A GAL Y I RTTOIEN -0 Geo-ge Somerville was a poor struggling attorney of a western town, and yet his poverty was not caused by any lack of legal ability. On the contrary, few attorneys could badger a stubborn witness or cajole an ignorant jury as well as he. But*he had one great fault, and a multitude of other little irregulari ties followed in its train-George was fond of the bottle. This degrad ing vice, naturally enough, kept him out of clients, and kept Mrs. S. out of pocket money, and other lit tle necessaries so essential to. the mother of a few urchins with which Providence blessed her. One eveiing Mrs. S. came into the office with a very long and wry expression of countenance. "Mr. Somerville, are you aware that we are on the verge of ruin?" "Goodness! madam, you astonish me!" "Astonish you! I declare yon take it very easy, sir. You should be ashamed to acknowledge that your wife knows the state of your affairs better than yourself." "So madam we are on the verge of ruin?" "Exactly, sir." "Well, madam, what then?" "I declare, sir you'd annoy a saint, with your provoking coolness. How can you talk thus of a matter of life and death. Have you no way of extricating us from the per il in which we are placed? If you have not, then I tell you that you will not have a roof over your head this day month. The importunities of your creditors are growing so threatening that I can no longer stave off the fatal moment. All credit is exhausted. I repeat, sir, something must be done." I quite agree with you, mad am; but the question-what is to be done?" "I will leave you leisure to solve that problem, sir," said Mrs. S., slamming the door after her, leaving her worthy lord and master a perfect picture of helpless absurdity. George was a terror to everybody he met. He could tyrannize over his own superiors in the Law Courts. All who had dealings *lth him felt uneasy in his pres ence, as if they feared the wither ing sarcasm of his tongue. But there was one person on this planet who wasn't one jot afraid of the law yer, and that person was his wife. We left him sitting alone in his office, as we shall call it, for busi ness, of any consequence he had none. Something must be done," said he to himself, with strong em phasis on the "must," but the tan tilizing question would again pres ent itself-"What in the name of all that's wonderful can be done?" "Ha !" After that exclamation came a long, and ,to judge from his coun tenance, painful chain of thought. At last he started up excitedly. "Yes, I will do it." Without one moment's hesitation he opcned a private bureau, and took out a beautiful smoking-cap with a gold band-a very remark able cap indeed-and, placing it on his head, surveyed himself in the glass. A cold smile dawned on his face. Perhaps it was an un meaning, Cassius-like smile that might as well have been a scowl. Ah ! George, if the countenance is an index to the thoughts, some qualm of conscience had nearly shaken your purpose then. He wasn't the man, however, to do-any thing by halves. Going to the same bureau, he took forth a small six-chambered revolver and a pair of whiskers. Putting all three in his breast pocket, he started out unknown to his wife, muttering to himself, "How lucky I thought of it in time. In another hour it would be to late. No murder in any case whatever comes of it." Crossing a fewfields he got out upon the high way, and in less than an hour was five or six miles from town. Here he- paused . breatsess,- but.had sicarcely time to don the esp and whiskers when the sound of wheels inn tolA Mim the time wa cme. It was now pretty far advanced in the evening. Objects could not be distinguished father than a few yards. Taking a hasty backward glance to-be assured it was the par ty expected, George allowed the carriage to over take hini at a steep hill. "Halt! driver; if you move an inch you are a dead man," and the six-chamber gleamed before his eyes. The driver took in the situation at a glance. lie saw the futility of resisting. He saw the steep hill before him. He saw the deadly weapon in George's hand, aid lie remained a passive and timid spec tator of the scene which 4ollowed. "What's the matter.' roared t"e occupant of the carriage--a wealthy old usurer and banker-putting his head out of the window; but the sight of the revolver was enough for him. "So, sir, you mean to rob me." -No bandying, old fellow. I have no time to lose. Out with that lit tle blue bag beside you, or take the consequences."Jt "Suppose I refuse, scoundrel.' Perhaps you have no objection then to an ounce of lead. Come, come, old man, you and I are men of the world. We should know how to deal with esch other. You're rich, and I'm poor, poor. very