A bachelor of average wealth
Had gone to trarel for bis health;
The passengers he eyed with care
To see if any friend were there.
He noted here the traveling man.
And theie the lady with her fan;
And there were tourists, one. two. three.
Uh. horrors ! here what does he aee T

Whose oeaseless cries werrloud and wild.
The bachelor paled be'ore this sight.

To wring its little neck, and that
Would stop the howling little brat.'

And eaoti one to his berth bad acne.

To quell perforce th' Infernal cry.

In anger asked the man so mild,
"Where is tbe mother of that child?"
"The mother of my child, dear si r.

PEGGY'S TRIALS.
Peggy was oat in the orchard picking
tip appljBS. They were summer apples
yellow, crisp and so ripe that they would
crack open just as easy! And some of
them had grown so fast and so freshly
after tha late showers.that they ware full
of water at the core! Fine jnicy apples
and a clear, bright morning are enough
to make any little girl happy. No won
der Peggy sang. And Peggy could sing
very wll, indeed. She had never been
taught, but that didn't seem to make any
. difference. She began to sing even be
fore she could talk a sort of pleasant
little humming that would make her
grandma sav. ''She will make a cheerful
woman 1"
Bat Peggy was getting to be quite a
young lady; and in the morning when
our story opens, she was singing gayly a
pretty little ong she had learned at
' Rchool. The happier she became the
louder she sang; and her voice rang out
through the sunny orchard until the
shadows of the leaves on the grass ac
tually seemed to dance about with pleas
ure, and chase each other, first this way
and then that, sometimes hitting a
- golden apple, Bometimea darkening the
rose in aclovei-aead, sometimes making
a little mask on Peggy s upturned face.
almost as if they would like to kiss her
white forehead. I suppose it was the
breeze sweeping softly among the
branches that made the shadows dance
so, but it seemed as if they danced to
Peggy s singing. She had nearly filled
her basket, and was about to pick up the
last - tempting-looking globe, when she
saw something sparkle very brilliantly
in the grass. Stooping quickly, but not
ceasing in her song, she picked up the
shining thing, and looking at it in
amazement, became dumb with surprise.
It was a lovely diamond ring. Peggy
counted the sparkling stones. One, two.
three, eight glowing, bewitching bits of
color and shine, reflecting the trees and
the sky. the apples and the clover. She
could see every shade of the rainbow in
tbe precious jewel, and she was almost
wild with delight. She slipped it on her
finger, looking at it first in this way, and
then in that. She could hardly take her
eyes from it. "Well." said she, "lam
so glad!" Just' then, "Peggy I Peggy!"
came pleasantly from, the hoase. I
mast go," said she to herself. "Grand
ma is calling. What will she say to this?
Why, she will say it is not mine, and
that I must not keep it; I know she will.
But it is mine. I found it in our or
chard, and I know it is mine. I will
keep it. I never had so lovely a th'ng
before; and I mean to keep it." Peggy
said this to herself out loud and shook
her head hard. Then she put the ring
in her little pocket, and, picking up the
1 1 a a 1 is 1 llT ?11
not tell her yet," she said to herself. "I
will think it over."
When she got to the great, breezy
kitchen her dear grandma was "ap to
her ears in flour" as she herself would
have expressed it making pies.
"Ob!" said she, with a cheery laugh,
when Peggy came in, tagging ttie heavy
basket along in both hands, "my little
'help' has arrived. I am going to make
a turn-over for my 'help.' But, Peggy,
what in the matter? What has happened?
Are you uohippy, dear?"
"No, ma'am," said Peggy, rather sul
lenly, "I'm not." And then sheblasbed.
She tboaght to herself: I wonder if it
shows right in my face, that Grandma
can see something has happened? . I do
t. Ll T l ..I -r
nui ueueve a am very uappy, eiiner. a
don't feel so glad as I did."
. On' the first opportunity she ran up
stairs and bid the ring in her own little
chest. It had a till in it- just the can
Bingest place to hide any little object!
When she tacked it away, she again al
