“Oh dear i" cried pretty Edith May. a!
Elle 6wung to and fro in the ,hammcc i"
I ione‘bca‘utiful‘ mid-slimmer afternoon.
I ' I“Next week pups and Fred Will come
from New York, and brini‘.’ that detestable
Will Jarvis witli'tlicm! To think that I
must marry him, and I’ve chcr even seen
him! Why will people be so silly as to
. insisl that their children-shall marry one
another, whethcrithcy want to, or not'?
Just because papa’s'old fricnd, Mr. Jarvis
had to have thc'promisc that his son and
I should marry-before he died, we’ve got
to get married,and hate each other always!
on, Will Jarvis, I hate you already!”
and Edith‘ brought her hands together ‘
emphatically; . _ .
“I hopc‘l'don’t'intrudc?” said a vmcc-
lit heralds... ,1 '7 *
'Shi: started up in surprise to face a
young man with a very amused face, a
great dog beside-him. ' .
“May I troublc;you for a glass of water P”
proceeded thestranger politely, though a
sudden gleam offilau‘ghtcr appeared in his
eyes at the sight of her crimson checks.
“Certainly, though 'it is no trouble,"
answered Edith. It was no strange oc-
currence for people to stop there for a
. drink ‘of'thei'r ice-cold water, or to rest on
the" shady piazza ;‘for‘ it was quite a dis-r
tunes from any other house. Besides in
country places like Gle’nville, one expects
to offer such refreshment ‘ to strangers,
without stopping to enquire who they are.
So pr'ctty Edith May walked up to the
house, beside the stranger. talking pleas-
antly tohim the while.
“What a beautiful village this is!” he
said to her, pausing at the piazza steps
and looking back over the lawn and wide,
white road, to the hills beyond the river.
“Isn‘t it ?" she said, swinging her hat
by the Strings. “And yet, do you know,”
she added, slooping to pat the great dog
that had followed close beside them,—
“sometimes I grow so tired of it, and
long to go out in the world and see the
beautiful things there are in it! It must
be so nice to travel from place to place,
just as your fancy dictates! But there!
while I’ve been talking you have been
waiting patiently for that glass of cold
water i” _ ~
As she paused Mrs. May came out on
he piazza.
“Where have youbeen, child? I have
called you till I was tired. Even Mar-
garet could not tell me where you we're.
gone. Good afternoon,” she added, turn-
ing to the gentleman at her daughter's
side, “Will you not come in and rest ‘17"
And as be mounted _lhe steps Edith
disappeared around the corner of the
house, in the direction of the kitchen.
“Margaret l " she cried, bursting into
that worthy woman’s domain, like asnlall
whirl-wind, “Do take this glass of wet or
to the gentleman on the piazza with
mamma !, I've made ii fool bf myself and
won't carry it,——so there i”
“Dear me, Miss Edith !” exclaimed the
old servant, lifting her hands in astonish-
mcnt, ‘ ‘Whut havc you been doing now .9"
“Nothing much," answered Edith, more
quietly, “But do go with the water, Mar-
garct.”
Presently the woman appeared again, a
look of indignation and dismay on her
face.
“Wllathfor goodness sake! do you sup-
pose your mother has gone and done, Miss
Editll? What, to he sure, hilt asked that
man to stay till your father came home?
And his name, of all things ! Mr. Willis
Robert—robber I guess, more'n likely!
I don't believe he’s any friend of the
family”-—Murgarct was very fond of that
expression—“but just some smart chap
who knows o’ the silver in the house and
that the master’s away, so passes himself
off as a decent, respectable person to steal
into the honest folks’ houses ! You mark
my words, Miss Edith, that man hasn’t
come for nothing; and if he don't steal
something, it’ll be funny!” Her face was
quite red with excitement. f
Edith laughed.
“I don’t like him much myself,Mar-
gal-ct; but that’s no reason for his being
a thief! Come now, where did you get
all this news from ?” .
“Law sakes, Miss Edith! didn’t your
mother jest tell me to fix the room oppo-
~ site yours, ’causc the gentleman—gentle-
man indeed !—is to wait till the master
and Mr. Teddy come home ? Oh, the
villainous looking man, with his black
eyes and hair ! Don't you have anything
to do with him, Miss‘Edith! But if he
don’t rob us I”- ‘
Edith was amused at the woman's an-
ger. but wished in her heart, that he
would not st'ay.’
“What must he think of me ? Of course
he must have heard what I said! But I’ll
have to make. the best of it! Oh dear!"
Well, for all Margaret’s doleful predic-
tion, things went on as usual in the May
household. Perhaps Edith was rather
shy in the stranger’s presence, but that
may have beeudue to the many admiring
glances he bestowed on her, and the pe~~
culiar tone of his voice when he address-
ed her. He was very entertaining, and
Mrs. May liked him exceedingly. As to
Edith she—yes, she liked him also, she
decided at last. .
As I have already said, things went on
as usual—till the night before the arrival
of Mr. May and son.
That night Edith was nervous.
“I‘declarc,” she said to herself, as she
stood before the mirror in the room, slow-
ly brushing out her beautiful hair , “if I
were superstitious I would say something
strange was going to happen to-night!
How pleasant Mr. Robert is !” she added
softly, her thoughts wandering far away.
Through the early part of the night her
sleep was troubled by odd dreams, and'
she tossed restlc'ssly. At last as the hours
lengthened toward midnight, she {woke
suddenly with the peculiar sensation of a
presence in the room. r
Shc listened breathlessly. Yes she could
hear a sound of breathing, and soft foot-
falla on the heavy carpet!
Without daring to move, she lay listen-
ing, certain that every heart beat must. be
audible. .
Hark! was that the bureau drawer?
Then there flashed across her mind, the
thought of what Margaret had said of Mr
Robert. Could it be possible he was an
impostor ?_ ll-Iad he used her brother’s
name to gain a footing in file house, and
then rob them ?
The breathing neared, then went farther
away, and the foot-steps sounded fainter.
Was it really going w
her? . . .
Edith womlered,rwlillc cold (.lllllS
crept over her. She raised up to look;
but at her first movement the footsteps
hesitated; tllcnlurrlcd and came toward
the bed. .
There was a sound of a heavy chair fall-
ing,—a ttruggicmnd with all her might
Edith shrieked for help.
There was a rush in the hall, mingled
with cxcitcd voices and tllcn, Mrs. May
with two or three servants burst into tllc

