T&E TALISMAN AND THE LEECH,
A FKAQMHNT.
It' was a lovely lady that on her sick-bed lay;
It was her lordly lover spurred for the leech
, .away.
amc
itoei upon the highway, crouched en the
com nara sione.
A withered white-haired beggar that made for
alms her moan.
The lordly lover cast her bis purse from saddle-bow.
"My love is lying dying, and for the leech I go.
In yonder burg physicians a many are, I trow:
would that the skillfulcst of all among them
I could know!"
Take this;" the crone, upstarting, placed oa
his hand a Tins'
Of dull and tarnished copper, a mean and bat
tered thing.
"Wear this, and when thou ridest p to ttw
leech's door.
See for thyself what company of guests doth
stand before."
And before the knight could thank her aha
vanished quite away.
And there was naught but a wee brown bird
sitting upon the spray;
And the light-hearted lover onward he spurred
his courser s-rav.
And kissed the battered talisman, and blessed
. the Jtindly fay.
TTp the ringing street he darted to the chief
i physician's iJ cor
nea ven! what ghastly compaay was standing
it before!
The souls of all the slain wen there, ten
thousand souls, I trow.
Like witch-fires in a pallid night a-wavering
to and fro.
On passed the knight to another teach, but
before the door perdie.
Was quite as ghastly if not quite so great a
company;
And up and down the burg ha rode, but
everywnere ne went.
watcnea tne
patient under
spirit of each
monument.
"Alack! doth never a leech have skill?"
bis despairing cry;
"And must the Lady Cunegund in her youth
and beauty die?
There is but one physician left, and yonder at
his door
O, heavens 1 there floats a single ghost a sin
gle ghost, no more!
"O, a blessing on the talisman and on the
kindly fay!
Here is the surgeon skilled shall charm my
lady's hurt away.
Ho! busk ye. busk ye. Master Leech, and rido
away with me.
And thou shalt save a precious life, and win
' a priceless fee."
Up sprang the good physician then behind the
gallant knight,
And swiftly up the sounding road clattered
the courser wight;
And merrily the knight he sang and shouted
in his glee,
"A blessing on the kindly fay that guided me
to thee!"
OTch"aH,iJ-?od St. Anthony, what is it
Dost thou not know. Sir Knigbt, ciiero
' goblin, neither fay?
But tell me truly, who it was to me thy steps
did tfuidi'.
For how should a poor leech be known
throughout the country-side?"
"0, trust me, trust inc. Master Leech, thy
fame spreads far and near;
On every side of thy healing skill what mira
cles we hear!
Foe though thy check doth brightly bear the
.rosy, hue of youth,
There is no doctor so renowned in all the land,
good sooth."
"Sir Knight, it ill becomes thy rank to mock a
simple man.
One who doth practice Galen's art with all the
skill he can;
But only yesterday I hung my 6hingle out at
door.
And I have had but a single call one patient,
.and no more."
"Now by St.

Bat Cornelia was enfag.
"O, mother, dear, she sobbed, "ft
isn't true, is it? Orville did feel dread
fully. Won't you see, mother?"
But at this moment Sally, the. little
servant girl from Grandma liashleigh's,
came flying into 'the room, without any
more ..warning1 than if , she had been
hot from a 'gun.
"The old missus says you are to come
over at once, both you ladies!" she
cri6dV?ftading before Mrs. Rashleigh,
and repeating her lesson like a parrot:
"There's something of importance, and
vou're needed at wonat"
"Get your bonnet, Cornelia,' said
her mother. 'Til just put on this sun
hat What is it, Sally; do you know?"
"I know it's something dreadful.
Missus is almost wild, and there's lots
of folks there. Something about Mr.
Spear.-"
The two ladies said no more. They
hurried away together, and, entering
grandma's parlor, found there assem
bled more of the members of the Spear
family,, and a friend or two besides.
Orville had', indeed, disappeared. He
had never been home since his visit to
Cornelia, and now the alarmed rela
tives were anxious to get all theinfor
mation they could regarding the inter
view between Orville and Cornelia.
"I had reason to be anerry, Mrs.
Spear," said Cornelia, proudly; "good
reason, and I took oft' my ring aud gave
it back and went out of the room. That
is all I know. I don't know when he
went or where. 1 I thought he
woudn't mind so much. I believed he
had stopped caring about me."
"He ought to now, at all events,"
said grandma.
"Mv bov is dead. I'm sure. I shall

said Mrs.

