HOW HE CAME TO PAY.
The editor sat with t Is head tn hi*
hand*
And hi* elbows at re*t on hi*
knee*:
He was tired of the ever increasing
denmnds
On his time and he panted for ease.
The clamor for copy was scorned
with a sneer.
And he sighed in the lowest tones:
“Won't somebody come .with a dol
lar to cheer
The heart of Emanuel Jones ?”
Just theu on the stair-way footstep
was heard
And a rap-tap loud 1 1 the door.
And the flickering hope that had
long been eierred,
lllazed up like a beacon once more ;
And there entered a man with a
cynieal smile
That was fringed with a stuhleofred.
Who remarks, as he tilted a sorry
old tile
To the back of an average head :
“I have come here to pay"—Here
the editor cried :
“You’re as wolcome ns flowors in
spring !
Sit down in this easy arm chair by
try side
And excuse me awhile till I bring
A lemonade dashed with old wine
A dozen cigars of the best. * *
Ah ! X assure you this is fine ;
Help yourself most desirable guest.
The visit or drank with a relish, and
smoked
Till his faeewore a sattisfled glow.
And the editor beaming with mer
riment joked.
I n a joyous spontaneous flow;
And then when tlie stock of refresh
ments was gone,
His guest took occasion to say,
In accents distorted.by a yarn,
‘My errand up here is to pay—”
But the generous scribe, with a
wave of Itie hand.
Put a stop to the speech of his a jest
And brought in a melon, the finest
the laud.
Ever bore on its generous breast;
And the visitor wearing a singular
grin.
Seized the heaviest half of Die fruit,
And the juice, as it ran in a stream
from his chin.
Washed tne mud of the pike from
his hoot.
Then mopping hi* face on a favorite
sheet
Which the scribe had laid care
fully by,
The visitor 1 zily rose to his feet
with the dreariest kind of u sigh,
And he said a* the editor sought his
address
In his hooks to discover his due :
“I came here to pay—my respects to
to the press
and borrow a dollar of you !"
HTTIIOUT HER COX
SENT.
It was a chilly Novemoer night
when the train got to Hampden.
Hampden was ono of those new,
unfinished places which require
the brightest of eunlignt, the
greenest frames of quivering leaves
to make them at all presentable.
Aud in ihe gray, uncompromising
medium of the November dusk
//ampden looked dreary enough
wi/fi the dark chimney of the new
silk mill rising out of the hemlock
woods, the staring Queen Anne
depot, the church which bore a
s long family reseuftlsnce to a
cbilds wooden toy, and the stone
quarry to the left, which reminded
the thoughtful looker-on of a gi
gantic fortification iu an unfinish
ed state.
“Humph !” said Mrs. Nedley, as
she looked a round her. “A queer
place,'’
H r ntice Phebe was there to
meet h r with a box wagon and a
white nosed, o'd horse.
“Folks can’t always choose
where they’re to live,’’ said Phebe
who was always in a state of an
agonism to Mrs. Nedley, “and
Hampden is good enough for me ’
“How is Phillip ?” asked Mrs.
Nedley.
“Pbilljp is well,” said Phebe, as
she helped the depot boy to hoist
Aunt Nedieys trunk iuto the wagon-
Phillip Burrow was Mre. Nedley’t
favorite nephew. S e had paid
hi- bills at school, superintended
his fortunes and finally purchased
a share for him in the new silk
mills.
“He’s ah I've got,” said Mrs
Nedley, ‘‘except Phebe, and Pheb e
and I never did hitch horses to
gether. And I want him to suc
ceed in the world ”.
But wiihin a few days a new
claimant had arisen to Aunt Neds
ley’s, protec ion and tender consuls
era/ion.
“To l>e sure, she s no relation to
me. ’ said Mrs. Nedley. “Bui her
mother was my dearest friend, and
1 ihink I will adopt her ‘for my
sake.’ ”
And it was scarcely an nour
from the lime in which she learn
ed taut Sylvia Gray was au orphan
that she wrote a kind letter to the
girl asking her to come to the
Last for a visit,
“If you like it my dear, there
need be no occasion for your going
back,” she wrote. “W« are both
alor e. Lee us >e companions for
one another.”
She had waited and waited no

reply arrived ; and while she wait
ed a plan had developed i/self in
her mind.
