OUR SHORT STORY A PHILOSOPHER. .A.1'<!Itit"M Plumtro wu wealthy, eccentric, °°OiM«red himself wise. The fact was, he te th« reputation of a philosopher, and ^^uently endeavoured) to shape his life f 0,di^rly. He never tired: of quoting his v°Hrite authors. Plato, Aristotle, and a lift centuries ago turn«d to dust, were Miliar in hie mouth as the cent, per cent. 4 ^oekbroker. I have said that Mr. I'lumptre *°oenttno, and lie certainly was entitled ^hia di#tinction, if "not to the one that was of his life. Poaseesed of great ^a<i numerous calls upon hia invpulsee: Ibut he never gave a penny ap j. Wgar without first insisting that the o.lc>4nt was a worthless fellow, who could employment if ih-e wished, &c.; then j^r his haruil in hris pocket and sent the lr n away happy. ,a subscribed to all the charity schools, :Iri"g' they were humbugs, and did no e good. Every church got a good round d4,k 0'11.. of Mr. Plumptre, but he never ^eit doors, though he rented and ^°r » pew in every parish. He had old- *bo cystoma, which he adhered to with l*a Pertinacity. In hie lar^e and com- ««fy 6 ^naion, which he inhabited with his (for te was a bachelor), he would never » but always had wax candles. A ^hJ^^ted, and a heavy bra## knocker, os turifciit as gold, ojpuaezitod tix« door. He rarely went upon journeys, but when compelled to do so he used his travelling carriage, and it was hie boast that he had never been in a railway train. His costume was -as antique as his notions. He wore an old-fashioned snuff-coloured coat with broad lapels, knee-breeches, buckled1 shoe,?, a-nd a hat with an immense brim. Such was Archibald Plumptre, the rich man and philosopher of Middletown. Mr. Plumptre had but one relative on earth —a nephew, named Leonard Gray. Mr. Gray led a httppy and oomfortaible life; he didn't do anything in particular but amuse himself, and he was in the prime df youth. His uncle, who supplied him with unlimited means, loved him as dearly as if he had been his own son; but this did not prevent him from finding fault with him upon every imaginable subject. He wiehed Leonard to be a philosopher like himself, and ae 'he had given him a splendid education, and he was possessed of srreat talents, the old gentle- man saw no reason why his nephew should not wear his mantle after he had departed for the other world. "You must write books," said Archibald one day, when, in a testy mood, lie was lecturing his nephew for indolence. "Write books as I have done. Your country calls upon you for exertion; seek to distinguish your name; remember my example; give yourself up to study; be wise and great. See what a. book I have written. 'The Law of Nature and the End Thereof.' "And who ever read your book?" asked Mr. bnY. in (xn inquiring way. "Everybody, everybody," shouted Mr. Plumptre, growitig red in the face and thumping the floor energetically with hie cane. "Every- body who has any brains. Those who have no brains I don't expect or wish to read such matters. They couldn't comprehend them if they tried. The Rev. Job loss told me only the other day that my book was the most wonderful production in literature that had been given to .e world this century, and the Rev. Job Foss is one of the few men that comprehend the object and power of philosophy." Leonard Gray emiled incredulously, for he knew that his uncle had recently given the Rev. Job a round sum of money to complete the building of his church, and this had occurred just after the parson's panegyric on his uncle's book. The Rev. Job knew lhJrr to •deal with philosophers." By dint of talk and scolding, Mr. Plumptre at length got his nephew to agree to write a book, and, moreover, he promised) -hat he would become a philosopher if it was in t'm. In an evil hour Leonard Gray made the procure, but he frequently did 'things unpleasant to oblige 'his uncle, »o he consoled himself witlh •the thought that he would give pleasure to one who had always loved him, no matter how much annoyance he might personally feel. Mr. Plumptre was delighted; he posted in haste to the Rev. Job Foss, and explained to him what a wonderful young man Leonard Gray was, how muoh mind he possessed, and how great was hdis ambition to help the world with his knowledge. The Rev. Job -aw the tihing in the same light that Mr. Plumptre did, and predicted that Leonard Gray was aloiie I worth to wear the honours tha.t hie uncle would bequeath him. That morning the wily Job fot a fat rcll of bank-no tee from Mr. Plum.pL > pocket to purchase a library for his Sunday- School. From the day that Leonard Gray decided to turn philosopher, he shut hi's doors against his friends