A STORY. SUCCESSFULLY TOLD.
Pretty, plump Mrs. Archibald Steele
wrote the following paragraph in one
of her letters to her husband the other
day:
" John must come down here at once,
whether you can spare him or uot.
Our dear little Laura is greatly taken
vith a tall, thin, youug man with a
molted nose mad thin lips, celled Stud-
vesaut. It is whispered about the, hotel
that it is a very good match. ansi hat,
tbe veritable blood of the old Dutch
Governor in his -veins. I must say it
has a very poor way of showing
for the young man is as pale as a spec-
tre, and dressed in that white duck,
with his sunken eyes and bilious skin,
is enough: to frighten one.. I have
grown to -hate him, while Laura is
growiug to do quite the contrary, I'm
afraid. Alt the eveuing he leans up
ainst the wall, never dancing, or
opening his mouth, save to give vent
to some hateful sarcestic criticism upon
the scene around him, and yet dear
Iiitie Laura's eyes—as, indeed, all the
other pretty oyes about—ftre perpetual-
ly beseeching him for attention. In
the day -time he is elways with a long
black horse, that covers more ground
with its legs when it is going than any
enimal I ever PJLW. When Laura gees
out to drive behind it, and vaniehes out
of sight with the bony creature, I teem-
tle to think how dreadful it would be
ifour dear tittle girl would ever become
part and parcel of this wretched nam
and his wicked beast. So 1 thiok John
had better come down at once, I quite
long to see his handsome face and hea
his honest voice, and I think it is about
time John should tell his little story to
Laura and have things settled comfort-
ably."
Mr. Archibald Steele smiled wheh he
put the letter in his pocket, and picking
up the paper, scanned through his spec-
tacles the news of the day. Finding
nothing therein to ruffle. the satisfac-
tory condition of-affairs.'he put it down
and smiled again as only a prosperous,
contented merchant,can smile. He was
one of those happy exceptions to the
ordinary rule of mortals, With who'm
everythiog went well. His whole ap-
pearance was an exclamation point to
that effect. If he ventured a little
hazardously in trade, fortune trimmed
her sails to favor him. If he set his
heart upon anything relating to domes-
tic felicity, all the elements of art and
nature conspired to bring it about. Sc.
when he went to the door of his office
and beckoned to a young man with
strip of commercial paper in his land
and a pencil behind his ear, with that
general air of briskness and shrewd-
ness about him that betokened it suc-
cessful merchant in embryo, Mr. Steele
smiled a third time, with the air of one
who was not at all afraid of eery obsta-
cle that might be thrown in the path of
a domestic happiness which he firmly
believed had been arranged by an om-
nipotent hand:
" John," said Mr. Steele, closing the
door, of his private office, and looking
upon his young clerk benevolently,
" I've got an order here from Mrs.
Steele, which I wish you would attend
" Certainly, sir," said John. "Shall
I go out and get the articles myself 2"
•`" " Why, the feet is, John," said the
merchant, enjoying the joke more and
more, "It's only one article—a rether
bulky one. It was bargained for long
ago. I think you will have tergo with
it, John."
"Down to the sea -shore ?" Said John,
getting a little hot and flustered. "Is it
a very valuable parcel, sir 2"
" Well, perhaps yoor natural modesty
may depreciate its worth, John. Mrs.
Steele and I think tr, good deal of it, nod
Laura, ton—I'm sure she does. The
commodity is yourself, John, Mrs,
Steele wants you to go down and take.
a, tittle holiday there.

flustered and hot than before.
" You are very' kind, Or," he said.

