WIDOW SIMPSON'S SPOONS.
The pariph of Bathgate, In Liulith
g' o vahlre ought lo he reckoned among
the classic epotcs of Scotland, inas
much as it formed part of the dowry
which Hubert Bruce bestowed on 1iI-j
eldest daughter, Margery, when she
married Walter, the High Steward of
Scotland, and thus became the pro
genitrix of the royal and unlucky
house of Stuart. .Lying midway be
tween Edinburgh and Glasgow, those
rival queens of the east and west, hut
nut of the common track of travel, it
lias been for ages a pastoral parish, of
small and rather backward farma. Of
Jateycar3, coal has been found there ;
nnd steam and trade, which bid fair
to leave the world no rustio corner,
are rapidly turning it into a mining
district; which nobody thought of
about the time of the general peace,
when Bathgate lived on its own oats
nnd barley, wore Its own hodden gray,
and had two subjects of interest the
corn market and kirk session.
Among its peaceable and industrious
population there was r e dame, who
though neither the wealthiest nor
the best born, stood, in her own es
teem, above all but the laird and the
minister ; and her style and title was
the Widow Simpson, This lady val
ued herself not on the farm left her
by the good man who had departed
th b life some seven years before the
commencement of our story for its
rore3 were few and they consisted of
halfheclaimed moorland ; not on her
non Robin, although he wan counted a
likely and sensible lad ; not on her
thrifty house keeping, though it was
Jtnown to be on the tight screw prin
ciple ; but on the possessBion of a doz
en silver tea-spoons Her account of
them wa? that they belonged to the
i'oung Chevalier, and had been be
stowed upon her grand-father In re
turn for entertaining that claimant of
the British throne, on his march from
Culloden, in proofs of whioh sho was
wont to point outr a half obliterated
crest, and the initials C. S., with
whioh they were marked. The wid
ow's neighbors, however, had a differ
entiate regarding their coming into
the family. It was to the effect that
her grandfather, who kept a Bmall Inn
eomo where in Fife, had bought them
from an Ill-doing laird, for three gal
lons of Highland whiskey, and had
bestowed them on his granddaughter,
ns the one of his family most likely to
hold fast to such an-importent acquis
ition. Tn the family resided, in the capac
ity of help, one Nancy Campbell, a
girl of about nineteen, who was sus
pected of having taken a fancy lo Rob
in, who reciprocated the sentiment.
Nothing, however, would soften the
heart of the widow as regards a match,
until at last the following event oc
curred, and caused her to give way :
About the haj'inaking time, a dis
tant and comparatively rich relation,
was expected to call and take tea one
evening, on his way from Linlith
grow. It was not often that this rich
relative honored her house with a vis
it, and Mrs. Simpson, determining
that nothing should be wanting to his
entertainment, brought out tiie treas
ured spoons early in the foreuoon
with many injuctions to Nancy, touch
ing the'eare she should take to bright
en them up. While this operation
was being-conducted in the kitchen,
in the midst of one of those uncertain
days, which vary the Northern June,
u certain darkening of the sky an
nounced the approach of a heavy rain.
The hay was-dry, and ready for hous
ing., Robin and" the two men were
busy gathering it in, but the great
drops began to fall while a consider
able portion yet remained in the field,
and with the instJ ct of crop preserva
tion, forth rushnd the widow, followed
by Nancy, leaving the spoons half
scoured on the kitohen table. Ill rap
id, exit, the girl had forgotten to latch
the door. The weasel and the kite
were the only depredators known
.about the moorland farm ; hut while
they all occupied-the hay-field, who
should oome that way but Geordy
"Wilson the daft man.
Well, the kitchen door was open,
nnd Geordy stepped in. He banged
the settie with his stafF, he coughed,
he hemmed, he saluted the oat which
Fat purring on the window seat, and
at length discovered that there was
nobody within. Neither meal nor
peuny was to be expected, that day ;
the rain was growing heavier, some of
the bay must be wetland Mrs. Slmp-
Bon would return in a bad humor.
But two objects powerfully arrested
Geordy's attention , one was the
brothpot boiling on the fire, and the
silver spoons scattered on the table.
Bending, over the former Geordy took
a considerable sniff, gave the Ingredi
ents a stir witu the pot-stick, and
muttered, very thin. His prooeeding
in regard to the latter must remain
unmsntioned ;. but half an hour later
when he was safely ensconced In a
farm house a mile off, and the family
were driven within doors by the in
creasing storm, they found everything
as It bad been- left the broth on the
fire, the cat on the window seat, the
whiting and the flannel on the table
but not a spoon was there.
'Wbar'a the spoons? cried Mrs.
Simpson to the entire family, who
otod hv the fire, drying their wet
garments. Nobody could tell. Nancy
had left tbenxon the'table whe i .he
ran to the bay. No one bad been In
the hoane, they werecertain, for noth-
n nad been disturbed. The .drawer
w pulled out, and the empty stock
was exhibited. Every shelf, every
corner waesearohed, but to no purpose;
the spoons had disappeared, and the
state of the farm house may be imag
ined. The widow ran through It like
one distracted, questioning, searching
and scolding. Robin, Nancy and the
farm men wero dispatched in differ
ent directions, as soon as the rain
abated, to advertise the neighbors,
under tliesupposition thatsome stroll
ing beggar or gipsy might have car
ried off the treasure, and would at
tempt to dispone of it in the parish.
Nobody had thought of Geordy Wil
son ; he had not been spied from the
hay-field ; his circuits were wide ; his
visits to any house were not frequent;
and If he eschewed Widow Simpson's
from the day of her loss, it was be
lieved Geordy knew that neither her
temper nor liberality would be im
prove by that circumstance. Lost
spoons they were, beyond doubt, and
the widow bade fuirto lose her senses.
The rich relation came at the appoint
ed time, and had such a tea, that he
vowed never to trust himself again in
the house of his entertainer. But the
search went on ; rabbits' holes were
looked into for the missing silver, and
active boys were bribed to turn out
magpies' nests. Wells and barns in
the neighborhood were explored.
The criers of the three nearest parish
es were employed to proclaim the loss.
It was regulary advertised at kirk
gate and marketplace, and Mrs. Simp
son began to talk of getting a search
warrant for the beggar's meal pouch.
Bathgate was alarmed through all its
borders concerning the spoons ; but
when almost a month went, aud noth
ing could be heard of them, the wid
