Pretty girl teacherâ€"Afraid '2 What: are you afraid of ? There was a happy Christmas reunion the next day in John Warlow’s house. Nor has Uncle Henry forgotten his bar- gain about Walter, whom he has taken to live with himself. “The question is rather impertinent, sir. Surely I am master of what is my own.” “Yes. but not What belongs to another." “Your meaning is obscure,’ replied the other, haughtily. “The explanation 18 very simple.” “May I trouble you for it ?' " “Henry Warlow IS not dead." “Not dead? You but trifle sir.” “Look at me John 2” said the stranger earnestly; and as John Warlow closely scanned the other’s features. one bv one they came back to his memory, and the truth flashed upon him that the true owner of the wealth he had so long esteemed his own had indeed come back as_from the grave. :‘Do not tremble and turn pale,” said Henry Warlow. ”l have been prosperous enough to gain a new fortune sufficient for my needs and shall leave you undisturbed but on one conditionâ€"that you bring your daughter and her children to your home. “1 on had a half brother Henry once, who, finding you had supplanted him in the affection of the woman he loved, con- cealed his passion. and abandoned home and country, leaving you to carry off the prize for which he would have sacrificed his life. At length news came of his death in a strange land, and you, who had been poor, stepped into his fortune, which was ample. Your wife died, leaving you a daughter. her mother's image. It seems that when she grew up and wedded a man without wealth, as her mother had done, you could not forgive the ofl'ence. and have left her and her children to struggle for bread or starve. Do I speak truly?” The announcement was received with anything but a pleasant look. But before Mr. Warlow could reply his visitor re- sumed : I’ve just" been paying a. visic to your daughter and grandchildren.” began the litt_le gentleman, without preface. _ - “Tell Mr. Warlow I wish to see him,’ said the little gentleman to the servant who answered the bell. “What shall I say, sir '9” "I’ll announce it myself,” was the reply. After some delay the servant returned and conducted the stranger to Mr. War- low’s sitting-room. “Then, while Walter was busy telling Sissy of the wonderful things he had seen in the toy shop, the accentric little gentle- man slipy-ed his two purchases to Mrs. Boyd, with an injunction to put the won- derful knife in Walter’s stocking that night and the wax doll in Sissy’s, after which he took a hasty leave. It was quite dark {vhen he mounted the steps of the stately mansion of Walter’s graniipg. _ “But don’t be concerned, madam,” he hastened to say, noticing her blank look ; “I can offer your boy a much better situ- ationâ€"and here. take this,” he hurriedly added : “It’s only to bind the bargain and keep anyone from getting ahead of me. Of course you needn’t answer till you’ve learned more about me.” As he looked upon her face the 01d gentleman seemed strangely moved ; and there was a. noticeable quiver in his voice as he mentioned to the widow his offer to empoly her son, of whose discharge be at the same time apprised her. At last they reached the ungainly tene- ment in which Walter’s mother occupied a poorly furnished room up four flight of stars. The gentleman picked out a: costly pocket knife with ever so many queer contrivances in it and a handsome wax doll, which he bought and put in his pocket. and then hurried \Valter away, though the latter Would have gladly re- mained longer to feast his eyes on the brilliant stock of treasures. “Let’s go in,” said the little old gentle- man, and the two entered the shop. The old gentleman gave another quick look, but again Walter failed to notice it. His eyes just then were turned longingly toward a window containing a tempting display of holiday goods. it being Christ- mas Eve. “There’s my grandpa’s house,” said he as they passed an elegant mansion. “What’s his name !” “John Warlow." The old gentleman gave him a sharpe glance. “And yours '2” “Walter Boyd.” “Do you ever see your grandfather 2” The boy hesitated a moment and theni said “ No, sir ” Then in a few words he told the story how his mother had quarreled with her father for marrying against his wishes. The boy smiled through his tears and they set out together towards his home. “Look here,” said his interlocutor abruptly. “I want a boy myself. Just take me to your mother and we will get her consent to the arrangement." “She takes in sewing, and the $2.50 were such a help; but now” Here he burst into a flood of tears and could say no more. " What does your mother do to make a. living?” asked the old man kindly. . e A well dressed old gentleman paused in the street to ask a. small boy shivering in front of a dry-goods store what he was crying about. “Iâ€"I’ve been discharged,” was the tearful reply, “and I don’t like to tell mother, we are so poor already.” Time to Tun. RIGHTED AT LAST. Abe never joined the church, and swore a little to the last. The Bishop preached his funeral sermon, and did it with moist eyes and trembling voice. Abe’s part