Who’s been n writin’ tew you, d’ye vou think?” Farmer Stehbins took oil' his warn, cooil-skin cap, tied the ears ' together, and hung it up; then lie felt in each pocket for his horn spectacles. “Thev'tc in the ltible whore you lefl'cm lust night, pa," said his daughter. Then she produced them, and he fitted them over his nose and held the letter out a good arm's length before him. “J-o-h-n -f-a c-o-b S-t-e-b-b-i-n-8,” read the old farmer slowly ami.in a loud voice. “That’s me for sure. Now the question is, us yon say, whose been an’ writ to me?” “For mercy sake, do open it,” said Mrs. Stcbbins. “1 shall fly if you set there and linger it any more 'thout knowin’ what it means.” “Ves, pa, do read it,” urged the daughter. “Maybe it is an offer of a school tor me.” “Like enufl! like enull!” answered her father. “Let’s see what tbo post mark is. Why, it’s Bosting! Bosting cz sure cz I’m a livin’ man." “Call me if you happen to need me,” said Mrs. Stehbins, with a fine sarcasm. ‘ I’m goin out to set the salt risin’ for the bread.” “Gimme the stamp, pop,” said John Jacob Stcbbins, jr. “They’re don't nobody rile to us ouly Het ty’s beau, and he don’t send eny- thing but postal keer.ls.” By Ibis time Mr. Stebbins had slowly and laboriously succeeded in gelling the envelope oil the let ter. A bank check for $10,000 fell out. It was beautifully printed in green an.l gold, and endorsed on its bank with the name on its face; not a line accompanied it. “G r-c-a-t Jerusalem!” exclaimed the farmer, “here’s a windfall. Xow who do you 'spose, wife, ever sent me sieli a heap of money?” “ t he laud knows,” said his wife, who had done nothing hut stare at the check. “D’ye ’spose Uncle Silas has come back from furiu’parts,and died and left me the knll of his estate?” “He never did such a thing be fore.” said Mrs. Stcbbins, inno cently. “We can movo into town,” said Miss Hetty, proudly. “So we kin,”said John Jacob, jr., and I'll hare a vlosipcdc and a bisikel and plaid close and bang my hair. Hooray! Won't we big apples swim, tiro’!” “Stop your noise,” said the per plexed farmer, looking in the di rection of a birchen stick that pro truded from tire clock-shelf. “Vou needn't think you’ll git all you want ’cos I’m rich. I can find lots of places for money, un’ don't you forgit it, young man!” “Fcyther,” said Mrs. Stcbbins, “there's only one tiling I’ve allua wanted to liev in case we ev. r got rich, an’ now I can hev it. It seems too good to lie true.” “Some fol-de-rol, I suppose; out with it, then: you haven’t been half a bud wife and I don't mind letting you hev one silk gown, if it don’t corno to dear.” “But it ain’t a silk gown, feytb- er,” said Mrs. Stebbins, bridling. “Oil, it's a gold neckcliain, is it, with a watch dangling on the end, so ye sue how you waste time? Well, if I did gel this monce easy, I don’t stand no sort of chance of foolin’ it away. I know it’s renl value too well.” “I guess what’s yours is mine,” said Mrs. Stcbbins, shortly. “An’wlmt's mine is my own; I’m going to build on a new wing to the house with this, and buy in ' welcome him in some fine stock, and the meadow lot so Hetty can.live with us when ebe gets married to Jim Vance.” “Indeed! Jim Vance! I guess I'll go to the city and get acquainted with the folks, now we’ve got mon ey," said Miss Hetty. “Jim is only a' common farmer boy; not but wbat he ain't a good fellow, but mebbe I can do better now.” John Jacoo, Jr., gave a long whistle. “I wouldn’t givo up Jim till I see the other fellow, Het,” he said, provokingly. Isn’t a camel ncaror’n thousand miles of us. How kin I git Imir to make ye a shawl?” “He never called me‘woman’ bo- fore,” sobbed his wife. “To think I should ever be called a ‘woman’ by my own husband, too. Ob, John Jacob Stebbins, what a slmme to let monoy harden your very soul in tills way.” “It’s enough to drive n man dee- stractc.l, crazy,” said the farmer, stamping around (lie room; “you John, go and feed the cows. I clean forgot them ” "I ain’t a-goin’ to feed no caows ennymore; you kin hire another man,” said the youth, spreading himself. Mr. Stebbins rose anil took down the means of grace from behind the clonk, but with a mocking laugh the youth Bed out of reach “What’s tee matter witli you, Hetty?” asked tbo unhappy man, as lie saw large tears roiling down l,:.. .1 f... ..

