Summer before last John r. Mclean, of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, was walking rap
idly with a friend along Twenty-ninth
Street in New York. At the corner OF
Fourth Avenue he saw q very ..hard-up
looking Hibernian standing on the oppo-
site corner gazing listlessly into vacancy.
Watch me surprise this old fellow" said
he TO his friend. "Look right into his face
and see if it won't be q study" A second
later they were abreast the old chap, when
John pulled a silver coin out of his pocket
and said, as he thrust it into the old mans
hand: "Here's that quarter that l owed
YOU. New don't go round any more tell
ing people don't pay my debts. 1 always
speak well of you and you have no reason
to do otherwise by me-" He was amazed
at the unlooked-for kindness, and then as
its purport dawned on him ne raised his
tattered hat, and said, "GOdb bless yer oner,
ri niver say another word agin you, but
land here his eyes twinkled merrily) are
We sure it wasn't a half yez owed me?'
The friend roared, and, as Mclean red
dened to the roots of his hair, exclaimed,
''Oh, pay the man in full. Don't try to
beat him out of a quarter" The Irish
man got two halves in addition to his
quarter.

Then uprOSe Mr.. Hawk, Q. c., the repre-
sentative of the treasury, and in \ clear,
cold voice began his dispaSsiOnate, but all

Daisy-to whom he never referred a as
1.-THE prisoner at the bar" Briefly told, this
was his story:
The prisoner at the bar was charged with
the murder of Mr.. George Mauleyerer, IN
Australian gentleman, reputed to be of very
great wealth, and had recently settled in
England and taken up his residence at
Great Lorton Hall in this county. The
prisoner stood in the relationship Of niece
to Mr.. Mauleyerer and it was known to
his friends that it was that gentleman's in
tention to make her his sole heiress. Mr..
Mauleverer was a man inSOmewhat delicate
health. He suffered from q chronic COM
plant of the throat, and a few months be-
fore his death he had also been afflicted by
q slight epileptic seizure, which OccaSioned
some uneasineSs to himselfand his medical
adviser. In all his illness it would be
proved to the jury beyond dispute, the
prisoner at the bar had been his chief, he
might almost say his sole, attendant. She
protested to be devoted to him, and there
would be no doubt that Mr.. Mauleyerer
entertained q sincere attachment for her.
The jury, he trusted, would bear one fact
in mind to which many witnesses would
bear testimony. That was that the pris-
oner, on the occasions on which Mr.. Maui
everer suffered from illness, invariably ad-
ministered to him any medicine he might

instructions for the preparation OF a second
will. by which. in the event of her marrying
the gentleman referred to, b would re-
ceive only a comparatively small legacy,
while the rest of his estate would be deyo-
ted to charitable purposes. h will had
not been signed ut the time of Mr.. Maulev-
erer's death, in consequence OF the tempo
rory absence from England of his usual
legal adviser, by whomit had been prepared.
Rnt the prisoner at the bar knew OF Its
existence, and knew further that it would
he duly executed as soon as the attorney
returned from abroad. Here, then, they
had what all must feel to be 4 strong mo-
tivefor the commission OF this crime. he
did not wish to press hardly upon the pris-
oner, whose youth and good looks were
well calculated to prepossess most persons
in her favor, But the jury had a duty to
discharge, and he could not see how, after
hearing the evidence which he was about
TO Law before them, and which would bear
ont the statement he had just made to the
fullest extent, they could lind any other
verdict than that the prisoner at the bar
was. in very truth, guilty of having will
fully murdered Mr.. George Mauleverer on
the night of October ri.
had nerved myself to listen to this ter
rible indictment of my darling without
showing by any outward sign the effect
which it might. have upon me; and up to a
certain point | had done so successfully.
But when the counsel spoke of the quarrels
between Daisy and her uncle regarding
myself, I had found it impossible to retain
nv compOsure. My agitation must have
been more visible when | heard of the I'M
signed will by which she was to be pun
ished if she married me. No mention had
been made of this document in the exam
nation before the magistrate, and | was
quite igno. ant of its existence. When
| Hawk spoke oft started visibly and look
ell at Daisy. Her face gave not the slight
est SIGN of emotion, and ] knew that the
prosecuting counsel had reason for this
declaration that Daisy was aware of the
existence of the document. But If that
was the case, how was ii that the fact had
only been publicly brought forward now?
Alas! | remembered that nor BranESome
| and Fosdyke could no longer be reckOned
on our side. 1t must have been by Eos
dyke that this fatal piece Of evidence had
been revealed.
! looked eagerly to where Belmore and
Harding sat together, anxious to Judge if
could from their faces what effect Hawks
statement had made upon them. Harding
was very grave, and even gloomy. Belmore,
on the other hand, preserved the tranquil
and confident air which had inspired me
with hope when / first saw him.

