You might never have heard tell' 'bout Gaffer Clymo, as was a Cornish man to right an' didn't come to Devonshire afore he turned 60 year old. But then 'twas that he took up a 1 farm 'pon the skirt o' Dartymoor an' made shift to live theer, Ti a mazing thing to me that a chap hould turn 00 and still bide a bahelor, but to 'twas with Thomas Clymo; an' when tha women folk laughed at un an' his curious ways, he said them laughed best as laughed last, an' that as he'd done very well wi'out a wife for more than half a century, lie reckoned a he'd go to Heaven a bachelor; if 'twas awnly for an example to that sort man. Hut ue caan't flaut the she folk, you mind, and as if 'twas judgment 'pon the auid bHd, be hanged if a gul didn't prove too much for un after all. A mere slip of a maid not turned 30; an' she fixed un wi' her ways an' misty-colored eyes an' quiet fashion of behavior, till he corned to think, after all, theer was wan woman as might be well to have about the house. A poor orphan was Mary Masters, but knawed which side her bread was buttered as the thought, poor fool; an' she caught old chap same as you catch a trout pon a hook, an lean un captive to the altar, in Bible phrase.

From that time forrard her lines woe cast in. oneasy way, for Clynio ntver forgived her for trying to best un, an' never forgived hisself for marrying her. Things went from bad to worse- till it grawed to a scandal, an' folks passing the farm would often say theer was sounds theer day an' night more like a menagerie of furrin tigers- than a Christian home. The clmps as worked for Clynio telled the same, an' I think the poor, wretched gai, as had taken auld man for better or worst, often wished her cake was dough again. But 'tis a thing not ifl.si'.y ondone; an' the woman took to drink to drown her trouble; an' Ciymo, by all accounts, never kept her short, but often' pressed her to have another glass when her'd took too much a'reariy.

'Twas a poor come-along-of-it anyways, an' the mad, broken-hearted wretch at last tut her uwn thread an' went out of it in a very tragical fashion. Clynio, he oped his eyes wan maniin' wi' no more peace an' goodwill to men in his breast than usual, an turning round to cuss his lady, which he always done when he woke from habit, found as her'd gone from his side, an' the bed was up he went down house, an' then there runned in a man to say as dreadful things had hap- pened in the orchard. Theer they found poor Mary Clynio 'pon the "Tom Putt" apple me sorry fruit, 1 do assure 'e. Her'd hanged herself to a gert crooked limb, but her feet was awnly four inches off the ground; so Clymo said after. However, her'd Hone, an' the man ate his beef an' pudden wi' a thankful heart.

An' this is wheer the truly wonnerful part of my story do begin, 'cause many a wife's took her life an' many a man's thanked his luck to be single again. Hut who'd have guessed that after such a black spell of marriage that anointed auld fool would ever want another woman? An' seeing the fashion of life as Mary had to sutler, who could have supposed as any other femaie creature would have been daft enough to take the place she'd killed herself to escape from? But theer 'tis; female human nature do rise to any fantastic folly when there's single men about; an' a widow woman, by name of Anne Sage, set her cap at Clymo. A very cunning, middle-aged party, as had seen the rough side of life and knawed the ways of ancient men. 'Twouid take a month of Sundays to tell 'e all her and how little by little shegot around that snarling old hunks. Hut she done it in than a year; an' they was married in open church: Five years them two lived fairly friendly by all accounts; hen they got bit onder the weather, an' the man lost lot of his money in something as turned oat bad; an' the woman took poorly an' was said to be gwaine down the hill fast.

Anyway her power over un grawed less, seemin'Iy, for he took to drink in his turn a very serious failing in a man near 70 years of age. 'T'was the loss of his money, no doubt, for money wasthe awnly (od as ever that man knawed, an' when his God deserted him theer weern't nething for un to fall back 'pon but strong waters. About 70, ai I say, an' being grave-ripe, or threescore an' ten, in Hibie phrase, the rascal took a new lease of wicked nes, an' beginned to get hisselt' very generally hated by rason of his cruelty to all as had anything to do wi' un, beasts included. Old woman began to fade away like the grass of the field, in Bible phrase. Anyway, the poor sonl'ssecret hope, to outlive the old man and benefit by what he'd got to leave, sinked away from her, and nought but the awfulest misery was left to her forlorn days.

Her life was hid from all eye, go none 'cept Cod A'mighty will ever knaw, till judgment, how much she suffered. Ten years she bore with him, an' told a neighbor is she prayed every night 'pon her knee 'or death to come along an' take one or 'tother of 'em. For her part she didn't care a rush whether 'twas him or her, for life Weern't nothing but a long ache for her, an' 'twas awnly when sleeping she was content. But the man seemed so tough as the roots of a oak tree. Brandy couldn't kill un, seemingly.

The end corned after an' his wife hail been talkiV 'bout his fust wife, an' he'd told her in his hatch-mouthed way that her couldn't do better'n follow such a glide example. For theer was a fascination 'bout that "Tom Putt" tree, an' poor auld woman often went an' had a look at it. Then coined the dreadful thing her done; an' day, sure as sun rose behind the gray of the orchard, it touched that poor creature, wheer she swung with all her troubles ended. When they told auld man, he rose up out of his bed an' dragged, on his breeches wrong side front, "A shy bearer, that 'Tom he said, in his devilish way: "but when he do bear a crop, be clanged if 'tisn't a good un!" An' further, just that you may knaw that full the airth be of evil, 'tis said that after that most unfortunate horrible thing, auld Clymo got axed by no lens than 13 chaps for cuttings Trom his "Tom Putt" tree. An' they was married men every man jack 'em.

'Ti a purty bad world down 'our way, no doubt. Hut the chap didn't get no good out of his ill-wisht tree, Fm glad to tell 'e, for theer corned certain young youths by 'night, an' they chopped down that "Tom Putt," an' broke up every branch an' bough of un, an' didn't leave more'n would sarve to make matches. A very good riddance to a Chris tian orchard, I sen. An' that may or may not have Iwen the rason why wicked auld Clymo didn't lock around for no more wives. He lived till lie was aw ver 80; which shawed how them the Iard loves die young, in Bible phrase.

Perhaps the Cuban Constitutional Convention would work faster if its members were not paid by the day. Great Scott! What's the matter with the New York Tribune? It says we need more kickers. We are already a nation of kickers and knockers. The Emperor of Germany is likely to find out that prohibiting any public reference to a fool speech made by him is not the best way to get it forgotten. A spark cost the insurance companies in two hours, the other day; it was from an engine and it started a tire that destroyed the second largest elevator in St.

Louis. As was expected all mothers except the right ones suspected their sons of being mixed up in that schoolhouse afair a couple or three weeks ago. It is usually the case that the mother's boy that she knows would not do anything wrong is nearly always the very one that is going to the devil as fast as his legs will carry him. It pays sometimes to be a little suspicious. We want to impress upon the mind of the young man that no law was ever made or can be made that will save him from going to hell if he is bent on going there.

The young man who drinks whisky may be a smart man in some things but so far as drinking is concerned he is a fool, We haven't as much sympathy as we might have with all this sympathetic talk about the poor drunkard. If the young fellow understood that when he commences to drink it will mean he can't get a job and can't get into respectable society, and that if he gets drunk he will land on the rock pile if all these things were understood there would not 1)0 so many young fellows going to the devil on a fast trot as there are at present. Selected. Rev. J.
