. MY GREAT AUNT'S WILL. ; e | BYACEER. . G 4 ‘I am a clerk in a country store,and sometimes I wish I'd been a marfyr in those days when they stretched peo ple on beds of spikes, or roasted them on a grid-iron. Then. I think I could have taken a little comfort in life.s . This is the way of it: lam belind the counter on the side where we Keep prints, and there trots up to the other side, where we keep flannels, a cus tomer neither young nor beautiful; hurry around and across, and she asks for calicos; then I turn her about @il make my way back, and pull down ‘ half a dozen pieces, but she just gages ‘at the shelves, says she'd like to 9ok -at the under piece on the top shelf} I climb up, at the risk of breaking miy neck, and get the under pieée out, and -she concludes ’tisn’t what she thought it was. Then she says she’d like to look “at that stripe;” I blunder on. to every stripe before I get her partienlar stripe. Then she says she weie: aTittle figure, and I get all the little figures out -for her. Ske wants to know how much ’tis a yard; I say six .cents, and she says she can get better ‘in Blanktown for five, and she looks at me suspiciously, as if I was acheating youth. She wants to know if it’ll wash, and I say I presume so, most calico does wash, and she looks at me indignantly, as if I was a saucy youth. Then she asks me if we take eggs, and I say we do, and we pay.twenty-eight cents, and rshe says they’re paying thirty at the other store; and off she goes, and I put up the prints, and am down at the farther end of the room turning fragments out of a’' cracker barrel, *when back she comes and wants samples. ! :

We keep the postoffice, and by the time I get back to my cracker barrel, in comes a man who wants to know if he hasn’t a letter. He never had a letter in his life, and he knows it, and I know it; but it is one of these facts that both parties ignore, and I go and look, and give him the consoling assurance that he hasn’t any, and he departs in peace of mind. s ’ Then there is a lady who wants to match a confounded bit of silk braid, drab, bordering on the lilac. It takes me flve minutes to find one box of silk braids, and five more to find we haven’t drab bordering on the lilac. Then she wants sewing of the same shade, and I hunt-through all the sewing silks, and there’s drab bordering on everything else under the sun excepting lilac; but I know by the way her flounces sweep out that a mercantile house not keeping drab bordering on the lilac stands very low. ; I get down to the farther end of the store again, and there comes a 4 man to the front door, and yelps out loud enough for every customer to hear that he’s brought back that barrel of flour; says the bread was black and all dough in the middle. Now that ‘man_understood when he bought that flour that it was inferior quality, not recommended, and hehadit cheap,and took it because it was cheap. I helped him roll the flour in, and I can see that he thinks he has circumvented a yvillgin: 5

That’s the way it goes, day aftef day, week after week, and I hate tea, detestsaleratus,abhor codfish,and wish calico, cotton cloth, frilling, hooks and eyes, and all the rest of the wretched necessities of an artificial civilization were at the bottom ef the Indian Ocean. Ilong to be a savage more than I do to be an angel, and I shall be one of these days though I do wear cloth suits and have a shaving mug at the barbers marked in gilt letters, S. O. Haynes. I wonder that all selfrespect and sentiment of humanity has notlong ago perished from out my bosom. .

. Such were my reflections one fine morning just after train time, while I was weighing out half a pound of black tea, when my fellow-sufferer in the dry goods and grocery infliction called out: : P

“Here’s alady inquiring for you, Sam.” ek ;

In distinet outline stood a woman, her skirts spread out by a triangular hoop like the skirts of the female figures we used to draw on our slates at school. I came up to make my bow, and saw she had a black glazed bag and an umbrella at her side. She wore a stringy kind of shawl, with fearfully long fringe, and seemed to be afflicted .with numb palsy, : 5 “Are you my nephew, Sam’well ?” asked she. ; :

“I'm your father’s aunt, Loueezer Haynes.” . | - “I’m very glad to see you, Aunt Loumal : : :

