The Thrilling Story of an Abstruse Boston
Gas Meter.

Gas Meter.
Boston Courier.
He was trying to sell the stranger his house
and lot, and after the prospective purchaser
had wandered through the attic, and nosed
around the kitchen, and poked into the clos
cts, and ratified the windows TO see if they
were tight, and smeled of the cistern water
to see how much dead cat it would assay to
the gallon, the owner OF the property took
him down into the cellar, which he had spent
all night in whtewashing. The meter
which was stuck up on shelf in one corner
of the cellar, attracted the strangers atten-
ton.
How much does your gas cost you a
year?' asked he
The householder gave a knowing wink,
poked the stranger in the ribs and said:
You don't look like man who would
give the thing away, and seeing as you're 60
ing to buy the house anyway don't mind
telling you. 1t don't cost me a cent"
1t don't?n said the stranger with evident
surprise.
NO, not a red" said the other, land it's
all owing to little observation on my part
as to the workings of the meter there. I'll
explain. You see, when | first moved into the
house l was doing good business, and so I
had everything fixed up in tony style
chandeliers in every room in the house,
kitchen included, and other luxuries to cor
respond. But after awhile my business be-
gan to run down, and L had to shut down
OH expenses My wife suggested that we
economize on the gas bill; so |
bought lot of lamps, and we stopped
using the gas-burners, except in
the parlor when we had company. When
the man with the lantern came around to
look at the meter L fairly kicked myself
with JOY to think how it would astonish
| him. But it didn't.
The bill for that month was just as big as
it was the month before, and when l
squealed, there was the meter to back them
up couldn't get around that. Well, next
month / thought I'd experiment So put
the lamps away in the garrett, and used
every gas-burner in the house. Kept two
chandeliers in the bed rooms going day and
night just for luck. Bill for that month just
the same. Then l thought | might as
well be getting all the good out OF that meter
that 1t would stand, so told the gas COM

The soft winds areawake;
They sigh and moan both day and night.
The vanes point coward the south.
Whence comes the breath of spring:
o, poor heart. thou shoud'st not fear,
For ALL all things must change.
Tho world grows fairer every day:
We cannot guess what time may bring,
But we know that flowers come with spring,
And that fields aud hills are green in May.
Then, o, poor heart! forget thy pain,
For all, all things will change.
Green fields, violcts blue,
Lark's warble blacsbird's whistle,
Sunny rain and softest airs.
Why should sing my poor songs,
When all these praise thee,
Sweet spring day2
o, lay me not in The dark grave,
with clods of cold earth DER me;
When cease to be,
Lay me in the rustling grass
wish to lie mid grass and flowers,
While the flute sounds from afar;
While through the quiet, sunny hours,
The white clouds drift above me.
Why fear you, heart, in days like these,
When even the thOrns bear roses2

o'Connel's Duel with D'Esterrc,

Talk with a Aian Who Knew O'Connell.
DEsterre had been British naval officer
of Irish blood. He was Il brave man. but
something OF Il bully, like naval officers in
general. O'Connell made a speech, referring
to the beggarly corporation Of Dublin, mean
ing the City Council, in which d Esterre was
a member D. Esterre was an intense Protest
ant. He announced that he would horse
whip O'Connell, who kept out OF his way UNI
til ID Esterre opened correspondence with
him. AT that time OConnel had six children.
Disappointed in having street fight and q
horse-whipping, ID Esterro CHALLENGED and
O'Connell accepted. The parties met thirteen
miles from Dublin, at ) o'clock in the after,
noon, after n snow-storm. D'Esterre fired
first and missed. OConnell shot his au-
tagonist in the groin, an inch below the hip,
and the ball traverscd the hip, passed
throug the bladder, and probably touched
the spine. O'Connell was very much dis
tressed at the result OF the duel, and PEN
stoned the widow and daughter lie was not
prosecuted.

The Price of vanquishing the Queens Fa

C. W. S. in New York Tribune.
A servants ball was given some years
since at Balmoral guests and members of
the royal household as the custom is on such
occasions, taking part Among the dances
was some sort OF competitive Highland reel
wherein the object of each performer is to
dance down all the rest; to which end it is
permitted to any one to disconcert and even
totally upset a rival by an adroit twist of the
hip, the elbow perhaps assisting. Now John
Brown was proficient in this sport and it
was his wont to carry off the palm and out
last all adversaries; TO the great contentment
of the Queen, who looked on. But there
CHANGED upon this occasion to be present
n certain gentleman skillful at this dancing
business, and cunning wthal. He watched
his chance. and when ali but himself and tile
faithful John Brown had Quilted or been
driven from the floor, by sudden but quite
lawful stratagem overthrow the Queens
favorite, who fell at her feet and SO was
baked of the distinction of victory on which
he and his sovereign alike had set their
hearts. The victor paid dearly for his
triumph. Before this little incident he had
been high in the favor of his royal mistress;
used to be sent Tor OF an evening to the royal
apartment, where talk and music were to be
had, and enjoyed the marks Of the Queens
esteem But after he had thus presumed to
vanquish Her Majesty's chosen personal at
tendant, this unhappy gentleman languished
in the outer courts of the palace, and not for
more than two years afterward was he fully
restored TO favor.

asked many questions. He had kept one of

Young mans lids fell down over his ewes
Then the General seeing no more was to he
gained from him, generously sent him to bed
But bed for the General that night meant
nothing less than torment
Something had happened to wake within
him memories OF a past, now three years old.
He had not been General Steyne them but Il
colonel, and life at that time had shown him
its sweetest and its bitterest Sides He had
been wrong then-he knows that now-he
had been wrong, indeed, all through, but
only discovered his error when too late. And
last night-a few hours ago-a little baby
face. tiny, rosy-tinged thing, framed in a
glory of hair, yellow as uncut corn, had
raised within him demon of remorse and
longing that will not be laid.
This morning breakfast was a mockery to
him, so unnerved is he by his long vigil He
tdgits secretly, while the others eat their
kidney and toast and laugh over last nights
proceedings; and when decency allows he
rises, and finding hat walks quickly down
the stone steps at Claremont, and turns
eagerly in the direction that leads to The

The past week has been an usually

they can now get up their hay, grain

the recent rains. The corn looks well,
all the late planting making q good
crop and the early taking d second
growth since the wet weather, and is
making much larger crop than was
expected. Sugar cane and broom
