waited long; now has come the most fit
ting time to do him justice and yourself,
now and here before it is too late"
The woman turned to him wide eyed
and CHASTITY, but her lips never moved.
Tell them," he continued, "of lying
words, of broken vows, of mans coward
ly hiding behind womans strength.
Then even now at the eleventh hour the
proofs of his perjury take him from his
high estate. humble him in the dust
where all these years he has let you lie"
He ceased. little quiver of breathless
expectation ran through the audience.
Silent as the grave the woman gazed at
him one, two, three moments passed.
MARY" the Squire's voice was shak-
ing. his body swayed like a pine tree
shaken in strong wind. Mary, where
is that paper: ::
Even then she did not speak, only
pointed tow ard the coffin and sank upon
her knees. The Squire bent above the
dead boy for moment, then handed to
the pastor paper taken from beneath
his folded hands.
"Neighbors, that have been friends"
he said, ~ have told the woman's story,
a story that has never passed her lips.
Deceived, betrayed, forsaken, she has
kept a promise made to that cowardly
man, who found in the strength Of her
love for him, his own safety. Years ago
a fathers anger seemed a worse thing
than the curse of the Lord, and bitterly
has he punished me for mine iniquity.
My wife has been taken from me, my
three darling boys have all gone the way
tha, to-day must go my eldest SON.
A groan that told the horror OF great
surprise, quivered through the church.
II am ready; that paper is marriage

ready now to make this tardy restitution.

my wife"
Only few solemn words, and this man
and woman, parted by long years of sin,
shame and suffering, were made one at
last.
The Squire rose from where. at his
Pastors feet he had fallen on his knees
beside the woman, then stopped to lift
his wife, but started back with cry Of
horror.
His restitution came ell too late. At
the fee, Of the sinner, the sinned against,

VISIT TO A PIN FACTORY.

A writer in the New York Evening
Post thus describes the mysteries Of PIN
making: The pin machine is the nearest
approach that mechanics have ever made
to the dexterity Of the human hand. A
small machine about the size Of ladies'
sewing machine, only stronger, stands
before you. On the back side light
belt descends from q long shaft at the
ceiling that drives all the machines, ranged
in rows on the floor. On the left side
of our machine. hangs on peg small
reel of wire that has been Strengthened
by running through a compound system
of rollers.
The wire descends, and the end Of il
enters the machine. 1t pulls it and bites
it off by inches incessantly. l40 bites
to minute. Just as it seizes each bite,
little hammer with a concave face hits
the end Of the wire and upscts it to a
head, while it grips in a counter-sunk
hole between its teeth. With an out
ward thrust Of its tongue it then lays
the pin sideways in little groove across
the rim Of a small wheel that slowly
revolves just under its nose. BY the
external pressure Of stationary hoop
these pins are carried into their places,
as they are carried under two series OF
small files, three in each. These files
grow finer towards the end Of the series.
They lie at a slight inclination on the
points of the pins, and by series OF
cams, levers and springs are made to play
like lightning" Thus the pins are
pointed and dropped in shower into a
little box.
Twenty.eight pounds Of pins day is
days work for one Of these jerking
little automstons. Forty machines on
this floor make $50 pounds Of pins daily ;
these are then polished. Two very intel
lisent machines reject every crooked pin,
even the slightest iregularity Of form be-
ing rejected.
Another automaton asserts half doz-
en- lengths in as many boxes, all at once
and unerringly, when careless operator
has mixed the contents Of boxes from
the various machines. Lastly, a perfect
genius Of machine hangs the pin by the
head in an inclined platform through as
many "slots" as there are pins in row
on the papers. These slots converge into
the exact space, spanning row.
Under them runs the strip Of pin paper.
A hand-like part Of the machine catches
one pin from each of the slots as it falls,
and by one movement sticks them all
through two corrugated ridges in the pa
per, from which they are to be picked by
taper fingers in boudoirs, and all sorts Of
human circumstances. Thus you have
its genesis;
Tall and slender, pale and thin.
Pretty. little. useful pin.

The Senate Pic stand.

