Sho saw Ned coming and ho waved
her liandkorehiof air hint. "IIo is tho

"I will sound my lifo in devotion to
him."
"Thoro sho stands," Ned mused
"Uood-girl, tho right kind of a girl to

"Nod, I thought you never would

"No, not very. His cough does not

"Sorry to hear it. Shall wo go to

) "You havo walked enough, Ned.
Why didn't you rider""
"Well, I was out in tho woods,
thinking, when tho times for mo to set
out arrived, so 1 thought (hat it would
bo saving time to walk rather than to
go back to tho houso and catch a
horse."
I Mr. Hatford, with feeble troad, was
walking up and down tho porch. Ho
cordially greeted tho young man, for
whom ho had a pronounced rogard.
Bolioving that ho could not live much
longer, and with a natural anxiety for
tho welfaro of his daughter, ho looked
upon Ned as ho would havo looked
upon a son.
1 "How nro you feeling, Mr. Hat
i ford?" tho young man asked as ho
soatod himself in a large arm chair
which Kuth had drawn out from au
adjoining room.
"I am not at all woll. Ned. To toll
yoji tho truth, I believe that my time
hero is short."
"Oh, don't say that, father," tho
girl implored;
"I cannot help hut say it, Kuth,
when I feel it so strongly. It should

Ruth did not tcU hrr father. The
next day when ho asked why Ned did
not stay all nigbt, she replied that he
had a business appointment which he
was compelled to meet. Two days
later, the old man died. Just Wfore
passing away, ho spoke in high praiso
of Ned. Tho girl wus almost heart
broken, hut she spoke to no one of her
grenter grief. Tho llowor of her love
became tho thorn of hate, anil deep
within horsolf, sho burned with re
vengeful desire.
J ho farm was sold and Kuth wont
out west to live with her uncle. Sot
eral years passed, hut sho had nover
ceased to pray for revenge. Her time
was coming.
Ono day, with a fooling of pleasure,
a kind of bitter delight, sho learned
that Ned lily lived in the country, that
no Had iicgun the practice of law in a
town not far away. Sho felt sure ho
would come to see her, for ho hail
tried to see lier before sho left her old
home.
Kuth," said her uncle, upon re
turning from tho town, "J mot an old
friend of yours to-day. His nanio is
Ned Illy. You know him, don't you?"
Uh, yes, l know liiin.
He said that ho had known you a
long time. 1 had some law business
and I gave it to him. The people say
that ho is a lino lawyer."
'I am glad to hear it. When you
see him again, give him my compli
ments."
All right. 1 am going back day
nfter to-morrow."
Whon Mr. Hatford returned from
his second visit he said to Kuth:
"When I told Hlvthatyou sont your
compliments, ho seemed to bo surpris
ed. He blushed, I thought. Ah, Kuth,
ho is a capital fellow, aiid, by the way,
no promised to .call Hero next buu-
dav."
"I shall bo delighted to moot him,"
Kuth replied.
Mio was delighted, but what a de
light! Tho face of her father came
up boforo her. "Now," sho mused,
my time is coining. 1 will win It is
love. Then 1 will toaoh him a bettor
lesson, 1 despise him!"
When Illy camo. she mot him with
out the slightest betrayal of emotion.
He had not changed."
Miss Kuth, time has not in thu
loast altored you," ho said, as hefoud
lr looked upon her.
"No. 1 am about the same, 1 think."
"I was afraid that you would hate
nio."
"Oh, I could novur hate you, Ned

When sho descended the staira and

Sho would givo them a piece of acting.

