Twenty years ago next month paid my first visit to New York, which was rendered memorable by the occu-rence which I am about tc^ relate. My visit to the metropolis was for the purpose of ascertaining if there was any opening there for a man in my profession (that of a physician). In my inquiries I was greatly assisted by my college chum, Frank Duplaine^ who introduced ma to a friend of bis, Edward Charlton, who was desirous of disposing of his practice and leaving the ci y. " I think this would be a first rate opening for you, (Jraham," said Da plaine, "and I am sure that Charlton will do the square thing by you Though he's rather queer in some of his ways, he's one of the most honest fellows you ever met, and you can re-ly implicitly upon his word." I had several meetings with Edward Charlton, the result of which was that I purchased his practice, which, though but a short time established, was a very lucrative one. Edward Charlton was a very taci-turn man, rarely speaking except in reply to questions, and then as briefly as possible. But the old saying tells us that still waters run deep, and de spite his habitual silence there was something about Charlton which in-voluntarily commanded respect. I found him to be a man of rare intel-lectual attainments, one whose success-or I was proud to become. On the evening of the day on which which the bargain was concluded be-tween Charlton and myself, he, Du-plaine and I visited the theatre to WALTER H.

S H E L L Y , Broad Street, Lititz : After the play Duplaine proposed that we have a game of billiards. Charlton at first objected on account of the lateness of the hour, f it was nearly midnight, but his objections were quickly overruled and we ad-journed to the nearest billiard saloon, a very large hall situated on the se-cond floor of a building on Broadway, above Tenth street. About half a dozen men, all evidently persons of wealth, were engaged in playing. As we entered I noticed that, as Lis eyes fell upon the face of one of these men, Charlton started back a pact or two, his countenance distorted with passion. An instant later his features became composed, and with a slow deliberate step he approached the individual re-ferred to and gave him a blow in the face which sent him reeling backwards. " Ha!" exclaimed the stranger, a tall, elegantly dressed man. " Ha!" he ejaculated, as his eyes fell upon Chariton's pale, rigid face," Edward Charlton." " Aye, Percy Duuham," was the stern response, " it is Edward Charl-ton, who stands ready to give you any satisfaction you demand." " Charlton, my dear friend," inter-posed Duplaine. But the young man shook him off. " Leave me to settle this matter in my own way," he said quietly, " this is a meeting which I have long looked forward to." " Satisfaction !" exclaimed the man whom Charlton had insulted:, in a voice hoarse with passion ; " I demand it at once, and in this place." " I am ready," was the response. " Name your weapons." " I care not vihat weapons I use. Will those suit you ?" and he produced an elegant pair of pistols. Dun I am held a short consultation with flis friend and then replied: " They will suit me." At this point the proprietor of the establishment appeared on the scene. " I can't have any fighting here, gentlemen/' he began. But Dunham's friends were pre-pared for this emergency. Three oi them placed themselves by the door, and one of them, approaching the pre» prietor, said: " Sir, this thing must be settled here and now. If you do not sit do wn and take the matter quietly we shall be forced to make you do so." The man seated himself, saying: " Since there's no help for it, I must submit; but you all witness that I wash my hands of any and all respon-sibility iu the matter." The windows were now closely cur-tained by the friends of both parties. Dunham selected a second from among his friends, and Charlton re-quested me to act in that capacity for him. " Which wall you take ?" asked Carlton, handing the pistol case to his opponent. Dunham selected «¡ne of the pistols, which were precisely alike, and in-quired : " What shall the distance be ?" " Ten paces." " Ten paces ?" exclaimed I, but Carlton interrupted me. " It is to be a duel to the death," he said. We cannot both leave this place alive, and the less time wasted the better. Is all ready?" All was ready. As the two men took their places Dunham said in a clear, distinct voice: " I wish all present to witness that my participation in this duel is an act of condescension. There is, I believe, no social law which compels a gentle-man to fight a state prison bird." Charlton's eyes flashed with a bale-ful light, and his hand clutched the barrel of his pistol fiercely as between his set teeth he said : " Had you a thousand lives I'd take them all now." A moment later the two men had taken their positions. As the word fire was given, the simultaneous report of the two pistols rang through the room and the body of Dunham fell to the floor with a thud. " Is he dead ?" quietly asked Charl-ton, who stood unharmed, and ap-parently as cool and collected as if such affairs were an every day occur-rence with him. ; He is dead! the bullet went straight through his brain," was the reply of the man who raised Dunham to his feet. I am satisfied," said Charlton, and bowing, left the room, motioning back Duplaine and myself, who would have accompanied him. Eight years passed before one of us who were witnesses of that duel saw Charlton again ; eight years, during which time I made more than one effort to learn the