"OLD WHITE HEAD."
Co. would my head was young again
As young u sesms mj heart,

That throng the marriage mart

That threadsof silver twine
Mloond about the fading mould.
No social joys are mine.

A freah a April showers
And through and through mj soul has sprang
A wealth of May-day flower ;
And fountain too, come flasain up
Through ruins of beaten gold
To lore I'd 11 a brimming cap,
If I waa not so old !
The pretty maidens seem so shy,
When'er I east a glance!
They seem to say jus' puss me by.
For you there is no chance !
Tit true I hopple on my eane :
To ixueamiah youth a dread,
And so tbey 're conjured up a name
And dub me "Old White Head ?" -

Seymour Lyle threw himself down on an
Ottoman at his inuibcr'a feet, aud engaged
liimsilf diilisrendy in a business which men
generally excel in tangling the silks and
worsteds in tha work-basket he had taken
from the ottoiu-in to his knee.
Mrs. Lyle lifted her silken morning robe
a little out of her sou 6 way for ehe was one
of tho.-e immaculate ladies who cannot bear

" lul when one o'clock struck.and
etill no Miss Annette. Just before two she
rang. John hastened to let her in. and in
shutting tbe door managed to set his foot
on the trailing skirts of her dress.
Her face flushed in anger, and she snatch
ed Her robes around her with anything but
the Jady like grace Seymour Lyle had al
ways so much admired in her.
Xou awkward clown!" she exclaimed
sharply. "Learn to keep off a lady's dress
or 1 will have you discharged 1"
"Beg pardon mem," said John, politely
palling his red foretop, "but it ain't every
poor fellow as has been brought up in the
school of politeness, and learned what to do
with his hands and feet."
"Who asked you to reply ?" she retorted,
contemptuously.
"Mobody, mem."
Mrs. Wayne met her on the stairs.
"Mother, that new footman of yours is
an idiot! And he looks enough to give me
the horrors. Heaven! what a chill evening
it Las been ! Mr. Lyle was not there, and
I made myself hideous in white and simplic
ity for nothing. No other person ha.s any

married, though. I will teach him thit dia
monds are more to my taste than .white ro
ses." J'l dare say," mutttered John between
his teeth. "I dare gay you'd have no
objection to begin the lesson at once."
All next day Miss Annette was cross and
out of sorts. On poor John her wrath es
pecially descended. He could do nothing
to suit her and more than one sharp repri
made he listened to, delivered in that voice
he had once thought so soft and sweet as
being incapable of being pitched to the high
key, which, after all seemed most natural to
it.
Annette gave John orders not to admit
any one ; she was not at home, and she pass
ed the day curled up ou the sofa in the back
parlor, and taking her ease iu a soiled wrap
per, and stockings none too freh from the
laundry.
J ust before dark there was a timid ring
at the door. John opened it, and saw a little
shivering Cguie on the broad steps. A pair
of brown eyes looked up wistfully in his
face, and a musical voice asked I
"Is Miss Annette at home?"
Looking into the brown eyes, and notic
ing the soft color which came and went so
charmingly on the pearly cheek, John forgot
that he he had orders to deny his vouoe
mistress to any callers, and said quite in his
natural voice
Tes, she is. Will you walk in !
The girl stepped into the hall, and he saw
that she was very thinly dressed, and that
she carried a bundle. lie ushered her into
the back parlor at once, where Annette hav
ing renounced her sofa, was ensconced in
an arm chair, with her feet on the tender.
She looked up and frowned at the intru
sion. - . m
"John ! yon stupid blockhead ! I told you
I was not at home to day !"
"Beg pardon, mein ; I forgot," said John,
nervously.
"Well, it's one of my working people, so
its of no particular consequence. Miss
Ainslee, have you brought me the cape ?
John put some coal on the fire. It's cold
as Greenland here. Let us see how you have
done it,' Mary-"
The girl unrolled her bundle, and display
ed a pink Thibet opera cape, embroidered
white so exquisitely that John forgot him
self again, and stood gazing at it in profound
admiration.
"Don't stand there gazing, John !" said
Annette sharply. "Put on some coal !"
Then to Miss Ainslee, "it is really very well
executed, and I will give you something
more of the same sort to do before long.
You can go now, for its nearly dark, aud
you'll be afraid if you stop louger."
Mis3 Ainslee rose, and hesitated on her
way to the door.
"If you could pay me for the work to
day," f he said in a tronbled voice, "my rent
due. and my little sister is ill "
"U, don't trouble to proceed," paid An
nette, coarsely, "I know the whole. There
is always a sick mother or sister. I can't
pay you to da it's eight dollars, I believe,
and I have only twenty by me, and that I
Ttant to-morrow. Call around next week, aud
I will pay you "
"Indeed, Miss Wayne," said the girl, in
a choked voice, "I pui suffering for it, or I
wouldn't ask you "
"Don't trouble me my good girl, I have a
headache to day, need restand quiet. I will
pay you next week. John show her out."
A bright scarlet rose to Miss Ainslee' s
checks as she followed the tall footman to
the door,- and John was sure he saw tears
in the 4rown eyes. She hurried down the
icy street, but before she had gone a dozen
rods, Mrs. Wayne's footman had overtaken
her.
"Here is something for you, Miss," said
he hastily, and thrust a ten dollar note into
her hand.
"O, Miss Wayne sent it, did she?" he
exclaimed joyfully. "I am so glad. And
you are so good to bring it."
"Thank you, mem," 6aid John, blushing
and not knowing what to say, but feeling
some way strangely well pleased with him
self. "Dear little thing!" said he to himself
"I wish I had given her fifty instead of ten,
but then she would Lave suspected that it
did not come from Mis3 Wayne, now pret
ty she is. I rather think I would like to be
her footman. I'll make her acquaintrnce
some way. It's fortunate for me that she
dropped her card in the hall as she went
oat; let me see," and he drew out a bit of
paste board and studied the delicate chirog
raphy by the light of the street lamp

