THE MISER’S BEQUEST.

A bright. fireside, with fender and fire-irons shining’ like gold, windows hung with draperies of Turkey red walls of crimson flock-paper, starred over with gold, and a little walnut stand of books opposite—Mrs. Milford’s parlor was a cabinet gem in its .way. Notthat the Milford’s were rich. On the contrary, Merton Milford was a bank clerk, on a salary sosmall that it sometimes became an almost insoluble problem to make both ends meet. Almost, we say, but never quite; for Lucy Milford had "learned the lesson of household economy, and it was her pride to be able to say that they never had been in debt. Yet Lucy had a woman’s taste and a woman’s cravings and a woman’s innocent longing after the beautiful and costly; and on this especial evening, as she sat by the fire, leaning one cheek on her hand, and her foot mechanically agitating the rocker of the baby’s cradle, she was thinking of the possible —unattainable, = - - “If we: were only“rich)} thought Lucy to herself, as she ‘glanced across the room.: “How I would like a pair, of bronzes on yonder mantel, instead of those, ugly, stiff little vases that Aunt ‘Betsy gave me for a wedding present. How I would like a Persianpatterned carpet, instead of this staring red and green ingrain. And a little oil-painting or a bunch of watercolored tflowers over the table, where the map of the city hangs now. And then I could afford a Valenciennes cap for the baby, and a real ’onson silk for myseif, and I could surprise Merton . with half a dozen new silk handkerchiefs, and I would send papa a new meerschaum, real sea-foam, with an amber mouth-piece and odd carvings on the bowl, and mamma ,sh(()luld have an Indian-bordered shawl, an ”___ 2

Bang went the front door. Tramp, tramp, came a well-known footstep along the hall, with just sufficient of a pause to fling the hat carelessly on the little cirelet of pégs which, in that unpretentious household, took the place of a marble-topped mirror-back-ed hall-rack. :

“It’s Merton,” said Mrs. Milford, starting up; and Merton it was. “Hallo, Puss!” said Merton, coming in flushed and breathless. “Andhow’s the little kitten?” :

“Kitty is well,” said Mrs. Milford.— “Shall I order tea, dear?®” : “Yes.” p s

The little maid-servant—Lucy Milford only kept. one—brought in the urn, and when she had tip-toed out again, Mrs. Milford looked her husband in the face. . 9o ' ~ “Merton,” said she, “something has happened; I can read it.in your eyes. What is it ?” 15 : : He burst into a laugh. s “What a little fortune-teller you are, ‘to be sure,” said he. “Yes, something has happened. I've 'got a telegram from Fortley, and old Uncle Jesse is dying.” : : . “Uncle Jesse, the rich old miser.— And Wirt informs me that his last will, made in a fit of pique against the directors of the Fortley Orphan Asylum, leaves everything to us.” = ° . “To us, Merton ?” : ® Luecy drew her breath with a little gasping sound. . : : “Why, it must be half a million of money !” e

- “That at least. We shall be rich people, Puss.” © - “Oh, Merton, it scarcely seems possible! . It’s like a dream.” A

“It’s a dream that has a preétty solid vein of reality running through it, you’ll find; my dear,” said the husband. -~ “And just before you came in, I was sitting here and thinking ‘what I would do and how I could ornament my home, if only we were rich!” cried Lucy, clapping her hands. - Merton pinched her cheek and laughed complacently. Evidently he was in the best of humor. .

“Half 2 million, Luecy!” said he.— “You shall have a set of diamonds that will rival those of Mrs. Merriwell, the banker’s wife, and a real cashmere shawl. And I'll order a pony phaton for your own driving, and Fon— -~ : ““But we shall buy a ‘countr‘y place, shan’t we, Merton ?” wishfully asked Lucy, the soft carmine shadows deepening over her cheek. : “A country place! What for?” said Milford, a little contemptuously.--“What on earth should we bury ourselves in the country .for, when we can buy a palace at the West-end and surround ourselves with all the refinements of city life?” A shade of acute disappointment came over Lucy’s face.’ : “Oh, Merton, I have always dreamed -of a country house,” sighed she. . “With burglars and - mildew and spiders thrown in,eh? Nonsense, my dear, nonsense? The city is the place to live in.” : (o e

“And we can have papa and mamma to-live with us, can’t we?” S “W—well, I don’t exactly know about that,” Milford, thoughtfully, stroking his mustache; “I’ll buy ’em a snug little place, if you say so, my love; but I never did believe in fathers and mothers-in-law living with their children. Every household is complete in itself. That’s my notion.”

