A-FAIKY GODMOTHER.
Madame Dapont, -wrapped in a loose
, robe of some soft gray material, a faded
casb'mere shawl partly covering her, lay
. on the lounge before the bay window
that formed almost the entire front of
ner tiny cottage. Her large black eyes.
their brightness somewhat dimmed by
her long sickness, dwelt with dreamy
pleasure on the landscape spread before
her. (
It was a very common landscape, such
as can be seen in any country place on
anv summer day only a broad field,
wnite witu daisies among wnicn two or
three brown cows patiently sought for
tender blade3 of grass, with one tall,
fctout tree standing midway, solitary and
alone, and a background 'of dense tan
gled brushwood. To careless eyes, scarce
worth a careless glance; but to hers, so
long sunt out from sight of earth and
sky, a scene . most beautiful. The slen
der white wrinkled hands folded upon
her breast were yet too weak to hold
even one of her beloved books, and the
small feet etill lacked sufficient strength
to sustain the fiail body. But, thank
heaven! the cruel pain had gone, and in
its stead had come a blissful rest.
All through the fickle months of
spring, taking no heed whether they
smiled or wept, she had never raised her
weary head from the pillow.
And the snowdrops and crocuses and
scilisee and hyacinths and tulips bad
grown and budded and bloomed in her
little garden., and she, who had hoped to
watch them grow from the first green
leaf to the perfect blossom, had only
seen the few Viola had plucked and
brought to her bedside, where, seen
through a clcud of suffering, a shadow
had fallen upon their beauty.
And now it was the heart of June and
the roses, gay in every shade of pink,
climbing about the window, looked in;
and entreated her to come out. But no;
she could not hope to walk among the
flowers until the roses had faded and the
lilies had begun to reign. And perhaps
even this hope would not have been hers
had it not been for the love and care and
cheering words of Viola, the eldest
daughter of the big farmhouse. Kate,
the strong, rough Irish servant maid, was
kind and faithful in her way, but hers
- : .1 irt. . .1 1
she might have died; but Viola served
for love (she hail loved the pretty old
madame since first they met), and love
brings faith and hope and patience and
many other beautiful things.
For weeks the young girl came morn,
noon and eve, to stay an hour each time,
and her visits were the only gleam of
brightness that lightened the darkened
room. And many the wee loaf ol
whitest bread, and golden pat of butter,
and driDk of rich sweet milk, and a fresh
laid, pirk-tinted egg. she brought to
tempt the languid appetite; and many
the song she sang, soft and low, to woo
for the sick woman the angel of sleep.
And yet not only were they neither
kith nor kin, but she knew naught
of Aladame Dupont save that she had
built the four-room cottage the preced
ing spring, and had lived there since the
last July in the hu "blest way.
There was a large family at the farm
house, and much work to be done hard,
unlovely work, the very thought of
which often made the young girl, wak
ing in the gray morning from pleasant
droain, clasp her hands and cry out:
''Is this to le my life forever?"' And had
it not been for the glimpse of beauty she
caught about her homo - the far-off river
gleaming in the sunlight or moonlight,
the orchard trees white with bloAoms in
spring, and laden with fruit in summer
and autumn, the shady woods where
countless ehy wild flowers hid from
the glafe of the world, the songs of the
happy birds, and the grand sunsets be
hind the distant hills she would have
been heart-weary indeed. For she loved
evtry thing beautiful. And especially
did sho love music with all the tender
ness of a creator, as madame discovered
one day the day they first saw each
other; in fact, when Viola, coming on
some errand to the cottage, stopped, en
tranced' on the threshold of the door to
listen to the plaintive melody in a minor
key, feebly but beautifully played on the
old-fashioned upright piano.
"You love music? said madame, turn
ing slowly and confronting her.
"With all my heart," answered the
girl, the vivid flush that was ever ready
to appear flushing the fair, young face.
"You play?"
"A little a very little; but I have had
no piano for three years since my own
mother died."
"Let me hear you."
"Oh, madame, I dare not try after
you."
But the old lady rose and gently led
her to the instrument. There were two
or three keys entirely dumb, and the rest
were not in perfect tune, but the spirit
of music so guided the long slender fin
gers that they reprodnced the minor mel
ody madame had played so daintily en
wrapped in bird-like trills and rtppling
runs, that she, in turn, stood entranced.
