MR.. SMITHS BOY.

His Startling Statements Concerning hi
Family.
A family named Smith has recent.
moved to Germantown, and Mr.. Brown
boy on Saturday leaned ever the fenc
and gave to our reporter his impression
of Mr.. Smiths boy, a lad about fourteen
years old:
Yes, me and him are right we'll &C.
quainted now; he knows mOre'n / do
and he's had more!experience. Bill says
his father used to be robber (Smith, by
the way is deacon in the Presbyterian
church. and very excellent lawyer
and that he has ten million dollars in
gold buried in his cellar, along with a
whole lot of human bones, people he's
killed. And he says his father is a con-
jurer, and that he makes all the earth.
quakes that happen anywhere in the
world. The old man'll come home at
night, after there's been an earthquake,
all covered with sweat. and so tired he
kin hardly stand. Bill says it's such
hard work.
"And Bill told me that once when a
man came around there trying to sell
lightning-rods, his father got mad ct him
right up, and he takes bites out of every
body he comes acrOst. That's what Bill
tells me. That's all l know about it.
And he told me that once he used to have
dog, one of these little kind of dogs,
and he was flying his kite, and, just for
fun: he tied the kite, string on to his dogs
tail. And then the wind struck her and
his dog went a-baomin' down the street
with his hind legs in the air, for about
mile, when the kite of sudden began to
60 up, and in about minute the dog was
fifteen mileshigh, and comm auding view
OF California, and Egypt and Oshkosh,
think Bill said. He came down anyhow,
l know, in Brazil, and Bill said he swum
home all the way in the Atlantic ocean,
and when he landed his legs were all
nibbled off by sharks.
81 wish father'd buy me dog, SOS /
could send him up that way. But 1
never have no luck. Bill said that where
they used to live he went out on the
roof one day to fly his kite, and he sat
on top of the chimbly to give her plenty
OF room. and, while he was sitting there
and thinking about nothing, the old man |
put key of powder down below on the |
fireplace to clean the SCOT out of the |
chimbly. And when he touched her off |
Bill was blowed over agin the Baptist
church steeple, and he landed on the
with his pants torn, and
they couldn't get him down for three
days; 80 he hung there, going round and
round with the wind, and lived by eating
the crows that came and sat on him be.
cause they thought he was cheet-iron
and put up there on purpose.

HOW SHE CAME TO HAVE
HIM.

So you won't have me, Nellie You
are sure you won't marry me?"
Pretty little Mrs. Nellie Willard looked
meditatively out of the window into the
quite village street, as if among the leaf
less trees and on the frost-bOund land
scape she should find the answer to
Horace Levison's question.
Then, after moment, she turned hel
face toward him-a face as fresh and fai,
in its peachy bloom as many a young
girls ten years her junior.
ell am--afraid l can't, Mr.. Levi.
son."
Mr.. Levison looked her straight in the
bright blue eyes-such lovely blue eyes,
sntt ss velvet, and the color of a violet
that has bloomed in the shade.
"YOu are afraid you can't, Mrs,
Willard? Answer me another question
yes or no: Do you love me?"
She blushed and smiled, and looked
bewitchingly.
Why, Mr.. Levison, l mean Harry,
Of course / do-like you! 1 always did
ever since l first knew you, years and
years ago."
"When Will Willard won the prize
all we fellows were striving for! So you
liked me then, Nellie, and you like me
now? Then why won't you marry me ?
You've been widow for three years
now. Isn't that long enough to mourn
for Will?
You wicked man! As if three hun
dred years could ever teach me to for
get poor, dear Wilson,"
Her bright eyes reproved him sharply,
and he accepted with good grace.
Granting the truth, Nellie, that
your deceased husband was good fel-
low and q loving partner, still can not
see why you refuse me. That is the SUBJ
ject under consideration at present, Mel
lie! Why won't you marry me?"
Then Mrs. Willard's face grew a little
paler, and her plump, fair hands trem-
bled.
Because, Harry because Wilson
Willard made me promise never to marry
again."
Nonsense! What if he did? A bad
promise is better broken than kept"
Mrs. Willard twisted her ring uneasily,
and looked at the illuminated shield of
the stone.
81 know it is" she said "but-"
Mr.. Levison looked earnestly at her.
Yes-'but' what, Nellie? In all re-
spect l say it-poor Will is dead and
gone, and you've been true to his
memory all these long years; and what
is he to do with you now?"
81 know" she said again, medita-
lively, "but-but Harry, he made me
solemnly promise never to marry again
under the penalty of hiseverlasting dis
pleasure. And don't be angry with me,
Harry, will you? But almost know
he would appear to me-"
The lovely blue eyes were lifted in
such piteous appeal to his, and the
pretty little widow made such nervous
little nesting nearer to him, that it was
the most human thing in the world for
Mr.. Levison to put his arm protectinglv
around her, and assure her he was not |
angry with her.
" So you believe he would haunt Won.
Nellie, if you broke your promises A
sensible little woman like you to verita,
bly, believe in superstitious fol de-rol
And after having waited for you ten
years of Jour married life, and three
years of your widowhood, you condemn
me to hopelessness for the sake of such a
chimera-for the sake of such a shadow
as your husbands ghost!"
And Nellie looked imploringly at him
again. and her lips quivered, and the
team sssod in great crystals on her long
lAihas.
