A DREAM.
WH. ALLIKGHAM.
I heard a dog howl in the moonlight night,
And I went to the window to see the sight;
'All the dead that erer I knew
Going one by one, and two by two,
On they pamed, and on they passed;
Townsfellowa all, from first to last;
Bonn in the moonlight of the lane,
And quenched in the heavy shadow again.
Schoolmates, marching as when we played
At soldiers once, but now mure staid;
Those were the strangest sight to me
Who were drowned, I knew, in the awful sea.
Straight and handsome folks, bent and weak,
too;
And some that I loved and gasped to speak to;
Some but a day in their churchyard bed,
And some that I had not known were dead.
A long, long crowd, where each seemed
lonely,
And yet of them all there was one, one only,
That raised a head or looked my way,
And she seemed to linger, but might not stay.
On, on, moving brigde they made
Across the moon stream, from shade to shade;
Younz and old. women and men:
Many long forgot, but remembered theu.
And first there came a bitter laughter,
And a sound of tears a moment after;
Ani then a mnsic, softly and gay.
That every morning, day by day,
I strive to recall it if I may.
OLD roPPLK WELL'S WILL.
It was a great shock to the feelings of
Mr. Silas Popplewell to discover that his
father had bequeathed a legacy of 2000
to his house-keeper, a certain Mrs. Dray-
cott. The woman had entered tne oia
man's service only about a year before
his death, and if there had been any
thing remarkable in her demeanor
toward him, it consisted rather of scant
courtesy and want of attention. She
had never apparently made the slightest
attempt to inerratiate herself with her
master, who, on his part, had always
seernea to regam ins aiieuuuuj wnu
calm indifference. But Silas felt doubly
aggrieved because his father had scrupu
lously concealed from him that he had
made a will, leaving him to believe that
he was bound to inherit everything as
next to an heir-at-law.
Silas Popplewell came across the will
quite unexpectedly while going through
the old man's papers a few hours after
his decease. The document appeared to
be perfectly legal, and had evidently
been prepared by a solicitor, whose
name was appended as one of the wit
nesses to the testator's signature. Ex
cept the legacy of the house-keeper, it
left everything to Silas Popplewell and
appointed him sole executor. Consider
ing that old Joseph Popplewell was re
puted to be a wealthy man, most persons
in Silas' position would not have suf
fered the unexpected legacy to disturb
their equanimity. But Silas Popple
well was one of those mean, r grasping,
avaricious individuals who cannot bear
the thought of losing anything. Ha
considered he was both legally and
morally entitled to the whole of his
fofVinr'o Trrtnortw Ian J to crard Oil tlm
i 1 - il J A. Z LI.
legacy to Mrs. Draycott as a fraud upon
his just rights. He was, therefore, over
whelmed with rage and disappointment,
and worked himself into a perfect fever
of virtuous indignation.
In the midst of his tribulations, it sud
denly occurred to him that but for the
sheet of paper which he held in his hand
he would be a richer man by two thou
sand pounds sterling. -This eminently
practical view of the situation aroused
his worst passions, and he soon found
himself wondering what would probably
happen if the will were not forthcoming.
Supposing for instance, he were to leave
the document where he found it and say
nothing to anybody! The chances were,
he thought, that the house-keeper would
believe the testator had revoked it, as
suming she had ever been aware of its
existence; while it was quite possible,
considering his late father's habitual
reticence concerning his affairs, that the
woman suspected nothing. If the worst
happened, and ahue and cry were raised,
the will could be conveniently found; or
be were to declare boldly that his father
had deliberately destroyed the will in
his presence?
Such insidious reflections as these are
apt to blunt a man's moral perceptions,
especially when he is laboring - under a
keen sense of injustice. Silas Popple
well's standard of morality was not a high
one, and he would any day sooner
have done a shabby trick than to
lose a sixpence. The consequence
was that after a very little hesitation
he yielded to an uncontrallable impulse,
and consigned the obnoxious will to the
flames.