She looked at me sharply,as if I was making fun of her. I suppose it is because the corners of my mouth turn up, people age always suspecting me. of making fun of them. I wish those corners would sink, and wonder they don’t. “I'm your only female living relation on the father’s side,” she said in a whisper. My business experience with females had been so embittering, I was glad to learn she was the only oné on my father’s side. “And as you have no mother, I feel it my duty to help make a home for you!u : 3 . Instantly I remembered that Aunt Louisa:-was worth seventy-five thousand. I think I learned the fact in early years at the parental knee, along with who made me, and what State I lived in. I know it always stood to my infantile consciousness in the relation of a primary truth. My father, all his ‘life, courted poverty through the medium of dry goods and groceries, and went through bankruptcy as often as the law would allow. During the periodic sezsons, before call‘ing the creditors and making an assignment, he used to clasp his hands to his head and ejaculate, “Louisa might help me if she only would!” But Louisa wouldn’t or at least she didn’t, and whatever may be thought of her filial affection, mature observations on the oscillations in the molasses and ginger market have convinced me of the soundness of her judgment. P dalightedm see you, Aunt Louisa. I HW@W to my %ﬁm withyou,” ... .= . Hence, with a brown willow basket mww‘ﬁf“ shiny leather bag gtm‘ Im ther, ar : ‘my great-aunt t!'%‘; ting behind-—wh oﬁw nder heavens she &?Wwﬂﬂmlmm 1 was engaged to Evalina Angelia. 1 Mkl Britor il EiEat Mot kbt &l adn ohe oS SHJOyAS HIRG Honhe svek ainde ' sSI il R e B PR i Sk e o g CRRITAE -A 7 SORABIA B R&t AT SRt b R e T

ed his previous thought. Evalina smiled patronizingly upon me. Deference to the aged I knew she considered beautiful. 9

My aunt didn’t like -my boarding place, and wasn’t pleased with my boarding mistress. She thought we'd bettex; keep house, and I spent thenéxt fortnight house hunting with her. The great disideratum seemed to be ‘the right kind of a “buttery” one would have supposed it was to be the staff of life with us. Weat last found a “buttery” on the northwest corner, opening into both kitchen and diningroom, having the requisite number of cupboards, having shelves that admitted of being taken out in house-clean-‘ing time, painted a bewitching cream color; and ‘we engaged that buttery,. regardless of cost or the character of its neighbors.. : ; . The next momentous step was to get my aupt’s “things” moved. Were I writing a scientific essay on psychological distinctions of sex, I should tm‘akev one strong point, the tenacious -attachment -of the feminine mind to “things.” Ten thousand dollars in stocks and ‘bonds at stake in an unsettled estate have been khown to exclfe less interest and create less jealousy than the di#hosition of an old table-cloth. s

My aunt was for'some days in a harrowing state of indecison as to whether she had better have her things invoiced as freight or to hireacar. I had to go to her former place of abode to see about getting the things en route, and I had to“meet them with a carriage” at our depot. I feltlike a colledtor of antiquities just getting an assortment over from Egypt. I shall ever feel grateful to the small boys of our village for their self-restraint on this tempting oceasion. I don’t recollect a single opprobrious epithet. They treated my loads with a respect to which nothing but hoary hairs could entitle them. ; ‘ :

. There was a cheese-press, and I don’t know but a cider-mill; there was something, with four tremendously heavy legs, I always believed to be something in disguise of a bed-stead. There were seven band-boxes: (four large and three small), five ‘feather beds, seven comfortables, and a great deal of crockery which evidently came over in the Mayflower, but had mueh better have put back to land in the Speedwell, - I need not say that our residence when furnished was neat but not gaudy. I slept under a “rising-sun” bedquilt, and'had a round braided mat to put my feet on when I got out in the morning. 1 sighed for my former cosy quarters, but I remembered my aunt’s valuation, and reasoned that if she was my only living female relative on the father’s side, I must of necessity be her only living male relative on the mother’s side. Mo o

Soon after we were domesticated, I found that my aunt was subject to mysterious attacks, which attacks invariable seized her in the night-time, and made it imperative that I should run for the doctor. Liability tothese attacks precluded the possibility of my being away from home evenings, excepting Sunday and Thursday evenings, when I was expected {o see my aunt to prayer-meetings and attend her home, though Evalina went off in an opposite direction with another fellow.- I didn’t know but justice both to myself and Evalina demanded that I should have a conversation with my aunt, and set- before her, in language which even a child might understand, my views of the duties and privileges of an engaged man; but Ifelt extremely deubtful of her sympathy,and sev-enty-five thousand was a good deal to risk.

