TOadyiSm Punished.

Several prominent gentlemen were
escorting a Turk down Chestnut street,
philadelphia, who, in the costume Of
his own court try, seemed highly appre-
ciatiye of the beauties of the city, as
pointed out by his hospitable guides
The foreigner presumably a distin
tinguished man-understood what was
told him more by the gestures than the
words, for he signitied that he could
not understand English. When we
asked one of the gentlemen who the
stranger was he replied "Flom his
appearance we inferred that he was a
Centennial commissioner from Turkey
and have done ourselves the honor of
showing him the city," The party had
stopped opposite the mint, and a gem
tIeman with a ten cent note and piece
of coin in his hand was going through
some sort of dumb show as way of
explaining the use of the building,
when lady passing by and seeing the
oddly dressed Individual in the center
of the group, observed "Well, | de-
clare If there isn't Mike, who used
to sell fans and shells at Cape May last
Summer. How dye do, Mike ?" With
a sardonic grin the heather swindler
bowed to the lady, and, after explain
ing in the broadest brOgue that he was
travelling incognito, slid through the
crowd.

A Beautiful Love Story.

The young lady was Miss Mary NJ.
Cochran, of Boston. She was romarka.
bly, fine looking person, apparently
twenty or twenty two years of age.
She was very stylishly dressed, and
presented most Interesting appear
ance.
Il seems that two years ego this
spring Miss Cochran, accompanied by
her mother and number of friends
from Boston, went TO Europe TO spend
the summer. During brief stay in
,CarlsruhP, Germany, Miss Cochran be
come acquainted with young German
named Charles A. Brandpnburg. He
was a young man of great ability, well
educated, and of respectable parentage,
although they were quite poor. The
many noble qualities of heart and head
completely won the heart of the young
American, and she fell desperately in
tove with him. This feeling was mu-
tual, and during he interview this
young man related the condition of
things at his fathers house. The
family was in the hands of q cruel
house owner, who not only owned the
small house in which they lived, but
was also proprietor of the mills in which
the father, son, and brother earned
their scanty pittance. On account of
.some difficulty, which occurred some
years before, this man, whose name
was Steinman, cherished deadly
hatred against the Brandenburg family.
SO deep was this hatred that he would
do anything in his power to keep them
down, although some of the greatest
improvements III his mill had been made
by the elder Erandcnburg He So ex-
ercised his authority that they were
kept in proverty, and every tHolt they
made to better their fortune was over-
thrown by the relentless land owner.
At last Charles, the eldest son, deter
mined to come to America. and try to
do something TO help himself and fami-
ly in this country.
Such was the state Of affairs when
she knew him first and loved him. Two
months after they plshted their troth,
and Brander burg sailed for America
Soon after Miss Cochran returned to
BE stun. A correspondence was kept
up for over year following their
separation. Then the young German,
who had been working in New York,
and Philadelphia set out for the West
and the letters came less frequently, and
finally there were ncne at all. During
all this time the young lady remained
true to her first love. When she heard
no more of her lover she was almost
crazy, and as the time grew on, hel
suspense became almost insupportabe
AT last, about two weeks age, she Learned
through roundabout way that the OBJ
jet of her affection was IN indianapo
lis. She determined to ascertain tht
truth of the report, So she and he
mother left Boston for Indianapolis.
She was bound to find hec lover, an'
il he cherished the same sentiments a
he did two years ago, when they las
met, and seven months ago. when sh
received her last letter, there would b.
a marriage.
The wish was gratified, and tn
young couple who loved each other de
Votedly, are now united for life .-Tols

Something New Ahont Pears.

Mr.. p. Il. Quinn tells the following
story in his g Rural Topics" in Scrib-
ner for July A few years ago,a gem
tlenan living in The suburbs of New
York, anxious to have large pear trees
that would bear fruit soon, contracted
with tree agent for some Bartletts, the
price of which was fixed at $40 apiece.
The trees came in due time and were
set out. In two years from the time of
planting they bore q small round ruSset
pear, that hung on the tree until late in
October. 4 bout this time, the very
same agent made his appearance, and,
being reminLed Of the contract to fur
nish Bartlets, he asked to be allowed
to examine the trees and fruit, the lat
ter still hanging on the trees. He ex-
amined both carefully and, suddenly
turning towsrd his victim, said, with a
stern expression : Well, sir, when j
sold you those trees, suppose You were
a well read, intelligent man ; but now
am OF different opinion" This very
singular remark brought forth the
query: Why ?" from the owner
Why - was the response from the
agent. /" TO think of man of culture
at this day and age who does not know
the fact, that Bartlett tree never bears
Bartlett pears the 6rst year" The
gentleman admitted his ignorance, anG
the peddler left, master of the situation
Some weeks after, the victim made in

aware Of this strange phenameron IL

bias not yet made his appearance in thi
