to HALSTEAD'S PADDY'S RUN PAPERS Murat Halstead's First View of the Outside World WONDERS OF CINCINNATI Journeys to the City With a Load of Produce—An Evening in Elysium. He Meets a Bad Man i vn. f -fCOyyright, 1805, by Marat Halstead. ] i Great preparations were being made by I my father to go out to our great city with marketing. Tbe first thing was to butcher a aboat and a couple of calves. A largo number of turkeys and chickens were torn from their roosts, fluttering and vocifer ous, and were killed and cleaned. Some ot tho gobblers and roosters were my friends. A flock of quail and a largo bas ket of eggs wore added. There were some bags of corn and potatoes. The whole as sortment was not a load, but justa"jag." I had noticed my mother busy over my beat clothes, and thero was a new jacket Of importance that had been hurriedly fin ished. "Would you like to go to Cincin nati with your father!"' was a question! that was put to me, as if accidentally, tho Horning of the start of the expedition. Would I like to go? Would a hungry boy like tried chicken and custard pie? Would • boy kindly consent to wear a now pair of boots? I concluded to go. And when we turned to the loft at the crossroads and crossed "tho run" a now world opened. -If Columbus had any more thrilling expe ctances, it is a wonder they did not wear out his mind. When wo had been under way 1 J< hours, we struok a town, but father said it was not Cincinnati, but Venice, and then wo turned due south, and presently I said to father, "Isn't tho road going right into a house?" And he said "No." It was a bridge over the Miami rivor, and that was tbe river where we caught the big fish. How did they catch tbe fish? Why, with TEMPTED BY A GOLD PEN. aots called seines and in traps made of laths nailed on logs. When tho Ash ran down stream in the fail, tbe water boing mnddy, tbo flsh flopped in on the laths, and tho water ran through and left them to be picked up, tbo trap sloping up so sharply they could not go over, and the water rushing so swiftly through a gate in a milldam tbey could not back out; and thero was tbe mystery of tbo fish all told. Wo were nearly all day getting to town, and our wagon was at last backed up to the sidewalk in "Lowermarkot." Wo did not stop at a tavern, for wo bad cold chick en and bread and butter and boiled bam and preserves of our own, and we bad hay and blankets in tbo wagon for a bed. I did not mean to go to sloop early, but did so and had a quiet night. In tho morning there was strange news. A dozen chickens bad been stolon from another wagon, and the thief, running with them, had been knocked down by my father, but had got away. Tho chickens, however, were scat tered when he fell and recovored by the owner. Thero was a man who came early In tbe morning with hot coffee to sell, and I got aoup of it and had a great breakfast. When we sold out, it appeared that I was to havo a new cloth cap and a pair of new bootsl Tho boots that seemed to fit mo— I and if therowaß anything tho matterwlth them they wero not too small—looked pretty woll, and tbo thought of thoso boots and tbo cap caused the long rido homo to j pass pleasantly, and I had groat news to tell from Clnolnnnti. Father had pointed out the great river that ran to Now Or- j leans. I had seen a steamboat. I had missed the museum bocause I was asleep all night, nnd thero was no timo to go in daylight. I saw drug stores with big bot tles in tho windows. I saw dond cattlo hanging in rows by their hind legs. I cvon saw a wooden Indian with a tomahawk in his hand at tho door of a house, and a stuffed bear, and there wore rows of houses miles long and crowds and crowds of peo plo, and no onosoemed to caro whether he spoke to you or not. When peoplo talked about Cincinnati, I knew what they meant. I had been thero. I knew whoro tho Brighton Houso was and where tbo EteainboatH were tied up and wheru the lowor market was. Humors reached us occasionally of very successful I men In tho town who had gono from tho country. Ono young man got $50 a month for work at tho Brighton Houso, but when it camo out that he was tho barkeepor thero was not so much cheer about him. Another young man was said by his sis ters to bo tho "head soup boiler in a great faotory, "and ho had plenty of monoy, but ■hat did not impress me, for I had smelt a soap factory as I was coming out of town. Thore was a young man from tho lower Dry Fork who had been sitting up nights "reading law," they said, until at last he read so much ho "passed as a lawyer," so they said, and ho bud gone to Cincinnati and was a lawyer, and, they added, he had so much business ho was getting rich, t,nd he had been a poor country boy like the lest of ua. Tho next.thing ho was a can didote for on office, with a salary of $12,000 a year, and was nearly elected, and tho next time tbo election came around ho got the offloel Tho lawyer story was hard to believe, but it turned out true. And there Was a boy I knew whose father told my father he was in a storo and was paid $10 every Saturday night, and it appeared ■trange that ho could dosomothing to gain all tbat money. It was clear that Cincin nati was the place to go, right on the road as it was to New Oilcans, which was the biggest plaoe