E2,:cl 4 ola Puritan Days.

AntigUaria,s Of Lawrence, Mass, are
buaily engaged in examining two articles
found n few days &.,o in the Merrimae
rivera rusty mus;ct and n silver watch
thGt appear to have been resting on the
bottom Of the river for II century or two.
Half Of the muskcr barrel Is eaten up by
rust, but the thick brecch remains. The
thin parts of the stock crumblad when
brought to the air The stock was broken
at the grip, and a deep dent on the check
piece shows that it WIS broken by 81 blow.
There is u cut nearly an inch deep on one
side, made by narrow hatchet or wide
chisel which was driven into the walnut
stock to that depth by n single blow, the
splintered wood showing its force. Tho
hammer, which holds large flint in its
clasp, is down, and there is no bullet in the
barrel
Beside the muskct lay II silver watch, tc
which w&a attached y long, heavy chain
both ends Of which are fast in the ring
bat some twelve inches above the fasten.
ing Of one end of the chain had been cut
nearly in two As the chain is made Of
silver wire over one-cighth of an inch
thick, it must have taken Il heavy blow OF
u sharp instrument TO cut it, The outside
of the watch was once finely engraved, but
on the side which lay uppcrmost the de.
sign cannot he made out, as the action OF
the water has nearly smoothed the plate
The under side SHOVE the engraving per
tcatIy. On the face Of the hands, in small
letters, is printed:
John BowIcs, Ilorologor to his Majesty
1873 Ihrcadnccdlc street, London"
On the inside Of the outer case is en-
gravcd:
".'rcsCutcd to Joshua Armstrong on his
twcnty-Grst birthday by his loving mother
Prudence Armstrong, April 10, 1920"
Whether these relics narll the scene OF
an accident or u tragedy can never lie
known. They were found near once
famous stamping ground of the Indians.

\ CRISIS IN TAMMANN.

Not since the downfall of Tweed and

public Offices of New York as that
which is now being made. Light is
being let in on the dark places, What
may be not inaptly described as an cpl
demic Of investigation prevails. The
crooked acts of official rogues are be-
ing ruthlessly exposed and indictments
are frequent The air is filed with
charges and counter charges, and not
even Mayor Grant, eX sheriff, has es-
capped accusation.
Now comes clear note from over the
sea. 1t is the voice Of Richard Croker,
the leader of Tammany, who is seeking
to renew his health at the springs of
Wiesbaden. He expresses the utmost
confidence in Mayor Grant, and says:
Turn the rascals out, every one of them
but turn out the right men. Don't spare
the big ones and disgrace the little ones,
but turn out whoever is responsible, big OF
little. The Tammany man who betrays 8

THE STEP-MOTHER.

The day died out in dreariness and dread,
Grim shadows crept through hall and cor
Tidor,
While fading fire light lurid hickering shed
Athwart the paneled walls and oNken
lloor
Around the cheerless hearth the children
pressed,
Pale, patient, brooding DER the dreadful
Like half-fedged birds forsaken In the
neatl,
Too cowed TO weep, too dulled with
gloom and sorrow.
Upon the wall the treasured portrait hung,
That well remembered smile forever
gone,
That pure white neck round which their
arms had clung,
Those lips once warm with kiss and
benson.
At every fancicd football, White with fear,
The children started, trembled, glanced
around,
Gazed In each others eyes aud seemed to
hear
The strangers voice in every passing
sound.
How win she come, with frown or baleful
smile?
Yet fearfuler, to greet the shrinking
throng?
How look, how speak? Why tarrles she,
meanwhile,
Thus wantonly their torture prolong?
At last she comes. Hush, hush, unWel-
come guest,
Usurper OF dead rites and dearest ties,
Ah, mol false tears; it is vision blest-
An angel stands before their glistening
eyes.
With such smile as mild Madonnas
wear,
Obi such a look so gracious and 50
meek
The twilight glimmering round her golden
hair
And tears Of tender pity on her cheek.
