McPHERSON'S TROUBLES.
IN THE town of Lynn nearly every
man Is a shoemaker. ' At any rate I
will Bay, In almost all the little houses
somebody Is at work either binding
shoes, hammering soles, making heels
or stitching uppers. And among them,
many years ago, none could have been
found more busy and more contented
than a quiet, red-haired Scotchman,
called Bandy McPherson. He .lived
alone, being either a bachelor, or a wld
ower probably the first In a little two
roomed house on wheels, and whenever
the owner of the ground on which he
established his residence asked awkward
questions or demanded rent, he simply
wheeled his mansion away. Thus he
spent next to nothing, and though he
did not make much money, he saved the
best part of what he made.
He had lived several years In his quiet
way when one day there appeared in the
village a tall, serious gentleman In a
black coat and inquiring diligently for
Mr. Alexander McPherson, soon discov
ered the object of his search In simple
Handy McPherson, hammering away at
his bench, and thus addressed him :
" Sir, I am one of the firm of Dunn &
Derry, lawyers, and I bring you the sad
news that your uncle Mr. Donald Mc
Pherson has departed this life."
Bandy laid down his lap-stone, shook
his head, and gravely remarked :
" I never thought Uncle Donald was a
long-lived man." And thinking his
duty done, set to work again. But once
more the lawyer spoke:
" And it is also my pleasant duty Mr.
McPherson, to inform you, that your
uncle Donald has left you a legacy
amounting to five thousand dollars,
which after the necessary formalities,
our firm will take treasure in paying in
to your hands."
Bandy put down his work again, look
ed at the lawyer, and after a pause re
marked :
" It was weel meant of Uncle Donald,
and you mean weel to me In telling me
of It, but it will be aye dreadful trouble
spending sio a Bum."
The lawyer laughed ; he thought his'
client intended a Joke, but Bandy was in
sober earnest. Having received the nec
essary instructions he shut up his little
house, fastened the doors and shutters
well, stored it with an old farmer Just
out of town and went to get his money.
For three years no one in Lynn saw or
heard anything of him, but at the end
of that time Mr. Gage, the farmer with
whom Bandy had left his house, was
surprised by his re-appearance in a good
suit of clothes, with a very red face and
a very portly person to claim his house
again.
" I'm glad to get back," he said. " I
have had hard work to spend my five
thousand dollars, and I could na do it
without eating and drinking more than
wasayegude for me; but I've lived
through it, and maybe I'm no the worse
for a bit o' holiday.
And once more the door of the little
wheeled house stood open, and Bandy
McPherson worked beside It from dawn
until sunset.
Two years passed. At the end of that
time the village gossips once more saw
the tall, spare form of the member of
Dunn & Derry in the streets of the little
town. This time he made no inquiries,
but walked to the door of Bandy's house
and knocked.
"Come in," cried the shoemaker, and
in walked the lawyer.
" Oh 1 and it is you, Mr. Dunn V"
cried Bandy, " Bit ye doon mon ; and
what new news hae ye for me V"
" Much the same as before, Mr. Mc
Pherson," replied the lawyer. "Your
Uncle Duncan has left this world for a
better."
" Aye, I saw the old man was failing"
said Bandy.
His property," continued the lawyer
" has been equally divided amongst his
four nephews ; and your share, my dear
sir, I am happy to tell you, amounts to
two .thousand pounds, or if you like the
sound better, ten thousand dollars."
" That's twice as much as Uncle Don
ald left me," sighed Bandy. "Twill be
hard work spending it. The five thou
sand nearly killed me, but a' is as God
will, If it's come on me. I'll be with
you to-morrow morning, sir. Sooner
begun, sooner done."
Again the little house was stored away
behind the barn of Mr. Gage's farm ;
but this time the farmer having died in
Bandy's absence the bargain was made
with the Widow Gage, a comely woman
of forty, who gave Sandy some good
advice on the subject or bis fortune,
which he received in silence. Away he
went.and for three years Lynn saw him
no more ; but when another year was
on its way the wonder-stricken inhabit
ants saw Bandy again at his bench. But
Sandy was an altered man. He had
grown fat, his eyes were red and watery,
his nose the shape of an onion, he had
the symptoms of the gout, end as he
worked be made his plaint to any one
who would listen to him.
