his hat, fashioned a quarter ot a cen
tury before, showed long and close
acquaintance with sunshine and storm.
He was quite old, too, although he
stepped quite nimbly up the gravel
walk, and tired, for he had tramped
many miles under (he broiling heat of
that July sun. Withal, there was a
look of shrewdness and knowledge ot
the world dial seemed to belie nis in
digent appearance. •*
Ho glanced about him at the well
cultivated fields, the comfortable dwel
ling, the commodious barnes and the
numerous outhouses, and muttered :
‘‘Very well situated* whoever they
are. I will stop and rest awhile if they
will allow such a ragsling in the house.”
And the last thought seemed to af
ford him pleasure.
He walked up to the front door,
which was open ; but the sound ol
voices within drew his attention, anti
he stopped, with his hand yet raised
to rap.
“John Hayward, I’m ashamed o!
you 1” spoke a harsh, motahe, female
voice. “That my son should so forget
himself as to sloop to even look at my
hired help, much more to make love to
her, is ridiculous! shameful! What
is she 5 Everbody knows that Harriet
Sinclair is nothing but a beggar, at the
best! and how do we know that she is
even as good as that ? Vet you per
sist ill seeing s something allraciive
aboui. her. For my pari,; i do not
see how you can even look at her,
while that splendid Maria Dalton is
here! \es, John,splendid is the word,
and she is rich loo ! You know her
uncle allows her an annuity sufficient
to keep you both in style, and when
he dies she will have the whole. 1
cannot see into it ; and John Hayward,
i will not have it i i will send the girl
fchuckling to himself as he saw the
dark cloud gathering on Maria’s face.
•‘1 am very tired, too, and quite hun
gry.”
~ The cloud grew blacker; but ere
the storm burst, John Hayward enter-
I ed the room.
Instantly Maria’s lace was all sun-
| shine. <•
“The storm has passed for the pres
ent,” thought the little man ; “but
there is no knowing how long we shall
have fair weather, so I will make the
most of it.” Then to John Hayward :
“Ijust stopped in to rest a moment and
get a bite to eat.”
“You are welcome sir,” said John,
frankiy. “Hatty, will you get him a
lunch ? Or, perhaps you will stay to
tea ?”
“Thank you, sir; but I will go on
to the village, where that lady tells me
there is a hotel."
Maria shot him a look out of her
flashing eyes that call ’d a smile to his
face. But John did not see it ; for he
was watching Hatty as she flitted here
ami there, preparing the lunch for the
visitor, Then he and Maria left the
kitchen,
The man was apparently very’ hun
gry, judging from the length ot time
required to satisfy himself. Anil all
die time he was plying Hatty with
questions about herself and her pa
rents, til! the poor girl began to think
he was crazy. But at length he arose
to go ; and with many thanks to Hat
ty, and a promise losee her again soon,
he took his departure
A week passed, and the old man
again slocnl at the door oft he Hayward
farmhouse. It was quite dark, and he
sat down on the stone step, listening
to the joyous music and the happy
laughter that came from the house.
Presently a little figure flitted past
him, and he recognized Hatty Sinclair.
Me hurried after her, and soon over
look her.
“You have left them at last?” said
he inquiringly. “Where are you go
ing ?”
1 cannot tell,” she said stopping

