Pansy's Hoax.
BY MAT LBWI3.
Pansy Fsirohild had hair liker apnn.
amber, and soft, laughing eyes of the
deepest blae thai eVer. bewitched the
heart of man., No man in his senses
wonld think: of defying those sonny
orbs consequently Gny' Shcrmaif mnst
have been out of his or he wonld hot
have stood there so coolly that summer
morning, telling that young lady
that' be was going to marry
Minnie-Lee instead of herseif. Jg^ia
trae there was no engagement Gay
had never oommitted himself ioFwords
b«t he had only come barely short of
it ia: tbe expreMivenesa of bis elo*
qnent glances, the depth of bis sighs,
and the sly squeezes be had smuggled
to Pansy's velvety fingers under cover
of moonlight strolls and long talks in
the shadow of the front porch.
Guy had been very much in love'
with Pansy, there w«s no doubt about
that he wee yet, but he didn't know
how much. Poor Guy was rather at
the mercy of a rich old uncle, whose
prospective heir he was, and with whose
evermsting'dispiea8nre be' was tbreat
enedii he did hot straightway marry
Miss Minnie Lee, who was the penni
less daughter of a woman whom
Henry' Sherman had loved when
he was young, and had missed
marrying. He bad always .intend*
ed this matoh, but bad been so
long in hotilying thjL^priooipal parties
concerned that they had nearly gone
each another way before they learned
his wishes.
Minnie was a tender little blossom,
lovely as the first bine-eyed violet of
spring, and just ss incapable of doing
any thing bat what she was told. Be
sides, dear, good Uncle Henry,, as she
called him, had been so kind to her
bow opuld she thwart any wish of his
heart?
Pansy Fairohild felt as though she
was ohokmg, as she listened to Guy's
cold-blooded announcement, but every
fibre of her little body thrilled with de
termination not to give one sign, oi sur
render. She dropped him a demure
nod of graceful approval, and went into
the usual hypocritical feminine raptures
over the prospective bride.
"Such a darling, you know and you
like your own way so well, Mr. Sher
man. You" couldn't have found a wom
an who would be more willing you
should nave it."
Guy frowned. Minnie's waxy nature
wee a vexed question with' him.: He
liked to see people have some mind of
their own, he bad told his unole only
that morning. Then he stood and
watched Pansy, while she went down
upon her knees again among the straw
berries she had been picking when he
joined her. Her little white-. fingers
flashed in and out among the green,
leaves, without a tremor in them, as
she chatted on about the, charms of his
betrothed, till Gny fairly sickened un
der the infliction, and came to the
mortifying conolosion that Pansy was
heart-wbple-after ^lV'ijb^/Jiis, V'w^as
concerned.
"Good-bye, Pansy %i jattored'' |n
an involuntarily doleful tone, as he turn
ed to go. ~'**i*-${
"Good-bye, Mr. Sherman,!' quoth
Pansy "going so soon?- You must
bring Minnie over. I long to kiss her,
the darling1 You and I have been such
old friends/you know."
"Friends, indeed I" snapped Guy, as
he strode away toward the front gate.
.'» *.
"HallooI" cried Pansy, as some one
bounced over tho garden palings, up
setting her strawberries, and' 'nearly
knocking her over besides. "0, 'its
yon, is it, Mr. Roger Glenn 7 Well, 1
should like to know where you name
rrom^f. .: eft ai •:....,, ,,
I came Uirough the orchard, and
I'm very sorry, Miss Pansy I" stammer
ed luckless Roger* n.. tall, fine-looking
fellow, with a silky brown moustache in her eyes like a hunted fawo.
and a long brown curly beard.
"Humph I How's Minnie?*' asked
Pansy^..- ..... ..,,. .-v~'. _-..•• ,,
"0, Miss Pansy, have "^ou,henid'T.
They're going to make bet: in^ him.f
"Make, indeed 1" Pansy sneered,
with a toss of her yellow curls. "I
should like to see anybody make me 1"
"But you're so different, of course.
Minnie is such a timid little thiug."
«LfttleP mocked Psnsy. "She is
three inches taller than I am, and I
wouldn't be afraid of my shadow if I
'werirshe^"
"Ikhb# ^c«. Wohldn'tj everybody
"Well, what are you going to do
about it Pansy demanded, grsvely
resuming her: strawberry picking.