An Old-Timo Sehool-ilastcr.
A hundred nnd fifty years ago,
imong the Gorman settlors of I'enn
jylvania, there was a roinarkablo old
jchool-niaster, whose name was Chris
topher Dock. For three days ho
taught school at a littlo place called
Skippaok, and then for tho next three
lavs he taught atSalford.
Whenever ono of his younger schol
ars succeeded in learning liis A IJ C,
'ho good Christopher Dock required
the father of his pupil to give his son
a penny, and also asked his mother to
cook two eggs for him as a treat in
honor of his diligence. To poor chil
dren in a liow country these woro lino
rewards. At various other points in
his progress, nn industrious child in
ono of Dock's schools received a jxm
ly from Ids father and two egsr'1
:ooked by his mother. All this time
he was not counted a member of the,
jchool, but only as on probation. Tho
day on which a boy or girl logau to
read was the great day. If tho pupil
ind been diligent in spelling, the mas
ter, on tho morning after the lirst'
reading day, would give a ticket care
fully written or illuminated with hi'
iwn hand. Tliig read: "Industrious
one penny." This showed that tho
scholar waj now toally receired into
the school.
There wero no clocks or watches;
the children came to school one after
mother, taking their places near the
master, who sat writing. They sinint
their time reading out of tho Testa
ment until all were there. But ovary
one who sncceodod in rondiug his
torso without mistake stopped reud
ing, and came and sat at thu writing
table to write. The poor follow wlio
remained last on the bunch was called
La.y Scholar.
The funniest. of Dock's rewardi was
that which ho gave to thoto who madu
ao mistake in their lessomt. llo mark
ed a largo O with chalk on the hand uf
tho perfect scholar. Fancy what a

An Acronnt of a Visit to Ills Birthplace in the
State ot Mrtine.
Last week I visited my birthplaco in
too slato ot Alamo. 1 waited thirty
years lor tue puohc to visit it, aud as
thoro didn't seem to bo much of a
rush this spring, I thought 1 would
go nnd visit it myself. 1 was tolling
a friend tho othor day that tho public
did not seem to manifest tho interest
in my birthplace that I thought it
ought; So, and ho snid I ought hot to
mind that. "Just wait," said ho, "till
tho people of tho United States have
nn opportunity to visit your tomb, and
you will bo surprised to seo how they
will run excursion trains up tnoro to
Moosehead lake, or whoreyor you
plant yoursolf. It will bo a perfect
picnic, xour Hold on llio American
people, William, is wonderful, but
your death Would 'om to assure it,
nnd kind of crystahro the alloction
now existing, but still in a nebulous
and irulumy state."
A man ought not to criticise his
birthplace, I presume, and yet, if I
were to do it ail overatrain, 1 do not
know whether J would hlect that par
ticular spot or not. sometime 1 thins.
I would not. And yot, what memorios
cluster about that old housel J hero
was the place where I lirst met my
patents, it was at that time that on
acquaintance sprang up which lias
ripened in late vears into mutual re-
hppct and esteem. It was there that
what might Im termed u casual moot
ing took plsce that ha.", under the al-
cbuiny of resistless year?, turned to
goldou links, funning a pleasant but
powerful bond of union between my
pareuts and myself. For that reason I
hope that 1 may be spared to ray
parents for many years to come.
Many old memories now cluster
about that old homo, as 1 have said.
Tucro is, also, other old bric-a-brac
which has accumulated since I was
born there. I took a small stone from
the frontyard as a kind of "memento"
of the occasion aud the pi: tee. I do
not think it has been detected vet.
There was another stone in thu yard,
so it may be weeks before anyone finds
out tiiat l took one of them.
How humble the home, and yet
what a lesson it should teach tho boys
of America! Here, amid the barren
and the inhospitable waste of rocks
and cold, the last place in the world
that a man would naturally select to
be born in, began the lifo of one who,
by his own mrtided effort, in after
years rose to the proud height of
lostui.vslcr at Laramie City, Wyoni
n g, and, witli an estimate of the fu
ture that was almost prophetic, re
signed iMjfore lie could be character
ized as an oll'ensive partisan.
Here on tiio banks of the racing
Piscataquis, where wintrr linger in
the lap of soring till it occasion a
good deal of talk, there began a ca
reer which has been the wonder and
uliniration of erorv vigilance com
mittee west of the turbulent Missouri.
There on that spot, with no inherit
ance but a predisposition to prema
ture baldness and a bitter hatred of
rum, with no personal property but a
mislit suspender ami a stono-bruiso,
Iwgan a life history which has never
ceased to bo a warning to people who
sell groceries on credit.
It should teach tho youth of this
young land what glorious possibilities
may lie concealed in thu rough and
tough bosom ot" the reluctant present.
It shows how steady perseverance and
a good appetite will always win in the
end. It teaches us that wealth is not
indispensable, and that if we lire as
we should, draw out of politics at tiie
proper time, and die a few days be
fore the public absolutely demand it,
the matter of our birthplace will not
lie considered.
Still, in v birthplace is all right a a
birthplace. It was a good, quiet place
in which to lie born. Alt the old
neighbors said that Shirley was a very
quiet place up to the time 1 was born
there, anil when I took my parents by
the hands nnd gently led llioni nwa'
in tho spring of i'.i, saying: "Parents,
this is no place for us," it became
quiet.
It ia the ouly birthplace 1 have, how
erer, and I hope that all the readern
of The Globe will feel perfectly free to
to there tiny time and visit it, and
carry their dinner, as I did. Extrava
gant cordiality and oversowing hos
pitality hove always kept my birth
place back. lioMon Sumlun Globe.

