"Coming." "There, mother, old Speckle has returned thanks at last," holding up a plump, white egg that would do credit to any queen of the poultry yard. "Well, I rllcrs said that hen was thankful for past mercies, though your father would laugh every time I said so. Liddy Stephens has jest been here. She wanted to see you, but you was gone so long, I thought you must be down to Miss Penncll's." "Yes, I met her as she came through the yard." "She didn't tell you the news, did Bhc?" "She told inc Will Marston had returned from California." "It does beat all 'bout that boy ! Seems jest like the piece o' poctrv you read sometimes about the fuller that went oil and stayed so ninny years,and then come back and took his mother out o' the poor-house?only it's the father this Lime. 'The very worst of the deacon's ?ix,' it called him, and that's just what Will was then. I never believed ho had anything to do with that scrape down to the village. Liddy says lie is terribly rich, and is going to take care of his father. The deacon must be glad, for I guess lie stayed with Caleb most as long is lie can comfortably. They say he's going to marry Sain .Miller's daughter lluth. You see, when Bob Miller vent aut there for his health, Will found him out and done little kindnesses for him, and when he was too sick to write home, Will wrote for him. Part o' the time Sam was sick hisself, so Ruth answered the letters, and lie fell in love with her in that way. There didn't anybody but the dcacon and the Millers know he was Doming. Sam drove down to the Hcpot and carried liim up to Caleb's. 1 Guess they was some surprised to sec him." There is no knowing how long Mrs. Allen would have gone on, her tongue keeping time to the busy elic!c clack of her kneedles, had not 3Ir. Allen's step tounded on the walk. 'L zabcth never talked much, and the mother did not mind her silence tonight. A slight quiver about the sensitive mouth alone told how keenly the words were felt, and the si Mi ?f r/.Hr.f which cscaped nt flic wclcome .sound of her father's voicc was lost in the noise made as he entered stamping the snow from his boots. "Why, father, does it snow? I been so busy talking I hain't thought to look out of the window for some time." "Ye?, it's begun to come down right imart; shouldn't wonder if it was good sleighing by to-morrow." "You don't think it's going to bo a long storm?" Mrs. Allen's face had an anxious expression as she asked the question, for a. long storm meant days of exile for her. v "No, I sh'll be surprised if it don't clear up by to-morrow noon?so's 'Lizabeth and I can take a ridt; to tlw? vil! >??? * 1 that'll be a treat, won't it, darter?" and the smile that lighted up his daughter's (ace pleased him better than any answer could have done. "Guess I'll get the old sleigh out. Ben Smart's been down to the city and he says he saw lots jest like it; it's live years since I sent Jim down to the village for the new one, aud it's never been out since. I'm glad it's come into fashion again, for I never enjoyed myself complete in the new one?always felt a little above mv station." nml Vtir. mcr Allen's laugh rang through tho old litting room at the fitness of his remark. "Well, 'Lizabeth, you get supper on the table, and I'll tell father the new.i while he warms his feet. He's ben down to the wood lot all the afternoon, and hain't heard nothing of the strange things that has ben happening up here." Having arranged things to her satisfaction, the stockings, Mrs. Allen had dropped on the entrance of her husband, continued to grow under her deft lingers, while the news lost none of its interest with ronrtitinn. A That night, after 'Lizabcth had taken her candle and said good night, Mr. A-llcn sat for some timo looking at tho fire, then suddenly broke out: "Mother, don't you think 'Lizabcth looks kind o' peaked lately? Then she don't seem to eat as much as usual." "There, father, you're always fretting 'bout that girl. I don't know what you'd a dono if you'd had six, liko your brother Jonathan." \ f V ?': . . .. V V 1 "I didn't knorr but tho news about "Will might affect her 80015. You know they used to think so much of each other." ' Maasy, father! That was years and years ago, when they werj children. 