"Do?" interrupted Roger, wonder
ingly. "I'd like to know what there
WM left for a fellow to do 7 You might
as well talk to a doorpost as to Henry
Sherman."
"Precisely and Minnie' and Guy
wouldn't say anything if he wasn't a
a doorpost/' responded Pansy sharply.
"I'll tell you what it is, Roger Glenn,
you and I will have to take this matter
into our own bands."
Roger stared helplessly, as Pansy
turned toward him, with her sun-bon
net pushed back, and a stern light in
her dark blue eyes.
"I should like to know how," he
sighed.'
"We'll get married, too!"
"We? who?" he stammered.
'You and If?^ Pansy said, with a de
fiant nod. "Not in real earnest, you
coward.1" she added, turning red as a
oarnation.
"0!" ejaculated Roger, blushing too,
but looking more cheerful at this view
of the case. "Make'em jealous, eh?
It wont do any good, though.! Minnie
is euoh a timid—"
^Djon/^toTlsJw that again l" inter
posed ?*nsy, |a^ly. "You do as I tell
you, and I'll take the responsibility of
the" rest."
"All right," said Roger, bat he
looked doubtful still.
"In the first place, do you keep away
from Minnie, mind that and in the
seoond, spend all your spare time here.
That*ii do for to-day. Come back af
ter dinner arid play Croquet wltb^ .me,"
Thus it obaneed that Giiy Sherman,
sauntetihg that way that evening from
mere force of ^abit, found Roger Glenn
installed 00 the porch, with Pansy
looking lovely as an odshsque in the
shadow of the olimbirig roses.
"So glad to see you," chimed she,
musically. "Where's Minnie? Roger
and I were just speaking of you two."
Guy stared, and made some sort of
incoherent response, while, at a word
from Pansy, Roger made room beside
hi uself for him to sit down.
"Ldori't know," Pansy said, with a
glance of arch brightness, "but Roger
ought to tell you our secret you
were so kind this morning. Roger and
I have been nearly as sly as you and
dear Minnie
She was spared further words. Mut
tering something about not having time
to stop longer just then, Guy rose be
fore he had fairly sat down, and smil
ing ghastly, withdrew, not rapidly
enough, however, to avoid hearing
Pansy say in an exaggerated whisper:
"Two are better oompauy than three
eh, Roger
"Do you suppese he'll tell Minnie
Roger asked anxiously.
"Of oourse, he will," Pansy respond
ed. "There's a riding party to the
sulphur spring next Tuesday," she
said after a thoughtful pause. "Guy
will take Minnie, of oourse, and you'll
take me, equally of oourse and you'll go
right away to-morrow morning and se
cure the two best horses that are to be
got for love or money. Mind, now, that
30U don't go ^near Minnie, and that
you come here at least every afternoon
and evening."
Between that and Tuesday, Guy.
ShermAn called three times and found
Roger there each time. The remain
ing days he came only near enough to
the bouse to see—and be seen—and
prudently retreated.
The riding party came off in its due
order, with handsome Roger looking
like a prince of the blood on his bigh
stepping bay borse and Pansy match
lessly lovely in her close-fitting habit
of dark blue, and mounted on the mate
to Roger's bay. Roger bad literally
obeyed her in the matter pf horses.
He glanced furtively at Minnie's sweet
fade, as she and Guy rode up and join-,
ed them, and his heart smoke hint as
he saw how pale it was.'
"Tut 1" spoke1 Pansy, as she swept
Closer to his side "don't be sentiment
al yet the day is ours, if we half try.
If I catch you looking at Minnie again,
I shall be tempted to box your ears
Mriridly:'*
In wholesome fear of such admon
ition, or else inspired with implioit faith
in her tactics, Roger did his best to
Obey, and if he stole a look at Minnie
again took care not to be oaught at .it
by either of the girls.
I HowJGuy Sherman set his white
teeth as he watched those two in suoh
cosy chat and again sweeping away side
by side, the high-stepping bays fairly
spurning the ground with their light
hoofs, While Pansy's long snowy plume
Streamed but, and her sweet laughter
floated' back on the wings of the sum
mef breeze.
