I guess it was her talk that Bent me into the army, or maybe I wanted more fightin' aster that lively brush I had with Dick and his gang; but I enlisted, fit the Texans, and atter a year went East with the Colorado cavalry, idin' that same big white of the stage team that I took such a shine to. He carried me faithful, till he died in battle, as a brave soldier might, givin' me most a hu- man look of good-bye as I staggered to my feet when he fell, one arm useless at my side. There was a man rid by -me the seoond night out from Denver that had a big gray that looked mighty familiar, 'n though the feller had growed a big, black beard, I knowed him. The men who'd been with him called him "Fightin' Dick." "Hullo," I says, "you've got the big gray back ?" " Bought him of an Injun, Bill. How is it, enemies or friends, are you still on the Apache trail ?" " I believe in "givin' any man a chance," I 'says. "For the sake of the old lady that you ein't fit to call mother, I'll etan' by you if you're on the square." When I drifted outer a hospital in Vir- ginia, a maimed old hulk, my heart yearned for some one to pity me,'n I went to Siloam 'Maine. It wast summer time, and the woods, as I trimped along footsore and hungry, seemed peaceful and as Heaven. A moon-faced boy with bulging blue eyes was ahead apiece, driving a line of cows, their bells horney-sounding enough after the blare of trumpets. I sue a gray old farm -house standing on the edge of pine woods, then I hurried and asked him of her. He give a startin' off on the run. " Mis' Sprowl, he's come he's come !" he shouts, and seems Dick had wrote his moth- er I might be along. She come down to open the gate. A pretty woman in the door was wipin' her eyes, n a lonely old chap like myself felt kinder of a sudden he had a home and folks that cared.- They was all patriots in that village. Why, jest wear - in' my old blue over -coat to this day, on a parade, makes the kids cheer. I meant to visit 'em a spell. I had a little prop'ty, but Pm there yit, grand- father to Liddy and Diok's children, gall' Sunday afternoons to the grave of the sec- ond woman- I cared for. I can't forget, though, the lone grave of the first, where the scarlet cactus grows, and where she lies with her great eyes wide open to eternity. There was a brass band in Siloam in war days; the bound boy played the big drum 'n practised the Devil's tattoo, bit every pan 'n milk pail 'bout the place. .When wounded soldiers come home there wits great adoo of welcomin"em • the band goin' to meet the stage, used to slteer the teams till they was used to it. The spring of the end of the war, lots come back wounded before the muster out, 'n none was forgot in the way of noise. I had to do most of that bound boy's chores, he was so busy, but when they all come trooping back, a line of blue coate, to the wimmen who wept for joy 'n them who wept for sadness (some didn't come, you know), we was down to the village, Liddy Somas 'n me, but Dick wan't there. We come home lonesome enough to the brave old soul waitin' at the gate; tired, too, she was with cookin' all day the things her boy liked. I couldn't eat no supper, but set on the stone wall, down the road, watohinh The bound boy with a. pail, 1n old Waite, the loony forty-niner, with his fife, went miles beyond the village, the bound boy set on havin' music. It was nigh dark when I heerd, fur off, old "Yankee Doodle ".played • with fife 'n drum he cheerful like,- then I jumped down to see. A big gray horse ceme along under the trees, a noble beast, tossing hie proud mane, quiverin' to the music; his rider, whose tall head touched the droopin' branches, eivung his hat as he paased, but his lips were tremblin', nor could 1 speak. I fell in be- hind with the queer procession—and bow the bound boy did pound! Fur off I heered the brass band coming, playin' Hail Columbia" out of tune as they hurried. A little straight figure was at the gate, all a tremble. Liddy came down and stood beside her, when he alighted,'n though he'd writ Liddy for a year parst, 'n wore her picture next his heart, he turned to the little figure first to hold her to his breast. The bound boy and his gang fell into tune with the band and gave a rousing perform- ance of "Yankee Doodle" till you couldn't think, to welcome home the bravest soldier of the village—Captain Richard Sprewl. So in the blare of trumpets, the shriek of the fife, the rattle of the drum, the renegade came -home. • ET SPECIAL &PPM:STUMM, SOAP MERINO told mother I won't go.

