The voioe Rnd face were stern and unyielding. Georlrey liaird knew that all the piteous appeals h nad made, the assertions of innoeencf V- iAd frantically declared, had fallen upv: . . s not indeed deaf, bnt closed to him. V '.! uave been very kind to me, Mr. ji'tvC he said, his voice quivering with pain, "and I hope äorne day you will know that I had rather .ut otf my right hand than let it rob you: . There wa no reply, and the boy, for he was nt 19. walked slowly from the room, where he had been accused of crime, condemned and punished in a brief half hour. He was a widow's only son, and Very poor, but Abraham Hoyt had been very kind to him, employing him in light labor about hn extensive grounds, trying him well, and allowing him to read whatever he wished in his library. And from the library a- valuable watch and chain had been stolen from a table drawer, when there was no one as far as could be aertained, in the rom but Geoffrey Baird. Crushed, humilated almost heart-broken, tho lad walked from the house across the wide garden, bright with summer bloom thRt seemed to mock his muery. lie had his hand upon the latch of the great iron gate leading into the road, when he heard his name called, in a clear, childish voice. Jeff, Jetfl O, wait a moment 1" And then, turning his heavy eyes, he saw a fairy of 10 summers, a golden-haired darling, dressed all in white, coming down the broad. walk with flying feet. Of all the treasures hia employer possessed. Geoffrey knew this, his only child was the dearest. Motherless from her birth, she had been her father's idol her whole petted life. "Jeff" she panted, coming to his side, "you must go away, papa My s, but I know you never, never took the watch! Did you?'' "No, Mfcs Iai3y, I never took it." 'I know it! I'm going to find out who did take it. And Jeff, you must take this." She opened her tiny white hand to show lying upon the palm a broad twenty-dollar gold piece. But the boy shrank back. "No, no, Mies DaLy," he said,l can not. "But you must. It is my own, my very own. Aunt Louise gave it to me on my birthday. In the corner I scratched M. 11.' for Marg-irt Hovt, with a pin, but I guess it won't hurt it. rlease, please, dear Jeff, do take it." She pressed it into his reluctant hand and then throwing her arms around his neck, kissed him with her child lips, saying: 1 will find out who did take the watch, Jeff, and then you will come back.'' Before he could answer she was speeding back to the hou-e, her curls flying out on the pummer air that wafted to Geoffrey a last "Good-bye, dear Jeff." With a heavy heart he went homeward, to tell hia sorrow and disgrace. He feared it would almost kill his mother, but after hearing him patiently she said: "I had a letter from Albany thia morning, Geoffrey, from my father's lawyers. Twentyfive years ago my father cast me off for marrying a poor man. lie died without forgiving me but to you he ha left his fortune nearly half a million in money upon condition you take his name when you are of age. I have ;--ok.?d up your possessions, and we will go V Albany to-nigtt. "Margaret!" The voice was sharp and imperative, and Margaret Uoyt looked up from the task of teaching little Alice Bristow her letters, to unswr, but before she spoke the beautiful ho entered the school-room said. "Margaret, I want you to pome and show Elsie how to trim my dress for to-night. Everybody said you had such exquisite taste iefore your father failed and died." The pale, patient fare flushed a little at the cruel words, but Laura BrLstow did not heed the pain she had given. 'CocD now," she said impatiently; "I want to look particularly well, for Willard Wharton is coming. It U the first party since he came from Europe lie has been vegetating in Florence ever so long, with a consumptive mother: but she died a year :ago, and after traveling a while he has come Jhome.

'Mis HovV Mr. Bristow said, looking up from the cloud of tulle under her fingers. I wish you to come down to play, ana 1 wish you to wear white le ruffles and a white Ißower or two in your oair. That will not interfere with your mourning, but you will look a little less like a mute at a fune ral." To hear was to obey. Mre Bnstow was a distant connection of Mr. Hoyt's and when he died, leaving his only child to poverty, the lady impressed upon poor stricken Daisy that he was under an enormous weight or obliga tion by being permitted to be governess, lady's maid, generally useful factotum in her family. For nearly a year she had filled the unenviable position of poor relation, unsalaried, and overworked, and much of the bloom of her pure blonde beauty had left Daisy ' face. But the soft violet eyes had lost nothiag of their sweetness; the golden hair gathered into a rich knot, was full of waves and ring lets, making tiny baby curls around the delicate oval of her pale face, and the sensitive mouth was still expressive and lovely. ßbe sighed a little as she put the soft white ruflle into her black dress, and a few white flowers in her hair. "It eems like forgetting dear father," she thought, but yet she knew her appearanoo had been too gloomy for a festive occasion. Th guests were gathering, and Daisy had gone into n small sitting-room opposite the wide drawing-rooms to wait until she was iummoned to ling and play.

