Dome Margery has a lilac bush
That grows by her cottage door,
And there it has blossomed its purp
Full twenty five years or more,
For she says,and a quiver goes over
“John planted it here for me, .
That morning before he sailed in the ship,
That never came home from sea.”
lc flush
her lip,
To every boy and girl that goes
To school by the kind dame’s door,
She gives a bunch of purple blows,
Till blossoming time is o’er.
She loves to have and she loves to give,
And the good dame says, “You know
The way to keep, you’ll see, if you live
Next Spring, is to bestow.”
Ma’am Allison lives across the street,
And her lilac tree grows high :
But away she drives the little feet
When. they come her lilacs nigh.
“Dame Margery’s blooms will soon be
gone—
Shc’s foolish seems to me;
I’ll not be breaking my lilacs down
For every child,” says she.
Spring came. Dame Margery’s bush was
full
Of wonderful, perfect bloom;
In royal purple beautiful,
deportment. She seemed at times more pro.
occupied; at others, elated, mirthful, almost
wildly happy; particularly on these days
when it seemed probably Harry would come.
I began to share in my wifes anticipations,
and began to watch Harry. He did seem
exactly like an impassioned lover.
About this time my wife said to me one
day that Susie was receiving letters from some
far off friend. - .
“I notice when they come; sometimes I
hand them to her, but she never mentions
them again. Shouldn’t you think she would
speak about them ?” asked my wife.
Susie‘s movement’s we‘re now of importance
in my eyes. How bad that plain little girl
contrived to captivate handsome, popular
Harry Lonsdale, the most exacting fellow in
his relations with women I ever knew? The
thing certainly was done.
Susie came out in a new character. Her
gray dresses were brightened with exquisite
bits of color. She spoke to my wife of need—
ing new dresses, and to Nellie’s astonishment
bought herself several. Then came ornaments
few, but choice and costly.
' “Where do you suppose she gets the men—
ey," asked Nellie.
“How do we know but she may be rich
and eccentric?" was my response. “You
pitied her, and thought her a poor lone girl,
but her father may have possessed property
to a large amount for all we can tell."
Nellie shook her wise head.
And fresh with its sweet perfume,
Ma’am Allison’s tree had of blooms not one!
The last year’s seeds were there;
But in vain she watched till Mry was gone,
For purple blossom fair.
Dame Mnrgei-y said, “Ah! don‘t you know
If last year‘s blossoms stay,
The next year's buds will fail to grow
Till these are broken away ?
For this year's lilacs cannot live
With seeds of last year’s Spring."
Ma’am Allison learned that she must give,
If she would have a thing.

Granny Carrigang’s Cap Box
My wife’s cousin was a slender, old-fash-
ioned looking girl with quiet, retiring man-
ners, and a habit of gliding about with al-
most noiseless movements. I used to call her
the little gray ghost.
It seemed to me,when my wife first broach-
ed the subject, a Quixotic notion to take the
girl home with us; but Nellie’s heart is so
large and loving!
“Just think of the poor child alone in that
wilderness l” she said, with pitying eyes;
“and we have plenty and to spare."
“So has Aunt Cheney.” —
“Yes,—but she lives in the backwoods, as
solitarya place as can be found. The poor
child has had no mother for years, her father
has ,been an invalid ever since she was 10
yea’i's old, and new has gone, it does seem
hard she should be condemned to selitude and
old Annt Cheney. At least let us invite her
to come for a season. Let us give her a mo-
ment of pleasure poor girl. She willbe so
delighted,so astonished with this bewildering
New York.
I consented of course, as good husbands
are in duty bound to do, and on a certain
October afternoon, drove to the station for
my Wife’s cousin. I knew her the moment
she made her appearance,though I had never
seen her before. The .little creature ap—
pealed to my sympathy at once by her inde-
scribably forlorn appearance. So small, so
while, so timid! her lustrous gray eyes, her
only beauty. roving around startled to un-
wontcd lustre. .
“Is this Susie Myriam?" I asked
“Yes ; I was beginning to feel a little fright-
ened at the confusion,” said she: “you are
Cousin Nellie’s husband.”
I led her away from the crowd, and she
was silent and strange the whOleEway home,
utterly preoccupied» with the sights to be seen
at all hours in our great metrdpolis.
From that tibial-Susie was ‘one of us—I'
mean in all that pertains to the manners and
customs of the household; and yet I could
never feel any nearer degree of friendship
than. that with which I welcomed her the first
day to our pleasant home.
“She is so handy,” said, my wife. “You
don’t know how many little things she does,
and yet I can’t prevailjipbn her to take a
single present from me.’,
“She don't care for little vanities,” I said.
“Don’t she! she's as fond of nice things
as anybody, I’ve found that out; but she
has an absurd notion that unless she earns
costly jewelry, she won't wear them; wont
be dependent even on me. for the most trifl-
fashioned pearl brooch that you always liked
so well, and I offered it to her. No, insist
as I might, I could not prevail on her to
accept it. I have tried again and again to
tempt her, for really, I have so many useless
things that I don’t wear at all, but it’s no
manner of use. ‘She’s the most obstinate
little creature I ever saw.”
Time passed, and I became accustomed to
the slight gray figure sitting beside my wife
or flitting about like a contented ghost.
Wife had found a companion for her solitary
hours and I was glad. , Together they haunt-
ed the picture galleries, the art saloons; to-
gether theyshopped, drove in the park, or
lunched. .
“Whom do you think we met to-day ?” my
wife asked me one evening, when We were
alone together. “Of all men in the world,
Harry Lonsdale, whom, I havn’t seen since.
he returned from Europe, and he has a pic—
ture at Lozier’s that everybody is going
wild over. It is a beautiful thing—you know
I never could talk art-jargon, but it satis-
fied me as pictures seldom do. When I saw
him, he seemed quite as much absorbed in
studying Susie as she was in studying his
picture. You don‘t know. how pretty she
looked. You needn’t smile John for her

