'Rut, as sure as I'm a cinder, That pai ty'wk.U yon see A gettin'out o' winder, Have developed from a flea." THE WAY SHE DID IT. A liberal education, a handsome per son, and a wealthy and indulgent fath er were among tho agreeable things that were vouchsafed Robert Anson by smiling fortune. His mother had died in his early youth, and the father and son the only members of the family left had afterwards been more like brothers in their relations towards each other. They had made, a Euro pean tour, and had traversed every nook and corner of America together, seeking in rational amusement the le gitimate enjoyment of a colossal for tune. But at last there came a separa ration of a year. Anson desired to again visit Europe, and his father pre ferred a trip across the continent to the Pacific coast; therefore each went his way, followed by the good wishes of the other. Mr. Anson, senior, spu-nt six months on tho plains and in California, and made a discovery on the return trip. Stopping a few days in Chicago, he ac cidentally learned of the existence of a distant relative of his deceased wife's a girl w hose parents had not long be fore died, leaving the daughter depend ent upon her own exertions for sup port. Mr. Anson sought her out, find ing in Flora Mightway a prett', intel ligent girl of eighteen holding a posi- frion as teacher in one of the public schools. lie was charmed with her, and at once offered her a home. "But I should dislike to be a burden to anybody," interpose! the independ ent young lady. "The obligation would be on the other side,1 replied Mr. Anson; "I am rich and have only one relative a son who is in Europe. lie will be home soon Both of us have had our all of traveling, and will want to settle down in a home. By making jour home with us you will add to it a social at traction, relieve it of being a bachelors' hall, and we'll all be as, happy as larks together." The outlook was certainly alluring to the lonely orphan, and she accepted the offer, returning to New York with Mr. Anson. Thereupon the old mansion was reno vated, refurnished, and soon became the headquarters of a brilliant social clique. Flora at once took her place as a favorite, and Mr. Anson was proud of his pretty protege. As the return of Robert Anson was now daily expected, it may J)e well to follow him on his transatlantic voyage; lie was barely embarked at Liverpool before his eyes fell upon the form of a de cidedly handsome and dashing woman. A widow anybody could have told that by her air of independence. Not much past thirty, and at the zenith of her charms, she was a really bewilder ing creature. So Robert thought at first sight, and so hi found her tpon acquaintance. A Mrs. Morrow she proved to be, and she was alone and unprotected on her voyage, which 'had been made to visit some distant rela tives in England. The steamer con sumed nine days in the passage. On the first day Robert managed to gain a speaking acquaintance. On the sec ond he had improved it so far as to be cn easy chatting terms, and before the close of the third he was enslaved. They w alked the deck by moonlight on the fourth and fifth; and before the seventh their billing and and cooing had attracted the attention of the pas sengers. On the eighth, Robert pro posed and wa3 accepted, and on the ninth they reached New York. Mrs. Mottow owned a little house in Brooklyn, and had a modest income from property left by her husband. To her. home Robert saw her safely conveyed, and then sought Jiis own. The changes there astonished him, for his father had kept it all an agreeable surprise. "Robert," said Mr. Anson, as hevel comed him, "do you recognize the dingy old house V "Scarcely father," -was the reply; 'everything is new, bright, and cheer ful. What dtfes it mean V "A woman." "Married?" "Noj no; but hush! There comes the cause of it all. Clara, this is my son Robert." Possibly the widow, hid she seen the inrjrion that Clara produced on her lover, would have felt less secure in her conquest. For Clara had im proved in spirits since her residence with Mr. Anson, and was even prettier than when she first came there. That night, over a social bottle of wine, the father explained to his son the maimer in which he found Clara, and the light and happiness she had brought to their home. "And I have formed a plan in refer ence to her," concluded Mr. Wilson. "What is it?" asked Robert: "You shall marry her." "Impossible." "Why?" Thus brought to tho point, Robert confessed his engagement to Mrs. Mor row. "How old is she V" asked Mr. Anson. "Thirty." "And yon are twenty-six how ab surd! People w ill laugh at you. Clara is young, pretty, and I know she will love you." "But I love the widow" "Nonsense." , "Father!" "There, my boy, don't take- offense. I only meant that you mistaken ad miration for lovo. That you really love a woman four years your senior, and a widow at that, is absurd. You think j ou do, but you don't. Now I will tell you what I will do. Not an other word shall be said on the subject for one month. At the end of that time, if you persist in