“Oh, Merton, how can you talk so?” cried Lucy, with a pained face. “Oh,/ well, Lucy, there’s no use in sentimentalizing on these points,” retorted her husband, a little brusquely. “I don’t care to be rich, if I can’t enjoy the pleasures of my money,” said Mrs, Milford, pouting. v “So you may enjoy them—if you only will be reasonable about it.” ,

“And I've always thought so much of having mamma with me.” e “Better leave off thinking about if, then,” said Milford, lighting a cigar and leaning back in a chair, the better to enjoy it. o . “I suppose I can have as many servants as I please now?” hazarded ‘Mrs. Milford, wisely steering the con-, versational -barque away from the shoals of dispute. ; “Twenty, 1f you like, my dear,” replied Merton, ; s “z?x}m a housekeeper like Mrs. Millers? ; e

“Not a housekeeper,” said Mr. Milford,shaking his head. “No fine ladies for me, disguised as dependents. As many servants as are necessary, but no one to domireer over them-—a proxy for yourself.” & “I will have a housekeeper,” said Lucy, excitedly. i “No, you will not, my dear—not in myhouse™". . S , “Oh, yes; but there’s no use in being unreasonable.” e “And can we have a. cottage at Brighton ?” ek i “Why do you say Brighton ?” grave1y questioned Merton. “To my mind, Puss, Brighton is nothing more than a hot-bed of folly and frippery. At

“I don’t care for Hastings,” sﬁtﬁ Lucy, moodily; “the air never ¢ d} agree with me.” ' 5 § Lucy burst into tears. Lo - “Oh, Merton, don’t speak so to nﬁ‘” - Mr. Milford got up and strode out of the room. e i e “Merton, Merton!” cried the wiffe.g “where are you going ?” s i “To the billiard-room at the corner,™ said Milford, hotly. “I can find fﬁe‘iﬁ 3 enough there, I dare say, to give e% the sympathy my wife seems inclin d to withhold.” w eﬁ Luey ecried bitterly. - In all ﬁh : bright years of their married life they never had any serious differences until now. Was it possible that riches were destined to bring them ‘only‘a. meed of misery, instead of the expect~ ed harvest of happiness? Next came a feeling of bitterness and resentment. She would show Merton'that she was not to be treated like a child. « @ e came home late, but Mrs. Milford feigned to be asleep. Shedid not come down to breakfast the next morning, making an excuse of a slight headache, the remains of last night’s tears and Milford ate and drank alone. | “Humph!” commented he, swallc#w’ing his coffee in a succession of dys-peptic-breeding gulps.- “A pretty sprt of life, this.”, | For three days Lucy cried and Merton sulked.: At the end of that time he came home with a curious expression on his face. “Puss,” said he. S ‘Luey looked up, her pensive face brightening at the old, caressing epithet. “I've just had a second telegram.— Uncle Jesse is dead.” . “Poor old man,” said Lucy, soberly. “Do you know, Merton,l begin to doubt whether Uncle Jesse’s money will do us any good.” . “I don’t think it will,” said Milford. “Because, you see, the old gentleman rallied at the last, and made a new will ‘in favor of the Refuge for Old Men,” ! ! “And there is nothing left for us?” “Not a penny.” : | “I am glad of it,” said Lucy. . “And I don’t know thatl am sorry,” said;MiLs‘?rd, half laughing. “Because, if the rdverse of the old adage holds true, and love flies out of the window when riches come in at the door, I say let’s draw the bolt against riches.” And Lucy’s tearful kiss sealed his words. o ;

