SILAS SINGLETON.
CHAPTER I.—THE VOW.
III do it!” and, with the excla
mation, Silas Singleton’* chubby
hand came down with emphasis on
the dining-room table. “I’m only
fifty-eight, for a man is compara
tively young at that age when his
life has been a strictly temperate
and regular one. She’s a good girl,
and luckily for me, perhaps, she’s
poor. All girls,especially the poor
er ones, place a proper estimate
upon securing a rich husband and
why should she be an exception?
Jack will be astonished, and a little
disappointed, I suppose; but I mean
to provide generously for his future,
for he is a good boy and my only
living relative. He’ll never dream
in what direction the land lies,
though. I have guarded my secre l
so well that even she don’t dream
what a brilliant future is before
her.” Silas chuckled gleefully, am
sinking hack in his chair, closed
his eyes to contemplate the futur
his imagination pictured.
Our friend Silas was a self-made
man—the architect of his own for
tune, as he was wont to put it him
self, who having realized a compe
tency in the manufacture of so«p,
retired from trade to enjoy his ease
in an uptown stone m insion. Thai
evening at dinner he approached
his nephew ou the subject that fill
ed his thoughts.
“Jack,” he said, as he twisted hi
napkin round one enubby hand, “at
whatage do you think a wise man
should marry?”
‘“Oh,say, uncle; you'll have to
give me an easier one. That is u
.nunirum as difficult to solve a
the question oace asked by Louie
the Fourteenth of France, of a lady
who had passed her eightieth
birthday. ‘Madam,’ inquired the
king, ‘wheu does a woman cease to
love?’-Sire,’replied the venerable
dame, with the most bewitching
smirk, ‘you must ask soma lady
older thatt I.”
Tack, do not try to be funny,”
was the comment of Silas on his
nephew’s stoiy, who heard the crit
icism with a good-humored laugh,
aa ho a. kail:
“Are you seriously contemplating
matrimony, Uncle?”
Silas evaded a query too direct to
' be agreeable by remarking aentru-
tlously, “I believe that no man
should marry until his character

CHAPTER II—TOE PROPOSAL.
“Tell my nephew he must dine
alone to-night,” Silas said to his
servant, as he was about leaving
the house the following evening.
He was dressed with more than
usual care, and his step was as elas
tic as a boy’s as he ran down the
steps. Ten minutes’ ride on the
surface rails would have brought
him to his destination, but he pre
ferred to walk, and his thoughts
translated into speech would be ex
pressed as lollows: “Silas Single-
ton, this is a momentous crisis in
your life. You are about to ask a
girl to be your wife, but don’t make
i fool if yourself, Silas Singleton
Be calm, concise and decisive. Get
lo the point at once, and you mus
Oe successful.’
tie paused at the d ior of a tene
oetit house in West Thirty-fourth
street to adjust his necktie hefori
tseending l lie stairs. He knocked
.t the door on the second floor, arm
a clear, girlish voice bade him corns
in.
• Good-evi-ning, Miss Letty,” said
Silas, as he entered toe room.
“Oh, good-evening, Mr. Singleton
Let me take youi hat, sir. Mother
lias just gone out to the butcher’s,
out she’ll be back presently’.”
“Surely the Fatas are fighting in
;uy ruvor,” thought Silas. He was
.none with Letty, and had a clear
stage to enter on his wooing with*
iiu. fear of immediate interruption.
Letty Larendon was not hand-
-o.ne, but, like hundreds of her sis-
rer working girls in New York, Bhe
.vas industrious, self-reliaut and
self-denying. Silas was not an in
frequent visitor to her humble
home. He was her father’s friend,
and it was through hie influence
that Letty had secured a position
as s*enogropher in a merchant’s of
fice, which enabled her to support a
widowed mother and a brother
many years younger than herself.
“I hope your mother is growing
stronger,” Silas said as he seated
himself quite close to the girl’s
ide.
“Indeed she is, sir, and I’m sure
we shall never forget how very
kind you have been to us, Mr. Sing
leton.”
Oh, nonsense! But when she loses
youjAIi** Letty, I’m sure she’ll miss
you, for you area model daughter,
and deserve the best reward such
a girl can get, and that is a goodJius-
land. Do you think of marrying,
Miss Letty ?”
“Oh! there’s time enough to think
f that yet,” was Letty’s laughing
reply.
“A mistake, Miss Larendon, a
nistake, believe me. Early mar
riages—l mean early marriages of
temales—is to be commended. I
pressed this view on my nephew
Inst night, and urged him to marry.
Jack is so far of my opinion that he
protests he will be married within
iweek. Miss,Laity, take ray worn
for it, you will be happier married
to the inau that loves you and chi
give you a pleasant home. Suppos<
his man I sneak of loved you t-
distractiou, as he does, and that hi'
name was Singleton, what would
you say, Letty ?’’
Uncle Silas had dropped formal
Miss,” and his hand was laid cares
singly on the girl’s shoulder. Miss
Larendon’s embarrassment would
nave been very apparent te her ar
dent lover if he had been looking in
her face, which he was not, as he
;ontinued: “Letty, my dear, Avhat
lo you say to changing your name
to Singleton? You will never havt
cause to regret the step, for your
Husband shall he your slave and
<dorer. You will make me happy;
and Jack—why Jack, although the
boy is too bashful to give expres
sion to his feelings, will swear you
are an angel.”
Whatever emotions the old man’s
words stirred in Letty’s breast, she
endeavored to conceal, and it was
in a calm and somewhat faint voice
she murmured: “If you wish it,
sir, and if Jack—”
“Why, of course, we both wish it,”
tie interrupted, and the infatuated
oilas proceeded to seal the contract
with a kies. Now his nephew
could have told that kissing is an
art that can only be acquired by pa
tient study of details and heroic
perseverance in practice, and Silas
Singleton’s osculatory performance
was not a brilliant success. With
the best intentions in the world he
only succeeded in reaching the tip
of Letty’s somewhat retrousse
nose instead of her lips, but he left
the house as happy as old age can
sometimes be in the perpetration of
a folly.
CHAPTER III.—THE DEKOtTIENT.
his pocket. “My dear uncle, you I give ye a letter, an’if I don’t tell
Jack that I saw old man Singleton
kissing ye?” It was the inlant ter
rible of the family, Letty’s small
brother, who had entered the room,
with the letter in the hand he held
behind his back.
j“Oh! you bad boy, I shall certain
ly tell mother; and —give me that
letter immediately,” exclaimed
Letty as &be snatched it front her
brother’s band.
“Eddie, my young friead,” said
Jack, “on principle I object to re
warding an informer, but here is a
nickle, and travel.”
“Now, Miss Larendon, said Jack
when he clesed the door behind
her little brother, "I suppose you
are rendy with an explanation.”
Letty read the letter very care
fully before she answered him
“Oh! Jack, I’ve made a terrible
mistake.”
“It would seem so, Miss Laren
don,” the young man said stiffly.
“Jack, I don’t want you to lie ab
surdly jealous about your uncle
kissiug me, when I’ve just had a
good cry,” and there was a quiver
iround the sweet, womanly mouth
that instantly disarmed her lover
of all anger. “There, there, that
will do, Jack; and now that you are
a good boy again, I’ll give you the
explanation you ask for. Your un
cle was here last Dight and made a
proposal on behalf of you, Jack, as I
then thought. He intimated that
you were too bashful to plead your
own cuui-3. Poor man! he didn't
know of our secret engagement;
and when ha uiged uie to change
my name to Singleton—”
I think I can guess the rest.
You learn from the letter that he
poke for himself, and that he re
gards you at this moment as his be
trothed.”
‘That’s It, Jack; and, oh! what
am I to do ?”
Only one thing that I knew of,
dear, and that is to ” and the
remainder of the sentence was
whispered among Letty’s bangs.

