"With pleasure," was the reply.

"None in tho State on a better foot

"You rcccivo deposits, do vou not!"
"Yes, madam j wo arc rccttving them

"Do you receivo as high as as ten

"No," said the cashier, with some sur
priso ; "or, rather, wc elo not allow in

dollars in our limit. Did yott know of
any ono who"
"It is of no consequence," inhl the
widow, hurriedly ; "1 only asked for
curiosity. By tho May, did you say
how much interest you allowed on r,uch
deposits r.s cotno within your limit?'1
"Fivo per cent, madam."
'Thank yott. I only nskod for uiii

"Yes."
"Da yott know," ticked the cashier,
"whether sho had uny money left her

'vNbnc that I know of," raid th elder
pricking up his oars. "Why, did she
deposit nnyl''
"No ; but sho imiulrul whether we re
ceived deposits as high as ten thousand

"Indeed I" ejaculated tho elder. "Is
that nil she came fori" ho inqtiireil, a
moment uftervmid.
"No, she exchanged a got 1 pieco for

"Did Kim givo any reason for her in

Tho next Sunday th Widow Hayes
appeared at church in a new uud stylish
bonnet, which led to some such teuinrks
us these :
"How much vanity domo peoplo have,
to bo Rure"
"How a woman that 'lull to keep
hoarders for a living can nl.brtl to d.tsh
out iu such a. bonnet is more than 1 can
toll. I should think sho was old enough
to know better."
This l.iht remark waa 1:1. ila by n
young lady just bix months younger
than the widow, whoso attempting to
catch 11 Rccoutl liuslinnd had
proved utterly unavailing.
"I tiupposo," continued the i..'tne
young lady, "sho is trying to catch a .sec
ond husband with her tincry. Befote
and, to cat the matter thort, alio ac
cepted him. A month afterward sho
was installed mistress of the elder's largo
house, somewhat to the surprise of lho
village people, who could not conceive
how sho had brought him over. Some
weeks after tho ceremony, tho elder ven
tured lo inquire about tbo pot of gold
which sho had found in her cellar.
"Pot of gold I" sho exclaimed, in sur
prise j "I know of nono."
"But," said tho elder, disconcerted,
'you asked mo about whether tho law
could claim it."
"Oh, lor', elder, I only asked for curi
osity." "And was that tho reason you ntado
inquiries at tho bank V
"Certainly I What else could it bet"
Tlio elder" went out to the bnrn, nnd
for half un hour sat in silent medita
tion. At the end of that timo ho ejacu
lated, as u closing consideration :
"After all, sho makes 'ood mince
pie." It given 1110 p'o.iFUro to state that tho
union between tho elder nnd lho widow
proved a very luppy one, although to
tho end of his life he could novcr mnko
up his miml about the "Pot or Clold."

request was readily accorded. Arrived
at tho village, Mrs. Hayes desired to be
