THE PASTUREEBARS.
If all the skies, I do believe,
Had all the year withholden
Their gala tints to guild that eve,
It would na‘been more golden;
. The wee birds would na sing so fine
If they had been invited;
The cows came proudly in a line,
As if they were delighted.
We lingered by the pasture bars;
Till'sunset changed to gloamlug,
Till twilight clustered iuto stars, _
And through the clouds went roaming;
And when the moon glowed up the sky

There had been orange blossoms, and
white satin, and awedding ring; turkey,
champagne and emotion, and the newly-
breveted Mrs. Arthur Boabdil, nee Thomp-
son, was stepping into the carriage in a
traveling suit, (the loveliest thing, ashes of
roses, even to her boots, as she herself said)
when Aunt Baker, one of your women with
fearfully common-sense view, and anat-
ural ability. to make other lpeople‘s pre-
serves and nurse their children, stepped up
to her. ‘
“Good-bye, Amine. When .the honey-
moon is over I will come and see you.”
We will give the new-made matron's an-
swer in,her own words, taking them from a
letter of twenty pages, written to her bosom-
friend, Lizzie Waylie:
“ Imagine my feelings, dariingi I couldn’t
offend Aunt Baker, you know, because
what with .mamma's nerves, and our
wretchediseamstress, if it hadn’t been for
her, I don't know how my wardrobe ever
wouldhavc been finished, for of course I
could do nothing—but.I looked my indig-
nation, and answered in the words of that
dear, delightful Mr. Rochester, in “Jane
13;. ac :” “ Then you will never come at all,
Acct Baker, for it will shine over our
graves." Would you believe it, Lizzie,
darling r Aunt Baker smiled that dreadful
smile of hers, a'nuch as to say: “Go on,
poor butterfly, till you scorch your wings.”
Just as if I was a child, instead of a married
woman, and wasn't positively sure that Ar-
thur audI couldn’t love each other more
than we do, and that there wasn’t anyjpossi-
bility of a change. I would far rather shehad
boxed my ears; but, of course, you know I
couldn’t do anything, only say: ‘ Good-bye,
Aunt Baker,‘ as sweetly asI could, and drive
away. I wish she hadn’t smiled, though,
she has such an uncomfortable way of being
always in the right. Her words have been

joyments, and, Lime; dear, I know it's all
nonsense, but do you think our honeymoon
will ever,wane f"
Miss Lizzie Waylie received this letter
while Mrs. Boabdil was on her bridal tour,
In the course of time, Mr. and Mrs. Boabdil
settled themselves in a cottage a short dis-
tance up the Hudsonhbut no more, treble
stamped envelopes reached Miss Lizzie,
though three months had ,elapsed, when Mr.
Boabdil pushed back his coffee cup, and
looked severely at poor little Mrs. Boabdil,
shaking behind the :nrn, at the other end of
the table.
“ Amine," he said, with emphasis, “this
cannot last. I have pointed out to you the
fact that our whole future happiness is at
stake. I have represented to you thattrifies
are the bridges from one phase of happiness
to another. I have devoted my time and
energies to the arduous task of forming
your character. We have now been married
three months and I still find you intractable,
unconvinced, obstinate; and I say again this
cannot last.” \
Mrs. Boabdil dropped her bread and but-
ter and raised her handkerchief to her eyes.
Mr. Boabdil, who was watching her,
pushed back his chair and took a stand; on
the hearthrug, with his back to the mantel
and with his hands 13 his-pockets.
“If I only knew how to suit you," sniveled
Mrs. Boabdil.
“Is,there anything easier i" _he demanded,
severely. “ I ask you simply for rare steak
and well-made coffee. It is brought on ac-
tually brown, and I find that there are four
tableqspoonsfull of ,coflee used instead of
three, as Iordered. Four, Mrs. Boabdil, and
heaped at the ." ~
“ But this urn that you will use—"
“And why not, madam ? Am I not mas-
ter in my own house i If I choose to
use it, is not that quite sufiicientf Things
are getting down to a very_fine point, I
should think." '
“ I do not mean that.;I onlijish to say—”
“ Ohi quarreling are you? Very well,
madam. You know my mind-on that point
perfectly. I have always said that if discus-
sions must arise between my_wife and my-
self, the sooner we part the better. You will
order Mary to get out my trunk, and see
that it is packed by three o'clock this after-
noon. I must have peace, at whatever cost
it is obtained."
As since the first week of their return, the
said trunk had been brought down regularly
from its resting place in the attic, three
times alweek, bureau drawers revolutionized,
pantaloons and cravats stowed away with an
emphasis, and John ordered to be in readiness
to carry it to the depot at three o’clock ap-
parently for the sole purpose of keeping Mrs.
Boabdil in hysterics, and her pockethand-
kerchlef :in the wash; as Mr. Boabdil had
never yet spent a night from home, it might
have been imagined that she would receive
the announcement with tolerable composure;

