SIZE INVITED HIN TO CdLL,

On the train was an officer from
Muslzegon who had in charge q
young brunette of many personal
charms, not tho least of which were
O. pair Of wicked black eyes, which
the spoiled gir knew we'll how to use,
The deputy sheriff was taking her
to the house Of correction, to which
she had baen sentenced for term
of three months after having been
convicted of various Irregularities in
the town of "sand and sawdust."
Among the passengers who boarded
the train at Lowell was CONNER
cial traveller. The officer had left
his seat by the side of his pretty
prisoner md was conversing with a
friend at the other end of the car.
The "drummer," espyipg the the
young lady, at once began game
of Irritation. and soon, upon her
own invitation, he was seated by her
side. Then commenced most de-
lightful conversation, which was
thoroughly appreciated by those
passengers who were near enough
to overhear. The officer watched
the pair narrowly, but did not inter-
fere, and soon every passenger in
the coach understood the situation.
The cruel Muslzegon girl enjoyed
the affair hugely, and was heard to
invite the gentleman to call on her
at her uncles house on Lafayette
avenue on Sunday. All the passen-
gers we're in the joke, but the man
of the road was blissfully uncono
scious that thespartner of his airta-
tion was on her way to prison.
When the train arrived in the city
Of Muskegon the officer stepped up
and, displaying his star said : "Come

her black eyes on the bewildered
commercial traveller, said

at our mansion, but my sentence is
only for ninety days, and if you

of that time, / shall be pleased to

recently committed suicide in Now
Orleans by shooting himself through
the bead, is said to have been the
step Of the sole owner of Web
sters Unabridged Dictionary, man
seventy eight years of age and
worth several millions. DR.. Gray's
story is that owing to domestic
difficulty he left his home in New
Haven. Ct, eighteen months ago and
went to Texas. When the yellow
fever ragged at Hel y Springs, Miss,
he wen there expecting and hoping
to become yictmi, as he was nearly

A Coin that will Grow.

nETER'S mother died. After that he
i was sent to his grandmother's for
he had quarrelsome, ,fretful temper and
his aunt could not manage him with the
other children. His grandmother dealt
kindly and patiently with him, and
helped him to improve.
Peter now had O new mother, and
his father had sent for him to come
home, but he did not want to go. He
felt sure he would not like his new
mother, and that she would not like
him.
That depends upon yourself, Peter"
said grandmother. "Carry love and
kindness in your pocket and you'll find
no difficulty"
That idea struck the boy favorably.-
He wished he could, he said.
And the best of it is" said grand
mother, if you once begin paying it
out, your pockets will never be empty,
for you'll be paid in your own coin. Be
kind and you will be treated kindly
love and you'll be loved"
81 wish could" said Peter.
And all the way home he more or less
thought of it. do not know about his
welcome home, or what his father or
new mother said to him. The next
morning he rose early, as he was used to
at his grandmother's, and came down
stairs, where everything being new, he

he said to himself; II know 1 shan't :;
I'm afraid there's not a bit of love in
my pocket"
However, in little while his new
mother came down, when Peter came
| up to her and said:
Mother, what can / do to help
you ?"
"My dear boy,'' said she, kissing him
on the forehead, how thoughtful you
are. thank you for your kind offer,
and what can do to help you; for L
am afraid you will be lonely here at
first, coming from your dear, good grand
mother!"
What kiss was that 1t made him
SO happy.
"That's paying me in more than my
own coin," thought Peter.
Then he knew he should love his new
mother, and from that good hour Peters
pocket began to fill with the beautiful,
bright coin of kindness, which is the
best "small change" in the world. Keep
your pockets full of it, and you will
never be in want.