'Li/.abeth'.s too sensible a girl to let a felier like Will Marston to disturb her. When he stopped writing to her she gave him up. She's worked hard to-day, and a good night's rest will bring her round." There seemed nothing more to be said, so he took a licrht and proceeded to make everything safe for tho night, but long after his good wife was asleep he lay !nv:lki> tliinlfinnr nf (lin nnl<> fnpn Ills daughter had lifted for the good night kiss. 'Lizabcth was not likely to get the strength her mother thought from a night's rest. Until the first rays of morning lighted up the cast, she lay thinking of the old days and living them over again. She could not remember the time when she and Will had not seemed to belong to each other. When they were children lie had drawn her to and from school on his sled, saved her the largest half of his apple or orange, and fought all her battles with a vigor worthy of an olden knight. When the years in their flight made them no longer children, it was always Will who, at the close of meeting or singing school, drew her arm through his with an air of proprietorship and started for the Allen farm. After his mother's death he had not chosen his associates wisely, but in spite of scorn and opposition, without diso bectieuce, she had clung to him and trusted. Then camc the affair at the village. One dark night a party of roughs had broken into Squire Peasley's burn, tied together the logs of all his hens, nailed J iip "NYhitcfoot's stall, and then climbing the roof of tho ell had placed :i boari soaked in salt water over tho chimney. The old gentleman, who lived alone, was obliged to travel on a slippery ground to the nearest neighbor for help. The villagers were justly indignant, and for punishing the miscreants, but, no clew to them could be found. Will was away trom home that night, and suspicion rested on him as one of the party until ho could boar it no longer and decided to go away. It seemed but yesterday?their parting in the old trysting place. Will had slipped the tiny gold band lie wore upon her linger?it seemed but a thread of gold now?asking her to wear it until he came back. "For," said he, "I'll never conic lr.ck till I can offer you a name and a home. Somehow the devil lias had possession of me lately, but bad as I am, I would scorn to do what they accure me of? torture a feeble old man. While you believe and trust me, there ara plenty who do not." And with a last "Goodbye, my Both," he was gone. When the lirst letter c uno addressed to Miss Beth Allen, in Will's round, boyish hand, Mr. Allen frowned and his wife scolded hut wlion slio wna f?~.r stopping the correspondence ut once, he said: "There, there, mother, let the girl write to him if she wants to; she won't do him any harm, and 1 can trust her for a true Allen not to go far out of the way." So the matter had dropped, and for live years'Lizabetli's letters were received without comment; then they ceased suddenly and unexpectedly. For months 'Lizabcth watched the mails with anxious face. Mrs. Allen shook her head with an "I told you lie didn't amount to anything," whenever there was no one but her husband to hear,and Mr. Allen waited in silence. Time docs murli toward healing such wounds, and live years had made it seem more like an unpleasant dream than a reality, when the news of Will's return v-MiiiiT, uiitiivciiiii^ iiiuiiiuriuH 01 omcr days.' For oncc Mr. All on was weather wise. The snow had fallen through the night, covering the earth as with a mantle, the feathery flukes continued to coma lazily down until just beforo 12 o'clock, then there was a rift in the western sky, and when the old yellow sleigh stooil at the door the sun shone as bright as ever. | "Be careful, father, and don't let 'Lizabeth get cold waiting for you," was Mrs. Allen's parting injunction as she came to the door to sec them off. There was just wind enough to lift the newly fallen snow and send it in little whirls to lie sparkling and glistening a few yarils from where it had fallen. Robin was in excellent spirits, and Mr. Allen declared, as ho drew up in front of the village postotlice, that the distanca never seemed so short. HT"? -1- 1-- -? "? - j-Miiw tuo iuuu cioiu nrounu you, darter, and don't get tired waiting. I've got to bargain with Sam Chaso about that stove, but I'll be