Waverly Magasine, Mr. Andronicus Trotter was a man of prodigious sympathies and a limited in- come. Notthathe was s pauper, by any means—if he wanted a new suit of clothes or & new hat he bought it with- | out any trouble and 3affored no financial inconvenien but he was unable to ameliorate the condition of the general public by founding some great eleemosy- nary institution, as he wonld huve liked t0 do, &0 he had to content himself with relieving individual cases of wretched- ness He was a prudent man, and his sym- ath os never outran his pocketbook, but it would have been better for the world had the pocketbook been un- limited. His many friends termed him a fortu- nate man, and perhaps he show that he was worthy of his trust by doing what he could to reiieve the army of unfortunates. It was of his life to found a “Retreat for Aged and Indigent Bachelors,” for the sym- pathies of Mr, Trottor were confined to his own sex. He was not a woman hater exactly, but he 1 a holy horror of womankind. He could not bring himself into contact with them without experiencing a sensa- tion of tercor. It might have been bashfulness or dif- fidence, but he could never rid himself of it, and by the time he had reached his vear he was a confirmed celibate. have been t the natural alty of man toward woman W latent in him, and would have been wkened had the right one come along, but no art of woman had ever struck a responsive chord in his breast, from which it might be inferred that the right one had become lost somewhere on life's journey, or else lingered unduly. In the twilight of a chilly November ternoon Mr. Trotter sat in his comfor le study and gazed into the fire, Ho was smoking a pipe, for he had sworn off cigars for a week in order to devoto to some worthy object the money that would have been spont in that direction, and on that afternoon he was wondering what particular object was most worthy of receiving the benefit of the special act of self-denial. “Iive dollars,” he mused, “‘wouldn't be much to start the fund for the bache- lor's retreat with—though that fund must be started some day, Mrs. Mulli- gan is able t0 go to work again, 80 the doctor informed me, gnd- Confound it! so T have to go around hunting _after misery? Isn't plenty of it right under'my nosos there is: John Simpson looked worried today and a man can't do much on $25 week, He 1 ) o aithful clerk, is John, 1 wondor if 1 eould help him? I'll see him tonight—1 will for a fact,” and then the henevolent ereature began to build acres of hospitals and orphan asylums in the perishuble air. That evening after his dinner Mr. Trotter looked up the address of his clerk. It was asmall flatin a distant and not particulurly fashionable part of the town, but sympathy overruled all obstacles and the amiable gentleman started forth on his wission. It took nearly anhour to reach the street where John Bimpson lived, but when he reached it: Mr. Trotter was surprised at the geneval respectability of the iocality. Like many other people, Mr. Trotter imagined that the parts of his native town with which he, was not familiar wore not particularly pleasant places to live. Ho found the! number in due conrse and waited & moment after ring- ing for the door to open, whereupon he ascended to the third floor. ““Well, Simpson,” was his greoting as he came face to face with his clerk, who opened the door. John Simpson started as though he had scen a ghost. “Mr. Trotter!” he ejaculated in Jjust RIME IN HIGH PLCA ES! 1t is not strange that some people do wrong through ignorance, others from a failure to investigate as to the right or wrong of a matter. But it is strange, that individuals and firms, who are fully ware of tho rights of others, will por- sist in perpetrating frauds upon them High-toned, “wealthy manufrcturing firms will offer and sell to rotail mer- chants, urticles which thoy know to be infringements on the rights of proprie- tors, and imitations of well known goods. We want to sound a note of warning to the retailers to beware of such imita- tions nud simulations of “CARTER’S L1 TLE LIVER PILLS.” When they aro of- fered i you, refuss them; you do not want to do wrong,and you don’t want to lay yourself lizble to'a lawsuit.

A day or two later, while at his desk in the office, Mr. Trotter saw the front door open and a female figure ent Ina moment he discovered that it was an ex- residont_of Italy, soliciting alms, wh her husband played popular music of the last generation dn an organ outsido; sot Mr. Trotter think ing.

'hat afternoon a_carpenter erected a room in the back of the office, Trotter was easior: but evory was about to go out ho made a rvey of the offico t von forth, and then bolted for the h Mr 10l ful turing door, All the clerks wond come over the old man,” and boldly com pared notes after covery flying exit. Meanwhile the Bachelors' Retreat fund remained in its original state, and no money was added toits eredit. Mr. Trotter thought of this fact one aft noon, when he did all his fanciful and sympathetic thinking, and he also _re- memb, the money he had saved on swoear gars had not beon dis- posed o “By § he said, talking to a match safe in'‘the shape of an owl on the man- telpiece. (As the owl was saered to Minerva, it wonld have been mor propriste to have invoked that fair divinity. But Mr. Trotter was not wel read in mythology.) “I was going to give that money to Simpson—so | was.” He didn’t think of the theater tickets and the money expended thereon, but he called to mind a speceh that John had timidly made a few days before: **Bes- sio hopes you'll eome ‘around soon again, si and t red ‘“‘what bad ‘Tonight's the time," he said in re- sponse to therecollection, and that night again ho wended his way to the little third story flat. Fora wonder Mr. Trotter’s bashful- ness faded at the truly hearty weleome ho received from Bessie Simpson. 1t is true that John looked more embarrassed than he did on the night of the first visit, but Mr. Trotter put that down to his credit, and was as affable to him as a fellow elerk when the young lady was absent for a few moments, and gave vague hints of advancement which scemed to distress John more than ever. But the gayety and lighthearteduess of the young woman were wonderful. She sat near Mr. Trotter. and soon had him explaining at length his ideas for the Bachelor's Retrs i “Won't it be cried, as though it were a thing assured; and, in- deed, her listener was more sanguine than ever. “ButI think it is too bad, Mr. Trotter, that yon don't dosomething for old maids. When we get rich enongh, John and I, T am going to buy ground as near as possible to the *bachelors' home,’ if you have it built then, and erecta place for old maids,” Why?" quoth Mr. Trotter, with wonderful gallantry. *“You do not ox- pect to go there—while T hope to breathe my lust in my own institution,” he young ludy went off into a penl of laughter, in'which John joined feebly **No, n0,” she cried, as’soon as she was able, “I don't expect to die in any old maid’s home,” and then she laujrhed again heartily. Mr. Trotter looked puzzled, and then came to the conclusion that she must be engaged to some one whom he had not heard of, but Bessie, with woman's quick wit, fathomed his thought, S0 vou think I have lauched. “Well, I have, but it's only dear old John. Mr. Trotter chuckled at this,#irst, be- cause he thonght ho ought to pay some devotion to such a loving sisters ana ceondly, beeause somehow ho felf re- lieved that any future call he might wish to make would not be disturbed by this unknownoutsider.