most kissed tbe beautiful stones they
were so like icicles and sansets, and
everything pretty and fairy-like she had
ever dreamed of.
She was eleven years old, and had
been quite a reader. She knew that dia
monds were very valuable, and bad even
read in her "Child's Philosophy of Lit
tle Things" of what they were composed,
and how difficult it was to obtain them.
"I Lave a fortune of my own now," she
said to herself, as she shut down the
cover of her chest and tamed the key.
"I am a rich lady; and if I ever want to
sell my beautiful ring I oan buy ever so
many beautiful thines with it booT-u
and pretty dresses, and even a neoklace
like Oora Mav'sl' Hnml T
girls knew what I have got they would
not put on so many airs over their little
gold-heart rings and coral chains. I
should just like to show my lovely dia
mond once!"
Tneu she began to sing, but in the
very first line of the song she stopped.
She turned a little pale, and stood look
ing bat of the hall window with a strrnge
sort of stare. Before her spread the
summer scene. The old wind mill
swung its great sails about lazily.
Robins and sparrows chirped and twit
tered busily. The old-fashioned garden.
with its troop of herbs- and flowers, its
shrubs and bushes, half clipped, half
straggling, sent up a subtle fragrance,
and ever and anon 'the little brook could
be heard rippling over the stones by the
bridge, where she had so many times
waded and "had fun" with her little
friends.
But Peggy did not notice anything of
this. She was thinking: "I don't feel
like singing; but I can't, I won't, give up
my splendid ring. If I tell of it,
grandma will tell all the neighbors, and
the owner will be found and claim it. It
is not the owner's any more. They
should not have lost it. I found it, and
now it is mine. I don't care if I can't
sing. I can look at my ring whenever I
please." Upon this she began to cry as
though her heart would break, just to
prove how happy she was in doing
wrong. But in a few minutes she
brushed away her tears, for she was a
resolute little girl, and went down
stairs.
"Why, Peggy, you must be sick,
dear. You have been crying, I am
sure," said her loving grandmother, im
mediately. "Or, are you unhappy?
Come to me, child, and tell me all about
it. Do! I know I can help my little
girl."
"Grandma." said Peggy, pettishly, "I
have onlv a headache. I have nothing
to tell." ("That was not true," she said
to herself, with the justice and severity
of a judge.) Peggy was no ignorant
wrong doer. She knew as well as you
and I do, dear reader, that she was going
away from all tne pure ana gooa iniags
which she bad ever been taught. Just
then a neighbor came in. Her name was
Mrs. Smart. She always knew all the
news of the neighborhood just as soon as
it happened sometimes before!
"They've had a great time up to the
boardm house, said she.
Now, grandma did not like to listen to
tbe stories which Mrs. Smart was so apt
to tell, one knew that very often they
turned out to be raise, and in any case
they were gossip. Jitvery school girl and
school boy knows whit gossip is. When
you grow up I hope you will not get to
be like Mrs. Smart. If you do, you will
pry and peek and ask questions, and hint
round until you find some little thing
that you can twist into a story against
somebody (never fjr anybody, be sure
of that) and then you will go from
house to house to tell the evil thing you
have imagined, thus doing injury to in
nocent people, and meddling with mat
ters which do not concern you.
"Yes," said Mrs. Smith, "they've had
a great time up there. One of the fine
ladies has lost her diamond ring. It was
stolen from her by a chambermaid. Poor
gyurl! I do pity her, if she is a thief
There she sits a ciyiu'I The lady knows
it was that gyurl, for she was the last
person in the room, and the lady is sure
that she left her ring on the bureau, and
when she came up to breakfast it was
gone, and the gyurl herself said nobody
else had been in the room! They've
searched her trunks and can't find
nothin', but they made such a fuss that
Mr. Laird discharged the poor thmg,aad
she sacon.
"What lady was it?,' questioned
Grandma, for she was quite interested
" 'Twas that Miss Dulcimer that was
down here a-tryin' to buy your chiney
