THAT CRUMB CLOTH.
‘ITow iliil you come to marry Mr. Mar.
shall, Aniit Xaiinio? 1
Mrs. Marshall wasn’t my aunt but 1
I hail called her s fur ninny years, for she
was Ihe kindest and truest friend 1 had
ever had. She sat silent, knitting busi
ly and smiling a little before she answer
ed me.
‘lt all came of shaking a crumb cloth,’
said Aant Nannie.
‘What did you trip him up in its folds
and bring him down on his knees to
you?’
‘No; I’ll 101 l you. When I was four
years old my mother died. 1 do not
know whether children of that tender
age remember their mother as I remem
-her mine or not; bat when 1 was so lit
tle that I sat in u high chair at the table
tw< nld watch the chairs filling lip a
rnutid it with the persistent hope that
my mother would come to ait by me; and
I did not ic-lirtqult,li this hope alter 1 was
old enough to comprehend dealt), but
j clang to it praying Ohrisl to wink a mir
j acle, as in the old Bible times, and let
| my dear mother appear to my lunging
■ sight.
| ‘ Never was there a more affeclionale
child, and my youth was a dreary time
■ My grandmother who had charge and me,
i meant to do her duty by me, and in the
| usual acceptance of the term, she did it
‘ 1 was fed and clothed, and she taught
| me as well as her limited means would
I allow. Bat she never manifested any
aHection fur me. She was one of that
| kind if people who think kisses and ca
resses foolishness and t ongh I can look
hack and remember prools of a secret
lenderm ss.she never k'sscd nor carress*
cd me when 1 \va< a child.
*1 grew up starv.d for lore. After 1
was fourteen years old I grew to 1 ' look
for it w-kmce all girls lock for it—from
a lover. I read romances— l built ait j

in practical ways and habits, that w I

-A. 'T32TTSI).
taking- My fondest dream was' ff *!;-
time when a material figure with bold,
bright eyes and gaj apparel, should seal
ed on a milk white charger, appear be
fore me, as I spun in Ihe porch or gather
ed berries in the field and folding me to
his lioait with tender and assuring
words-, leap upon his steed, and with
me in his arms fly to some unknown
country where he would make me queen
of ids fustic. I never realized, ugly ig
uoraiit child that I was, that this was pe
culiai ly absurd is .applied to me, until
oijg Jey soni'-thin;’; occurred which des
tieyed my I can'.iful illusion and made
me wretch- and.

‘Oh! said I, in delight, ‘periinps it is
my lover knight coming from tlie wars
to find me. I,it us watch until ho conies
around the to ml d' Ihe mad. If it. is lie
will take off his plained hat and wave
it for me. Then will gallop up and lift
me to Ida horse and curry too to Moated

‘A nice girl you are for a knight to

My cloud land was destroyed fu ever
From l! at moment Vkm v.- that I was

him.
'I grew older, I w. s p ile, plain, and
av.kwnnlly shy. Ihit my personal de
f cts to a paii,fill degree, qml I sliumi
id what society-was attainable t > me.
'When I was eighteen years old I re
ceive! an invitation limn my mint who
lived in I! ston to vi-it 1 1 ct. I had nev
er ecru her, ami she knew me only by
r p it. She wished me to come and
spend the winter with her,
‘My grandmother was willing that 1
should go, lint we wete very poor, and
it required a gr, at del . / economy and
rnanagrmcnt to fmi'iisli mo with a ward
robe to visit the city with. At last my
uiittiL w: 3 completed, and 1 went to Bos
ton.
‘ the family' of my Aunt Caroline con
sist! and of hors. If, lew daughter Julia, and
•■I e orphan children of a dcccusid snti.
Julia waif just my age, and very pretty.
Il is a very hatd tiling to sny, but I linn
estly think that my aunt— to whom my
personal appearance had I con described
wanted mo to usioeiate with Julia as a
foil to imr beauty and to nside, in tin;
lamily that ! might assist in taking care
of the children. At at.y rate, when I
came the single servant was dismissed.
‘The f;itni!v lived < l< gunCy, bill I booh
onnd tintL ii was done by the strictest
economy. .Mv mini walked hard and
managed wi 11, but no one outside of tlie
In.m- 1 dreamed Unit tLoir income was as
painfully small as it was.
‘Julia had a lover. Mr. Marshall was
very handsome and mighty fine, and do 1 j
not wmidor that he appeared very much j
like a god to me then, lie was but re- 1
cent’y acquainted with Julia when lie I
went theie, but he appeared very rrnic'i
in love with tier. 1 used to help her
dress tu> >n tin- evenings on which be
came, and after she hail gone down, look
ing like an angel, I used te shed a few
• inlet tears oi sorrow and loneliness, as
l stood and listened to tludr happy chat
and gay la.ught.ef ringing from the room
lidos. 1 was Veiy suio that i never
did bo pretty, and I thought nobody
would t v. r love rpe,
‘One day ill . Marshal! rairc to dint.

