“ I KENT IT.”
One day, about fifty years ago, the town
of Aberdeen, Scotland, was thrown into
considerable excitement by the coming in
Sight of a whale vessel which had long been
given up as lost. A crowd soon collected
on the pier. Among the rest was an old wo-
manwho particularly arrested my attention. ~
She was neatly dressed in linsey-woolsey,
with a white coil drawn close about her
head, and a short- red cloak around her
shoulders. She stood upon the very edge
of the quay, and leaned with both hands
upon her staff and gazed with outstretched
neck toward the ships—but it was witha
look of strange vacancy. They were
shouting around her, and naming the
names of those that seemed coming back
from the dead—but that old woman with-
drew not for a moment her gaze from the
approaching vessel.
As she came near there was a death-like
silence for a time, while hundreds of eyes
were scanning the deck for lover or friend,
and then there were burstings out, and
tremulous'cries of gladness, and shrieks,
and faintings, and over-full hearts, that
made strong men like children—but that old'
woman partook not of the emotions of the
crowd, but seemed as if standing far away
and looking upon something that turned her
to stone. .
The vessel at length reached the land, and
the sailors leaped on shore into the em-
brace cf their friends and relatives. Every
one was striving who should first congratu-
late them upon their safe return. Peale of
welcome were ringing upon every side—
but that old woman spoke not. She seemed
utterly unconscious of what was passing
around her—took no notice of any one—
but forced herself through the crowd with a
strength which seemed incredible for her
age and frailty, until she got upon the deck ;
of the vessel, and then, looking around her .
for a moment, she saw a black chest, lying
near its stern. She went up to it, and sat
quietly down upon it, and said. in alow,
stifled voice, “I kent it—I kent it,” and
then laid her hand upon her staff, and re-
peated, ‘_‘I kent it.”
An orphan boy, and her only grandson,
had gone to sea in that ship against her
will. She was a believer in dreams, and
had dreamed the same dream several times,
before and after his departure, and she had
interpreted it as the certain sign and fore-
runner of his death.
He died on the way home, and the body
was in that very chest on which she had in-
stinctively sat down. The sailors shortly
came to her and respectfully lifted the
chest—for they loved the lad—and bore it
away, and the old woman followed them,
and asked no questions, and they offered no
explanations.
The crowd fell back till the chest and the
chief mourner passed through. It was a
moving sight to see that old woman- follow-
ing the corpse, and looking neither to the
right nor to the left, but occasionally whis-
pering to herself, “ I kent it,” and to see
the composed crowd coming up behind,
which but a few moments before was Fagi-
tated with tumultuous joy.
W.
THE FALGONS’ FIELD.
In the North Brabant, on the southeast-
ern confines of Holland, is a large plain
called by the name of the “ Valkenswaard ”
-—Falcon’s Field. It is the autumn rendez-
vous not only, as its name implies, of the
nobler birds of prey,‘ but of all their hum-
bler congeners of the hawk and kite tribes,
beside a hundred varieties of land and
water birds,'of whom they make their prey.
Every year, as the leaves are falling and the
first coating of ice is beginning to cover the
ponds and marshes of Northern Europe, the
great stream of migration flows downward
past the Swaard, bringing with it. one after
another, the various troops of feathered
migrants on their way to milder climes.
Sometimes the drift is early, sometimes
late; a hundred influences unknown to man
retard or accelerate the impulses of the
birds’ instinct. But no matter what may
be the order of their going, they go still, as
they have gone for thousands of years,
across the Falcons‘ Field, and are reviewed
in passing, as they have been for hundreds
of years past, by the hidden eye of the fal-
coner. For in the midst of the desolate
plain, if you knew where to look for it, you
would find an ambuscade—a tiny but hardly
emerging from the undulating expanse of
heather, and so cunningly heaped up and
covered in with turfs and gorse that you
might pass within a few yards of it, and
never dream that human eyes were peering
at you through its windows. Here for
weeks together sits the professional fal-
coner, patiently waiting for the coming of
the hawks he is engaged to catch.
AUTHOR. OF “ HOME, S‘VEE’I‘ HOME.”
This month, says the New York cox-res; ’
pendent of the Troy Times, recalls some
interesting memories of American genius,
among whom may be mentioned John How-
ard'Payne, author of “Home, Sweet Home.”
He' awoke the admiration of this city as the
boy performer of the Park Theatre, but had
he lived to the present time he would be a
marvel of old age. Ninety years ago today
John Howard Payne was born in this city”-
' where "th'fhther ”was??- r’eiir’aiia’ school
teacher. In early life he was placed in a
store, but his love of the drama led him,
while only thirteen, to issue the lespz'an
Mm'or. This brought him to the acquaint-
ance of William Coleman, editor of the
Evening Post, who was astonished to see a
boy conducting such a paper. In his six-
teenth year the youth appeared on the Park
boards as Norval, with great success, and
afterward played Edgar to George Frederick
Cooke’s Lear. Cooke urged him to try his
fortunes on the London stage. Acting on
this suggestion, he sailed for Liverpool, but
on his arrival was arrested, for the war of
1812 had just opened. This was only the
beginn'mg of Payne’s troubles while abroad.
He made a great sensation on the London,
stage, being the first American to appear
before a British audience. Thence he
went to Paris to see Talma, and was em-
ployed by a London manager to examine all
new French dramas and adapt them, if pos«
sible, for the British stage. Payne met a
series of vicissitudes, and both poverty and
success alternately awaited him. When '
only twenty eight he wrote his tragedy,
“ Brutus,”in which Kean made a great sen-
sation of Drury Lane, but at this very time
its author was suffering extreme poverty in
Pans.