Poor little Minnie was the more
wretched of the two, though, as she
rode almost withoufypeaking and a look
1
The
rest of the party found Pansy and ROR
er already seated in the shadow of the
trees as they rode up, Roger indus
triously fanning bis fair companion with
bis bat
The poor fellow nearly lost
his balance as be saw how Minnie look
edj but a warning pinoh from Pansy re
called his scatterod senses.

BT JAMES PARTON.
We oatoh our first view of this un
happy lady on a bright May day, in
1778, when she took part in a famous
and splendid pageant at Philadelphia.
She was then a beautiful girl of eight,
een—Miss Margaret Shippen—the
daughter of an opulent and ancient
Philadelphia family, and one of the
reigning belles of that town. Her an
cestors were among the first settlers in
Pennsylvania, and her great-grandfa
ther was the first Mayor of Philadel
phia. In the course of time the fami
ly had acquired great possessions and,
laying aside the Quaker garb, had be
come members of the Cburch of Eng
land. During tbe controversy between
the thirteen colonies and the Kin*,
which ended in the Revolutionary war,
Edward Shippen, her father, the head
of the family, was inclined to the
King's side.
It was May the 18th, 1778. For
many months the British army had
been quartered in Philadelphia, com
manded by Major-General Sir William
Howe. The General had now been
superseded, and was about to return to
England. The officers of the army—
a wealthy elass, who had nothing to do
"—seised the occasion of his retirement
to amuse themselves by giving a grand
festival in his honor and this was the
day on which it was held.
The affair began with a spend regat
ta upon the Delaware river, or rather
a loner procession ofjgalleys and barges,
filled with officers and ladies, which
were rowed slowly down the whole
length of tbe oity, in an avenue form
ed by the shore crowded with specta
tors, and a line of men-of-war and
transport ships, gaily dressed with flags
and streamers. At half-past four in
tbe afternoon, the barges began to
move, thenars keeping time to the
martial music, and when they had ar
rived opposite Market street, they all
hid on their oars, while the band play
ed "God Save the King, after which
tbe soldiers gave three cheers. Con
tinuing their course, tbe oompany were
Conveyed past the city to where a
grand tournament was to take plaoe
and it was in this portion of the enter
tainment that Margaret Shippen shone.
A spacious field, surrounded by troops,
had been prepared for the contest.
Upon one side was stationed all the
bands of musie in tbe army. There
were two pavilions, with rows of bench
es, one above tbe other, filled with the
most distinguished ladies of the oity.
On the front seat of each of these
pavilions,were plaoed seven of the most
beautiful young ladies Pennsylvania
could boast. They—were dressed in
Turkish costume—trowsers, tunics and
turbans—and in their turbans they
wore the favors with which they in
tended to reward the knights who were
to contend in their honor. Among
these lovely maidens sat Miss Margaret
Shippen. One of tho knights who
figured in the tournament was Captain
Andre, her familiar acquaintance. Lit
tle could either of them have thought,
on this bright day, how fatally their
destinies were involved.

five mirrors, and lighted by thirty-four
branches of wax caudles. The ball
was opened by fourteen belles in Turk
ish dress, and their fourteen knights
one Lieutenant Sloper being the knight
who lead Miss Shippen out to dance.
At ten o'clock, tbe windows were
thrown open, and a splendid display of
fire-works was exhibited.
At twelve, large folding doors, which
bad hitherto been concealed, were sod
denly thrown open, which revealed a
gorgeous ssloon, two hundred and ten
feet long, forty feet wide, and twenty
two feet high, with three alcoves on
each side. This was the supper room.
Upon the tables there were twelve hun
dred dishes. As the guests entered
the room, a great number of black
slaves in Oriental costume, ranged in
two lines, bowed to the ground. This
vast apartment was one splendor of
wax lights, flowers, ribbons, flags, mir
rors and silver plate. One ot the
regular toasts of the occasion was,
"Miss Shippen and her knight." Af
ter supper, the oompany returned to
the ball room, and kept up the danoe
until four in the morning, teaching
their homes about sunrise.
The festival, as Major Andre re
marks, was the most gorgeous ever
given by an army to its chief. And
little, indeed, had that chief done to
deserve it. An old officer of the Brit
ish army, who perceived the folly of
paying such extravagant honors to a
General who had won no victories, said
sadly: "What will Washington think
of all this?"
