MPi. CRAMTEXT'S NEW COAT.
It was the second rinjj of the door
bell. Ellen, the "help,'' wa; lmsy jet
tinr breakfast, to which Mrs. Cratntext
had gone d-iwn to jriw the liuishin;
touches, so. puttinr aside my book, I
went down to the door in person.
"The Reverend Mr. Cramtext, I pre
sume," said a melancholy looking youth,
raising a verv high hat. .-wathed in a
deep weed.
1 bowed assentingly.
"May I have the favor of a few words
with on?" he a.-k. d. pensively.
1 was about to request him to say
them at once. and. besides, to make
them as fe.v as po-.-ibl.: for, though
l-'orcas i- a model m Ulster's wife -the
adjective, if it b o:ie, is meant for the
wife, and uot the m'ni-ter she has her
housewifely vanitie- as well as another,
aud they're juite as easily wounded,
too: so I knew, if 1 w anted the morning
coliee sweetened with her smile, I
nnisn't spoil it by keeping .1 waiting.
Hut the voting man's manner was ex
ceedingly sad. and hi heart seemed too
over-burdened to be unloaded in a mo
ment: hence, at the risk of Dorcas's
displeasure, 1 invited him into the
study.
"What can I do for you. my youug
friend?'" I inquired, inviting him lirst
to be seated.
l!enositiur a neatlv folded parcel on i
the lloor. he took out bis handkerchief
and applied it to h's eyes. For some
seconds his frame shook with omot'on.
Then wiping hi- eye- hard, he recovered
himself with an effort.
"M' poor father "" he b.gan.
Again the handkerchief went up and
the voice went down.
aim yours-'lf."' I said, soothingly,
aiding the customary text in relation to
"our light allliclioris, which are but for
a moment."'
My pot.r father," he resumed, se-m-ingly
a littb comforted, "died a week
ago." Hi- labors in the vineyard "
"Was he in the wine busings-?"' I in
terrupted, my Temperance principles
taking the alarm.
"He was a clergyman." replied the
youth. r proachiulh . "whose labor.-had
so exhausted his health that his phy.-i-cian
declared th o-ily hope lay in a
change of air, to obtain htch he was
traveling, with me as his cmpan"o:i,
hen -uddenly he grew so much worse
that we were fore d to -top. and in a
brief space death put a period to a use
ful and blameless life, and deprived an
unhappy son of the best of fathers.
" I lie money we lmd with us little
more than su i ced to pav the medical
bill- and fun -nil charges: and I am
now thus far on my way to carry lo my
bereaved mother the sad tidings of our
mutual loss, without the means of pro
ceeding further.
I have not come to solicit charity.''
he hastened to add. "I have in this
parcel" opening it, and unfolding a
new broadcloth coat of mini-terial regu
lation cut "an article belonging to
my late father which I would gladly
dispose of even at a sacrifice: and it be
ing sutable only for a clergyman I ven
ture to oiler it to you.'"
1 happened to be in need of such a
piece of apparel. Dorcas had been
hinting fo- -om-' time that mv pa-toral
usefulness would bed cidedly enhanced
by a better coat, and by close pinching
we had -aved up nearly ciioiigu to sup
ply the want.
ilad I been in n'lhf nt circiri stances,
I -hould have cln erfully rel'eved the
needs of a deceased brother clergy
man's -on grauiitously. Rut not being
in a condition to warrant such liber
ality, the best I could do would be to ac
cede to his propo-nl and purcha-e the
pio:leivd garment, piovided the terms
and lit -lilted.
Calling up Poreas. I explained the
ease. '1 he coat wa.- tried on. It lilted
beautifully in front. The -traite-t of
of our sect, could find no fault with the :
straight ne-s of the cut, and the -ingle
file of bombaine buttons, marshaled in
close orderdo- n the right breast, looked
& very phalanx of orilx doxy. Dorcas
pronounced the rear view eoualh per- j
feet. Al! it needed wa- a little "tak'ng '
in" at the left armpit, which an com-
petont person coultl do in ten minutes:
and Deacon Porritv. whose secular vo- i
., . -. ... . i
cation was mat oi a tanor caning in
just then, fully corro orated L orca-.