his money at home. Ha wouldn't have
crone traveline- without a change of
J clothes. O, you wicked girl!"
"I hope," cried the eldest Miss Spear,
"that he'll haunt you!"
"I could kill you, you hateful thing!"
cried the youngest Miss Spear.
Cornelia had kept up bravely until
now; but when her two friends turned
upon her thus, she gave a little scream
and fell over on the sofa. She was in
a dead swoon, and the water they
sprinkled in her face did not bring
her to.
Grandma grew frightened.
"1 houe it isn't an attack of

looks as if she were dead.
"O, don't say that," cried the mother.

"O! oh!" moaned the mother.
"O! oh!" moaned the sistore
And Cornelia's head fell back again.
"Emma, ret the lavender out of the
china-closet," said grandma to her
daughter. "Quick! it's on the corner
shelf"
Mrs. Kashleigh rushed to the closet
"It won't open," she cried wildly.
"It's a patent lock," said grand
ma; "locks as it shuts. Here's the
key."
And Mrs. Kashleigh flew back to
the door, opened it and uttered a
shriek.
There on the floor, huddled up un
der the shelf, lay poor Orvillo Spear.
He was white and limp.
Cornelia sat and stared at him in the
most awful way. She thought him dead.
"Never while Hive," said Miss Rash. ut tue more experienced matron saw
leigh, "never while I live, will I seb that he was yet living.
oaiiy was sent pose naste.ior tne doc
tor; and there, in Mrs. Rashleigh's
drawing-room, he found Cornelia and
Orville lying quite unconscious, like
Romeo and Juliet in the scene at the
tomb, and the rest of the partv in a
state of bewilderment and terror past
description.
At last however, both were conscious
and seated in arm-chairs, regarded each
other, while the observers kept silence,
and Mr. Orville Spear uttered the first
words.
"Of all the confounded fools '
Who, dear?" asked his mother.
"Me," said Orville, regardless of
grammar. "Who shut me in?"
"What were j'ou in the closet for?"
asked grandma, with a guilty con
science. "To pick something up that rolled
there," said Orville.
"The ring?" asked Cornelia, frantic-
cally.
"Yes, the ring," said Mr. Spear.
"More fool I! Some one banged the door
to. I shouted aud howled and kicked,
and no one heard me."
"O. oh, oh, oh!" shrieked Cornelia, "I
believe you hid there just to kill me,
for no other purpose than out of re
venge." "iou banged the door on me," said
Mr Spear. "A jealous woman will do
anything."
"I banged the door, Orville!" said,
old Mrs. Kashleigh. "I! You'd left
everything flying. I just pushed it as I1
your face again!
She meant it when she said it; and as
she spoke, she threw her bethrothal
ring towards her lover, who had offended
her.
It mi5il him and rolled down upon
the floor and over the sill of an open
china closet one of those old-fashioned
closets that used to stand on either side
of the mantel-piece.
She did not notice where it rolled; lie
did though; and after she had left the
room, he turned to pick it up. The ring
she had worn would always be precious
to him.
Miss Kashleigh went straight to her
own room, as miserable a girl as ever
lived, and a moment later Grandmother
Kashleigh bustled into the drawing
room, pushed the open closet door to,
picked up the fallen magazine, set the
annuals and books of poetry straight
on the table, pulled down the shades,
arranged the chairs mathematically
against the wall, and bustled out again.
"I've had these things fifty vears "
she said to herself, "and ther's Cornelia
and her beau with no more respect for
mem man 11 iney were so much lum
ber." Then she closed the door behind her,
and went away to her own room up
stairs, where a'fine silk patchwork quilt
was in the frame, a surprise for said
Cornelia.
Grandma Ras Weigh gave every young
person of the family something of her
own manufacture on his or her weddinsr
day.
"Now," the old lady had said a dozen
times to Tripheny King, who was help
ing her; "I rather think Cornelia will
have the best thing I've done; and
there's a bit in it of every handsome
silk there's ever been in the family, and
of her father's and grandfather's wed
ding vests."
Yes'm, its real memorial quilt"
said Tripheny. "It takes you, mum,
to plan such things. "
The quilt was finished and bound
that afternoon, and Tripheny's joy of
quilting being over she went home.
But she carried about the village the
news that she "was sure all was over
between Miss Kashleigh and Mr. Spear.
She'd heard Cornelia saying something
to her grandma, and the old lady was
furious."
"He would never have done that if
he had cared for me, you know, grand
ma," Cornelia was saying at that mo
ment. "Stuff and nonsense! He loves the
ground you walk on!" saidthe oldlady.
"You'll never get such another, Cornelia!"

