Only a Bird's Nest.
.l. Kara LUDLUM.
Weary and heart-sick, with wasted form,
And eyes that glowed like a smouldering
re
Scarcely lieediug the fierce, cold storm,
. As it swept along with unflinching ire,
As the bare trees shivcrcd, and moaned and
swayed,
In the cutting fury the atormking made. «
But through it all with an angry tread,
And lips that trembled with curses deep, ,
And heart with all of her bright dreams
dead,
And eyes that looked as not made to weep,
A woman wandered through city streets,
While the storm of November against her
beats. ,
The people who pased her turned to see
With scornful lip and with flashing cyc—
“Oh God 1" she cried ; ”in your scorn hear
me, ‘
And grant my prayer—that I long to die I
And dyingI curse them with latest thought,
For the cruel misery they have wrought!
“Once I was pure and free from cure,
The days passed by like swift, sunny
dreams ;
No coarser place than the country, fair,
And filled with flowers, and birds, and
streams;
Where innocence reigncd, and prayer and
praise
Swept up to heaven. Those perfect days!
“But now I scarcely dare to pray,
Aud men are cruel, and life is cold.
My faith and innocence swept away,
Lost almost, the thought of the days of
old I '
Oh, God, to die!" and against the form
of a tree she leaned, in the driving storm;
“God pity rue—pity l" in accents faint
She cried, while the tears suffused her
eyes,
And then as in answer to her complaint,
It fell at her feet, while in glad surprise
She caught and pressed it upon her breast—
Thoughdtwas only a storm~toru sparrow’s
nest! ‘
But as it rested there on her heart,
It waftcd her back to the country home;
Away, from the city's busy mart,
Away, to the country’s peace and bloom,
And she murmured faintly as tears fell fast :
“Oh, God! Ipray you forgive the past ;
“And wipe away all the shame and sin,
And give me some of thy love and rest,
In tho bettor life that I‘ll begin
Just for the sake of this sparrow’s nest I
And give the faith of my youthful days
In the life that stretches in rugged ways!"
a: a: ' a: * a:
it 30!
Five years! and far in that better life
That she had chosen, she's living now ;
A happy mother, a loving wife,
With smiling lips, and a carefree brow,
And living in God’s free peace and rest,
That came to her with that sparrow's ncstl
“Over the Wires.”
First, I must tell you who I am, and how
1 came to be in the Baysvillc bank in the
“we sma' hours" one dreary December: night,
some three years ago.
My name was then Olive Hudson, and I
was seventeen years old that same December
night, and so small that Mrs. Knight’s Dolly,
who was not twelve years old, was half a
head taller than myself.
We were rich folks once, but father died
and left us verypoor. Mother struggled
along in a weary hand-to-haud fight with
poverty until I was sixteen, and then died.
She had rented two rooms of Mrs. Knight,
a widow, also,'with' two stalwart sons, an
aged father, and two daughters. After
mother died I was adopted by the Knights,
and, although I was earning a support as mu-
sic teacher in the Baysvillo academy, I was
was like one of the family in my good laud-
lady’s home.
They were all in good positions, but by no
means an aristocratic family. John, the old-
est son was in New York in a wholesale su-
gar house; Tom was the night watchman at
the Baysville bank building, and grandpa—
wa all call him grandpa—was telegraph op-
erath of the town, while Mary was a millincr
and Dolly stayed at the office, sending and
receiving messages.
The Baysvillc bank building was a large
granite structure, containing the post office
and bank on the first floor, the telegraph of-
fice and a number of private law offices on the
third floor. In the basement Were post office
rooms for sorting the mail and also the large
bank vault.
I knew the building well, for I was fond
of telegraphing, and spent half my leisure
time perched up beside grandpa while he
slept peacefully or read the newspapers.
And that was the begining of my amuse-
ment at Dryden, the next station. The
operator at Dryden was a wit, and flushed
nonsense to our office, but if I were there I
sent back just for jest, and sometimes an
hour slipped by like a minute as we talked
over the wires of every topic under the sun.
He called himself “Lion," and I, for non-
sense, signed myself “Elephant,” laughing as
I did so at the reflection of my tiny figure in
the office mirror.