“If ahe ia her mother’s daughter
she can’t help being pretty," aaid
Mrs, A’edlev, “Phil ia a hand
some lad. She shall marry Phil I’’
And this explains Mrs. Nedley’s
presence at Hampden.
“/ suppose yon are still keeping
house for Phillip ?’’ said ahe to
Phebe, as they droye along in the
chill twilight.
“No," aaid Phebe, skillfully
guiding tbe old horse down a steep
place in the read.
“He ooajds, eh aaid Mrs.
Nedley.
“No, he don't board," answered
Phebe “His wife keeps house for
him.
“What V' said Mrs A’edley.
“/7e is married 1 ’ announced
Phebe very much in the tone in
which she might have BBid : “/t's
a cold evening," or the “train ia
late.”
“Phillip married ! ’ repeated the
ohl lady—married I Stop Phepe;
dou’t drive a step further ! Turn
around at once. Take me hack to
the station- I’ll return to Con
cord.”
“Ain’t you going to see Phillip?’’
asked Phebe.
“Not if he’s married, ’ answered
Mrs. Nedley, in a choked voice.
. “He's gjf a proper nice wife,’’
pleaded Pbtbe. “You’ll like her."
“No, I shan't answered Mrs.
Ned'ey. “Phillip—in tried
PhcLe, if von don't turn around
I'ii get out and walk.”
Mrs Nedley's rid was like ada
mant, and Phebe Barrow was
forced to suceomb to It.
And so I happened that Pbebe
and the white nosed pony arrived
solitary aud alone at the little cot
tage of the mi/1 superintendent an
half hour later.
Phil came out into the porch,
carrying a lamp in his hand.
Mrs. Phil r».n after him with a
pink apron tied unound her trim
waist and her brown fringe of
hair blowing back from hei fore'
head.
“Where’s my aunt ? said Phil,
as Phebe jumped out. “Didn’t she
come/”
“She came,’’ said Phebe curtly ;
“but s'ae’s gone back again.”
“Gone back again V
“Yes. She didn’t like it because
you’ve married ; so she’s gone
back by the B,OG train.”
“Oh, Phil!” cried Mrs. Barrow
who was a round, cherry cheeked
little woman, wi h soft hazel eyes
and a mouth like a rdbebud.
i'Wbat shall wt> do ? Why
didn't you cousult her before you
married me 1'
Phil Barrow broke iuto a great
laugh.
“My deal - ,” said he, “it wasn’t
hbr cjnsent I wanted ; it was
yours”
Ob ! But Phil but sue has done
so much for you.”
“She’s a good soul, but she’s ec
centric,” said ihe mill supeiinten
dent. “Go in, Pbebe, ahd get
your tea.”
‘Vm sure I can’t eat a mouth
ful,” said Mrs. Phil, despairingly.
“And I mixed the biscuit inysef;
and ibe fried chichen, and the
White mountain cake—oh, Phil !
oh, Phil 1",
‘Don’t fret, dear, said Phil*
“my Aunt Nedley has missed a
very good supper ; that I can tell
her.”
“But I’ve bbgh‘ed your future
said Mrs. Barrow, tragically Beiz
mg ihe sugar tongs.”
‘We’ll go to Concord to-mor
row and see the old ladv,” soothed
Phi’, “She must suirender if she
see’s you, wifey.”
Phebe chuckled grimly.
“Thai’s all very wall,” said she,
‘but yuu forget i hat on old lady
and a young man dou’t look at a
girl with the same eyes ”
“Hold your tongue Phebe ’ said
the mill superintendent. “What’s
the use of always croaking ?”
And then Mrs. Phil began to
laugh, and Phebe, who aftbr her
crabbed fashion was fond of her
pretty sister-in-law, laughed also
and, afier all /he dainty little sup
per was eaten with a relish, even
ihough Aunt Nedley’s face was
turned steadfastly toward Cons
cord.
Hsr own fireside had never
seemed so solitary and dreary «s
it did upon that Norenber nigut.
The maids, goasipping in the
kitchen were called upon to rekin
dle the dead fire. The tea smoky
and half cold, was served, and
Mrs Nedley was just resolving to
go to bed when Betsey brought a
letter.
“Pojiman, mum ; he left it a
week a ago,'' said ahe. It had
taken down buck of the letter
box."
“Mil," said Mrs, Nedley, fitting
on her spectacles and scrutinizing
the seal and directions “from
Silvia Gray I Now I shall hava
s me one to love in Phillip’s
place.
