After that time, if he suited Miss- Rich, who had the parish in charge, so to speak, who canvassed for mon ey to paint the church, looked up poor children for christening and Sunday school, exhorted the young people to join the confirmation The Three Rings. “We must have you in the choir," “Or he’s finding ‘tongues in trees he said. ; and sermons in stones’ out here.” “Susan Shaw in the ehoir: - ’ gasp-' But at sunset Mr. Lindsay stroll- Saladin was so great and so val- ed everybody on the way out of j ed back, with Susan on his arm, in iant a man that* by his merits he church. “Mr. Lindsay is bringing ! time to join them at tea, nd he and was raised to the throne of Babylon, her out.” j Susan made the coffee, and pitched and won the glory of many a con- “She’s Lueretia’s sister you know,” i the tunes they sang before the day j quest over both Christians and explained Miss Rich. i ended. \ -Saracens.

They even meditated an increase of salary as soon as he could be settled in the class, mapped out work for the sew- j parish, and Mr. briinm thought he ing society, and made the parish her hobby—if he suited Miss Rich, if he was High church enough for Miss Grimm and Low enough for Mrs. l’helps, if he believed with Dr. Blow in the doctrine of election why, then, they were sure to settle him. “What a capital wife Lucretia Shaw would make Mr. Lindsay,” vouchsafed Miss Rich, shortly after he adorned the Lennox pulpit. “-She is just the person for ;t parson’s wife —hustling and—” “I’m afraid she’d take the parish off your hands, Miss Rich,” answer ed Mrs. Phelps, who having no de sire to do the hard work which her neighbor loved, yet grudged her the credit of it. “Well, there’s work enough for two of us in the parish, Mrs. Phelps. I wouldn’t be a bit afraid but I’d git my share.” “To bn shure,” pursued Mrs. Phelps, “Lueretia’s smart, and 1 don’t believe in a pastor with a doll of a wife who can’t darn the chil dren's clothes, and is two feeble to get along without ‘help.’ ” “Yes,” put in old Mrs. Smith “she’d be no end of a stepmother to Mr. Lindsay’s hoy and if ever a boy neede 1 a stepmother, it’s him. Lu- cretia’s powerful smart, as you say, and she’d make him walk Spanish.” “Yes,” was the reply of Miss Rich; “a widower somehow needs a wife more’n anybody, to sympathize with him in his loss. I shouldn’t wonder if Lucretia would bring the boy up ti the ministry if she had her way.” “Between you and me,” said Mrs. Phelps, “1 think that the parson goes to the Shaws’ rather more than is necessary for the salvation of their souls.” “You can’t tell. Perhaps Lucre tia has doubts.” “And perhaps,” said Dr. Slow— “perhaps it’s Miss Susan.” Everybody laughed and cried ‘‘Miss Susan!” with fine irony in their tones. “Who ever heard of Susan having attention ?” asked Mrs. Phelps. “I’ve engaged Lucretia to em broider a new altar-cloth,” explain ed Miss Rich; “I raised the money for it last month—l tell you it’s like pulling teeth to get money out of this parish—and I suppose the parson has to advise her about the proper designs and things; Lucretia ain’t well drilled in symbols and such, you know.” In fact, everybody in Lennox had •decided that Mr. Lindsay should marry Lucretia, and perhaps Lu cretia had decided so too, for she was an everlasting time over that altar-cloth, and needed no end of advice and instruction; her igno rance and interest were quite touching. And Mr. Lindsay seem ed quite willing to spend his leis ure under the Shaws’ roof, and watch the sacred symbols growing under the white and shapely hands of Miss Lucretia. “That hand of Lueretia’s will be sure to do the business,” somebody had said. “Mr. Lindsay’s a man of taste, if he is a clergyman”—as if the two were not usually found combined—“and I heard him say it was fit for a dutohess.” Miss Lueretia’s hand was, indeed, her loveliest feature, so to speak— white as snow, with the prettiest taper fingers, pink at the ends. Once when Mr. Lindsay had mentioned them flatteringly, Miss Susan, who was doing the week’s menu mg near by, drew her own hands under her work, he noticed. Nobody ever took the trouble to flatter Miss Su san. Lucretia sang in the choir, al though her voice was as thin as muslin, and she had no ear; nobody dreamed or cared if Susan sang like a seraph. She sat in Lueretia’s shadow, and people almost forgot she was there, till they needed her help. Mr. Lindsay had taught the ehoir himself, and when the altar- cloth could no longer be a pretext to cover a