A KTQ’i'f or ftVERT DAY-LIFE. * A foif years since a lady purchased a home iriflto beautiful village of Mil!!'pv■ 1 /Tf> ..nit ih'.rty-live miles from Ha si. ;i., a. < V billed for fresh !;•. and quiet, scenes; nntl. doubtless she would have fouutl all the happiness j ‘hat she sought in this ru-al retreat, had not the nlace been haunted by that terrible spectre —scandal “Have you seen the new arrival ?” said Mrs. Graves to her neighbor, Mr3. Wood, a few days alter the stranger took possession of Fern Dell, as the little place she had purchased was now called. A curl of the lip and shrug of the shoulders was all the reply made by Mrs. Weed, but in the gestures Mrs. Graves saw, or supposed she saw, a sufficient reason for shunning the ac quaintance of the stranger. Mrs. Graves, who was very jealous and suspicious, translated the lan guage in her own way. "I have no doubt,” said she to her husband, “that she had a bad repu tation in the city. She has come here dressed in <ieep mourning, but who knows whether she ever had a husband or not ? And if she had, her wearing black is no sign he’s dead, in my opinion.” The next day quite a crowd had gatheied in the stoic of Mr. Graves, waiting for the arrival of the mail, which was due about this hour. The stranger came in to make some trifling purchases, and was stared at by the people, as strangers always are in small villages. After she left the store, semo re marks were made about her ladylike appearance. “Yes. she appears enough like a ladv,” said Mr. Graves; “but my wife thinks her reputation is nono of the best.” Customers entering, nothing more was said at that time, but the fire of scandal was kindled—the story spread rapidly, each One telling it their own way. until there was not a person in the village but bad heard the rumor, and believed ii to be true. Days and weeks passed away, and the inmate of Fern D.-ll felt that fur some reason she was looked upon with suspicion and dislike. There was no hospitality, nothing saiil or done for which she could de mand an explanation. Every day seemed to increase the avoidance of her neighbors; and she, noticing this, ceased making over tures toward an acquaintance with them, sending to the city for her household supplies, and never com ing in contact with any save at church and even here she generally found a whole seat at her disposal. At last the stonn that had 9o long obscured (lie village horizon seemed about to burst over her head. There were low threats made of driving hot (torn the place, and the mob spirit seemed to be gathering Strength. About six months after the stran ger took possession of the cottage, a very handsome carriage, drawn by a span of sp'endid black horses, stop pod in front of her dwelling, and a tine looking man, about sixty years of age, with his wife and two daugh ters, were seen to alight nnd enter the house. Georgia. All the day and through the long evening there was heard the sound of many voices, mingled with the rip pling laughter of joyous hearts. The next day was Sunday, but this time the stranger did not sit alone. Annual Subwlption, $2,0 Strange looks nifipi'low murmured words yah through tj;c. congregation, and th" minister seemed'to share Hie surprise ofhis audience, and looked and preached as though under pain ful embarrassment. lie recognized in .the stranger a cLrgvmau whose reputation was world-wide—nono other ilian the di-- linguislicd president-of tho college ftoui which he had graduated. The president, remembered his for mor pupil, but it most be confessed that he was both surprised and dis appointed. He had given the young man credit .for individual talent, but tho sermon was a mere repetition ot poor plati tudes, and a tracking to produce public opinion, which showed a weak and little mind. After the service 1 was over the president waited a moment until the young minister came forward, and when the greetings were over he said kindly: “ATy sister wrote rno that Robert Martin was preaching here, but I did not connect the name with the mem ory of my former pupil.” “Your sister?” said the embarrass ed young mao. “You do not mean to say that the woman with whom you entrred church is your sister?” “And why m>t ?” It was the president’s turn to look astonished. Sure enough-, why not? What did he know against the wo man whom ah had been speaking evil of for the last half year? AL. “There is something about this matter that I cannot understand,” said the president. 