WltiG liESBY'S LOVE.
When u mun has lived to the ma

Lfdriniouy and during tho Inst half
Hozcti yenrri of that period' has
..(reeiv looked at a woman, there
very little hope for him.
Su. ii. at h ast, was the case with
tl?zeki?ih Wiggleshy. Whenever
Vigclesby saw himself in his mir
rWhich happened once a day,
inion he shaved himself (not being
faiii or u woman, Wiggleshy had no
occasion to consult it oftener), ho
bad a deplorable habit of addressing
cou"iiitttlatory remarks to his re
?tioii ianthe glass on tho fact that
[t?|(.y-lie and the shadow-were
to get along without the silly
fci'x, a> vVigglesby alliteratively
grossed it. .
i usc the term deidorable, and it
Ltiiiuly is, deeply so, when an oth
rwise sensible man is addicted to
lalkiug to himself in the glass and
? trying to deceive himself into tho
belief that he is a perfectly happy
ami contented old bachelor, when
Elicit a thing is an utter anomaly
and impossibility.
Wiggleshy knew nt the bottom of
his heart that the life he was lead
Jing was unsatisfactory and incom
tilete, that his daily self congratula
tions were a hollow mockery and a
iarce, ami one thing more than all
bise tbat caused him to realize this
[was an occasional glimpse which
|wus vouchsafed him of a plump
roiing widow who had recently
loved into tho roomy old farm
jouse across the way.
For years the place opposite had
jeenwhat is known as "as aban
loued farm," hut it had lately come
Into the possession of Mrs. Wiltsey,
substantial and pleasant looking
ridow, who, in company with a
ounger sister, had moved there
rom the city to engage in the f as
;g and (OCIZ?G?J??CS) profitable
pursuit of chicken raising.
Until they came Wigglesby's daily
jrision had been undisturbed L" the
tight of a woman, save when one
pptientd to drive by, and in that
Jase there was no law compelling
tVigg?esby to look at her, and he
isnally didn't.
Wiggleshy attended to himself aft
fr a fashion of his own which was
?rtainly original, though it prob
bly would bother him some to se
?ure ti patent on it.
He hud a way of making a bed,
instance, so that nobody on earth
fxcept Wiggleshy himself could tell
ivhich end was intended for the head
iud which the foot, and sometimes
to couldn't. At?d when it came to
toking flapjacks, a dish of which he
?ts very fond, Wiggleshy usually
bstributed the dough impartially
>ver the top of the stove, the grid
ileana the floor, so that when he
5pt through preparing the meal the
?tchen looked as if the battle ol
Banker Hill had been fought ovet
?eamon the spot, with dough fox
Mnmunition.
H was one of those interesting op*
asions - when Wiggleshy waa
toggling with a refractory baton
>f flapjacks, I mean-that he re
vved bis first call from Mrs. Wilt
^ the plump widow across the
*ay. He had a griddle full of flap
lacks baked on one side, and he was
baking a heroic effort to turn them
lver, using a table knife for that pur
?se, eo they oould bake on the oth:
when a pleasant face suddenly
.Ppeared in the half opened door
way and a musical voice said:
"Excuse mel This is Mr. Wiggles
'?t 1 presume?"
The flapjack which Wiggleshy was
Itho ?ct of turning dropped with a
tod to the floor, and poor Wiggles
'y turned all the colors of the rain
at once and incoherently stam.
cered:
'N-n-no - I m-mean yes, I'm

