THE MISER'S WILL. How Janet's Gooseberry Lot Proved Worthy Cultiyation

(Which of the two girls, Aunt Mag, do you suppose will be the old mis- CTS heiress;" and Dick Holmes, a young exquisite. who was practicing law in a distant town, waited anX- iQusiY for T reply, which meant to him Il great deal--mQre than be would care to have the world know.
 Aunt and nephew stood in the kitchen of yellow farm house among the hills-a ow-ceiled, smoke e-stained room, with rough, misshapen rafters overhead. Mrs. Brown-or Aunt Mag, as the young man styled her a tall, thin woman, with elongated visage and slow, mcthodical ways, carefully wiped the carthern bowl she held in her hand, and put it away in lhe shining dresser, ere she took com passion on her nephew $ anxiety. and said
 ''l think, nay. Pm certain that Janet will fall heir to the old mans property. She is his favorite grand daughter"
 "Thank Heaven it is Janet, and not Rachel,' broke forth the listener with sigh of such intense relief that his aunt turned round and laced him ill surprise.
 Why, what possible difference can it make to you, Dick Holmes F' she demanded in anything but a pleasant tone.
 All the difference in the world, aunt, if you will only stop tQ con sider mean to make the hercss my wife. My practice is not so cx- tcnsiye that l can supply my own necessary wants and marry the girl l love. l love Janet Gray, and thor ougly despise that selfish, spitlre cousin of hers, Rachel Finkle. NeY- ertheless, if Rachel were the heiress 1 instead of Janet, should transfer my affections to her and offer her my heart and hand. <"
 ''To be rejected, maybe :" snapped | the woman. "Iou are a cold blooded, mercenary wretch, Dick Holmes, ana l hope, whoever turns out to Le the heiress, you will fail to catch her.
 "Thanks.' he returned, cnmpla- gently, Il have no cause to fear. Both of the girls are devotedly at= 1 tached lc me. Good morning. aunt. As it Is nearly time for the funeral and as l purpose making the miser' s heress Mrs. Holmes, l will saunter over to the house. l hope when ] return to find you in more concili- atory mood"
 He walked quietly ont of the room, unheeding the look of contempt be- slowed upon him ny his aunt, as handsome young fello" a' one would care to meet He was tall and straight, with Grecian features, wayy black hair and melting black eyes, whose gIanees created sad havoc with i the hearts ot country maldens around.

Showing a Stranger to a Pew.
BY BOB Bt'RDETTE.

haven't much sense. often grievc over this rather embarrassing deficiency, and have tried several methods for supplying the long and sorc-fclt want. hut without success. About all that l do is to wear black. and go sorrowing all my days over things l did without intending to do them. or else did them with the best i intention. One time felt that was not doing my duty by the strangers who occasionally came to the church wherein l was a pcw-holdcr. I said that I would keep an eye out for the stranger and take him in with cor dialitv that would make his hair curl, so 10 speak. Sunday morning dawncd. and my resolution still held good, although three or four days old. This surprised and pleased me, as two days was the usual limit for my best resolutions. Well, took back seat and laid low for strangers. 1 was going To show that church how to welcome the soiourner and the stranger within our gate. l missed two or three -ood shots on account of my shyness. as l was new at the welcoming business and wasn't very well acquainted with the church people anyhow, and had terrible fear of making a mistake. So l let three or four thoroughbred strangers get past my look off, and wander into wrong places, only to be started out of the pew when the family came. But by and by, just about the hour for opening service, l made base hit. An old man came in. with d timid, uncertain step, and had him by the arm before he knew where he was. He whispered, "Never mind," but l told him that was what 1 was there for. He tried, in his feeble, timid way, to slide into q side pew, but l wouldn't have 1t. walked him up the center aisle, and pointed him into Judge Dustinashes' pew. Then forced an open hymn-book into his reluctant hand, and refusing to stay and listen to his faltered thanks, l went to my own seat, fol- lowed by surprised, pleased look in that old mans face and eyes that made my heart warm all through the service, The people smiled at each other, and looked at me, as l had never been known to do such thing before, but l didn't care. had made one humble worshiper feel at home in that church, and knew he would come back again. l didn't hear much of the sermon, am afraid l was thinking too pleasantly about myself.
 We'll, l was right about the old man coming back again. He came back several times in fact, but he found his own seat after that memor- able sunday. learned after service that he was one of the richest and oldest members of that church. He had been baptized into it about the time l was getting born. No wonder he was surprised. No wonder didn't show my face at church for three weeks. No wonder that was con iirmed In the suspicion that had been haunting me in vague, shad- owy way for some years, that hadn't much sense. l haven't any more now than 1 had then. Still, there s one comfort-you don't need much in my business.

