Sam Norton asked l He leaned forward as he spoke aud peered up into the other's face with little, tviinkling, inquisitive eyes. • It was a dull and hopeless November night.' A heavy gray sky hung low above them. Rain fell, - from time to time, in spiteful spurts upon the sodden leaves through which their horses made their way down the long hill road. Farmer Wilson was not used to driving in a covered car- riage, nor•sitting by himself behind • closed doors while some one else beld the reine,bust it was considered a proper- mark of respect to Sarah Ann. He must hire a livery team for the funeral; Sam Norton had told him so, and had further hinted that it would be but decent to invite the speaker to a seat beside him. "Ye know me 'n her was connected by marriage," ayes his plea. The principal mourner had consented, al- though ,he did not like Sam Norton ; he thought he was spiteful. This was the first speech Sam had made since the hearse and its following turned away, from the country cemetery, and it did not eerve to lighten the gloom in which the ber aved man was plunged. • I do' know," he said, dully, shaking his head covered with an unusual beet hat; " seems if I'm all lost 'thout Sarah An n." "She kep' house for • ye a number o' years." " Twenty-five, come Chris'mus. I ain't never known wot 'twos t' be alone before ranee ma died." "1* was handy," Stnt conceded, "t' have her man taken away jest before your mo- ther. Looked roost Providential, didn't it ? Ye won't find no sech man'ger as she was in one while ag'in, I tell ye. Wot a ohurnin' she,,ed do 1 An' she always kep' ye lookin' BO/ good. Ye'll find out the diff'runoe nOw. Your- collar's beginnin' t' fray. I seen while we was bending over for t' last prayer. Ye'll soon see your clothes goini t' pieces." , He smiled toothlessly, at what appeared to be s keen enjoyment of the situation. Daniel was goaded by it into an assump- tion of confidence that he was fir from feel- ing. . "1 (mitigate t' hire," he said, ooldly. "Of COUTSO I know no one can't do like a man's own sister, an' I s'pese it'll cost like Jehu, but I've got money 'fluff. 'Tain't that.," "Land alive," expostulated Sam, grin- ning 'afresh, "ef ye ain't green. if ye s'pose any nice women 'ud come t' do fer ye, a bachelor living all alone? I sh'd think Sarah, A.nn'd remarked on that before she passed away.' was took worse no sudden," falter- ed her brother, "we hadn't no chance t' make plans. I never gi;we it a thought, my- self. Don't ye -think Priscilly Wynkoop- ehe's real old-" Sani shook his head decidedly. "They're the worst kind, them old maids, No, sir ; they ain't a decent woman In the town o' Hunter wot 'd do it." , • "Then-wot shall I do ?" desperately. " Git Married." The grin widened. Daniel shook hia hest hat again. ,, " No, sir," he said. "None o' that fer " Beggars can't be ohoosers," Sam dealer - ed. " Ye've got t' do it." "‘ You ain't." " Well, I'm diffrant," with a complac- ency hat was maddening to the unfortun- ate m n beside him. "1 ain't got afarm to run. I kin board, 'n look lafter the store daytimes. That's all right. Only, ye see, you're aituated eo onhandy. Ye've got to have ik geed man'ger around. Now, the question is, ,who is she? I've b'en studying it up consisPable." " Oh, ye'have," growled Daniel, not ap. , peened by this show of interest. Who've ye pitched on ?" • . "Wa, they's the widder Sals'bry-" "1 muet say ! Deaf'n adder, n weighs nigh onto three hundred pounds. I'm much obligedvit it: Le' ye d. 'y Peter then-..-" "A little withered old woman with a wig. 'Ain't,ye got no sense, Samuel ?': " Wel, they ain't so , many likely wim- men going. You're terrible particular for anybody so hard put, How 'bout Prispilly Wynkoop?" Daniel was glad that they were dri ing into his own dooryard. He sprang hur ied• ly out, slamMed the door with his clumsy fingers, and did not answer Sam. There was no invitation to enter the 'des late housie, and Sam drove away. " Ye'd better be gittin' about yer courtin', whoever it is, he called back, leering rom the carriage window. Daniel went upstairs to don his over lls, and set about his chores for the night. " Durn it all," he muttered, as he mi ked the cow, "1 don' know how t' go t' w rk ; I ain't no hand with wimmen." rt was the manner ouly that puzzled iim now. He had decided upon his oh ice. Years ago, when they both were