But she had not read three linen
before she flung the letter iodig
nuD'ly on the sulking firer
“Married ! ’ she exclaimed,
“that child ! Is everybody crazy
to get merited, 1 wonder ? And
she hopes that i'll excuse her, but
her husband thinks—follv and
nonsense ! What is her husband
to me? Betsey, my chamber can
dle !"
“Bless me ma’rn !” said Betsy
What has happened?”
Everything !" said Mrs. Nedley
“Don’t let me be called before
eight o’clock to-morrow morning.
I almost wish 'hat I coull goto
deep and sleep fotever.”
And Mrs. Nedley, it. the si
lence and soititude of her own
room, fell to thinking to what
charitable institution she could
leave her money.
Witu the Psalmists of old she
could have cried, “Vanity of vani
ties, all is vanity.”
“I loved Phillip,” she said, “and
I bad set my heart on Silvia—and
such amatch it would have been!"
She was sitting at her luncheon
the next day, with tl e cuckatoo on
one side of her and the poodle on
the other ? when Betsey, opened
the door
“Please, man," said Betsy, “com-
pany.”
“Betsy," said M»-s. Nedley, se
verely, “I told you I was not at
home to anybody to-day.’’
“Please nia'in,” giggled Itetsy,
“he would come in.”
“Who. would come in ?” said
Aunt Nedley.
“It’s me, Aunt Nedley," s*id
Phillip b arrow, “and my wife.
Don’t be vexed.”
Tne tail young mill superinten
dent came ia, with his pretty wife
hanging on his arm.
“Won’t you kiss me, Aunt Ned
ley ?" said Mrs. Phil, putting up
her rosebud lips —“for oiy mother s
sake t"
“Kb ?’’ said Mrs. Nedley.
“Lidu’t you get my letter ?" said
Phillip’s wife.
“Letter ? ’
Mrs. Nedley was more convinced
tuan ever now that she was asleep
und dreaming.
“I wrote you all about it,” said
Mrs. Phil. "Don’t you know ? 1
am Silvia Gray. I met Phillip
when he came out to Denver to
ook at the new mill machinery,
and he would be married imme
diately. He said he was sure you
would forgive him. Will you for
give him Aunt Nedley.”
“Yes, my near ; I will said Mrs.
Nedley, her face brightening np
like the full moon peeping through
mist wreaths; but why didn't
they iell me you were Silvia Grayt”
“Phillip wanted to surprise
you,” sa d Silvia hanging her
head.
“Well, he has surprised me,” said
Aunt Nedley.
She went back to Hampdee with
/he mill superintendent and his
wile, and slept in thb pre/ty pink
and white bedroom which Silvia
hud prepared sos her with so much
pains ; and she praised Silvia’s
chicken salad and prune pies, and
she even condescended to approve
of Phebe’s halfscompleled siln
counterpane; for life whs all coul«
eur de rose for her now.

A wonderful operation.
The foliosing accuunt of sn ex
traordinary surgical operation spa
pears in the New York Tribune of
recent date: In the last few years
surgeons have grown more bold
and surgery has consequen ly
tnsde great advauces. particularly
in dealing with tumors situated in
the abdomen. Burgeons of au
other age would have fair ted at.
the suggeatiou of sinking a knife
into the abdomen and removing
a tumor, yet to day the operation
is froquet tly performed and the
death rate re not more than ten in
one Hundred cases. Even portions
of the bowels have been cut out
and the severed ends united by
stitches in removing tumors, and
recovery has followed in a large
xumber cases. But the most bril
liant cases yet recorded, where
the newer methods of surgery
were prominently brought into use
is an operation recently performed
at he Cham here Street hospital.
In this case precedent wee openly
defied, and the attending surge
oos, with a eourage and boldness
equaled only by their skill and del
icacy, saved a human life in all
probability, and pe formed an op
eration cf a kind tnat never before
had been attended with success.