F ' 'You need a. recular nan

much handier than a kn i fu fur euch
work."
"Gosh, that wa? a narrow escape!
I thought she was going to say a-a
wife," muttered Wigglesby to him
self as he dashed out of the room in
search of the tuck hammer.
"Thunk you very much!" said
Mrs. Wiltsey, with a grateful smile,
when Wigglesby returned with the
required article. "It is real kiud of
you to lend your hammer, and I
will be suro to bring it back tho
minute I'm through using it."
. "You're welcome, I-I'm sure, and
*-and there's no hurry about bring
ing it back," Wigglesby managed to
stammer as his fair caller took her
departure with tho hammor.
After she was gone Wigglesby
was unaccountably nervous and de
jected. His bachelor bosom had sud
denly become filled with a vague
unrest, a new, strange longing.
Could it be that, after all, there was
something lacking in the life ho was
leading? He wandered restlessly
. bout from room to room and some
how the big house had never seemed
to him so empty as jt did then.
IS ext day th ero came a timid knook
at tho door. Wigglesby's heart
jumped up into Iiis throat, und he
straightway forgot every word of
tho gracious speech ho had planned
so carefully.
"Just my luck!" he groaned, and
I then, hastily pulling himself togeth
er, he started for the door, groping
blindly around in his mind in thc
meanwhile for his mislaid speech.
Before he reached tho doorway ho
had found it once more, and all
might yet have boen well were it
not for tho fact that instead of
bringing back the hammer hcrsell
Mrs. Wiltsoy had sent it by bel
younger sister.
When Wigglesby opened tho door
and saw a girl standing there with
something in her hand extended to
ward him, the smile on his facesi.d<
denly vanished, and ho waved hex
away with: "Don't want anything
today, miss. I never buy from"
"But I don't want you to buy it,''
she laughed. "This is your tad
hammer, and my sister said to tell
you she was ever and ever so mud
obliged for the use of it."
"Er-exouse me, miss!" stammer
ed Wigglesby. "I-I-took you foi
a-one of tho confounded-er-]
should say, female agents, and I
fact is, I-er-oh, Lord, why didn't
your sister come with it herself'
Then this wouldn't have happened.5
And with this somewhat lame ant
incoherent conclusion to his at
tempted apology Wigglesby seize'
tho tack hammer and fled, leavfti;
his astonished caller still standing
at the door.
When Maud Maxwell (for such wa:
the youngwoman'sname), upon hei
return, laughingly related to he:
sister the particulars of her inter
view with Mr. Wigglesby,she wounr.
up by saying, "Don't you think hi
must be just a trifle cracked, Kit
tie?"
And, with a smile of superior in
telligence, the astute Kittie, other
wisc known aa Mrs. Kate Wiltsey
dryly observed :
"1 guess not-that is, no mon
cracked than any old bachelor is."
From which it is evident that thi
plump widow did not have a ven
exaUed opinion of a man who pre
ferred to "flock by himself."
But to return to Wigglesby. Fo
several days after the hammer epi
sode he spent the most of his timi
drifting uneasily about his hous
and grounds and casting furtive am
frequent glances across the way ti
see if perchance his fair neighbo
might be coming to borrow some
thing else. A woman, he reasoned
is always losing things, and o
course Mrs. Wiltsey would com
over to borrow again, for where els
could she go except to her nearcs
neighbor? So Wigglesby kept o
the qui vive, with his entire coller,
tion of farming and household equij.
menta in readiness for lending at
second's notice. ' Put, alas, th
plump widow came neither to boi
TOW nor to lend, and finally Wif
gl??uy was in despair. ? He even b<
?jan to think seriously of sneakin
across the way some dark night an
stealing some of Mrs. Wiltsey1
toola, so she would be compelled t
.ome the next day and borrow t
him.
Somehow he felt that he 'must s<
cure another interview and get be
ter acquainted with her in some wa
either by hook or crook, and at tb
same time he kept wondering wb
it was that he was suddenly takin
such an interest in woman, or i
least in one woman.
The reader has probably guesse
the truth. Wigglesby was in lov*
but, being a new experience to hin
he did not fully recognize the fae
He knew that something ailed hin
but wasn't exactly certain whut

however, that the society of tl

ranches that stage there is eon
hope for him yet.

