Robert Hope and Samuel flullins had lived
next door . to, one, another for more than
tiveli , e years, and it is probable they, would
- have continued to live in harmony if Sam
uel,:whe ;had served under Admiral Nelson,
had not' gained at Trafalgar a, small pension
which he paid for by the loss of one: of his
legs. Now, partly that leg, and more
that; pension, Were constant objects of jeal
ousy for Robert; he blamed fate' for having
left him two legs, and he complained bitter
.to God because he could not, as he said,
sell his legs at the same price as Sullins.—
Every time he went to pay his rent he re
peated grumblingly that his neighbor was a
very-happy Man; that he was, well able• to
pay rent, the king gave him such a good
pension.
At first Robert contented himself with
talking of his grieyance to himpelf, but lit
tle by little his discontent *LIS expregeed

his rent, and as he was going • toward the
tense, of ..Mr. Taylor to make ,his excuses,
he irk his neighbor Hollins, who was-go
`lag as regular as a clock to pay his rent.—
The very sight' of Samuel had-on Robert
the effect of 'sickness, so that when he,bow
eci his head in reply to the - salutation of
Hollins his face singularly resembled that
of a bull showing his horns 'to a deg.• On
reaching the house of the landlord , pope
was severely - reprimanded, and theilexample
of his neighbor held up 'to him as always

Yes, yes," muttered Robert, " there are
sotheiwho are born with-their Mouth full of
money; Haim is very happy; but I am not
astonished that • a person can pay regularly
when e has such a pension as his."
"Hullins has a pension, it" is . true," re
plied Mr. Taylor s "but his infirmity, is a
heavy cross, and if you were afflicted with
it you would complain much more." •
" Not at all," replied Hope; :" if I had
been happy enough to lose a leg, as, he was,
it would have been . a famously productive
day for me. I would sell all my :limbs at
'the same price Samuel hail. no you call his

" I see," said he to Hope, " that you are
disposed to do nothing; very well, I can
free you from this necessity of working.,
which you think so grievous. You think
the cross of your neighbor Sa.tnuel' easy to
bear, do you? If you will accept of one
much lighter, I will engage to hold you quit
of your sent."
But what kind of a cross will you put
on me?" asked Robert uneasily, for he fear
ed that the proposition would not be 'ac
ceptable.
TRUMAN Sr, CO.
" Subh as this," • said Mr. Taylor, taking
a bit of chalk and tracing a white cross. on
Rober,t's coat; "as long as you wear this I
Will not ask you for your rent."
Hope thought at first that his landlord
was joking, but on being assured that he
was speaking seriously, he cried:
"2ly fit. George! you may be sure that
you have seen the last of my Money, for I
will carry such a cross all mylife!"
Robert soon left, congratulating himself
on his good luck, and all along the lead he•
laughed at the folly of Mr. Taylor in giving
up his rent so easily. He had never felt
happier in all his life than when he reached
home; he found fault with nothing; even
his dog came and sat down at his feet with
out being punished for his familiarity. As
he sat down on entering the house has wife
did not at first see the white cross he had
on his shoulder, but passingbehind her hus
hand to wind up the clock,.ahe cried out all
at once,, in a sharp voice: '
"Ahl good heavens,, Robert, where have
you been? You have cross a foot long on

" Get Offl" cried Hope, turning quickly
away; " my clothes have no need of you;
go and knit on your stockings, and let me
alone."
"That I will not I" said Mistress Hope in
a still sharper voice. "I do not wish my
husband to become the laughing stock of
the village, and if I tear your coat in pieces,
you shall not wear that ridiculous cross!"
So saying, the whole household endeav
ored to brush Robert's shoulder, and he,
.knowing that regatta:lce was useless, fled,
swearing and shutting the door violently. -
'," What a fury!" mini:eared he; "if she
-had been mom gentle I would have told her
•of my good luck, but she p not worthy of
knowing it." '

