My dear, if you have time (liia evening to sit down a bii, I'll mil you. Why, I wouldn't put a young lady like you there (or nothing; not that I'm a believer in the supernatural, but all the strange things that have happen ed since I first took this house, eighteen years ago, have taken place iu No. 21. Strange, isn't it ; but tt-Hgie people all seem to enjoy pleasant things around them, and it's a pretty room, with the large windows and the view up Eagle street and the hills beyond. Well, as to the history, 1 had been here four or live years when thetirst event look place. One day a car riage drove up, and a nice-looking gentleman and lady stepped out and came into the. home. He said he wanted a nice place to keep his wife, and a friend had recommended my bouse as the pleasantest place bo knew, so cosy and home-like.' That's what they all say, Mies Cray. So I showed him the vacant rooms, but be wouldn't hear to anything but No. 21, although there was a couple of gents in it then. Rut they said they'd as lief take a third floor rear, seeing that they were gone all day and only wanted a good sleeping-place. So Mr. and Mrs. Morton, the new folks, settled themselves in there. He might have been anywhere from 25 to 35, yon couldn't tell; a dark, tine looking man, but with a look iu bis face that I never liked, uot from the first. She was a little thing, near your height, Miss Gray, with a childlike face and such pretty, gentle ways that everybody took to her; even the day boarders noticed her. She had lived in the country, she said, and had been married only three days when she came there. She had married against her parents wishes, but. she thought their objec tions to Mr. Morton were foolish. And it was plain to see that what ever others thought of him, iu her eyes he was perfect. She fluttered around him, and petted him and waited on him, and looked her love so plain that it couldn't be mistaken, and at first he couldn't do enough for her, but it began to wane-in a few months, and alter a while she was positively neglected. Among the boarders that took such an interest in her was the guest in No. 3G, second floor, rear. He was tho strangest creature I ever saw a face as wrinkled aud pale as if he were (50, aud such young, eager eyes and mouth looked as if he was just burnt up with some passion, I don't know what. He was lame, too, a little, weakly fellow, and kept books somewhere. But I never saw I anything like the way thoso restless, burning eyes of Ih'r would follow Mrs. Morton, and her husband when he was there. 'Poor fellow 1' tho't I, 'he's just the kind to go and fall in. love with her, and break his heart about her. I'll give him a little talking to.' And I did, in a sort of roundabout way ; but he just waved his hand and said my trouble was unnecessary. Then he seemed to take it back, for be came and asked me all about her, and when she was married, and I told him all I knew ; and after that he only seemed to take a friendly notice, of her, though he still watched her. Mr. Morton waH away more and more as the fall advanced, and she began to seem low-spirited, as I suppose was natural. She would come up to my room-sometimes and sit with her bit of work in her little hand, puzzling about something, and never taking a stitch, and I used to step in aud sit the evening with her sometimes, for she seemed so lonely. I was there once when he came home, and she started as if I'd Btruclr her when he opened the door, and looked at him so piteously that I knew he wasn't good to her. But she never complained poor thing. After that time he was gone a month, I reckon, and she was so poorly that her meals bad to be sent up a great part of the time. And young Mr. Welsh that was the book-keeper used to ask abont her every day ; about the only thing he ever did say. Well, Christmas passed and the holidays, and still there was nothing heard from Mr. Morion. Their board was back, and they had my bed-room, but. still I couldn't say a word to her. But the middle of January he came striding in one morning, as good as you please, and kissed his wife, who was in my room, and shook hands with me, and paid the board for a mouth in ad vance, and gave us Christmas pres ents all round, and then picked up his wife and said, 'Come, Pussy, let's go home ; I'm quite a stranger, you know, and I want to see you,' aud away they went off, arm in arm. It was a happy day for her, poor child ; he couldn't be tender enough to her, and they decorated the room with evergreens, and hung new pic tures he had brought her, and in the evening 1 carried them up a little supper to have by their own lire, aud he would have Hie sit down and eat with them. 'You've been good to my chirk while I was gone; I want to thank you,' says he. 'No,' says I, 'it's thanks enough to see her so happy, with your coming, she's been lonely enough without you,' and I made bold to say, 'she ueeds petting and good care now, Mr. Morton.' 'Yes,' says he, 'and I guess she gets it, don't she, sweet?' 'Oh, yes, indeed, I am very happy she says. Next morning he was gone before I kuew it, and she came into my room, happy and yet troubled. 'Men are strange things, aren't they?' she said. '1 wonder if women ever do understand their husbands; did you, Mrs. Compton? 