A Mnu Wlio Lived With UU
Widow.
IT was In the autumn, Just before tlie
opcnltiK of the rnllroad between Ta
gnnrtik and Cliarkoir, and I had to make
the tedlotiH Journey with post horBen.
For the first two dnye weather was
pleasant, hut on the third morning the
heavens were covered with heavy, grey
clouds, a northwest wind blew furiously;
thunder, lightning, and snow flukes
followed such a storm as can only be
found In Bouthern Ilusila. In hair an
hour the roads were Impassable with
black mud, and as we reached the post
station Donskl we found there was no
more progress for that day. As I enter
ed the station I was met by a tall, fine
looking, grey-hfclred man, whose black
velvet coat ,w!lli .buckward Grecian
sleeves mudd bio judge him as holding
some military of ofllelal position. Ue
hlnd him came a handsome Cossack
woman about his age, and both greeted
me kindly. In reply to my request for
a cup of tea, the woman said, " Husband,
ask the gentleman if he would not liken
roaat chicken with his tea. It will boa
long time before he can mount his troika
and continue his Journey and he will
find the chicken tender."
As she said this she glanced lovingly
at tho man, and then left the room, not
before he had waved a kiss to her as she
closed the door.
"Bho Is my beloved wife, and widow,
Blr," said he, turning to me as I took a
seat by the porcelain stove, warming my
hands on Its smooth sides. "Hatha!
you laugh, sir, but wait until you are
eating your chicken, and If you wish I
will tell you the history of a man who
lias been dead fourteen years and who
married his widow." Of course I was
eager for the story, and soon after when
my chicken was brought to me tempting
and warm, he drew a chair near my el
bow and commenced his story.
"l ain nearly sixty years old now,
sir ; my wife also. 15ut she was once a
beautiful, good, young girl; she is as
good now us then, and perhaps I am a
partial Judge, but I find her etill beauti
ful." To this lust statement I assented, and
he continued :
"I was a wild young fellow, high
tempered, and of a roving disposition.
I was postmaster of the station when I
married Olga. At first I was contented
she was a loving, good wife but I
grew weary of life, and restless for free
dom. One day, it was iu the "year of
1B4S, she seemed sad, and coming to me
put her arms around my neck, and said,
" Do you really and truly love me, Wan
ska V" I answered impatiently, " Oh,
yes, you know I do." "But you dou't
love me as I do you," she contluuedi
In that moment an evil spirit must
have seized me. I don't know what
thoughts passed through my braln,only
it seemed as if she wus right. I loved
her in my way, but it nettled me that I
was bound to her for life, and I wanted
my freedom. As she cluug to me, I
pushed her violently away, and Bhe fell
to the floor. Klsing slowly she looked
at ine reproachfully and left the room
without a word.
" I was wild. , I ran to the stable.
" Harness me a troika instantly," I crl
ed to the hostler. " There is a dispatch
left here by the courier that I must take
to Charkoll; make haste." Iu a few
minutes the wagon was ready. Taul
took the reins, the bells Were ringing
clearly in the fresh air, and without a
backward glance for Olga, I was flying
from the station, and In twenty hours
I reached Charkoff.
" Dismissing the wagon, I went to
the postmaster, who was my most inti
mate friend. I called for Ink and pen
and wrote a letter, which I gave to him,
saying, " Do this favor for me aud be
silent. I want to leave my wife. In
eight days send her this letter and ask
me no questions." la this letter I
wrote j
"Oloa When you receive this let
ter I shall be dead. Forget me and
marry some other man who will treat
you better than I have done. Forgive
me for striking you ; it was a shameful
act. Keep the station, you can write,
aud can hold it as well as I. Heaven
bless yoti. , Wanska,"
" My friend shook my hand and
promised to fulfil my errand, and a few
hours later I was on my way to the mil
itary bureau of, where I told I want
ed to enlist for fourteen years in the
Horse Guards and gave them a different
name from my own. I was tall and
healthy, and they were very glad to ac
cept me, asking me a few questions.
My hair was cut short, my beard shorn,
aud iu my new uniform, with a glitter
ing helmet ou my head, I rode through
the streets of Bt. Petersburg, and no one
to know me among the thousands who
looked at us as we passed by. I was
ambitious, and learned the routine of
soldiers life quickly. The discipline
was severe; it was hard to be obedient,
and as for the freedom I had longed for,
I found I had lost it. I wus soon a ser
geant, and finally became a captain of
horse iu the regiment.