"After me, indeed!" she said, as the
girl struck the last chord. "I had to
learn, but yon it is part of you. And
yon have no piano? Ah, that is sad.
Could I give you mine, it should be
yours. But it belonged to my dear hus
band, who died twenty years ago, and I
could not bear to part with it. He was a
Frenchman, and a professor of music. I
was an American girl, and one of his
pupils. When I married him I helped
him to teach others, and so came to be
called 'madame. We loved each other
very much. But I shall be glad, my
dear very glad to have you come here
and play as often as you will."
"Could I come as often as I would,"
said the girl, with a bright smile, "I am
afraid I should soon tire you. But I
will come as often as I can. And, oh,
madame" suddenly kissing the soft,
wrinkled cheek "I cannot tell you how
much I think of you!"
But the often proved very seldom, for
some of the summer boarders staid until
1 he end of October, and the butter had
to be churned and the fruit canned, and
the young sisters to be prepared each day
for school, and the twin boys nothing
to speak of in point of years, but perfect
Methuselabs in mischief to be looked
after from morning until night, aud win
ter wardrobes to be made, and a thousand
and one other things to be done. ;
And then madame fell sick, Jan d all the
fime'VioIa could spare she spent at her
bedside. "Time that had much better
be spent at home," scolded her step
mother, "for there's a servant there;
and one servant is enough to take care
of two such houses as that and their mis
tresses, too; sick or well. I have no
servant I"
"You have me," Viola could have re !
plied, "and no servant ever worked
harder or for less wages," bnt she set her
lips firmly together and said nothing.
But she rose earlier than ever thereafter,
that she might not leave undone the
slightest of her tasks, and thus merit no
reproach for the few hours each day -she
gave her dear old friend.
And now madame was getting well and
with the strength of her strong servant-
maid, could go from room to room; but
she, wa3 best satisfied as yet to be in the
wee parlor on the lounge before the big
window.
And hero Viola made her appearance
the day the roses were beckoning, with a
merry greeting, and a dish of luscious
strawberries smothered in cream; but in
spite of the merry greeting there was a
hint of a shadow on her bonny face that
did not escape madame's keen black
eves.
"Tell me about it, dear," she said, in
her sweet, trembling voice.
Viola knelt beside her.
"Yon must be a fairy, madame," she
said, "for none but a fairy could Lave
guessed that I was a little 6orry to-day .
And for such a trifling cause I'm ashamed
to epeak of it. Bat the old lady insist
ing with gentle persistance, she began:
'It la a ball I would like to go to, but
cannot. I have never been to a ball, and
this one you remember the young lady
who boarded at our house last summer
with her father and sister "
"And brother." suggested madame.
"And ner brother." repeated Viola;
never lowering her frank blue eyes, but
blushing from the tip of her round cum
to the curls shading ner lair Drow
"Well, she and I were good friends then,1
but I never draampd she would remem
ber me after she went away, for he she
I mean is rich, and I am poor, and our
wavs in life lie very, very far apart. But
she has not forgotten me. Sse, madame,1
here is an invitation to a ball to be given
on her nineteenth birthday at her aunt's
house, only a few miles away. And-
and her brother signs it too. He
writes a handsome hand, does he not.
madame?
"A strong, handsome hand, my dear,!
and he is a strong, manly fellow. I do
not forget the messages he URed to bring
me from you, and deliver with such
courtlv errace. You must go to the
ball."
"Oh. madame. it is impossible. I
could not go if it were to be the simplest
of parties, and it is to be a fancy dress.
I have nothmcr to wear, xou know the
crops failed last vear on account of the
drought. Bat what folly for me to Jet so
slight a thing distress me for a moment,
when all at home have health and
strength, and you are fast getting well?''
"For which we should be and no
doubt we are devoutly thankful." said
the old lady, "and all the more reasons
why you should go to the ball. You said
just dow I must be a fairy. I will prove
my right to the title by being a fairy
godmother. You did not know that my
name was Violet. Take the key you will
find under the clock on the mantle, aud
open the ottoman that stands yonder."
"Open the ottoman, madame?"
