"To be sure, sir; to be sure," said Mr. Abraham Muggins pulling out a dog's- eared memorandum-book and making sundry notes therein. "That's what I says myself--only these 'ere decayed gentry is so precious hard to deal with." And Hubert Minton, who was troubled with more money than he knew what to do with,* thought no more of the old house in No. 29 Hem­ lock Place and its impecunious tenants, until six months or so afterward Mr. Muggius came to him again. "If you please, sir," said lie, "I ean't let that 'ere house in Hemlock Place." "Can't let it? And why not?" "If you please, sir," Raid Mr. Mug­ gins, "'cause there ain't no one will take it." . "Why not?" demanded the landlord. "It's--haunted!" said Mr. Muggins. "What ?" shouted Minton. "Haunted," repeated the agent, a trifle more distinctly than before.

She was tali and slight, and as ner- fectly formed as a Diana, with dark blue eyes, hair of sunny flaxen gold, and a dress of deep green serge, girdled with a plain, black leather belt "Didn't I tell you she was a beauty ?" said the triumphant Major.

So they became engaged, and fife belies of the Thousand bland House, who wore tho "delioieus Nile-greens" and so-forth, looked enviously on and wondered what was the chf.rm of dark serge dresses, hair fastened up by a plain sbell-eomb, and great blue eyes with long lashes. Bnt before the fishing season on the St. Lawrence was fairly over, Mr. Min­ ton came to his fair fiance with a per­ turbed face. "Ethel,* said he, "I have bad news for you." "Bad neWB?" She looked up earn­ estly in his face. "It can't be very bad, with you standing there alive and well to tell it, dear Hubert" "I have lost my fortune," said he, hoarsely.

"A house, eh?" said Ethel gravely. "That's a great deal better than noth­ ing.

"Yes, indeed," said Ethel, with the utmost solemnity. "It's too true.

The flinty texture of the stalk is easily pierced through to the center by the wood-pecker, who then thrusts in an acorn, then another, and another, until the hollow space is filled to the level of the hole. He then makes a second opening higher up, and thrusts in more acorns until the Jetyel of that hole is reached.

Its weather worn brown stone stoop overlooks Hieks street at the southwest corner of Olark street, in the ©enter of what is known as "The Heights," Brooklyn, Hundreds of people pass it daily without a thought of the great soul that departed there three years ago. It is a boarding house and its interest to the public is gone. Without nothing is' changed from the days when the anxions Brooklynites stood for hours before it waiting for another bulletin from the death bed. You pass within the large doors that bore the wreath of white flowers as a token that the great preacher was dead. Within nil Is obanged. The fnmitiw* is gone, the carpets have been removed. A pleasant-faced woman, with silver- gray hair, meets you and answers your inquiries as to board. She will show you a large, well-Ifcht^d room on the seoond floor, where Beecher died.. On the first floor many changes have beea made. The large library where the sermons were imtten, where his books were kept and where his favorite pio- tures WeTe huog. has been partitioned off into small bed-rd&ns for this icbom- mod^fcion of bo&rdiera. The Har 'room opening from the library by large slid­ ing doOrs, and with a bay window upon Clark Rtreet, was Ihe living room, so ar­ ranged as to allow Mr. Beecher quickly to reach his family. Now it is a bed­ room. The butler's pantry at the west end of the hall has been robbed of its cupboards, closets, sinks and barrels, and that also has become a bed-room. How different the house looked when Gen. King opened it to the reporters a half an hour after Beecher'a death on that memorable day. I entered it with a dozen other young gentlemen aud we were received in the library by Maj. Pond. There stood his chair drawn up before his working table, the books and papers undisturbed as when last he left them. On an easel, where the worker's eye could easily rest upon it, wus a large photograph of the Brooklyn bridge. All fhat is changed. The house is rapidly going into decay. , A Coaduotor'ft VoWwai AttUtft So much has been said about tlli|%&- solent way* of railroad conductors that it is about time to say something on the other side. The conductor has a great deal of humanity in him after all, and though he does seem to take a keen de­ light in loading and unloading his pas­ sengers at times, as if he were hand­ ling oattle, yet a case of infirmity of any kind on the part of a passenger seems to appeal at once to hi-* better na- i'ture.

Hanging about his neck was a string containing an assort­ ment of brushes, which it was his em­ ployment to {>eddle out He had a stick in his hand, and carefully fe^ his way as he advanced. The passageways at the elevated stations are sometimes puzzling enough to a man who can see, aud they are doubly so to the blind man. As the train stopped at the station one of the conductors spied the man, who heard the noise of the train, and in his anx&ty not to miss, it was advancing, prodding his cane in front of him in a state of intense agitation. The conductor was just about to pull the bell-rope to start the train, but when he saw the colored man, he left the car platform, went to the poor old fellow's assistance, and with gentle hands guided him into the car, and not until be had conducted him safely to a seat did he start the train.
