er's death, the property TO winch
succeeded was somewhat encountered.
Your late partner was an old friend OF
ours, and he suggested that l should
obtain q situation for some few years,
leaving the property thus to clear it
self by applying the income to the ex'
tinction OF the debt. To simplify mat.
tiers, he kindly offered me apositionin
his own office at q good salary, stipu-
lating that nothing should be said or
known Of his long friendship with
our family, lest it should be thought
he might favor me. | accepted the
post. In a few years, as we planned,
my property was unencumbered, and
YOU sudden dismissal of me simply
Anticipated my W resignation by
two or three weeks. You see, Mr..
Golding, while ! give you tull creditor
having intended to injure me, | can
very readily treat with Indifference a
course of action that has ended in
failure"
AS Gilbert ceased speaking, he glanced
m%eaningly at Elinor, who, with Mrs.
Seaforth, had stood quietly by. 1t
was evidently no news to them, and
Mr.. Golding, as his gaze travelled
from one face to another, saw that
his efforts had been in vain, and that
success was hopeless.
But the whole matter wassQ utterly
unexpected that for a moment he felt
that it could not be really true. He
turned to Elinor.
"You knew of all this, it seems?"
YES" she said, but speaking III so
low a tonethat I've could scarcely catch
the words; Il knew of ALL bat it was
my fathers wish that the matter
should not be mentioned. That, OF
course, was sufficient. You would,
however, have known it before long,
tOr-for--"
She hesitated. ara cast an appeal
ing glance at Gilbert.
1--WE are to be married shortly"
said that gentleman promptly, com
plotting the sentence.
The blushing face, the downcast
eyes beside him confirmed the state
ment, if, indeed. confirmation was
needed. Mr.. Golding waited to hear
no more, but, turning short on his
heel with q muttered e~xecration, left
the room and the house.

WHAT MY V SAID.

By the merest chance, in the twilight gloom
In the orchard path he met me
In the tall wet grass, with it's faint perfume,
And / tried TO pass, but he made no room;
Oh, / tried, but he would not let me.
SO stood and blushed till the grass grew red,
With nv face bent down above it,
While he took my hand, as he whispering
said
How the clover lifted it's pink sweet head,
To listen to all that my lover said.
Oh, the clover i'm bloom. love it.
In the high wet grass went the Lath to hide,
AND the low wet leaves hung over,
But | could not pass on either side,
For | found myself, when | vainly tried,
In the arms Of my steadfast lover.
And he held me there and he raised my head,
While he closed the path before me;
And helooked down into my eyes and said
How the leaves bent down from the boughs
o'erhcad
To listen TO all that my lover said.
Oh, the leaves hanging lowly Ger me-
/ am sure thatha knew, when he held me fast,
That | must be all unwilling;
For | tried to go, and l would have passed,
As the night had come with itsdews at last,
And the sky with its stars was filling.

And he made me hear his story,
And his soul came out from his lips and
said
How the stars crept out when the white
moon fed
To listen &c all thai my lover said.
Oh, the moon and the stars is glory.
know that the grass and the leaves will
not tell,
AndImsure that the wind precious rover,
Will carry his secret so safely and well,
That no being shat ever discover
One word of the many that rapidly fell
From the eager lips OF my lover.
And the moon and the stars that looked
over
Shall never reveal what a fairy-like spell
They wove around us t at night in the dell,
In the path through thedew-laden clover;
Nor the whispers that made my heartswell
As they fell from the lips OF MY lover.

She Was Watching Bill.

