MarIans 8 Fortune.

George Hallowell. of EImshorough,
died at the age OF so, worth fl00, 1000.
People generally thought he had lived
very long time but they could not
deny the fact that he had improved
the time. and got together very re-
spectacle fortune.
Early in his young manhood he had
married Estelle Cleaves. the daughter
of poor actor and some incougFuitv
of taste or temper-nobody knew
which, for Hallowell kept his own Sc
crels and death long ago had sealed
the lips of his wife-had separated
them after about ten months, OF mar
ried life.
The wife had gone forth nobody
knew whittier, and Hallowell had lived
on IN his sour, crustv, and monoton-
Gus life in the old home, where he was
born and where before him were born
his father and grandfather.
He never went into society, he re-
ceived no company, he had no friends
and it was a great wonder TO whom he
would give his property when he was
dead.
Aud when the announcement came
that the old man was gone, everybody
pricked up his or her ears, and the
wonder grew.
Three old servants-nearly as old
as flmself-a man and two women, had
always been with him, and constituted
the only family he had.
the Cnlv male servant was named
Gilbert. and in his hands Mr.. Hallow-
ell had left his will.
The funeral was largely attended by
the whole neighborhood and, at its
close, Gilbert requested all those In
terested TO remain and hear the will
read.
OF course, in a matter like this, ey'
erybody was interested, and old Gil.
bert had good audience.
Lawyer Secors read this will. 1t
seems he had drawn it up year be-
fore sor the testator. Divested of its
formalities, it bequeathed handsome
annuities to each Of the three servants.
two thousand pounds to each of the
two churches in the village, two hun
dred pounds for the support of Jim, a
large stripped cat, which the old man
held in high regard. and all the rest
of the property-houses, lands, stocks
and money-was bequeathed, without
reserve, to Marian Esterly, the village
school Mistress
They were all stricken dumb with
astonishment, and Miss Esterly was,
perhaps more surprised than any oi
| them.
A few words in pencil, In old Hal
lowell-s own handwriting, on the mar.
gin of the will, explained his reason
for this disposition Of the property.
~ have been friends with nobody
80 ran the marginal reference
"and people have looked upon me a
being destitute Of the attributes of hu
manity, and it was my own fault
make no complaint. Only one Of al
my town people has seen deep enoug
below the surface to surmise that oil
Hallowell might have feelings Of hi
own, and she has never passed me b.
without q kind good day. And ono
when l passed by her little garden
she gave me q bunch of pansies. On

In Too GREAT HURRY--A resident
Of New Haven has given up steamboat
travel. Not long since, having occasion
to visit New York, he started for the
steamers landing, with carpet sack in
one hand and cane in the other, in
what he supposed to be ample time.
But when he came within sight of the
wharf he observed the boat apparently
swinging away from her moorings, and
amid the shouts and jeers of the bv-
ISLANDERS he broke into frantic run. for
the landing. The boat was eight or ten
feet from the wharf when he reached the
place where he had hoped to find gang
plank, but nothing daunted, and trust
ing to the momentum acquired during
the run, he leaped into the air and gain
ed the vessels deck. Not without ac-
cident. however. The carpet-bag struck
one passenger SO violently in the stom-
ach that he doubled up like jack knife,
and absorbed whole flask of brandy in
getting Strengthened out, while the cane
struck another man in the face with
sufficient force to induce him TO get
down on his knees to look after his hat,
When he had recovered it, the man who
had occasioned all this commotion said
TO him, in tone of mingled apology
and self-congratulation: "Wen, made
it'll" ''Yes, YOU did," said the sore.

As natural consequence, they fell
| in love with each other, and Marian
was.so happy in her choice that it new.
J er occurred TO her to lament the splen,
dors she had lost in renouncing the
Hallowell inheritance.
Young Burke was eager for the we'd
ding not to be delayed and one sum.
mer morning they were married quietly
in The little church at Westlake, and
then they set out together for her hus-
bands home.
About this home he had never told
her anything-neither had she inqur-
ed f; so you may understand she was
very deeply in love with him-for now
a-days the establishment" is often of
infinitely more consequence to the
young lady than the man who goes
along with it, by way of incumbrancc.
Iarian was Titled puzzled by one
thing As she stood in the church
and listened TO the solemn words of
the marriage service, the name of the
bridegroom IN very low tone of voice
had sounded new and strange to her.
She haG not understood it nevertheless
it had not sounded ike plain John
Burke.
Seated in the train by her husbands 5
side. she asked him about it.
"The name is all right darling" he
replied squeezing her hand under the
folds of her shawl-.'new husbands
will do such foolish things, you know I;
don't trouble your head about that.
So Marian dismissed it from her
mind.
BY and by she saw that they were
nearing Elmsboro. the town where her
fortune had been found and lost. She
Leased out Of the window to get look
at familiar objects. Her husband bent
over her.

Surprise made her silent, and the
stopping of the train at the station
prevented further conversation. \
handsome carriage aud pair awaited
them, and in a very brief space of time
Marian and her husband were driven
To llallowcll house.
And there, drawn up in array on the
lawn, were Old Gilbert and Polly, and
all the rest OF them, waiting To wei

ORATOR MOODY DEMORALIZED.

A Vermont paper relates the following
extremely funny story: "They had a
chicken show at Muncy a short time ago,
and when the birds were arranged in
cages around the room, the committee
proceeded to open the exhibition with
imposing ceremonies. The chairman,
Mr.. Moody, had prepared long and
very learned speech, and just as he was
beginning to read it, black Poland
rooster close to the stage, uttered loud
and defiant crow. There were about
two hundred roosters in the hall, and
every one Of them began instantly to
crow in the most vociferous manner, and
the noise excited the hens so much that
they cackled as loud as they could. OF
course the speakers voice could not be
heard and he came to dead halt while
the audience laughed. After waiting for
ten minutes, silence was again obtained,
and Moody began a second time. AS
soon as he had uttered the words, La
dies and Gentlemen the Poland rooster,
which seemed to have grudge against
Mr.. Moody, emitted another most pre-
posterous crow, and all the other fowls
in the room instantly joined in the deaf
ming chorus. The audience giggled, and
Mr.. Moody grew red in the face with
passion. But when the noise subsidized
he went at it again, and got as far as,
ladies and pentlnman the domestic
barnyard fowl affords subject of the
highest interest to the when the Po-
land rooster became engaged in con-
test with an overgrown Shanghai chick
en-, and this set the hens of the combat
ants cackling, and in another moment
the entire collection were in an uproar.
This was too much. Mr.. Moody was be-
sides himself with rage. He flung down
his manuscript, rushed to the cage, and
shaking his fist at the Poland chicken,
exclaimed:
You diabolical fend, I've mind to
bust you open ~
Then he kicked the cage to pieces with
his foot, and sezing the rooster, twisted
his neck and flung it upon the floor
Then he fed from the hall, followed by
the laughter from the audience, and the
more terrific clatter from the fowls.
The exhibition was then opened with
out further cermony, and Moody's dis.
sertation on the barnyard fowl was lost
to the world"

were found guilty of murder and sentenc-

they could each choose tree on which

Scotchman promptly chose an ash tree,
and the Englishman an oak tree.

The hickory berry vine entwines
The brown nuts of the turnip tree;

Uusks out the golden clover.