OUR CAST-0 FF CLOTHING.
A Chicago rag-dealer estimates that each
of the fifty millions people of the United
States discards an average of five pounds of
clothing yearly, which makes two hundred
and fifty million pounds for the whole.
Then, he says, there are the tailoring es-
tablishments, big and little, whose cuttings
are not much less in quantity, in the aggre-
gate, than the east-off clothing of the nation
at large, while their quality as rags is great.
ly superior. Then there are carpets, and
bedding, and curtains, and other domestic
articles of cloth. of some kind, which make
up a goodly bulk in the course of a year,
These difiercnt articles combined make up
another two hundred and fifty million
pounds .of cloth material which has been
discarded from use, and which eventually
finds its way into the rag-man's bale. His
estimatg is that one hundred carloads of
rags enter and leave Chicago daily.

WILL MCDONALD, 2542 Dearbcrn St., Chicago,
gratefully acknowledges a cure of Salt Rheum on
head, neck, face, arms, and legs for seventeen
years; not able to walk except on hands and knees
for one year; not able to help himself for eight
years; tried hundreds of remedies; doctors pro-
nounced his case hopeless; permanently cured by
Dutlcura Resolveut (blood purifier) infemally, and
Cuticum and Cuticura Soap (the great skin cures)
externally.
CHAS. IIOUGIITON, Esq., lawyer, 28 State St.,
Boston, reports a case of Salt Rheum under his ob-
servation for ten years, which covered the patient s
body and limbs, and to which ~all known methods
of treatment had been applied Without benefit,
which was completely cured solely by the Cuticura
Remedies, leaving a clean and healthy skin.
F. H. DRAKE, Esq., Detroit, Mich., suffered un-
told tortures from Salt Rheum, which appeared on
his hands, head and face, and nearly destroyed his
enycs. After the most careful doctorlng and accu-
sultatlon of physicians failed to relieve him, he
used the Cutlcura Remedies, and was cured, and
has remained so to date. ,
Mr. JOHN ’l‘nsIL, Wilkcsbnrrc, 1711., writes :—_
I have suffered from Salt Rheum for over eight
years, at times so bad that I could not attend to my
business for weeks at a time. Three boxes of Cut-

TAPE WORM !
In one of the tropical provmces of Germany
there has been found a root, the extract from
which has proved an absolute specific for Tape
Worm. . .
It is pleasant to take and is not debilitating ‘or
disagr§eable in its effect on the patient, but is
p‘e'cullarly sickening and stupefying to the Tape
arm, which loosens its hold on ts victim and
passes away in a natural and easy manner, entirely
whole, with nun and while still alive.
One physician has used this remedy in over 400
cases without a single failure to use worm whole,