magazine, quite mre of being uninterrupted when the door opened, and, looking up she saw a strange gentleman. Pardon me," hesaid,"I thought this was the drawing room." Then as she lifted her face, he sprang for

ward. 'Daisy I Daisy I" he said, and not real iz ing tho familiarity of the addrrsa, she arme to treten out both bands, saying: "Jefll It is Jeff! ' "it is Jen. ne answer!, 'r ratn'r it w Willard Wharton." Then moving a chair near the one nhe had occupied, he told her of hia grandfather's legacy, and the change of name. 'Through good and ill, years of prosperity and the temptation that asaails all of us, I have carried a golden talisman, to keep my heart pure and true, that I might one day dare to bring it to your ftft," he said. And through a mist of happy tears she saw him open" a large locket hanging to hi watchchain. No mmaturo face, no lock of hair was there, but carefully set, a twenty-dollar gold piece, with M. II.' scratched with a pin in one corner. In the drawing-room Mrs. Uristow wondered what detained her hero for the evening; but when he came in lateshe read nothingof the secret that was in his happy eyes. She saw hia courteous attention to her governess, but attributed them to the inate courtesy of the young millionaire, and DaUy aang as if inspired, and threw a shower of gleeful fantasies into her waltz and galop music. But when Mfrs Hovt was a.ked lor in Mr Wharton's calls, when the stylish turnout that was the admired of all Albany stood at the door for Miss Hovt to drive, Mrs. Bristow grew savage. "You are too forward with strangers, she told Daisv. "But Mr. Wharton is an old friend. I knew him when I was a little girl, and and we are U be named in the sprine, said blushing Daisy. And considering Mr. barton s wealth and position, and his future wife's probable influence in society, Mrs. Bristow wisely mAde the best of it. and Daisv w.as provided with a trousseau and a wedding party, fur "Your great kindness to Allie," said Mrs. Bristow gracefully. Not until tbev hud ben some day mar ried did Willard Wharton say one day carelessly: "By-thebv, Daisv, was that watch ever found?" " Yes. Felix was arrested six mor.ths afterward for stealing 3ome of the plate, and in hia trunk waä the watch. Papa searched faithfully for you, but you had vanirbed a if the earth had swallowed you." 'l knew it would turn üp somewhere," said Mr. Wharton, quietly "and perhaps now it is just aa well it was missed. If I had not left in disgrace my darling might not have given me my golden talisman.' 44 In the Itottora I rawer." I saw my wife pull out the bottom drawer of the old family bureau this evening, and went softly out, and wandered up and down, until I knew that she had shut it up and gone to her sewing. We have some things laid away in that drawer which the gold of kings could not buy. und yet they are relics which grieve us until both our hearts are sore. I haven't dared look at them for a year, but I remember every article. There are two worn shoes, a little chip hat, with part of it gone, some stockings, pants, a coat, two or three spools, bits of broken crockery, a whip, and several toys. Wife, poor thing, goes to the drawer every day of her life and prays over it, and lets her tears fall upon th precious articles, but I dare not go. ixmietimes we speak of little Jack, but not often. It has been a long time, but somehow we can't get over grieving. He was such a burst of sunshine into our lives that his go ng away has been like covering our every day existence with a pall. Sometimes, when we sit alone of an evening, I writing and she sewing, a child on the ttreet will call out as our boy used to and we will both start up with beating hearts and a wild hope, only to find the darkne-s more of a burden than ever. It is still and quiet now. 1 look up at the window where his blue eyes used to sparkle at my coming, but he is not there. I listen for his prattling feet, his merry shout and his ringing laugh, but there is no found. There is no one to climb over my knees, no one to search my pockets and tease for presents. and I never find the chairs turned over, the broom down, or ropes tied to door knobs. I want someone to tease me for my knife: to ride on my shoulder; to lose my ax ; to follow me to the gate when I go, and be Ihere to meet me when I come; to call 4good night" from the little bed, now eraptv. And wife she misses him still more; there are no little feet to wash: no prayers to say, no voice teasing for lumps of sugar or sobbing with the pain of a hurt; and she would give her own life almost, to wake up at midnight and look across to the crib and see our boy there as he used to be. So, we preserve our relics, and when we are dead we hope that strangers will handle them tenderly, even if they shed no tears over them. A Public Bent-factor. Burlington Ilawkeye Corrt-spondence.

