TOD'S "E W LEI P. There was a storm brewing. Daly one y&ir of eyes ti takes rota of it, but th.e winds, like heralds, were scurrying ia advance with breathless Laste to announce th3 tew?. Those eyes The rerest of things blue, The bluest of things grey." belonged to a elender youcs: woman from Hanachuaetta. She was a school-ma'am, and iv aa making a venture in this new land for the sake of a weak and visionary brother,who had strayed off into California with come vaeue idea of Unding a royal road to fortune through the gold fields. All the morning she bal been watching the rangM of grand old peaks as they swung out of the golden mist into the sunshine. IIow they defied their c!oud-caps before that mightier monarch! IIow the snow-shields glittered in the sun, till it seemed io her romantic fancy as if the golden wealth within were breaking into view I The Overland stage had swung on "f it hours amid these battlemented hills, with their plumy pinea and purpia distances and flashing mountain streams. "Bob, do you sea?" she whispered, "It's a wild place for a storm.'' The burly Californian ia the corner a wild-looking rufü&n, for all ho wore a revolver in his belt took a survey. ''Storm it is!" ho growkd,"and a rouser! But don't bo afeerd. Them hoeses knows wot o'clock it is in gineral." The next moment the f ky darkened suddenly, as if a pall had been let down before the sun; then a zigzag streak of lightening tr.re through the blackness, and rain bagan to fall no gentle summer rain, but torrents, as if poured from a water-spout. In vain they htld down the curtains over the windows. An angry hand seemed to tear at them frantically, and the storm appeared to find an insane delight in buffeting them. It eeemed as if it would lift tho very rocf cUthj stage. They could hear the driver reasoning with his horses in very emphatic language. Come up, you old moke! Now, eld ram shackle! aint their light enough? Keep ia the read if ycu den t want to break yer thundarin necks i" and so on with more highly flavored epithets. A fctout old lady, with a cranberry complexion and three chins, bestired herself at this juncture. She had a bandbox on her lap, and water had trickled through the leaky roof upon it. "I aint had a new bunnit in five year," she mcaned. "The company oughtar be prosecuted. If Brown was livin', he'd maka 'em pipe' Brown wis a metier, he wa! Peaceable! bless your heart! he went in for peace. If ho couldn't git it, he licked everybody all round. This 'ere roo 's a disgrace! Brown wculd let daylight into somebody if he" "When I owned tho Bald Eagla and Amelia Jane,' heered of that mine, stranger?began the Californif n. Bob Switzer, a somewhat lank young man in ' store clothes," with a handsome face, soft, wcmani&Q eyes and a weak, irresolute mouth, roused himcelf with a show ot interest. Why, do you own that?" he asked. MI did own it before gold was discovered cn it" "Ohl ah!" said Bob. Them was the day?! I could have Thought the Golconda for a pair of new fcoots." "Why didn't yju?' "Hadn't the boots," said the man, with a sigh. "That's my luck; I'm. allers too soon, or too late. Tell ye what, this 'ere problem of destiny is a hard nut to crack. How soma folks jest skim the cream off f existence, and ethers git the skim-milk! Hullo! wot's that?' The stage had stopped with a ja'k. The rain was r.ot falling so fact and the pall hal lifted a little. They heard the driver call cut, "Hello! ' The light of the lantern fell cn a ttrargo figure that seemed to have started out of the ground, or fallen with tha rain, so unexpected was its appearance. "Nelly Switzer looked at this forlorn b3ing with a thrill of pity stirring her heart. It was a tall, bony, gawky youth of seventeen, who appeared to siink away from the inquiring eyes that were fixed upon him. Xo "drowned rat" could have been wettr. Um faded hair clung in damp masses about his lantern jaws; his pale blue eyes had a hunted look, and at the same time a mute, pathetic appeal. Ha eeemad unable to speak. Stout Mrs. Brown looked out also, and s'di, with a sort cf gasp, ,4For the land's sake! why, it's Tod!1' The poor creature gave her a nut's glance cf gretitude. It seemed a toon to him that any human being should condescend to recognize him. ""Wctever was you a-doin' of, Tod?" askf d Mrs. Brown, sternly. "I wos s-walkin'f" faltered the youth. "Where to?" "To the jampin'-o2Fpl&c9, if I could find it. I was a-gom' to jump off!'" he s&ii in, such a tore of dull despair that Nelly Switzer's kind little heart ached for him. Get ia here; there is room," she f aid. "Well, wall I it's liVe taking in a small rivulet. It's gting to dear; better let him walk," said Bob. "He aint no account. He's the most orrariest critter," began Mrs. Brown. But Nelly was making room, and then locking into the face ef the boy who was evidently dazed by her kindness, she reached cut a little gray gloved hand. Come, Tod," she sali, cheerily. "You can sit by ae." It seemed to Ted as if tie face of an angel ltd suddenly shone like a star out of tao darkness of tin etorm. Ha took caurago to ekinor In, and sat shivering at .Nelly' tide, a very moist, unpleasant body ini'S'ji.

