"CrOss aud Crescent" in Back Yard.

Few persons suspect the interest which
the younger portion of our population feel
in the progress of the European struggle,
and the familiarity with its details which
they eyince in their daily conversation and
intercourse. An uptown gentleman on
reaching home the other afternoon found
his wife out and the house all upside down.
The beds had been stripped of blankets and
counterpanes the tables denuded of their
covers table cutlery, broomsticks, and var
ious kinds of household hardware were
strewn over the stairs and floors in short,
it looked as if burglars had been through
the establishment,and left in hurry.
Just as he contemplated the devastation,
Bridget, the cook, came rushing up stairs
with despair depicted on every lineament of
gasped out, "Pm so glad Viz have come
home. Sure thin boys is a murtherin' each
other in the back yarrud."
In an instant he threw open the back
window, and the sight that met his eyes
showed the situation at a glance All the
boys in the neighborhood, from sixteen down
were there engaged in settling the Eastern
| question in style that would have made
Van Moltka howl with envy. For mo-
ment the Turks, led on by one boy in baggy
trowsers (which proved to be his fathers red
flannel drawers and armed with cheese
knife in one hand and a dirty white towel
on stick representing the banner of the
Prophet) in the other, appeared to have the
advantage, and had cornered the Russian
army, composed OF six boys with rakes and
pitchiorks, between the hen house and the
back fence Several other boys with bloody
noses and black eyes sat on the grass-plOt,
personating the Christian victims Of the at
rocities in Bulgaria. The czar had already
lost one of his front teeth and the Khedive
of Egypt was to be seen seeking safety by
inglorious flight through a backlot, carrying
off the parlor table cloth, rolled up on his
head as turban. just at this moment En-.
gland interiered in the shape of ten boys
who had been concealed in the back area
but wha now charged forth with rolling
sticks, fiat irons and pokers, simultaneously
with grand onset Of Cossacks and Name.

The Supreme Court, sitting at Pittsburg,
has decided the case Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad ys, The Borough of Wesmore-
land county In this case the railroad made
use of former permanent road bed in the
borough, and this not only made a bridge a
necessity but rendered its perpetual main
tenance necessary, as by no other means
could the hig hway be made to subserye the
purposes of its creation. The court held
that it was the duty of the railroad to main
tain this bridge, and that the borough could
therefore, recover from the railroad the mon.
ey expended upon the bridge.

Archbishop Bayley's Romance.
HOW HE RENoUNCED A NEW ENGLAND
BELLE TO BECOME A PRIEST.

The death Of the inguished Catholic
Archbishop of Baltimore recalls to the
memory of some of those who remember
him in his youth the romance of his early
life. When be decided to leave the Episco-
pal ministry, for which he had been trained
and study for the priesthood, he made sacri-
fees that few men are called on to eudure.
He gave up at once not only his social posi-
tion but the great fortune which his uncle,
Mr.. James Roosevelt, after whom he was
named, intended to bequeath him, and worst
of all to some hearts, he renounced the wo-
man whom he loved
One of the most famous bellies that New
England ever produced was Miss Julia Beers,
daughter of Judge Beers, of sLitchfeld,
Conn. During the first thirty years of this
century the law school of Litchfeld was con-
sidered the most distinguished institution of
the kind in the country. It. drew to this
| bleak New England village the young men
of the best families throughout the coun-
| try, and one of its most honored teachers
was Judge Beers.
! His daughter was beautiful blonde of
the rarest type, with waving hair Of pale
| gold, large blue eyes, and figure remarka-
BILE for its tall and slender grace. Added to
these natural gifts, she possessed also fine
voice of remarkable power and compass,
which she constantly improved by training,
while her fine natural powers of mind were
cultivated by every advantage of education,
so that at twenty-five she was woman OF
rare and remarkable fascination.
At this time, during summer pleasure
trip, she met the young Episcopal clergy
man and the two became engaged. The
Rev. Mr.. Bayley was, at this period, strik
ingly handsome man, possessing qualities Of
heart and mind sure to endear him to those
with whom he was brought in contact They
were indeed remarkable man and woman
who met in that long past summer, and she
who had hundred adorers, listened with
pleasure to the addresses Of man who fell
that until now he had never met a fitting
mate
But powerful as love might be in an or.
ganization like this, the honesty of religious
conviction was still dearer to the heart OF
the young clergyman, and after his transfer.
ence to liagerstown, Nd, where he met the
present Cardinal McCosky, Mr.. Bayley re-
solved to become Catholic priest. Thi.
decision was a death blow to Miss Beers
She herself persuaded by her love, embraced
the faith of the Church of Rome, and for
while took refuge in a convent.
This departure to one of society's orna
ments to the gloom of closter produced
great sensation among the fashionable cir
Giles of that day, and when, after brit
period, she, under circumstances of pecuia
romance fled from the convent and returne,
to her friends, all sorts of speculations wer
set atloat. For few years she led life q

An OLD UMBRELLA.

An old umbrella In the hall,
Battered and bagsy, quaint and queer
BY all the rains OF many year
Bent, stained, and faded-that IS all.
Warped, broken, twisted by the blast
OF twenty winters, TIL at last,
Like some poor close-reefe schooner cast,
All water-logged, with hall mast,
Upon the rocks. It finds nook
OF shelter on an entry hook:
Old battered craft, how came you here
All, could 1t speak, 'twould tell OF one
Old simon Dowles, who now Is gone
Gone wnere the weary are at rest
OF one who locked within his breast
Ills private sorrows DER his lot,
And in his humble work forget
That he was but tOiling bark
Upon the billows in the dark,
White the brave newer ships sweptty,
Sailing beneath prosperous sky,
And winged with opportunities
Fate had denied to hands like his.
A plain old-fashloned wight was he
As these sport-loying days could see.

And yet we laughed when he had gone.

No matter II. 1t rained or shOne,
He had the umbrella In hts hand.

Where other shedders Of the rain
stood dripping up against the wall,
His was too shabby and too plain
To tempt exchange all passed 1t by,
Though showers OF rain were pouring down,
And all the cutters OF the town
Were torrents IN the darkening sky.

Save the last time he crossed our door.
Obiyious shadows DER his mind
Presaged his failing strength. Before
