Tho Mistake OF an Evening.

4 think you said" There was
4 startled look on the face of the
much enduring waitress as she bent
:, little lower; and certainly the order
which she had received, Miss Sly
vestcr and dipped toast," was rather
a novel one. Il don't think under
stand you, sir"
q beg your PARDON" said Philip
Van Dorne, coming back to the con
temptation of his supper with a sud
den start, and blushing like school
boy as he became conscious of his
mistake; and then, as the relieved
damscl sped away, her evident fears
as to his lapse from sanity being qui-
eted by a less difficult order, he
glanced again to distant table where
sat the three personages whose ad-
vent had so surprised, and, as it ap-
peared, disconnected hlm.
Two ladies and gentleman; one
lady tai, pale and dark-eyed, with a
wonderful crown Of pale gold hair;
the other mere child in appearance,
with a round, piquant, pcach-blossom
face, wide blue eyes, and fair hair,
cut close and hanging around her
forehead in lite babyish rings; the
gentleman, q rather grave looking,
but decidedly handsome man, with
no peculiarity of look or dcmeanor
that would justify Philip Van Dorne
in staring at him iii such a decidedly
vindictive and unprepossessing way.
He watched them furtively until
they arose to depart; but as they
passed by, he was to AL appearances
entirely absorbed in the roll with
which he had been trifing for the
last half hour, a.d did not raise his
eyes.
They noticed him, however, for the
young lady laid her hand suddenly
on her companions shoulder.
" Look, Rose! she whispered,
" there is Phil Van Dorne." And
Rose, after one glance, passed on,
with her gold crowned head held a
little higher, and her face q little
paler than before.
Two minutes later, Philip Van
Dorne was in the office, hastily run
ming over the list of the new arrivals
at the Kearsage House. Yes, here it
was at last, "Mr. and Mrs. Colches-
ter, Miss Sylvester, New York;" and
he had felt sure of it from
the first, the sight of her changed
name affected him as he believed
nothing could have done.
"Joe was right, after all" he said,
bitterly, rs he turned away. "Odd
that | should meet them on their
wedding journey, though Very
soon he found himself face to face
with u gentleman with lady on
either arm.
"Mr. Van Dorne,-how unexpected
- how pleasant" 1t was a wee,
white hand which was extended to
him, and he took it mechanically in
his.
"Thank you," he said, his eyes
wandering to the tall, lithsome figure
beside her. | hardly thought to meet
you her., Emmie."
The old pet name almost unconsci-
ously - Emmfe had always been a
favorite of his in the old days and
then Rose returned his low bow with
out removing her hand from the
sleeve where it rested.
ooh, l beg your pardon-Mr. Col
chester-Mr. Van Dorne. / believe
you have met before, though"
eyes," answered Phil, grimly,
" once or twice, only, l think" EN-

A Boone county paper says: ga
young lady who teaches one OF the
public schools not over a hundred
miles from Boone, keeps her pupils in
trim by such talk as this: Now,
Bob, ifyou don't quit pulling Sails
hair, I'll snatch you bald-headedn
'Suse, quit your whispering, or Pll
put tin ear on you! That's the sort
of hairpin am!"

THE HERO.
JOHN @. WHITTIER.

