Ho Took The Old Man's Advice.
WINNIFRED was a dallrty bit of
womankind a sunbeam who
laughed much as a brown linnet sings;
moreover, there were dimples lurking
In her rose-tinted cheeks.
She was well worth loving, although
not quite an angel, for If she had been,
she would not have been a woman, yet
she certainly was a thief.
A thief 1 Stealing hearts by the whole
sale. But she whoso ldved to coquette with
hearts was at last taken captive ; for
love conquered the merriest and most
mischievous maiden whoever laughed at
his wiles; and love came to Wlnnlfred,
now, bI tuple and delicious.
No two love-makings happen in Just
the same way, as no two leaves are alike
on the same tree.
One day it happened that two grey
eyes looked Into hers the merest acci
dent, of course.
It was the first time that he had call
ed her by her first name ; and there was
something In the look of those gray eyes
which sent the warm blood to her
cheeks and caused a tumult of emotion
it seemed to her like the finding of a
buuch of violets In mld-wlnter.
" He loves me," she thought, with a
thrill of delight quite unlike former
experiences,
"Wlnnlfred," he said tenderly, "you
are very dear to me, I have loved you
devotedly all these years," and he wait
ed for a reply.
"And I love you, Tom but "
" Oh I let there be no buta. You will
love me, Winnie, darling, let who will
oppose, will you not?"
" Yes, Tom till I die," she said, her
face all aglow with eagerness.
Then she paused abruptly. Now, Tom
was only a clerk, with nothing but his
salary to depend upon rich in nothing
but honesty and good humor; while
her father was wealthy.
" I fear my father will not favor our
love," she continued, with some embar
rassment ; " but I ought to choose for
myself it is my right."
The gray eyes softened. For the first
time In his life Tom bad told a woman
thai he loved her, and had found the
telling pleasant. He told her, too, that
he had not much to oiler. Would she
be content with a humble home shared
with a loyal heart with love, Instead
of luxury y
Yes, she would be "quite coutent."
For a time these two sat with clasped
hands in a dreamy silence, which yet
was not silence. Winnie's heart was
full to the brim the tell-tale color of her
cheeks the sweet confusion In her eyes,
were utterances more potent than
words.
Then there ensued a quiet, rational
talk about their prospects, and best way
to " manage father."
Thomas Lane was a successful mer
chant blesssd with "full and plenty"
yet he had a vexation. It was one
trouble of his life bow to snub and cir
cumvent a brother merchant,not meanly
or maliciously, but good-hutnoredly.
Joslah Wright, with a "dog-ln-the-maifger"
disposition, had always been
jealous of his old friend and neighbor's
unexampled prosperity, and he had
kept up a series of petty annoyances
against Thomas Lane.
That day Mr. Lane had heard some
disparaging remark made by "Old Josl
ah," as he was wont to call him, and he
was brooding over It as he eat tilted back
in his chair in his private office, when
Tom, his confidential clerk and "right
band man" unexpectedly entered.
" Glad you came, Tom," he exclaim
ed, "for I'm just a bit lonely. Been up
to the house, but couldn't stay ; daugh
ter's gone for the season to Aunt
Mercy's; mean to take a run down
there myself next week ; and, Tom, now
that I think of it, you must take a run
up to Saratoga at my expense. I've
noticed that you have been mopish of
late, and it will drive away the blues to
get among gay people. I don't like to
see you out of sorts,' "
"You are very kind, sir," Tom re
plied. "Pooh, pooh 1 Nothing of the sort.
It's Blm pie justice. Come, come, don't
look so dismal. Is anything going
wrong t Just as likely as not some
pretty damsel has captured your heart."
And the klndly-natured merchant
rubbed his hands together, and glanced
inquiringly at his favorite clerk, who
stood, looking conscious and sheepish,
twisting his fingers nervously.
" Well, sir," he replied, "I believe
that is just the trouble."
A prolonged whistle and merry
twinkle In his eyes expressed the mer
chant's astonishment, 'for after all it
was but a random gness.
