Suddenly, recently has swooped

The bamboo huts are built in the

eyes haunted him.
"I s'pose it is liks telling the birds

thought. •'But to give her a piano!
How in the world—"
Then a sudden thought almost took
away his breath. He got up from his
chair, and kissing Essie, went to the
door to think it over. The young wid
ow, warned that it was nearly tea-time
by the clock, sped to the kitchen, and
did not know when her father-in-law
put on his overcoat and hat and went
down to the village.
He came back with some great pro
ject in every line of his rugged, sun
brown face.
Tea was a success. The toast was
delicately browned, and the ham done
to a turn. When the meal was over
the old man said:
"Essie, do you remember the cross
you told me your father gave you for a
birthday gift?"
My diamond cross!"
You would not like to part with it?
"No. 1 have many other of his gifts.
Nothing so valuable as that. The gen
tleman who took charge ot my father's
affairs told me I could keep all his
gifts to me."
You—you—would not like to give
the cross to sell, Essie? Our money is
getting very short—"
A kiss, tender and quick, stopped
the words that came so hesitatingly.
You are gladly welcome to it, far
ther! I wonder I did not think of it be
fore."
So the dainty bauble lay in the far
mer's horny palm, and while Essie
cleared the tea-table John Trowbridge
went once more to the village.
Dr. Reynolds, the only physician
there, Harry's fast friend for years,
was in his office when the farmer en
tered.
There it is!" said the visitor tri
umphantly. "You are sure it is worth
the money P"
"Perfectly sure. And Mrs. Trow
bridge wishes me to invest the sum
I obtain in a piano?"
"Bless you, no! that's my part of it.
You see,tbe poor little soul tries to do her
best, but she ain't fit for her hard life.
If there was any other home for her
I'd send her away, though I'd rather
miss the sunlight.* She's as dainty as a
butterfly, and yet she has no fine lady
ways either. But she hankers for a
money, she put it in my band with a
kiss, and told me-I was gladly welcome.
She's a good girl, if she ain't much of
a hand at work."
She is not very strong," and Ernest
Reynolds stifled a sigh as he spoke.
Then, with a quick change of voice,' he
added: "I am going to the city to
morrow. I will sell the cross and buy
the piano."
But when the fanner was gone
Ernest Reynolds took strange licerties
with the jewel he held in charge. He
slipped-a ribbon through its ring and
hung it over his own heart. More
than once he touched his lips to the
hard, glitterng stones, whispering:
"Essie, little Essie!"

The next day he had it valued by a
jeweler, and bought a piano with the
sum named but the cross rested still
upon his heart as the bill of the sweet
toned instrument was paid.
It would be a vain task to describe
Essie's pleasure when the piano was
brought to the sitting-room. She cried
and smiled at the same time, and her
earnest thanks brought moisture to the
old farmer's eyes.
He knew nothing of the wonderful
power prisoned in the slender fingers,
scarred with rough work. He had no

for two years when one evening Essie

ing forth a melody full of sweetness.
It was neither glad nor sad, and not
so loud but John Trowbridge, on the
porch, could hear the voiee 0? Dr. Rey

heartfelt tones.
When he had heard all tke old man
said:

her short married life tied her to an old
man who was so poor* a companion for
her. I believe Harry himself would
bid you God speed.
And Essie, when the love plea was
whispered, the message' delivered,
bent her head to hide happy tears.
"You will let me love you?" the doc

Only the little hand nestled closer in
his own for answer. But after a little
time, the sweet, clear voice, asked:
"You will let me keep' my promise to

'I only ask to help you in your care

"It seems so strange to think you
love me!" Essie said, after they had
talked long.
"Little one, I loved you before Har

And while he loosed the ribbon and

Chinese Costumes.
Our doctors are content'with feeling
the pulse in one wrist a Chinaman feels
both, as a preliminary to teeling many
more, for he recognizes four hundred
and one distinct pulses. We deem the
right hand side to be the position of
highest honor the Chinese places his
most honored guest on the left.
With us, advancing years are very
commonly ignored—especially by ladies
—but the Chinese of both sexes glory
in the age which is surest passport to
honors, and the height of courtesy is
to assure your guest that from his or
her appearance you would have taken
him or her to be much older than the
age stated. This again implies a curi
ous diversity in custom, for, whereas
wc should hardly deem it courteous to
ask a stranger how old he or she is, it
is almost the hrst question asked by a
polite Chinaman anxious to show honot
to his guest.
Then, too, in the matter of mourn

the chief mourner carries a staff en

personality in a marble bathtub in the
House bath-room at the capitol.
While he was disporting himself in
tepid water,made foaming with scented
soaps,and was about ready to be rubbed
dry by the attendant, a messenger came
down and called to him from tbe out
side that there were some gentlemen
above anxious to see him on important
business for a monnnt, as they were
obliged to depart hurriedly to catch a
train.
"Who are they P" called the general
blowing the water out of his mustache
with a snort like a porpoise.
"They are some gentlemen from
Ohio, sir."
"Are they people from my district
asked Ben.
"Yes sir," answered the messenger.
"Then for heaven's sake don't send
them down here. Shut the doors there
and keep them out. Good Lord! if
any of them find I bathe in a marble
tub and am rubbed down by a nigger
instead of going down to the creek and