How much wa- the price, was the
next question.
"I think father never wore it more
than once,'" said the young man
"though it may have been twice. I'll
call it twice, to be on the safe side. It
cost twenty-five dollars: but, of course,
having been worn .-omc, there should
be a reduction."'
He hesitated. It was apparent he
feared to name a price lest it should be
too much. It was gratifying to wituess (
such scrupulous adien nee to rectitude .
under the sre temptation of want.
"Do 3"ou think twenty dollars would
be fair?" I -aid. coming to his relief.
"It is more than I should have thved ;
to ask.'" he replied: "but if ymi think it '
right, I -hall be rejoiced to 'accept it.'" '
On these terms the transaction was
concluded to our mutual sati-factiou.
The sorrowing son was provided with '
means to continue his dutiful journey,
and I had a coat, as good as new, at ,
some saving of cost. ,
Ellen rang the breakfast ball, and
Dotvas joined rhe in pre sing the stran- '
fer arjil the deacon to join u- at the ta- j
le, but both declined on the ground '
that they had alrea iy breakfasted. And
after much warm hand-shaking and a
cordial exchange of ble ;sings the former
went his way.
I had been honored shortly before
with an invitation to parti'-ipate in a
Erotracted meeting" to be held about a
undred miles away, under the aus
pices of an old college classmate. And
now that I had a decent coat to my ' and at the conclusion Constable HUer
back Dorcas insisted on my going. She will please step this way."
posses-ed a good deal of" wifely ambi- Wh"eh Constable Haler very prompt
tion, and had setherhearton tnv speedy lv did; and it was in his compauv, fol-
rise in the church to which she seemed
to thin : the only thing reqirsit- was a
more widelv dimmed knowledge of -inv
gifts.
Of course Dorcas had her way, and
everything was got in readiness for the
journey. I picked out my best sermon
and touched it up a bit here and there,
somewhat improving the rhetoric i: not
the doctrine. If it should only impress
the hearer? half as much as it" did my
self it couldn't fail of doing good.
I wanted to travel in ruyold coat, but
Dorcas wouldn't listen to it. A clergy
?-., i. . . , -- -.
man's appearance, she insisted, should.
at all times, comport with the dignity
of his calling. I could wear my mister
in the stage-coach, bit must be sure to
remove it whenever I stopped.
Had I been going as a missionary to
Timbuctoo Dorcas could scarcely have
been in a greater fidget. I shall not
risk incurring the charge of exaggera
tion by hazarding a conjecture as to the
number of times she packed, unpacked
and repacked my hand-trunk, or by di
vulging her views as to the number of
night and day shirts, white t:e- and
throat-lozenges" required for a week's
ministerial campaign. How to get
such an unlimited quantity into a limited
space was a problem solvable only by
feminine ingenuity.
I confess to a feeling of relief when
the hoor came to ki-s Dorcas good-by
anu iace my place m tne coacn.
Half an hour had elapsed, and I had
just gotten comfortably settled down "n
a corner of the back seat, when all of a
sudden I started from the revery into
which I was being gently jolted.
Wasn't I like the man who went shoot
ing and forgot his gun? Hadn't 1 left
my sermon behind? I rememb red lay
ing it out before starting, but re ollect
ed nothing further I began a hurried
search, aud couldn't help an exelama- J
Hon of relief as my hand encountered
the precious document in my inside
breast pocket.
Th journey was without incident till
the last day. which was aturday, when
suddenly we collapsed a wheel. Fortu
nately the accident occurred at the en
trance of a populous village, where the
passengers count oe mane eomionaoie
pending the repair--.
A wheelwright was -ent for, who. af
ter a careful Fi ignosis, declared that it
would take at least half-a-day to get the
vehicle on its legs. I niu-t either, then
remain where I was till Monday, or con
tinue my journey on the Sabbath, which
was against mv principle-. 1 had re
cently made the .-in of Sundav -travel-i
ing the subject of a set discourse, and
felt obliged to practice my own teach- '
ings as well for on-istency's as for con-;
science saice.