neet7 thou).
So, shaving and dressing himself
with unusual care, ho betook him
self across the way and was in tho
act of ringing Mrs. Wiltsey'a door-j
bell when the gd ump widow? herself
came around the corner of tho !
wood shed in her working clothes
and with a clucking and protesting
indict under her arm.
"Why, good afternoon, Mr. Wig
glesby 1" began she smilingly and
without tho slightest trace of em
barrassment. "I'm so glad you hap
pened to call as you did. Perhaps
you can tell mo how to make this
hen stay on the eggs until they aro
hatched. She has been sitting two j
weeks, and now she has taken a no
tion to quit.' This makes tho third
time 1 have oaught her off the nest
in the past two hours."
"Why-why don't you fasten her
oui" suggested Wigglesby, with a
sudden burst of inspiration.
"Oh, thank you!" exclaimed Mrs.
Wiltsey. "I thought of doing so,
but wasn't sure whether it was right
or not. Just hold her a minute, will
you, while I hunt up a rope to tio
her down with."
And the next thing Wigglesby
knew he was standing there alone,
looking very foolish, but happy,
with that balky hen tightly clasped
in both hands, while his hustling
neighbor had vanished in search of
the requisite cord to secure the fowl
to the nest.
Sho presently returned with it
and offered to relieve Wigglesby of
his charge, but Wigglesby said,
"No, it will take at least two per
sons to properly anchor that pullet
on tho nest, and, seeing that your
sister isn't on hand to romler the
necessary assistance, I would just as
soon go along and help as not."
From this it would seem that Wig
glesby was improving very rapidly.
"It is very kind of you, I'm sure,"
said the plum}) widow, favoring;
Wigglesby with a grateful smile,
which upset him so ho came neat
dropping the ben he was holding.
He quickly recovered himself, how
ever, and meekly followed his neigh,
bor as she led the way to the nest.
"There they are," exclaimed Mrs.
Wiltsey when they reached the spct,
"13 as lino eggs as were eve: bi id,
and-I just happened to think of it
-I wonder it tho number has any
thing to do with her acting as she
does? You don't suppose the hen
has counted the eggs and found out
that thore are 13 of them and that is
why she refuses to sit any moro,
,1 ..""ell
a o you.
"Shouldn't wonder," said Wig
glesby. "All females aro so plaguy
-I mean all hens aro so supersti
tious, you know."
"Are they* I didn't know it."
"Yes," hastily responded Wig.
glesby, congratulating himself on
the fact that Mrs. Wiltsey hadn't
noticed the bad break ho came near
making; "but thishen might as well
make ui> her mind to sit, 13 or no
13. If you will take her a minute, 1
think I can fix the nest ho she will
have to stay on it."
Mrs. Wiltsey relieved Wigglesby
of his burden, and then he looked
wise and went on:
"I suppose the surest way would
be to bore two holes in tho bottom
of the nest, then stick her legs down
through and tie them fast under tho
neut, but-er"
"Are you sure the eggs wouldn't
fall throughi" anxiously inquired
the ow ner of the hen at this ptriut.
"Er-I was just wondering about
that myself. I don't think tying her
on the nest is going to work vory
well. Wait, and I'll see if I can find
a box to turu upside down over ber.
If I can get ono small enough and
then put a weight on it to hold it
down, she's got to sit whether sho
likes to or not."
"But I'm afraid I am putting you
to an awful lot of trouble Mr. Wig
glesby !"
"Not at all-just as soon come
over and-and help you sit a hon
every day if you want me to; just
as soon as not."
Oh, yes, Mr. Wigglesby was pro
gressing t
He finally found the right sort of
box, and be and the plump widow
between them got the hen under it
and the box properly anchored
down, and then Wigglesby said he
guessed it was time he was going.
"But," he added thoughtfully,
"I'll-er-come over again tomor7
row to help get this ben out and
feed her and put her back on the
nest again. Sh .-.'ll have to bo taken
out and fed once a day, and of
course you can't do it alone."
"But my sister will be home to
morrow. She has only gone away
for the day, and when she gets back
she can help me if I need any as
sistance."
"Oh, well," said Wigglesby in an
injured tone of voice, "if you prefer
her assistance to mine"
The widow broke in with a gay
little laugh and then suddenly grew
sober.
"All right, you may come r<gain
tomorrow if you wish," she said
demurely.
A week later the hon (which had
been fed and watered daily and en
couraged to stick to her post by hat
two faithful attendants) hatched
out a dozen downy chicks, and when
Wigglesby took them from the nest
and placed them in Mrs. Wiltsey's
apron she glanced down nt them in
motherly fashion nnl cooed:
"What tiny, helpless little things
they arel One cannot help loving
them!"
"I suppose not," said Wigglesby
gloomily. "I wish I'd been hatched
instead of born, and then maybe
somebody'd lovo mo. "

vouches for the following, which, if
not strictly new, is at least a very

story. A niothor, a baby and a nurse
were seated together on the veranda
one morning with a number of other
guests. The mother was deeply en
grossed in a book. The nurse was
occupied by trying to keep the baby
out of mischief. "No, uo; tho baby
mustn't have it," was her staple re
mark, ropeated over and over again
and invariably followed by wails
from the thwarted infant. Present

eyes from the book, said: "Do let

Anything to keep the peace." "But, j

just grasped a bumblebee.-Phila

In Austria and Germany the army

Baden was occupied by Prussian
troops after their suppressing the
insurrection of 1849, the officers

against playing at Baden Baden.
One summer evening King (then
Prince) Wilhelm strolled into the
gaming rooms and noticed an officer
in civilian'*} clothes sitting at play.
He had won twice on the red and
was about to pick up his money
when he caught sight of the pi ince
watching him. Terror stricken, he

for his winnings. Tho red turned

As the maximum was quickly reach

the shoulder and said gently, "Take
up your money and go, lest one of
your chiefs should find you here."
Of course the soldier did not re

immediately. Two days later there
was a review at Rastadt, during
which Prince Wilhelm sighted tho
culprit and sent for him. "Lieuten