secret motive of the combat, but in vain. Not one of those present knew it, and the inquiries which I aiterward made all proved fruitless Edward Charlton's life be-fore he came to New York, as well as after he left, was a mystery to all who knew him. I had given up ail hope of learning the secret when it was revealed to, me. One morning in July, 1876,1 was walking in one of the many beautiful public parks of London, England, where I was spending my vacation, when a sudden turn in the road brought me face to face with a gentleman whose appearance seemed strangely familiar. As I was trying to recollect where I had seen him before, he stepped for-ward quickly and asked: " Do you know me, Mr. Graham ?" I recognized the voice instantly. " You are Dr. Charlton !" I cried. " I am." A short conversation followed during which Charlton informed me that Lon don had been his homo ever since his departure from New York, on the day ollowing the duel. After a few minutes Charlton pleaded a pressing engagement as ex-cuse lor leaving me, but invited me to visit him on the lollowiug day at his house in Kensington, when he voluntarily promised to narrate to me the whole history of his connection with Percy Dunham, the man whom he Lad killed. Of course I was at his house at the appointed hour, and seated in the cosy parlor of his little vine clad cottage he told me the following story : " I was born and brought up in the town of R—, in Michigan, and from the time of my earliest recollection until my twentieth year my dearest friend was Percy Dunham, the son of a neigbor. We were almost insepara-ble, and our friendship was likened to that of Damon and Pythias. But the time came, as you know, when we were the bitterest foes, and the pri-mary cause of this estrangement was" " A woman, I'll be bound," I inter-rupted. " You are right, doctor; it was a woman, and one of the best and most beautiful women I ever met. Mable Dane's parents moved into R when Percy Dunham and I were just 20 years of age. We each loved her, but 1 was the chosen recipient of her affections. Mable and I became on-gaged iu time, and apparently Percy had trained himself to submission to his lot. ® " There is no one living to whom I would as willing resign her as your-self, Edward," he said. " Ah ! I little imagined the demon that raged in his heart when he spoke these words. I never dreamed of questioning his sincerity. " The greatest obstacle to my im-mediate marriage was my poverty, for my parents had left me very little on their death. Percy, on the contrary, was a wealthy man, and for this reason would have been preferred to myself as a husband for his daughter by Mr. Dane, who, however, did not undertake to influence Mable in her choice. " Time passed on, and one day I heard of a chance of investing a few hundred dollars very advantageously. The money would be sure to double in » few weeks. Happening to be in Dunham's house I mentioned the op-portunity to him, regretting my in-ability to avail myself of it. " My dear fellow," said he, " I'll lend you the money with pleasure. " Here," pushing a check book toward me, " fill out a check for any amount you desire and I'll sign it." "But," I began, but he would not hear me. " Fill it out, or I'll do it for you. Will a thousand dollars be enough ? If n o t" " A thousand dollars ? My dear Percy'—"' 'Tis yours if you will accept the loan.' " I filled out the check for the amount mentioned and Percy Dunham signed it. " The next day I drew the money A week later I was arrested for forgery When the bank had returned the can-celled check to Dunham he had denied the genuineness of the signature. I sent for him immediately not doubting that there had been some mistake, which could be easily and quickly rectified. But what was my horror when that infamous villian cooly de-nied it to my face that he had ever given me a check. I had fallen a vic-tim to one of the most fiendish plots ever conceiyed in the brain of man. ' Well, I was tried, convicted and and sentenced to a terra of years in the state prison. " On the day when I was sentenced received a letter from Mable Dane, the only message she had sent me since my arrest; a letter written in re-ply to one I had sent her releasing her from her engagement. In a few cold, scornful words she accepted the release and bade me tare well forever. " After that I cared not what became of me ; I went to my fate with but one thought—revenge on the man who had brought me to this condition. I served out my term and then went back to R to meet Percy Dunham and settle my account with him. But he had left the place, and I could gain no information of his whereabouts. Despite the bitter memories of the past, tried to see Mable once more. But she, too, and her parents had left R . Was she married ? I asked. No; they told me Dunham had sought an alliance with her, but had been re-pulsed. ' I went to New York, where a few years later I again met Percy Dunham, under what circumstances you know. Perhaps I should have left my ven-geance to heaven, but the wrongs which rankled in my bosom were too bitter to allow me to wait longer." Charlton paused and stepped to the window. A smile irradiated his face. • Come here, doctor," he said, " I haye something to show you." I stepped to his side. In the garden, not far from the window, a beautiful woman was engaged in gathering a boquet, unconscious of our admiring glances. 