send her address 10 Alfred Willard Williams
e e;S,9 OF estate OF William Brown England
settled in behalf of the oboye,named 1a, fW
By order of the executor. A. W. W.
Brown, according to the statements of
the lawyer, was rich young country
gentleman from Yorkshire, England,
who came to this country in 1873 in
company with one Alfred Willard Will
liams, and travelled about for some years,
residing considerable portion of the
time in Boston, where he was well known.
At the Parker House his name has been
found on the register, and he is recalled
as tall, fine. hearty looking English
man of lavish habits. He is also said to
have lived at the fremont House, but of
this no proof has thus far been obtained.
Where he died is not known, but the
LAWYER in question claims to have re-
ceived corroborative information from
some lawyers that Browns estate in
Yorkshire had been the subject of will
contest, which had been decided favora-
bly, to the rights of the Mrs. Back
us, nee Hayward, of Baltimore,
mentioned in the advertisement. Who
Mrs Backus was is puzzling feature of
the case, and it is equally perplexing to
guess what her relation to Brown could
have been to have entitled her to the
$4,000 900 Yorkshire estate. Williams
was in New York last August, before his
return to England. He stopped at the
Astor House, where he is still remem-
bered. 1t is now supposed that Will
iams, as well as Mrs. Backus, has also
died, and no trace has thus far been
found to the heirs or kinsmen of either
of the nersons involved in the mystery.

The boy grew well, and in due time
became the supervising clerk of Mr..
Bierne's many stores. From his bust
ness exactitude and industry he was a
great tavorite with Mr.. Bierne, but with
few others. He was taciturn, reserved.
ana morose, even when a young man.
But his business habits and talents rec
commended him, and Mr.. Bierne estab-
hshed him in New Orleans with his son.
Ollver Blerne, where his characteristics
remained as they were in early life. He
had no social feeling, no sympathy. no
pubic spirit, but was pre-eminently sue
cesstul in trade.
Whether this story be true or not, Mr..
Bierne never denied it. One thing is
certain, the deceased never conversed,
nor would permit any one to converse
with him, about his origin or birthplace.
One OF his fellow clerks with Mr.. Bierne,
Andrew Mennis (brother of the late
Hon. Callohill Mennis, of Bedford Coun-
ty, Va.,) called on Mr.. Burnside when
in the zenith of his mercantile glory in
New Orleans, was kindly received, but
happening to recur to the story of his
birth, and contrasting it with his great
success, Mr.. Burnside flew into rage,
jumped up from the table, and never
spoke to him afterward.
During the war Mr.. Burnside re-
NAMED in Louisiana, and when his great
caop of sugar was seized by Gen. Butler,
got it all back on the plea of being a
British subject.
The finding of the will gives color to
the story of his babyhood. 1t is thought
that there will be a big legal fight over
the will by persons claiming to be rela-
tivcs of Burnside. NeW York Sun.

FOUND ON THE BEACH.

Found on the beach at br eak of day,
With seaweed twimed through her hair,
While the waves rolled in and kissed the feet
Of somebody's darling lying there.
Some one had loved her in days gone by,
If only mothers Low ttender and pure;
Some one nad cherished each wet dripping
curl,
And the ties of affection would ever endure.
The spray from the ocean swept over her face,
Like the damp dew of death, ere it fell to the
sand,
Caressing the features so gentle and fair
Of the stranger asleep on the strand.
The long silken lashes had closed DER her
eyes,
That sometime had sparkled so gay,
When the friends of her childhood were guard
ing safe
From the pitfalls and snares on the way.
A smile of contentment o'erspread the fair
face,
Erasing all trace OF the past;
In eternfty's kingdom she sought and had
found
Sweet rest from life's turmoil al last.
Her soft dimpled hands together were clasped,
AS if pleading with God for his love,
And the silent petition was borne on the wing
To the beautiful realms above.
The fishermen knew as they gathered around,
And tenderly bore her away,
That she who had perished was happier far
In immortality's brilliant array.
Peacefully, TRANQUILITY sleeping she lies,
As the years roll onward for aye,
And the stranger may read, as he passes along,
''Found on the beach at break Of day"

The Waiting PHILOSOPHER.

Some people think it one of the hard
est strains on human nature to be
obliged to wait at country depot for
the train. A philosopher takes real
pleasure in hanging around depot for
three hours. During the first fifteen
minutes he reads all the railroad cards
hanging in the waiting-room. If he is
near-sighted or poor reader he can put
in half an hour at this. Every depot
in this broad land has a front door.
The scenery from depot front door is
always grand. There is the track each
way there is the water-tank; there is
oftena small grocery on the corner op-
posite, with two small boys licking their
lips before the jar Of candy in the win
dow. It is often the case that depot is
surrounded by houses. Here is great
chance to speculate. Il there are, say,
twelve houses in sight, the philosopher
can wonder how many are under mort
gage, what percentage of husbands have
missed the top-stair in going down eel
lar; how many mothers-in-law make
home happy, and SO on, for an hour and
a half.
There is always dog, small boy,
and lame man around depot. A phi
losopher will make advances to the dog
and manage to tie his hind legs together
and start him off with yell. He will
win the small boys confidence with q
smile, and give him cent to stand on
his head. He will get up reunion with
the old man and draw him out The
old man got hurt by tumbling into a
ditch when he was drunk, but sharp
man can start the conversation so that
he will claim to have received the hurt
while climbing Lookout mountain rod
ahead Of Joe Hooker.
Two hours and half thus slip by on
the wings of lightning. While the fussy
fat man with the carpet-sack has gone to
sleep in despair. the philosopher has
been having a bully time. The other
half hour is mere nothing. The phi
losopher puts that in by asking the tele-
graph operator how long it took him to
learn by taking five Or six drinks from
the water-cooler by walking up and
down the platform, and counting the
birds on the telegraph-wires; or by
walking two or three miles down the
track to meet the train and ask the con-
ductor if his family are as well as usual.
There is 70 earthly reason why any
waiting passenger shouldn't take solid
comfort around a depot Val Street

Rank.

From general observation it seems
that man is ranked according to his
wealth and standing in community. Ii
he has comfortable income he is a
Major, but If he possess bank or runs
a half-dozen plantations, all letters ad-
dressed to him viii have the prefix Colo
mel to his name. When man looms
up rs a Commodore, he is fat bond
holder. He Owls two or three railroads
and very nearly all the people who have
business transactions with him. No one
has the least idea how many military
officers there are in the country until he
travels around. Not long ago an observ-
ing man, while on a trip through
Georgia, was invited to fashionable
dinner party, and while there was intro
duced to sixteen Majors, ten Colonels,
and eight Judges. He was nothing but
a plain Mister, and. as he gazed at the
notables seated around him, he felt like
a mere fy-speck in this world Life sud-
denly grew gloomy and dull, and the
more he thought of his humble position
the more melancholy he became. He
