Tho best o' bcin's will licv their cares There's alwus suniptliiii' to cross our way, To warry an' fret us in our affairs An' bccIi wus tho lot o' old Deacon Day; Ho hcil his trials 111 tell you how Ho win tcmiiteil an' tried by a lugliway cow. Tl:o Iiuo o' licr hiilo wus a dusky brown; Her body wus lean, an' lier neck wus slim; Ono horn turned up, an' the other down; She wus sharp or sight, an' was long 0 limb, With a peaked nose, an' a short stump-tail, An' ribs like tho hoops on a home-made pail. Many a day lied she passed in pound Fur moanly helpin' herself to corn; Many a cowardly cur an' hound Hed been transfixed by her crumpled horn, Many a tea-pot an' old tin-pail Hcd tho farm hoys tied to her stumpy tail. Old Deacon Day wus a pious man, A frugal farmer, upright an' plain; Ah, uiaiiy'a weary mile ho ran To drivo her out o' his growin' grain. Sharp wero tho pranks that she use to play To git her fill and to git away. Ho used to sit on tho Sabbath-day With his open Itiblo upon his knco, Thinkin's o' loved ones far away, In tho Iletter Land that iio longed to see When a distant boiler, borne thro' tho air, Would bring him back to this world o' care. When tho deacon went to his church in town, She watched an' waited till ho went by Ho never passed her without a frown, And an evil gleam in each angiy eye. Ilu would crack his whip, an' holler " hay! K. ho drove along in his one-hoise shay. Then at his homestead sho loved to call, Liftin' his bars with her crumpled horn, Nimbly sealin' Ids ijardeu wall, Delphi' herself to his standiu' corn, Katin' his cabbages ono by one Scampetin' home when her meal was done. OflVn the Deacon homeward came, 1 liimmm' a hymn, from thohouso o' prayer, His kindly heart in a tranquil frame, His soul ez calm e. the evenin' air, f His forhead smooth o. a well-worn plow To find in his garden that highway cow. His human passions wcro quick to rise, An' stridiu' forth with a savagu cry, With fury liluzin' from both his eyes, Mr. lightnin's Hash in a Hummer sky, Heddcr an' reddor his faco would grow, An' after tho critter ho would go Ovor his garden, round mid rouud, llreakin' his pair an' apples trees, Tiampin' his melons into the ground, Tippiu'ovcr his hives o' bees, Lcaviu' him angry an' badly stung, Wishiu's the old cow's neck was wrung. Tim mnnRra irrmt' nn tho irardcu wall: Thoysars went by, with their work an' play J Tho lioys o tlie village grew siroug aim wu, And tho gray-hareil farmers dropped away, Ono by one, i-ji tho red loves fall llut tho highway cow outlived 'em all. Tho things wo hato aro tho last to fade; Homo cares are lengthened thro' manv years; Tho death o' tho wicked seems long delayed, llut there is a climax to all careers, An' tho highway cow at last was slain Ju runuiti' a raeo with a railway train. Which Won? A WATERING-PLACE ROMANCE. It was a quiet, unpretending-looking house on tho outskirts of ono of our pretty New Knuland villages. There was an air of primi tive neatness and old-fadiioned simplicity about interior and ontnior. Tho furniture was sutlioient but plain, everything necessary to comfort but nothing for ornament, luxury or fashion. No tapestry carpets or silken dranerv. no linmro and gold, old china or raro paintings. Tho walls had a neat paper of drab, the carpet was cheap but pretty, and tho furniture of haircloth and mahogany was more for uso than beauty. OuUidc was the garden, shut in from the avenuo by shade tieesanda hedge ol evergieens. 6ucli now. eisl a whole summer's sweetness and sunshine seemed nestled in the deep, fragrant hearts of tho buds and blossoms. Thrift wcro golden heat ted lilies, rich, wine-hued panties, blood red and tieauiy roses, carnations, passion llovurs, bluo-UlU and a thousand others in all thu royal beauty of coloring and pel fume, llendlng over the (lower-beds was the graceful tk'Uro of a young girl in all tho bleom and fivshues, of sweet sixteen; such a charming face with blush-tinted cheeks, largo Spanish ryes aud groat clusters of golden curls, Kveu in her dross of clicsii calico llosaio Wilton seemed liko some fairy princess, sho was so dainty, with her sweet words and ways, and that charm of manner that took lovo una vinti llut she was only tin daughter of plain people, her father being the villago blacksmith and her mother a naruwormng but good and loving wife. Hcssia was the as sistant to tho dressmaker, Miss Allen, and this neat little cottage was the happy homo of the simple-hearted inmates. Ou tin hill, kbout half a mile distant from Wilton, the blacksmith', was the large, imposing mansion of Mrs Judge Sheltou. She was rery wealthy sud with her only sou and invalid daughter had Ueu traveling iu Europe for tho past year. Tho June daya wcro bright and perfect as Juno days always are. At tho close of ouo of tho loviest, when tho sunlight lingered loving. y ou tho waviug gTass and wreathing vines, ami tho whole earth was fair and aweet a a dream of I'aradise, Sidney Sheltou, out for a drive, fouud that the ptuctou noeded a little repairing, so stopped at the shop of Abel Wil to get the break