THE KED WIG
“And Fanny," said the pretty Mrs. Mel
lison, a beautiful young widow of twenty
live concluding a series of directions to
Inr confidential waiting-maid, if Mr.
Thomas Tompkins calls, you may show
him up.”
“The red haired one ?” asked the wait
ing maid, with infinite scorn.
“Vos, Fanny, the gentleman with au
burn hair. Show him up directly. But if
his cousin Ilenry asks for me, I am not at
home.”
“I hate to tell him so," said the wait
ing maid.
“Why Fanny! Have you any consci
entious scruples about saying I am not at
home?”
"O dear, no ma'am! I'd .just as lieve
say you're gone to ltoxbury, on a visit to
your relatives, and wouldn't be back for a
week : it's my duty ma'am. But I hate to
disappoint such a nice, pretty-spoken,
dark-haired, genteel young gentleman, as
Mr. Ilenry.”
“How much has been given you to ad
vocate his cause, Fanny?”
“Not a penny, ma’am. I’d have you
know I scorn a bribe. I have never seen
the color of his money, and don’t know
whether he is rich or poor. But l declare
it's a burning shame, and everybody says
so. to see that young gentleman a
wastin’ away like a taller candle in a con
sumption, and you always a snubbin’ of
him, at the same time you’re affordin’
every encouragement to that stupid, red
haired, ordinary chap—his cousin. There!
I've spoke my mind, ma’am, and I feel re
lieved, even if you dismiss me the next
blessed minit. O ma’am you’re rich and
independent, now, why, since you've
made up your mind to marry again—don’t
you take up with Mr. Henry's offer? He's
-o sensible, and sprightly, and so hand
some."
• .uore reason wnv you snouiun i marry
i lump of ugliness," saiil Fanny.
“You didn’t know the late Mr. Melli
-hii ?" said his relict.
"No ma'am."
••Well, I'll tell you a secret. He was
master of the house, Fanny."
“Well ma'am, and wasn’t that right?”
"lie ruled me rigidly, Fanny, and I got
shockingly tired oi obeying orders like a
private in a marching regiment. So 1
made up my mind when I married again
: hat I would marry a man whom I could
•tile. Now Mr. Thomas Tompkins is just
he sort of person 1 was looking for; he is
ill gentleness and docility. Do you uu
lerstand me now ?”
“Yes’ni” said Fanny, sulkily, dropping
i sarcastic courtesy. “And 1 wisli you
uy of your bargain. A nasty, red-haired
hing she added, as she banged out of the
room and slammed the door behind her.
Tin* echo of her exit had hardly died
iwuv when the door opened and the ele
gant Henry Tompkins made his appear
ance.
“Y'ou hear?” exclaimed the widpw, in a
marked tone of displeasure.
“Yes, Maria, replied the young man,
firmly. "I knew you were at home, aud
1 braved your anger for the sake of seeing
Vim once more, of knowing your final de
cision.”
•T reject your offer, sir,” said the lady
decidedly, “with many thanks for the
honor. I have already bestowed my hand
m your cousin.”
••It is well for him he is my cousin,
otherwise—”
“Sir! This is not a tone to use in my
presence,” said the widow ; you have no
right to employ it. Retire, and when you
are in a better temper, perhaps 1 may re
ceive you as a friend."
“Maria,” said the young man, "may
you never have occasion to regret your
course. Adieu! May you he happy.” And
within it trusting himself with further words
lie retreated from the presence of the wid
owed beauty.
•Tie is \erv handsome and accomplish
ed." sighed the lady. “If lie had remain
ed live minutes longer, my eyes would
lia\e betrayed my admiration. Wliat a
pity lie lias a will of bis own !”
The person who next entered, after a
long interval, was the favored suitor. He
was dressed in shocking bad taste, but the
crying sin of his appearance was his un
fortunate le ad of hair. Yet he seemed
proud of his “burning shame,” for he
wore it long and curled, and frequently
ran his fingers through it, as he glanced
at its startling brilliancy rclleeteil in the
huge mirror.
• So you’ve come at last,” said the wid
ow severely. m
"Yes’in,” answered the favored suitor,
i cry timidly. "I'm behiud tiiuc’m but 1
had to wait'm."
“Wait, sir? Where have you been?”
•TiarlierVm,” said the terrified youth,
casting another surreptitious glance at the
mirror.
