Oh, none so pretty ami proud as wel
They cheer and cherish us in our play
Oh, none so smilingly sweet as they!
And when a littlo our lives have grown,
Kach has n tahlo and room his own,
A waiter to fill his lull of fare,
A barber to cle.m and comb bis Inn.
Yes, we are Ilia p ti of men!
Ilic nuiinercd nets of men!
They show us, giyly dressed and proud,
To the eager eyes of the clamorous croud;
They champion us in tliu r.ittluii: race.
Tliey praise our beauty and iluer our pace;
They keep for us our family trees
They trumpot our names beyond the sens;
They hang oui portraits on the walls,
And paint ami garnish and gild our stalls.

"Tho buti'her s bill, papa !"
Outside, thu louists weie piping shrilly
among the blue cups of the morning glory

everything in ji How brightness. Within, the

down from thu world of polemics, as he stirnl
at the pietty, slender gill in faded i alien and
washed-out llhhnns, who stnnd beside huh
with an ominous looking pine of pipti in lui
band,
"Tho butehei's lull, pap.i," said Tolly I'lim;
"and nil's waiting, please."
"Hut, my deal" - the ptisiiu laid down bis

it riiuyli'd air "iio'iu hid no ImUliii's imat

"Yes, 1 know, papi, ' said Poll, knitting
her pretty blows; "but we oideud three

"1 ivmembci', my child -I leineuilici," sunt

"Yes, pip-i, tint's just what I loll him,"

"He is HL,ht, my dear," saitl the puson,
"and 1 am wiutig; but it is tliiough mi fault

Tolly I't'iin silently withdivw, with her
pretty blows still knitted, as if she weio

aproned mid bull), stood at the dooi, a hung
impersonation of the fato which Tolly could

"Well, miss!" sud tho butthei.
"Tap will attmd to it at his cailient ion

away under the anh of morning glory lines,
where the loeusts wire singing, and the pink

And Toll), with crimsoned checks and
keart beating with vague resentment, turned
back Into tho great sunshiny klUhvn, where
IJtbeth was swajmg iienously to and fro in
lie splint bottomtsl locker, with a week old
newspaper In her hand, her yellow hair catch
ing the sunbeams, like a coronal of gold, as
she rocked.
"Lisbcth," said the elder sister, austerely,
"arc tho wild grapes ready for preserving!"
"Wild grapes?" repeated Lisbeth, flinging
the newspaper into the window seat; "I
haven't thoutrht of them since you went away.
Oh, Polly, how I wish we were rich 1"
Polly advanced soberly to a flat w ickcr tray
of clustered grapes, full of subtle pel fume,
and (lusted over with pale, purple bloom, anil
began to separate them from their stems with
deft quick fingers.
"Why?" said she.
"I would go to New York and see this new
play," said Lisbcth, still swaying back and
forth in the splint bottomed rocker. "Olivia
was a country parson's daughter, and so arc
wc. I should like to see my own counterfeit
presentment on tho Btage."
"NonsenBe," said Polly. "You had a deal
better come here and help with these grapes."
"It's such wretched business to be pool!"
said Lisbeth. She was a sparkling little creat
ure, after tho humming bird type of damsel,
with yellow hair curling low ocr her fore
head, intense hacl brown eves, a small red
mouth, with dimples hovering shyly in its
neighborhood. "Just look at us, Tolly, you
and me, two girls of nineteen and seventeen,
that ought to bo enjoying ourselves, and hav
ing a good time, and here we arc washing and
scrubbing, and turning wretched rags of dyed
silk, and cleaning faded ribbons, and counting
every pounil oi rice ami every puuuu t ijieu
these wild cranes. Tolly, that ou and I gath
ered down by the edge of the swamp, wo
shouldn't venturo on the extravagance of pio
servintr them, if Mrs. Deacon lilodcett hadn't
offend to supply tho sugar on halves. Oh, I
lo so hate this lite! f.ven llnsket, the milch
er, thinks ho can insult us with impunity.
"Yes, aaid Polly, thoughtfully, "wo
mustn't order any more meat at present."
"lint Mu must live," flashed out Lisbcth.
"'fhero is salt m.aekciel," said Tolly, "and
eggs and vcgetablo soups, and Mrs. Tullctt
always sends us a nice cut of pork and soino
ircsli sausages when tliey kin tncir pig. , un,
wo shall get along somehow, Lisbcth; any
thing is better than debt."
Lisbcth looked up with sparkling eyes.
"Polly," cried jilic, "why doirt thev in
creased papa's s U.iry ? $ix hundred dollnis a
year is u shameful pittance for such a man as
ho is."
Polly shook her head over the grapes.
"Papa isn't a young man any longer, Lis
belli," sai 1 she, "and ho isn't as modern in his
ideas as Mr. Crocus."
"Hut ho is such a learned man," ciied out
Lisbeth, shaking the yellow mano out of hci
eyes. "And his sermons oh, Polly, they
make mo cry, they aio so deep and so solemn,
and go down into'one's heart so! Six hundred
dollars a )car, Polly, for such work and study
as that!"
"There is no doubt, said Tolly, sobeily,
"but that dug) men aie, as a general mle,
very much uudcipaid in this couutiy."
"I Bhall never marry a clergyman," cried
Lisbeth, with energy. "No, Tolly, never! I'd
marry a dust man first! For dust men get
their pay, and clcrgynieii don't and "
Lisbeth stopped short, scarlet and confused,
in this lhapHody of hers, for chancing to
glance up, she beheld in the door way a tall
and Bolcmu-faocd young man, with an umbiel
la in ouu hand and a traveling satchel m the
other.
"Wo don't want nil) thing, please," said
she, jumping at once to tho conclusion that
she beheld a book agent, or a vendor of patent
polish, or some such itineiaut tradesman.
"I big yom pardon," said the gentleman,
appauntl) as much embauassed as was she
herself; "I must have mistaken the bouse. I
was looking for the Hev. Francis Kenn !