"I won disjunction iu the service.
In the war with Turkey and later the
Crimea my time was up, and I was
seized with a most terrible homesick
ness, for of late years I had learned to
love my wife passionately, and to see
her again, even (hough she were the
wire of another, wa my one thought.
I wondered If she had changed In all
these years ; if she had grown stout as a
beer cask or as tlilti as a corkscrew. I
wan offered many advantages If I would
remain in the army, but I refused them
all, was honorably discharged, with a
good pension, and the same day started
for the south, my heart beating wildly
between hope and fear. I reached Cliar
koir, and found that my old friend, the
postmaster, was dead. My heart faint
ed with the thought that Olga too
might bo dead.
" Who has the past at Douskl V" I in
ed, crossing myself under my long mili
tary cloak.
" A widow," was the reply.
" ' The same who held it fourteen
years ago?"
" 'The same," came the answer.
" In eighteen hours I was there. I
knew the two old men who unharnessed
my horses. They were former servants
of mine. Hut they did not know me In
my uniform. 1 hastened to the en
trance of this house, then into the office.
Olga sat at the desk writing and seemed
unchanged to me. True, her face was
more sad, and lu her beautiful black hair
I saw a few silver threads, yet she was
still beautiful.
"I stole In, Olga, dearest!" I whls
pcred, and sank on my knees before her.
Bhe didn't look at me, but threw her
arms In the air; her head fell upon the
desk heavily. Bhe hud fuinted. I
sprang to her, took her In my arms,
while I told my story and begged her
forgiveness, and the angel forgave me.
That was sixteen years ago, sir, and the
years passed like spring days. We have
been always so happy."
After a pause tho delightful old man
continued :
"Hut what do you think the stupid
government at Bt. 1'etersburg insists
uponV That I am dead, sir, and the
Donska post-station must remain in the
hands of my widow; or else the guards
man of the Cuirassiers must be dead,
and lose bis pension. My widow laughs
over the dilemma. Bho keeps the books,
signs the receipts, and pays the taxes.
I draw my very liberal pension under
the name by which I enlisted, but as the
former postmaster of Dunskl I am a
dead man. This Is my history, sir.
There may be some who don't bplleve
it, but we and our neighbors know bet
ter." I thanked the good man for his inter
esting story. And his wife, soon enter
ing, took liis hand, saying:
" Ah, my husband, I fear you have
wearied the geutleman with your oft
repeated story. Come with me that I
may scold you," and they went ofF
'laughing together, he, with a look of
love iu his eyes that showed plat nly how
much he valued wife and widow.
Curious and Comical Errors.
A COLLECTION of errors of the
press of the malignant type would
be one of the most entertalulng chapters
in the "Curiosities of Literature."
Borne year ago the London Times, in
speaking of a discussion before the
Council of Ministers, when Lord Brough
am was Chancellor, stated " the chande
lier had thrown an extraordinary light
on the question." In one of the editions
of Davidson's Popular English Gram
mar the principal parts of the verb to
chide were given as follows: "Present
infinitive to chide ',2Ht.Zif7e I chide;
past infinitve to have childreu." In
the London .Courier, some fifty years
ago, His majesty George the Fourth was
said to have a fit of theyoat at Brighton.'
Another Journal advertised a sermon, by
a celebrated divine, on the Immorality
of the Boul, and also the Lies of the
i'oets, a work, no doubt, of many vol
umes. The London Globe once gave an
extract from the Registrar-General's re
turn, in which it was stated that the
inhabitants of London wore suffering at
that time "from a high rate of morditj.,i
A letter more, or a letter less, makes
a strange havoc of a sentence. What is
treason, once asked a wag, but reason to
a t Tf which t an accident of the press
may displace with the most awkward
effect. On the other hand, a printer
who omitted the first letter of Mr. Has
well's name might have pleaded that it
was os well without the H. A ludicrous
effect was produced by the change of a
letter In an article in the Revue des
Deux Mondca. The writer, being at
Venlce.quoted the first line of the fourth
canto of Byron's Chllde Harold, which
the printer rendered thus :
" J stood at Venice ou the Bridge of
Sighs."
