TROTTY.

'Ob, don't strike him!'

'L

head, and small, gray eyes, bloodshot and stupid, as toe sweet, pleading voice fell apon his ear,

Taking advantage of this moment of hesitation, Pearl Rosedale glided between the fctiung man and toe shivering, crouching victim of bis fury, saying: •Run now, Trotty!'

The figure rose from its bending posture, ana showed a loose jointed, shambling form, tall if it was ever held erect, but always stooping forward, the head far too small, with low, retreating forehead, and straw colored hair falling carelessly over the light blue, vacant eyes. 'Runt' Pearl said again, and he fled away with an odd, sidelong movement that was one of poor Trotty's peculiarities. 'I wi»h you wouldn't interfere between me and the hands, Pearl,' Job Garland growled, twisting in his hand the stout oaken stick which he had raised over Trotty. 'You will spoil that boy.' 'Oh, Uncle Job, it hurts me to see you strike him. God has afflicted him so sorely. Who 1s he?' 'He is Widow Far roll's idiot son.' 'I see he is an idiot, and hear you call him Trotty.' 'His name is Godfrey Farrell. Ho was a smart boy enough till he fell off a bay wagon, five years ago, and addled his wits.' 'Don't strike him again—don't uncle, for my sake!' pleaded Pearl. •Well, well. But he's awfully aggravating, too.'

hon these two, so ill matched, went into tho wide farm kitchen, where patient Mrs. Garland was spreading the table for supper.

The soft summer air stealing through the open door tossed from Pearl's fair face the cloud of light, llossy ringlets of palo golden color, and showed the dellcato oval outline, the clear cut features, the winsome mouth, and largo, violet eyes. She was of medium height, sien"er and graceful, and the patrician elegance of her face, the dainty finish of

der and graceful, and the pi se, the dain ig dress, presented' the strongest possible contrast to tho coarse, heavy features of her uncle, or the faded face of his wife.

Ignorance and education—low, brutal tastes and delicate refinement—these were a portion of the points of difference between Job Garland aud his wife and Pearl Rosedale.

Years ago, when Job Garland was a young max, his pretty sister Grace bad married Paul Rosedale, an artist, who had taken her away from the rude farm life to share bis own home. He was wealthy, and they had travelled far and wido— to Italy, where Pearl was born to Paris through the British Isle* back to America, where Grace died.

Pearl was then ten years old and from the hour when the oofBn lid closod over her mother's faoc, Paul Rosedale could scarcely bear to have the child out of his sight. Together they read in French, in German, in Italian, the words of poeta and philosophers. Together they drew music from violin and piano, till inspiration seised the artist, and he would take his brush and draw forth creations of beauty, while Pearl hung ovor his chair, and forgot all else in life watching his nngere.

She kuew nothing of domestic life, for her home had boen in hotels and boarding houses from her very babyhood. She knew but little of needle work, for her fathor always had an elderly woman to care for his darling's wardrobe, and to be her companion when he was away but though she knew llttlo of woman* work, Pearl was womanly to the very tips of her tapering fingers.

Tho quick intellect was not masculine, gathering the sweets of literature, without probing Its depth of knowledge the deft fingers that could wander through such bewilderlug mases of music attempted no mysteries of thorough bass, no effort at original composition the artlstlo taste that made prettj sketches and btyou pictures never reached the genius to create a masterpiece.

Loving, tender and true, the child knew no life but her father's life, found no voice to touch her heart as his touched it, no face so lovely to her eyes as his feoe. She was seventeen, aud had dreaded herself in white to celebrate her birthday, bad twisted a few roses In her golden curls, and donned some trifling ornaments to greet her father. His good ulght kiss had been given there a row hours before, and he was dreaming over a finished painting, suggested by Pearl—a group of children opening a closet full of quaint old furniture and dresat*. Tho llttlo onee were robed iu odds and ends of century old garments, and perched in antique armchairs, or standing beside grotesque w« lowering over their tiny figures. It was a charming picture and there was love of children! every line of iU Pearl called It her picture, for she bad chosen every mod«l, had washed and dressed them, had ooaxed them to stand quiet with caudles and fiatry stories, had won th* mothers' hearts completely by her praises of their children, more predous than the dollars paid for their services

