WHAT HE SAID.
Oh, tm, m tell too the *k»rT—
The rerj words that were said.
Yon see the supper was cooking.
And I was slicing some bread.
And Richard came into the pantry;
His face was exceedingly red.
Ho opened his half-shot fingers.
And gave me the glimpse of a ring-.
And then—oh. Tea. I remember.
The kettle began to sing.
And Fumy came in with her babe—
The cunningest bit of a thing.
And the biscuits were ont in a minute—
Well, what came next? Let n>e sec—
Oh ! Fanny was there with the baby.
And we all sat down to tea.
And grandma looked over her glasses
So queer at Richard and me.
Bnt it wasn't till after milking
That he said what lie had to say.
How was it? Oh, Fanny had taken
The baby and gone away—
The funniest rogtio of a fellow—
He bad a new tooth that day.
We wow standing nnder the plum tree,
And Bichard said something low
Bnt 1 was tired and flustered.
And trembled, I almost know;
For 0)4 lied is the hardest of milkers,
And Brindle's so horribly slow.
And that—let me sec—where was I ?
Oh. the stars grew thick overhead,
An 1 we two stood nnder the plnm tree
Till the chickens flew up to bed.
Well, he loved me. and we’re to be married
An4 that is—al>out what he said.

Colonel Augustus Cliopleigh, late ol
Her Majesty's Indian Army, lived in
stately pMireniont upon his snug little
estate in One of the pleasantest of the
homo counties. From an ontaider’apoint
of view,; tho Colonel seemed to pons pan
most tliiiVgs which are generally consid
ered to constitute mundane happiness.
Yet with ull this, the Colonel had two
eternally grinning skeletons in his oup-
board.
The first was the possession of a no'er-
do-wecl son, and tho second was tho
non-possession of a wife.
Augustus Chopleigh, junior, although
k ne’er-do-weel in the eyes of a parent,
was, after all, but an ordinary, "every
day young man.” lie botted a little, it
is "tr’uo; ho belonged to a club where
play was sometimes high of an evening:
ho could drink his claret like a man; lie
was a connoisseur in cigars; he possessed
two or three long tailors'bills; and bo was
given to staying in town sometimes for
n week at a time. Still, after all, whaf
oonld be expected of a high-spirited
yonng fellow who had received a first-
rate ednention, and was thoreforo un
fitted for any serious walk iu life; who
was good-looking, who dressed well,
who ftmnil life at stately Dum Dum Hnll
a little monotonous at times, and whr
had a handsome annual allowance?
But in the eyes of tho Colonel all those
little peculiarities were heinous crimes,
and the poor old gentleman, as he pon
dered in the solitude of what ho called
his "study,” saw very clearly that nn-
lees the yonng mnn was settled iu life
with a well-bred, well-connected girl,
ho would infallibly follow, (it head
long pace, that broad road which loiub
to destruction.
Often nlone at Dum Dum Hnll, de
prived of the society of his son, and not
caring very specially for that society
when offered, it was' hardly to bo won
dered at that tho Colonel yearned for n
suitable partner in his exile.
Tho memory of the departed Mrs.
Cliopleigh conid hardly be said »o bo
yet green, for she had Biiccnmbcd to an
aggravated attack of jungle fever some
twenty years liefore, when Augustus,
junior, was bnt a stripling in plaid
dresses and bare legs. It might be said
that the remedy was easy. Why didn’t
the Colonel take nnto himself a second
Mrs. Chopleigh? There were plenty of
eligible spinsters who would have
jnuiped nt an offer from snch a fresh-
faced, active, wealthy gentleman, who
was bnt little tieyoud the prime of life.
There was, however, an almost invinci
ble obstacle. Unlike most military
men, Colonel Chopleigh was painfnllv
shy; perhaps remembrances of the de
parted Mrs. Cliopleigh, who was known
as the Dum Dum Tartar, had driven ont
the yontliful assurance which had won
her; at any rate, the flutter of a petti
coat awakened feelings within tho gal
lant Colonel’s breast which were not to
be stirred by a horde of yelling, mutin
ous Sepoys; or bv the stillest bullfinch
In the county. He had loved at a dis
tance a score of times, bnt hsd never
placed himself within speaking reaoh of
ions obieots of his affeotior
ladies alone with him in the siune field,
and he was afraid that in ease of acci
dent he’d lisve to assist them. He's,*
tall old fellow, with a fresh complexion
and * gray moustache, and alwavs wear--
shepherd’s plaid trousers, summer and
winter. Why, what’s the matter?"
"O dear ! O dear ! flns. don't go on.
please don't, or 1 shall die of Ian (thing !’’
"Why, whai is there to laugh at in it.
Millie? Fy .Tore, if yon saw him in a
ttfKiPW yon won Un't laugh
“Why, tvo dearest Oris '—he's—he’s
in love v.ih me “
"The old Ivy —my father—iu love
with von? Nonsense, my dear non
sense, \ sav. Why, he's more afraid of
a girl than of ar. earthquake, or a Ivw-
constrictor. or anything. What oc earth
make* you think he’s iu love with
you ?"
"Why, Gas, every day when I come
along here he’s walking iu the garden.
I’ve always taken him for the steward,
or some one, and he makes such eyes at
me. Oh, you'd laugh if you coaid see
him. I try not to, but I kuow 1 blush
and look awfnllv silly."
"By Jove, Millie, it’s no laughing
mnttcr—that it isn't. A mau> father
liis rival in love !”
That evening Mr. Gns appeared at
home at an unusually early hour.
"Well I” was tho greeting of his
parent, "Ton’ro not here bo precious
early, with that goody-goody face, for
nothing, I’m sure, you yonng scamp!
When yon turn up punctually to dinner
I know you wnut something ont of me.
Bnt, mind, not nnothcr halfpenny do
yon get. I’ve already advanced your
Ipiarter’s allowance, nnd if you’ve bfien
squandering it on actresses and race-
meetings, and unlimited loo, and dinners
at the Bristol, I don’t help you. And
not only that, sir, but I’m going to put
a stop to it. Once for all—and Augustus
Cliopleigh's a man of his word—I don’t
rare if Btulty, or Golding, or Moses, or
any of them come down and duu you at
this very door, not a rupee do you get
ont of me.”
"What a deneo of a hurry you’re iu,
father !” said the young man. "I don'
want nny money.”
"Well, what the dickens is it then?”
said the old gentleman, seeing that his
son looked confused.
“Why—wdl, I'm in love, that’s all,”
replied Gns; "and I'm going to bo mar
ried to tho best girl in England—a per
fect lady, well bred, well connected,