ow's suspicions turned from beggar's,
barns and magpies, to light on poor
Nancy. She had been scouting the
spoons, and had left the house last ;
silver could not leave the table with
out hands. It was true that Nancy
had always borne an unblemibhed
oharacter, but such spoons were not to
be met with every day, and Mrs. Simp
son determined to have them back in
her stocking.
After sundry hints of increasing
breath to Robin, who could not help
thinking that his mother was losing
herjudgment, she one day made her
charge, to the utter nmozemeut and
dismay of the poor girl, whose anxie
ty in the search had been inferior on
ly to her own. Though poor, and an
orphan, Nancy had some honest pride;
she immediately turned out thd whole
contents of her klst, (box), unstrung
her pocket In Mrs. Simpson's presence
and ran with tears in her eyes to tell
the minister.
As was then common In the country
parishes of Scotlaud, difficulties and
disputes which might have em
ployed the writers and puzzled the
magistrates, were dreferred to his ar
bitration, and thus lawsuits or scan
dal prevented.
The minister had heard, as who in
Bathgate had not, of Mrs. Simpson's
loss. Like the rest of the parish, he
thought it rather strange, but Nancy
Campbell was one of the mont eorioae
and exemplary girs In his congrega
tion he could not believe that the
charge preferred against her was true,
yet the peculiarities of the ease needed
some investigation.
With some 'difficulty, the minister
persuaded Nancy to return to her mis
tress, bearing a message to the effect
that he and two of his elders, who
happened to reside in the neighbor
hood, would come over the following
evening, and hear what would be said
on both sides, if possible, clear up the
mystery. The widow was well
pleased at the minister and his elders
coming to Inquire after her spoons.
She put on her best much that is to
say, cap prepared her best speeches,
and enlisted some of the most relig
ious of her neighbors, to assist in the
investigation.
Early in theeveningofthe following
day when the Summer sun was
wearing low, and-the field work was
over they were all assembled'ln the
clean-scoured kitchen, the minister,
elders and neighbors, soberly listen
ing to Mrs. Simpson's testimony-
touohing her lost silver, Nancy, Rob
in and thd farm men sitting by, till
their turns came ; when the door,
whioh had been left half open, to ad
mit the breeze for the evening was
sultr$' wasquletly pushed aside and in
slid Geordy Wilson, with his usual ac
companiments, of Btnff and wallet.
'There's nae room for you here,
Geordy,' taid the widow ; 'we're on
weighty business.'
'Well, mem,' said Geordy Wilson,.
turning to depart, 'it's of nae conse
quence.. Is only came to speak about
your spoons.'
'Hae ye heard of them ?' cried Mrs.
Simpson, pouncing from her seat.
'I could na misB hearin,' blessed wi'
the precious glfto' hearin,' and what's
better, I saw them,' said Geordy.
'Saw them, Geordy ? Whar are
they ?r Here Is a whole shillin' for 3'e;'
and Mrs. Simpson's purse, or rather
an old glove used for that purpose, was
instantly produced.
Well, said Geordy, 'I stepped in,
one day, and seeln' the silver unguard
ed, I thought some ill-guided body
might covet it, and laid it by, I may
say, among the leaves of that Bible,
thinkln' you would be sure to Bee the
spoons when you went to read.'
Before Geordy had finished his re
velation, Nanoy Campbell had
brought down the proudly displayed
hoped, turned her attention more to
practice. By way of making amend
for her unjust imputations of Nanoy
Campbell, she consented to receive her
as a daughter-in-law, within the same
year ; and it is said there was peace,
ever after, in the farmhouse ; but the
good people of Bathgate, when dis
cussing a character of more pretence
than performance, still refer to Wid
ow Simpson's spoons.
Wellington's Strategy.
On a certain occasion during Wel
lington's campaign in the Pyrenees,
that "great Captain," being displeas
ed with the dispositions Gen. Pictou
had inude for receiving the assault of
Marshal Soult, who had menaced him
in front, ordered the plan to be en
tirely changed. But the difficulty
was lo delay the attack of the
French until the change could ba ef
fected. This the "Iron Duke" ac
complished In person, In the following
manner: Doffing his cocked bat, and
waving it in the air, he rode furiously
to the head of a regiment, as if to or
der a charge. Thereupon rose a tre
mendous cheer from the men, which
was taken up by corps after corpa un
til it reverberated along the whole
extent of Pictou's line.
As the roar died away Wellington
was heard to remark, musingly, as if
addressing himself, "Soult is a skill
ful and cautious commander, and will
not attack in force until he has as
ascertained the meaning of these
cheers. This will give time for the
sixth division to come up, and we
shall beat him.''
It turned out as anticipated. Soult
naturally enough supposed those tre
mendous shoutB to announce the ar
rival of large reinforcements, and did
not attack until too late. Had he
struck at the right moment, he would
have won an easy victory; as it was,
he met with a bloody repulse. This
was strategy. Not the strafpgy of
books, but the strategy of genius, con
ceived and executed in the same
moment. The Idea was born of the
occasion, and carried out on the in
stant. A pretty little scene, amusing to all
but the actors in it, was enacted at a
church at Boylake, In England, the
other day. One of the villagers re
cently decided to enter the bonds of
matrimony; and the ceremony was
duly performed in one of the church
es. The friends of the bride nnd
bridegroom had assembled in con
siderable numbers to witness the cer
emony, and, the service having been
satlfactorily concluded, the couple
proceeded down the aisle to leave the
church. But their happiness was to
be of very brief duration. Ere they
had left a woman flung a baby into the
hands of the bridegroom, saying that
his wife would probably take care of
.his progeny for the future. The
bridegroom stood aghaBt, and what the
feelings of the bride were may be Im
agined. Many farmers are exceedingly dis
satisfied with their profession, and
repine at their duties. On the other
hand Socrates, the wisest of ancient
philosophers, said of it: "Agriculture
is an employment the most worthy of
the application of man ; the most an
cient, and the most suitable to his na
ture. It is the common nurse of all
persons In every age and condition of
life; It is the source of health,
strength, plenty, and riches, and of n
thousand sober delights and honest
pleasures. It it the inistreBs and
school of sobriety, temperance, Jus
tice, religion, and, in short, of all vir
tues, oivll and military.
USEFUL HINTS.
To prevent meat from scorching in
the oven during the roasting process,
simply keep a basin or cup of water In