multitude of calls, there were the chants and fugues to prac tice. One morning, as he drilled Lucretia for half an hour ineffectu- the berries wouldn’t keep, and so she staid at home. At about, the middle of the afternoon, when they had had dinner and cleared away, and things were a little slow, and they wanted somebody to start some music, Mr. Lindsay was no- ally, he suddenly turned to Susan.! where to be found. “Come,” he said, “try this chant I “Oh he’s gone off with Lucretia should add a codicil to his will, in favor of the new pastor and Lucre- tia’s husband. “When they’re married,” reckon ed Miss Hicli, with unchristian thrift, “we shall have all our chun h trappings embroidered for nothing i suppose.” “Do you think Susan will live vith ’em?” asked Mrs. Phelps. “P’r’aps he won’t care about mar rying the whole family.” •‘He’s powerful k.n l to Susan, though.” “He takes a sight of notice of her.” “You kinder forget she’s Lucre- tia’s sister,” put in Miss Rich, “an all she’s got,” It was surely plain that Mr. Lindsay took pleasure in the socie ty at the Shaw homestead. At pic nic, at prayer meeting or choir meet ings, he was always at hand to take Lucretia and Susan home; he lent hem Ins hooks, and directed their reading; he brought them flowers from town when lie happened to go up. “I shall he so glad to give up the presidency of the Bethel society and the Dakota Liague to Lucretia,” said Miss Rich. “It’s only proper for the clergyman’s wife to be at the head, of them.” “You’ll feel sorter lost without ’em ?” asked Mrs. Phelps. The parish is a large field. I think I can spare them to Lucretia. Do you know, the other night as 1 was going to watch with Miss Hart when she had information or the iungs, I came across Lucretia and Susan and Mr. Lindsay. I must say 1 should think Susan would have inoi e taste than to follow’em any where. Why don’t she keep her self in the background?” “She’s been pretty much in the background all her life,” said Dr. Slow. “Perhaps she’s tired of the ituation.” “But she ought to have more con sideration. Perhaps the lovers do not mind her. There were all three of ’em, watching the comet and studying the heavens.” “A proper study for a clergyman,” said Dr. Slow. “And he was pointing out all the consternations, and it seeme 1 to me they was looking at him instead of the stars,” pursued Miss Rich. “It would be a complication,” sug gested Mrs. Phelps, “If, while lie’s courting Lucretia, Susan should get in love with him.” It wouldn’t be no use,” said Mrs. (Triram.“Lueretia’s that smart she’d make him believe it was her lie was dying for.” The Shaws had enough to keep the wolf from the door, hut noth ing to sparp; they owned their house, hut they- kept no servant. “Help would be dreadfully in their way,” Mi<s Rich declared. “I won der they don’t feel glad they can’t afford any.” Susan always wore the simplest garments, which she designed anl executed herself, while Lucre tia—“Well, if there’s anything thaj unfits Lucretia for her future po sition at the head of the parish,” confessed Mrs. Phelps, “it’s her love of finery.” Lucretia always blossomed out in a pretty spring bonnet—while Su san mad“her last year’s one answer —and a smart new suit made in th< latest wrinkle. It was about this time that the parish picnic occurred—an institu tion which everybody believed in. Hadn't there beep more matches made at the last than during all the year besides? And wasn’t it a fine chance to test Mrs. Phelps’ recipes, Miss Rich’s cream-pies and Mrs. Dr. Slow’s tarts? Of course Lucretia went, and Mr. Lindsay with her. But when Mrs. Bishop, who had staid at home with a teething baby, reported that Mr. Lindsay had not gone home to write his sermon, but had walked straight into Susan’s kitchen, and had helped her seal up the preserve jars and set them away, and had sat in the front porch an hour or two afterward with her —when he might have been with Lucretia—reading secular poetry, and not Dr. Watts or Charles Wes- iej either, the parish rose in its wrath to a woman. This would lever do; Lucretia must not be rifled with. Mr. Lindsay had in- • pired hope in her gentle heart; he nnst marry Lucretia or leave the parish.” “You see,” explained Mr. Phelps, ■‘we want to settle you, Mr. Lindsay. You suit us to a T, hut it kinder seems as if you ought to propose to Lucretia Shaw, you’ve been so at tentive.” “Propose to Lucretia Shaw!” re peated the y ,ung man, with a start led air. “What has that to do with settling me? Is every clergyman who comes to Lennox obliged to propose to Lucretia Shaw as a pre liminary preparation?” “Well, no, not exactly,” laughed Mr. Phelps, “not unless he’s give the parish reason to expect it. You know we don’t want the credit of settling a philandering parson who makes love right and left.’ I’d no idee the thought would be new to you, but the parish has set its heart on the match,you see, and we wouldn’t like to see a man, if he was eloquent in prayer, who’d trifle with the affections of one of the flock, you know.” “But, my dear sir,” said Mr. Lind say, “I’m not in love with Lucre tia Shaw. You wouldn’t have me perjure myself?” “Not in love with Lucretia? The parish won’t believe its own eyes agin, I reckon.” “Well,” said Mr.Grimm, severely, ‘we couldn’t think of settling a preacher that hadn’t more principle than to throw over Lucretia Shaw after taking tea so much to her house, and raising her hopes as it were.” “Perhaps,” said Mr. Lindsay, af ter a pause—“perhaps you will be able to forgive me for not.proposing to Lucretia when I tell you that I have already proposed to Susan. You see, it would complicate mat ters a little if I were to accede to your wishes. However, I have re ceived a caii from a Western par ish, and should feel obliged to de line the Lennox parish, even if • ou had thought me worthy of it, ;s this other furnishes a wider field .f uselulness—” •‘And larger salary, 1 suppose,” idded Mr. Grimm. “And larger salary,” allowed Mr. Lindsay. “Double, in fact.” “I suppose,” persisted Miss Rich, after the wedding—“I suppose Lu- ■retia must have refused him first.” Lucky Fridays. Friday, long regarded as the day of ill-omen, has been an eventful one in American history. Friday, Columbus sailed on his voyage of discovery. Friday, ten weeks after, he dis covered America. Friday, Bt. Augustine, the oldest town in the United States was founded. Friday, George Washington was horn. Friday, Bunker Hill was seized and fortifier!. Friday, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, and on Friday the mo tion was made in Congress that the united colonies were, and of right ought to he, free and independent. Americans surely ought not to be afraid of Friday. How to Pronounce Depot. penditure, there came a time when he found his resources so exhausted that he was forced to look around him and consider what he had bet ter do. By and by Saladin remembered that in the town of Alexandria there dwelt a wealthy- Jew named Mel- chisedech, who was accustomed to lend money at interest. Melchisedech was an avaricious man and not at all likely to produce such a sum as the king required; but the urgent need he was in de termined Saladin to obtain it by force if necessary; therefore he de vised a scheme by which he might get the Jew In his power, and sen tence him to a fine that should be sufficient to meet the emergency. So Melchisedech was summoned to the palace and there received with much honor; presently he had an audience of the king who spoke to him after this manner: “I have been told great things concerning your wisdom, and especially, it is said, you have a remarkable knowl edge of spiritual subjects. I have sent for you, then, Melchisedech, that you may tell me this, Which of these three religions is the best and the true—thatol the Jew, of (he Mohammedan, or of the Christian ?” Now, this Jew was crafty, and he perceived that the king was laying a snare for him. If he gave a pref erence for any one of these relig ions iiis vast wealth—if not his life also—would be the forfeit. Happi ly for him, he was not easily alarm ed, and with wonderful presence of mind he thus made answer to Sa ladin : “Sir, the subject on which you question me is beautiful, and of vast importance; but in order that I may reply in a satisfactory manner, per mit me to tell you a little story. 