And before the lovely picture, with every cherub face smiling upon hlsquiet figure, Pearl found her tether dead. Without pain, In a aalm sleep he had left child and feme to Join his wife in spirit never knew bow the next tow came and went. From long insenfrom delirious raving, she wakened to kndw that she was orphaned. I Tenderly and faithfully Mis. Hunt, her companion, had nursed her back to lift, and ahe was able to look her desolation in the flsoe. Her guarulana, fri*ods of

1

her father, and trustees of his will, told her there was wealth that would give her luxury for life, bat ahe was atone. They tola her, also, of her mother's

So she wrote she was coming, bade Mrs. Hunt a tearful farewell, loading her witn presents, and promising to retted for turn sometime to the

loving welcodae, the seclusion and quiet she felt sure awaited her in ber mother's old home.

The shock to her sensitive nature may be imagined when, instead of the frank, noble farmer of her imagination, she found a coarse, cruel man, who was besotted with liqnor more than half the time, a woman who had no idea above pigs and poultry, baking and brewing, cowed to craven submission by absolute fear of her husband, and a son who was almost if not equally as cruel as his father, and as narrow minded as his mother.

Poor Pearl! Twenty-four hours of tbe coarse life was like a week of misery to her. And yet, strange as it may seem, she met there what her hungry b«art now seemed to crave most of all, afTection.

The one soft spot remaining in Job Garland's heart was tbe memory of his sister Grace, and what of love was left in tbe besotted nature turned to his sister's ciiiid.

Grace had been, like Pearl, fair haired with beautiful *io'et eyes shaded with olden lashes and Pearl very soon found that she could influence her uncle as no one else in the household could do.

He would actually leave his liquor to walk with Pearl, and more than once a blow upon his wife's bent bead was averted by Pearl's shocked cry. And the aunt, patient, down trodden slave, ignorant ^nd drudging, looked upon the fair girl as an angel. Pearl's dainty hands were ill fitted for labor, but many steps wore saved the weary woman by her light feet, many a load was taken from her overtaxed frame by Pearl's willing hands.

She would have left Ohio at onoe but for this love this consciousness of brightening something of tbe dreary, monotonous life. But seeing how they loved her, she tried to find happiness even there.

When she arrived, Charles Garland, ber uncle's only son, was away from home, but in the evening when Trotty was saved from a beating he came home from a pork selling expedition to Cincinnati. and Pearl's heart shrunk away from him with a repulsion that was almost horror.

He was a giant in stature and frame, and on his burly body was set a largo featured, coarse face, with a heavy bull neck to support It. Dark hair curled in thick rings over bis bead, and his large, gray eyes were set under heavy, shaggy eyebrows

He ate heartily, staring at Pearl till she was ready to feint with terror, and then be took his father by tbe arm and sauntered out. 'Who is she?' be asked. •I told you. She Is your cousin, your Auut Grace's gal.' 'But bow came Bbe here?' 'Lost her father and her mother!' .gp 'So we've got to support her?' 'No, we haint, either. She's got a big pile o'money of her own, when she comes of ogo. 'Nough to buy this rotten old farm an' never miss tbe price on it.'

Along whistle met this statement. 'By Jove, dad, I'll marry ber! She is pretty enough for anybody to eat, an' I'll soon knock the line lady airs out of ber.' 'Not if I know it!' retorted his father fiercely. 'Marry her if she'll have you. but she ain't one's own sort to be clipped over tho head with a stick. I'll not stand by and see her abused and sol tell you.' 'Gorush, dad! A tody would think I was a killin' your wax doll now! Keep our dander aown. I ain't a-touchin' of er.' 'You had better not, either!' muttered the old man, savagely. 'Hullo! what's that?'

That proved to be Trotty, curled up„in a ball at the foot of a tree, fast asleep. Chartos Gardner thought it a fine joke to lift him on bis hugo foot and send him spinning through the air, to fall bruisea and aiszy several feet beyond, and his loud, brutal laugh greeted the performance as If It was a circus clown's witticism. The boy rose, rubbing him self and crying, and looked at bis tormentor.