"I want you, Mister Hunt;oon, ,to make him git up n go; he's able, but he says he wunt quit that bed." a nice duck to fight you now," I said, " when he might 'a shot you that night, his horse bein' all that saved his doin' of it,' Torn the knife again, Bill," he says, "you're the kind that would three times arter you'd stabbed." I thought a moment. '4 Dick," I saye, slow, " the old man in there—his name is Wileon—had a son killed overe a card genie in Red Gulch. There's one man he'd Byrom to wipe out to git even, a tough called Icicle Dck. For my part I wouldn't let carrioa like you loose, but your ma's word is law with me. Git up and put on you're hat. He don't know—you're pale as a corpse. I thought you bragged on your nerve." "I'll go you two old Apaches," he cried, jumping up, "but I'll be even with you,Bill Huntoon.' I was glad the soldiers was e.bcard. I thought he might be ugly, but I helped -him up perlite as could be, he was weak yet, 'n there watching us was old man Wilton, his gray head bare, doing the agreeable to Mrs. Sprowl. I gave Dick one look and he quit Irani% keeping his eyes on the horses till we was off. He never ssid a word all the -way, but the old lady was mighty p1eased at the Rockies, quotin' Scripture 'bout the mountains rejoicin' and the little hille skip - pin' like lambs, and conversing with the eoldiers about the war ---she being full of it and proud of the two bound boys that en- listed. When we drove up to the village I bad my hands full with the teams, which ginerally come up on the run, 'n I didn't look at Dick till we come to a standstill 'fare the hotel—a log building with a big piazza, where a loc of men was sitting, then I see the old lady had a tight grip on his arm. She held it, too, after they was down, and when I was ready follered me to my house. Them men is hard up on the porch, there, Richard," I says. "1 hey'd jump at $500.' In the cabin, still miatrustful, I stood with my back to the door and took out my gun. He sat down smiling, hie fingers in his vest pockete. " Well, mother, I suppcee you brought me here for something?' "1 did," she answered, awful, solemn, a kinder set look in her bright eyes, a faint pink on her wrinkled cheek that made me think of a russet apple winter kept, " I'm a very old woman and I've come a long way to find my Sona, robber 'n a disgrace to, hie dolks, yet it was desist, for I'd never b'litived no one that told me.

It ain't far to the place they calf Camp Elbert, and you'll go along of us to tenet." • He jumped up with an oath, but she stood firm, lookin' up at him without a mite of fear. " You haven't a gun, Richard," I says, " There'd lots outside waitin' te hear of Icicle Dick." "1 suppose," he sneered, "you'd like to have me shot in the first fight, you'd get all father's property then." "It was all left to me," she said steadily. "Even if I died it -won't be your'n, but will go to your children—Jotham had it so in the will." "It's hard for a man's own mother to grive him to his death." "id rather you were in your grave then to think you'd gone back to your evil ways. It's God's mercy you hadn't met with a ehameful death before thta." He wavered a momeht, lookin' mighty queer. Then, with the °Rd smile, he said slowly If you wish Linen to be White as Snow, Sunlight Soap will do Well, old lady, you have won ; you've got me trapped, maybe, into doing the square thing. I'd like to, for your sake. Come on." I followed 'em to Camp Elbert, down a pieee on Larimer Street, where with her he went in and wrote his name: "Richard Sprowl ; age, thirty eight; Siloam, Maine." Then we went away, she and me, leaving the United States to take care of its soldier. In the morning she was ready when the coach started, and as I was drivin', she had the beat place.