in tho world. There was not any Chicago. St. Louis was out of tho way—that is, tho river that got the wator from our farm did not run right down to St. Louis, but it did run to New Orleans, and my father hud gono there on thi steamer I'lowboy when lie was a young man, and on the uppearance of yellow fever my father left N"ew Orleans. My father and mother concluded—l for kbit the year, Trot tbe month waa Novem ber, and the fall wheat was "put In"—to go to visit my mother's father and mother, who lived on Green's Fork, Wayne county, Ind. . They took a one horse wagon, leav ing tho heavy team and the market wagon at home—nlso myself, alone to watch things. They expected me to be anxious to go along, but I was not They won dered whether I would bo afraid alone at night In tho house, but I was not I had : been well taught that there was nothing to bo soared abas* » tbe dark. The truth was I had r>S^ns— deep, dark designs— and my parents were hardly out of sight, to bo gone ten days, when I began to pro pare for an independent market excursion to Cincinnati. I planned the whole thing carefully. First, I knocked the seed out of an enormous heap of mustard stalks that I had gathered on tbe barn floor. That was my private mustard. The labor of thrashing and cleaning tho seed was enor mous, nnd thero were nearly two bushels of it. It wnswhat people now call capital. Tho rumor was that dear mustard seed was worth $10 a bushel, but that turned out to be an exaggeration. I had also a quantity of nuts—hiokory nuts and wal nuts—about three bushels. I "hitched up j the horses" and patiently husked nil by myself our wagon bed full of yellow flint corn that had just got bard, but not dry, and thought it would be the better that way, and that tbo Cincinnati people knew what was good and would want it for broad. But tbat was a mistake. It was too green for tho best prico. Then come somo trouble I had not anticipated with tho wagon bows, but the cover was all right. I feared rain on the corn and justly end while I made a night march to get a correct wagon bow thnt I knew a man had in a shod I covered the ears with corn stalks and put rails on them and stretched the cover over tho rails, and thus turned a smart shower tbat would havo depreciated the corn. With the aid of a Welsh girl on gaged for the occasion I killed 36 chick ens, and wo mustered four dozen eggs and ten pounds of butter. I had a long strug gle between showers to get tho wagon cov er adjusted, nnd when I had everything In tho wagon, including n dozen sheaves of oats in tho straw for the horses, tho team stalled on a bench of soft ground, and I bad to go half a mile to get a third horse to help pull out, and when that was done the rain began to fall, and I found one ot my horses had lost o shoe, and I had to stop an hour to got cne put on. But the blacksmith sympathized with me and hur ried the job, and so I concluded I did not want to die, after all. I arrived at the Temperance tavern, on Seventh and Western row, Cincinnati, in time for a lato supper and to go to tho museum after I had taken care of the . horses. And that museum was a wonder ful place. Tho crowning glory of it was tbe Infernal regions constructed by Hiram Bowers, tho famous soulptor. This was the most famous show that ever was in Cincinnati. Down stairs they had the actual heads of two dissected murderers in jars of alcohol, and the ropes with which they were hanged; also the bloody ax with whiob a man killed his wife and children; and a group of wax figures, with the reai clothing, showing how the murder was dona I had a most Instructive night and have seldom known time to pass so quick ly. I never had beon to the theater, and tbe remembrance of that astouuding mu seum—that supper of .errors that did not scare, but exhausted —was about all I could carry. I had to sleep in a room with half a dozen beds in it and was glad to find overythlng safe in the wagon nnd was early to Sixth stroot markot. I sold tho butter, chickens, eggs nnd nuts first nnd then the mustard seed and at last tho corn. This was all done before 11 o'clock. My policy was to take all tho money home, but I was tempted to buy n gold pen from a gentleman who offered to let me havo it, as he bad to sell it, for 75 cents. 'It may havo cost him 5 cents, but I doubt it, though ho gave mo bis address and said tho pen was puro gold. He was a bad man. I also bought a book forll that was worth it. The empty wngon was cheerless on the way home. Tho rain was incessant and cold, and tho horses had to be handled to humor them. I do not know how they could have reached homo if they had not known they wero going there and had not become zeal ous. I was nevor better satisfied with my self than when tho horses were snug in our stables and fed. I got into my own bed, after filling myself with milk, and with $40 under ray pillow was asleep as soon as I got warm. My unauthorized expe dition was a surprise to the neighbors and moro than a surpriso to my father and mother. But I had not got killed or robbed or killed the horses or had a chill, and I turned over tho monoy so cheerfully, and it was so largo a sum, that I was allowed enough of it to buy a littlo cose of survey or's instruments and a dictionary.