w . ...
must.be dreadfully poor, for B street is
wretched place. But I'll make an errand
there.
The next day John knocked at the door
of No 8 B street. Miss Ainslee answered
the summons, and invited him to enter.
It was a meagre little room into which
she ushered him, but for all that it was neat
and cheerful A geranium was blooming on
the Bill, and on the table beside a cot bed
there was a red rosebush covered with blos
soms. On the bed lay a golden haired chil
of five or six years, her face wasted by dis
ease, and one transparent little hand resting
on tne quiet head ot a little white kitten.
FoorJohn was terribly embarrassed, but
Miss Ainslee kindly helped hiui to an expla
nation of his errand.
"You come from Miss Wayne, I suppose?
"Yes, mem," John, "that is to say no
mem! 1 come for myelf," and he came
to a dead stop.
Mary was looking at him curiously, so he
plunged into the matter at random.
"You see I thought, that is I decided I
should like an opera cape myself like Miss
Wayne s you know."
The girl laughed, but checked herself at
the sight of her visitor's distressed face.
"For a friend I suppose ?"
John caught eagerly at the suggestion.
Aes, yes, ior a iriena. les, you are
correct. Can you do it for me?"
"What color would you prefer?"
"O any color," said John ; "it don't mat
ter! that is, it is immaterial. How would a
green one look !"
"I should hardly fancy that color," re
plied Mary.
ell, well, I leave it all to your good
taste. It is for an elderly lady, and there
is money to purchase the material, and you
need not hurry about ths work. Any time
will do."
"Miss Ainslee picked up the hundred
dollar note laid down, and regarded him in
silent surprisr.
I am not insane," he said laughingly,
enly a little eccentric ''
"But here is much more than enough
money
O, never mind about that ! we will set
tie that when the work is done. And I
shall want to call on you now and iLcn to
see how you get along with it."
And John bowed himself out.
The next day he gave Mrs. Wayne notice
that he must leave her ; the work dido
agree with his digestion, w as the reason he
gave.
He was satisfied as regarded Annette.
and 31 rs. Lyle was forced to give , up her
long cherished plan of seeing her son the
husband of the gay and beautiful belle.
Seymour Lyle was in his office every day
until six o'clock, and after that hour no otic
knew anything of his whereabouts. But
John, Mrs. Wayne's quandaui foot man,
was at No. 8 B street almost every evening,
He was so interested in the progress of
that cape that he could not let a day pass
without giving its inspection his personal
attention, and he contrived to make himself
so agreeable to Miss Ainslee that she looked
for the coming of the shabby blue coat, and
the red hair under that seedy hat, as one
looks for a ray of runsbine in a cloudy day.
Little Nellie, the sick child was never so
free from pain, as she was when John's
strong arms held her, and she listened to the
stories he told her. and the songs he sung
her, as she listened to nothing else on earth.
Aoor little thing ! her life of suffering
grew feebler 'every day, and one morning,
while alone with her sister, she put her two
hands together and cried out
"Mamma, take me!"
"Mary caught her to her bosom, but she
held only clay. The beautiful spirit had
flown to I er mother; who, perhaps even in
Paradise, had been lonely without her dar
ling. Two days after the funeral of Nellie, John
came to spend the evening with Mary. She
confided in him fully now, she told him for
the first time her simple history. Her fath
er had been a distinguished physician, but
through his many charities he had left his
children only poverty at his death. Mary
had sewed and embroidered ever since, and
taken care of Nellie. Now God had assum
ed care of her.
"And what will you do, now, Mary?"
said John taking her hand.
"I shall go on in the old way"
"No, you will not," he said earnestly,
"that is if I can prevent it. You know just
how poor and humble and ill looking I am,
but I love you, darling, with all the strength
of an honest heart ; and, thank God it is an
honest one ! Do you think you could love
mc, Mary !"
"I do love you, John," she said softly.
"What, with my speckled face aud shock
of red hair?"
"You have beautiful eyes, John, and
your face just suits me."
"My own Mary?" He pressed her to his
bosom and kissed her tenderly.
Thfn he put Ler away from him, got up
and tore off the red wig. One vigorojis ap
plication of his handkerchief left his face
clear of all freckles and spots, and Seymour
Lyle stood before her.
"You have deceived me !" she exclaimed.
"John what means this?"
"I have been enjoying a little masquer
ade. Forgive me. I shall always regaid