Beyond Dryden, and only five miles from
Baysville, was C—-—, a large commercial
town, the nearest railway station, and where
'an oflce was always open for the nccommoda
tlou of travelers. —
As I have said, Tom Knight was the night
watchman at. Baysvillc bank building, and a
lonely time by bad of it. Thelast mail came
by stage at four o'clock in the afternoon. and
the post office was vacated at six. The bank
closed at three, and by six o'clock every of-
fice was deserted for the night.
At seven Tom was on duty, and grandpa,
who was resting at night, was in the habit of!
taking down some colIec and luncheon, as
the building was onlyu stone‘s throw from
the house.
On the December night -I have already
mentioned, it had “stormed heavily all day.
and I had taken a new class at the academy,
coming home later in the day than astral, and
excited over my increase in salary.
Everybody else had gone to bed, and I
was lingering over the kitchen fire with Mrs.
Knight, dreading the plunge into my cold
room, where I had allowed the fire to go
out.
The clock struck twelve, and Mrs. Knight,
lifting her face from over the fire, said :
“Do call grandpa, Olive; he’s asleep on
the sofa in 'the sitting room. I'll have Tom's
basket ready by the time grandpa has his
hat'and coat on. I hrrtc to call him, for he
was complaining of rheumatism all day, and
the ground is very wet, although the storm
is over.”
“Let him sleep,” I said; “I’ll run over
with the basket. It is but a step."
“But it is so dark; are you not afraid?” ,
“Not a bit; I'll slip on my waterproof and
rubbers, and draw the hood of my cloak over
my head." .
“Well, if you will, though I am afraid
Tom will scold at my letting you go.”
:“I’ll put down the basket and run, and he
will never know who left it."
“Go into the rear basement door ; he leaves
it open for grandpa." '
“I know." ,
I grasped the handle of the basket, and
hurried across the space between the build-
ing and the house, and stole softly ln’at the
basement door, in pursuance of my plan to
drop the basket and run.
In my rubber shoes my steps were noise-
less, and I had scarcely passed the threshold
when I stood rooted to the. floor in terrible
amazement.
Somebody was talking. ,
I crept forward and listened. There was
a man in the vault, and a light shone under
the door. ,
While I listened somebody said :
“There is a confounded draft hole; did
you shut the door Smith ?"
“Yes, but tho wind might have blown it
open.” 0
I had just time to dart under the staircase
and crouch down, when the door of the vault
opened and a man came out.
He crossed the entry, drew two heavy,
noisy bolts, fastened the door by which I
had entered, and returned without closing
the vault door. ‘ .
I could look in by the dim light and see
two men working at tho‘safe locks by the
stream of light thrown from a dark lantern.
There was the outline of a man bound and
gagged upon the floor, and I could only cou—
jecturc that it" was Tom, for I could not see
distinctly.‘
There I was nicely caged. for it would be
impossible for me to draw those heavy bolts
without attracting notice. And the bank was
being robbed. that was evident. How could
I prevent it ? I could reach Tom. Sudden-
ly I remembered the telegraph ofiice on the
second floor. If I could summon help from
0—, it was only five miles, and there was
a long job for the burglars before they could
open the safe. '
I could creep around the staircase. If one
of those busy men turned his head I was lost.
I softly crept on all fours, slowly, watch-
fully and gained the stairs. Up I darted,
bless'yg my India rubber shoes, till I gained
the door of the telegraph ofiico. All was
dark there and I dared not strike a match.
I listened, and then leaving the door open,
groped my way to the well-known desk and
gave the signal for C'—. I could hear my
heart tlrrob as I waited for the answer. It
camel Still working in the dark, I sent this
this message :
“Bur-glare in the Baysville bank vaultl
Watchman gagged and bound! Can you
send help?"
Again the agony of suspense in listening,
but at last the sound reached me: .
“Will send help immediately I"
l crept to the head of the staircase afraid
the clear ring of the instrument had been
heard in the vault, but no one came up stairs
The windows of the telegraph ofilco faced
. the street, so I returned, bolted myself in
safely and sat down to watch.
