The Painter's Story.
My father wss s country gentleman
with ft Urge family, but n tolerable
estate. 1 wss ths youngest tori. My
eldest brother wss to be my father's
sncceoenr and tko sitters were hand
souasiy sLsrled in tbt world in differ
ent professions. As for tue, nobody
seemed te think what was to be my
lot ; I was my ther'e pet, and that
wss sufficient. I wss sot the strong
est hoy in the world, snd no my idle
ness, ss Lbey called if, was forgiven
er unheeded.
One day my father called me into
s lihi
n to
library snd told me of his intcn
send me to school a long way
efX This iuteiligeoce was anything
but pleasing, sud the time to leave 1
my heme broke painfully upon nse. j
thought theo, on purling witb my
mother, that my heart would break.
I went, and I never saw ber more.
Seme times even now the memory of
ber dear face comes back to me in
my manhood, nnd I wish (but ; were
a boy Kgaio.
After my mother's death 1 seldom
went home for tbe holidays ; indeed,
the place seemed so much changed I
should net bsve cared to do so bad
V inclination been consulted. Five
years passed away, nnd ray edu
cation was completed, sod then I re
turned to the old hall. My father
was now almost confined entirely to
hla room ; my oldest brother wss de
voted to field sponsand tbe others
were out ia tbe world. They nover
spoke of any pursuit for me, and
snd when I named tbe suhject they
avoided it.
At length my father died, and
then it was discovered that the prop
erty was a mere wreck and such as
remained descended wholly to tbe
eldest son. A month afterward I
found myself with twenty guineas in
my pocket, but without a profession,
and almost without a friend, in fur
nished lodgings, in tho busy city.
Despite tbe apparent frowns of For
tune, a buoysnt spirit ef hope sus
tained tne. I hud hitherto cultivated
the practice of uiy pencil for pleasure
only ; I bow looked te it as a means
of living. I advertised in the daily
papers, and taught drawing and per
spectivo.
Ooe of my first pupils was Laura
Temple She was the daughter of a
wealthy merchant. I saw ber three
times a week. Sao took that number
of lessons. But, O, If my eyes had
but once encountered iter's, I shonld
have loved her still forever.
Hor features, cast in classic mould,
hor face almost ss pale as Parian
marble, ber rich, brown hair, drawn
back ia Grecian baods,and her large
hazel eyes full of love and tenderness
and spmpathy with all the world,
she seemed "a very -form to idolize
and love."
I bad many difficulties n?w to en
counter, as who, without patronage
or moans, making art or literature a
profession, has not ? But the great
est trial of all was braving continual
attendance on tbo beautiful Laura,
and withholding the secret of my
heart.

Two yosrs rolled by, and I was

independent. It is true I was often
pressed for the exigencies of tho m
msnt, and my best sketches were
sold to tho desters for the most tri
fling sums ; but I still toiled on
still hoped on. Though my sanguine
teuifterament was mre Aobdued now
than it used to !. I eould not for

I wos palutingous morning in my

A moment only, ami the blood

1 do not know whut I said, but I

to gire utterance to the sympathy 1

"My poor father's loss is not the

continued she, "died suddenly, and

If, as indeed I do not doubt, you are

It was fixed that tie picture should

of her as I had known her as a girl ;

I pictured hor as a bride ; I conjured

And yet two years had only paused
--two little years.
Alas ! why had tshc married that

was any bond of sympathy between

Besides, her father's fortune nnd
ber own position made the plea ab
surd, as Hty own knowledge of her
guileless, simple heart mtde it wick
ed. I made at least twenty (sketches,
till I had brought back the oid man's
features one by one, and theu I paint

was most like, and I touched and re
touched, and touched again, till I

She asked mo to her houso ths
one that had been hor father's to

lowing flay. Hho pressed something
into my hand and left the house. It
was a chock for a hundred guineas. 1

I recognised it immediately : but,
havlug looked upon it, my eyes
wandered to the f tlr fwrm beside mo,
and tny thoughts dwell on that
slrango union.
Mrs. slanvers .1 do not think I