mended. "How do you do, Wilton? It is some time since you aud I met," said Sidney, as he shook hands with his humble neighbor. "You are looking hale and hearty as ever." "Yes, Mr. Shelton, thanks to a clear con science, lots of business, and a happy borne, I am well and light-hearted as a boy. How is your honored mother? and you aro well I hope? You look so, at any rate. I think your traveling in foreign parts agrees with you. Step into the house while I am fixing the harness, for mother and Bcssio will be right glad to pee you." Mrs. Wilton was in tho kitchen, busy with her dinner, bo she told Bessie, who stood at tho sink preparing vegetables, her sleeves rolled up, showing white, dimpled arms that wero a model for a sculptor, to take Mr. Shelton into the parlor, and she would bo dis engaged in a moment. Bessie blushingly led tho way, and tho young man thought, as ho noted her bright dark eyes, her sunny curls, and sweet, flower-liko face, that sho was fair enough and graceful enough to adorn any sta tion. "How much you have improved, Bessie, in my year of absence. Yoiraro quite a woman and I left you a little girl in short dresses. What aro you doing now? "I am assistant to Miss Allen tho dress maker; she pays mo good wages and I feel very thankful that I can be of some assistance to my dear parents, for father has been quito unfortunate with mother's sickness, and con sequently a largo bill for medicine and doctor ing; then he lost ahorse, and business has not been good until the last month or so, but fath er is always happy; he never complains, and mother is as patient as sho can bo m spito of aches and pains; but I am talking about my affairs and have not asked after your mother s health and that of Miss Virginia, yoursister." "Mother is well and the sea voyago has ben efited her very much, but Clcnio is still tho same frail, delicate flower sho ever has been and liko a snow-wreath is gradually fading away. She told mo if I saw you to give you her love, and to bo sure and tell you to como to Woodlawn just as soon as you could bo spared." "I will call this evening. I have had to day to help mother in, to-morrow I have to go to my sewing once more; so with your per mission I will go and seo Miss Sheltou to night." "Certainly. Ciciuo will bo delighted to seo her old schoolmate and friend." Mrs. Wilton now came in, and Sidney, after partaking of somo homo-brewed alo and iiuit cake, anil giving an account of some of tho places ho visited in foreign countries, took Ins leavo, saying to himself as ho looked back from his carriage and saw little Bcssio stand ing in tho vine-wreathed porch. "What a pity so much beauty must bo buried in this obscuro place If the blacksmith's daughter was wealthy and went into society she would boa belle, but I must call at thoolHce and seo Lawyer Cory about that mortgage," and soou all thoughts of pretty Bessie vauished from the mind of tho rich man. Not so with Bessie; sho had seen very few gentlemen, anil since sho was a littlo child she had looked up to and admired tho lianilsomo Sidnoy Shelton, and now upon his return from Europe ho was handsomer than ever, aud tho girl's heart went out to him unasked, unsought. Tho white gulls screamed above the sea, and tho salt breezes blow the Hags of the picas- uro-boats at their moorings, and tipped each silvery wavo with n snow wreath of foam. Ou tho white, shining beach were gathered groups of pleasure-seekers, for on this sun shiny, Summer afternoon Long Branch was at it gayest. Standing somewhat apart from tho others wero a couple w ho for stylo and beauty aro worthy of more than a passing notice. The lady had a form of winning grace and full of dainty curves, and a faco that might havo been Aphrodite's when she eanio up, newly born, fioui tho sea-foam, oho made a won derful picture as sho stood in the amber sun thine, in her glittering garments, liko some tropio bird or gorgeous blossom; her complex ion of cicamy white, with a dash of scarlet ou lips and cheeks, great, solemn, blue-gray eyes and golden bronzo hair. Hubies sparkled on her throat, in her ears and on her wrists. Sho was liooked at the hotel as Madame tho Count ess of Castletou. She was nil Knglish lady, and was as refined as she was beautiful. Her companion was tall, well-made, and his do moaner had tho true breeding of a gentleman in every gesture, every movement with lion est brown eyes, a broad, white forehead, over which fell curls, dark and luxuriant. His face wore a pure, exalted expression, indica tive of true nobility of soul, a faco one would trust, unquestioning. "Young Shelton is very attentive to the Knglish countess, remarked Fred Austin to one of his boon companions. "He is most deeply in lovo with her and tollows her like her shadow. His proud mother w ill bo moro haughty than ever if ho succeeds iu winning such a golden prize, for sho seems to be wealthy as she is beautiful." "Yes, Sidney always was a lucky fellow; was Intra with a silver spoon in his mouth. Aud to think that ho who can wiu the lovo of our American belles should not be