When the paper was reduced to ashes,
Silas suddenly awoke to the fact that he
had committed a felony and rendered
himself liable to penal servitude. He
turned deadly pale when he thought of
this disagreeable contingency, and for
a moment was inclined to repent of what
he had done. But when he reflected
that his wicked act had not been wit
nessed by any mortal eye3, while the
only evidence of his guilt the charred
papers was rapidly disappearing up
the chimney, he soon recovered his
spirits. Having waited patiently until
there was no longer any trace left even
of the ashes of the will, he locked up the
strong box in which he had found it and
left the room, feeling tolerably easy in
hie mind.
Nothing occurred during the next few
days to arouse Silas Popplewell's appre
hensions, and as he was not troubled
with a conscience he began to congratu
late himself upon the decisive step he
toad taken. The housekeeper went
about her duties as usual, and did not
seem to trouble her head whether
her master had left a will or not, from
which Silaa gathered with heart-felt sat -isf
action that she knew nothing about
her legacy. He could Dot refrain, how
ever, from watching her furtively,
VnncoinrT wViftt, h(. did of his father's in
tentions towards her. She was a vul
crar ' illiterate, elderlv woman, sinrrn-
KJ w -
larly devoid of personal attraction, and
apparently not possessed of much in
telligence. While striving in vain to
account for his father's extraordinary
predilection for her as manifested by his
will, oiias was strnoK by an expression
of determination on the woman's face
which seemed to indicate a desperate
character. He began to suspect that
she had forged the will by the aid of ac
complices, and was waiting with dim
ness the issue of her machinations. If
go, she was doomed to disappointment,
thought Silas, and he chuckled at the
notion of having frustrated such an in
famous scheme. i
When the dav of the funeral arrived
Silas felt strangely nervous and uncom
fortable. He was very much upaet by
the unexpected number of mourners,
the mere fact of having to provide gloves
aod crape on such an extended scale be
ing sufficient to cause him serious vexa
tion. Old Joseph Popple well was a
man of very humble origin, having, in
fact, commenced life as a common la
borer, and Silas scarcely knew any of his
father's relatives. Several of these
turned up, however, without being in
vited, and Silas resented: their presence
very much, not only because he was not
anxiousjto claim kinship' with them, but
because they would no doubt make par
ticular inquiries about the destination
of the old man's property.
It is to be feared that Silas suffered
his mind to wander a good deal from his
old father's obsequies.
He may have had a soft corner in his
heart for the old man's memory, but
nervousness and apprehension rendered
it inaccessible on this occasion. Tne
solemn words of the burial service fell
unheeded on his ear, for his mind was
disturbed by the prospect of having to
explain to his relatives that his father
had died intestate. His newly discovered
kindsmen were a painfully vulgar and
coarse-minded set, and several frag
ments of conversation referring to his
father's supposed testamentary intentions
had reached him. The idea that the old
man had left a will had seemed as general
as me extravagant notion that each la-
dividual mourner had been named in it.
Though he was guiltless as far as they
were all concerned Silas Popplewell,
being agitated and unnerved, shrank
from the task of answering their in
quiries; while he was seized with sudden
terror lest the housekeeper should
take the opportunity to icive utterance
to unpleasant suspicion. )
When the mourners returned to the
house, Mrs. Draycott was standing by
tne lire-place in the sitting room con
versing with a prim.professional-looking
gentleman, who, on perceiving bilas,
advanced to meet him', rubbing his
hands. I
"Mr. Popplewell, I believe," he said,
with a slight bow. j
"Yes," replied Silas, uneasily.
'You will doubtlessj know my name
when 1 mention it, replied the other;
"I am Mr. Reeves, of Gray's Inn
Square." i
Silas turned very white and his kness
trembled for Mr. Beeves yr&s the solicitor
who had witnessed the execution of his
father's will. I
"I I beg
teringly; "I
mistake. I
your pardon," he said fal
thmK there must be some
have not the pleasure of
your acquaintance. j
'i imagined your housekeepei wrote
to me by your instructions," said the
solicitor, slightly embarrassed and
glancing at Mrs. Draycott.
"I wrote because the late Mr. Popple
well told me to in case you did not,'
said the woman, looking towards Silas,
defiantly. "He wished the will to be
read at the funeral." j
"Will! what will?" exclaimed Silas,
with feigned surprise;! and then he
added, as though bracing his nerves for
the ordeal: "Pray be seated, gentlemen,
and take a glass of wine and a biscuit.