I'd like to kill you!' he muttered in bis impotent fury, as be hobbled away in his shuffling, side walking fashion. •And if I ever catch you asleep, I'll do It.'

Trotty knew but little. His numbed faculties were incapable of connecting ideas of cause and effect yet, in his dull fashion, he felt that his infirmities did not excuse the cruelties of tbe Garlands, father and son: and he hated them with tbo fierce, vindiotive hatred that is often the strongest emotion In weakened Intellects.

And In proportion to his hatred for his tyrants grow his devotion for Pearl. He knew well tbat It was her Intercession that saved him many a brutal flogging for his neglected tasks and before she nad been a month at the ferai he oould possibly have counted on all his fingers tbe number of times she had sheltered him.

Once a heavy whip lash fell upon her white arm, interposed to screen him and Trotty wept over the crimson welt as he seldom wept over his own bruises and blows.

He followed the girl ltke a dog, content to lie at ber feet and look into her eyes as ahe read, or took ber violin to forget her Borrows in tbe sweet sounds tbat seemed to bring her father's spirit to ber side.

She was fond of wanderiug alone tn the woods, a mile from the bouse, tu rwad or play, and It never startled or annoyed her to find the idiot boy creeping out (Tom among the trees to lie at ber feet, and listen to ber music, or bear her voice talking to htm. Her pity for him, her

Sm,

oil* tenderness of tone in speaking to her tolerance of bis presence, increased at every interview tbe idiot's worshipping love, till It wai a little thing to say he would have died to spare her one sorrow.

But Trotty never came forward when diaries Garland was Pearl's companion in her walks. The young giant wooed the feirgirl, as be thought, most acceptably, and die endured him only for tbe sake of his parenta, navar dreaming of the vain hopea whteh ber gentleman inspired.

Her sorrow was too young yet for ber to think of tbe fature. Every instinct of her nature warned her that she could not long endure ber present 11%, bat she made no plana as yet. Fiends sLehad made In plenty, bat her father's rattan wandering firom place to place bad left feeltai

brother. Job Garland, who lived in Ohio upon a large farm, and there arose in the bereaved heart a reat longing to go to this uncle. Her memories of her mother were so tender the fair, gentls face was still so fresh in her mind that she was sure it would be almost like having Ler parents again to be with her ancle and aunt.

ty where books, music and tbo refinements of life would be hers again. In tbe meantime she bsd quiet, and seclusion, and love, even if it was rough in its expression.

Upon such vague dreams as these broke one day tbe spoken wooing of her Cousin Charles. They were In a favori:e spot of the wood, when he said words whose import could not be mistaken words which were dictated by a wild yearning love for the gentle girl beside him, as well as a desire to handle her ricbes.

She was not eighteen, this Pearl of whom I write, but sbe had dreamed her love dreams as well as others—pure, in nocent visions, with an ideal hero for a centre. But love never pictured such a wooer as this one, who had taken her band into his own huge palm, and bent his ooarse face to peer into ber shrinking eyes. 'Ob, Cousin Charles,' sbe said, trying to release ber hand, 'I never thought of this—never! Pray let me go! You hurt me!' 'Let you go! When you promise to be my wife!' 'Oh, I never can! Indeed, I never can You will soon forget me! I will go away!' sbe sobbed.

He held her slender wrist firmly in one of his great hands, and swore a hideous, blood-curdling oath tbat he would never release her till she promised to be his wife. 'You think I am not good enough for your dainty ladyship!' he said, 'but I win have you.'

She was feeling a deathlike faintness creep over her, when there was a cry, and in a second the idiot boy sprang down upon Charles Garland's back, acu grasped his throat in his long, bony arms.

Strangling, furious with rage, Charles instantly released Pearl and endeavored to throw off his assailant. Paralyzed with horror, Pearl looked upon the frightful struggle.

Locked together in a horrible embrace the two rolled over and over, till there was a sudden gleam of steel, a knife rose in tbe air, and was plunged into Charles Garland's heart.