in building the church was only one of his whims, but for years he was a blessing to scores of people on the Comstock-San Francisco Exammer. , ,,___=‘- The checks were forthcoming and Abe went through the camp on a collecting tour, striking everybodyâ€" merchants, gamblers, saloon-keepers, all alike. In an hour he had the whole $9,000 and carried a certificate for it to the clergyman. “Take that for a starter, Bishop,” said Abe. “It won’t be enough, for I guess a church is like an old quartz millâ€"the cost exceeds the estimate a. 203d deal, but go ahead, and when you need more money we will levy another assessment on the infer- nal sinners.” "You bet,” said Abe. “I move that an assessment of $1,000 be levied on each of the trustees, the same to be payable im- mediately. ” The Bishop had just come from the east and he was bewildered. The good man {altered : “I fear I cannot at present raise $1,000.” “Never mind, Bishop,” said Abe. “we‘ll take yours out in preaching.” ---.~-â€" \vvv'v .- *nauanll‘ cu Ulluhvll' But the Bishop prevailed. He informed the trustees that he had plans and specifi- cations for a church that would cost $9,000, lo‘t included. He said he believed 131,500 might be raised by subscription. gleaving the church but $7,500 in debt. ‘which amount would run at low interest and might be paid up in four or five years. Everybody expressed apprmval except Abe, who kept silent. His opinion was asked by the clergyman. “Why, â€"-â€" it, Bishop,” Ct‘led Abe, “I told you that I knew nothing about church business. but I dou’t like the plan. If you were to get money at 15 per cent. per annum which is only half the banking rate, your interest would amount to nearly $1,200 a year, or almost as much as you expect to raise for a commencement. If you want a church why don’t you work the business as though you believed it would pay?” _ Abe sat down and the Bishop’s heart sank. ‘ 'Well, have you got any better scheme I” asked one of the trustees. ‘ “I would be giad to help you, Bishop,” he said. “but â€"â€" is â€"â€" â€"â€"â€", I don’t know; I can run a. mine or a quartz mill. but I don’t know any more than 3. china.- man about running a church. How a Hardened Sinner Helped BishOp Whittaker at Virginia City. When Bishop Whittaker came to Vir- ginia City he wanted to establish a church. It was nothing to get trustees for a mining company, but in a church enterprise a man had to die to fill his shorts. Yet the bishop did pretty well. He finally got all his trustees save one, and he selected Abe â€"â€"- for the honor,7 though Abe wane sinner and a profane one at that. Abe attended the first meeting of the trustees. A gentleman living near Peterhead one morning ordered his machine at ten. He kept his old servant out in the wet hold- ing the horse till twelve. On coming out he saidâ€"“John, I fear I have kept you waiting?" John simply touched his hat, and grinning broadly, repliedâ€"“I’ll no' contradict ye, air.” Convincingâ€"Young lawyerâ€"“I claim the release of my client on the ground of idiocy. He isa stupid fool, and not re- sponsible for any act he may have com- mitted.” Judgeâ€"“He does not appear stupid to me.” Prisoner (interrupting)â€" “Your honor. look at the lawyer I’ve hired.” An officer in the regular army laughed at a timid woman because she was alarmed at the noise of a cannon when a salute was fired. He subsequently married that timid woman, and six months afterward he took of} his butts in the hall when he came in late at nights. Nothing angers the small boy more than to run with all his might for a quarter of a. mile after a four- -wheeler, and then, just as he catches on behind, to have the cab turn abruptly down a side street where the small boy doesn’t want to go. “Guard, why did’nt you wake me as I asked you? Here I am. miles beyond my station!” Guardâ€"“I did try, Sir, but all I could gen you to say was. ‘All right, Maria; get. the children their breakfast, and I’ll be down in a minute I ” Foreman cf the locked-in jury (impa- tiently)â€"-â€"“The rest of us are agreed. and you would see the case as we do if you had an ounce of brains.” Obstinate juror (reflectively)--“But that’s just the trouble; I’ve got more than an ounce.” If you found yourself at the top of St. Paul’s, London, with a. goose under your arm, and there were no steps or ladder to effect a descent, how would you get down? You would get down by plucking the goose. He was mumbling about tough steak and cold coffee, and making himself gen- erally disagreeable. “Don’t growl so over your breakfast, John,” said his wife; “no- body is going to take 1t away from you." Heâ€"“If you didn’t love me why did you marry me '4 ” Sheâ€"“Well, when you proposed you said I was an angel, and I’d heard that people should marry their op- posites.” A Bankrupt-so long as his debts remain unpaidâ€"shoul‘i, I think, be placed on a level with a pauper in respect of all politi- cal rights. The most tender-hearted man we ever heard of was a shoemaker, who always shut his eyes and whistled when he ran his am] into his sole. What is the most dlflicult train to catch?

