ly, fora woman Of any means, she
was remarkably penurious. Her
small house had few comforts in it.
One smouldering fire alone was light
ed there in the depth Of winter.
Butchers meat was almost an un-
known thing, and tea, coffee and su-
gar luxuries, never 10 be thought Of
by Penelope Baxter, the, only other
inmateof Mrs. Buttersby's mansion
beside her excellent self For, be il
known, Mrs. Buttersby had a slave
of white complexion who trembled at
her very nod; who lived on cold po-
tatoes-when there we're anymore
Mrs. BIS old gowns, out Of which she
was always bursting, like an over
boiled potatoe out Of its jacket; and
was invariablyseon in very much
fattoned slippers entirely down at
the heels and the clumsiest of blue
yarn stockings. A slave who, on
rare occasions of absence, signed her
letters to the old lady "Your dutiful
niece, Penelope Baxter" and was
supposed to be the daughter of Mrs.
Buttersby's sister, who was always
alluded to as that "undutiful critter,
SAL" by the old lady, and as @nlar''
by the young one.
Penelope, although not set off by
her attire, was a good-looking girl
witha ncz retrousce, blue eyes, pink
cheeks, curly golden hair, and no
sign Of bones anywhere about her,
and was, truth to tell, the object Of
the alteration, not only of Simon
I'omkins, the village. baker, but Of
Simon starback, who had.no partics
ular trade at present, but thought of
doing something, and, meanwhile,
was the genius of his household
Having q taste for music, and being
q
known to have written poems for the
Leekville Wundrboh. The baker,
being elderly, and wearing ared wig,
was despised by Miss Penelope; but
Simon was not only in secret but in
q measure openly; for at the bottom
of the garden, under the pear tree
before alluded to, there had been an
interchange of VOWS and locks of
hair, and a promise of eternal con.
stancy. For the life of her Penelope
would not have revealed this to her
aunt, but the old lady being shrewd
enough to see through so transparent
q thing as Penelope's heart, found it
out for herself and accused her of the
crime.
you've gone andengaged yourself,
Pen," she said, standing stiff as any
ghost in her white night gown beside
the damsel's cot bed one night.

Pen, who was a tender-hearted
damsel, wopt profusely at this, and,

The village Of Tobyhanna Mills, Monroe
county, Pc, Is almost entirely surrennded by
forest fires which arr extending through this

aid hemlock and spruce logs have been burned
ana the fires are threatening the destruction OF
All the bark and logs in the woods. The Toby
hanna and Lehigh lumber companies are the
principal sufferers.
New Jersey is still suffering from forest fires.
The air is sitting with smoke and the sun is
obscured. Thousands OF birds and animals are

The fire seems to be feeding upon the half char

The king and his mobiles generally
made their journeys on horseback, but
they also possessed carriages. Nothing
gives better idea Of the rude, cumbrous
luxury which was at that time the boast
of civil life than the structure Of these
heavy machines. The best Of them had
four wheels, and three or four horses
harnessed in single file; one Of them was
ridden by postilion armed with whip
with short handle and several thongs,
Solid beams rested on the axles, and q
truck with q round top like tunnel was
placed upon this frame; the unsightly
effect Of the whole can be imagined, a.
though there was extreme elegance in
details. The wheels were overlaid with
ornament, and the spokes, - they ap-
preached the outer rim, took the form OF
pointed arch; the wooden nides ct the
carriage we're painted and gilded, and
the inside was hung with the beautiful
tapestry 80 common in that age. The
seats were covered with embr0idered
cushions, on which il was possible 10

pillows in tho angles, - II TO provoke

AGhastly Mystery.

New Haven, little village situated six miles
east of Fo,t Wayne, Ind, Is agitated by the
discovery Of two human skeletons in clump
of bushes on farm located close to the Maui
NEE river. They we're lying rather huddled up
together, and had evidently not been disturbed
since they were placed there, unless, perhaps,
by vultures. close examination, made by
physicians, revealed the fact that the skeletonc
were those Of a man and a woman, while .
knife, considerably eaten by rust was found by
the side of the bones. The man, in life, was al
unusually large-sized and well-developed person,
while the woman must have been about the
medium size. OF course these discoveries
caused great sensation at New Haven. The
entire population has viewed the skeletons, and
many theries are advanced on the subject The

unfrequented spot, along the bank Of tho river,

animation of tho box showed that it had been
arranged to discharge its contents at both ends,
but, as the consul held it sideways when open

A Thrilling Adventure.

Near the Umatilla river, in Oregon,
recently, Mr.. Green was digging q
well, and Mr.. Scott, his brother-in-law,
while breaking young horse, approach
ed the well, when the animal made q
plunge at him. Mr.. Scott dodged and
the horse tumbled into the well, striking
Green and crushing him to the earth.
The only thing that prevented him from
being instantly killed was box sus-
perded by q rope. This sustained suffi-
cient weight to allow him to breathe.
Scott realized that the frantic efforts Of
the horse would kill the man beneath
him, seized an Ak and jumped down
upon the animal, when life and death
struggle ensued. He at length managed
to deal the horse q fatal blow. Every
time the horse struggled large quanti-
ties Of earth poured down upon Green.
Scott climbed out and ran mile and O
half for help. Returning as quickly at
possible, men ret to work cutting the
horse to pieces and hosting it out Of the
well. Mrs. Green was present and
cheered her husband BY telling him that
he would so0n be released. The poor
man was suffering intense agony, and
said he could not live . minute longer.
He bade his wife farewell in choking
sobs. With frantic efforts the animal
was torn limb from limb until the last
piece was cleared away, and the nm
conscious man was found buried tO his
chin in dirt and gravel, saturated with
blood, and was Eftedto the surface. He
wss carried to his home, where restora-
tives were applied, and In abort time he
spoke. Although no bones were broken
