That Pauper. Oid Abner Marsden moved uneasily in his big arm-chair. "Seems to me Luce is a mighty long time getting that water," he muttered, as he rose and hobbled to the end of the cottage porch. He put aside the vines that screened the view and looked down to- wards the lower end of the garden, where a cool sprang gurgied up from the earth. Well, if she ain't talkin' again with that pauper Ang Howland," growled the old man. Luce. Say, Luce, I want yoa 1" be called. I'll be there in a minate, father," called back a comely girl of eighteen, who stood near the spring chatting with a plainly-dressed youth of about the same age. She reached for the pail of water which A ngus How land still held in his hand, and said with a smile, I must go, Ang father wants me." It seems to me, Luce," said A ngus, as h»* gave her the pail, "that your father always wants you when he sees me aronnd. He hates me for some reason, but if it's all right with you I can stand it." t ucia looked troubled as she said, "Good- bye,Ang," and turned towards the house. Old Marsden was an extremely illiterate in;tri, bat in business ventures he had always been successful, and now, though a confirmed invalid, his head was fail of schemes and de- vices, and he used to sit for hours at a time planning measures by which his hoard of wealth might be increased. Luoia took after her mother, who had been "a powerful good woman," so people said. Luce," said the old man, as she appeared at the door, "1 want this to be the last of your talking with that good-for-nothing lont, Ang Howland. The idea of a likely girl like yon talking friendly with such trash! I won't have it, and if be don't steer clear I'll give him something to remember me by," and the old man shook his big oak cane vigorously. "1 do not see why you shoald dislike him so, said Lucia. *• He has a bard time getting along, but that isn't his fault. His father was cut out to die in the poor- house, yelled the old man, and why didn't he die there ?" Because," Lucie answered. "Ang worked nard and took care of the old folks." Her father scowlfd. Old Howland was -otended for the poorhonse, and no good comes of fightin' Providence. He died with- out & cent., and so will the young feller. Rut that aii) t the point; there are plenty of fellers 'round here that has money, but ther^ ain't many sech gals as you be, 1 reckon. Why, Luoe, you have the ohoice of the town, and it's your solemn duty not to he rash." The miserly features of the old man relaxed ttomewhac as he admired his daughter's iOinely looks. He experienced a kind of fatherly affection for her, and was even willing to spend money freely that she might make a good appearance. Whenever he saw her dressed in some new article of apparel he would mutter to himself: "It's all right; it will all come back. I know a good invest- ment, for I have made a good many-yes, a good many." A few evenings after the event above men- tioned Lucia was walking in the garden, VQen she heard someone tap lightly on the {ate, and in the moonlight saw Angns How- 1811<1. He wants to see me," she thought, as she hurried through the lilacs to the garden patn. Father will miss me if I am goti- °ng, said Lucia, on approaching, but we an visit for a minute." owr^K00' 8aV? ^n £ as> I have come to say & ye. Yonr father says for me to keep Away from you because I am poor, and he doesn't want you to marry a pauper. Well, I tLTf away for five years and when I jome back I II be rich-rich enough to suit ^our father, he exclaimed excitedly, striking the fence a heavy blow with his fist. I don't care about your being so rioh," said Lucia. I'll like you just as well if vou are poor, but don't stay away so long," and the looked beseechingly into his face. You may have bad lack, you know, and not earn very muoh after all, but I'll think jast as much of you. Are you going far ?" she asked, look- ing down at the ground. To California," said Augos, and I know just what I shall do when I get there, too. Father often told me of a valley in California where ail sorts of frait will grow almost without cultivation. Father wanjered down there when he was out among the mines, and, being used to a fruit oountry, he knew just what a wonderful place it was. He'd have gone there himself if his sickness hadn't come on, but he told me about it tune and again and he gave me this little map," and owland took an old torn paper from his pocket and carefully opening it pointed oat to Lucia by the bright moonlight which broke through the trees the Eldorado of his and ambition. That valley is mine," wees. "an(* ana going there and plant "Luce!" called old Marsden from the Bouse, where be yoa ?" «< ufn am" f8tber," Lueia replied. • u I aeema me that you are a Slightly long time gone," cried the old man, but come to the house, for young Hinton is here and wants to see you." Luoia saw the troubled look that calDe into Howland's face and bastiljr murmured: "Father wants me to marry him, but I won't; I'll marry you. Be sure and write often and don't stay so long," she pleaded, as she raised her face for a farewell kiss. The next morning old Marsden said to his ianghter with an inquisitive look Young Hinton didn't stay long last