"Ah ! you may laugh none of you
have tried it spending ten thousand
dollars in three years is hard work for
any man. And I made a mistake. I
begun wl' whiskey. When I took to
port wine I got on faster. It's line wine
the port wine, ou, aye, but you can hae
too much of It. It's put me almost past
the work." ..
However, five years of oatmeal por
ridge, bacou and weak tea, with hard
work, reduced Bandy to his former con
dltion of skin and bone. Ills health
was good, his eye was clear, and he was
more contented than ever, until one day
through the streets of Lynn walked
once more the tall, grave, Berlous gentle
man from the firm of Dunn & Derry.'
This time Lynn was actually excited,
and as the lawyer entered the door
Bandy turned upon him a face longer,
more solemn than he had ever shown
before, and cried out !
" Mr. Dunn again ! Weel put with
It, mon 1 Bad news I suppose V"
" Yes sir," replied the lawyer. "Your
Aunt Jean Is dead. She departed this
life very suddenly. It was a shock to
all the family."
" Aye ; I thought Aunt Jean would
live to be a hundred," sold Bandy.
" Bo did she ; but she had made her
will notwithstanding, and as you were
her favorite nephew, she has left every
farthing to you. Sir, I must congratu
late you."
" Don't do that mon," said Sandy.
" You mean weel, but it adding Insult
to Injury. Let me known the worst.
She must hae been an unco rich woman
my Aunt Jean."
" You are now possessed of more than
fifty thousand dollars," replied the law
yer. " Indeed, coolly as you take It, I
should like to BtanJ in your Bhoes, Mr.
McPherBou."
"Ah, weel," replied Sandy, "you
may call it cool, but I feel pretty warm.
How is a man ever to spend feefty thou
sand dollars V"
The lawyer departed laughing. In an
hour Bandy stood before old Mrs. Gage's
dooryard.
" I'm In trouble again Mrs. Gage,"
said he. " My Aunt Jean is dead. Oh,
no, 'tlsn't that ; we must all die some
day, but she's left me her money, and I
have feefty thousand dollars to spend,"
" I wish I hud," said the farmer's
widow, whose hair was gradually grow
lng gray under the weight of a thousand
dollar mortgage. "It's flying in the
face of Provldence.to talk that way of a
fine fortune."
"But how is a mon to spend it V"
continued Sandy. " I couldn't get
through the ten thousand wi'out lnakin'
a beast of myself, and feefty thousand
at my age will be the end of me. What
is a single mon like me to do wl' it
any
" Oh, there are plenty of wa'yB, Mr.
McPherson," Bald the farmer's widow.
" You could be benevolent."
" I'll never give good money to beg
gars ; let them work for their bread,"
said Sandy. " Ah 1 you dinna know,
Mrs. Gage. A mon can eat but five
meals the day If he does his best, and to
be aye drinking is all that is left."
" Dear, dear 1 what a pity it is you
haven't a good, sensible wife to show
you how to use your money," said Mrs.
Gage. " You'd find no trouble then."
" But, you. see I'm a bachelor," said
Sandy.
" You needn't remain one," replied
Mrs. Gage.
" And who would I marry J"' asked
Sandy.
" It's not for me to say," replied Mrs.
Gage. " Some sensible, middle-aged
woman, Mr. McPherson."
"I wonder would you have me V" ask
ed Sandy. "You're a very sensible
woman, Mrs. Gage, it strikes me I
couldn't do better ; hut I hope - you'll
drink your share."
Mrs. Gage held her peace and Lynn
was surprised by a wedding the next
week. The mortgage was paid off ; the
boys sent to college ; the farm prospered.
Mrs. McPherson and Bandy appeared
each Bunday at church in black silk and
broadcloth, and Sandy still made shoes
in the little house, now wheeled perma
nently to the kitchen door, up to the
last accounts received of him. As for
his money, he seems to forget that a
married man is any more comfortable
than a bachelor, and adds : "I didn't
know it until the wife told me," which
is regarded as one, of Mr. McPherson 's
Jokes, though it is strictly true.
How She Saved Her Daughter.
