around to the side door, which opened di-

stepped softly in. Grandma's armchair
empty-stood by the window. leaned over

Sun OF my soul, Thou Saviour dear
But the sound of sobbing reached my
ear, and, looking up, saw in the shadows
at the further end of the room Aunt Maria,
standing by the bureau. Grandma's bon
net was in her hand. She turned it about
and looked at it as if she would torture her
self with the certainty that 1t was indeed
shabby, then she kissed it again and bowed
her head low over it in an agony of bitter
weeping. And l had thought Aunt Maria

denied the dear old mother almost the last

ran across the street to Aunt Maria's to
consult with our cousins, the "other glrls."
We always drifted into grandma's room
1t was the largest, pleasantest room IN the
house, and grandma was so bright and
CHEEKY we loved to be with her. She sat by
that morning, occasionally putting in her
quiet word, while we went deep into the
subject of straws and bonnets and leghorns,
high crowns, rolling brims, tips, plumes,
ribbons, etc. 1t was all settled at last, that
Louise, being fair, should get pale blue,
shirred-like bonnet, and Cousin Clara
white Grape one with pink roses; Sister
Ruth's bonnet was to be like herself, quiet
and sweet-a fine straw with bit OF deli
cate lace and heliotropes; while NINE, all
agreed, should be hat with rolling brim,
faced with black velvet, and glowing with
scarlet peoples. There was no need OF so
much clatter and consultation, however, for
each, after receiving advice, resolved to
provide herself with the identical head-gear
she had in mind for the last month.
After we had somewhat subsidized, grand
ma got up and went to her bureau drawer.
Il guess Pll have my bonnet tended to
while you're about it," she said, as she care
fully lifted it out. "rve worn it just as it
is going on five years now. Isn't it getting
little sort o. rusty!"
Grandma ought to have new bonnet,
mother" said Louise. "One of those fine
black Neapolitans, trimmed with black lace,
would be lovely for her."
Aunt Maria took her mothers straw bon
net and turned it about on her hand, IN
speeding it critically, thinking meanwhile
that the girls hats were all to be rather ex-
pensive this season, and that it was time to
retrench somewhere. What great differ
ence did it make about an old lady's bonnet
any way, so that it was comfortable-she
went out so little.
ooh, l don't think need g new one"
grandma said, meelily. "That would be ex-
travagant; but L thought a new border
might be put in, and may be new pair OF
strings"
Il don't see any thing the matter with
the border" said Aunt Maria, in a decided
tone. "The strings can be sponged and
ironed, and they will look as well as ever"
So saying, she handed it back to grand
ma, and turned to give Louise further COM
missions for the city.
Ruth told me afterward that she felt like
saying: "Give it to me, grandma. will
have it all freshened up for you, and I'll
pay for it myself
But none of US ever thought of going con-
trary to Aunt Maria's DEGREES. She was
the commander-in-chiefo of both households.
Grandma took her bonnet in silence, and
put it back in the drawer. She was not
growing childish, but was sure that tear
trembled on her eyelid as she bent her

A FAMOUS CHARGER.
He Took Part in over Thirty Battles and

When Colonel Samuel Fowler, the
founder of Port Jarvis, and at one time
Chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee, of New York, went to the war
in 1862 at the head of the Fifteenth
New Jersey Volunteers, regiment re-
cruited in his native county of Sussex,
some of his friends in both States united
in presenting him with a charger.
They selected the six-year-old brown
gelding Restless, by Rysdykes HANDLE
tOnian and Harry Clay mare, raised by
George c. Shaw, of Newton, and already
famous for style and speed. Colonel
Fowler rode his young charger at the
head of the gallant Fifteenth regiment
through two hard fought campaigns, and
until he himself was constrained to re-
tire from the service by the malady
which afterward caused his death.
On Colonel Fowler's retirement Rest
less passed into the hands of Rev. 4. A.
Haines, chaplain of the regiment, and
the son of former famous Governor Of
New Jersey. Thereafter the famous
horse was loaned to and ridden by Gem
eral Torber during the seven days fear
full struggle of the Wilderness, but 9TH
erwise, until the close of the war, he
was mainly employed by his master in
the mercifni duties of carrying succor
and consolation to the wounded on the
battlefield and helping the sick and
weary on the long march.
Restless took part in more than thirty
battles and skirmishes, including tho
bloody engagements of Petersburg,
Fredericksburg, Winchester, the Viii
derness and Gettysburg, and carries the
scar of a wound received in the last
named battle. When the war ended,
Chaplain Hainos brought the horse home
to his farm at Hamburg, and has since
held the war-worn charger among his
most cherished possessions. For five
years past Restless had been hOnOrably
retired from all work, and has the free
run of pastures and stables. At thirty
three years old he is still comparatively
healthy and active, and bids fair to live
for some years.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

ANOTHER SHIPWRECK.
Loss of the American Barque T. L.
Sweat of Portland, Maine.

By the Morning Star which arrived on
the 18th inst, news has been received
of the wreck, on Susanna reef, on April
9th of the American bark T. L. Sweat
Captain VIM. Gooding, Portland, Me,
The following is condensed statement
of the report given by the chief officer
from the log:
Sailed from New York on september
14th, 1888, with 1900 tons general mer-
chandise for Brisbane, Queensland,
Australia, arriving there on Feb. Sd,
1889, after a passage of IA days. After
unloading cargo left for Newcastle, n.
S. W., where 800 tons coal were taken
on board for Hongkong. Sailed from
Newcastle March 9th. One month later,
on April 9th, struck the Susanna coral
reef II 20 a. m. A high surf was run
ming and a siX-knot breeze was blowing,
so that within an hour alter the reef was
struck the vessel was smashed to atoms.
An attempt was made to lower the large
boat, but the sea dashed it against the
side of the vessel and it was lost. Only
time was left for launching the small
boat. Embarked in the boat at l a. m.
Nothing whatever was saved from the
vessel, the ship was breaking up SO fast
no one had any opportunity of getting
any provisions from the store room. The
boat was headed for Pozeat of the En-
derby Islands, about fourteen miles dis
tant, and which were reached at 5 80
p. m. the same day. The islanders came
out to meet them in about twelve canoes,
between ten and fifteen in each canoe.
On April Goth, after remaining ten
days on the island the natives permitted
them to leave the island, and Captain
Gooding with three others left in the
ships boat, and the chief officer with
the rest of the crew and seven natives in
a canoe. After a few hours pulling the
canoe sprang a leak and put back to
land, and they remained there three
months. On tue day after first leaving,
the captains boat being found too small
to face the somewhat bOisterous weather
which was then setting in, was headed for
Ruk, an island about twenty-five miles
distant. Captain Gooding and his party
and MIR. Olapp set out about the middle
of June, in the mission boat for the
rescue of the remaining crew at Pozoat.
Arrived at Pozoat on June 29th, and on
the following day all set out for Ruk,
arriving there about July 9Th. Remained
there two months awaiting the arrival of
the Morning Star. The party set out
early in September and arrived the same
month at Ponope where they waited for
the Morning Star to transfer them to
Honolulu. The Star arrived there about
October 18th and the crew were taken
on board and brought to Honolulu. The
party during their castaway existence
on these inhospitable isles had to endure
the severest OF hardships.
