BETTER THAX HE SEEMED. A quaint old town wan Hereford. Ttft

iMiibiingft wore antiquated and ita in-habitant*, olung HO tonaotouely to the traditions of their forefathera that no more •hatinate or exclu«ive set of land­owners could be found in the shire.

Scarcely more than 2,<)00 souls com-

[macd the population, but what they acked in numbers was balanced by the

e i treme respectability of those who lived and carried themselves as little lords among the tenantry. Hereford had its banking-house. To be sure, it was a diminutive appendage of the big concern in Liverpool, but Mr. Hand-hurst Tipton, M. P., resident partner, presided over its dignity and lived in the old brick mansion on the top of the hill, screened from the vulgar gaze by the heavy yew trees that formed a cor-don about his retreat. Hereford alHo had its established church, and its good viear, Dr. Stole, though an atiHtoro man on the church homilies, could, never­theless, at t imes be as decorously jolly as the worst of his parishoners, and was a rough rider when the hounds were in full cry.

The family of Mr. Sandhurst Tipton consisted of his wife and two daughter*. The former was a tall, stern looking lady, with enough dignity to have satis-tlcd the most exclusive aristocrat; while the daughters, Augusta and Cecily, to the digust of Iheir parents, most unac­countably had imbibed notions alto-father too plebeian for th'Mr nation and >irth. It was Mrs. Tipton who had in­

sisted on their being educated abroad, and it ever since find been to her a source of lamentation, ami her more as­tute husbaut1, who had opposed the scheme but nevertheless* yielded to his wife's wishes, never failed to remind her that the consequenco was the result of her own folly.

Mrs. Tinton knew this full well, therefore slie never sought to gainsay its truth, only she extenuated her mis take as best she could, reminded her lord that she was educated at the same institution whither she had sent her daughters, and had come out sans rr-proche.

Precept and expostulation seemed lost upon these wilful girls, snd they only laughed at the lectures they re­ceived, frequently replying by some club house phrase they obtained, heaven knows where. Two Loudon seasons had failed to eradicate the blemish of their characters, ami now Mr. Tipton and wife had resigned them-aolvps to the unhappy conviction that they must patiently endure that which they could not cure.

'the* sisters were out oue day on horseback, and, as was their custom, they were unattended by an escort. Augusta, who waa a dashing horse­woman, was riding near the edge of a wood that waa bounded by a thick thorn hedge. On the opposite side was a young man who had fallen asleep reading a book which was lying on the green sward. At a banter from Cecily, Augusta put her horse at the hedge and leaped him clean over it. A cry of pain immediately followed, and the young sleeper sprang to his feet, then stag gored and fell, with his forehead cut open by the hoof of Augusta Tipton's horse.

The daughter of Hand hurst Tipton possessed a courageous mind. She neither screamed nor wept at the con­sequence of her unfortunate prank.

•• Tie your horse and cl imb over here this iiiatntii," H!IO called to her sister ; 9* I believe Pve killed a |M>or fellow. Tlow perplexing this is, to he sure." She had sprung from her saddle, and knelt beside the bleeding man, whilf he was all iiucouscious of the fail tlngers which were twisting a cambric handkerchief about his temples.

Cecily, in conformity to her sister's summons, had scrambled through the hedge, and was doing what she could to bring the ntranger to consci­ousness.

•' He is Iwindsomo- don't yon think so, (Itiasy?" she naked, gazing on his pale face.

Her sister made no reply, hut clutched at her rhuiii/rcfU- and applied it to his nostrils.

It happened that Cecily at that mo­ment spied a letter lying on the ground, near the book. In an instant she had caught it up, and with womanly curi­osity was examining the superscription. It was postmarked Hrussells, and was directed to Moiis. Louis Hornier, Lon­don.

Cecily pressed her hand upon her brow, aa if in thought, and then handed the letter to Augusta. The latter looked sharply at the superscription, and then remarked ; " Oh ! that's it. How strange !'*

11 Where did we hear that name?** asked Cecily. " I am sure we have come across it somewhere.M

" In the newspaper," replied her sis­ter. M Don't you remember, a few days since, the announcement of Count Ber-nier'a son being implicated in that French plot, ami the flight of young Bernier to Belgium ?"

