An Account Kept Somewhere.
It is related of the celebrated Dr. Jew
ett that in the course of bis travels he
once entered a country tavern and sat
down by the bar-room fire to warm bis
fingers. His keenly-roving eye soon
discovered prominent over rows of bot
tles with highly colored contents in
large letters, the inscription, " No credit
given here." Turning to the landlord
(to whom he was personally unknown)
he said :
"Ah, I see you bring people square
up to the mark here 1"
"Yes," replied the landlord, " It's no
use to trust rum-customers now-a-days.
We must get it as we go along or never
get it."
Jewett warmed his fingers awhile and
then turning to the landlord, said :
" I think I could add a line or two to
your inscription that would make it
very nice."
"What would you add?" inquired
the landlord.
" Give me a pen and a piece of paper
and I will show you."
" Walk into the bar: there's a pen
and ink help yourself."
The doctor walked into the bar, and
taking up the pen, wrote as follows :
" No credit given hero.
And yet I've cause to fear
That there's a day book kept In heaven,
Where charge Is made and credit given."
Laying down the pen and leaving the
lines, be walked to the fire, and again
sat down, expecting an explosion. The
landlord went behind the counter and
read what be bad written. A pause of
some moments ensued, when the doctor
glancing around, was, to bis great pleas
ure, and somewhat to his surprise from
the intimations of dampness about the
eyes of the landlord convinced that he
had driven a nail in a sure place. " A
word fitly spoken, bow good it is."

Can any one tell why it is that some

Judgment of Men.
Don't judge a man by the clothes be

Don't judge hini by his family con

Don't judge aaman by his failure in

too honest to succeed.
Don't judge a man by bis speech, for
a parrot talks, but the tongue is but an