I w as inwardly deploring the neces
sity of spending the coming Sabbath in
the promiscuous soeietv of a village
ta em. when a grand looking gentle
man accosted me:
'I presume, bv vourgarb," he said.
"that you are a clergyman, and being
of that calling mvself. and conjecturing i
your aversion to proceeding on a journey !
under circumstances which may carry '
it into the Sabtiatb. permit me to tender j
vou the hospitality of mv roof till Mon
'day.'" I thankfully ::-ce;tod the oiler: and
shortly after my-elf and hand-trunk
were -nugh besto.ed in Brother and
SiMer (itt-hinggood- best room.
'1 hough an entire .-tranger to both. I
could scarcely have been more ho-pita-bly
received had l enjoyed their inti
macy for years. In the c mrse of th
evening Brother (J s'dnggood and I dis
covered that our views cunnletely har
monized on certain imj o tant questions
then actively mooted; and before the
ho ir of retiring he pressingly invited
me to oc -upy h;s pulpit on the morrow.
I s;iy no strong reason to decline; lor
though 1 had i rougiit bit a single ser
mon uith me. aud bhould be obliged to j
repeat it at the protracted meet ng. the
two plac-s were sufficiently distant to
insure that the audiences would be .
wholly dillerent. ;
isei.ir- iving oown i ,oaK out tne ser- ,
on to run it over, a- was my custom
mon
of a Saturday night. Ever- broth r
kuows that to read a sermon creditably,
one can not be too familiar with it.
At the first glance I started with sur
prise. It wasn't my sermon at all! I
mii.-t have forgotten .the latter as I had
feared, and this must be one of the dead
minister's left in his coat pocket.
1 glanced it over and found it a Well- j
compacted discourse on a popular topic.
Why not u-e it? It was an excellent
product oli and might do great good, of
which ih- world was not to lv depr ved ,
merely becau-e the author was dead, j
Besid.-s. it had fallen into my hand- as I
a sort of I'rovident'a! treasure-: rove, in )
which I felt 1 posse-sed at lea-t a
usulructuary title.
Bui I must hurry on to the poin at
which I ro-e n Mr. Gnhinggoods pul
pit next niornlngwith the newly-discovered
sermon carefully smoothed out and
neatlv depo.-i ed between the Old ar.d
New Te-tament in the big Bii le on the ,
reading desk.
I began in my best manner. By re
peated perusals 1 had so familiarized
myself with the manuscript tha-, with
the aid of an occasional prompting
glance, I was able to clothe the words
with the freshness of apparently ext-Mn-poianeous

'1 he opening sentences were rece'ved
with respectful attention; but pretty
soon queer looks began to be ex-hanged,
and one sedate-looking gentleman ac
tually winked at ano.herat the dose of
one of the best-rounded periods. The
most jiathet c passages, instead of
eliciting tears, excited smdes: and the
peroration, which was highly athetic.
was received with a broad grin, aud
more than one dainty handkerchief was
raised, not to choke back a sob, but to
stitle a titter.
I sat down indignant, aud left Broth
er Gushinggood to t ontinue the exer
cises. He did so with a brief paper, de

A'Storj of Chambord.
When I wrote respecting the Count de
Chambord and his doings, I little thought
that Paris still contained an interesting
and curious relic of his puposed king
ship, or rather a group or' relics, in the
shape of the royal carriages ordered for
the triumphal entry of the King into
Paris. Twelve of these vehicles were
ordered, but only six of them were fin
ished when the refusal of the Prince lo
accept the tri-colored ilag put an extin
guisher on the hopes of his adherents,
these six magnificent carriages have
ever since been stored away awaiting
the hour of the restoration of the mon
archy. The whole half dozen were exe
cuted in six weeks, so great was the
hurry of the Royalists, and so certain
was the advent of the King considered.
The largest and handsomest, that in
tended for Henry V. himself, is of great
size and magnificence. The four lan
terns aloue cost S7,00J. It is lined
throughout with white .satin, and tho
arms of France are emblazoned on the
ceiliug in the center of a golden sun.