A STORY OF A GRAVEYARD FLOWER.
San FraDrisrO Chronicle.

A gentleman living in this city received
Il few weeks ago q small twig in an envel-
ope, taken from his mothers grave in Po-
sen, Germany. The twig vas all but quite
faded. The leaves fell off Immediately.
One small portion Of the stem alone pre-
served its green color and appeared to be
slightly moist. Giving it to his wife he
thought nothing more about it until the
other day she brought to him a littleflOwer
pot containing a small plant looking like
a fuschia and standing four inches high.
1t bears a number of small leaves on its
slender stem and shows every evidence of
life.E This twig had travelled 700 miles i'll
a common envelope, in which it had lain
about three weeks. The lady who nursed
it back to life cut the stem open at the
bottom, inserted n grain Of wheat and
planted it in the fOwer-pOt with the re-
markable result stated.

How "A Married Woman Goes TO Bed.

How "A Married Woman Goes TO Bed.
There is an article going the rounds en-
titled, How the Girls Go to Sleep" The
manner in which they go to sleep, accord
ing to the article, can't hold a candle to
the way Il married woman goes To sleep.
Instead of thinking what she should have
attended to before going to bed, she thinks
of it afterward. While she is revolving
these matters in her mind, and while
snugly tucked up in bed, the old man is
scratching his leg in front of the fire and
wondering how he will pay the next months
rent. Suddenly she exclaims:
James, did you lock the door"
(which door" says James.
''The cellar door," says she.
NO" says James.
"Well, You had better go down and
lock it, for ! heard some one in the yard
last night"
Accordingly James paddles down the
stairs and locks the door. About the time
James returns and is going to bed she re-
marks:
Dld you smut the stair door,
mo" says James.
well if it is not shut the cat will get
up into the chamber"
Let her come up, then" says James,
ill-naturedly.
My Goodness, no!!' returns his wife;
shed suck the baby's breath"
Then James paddles downstairs again
and steps on a tack, and closes the stair
door and curses the cat, and returns to the
bedroom. Just as he begins to climb into
his couch his wife observes:
u forgot TO bring mp some water; sup
pose you bring up some in the big tin"
And so James, with q muttercd curse,
goes down into the dark kitchen and falls
over a chair and rasps all the tinware of
the wall in search of the big" tin, and
then jerks the stair door open a bowls:
Where the deuce is the m~atchcs?n
She gives him a minute direction where
to find the matches, and adds that she
would rather go and get the water herself
than have the whole neighborhood raised
about it. After which James finds the
matches, procures the water and comes up
stairs, and plunges into bed. Presently
his wife says:
James, let's have an understanding
about money matters. Now, next week
I've got to pay"
Il don't know what you'll have TO pay,
and don't carew shouts James, as he
lurches around and jams his face against
the wall; "all ] want is sleep"
That's all very well for your, snaps
his wife, as she pulls the covers yiciously:
you never think Of the worry and trouble
/ have. And there is Aramirta, who. I
believe is taking the measels."
Let her take EN-" says James.
Hereupon she begins to cry softly. but

her elbow and says:

Mr.. Longfellow, gently, and the farmer
murmured: I'm in the hop business, my.

letting the talk drop, turned to the man
and said: 81 have often been struck with

a compliment was paid a pretty Boston girl
in Mexico City, and she astonished her
plain-spoken admirer by taking her para
