Sit down, then, on that bench and make yourself confoKable. 'You've been to Chelmsford perhaps? I hen maybe you know the 'Saracens llc.nl?' Well, c'ose lo where that now sta id there used to be an old iun called the 'Swain.' A ijiieer old place it was to be sure, with its casement windows nnd overhanging gables. 1 was living at Kalphau then it's nigh upon sixty years ago a farmer I was, and had been mar ried only n short time to a dear little wife as I loved well and t-ue lill she died, poor hoM I One cold l'eccuiber day I started for lirain'ree, to look at some stock as I thought of buvint:. As it was a two ay's journey, I meant lo s oil at Chelms ford, for the night, and go on early the next day. I didn't leave home ti'l about and 1 had a weary mad to travel, so that the darkness came on be"ore I reached the gibbet on the edge of the common; and I can tell you my flesh crawled, as the saying is, when I galloped pasi at full speed. It was a bleak cold ni 'ht, and the road was bad, so that it was lato belore I rode into Chelmsford. I put up at the 'Swan' th.it being the first inn I came to and wan stand ing watching the ostler rubbing dov i mv ;ood old marc for I always a. tended to that first thing when the landlord came iluwly out to me ; he was a slum, sba;p- faeeil man. with great black eyes that an urn asnv sort of look in 'cm. I told him I had a long ride and wes g'-id enough o get safe into his yard for I d gold iIji nit nic nnd we'd 1ic:m I hoi 'ilile t.des of the robberies and murders on the Knur's lighwav. Well, he showed me Mito a uig low room the kitchen it was with a brick floor and a bright fire burding. "'There's a noisy lot in tin pi.lhir, sir,' cozy he.e, chilly a icr S im lie; 'you II be quiet nml for maybe you're tired nnd your rule in the wiml. 'I ordered a steak nnd some wine, snd, as l ate my supper, I thou .lit to my.se that 1 couldn't well have chosen a belter place than the 'Sw.tn' lo stop at. Aner bad finished I called for pipes and grog and sat by the lire with the landlord, hut 1 might as well havo been alone for he never spoke word, nut sat swripj into the lire with a wickisl look m Ins ey that 1 didn't like, ihonih I didn't take much notice of jt then. Ah, 1 k 'nw now Wlntl M iiiougiHs were ai lie g.t.eil uioiHlily into the glowing coals! lie was thinking of the disgrace broic'ht uihiii his name by his only son, nnd wuiiderinv where the money wa.i to como fnuu which must be procured somehow if his boy was to be saved from ruin. And then no doubt he planned to murder u ah, it's all true, sir I've got bis rontV .cion by me imw ami burry mo down by too riverside, in the uiec.dow behind the stable. Then he mennt to tur.i my timr; out before dawn so that the servant.) might think I had left early; and then, you see, when it was found, people would th;nk something hail happened to me on the roail to Brainlree. Well, my coinp?n;on ruused himself after ft time and bc:n asking me what I thought of the country, if 1 had ridden far, whether I had been advised to put up at the Swan, and such like (iitestions. I answered tin m i'rcely enough, never supposing that he asked them tor any other reason than irs. to kivp up the conversation. I sske I him to call me early and be promised he would do so. ''I'll do it myself,' said he, 'for the gr I and the ostler will be nbed "Then ho called his wife nnd told her to bring me a candle, which she did. She was a coarse-looking, oareworn woman, and I noticed when she showed me to my room that her hand was shaking, and her voice sounded thick as she bale me civil '(!ood-nigb.t.' "My bedroom was a long low room with queer old furniture, quaint carved, chain IHy Re .iid(;i: not. and a great four post hnNioail which Hjomed as big as a hearse. There was no lock to the door, and the bolls wera rusiy. no I could only put the latch dow.i. I thought of luuting a chair ngains, it, but that seemed childish and no jmi.cc.io i alter all. The night was wet and windy and the sky black as ink. Try as I would I couldn't get to sleep, and there. I lay listening to (be ghostly lapping of the ivy leaves against llio window, and think ing ol the evi look in the la nMord s eyes nnd nil the the hurried stories I had ever read came crowding into my mind, when suddenly I started tip in bed, wide awake cnouuh, for 1 heard soinetliiiii' or mime out climbing up the ivy to tny window. I lay with palpitating heart and siiaiuiug eyes, listening to the horrible ghostly rust ling which every moment sounded nearer. "Suddenly a thought struck me; md I arose hastily smoothing the bedclothes, as though the bed had not been s'ept in. t had just lime to creep under ihc bed. when the window was shaken open, nnd somebody softly slipped in. Il was a lean, and. listening intenily, T heard him sigh wearily to himself, as if he were tired out. Then he got into tny bed, drew the elothi'i over him, and in a few minute I heard him snoring. Vou can imagine how pleasant I felt, and the. scamp had my money-bag under his pillow too!" What was to be done? 1 thought of my happy home and and the, dear little wife now perhaps dretnning of nie, and the thought of her gave :ni! coinage. I de termined to snatch at my money and fight for it with the unseen visitor to death if need be. I was crawling from under the bed, when I heard another sound, Hearing the door i his time. In a minute uie latcn was iiiieiiy linen, tno door was .11.1 " .1 l'l. 1 .1 1 I gently pushed open, and 1 saw the laud- lonl glide into the nrom. I hen a hand holding a caudle stole in at the door only a hand ; but I knew those quivering fin gers well enough. The man crept on tiptoe to the bed and, leaning softly over the sleeper, stabbed him to the heart, There was one deep groan and all was over. Hie murderer drew the money from under pillow and crept stealthily to the door, glancing behind him as though he feareil the dead man would tret up and follow him. 'Shaking all over end I crawled from and with hair on my biding plai groped about for my clothes, and, after standing a moment, dazed with horror, followed the guilty couple. Their room was almost opposite mine, and I could see the light under door, which was barely closed. 1 pushed it open and peeped in. The table faced the tloor, and there they stood with their backs to me, so intent upon the money that I crept close to them without being beard. " 'I-ooK, look, l Heard tno man whis per 'there is more than enough to save our buy ! How they shino! And all ours, wife ours I' 'No, mine, murderer I' I shouted with a Toiee of thunder, and, snatching the bag from his nerveless grasp, I dashed the li"ht from the woman's hand and ack swiftly to the room where the dead ma" lay. 'Opening the window, I groped about with one hand for an ivy bough, clmgin Somehow to the sill with the oilier, and at last managed to scramble down, reaching the ground bruised, shaken, breathless. As I rested a moment to gel my breath, I heard from the room above an awful cry sung out m a woman s voice "'My boy, mv buy. my only sou ! 'I clambered over the gate which led into the street. A watch-box stood close by in the square, and I hurriedly told my story to the watchman, lie stalled in horror, as well he might, and wanted to fetch his mate: 'but I (old him we were more than a match for those we should find at the inn, so he came with inc.