too; why, you couldn't leave him alone with a cold potato!" "Puor boy I" answered Nelly, with a divine pity in her sweet face. "Ilia case must be hard indeed." And ail the rest of the way her mind was taken up with plans for this home heathen that had been thrown in her way. Kather vague and misty were the ideas that floated in her brain, but they all merged in one rertlve: she would help thi3 wretched being as far as possibla. "Here we are!" cried Bob, exultantly. Pretty fair for situation; plenty of room to ip:ead out, eh, Neil?" The young girl gazed out on a town that looked as if it had been thrown upon the side of the hill, and as if all the houses were sliding down. Every street was a terrace, and one grew breathless at the way they climbed up the mountain-side. J5ut from this airy route Nelly saw the gray head of Mt. Davidson, and a fair range of glittering snow-capped peaks, a rueged canyon that clove through ranges of veraent hilis and gave glimpses of softlytinted spaces a silver thread ot a liver winding among fringing trees, and a lake that glowed and burned "like a fallen sun." Mrs. Brown's house was better than Nelly had dared to hope. There were even flowers in the garden gay ones scarlet salvias, and rank upon rank of vivid gladoli, like soldiers formed for battle. "A few flowers do light up a place so," said Mrs. Brown. "Some folks runs all to cabbages and 'taters, but Brown always said I'd got senterment inter me. Now, no one kin beat me at raisin' salvias and apitoonias ef I does say it xnvself, as shouldn't say it." Nelly did not even smile at the old lady's singular nomenclature, she was so absorbed in the problem, ""What should be done with Tod?" The boy had clambered down from the coach when she did, as if he belonged to her, and now stood with his eyes fixed upon her, nis teeth chattering, and all the symptoms of a heavy chill upon him. "I see ycu have a barn," she said, with some relief. It was warm, delicious weather, and thera was a chance of making the poor boy comfortable with a good bed of fresh hay. Mrs. Brown scented danger. "Yes, there's

a barn," she laid, grudgingly. She did not want to offend her new boarder, to whom she had taken a fancy. "That will do splendidly," said Nolly. "We will keep the poor fellow till he's better. Bob's cot a cast-off suit and I'll" "Settle for his board, I s'pose," an3werel Mrs. Brown, grimly. "As for nufsin' that wagrant not if I " knows myself! You're young and not used to imp ersition, miss, but if ever there was a limb cf Satan people's a-eayin' now that there's no sich a person, butdn'tyoa believe it he'll cheat you and" "Kever miad, Mrs. Brown; I'll tike all rifk," said Nelly, with dignity, "if you will let me have a few old comfort ablos." "Lor, miss! I'm charitable," said Mrs. Brown, anxioudy. "I aint a nether millstone, and don't you forget it. I've got a lot of rubbish that I was goin' to sell the rag-man, and you kin have it, if you want it." So before Nelly made herself comfortable in her tew quarters, she arranged things for the sick youth, with Bob's help, somewhat grudgingly given. That younz man had never found himself disturbed in the slightest degree by the woes and wants of others, and he looked upon his sister's devotion to this waif as a sort of weak womanish craze, that he was bound as a superior being to indulge and overlook. And in time poor Tod left the region of the actual and real, where he had found such h?rd lines, and roamed about in the feverland of delirium, which he seemed to find a land flowing with milk and honey, or rather a field of rich nuggets ant interminable pockets, where he discovered gold and grew rich and happy. His dreams, of course, took local coloring from the surroundings of his life, and seemed harmless enough. It was almost a pity whea they disappeared, and left him only his cold, bard, mesgre real life once more. He scarcely seemed to care to raise himself again to assume the burden that had been so hard to bear. "'Taint no manner of use," he wouli say to Nelly, whese slightest word or look was to him a law, Ma beginnin' again. There aint no place here for me; I'm ne too many, I am." "But if you begin differently," urged Nelly. "Turn over a new leaf. God has some work for ycu to do, or you would not be in the world." ''Lor, miss! I wouldn't be hsre if I could a-helped it; and the best thing Icoulda-done wold a-bin to have handed ia my checks ia that tear fever." 