|The pension debate in Congress
was signalized by two notable
speeches, by Mr. Norwood of Geor
gia and Mr. Breekenridge, of Ken
tucky.
.Norwood carried off the palm for
satire and Breekenridge for elo
quence.The galleries were crowded
and membets clustered around the
two speakers.
Norwood, with a face as solemn
as Minerva’s bird, poured out a
stream of wit, humor, sarcasm, an
ecdote and ridicule. He skinned

a sorry spectacle. Henderson cow

Norwood’s thrusts and parodies
were received with loud bursts of
merriment and tumultuous ap
plause. His speech is eagerly, gether with their fully stocked

to the front as an inimitable wit

In the Irontispiece of the March

Spain has been astonishingly quiet
since the death of the young king.

whose striking personality is re

crisp article of “Reminiscences’’
by Alvey A. Adee, of th# State De
partment, Washington,—has been a
figure in every political agitation
since the'abdication of Isabella It.,
the mother of the late King. These
articles define the brilliant talents
which have made Casteiar the pride
el his people, and his limitations as
a popular leader.
In the opening paper, “Italy from
a Tricycle,” Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Pennell begin a novel pen and pic
torial account of a trio from Flor
ence to Rome, in a marner of travel
and description made peculiarly
their own by the clever book, a
Canterbury Pilgrimage.” Twen
ty-seven sketches in this first part
realize the best aim of travel illus
tration; and in the text the sights
and incidents of the journey are en
tertainingly described. Ex-Minis
ter Benjamin writes of “Mountain
eering in Persia” as experienced
during a summer trip in the El
burz mountains “for health and
trout.” Like his other papers, this
article is richly illustrated.

Our Washington Letter.
There has just been finished at
the Navy Yard here an eight-inch
steel rifle, the first that this Gov
ernment has ever made, and is the
second stee 1 rifle of any kind ever
bnilt in the United States. When
the question of providing.the new
cruisars with steel rifles was dis
cussed in Congress, it was contend
ed by the opponents of the bill that
the}’ could not be made by the Gov
ernment. The Ordnan e Depart
ment claimel that they could be
and so were given an opportunity
to prove its assertion. The one
just completed will be tested short
ly at the experimental battery, at
Annapolis, and if the results are
what are expected. Congress will
make a big appropriation for their
making, and then 1,000 men will be
employed at the yard instead of
only 325 as at present. Frptn close
estimates made, it is found that the
Government can do the work for
less than 59 per cent, of what is
paid to the contractors.
The Grand Army men are very
much exercised over the panorama
of the second battle of Bull Run.-
being exhibited in this city. It is
claimed that the picture is not u
representation of the battle,and that
it shows the Confederates triumph
ing over the Union forces. Senator
Wilson, on Thursday, presented in
the Senate a copy ot a series of res
olutions adopted by Lincoln Post,
G. A. R, of Council Bluff, Iowa,
casing upon Congress to adopt leg
islation “prohibiting the exhibition
at the National Capital” The pro
moters of the enterprise have
erected an immense brick struc
ture costing more than $10,000 in
which to exhibit the principal bat
tles of the late war and expect to
reap a rich harvest out of their in
vestment. It is believed that the
boycott by the G. A. R., will in-
crease the attendance rather than
injure the enterprise, as everybody
will want to see it for themselves.