The First Phase of Autumn. The miracle of autumn is beginning. The sun’s aslanting rays proclaim the season’s change. Over the landscape of hill, dale, meadow and rivulet, lies a soft blue haze, misty as the vail of a school girl. The foliage on trees and plants loses its summer freshness and is prepairing to take on sunset hues. Trellis vines and tall grasses are fast entering the transformation which autumn brings. Swallows and martins, that have peopled the barns, the eaves of the court house and cornices of various buildings about town, have bade us adieu and flown to their southern homes. The drowsy hum and chatter of the insect tribe is modulated and heard faint and low. The bugs and’ .bge(;les-that thumped and bumped so prodigiously against ceiling, walls, lamps and our own noses of evenings, have not been so briskof late. The evenings have lengthened too much for this sport’ of bug gymnastics. It can not, in this first phase of autumn, be long ere the youth of vivid imagination can peruse the dime novel unannoyed by these evening pests. The babbling katydid that greeted and grated our ears only a few nights ago has about hushed and retired from the business of evening songster. The few remaining flowers of the household premises are putting on an extra blush, and the night kisses an extra tear of crystal dew to intensify their loveliness. All the long summer they have been pleasant companions of happy homes and ministered unremitting ly to the esthetic taste. They have beautified the altar, scattered ' their sweetest perfume above the graves of those we love, and made pleasant every place where beauty and fragrance were needed. ‘The husbandman is still busy with his stores of ripened grain. His orchards séar fair burdens of luscious, ripening fruit, more tempting than boys’s hands can resist. . And the melon patch, with rusty vines, have ‘unmistakable signs that some one be‘sides the owner has helped himselt.— ' Barrels of potatoes are rolling away to market, and every vegetable pro‘duet of summer needs attention now which the diligent grower is prompt to give. The night air ¢hills to a shivering degree; quinine and coverlets are in quest; frost, that old Jack, has already been here with his f)ra.nks; he is now billed on the cornfields, and the dreaded equinoxial, a prelude to the first of autumn, is daily expected. But what nice mornings are these! The ‘bracing .air, respondent to our own good health, makes us put on our hest looks and try to look cheerful and feel tip-top toward everybody. And though years in the first phase of autumn may come to many who do not care to stay the season’s change, we should never ' permit the generalities of our natures to grow less flavored with sweetness and kindness, but always cultivate those graces and virtues which this particular season, with its peculiar charms, most naturally tends to -develop.—Balem Democrat. vl :

TuAT a degeneration of the human race is at present speaking fast going on, there can be nodoubt. The habits of dress, the unhealthy fashions, protracted celibacy, late martiages, and other evils, which breed insanity, idiocy; consumption and other degenerating diseases, bid fair to reduce the race of mortals far below the standard that it has held. By these evils the vigor ‘and strength which-should be in our race is in a great measure taken from them.—Balem Democrat. = ~Subseribe for THE BANNER,

| A LESSON FOR THE PRESENT DAY. The History of Tylerism and the Destruetion of the Whig Party. s | From the Cincinnati Times, | In 1840 the Whigs swept the country, carrying mineteen of the twenty- [ six States, and securing two hundred and thirty-fou{" electoral votes for | Harrison and Tyler to sixty for Van . Buren. They had a majority in both ibranches of Congr and had comi plete control of thgs%egislature and | Government of New ¥ork. A month after his inauguration Harrison died. FTyler’s first message to'the extra session, assembled on the 3d of May, was fullof promise for the Whigs. Here--cognized the special measures on which they had come in, and:invoked legis“lation in their behalf. There were no ‘portent of the coming storm, but it ‘came soon enough in his veto of the _bank bill. The effect was immediate; it was the arrayment of the head of ‘the Whig party against their most “cherished principles—the principles A ggﬁ\which the campaign had been conducted and won. Of course the Democrats were warm in admiration of the President and of his unpartisan course. They praised him in their papers; they had meetings in his honor. Even Van Buren, the defeated democratic candidate for the Presidency, announced his admiration for the new policy. Several of the Whig members, Mr. Wise among them, imbued with sudden love of unpartisanship, broke loose from the ranks and formed a third party. The Whigs were very slow to accept the gage of war. Their most judicious leaders deprecated a conflict; they deplored the difference on this question, but hoped for agreement on others. They framed another currency bill, following closely the President’s own suggestions. This, too, was yetoed, but accompanying the veto was a plea against party contlict. Almost piteously the President pleadedy : - . It has been my good fortune and pleasure to concur with them-in all measures except this; and why should difference on this alone be pushed to extremities? It is my anxions desire that it should not be. s

