THE LITTLE BOOT.
Dtxpt, stumpv and old.
The funniest little boot, -With
mended toe and flattened heel,
Ever worn by a little foot.
Within the children's room
The widowed mother stands,
Still smiliug with misty eyes
On a little boot in her hands.
Carefully laid away.
With a mother's yearning care.
Are toys with which the children played,
The clothes thev used to wear.
With loving, longing heart
Her gaze is backward cast.
As she softly lifts the little hoot
From the stillness of the paet.
She sees a little boy
Thrust out a chubby foot.
And hears his happy laugh and shout
At sight of his first boot ;
And, trudging down the road.
Stubbing grass, aud leaves and roots.
She sees again the solid form
Of the little man in boots.
A conqueror of the day.
He made the soft air ring;
Amid the shoeless lads at school
The boy in boots was King.
Oh, the stillness of the room
Where the children used to play!
Oh, the silence of the empty houe
Since the children went away I
And is this the mother's life
The memories her heart doth hold?
"To bear, and love, and lose,"
Till all the sweet, sad talc is told
In a single broken toy,
A flower pressed to keep
All faded still the faded life
Of one who fell asleep.
" LI3IBUI2GEII."
Oh a tree there sat a crow.
In his bill a chunk of cheese ;
On the ground a fox, below.
Said : " Some rouf ic, if you please.
You are beautiful of wing.
And I bet that you can sing."
Cheered by flattery, the crow
bang, and dropped the cheese below.
Then the cunning fox did freeze
To the fallen chunk of cheese;
And he calmly lugged it otf.
And be scoffed the song with scoff.
MORAL.
When they pat you on the back.
When they say that you're the one ;
When they say they're on the track,
" And have been obliged to ruu;"
When their compliments denote
They are going for your vote.
You can do just as you please.
But you'd better watch your cheese.

on express trains as something to be desired
bv the impecunious. W hen the train left
Chicago, bound east, on the afternoon of that
day, two men were observed standing upon
the platform of the express car, a somewhat
unusual position for the peacefully-inclined
traveler, but one to be desired by those whom
necessity compels to journey but whom fate
has relegated to impecuniosity they were
out of the way of the conductor.
Through the forests and swamps of South
ern Michigan they stuck bravely to the plat
form until about nine o'clock, when they
reached the vicinity of Three Oaks. While
the train was bowling alone at the rate of
forty miles an hour they clambered over the
top of the car and descended to the rear plat
form, whence a door opened into the express
ear. This was in charge of Spencer Heath, an
employe of the American Express Company
The robbers were prepared with the necessary
appliances to promote their success, and dis
posed of them in a manner establishing the
belief that they were familiar with the busi
ness. HaviDg securely fastened the door of
the baggage-car by ropes tied from the knob
to the railing, they attempted to dislodge the
door of the express car. This they succeeded
in effecting by means of a heavy iron bar,
which enabled them to pry it from the hinges,,! on the road would
and the interior of the car with its contents I ing,
was at their disposal.
Heath, the messenger, oceupied a seat oppo
site the safe, and, with portfolio on his lap,
waa engaged in checking and making up his
run, or, ratner, distributing me vaiuaoies
consigned to his care. The roar and rumble
of the cars prevented his hearing their move
ments, and the first knowledge he possessed of
their presence was when they 6tood in threat
ening attitude opposite him. Startled by the
sight which met his astonished gaze he was
upon the point of rising to confront the des
peradoes, when the larger of the couple struck
him a violent blow with his fist, reinforced by
a pair of brass knuckles, which forced him
from the chair he waa fitting on to the floor
in a semi-conscious condition. Though
stunned in a measure by the brutal attack
he yet maintained his presence of mind,
and drawing his pistol as the smaller villain
Btooped over him for the purpose, doubtless,
of concluding their dastardly attempt by the
commission of murder, fired, and, the ball
lodging in his assailant's left temple, he fell
heavily to the floor and yielded up the ghost.
The lights had by this time been extinguished,
and the brave man w ho bad periled his life in
discharge of the trust committed to him faint
ed away.
In the darkness and gloom, with his com
rade dead on the floor and the subject of his
attack apparently in the same state, the robber
made a hasty investigation of the object of
his attempt, and securiug money in packages
amounting in the aggregate to $2,700 6wung
himself from the scene of strife and robbery
and death.
When the train reached Niles the station-
agent noticed that the door of the car was
wide open, and upon investigating the mys
tery found Heath just emerging from a state
of unconsciousness, and his opponent in the
scrimmage related above lying stark and dead
by his side. When he had comprehended the
situation he turned his attention to Heath,
and, after carrying him into the air, by the use
of some potent remedies he gradually revived,
detailed the above facts, and expressed his de
termination to complete the run, which he did,
though persuaded not to do so.
The corpse was carried into the station
house and examined. It was that of a man
not more than twenty-two years of age, w ith
light brown hair, fair complexion, an incipient
blonde mustache, and arrayed in the garb of a
workingman. This was evidently intended as
a disguise, for his skin wai white, and hands
as soft as a woman's indicated his occupation
to have been one not requiring manual labor
or muscular exertion.
Nothing was learned as to his identity ex
cept that in an in&idc pocket were letters bear
ing the superscription of Charles Queenan.

