MY DIAMOND RING.
WLen my uncle AUton, wLo was
an old b-ciit'lor, .it(i, i.e icit lis
property pretty cqusliy tiividej l,o-
twttn tiis live iit pliev.a and hiecca.
My btqucfit, Lontvcr, ba liting the
eldest aud Lis goiVjn, was the most
coiiBidL'rhb.'e; it consisted of a small
freehold i state ia Kent, and a uia-
niond ring.
1 Uis iin, viU:cU was ot men value
that it bad been estimated for legacy
duty at fire hundred pounds, had a
little history attached to it. It was
piestiiiod to tuy uncle by an Indian
rrj ih adiose physician he hud been
for ua iy yearn, fur having, on one
occasion, brought the rajih's favorite
son.sueccBxfully through a prere at
tack of the soiall-pcx.
Oallie return of the latter to Eng
land, some years alter wards, he dis
continued wearing the ring, for the
size and biilliancv of the stone were
so remarkable as invaiiably to attract
attention ; which, being a quiet, re
served man, was distasteful to him.
Liisidcs which, he very soon discov
ered that having on his person, ha
bitually, an article f eucli value,
was, in Ihis countrv, not futige tl.tr
unattended null tiarger, tu aitciupt
having been made oa one occasion
to walay acd rob him during one ot
the solitary ivt ning walks he was iu
the h libit ot taking.
He tlitrofoie decided to run 110
more liaks ol this chai&cter, and tor
safe keti.ii. ir i lactd the ling iu the
box containing his securUies deposit
ed with his banker, where it remained
for several ) eai s prior to hi decease.
With the c xeeplion, in tact, of my
self tiiid the elder of my two sisters,
not one of the family now living had
ever seen the ring, ami cvea our tic
ollection cl it had become V: gue and
indistinct during the 3 cars which had
elapsed biuce the time when, as chil
dren, we Lad &zrj with mingled
swo and aihuiihiii 11 upoa ''uncle's
big diamond." It was therefore wiih
some tlegite of tuiiooity lint I ex
amined my j.retioua tequtst. It was
really a lUHi.iGccnt sioue, and of the
purest water at Last si a fiiend
who urolese e9 to he a eonnoiobt ur in
such mnttt rs assured me, for I do
not pretend to lie a judge iii . sell.
Slid 1'. was ly iio means a useful leg
acy. All tbe oljectious wLich had
presented tin mselves to my uncle s
wenrirg the linf, applied wilh still
greater lorce to iny doing so. For
me, a city man, engage J in a burluees
bringing mo in some six or beven
Lund.cd per annum, to el i -pi ay on
my hand a diamond worth beily a
whole rear's income would obviously
absurd, acd quite inconsistent with
mj position in society.
1 could sell the ring. Iiue, I
could sell it; and I admit that the
ide lot doing bo preseLtud itself to
my mind more lhan once. Five hun
dred pounds, I argued, ut five per
cent. a rate ot' iuurest obtainable
from many of the safest iavestmeuU,
gives tweuty-five pounds per annum ;
small sum, it is (rue, but not alio
gethe: to be despised ; while to long
the money is locked np iu the ring
is absolutely unproductive. Wi.y,
thought, pursuing the Eutject, had
my uncle sold the stone when he hrst
returned to England, sixteen years
ago, tue sum Ue would nave ualized
from it would, at compound interest,
have more than doubled itself by this
time.
Wilh lL:s ides, vet uppermost in
mind, I casually alluded, on one oc
casion, in lamuy conclave, to my in
tention of parting wilh the ring ; but
only to find that, by proposing to do
so, I had raiseel a hornet's nest about
my ear. Indignant protests met me
all bides My sister Mary, iu-
deed, grew quite angry, esyitig, that
"If poor, dear uncle had only ki.own
how little I, his favorite nephew,
(wilh a s&rcsstic emphasis on the
word favorite,) would have valued his
lagacy, he would have left it to some
member of the family who could have
better appreciated his kindness."
'loursel'.jxweJWHfe," I 6id.
'Yea, to rue, ' she replied ; "or to
Fanny, (lur younger tisicr), or
cousin James: or auy one, rallicr
tiisn to you wuo have shown si little
respect for his mtmiry." "Well!"
rrj ined, "but wh ti au I ti with
?-
'Why, keep it until 3 ou gel mar
ried, to be sure," was the triumphant
reply. -You can have it made into
brooch tor your wile, it you do cot
care to weir 11 ouistl!.'
'Very hue," I said resignedly, for
felt that I was beaten.
I rlsce I the ling in a strong, iron-
bound plate chest, Licb I kept in
my sletpiug chamber and thuught to
have no more trouble about it ; but I
was mistaken. In less than a week
afterwards an <eintt was made by
burglars to enter the house, which