$t True enough." responded her sia-ter. " Wouldn't it lie romantic if our stranger and young Beruier were iden­tical r

Augusta pushed the letter in the young man's pocket none too soon, for he opened his eyes and gazed languidly at his fair companions.

" I waa asleep, mademoiselle," he n^ plied, in a low voice, t enough of the French establish his nationality.

A half hour later ami th sitting beneath a tree wil nier tell ing thorn the story

In one of the houses at ttie outskirib of Hereford, Louis Bernier!had fouiflt a temporary home with a s t i n t yeomjapt named Perry Hawks. There were v t » many reasons why lie desired obscuritfr at that moment, and not the least <5f f which w s to keep his father, jtHe Ooun in ignorance of his wherea \ortt*. therefore gayo an assumed n4me, whe occasion required it, and Augusta boldly charged him the son of Count Bernier, to fly his country, it is pn never would have revealed

haS as bein^f

d having able h e himself,

But the positive and unexpected man* ner of Augusta Tipton had t iken him at a disadvantage, and he surrendered at discretion, only stipulating that if they over met in the presence pf others they should know him as Mr. Lewie.

Shortly after the event just narrated a young man named Lewis appeared at the bank of Mr. Tipton and deposited several thousand pounds, at the same time presenting a letter of introduction from one of his London friends, who spoke of Lewis as the son of a die* tinguished gentleman, residing abroad. The banker offered Mr. Lewis the hospitality of his house, and invited him to dine. J

Lewis's complexion was habitually pale, but upon the present occasion tt was whiter than usual, and tha newly healed seam across his forehoad waa still visible in a crimson line. H i s in­troduction must have caused Augusta and Cecily some secret amusement. Be that as it mav, they never by Look or sign betrayed the thoughts that passed through their minds.

Every small community seems to be afflicted with one or more persons whose chief business seems tot be in discovering facts regarding their]neigh­bors hitherto unknown, and then, with­out loss of time, proclaiming them, to the discomfiture of those coneernjed. In the person of Thomas Delo^.g, Hereford had one of those enterprising individu­als. Moreover, he was the nepjiew of Sandhurst Tipton. The banker Iiad for years set his face against his nephew's manner of life, but as "blood is thicker than water," he could not cast bff his dead sister's child, so Tom had A carte blmuhc to his uncle's house, where he never failed to disgust his aunt and her husband by his slang of the race-course and the prize ring in his estirpation two of Knghtnd's most valued institu­tions, j

Mr. Tipton was sitting in his room at the bank when Tom entered.

" G o o d day, m i c e , " he said, flinging himself down carelessly on a sofaJ

Mr. Tipton rained his r j c s ^ a M t.**V coined his nephew in a commorjpla^e way. |

11 Who was that fellow you had up lo the house at dinner the other dayj?'

94 I am not aware that I haq any ' fe l low, '" answered the hanker,! with some severity of tone.

" Oh, you object to the tern^, do you ?" replied Tom ; " let me qualify by calling him a chap." .

" Quite as objectionable as youj* pre­vious expression, sir," responded his uncle. " If you refer to Mr. Ijewis, who has deposited in this bank^ and who brought me a letter of introduction from my friend Colonel Bran ford, I re­quest you to speak of him with more respect."

" Branford ! Bran ford !" replied Tom, •• why that's the name of the shooter who used to stop with ydu so often a few years past. By Jove,I fenow I had heard the name somewhere, i Did you notice his death in the Ponf / T

Mr. Tipton started from his seatj and grasped tho paper. Sure enough, Col. Brnnford had fallen dead at his club. Verdict, apoplexy. So sudden wa$ the news that the banker felt sick and was obliged to swallow some wine, ijran-ford and himself had been school fel­lows; in a few days he was to have Been him.

14 What were you going to say regard­ing Mr. Lewi*, Thomas ?" asked the banker.

" I was simply going to state that I have good reason to doubt that he is what he tepresenta himself, and per­haps if ( give you my reason you will come down from that high horse you are on and listen with more attention to what I have to say. Please tell mo the day that Mr. Lewis, as you call him, dined with you." }

" Let me see," replied the banker, running over the days in his mind- " it was last Friday week."