"Why, who would suppose you could
be such a coward?" said Mr. Steele,
impetuously. " You shall go down with
me this very day." .
• All the way to thedsea-shore John's
faCO wore the look Of One W110 had
resolved to storm a deadly breach,
but who did not hope to survive the
attempt.
Even the ocean, when it confronted
them, wore a threatening look, Upon
the horizon a pile of clouds formed a
hack -ground wan and gloomy, a great
black mist lay in the zenith, a dense rod
vapor almost touched the water.
"A very nasty sea," said Mr. Steele,
John snuffed it in, his eyes dilating,
his broad shoulders expanding,his head
high in the sea -scented air.
A tramp on the hard wet sand, and
like a meteor a lone black horse shotby,
disappearing in die mist, leaving for
John the memory of a, charming head
crowned with blonde curling hair, two
Rind eyes bent upon his own, a white
waving hand extended in salutation.
"John," said Mr. Steele, "did you
see the face of that man? I count
upon your saving
Laura. Did you see
his thin, cruel lip, his treacherous
eyes ?"
"I only saw Laura, sir," said John
simply.
Later on, Mr. Archibald Steele and
his idiimp, pretty wife were alone to-
gether in their private parlor. _Her
dimpled. hamds lay lovingly in his, her
sbapely head, fresh from the hands of
the coiffeur rested recklessly on. his
shoulder.
Suddenly the door opened, and there
was heard the rustle of silken drapery.
A still shapelier little head, and fresher
from the hands of the coiffeur, all un -
rumpled. by the audacious touch of a
Mortal, pooped in at the door. Laura
was pale ; her little wnito hands were
clasped together ; her musical voice
trembled.
" Oh, papa, mamma, come directly.
Mr. Stuyvesant ventured too far,and—
and-e"
" Was drowned ?" said Mr. Steele,
with a peculiar combination iu his voice
of pity and relief.
"Oh, no ; ho•v could you stippoee so
dreaciftil a thing ? He was resened,but
he is very weak end ill. Ho has asked
for 1110 --and may I go 2 'Will you
come with me, mamma, ? Oh, do, I beg
of you! Caul she paps, ?a
Hee bine eyes filled with tears ; her
little feet seemed panting, to lly through
the corridor.
• " Certainly not," said eta Steele.
"Let him wait till he is able to come to
you or to Me. Either theman it drown-
ed or he isn't. Because he was inibe-
cite enough to risk his life, that is no
reason for your being the talk of the
hotel."
Laura raised her head proudly.
" No danger of that, papa, and be-
sides, everyone is occupied with the
one that rescued him."
"And what, mad man was that 2"
said poor Mr. Steele, who could not
reconcile himself to the preseat state of
affairs.
• "I don't know ; a strauger, I believe ;
I was so interested in Mr. StuyVesant
I forgot to ask."
"Bah 1" said Mr.Steele, getting upon
his feet alai walking to the door ;
aotand find out about it. You stay
here till I return."
Before he had gone far Mr. Steele
heard from the excited guests several
different versions ef the affair ; but one
and all agreed that the rescuer could be
nothing less that a companian swim-
mer.
"A regular water dog," said one gen-
tlemen to Mr. Steele ; and as he had
heard this epithet mired but once before
in his life, and the, on an occasion of
vital interest to hipaseltrhe sought out
the hero of the hour, and found to his
unbounded astonishment, that i was
John Waters himself.
He was quite enveloped in the
flounces and furbelows of:a pretty and
sympathetic woman, who insisted upon
knowing every half second if he was
sure he falt strong and well, and how
in the world could he , buffet those
dreadfulwavos in thet grand hetoic way
and how did he manage to drag dear
Mr. Stuyvesant in the shore ?"
John, hke any other lzero of the hour,
enjoyed this womanly adulationdeut he L
looked anxiously at Mr. Steele when he
approacheo.

chant, "a pretty fellow you to interfere

you know he wanted to he rescued 2"
"Ho appeared[auxious that way, sir,',-

been for one of those very Lvagabond

have lost Os both, nay dear, for I made
an agonized plunge after her, though
I'm ashamed to say I could not swim a
stroke, and should only have gone to
the bottom like a plummet of lead, but
an official standing by caught.and held
me, end cried out that Johnny Waters
had her safe as a trivet; and presently
that vagabond boy came up with your
sweet mother on the other side of the
boat, aud an official cried out, "He's a
regular water -dog, that Johnny Wat-
ers !" And these -were the very words
a guest here used in rielatien to John a
minute or two ago."
" John !" cried poor bewildered
Laura, " OUIt Johii ? MILI111110, ? My
mamma ? Was; mamma the lady ?
Was John the boy? And is it John,
°ea John, that saved poor Mr. Stuy-

Laura, forgetting all the years that
had passed since the accident, and.

