"Love in a Cottage."
"'"PELL me, Cbarley, who la that
X fasolnatltig creature Id blue, who
wftltisea so divinely )" asked young
Frank Belmont of hli friend Charles
Hastings, as they stood playing "wall
flower" for the moment at a military
ball.
" Julia Heathoote," answered Charles
with a half algh. "An old friend of
mine. I proposed, but she refused
me."
"On what ground 1"
" Simply because I had a comfortuble
income. Her head Is full of romantic
notions, and she dreams of nothing but
love in a cottage. Bhe contends that
poverty 1b essential to happiness and
that money is a bane." ,
" Have you given up all hopes of
hery"
" Entirely, tn faot, I'm engaged."
" Then you have no objection to my
addressing this dear, romantic angel V"
"None whatever. But I see my
fiance ; excuse me. I must walk the
next quadrille with her. Good luck."
Frank Belmont was a stranger in
Boston-aNew Yorker Immensely rich
and fashionable, but his reputation had
not preceeded him and Charles Hastings
was the only man in New England who
knew blra. He procured an Introduc
tion to the belle from one of the mana
gers, and soon danced and talked him
self into her good graces, In fact it was
a clear case of love on both sides. The
enamored pair were Bitting apart, enjoy
ing a delicious tete-a-tete. Suddenly Mr.
Belmont heaved a deep sigh. ,
"Why do you sigh, Mr. Belmont P"
asked the fair Julia, secretly not displeas
ed with this proof of her lover's sensibili
ty. "Is not this a gay scene V"
"Alas I yes ;" replied Belmont, gloomi
ly. "But fate does not permit me to
mingle habitually In scenes like these.
They only make my ordinary life doubly
gloomy, and even here I seem to see the
bhadow of a fiend waving me away.
What right have I to be here V"
"What fiend do you allude to P" asked
Miss Ileathcoate, with Increasing Inter
est. . .
"A fiend hardly presentable in good
society," replied Belmont, bitterly. "One
could tolerate a Mephlstopheles a digni
fied fiend with his pockets full of
money, but my tormentor, lf personified
would appear with Beedy boots and a
shocking bad hat." ,
"How absurd!"
"It is true," sighed Belmont; "and
the name of my fiend is poverty."
"Are you poor V"
"Yes madam ; and when I would fain
render myself agreeable in the eyes of
beauty this fleud whispers to me : 'Be
ware I you have nothing to offer but love
in a cottage.' "
"Mr. Belmont," said Julia, with spark
ling eyes and a voice of unusual anima
tion, "although there are sordid souls in
this world, who only judge of the merits
of an individual by his pecuniary poss
essions, I do not belong to the number.
I respect poverty. There is something
poetical about it, and I Imagine that
happiness is oftener found in the humble
cottage than beneath the palace roof."
Belmont appeared enchanted with
this encouraging avowal. The result
was an elopement. The happy couple
passed a day In New York, and then
Frank removed his beloved to his " cot
tage." An Irish hack conveyed them to a
miserable shanty in the environs of
New York city, where they alighted and
Frank escorted his bride Into the room,
which served as a kitchen, reception
and drawiDg room, and was neither
papered nor carpeted, Introduced Mad
ame Julia to his mother. The old lady,
who was peeling potatoes, hastily wiped
her hands on her apron and saluted her
" darter" on both cheeks.
" Can it be possible," thought Julia
"that this vulgar creature Is my Frank's
mother P"
" Frank I" screamed the old woman,
you'd better go right up stairs and take
of them hired close. The boy's been
arter 'em more'n fifty times. Frank
hired 'em when he went down East,"
she added, by way of explanation to
Julia, " to look emart."
The bridegroom retired on this bint,
and soon reappeared in a pair of faded
nankeen pantaloons' reaching to about
the calveB of bis legs, a very shabby
black coat out at elbows, a ragged black
vest, aud, instead of his varnished boots
a pair of immense, trodden-down bro
gans. " Now," said he, sitting down by the
cooklng-Btove, " I begin to feel at borne.
This is delightful la't it, dearest P" and
be warbled:
Tho" eversohumble, there's no place like hone."
Julia's heart swelled so that she could
not utter a word.
" Dearest I" said Frank " I think you
told me you bad no objections to smok
ies;." " None in the least," aald the bride.