Don't judge a man by the bouse be

inhabit the grandest structures.
A FAMILY SECRET.
LADY EASTCHAMP was the widow
of a gentleman who had owned one
of the finest estates in the English
county of Yorkshire. She was the sole
executor of her husband's property,
which she held in trust for their only
son. The age at which it should be
handed over to him was not the usual
aged of twenty-one however, but twenty-five.
At this age he was also to receive an
other fortune, bequeathed by an eccen
trio relative in Scotland, and which,
principal and accumulated interest,
amounted to more than a million ster
lings. The one peculiar condition about this
last bequest was that if the young man
did not take possession precisely at 12
o'clock upon his twenty-fifth birthday it
was to revert to the next heir named in
the will, and between whom and the
lite Sir Charles Eastchamp had existed
a life-long dislike, amounting almost to
positive hatred.
The young man, now BIr Henry, bad
always bad a taste, almost amounting
to a pusslou, for traveling, aud when he
bad reached the age of twenty-three bad
accompanied an exploring expedition
into the interior of Africa. Nearly two
years passed without any word from
him reaching home until, within a week
of bis twenty-fifth birthday, be return
ed, and claiming his property according
to the condition of both wills, (took up
bis residence at the ball.
A month afterward Lady Eastcbamp
was taken suddenly ill, and for several
weeks was confined to her bed with a
malignant fever.
During the whole time she was most
tenderly nursed by a young girl, her
adopted daughter, and, thanks to her
care, the crisis of the fever was safely
passed, and the lady wbb on the fair way
to recovery.
For nearly a week these favorable
symptoms continued, aud she was fast
approaching convalescence, when one
morning the nurse, awaking from her
doze in ber cbair, found the lady lying
dead and cold in ber bed.
The alarm was given at once, and the
pbyBicianB, hurriedly summoned, de
clared that she bad died by poison.
Laudanum was the drug that had been
UBed, and when the fact was learned that
the previous afternoon the lady's adopt
ed daughter had purchased it in the ad
joining village, though not at once
brought into custody, she was placed un
der strict surveillance.
This adopted daughter whose name
was Clara Lowell, was a very beautiful
girl of not more than eighteen. The
child of one of ber former schoolmates,
who bad died In giving ber birth. Lady
Eastcbamp had always treated her as if
she bad really been ber own daughter,
and now the girl could not have appear
ed more inconsolable had she in reality
lost a mother.
Notwithstanding ber display of grief,
however, the circumstances appeared so
strong against her that she was arrest
ed. She admitted having purchased the
laudanum, in compliance with Lady
Eastcbamp's request, who bad given the
vial to ber son. TbiB, however, the
young man positively denied.
When asked why she had not set up
with the sick lady as she bad done on
previous nightB,sbe replied she had done
so until 12 o'clock, when it was at Lady
Eastcbamp's own request that she had
retired.
"As for any further questions you
may ask," she said firmly, "I will not
answer them. Though I may have sus
picions, I do not know anything except
that I am innocent."
She adhered firmly to ber resolution
of silence, and the strictest examination
could not extort an answer from her.
Her obstinacy, however, had but the ef
fect of confirming the magistrates in
their belief in ber guilt, and she was
consigned to prison to await her trial.
Though Bucb was the effect upon the
magistrates, there was one person who
thought differently. This was a young
detective who bad been sent from Scot
land Yard to work up the case, and bis
belief in the girl's innocence was firm.
" She is biding some family secret,
not her own guilt," be said to himself ;
and proceeding to the prison lie tried to
engage ber in conversation, in the hope
that some chance word would give blm
a clew to the solution of the mystery.
In this hope be was doomed to disap
pointment, however, for the girl still re
mained firmly reticent, and quite dis
couraged he returned to the hall, but
with an idea that bad before occurred to
him taking more definite shape in bis
brain.
" If I could but imagine u motive,"
be said to himself, " I would say it was
the son who was guilty ; but, no ; there
could be none possible. "
Still the idea would not be buuiuhed
from bis mind, and remaining at the
ball for two days longer, be watohed the
young baronet night and day, but with
out finding the least confirmation of bis
suspicions.
He was on the point of giving it up in
bitter despair, when on the evening be
fore the funeral of the murdered lady, a
note was brought to him.
It was from the Eastcbamp family
lawyer, and contained but half a dozen
words :
" Come to my office at once."
liewarding the messenger with a
small coin, the detective at once started
to obey the lawyer's summons.
He found him waiting for blm with a
flushed face and excited manner, and,
seizing blm by the arm, he dragged him
toward the inner door office.
' A most extraordinary thing," he
said. "Marvelous I"
Before the detective could reply, they
bad passed into the private office, and
found themselves face to face with a
young man whose resemblance to the
young baronet was so remarkable that
involuntarily he exolamed :
" Sir Henry Eastcbamp I"
"Yes," the young man answered,
"the real one. You are I understand, a
detective. Explain "
An involuntary exclamation from the
detective's lips, as the truth flashed upon
him, Interrupted the sentence. '
"Idiot!" he cried, "not to have
thought of it before. I see it all now."
Then addressing the young man :
"But how do you, sir, explain your
absence at the time when you should
have appeared in person to claim your
legacy V"
"Simply enough. I was with an ex
ploring expedition in Africa. I was
taken prisoner by the natives, and kept
in captivity for over a year. As soon as
I escaped I made the best of my way
home, only to fiod another man stepped
into my shoes."
" And did you send no word until
your arrival in England r"
" Yes. I telegraphed to my mother
from Aden."
"And that was?"
" A week ago to-day."
" And you have reached home several
days sooner than you expected when
you telegraphed ?"
" Yes."
The detective could not refrain from
an expression of pleasure.