1 remember hearing, though I cannot say in what eountryit was, of a rich man, who among other valuable jewels, possessed a ring of great beauty aud inestimable worth. De siring that the treasure should be guarded suitably, this man devised the project of leaving it to his sue cessors as a memorial of his opu lence; therefore, he directed in his will that the son who, at the time of his death, should be found in pos session of the ring might be regard ed as his heir, and held in consider ation by all the family. The son who thus inherited the costly jewel bequeathed it in much the same terms to his successors, and thus it passed from generation to genera tion. At length it fell into the hands of a man who was the father of three boys. Each one of these was amiable and excellent, each was submissive to his parents will, and his love for them was equal. Now, this good man became much perplexed as to how he ought to leave his treasure, for he loved his sons well, and would gladly have made the three equally happy. He could not single out one son for liis good qualities, because all were alike virtuous; thus was it that he devised a method of getting out of a difficulty, for it must be owned that in a moment of weakness he had promised the ring to each of the three young men. Secretly apply ing to a goldsmith, he had two rings made so perfectly resembling the heirloom that even he himself could not distinguish the false from the true. The sons received then a ring apiece, and, as may be supposed, this was the ground of bitter con testation as soon as the father died. Each one declared that the rights of succession were his; each one ex pected to be regarded as the head of the family; each one produced his ring as a proof of his heritage. It was, however, impossible to know the real and the false jewels apart; and a legal process was begun to es tablish the true succession. This process is so full ot intricacy, and so many questions are involved in it, that it is going on to the present day and without any hope of being satisfactorily ended. “That, my lord, is the story,” said the Jew in conclusion, “and, as with Touched by the generosity of this avowal, the Jew was moved to a good will unusual to his character, and produced the large sum which Baladin required. That monarch not only repaid him the money, but made him many gifts and kept him near to his own royal person, treat ing him with a real friendship as long as he lived. GENERAL NEWS.

I could not help it.” felt it her duty to account for him. “No; there’s Lucretia now, talk ing about free-will with Dr. Slow.” “Perhaps he’s gone home to write his sermon,” suggested somebody else, the picnic grove being only half a mile from town. We’d better henceforth call it sta tion. The British Minister at Washing ton continues to receive threaten ing letters, but they give him no especial concern.

It Is not yet decided which of the three is near est to the truth, and to all appear ance it never will be.” Saladin perceived that the Jew was too wily for him, and he admir ed the skill with which he had avoided the trap set for him. It would be useless to manoeuvre fur ther with a man like this; therefore the king told him of his pressing need of money and frankly asked for the loan. He was candid enough also to confess what his purpose was it the reply to his question had been less discreet. HUMOROUS. There is a town in Illinois so rig idly temperate that they object to storms brewing in the neighbor hood. A burglar got into the house of a lawyer the other day. After a terri ble struggle the lawyer succeeded in robbing him. Four sisters named Carr were married at Joliet recently, and the clergyman who performed the cere monies is now called a patent Carr coupler. “Well, how do you like our town ?” Stranger—“Very nice place. Just consider that thereare twenty- two trains on which you can leave it daily.” Never boast about anything that your conscience tells you you ought to be ashamed of. If you are a bach elor now, and ever was engaged to be married, don’t acknowledge it. In an action for breach of prom ise the other day in England the de fendant’s counsel asked the fair plaintif: “Did he enter into a pos itive agreement to marry you ’ “Well, not exactly,” she replied “but he courted me a good deal and told my sister he intended to mar ry into our family.” A coal dealer asked some law stu dents what legal authority was the favorite of his trade? One answer ed: “Goke.” “Right,” said the coal dealer. Another suggested: “Black- stone.” “Good too!” said tne ques tioner. Then a little man piped out “Littleton.” Whereupon the coal dealer sat down. Aaron Jones, of Lynchburg, has posted a notice of dissolution on his shop door as follows: “The partner ship heretofore resisting between me and Mose is this day dissolved. All parties indebted to the con cern will settle with me, and all parties the concern is indebted to will settle with Mose.” “May is said to be an unlucky month for marriages. An old bach elor says, that according to the tes timony of his friends who have slip ped their heads into the matrimo nial noose, the other