ZEPHYR'S DOLLAR.
" Mother," said Farmer Croft,
" where is Zephyr ?"
Mrs. Croft looked sharply up from
the butter she was working over in a
wooden bowl. She was one of those
querulous, complaining women whose
very voice is pitched in a minor key.
" Where is Zephyr ?" she repeated,
" why, where should she be ? How
do I know. Staring out of the garret
window, I suppose, or picking yellow
jonquils at the foot of the garden, or
mooning away her time in anything
but good, solid work. I never did see
such a shiftless creetur'!"
And Mrs. Croft gave the golden
mass of butter a slap first in this di-rection,
and then in that, as if she
were boxing somebody's ears.
" The place is strange to her yet,"
apologized Mr. Croft. " When she
she's used to things, she'll be different.
You see she hasn't got over fretting
after her mother yet."
"Humph!" said the woman. "I
do like people to show a little common
sense ! She'd ought to know that no
amount of fretting can bring back
any one that's dead and buried ! She's
got to go to work and earn b«r own
living, and the sooner she does it, ihe
better ! That's my way of looking at
it!"
And she glared grimly after her de-parting
husband, as he meekly with-drew
into the porch.
" Zephyr !" he called, softly, down
the garden path, " Zephyr."
There was uo answer. The sun-shine
was steeping the grass in gold.
On the sheltered slope south of the
wall one might tread on a blue carpet
of violets. Farmer Croft shaded his
eyes with one hand.
" She's down by the river bank,"
said he. " Strange how she likes to
set there, and stare at the water goin'
by."
Yes, Zephyr Lovell was very dis-contented,
very ungrateful, of course.
Ought not auv girl to rejoice and be
exceedingly glad of the privilege of a
hard bed in Mrs. Croft's attic bed-room,
and a seat at the table, where
cold pork was served a deal oftener
than hot sausages ? As for sympathe-tic
glances,words of gentle consolation,
those obstrusive, unstudied deeds of
affection that are often sweeter than
any syllabled sentences—what right
had she to expect such? Even if
Mrs. Croft had known what such
things meant, which she didn't, she
was not very likely to waste them on
her husband's penniless niece.
" Of all things," said Mrs. Croft,
" deliver me from genteel paupers."
" Zephyr !" the good farmer called
once niore, as he ueared the tall reeds
and rushes that fringed the river shore
and a tall, slight figure, like an Un
dine, started up.
" Yes, uncle ; is it you ?"
" Zephyr, what are you doing here?"
" I don't know," the girl listlessly
answered.
" The air's kind o' chill, for all the
sun shines so high," said Mr. Croft,
anxiously. " I dunno ^s I'd stay
here, if I was you, Z;phyr. I'd go
back to the house and keep your aunt -
company, or help Miranda Jane with
her quiltin'."
Zephyr smiled.
" My aunt and I don't seem to be
much company for each other, Uncle
Croft," said she; " and I did try to
help Miranda Jane; but she says my
stitching and hers don't match at all."
Zephyr," said the good man, with
a troubled air, " I 'm afraid you ain't
real happy here on the farm."
" No, uncle, I am not," Zephyr
frankly admitted ; " but it isn't your
fault. It's the fault of circumstances
and of myself, I suppose. I am like a
fish out of water or a poor butterfly
drowning in the sea. Don't look so
distressed, uncle," (laying her soft,
flushed cheek against his hand);
"things will right themselves after a
while ; they always do. But in the
meantime,"with a sofc, appealing Iqok,
" could you lend me a dollar ? I am
«0 poor so very poor, I haven't a pen-ny
of my own in all the world ?"
Mr. Croft's countenance grew more
disturbed than ever.
" Well, I swan to goodness if that
ain't too bad!" said he. " I gave
mother the last money I had to pay a
year's subscription to the Missionary
Trumpet, and I don't exactly like to
ask her to give it back."
•' No, uncle, don't do that," said
Zephyr.