and dinner. My aunt had heeh very
wealthy t'<>r a short time when first mar
ried and from her husband’s failure' she
had saved a few things which gave the
house an air of means and style—some
articles of line table silver and some
handsome oil paintings, 1 remember.
‘With my assistance she served the
dinner herself ond managed to ho richly
dressed to appear at the table She
looked cool amt stately; bat 1 who bad
lingered nntill the lasi moment in the
kitchen making gravies and serving up
vegetables, was so tired that I could
hardly speak. 1 never did talk much
though so it was not noticed apparently
Mr. Marshall conversed of honks, pictures
and music, all of which Julia was ac
quainted with and il was agreeable to
listen to them 1 was sorry when the
meal was finished.
'Mr. Marshall turned to look at the
pictures on the wall when ho arose, and,
after a few moments my mini commenc
ed el >ariug the table. The dishes were
put through a slide in the clipboard into
the kitchen. 1 help and her do this. Julia
stood looking out. of the window.
‘When the. table was cleared ol ilsdish

took up my sewing, thinking that my
aunt would be back in a moment to fin

place of a guest. Mr, Marshall spoke
to me and asked me to play backgam
mon. It was the only gains of pleasure
that I knew and I was delighted at the
thought. I put down my sewing, and
he brought the board and arranged the
game. Julia sat in a corner ol the so
fa, with Borne embroidery Just ns we
were really to play l 1 o'.ed up and saw
that the table still stood spread with its
linen cloth, and the crumb cloth had not
been taken up. Julia glanced ut the
same moment and then turned serenely
back to her embroidery. I put down
the dice-box timidly.
“Fx.attso'nny said I; 'aunt is not com
ii g back, and the table must be put in
its [Jae .’
‘1 took off the cover and carried it in
to the kitchen, then 1 camback pul
down the leaves of the old-fashioned ta-
ble, and was going to put tip at the sid"
of tl e room alone.
'j'hon 1 took up the crumb eluth, car
ried it out and shook it, and put in its
place in the hall closet and all the time
lie stood and and watched me as if in
siilpris '. When 1 wns ready to sit
down ho played very badly. He seem
ed to be absent minded.
‘He came to the house two or three
times after ft.at, but never to spend an
evening alone with it'nlia. I’retty soon
he did hot come at all ami Julia used to
cry and pout and he so cross that she
made the whole family uncomlorLabV.
'One day lie drove up to the door in a
splriidol sleigh, for it was winter time,
and tic sleighing wns very good. Julia
w s silting at the dining room (ire.
‘Ttn re said she jumping up,‘lie’s come
to take me to drive. Now, I won’t go a
step unless he asks my pardon for slay

‘Her mother showed him into the par

there was something in his manner that

asked mo to many him. I waited three
years for him, for he was not settled in
business then—then we were married,
and 1 have been happy every day c f my
life since.
‘One day he told mo why ho had not
married Julia.
‘I was pleased with her,’ said lie, ‘hut
when 1 saw her lot you a guest leave

do her mother's work while she satdofhg
nothing but some 'embroidery, 1 knew
she was indolent and selfish, and .she
never lonkid pretty to me utter Ilia mo

