TIIE LITTLE UIRL, SOW A 1Y0MAX. BT C. C. UiHX. It tu in the fall that I first met Tom MelL Father had just moved to a new home in the town of Canton, and soon after he got settled comfortably, was taken sick. "We were among strangers, and so a great deal of the care rested upon me. One evening, as I had been up every night for some time, mother told me to go to bed for a couple of hours while she sit up with father. But I had just laid down upon the lounge, nd was dozing slightly, when she stood before me and asked me to get up and give directions to a man who had come to nurse father. "lie is so deaf I can't make him hear, and so near-sighted he can't see anything. See if you can make him understand what is needed," she said. So I got up and went into father's room, and there met, for the first time, Tom Meli. He was aa pitiful a sight as I ever saw. He was sitting by the stand in a low roekingchair, rocking to and fro in an absent kind of a way, like one entirely cut off from the world.. Ilia forehead was fiat, and rather low, and his eyes had a peculiar squint common to near-sighled persons, and his noso looked as if there was a small bone in the end and the skin drawn from it to the forehead, with a slight depression in the middle. I afterwards learned it was solid, but the thin, almost transparent epidermis nerve let me fully realizo it. His hair was neatly oiled and polished, but it had a queer way of planting backward on the right side, and forward on the left. Ilia whiskers consisted of a thin, wiry moustache, and a moderately heavy crop under the chin. The side of his face and neck were deeply marked with scrofula. Just waked from sleep, I could not help smiling as I shouted the directions in his ear and in return received a low, thin answer, that might have done credit to on in the last stages of consumption. I afterward learned that at one time he had heen given up to die ofthat disease. He smiled in return, and seemed so completely taken with the idea that he smiled on all through the interview, and when he bent over me at 3 o'clock in the morning, to wake me, he was smiling still. That was our first meeting, and after the kindness shown 'is, I took pains to cultivate iiis acquaintance. At first he always touched his old straw hat when we met, and smiled that peculiar smile, but as we got more acquainted he ceased the former and I forgot to notice the latter. One evening I visited him at his room. It was up over a hardware store on Main street, and was approached by a dark entry, so filled with boxes and boards and irregular steps that it was a dangerous route for inexperienced travelers, even at mid-day. He was at supper, and, while he finished, I had an opp Ttunity to glance at his room. In one corner was a bed, made upon a couple of carpenter's tressel?, and covered with an army blanket. Opposite it was the table, which served as a boA-rack, writingdeck, medicine-shelf, dining-table, and cupboard. The front part had been cleared off, and, without a tablecloth, Tom was making a meal of bread and butter and brown sugar no meat, no vegetables, no tea or coffee. Then there was a rusty looking stove, and a very largo wood-box, a tub, and several iron pos in the corner. The wall was ornamented by a rifle, with which Tom huiTted when he had an afternoon to himself; a saw and ax, with which he earned his daily bread; a picture of a patent iron bridge; and a collection of old hats of all colors and stages of decay, and a full assortment of coats, vesta and breeches , all displayed to .advantage on the wall. The coats hung in a line with the hats, forming an elipse above them. After supper I lighted a cigar and drawing our chairs close together, in order that I might not ruin my lungs shouting and, also, that I might hear his low tones, he told me the story of his life. It was sad, and yet it was lonelier than sad. Ilia parents were not very wealthy, but were ropectable. At an early age Tom suffered from the scrofula, which injured his hearing. In all other respects he was entirely cured ot it new. Then he was taken down with consumption. In a comic manner that was pathetic, he told me of his friends consolatory visits during his sickness. How they cheered him each time with "You may get well, but you'd better be a very eood dov. Tom.'' But when he went onto re late how he left home, determined to make a living for himself, and of his struggles and failures, I felt something tugging at znv breast and' grew ashamed of what I had considered trouble. It is always so. There are in every vil lage characters that tiod baa made aa daily lessons to the unsatisfied