your worldly wisdom wouldn't knock
an owl off his perch. Suppose you
make a resolve to begin the year 1884
by not knowing more than half as much
as Plato, Diogenes and otherwise men.
If you should condescend to admit that
you didn't even know more tnan your
own father, it wouldn't greatly affect
your general standing with the world.
Perhaps you smoke and chew. What
for? What's the use of paying out $100
a year to insure bad breath, headaches,
red eyes, decayed teeth and nervous de
bility, when you can secure a broken
leg, which is far nicer, by a tumble
down stairs? Chewing is a vicious,
nasty habit. Smoking affects the brain
and nerves and stomach. We admit
that a young chap of your age look
like a great statesman when he comes
down the avenue puffing away at a five

like anybody but yourself?
Maybe you drink a little; very prob
ably you do. A young man of your
age is apt to think it smart to guzSle
down lager and tipple wine, but tftere s

would caution you against the practice.
Drink not only wastes money, but it
severs friendships, breeds anger, brings
about quarrels, and there is no end to
the train of wretchedness it entails.,
Yes, great lawyers, statesmen, poeta,'
and pnilosophers drink, but they lose;

their epitaphs with sneers. Don't make
a persimmon of yourself because some

hope you got such a skinning as will
last you your life-time. Let gambling
alone. Fight as shy of gambling rooms
as you would of a mad dog. People
tell you about luck, JLhats all bosh.
The gambler has you by the throat the
moment you enter his door. You can't
make any money out of him, but he will
see to it that you add to his capital.
Now, as to your personal traits. You

egotism, but keep it in check. "The

Three days passed. At the end of

est secret of her life was her age, and
this she never told any one, always

As long as Mr. Samuel M. Cortright
was a resident of Mauch Chunk ho glad
dened tne Heart of every poor child in
that town by presenting it every
Christmas with gifts in some shape or
other, and for years his mode of observ
ing Christmas' was the feature of the
day. Now that Mr. Cortright is a oiti
zen of Allentown, he dispenses his
favors to the children of this city, and
the thousands of gifts he distributed
yesterday have added to his fame as
the children's friend. On Monday be
announced that at two o'clock on Tues
day he would distribute 4,000 presents
to 4,000 poor children and invitedjthem
to call around at that hour. Lcn'g be
jfore the appointed time the children
.were on hand, as well as grown per
jsons, who came with the expectation of
jseeing iun, ana tney were not disap
pointed. To lend to the interest of the
occasion Mr. Cortright engaged the
Allentown Band, and the music at
tracted others who would otherwise not
have graced the ooc&sion. At two
o'clock the fun began. Instead of
4,000 poor children being on hand there
were about 400, the town not being able
to raise the hrst number. It is strongly
hinted that many of those who did as
pembletwere not very poor, but wfyb;
pnaraciensiic n Derail ty Mr. Cortright
did not draw the line between the poor
land those better off. The snow, which
fell thick and fast did not appear to
dampen the ardor of the boys, though
some of the younger ones were nearly
snowed under. At first the children
passed by tho windows two by two and
received their presents, but soon this
system was broken up, and then the
presents were pitched out the windows.
This caused a great deal of scrambling
and afforded tne four hundred specta
tors any amount of fan. The gifts con
sisted of portfolio slates, scrap books,
dolls of all sizes and nationalities, nig
ger babies, savings banks, tops, balls,
whips, popguns, tin horns, express
wagons and toys of all kinds and de
scriptions. The fun was kept up for
about two hours. Some of the more
successful grabbers succeeded in get
ting eight or ten toys. The children,
as a rule, all fared well, and in their
estimation Mr. Cortright is the prince
of good fellows. Allentown (Pa.)