Tho effect of this speech upon tho old
colonel was electrical, no jumped up

chilioH, rushed toward Ins son and shook
his hand heartily; his face beaming with
pleasure nH ho exclaimed: "You’re suro
of wjiat you say ? It isn't Fillno of tho
Jolity, hoy ? A lady, well tired, well
connected—
"I’vo been n bit of a sonmp, pnrliaps,
father," said the young man; "bnt I've
nover gone in for low form, so when I
tell yon site’s all that could be wisliod,
you must believomo.”
“Of conrso I will; of conrso i do I"
roared tho oolonel. "Who is she?”
"Well, I don’t want to give you her
mime just now, for mnnv reasons, but
you may take my word for it that she's
nobody to be Ashamed of,” said Gns.
"Ali right, all right; I won’t nsk any
moro questions. Ho long ns yon nre
going to steady down with a good, lady

"By gad, Gus, I thought you were go

the remainder of my life. And now, my
boy, you’vo astonished me, I’m going to
astonish you. What do you think is
about tho most unlikely tiling I should

“Give up hunting?” replied Gus,

county ? or— r
"No, no; nothing of that kind,” said
tho Colonel, chuckling. "I’m--I’m
going to bo married, too.”
The son affected tho greatest astonish
ment. The Colonel continued:
"But look here, my boy, it won’t in
terfere with your prospects, and—and,
when I sa7 I’m going to be married, I
mean that 1 have my eye on some one,