Harry saw me, and came straight up to where
we Stood. I told him how glad Iwas to know
he was getting famous, but he only nodded,
and said eagerly: - ' «
“That young :lady seems to be rather in—
terested—I am flattered."
“Yes, that’smy cousin Susie,” I replied,
“Your cousin! pray introduce me, and——
John, as sure as you live, that will be a
match."
“Nonsense,” was my rejoinder. I knew
Harry .‘Lorisdale, and Susie, was not by any
means his ideal. Harry liked (lashing, hand-
some girls; vivacious, magnetic girls of that
Tresylian style, with oval faces, languishing
eyes and haughty lips. He had sketched such
to me by the hour, and I knew some of the
young ladies with whom he seemed to be on
very friendly terms. The idea of his fancying
this cold gray little creature,with no figure to
boast of,and some; so sedate and quiet that
she was seldom neticed at all, was preposter-

“Well, we’llflsge," said my Wife, "With that

“But Harry didn’t give it to her.” I asked ,ling like the culprit I felt myself.
' were in love with her yourself.”
“I don’t believe he left a cent; indeed.
what am I saying 2 it is a matter of certainty
that he did not, for Susie told me so herself.
Besides, she would have got fine things fast
enough, scores of times. I’ve seen the look
in her eye when I’vebeen shopping at Stew—
art's, suggestive of emptiness of pocket and
anguish of spirit—for you see now What love-
ly taste she has. But I wish she wasn’t such
a secret thing, that’s what torments me,;_I do
like to be confided in.”
What followed made that conversation
memorable. Some months previous I had
received the sum of $3,000 for a small piece
of land. This money, ,or a part of it, I had
occasion to use, I went up to the closet in
my room, one side of which served as a safe.
To my utter astonishment the money was.
not there. I searched the closet through,
and then called my wife for a consultation.
Together we looked in every available
place, cleared the shelves of the library,
searched thrOugh all the closets, bureaus,
boxes,trunks, nooks that the house afforded;
but in vain, the money was gone ; no signs of
bank bills anywhere. '
“Where could you have put them i” asked
my wife, tired and discouraged.
“I put them in that closet; my key has
been up in that little box on the end of the
mantle-piece ;:I have never been to the closet
since I left the money there, but some one
else has, it seems.”
“None of the servants but old Hester ever
comes into this room,” murmured Nellie,and
I would stake my life on her honesty.”
“Of course, so would I.”
“Three thousand dollars; why John, that’s
a large sum to loose." ‘ _ '
“Large or small, it’s gone.”
“But where f" my wife queried, perplexed
and anxious. “Who could have known it was
there ? Peeple will do such miserably strange
things sometimes. ‘
“Yes, I have spoken of having that amount
by me, two or three times, but no one was
present but you and Susie. It was an abom-
inable careless thing to do, leaving it lying
loose instead of putting it in the bank, as I
should.” Day‘ after day we looked for the
money, speaking of the suspicious to no one
until finally we gave it up for lost. A week
after this, Nellie came to my room with it
“It’s so strange,” she murmured, “and I
hate to have such thughts; but John,where
could Susie have got that splendid solitare ?”
she whispered. .
“What soltaire,” I asked.
“You have not seen it? she wore it today
for the first time."
“1 suppose she’s engaged—Harry-gave it to
her and she said no.”
“The deuce l” was all I could say.
“And John, it really looks alarming, the
number of costly things she has been buying
of date. Thirty dollars for a parasol, 'only
think! dad mine don’t cost twenty ; a box
of the dainliest gloves; everything by the
dozen."
We looked at each other in silence.
“About the richest black silk you ever
saw—better than mine. The material must
have cost a hundred dollars; what will the
dress come to' when -it is made up '1’"
“What can it all mean ?” I queried.
“Don’t ask me; I'm heart-sick at the
thought of it. It’s a miserable business, can
it be possible f—but no, I won’t say it. Cer—
tain it is that she has business relations with
some one in the city. Half the letters she
gets are not Harry’s.”
“I wonder if the fellow loves her ?"
“Loves her, he warships her."
And he will make her his wife?”
“Of course he will.”
“What is our‘ duty in that case, do you
think. Nellie '2”
“For heaven’s sake say nothing about it,
John. - Remember, she is my cousin, and it
isn’t as if We were poor. I’d rather loose five
thousand than to have any trouble Of that
kind.” ‘ .
“It’s terribly unpleasant,” said I.
“Of course it is—horrible. ‘ And she‘s so
happy, so thoroughly happy,that it’would be
a pleasure to look at her if one didn’t think,
didn’t dread—oh John, John!” and poor
Nellie hid her face in her hands.
And still the purchases continued. Nellie
and I said nothing—never asked a question.
now, but were all the 'time watching,misera
ble and unhappy.