" Friday is an unlucky day to bet on a horse, whatever it may be on a man. Friday week, hey ? Well, Uncle Sand, for a week or more previous to his in trod net ion to mv cousins, they had n*ct him every few days, and as far as they were concerned I don't think an intro­duction was at all necessary

1 ' Do you feel much pain?" inquired I through the post, in tho handwriting Augusta. " I really cannot evpress BVqof Sandhurst Tipton, requesting a sus-sorrow at having been tpe author 011 pension of his visits to tho house, and

declining any further intercourse except upon business.

i By the same mail came a foreign letter for Lewis (whose retreat, it seems, had been discovered), g iving him intelli­gence of the death of liis father, and requesting his return to France, his family having scoured his pardon from the governor.

Notwithstanding the vigilance of Mr. Tipton and Tom b e l o n g , Augusta and Lewis had a final interview ; then he was seen no ngire,

A year had >a*sed away, and Mr. Tipton had ceased to remember Lewis , when he one day received a letter from *he Brit ish Ambassador at Paris, in-

i that Count Bernier. a dis-ttribkttan, a r that t ime in

the King's service, wee about t o visit England, and that he would have the

Sleasure of g iving him a letter of intro-uotion to Mr. Tipton. The banker read the communication

with feelings of pleasure. I t was al­ways gratifying to his vanity to be the recipient of such communications, n i s wife, to whom he exhibited the letter, at once began to plan a match for her daughter Augusta. The latter indulged in such hearty screams of laughter tnat the propriety of her mother was shocked.

It was arranged that a ffrand dinner should be given in honor of the Count's arrival. A malicious smile was ever playing upon the lips of Augusta, which both her lather ana mother attributed to a wrong motive.

In his old accustomed seat at the bank Sandhurst Tipton was sitting some months afterwards, when the card of Count Bernier was handed him.

• 'Show him in immediately," cried the banker, springing toward the door.

The next moment he had mechani­cally grasped the hand of tho Count, and the two stood regarding each other in silence. At length Mr. Tipton spoke:

•* How is this?" I believe I am look- j ing upon Mr. Lewis ?"

The Count smiled, and, sitt ing down j by the hanker, explained all that was mysterious in his first visit to Hereford, and completely satisfied the hanker of the propriety of all his actions.

Before leaving the bank Count Bernier had obtained Mr. Tipton's con­sent to propose to his daughter.

" Come down stairs," cried the bank­er, as he arrived at his door, absolutely forgetting for the moment his decorum, " come down here and see an old ac­quaintance.

+ + * * + * *

A few weeks later there was a grand time at the Tipton mansion ; every one was jolly, and none more so than Dr. Stole, as he fussed ami fumed about the rooms. Augusta was to marry a nobleman, after all. Her mother'a cup of joy almost ran over. Tom Delong waa there, but he did not call the Count a " fellow," and suspended his slang phrases, except in one solitary instance. Wiwtfi h'« arnai a»lr«*l him what he thought of the ceremony, he replied, " Well, the parso i gave them a fair start, and, I think, on a square heat Gussy will come out ahead."

State Prison Discipl ine,

The inquest into the death of a con­vict named Williams, whose death in the State Prison at Jolict, 111., whioh waa recently reported has closed. Wil­liams was reported for neglect of duty and persistent shirking.

The physician in charge, who was ap­pointed last June, was a dentist. So well aware were the Commissioners who appointed him and himself of his ignor­ance that the previous physician was asked to stay and teach him.

Any sudden shock to such a man was dangerous, yet the physician ordered him to be bathed at seven A. M., after he had passed eleven hours on the stone floor of a "sol i tary."

A Mania for Rhyming, Max Adeler writes: They have a

woman in Toledo, it is said, who cannot speak without rhyming. In all her conversation about the house, even in her orders to her servant-girls, she uses poetry as the vehicle of her orders. The rhyming mania seized her after a severe fit of sickness, and now she cannot get rid af it. The effect of this, when she is attending to tho ordinary duties of her household, must often he remark­able. It is, we suppose, something like this: *• It would KIVA m*, Matilda, m o r m o n s rolinf, If you'd cook thoao potato** and Iwanw with

How dare you make such an assi^^rwlll b a v e the country lion ?" cried the banker, springing 'to l

his feet, and ns icei, ana confronting his nephew with face alternately white and red.

"Because I interrupted the meeting myself," replied Tom, with the utmost coolness ; " and I dare assert anything that I know to be true ; but if you don't believe it, why, of course it don't make any difference to me. Good-by," and he arose to leave.

" Stay !" responded his uncle, " tell me all about it."