'That is my wife," Charlton said proudly. Your wife?" " Yes ; she who was once Mable Dane. I met her five years ago in London, after I had abandoned all hope of ever seeing her again. She had loved me and believed in my in nocence from the first, but had been forced to act against her inclinations and convictions by her parents. A week after our meeting we were mar-ried, and hope never to part again." A Terrible Warning. Some time ago two young mechanics in a Maryland town entered in a co-partnership as wheel-wrights and car-riage builders. Both gentleman were possessed of shrewdness and indus-try, and were getting along in a yery happy and contented way until they determined to venture upon a rash un-dertaking. Up to that time they had been able to take things easy. They had been coming to their shop in the morning just when they felt like it, and quitted in the evening just when they pleased. There was no hurry, no rush, no worry. Things went on in a smooth, sober and comfortable manner; but, as was intimated above, they one day decided upon a change of tactics. They concluded to insert a conspic-uous advertisement in the local daily. More than this—they actually had their names and business printed upon several hundred circulars, and caused the same to be extensively distributed. Then, with a recklessness that was truly astonishing, they managed to get themselves frequenty mentioned in the local columns of the newspapers. They might have known that eyery-body would read those notices ; but mtjLi a singularly fatality they con-tinued the same desperate manage-ment, until at last they got themselves into a most awkward fix. They employed additional help, but still their vexations were not over. Only last week they discovered that their shop was entirely too small. They then bought lumber, employed workmen, and will have just about finished another shop in the rear, somewhat larger thanthe original one Strange infatuation ! Both these young men might have been enjoying a very comfortable nap this very after-noon if it had not been for their own unguarded conduct. But their is no further rest for them except on Sun-days, and a few short hours after tea every day. We cannot say where it will all end. Deluded creatures ! We warn them in time! If they don't mind they will be compelled to employ still other assistants, and make still other addi-tions to their shop. But advice seems to be thrown away on suph venturous people. At all events they should consider the example they are setting. They should remember that other me-chanics and business men may go and do likewise. Then what a calamity will they have to contemplate! A town that was once quiet and sedate rendered bustling and noisy with the hum of business, the buzz of factories, and the rush of accelerated commerce. We turn from the picture with fear and trembling. —Wrap up the "Little Darling" in Hornberger's blankets. The Trials of a Batcheior. Did you ever see a man in the solitude and privacy of his study at-tempt to sew a button on by himself? It is in all details one of the most interesting performances in the world. First he hunts for the button. Gen-erally, to secure it, he robs Peter to pay Paul and cuts one from some other garment. This may be much larger or smaller than the size he is wearing. He hunts for a needle. Probably he goes out and buys a paper of needles. He always chooses the largest, having an impression that large needles will sew stronger than small ones. As to the thread, begets the coarsest he can find, and this he doubles. He takes the big needle in one hand and his coarse black thread in the other, bites off the thread to the desired length, then he tries to twist it to a fine point. Generally in this he sue-, ceeds iu making two and sometimes three fine points out of one end. Of course he cannot get all of these points through the needle's eye at once. He tries hard to make the needle and thread get on friendly terms with each other. Sometimes the needle kicks, and sometimes the thread. Sometimes he really imagines he has threaded his needle. It is an ocular delusion ; the thread has missed the needle's edge by half an inch. It is harder work than sawing wood. At last the needle is threaded. Now he tries to-sew the button on without taking off his trousers. Thi3 proves a failure. He twists himself into an uncomfortable position and so would sew. But he cannot sew so. He runs the needle in his finger and makes an inaudible exclamation. Again the needle slips into the fleshy part of his hand, which induces a very audible dash from the operator. The record' angel knows what is going on inside of him and debits him with every item. He sews hard. He has forgotten all about the necessity for a thimble. He jams his thumb down on the needle's head, and it punctures his thumb or runs under the nail. By and by he ssws the button eye full of thread. His big needle does not pass through any more. He must stop. He ends by winding the thread as many times as it will go under the button, and per-haps he leaves off with two or three inches of thread sticking outside. A woman can, through many out-ward indications, tell when a man has been trying to sew on a button. He doesn't know the shibboleth of needle and thread, and it catches somewhere every time. At last the button is sewed on, and he Í3 proud of his work. Too Near the First of the Mouth. " One thing I'ye got against Christ-mas." " What's that?" " It comes too late in the month." " How does that affect it ?" " Why, when a man's wife gives him a splendid present the bill is sent to him in about a week. It would bet-ter if he had about three weeks to get ready for it."

