MR. FA RQUHAR’S NlECE.
Mr. Farquhar certainly did not intend to
invite his niece to join him in Paris when he
wrote to inform her that he was makings
short stay there, en route to his native
country. The fact was that he had never
set eyes on the young lady, having been
absent ill India nearly twenty years, and,
consequently he did not feel much personal
interest in her. But he had generously paid
for her education and maintenance since she
had lost her parents, and was prepared to
‘make a home for her on his arrival in Eng-
land; therefore he had written her a kind
letter to announce his return.
But he was very much surprised and some-
what disconcerted when two days later he
was informed, on reaching his hotel after an
evening stroll on the boulevards, that a young
lady who had just arrived from England was
awaiting him in the salon, and before he had
recovered from his astonishment he found
himself in the presence of his niece, who
greeted him affectionately and dutifully held
up a remarkably pretty face to he kissed.
“’Pon my word, my dear,” said old Mr.
Farquhar, after availing himself of the privi-
lege, “your arrival is quite a surprise to me.
I should ‘ certainly have met you at the sta-
tion had I known you were coming"
“I thought you would be surprised, uncle,”
said the young lady, blushing. “The fact
was my friends, Mr. and Mrs. Howard, were
coming over to-day, and I availed myself of
their escort. Otherwise I should not have
come fer a day 'or two, or at all events not
until I had answered your letter."
Mr. Farquhar was on. the point of saying
that he did not recollect anything in his
letter which could be construed into an invi-
tation, but being a kind-hearted, susceptible
old gentleman, he refrained. The truth was
he was very much struck by his niece’s pre-
possessing appearance. He possessed a pho-
tograph of her taken some years backiwhich
had given him a very inadequate idea of her
attractions, though it must be owned that he
had not examined it very attentively. He
regretted now, as he gazedpwith undisguised
admiration upon the young lady’s fair face,
tall, graceful figure and frank blue eyes, that
he had baulked himself of the pleasure of
anticipating such a charming revelation.
“I—I hope you are not angry with me,
uncle, for arriving so unceremoniously I" said
his niece, interrupting—his reverie. _
' “Angry! my dear child. On the con-
trary, delightedl Quite delighted!” said Mr.
Farquhar, heartily. “ Hi! waiter. Tell the
chambermaid—femaze .de chambre, you know
—to conduct this lady to a room near mine.
And, bless my soul, you must be hungry, my
dear! Dinner, waiter, directly.”
While his niece was making the necessary
alterations to her toilet, Mr. Farquhar super-
intended the details of a dainty little repast,
which the young lady found awaiting her
when she came down. The old gentleman
was more delighted than ever with his niece’s
appearance when he beheld her divested of
her hat and traveling attire, and could hardly
take his eyes off her. In fact, admiration
and astonishment rendered him strangely
silent, and the young lady was evidently
fatigued after her journey, their conversation
was not of a verv confidential nature.
“Now, my dear, if you are tired, don’t
hesitate to go to your room," said Mr. Farqu-
har, noticing at length his niece’s fatigue.
“ You mustn’t spoil your roses, Ada, and we
have a lot of sightseeing before us.”
“ Thank you, uncle," said the young lady,
rising from the table; “but my name is Amy,
you know; not Ada.”
“ Amy, to be sure. I was thinking it was
Ada," replied Mr. Farquhar, in some confu-
sion; and having submitted with good grace
to_another dutiful salute, he opened the door
for her, and made his way to the smoking-
rcom to discuss a cheroot before turning in
It was astonishing what an exhilarating
effect the arrival of his niece had upon the
old gentleman. He felt quite young and
jaunty at the prospect of having to escort a
pretty girl about to see the sights of Paris.
He was up betimes the next morning and
dressed himself with especial care. He even
made a pilgrimage to the Madeleine market -
to purchase a flower for his bultonhole, net
forgetting also a very elegant little bouquet.
which he placed by the side of his niece’s
‘plate.