Tom seated himself Again, a;id gavl* a detailed account of the t imes he had seen Augusta and Cecily meet Lewis. Each time they met near the scene of the accident by the wood. Tom never heard any conversation between them ; he was up among the trees gett ing grubs to go fishing.

Mr. Tipton left the hank earlier than usual that day, and on his arrival home his daughters were summoned to his presence, and requested to give an ex* planation of their previous acquaint­ance with Iicwis.

In a short, decisive way, Augusta re* bited the accident that occurred on her leaping the hedge, and frankly admit­ted that both herself and Cecily had met Lewis even as Tom Delong had re­ported.

Ventilation of Buildings.

What a mistaken economy it is to shut up the houae ns close as possible during this cold reason and fire up the furnace. A gentleman has just asked me if I don't think that nn air-tight stove is a more economical way of heat­ing a room than an open grate? Cer­tainly not ! I told him. Nothing can be economical, even in a dollar point of view, which is not healthful. In the caso of the poor laborer, even, what is his capital? A clear brain and good muscle. He, of all men, can least afford to poison h s blood with the close, over­heated air of hot furnaces and close stoves. It is only the devotees of fash­ion, both ladies and gentlemen, that can afford to live, move and have their buing in unventilated, overheated houses. As these creatures are of no possible use to anybody, as they only consume and waste, I enjoy seeing them poisoned and flushed in the stfling atmosphere of a close, furnace-heated house.

Of all the devices for ventilation, nothing equal* the open grate. No working family can afford to be with­out it. It will contribute additional health and working capacity enough to more than make up for its additional cost. I am far from being an extrava-

ffant man, but l iving where wood is ourteen dollars a cord, I have in my

study an old-fashioned open wood fire with andirons, and I am sure that I can make no more economical invest­ment.

A grate with coal and a good draught is a very good substitue, and much cheaper.—Dio Ltwi%% in To-Day*

The Country Editor, The wide dissemination of the metro­

politan prcHH by means of railroad fa- | ci l it ies has not lessened the imtjoitaneo | of the country newspaper in its own district, says Harprrn Wrckly, A thousand rural events of strictly local interest, which never find their way into the city newspapers, are duly chronicled in its columns for the infor­mation of its patrons ; and its sum­mary of news, made up from exchanges, is the only means by which many of its readers receive intell igence of what is going on in the great world outside, aa there are still many villagers and farm­ers in districts remote from great cities who take only the local paper, except possibly some religious journal. Within two or three years the labor of editing country newspapers has been greatly diminished by several news as­sociations established in New York and one or two Western cities for the pur­pose of furnishing what are technically termed " patent ins ides"- that is, two pages of selections are made up and printed for each paper connected with the association, leaving the other two pages to be made up and printed in the country office.

The country editor in our illustration, and the Wrrkty g ives a picture of an editor in his sanctum, re­ceiving pay for his paper in pumpkins, potatoes, apples, turkeys, beets, etc., is not receiving a Chrismas present from a gratified and grateful subscriber, as some of ourreaders might suppose. He i i considering whether the products of rural industry displayed before him are an equivalent for the price of a year's subscription to his paper. It would seem to be liberal, but it must he cor.-sidcrcd that he probably received a great deal of the same kind of stuff, and that the payment of a little hard cash would be an agreeable variety. One cannot run a newspaper office on turkey, pig ami pumpkin alone. There are paper and ink hills to he paid, to say nothing of other expenses which must be settled with greenbacks. But tho young farmer is not likely to he turned away, and the country paper will probably enliven his fireside evory Saturday evening of 1874.

A Mixed Trial* A complicated case has made ita way

Up to the Supreme Court of Massachu­setts. Mr. Perkins, a tardy traveler, wanted to catch a tram that was start­ing out of Boston sooner than suited his leisurely convenience. He offered Mr. ( iage, a hackman, two dollars -to get him to the depot in time. Mr. ( lage did it, hut in doing so drove faster than the ordinance allowed, and was arrested. He argued that the oc­casion and tho extra compensation con­doned his fault, whereupon ho was also prosecuted for taking more than the regular fare. Competent counsel have fought his case to the cost of SKMK), and now the final decision is that lie must pay the fines originally imposed for charging an extortionate fare and fast driving.