The seven large windows of plate-glass
render the interior almost as visible as is
that of an open carriage All the metal
work i- in repousse silver, and thelam-mer-eloth
is fringed with gold. The
panels are painted with lieur-de-lis on a
background, and are highlv varnished.
Aect ss is obtained to this truly rmal
vehicle by a series of four steps covered
with pale blue velvet worked with fleurs-de-lis
in gold thread. The other car
riages are upholstered with pale bluo
satin figured with fieurs-de-lis in the
same c nor. These six carriages cost
52U0.0UU. They were ordered by the
Count de Dainas. who still pays tho
annual bill for their storage. " They
were to have been paid for by a com
mittee of enthusiastic Legitimist noble
men; but on the final d sj er-ion of all
hopes of restoration the Count do
Chambord very genemus'y insisted on
settling the bill bim-elf. I wonder
whatever became of the eight snow
white steeds that were to have drawn
the royal carriage? They were pur
chased, and were being tra ned to as
sume the high-steppiig. solemn gait
appropriate to horse- that have -o im
portant a mission to j erform, wht-n toe
final cata-trophe came that swept the
embryo ro.ality into the du-t. I re
member hearing about the coulrowr-y
that took place between two highly
born Legitimists who wee charged
with the purchase, respecting the col r
of the animals Plight pcrftvth
matched and very stip-rb hors - of a
pale-cream color, with silken, -ilv en
tails and manes, were offer, d Noble
man No. 1 preferred the cream-colored
hor-es. while No. -' would hear of noth
ing but white ones. Finally, the dis
pute was settled by a third party.
"Good heavens, gentlemen," h ex
claimed, "if you select cream-colored
horses to draw the King's carriage,
every street boy in Pari-, on seeing it
approach, will cry. 'Her come- the

ones were cho-cn. Where are they

Accuracy of Ilxpiv-sii'ti.
Too often it is thought that the man
ner of expies-iiig an idea is of 1 ttle con
sequence, provi ed the intended idea i
conveyed to the reader. Many a man
will .-ay impatiently: "Oh! I haven't
got time to attend to th" niceties of lan
guage. My eorre-pondeiit will know
what I mean, and that i- sufficient."
This is a mistaken rea-oning. His cor
respondent is likely to be as loo-e-"ointed
in thinking a.- he i- in writing,
and thence arise blunders and misap
prehensions innumerable. Very much
of legal expense might and would be
saved if an accurate use of language
were common among business men. At
least a third of the verbiage of legal
document-: is due to the belief once com
mon that certain set forms and phrases
were essential to the lega'ity of the in
struments. If the habit of accurate
writing in even -day Engli-h w.rdshaii
been cultivated a- a-s;duousIy as the
making of Greek and Latin transla
tions, there would have long ago been a
falling off in the business of the law
yers both in and out of court.
There is a close connection, more
over, between wrong writing ami wrong
thinking. The man who write- loosely,
thinks loosely and speaks ioosely.
Words have not lor liirn the same
meaning at one time as at another, aud
they do not convey to others, a- houses
them, the idea or impre ion that is in
his mind. Nothing is lo-t. it is saM. in
the telling of a -tory: but. like a rolling
enow ball, it grow as it progre-ses. It
not only grows but it changes its direc
tion, until the facts intended to prove
one thing are made to prove another
and contrary thing.
Complaints are numerous again.-t
newspaper writers for their carelessness
in handling both facts and opinions.
Doubtless there is much that is lacking
in even the best elited journals of
th" day: but the remedy mu-t come
from the people and not from the press.
Journalists are merely those who have
a ta-te and capacity for news-gettiug.
Nowadays it is by its news that a paper
is judged, and not by its fine literary
qualitv. The literary talent of a good
reporter may develop him into a writing
editor, but he can be a journalistic suc
ce without it. A daily new-paper
-ell- its news, but ordinarily give away
it- opinions. When therefore, the em
Ino journalist leaves hi- -ehool. hiirh
school or college with a perfect com
mand of Euglisa. having the other re
quisites of success innate, he will deal
with facts truthfully and will express
hi- opinions accurately. Manifestly,
however, it is the methods of education
and their bent that must be changed