rnes. Persons bearing such heavy burdens to manfully that we grow ashamed of our own complaining, and dare not speak of our own little crosses before them. "I have often tried to gt a little ahead ' he said, in his low, thin voice, "but it seems as if I can not. I used to think that I could Bometime get to College, andl worked hard to do so, but with being almost blind and hard of hearing, added to occasional sickness, I had to give it up." I knew Tom was considered quite a genius in his own way by the neighbors, but I had not supposed he was so ambitious, "That was the hardest cross of my life No one, unless he has gone through with it, knows bow blank it leaves a life to strive for years after something that will elevate his condition and then have it fail and know that he mutt go on all through life in the aame low position. Hut, then." he said changing hia ton- 4I read Fowler and try to be contented f "You understand Dhrenolccrv?'' 0, I can't say that I do. 1 hava read a good deal on the subject, though, and it is my favorite study. 'Why not follow it up and go out as ex aminer? That would be easier on you than working at odd jobs by the day," Xo he replied reflectively, "I couldn't, You see I've studied myself and there are two bump wanting. I've been cultivating them for two years, though, and they are getting 'active. "What are they?" 'Continuity and self-esteerx . IIa I I am afraid you will think the last is pretty well developed already I And truly, that was his failing. His lack f perseverance kept him always working round at odd jobs, instead of holding a good 4itioOj and his Jack of confidence kept him

from assuming the place he might have held, for all the neighborhood bad a good opinion of Tom's mental powers. "But 1 wanted to ask your advice about a room. I have to leave this one on Friday." 'Why not take ths one over Jones's tore? It is vacant." "That's too public; there's a female in the back room. I tell you," said he, straightening up and stretching out his hand in declamatory style, "the people of this city don't know that I sleep en carpenter's trestles, and I dn't intend that they shall. I don't mean to reflect on the bed, though," he added in an apolegetic tone, "for it's a good bed, but the people are not used tc that kind of style. Besides, there's a door between the two rooms." "That won't hurt y "Yes, 'but love, lo Pshaw I it wouldn't evon grin at ten-penny nails, and if one ot thoe women should get struck after me there would be no help for me!" 'There's the room over the Post-office''' "But there is a family up there also," I suggested, ''and what is worse, they would have to go through your room to get out.' 'That's so," he said, as he thoughtfully hugged his knees; "but then I might build a pipe and run 'em through that!' the ludicrous idea of Tom Meli, out of fear of a female, building a huge pipe through his room, and then calmly sitting by his fire while the enemy crawled through over Lis head was too much for me, and 1 laughed until the windows rattled. "That is always the way," said Tom; "1 never know whether people are laughing at what I say or at me." Going home one stormy evening about a month after this, I passed by the village Church, of which Tom was eexton. 1 saw the outer door was open a little way, and hearing the sound of the organ, went in; for I know Tom's habit of passing the long evenings in the Church breathing out truer hymn of praise than were often heard there. I opened the inner door quietly and walked up the aisle and took a seat, unseen and unheard. I had often heard Tom play, but never when he seemed so free as now, when he thought himself alone alone with God. I had attended many concerts where our best musicians gave us Beethoven and Handel and Haydn; but I had never heard any music that seemed to come from the soul as his did that night. The burdens af a life of sorrow were being rolled away in the darkness and borne up to Codi The storm gathered and broke, rain foil, and the thunder shook the windows of the Church; but Tom was all unconscious of