The town clock gave one resonant stroke,
breaking the deep silence, and no signs of
life were visible in the long stretch of road
leading to 0—. I was numb with cold,
wishing heartily that I had not left Tom's
basket antler the staircase, thinking regret-
fully of my own cozy bed, when I heard afar
off the sound of horses feet.
No sister Anne, in Bluebeard's tower, was
ever more watchful than I was then. Would
the burglars take the alarm?
The building made a corner of two streets
and I saw eight mounted men dash up the
road, separate, and while four dismounted in
front, IOIJI‘ went to the rear.
The burglars were unprepared for this
flank movement, for while the police in front
were thundering at the main extranoe, the
robbers rushed to the rear' basement door
right into the arms of the police stationed
there.
I could hear the hubbub, pistol shots fired,
the scufiie of feet, cries, oaths and general
confusion; and I slipped down stairs and out
of the now deserted main entrance and ran
home.
Everybody was in bed, and I‘ went to my
room, had a crying spell, and comforted my
half frozen body in double blankets, where I
soon fell asleep.
All this was on Friday night, and I had no
teaching to do until Monday ; so I slept late,
but coming down I found all the family pre-
pared to make a heroine of me.
“I never knew, until mother told me this
morning," said Tom, “that it wasn’t grandpa
who sent the telegram to 0—. By Jove,
Olive, you’re spunky, if you are little.”
Tom then described in detail his exper-
iences, and added:
“I gave up when four of thorn pounced on
me from one of the upper rooms. They must
havc'got in during the day and hid there."
I tried to make the Knights promise not to
tell my adventure, but could not. Before
night all Baysvillc knew how Olive Hudson
caught the burglars. I was in the office with
grandpa, when over the wir s came this mes-
sage:
“What does Olive Hudson look like? ;
Everybody in Dryden is talking about her.
great exploit. " .
I flashed back :
“What do you suppose such a woman
would look like? She is nearly six feet tall,
broad-shouldered and loud-voiced,—a per-
fect Elephant ?f’
“Was it really yourself, Elephant 1‘"
' “Dear Lion, it was I",
“Do you know, I want to see you. I am
going to New York to-day, but I'll be‘back
next spring."
If he came to Boysville he did not see me.
I ran away in a fit of shyness.
In March a wonderful thing happened.
My mother’s brother, who had been 17 years
—uearly all my lifetime—4n Cuba, came out
to New York, found me out, and took mt?
into a life of case and luxury,makiug me pet
in his splendid house. He was a bachelor,
over fifty years of age, handsome and well-
informed, and with large wealth.
He introduced me to old friends of his. and
my circle of acquaintances widened every
each other well.
One day uncle George brought homcto dln-
ncr a stranger, who he introduced as:
“The son of ‘my old friend, Olive, Mr.
Roberts.”
I made myself agreeable, as in duty bound,
to Mr. Roberts, a man of thirty, or there-
abouts, with a face that was downright. ugly,
but pleasant from the expression of frank
good humor and intelligence upon it. We
talked of everything, and I was surprised at
the coug’eniality of taste we soon discovered.
In an animated discussion of heroines, Mr.
Roberts, turning to uncle George, said :
. “You were kindlyiuquiriug this morning
about my fortune since father died, but I did
not tell you one little episode. Before I was
fortunate enough to obtain my present lucra-
tive position, I was for a timetolograph op-
erator in a small place called 'Dryden, and
there I heard of a real heroine, of whom the
.world will probably never hear." .
I know what was coming, but kept my
face perfectly composed 'to listen. When
the story was finished, giving uncle George
a sly punch to keep‘him quiet. I said :
“What kind of a locking person was this
wonderful heroine l"
"I never saw her. Although Baysville was
the next village to Dryden, I never went
there. But she was described to me as tall,
strong and masculine}! ~
“In short, my dear Lion," I saldigravely,
“she was a. perfect Elephant.” "
- Such I stare as greeted me I am certain
never came upon Leo Robert's face before or
since that hour. His eyes dilated‘ till I
thought that they would pap out of , his door
ugly face, and his mouth opened in utter
amazement. Finally he remembered his
manners, and gasped:
“Pardon me, I—was it really you ?"