marrying Mrs. Morrow, I shall marry Clara myself." "I agree,,vreplied Robert. The month passed quickly, and at its close the situation was about like this: Robert was fenced between love for Clara and hu duty to the widow; Clara is deeply in love with Robert; Mrs. Morrow was troubled by a certain fdll-ing-off in her lover's ardor, and Mr. Anson, who had steadily refused to see the widow, hoped for the best for his plan. The father and son met after supper. " Well, Robert," said the former, "the month is up. What have you decided ondoinsc?" "We have always made confidants of each other," began Robert. "Certainly." "And I shall not hide anything from you now. I love Clara, and believe she loves me. but I am engaged to Mrs. Morrow, and cannot honorably break the engagement." "Then leave the matter entirely to me." "What will you do?" "I will secure your release by the widow." "By fair means?'' "By Ikt five consent." And so the interview closed. On the following day Mr. Anson sought the home of the widow. She was in, and upon learning who he was welcomed him cordially. She asked him to be seated upon the sofa, upon which she also gracefully sank. Mr. Anson had made up his mind to be brief and business-like; but the gor geous widow quite upset hira before he even had broached the subject of his son's engagem en t. They cam e to speak of him naturally at last, however, and the widower saw his opportunity. "You love my ron V" ' "What a question j Mr. Anson," she replied, showing her pevfect teeth in a bewitching smile ; "am I not going to marry him ?" "I hope not." "Sir!" and even the widow's pretty frown captivated him. "I beg your pardon," he added, crest fallen, "I mean that I came to talk the matter over with you. J)o you think the match is altogether a good one?" "I see," and her eyes dropped appro priately, "you object because I am com paratively poor." "Indeed I do not. The financial as pect of the affair has never been con sidered by me." The widow here pierced him with a look of gratitude. "It was the difference in, in " be stammered. "In social position?" suggested the widow. "No, no- " "Ah! I see. You mean in age." "Yes," he replied sheepislily. -You divined the reason, and I will Jje per fectly frank with you. My son is very dear to me, and it has leen the dream of my ; life to sea him happily married to some beautiful and loving woman." Here the widow turned her glorious eyes full upon Mr. Anson and man aged to show her arm, which happened to be enc'osed in a loose sleeve. It was a particularly round, smooth arm, and as white as possible. "I beg your pardon," hastily contin ued Mr. Anson; "I know that you are good, beautiful and lovable-, but " "But I am too old I r.m thirty. Net so very old either, although I do feel older than Robert. My love for him has been largely of the guardian sort I have petted and admired him as a mother might. And he loves me- " "But not exactly as he should a wife. He loves another worn a u not a hand somer or better woman, my dear mad am but one younger and better suited to be his wife." . The widow burst into tear:; presum ably, at least, as she buried her eyes in her. handkerchief, and her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. The widower's cou-rrago quite forsook him at this, to hitc unexpected crisis. A pretty woman in tearsis a melting object, and the ef fect upon the widoweo that Mrs. Mor row could have desired. She sank ui on the soffa in her grief, A'ery close to him. He wanted to console her, and so he took her hand. It was white, soft and warm. Please don't cry," he said; I have grieved and offended you. Pray forgive me." "There, don't pity me," said tho wid ow, in a trembling but musical voice ; "I have only Robert's happiness and welfare at heart if he can Ikj happy I ought to 1 contented." "Then you release him?" "Certainly." " And lose a fortune you are a noble woman." "What is money to me? I am alone and unloved I shall try to be happy in the consciousness of having sacrific ed myself for yotir son." "He will appreciate your sacrifice," i and Mr. Anson wiped a tear from each of his eyes. Here Mrs. Morrow wept afresh, and her head sank back upon the widower's shoulder. Her form shook convulsive ly, and he put his arni around her waist to support her. "My dear m:idam ," he said "I cannot find it in my heart to take Robert from you." "Robert," she sobbed, I shall , never erseehiui again; I have nothing left to desire except your respect and es teem. Without those I should indeed be unhappy." Mr. Anson drew her closer to him : so close that she lay trembling upon his breast, and he pressed a kiss on her forehead. "You have both, and my deepest ad miration." "Then I am content. Let Robert marry the girl of his choice. I only claim the privilege of retaining an in terest in his welfare, and a corner in your esteem." Mr. Anson promised, as lie bade the widow adieu at the door, to call again soon. And he kept his promise so well that the next evening found him there again. "Victory!" murmured the widow, as she heard him enter the hall; "he will propose