your wife gladly. had you been sir cere in your protestations of affec tion. As it is,' losing her calmness and raising her voice, II despist you. l loathe you as l would some slimy reptile in my path! You have played fast and loose with both oi the miser's granddaughtcr's, not knowing which would turn out to he his heircss. Now. if you wish Janet to be gour wife, you have that priyi. Iege. If not, you traitor, get out oi my sight! This is my house, and l never want to see your face in il again as long as l live!"
 He stepped to the door, was open ing it. when another voice, sweetcr, clearer than he first, bade him stop
 ''Do not go just yet, Mir. Holmes l have a word or two to say to you, If had been the heircss. it would have done You no good to court me. For a husband, mere flop would nol sut me. Adieu !''
 Sine relapsed into silence, and the humiIiated man took his departure, realizing that he had failed signall, in securing an heiress.
 ..Janet!"
 It was the voice of Bob Templeton that broke the stiffness. She sat alone i4 the sitting.room absorbed in thought.
 .Well," she smiled, as he hesita- ted to proceed.
 II love you. Now, that you are not the heiress, l can tell you so. Janet will you be my wifesH
 Janet put her hand confdingly in his and softly whispered, Yes"
 So nothing In the way to prevent, they were married, and went to housekeeping Tn q pretty little cot tage, surrounded by few acres of ground. and off of which Rob eX- pected t9 earn their living, In the course of time he prepared to culti- vate the land presented to his wife. He tore up the gooseberry bushes with energy, and began to blow the lot. One old bush proving obs stinate he had recourse to a piek'axe and began to dig about the root with his might and main. It struck against something that was neither ground nor stone. What was it! He pecked away wonderingly until a wooden box was disclosed, which, with considerable excitement, he pro- ceeded to haul out and break open, when a smaller box of metal emerge d to view,
 ''lt Is Janet's fortune," he cried, dwelling on the eccentricities of the defunct, as he hurried home with the box as fast as his feet would carry him. II was sure he never meant to leave her ont in the cold"
 
 h The presenc of Janet he opened the box. What q sight met their eyes! It was literally filled with glittcring gold pieces; in the midst of which was strip of parchment, or which were traced words to the et' feet that if she, Janet, presented her selt at ---------- bank. New York City she would find there an equivalen, for her goodness to a lonely old man
 To her unmitigated surprise sh' found the sum of twenty thousand dollars deposited there for her use He left no explanation as to his con duct, Janet, however, was sure sh' had the key to 1t.
 ''He knew the box would b, found" she said, ''and he wa, afraid l would marry Dick Holmes if he openly proclaimed me his heir ess. "-,Iohn 4, Peters, in Alban, | Evening Journal

Not Married.