"I rather like the flavor of a good
cigar."
" Oh I a cigar," salt) Belmont that
would never do for a poor man. . -
And, oh horror 1 he produced an old
clay pipe, and filled it from a blue paper
of tobacco, began to smoke with a keen
relish.
" Dinner I dinner 1" he exclaimed at
length. thank you, mother, I'm as
hungry as a bear. Codfish and potatoes,
Julia. Not very tempting, love, but
what of that P Our aliment Is love."
"Yes, and eeein' as how you've
brought me home a darter," said the
old woman, " I've gone and bought a
whole pint Albany ale and three cream
cakea from the Candy shop next block."
; Poor Julia pleaded Indisposition, and
did not eat a mouthful. Before Bel
mont, however the codfish and potatoes,
ale and cream cakes disappeared with a
very unromantlo and unlover-llke celer
ity. At the close of the meal a thundering
double knock preceded the entrance of
a beer brewer man in a green waist
coat. "Now, Mister Belmont," asfed the
stranger, " are you ready to go worrdk P
Be the powers 1 lf I don't Bee ye, to-mor-.
row salted on the bench, I'll discharge
ye without a carakter or a recommend,
and then ye'll starve." . '
"Who Is that man that loafer,"
gasped Julia when the visitor had
rrrtty ft
! " Mv pmnlnver a tailor and I'm a
journeyman tailor and a bushelman,"
said Belmont.
" Well, Julia, how do you like love
in a cottage V" asked Belmont, entering
the lady's room.
" Not so well sir, as you seem to . do
borrowed plumage."
" Very well, you shall endure it no
longer. My carriage awaits your orders
at the door."
" Your carriage, indeed I and your
mother P"
" I have no mother, ' alas I The old
woman down stairs is a servant in the
family. It a melancholy fact that I am
rich, worth a million of dollars."
" Then you have been deceiving me,
Frank. How wlokedl"
But she endured a fortune after all,
and presided with grace at the elegant
festivities of Belmont Hall, her bus
band's seat on the Hudson, nor did she
ever open her lips again about " Love
In a Cottage."
Didn't Know How to Take Them.
HE was on his way home from Lead
ville. He had on a ragged old
summer suit, a bad hat, and he had been
taking his meals about thirty hours
apart to make his money carry him
through.
"Yes, 1 like the country out that
way," he replied to the query. " The
climate is good, the scenery fine, aud
some of the people are aa honest as needs
be. The trouble is knowing how to
take the bad ones."
"I should think tbat would be easy,"
was the reply.
" Yes, it looks that way, but I had a
little experience. I am the original dla
klverer of the richest mine around Lead
ville." "Is that bo P"
" Yes, sir, I am the very man, though
you wouldn't think It to see these old
clothes."
" Then you don't own It now ?"
"Not a bit of it. I'll explain : I was
poking around on the hills and found
signs. I collected some specimens for
assay ; staked out a claim and went off
to the assayers. It wag two days before
he let me know that I had struck the
richest ore that he had ever assayed, and
then I hurried back to my claim. Hang
my buttons if it hadn't been jumped !"
" How P".
" Why, a gang of sharpers had found
tlje spec and built up a pole shanty and
hung out a sign of 'First Baptist Church'
over the door. Sure' aa shootin' they
had, and the law out there is that no
miner can sink a shaft within 200 feet
of a church building. They saw me
coming, and when I got there they
were actually holding a revival ! There
was jest six of 'em and tbey got up one
after another and told bow wicked they
had been and how sorry they were, and,
would you believe it they had the
cheek to ask me to lead off in the slng
lng. I went to law but they beat me.
three days after the verdict the 4 First
Baptist' burned down, and before the
ashes was cold the congregation was de
velopin' a mine worth over a million
dollars. You see I didn't know how to
take 'em."
"Was there any particular way of
taking them P"
" You bet there was ! I ought to have
opened on that revival with a Winches
ter rifle and given the coroner fifty dol
lars for a verdict tbat they died of too
much religion."
An Indian Makes a Call.