‘We kept one servant, whose wages my aunt thought it was right I should pay, because, as she said, if there was no one but herself, she shouldn’t keep a girl. Our culsine wasmanaged with strictest regard to economy. We lived largely on soup, which consisted principally of broth. My aunt highly esteemed marrow bones. I wonder ifit is generally known among physiologists how long a healthy person can subsist on a persistently boiled marrow bone? ;

For two or three years I had been in the habit of smoking a cigar at the close of the day’s labor. One evening I was sitting on the piazza indulging in ghls luxury, when out rushed my aunt.

~ “Sam’well,” cried she, “are you smoking?" .. i

- “Yes’'m,” very meekly. -. “Well,” said she, calmly but firmly, “none of my money shall ever go up in cigar smoke.” Then again she asked: “How much do you pay for those cigars ?” st ; “Ten cents.” : b

“Now, Sam’well, I want you to take your pencil and calculate how much ten cenfs a day will amount to in a year, then how much in fifty years, then I want you to put this sum at compound interest, and see how much it will amount to by the time you are seven-ty-five years old.” s « It struck me that I had somehow, during my lifetime, met with similar problems, but I conscientiously made the cilculation. ‘ ~“Alnt,” cried I, “I’'m perfectly appalled. Never did I dream of this. Of what mad extravagance have I been guilty ?” and wildly I hurled my cigar into the camaomile bed. : It became generally known throughout our village that my aunt was very wealthy and I was heir-expectant, and I soon perceived that whether or not I ever obtained the gold, I was going to have the glory. At a town-meet-ing, legally called, and with a moderator in the chair, I was elected one of nine prudential committee-men: duty ~—“to see about getting the wood.” Our Sabbath-School appointed me delegate to a Conference at Cummingford: privileges—lose my time, pay ~my own fare, change cars twice, stage it five miles over a country road and through a dlggvember landscape; pros-gects—-ad esB by Deacon Thomas ones; music, that rare and irtricate composition, “Shall We Gather at The Rivapl® .=.« | A : <o I secured the position of watchman ab our store every other Sunday night.

- Solemn scenes have no place in‘this narrative, and I pass on to the time when we were assembled for the reading of the will—the lawer, the minister, and myself, That instrument ran as follows: ’

~ “After paying my just debts and my funeral expenses, and providing a suitable monument, I give and be‘queath to my beloved nephew, Samuel O. layres, his heirs and assigns, for their use and behoof forever, all. my wearing apparel and personal ornaments, with the exception of my gold beads, which I bequeath to my namesake, Louisa Haynes,.of St.'J oseph, Missouri; all ‘my beds and bedding, household utensils and furniture,with the exception of my great arm-chair, which, as it came in on the Jones side, ‘I) Wisl% to go ;o some df‘se{ving memer of that family. -also give my nephew, Sﬁ‘ﬁi‘"ﬁm,’xﬁve' ‘dbﬁﬁ%‘ﬁg | which to buy a Reference Bible in my remembrance, and also the sealed paper of instructions accompanying this instrument, which I wish him to read a year hence in the presence-of the witnesses now assembled for the reading of this my will, AR “The remainder of my property,both real and personal, with the exception of the legacies hereinafter named, I beyueath to the American Missionary. Society, neither legacies nor bequests to be paid until a-year and a day from this day.” 2 :

‘When the lawyer was through reading, I had no clear idea to whom these legacies were devised, but I remarked that the American Missionary Society was a most worthy organization. : The nature of the will was soon made public. Popular sentiment was that of resignation, not tosay of satisfaction,on my account. My companions, who had never seen why deserving merit in my case should meet such disproportionate reward, while their own plodded along on a weekly stipend with no great aunt’s estate in prospective, naturally. experienced a revival of confidence in the equitable government of the universe. Elderly friends in church and Sabbath-s¢hool felt that I had cause for rejoicing in being spared the snares and temptations that accompany wealth, My employer privately expressed the opinion that I had been getting above my bus--liness, and he was glad to see me taken down a peg. Evalina said, “Never mind; we don’t care for money.” But not many days after, Evalina told me she had begun to realize what a solemn ordinance was matrimony; she and I were both young, and had our way to make, and she thought perhaps, for the present, it would be bet-ter-for us to consider ourselves only friends.

