the court in the usual way to declare
what he had to say why sentence of

first things he did after being released

The lady learning nothing from her

of Knowing that he was a prisoner,

occupant of some unmarked grave

His mother being dead, and falling to

man concluded to remain in New York.
He did so, remaining with the house

HARDLY FAIR.

DOUBTLESS many have heard the stO-
ry of the young man who applied to
Dean Richmond for a position as con-
ductor, on the New York Central Rail-
road, and was asked if he had a gold
watch, diamond breastpin, and some
other similar trinkets. When he repli-
ed in the negative, Dean emphatcally
declined his services, saying:
tAH our conductors are supplied with
these articles, and we do not wish to
stand any new expense in that line.'
This reminds an exchange of story
told with great gustO to a jovial friend in
New York, since gone to his last &C
count. Many years ago. he used to
saw. Hank Miller was the great Om-
nibus King of New YOrk-that was be-
fore street-cars were known, and Hanks
,busses were going on all the principal
lines. He was a gOOd-natured man,
0niet. and full of fun. The drivers OF
| fine ,busses were cashiers, too; received
the passengers money, made change,
and at night handed over the days re-
ceipts. One evening Hank was inspect
ING the stalls of one of the stables when
Johnny Derrick, u well-knOwn driver,
and rs ShreWd q fellow as ever cracked q
whip, came in, and, without noticing
Hank, emptied his pocket into the next
stall, and commenced to make up his
account
That's four shirn for Hank, and fOW
for me- he said, laying them in two
different piles; There's four shil'n fol
Hank, and four for mel and thus ht
continued until the money was divided
into two piles, with an odd half in
| Johnny's hand.
sHow's this says Johnny; who doe:
this belong to? Well, we'll throw up
| heads for me and tails for Hank, and VI
/ he tipped it.
Tails, by jingv he exclaimed; 'ah
but that wasn't fair, Wen try it again
and up it went once more.
! Heads 7 thought IL 1UGs mine p anG
with a satisfied air he poeketed his share
and started for the office to make his re-
turn. Hank took q short cut, and when
Johnny entered was behind the counter
ready to receive his money,
| Good even'n, said Johnny, touching
his hat to Hank rs he laid the money
down on the counter.

Still, than all others :

in the person of young lady to whom
he expected to be married when the
cruel war was over, and Johnny
comes marching home
1t happened, however, that in one of
the battles fought in the early part of
1868, our young soldier was taken pris-
enor. He was carried to Elmira, New
York, where he remained until Lee and
johnson had surrendered; and peace
was declared.
In the meantime Sherman had made
his grand march to the sea-, The cOun-
try from Atlanta, north, was desolate.
Among the ruins was the home Of the
young lady to whom we refer. She ref
ugeed' further South with her few
friends, who, since the war have not re-
turned to their old home, but remained
in one of the lower counties.

A&EAT SECRET.

GREAT SECRET
By ALACE CARY.
MY friend, here's a secret
BY which you may-tbrive;
lam fifty years old,
And my wife forty-five-
\ queen among beauties,
The wedding guests said,
When we went to church
With tho priest, and were wed
That's thirty long years past
And can avow-
She was ne more a beauty
To me, then, than now.
For never the scath Of a
Petulant frown
Has ploughed with its furrowS
Her young roses down.
And still, like a girl, when
Her praises ] speak,
Her heart fairly blusheS
Itself through her check
Her smile is more tender
For being less bright;
And the little bit Of powder
That makes her hair white.
And all the soft patience
That shows through her face,
In my eyes, are only
Like grace upon grace.
For still we are lovers,
AS am alive,
Though 1, sir, am fifty,
And she's fOrty-hve:
And here's half the secret
/ meant b unfold,
She don't know, my friend,
Not the least. how to ScOld
Nor does she get pettiSl,
And sulk TO a p0ut.
So, since we fell IN love,
We never fell ont
And here's the full secret
That saves us from strife;
kept her a sJreetlteGFt,
In making her 1Cie
And if you but wed, on
Ny pattern, you'll thrive.
For I, sir, am fifty,
sly wife, fQrty-five