flashcd full in the faccof—Willis Robert!
“So it was you i” cried Edith excitedly.
“A nice man you are to steal into people’s
houses and rob tllcm! To come in the
daytime as an honest man, and after win-
ning our confidence rob us! I despise
you! How dare you!"

NEATLY, Qurcxmr a: CHEAPLY Exzcnm;
Mr. Robert's face was full of astonish-
ment, smothered laughter, and a touch of
indignation. ,
“Edith! Edith!” exclaimed her mother.
“What do you mean ? who has been rob-
hing us P"
“That man i” answered Edith, with
scornful lips and flashing eyes. “He has
been here in my room searching in the
dark for {anything valuable he could carry
away with him !. Margaret said he was a
robber, but I didn't believe it !”
“ch!” joined in the old servant, as
much excited as Edith was. ' “No honest
man would steal into a house when the ,
masters arc gonc,—for any good. ' You
villain! you—”
“Margaret, how dare you !” cricd Mrs.
May, angrily. Mr.-_ Robert shook his head
at her. ‘
“Miss Edith,” he said y‘grovely, though
his eyes were dancing with mischief, “I
.think you have misjudged me. I came in
your home as no thief. Your mother has
known me a long time. Your father and
brother are dear friends of mine. It is
trim your room was entered to-night ;
but by no robber. ‘ Rollo has always been .
used to sleeping in my room; but last
night he was shut out unintentionally.
I suppose he came up stairs and entered
your room as it is the first one at the head.
of the landing. There he is. I trust you
will forgive us both i" And with a wave
of his hand, Mr. Robert retreated to Mrs.
May’s side.
Edith had listened in angry astonish-
ment; and as he finished speaking, she
turned to where he had pointed.
Mr. Robert’s great Newfoundland dog,
Rollo, lay struggling on .thc floor, hope-
lessly tangled in the folds of one of
Editli’s own dresses! He had run against
the chair, upset if, and as he attempted to
run away, had gone head first into the
dress.
Edith struggled against her inclination
to laugh at the ludicrous figure, and her
mortification at her mistake; but laughter
gained the day, and she burst into a merry
pea! which was taken up by the others,
excepting Margaret who slipped quietly
.out of the room. ,
Mr. May and his son returned the next
day, and heard the whole story, of course.
The rest of the summer Mr. Robert
spent at the May homestead, and before
he left he had a little conversation with
Edith, which ended in Christmas day
being fixed for their wedding.
It is true her parents held up to her the
promise they had made that she should
marry Mr. Jarvis. She was in love, and
firm and hadhcr way. '
But it was not till they were about to
enter their names in the book at church,
that pretty, wilful Edith learned she had
married that detestable Willis Jarvis after
a!!!
“Iliad heard how you disliked me !"
her husband said, in explanation. “So we
agreed—your parents and I—to practice a
little deception on you. But when you
flow at me so the night Rollo stolcjnto
your room, I was afraid all was over !”
He had touched tliI right chord. Edith
had been very much ashamed of her con-
ddct‘ that night; so now they agreed to
"forgivcnnd forget."
Edith was very happy as Will Jarvis’
wife, and they seldom mcrltion the adven-
ture in her room long ago. Though Mar-
garet insists she was right in regard to
him, after all.
“Why, don’t you see," she would ox-
claim; “I said he was a thief, am! wasn’t
I true? He didn’t st eai the silver nor
nothing of that sort ; but he did rob us of
our dear Miss Edith l”
So Edith did marry Willis Robert J ar-
vis, and Margaret's robber at the same
time !