poor. You have no hope to get away alive if you refuse to de liver. Quick! quick! before some stragglers upset my little plan." "I will give you half." "How much have you in those two little bags beside you?" "A thousand pounds; five hun dred in each.' -'All right old chap. Hand out one of them, and away you go." The old banker handed out the bag reluctantly. saying, "I will yet see you safe within the dock, sir." i-Don't be too sure of that, old 0 man. By jove, you are a plucky t old fellow after all." Putting his 0 head very close to the old banker's s nose, he said, by way of a parting b salutation- t "Take a good look at me now, and try to remember the features of the man who robbed you. Bye, p bye;' and th(n immediately jumped ( inside the wall, making for his home as quick as his legs coild carryhiM, knowing that the alarm would be all over the country - as b soon as the carriage could make - the nearest police station. Passing y a farmers house lie threw the smok ing cap inside the palings, and in t another hour was safe and sound in . bed. t j Next day the whole country round rang with thrilling accounts of the daring robbery. The streets t were alive in the little town of t V -d. All i,usiness was sus- f dended. Little knots of p)eople e were scattered here and there dis- 0 cssing all the circumstances. How ti the wealthy old Jlacob Grimes had C been robbed whea~ about six miles k from town last ni..;t, with eight or nine hundred pou ids in specie for the bank at R.-a. in the carriage a with him. The l->cal newspapers ~ had .leading articles on it. Pla ards-were -posted on every avail- tI able dead wall in the locality. The t( olice wereon the alert. All strag- e iers were helId in custody. U George Somerville's thoughts 'I were not the pleasantest as he strolled through the streets. hrstening b o the exagg. rated accuts of his l little adventure. "How lucky no one ever saw that cap with me, or those whiskers,'' he muttered, "not ! even my wife. No human eye ever rested on th am since the night HIar ry Weldon th;rew them in my office after the theatricals at Jackson's. b Harry Weldon is now at the Anti podes, and it is not likely any one will remembcr a cap he wore one 0 night, twenty years ago." s On the. followving day the excite ment was at fever heat when the - news spread that the robber had been captai-ed, and the astonish- i ment of all was great whien Farmer d Brown's- son was marched in custo dy to the police7-tition. Non-e r4 were willing to believe him guilty. Besides, the money had not been ti founrd upon him. But, then, old Grimes positively asserted thaE lie t: was the man who robbed himnr.aThe cap he wore was a very remarkable oe. It was found upon young ~ Brown, and was now in the hands b of the authorities. A richly got up -t smoking-cap with a gold band. ' WVe find George Somerville sit ting alone for the second time in his office brooding.t "Funny affair altogether, by jove," he ejaculated. "I wonder how will S I get the unfortunate fellow out'of S it. I've halt' a mind to confess the ' whole thing." Tap, tap, tap. t "Come in." Enter Farmer Brown. I "Good morning, Mr. Brown. C2 Take a seat, ' "Good mbrning, Mr. Somerville. r I suppose you guess my business a with yon !" "I was sorry to hear of your son's u'raut for thin tobbery. It mnat ha 1 a case of mistaken identity." "Certainly. But at any rate, h must be defended, and I suppose . ran count on you to do your besi for him?" "Of course. What is the defence? An alibi!' "Why, yes. I believe so. Ile aever left the house the evening the robbery occurred." "But the cap "Oh ! I forgot. lie Found the 2ap next morning about twenty >erches from the door, and foolish. y wore it all day. It must have >een thrown there by the real rob. >er. The police, when searching tround the place, found it with him. lence the arrest, and now you have il I know inysclf,' --I see, I see. The case coimes otT Lt the next.assizes. In the mean .imqe I will hunt up all t1he evidene can in his behalf. Depend upon t no stone shall be left unturned.' "Thanks good morning.'' The expression of George's face fhen the farmer left was a study 'or an artist. There was a merry winkle around his eye that would nake you laugh, if the determined .spc(t of the rest of his features a.dn't held you in check. He nev r could look serious about the yes. They were made for fun. o matter how firmly the lips com iressed themselves, or the frown larkened on his forehead the eyes efused point blank to join the gen ral humor of the countenance. ['hey were always merrily twinkling ike too little stars, as if they scorn d to be in earnest about anything. Yeorge was terribly in earnest now. 'he web was thickening around iin.

