Mary B. Corley, in Boeton Transcript.
Softly the waves creep up the shore,
Idly the seagulls dip and soar,
The sunset light grows dim;
“What care we if it fade or shine?
Come to a realm all mine and thine.”
So must I follow him.
Side by side as the years go by,
Under a bright or a cloudy sky,
Close to his heart alway.
Ever as sunlit hills grow brown,
Still, as the golden snn goes down
Ont of the dying day.
Feet, that fell on your weary way,
Pass! I follow through night and day
To one blank mystery grown;
Clouds hang low and the stars are dim.
Into the dark I follow him,
Into the far unknown.

George Peters wns a very, very
methodical person for so young a
man. When a letter got into Pe
ters’s hands it went through a cer
tain rouutine and the answer de
parted from him to the copying
book and from the copying book to
the envelope and the envelope, let
ter and all, with enclosures mark
ed, went into the letter box witli a
regularity that nothing bat the of
fice clock could emulate, and even
that, the clerks said, was not
egular as Peters, for they claimed
it was always fast in the morning
and mighty slow in pointing to 6
o’clock.
It is little wonder, then, that
Peters stood high in the confi
dence of old man Bentham. Ben-
tham was Bentham Brothers & Co.
There were no brothers and no
company—that was merely the
firm—it was all Bentham.' Perhaps
there were once brothers, and per
haps there was once a company,
but that is all ancient history, any
how, and has nothing to do with
strictly modern story. And it did
not interfere with the fact that old
Bentham’s name was a lovely thin
to have at the bottom of a large
check.
The clerks never speculated on
the probable effect of love on Pe
ters, because it never occurred to
them that such a thing as Peters
falling in love was within the,
bounds of possibility. Love, they
argued, was not an article that can
be docketed and ticketed and re
ferred back for farther informa
tion, and entered on the day book
and posted on the debit or credit
side of a ledger, so what on earth
could Peters do with it if he had
it? Manifestly nothing. If they
had known as much about human
nature as you or I, they would
have surmised that when Peters
did fall, it was time to stand from
under.
And who should Peters fall in
love with but the very woman of
all others whom he ought never to
have given a thought to—in other
words,* pretty little Miss Sadie
Bentham, if you please. It made
Peters himself cold when' he
thought of it, for he knew he had
just as much chance pf getting the
moon or the laureateship as the
consent of Old Man Bentham. The
clerks always said that it was Miss
Sadie who fell in love with Peters,
principally, I suppose, because she
should have known better, and I
think myself there is something to
be said for that view of the matter.
Anyhow she came to her father’s
place of business very often, and
apparently very unnecessarily, but
the old man was always pleased to
see her, no matter how busy Iip
happened to be. At fii st she rare
ly looked at Peters, but when she
did flash one of those quick glancps
of hers at him, poor Peters thought
he bad the fever and and ague. He
understood the symptoms later on.
I don’t know how things came to
a climax; neither do the clerks, for
that matter, although they pretend-
to. Besides they are divided in
tbeir opinions, so I think their
collective surmises amount to but
very little. Johnson claims that
it was done over the telephone,
while Farnam says she came to
the office one day, her father was
not there, and proposed to Peters
on the spot. One thing that the
clearks are unanimous about, and
that is, thut Peters, left to himself,
would never have had the courage.
Still, too much attention must not
be paid to wbat the clerks . say.
What can they know about it?
They are in another room.
Peters knew that be had no right
think about that girl during busi
ness hours. He was paid to think
about the old man and bis affairs,
which were not nearly so interest
ing. But Peters was conscientious
and lie tried to do his duty. Nev
ertheless, the chances are that un
consciously little Miss Sadie occu
pied some small portion of his
mind that should have been given
up to the coucerns of Bentham
Brothers & Co., and- her presence
where she had not the slightest
business to be threw the rest of his
older than I am—in manner of
course. The last man in the city