The‘y Could Not Bear It.
In his account of a journey west on an
emigrant train, Mr. R. L. Stevenson rc-
lates this incident:
It was a troubled, uncomfortable even-
ing in the cars. There was thunder in the
air, which helped to keep us restless. A
"man played many airs upon the corner,
and none of them were much attended
to until he came to “Home, Sweet
Home.” It was truly strange to note
how the talking ceased at that, and the
faces began to lengthen. I have no idea
whether musically this air is to be con-
sidered good or bad; but it belongs to
that class of art which may be best dc—
scribed as a brutal assault upon the fee!-
iugs. Pathos must be relieved by digni-
ty of treatment. If you wallow naked
in the pathetic, like the author of "Home,
sweet Home," you make your hearers
weep in an unmanly fashion; and even
yet while they are moved, they despise
themselves and hate the occasion of their
weakness. Itdid not come to tears that
night. for the experiment was interrupt-
ed. An elderly, hard-looking man, with
a goatec beard and about as much appear
ancc of sentiment as you would expect
from a retired slavcr, turned with a start
and bade the performer stop that “d—d
thing.” “I’ve heard about enough of
that," he added; “give ’us something
about the good country we’re going to.”
A murmur .of adhesion ran round the
car; thepcrformer took the instrument
from his lips, laughed and nodded, and
then struck into a dancing measure, and
like a new Timotheus, stilled immediate-
ly the emotion he had raised.

It Pays to kee‘p the Sabbath.‘
The two months which have passed
since President Young issued an order
forbidding the running of Sunday trains
except those carrying mail, on the Louis-
ville, New Albany, and Chicago railroad,
have been the most prosperous of any in
the history of the road. President Young
recently telegraphed:-—“Onr June busi—
ness has been larger than ever before, and
the aggregate earnings the largest on
'rccord." 'Whilc the experience of one
railroad for two months is by no means
conclusive of the questioii at issue, yct it
certainly tends to refute the position
taken by so many managers that a single
railroad or a portion of the railroads of tile
country cannot afford to cease Sunday
work,and that Sunday observance is not'
practicable unless a]! railroads unite in it.
The Louisville, New Albany and Chicago
road has discontinued Sunday traffic. and
has increased its business, and there is no
indication that its earnings for May and
June are $1 less than they would have
been if he employees had been worked
seven days in each week—Railway Age.

A Bashf‘ul Bridegroom.
There is a young man near Sumter who
was to be married on a certain night. He
had seen and loved the girl, and was too
bashful to do his courting. so he had it
done by proxy. The day had arrived,
the guests assembled, the license procur-
ed, the parson on hand, and the bride
ready, but the youthful groom did not
turn up. The friend who had done the
courting went out and after looking
around found him sitting or lying in a
horse trough. 0n asking him why he
did not go to the house to. he married, he
said: “Oh, I can’t go‘ thar and stand be-
fore them folks.” “Oh, yes, you can;
everybody in there is married lint your
girl. Come on."
doors and we’ll marry under the shed,
but let the old folks stay in tile house.”
The friend went back, got the girl and
parson out without exciting suspicion
and they were married. The company
waited two or three hours, and on being
invited to supper were introduced to the
bride and groom. They became so indig-
nant that all left without partaking of the
supper.-—Savannah News.

