He Was a Singer.

The clocks had Just struck midnight
when the residents of two or three
squares on Antoine Street heard wild
voice singing:
'Will / be missed when l am gone?
Will tears be shed for me?
When go hence will grave suspense
BE felt on land and sea?'
One citizen raised his window and
advised the singer to take in his voice
before club hit it, Another snapped
revolver at him. A third said he
would come down and make him sing a
different tune, and those who didn't get
out of bed were too mad to 90 to sleep
for the next hour. And the singer
leaned against hydrant and con-
tinued:
my love, she lives in Savannah,
And she wipes her nose on a bandana,
And she calls me her Joe,
Because, don't you know,
l call her my ducky dear Hannah"
This was too much. Three different
citizens issued from their doors to pull
verize the midnight intruder, but just
then policeman awoke from his beau
tiful dreams and turned the corner and
said:
"Stop that or down you go!'
'1s singing against the lawP"
"It is"
81 don't believe it! l will now give
you gem from my repertoire:
"ol many a time feel so sad,
"Shut up''
81 won'tm
"Then come along!"
There was struggle, and the snow
was kicked over the fences in clouds,
but the law triumphed and the singer
was led away and locked up. He was
forlorn sight as he appeared before
his Honor, having his coat split up the
back and the snow having scarcely
melted out of his hair yet.
''Is this Thomas SaundersP" asked
the court.
Eyes, sir; this is all that is left of the
gentleman by that name"
"And yon disturbed the peace?"
"Well, sir, 1 felt moody and low
spirited and / arose from my bed and
walked and sang. Longfellow used to
do the same thing"
eyes, but midnight is no time to go

"Screamingp Sir, 1 sing instead of

already"

Oh! where"
Bijah pressed down on him at this
moment, and the song was bitten short
off
''I'll make it thirty days." observed

''Let me sing another verse and you
can make it sixty" replied the prisoner.

"Well, I'll sing all the way up to the

Married for Fun.
JOKE THAT MISS FLORA HASTINGS DOES
NOT SEEM TO RELISH.

Miss Flora Hastings got married for
fun-or, at least, so she says in a suit
which she has brought in the Supreme
Court against her alleged husband,
James OBJ. Kelley. Miss Hastings is
not willing to admit that she is Mr..
Kelley's wife, therefore she brings her
suit as one alleged to be Flora A. Kelley.
From the complaint in the case it ap-
pears that in October, 1882, Miss Hast
ings was either visiting or residing at
Allegheny Station, Va. At this time
she was but seventeen years of age, and
Kelley, with whom she became ac-
quainted, was only eighteen. She says
that on the 9th of October of that year
she went to the railway station intend-
ing to leave for home. While she was
standing on tine platform Kelley, who
was with her, suggested that if she
would go through a marriage ceremony
with him he would always regard it as a
joke, and would never under any cir
cumstances make any claim that she
was legally his wife. Regarding the
matter as a good joke, Miss Hastings
says that she gave her consent, where
upon a marriage ceremony was gone
through with, how or by whom per-
formed the papers do not disclose.
Without further delay Miss Hastings
says she proceeded on her journey, the
defendant remaining at hisVirginia home
She declares that the affair has always
been regarded by her as a joke and that
in fact she never saw Kelley afterward
until last June, when she returned
to Allegheny Station. During her
absence, as she further AYERS,
Kelley never made any claim that she
was his wife, although he knew per-
fectly well where she was. Last June,
however, when she arrived at Allegheny
again Kelley claimed her as his lawful
wife. She says that she has never lived
with him, that he never supported her,
and she verify believes the so-called
''ioke" was merely trick on his part to
make her his wife, Notwithstanding the
fact that she never intended to enter
into a marriage contract with him. To
this complaint the defendant has made
no answer

MARJORY MAY.

Marjory May came tripping from town,
Fresh as pink in her trim white gown,
A picture was Marjory, slim and fair,
With her large sun-hat and her sunlit hair;
And down the green lane where chanced to
stray
Imet, by accident, MarjOry May.
Marjory May had come out for stroll.
Past the gray church and round by the toll,
Perhaps by the wood and the wishing-stone,
There was sweet Marjory tripping alone.
MAY 1 come too? ? now don't say me nay"
Gust as you please, laughed Marjory May.
So it fell out that we went on alone,
Round by the wood and the wishing-stone;
And where whispered the wish Of my life
Wished that sweet Marjory May were my wife,
''For love you so dear. Is it aye or nay?
Come, answer me quickly, sweet Mariory May :"
Marjory stood not a word did she speak.
Only the red blood flushed in her cheek;
Then she looked up with grave, sweet smile
(The flush dying out of her face the while),
81 like you so much, but not in that way,
And then there is John, said Marjory May.
Years have rolled on since that fair summers
day,
Still I'm bachelor, old and gray.
Whenever take my lonely stroll
Round by the wood, and back by the toll,
pass by the house where her children play;
For John has married sweet Marjory May.