1t was in the gallery OF the house.
The legislature was in session and the
railroad bill was up for discussion.
Two old country ladies edged down,
and after much wriggling got seats,
One was stout and prim. There was
a look OF defiance in her pale eyes.
Every feature seemed to be on the Of
fensive, WithQu! speaking a word,
she seemed to say from head TO foot,
ayes, lam here, and have neverb been
here before. Now, what have you got
to say about it,"
The othef was long and angular
She seemed to move in the magic cir
Gle of the visible authority exercised by
her companion. There was q meek,
accommodating look in her tired
brown eyes, and the althea snuff stick
thrust between her lips barely culver.
ed, she chewed SO gently upon it. She
did notgaze about her much, but fixed
her eyes uponthe throng OF legislators
below. Herfaded shawldrooped back,
revealing a faded calico dress, and a
battered reticule of ancient date was
clasped in her hand. "Lah, Sal,"she
suddenly exclaimed in a whisper, al
there amt our Bill downtharl" "And
why not?" said the prim lady aloud,
twisting around and facing the people
on the other side. civilian Toddle.

were fixed upon her. She reiterated:
81 say, why not? William Toddlekins
was elected to speak for Snapdcodle
county. Why shouldn't he be here?!''
The faded woman went down into her
satchel for another dip, and said:
but who'd er tho't Bill Toddlekins
would ever er got in the legislature.
What's he goin' ter do anyhow.
'Do? Why gracious alive, Mrs. Bet
tie, he's goin' ter give them railroad
men fits" Again the prim lady faced
the surrounding company and bobbed
her head defiantly.

Further conversation was shut of.
for just then Bill rose to his feet, and
combing his name more or less graceful
" with his left hand, sailed into the
railroads" He stamped, he raved, in
voked the constitution, hefoamed ov-
or 'inalienable rights" and moaned
when he spoke Of an oppressed and
down-trodden people. And every time
his good right arm sawed the air, the
prim lady bounced aroursdsend gazed

"ONE OF MY CLERKS"
From Household Words.

There was much speculation and
suppressed excitement in the Office OF
Messrs. Cragsby and Golding, Colonial
Brokers. OF Fenchurch Street. Nj.
Cragsby, for many years the senior
partnerin the firm, had just died, and
the conduct and management of af-
fairs had thus devolEed upon Mr.
Golding, who was now sole partner,
and also nephew and executor to the
deceased. The event had caused in
the Office a feeling of unanimous re-
gret
While by nature a Just man, Mr..
aragsby MD been an unusually kind
nne-so far, at Ill events, az those
Esorn ie employed we're concerned
A ma Of nigh principle and strict pro-
bity, re never made his own mp
Brightness and rectitude an excuse for

ypu couidnt help liking him. for he
would never find faRlt without a
eailse for It This necessarily ensur-
ed Iirn the respect and liking Of those
VINO Here under Lis authority.
Ana4har circumstance which added
60 hrs popularity mas the fact that
he dAl1ked making changes In the ar
r-aagauaent Of the firm. Having once
er1poyed q man and found him trust
worthy Mr. Cragsby preferred to re-
tain him, even though the salary paid
continuously increased. This gave a
feeIingof security to clerks and ware
housemen which remained undisturb-
"a till the death Of the chief rudely
awakened them, when they remember
ed how different we're the views and
opinions Of the junior partner, who
would now hold ~undisputed sway.
For Mr.. Golding was accustomed TO
rate his social interiors by a very diff
f6rentscaie. Each, in bis eyes had "a
market value.n That was his phrase.
Al man might have served the firm
we'll and faithfully for twenty orthirty
years, cut this, in Mr.. Golding's esti-
nation, gave him no claim to regard
or consideration.
But, as almost always happens,
there was one person with whom his
rudeness OF manner was yelled by
courtesy, his asperity softeped into
mildness, by the desire to please, and
this person was the daughter of the
late partner, and consequently his
cousin, EliDor Cragsby.
For some years, Mr.. Golding had
cherished In bis inmost heart-or per-
haps it would be better to a mind
than heart-a liking for her favorable
regard. AS yet, however, he had not
achieved any marked success, but he
was of a logged, p~ersevering nature,
and did not despair. The match
would be q very advantageous one,
for Elinor was. by her fathers death
placed in possession of a considerable
fortune, which would be OF use in ex
tending and ie@proving the business.

FIRE AT MoRRILl's CORNER.
Martin Best Loses Two Houses and
a Stable.