A PARTY of Sioux Indiana were
guests at aleadlriMllwaukee hotel,
says Peck't ,S'im, andk fte ladle had a
great deal of amulent with them,
studying their custom. That Is, they
all did except one lady. The ladles called
upon the Indlarjg and the savages re
turned them almost before the ladles got
to their rooms. One lady called on a
chief, and then went to her room, and
retired, and pretty soon there was a
knock at her door, and she found that
it wag the chief. She told blm to come
in the morning. The lady unlocks her
door in the morning so that the porter
can come In and build the fire before
she gets up. She heard a knock In the
morning, and supposing it wag the por
ter, she aald. "Come in" The door
opened and In walked Mr. Indian. She
took one look at him and pulled the bed
clothes over her head. He sat down on
the bed and said "Howl" Well, she
wag bo Beared tbat she didn't know
"How" from Adam. She said to him
in the best Sioux Bhe could command.
44 Please, good Mr. Indian, go away, until
I get up," but he didn't seem to be In a
hurry. He picked up pieces of her
wearing apparal from the floor, different
articles that he didn't seem to know
anything about where they were worn,
and made comments on them In the
Sioux tongue. The stockings seemed to
paralyze his untutored mind the most.
They were these long, 90 degrees in the
shade stockings, and they were too
muoh for his feeble intellect. He held
them up by the toes and Bald " Ugh 1"
The lady trembled and wished be would
go away. He seemed to take great de
light in i. examining the hair on the
bureau, and looked at the lady as much
as to say, " Ppor girl, some hostile tribe
has made war on the pale face and taken
many scalps." He critically examined
all the crockery, the wash bowl and
pitcher, but be was struck the worst at
a corset that he found on a chair. He
tried to put it on hltmelf, and w as so
haudy about It tbat it occurred to the
lady tbat be was not bo fresh a delegate
as he seemed to be. Finally she happen
ed to think of the bell, and site rung It
as though the house was on fire, and
pretty soon the porter came and Invited
the Indian to go down and take a drink.
The lady locked that door too quick, and
she will never leave it open again when
there are Indians in town. She says her
hair on the bureau, fairly turned gray
from fright.
How Did the Dog Know the Way.
IN the current number of the Popular
Science Monthly there Is a very inter
esting article, which details the expert
ments made by certain Ohio physicians
to ascertain whether the faculty which
some animals possess of returning to
their homes by a nearly direct course
after being carried a great distance by a
circuitous rout is to be attributed to
scent, memory, or any other intelligible
cause. Everybody, of course, is aware
of the fact that a cat may be put into a
bag and taken ever so far away .from its
accustomed hearth.and by ever bo round
about a Journey, and yet turn up again
in due time at the old place its ability
to get back being apparently limited
only by insuperable physical obstacles.
The subject of the Ohio experimenters
was a dog. The way they went to work
and the result is thus described :
A dog was made insensible with ether
at Cincinnati, put Into a wicker basket,
started on a train of the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad, first southwest to
Danville Junction, thence east to Crab
Orchard, and finally northeast to a
hunting rendezvous near Berea, in Mad
ison county. This circuitous route was
taken because on a former occasion,
when the dog had returned from a point
160 miles distant from bis home, it wag
suspected that he might have found his
way back by simply reversing bis course
on the railway by which be had come.
At Berea the dog was shut up securely
over night and well fed. The next morn
ing he was taken out to a clearing on
the top of a grassy knob at some dis
tance from the railway, and let loose.
Without any preliminary survey he
Blunk off into a ravine, scrambled up
the opposite bank, and struck first on
a trot and then a swift gallop.not toward
Crab Orchard, i. e., southeast, but due
north, in a bee line for Cincinnati. He
ran not like an animal that had lost its
way but " like a horse on a tramway,"
straight a bead with his nose well up, as
If be were following an air line toward
a visible goal. He made a short detour
to the left to avoid a lateral ravine, but
further up be resumed his original
course, leaped a rail fence and went
headlong Into a coppice of cedar bushes,
where they finally lost sight of him.
The report of the experimenters was
forwarded to the owner by rail and on
the afternoon of the next day after re
ceiving this report the owner met the
dog on the street In Cincinnati, "wet,
full of burrs and remorse, and apparent
ly ashamed of his tardiness."

Tha Revised English Bible.