I said “Very well,” and felt that 1 was a lonely bark tossed on a wild and watery waste. ; ] -1 had read of instances similar to mine where the sealed packet or the old Bible proved to contain banknotes; but finger the paper left me as liwould, I could make nothing of it but paper..” " ; 5 For a year I went.calmly but hopelessly forward in the dry goods and grocery way, and we then assembled for the opening of my sealed orders—the lawyer, the doctor, the minister, ‘and myself. The first words that met my eyes as I unfolded the paper were, “And all former wills by mé made I do hereby revoke,” etc. With palpitating heart I passed the document to the lawyer. After provisions and legacies similar to those in the first in--strument, the latter document proceeded as follows: - i

“T'o the American Missionary Society I give and bequeath the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars. “To my beloved nephew, Samuel O. Haynes, who I hope may have learned, during the year that has elapsed, lessons of wisdom meore valuable than money, I bequeatlllége sum of twentyfive thousand dolldrs, which I direct my executor to pay over tosaid Haynes as soon as may be convenient, I farther direct my executor to annually pay to said Haynes the income from the remainder of my property, both real and personal, and to pay from the principal to said Haynes on his thirtieth birthday, if he be living, or to his heirs or assigns if deceased, the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars, and to pay to said Haynes on his thir-ty-fifth birthday the remainder of my property be it more or less.” I went down to the store just as usual the next morning, for I wish to show people tha{ I had too good sense to have my head turned. When I fill‘ed our best customer’s molasses jug with kerosene, I knew I had demonstrated my coolness, . ;

‘The chairman of the Board of. Selectmen wanted to know what I should advise in regard fo rebuilding the Piper stone bridge; the doctor asked what my candid opinion was concerning the comparative merits of muriate of ammonia and iodide of potassium in a case of pleuritis where egophony denotes slight effusion of the mediastinum; and the minister said there was an article on “Semi-Pelagianism in the Fourteenth Century” in the Bibliotheca Sacra he!thought I-would enjoy perusing. .As I stood on the hall door-step after singing-school that -evening, Evalina came out back of me, and said she, with a little shiver, “Oh, how da-rk it is!” - omeaiae

It flashed across me, as I offered my arm for escort home, that to the feminine imagination matrimony on the income of seventy-five thousand is naturally a less “solemn ordinance” than on a precarious salary of eight dollars a week, and nothing found but peppermint drops. : T - Presently Evalinaremarked,“Aren’t you very lonely since your aunt died ?” —tender emphasis on the lonely. My aunt had been dead a year, and Evalina “engaged” at least once in the mean timen % b G 1 - i

_ “Not at all; my time and attention are likely to be entirely absorbed in business.” .

“No one can rejoice more sincerely l inlj’r,Our good fortune than I do, Samuel. : . : ¢ don’t doubt it, Evalina; I shall always feel confident of your friendBRip : I leave Evalina at her cottage gate, _and I feel that : , l ‘Of all the glad words of tongue or pen ~ The gladdest are theso—" 1t wasn't to have been,” The next afternoon my employer invited me to be seated behind the railing that fenced in our office, and said he, laying his hand on my should- | “SBamuel, . reflecting upL R A g;ffwwfﬁw%@gﬂ Avorable gir-

Rarely is there such an opening for a young man, Consult our books, consider our profits, reflect ‘upon the income of the postofice—" “Sir,” interrupted I, in thundering tones, “by the blessing of Providence and the benevolence of my aunt, who is to haye a monument that will bring a glow.to the bosom of the President of our Cemetery Asseciation; I am now the recipient of a modest competence; and shall I squander more years of precious life on vulgar, soulwearying dry goods and groceries, subject ever to the fluctuations of Amoskeags and Pepperells, or shall T live on my income and avail myself of the humanizing influences of leisure and culture?

No more shall the brown paper bag and the white cotton string mingle in all my dreams! Sir, I hate tea, detest saleratus, abhor cod-fish, and loathe that postoffice and three-cent stamps!” I was done, and I know by the hush that fell upon that store that whatever else I might be, I was an orator.