They All Wanted Cocoanuts.'
. The other day a Michigan avenue gro-

front of his doors. To-day he hasn’t a

was stuck for about $25. To-day be real-

cocoanuts than any other retailer in De-

The grocer was reading in his. paper
about some one down East who smuggled
whiskey by filling cocoanuts with it, and

corner of Oriole and Bill streets, West
Roxbury,‘ his attention was called toa

projectile passing rapidly overhead. Be-

pine trees close at hand, followed by a
heavy thug on the mossy ground. tie

deeply embedded in the springy bed of
moss and pine spills, and as it bore marks

. Thinking aloud‘ln Church.
One of our churches has a somewhat
eccentric parishioncr, who often affords
the congregation much amusement. He
has a habit of expressing his thoughts
aloud when very much in earnest, never
mind where he may be, His entire un-
consciousness of having thought aloud is
irresistibly funny. Last Sunday a late
cooler at church—a young lady with
voluminous skirts—sought to pass him to
get a seat. As she did so she' carried the
gentleman’s hat, which was on the floor.
some distance. It happened during a
pause in the service, when there came,
and with an earnestness worthy of the
preacher, that unconscious ejaculation :—
“ Now-—whcre—in—thc—namc—of—tlle
-Lord-—— is—-tllat—-girl—-taking—my-
hat ?"—Newpm't (R. I.) Letter. '

Capturing 13 Saw Fish.‘
About 5 o’clock last evening. while
Prof; Williams was giving swimming ex-
hibitions in Lake Ponchartrain, he saw
moving upon the top of the water, in a
direct/line and within two feet of him,
what be supposed at the time was an all!-
gator. ~ He grasped the jaw with both
hands, and with a sudden wrench broke
it. In the contest for the mastery Prof.
Williams was twice carried under the
water before he succeeded in binding the
monster upon the wharf, where it was as-
certained that he had captured a saw fish

I Family Reunions.
The Boynlon filly are to follow the
example of the Hoyts, Seldens, Pulmem
and other Eesznglsnd :tribes. and meet
in convention in cld‘Nawburyport, Mass.
on the 14th ofnext ‘mouth. The family
reunion is, so far one remember, a purely
Yankee festival. It is scarcely possible
man for a long time very far west of the
confines of New England. To be sure;
the Smiths have held family gatherings
: on various occasions inlNew Jersey and
2 New York State, but in spite of the large
numbers they brought together: ‘such
meetings can hardly be said to have
established the homogeneity of the Smitll
tribe. The Bull Smiths and the Peacock
Smiths cannot trace their origin to one
ancestor, and the vast and constantly in-
creasing numbcr of the Smiths whose
York directory belong to divers Other
branches, whose common ancestry cauiiot
be satisfactorily proved by the most acute
genealogist. But with the New England
families above mentioned the case is dif-
fcrcnt. The lioyts who in 1866 flooded
the town of Stamford, Conn., from every
nook and corner of the Union, were re-
ceived with open arms by the Stamford
.l-onts as blood relations, and the Scldcns
and the I’almers trace their origin with
equal distinctness, to a Selden and a
Palmer of colonial days. Like these
families, the Boyntons belong to New
England. They are at this time scattered
all over the country, but they cherish
New England traditions. and it is likely
‘ that nine-tenths of the Boynton children,
whether they were born in Pennsylvania,
or Ohio or Oregon, use the phrase “down
in Newburyport,” when every sane person
not hampered by Yankee customs knows
that Newburyport is far up. the coast and
many miles northeast of Boston. Dr.
John Farnham Boynton of Syracuse in
this state is the historian of the Boynton
family, and with the aid of Mr.Ben.Perley
Poore he has been trying to sift from piles
of old records the history and traditions
of his people. There were two original
Boyntons', John and William, who came
from England in 1638 and seltled at Row-
lcy, Mass. There have been distinguished
Boyntons in all the professions, and
Boyntous have fought in every war that
ever occurred in this country. Thomas
Boynton fought at Lexington and Bunker
Hill,and his diary is in the Boston His-
torical rooms; David and his five sons
fought in the Revolution; one Boynton
invented a trombocelicou, and another
Boynton of Woodstock, Vt.—hc who
married the Widow Moore—could bend
his left knee both ways—N. Y. Times.