'Ycu are a boy yet," said Nelly. "You don't know what you might do if you would reiolve to begin right. Say to yourself, 'I will te honctt, f,-r' " "For your eake," interrupted tho boy, with a ttrange glow iu his pale eyea. 'for God's sake that is bettor," answered Nelly, with a smile. "Wei J," rather dubiously. "He sent me to you!" exclaimed Nelly. "Is that so?" "You must resolve never to tell a lie.'' "Oh, Jerucalem! now you've stumped me! why, 'taint in natur' cn't ba did. Live without ljin'! Lor, miss! it's wot they call the staple cf bizjess!" But it has not been profitable to you, my poor boy. Suppose you try the truth for a change, and see how it work?. I'll help you, and my brother wiP, too." "It's a wenter, it is,' answered Tod, as if he was attempting a voyage in unknown sea?; "but I'll try I will!" And Nelly was forced to accept this somewhat doubtful rasu.lt a3 the sum ef her achievement in missionp.ry effort. But when, a week or two after, Tod, clothed in one of Bob's suit, was cn the eve of departure with that erratic young man to some new gold field, he said, with asirtof awkward hujh tbfit concealed the trembling of his voice "I'm a-gola' to turn over that new leaf now, Mi;-s Nelly, a spick and spaa onr, and it won't have a singla lie wrote enter it!" The words choc-red Nelly eoiaewhat in the loneliness that followed. Her daily toil was unpromising enough, but she tried to feel that, as she was only sowing seed, and in very Fterilo soil, she must not look for bud or b'o?Eom, much less for fruit, at once. She heard teldem from Bob, but he seemed prospering. He had found a new "pard," as he called him a man who seemed to have ecmo shrewdnocs; but Nelly had doubts about his being a very edifying companion for her brother. However, they were making money together, and Tod was serving thtm like a slave. She was weary and lonely enough, but nature was a perpetual feast to her, and she olten found herself, after a tiresome day at tbe itbcol, tnking in courage and vigor from tho everlasting hi':l that stretched about her. MI vill look unto the hills from whence rtireth my help," she murmured. "Ah, IIh knew tie heart. Haw stead iast and lraiiiovable things kelp us, even in tha mors ccutemp'atioii, amon the chances of this rr.ortal life." It wts ( d a sunshiny November day that she itocd with this thought ia her m'nd,

the soltly tinted valley with its silver ribbon of a river. Suddenly she was startled by a gruff "Ahem!" Turning, she faced a rough-looking man in "stogy" boots, blue military shirt and wide-awake hat. She did not recognize him at first. "Don't twig, I see, mi33. I come up with yer in the stage feller that owned 'Bald Eagle and Amelia Jane. Savvey?' Nelly recollected, and ssid, wondaricgly, ' Oh yes; how do you do?" Ob, swimmin' oh. Fine day aint it eh? wot I call a reg'lar galumptious diy. I ay, heard from yer brother?" Nelly felt a preeontimont of trouble. "No; what is it?" she ghp3d. "Well, he'a in a sorter difficulty. Pari slcpod with bis gold. Naterally Bob sloped arter bote. Pard found killed Bsb's nabbed and" Nellie felt herself growing coll from head to foot, but her pulses were batting loud and laat. "Bob arrested for murder?'' That's about the sbape of it." nodied the ether. "Ho wanted some oiiO to break it to yer.kinder mild-like, and I told him I was the man. Thought he'd like to say gooi by to yer afore" "Oh. what will they do? He isn't guilty, ot crurse thev can't prove it! they dare not!'' "They're no slouches; they'll git all the evidence they want, and well