" But, I tell you what, my girl,"
said the farmer cheerily, " the very
next silver dollar that comes this way
you shall have."
Zephyr stood on tip toe to kiss un-cle,
but she said nothing. Side by
side they walked up the bioad garden
path where the tiger-lilies are growing
up, side by side, past the hy? cinths
and narcissus clumps jostling each
other in fragrant strife. On the
threshold they met au old woman
with a prodigious cap-frill and spectac-les
like moons.
Here's the dollar we owe you folks
for vinegar, Neighbor Croft," said she.
" I guess you thought it never was
coming. But we've just got pay for
them vests me and Melindy have been
workin'on!"
" No hurry, Mrs. Jenkins, no
hurry," said Mr. Croft, good-humor-edly.
And as she tottered off, he turned to
his niece :
" See, Zephyr, there's your money!"
said he. Everything comes, if we've
got patience to wait for it."
" And I hain't no patience with
you, Daniel Croft!" screeched a shrill
voice, in the petulant, complaining
accents of Mrs. Croft herself, who
chanced to be sweeping out the entry
at that moment, and had witnessed
the whole scene. " Is dollars so plen-ty
that you're givin' 'em away to the
right and to tha left ? If Zephyr
Lovell wants money, why don't she
work and earn it ?"
Zephyr turned scarlet, but she held
the silver dollar tight in her hand,
without offering it to the donor. Mr.
Croft shrank before his wife's words,
as if they had been a keen northeast
gale.
"Gently, mother; gently," said he.
But Mrs. Croft's wrath was not so
easily to be stemmed. When the ava-lanche
of words was over, and honest
Daniel looked around for his niece,
Zephyr was gone.-
Gone for good and «11. When days
and weeks passed by, and she did not
return, Daniel Croft slowly anchored
his faith to the theory (which was the
true one) that the money had been
spent to take Zephyr away from the
farm. She had not been happy there
and she had left the place.
"And good riddance to bad rub-bish
!" Mrs. Croft had said, with a
certain grim exultation, which was
fully seconded by her daughter, while
the poor farmer sat with a forlorn
look on bia face, as it Zephyr's going
had somehow left a yacuum in his
heart.
Zephyr Loveil's career was not ex-ceptional.
She went to New York,
and, after sundry unsuccessful at
tempts to obtain employment, got a
place as attendant in a photograph
gallery. The wages were small but it
was a home, and the proprietor and
his wife were kind to her. And, one
day an invalid lady came in to be
photographed, who took a fancy to the
pretty young girl with the sweet yoice
and the dove like blue eyes. So Miss
Lovell was promoted to the rank of
companion, and when Mrs. Ingraham
died, she became the wife of the
wealthy widower, after a suitable pe-riod
of time had elapsed. Here was when
our poor little chrysalis blossomed out
into brilliant butterfly-hood at last.
" I must go down to Drysart Point
and see my Uncle Croft," said Zephyr,
one day. And, Mr. Ingraham, who
was the humblest of all slaves to his
beautiful young wife, assented to her
plans,
" I ought to have gone before," said
Zephyr, reflectively. " Well, I did
not like to go until I could pay ray
dear old uncle the dollar that I owe
him—the dollar upon which the hinges
of my destiny turned."
Farmer Croft was sitting alone on
the veranda, when the carriage drove
up to the door. The old house was
unpainted, the fences had tumbled
down, the shutters hung loose and the
pin was lost out of/the gate. The old
man himself was shabbily clothed and
locks, once so raven black, were now
whiter than the sea-foam. He listened
intently to the sound of wheels and
footsteps.
" I f it's Squire Leferes," said he,
" it ain't no use. I can't pay no in
terest, and he'll hev' to foreclose. My
wife is just up from a sick-bed, and
we haven't got a dollar in the house.