bulky parcel under his arm. The
robber was arrested, and searched,
and the ring found in one of his
waistcoat pockets.
Indue course tlia examination be
fore a magisuate took place ; and the
prisoner was couiuiit'etl lor trial at
the next as-size-', I beiog bound over
to prosecute. Ii the meantime the
ring remained in the hands ot ilia po
lice as tHual. In about six weeks
fifteiwards the trial came elf. I was
placed in the witness-box and testified
to the value of tbo stone snd the cir
cumstance8 under wbicii it hud been
stolen from me.
At the request of the foreman of
the j 11 r3' the ling was haaded to lam
for inspection. To my infinite sur
prise one of the pen lie-men in the
box after looking at it careful
ly for. lew moments, said quledyJ,
"This sione is not a diamond."
"Not a diamond! ' exclaimed the
judo. "Are u sure, fir, of what
you say ?' h added, rather sternly,
aildre.-tii:g tbe jury maa who had just
lVifccll.y, mv lurd,; was the le
y. ' I am a jeweller, aud I pasi
lively asetrl that the sloae in tliii
ring (holding it up as i.e sp; ke) is
not a diamond; although a pretty
fair imitation."
Tha ether p3rsons in court, who
stated that tl.e-y were dealerein pre
cious stones, confirmed his state
ineut. All eyes ia the assembly were now
directed inquiringly upon me, and I
felt that I w as in danger of being re
garde.l as a species of imposter as a
man, in tact, who had pro
tetidtdtobe possessor of property.
and had been very justly, tlioiitrh
- j J J 5
unexpectedly cxpose.l. The clear,
gray eei of the judge, in particular,
were bent k'-ely and inquisitively
uptin my face, and I felt myself grow
ing very uncomfortable However,
assuming a coolness I was very lar
in fco iag, I quietly narrated tbe
lircuuistsuces under which the iin;
had been preaenteJ t ) my unule, an I
hsd consequently jusaed into iny
pob&eeion. U lien l coacluileii, 1
had ihe satisfaction of perceiving
that I ha 1 been successful in convinc
iny hsarera tint, it tin re
had been any deception in the
business, I, at Icibt, was no ty to
Tae trial tiieup.-oueeded.aLdresalt
of course, in the conviction of the
l.uiglar, who received a sentence of
five years penal servitude Before
tue court rose. However, ine lunge
directed the c filler of tbe police, in
wLose cus'.ody the ring had remained
prevous to the trial, to be placsd in
ie. witness box, when he underwent
searching examination as to- the
measures which had been taken lor
the sate keeping of the ring.
The polico eergeanl s testimony
was fully cjufirmed by that of other
membcfs of the force ; aud I could
not bat admit that apparently therd
were not the slightest grounds lor
suspecting that tlie ring had been
tampered with while in ttie hands ol
the poiice.
When and by whom the the original
stone bad been abstracted, for that
had been al'bli acted and the false
one substituted lor it, I was convinc
ed, I endeavored tor some time,
but in Ysiu, to ascertain ; some of my
friends, indeed, suggested that the
ring bad never contained a diamond
all. but was in the same condition
when ptciunted to my untie by the
rajah.
But this theory was to my mind,
untenable; for in the first place, ni oat
Eastern princes are pretty goo.l judges
precious etocc3 ; and, in the bee
Old assuming that the rajah could
have been imposed upon, the risk
would bave been too great ; for tbe
discovery, at any time, tliat he had
been cheated, woul.i, in all probabili
ty, have cost the ollender his head.
No ! H was clear to me tnat tue
stone bu l I ten either changed at
some time by oae ct my uncle's na
tive servants, whilst he was in India,
orthatlho ring had been tampered
with during tlie many years it was at
his ban ke is. In the former case, of
cDurse,the loa3 wss irretrievable ; in
the latter, there was just a possibility
and no more, that I might discover
the thief. I therefore went at ence
my uncle's bankers, where, at ihe
very outset of my inquiries, I was
met by an assurance on the part ol
the manager that the ring had been
deposited in a safe to which no one
had access but himself.
To suspect a gentleman in I113 po
sition was, of course, quite out ot
the question, and it remained for me
but to resign myself to the loss ot
tLe diamci.d witii what, philcsophy I
could.
Some sx mouths afterwards, how
ever, a little light was, icciileiitally,
thrown uim the subject, by the an
nouncemeut that the manager or the
back in ques'.ioa bad absconded, and
nt it ba-t been discovered that for
several jears past he had been in the
Labit ct tj plyirgsecuiitK8,lodged by
customers with the bank t; safe
keeping, to his own use. Under these
circumstances I was ablo to form a
pretty shrewd guesa as to the fate ot
my diamond ring.