“Uncle George," I said, “will you be kind
.
day. I wait entirely happy, for we loved}
- enough to introduce me properly to Mr. Rob-
erts? I believe he thinks your niece must
hear your name.”
With a flourish, Uncle George arose and
gravel y introduced: .
“Mr. Leo Roberts, 'Miss.OIive Hudson;
Miss Hudson, Mr. Roberts.”
After that'we could not certainly he ran-
gore, and Mr. Roberts came often to dine
with Uncle George.
And one day there was a wedding, where
the bride was very small, buried in lace and
orange blossoms, and tho bridegroom was
ugly and good natured: but it was a true
love match, a fit ending for the flirtation
commenced at Dryncn and‘Baysvillc, “Over
the Wire."
Early Spring Costumes.
STYLES FOR YOUNG WOMEN WHO LIKE TO BE
PIOTURESQUE.
Early spring costumes have already ap-
peared, and among these are the stylish and
serviceable tweed suits made up in a number
of different ways. (First are those with a
plain skirt, trimmed around the foot with n
rushing. pinked out on each. edge, and over
this skirt is to be worn a “rediugote john"
of the same goods, fastened with gilt buttons,
and also trimmed down each side and around
the lower edge with a narrow pinked rucbe.
Next are killed skirts of tweed, joined to
jersey bodies of‘ a monochrome color, with a
scarf drapery of tweed covering the joint of
skirt and bodice. Over the shoulders is a
pelsrino 'of'tbe tweed, lined with surah the
shade of the jersey. Lastly are the jauuty
styles for young ladies who aspire to the
natty and the picturesque. Here is a model
of one of the latter description: The pat-
tern is plaid in light and dark green, with
intersecting hair lines of_dark cardinal. The
skirt is arranged in three fiouncos, laid in
flat box-pleats, with hour turned up on tho
right side and finished with a piping 10f
cardinal silk. Over this is a very graceful
Hungarian tunic, also piped with cardinal.
The tweed coat is Louis XIV. style, with
waistcoat of cardinal. At each side are wide
pocket-flaps. These flaps, and the front of
the waistcoat are brightened by large silver
and enameled buttons, the designs bciug
dogs', foxes,’ and dcur’s beads. Around the
edge of each button is a narrow rim of dark
cardinal enamel. The cuffs of the jacket are
piped with cardinal and are thrcein number,
placed one above the other.
For the promenade or travolling wear is
added a long lpelisse, made of the tweed and
lined with cardinal. The sleovesgarc mado
a is Mother Hubbard and at the throat are
wide ribbons of Ottoman silk. of dark' green
faced with cardinal. These tie in a large
how, the long ends falling: nesrlyito, the bot-
tom of the long pelisse.——New York Evening

A Husband’s Duty.
A very grave responsibility has the man
assumed in his marriage. Dotiug parents
have confided to his care the welfare of a
loved daughter, and a trusting woman has
risked all her future happiness in his keep-
lug. Largely will it depend upon him
whether her pathway shall be strewn with
thornes or roses. .
Let your wife fully understand your busi-
ness. In nearly every case she will be found
a most valuable adviser when she understands
all your circumstancet’. If a dispute arises
dismiss the subject with a kind word and do
not seek to carry your point by discussion.
It is a glorious achievement to master oue’s
own temper. You may discover that you_
are in error, and if your wife is wrong she
will gladly, in her cooler moments acknowl-
edge thc fault. ‘
Never neglect'your wife for all the world
besides. Never deceive; confidence once lost
can never be wholly regained. Never give
all your pleasant words and smiles to stra E
gers—the kindest words and sweetest smil.
should be reserved for home. Home should
be your heaven.
Never fail to tell your wife the truth ; if
truthful you get your reward—you will get
your punishment if you deceive. Never foil
to say a’kiud, encouraging word t) your
wife; praise and encourage her. To keep
her love, be kind and loving—always be a
lover. .
And last and above all, to keep your wfe’s
love and respect, he a strictly temperate
man. It‘would be difficult to love and honor
a man whom she is compelled to look down
upon, who would drag himself, wife and
children down to poverty, shame and dil-
grace. One and all, turn from the intoxi-
cating cup. That alone makes more misery,
causes more unhappy homes and is the great-
est curso on earth. God pity the poor wife
with an iutamperatc man. Her life’s hap-
piness will be completely destroyed by such
a union. Better 'a thousand times the single,
free and independent maideuhood than mar-
ried to a man addicted to dissipated habits.