to me before he leaves to-night. Rolert is a very pretty fellow, but he is inconstant. The father is. hand some, infatuated with me already, and the money is all his. I prefer the father." She proved reliable in her predica tion. Before her caller had kissed her good-night he had offered her his hand, heart, and fortune, and she had accept ed all three. The result was a double wedding, and the subsequent happiness of all concerned. Mr. Anson was a devoted husband, and Mrs. Morrow made him a faithful and affectionate wife; while both paternally watched over the younger couple. Although so cleverly fooled by the widow, Mr. Anson never suspected it, and never had cause for regret. Mrs. Walworth at Sing Sing. New York Corresjondencc of Boston Tost. As I passed Sing Sing on the Hud son river Road, on Tuesday, and looked up at the narrow, narrow windows in the prison, my heart ached for its in mates, and more especially for that un happy young man, only twenty on the 17th of August, Frank Walworth. It seems so strange that the youth of thi3 boy should go for s.o little in the judg ment that so many have pronounced upon him, and his peculiar life go for nothing at all, while his firmness and self-control, displayed ever since the eventful day of his life, for which his whole nineteen yeais had schooled him, should oniy work against him. The crudest thing thr- public has yet done in this case has oeen, it seems to me, in interpreting malicious ly the courage, patience, heroism, and perfect self-control of the Walworth's, Mother and Son. When a reporter, chronicling the scene at the Tombs on the morning when Mrs. Walwoi th bade her son good-bye, wrote, "she gave him a well-bred kiss," how much did that writer know of why a "scene" was so effectually prevented? Mrs. Wal worth, with her mother's heart filled to bursting with the degradation she feared her son must feel, chained to a gang of the vilest felons, said, in an under tone, "Oh, Frank, can you bear this?" He answered firmly, "Yes, mother, if only you wont cry " "I will promise," said the nother, "net to shed a tear." Alas! she has no tears to shed. Her sufferings have gone to deep for tears. Human nature can sailer only up to r. certain point; after that comes a feeling almost like relief, a de ceitful calm, a3 dangerous a3 the sud den cessation of pain in a wound. AVhen this sudden physical relief oc curs, we know that death has begun, ami when it comes to the mind we dread death to that, too. Mrs. Wal worth is now, and has been since first the awful news reached her, absorbed in the one idea of enduring for her son's sake, and working when there is work to do for him. She is icifectly and absolutely indifferent to her sur roundings. Never complains of any dis comforts or privations; heat or cold, fatigue or rest she does not appear to think of. Life is all absorbed in the one idea of Frank. And in his own case, life in the prison means, as it has outside for so many years, "my moth er." He never admits to her, of to any member 3f his family, that he feels the the confinement, the labor, the coarse food, or any of the hardships of the prison. He always insists that he is doing well and takes an interest in his work. He claims, as he has done from the first, that he cemmitted no crime, because he acted iij self-defense, there fore he does not feel his punishment a degradation. For, during six months at a time he slept outside his mother's door unknown to her, to prevent a night attack from the family persecutor. He saw his father put his hand to his breast-pocket, and thought the pistol was there, and was about to be used.. "Then," says Frank, "I first thought of using my own pistol, for I said to my self, 'What will become of mother, if he kills me, her only protector? Then I fired, and, as he closed upon me, fired again and again." I have seen much of late of those who ought to know the Walworth family best, and that is why I write to you of the two conspicuous members of it, for I know Mrs. Walworth, my self, and knowing so many of her friends in different places, I feel that too much cannot be said of her noble character, or too much sympathy be felt for her in her misfortunes. Here is a fact not generally known: There was a broken chair found in the room where the fatal altercation took place, and there were other evidences which, if uses had been, made of them, would have established beyond a doubt the plea of self-defense, and a friend ac tually pleaded with Frank Walworth to swear that his father had broken the chair in attempting to use it as a weapon of defense against him. This Frank point blank refused to do, de claring that not to save himself from the gallows would he depart from the truth. Friends, as w ell-meaning, beg ged Mrs. Walworth to show more feel ing at the trial, urging that it might produce a good effect. "I can do noth ing for effect," she said; "I was never an actress, and my sufferings have taught me self-control." PJtOORAMJIE OF THE ANNUAL 31EETIXU OF THE NPBRASKA STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIA TION.