it. As for the noise, i doubt if he even heard it; and as for the darkness, blind people do not mind that. So I sat down quietly, and, between the out bursts of the storm, from away up in the darkness came down to me the note of the organ. Nothing at all was visible. "When I entered he was playing the Te Deum, and I would feel that his soul was in every note, and although there was no human voice, yet I knew that solemn praise was going up to God. A tender feeling stole over me there in the darkness, as I sat listening to the deal and blind one, cut off from the pleasures 1 had just come from, and his solitary amusement. What burdens, what heart aches, were here being soothed and borne away! I fancied "angels and archangels and all the Heavenly host" were joining with him in praise of "the Father." The anthem died away; and then, without a pause, he commenced that grand old hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee I Nearer to Thee!" I would like to have remained there longer, but just as the last notes of the hymn were lost in a dimuendo, a bright flash of lightning illuminated the whole Church for au instant, and Tom, seeing me, called out: "Why, hello! you here? I didn't see you," and came down from the organ. He would not play any more so wo sat and talked until the storm was over. As usual, his theme was phrenology. I tried to get him to analyze my character. I wanted to see how much he knew, but he would not. "I don't think I could," he said, "I always wait until I see a man do something and then I think of the bump. I can't look at the bump and then tell what he will dot I haven't got that far along yet." "Then I will give you an example. I met a young lady the other day Miss Mamie Crowell you are well acquainted with her. What is she like?" 'I'd rather not talk about her," Tom said. shortly. "That interests me, Tom. Go on." "I might as well tell you, I suppose, but you must not mention it. She has had a pretty hard time of it wa3 engaged and the match broken up. It isn't talked of now, but I will tell you; only you must keep it quiet. You see there was something the matter I don't know whtt. The two were together for two yean and then the lover letu AH 1 know is that he loved her and she loved him, but they can never be mar ried." "How do you know?" "The man was satisfied." "And she loved him?" "Yes." "Where is he now?" "In South America. She told him to co so far away she would never hear of him again. It was best, and he did so. Who was it?" "My brother." How stupid I had been in bo drawing Tom out when I knew ho had a brother down in the other end of the Continentl I felt as if I had gone too far already, and so remained silent. "She loved him," Tom went on, more to himself than to me. "She loved him, and ehe will never marry again. A woman never loves but once. A second love with them isn't real love, and Mamie is too much of a woman to crive anvthintr else too a man. Neither one was to blame. They had to part, and so they did. That u all I know." One night Tom was sick, and I was by his bed. We had no light, and the twilight made him confidential or perhaps it was his wandering mind. "There was a little girl once, Charlie," he said, as he lay on his rough bed in that rough little room. " V e used to play to gether. And one afternoon, I remember, we played keeping-house, and I was the man and she was my wife. O, but I was happy! I often think of that afternoon. She talked then of living together when we "got big." But that will never be. This sickness came soon after, and now I am nearly deaf and blind. No one wants to be with me. It's a lonely life, Charlie. No one feels the want of a home as I do, and I am entirely cut off from one. Sometimes I feel that if that little girl, now & young woman, would only come into my room once, if she would sit "down by my bed, as you are sitting, my life would bo happier afterward. Onlyno visit would do. The old room wouldn't look so lonesome if she had been in it once. I have given her up. But I love her I love her. It seems as if the wider apart we drift, the more my thoughts turn to her and that one afternoon." I had never thought of Tom having any such memories before. It was hard enough, God knows, to live as he had to, I had thought of it; and hoped that he had no such day dreams to make him think of any other kind of life. He did not tell me of the "little girl now

a woman," and I did not ask him. But as I sat in the twilight by his side, 1 thought of poor Tom meeting her, perhaps daily, upon the street. Of his thoughts and the rush of bitter-sweet memories as he did so. Of the two, now separate, going their own ways in life. She, perhaps courted by another one; at least enjoying all the pleasures of society, while he, poor Tom, was cut off from them entirely, having only for himself the dreamlike memory of a long ago summer afternoon, and, as he meets her, the woman becomes the little child again, and the little girl changes again into the woman young and fair, and now his wife. I sat and watched him in silence, and I knew that in my place by his side he waa dreaming another one was sitting, one who if she would come, but for a moment, would do more for poor Tom than anything in the world. Foor Tom was dying. I had been by his side for a w.ek doing what I could to make him easv. I was alone most of the