" There he is in the candle again !"
exclaimed Celia, stopping her needles
and whisking the half-finished stocking
at a circling moth obstinately bent on
perishing in the flame. " I wonder what
moths were made for? stupid things!"
"Made for the candle, perhaps," said
Rory, with a peculiar inflection in his
lazy voice.
Celia gave mm an impatient glance,
but resumed he." knitting lthout answer

" Jno, I don't," answered Uclia, shortly
" Well, you ought to know," said Rory,
with that queer accent again.

cried, " I won't be hinted at like this !"

slipped round and seated herself in his
empty chair. Rory did not dare to follow

But she immediately became judge-like
again.

Ilory, a sudden boyish gush of tendernets

with a red cheek, uut her reply was
practical in the extreme.
Well, suppose you do, what does it
amount to? I wouldn't marry a shirk,

This time it was into ltory's dark lace

Celia's word had stung deeper than she
knew or meant, perhaps.
" What would you have me do ? " he
said, at last.
"Anything! " answered Celia, energet

Celia. "Why, for the sake of working.

father did leave you just enough to dawdle
along. Yes, you do dawdle, Rory no use
scowling like that; what else can you
call the way you've spent your time ever
since vou came home ? When it's rainy
you dawdle off with a fishing-rod; and
when it's pleasant you dawdle under the

"In the evening I dawdle round the
candle," completed Rory, sarcastically.
Yes. exactly ; and 1 can tell you, Kory,
the candle doesn't like it!"
Doesn't it?" said Rory, getting up.
Well, good-night, then, candle; I won't
dawdle round you any more this evening,
anyhow!" With, whicn speecn He toos
his six feet of laziness out of the room.
Celia stopped the click of her needles
and listened for his tread on the stairs.
She did not hear it, but what she did hear
next minute was the outside door closing
with a bang that indicated Master Rory
to be in no very gentle mood. A little
smile and then a little frown came over
Celia's face.
" Where is he off to now, I wonder?"
she said to herself, not condescending,
however, to go to the window and see
what direction the truant was taking.
To Susy Tibbetts', perhaps; he has done
that once or twice before when I put him
out and he was put out to-night! Well,
I can't help it; I can't see him running
to waste so and hold my tongue. If he
chooses to revenge himself by going to
Susy Tibbetts', why, he must, that's all.
I suppose he won't expect me to sit up
for him ; he knows there's the pantry win

there to hover .round the candle as long
and as close as he liked, tie had gone
down to the mill-stream, to a mossy stone
where he had been wont, as Celia said, to
dawdle with a fishing-rod ; but there was
no fishing-rod in his hand now, and no
dawdling in his mood, either. That word
shirk" was still rankling within him;
it was not by any means the first time
that Celia had scolded him for being
lazy, bufthat epithet somehow seemed to
point and drive home the reproach in
quite a new way.
Kory was lazy, there is no denying that.
You saw it in the languid grace of his
well-developed figure; in the peculiar
curve of his lips ; in the very way in which
tne neavy luls rose slowly Irom ins eyes,
as if it were hardly worth the trouble ; in
motion and outline, as in coloring, the
Southern mother was betrayed in him.