'Oh, yes, but mine was such a plain man; he wasn't like yours,' says I; and with that she began to cry. M rs. Compton,' she says, 'something terrible is going to happen ; I feel it. I think I am going to die.' I tried to comfort her, but she sat so sad all day, and all the frilling things worried her so. That night I heard a scream from her room. I jumped up and rushed to the door. She wa3 sitting up in bod, and when she saw roe she Bald : 'Somebody was trying tokili rac, Mrs. Compton.' 'Nonsense,' said I. 'You've had a dream. Turn over and try it again.' 'Not until you come and sleep with me,' she said. I fastened my door and went back to her, and it was well I did, for when I got back she was dreadful sick, and by morning her baby was born a fine little boy, bnt it only lived an hour. Poor thing! how she grieved for it. 'My poor little boy I' she sayB, 'I can't give it up when I have longed for it so, and I shall always hear that little cry poor, poor little darling!' But she was doing nicely herself, the nurse said, aud so I told Mr. Welsh when he asked me in the hah. 'And the child?' says he. 'Died,' says I. And with that he turned and limped away. That night I called to .see Mrs. Morion aboul 9 o'clock, and she looked well and bright, and hoped her husband would come in the morning. At midnight I heard a scream, and of course I ran to No. 21. The door was half open, and a low fire burning in the grate. The nurse was standing by the bedBide, and when she saw me alio screamed again. 'What's the matter?' says 1. 'She's dead !' sayB she. You have no idea, Miss Gray, of the shock it was ! Why my knees Bhnok and ray head turned light, till I thought I should faint. But soon I went to the bed side, and sure enough there she lay, white as marhle, and dead. And when we got a light we found that she had been murdered! Do you wonder that I won't let you have that room now? It was a cut in her breast, clean through the heart, made with a long, slender, sharp knife, perhap? a dag ger like they have in the play. Well, I declare, we were all so upset that we didn't know what to do. If her husband would only come, we tho't, it would be such a relief. But, there we bad the 'quest and laid her out, and I gave orders for the funeral. I could do no less, I thought. And when the day for the funeral came, here came Mr. Morton, and he was a great deal more grieved than I thought he could be. But who ever did it was a mystery, and we couldn't even guess at any person's motive. Such a sweet, pretty little thing, and her dead body still in the house ; it was the most awful thing that I ever heard of; aud we were so bothered with policemen aud re porters and artists to photograph everything. But the funeral came off, and I never shall forget the way that Mr. Welsh glared at Mr. Morton all through it. I should have thought bis eyes would have bnrned wher ever they fell. I thought then he susnecteu Mr. Norton or having a I hand in it. But I changed my mind after a while. Within two weeks Mr. Morton was arrested for being engaged jb a bank robbery, and Mr. Welsh left for California. But this you must never tell ; sit nearer so that I can talk low. A few months after this I went into a corset store on 4th street, and a young lady came to wait ou me. She looked so familiar that I asked her if I bad ever known her, aud she said, 'O no, she was a stranger in the city.' But whilt ah wai doing up ths purchase I noticed her hands, and they suddenly reminded me of Mr; Welsh ; and then I looked up at her face, and it, too, was his changed a great deal, but with his eyes and mouth. And when I reached to take the parcel she said : 'Never raiud; the boy will take it; he is going up Eagle street now.' And she wrote out ray name and address without a word from mo. And I firmly believe, and always shall, that she waB that man's real wife, and the murderess of that pretty girl. Little things that I didn't notice at the time came up to me afterwards, until I was as much convinced as that I live. Cleveland Press. Old MaldM. Although the caption is a term used by nobody of good-breediug, or with any self-respect, the words have, nevertheless, come to a stand as a reproachful title for a large class of women who shrink from all re proacha class to whom the whole class of humanity are under indebt edness as faithful elder sisters and devoted aunts and self-forgetful drudges, as nurses, as servants, as watchers with the sick, as those who lay out the dead, as comforters of the afflicted. How few families are there with out the maiden aunt among, that epitome of unselfishness, of uncom plaining effort, finding all her life in waiting on a parcel of dear tyrants, taking a mothers place, and perhaps at last receiving uot even a small share of a mother's love! And of how much is a family deprived that does not possess that invaluable article. But the maiden aunt is at hand to put down her work and help solve the distracting problem; to praise in good report to others, as mothers are ashamed to praise their own ; to teach the "piece" which is to be spoken before the assembled school, and to hear it recited first; to help, to encourage, to Bhield ; to be up in the morning and see the urchius off to school ; to sliare every triumph, to side in every quarrel; to make the path smooth as may be for the venturesome young feet the path, that alter all, she herself has not found so smooth. Perhaps to those of us who, al though uot hard of heart, yet, owing to circumstances that have shaped our ways as much as to anything else, only live in self and its indulgences, this life of self-forgetfulness seems very sad. But, to those that live it, it unusually seams to wear a bright er view. In fact, nowhere are hap pier