OUR CALENDAR.
Its history is briefly this. Romulus,
King of Rome, 733 years B. C, divi-
ded the year into ten months of 304 1
days This period was not a year,
though called so. A year is the time
required tor one revolution ot the
earth around the sun, which is 365
days, 5 hours, 43 minutes and 43 sec-
onds The year of Rcmnlus was,
therefore, a mere arbitrary division of
time, not corresponding with tbe mOr
tions ot the seasons, nor with the mo-
tions of the sun and earth. Numa
Pompilius, 713 years B. C, added
two months to the year, which was an
proacd to correctness. J ulius
Ciesar, 45 years B C, made the year
con.-i?t ot 365 days and G hours, and
ordained that every fourth year should
leap year. This arrangement,
which made the year a little too long. I
histe 1 until the lime of Pope Gregory
All., when the dirlerence between the
technical year and tbe solar or actual
year, amounted to 10 days. To cor-
rect this error, Gregory, A. D., 1582,
ordered that that the ten days be-
tween March 11th and 21st should be
omitted, so that in that vear, March
2Ut was tbe next day after March the
11th. To prevent lurther irregulari
ty. it was provided that the first year
a century should be made a leap
year, with the exception of the first
year of every fourth century. Thus
the years 1700 and 1800 were not
leap years, nor will the year 1900 be
such, but the year 2000 will be.

JEFFERSON'S EARLY HOME.
BY JAMES PARTON.
All the important circumstances
hia home comes to mind as we
brood over acattere I indications in
old and new Virginia books. We
see that giant ot a father, steadfast,
reserved, even austere, but not un
gentle, bnsy with official labors and
details of farm and barn during
the day. and in the tvening giving
his boy (his only son for many years)
lessons in book keeping and arilli
metic: two elder sisters, perhaps,
taking their turn at slate and pencil,
sitting with their mother, pljing
the needle; the lather, not unrre
quenlly, treating the group to a fa-
vorite paper trom the Si'SCTatob.
The morning scene, too, with the
mother and her servants, we can ia
fer with much probability from ties
cription of simular interiors preserv-
from that periods.
Deeply as Jefferson came to bate
slavery, clearly as he foretold the
rum enclosed in tne system, ne saw
only in its better aspects at his own
home. He saw bis father patently
drilling negroes, not long from their
native Africa, into carpenters, mill-
ere, wheelrights, shoemakers, and
farmers. He saw bis mother of a
morning in ner siuing roum, wuicu
was well furnished with contrivances
for facilitating labor, seated with her
daughters and her servants, like An-
dromache surrounded by her maid-
ene, ail busy with household tasks,

his boyhood. He waa singularly

The family were all reared and bap

For a century, it is said, there were
but five tunes sung in the colonial
churches. By the fireside in the
winter eyei ng, and on the banks ot
the nver in the soft, summer twilight,
there were family singings, Jane Jef
ferson's melodious voice leading the
choir; to which was added, aa the
years went on, tha accompaniment of
her brother's violin.