The Senate pie stand, says the Hnkn-
ington correspondent OF the Hartford
Times, was kept by crippled lady
named Mary Burch. She has been
there for many years, and has probably
made money. During the time Mary
has kept it she has had as customers
many of the leading men Of the nation.
Senator McCrary, OF Kentucky, the most
humorous speaker that has been in the
Senate since the days Of Nye, was
regular customer Of Mary's stand; 20
also was Zach Chandler. David Davis
could be seen there every day the Senate
was in session, drinking his glass OF
milk and eating his piece Of pie, for
which Mary charged eight cents.
Chandler was crest pie-eater; Senator
Vest, OF Missouri. was also frequent
but not regular consumer OF Maryb
famous pies. / remember one day OF
hearing Senator McCrary invite Senator
Ransom, of North Carolina, up to
Mary's stand. Said McCrary. whose
strongest point was his economy and
saving-he saved, it is said, $685.
600 of the $4,000 he received as
salary for the eight years he was
in the Senate" Ransom, you have
luuched me several times, now come
and take lunch with me-" Ransom
accompanied him, expecting, OF course,
TO be led down 10 the restaurant. but
McCrary walked direct to Mary's pie
stand. MARY" said be, "give rs two
glasses of milk aud five cents worth OF
ginger cakes" Turning to Ransom. be
asked, innocently: Ransom, do you
like ginger cakesi" Ransom said he
did. but be drank the milk only, while
McCrary consumed the 6ve cakes. An
other day he met Conkling walking
along the hall. Stopping him, he said
"Conkling. have something" "Conk-
ling said: Certainly" McCrary went
over to the stand. and, handing Mary
two pennies, said: "Give rs two OF
those long sticks Of candy" Taking
the largest, he handed Conkling the
other. and the pair walked of. One
day Mary was asked il Senator Davis
ate in proportion to his size. She an
swered: mo, he don't eat much, but
he is good pay, which is more than some
Of them" Senator Davis. besides his
million-dollar farm, has st least another
million dollars lying around. Mary
made Q cake which wa known - the
two-cent cake. 1t was made of better
material than the ordinary penny cake.
Chandler was noticed munching on
them one day by . friend. who asked Il
be could stand such food. "Stand itl''
he replied; "no, ! don't stand It. Ny
liver il too active, and Ieat these to stop
Il q little"

PARIS MAINE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER Ia. 1880.

with illustrations by Gustave Dore; one
volume, extra large quarto, $3.50. This
is superb copy of this weird and fasci-
mating legend that has come down to US
from the Middle Ages. Its fascination
is now forever enhanced by the mastery
delineations of Dore. This unique and
original production shows the wonderful
resources Of the artists mind and his
great facility with the pencil, perhaps in
almost equal degree. In turning over
the designs Of Dore one wonders that the
artist could have told so much; that he
could have made each scene tell the story
in some new and varied form, making
the very elements suggest, in novel and
striking ways, the workings Of the out
casts mind. The book is handsomely
bound, and will make magnificent gift
book for young or old.

Bible Gallery and Cauterbrand's Amer

AROUND THE YEAR.
HART LYMAN.

Love came to me in the spring.time,
with the soft, sweet April showers;
Her breath was the breath OF the woodland,
And her lap was filled with flowers.
Her step was a song in the silence;
Its melody rose and fell
As she danced through the fragrant twilight
To the bower we knew so well.
And the Spring glided on 10 the summer
With the flame OF It's fervent darts,
And the noon of the neeting season
Was the noon OF our beating hearts.
Blu, the Autumn came with Its shadows.
And noon was no longer hot;
And the frost crept into our pulses.
And Summer and Spring were not.
And Love was alive with the Winter.
But her beauty and grace had ned;
Mid the SHOWS OF March left her,
With a cypress wreath at her head.

LAWYER CORNERED.

Not even a lawyer, however skillful in
cross examination, can make a witness
tell the truth, provided the witness wishes
to evade it. 1t is impossible to put a
question in such exact language that it
will demand the desired answer. 1t was
necessary on a certain occasion in court
to compel a witness to testify as to the
way in which a Mr.. Smith treated his
horse. "Well, sir" said the lawyer,
with sweet and winning smile-a smile
intended to drown all suspicion as to
ulterior purposes-"how does Mr.. Smith
generally ride horse"
The witness looked up innocently and
replied: "Generally a-straddle, sir, / be-
lieve."
The lawyer asked again:
"But. sir, what gait does he ride"
The imperturbable witness answered
"He never rides any gate at all, sir, but
I've seen his boys ride every gate on the
farm"
The lawyer saw he was on the track
of Tartar, and his next question was
very insinuating.
"How does Mr.. Smith ride when he
is in company with others, demand a
clear answer"
"Well, sir" said the witness, "he
keeps with the rest, if his horse is able
TO, or if not, he falls behind"
The lawyer was by this time almost
beside himself, and asked: "And how
does he ride when he is alcne?"
81 don't know" was the reply; II
was never with him when he was alone, F"
and there the case dropped.
