Saved bY a IYomnn,s Wit.

After the loss Of Brooklyn Heights,
Washington and Greene were already
aware that the city could not be held
Its capture was very easily effected.
Several ships of the line assembled
the Hudson as far as BlOOmingdale,
and the East River as far as Black
WELLS Island, says John Fisk in an
article on ''WashingtOn's Great Cam
paign" in the atlantic MOntbLy: and
while thus from either side these yes
sells swept the northern part Of Man
haitian with a furious fire, Gen. Howe
brought his army across from Brooklyn
IN boats and landed at Kipp's bay, near
the present site of East Thirty-fourth
street.
Washington came promptly down
with two New England brigades to re-
enforce the men whom he had stationed
at that point, and to hinder the land
ing of the enemy until Putnam should
have time to eYacuate the city. To
Washington's wrath and disgust, these
men were seized with panic and sud
denly turned and fed without firing a
shot.
Had Howe now thrown his men
promptly forward across the line of
Thirty-fOurth street he would have cut

what the New England brigades failed
to do bright woman succeeded in &C
comprising.
When Howe had reached the spot
known as Murray hill, now the center
Of much brown stone magnifcence in
Park and Madison and Fifth avenues.
at that time a noble country farmstead,
Mrs. Lindley Murray, mother of the
famous grammarian, well knowing the
easy temper Of the British commander,
sent out a servant to invite him to stop
and take luncheon.
A general halt was ordered, and
while Howe and his officers were grace
fully entertained for more than two
hours by their accomplished and sub
tie hostess, Putnam hastily marched
his 4, 900 men up the shore of the Hud-
son, until, passing BloomingdaIe, he
touched the right wing of the main
army and was safe, though his tents,
blankets and heavy guns had been left
behind.

Victims of the Naphtha Habit.

The latest female vice is intOxica-
ton by naphtha. It Is not drunk. The
fumes Of it are simply inhaled, Undue
ing, so the inebriate says, a particular
~ agreeable exhilaratiOn Not even
hasheesh, it IS understood, begets more
fascinating dreams or more gorgeous
visions of splendor. The girls in the
rubber factories, of whom there are a
great number in Boston and its neigh
bOrhOod, are greatly addicted to this
novel form of drunkenness. In such
establishments naphtha is used in en-
OrmOus quantities to cleanse the rub
Der, being kept in big boilers closed
against the air. To the valves of these
boilers the young women employees
readily obtain access and breathe the
eXhalatiOns therefrOm, some unluGliy
accident having betrayed to a chance
experimenter the abOminabIe secret.
The notion is said to have been brought
originally from Germany by immi-
grant labOrers in petticoats. Now the
manufacturers propose to put a stop
to the evil by keeping the valves care
fully locked.
An overdose of naphtha fumes brings
on hysterical commissions and other
unpleasant symptoms. The habit, long
followed, causes a swelling of the face
and other parts of the body, with
drOPsy to follow, and sometimes e,9iI-
epsy. On the whole, 1t is difficult to
know which of these new-fangIed vices
for women to recommend. There is
ether-drinking, laughing-gas, and tea
eating, besides the naphtha. The con
scientiCus pursuit of any Of them viii

footed, without a collar, without ruf-
fes, without any Of the pretty things
that other girls have to wear, and the
lack Of which she now felt for the first
time. When he was entirely out Of
sight Mercy went upstairs and took
her fathers shaving glass, the only
one in the house, and looked at her
face. She saw large brown eyes, full
and deep, long lashes that swept her
cheeks, wavy brown hair, q very
sweet mouth and snOW-White teeth,
and a rich, red color on her sun
Drowned cheeks. She thought moth
ing Of her figure or she might have
seen that it was the perfection of
wOmanly grace. She laid the glass
away with a sigh.
That night she went to her father
and asked him to give her some money
that she might get some clothes like
other girls. He stOrmed and ragged
and abused her until he was tired, and
she listened to it all, and when he was
done she turned and went upstairs
without another word
The next morning she did up all her
work and then told her mother that
she was going over to see Miranda
Ferris, and not to be uneasy if she did
not ger Dack before SundOWn; she nau
left the mems dinner on the table and
should be back in time for supper.
She walked toward the town, with her
head high and her checks and eyes
blazing, albeit that the little feet were
bare and the head covered by a faded
sunbonnet, and straight toward the
house Of Judge Peters, where there
was to be that day a competitive ex-
animation for schOOl-teachers, for the
sleepy little town was now to have a
fine school, and all the young girls in
the town who had extra educational
advantages wished to obtain the posi-
ton of teacher. The young minister
was one of the examining board.
Mercy walked up, and, in spite of
the murmur that her presence called
forth, signed her name as one of the
twelve ndidates, and then took her
seat and looked steadily down at a knot
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1889-05-31