GRAIIA?J. • In a neighboring moth lay Ferdinand de Lesseps himself, poor, broken old man, asleep ; Whileot a table near by his 'young- est children played and drew pictures si- lently, and another child piked out an ex- ercise very eoftly upon the piano, for their father liked to find them about him on waking. Newspapers lay ready to his hand, also, should 'he wish to read, but these were the journalof e year ago. The invalid, knowing nothing in his childieh state of the trial going on, news of which might be fatal to him, his wife had procured a file of papers a year old and gave him one every morning on its proper date; and this he would look over contentedly, supposing he was reeding the latest news of the day. Time passed and ,no news, Hours went by. At length a despatch came addressed to the visiting reporter, and centaining in- formation that both father aud son were condemned to five, year's imprisonment. Not daring to tell the stricken family all their misfortune at once, he told them first of the eon's condemnation' for which they were partly prepared, andan hour later , when their outburst of grief had subsided, broke to them the yet bitterer news of the old man's sentence. Macfame de Leeseps could Sleet believe it. She seemed turned to stone. When at length the spoke, it was quietly and with dry eyes, in words designed to comfort her children. "Ferdinand de Lamps in prison !" she murmured once. "Truly I as myself if I am dreaming !" What sadder picture could there be of the darkened cloyed an eminent career? That Ferdinand de Lesseps, old, and nottfar from the end of life, will serve even a day of his sentence is not believed ; but that the sentence was justly pronounced is plain. A great name carries great responeibili- ties, for the very reason that it is possible to misuse it, as the long honored name of De Lesseps has been misused, to shield the guilty and to decoy the ignorant. A Great Man's Huragiation. The downfall of a great man is always a melancholy spectacle, but the circumeta,nces attenaing the disgrace and condemnation of Ferdinand de Lesseps and ,his eldest son Charles for complicity in the frauds of the Panama Canal company have been peculiar- ly moving and impressive. Madame de Lesseps, the devoted wife and mother, has had the sympathy and respect even of the most bitter enemies of those dearest to her. Clinging to a belief in their innocence as long as possible,—until the con- fession of Charles de Leeseps himeelf de- stroyed her faitb,—she has since then ex- erted every effort to mitigate public feeling against both, and to guard the sick bed of her aged husband. Even after the confession she feared only for Charles. Ferdinand de Lesseps, she thought, must be protected from the storm of wrath against the, fraudulent directors then raging in France, by his age, his hon- ored name, and the memory of his past ser- vices. "They will not dare to touch that glory," she declared to her friends with mournful pride. She was mistaken. A reporter going to contemplate putting them into a book I was filled with fears for the success of it. I be- lieved my personality unknown to the pub- lishing world, and it would be hazarding it, at any rate. But, happily, I was like ,the ostrich; while I had been permitted to hide my head, my identity was well known, and when I did look up and show my face, the public was both glad and amused to see me. "That was how I began to write. I did not know I could do it, but I have kept at it ever since, and am always much obliged' when this rheumatism will allow me to use my pen."

Chickens and Tomatoes.—Cut the chick- ens, well cleaned, into joints, and fry them on both sides in pork fat and butter (mixed half and half) to a light brown. Put them on a hot platter in the oven. Turn a pint of boiling water into the fat left in, the fry- ing pan, and add to it a small onion chopped fine, a little chcpped parsley, and a 'Lute cupful of etewed tomatoes, with One tablespoonful of butter rolled into one tablespoonful of flour. Let the mixture stew for 15 minutes; then pour it over the fried chicken and serve boiling hot. Roast Beefsteak.—Take two or three pounds of rump steak, out into one slice, and cover. it with a- stuffing of stale bread chopped fine with a small onion, a little sage and pepper and salt, and a large piece of butter, or a slice of salt pork chopped to a mince meat. Spread the dressing on the ateak, roll it up tight, and tie a string around it, or skewer it firmly together, and roast for 40 minutes, basting it frequently with drippings from the pan. Cold Veal in Moulde.—Boil a knuckle of veal slowly for two hours, or till perfectly tender, with only enough water to cover it, and skim it well. rake out the bones, remove the gristle, and chop the meat very fine. Boil down the liquor till only a pint remains. Season the meat with pepper, saln and tomato catsup. Line a pudding or at, blew -mange' mould with hard-boiled eggs, first rubbing the mould with butter. Strain the liquor, when well boiled down, upon the meat, and put the whole into the egg -lined mould. Set on ice for twelve or more hours. Cut in thin slices. This will make a nice breakfast or supper dish of jellied meat. .ROOT AND BRANCA the poison in. your blood, however it may have come or whatever shape it may be taking, is cleared away by Dr. Pierces Golden Meclical Dis- covery.

