THE OLD MILL.
Here from the lirow ,■>! the bill I look
Through a lattice of boughs and loaves
On Ore old gray mill wit?* its gambrel roof,
And the iiiohh on its rotl big eaves,
1 hear tl,e clatter Dial jars 1 nails,
And the rushing water’s sour'd.
And I see the hfnek floats rise a, Vl fall
As the wheel goes slowly round.
I rode there often when f was yott.’'g.
With my grist on tlio boras before,
And talked with Nellie, the mlUer’s gh‘i
As I waited my (urn at the door.
And while she tossed her ringlets b»oim.
And flirted and oliatted so free,
The wlieol nilglitatop or the wheel might g,\
It was all the same to mo.
’TIs twenty years slnco last I stood
On the spot where 1 stand to-day,
And Nellie is wed and the miller Is dead,
And the mill and I are gray.
But both, till wo fall into min and wrork,
To ottr fortune* of toil are bound,
And the man gees and the stream flows,
And the wind moves slowly round.

To incarcerate a man as a lunatio in
Denmark nothing is required but a cer
tifloate from a competent medical practi
tioner stating that the individual in
question is insane. Any one in Den
mark is entitled to keep a private asylum
without license, and the patients in such
an asylnm are not under State control.
Denmark has an excess of lunatics, due
chiefly to the Scandinavian habit of con
stant dram drinking. They are well
oared for in spite of the defect of the
lunacy laws.
There is said to have been discovered
a kind of tobacco which, if smoked or
chewed, will make a man forget that he
owes a dollar in the world. We can’t
see the utility of this. The crying need
oi the hour is a kind of tobacco that will
make men remember when they owe a
doling.
THE OLD BACHELOR.
"How did I come to ndopt her ?” My
dear friend, flint is about one of the sil
liest questions I ever licntJ to come
from n mun of your wiodom and com
mon senso 1 It was Fute, that’s what it
was 1 Personally, I had no more to do
with it than yort have this moment.
Those things nro all ordained and marked
ont for ns, and we can neitiaw avoid nor
alter them. Fatality, do you call the
doctrine? Well, call it what you will—
there it is, and you can’t make anything
else ont of it I
Bnt about little Magdalen. I was
coming down Broadway in a great
hurry to catch an uptown atage before
all those ferry people blocked into it,
when there she sat on a curb-stone, tlie
wind blowing her yellow hair abont and
her poor little' hands blue with oold,
crying os if her heart would break. I
uhi'n’t think the veriest savage could
have helped Mopping to ask her what
the matter was. ftnd i don’t call myself
a savage, if I do happen-f 6 hHe rtiy
little ernsty fits now and then, fte
says I:
"Child, what’s the matter?”
"I’m lost I”'said she.
And come to inquire, why, the poor
little elf was fatherless, motherless,
friendless, in all the wide world! Of
course, 1 took her home, aud yon onght
to have seen old Hannah, my house
keeper, stare when I walked in with the
yelloft haired baby dinging to the
little finger Of my left hand. For she
wasn’t more than eight years old, and
small at that I
"i gi^e you a monih’s warning, sir 1”
says Hannah. But, bless yonr soul, she
didn’t go. Maggie took her heart by
jtorm, as she always has done that of
the rest of the world, and at the mouth's
end you couldn't have hired old Hannah
to leave the child.
Well, sir, she grew np as tall as a
reed, and as pretty on m posy. I sent her
to Madam Aimard’s fashionable French
boarding-school, for I was not going to
have my Maggie a whit behind any
one's else girl, I can tell yon. My sister
Simpkins objected. You see, with those
nine daughters of hers, she gmdged
every penny of my money that was
spent on any one else.
"You* putting silly notions in the
child’s head,’' said she. "A girl that
will have her own living to earn, ought
not to mingle with Madam Aimard’s
young ladies.”
"I should like to know why?” says I.
"Because she is in no way their
equal 1” said Sister Simpkins.
"Fiddlesticks I” says I. “My Maggie
is good and pretty, and if that don’t
constitute equality with any girl alive,
I’ll own up that we don’t live in a repub
lican country 1 As for earning her own
living, why it’s my business to look
after that, and no one else need trouble
their head alxmt it 1”
Mrs. Simpkins pursed up her lips and
looked unutterable things, but she did
not dare to say anything more. She
knew of old that I wasn't to be disputed
when my will was np. But I sent the
nine Miss Simpkinses nine coral neck
laces the next Christmas, and that kept
the peace for awhile. _
When she onme home from the board-
ing-school, she was prettier than ever—
tall, as I said before, with yellow, silky
hair, great shady-locking blue eyes,
with lashes that curled up at the ends,
and cheeks as fresh aud pink as I re
member the inside of two big shells that
used to stand on my grandfather’s best
room mantel fifty good years ago.
So I cast about in my mind to find
some new plan for making the old house
lively for my little girl. I knew she
couldn’t thrive withont her innocent
gayeties, any more than a bird could
withont free air and sunshine; so I in
vited company, and made up little im
promptu parties and frolics, and beat
my brains for something to keep her
I amused. And I believo I succeeded,
j too, for her step was ns light ns a
feather, and yon could hear ner sing all
1 over the house, when she thought she
i was alone.
And one day old Hannah came iu.
dusting chairs, and prying about foi
finger-marks on the paint in hor odd,
near-sighted way.
"Mr. Pelham,” says she, nibbing
away at a door-knob that was as bright
before as hands could make it, "what
would you say if we were to have awed-
ding iu the old house ?”
"A wedding 1” I dropped my pen so
that it made a big round blot on the pa-
^'er, and stared. "Why, yon’ro not go
ing to be married, Hannah, ufter all
tb®* vears?”
• •UoY look like it?” sniffed Hannah,
oontemptrk°u»ly—and, to toll the truth,
she didn’t very much. "No, indeed,
air; I hope I ki’ow my place better than
that. It’s Mine Maggie I’m thinking
of, sir.”
I sat as if I hod been stricken with a
paralytio shock. Maggie to bo married r
Strange that I bad never thought of
thnt, n-s a natural consequence of
parties, companies, evening concerts
and summer picnics ! And somehow a
desolate chill orept down my veins as I
thought how lonesome and dreary the
old bouse would seem without Maggie.
"What makes yon think so, Han
nah ?” I asked rather dolorously, aud
the old woman lowered her voice mys
teriously as she answered :
"It's that Mr. Carlisle—he keeps oom-
jpg all the time, and it’s my honest be
lief .be just worships the ground my
yonng lady walks on. He is very hand
some, too, and folks tell me he’s worth
money.”
Mr. Carlisle I Well, old Hannah was
right He wad a fine-looking fellow,
and well-to-do ip this world’s goods; but
—who was there, after all,, worthy of
my tall, golden-haired princess with
dewy blue eyes and lips like seerlet
coral newly pluck ad out of the sea?
Why eootdn’t Oarliak> go off au«* .rgasQR*
one of the wise Miss Simpkinses, wiithe
mother was on the look-ot’t for husbands
as an Ogress watches for eatable young
travelers ? I began to hate Carlisle.
"Pooh I” saiu I, upsetting my waste
basket of papers over the floor with an
unwary fling of my feet. "I don’fc.think
she cares for Carlisle. ”
"Just you watch her, then, and
for yourself,” said old Hannah, wisely
wagging her cap bonier. "I never did
set np for a prophet, Mr. Pelham, bnt
them us isn’t blind cun’t help seeing,
and onr eyes is given to us to use.”
So old Hannah went her way, loavlng
me about as uncomfortable us a man
has any business to be. My Maggie to
be married 1 My pretty blossom to be
plucked just as soon as it began to shed
fragrance round my door-stone. I felt
us u monarch may whose domains are
invaded by an audaoions foe. Should J
write Carlisle a note and tell him to go
about his business, or should I simply
convey to him by my manners the hint
that his presence was no longer specially
desirable, or—-but old Hannah’s words
recurred uncomfortably to my mind—
should I at first find ont whether Mag
gie really did eare for the yonng up
start ?
My head dropped on my hands—my
heart sunk somewhere below zero at the
idea ! I wondered if ail fathers felt so
when gay young cavaJiers came wooing
at their gates 1 And, after all, Maggie
wa-sn’t my real child, dearly as I loved
and tenderly as I had cherished her.
I think I hardly slept all that night.
I tossed to and fro on my pillow, count
ing the chimes of the old clock, as one
by one it told the hours, thinking about
Maggie and Carlisle, and wondering if
tho tardy daybreak would never redden
over the hill-tops.
By that time my mind was made np.
I would repress all these selfish ideas
and only think of my girl’s ultimate
happiness. If she liked Carlisle, why
Carlisle should have her.
I rose, dressed and went down to my
study. The first thing I saw was a note
lying on my library table. Probably i
had arrived late last night. I broke the
seal; it was from George Carlisle, asking
permission to address Miss Magdalen
Pelham.
Well—it was nothing more than I had
expected—in fact, it rather expedited
matters, which onght not to run too
slowly. I refolded the epistle, and
looked severely at myself in the opposite
glass.
"Yon middle-aged old fogy,” quoth I,
staring at, myself with the severest ex- i
pression of countenance I could call np i
at so short a notice, "I see through yon. 1
You have dared to suppose bright-eyed i
Magdalen could prefer you to these gay ;
young fellows nearer her own age—you
have even presumed to fall a little spioe
in love with her yourself. It will do you