quick as I can; then we'll drive down to Btirnhain'j and get the book you mentioned." With this and an extra pull t#? Robin's blanket, Mr. Allen was gono. "Father was right, tlio old sleigh is moro comfortablo than the new onq,* 'Lizabeth thought as she nestled down in one corncr, drawing tho robe moro close ly to keop out tlio puffs of -wind that tried to find entrance at all corners. While tucking the robe between the cushion and the side of the sleigh, her lingers touched something smooth like paper. "One of father's old receipts; lie's so careless," she thought, with a fond smile, as she drew it forth for inspection. But a glance was needed to show her mis-; take. It was a letter yellow with age, unopened and addressed to herself in the handwriting she knew so well. She j could scarcely trust her eyes, but there j was the fumilinr postmark?San Fran- j cisco?and she was just leaning forward j to read the date when a gust of wind j taking it from her hands deposited it ait the feet of a gentleman who was' passing. She dared not look up, but in a moment he was handing it toward her, saying: "Is this your property, Miss Allen?" At the sound of the voice, so little changed that she would know it anywhere, the hot blood rushed to her face, and she had scarcely courage lo reply: "I think so. I never saw it before." She felt the keen eyes search her face, j and there was a touch of scorn in the question that followed. "It is an old letter addressed to you, and you never saw it befcre?" She felt that she must vindicate herself, and her answer came full and I clour: "I just found it in thj old slei^li. I do not know now long it lias lain j there." llo glanecd again at the letter; it j must be the same one; he knew the date so well. The tone was almost eager j now. "You never saw it before, Beth? You did not receive it, my last letter, anil leave it unanswered?" "Could you doubt me, Will?'' She was looking him in the face now. "I might have known better, but you wore always so punctual, and when 1 | received no answer to my last letter, 1 was too proud lo write and ask you tlu j reason, i uiougnt you ti:i<i given me up . for someone elte in li . Can you forgive me for niv want of con 11* - i dence?'' Hut lie needed not words for answer. When Mr. Allen came hurrying back the sleigh ha 1 two occupants. It was some time before they could explain affairs to his bewildered inind,but when light began to dawn he exclaimed : "It was that Jim; he's so e.ircl.'ss!i Lost a letter for me once." Will was persuaded to accompany j thvin home, an I it was a very mrrry party that surprised Mr*. Allen by their early appearance. As soon as possible Mr. Allen hurried his wife off to the kitchen to unravel the mystery, while Will and Eli/ibeth read and re-read the old letter by the light of the hickory lire. What Hath Miller would say wan a source of much anxiety to Mrs. Allen, until one day Will remarked, much to her peace of mind, that lluth had been engaged for some time to a friend of his in the West?a gentleman she met some years before while visiting in the city.

Mexican Police. The Mexican police, writes Fannie B. Warde, are striking figures, c'.ad in 'brief authority" and briefer linen, with rusty, old-fashioned cavalry sabres dangling about their heels and equally antique-looking pistols pendent Jrom their belts. The City of Mexico has an excellent police system peculiarly it? own. At night there is a guard at every corner. He never patrols the streets, however, but with a lantern that he puu ; in the centre of the intersecting avenues, and then retires in to a convenient doorway and silently tits there until relieved. As a consequence, a row of lanterns may always lie seen down the middle of every street. Besides the usual sword and revolver, each night policeman at the Capital carries a club and wears a blanket. I The roundsman who patrol the streets look like cavalrymen, each well mounted and carrying a carbine and sabre. On the principle that "it takes a rogue to caicu a rogue," mcso -Mexican guardians of the peace sliouid he the best in the world; but it is not always conducive of feelings of personal security (c know that an ex-murderer or robber stands guard outside your window, whc is thus serving out the sentence for his crime.