night, did he p" No," answered 1 ,ucia, not very long." Did he ask you to have him P" added the id man. 11 Yes, father, he did," answered Lucia," but told him I couldn't." Told him you couldn't!" screamed the old liau. Why couldn't ye ?" I. Because I don't love him," said the ianghter, looking her father steadily in the sye. Love him, Luoe I tell ye people don't marry for love. They marry to make a good thing. When they get the worst of it it's like any other bad bargain but young Hinton has money, and, Luce, you'd better change your mind and send him word that you like him well enough. I'll give yon a good start, and you'll find out that you have a pretty .ood old dad after all." Lucia kissed her father, but replied," Not him. I can neVBr marry him." £ j crept slowly by and brought their | asuai round of bright and cloudy days. Luoia lie. bad grown taller and more beautiful. Her tip father was still as grasping as ever. I agree g with you, Luce, he used to say, there's no •pedal hurry tut you drop them almost too quick sometimes, it seems to me.r One day be hobbled iuv» the room where Luoia sat at work and said in a severe, low tone, I bear that you get letters from that Ang Howland. Is it true I have received letters from him," Luoia replied, and he is doing very well, I under- stand." "I don't care how he is doing. That feller'H die poor," growled the old mau. He went outside and sat down on the garden bench. I'll see Cicely," said be, with a crafty took on his face. Cicely was the girl who sorted and dealt eut the mail at the village post-office. Not long after this Lucia ceased receiving letters with a California post-mark. Time passed, and it was now nearly ten years since Lucia and Angus had stood at the garden gate and said good-bye. Old Marsden had fallen into a state of despondency so utterly abjeot that Luuia was sometimes on the point of yielding to his wishes, but she thought, I'll wait a while longer; some- thing has happened, or he'd never have broken his word." One day her father called her to him. He was unable to get about the house now, but lay propped up in his chair all day with his eyes closed, a very unhappy old man. "Luce," said he, I'll make short work of it. The last investment I made I staked all and I lost- It was the first time, Luce, and your poorfather has made many a bargain in his day, but this time has outdone them all. In a month from now we woa't have a house to cover our heads. I hoped this siokness might hurry me off, but I see it's going to give me time, and I'll have to go to the poorhouse, Luce, unless," and the old man looked at her pitifully, un- less you save your old dad." I'll work fcr you cried Lucia. You shall never go to the poorhouse." And she was more tender in the caie uf her father after that. One day as she stood near her favourite bed of flowers, sadly thinking how soon she would have to leave them, a voice broke the silence of her meditations. "1 beg your pardon, but your flowers look very pretty and I had to stop to admire them, and looking up Lucia saw a tall, well-dressed gentleman standing at the garden gate. u I raise a great many flowers myself," said the gentleman, and I always take an interest in them, but I live in a flower country, where they grow ninch more luxuriantly than here." Lucia gave a startled leok-but no: bow foolish; it couldn't be be. Angus Howland could never have developed into suoh a hand- some man. I declare, Luce, you don't know me," said h<? gentleman, with a smile. Oh, Ang I know you now, for you speak with your old voice, but you have been away a long time." You stopped writing, and I read in a California paper that you were married," said Angns, but recently I learned that it was a false report, and I am here ouce more to ask rnii to he mine." J Father, this gentleman wiehes tb see you,' said Lucia as she ushered Howland into her father's room. The old man opened bis eyes and murmured: Well, have a chair." "I understand that you have suffered a misfortune," said the gentleman, kindly. The old man groaned. FU have to die in the poorhouse there's no help for it." It may not be so bad as that," said the gentleman. The old man turned on him fieroely. What do you want with me, I'd like to know ? Ain't it bad enough to be ruined, but a lot of vultures have got to come and hover around me before I'm dead ?" I have been investigating the matter," said the gentleman, 11 and I am sore that it is not so bad as you think, and here is evidenoe hat you will not be turned out of your home at any rate," and he opened before the old man's eyes the cancelled mortgage. The place is yours," said the gentleman, and all vour other property is safe, for 1 have been making investigations." Who are you," cried old Marsden, that comes at such a time and saves me froin the poorhouse ?" -1 It is not so bad as that," said the gentle- man smiling, but my name is Angus How- land." The remaining few months of the old man's life worked a great change in his cha- raoter. One day when the autumn leaves were turning he called his children to him. ó, Good-bye," said be, I am going. You are i good boy, Ang, and will make her happy," and he closed his eyes for ever.— Chicago News.