MORSE AND DAGUERRE.
An ?ntcrcstlnjr lutvrview Retvrcen the
Two Discoverer* lit 1830.
Tho following is an extract froui
a privatO letter of Professor S. P. 13.
Morse to the editor of the New York
Observer, dated Paris, March i),
183?:
"You have perhaps heard of tho
daguerreotype, so (.ailed, from tho
discoverer, M. Daguerre, lt is .mo
of tho most beautiful discoveries of
tho age. I don't know if you re
member some experiments of mine
in New Haven many y? ara ago,
when I had my painting room next
to Professor Silliman's - experi
ments to ascertain if it wore possi
ble to fix the imago of tho camera
obscura. I was able to produce dif
ferent degrees of shade on paper
dipped into a solution of nitrate of
silver by means of different degrees
of light, but, finding that light pro
duced dark and dark light, I pre
sumed the production of a true im
age to bo impracticable and gave up
the attompt. M. Daguerre has real
ized in tho most exquisite manner
this idea.
"A few days ago I addressed a
note to him requesting, as a
stranger, tho favor to see his results
and inviting him in return to see
my telegraph. 1 was politely invited
to seo them under these circum
stances, for he had determined not
to show them again until tho cham
bers had passed definitely on the
proposition for tho government to
purchase tho secret of thu discovery
and make it public. The day bofore
yesterday, tho 7th, 1 called on M.
Daguerre, at his rooms in tho Dio
rama, to set? these admirable results.
"They are produced on a metallic
surface, the principal pieces about
7 inches hy ti, and they resemble
tupia tint engraving, for they aro in
simple i biara oscuro and not in <'<d
ors. But tho exquisite minuteness
of tho delineation cannot ho con
ceived. No painting or engraving
ever approached it. For example,
in a view up the street a distant
sign would bo perceived, and tho
eyo could just discern that there
wero lines of letters upon it, but KO
minute as not to bo read with thu
naked eye. By the assistance of a
powerful lens, which magnified no
times, applied to tho delineation,
every letter was clearly and dis
tinctly legible, and so also were thc
minutest breaks and Hues in the
walls of the building and tho pave
ments of the street. Tho effect of
tho lens upon tho picture was in a
great degree like that of tho tele
scope ill nature.
"Objects moving aro not impress
ed. The boulevard, so constantly
filled with ti moving throng of pe
destrians and carriages, was perfect
ly solitary, oxcept au individual
who was having his boots brushed.
His feet were compelled, of course,
to bo stationary for some time, one
being o)i the box of tho bootblack
and the other on the ground. Con
sequently his boots and legs are
well defined, but he is without body
or head, because these wero in mo
tion.
"The impressions of interior views
are Rembrandt perfected. Ono of
the plutos is au impression of a
spider. The spider was not bigger
than the head of a large pin, but the
image, magnified by the solar micro
scope to the size of the palm of tho
hand, having been impressed on the
plate and examined through a lens,
was further magnified ami showed
a minuteness of organization hither
to not soon to exist.
"You perceive how this discovery
is therefore about to open a new
field of research in tho depths of
microscopio nature. We are soon to
see if tho minute has discovered lim
its. Tho naturalist is to have a new
kingdom to explore as much be
yond tho microscope as the micro
scope is beyond the naked eye.
"But I am near the end of my pa
per, and I have unhappily to give a
melancholy close to my account of
this ingenious discovery. M. Da
guerre appointed yesterday at noon
to see my telegraph. He came and
passed more than an hour with me,
expressing himself highly gratified
at its operation, but while he was
thus employed the great building of
the Diorama, with his own house,
all his beautiful works, his valuable
notes and papers, the labors of
years of experiment, wore, unknown
to him, at that moment becoming
tho prey of the flames. His secret,
indeed, is still safe with him, but
the steps of his progress in the dis
covery and his valuable researches
in science are lost to tho scientifio
world. I learn that the Diorama
I was insured, but to what extent
I know not. I am sure all friends
Of science and improvement will
unite in expressing the deepest sym
pathy in M. Daguerre's loss and the
sincere hope that such a liberal sum
will be awarded him by his govern
i ment as shall onable him, in some
degree ot leust, to recover fr? m his
loss. 'Boston Transcript.
