While her robe caught in the rear.
Oh, the robe was of moirc antique

But skirt peeped out beneath 1t,
And that was coffee bag!

THE ALDERNEY CALF.
By BLANCHE SHAW.

Jenkinstown is Il village that
nestles, yes, peace to the ashes
of Artemus, it truly "nestleS"
somewhere in the Connecti-
cut Valley. 1t is an ancient
town, and owes its existence
to tie fact that, before the
Declaration of independence
was thought of, one big origin.
al Jenkins succeeded, by his
native eloquence, in convinc-
ing a grim Indian chief that
certain strings of glass beads,
iron hatchct, brass riugs and q
few other valuable articles OF
European merchandise, were
more desirable possessions than
his broad acres. How he
managed to "draw the WOOL
over those "seVen eyes" has
ever been a wonder, but he did;
and the result was that, for and
in consideration Of a canoe
load Of these staples, "The-
Man = With The-Seven = Eyes"
transferred the title-deod OF
his hunting ground to jenkins,
and moved TO the far spreading
West.
Well, after the Indian owner
moved out, Jenkins moved In;
and IN the log cabin, which he
built, he and Mrs. Jenkins
lived many happy years. They
raised a large and healthy fam
lily Of boys and girls, who, as
they reached mans and wO-
mans estate, married members
of some neighboring village,
and were then presented by
Father Jenkins with a slice of

rolled on, and the second gen
Grafton of Jenkinses was fol-
lowed by third, and the third

were more numerous than
heirs, the old name gradually

ing house, Il blacksmith's shop,
a store and a town pump, the
time honored appellation was
borne but by one person, the
relict of the late Jeremiah
Jenkins.
The widow of jenkins was,
in her own estimation at least,
a person Of first consideration
in tho town. She lived in a
comfortable house at the end
of thu village, and her we'll,
titled acres spread far around
her, till they Joined those Of
Deacon Baggs. The widow
was certainly pretty, but her
fatness and fairness might be
questioned; in fact, if the for
mer is, as some people main
tair, an invariable result of
sweetness of temper, | fear the
widow must even be guiltless
of it, for, if report say true, her
voice might be heard at silver
dawn and golden twilight adj
ministering, in not very dulcet
tones, admonitlon to the un-
lucky men, and still more miss
erable maids of her household.
Still, the widow was a pious
woman. She sat regularly in

Twelve by the CLOCK.
About twenty years ago,
when Franklin Pierce and tho
present Senator Clark stood at
The head of the HillsborouglI
bar, in New Hampshire, there
was upon the docket a cele.
brated suit called the "IIorSe
Case" The action was brought
by Smith g. Jones, livery sta.
bic keepers, against one White,
to recover the value of a pair
of horses, alleged 10 have been
killed by the defendant while
conveying an insane man 10 the
asylum at Concord. There was
plenty OF proof that the horses
died soon after their arrival
there; but the defendant took
the ground that they died of
disease, and not from being
overheated, and that a suili.
cient tame had been allowed
them 10 travel that distance
with case. Then it became
necessary to show the jury tho
time of starting and the time
ofarriyal. Many citizens were
brought forward, among them
a tall, bony, slab sided, sleepy
looking fellow, who oGiciated
as hostler at the stable. The
following is the substance Of
tho concluding portion Of the
examination:
"What time, sir, did I UNDER
stand you to say it was when
the horses were driven up to
the stable z"
"Just as l was goin' 10 din
ner."
"What time was 1t when you
went to dinner the day before
by the clock"
"JuSt twelve.H
10 a minute W I
eyes, sir"
"And what time did you go
to dinner a week previous
by tho clock"
"At twelve"
$40 minute, sir?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Now, sir, will you be good
enough to tell the jury what
time you went TO dinner three
months before the last date
by the clock?'
"At twelve"
$40 a minute, sirg"
"Yes, sir"
"That is all, sir" replied the
counsel, with a gleam OF salts
faction on his face and a glance.
at the jury, as much as to say
"That man has settled his
testimony, gentlemen" And
SO all thought till, just as hes
was leaving the stand, he turn
cd to his questioner with a Gu.
rious, comical expression OIL,
his face and drawled out, "Thar
ere clock was out o. kilter, and
has stopped at twelve for the