Shillaber'a own ac- count of how he first began to write. It was the day after his wife's funeral, and while he himself was prostrated ,with grief, and suffering from an attack of acute rheumatism, that he related to his physi- cian and thoseobout him how he came to be a "scribbler "1: "1 didn't know I could write till I was thirty years old," said he. I was a printer on the Boston Post—and I don't know why it was, but if the others were away, or out, 1 was entrusted with such official work as receiving the communication, arranging and distributing copy, etc. There was a good fellow, whose duty it was to write the poems when Occasion required. This was about the time that the Irish Question was calling for algood deal of sympathy, and the Post's poet Was nailed upon to write an appeal. ' Hie inspiration was rejected. I was preeent when the poem came in and was re- jected • and, having lots of good feeling for the fellow. I was considerably 'riled' at its rejection. The Post wanted its poem, but how to get it, they didn't know, so I spunk. ed up, and said I believed I could do some- thing myself. I would do something for the honor of the Post and to fill my friend's deficiency. So I sharpened my wits and my goose - quill, and before long had my article writ- ten. I got a friend to take it over to Char- lestown, and mail it there, as coming from some of the Harvard students. Well, in the meantime, I experienced all the fever- ishness of the young literateur's dreams. Then one day, while I was doing something in the office, while the others were out, I saw my article on the desk, marked Devil- ish good.' I tell you I went home that .night with a, feather in my cap as long as your 51111. "1 wrote one or two more after that, and then took courage and began to hand in my contributions myself. No, the name 'Part- ington' did not, of course, originate with me. I had always been very much impress- ed with that saying in Sydney Smith about Mre. Partington mopping back the tide of the Atle,ntic. It was the idea of perse- verance—of successful perseverance by small means. I was always thinking of it, in all manner of ways, and at all times. So, one morning, I—sent in a paragraph with that name, because that name was always uppermost in my mind. tI ought to say • here, perhaps, that at that 'particular date the Western grain crop were of greatest intereet. So I wrote: 'Whether the grain crop is goad or bad, Mrs. Partington says a half a dollar's worth of flour costs lust the same.' "It was the public sentiment I touched. After all that was' being said and written that was the situation exactly. Just a line began to What One Woman Did. A New England farmer in reduced cir- cumstances contrived to eke out a living by hawking vegetables from door to door in the nearest coast town. A young daughter Wag his housekeeper, fellow -laborer in the fields and companion on the road. She was a bright girl, with a hunger for knowledge which her meagre schooling had only served to set on edge, When her father jumped from the wagon to go indoors and sell his wares, she remain- ed behind to watch the horse, and employed her leisure moments in studying a Greek grammar. In the small, resolute head on her shoulders, there was room not only for her father's accounts with his customers,but also for inflections, conjugations and parad- igms as dry as his sandy garden in midsum- mer drought. The father died, leaving to this silent, motherless girl a house and a truck farm,but no money. She was forced to support her- self, and not knowing how to do anything else she went on,with farmwork and vege- table peddling. She wore high top -boots, dressed like a man, worked in the garden with hoe and rake as her father had done, took care of the horse and mold vegetables in town. Toilsome as was her life, she had an anti- dote for lonlineme : the study of Latin and Greek. She did not know how it was to be done, but she did not despair of fitting her - .self to be a teacher. Her well -thumbed grammar was always on the wagon seat when she drove to town. Her voioe could be heard on the road rettling off the conju- gation" of the verbs. When her supper was cooked and eaten, she had an hour by candlte light over the easiest classical authors, and they proved hard enough for her, poor girl. An eminent lawyer, enjoying an outing in the coast town, caught eight of her in one of his drives. She had been hoeing corn, and while resting under a tree was studying her favorite grammar. - The devotion of this hard-working girl to Greek excited his admiration. He made her acquaintance and offered her the position of private secretary in his office, with leisure for completing her education. an exhibition of his boat at Vienna, and after a similar exhibition in Rusida, Em- peror Alexander II conferred upon Mr. Francis the badge of the Itniglichood of Saint Stanielans.