On their way back home, the bereaved husband, accompanied by the phy3ician,stepped olf the train t a dining station for a little re freshment.

Then, with a profound sigh, gazing along the wreck-strewn counter, he walked away with the air of a man who had just sacrificed himself for the good of his ft-How-men saying in tones of triumphant satiöfactior: 'There by gaull The next fellow that comes along here will get something frepb!'1 Daring: Long: Abnenee.

EVICTION IN FAMINE TIME.

A Thrilling Speotaole. The Women of Knockrickard Defying Bayonet and Sabre to Reach a Frohes Server. (I'uMin corrpotd''r.ce Loudon ?iandard. An exciting encounter has occurred between the people and the constabulary at a place called Knockrickard, near ClaromorrU, County Mayo. On Friday a process server named Langley was severely handled by the people and his processes taken from him and destroyed. He waa stripped and left nude in a field, from which hi had to make his way to the nearest constabulary barrack for clothes. In consideration of tbi out rage the authorities determined to make an effort to serve the remainder of the procc-auee on Saturday. All the available police were concentrated at Ballyglass, the nearest police barrack. Langley had been provided with copies of the stolen processes and accompanied the polico. At the village of Curry tho police wore put through a series of m&oa-uvres, even to examining their rifles aiai pouched by the sub-inspoctorB in charge (Mr. T. ö. Mci?hehy, K. M., was m command ot the whole party;, and set forward for Knockrickard. Thev had not more than a hundred yards before Langley discovered that all the processes except one hid been taken from his pocket A constable was sent back to inquire about the missing document', but his inquiries were met with mingled cheering, laughter and groans. Langley'a story about the theft is regarded with suspicion, and it is stated that the only process he retained after destroying, as is thought, the other, was for a man who had been his bitter enemy for years. At Curry thecrowd which lol lowed the police numbered about 300 men, women and Vys, but before Cregawn was reached it had increased until there could not have been less than 300 women and about the same number of men and boys. 1 1 was at this place that the constabulary met :vith the first serious opposi. tion. A small body of 33 or 40 men had been sent in advance of the main body, but they were kept at bay by about 400 women, who stood on the road leading to Knockrickard and retusod to l t them pase. The arrival of ihe maia body of the police was received witn groans and shouU of defiance, and erie of "Where is Langley?" The pr-.-oois server having been uiscvered in the midot of the police, all the women made an indiscriminate, charge with the view of securirg him and his previous burden. A scene of the wildest confusion ensued. The sub-inspectors drew their swords and rubbed into the midst of the women, mo.st of whom were barefooted and bareheaded. A young woman named Mary Fahy received a terrible gash on the back ol the hand. Another woman was wuonded bv a bayonet thrust in the arm, while several were knocked down, trampled upon, their faces blackened and their garments torn. Most of the constabulary behaved manfully under the circumstances, but a few exhibited a cruel savagery which was shocking to behold, thru ting at the brea-ts of the women with the but ends of t'ieir rifles. The charge to capture Langley was repulsed, and and the randent magistral? remonstrated with the women. "We hav a duty to perform," he said, "and though it be disagreeable we still must do it." The men in the mean time stood motionless looking on and inciting the women to resistance. A voice from the crowd cried, "We don't want to do anything to the police at all." Another person said "Every policeman had a mother like us, and they ought not to be doing the dirty work they are at to-day." A third exclaimed, "Let them stand or fire, and we will do the same.'' Mr. Mctiheehy, the resident magistrate, then said. "Retire, "now, and let us do our duty. 1 should be sorry to ee a hair of your heads hurt." A voice shouted, "We are starving; we want something to eat, and here is what we are getting " vond belief, was on the Doint of bursting rvn thr,i;lr.