" I shall never again feel so awfully
nervous about my babies teething,''
writes.a grateful mother. "We almost
lost our little darling by a long attack of
cholera infantum, but happily heard of
Parker's Ginger Tonic in time. I took
a few spoonfuls myself, which soon
cured my nursing baby entirely, and an
occasional dose has kept me and baby in
such perfectly good health, and made us
so strong and comfortable that I would
not be without this reliable medicine for
worlds." A Mother of Brooklyn. 1.9 lin

THOUGHT IT A CLOSE SHAVE.
rPH18 train goes plump through to
1 Chicago, don't it Cap'n T' lnquir
ed a tall, clerical looking old gentleman
of the conductor on the ltock Island
and Pacific east bound train last Thurs
day. "Yes, sir."
" Well, I'm In right smart of a hurry
to get Into Illlnoy. Pressing business
takes me over there. I've had a power
ful narrow escape, Cap'n, and I would
not like to slip up now."
" I hope my friend, you have not been
doing anything wrong that makes you
run away to Illinois."
" Wrong V Nary a time. But I did
have the dogondest closest shave that a
man ever got, I reckon. Why, I ran
three miles and a half to catch this yer
train, and the Wldder Burnham right
behind sicking her dogs on at every
Jump. " Cotch hlin, Cmsar, bring hlra
back you Tige I" she yelled. I tell you
Cap'n, Iowa Is the place for your close
shaves."
" I don't think I know just what you
mean by close shaves. You must have
given this Mrs. Burnham some cause to
set her dogs on you. Will you tell me
what It was V
"I hadn't never given her nothing
but jest good talk about the weather,
cattle, hogs and sich no talk of marry
ing, for I Bint on that lay myself. And
what do you think that woman played
on me V
"Nothing serious, was It V"
The conductor and another listener
began to be Interested since It assumed a
matrimonial aspect.
" You bet it was serious for me. There
was another younger widow agoing to
get married soon', and preparations was
going forward over at her house for the
thing to come oft' as quick as ever they
was ready. It was only sort of neigh
borly for them marrying folks to ask me
and the Wldder Burnham to stand up
with 'em. They all allowed It was best
to go over the arrangement a little be
forehand, so as not to make mistakes at
the wedding."
" You had a rehearsal, then V"
" That was what they called it. But,
Cap'n ,no more rehearsals for this board
er. Jt was last Sunday night after
preaching that we all hands sorter gath
ered to that rehearsal. The preacher,
too, cum over to boss it. I wasn't ex
actly on time, and as soon as ever I
cum In they called out, " Stand up here
and face the minister." " Wat fur "
says I ; but the Wldder Burnham laughs
and says, " I'll show the old bachelor
how folks get married he don't know
nothing about It." Then she says in
her laughing way, " We must take hold
of hands you know," and she says to
the minister, " Now parson fire away.',
" And, Cap'n as sure as you'r llvin', he
did fire away. He married me and the
Wldder Burnham tighter 'n Mill's lock.
And I stood there never noticing what
was wrong till the Wldder Burnham
holds up her mouth for the preacher to
kiss her. " I wish you happiness," he
says. "And another husband before
the year Is out," says I to end off the
rehearsal. " Oh, the cruel, onfeelln'
man," cries all the women, to talk that
way to the bride the very night of the
wedding." " Whose weddlngy" says I.
" Yours, of course," says the preacher.
And the rehearsal ended right there,
Cap'n. I started for Chicago on a Jump
and the Wldder Burnham ' started for
me. It was a mighty close shave.
. A Darkey Justice.
THE Little Bock Gazette says : Sever
al days ago a white man was ar
raigned before a colored justice down the
country on charges of killing a man and
stealing a mule.
"Wall," said the justice, " de facks
in dis case shall be weighed wid careful
ness, an' ef I hangs yer taln't no fault
ob mine."
"Judge, you have no jurisdiction only
to examine me."
" Dat sorter work 'longs ter de regular
Justice, but yer see I'se been put on
on as a special. A special hez de right
ter make a mouf at s'preme courts ef he
chuses ter."
" Do the best for me you can, Judge."
Dat's what I'se gwine ter do. I'se
got two kinds ob law in dis court, de
Arkansaw an' de Texas law. I generally
gins a man de right to chose fur hlsself.
Now what law does yer want ; de Texas
or de Arkansaw V"
I believe I'll take the Arkansas."
" Well, in dat caje I'll dismiss yer fur
stealln' de mule"
" Thank you, Judge."