time, for each of us wished it. On Sunday night he was more restless than usual. ' 'Charlie, I want to see her before I die; can't you bring her to me?" -Who is it, Tom?" 'I've never told you. I didn't want to. But now I must see her. I haven't talked to her for eight years. It will do no good we could never be more to one another but I want that little hand in mine when I die. We have been apart so long, so long, Charlie." "Is she good and kind; will she come? You know this is hardly a fit place for a lady." "Yes she will come if you ask her. She is good and true, or I would have forgotten her long ago. But, if she were not, I should like to see the little girl Mamie." I got my hat, and prepared to go upon his errand. "Waoi3it, Tom?" Mamie Crowell. You know it all now. She loved my brother but they were parted. 1 couldn't help loving her still, but I kept it secret. Oh, Charlie, you understand all the loneliness of my life now." I went out and left him alone. I met Miss Crowell on her way to Church, and she came back with me. I opened the door and let her pass in. Thon I turned away. At last poor Tom's dream was true. His loneliness was over. For a short time, as he had often wished, Mamie was with him. I believed in her as truly as Tom did. I knew she would sit down by him and lay her hand in his, although she would perhaps only dimly guess at the truth. She did not love him as he wished, yet hers was also as sad a life; she would feel for him, and perhaps the woman's heart in her would tell her that, to him, this twilight was a repetition of that summer afternoon so long ago. And to him to have her in his room with him once again was enough. I walked along the streets for half an hour and then returned. Tom was lyijg upon the bed with her hand in his. There was a sad look upon Mamie's face, but Tom was smiling. He was dead. Another life has gone to God a life, weary, and sad, and lonely. But the passing was made happy by the little girl, now a woman, and by the old dream of love and happiness lived over agnin for a brief halfhour. A SACRIFICE TO SAVE IIIS WIFE. Ills Arm Ottered and the Skia Successfully Transplanted. Pblladelphia Time. About five weeks ago Mrs. Wilson, who resides with her husband, Solomon Wilson, at No. 0331 South street, was dangerously burned. Ä scene of suffering ensued, all the fleshy parts of Mrs. Wilson's back and limbs being almost roasted. Dr. McLean, whose services were called in, exerted himself to the utmost, applying the most approved remedies, but so great was the agony she endured that her reason tottered and her life was despaired of. Mrs. Wilson is the mother of five little children, all of whom were removed to the residence of her brother, Mr. Jasnar, while her husband and friends gathered around her bod. x or long weeks she lingered, with out intermission of agony or apparent improvement. Iast "W edncsday Dr. McLean informed Mr. V llson that it would be ab solutely necessary to transplant live flesh to the parts where tissues had been destroyed, and Professor Levis was called in, who decided in favor of the operation. Although her mind was wandering Mrs. V uson ap peared to have some idea that a painful experiment was impending, and screamed to the Doctor to take away the lancet, although he had not displayed, nor indeed at the time spoken in her hearing of any instrument, but her nervous exhaustion was so great that it was considered unsafe to cut the flesh required from her own person. Dr. Levis asked Mr. Wilson if he was willing to submit to the painful process of furnishing the flesh from his arm. "Certainly," said Mr. Wilson, "if it takes ray whole right arm, cut it off from the shoulder, to 6ave my wife." Mr. Wilson bared and extended his right arm while Dr. Levis, with his assistant and Dr. McLean, cut ten pieces of skin, a quarter of an inch square, from its upper surface and transplanted them into the back of Mrs. Wilson. During the whole operation Mr. Wilson never moved a muscle nor showed sign of the pain that he suffered, while it ' required the strength of six women to hold Mrs. Wilson as the delicate transfer was made. Aftor the operation was finished the patient seemed more comfortable, the brain trouble gradually subsided and she is now in a fair way to recover. The self-sacrificing fortitude of Mr. Wilson is the more remarkable because of the fact that for two years past his health has been failing. What to Do With Our Daughters. Teach them self-reliance.