A Moneyless Christmas. A Christmas without § spending monev! Midwinter holidays without dolls or picture books, tops, toy can-non or jumping jacks, colored candies or any " store presents " of any kind whatsoever! Christ's nativity cele brated without a Christmas tree or a Christmas carol or a gathering of the children—no evergreen shrub spark-ling with glass, no Santa Claus and no pantomime. Could such a thing be in a Christian land ? Yea, verily. And it is not so very long ago that just such a Christmas was the rule in three-fourths of the United States nay, it is the rule now in considerable sections where there are no large t'jwns. So easily do we get accustomed to what is, and so naturally do children believe that the system they first noticed has always been the system, they first noticed has always been the system, that most people do not know, and even the older ones are forgetting, that the Christmas of to-day is com-paratively a* new thing. But what was the old time Christ-mas, and with what sights and sounds was it ushered in! Well, in the first place, it was—in all the rural regions at any rate—a time when no money could be" wasted." • f • Children must have their fun with-out extra expense, save as each child had carefully sayed his pennies. As to deliberately handing out a half dollar to a boy for Christmas—the average father would as soon have thought pf giving him a deed for the farm. It was a season for rabbit hunting and sledding if there was snow enough, and for sliding if there was ice, for a good dinner and an extra piece of pie, and then, perhaps, for some home made presents. A little later toys began to come in say about 1850—in the central west, and such toys I Blocky horses, square cornered cows, dogs made of clay and burnt black in the fire, and so forth ; a collection of them now would throw a group of children into convulsions of laughter. Be it remembered that less than fifty years ago Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis were the only cities really known to the great mass of people living west of Ohio and north of Tennessee, and nine-tenths of the people under twenty years of age had never seen a city of 10,000 inhabi-tants. And in those days rural America celebrated Christmas literally without money and without (cash) price. Plenty of people who don't like to be called old can recall the time when, in all the book stores of the rural regions, only two or three kinds of "story books " could be found, and as to holi-day books and holiday goods as such—- well, they could be found in the cities, probably, but not one child in a hun-dred, taking the country through, ever «aw one of them. -IJQW prices tell the tale-ger's blankets. •Hornber- —Don't shiver and chill-bed blankets. -Hornberger's Wheat in a Sweat. Stacked wheat goes through a de-gree of warmth dependent upon the moisture found in it at stacking. The "sweating" process known among the wheat growers and favored by them, as the wheat often looks plumper and keeps better aft r it, may be the result, the assistant chemist at the Mis-souri experiment station suggests, of both the direct action of the oxygen of the air on the materials of the wheat or straw and of fermentation, or a com-bination of both. Thi3 would involve some loss on the total weight of the stack. Wherever heat occurs there must be the consumption of material. The grain may grow, however, through the well-known transference of ma-terial from the steins of plants to their seed, that occurs when cut before groth is absolutely complete. The grain may keep better after sweating, inasmuch as the warmth may result in the evaporation of some of the moisture of the wheat plant. The sweating may also be fermentation. An Unnatural Mother. ' I believe I've got the meanest ma • rn j j in lexas. ' What did she do ?" ' Just before Christmas she put me into long trouserE. She did that so I would have to wear short stockings that wouldn't cost so much to fill. What do you say to that for meanness? She'd make a nice stepmother, she would." A Good Ijooking Pace We like to see. Yet Erysipelas dis-figures the features and the disease is as dangerous as it is repulsive. It is sometimes called St. Anthony's Fire,'* Htid oiten ends in sudden .death. 8. B. Carpenter, Grandville, N.

