but now it was gone. Carlo must
have run off with it. Jell was quite
distressed, for this cap was dear TO
her. Her mother called it her chap
py-cap," and its owner was disconso-
late enough without it. School was
over, and her two eldest sisters had
gone for short visit. The house
seemed lonely, and the day passed
slowly. But evening arrived finally,
and with it Mr.. Landreth. Jell was
Just telling herself that she need
not expect him, now that Eleanor and
Amelia were absent, when she spled
him coming up the walk. As the
air was warm, they remained on the
piazza IN the moonlight and talked
or were silent, as the spirit moved
them.
Presently he drew forth from a
side pocket-Jelrs sweeping-cap
She was silent in astonishment.

smoothing the saucy scarlet bow. 81
have fallen in love with this capg'
"Have you?" Then with new
and strange generosity, perhaps
you had better keep it"
"You are too kind; but after all, L
believe it is not the cap, but the
owner, that love best. Will you be
as generous this time, Jell?' leaning
forward to look in her eyes.
And Jell was glad that it was too
dark for him to see what he might
have seen there, and that none but
he and the oriole swinging in his
nest in the walnut heard her reply.
John only held her hand fast, and
they sat there in silence, until he
said;
"Do you know when l first loved
you, JellY'
"NO."
"Why, the first time | saw you on
this very spot, with this cap on your
head. Every time after that, only
loved you more. | saw you indus
trious, patient, intelligent, beauti-
full"
Here Jell, putting her hand over
his mouth, told him to "Hush." and
he ''hushed'' at once.

From the College Mirror, Athens, D
Walking Matchs

Itmay be interesting to the resi-
dents of our county to know it has
produced a pedestrian. r. Z. j.
Adney, formerly a resident of this
county, now in Washington and JEFF
ferson College, Pa, has recently gain
ed considerable notoriety and caused
considerable discussion-at the latter
place. being the winner in a Walking
Match against Mr.. Alex. Reed, of
Washington, Pa, by whom he was
challenged. Mr.. Seel had previous
ly offered to walk with any man in
western Pennsylvania, for $500 aside
and the championship; but on the
present occasion, there was no stake.
The champions started at 8 o'clock,
walked to the second post together,
as per agreement; soon after which
Reed took the lead and kept it till
the Sth post was reached. At the 9th
post he was at least a quarter of a
mile in advance, but Adney came
down to close work and caught him
near the Sth post. Afterward they
walked together, turning the 18th
post abreast, and thus continuing on
the return to the Sth post, when Adj
ney went to the front and kept it.
winning the race easily in D hrs 81
min. At the 9th post Reed gave up
the contest, seeing the race was in
evitably lost, as his opponent led
him between ! and J mile. MIR. Adj
ney had previously been over the
ground, on a trial trip, making the
distance in hours-under such cir
cumstances as to justify the belief
that he can reduce that time materi-
ally under favorable circumstances.

The Real SitustiOn About the
Presidency.
From Yesterdays Philadelphia Tim

IFrom Yesterdays Philadelphia Times.l
There is a very common error,
which appears in most OF the after
noon papers of yesterday, that, on the
death of Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Ferry be
comes "acting Vice President =
lTbere is no such thing as an "actihg
kV;ce President" The VICE Presl-
da,t meyer acts. He simply waits,
reade>to take she place of the Presi-
dent in case of the death, removal or
disability of the latter, and while he
is waiting he presides over the Sen
ate, by way of having something to
do. Whenever he is absent or sick,
the Senate elects temporary Presi-
dent, who goes back to his desk, how
ever, when the Vice President re-
turns. Before the adjournment OF
the Senate, Mr.. Wilson having left
Washington, the Senate elected Mr..
Ferry, of Michigan, President pro
tempore, and he is now, by law, the
next in succession to the President
until the Senate shall reassemble in
December. 1t may or may not again
elect Mr.. Ferry, but whomsoever it
then elect will be President Of the
Senate simply, and the Office of Vice
President will remain vacant until
filed by the electors chosen at the
general election in 1876. Should the
President die, the President of the
Senate would become 'acting Presl-
dent" only until an election could be
held to fill the vacancy.

THE LOST BABIES.

Come. nv wife. put down the Bible,
Law your glasses on the book,
Roth of ms are bent and aged
Backward. mother, let us look.
Tbis is still the same old homestead
Where / brought you long ago,
When the hair was bright with sun
shine
That is now like winters snow.
Let us talk about the babies
As we sit here all alone,
Such merry troop of youngsters;
How we lost them one by one.
Jack the first of all the party,
Came TO us one winters night.
Jack, you said, should be parson,
Long before he saw the light.
Do You see that great cathedral,
Filled the transept and the nave,
Hear the organ grandly pealing,
Watch the silken hangings wave;
See the priest in robes of office,
With the altar at his back
Would you think that gifted preacher
Could be our own little Jack!
Then girl with curly tresses
Used to climb upon my knee,
Like liIt1e Ialfl prlilccss
Ruling at the age of three.
With the wears there came Wedding
How your fond heart swelled with
pride
When the lord of all the county
Chose your baby for his bride!
Watch that stately carriage coming,
And the form reclining there
Would YOU think that brilliant lady
Could be your own little Clare?
Then the last, a blue-eyed youngster-
| can hear him prattling now
Such strong and sturdy fellow.
With his broad and honest brow.
How he used to love his mother!
All! see your trembling lip.
He is far off on the water,
Captain of royal ship.
See the bronze upon his forehead,
Hear the voice of stern command
That the boy who clung so fondly
10 his mothers gentle hand?
All. my wife, we've lost the babies,
Ours so long and ours alone;
What are we to these great people,
Stately men and woman grown?
Seldom do we even see them:
Yes, a bitter tear-drop starts,
As we sit here in the fire light,
Lonely hearth and lonely hearts.
All their lives are full without us:
They'll stop long enough one day
Just to lay us in the church yard,
Then they'll each go on their way.

The Churchman tells the story OF
a woman, but without giving her
name, who became tired of a life
mainly employed in eating and dress
ing, and resolved to devote herself
and her money to a nobler purpose.
At the close of the rebellion she went
to a sandy island off the Atlantic
coast, where about two hundred per-
sons were living in poverty and ig-
norance, and established her home
there with the intention of beneftlng
the inhabitants. She began with
teaching, by example, how to Guilt
vate the land lucratively, and was
soon initiated. Next she established
a school for the children, and after
ward a church. Now the island is
thriving region, with an industrious
and moral population, the change be-
ing the work of one woman.

Vice President Wilson's Original
Family Name.
From Washington Correspondent

From Washington Correspondence

1t may be known to my readers,
but it was not to me until / came to
Washington, that Mr.. Wilson's real
name was Goliath, and that at twen-
ty-one he changed it to that of cele-
brated man whose biography ne had
been reading, desiring to escape
from patronymie that for some faml-
ly reasons he felt would be clog TO
his success in life. He was a shoe
maker, as you know, and at his bench
was the same indefatigable worker
that he has ever since proved him
self to be in public life. Fifty pair
of brogans in a week was his Gus
tomary achievement. He has a
brother who retains the name OF
Goliath, an under door-keeper OF
Congress.