faces seen than thoso of the majority of these maiden women. Generally, if they havo plenty of smaller, they are shielded from the greater cares, and spending their lives for others, they have the per petual gratification of seeing them selves indispensable. -Whether or not love and gratitude, in the meas ure their usefulness demands, by-and-by fail them, they have them in plenty for a time, and their expecta tions are so small that it takes but little to make them happy. Few of these single women desire marriage; most of them have had the opportunity, all of them prefer red their condition to union with one not after their own minds, and some of them are shrouded in the great grief o? widowed brides. Per haps these good women gossip, aB it is alleged, but so do the married ; perhaps, as the years pas?, some of them grow crabbed, but so again do some of the married ; perhaps their lives revolye in small orbits, but who shall 8 ay in ultimate results what is large and what is small? If they walk humbly and deal justly, who Is any better than they? And since the very instance of the general reproach of the title, in its cruel use, implies that happiness and all that is desirable and blest can be found in marriage, does it not seem that terms of pity rather than of reproach Bhould be given to those who are denied the happy, cared-for life of marriage, and who, while sharing in all its cares, share in but few of Its comforts and honors. It is announced by the Democrats that the Republicans have resolved on a sectional campaign. The hon or of originating that kind of a cam paign belongs to the Democrats. They declared their purpose to make It when they claimed the 138 elec toral votes of the South solid for their ticket, and the 75,000 bogus majority in Alabama is the first fruit of the plan. The Republicans have merely accepted the challenge to stand up once more against the infamouB principles which Wade Hampton declares are the same as those for which the South fought for four years. It is the Democratic party which has raised the sectional flag, and it is that party which is destined to go down in defeat under it. N. Y. Tribune.

No man has ever exerted a greater influence in keep ing boys aud young men in the wholesome atmosphere of vigorous and aspiring manhood than he. No man has received more heartfelt tributes from tho representative aud intellectual women of the country than the presidential candidate ol the republican party. There Is scarcely a npeech of his in which there is uot a reteronce to call up the picture of home and to fix attention upon it as a factor in solving our governmental problem. On that memorable Saturday night in June when he rose in the nation al republican convention to preseul the name of John Sherman as a presidential caudidate there wad wild tumult all about him. Facing that great crowd of 15,000 excited people, his first words were not of candidates. Dwelling a moment on the extraordinary scene before him, he said : "Not here iu this brilliant circle, where 15,000 men and women are assembled, is the destiuy of the re publican party to be decreed. Not here where I see the enthusiastic faces of 75(5 delegates waiting to cast their voles into the urn and deter mine the choice of the republic; but by 4,000,000 republican firesides, where the thoughtful voters, with wives and children about them, with the calm thoughts inspired by love ot home aud love of country ; with the history of the past, the hopes of the future, and the knowledge ot the great mon who have adorned and blessed our nation in days gone by there, God prepares tho verdict that shall determine the wisdom of our work to-uight." Garfield looked beyond the dele gates to the homes of .earnest Re publicans. He kuew that in those homes were womeu as much inter ested iu the success of the republi can party as the men who had fought itB battles, and be turned the thoughts of the convention toward that love of home aud country that has made the people of the great republican states the bulwark of the nation. The question is to bo dotermiued at the fireside and by the thoughtful voters. There is in the career aud character of Garfield everything to appeal to the family. Some of the ardent woman suffragists propose to use their influence to defeat him, but they cau hardly make headway iu the homes of the laud. The mother, marking out a path iu life for her son, can point to the repub lican candidate for president as a model and as a Iiviur example of the possibilities of American boy hood. There is nothing in Garfield's open life to excite a women's dis trust or suspicion. He is absolutely clear of the vices that pure women abhor, and no man has been a more constant friend to women than he, and no man has spoken warmer or more eloquent words in the cause of women. During his career in congress his attitude toward women has been characterized by such a kindly courtesy as to call out un Btinted praise even from pungent writers like Mary Clemmer, and in every movement looking to the bet ter education and wider usefulness of womeu, Garfield ha been a 1 eader. None knew this so well as those women who, while in sympathy with him politically, have found an under-current of seutiment in his speeches shading hi most effective arguments with the warmth of per sonal appeal, and who, because of this, have been led to study bis pur poses and appreciate his motives. There is no danger that such women will not in their own way do thoir utmost for