Miss Amy came down to breakfast looking
fresh and rosy, and charming after her night’s
rest. She went into eestaeies over the bou-,
quet which her uncle had provided, and in-
sisted upon giving him an extra kiss for his
attention. She laughed and talked gayly
during the meal, and Mr. Farqnhar learned
a great deal of news about members of the
family whom he did not recollect ever having
heard of. But the fact was that he paid very
little attention to what his niece was saying,
being absorbed in watching her and listening
to her musical voice. His niece had fairly
bewitched him, and it only dawned upon the
old gentleman that he had lapsed into a stupi-
fied silence when the young lady, in her
turn, suddenly left off talking. Then he
awoke to the fact that his niece was showing
symptoms of embarrassment, and that a
bright flush of color was mounting to her
cheek. At first Mr. Farquhar was afraid he
had omitted to reply to some remark which
needed answer. He soon perceived, how-
ever, that his nleee’s eyes were turned
anxiously towards anotherpart of the room,
and, following the direction of her startled
gaze, he beheld a tall, million-looking gen-
tleman, elderly, but still handsome, With an
iron gray moustache, who was just taking
his seat near them. Mr. Farquhar expe-
rienced a wild, unreasonable pang of jealousy,
but observing that the stranger seated himself
unconcernedly at a table, with his back to
them. his suspicions were alloyed.
“What is the matter, my dear ?” he in-
quired,turning to his niece.
“Nothing,” she replied, with a start; “ at
least, nothing serious," she added, becoming
very pale, and casting a frightened glance at
her uncle. “I feel a little faint, that is all.
Perhaps you will excuse me for a moment.”
With these hurried words the young lady
rose, and vanished from the room before her
uncle could interfere. The old gentleman
was quite startled by her abrupt departure,
and after ten minutes’ interval he sent up to
inquire what was the matter with her. A
chambermaid brought down word that his
niece had a headache, and proposed to lie
down for an hour. Relieved by this report,
Mr. Farquhar finished his breakfast and
strolled into the courtyard to smoke. ’ '
After lounging about for nearly two hours
Mr. Farquhar sent again to inquire after his
niece. This time came a message requesting
him not to wait for her, as she did not feel
well enough to accompany him. Mr. Farqu-
bar, therefore, started off rather discon-
solately for his morning’s walk alone.
When he returned it was past midday, and
not finding his niece in any of the salons he
ventured to go up to her \room. Having
knocked two or three times at the door with-
out eliciting any response he cautiously
turned the handle, and found the apartment
deserted,
This was rather an unpleasant surprise,
and Mr. Farquhar began to feel vaguely
uneasy. He made inquiries of the servants,
but none of them could give him any tidings
of Miss Amy. As it was evident she was not
in the hotel, Mr. Farquhar sallied forth with
the idea that she might have gone out for a
walk during his absence. He spent the rest
of the day in wandering aimlessly about the
streets, returning at short intervals to the
hotel to inquire if his niece had come back.
By degrees he worked himself into a state of
nervous excit ement, and when it began to
grow dark and Miss Amy did not appear be
resolved to communicate with the police.
Before doing so, however, it occurred to him
to ascertain the name of the gentleman who
had sat near to them at breakfast, remember-
ing that his niece had appeared startled at
seeing him. Upon being furnished with his
description, the concierge identified the indi-
vidual in question as a Colonel Ingram, add-
ing, suddenly:
“ But, wait I The young lady Monsieur is
sceking went away with that gentleman. I
recollect that M. 10 Colonel had a young
lady with him."
“ What I” exclaimed Mr. Farquhar, aghast.
“ They started off in the hotel omnibus
about midday, with baggage,” added the
concierge.
“ Good — I” exclaimed good ME. Farqn-
ha'r, wiping his brow; “what an awful
thing! That .poor child must have eloped
with some—some adventurer.”
Having found a clue to his niece’s disap‘
pearance, he had no difficulty in obtaining
further information, which convinced him
that his suspicions were correct. A porter
had brought down the young lady’s luggage
by the gentleman’s orders and had placed it
on the omnibus. The English colonel ap-
peared to be au mieuw with the young demoi-
selle, and they had driven off together. Mr.