Each person selected a chair and sub
sided into it with a good deal of shuffling
of feet and coughing, but no one ac
cepted the proffered hospitality. The
dead silence which ensued indicated
breathless interest and excitement.
"My father has left no will," assever
ated Silas, taking up his position on
the hearth-rug and endeavored to speak
calmly.
"I think
you
are mistaken, Mr. Pop-
plewell," said Mr. Reeve9, politely, but
firmly: "Your father executed a will in
my presence which I prepared for him
about a year ago. He certainly has left
a will unless, of course, he has de
stroyed or otherwise revoked it."
"The will is locked up' in the iron box
in the study,"- interposed. Mrs. Draycott,
with decision. (
"I repeat that my father has left no
will," cried Silas, angiily. "Any one is
at liberty to search the iron box if he
likes. As Mr. Reeves suggests, my
father destroyed the willi"
"I don't believe it," exclaimed the
housekeeper, excitedly. j "Why, I saw
it with my own eyes not a month ago."
"When did he destroy it? Wno seed
Mm do it?" inquired a voice from among
the mourners. j
"He destroyed it in my presenco last
let me see last Thursday week. I
fetched it at his request from the iron
box, and he put it in the. fire of his own
free will," said Silas, lying glibly.
Though affecting to (recall the date
promiscuously, Silas had been careful to
prepare this story beforehand. On the
day named he had sat with his father
alone for more than an hour during the
afternoon while Mrs. Draycott had been
sent out on an errand. If the deceased
had intended to destroy the will he would
probably have got the woman out of the
way on a similar pretence, and the sug
gestion was plausible j enough. The
housekeeper gave a palpable start, and
was evidently impressed by the coincid
ence, but among the rest of the audience
there was a general expression of in
credulity, with a good deal of head
shaking and some murmurs.
"Well, gentlemen, I; must say that
Mr. Popplewell's account is perfectly
straightforward, interposed the lawyer,
who, whatever his private opinions
might have been, probably thought it
prudent as a matter of business to side
with Silas. "Testators j frequently re
voke their wills in the manner de
scribed. If it is any consolation to you,
gentlemen, I may mention that as far as
you are concerned the existence of the
will would have made no difference to
you."
"Will you tell us, Mr.? Lawyer, who
will get the money, suppo8i:ag what Mr.
Silas says is true," inquired a voice in an
aggrieved tone. j
"Mr. Popplewell will inherit every
thing as next-6f kin and heir-at-law," re
plied the lawyer. j
This information elicited a loud cho
rus of indignation, and many insulting
epithets were leveled at the head of the
lnckless Silas, who, pale and trembling,
realized that his triumph was dearly
bought, even at the price of 2000. Sud
denly the strident tones of Mrs. Dray
cott became audible above the uproar,
and compelled attention
"The old villain has broke faith me,
and a sneaking scoundrel he always was,
and so he died," cried she, speaking un
uer strong excitement. "JJut I'm no
longer bound to keep his secret, and
won t. I say, Bill Allen!" she exclaimed,
appealing to one of the mourners, "you
ought to know me, though it's thirty
years ana more since l was supposed to
have died. You recollect Poll Saunders
that old Joe Popplewell married when
he was working at the railway down
jjiverpoot way?
"Why, surely!" ejaculated the indi
vidual referred to. "Aye, it's Poll, sure
enough!" he added, shadinghis eyes with
his nana.
"I was his lawful wife, Mr. Beeves,
and he knew it, she explained, turning
to the astonished solicitor. "He de
serted me years ago and married a lady
Mr. Silas' mother. I found him out
again by accident quite recently, and
promised to keep his secret on condition
that he would provide for me by his will.
liui ne nas Deen xaise to me as' he was
years ago, and now I won't keep silence
any longer."
"This is most serious," said the solici
tor, turning to Silas, who stood aghast
with horror and amazement, "if this
this lady can prove her marriage."
"Oh! I have proofs. I took care of
that," interposed the "soi-disant" Mrs.
