Every old county town like ours scat tered through the length and breadth of Pennsylvania has its stocks of smail social tragedies told at nightfal l at warm ingle side or vine clad porch with bated breath. Our dear old Mercer is both rich and sad in these, and many there are of them that were better for not being told. I have one in mv mind at 'his moment from which the skillful threader of ro mance could weave a tale that would well emplov talent more gifted than this halt ing pen. In 1547 I was a schooi lad of eld Tom Berry's school in Butler. I can reca l a score or more of the boys and girl:"-, most o* whom sat, in the long summer davs, barelegged and barefooted, on the inner row of benches set apart for the k ids' use. The larger or older "scholars save the mark), of whom I was one, sat at desks around the wall, boys and girls "promiscus,' - and as it now seems to me as bright and happy a lot as were ever birched and booked by that old time Scotch-Irish schoolmaster. Two children of my years sat together in. one form in front of mine; they were petite, pretty, and precocious—brother and Sister, George and Sis Smith, Tom Berry's little school in time be came too small for these children of wealthy parents, and in due season George beccame a man, then an officer of the 13th United States Infantry. Later the cruel Apache of Arizona carried his scalp-lock at his belt, while his poor bones lay bleaching in the desert sun: And that is about all George has to do with this history. The sister, who was the pet of Tom Berry's school, and admired of all the bovs, grew handsomer than I could ever attempt to describe, and was sent to Kit tanning Seminary under the care of a supposed uncle, Jcdge Buffington, of the Armstrong Bench. Meanwhile the putative parents of these bright children had removed to the far west, the father being a high govern ment official appointed by the President to the territory of Kansas; later elected by the people to the Lieutenant Govern orship—the Hon. Geo. W. Smith, friend and coadjutor of Ossawattomie Brown. * * The semiuary mail brought a letter one day for Sis Smith. It was of current date and written from one of the hotets of the town, and ran thus: "MY DEAR CHILD: Your mother, whom you never knew, is breaking her heart to see you at this hotel," (Signed.) There was consternation in the house of Judge 8., of Kittaning, when his pret ty niece failed to appear at supper that evening. The seminary people were wild at the disappearance of the most inter esting of all its young ladies. In time people spoke of a mysterious "person" in black who had frequendy been seen in the town in the vicinity of the seminary. Putting that and that to gether— Well, suffice it to say, the tale was tabu, and "poor Miss Smith" be came only a memory at that brilliant in stitution. What has Mercer to do with all this? | Wait till the stage comes in. That is exactly what I was doing one evening, late in the fifties, when the "coach and four" from Enon, the near est railway station, came up Erie street to the sound of horn, It pulled up all the residence of Mr. J. P. Garrett, one of the notables of our town—the aristo crat— the Whig leader— the Warwiek of hfs day in county and State. I can see him now, his grand form, graceful poise, leonine air, a veritable king among men, handsome withal as a picture. He was a story teller like Scott, a violinist like Old hull, with the voice of Sim Reeves; the courage of a hero, yet gentle and kind as a woman. His qnaint cottage still stands where he lived his long and lonely life, his friends and correspond ents throughout the world taking all his time. I have seen him looking over his unopened mall. Taking the letters up singly he would say: "Here is one from Simon, and here another from Sa'mon, one from Thad, Andy, Fess," and so 011 through the list. His distinguished cor respondents were the elder Cameron, Chase' Stephens, Curtin, Fessenden and others of equal note in this and the old er world. Whenever "the stage" stopped at the Garrett home in that day. or even much earlier in the reign of his mother (the aristocratic old Philadelphia Quakeress, who lived alone a.id instate with ber Pearson dignity for more years than I can now say—except we count for com pany her bro« her Tommy who kept a hunter end rode to hounds) some person o» note and distincton was known to have come to Mercer. Looking up the street I saw the portly dignity of Mr. Garrett approach the coach door, which the driver held open for some one to alight, and raising his hij;h silk hat he extended his hand to that someone, who in an instant stood in front of tim, trimly clad, neat of figure, and looked into his face with an anxious, inquiring look, as though she were say ing, "ThUis Mr. Garrett, I believe?" I could not hear the words. Without any effuson of greeting, but politely tlie lady was "waved" to the open gate, as one would say, "walk in, please," Mr. Garrett stopped to see about the trunks, etc., for an instant, and im mediately followed his guest within. While I stood wondering who this might be who had come to the old man's soli tary home, they both quickly reappeared, the driver had not yet closed the coscli door, so brief was the time. The lady with downcast head and uncertain step was assisted to re-mount, by Mr. Garrett, who formally raised his hat again and again, and retreating with a backward step toward his still open gate; and as if to emphasize the movement of hi« head gear 1 heard him, though almost a square away, shouting, "Not by a sight, madam; not by a sight." and was again lost to view. At this point in a rather unintelligible scene, the coach and team under the whip turned around the corner