Susie must have noticed the change in us,
but she was so preoccupied with her love
that she probably attributed it for some other
cause. '
Harry was now a constant vistor. He
came to my office one day, and with almost
radiant face, told me of his love for my wife’s
cousir. "I hope you do not object,” he added,
when I heard him 'rhrough. .
“Whysh‘ould I?”' I asked. “She's only.
Nellie’s cousin." ' .
“Hang it mam-you’re cool enough about it,
anyway,” he said. Can’t you get up a little
enthusiasm when a fellow is half beside him-
self with happiness? You don't want her to
go, eh P"
“I am quite willing," I answered, ‘but I
confess there’s no accounting for tastes. She
is very far from the person I fancied would
he the choice Of my fastidious friend, Harry
Lonsdale.”
. “Ab, you are thinking of our old discus-
sions—but let me tell you she is perfectly
beautiful in my sight, and little short of a
divinity. Her eyes are certainly glorious,
and then her charming, winning little ways
and her perfect taste! Jove! what exquisite
taste."
“That’s true,” said I. _ _
“Well, come, old fellow, I'm glad to hear
you own up something. I’ll be blest if I
shouldn’t think, were you a single man, you
My answer quite satisfied him: “If I were
single, and she the "only woman in the.woi-ld,,;
I w'ouldn’t‘ marry her. ” ,
Whew ! 'well,"that’s what I calla trifle de—_
cided,” he said, and went off out of temper.
Several weeks-passed. Susie had notified
my wife of her engagement. She could not
- but-he aware of the constraint in our manner.
Nellie and I had frequent talks together over
the strange good luck that had seemingly
overtaken Miss Susie. The disappearance of
my $3,000, and her sudden accession of cost-
ly dresses and jewelry, did' look, to‘ say the
least, suspicious.
One day, on my return home, my wife in—
formed me that Susie was intending to leave
us.
“She came to me this morning,” continued
Nellie, “and told me that Aunt Cheney had
written saying that she had a great deal to
do, she thought it better to have the wed-
ding outfit made there. I said to her, ‘wc
thought you would be married from here,
Susie.’ She looked strange for a moment,
for she must have seen how little heart there
was in words. Then she said Aunt Cheney
expected the ceremony to take place there;
had, in fact, been making great preparations.
Besides, she quite wanted to see aunty’s
withered old face—~and there she choked.
She is going tomorrow night, and is packing
now."
I would have given the world to be able to
say I was sorry, but the truth is,her presence
had become hateful to me; I wanted her to
be gene.
We were very polite to the last. I saw
Susie off in company with my wife. Harry
went with her the happiest man I ever saw.
It was a relief to behold the vacant chair,
her place at the table, to miss her gliding
movements, and feel that we could talk and
and do as we pleased with! no spy or eaves-
droppcr in the way. Nellie missed her for
a time, and often talked and wondered about
her. She answered her first letter,end de-
clined to attend her wedding, but the second
letter remained unanswered.
Not a great while after that, Harry took
a house in the city for his bride, and I saw
him occasionally. Towards his wife I on-
tertained a feeling of strong aversion. It
was she who had broken up the dear old
intimacy, for Harry and I had been famous
friends, and now he never called at‘the of—
fice. ’
We often henrd of Mrs. Lonsdale‘s recep-
tions, her dinners, her perfect taste, her faci«
hating manners, but we never called.
It was late in the afternoon season' before
we prepared to take our annual flitting into
the country. I had sent most of the house-
hold goods, which always accompanied us,
and gathered enough together for the final
load. Nellie came up 'to inspect them.
“Where in the world did you find’that old
cap-box ?" she asked, laughing, “and where
have you installed it on the top of all the
other packages ?” ' '
“Don’t you know the box, Nellie‘l” Ire-
plied; “it was grandmother Carrigan"s the
very one in which showed to put her old
black cap. Why, I can see her face in it this
moment,and what upon earth l” I exclaimed
cutting short my speech.
My wife had pulled off the deep cover of
the box with some exertion,and theresnugly
packed together, staring us in the face, were
the missing bank notes.
Nellie and I stood dumb with dismay,
looking first at the box and then at each
other.
' “Oh, John! poor dear, innocent Susie!”
was her -first exclamation.
“What witchery is this i” I responded;
“how under the sun did that money ever get
there ?”
“John dear, how unjust we have been!
“Don’t make me think any more meanly
of myself,” said I. “I could sell John Car-
rington, money and all, for sixpencc.” .
“John, what could she have thought of
as t” »
“Suppose you go and ask her, dear i" .
“I will; I’ll go right there,thn; I Would-
n't have this weight on my conscience an
‘héiir longer for more than twice that misera-
ble money.
Let us give the conclusion in Nellie s own
words : .

