whh twelve yenrs old. His father
kept a grocery, also was superinten
dent of the Mission Sunday-school
held every Sunday afternoon in the
mission chapel on the outskirts of Ihe
tow n, win re all the rolling-mill em
ploy os lived. Peter’s father was a
di4i.Mb looking man, with long side
whiskers, and, generally speaking, «
pious tone of voice, His mother was
more robust. She wore a black lace
bonnet with purple flowers, a
water fall- it was then at the begin¬
ning of the seventies and taught a
class of boys m the same Sunday
school- Peter, of course, being in the
clftHn. They were a good family;
thoroughly well respected in the town
and fairly prosperous. Groceries are
necessities; Mr. Woodburn provided
for a good class of patrons, lie owned
his homo and had a modest bank ac
count. He believed in education and
Peter was kept close at his books.
Peter did not dislike his books; he
was fond of reading. He studied well
and passed high examinations. From
the public schools he went into the
Academy and got a taste of mathe¬
matics and higher classics, He had a
great notion, too, for modern lan¬
guages aud his parents fostered it.
An old professor took him iu hand aud
found him an apt pupil. When Peter
•w as seventeen he w hs thought so much
of by the Young Men’s Christian As¬
sociation that they made him librarian
at their library, to his infinite joy.
It was a, well-selected library and
Peter lead and read onmivorouslv.
When lie was nineteen lus father died.
Peter and his mother were alone in
the world. She was an amiable, mid¬
dle aged soul— very proud of her boy
and very content with him. He was
quiet, studious, industrious. He spent
his evenings at home with her, and
read aloud a great deal, Of course,
he frequently read fiction—generally
English novels of higher class English
life. Often lie would discuss what ho
read with his mother. Once he laid
down his hook with a sigh, and said
almost sadly : “Ob, mother, how de¬
lightful it must be to live in an old,
old house, where you grandfather and
great-great-grandfather have lived be¬
fore you. It must bo delightful to
trace away back in your ancestry and
know who they all wi re. Me can’t do
that in America. For instance, mother,
you don’t know much about your great
grandfather, do you, now?
Hhe good woman shook her head.
“No that is, well, I don’t know about
all of thorn. You see I had two grand¬
fathers and ves, I guess I must have
had four great-grandfathers, But
about as far as I cun go is my grand¬
father on my mother's side -that’s
your great grandfather ; he lived down
to Middle lurks and was a. cobbler.
But he wn* a real good man ; read his
Bible all the time he worked.”
Peter drew another deep sigh. “I’ll
go on reading the next chapter, now,
l think. he said, for his mother’s
recollections were not to his taste.
Another time he tried to find out
something about his father's ancestors.
But of those lus mother could tell him
little, except that his father, like her
selt. ha 1 been orphaned at a rather
ago. 1 heiv was an uncle of his
s out in California—might be
\ory rich b\ tins time, but she didn't
know.
\Vuh another sigh Peter gave tip
trying to investigate. He simply went
on conducting his father’s business
h„ 1 laying aside a little money, and
patronizing the library where he was
still librarian during certain hours of
the day-such as he could best spare
from the grocery.
When he was lacking just a few days
of coming of ago. he lmd the great
misfortune to lose his mother. He
knew it was a great, an irreparable
misfortune. He was now alone in the
world; his b.-st friend was none for
ever. H - f It a great deal of grief in
a quiet way. He shut up the little
house and went to live at the hotel,

year it began to dawn upon him that :