THE REQUEST. tequelaurewaa far from handsome. One day he met a very plain-looking Auvergnat, who bad come on an errand to Versailles, and presented him to the- King himself, saying that he was under h.. greatest obligation to this gentleman. The King granted the favonr Hpplied for and inquired the natare of the obligations which the Duke bad incurred towards the applicant. "Ah! sire," said Roquelaure, but for this fellow 1 should be the ugliest man in your kingdom."

HIS SPECULATIONS. He was a speculator, and for a year nothing had been coming his way except expenses. Misfortunes never flock by themselves. One day his daughter iuformed him in a cold and unfeeling manner that if he did not give her a diamond tiara worth at least £ 150 she would elope with the coachman. Come to my arms, my darling child," he exclaimed, as the t^ars of joy coursed down bis wrinkled cheeks, come to my arms." Do I get the nara ? sh asked, hesitating ere she accepted the in- vitation. "Uf course not," he smiled de- lightedly, you get the coachman I owe him eight months' wages." That ended it.

THE DINNER. Mrs Jones: Now, don't forget, and be sure to send the loin of veal I bought, and also some bones for soup; but I want the ribs of the loin separated, and the bones made quite small. It is all to be sent in for the childrttll's dinner. Butcher: John, cut up every one of Mrs. Jones's loin, smash every hOlle she's got as small as you can, and then send the lot off as quick as you can for the little Jones's dinner.

FlEli GIFT. A young lady presented her intended with a beautiful worked pair of slippers, and be acknowledged the present by sending her his picture encased in a handsome frame. He wrote a note to send with it, and at the same time replied angrily to an oft-repeated dnn for an unpaid-for suit of clothes. He engaged a boy to deliver the package and notes. The young lady received a note in her adored one's handwriting, and &w to her room to devour its contents. She opened the missive with eager fingers, and read, "1 am getting tired of your everlast- ing attentions. The suit is about worn out already. It never amounted to much, anyway. Please go to thuudtsr I" And the tailor was utterly struok dumb when he opened a paroel and discovered a portrait of his delinquent customer, with a note that said, When you gaze upon my features think how much I owe you." When the un- fortunate young man called that evening to receive the happy acknowledgment of his sweetheart he was very quickly shown off the doorstep by the young lady's father.

1,.ttl.lt says:—" A speecli delivered hy the Human Catholic Hishop of Mlford. at a temperance meeting Rt Ashton-under-Lyne was so iwnsible and moderate that it deserves notice.

This is a dnctriiic that I have always preaclied. It is, indeed, a pity that more temperance reformers are 1101. as reasonable and as practical as the Hisliop of Halfoid." A large measure of the success of the Golden Sunlight Ale may be attributed to the fact that it is brewed on these lines, and will compare favourably with the ordinary bitjh- coloured, strong, heady ales. It is brewed from malt prepared from the finest Herefordshire bar- ley, and most delicately flavoured with hops, called "VVoi'-ters," but, really grown in tne rich, fertile valloys of Ilerefordsbiro.

Mr. Johnson, says the Christian World, is minister of the Baptist Providence Chapel, Penknap, near Westbury—a chapel with no baptistery.

