Old Jeremiah's Conversion.
NEAIl tlie river In tbe upper part of
Arkansas, lives old Jeremiah Win
frey, known all over tlie neighborhood
as possessing a finul of profanity bo
great that no one, no matter how desir
ous of "swearing" distinction, could
hope to rival. Old Jeremiah, although
named for one of the most distinguished
prophets, made no efforts toward reform.
He did not allow a preacher to come to
his house, so great was his aversion to
the gospel. One night, when the wind
blew cold and when the sleet heat
against the window pane with that
Bharp rattle so brightly tending to pro
duce thankful emotions to those who
are wlthlu a warm room, and so ex
asperating to the traveler, a man rapped
ou the door of Jeremiah's house.
" Come in," exclaimed the old man,
as he put aside a plate of pop corn. The
door opened and a young man, parrying
a pair of saddle bngs entered. Jeremiah
immediately began a series of attentions.
He gave the stranger a seat In thp
corner near the churn, while his wife
Htid (laughters flew around in that hurry
flurry only known to women, preparing
supper for the "poor traveler." After
supper the stranger had been Invited to
smoke, and when Abe, Jeremiah's sou,
had been sent to "shelter" the stranger's
horse, the old man, eyeing the stranger,
asked :
' What do you toller V"
"I am engaged In the Lord's mer
chandise. I, my kind christian friend,
am a meek and lowly circuit rider."
"Then git out o' my house, sir," ex
claimed Jeremiah. "Git right out, or
I'll apply a par of cow hide boots to that
part of your physical arraiTgemeut what
rests in the cheer. A circuit rider, why,
ding your soul, I swapped horses with a
circuit rider when I wus a boy, aud got
cheated so bad that my father thrashed
me. Git out of here. Mosey 1"
"I am sorry, tuy christian friend"
"Git out. Abe git tills feller's boss.
Move on,"
When tbe preacher had gone, tlie old
man sat for an hour, swearing and
smoking.
"Father," said Abe, "I'll bet my
filly agiu the sorrel nag that you'll be a
circuit rider in six months."
"Go to bed you young varment or I'll
whale you."
" You'd better take the bet pap. Here's
your chance to win the filly."
"All light, I'll take the bet. Go to
l'd.".
All next day the old man swore about
the preacher's impudence, and In gen
eral terms expressed regret that he did
not use a stick on him. Xext night,
when the old man was feeding the cattle
in the barn, a voice so strange that It
made the old man's blood creep, moaned
rather than exclaimed :
"Jeremiah Winfrey 1"
" Who's that t"' answered the old
man.
" Jeremy Winfrey 1"
" Well."
" Hide the circuit of the Gospel."
" I'll show you what it is to fool with
me," hotly exclaimed the old uiau, and
he climbed all around tbe barn looking
for the offender. He could lind no one,
and when he went to the house he
aroused Abe out of bed and told of his
strange experience. Next day, when
the old man was riving boards in the
woods, a voice over his head exclaimed :
"Jeremiah Winfrey I"
" Where are you J"' said the old man,
dropping his froe and gazing up.
"Jeremiah Winfrey 1"
" Well?" still gazing.
" Ittde the circuit of the Gospel."
"Oh, Lord," supplicated Jeremiah,
dropping on his knees. "Oh, forgive
me for my Bins, but keep me from riding
a circuit."
The old man went home, and experi
enced some trouble in trying to convince
hrs wife and Abe of the fact that some
thing supernatural had Bpoken to him;
The old lady sighed and Bald that she
wus afraid Jeremiah was not in his
right mind. Thus matters went for
months. Nearly every night the voice
at the barn would call the ohl man, aud
every time he went to the board tree
the same solemn admonition would
come from above. Unable to longer
endure such mental torture, the old
man, who had by this time professed
religion, made application to conference,
and was accepted. On the morning
when he first started out as a circuit
rider he presented Abe with the sorrel
nag. He soon iustituted a revival, and
was so successful that- he received a
complimentary letter from religious
head-quarters. Several nights ago, just
after fumily prayers, and while Parson
Jeremiah was upbraiding Abe for not
joining tbe church, the young man
said :
" Pap, you did become a circuit rider,
didn't you r'
" Certaluly I did. You well know the
circumstances."
