The Assumed Name.

During the war an officer in the Army
the Potomac was surprised, on receiving
draft of men to fill up the gaps in the ranke,
to find that one of the names on the list was
Fitz Herbert de Percy. Still greater was
his astOnishment at the discovery that the
owner of this aristOcratic name was An
Irishman of the Irishmen-a man in whose
features Mast would have delighted. and
whose broad accent, as Brougham would
phrase it, could only have been made with
q broad-ax. 'If it had been Michael, or
Patrick, or Dennis, and Flaherty, ORourke
or Hooligan, now" soliloquized the officer,
II could understand it, but Fitz Herbert de

cover what the wearer's real name was and
why he had adopted such an alias. All
were bafiled. Drunk or sober, to orders or
entreaties, artfully pumped or abruptly
questioned, he made but one reply: "Me
mann is Fitz-Horborrrt de Porrrcy." At
last his term of service expired and he re-
ceived his discharge. "And now, DE Per
cy," said his commanding officer. 'you are
OUT of the army, and whatever your real
name be, or your reasons for abandoning
it. can make no difference in your relations
with me. What was i'll Come, now"

NJ D. Conway writes from London to the

There is an old tradition concerning Ma
homet that he was once standing beneath
a palm tree and teaching his followers, say
ing: "He who clothes the naked ehall be
clothed by God with the green robes OF
paradise. If a good man gives with his
right hand and cOnceals it from his left, he
overcomes all things" While he said these
things, a man drew near and cried: 80

John Ruskin ever met with this old story,
but he has just performed kind and gentle
action which has reminded me of it. A little
way from Croydon, near London, there has
long been dirty, marshy little pond, which
is now an exquisite clear spring of running
water. Mr.. Ruskin has expended $500 In
making this spring, which is not far from
the home of his childhood, and surrounding
it with trees and flowers, and named it after
his mother, Margaret's we'll. On the neat
tablet over it are inscribed the following
words: "In obedience to the Glver of Life,
of brooks and fruits that feed it, of the
peace that ends it, may this well be kept
sacred tor the service of men, focks and

ALonesome Old Negro.

There was slight rumpus near the mar.
ket early the other morning that escaped
the vigilance of the officer on duty. An
old negro man, evidently from the country,
was sitting on his wagon apparently wrap
ped in deep thought. His hair was pienii-
fully sprinkled with gray, ana ne was Is
carefully polishing the glasses OF par OF
venerable looking spectacles. Something
in his appearance attracted the attention OF
two neatly dressed mulatto boys, who, with
cigars in their mouths, were sauntering lels.
"Dere's old man Methuselah," remarked
one. while the other began to sing "Dere
was an old niger, an his name was Metnu'
selah-his name was Methuselah; when he
get old he went to" =,
But before the saddle-colored warbler
could finish his ditty, the object of his sere-
made had leapsd from the wagon and seized
him. The next moment the tunetul youth
was wriggling on the ground, while the Old
man was humping him with No. ii tro-
Gan. without regard to the musical pauses,
and with such vigor as to leave the impress
sion on those within hearing that an army
of spring carpetrbeaters had suddenly be-
gun operations.
his leg like dis, is heY' querleG t4e man,
as he gave the youth final j.r that sent
him rolling out of reach. Scrancl;ag to his
feet, the bruised boy, without en.werip
the interrogatory, made up the street ut
pace that soon carried him out OF sight.
"rm a lonesome Niger. ain" re marked
the veteran, as TO picked n.y. bus hat, which
had fallen of his hsai during the thumpln
process "r,u Lonesome by nature. and

Suggestive pull at tho lsprtls of his coat

A. there was no response to this some
what sarcastic chall sDge, the aged negro
mounted the wagon again and WAS soon en-
gagged in ENJOYING his propensities for "lone'
someness. "-Saoannah Ners.