t other day. She feels very badly, too
Twas her mother's ring, and folks say
twas worth four hundred dollars!
Peggy ttenibled with excitement, - but
her voice was pretty calm as she said:
"Which way did she go home from
here. Grandma? Was it while I was at
school?''
"Yes; it was day before yesterday, in
the afternoon, bhe went up the board
ing house through the orchard, because
it was cooler, she said.
"Well," said Mrs. Smart, "I must go.
for I want to see that guilty gyrul off,
She was a-sitting in the kitchen cry in' as
f her heart would break, and a-telun
how she never done no such thing; but
vou never can toll! lhosa gyurls are so
deceivin. I presume she's got tbe ring
somewhere about her clothes now. At
any rate, she won't get another place
very soon. I kinder pity her, and yet it
serves her right.
"Is she going away?' asked grand
ma.
"Yes; in the stage why, I hear it
now good-bye. I'm agoin' to see how
she takes it when she goes?
Peggy sprang upstaire like a deer. She
went straight to her chest. Through the
window came the rumble of the stage,
nearer and nearer. In a minute or two
it would reach the boarding house, and
go on. Peggy looked for the key. It
was not under the mat, as usual. Where
could it be? Peggy tried to think, but
her head seemed in a whirl. "What
could I have done with the key?" she
sobbed. Putting her hand up to her
neck, she happened to feel a little rib
bon. "Oh, yes," she sighed in relief.
She had tied the key to a ribbon, and
placed it about her neck; for now that
she had a diamond ring in her chest, she
would have to be more careful, she had
said to herself. But the ribbon was tied
in a hard knot, and was too strong to
break. The ominous ramble had
stopped; the stage had reached the
boarding house. "What shall I do?"
groaned Peggy, her heart beating with
fright and anxiety. "Oh! I must get
into my chest." Then she saw a pen
knife on tbe table. Iu an instant she
had out the libbon and unlooked the
chest, caught up tbe ring, and ran down
stairs. Her grandma called: "Where
are you going?" bat she dashed like a
whirlwind through tbe kitcnen, cleared
tbe two steps at a bound, and went up
the road like a flash. How she raa! Her
heart beat like a trip hammer, but her
eita were wide open to catch the sound
of the stage. Kound the corner, by tbe
end of the orchard, she still kept on;
but just as she came in front of the trim
croquet ground, she saw the stage start
off from tbe door.
After it she sped with all her might.'
Tbe summer boarders were all collected
in front of tbe house. Mrs. Smart was
by the road, watobing the last tears of
the unfortunate maid; some fashionable
city children, whom Peggy had almost
disliked, because they were so "airy,"
as she called it, were right in her path;
but she went after the stage as if her life
depended upon it. "Whoa! she critd.
'Stop! Whoa! Driver! Driver! Stop!"
("Ob, deari under her breath I
can never make him hear, x can; a
will!") "Stop!" she screamed, this time
with all her little might, and, as Bhe had
almost reached the stage, the driver heard
and brought his horses to a standstill.
"Which is the girl?" said Peggy,
breathlessly, adding, as she caught sight
of the poor muid: "Here is the ring?
You must get out and go back! You
must ! I found it. I'll tell them.
Come!"
The girl gave a cry of joy and got out
of the stage immediately.
"Yes," said she to the astonished dri
er, "you must put my trunk down, for
I shall not go on. They will all see that
I did not steal tbe ring now!" and, as he
oomplied with her order, she clasped
Peggy to her heart and said: "You dear ;
little girl! How good you are to run so!
How glad I am that you found it! I can
never thank you enough!"
Peggy was panting and half-sobbing,
but she went with tbe happy maid to the
house and banded tbe ring to the de
lighted Miss Dulcimer.
"Wheie did you nnd it, you splended
child?" Baid that gushing person, who
had not been kind and just enough to
make sure before she had had the offend
ing maid discharged. "I want to make
you a little present to show my grati
tude. Mere are ten dollars, and 1 can
not say how very thankful I am to you
for being so honest and good."
"I was not honest at all," said Peggy,
