A True Tnle of llmr n l.lltlo tlnlil P.n lertnlned Ueu. VnHhlntnit. (Caroline Mays Hrevard In February St. Nicholas.) It was a bright spring moinlng In 1791, and the sun shone as bright over the r.r.vulon plantation as It did In the coun try town of Sillsbury. Yet little Miss Hetsy Hrandon, sitting lonely and dis consolate on the piazza of the great plan tation house, did not think of the sun shine, did not notice the gay tulips nod ding good morning, did not listen to tin merry songs of the birds, for her thoughts wi-re In Salisbury, nnd she longed to be there. For not more thin an hour ago all tho family had driven to town to see Gen. Vishlngton, who was to be received there with great honor, and with ns hand some a demonstration as the bravo pa triotic folk of the town and county could make for him. It was a wonderful thing, this South ern tour of the general now President of th" I'nlted States. Ho hnd traveled In his fnmllv carriage all the way down from Virgil-.1.-!, through the Carollnns :iud Georgia near the coast to Stvannah, and was now returning through the "up country," stopping at Augusta, Camden, Charlotte and other towns. All nlong the route people milled to do him honor, nnd war-worn veterans who had followed his t,indaid pressed near to grasp his hand. And now that ho was coming to Salis bury such grand things were to be done! Capt. John Halrd. In command of tlio "Rowan Light Horse Company." had ono to meet him at Charlotte and escort him to Salisbury. A company of boys one of whom wius Hetsy's brother were to meet him half a mile from town nnd march as his escort with tho men. And the lmys were to bo In uniform and were to wear buck talis In their hats. And Hetsy's sister was to be one of the llttl" girls, nil dressed In white, to scitter flowers before the general whei he en tered the town. Oh. It would all bo beautiful! Yet lietsy must st'iy at home. Was It not a little hard? And was It altogether strange that twelve-year-old Hetsy, In spite of the s.'lf-eoutrol taught by the strict old-time discipline, must, from time to time, wipe away the gather ing tears? Yet not every one bad gone to Salis bury, for, after a while, lietsy was sur prised to see two gentleiiKii riding up th" avenue. On reaching lb" house they dis mounted, and one a gentleman of very grand and handsome nppe-irauco bowed low to the little maid and asked If sho would be kind enough to give breakfast to two tired wayfarers. lietsy cutslod, In a pretty, old-fashion way and said that as all th" grown peo ple had gone to town to sec Gen. Wash ington, 'he was afraid the breakfast might not he very nice, but h" would hav s-oni"thlng ready In a little while, and would th"y pleised Iv seatel on the piazza.

It was boldly charged In the land- I erons and libelous article that Dr. Pierce's 1 Kavnrlto Prescription, for tho euro of woman s weaknesses and ailments, con tained alcohol and other harmful Ingredi ents. Dr. Plercn promptly brought, suit nKalnst tho publishers of the Ladles Uomo Journal, for W0,0OO,oo damages. Dr. Plerro alleged that Mr. Hok, tho editor, maliciously published tho article containing such falso and defamatory matter wit) the Intent of Injuring his buslnesirturthcrmore, that no alcohol, or other Jurlous. or habit-forming, drugs are, on er jvnre, contained In his "Fa- vnrlto esatlptlon"; that said medlclno Is mada f6m native medicinal roots and contat no harmful InKredlents what- ever d that Mr. Uol; s malicious state- me! were wholly and absolutely false.