he's a goner. I'm sorry, miss. I've dene my part haint I? Your own mother couldn't a-broko it to yer mere gentle like, now, could she?" The solid earth seemed sliding from beneath Nelly's feet. The steadfast hills, even, had loosened from their mooring, and were slipping into a sort of vaporous gdlf. But she must be firm she had work tj do. How she did it she never know. All seemed chaos till late the next day, whea she alighted from the stage at Black "Water Gulch, and stood a moment looking desolately about her. Then she saw one whom sbo Knew 6aring at her, and who, when he saw that he was recognized, moved towards her. Ted!" she cried, with a feeling of relief. "All right. Miss Nelly. Djn't feal bad; he aint goin' to be sont up the fl ame yet." The boy's face wa3 ve,ry haggard anc white. "Whst's his chance?" gaspad Nellie. "Can anything be done!'' "I'm 8-goin' to do it." "O Tod!" exclaimed Nelly incredulously, 'how can you?" "Cos I knows how it's all come to me!" Tho burden lifted itself a little from Nelly's aching heart. And they are sure to find tha man?" shd cried. "Sure's you live! "Why, ha's here!" Oh. gc go at onca!" she exclaim 3d, im pati'-.tlj." "Yes," ha answerci, slowly, and with a sort oi dumb appeal ia his eyes. "Oh, I'm goin' fait enough! You you couldn't be happy if an j thin' happened to yer brother, I reckon?" "Go; it would kill me!" cried the girl, with pi rdonable exaggeration. "All right I'll gol Good-by, MU3 Nelly shake hands. Good-by! Kemembar, Mifs Nellie, I was werry grateful and thanked ycu allera from my heart." "But you're coming back with Bob?' she questioned. -Well no; likely I'll be detained," said Tod. "But I'll write; I kia print, you know." And Nelly watched the shambling figure till it was out of sight, with a strange tremor at her heart, She coxld not rest, and for hours she walked up and down without ceasing. "What a day that was! In the evening a change came. Bob! Tod was not with him. ""Who would have thought he had pluck for such a thing. "He! "Who?" "Why, Tod, of course. He was so excited at my loss, faithful eld chap! that he probably took vengeance into his own hands; he's given himself up. He went to the offi cers and asKed. them to execute the law on him." "O Bob! can't anything be done?" "No; I'd give all I've got to get him off." It was too true! there was no hope, not even a chance, to eea the unhappy boy. Pcor, poor Tod ! who wculd have thought that the first blot upon the new leaf waild have been caused by such a crime? Nelly was completely overwhelmed. She wculd not hear of leaving town, although it was terrible to be there and unable to help. Bat she was permitted to send the poor boy little gifts of fruit and messages of affection and sympathy. At las-t a rough man came with a scrap of thick paper, loosely folded. Nelly knew that all was over, and her eyes were so full of tears she could hardly read the great printed worCs: '"When you read this, poor Tod will ba done lur; no more new leaves fur him. I aint of no account, an' you sot the world by him. They woa bound to hang somebody, and I'm proud to die for you." "Bob' said Nelly, "you know nothing1 of the crime, except that Tod gave himself up to satisfy the law?" No." "Let me tell you my story." Nolly related all her experience with Tod amid tears, and then asked, "Do you believe tbat Tod was guilty. He gave himself up to save you for my sake. He thought it noble. He was so un instructed that he could hardly have felt the wrong he was doing to himself if he acted a false part." The question was not answered by Boh. It has never been by any one. Poor Tod! There are hearts in the roughest natures. Gcd knows all. A Soldier's Orare. Break not his sweet repose Thou whom chance brings to this sequestered ground, The sacied yard his ashes close, But po thy way in silence; here no sound Is ever hearltut from the murmuring pines, Answering the sea's near raurmur; For yej kere Coa;es lumcr Of ans5oUs worlds or war's foregathering signs.