AN OLD STORY REVIVED AGAIN.
An entertaining article entitled
MTomy Weller'a Widows, appear.
in the Chester (Pa.) Jiepd0ean,
from which the tallowing is an ex
tract:
Another very coortable widow was
a young lady 01 Washington, Pa
She became engaged to a young maa
named Robert , inl$4G., Uer
father, however, objected to., this
match with one of his clerks,' and
when the young lady received a
tempting proposal from a wealthy
anitor, the paternal influence soon
effected a marriage, despite the for
mer engagement. In less than three
months her husband was killed by a
kick from a horse. Tiobert was a
second time taca a suitor, but de
layed the important question, until
fifteen months bad elapsed, when to
his horror, she informed him that she
was engaged. In three ' months
thereafter she was married. -Two
years elapsed, when . too married
couple removed to Syracuse, N. Y-,
where among the victims of the chol
era, when the pestilence swept that
city, the second died. Robert agva
sought her band, and when a year
had elapsed, was on the eve of dec
laration, when lo ! be received an in
vitation to her wedding. Her late
husband's business was lound in such
a state that, to avoid immense losses,
she married the surviving partner.
Shortly after, she removed with her
third husband to Detroit, Michigan
c few years elapsed, when herself and
husband were on a steamer that was
wrecked near Buffalo. The husband
perished, and the wife escaped solely
through the exertions' ot a friend
who was on board. Hia gallantry
inspired such sentiments in her
breast that the married ber brave
preserver a few months after ber
tic3 .widowhood. - The happy pair
removed u ailhurg where ber hus
band was eng jgeif "fM

Thiiher Hobert, still cherishing bis
first love, followed them. One day
aa be was passing the husband's store
he saw a terrible commotion. Rush
ing in, he beheld the mangled corpse
ot that gentleman on the floor. A
tierce of rice, in being hoisted to an
npper story, had fallen through the
traps, killing him instantly.. Anx
iously Robert inquired if any one had
been sent to inform bis wire, and was
tel 1 that the book-keeper had gone.
Robert etarted. ior Allegheny City,
where the deceased resided, at the top
of his speed. The book-keeper was
just ahead of htm, and, from past ex
perience, knowing tbe virtue of
prompt action, and apprehending
that the clerk had designs on the
widow, be rnn for dear life aide by
side. Tbe race continued nntil they
reached Hand street bridge, when the
clerk waa obliged to stop and pay
tolls, while a commuter, passed over
without stopping. Reaching the
house of the widow first, Robert told
the heart-rending news, and ' in the
same breath made a proposal of mar
riage. He was accepted.- True to

A DREADFUL FATE.
A terrible tale ot the fate of a Ger
man doctor, named Gunkell, a prac
tising physician in Lansing, Ia , comes
to us in the papers of that State
Finding he was sick, probably from,
smallpox, and away from home and
friends, be engaged a man to drive
him from McGregor to Elkader, where
he formerly bved. They had not pro
ceeded far before the doctor seemed
to think he waa being pursued. Seiz
ing tbe loose halters lying in tbe bug;
gy box, be lashed the dash board,
urging the driver to 'Iet the horses
go 'or God's sake; they are after
me-' Upening a large pocket knue.
he coolly informed the driver that his
life depended on fast driving and
silence. Tbe pool driver was forced
to the terrible conviction that he was
alone with a maniac at dead of night.
Obedience to the desperate man's
commands was the only alternative,
and with eyes straight ahead, he
drove for dear life to Harding's hotel
Bull's Head, six miles from Mo
Gregor. The driver here jumped
out, and asked the doctor to come in
and bave something to drink. En
raged at tha delay, the madman
threw out the robe, cushions, etc.,
and then got ort himself and tried to
awaken the .landlord. The driver;
intent on sav ing his life, hastily se
cured Lis robe and cushions, and put
ting whip to his horses, returned to
Mcuregor. Ihe doctor Jailed to
arouse the landlord, and starting out
alone, evidently tried to foot it to
Llkader. He was next seen at si a-
tional, ten miles from Elkader, crazy
and wild, but there were none hu
mane enough to relieve or bave him
cared for. Alone by the aide ot the
road he was seen the next day, some
nine miles lrom Elkader, by some of
its citizens, nearly all acquainted with
him. No one spoke to him or offered
to help biro, bnt all agree that he was
crazv. and that his face was very red. !
His friends were notified ot his cpndi
tion, but no effort was made to relieve
him- He was reported near Windsor
on Wednesday, farther west on Thurs
day, and r rid ay was found in a sink
hole, nearly naked, badly frozen, and
the snow red from the blood trom bis
lace that ha bad scratched and torn
his delirium. He was conveyed to
stable in Wagner township, Friday
evening. Saturday a physician from
Elkader was procured, who found
him dying from his exposure aud
smallpox. Daring the night he ex
pired, with none near bim, alone ia
the stable, away lrom mother, broth
ers, sisters and friends.
A LAWYER-LIKE ANSWER.
A prominent lawyer was hailed
hile passing a jewelery store, by
the proprietor, with: "General, come
in here a moment, we bave something
for you to solve.. It a man brings
bis watch to be fixed, audit cost me
ten cents to do i and I keep it a
week, f ni charge him six dollars,
what per cent, do I make? We
have been figuring and make it 900
per i ent, and bave only got up to
one dollar. How much do you say it
would be at six dollars? 'replied tbe
general, "I do not wonder at your
perplexity, for it is well known, and
tie celebrated Babbage calculating
machine has demonstrated.thatat cer
tain points in progressive numbers
the law governing them changes. In
this case the law wonld change, and
long before it would reach the six
dollars it would run out of per cent,
and into what is known as larceny."