or other. j
\\ ith this idea in his head he came ,
East—it was June—and went to stay ;
at a delightful and fashionable w'ater
ing place on Ihe Jersey coast. Eligible
men v »-rc not plenty that year, and
Mr. Woodbnrh—he always registered
as Mr. P. I). Woodburn, for it seemed
to lum that Peter was not exactly an
American name and that Pierce was
very much more musical ami quite as
easil y written—and lie had heard his
mother say that his father’s mother’s
maiden name was Delamater—Mr.
Woodburn was very much in demand.
He was a tall, fine-looking fellow and
reported very rich.
The girl that most attracted him,
and there were very many fine girls
there, was a Miss Ruth Brett, of Phila¬
delphia. She was tall, slender, grace¬
ful iu dancing and swimming, charm¬
ingly well bred, according to Peter’s
notions—acquired from his novel read
l,l H —modest and dutiful, vet not sim
pering. Peter soon had fallen head
! over ears in love with Ruth Brett.
There was no opposition. Mrs. Brett
i gave cordial verbal consent and bless
j I ing; aud Peter Mr. was Brett in wrote sort his of paradise. approval—
a
And yet, underneath it all was a sort
°f gnawing apprehension of the possi¬
bility of the Bretts at some time de¬
manding the history of his ancestry.
Were they not Philadelphia folks? And
was that not the terrible—the crucial
test? Who was your grandfather?
Was it not strange they had not al
ready insisted on knowing?
The more he thought of it the more
he lay awake nights. At length he
could no longer endure the strain. He
must be prepared for any emergency,
The idea came to him ono night that
if one must make oneself, one might
as well make one’s ancestry, There
could be no great particular harm in
it, seeing that it was only to lie used
as a matter of reference.
The next morning he took pencil
and paper and prepared a book of
lineage. The only names he knew,
Clinton and Morris on liis mother’s
side, Woodburn and Delamater on his
father’s, were excellent. What he did
know he told no lies about; what he
did not know might have been true as
easy ss not — for all lie knew. To be
sure he purposely forgot to mention
the great-grandfather shoemaker who
read his Bible constantly while cob¬
bling. His father, George Washburn,
he made descend gracefully from
Puritan gentlefolk through a gentle¬
manly line of New England farmers to
emerge n “merchant”—he did not say
“grocer.” His mother, also from
English stock, with just a slight drop
of Huguenot blood, to account for
preferring the name Pierre.
When, after several mornings’ work,
Mr. Woodburn had completed this an¬
cestry in pencil mark, lie very natuU
ally knew it pretty well by heart.
There were blank pages iu his
family Bible—apart from those where
the entry of his parents’ marriage was
made aud that of his birth and his
brother’s. Cpon these pages he copied
carefully in pale, old-fashioned ink
the precious lineage he had labored so
hard to construct.
Days passed. At the proper time
the subject was brought up of family,
and Mr. Woodburn casually mentioned
his ancestral record in the old Bible,
and after some persuasiou gave it to
his betrothed for perusal.
The effect was excellent. The Bretts
regarded him with new veneration—
at least the parents did. As for Ruth,
it seemed not to make so much differ
enee.
Bur some few days later something
else transpired. A letter,forwarded from
Denver, came to Peter Woodburn with
news that his father’s uncle, the one
liis mother had once told him o ? , had
discovered that his grandnephew was
a fine, prosperous fellow, The old
man, Delamater. was coming East and
wanted to meet, Peter. Of course Peter
was glad to hear from the old man,
who, it seemed, was an old bachelor
and well off.
Iu due time old Mr. William Del.v
mater came East and pnt up at the
same seaside hotel and, of course, was
presented to the Bretts, Peter had
taken pains to meet him iu New York
aud see what he was like in advance.
The old man had passed muster very
creditably. He had lived iu San Fran¬
cisco and had very good ways, dressed
well and was not ungrammatical by
any means.
He took a great fancy to ButhBret
and they became great friends, The
old man was a capital story teller and
used to entertain Ruth's mamma for
hours down at the beach while Ruth
bathed or promenaded. One might
almost have supposed that Peter would
take * certain precautions
. in the matter
of a hint to his grand-uncle ns to the
matter of “family” and Philadelphia
prejudices. But Peter omitted this,
And so the mischief was wrought.
They had gone down to the beach
one morning and found there was no
bathing. ensconced'herself It.was verv rough. Mrs.
Biett had iu her
beach chair, old Mr. Delamater had
made himself comfortable at her side,
Rath was loitering about, and Peter
Woodburn was some distance away
smoking aud looking out at the ocean,
Suddenly Peter saw flving ‘ ^ toward him
his fiancee.
“Pierre, Pierre, quick,” she whis
pered. “Quick, take your uncle
awav !” She was white and seared
looking.
-What’, tl.e matter?" he asked.
"Oh, I-I'll tell you later. Only
take him awf.y-qnick!"
! Peter strode over to the old man.
“Uncle, quick, come along ; there's
, the queerest looking thing down there
—down where those men are. I’d
hardly ask the ladies to go just yet—
i there’s such a crowd. Quick, uncle.”
And he dragged him away.
“Uncle, for Heaven’s sake, what
were you talking about to Mrs.
Brett?”
“Talking about? Why nothing in
i the world—let s see. O, yes, she be

