HER ROMANCE.
She kept a small store on the cor
ner of Third street , where the children
stopped on their way to schood and
spent their pennies. They all called
her aunt Lucy. She was creeping
along among tho seventies , when the
church in Pennhollow , where she had
attended for over fifty years , changed
ministers. Wise old parson Graves
slipped quietly away to his farm , and
young Arthur Winn , fresh from tho
college , succeeded him. It was like
putting a book in tho place of a living
oracle , but tho people nad all hopes
that the book would some time bud
and blosdom , as did Aaron's rod.
Young Winn had learned , while among
the hills where he studied sacred lorot
not only the wisdom requisite to his
profession , but a heart lesson , which
was quite as much needed. And so he
took ltegina Ball to Pennhollow.
Regina had been my inseparable
companion from the time of short
frocks and pinaiores ; and Pennhol
low , with its great churches , its new
duties , and strange scenes , could not
fill the void which each felt at separa
tion. Scarcely was the newtentpitch-
ed ere beseeching letters began to pour
in upon mo to come to dear , lonely
friend ; come and pass the winter in
Pe'nnhoilow.
I had never traveled many miles
away from my own home , and this
opening opportunity was quite at
tractive. I took counsel with my
mother , and it was agreed , somewhat
sadly , I remember , that the beseech
ing letters should have a favorable
answer. The sadness inhered in the
thought of leaving my dear parents
quite alone through the dull
and stormy months , while
I had a aay time in the
city. But were ever parents thought-
ful of themselves under such circum-
1
ntances ? From the beginning of thot
world until now , the very word par-
ent stands for self-sacrilice. A oity
for the children who allow the sacri- ! I '
fice to assert itself perpetually , and
without large returns.
And in going to Pennholhv I got ac-
qainted with aunt Lucy and learned
her romance. When I walked up the
broad aisle with Regina , and entered
the minister's pew , I was somewhat
surprised to find it occupied. A little
old lady , her round face framed in
whito cap frills , sat in the corner of
the pew. Her dark eyes had a smiling
twinkle , which certain permanent
dimples intensified , making the
wrinkled old face inviting and pleas-
ant. She was very decorious all
through the services , and instead of
being hindered in our devotions by
the proximity of a stranger , we were
helped. A decree of spiritual ex
altation possessed us quite beyond
any. previous experience. It may
have been in part owing to the time-
honored church , and the multitude of
decorous worshipers ; but when Regina
and I talked the matter over , we quite
agreed that our heavenly mood was
largely due to aunt Lucy. If sunshine
such as hers can Elorify theface of age ,
there is something in religion which
our young enthusiasm has no power ,
as yet , to fathom , we said ; something
which grows and deepens with the
passing years.
I found , that aunt Lucy always sat
in the minister's pew. She seemed to
belong to the church in away which no
body else did. As I got acquainted
with the people , meeting them at tho
sociables , and around their own tables
Pennhollow was a master
place to ask tho minister
to tea , and of course I was
always invited , too I found they all
claimed relationship with the little
old lady in the minister's pew. They
had persuaded her to give up her can
dy store on the corner of Third street ,
thinking she wa too old to have so
much care , and . the church take
care of her.
They took a right gracious way to
supply the income of the candy sales.
It was agreed that , she should go out
to pass the day with one family , then
with another , until she had made the
circuit of the parish , then begin and
go around again : and so on. As aunt
Lucy had a nephew living on a farm
near the sea , so that she could go to
the sea-shore in the summer , she did
not visit the same family oftenerthan
once a year , unless it nugnt nave oeen
the family of the minister. She could
not wholly conform to the routine ,
but would go where she liked somewhat
oftener. I remember she came for the
first time to the house of the young
minister on the Sunday after Thanks
giving. An immense turkey , which did
not get roasted on the regular day.for
the reason that the minister's family
was invited out , came to its post of
honor for aunt Lucy.
How eloquently she praised the cap
tain who brought the turr y , and the
captain's wife who sent the pies. It
was a fashion they had in Pennhollow
I suppose , to save tne minister ' s wife
the trouble of mixing the indigestible
compound , and the minister's purso
the unnecessary outlay. It was a real
God-send to Regina to have .thepies ,
for she did not know much about
cooking , and I did not , either , so that
we naturally confined ourselves to sim
ple things which were easily made.
We learned a great deal about the
of the parish through aunt
Eeoplo
iucy. There was one blessed trait in
the old lady she praised everybody.