"Oh. for knight like Bayard,
Without reproach or fear.
My light glove on his casque of steel,
My love knot on his spear!
"Oh, for the white plume floating,
Sad Zutphen's field above.
The lions heart in battle,
The woman's heart in love!
"Oh, that man once more manly were,
Womans pride and not her scornl
That, once more the pale young mother
Dared to boast, "a man is borni'
But now life's slumbrous current
No bowed cascade wakes:
No tail, heroic manhood
The level dizziness breaks.
'Oh for a knight like Bayard,
Without reproach or fear
My light glove on his casquc of steel,
My love-knot on his spear!'
Then l said. my own heart throbbing
To the tune her proud pulse beat:
Life hath its regal natures yet,
True, tender. brave and sweet.
''Smile not. fair unbcliever-
One man, at least, know,
Who might wear the crest OF Bayard,
Or Sidney's plume of snow.
Once, when our purple mountains
Died away the Grecian sun,
And the far Cyllenian ranges
Paled and darkened one by one
Fell the Turk bolt of thunder
Cleaying all the quiet sky,
And against his sharp steel lightnings
Stood the Suliotc but to die.
Woe for the weak and hating,
The crescent blazed behind
A Curvng line of sabres
Like fire before the wind.
Last to fly and first to rally.
Rode he of whom | speak,
When groaning in his bride path
Sank down wounded Greek
with the rich Albanian costume
Wet with many CHASTITY STAIN
Gazing on earth and sky as one
Who might not gaze again.
3 He looked forward to the mountains
Back on foes that never spare,
Then flung him from his saddle
And place the stranger there.
Allah hu thro flashing sabres,
Thro' stormy hail of lead,
The good Thessalan charger
Up the slopes of olives sped.
Hot spurrad the turhaned riders
He almost felt their breath
Where mountain stream rolled darkly doWr
Between the bills and death.
"Onc brave and manful struggle,
He gained the solid land,
And the cover of the mountains
And the cacbincS of his band
1t was very great and noble"
Said the moist-eyed listener then;
Blu; one brave deed makes no hero,
Tell me what he since hath been"
Still a brave and generous manhood.
Still an honor without stain,
In the prison of the Kaiser
BY the barricades of Seine.
But dream not helm and harness
Sole sign of valor true
Peace hath higher tests of manhood
Than battle ever knew
''Woudst know him now? Behold him.
The Cadmus of the blind,
Giving the dumb lip language.
The idiot clay mind.
Walking his round of duty
Serenelv day by day,
With the strong mans hand Of labor
And Childhood's heart OF play.
True as The knights of story.
Sir L3uncelot and his peers;
Brave in his calm endurance
As they in tilt of spears
AS waves in stillest waters.
As stars in MONDAY skies,
All that wakes TO noble action
In his noon Of talmness lies.
Wherever outraged nature
Asks word or action brave.
Wherever struggles labor.
Wherever groans slave,
wherever rise the people,
Wherever sinks a throne,
The throbbing heart of freedom finds
An answer in his own.
Knight of better era,
Without reproach or fear.
Said not well that Bayards
And Sidneys still aIe here:'

Railroad bridge, crossing Tunkhannock
creek, just north of Scranton, was burned on
the 23d. All travel on the road is stopped
for the present. The bridge was 300 feet in
length and it will take about ten days to
rebuild it. Trains from New York laid
over, and no trains from the north were able
to go to New York. The company will
make arrangements to transfer passengers
as once. The fire is supposed to be incen-

AN IRISH ARCADIA.
The Model Temperance Manufacturing
Village Of Bessbrook.

The Model Temperance Manufacturing
Village Of Bessbrook.
John G.. Richardson, the great man
ufactrer of linens, seems to have sue.
cessfully solved the problem of giving
employment to community of 1000
persons, whilst at the same time greatly
benefting them by surrounding them
with every incentive to temperance and
moral restraint.
Mr.. Richardson is the owner of 900
acres of land at Bessbrook, Ireland, on
which are quarries of blue granite and
farms that are successfully worked, and
in the midst Of which is the village of
Bessbrook, with the great mill, offices
and warehouses of the Bessbrook Spin
ming company.
The village is laid out with streets
that are lined with little cottages for
workmen, with larger horses for the
mill officials, and there also is beau
tiful villa occupied by the owner of the
vast estate.
Every cottage has a door-yard deco
rated with beautiful flowers, AMI the
property includes a public square to
add to its attractiveness. There are
shops of different kinds for the sale of
articles required to meet the wants of
the village, but the sale of beer and
ardent spirits is forbidden; and there
is not police station in the village,
neither is pawnshop to be found.
The different denominations, of
which there are fve-including the
Catholcs-all live together in har-
mony, and four churches stand in close
proximity upon hill that looks out
upon beautiful landscape with its
green fields and undulating surface as
far as the distant Newry mountains.
The streets of the village are kept
scrupulously clean, and the whole as
pect of the place is one of extreme
neatness. Mr.. Richardson is o promi-
nent member of the society of Friends,
and is now on visit to America, and
expects to attend yearly meeting of
his society in Indiana. He has given
80 largely of his means and time to
further the great cause of temperance
in Ireland, having recently served as
the presiding officer at meeting held
there that he will be welcomed in
America by many who believe that
next to slavery, temperance is the
greatest cause our fallen humanity has
to contend with.