He cautiously made his way around
to the rear door, which he found open

you a falsehood. But never uiind

I her Uncle James. “He does not de-
L-erve to be happy, if he does marry
| that empiy head ! But he will not;
| so we will harry on to the village, and
; take the train for my” home.”
There was much consternation at
the Hayward taimhouse the next
morning. Mrs. Hayward was really
vexed when she learned that Hally
had left her for she had ben very faith-
ul ; hut withal was a feeling of relief
that the ‘ mrl” was out of John’s way.
woold not find Hatiy ; and his letters
which came regularly, strengthened
that belief.
Then there came a letter, stating
that he would be at home soon, but
saying nothing whatever about Hatty;
from which they judged that he had
failed, and given up the search.
The Monday following an elegant
carriage, drawn by two thoroughbreds,
slopped before the Hayward farmhouse
and a servant hurried up to the house.
“For Miss Maria Dalton,” said he
placing a card in Mrs. Hayward’s
hand.
Maria was in the parlor in a flutter
of excitement. She gave a cry ot joy
when she read the name.
“James Sinclair, my uncle,” said
she proudly. “Mrs. Hayward will
you have the kindness to tell the ser
vant to show him in.”
An elderly gentleman alighted, and
walked slowly towards the house.
Maria could not wait to see this rich
uncle, and she met him at the door
“My niece, Maria Dalton !” said the
gentleman.
“Yes, unde, said Maria leading the
way to the parlor.
“I can smp but a few moments,”
said Mr. Sinclair, after being present
ed to Mrs. Hayward. “I have been
looking up my connections since my
return from India, and, quite fortunate
ly, chanced to find another niece. Per
haps you may remember her—Hatty
Sinclair.”
Mrs. Hayward gave a scream, and
Maria, to hide her chagrin and vexa
tion, covered her face with her hand
kerchief.
Mr. Sinclair continued :
“Hally and her husband are now in
the carriage. I will call them.”
John Hayward soon appeared with
Hatty leaning on his arm ; and it Ma
ria spoke the tiuili when she said that
Hatty had not even a pretty face to
recommend her, then the face must
have changed, lor she looked surpass
ingly beautiful, as she stood there be
side her noble husband.
“Mother, 1 have found her,” said
John, “and brought her back, but not
to stay. She does not like this part of
the country, and we have consented to
live with Mr. Sinclair. We shall ex
pect to see you there quite often.”
The poor woman was so much as
tonished that she could not utter a
word, and Mr. Sinclair look advantage
of the silence to call Maria back, for
she was slipping out of the room.
“One moment more, Maria,*’ said
he. “Iain sorry to disappoint you,
but when I was here in the summer—
by-lhe-way, 1 found that hotel—I saw
that you were not a proper person to
be intrusted with wealth, so I have
concluded to let Hatty have it. I hvae
also decided to discontinue the liberal
allowance which you have enjoyed,
until such time as you shall have learn
ed to treat every person, however
humble, with becoming respect. That
is all.”
With a low bow to her -and Mrs.
Hayward, he left the room, followed
by John and Hatty.
“Oh! why didn’t I know this !” ex
claimed Maria bursting into tears.
Mrs. Hayward did not feel so bad at-
U r the first shock was over, lor “John
had married rich.**
She became a frequent visitor at
John’s palatial house, where all, for
Jqhn’s sake, gave her a cordial wel
come.
Mi-ria returned to her own home, ac
cepting the change that her own folly
had wrought, with a grace that was
deserving of praise. Her uncle took
pity on her, and allowed her a small
annuity. She never married, nor for
got that unfortunate summer.
Maria Dallon pretended to be great*
Iv shocked, and hinted fin various'sub
tle ways, thaw nothing better could have
been expecleu.
John was very much grieved, and
came very near being angry with his
Minister Washburne in Disgrace.
Position oj the administration in relation
to the French Republic.
The Louisville Courier-Journal of
Tuesday has the following special :
Washington, September 12.—Min
ister Washburpc is in disgrace at the
State Department, and he has been
informed by Secretary Fish that the
manner in which he expressed his sen
timents at the formation of the French
Republic was highly undiplomatic.—
The impression 13 that Mr. Wash
burne become entirely too wild, and
in his enthusiasm at the formation of
the Republic permitted his diplomatic
character to be overshadowed by his
personal views and feelings. This is
distasteful to Mr. Fish, and also to the
President, neither of whom had any
desire lo be swll in the recognition of
the French Republic. They prefer to
wait a little longer, to see what new-
political features may be developed,
for they are not sure that King
William will not see fit lo restore
Napoleon to the French Republic
throne. A hasty recognition of the
French Republic migh; place the Uni
ted States in a somewhat embarrassing
position; and Mr. Washburn, it will
be remembered, was exceeding en
thusiastic, and made quite a speech to
the populace ; and Mr. Fish wants it
understood that he did not speak
authoritatively, ard that his utterances
must not be taken as the well-consid
erate views of his Government. Mr.
Washburn, it is well known, is a
special pet of the President, and the
latter did not like to bear down upon
him too hard, but Secretary Fish
persuaded him that Washburne’s utter
ances required to be corrected, if not
absolutely contradicted. In fact, it
has transpired that no decided stand
was taken by our Government on the
subject of the war, but. that the
dispatches to Ministor Bancroft and
other foreign Ministers were of a very
equivocal nature.
The Superstition of Sailors.—
Some months since, a *”orthy Connec
ticut clergyman, having been abroad
on a “bionchital” tour took passage
home in the brig , M New York.
The voyage was an exceedingly
rough one—it was nothing but storms,
—and the sailors, knowing that there
was a clergy man on board, declared
that ‘the old parson’ was the
cause of them all.
One night, during a terrible hurri
cane, as ihe good man lay in his berth,
he overheard the chief mate say to the
captain : “The men work well, but
they swear that the tempest is raised
because that old parson is on
board.’
“Well,” replied the captain, with a
tremendous oath, ‘I begin to believe
it myself. Curse the old fellow! I
wish he wa3 at the bottom of the
The Career of • Female RefeWr ia Sexlee.
A woman, named Feficana Yogas,
was sentenced to death,at Talpa.