" We quite concluded , before the Sun
day visit ended , that the church of the
Holv Cross in Pennhollow had some *

W li l sWlst sWjPf i i lWrsj
I how managed to gather tho cream o !
tho city. Certainly , if overy othor
church was mado up of such perfect
people as tho young minister had that
day preached to , there was an anoma
lous population in U10 city a race of
angels scarcely lacking v.ings.
After aunt Lucy went away , I said
to Regina :
"There is a romance connected with
this suave woman , and I am going to
fathom it. She's right handsome ,
and I'll warrant there's a lover some
where in the beginning of this century
or tho closo oi tho last. "
"She will not tell you , if there is"
said my friend.
' • You notice how easily she talks ;
of course sho will tell me. "
"Yes ; she talks easily of common
things , the church and the sewing cir
cle , but lovers of fifty years ago aie
not so easily brought to tho light of
day. She'll be a very sphinx if you
try to oxtract the secret of her aged
maidenhood. "
I believed in myself rather than in
Regina , on this e.spccial theme , and as
a phrenologist had just told me there
were car-loads of paper waiting for my
pen , naturally I wanted to take pos
session of interesting material. So I
began to court aunt Lucy. There
was amnio opportunity. I met her
twico in tho church on Sunday , and
as often on week clays "out to tea , "
when it was very delightful to walk
home with her. and sit a while in her
cosey room on Ant'er street.
I asked her about tho old times
when tho church was in its infancy ,
and about tho people who filled its
ample spaces before tho great division
which occurred during the war ol
1812.
One night I remember the dim can
dle light , and just how she looked ply
ing her busy knitting needles wo had
been to tea at Capt. Rice's , and she
talked about sea captains a great
deal on her way home ; when , risina
and going to the bureau , she fumbled
among tho papers and brought me a
miniature ofa "seacaptain , " shesaid.
The very young face was genial and
honest.and I asked her if he went to
the old church.
"Yes ; we went to the old church to
gether , when we were children. "
"That is a beautiful picture , aunt
Lucy. Where was it painted ? "
"In Paris , " she replied , and her
voice was low and tremulous.
"Tell me about him , aunt Lucy. "
"Why , I have never told anybody
about him. "
"But you can tell me. I am soon
1 going back to my home among the
green country hilis , and it will be just
as safe with mo as though it were
locked up in a chest and the key
I lost. "
| "I don't know what made me show
1 you the picture. I have never shown
the picture to one of the girls. But I
do feel just like talking about him to
night , and I guess I will. We went to
Ma'am Goreham's school together
when we were children ; and he used to
carry my books for me , and lead me ,
and I liked him better than any of the
other boys and girls , and he liked me.
I Then when he was not a bit more
I than fifteen , he went to sea. I did
not want him to go , but he would.
j ' l "He said ho meant to be a rich sea
captain and know all about the wonI
j derful countries all over the world. He !
I was gone six years , and when he came j I
j
home , if he was not a captain , he was
! pretty near it. He came to see me
j I tho very first place he went , and ,
brought me the miniature and these
shells , and some other lovely things ,
too , which did not last like the shells.
That was the time we were engaged ,
' ' r was too happy'to tell of it , and
u a soul ever knew.
"He went off again to be gone three
years , and he expected to be captain j I
before he back and then
came , we were 1
to be married , and I was to take one j I
'
voyage with him. and if 1 liked it , I J
might go as often as I pleased. I
thought I should live on the sea if he j
did. I was very busy , and the three. 1
years did not seem so long as I
thought it would. But when it was
all ended the captain did not
come and the waiting was hard. By-
and-by , the newspap s safd that the
vessel sailed for home at a iven time ,
and ought to have reached port long i
before. But I did not give up. I kept
on hoping , and praying , and praying
and hoping that .my captain would
yet corao. !
'
"My wedding dresses were all ready
I did not have tlrem made in Penn
hollow , for fear the people would find
out.and I wanted to keeD it all to mv- ,
self. But the Jong days kept coming
and going just the same ; and every
morning when I awoke my heart
ached , and it did not get over aching
all day. I used to go down to the ,
shore and look out on the sea almost \ !
'
every day ; but that only made me
sadder. I was beginning to think that
my captain was lost , and I grew very
restless and thin and almost sick.
Then one day Parson Richards com
forted me , though he did not
know it. He took for a text , "He
holdeth the sea in the hollow of his
hand ; " and oh , ho talked beautifully
about the good , loving father who has
so many doors into his heavenly
kingdom , and after that , it did not
seem so terrible to go by way of the
sea. And even in thinking of the bady
of my captain being rocked in the
sea , it was all right after I knew that
God's arms was undpr the water.