young he had "paid attention to Priscilla Wynkoop and had been graciously reoeived. Then his mother interfered. She did not veish him to marry, and he was dependent upon her. Perhaps the disappointment embitter- ed him; at any rate he had long been cop - tent with his life upon thie lonely farm, ie.. mote from most of his kind, and had no de- sire for a change. But, since Sam had put what he mentally stigmatized as "that blamed idee" into his head, he considered with sudden pleasure the possibility of winning Priscilla for some- thing more than housekeeper or general manager. It was the wooing that counted. He thought it ever while setting out his lonely supper of strong tea and the pumpkin pie that had been sent in. While he munch- ed he ruminated.. -1 What' did men, say, and how did they aot ? He could Piot make a bargain with Priscilla as though he were buying her Jer- sey cow. Must be some dumb nonsense 'r pother," he grimly concluded. " Howiloes it go ?" After "clearing away," he seated himself drearily over the kitchen stove to await hie early bedtime. 4 paper covered book lay on the shelf. He picked it up idly -it- had been Sarah Ann's -and opened it at random. It was a oonventioPal paper -backed love tale by "The Duchess.'I' Eight o'clock struck, and nine, and ten. Still Farmer Wileon pored over hi n book, holding it close to his sun -burned feet* and breathing heavil3r over the lunfamiliar words. Midnight came. At one o'clock he laid down the bulky volume with a sten- torian sigh. He knew how the nonsense went. All the rest of that feverieh, never -to -be - forgotten night, theoughout broknn and feverish slumbers, ran such phrases aii these: " Oh,,dny beautiful darling, you will . not be so cruel, "you must see how madly I love sou," "Remember bow desolate my life has been." The last sentence tangled itself in his memory. " That's true " said the -wretched man once, aloud, " jail the rest is a pack of lies." The next day he ret himself doggedly t learn hie lesson. Over and over the word were conned. He went about with the book in his hand, or lumbered heavily bac to it from whatever else hie work might be In fact, he dared not think of anything els save the task laid out before him, for fes that hie purpose might falter before the di impression haunting him throughout that h was a fool. He dressed himself carefully, after a early supper, and marched out of the dor and down the road. Priscilla Wynkoop s little unpainted cottage stood olose to t e highway. Daniel, his lips moving in case less reiteration, knocked tremulously up n the door. He hoard steps coming tower s him. He felt all hands and feet. The e was a suffocating lump in his throat. A tall, spare spinster drew the door ca tiously ajar and gazed out into the glo m through her spectaelea. " Good-eninin'," her visitor blurted out in a loud, agitated voice. "Oh, my beauti ul darling, you know -you must ice how m cl- ly I love you, • and-and-rememer h w desolate mylife has been." Miss Wynkoop held a hand -lamp atret h - ed out in one arm. She brought it closer to stare into his face by its aid. "Remember how desolate," Daniel - peated. ,Miss Priscilla put up her free band to rub her forehead. Was he drunk, or crazy, or making fun of her? He saw the gesture a d interpreted it aright. "Darn th' hull dumb thing," he sudde ly broke out. "I'm jest -I feel -sakes, h w lonesome I be !" " Daafl," said Miss Wynkoop,eyeing h m closely, but speaking in a quiet voice, do ye want I sh'd marry you?' "Yes; Priscilly," wiping hie forehead, "I do." She stood aside fOr him to pass. " Co e in," she said. ." I was jest settin' down to supper. It'll be nice and cozy to h ve comp'ny, 'n I've got some cold pork aid beans.' She led the way to the kitchen. He f I - lowed with heart as light as hie footfall as heavy. "Take a seat 'n draw up," said Miss Wynkoop, bospitably-• "flow ye mus' iss Sarah Ann," " Yes." He sank into a chair. " Th m beans '11 relish." And so they were engaged. -Kate Fiel Washington. • [THE END , A Bit of War Romance, BY W. J. LAMPTON. " -a mason," saki the man of soldie ly bearing, when the drummer had finished a yarn, and am also a soldier, or was in t e late war between the States. I was a general of brigade' in the union army, a d saw some of the romance as well as the e - silty of war." "There was more reality than roman e about it, wasn't