John and the Lawyer.

Among the men Of the revolution no
one was more respected for his honesty
and good sense than Rodger Sherman,
OF Connecticut. Courts and juries de-
ferred to him, and from all parts Of the
State clien:s sought his advice. One
morning q farmer, who was far from
quickwitted, dropped in 10 see him.
When his turn came, Mr.. Sherman
greeted him cordially, and said:
"Well, John, what can i do for you
this moruingf"
why, lawyer" was tbs answer. 81
happened TO be 10 town and thought I'D
call and get an opinion"
state your case, sir; what's the mat
terp"
II ain't got lawsuit. / only want
one Of your opinions. They are said to
be valuable"
Mr.. Sherman saw into the character
Of his visitor, and writing few words
on slip Of paper handed II TO him and
charged seventy-fye cents for the ad-
vice. John, proud Of his success, hur-
ried home to his wife TO boast Of IL. He
found her In discussion with the hired
man about a field Of oats which had
been cut the day before. lie was anx-
ious to do some other work, while she
was advising him to get in the oats.
She was full Of energy, anc much more
capable than was her husband.
"well, Johr," she sald, "what shall
we do about the oatsf"
"Read the lawyers opinion, "said he,
and prod his treasure. at cost me
seveuty-fiye cents"
She read II: "Never put OF till to-
morrow what can be done to-day"
Enough said" cried John; "them
oats must be got In"
A heavy rain which came that night
would have injured the oats badly IL
they had been Ieft out In the field. John
always gave Mr.. Sherman the credit OF
saving bis oats, and beld him in highest
esteem as man Of wonderful wisdom
and forecast.

In Daisy's hand he put programme,
and she wonderingly read Of the musi.
ca treat In store for her. only vaguely
comprehending It all. On every side
the buzz OF conversation bore the name
Of the great l., the famous vlolinist,
whose Cremons seemed gifted with
speech under the touch Of his inspired
fingers.
1t was like dream. A whlte-robed
lady came upon the platform and sang,
a gentleman played upon the piano.
Then there was great noise Of people
clapping their hands aud stamping with
their feet, fairly bewildering poor soun-
try-bred Daisy.
A great hush, and softly, familiar as
a mothers voice, there fell upon Daisy's
ear the NOES Of violin, bearing ou,
upon the air the melody Of "Reuben's
Carnival Of the Birds"
She looked up then and met the soft,
dark eyes Of her lover watching her face
as he drew his bow across the strings.
Not sound but the music of the won
drous violin broke the stiffness Of the
vast room, where one mans genius kept
the crowd spell-bound.
1t was over, and the great violinist
bowed and Was gone. Again the deaf
ening, tumultuous applause, and Reu-
ben was back again, playing an air un.
familiar TO Daisy, but seeming TO an
swer all the deep Joy of her soul.
Twice Reuben played, recalled each
time, and then the concert was over,
and their escort led Uncle Josiah back
to the carriage, Daisy clinging fast TO
his arm. At the door OF their private
parlor the new friend bsde them good
night, and opening the door they stood
face to face with Reuben. Not the pale,
SD boy Of a year ago. but man, self
reliant, glad aud noble, one who had
found his life-work AMI was doing II
well.
Uncle Josiah found the strap Of his
glove most unmanageable while Reuben
clasped Daisy in his arms, and low,
tender words fell from the lips Of both.
But when Reuben, clasping Daisy
still, held out his hand, the farmer
grasped 1t hard.
II don't doubt was an old fool, Reu-
ben I" he said, "but I'm not too old to
learn"
And Reuben, over the dainty supper
that was presently served. told them
how lis violin had won him fame aud
gold-more than Uncle Josiah had i'm
agined one man could earn In ten years.

said.
And Uncle Josiah, with inward mis-
givings about the boy, yielded to Daisy :
pleading face aud consented TO the ar
rangement.

tense bappiness, with three OF the con-
certs where Daisy's heart was divided

HENRY TARLEToN, of Louisville, a drummer,
has had an experience not often undergone by
men of his class. He came off his rum on
Wednesday and made his way home There he
found all the shutters closed and fastened. Pry-
ing one open, he found his family and every
particle of furniture gone. Gaining entrance,
he found on the floor the following note, which
for cold impudence and heartlessness is not of
ten equaled
Henry: am gone with an old lover and you
will never hear from me again. The life we
have lived has never been satisfactory, so bid
you good bye forever The children will never
know you when grown, so you need not trouble
about Them or EMMA"
Inquiry revealed that his furniture had been
sold to a secondhand dealer and the woman had
left for parts unknown. Tarleton knows no
man that she was likely to have eloped with,
and, of course, is greatly distressed, especially
concerning his children. It were safe to wager
that the impudent and tickle woman will be
back inside thirty days, heartily ashamed and
anxious to be forgiven.