Draycott, drawing an oblong slip of
paper from her bosom and handing it to
the lawyer. "Bead that and look at what
I made him sign on the back."
"It is a marriage certificate," said Mr.
Beeves, glancing at it; and turning it
over he read aloud as follows:
I, Joseph Popplewell, do acknowledge
that my housekeeper, Mrs. Draycott, is
my lawful wife, which I married under
the name of Mary Saunders in 18 , and
I, Mary Popplewell, or Draycott, do
hereby swear that if mv husband.
Joseph Popplewell, leaves me 2000 by
his will, I will keep his marriage
secret.
"This extraordinary document pur
ports to be signed by both parties,"
adde 1 the lawyer, handling the paper
reverently, "and I must say that upon
the face of it, taken in conjunction with
the certificate, it appears to be incon
testible evidence."
"Who gets the money now, then?" de
manded the same person wno had asked
the question before.
"Well, gentlemen, I am sorry to say
that Mr. Silas Popplewell being unfor
tunately for himself, 'nullins films, or
illegitimate, can inherit nothing," re
plied Mr. Beeves. "The estate will,
therefore, be divided between the lawful
widow of the deceased and his next of
kin, according to the statute."
The excitement of the audience at this
announcement found vent in a hoarse
cheer, in the midst of which poor Silas
sank into a chair in a half fainting condi
tion. He now understood too late, alas!
what had caused his father suddenly to
make a will, and he was also keenly con
scious of the fact that having borne wit
ness to its alleged revocation, it was ont
of the question to endeavor to set it up
again, ne was aroused from his bitter
reflections by the touch of the house
keeper upon his shoulder.
(Jheer up, my lad, she said roughly.
but not unkindly. "I did not know it
would be so bad for you as this, and I
don't pity you less because I suspect
you've brought it on yourself. Now, I
'Won't make any rash promise, because I
don t know how much money 1 m going
to get. But you shall have the 2000
you grudged to me, even it 1 don t re
ceive a farthing more.

Eyebrows fcevred 1o tbe Skin.
At a certain factory yesterday a num
ber ot young women were woricing at a
small table, each table covered with
small instruments and things, the likes
of which I had never seen before. At
one table two girls were threading nee-
dies with tine, silky hair, and sewing
them in little squares on thin, transpar
ent gauze.
"Those girls," said the professor, "are
making some of those beautiful arched
eyebrows you may some time see in ball
rooms. These sewed on the net are the
less expensive kind, and are only used
on special occasions. Tne real brow is
very expensive, and can only be made by
a person of great skill." I begged him
to explain the operation of giving a per
son eyebrows who was born without
them, and, leading me into an elegantly
furnished parlor in which was a largo
dentist s chair, he continued:
"The patient sits here. In this cush
ion to my left are stuck a score or so of
those needles vou saw being threaded.
Each stitch onlv leaving two strands of
hair, to facilitate the operation a num
ber of needles must be at hand.
As each thread of Lair is drawn
through the skin over the
eye it is cut so that when the first stage
of the operation is over it leaves the
hairs bristling out an inch or so, pre
senting a ragged, porcupmo appearance.
Now comes the artistic work. The brows
must be arched and cut down with the
utmost delicacy, and a number of hours
is required to do it."
"It must be very painful and tedi
ous?"
They don t say that it is a picnic ex
cursion, laughed the Professor, "but
eye-brows, small as they are, are very
important in the make-up of the face.
You have no idea how odd one looks
when ntterly denuded of hair over the
eves. Tne process l nave descri bed is
painful, but it makes good eye-brows
and adds one hundred per cent, to the
looks of a person who was without them.
It is, too, much better than the blacken
ing and cosmetics so many people use,
especially people who have mere pres
ence of brows comprising only a few
hairs."
"Do your sewed-throug-tho-skin eye
brows last?"
"For years."
Meissoner is said to be a vain man.
Anvbody who can paint a picture six
inches long that will sell for $8000 has
perfect right to all the vanity he wants.
When somebody asked "Ben" Wade
how he liked H. W. Beecher, he said:
"D Beecher; he has knocked hell
out of religion, and religion without hell
is no better than pork without salt."