there ?" queried the dru mer. "Rather," smiled the soldier, " but it made the romance only the more delightf 1. I remember on one occasion when we we e dowdjn Georgia, where most of the offic seekeri come from now, I was out one mor ing withe a couple of orderlies, riding alo hillsidt road, which jut aheadof us m another eoming up from the valley. As e rode slowli along I heard the eound of a borse's hoofs on the road below and t e clanking of a saber. Node of the enemy n fore was anywhere near that locality, and I felt sure that some stray oonfed was le - ing that way, and we went ahead till e could command a view of the road bele and in a minute a confederate officer a brand new uniform, bright trappings an a fine asiord came by on a beautiful hors He was a handsome fellow, and all unco seisms of his danger, was whistling a merr air. Of course we must capture him, b t how to do it was/a-question at first, but w soon settled on t quiet little ambuscade, an in five minutes more we had him covered and he threw up his hands. A more crest- fallen prisoner I never saw than that young fellow, and Ifelt sorry for him, but I ooul do nothing but take him along. We hadn' gone far until he got next to me, with bot orderlies riding some yards in a.clvance and he gave me a sign. I recognized it o the spot." We are masons,' he said, 'and I 'wan to tell you my story. I know I've got n business over here, practically in your lines, but I'm not on a mission of war, but one of love and peace, You eels how I'm tricked out in aiii the best I've got' -and he smiled oonsolon ly and bliished-`and I expected to be married this afternoon. The girl is waiting for me now, and don't you think it is pretty bard on me for to be in this fix. I had no idea your troops were so near or I should have slipped'in in the night and got out. again, but its too late to talk about thit now. You've got mo and her heart , will be breaking while I am shut up in some, prison, and it won't be much satisfaction to you, will it? • 1 By George I" went on the general, with moistened eyes, "it stirred the blood with- in ; me as I listened to that good-looking fellow and thought of the dear girl waiting fof him. 'Hold on a minute,' said I, there's a tilers in the road yonder, and ,when the or. defiles get out of sight if rou are 'willing to take a risk, suppose you t ke it.' "Ha shook my hand, silently and the taus and smiling came together. , As the or erlies turned the bend the young man turned his horse and started back tlown the road on a deed run. I gave him a good stert and then I banged away at him with my revolver and went after hitn, but I took ttle wrong road at the forks, and my order - lis came after me as fast as they could. I g eas we must have chased back along that road for two miles or more, but we didn't find that confounded rascal anywhere and the orderlies never suspected that I had anything to do with letting him get away. At least, they never mentioned it in my hearing, and the general smiled. ( " What became of him at last ?" asked the drummer.: 1 l' "About four months , after that ' I was, holding a town in Tennessee," continued the general, "and iu that town was the rankest old fire eater I ever .saw. He was a courtly old chap, but bitterer than gall, and utterly beyond reconstruction. He Wouldn't speak to a bluecoat, and there I were times when it was almost necessary to put him under guard for his own safety. He was too old to be dangerous, but ocsosaional- ly he talked so we had to threaten him. One day I was almost startled out of my Wits by his coming into my headquarters. rewas white with suppressed feeling, but managed to tell me diet there was a lady t his house, a very near and dear relative, beenis only daughter, in fact, who wanted to ep me that evening at 7 o'clock, He had been very loth to come to a Yankee, he paid but she insisted so that he was compelled to o so, and then he bowed and went out like an old king with his crown gone. There was no explanation and I told the provost marshal about it and I was going up myself to see what it meant. He was sure there was a trap laid for me and did not want me to go at all, but I told him southern hospi- tality did not betray people and 1 would go. I went,and as I passed through the gate and grounds to the fine old mansion I saw the shadowy forms of my bluecoate all about