Don’t go “down town” every night to see a
man, and then expect your wife to be all
smiles when you come home.

, The annual report of the Conuecfiut Ag-

THE J E‘VEIJ- OBSEQUIES AT HARTFORD—53R-
VIOE! AT THE HOUSE AND THE CHURCH—A
MILITARY ESCORT—THE FINAL FAREWELL.
Wtcn Marshall Jewell was laid to rest yes-
terday in Hartford where he had lived so
long and worthy a life, the day was indeed a
day of mourning for that city; the flags at
half-mast, public offices and business Enlees
closed, and the throngs of people assembled
herennd there betokened the final prepara‘
tious for consigning to the gravo the noble
form.
The arrangements were as previously au-
nouuccd, with the exception that Rev. Dr.
Parker officiated in the place of Rev. Mr.
Twitchell, whose illness prevented him fiom
participating in the ceremonies. By eleven
o'clock, when the private services at the resi-
dence on Farmington avenue began, there
was a large assemblage of people wending
their way towards the hill to witness the pas-
sage of the funeral cortcge. At the house
Rev. Dr. Parker conducted the simple and
impressive services which consisted of scrip.
ture reading, singing of the hymns “Send
Kindly Light” and “Jesus Lover of My Soul"
by a quartette, and prayer. The body was
in the parlor, at the left of the main entrance
of the house, in a casket covered with black
broadcloth, with silver mountings. The de-
ceased was dressed in a suit of black, the
face looking very natural and peaceful.
Within the casket were loose flowers; at the
foot of the casket was a large Maltese cross,
upon which was the word “Papa ;" just back
of the casket was 'a floral pillow, and on the
carpet beneath lay two palm branches and a
1 Meal of cannons. an the members of the
II Staff Association were present. They
. their badges, and above these black
-,,.s bearing the words:

February 14, l883,
In Memoriam.
As the stat, bearing the remains, left the
house, the foot guards presented arms and
Colt’s band played a dirgo. The procession,
escorted by the military, proceeded to the
Asylum Hill Congregational church, which
was filled. The band ceased playing, the
muffled drums were sounded and tho line
halted. As the casket was borne to the church
the military presented arms, and Dr. James
G. Barnett, an old friend of the Jewell fami-
ly, drew soft music from the organ. A guard
of honor of eight men from the Foot Guard
stood near the casket during the period allot-
ted to viewiugthe remains, and thousands of
people availed themselves olfhe opportunity.
A special drawing room'cnr attached to
the noon train brought Postmaster General
Howe. General Frank Hutton, R. A. Elmer,
‘A. D. Hazen, S. M. Bryan, W. B. Thomp-
son, Z Moses and John Jameson of Wash-
ington, representing the post ofilce depart—
ment. There were also present ex-Secretary
of State Bristow, ex-Postmuster General
James,'ex-Governors Blgelow and English,
Mayor Lewis, Hon. N. I. Sperry, Hon. 0. L.
Mitchell, General Harmon, General Greeley,
James M. Townsend, Dexter B. Wright, F
A. Gilbert, Wilbur F. Day, II. C. Frost and
Morris F. Tyler of New Haven. The work-
men from the Jewell factory marched In u

city.
At 2:30 o’clock the Episcopal responsivo
burial chant was sung, Dr. Parker following
with a scriptural reading. The choir snug
again, “Friend After Friend Departs," and
Dr. Parker delivered an address—made brief
at the request of the family. After the cou-
ciuding hymn, “Their Sun Shall no More Go
Down." Senator Hawley pronounced a fit-
ting tributc to the memory of the deceased.
The besrers.were ex-Goveruors Hubbard
and Bigelow, Hon. Benjamin H. Bristow of
New York. Senator Hoyt of Stamford, C.
M. Hiumau of New York, Mayor Morgan G.
Bulkeley of Hartford, and Francis Wayland
and General Merwlu of New Haven. The
fire bell was tolled during the services. The
remains were followed to Cedar Hill ceme-
tery. At the family vault Rev. Dr. Parker
read the burial service.