cloth, Nannie, I should probably hare

am now satisfied.”
Utital Wedding in Sweden.
I will endeavor to describe a village
wedding in Sweden. It Khali lie in
summer time, that there maybe flowers,
and in a southern province, that the
bride may bo lair. The early sprig of
the lark and the cliantileer are mingling
in the clear morning air, and the suit,
the heavenly bridegroom with golden
h.cks, arise in the east, jest us cur
earthly bridegroom, with yellow hair,
urises'in the sot.lh. In the yard there
is a Bound of voices and trampling of
hoofs, and the horses are led forth and.
saddled. The steed that has to tear
the bridegroom hag a bunch of flowers
upon his forehead arid a garland of corn
flowers around his neck. Friends fro n
the neighboring farms eutnc riding in,
their blue cloaks streaming to tbc wind;
and finally the happy bi bb groorn, with
a Whip in hi.- hand and monstruus nose
gay in the breast of Ins black jacket,
comes f rt!i from his chamber; and then
tu horse and away towards the village
where the bride already hits and w.-iitK-
Foremost rides tin spoke.-mon, followed
by some half dozen village miis’eian.s.
NT xt eon es the bridegroom between his
I two groomsmen, and then forty or fifty
friends and wedding guests, hail ol them j
perhaps with pistmis and guns in tlieii
hands. A kind of baggage wagon |
brings up tl e rear, laden with food ami
drink for these merry pilgrims.
At lheeutrai ee of every village stands
a triumphal arch, adorned with (lowers
and ribbons and evergreens; and as
tin y pass beneath it, the wedding guests
fire a salute, and the whole procession ;
stuns. And straight from every pocket
Hie., a b'atk-j ick, filh and with punch oi l
brandy, it is passed from hand to I and \
among the crowd; provisions are broilglii :
from the tyagon, and after eating, and ;
drinking, and hurahing, the procession'|
moves forward again, and at length
draws near tg: lienso of the biide.
Four In rati A ride forward to aumniuce

the neighboring (crust, anil pray for Ima

; the bt.dv's father. “At least 'three hull -
drod,” is the answer; and to this Iho.his!
replies; ''Yes, were yon seven limes as
many, you should all bo welcome; ami
in token thereof, receive this cup.”
U hereupon each herald receives a can
ot ale, and soon after the whole jovial
company comes storming into the far
mer’s yard, and, riding around the May
polo, which stands in the center, alight
amid a grand salute and flourish of mu-
In the hall sits the bride, with a crown
up n her head and a tear in her eye,
like' the Virgin Mary in old church pain
tings. She is dressed in a red bodice
and kittle, with looso I'ncn sleeves.
There is a gilded belt round her waist 1 ,
and around her nook strings of golden
beads and a golden chain. On the
crown rests a wreath of wild roses, and
below it another of cypress. Loose
over her shoulders fulls her fiax-n hair,
»nd Imr blue innocent eyes are fixed up
on the ground. Oh, thou good soul!
thon hast hard hands but a a .ft heart,
rim It art poor. Ti o very muniments
thou wearest are not thine. They have
hern hired for this great day. Yot thou
art rich—rich in health, rich in hope,
rii'.h in thy first young, lot vent love.
I'he blessings of heavtm he upon thee;
so thinks the parish priest, as lie joins
together tho hands of bride'
and bridegroom, saying, in deep, sol
emn tones, “J give thee in marriage
this damsel, to be thy wedded wife in
all honor, and to share (lio halt i t thy
bed, thy look and key, and every third
penny which you two may p.i-se-s, or
inherit, and all the rights which Upland’s
laws provide, and tho holy King Erik
gave." The dinner is now served, arid
the bride sits between the bridegroom
and the. priest. The spokesman d.div
ers an oration, after tho ancient custom
of his lathers. lie interlards it well
with quotations from the Bible, and in
vites the Savior to ho present at this
marriage feast, ns lie was at Ihe mar
ringe feast of (Jana of Gallilee. Thu ta

makes a hug arm, and tho I'mst goes

table; tint, as all thin -s must have an
mul, so must a Svv. dish dinner. Then
the dunce begins. It is lew] ntf by the
bride and the priest, who perform a sol
emn minute together. Not till after
midnight mines tho ho t danre. The
girls form r, ring around the bride, keep
her from the hands of ftha married wo

expectation. It was not equal to some

though, that it was interes!ing to bear
within view of the obelisk of Luxor which*
marks the site of tho gujlolino—‘Hur

was to sec women standing up in car

the Mamdlaiso and shrieking the war

would make an admirable goddess of

upon the seat'd her carnage—close by
the golden tipped spikes of tho railing
of the t( rranoc of the TuiLries—her