Old Vienna is fast disappearing; the
small-windowed houses, with the heavy
gables and carvings, the squat pillars aad'
overhangingporticos are suffering from the
incurable complaint of age. *Oracksv'and'

trembling walls have to ,be shored up with

altogether. Some of the hoary tenements
do not even give warning, but come down
with a crash, as if struck by apoplexy, and
then the inmates are much inconvenienced,
,. if not killed outright.
There has been of late quite an epidemic
among these venerable buildings; _they
seem to have made up their minds to die on
famine, the result being that many streets
are now impassable by reason'of much pro-
tecting woodwork. _In a few years’time
the old haunts, so rich in memories and as-.
sociations, will nearly all have been swept
away. In their place rise lofty six-floor
mansions of iron and marble, large win-
dowed and, doored, as 'if destined for the
abode of giants. But the gemuthliche
Wiener Kind regrets his life-long haunts,
his cozy vaulted cafe and restaurant, with
the familiar tables and pegs, the gray, ivied
court, where he haspoured away so many,

old walls. Each guest got a souvenir of the ;

covered with a hundred names of departed
guests. But most favored of all was he who
received the sign itself-the venerable but
ever-youthful effigy of the Sucking Pig, a
tremors with crispest tail and half-shut eyes
of perpetual contentment. The historical
beast is to be carefully preserved, and will
later on take a commanding position in the
smoking-room of a literary club, which it is
proposed to found, and whose favored mem—

upon which workmen have a holiday in the
course of the year under the existing state

about 300 days‘ work in a year, as in other
countries, in Russia they hardly do more
than 200 days. It is calculated that the

Owing to the nature of the institution
our knowledge of harem life is entirely de-
rived from the visits of European Indies.
The Turkish authorities, it must be con.
fessed, are very amiable in this respect, and
little difficulty is experienced when the in-
troductions are good. The Turk is com.
monly believed tobe a sort of Bluebeard.
It is not so. Polygamy is not the rule, but
the exception. The lower classes never
have more than one wife, and it is only in
thecase of wealthy Pashas that there are
three or four wives, the latter number being
legally allowed to every Mnssulman accord-
ing to the Koran; this is exclusive of al-
most any number of slaves and concubines.
The husband must have no acquaintance,
however slight, with women other than
those of his own harem, and should he ob-
serve slippers outside of the harem door he
knows that ladies are visiting, and there-
fore cannot enter his own house. Then,
again, if perchance hc strolls through the
bazaar, there must be no recognition of any
of his own women, although they maybe
throwing away his‘money right and left in
a most lavish way on silks and jewels. He
must not say a word, and so strokes his
beard and passes on with an “ Inslutllah, 1’
(Please God), or “Allah kerim," (God is
great and merciful); for now he knows
too well how the money goes! European
ladies are the objects of much attention and
curiosity on the part of the women ofa
harem. Their dresses are felt, they are
pawed all over, and asked childish ques-
tions incessantly; for it must be remem-
bered that a large harem consists of wives
and domestic slaves, the latter counted by
- hundreds. Ayoung English lady, seven-
, teen years old, of great personal attractions
and engaging manners, some time back vis-
ited'a harem accompanied by her mother
and friends. The women questioned her,
and would not believe that she 'had “ no
children, or even a husband.” One of the
wives, who took a great fancy to her, threw
her arms round her neck, and entreatcd her
to stay with them forever. She could have
any husband she liked, and even wasso
kind as to especially recommend her own,
adding that she was sure he would soon
want another wife' and that she, the real
wife, would much rather it was this nice
English girl, as then there would always be
the pleasure of having her as a friend and
companion. Here was amost decided ofier.
Afirm refusal, however. of these honors
caused much surprise and disappointment.

