THE TIMES, NEW liLOOM FIELD, PA., FEBRUARY 11, 1870. Ing her about the ueck, wept Joyfully upon her shoulder. " My dear 1" eald the lady, gratified, yet surprised. " Oh I you thought me a little top dlg ultlwl," paid Hose, half laughing. "But I was afraid that, If I yielded at all, I hould made a scene. And I recollected what I heard an English lady say, Never unbend before your servauts. It Is bettor to be too stately than too free with them.' You Bee, denr sister Meeta, lam growing fearfully worldly; Just now when I should bo more than ever desirous to be good, more than ever thankful to God for all the sunnhlne he lias poured over m;T path. Da you know I am so happy that I don't know what to do V" Mrs. Coolidge looked with eager, lialf iuixIoub questioning into the speaker's face. " My dear, don't keep me In sua. iense!" Blie said. But Rose no longer saw her. Her eyes were looking through the window, and down the avenue, fixed on a figure that came leisurely up toward the house; and Bhe certainly was not a white rone then, for her cheeks were glowing rid. " Have you seen him ?" asked Mis. Coolidge eagerly. " Yes," answered Hose, Intent on watching the advancing figure, and -only smilingly submitting to her friend's joyful embrace. Doctor Thayer did not seem In the least haste. He walked very moderate- iy, and even stopped a moment on the i terrace outside to admire the view. But ltose was not hurt nor impatient. Bhe 1 knew -'ll the feeling which, sure of i pleasure, postpones its enjoyment, there ' by multiplying it, or escaping the op pression of a too great and sudden hap piness. Bhe was willing that he should stand there an hour, if he liked, for she could see him, and he would be near I- her. "Has Miss Stanley arrived V" Bhe : heard him ask a Bervaut. A moment after he came in. The ' proud, fond look In his eyes would have - repaid '1m? r a thousand-fold had she boa ddsposed to consider herself iu any vwa-y-riighted. "By the way," he said, after a while, Vl I forgot that I am old enough to be your father. Did you know that I am twice your age ' I have gray hairs." She glanced gravely at his curling Jocks, In which, sure enough, there were faintly visible threads of silver. " They show that you have had troub le and hard work," she said, with tender earnestness. " I hope that I shall never wake your.hair turn white any faster. But I wish you would not work quite so Lard." He only smiled, waiting for her to peak again. Her artless, earnest ten derness captivated his fancy, while it touched him to the heart. " I have been thinking," she said, ' that if you still have any pride about the matter, and don't like to be any richer than you are, I could give my money all away, and we could live at the Cottage. I want to give tue sisters something; and there ia Meeta, and .many others. What do you gay to it y " Would you give up all, and make yourself poor my sake 1"' he asked, with . -emotion. "Certainly I would!" she replied, eeining surprised that he should think the question necessary. ' " I will then lay down all my pride father than lose you," he said fervently. " Nothing bhall ever again separate us. You are mine, raised from the grave it self for me, and 1 claim to hold you. I blush that 1 should ever have thought of money in connection with you, my darling. If I dare to take one so rich in youth and beauty, in goodness and in love, I may well forget the meaner ' riches of houses and lands." " I forgot to ask about Charles," said Rose presently. Charles V Oh, he and Lily are soon to be married." Doctor Thayer and Uose were married in September. There was no show or parade at their wedding, and they started immediately on a- short visit to JSngland. In two months they returned and took possession of the Hall. There is nowhere a happier couple, or one more respected and beloved. Indeed, Mra. Thayer is the idol, not only of the poor and sorrowful, whom she relieves And comforts, but of the larger social -circle of which she is so brilliant an or nament. This beautiful young matron proves what has often been doubted, that a woman may have an ardent piety in her heart, and yet be a fascinating And legant member of society ; and that there is no necessary connection be tween a long face and nasal voice and the love of God. It is only vice and meanness that find her forbidding, and , even the mean and vicious blush for themselves in her presence, and are bet tor for that unwonted feeling of shame. tS A Tie vote when both parties vote yes, and the preacher ties the knot. Insane Visitors at the White House. E VICHY now and then an Item is pub lished giving an account of the antics of some crascy person who finds his or her way to the White House. Not half the calls of people of this class at the Executive Mansion are recorded. The visits are almost the daily rule rath er than the exception. Among these Is an old gentleman who lives a short dlstnnceout In the country, near Bladenshurg. He wears a large soft hat, salt and pepper pants, and a short black coat. His eyes are blue and mild, with nothing wild about them, and his hair Is gray. 116 calls regularly once in every two months. Being asked what ho wants he re plies : I have come to take my seat." He then tells how he was regularly elected President, and would have come to enter upon his duties Booner, but work on his farm prevented him leav ing home. The ushers talk to him se riously about the matter, and as a gen eral thing he soon leaves perfectly But lsfled. A man comes down here from Penn sylvania about five times a year. He is about thirty-five years old and dresses neatly and comfortably. He demands to see the President. The Treasury and White House have been deeded to him. The lust time he called he wore a pair of badly used up shoes, and got slightly noisy. When put outside the door he said : " I will Bubmit this time, as I do not wish to make Hayes houseless ; but