THE OLDEST AMERICAN SOLDIER
LIVING.
The press seems to be agitated
lately about tbe oldest living Amer
ican soldier. The claims of James
Wilkner, of ths first Pensylvania Vol
unteers ; Hiram Holiday, of the Six
ty first Illinois Volunteers (now dead)
and Jesse Whittaker, of the Seventy
ninth Illinois Volunteers, ts set forth
in the Tribunt ot the 2Sth ot Decem
ber, 1871, are all placed before the
people aa the oldest soldier. The lat
ter was born in Shelby county, Ky.,
June 30, 1793, and entered the serv- .
ice in 1314. This does very well, bnt '
the man who is entitled to the praise
ot beirg tbe oldest soldier is unques
tionably Brevet Bri.-Gen. Sylvanns
Thayer, a retired officer of tha Utited
States army, now living in or rear

to the Engineer Corps 1S08; seived '
in tha War of 1812. on the Canadian
frontier, and afterward at Norfolk,
Va , where he won thi brevet of Msjor
He was appointed Superintendent of
tbe West Point Academy in 1S12,
and was the master spirit of that in
stitution nntil 1833. Its high char
acter was dua to him as much as to
any man, living or dead. Ha. waa
made Brevet Lieutenant Colonel on
the 3rd or March, 1823; a Brevet
Colonel on the 3rd of Marcb, 1833 ;
and a Brevet Brigad ier General on the -3l3t

on the following day with the rank
of Colonel.

It is pleasing to know that, in bis
old ag3, he has a sufficient ccmpeten- - '
cy, and is surrounded by hosts of
friend, who both love and respect
him.
Thb Life of Dr. Raffles, of Liver
pool, has the following: "A young
lady, tha daughter ot tha owner oi
the house, was addressed by a man
who, though agreeable to her, was
disliked by her lather. Of course, he.,
would not consent to their union, and
she determined to elope. The night
was taxed, tbo hour came, he placed
tha ladder to the window, and in a
few minutes she was in his arms.
They mounted a double horse, and
were soon at some distance from the
he use. After a while the lady troke
silence by saying, ''Well, yon see
what a proof 1 have given yoa ot my
affection ; I hope yon will make me a
good husband.' He was a surly fel
low, and gruffly answered, 'Perhaps I
may, and perhaps not.' She made no
reply, but after a silence of some
minutes she suddenly exclaimed, 'Oh,
what shall we do? 1 have left
my money behind me in my rocm.
Then,' said he, 'we must go back
and fetch it.' They were soon again
at the house, the ladder was a?ain
placed, the lady remounted, while the
ill-natured lover waited below. But
she delayed to come, and so he gent
ly called, 'Are yon coming ? When