hat that was does not require many
words to explain. Kory and here it may
be remarked that he did not owe his Irish
name to any Irish blood, but to the ina
bility of one of his father's farm hands to
as he phrased it get his tongue round
the little fellow's name. For Capt,
l rent, with that peculiar taste in nomen
clature not infrequently to be observed in
the New Englander born and bred, had
called his boy Rosario, after the South
American settlement where he had met
his wife; and, this appellation being un
managable to more tongues than Pat Mc-
uinnis', that worthy s solution of the
difficulty had been speedily adopted by
everybody. Rory Trent, then, was the
orphan son of a South American Spaniard
and a roving New Englander, who had
been a sailor and a little of every thing else.

one bleak November day they were bidden
to a bushed assembly, where " the toreign
woman" lay rigid enough now, her out
landish garb exchanged for colorless
grave-clothes; then the black, frozen sods
ot the little New England cemetery
closed over the stranger Irom the lar-away
land of the vine and the palm, and there
was nothing left to tell of her save that
mound and a motherless little boy.
Capt. Trent followed his wife before
many years, but not until he had succeed
ed in making ducks and drakes of his re
cently-acquired money by rash specula
tion and the undertaking of New England
farming on a South American scale, with
the result to be expected from more zeal
than discretion. That accomplished
concluding, perhaps, that he had about
exhausted this world he betook himself
to another, leaving Rory with the wreck
of his property just enough, as Celia had
said, to let him dawdle along through lite
lioy and property were confided to the
care ot the Captain's half-brother, Jacob
Wetherell, who was to give the lad a
home during his minority, send him to
college this being expressly stipulated
bv the testator, with the exaggerated ideas
of the advantages of that institution pecul
iar to those who have not shared them
and be altogether a father to the father
less boy.
The provisions of the will had been
duly carried out: Rory, grown up, had
passed his lour years within the univer
sity wans and lett them the wiser, no
doubt, by all that experience of prank
playing and authority-cheating which are
among the benefits ot a collegiate course.
Otherwise it cannot be said that he had
particularly distinguished himself. He
had just graduated and returned home at
the age of twenty-two, healthy, handsome
and lazy, with his life all before him and
no apparent notion of what to d i.with it
beyond smoking, idling and making love,
in season and out of season, to his cousin
Celia Wetherell.
As for this last pastime, no one seeing
Celia would be disposed to blame him.
She was the type we all know in New
England and shall hardly meet with out
ot it: a mixture ot tun and gravity, senti
ment and shrewdness ; so pretty it seemed
that she must be good for nothing, and so
capable one felt that she ought to be
ugly; kind, keen and clever; Iresh and
sweet as an opening briar-rose, with all
the rose's bloom and some of its thorns
as luckless Rory could testify. Occupied
herself from morning till night, she
looked with extreme disfavor on his pur
poseless existence, as she regarded it.
But then, as it happened, he had one pur
pose, and that was to make her his wite;
so wnen sue said to-night, with sucii
uncompromising plainness, that she
would never marry a shirk, the words
went straight home as no others could
have done. IIe could not get rid of them ;
the mill-current seemed to ripple
to their tune; they formed the
basis of the thoughts of anger
and mortification that ran through
his mind while he sat on the
stone thinking it out, and of the plan that
had taken shape before he returned home
to let himself in at the pantry window,
unheard by anybody but Celia, who,
though she wouid not sit uo for folk that
staid out late courting, nevertheless did
not sleep till she had heard said folk
come in.
The next morning at breakfast Rory as
tonished his uncle Jacob by inquiring if
there were not some books of his father's
on South America somewhere about the
house.
I guess so," answered the old farmer,
intent on the carving of a pink-and-white
ham artistically picked out with, black
pepper spots. " But what do you want
of South American books, hey, Rory?"
Only because I'm going there mysell,"
was Rory's startling answer.
Celia improvldently dropped five large
lumps of sugar one after another into her
father's coffee cup, and the old man him
self left the knife quivering half-way in
the ham.
You going to South America!" he re
peated, wrinkling up his eyebrows the
better to stare at Rory. " Y hy, bless the
boy, he ain't waked up yet!"
"On the contrary, Lncle Jacob, I've just
waked up," answered Rory, with a side
glance at Celia. "And quite time, too. I
must sec something of the world, you
know; of course 1 can't be always hang
ing round here doing nothing.1'
Considering that, at that time yesterday.
Rory had not appeared to find the slightest
difficulty in such a mode of life, it w as no
wonder if Uncle Jacob was somewhat
surprised by the decided way in which
this statement was advanced. But, as his
nephew stuck to his plan, the old man
too was soon brought round to regard it
s, on the whole, an excellent idea. So
the thing was settled, and Rory, with an
eager energy which Lncle Jacob declared
he had not thought was in the boy, set
about his preparations forthwith, and