"And so you want to marry, and
settle down in life, and have your salary
raised hey J"'
"Yes, sir; that's about It.'1 '
"A little bird has told me, you sly
dog, that you are looking after Marjorle
Wright. She's a pretty girl, and worth
a plum or two. You couldn't do better
Tom."
"But, sir, my dear girl's father Is
opposed to me. Why, I'm only a poor
clerk, aud she is an heiress."
"Opposed, Is he V I should like to
know what objection he can have to
yout You love the glrlr"'
"With all my heart, sir."
" And she loves you J"'
" Devotedly."
" Then, with love In the home, and
old Joslah 's money to run It, it might
do. Yes, yes, it would do admira
bly." And the old gentleman laughed heart
ily at the idea, and then inquired what
he meant to do about It.
"I must wait until her futher con
sents, I suppose," replied Tom, ruefully.
" But what would you advise me to do,
sirr"'
"DoV Why, I know what I'd do If I
were young liksfyou and loved a pretty
girl. I'd try aud win her in spite of all
the fathers In the world. If she was
willing to take me, I'd brave the old
man's displeasure and run off and get
married."
" But, my dear Mr. Lane, I fear that
he. would never forgive his daughter,
and that would break her heart."
"Pooh, pooh I Girls' hearts are not as
easily broken as you Imagine. What
fun it will be to have old Josiah fret
and fume aud then come around right
as he will, my boy, never fear. No, no,
Tom, you go ahead, and I'll furnish all
the money you will need ; and if the old
man is cross With pretty Marjorle, I'll
take care that neither of you starve, If
it's only to spite the old curmudgeon."
" Oh, thank you sir. With your per
mission, then, I will try to win her."
" All right, my boy. 1 don't forget
that I was once young; and mind, when
the knot Is tied fast, you can come to
my house and have it all to your two
selves until old Joslah sends for you."
"Well, Mr. Lane, I'll think the mat
ter over. Meanwhile I'll accept your
kind oiler and go to Saratoga for a few
days," said Tom, as he smilingly left
the ofllce.
" Too tame by half but young men
now-a-days have very little spirit,"
muttered the merchant as he started for
his solitary home.
Three days later, Mr. Lane had occa
sion to change his opinion of Tom's
tameness, for he received an unexpected
letter.
Fortunately he was alone there was
no one to witness the mingled feelings
of astonishment and chagrin he experi
enced while reading it:
"SARATOGA.
"Dear Sir: You were misinformed
in regard to Marjorle Wright, for I have
uever thought of her as a wife. It is
your daughter Wlnnlfred, whom I have
loved ever since I came to you a mere
boy. Winnie and myself were married
this morning, and we Bhall be the hap
piest couple in the United States, when
we receive your forgiving welcome.
" Aunt Mercy accompanied us here,
and now we are anxiously waiting to
hear from you.
Your grateful son, Tom Allen."
"Soldi and no mistake," exclaimed
Mr. Lane, half-angrily. " But, what's
the use V Tom Is a good fellow sharp
too sharp as a needle -good business
talent ha 1 ha 1 and better, yes, Incom
parably better than the rest of the
danglers; and Winne little puss she
loves him" and then there came to his
old heart far off memories of the girl's
dead mother ; and brushing away a tear,
worth more than any diamond he pos
sessed, he snatched a pen and hastily
wrote the following
" My grateful son is a scamp 1 But I
forgive you, Tom, notwithstanding for
if Winnie Jflnds something in you to
love, you can't be so very wicked. But,
my boy, the tables are turned, you know,
and it won't do to let old Josiah crow
over us. I'll run up to Saratoga, and
we'll all come home together, and he
will be none the wiser. As I am oppos
ed to my daughter's husband being a
poor clerk, I shall tale measures at once
to make you my partner. Henceforth
the firm will be known as Lane and
Allen. Your affectionate father,
Thomas Lane."
Tom and Wlnnlfred might as well
have asked and obtained the old gentle
man's consent but then, young people
must have their romance.
That Tow-Headed Boy.
