0 :VW 11RIPLISTS . S
For thirty years .Miss Higgins had
looked under her bed every night, and
had never found a man there 3 et. Still
she looked. Whether it was fear that
impelled that 'deathless research, or a
fatality that was beckoning her to her
fate, I know not. „It - would seem, how
ever, to be the former, for she had often
been heard to observe ' That of all the
abominations on earth, a man is the most
aboniinable.'
Indeed, at - the informal tea drinkings
of the allied forces of Chesterville, the
three Misses Wheeler, and the two Misses
Jones, she had often excelled them all in
the withering, tone with which slawould
repeat : ' Man I man I' and no ono could
breathe greater defiance at this focman
than she. It was at ono of those ten
parties that they had entered into a sol
emn compact that, in the event:of-Wom
an's Rights giving, either of these allied
sovereigns power over the nation au
Eastern law was to be by them imported
and Unmoved, and h usbands buried with
the dead bodies of their wives.
As Eunice Higgins well remarked :
That would put an ; , end to widowers
pretty lively.' Arid With this remark
the hyson flowed, and the wassail went
- on.—with such spirit, that AureliWilder
the most radieaV added another clause :
That the children of widowers should
be throwed in too, and not bon botberin'
other women.' This also was well re
ceived.
Now, if any one thinks Miss Eunice
Higgins was a woman devoid-of virtue
and womanly graces, I pity hini—heris
so utterly mistaken. She had assisted a
drunken fathor.through the world, till be ,
made his exit—sustained and supported
a feeble mother—rind three or four child,
rem, older but Moro helpless than she,
till the mother Went home to her reward,
and the children fotind flourishing homes .
for theMselves, with the exception of the
eldest son, who had followed his father's
footsteps, literally. Indeed, when one
contemplates the specimens of manhood
Ebel had Upon most familiar with, her
aversion to - the sex does not seem so
wonderful. She was not shrewd eyed,'
but good and kindly looking. No liome
- was-brighter than hers. No farm better
managed.
The night on which commences my
- humble history, Miss - Higgins went to
her coom n unsstial good 'Minor. She
, had 7 had a tea party. The allies had-all
becti preent, and admitted unanimously
that soch fragrant tea, such snowy bis
cuits and honey; such golden hotter, such
cakes and sweetmeats had not been par
taken of that season. The scene of her
benign vietory'tiose before her as she took
ett the little switch of hair at the back of
her head, and pensively rolled it up ere
she put it in the - top bureau drawer.
She saw again the pleasant sun shining
in, through her house plants in the win
dow, upon the crimson druggett of the
dining-room ; the snowy tea topic with.
its silver and pink sprigged china ; the
admiring faces ()flier friends as they; par
. took of her delicious food. But one
memory disquieted her : 'She almost
mistrusted her lemon extract was losing
its strength—the frosting on the fruit
cake didn't seem to be flavored quite
enough.' But this haunting matter was
softened by the thought Alta 'she cofild
get n new bottle of extract to-morrow.'.
By this tame she was .al•rayed' in her
long white night gown. .Shm folded up
every mtlule of °hulling oiOttid,it,doW9
at right tingles, she locked up her breast
join ; and thou, impelled by fate, she
calmly advanced to the side of the bed,
and raised the snowy valances—gal/a ono
shriek, and fell bacl:tward on the carpet,

fatigue.had overpowered him, and he had
fallen asleep; and was awakened only by
her screams as she discovered him.
Miss Higgins had found the man she
had been looking for thirty years, but
now the question ; aroso what• was she to
do with him ? As ho had no' designs
upon hor property 'or her life, she could
not lecture, him therefore. Aud as his
courage arose, , he displayed a pretty—a
very pretty—face, surmounted by a mass
of bright curls, in which shone two hen's
feathers. bliss Higgins W'as very neat,
but where is the feather bed that will
not occasionally shed a feW feathers, dry
tears happily falling, over memories of
former fights?
Miss Higgins' good sense, backed by
her good Least, taught her that what.
her man needed now was a good supper
and a bed. But ill the morning the ques
tion again.,vexcd her : What was she to
do with her_man should she advertise
him ? Again she questioned him in the
sunlighted dinner-room as he ate his ex
cellent breakfast.
' Whereabouts Ill) your folks live—in
what place ?'
He looked up mildly at her, with a largo
piece of peach pie midway between his
plate and mouth, ae4 answered, obedi

' Our folks' house.'
' Who is your folks'.'