"he can serve as a sign for the inn" of -the

"I suppose," added the 'butcher, "that

• Hope felt that there was but one way to
escape their jokes, so be hastily left the
place, but not without calling them foolish
idlers. The cross began to weigh upon his
shoulders more than he had at first supposed
possible." '

a qatirrel broke out, and the fear

Robert pet out of, his house by his man.
Robert had left his own house intending
to 0 and look after some work. which had
been offered him in the neighboring village,
but his temper had beenso• ruffled by. the
old man Fox, Patty Stevens, the blacksmith,

that after all he should be more quiet there.

"Are , you not asha,med,..to come back as

neighbors have asked me if you have not

my apron over that cross."
So saying, Mistress Hope tried to gethold
of her husband's arm, but he rudely pushed
her back.' Mistress Hope, who was not
overburdened with patience, replied with a
blow, and the result was a regular fight be
tween the two, to the great scandal of the
neighbors who ran to separate them.
It is not necessary to say that everybody
decided against Robert, who at first braved

An Old Bachelor's Story.
lam an old bachelor, At sixty-five I can
say I shall never be anything else while I
live; but, like all other men—all I have ever
met, at least—l have loved, and hoped to
be happy with my chosen bride
That passion and those hopes faded forty
years ago. Sinde then I have - deux penance
for the hasty* act of one night; I have shun
ned the society of women, and forbade my
self the 'shadow ota hope' that I might
patch my tatteredXepes with new ones.
To none who knew me have' I ever fold
the tale. I should have been esteemed a
liar, or a Madman, and no one would will
ingly accept such a' reputation. Toiyou,
unknown reader, I dare recite the events of
those fourand-twenty hours—events which
turned my lifelnto its now well-worn chan
nel, and made me the lonely, hOpeless man
I am.
At the age of twenty-four T was 'clerk 'in
the establishment of Messrs. Carp' &
lawyers. I had energy apd ambition, op
portunity and health—everything, in fact,
that could be wished for by "a man who
hoped to tight his way up In the world and
win wealth and reputation.
I was engaged to a young lady by the
name of Grace Winter, a, pretty, delicate
creature, so quiet that her pet name, Snow
flake, seemed the Only one suitable•for her.
Her step was noiseless,ber movements soft,
hor voice. sweet and low. . She neverherselt
entertained a large company by ,her conver-,
sation, nor did any of those things that give
a woman 'the reputation for brilliancy; but
her mental powers were very line, and in a
tete-a-tete she was enchanting. A lady to the
heart's core—in my eyes at least—a• perfect
beauty, she - might have yet been forgotten
by most men in a room full of giggling,
chatting girls.
I adored her.' I had felt that her love
was a jewel worthy of 'an' emperor's wear,
ing, and. I'searcely dared to utter the words
that told her all I felt. Even now her high
bred reelerve kept me at a little distance. I
was protiof her. 'I felt unworthy of ler.
She was tonee the saint, whom 1 revered
and the being whom it was tdbe my delight
to cherish and protect until death should
part us. .
Six Months had passed, since she had
promiked to 'be mine. At the end of six
more she was to give me hor hand.. I had
a small sal nry,l bu t , my grandmother had - left
me a legacy which would enable us to go to:
housekeeping in 'plain but comfortable style,
and Grace was willing to fight life's battles
by my side,
Life seemed bright' and joyous to me on
that night of midwinter, forty.yeara ago,
when I walked through the city streets with
,Grace upon my arm,.andlOoking

she was.