gave no rest to himself or anybody else
till all was ready.
Good-by, Celia," he said, as he held
his cousin's hand at the moment of de
parture. " The moth's going where he
won't trouble you again for one while, at
any rate! The" Lord knows if I'll ever
come back, but, whatever happens,
whether I live or die, you sha'n't call me
a shirk again." Then he looked at her
with his great, pleading, deep-blue eyes
which said all that pride tied his tongue
from saying, kissed her twice, thrice,
passionately, and was gone.
Celia, perhaps, if she could have or
dered all exactly to her liking, would not
have had her moth fly quite so far oil", but
she was not one to look back, her hand
once put to the plow; she had spoken for
Rory's good, come what might of it. If
he was thereby lost toher at least he was
gained to himself, as she believed, and
she was not going- to rceret her work be
cause it was woikin? itself r it. beyond
her anticipation. So shc l. . pt on cheerily
along the round of her daily duties, those
multifarious cares known only to iaruiers'
wives and daughters, who, what
ever happens, must be prepared
for seed-time and harvest Celia .was
as capable a little mistress as ever
lived, and her quick eye and step per
vaded the house like a spring breeze; she
was here, there, and everywhere, provld
ing for the men, overseeing the maids,
scolding them, too, sometimes, no doubt,
all through the week, and then on Sun
days ready in her place in the choir, with
a voice and lace as lrcsh as her go-to
meeting best, laid up in lavender and
rose leaves; leading, iu short, the good,
old fashioned, orthodox village life, in
cluding, perhaps, the "sparking," who
knows? lor she was not only the prettiest
girl in the town, but an only child, whose
lather possessed substantial charms of an
other sort.
Kory, meanwhile, wasdoing well "over
there," as they called the great, far-away
tropical country, whose distance in cross
ing he seemed somehow to have bridged
over for those left behind in the red house
under the Northern pines and maples.
He had been very lucky, he wrote, in the
partnership into which he had entered ;
was not making money with a rush, ex
actly, but was certainly not losing it; was
getting very rich in experience it not in
gold. His letters were assuredly prosaic
enough; they dealt less with description
than with lacts, aud with sentiment least
of all; the wildest stretch ot imagination
could not have made them into love-let
ters; they might have been read aloud on
town-meeting day without raising a blush
on Celia's cheek. Yet still there was al
ways some allusion which nobody but
herself could understand, something
which, without any direct appeal, was
meant to refresh old memoriea which
might yet be aiive in her heart. So at
least the girl fancied, until she remarked
certain other allusions, more frequent of
late, to the cousin whom he had lound
over there, the cousin Juanita, who owned
miles of vineyard, w ho had the largest
eyes and the smallest feet, and was the
best bolero d&nccr ol all the senoritas in
that whole region. Then a doubt grad
ually formed itself iu Celia's mind, a
doubt strengthened by the innocent com
ment of Uncle Jacob, who had no more
notion of any special tenderness between
his daughter and his nephew than if they
had been a pair of lovers in the moon in
stead of right under his silver-bowed
spectacles. "The boy's following in his
father's track," chuckled the worthy man,
and in her heart Celia believed that her
father was right, 'ihen, over her knit
ting, she would try to make a picture for
herself of Juanita, as she looked dancing
that outlandish but no doubt bewitching
dance, the bolero, and the Spanish girl's
black eyes would flash and her little leet
twinkle curiously all through the staid
New England conversation, till, finally,
when Mark Wilson, or young Dr. Heath,
or Lewis Saunderland, from over the hill,
had said good night and gone away, Celia
would betake herself to her chamber, there
to niece out the broken images again in
dreams, and fancy she heard liory's rich
voice singing serenades under the thick-
blossomed creepers, and saw the gleam of
gold in Juanita s black cloud ot tresses,
till she started suddenly broad awake,
with the sun in her eyes, and Peter's whis
tle in her ears, as he went oat to fodder
the cattle in the early morning. Then
she would half smile as she rose and
made her simple but dainty toilet, and
standing before the glass shook loose over
her lair face the thick, waving locks that
needed no foreign ornament to give them
the gleam of gold; then she would go
lightly down stairs, lor she must set the
whole household machinery in motion,
she must see that others ate and drank.
she must eat and drink herself; and amid
her multiplicity of occupations she had
no time to pine or pale, and so the new
day would wear, pleasantly enough to a
close, like those that had gone before
and should follow after it.
So four years slipped away, and then
liorv came home suddenly without a
word of warning; he wanted to give them
a surprise, he said. And a huge surprise
it was: only after a little he hail dropped
so completely into his old place that it
seemed as if he had never been away. So
said Uncle J acob.
" You ain't a bit changed, not a bit,"
went on the old man. "ou're brown
enough yes, but then you always was
collee-color. you know, Kory, hey?"
" Yes, 1 know," answered Kory, return
ing the old man's laugh. "Uut 1 am
changed lor all that, Lncle Jacob. Ask