Mr. Kir Hardie began life as a trapper boy in & mine, could riot read or write at twelve, but edited t pitper before he was twenty. A strong tee-1 totaler, an inveterate smoker, a plain-spoken, plain-looking mil", he was the first to insist upon the legal eight hours day at a Trader Union con- gress and upon him cnuie the fiercest attacks of the older Trades Unionists. He was, also, the first to come forward its an independent labour candi- date, and for a long time (says a writer in I he Pall Mall Gazette) carried about in his pocket three farthings to represent the gold of the Tories, with which he was supposed to have fought the Mid Lauark election. Like Lady Jeune, Mr. Pigott (the Examiner of Plays) hits not a very exalted opinion of the morals of the West-end. In his evidence before the Select Committee on Theatres and Places of Amusement, Mr. Pigott said I have always found this—that the equivocal, the riaky, the immoral, and the indecent plays are intended for West-end audiences; coriainly not for the East- end. The further east you go the more moral your audience is; you may get a eallery lull of roughs it, which every other boy is a pick- pocket, and yet their collective sympati,y is in tavuur of self-sacrifice collectively they have a horror of vice and a terocious love of virtue.

For some time past, says the Hospital, a New York physician hila been making experiments on the herediiary transmission of mutilations, using for the purpose white mice, owing to the rapidity with which they breed. The results have now been published. He bred his small rodents in-and-in for 96 generations, destroying all the Bickly progeny, thus obtaining R larger specimen than the original pair. In order to produce a perfect breed of tailless mice he sslected a pair, placed them in a cage by themselves, and clipped the tails off all the younc When those were old enough to breed he repaated the process with a selected pair, continuing till. after obtaining some young in the seventh genern- tion without tails, he finally got a breed of tailles.. mice. A breed of mice with their normal appen- dageo, and doubtless a smirk ot satisfaction at their recovery, was again obtnined by taking one mouse with a tail and one without, and alternating the sexes in each generation. The result was, uo doubt, more satisfactory and interesting to the doctor than to the mice who were his victims.

DAY BY DAY Friday was the anniversary of the frightful accident to the Irish express at Abergele in 1868. "The Hampstead Treasure" is a heading seen in all the papers just now. Does it refer to Mr. Alfi ed Davies ? Dr. Parr, a mild looking Socialist, is mentioned as Mr. Riches' opponent for the representation of the Park Ward of Cardiff next November. Mr. J. Young Evans, B.A., who has been appointed professor at Trevecca College, will commence duties when the college re-opens in September. Sir E. J. Reed (says the London Echo) has j ined Mr. Labouchere. Mr. Pickurd, Mr. S. Woods. Mr. OHborne Morgan, nnd Mr. Stuart upon the "candid friend" bench in tho House. Mr. J. Rushton Turnock, of the Yspitty Tin- plate Works, who has been confined to fli" bed for over six months, is now better, and hopes shortly to be able to attend to business. A feature of Hearth and Home this week is an interview with Mrs. Mary Davies, the famous songstress, who explains why she does not regret giving up Wales for London as a place of resi- dence, and tells how shecametoaing "Twicken- ttatn Ferry." Next month there will be held at Ll'indrindod, and that fur the first time in the history of tile place, a two-tia\ s Congregational Singing Fest ivalf called "Cymanfa yr Ymwelwyr" (The Visitors' Festivnl). The conductors will be Messrs. Emlyn Evans and David Jenkins, Mus. Hac. One of the befit accounts that has been written of the memorable battle between Carnegie's men and the Pinkertons is that which Mr William Evitw, Brynawel. Swansea, has received from a. friend of his, who liolds a responsible position at the Homesteid Works. The description would make about two columns. A Dolgelly young lady, Miss Blanche Smith, now residing at Montpelier, has taken the degree of Mus. Bac. rile merit of this success is partly impaired by the fact that, the degree was taken from the University of Toronto, against which there has heen such a vehement and persistent cry amongst, leading English musicians. "School Datice Office" is a sign in the win- dow of the Cardiff School Board Ollices, and a man bas to be kept in the street to explain to hundreds who stop, gaze, and ask every day that Mr. Lewis Williams and his colleagues have not gone in for teaching deportment and tlle- tripping, but that the syllables "atten are miss- ing through the bru»king of a pane of glass.