“ W hat do you mean, Ruth'?”
“W by, your uncle was just giving
you away for all he was worth. I have tc

“And—Ruth—you —you couldn’t

Woodburn’s voice shook.
“Bless your old heart, Pierre!
Listen ; anyone around to hear? Why,
you know mamma’s father was just a
plain dry-goods-store man—in—in
Camden. But don’t tell. Only just
make your uncle hold his tongue.”
“Then everything is all right?” The
color leaped back into Peter’s cheeks.
“Why, of course. Wasn’t mamma
cute? That’s the real Yaukee word.
She pretended not to have heard any
thing he said. All she remarked was:
‘Dear me!’ The old gentleman is a!
ways most garrulous when the wind
blows away from me, and I can’t catch

Peter Woodburn burst out laugh

Showed His Gratitude.
A good story about a lawyer is go
iug the rounds. It seems that a tramf
was indicted for stealing a watch. He
was arraigned and pleaded not guilty.
Having no money and being without
funds and a total stranger, the court
assigned his defense to the attorney in
question. The tramp was as guilty as
a man ever was, but as the attorney
was young in practice and desirous ot
grinding off some of his wire edges
against the District Attorney he ac
cepted the task.
Nothing daunted, the young at
torney rose before the jury to sum up
his case. Providence had endowed
him with a tongue capable of almost
anything. He had his address at his
tongue’s end, and the manner in which
he reeled it off established his name in
the community in characters as in
effaceable as the rock ribs on old
Gibraltar. He held the “twelve men
tried and true spellbound. ihey
gazed at him in open-mouthed
wonder. Alternately they laughed
and cried, and people in the audience
followed their example. It is said that
it took the jury just eight minutes to
whitewash the tramp and provide him
with wings and a lialo. Ihe verdict
was for acquittal.
The tramp, so thoroughly surprised
and overcome with emotion that ho
could hardly speak, rose from his seat,
the tears streaming down his cheeks,
There was stillness in the courtroom.
“Mr. Lawyer,” he exclaimed,brokenly,
“you don’t know me—an’ I don’t know
you. I-I-want to thank you. Li¬
ain’t got no money, but—but—here’s
that watch.”—Utica Observer.
Antiquity of the Trade Mark
Trade marks are understood to In
nearly as old as the industry of the
human race. Ancient Babylon had
property symbols, and the Chinese
claim to ha ye trade marks 1000 years
before Christ. Guttenburg, the in
ventor of printing, had a lawsuit about
a trade mark, and won it. As early as
1300 the English Parliament author
ized trade marks, and the laws of the
United States have also protected
them. Extraordinary means have been
required at all times to guard against
the fraudulent use of marks of manu
factnrers. If there were no means of
identifying tlie trade mark the best
goods at once lose their value. This
was discovered very early, and it is
deemed probable that the successors of
Tubal Cain were the first to use dis¬
tinctive marks on their manufactures.
This is about as near as it is possible
to arrive at data. —Brooklyn Eagle.

some applause the speaker announced
that the deadlock had been broken and

Two high stacks of thick books on
the desk of Senator Voorhees, when
the senate met Monday morning, indi¬
cated that the eloquent Indianian was
ready to pull the lanyard of the open¬

The first two hofirs of the morning
were consumed by routine business,
but as the hands on the senate clock
moved around towards the hour of two,
the senate galleries commenced to fill
up. It was 1 :50 o’clock when Senator
Voorhees openedthe discussion.
The Behring sea bill passed the sen¬

similar measure was being passed in
the British parliament.

of Georgia, being a protest of Baptist
churches at Atlanta, Ga., against the
constitutional amendment proposed by
Mr. Morse recognizing Deity in the
preamble to the constitution. It was
referred to the judiciary committee.