" Yes, 1 know, replied Abe. I know
a leetle more about tlie circumstances
than you reckon. Arter I made that
bet witli you I hid In tlie barn loft and
called you through a horn.' When you
climupllild under tbe hay. Then I
heat y mi down and run to the house.
Next day when I seed you goln,1 out to
rive boards, I dim up In the tree an'
got down in the holler. I again beat
you to the house. I practised this on
you pap, till you 'fessed 'llglon. I want
ed the nag you know."
The old man sprang from his seat,
siezed n piece of rope, but throwing It
down, raised h)s hands and said lu a
calm voice, " Let us pray."
A fraudulent transaction can some
times have a good result. The old man
Is still a preacher.
A Romance of History.
COXRADthe Emperor of Germany,
was remarkable for his unsparing
punishment of all who crossed his pur
pose. A quaint but true legend recites
that a certain Count Lupoid, who was
one of those fearing death, fled into a
remote forest and lived in a hut with
his wife. It happened that the Emperor,
while hunting, came to the spot, and
passed the night with them. This
night tlie count's wife became the
mother of a son, and the emperor dream
ed that the child born would be his heir.
As tlie same dream re-ocurred twice, he
was greatly troubled, and the next morn
ing he commanded two of his servants
to kill tlie child. They took It away;
but being moved to compassion by its
smiles, they placed it under a tree, and
brought back a hare's heart to the em
peror. A certain duke, passing by soon
after, found the child, and took it home
to his wife, and adopted It as his own.
Afterward, the emperor being with this
duke, aud hearing him relate, as a forest
adventure, tlie history of this boy, who
was then present began to suspect that
the victim had escaped. Being continued
in the opinion, he took him into Ills
service as a page, and then sent him
with a letter to this empress, lu which
he charged her upon pain of his dis
pleasure, to have tlie bearer put todeath.
The youth set out, and after seven days
came to a certain priest's house, who re
ceived him with great hospitality. The
priest was struck by his comely air, and
by his traveling so far. While he slept
he looked at this letter, and discovered
the horrible fate that awaited him ; so
erasing the writing, he substituted these
words :
"Thisistheyouth whom I have chosen
as the husband of ourdaughter. Icharge
you to give her to him quickly."
Next morning the lad awoke refreshed,
and said :
" Adieu, dear host."
The priest replied :
"Remember me when you are em
peror." The boy only laughed, esteeming it a
jest; so they purted. On arriving at
Aix-la-Chapelle he delivered his letter,
and so well did the stratagem succeed,
that when the emperor wrote soon after,
to ask If his order had been obeyed, the
empress assured him that the nuptials
had been celebrated with great celerity
as he desired. Tbe emperor hardly be.
lleved his eyes when he read her letter.
Mounting his horse, he rode oil' imme
diately and with great speed to Aix-la-Chapelle.
On his arrival the empress
presented their daughter and son-in-law.
For a long time the emperor seemed lost
in astonishment and uncertain what to
do. At length nature prevailed, and he
exclaimed :
"The will of heaven cannot be re
sisted I"
Then he compelled flle two squires to
reveal what they had done, and the count
to come from the Black Forest and re
ceive back his son iu peace from the
emperor, who left him as heir, and who
succeeded him as Henry II. On the
spot In theibrest where the 'child was
born was erected afterward the monas
tery of Hlrschau.
Ministerial Advertising.
" fi AN I do anything for you in, my
V line to day V" askad an advertis
ing agent, laying his card before a
prominent Brooklyn theologian.
" But, my dear sir, I'm a clergyman,"
protested the dominie. " I don't adver
tise. I don't need to."
" Humbug 1" responded the agent,
sealing himself ou the table. " They all
advertise. I don't suppose you want to
come out and say, ' The Rev. Joseph
Gospel, Practical Preacher; Knotty
Theological Points a special ty.' That
isn't the way to do it. My idea is to
have you preach a heretical sermon or
abuse another minister, and then I'll
put you up an article for the press that
will just rabe your hair. Down comes
the crowd to see you; contribution plates
just heaped up with live dollar notes;
salary raised and the parsonage newly
furnished. The expense is slight and
you make a good thiug of it. Let ue
show you our list of prices."
