I assure yon -- • ^ "I beg your pardon, Mr. Arkwright; I did not propose to detain you further than to obtain the address of Mr. Ellers- lia." The lawyer shrugged his shoulders, but nevertheless wrote a few words on a slip of paper. Murray Lennox glanced at it in surprise. "What, it is a tenement bouse in Bland street!" he exclaimed. "Exactly so; but it is quite a respect­ able neighborhood, I believe." Mr. Arkwright plunged once more into a drift of tape-tied packages and big books bound in dingy russet leather, as his eccentric young client departed. Tenement houses may answer every purpose of shelter and protection, but they are not the exact beau ideal of home. And this tall red brick in Bland street was no exception to the general rule. Jfc was unquestionably "genteel," hifwever. Miss Parley kept a select col on the first floor; Mr. Johnson, who gave lessons on the flute and piano, and Mrs. Drecy, who "cut and iitied » wcaoca ill irufuuttu »iyle on the wry * . lowest terms," occupied the second •f atory; and two or three pale seamstress- •L es, a wood engraver, a clerk, and a man- nfacturer of artificial flowers were packed compactly away above, like sar- dines in a box; and two young ladies had the southeast room on the fourth floor, young ladies who, to use the origi- ^•f nal expression of Mrs. Ryan, the land- V lard's wife, " had seen better days." Wy Kate Eilerslie sat by the window that dtoeary "November day, her chin resting |f Cll °» ber hands, and her eyes fixed mourn- f ? - fully on the opposite roof, where a colony of dust-colored sparrows were pluming their wings. She was a bright, regular- featured brunette, with large brown eyes •and very dark hair, her figure slender m a reed and quite as graceful. She looked up languidly as the door opened, and Emily, her junior by two years, came in. Emily Eilerslie was not at all pretty Nq «$e would have vouchsafed her a sefcond glance in the street ; no poet Id ever have been stimulated to rliy- [etic rhapsodies over her gray-blue eyes f brown tresses; yet when you came lace to face with her you could not but oonfess that she was very pleasant to look upon, with wholesome pink cheeks, a complexion entirely independent of "rose balm," or "cream of pearls," and pretty, regular teeth, that shone brightly when­ ever she smiled or spoke. "Goodnews, Kate!" the said, cheerily, taking off her hat as if it were an eu- oumbrance to the pretty head. " I've a whole dozen plain shirts to make." Kate looked distastefully down upon the bundle of "plain work" which her Mater tossed gleefully into her lap. " Shirts!" sue sighed. " Oh, Emily, who would ever have thought we should *eome to this ?" "Shirts aren't disagreeable to make," •aid Emily cheerfully. " All we have to do is to f ancy them embroiddxy or arodiet Work!" '5 My imagination is not so powerful as <tmt!" - "Cultivate it then, dear," said the y |roung sister, with a laugh. " These must S m finished by Saturday noon." ctv " By Saturday noon!" cried Kate, fret* Fou^l^ Y It is not possible." « ^ tuba'Hn^^fes, it is. Come, dear,^get your Kate Eilerslie burst into tears, and threw the unoffending shirts disdainfully from her. " You never had any aristoccatio pride, Emily. You would be filing to slave yourself to death for five shillings." "Five shillings is a very bandy sum now, Kate," said Emily, as she went pa­ tiently down on her knees to pick up the scattered rolls of work. " Bui it's a sliamu,*.' w«iit GQ UUBiitJU auu iiiuigu»jui, who was bom to better things " She paused, with the hot current of words yet on her tongue, as a knock came to the door. "It's only Mr. Harley, in the next room," said Emily, as she rose to her feet " I know his knook." Mr. Harley was a tall, fresh-looking young man, with bright hazel eyes and a smooth, broad forehead, who had re­ cently engaged the one vacant apartment on the fourth story of the house in Bland street. "A literary gentleman," Mrs. Parley had called him; while Mr. John­ son asserted, with less elegance, that he was "owl-editor of one of them papers that never tells the truth." Poor people assimilate more readily than those TOO surround tnemselves with the barriers of form and ceremony; and, in one week of their neighborly prox­ imity, Mr. Harley and the Miss Ellero- lies had become the best of friewds. "The loop has come off my necktie again," Mr. Harley began, apologetic* ally. " Dare I venture to ask you to sefw it on a second time, Miss Emily?" Emily smiled and nodded aa she threaded her needle with black silk, and put on a thrifty-looking thimble. "Is anything the matter, Miss Kate?" asked Harley as he observed the elder sister's flushed cheeks and discomfited mood. "Nothing," she answered, petulantly, "but the old story--poverty and humil­ iation. Oh, I wish I were dead; or, better still," she went on, with increas­ ing energy, "I wish the villain who cheats us out of *11 our money were dead!" Mr. Harley winced a little, and no wonder, Emily thought; her sister had spoken with unrestrained vehemence. " Kate, Kate!" she said softly, " you don't consider. He is not to blame be­ cause the law has given him what was rightfully his own." " He