I've wrote to my darter Miranda Jane,
and her husband has wrote back that
he hasn't no money to spare, nor he
can't fool away his time comin' to Dry-sart
Point. So ye can see for yourself
that it ain't no use, Squire." But
with one hand behind his ear, and dim
anxious eyes upraised, " Why don't
you say something? I've been blind
since last summer's fever, and—"
"Blind! Oh, Uncle Daniel!—
blind! Don't start back; it is I, your
own Zephyr, come to pay you back
what I owe you."
And in a second her arms were
about the old man's neck, her sunny
tresses mingling with his snow white
hair. Mrs. Croft had hobbled out by
this time, leaning on a cane, and star-ing
in amazement.
That evening, when Zephyr and her
husband were gone, old Daniel -cried
triumphantly tojhis wife:
" Miranda Jane, the darter that we
sacrificed everything to, has gone back
on us, and so has the man she married;
but Zephyr has c >me between us and
the poorhouse—little quiet Zephyr,
that you never had no patience with;
and the dollar I gave ber has been
paid back with golden interest, eh,
mother?"
And Mrs. Croft answered meekly :
" I dunno but what you'ré right,
Daniel." _
Traits of Cigar Smokers.
A nervous man who fumbles his ci-gar
a great deal is a sort of popinjay
among men.
The man who smokes a bit, rests a
bit and fumbles the cigar more or less
is affected by circumstances.
The fop stands his cigar on end and
an experienced smoker points it
straight ahead or almost at right ang-les
with his course.
Beware of the man who never re-leases
his grip on the cigar and is in-different
whether it burns or not; he
is cool, calculating and exacting.
If a man smokes his cigar only
enough to kt-ep it lighted and relishes
taking it out of his mouth to watch
the curl of smoke in the air set him
down as an easy going man.
Aphorisms.
What is defeat ? Nothing but edu-cation
; nothing but the first step to
something better.
No pleasure is comparable to the
standing upon the vantage grouud of
truth.
The happiness of love is in action ;
its test is what one is willing to do for
others.
There is no place where politeness
is of more value than where we mostly
think it would be superfluous. You
may say more truth, or rather, sneak
out more plainly -to your associates,
but uot less courteously than you do
to strangers.
Obedience is the grandest thing in
the world to begin with. Yes, and we
shall end with it, too. I do not think
the time will ever come when we shall
not have something to do, because we
are told to do it, without knowing
why. _

dollars this year for the want of ships
to carry its grain to Liverpool.
It may ioterest some readers to
know that more than one supposed
authority declares that the leaves of
the tomato plant are more medicinal
than the fruit.
The use of india rubber for erasing
pencil marks was first suggested in or
just prior to 1742 by an academician
named Magellan, a descendant of the
great navigator.
They Were Honest .
The other morning as a farmer was
coming into town and a bag of oats
slid off his load unnoticed. A citizen
stood at his gate and witnessed the oc-currence
without saying a word.
When he thought it safe to do so he
ran out to secure the bag, but as he
reached it a second man came up.
" I saw it first," said one.
" No, you didn't!"
«' I did!"
" You didn't!"
" Say, you !" both called in chorus
to the farmer, and as he turned about
each man went his way. As there
was likely to be a fuss as to who should
profit by the find, they decided to beat
each other hy being honest.
Christian Endeavor Notes.
As the Christian Endeavor Society
has been misunderstood and misrepre-sented
in some sections, tbe president
of the United Society desires us to
publish the following statement:
1. Each true Christian Endeavor
Society by virtue ot its very constitu-tion
and pledge must be loyal to its
own church and inust be under the
control of that church alone, just as is
each Sunday-school.
2. The United Society exercises no
authority over any local society, de-mands
no allegiance, levies no taxes,
asks for no contributions. It simply
furnishes information concerning the
work and provides for an annual in-ternational
convention. Its trustees
represent all eyangelical denomina-tions.
3. Every society can be affiliated
with its own denominational league or
conference, but cau have the fellow-ship
of the interdenominational con-ventions
and unions, if it takes the
Christian Endeavor name and princi-ples.