tears and cambric handkerchiefs—of which
latter resources she immediately availed her-
self.
"Another of your pernicious habits, mad-
am," commented Mr.,Boabdll secretly hug.
ging himself with delight at the effect of his
determined measures. "When will you ever
have any firmness? How often shall I be
obliged to remind you that the days of your
babyhood are passed, and that you are, or
ought to be a woman f"
“ I thought you said I was so obstinate,"
whined Amina.
“ So you are,"'he returned, reddening and
spluttering. “ Obstinate as a mule, and—
why, how are you Mrs. Baker f I am very
glad to see you." .
Aunt Baker looked at the breakfast table,
the sobbing Amine and thespluttering Boab-
dil, in evident astonishment. Poor little
Mrs. Boabdil hastily wiped her eyes, and
came forward, trying to smile.
“Dear Aunt Baker, I am so glad to see
you. I have such a shocking headache and I '
un such a silly, nervous creature, I was cry-
ing about it." .
" Amine," exclaimed her husband in this
deepest bml “ When [will yov ever be
truthful? My wife has no headache at all,
Mrs. Baker. The plain truth of the matter
is, I am forming her character, and she takes
it very hard, and resents my eflorts as actual
injuries. It is in vain for -me to say teller
“ Amine, you are a perfect child, you know
you are. You have always been potted and
spoiled, and need the guidance of a strong
will and great common sense to make a wo-
man of you." She is deaf to all my argu-
ments and treats me to this sort of scene ev-
ery time I open my mouth ; so that were not

to be a woman; preve that you are one by
listening to his ridiculous and unjust accu-
my duty superior to all other considerations
with me, I should give up in despair.” '
“ And you are sure you are pursuing the
best method ?" asked Aunt Baker, quietly.
“ Sure ? Positive ma’am. Only way in the
world—only way in thaworld, ma’am. But
a perfect child all her life,-if I don’t. Good
morning, ma’am, Amine, be sure that trunk
is ready, precisely at three.
Amine sank down on afootstool and buried
herself again in the depths of her handker-
chief. Aunt Baker waited till, 'from the
window, she had seen Mr. Boabdil quite out
of the gate. Then she seated herself beside
her niece and drew the pretty little auburn
head down in her lap. '
“ Now, you little goose, what is it about
was to shine over your graves i" .
“Ohi don't, please don't, Aunt Baker,"
sniffed Amine. " There is no honeymoon ’at
all, and itfs perfectly dreadful, and it gets

time; Iknow he will. I never have seen

“ No you won't," returned Aunt Baker;

Baker, this is a dear little place, with a

is as romantic as can be, and looks out in

“ Aunt Baker l”