is, I say!" burst out Kate, but then she repressed herself. " Give me the shirts, Emily," she said, resignedly. "We can't starve. Now the footstool and the work-basket. And just draw that curtain; the sun is shining in enough to dazzle forty pairs of eyes." Patiently Emily tiudged hither and thither for her sister, only too glad that the storm of Kate's temper was tempo­ rarily averted by Mr. Harley's presence. The young man, quietly observant of all that transpired around him, began to think that, after all, Kate was not so bcuuiiful as he had at first supposed. Emily had the sweeter, more Madonna­ like face. Then she was so gentle, so quietly resigned. "Emily always was a drudge," said Miss Eilerslie, contemptuously. "She never bad ahy more spirit than a canary bird." So Emily did the work of the contract­ ed little room, washed and ironed Kate's laces, arranged her sister's luxuriant dark hair, sat up at night to finish the sewing that Kate had thrown aside " because it made her nervous" hours before, and sunny and happy through it all, ished at anything. And love is certainly a better mediator than law.* Who can doubt that Mr. Arkwright was correct in his conclusions ? u while Kate sighed over her fate, and per­ suaded herself that she was the most wretched of created beings. And one day Mr. Harley astonished her out of her equanimity by proposing to marry her. . •* Upon--my--word!" ejaculated she; " the young man must have a very good opinion of himself! Of course you said No!" Emily hung her head until she looked like a sweet-pea vine that has been ex­ posed to the July sanshine. "I--I'm afraid I said yes," she fal­ tered. ,s " What on earth could have induced you to accept him?" demanded Kate, with both hands imploringly uplifted. "Because I love him!" said Emily, plucking up courage. • «The sslSshsss; of som9 !" sobbed Kate, burying her face in her pocket-handkerchief. "I suppose you never once thought what was to beoome of me!" Innocent Emily felt that she had in­ deed been a monster of ingratitude and egotism. We must provide for our sister Kate, in some way or other," said Mr. Harley, when Emily timidly confessed her lation to him. \ ^ " Wait and see, tittle girl." Kate Eilerslie gave her brother-in-law elect rather a cool greeting that evening when he dropped in, as usual, about 9 o'clock. "I hope you congratulate us?" he said, cheerily. " Of course you have my best wishes," she answered with some little acerbity. " It will be your turn next, Kate.' She tossed her head haughtily. " I am in no particular hurry." " Wouldn't it be a nice chapter of ro­ mance in real life," he added, smiling, " if Murray Lennox, to whom the law has awarded property that was once yours, should come and marry you ?" "Nonsense!" said Elate, sharply, " Such things don't happen in real life.' "Do they not? But just let me sup­ pose it only for once, what Would yon say?" " No, of course." " And you, Emily." "My heart is already given away," khe answered, smiling and blushing. To Murray Lennox !" She looked at him in surprise.' "My darling," he said, "I have de­ ceived ydu all this time. I am not John Harley, but Murray Lennox, your dis­ tant cousin. I came here to study your characters apart from the disadvantage which would surely follow me were I known as the unwilling usurper of your fortunes. Nor do I regret the use. Up­ on my wedding day, Kate, I shall settle upon you enough to make you entirely independent. As for Emily," with a smile, " she must be contented with her fortune as my wife." Certainly Miss Emily looked more contented. "It's quite an unusual proceeding," said Mr. Arkwright, when he was called upon to draw out the papers; "but I've lived long enough to cease being aston- Ladles of the White House--Jolly Payne Madison. Dolly Coles Payne, brought up in the strict tenets of the Society of Friends, _„/l .4 in i. nr. r .i _ m. •UU n« AO dU. UVUU 1UUU, a member of tlic ss!ud ssot, iu less a year after his death, and, at the age of 23, married James Madison, and stepped from poverty and insignificance to wealth and station. In her luxurious home in Virginia she learned how to exercise generous hospitality and benevolence and an indulgent husband allowed her the means of gratifying most of the fine instincts of a noble nature. When Mr. Madison was appointed in Mr. Jefferson's Cabin et, he removed with his wife to Washington, and she fre­ quently and kindly played the part of Lady of the White House before it be­ came her own home ; and, on her hus­ band's election ^ to the Presidency, bis wife's presence in the White House was hailed oy the social world as a benefac­ tion, and there probably never was a person more generally loved, if some­ times smiled at by the fastidious or su­ percilious, within its walls, ; With a little morQ elegance, there would have been nothing more to desire In Mrs. Madison. She had a certain amount of tact, infinite good nature, ready wit, and an unfailing memory of names and faces, which, with her warmth of heart, supplied many elements cf popularity, and her reign was a joyous one. She filled the White House with young people, putting all at ease by her own ease, and