Two years made her more liberal than
she had been, and she began TO study on
the subject. The more she read the
more she dlstrusted her former decision,
and she finally became quite as liberal
as her lover she had discarded.
Whether the logic of the books she
read or the promptings of the old love
had most to do with the change 1t
would be hard to tell
The lover, too, had undergone
change. The fact that his creed had
cost him his sweetheart annoyed him,
and, struggle as he would, he could not
Danish her from his memory.
Last winter revival of religion took
place in the city in which he was en-
gagged in business. AT the solicitation
of friend he was induced to attend.-
AS in the other case, 1t would be hard to
tell whether the change was brought
about by the arguments of the preacher,
by the excitement which prevailed, or
by the memory of his old love- Suffice
it to say that he united with the church
and in short time became jealous
member.
He thought over the action of his
former sweetheart in discarding him for
his infidelity and wrote her brief note,
asking the privilege of once more call
ing on her.
She responded in the affirmative. The
gentleman came, and when she timidly
apologized for her previous dismissal of
him, he, to her surprise, defended her
conduct, said she had been in the right,
and in her place he would to-day do the
same. Her heart sank at these words
She confessed the great change in her
sentiments. From being firm believer
in the Bible, she had discarded it, and
with it her belief in any revealed relig-
ion. 1t was now the gentleman's turn
to be Mortified. He pleaded with her,
urged everything he could think of to
induce her to change her mind. She
could not, and told him so. He felt that
he must not be " unequally yoked with
an unbeliever," and, taking counsel OF
his religion, gave her up.

All Aualnst Him.

THERE were two men (about 1881
Il Stlckpenny & Whewell, who owned
a saw mill near Old Town, Maine, in
common. The arrangement under
which the mill was operated was that
each one had the mill all to himself
during the alternate weeks. Stick
penny was mean, rusty old chap.
Whewell was q shrewd, investigating
young man. The mill was run by
crude, rough kind of an undershot
wheel that gave very little power for the
amount of water used, so that the water
was often short. Whewell wanted to
put in new iron spiral vent wheel then
just coming out, but Stickpenny would
have nothing to do with it. He wasn't
going to lay out money for any "such
job as that" Finally, Whewell said he
would pay all the bills, to which Stick
penny at last agreed, " but provided you
put the wheel in in your week." So the
new wheel was put in, and Whewell,
being of mechanical turn of mind,
experimental with it, and soon found
that by plugging up some of the orifices
the saw went through the log faster
than when they were all open. So he
plugged them up during his week, and
always pulled the plugs all out again for
Stickpenny to operate with. Soon it
began to be noticed that somehow or
other Whewell always managed to saw
couple of thousand feet more of lumber
in his week than ever Stickpenny could,
no matter how the pond was. Finally,
Stickpenny went down to see Whewell
about it.
Says he: Whewell. how is it that
you Away manage to saw more lumber
in given time than L can when my
turn comes roundp Says Whewell {:
"Don't you know how that isl Waal,
I'll tell you. It's because you amt been
treatin' of me fairly on this matter. It's
agin nature. You can't expect the mill
to saw as well for you as it does for them as
do the square thing all around" Stick
penny wouldn't believe that and went
away. But still the mill went ON turn

around and said I" What's your bill I

thereafter Stickpenny managed to saw

A Remarkable Love Story.

THE Port Jervis 4" Union" tells this
i story A little more than four years
ago a gentleman of this village, then
about twenty-three years of age, fell in
love with young lady, aged about
nineteen, also of Port Jervis. She re-
turned his affection, and for time all
went along smoothly. The lady was
the daughter of pious parents, and al
though she was not connected with any
church, was firm believer in their
tenets, and looked with feelings akin
to horror on anything approaching
skepticism or doubt But the time came
when she learned that her lover was
deist; that he disbelieved in revealed
religion, had no veneration for the Bible
and took no interest in churches, sell
dom or never attending them save as her
escort.
She was deeply panied by the revela-
ton. She sent for her lover and endeav-
ored to convince him of his error; but
he was not satisfied with her arguments
and refused to accede to a surrender of
his principles. The more the lady pom
dered, the more plain her duty seemed to
her, and she finally decided to renounce
her love.
She accordingly wrote him long and
tear-stained letter bidding him goodbye
forever.
The gentleman again and again urged
her to reconsider her determination, but
she was obdurate, and separation took
place. He was deeply grieved, but al
though he was, as he thought, badly
used, felt that she had acted up to what
her convictions of right demanded. He
could not easily divest himself of his
love, and after few months he left the
village and engaged in business else
where.
The lady mourned, but tried to satisfy
! herself that she had acted correctly

Crime iB Allegheny.

