How can a man eggspectorate
As truthful, honest, jnst and square,
Who coolly will eggsaggerate
When speaking of this egg affair?
There’s one from that excited throng,
Who says he “saw the very lad”
That eggsecuted the great wrong
Which made the Weaver crowd so mad.
We’ll urge this eggspert to eggsplain
To all who would this thing eggsplore,
If this eggsasperated swain
Threw only one egg, or threw more.
Don’t try to eggsculpate the one
Who throw the eggsecrated egg;
If thrown in anger or in fun,
Eggspose the number flung, we beg.
But one eggsclaims: “I know him well,
A candidate, I do declare.”
But he in turn eggsults to tell
His friends and foes “1 was not there. 1

HThis whole thing bus been magnified,
And, tho’ to say it may bring grief,

“If it didn’t look as if I were try
ing to gain some benefit from yonr
umbrella,” he remarked as he hap
pened to meet her on the church
steps after service, “I would ask
to walk home with you. I didn’t
expect rain when 1 left home, so I
am unprotected.”
“However,” came her clear re
ply, just arch enough to be fasci
nating, and just tender enough to
be frank, “if you’ll carry my um
brella and let me'turn my energies
to keeping my dress up out of the
mud, I’ll be very thankful to you.”
They had walked, strangely
euoughjahalf way home in almost
complete silence, when a man and
a woman passed them, like them,
under one umbrella, but, unlike
them, the woman was held snugly
close to the man’s side as she clung
to his arm. It was a picture of that
open freedom which so undeniably
marks a congenial man and wife,
whose companionship has ripened
into frank trust.
As they passed Robert Court-
right said, half thoughtfully, per
haps:
They are sensible. If two are
trying to use one umbrella, they
are surely to be commended if they
strive to take up as little room as
possible. Even if it be noon, won’t
you take my arm?”
But they are- plainly not such—
such strangers as we,” she return
ed, conscious that both were tread
ing on dangerous ground.
Are we strangers?” he asked
quickly, turning his eyes search-
iugly to her.
The pretty face grew a trifle
pale against its light-brown hair,
A lump seemed to climb to her
throat, but she returned bravely:
“Yes—that is, we’ll always be
strangers compared with them.”
He stopped for an instant and
gazed fixedly at lmr till a hot flush
flew up-from out her dark fur col-
world, with necessity for keeping
up a life in which all interest and
all energy were dead. She had at
last risen from a tedious illness,
and the nurse herself scarcely rec
ognized the tall, pale, sad-faced
woman, with the short dark curls,
as the bright-eyed, light-haired
girl of six months before. Gabriel
had one thing dear to her, and only
one, and that was a memory. And
some of our dearest memories are
the cruelest parts of our lives.
When finally she stood before a
mirror, and realized that that
changed creature was herself, a
mighty resolve filled her—she
would go to the source of that
memory.
She knew where he was; she
knew, that he had married three
years after that bitter morning in
the rain,and had married a wealthy
wife. That was the reason that she
had thrust him back from her long
ago, just because of his pcfverty.
Not that it would pain her, a thou