| The man who has never married views life in a way entirely different from his mated brother.
 He has an experience widely dis similar.
 The first business of his life must be to learn how to sew on buttons, and how to manage his boarding house mistress.
 He must also learn that hot soap stone is a necessity on cold nights. and that when he is mad he will have to swear at himself and be sat isiied.
 He feels no interest in the best way to build house. He does moi stop in the biting cold of Christmas week to look into the shop windows to see what he thinks his wife would like for Christmas present. He does not go home nights with hi, pockets stuffed full of toys an. .un- bons for the children. His whiskcrs are never siic!>cy with mOlasscs from the fingers of the demonstrativc young rascals who climb on his knees to kiss him with wad of molasses candy in one hand, and tease him for new tops, and "a sled like Jim S.. |"
 He can stay out at night as late as he plcases; there is nobody to care or question why.
 He does not know the aspect of milliner's bill. He is never asked to take up carpet, or set up stoye.
 He does not have to go down to the pump Tn the still hours of the night to get some water for one of the chil- dren.
 He has the whole bed to himself, and can sleep in the middle of it. and turn over fifty times if he wishes and has no one complaining that he has pulled all the bedclothes onto the floor.
 He can snore. He can talk in his sleep.
 He can he abed until ten o'clock and no fault found; that, if he pays his board promptly and don't grum- bio at the hash.
 He can smoke all he wants to, and and drink champagne without the risk of an inquisitive nose scenting breath, and plaintive voice wanting to know 'what he can be thinking of drinking that expensive wine, and those poor children suffering for shoes and under r-ilannels :" He never had mother-in-law. He is never called on to help his wife's poor relations. He is never jealous. | Handsome men have no terrors for him. He does not have to get his l life insured for the benefit of his wife, that she may start out in good style with her second husband.
 He can eat onions. He can oil | his hair. He can leave his old boots on the burea He can run for ton- gross without fear that the opposl- ton party will accuse him of beating his wife. He has no ungrateful sons to call him the "old man" and the s.governor. He has no pretty daughters to elope with the coach man. There are no pug dogs, nor poodles, nor ladies' maids to board in his establishment.
 There is nobody to put his things out of place; all his belongings will be handy-just hung up on the floor. He needn't have to hunt for them, because he knows just where they are. Nobody has picked them up or carried them off into the attic, under the miserable preteNt of tidying the room.
 Oh, the unmarried man has great many compensations, and we hope he appreciates them and he ought to be happy in his last moments by the reflection that his wife cannot show disrespect to his memory by filling his place six months after his burial with new husband.- Ex.

benefit of the whole State it would have
passed; az a means Of personal aggrsndize-
ment it died.
It's not strange that the people Of West
Virginia hsvs nos given the society the
abundant support which the excellence of
the cause tusdfes. They have responded
in a measure but it is tn a great extent
due 10 the energy and capacity Of the
home branches, snd not to the general
work Of the State organization. The pur-
pose ol the Immigration Society is one in
which every loyal West Yirgiaian feels a
warm interest. It can be made a mighty
organ'za on fer State good. Il has not
beaa 81, bfc,use it does not share the conf
denc4 ol the psople, and until that conf
drnce IS restored there can be little hope
thai, will perform tbs work originally
marked out for it.
Ia conclusion, let the REGISTER say that
il has not invited, and does not desire, a
contoveisy. in which the Slate Immigra
ton Society may be injured. The cause
OF State development is SIS near to lite heart
as il can be to the heart Of man who IS
not a West Virginian by birth or educa-
tion, snd VINO has no part or parcel with
West Virginiaus, save to satisfy his own pet
ty vanity ct their expense. The structures
on the management ofthe Society, brief az
tbey we're. were msde in the utmost good
nature, and with only one end in view. II
il hal bsen desired to wage personal and
malicious war egaiast It's President, golden
opportunities would have besn found long
since, but such is not the desire.
Against Col. BIRDIE HART's far fame,
we have not one word TO say. 1t has been
msde secure by daring investigations in
Wheeling's slums of iniquity. His name
is inscribed imperishably on the walls Of
Maine gin mills. It will be handed down
for sges connected with Col. ATKINsoN's
nine dollar clothes, and the fact thst he
was born con a bright Sunday morning in
the City of Charches." If Col. BIRDIE
HART believes that he is net failure SIS "a
State developer and 'immigrator," he is
welcome to the belief, but it is not the
first time that he has set up his opinion
against the people Of West Virginia, aud
got couespondingly lett. He doubtless
believes that ne has drawn immigration
to West Virgins, like ahOemaker's wax
draws q hot boil. and the whole world
can't convince him of the contrary. We
surrender Col. BIRDIE HART to the COM
fortiag influences Of these decisions.