the next time I come I want no foolishness. I want him to move out promptly. I hate to bo so" hard), but my shoes are wearing out, and I must have my rights. Just tell him how the case stands." A woman from Maine walked In one day, in a dress like that of a Quaker. She stalked into the East room, and spreading a huge Bible which she car ried under her arm on one of the win dow seats mi nouueed her text and be gan in a loud voice to hold forth on the necessity of being born again. A man from Ohio called a few days ago. He had a theory that the world was coming to an end in a few days, if he was not made superintendent of the Naval Observatory, In view that he might, by his knowledge of astronomy,' avert the impending collision of the earth with all the other planets. He was promised the position and left sat isfied. A raw-boned fellow from Maine Is seen no more at the White House. He used to be a regular visitor. He would walk in every morning, walk up to one of the ushers and hand him a letter. The letters were addressed to " U. B. Hayes, from Ohio, President of the United States, U. 8. of America, Western Continent, White House, Dis trict of Columbia." These letters were always opened, but such scrawls that no one could read them. This probably suited the man exactly, as all he seemed to want was to deliver the letters promptly at nine every morning. The " goddess of liberty just Btepped down from the dome of the Capitol" has already been Introduced to the readers of the " Star." She came back the other week and being refused admit tance to the President's room, threaten ed to bring down her " reserves." These consisted, she said, of all the statues in the old Hall of Representativea and that of Columbus in the east front of the Capitol and of the group of the back woodsman and Indian fighting. A bard looking male customer he was about forty years old came in one morning. " I am the man," he said in a roar, " who closed the Rebellion. It is a matter of necessity that I ehould see the President." He was told the President did not re ceive visitors at the White House. He saw every one who called at 414 Tenth street. This is the number of the o lice station on that street. The man went promptly to No. 414 Tenth street and took a seat. After Bitting there a while the keeper asked him what he wanted. " " Oh 1" he said, " I have just called to see the President." The keeper took in the situation at a glance, and, eayiug, " step this way," conducted the visitor into one of the cells. As he turned the key in the lock the man inside said : "If the President comes just show him right in, will you V" " Certainly," Baid tho keeper, and went back to his desk. Washington iSVar. Feels Young Again. " My mother was aflllcted a long time witn Neuralgia and a dull, heavy luuo- tive condlton of the wholesystem ; head ache, nervous prostration, and was al most helpless. No physician or medi- cine did her any good. Three months ago she began to use Hop Bitters, with such good enects mat she seems aud feels younK!aEaln, althouuh over 70 vearanlil. We think there is no other medicine fit to use in the family." A lady, Provi denoe, It. I. o lit A Banker's Story. A BANKER at Paris gave an elegnnt feast to his friends, ami after the feast gave a brief account of his early life, suggested by a large ugly pin In his napkin. He was a poor boy, and one day found a large pin used by girls to fasten ribbons at the neck. ' Boon he met a girl who w as In trouble, because she had lost just such a pin. The sequel follows : "There Is another for you," said the boy, good naturedly, giving her the one he had found. Bhe seized it hastily, and with great delight. "Now 1 shall not be beaten," she ex claimed. She now remarked how the boy was gnawing at hiscrust, and said, "1 have got an apple In my pocket, will you have It?" It is a very good one, 1 have bitten It already." Instead of making any reply, the beggar-boy Boon put his teeth into the apple which she handed to him, and went his way. A few weeks after he returned to that village, as it was then fair-time. He met the little girl again, who at once recognized her benefactor. Bhe perceived directly how hungry he was; she put her hand Into her pocket, but to-day there were no apples there, and Bhe wanted very much to give him something. Fortunately she had received a few packets of needles and plus as a present from her grandmother, who kept a little stall at the fair. Bhe gave the boy one of these packets, and said, "Sell these needles; you can buy apples and cakes for the money." A bright idea came now into the boy's head ; he returned with the needles to bis own village, and sold them there to the peasant women. But he did not go and spend foolishly tho money which he received, but went and bought some fresh needles, and soon Bet up as u regular hawker, carrying about a little tin box on his back, in w hich were buckles, thimbles, buttons, thread and needles of all kinds. Through wind and weather, through shower and heat, he wandered from villuge to village, journeying thus through the whole of Frauce and when ho was twenty, he opened a little shop in one of the suburbs of Paris. He traded in everything which could bring him any profit, and his speculative head always hit upon the right sort of article. At thirty years of age he possessed one hundred thousand francs; the half of this he invested at the Exclianire. He was fortunate in his calculations, and in a few years' time he became very rich. Now he thought of the pin which he had found when he was a little vaga bond, and of the little black-eyed girl whom, by means of this pin, he had saved from a beating. He traveled to the village where he then had begged : he was curious to know what had be come of the girl who by her gift of the packet of needles, had first aroused in him the spirit of commerce. She had grown into a good, fine-look ing woman