“EVERYBODY LOVED HIM.”
Far. better than the graven stone,
The sculptured urn, the column tall.
These words they said
Above the dead,
“He loved and was beloved by all!”
By some rare grace that he possessed
From life’s beginning to its end.
All hearts he won.
-Jfr Nor looked upon
A stranger but to find a friend.
Ah, well it were to live and die,
Whatever heights of fame we miss,
To win from lips
At life's eclipse,
So sweet an epitaph as this.
Far better than the graven stone,
The sculptured urn, or column tall,
To have it said
When we are dead,
“He loved and was beloved by all ”'
—Josephine. Pollard, in the Ledger.

BY REBECCA HARDING DAVIS.
My story dates back nearly seventy
years, but it is a true story, and its sig¬
nificance is as forcible and fresh as if the
incidents had occurred but yesterday.
In 1820 there was living in the north¬
ern part of Alabama an old Frenchman \
whom we shall call Jean Paulet. He was
*younger son of a noble family in Avig- !
non-, had come, a mere lad, to fight for
tJfe cause of freedom in this country un
and der Lafayette,and bravely until had borne himself well j
the battle of Brandy- i
wine, where he lost his right arm, and
was obliged to leave the service.
His father was guillotined during the i
Reign of Terror of Paris. Jean escaped, ;
returned, with the young wife whom he I
tad married, to this country, and found j
his way to a village in Alabama to which ;
rmany FBench refugees had fled. !
When the little money which they had
brought with them was spent, they scat
bored. Many of them made their way I
tack to Trance. Jean Paulet, with his
one child, Rose, a girl of twelve, re¬
mained. His wife was dead, Jeau
earned a small sum occasionally by teach¬
ing French to the children of the neigh
boring platters. He and Rose were
happy and merry as two children, but :
■often they were hungry, and always
shabbily clothed. *
|
, One day, as usual, old Judge Pope j
■called at PauHPs cabiu to smoke a pipe \
with him.
“Moshcer,” he said, “I have an idea! i
Why have you never applied for 1
a pen
sion? The country lias owed it you for ;
many years. The" back payments will
amount to a considerable sum.”
“Do you mean zat ze Republique zall I
pay me for ze service I give it?” He 1
'drew himself up stiffly. “No zare! i
J ean Baulet offered his body and his life
to ze help of ze American people. His j
body and his life vas crippled for dem
but zey will not insult me by paving for !
datl” *
, “Nonsense!” was the judge's h-revev- .
. ,, ■ outhioak ,, of patnotism.

myself and you will be a rich man when
you come back. ^Thcn 1 will draw on
“ Si, ,S il
The kindly i - but peremptory old judge
had his way. Rosy was taken out to the
plantation and received with delight by
Mrs. Pope, tne children and » swarm
of young negroes with all of whom the i
French child was a pci.
Monsieur Paulet, iu a new writ of
clothes, money . . and ticket in a brown
portmanteau, belonging rc the judge, was
escorted by almost nil the population of ,
the to begin village^ his to journey, the inn and from departed, which he load- was
<ed with, prayers and good wishes for
good luck.
It is hard for the people of the present
time to understand the traveling of those
days. Jean Paulet started in November
for Washington on horseback. Whenjhe
reached the Ohio River where he expect
ed to take a' boat, it was frozen over,
Then began a long and perilous journey
in an open sled along the banks. It was
late in January when he reached Wheel
ing, W. Va., the terminus of the National
Road.
He was exhausted and feeble, and his
■money was nearly spent, but he was
thankful, sure now that his troubles were
over.
Stage-coaches ran regularly between j
Wheeling and Baltimore. Poor little
monsieur climbed into one of these one
stonny day at noon, and. wrapping him
self in his "blanket, deposited his port
manteau in the straw at the bottom of the
coach and curling himself up on the seat,
slept heavily. He did not waken until
the coach drew up in a little village in j
Pennsylvania, long after nightfall.
The inn door stood open, and a savory
smell of supper poured out. Several
coaches, with their teams of prancing
horses, stood in the great inn-yard, and
hostlers, guards and drivers were stamp
the guard in the window at monsieur.
Jean, who was the only passemjer,
w^tin^room"’ hurricd “ tothe
“There* seenis to lie a 4id grand concourse
of ze coach here." he to a negro
waiter.
“Yes, sah. Itis one of the big sta