4. A common name, common me-thods,
a common warfare against a
common enemy, which at the same
time implies the allegiance of each in-dividual
Society to some one local
church of some one denomination—in
these is the significance of the Christian
Endeavor movement.
STATE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CON-VENTIONS.
The state Christian Endeavor con-ventions
of the Fall in every state
have been meetings of marked spirit-ual
power, and in numbers and enthu-siasm
unprecedented. Between three
and four thousand young people came
together at the Massachusetts meeting.
Very large numbers also came togeth-er
at the Pennsylvania convention
and notable addresses were given by
Prof. Harper, Prof. Richard T. Ely
and others. In Vermont the best
meeting yet held was enjoyed at St.
Johnsbury and the Indiana and Min-nesota
conventions have been equally
successful.
Christian Endeavor Societies are
making rapid headway among the
Orthodox Friends and their ministers.
At the State Convention held in
Pittsburg last week it was reported
that there are 900 Christian Endeavor
Societies in Pennsylvania, and the to-tal
membership in the world is 30,-
000,000.
Persons wishing to organize a So-ciety
of Christian Endeavor can pro-cure
a sample copy of the constitution
by communicating with the United
Society Christian Endeavor, 50 Brom-field
Street, Boston, Mass.

Lancaster's Abraham Lincoln,
From the Fhilada Inquirer,
Abraham Lincoln yet lives. His
home is in Csenarvon township, Lan-caster
county. He belongs to the
same stock from which descended the
martyr president. When the imme-diate
ancestors of the latter remoyed
from Berks county to Virginia, the
progenitors of the former made their
home in the fertile valley of the Cone-stoga.
The Abraham Lincoln of to-day
has seen more than four-score
years come and go, and is about the
age of the lamented emancipator. His
form, too, is tall and gaunt, and his
general appearance is,not unlike that
of President Lincoln. His home is on
a large and productive farm north of
Churchtown. There, in the deepen-ing
twilight ot the evening of life, he
serenely enjoys the love and respect of
neighbors and friends.
Two Points of View.
Stranger—" If a man falls down an
open coal hole, can Le sue the owner
of the premises for damages ?"
" Lawyer—" Certainly, sir, certain-ly,
big damages, and get them too.
Give me the particulars."
" Well, as my brother was passing
your house this morning he fell
through a coal hole and broke his
leg."
" Hem! Did he use ordinary yigil-ance
to prevent such accident? Did
he look at his feet as he walked ?
Did he stop and examine the condi-tion
of the pavement before entering
upon it ? Answer me that, sir."
"Stop? Why no "
"Ah, ha! I.thought so. Guilty
of criminal negligence. He might
have fallen on one of my own family
under that coal hole—might have
killed us all, sir. As it is I shall sue
him for damage for mussing up my
coal bin.

letters that she was to be " Jack the
Hair Cutter's" next victim. The

an hour later Miss Kuhn was awaken-ed

JOSEPH M. FEGER,

A Second Guiteaii Caged.
CINCINNATI, O., NOV. 15.—John S.
Bell, ex-Chief of the Secret Service,
Washington, who is now visiting in
Cincinnati, confirms in every particular
a report which has just leaked out
here that a lunatic from Petersburg,
Va., who imagined himself an unduly
persecuted Southern Republican, was
quietly arrested and lodged in an in-sane
88ylum in Washington May 23d
last for trying to draw a 38-caiibre
revolver with which to shoot President
Harrison while his carriage was pass-ing
down Pennsylvania avenue in the
morning.
The prisoner admitted that he in-tended
to assassinate the President. His
admission was not only borne out by
the very act in which the secret service
detectives were shadowing him, but
by letters written within the preceding
two months to Senator Hoar and Sher-man.
These letters drew the officers
to Petersburg, where they found their
man, a small shop-keeper, and whence
they followed him quietly to Wash-ington
and caught him before he could
even reach a dramatic climax in his
crazy tragedy.