A MALAKI1L VICTIM.

ThTrjlng Kxperlence of a Prominent Minister la the Tropic and at the North. To the EriTOE The following circumstances, drawn from my personal experience, are so iraportaat and really remarkable that I hare felt called cpoa to make them piblic Their (ruth enrt l amply verified: In lSTö I moved from Canton, St. Lawrenoe County, New York, to Florida, which State I intended to make my future residence. I purchased a home on the banks o! the St. John's Hirer, and settled down, as I thought, for life. The summer following tho first winter I was consciou? cf most peculiar sensations, which seemed to be the accompaniment of n change of climate. I felt a sinking at the pit of the stomach, accompanied by occasional dizziness and nausea. My head ached. My limbs pained me and I had an oppressive sene of weariness I bed a thir3t for acids and my appetite was weak aad uacwiam. My digestion was impaired and n?y food die not assimilate. At tirst I imagined it was tne effort of nature to become acclimated, aad eo I thought .ittle of it. Bat my troubles increased until I became restless and feverish, and the physicians informed me I was suffering from malarial fever. This conti) ned in spite cf all the best physicians could do, and I kept growing steadily worsi. In the year IKsO my physicians informed me a change of climate was absolutely necessiry that I could not survive another summer in the South. I determined to return North, but not to the extreme portioi. and so I took up my residence at Upper Sandusky, in Central Ohio. Tha change did not work tha desired cure, and I again consulted physicians. I fonnd they were unable to effect a permanent cure, and when the extreme warm weather of the summer came on I grew so much woree that I pave up all hope. At that time I was suffering terribly. How badly only thoFe can appreciate who have contracted malarial disease in tropical regions. It eeemed as if death would be a greater relief then any other blessing. But notwithstanding all this, I am happy to elate that I am to-day a perfectly well and healthy man. How I came to recover so remarkably can be understood from the following card published by me in the Sandusky (O.) Republican, entitled: HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DCr. Editors EErcrLicAN During my recent ribit to Upper Sandusky so many inquiries were made relative to what medicine or course of treatment had brought such a marvelous change in my system, I feel, it to be due to the proprietors and to the public to fetate that Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure accomplished for me what other medicines and physicians had failed to do. The malerial pcison which ht.d worked its way so thoroughly through mv system during my five years' residence in Florida had brought me to the verjre of the grave, and physicians had pronounced my case incurable; but that is not to be wondered at, as it wa3 undoubtedly one of the worst on record. Hough Brothers, of your city, called my attsntioa to the medicine referred to, and induced me to try a few bottles. So marked was tbe change after four weeks' trial that I continued its use, and now, after three month?, tbe cure is complete. This is not written for the benefit of Warner A Co., but for the public, and especially for any person troubled with malarial or bilious attacks." Such is the statement I made, without solicitation, after my recovery, and such I it ad by at the present moment. I am convincad that Warner's Safe Cure is all it is claimed to be, and as such deserves the great favor it has received. A remedy which can cure the severest case of tropical malaria ot five years' standing certainly can not fail to care those minor malarial troubles which are so prevalent and yet bo serious.