" You were flirting=-almost making love

" She is the sort of woman with:Whom
den fall in love;" I said; " irresistible in
her manner, I've heard she makes conquests
everywhere. - I don't doubt
Grace looked at me with a ste n face—
white In the starlight as k marble statue.
" Other women are always jealous of
such women," I added.
"I am not jealous of her," she said. " I
would not be like her for a kingdom;' she is
a terrible woman; but since you admire :her
so, ybu are free to tell her so after you have'
seen me to my door."
"Grace!" I said.
• ,
"Miss Hunter, If you pleade, Mr. .11i1-4
therford," said she. - "'We have both 7narielt
a little mistake, easily rectified; that's all."'
I felt, as I stood looking at her, that the
effect of the wine upon me that I had drank
was attonger than I had thought, but I gave
no heed to the warning of my giddy' head
and rapid pulse.
" Just as you please," I said. " I should,
think that a jealous woman would curse
any man's life. I'll go now. Won."l , trouble
you longer. Good-bye." _ ;
We were not at the door of her home; we
were abort half a block' from it; but I turn
ed on my heel, then and there, and left her.
I staggered a little as I walked, and I. was
hot and angry: I made my way home and
without.undressing fell upon my bed and
dropped asleep.
In two hours I awakened, sober. I got
up and looked about me. The scenes of the
catalog recurred to me vividly. I saw how
blameworthy I had been, and a terrible grief
oppressed me. I put MY, head down upon
my hand and burst into bitter tears. I Thad
lost her, and with her all that made lirepre
cious. , Then hope dawned upon my soul.
1. would write to her; tell how; unused to
liquor as I-was, the wine had affected me.
I would tell her that to My sober self there
ea" "to - elk - had the the evening before. I
would draw the comparison I felt so keenly
between herself and that bold.eyed flirt. I
would pray for 'forgiveness, and she would
forgive me.
Springing to my feet I rushed to my desk. I
I drew, from it pen and paper. I wrote a
letter overflowing with remorse and tender
ness. I read it and re-read it. Then leav
ing it lyingon the spot where it was writ
ten, I stood at the •window waiting for the
tardy dawn, very jealous of the hours that
kept my missive from my darling.
I had put out my candle when I left my,
desk, and the room should have been dark,
but as I turned my head, after , a long and'
anxious reverie, 1 saw that it Was full of a
pale ,radiance like that of moonlight. It
startled me. . Whence did the light come-?
Had a miracle occurred? Had the moon
risen again?
Suddenly, inlaid this silvery light, appear
ed a still whiter radiance. It slowly took
form. A female figure, in white garrne,nts
so bright that they dazzled the eyes, stood
bending over my letter.
I remained motionless—to speak or 'stir
was out of my power—and gazed - on 'the
strange object with terrified intensity. The
figure seemed to turn the pages of my letter
with its transparent hand. I beard a gentle
sigh; then the head turned toward me, and
I saw a face I knew—the face that seemed
loveliest of all on earth to me, • endowed
with a mysterious divine beauty for which
no man could find words—the glorified face
of sweet Grace Hunter.
At the sight L burst the bonds which held
me—bonds as. tangible , as though I could
have seen them-L.-and rushed forward— I
strove to ,clasp my love, or her Ando*, in
my arms, -A shock, such as one might ex
perience from an electrical machine, flashed
through me, and I fell powerless to the
floor. - .
Irecoyered the day had dawned s
and under the pub morning sky the city
had awakened—but my day never dawned
again. My heart never awoke to life's
sweetness.
To end this story in a very few WOrds,
'Grace Hunter never reached her home that
night, and never was heard of again. The
family imagined that she had remained with
her friends, and were not anxious abonther.
I had left her within sight of her own door ,
and -why :she did not reach it I shall never
know. ',But Ido know that, in some woful
manner, she died that night, and that her
departing spirit paused in its flight to bid
me a long farewell. •