flontloman to his room. Joo aw tho
umbrella and winfted at tho clork. rtt
much aa to say ho had dealt with a
good many such guests in his time,
and ho took Smith bv tho arm and
told him ho had better come alonir
quietly to bed, and ho would feel bet
ter in the inarniiiir. Smith said ho
felt well enough, and did not want to
go to Itfid, but Joo took hold of hi
win, and at a nod from tho clork ho
tinted Smith along toward the eleva
tor, the umbrella lianifinrr all over, the
ribs sticking against Joe, catching on
the elevator door and runninc- into the
elevator man's coat. Smith iat down
in the eloyator, put tho point of the
uniuroiia on tho iloor, when it turned
wrong side out. and when they ar
rived at Smith's floor he dracircd the
umbrella out by the handle. Smith
started off iu an opposite direction
from his room, aud Joo caught him,
and led him tho othor way, Smith all
the time saying he did not'want to go
to bed, he had an engagement to meet
a man at 8:30, and it was an outrage
to Ui dragged oft' to bed in a lirst
class hotel in the shank of tho
evening. Joe tried to soothe him,
and linally got him in his room,
and Smith laid the umbrella on the
bed and was going to sit down on it,
wlien Joe grabbed it out from under
him, told him the umbrella was dc
naoralixed enough without being sat
on, aud he cgau to pull oil Smith'
boots, saying, "Now, undress your
self and I will soon havo you in bed
and you can sleep till morning."
Smitli begged as a special favor that
Joo would go awav and leavo him. ile
said he could undress himself onsy
enough, and linally Joo went out and
loft him. Joe went down the elovator,
aud Sinith went out of his room and
walked down the stairs, and was
standing in tho ollico with tho umbrel
la under his arm, talking with his
friend apparently just as drunk as
ever, whon Joo came out of the eleva
tor. Joo looked at Smith as though
ho was a ghost, and walked around
him twice before he spoke, and then
he walked up to Smilh and said, "1
thought I just put you to bed?" Smith
looked at Joo in astonishment, and
said, "I beg pardon, sir, but 1 believe,
1 have never met you before." Joo'
looked again at tho umbrella, aud at
Smitli, aud then ho went up tho ele
vator to tho room to seo if Smith was
thoro; Smitli hurried up tho stairs and
got into tiio room, and pulled oil' his
coat, and was just trying to get his
boots oil", when Joo wrapped, and was
told to come in. He opened tho door,
saw Smith and tho umbrella, turned
pale, asked if lie could be of any help,
aud said thoro was a man down in tho
otliee that resembled hur. a good deal,
and was about as drunk, and had
mashed his umbrella terrible. Smith
told Joe ho could undress, and Jew wont"
out and Smitli put on his coat and went
down the stairs ami when Joo came
out of tho olcvaiai Smith was
looking over the register, witli his um
brella hanging loose, ono of tho points
iu the overcoat pocket of a stranger
who was trying to register. "Stand
back, please," said the clerk to Smitli,
as he pushed the register to the strang
er. Then turning to Joo tho clerk
said, "I thought 1 told you to put that
drunken man to bed." Joo looked at
Smith, and his eyes stuck out, and tho
perspiration came out ou his face as
ho told the cleik that ho had put the
other drunken man to bed, that this
was evidently his twin brotlior, as ho
had been up to thu other one's room,
and ho was there all right. "Woll,
take this ono to tho pouud, or the re
frigfttor, or somewhere," said the
clerh. At this Snflth's friends began
to laugh, and Smith straightened his
umbrella out and looked as sobor as
anybody, and the clork and tho porter
soon found that they had been fooled
by a drunk and disorderly umbrella.
Tho umbrella has been qiiito a curios
ity at the hotel for several days, many
rospectab citizens trying to borrow
it to ta&o homo to fool thoir wives
With. Ono gentleman said if ho
should go home with that umbrella In
that shape, his wifo would procure a
divorce. Joo said ho had beou fooled
a good many times, but ho nover was
so completely taken in as ho was by
Smith and tho drunk umbrella.-.