not very young, perhaps for she already reckoned thirty .sum mers. But as yet she had no suitor, because Bhe was poor. The Parisian banker sought for her, and said, in a short manner, "Young woman, I have a million of francs property ; will you marry me 1"' The girl turned pale and red, and stuttered out at last, "Sir, I think you have come to make fun of me." But ho now said, seriously, "Do you not remember the beggar boy with the pinV" "O certainly," she said, eagerly, "I see him before me now ; how ravenous ly he bit the apple which I had already bitten, with his white teeth. The stranger replied, smilingly, "I was that beggar-boy ; out of the heart of that apple grew up my good fortune. Will you share it, and be my wife V" The answer was a joyful " Yes." The wedding took place In the village. The banker was silent and looked af fectionately at his wife, who blushed very deeply. " Yes, gentleman," he ex claimed, " the beggar-boy not only be came rich, but happy. God has reward ed him greatly for that one little kind action. And, gentlemen, I am the for mer vagabond, and my good wire op posite is the little girl I found weeping ; and this is the pin I found upon the ground." It Wasn't Her Hair at All. 7 ESTERD A Y afternoon a couple of X gentlemen were walking down Main street,aud a lady with one of those pitch-forward hats was walking ahead of them a few feet. Said one of the gents, "Did you see hair put up that way before V" "Upon my word I never did. It's enough to spoil the best hair in the trade." "And then the color why, it's entire ly off style. "Weut out of fashion two years ago." The lady ahead looked mad enough to eat c a lire plug. 'And Just think of charging $7 for a :of halrllke that." lot "If I had It In my Btore I wouldn't get rid of it In five years unless some inatio came along." It can't Cost less thau three hours' work each day to keen the miserable tousle In order. The woman's husband that-" And then that lady In front turned around with fire and fury In her eyes: "You miserable puppies I'd just thank you to let my hair alone. If vou dare to say another word I'll scream Police," and have you arrested." As soon as the irentleman recovered breath thePlttstou man exclaimed: "Your hair, madam I your hair I" "Yes, my hair. You Just keep your mpudent tongue ofFlt." "I positively declare neither of us saw you or your hair." 'Then what were you talking about for?" "Talking about It ! We were not even thinking about it." "Then what were you talking about n that contemptible style V "Why madam. I do business In this town, and this gentleman deals in hair n bcranton, and we were conversing about n lot of hair we saw together In nlladelphla yesterday, and on which the dealer tried to cheat him." "And Is that all 1" "Upon my honor that Is all V" The ludy looked a little mollified, but remarked with a rather scornful accent: "It may be bo, but I don't believe one word of It." And she sailed oft with her nose well ipinthe air, while the two greatly itartled gentlemen Btenned Into the National House for something to steady tneir astonished nerves. Was it a Retail Store ? HE HAD on a coat of remarkably open countenance behind, with a comfortable absence of sleeve as far up as the elbow, pants of Bomewhat scat tered texture, and a chip-hat with a pyphon-like lock trailing from a crack In the crown. He was from away back. He walked hesitatingly Into one of the Union street bazars that flung a million or two yards of fabrics to the dustv breeze in front. "What can I do for your-" asked a polite clerk, disengaging himself from a bevy of shopping ladies. " O nothln' pertikler. Just go on waiting on them gals," and he shyly fumbled a bundle under his arm. "The ladles are through purchasing, and I am ready to attend to your wants." The gentleman from afar glanced all around the glittering emporium In a dazed sort of way, but took his time about speaking. Finally he Inquired : " Is this here a retail Btore V" " It is," answered the clerk. " And you retail all sorts of things here, do you V" " Why, yes ; we keep a general stock of goods here, and sell them lower than the lowest." ; " You ain't foollu' me, are you This here is a bu re enough place where they retail things V" " Certainly, my friend," answered the clerk, losing patience, " What do you want to get?" " Well.ef this yere's a retail Btore," said the man of the flowing lock, look ing decidedly awkward as a number of ladies drifted up close to him" ef this yere Is a retail store, I jes lowed I'd fetch this old shirt o' mine and get you toretaillt. Thatthar bosom's a rale stun ner to last; It's done wore three sets o' tails no, and I jest thought ef this yere was a retail Btore I'd just get you to re tail her agin." Scattered ladles and a red-faced clerk. Bribed by a Kiss. A temperance lecturer who has been at work in the towns up the Hudson has been giving the reporter of the Kingston Courier a page from his early experience in Michigan. Previous to his arrival in a small town where he in tended to do some work, the boys agreed among themselves to go up to the meeting, but not to sign the pledge. He appealed in vain for recruits in the temperance cause. Not a man would move. At this stage of the proceedings the belle of the town sprang to her feet and cried out: " Boys, this is too bad Won't you sign the pledge?" Not a soul - moved from his feet. Again the fair belle appealed to the men's better na ture, but it was of no avail ; they had promised tliey wouldn't sign. Finally the lady said. "Boys, I'll kiss tho first man who signs the pledge." At this Juncture up lumped a tall back woodsman and drawlingly exclaimed: "Blss, I'm your huckleberry. Whar's yerpledgei1" The brave girl kissed the fellow, and the cheering which followed made the building rattle. This incident broke the ice, and before the reformer had left the town nearly every one had donned the ribbons. DIt.