A very learned Bishop was catechiz
ing a Sunday school class. One of the
questions "Who made the world" was
answered correctly. Then the good
bishop tried to make it plain to the
children. "Yes, children God made
the sun, and moon and stars, he made
the trees, and birds and fishes, he made
everything and made it out of nothing,
and children he can do everything."
Among the children there was a tow
haired boy of about seven years, who
was listening to every word the Bishop
said. When he said "he can do every,
thing" the little tow-head jumped up
and held out bis hand.
"What do you want to say my son,
speuK ouir" saiu me uisuop,
"You said God could do
everything,
and I know be can't."
" What can't he do my son t"
" He can't make a stone twice as big
as he can lift."
And the good Bishop agreed with the
boy.
Southern Independence.
The Natchea (Miss.) "Democrat"
draws the following picture of the
Southern farmer:
Hallo, stranger, you seem to be
going to market 1
Yes, sir", I am.
What are you carrying that plow
along for y
Going to send it to Pittsburg.
To Pittsburg, In Pennsylvania V
You're mighty right, I am.
What are you going to do that for t
To get It sharpened.
All the way to Pittsburg to get it
sharpened V
You bet I We've starved our black
smith out. He pulled up stakes tbe
other day and went to Texas.
Well, that's rather a novel idea, my
friend sending a plow so far to get It
sharpened.
Not so novel as you heard it was. We
do our milling lu St. Louis.
Is that so V
You are right It is. We used to have
a mill at Punklnvllle creek, but the
owner got too poor to keep It up, and so
we turned to get our grinding done in
St. Louis, Missouri.
Do you mean to say you send your
grist all tbe way to St . Louis by rail.
I didn't say nothing about grist we
hain't got no grist to send. But we get
our flour and meal from St. Louis.
I see you have a hide in your wagon.
Yes, our old cow died last week.
March winds blowed the life out'n her.
Sendln' the hide to Boston to get it
tanned.
All the way to Boston ?
Yes, sir.
Is not that expensive, my friend 'i
The freight will more than eat the hide
up.
That's a fact cleaner than the buz
zards did the old critter's carcass. But
what's the use being taxed to build rail
roads, 'thought you get .the good of
'em V Used to have a tanyard over at
Llcksklllet, and a shoe shop too. But
they keoflummuxed.
Kerflummuxed what is the meaning
ofthatV
It means gone up a spout and 'twlxt
me and you that's mighty nigh the case
with our State.
When do you expect to get your
leather V
Don't expect to get no leather at all
expect to get shoes some day made at
Boston or thereabout.
Bather a misfortune to loose a milk
cow f
Not so much of a misfortune as you
heard it was. Monstrous sight of shuck
in' aud nubbins In a cow, and milking
night and morning and gettln' only
'bout three quarts a day.
What are you going to do for milk f
Send North for It.
Send Noth for milk '
Yes, concentrated milk and Goshen
butter.
Oh 1 I see the point.
Mighty handy things, these railroads
make them Yankee fellers do all our
jobs fos us now do our smithln' and
grlndln' and milkln and churnln'.
Yes, we go our bottom nickel on cot
ton. Sending it up to Massachusetts to
get carded, spun and wove. They'll
come when we'll send it there to be gin
ned, then we will be happy. Monstrous
sight of trouble running these gins.
That wonld be rather expensive, send
ing cotton to seed.
No more than the western fellars pay
when they send corn East and get a dol
lar a bushel and pay sl bits freight.
Besides, as I said, what is the use of
paying for railroads 'thought we use the
road.
You seem to appreciate railroads.
I think we ought we pay enough for
'em.
I reckon you fatten your own pork.
Well, you reckon wrong, stranger. I
get them 1111 noy fellers to do that for
me. It's mighty convenient, too, mon
strous sight of trouble toting a basket
full of corn three times a day ta hogs in
a pen, especially when you hain't got
none to tate to it.
I should think so.
There's one thing lacking though to
make the business complete.
What's that V
They ought to send them hogs cook
ed. Cookln' and preparln' wood for
cookin' takes up a heap of time that
ought by right be employed in the cot
ton patch. I was sayln' to my old
woman tother day, if we Mississippi
folksgot our cookln' aud washin' done
up North and sent by express, we would
be as happy as office-holders.