Those who imagined that any of the
accepted fundamental doctrines of Chris
tianity were to be over turned by tho
work of the committee' will find them
selves greatly mistaken. In very few
instances bag any text been changed so
as to alter the meaning which attached
to it In the King James version, and in
still fewer instances Is the change mat,
rial from a doctrinal point of view. As
a general thing the changes consist of
the substitution of the present for the
past tense In the verbs, the use of the
Indefinite article in place of the definite,
and the changing of prepositions. The
work la arranged In paragraphs, and the
chapters and verses are printed in the
margins. The familiar bead 11 tie?
ine cnapiers wnicn serve so well as
means of reference are expunged. This
will make the book seem strange to the
ordinary Bible reader. The text of each
Gospel Is thus made continuous in the
body of the book from the beginning to
the end, and in order to find the subdi
visions with which one has been famil
iar, the margins must be consulted.
Among the most notable changes is
the omission of the doxology at the end
of the Lord's prayer, and the prayer is
to be delivered from "the evil one" In.
stead of from "evil". " Take heed that
ye do not your alms before men"
men" is , J
it ye do SI
iiien." 1
shall it M
made to read, ", Take heed that
not your righteousness before:
In the question, " For what
profit a man If he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own eoul P or what
shall a man give in exchange for his
soul P" the word " life" is substituted
for " soul" and " forfeit'' for "lose."
" This la My beloved Sou, bear Him,"
Is made to read " This is My Son, My
chosen." In Mathew xlx. 17, the en
tire meaning is changed, but no new
doctrine is put forth, and no old one as
sailed. In the King James version the
verse reads : " Why callast thou me
good ? There Is none good but one ;
that is God P But if thou will enter into
life, keep the commandments." In the
new version the verse reads as follows :
" Why asketh thou me concerning that
which is good P One there Is who is
good j but lf thou would enter into life,
keep the commandments." In all tbe
examples given, "Hades" is used in
place of " hell," as, for example, ia ' tTie
parable of Lazarus it is said of the rlcu
man that in " Hades" he lifted up his
eyes, being in torments." The story of
the pool of Bethesda, as told in John v,
is materially changed by taking from it
that portion which relates to the mirac
ulous powers of the water of the pool.
In verse 3" In these lay a great multi
tude of impotent folk, of blind, halt,
withered, waiting for the moving of the
water" the last seven words are strick
en out, and verse 4," For an angel
went down at a certain season into the
pool and troubled the water ; whosoever
then first after the troubling of the
water stepped In and was made whole of
whatsoever diseased he had," is omitted
altogether. In the account of the trial
of Paul before Agrlppa some rather in
portant changes are made, and the Im
pression that Agrlppa wag almost per
suaded to become a Christian by St.
Paul's eloquence Is dispelled. Tbe
verses In the present version ffo as fol-
lows: " And as he thus Bpal for him-
self I estus said, with a loud voice : Paul,
thou art beside thyself; much learning
doth make thee mad. But he said, I am
not mad, most noble Festus, but speak
forth the words of truth and soberness.
For the king knoweth of these things,
before whom also I speak freely : for I
am persuaded that none of these things
are hidden from him ; for this thing was
not done in a corner. King Agrippa,
believest thou the prophets P I know
that thou believest. Then Agrlppa said
unto Paul, almost thou persuades t me to
be a Christian. And Paul said, I would
to God that not only thou, but also all
that bear me this day, were both almost
and altogether, auch aa I am. en'
these bonds." In the revised' ver
this scene ia described thus : 44 And a
thug made bia defence, Festus n
with a loud voice : Paul, thou art m,
thy much learning doth turn thee
madness. But Paul said, I am not m
most excellent Festus, but apeak fo
the words of truth and soberness, i s
the king knoweth of these things, ui
whom also I speak freely ; for I am p
suadedthat none of these things a
hidden from him, for this hath not bet ,
done in a corner. King Agrlppa, belief
est thou the prophets V I know tin!
thou believest. And Agrlppa said untt
Paul, with but little persuasion the!
wouldstfain make me a Christian.
And Paul said, I would to God, wheth !
witn nttia or wltn much, not thou otii
but also all that hear me this day, uM
J
ucvuuic buuu a x am, exctpi. jfUeel

The above examples give a falride of
the work done by the committer during
the ten years they have been occupied
with the revision. There Is Utile doubt
that the work will he accepted by the .