years of my existence, bin I 'fever shall

f , .The Last New Ghost.
A more, thoroughly - satisfactory ghost
than the one that has just made its appear
site° at Detroit is seldom met. In many re
spects it is an entirely new kind of ghost,
and its most impressive feats are quite un
paralleled in the history of specters. There
is a splendid future before this ghost, should
it court the curiosity and applause of the
multitude,. and if money is any object with
it, there is no difficulty whatever in theivay
of its acquiring a rapid fortune as an econ
omizer of coal. •
Its biography' up to the present time is
briefly as follows: A German, with the
wholly inexcusable "name of Augensblicke,
recently rented a house in Detroit. One
night a peculiar noise in theltitchen aroused
him, and vividly suggested either Me pres
ence of burglars or a surreptitious supper
party given by the cook to admiring police
men. De hastily descended to the kitchen,
but found it deserted. -A fire was blazing
brightly on the hearth, as though some, one
had made preparations for cooking midnight
sausages; • but on his approach the fie sud
denly vanished, leaving him in a state of
darkness and with chilly legs well adapted
to shake any but Teutonic nerves.' Ile re

pipes and much consecutive beer upon the
mystery. of the phantom fire, but could not
succeed in solving ft. The next night pre
cisely the game - series - of events took place,
and they were again repeated upon the third
night.
By. this time Mr. Augensblicke had be
come convinced' that no amount of beer
could solve the problem of the origin and
nature of.,the kitchen mystery, and that his
inner consciousness, -even When stimulated
by uninterrpted pipers, could not evolve the

is but one point in which the narrative of

to say whether the face which he saw in his

man. One of the Detroit journals, com
menting upon the, .ghost's remark con
cerning its bones, asserts that when the cel

animal, were exhumed and thrown away.—

which the ghost clamors, and that they

thus be a spectral quadruped , instead of a
disembodied Detroit ibliabitant. If so' it

Mr. Seward, living in a venal age, ltept him

swarm- of wire-pullers whose vulgar greed
was in staring contrast with his own lofty
ambition. 'lf he rivaled Pericles s in state

feasible to.attack hinilthiough the rapacity

Doubtless his intimacy with the inferior

manship on which the panegyric of Mr, Ad

his practical skill that he could work very

de'signe'd for partiSan purposes; yet his sur
roundings bred some grohndless anxiety or
distrust in the Chibago Presidential Conven

prize he well deserved.
In politics one must put up with dirty
tongs, and not be too dainty to work with
the tools at hand, though a trifle smirched.
A. man very fastidious regarding public hou s

' American politics, save of the highest class,
because tile qualities he most . reties on are
not those that people chiefly fancy. .lovi

with a statesman s duties than the ability or
inability of a race Worse to dance - a circus
jig has to do with his running races, is pop

desirable quality in a politician, and the
lack of it exposes him to Odium. To be so•

Photographic Ghosts
Photographers are acquainted with three
or four different ways in which secondary
images may appear in, photographs. In \the
first place, when a sensitive glass has served
its turn as a negative—ni many paper posi
tives as may be needed having been takeia
from it-the film of collodion or other pre
pared surface is removed from it, and it
may then be used for' a wholly new photo.
graph: flu 'is found that unless great
care be used dome faint-traces of the former
picture still remain, and these may appear
as a sort of, ghostly attendant upon the fig
ure forming the second picture. One pho
tographer in' endeavoring to utilize an old'
plate which had fulfilled its duty as a nega
tive, could not wholly erase the image, wash
or rub as he might; there was always a faint
ghost of the person accompanying any sub - -
sequel:it photograph taken on the same plate.
Dr. Phipson relates that a friend of his
reccivcd at Brussels kt box of glass,plates,
quite new and highly polished, each wrap
ped in a piece of newspaper. A lady sat
for her photograph, taken on one'ef - these
plates, and both the photographer and the
lady were astonished to i see that her likeness
was covered with printed characters, easily
to be'read—the ghost of a political article,
in fact. In this case actinic rays had done
their work before the ghiss was exposed to
the camera. By another mode of manipu
lation hphotographer may produce a ghost
like effect at will. 'A sitter is allowed to re
main in. the focus of the, camera one-half
the time necessary to produce. a - complete
photograph; he slips quickly aside, and the
furrliture - immediately behind him is then
exposed to the actionlof the light; as a con
sequence a faint or imperfectly developed
photograph of the man appears, transPa
'rent or translucent, for the furniture is vil
ble apparently'through his body OP- head.-- 1
With a little tact a ,really ?Surprising*llectl
may be produced iu this. way: 'As- u third,
variety, one negative may be placed in con
tact with another, and a.particular kind of
light allowed to pass thi•ough it for a time.
There results a double picture on the lower
negative.—Photographers' Jouniad.
Mr. John Ruskin, who is nothing If not