Statesmen, Soldiers, Jurists and Poets in the I_'st. Jjifo Arn ng' tho Peon? Who Work iu the Etaciandas and Bail elm. A City of Mexico letter to the Chicago Ilcrahl mentions sotne of Mexico's civil izeu iiuiians who nave achieved uistinclion. Among tliem arc the late patriot, President Juarez; the present President, General Diaz; the Indian judge, Altimirano, who is also a poet and historian; K-unorez, mi Indian scientist, and others. Continuing, tho correspondent says: I might mention a score of "learned" Indians who would he an honor to any country. For the present I desire only to refer to "the short and simple annals of the poor;" to the obscure mountaineers and peons, because the characters of these lowly people are rarely known or studied by tourists, or else when not described ns "stupid brutes," are depleted as "savages." I admit that great numbers of the "Populacho" or lower class of Indians in the largo cities are idle, lazy, dissipated and worthless, but the wonder is that centuries of Spanish oppression did not brutalize them still more. These people, however, are very different from the peons, who perform all the lab>r of the haciendas and ranches and work on the railroads. Throughout therural districts the Indians are sober, industrious and extremely honest. In the "pueblos" or tribal settlements there are soma communities which are models of virtue and industry. Only twelve leagues from this capital there is a large Pueblo up in Ihe mountains which is governed by a "Council of Twelve," formed by six aged "wise-men" and six "venerable matrons." No cure or priest is allowed there, although about two centuries ago Jesuit missionaries did manage to i ll ;et and entrance and iinally taught the Indians to believe in the existence ot an omnipotent God, a self-sacriticing Redeemer and a "(ircat Mother." This belief they still retain; nevertheless their relish).? is partly that practiced by their (Minnie ancestors and is also imbued with some of the I milder Aztec superstitions. In fraternal love and Christian charity these mountaineers surpass us?for example, every Saturday each able-bodied I man. woman, ltowii bov anil <rirl leaves Wis or her grounds or umiuI avocations i ** i ami all, under the directum of "the j venerable fathers and mothers," devote ! that entire day to the cu'turo of the j lands belonging to the widows and j young orphans, or else to laboring for j the benefit of the old, sick, blind and helpless member.* of the community. In order to attain the dignity of "patriarch" a man must submit to "a judgment," or a review of all his past life, and will I oniy be clected if, upon strict Invcstiga- | lion, it is proved that during youth, and ! eurlv manhood he has been honest, j laborious, and truthful. A matriarch must be a n spectab'.e woman who has brought up a large faini ly j properly and has never been known to I steal, or to have been addicted to lying or gossiping. Through the Jesuits these Oltonic ! Indians long ago learned the existence of a great city, which replaced Tenochtitlan, the far-famed capital of the Montczumns, and at times Home ambitious youth yearns to seek fortune there; or, perchance, some father of a large family, fearing that his allotment of land will not support all, is willing to allow his eldest or sccond son to go out into the world.

For year-, says General Badeau, writ in<X about General Grant, his unwilling ness to make a speech was curious. Whei lie was nominated for the Presidency h declared that he had neither the powc of publ c speaking nor the disposition t< ac(|uire it. In the lon?j series of recep tions that followed him everywhere afte the close of this war, not more than tw or three words were ever extorted froL him in reply to encomiums and even a lu lation such as few men have heard ad dressed to themselves. I was once traveling with him by railroa 1 during the lieigh of his early populari.y. Wherever tin train stopped it was surrontideil by ar dent and patriotic throng*. Ilis silcnc had now become celebrated, and woman in the crowd cried out: i( want to see the man that lets the womc: do all the talking." At another time his youngest son Jesse, then a boy of only 7 years, cam out 011 the platform when the cries for "speech" were loudest, and his futhe was as silent as the Sphinx. The la< looked first at the mass of enthusiast! people before him and then at the trrea soldier by his side, and inquired: "l'.ipii why don't you speak to them?" Bu Grant remained mute, and Jesse at las cried out: "I can make a speech, i papa can't." The shouts instantly wen up: "A speech from Jesse! A speec from Jesse!" Then there was a husl and the child began in his treble voic< but without a shade of the embarrass ment his father would have felt: Tlio boy stood on the Impiiing deck.

Similar habits have )r been noticed among .some savage races: r_ and traditions arc preserved among many people of a time when family , bonds did not exir.:. But truces of more durable family bonds between r_ monkeys of the same blood seem to exist among the chimj>an/.ees and gorillas, j where the appearance of particular and j exclusive alfjetion is combined with rivalry with the members of other famiv lies.