and was lost to view. '.Vliat could all this exhibition of po liglitness and choler simultaneously on the part of this Admirable Chrichton mean? But 1 "forgot the incident almost while thinking about it, One Jim Jones at that day kept the old brick inn on the square. Jones came to me about dusk ol that same summer evening with a note which ran thus: i (juote from memory: "My DEAR OI.I> -: I find myself in your town under most distressing cir cumstances. May I ask you to come and see me. lam sadly in need of someone to whom 1 can communicate my trouble. You will remember me as your old school-fellow at lierrv's, his Smith." [Signed] When this sees the light, if it ever should, the principals will long since have been dead, no doubt, so I use right names, from beginning to end, What ever I do 1 would not offend the living or wrong the dead. In response to the note referred to, I was soon at the hotel, and Jones—not the Colonel, but another Jones, Jim showed me into the ladies' parlor, then at the foot of the stairway, first floor. I was inet with two open liancs—Sis f>mith of more than ten years ago. The sweet little girl hail grow n into a lovely woman hut the same high breeding and gentle nature still shown through her eyes bathed though they were in tears. It was moment? after asking me to be seated be fore she could command her voice to speak. "I must tell you how and why I am in Mercer," she began, "and O, it is so humiliating I scarcely think I can get through it; but I must explain to some one, and your are the only one whom I know m the p ace, where I have never been before. You must know the story of my disappearance from school at Kit tanuing with my real mother; that the Smiths of ISutler were not my parents; but I doubt if you ever knew until this moment that my father is one of the IR-st known citizens of this place. It L true that my childhood was a most happy one Mr. and Mrs. Smith were kind and in dulgent, giving me every advantage of wealth and education, that their only daughter as 1 supposed myself to be, could enjoy. 1 never knew a thought or care beyond loving and pleasing them till one day at the seminary I received a | uote telling the cruel truth that I was not the Sis Smith my friends and pla\ - mates believed me; that these dear ones in Butler whom I called father, mother, brother were not mine; I was not their s 0, it was a hard awakening from a most lovely, Heavenly dream. hat was 1 if not their daughter? Whose sister was lif not dear George's? Cut off as if at one blow from all that 1 had hitherto known as my own. buried alive, as 1 might say, from all that I had believed my own, I at once resolved in the hun ger of affection w h'.ch is so strong in my nature that I would go to this woman who claimed me a= her child. I din so. Natural instinct at once told me she was, as she claimed, my mother I threw myself into her arms a.id said. Mother of mine I know you are, whatever else you are or have been. My duty is with you, and with you I will go to your home whatever or however humble it may be good or bad. She placed me at school near Philadelphia. At the close of school age, I married the man of my choice. We have children, and are so happy. . " For several years my mother advised me that my father might come some day to see me: that he lived at .Mercer, was a gent eman; that I was his picture in miniature. I never at any time felt in terest in or affection for him who had done my mother such irreparable wrong nor did I wish to see him. _ But some months ago my mother hearing that Mr. W. S. Garvin was in the city, called on him at his hotel, and on inquiry learned from him that Mr. Garrett was childless, alone, and in pitiable old age, with small estate; having lived past most of his friends. This did not commiserate my feelirgs toward him; for my poor mother wrongs were uppermost in my thoughts, Late one day, and not long since Mr. Garvin wrote my mother that Mr. Gar retts condition needed the affectionat; care and companionship of his daughter (myself); that I owed it to him to come on and care for him in the distress of his old age and its infirmities. X y husband whose slightest thought I would wish to • bey, at last consented to my coming for a few weeks at longest; and having his and the children's pictures taken, I had brought them in m.> pride, thinking he might be glad to see them-his son-in-law and grand children. "And so I came, in pity, to see my father, as Mr. Garvin said he needed me. "Told that he was a gentleman, and fondly believing it, I came from a good home, a kind husband and loving sweet children, to be spurned from his door as he spurned my poor mother, whom he wronged years ago. Your have heard all I have to say. I wish you who know him to learn from her how he treated his daughter who came in his old age to give him the comfort she was told he so much needed. And now indulge me further while I say the sad thing about it is that I will go home to my dear hus band to tell him that my father is not a gentleman after all." I bade her good-night and promised myself to call and see her in the morn ing. At the hotel next day I said good-bye to my old school fellow, and saw her comfortably off on her long journey, as it then was, to Harrisburg. Her eyes were very bright; not a tear had left its mark on ber pretty lace. She held out her soft jeweled hand through the coach door, and with a warm pressure said: "Good-bye, Don't waste any re grets on me, lam only sorry my father is not a gentleman, aft**r all, though lie does look it, doesn't he. Pity! isn't it? Good-bye." Anil there may have been some mis take about it, after all, for " 'tis a wise child that knows its own father." W.
