A STRANGE MAKKIAGE.
John Collins was out of work. In
common with many others, for reasons
not neeesarv to euter upon, he had
been idlo for some lime, lie was al
most out of money 50 cents is not
much. But he was not out of hope.
lie was so determind to put his shoulder
to the wheel that he could not believe
that there would not soon be a wheel
to shoulder.
"Now. on this Saturday afternoon.
with evervthinjr at a standstill, he knew
that there would be no use in standing
before closed doors or of loitering in
empty yards; so he made up his mind
to have a holiday, and all that sweet,
sunny afternoon to pretend to him
self that he had nothing to worry
about.
There was music in the park; there
were seats to sit upon.
A man could eat 5 cents' worth of soda
crackers as well there as elsewhere. In
fact, they made quite a neat lunch.
On Sunday he would buy a paper,
and get every item in the columns
headed, -Help Wanted Males" by
heart, but this afternoon his pro
gramme was the park.
Accordingly, be went home, climbed
to the top floor of a tenement-house,
where he had hired a hail-bedroom of
a washerwoman, who did not need all
the rooms at her end of the flat, and
dressed himself in his Sundar suit.
The suit was not a tine one at lest,
and it was by no means new, but John
was a handsome man, and there is a
good deal in that.
He blacked his boots, turned his
enffs, thanked fortune he still had a
clean collar, and sat off park ward he
was just in time for the music.
The sky was blue, the grass was
green, the park was just as much his
as it was anybody's, and after the
crowd had dispersed and the musicians
descended from their pavilion, he be
thought him to walk about aw hile. and
ook his way toward the reservoir.
There waSTriot a souLthure, - and he
began to saunter about the brink, eat
ing bis crackers, when his attention
w as attracted to the singular conduct
of a yonng girl, who was creeping
along toward toward the reservoir,
looking over her shoulder, as though
she expected to be followed.
Now and then she lifted to her eyes
a handkerchief that she hail crushed up
in one hand, and it was evident that
she was crying.
"WThat can she be doing?" John
asked himself. In a minute more it
Hashed upon him that she intended to
drown herself.
He was about to spring forward to
seize her, when he reflected that until
he was sure that she was actually a
would-be suicide it would hardly do
to lay bands upon her, and so, "con
cealing himself as best he could, he
waited. .
'And now he observed the girl more
closely. She was yonng, she was
small, and her features were pretty.
She had that peculiar attenuated look
that comes to most women with worry
and poverty, but her clothes were not
ragged, and she had a very respecta
ble air. She wore one kid" glove, he
noticed. At first she stood behina a
stone parapet that guards the edge of
the reservoir, crying and looking over.
Then she folded her hands, and put
her face upon them, and John fancied
that she prayed. After this, by dint of
scrambling she perched upon the
6tones and sat there. John drew
nearer.
At last she arose to her feet, and
John was there below her, though she
did not dream of it.
'Good-by, yon dear, pretty world."
he heard her say. "I wonder where I
am going to," and she made prepara
tions to jump into the water.
Instead of accomplishing this, she
was lifted landward by two big hands,
and as she touched ground she began to
sob.
"Oh, why couldn't you let me?" she
said. "And now you'll put me in
prison, I suppose, for "being too unhappy
to live."
"I'm not a policeman," said John.
"Oh, thank goodness!" said the girl.
"You'll let me go, then?"
"Not yet," said John. "You see,
although I'm not a policeman, I'm a
man, and that makes it my duty to
take care of women folk when they
need it. Yon seem to."
"You mean to be very kind," said
the girl; "but you are not. I suppose
you have no idea what it is to be all
alone in a big city, without money and
without work?"
"Oh," said John, "but I have. I
haven't had any work for three weeks,
that is my cash in hand."
And he exhibited his half-dollar.
"Oh," she said, with an air of great
er confidence. "Well, yes, you do
know something about it, only yoa are
not a woman.'
"No," said John. "Of course that
makes it worse for von. But tell me
what drove you to that cowardly - act."
"It was a very brave act," said the
girl.
"Not a bit of it," said John. "It's
brave to live and light as long as you
can that's my idea."
"I can't; I've nothing to fight with,"
said the girl. "Oh, if you knew "
"Tell me," said John.
"My father died," said the girl. "Mv
stepmother hated me. She married
again, ana her second turned me out
of the house. Pa had left her all his
money; I had nothing. 1 came to New
York "and got sewing to do. One day
the woman that employed nie asked
me if I d make her a wall-pocket for
her papers. The kind I mean is made
out of old steels from extenders. You