Farqhuar had subsequently ascertained that
they had gone to the railway station, where
their luggage had been labelled for Geneva.
Mr. Farquhar was an energetic old gelitle-
man, and, in spite of the shock to his feel-
ings, he did not hesitate to follow the fugi-
tives. He felt in duty bound to do all in his
power to rescue his niece, and, though he
was naturally grieved and horrified by her
conduct, he was ready to make excuses for
her, and to believe that she had been decayed
away. His first impulse was to telegraph to
the police to arrest his niece’s companion;
but with the object of avoiding a scandal,
and from_ an inborn spirit of caution, he
abandohed this idea, as he hoped to reach
Geneva in the course of the next day, within
a few hours after Miss Amy and her abductor.
He could hardly control his impatience
during the long and weary journey, and
arrived at his destination in a state of furious
indignation. Not knowing where Colonel
Ingram was staying, he started off to make
inquiries at all the principal hotels. He first
drove to the Hotel National without result ; -
but at the Hotel Monopole his enterprise was
rewarded. He learned that Colonel Ingram
and Miss Amy had arrived there early that
morning, and in a few moments he found
himself face to face with the fugitive pair.
Colonel Ingram occupied a private sitting
room and was lounging by the open window
which overlooked the lake, smoking a cigar,
while Miss Amy was leaning over the bal-
cony, watching the people in the street below.
Both turned round when Mr. Farquhar
bounced into the room, and at the sight of
her uncle the young lady turned deadly pale,
while Colonel Ingram rose from his seat and
said, rather defiantly: ' .
“ May I inquire what your business is,
sir i”
“ I am that young lady’s uncle and guard-
ian, and I am hereto demand an explanation
of your disgraceful and unprincipled con-
duct, sir," cried old Mr. Farquhar, firmly.
“ What do you mean? I don’t understand,”
said Colonel Ingram, with great hauteur.
“ I repeat, sir, that Miss Nicholson is my
niece, and I am her guardian,” returned Mr.
Farquhar, angrily.
“ Miss Nicholsonil I assure you, sir, you
are mistaken,” replied Colonel Ingram, per-
ceiving that his visitor was neither mad nor
intoxicated. This young lady's name is not
Miss Nicholson, nor is she your- niece. May
I ask your name, sir ?"_ .
“’Pon my word, this is too much," ex-
claimed Mr. Farquhar, indignantly, though
inwardly disconcerted by Colonel Ingram’s
apparent straightforwardness. “I appeal to
the young lady. I will give you my card
with pleasure,” he added, laying it on the
table with trembling hand.
“ Do you know that name, my dear?"
laughed Colonel Ingram, glancing at the card
and handing it'to the young lady.
“Mr. Champion Farquhar. No, I never
heard it before in my life,” was the reply,
uttered in a low, nervous tone, and from the
manner in which she mispronounced the
name it was evident she never had.
“Really, Mr. Farquhar, you are laboring
under a msirepresentation,” said Colonel In.
gram, frankly. “ You are probably misled
by some accidental resemblance between this
young lady and your niece. I sympathize
with your disappointment, and hope you will
be soon relieved of your evident anxiety."
Poor Mr. Farquhar looked the picture of
confusion. The colonel’s frank tone carried
conviaon with it, while the young lady
made sign of recognition. Certainly, the
resemblance between her and his niece, Miss
Nicholson, was most striking, but in his agi-
tation Mr. Farquhar began to imagine he saw
points of difference. It occurred to him
with painful distinctness that he had made
an absurd mistake, and he felt so over-
whelmed by the awkwardness of his position
that be fairly belted out of the room with a
muttered apology.
0n descending to the hall of the hotel he
found that his portmanteau had been taken
off the cab, and being worn out with fatigue
and excitement he wisely determined to stay
where he was for the night. He, therefore,
ordered dinner, and by degrees recovered his
equanimity sufficiently to be able to reflect
with calmness on what had happened.