bition and his capabilities; knew
his dreams of success,and she real
ized his ability to turn the. dreams
into realities. She was poor. Would
she permit herself to hang a m ; ll-
stone about his neck? No; she
would hurt his heart before she
would ruin his life.
Time had proved that she Had
been right. His wife was a beau
tiful woman, and her wealth had
opened boundless opportunities to
him. Hfe had risen—she had known
that he would. But, now shat she
was scarcely able to know herself,
she would venture into his world
and see for’berself how happy arict
proud and prosperous he was.
So, having spent all but her last
bill for her ticket, she stepped into
Philadelphia one evening, steeling
her heart to what might follow.
The next evening she had walked
past his great, rich house, and was
starting back when a sudden show
er burst unexpectedly upon her
She gathered up her skirts in
that particular way so characteris
tic of a dainty woman,and was hur
rying along when all at once she
was conscious of a sharp, childish
cry at her side. Turning, she be
held a tall, sad-faced man trying
to quiet a fretful baby of about 3
years, which held out its dimpled
hands to her and cried
“Mamma! Mamma!”
The gentleman strove to stop it,
and Gabriel started on. Bat sharp
and piercing came the “Main-ma!”
and her heart bade her linger.
For the first time the man spoke
to her*
“I must beg your pardon, mad
am. His mother has just died aud
something about you seems tojiave
recalled her to him.”
Gabriel’s heart softened at once.
Going straight up, she took the ti
ny, outstretched hands in her own
and murmured: “Poor, motherless
•‘If you will walk under my um
brella, as I am going your way for
this square, you can keep dry. And,
too, I fear baby won’t like to part
with yon now.”
There was no easy way to re
treat. It would have been absurd
to scud off in a changed direction
through the pelting raiD, so she
continued talking hurriedly to the
child. As they reached the foot
of the broad stone steps she stop
ped. “I cannot thank you enough
for having calmed Leslie. His
nurse left this morning,and he will
not be consoled by any of the oth
er servants. So I finally told Mrs.
Clarke, the housekeeper, that I
wo'uld try him for a walk. But will
you not-take the umbrella? It will
be a shame to expose yourself to
such a deluge.”
She gracefully declined all thanks
and such kiud offers, and glided
quickly off, a tall, black-robed fig
ure, daring the watery drops. But
a perfect shriek from baby arose
when he found himself deserted in
this fashion, and each succeeding
cry became louder and more dis
tressing. Again Gabriel could not
go. Again she came back to him.
“Will’you please come into the
house with him? Mrs. Clarke may

So Gabriel, carrying the child,
entered his house, unknown, but’
welcome even then.
Leslie was not to be easily de
ceived, and all the ruses were seen
through immediately by his care
ful, big blue eyes.
“We must get a nurse-maid this
very night,” declared Mrs. Clarke,
as she endeavored in her practical,
cold-hearted way to inveigle the
youDg lord from his new“mamma.”
“But,” groaned Mr. Courtright,
“where can one get one which he
can trust on such short notice?”
A bold idea entered Gabriel’s
head. She tried three or four
times to speak, and her voice fail
ed. Finally she choked back the
lumps in her throat and said:
“Would it be ’presumptions for
me.to offer myself? I can show
you excellent references, and I am
now looking for some such posi
tion.”
“You a nursemaid?” exclaimed
Mr. Courtright iu amazement.
TheD, a moment later, he would
have given much to have it back
unsaid; her plain black gown was
darned at the elbows—it was mere
ly her way of wearing it that gave
her the appearance of a woman of
long founded culture and delicacy.
Two years went by, in which
Miss Yarney, as she was now
known, undiscovered, was loved by
and loved in return Mr. Court-
right’s two children. It was one
evening in March,just before dnsk>
when she had left Leslie up stairs
asleep and had just come down to
the drawing-room with Mabel, to
stay with the child till her father
came to dinner.
. He was"late and Mabel had wan
dered off to a back parlor, thus
leaving Gabriel alone in the dimly
lighted room when Mr. Courtright
finally entered.
“I shall call Mabel,” she began,
starting from her station by the
window.
“No, Miss Yarney; stay. I have
something to say to.yon. You re
member howmoved I was the first
lime Leslie called you ‘mamma?’