kept up a round of gayety, relaxing many of the oeremonious ob­ servances hitherto in force there, and making some innovations. Yeiy fond of dress, yet never extravagant in it, wear­ ing usually a turban and a gown of sim­ ple material, and repairing time's losses with rouge, she was rather a handsome woman, with sparkling eyes, and a tall, although, perhaps, too redundant, fig­ ure. She was always a happy woman; and when adversity came she proved herself a most noble one. When the British approached the capital, she was one of the last to leave the city, having lingered to secure certain State papers and other valuable articles of public property, to the sacrifice of her own. She was refused admission at an inn where she requested shelter, with her suite, at the instigation of those already sheltered there--people who had, one and all, shared her hospitality, but now chose to hold her husband responsible for the war and punish her ; and, for a short season, she was subjected to great hardship; but, after the British had fin­ ished their dastardly and disgraceful out­ rages, she was one of the first to return. At the conclusion of Mr, Madison's term, she retired with him to Lheir moun­ tain home in Virginia, and there was the comfort of his declining years. After his death she returned to Washington, a place she loved, and there spent the last twelve years of her life. Congress had paid her a goodly sum of money as copy- wright on certain of her husband's pa­ pers, and voted her a seat on the floor of the Senate; but she died in poverty, al­ though honored to the last; and while always to be seen with her splendid green shawl, her turban, and her snuff­ box, never forgetting her dignity or her great-hearted cordiality. Patrons of Husbandry. From the report of the Secretary of the National Grange we learn that in 1875 the total membership was 761,263, but that it dropped to 588,987 in 1876, aver­ aging 39 members to the grange. The cause assigned for this great decrease is mainly that deputies, in some States, overdid the matter in organizing. More granges were organized than the terri­ tory would support. Some of these died of inanition, others consolidated, while many surrendered charters in disgust. In 1873 there were 1,362 granges, and 10,579 new ones were organized in that year; in 1874, 9,989; in 1875, 2,012 ; and in the year ending Oct. 1, 1875, 855. The Secretary indulges in a little " fig­ uring " as follows : He estimates each grange ar being composed of 23 families of five persons each, or 115 members, so that the active granges number 348,910 families, or 1,754,560 souls. That the shrinkage of numbers is a healthy one is inferred from the fact that while the number of granges had decreased 37^ per cent., the number of paying mem­ bers had been reduced only 22i percent., and the average strength of each grange has risen from 31$ to 40.--Exchange. ;. American Beef In London. Felix Holt writes from London to the Springfield Republican about American beef in that city. He visited a large market where it is sold, and found that the demand far exceeded the supply. The prices were from three to five pence a pound less than for English beef. The buyers generally were of the opinion that they could tell the difference be­ tween the two products, but admitted that it was too slight to offset the less cost. Probably their imagination was responsible for their idea of a perceptible difference, for the writer learned that much of the imported meat was sold by butchers as English. In restaurants it is used extensively, sometimes unavow- edly; but in most cases it is billed for what it is, and a larger quantity is given for the usual price. ~ALively Old Han. The Emperor William, of is an unusually strong and stalwart old man. On the occasion of his birthday, recently, he had to receive all day long congratulations, deputations, addresses. At 5 there was a state dinner ; at 9 and until 12, a concert at the Castle. All this festivity His Majesty survived, and next morning her was at work in his li­ brary long before his young court at­ tendants were stirring. THE New York Tribune thinks the " present depression in the cotton trade exhibits the folly of trying to make war profits in a time like this. A month ago prices were going up and the trade ex­ panding. An effort was made at Boston to foree prices up to a speculative point. The market broke, and a blue month has followed, as was predicted. When prices go up again, will not people try to re­ member that it is twelve years since the war, and that there is an entirely new set of conditions in trade?" Old and Young. The death of old Lahrbush, the Brit­ ish officer, at New York, reminds us of the undoubted increase in the number of persons who reach a century. Lahr- haw> may or may not have been 111 (his ease involves so much record that it might be investigated), but there are un­ doubtedly numerous instances every year of persons dying whose lives exceed a century. Of oid negroes and imini- grtmui, who can pre»eiit no eviuence o*. record, it is not necessary to take ac­ count, but centenarians of a better es­ tablished character are