Unfortunately, his deliberations did not
conduce to his peace of mind, for the more
he thought over the matter the more con‘
vinced did he feel that his first suspicions
were correct, and that the young lady up-
stairs was really his niece. The colonel's
ingenious manner had evidently been assumed
to put him off the scent, and reealltng to
mind the young lady’s agitation when he
.entered the room, Mr. Farquhar came to the
conclusion that he was the victim of a clever
conspiracy. While angrily meditating another
visit to Colonel Ingram’s apartment, a waiter
handed him a note written in pencil in a
lady’s hand, which showed traces of haste
and agitation. Mr. Farquhar put on 'his
glasses and read with amazement as follows:
DnAn Silt—I implore you to keep my
secret. It was all the fault of the people at
the hotel at Paris who caused me to mistake
you for my uncle, and I never suspected any-
thing until my uncle eame into the room
while we were at breakfast. He has been in
lndia so many years that I had forgotten
what he was like, but when he came in I at
once reeollected him. I cannot tell you how
ashamed I feel, for I was wicked enough in
my great confusion to pretend to him that I
had only arrived yesterday morning. I per-
suaded my uncle to leave Paris at once,
never thinking you would take any more
trouble about me. Pray forgive me for my
ungrateful conduct to you just now, but
please keep my secret, or my uncle might be
angry. I will tell him some day really. Do
please forgive me, and accept-my grateful
thanks for your kindness, .
Yours sincerely,
Ami BETHUNE.
“ Poor little thing!” muttered Mr. Farqu'
bar, when he had read the letter, which he
handled tenderly. “Of course, she feels
awkward, for she kissed me more than once,
thinking I was her uncle. "
The recollection of this agreeable episode
caused the old gentleman to break Into a
good-bummed chuckle, which banished every
trace of anger and resentment from his mind.
A fellow has just been arrested in Moultrie
county, Ill., who has been swindling farmers
in a queer. way. He went about getting the
signatures of residents in a book for the pur-
pose of getting their post office addresses.
By some heeus-pocus they were made tosign
notes instead. and then they were blackmailed
to settle or stand suit.

‘ HOME MADE BREAD.
“She's an old darling," said Grace Craz-
all; “ and I mean to help her all I can. I’ve
gotta receipt for chocolate cclaires, and on
Friday evening I’m going there to make up
all I can. so that the school children shall
buy them on Saturday. I know how to
make cinnamon apple tarts, too, and lemon
drops and cocoa nut balls."
“ Grace! I do believe you have taken
leave of [year senses," said Medora May.
“One would think it was disgrace enough
for Aunt Deborah—our own mother's sister
—to open a horld little huekster's shop with-
out our mixingourselves up in the afiair."
“But Aunt Debby must live, you know,"
laid Grace, who was perched, kitten fashion,
on the window sill, feeding the canary with
lumps of white sparkling sugar. “And cousin
Nixon couldn't keep her any longer—and
her eyes arn't strong though for fine needier
work, and her education has not fitted her
to be a teacher, but her.poor old rheumatic
bones keep her from going behind counter
or entering a factory. I suppose you
wouldn’t be willing to have her come here
and live with you ?”
"II” cried Medora. “ Do you suppose I
want to proclaim to the whole town that I
have such adilapidated old relation as that?"
“I would take her quick enough," said
Grace, “if I didn't board w"h Mrs. Hewitt,
and share the little up-steirs back bedroom
with the two children. J not wait until I
marry some rich man,” she added with a
saucy uplifting of her pretty auburn brown
eyes, “and then see if I don‘t furnish up a
state apartment for Aunt Debby,” ‘
“ Don’t talk nonsense," said Medora, acid-
ly. “It’s very likely isn’t it, that a factory
girl like you is going to marry a rich man l’"
Grace Craxall laughed merrily. All
through life she and her cousin, Medora
May, had agreed to differ on most points.