A Terrible Tragedy.
AN INSANE MOTHER KILLS HEB rum
campers sun comma SUICIDI.
New YORK, Oct. 31.—0ne of the most
shocking domestic tragedies that ever took
place in this city occurred this afternoon.
Mrs. Margaret L. Seguin, wife of Dr. Ed;
ward Seguin, one of the best known phy-
sicians in New York, who resided in a brown
stone house at No. 41 West Twentieth street,.
after murdering her three children committed
suicide by shooting herself in the head.
From what could be learned of the terrible
affair from the . police it appears that Mrs.
Seguin was last seen alive by some of the
servants in the front parlor about 8 P. M.
She then appeared in her usual health and
spirits. At the same time her three children
were playing in diflercnt parts of the build-
ing. About 5 o'clock Mrs. Seguin’s brother,
Dr. R. W. Amidon of 58 West Twenty-first
street, called at the house, and as Mrs.
Seguln could not be found and all the chil-
dren were missing a search was begun. On
reaching a spare room on the top floor of the
house they found it locked. Amidou, with
the assistance of one of the servants, forced
the door and the first thing that met their
view was the dead body of Mrs. Seguin lying
in spool of blood on the floor with her feet
toward the door. A few feet 01!, near the
centre of the room, lay the dead, body _of her
eldest boy, Edward D., with blood and brain
matter oozing from a pistol shot in the head.
On making a further examination they were
horrified to find in a closet the two youngest
children, John Vanduyn Seguin, aged five
years, and Jeannette Seguin, aged four, lying
dead with bullet wounds in the head. The
weapons with which the unfortunate woman
committed the terrible dead, a single barrel
target pistol and a five-chamber Remington
revolver, were_found on the floor. Not the
slighest cause can be assigned for the‘act,
and it is supposed that the unfortunate lady
committed the terrible deed while laboring.
under a temporary fit of insanity. Doctor
Seguin was absent at the time, and when he
returned home he was almost crazed with
grief. Mrs. Seguin was 38 years of age and
had been married about eight years. She
was a native of Massachusetts, where her
father now resides.

Rumors have boon' afloat forf'some time
.past about the-Surrogate's ofiice and among
merchants’ that the will -of theme Jessie
Hoyt, who left an estets‘valued at $15,000,-
000 was to be contested. These rumors at-
tained tangible shape yesterday when Aaron
Aahn, as attorney of record. Presented an ap-
plication to Surrogate Rollins directing that
citations should issue to James W. Jackson,
A’ifred M. Hoyt and Samuel N. Hoyt, ex-
ecutors of Mr. Hoyt’s will, requiring them
to show cause why a decree should not be
entered against the executors requiring them
to pay to Helen Maria Hoyt and Irene Hoyt
the sum of $25,000 each cut of the estate.
daughter. They make the petition upon
which the order was asked for, stating that
a paper purporting to be the last will and
testament of Jesse Hoyt was on August 29,
last,.admitted toprobete, and letters testa-
mentary were issued to the executors
named, who have assumed toact as such
executors. Th’e petitioners then? go on to
say that Mr. Hoyt left an estate amounting
to upward of 015,000,000; that the debts
chargeable against the estate are not large,
and that over and above the debts and lega-
cies of the petitioners the estate is worth
several millions of dollars; that the petition-
ers behave that the paper ought not to stand
as the will of the decedent, and proceedings
are about to be instituted looking to the
revocation of the probate of the instrument.
The petitioners then assert that they require
funds to discharge the various obligations
existing against them as well as to defray
the necessary expense of maintenance and to
provide for a thorough investigation of the
issues which new be raised in the contest
about to be inaugurated; They further
allege that they have no other source of in-
come, and that for the purposes mentioned
as well as for other purposes they require 'an
advance from the estate of $25,000 each, the
same to be charged against theirrespective
interests as legatees in we the will should
be sustained or charged against their distri-
butive'sbares if the contrary should be the
case.
run oanan cameo.
The petition further avers that the value
of the estate exceeds by more than one.
third all the debts existing against it and of
of the petitioners; that the petitioner. Helen
Maria Hoyt, has, since the probate of her'
husband’s will, applied to the executorafor
money, but that her request has not been
complied with, the result being that she is
greatly annoyed for want of money. They
accordingly ask for an order to show cause
why the executors should not pay them the
sums asked for.
Upon this petition Surrogate Rollins
granted the order prayed for, and the same
is made returnable before him on the 9th of
November next for argument. Mr. Kuhn
stated that on the return day ex-Senator
Conkling would appear as counsel for, the
petitioners, and that if the decree asked for
should be granted by the Surrogate the pe-
tition to revoke the will would then be filed.
It will be remembered that under the will
of Mr. Hoyt, the widow received a legacy of
$1,250,000, with power only to dispose of
$750,000 of this sum by will. The daughter
receivéd the same sum—81,250,000—but
only for life, the amount at her death form-
iug part of the residuary estate, which was
distributed among the brothers and sisters
and other relatives of the decedent. Should
the proposed contest of the will be success-'
fat, the widow and daughter, being the pole
heirs at law, will be entitled to the entire
estate. The grbunds of the contest have not
yet been made public, and nothing definite
can be stated about the matter until the
petition for the revocation of probate is filed
in the Surrogate‘s once. It is believed,
however, that'und'ue influence will be urged‘
as one of the principal objections to the pro.
bate of the will. ’ '