a beautiful little palace of a place itis, John

but Iclinched my hands and sat up straight.
Presently Susie came in." ‘
“My dear cousin 1” she exclaimed in her
soft, musical voice—“then you found the
money!”
“Imagine my consternation l” Not a word
could I say. I was so shocked to think she
knew.
“‘Don't look so distressed,’ she said gently,
‘don't feel troubled about it. It was quite
natural—perhaps. Mistakes willhappen in
the best regulated families,’ she added, smil-
ing."
And you really knew about it i”
“Yes I overheard you once, without mean-
ing to, but I was too proud to notice it in the
least; Ionly began planning how I should
get away and try to keep the knowledge from
Harry.”
“What! .you never told him i" .
“Never; why should I? I gnly led him
to think that you were not agreeable to me—
forgive me, but how could I help it,smnrting
under such an indignity. But you have not
said whether you found the money.”
“Yes we have, and cousin Susie, you are
an angel,” I said. .
“ ‘Very far from that," said Susie,smiling.
“I have often tried to excuse yeti to myself,
for circumstances were certainly against me
particularly when I spent so lavishly. I
could not explain the reason then; I can
now. My half-brother forged papa’s name
for a few thousand dollars years ago. My
father, for my sake, and the honor of the
family, let him go clear with his ill-gained
booty.
"Some months ago, he, learning that papa
was dead, refunded me the money by instal-
ments; pledging me to secrecy,” he did not
wish It known even that he was in existence.
So I kept the secret, because I promised him
I would. One week ago I received news of
his death.” _ -
“And so,” concluded my wife," “I asked
her forgiveness for our unjust suspicions,and
I—I—tcli you John, she is an angel."
I have no doubt of it. But how did that
money get in my old granny’s cap-box.
From that day to this I have never learn-
ed, and it will probably always remain a
mystery. ‘

