How Two Brothers Settled a. Claim to 3 Lovely Quakeress. The later assemblies of Annapolis. Marlborough and Chestertown, were hardly more “in vogue” than the yearly meetings of the Eastern Shore Quakers. Their curious quaintness, and the pic- turesque contrast they presented to the radiant attire and libertine manners of the world’s peOple, who minuetted and coquetted in manor houses, and caroused and rufiied in cockpits and bowling courts, drew Romanists and “English Catholics” to the doors of their sober conventicle, and filled its leafy ap- proaches with profane chariots and chairs, and prancing steeplechasers, and side-saddled palfreys. So it hap- pened that, to the yearly meeting held at Third Haven, near Talbot Court House. in the year 1700, there came by opposite ways, through groups of booths erected bythe graceless and irreverent for the sale of trumpery and tipple, a Quaker maiden mounted on a pillion behind her father, and twovplumed and rapiered cavaliers gaily ern-voting. The wimpled maid, whose overcoming charms still bloom in tradition, was Sarah Covington, of Somerset, and the prancing cavaliers were the brothers, Edward and Philemon Lloyd, sons of Madam Henrietta Marie, aforesaid. Immediately the pretty lads, with a sudden, equal passion, loved the wim~ pled maid, and yearned for her, and each conceived a cunning purpose. proper to the country and the time, and shrewdly held his peace. 5 When the meeting was over, the brothers, each taking. his cunning scheme in hand, mounted and galloped away,‘ taking different ways; and they rode hard, laughing as they rods for joy, at their boyish artifice. After lin- gering for awhile in places remote from the highway, where there was no fear of discovery by any chance acquaint- ance, and so that the slower Quaker folk might have time to regain their homes, they rode on into Somerset— and met at their charmer’s gate. First they swore, then they blushed, and then they laughed loud and long. Phil said: “Let her be for whichever, you or I, did see her first,” and Ned, the elder, and the heir, assented. Then said Phil: “No sooner had I taken my place in the meeting than I beheld the girl, and loved her.” ' And Ned said: “I passed the night before the meeting at the ‘Peach-Blos- som‘ farm, and at the foot of the hill, turning into the gate at the water mill, I saw the girl on a pillion behind her father, and‘they inquired the way to the meeting house, and I loved her.” Then Phil rode -back to Talbot, and Ned dismounted at the gate, and led his horse to the porch. Thus, in 1703, Sarah Covington, became the wife of the heir and mistress of Wye House. She, it was who, in 1733, built with “English” brick the house of “Read- bourne,” in Queen Anne’s county, that typical colonial mansion, still in excel- lent preservation, and showing an im- posing pile fitted with materials brought overufrom England, where the noble hall and the broad stairway of the period confer a characteristic distinc- tion.f—‘-The Century. . A Landmark Going. With the passing of the old four- story brown-stone house at Nineteenth street and Broadway, which was once the home of Peter Goelet, and the erec tion of a modern office building on the site, New York loses a. familiar land- mark and country visitors the sugges- tion of home which the'cow occasional- ly seen in the yard gave to them. The cow hasn’t been seen for several years, but there was ‘a time when it was as much of a. curiosity to strangers in this city as if it had been a strange animal from a. circus. Delmonico’s is another landmark that is soon to disappear. When this famous old restaurant moves up town it will leave behind the traditions that are now histOry. During the past two years half’a dozen of the historical old hotels in this city have been torn down and their sites buried under big office buildings.——New York Sun. Their Code Complete.