OUTRAGES IN CUBA—VENGEANCE
OF A HUSBAND.
Tho Havana correspondent of the New
York Times gives the following account
of the iccent outrages in. Cuba by brig
ands, and the vengeance taken upon two
of them by an American engineer, whoso
wife they ItM offlelly maltreated:
Sometime during tho mouth oi May it
party of five robbers appeared at a plant
alien,'possessed themselves of several
go and horses, taking also various arti
cles of clothing belonging to an Anieris
can engineer on the plantation and thou
disappeared. Tho engineer, who was in
Havana at the time bcca 1.0 furious on
his return and indulged in severe threats
against the perpetrators of tho robbe
ries. Some friends of tho bandits com
municated these threats to them, and a
few days later they again appeared,
took the engineer by surprise, tied him
hand anil foot and then proceeded to lash
him with whips and thongs until tho
man had fainted tlirco times from tho
loss of blood and pain. They then tied
him up on a chair before his dwelling,
and two of the number walked into the
house and violated his wife. Since then
the engineer has been almost a maniac,
ami bent on revenge,
Last Friday bo received information
that the two bandits were then at a
neighboring plantation and without ad
vising anybody of'lrs intention he arm
id I iinself and had the good fortune to
find both"of them lying on the floor in an
inebriate condition. To tie them np and
rooi?o them sufficiently to understand the
situation occupiul hut little time and
with the help of some negroes ho brought
them to his own place, ordered fires to
be lit, and then threw both of them into
hi"- sugar kettles filled with water which
‘ --.n a, buil. Thu men lives) tjf-i
I so.m u...
■.l en it, two;,:.; niiuutesj until the water
began to boll. Their attrmptg lo throw
themselves out of the kettles, and their
demands for water and cries for pity
were heart rending, but their execution
er tni k a fiendish delight in throwing in
occasionally a little cool water, which
however in a moment bogfan to boil a
gain. v-.i-jj 'SJMBdjk
At the end of twenty five minutes both
had c."ifst dto exist. When the fact was
monlrmed to the Captain General, ho ro
marked, “I don’t wish to know it, and if
such a thing has haj pened I fully ap
prove of it as a man, but as Captain-
General 1 have so far no knowledge of
th.i matter. Beasts in human shape
must be treated as beasts, although the
pun shiiii nt was inhuman and cruel;"
and so tho matter rests. The engineer
Inis returned to his plantation and swears
not lo rest.until he has caught tho other
three. Some Spaniards attempted to call
those bandits insurgents but that is a
mere subterfuge us all of these robbers
wore criminials before the war, exercis
ed their nefarious profession then and
since without the leastYefercuoa to poll-*
tics, and in addition, these bands are
composed of Cubans, Spaniards and lie

A Beautiful Love Story.
The G tint do St. Croix, belonging to
one of the noblest and wealthiest fami
lies of France, became engaged, after a
long courtship, to a ludy Ids equal in
position and fortune, and famous for her
beauty. Shortly after the happy day
was appointed which was to render two
loving iiearts one, the Count was otder
od immediately to the seige of Sebasto
pool; so ho gilded on his saber, and at
tho head of his regiment marched on to
the tlattle-iield. During the Count’s
absence it happened that Ids beautiful
affianced bud tbe small-pox; and hov
ering between life and death, she recov
ered, but found her beauty hopelessly
lost. The disease had assumed, in her
ease, tbe most virulent ’character, and
left her hot only disfigured, but seuflud
and scarred to such a frightful extent
that she became hideous to herself, and
re olved to pass thi remainder of her
days in the strictest seclusion.
A year passed away, when one day
the Count, immediately on his return to
France, accompanied by his valet, pre
sented'himself at the residence of his
betrothed und solicited an interview.
This was refused. lie, however, with
tho persistence of a luver, pressed tho
suit, ayd finally tho lady made her ap
pearance, very closely muffled in avail.
At the sound of her voice the Count
rushed forward to embrace tier, but,
.-tupping aside, she tremblingly told him
tho story of her sorrow, and burst -into
tears. A heavenly suile broke over
the Count's liai.dsomo features, »s
rai. iug his hand above, he exclaimed:
"it is God’s work! lam blind!” U was
even so. When gallantly leading his
regiment to tho attack, a cannon bail
passed so closely to his eyes that while
it left their expression unchanged and
his countenance unmarked, it rubbed
him forever of right. It is uimocessary
to add their marriage was shortly Nip
cutilized. It is said that ar this day
may be often seen at the ErfiperOrs re
ceptions an ' ffleer leaping upon tho arm
of a lady closely vailed, and they seem
to be alLructod to tiio spot, by their love
of IIHIbtC.