as silent as ghosts. It was plain the provost marshal was ready to settle matters if any- thing happened to me. However, I never let on, but went in and the old man met me at the door, grimly directed me into the large cdd•fashioned parlor and stamped of down the great hall. I went in and a very beautiful young woman of 22, I should trey, met me half way across the room. " ' You are Gen-?' she amid question- ingly. I, , ,An dbowed. may I inquire why I have been asked here?' I said,without taking the chair which she gracefully passed me. You see I was half uneasy and didn't know what might happen. She smiled. "'1 understand;' she said, and atood be- fore me. ." Then she told me of the young officer I had permitted to escape." " 'But what has that tob, do with thia visit ?" I asked, for somehow I didn't cateh on'. "1 am his wife,' she replied, blushing, and he told me if it ever were possible to see you I must do so and tell you for both of us how grateful we are for your kindness." "Then I began to grasp the situation and I almost fell into the chair she had offered me, and as she talked to me I never was so glad of anything in all my life as that I was a mason and he was, unless it was that I had had the opportunity of doing a favor for so charming a woman. "For half an hour ah talkedto me and then she called her fath r, much against•his will, but as ehe told Jiim the whole eforY tog her pretty eyes spa kled and her obeeka reddened, his fine old fape grew softer un- til at last the tears came; and as she finish- ed he rose and, coming over to me took botth my hands in his, and after shaking them silently he said, 'D n me sir, there isn't a southern gentleman in all this sunny land who shouldn't be proud to be such e Yankee as you are.' "1 thanked him cordially for that, an later on we had something todrink, an thereafter the old" gentleman wasn't the same kind of a man any more. 1 " A week ago," concluded the general, " I visited that couple living in Atlanta; with four bright and happy children about them, all grown, and one of the finest young men you ever saw anywhere bearing xny name." - Patrick's Experience. "Says I, hi Misther Smith itt, sir ?" "Says the man wid the sojer cap, will yez step in ?"

A story told of Gerhardt, a Gorr -nen shop - bent boy, illustrates -the fact that he who is faithful over a few things will become the rulet41over many. Ole day be wen watching his flock, which was feeding in a valley on the borders of a foreet, when a hunter came out of the woods and ‘l nil 'ikowedf:ar is it to the neareet village ?"

Leave your sheep and show me the roar; I will pay you well." "I cannot leave my sheep, sir," rejoined Gerhardt. "They would stray into the wonis, and may be eaten by wolves or stolen by robbers." "I Well, what of that?" queried the hun- ter I" they are not your sheep. The loss of one or two wouldn't be much to your mas- ter; and I'll give you more than you have earned the whole year," " I cannot go sir," rejoined Gerhardt, very firmly. "My master paya me for my timle and he trusts me with his sheep. If I were to sell my time, which does not belong to ine and the sheep should get lost, it would !be the same as if I had stolen them." "veli," said the hunter, " will you truet yo r; sheep with me while you go to the vil age and get some food, driuk and a guido7 I will take care of them for you." The boy shook his head. " The sheep," said he, " do not know yoluevoioe, and-" He stopped speaking. 1 And what? Can't you trust rne ? Do I leek like a dishonest man ?" asked the hunter, angrily. '' Sir," said the boy, "you tried to make me false to my trust, and tried to make me break my word to my master; how do I keoW that you will keep your word ?" iTh e hunter laughed, for he felt that the led feirly cornered him. He said : i" I see, my, lad that you are a good, faithful boy. I will not forget you. Show me the road, and I will try to make it out 'myself." i Gerhardt then offered the contents Of his; sprip to the hungry tnan,whoemarse as it was, ate the food gladly. Presently his attend - lints came up, and then Gerhardt, to his surprise, found that the, hunter was the Grand Duke, who ownedall the country 11.111Tulanedbuke was so pleased with the boy's , honesty that he eent for him shortly after that and had him educated. In after years Gerhardt became a very great and powerful man, but he remained honest and true to ihis dying day. -Christian Commonwealth. 