“Struck lie.”
I A new oilfield is alleged to have been
discovered in West Virginia, which bids
fair to rival even the Pennsylvania 0!! re-
gions. The new find is at Rock Run,
near l‘arkersburg, and from the superior
quality of the all found, it has attractad
marked attention in oil circles. The first
discovery was a five barrel well struck at
a depth of 05 feet, the quality of the oil
being 27 degrees. Encouraged by this
the owner sunk another well, and ata
depth of 100 feet struck'a big bonanza in
the form of 300 barrels a day, worth at
least $8 a barrel. This occurred in March,
and was kept quiet fora while, but it has
now leaked out, and the oil men are flock-
ing in the region. Shortly after,‘ another
man struck a AGO-barre! “spouter'of 33
degree oil, and this set fire oil men wild.
So far, about 12 paying wells have been
struck, ranging from 10 to 400 barrels pér
day. There is danger that not a few ’peo-

This process of mouufilcturc was invented
by J nines Boss, who started 'in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making those watch cases are covered by
patents. This is the only walch case made
under this process. For many years the in-
troduction of these goods was slow, owing
to popular prejudice against “plated” goods, '
but gradually the public learned that the
James Boss’ Gold Watch Case was not a.
cheap gohl-wasllal or electroplated article,
hilt was made of genuine gold plates of
sur'lulard quality andflu'ckness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every improvement
suggested, has niadc the James 3088’ Gold

Concerning this Popular beverage
Two men express their muss]...
“The fact is sir. and you may sticka igin
there, that the people of this country are! e-
lyl to ho drowned _in a flood of lager beer,”
a outed an enthusiastic tcctotalcr the other
day into the car of your cornered correspod-
cut. “That German drink has struck as hard.
It is a second deluge.”
“Yes, the worst of‘rhls beer drinking basi-
ncss is that it gets up kidney troubles, as a
heavy wrnd raises the waves.” added unity

and a tendency to metaphor. "The midnight

to gucs. hoa-lachcs,'torpid livers, nausea, and
all that, and lays‘tlie' foundation of Bright’s

Whichever way the wind doth .blow
Some heart is gladto have it so ;
Then blow it cost, or blow it west.
The wind that blOwa, that wind is best.
My little craft sails not alone;
A thousand fleets from every zone

a ows for one a favorin br
Might dash another with thegshogll:m
01' death, upon some hidden rock.
And so I do not dare to pray
For winds to watt me on my way,
But leave it to a Higher Will
To stay or speed mo, trusting still
That all is well, and sure that Ho
Who launched my bark will sail with me
Through storm and calm, and will not fail
Whatever breezes may prevail, ' ’
To land me, every peril past,
Within His sheltering Heaven at last.
Then, whatsoever wind doth blow
My heart is glad to have it so; ’
And blow it east or blow it west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best.

Not the Right Thing.
Queen Victoria allows none of her
children to seeker without special permis-
sion. and it takes as much red tape for one
. of her children to get an audience with
her as it does for a stranger. We don’t.
see how she can raise a family that way.
What would a boy do if he had a stone
brurse on his heel and wanted to go to his
ma? Or suppose one of the princes
should eat green apples and have the colic ;
he wouldn’t want to sit down on the door
step with his department of the interior
tied up in a double bow knot waiting to get
an audience With his mother to get some
peppermint sling. There are times when a
boy wants to see his ma real quick, wheth- '
or she is a queen or a nine spot, and to
stand him of! for any red tape is danger-
ous. Suppose one of her girls goes out to
an ice cream saloon with a fellow, and he
proposes to her, and is going away on a
train and wants an answer right off? If
the girl has to wait until her turn comes
to see her me, she is liable to lose her
chance of getting married. A mother
should be ready, at all times, to see her
children.—-Peck's Sun.

What It Is.
“What’s mesmerism?" asked Poot’s
little boy, the other day. “Mesmerism,
son, is the—well—let's see, how can I
make you understand it? It is the—-
where’s your ordinary? But no, never
mind. I'llcxplain it in another way,”
and then Pools, who thinks he had a re-
markably powerful mind, undertook to
exect a mesmeric influence on his son.
Fixing his eyes On his son in a way that
made the boy shudder, he said, as he
pointed to the clock, “See that pretty
bird! Hear it sing! Let’s catch it and
- put it in a cage,” and he got up and
dragged the unwilling boy after him.
“Pretty bird! pretty bird l” he said, as he
patted the clock. Then the boy broke
away with an awful yell, knocking the
clock down in his terror and yelling “Ma,
ma! Pa’s got the jim’s again i" And that
wound up Poot’s experiments in mesmer
ism—Gin. Saturday Night.