almost ceasing to become rare. Whether eases are more frequently reported than formerly, or whether it is explained by the better success in modern times in preserving health, we have not yet data enough to determine. We believe it is pretty well established that life is growing longer. The Pall Mall Gazette, by the way, draws a striking contrast between the men at the head of affairs in Europe now, and at the beginning of this century. The leaders of European government and opinion are now nearly all men from 60 to 85 years of age, though, by the way, we inadvertently gave Bismarck ten years too much the other day, he being 62 in­ stead of 72. Beaconsfield is 72, Glad­ stone, 68; Granville, 62 ; Carlyle, 81; Tennyson, 67; the English Chief Jus­ tice, .75; Longfellow is 71; Emerson, 75; Bryant, 82; Victor Hugo, 75; Gorts- chakoff is 79; MacMalion, 69; Thiers and Emperor William, 80; Jules Simon, 63; the Pope, nearly 85; and his most dis- ^tinguished prelates long in years. In ll00s Napoleon at 31 was the master of France, and Pitt was in the sixteenth year of that premiership of England, to which he had been elevated at the age of 25. Fox was 55, and Grenville 40, the leading English statesmen of the day. Wellington and Napoleon were only 46 at Waterloo, and at that age Frederick the Great was at the height of his military fame, as well as Washington. But in 1870-71, Moltke was 70. These contrasts are certainly curious. They do not hold this side of the ocean, but they may seventy-five years from now, when we have become more experienced and less ardent livers.--Springfield Republican. A King Washing the Feet of Paupers. King Alphonso, who recently made the tour of Spain, on his arrival at Se­ ville, signified his desire to conform with the traditional custom on holy Thursday for Kings to wash the feet of twelve aged paupers, and then to attend on them at a sumptuous table laid out at the expense of the crown. Referring to thin fact, a correspondent writes: " About 200 persons alone had been in­ vited to witness this scene in the Hall of the Ambassadors. After a short prayer eaid by the Archbishop, clad in fine vestments of gold and embroidered satin, his Majesty went through the operation of washing the feet of the poor, who were led to the table by the Chamberlain and equerries. They handed King Alphonso the dishes laden with meat, bread, and fruit, which the young monarch set before his aged sub­ jects with a good-humored smile. Sev­ eral times, indeed, his Majesty laughed outright when an awkward Chamberlain nearly upset a plate or dish, at the im­ minent risk of spoiling gilt cloak and brilliant uniform. During the whole time the band played selections from the 'Ave Maria' of Gounod, and other sacred music. When King Alphonso, surrounded by his grandees and officers, and escorted by the halberdiers, crossed the court-yard to repose before the pro­ cession hour came on he appeared rather fatigued." Lawyer and Witness. A noted lawyer of the Oxford circuit had a case in hand in which, among oth­ er things, he wished to prove that his client had no money; and to that end he cross-questioned one of the opponent's witnesses as follows: "You asked my client for money, did you not ?" " Weil --yes, sir."* "Answer promptly, sir. Let us have no hesitation. You asked him for money. Now what, was his an­ swer?" "Idon't know as I can tell." " Ho! ho! You are on that tack, are you ? You won't tell ?" " I would rather not, sir." '*But you must, and, if you do not. answer my question promptly and truthfully, I'll call upon the court to com­ mit you for contempt." " Well, sir, if I must tell tales out of school, here you have it. I asked him yesterday if he could lend me half a crown, and he told me he couldn't." " And you believed him, did you not?" "Yes sir; for he said you had robbed him of every penny of his ready money, and if he didn't get out of your hands pretty soon his wife and little ones would come to--;--' " That will do, sir. You can step down." --New Yovk World. Germans in New York. New York is frequently said to rank as the third German city in population in the whole world, and Mr. Lewis E. Jackson, who has devoted years to its religious statistics, confirms this judgment. Vi­ enna has a population of 834,000, Berlin, of 825,000, and New York has within its limits 250,000 Germans. Of this number 165,000 are German born, and 85,000, their children, born here. The religious affinities of this large body of the city's residents are stated to be as follows : Protestants 80,000, Roman Catholics 60,000, Jews 60,000, unclassified 50,000. Of the Protestants, the Lutherans are the most numerous ; then follow the Re- ,formed, Baptists, Methodists, and Pres­ byterians. The number of communi­ cants in the German churches of the city is put by Mr. Jackson at 14,432. Con- trary to the general impression, the immigration to this country from Ger­ many exceeded that from Ireland during the last thirty years by 100,000. The population of Ireland being now only about 6,000,000, and the people generally prosperous, our supply from that quar­ ter is not likely to be very great during thirty years to come.