The unterrified and unwashed con

Morning.
The town was glad with morning
light places that had shown ugly and
distrustful all night long, now wore
smile, and sparkling «unbea:ns dancing
on chamber windows, and twinkling
through blind and curtain before sleep
ers' eyes, shed light even into dreams,
and chased away the shadows of the
night. Birds in hot rooms, covered up
close and dark, felt it was morning,
and chafed and grew restless in their
little cells bright-eyed mice crept back
to their tiny homes and nestled timidly
together the sleek house-cat, forgetful
of ner prey, sat winkinsr at the rays of
sun stealing through the keyhole and
cranny in the door, and longed for her
stealthy run and warm, sleek bask out
side. The nobler beasts confined in
dens stood motionlessJbehind,their bars
and gazed on fluttering boughs and
sunshine peeking through some little
window, with eyes in which old forests
gleamed—then trod impatiently the
track their imprisoned feet had worn
—and stopped and gazed a?ain. Men
their dungeons stretched their
cramped, cold limbs, and cursed the
stone that no bright sky could warm.
The flowers that sleep by night opened
their gentle eyes and turned them to
the day. The light, creation's mind,
was everywhere, and all things owned
its powers—Chartts Dickens {Old Cttri

Why Dlckeas Lalt His Wife,
The real cause of Dickens's separa
tion from his wife has never been public*
but it was really known to intimates.
Buckstone, of the Haymarket Theatre,
said: "It was all the fault of Mrs. Dick
ens." Chapman (the publisher, of
Chapman & Hall) simply observed, in
reply to my inquiry "Tbey were un
fitted for each other." But Mark
Lemon was infuriated he, the closest
intimate said: Dickens was a scoun
drel, and Mrs. Dickens had been taken
under Mrs. Lemon's protection." The
secret was revealed on the publication
of Dicken's will. The first bequest is
£1.000 to Miss (TernaD), the
daughter of a worthy woman and dis
tinguished aetrese. It seems that Diek
ens, who had sent her to Italy formusi
cal education, became enamored of the
girl, and she bore him three children.

fingers there rather slily."
Clapping his hands to his pockets,
Pat ascertained that both watch and
pocket-book were missing.
"Murther!" "he cried, gesticulating
like a whale with a dozen harpoons in
his side. "The thafe! the spalpeen!
the coorse! I knew him well, wid all
bis family. His grandfather was
hanged—and his father was hanged—
and he'd been hanged hisself if he'd
not run away!"
When Baby was sick, we gave her CAS
TORIA.
When she was a Child, she cried for CAS
TORIA.
When she became Miss, she clung to Cas
TORIA.
When she had Children, she gave them
CASTORIA.
A 8al History.
Car Dreyer, a Norwegian of 26,
climbed to the top of a freight car
standing on aside track about mile
north of the Meridan depot, recently,
and as the afternoon express came
rushing toward the station, he jumped
in front of the locomotive and was cut
into fragments. Dreyer's history is ro
mantic and pathetic. He was born in
Stavinger, Norway. His father is a
publisher of means there, and occupies
a good social position. Carl was liber
ally educated, and was employed as
bookeeper in a bank in his native town
A few 3 ears ago he became enamored
of a girl in Stavinger, but his father
refused him permission to marry her on
the ground that she was beneath him in
social position. Dreyer came to this
country intending to earn enough to
make ~a home for his affianced. He
went to Meriden, and had been em
ployed in several of the factories. His
hopes of making a fortune were not re
alized, for he was barely able to sup
port himself. He became despondent
and lost all ambition. For months he
had been earning but 90 cents a day,
Lately he hai no work at all and lived
on crackers in a cheap lodging house.
He was unsocial in disposition, and
had been seen many times wandering
aimlessly about the streets at all hours
of the night.
A trunk in his room was tilled with
music, elegantly bound volumes of po
etry, beside several diplomas for good
scholarship. He was an accomplished
linguist, and had a remarkable knowl
edge of European and American poli
tics.
A Fashionable Boarding House.
"What class of boarders have you?"
he asked of the landlady while looking
at the fourth floor back "fashionable
people?"
"Yes, indeed," she replied "some of
the biggest bugs in town board with
me."