THE OLD (j EX TLE MAX'S STOßT. A Stag Party Snowed Up An OldFashioned Brid. New York Tims Talk about your jeux de societe, charades and all that kind of thing a lot of people spinning out verses aad making silly rhymes and pray, what is the use of it? My mother before her marriage, had a pretty education good enough for any woman God bless her soul! I am talking about, maybe, seventy-live, eighty years ago. She could paint a flower and make a shirt ye?, madam, and play Mozart and cook a pudding, and do every one of them well. There was not that sham semblance of education as it exists to-day there was the reality. If there had happened any vicissitudes of fort'ine she could have gone out into the world and taken care not only of herself but even of other. When she was married thatwa3 in 1817, (Lord bless nie only

two vears alter tne Dattie oi water loo I) my father and mother went on their wedding tour South, and were to spend a month on a plantation belonging to some relatives near Charleston. There was just such a winter then as it has been this year. In 1812 my father nearly died from exposure during the war, and had to be nursed for years afterward. Well, they started, and were snowed up somewhere this side of ltichmond, and had to stay at a wy-side tavern for almost a week. In the stagecoach there were three other passengers. One of them was a Spanish gentleman, on his way (so he said) to Charleston, whence he was to take shipping to Cuba. The tav ern was just on one of the spurs of that hilly country where the Blue Ridge divides Virginia, and was as isolated as an Ksquirnaux village in Greenländ. Here was a nice to do. Father was taken ill and could not be moved. The party were snowed in, ajd the poor people who kept the house only a baiting place for wagonershad really nothing to eat. Though the parties in the stage coach were quite unknown to one another, they were perfectly willing to contribute each his services to the general welfare. One was a first officer of a ship then at Richmond, loading with flour for South America; the other was a Boston man, in the dry goods business. It was my mother who organized the party. In the tavern there was meal, but not enough meat to feed one person for a day, and then as to the meal, the horses to the stage four of them had to be fed, for there were neither oats nor hay. There were, besides, two negro servants in the tavern, the driver .f the stage, but, what was worse, Irom the the cold, the driver's hands and feet so frostbitten that he was laid up. Where be was of some advantage was in his knowledge of the country. lhe Spanish gentleman showed a great deal of good judgment, and declared himself to be my mother's Lieutenant. A horse was saddled, and the Spanish gentleman sent out to forage, while mother took everything in charge. The old man and his bed-ridden wife ,who kept the house, abdicated entirely. There was plenty of money, of course, as the Spanish gentleman was profuse with his gold ounces. Starting out in the morning of the first day in the heavy snow, on a tour of exploration, he was expected back at nightfall. But anxious hours elapsed and he did not return. The Boston man was sent out on another horse to follow his tracks. At lust, at nightfall, they both came back. The Spaniard had sunk exhausted on the snow, but had first tied his horse to a tree and hung on a branch a basket of provisions which he had bought somewhere. My mother had providentially 6ent out a bottle of brandy, some of father's stores, with the Boston man, and that had revived the Don. Then, my father having been put to bed in the only room that wa. habitable, theparty ensconced themselves in the kitchen. The negro servants were made to bring in the wood; fortunately there was enough of that. There was nothing to cook in but a skillet, a boiler and a Dutch oven; but my mother went to work. Out of chaos she brought order. The ship's Captain was invaluable. He found a young porker in the pen attached to the house, and he killed it and dressed it. Remember, there were ten people to take care of, and the four horses. Every day the Don would go out with a gun and try and get some game, but nothing was to be had. Now, the nearest house was eight miles away, and could only be reached through great drifts of snow quite impracticable for a joacb. 