Liko the regular return of tho pendu lum, tho French moved back again and confronted tho Austrian centor that very night, but now with every company in line and Bonaparte at their head. A portion of tho onemy, about 88,000 in number, had reached Lonato, hastening to tho sup port of Quasdanowich. Wurmser had lost a day beforo Mantua. A socond timo the hurrying French ongaged their foe almost on tho same field. A second time tbey %voro easily victorious. In fact, so terrible was this second defoat that tho scattered bands of Austrians wandered aimlessly about in ignorance of their way. Ono of them, 4,000 strong, reaching Lonato, found it almost abandoned by tho French, Bonaparte and his staff, with but 1,200 men, being left behind. A herald, blindfolded, as was then tho custom, was at oneo dispatched to summon tho French commander to surrender to tbo superior Austrian force.

MY COUSIN MARY. It was my sad fortune from earliest boy hood up to be a failure in all ways. I " as not so handsomo as could have been expected in tho son of my beautiful moth er and the young father who died before I was born, and who was also beautiful, I was told. I was not brilliant, though both sides of tho house showed men and women of excellent ability, and, worst ot nil, I was not good, though this puzzled me not a little as n child, for my inten tions were of a magnificent order and the resultant behavior not nearly so repre hensible ns that of many boys I knew less punishud. But in somo way tho things I meant to do failed of accomplishment or were found when accomplished to havo most unhappy consequences, nnd tho things I did under pressure of discipline wore seldom satis factory. Years of reproof and often overheard complaint as to my trying disposition finally convinced me of my unworthine&s, nnd in titno I grow to look at my life as a fniluro, merely an opportunity for as much self indulgence as could be procured without too groat expense. Being of a lazy and luxurious disposi tion, I early fell into the habit of dorlving an inoxhnustiblo fund of pleasuro from mere imagination of what things might be, to console myself for my ineffectual struggle to make them such. As a little boy I was sent to bed with military pre cision by my inflexible mother, usually with a sense of failure nnd ill doing in the day behind mo, and I used to lio mute and still in my little chamber and make up to myself in royal bursts of Imagina tion for tbe disappointments of tho real lifo. How often, so laid and thought to be sound asleep, I havo* In spirit not only established my pre-eminent virtues by a series of noblo acts, so easy to imagine, so difficult to perform in tho gray irksomo ness of everyday lifo, but besides this havo I glutted my infant soul with the sweet vengeance of magnanimity, arranging unparalleled donations and privileges to bo conferred by mo, me the lamentable and unworthy son, upon my grateful fam ily and friends. One sweetest joy of these fair dreams was that when I should bo a man my Cousin Mary, who disliked me for tho disagreeable boy I was, should lovo and marry me. It was a sore problem with me in those days to decide whether I should indeed re ceive tho open gratitude of my beneficia ries, reveling gloriously therein, or wheth er, proudest height of power concealed, I should bostow all benefits in secret, and yet remain, condemned and criticised by the unwitting recipients of my bounty. But my Cousin Mary in these dreams al ways loved mo for myself, and then, after ward, ah, tho jewols I showered upon herl "'his habit of internally satisfying_niy- How the City Man Gets Rest.

BEST MADE IN THE WORLD ALL OTHERS ARE IMITATIONS •elf, of paying back in trramphant mag nanimity for all "thestings and arrows ot outrageous fortune" continued with me as I grew and remained my bast consola tion after I had become an unaspiring re porter on a great newspaper. And still in my solitary chamber down town, when I was not so tired as to sleep perforce in what hours remained to me, I would con sole myself for all the mortifications of tho day and of all other days in my unhappy memory by proud, unhampered visions of what I would do under given conditions of wealth and power. Splendid conditions these, so easily im agined, fitting so smoothly to my shoul ders as I planned and adapted them, but, ah, so laughably impossible of attainment! And then, all at once, by a chance no strangor, to bo sun, than many a one I was in the daily habit of recording, there fell into my hands, not talent and beauty and power indeed, as I had demanded in my boyish dreams, but wealth practically unbounded, such wealth as I could never of myself have earned or won or found, or in any least or faintest way deserved. To bo sure, I had boon laying myself out on the old fellow, as I should never havo dared to do had I known him for a mil lionaire, but that was not from benevo lence, but a purely selfish appreciation of bis boundless fund of travel and experi ence. His soolety was worth money to me besides the pleasure ot it, and therefore did I court him assiduously, with many an entertainment and excursion, which again were no oredit to my generosity, for had I not tho Interminable tiokets aud passes and the duty ot going to all those weary things, a duty much lightened by tho society of tho lounging, invalid old gentleman, whom I supposed no richer than myself. I told him my story, such as it was, and am fain to think thnt some subtlo sympathy, some consciousness of a similar experience in his own boyhood, made him take more of an interest than I then sus pected in this poor series of failures