John did not know, but he looked as

That can't bo done," said John.
Every one who knew John called
him queer. If acting differently from
other people under given circumstances
is being queer he certainly was.
As he looked down upon this little
pale, pretty-, and assuredly innoceut
girl, and knew that if e went away
and left her she would assuredly lump
into the water, his heart softened to
ward her as women's do to crying
babies. What dear little thing" she
was, he thought. What a shame that
fate should have used her so. It
seemed his duty to take care of her.
Oh, hang it, I'll get a job on Mon
day," ho said; "and everybody tells
me that it is as easv for two to live as
one. I'll do it."
Then he turned to the girl and said:
'Circumstances alter cases. It's a
queer kind of courtship, but I like yow.
1 guess yon could like me if you tried.
Will you marry me? I'll get work on
Moniiay, I'm sure. I've got half a

me, and be married, and I'll take care

What the girl said was
"Oh, my! YY hv, I uever heard of
such a tiling. What would people
say:
People will not know it's our own
business. I think vou 11 make a good
wife." returned John. "You need
taking care of the worst way. Think
about, it."
He left her alone and walked tip and
down. Sho looked at him and John
was handsome. He looked at her, and
thought again that she w!ts the sweet
est little thing he had ever seen. He
smiled, loo. He weut back and sat
down beside her.
"Guess we'll sra the minister?" he
said. .
"Well, you slon't know the least
thins about me,'" she said; '"and I can't
see how vou can like me enough.
"1 don't either," he admitted. "But
1 do like von better than I ever liked
any other girl."
I feel that way to you," she said.
And then they walked to the house
of an old minister, who was willing to
take his fee iu thanks, and give them
his blessinir into the barjraiu.
And Johu and Annie were husband
and wife.
On Monday John Collins went forth
to search for work, rather more
anxiously than before, and 1 am sorry
to say he found none.
He remained away all day and re
turned home in very low spirits.
Annie had prepared supper. She
had cooked two red herrings nt Mrs.
Roniev's tire, and set the candle-stand
with a cloth, on which she had placed
two wooden pie-plates ana two tin
cups. The bread was sliced nicely,
and a '"drawing of tea had been made
in a pitcher.
The room was tidv, the window
shown, and Aunie looked happy.
John began to be cheerful again.
"To be sure I baye not had luck to
day, but it will come to-morrow," he
said, as he sat down to supper.
Annie looked very pretty on the
other side of the tiny table.
"If only a man could be -sure of a
good living," John thought, he would
be much happier married thau single."
After tea Annie cleared away the
thinks, and John went out on ihe stair
case with his pipe while she did so. He
believed. that women disliked smoke,
but knew that Annie would never ad
mit the fact,
As he sat there, wondering where he
should go to look for w ork uext day, a
gentleman came stumblingup the dark
stairs.
"I am looking for a Mr. John
Collins," he said.
"That's my name," said John.
"You are a married man, sir?" asked
the gentleman.
"Yes, sir," said John. "I've been
married about two davs, if that will
do."
"Ah you are the right man; and
it's your wife I want," said the gentle
man. John's heart sunk.
"What do you want her for?" he
asked, thinking only of misfortune.
"To ask a few questions," said the
gentleman.
"We have very small quarters" said
John; "but come in."
He pushed open the door of the tiny
room, but before hs could speak,
Annie ran forward with outstretched
hands.
"Mr. Cummins!" she cried.
"Yes, Mr. Cummings, Annie.' said
the gentleman. "I've been looking
tor you for six months. I really be
gan to believe you dead, when I met an
old friend of mine, a clergyman, and
happening to speak of my fruitless
mission, he told me that he had mar
ried a young lady of your name on
Saturday night. Farewell is not a
common name, though Annie is, and
as the Rev. Mr. Darrow had learned
your husband's place of residence, I
came here to see if the bride were by
any chance my lost heiress. I find
that she is."
"An heiress!" cried Annie.
"Yes, my dear," said Mr. Cam.