The allies were called in ; the stiffly
starched inquest sat on Miss Higgins's
man. The additional result of their
over questioning, beiug,,,that there was
every evidence that the father of Miss
fliggins's man belonged to that corrupt
and shanreless sect—widowers !
tiiggins trembled.
Had she,kot better dispose of her
man at once Vas it not in a way en
couraging
widowers in their nefarious
doings, to harbor these small men ?'
She asked these questions with some
relenting of heart, for already had the
childish 'charms of her man won upon
her, and it was with great relief that she_
heard the decision of A.urelia, the most
radical of the allies.
'No I keep him hero.' Such a.chance
was seldom,_ , vouchsafed to, the allies to
teach one of these men—widowers—a
lesson•they would not soon forget.
'Punish that unnatural widower o by
saying nothing about the child. Let
him think he is lost ; let him hunt up
the best way - he can.'
The youngest Miss Jones—she was
only forty, and naturally timid and ap
prehensive—suggested that ' it would 1.»;'
just like,one of these to come right here
to Miss Miggins's after him. There
wasn't anything that they hadn't the
fade to do. It would be just like cue on

A YOUNG PHYSICIAN HAS A MATRIMO
EE=E!
A. physician of this oily imnt into his
office some twelve month, ago and found
seated there a young and lovely lady, of
cultivated manners and apparently of
good character. Tho doctor at first
thought her a patient and began to lay
away his overcoat, gloves, cane, &c.,
with the view of sitting down ancya.l4-
ing with the fair visitor. She said very
little during the first few minutes, but
wore -11: serious and pensive expression
which only mail() her features more-at
tractive. Half hesitating, yet charmed
with the young beauty, the doctor be
on :
Well, miss, what caii I do for you ?'
The damsel did not seem at all con
fused, but throwing ba'cli , her auburn
curls and looking the doctorsquarely in
the ey . O, she replied ; j
' You can marry me '
Leap year had not commeneed, and
the M. D., though a young' physician,
was considerably nonplussed. The lady
did not laugh or smile, or show any
emotion. She was evidently in earnest,
and awaited his answer with marked anx
iety. A few minutes of painful suspense
followed, in which nercif f er of them spoke
a word. Ho declined to , say ' no,' yet he
was not prepared without further lie-
Tlaintaticc, to say ' yes.' The proposl
tion had never been made to hint before,
and a little time for consultation with
friends and relatives and bankers must
be allowed. Accordingly ho said to her :
' I believe in first love and early mar
riages. They . Promote the' happiness
and welfare of Hie hurintu race x more that/
any other institution of social life. In
the pr soot instance, however, you must
give•me a yca.l in which to make uP my

The young lady, itl lough evidently dis
appointed, and somewhat crest-fallen,
rose from her scat, promised to be punc
tual in returning at tho end of the year,
and bowing gracefully, said - ' ? good-by,'
and departed. She vanquished from the
lien a_ the young physician as if by
magic and was heard of no more for a
i
l
time. "he doctor often recalled her im.

she wouldneally return and again solicit.
his hand in marriage.
_ The ap_pdinted time, however, came a
clay , ,dir`tVo e go, and prompt, even to the
lieur, was the same fair lady. She en
tered tho odfce, and in a sweet voice,
but, with the same serious and unsfve
expression, said to the doctor :
' I havo called for your reply to my