Celia."
"Well, well, perhaps j-ou be, perhaps
you be," said the oiu man. "iuy eyes
am t what they were nor my glasses
neither. I shali have to buy a new pair,
I guess." But the change in his nephew
was one which no new pair of glasses
nor even of eyes, unless they had been
Celia's would have enabled Lncle Jacob
to see.
S'pose we sha'n't keep you long," con
tinued he. presently. " lou'll be In a
hurry to get back again?"
"No, Lncle Jacob," answered Kory;
I've come home for good. I mean to try
and turn to account here what I've man
aged to pick up out there."
Aha! didn't 1 say so? uoing 10 uo
just as his father did ! " chuckled the old
farmer, oblivious, apparently, 01 me iact
that neither his lather's agricultural nor
matrimonial ventures had thriven in
transplanting. " But you'll have to go
back, though, to fetch your bride. Wheu's
it to be, eh, lad? when's the wedding com
ing oft?
" I he wcudin
"Yes, but he's grown shy; he'll be oil
again in a minute," said the girl, uncon
sciously following out the thought in her
mind.
"What odda will you bet on that?"
asked Rory.
"Betting is wrong," 6aid Celia, de
murely. " Not between cousins," returned Rory,
with equal gravity. "This coral-headed
pin of mine let me see to that rose in
your hair, that Mr. Moth stays and singes
himself?"
Celia did not refuse, and silence con
senleth. They kept quiet, and watched
and waited.
Not for very long. The winged sim
pleton advanced, retreated, advanced
nearer, executed a few zigzag flights arul
eccentric curves, then made a blind dash
at the flame and fell scorched on the
table
"Well!" said Rory, coming round to
Celia, and his eyes looking straight into
hers, while ho detached the rose. That
required time and patience, for it was a
thorny bud, and by the lime Rory had
finished one of his fingers was bleeding.
" You pay dear for your whistle," said
Celia.
"No dearer than I expected," answered
Rory. " I knew it was a brier-rose," and
again he looked at her. Ho did not go
back to his former seat then, but drew a
chair beside her, and leaned hiselbowon
the table, where the moth was still feebly
fluttering.
"Poor old fellow!" said Rory, looking
down at it with a queer smile, " come and
die in honey." And he picked it up and
placed it on the rose leaves. " Moths like
roses, too," he said.
" 1 ou're flunking of butterflies," said
Celia, knitting away most industriously.
"What's the difference?" asked Rory.
" Oh, I don't know ever so much !"
" Well, yes, so much, at any rate, but
terflies are rovers, and moths arc con
stantto the candle."
There was another long pause.
" Do you remember just such an even
ing as this four years ago, Celia," said
Rory, at last, "when you called me a
shirk and sent me about my business?"
"O Rory!" said Celia, reproachfully,
" I did hope you wouldn't remember all
my silly speeches against me."
" AaaiiiHt you !" repeated Kory. " I hose
were the kindest words you ever spoke to
me. Made a man of me. Came just in
time, too, for, a little longer, anil I should
have settled down into a regular villago
lounger like old Tim Wiley, perhaps
hanging about the stores, sitting on
molasses-barrels, and drinking old
Jamaica. Might have come to that who
knows?"
Both laughed.
" But, Celia," said Rory, presently, "I'm
not a 6hirk now, and is there any chance
for me? You know you're all the world
to me, dear."
The transition Irom molasses to senlt-
ment was so abrupt that it confused Celia
for a moment. Then she remembered
Juanita, and her lips compressed. How
dare Rory play with her like that?
" Kory," she said, quickly, " you ought
not to talk so to me."
"Why not?" said unabashed Rory.
"Oh! you know."
"No, I don't. Is it Dr. Heath
Lew?"
"No, no! But nrcn't you going
marry your cousin ?"
" I hope so!" said Rory, fervently.
"Well, then!"
" Well," repeated Roiy, " what of that?"
"What of that!" echoed Celia, with a
wondering glance at him, as if to niiiko
sure he had not been taking just a drop
of old Tim Wiley's specific "why, you
can't marry two people, and you know
you said yourself the wedding would be
next year?"
" Oh, you're thinkingof Juanita? Yes,
but her wedding won't be mine, you
know ?"
" Not yours ?"
" Of course not ! She's going to marry
a Spanish fellow as light heeled as she is.
They danced into love together, and now
they're going to dance into matrimony."
" Oh !" Scarcely to save her life could
Celia have spoken more than that one
word, nor have looked up into the dusky
blue eyes she felt were waiting for hers.
" Did you think Juanita was the cous
in 1 hoped to marry?" said Rory, in a
lower voice. " I've got another cousin
Celia"
Silence; and Celia knitting as if for a
vager. Rory leaned forward and cap
tured both her hands, in defiance of the
dartintr needle-points and the imminent
risk of another wounded finger. " Celia,"
said he, "is it Dr. Heath or I?"
" It's not Dr. Heath " said Celia, and
then knitting and needles became entan
gled in hopeless confusion, and I am
afraid some of the stitches in that stock
ing had to be taken over again.
" Talking of Juanita, Celia," said Rory,
by and by, "as I told you, your packing
me off was the making'of me; but, all the
same, wasn't it something of a risk?
How did you know but I migfU turn out
a butterfly instead of a moth?"
"No danger," laughed Celia, ignoring
all her previous doubts and fears. " Once
a moth, always a moth!"
Rory answered this saucy speech as it
deserved. But his reply cannot be set
down on paper. Appleton's Jourruil.