But the breach could be no longer averted. - The confidence of the party was gone—anger had taken its place. The Cabinet broke up, all resigning except Mr. Webster. We do not pass judgment upon Webster’s action; but ilisincontestably true thatitcontributed immeasurably to the Whig destruction. He was then engaged as Secretary of State, in what has proved one of the greatest laurels of his fame, the Ashburton treaty. He may have. remained only with the view of completing that, he may have been controlled by his Presidential aspirations and his hostility to hisrival, Clay; but whether one or both, none the less was: his course fatal to the Whigs. United against Tyler, they would have retained theiwr hopes, their discipline, and theirstrength ; but, with a part following “the greatest intellect of the country” (Webster), and a part clinging to “the most popular leader of the time” (Clay), they were broken, ruined. Gov. Seward, writing to Weed on Sept. 11, gauged the fufure with unerring prescience: e i ‘Mr. Webster goes into the new Cabinet with Tyles, and against Clay and his fd%nda. now the mass of the Whig garty. There will be loud denunciations of both, and open feud.

-The feud came. The Whig members of Congress, returning to New York, united in a formal protest against the President. The party staggered, completely unstrung. The. loss of Maine was the first echo. A few weeks later came the New York election. The Democrats carried both branches of the Legislature—a Whig majority of ten thousand had been dissipated in a year. Gradually the alienation of the President and his party increased; nor did he gather strength from the other side. The Democrats praised his independence, and defended his acts in their speeches and newspapers; but they clung with undiminished tenacity to their own organization and their own ean: didates. Then sprang up, with tropic luxuriance, the talk of a new party. It was to be an unpartisan party, a patriotic party of reform and of pacification. Old and corruptparties were to be broken up—all things were to become new. Tyler meetings were ‘held everywhere. A Tyler general committee was organized in the city of New York. The patriotic reform citizens of our State Convention at Columbus endorsed the Tyler policy, and resolved that the President should divide the Democratic party and gather in its conservative and better elements. Would you see how gloriously their hopes were realized ? Depressed, disintegrated, the Whigs waited the shock with idle hands, part clinging despairingly to the intelléct of Webster, part standing up manfully with the spirit of Henry Clay. In October, Ohio threw off the Whig control, and went for the Democrats. In New York the party was overwhelmed as by an. avalanche. They saved only thirty members of the Assembly, .and but one Senator. The Congressional ticket was buried out of sight. The democratic candidate for . Governor was elected by 21,982 majority though his vote was considerably smaller than when he (the same man) was beaten in 1874. Forty thousand disgusted and depressed Whigs ha.% stayed away -from the polls! Elsewhere the same causes were at work. Two years of labor; and all the personal magnetism of Harry of the West could not repair ‘the ruin that had been wrought. In 1844 we lost the nation by 65 electoral votes, which we had carried in 1840 by a majority of 174 And where was Webster, the Presidential candidate? Dead. Where was the new party of patriotism, pacification, and re%or'm? Gone where the woodbine twineth. The Democrats came into power, and ‘stayed there. @ —