This seems to be an era of crime in
Allegheny county, and there is scarcely
a day that the papers do not contain
some fresh criminal sensation. Joseph
Aikens and wife have lived for many
years in Unity township, about five miles
from Greensburg, where they cultivated
good-sized farm. About a year ago
Aikens made up his mind to go to Ire
land, and with this purpose in view had
the title-deed to his farm made over to
his wife. Later, when he changed his
mind and determined to stay at home,
Mrs. Aikens refused to give up the title
deed, and this, so far as the neighbors
know, was the beginning of family
dispute, which has since been embittered
by Aikens' drinking habits. The quar-
rel eliminated recently. A young
man met Aikens on the road with q
shot gun in his hand. Aikens told him
that he had just shot his wife, and both
returned to the old farmers bouse. Mis-
Aikens was found lying in the from
doorway quite dead and while the young
man was looking at the terrible sigh
the aged murderer killed himself with
the same gum

Short Dresses for Women.

A lady just returned from protracted

fact, no fabric was too costly to cut up
in dresses of walking length. Only
dinner costumes and bali dresses were
made long. House dresses, carriage
dresses, promenade dresses, are all made
of one length. A Partisan. lady does not

Married by Telegraph.

THE Rev. c. S. Colt, pastor of the
i Centenary Methodist Episcopal
church, on Belleville avenue, Newark,
recently performed novel marriage
ceremony in the main Newark office of
the Western Union telegraph company.
He said that Miss Margaret Wright, of
Albany, N. Y, WHO was on visit to
friends in Newark. requested him to
marry her by telegraph to gentleman
in San Francisco. He told Miss Wright
that such marriage would hoebe legal.
She then said that she was engaged to
DIR. F. M. Shaw, of Los Angeles, who
had promised to come east for her. He
had written, however, that owing to a
rush of business he could not journey
east at the time agreed upon. He urged
her to join him in San Francisco, where
they would be married. She replied
promise to marry before she would take
such long journey. DIR. Shaw then
proposed that they should be married by
telegraph, with witness at the San
Francisco and Newark offices, and she
accepted the proposal.
The Rev. Mr.. Colt, after much urging,
consented to perform an informal mar
riage ceremony, with the understanding
that Miss Wright and DR.. Shaw should
be married afterward by clergyman in
| California.
He forwarded number of questions
to Dr. Shaw, who answered that ne was
fifty-one years old, did not have wife
living, and that no legal objections to
the proposed marriage existed. The
Rev. Mr.. Colt refused to give Miss
Wright marriage certificate, the under
standing being that she would get one
from the minister in California.
At nine O'Clock one evening the opera
tor in the Western Union office at
Market and Broad streets, Newark, was
surprised by the appearance of the Rev.
Mr.. Colt and fashionable party of
ladies and gentlemen in the office. Miss
Wright, who has dark chestnut hair,
brown eyes, and an olive complexion,
wore dark silk dress, with white bon
net and lilies of the valley. She carried
in her right hand small bouquet OF
white flowers. She blushed o deer
crimson and laughed nervously when
the Rev. Mr.. Colt said to the
operator that she wished to be married
by telegraph. BY request of the Rev
Mr.. Colt, the operator telegraphed tc
DR.. Shaw, who was awaiting with his
friends in the San Francisco office, the
question:
Are you ready 2"
In few minutes the answer was
flashed back: "Yes, and have been fol
an hour.n
The Rev. Mr.. Colt then read the ques
ton, which the operator sent to DIR
Shaw:
DO you take Margaret Wright fol
your lawful wife, and promise to b.
faithful to her until separated by
death ?''
There was considerable delay at tn,
San Francisco Office, and while waiting
for an answer the bride chatted pleas
antly with her friends, one of whom
said: Wouldn't it be joke, Maggie,