"It's anothei" misxiouary, I'm sure," said
I.tshtth, unwittingly pulling down thu slteves
of hei bum 11 calico dlcss. "And I know he'll

a ginnace, which made Toll) 1 nigh 111 spite of
herself, "1 wish the race of missioiiaiies was

Tho couutiy parson looked mildly up fioni
the second paragraph of his "Thirdly," as
Lisbcth cainu iu, smelling of wild grapes, with
an aureole of ) ellow li nr about her fain.
"T.ipa, said she, "tlures a gentleman in

Lisbeth flounced out of th! room with
heightened color and quick impatient breath
"Pana'a an angel," said she to herself, "but

Polly sighed softly. "I shall have to take
the dried-cherry money," said she, "that I
was saving up for my Fall hat and gloves.
But it isn't much matter. I dare say I calf
manage very well with the old ones for a little
while longer."
"It's a shame 1" cried Lisbcth, vehemently.
"And to think how you toiled all those hot

Hearts,
There's no help for it, dear.'' said IVllv.
gently, "Ott your hat on quick there's no

"But it isn't fair, "protested Lisbeth. "Why
should all the traveling preachers and book
agents and mission collectors come here, and
cat us out of house and home ? Why don't
they go to Mr. Crocus !"
Polly smiled. "Hccause Mr. Crocus doesn't
make them welcome, and papa docs," said
she.
"I do wonder," cried Lisbeth, impetuously,
"if thero is any other race of men imposed

ter's straw flat, and twisted a muslin siaif
acioss her shoulders.
"Do make haste, dear," said she, in accents
of gentle entreaty, as she pointed upwaid to
me ClOCK.
Scarcely fifteen minutes had elansril W
Lisbeth came flying back, with yellow ti esses
streaming behind, and maiket basket in her
hand.
"There, Polly," ciied she, in the dear, light
voice of girlhood, as sho deposited a plump
chicken on tho table, "theio's your new hat;
and their," as, she laid down a packet of gio
ceries, "are v our cloves; ami hue. ' lattTinc
out tho potatoes, "is my hut chance ltir a new