Grace, seeing no other career before her, bad,
on the death of her last surviving parent,
cheerfully entered a factory, while Medora,
taking her stand upon the platform of a
false gentility,had done fine sewing and silk
embroidery on the sly to support herself,
putting on all the airs of a young lady of
fashion the while. And now Aunt Deborah
May, to the infinite disgust of her aristocrat-
ically-inclined niece, had actually opened a
little low-windowed shop in a shady street,
just out of the man thoroughfare, and as
Medora despairingly expressed it, “gone into
trade.”
For Aunt Debby, in her bewildered lone
liness, had scarcely known what to do until
Grace Craxall came to the rescue with her
hopeful courage and straightforward com-
mon sense.
“ I‘only wish it wasn’t sinful to take a
good big dose of landanum and put myself
out of the way,” sighed the poor old lady.
“ Now, Aunt Debby, that doesn’t sound a
bit like you ” said Grace cheerfully.
“ But what am I to do i”! said Aunt De-
borah.
“ What can you do i” said Grace.
“ I dont know as I am good for anything,"
said the old woman, with a quiet tear or two,
“except to help around the house; and I
ain't strong enough for regular hired help.
Your uncle alwaysased to sayI was a master
hand at making bread." '
“ Then make it," brightly interrupted
Grace.
“ Eh I" said Aunt Debby.
“There’s a nice little store to let on Bay
street," went on Grace, “for ten dollars a
mont ." ~
“ But I haven’t got ten dollars a month,"
feebly interruptpd Aunt Debby. .
“ I'll lend it to you," said Grace “ out of
the wages I have saved. And there's a
pretty bedroom and sitting-room at the back
of the shop ,and a clean, dry basement under
it, where you could bake your bread. I know,
for the sister of the lady where I board is
looking for dress-making rooms and I heard
her speaking about it.”
“Do you mean to open a bakery i" said
bewildered Aunt Debby. .
“Not exactly that," explained Grace,
“ But if Mrs. Howitt, or Mrs. Taylor, or
any other of the ladies around here could get
real home made bread, such as you made:
do you suppose they would put up with the
sour stuff that they get at the bakers’s shop r
And you could easily get up a reputation on
your raisin cakes, and fried crullers, and
New England pumpkin pies, now couldn't
you ?"
The old lady brightened up a little.
“I used to be pretty good at cooking,"
\said she. “ And if you think I could support
myself,so-—"
“ I am sure of it I ” cried the cheerful
Grace. “And I’ll go there with you this
very day to look at the place, and will engage
it for three months on trial. And I can point
you a sign to put over the ,door, ‘ Home
Made bread by Mia. Deborah May.’ And I'll
hem you some curtains and arrange the
shelves in the low window. I almost wish
I was going to be your shop girl," she added
know."
Grace Craxall’s prophecies proved correct.
Aunt Debby's delicious home made bread
whiter than [any powdered lillies, sweet as
ambroisenoon acquired a reputation, and
the old lady could scarcely make it fast
enough. People come half a dozen blocks
to buy the yellow pumpkin pies and delic-
ious apple tarts; children brought. their
headed pennies to invest in chocolate sweet-
meats, vanilla caramels, and cream cakes
sweetness. The little money drawer grew
fat with coins and—and Aunt Debby's dim
eyes grew bright and hopeful again.
And one day .Mr. Herbert Valance. walk-
ing by with Medora May, stopped and look-
ed in. .
“ Isn't that your cousin Grace," said he,
“ behind that counter ?"
Medora turned crimson with vexation.
“ My cousin Grace 1’” she cried. "No, in-
deed! We are not—in trade.”
What possessed her to utter this deliberate
falsehood, Meddra could not have afterward
told. ' Probably the sting .of false shame
and partly the disinclination for Mr. Herbert
Valance to know that all her relations were
not, to use her own expression, “ ladies and
gentlemen."
Mr. Malance looked up at the clan over
the door.
“ The name is May," he said indifierently.
“ Yes," said Medan May, angry at herself
for blushing so deeply, " but we are ndt re-
lation."