" I don't believe iu the heretical ser
mon," said the theologian, musingly.
" Hit off some other person, then.
Come out aud say he's no account.
Bang hltn around for a few Bundnys
and leave the rest with me. That's the
way we fixed up Dr. Revelations, and
he's just raking lu wealth. If you
don't like that I'll get up a feeling iu
tlie church against you and bring you
ofT triumphantly ; double the congre
gation, and take up a collection to pay
expenses. That will cost you more but
It does tbe business quicker."
" What will be the expense for that r"
asked the minister.
"Twenty-flve pur cent, of the gross
receipts for six weeks and one tlilpl of
tlie foreign contributions for twelve
months. It don't come out of your
pocket and you reap the benefit. "
" What does it cost to abuse another
minister?"
" Three hundred dollars down and
one-half the raise of salary,' payable
quarterly."
" That's rather high," murmured the
minister. "What does the heretical
sermon cost ?"
'"That comes lower. You can get
through ou that line for two hundred
and fifty dollars."
"It's more than I can aflord," sighed
the parson.
" You might go into one of our com
bination schemes. I'll get a dominie to
go for you and you hit back. Cost you
one hundred and fifty dollars apiece.
How does that strike you ? We can
effect a reconciliation afterward for fifty
a bead more and a raise of salary guar
anteed. Just look over our catalogue of
ministers and pick out your man. Take
some fellow you can get away with and
there you are."
" How do I pay for this 'r1" asked the
parson.
" Twenty-five dollars down and the
balance when the job is finished."
The money was paid, and the agent
having secured enough for a peddler's
outfit, solemnly swore to lead an honest
life thenceforth, abandon his evil associ
ations and quit all schemes that in any
way savored of Illegitimate enterprise.
An Old Mystery Revised.
THAT famous query which convulsed
England, "would you be surprised
to learn V" quoted from the volumes of
Dr. Kenealy's cross-questioning in the
famous Tlchborue trial, .Is pertinently
revived in the appearance of a new
claimant to the ancient barony of De
Ilchenbouen, Hampshire, England. The
full narrative of the new Roger Is a
remarkable document, whether It be
veracious or not. The present Roger Is
a well to do rauchero lu the land of
gold, at Ban Diego, California, and his
statement, if it had no other merit,
possesses the substance of the finest
wrought fiction and a certain indescrib
able charm of vralsemblance, which
will go far with all but a Judicial
tribunal to establish the claim he makes
of being for thirty years a self-disinherited
member of the British nobility.
In the Arthur Orton testimony the
claimant, while making by the aid of
relics and mementoes of tbe lost heir a
perfectly coherent story, every proba
bility was thrown out of joint by his
complete forgetfulness of all that related
to his youth. The real Roger Tlch borne
had beeu born and brought up iu
France, yet Arthur Orton couldn't
speak or understand a word of the
language. The real Roger had enjoyed
the careful education of the Jesuists,
yet Arthur Orton could not tell whether
the iEneid was written in Latin or
Greek. Arthur Ortou was a gross,
ill-educated, unrefined sailor. Tbe
present claimant is the opposite of all
this. He rememberB distintly his child
hood. He names the play fellows with
him at the Jesuit school. He names
and describes his tutors. He names
incidents In which persons still living
can contradict or corroborate his recol
lections. He revives scenes betwixt his
father and mother that no one but an
intimate could have known. He assigns
the motives to his aunt, Lady Doughty,
which rendered his love for Kate
Doughty fruitless, and be unlocks the
mystery of the famous lost package,
sent her fumily solicitors, which, though
the object of prolonged search, could not
be produced on the trial. He declares
that document contained a foolish vow
that he had made, that if he ever wed
Kate Doughty he would rear a chapel
on the Tlchborne estate worth 200,000
francs. Whereas Arthur Orton declared
that the document contained a confes
sion of his seduction of his cousin.
He left Europe to avoid the enmity of
his aunt, who was passionately averse
to his marriage with her daughter Kate.
That he had heard her protesting to
mutual friends that her daughter should
never marry that " French dog." The
story is coherent and conclusive so for
as the circumstances and motives go.