" 'Ah,' he whispered, 'it's as I feared I It's their own sou they didn't know he was In iitio. and so lluy mUuuk him for you, sir.'1 'I felt myself turn queer and giddy, for I knew the meaning of that pitiful cry, 'My only son!" "Ami what of the murderers?. They hail not so much us tried to escape, and the door wasn't even barred against us. The woman lay moaning on (he floor; the man sat huddled up in a chair by the bed. Whelf we entered he held out his hands to be manacled without uttering a word. When I told him how it hap pened that his son had fallen a victim in stead of me, he just stared in my face ami made no sigh that he heard the ghastly ta'e. "Well, sir, that's about all.

VITIATING KKIMOCTM OK AU COIIOL. Th.

It is well to be aware of the man who carries his left foot in towards his right in walking, giving the impression that bis right foot turns out and his loft turns in. This man is a natural petty Inrccnist. lie may. perhaps, have never stolen in his life, but that was because of fear or lack of opportunity, but nil the same he is lia ble at any time to sequester unconsidered tnlles tor pure wantonness, lie is ol a kleptomaniac nature, hut he is not nearly so daiiirerous as the man who tlelibcraielv lifts his leg up from the thigh as though he were e-oiin; un-slairs. That man is a natural and an educated villain. In Fii'-- ind, w here the treadmill is u-ed in prison's, many convicts acquire that peculiar st!p; bin it is the natural, careful, cat like tread of the criminal. The iiirl who walks with a flat fool planted squarely on the ground, as though she wauled to grow there, may not be as attractive as the girl with the arched instep, but she is a good deal better nalured. She is sure to be a trood nurse, kind-hearted, symiia thetic, anxious to bear the burdens of others; while the girl with the arched loot is nearly sure to do Hellish, and cer tain to be a coquette if she walks on her Iocs. The man of short, nervous slops is al ways a business man of energy, but if the stride is from the knee only ho is cold ind sellish, carrying for no one but. him self. The man whose stride is long and at the same time energetic is generally bright, always erratic and ill-balance IV . , , I oitcn conceited, always careless, fond of admiration, generally willing to sacrifice much praise and eclat, and while nllen good fellow, generally unreliable. The diplomat and the fianeier have a smooth, gliding walk, hard In describe but easy to recognize. There is nothing sncakiiii about il, but it betokens careful delibera lions, as though every step was carefully considered helore beiuz made, (ireat statesmen and great philanthropists always have a loose, shambling gait, w hich conies from thiiikiug about others more than about themselves. Tha strut of the vain man, the teetering of the "dude," (lit lounging gale of the unemployed club man, are all too familiar to call for a d seription. To say that a person walks like a lady or like a gentleman is hi praise. The gait can never be picked U in alter Hie; it mu-t be born in a man or woman and cultivated in early youth. It is lost to a man when he falls into bad ways, for so surely as he loses his con seiotisiiess ol rectitude and pride of honor so surely will he pick up the gait of the 'oali r. An honest man, gentle or simple. never walks likes a thiol, and a then can never counterfeit the gait of an honest man, b.u in aitomiiting to apply these rules to men one knows it must be re membeivd that ihievos are not caught and all suspected persons are not bad.