"Ileigho !" said lie, "here goes for ue never failing remedy to smoothe he troubled mind," and he pulled ut a cigar. lit it, and rocked him elf in a large arm chair, with his ands locked behind his neck, and he eyes twinkling merrily up to rard the ceiling. If George continues long in this osture Brown has a good chance. ,eorge is brooding. It is Assize day in the town of 1-d. Crowds of people are ustling toward the court house. 'he topic of the hour is the trial of oung Brown for robbery. The idge having taken his seat on the ench at 11. 30 a. in., the business f the day is opened. Brown's is ie first case called. After the iry having been empanelled. Jacob ,rines stepped into the witness ox. His evidence is brief and to ie purpose.

All eyes were turned iwards him. iIe was v'isibly excit 1 Every one who saw him felt iat a new feature was to be intro need into the case. "You say, sir, that you were rob ed on the evening of the 26th May st, six miles from B--d?" "Yes." "How much money had you?" "A thousand pounds." "How much was taken?" "Five hundred." "You say you had two separate ags-five hundred in each?" "Yes." "Did the robber know he left one f those behind him?" "Yes. he did. Because as I "Stop now, please. You've an gered my question sufficiently." All this was irrelevant. George as only beating about the bush et. He appeared sanguine now. [is eyes were twinkling. The coup e main was coming. "I think, sir, you don't know who >bbed you. "I am quite positive about it, on le contrary." "Are you? Quite confident it was 2e prisoner at the bar?" "Undoubtedly." "I wouldn't be a bit surprised if ou said it was his lordship on the ench, or one of the jury, or myself mat robbed you. People say our memory is not good. Show ie that smoking cap, police ian." The policeman handed George de cap. "I declare it fits me admirably," aid he,.fitting it on as he spoke, nd looking jauntily toward the !tness chair. Moving near to old krimes, be edged his way up close : his elbow, and in a rather low aice, but in the very tone in which e used the wordL. on a former oc asion, said "On your solemn oath, didn't the aan who robbed you when leaving ay, 'Take a good look at me now, ,d try to remember the features of be man who robbed you. Bye, 'ye' -? ~ An ashy hue came over Grimes face, as he recognized the voice and tone. l e saw his friend of the 26th Ma5 before him. The next mo inent he was all aflame with passion. He could not contain himself any longer. Jumping from off his seat he collared George, shouting "You are the man who robbed me. I see my mistake, now. That cursod cap misled me. You did it cleverly. sir,* bit you're caught now. I said i'd see you safe within the (lock yet, and I will." --Didn't I tell your lordship, he didn't know who robbed him." "Yes, I do, but too well, I know it now. By all my hopes of---" "You may go down now, sir." said his lordship. "As the gentle man engaged for the defence haq said, you don't know who robbed you. You may retire, gentleman of the jury, to consider your ver dict. I will not insult your intelli gence by addressing you after what you've heard." The jury came out almost immedi ately with a verdict of acquittal, and Brown was discharged. After this famous success, crowds of clients poured in to George. He is now a thriving lawyer, with a large and increang practice. One morning, about six months after Brown's trial, old Jacob Grimes found a little blue bag, containing five hundred pounds in gold, inside his hall door, left there by some unknown hand. Not one farthingi of it was ever touched. Nay, the bag even was never touched. George was sorry from the very mo ment after the act - being done. Mrs. Somerville never knew any thing abont it. Reader, forgive him if you can. As he himself said "Those whiskers and that smok -ing cap in my bureau first suggested the wicked thought." 19isttUaitott9. WASI-NG'TrON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. WA.MHING TON, D. C. Mar. 11, 1884. Business is moving along quietly in Congress, but there are indica. tions that rapid progress will be made hereafter. The committees of the House have worked like bea vers pilling up and marking out business for consideration on the floor and when the reports begin to come in there will be lively work. President-making is the chief busi ness of interest outside of Congress, and on the Republican side a great deal of anxious attention is being given to the contest now going on in the State of New York over the the selection of delegates. The friends of Mr. Arthur are straining every nerve to capture a majority of the delegation and hope by that means to secure the solid vote of the State for the man who John Sherman, when Secretary of the Treasury, said was not worthy to be entrusted with the office of col lector of the port of New York. But they have found a good deal of strong opposition which develops more and more every day. The tools and methods relied upon by Arthur to secure the State for him ai-e not satisfactor- to the better elements of the party. They be long purely' to the lowest machine workers and tactics. The strongest point made by the President's friends in his favor is that he has done nothing to offend anybody; and it is true that a large quantity of empty champagne bottles are the sole monuments of Mr. Arthur's official career. Hie don't even fil vacancies in office when they occur, lest the unsuccessful applicants should be against him, but holds them open to promise and trade on for delegates. There are many vacancies which have been accumu lating for several months and old p)oliticianls are beginning to remark that the President is overdoing