Mr. Valance thought over the matter;
afterward he met Miss May at an evening
party given by a friend, where pretty Grace
Braxall was also present. He had taken
rather a fancy 'to the bright blue eyes and
delicate blonde beauty of the former. Val-
ance Hall, on the hill just out of the city,
was solitary enough, now that his sisters had
all married and gone away; and perhaps a
man might find a less attractive and grace-
ful wife than Modern May. But he ’could
not be mistakenfihcithougbt, in Grace Crux-
cll’s identity.
And so the next evening at about the same
time he stammered into the shop.
Grace was behind the dainty, clean little
counter, taking some newly-baked maple
caramels off the pans. She looked up with
a smile.
“ Good evening Mr.- Valance,” said she.
(“80” he thought, " ,ijacn't mistaken after
all, and the little blue-eyed Ieraph is mortal
enough to tell a lie, in spite of her angelic
appearance I")
But he looked serenely at Grace.
“II did_not know that you were in the
“ Didn't you? rWell" merely retorted
Grace, “ I am my Aunt Deborah’s shop girl
just at present! I always home here in the
evening to help her, because ” she added,
a sweet shade of seriousness coming over her
face, “ Aunt Debby was old and poor—and
.she didn't quite know how to maintain her-
self in independence. And unfortunately
my wages from the factory are nor quite
enough for us both. So I advised her to
open this business. And she did. And she's
doing very well. And she bakes the most
delicious bread and pics you ever ate, so,"
with a saucy twinkle under the eyelashes,
“if you know any customers you will rccom-g
mend our firm ?"
“ To be sure I shall," he answered in the
same spirit. And I am very glad, Miss Cran-
all, to see that you are not ashamed of being
a working girl."
“ Of course Lam not," said Grace; “why
should I be I"
" But your cousin Medora is."
Grace gave a little shrug of her shoulders.
" Very likely." said she, “ Medora and I
differ in many things." ‘ _ V
Mr. Vance bought a pound of caramcls
and went away.
“ She is a beauty," he said to himself,
“and she is a sensible beauty into the bar-
gain. One of these ram eves in our country.
A thoroughly well-balanced girl."
He must be very well pledsed with his
purchase, for he came again the next even-
ing just in time to walk home with Grace
Craxall, and they talked over aunt Deborahs
affairs, and concluded, as flour was low just
then it would.be a favorable opportunity for"
the old lady to lay in .her 1 winter’s stock
through Mr.-anance who was acquainted
with one of the great New York grain mer-
chants. ‘
Only a few weeks had elapsed when
Medora May was electrified with amaze-
ment to hear that her cousin Grace was “en-
gaged." ,
“ To some master baker or journeyman
confectioner, I suppose," said she contemp-
.tuously.
“No," said Grace with eyes roguishly
sparkling, “ To Mr. Herbert Valance."
“ I—don’t—believe it,” said Medora,grow-
ing red, then pale.
“ But it is really so," said Grace. 9‘ And
we are to be married in three months. And
Aunt Debby is to come to the Holland live
with me as soon as she can dispose of her
business to advantage. And dear Medora
I hope you will come often and visit me
there.”
Medora May .did not answer. She could
not. But in her secret heart she recognized
how infinitely more successful in life's list,
had been Grace’s true, frank honesty, than
her own subtle and devious course.
Like many another, however, the lesson
had come to her too late.

Rev. Whangdoodle Baxter of the Austin

of Jim Webster, one of hisfiock, to make a
pastoral visit. Mrs. Webster was at home
but not desiring to furnish 'Whangdoodlc

in pursuit hid behind the curtain and told
her little boy to tell the clergyman she wile
not at home In hiding behind the curtaln
however, she unknowingly left her feet ex-

‘ Among tho Cemeteries.