ily; then, with a stirt, and a smile, Oh,
some time next year, I expect."
"Then it really was to be," thought
Celia, as she watched Rory's unconscious
face. How strange that she, nice should
have been the one to send him half across
the world to find a wile in this unknown
ti .1 . ..i ii
cousin, who otherwise wouiu uououess
have remained unknown to him forever.

self, as often before, but this time she
could not thus console herself quite so
rcadilv. And just then Rory's eyes turned
suddenly full upon her, and she blushed
guiltily, and got up and went into the
kitchen, remembering an at once mat
Nancy Walsh wmj a raw girl, and was
probably spoiling whatever she had in
hand.
Two or three days passed by much a3
of old.
Do you expect anybody to-night,
Celia?" asked Rory one evening.
No, not that 1 know of," answered
Celia, rather in surprise; "why?"
"Nothinir, only as Ur. Heath was here
last night, and Lewis Saunderland the
nitrht before, and Mark Wilson the night
before that, I was wondering if you had
one for every evening in the week ?

turning away in search of something in
her work basket.

sure 1 nope so, ior men we nave a pros
pect of a quiet evening."

time before either ol them spoke a word.

P. T. Quin, in a recent address at
Trenton, N. J., gives the strawlerry crop
of New Jersey at 2,UUU,uuu quarts in iavor
able seasons, worth at 15 cents per quart
$300,000; blackberries, raspberries and
grapes, about as much more; and he esti
mates the cranberry crop at i,ow
bushels of sound fruit (worth atout $:JU0,-
000), and more than half the entire crop

evening just four years Ijefore.
" There's your moth back again, Celia,"
said Rory, suddenly.
Celia looked up with a Btart, first at