Exactly a month from that day the
British army evacuated Philadelphia,
and away they sped across Jersey, with
General Washington at their heels. A
day or two after a body of American
troops marched in, commanded by
General Benedict Arnold. All .was
changed. The red coats bad disap
peared—blue coats were in the ascend
ant and tbe new Yankee general was
the foremost man in the oity. Arnold,
a vain, weak man, ever fond of display
and luxury, appropriated one of the
handsomest houses in the town, where
he set up a costly establishment, kept
a great many servants, gavo splendid
dinners, and maintained a handsome
equipage drawn by four horses—a scale
ofexpense utterly inoompatable either
with his fortune or his pay. No one,
however, knew at tbe time that, to
maintain this costly pomp, he was con
cerned in speculations unworthy of an
officer and gentleman, and sometimes
used the publio money tbst passed
through his hands.
In inviting his guests, as the patri
otic portion of the people remarked
with surprise, he was as likely to select
Tories as Whigs. He seemed to court
the adherents of the King, and he fre
quently had at his table the wives and
daughters of public enemies, who had
been publicly proscribed, and had
found refuge with the enemy in New
York. Among the families who at
tracted his regard was that of Edward
Shippen, and he was soon observed to
pay particular court to bis daughter,
Margaret. Arnold was then a widow
er, thirty-eight years of age. Ere long
he formally asked for her hand from
her father, and her father consenting,
he addressed the daughter, and they
were engaged.
In the meantime Arnold had be
come so odious by bis extravagance,
and his insolent, overbearing conduct
to the people, that Congress was
obliged to take oognizanoe of the fact.
On the eve ef his marriage, he was or
dered to be tried by a oourt martial.
Miss Shippen, however, was true to her
engagement, and married him five days
after. The oourt martial, as every one
knows, sentenced him to be reprimand
ed by General Washington, and he was
reprimanded accordingly.
"Our profession," said General
Washington to him, "is the ohastast of
all even the shadow of a fault tarnish
es the luster of our finest achievements.
The least inadventure may rob us of
the favor, so hard to be acquired. I
reprehend you for having forgotten
that, in proportion as yon had rendered
yourself formidable to your enemies,
you should have been guarded and
temperate in your deportment towards
your fellow-oitiaens. Exhibit anew
those noble qualities which have plaoed
you on the list of our most valued com
manders. I will, myself, furnish you,
as far as it may be in my power, with
opportunities of regaining the esteem of
your country."
This was more like an. enloginm
than a reprimand but it did not touch
the heart of Arnold, who went from
the presence of his commander, not to
regain the esteem of his oouotry, but to
betray that country.
A year passed away. He was in
command at West Point, in correspond
ence with the enemy. Whether she
shared her husband's secret during
those months of preparation, will per
haps never be known with certainty.
Just before the explosion of the treason
at West Point, Arnold sent for his wife
and child to join him, and I have seen
the letter which he wrote to her on
this occasion, telling her of tbe best
way of reaching him, and what houses
she oould stop at on the road.
Arnold and his wife were seated at
the breakfast table, with Hamilton,
Lafayette and an aid. In the midst of
tbe meal a horseman alighted at the
door and, a moment after, a letter was
placed in Arnold's hands, which in
formed him of his ruin. He controlled

room, where lay their infant child
and there he told her that he was a
ruined man, and must fly, that instant
for his life. She fell senseless to tbe
floor. Leaving her there, he rushed
from the room, hurried down stairs,
sent some one to her assistance, and
then returned to tbe breakfast room.
He told his guests that General Wash
ington was coming, and he must make
haste to prepare for his reception.
mounted the horse of the messenger
who had brought tbe letter, and gal
loped away.
Colonel Hamilton has left us an in
teresting account of Mrs. Arnold's de
meanor after her husband's departure.
He says she remained frantic all day,
and accused every one who approached
berof an intention to murder her child.
She continued, he says, to rave until
she was utterly exhausted. But Col
onel Burr, in his old sge, was accus
tomed to give a very, different account
of the matter. He had known Mrs.
Arnold from her infancy, and he de
clared that she knew all about her hus
band's treason from the beginning,
and he used,to relate a scene which he
said he witnessed at the house of Mrs.