It | is a war rate maintained and collected in a time of peace, when values have shrunk and business is depressed to an extent never before seen-in this country. It is arate whichis making mon-ey-lenders, and fast increasing money borrowers. The former increasing their wealth at the expense of men. who are struggling hard to reach a little home in which to house wife and babies, .or perchance to keep the one already improved by days of toil, It 18 not to cultivate ill feeling toward the men whom God has blessed with capital that we direct our effort for reform in this matter, but to save the thousands who are struggling and denying themselves the comforts of life in order to pay the demands of the money lender, charging his extreme rates, that we are laboring to relieve.: No person in this State to-day, can afford to pay ten per: cent, for money and do business of any kind upon bor- | rewed capital for any great length of | time and not go to the wall. No farmer can afford to mortgage his farm at ten per cent. No laboring man can afford to borrow at that rate with wages at 75 cents'and a dollar a day. No person can afford to build or manufacture with money loaned at that rate. The moth of ten per cent.. between individuals, and twelve per . cent. compounded at the banks, will eat them up.

Romanee of a Farmer Who Married [ Oaxland (Mo.) Correspondence to the Wheeling He A ; Register.] o - ~Thirty-three years ago a family nam‘ed Benton, consisting of father, mother, son and daughter, resided in one of the Western States, near a small town called Blank., The father was ‘wealthy and lived in style, and his daughter Mabel, a child between two - and three years of age, was always elegantly dressed, and George, the son, a boy of seven, was preparing to enter. -an Eastern school. One day litile Ma‘bel disappeared, and her parents never : heard of her again, although they spent thousands of dollars in searching for her, The heart-brokén mother died soon after the loss-of her darling, - and the father wandered over this country and Europe, and finally settled in New .York, where he died.— George grew to manhood, and the ‘memory . of his lost sister was almost effaced from his mind. In his twentyseventh year, while visiting a married {riend, he fell in love with the govern€ss of his friend’s children, abeautiful girl of about twenty-three, and after . some months they were married, and lived happily for five or six years, a boy and girl being born to them during that fime. - . : .

~ By the death of an uncle in San Francisco George was left a considerable fortune, and the lawyer who conveyed the intelligence to him also said ‘that his sister’s career had been traced. A tramp on his death-bed ina St. Louis police station confessed that he and two companions had stolen little Ma- : bel Benton for her clothes and a locket which she wore, and that she had continued with them for several years. when her bright, pretty face attracted the attention of a kind-hearted lady in Ohio, who adopted her and senther to_school, where she remained until her patroness died. Mabel then be~ came a teacher in a large school in Cincinnati, but as her health began to fail her, she applied for a position as * governess, and was now in the family of Mr. M., or at least that was the last place he had heard of her being in. “What was the name of the family - she was with ?” asked George. |

“M-— was the answer. & “What name did my sister have ?” “Mabel Ferris.” ; e

-“My God!” cried George, in agony. “Why, she has been my wife for five years.” - & - Upon further investigation this proved to be the truth, and the girl nearly went crazy; as she was adevout ‘Episcopalian. A separation ensued, all property being equally divided. The children: were placed with friends, as neither parent could bear the sight of vhat was to them the fruit of a crime against God and man. The poor girl Js still living in’ a quiet city in EN ew England, while the husband and brother, after spending all his property save a few hundred dollars in dissipation, shut himself off from all eommunication with his friends, and is to-day a poor farmer-in this county of Garrett, -among strangers, and where few know his sadly remarkable story, - ;

“Well, what of the futuare? We will make another prediction, and mark if our words do not come true.. The republican party is destroyed by the treason of Hayes dand his blind followers. The party will never again carry “the election in the State of Ohio. In . less than three years the party will be - -as dead in Ohio as it is jn South Carolina or Mississippi. There isonly one ‘“mode for salvation; and that is to call a convention and reorganize the party on. republican principles, and kick Hayes and his'rebel crew overboard, -and seg that the constitutional amendments are obeyed. But we have very little hopes of such action being taken. “The ‘fool friends, of Hayes will be todies and lick-spittles for the sake of ~a few little Post-Offices, and the grand old party of equal rights wilkbe known ‘no more, only as a thing of the past.