Miss Yanjohn was walking at the
identical spot at the identioal hour the
next day, and the next day after that,
aqd so on for more than a week, and
each day the same little dumb comedy
was played—sheep’s-oyes on the part
f the Oolonel, blnshings and lookings-
down on the part of Miss Millieent
Vanjohn,
Did Miss Vanjohn walk up that lane
so regularly with a fixed purpose ? Of
oourse she did.
Punctually at four o’clock every after
noon, Mr. Augustus Chopleigh, jr., met
her at the top of it. It was rather an
odd thing to do—the daughter of a well-
known parson meeting sub rosa the son
of an equally well-known colonel. The
following conversation explains it:
■ "Oh, Gus ! I begin to feel so awfully
guilty, meeting yon like this! Why
can’t we love each other openly ?
There’s nothing to be ashamed of in it”
' ■ "For more than one reason, my dat
ing. I’ve a bad reputation down here ;
about your inamorata. But I will. Do
yon know Miss Vanjohn ?”
“Tall girl, brown hair, brown eyes?”
asked Gus, innooently.
"Yes, yes—that’s tho one I She's
going to bo Mrs. Chopleigh the seooud,”
said the Oolonel, rubbing bis hands
gleefully, "I think—ahem I that if I
can sorew up my pluok, I shall speak to
her to-morrow. ’’
That evening the Reverend Aloysius
Vanjohn received an unexpected visitor in
the shape of Mr. Augustus Chopleigh.
Urged by the desperate aspect of mat
ters, the young man had resolved to faoe
the terrible parson, ns he believed him
to be, and to lay the whole state of af
fairs before him. To his glad surprise,
the reverend gentleman, who was really
a good fellow, and thought very well of
Gus, laughed heartily at the notion of
the Colonel’s Bnit, and promised Gus
that Millieent should marry him when
and where he pleased.
"I say, Gus,” roared the Colonel, ns
they were leaving tho smoking-room for
bod; "promise mo you’ll bring Mrs.
Chopleigh here directly after you’re
married.”
A few days after, Millieent Vanjohn
was quietly and unostentatiously made
Mrs. Augustus Chopleigh in London.
Faithful to his word the young man
wrote informing his father of his mar
riage, nnd telling lilm that he sboula
run down on the following day to intro
duce his bride to her new father.
The Colonel was at dinner—that is to
say, lie was playing at dinner, for whnt
with his own consuming passion and the
eager expectation witli which lie awaited
the arrival of his son and his daughter-
in-law, he sent away almost untasted
every dish that was set before him.
The door-bell rang. The Colonel
jumped np to answer it himself, but
chocked the movement,
“No, no,” he snid; "I’ll have it a sur
prise to the last,”
Gns entered.
"Here I am, father I? he said.
"Yes, yes; lint where’s ?” said
™ l ' uu ‘T ‘T U UB 7 ; the Colonel impatiently,
all fellows have in country places who Guh weut ^ ml( f ^appeared with
Millieent.
Not a bit of it,” replied Gns;
/ I ask who thi
your attentions is ?’
"Well,” answered tho Colonel laugh- ' fluVnoe hi atiii potent,“though thoirYrst

Mr. John W. Colo, 1’i'ino.pal iff tho ('Olo
School, Troy, N. Y., writes us:
Troy. N, V., April 7, 18S3.
" Having been afllicted for several years
past wilti illtio-s, tho enuso of which was un
known to mo for a lung time, and my con
tinued disability getting to bo of so serious
and distressing a character as to cause great
anxiety with my family nnd friends, I be-
rame satisfied upon clo-o investigation that
the causo of my sickness was tho discnred
condition of n>jr kidneys and liver. At t Ids
time by accident a friond who had similar
symptoms to mine, informed urn of tho great
tinprovomont In his health by Inking Hunt's
Remedy, and persuaded mo to try it, I Im
mediately commenced taking it, and from
tho first battle b gan to improve, and its con
tinued uso affords very euconra ing results. I
I can sleep soundly, walk better, nut free |
from (tains, nnd tlio severe attacks of hi ad- j
nolle iroiu which I suflered so much lmvo
disappeared, and I cheerfully recommend
Hunt’s Romoily for nil purposes which it is
advertised, i will mid in closing that my
wifo lias uto I it very successfully for | re
volting tlio attacks of sick htadacho with
which sho had been afflicted from youth."

The late 8am Ward made and lost
monoy In various wayB, and saw ono
fortune after another swept away. A
familiar story told about hint is that in
ono of his poor spells he was running a
ferry in California. He made a bet that
ho could learn to spenk tho Indian dia
lect of that region in three weeks. He
shut himself up with nn Indian for that
length of time, and by plying (lie savage
with whisky kept him talkntive mid good
natured. Ho won the bet, and said
afterward : “It was just a question of
memory and flexibility of tongue,”
His astonishing memory enabled him
to retain every story that, lie heard. As
to many other stories nover heard before,
tlioso were due to his own inventive,
genius.
Ho paid suit to and won Emily A^tor,
the daughter of William B. Astor, the
richest man in New York city. They
were married on Jan. 26, 1838. She died
three years after thoir marriage, leaving
ono child, Margaret Astor Ward, who
subsequently married Congressman John
Winthrop Chnnler. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Ohanler are dead, bnt a largo family
The Colonel staggered at first, and survives them, and these nro tlio solo
something like a frown gathered on his 1 desceudents of Sam Ward,

said, addressing Millieent: I Orleans, Medora Gri mes, a daughter of
“I am indeed delighted to welcome ; John Randolph Grymes, came to New
York and created a sensation by her ex
traordinary beauty and accomplishments.
Sho was engaged to a Frenchman, but
Sam Ward out out the Frenchman and
was married to her in September, 1843.
They had two children, who died young.
Their married life was not happy ami

Beside that put the sweet domesticity of
1884. The only camp fire you now lit

millions and billions in devastation of
property and life; 1884, with flnanoee

Look at the long line of ehnrohee and
universities and asylums and home* with
which during the last two deoades this

compensate for the hardships of 1864?