" 'Yes, clear," said Mr. Archibald
Steele, and all the way through the cor-
ridor and into the Parlor of the hotel,
with his plump and pretty wife on one
arm, his lovely daughter on the other,
and smiled.
But John was still surrounded by the
pretty and sympathetic women, who
cruelly deserted the blue-blooded de-
scendant of the Dutch Governer,
lying in his most gracefal and languid
of attitudes on a neighboring lounge --
the desceudant, riot the Govenor—ancl
had flocked one all to the hansome and
heroic founder of the new school for
teaching people the way to be rescued
from drowning.
These charming creatures spent so
much of their time at the sea -shore,

John was almost hidden in flounces

with his usual ease and intrepidity.
There was something in Laura's eyes
that never was seen there before ;
tempting liingour, a bewitching, shy-
nesset bewildering splendor,that steeped
his soul in masi sweet love. •
Laurastopped one moment to whisp-

to Mr. Steele.
"If I dared ---if I only dared to toll

" I've told her myself," said the mem-

"That I was a pauper, without home

"I told the story in my own way,

flatter myself I told it successfully;
clou't spoil it, if you please. I have
managed tho past and the present ; do

And John did, Laura walked

Of Wit woels,MTS, Mary W81t011 was
killed by Greenleaf Tritey, and he .then
killed himself. Oe the Norridgewock

ing ninety fter00 oflaud, and occupying
a one-story house. He is the 'father of
a numerotis fdmily, several of his Child-
ren having grown up to manhood. One
of the boys Greenleaf Tracy, WAS also.
married anh the fatherof six children,
He was thirty-five years pf' age,and hie
wife a peaceable, wellTbehaved woman,
has worked in 8 cotton factory at Lew-
iston for three or font. yeers past, while
lser children haese been supported ta,
her., husband's relatives. Until with-
in four years, Greenleaf Tracy was
a sober, industrious young luau, living
happily with his wife, end it was not
until he took his abode near the Wal-
ton House that a change Was noticed.
The Walton Howse is in a field, it short
dieatnco from the Traeys, Hiram J.
Walton, the owner, is an inoffensive
farmer of humble means, about fifty
years old. His wife was about forty-
three years. They had lived together
for twenty years, and two boys had
been born to them.
Mrs. Walton, who was pretty, tidy,
simple and trusting, was frequently
visited by Tracy; but Mr. Walton's
suspicions were not aroused until one
day in the fall his wife ancl Tracy were
missing. Two weeks later they re-
turned, and the husband- received his,
wife as though nothing had happened.
Twice afterward Mrs.Walton and Tracy
disappeared, and the last time they
wore absent for a year. Walton obtain-
esi a divorce, but his wife reappeared, in
his house about two weeks ago, he re-
ceived her cordially and promised to
forget the past. She seemed to be peni-
tent, and said that she would not again
desert her home. Tbe husbaud also
exacted a prlaise that she would not
see Tracy again, and she wrote to
Tracy that he 1111011 1101 see her again.
After the receipt of this letter Tracy
refused to eat and could not sleep. On
Paley morning he drove his father's
horses to the neighboring town of
auds after buying a pint of
rum, tried to borrow a revolver, but
failed. Hethen borrowed it double-
barrelled shot -gun and returned to his
father's house. The father apprehen-
sive that the son was bent on mischief,
demanded the weapon, but eireenlea,f
refused to give if up. He went to the
Walton house at about 11 o'clock, and,
calling -Mrs. Walteu to the door, asked'
her to go with him. She refused, and
tried to dissuade him, saying, "For
God's sake, for the sake of my boy that
is dead, and the living enes,don't fire."
He then shot her in the break. She
fell dead on the spot.
The murderer ran a few paces, stop-
ped, turned thiound and looked at the
body. He smiled,then he turned again
and ran into the woods. Soon after-
ward three or four yells feud the report
of a gun wore heard, and the neighbors
found Tracy on the ground., half resting
against the tree, dead. In their indig-
nation some of the neighbors proposed
that the body be burned where it lay,
and they began to gather fagots fofthe
purpose,; but Tracy's aged father arriv-
ed and dissuaded them, tura they bore
the corpse to the father's house.

AN OSTRICH HUNT.—The greatest feat
of an Arab hunter is to capture an ota
trich. It ie the largest of living birds
and probably the swiftest of all living
animals. Being very shy and cautious,
and living on the sand plains, where
there is littler chance to tette it by sur-
prise, it can only be captured by a well-
planned and long-oontinued pursuit
with the swiftest horses. The ostrich
has two curious habits in running when
elate -sled. It always starts with out -
tiptoed wings against the wind, 80 that
it can econt the approach of an enemy.
Its sense of omen is so keen thatit can
deteet a person at a greati distanee long
before one can be seen'. The oilier
curious habit is that of limning ite a