1 ‘You do u6t mean to s .y that sister has been a re sident ol tjro village, and listened to your preaching for six months, with out your cailingjipon her ? The du ties of a minister are surely better defined”— “But I did not dare?” and the poor tnau stammered and siopned, ‘•‘Did not dare to call on my sister, the widow of Colonel Kimball ?” and the tinge of contempt was mingled jWith a look of surprise and indigna tion as he con'emplaied the abashed and crestfallen young preacher. After reaching his sister’s residence he. questioned here in regard to the mattei; hut she could only tell him that since her residence in the place she had been ‘ let. alone,” iu the full est acceptance of the term. to understand the why and wherefore of such a proceeding, he again demanded an explanation of the young pastor, who was finally compelled to admit that ho had sup. posed, from the gossip of the church members, that the woman was a very outcast from society, and that there had been talk of driving her from the place. “She will not care to remain,” said the president; “but before she goes I will sift this matter thoroughly;” and so he did, gathering up, link by link, the whole chain of scandal, until he j came to Mrs. Wood. But this she . utterly denied, and Mrs. Graves was obliged to confess that Mis. Wood had merely shrugged her shoulders and curled her lip when asked her opinion of their new neighbor. “Ah, indeed !” was the rejoinder of Mrs. Wood, “I remember of think ing she couldn't be much of a lady, as she wore faded delaine and did her own washing.” The president, preached on the tal lowing Sunday, and at the conclusion of his discourse, repeated the story of wrong, adding: ‘(Hi? gunyi 1 i.ota JrflUL ——— Published Every Friday. jftATiofl op stmrr.iPTioKi INCLUDING PORTAGE.

One of these men was relating me circumstance iu a street car, when a solemn-looking passenger bent for ward and inquired : “And did you succeed in resuscita ting him ?” “No, sir, we didn’t,” was the blunt reply. “We pulled him ashore, gave kim some whiskey, and he went oil as lively as a cricket. You don’t think I'd be mean enough to resuscitate a poor man, do you ?" The other didn’t sav. VALUE OF A DOLLAR. A few days since, Mr. Johnson, connected with the Long Branch Bank and whose residence is in Ma tawan, tound a one dollar bill in tho cars. He could not find the owner. A friend suggested to put it in some trust company tiro provision that it shall bear interest, which Merest shall be compounded every year, and at the end of two hundred years a hospital be erected with the product. Mr. Johnson smiled, and suggested that the amount was too small. Wo Imvo taken the trouble to reckon what that dollar would amount to, and that the final sum would be $131,072. Tiiis is reckoning at six per cent. Interest. Now, suppose Mr. Johnson should invest five dol lars more to endow tho hospital, rvo have the immense sum of $55,360 to forever keep the hospital in active! operation. Some will say, “two hun dred years, pshaw! that is too fay offyet money institutions ape now in existence in London that are more . than three hundred years old, and if a man is dead it will make little dif ference to him if the money he be queaths is invested iu two years or two hundred years. So we respect fully suggest that the dollar, togeth er with the additional five dollars, shall bo put out at interest to found tho Johnson Hospital, to be built at LoDg Branch in 2076, and all from the one dollar found in the Central railroad cars- —Asbury Parle Journal. A minister, going to visit one of his sick parishioners, asked him how ho rested during the night. “0, won dcronsly ill, sir,” he replied, “for mino eyes have not come together these tlirch nights.” “What is the reason of that ?” said the minister. “Alas! sir," said he, “because my nose was betwixt them.” “Pray, Mr. Professor, what is a periphrasis?” "Madam, it is simply a circumlocutory Cycle ot oiatorical sonorosity, circumscribing an atom of ideality, lost in verbal profundity.” “Thank you, sir.” “If I was as flat-footed as you ore I would not be afraid of slipping on. the sale-walk.” “Yes,” WkS tho re sponse, “some people are flat 911 ono end and some on another.” And th*a the first chap looked thoughtful, and went down street.