And hasten, to partake thy bliss;
And, oh, totthat world welcome me,
As first I welcomed thee to this. -

“You day who I vas in _Vicksburg, during

eyed soldier vent de store out, some more
soldiers came in bud valk all around, vile
day look at'de goods. ‘Shentlemens,’ I says,
‘do you vant'anyding ?' We are shust looking
to she vet you haf,’ said vOn of dem, und
alder aviie anodder says: ‘Bill, shust look
dere at de bugle, do very ding de Captain

Mr. Winans of Baltimore, pays $75,000 a
year for a vast tract of deer forests extend-
ing from one side of Scotland; to the other.
Not content With this, he has just leased
another estate, and has brought suit against
the owner for failing to eject the shepherds
and crofters who are on it.
An interesting case pending before the
New York Supreme Court is that of Samuel
Wilkmso' ‘ n against Henry Ward Beecher for
breach of contract. The contract is the one
Beecher made with Ford ab Co., in Decem-
ber, 1867, to write for them “The Life of
Christ.” He agreed to write the work” in
eighteen months. He demanded and re-
ceived before he signed the contract $10,000.
Wilkinson, a partner in the firm, paid the
$10,000, but he has not yet been able to get
either the book or the money out of Beecher.
“I offered to compromise with him three
years ago," said Mr. Wilkinson, “on the re-
turn ef the amount advanced; an offer that
Beecher tearfully accepted, pronounced mag.
nanimous, and gushingly promised to pay.-
I yet stand by my offer. The suit is brought
to recover the $10,000 and the various dam-
ages resulting from the non-performance of
the agreement."
The late Hon. John D. Defrces was edi-
ting a paper at South Bend, Ind. , at the time ._
of; the Black Hawk war, and when 800
Hoosier volunteers went to the scene of
action only to find that the war had come to"
an end, he saw the comical side of their ci-
perience and published a sketch of what
they didn’t do, calling them the "Bloody
Three Hundred " The fun fitted exquisitely,
buta large number of the men lacked either
the. sense or spirit to appreciate it, and be-. .
came very angry. They went to the young
editor's home, a hundred strong, and called”
him out,_ intending to duck him in a mill-
pond. He came; but instead of apologizing
or begging for int-icy he stoutly defied them,
ridiculed them without stint and taunted
them with cowardice in coming a hundred
against one, until in shame and in admira-
tion of his pluck they apologized for dis-
turbing him and beat a crestfallen retreat.
The old post office site in New York has
been sold at auction, and brought the sum of
0650,0011 It contains 19,800 square feet,
and is in the heart of the business district.
The price paid is at the’rate of $32.83 per
square foot. This sci-ms a large sum, but it
is not, in comparison with prices heretofore
paid in New York and elsewhere.

Eelly in September of .the last national
campaign General Hancock was overwhelm-
ingly elected president by the vote of the state
of Maine; so: at least the democratic press
lnSlSlCd‘ at thetimcr James A. Garfield was
nevertheless installed president six months
latcr._ So, now, our democratic friends are
insisting that Mr. Waller has been elected
governor by the vote of the state of Ohio.
But ‘ Ohio doesn’t elect governors for Con-
necticut, as Mr. Walter‘s friends will find
when the votes are counted on November 7.