Whv do people use or d.ink intoxicants when ail scicuiGc teachings show it only desiruetive, no matter in what form? The nihlet teacher will not u''ow its use in r.uy way. The pugilists, iu (ruining for the manly (?) art, never use it. The great explorers, such as Boss, Livingstone and others, never allowed its use. The best army ufliwrs when they wish their men to e.0 though some very severo exposur, never allow it use. So in every depart ment of I'i'e. The worst feature is that hese facts nro known to every one, in ad- dition to tho knowledge of observation, and still their use finds defenders, Were hey ignorant, they might be excused, ut now it is simply criminal in any one o advocate its use in tny form. AN ANOKIS TOUCH. One eveuiug, not long ago, a little girl f nine or ten entered a place in which is a bakery, grocery, and saloon in one, and asked for five cents' worth of tea. How's your mother?" asked the boy who came forward to wait on her. Awful sick, and eiu't had nothing to eat all day." 1 he boy was jtut thou called to wait upon some mi'ti who entered bis saloon and the gui Sit down, lu live minutes she was nodding, in seven she wai sound asleep, and leaning against a barrel, while she held the pool old nickel in a light grip betweou her thumb uad finger. One of the men saw her ol he came from Ihe bar, and. after asking who she was said : 'Say, you drunkard, sue bore. Here we've been pouring down whikey when (his poor child and mother want bread. Here s a two-dollar loll that says 1 ve got some fooling left.'' 'And 1 can aid a dollar," observed And I'll give another," responded pil ot her. They made up a purse of and even ten lollars and the spokesman carefully put the bill between two of the sleeper's fin ger's, drew the nickel away, and whisper ed to his comrades; 'Just look a here the gal's dream ing. So she was. A big tear had rolled out of her closed eyelids. But the face was covered with a smile. The men tip-toed out, and the clerk walked over and touch ed the sleeping child. She woke with a laugh, and cried out, "What a beautiful dream! Ma wasn't sick any more, and we had lots lo eat and wear, ami my hand burns yet where the angel touched it?" When sha discovered that her nickel had been replaced by a bill, a dollar of which loaded her down with all she enulil carry she iiinocenily said: "Well, now hill ma won't hardly believe mo that you scut up to heaven and got an imgel down to clerk in your grocer."

The Moiosini romance has had its day of popularity, and the city is interested now in new dramas of actual life which border more nearly on the tragic. The elopement of the coachman was followed by several others, more or less comical, and it was apparent thai the epidemic of elope ment had seized upon the young folks. They ran nway under the slightest prov ocation and without the slighcst neces sity. Three or four such follies have been reported in the last day or two. But local interest has been centred chiefly in two or three tragedies, revealing extraordi nary scenes, if not characters, in real life, and now first brought to present light in the courts. One of these reveals the career of the American Cora Peal an American Queen of the demi-lnoitde of Paris. She was quite notorious hero ol late years as she once popular in Paris. She was to be seen daily on Broadway or in the park here just as she used to drive through the Boulevards, across the Place do Con corde, up the incline of the Champs Fly sees and out through (he Bois do Boulog ne of Paris. She was young (lieu. She was handsome even iu mature age. She was a Miss Swart, Fullonville, iu this Slate, and her brother is now private sec rerary of John II. Starin, the river trans portation of ibis port. She married a Mr. T. B. (li'bert. who brought her here, w here oily life intoxicated her.

