He worked his wifc-a good, patient
woman-to death upon his plantation.
On her death bed, when too late, his
eyes were opened to the great wrong
he had done. and he begged her for
giveness.
ut is easy enough for me to forgive, {"
she gasped, ''but my forgiveness will
not cause your coming punishment to
be lessened. feel that you are going
to be punished ON this earth.' She
turned her face away from him and
died.
The Colonel's season of grief was not
long. He soon put on his best clothes
and showed himself at hog killings and
other places of amusement His friends
were shocked, but said nothing. Soon
there came into the neighborhood a
graceful woman, Antoinctte Polworth.
The Colonel met her and was charmed.
He called ON her. She received him
kindly and eventually they were mar
ried.
Six months of almost unbroken hap
piness flew away, but now the Colonel's
face sometimes wore an anxious ex.
preston. His wife was not SO fair as
she had been, and the Colonel had dis
covered that the waving hair which he
had SO much admired was sometimes ut
night hung on corner of the MANTLE
piece. He found, also, that he had been
deceived in other ways, and the spirit Of
revenge arose in his injured breast.
"Antoinette." tho Colonel one day
remarked in voice which had lost
much of its wonted gentleness, Caro-
line is i'll, to-day, and l want you to go

not afford to see the loom idle.''
"Well, then, don't look at it," An.
toinette carelessly replied.
The Colonel nibbled his lip and stern.
ly said:
"Woman, want no foolishncss.
''Don't have it then"
II won't. Go out there and weave.
or you'll feel the ungcntle force OF
retributive authority"
Antoinette laughed. Tho Colonel
took hold of her nose and gave it turn
as if he would unscrcw it. Antoinette
put aside n stocking she had been darn
ing, knocked the Colonel down with q
lightning like slap, put one foot under
him, threw him across the room, sat
down and resumed her peaceful occupa-
ton. After while the Colonel sat up
and looked Mt her in astonishment.
''Antoinette." he feebly said.
"What, dcar?"
"You needn't weave"
''rhank you, dear"
"You have convinced me that a wo-
man should have few rights, but, say,
how did You do it? Where did You ac-
quire the facts which you have Just en-
bodied into such an unanswerablc argu-
ment?''
Colonel" she replied, pardon me
for not sooner telling you. For many
years l was the cannon-ball woman and
the iron-jawed maiden in the circus.
Don't get excited, dear. shall not give
you another exhibition until you attempt
to get divorce from me. Then will
take you up in my teeth and shake
you."
The Colonel went out, leaned on a
horse block and groaned. His first
wife's prediction was verified..-ArEan-

A very good specimen of the book
plate Of George Washington may be
found in the collection OF Mr.. Charles
C. Moraau Of New York It appears in
the books Of the Washington family
for several generations and was evi-
IDENTITY an importation of John Wash
ington in 1867. 1t will be noted that
the crest of this plate served as sug-
gesti0n for the nation shield and flag.
Mr.. Hutton, who is very good author
ity in these matters, states that some
ten years ago number of volumes,
purporting to belong to the private Ii
brary of Gen. Washington at Mount
Vernon and containg the oOk.plates.
were sold in Philadelphia, but that it
is believed that neither the books nor
plates were genuine. By this it ap-
pears that book-plates by no means es-
tablish with certainty tho ownership of
the volumes in which they are found.
The plate Of Josiah Quincy is . black
shield containing seven diamonds,
surmOunted by white plume and
fringod at the sides in rather rae
coon fashion. That Of Daniel Webster
consists Of diag0nally banded heart,
pierced by an arrow and emhellished
by number Of somewhat ferocious
heads. The animal surmounting the
design is evidently making . speech,
taking for his text the subjoined mot
to, Vera pro Gartis." Edward Ev-
erctt's book-plate is as decorus. and
formal "a was its owners oratory. Tho
impish creature ON tho top Of tho shield
however, Is an incongruity. as he ap-
pears to BIO .'talking back" at some
body in very undignitied manner.

But, dopthor, ye have come so far,

For the peace Of Peters mind, the
doctor now took. small quantity Of
sugar from . phisl, and placed it upon
the dying mans tongue just as he was
drawing his last breath.
Peter, seeing his friends head drop

eyes, and said. half in a whisper, "Oh,

The custom Of using book-plates Or
"Ex-Libris," as the French more ap-
propriately call them, began almost
with tho printing books. They have
been moro or less in vogue among a
limited class during the intervening
three centuries and more. New York
ers have not heretofore taken vast
interest in the subjects, but they are
now beginning to awaken to its impor-
tance. There has recently appeared
very decided indications of a renais-
sance of the book-plate in that vicinity.
The movement already amounts to q
craze among the bibilophiles. It is
very likely to become general among
the lovers Of books. Mr.. Laurence
Hutton has been adding fuel to the
flames by contributing to the Book
Buyer series of interesting articles, il
lustrated by fac-aimilcs, some of which
arc here reproduced. Tho members
Of tho literary clubs have been agita-
ting the matter. Many OF them have
already supplied themselves with
plates, and are diligently pasting them
on the covers Of their books. Others
arc endeavoring to conjure up apt and
appropriate designs, or are ransacking
old volumes on heraldry for something
that will serve as suggestion. It is a
very taking mania with those who pos
sess private libraries, and the engrav-
ers are in increasing demand.
The numerous class Of people who
have o weakness for COLLECTING" are
also turning their attention to the sub.
ject. Bookplates have for many years
been the object Of special solicitude on
the part of tho bibliophiles of England
and France. Mr. j. j. Howard, oi
Dartmouth. England, is credited with
having collected during the last forty
years over 10000 specimens of all ages
and nationalitics. He is rivalled, il
not surpassed, by some of tho cont.
mental collectors. But in this country
heretofore comparatively fcw collect
Ors Of curiOs have given any atten.
tiOn to the subject. Mr.. James Eddy
Mauran, Of Newport, who has gathered
some $500 specimens, and Mr.. Rich
ard G. Lichtenstein, Of Boston, who
possesses some 5000 examples, arc thu
most notable. Recent reports, however
show that there are now q score or
two collectors, and the ranks are re-
ceiying frequent accessions. Tht
market price OF all bookplates. wheth
er American or foreign, is rapidly i'm
proving, and at the secondhand bool
stores sharp lookout is kept fol
stray specimens.