" It grows as clear as noonday," be
said. " It was the following night your
mother was murdered."
He was silent for a moment, evidently
thinking deeply. Then be asked:
" Is there any one at the ball any old
servant that has known you from child
hood?" " Yes, several. There is my old nurse
Esther, besides "
" That will do," the detective inter
rupted; "let us lose no time, but goto
the ball. We may be too late as It is."
His enthusiasm and energy were not
without their effect upon his compan
ions, and in silence they followed bis in
structions. Without a word they fol
lowed him from the office, and balling a
passing carriage, entered it and were
driven to the hall.
At the park gates they alighted, and
proceeded to the house, entered by the
servant's door.
" Where is Sir Henry V" the detective
asked one of the servants.
"In the library, sir," the man an
swered ; " but he is busy, and does not
wish to be disturbed to-night."
" It is no matter," the detective said ;
" send his old nurse, Mrs. Esther, here
at once."
After giving his command be passed
rapidly along the passage and np the
staircase, still followed by the lawyer
and bis companion, until he reached the
library door, which, without knocking
be opened, and entered the room.
The supposed baronet was seated at
an escritoire writing, and at the intru
sion looked up, with a haughty frown
on bis face.
" What does this mean?" lie began
but before be could finish the sentence
the detective had reached his side, and
laid bis hand upon bis arm.
" It means," he answered " that the
rightful heir has come to claim bis own,
and that I, an officer of the detective
force, arrest you for the murder of Lady
Eastcbamp."
A cry of despair broke from the lips
of the arrested man, but with a sudden
leap, be wrenched himself from the de
tective's grasp, while bis hand sought
bis breast. '
Thinking be was about to draw a
weapon, the detective's, hand also grasp
ed his revolver, but before he bad done
so, the prisoner's band bad again been
taken from his breast and raised to bis
mouth.
The sound of breaking glass as a vial
was crushed between bis teeth, caused
a malediction to leave the detective's
"lips.
" He has escaped us," he cried, with
chagrin.
" Yes," the prisoner answered, In a
voice of despairing triumph, " I have
escaped you. In a few more moments I
will be, ah, heaven I"
His voice died away in a choking,
gasping sob, and he foil face downward-
on the floor.
Almost at the same instant the door
of the library again opened, and an old
woman of more thau sixty entered.
For a moment she stood as one bewil
dered, and then quickly, advanced to
where the real baronet was standing.
"Ah, master Henry," she said "His
you Indeed. My poor, dear mistress
never would believe you were dead, and
It was that you might have your own
when you came home that she got an
other to take your place."
The three listeners stood astounded at
the secret her words revealed as she
went on to tell how, sooner than allow
the bequest to pass into the bands of ber
husband's enemy, Lady Eastchamp had
procured a substitute to represent ber
son. They also understood how, learn
ing that the real heir was about to re
turn home, the Impostor had sought to
confirm bis claim to the name and for
tune gained by fraud by a still darker
crime.
He was free from human punishment t
now, however, for the poison he had
swallowed, was almost instantaneous in
its effect,nnd he was dead. Miss Lowell
was of course, at once released from
prison, and a year or two later became
Lady Eastchamp. The suicide of the
imposter satisfied the public mind, and
beyond a favored few outside of the
ranks of the secret service, no one ever
knew the darker shades of this family
secret.
- .....
Took the Brag Out.
A carpenter and joiner in Oneoutg,
New York, said to his fellow-workmen ;
" I am going to send over borne to Scot
land and get a claw-hammer one that
I can work with. I can't get a decent
hammer in America."
About this time a friend of bis was
going back to the " auld sod," and be,
commissioned him to go to the best hard
ware store in Glasgow and get him a
carpenter's claw-hammer, the best he
could find.
In due time the friend returned,bring
lug the desired tool. The party gather
ed around him Including some of his
fellow-workmen and be proceeded to
open the package, in the meantime
making this re wark : "I'll show yoti
something to make your eyes water," aa
the friend bad assured him that he -bought
bim the kind of hammer used
by the best workmen in Glasgow.
He affectionately unwound the wraps
and as he took the tool and handed it
over to his friends, he said :
"There look at that!" '
One of bis friends did so, and read the
trade-mark on the hammer: "Made
at Norwich, N. Y., U. S. A." You can
imagine the scene that followed. Suf
fice to say that there was no more brag
ging about Scotch hammers.
A Hypocrite Ring.
" Say, mister," as he walked up to
the proprietor of a jewelry store who
stood behind the counter, "have you
any of these here finger rings these
here these oh, I forgot what you caH
'em?"
" Gold rings V" asked the proprietor. .
" No, not quite gold rings oh, yes ;
hypocrite gold rings ; that's it."
" I can't understand what you mean
by that," said the proprietor with a
stare.
" I mean," said the young man, "this
kind of gold that looks like gold and
isn't gold ; this here kind that most
everbody is wearin' now-a-days. I want
a ring for my girl, and I want you to
scratch on the inside, 'Jim Brown to
Sallle Jones.' Don't care what it costs.
You can go as high as fltfy cents for it
all if you want to. It's a begagement
ring."
The boss took it all in, and soon fixed
him off with a "hypocrite" gold ring
done up in the softest cotton. -
He Did Once.
A leading officer in one of the courts
was charged with never going to bed
sober. Of course he indignantly denied
the soft impeachment, and be gave the
particulars of a particular night in proof.
We quote bis own wordi :
" Soon after I got in bed, my wife
said :"
" Why husband, what's the matter
with you? You act so strangely ?"
" There is nothing the matter with
me," said I.
" I'm sure there is," said she ; " you
don't act natural at ail. Shan't I get up
and get something for you ?" And she
got up, lighted the candle, and came to
the bedside to look at me, shading the,
light with one hand. "I knew there
was something about you," said she.
" Why, you are sober f"