"An' hang yer fur klllin' de man"
" I beUeve, judge, that I'll take the
Texas."
" Wall, In dat case I'll dismiss yer fur
klllin' de man"
" You have a good heart, judge."
"An bang yer fur stealln' de mule.
I'll jls' take 'oasion heah ter remark dat

SUNDAY HEADING
Dying Amid Treasures.
A man employed, in a Spanish bank
stole the key to the strong room and Vis
ited It at Might Intending to carry oft a
large sura of money. But while Intent
on his booty, he forgot the great door,
which swung together by Its own
weight. There was a spring lock to the
door which fastened him byond all
chance of escape.
And now the poor prisoner cotlld only
sit down In despair, and wait and listen
for help to come. It might be days be
fore any one came. Meanwhile he
should die of hungef and thirst., .
The hours sped on and the gloom grew
deeper. A raging thirst consumed him,
He would have given all the gold about
him for one draught of water. What
would the riches of the world be compar
ed with his freedom y How anxiously
he listened for some sound wlthoutl
But thoes deep walls shut out alike all
sounds from wltlild or without. It was
of no avail that he beat the massive
door, and cried and shrieked for help.
As well might those deep burled In the
sea call upon those above to rescue them.
How vaguely he sought In his despair
for some weak point through which he
might with superhuman effort, dig out
a passageway to the outer world. Bo
near It seemed and yet so far away J
He would have welcomed detection
and exposure, yea, and punishment, if
he could only have been delivered from
that living tomb. His covetousness had
been bis ruin, He had pressed his way
into the treasure-house, only to find how
vain is gold and treasure if a man has
nothing else.
There are other unsatisfied and dis
contented men who are preparing for a
terrible doom. After years of toll, sin
and folly, the hour or retribution comes.
The miser has gained money, and finds
how little it Is worth, and dies amid his
rustling hoards. The business man ha
amassed wealth, and with broken con
stitution, drags out his weary existence,
envying the sturdy beggar at his door,
and leaving his wealth to be squandered
by those who count his death a favor to
them, and a blessing to the world.
The lover of sinful pleasure glories In
his shame, and runs to all excess of riot,
till at last with broken health, and shat
tered nerves, and rotting bones, he lies
lonely, loathsome, and accursed, and
finds that his pleasures were his pain, ,
and the things he longed for have prov
ed his ruin.
O child of Adam, learn the lesson of
content. Sin brings sorrow. Nothing
which God forbids can give permanent
peace of pleasure. Push on if you will '
find yourself at last In a prison from
which there is no escape. You posses
sion; appetites, associations and sins,
will wall you in on every hand, and
there will be no way to flee. For what
shall it profit a man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul t or what
shall a man give in exchange for his
soul y
" Dent Supposes."
Those who are so anxious about the .
future as to be unhappy in the present,
may learn a lesson from a poor colored
woman. Her name was Nancy, and
she earned a moderate living by wash
ing. She was however, always happy.
One day one of those anxious Chris
tians who are constantly " taking
thought" about the morrow said to
her :
" Ah, Nancy, it is well enough to be
happy now, but I should think your
thoughts of the future would sober you.
Suppose for Instance, that you should be
sick or unable to work ; or suppose your
present employers should move away,
and no one else Bhould give you any
thing else to do; or suppose "
" Stop !" cried Nancy, " I neber sup
poses. De Lord is my Shepherd, and I
know I shall not want. And honey,"
she added to her gloomy friend, "It's
all dem supposes as is making you so
mis'ble. You orter give dem ail up, an'
jes' trus' In de Lord." .
EST" An exchange truthfully Bays:
" The individual who is always casting
elurs at preachers, scoffing at religion it
self or in others, is at heart a scoundrel.
We have closely watched the career of
such characters for thirty years and
more, and never knew a single instance
wherein this judgment foiled. These
scoffers either filled a drunkard's grave,
or landed in jail or the penitentiary, or
had to flee from some community for
either swindling, false pretense, or eUe
theft.
43 Welcome evermore to gods and
men is the self-helping man. For him
all doors are flung wide; him all tongues
greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow
with desire. Our love goes out to him
and embraces him because he does not
need it.
CJ" The road ambition travels Is too
narrow for friendship, too crooked for
love, too rugged for honesty, too dark
for science.