Nor are tlie reasons of his long disap
pearance and obscurity improbable. He
crossed the South Atlantic and through
many vicissitudes reached tbe heart of
the South American continent, when
his body servant, who he believes was
sent with him for his ruin and murder,
left him stunned and mat med from the
results of a full from his horse. Tbe
native nurse, whose name he gives, and
even the village and tbe landmarks,
said that he couldn't live, and the
rascally servant robbed hltn and fled.
The narrator recovered, but had com
pletely lost his mind. He was a maniac
for a year or more. He then drifted
through many adventures, served in
the rebellion and wus wounded In front
of Richmond lu 1801. He finally settled
In California, having married mean
while a Miss Williams, of New York.
All his children are called after the
Tlchborne traditional family names.
No reader can finish the account with
out the conviction that 'the man is
telling the truth, and it will not be
surprising if, as he alleges, so soon as
he shows himself to the friends of his
youth, he will be rehabilitated. The,
result will be a singular vindication of
the penetration aud trustworthiness of
the English bench, which, in spite of a
national outcry, swept aside the plausi
ble fabrications of Arthur Orton, whom
half of England firmly believed then
and believes to this day to be a wronged
aud persecuted nobleman.
A Sleepwalker.
Miss Battle Lord is a pretty girl, who
lives In Clinton, on the Bangor, Maine,
railway. One cold night she got out of
bed from her mother's side and went to
tbe nextxoom. Her mother missed her
from her side and followed her, where
upon Badie, in tbe thinnest of night
garments, made a dash out of the door
and ran almost directly in front of the
express train, which came thundering
along the track. Tlie fiighteued moth
er shrieked as she ran after her, but the
t;lrl sped ou her course, and by a miracle
just missed the train. On she dashed
into the darkness and barely escaped
drowning In the deep and turbid river
Kennebec. The mother had the church
bell rung, and all tbe men that could be
summoned In the night made a search
for the missing girl. Bue was found far
from home, sleeping under an ox-cart
lu a farm-yard. During all this time
the girl was in a profound sleep and was
surprised and terrified when she came
to her senses. This phenomena of som
nambulism is very curious. People
have been known to take risks when
unconscious, that would appal them if
awake. They seen? to be able to see
with their eyes shut and to know the
perils of their path with all their senses
apparently closed to the outside world.
There is a very pretty and popular opera,
entitled "La Bomnambula," tlie heroine
of which is a young girl who, on the
night before her marriage, wandered
into a strange gentleman's room. Her
lover thought she was unfaithful, but by
a happy accident, he and his friends
saw her the following night walking
while asleep and crossing a dangerous
bridge over a mill stream, which no one
would dare go near in their waking
hours. Of course all ended happily.
The Worst Liar He Ever Met.
Among the inmates of a county in
sane asylum in a neigboring Btate is a
man who is often perfectly sensible, and
when accosted at such times causes visi
tors to wonder why he is confined there.
This Inmate entered inttl conversation
the other day with a caller whose dress
proclaimed him a clergyman. Bald the
madman ;
"It was too bad, was it not, the killing
of Grant at Chicago ?"
"It was," said the minister, who fol
lowed the accepted custom of assenting
to the statements of lunatics for peace
sake.
"Hayes was assassinated at Cincinnati,
was he not V" again asked the lunatic.
"Yes," replied the clergyman.
"And was not Queen Victoria mur
dered in her palace?" To this query
from tbe madman the clerical visitor
once more answered in tlie affirmative.
The lunatic, with "damnable iteration,"
named, one after another, a dozen living'
royal personages, all of whom the clergy
man was led to admit, had been put out
of the way. Finishing his catechism,
the madman turned on tbe clergyman
and said, fiercely :
"Your dress shows you to be a minis
ter, but you are tbe worst liar I ever met
in my life!"
0"The meaning of "ss" that occur
in nearly all legal documents and adver
tising is not generally known. The
symbol Is derived from the Latin phrase
"suso solutans" I. e.,' greeting or ad
dressing Us own, those within its jurisdiction.
42T Most of the shadows that cross our
path through life are caused by standing
in our own light.

take it with good effect. It builds them