"Lisbeth I"
"Well, but I do," bailed) letoitcd tlio girl,
as she turned to put au, i) liei hat. "And
Oh. Tol-ly!"
Polly tinned aioimd with a st.ait, it Un
changed tenor of her sister's voice.
"What is it, Lisbcth? You'ie not ill '
Lisbcth, with a glowing fate, pointed to the
nine woouen cupuo.iru in the wall, which,
extending thto'igh fiom pailoi to kitchen, iu
butler's pantry fashion, was used as a gcnci.il
icpository for books and papers. And then,
for the lii st time, Polly perceived that both
doors were slightly ajar.
"Polly," muttered the gill, hoarsely , "he
has htard evciy word ! He couldn't help it."
And flinging her hat iu one diicction. and hn
scarf in another, Lisbeth fled up the lunow
wooden stalls to her own room, and threw
herself, sobbing hysterically, upon the bid.
"It's my tongue," sobbed Lisbeth. "mi

warned me against giv ing loose to it; Polly al

Oh, dear, what must he think? How can I
ovti look him in the face?" And with this
doleful resume, Lisbcth buiied hei hot face in
the pillows, ami cried hai.lei than ever.
It seemed an age to her, but it was in ieab
ity littlo mote than half an houi, before Tolly
came fluttering up the stabs, like a sweet
browed guardian angel.
'Lisbcth," said she, 'Mailing, don't fiet
you meant no liaim. Oet tip and braid vour
hair, and come down staiis. Dinner will be
on tho table diuctly, and papa is asking foi

Lisbcth sat up and mislml the damp fiingc
of yellow hair out of her eyes, VI shall not

"Hut you must, dc.u; papa would he vei
much voxul."
"Noverl" ciied Lisbeth, with a flesh buist
of teats; ' never!"
came to the loicuc, with mild eyes and a In m,
gentle voice.
"No uicmhei of niv famil) must ho lacking
in courtesy to a guest," said he, taking Lis
beth gently bytho hind; and the poor child
was led shamefacedly into the kitchen, while
tho tabic was spicad, and Tolly stood smiling
at its head.
"Mr. Vincilit," said the paison to the tail
strain.'!!", "this is my youngest child
"1 am the mack shcip of tlio l.iiml), said
Lisbeth, lunging her head, "and I in vei)
Sony, su, and I beg your pardon."
"Pray, don't mention it," said Air. Vincent,
iu gamine distiess at the sight of the mortili
cation of this yellow-haued lassie with the
deep hazel eyes and tho red, sensitive mouth.
And when diiinei was over--.and litre let us
mention that Mr. Vincent ate and drank with
an excellent appetite, as if no lurking shadow
of the thiiatcned dyspepsia disturbed his
digeitinn and the country parson had takm
his guest into the study, Polly put her arm
around l.isbcth's waist, and diew her out un
der tho morning ghny vines, vvheie, by tins
time, the blue and rose tinted cups had all
folded thcmselv es into tight little p.ir.isolcttes
and hidden behind tho leaves.
"Lisbeth," said she, "I've got good news
for you."
"Nothing can be good news any mom," said
Lislicth, with a flesh burst of tears,
"Oh, but listen," soothed Polly. "Do yon
know who this Mr. Vincent is?"
"A - iiussionaiy, I suppose." And poor
Lisbeth spoke tho word as if it was a dose of
quinine, "No, dear, he's the bishop's score
t.aty. And he has heard of papa's learning and
7c.al and talent, and ho has como to oiler huii n

"It can't bo tiue'said Lisbeth, vaguely.
"Hut it is," cued Poll); and thin the two

"What have you done with Mr. Vincent?"