France has the cheapest rate of postage. but possesses a capital in which it is said more murders take place in six months than occur in London. Berlin and Vienna together, in twice that length of time but altogether more murders take place in the United States than in any other country. Thirty-five millions of people die every yearâ€"few of these from old ago. In a doctor’s opinion, nearly as many people shorten their career by over-eating as from excessivedrinking ; Whilein England alone three hundred persons are annually cut off through accidental poisoning. It; has been noticed how women mostly commit suicide by drowning. and men by shooting. By the way, suicide is less common among miners than any other class of people ; and self-destruction, strangely enough, it is said to be most prevalent among soldiers. In Great Britain the yearly loss in wages through ill-health is about eleven mill- ions sterling, and it is estimated that forty per cent. of those who start in busi- ness fail, March being considered the slackest month for business. The English of our day is considered by a high authority almost perfect, alike for the purpose of the orator, the philosopher, the lecturer and the poet. The purest English is said to be spoken in Lincoln- shire. Each time we reach the end of Dec., we should think with satisfaction that we have got over the most dangerc us month, since in this country more deaths are said to occur in December than at any other time of the year. It may not: be generally known that four men in every six use tobacco ; yet. a medical man in Vienna asserts that diph- theri-x is th nce as prevalent among smokers as them who deny themselves the luxury of the weed. It has been suggested that an excellent mode of exterminating such weeds as dan- delions, dock. and even thistles, from a lawn, is to offer a. bounty to the younger members of the family for every weed secured. There are four times as many words in our language as there are in the French, yet a philiologist estimates that the coinage of new words in our tongue goes on at the rate of one hundred annually. If you wish to increase your chances of life, marry, for, as a. rule, married men live longer than bachelors; yet out of every thousand persons in England more than six hundred are unmarried. It seems that twenty-five per cent. of the women of England earn their own living ; but one would scarcely believe that there are three hundred and fifty female blacksmiths in that country. EXpress trains in Russia. rarely travel faster than twenty-two miles an hour. These are very s!ow expresses indeed. yet a railway guard avers that the fastest trains are always the safest. A celebrated aeronaut asserts, after patient investigation, that the ninth day of the moon is the most rainy of the whole twenty-eight, and four o‘clock in the afternoon the rainiest hour of the day. The London Times say that the Indian Government has Selected Gen. Strachey, an ex-member of the Council. and G. H. Murray, of the Treasury, as delegates to International Monetary Conference.

It is’nt often that a patent medicine gets such a big boom in the incident of news-gathering, as is furnished in the above; but it is all set down just as it transpired, incidentally. Thé whole Labrado'r party consists of Messrs. Tabor and Vincent, Prof. Reid of ~Harvard Qpllege; Mrr Lyle Vincent, St. Out of curiosity, the reporter secured an introduction to the captain, and after some talk about the expedition, remark- ed : “Is that correct, Captain, about your recovery from asthma, and that you attribute it to those bills '3” A Recwrder reporter was talking today to Capt. Wm. McConnell, of Port Hilford, Guysboro, who is in charge of the vessel. An interesting incident was mentioned ‘ (and although it sounds like a. “ puff” of a patent medicine it is worth noting.) “Do you see that man over there,” said a friend. “that is Capt. McConnell, who is going after Esquimaux. I have known him for years, and he was that bad with asthma that he had sometimes to be held up on board his vessel. You see him”â€" (he was piling wood in a cord measure to take on board)-â€"“he is a well man; and he attributes it to some of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills that he took, two after each meal. ” l Prof. W. M. Reid, J. D. Scoxnbot‘ger. Lyle Vincent and W. D. Vincent, arrived by the Halifax last night. They are some of the party who go to Labrador in the schooner Evelina in the interests of the World’s Fair to secure an Esquimaux village with some fifty inhabitants and all appurtenances thereto belonging. The schooner left Cunningham‘s Curren’s Wharf to-day on her mission. OFF FOR THE LABRADOR. Acadian Recorder, Halifax, NS. Not Generally Known. Lindsay, April 20, 1892.