while they may in their hearts blame the Sea-

The Tribune satirizes the Democratic ex—
tra session thus, as the .
Bluster and Back Down Congress
The Demodratic party has special reasons
for remembering the present called session.
It has been, as we have heretorc pointed out,
in every respect calamitous to them. They
have done nothing that has not damaged
them ; attempted nothing that has not ended
in failure. It may as well be called the Blus-
tcr and Back-Down Congress. With a record
by no means deficient in instances of bluster-
ing proclamations and bullying threats, fol-
lowed by ignominious defeats and abject tail-
turnings, the Democracy have in this case
fairly outdone themselves. They have not
only “tapered off” in their organized threats
and their caucus manifestoes, but their indi—
vidual performances have been of the same
character. Their great leaders have been
continually announcing gymnastics,fireworks,
and pugilism in a way that excited public
attention and gave promise of a dusty tussle
in the congressional arena, and then either
forgetting all about it, backing down uncon-
ditionally, or making a feeble show of wrest-
ling, which ended in their having their own
costs to dust. The general back-down has
been accompanied by so many individual
recognitions of the “better part of valor”
that the whole session has had no other fea-
ture. At the beginning of the session it
seemed as though nearly every Democrat in
the House had made up his mind to destroy
a Republican, had announced his purpose,
and named his man; While the general proc—
lamation against the Administration was as
fierce as that of certain Jews who banded
themselves together to slay Paul.
In the Senate, there was Thurman, with
blood in his eye, and a definite proposal to
take the scalp of the President; there were
the raging Voorhces, the “impromptu” Beck,
the impetuous Eaton, and. others, all with
their work laid out and the funerals of their
victims appointed by the Democratic press
of the country. And new we are nearly at
the end of the session, with nothingjn the
world to show for all the blaster except a
new illustration of the adage that “threaten-
ed men live long.” There was that delight—
ful old gentleman, Eaton, with his program-
me for “jumping on Blaine,” and his funny
forgetting of it for so long, and final retreat,
boasting as he fell back that very few men
, had the courage to admit their mistakes, but _
he had. The gifted Voorhees upon one
occasion, after calling for some information
concerning election methods in New York
from Senator Conkling, and getting what the
reader of The Record will readily perceive
was an overwhelming bellyfull, promised to
attend to Senator Conkling’s case later, in a
tone and with a mariner that ‘had rhetorical
eutlasses in them—and he, too, forgot the
engagement. The country heard the anf
nounccment son. time ago that Mr. Ben Hill
was getting rea y to "‘fiay Blaine alive.”
That performance came off on Wednesday.
and was so very far. from flaying that it read
more like a confession and plea in mitigation.
And how long have we all been waiting for
Mr. _Proctor Knott to issue his demolition of
the Veto Message, which ’was.to leave noth-
ing of the message, or the President, or the
Republican party? That discharge came
yesterday. It was so heavy that the Demo-
cratic organs couldn’t print it, and The
Herald advises the Republicans to publish it
as a campaign document.
So we might lengthen the list; but to what
purpose? The party as an organization began
with blaster, louder even than that it habitu-
' ally indulged in, and the individual leaders
seemed to be under the influence of the same
“craze. They havé been in session now three"
months,and at‘ every point backed down,
tapered ofl“, or been sent to grass. Call it the
Blaster and Back—Down Congress. -That
name fits it.