unlucky months for marriages are June, Ju ly, August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March and April. The story is told of Walter Dav- idge, that in a Washington court room he had hardly been able to re strain himself through two hours of a tedious speech by an opposing lawyer. At last the lawyer said: “Your Honor, I have an idea,” “Your Honor,” broke in Davidge, ‘give him a writ of hebeas corpus to take it out of solitary confine ment.” “The lady is handsome, but she looks as if she had a temper of her own,” remarked one drummer to another on the train the other day. “You bet! You read character cor rectly,” was the reply. “Why, you speak as if you were acquainted with her!” “Well, I am slightly. I married her some ten years ago and have been studying her ever since.” A young lawyer talked four hours to an Indiana jury, who felt like lynching him. His opponent, a grizzled old professional, arose, look ed sweetly at the Judge and said: “A'our Honor, I will follow the ex ample of my young friend who has just finished and submit the case without argument.” Then he sat down and the silence was large and oppressive. She was in humble circumstan ces, but she was a Boston girl for all that “Yes, papa is a unicyclist,’ she remarked to the railroad re porter whom she met on an excur sion train. “Indeed?” responded the young gentleman addressed, very much concerned to know what a unicyelist might be, but very much afraid of exposing his West ern rawness by asking. From a Boston young man on the train it was learned that “papa” imparted the desired impetu.s to a wheelbar row used in connection with city improvements. They sat side by side on the car, talking politics, and presently the man in the white plug hat inquired, “Colonel, whom do you consider the greatest living orator?” The colonel eonghed, stroked his chin whiskers, and made no reply. At the end of the block he got off with out a word, and a passenger on the other side leaned forward and said to the white hat man, “Tint’s a very pretty blunder you made! “Why, he’s the very man himself!” “Is that so?” gasped the other, aud he ran to the platform to watch him out of sight. The bill for placing General l’. Grant on Ihe retired list failed ■ass for the want of a two-thir. vote in the affirmative.

He granted the plaintiff, nee Miss Hill, $2,500 per month from date of application, June 9, and $55,000 to counsel. A large Buddist temple is now in course of erection at Kioto, Japan, All its timbers and pillars are put in place by ropes made of human hair, the devotees of the god they worship offering their hair on its shrine. The hair is then cut off, and is twisted by the priests into church ropes. “The fashion of wearing beauty spots and patches is coming into vogue again this season,” said a fashionable ladies’ hair dresser of New York. “At the ball of the as sembly a number of ladies wore lit tle stars and half moons on their fa ces, and at the charity ball one lady 1 wore a4iny coacb-and-four in black court plaster, on her forehead. These patches may be purchased at almosf any hair dresser in the city. The magniefieut art collection of George l Seney, which is valued at £300,000 and said to be second only to Mr. Vanderbilt’s, is to be sold at auction on March 16. The announce ment created a considerable sur prise on Wall street, as it was un derstood that the collection was made over to the associated banks to be held until he could redeem it. The Governor has issued a procla mation restricting the sale of liquor in Haralson county after March 28. The restriction provides that no li quor in less quantities than a gallon shall be sold to the purchaser, who shall not drink the Same in the pla :e of purchase. This question was recently settled by a vote 428 to 303. The quiet little town of Lula, Hall county, is disturbed to her very cen tre. Mr. J. P.

Both sides have employed counsel, and ex citement is at fever heat. The Swiss officials have again been warned of a plot to blow up the Federal Palace with dynamite in retaliation for the repressive measures recently adopted by the Federal Counsel. It is stated that the police of Geneva have discover ed a secret dynamite factory in that city, and that all the workmen employed in the factory were Swiss. In Vermont the snow last week was two feet deep, with a hard crust upon it. £)ne foot addition fell on Sunday and Monday, and the high winds drifted it into the railroad cuts and closed the roads complete ly.