ended with her life. And though she
gave a good deal of cash to her second
husband, you are still very rich, and
have only to take possession of your
property'in regular form."
"It is like a dream," said Aunie.
"1 am glad papa did not forget me;
that was the worst thought I had to
bear."
"And I shouldn't wonder if this for
tune were acceptable just now," said
Mr. Cummings, as he took his leave.
But John stood silent after he had
gone, and his face was very grave. At
last he said:
"Well, Annie, are 3-ou sorry that
fou married me now? I had no idea
was a fortune-hunter."
"John," cried Annie, "I should be
lying dead if it were not for you. Or,
if I had been saved and sent to prison,
perhaps Mr. Cummings never would
have found me. It all came about be
cause you were so generous to poor
little me, whom most men would have
suspected of being a verj" wicked girl;
and all my life I shall spend in trying
to repay you. Sorry? Oh, no, Johu.
Already, though I have been your
wife such a little while, I care a great
deal more for you than I could for any
fortune. And we shall be so happy
on the old place, with plenty to live
upon."

Women as Kducatom.
It is pleasant to see women coming
more aud more to the front In educa
tional affairs, as teachers, as school
committee, as supervisors of schools,
and as originators of methods and ad
visers In the execution of those meth
ods. It is strange that this has not
come about earlier; for it would seem
as if nature herself had intimated an
opinion in this regard, since it Is the
mother to whom the first formative
processes of the child's mind are in
trusted, and whoever gives tho subject
any thought will confess that these
first processes are tho most important
of all. that they are the beginning of
development. It is in them that the
memory sets about laying in Its stores,
that the tendency to good or evil is re

remarked three centuries since that a
gardeuer takes no more pains with the
young than with the full-grown plant,
and Comenius said that the great
boughs which a tree ia to have sprout

growth. It is evident to all that the

who are always at home ami at hand,

Frohol declared that the uufoldiitg and

springs all that is best in the race; and
mat, we au Know, is almost exclusive'

aud grandmothers, aunts and elder
sisters. If, then, women are the ones
to whom, both by nature and the cus

AU Watches Com pauses.
A few days ago I was standing by an
American gentlemen when I expressed
a wish to know which point was the
north. He at once pulled out his
watch, looked at it, aud jwinted to the
north. 1 asked him whether he had
a compass attached to his watch. "All
watches." he replied, "are compasses."
Then he explaiued to me how this was.
Point the hour hand to the sun and
the south is exactly half-way between
the hour and the "figure XII. on the
watch. For instance supose that it is
4 o'clock. Point the hand indicating
4 to the sou ami II. on the watch is
exactly south. Suppose it ia 8 o'clock,
point the hand indicating 8 to the sun
and the figure X. on the watch is due
south. My American friend was q&ite
surprised that I did not know this.
Thinking that very possibly I was ig
norant of a thing that every one else
knew, and happening to meet Mr.
Stanley I asked that eminent traveler
whether he was aware of this simple
mode of discovering the points of the
compass. He said that he had never
heard of it. I presume, therefore, that

Propriety and Frugality in Dress.
A society ha9 been started by woman
of high social positiou in New York, it
is said, "for the advancement of pro-
firiety and frugality in dress." A black
ist, made out by the pastor of the
church in which the society originated,
includes as articles to be avoided the
decollete dress and sleeveless bodice,
lorgnettes and useless trimmings.
"CUMBERS."
Th Very t,att Addition to
th
Tocab-
alary of Koelnty.
Two fair members of the 400 were
overheard discussing the merits of one
of their sisters iu society the other day
to this ell eet:
Yes, dear, she means very well,"
said the elder one, "but she really
doesn't know how. After all, she is a
climber, don't you knowP"
Yes, thnt is true," assented her
companion.
"Climber" Is the latest addition to
our vocabulary, says the N. Y. Sun.
Thus far it has been used only in the
upper ranks of swelldom, but with
such introduction tt will undoubtedly
soon be common property. Elbridgo
T. (Jerry the other day gave this ex
planation of its origin:
1 here ore in society, lie said, "some
newly admitted members who, with
the best intentions imaginable, are
never able to do things in just the
proper style. They are persons of
wealth, fairlv good "breeding, and pos
sessed of a desire to entertain. 'Ihey
try to establish a reputation as hos
pitable people, but they really don't
know how to entertain. With all the
good-humored witticisms that the
newspapers indulge in upon this sub
ject, it is nevertheless a fact that the
art of entertaining requires deep and
careful study as well as natural apti

have stated this, eveu way back to the
early days of Greece. Entertaining is
a science pure and si in pie, as my friend
McAllister will tell you.