A Washcrwoman at Leadville.
now sun oamnn AN INCOME or $1,000 A
MONTH.
But it is. not alone in mining operations
that fortunes have been made. Mrs. Sarah
Ray, an old Irish washerwoman, who was
among the earliest settlers, has a somewhat
romantic history. Her stock of trade, when
she came, consisted of a pair of tabs and a
washboard. She began business under an
old pine tree on the hillside, having no means
of hiring a house. She soon, however, got
together with her own hands a rude slab'
cabin, and, as business was good at two dol-
lars and a half a dozen for washing she grad-.
ually began to provide for her wants. She
got a camp stove. and, after furnishing her
cabin comfortably, began to accumulate
money. The town began to grow in the di-
rection of her cabin, and after awhile she-
emplOyed laborers to put her up a log house.
As there was a great demand for miners’
boarding-houses, Mrs. Ray concluded to
abandon the wash-tub and start a boarding-
house in her new edifice. In this idea' she
received great encouragement, and the house
was opened with flattering prospects. In this
venture she proved to be very successful, and
made money and saved it. By the growth
of the city, herfiuse finally got to be in the
very centre, and, as the streetswere laid out,
it provcd'to occupy a location on the corner
of Harrison avenue and State street. Busi—
ness was good, and she continued to make
money, which she invested wisely. She
built another log house and rented it. Then
she put up a frame building, which was
rented before it was finished. About this
time some of the land-grabbers disputed her
title to the land, and tried to dispossess her.
But the old lady had so many determined
friends among the miners that the effort was
given up. Several months ago she refused an
offer of $10,000 for her property, and since
that time has built a two-story block fronting
on Harrison avenue, and as desirable a piece
Of property as any in Leadville. She still
lives in her log—house, but she now intends
to tear it down and erect a two-story brick
block in its place.

The Weber Piano ranks foremost amongst
the best manufactured. William Mason.
The Weber Pianos stand first amongst the

DISEASES of the Threat and Lungs are the

of our fellow beings are carried to their; early
grawcs and final rest, every year by thcxprmce of
terrors “Consumption.” In many instances this
fatal malad secures a victim who at first merely
had a_ cold, at neglected to use proper remedies
until It was too late. Others were afflicted with
Bronchitis, Laryngltls, Catarrh, or some of the
many diseases to which the throat and lungs are
subject. All of these complaints, in their early
stages can be cured with BRIGGS’ Throat and

'A Guess at tie Money ’Wastod
{on Music.
. [Troy Timon]
A Chicago woman has discovered one
cause of the hard times in the popular rage
for music lessons. She says that inI-the
villageiwhere she lives, and within hearing
distance, there are seven houses, in each of
which ithere is _either a piano or an organ.
audio every house the music teacher is a
regular, visitant. It is barely possible that
among; the ten or tWelvej pupils regularly
practicing upon these instruments, there are
two who, if called upon in after years to
play ', a simple melody, will not excuse
themselves-in the act, although from present
indications it is .by no means probable.
But of another thing there is not the least
doubt—pnly two of these houses are by good
rights able to own a musical instrument.
Yet' within these seven houses there is
“retired" in the shape of musical instru-
ments'mot less than $2,000, at an annual
expense in the way of tuning and repairs
of probably $85 more. Add to this the
amount expended every year for music les—
sons, which, at a very low estimate, cannot
be far from $275, and we find a pretty large
sum of money in just thissmall area in mus--
ical service. Saying nothing of the $2,000
lying quite idle and unproductive, there is
drawn out of these houses annually$300 for
which there is no appreciable value...ree
turned. Wonder if there are not some cities ‘
in which money is wasted in much the same
way? . _, , , i . . .
Murder will out—occasionally. ‘Themur-I
derer of Mrs. Hall, of New York, _was dis-
covered walking quietly to church in Bes-
had never seen the man but who had studied
up the case somewhat. The murderer Was
a colored man who lived near Mrs. Hall’s '
residence. He opened a window, lit a'can- '
dle, walked up stairs and into her room.
He says he had no thought of murder, but '
him, and he jumped on the bed,*smothcre'd
her and tied her fast, and then stole her
jewelry and other articles. -IIe remained-in
and was arranging to leave the country. "He '
pawned some of the jewelry,’ which not
led to his defection. Her watch was 'fouml~
upon his person, and he has made a full cOn-
'fession. '
Young Cornelius Vanderbilt, _son of Wm.
Georgia, while traveling southward to Flor-
ida a few days ago. When seated with his
retinue at the tea table. he told one of his
that the servant might eat hisfill- by train
time. Up rose the Altamaha host, and
with angry gestures ordered the darkey to
leave the room. Up rose the millionaire,
[owed to remain he would leave the hotel.
The proprietor still kicked. The Vander-
bilt crowd left. “New,” says the chsup.
Sentinel, “what means the purse-proud
swell head ?" “Vanderbilt," exclaims another
esteemed contemporary, the ‘Quilmnn Free
Pro-.9,- “Vuuderbilt is an infernal skunk."