. " THE ORCHARD. = ' . ‘Fort Wayne Sentinel, L ; Every farm has its orchard, hence every farmer has u direct interest in the trees that he transplants and the fruit they bear, if they ever reach that stage, which not one in five or more does on an average. We propose in j series of articles to ventilate this sutg ject pretty fully, from a standpoint that we have the vanity to believe -will be of practical advantage to all cultivators of fruit, and that we believe includes most everybody that owns a piece of ground however small. - The apple to the fruit crop is what the potato is to the vegetable. Itscultivation and improvement of varieties has of late been so great that it now is in use throughout the year, so that many farmers have, and all can and should have, apples to use every day in the year. They are not only healthful, but considered by physicians to be in many cases indispensible to health. Not so with any other fruit. Besides its sanitary qualities it is a luxury as well, and is the only commercial fruit crop that farmers can successfully ‘and profitably grow.— Therefore its importance will warrant and interest farmers and others to an extent that we think will justify what we shall say, and at the same time we court criticism upon our remarks and will answer any inquiries that may be made. It would perhaps interest most of the readers of the Sentinel if we should at once introduce the subjeqt ot varieties and their merits to public favor, but we prefer going back of that a little at first, and talk about the tree itself. - . : : |

The amount of money wasted by farmers in the purchase of worthless fruit trees in this county would if it could be ascertained far exceed the first cost of the farm before the improvements were made. But we shall show in the course of our investigation of the causes of failure that neither the tree mor the nurseryman or tiee peddler are exclusively at fault. But that the bad setting out and worse care of the tree afterwards has much. to do with the frequent failures. + That trees are often grubbed up and exposed to the wind and sun without the least protection for several days, sometimes before they are packed for customers, is true enough. Of course such trees cannot live if they are ever so carefully handled afterwards. Thousands of trees of this description are sold to farmers every year, and the money they are swindled’ out ¢f annually would pay -their taxes for the year. We are frequently asked how farmers can protect themselves against these impositions.” We will only say at this time thab there are many honest, conscientious, intelligent nurserymen and tree dealers in the country. Their reputations are as wide as the country; read and post yourselves up and deal with them. ° - =~ If it were only the trees that failed to grow that the complaint is made about, it might be ended; but when, after years of patient watching and waiting to realize sight and taste. of the golden fruit ‘that was promised and expected from the few trees that did live, the happy moment has at length arfived. But, alas! the delicious “Swaar” or more delicate and beautiful “Primate” proves to be the overgrown, coarse and worthless “Gria Mundi,” or the bitter and rejected “Red Pennock,” which at once disgusts the enraged farmer, and he, declares he “will dever buy another tree of .a peddler” (until the next one comes along). He holds out pretty well and gives peddlers a wide.berth until®a very honest one‘at length besets him, and he again yields to his blandishments. The peddler or agent gets a nice large order, which includes some very rare and high priced varieties that are producing an astonishing sensation wherever introduced. Ile adds a few charter oak grape vines at $3 each. Some elegant shrubbery for the front yard that good taste would reject as worthless, with a small lot of new and exceedingly beautiful and hardy evergreens that he could only “agree to furnish where the bill amounted to a certain sum, and then only a few specimens.” Of course the agent pockets the order and is off. The trees are delivered on time but by another _agent. The purchaser begins to smell a mice. Don’t like the looks of the stuff and tells the agent 'so, but he shows him his “little order” signature ‘all right. Sold again, “by gings,” grumbles the victim, but pays his bill and this time calls on Heaven to witness'that this is ‘the last, sure. - .

In consequence of these and similar drawbacks there are but few orchards that are satisfactory to those who planted them. - Still there is a good deal of fine fruit grown in this county; and there ought to be a very great deal more, for fabulous sums of moniey have been expended for the purpose. There are nevertheless a number of horsiculturists and pomologists in the county, and the products of a single orchard have taken most of the first preminms at the State fairs for many years. We will talk more about varieties in our next. o ® : |—4 et . Q !

Go South, Young Man.