Interview with Parson Brownlow's Son la Cleveland Loader. 'You were acquainted with President Johnson, were you not?" "Yes, very well," replied Mr. Brownlow, ''and I liked him. He lived not far from my home, and I saw him often. He came to me after he had made his Union speech, and asked me to arrange a meeting between him and my father. Before this they had not been on very good terms. Johnson said he wanted a reconciliation now; that they were both in the same boat and they should row together. I arranged a meeting aad a Sbtisfactory understanding wsa attained." "Tell me something new about him,'' said I. IIOW ANDY JOnXSOX RAX AWAY. 'There is much unpublished reminiscence about Andy Johnson,'' replied Mr. Brownlow. "His family whs the poorest of the poor people of the South. He learned his trade as tailor in North Carolina, but ran away before he had served out his term as an apprentice. Ho was a high-spirited youth and his matter was tyrannical. Oae night he bundled up his clothes and left tha country. He fled to South Carolina and stayed there for some time, working as a journeyman tailor. Just before the family started for Tennessee ha returned. He went t) his old master and offered him pay for the time yet remainicg of his apprenticeship. Said he: 'I can not. work for you, but I recagnize the right you have to my servsces; I apprenticed rajeelf, voluntary and am willing to pay for my time.' I understand the man forgave him. At this time he was eighteen years old and had learned to read while working at the bench. SEVENTEEN YEARS A TAILOR. "Did he stick to his trade after ho cama to Tennessee?" "Yes. The family consisting of his mother ard three children, of whom he was the oldest, came over the mountains in a rickety, canvas-covered wagon, and settled near Greenville. For the first few days they lived in the wagon. Then they rented a log cabin, arid Andy opened a little shop in the village. Iiis 6ign was: A. JOHNSON, TAIIOR. "This leg cabin which they rented was a poor affair. It had enly one room, and tha door was eo low that a medium-sized woman must stoop in entering it. The logs were chinked with clay and the chimney was made of mud and branches mixed together. Here he lived and walked into town in the mornirjg and back in the evening. He kept it tailoring in Greenville for seventeen years, working at the bench during tha recesses of the Legislature, and while he held other offices. He did not give up tailoring until he went to Cod gr ess, and ha made clothes from the time of his election in August until the time he left for "Washington in December. After that he was In public life much of the time, and he left his trade for good." 'He married in Greenville, did ha not?'' 'Yes." Andrew Johnson's wife was tha daughter of a shoemaker. Her name ws Eliza McCardie. Ha was nineteen years old when he married her, and ste was a little older. Miss McCardie had received the ordiaary village school education, and she taught her husband to write and cipher. Sae was a bright Vvcrxan, but never appeared much ia "Wasaington society. During the tea years he was in Congress she was here only a f months, ard daring his term at the "Whi -o Hcuee she never appeared at public recep-

tienj. That she was somewhat an invalid at this time may have accounted for this. AXDEEW JOHNSOX'S EO0X0MY bad something to do with keeping his family at tome. He was very economical. His circumstances made him 63 when he was yonn, and his habits thus acquired stuck to him. He died worth $100,000, and. this was purely the eccumulation of his salary and interest He made little or no money outside of his salary. "While he was in Congress he accumulated $50.000. and out of his salary as President $70 000. The President's salary was then $25,000, and I suppose Johnson saved more than any other President except Hayes. "Whon he studied law he was tco poor to buy becks, and be spent his leisure time about the Court House in Greenville reading those belonging there. He never kept a horse or carriage, and during his CcngresBicnal campaigns he borrowed a neighbor' steed to ride over the district. This was probably one of the reasons why he did not give his children college education. His three sons went to the common country school of the Scutb, and the only academic education given any one of them was the youngest while he was President, who was then twelve years old. He seat this boy to school for a lew months. His daughters were better treated, and they were at school in Georgetown while be was in the "White House. Perhaps he did not believe in a college education. He had gotten along with so little himself." JOHNSON AS A SCHOLAR.