Bentham told the story.
Sadie kissed him somewhat hys-

It is very generally admitted
now that the sprightly Mis3 Sadie
managed the whole affair. No one
who knew Peters would ever have
given him the predit of proposing
an elopement—“accuse him of it,”
as Johnson puts it She claimed
that while she could manage her
father all - right enough up to a
certain point, yet in this particular
matter she preferred to negotiate'
with him after marriage rather
than before. She had a great deal
of the old man’s shrewdness—had
Sadie. He used to say he would
not like to have her as an opponent
on a wheat deal.
Well, to come to the awful point
where Peters’s methodicalness
nearly upset the apple cart. The
elopement was all settled, Peters
quaking most of the time, and he
was to write her a letter giving an
account of how arrangements were
progressing. It will hardly be
credited—and yet it is possible
enough when you think what a ma
chine a methodical man gets to be
—that Peters wrote this epistle to
his girl on his desk and put it in
the pile of letters to be copied in
to the old man’s letter book! The
office boy picked up the heap at
exactly the usual hour, took them
to the copying press, wet the thin
leaves and squeezed them in; the
love letter next to the one begin-
terically when he promised to say
a good word for Peters and said
he was very kind hearted.
“Besides, papa, you ought to
have a partner in the business.
There is ao Go., you know.”
“Bless me, child, what has Pe
ters’s wedding to do with the com
pany? He is taking the partner,
notine. I can’t take Peters into
partnership merely because he
ichooes to get married.”
“Oh, I thought it was customa

Peters got the corner curled let
ters still damp, and put them all
in their right envelopes, and Sadie
got hers in due time, but did not
know enough about business cor r
espondence to know that her first
love-letter was written in copying
ink and had been through the
press.
Next day when old man Ben
tham was looking over the leaves
of the previous day’s letters he
suddenly began to chuckle to him
self. Old Bentham had a very
comfortable, good-natured, well-to-
do chuckle that was a pleasure to
hear. Eveu Peters almost smiled
as he heard it. t
“Peters!”
“Yes, sir.”
“Have you all the letters, Peters,
that these are the answers to?
“Certainly, sir.”
“There is one I want to see, Pe
ters.”
“What is the name, please?
“Petty . I did not know that we
dealt in this line of goods, Peters:”
“H. W. Petty, sir.”
“I don’t know the initials.
Here’s the letter.”
Peters was stricken. He was
appalled—dumb-blind. The words
“Darling Petty” danced before his
eyes. He felt his hair beginning
to rise. The book did not fall
from his hand simply because he
held it mechanically—methodical
ly. Old Bentham roared, then
closed the door so that the clerks
wonkl not" hear his mirth.
“That’s one on. you, Peters. It’s
too good to keep. I must tell that
down at the club.”
“I wouldn’t if I were you, sir,
said Peters, slowly recovering his
senses as he saw the old man had
no suspicion how the land lay.
“No, I suppose it wouldn’t be
quite the square thing. . But of all
men in the world, Peters—you.
Why do you elope? Why not mar
ry her respectably at the church
or at home? You’ll regret going
off like that all your life,”
:, Miss——she—that is—prefers
There was no elopement after
all. The clerks say that it was the
conscientious Peters that persuad
ed Sadie out of it. Bat as the old
man found he had to give way, it
came to the same thing.
“Sadie,” the old man said, “I
think I’ll change the name of the
firm. I’ll retire and it will be af

Co.’”—[Detroit Free Press

to summon again the true men of
the state to their places in line.
The time has come for appealing
to the common-sense of the people
—to their patriotism and pride of
race—to their faith in southern
honor, and to their instinct of self-
preservation.
There are many honest men in
this third party movement. We
inust demonstrate as we' can that
they are being deluded by false
teachers into a senseless hostility
to the state government of their
own special selection, and against
which not one word of just criti
cism hagjieen or can be uttered.
We must8how them that they are
being fed upon false promises and
deceptive hopes, which by no pos
sibility can Be realized; that nei
ther free coinage of silver nor any
other measure of relief can ever be
secured by a third party in this
country, because that party has uot
now, nor will ever have any follow
ing of consequence outside of the
south and a few unimportant west
ern states.
Free coinage and*all other right
ful measures of relief can be se
cured through the democratic par
ty, if we act in concert; because
with the honest men of the peo
ple’s party united with the demo
crats, we have an immense popu
lar majority in the union, and can
surely defeat the republican party
gt the polls. Then the friends of
free coinage and financial reform
would constitute a great majority
of the democratic party, and would
of course control its policy at
WagUfagten.
On the otlier hand, the people’s
party is absolutely impotent as
above stated, except for evil. It is

instead of 9,000,000 bales, do com

But, whatever be the cause gf
the depression, we are not going
to find relief by breaking down the
democratic party and aiding the
republican party to retain control.