“Go. west,” is another way of saying, “Get a piece of land and cultivate the soil.” It may be doubted if the best opportunities for the poor husbandman are to be found in the west. The south has its advantages for the agriculturist, and they are well worth considering, In the first place the hardships incident to the removal beyond the reach ot railroads or settlements are not incurred. Markets are not left so far behind. The disadvantages of a country without timber are avoided. The fierce winds of summer and. the icy blasts of winter are not encountered, and the emigrant does not cut himself off from fruit growing, as he must in’settling in many portions. of the west. The man who settlés on land in the south will not find so productive a soil as he who locates on the virgin prairie® of the west, but what he grows will command a better price; fuel and lumber will be cheaper; with him; he will be able to work o,ig; of doors every month in the year; himself and wife'and children will beless likely to go down to early graves with catarrhalor pulmonary diseases,owing to abrupt climate changes; the privileges of church and sehool will not be s 0 long unrealized, and in many other respects his condition, while yet prosperity is to be gained, will be more tolerable than under like financial eircumstances in the far West further North:, - i Gy )

It is not easy to say which of the Southern States offer the best inducements for immigration. ' There are large tracts of idle land in nearly all of them that under the careful tillage which a northern man would give would yield abundanfly. Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama have been named as good Statesin which to settle. Texas has alsostrong claims, and others might be mention= ed. The colonization plan, even on a small scale, is the best. A half dozgn families by clubbing together could ‘buy a plantation or two and divide it between them, in this manner establishing a -small ‘settlement of their: own, and insuring themselves agreea-. ble mneighbors, however the people about them might.be disposed. Butb there can be no doubt that the South has.never before -since the war been in a frame of mind toward northern-: ers so nearly approaching cordiality. The manifest disposition of the administration in Tespeet to the South, and the hearty approval of its course by so large'a proportion of the north, has convinced them'that our desire for permanent and honorable reconciliation is sincere, -and they are very generally. meeting the _President’s overtures in the spirit in whi¢h they are offered.. The time is very near, if it has not already arrived, when in many portions of the South, the northerner may find, not only an attractive field for his labors, but welcoming hands from those there before him.— South Bend Tribune. - o

~ -+ Garfield on Silver. e TFt. Wayne Sentinel. . ke - . Gen. Garfield in a late speech undertook to state his position on the silver question. He attempted to dodge the ‘main issue, and talk around it so as to mislead his hearers, but what he did | say shows plainly that he is not one of the friends of the old silver dollar. He is willing to authorize the coinage of silver, but he desires the amount limited and the legal tender guality’ limited. He proposes to replace the greenback ‘ones and twos with silver: coins, but to stop there. Any one who hag studied the question at all will see that what Garfield proposes will afford no relief whatever to the people.— None of the Shylocks object to the use of silver for token or subsidiary coins. None of them object to mak-: ing silver a legal fender for small amounts, and few oppose the replacing of the greenback ones and twos with silver. It is not'demagogy, but the slmple truth, to say that theythink silver is good enough for poor people, but that rich must have gold. But permit us to say that the people will not be satisfied with the concessions of the gold ringsters of their ‘tool, Gen. Garfield. These concessions amount to nothing. The rights of debtors are no less sacred than those of creditors. It is just as wrong to oppose ‘and rob a debtor as itis to swindle and defraud a creditor. In -order to undo the great wrong and injustice which were accomplished by, the legislation of 1873 we must restore silver- to its old place; authorize its unlimited coinage, and make it a legal tender for all debts; public and private. We propose to-pay our:indebtedness in dgllars-containing 87114 grains of pure silver. Our national debt is about:$2,000,000,000, and it is estimated that our other bonded indebtedness—=>State, municipal and corporate =aggregate $7,000,000,000 more. The question involved: is this: Shall this ‘vast debt be measured and paid in dollars worth 110 cents each, or in silver dollars worth 100 cents-each? The difference involved %g $900,000,000, which is demanded by the Shylocks and the gold ringsters, as a bonus or gratuity. They propose to accomplish this shameless robbery, under the pretence of keeping the public credit sacred. i S

This medicine is a decided benefit in all, and a permanent cure in a large majority of diseases of the blood, such as Scrofula, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, Canker, Pimples, &c.” In prescribing this meédicine we do not claim that it always a%er-forms cures; but this we do say, that it purifies ‘and enriches the blood, permanently curing a large majority of diseases arising from its impurities, . It stands far ahead and unequaled among the hundreds of com‘peting medicines of the.day. It has stood the test of ten years, and is to‘day more popular than ever. As a summer restorative it stands unrivaled; it enables the system to bear up against the constant drain to which it is subjected by a high temperature.