THE OLD CRADLE.
BY REV. T. DE WITT TALMAGE
The historic and old-time Cradle is
dead, and buried in• the rubbish of the
garret. A baby of five months, filled
with modern notions, would spurn to bo
rocked in the awkward and rustic thing.
The baby spits the " Alexandra: feeding
bottle" out of its mouth, and protests
against the old fashioned, cradle, giving
emphasis to its utterances by throwing
down a rattle that cost sovon dollars, and
kicking, off a shoe imported at fabulous
expense, and upsetting the "baby
basket" with all its treasures of ivory
hair-brushes and ''.Men Fun." Not
with voice, but by ,violence of gesture
and kicks ‘lind squirms it says :
" What I You going to put mo in that
old cradle? Where is the nurse? My
patience I What does .mother moan?
Get me patent self-rocker " The
parents yield. In comes the now-fangled
crib. The machine is wound up, the
baby put in, the crib sot in motion, and
mother r . grs off to make a first-rate
speech a' the ".Woman's Rights Con
vention I" „ Conundrum : Why is a
maternal elocutionist of this sort like a
mother of old time, who trained four
sons for the holy ministry, and through
them was the means of reforming •and
saving a thousand souls, and through
that thousand of saving ton .thousand
more? You answer : "No resemblance
at all !" You are right. Guessed the
conundrum the first time. Go up to the
head of the class I
Now, the "patented self-rockers," no
doubt, have their proper use ; but go up'
with me into the garrepof your old home
stead, and exhume the cradle that you, a
good while ago, slept in. The rockers
'are somewhat rough ; as though a
farmer's piano had fashioned them, and
the sides just high enough for a child to
learn to walk by. What a homely thing,
take it all in all I You say : Stop your
deprecation I We wore all rocked in
that. For about fifteen years that cradle
was going much of the time. When the
older child was taken out, a smaller child
was put in, The crackle of the rockers
is pleashut yet id my ears. There I took
my first lessons in music as mother sang
to. me. Have heard what. you would
call far, better singing since Then ) but
nouo that so, thoroughly touched me.,
She never got five hundred dollars per
night for singing three_ songs at the
Academy, with two or three encores
grudgefully thrown in ; but without pay
she sometimes sang ell eight, and came
out—v4sfiever encored, though she had
oult,twodittle ears for an audience. It

You see the edge of thit rocker, worn
quite deep ? That is where her foot was
placed while she sat with her knitting or
sowing, on summer afternoons, while the
bees hummednat the door, the shout of thej
boy and the oxen Were heard in the field.
From the way the rocker is worn, I
think that sometimes the foot must have
been vedly tired, and the ankle very sore ;
but I-do not think sbp stopped for that.
When such a cradle as that got living,
it kept on for years.
Scarlet fever came in the dpor;•and we
all had it ; and oh how the cradle did
go ! Wo contended. as to who shetild lie
iu it, for sickness, you knOw,
-babies of us all. But after a while,we
surrendered it to Charlie. He was too
old to lie in it, but he seemed so very; •
very sick ; and with him in the dradlo It
was " Rock I" "Hock I" "Rook I" But
ono day, just as lone ago as you can
remember the cradle stopped. When a
child is asleep there is no need of rocking:
Charlie • Was, asleep. • He was sound
asleep, Nothing would Wake him. •

to do it. The neighbors came in to do
that, and - put tiAlOwer, fresh out of .the
garden dew; between the two still Bands,
The • fever had .gone out of. the .eheek,
and left it white, very white ; the rose,
exchanged for the lily. There was ono

so firm as before,' but more tender, the

which.