whose flaming checks and excited eyes
made her look very pretty, indeed. "I
thank you very much, but I don't want
any present. I don't deserve it. Yes,
I will take it though," she added; and,
having taken the bill in her hand, said
to the maid, who was standing by, a si
lent witness of the scene: "You deserve
it much more than I; keep it," and with
a half laugh, half sob, she put the bill
into the maid's hand, and fled out of tbe
room and down the lane without a word.
It was not very polite, but she couldn't
stay there another minute. She wanted
to get to her dear grandma and be for
given end comforted. She ran down
home as fast as she had come up the hill;
but this time she was neither anxious
nor unhappy. She noticed the sweet
smell of a bed of mignoneies in the
door-yard, and heard one of her doves
"co-roo, co-roo" on the rcof as she went
in. Grandma met her, looking worried
and trouble I. "Peggy," 6aid she, rather
severely, "how s aangely , you act this
morning. What is the matter with
you?"
Then Peggy put her arms around her
grandma's neck, and told her everything
about it how she found the ring and
was bound to keep it, and felt as' wicked
about it, and then was so frightened for
fear she should not be able to save the
poor, wronged girl; and how she ran
and how she made the driver hear, and
all about it from beginning to end; and
even how she could not sing os she stood
by the window that morning. "But I
oan sing now. Grandma! she exclaimed
and broke into a little trill as happy and
free as any bird s.
"Yes, dear," said Grandma, with a
smile, "you can sing even more happily
than ever, for you have learned to-day
what a terrible thing it is to carry, even
for one moment the sense that you are
doing wrong, and also the peace that
comes irom resisting temptation, and
obeying the commands of one's con
science." And when, next morning, Peggy
went out into the orchard to pick up
some more apples, she sang as blithely
as ever and had not a sad thought in her
mind. St. Nicholas.
Iu Westminster AbDy Again.
When the "Province of Massachu
setts Bay" was an English colony, it
caused to be erected iu Westminster
Abbey a monument to Viscount Howe.
Recently the English government has
caused to be erected in tbe same "Great
Temple of Beconciliation and Silence," a
monument to the memory of the George
Peabody of Massachusetts, an independ
ent State, Next, another American con
secrated a beautifully stained window in
the Abbey to the memory of George
Herbert and -William Cowper. And
now still another American, whose name
is not yet publicly revealed, but who ia
represented to be" extensively read and
often quoted, is about to place a memo
rial to Coleridge, to keep company with
those of Wordsworth and Soutbey. Cer
tainly Coleridge was by no means tbe
least of the three famous "Lake poets,"
and by many is considered far the supe
rior of either of his two associate verse
makers. His "Ancient Mariner" and
"Cbristabel" will long survive in Eng
lish literature, and the musical rythm of
his "Kubla Khan is likely to sound
down through tbe coming generatioas,
when the voluminous efforts of his
pair of noble brothers" can no longer
nnd a publisher.
Dean Stanley, in his "Historical Me
mo rials of Westminster Abbey," relates
of "Quesn Emma from the Islands ot
tbe Pacific," that on a certain occasion
when she accompanied him ia "a de
lightful ramble through that venerable
pile, she requested tbe privilege of see
ing tbe author of "The Ancient Marin
er; and expressed somewhat indignant
surprise at being told there was none
Perhaps if her means had been suffi
ciently ample she would have supplied
what she considered a culpable defi
ciency. As it was she expressed herself
in such language that in its emphasis it
reached the attention of the present un
known American gentleman referred to
who has acted upon her hint, and whose
memorial window has now been conse
crated to its place of perpetuity.
A Miser's Estate.
.A strange story is being told about the
court house in regard to the settlement
of the estate of a miser who died in this
city about a year ago. He had lived in
filth and apparent penury, working at his
shoemaker s bench in ward three, until