'The Captain made a sledge out of an old bed, big enough to hold two, and with the Don they drove to that neighboring farmhouse and brought home enough food of its kind meal, bacon and potatoes to last the family for the week, but the first trip of the Don had exhausted their chickens. All the horses save one had been carried to the neighbor to take care of. My father the third day got better as did the driver, through the careful nursing of my mother. Then the passengers, their troubles being over, had a right merry time of it. On the fifth day a party arrived, sent out by the anxious stago proprietors, to discover what had been the fate of the coach and the passengers. Instead of finding a famished and starving set of people, they found a merry party enjoying them6elve.i. The succoring party had of course brought a good stock of provisions. My mother, father has often told me, determined to have a parting banquet of the grandest character, and having cooked the whole dinner for some fourteen people, appeared herself at the table in the best dress she had io her trousseau. She was a beautiful woman, as wu may see from her miniature painted by Durand, which I shall show you. Father has often told me that it was the happiest of dinners, and that mother sang to them in her own sweet voice some simple ballads of the day and that right then and there a solemn friendship was sworn among them all, the driver included. It was fully a week from the time they were snowed in before they started again on their journey. I only bring this forward as a sample of how useful handiness and a knowledge of cooking is. I can't tell you about the rest of the part, but the Don kept up his acquaintance with my father and mother for many years. Soma six months afterward my father, received from Havana a thousand cigars of that famous kind which only a former generation smoked. As to my mother, she had a very beautiful bracelet sent her, for our Don was no less a person than the son of the Lieutenant-Governor of Cuba. He went back to Spain afterward and headed three or lour revolutions mere ana aiea some imny years ago. My dear madam, excuse all this description ot what took place at the leginning of this century in a Virginia wayside tavern; but do you really think any one of those nico young girls, who had been acting that charade in such a pleasant way, with a little soupcon of the Bernhardt manner, would be very useful if they were placed in such straits as I have been telling you about? Just as like.y, when they fet married, it is their husbands who will ave to take care of them, not they their husbands. There is too much flummery about the girls of to-day; they are to elaborate; and mind you, the shipwrecks caused by fortune are rather more frequent in 1881, I think, than they were in my younger time." , Being Fertonnl and Funny. IDon Piatt. While correspondent, years since, of the Cincinnati Commercial, I laid my seif out, to use a common expression, to entertain the readers ol that journal, &ad I catered to

the depraved tastes of the public in being personal and funny. It was then quite new to take a solemn old Senator or a pump of a Cabinet officer and hold him up to the ridicule and contempt ot the vulgar multitudes. I was riding one morning in the cars in Ohio, when a boy came in with the daily papers. There was a general demand for the Commercial, and my vanity was excessively tickled to note that one and all turned first to my letter. Two rather sensible-looking commercial bummers were in a seat in front of me, and one purchased the Commercial and opened it The other said: "Read D. P.; let us see who he's after now." The fellow road aloud, nnd the two enjoyed the letter hugely. They laughed, reread and commented. This, I thought, is fame. The comfort was of short duration. The reader hiid down the paper, and wiping his eyes, said : "I wonder what the damned foul will sav next?" I looked out at the sunny landscape, that seemed to be waltzing byusaswespedalonjr. and mused upon the hollow mockery and vanity of human wishes. UELIClur NOTES AND INCIDENTS.

