LETTERS OF EXPLANATION.
They were brought about in this
way. There .had been a .regatta on the
Schuylkill, . at Philadelphia. Mn
Charles -Graydon, a resident, had been
presented to" Miss Thurlow. a visitor.
They talked of boats and rivers, and
thence drifted to the ocean and steam
ers. Said Miss Thurlow: "Sometimes I
fancy I should like to be a sailor a
real professional sailor, I mean. I'd
like tc command an ocean steamer, to
cross and recross the Atlantic half-dozen
'times ayear.
Yes. Mr. Gravdon had crossed the
Atlantic several times, and ill
enjoyed his trips abroad thorockl. He
had 'formed pleasant acquaint seson
steamers, 'which developed afterward
into close friendships. He had been
deceived, too. by outward appearances.
"I remember several years ao." he
said. "I was going over "on the Cunard
line. There was on board a voting
f-cTergrvmanwhom everv onelikedl We
became 'very1 friendly, and spent many
a half-hour walking "the deck together.
Just before we reached Queenstown. he
said tojne: 'Gravdon, 1 findmvself a
little embarrassed. I haven't asmnch
money left as I need. Would vou lend
Tne fifty dollars till we reach London?
ni pay you there. I hate to ask you,
butlaaLreally in need of it.' I natu
rally understood his delicacy.and so made
light- of the matter, replying merely:
'certainly, Waldron, I am only too glad
to be of service to you and I
.handed him the sum he asked for. We
parted at Queenstown to meet in Lon
don; but do you know. I have never
'heard from my young clergyman since.
He wore his cloak very wefiT"
.A. bright color was in Miss Thurlow's
cheeks as she asked: "What did-you
sav his name was?'
""He called himself Theodore Wal-.
droh, although I doubt whether that
was"-his real name.'
Miss Thurlow's brow contracted and
Jier eyes flashed, but she said, calmly:
'There must be some mistake. Surely
a ciersrvman could not be guiltv of
such an act. Tell me, when did this
happen?"
"In July, 186S. I have not bean over
since.'"
After leaving Miss Thurlow, Mr.
Graydon wondered why it was that she
grew so suddenly cool in her manner
toward him. "She must be a clergy
man's daughter." thought he, and the
-matterpassed-from his-mind.
These are the letters that .ensned.
The first was received by Mr. Graydon
some ten davs after the regatta:
"Chicago. September 15, 1573.
-Mr. Charles Gravdon. Philadelphia:
"Sir: My sister. Miss Thurlow. has
relatedto me in detail her conversation
with you in Philadelphia-on the occasion
of her meeting you at a regatta. While
I deplore her misfortune in having pre
sented to her notice a man so unprinci

Among the presents displaved at the
wedding of Bev. Theodore Waldron and
Miss Thurlow was one which attracted
no little attention an ingenious Swiss
clock, so constructed that, on striking,
a figure representing Charity stepped
form and drew a veil over the hour that
had just passed. On a card lying near
it was written: "With the best wishes of
Charles Graydon." Lieut. E. IT. Stur

A Story sf Jnd?e Pslaad.
Here is
a good, storv
about Judge
Poland, of
Vermont,
who turns up m
Congress after having been in obscurity
since he was snowed under in 1874. The
Judge wears now the same old swallow
tail coat with brass buttons that warmed
him ten years ago. When is he so dressed,
with his white hair and smoothlv-shaven
face, he bears a certain resemblance to
the picture of George Washington.
The Judge is very proud of this, and his
friends know it. Well, one day he had
a parry of Vermonters at th"e White
House and happened to be in the east
room, which was completely shaded by
the heavy curtains. A comfortable
looking Cjuaker, with his wife and two
children, entered the farther end in their
sight-seeing rounds- In a corner near
the Judge stood a full-length picture
frame leaning against the walL "Get
behind that frame.' said one of his
party, "and we'll tell these people that
it's a picture of Washington. The
Judge stepped briskly into place. Slowly
the Quaker and his" brood came down
the great room, he pointing out the
pictures on the-walL" -"What's that?'
he demanded, pointing toward the
Judge." "That's Washington," he
was answered- "Do not go near. The
painting is just finished, and mustjiot
be touched." The Judge stood impas
sive in the shadow, gazing pensively
out on the group halted a. dozen fee't
away. At length the honest visitor
found voice. Turning slowly to his
wife, he said: "Wife, we always thought
well of George Washington, but that is
all over. We are temperance people;
just look at that noeeP'and he pointed
toward the most marked feature of
Poland's face, gathered up his family,
and sorrowfully marched away. The
Vermonters restrained themselves for a
moment, then gave wav. and onlv
Lrealized what.they were doing by .the
Judge sgrum words: "hat are you
fools laughing at? The story was
told, and the next day Fernando "Wood
alluded to it "in Poland's presence, but
the latter's expression then has deterred
his friends from mentioning it in his
presence- It is noticed, however, that
since then the Judge very seldom al
ludes to his likeness to the" father of his
country." Washington Cor. Troy Times.
The Fessale Xaaaeiar Editsr.
When a very mad man rushes into the
St. Louis Chronicle office with a elub, and
expresses in emotional tones an ambition
to annihilate somebody, he is politely
referred to Miss Fannv Bagbv, the man-
j aging editor. It is not hard to imagine
rtne "sensation ofa-nersonrfrothin'ratthe
mouth and thirsting for a human life,
upon being introduced into the presence
of a shy young girl, whose fair cheeks
"reek with timid' blushes and in whose
startled eyes; comes" the look of a fright
ened" fawn. The murderous man col
lapses into a chair, and his hideous
Weapon of death falls to the floor. The
man thinks himself a brute to have thus
boisterouslv thrust himself into the
presence of a shrinking woman, and he
oegins to stutter out apologies, while the
peauoiui youmr eaitor continues blush
ing and trembling in a.delirium,of dis
may. Yet in reality she is no coward.
.Emergencies have arisen in which -this
fair journalist has demonstrated her
pluck and agilitv. It is to her credit
that she never goes armed, and she will