Now that it costs two bushels of corn to purchasu a pound of old .gov ernment Java, fanners naturally turn their attention, as they did in the ear ly part of the war, to find a substitute for coffee. A Californa paper has found in sweet potato, sliced, dried and roasted, the best substitute for the coffee bean. It says: Being very wholesome as well as exceedingly nu tritious, it is a valuable substitute for chiccory and the indifferent article of peas which make up a large portion of the mixture usually sold for "pun ground coffee." Its rich saccharine contents not only diminish the amount of sugar required, when it is used, but so completely agglutinate and settle the grounds that coffee mixed with this preparation may be used as line : s Hour without making the infusion muddy, thus permitting double the ordinary strength to be obtained from the coffee itself. The ground sweet potato may be mixed with one-half its bulk of good, pure coffee. This mix ture will cost less than half the price of pure coffee, nmlby many is dec ided ly preferred as a matter of taste. More important, however, to those who cannot drink pure coffee, is the consideration that in the sweet potato there is no headache, no excitement of the nerves and no billious affec tion. GENERAL AIM) IE. Aunt Hattie hears a little alterca tion below. "Mama, go up stairs and see Aunt Hattie,'" A rdie says. "Oh, no, Ardio must'int!" Mamma answers, "he will bother Aunt Hattie when she is busy." Presently a little voice "tomes from the foot of the stairs. "Aunt Hattie?" "Yes, dear," she answers, "what will you have?" "Come up stairs?" "Yes, come right along." And so, satisfied that he has entirely overruled mamas objection, ho tri umphantly ascends the stairs, pittcr patters through the hall, and seats himself finally on the little stool de voted to his especial use in Aunt I lattice loom. "Aunt Hattie, pay wis ye bocks," comes next, and Uncle Mac's blocks which amused 7tis baby hour's must be forthcoming. Little, curious, round, pasteboard cards they are, with the letter on one side, and a picture on the other representing some object begin ning with the above said letter. They are faded and gray with the weight of their thirty years, but they afford Ardie a vast fund of amusement. He can tell the dog and pussy, the cow the horse "Billy," he calls him, the bear, the birds, and many others, but his two years sojourn here have hard ly given him time to learn the letters yet. Time enough for that however. By and by the block's lose their charm, and he roams round the room on a tour of investigation. Pretty soon. he spies a paper bag in the. corner, and after sundry peeps, turns wit li de lighted face. "Aunt Hattie loppels," with a funny little shrug of hi3 shoul ders and a comical grin. Mama does not neglect his education r.nd has taught him not to tease for things, but Aunt Hattie can't resist that pleading look in his eyes, so down goes the work, mid a iopple' is pared for his especial benefit. After, that, is duly disposed of he thinks,it time to "go see Mamma," but first t Aunt Hat tie's suggest i-n picks up the Mocks ami 1 (Stores them to the box, brings it to her to shut up and then climbs up on the trunk, and puts it on tlie corner of the table where it belongs. Then down stairs he goes, and soon Mamma may be heard singing "Keep to the right, Boys," which is a sure sign A rdie will kkui be stored snugly away in tho c rib for his morning's imp. A few Sundays ago Mamma took Ardie to church for the first time, it had been repeatedly impressed upon hi3 memory that he must not talk in church. "Me not talk i'church," ho said, nodding his head decidedly at ev ery reiteration of tho same. Accord ingly he started off in all the glory cf his little new hat which mamma had made for him the previous week, and which she and Aunt Hattie had nearly gone into ecstasies over. When Aunt Hattie came home from her church she found mamma and Ar die there before her. " Well, Ardie, were you good?" "N, me naughty boy." "Why, Ardie, what dirt jou do!" "Ardie 1al!