the thing and that it will finally do him more hurt than good. In this connection I may state that Mr. Springer's proposition for an amendment to the Constitution, making the Presidential term six years, and rendering the President ineligible to reelection for the next succeeding term, is received with great favor. It provides for a direct vote for President in each State, and abolishes the electoral college. Each State shall have a number of votes eonmal to the num her of its Representatives and Sen ators in Congress, to be given to each candidate in proportion to the total vote cast for each. The term of Representatives ini Congress is fixed at thmree years. and Congress shall meet each year on the first Wednesday in January, the first session to convene in the January succeeding the November election. There are many considerations to recommend these changes, not the least ef which would be raising the Presidential office and administra tion to something above a scheming machine for the succession. Some idea of tbe danger we are approaching through the destruction of our forests may be gathered fromJ the faot reported by one ofth first lumber statisticians now living that the entire ttock of standinc white-pine in the United States does not exceed 80,000,000,00( feet, which includes the small inferior trees which used to bE thought not worth cutting. anO 10.00,000,000 feet out of these 80,000,000,000 are cut every year, with the demand steadily increasing The annual value of the product o our mills as it falls from the saw is $300,000,000, of which white-pine is the chief item. At the lumber yard from which it is obtained by the consumer, the worth of this an. nual product is 50 per cent more, or $450,000,000. To replace this from other countries. which, by the w:y is an impossibility, would require more than all the tonnage of the world for its transportation, and it would then cost in the yard more than twice what it does now. Here then we have an annual deficit of $1, 000,000,000, to say nothing of the loss from the crippling of manufac tures depending on working wood, and the derangement of the water supply. In Michigan to day, good. standing pine. bought of the United States Government for $2 50 per acre, is valued at $200 per acre, and yet the remorseless slaughter of our remnant. of timber goes on at increasing speed; and the cut of last year was the greatest ever known. One out of the eight years' supply is thus entirely taken away, and the end is therefore close at hand unless we begin to eco-.omize. These are cold facts to which Con gress should promptly apply rene dial legislation. lHon. John B. Alley and family. of Massachusetts, and Col. Bob In gersoll and family left Washington a few days since for New Mexico where they have gone to take pos session of the Bosler interest in Dorsey's ranch, which is 60 miles long and 24 miles wide, and water ed by the Chico Springs River. There are now on it 45,000 head of cattle and 600 horses, divided into small heads, each of which has its corral and herdsman's houses. Dorsey mortgaged one-half interest in this estate to the late Mr. Boster, to raise the ready cash necessatry for his defense when he stood his trial in the Star route cases, and the death of Bosler placed him in an unpleasant pecuniary position. Col. Ingersoll extricated him by convincing Mr. Alley that it was a good investment, and Mr. Alley drew his check for $400,000 to clinch his bargain, following it in a few days by $300,000 more. Mr. Alley may. after all, have the seat in the United States Senate which his friends have claimed for him. coining from New Mexico, however, instead of Massachusetts. PIToXo. THlE WANT OF SYSTEU, It is astonishing how much time people lose for want of 'system'. A girl ri?,es, dawdles about dressing. gets late for breakfast, and then the best part of the day is gone. A young fellow has finished his work; he idles about with a few rriends, andi before he knows it, it s past nine o'clock, and the even ng is practically wasted. Any quantity of work can be ione in a lifetime if there is only organization and application. No matron or maid, sitting down, f'or instance, to make a knitted counterpane,.could do the whole at one sitting;but aquarter of an hour's work every day would accomplish the whole task long as it is in the course of a few weeks. The minutes, too, have an 01(1 trick of slipping away so swiftly that. if they are not caught and ap plied to a good purpose, they are wasted in a manner which leaves the years periodically a blank. The young husbands who come home in the evening and grow suil ky because their wives are untidy, and the fire place dirty with the ashes, and who are told by their spouses there has been "so much to do" that time for '-tidying up'' could not be found, may make sure that "system" is lacking somewhere. The heaviest days' work can be got'tbrough, either by the fireside on the wife's part, or out of doors on the husband's side, if time is on ly taken by the forelock, every thing begun early, and everything, too, systematically carried out. Jack is a coach dog that found his master by telephone. In some way Jack got lost, and fortunately was found by one of his master's friends, who went to his office and asked by telephone if the man had lost his dog. "Yes, where is he?" was the reply. "He is here. Sup pose you call him through the tele phone." The dog's ear was placed over the ear-piece, and his master said, "Jack ! Jack ! how are you, Jack?' Jack instantly recognized the voice, arnd began to yelp. He licked the telephone fondly, seem; ing to thiag that his master was in side cif the machine.