Borne years ago an editor at theouth,
wishing to congratulate General I'illow
after his return from Mexico as a battle
scarred veteran, was made by the types
to characterize him as a "battle-scared
veteran." The indignant general, rush
ing Into the editorial sanctum, demand
ed an explanation, which was given, and
a correction promised In the next day's
paper. Judge of the editor's feelings on
the morrow, when, as if to heap horrors
upon horror's head, he found the gener
al styled, In the revised paragraph,
"that hot tie-scarred veteran!" This
was less excusable than the blunder of
an English Journal, which staled that
the Itusslan general Kitcktnoffkowsky
was "found dead with a long word In
his mouth ;" for no compositor could Le
blamed for leaving out a letter In a sen
tence after setting up such a name cor
rectly. Many years ago, In an article on
the subject of literature for children, we
wrote : " It is true they will devour the
most Indigestible pabulum, for want of
better." The lust word of this sentence
was transformed by the typographical
Imp Into butter. Perhaps the most fear
ful .error of the press that ever occurred
was caused by the letter c dropping out
of the following passage In a "form" of
the Common Prayer: " We shall all be
changed In the twinkling of an eye."
When the book appeared, the passage,
to the horror of the devout reader, was
thus printed: " We shall all be hanged
in the twinkling of an eye." Borne
years ago the editor of the Portland (Me.)
Argus undertook to compliment an emi
nent citizen as "a noble old burgher,
proudly loving his native Btate;" but
the neatly turned , compliment came
from the compositor's hands "a nobby
old burglar, prowling round in a nuked
state." Tills is almost matched by a
telegraphic blunder of which Kev.
Joseph Cook tells. Not long ago Ernest
Kenan had occasion to telegraph across
the British Channel the subject of a pro
posed lecture by him lu' Westminster
Abbey. The subject as written by him,
was " The Influence of Home on the
Formation of Christianity." It was
announced In England as "The Influ
ence of Kum ou the Digestion of Humanity."
Mary's Lesson on Tariff.
"Father, what does tariff meant' I
heard brother Charles say he had been
discussing the tarifl at his .debating so
ciety last night."
" Well, Mary," answered the gentle
man, addressed'" if you will take the
pains to get down the dictionary and the
atlas, I will help you to And out the his
tory and the mystery of the word tariff."
"The atlas, father?" said Mary In
surprise; " why that is where I look for
places straits and gulfs and rivers and
townB, but I never should think of
looking into an atlas for the meaning
of a word."
" Well, we Bliall see, daughter," re"
plied her father ; and if the readers of
this will do as Mary was directed to do,
they will be likely to remember the
meaning of the word tariff' and perhaps
to learn something. " Tariff means a
list of duties imposed by a government
upon goods imported into its territory
from other countries. For instance'
when silk goods are brought from Eu
rope to this country, the United Btates
Government collects at the port of entry
from those to whom the goods are sent
a certain fixed proportion of their value
In money, and this amount is called the
customs duty. All money so received
goes into the National Treasury."
Mary's brother, and a number of his
associates had been discussing the ad
vantages and disadvantages of the pres
ent system of tariff in this country. In
the debate, there were, of course, two
sldeB. On one side it was argued that
the Government should collect only
sufficient duties to pay the expenses nec
essary for its maintenance. On the oth
er side it was held that whenever, owing
to cheap foreigu labor, goods manufac
tured abroad could be sold in this coun
try at prices lower than those of similar
American products, a tariff duty should
be Imposed. This, it was argued, should
be sufficient to raise the price of foreign
goods to the standard of American
manufacturers. All this Mary's futher
explained to her. He explained.
morever, the definition given of tariff
for revenue only to the former proposi
tion, and protective tariff to the latter
proposition.
By this time Mary was anxious to
know the use of the atlas, and a further
reference to the dictionary was found
necessary. Guided by the suggestions
there made, which are founded on Arch
bishop Trench's "Study of Words,"
Mary and her father turned to the map
of Europe. They then looked at Spain.