and retired to study, renouncing all social intercourse with the outer world. He commenced to d'iet on herbs, and used water instead of wine. Mr. Plumptre was not prepared for this, and remonstrated against this severe regimen. Leonard was fixed in his purpose, however, and showed his uncle p;ccd authority from the ancients for his course, so Mr. Plumptre, confronted by his own authors, bad to yield. Before the year had expired Leonard Gray composed a work on a new school of philosophy. At first his uncle frowned at eome of the doctrines, but the Rev. Job declared they were bold, novel, and startling, with brood, deep, and unique ideas, so Mr. Plumptre was once ftg-ain happy, and the Rev. Job's parish none the worse for the praise bestowed on Leonard' Gray. The next work that Leonard Gray produced was a volume of philosophical poems. His I friends read them and insisted on beholding the author. They swarmed about his house and would not be refused admittance. They wanted once moreifcp behold his face, and pro- bably smell hits flefh-pots, for he used to give good dinners before he turned philosopher. Overcome by their importunities, he opened his doors, and they rushed into his house t o behold him. He received their greetings with shyness a-nd an awkwardness of sympathy, for they appeared no longer as the friends of a year before, they eeeaned afraid of committing themfcelve* in the presence of so wise a. mw, and the old cordial shake of the hand and happy I smile were absent. It seemed to Leonard Gray as if the wall had grown up betwen his companions and him- self, and he groaned as he recollected what he was and what he was striving to become. He I hiad pleased no one but bio3 uncle, and certainly (by cutting him- self off from the society of his companions he had rendered himself unhappy. The Rev. Job Foss was about the only person besides Mr- Plumptre who saw a great future for Leonard Gray. Stale, ridiculous theories and flat poems never could' perch a man on the summit of fame. So thought Leonard Gray as he turned over in his bed "nd counted the ticking of the clock, through the l.*ig, weary hours of the night succeeding the visit of his friends. K 0, no, he wasn't modelled for a philosopher. All this thing must be brought to a termination, He would i-eek hLs uncle a.ud tell him that his effort had been a failure, thnt the days off philosopfcfo^' had parsed away, that this was too practical an ag* for theory. Men, to make their mark, must act, not talk. Mr. Plumptre heard his nephew with more patience than might have been expected from one of his temperament. j "So you think you have made a laiii.re?" he said. "Something very near to it," ,-eplied Leonard. "Believe me, my dear uncle, I have endeavoured to adopt your theories and emulate ycur example, but when I reflect how far short T have come otf your fame I am convinced that a philosopher like yourself i« only produced c'ce in a great while. You must vear ti e honour alone; I Ottn .Kerer be worthy cf you in that line." Archibald Plumptre's face brightened as he spoke: "You are correct, Leonard, quite correct. ?.'en like me not fqunc in the hedges. The Rev. Job FOBB ttihsks so, and you know k«* is an aoute &iserr«r. Go back to y«'ir •:«, and I'll stick to my nnilosophv. I shall write I another book, and the Rev. Job shall reviee it. Open your house, Leonard, feast, make marry and marry, if you are fool enough to trust a woman. Your old uncle will furnish you all the means you require, but I know you will always revere my memory, and you will publish all my manuscripts, particularly my essays on 'Life and its 1.T ses,' after I am gone." "Indeed I will," replied Leonard; "good, kind, true uncle that you have ever been to me." "Say no more," replied Mr. Plumptre, wiping h:e eyes with his ooat tieeve. "I had hopes that vou had ambition, but it's all past. I was wrong in supposing that you could be a philosopher upon command. The race is almost extinot; I shall perhaps be the last." LeoMrd Gray married, and, although his uncle sneered at his weakness, he provided him with every comfort he could desire. Shortly after Leonard's marriage a fire broke out in Mr. Plumptre.'s house, and so rapid was tha conflagration that he had barely time to escape with his life. The only thing Mr. Plumptre* deplored was the lo-s of his manuscripts, which had been the labour of his life. These he could never replace, This weighed so heavily on his mind that his j health began to fail, and he was one morning found dead in his bed. So the world got but one book from the pen of the philosopher of Middletown, and that it refused to read.