it as the golden moment of my life when I
made application for the situation as foot
man to Mrs. Wayne. Else, perhaps, I
should never have known you, my darling."
"But who are'you? I do not under
stand" "I am Seymour Lyle. My good mother
has been for some time arranging a marri
it
age between myself and Annette Wayne.
And I, not being so sure that the young la
dy mentioned was the angel she seemed,
disguised myself, and obtained the situation
of footman in her mother's house. I am
satisfied with the result, and now when shall
I have my wife?"
"Indeed. Mr. Lyle, everything is chang
ed now. You are a man of wealth and po
sition and
'All the more reason why I should not
wait," he exclaimed, taking her to his arm
again ; and we presume that his arguments
were all convincing, for a month later there
was a wedding at St. Paul's, and Mary
Ainslee was the bride. .
And Miss Annette Wayne wondered
where on earth Seymour Lyle managed to
pick up that wretched little Miss Ainslee.
What a Pair of Andirons Cost.
"Peter," said my uncle, knocking the
ashes from bis pipe, and gazing on the an
dirons. "Peter, those cost me one thousand
dollars."
"Dear me 1" exclaimed my aunt.
"Oh, father 1" cried the girls.
"Impossible!" said I.
"True, every word of it. One thousand
did I say? yes, two thousand dollars."
"Well, well," said my aunt, folding up
her knitting for the night, "I should like to
know what you are talking about?"
My uncle bent forward and planting his
hands firmly on his parted knees, and with a
deliberate air which showed no doubt of his
being able to prove his assertions, he began
iv- II - J
en, you see, a gooa many years ago.
we had a pair of old common andirons.
Your cousin Letty says one day, 'Father,
don't you thirk that these old andirons are
getting too Shabby?' Shabby or not, I tho'
they would hold up the wood as nicely as i
they were made of gold. Soon after that
Peter, your aunt took it up. and "
"There it goes," interrupted my aunt
'you can't get along without dragging me
mto it.
'Your aunt took it up, Peter, and she
said our neighbors could afford brass audi
rons, ana tney were no better on than we
were. And she said Letty and her sister
Jane were just getting old enough to see
company, and the stingy looking andirons
might hurt their market. I know that wo
men will have'their own way, and there is
no use objecting; so I got the andirons.
The price of them was four dollars and a
half"
"Ah, that's more like it!" cried my aunt.
"I thought you said two thousand dollars!'
Aiy dear, I wish you would not inter
rupt me. Pour and a half. Well, the uight
after we got them, as we all sa. by the warm
fire talking over the matter, Letty called my
attention to the hearth, the stones of which
were cracked and uneven. The hearth was
entirely out of keeping with the new and
rons, and I thought I might a well have it
replaced first as last. The next day a ma
son was sent ior to examine it. lie came in
my absence, and on my return home, your
aunt and cousins beset me to have a marble
slab, and they put their heads together
La, me, exclaimed my aunt, "there
was no putting heads together about it. The
hearth was an- old worn ont thing, not fit
for a pis pen."
They put their heads to gether about it,
Peter, as I was saying, and continued until
cot a marble hearth, which cost me twenty
dollars yes, twenty dollars, at least. Then
I thought I was done with expenses, but I
was entirely wrong. Soon I began to hear
sly hints thrown out about the brickwork
around the fireplace not corresponding with
the hearth. I stood for a month or two
against your aunt and the girls, but they at
length got the better of me, and I was forced
to have marble instead of brick. And then
the old wood mantle piece was so out of char
acter that it was necessary to have a marble
one. i he cost or this was nearly one hun
dred dollars. And now that the spirit of
mprovement had got a start, there was no
stopping. The new mantel put to shame
the old white-washed walls, and they must
be painted, of course, and to prepare them
for paint sundry repairs were necessary.
While this was going on, your aunt and the
girls appeared to be quite satisged.and when
it was done they h 'd no idea that the old
parlor could be made to look so spruce. But
this was only a short respite. The old rag
carpet began to raise a dust, and I foupd
that there would be no peace "
"Now father," exclaimed the girls,
"Till I got a new carpet That, again.
shamed the old furniture, and it had to be
turned out and replaced with new. Now,
Peter, my lad, count up twenty dollars for
the hearth, and one hundred and thirty for
the mantlo piece and repairs. What does
that make?"
"One hundred and fifty, uncle."
"Well, fifty for paper and paint"