Treating" and La.
Tho failure which is nuiQuncod
of
tho "anti-treatlng" law in Nebraska
was a foregone conclusion. No law
could bo framed for such a purpose
which could not bo evaded; and any
law attempting to achieve such a
purpose was sure to bo provocative of
evasion. It was one of tuo8o Invasions
of natural right which man instinc
tively regards as a ehalenge. It was
cafe to predict when the law passed
that men who had never treated in
their lives would try it eQeo, for thu
more purpose of showing their con
tempt lor the law or Knurling their
tiidt'pelidoiioo. Tim result shows that

Law and Ivyors.
It cannot bo supposed thatovcry one
who appears In a court of justice pos
sesses that amount of familiarity with
his country's laws which would tuako
him a lit or capable exponent of his
own cause, although thoro aro soruo
chronic oil'cnders who, by long exper
porionco, have become as expert in
cheating the gallows and the jail,
as a regularly uidained counsellor at
law.
Alnioi overy person who attains
years of maturit3',"sooncr or later, has
some cause which can bo settled ouly
ni tho bar of justice, as, for instance,
when tho matured person refuses to
comply with his promise lo commie
matrimony, and refuses to meat his
other obligations.
Tho duties of a lawyer are not such
s can bo discharged by one who is
unfamiliar with tholr requirements,
for tho art of bullyragging witnesses
and throwing dust in tho optics of tho
jury is n6t as easy as might bo sup
posed. It requires tinio to harden tho
check of tho criminal lawyer to the
requisite degree of toughness.
At all times tho harvest of lawyers'
has ljecti abundant, ami there is no
immediate reason for fearing that the
supply will dimmish, as tho crop is
not altectcd by late trost or drouth, or
tho seven teen year locusts.
haws aro formed to guide tho cood
and restrain the evil, but thev do
ueithor the one nor tho other, owing
to tho skill with which tho laws ure
lwrverted by tho lawvors, who irot
themselves elected to the legislature,
whore thay can mix up the laws so as
to promote litigation. Its apostles
and expounders should try above all
others to seo its majesty maintained.
The fact that a man is a lawyer does
not argue that ho is wholly abandoned
that ho has nothing in common with
his fellow man. I heir interests aro
identical with tiiose of other citizens.
They cannot harm others without
sooner or later banning themselves.
Let the lawyer vindicate truth anil
elevate his profession from the lab
rynths of past darkness.
Tho first duty of every citizen is to
his county. Law is the only profession,
that reverses this maxim. The lawver
claims that his lirst and highest dutv
is to his client. Ho has no desire
to seo justice vindicated; usually that
is prscisely what he tries to prevent.
Siacj tho days of Socrates this has
been a legal maxim: "Tho advocate
should keep probability in view, and
say farewell to the truth." This is a
littlo trying to tender susceptibilities,
but it is tine. It is rathor a cruel
statement of tho case, but lawyers
throughout the world's history have
justified the remark. Few lawyers
oyer make a speech at tho bar that is
not full of fallacies. Tho most brilliant
ulvocate and tho most contemptible
shyster mako common cause to
subvert the laws of thoir country.