Mr.. Martin Best proprietor of the provis-
ion market on Free street, resides at MorrllTs
Corner, Deering, as does his bookkeeper, Mr..
Thomas Malone Their houses are at the
head of Richardson street, short street
running parallel with Central Avenue to
Evergreen Cemetery. Mr.. Best owned both
houses and stable. Shortly before twelve
o'clock yesterday Mr.. Best's house was sidfs-
covered to be on fire by the neighhbSFs all the
people living in both dwellings, being away
on visit for the day. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but supposed to be from defect
in the chimHey, the flames being first seen
on the Tfoof near the chimney.
Quickly as possible the hand engine Mag
ara was procured from Woodford's, and a
stream got on from Sebago hydrant up
wards Of e000 feet distant. Meantime all
worked with a right good will in removing
the furniture from the two houses, and it
was nearly all saved with but slight damage.
A steamer was sent from this city and Machi-
gonne No. arrived about enc o'clock. For
tunately the wind was in favorable direc-
tion as concerned neighboring buildings, and.
with plenty of water, the Niagara had the
fire under control before the arrival of Machi-
come. The fire had spread to the hedge and
dry grass of the cemetery but the steamer
quickly subdued that and also what was left
of the flames on the two houses and stable.
The structures were all levelled to the ground
and the loss on buildings was total. Mr..
Best's house was a neat story and-a-half
dwelling, and that occupied by Malone of
similar size. The stable was a good one.
The loss ON buildings was estimated at $500,
upon which there was insurance to the
amount of 5000.

paneero,,s BAKING Powders.

Too much care cannot be used in the selec-
ZION OF baking powder, where there are 80
many brands freely advertised that are dele
FERROUS to health. Some contain cream OIL
tartar, the use of which is condemned by
many, ard of which the late Dr. Samuel
jackson, Professor of Medicine in the
University of Pennsylvania, said; 1T is not
nutritive principle, and often disagrees
with the alimentary organs" The use OF
alum in Baking Powders has been severely
criticised by eminent authority. There IS one
process for the manufacture of baking
powder that has received the hearty COM
mendation of every scientist who has exam
ined it. We refer to that of Prof. Horsford,
by which the well-known Horsford's Bread
Preparation is made. The only baking
powder in the world which leaves nutritive
qualities in the bread, biscuit, etc., is made
by Pref. Horsford's process. This valuable
quality is due to the presence of the nutri-
tious and strengthening phosphates con-
tanned in the product. The white and fine
flour in ordinary use is deprived of large
portion of the phosphates of the wheat by
the process of betting. The value of the
phosphate of lime to the human system is
everywhere acknowledged by the highest
scientific authorities. This substance is
found in wheat and other cereals, and con-
stitutes the vital or nutritive element
therein. Indeed it is the essential and vital
izing constituent of all grains. If grains are
deprived of their phosphates through the
process of boiling, their DEMONSTRATING prop
critics are withdrawn ii the same proper
ton. Prof. Doremus, of the Bellevue Med
sllcaaf College, N. Y, says: Unless a phos-
phate form one of the ingredients of bak-
ing powder, there is no residue left of nutri-
| tive value"

Mr.. Clifford has evidently been studying

getting his language down to the level of the

his choicest mots:
He apostrophized Mr.. Blaine as "YOU
DEAR, DELICIOUS OLD HUMBUGri
and again, as representative of the Repub-
lican party, You dishonest old cuss; you've
turned out to be drunkard and gambler -
Speaking of the tax the laboring man has
to pay on commodities in consequence of the
tariff, he inquired, WHAT IN THUNDER
do you care where it goes to so long as you
have to pay it?"
Once he descended to the sacreligious. He
accused the Republican party of appropriat-
ing hundreds of millions of money for
navy, but where the money went" he said,
GOD ONLY KNOWS AND HE WON'T
TELL"
Towards the end rof his speech he evil
IDENTIFY began to fear that he was not making
himself sufficiently familiar, so he addressed
his audience as you FELLERS WHO

Perhaps the funniest things in his speech
were his frequent references to Mr.. Reed as
''Reed, the aristocrat."