Railroad iron in way and another gives rise to q
good deal OF litigation. In 1872 Morris X. Jessup
Co. consigned 20 samuel Smith 4 Co., IN New OreaDs
639 tons Of railroad iron, with instruction 70 store II
bond so TO retain option Of expectation Instead Of
this II entered in bonded warehouse, making IL
liable 10 forfeiture If the duties not paid
year The duties we're not paid and the iron de-
clared forfeited; but Drexel, Morgan Co.. who
Interested In the lron got the forfeiture removed.
Meanwhile the iron had boon sold in England for
transportation TO Peru, the sale having been
made on most favorable terms; but 1t was
entered as for consumption, and not in bond, II be-
came necessary TO cancel the contract, which after
wards though the iron placed bond, they were
unable TO renew. Subsequently the iron was sold for
S5,5s2 20 below the contract price Jessup Co.
brought suit against Smith and others 10 this
difference and the case came to trial yesterday before
Judge Donohue, OF the Supreme Court The defence
Is that they employed an experienced Custom House
broker carefully giving him the Instructions they re-
ceived that they had knowledge OF the facts com
planned of until after the forfeiture OF the iron of the
contract mentioned, and shat the loss occasoned
by delay in selling the iron. They also set up
counter claim Of 5000 for moneys advanced. The trial

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

NAHhlNNTON, req q 1910
In the United States Supreme Court to-day the fol-
lowing case heard
No $50 Warren ct al VS. Shook, Collector, &c-
Error TO the Circuit Court for tho Southern district OF
New York.-The question presented in this case was
whether the plaintiffs in error. as bankers paying the
special tax imposed upon them such, liable
der the ninety section of the Internal Revenue
act Of one-twentcth OF one per cent upon sales OF
stocks, &C. made their own account and for
bankers doing business as brokers, as 10 all sales
made by them commission for others aud that
they liable TO the tax TO such sales but claimed
that where the business was for themselves, eX-
cusvely their account they not liable.
The Court below held that bankers doing business
AZ brokers' they were liable to the tax on all sales
made by them, whether for themselves others.
aud this is the position Of the government
in this court IL is here contcudcd that
the tax upon the business Of broker covers
and includes all sales Of stock upon his account;
that the power to sell is necessary incident 10 tho
business OF advancing or oaning on stocks, bonds, &C.
and OF receiving such for discount and sale which is
part OF the business the carrying Of which makes
man banker; that by the amendment OF March, 1861
persons selling on their own account but not having
paid license ss bankers, were ranked brokers and
paid taxes accordingly such, while bankers paid
their taxes as bankers, covering all things necessarily
incident to their business bankers but IN things not
incident to their business bankers but In which they
did business brokers they became liable 10 pay the
brokers' And II said that IT, in addition to pay
ing the brokers' tax sales made by them as brokers
bankers also TO be taxed thus on sales made on
their account they subjected TO double taxa
ton.
Tho government maintains the theory Of the Court
below that where party is merely banker he Is not
liable sales at all but that bankers doing business
brokers' taxable for all sales whether made for
themselves others