satisfied with these, but aunt choose an Knglish beau ty," was tho reply of Fred. Austin's frieud. "I hear that tho Countess is a great coquette; sho may only bo playing with Siduey, but ho is terribly In earnest, has been hero two months, and iu that time has had eyes only for la belle Countess." It was very true all that was said in regard to Siduey Sheltou 'a devotion to the Knglish beauty. He had spent a few days at home with hi mother and sister, then joining a par ty of his former fellow students at Harvard, they left for Long Branch, and meeting this brilliant stranger, with ber wouderful Wauty, her maguiticeut toilets, her glittering jen , French maid, elegant carnage aud span, a' 1 all tho outward appointments of wealth aud WILLAMETTE FABMER: PORTLAND, OBEGON, OCTOBER station, ho had fallen madly in love. The lady knew her power, and at times was lov ing and full of fascinating wiles, and again cold as a marble statue, and Sidney was wild ly happy or deep in the depths of gloom and despair, just as the case might be. "A new arrival to-day," remarked Fred Anstin to Sidney Shelton, as they sat on the piazza of the hotel enjoying an after dinner cigar; "I hear that tho gentleman lately come from Italy, is a count or marquis, or some such title, that he is handsome and a second Monte Cristo in wealth; won't ho set tho hearts of our belles in a flutter?" "I presume he will, for women in this country adore a title; but when arc we to seo this wonderful specimen of manly beauty? this favorite of fortune?" "To-night at tho hop ho will deign to honor us by gracing the ball-room with his presence, so look to your laurels, Sidney, or tho bejew elled and bctitlcd'foreigner will carry off your English exotic." "Fred, you are mj friend, tried and true, so to you I can confido my secret. You know how I have devoted myself to Maude Castle ton. I lovo her most fondly, most truly. This afternoon I offered myself to her and she has a.ceptcd me and I am very, very happy, for in spite of her little coquettish ways I think she loves me, nay, I am sure she does." "My dear fellow, I congratulate you. Tho countess is at least very beautiful, and for your sako I hope she is as good as she is fair. But Sidney, I speak now as your old friend, and you must not tako it amiss if I offer a lit tle advice. Admitting that Maude Castletou, Countess of Castlcton, is what sho represents herself, a widow and a titled personage, do you think you know her well enough to marry her on less than two months' acquaintance? Had you not better writo and find out some thing in regard to her past history?" and Fred was about to give further suggestious and advico when the infatuated lover in a haughty tone bade his friend keep silent. "I know you mean well, Fred, but remember you aro speaking of tho woman I lovo and mean to make my wife, and it is an insult for mo to listen to anything against her. I bo lievo her to bo everything noble, pure and good, so say no moro. Tho long looked for evening when the rich, haudsomo sm titled noblo would mako his first rppcaranco had ar rived. Streams of light sparkled from tho windows, harmonious strains of jubilant music quivered on tho air. Thero was a glisten and glitter of silken robes and flashing jewels, a scent of flowers and delicious perfumes, proin- enadiug, waltzing and flirtations were the or der of tho hour; at a lato hour the count mado bis appearance. Ho was not very young, but graceful and handsome. Count Adolph Khrenstein, as he called himself, was dresseil in the height of fashion with jewelled orders glittering on his breast. His face was faultlessly handsomo, but as destituto of any trace of goodness as if a demoniac spirit and not a human soul looked out from those gleaming, snaky eyes, while around his thin lips their lurked a cold, mocking sirillo as bo noted tho sensation he created, especially among tho fair sex. The Knglish countess in her sweeping, mstling robe of palo green, with clusters of half-blown lily buds in her bronze brown hair, and looping up tho laco on her dress, seemed fair and pure as a sea-nymph, and wherever sho went a train of admirers followed, but tho most devoted was tho hand somo Count, and in spito of Sidney's anger, his betrothed slighted him for tho distinguish' cd foreigner. But again we must seek the peaceful, quiet New Kngland town, far away from heartless gayety and fashion. Bessie Wilton, at tho request of her invalid friend, Miss Sheltou, has left her place at the dressmaker's and is now the constant companion of tho poor, sick girl, "for," said Virginia to her haughty mother, who had remonstrated with her child for keeping company with the blacksmith's daughter, "although sho is poor and of hum bio birth, littlo Bcssio is gentle, true-hearted and affectionate, and why need I, who havo long sinco said good-by to earth's joys and sorrows, its pleasures and vanities, why need I caro for tho distinctions of rank and wealth? No, dear mamma, I havo found a true and sympathizing friend in Bessie, so let mo keep her." And her mother yielded to every re