A lady in Portland. Maine

A. lady in Portland, Maine,
called at a jeweIry store, and af-
ter making a purchase went
home. Two hours later a mes
senger called at her house and
informed her that she had left
something at the jewelry store.
Now let me see, she unused,
"What can it be? Here is my
pocket-book, and there on the
sofa is my fan, and / have my
gold watch, and my bonnet
why, where is my bonnet?-oh,
there it is on the floor; it fell off
the table-and really / can not

Why, to be surei How absent
minded ] am! | declare if /
haven't forgotten my precious,
darling little babe!'' And she
Ihad--only this and nothing more.

Endorsing and Going Bail.

These are two of the great
evils of the day, and we cordi-
ally endorse the following. sem
sible remarks:
ait appears that it is some
times necessary to swear off
other things besides whiskey
drinking. A man up in New
York state, who had lost con-
siderable money by endorsing
the commercial paper of friends,
recently went before a magis-
trate and took a solemn oath
that he would from that time
forth ncvermore endorse any
paper of pecuniary value.
Some man with the ''gift of
gab' who is casting about for
an easy way to make a living
might strike a bonanza here by
the organization of a reform
movement of this kind. The
reason for signing such apledge a
would be nearly if not quite as
strong as those for signing the
temperance pledge. The en-
dorsement of commercial paper
for friends amounts TO almost
as great an evil as social drink
ing. 1t is the cause of IL vast
amount of financial distress. O.
yer the whole country, and we
venture to say that statistics
would show that it produces
nearly as many murders and
suicides as the use OF strong
drink"
OF course there arc cases i'll
commercial transactions and in
legal proceedings where the
practice is proper and necessa-
ry, but we refer to the indis-
criminate methods now in
vogue. A man may not intend
to 'sstick" his friend. bnt un-
forcseen causes may lead 10
that result.

A lady from Georgia, visit
ing some relatives in New York,
was very much shocked the 9TH
er day at one of her nieces.
They went into a shoe store and
the niece asked to see some
high-buttoned boots, No. 2's.
The handsome clerk brought
them, whereupon the Young la
dy took seat and coolly threw
her leg upon ore Of the clerks
knees, who was kneeling before
her, that he might take the old
boots off, and put OH the new
ones. The clerk began at the
bottom button, and was gradu-
ally going higher up the young
lady's ankle, when the Georgia
spinster became so excited that
she began to bclabor the young
man with her parasol for daring
TO take such liberty with her
niece that down South would
have cost him his life. The
young lady was highly inccns-
ed at her conduct, because what
had passed was of every day oc-
uerrence in New York, and no
ono there thought anything of it.

Benson's party. He was walk

face for it. Next day he came
! to our house, and mother, whom

trick. To-day at noon he pass

bowed to me with a malicious
smile"
"Great Godi can that be true:"
Iexclaimed Westmoreland, in a
tone of horror.
"What is the matter?" she said,
wonderingly.
He made no reply, but tried to
stop the horse, which was DASH
ing along at a fearful rate.
"Janet," he then whispered,
in a voice hoarse with terror,
''rise and cling to me! 1t is a
matter of life or death!'
So saying he clasped his arm
around the waist of the aston
ished girl, got up and jumped
with her out of the buggy.
Two seconds after that a loud
crash was heard, the horse and
buggy having gone down the
precipice to the bank of Rock
Creek, about sixty feet below.
i But Janet Walden had no ear
for that. She was bending over
the senseless body of her lover,
who had been seriously injured
by the searful leap, while she had
escaped uninjured.
She tried to revive him, but inl
vain. At last she went to a
house in the neighborhood and
brought assistance. Westmore-
land was found to have broken
both legs, and he was confined
for months to a couch of pain.
But he bore it all cheerfully, for
Janet was nursing him with the
! atienceand kindnessof an angel.
When he had fully recovered
he married her, but before start
ing with her on his bridal trip
he wrote the following note to
Percy Beers:
II shall be absent from the
city for three weeks. If i hear
that you are still here at the
tine of my return / shall shoot
ycu at sight. You know what
for, and also that ] shall keep
my word.
"JAMEs WESTMoRELAND." " /
Mr.. Beers thought it prudent
to leave the city before Mr..
Westmoreland returned. orCl
Westmoreland never told his
wife what wicked purpose he
had had in regard to her, but he
tried to atone for it by behaving
as a model husband toward her.