Men in the iron trade throughout the Lehigh Valley are pleased with the outlook. Lancaster has a woman who smoked two big cigars in seven and a half minutes. The teachers of Springfield decidcd after a warm discussion that spring i3 more pleasant than autumn. The Glen Rolling Mill at Allentown is ad vertised for public sale to foreclose a mortgage of $60,000, held by the Allentown Rolling Mill Company. The Montgomery Oil Company has been organized at Norristown, with a capital of $150,000, to refine oil at the Slemmer Brothers' Oil Works, A bullet fired into his leg twenty-five years ago at the battle of Thatch-er's Run, Yd., has just been removed from the leg of Rev. M. P. Doyle, of Reading. Every purchaser at a Hamburg jewelry store received a chance to win music box and the jeweler has been held for keeping a gambling establish-ment. Lansdale wants candidates for its Councils. Here is a chance for some of the many overzealous candidates for the postmastership of neighboring towns. The school teachers' lyceum at Glen Mills was interrupted a few days ago by two armed hoodlums, who en-tered the place and defied any one to put them out. During a performance of " Uncle Tom's Cabin" at Pottstown W. E. Crandall, who took the part of Marks, was badly bitten by one of the blood-hounds, and a physician was summon-ed. A slick-tongued swindler visited Mckeesport and sold the women of that town 300 cases of needles at rates of three cases for $1, on the misreprsentation that they contained tickets calling for big prizes. Mayor Ec%erly, of Lancaster, ve-toed the resolution giving an electrtc railway company the use of the streets of the city, on the ground that it re-quired an ordinance to give the right. The wall of house on which hg was working fell to the ground and Con* tractor Charles E. Evans, of Chani-bersburg, was buried. His life was saved, as he fell under the protecting ledge of a step. With a pair of crutches and a well-regulated cough a tramp succeeded in arousing a great deal of sympathy at Chambersburg. He was finally ar-rested for stealing a book, and as an excuse he pleaded that he thought it was a prayer-book. The body of Bernard Nitz, a tramp, presumably a resident of Rock Island, 111., was found alongside the Pennsyl-vania Railroad tracks. In his pock-ets were $50 in cash and a certificate of deposit showing a balance of $350 in the Rock Island National Bank. Dr. Higbee Dead. Dr. Elnathan Elisha Higbee," State Superintendent of Public Instruction, died on Friday morning in Lancaster from the effects of a par^lytjp stroke, received a few days ago. Deceased was born in St. George, Vermont, March 27, 1830. He grad-uated at the University of Vermont iq 1849. In 1853 he was elected assistant teacher in the Hieh School at Lancas-ter, which position he held for a year, The writer of this article well remem-* bers at that time his earnest discussions at the debating society in the Abbey-ville School-house of which society he was a member. He afterward entered the ministry of the Reformed Church, and in 1864 was appointed Professor of Church History and Exegesis in the Theological Seminary at Mercers-burg, Pennsylvania. In 1871 he was made President of Mercersburg Col-lege, and in 1881 became State Super-intendent of the Public Schools, which position he held at the time of his death. He was a very genial man, with a high degree of culture and re-finement, universally respected by all educational men. He leaves a wife and four children (Fannie, wife of Prof. George W. Mull of Franklin and Marshall College, Herbert, Lucy and Helen), Confidence. Tramp (to little Willie, who has opened the front door)—Have yer had yer Christmas dinner yet, little boy ?

Little Willie (feeling of his stomach) There ain't going to be anything left. It. is Good Work to Give Health. The only remedy for blood disorders is one that will expel the germs of disease, and make the blood pure and rich. That is best effected by Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy of Rondout, N.

Twenty years ago next month
paid my first visit to New York, which
was rendered memorable by the occu-rence
which I am about tc^ relate.
My visit to the metropolis was for
the purpose of ascertaining if there was
any opening there for a man in my
profession (that of a physician). In
my inquiries I was greatly assisted by
my college chum, Frank Duplaine^
who introduced ma to a friend of bis,
Edward Charlton, who was desirous
of disposing of his practice and leaving
the ci y.
" I think this would be a first rate
opening for you, (Jraham," said Da
plaine, "and I am sure that Charlton
will do the square thing by you
Though he's rather queer in some of
his ways, he's one of the most honest
fellows you ever met, and you can re-ly
implicitly upon his word."
I had several meetings with Edward
Charlton, the result of which was that
I purchased his practice, which, though
but a short time established, was a
very lucrative one.
Edward Charlton was a very taci-turn
man, rarely speaking except in
reply to questions, and then as briefly
as possible. But the old saying tells
us that still waters run deep, and de
spite his habitual silence there was
something about Charlton which in-voluntarily
commanded respect. I
found him to be a man of rare intel-lectual
attainments, one whose success-or
I was proud to become.
On the evening of the day on which
which the bargain was concluded be-tween
Charlton and myself, he, Du-plaine
and I visited the theatre to