LIGHTING AT LLANELLY, I At a meeting of the LianelJy Chamber of Commerce on Friday night a Letter was read from the borough council to the effect that the question of improving the gas supplied to the town was receiving their attention.—Mr. Fred Poweil did not think this was a satia- I factory reply at all. Tht gas supplied to the town was disgraceful, and it was lrgh time that the council called upon the gas company to fulfil the terms of their contract as to publio lighting. After all the oompla.ints, however, the only reply that the council gave was that the matter was receiving attention. He thought the council were falling short of their duty in this matter.—Mr. Tom Hughes, J.P., vigo- rously defended the borough council, and said "t the reply was all that could be expected. (Cries of "No.") Well, he repeated that he considered the reply was quite satisfactory. It was all very well to talk about prosecuting the igas company, but before that cculd be done an independent test of the quality of the light would have to be made. Any tesit made by the town sur- veyor would not hold good in a court of law. Con-plaints were made about the poor light in the chamber of commerce room, but that was I not t-hs fault of the gas, but was due to defec- I tive fittings.—Mr. William Bowen agreed with Mr. Powell that the borough couucil were very vcn.iss in this matter, and it was his intention to move a resolution calling upon the council I. to do all they cwuld to introduce eleotric light- ing into the town.—The discussion then I terminated.

HEAVY PENALTY AGAINST G.W.R. CO. AT CARMARTHEN At Carmarthen Petty Sessions on Saturday Police-sergeant William Thomas charged the Great Western Railway Company with com- mitting a breach of the Explosives Act. Mr. Ludford, solicitor, Lianelly, defended:—The I prosecutor gave evidence to the effect that on Sunday, the 8th inst., he proceeded with Police-constable Harris, of Conwil, to tile I storehouse erected 'by the company at their II No. 1 Quarry, adjoining the main line in the parish of Llanpumpsaint, and entered she building under the authority of a search war- rant, which the latter had procured. Inside the place he discovered 588 cartridges, com- posed of an explosive called tonite, weighing 2211b. lOoz. 6dr., although the building was not licemsed under the Act.—Mr. Ludford ad- mitted the offence, and in wxtenuation pleaded that the fact ef their being such a large quan- tity of explosives stored there was due to a mistake on the part of the officials at Swindon. The manager of the quarry had, in the first case, sent to Swindon for 100 cartridges only, but t'he official BIt the other end sent down 1001b. in weight of cartridges. Moreover. before this consignment reached the quarry, 200 more cartridges had been ordered, and owing to a similar clerical mistake another 2001b in weigh* were dispatched. Each oart-ridgt •weighed about 6oz. The oompany were making! arrangements to have a proper storehouse erected on the spot, and a licence would in due course be applied for. As it happened, tohere were no ouildings near to whica any damagp crwld be done. The particular explosive in we had been tested by an eminent authority, and it had been proved that it would not explode erven if a barrelful of it was set on fire, or if half a ton of iron was dropped on it. It would not explode at all except when brought into contact with another material of which the de&oaators were specially composed, —One of the cartridges was brought into court and examined by the magistrates.—The Benoh considered the charge proved, and inflicted a fine of jBlO and 41 3s. 6d. coats. i