a short, untidy old mm. who
stood with hi. hack to the fire i>eer«2
through hi* spectacle* at the nassengeri.
Egs bald head rcse red and shining above
his little, ferret-liks eyss; the scuff
which he took incessantly drabbled his
dirty, ruffled shirt-front. "
Monsieur, however, paid no attention !
^ t6 ^ the old ^^ hastily _
man, but ate his
supper, paid for it, and hurried out to
the coach.
It was gone 1
Another, with a different driver and
guard, drove up with a dash and toot of
the horn into its place.
“This coach for Cumberland!” the
guard shouted.
Jean stood stunned and bewildered.
He was not a practical, ready man
“Vere is my coach?” he asked. ‘-It
vasred; zis is green. It vas ze Eclipse.”
“Get aboard, Frenchy! Can’t you ride
in anything but a red coach?” shouted
the driver. “In with you!”
“C’est mon portmanteau! It is my
tickets, my money, my papers!” cried
Jean, in an agony of fright, mmiirtg to
and fro.
“What ails the old man?” demanded
one of the coachmen.
“His luggage was in the Eclipse, it
seems,” replied a guard.
“Where is the Eclipse?” lU
“Gone back to Wheeling, or on to
Cumberland. I don’t know which."
Jean heard,and stood clfimb and tremb¬
surrounded ling, while the inert, kindly but ignorant,
him, plying iiim with ques¬
tions. “Whabbut ye took yer port
manty out wid ye?” “Take a horse and
ride out the Wheeling Pike, an’ ye’ll
overtake it.” “No, sir. Ride the other
way. It’s to Cumberland it’s gone,”
“There was nine passengers got in.
Small chance Imt the.y’11 take the prtrt
manty among Iherrt?”
Jean, in all Ms dismay, had yet some
common sense left. He asked to be taken
in to 'be Superintendent, and told his story
broken English, with many gestures
and tears,
Now. old Mr. Boyce, though he paid a
high sum for a front pew in church,never
had been known to give a penny in char
ity, nor a kind word to any one in pain
or need. He despised all foreigners,
saw instantly, too, that a mistake had
been made which might cost the stage
company or himself some money. He
did not know which way the Eclipse had
gone, and to send a messenger in both di¬
rections would cost a few dollars,
“Why did you not take care of your
carpeteaek?” he snarled, eying poor Jean
angrily.
“O monsieur! I liaf always leave him
iu ze coach! Ze American peoples are
honest! 0 monsieur, it is my papers, my
money—all!”
“The more reason you should take care
r >f them, them Here, Joe, go out and
see if anybody knows which way the
Eclipse went.”
“Oh, I thank you, monsieur!” cried
Jean, clasping his hands. He drew It back
and waited. Joe soon returned. was
late, he reported, there were few men in
the yard, and seven coaches had started
at once. Nobody had noticed at which
gate the Eclipe went nut.
“There! You hear?” growled Boyce
'<> the old man. He knew'that the com
P»ny was responsible for the lost bag and
intended to search, for it. But the
money which must be spent he would
to pay out of his own pocket. He
laughed savagely, as he saw Jean’s mis
«y.

A week passed. evening, just be
fort,Sunset, O’RMirke, going into the inn
stable to look after his horses heard a
cry like that ol a choking animal on the
mow. He came out, shouting to the
other men, “By the powthers of war! I
dumto what it is. It’s no human bem ,
nor a horse, nor a dog. It might be a
Banshee! ’
lhe men ran m, emious and laughing, . , .
But in a moment O’Rourke came out,
quiet and pale.
“A doctor!” he said. “Mr. Boyce
you have killed him—the Frenchman!
The other men carried out their bur
den gently and laid him on the ground

starvation. The skin clung to the bones
of his cheeks, his eyes glared out of their
sockets in the skulk He Could »ot speak,
but gave short, inaudible cries. It was

he had kept silence. the
The news spread through little
town. The kindly people gathered about
thc poor stranger, doctors, and indignant
men and weeping women, all anxious to
help and nurse him. He was carried to
the minister's house. Old Doctor Mor
ton, with the judge, watched over him
all night, feeding him as they would a
baby, a spoonful at a time. Thc squire's
wife was there before day with a bowl of
wine-panada, which she had made with
her own hands. She found a crowd of
other women, rich and poor,
about ■the door of the parsonage.
“Will he live?
“Has he spoken of his _ little
again
girl? '
“Oh, if he only lives long enough to
know that we are not all murderers
The village was full of warm, hospita
ble, Christian feeling, and the thought
that a stranger had lain among them,
starving to death in his despair, for a
week, had roused them all.
Late that morning, when Jean had
wakened from his deadly lethargy, old
Boyce came skulking up to the minister’s
door. Some of his neighbor s met him
and turned their heads the other way.
They had long known the manner of man
the old doctor met him at the door.

Sam Nelson returned triumphant, with
money enough to make Jean rich. He
started at length for home in the very
coach, Eclipse, which had brought him.
It hurt him sorely to part with his
friends. He waved the poor stump of
his arm, wipiug away the tears with the
other hand.
“If it were not for my friend, the
Judge, I would bring my Rose and live
among you,” he said.
He kissed the children again and again,
bowed profoundly to the poor old
women, embraced the sturdy; bearded
farmers. It seemed as if be could not
tear himself away.
How the boys cheered Even the , old .
men joined in the shout as the red coach
went up the hill out of sight, Jean wav
ing his handkerchief out of the window.
Old Boyce watched it grimly through
his dingy office window, and then looked
at the cheering did crowd, “whom

A large thumb denotes deep thought,

palm is “the evidence of animal life.”
The “useful baud” has the fingers square
and knotty, with the thumb large. The
large thumb shows “capacity for detail.”
Smooth fingers show a sort of momentary
inspiration, which takes the place of cal¬