Prevost, whom he afterwards married,
which somewhat confirms his opinion.
Mrs. Arnold, it will be remembered,
was sent borne to her father, escorted
by a party of horse, and remained for
a night at the house of Mrs. Prevost,
where Colonel Burr was. Mrs. Arnold,
he said, burst into the room dressed in
a riding habit, and was about to speak
to the lady of the bou& when, seeing
him in the dim light ot the apartment,
and not recognizing him, she asked
anxiously
"Am I safe Is this a gentleman
friend
Upon discovering who be was, she
told them how she had deceived Gen
eral Washington, Colonel Hamilton,
and the other American officers by her
frantic outcries and she declared that
she not only knew of the treason, but
that it was she who had induced her
husband to commit it.
This was Colonel Burr's story, to
which the reader may attach the credit
which he thinks it deserves. Arnold
himself does not say that she was ig
norant of his intentions to surrender
the fortress. In the well known letter
which he sent back to General Wash
ington ftom the Vulture, he says:
"Prom the known humanity of your
Excellency, I am induced to ask your
protection of Mrs. Arnold from every
insult and injury that a mistaken
vengeance of my couutry may expose
her to. It ought to fall only on one
she is as good and innocent as an
angel, and as incapable of doing
wrong."
The authorities of Pennsylvania be
lieved with Mr. Burr, that she was a
traitor. Her papers were seised, and
although nothing was found in them
to criminate her, she was not per
mitted to remain at her father's
house, which she said she desired to
do.
Her father offered to give security
that, during the war, she would write
no letters to her husband, and send to
the government, unopened, any letters
she mie ht receive from him. His of
fer was refused, and they ordered her
to depart, and not to return duriog tbe
war. Being then obliged to join her
husband in New York, she soon re
covered her spirits, and shone in socie
ty, to use the language of the time, as
"a star of the first magnitude." In
England, too, whither she accompanied
her husband, she attracted much at
tention for her beauty, and was much
flattered in Tory circles. The British
government gave Arnold, in compensa
tion for his American losses, something
less than £7,000, and settled upon bia
family a pension of £1,000 a year,
which was to be continued as long as
the husband or wife survived. Their
family increased in England. Arnold,
finding himself pinched upon an income
of £1,300 per annum, went upon
trading voyage to Halifax with what
success is not known. It was thought
by some that he was glad to leave Eng
land tor awhile to escape the oontempt
in which ho was held, even by those
who had employed him.
Mrs. Arnold lived to 1804, when
she died, aged forty-three years. That
infant son whom she held in her arms,
as described above, entered the British
army in 1798, rose to the rank ef Lieu
tenant-General, and was still living as
late as 1850. One of her grand-child
ren is a clergyman in tbe Church of
England—it is said a very worthy gen*
tleman—who has conversed with Amer
ican visitors about his grandfather in a
rational and becoming manner. Two
of her sons settled in Canada, where
they acquired competent estates, and
were living in 1829.
COLORADO.
A correspondent of the St. Peter
7Vi6une writing from El Paso county,
Colorado, says
"Hundreds of mechanics, laborers
and farmers, of small means, come
here on false information only to be
disappointed and disgusted, and to la
ment their credulity.
"A late Denver paper says, 'The
numerous applications for olerkships by
young men ave nuisances. We wish
they conld be compelled to buy a shov
el and hoe and bo wide to use them.'
Another paper, says,'Our city is filled
with idlers and men ont of employment.
We hope every ranchman, farmer, and
others in the country wanting help,
will send in their names arid post-office
address, with the kind of help wanted,
to the Secretary of the Board of Immi
gration, in order that something! may
be done to relieve this great pressure.'
Recently the miners at Fairplay, a
mining town, held a mass meeting to
consider the matter of wagesi Amont?
other resolutions, it was resolved that
no more 'Pilgiims' eome to Fairplay
for work, as the supply of laborers was
in excess of the demand. Allured by
the promise of high wages,' thousands
of laborers and mechanics have gone to
Colorado from the States only to be dis
appointed, and learn, when too late,
that they would have done better to
have stayed at home. No man ought
to go to Colorado to invest, With a view
of permanent settlement, until he has
first gone and looked the whole ground
over, and satisfied himself that it is the)
plaoe for bim."