William Moßlrov, a track driv
er, age tweuty-foar, cf No. 34 Rut
gers street, was accidentally shot
in the liquor store, No. 29 Essey
street, on November 2, 1874. with
a thirty-two calibre pistol. He
fell to the flocr, but remained con
scious. A n ambulance look him
to the Chambers Sreet hospital,
where an examinati.n showed (hat
ihe ball had entered the abdomen
abou*. two inches to the left of
und a little balow the naval. The
external wound was slight, and the
bull had stopped at some point
within the abdominal cavity. The
patient was put to bed suffering
greatly from the shock, and care
fully watched. Within a few hours
signs of extravasation appeared
His features were pinched, hi
pnlsc feeble and tremulous. Ex
cruciating pains radia'ed from the
seat of injury over the whole abe
dominal region, aud were ai tended
with signs of collapse The mus
cular effort of breathing was con
fined to the thorax, and there was
a look of great anxiety upon the
face It was evident that the
dreaded peritontits would soon be
fully developed. A consultation
was held; ii was determined that
death would speedily ensue uns
less relief was a Horded iu aome
manner, and heroic treatment was
decided upon. Within tweutv
hours after beiug shot McElroy
was transferred t) the operating
table. Ether was administered
and he soon became unconscious
Elaborate precautions were taken
to prevent the introduction of dis
eases germs into the wound. A
spray of vipor of carbolic acid was
played constantly ia‘o the room,
which, to inautain the tempera
ture of the body, was kept at a
uniform temperature of eigbty de
grees. The knives forceps, need
les and sponges that were to be
used were kept in warm solutions.
An incision was first made into the
external wou d ard it was fonnd
to extend into the external wound
and it was found to extend into
the abdominal cavi ry. Consider
able hemorrhage began, but /be
blood was absorbed by t pongee.
The incision was then increased lo
about eight inches through the
abdominal wall the wound was
opened wide, and the intestines
were exposed. The flow of blood
increased and it ran into the ab
dominal cavity. After the humor
rage was brought under cottro]
the c*vity was sponged out* and
the search for the ball began. A
srual l j section of tbt intestine was
drawn carefully through the open
ing at a time, thoroughly inspect
ed for lacerations, aod laid upon
the breast between layers of cloths
that bad previously •been wrung
out of waim water. This process
was continued nodi the eciire in
testines were taken out of the body
The bullet was fouud in the last
section and removed it was
fouul to have penetrated the in
testine in seven places. As fast
as eaoh wound was discovered tur
ner searen was stopped until the
lacerated portion wan sewed with
JOHN T. WILSON. Jn , Publisher
extremely fine elik thread. The
knots made id drawing the woun
ded surfaces together were left in
position.
After all the Wounds were clos
ed the cloths Were carefully re
moved from the intestines end
they returned to their proper po
sition within the abdominal walls
The large incision was then closed
and if a- well as the bullet wound
was sewod up with silk The op
eratiou lusted two noursumllhe
patient wus kept under iho influ
ence of etuei the wlole time.
Measurers were at once taken to
prevent peri.onits. Morphine was
given in small dises by hypodem
ic injections. A large coil of rub
her tube was placed on the abdo*
men, through which a stream of
ice water wss cor a tan tly kept run
ning. For two days no nourish
ment was given through the rnoufh
the patient's strength being kept
up by enumata of beef juice This
was done to allow the stomach and
bowels io rest, and permit the
wound made by tbe bullet to heal-
As Boon as food could he given
properly, McElroy gained strength
and in a comparatively short time
was able to sit up in his cot, and
afterward to walk about the hos
pital wards. He went out of she
hospital for the first time on
Christmas day, less 'ban two
moots from tne time he was in-
j uied, and about a week afterward
he was discharged cured.
The only drawback in tbe prog
ress of the case to convalescence
was ua abscess ihat formed in she
wound made by she bill Ist, a few
weeks after the operation. This,
however, was finally subdued by

A CLASSICAL POLICEMAN.
Patroimtn Smith—he is called
Smith for the reason that this is
not his name—is a graduate of
the University of Mtohigan. He
can write B. A. after his name
but does not make a practice of
d dog so. In appearance he is not
-trikiaglj different from the non
classical policeman. Ho walks
much the sr,me as though he had
never been the in tccademic shades
of a university. He arrests a
crook in the same severe fashion
that the rest of the force use.
He was jus* coming out of a
patroibox when be was met by a
former classmate—a lawyer.
“Smith is it possible that you
have become a policeman f” asked
the lawyer.
“It is quite possible. These ac
coutrements the position
that loc upy,” was the reply as
i hey shook bands.

“But if you had gone iuto some
learned proses-ion you would have
a larger income."
“Possibly you are right. How
much do you earu, by the way, in a

“Well to tell the truth, I think
lam netting along all right I
make both ends meet.”
‘Exactly. I think lam badly

Sine* I have been here it has been