he became insane a few years before bis
death. and it was found that he bad $(3000
deposited in a local savings bank. He
left behind him $5300, and no heirs ap
peared to claim it until a Californian
put in such strong proofs of being the
dead man's son that the probate court
allowed him $500 to use in making the
journey here, and for incidentals, as be
claimed to be very poor. His affidavits
asserted that he was an only child, his
mother having died when he was born.
A grandmother, to whom he referred,
however, declared, on being oonsulted,
that bis mother lived to bear him a sis
ter, deserted her husband, married
again, and was still living in tbe eastern
part of tbe state. Tbe story goes that in
due time tbe claimant arrived, backed
by his lawyer, being about thirty-one
years old, and much the worse for along
fight with rum and poverty, lie still
denied having a mother or sister, but
finally started with the adminstrator and
he lawver to hunt her up. They found
her without trouble, living with tbe
grown-up daughters of her second hus
band, who had died, ihe lawyer and
the administrator interviewed her, leav
ing the son in a hack outside. They dis
covered that she had a daughter by her
first husband living, revealed to her his
recent death, and secured a release from
her of all his interest in his estate for
$50. Then the son was introduced and a
dramatic recognition on the mother's
part followed. The interview was so
noisy that a daughter attempted to enter
the room, but was excluded at the moth
er's request. As soon as the visitors left
the woman fainted, and her children
found her. 'insensible with $50 in her
hand. This aroused her suspicion, and
tbev demanded an explanation. The ad
ministrator, who had taken occasion to
warn the woman not to let her daughter
sign away any right, was visited that
night by an attorney of the daughter.
and mother and daughter soon appeared J.
here by counsel and pressed their claim
as heirs. Both they and the son swore
to their relationship to the deceased.
Most of the property has now been dis
tributed to the heirs, and the rest will
follow unless the son's share is stopped
by legal process on behalf of his Califor
nia creditors, who have begun sending
in enormous bills for money claimed to
have been advanced for him. He says
he reached California by enlisting on a
United States man-of-war. The money
will apparently prove worse than useless
to any but his mother. She appears to be
a poor but respeotable woman, and has
been at one time a charge on the town
where she lives. Shortly after giving
the son $500 the administrator received
a letter from him begging for $5 to bring
him to Springfield, and the rest of tbe
money will probably go as that $500
went. The son was once a respectable
shoemaker, and lived for a time in this
city. Springfield, Mass., Republican.
A Quick-banded Parson.
It was in the Carolina backwoods. A
country couple and parson. When he
had finished the ceremony he said:
"An them 'uns who God have
joined "
"Stop tbar, parson," said the groom;
"don't say them "uns say these 'uns."
"John," said the parson, "I tech vou
at school, and I say them 'una."
"These 'uns!" shouted the groom,
drawing his pistol.
The parson, saeing the movement, fired
through his surplice, and the groom
dropped dead, winging tbe parson as he
went down. Th 1 e was a lively fusilade
of, perhaps, tuiriy shots. When the
8 moke cleared half a dozen men were ou
the floor. The bride, peeping over the
pulpit, to which she had fled for refuge,
gazed mournfully on the scene and said:
"Them a-self-oDckin pistols is a playin'

The East river bridge affords another
special enlargement of woman's
sphere," since it appears tbet the wife
of Washington Hoebling has been his
chief of the engineering staff since a very
short time after he was prostrated with
the caisson disease. When he was first
attacked she began to study engineering,
and soon became proficient, and has
shown really extraordinary ability. Her
only reward so far has been the dis
tinction of driving the first team over the
bridge. .

by the Norristown Herald: A boot just

asked such a high prioe for egg) that an
impression prevailed that they wanted to
