A Leap Year Sttry.

1t has long been the custom among the young
mon that attend the Westbrook (Maine) Seminary
to secure the services of some good musician for
Saturday evening sociables, and to pay him by
contribution. A Portland musician has done the
tiddling for this term and though his charges
are moderate, the continual draw upon the slen-
der purses of the boys at last 80 drained them
that they concluded they could not afford to pay
him last Saturday evening, but made arrange
ments to have piano music. The young ladies
got wind of this and being unwilling to dance
to the dull music Of piano when a violin could
be had for ten cents piece, they clnbbed to-
gether, raised the required amount, and notified
the same musician that he would be wanted.
The time for the dance to begin came. The
piano was in position and the pianist OH hand,
the boys being unaware that the girls bad played
leap year upon them, when, to their oonsterna-
tiOn. in walked the much wished for musician
and began to fiddle furiously. A more sheepish
looking set of boys cannot be imagined. They
looked from one to the other In dismay, and in
voluntarily eutched their remaing five cent
pieces, undecided whether to give up all or to
throw themselves upon the mercy of the knight
of the strings, but finally deposited their cash
balance in the hands of deputy, with instruc-
tons 10 pay the bill or perish in the attempt,
when they were informed that the young ladies'
had done that part for them, and were now wait
ing for partners So, with a sicLly smile, they
crooked their elbows to the waiting damsels and
walked on to the floor. ipwardly resolved that
they would never be caught in similar manner
again.

Frost and snow and bleak winds, however, have
not broken the indomitabe courage of those
who have determined that the rebuilding shall
go Oh. Men mullled to the eyes drive the long
lines of teams wLic'l ara hauling away the debris
and bringing in new building material; carpen-
ters thrash their chilled arms around their boz
dies, and take up the saw and hammer again,
masons heat their bricks with furnaces and
warm their mortar with hot water, and go on
rearing their walls; and workmen of all kinds
huddle around little bonfres at noon and hast
lily eat their cold lunch and then patiently go to
work again. By such undaunted courage hun
dreds of thousands of loads havo already been
cleared away in the eight weeks Just gone, and
a host of buildings big and little have been
reared. completed and occupied. One day with
the mercury at zero and the wind biting furioug-
ly, out door work was in measure suspended;
but soon as the rigor abates it will be resumed;
aud so, with occasional interruptions it will go

A sad, sad Case.

The wife of wealthy cigar manufacturer in
New York lately died the victim of strong drink.
With the exception of her passion for liquor she
was most estmablo woman, but would act in
violent manner when giving way TO this weak
ness. About two years ago she left home under
its influence to throw herself under the wheels
of railroad train. but was followed by her hus-
band, who prevented the terrible act at the last
moment. She has often threatened to shoot her
husband and son, and frequently taken revol-
yer to bed with her At such times her husband
would fasten himself in his sleeping room away
from her until the frantic mood was over. About
year ago Mr.. Ebert was troubled with headache,
for which his physician recommended aeonite,
deadly poison. About ton days ago a one ounce
vial, sufficient to kill ten persons, was missed
from the usual place. few days after, upon
returning from one of his business trips, his
wife was so furious that he, with his son and
two other young men. barrcaded themselves in
a room, which she tried vainly for two hours to
force open She then bade her son goodbye
and went to her bed room, whers she was found
dead the next morning. and the empty ac .nite
vial standing on tho piano near the door,