"Well ?” I quoth, “what do yon say?"
"What do l my? No, of conrao I”
"You mean you, my dear,’’said I, "if
you’ll only ta ko time to think.”
" I moan nol" she flashed ont. "Oh,
Mr. Pelham, how oau you think so
basely of me?"’
"Basely, my dear. I don’t oompro-
hend you.”
She was Inclining to cry now—big,
sparkling drops like the first glittering
diamonds of a July shower.
"I don’t love him. I never oau love
him.”
"But, why not, my dear?"
"Booaiiso I love somebody else,” she
sobbed, growing pinker aud prettier
than ever.
"Who is it, Maggie? You’ll toll mo,
won’t you ? Why, child"—as she shrank
blusbingly back—"I am old enough to
be yonr father I"
"You are not 1" she oxolalmed, indig
nantly, "and yon are tho last person in
tho world I would tell!’’
"My darling, why not ?”
The enigmas these women are) in
stead of answering me, she began to
ery again as if her dear little heart was
going to break.
And suddenly a great light flashed in
upon my mind 1

The Composition of thn On.- Cent
Do you know of what the common
ona cent piece is oomposed? It is
ninety-five per cent, of copper and five
per cent, of tin and zino. There is no
nickel in it. Its real intrinsic value is
abont one-tenth of a oent. The old
penny used to be made of pure copper,
and was worth one-third of a cent Few
counterfeits have been made on the one
oent pieoe. It would not pay. Too
many wonld have to be made and dis
tributed to produce any money for the
sharpers. The old penny was once
counterfeited, the fraud being made at
Birmingham, England. It didn’t pay,
and the counterfeiters gave it up for
a bad job.—Albany Argix.

same way, and you will have to got

Finally she said: "I’m dreadfully sleepy,