The "plain old man" was very dignltled and courteous, and there was something In III bearing so noble thit t-omchow his little hostess felt that heie was a man fit to stand with the greatest, "t prom- inc you," he continued, "tint you shall see Gen. Wnshlngton before any of your I people do.' ' How that might be H"tsy did not know, nor did she question. Tor there was I something about this unexpected guest ! that won her trust from the beginning. . So she hurried away to the kitchen to Interview' old Ulnnh. Then, while Dinah i wns linking ready the boeeake, and Cln ! dy wis petting the table, Hetsy herself ran down the hill to the spring houso for the milk nnd bulter. In a little while the simple repast was ready, and tho I guests were bidden to partake of It. i lietsy was pleai-ed, ns any hosto's ! would have been, to see how the brrak fast was enjoyed. lCneournged by tho kindness of the genlleman who had prom ised that she should sec Gen. Washing ton, she t.ilk"d freely of the great doings in own thai day. There was to bo a grand leceptlon In the afternoon and a i ball .it night. Her mother bad the most 1 beautiful town for the liall, and no doubt all the other ladies had beautiful gowns. Hut her father would wear his old uni form. And then sho told of how her father honored and loved Gen. Washing ton, and of how he said that he was the greatest man and tho best in all tho world. Hut now the guests rose and he who had asked for the breakfast thanked Hetsy for It. "The milk you gave me, In; said, "Is the best T have drunk for many a day. and the hoe-cake Is dell ulous. I thank you fo'r your kindness. I must now bid you farewell and go on my Journey." "I'arnvell, sir," said Hetsy, curtsying. "Hut when" for now the question would come "when do I see Gen. Wash ington?" Sho raised her eager eyes to meet those of the strnnger who had given her tho promise. With a kind smile he answered simply: "I am Gen. Washington." Like other wonderful things It had .all come about very naturally. The general wns fatigued by bin Journey, nnd know ing that lv would have little opportunity of rest during the day, left Ills party for awhile, and, with one attendant, rodo on horeback to the nranclon bouse for some refieshinent before going on to Sal isbury, six miles further. And so It camo to pass that the little glil In the North Carolina farmhouse not only saw the great man but entertained him at break fast.

COrELAND WIT. There Is an Instructor at Harvard who, on account of his eccentricity und his custom of giving every enjoyable Wed nesday evening readings, is rather pop ular among the students. He dislikes ex ceedingly to be Interrupted at his readings by anything, nnd even a person entering the room late Is apt to call down on him self some hit of polite sarcasm. Just befoie Christmas this Instructor was readlr-g from Dickens' "Chrlsttno.s C.nol." As he reached the part where liny Tim "beat on the table with thfi handle of his knife, nnd feebly cried, 'Hurrah!' " one student was amuM'd, and, in attempting to suppress a luugh, let out a squeal that broke the strained silence of the others Into an uproar of laughter. When It had subsided, the In structor, with a scorn and insinuation uncalled for by the stury, read the next sentence: "There never was such a goose!" and stopped, while the students, suddenly appreciating, broke again Into roars of laughter to the great discom fiture of tlio offending one. DWIGIIT MOODY'S (TUB. Dwlght L. Moody once called on n ministerial brother In an eastern ' town, desiring to spend the next day, Sunday, with him.

McNUIH'S PR1VATK riCHOOT, On the old foundation near the barway that led lo the former hoim-stead of the late lCmlly Wing In the town of Charlotte, the house of Uyman Wooster once stood. Mr. Wooster was grandfather of the late Charles Woos ter. Kfiuth of this silo, on the west side of the road to the ferry-, Captain Charles McNeil built a schoolhouse where his children woro taught by teachers em ployed and paid by him. Frequently one of his oldor rtaughterH taught during the summer and In tho winter students from the UnlverMlty of Vermont nt Hur llngton wero engaged. In addition to his own fnmlly the children of his em ployees and others received regular In struction hero. William McNeil of Shelburne recalls those school days for he was ono of thn attendants.

McNeil, terminating Its educntlonnl career, IU'INICD PROSPKHOrs FGRIIY Indicative of tho changes that come to the business world on account of tho changed methods of transportation, the store and storehouse that stood on the M"Nel ferry dock, Charlotte, and the tnvern house, now a dwelling on the Wlnterbotham farm, used to rent for $l,H0 a year. The advent of the Rutland and Hurllngton railroad about IMS and the Vermont Central up the valley of the Wlnnoskl to tho Connecticut river, changed the current of business to n degree hardly appreciated by this generation, The traffic of mountain towns that shipped nnd received freight by the ferry in enormous quantities went elsewhere.