They noticed at the southern point of
that country, aud running out into tne
Straits of Gibraltar, a promontory. This,
as Dr. Trench says, is admirably adapt
ed for commanding the entrance of the
Mediterranean Sea and watching the
passing in and out of alt ships. A for
tress stands ou this-promontory called
Tarifa. The name is of Moorish origin,
and was glveu in the days when the
Moors ruled Spain. It was their custom
to watch from this point all merchant
ships going by. Then issuing from their
stronghold, they would levy duties upon
the merchandise carried by the vessels.
The levy thus made was known as " tar
Ifa," or tariff," and thus, Trench tells
us, we have acquired the word.
After all, with due respect t lier
brother'sdeliatlng society, Mary thought
that the most Interesting feature about
the tariff was the derivation of its name.

An Emphatic. Lesson.
It was a lesson that a poor laboring
man gave to a gentleman for whom he
sometimes worked.
John had an unfortunate appetite so
some called It for strong drink ; and
though he never drank to Intoxication,
yet he spent much money for spirits
which ought to have been expended for
the comfort of his family.
One day while John was at work at
the parsonage, the parson took occasion
to chide him for his habit of drinking;
and he did It rather dlctatorlally. Bald,
he:
"You ought to know better, John. .
Or, knowing better, you oughtto do beft v
ter. I am ashamed of you. Your nose;
Is fairly blossomed with the toddy you.
have drank."
" Indeed, sir, and do you never drink.
yourself? retorted John, considerably
nettled.
"And If I do, what is that to you V
Look at your condition, as compared
with mine. And, further, I do not
make a sot of myself."
" Heaven forbid that I should ever
think It sir. But,your reverence,cau you
tell me how It was that the streets of
Jerusalem were kept so clean all the
timer"'
The minister was obliged to confess
liis Ignorance.
"Well, sir, said John, with a tight
ening of his lips, and a suggestive nodr
" it was simply because every man kept
his own door-way clean I"
And thus ended the lesson.
Crinoline Booming Once Again.
The effect of fashion upon business is
shown by the fact that enough crinoline
cannot now be obtained to supply the re
newed demand. A few years ago, millions
of dollars were invested in its manufacture .
thousands of bands were employed ; inven
tors puzzled their brains for improvements
in the hoops or skirts. The fashion chang
ed, aud all this industry ceased as if by
magic, and hoop-skirts, banished from
polite society, served as chicken . coups in
the country. Now, when the fashion has
revived, the manufactories will have to be
built up ngain. But, as Colonel Boilers
observes, "there's millions In it." Within
a year, all tho old patents, all the old jokes,
all the old cuts and all the old caricatures
upon crinoline will be again available, and
every belle will be hooped up, like a barrel
or a fancy stock.
A Cow that Carried a Watch.
Eber Lewis, butcher, on the West
Chester Pike, near the Eagle hotel, in
Haverford, Delaware county, killed a
cow a short time since, and found in the
cow's abdomen a lady's gold watch and
chain In excellent condition. Joseph
Pritchard, who sold the cow to Mr.
Lewis for $45, bought the watch and
Chain for $30, hence the cow cost Mr.
Lewis but $15 all told. Lancaster Intel

Campbell's suit against ber husband to

wrongful conversion of 200 shares of

Campbell bad placed in a safe deposit

Donohuesays, "are for a Jury to tryr

t3?Tbe notion of wearing stockings
of different colors seems to become gen
eral In London, says "Trlfler" in Sun
day Times, of that city. "An old friend
told me be saw a short pettlcoated lassie
of thirteen the other day in a white dress,
and blue ribbons. Moreover, the dam
sel wore one blue stocking and one white,,
a blue rosette on one shoe and a white
one on the other. ' He says thattbe cos
tume was admirably designed and the
effect was altogether charming. I should
not be at all surprised to bear that this,
new idea bad become fashionable.
One Experience from Many,
" I had been sick and miserable so
long and caused my husband so much
trouble and expense, no one seemed to
know what ailed me, that I was com
pletely disheartened and discouraged.
iu this condition of mind I got a bottle
of Hop Bitters and used them unknown
to my family. I soon began to improve
and gained so fast that my husband and
family thought it strange and unnatu
ral, but when I told theru what had
helped me, they said " Hurrah for Hop
Bitters! long may they prosper, for.
they have made mother well and us
happy." The Mother. Hume Journ