Even tlie Star speaks well of Mr. J. Allan Ron", who has just been made a baron. Says our con- temporary Mr. Rolls, of The Hendrf, is a type uf the class of country gentlemen who don't be" come llIlY more distinguished by being peer*.

Some of these are not to be found even in LhlJ Ptmiarth Collection There is trouble ahead for some of the retiring Liberal councillors at Cardiff next November, if they veuture to seek re-election. Mr. Mildon and Mr. Noah Rees are the only two spoken of with any degree of affection by Mr. R. N. Hall's paper, mid as for Mr. Kamsdale and Mr. Peter Price, it is said that a dend set is to be made against them, and that labout candidates will be brought out in their wards. Mr. P. Morel is to share the same fate. ArcLee )!ngiats blend their antiquity with fun. At the Cambrian meeting in Llandilo one worthy asked for a derivation of the Ogam. One of the archaics confessed his inability to tell, but said it was clad that Ham came from Og. Another com- mented on the fact that the carminiferous word b——y, used by navvies, is really a pious expres- sion derived from" by'r lady." In Pembrokeshire it is called bladdy, which showa how the trans- formation began. Deio," an expletive in Wale", is derived from the Deity.' If a Welshman visited Canteibury this week he would be startled to find posters on all the walls announcing that the Rev. J. Pulestou Jonas, B.A., Bangor, is to prench in Canterbury Cathedral to. morrow, and that the mayor and corporation wili be in attendance. Whilst on a visit to Oxford at few weeks ago Mr. Puleston Jones met Cnnon Freemantle at Professor Jowett's house, and the canon was so charmed wilh the brillinnt young Calvinistic Methodist prencher that he invited him to preach the annual sermon at the French Chapel attached to the cathedral. During his stay in Canterbury Mr. Jones will be the guest of Cnnon Freemantle. It is needless to add that Mr Puleston Jones is a nephew of Sir John Pulestoo. The earthquake shock produced some rollicking incidents at. Aberayron and neighbourhood. The Bishop of Bangor (who is staying at his native place, Llanarthl got up from bed thinking his boys were on mischief bent. The manager of the National Provincial Bank, Aberayron, thought burglars had come for gold. Mr. David Williams, shoemaker, thought it was ellts on the ceiling; Mrs. John Hugh Jones thought a huge wagon »«» passing -by; Mr. John Roberts looked under his bed, believing some wags or burglars were rocking "im to sleep. The effect on clocks was marvellous and peculiar. At Llyswen Mill an old clock which had stopped -hort" for years began to go again.

A clock at Counptoa H'Juae was so thoroughly disorganised Unit it eixulaied the clock on which Will Bryan had been operating (vide lihys Lewis"), and went on striking incessantly in celubration of the event. Several men v»«d to hold it before it would become calm again. Speaking bitterly of the manner in which the Rndicals have been ignored by the &.O.M- the South Wales Radical says that, the innre thoroughly ii man is in touch nit.ii iIm people the more cer- tainly he finds htmsotf marked for exclusion. "Tlie t-tctis," says Mr. R. N. Hall's paper," it taken a very long time for public opinion to forca itself up through the tiers and rsnks of classes and offices, and make its«lf felt in the quarters where power is wielded. Take that object lesson familiar to readers of this column, the Cardilf Corpora- tion, The citizens of Cardiff, as a whole, regard the past and recent policy and spirit of the corporation with disapproval. Yet how vain are the efforts to purge it itftd bciog it into accord with popular sentiment. A glance at the list of men who are to be iiiavorg-we beg pardon, kings of Cikrdiff-for the next half dozen years is enough to show the hopelessness of effect- ing any real reform in the economy of the council." To give poirt to these remarks, we may explain. that among the possible mayors of the next six years will be Councillors W. E. Vaughan, Ebenezer Beavan, Mi. Trnl/llce, and Dr. James.