The men could no longer control themselves, and rushed pat the women, and confronting the con. stabulary, shouted, "Put up your swords; we have but one life to lose, and we are now on the point of it. Better die now than hereafter of hunger." The police, however, continued their march, the women every now and again making a rusn for Langley. At a village called Uula they drew several carts across the road to impede the progress of the constabularv. At length Knockrickard was reached and a halt was made before the door of a house to be served. It was a thatched cabin with no windows. The women con gregated round the door, effectually barring nil progress. Mr. JJcSheeby appealed to them Vi allow Langley to do hia duty by posting the ejectment on the door. Several voices: "rio, never: we will die first; they may U3 ?f they wish we never let him do it." Several male voices then said: If they kill ye, others will be killed too." Mr. McSheehy said: "I sympathize with you, if I had property I would not do such a thiug. After gome further altercation the magis trate ordered the women to be removed. A scene then followed which almost baffles description, ilany of the constabulary dragged the women by the hair, threw them on the ground, and one young stripling ac tually strack with the butt end of his rifle a poor old woman. Several more received a.:. i j. ..-i v J. j I vuw uu bUC,r "U8. s" named Bridget McGorn received a deep wound on the cheek. A man named Car roll was wounded in the hand. At last the women were removed, the double line of police waa formed, and Langley posted the notice on the door. The police then left for their several stations. AARON BURR. Jackson (Miia.) Clarloa. When Colonel Burr was released under his own recognizance to appear before the supremo court of the Territory, he became the guest ot Uolonel Uenajah Usmun, a wealthy planter residing in the vicinity. He was a bachelor, had been an omoer in the New Jersey line, and intimate with Burr. Ii politics he was a hizh-strune Federalist. had been a strong partisan of John Adams, and hud no confidence in Mr. Jefferson. Near by Colonel On mun, another old military friend of similar political opinions, the veteran Major Isaac Gu on, and with these two, and other influential gentlemen, he had daily consultations. No sterner and truer patriots lived than these two veteran soldiers and they reposed unshaken faith in the friend whom they bad seen so often tested in the "time that tried men's souls:" Colonel Osmun lived at the place now owned by Dr. Stanton, ana juajor wuion reeiaeu at toe ioot oi tne II.1i" .......