New Burial of Sir John Moore.

4
Not a drum was heard, be-
cause the drummer was not
feeling we'll and asked to be ex-
cused, nor a funeral note Of any
kind, as his corpse to the ram
parts we hurried, not a single
son-of-a-gun of a soldier dis
charged his farewell shot DER
the grave where the remains Of
the late Mr.. Moore were depos-
Iited. The farewell shot ,busi-
ness was omitted on account of
the great scarcity of fammunition.
We buried him darkly at the
dead of night, and did the best
job we conld for him under the
circumstances. We could not
borrow, beg or steal a pick or
shovel in the entire .neighbor-
hood, and were obliged to turn
the sods with our bayonets,
which by the way was the first
thing that had been turned by
said bayonets since we had
been drafted. We did all this
by the struggling moonbeams'
misty light and the lantern dim
ly burning, with just half c.
-nough oil init, and a strip Of an
old flannel undershirt for a wick.
Few and short were the prayers
we said, the captain being home
on a furlough and no one within
forty miles to take his place.
We spoke not a word of sorrow,
our time being somewhat limi-
ted, as the enemy was not for
distant, and advancing with gil
gantic strides. We thought, as
we followed his narrow bed and
smoothed down bis lonely pill
low with a canteen, that the foe
and stranger would tread DER
his head, and we far away on
the billow; but not too far, how
ever, as the enemy out-num-
bered us about seven to one.
Lightly they'll talk Of the spir-
it that's gone, and wonder
where they can get another
flask filled with the same, and
DER his cold ashes upbraid him,
knowing, of course, that lie is in
no condition to defend himself;
but little they'll reck if they let
him sleep on in grave where
Briton has laid him, and not
bother him to get up and take
out burial permit or ask him
to pay ground rent. We wish
here to correct the impression
that slowly and sadly We laid
him down from the field of his
fame, fresh and CORY. we did
no such a thing. The corpse
was washed and put in good
shape, and We defy any man to
show that there was a drop of
gore about him. 1t is true that
we carved not line and we
raised not a stone, because there
was no stone-mason handy who
would do the job at reasonable
figures. About this time we
heard the distant random gun
that the foe was sullenly firing.
so we adjourned the funeral,
left the deceased alone in his
glory, and made ourselves scarce
in that vicinity.

MY TRUST.

A1sO ~ - &c.
wonder full often, my darling boy,
My Lad with the bonny blue eye,
What Thy fate in this changeable world
will be- IN
And then answer it with sigh.
For the strangest fancies will come and go
And the arrest thought arise
That ever took shape in mothers brain
Who would fain for thy sake be wise.
| wonder sometimes if The lass is born
Who bis helpmeet in life will be?
Will she love my boy for himself alone,
AS he has been loved by me-?
Will she see his faults in a tender light
And think it no irhsome care, a84v
When time shall come for pain or woe,
His.burden in part 20 bear?
And will he be kind TO her who wears
The mothers bright crown for, him,
Nor make the star of her fond hope set
In tears, aud her day grow dim?
Perhaps il an lies with me TO train
Aud fashion him at my win,
Whether then the sum Of my darling years
Endeih we'll for them both, or ill.
This much | ask: may ] do my part
With the merciful help Of Heaven,
Lest should be called TO last account
For The trust that my God hath given. 2
Whilemy boy ispliant and young and true,
Like 10 wax in my loving hands,
Let me mould his temper and heart and mind
Till MAN among men he stands!