Then I said I must live , and as I was
poor , with no friends to help me , I
must work. So I setup the little can
dy store. I kept a variety of other
articles which brought a great many
people , and especially children , into
my store every day. It was good for ,
me , seeing them , for it helped me to 1
keep a pleasant face , and after awhile , '
the sunshine got down into my Heart. \
The old church helped me more than j
anything else , and the ministers' wives
were always kind to me and wanted
me to sit in their pew. He never came
back , and we never heard from him or
the vessel. "
This , then , was aunt Lucy's ro
mance ; locked in her heart for fifty
years ; filling her life with a serene and
gracious sweetness , broken at my feet
at last like the alabaster box . of pre
cious ointment. Now I had a secret
that even Regina could not know , that
I would not have her know for the
world. Was sho not daily question
ing me about a lover of mine who wns
a long way off , and whom sho sus
pected of coldness ? I could not let <
her know the tender bond holding me j
to aunt Lucy.
In my determination to hide my
heart's unrest , I watched the postof-
fice , and when she questioned , me
about letters from him , I avoided a
'direct answer. Regina , in her young
content well , she Wanted a great boon
to come to all whom she loved. But
that could hardly be possible. "Sir
Arthur , " as we liked to call him , was
a princely man , and Regina had
drawn a prize in life's lottery.
I
The winter days were at length
counted out amid much going and
coming and real earnest work in tho
homo and church. A successful fair
had marked the young minister's first
winter , and we had made a multitude
of acquaintances at tho fair. When
spring began to show its green I went
back to my school teaching among
tho hills , and to tho homo that was
glad of my coming. Several years
went by beforo I again saw Regina.
Indeed I did not expect to visit her
again , bo far away , but she expected it
and said so. The second baby was a
girl and named for mo. It was to bo
christened in June , and beseeching let
ters began to pour in upon mo again.
I must como to the christening , corao
and pass the summer ; I had' kept
school long enough to deserve a rest ;
and summer was the time to see Penn
hollow in all its glory. As father and
mother had grand-children growing
up around them now , it was easier to
say yes , and I went.
After the christening , there were
plans which seemed to have been
mado especially for me ; drives to the
shore , and sails down the harbor , and
a visit to aunt Lucy , whom I sadly
j missed in the minister's pew. Sho
j ! was spending the summer at her
nephew's , close by the sea. Indeed ,
his farm took in the beach sands and
pebbles , and the roar of the ocean
was their perpetual music. I found
aunt Lucy grown older , and seeming
much feebler than when she told mo
her story in the low chamber on Ant-
ler street. But she brightened up
wonderfully on seeing her visitors ,
and walked with us along the shore
and clear out to "Spouting Horn , "
where she looked into the chasm and
told stories of the height to which tho
water would spurt into the air during
a troubled sea at high tide.
I grew quite nervous oyer the
storie3 and the appearance of tho
rocky gorge , and needed to sit awhile
on the sands and look over the limit
less and peaceful blue to restore my
usual equanimity. Aunt Lucy sat
down with me , while Arthur and Ret
gina , not yet over their lovers' ways'
walked hither and thither , hand in
hand , as happy as two children.
While wo looked out upon the sea ,
aunt Lucy said , gently , "I am going
to see my captain soon. "
"Do you feel more unwell than
usual ? " I asked.
. "Not really sick , but weak and
tired. I have not walked to 'Spout
ing Horn' before this summer. And
it is time for me to go. I am more
than eighty now. "
"You will not bo sorry , will you ,
aunt Lucy , when your captain
calls ? "
"Sorry ! I shall be glad ! gladder than
I have been since he went away. I
am fairly impatient to go. It seems
to me the bridegroom is waiting for j
me , and I know how sad it is to wait. ! I
• I want to save him that pain. " *
! ! That was all. A little signal hung
J from the eottage window in token of
I tho dinner hour , and we hurried up
tho sands. At sunset we drove home ,
all of us impressed that we had talked
with aunt Lucy for the last time this
side of the dividing flood.
A week later the bell on the church
of the Holy Cross tolled. We listened
I to its vibrant notes , which , on the
summer air , hardly seemed a knell.
> Then came thesexton along the hedge-
row , and , scarcely pausing , he spoke
tnrougti the open wuiuuw. innc
were tears in his voice , and we only
heard "aunt Lucy. "
The smile and dimples which habit
had fixed upon her iace , remained
to greet all who looked
upon her in death. As she lay
in peace before the altar , while the'
minister spoke her praises , which were
in every heart , it seemed to me that
she had enjoyed her wedlock in a high-
er and sweeter way then many real
marriages are enjoyed.