how well they understood Italian.
There was a' wooden canopy at tho,

loose and was taken off. But your-in

THE MAD ENGINEER
Daniel Dupont was an engineer on the
—R. R. A good-natured, brave, hon
est and hardy young man. Industrious
and attentive to his business, be had be
come unite a pot of his company. His
locomotive, the prairie Star, was kept
in gooci•dor, and made the best time
of any on the road. Ho was large, pow
erful of frame, and the very picture of
good health ; but he had a wife who was
directly his opposite, to whom he was
most tenderly and devotedly attached.
Minnie Dupont was a pale but pretty
little woman, twenty-five years of age
who, we might say, had scarcely enjoyed
a day Of good health for five years. It
was natural for her to cling to her manly
husband, who was three years her senior,
as her superior in everything.
One Monday morning as Daniel was
leaving his pleasant little home for his
regular trip, his wife complained of feel
ing unwell, and expressed a wish that
ho would get some one else to run the
train that time: •
The young engineer, with his hand on
the door-knob, paused and glanced at
his wife. She looked no paler than
usual, and ho could see no use in re
maining.
Minnie,' he.said, have asked leave
so often to stay with you, that I fear the
company will become tired of it, and I
lose my position.'
Daniel Dupont was pbor, and his pro
fession was his only means of sustenance.
Minnie, patient, darling Minnie, only
heaved a sigh, but said not another word.
Her husband wont. His conscience
felt a pant ; but engrossed in the man
agement of his engine, he forgot his suf
fering wife at borne. The trip was nihdo
to the entire end of the road, and two
days after Dupont's departure from T—,
the train Was within two hundred and
forty miles of his home. As it thundered
into a station the operator ran out and
waiving his handkerchief, shouted :
Dupont
'Aye, aye,' responded an individual,
black with coal, and grim with soot,
leaning out from the engine room.
' A telegram for you,' handing him a
slip of paper. He took the telegram and
glanced at it. It was brief, but con
tained enough to drive the blood from
his cheek to his heart.
' Your wite is 'very sick ; she cannot
live.'
To which was added)
'Oh, coma home to your dying Min-
' Dome 1 yes I will I' lie cried, as with
his hard brawny hand he dashed' the
tears from his eyes. 'Jake,' he-shouted
to the fireman, 'uncouple us from the
' Why, Dan, what—'
' Quick, I say, and ask no questions.'
The faithful fireman obeyed, and quick
as light—the work was done.
The engine sprang forward with a
lurch that sent the man to the feet of his
chief.
When he regained hie equilibrium they
were leaving the train behind and speed
ing forward like the wind.
e rig, toiled fireman glanced at the
engineer, whose face was the.picture of
'stony firmness ; his strong hand on the
lever told that he was putting on every
ounce of steam there was to spare.
'More coal,' he shrieked in harsh, sep
ulchral tones. The fireman heaped the
furnace full. The black smoke rolled
back ip ono .vast cloud. Faster and
faster theybflow. The engineer leaning
'out, his face although black and grim,
displaying a deathly pallor.
. They thundered past one. two stations,
and although wed,
no heed was paid to I iced
out at thci.earth, which appeared a mere
shimmering shadow. He thought of
meeting some up train, and tiro fearful
collision it would produce. Faster and
faster the locomotive went, until its fear
ful roar became a grolin. It reeled and
staggered from side to side ; the spindles
became hot and melted drops of iron
dripped front them. The fireinaWs face
was haggard with fear, and the engi
neer's eyes blazed like those of a lunatic.
The 'wires . flashed news to a station
ahead :
engineer is on the road ; throw
open the switch.'
Ero it could be done, the engine rushed .
past the station, and was speeding, groan
ing, staggering on.
• Several trains had been passeod, but
luckily iill were on the switches, and no
impediment had boon met. A telegram
was next flashed along the wliole line :
• 'keep the track clear ; a tiled engineer
is on the road.' •
Dupont spoke not a word, save to
commAnd_tite - fireman and got more
speed, or d6casionally exclaim :
'Oh Alinnie, Pru coming.'
The groaning locomotive was now run
ni4, at the fearful rata of seventy miles
an hour. Trains wore rapidly run off
the track, and iu loss than four hours he
stopped in the town of T and ran
up to his house. Ho was only in time to
clasp his darling wife in his arms, re
ceive her-last kiss and parting blessing
ore hot' spirit fled. To express. his wild
grief would be impossible. . For months
his life and reason was despaired Of ; but
gradually ha became reconciled, to• his
fate and returned to his business.
was only a few days ago, as I was
waiting at the depot for the train, a fel
low passenger pointed to a sad-faced
looking person, busily employed upon
an engine, with hair prematurely grown
gray, and said :