beyond the limits of the city,and killed
him ; but before doing so she forced
him to kneel at her feet airtd opened
her bosom, ex|K>sed her sex, and
claimed to be the better manr of the
two. This crime she confessed at the
time of her trial, it being unknown
previously. It would take up too
much space to tell the : many crimes
which have been committed by this
woman, and we pass lo tire last, and
the one for which she has been con
demned—which was the robbery of
four thousand dollars in gold and the
jewelry of Sr. Acost, on the night of
the 15th of August last. This family
had recently moved in the house, and
Feliciana was employed as a domestic.
Public curiosity was much excited
to see Feliciana, and the court room
and the streets were crowded with
people. She was cool and collected,
and declined lo sit down when brought
before the court but remained stand
ing without perceptible emotion, ex
cept the occasional quiver of the lips
in answer to a question. Her voice
was low and perfectly' intelligible.—
Upon being asked if she knew with
what offence she was charged she re
plied : “I suppose for that on the
table.” On the table was the stolen
jewelry. On being asked how she
came by it, she replied that Fiores had
given it to her. “With, what object
did he give it to you?” was asked.—
She answered that she might keep silent
as to various crimes which she knew
had been committed by him. The
Court sentenced her to die, and she
listened to the sentence without the
slightest emotion.

There was quite a pause

Then came the answer sharp and
malicious :
“Yes, we are !”
“Oh 1”
This exclamation came from Hatty,
and it was so full of pain and despair
that the old man involuntarily stepped

tears which were streaming down her

Neither of them saw the old man,
and he spoke to make his presence
known.
“Good day, ladies. I ve been tak
ing a little tramp hereabouts, and, as
I got rather tired, I thought I would
stop in and rest a little-
“You are welcome,” said Hatty,
turning her tearful lace toward*him.
But Maria spoke tar*ily :
“We do not keep a hotel. You will
find one at the village.”

her and bring her back.”
“She nevei comes inside of my

“The artful beggar!”
“Then 1 never shall,” said John—

He went out to the stables, and sad
dling a horse, galloped off to the vil
lage^ There he learned that Hatty
had taken the[trainjin company with an
old man. John knew by the descrip
tion that lie was the same who called
at the farm.
“Thank God that she has found
even so humble a friend as he !”—
murmured John.
He wrote a hasty note to his moth
er, telling her that he was off after

Revision of tne Bible—The Proposed
Work in England.—The London cor
respondent of the New York Times
says:
The Convocation of York refuses lo
join with that of Canterbury in bring
ing about a icvision of the English
Bible. For this reason a royal commis
sion is out of the question, but the
Convocation of Canterbury has resolv
ed to undertake the work, and ask the
aid of all religious denominations
throughout the English seaking world—
The Dean ot Canterbury wish lo in
clude the Jews also, so far as the Old
Testament is concerned. Therefore,
every one who has an amendment to
propose should send it to the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, post paid. The
present version was a long lime in pre
paration, and after it was published it
was a full half century before it came
into general use. A new version might
take longer, considering the violent
posillion of men,like Ford Shaftesbury,
to any change. It i» said that an ad
equate revision would on an average
change one word in every verse of the
New Testament ; and many whole
took him away on his search.