The old Wilton burying ground near the
residence of Mr. Sherman 'Moreboule,
though overgrown withi'briars, bushes, and
everything vegetable which is repulsive to
the eye, is a place attachedto whichm'
associations suggestive of Wilton and its
people as they must have been a century and
a half ago,-forty years before the Revolu- -
tion. So accustomed are citizens to behold;
ing it in a state of dilapidation that they have
come to the conclusion it will remain thus,
and: as a burying ground has been established
elsewhere in town—a ground kept in accord. '-
‘ ance with civilized ideas, theyallow seasons
to come and go without-an effort to improve,
or a cent to be expen,ed in changing the
situation. In that ground lie” the ashes of
men and women once censpicuous, not only
in social and religious adults, but who had,
no doubt, a personal interest in maintaining
the outward appearance of their dwellings,
and who by chance often thought of this soil
into which some day they would sleep their
last sleep, wondering if successors taught by
them would have pride, enough to me that
the grass on their gravesTbe kept green. The
dead speak not, but couldthoce’ resting here
for a moment rissgfanbfupcn the place
what manner of ,f _ . what style of appro-
brium would they not be temptcdto employ.
Would they npt‘bc likely to hasten back to
the place from whence ' they came toweit
the sound of Gabriel’s trump rather than
terry long in presence ofscenec so hill-reeling
to their spiritual eyes I" All this spoken, not
to reprcve Wilton, for similar conditions are >
found in almost every country town, but u a
reminder that neglect has brought the sacred
spot into disrepute. Near the center of the
ground is an oak tree of vast age. 81x yam
ago lightning struck and killed the tree.
There: it stands slowly decaying almost
ready to fell upon gravel its bougbl have
sheltered for generations. Slabs of common:
field stone with rounded corners, the traces
of what was once a skull and cross bones
near the top, red freestone, granite, slate and
marble, all covered with moss and many
standing askew, some broken off, other:
lying on the ground and crumbling to dust
are seen, and the strange visitor inquires
"How long have these things been corned
should he ask a villager he might!» told :-
“That is a very old cemetery—belongs to '
the town, which should keep it in repair,"
and that strangel- might truthfully say to
himself “Here is the old adage verified,-
what is cvcrybodys business, is nobody’a
busines." How long the' ground has
been used for burial purposes cannot be told,
but the silent language of stones on which '
were ones out names 8nd dates—now W0"!
and untraeeeblc, showthnt it began a great
while ago. There are slabs which once
looked fair and showed their sculptured
record plain, long since broken ed and the
parts beaten into the coil and overgrown
with tum—mounds. with no stones, and all
that can be said of the departed beneath is—
“their names, their years, spell’d by the
unletter’d muse, the place of fame and elegy
supply.” Other stones are so moss covemd
as to obscure the inscription, and now and
then one split in two the face side crumbled
and in one instance gone wholly to decay.
A walk among the graves teaches a lemon
which can alone be learned by experience,
and the lesson is, that which is shaped by
man sooner or later yields to the destroyer
—Time. The character of the slabs may be
determined by tracing the inscriptions. Here
are a few. ”‘

A defect in the law rearranging the Con-

A Chicago rascal, pursued by the police,
succeeded in sounding the electric fire alarm.
This set so many people running and drew
such a crowd that he escaped.
The Pbiladelphians have figured the profits
on the Penn celebration, and have come to
the conclusion that between eight and ten
million dollars were left in the city during

Two officers set out into Kearney county,
Nebraska, after a couple of murderers a few

success was a dispatch to the governor ask-

They had caught both men but had shot one

The average German citizen does not want
free rum, and he does not like to be classed
in that category. He has all the order lov-

the suppression of the grogeries that do so
much mischief. He wants simply what most
people of sense will be glad to see him have
when his privileges can be granted-so that
their abuse can be checked.
The beauty of Miss Jeannie Chamberlain,
of Chicggo. the Rose of the West. as she is
called in England, still continues to call
forth a more than ordinary amount of British
admiration and enthusiasm. It is even said
that on the occasion of her entering one of
the royal palaces the Guardsealutcd her,
which was interpreted nu tribute to her
beauty, and not to the fact of her being there
as a guest of one of the royal fuml ._ A
very large and elegant luncheon was glven
for her some little time since by Lord and