in the rag carpet. The young ladies
were called up in rotation, and soon
the number was diminished to four be-
sides Mercy, three of whom had grad
uRted at young ladies' seminaries. It
did not take long to exhaust their fund
of information, and then it came Mer-
cy's turn.
She took her place amidst an utter
silence, and the examination com
menced, and she answered every Ques-
ton correctly, and in such choice Ian
guage that the whole board were
surprised. Then the young minister,
with his college learning still fresh in
his memory, began to question her,
with a bewidering rapidly but she
never faltered once, and he went far
beyond the list of studies required,
and into those that are properly cIassed
as sciences, and there he almost failed
to find flaw. In algebra, mathemat-
les, and mental calculation, she far
surpassed himself, and then he asked
her to write. With o burning heart,
she took the dainty pen between her
red, rough fingers, and wrote rapidly
and most beautifully part Of Tenny-
sons Dora" from memory.
That completed the examination, and
she was told that she should hear their
decision the next day. She bowed In
silence and went home, but when she
reached there she was pale and wan, as
if she had won a victory by force of
arms, that had left her also exhausted
and bleeding.
The next day Judge Peters and the
young minister came to Mr.. Lords
house, and Mercy would have given
worlds to have not been obliged to open
the door for them, but, with an effort
of viii, she did so, and led the way to
her mothers sitting-roOm with a firm
step and q proudly carried head. It
took but a few minutes to acquaint
Mercy and her mother of the verdict of
the Board, and that was that Mercy
was chosen as principal of the new
school, at a salary of seventy-fYe dol
lars month. The whole world faded
away for few moments from Mercy,
but she soon recovered to hear the min
lister, Mr.. Prescott, tell her mother all
the story about the examination, and
heard him ask where Mercy had stud
led with such good effect.
When he heard, he turned a very ad-
miring gaze upon the lovely face, and,
somehow, ne turned his eyes very often
in that direction many times thereaf-
ter.
When Merey's father heard the news
from his proud and happy wife, and
discovered that all these years Mercy
had been defrauding him of the time
that she must have used studying, he
few into terrible passion and acted
more like a mailman than anything
else, but at last Mercy, driven to bay,
stood before him and said:
"Stopl I have borne all I ever shall

The old man went out at this iunct-
ure and walked around a while, and
finally returned and came sheepishly
up to where Mercy was gathering her
mothers few clothes together, and said;
"We1, Mercy, I've been a thinHn'.

And the old miser skunk out again.

talked the matter over and decided 90
stay. Mrs. Lord seemed to gain new
strength and life every day, and she
and Mercy were busy. preparing such
clothes as they could for Mercy's new
position, when, much to their surprise,
Mr.. Lord came IN one morning and
laid down between them twenty dol
lars, saying:
There, take that, you two, and buy

never give ye nothin'. Mercy smiled,
but she offered no caress. Indeed. her

fered one or seemed to expect one.
So their little difficulties straight
ened out, and Mercy took her position,
clad in a black cashmere dress, with
lace ruffles at the wrist and throat,
dainty shoes and hat, and little white
apron, as beftted a teacher, and she
looked so sweet and pretty that it was
no wonder that the young minister
should find that the interest he had al
ready felt in this young girl, whose
industry in the face of almost inSur-
mOuntable obstacles had achieved such
wonderful results, grew daily, and he
tried hard to emulate her by taking up
his own studies again, so that he might
not be shamed by her superior educa-
ton. Everybody in the village declared
that it was wonder, and aG, except
the parents of the disappointed eandi-
dates, declared they had always known
