James Parton's Family.

James Parton has two children, one of
them boy. but they have come late.
His first wife was Mrs. Sara Willis Ell
dredge; Fanny Fern, with whom he led
a rather inharmonious life, as any one
might imagine who knew that way
ward, whimsical woman, eleven years
his senior. His second wife was her
daughter, and as they were married in
Newburyport. he was distressed to learn
afte-ward that the marriage was illegal
by the laws of Massachusetts,. No one
had any idea of its existence; but some
discovered the unpleasant fact. Parton
had lived most of his life here, and no
New York enactment hinders any man
from wedding his deceased wife's daugh-
ter if he be so inclined. Indeed, it is a
thing not likely to happen, and would
not have happened in this case save for
o rare combination of circumstances
He had adopted little girl, daughter of
Mortimer Thompson Doesticks), and
the sister of his present wife, who had
kept house for Parton and taken care of
the child. Parton, who is entirely do
mestic by nature. is happy in his Sec
ond union, and enjoys his family ex-
ceedingly. He also enjoys the tran
quillity of the old town on the Merrimac,
which is the antipodes of the modern
Babylon on the Hudson. Whether Hugo
Parton, bright little fellow, will take
to literature when he has grown up can
not be told.-Cor. Chicago Times.

Grace Darling's Only Sis ter.

Grace Darling's only sister died re-
Gently in her little home under the
shadow of scarborough castle, within
sound of the wild waves that beat
against Holy island and the rock that
wrecked the Forfarshire. The simple
and pious old lady to the last, like the
heroine herself could not understand
why so much had been said about the
plain act of duty which made the family
name immortal. She has been laid in
the seaside churchyard, close to the sis
tet who died SO young forty years ago,
and whose marble effigy lies in the sea
wind and sun, with her oar upon the
folded arm. A gray stone wall divides
the thin grass of the holy ground from
the bleached and pallid growth of the
sand dunes. For the dark and strong
basalt of this Northumbrian coast,
into which is built the tremendous pile
of the castle, is everywhere heaped with
the sands of many storms. If ever
there was "wide-watered shore" "
straight out of Milton's visionary mind,
it is this.-New York Home Journal.