I had no right to think thus. I
was wrong ; and I regretted it often

Tho body of Mrs. Lincoln lay peace
fully in the little room at ber sister's
house, and jost within the door lead
ing to the room wbete the msrrisge
n tnony wss performed which made
her the wife of ths martyr 1'iesident,
whose tomb, at Oak Ridge Cemetery,
is the Mecca of no many patriotic pil
grims. The curions uircums'ance of ths
courtship, tearriagc and death occurring
in the same h'juse, has already revived
some curious reminiscences. An old,
ltd time friend of Lincoln's saya tbs
story in some renpects is smusing ; in
others very sad. It is substantially this:
M si v Too-1 had a step-tuother at her
home in Lexington, Ky., with whom
she could not agree, snd conseqasotiy
she came, in 18.19, to live with her
sister in this city, the wife of Hen.
Niniin W Klwards. Mr Lincoln was
then rising In the legal profession, and
in the oIitical field he had no local
siqieriors. Miss Tedd wss sristocrst, a
Ken'uckian through and through, and
it became s common opinion among ths
neighbors that they would make s alen
did match. Soon Mine Todd came to
the same conclusion the neighbors bad
already reached. Stephen A. !ouglas
wss one of ber suitors a', this time, but
she oljected to his month, and said
that, at sny rate, she wanted to marry
some one who had a chance of being
President
Finslly, she and Uheots ere engag
ed and tlo-ir eMffings was understood
to he only a question of time, awaiting
the arrival of a convenient enasen,wben
a sister of Mr. Klwards came to pay
him s visit. She wss a confessed
beauty, and before long Lincoln was

Pigs that are ahut in pens daring

food. Weeds of any kind are good,
but pig-weed is best, and sweet corn

of all. The sweet in the earn stalks ia

The basket willow is a valuable crop,

well on low Jand tee wet for cultira

It is well te remember while clear
ing hoed crops of weeds that tbe
thoroughness with which this is done
affects at least three crops. It will
usually pay on either corn or potatoes
to clean tbe field of thistles, by the in
creased yield of that year's crop. Then
it will pay again in full on the oats or
barley following the hoed crop, and
again in the wheat following the bar
ley. Tbe wonder is that farmers
should ever leave tbe ground foul after
a hoed crop.

Fifteen years ago er thereabouts a
bright faced youngster "established
himself in business" aa be was fend ef
telling his customers on board tbe Ful
ton ferry boats. His business was sell
ing tbe morning snd evening papers.
In time he had a list of regular custom
ers who watted till they wero en tbe
boat to buy papers ef him. The
youngster's name was James Mason.
In those days Otis Field, well known
to New York billiard players, kept a
btllisrd room in the basement at tbe
northeast corner of Fulton and Nassau
streets. On tbe Nassaa street side be
bad tables for chess and draughts. The
newsboy had to pass ths plane tear
times a day, and, as tbe windows were
s O M mm
open in warm weather, could not iati
to see tbe chess games with their carv
ed men. One dav, while be was
watching tbs pieces witb boyish inter
est, an old gentleman at one of tbe
tables beckoned hire down stairs. He
had observed tbs bey's interest in tbe
game, and offered to teach bim tbe
moves. The boy learned the moves
very rapidly, and in a fen days was
able to cope with bis instructor. In n
fortnight be could give tbs eld gentle
msn the odds ef a queen and beat bim.
The "boy phenomenon" began to be
talked of. The best players that came
to Otis Field's were pitied against hint
and beaten. Finally, when be was
scarcely fifteen, young Masons fame
spread among tbe up-town players.
Within two years he improved so great
ly that none but the best players would
engage bim, and before he was twenty
his admirers were anxious te match
him against Capt If cK enzie, then tbe
acknowledged champion of New Yerk.
They played no public game, so far as
is known, but it is said that Mason
held his own witb McKenzie in friendly
encounters. In the recent great in
ternational chess tournament at Vienna
Mason came in third, ahead of McKen
zie, led only by the Austrian chtmpien
SteiniU, and tbe Pole, Winnenaner.
Fire engines of very rude com true
tion were in use in Holland as eerly ai
1518, bat it was net until 100 yeari
later that they were sumcieatly per
fected to be of any practical value.