"Yes; it is c. simply a chest in disguise
and in it lies your ball dress."
The lid of the disguised chest was
raised, a long box was lifted out and
opened. An exclamation of delight
burst from Viola's lips. There is a satin
dress of dreamy whiteness. It unfolded
into a miracle of old-fashioned loveli
ness. Purple violets were scattered here
and there upon the scant skirt, as though
dropped from some careless hand, and
the puffed bleeves and short waist were
made of a wreath of amber-hued lace.
And then came a large quaint fan of
sandal wood and peacock feathers, a
necklace of pearls, a high tortoise-shell
comb, and a pair of satin shoes with low
flat heels and queer pointed toes.
"But you never mean that I should
wear these, madame," said Viola.
"That do I, most surely, said
madame, gayly. "I wore them, child,'
many years ago. And now another Violet
needs them. There is fate in it. And I
will put a spell upon them, and who
knows? they may help vou to win a
true lover as they did me."
"Bat the shoes, mudame they are too
small, I'm sure."
"Try them, my dear."
Viola slipped one on. "It binds across
the instep," raid she. :
lake the scissors and cut it, then."
'Oh, mademe, it would spoil it then."
"Do as I bid VOU. Futrv o-odmntlipr
must be obeyed. Now take the rosettes
still remaining in tha Imr anl faotan
one over each shoe to hide to damage
done."
And with the beautiful rosettes of satin
and lace, with a "V" encircled in seed
pearl in the center of each, hiding the
gaps the scissors had made, the ioilet
was complete.
And so Viola went to the ball not in a
fine carriage drawn by prancing .Bleeds,
but in her father's covered wagon.behind
the old farm horse. But when she ap
peared in the brilliantly lighted room it
was rather late, for the old horse traveled
slowly the creamy white satin dress
clinging to her slight graceful figure,
and pearls clustering around her smooth
throat, her golden hair wound about the
tortoise shell comb, her dimpled arms
and shoulders just showing through the
ancient lace, her innocent blue eyes
looking shyly over the quaint fan, and
her feet clad in the queer pointed shoes,
half hidden by the great rosetees the
gay crowd felt, some of them (the fair
maidens these) with bitter envy, that an
nnknown Princess of Beauty was among
them.
And the Prince of the reigning house
quickly followed his sister to welcome
her, leaving a Knight with diamonds
stars to sparkle for some faithful wor
shipper. And again and again he and
the unknown Princess danced together
until nearly daybreak, when, a servant
summoning her hastily for the farmer
father was tired of waiting she flew to
the dressing-room and one of the rosettes
bursting from its fastenings on the way,
away went the shoe it had helped to
hold in place, down, down through the
well of the winding staircase, to regions
far below.
And Viola, having the enchantment of
the night s.ill upon her, never missed it,
but hastily drawing on her stout boots,
ran to the old wagon, jumped in, and
drove away in the dim first light of the
morning from the Prince and Fairyland.
Bet when she awoke from the deep
sleep into which she sank as soon as she
reached her horn 3 the sun was on its
westward way she discovered the loss,
and while she was bewailing it the Prince
rang at the door.
"I have a slipper, or shoe, or some
thing of the kind," he said, taking it from
the breast pocket of his fur-trimmed coat,
"and as it will not fit either of my sis
ters, or my cousins, or any of the lady
friends who with them bide, I thought it
might fit you."
"It does not, really," said truthful
Viola, with her lovely blush, "I conld
not have worn it had it not been cut
open in the instep I have not aa aristo
cratic foot and that is how thSstitches
that held the friendly rosette giving way
1 came it lose it.
"That I. thank fortune! might find it.
And now, Viola, dearest
But what need of saving more? Y'ou
can all end the story for yourselves, I
am sure, even to guessing that madame
lived to be a hundred years old, and
never was fairy godmother so loved and
petted as she.