It has been a tender dream , a gra
cious memory , and for many years
since she had learned to look for-
ward and not backward a beckoning
hope ; while through all the slow pass
ages she had be n , in deed and in
truth , the bride of the church , guarded
down to gentle rest by its blessed arms ,
and in assuring hope of its divine
promises.
While the minister spoke of her
awaiting welcome from ths great cap
tain of our salvation , I almost wish
he had known her secret , for the heav-
enly thrill it would havegiven his own
heart , and the opportunity it would
have afforded to say that word so
consoling when life's chain is broken
reunion. But no lack was felt in
aunt Lucy's full world of bliss , that
nobody on earth knew , except the vis
itor at the home of the minister , that
she had lived her romance. Christian

In the Empire Days.
Galignanis Messenger.
The old inhabitants of the colony in Paris
remember when Mason was in charge of the
Legislation in France , and ifc was during his
time , perhaps , that l'ari was most in vogue
with his countrymen , and particularly with
his countrywomen. Presentations at the
Tuilleries were then sought after by the
American women , and the Emperor was
liberal as to the number. On one occasion
the American Minister had as many as fifty
of his countrywomen with him at the Tuiller
ies , forming a long line.
"When Louis Napoleon , approached , Mr.
Mason began by naming those who stood at
the head of the i > olumn , to each of whom the
Emperor bowed as her name was mentioned.
Then the 'memory of the minister failed him
and with a wave of her hand that took in the
whole line , he saifl :
"The rest are all my countrywomen , your
Majesty. "
Tho impassive fare of Louis Napoleon
showed a scarcely visible smile as he bowed
to the nodding hiads and rustling robes.and
tho presentation tvas finibhed.
Death in ChewingGum ,
An Apothecary in San Francisco Examin-
er.
I have been tempted time and again
to write to theExaminer an appeal
for its vast Influence to stop a great
evil and warn the people of this city
against allowing their children to in
dulge in the practice of swapping
chewing gum. Diphtheria is on the in
crease , especially among children , and
any physician will affirm swhat I say
that there is no surer way of propa
gating the disease than tho habit so
common among children that I speak
of. Parents should teach their chil
dren , and the Board of Education
should instruct the teachers in the
public schools to admonish the chil
dren daily upon the evil effects of it.
Just as the Northern Pacific train was
leaving Alhambra Springs Station , twenty
miles from Helena two shots were fired in a
saloon near the track. The conductor jump
ed to the platform and saw one man lying
dead on the ground and another running to
ward the train with hands on his abdomen
exclaiming , "My God , I am shot. " The con
ductor caught the man as he fell , and then a
crowd started in pursuit ofa man who was

Tho celebrity of tlio turbot ns an
artielo of table luxury has long
been established and is avoII known to
' all who read. From thothncof Apicius
down to thoda3'sof our modem mansion
house banquets the proper preparation
of that class of fish has givon a causo of
anxiety to even tho greatest professors
of tho arts of cuisine , some of whom
have occasionally been found guilty of
tampering with the fins ! Muiry of my
readers have doubtless encountered in
the course of their reading , that choice
anecdote of the ecclesiastical dignitary
who , when tho opportunity presented
itself , used to pay a visit to tho kitchen
of his friends , in order to see what was
in preparation for Biich dinners as ho
was invited to partake of. On one oc
casion , while ho was residing for a few
daj's at a mansion house , where n now
woman cook had recently arrived , he
I found to his horror that she had just
1 cut ofl' the fins of a fine turbot about to
be boiled for dinner ! His lordship wns
I at first dumfounded , but quickly re-
J I covering his presence of mind , he hade
j j the woman hasten and procure a needle
' and thread , and with his own dainty
' ' episcopal fingers , this great man of the
j ' church sewed the fins on the fish , being
1 doubtless rewarded at tabic with a
1 liberal helping at table.

How the EEotiNC KHrH Winter.
I
Sonic one has asked , where do Hies go
j in the winter ? This is n question of
some interest , for a. house fly is born
fully grown and of mature size , and
l there aro no little ilies of the same spe-
• cies , tho small ones occasionally ob-
1 served being different in kind from tho
largo ones. The house fly does not bito
or pierce the skin , but gathers its food
by a comb or rake or brush-like tongue ,
1 with which it is able to scrape the var-
1 nish from cover. * of books , and it thus
1 tickles the skin of persons upon whom
j it alights to feed upon the perspiration.
j A fly is a scavenger and is a vehicle by
j which contagious diseases are spread. It
! poisons wounds and may cany deadly
virus from decaj'ing organic matter into
food. Tt retires from tho sight at the
beginning of winter , but where it goes
few persons know. If a search of the
j house be made the3r ivill ho found in
1 great numbers secreted in warm places
, in the" roof or between tho partitions or
floors. Last winter we had occasion to
examine n roof and found around tho
chimnej' mj'rinds of flies hibernating
comfortably and sufficiently lively to fly
when disturbed "in overpowering
clouds. " No doubt this is a favorite
winter resort for these creatures.
