Mr. Grant is a handsomo man, of

Not long ago ho was willing busily at

a largo basket on his artn entered the

clerks and Iho junior partners, rested
it on Mr. Grant's desk, and ejaculated:
"Won't yer buy some of these pateut

Mr. Grant did not look up from hit
writing, but waved ills left hand with a
stately gesture toward llm door.
"Mistor. won't yer bsvo some of these
patent collar buttons, ton ceuts apiece,
three for a quarter?" urged the intruder,
hi a louder tone.
Again Air. Grant pointed a dignified
forefinger toward the door without look-
ing up. Tho collar button merchant
watched him reflectively, and then
thoutcd at the top of his voice, "Patent
collar bullous—lino article—throe for
tweaty-live cental"
Mr. Grant pointed imperiously to the
door, still with au air of bolug too busy
to look ii)t to sen who was thus inter-
rupting him. But lie wut the ouly per-
son in tho ofllco who did not look tip.

stood beeido tho grave of that noble
woman.
11 was hero that she used to come
to think nnd to write, here she spent
many of tier Sabbaths.
"'i'his spot is my church." she said
to a friend, "and it is here that I wish
to iio laid." And so on the summit of
Clmyoiino Mountain, beneath summer
sun aud winter snows, she lies—alone.
No nionuineut marks the spot, but
the gravo la heaped high with small
stones which visitors havo laid upon it.
For cuoh stone taken, for souvenirs,
one or more is replaced by the person
who takes it. Hundreds of them hare
their names or some admiring sonti-
liient of the giver Written npou them.
I have heard (but can uot vouch for
I ho truth ol' it) that when she requested
to be buried there she also maue the
request that those who visited her
grave should lay u stono upon it. It
w.is an odd whim, I think, hutonethat
has been faithfully humored.
It is a lovely spot and tho surround-
ing scenery is solemnly grand, and
still that isolated grave. In lu lonli-
