gasping sob, and he fell face downwards
on the floor.
Almost at the same instant the door
Of the library again opened, and an old
woman OF more than sixty entered
For moment she stood as one bewil-
dered, and then quickly. advanced to
where the real baronet was standing.
"Ah, master Henry,' she said "itis
you indeed. My poor, dear mistress
never would believe you were dead, and
1t was that you might have your own
when you came home that she got an
other to take your place"
The three listeners stood astounded al
the secret her words revealed as she
went on to tell how, sooner than allow
the bequest to pass into the hands of her
husbands enemy, Lady Eastchamp had
procured substitute to represent her
son. They also understood how, learn
ing that the real heir was about to re-
turn home, the impostor had sought to
confirm his claim to the name and for
tune gained by fraud by still darker
crime.
He was free from human punishment
now, however, for the poison he had
swallowed, was almost instantaneous in
its efiect,an he was dead. Miss Lowell
was of course, at once released from
prison, and a year or two later became
Lady Eastchamp. The suicide of the
imposter satisfied the public mind, and
beyond favored few outside of the
ranks of the secret service, no one ever
knew the darker shades of this family
secret.

Can You I?

Can you tell why men who cannot
pay small bills can always find money
to buy liquor and treat when among
friendsp
Can any one tell how young men who
are always behind with their landlords
can play billiards, night and day, and
always be ready for game of cards
when money is at stakel
Can any one tell how men live and
support their families who have no in
come and no work, while others, who
are industrious, are half starvedp
Can any one tell why four-fifths Of the
young ladies prefer brainless fop, I'M
der plug, with tight pants and short
coat, to man with brains
Can any one tell why it is that some
mothers are always ready to sew for the
distant heather when their own chill
dren are ragged and dirty ?
Can any one tell why man who is al
ways complaining that he cannot afford
to subscribe for the local newspaper, and
every week borrows it from his neigh
Dor, can afford to attend every travelling
show that comes into town?

A Hypocrite Ring.

I" Say, mister" as he walked up to
the proprietor of a jewelry store who
stood behind the counter, shave you
any of these here-fnger rings-these
here-these-oh forgot what you call
'em ?''
"Gold rings 2" asked the proprietor.
" No, not quite gold rings-oh, yes
hypocrite gold rings that's it,"
{" can't understand what you mean
by that" said the proprietor with 9
stare.
" mean," said the young man, "this
kind of gold that looks like gold and
isn't gold this here kind that most
everybody is wearin' nowadays. want
a ring for my girl, and / want you to
scratch on the inside, Jim Brown to
Sallie jones' Don't care what it costs.
You can go as high as fifty cents for it
all if you want to. It's a begagement
ring"
The boss took it all in, and soon fixed
him off with "hypocrite" gold ring
done up in the softest cotton.

He Did Once.

A leading officer in one of the courts
was charged with never going to bed
sober. OF course he Indignantly denied
the soft impeachment, and he gave the
particulars of a particular night in proof.
We quote his own words
Soon after got in bed, my wife
said :"
Why husband, what's the matter
with you ? You act so strangely Y''
"There is nothing the matter with
me-" said /.
" I'm sure there is, said she; you
don't act natural at all. Shsn't get up
and get something for you Z" And she
got up, lighted the candle, and came to
the bedside to look at me, shading the.
light with one hand. ST knew there
was something about you,o said she.--
Why, you are sober ~

Took the Brag Out.

A carpenter and joiner in Oneonto,
New York, said to his fellow-workmen
" am going to send over home to Scot
land and get -hammer-one that
/ can work with. can't get q decent
hammer in America
About this time a friend of his was
going back 10 the "auld sod," and he
commissioned him to go to the best hard,
ware store in Glasgow and get him q
carpenters claw-hammer, the best he
could find.
In due time the friend returned bring
ing the desired tool. The party gather
ed around him including some of his
fellow workmen and he proceeded to
open the package, in the meantime
making this rewark: "I'll show you
something to make your eyes water,'' as
the friend had assured him that he
bought him the kind of hammer used
by the best workmen in Glasgow.
He aflectionately unwound the wraps
and as he took the tool and handed It
over to his friends, he said:
There look at that"
One of his friends did so, and read the
trademark on the hammer: ' Made
at Norwich, N. Y, U. S. A." You can
imagine the scene that followed. Suf-
flee to say that there was no more brag-
ging about Scotch hammers.

Judgment Of Men.

Don't judge a man by the clothes he
wears. God made one and the tailor the
other.
Don't judge him by his family con-
nections, for Cain belonged to a very
good family.
Don't Judge a man by his failure in
life, for many man fails because he is
too honest to succeed.
Don't judge man by his speech, for
parrot talks, but the tongue is but an
instrument of sound.
Don't judge a man by the house he
lives in, for the lizard and the rat often
inhabit the grandest structures.

SUNDAY READING.
NOT ALL IN THE BRINGING UP.

II isn't all In bringing up,
Let folks say what they will
You sllver-wash a pewter cup
II will be pewter still.
E'en he of old, wise Solomon,
Who said train up child"
II mistake not, raised son,
Gay, rattle-brained and wild.
A man of mark, who fain would pass,
For lord Of sea and land,
May have the training of an ass,
And bring him up full grand;
May give him all the wealth of lore,
or college and Of school,
Yet after all make him no more
Than just decent fool.
Another raised by penury
Upon her bitter bread;
Whose road to knowledge is like that
The good for heaven must tread,
Has got spark of Natures light,
He'll fan It to fame,
Till in the burning letters bright
The world may read his name.
If IL were all In bringing up,
In counsel and restraint,
Some rascals had been honest men--
I'D been, myself, saint.
oh, 'tis not all in bringing up,
Let folks say what they will
Neglect may dim silver cup
1t will be silver still.