is derived from Sir Walter Raleigh's
remark apropos of Queeu Elizabeth.
You will remember it:
"Fain would I climb, vet fear I to
fall.'
"A typical member of this class re
cently gave a dinner to a number of
persons in society. It was a very dull
affair. There was prodigality in
everything, but no tasto aud uo refine
ment. 1 he fellow amused me some
time thereafter by telling me that he
had no difficulty in getting up a fine
dinner. All that heliad to do was to
tell his butler and his chef to get up a
meal for so many persons, aud he
found it unnecessary to bother his head
further. There are few persons fortun
ate enough to possess chefs and butlers
of that kind, and his certainly were
not. Of the persons who attended the
dinner nine out of ten were displeased

nnd will never attend another. It
doesn't take long for the thorongh
members of society to know whether a
host or hostess is qualified to entertain,
and the -climbers' always find it diffi
cult to secure guests. I think the new
title a very lilting one."
He Surprised Kliza.
John Roberts of North East is a
farmer well enough to do. lint he had
always been eccentric about his clothes,
says a Salamanca letter to the N. Y.
Sun. Until a week or so ago he had
not been known to buy a new suit of
clothes for a year. The ones he wore
had been so often patched and re
patched that no bit of the original
warp and woof was visible. This per
sonal slovenliness on the part of her
husband was a source of constant an
noyance to Mrs. Roberts, who is a
woman of exceptional neatness. She
long ago became so ashamed of his up
pearauee that she would no longer ac
company him to town to flu her trad-
insr. This singular characteristic of
the farmer was not owing lo penurious
ness, for he is a liberal man in bis deal
ings. A few davs ago he went to town to
do a little trading, nnd. to the utter
astonishment of the town. he purchased
a new suit of clothes for himself. His
new clothes were done up in a pack
age, and he placed the package on the
wagon seat beside him when he started
home that night. Farmer Robberts had
got half way home when a brilliant
idea struck him. He stopped his horse
on a brdsre where the road crosses the
branch.
Ttldoit.bv gum!" he said. 'Til
do it and su'prise Eliza!"
Thereupon the farmer rose up in the
wagon and began to take off the patched
and repatched clothes he had worn so
long. As he removed a garment he
tossed it into the creek until he had
tosssed them all in and had nothing on
but his shirt.
"Great apple sassP he exclaimed,
"But won't Eliza be su'prised."
Then Farmer Roberts reached for the
package that had his new clothes in.
It wasn't on the scut. Farmer Roberts
got down aud reached under the seat.
The package wasn't there. Then he
felt all over the bottom of the wngon,
The package wasn't anywhere on the
bottom. Farmer Roberts rose up in
the wagon aud looked back along the
pitch-dark road.
Then he climbed back in his seat nod
away the horses went for home. The
night was chillv aud there was three
miles to go. When Farmer Roberts
reached home and climbed out of bis
wagon he paused.
"The hull idee didn't work," said
he, "but I'll bet 9 that I su'prise
Eliza!"
That he did no one doubts, but when
he got up in the morning and went
out to the barn. clad in the hired man's
overalls, and saw his package of new
clothes hanging by its siring on the
brake-handle at the side of the wagon
he was a little surprised himself.
The Deserted Hast.
Ihe other eveu in? 1 came upon a
party of gentleman just returned from
their summer outings and comparing
notns thereupon, says a writer in the
N. Y. Star.
"I traveled about throusrh eastern
Massachusetts a good tleal last sum

most desolate. In certaiu parts of old
Plymouth County there are acres of

Occasionally the ruins of an old house

times a well with a broken curb and
dark, scum-covered water, visible

out of it.
ilatl 13cen Wasting Time.
"I hope, Mary," he said, gently.
"the suddenness and intensity of my
love will not come upon you like a
shock. Fossibly," he continued, and
still more gently, and taking her hand
with respectful tenderness, "you are
not prepared for this avowal. The
language of passion may be new to
you. Am I the first man, my dear,
timid little girl, to address you in this
wav?'
No, Horace," she replied. "I have
never spokeu of my past life because
there are portions of it full of pain and
sadness. But I was beloved -once by
as good a man as the sun ever shone