But very few people seem to un derstand the principles of true econ oiny. If some persons have money, they are never satisfied until they have spent it. It seems to burn their pockets. When it is all gone, they then have to struggle for exis tence. Such persons are very poor - managers. They live on the prn. ciple of "live to-day and let to mor row provide for itself.' Now that is a very poor plan. Every person should learn to save at least a small portion of their daily or yearly earnings. This they can do by proper management. They must 4 econoinise in their expetiditures. They must deny themselves of such luxuries as their income does not justify. Every person, who has ordinary intelligence and good health, can earn something move than a mere living. They can then learn to lay by a little of their sir plus earnings for a rainy-day. These savings, judiciously investid will soon begin to increase their income, and will add additional comforts to their former style of living. When their income is sr-f ficiently large, from their invest ments, to justify it, 'good living' is commendable, but wasteful extrava gance is always wrong. Economy is a "science," and yon must study it well to know how to practice it. There are plenty of people. who would be poor with a pocket full ot' money, so to speak; while there are plenty of others who are "well off.'-. with scarcely a cent in. their pock ets. This is because the former don't know how to manage. and the latter do. The lesson of life is learned from hard study and bitter experience. but those who learn it have their fortune made. Let every one study these rules and we- are sure that they will profit by it. WnhERE THE RICH MAN WENT. -A boy who, rejoiced in bare feet six days of the week was compelled by his mother to put on shoes when hewent to church or Sunday-school in a village a mile distant from- his : home. No sooner, however, was he out of maternal sight than he polled off the heated leather box< s, because they made his feet swell, and tying them .together hy the string, threw them over his sh%ulder and jogged on barefooted, as usual. He was soon overtaken by a rich neighbor in a fine family wagon who asked him to ride. The boy was bound for the Baptist church and the wealtLy farmer to the Presbyterian. Sling ing his brogans under the seat he enjoyed the proferred ride and was set down at his own church, forget ting his shoes, while the rich man went on to his destination. In Sun day-school the teacher- was prosy and the boy got to sleep during the.e lesson, which was on Lazarus and the rich man. The teacher con'clu ded his lecture on the lesson of the lay with the question, "What be ame of the rich man?'' The boy oused up from his snooze just in ime to answer, "He drove up to - he Presbyterian church." "No," aswered the teacher, "he lifted up is eves in hell." "No, he did'at, ersisted the boy, "he went up to he Presbyterian church, and -he's ot my newr shoes under his wagon eat." HIE TOK TIHE HINT.-They were sitting alone in the parlor when ghe sweetly remarked :. "George, dear, can you tell me why it is that the course of true love never ruris smoothly?" "It does run smoothly, darling" said George, passionately. "What could be smoother than the course of our true love?' --And love is blind, is it not?' she went on. "Yes, love is said to be blind." replied George, wondering what she was trying to get at. "Well, I can tell you why true lov e never runs smoothly," and she look ed at the lapel of his coat as though ~ she would like to go to sleep there. "Love is blind, and instead of help ing the blind it is considered the proper thing to pull down the blind. George acted upon this bint and pulled down the blind. -PAiladeI phia Call.