I called my life. Then be died very suddenly and serene ly, leaving mo some unbelievable millions, and as no ono but his solicitor knew that hn bad any money so no ono knew tbat I had any, and behold mo forthwith in ex actly the position of my ohildish heart's deal Eel What joyl What wild, free rapturo of plans, with occasional bursts of fancy which even I dismissed as quite untenable. For instance, I had no longer any faintest hope of marrying my Cousin Mary. Sho : was quite taken up with another cousin, Fred by name, nnd would have married him long since no doubt had he beon ablo to support a family. But ho was proud and would not marry until he could offer something to his wife. I knew that, for ho had told me so. However, it was now my delicious fate to be ablo to arrange matters for these two so that they should be able to marry, neither knowing how it had come about nor in the least oorner of their hearts sus pecting me. Then with what swelling pride should I look upon their happiness and know that I had given it—l who sc far had given only trouble and mortifica tion to my family! It was an easy matter to make my mother's last years comfortable, and, ah I the pleasure, the selfish pride I took in remembering small personal wishes and gratifying them bit by bit, while never suspected I It was an easy matter, too, through my agent, to buy the very paper on which I write, to slowly dismiss tho men who were a disgrace to it, to promote and ongngo men whose work made it a great voico soon, and through it 6lowly to win tho public confidence and work my will little by little among the affairs of tho city. Such a splendid gamo it was to arnuso public enthusiasm over somo froo baths or children's playground scheme or other, to start subscription lists and covertly head thorn mysolf, to machinate safely and quietly throneh my great pages, and all the while having my copy refused half the time, and, the other fellows wondering bow I kept my place. All this and much more was easy and exciting, more of a triumph and a Joy even than I had over Imagined It would be, but my pet scheme of schemes hung nre a lit tle Fred got his new position In a per fectly natural manner. He was a good fel low and dosorved It Still there waa no sign of an engagement between him and my Cousin Mary. Then I thought, being an Independent girl, she might be waiting to have something of her own, and aftor as protty a bit of finesse as I ever saw In my life, if it was ray own Invention—and small wonder, for had I not schemed at such pleasant miracles since I was 8 years oldf—l managed to provide her with a neat little fortune of her own. Still no re sult. So ono day, when I was at home—l did not go often, for mother would always lecture me on my habits, and somehow I never could ontirely get ovor the hurt of It, big as I was—l chanced to be alone with my Cousin Mary for as much of an evening ns she would be willing to bear my com pany. I felt very happy to see how beautifully sho was dressed in theso days, how her hands were whlto already and grown smooth again where tbo delicate fingers used to be rough with countless needle pricks. Tho houso was a comfortable one now, my mother was far easier in hor mind and therefore a sweeter companion. Everything looked pleasant around Mary, and I told her how glad I waa to Geo it. I did not toll her how glad I was to see hor, how tn all tbo rich and varied joy of my present position, as in all tbo unutter able weariness and dullness of my formor state, to see her was tho keenest delight I over felt or over hoped to feel. Calm, strong beautiful woman that she was; perfect in loveliness of faoo and form and character, mine would be a poor triumph, nftor all, if I could not contrivo to make her happy. I sot watching her, and sho watched tbo leaping flames of tho Arc, and I wondered clumsily in what possible way I could forco her into the happiness which should bo hers, when all at once she roso and coma to lny side. "Cousin Tom," she said In that deli cious voice of hors. "Why don't you amount to more, why don't you do your self justice in some way? Is it" —and here she blushed beautifully, but tho cousin ship gnvo her courage, and she went On — "is it for lack of money to make a start with? Because, you know, I am quite rich now, because I want you to let mo— you'll forglvo my awkwardness, won't you?—to let mo give you some of it, Tom, a whole pile of It." Tbat blessed, generous, self forgetting creature! She looked so lovely as she said it that my poor brain swam dizzily. "No," said I at length, "it is not lack of money, my dear Cousin Mary, but sheer personal Incapacity that prevents my amounting to anything. lam an or dinary, stupid follow at best, and my fnm lly are too clear headed to give me that blind loving faith wbioh makes even stupid fellows do very well sometimes." "You ore not stupid," sbe cried, "nor ordinary—l know you better than you think. You could be something splendid if you ohoso. Why don't you choose?" And then she looked at me with such an oarnest, tender, believing glance as fairly drovo mo to her feot. "Oh, Mary, you blessed angel!" I cried to her. "Could you—would you—is it pos sible that you, after all, oan find it in your swoet heart to make a place for such a useless good for nothing as I?" And then my Cousin Mary just oamo into my arms and comforted my sore heart witli a thousand tender words of hopo and faith. And sho said the sweet est joy of joys to her was that now sbe was roally ablo to help me with herpreo lous llttlo fortune And since she values it so much I bnve let her help mo with it always.