A COunty's Murder Record.

The county of Fairfield, in the State
of Connecticut, is remarkable for the
three peculiarly shocking murders that
have been committed within its borders
in the last eight years. The first on the
record is that of a man named Latin,
who, having betrayed a working girl
under promise of marriage, and, being
threatened by her with arrest, induced
her to meet him one evening in a lonely
spot beside a stream only few inches
deep, and deliberately held her face
under the water until she was drowned.
He was the first prisoner who availed
himself of new law allowing the ac-
cused person, if he chose, to be tried by
two judges instead of a jury. Judges
Sanford and Beaseley found him guilty
of murder in the second degree, and
sentenced him to imprisonment for life.
William Bucholtz was the next person
accused of a terrible murder in Fairfield
county. He engaged himself as servant
to an old farmer, who had the eccentric
habit of carrying about 100000 in a
belt around his waist. Bucholtz, who
accepted small salary, agreed always
to walk behind the farmer and never
beside him. He also stipulated not to
resist when his master saw fit to kick and
cuff him. One evening the farmer, re-
turning from New York, gave Bucholtz,
who met him at the station, a new ak
and two bricks, and telling him to fol-
low at a respectful distance, started
across a lonely country FOR his home. He
never reached it. Whether the bricks
were returned Is not known, but the
blade of the ak was buried in the farm
er's head. He was dead when assistance
arrived. and Bucholtz said he and his
employer had been attacked by tramps,
but the money was found buried under
a barn, and the crime was clearly traced
to the servant. After two trials jury
found him guilty of murderin the second
degree, and he was sent to join Latin in
the prison at Wethersfeld.
The two cases referred to were tried
in the County Court House at Bridge
port. In both instances the guilt of the
prisoners was established beyond rea-
sonable doubt, and they owed their
escape from the gallows to a Connecticut
law allowing the judges or the jury, as
the case may be, to return verdict of
murder in the second degree when, in
their judgment, the circumstantial evil
dence is less strong than the testimony
of two eye-witnesses Of the crime.

ALLAN'S TEMPTATION.
BY ESTHER sERLE KENNETH.

w nat q Spl6uulu view how hluu
you were to bring me up here, Allan y
A grim, rocky region in the early
spring; yet below, a graceful, steel-blue
river, bound by verdant pines, and a
stately gray house among its terraces
upon the banks. The house was pecu-
liar in its architecture, as well as its sol
itude; and Innocence Adair's blue eyes,
after wandering over the landscape,
came back to it.
''That is a handsome place p
Her companion, handsome, stalwart
fellow, in a miners suit, seemed averse
to replying. But his grave glace grew
gloomy to severity.
"Doyou know who lives there, Allan?"
The young man spoke with reluct-
ance:
''No one at present, believe"
After moment, he added:
''It is the Earle Place"
The girl looked up at her companion
quickly.
"Our landlady told me its history
yesterday" she said. Chow the owner,
General Earle, died there, last fall; that
his only child had married against his
will; that he received her child when
she died, yet always hated the father,
who was never allowed to see the boy,
who grew up quite perfect; yet his
grandfather quarreled with him on his
dying bed, and left his beautiful estate
to the daughter of a brother, whom he
had not seen since infancy"
The young mans grave, blonde face
was a study in its play of emotions as he
looked at the girl.
''Did she tell you what the quarrel
was about?"
''She did not know"
Allan Fairlie spoke slowly:
1.-THE father was a good, but unfortu-
nate man. He gave up the boy with
reluctance, at the prayer of his dying
wife. He deprived himself of his child's
love; through all his humble but upright
life he lived solitary. But when the
son was of age, he made himself known
to him. The two men came to love each
other. The grandfather had never shown
affection for the boy, whose heart starved
in his breast through all his youth for a
little love-"
Allan Fairlie paused; then went on
again:
''His father had been a miner in his
youth. He returned to a superior
branch of it in his old age, and sta
toned himself near his boy. There was
no hope that the grandfather would re-
lent, but this made the two dearer to
each other. Then came the old mans
long, last sickness. He called his grand |
son, and bidding him repudiate his
fathers name, and take his, informed |
him that he had made him his sole heir. |
The young man replied, In every other
way 1 have tried to please you, grand
father, but this I cannot do The old |
man may have had some suspicious. He |
did not name them, but his anger was
terrible He turned the grandson he
had never before had cause to repri-
mand out of the house."
'Do you know what he did then ?"
''Joined his father, went into the
mines, and worked with him..
"He was very brave. The grand
father was unreasonable, cruel"
The young man hurried away from
the rock against which he had been
leaning.
''Perhaps he came to something of
that belief, for codicil was added to
the will, bequeathing Riverside to him
in case Of his cousins death. But come,
Innocence-it is going to rain; you can
not sketch here to-day" !