only prevents scorching, but makes
the meat cook nicer.

Non-Poisonous Fly-Paper. Pow
dered blaok pepper is mixed with sir
up to a thick paste, which is spread,
by means of a brush, upon coarse blot
ting paper. Common brown sirup
will answer, but airup made from bu
gar is. preferable, as it dries quicker.
For use, a piece of this is laid upon a
plate and dampened with water.'
Ashes. Do not allow ashes of any
kind to be wasted. It will pay to haul
leached ashes several miles, when one
has his own team and a laborer at fair
wages. Coal ashes, when spread ar
ound berry bushes of any sort, or ar
ound grape vines, will aid materially
in producing large and fair fruit

Dr. Maurin recommends placing In
the open window of invalids, canvas
well wetted. As is known, water in
passing from a liquid to a gaseous
state, absorbs caloric. That chemical
process will lower, in a few minutes,
the temperature of a room by five or
six degrees, aud the humidity distrib
uted in the air, makes the heat more
supportable. By that Bystem the pa

height of summer, in an atmosphere
refreshed ' analogous to that which
prevails after a storm.
Ginger Drops. Half cup shorten

Mrs. Partington says that just be
fore the late war circumstances were
aeen round the moon nightly, shoot
ing stars perambulated tho earth, the
desk of the sun wa8 covered with
black spots of Ink, and comics swept
the horizon with their operatic tales.
Everybody said thatltprofligated war
and sure enough war did come.
Our forefathers were contented to
spread their frugal repast upon, the
bare bark that they stripped from the
foreBt trees; but the aristocracy of to
day not only insist upon having a six
teen dollar extension-table, but stick
up their noses if poverty compels
them to use a sheet for a table-cloth.

A correspondent, in the Inter-Ocean,