"Did he ever become anything of a s:hoisr?" "No! He was a goal speaker, but he was veiy un grammatical. He was a man of force He. A ideas, but he could not write a speech. "While he was in the "White House he did net write his own messages. You know Jtra Black testified to having written some parts of certain messages while on the witness stand. Many of his speeches were writ ten by Judge Milligan, who was his intimate friend through life, hie and Johnson came from the same town. They were elected to the Legislature at the same time, and they remained friends throughout lift. Milligan often disagreed with Johnson as to public matters,but Johnson etuck to his friends though he did not always stick to his party. One of bis last acts as President was to obUin for Milliean a Judgeship in the Court of Claims. "What kind of a man was ANDREW JOHNSON SOCIALLY?" "He could be very pleasant indeed. But he did not care for society, and he shunned the dinners of his brother statesmen. Mr. Johnsen pessessed great native personal digcity, and he could, upon occasion, be as polite as a Chesterfield. He had a way with him which pleased all with whom he came in contact, and he could be free-and-easy without abating one jot of his dignity f What I as become of his family?" ''Mott of them are dead. He had three eons and two daughters. Oae daughter is the soul survivor. This is Martha Johnson tbst was, and Mrs. Judge Peterson that is. She was the eldest daughter, and she presided at the "White House while Johnson was President. She takes much after her father, has a strikingly characteristic face, and is a woman of great intellectual iorce. She is married to Judge Peterson, a man much older than herself, and lives on a larm near Greenville,Tenn." "By the way,'' continuad Mr. Brownlow, "you have never heard of Andrew Johnson's first love. The President fell in love early. He was only nineteen years old when ho teamed, but two years before this, while he was a journeyman tailor in South Carolina, he fell in love with the daughter of a small planter.

The fclz st itrlumtoue Matches. (Boston Globe, "Li 4. 1 ever tell you what Charles Humner once said to me about the manuracture of matches?'' queried Lucius C. Allin, tho veteran foreman cf the Springfield Armory. "It was about fiCty years ago now, when I wss in doubt whether it would pay to go into the business, and asked Mr. Samner what he thought about it. He turned around quick as a flash and said: 'Mr. Alii a, how many pins do you suppose are made in a yeai?' I thought there must be a good many millions. 'And how mw times,' he continued, 'is a pin used?' "Perhaps twenty on an aerage,'' I replied. 'Then, at least twenty times as many matches will be needed as pins," he concluded, 'and of course it will pay.' Now, did even Charles Sumner ever size up anything neater than that? I made matches several years, and not only that, but I invented them. It was away back ia the thirties, when I was a boy. "i wa3 always fooling with the ingredients, brimstone and the like, till finally I struck an idea. Then I went to werk tnd made a few matches, rather crude of course, and showed them to a few friends; but t :ey didn't think it would amount to anything, and I didn't either at first, so I minded nothing about it till 1834, I think it was, when a friend parsualed me to apply for a patent. It was quite a trip to "Washington in those days, but in a few weeki I got word that a Chicopea man had filed a similar application a short time before mine arrived. I was satisfied that I could get the patent by fighting for it, but I didn't think tbe a that it would pay, and so I made a arangament with the Chicopee man by which 1 was to offer no opposition to his getting the patent, but could have the privilege of manufacturing matches on my own nook. He got the patent, and I went into the business. 1 had quite an establishment on "Walnut street, hiring about thirty hands, mostly girls; and kept at it till '37, the time of the great panic. The Chicopee man was a drunken peddler, and he went to Boston oa a spree and gam Med tha pateat away to men who have made their fortune out of it. I sold matches all through this country, but there was a good deal of oppositioa to their manufacture. The papers said it was a bid for incendiarism, and many shopkeepers wouldn't sell them. The railroad had got as far as Worcester then, but they wouldn't carry matches, and I had to hire men U drive deer through to Bc3toa. There were some oher matches in the market that would crack like a pistol when you lit them, and when we put some in a box and set them afire it sounded like a small cannorade. But my matches wera like what we have now. and were the first ever made that I know of." A young gentleman took his sister, a wea mias, the other day to see a family in which he is a regular caller. The little girl mad 3 herself quite at home, and exhibited great foadnefs for one of the young ladies, hugging her heartily. "How very affectionate she is,' said the lady of the nouso. "Yes, just like her brother,'' responded the young lady unthinkingly. Paterfamilias locked up sternly over his spectacles, tbe young gentleman bluehed, and there was consternation in tbe familv circle. PURE I XECESSITY OF HEALTH.
