A Touching story.

This touching story was told by
Eastman Johnson to a correspondent
in Nantucket: On narrow island near
the New England coast, where the crier
goes about the streets b. day aud the
watchman by night, where they dis
pose Of surplus meat by auction, and
the merry maiden and the tar go
ju1keiing together il aa ancient calaah,
lives an old lady, Aunlic B.. TIE
same roof has sheltered three genera
lions of her family, aud 1t would require
little less than an earthquake to dlslodge
her from her seat by the old-tashioned
fireplace. There she sits, picture OF
peace and contentment.
Haven't you siu gle regret IN Jour
liie?' we asked her once.
She dropped her knitting, and
dreamy look crept over her placid eyes.
Yes she said at length, Il have.
Ten years ago, when my dear uead
sister was alive, man with a hand
organ came to this island by the steah-
er. Oh, he could play beautifully! lie
came near our street aud my sister says
to me, Let Us 20 down 10 the corner
and see hlm play Well, do you know

Just splendid: and | suppose | shall

my dying day.
And the dear Old soul dropp.d tear

A Busin ess Spell.

Two or three years ago there lived n
the lower oil country prominent OIL
producer who was notoriously bad
speller. In let ter, among other
errors. he spelled water with two U.s.
A party Of gentlemen were discussing
this peculiarity in the bar'room oil inc
Collins House, OIL City, one evening,
when the poor speller himself CHANGED
to come ia.
.Hellop said one of toe party, corr
puleut gentleman. now remotely co"'
nected with the New York Petroleum
Exchange. I'VE were jnst talking abont
you
is that so?' was the reply. And
what were you saying"
why, some Of the boys claim that

They do. l think | can spell abolt

IN tell you what I'll do with you,
said the first speaker; iii bet the
champagne for the party that you cant

'All right, replied the producer, aud
he proceeded to spell the word
'W-a-t.e-r.'
That's the way spell wat1r Tor
money he qnieily remarked, out
when spell il for fun sometimes use

The corpulenl gentleman paid iol
the wine, and the silence became 50

He was Satisfied.

A Young society swell recently took
advantage of sunny afternoon 10 call
on one of Chicago's bellies for the pur-
pose OF inviting her 10 the theatre. As
the young lady in question was not IN.
her sister undertook TO entertain the
Young gentleman. After the usual
limited round OF society topics had
been talked over, the gentleman took
the lady to task for her frequent adjec'
tiyal appellaliOn of dear and darling
in speaking of her, averring that in bis
opinion it was affected. The young
lady laughlugly denied this. At this
moment the absont sister was seen re-
turnlng, and the iucre dulous young
man proposed to put the matter to a
test By coucealing himself behind the
curtains and thus overheard their con-
versation unhampered by society re-
strictions. The young lady assented to
this plan with evident willingness, and
the doubler was efi'ectually concealed
in the lace mazes of the curtain.
why, my dear, how long you have
been absent SAID she 10 the returning
sister as she entered the parlor. 'You
dear darling, why did you not come
sooner?'
WELL responded the maiter-oi'iic'
beauty. what III the world is the mat
ter with youP Are you crazy?
The young man srinned in triumph
behind the lace curtains; but now came
the willy young lady's turn.
NV DEAR said she, you don't
know what you have missed. Mr.

FRANK G. RUFF
A Beautiful Story.

Colerldge relates a story 10 this effect;
Alexander, during his march into
Africa, came tc people dwelling in
peaceful huts, who knew neither war
nor conquest. Gold being offered HIM, 4,
he refused it, saying that his sole OBJ
iect was 10 learn the manners and Gus
toms Of the inhabitants.
STAY with u.s. said the chief, as long
as it pleaseth thee.
During this interview with the Afrl-
can chief two of Ills subjects brought a
case before him for judgment. The
dispute was this: The one had bought
a piece of ground which, alter the pur-
chase, was found 10 contain treasure,
for which he felt hIms elf bound 10 pay;
the other refused to receive anything,
stating that he had sold the ground
with what it might be found 10 contain,
apparent or concealed.
Said the chief, looking at the one ,
You have a son. and 10 the other,
You have q daughter; let them be
married and the treasure given them as
a dowry.'
Alexander was astonished.
And what said the chief, would
have been the decision in your coun-
try?'
'We shonld have dismissed the par
ties and seized the treasure for the
kings use.'
And does the sun shine in your
country p said the chief; does the rain
fall there? Are there any cattle there
which feed upon the herbs and green
grass 2
Certainly said Alexander.
'Ah ! said the chief, 1T is for the
sake Of those innocent cattle that the
Great Being permits the sun to shine,
the rain to fall and the grass to grow in
your country

WAITING.

Waiting while the shadows gather,
And the sunlight fades away
While the tender cleaning deepens,
And the golden turns to gray
Watching while the starlight quivcrS
Brightly in the heaven above;
| am waiting for her coming
Waiting, watching for my love-
Listening for the well"known football
And the voice whose loving tone
Swee,ly bids me cease my waiting
Watching, listening for my own.
Lingering still among the shadows,
AS they deepen on the beach;
Hearts exchange in sacred stiffness
Thoughts that would be soiled by speech
Thus in perfect love and trusting,
Winged moments pass away;
Till the holy, star-crowued night is
Sweet to us as golden day.
And as tenderly the gloOmlng
Gathered on the brow of day,
God shall keep her, God shall blees her,
When Life's golden turns to gray.

the exceptional regard that is held foI

The committee consists ofthe follow