Then all life and sense left Pearl, and sbe fell heavily to tho ground. But the idiot, with blood upon bis hands, was turned to a madman. Finding hi* enemy did not move as he drew out the dripping blade, he left him and knelt beside Pearl. 'I've killed bim for you! He's dead! be said. 'You can open your eyes now and go away. Pearl, he can't harm you new. Hush! Sbe is dead, too! Dead! White and cold and dead! Nobody now toput up ber pretty white hands to save Trotty from a beating! Dead! dead!'

They found him crying, beating his breast, and wildly calling on Pearl, with tho bloody witness of his crime lying beside him, and Pearl still white and senseless.

In one of tbe asylums for idiots there is still a shambling, loosely hung man, who is kept alone, because his hands have been dyed in blood, and who has only one joy in his dreary solitude. It is when a sweet faced woman, now past thirty, conies with a tall, handsome man who calls her his wife, to see the poor prisoner on her charity, and plays upon tbe violin, while be lies at her feet, looking into her face. And th? gentle woman calls him 'poor Trotty.'

BETTING ON A SEQUENCE FLUSH.

An Exciting Scene at a Poker'Table. The exciting story entitled "A Raffle for Freedom." which first appeared

the' rounds, remind me of a thrilling scene, of which I was an eyo-witness. The occurence to which I allude happened during the latter part of the war for the rebellion in New York, where I was stopping at tho time, tbe guest of a local politician of some note. My host, one evening, asked me if I would like to "tako in" some of the sights af tbe metropolis and, although not .a country minister, still I bad some of nls itching to "see tne elephant," wbere it oould be done with impunity, away from home, and therefore signified my willingness. We left my friend's house at about 10 p. m., and taking a oar, got off atone of tbe up-town cross stieets—Twenty third, I think,—and ascended tbe steps of a fine marble-front dwelling on that street. Upon ringing tho bell a colored man came to the door, and, exchanging certain cabilistlc sigus and pass-words with my friend, ushered us up Btairs Into a spacious, elegantly-furnished room.

Four gentlemen eat at a table playing the fascinating and illusive game of poker. Three of them nodded to my friend, wbo returned their salutations, and explained to me soto voce,that they were, respectively, a Wall street operator, a cotton broker, and a junior partner in a wholesale dry goods bouse the fourth party being a stranger to him. This latter was a young fellow of. about 22, well-dressed, handsome, and evidently a oomparitive novice at the game.

The stakes were high portentous stacks of chips and bank-notes were piled before each player, and tbe dead alienee and tbe set faces of tbe gamblers betokened that an unusually "still" game was in progress.

Presently, as a hand was dealt, and before the players had seen their hands, the young stranger referred to said "Excuse me, gentlemen, but allow me to ask if we are playing with a sequence flush it is customary, is it not, to settle that matter, aud we have not done so?' "Why," said thegeotton broker, jokingly, "you have not got one there, have you, Harry?" ••That remains to be seen," said the boy. It was agreed tbat tbe sequence flush should be counted in, aud the players took op their bands. I saw a startled expression flash across Harry's face, as he lookwl intontiy at his cards btrdid not draw, and, when his opportunity same, raised the Wall street operator 8100. The dry goods man dropped out the cotton-broker raised Harry 9300 the Wall street party, a large-boned, yeitow-skinned individual, with no more expression in his'aick ly countenance than there is in a brick wall, came in again and raised, and the thing began to get interesting. Tbe betting became terrific. Finally the cotton- broker weakened, and lam down bet Wall street, wbo, I fended, thought Harry waa bluffing, took, as the phrase goea, everything that came along. There waa over 912,010 on tbe table whan Harry puahed back hie chair, andyreaching down, draw from under his feet a small black bag, from which he took a package of erta greenbacks.

Carefully ha counted out |o,000 in the which ware mostly bUla inailon,and pushed theoa

Ono look was enough. Never in my life have I heard a more horrible groan than came from young Harry's lips, and then the worda "Oh! God! what will mother say?" aeemed to burat out of bis mouth, and then be fell upon tbe floor In a fit.

Tbe poor youth bad been betting on a sequence flush tbat was not a sequence fluab, for by some temporary ballucina tion hehadmistakon the aeven of diamonda for an eight, and although he had examined his cards time and time again, aa I had observed, had not been undeceived as to his error. The Wall street man,as he gathered up tbe money, lanoed at the writhing form on the Joor, and eaid as he pouched tbe spoils. "Poor devil," and tben took bis bat ano walked out, while we were endeavoring to revive tbe poor boy.