The most impressive feature of the day
occurred in the vault after all excepting those
who had served as staff officers under Gover-
nor Jewell had gone, when even the nearest
relatives had departed. As these gentleman
who had been intimately associated with the
deceased stood handiu baud about the re-
mains, General Merwiu ravereutially placed
above the body a wreath of immortelles bearing
the word “farewell,” and said: Comrades, it
is finished. A noble life in the full ,flush of
manhood has been cutoff, as it appears to us,
at a time of its greatest msnfulness. He wh'o
gave has taken; in humble submission we
how. The form of our loved and honored
commander lies cold in death before us. It
would be ilLtimed for me to dwell upon his
many virtues; you know them a! well as I.
We are here to pay our last tribute of respect ;
give utterance to the feelings of the heart,
the voice trembles with emotion, the lips
quiver, the eyes are dimmed with tears of
sorrow. As we speak the lost farewell, each
in his sadness will carry away fond memo-
ries of a true friend. Around his casket we,
with sorrowiug hearts, are whispering those
bitter words, good-bye. With one long, lin-
gering look, frioud, companion, brother, we
bid thee farewell.

We have been summoned once more to the

comes not, as heretofore, from the prompt-

author of “Home, Sweet Home" 10“",le
to be carried to Marseilles. wheucollioy, am
to be forwarded to America. Yesterday,”
10 o'clock, A. m., I webt’to'tho not unattrac-
tive and decidedly ueut Protestant cemetery
of St. George, situated on high, wall-aur-
rouuded ground within the city. I was
agreeably disappointed in the appearance of
this God’s acre, as I had read in American
newspapers that Puyu'e's grave was a neglec-
ted one, in a neglected burial ground. On
the contrary, the grounds were planted with
flourishing and fragrant ton-bushes, splendid
clumps of heliotropos. sud hedges of carna-
tion pinks and geraniums, while the. walks
were clean and smootbl and the stones and
monuments snowy while in the morning sun.
Ishould think the inclo'gnro contained about
an acre, and almost in the center of it was
the grave of Payne. At the head of the
grave was standing as large and beautiful
pepper tree, branches of which bunt lender-
ly and drooping over the tomb. This, tho
finest and noblest tree In the placca‘a‘s plant-
ed by one of Payufls ti" , ,t and best friends
in Paris—M. Chappelliéfi-who was present
at the death and interment of the poet.
From M. Cbappellic also Mr. Reade, the
British consul, under whose directions the
disintermout took places"); learned much. of
Payne’s last days and~slckuess. The narr-
ativu of them is a painful. Let it 'sullcc‘ if
said by the two or three "gout‘lcméu present
at the'exhumation who hall 'familialy kpowul
Payne, that his character through'disappoiut-
had'become of a sad, soft and delicately mel-
ancholy that was, while gentle and pitiful,at
the same time most winning and beautiful.
His illness was a long and‘ painful” one, but
he had most faithful 'and loving friends: in:
M. Chappclliu, M. Pisaul, Mr. Readc,’Mmo.
Cbappellie (an Americaujboru lady with- an
American heart), and a' certain—now old—-
Arab dragoman—whose attachment to the
poet was deep and sincere. I saw this hou-
ost man at the exhumation, wearing his Arabn
contume,belicving in the Mohotnetau relig-
ion, butfull of Christ—like humanity, The .
Europeans present at. the grove on this sunny
Friday morning were about a dozen iu num-
ber, several Arab gentlemen being also -on
the ground in their rich and picturesque
dress and turbans. ' ' _ 4
The cofilmwas reachodlby the workmen
at about 12 o’clock, and was carefully lifted
and placed on the broad marble slab which
for thirty years had covered it, and which
bears the following infcriptlou:
“a rwalfms U-NUM.
(shield and angle.) .
“In memory ot.CoI.John Howard Payne,twlce
Consul of the. United States of America for the
city and kingdom of. Tunis, this stone is here
placed by a‘ grateful_cou_ntry. “He died at the
American consulate in this city after a tedibns
illness, April lst,1852. He was born at the city
of Boston, State of Massachusetts, June am, 1792.