A Hit of > cofeli Fiiii ,
A noted wag named Jamie Graham ,
whose visits to the barber were few and
far between , was met by a learned doctor
who loved a joke , and frequently ex
changed hits with tho wag. On thia
particular day the wind " was high and \
Jamie's tangled locks were flying in the ;
wind. "Man , Jamie , " said the doctor , j
as the pair met , "I wonder ye don't get j I
your hair cut. I wadna gang wi' hair i 1
liko that for all the world. " "Ye'll j
never get the chance , doctor , " replied I
Jamie , "for yer heid canna grow as j
mnckle as wad male' a heepsake for !
3'er sweetheart. " "Wecl , weel , " ro-
plied the doctor , "it's an an Id saj'ing , ye
ken , that them wha maun bo weel clad
canna aye be weel fed. " "Ah , butyo
mind me o' anither sa3'ing , " replied
Jamie. "It's nae use puttin' thatches
on an empt3' barn. "
A Carrier of IIxrn e.
The state analyst of New Jerse3' , in a
recent trial when called upon to take an
oath as witness , avoided kissing tho
Bible on the ground that he might con
tract disease by so doing , saying : "So
man3' different persons have kissed that
book that I do not think it safe to touch
my lips to it. The court held that the
witness must kiss the book and he re-
luctantl3' did so. This seems like a
trifling matter and 3et it might be a
serious one. The danger of contracting
disease in this way is not imaginar3 %
And right here we would like to add
that equals dangerous is the custom of
miscellaneous kissing. We see this
illustrated most forcibly where terrible
diseases have "been transferred to child
ren b3 a simple kiss. Too much kissing
and too promiscuous kissing , especially
among grown people and children ,
should not be allowed. It is a pernici
ous habit and should , to a great extent ,
be done away with.

The Avidow of Michal Balfe , the com
poser , died on the 8th inst. , at the ad
vanced age of SO. Mrs. Balfe , whose
maiden name was Lina Bosen , was a |
Hungarian by birth , and before her
marriage achieved a considerable repu
tation as an operatic singer , no less re
markable for her vocal and dramatic
powers than for her great personal beau
ty. It was while fulfilling a profession
al engagement at Bergamo , in the 3ear
1S30 , that she became acquainted with
Mr. Balfe , who was at that time "on
tour * ' in northern Italy , as leading bari
tone of a traveling opera compan3r , and
whose wife she became a few weeks after .
the dale of their first meeting. The
union of these gifted musicians proved
a singular * happjr one. The deceased |
lady bore her husband three children , |
one son and two daughters , but Mme.
Balfe survived them all.
Lucky John Harrington.
Houglitoc ( Mich. ) Mining Gazette , June II.
Last Monday afternoon the Gazette j
reporter met Mr. John Harrington , tho
gentleman that was so lucky in the Ma3'
drawing of the Louisiana State Lotter3 * .
Like the substantial , matter-of-fact man
that he is , he continues in his old posi
tion as engineer at the Atlantic Mining
company's stamp mill , not having taken
a single da3r from his duties to celebrate
his good fortune. His ticket , which was
one-tenth of No. 21,492 , the one that
drew the second capital prize of SdO,000.
was the second that he had bought in
the Louisiana State Lottery. He has
therefore sent that institution but $2.
His prize of 65,000 was collect
ed for him 03 * the National Bank of
Houghton as soon after the drawing as I
the necessaiy correspondence could be !
completed. The monejwas promptly ,
invested 113him in stock of the Calumet
< v Hecla Mining companybimng twen-
T3shares at § 212 each. From the divi
dend of So per share , pnj-able Jury 6 ,
which this compauy's unparalleled de
posits of copper have enabled it to earn
in spite of its recent losses b3 * fire , Mr 1
Harrington will receive the snug sum of
$100. This is the income of his mone3"
during the first month of hia possession
of it. He has lived in the Lake Su
perior copper district tweut3five 3'ears ,
twelve of which have been spent at the
Atlantic stamp mill. Two of his sons
are employed in the mill with their
father.

of the Queen CU3 * in tho matter of ex