Tbe rest of the psrty, after calling physician, also left tbe house. I bsve since found that Harry was tbe trusted, confidential clcrk of a large New York contracting firm, and had intended starting for Washington on a late train that unlucky evening, to transact souie im portant business.

Tne money he lost was of course not his own. H9 had dropped in at tbe gambling house to havealitte diversion, while waiting for train time.

I have always had a prejudice against flushes since that evening in

New York. A MAINE SCHOOLMISTRESS. One Maine schoolmistress is thus described: "Sbe is an imposing human structure, not far from seven feet in height, and weighing not less, I think, than 300 pounds. Her voice is fitted to ber size, and ber strength equal to either. She Is pleasing to benold—very bandsome, the A nakim would probably call her." She was sent for once to reduce a. disorderly school to submission. The boys, almost men In stature, had ejected a teacher by force, and smashed their desks. Tbe account continues: "Sbe walked the floof, making ber exordium. Her ruler was like a weaver's beam. Sbe told tbe school why she was there, and serenely Invited those wbo designed to make trouble to begin it at once. Not a creature stirred. After some weeks one young fellow of twenty-one years, who considered himself a beau, began to air his pretensions rather obnoxiously. One stride, and sbe was alongside of the dandy one grab, and tbe dandy was across her knee-r-kicks, howls and scratches were efforts thrown away and amid the struggles of tbe boys not to rend the air witn laughter, and the hysterical shrieks of tbe girls, Adolpbus was disciplined In a style and to a degree that he will remember to his departing day."

The Supreme Court of tbe State of New York lias decided that J. C. AYEB & Co of Lowell, have the sole right to use the words CHERRY PECTORAL for a medicine, and has issued an injunction against F. V. Rushton, of New York City, for selling Rusbton's Cherry Pectoral or Cherry Pectoral Lozenges, or any other use of the name to deceive tbe public. This decision of tbe high court ncludes all dealers wbo sell any similar article.—Port Jefferson (L. I.) Leader.

Dear Sir—I have beeu badly afflicted with Kidney Complaint for ten years have suffered great pain in my back, hips and side, with great difficulty in passing unne, which was often aud in very small quantities, frequently accompanied with blood ana excruciating pain. 1 have faithfully tried most of the popular remedies recommended for my complaint I have been under tbe treatment of some of the most skilful -physicians in Boston, (ill of whom pronounced my case incurable. This was my condition when I was advised by a friend to try the VEOETINE, and I could see tho good effects from the first dose I took, and from that moment I kept on improving until I was entirely cured, taking iu all, 1 should think, about six bottles.

It Is Indeed a valuable medicine, and if I should be attllcted again In the same way I would give a dollar for a dose, If I could not get It without. sp

All Diseases of the Blood..

If VEOETINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health after trying different physicians, many remedies, suffering for years, is it uot conclusive proof, if you are sufferer, you can be cured? Why is this mediciue performing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER. The great source of disease originates in the blood and no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, lias any just cloiiu upon public attention.

Mn. STEVENS Dear Sir—I am seventy-one years of age have suffered many years with Kidney Complaint, weakness in my back and stomach. I was induced by friends to try your VEOETIXE, and I think it the best mediciue for weakness of tho kidneys I ever used. I have tried many remedies for this complsint, and never found so much relief as from tbe VEOETINE. It strengthens and invigorates the whole system. Many of my acquaintances have taken it, and 1 believe it to be good for all the complaints for which it is recommended.

I have for years been a terrible sufferer from Canker and Dyspepsia, at times rendering life almost a burden to me. I am now fifteen 10) pounds heavier than when I commenced the use of VEOETINE.'

I will make mention that I was also a great sufferer from Kidney Complaint, causing excruciating pain through tbe small of the back •early au of the time, nils, too, VKOETIXE has cured,and I am nowa perfect picture of health, and I will add, happiness—all caused from tho use of a few bottles of VEOETINE.