Your horse in the lead there seems to
be lame.
Yes, needs shoein'. If he wasn't the
only horse I had, and could spare him,
I'd send him up where they makes shoes
and nails and get blm shod. Can't get
such a thing done in these parts. Per
haps I can at the depot.
How do you manage to live In your
parts, my old friend t
Why, we raise cotton. My roads turns
off here, stranger. Gee, back Brandy.
I am glad I seed you, stranger.
A New Peril of the Deep.
The Rotterdam steamship P. Caland,
which arrived at New York not long
since, brought Captain Larsen and elev
en men, the crew of the Norwegian
bark Columbia, which was sunk Sep
tember 4th on the voyage from London
to Quebec In the following remarkable
circumstances: Tbe bark was sailing
at the rate of shout six miles an hour
before a light northeast wind under a
clear sky. The time was 11 A. M., Sep
tember 4, the place latitude 47 longitude
43, which Is off the Grand Banks of
Newfoundland. Suddenly the ship was
stopped as If she had struck a rock and
the crew were thrown off their feet.
Captain Larsen says he thought at first
that the Columbia bad run into a sunk
en vessel or a heavy piece of floating
timber, but on looking over the guards
he discovered about sixty feet of white
belly of some sort of sea monster lying
almost motionless by the ship's side,
while the surrounding water was deeply
tinged with blood. He could not see
enough of the creature to make out
whether it was an Immense sword-fish;
a whale, the legendary sea-serpent or
some other unheard of terror of the
deep. A minute examination of the
creature was prevented by the cry raised
by some of the crew that the ship was
rapidly filling. The captain hurried
below and found that the blow had been
received "end on." tbe entire bow of the
ship had been stove in and that founder
ing was inevitable. The crew had barely
time to launch the two long-boats and
get away with a stock of provisions and
a short supply of water when the
Columbia went down head foremost.
About 2 P. M. of the same day the crew
were picked up by the P. Caland. The
Columbia was an. old ship, but about
two years ago was put on the stocks and
thoroughly replanked. Her bow was
made of solid 41 Inch oak planking.
The captain said to the reporter that
the only case of a ship's collision with a
sea monster he had previously heard of
was a legend of the early Dutch voya
gers to the East Indies. One of these
Dutch ships struck violently on an
object one day in the open sea not far
from the island of St. Helena, and the
crew saw the water around the ship
covered with blood. The ship, however,
did not sink, and after her return from
India it was lound In overhauling ber
that a piece of horny substance, proba
bly a sword-fish's sword, was sticking
into her bow. " This, however," added
tbe captain, " I have always before this
regarded as a myth."
It will be remembered that in the fall
of 1876 the Cunarder Scythia Just after
leaving the harbor of Queenstown was
disabled by breaking her propeller on a
whale.
It will be remembered also that the
half-sunken schooner Waldoboro has
been drifting for the last eight months
towards the Great Banks. If it were
not for the blood of the sea monster and
his white belly, the Waldoboro might
be reckoned as an agent in this last
mishap.
Appalling Salubrity.
A young gentleman and his blushing
bride, who were recently married in
Philadelphia, called the next week at an
apartment-house and were shown the
flat that was to let by the loquacious
person who officiates as janitor. This
estimable woman, who would appear to
be a good motherly soul, went on to
illustrate how very healthy the house
happened to be. " There was Mrs.
on the first floor; she came here a bride
and went away with three children, as
pretty little things as, ever I saw, mem.
And there was Mrs. , the second
who had a little son born to her here,
mem, and fourteen months after a little
daughter. And, mem, Mrs. , the
third floor, she was a bride, too, mem,
and it was twins, mem, within a year.
If you please, mem, I am the mother of
four of the darlingest"
" Thanks," said the bridegroom, from
whom I gleaned this interesting anec
dote ; "after all, I thiuk it would be
better to go a little further up town.
And he led the bride "blushing again"
into the open air and out of the
healthy neighborhood.

They often impel us to say the un
klndest things to those who are dearest