Six Presbyterian pulpits in Chicago are vacant, and another is likely to become so soon. There are :;, 000,000 of Christian comiiiunicauts in England and Wales. The average Sundav attendance at places of worship is $10,000,000. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of NewYork ropoits a Catholic tiopnlation of W000. There are V1 secular and 120 regular priests, UK) churches, thirty-nine chapels and twenty-five stations. The Roman Catholic Society for the Propagation of the Faith received $1,200.000 in 1S7!. Of this Franco gave $s;J2,00: Germany. $132,000; Belgium, $j7,y00; Italy, $01.0t.i0; Ireland, $13."0; England, $y,ö0, and the United States, $7,100. Three years ago there was only one Church of the Presbyterian name, with nine members, in all Southeastern Dakota. Now, in one County, Moody, there are fourteen Churches, ten ordained ministers, and four Church buildings in process of erection. The following incident, related by a member from the Black Hills, as having occurrrd at a Yankton Church, may be true, but lacks confirmation: "But I pass," said the minister in dismissing one. theme of the subject to take up another. "Then I make it trades!" yelled a member of the Committee on Char itable and Penai Institutions from Northern Dakota, who was dreamily engaged in an imaginary game of euchre." He went out on the next derfl, assist ei by a bald-headed Deacon with a full hand of clubs. Slightly sarcastic was the clergyman who paused and addressed a man coming into Church after a sermon had begun, with the remark: "Glad to see you, sir; come in; always glad to see those'here late who can't come early." And decidedly surprised was the man thus addressed in the presence of an astonished congregation, as he responded: "Thank you; would you favor me with the text?" Dr. Ilroadu.", an old Baptist parson famous in Virginia, once visited a plantation where the darkey who met him at the pate asked him which barn he would have his horse put in. "Hare you two barns?" asked the Doctor. "Yes, sar," replied the darkey, "dar's de ole barn, and Mar's Wales has ies build a new one." "Where do you usually put the horses of clergymen who call to see your master?" "Well, sah, if dey's Methodis's or Ilaptis's, we gen'ally put 'em in de ole barn, but if dey's 'Piscopals we put era in de new one." "Well, Bob. yon can put my horse in the new barn; I'm a Baptist, but my horse is an Episcopalian." l'olitenefts and Honesty Pay. The following story of ex-Tlovernor Grimes, say.c the UurlinRton llawkeye, is vouched for by one who knows him well: The Legislature had just convened at the capital of Iowa. Governor Grimes had arrived the night before and taken rooms at a certain hotel. A young aspirant for office from a distant part of the State also drove up and alighted from his carriage at the steps of the same hotel. The hostler threw olT his trunk, and the landlord conducted him to his room, leaving the trunk in the bar-room. Wishing his trunk, the young man demanded to have it brought up, and, seeing a man passing through the lower hall whom he took to be the porter, he gave his commands in an imperious and lofty tone. The order was obeyed, the man charging a quarter of a dolfar for his services. A marked quarter, that was good for only twenty cents, was slipied slyly into his hand, and was put into his pocket by the man with a smile. "And now, sirrah!" cried the new arrival, "vou know Governor Grimes?" "O yes. sir." "Well, take my card to him and tell him I wish an interview with him at his earliest convenience." A peculiar look flashed from the man's blue eyes, and. with a smile, extending his hand, he said: 'I am Governor Grimes, at your service, sir." "You I that is, my dear sir, I beg a thousand pardons!" "None needed at all, sir," replied ftovernor Grimes; "I was rather favorably impressed with your letter, and had thought you well suited for the office specified. Put, sir, anj man who would swindle a workingman out of a paltry five cents would defraud the public treasury had he an oppor tunity. Good evening, sir." An Unfortunate Answer' Lucien Young's noble action, a few years ago, in saving several lives from a wrecked vessel, says the Richmond llcgister, will be remembered; also the action of the Kentucky Legislature in publicly recognizing his services. A few weeks since he was in Frankfort, and while there visited the Penitentiary, where he met Sam Holmes, confined for the murder of Colonel Napier. Y'oungand Holmes were boys together at school, and fast friends. Younc was preatly moved by Holmes' unfortunate condition, and determined to make an effort for his release. To this end he called on the Governor and made an earnest appeal for a pardon. Governor Blackburn relented, and the pardon w as made out and signed. With the document in his pocket, Young hastened back to the prison to tell the good news to his friend. Before telling him, however, that he had come to make him a freeman, Young quietly commenced a conversation, and, after talking awhile upon other subjects, finally said: "Sam, if you were turned loose and fully pardoned what would be the first tiling you would do?" The convict very quickly responded: "I would go to Lancaster and kill Judge Owsley and another scoundrel who was a witness against me." Young uttered not a word, but turned mournfully away, went outside the prison walls, took the pardon from his pocket and tore it into fragments.