Here Mrs. (!il In rt was known as Mrs. Lash icr nnd the i'rield ' of a prominent theatrical maiia ger. There was nothing iu her life that was sentimental except her taking leave of it. She left a small fortune which she had accumulated lo a young boy whom she had the delicacy not to claim as her son, lest ho might disown Ik r and spurn her money, and iu case he should refuse or die before accepting she willed that the money is to go to her last lover ! omen arc strange creatures. I slinc'd like to know wlu.t chance she left any moralist to frame a pothetic story about the repen tant sinner or the certain said fate ol vice or the wages of sin, Slc. s u i: W AS AF1CK l II i : I STOP A young woman Iroin tho country was suing her ei-sweolhoart for breach of promise and the lawyers were, us u.-uid, making ul1 so is of inquisitive iutcrraga- torie.

N Id KALO 1 A AN I I i UA 1 AC II K Nothing is so terrible as severe neural gia, and beyond a douU girls acquire it often enough by the conditions of school life. Headaches in a school girl usually mean exhausted nerve- power through ovor cxciteiiient, ovcr-auxiety, or bad nir. Host, a good laugh or a country walk will usual ly euro it readily enough to begin wiih. But to become subject to headaches is a very serious matter, and all such nervous diseases have a nasty tendency to recur, to become, periodic, to be set up by the same causes, to b .come an organic habit of the body. l or any woman to become liable to neuralgia is a most terrible thing. It means tlict while it lasts life is not worth having. I paralyzes the power to work, it deprives her ol the power to enjoy any thing, il tends toward irritability of tempo. it tempts to the use of narcotics and stimu lants. So says lr. Nelson, and so say I. A girl who finds herself subject to neural gia should at onee change her habits if hut to grow sli .n: in body. Ol what use education with ill heallh ?

The stockings of children's dresses match one of the colors of the suit when two colors are employed, e-r (hey match nearly as possible when I here is but one color, or they are black. .Nearly all black stockings, whether for children or grown up women, are now woven or knitted with a strip of white under the foot extending Iroin heel to too. Such stockings are said to be half-soled ill white, it is not, how ever, confined to black stockings. The greater number of colored l.islo thread and Balbiiggan hose are hall-solod in white, to fact is that we have got pretty tired of finding ourselves tattooed every time we undress for bed, with an exact rcproiluc (ion oftho hosiery pattern which we hav been wearing during the day, or, worse still, lived iet from knees to toes. W are determined to at least be what Beochc leclarcd Mrs. Tilloii to be a white soled creature. Hut the novelty stocking is the one that laces up like an old-lashioiied prunella gaiter except that the line stringaiid-eye-hole t'lnbraccnicui is not from ankle to heel but from under knee to tho upper bulge of the calf. That scheme ought to bo approved by .Mrs. King, whom I have limited, because abolishes the garter with its impediment to a free circulation of the blood, and the supporters dependent I ruin tho waist with their annoying tension. I hardly expected to ever feel angelic, but when I went out with a pair of laced stockings on tho ab sence ol all sense ol garlerud restraint lin tiled a sense ol winged flight and it seemed to me that my feet were off the sidewalk most ol Ihe lime. CLAKA BULL now to su:i;i In a recent paper read before the Boston Society for Medical Improvement, Mr. K. M. I lodges said : "It is a common impression that to take food immediately before going to bed and to sleep is un wise. Such a suggestion is answered by a reminder (hat the instinct of animals prompts (hem to sleep as soon as they have eaten; and in the summer and after dinner nap, esM'cially when tho meal is taken at midday, is 11 luxury indiiged in by many. Neither darkness nor season of the year alters the condidioiis. If the ordinary evening meal is six or seven o'clock, and the first morning meal seven or eight o'cltK'k, an interval of twelve hours or more elapses without food, and for the persons whose nutrition is at fault this is altogether loo long a period for fasting. That such an interval without food is permitted explains many a restless hieht, and iiiueli of the head and back ache, and the languid, half rested condi tion on rising, which is aecouipanied by no appetite for breakfast. This meal it self often dissipates these sensations. It is therefore desirablo, if not essential, when nutriment is to be crowded, that the last thing before going to bed should be the taking of food. Sleeplessness is often caused by starvation, and a tum bler of milk, if drank in the middle of the night, will often put eoplo to sleep when hynoticR would fail of their purpose. Food before rising is an equally important cxiiedirnt. It supplies strength for bath ing and dressing, labomus and wearisome tasks for the (ho underfed, and is bettor morning "pick-me-up" than any hack neyed 'Ionic.