••nave you arraugeu your warurooc ior
the approaching ceremony?” asked the
widow.
“Yes’m, and l hope you'1 like'em ; blue
coat, bright buttons yellow vest bull ker
sevs. pumps and bowknot ribbons in 'em.”
"Ridiculous !” said the lady, imperious
ly. “Countermand the order. You must
lie dressed in black.”
“Yes'in. yes'in," answered the bride
groom, with hurried emphasis.
"I'm going out in the carriage, now, a
shopping,'' said the lady, “and 1 want you
to go with me.”
• 'Yes'in, certainly—happy—proud—dear
Maria!" the last words came out with a
jerk and were received with a frown.
“King that bell,” said the lady.
Mr. Thomas Tompkins jerked the bell so
nervously that the handle came off. He
ceiled a severe reprimand for his awk
wardness, Fanny answered the bell and
was directed to tell the coachman to har
ness ; but she came back to say that the
coachman swore that he wouldn’t go out
again, as he'd been out twice already that
morning.
“This it is to be a'poor lone woman!’'
said the lady, bursting into tears. “Send
him up here, Fanny.”
John soon made his appearance, lie
was a burly Englishman, and evidently
fond of strong beer.
“Shall I remonstrate with him, Maria?”
asked Mr, Tompkins very timidly.
“Remonstrate!” repeated the lady, with
a scornful smile. “If you had the spirit
of a man—”
“I thought you didn’t like spirit!” said
Mr. Tompkins.
“There are occasions sir,” said the
widow ; but her mortification cut short her
utterance. “My dear fellow,” said Mr.
Tompkins tothe coachman,surlily. “When
I drive for you, yon can give me your ad
vice. I alters look to my employer.”
“Then why didn’t you obey my or
ders?” asked the widow.
“Cause I ain’t a nigger—a blackamoor,”
answered the coachman, surlily, “and flesh
and blood can't stand your goings on.”
“O, if Henry were here!” said the widow.
“Fire and furies!” shouted Tompkins,
pulling off his red wig and flinging it in
the face of the coachman. “What do you
mean, scoundrel, by speaking in that man
ner? You are dismissed, ao you hear?
and leave the room instantly!”
“Not for the likes of you,” answered
the coachman doggedly.
The next moment he lay sprawling up
on his back, by a stunning blow scientific
ally planted midway between his organs
of vision. Not liking a repetition of the
same, the coachman picked himself up,
and retired in dismay.
“What does this transformation mean?”
asked the widow, gazing in astonishment
at the dark locks of her belligerent de
fender
“Simply this," was the reply, "that
Thomas Tompkins and Henry Tompkins
are the same. You wanted to marry an
imbecile; I determined to make such a
character ridiculous, and have, therefore,
thanks to liogle, been playing the assumed
part. Yet, dear Maria, I will take no un
due advantage of you; and if you are
afraid to marry a man, I’ll resign my
claims in favor of the ftext blockhead you
discover.”
“There is my hand,” said the widow,
blushing. “1 am satisfied. But was Fan
ny in the plot?"
“Necessarily; but this is the only matter
she ever deceived you in.”
So the widow married a second man of
spirit; but lie was no tyrant, and the house
hold authority was amicably shared be
tween them. "The coachman, wonderfully
improved by having a tight master, was
retained in his place, and never ventured
to refuse to harness, “because,” as he as
sured a crony of his, who drove a pea
green-cab, “Mr. Tompkins was a wonder
fully hard hitter!”

DRY EARTH SYSTEM I
For the Sewage of Town*, Factories,

AMPLE experience has shown the Dry Earth
System to be more efficient in preventing foul

til all respects entirely satisfactory, whether for the
Sick Boom or for constant use.
The Earth Closet offers to all. in town and coun
try, every benelit possessed by the Water Closet, at
tar less cost, with tile additional advantages, that it
is portable, and can be moved to the bedside in the
sickroom.
It promises more iu immunity from offensive
j odors, from infection in disease, and in the aaving
of fertilizers thau has ever been accomplished by
I a single invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth rea
1 ervoir are self-contained, and a movable pad takes
I the place of the vault.
