sHRLLISo PEAS.
BY AN oLp c.ssTa1RuroR


I'm no louger young and fair,
And the gray within nay hair,
With my anxious brow of care
Well agrees;
And memory holds hex sway,
Az sit alone to day,
Doing work that seems like play
Smelling peas
How the aiming pods of green,
With their emeraids set between.
Bear me back to sweet sixteen
And its VS.,
When beneath Penos5ac6t pines.
We stripped well theDuitful mes,
To be offered ct home shrines.
Girls and boys
And we'll remember. too.
Wheu bash full swain did WOO,
That he seemed asYIfers do.
I'll at ease,
Till dear mother. W th smile,
And a manner void Of guile.
set Us both to w0rG the while
Smelling pess.
Then our busy hands became
More acquainted, and the shame
Turned to something else in name
What you please
While the tender pods they popped"
And the pretty peas they hoped.
Till the last came. taen we stopped
Shelling peas.
Then mother would declare
That she heard a sound somewhere
On the earth. or In the air. -
Like kiss;
When, demure as he could be,
John would say, and look at me.
""Twas the 'poppiug' of pea.
Only this"
That was years and years ago.
When the days brought not woe
To my rosy life below,
Full of ease.
Ayel memory holds her sway,
Al sit alone to-day,
Doing work that seems like play
Sheltipg peas.

How Sam Trained His Wife.

In a Boston restaurant, at dinner, re.
Gently, sat man from Cambridge, who
was q native of New Hampshire. Meet.
ing an old acquaintance from that indef
mite section known as "down east" the
conversation soon turned on family
topics, and the pair began to talk about
their neighbors in most familiar way.
"Yes," remarked the Cambridge gen.
tleman, "Sam was in many respects diff
ferent from the rest of the boys. You
remember who he married? Well, when
the old man, his father, found that he
was shirin' round with her, he called
him one day in the barn and said, Sam,
dye intend to marry Becker Sam never
said word, so the old nau said: Me
boy, we know all about them. can't
tell ye nothiI'. Ye know how the sisters
has turned out, and not one of them is
now ivin' with their husbands Sam
was as mum as pantomine, and, Just as
soon as he was ready, him and Beckie
got tied. They lived on a farm, and
everything went on smooth for about q
year, and it came to hog butcherin'
time. Sam got all ready to have the
usual party for the occasion, and just as
he was sharpenin' up the knives, Beckie
came out and said: Sam, I'm goin'
home Sam protested in his quiet way,
but it was no use, so he said he'd get q
man to row her across the pond. It was
about half mile over. She said: No.
| ye won't; yell row me over yerselfp Sam
told her he couldn't and Beckie fired up
and said: 'Then1l I'll drown meself.
Sam said he'd go with her if she wanted
to do that. so the boat was got ready she
| got in, and they rowed out till the water
was twenty feet deep. Then Sam stopped
and said: Well, Beckie, this is a good
place for We tc drown yerself!' She did
not open her mouth. He waited awhile
and then said: 'Beckie, I'm in hurry
to get back She never looked up. Sam
put down the oars, caught hold of he,
and pitched her in. She grabbed for the
] boat, but he wouldn't let her get near it
When she was almost done ont she said
Sam, let me in that boat and yell no
hear anything more from me out O. ths
way So he pulled her in and they wen
back home. She changed her clothes ane
entertained the guests. They're nov
nearly so, and you never saw happiel
old couple-did yon? I don't Think the,
ever spoke of that duckin' since the da,
she was goin' to drown herself"

THE PROFESSORS STORY.

Taking tea the other evening with an
old. acquaintance, now professor in q
New England college, the conversation
recalled some of the friends of our
younger days, and he surprised me with
the remark: "a woman's sympathies lie
nearer her heart than her love, unless her
love is born of them" But he surprised
me more by the story he told to prove
it.

LAWSUIT OF A LIFETIME.-On the Sd
of May Judge Billings, of New Orleans.
rendered an opinion in the case of Mrs.
Myra Clark Gaines against the city of
New Orleans, on an exception to the re-
ports of the Master in Chancery The
report of the Master is confirmed and in
terest is added. Mrs. Gaines gets judg-
ment against the city for So .925, ,667. of
which $3.50, ,707 is interest. Commenting
on the judgment. the New York Tribune
says: Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines is to be
congratulated. After lifetime chiefly
devoted to litigation, she has won an
other success against the city of New Or
leans in her suit for nearly $4,000, 900.
The municipality, however, has not yet
exhausted its resources for defense, as
the case is to be appealed to the United
States supreme court. Mrs. Gaines, We
fear, will have to depend on posterity to
collect the claim.

Those Egyptian Diamonds.

DO you know, asks correspondence
of the Philadelphia Press, what has be-
come of the peck OF diamonds that was
presented to Miss Sherman, now Mrs.
Fitch, by the khedive OF Egypt several
years ago, when General Sherman and
his daughter visited the glorious east?
You may remember the then khedive
was one of the wiSeSt and beSt-infOrm-
ed rulers of the world and he watched
our civil war with the eye ola soldier
and statesman. Therefore he knew
Sherman, the simple, modest old sol
der, and knew what was in him and
what he had done. The Khedive paid
old warrior unprecedented attention,
and, to more properly show his liking
for him, the ruler of Egypt sent the
warriors daughter diamonds enough
to decorate queens drawing room.
What has become of them? | will
tell you. They were for years kept
'UckCd up in the custom house or some
other safe place until they became
nuisance 10 everybody. Mrs Fitch
could not wear them, because they were
more snowy than any other lady in the
United States could produce, and, be-
sides, they invited thieves and robbers.
But, above all, the Shermams took no
pride in them. The Sherman family
is not diamond family. They are by
no means poor, bat they hate display,
and do not care to masquerade IN dia-
mOnds. They stand on their own fami-
lies-the Shermans and the Ewings-
and they are worth all the diamonds OF
the world. But | started to tell you
what had become of the diamonds, aud
| will resume. After many years OF
anxiety and annoyance to the family,
not knowing what to do with them,
the diamonds were sent to brittany. The
stones were taken from their crude
Egyptian setting and examined. Many