of maiden loveliness. Those that saw her loved her, yet she was never conscious of the sentiment until she listened Aaron Burr. The family were Catholics, and there Colonel Burr went to meet, by ap- . a pointment, one ot his numerous agents and correspondents, the Abbe Viel, a Jesuit priet of remarkable ability. He was born in New Orleans in 1746, studied at Paris, and became a member of the Congregation of Oratory. At the dissolution of that body Dy the rrench j..vernment, he returned to lXuiaiana, and exercised the priestly function in the Parish of Attakapa3. He subse quently went to France. It is probable that Colonel Burr, in his projected invasion of Mexico, contemplated securing the influence of the religious orders and for this purpose had opened a correspondence with the abbe, and met him by appointment at his secluded homestead. At length, after canvassing his situation with Colonel 0?mun and six other confidential friencfe.Colenel Burr determined to forfeit his bond. One stormy night in February. 1807. he set forth mounted on the favorite horse of his hott. Urgent as was the necessity for ex pedition, Ciilouel Burr halted till daylight at the widow's Cottage, imploring the beautiful Madeline to be the companion of his flight. He uromised marriage, fortune, high posi tion, and even hinted at imperial honors, not realizing, even then, a fugitive and branded traitor, the crushing downfall that impended over him. The maiden had given him her heart; she had listened to hia witchery night after night, and loved him with all the fervor of a Southern nature. She would have fol lowed him to the end of the earth, and to the scaffold, and her aged mother would freely have given her to this most captivating man tor tney looked on him as a demi-god but as with most of our Southern women, the prin ciples of religion, virtue and propriety wer stronger than prepossession and passion, and , the entreaties of the accomplished libertine were firmly rejected. Baffled and disappoint ed he was compelled to proceed but. promised to return, and carried with him tne covenant and pledge of the beautiful Madeline. She was wooed bv'manV a lover. The young and gallant masters of the large plantations on Second creek and St. Catherine's strove in vain for her hand. Fortunes and the homage of devoted hearts were laid at her feet but the Maid of the Half-way Hill remained true to her absent lover the more so because of the rumors that reached her of Lis miefor une1 and his guilt. She lived on the rocolleotion of his manly beauty, and the shades he had most affected were her constanthaunts. At length, when he fled from the United States, pursued by Mr. Jefferson and the re-morpelet-s agents that swarm around power and authority when he had been driven from England, and was an outcast in Paris, shivering with cold and starving for bread he seems to have felt for the first time the utter hopelessness of hia fortune, and then he wrote to Madeline, and in a few formal words, released her from her promise Stating that he would never return to the United States, he advised her to enter a conveiA should she survive her mother. A year or two after this, she went to Havana with Mr3. W., a highly respectable lady, who then owned the property where the Christian Brothers now reside, near Hatchez. Her extreme boauty, her grace and elegance produced tho greatest enthusiasm. The hotel where they put up was besieged. If she ap peared on the balcony a dozen cavaliers were waiting to salute her. When hervolante was seen on the Pasco or the Plaza de Armas, it was escorted by the grandees of the Island. She was feted by the governor general ; serenades and balls followed in rapid succession, and the daily homage to her beauty never ceasod until the evening bell sounded the Angelus. Without surrendering her heart, or being carried away by this universal admiration, she returned to the cottage on the-IIalf-way hill, bhe was followed there by Mr. K an English gentleman, the head of the largest commercial house in Havana, and to him, on his second visit, she gave her hand. The vine-covered cottage, its trellises and borders, have crumbled into dust. The court ly lover and tho innocent maiden are long Blnc dead.

Some of the girls will make it red hot for him if he ia discovered: "Any day when you have time vou can see now sne does it Dy dropping into tne postoffice. She arrives there with a letter in her hand. It is a sheet of note in a white envelope. She halts in front of the stamp window, opens her mouth to ask for a stamp but suddenly darts away to see if she has n.tde any error in names or date3. It takes 5v0 minutes for her to make sure of this, and then she balances the letter on her finger, and the awful query arises in her mind: Perhaps it is overweight." She steps to the window and ai-ka the clerk if he ha3 a threecont stamp, fearing that ho haan't. and she looks over every compartent in her portmonnie before she finds the change to pay for it. The fun commences as she gets the stamp. She fiddles around to one side, removes her gloves, closely inspecta the stamp, and hesitates whether to 'lick' it or wet her finger. She finally concludes it wouldn't bo nice to show her tongue and weta her finger and passes it over the envelope.

'Cer tainly.' Will it go to Chicago without the name of the county on?' Just the same.' What time will it reach there?" 'To-mor row morning."

She walka up in tront ot tne six orifices, closely scans each one of them, finally makes a choice, and drops no she doesn't.

His fee tor going from his residence in Bloomsbury-square to Bow was five guin eas. Such fees are not more than would be had in tho present day by any physician of eminence; but considering the ditterence in value of money, at that time they were certainly large. Medicine, as a profession, is paid better in this country than in any other, a fact mainly owing to the higher social position which" its practitioners hold; but the average income of medical nK-n throughout this country is very much over eetimated by the public; and although the generality of medical men are infinitely better educated in the present day than they were in Kadcliffe's time, it is very questionable whether the publ!o are more liberal to them. The late accomplished Dr. Thomas Y'oung used to eay that no one should attempt to establish himself as a physician in London who had not a private fortune of o00 or 600 a year. This could not now be acceded, when a much larger number of aspirants, with equal claims to public patronage, are to be found in the ranks of physic. But the public are apt to forget, when estimating the gams of a phy sician the length of time and the expenditure incurred before any adequate income can be secured by legitimate means, and how short is the time ere fashion chaneea and new names attract the attention of capricious patients.