Just to think that I—boo—hoo— may have to wear diamond ear rings, and I (sob, sob,) never bad my ears bere.il” “I'd bo mighty glad to change places with you,” muttered the an gry farmer.' Then, going up to his wife he placed his hand on her bony shoulder. 'Come, wife, cheer lip. If there's a camel to lie hail for love or money, you shall have that shawl. I ’spose I mought ez well give in fust cz last. Cheer up old wo man." “Old woman!” shrieked Mrs. Stcbbins. “He calls me ol.II Have I lived all these long years to have that man tell me to my face 1 ’m old? John Jacob Stcbbins, I halo you! I s-c-o r-n you! Keep your money! I’m a-goin’ to leave you! Ves! 1 will her somethin’new! I’ll hev a divorce!’ Mrs. Stebbins tlircw her check apron over her head and sobbed aloud. “Great Scott!” exclaimed the be wildered man, “wlmt’s going to come next? netty, me an’ your mother never had a rale quarrel yet, an’ she is a-talkin’ or a di vorce, an' John Jacob a sassin’ me to my face; it's till on akkount of tlmt miserable, consarncd money. Take the check and send it back to the unknown liend as sent it; nary a cent of it will 1 tech!” “I aint afraid of it, pa,” said Hetty, wiping her tears away. Then she begnn to examine the cheek with a look of sudden inter est. At last she exclaimed: “Why, pa! You never rend it!” Then she laughed; slowly at first, then louder and louder till she lm.1 a regular lit of hysterics. Mrs. Stcbbins ran for remedies and Mr. Stcbbins pounded her on the back. When she got her breath again she nearly repeated the operation, end each time tlmt she looked at the check she went into spasms of laughter. “ll’e nothin’,” she gasped, with a reference to the check she still held in her hand, “nothin’ in the world hut an advertisement!” “The loots ain’t nli dead yet,” said the farmer, dryly. “I might ha’ knewed there was a catch some where." “I must set the bread risin’,” said his wife demurely, as she fold ed her tent like the Arabs and si lently stoic away. “I’ve fed the critters,” sai.l John Jacob, jr., who bad been listening at the door, and now put in a shame-faced appearance. “I’m thankful I escaped a livin’ man," said tho tanner as lie tore the bogus check into a thousand pieces. “There’s a inanat the door,” said Hetty. “Why, it’s Jim Vance— dear"Jim!” and she hastened to William Marshall, who died last week at Fort Mackinac, Michigan, was undoubtedly tbe oldest enlisted man in tbe army. He entered the service by enlisting in a company of tbe 5th United States infantry, August 12th, 1823.

Wasiiin.iton, June 4 There is now every reason to beliove that Tilden will not accept the nomina- tionof the Democratic Convention. Representative Dorsliciiuer.ol Xow York, having heard the contradic tory statements of Congressmen who have been calling on Tilden this spring ns to Tilden's intentions in regard to the nomination, deter mined to ascertain exactly what Tilden proposed to do. Through Charles A. Dana lie learned tlmt Tilden would not lie a candidate before the Democratic Convention. This information Mr. Dorslieimcr has conveyed to ills Democratic friends in the -Senate and House. Tho result is a very genera! expres sion of sentiment by both Senators anil members in favor of the nomi nation of Bayard. Bayard and Mc Donald is the ticket most general ly named. In his letter to Mr. Dana, asking him to see Mr. Til.icu, Mr. Dorsheimcr sai.l that tho Dem ocratic parly was suffering through the general uncertainty as to Mr. Tilden’s intentions. The party, lie said, was drifting to and fro, rud derless and befogged, at a lime when it was necessary to go for ward confidently. He begged Mr. Dana, for thu party’s sake, to sec Mr. Tilden, show him the evil effects of the present uncertainty and urge iiini to declare himself. Last Friday Mr. Dorslieimcr went to New York and saw Mr. Dana. Tile latter reported that lie had visited Tilden and had submitted to him all the arguments presented in Mr. Dorslicimer’s letter. After listening patiently Mr. Tilden re plied tlmt lie had not wavered an instant in his purpose to lorbid the use of his name. Ho then showed to Mr. Dana a letter wvitteu by himself in which in terms most |iosilive, emphatic and unequivocal, he not only refuses the use of his name, but declares tlmt lie would not accept the nomination if ten dered him, an.l tlmt lie womd not be a candidate under any circum stances. "I wrote tlmt letter,” said Mr. Tilden, to Mr. Dana,“in substance, two months ago, with the intention of making it public then, but they persuaded ipe to witliold it lor a time, and I shall now Imvo it read at the State Democratic Conven tion, on the ISLli of June.” In speaking of “they” Mr. Tilden re ferred to Messrs. Bigelow, Manning and several other Democratic poli- tlclans wlio held very close rela tions witli him. He said that they had soiqe purposes to subserve which which would Imvo lieen In jured by/the immediate publication of thu letter, nn.l as lie, |H>r- soimlly, did not care for a litll - de lay, lie consented to witliold it un til the meeting of the Stato Con vention. Mr. Dana assured Mr. Dorshoimer that lie saw and read Mr. Tilden’s letter, nn.l that there wns no question of Mr. Tilden’s tincerity—that he is not and will not be a candidate under any con sideration. Thu purpose to be sub served on the part of Mr. Manning nn.l the other Tilden advisers, is eelicved to lie the substitution of Cleveland in Tilden’s plat e. Flow er is rcgurilcd Imre as out of the race. Mrs. Spurgeon, the invalid wife of tiie Iambus London preacher, Ims established a “hook fund” from which she supplies hooks to poor ministers of all denominations. By making frames Ter photographs she has earned $2. r >0 whicli r.lu- has devoted to this work. Last year she gave away more than 7,000 books, nn.l during the past six years she lias distributed nearly 42,000. While sawing a log recently in a Mississippi mill the wo.kmen were astonished to see the log suddenly take lire and the machinery stop. Examining the saw, they discover ed that every loot 11 was gone, and on splitting the log a cannon hall was found buried in the heart. In 1‘lnmas county, Cal., the quail are so plentiful thatilicy run around like.ehickens, come into door-yards, and even enter the houses, and a number have recently been caught In this way aud are kept as pets.