-'cd." A nd then Mama pro'Vcded to tell how he had broken all his promises. After getting into church he was quiet perpaps for the space of five minutes. Mama took his hat off thinking he would be mere quiet w ithout it. "Mama, hat on." Mam?, whispers with a little reproving look, "The people all take their hat's off," TaVe yours oil then" Ardie says. All this so audible that those in the immediate neighborhood began to look amused. Just at this juncture the minister commenced the first prayer. Mamma did not kneel, but devoted her atten tion to the little gentleman: Alas, this did not escHie his quid; eyes! "Mamma, head down," lie began. Mamma w-n ittstanlly obedient, but unfortunately in so doing closed her eyes. "Mamma, imt go to sleep," with a terrific little grab at her nose, which almost made the tears come, and after one or two vain attempts to still tljo little chatterbox, sh was fain to taV him down stairs before the prayer was over. Mamma felt very badly, but sho talked to him and he said he would not do so any more, so instead of go ing right home she thought she wouht try him once more and sit in one of the back seats. She tried Jt, and for a little while he was the ptct re cf, staid propriety. But pretty noon he saw a little boy looking at him, so he shrug ged up his shoulders and griuned a lit tle bit of a grin by way of experiment. Finding that the boy was much amused he roused hiiiijelf for further ext it ion. He fidgeted around awhile, and finally stood tip on tjie se;t :.nd punched a genii "man in liont cf him w ith his little foreiing-r. till he turned round, when Ardie repeated hi shrug and grin. This provoked a smile even from the gentleman, and some young ladies behind him tittered audibly.

This time Mamma was so thoroughly mor tified, that drpit: her living heart which never could punish the darling baby she just had to give him a litllo shake, and quite a big scolding. Then Ardie cried, and they had quite a little time in the ntn i t c:r all to themselves. Next Sunday, Ardie, when i:i-t d if he would be a good boy in church, re plied "not," so Mamma had to utay at home with him and make up her mir d to wait patiently . for the time when with years Ardie should have learned the art of silence, so hurd a lesson for many to learn. , While Aunt Hattie is writing all this she hears Papa below reading tho "Young Folks" to brother "Daffy," and when something very funny is. read, and "Daffy," Papa and Mamma, all laugh, Ardie laughs too fronj his little bed, aa if he most fully appreciated it all. At last he quietly slip.; down from the bed, across tho floor and into. Papa's arpi'i, who is obliged," perfoti'e, to lay down tho book, stop the charm ing account of the little darkey child-.

Rjwbl:an strikes a square blow: i St) far as we have seen, none of the Democratic newspapers have mention ed the fact that the recently developed robberies of the Brooklyn city treasury were perpetrated by Democratic offkials. The ..'rga'ns of Democracy are very urgent in their demands for an honest administration of public affairs; nd it is a little singular, under the circumstances, that even In the few. localities where Democrats have tho handling of the people's money thero are so many instances c f defalcation. 31iJ.Ho .Men In Trad. There is no denying tb: court that i? paid to the rising party by men of all callings and condition. Tho other, day a venerable preacher of the Chris tian persuasion was holding service in his church, which is the heart of a grange community. In I no romse oi his -sermon he becaui' eloquent, and exhorted his hearer to c- me to Christ; and, insisting upon p -ona! and direct communion with the at'.er, declared that all other means woie as "useless as middie-men in trade." The next day he went to his butcher's to buy him some meat, and was tV.inderslrurk to be deni"d. "What!" Jf; exclaimed, "don't I pay for what t get?" waxirg wroth as i.e .reason; d. "I I ? vent I always paid for what 1 got?" , "Yes" coolly replied the butcher; 'but 1 can't sell you any more meat. You must go to the stca: for your steak, and I am going to Christ for my religion.