"Two hundred."
"Then fifty for carpet, and one hundred,
at least for furniture."
"Three hundred and fifty."
"Ahem ! There's that clock and the blinds
fifty more."
"Four hundred, exactly." My aunt and
cousins winked at each other.
"Now," continued my uncle, "so mueh
for this one room. No sooner was the room
finished, than complaints came from all
quarters about the dining room and entry.
Long before this I had surrendered at their
iscretion, and handed in my submission.
The dining room and entry cost each two
undred more. What does that count.
Peter?"
"Eight hundred, uncle."
"Then the chambers at least four hun
dred, to make them chime with the down
stairs."
"Twelve hundred."
"The outside of he house had to be re
paired and painted of course. Add two
hundred for that'.'
"Fourteen hundred."
"Then there must be a piazza in front ;
that cost two hundred."
"Sixteen hundred."
"Here aunt began to yawn, Letty to poke
the fire, and Jane to twirl over the leaves of
a book."
"A new carriage came next, Peter, that
cost two hundred dollars."
"Eighteen hundred dollars !"
"Then there was a lawn to be laid out
and neatly fenced a servant to be hired
parties given occasionally bonnets and
dresses at double the former cost, and a
hundred other little expenses in keeping
with the order of things. Yes, Peter, I was
entirely withiu bounds when I said two
thousand dollars."
The opposition was silent. My aunt im
mediately arose and "guessed it was bed
time." I was left alone with my uncle, who
was a persevering man and never gave up
what he undertook, till ho had done the
work thoroughly, So he brought his books
and accounts and set about making an exact
estimate of the expenses. He kept me up
till lifter midnight before he got through.
His conclusion was that the pair of andirons
cost him twenty-four hundred and fifty dol
lars. A Tough One.
The "Fat Contributor" gets off this lat
est bedbug story : "Talk about bedbugs,"
said Bill Jones, who had been across the
plains, 'you should have seen some of the
critters I met in Idaho last spring. I stop
ped one uight with some settlers, who lived
in a little log cabin containing only one room
and a loft. When it- came near time to go
to bed they strung a blanket across the mid
die of tho room, and the settler's family
slept on one side of it and give me the toth
er. I laid down to go to sleep, and the
bedbugs began to gather like lunch eaters
around a fiee lay-out. I tried to kiver up
and keep away from 'em, but the pesky
varmints would catch hold of the bedclothes
and pull them off from me. They didn't
think nothin' of draggin' me around the
room if I held on. I fit em, till about mid
uight, and then I looked around for some
way of escape. There was a ladder rcachin'
up into the loft, and I thought the best way
to get away fro.n the blood-suckers was to
climb up thar, so I did. There wasn't any
bugs in the loft, and I laid down congram
laiin' myseif on my escape. Pretty quick I
heard the ladder sqaakin' as if somebody
was coniin' up. Bimeby I saw a bedbiif
raise himself up through the floor and look
carefully around the loft Soon's he saw
me he montioned to his chums below, the
bloody-thirsty cuss, and cried, esultin'ly:
Come up, buys ; he litre !
Carefully Bhocgitt Up. A pious old
clergyman, while wending his way to church
one Sunday morning, caught sight of the
two sons of one of his parishioners, going
into the woods, evidently for the purpose of
hunting. Feeling certain that anything like
direct remonstrance with the j oung gentle
men themselves would scarcely turn them
from their ways, he waited until after

their father. Alter recounting the circum
stances of meeting Billy and Sammy as he
had done, he closed an affecting appeal by
inquiring of their father why they had not
been brought up in the fear of the Lord?"
"Fear of the Lord, parson fear of the
Lord I Why, they have! They're so 'feared
of h iui now they dasscnt go out Sunday

When Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer in
Illinois, he and the Judge once got to bant
ering one another about trading horses, and
t was agreed tbet the next morning at 9
o'clock, they should make a trade, the horses
to be unseej until that hour, and no back
ing out, under a forfeait of $25. At the
hour appointed, the Judge came up, lead
ing the sorriest looking specimen of a horse
ever seen in those parts. In a few minutes,
Mr. Lincoln was scen approaching with a
wooden saw-horse on his shoulder, great
were the shouts and laughter of the crowd,
and both were greatly increased, when Mr.
Lincoln, on surveying the Judge's animal ;
set down his horse, and exclaimed, "Well,
Judge, this is tho first time I ever got the
worst of it in a horse trade."