His fame as a. Boat and Dramatrst is well known
wherever the language rs spoken, through his
celebrated Ballad of 'Home. Sweet Home,’ and
his popular tragedy of ‘Brntus’ and other similar
productions. ~‘
On the four edges-of-‘this
ed:
"Sure. when thy gentle spirit fled
To realms beyond the azure dome,
With arms outstretched, God’s angel said,
‘Weloomu to Heaven’s Home, Sweet Home.’ ”
The cofln was badly rotted in spite of the
care taken by United States Consul Fish,
who several months ago iucased it in cement
for its better preservation. A little thread-
liko root of the pepper-tree had made its way
into the grave and coffin, and was just about
to pass across the forehead. Some of our
mother earth had got in the coffin and min-
gled with the bones. The whole skeleton
was obtained and laid revorently in a new
coffin, which was covered with lead,soldered
and sealed. This was, then placed in a neat,
native hard wood ,cofilb, which was socurod
by locks and keys, all then being put in the
strong, iron-bound outside box, which bore
the address: “To United States Consul Tay-
lor, Marseilles, France.”
At 3 o‘clock in the afternoon the body was
taken to the small and simple Protestant
church and placed near the pretty little
chancel window on which are [inscribed
those words:
“To {be Memory of
Joan Ho‘nn Paras,
Author of “Home, Sweet Home. "
This window was made in England and
placed hero by a few English-speaking resi-
dents of Tunis whose admiration and re-
spect for Payne were decided an incore.
Indeed I found among the posts friends
an affectionate regard that was skin to en-
thusiasm. They grieved to lose the sacred
bones that had lulu here for thirty long
years—the object of their loving and cease
less care. When the body was carried into
the church on English gentleman at the lit-
tle American-made organ played the air and
a sweet-voiced American lady sang the im-
mortal song of the dead poet; and 18 the
tender words tremulousl floated through
and filled the holy place, hearts swelled,eyes
were suffused, and “a charm from the skies
seemed to haltow us there." '
Tongue cannot tell her pen describe the
eflect of that soug,ouug under the circum-
stances I havo stated. The gloaming of the
coming evening had crept into the chapel
and the “dim religious light" that Payne's
poetic temperament could have understood
and nbsorbed,-bathed all, living and dead,
in its mellow radiance. The twilight came
on space and we left the poor remains to lie
there until the morrow,guardod by the faith:
ful dragomon who in life, as in death, was
staunch and faithful to the lost. .
Today the 'body was taken to tho Marina
and put aboard a boat and rowed down tho
bay and out into the open, where it was re-
ceived on the French steamer, which soon
after was en route to Marseilles. Thus John
Howard Payne left Tunis to be rsburied in
the land he» loved, to sleep henceforth under
the flag he served so well, not again, it is to
be hoped, to be disturbed, but to lie dream-
loss and tranquil iu the soil or his own home,-
sWeet homo. Visiting the cemetery to—day,
I found the marble slab replaced over the
new empty tomb, the debris removed, and
all about the grave looking as neat as possi-
ble. Mr. Reade—whose admirable manage-‘-
'meut of the exhumation and compliance with
every wish and instruction of ' the United
States Government in the matter cannot be
too highly commended—said to me: “We
shall put back the slab with its inscription,
adding thereto the fact and date of the re—
moval of the body to the United States, and
shall then religiously preserve and keepp'ure
and clear the' marble that we marked his
grave with more thou a quarter of a century
ago; but daoper, clearer than carved epitaph
we shall cherish the memory of poor Payne
in our heart of hearts."

Having recently purchased the
drug store, at; above location, form-
erly occupied by Mr. Mo'nson Hoyt,
I have purposely deferred calling
attention to the change until I had
completed the entire reconstruction
and re-stocking of the establishment.
After many weeks of close and con-
stant devotion to the task, I have
now perfected all my arrangements
and can conscienciously solicit the
patronage of the public. It shall
constitute my aim and ambition to
establish a first-class Pharmacy in
every respect, stocked and equipped
in the most thorough manner, and
to attain this end I shall devote my
entire time, attention, and the many
years of active experience as phar-
macist and chemist which I have
bad. My kind patrons may rely im-

I give you good counsel: you- gnut'it Io so.