plain, how he got his fortune: "My father

beneficent partnership' with dbitain laborers
in Spain. The laborers produced from the
earth annually a certain, number of bottles

done to give the cheese. such an' unpleasan

4. No milk is good that comes from cows
dogged qr over-driven, from the pasture to'
the stable. a In this case there is not only a
falling off in quality bat also in quantity, no
patrons are' thereby made heavy- losers di
rectly, while the whole company loses in
reputation. We must learn that cows with
full udders cannot be raced with impunity,
and that dogs are a nuisance ,on a dairy
farm. We may remark in this connection
that the practice of scolding and - knoeking
the cows about by incompetent and brutal
milkers is not only'an act' of cruelty and
very bad policy pecunintily'to'.dgirymen,
but it also adds its mite to the injury of the
milk. ' -

the cans, and strain the morning's milk by

The question has often , been asked me,
"Is there any harm in feeding whey to
tl.nilleh cows ?" I have - always used my in=
enee against this practice, but have not
until lately seen any authority. Mr. X. AS..
Willard, doubtless the best authority in the
United States, in a long editorial in Moores
. 1
Rural .Mw Porker, makes a Srong argument
against the practice, both tis making the
in
milk very poor and also a i pairing the
health of the .coWs. ].le-give the analysis
of whey as, follows: Water, 6.12 i; butter,
.35; casein, .47; albumen, .37 milk, sugar,
4.54; lactic acid, .45; ash, .6 . ',Total, 140.
The butter is taken. off -befre 'feeding,
leaving only the casein which ' can in
any way enter the conlosition of the cheese;
so it will be

Regularity of the time of eating, has

Which Breed of Poultry Eats the Nest:
A curious poultry-keeper' -in Ohio, Isaac
Lynde byname, determined to find by act
ual experiment, which of all the different ,
breeds . payed the best, considering their
amount of food and producing capacity,
both na to eggs and flesh. His experiments,
as he relates them in the Poultry Mirld, ex
tended. over six months, and during that
time he kept the most accurate accounts.
On September 1 he took ten pullets of
each of the breeds mentioned below, about
six months old gave them a yard
~ forty 'feet
square, with a comfortable house," and _kept
an exact account of eggs and feed, as fol
lows:
The Dark Brabmas ate 3691 quarts of corgi,
oats, and wheat screening, laid 005 eggs, and
weighed 70,pounds. The Buff Cochins ate
400 quarts, laid 591 eggs, and weighed 13
pounds. The Gray Dorkings ate 8091 quarts,
laid 524 eggs, and weighed 591. pounds. The
Houdtins ate 2141 quarts, laid TO3 eggs, and
weighed 451 pounds, Arlie 'Leghorns ate
231 1-5 quarts, laid 806 eggs, and weighed
301 pounds.
make this experiment more complete, l l
and to show which lof gave the most profit,
including both eggs..and flesh, we have sup
posed the fowls.to be dressed and- sold at
the end of 'Si,: months at 20 emits per pound;
also that the eggs are worth 24 cents a doz
en,_(two cents each,) and, that the cost of
the feed was 21 cents per quart, or 80 cents
per bushel. • The figures would then be:
Cost Value Value Total Total
feed. eggs. meat. value.
.$ 022 $l2 10 $l4 00 $25 10 516 88