it was because of the memory of

been his mother if the fates had
been kinder. Do you know, Miss
Yarney, that you often remind me
cruelly of a woman I loved better
than the world?”
“Your wife?” She was glad that
it was dark enough to hide the
trembling of her lips.
“No, not my wife. I foved Ma
rie one way; she was tender and
true to me. But the woman that I
really loved-^” Then, after a short
pause, he went on: “But what I
meant to say to you Is this: I have
learned to love yon a thousand
times better than I did Marie, and
sometimes, I almost think, as mnch
as I loved—the dearest one. Can
you, will you hate me if I ask you
to be Leslie’s mamma in trnth as
well as in word?”
SlowJy came the reply: “But
yon love the first woman best of
all, even yet?”
“Yes, I do. But, as I said, I of
ten almost think that you are she
when I stop to realize how I feel
toward you.”
Moment after moment went by.
The shadows came closer, and the
rim of lighter clouds near the west
horizon grew narrower. At last
she said: “I, too, loved in the long
ago. But I can never in any way
love another man. Bnt—”
Before she could finish the sen
tence Mr. Courtright had recog
nized in his governess the “best
loved one of all,” and it is needless
to say that the umbrella episode
resulted in Miss Vaughn’s really
becoming the mamma of baby
Leslie.
A Scotchman sat one evening
looking at some mice, relates a
writer in the Scottish-American.
An idea strnck him. He decided
to set the little thieves spinning
yarn, and it was probably a very
astonished pair of mice that found
themselves a few days later work
ing a small tread-mill in a cage
like those in which rats and other
small animals are kept, but with
out the slightest idea that they
were paying their board in this
way. An ordinary mouse can twist
over 100 threads on reeds every
day, although to do this he has to
run 10J miles.

The word “pig” as applied to

are called the “pigs.” Here the

Now “sow”{bas notbingpwhatever to

Valdosta Times. .
No greater blessing can come to
this country, in this good year,
1892, than the election of Grover
Cleveland to the Presidency. The
time is at hand for the overthrow
of the sharks and cormorants who
have been devouring ’the common
people for a generation, unless the
signs of the times fail.
Grover Cleveland is the firm
and courageous champion of the
rights of the plain people. He is
the only man in the history'of the
world who has lived up to the
sentiment that he would rather be
right than President. Knowing
the full force of what it meant;
looking the situation sqnarely in
the face; against the admonitions
of politic' advisers about him, he
sent that single-topic message to
Congress demanding a redaction
of that burdensome tariff tax
which was consuming the people
of the country. He could have
lived on under the iniquitnous
system and still have been Presi
dent, bnt in reply to the anxious
inquiries of close cabinet friends
—his chosen advisers—he said, “I
will send this message to Congress
if it defeats me.”
The world knows the result. He
was defeated by the employment
of-an immense corruption fund,
raised by the rich and lordly bene
ficiaries of that iniquitnous system
which he wonld strike down. But
that single-topic message went
like a cannon shot round the
world. It pat people to thinking.
Two years later it bore its fruits in
an overwhelming defeat of the
Republican party at the polls. Un
fortunately it was not a Presi
dential year, and we captured only
the House of Representatives.
.The second engagement is now at
band. Another snch victory and
the cause Grover Cleveland repre
sents will sorely capture every
branch of the Government, and the
cause of the plain people will tri
umph fully and completely.
But dangers beset ns on .every side.
By a very shrewd indirection these
cormorants cast the apple of dis
cord into the very home of Democ
racy in the South, and divisions
menaced oar very existence as a
political party. Fortunately we
have practically overcome this new
danger. Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama cast it forth. Another peril
confronts ns. They have applied
the same “fat frying” process to
the rich manufacturers, and have
raised another immense corruption
fund. One of their papers insolent
ly boasts that they have secured “a

York alone.” Think of it! This
fand at one hundred dollars a head,
wonld send 20,000 voters fishin,
on election day who nnmolestd
would vote the Democratic ticket.
Is it possible to overcome this im
mense leverage?
As we said above, we will suc
ceed unless all signs fail. This
corruption fund can alone change

“What did you talk about?”
“The tariff.”
“Did yon tell them that the tar

‘Certainly.”
Now, papa, if the tariff is not a
tax and the consumer dqes not pay
it, will yon please explain to ns
what this means on the bottom of
this bill that came with the guns?”
Here the lad produced the bill,
and on the bottom of it was writ

“Mr. Elkins, we are obliged, to