’SQUIIIE MAY'ES’S SPECIALTY.
’Squire Mayes, of West Alexander, Pa.,
has married over 2,000 couples. He is 65
years of age, and was born where he now
resides. Afew months ago he married on
his own account for the third time. His
father, Isaac Mayes, was commissioneda
Justice of the Peace in 1811, and held the
office until his death in 1844. Dunn' g these
years he married 930 couples. The present
’Squire was appointed a Justice in1862, and
at the end of each term of five years has
been recommissioned. During the past
twenty years he has joinedinmatrimony
4,020 people. The first five years he wed-
ded 293 couples: the second term, 369; the
third, 507; the fourth, 834. The ’Squire
keeps a record of every wedding at which
he officiates.
A glance at the record shows that he has
received in fees the sum of $6,281.25, or an
average of $3.12; per couple. Until 1865
the fee allowed by law was $2. Then it
was increased to $3. As many as'half a
dozen couples paid nothing, some gave the
regular fee, and others as much as $5 and
310. Only one bridegroom thus far has
presented the ’Squire with $20. The
smallest amount he received was ninety
cents. Although the greater number of
those who have employed the ’Squirs are
from West Virginia and Ohio, he has mar-
ried people from Kentucky. No license is
required in Pennsylvania which accounts
for the number. that came from Ohio and
West Virginia, the State lines being close to
West Alexander, and a license being re-
quired in those States. One couple were
travelers from the Isle of Man. Among all
these people but thirty couples were col-
ored. Fifty of the grooms were named
Smith. Twelve of the brides did not
change their names. The ’Squire’s patrons
come at all hours of the day and night, by
the trains, in buggies, wagons, sleighs, on
horseback, and on feet. He hastied the
knot for as many as six couples in one day.
OnJune 17, 1880, George W. Alton and
Anna Squiggens, both of Bellaire, Ohio,
called, and Anna said that her parents had
been married by the ’Sqtrire, and her mother
was anxious he should perform the cere-
mony for them. He referred to his book,
wedding of her parents.

the first place I ever earned a dollar in, and
I suppose it’s rather imprudent as I owe the
firm money for a dozen years back.”
This piqued my curiosity and I was treated
to the following amusing explanation from
my journalistic friend:
" When I was a cub of thirteen or four-
teen, I was much more ambitions to get into
business than to remain at school. One fine
morning A. T. Stewart advertised for cash
boys. I presented myself and was en-
guged. I have been looking at the young-
sters inside now, and they ha've a gay time
of it compared with me and my contempor-
aries. The old man was a rigid disciplina-
rian, and you could hardly look crooked
under his regime without incurring a fine.
Of course the yoke did not sit easily on my
neck, and I was frequently called to order.
In the first week I earned the proud die—
tinction of catching the old man’s eye no
less than four times for some prank or inat-
tentiou. At the end of the week I went up
for my pay—two dollars—and was para.
lyzed to be informed that my fines amounted ,
to exactly $2. 70, leaving me nothing to get,
and owing the firm 70 cents moreover l I
bolted for home, with the spectre of bmk-
ruptcy behind me, and tried to think where
this sort of thing would lend me at:the end
of a year. Well, I, didn’t go back to the
dry goods business, and if you believe me,
I always avoided that neighborhood for fully
_ a year after, lest I should suddenlybe seized
on for the 70 cents marked against me on
the books.”—.N. Y. Star.

A MINISTERING ANGEL.
A Western exchange says: Mrs. Senator
Pendleton has returned to her Ohio home,
. where she is much beloved by the poor
members of the congregation that warships
in the little church on the hill, near the
Senator’s homestead. Last Christmas all
the poor of the parish were surprised by a
present of a turkey delivered by the grocer.
No note of explanation accompanied the-
gift, ,but the recipients knew where such at.
tentions to them came from.

THE CINCINNATI ARTICLE.
Burdette says of the Cincinnati sand-
wiches: {They are finches thick each side,
and lined with apparent traces of ham.
The assay also shows up some indications
of butter of the Queen Anne period, but
notinpaying quantities. Theycan be re-
duced by strong acids or intense heat, but
cannot be crushed by friction. As fOOd
they are not nutritious, but are perfectly
harmless. Prof. Doremus, who has sub-
jected them to a careful analysis, says there
to endanger a two-year.old baby from