MIDDY MOROAK.
We gav e a few years ago some facts about
Middy Morgan, but her work and her success
are so unique that the facts of her career are
always of interest. We met the lady seviral
times at agricultural meetings in New York
Stste, and can testify to the truth of the de
scriptive parts of the following sketch, writ
ten by Koselle Rice, for the Farm and Fire
side :
Miss Morgan came to this country twenty
years ago, bearing a letter of introduction to
Horace Oreely. She was a stranger, without
money, having landed from a ship in New
York harbor with only one dime in her pock
et, and that she dropped into the sailor's char
ity fund. But Bno had letters to persons of
influencein the city, and a very fine recom
mendation of the highest older from bis maj
esty, Victor Kmanucl, King of Italy. When
she presented her letter to Mr. Oreely, he
looked up from his desk, and said, premptor
ily, "what can yau do?"
She replied in a very modest, lady-like
way that she could report agricultural fairs
and horse races.
'The devill" ho glow led, looking at her
from head to foot. He never could take a
joke. He did not ste fun where others saw
it. He had a sort of contempt for women who
had a "upcrioi intellect, .and he seemed to le
gal d this woman as a kind of lunatic, who
had gotten out ot the usual line. He dismiss
ed her without comment, but some one con
nected with the Tiihiine, thoucht it would be
a good joke on htr to send hei to the rates at
Saratoga and Jet her write out the repoit.
Tim joke turned chaiimngly when Middy's
account was accepted and the othir one re
jected. Itw.uso will vviittcu, to clcni-ctit
and so sprightly and newsy that from that
day the lady had no trouble in getting plenty
to do. At this writing'she is the well p.u'die
porter for four to live cattle maiket columns
in as many New Ymk papers. She is in de
mand evciy whcio to write out leportsof
hoi so fans and races, live stock and cattle
markets. She is one of the best judges of
cattle iu this couutiy, and can tell the weight
of a beef on foot almost with the twinkle of
hei honest bluo eye. hhe is masculine m up
pe.aiance, her height being an inch oi tu"
over mx feet. Her complexion isvtivfaii,
though she does not tike caie of it, cosmclics
and their pioperties being unknown to hu.
Hei foini is syiiimetiic.il, well knit, not un
graceful; her eyes Urge, blue, tiiithful and
Hue luexpiession; her hand is small and llei
hle, and full of charactei a little hand that
lies often, fuller of ower than a level, upon
the shaggy neck of wild cattle, oi mingles its
whiteness tenderly in tho long, shining, silky
manes of blooded hmses stamping impatient
ly vi ith the impetuous file of their uncurbed
uatuics. Middy's volte is her most thaiming
chum. It is soft and musical; "ltdinpslikc.
yellow sunlight down;" a cleir, sweet, lich
voice, with just the faintest hint of the Iiish
bioguu rtinainmg in it.
Among all classes she is popular, but most
populm among giow iug lioys. The) call her
, ,itiiau-,ii ,, -t- ,. "j..Uj,n ...
thty never tne of leioimtmg htr virtues and
good ti aits and stoij- telling ability, to sis
tela at home. And these sistois, while they
listen with.iwuand wuudci, will bleak out
into, "Oh, how can she!" or "Did level '"and
then the) gentiallv wind up b) saying, "Oh,
well, if wo didn't havo to ditss, oi h oui

could do something too' She don t hail"
her hair, and she don t bit) ntw 1, its, and
she don't tale w bethel things aie m ta.-hion
or not.
There is a good deal of tiuth in this 1 ittsi
assertion. IntUewintei tune Miss Morgan's
dresses aie of dark-coloied wateipmot; her

Carp in Lake
Lake lOttnt) will jirovc one of the Inst fish-
producing distiiets in Amenca. .Schwartz A

are doing well with carji. They havo five
lonils, the largest covering about one acre,
stocked vi ith an immense number of sni ill fiv
They are iuiiioMiig and iinre.ifiiii; tlmr

havo II, eiiibraiiug in all S to 10 ants of
land. Tliey hav e an abundant supply of vv ,v
ter from n targe trout stream (of 40 to 43 de
grees in teuipcratuie,) brought m by a ditch,
and tlio llovv regulated so as to ketp thevvatei
in the Jiouils at about SO degi eis dining the
warm season, The fish arc growing fast, and
next season the guests at Anderson and liar
bin springs within two miles of the ponds
can be supplied with tine large tlsh, transport
ed alivo in tanks if desired. Tliey have found
the low, moist, black soil land more favorablo
for holding water in ponds than the higher
reel soil and gravel land-and believe Lake
couuty as good as any in the State for fish
cultute. The proprietors of Anderson springs
have taken water from the stream mentioned
above, at a higher point, to supply a large
pond made upon their former croquet grounds.
Carp have aUo been placed in the very large
jwnd at Hoggs' old mill site, between Olen
brook and Kcl.ejville.