Awept then, the precept, to pay so you go.
From bankruptcy, peuury, ruin and'woo.
The practice will save you, ‘to pay as you go.
Perfunctbry payments!- poy in advance,
Thus giving a slippery debtor a chance
To deny» the debit, to traffic on trust,
And never make payments, ‘exc'opfwheu ho
. ' must. ' ' ‘ ' ' 4
Who prepoys for service, bids-high for a
« ' brawl, * -
And poorest .pnymuters will not pay at all.
Of all mediums-feral“ barrio thooue
Who pays, no he bargains, when service is
‘ do‘ne. '
A Learn early this lesson, to pay as yolgo,
And troublesome traders, to answer, no, M,
Buyfioul'y the neodful ; pay «forth and pway ;
Thus dread not the Sheriff's perplexing pay
day. . '
~Hov; much do I need it? This question re-
view;
Ere making a purchslo, of old things or now.
When things are not needfnl. ‘twero better to
sleep
Thaupurchase for money because they are
cheap.
I traflcers clamor, “longcredit, long credit,"
Beware of contracting n't'ronblosome debit.
Long credit extended stern pay-day will
come, ~ ~ - '
Demanding quick payment or lien on your
home.‘
Your home is your castle. Brood acres or
lot.
Palatial mansion, log cabin or cot.
Give never a judgment, a scratch nor a dot,
Nor long, nor short mortgage, on that sacred
- spot.
I'd give liens on my soul to the devil's chief
stoker,
Before I would mortgage my home to a /
broker.
A just debt contracted may not excite fear,
Provided one always can me his way clear,
In spite of reverse, or unlucky day,
To certainly cancel his promise to pay.
’Tis unphilosophic for one to sum,
That trading on credit can never do baim.
. How frequent are families happy and gay,
Deprived of possessions and driven away,
Whose hearts, wrung with anguish, are
bleeding to-day,
By promise made when unablo to pay.
The seasons return and depart in all climeo,
The sun, moon and stars rise and set in their
times ;
The birds have a" season to build and to sing,
The green grass and herbage to unfold and
spring.
And flowers to wither at Winter's cold
. breath,
Eachbasits own season, but pay-day and
death.
No blister will torment, when naught, will
allay,
Like papers protested, and nothing to pay.
No penury cringes and unliifies credit,
Like does on n mortgage,or uncancelled debit.
When stocks are inactive, and prices are low,
Submit to small wages, but pay as you go.
If markets are sluggish and trading is slow,
Accept the position and pay as you'lgo.
When barter, or trafiio. ortruck you bestow,
Return for each dollar a fair quid pro quo.
If traffic forbid you to pay as you go,
Take heed to this ,connsel, you’d better not
go. _ .
Negotiate, bargain and ever deal fair,
And write every document with legal care.
Grief gnaws on the vitnls of knaves when
bound strong,
But honest man smile at a pen-and-iuk thong.
To promise uttered fail not to respond,
And think a fair promise as good as your
bond.
Keep honest cents rolling in financial cllmes,
And income will soon change the ulckels to
dimes.
Let dimes in the market he purchased and
sold, .
And sgon will their values be dollars fgold.
Five dollars invested at intorest legal,
Willi income, will soon swell the sum to an
eagle.
When pennies come slowly, and dimes ap-
pear single,
Disbursc so the purchase will pleasantly
jingle.
Don't grittle‘r your dollars for gewgaws and
no
But week! y demait whoroleach one will chink
Call not on a helper through pride or for polf,
To do what is easy for dignified self.
When one cannot earn half a dollar a day,
’l‘is better to work for a dime than to play. '
The diligent peuury never will know,
Who husband their earnings and pay as they
go.
Who leans on religion, and friendship and
church, -
To favor his business, will be in the lurch,
For kinship and friendship, religion and
prayers, .
Are seldom admitted in business affairs.
How grand would our paradise be bore below,
If mortals would practice to pay as they go.
Would you the true secret of happiness know,
And would you have streams of contentment
to flow,
Along the whole pathway of life, soft and
slow,
Adhere to this precept to pay as you go.