1 Mr. Bruce's Alaskan Reindeer i 1 Experiment Station i "About three years- ago, as the revenue !cutter Bear was on its way to Point Barrow, 1 the northern extremity of United States Territory, and the place at which the G-ove ernment has established a house of refuge for wrecked whalers, she Was boarded by several Eskimos, who came Out in an oomi- ak, or large akin boat, from a small and un- til then unknown native settlement. By means of signs these people conveyed the in- formation that they were starving. Captain Healey, the commander of the Bear, im- mediately sent an officer ashore to investi- gate their condition.. Upon his return the officer reported that while some of tbe na. lives were already dead and dying from starvation, the eurvivors were eating their ,dogs, their most valued possession, and the one with which they will not part save in the last extremity. "A subscriptionwas immediately taken np among the officers and crew of the Bear. "One hundred dollars was thus raised, and the ship was headed for the distant trading port of Fort St. Michaele, where the entire sum was invested in hardtack. With this supply of food the Bear returned, as fast as steem and sail would carry her,to the starving People who had called upon her big-hearted crew to aid them. "Captain Ilealey's report of this destitu- tion, and of the many similar oases that he encountered during that cruise, caused the authorities at Washington to investigate into the condition of these moat northern wards of the nation, and devise measures for their relief. It was finally decided eo import and domesticate reindeer from Si- beria, as these animals could be protected from hunters, and would at !emit assure the natives a supply of food and clothing. I was placed in charge of the reindeer experi- ment station or ranch, at Port Clarence, not far from Point Barrow, where I have now been for nearly two years, and where the complete success of the undertaking has been demonstrated. In a few yeare we con- fidently expect to be feeding our own starv- ing Eskimos with an Abundance of reindeer meat."-Harper's Young People. Cardinal Newman's Gentleman. Somewhere in his writings Cardinal New..., man thus describes his idea of a gentleman: "He has his eyes on all his company. He is tender toward the bashful, gentle' toward the distant and merci- ful toward the absurd." In his con- versation the gentleman will remember to whom he is speaking, have thought for all the company and avoid allusions that would give pain to any of them, steering away also from topics that irritate. When he does a favor to another -and he does many -the gentleman will somehow make it appear that he is receiving the benefit instead of conferring it. " He is never mean or little in hie din- putes." Moreover, he showe that he has an intellect far above the average :in the fact that he never mistakes, personalities and sharp sayingsfor arguments. Most of mankirad do. When grief, illness and losses come to him 'he submits to pain because it ia inevitable.' Bereavement he takes with heroic philosophy because it is irreparable. He goes to death without a murmur because it is his .deatiny." The Discoverers. A principal of one of the grammar schools in Savannah„ian old-time Irish peda- gogue, relates an ncident which is well worthy of repetition, and is indicative of the aptness of the Irish youth. One day while he was instructing his class in geo- graphy, the Bishop of the diocese happened in, and, as is the custom, propounded some questions te the scholars. " What parts of the globe comprise the old and new world ?" was readily and correctly answered; and when asked who was the discoverer of the new world, one powerful chorus answered, " Christopher Columbus." "Now, my little men," said the Bishop. "you have told me who discovered the new woild, but can any of you tell me who discovered the old world ?" A dead silence for a few sec- onds, when a little chap named Mahoney, the son of a shoemaker, held up hie hand. " Well, my little man," said the Bishop, "let us have your answer." The surprise of the teacher and Bishop can be imagined when the youngster replied in a voice show- ing confidence in his answer, "Adam and Eve, my lord." -Savannah Press. , In the Surrogate0ourt of the County of Huron.