Finances of the United States. In order io giv<* n | i r readers a clear

understanding of the financial condi­tion of the government of the Tinted States, and its expenditures and de­mands, we must revert, says the New York JfrrnM, to the rejH>rt of the Sec­retary of the Treasury at the meeting of the present Congress. The Secre­tary did not put the estimates of the fiscal year from June JW, 1873, to June 80, 1874, in a lump, but takes for his exhibit tho first quarter, and then the remaining threo ouart* Putt ing them together we and miscellaneous estimated expendi­tures, including public buildings, light­houses, and collecting the revenues, to ' *j>me he «0fi,r>77,2'.W ; for Indians, *8,508,-715 ; for pensions, $30,478, 156*; for the military establishment, including forti­fications, river and hart>or improve­ments and arsenals, $47,795,053 ; for the naval establishment, including ves­sels and machinery and improvements at navy yards, $27,702,451. ID addition to these sums there is *et down 1,100,-000 for foreign intercourse. This gives for the current expenses of tin* govern­ment, independent of interest on the public debt,$182,251,of>8. The interest on the debt is near about a hundred m i l l i o n s - t h a t is, on $1,218,72^,150, at six per cent in gold, $73,123,W8, and < n $503,478,800, at five per cent in gold, $25,173,040, and in addition the small amount of interest on tho three* per cent Navy Pension fund and the four per cent certificates of indebtedness. I^et us say, then, in round numbers, one ; hundred millions for interest on the debt. This, added to the $182,251,KM ! for current expenses, makes a total of $282,251,Gt;8. The interest on the Pa­cific railroad bonds, amounting to . nearly four millions, must be added, j Tho amount required for the sinking fund, which is estimated for 1875 ai •20,918,858, is not included. Inclu­ding the interest on the Pacific Kail-road !>onda, the revenue required for the fiscal year of 1873 74 amounts to a little over $.310.00(1,(KMI. The Secre­tary's estimate for 1874 75 is $319,11*8,- . 73fi. For the first quarjtcr of the pres­ent fiscal year the receipts from all sources were $81,853,492, and the esti­mated receipts for the other three-quar­ters, were $187,100,000. The total is $208,953,492. To this must lie added • the premium on the s a b s of gold, which for the year will hardly amount to more than five or six millions.

Thus we see that the actual and esti­mated expenditures exceed the income forty millions to forty-five millions of dollars at least.

About Thumb*.

We suppose that all our readers know that man wonjd not be what he is with­out the thumb. Thip little fact has been so impressed uj>on us from our school days that we arc not likely to forget it. Without the thumb for a lever, we would l>e unable to bold anything tightly, and most of the inventions of our era would he useless, not to speak of the enormous general power that would be lost. Let us accept the fact of having thumbs, then, and be thank­ful ami rejoice over our Darwinian friends, the apes. We did not know, however, until we saw it in print lately, that the thumb represented intell igence and affection. l£orn idiots frequently come into the world without thumbs. Infants, until they arrive at an age when intellect dawns, constantly keep their fingers folded al>ove their thumbs, but they soon know l>etter, and as the mind develops, rt-cognize tho dignity and ufefulness of the despised digit. At the approacii of death the thumbs of the dying, as if impelled by some vagiie fear. seek refuse under the lingers, ana* wnen thus found are an almost certain announcement of the end. So, m leaving this world, it would aevin that our li'inds, in their last desire for movement, assume, with our grow­ing unconsciousness, the same sugges­tive j>owition in which the hands of the new born babe, with faculties all dor­mant, first shape themselves.

The Man Who I>oes \ o t Succeed.

This beautiful extract is from the pen of Hon. (Jeorge S. Hi l lard:—"I confess that increasing years bring with them an increasing respect for men who have not succeeded in life, as those words are commonly used. Heaven is said to 1M* a place of those who have not succeeded on earth; and it is sure that celestial grace dews not thrive and bloom in the hot blaze of worldly pros­perity. Ill success sometimes arises from a superabundance of qualities in themselves good- from conscience too sensitive, a taste too fastidious, a self forgetfulness too romantic, a modesty too retiring. I will not go so far as to say, with a living poet, that • the world knows nothing of it* men,* hut there are forms of greatness, or at least excel-, lence, which * die and make no signs;' there are martyrs that v iss the palm Wnt not the stake; heroes without the laurels, and conquerors without thetri-< uxnph.",