Gen. Garfield. The sons of such womeu honoring their mothers as a part of their worship of meu like Garfield will not need the urging of the veterans to do their full duty in November. There is work for all to do. The leaders and the leaders of leaders are preparing to do their best. It will be a memorable campaign in the field aud should be as memora ble for the influences that aro ex erted through home life. It has been said that the nomina tion of Garfield at Chicago was "the most perfect instance of the resist less strength of a man developed by all the best and purest impulses, forces, and influences of American institutions, becoming their most thorough and ablest embodiment iu organic and personal activity, aspi rations and character." But when the result had been reached Garfield thought most of his party. In responding to the speech of Senator Hoar, announcing bis nomination, Garfield said: "I have fell with you great solicitude concerning the situation of our par ty during the struggle ; but, believ ing that you are correct iu assuring me that substantial unity has been reached in the conclusion, it gives me gratification far greater thau any personal pleasure your announce ment can bring." Because the nomination came to him as it did, aud because he ac cepted it iu the spirit indicated above, he has been enabled to exer cise a great influence on the party. This influence, extending beyond the ordinary party lines to the "four million firesides," becomes a curious element iu the canvass, which will show in result in November. Exlruiporiiarou l'fC(raB(c. We see that at the school com mencement a favorite nel6ction i Ingeraoll's "The past rises before me like a dream." It In credited to his addresH to the soldiers at In dianapolis. The first time he de livered it wa in this city at the unveiling of the soldiers'mouuraent, several years before the celebration at Indianapolis was thought of. It was recognized thon as a very floe eflbrt, but the celebration was a local uffair, and, although it was re ported in the papers here and the speech giyen pretty fully, it attract ed no special attention and in a short time was forgotten. When he delivered it in Indianapolis some of the Peoria people thought they recognized their old friend, and they went to the files of the papera, aud there, sure enough, was " The pat 1-Ucn before mo Iiko a dream" iu pretty much of its old coloring. He had brushed it up some, trimmed it down and mado some verbal chang es; but to all intents and purposes it was the same speech. Those who listened to him in Indianapolis thought it was the sudden inspira tion of the moment. The fact of it is, the inspiration of the moment it quite as likely to make a fool of a man as it is to put him on his met tle. A man does his best work when he has the time to prepare it, and the better he prepares the better he does it as a general thing. A friend of Iugersoll in this city re lates that four years ago before he went to Cincinnati to nominate Blaino, he went into Bob's office one afternoon and found IngersoII walking the floor. As the other approached Bob turned around and said: ""Like a plumed knight he entered the lists and tore the tongue of slander from the throat of trea son." The friend did not know what he meant, but when Bob went to Cincinnati and nominated Blaine he saw that even then he was coni iug over iu his mind what he should say. Those who saw him then fan cied'that he went up in the heat of the momeut and uttered the first thiug that came into his head. The fact was that on the top of all his study, the night before, E. C. Inger soll, his brother, and It. H. Whiting iusisted that he should carefully prepare himself. He sat dowu at a table in their room iu the Burnett House. Then he wrote the speech that Is now historical, gathered up the sheets, read them over and left them. The late John T. Harper, who was present, put them In a place by themselves, intending to preserve them as a souvenir. While they were gone to the convention, however, the ubiquitous hired girl came iuto the room and " put it to right," and carried the papers away. This is about the way with all ex temporaneous speeches altho Bob is a man who needs as little prepa ration as any one. Peoria Journal. CIeH.iraBtCampaIga ftprecli A Galena special says Hon. Phil. A. Orton, in a speech to a republi can mass meeting, gave his reasons for leaving the democratic party, with which he-had acted for twenty years. Ho introduced Gen. Grant, who, alluding to Judge Orton' speech, spoke a9 follows: "I did not intend to speak when I came here to-night. I am very much like Judge Orton ; I have never made a republican speech in my life, or any kind of a political speegh". I am dure it would require some time and much preparation to make one of any length. I can of course go a little further than Judge Orton, and say that I never voted a republican presidential ticket in my life, aud but one democratic ticket, and that was many years ago, when I was quite a young man ; but I pledge you ray word that if I am spared, although I shall be at some distance from you, on the second of Novem ber I shall return to Galena to cast one republican vote for preaideut of the United States, and I hope the city of Galena will cast a round re publican vote, such as it has never cast before." "My umbrella is getting decidedly shabby," said a young man about town one eyening last week. "I believe I will have to strike another prayer-meeting the first rainy night."
