She had little contact with the country people, and the pecul­ iar dialect, the homely simplicity of life and marked characteristics of her pupils continually amused her.

It was little Harley Jones' turn that week to " rid up " the school-house, as he termed it, and Mildred wondered for two successive days at the cluster of flowers which she found on her desk. The great double geraniums seemed to flash their scarlet glory all over the room ; and the heliotrope, too, her favor­ ite flower, in masses of purple beauty, filled the air with its fragrance. A spray of it, with a few delicate ferns, anothei of her delights, was laid upon the Bible opened at the chapter with which she began the day's exercises.

Yes, Mildred reflected, she was alto­ gether the proper person for Oscar Brant, and with a queer little laugh she thought of the hopeless difference be­ tween herself and this most admirable woman. But the laugh was so near akin to a sob that she dared not trust herself to go on thinking. She caught up the other letter, from a young lady sojourning at Saratoga. It was addressed in a large, dashing hand, covering the whole envelope. "Why will she use violet ink ?

Why could they not let her alone, she thought She had come up to the New England hills to gain some of the strength and peace she had lost after she . and Oscar Brant had parted. She must try for it harder than ever now that the time drew near for her return to the city. Her mother and sisters would wait for her at the Springs. Mr. Elson would wait, too--Mr. Elson, worth half a mill­ ion, 60 years old, his head bald and shiny ; a short, fat, fussy man, who had " grown a little stouter." Ugh ! They would all go home together, to the fail fashions and dinner sorties formal calls. She went back to the house presently. She would conquer this foolishness, so she told herself, as she had kept saying over and over again the whole summer long. She would conquer her temper, too ; grow humble and docile and pa­ tient.

"But it wasn't him," stammered Mag­ gie, growing red. "Him ! Who?"

There stands in Sharon (near the Easton line), half a mile from any dwell- house, and a quarter of a mile from liny road, in an old cow pasture on the southern slepe of a hill, surrounded by a few birch trees and scrub oaks, a little shanty. One small window looks out upon the meagre scene. The house con­ tains but one room ; an old oook stove in one corner; in the further end of the room is a bunk containing some straw and a few old ragged bedclothes ; a shelf that serves the purjKee of a table, and on it are some pieces of crockery and tin­ ware ; an old axe and hatchet leaning against the smoke-begrimed wall, and a well worn Bible were all the room oon- tained, as we one day visited it and lifted the log that was braced against the door and looked within.

One of the disadvantages which Tich- borne claimants subject the originals whom they imitate is the revelation of disagreeable affairs in the lives of those they personate.- The Tichborne trial, for example, showed that the real heir had not lived an altogether blameless life, and the alarming anatomical dis­ closures made by a wife, at a trial in New York, is a warning to husbands who do not take pains to provide in advance for the identification after death. Several years since, one Theophilus Young dis­ appeared, and his body was found float­ ing in the river. But his brother subse­ quently opposed the widow's possession erf her husband's property because the hand had assigned the property to him. He, moreover, produced a man who, he asserted, was his long-lost brother. The widow confronted the man in court and utterly repudiated him. "You can't make me believe that that apology for a man is my husband," said she, and then went on to furnish an inventory of her late husband's charms to prove the in­ feriority of this apology to her rightful consort. He differed in his age, his height, his eyes, his teeth and his hair. "Theophilus Youngs' teeth were veiy close to the gums and jet black; he had a sear on the inside of his left leg, ex­ tending from the knee to the aukle, and another on the outside of the leg; his heel was injured so that he had to wear a silver heel; he had a mole on his left shoulder, a scar on his forehead and an­ other under his chin." If the alleged Youngs who was produced in court had any decent claim to even one-half the usual physical human outfit it is very evident that he was a fraud of the deep- eat dye.

She drew her hand away and stepped back. "I have nothing to forgive in you, Oscar. I was angry when I saw you last, but I was the one to blame. Forgive me." He looked' at her in astonishment; she seemed so utterly unlike herself. "And have you got over your love as well as your anger, Mildred ?" ^ The quick color flashed all orer her face. She looked like herself once more as she answered : " That question is in poor tasbe, Oscar Brant. I have not congratulated you on your engagement to your cousin Ella. I do so heartily," she went on, plunging along into a chaos of words lest she should break down utterly; ' 'she is good and gentle and--and everything that I am not.

And I have seen it written by one of the disciples of Rabbi Jehudo the Just, that upon a time a dog did howl, and clapt his tad between his legs, and went aside for fear of the angel of death, and somebody coming and kicking the dog to the place from which he had fled, the dog pres­ ently died." German peasants believe that if a dog barks looking upward a recovery may be expected, but if he looks toward the earth death is certain. In Cornwall the liowling of a dog is always a sad sign, but "if repeated for three nights, the house against which it howled will soon be in mourning." In Lancashire, where the death-tick is still feared, it is reported as " a curious cir­ cumstance " that the real death-tick must only tick three times on each oc­ casion.

Within full sight of these in­ quisitive spectators he first eats a little rice and then puts a quantity into the cocoanut with all the ostentation possi­ ble. The nut is then laid npon the ground, and the hunter retires to a con­ venient ambush. The reader may be sure that no sooner is the man out of sight than the monkeys race helter-skel- ter for the cocoanut. The first arrival peeps into it, and, seeing the plentiful store of rice inside, squeezes his hand in through the tiny hole, and dutches a handful. Now, so paramount is greed over every other feeling connected with monkey nature, that nothing will induce the creature to relinquish his hold.

She replied, as she caught up her hat, "Let us go." He seized his hat and assented. They visited the County Clerk's office, secured a license and repaired to the residence of a clergyman, stating the object of their visit He asked if it was a runaway match. The young man re­ plied, "Not exactly." The clergyman wished to know if the young lady's pa­ rents had agreed to the marriage. The yojing man said "No, but that he could •end for her mother." It was done, and the mother, after objecting, was in­ duced to say "Yes." They were mar­ ried, and are now as happy as any of those who married after long courtships, and more so, perhaps. May they live long and prosper.^--Memphis, (Ttrw.) Appeal. r< w. He's stood an* stood an' sot au' sot, an' he's had no mo' to do wid run- niu' the Worl' dan a gate-post.

VANITY OP HIGHWAYMEN.--A Galves- veston lady was reading a newspaper ac­ count of a stage robbery that recently took place west of San Antonio asd M ILS very iudignaut on reading that besides robbing the passengers they had opened the mail and read the letters, among them, possibly, a letter the lady herself had written to a friend. "You needn't bo alarmed," remarked the lady's hus­ band, "I dare say thev did not read a word in any of those letters, as those fel­ lows don't kuow B. from bull's foot."