A tiood Story of a Horse
We recently published the story of a
horse whose rider was thrown and in
jured. The intelligent animal took in
the situation and trotted off, making such
demonstrations at the houso that people
followed him and rescued the rider, who
was unable to help himself. Mr. Hugh
McLellan, of this town, informed us that
the reading of the story brought to his
recollection an occurrence of his youth,
when living with his father in Gorham,
tnis state. xue iatner one evening
turned the family horse into a large pas
ture to feed during the night. In some
way (whether from an injury was never
known) the horse commenced to bleed
profusely from the nose. The animal re
turned to the bars which gave admission
to the pasture. These he broke down
and passed np to the farm-house. Here
he beat upon the platform of one of the
doors until the father was awakened and
went out to see what was the matter; he
found the horse still bleeding. Calling
the son (our informant), the two worked
over the horse until the bleeding was
airested, though he was so much reduced
as to be hardly able to stand. There was
quite a pool of blood at the door, and a
still larger pool was found in the morn
ing at the bars, where the horse had evi
dently been detained in his efforts to
escape from the pasture. And yet we
are told that animals don c reason. -Brunswick

Senator Manderson.
Comparisons which reflect npon the
membership of the Senate as at present
constituted, are not uncommon. Whether
just or not and it should be remem
bered that there is in human nature the
disposition to magnify the men and
things of the past the course of the
elections thus far indicates that while the
best men in the Senate of the present
Congress, with but few exceptions, will
be members of the next, the senators to
succeed those retiring or tailing of re
election, are, generally speaking, men of
the age, culture and antecedants which
promise the thorough, vigorons and
sagacious treatment of subjects for legis
lative action. This remark holds good
of both political parties, and is made
without the entirely unnecessary institu
tion of a comparison between the future
and the present Senate.
The senator-elect from Nebraska.
Charles F. Manderson. is an able man
and a bril!iact speaker. He was elected
on the seventeenth joint ballot as a Re
publican, and accepted the office in a
speech which has made an impression of
his excellent ability. The countrv may
expect to hear impressively from Senator
Manderson.
Ex-Empress Eugenie Hopeless.
Daring the short visit of Prince
Nupoleoa to ex-Empress Eugenie at
farnborougu, more than one enterpris
ing press correspondent tried bard to dis
cover exactly what wes coiner on. and
how long the Prince would remain there.
But strict orders had been given to the
servants, and not only was not one ad
mitted within the house, but no ques
tions of any kind were answered. Noth
ing can be more quiet and unostentatious
than the manner :n which Her Majesty
lives. Sho only leaves her apartments
to hear muss in her private chapel every
morning, and to join in the meals whiiih
she takes twice a day with the members
of her Leasehold. She inlends to build
new chapel close to her house, and
when it is fiuished the remaios of the late
Emperor and of the Prince Imperial will
be removed there from Chiselhurst. To
ssveral of those who have visited her the
ex-Empress has expressed her conviction
that the cause of imperialism 111 France
cannot be revived with any hone of suc
cess for a long time to come.

The spirit of the renowned old squat
ter still lingers in the land.
"Whicll road shall I take?" asked a
traveler who sat on the steps of a cross
road store.
'Which one do you want?"
"I intended to ask which one should I
take to lead me to the river?"
"Take your choice."
"Which one leads the river?"
"What river?"
"Why, the Arkansaw."
"You want to know which one leads
there?"
"Yea, sir."
"How long have you been in this
country?"
"That makes no difference, my friend.
I want to know something of the geogra
phy of this community."
"No, it makes no difference how long
you have been here, but there ain't a
geography of this neighborhood, but
there was a lot of 'em in the school-house
when it burned.
"How far is it to the river, any?"
"Well, any way, it's about 200 miles."
"Oh, how far is it?"
"You can make it as far as you
please."
"I mean how near is it?"
"That'll porter do. I don't know."
"Is this a temperance community?"
"Sorter."
"How long has it been since you had
a drink?"
"It ain't been more than a month, but
it seems like a couple of years."
"What would you give for a drink?"
"A common-sized mule."
"I've got some very fine stuff here in a
bottle; have some?"
The native grasped the bottle eagerly
and drank.
"What is it you want to know?"
"The road to the river."
The native took another drink and
said:
"The river is right over yonder, but
the ferryman will charge you like thun
der if you ain't got. no whisky. Good
day."
When the traveler arrived at the ferry
he found his friend of the store in the
boat waiting for him.
"Helloa! here we aro again. What
will you take to row me across?"
"How much have you got?"
"I mean, what is your price?"
"Three drinks and the cork."
"What do you want with the cork?"
