You will have to give up Tom
Birch, won't yoa, and do the chores
yourself?"
Il have thought of it, but Tom is
poor, and to give him home is a
deed of charity. No, we viii save
some other way
How much do you pay Tom ?"
Three dollars and his board. And,
by the way, he says you don't wash
his clothes. Washing and mending
was in the bargain"
81 think Tom Will have to 60, for
I have hired Jane Patch. She will
be here tonight. Two dollars a week
I am to give her. You want to prac-
tice Bear We one another's burdens,
as well as preach from the text; 50 I
will give you a chance. I shall take
nv turn in sitting on the cool piazza
with a neighbor after tea, while you
do the chores. I think the time has
come for some of my burdens to be
lifted. By exchanging Tom for Jane,
you will have one dollar week for
the cranberry meadow. You say
strong, active Tom is in need OF
home he can make one for himself
anywhere. 1t is deed of charity to
give Jane home, and an act Of mer-
cy to give your wife a little rest. -
Before John could recover from his
astonishment, Mary walked out of
his sight, and taking the children,
went to the shut-up parlor. Throw-
ing open the windows to let in the
soft summer air, with the baby in
her lap, she sat down at the piano
and began to play song without
words, a piece John had loved to
hear when he used to visit her in her
home where she was a pretty girl.
The song crept out through the open
windows and around to John as he
sat upon the porch, and memory COM
PEELED him to give the song words
Not musical poetry, but rather SOM
bre prose, wherein washing and IRON
ing, hard days at the churn, hours Of
cooking for hungry men, stood out be-
fore his minds eve in contrast to the
fair promise he had made the pretty
girl he had won for his bride
Jane Patch came that evening, and
at once took upon herself many of
Mrs. Clark's cares, and no one greet
ed her more cordially than the mas
ter of the house. Nothing was ever
said about her coming, and Tom Birch
did not go away; so Mary knew that
her husband could afford the expense.
She told me how she helped to
make one man thoughtful and selfish,
as we sat on her cool piazza one hot
August night; and I was glad one
woman had grit" enough to demand
her rights. If John Clark had been
poor man, his wife would have borne
her burden with patience; but she
had no right to make him selfish, At
least, that was her view of the case.
Who will say that she was not right?

Gen. Gordon and Mr.. Hamilton.

Senator Faulkner relates a pleasing
incident of his trip to New York. The
famous "Stonewall Brigade Band, of
Staunton, went to New York as guests
of Charles Broadway Rouss, a former
Virginian. The members were quar-
tered at the Windsor Hotel, and after
the arrival Of the President serenaded
him. Then they played in the lobby
of the hotel. After they had finished,
one Of the members came up to Sena-
tor Faulkner and asked if Gen. Gordon
was in the party. Upon being informed
that the famous old Confederate was
in the hotel, he said he would like to
see him and remind him Of an incident
of the war. The Georgian was pres
emily found.
"Gen. Gordon, l want to remind you
of promise you made. We were be-
fore Fort Stedman. Along early in the
morning, before the assault, you came
by, and, rising in your stirrups and
looking over the ground, you said that
you would give every man who entered
Fort Stedman that day a 90 days
furlough and a gold medal. I was one
of those who went into Fort Stedman,
and I now call upon You to redeem
your promise.
remember the incident perfectly"
replied Gen. Gordon. Il am sorry I
can't give the medal, but Gen. Grant
has given you the furlough."
A short time later ex-Goy. Flower,
of New York, heard of the incident,
and got Gen. Gordon and Mr. Hamilton
together. When the story had been
repeated he said that such an incident
of the Grant ceremonies should not re-
main unnoticed. "Grant has given
you the furlough which Gen. Gordon
promised" he said to Mr.. Hamilton,
"and I will see that the other portion
of the Generals promise is redeemed.
I viii give you gold medal as soon
as Gen. Gordon prepares a suitable in
scnption for it. = Washington Post.

Truth Stranger Than Fiction.

The adage that truth is stranger
than fctioa" has been verified by a
recent romantic occurrence in ROa-
noke, Va, the event being the meet
ing of man and wife who had each
supposed the other dead for nearly
eight years.
On the afternoon Of May 81, 1889,
John Sharkey and his young wife,
from Buchanan county, Va, stood at
the door of their cottage home, in
Johnstown, Pa, preparing to fly from
the great wall of water that was COM
ing down the Conemaugh Valley from
the broken dam above the city, carry
ing death and destruction in Its path
They plunged into the rapidly rising
waters, and in their efforts 10 reach
the hills were carried helplessly down
the stream.
In the horror and confusion of that
awful time, when thousands found
watery grave, they soon became sepa-
rated, and though the man finally
reached the shore and the woman was
rescued by strong and willing arms,
each supposed the other had persisted.
Both remained in Johnstown and Vi
cinity several DAYS searching for some
trace Of each other, but neither being
successful, they wandered away, and,
being without friends or money, had a
hard struggle for time in earning
living.
The wife secured employment as a.
servant in a family not far from Johns
town and the husband went East in
quest of work. He stopped for awhile
in Philadelphia, Baltimore and other
cities and finally located in Norfolk.
In the meantime the woman gradu-
ally worked her way to Salem, Va,
where she arrived about three weeks
ago. On Monday last the husband
reached Roanoke from Norfolk, and
on Wednesday, while going up Salem
avenue, he and the wife, whom he sup
posed dead, met face to face. Mutual
explanations followed. Neither had
remarked, and as each had saved some
money in the years of their separation
they resolved to return to their native
county-Buchanan-which they had
left only a month when the Johnstown
disaster occurred. They left Roanoke
to begin life together again, and
happier couple than they could not
be seen.