J. Raymond, in the address which
was prepared by him for the Fhildel-
phia Convention in August, 1899 oays :
“No people ever existed whoes loyal
ty and faith such treatment, long con
tinued, would not alienate and im
pair ; and the ten millions of Americans
who live in the South would be unworthy
citizens of a free country, degenerate
sons ofa heroic ancestry, unfit ever
to become guardains of the rights and
liberties bequeathed to us by the Oth
ers and founders of the republic, if
they could accept, with uncomplaining
submissive ness, the humillatlGh thus
sought to be imposed o^on tbem.”
Whereat the heart of the man began
to sink within him. He knew not
what lo do, he rolled over on this side,
then on that. At last, a sudden idea
struck him, and he rose from his berth
and said :
*1 will even do as Jonah did—I will
go tip on deck, and tell these misguided
men that they may throw me into the
sea, if by so doing they believe that
their lives and their owners’ property
can be saved.—But,’ he added, with
a sigh, ‘1 fear me, there be no whales
hereabouts.’
The good parson 'dressed hmiself,
and made his way, as best he could, to
the cabin gangway, the brig-rocking
and pitching at a furious rate,
After many repeated attempt she
reached the deck. The wind howled,
the rained fell in tor rents, the sea ran
mountains high, and a wave breaking
upon the deck, the spray flew over the
parson, and wellnigh choked him.
The old man stood a moment in sus
pense. At the expiration of a moment,

down the stairway, saying to him-

pleasant night for it.’
HOW TO FALL ASLEEP.
We came across following receipt
for wakefulness, yesterday, and pub
lish it for the benefit of “all whom it
may concern. Says the discoverer of
the process : :
I turn my eyeballs as far to the right
or the left, or upwards, without pain,
and then commence rolling them slow
ly, with that divergence from a direct
line or vision around to their sockets,
and continue this until I fall " ieep ;
which occurs generally within three
minutes, always within five at most.—
The immediate effect of this procedure
differs from that of any other that I
fall asleep ; which tccurs generally
within three minutes, always within
five at most. The immediate effect
of this procedure differs from that of
any other that I have ever heard to
procure sleep, It not merely diverts
thought into a new channel, but actu
ally suspends it. Since I became
aware of this, I have endeavored in
numerable times, while thus rolling
my eye3, to think upon a particular
subject, and even upon that which kept
me awake, but 1 woufd not. As long
as they were moving argund my mind
was blank. If any one doubts this, let
him try tbe experiment for himself.

verses, and some that are considered
very important ones, would be left out
altogether. Still, as far as I can see^
the errors are not so important as many
suppose, and the interpolation are, in
nine cases in ten, merely explanatory,
and many have been first introduced
as marginal notes, and afterward care
lessly embodied in the text." But in a
rapidly-changing language every trans

Merpphis Av-
friend of the
Hard hit.— The
alanche “wings” our
Constitutionalist in the following artis
tic style :
One of the relics of Bourbonism, the
Augusta Constitutionalist, has found
still another test of Democracy. It urg^s
the Georgia Congressional Conventions
to “choose a nominee regardless of the
iron-clad oath and disability outrage,
with the determination to send him
back to Washington as often as the
House of Representative should refuse
to receive him.” It should add another
plank to its platform and declare that
all who protest against this insanity
are Radicals. It any of the Constit
utionalist's followers adopt this plat
form we suggest, as the next thing in
order, a first-class financial commitee
to provide traveling expenses.-
Poor Carltotta !—The announce
ment ot Napoleon’s first defeat roused
the Empress Carlotla from the stupor
which has possessed her mind since
her husband’s execution, and with the
continuance of the Emperor’s mis
fortunes,she lias steadily been regaining
her sanity so that the physicians now
confidently predict her complete re
covery. So the papers says.
A Jewish Opinion of Christ.—
The learnd Jewish Rabbi, Dr. Isaac M.
W ise.thus concludes a recent lecture in
Chicago :
Jesus was a living reality,an enthusias
tic and thoroughly Jewish patriot, who
understood fully the question of the age
and the problems of His people, and
tne it
felt the invincible desiie lo solve them.
There was no originality in His words.
His disciples estranged Him to the
Jew. His followers made of the cross
ther symbol of persecution. Therefore
the Jew's did not think of reclaiming
Him, who was actually theirs, their
blood and their flesh, mind from their
mind, and intellect from their intellect.
He taught and practiced their law,
their morals and their wisdom, and felt
their woes and afflictions. He longed to
be their Redeemer and was crucified.
He unfurled their banner, and became
the captain of a mighty host. His mar-
tyrdon became the cause of a new era
in the world’s history.”
Tbe Figaro says that the Prussians
shoot any of the Franc-tireurs that fall
into (hair hands, and that this would

prisoners. ■