"Yes, Horace. I why, Horace, dear!"
For the young man had a trained her
to his heart with a force that took her
breath away. He had been wasting
valuable time, adds the Milwaukee
Journal in conclusion.
RELIC OF A PAST GENERATION-
Tha Olclent Inhabitant nfx Rhoda Island
M)-i a Cruel It-th.
The oldest inhabitant of Rhode Isl
nnd. who had been backiug a Into!
local history slowly about the woods
nnd pastures at Potter's Hill, met death
iu a cruel way one afternoon recently.
says a Westerly correspondent of the
N. Y. Sun. On that day Harvey C.
Burdick was swinging a sharp brush
knife iu the bushes of wild sprout land,
and accidentally hit something hard
and something hollow. He had cleft a
very big, old fashioned, and handsome
box I ut ile, and a shell roof was taken
completely off the old fellow's house.
Tho shell "was wrinkled, old looking.
aud parti-colored. Mr. Burdick ex
amined the turtle closely. On the bot
tom shell, near nnd below the joint,
were tho figures 1776. and right above
was the time worn, inscription, J. P.
On a lower part of the shell, and still
more worn, were repealed the letters.
J. P.. and near them the figures, 1806.
Mr. Burdick recognized the turtle at
oncn, and was sorry he had cut it up,
for it was the best-known turtle in
Rhode Island. Scores of farmers had
met it at different times wandering
about the fields of southern Rhode Isl
and, and no one tried to harm it. It
was known as J. P.'s turtle. Like the
wandering Jew it was alwavs moving
on, had seen many generations of
Rhode Island people pass awav, yet in
a hundred years had not seemed to
grow very old, and was still vigorous
and well.
Ihe letters J. v.. on the shell, were
the initials of Joseph Potter's name.
after whom the hill villago was named.
and who was the grandfather of Miss
Maria L. Potter of Potter's Hill and
Joseph H. Potter of Westerly. Joseph
Potter was 17 venrs old. and tho turtle
a matured animal when he cut the first
figures, 177G. in the turtle's shell, and
lie was 47 years old when iiu added the
other date, 180G. Joseph was bcrn in
li59 nnd died in 182 J. No one at
tempts to say just how old the turtle
was, but it is quite likely it was pad
dling about Rhode ls!aid when King
Philip, with his painted Indians in the
big swamp nt Hope. R. I., delied-the
warriors of Plymouth colony.
"If the turtle could have talked
said the village antiquarian of Potter's
Hill, "what a tale he might have no
folded! For interest and imiortance

1800. and that of eighty-four years.
from 180b to IH'JO. have not been par-
ailed In the history ot the world."

trouble of dropping them in the box on

Mrs. Robiusou told rue subsequently
that she received the postal card.
"And, to take another instance, when
we had another carrier ou our street

day aud asked him if he had left any

of the Japanese cars have a separate
comparttnont for non-smokers this is a
mere concession to foreigners, for Jap
anese women are almost as mvariably
addicted to the use of tobacco as the
men, and one of tin; most novel sights
to be witnessed iu these ears is that of
a woman, young or old, taking a smoke.
Japanese pipes, as used bv both men
and women, are not as large as a
thimble about the size of a Chinese
opium pipe, and hold about as much
tobacco as makes a pinch of snuff.

knocks the bowl ngainst her wooden
shoes or closs, so that the glowiug
ashes fall in a lump ou the lloor. Sho
immediately refills the pipe, but does
not relight it with a match, but tries
to pick up the lump of glowing ashes
with the bowl, which requires skill and
practice. But after a few attempts she
generally succeeds, whereupon sue has
three or more wlutfs; and tins process
is repeated several times before the
pipe and poucu are put away to rest ioi
an hour. The men smoke iu the same

iuto the habit of smoking cigarettes
and cigars, mostly imitation goods done
up under foreign labels, although tiiere
is no good reason for thi, as some
very good tobacco is raised in Japan.

, Mischievous Types.
If the witty ladv who wrote about
'the total depravity of inanimate
things" had been a proofreader she
would have said the most depraved of
all are the types. Only llio-ie behind
the scenes know what unceasing vigi
lance is required to prevent them from
doing mischief.
Some years ago an editor at the
south, wishing to congratulate General
l illow after his return from Mexico as
a battle-scarred veteran, was made by
the types to characterize him as a
battle-scared veteran."
The indignant general, rushing into
the editorial sauctum, demauded an
explanation, which was given, and a
correction promised iu the next day's
paper.
Judge of the editor s feelings on the
morrow, when, as if to heap horrors
upon horror's head, he found the gen