quest of the dying girl. So Bessie, with her lovo of refinement and taste for the beautiful, became an inmate of the luxurious home of the Sholtous. Six mouths passed. Virginia was dead, and heforu sho died sho learnt Bes sio's secret that sho loved her brother, Vir ginia, au heiress in her own right, left all her property to Bessie; and a fow months after, tho blacksmith's daughter, with her parents' consent, went to Kuropo to be educated. In the six months that have passed, many changes havo taken place iu the lives of some of tho principal persons of this little sketch. Tho Summer days were never more fair and bright, and iu the golden sunshine, as well as by tho light of tho silver crescent and shin ing stars, Maude Castlcton aud the count wandered together. They rode on horseback iu tho early morning, at noon enjoyed a siesta on the shaded veranda, at sunset they sailed in a fairy-like yacht, owned by the noblo and named Siren, and by mooulight they promeu aded on the beach or in tho salon. Hand clasped iu hand, they moved gracefully to gether iu the dreamy waltz or chauting redowa. When Sidney, maddened with jealousy, and a prey to bitter heart-troubles, remoustrated, eutreated and threatened his betrothed, (he laughed at his miser)', and said: "You need no longer trouble me with your unwelcome attentions. Here is tho engagement ring, I return it to you, and when I tell you I no longer love you, I hope you will leave me for ever." "False and cold hearted woman, I acorn and despise you. Think you I cannot ee your base motive in your fair but false face? ou think this count with hi title and vut riches is tho Itettcr match, so you cast mo off as you would him if a richer suitor knelt to you," uid fliugiug tho eugsgement ring, with it di amond flashing and burning like stars, far in to the ocean, Sidney turned and left the wom an who had wrecked his life and slighted his love, but he had his revenge sooner than he anticipated. For the past month Fred Austin had been absent from Long Branch. On tho morning of Sidney's rejection by Maudo tho young man returned. Sidney had made every preparation for a journey to Europe; would leave tho next morning to say adieu to his mother at Wood lawn; then he resolved by travel and change to forget and to banish the imago of the countess from his mind. It wa3 near mid night. In the supper room a gay crowd had assembled, glas3 and china rang, silver flashed under tho lights, hot-houso flowers made the air heavy with fragrance. It was the farewell banquet of the guests, as most of them wcro to leavo on tho morrow for their city homes. The countess looked very lovely as she came into tho supper room leaning on tho arm of tho count. lie seemed proud and happy, and every one had heard the news of Sidney's des ertion by Maudo and the count's success. Young Shelton was too proud to be absent from the banquet, so ho sat at tho board, palo and silent, never glancing at tho perfidious woman who sat opposite in all the flush of her raro beauty, while her costume and jewels outshone those of the richest there. When mirth and gayety were at its height, Fred Austin mado his appearance and with him two rather rough looking men who kept somewhat in the background. "My friends," said Fred, as ho sat in the vacant seat left for hi ji by tho side of Sidney, 'I havo a few words to say to you if you can spare me a moment. Every ono stopped eating, and, with aston ishment depicted on their faces, wondered what tho usually silent aud retiring young man had to say, but they were all attention. "I have been away for a month investiga ting into certain affairs of two prominent per sonages here. I took an interest iu them on my friend Sidney's account." When he had proccedei thus far the count ess looked uneasy aud turned slightly pale, while tho count seemed to have lost his ap petite, and his look wandered, while ho half arose as if to leavo the room. "I have been," continued Fred, "to famous detectives, who have telegraphed and found out that the beautiful Countless of Castlcton, although having a right to the title, is poor and an adventuress, coming to this country to entrap by her beauty some rich man, whose fortune she can gamble away 03 sho did that of her poor old husband, who, after he was ruined, shot himself. The elegant count who has been so much admired and courted is an escaped convict, sentenced to hard labor for life for murder; escaping, he murdered a fellow traveler as they wero crossing a lonely mountain pass in Switzerland, took the unfor tunate man's money, jewels aud papers, and escaped to America." As Fred finished his story the pretended couut made an attempt to escape, but the two men who wero detectives soon had tho brace lets on his wrists, and as he left'in their com pany that was the last seen of the elegant and accomplished count. The fair gambler aud adventuress had staked all and lost, so she soon made her exit, going, no doubt, to some other large city, there by her beauty hoping to entrap Romo rich man into marriage Five years passed, ana Sidney, cured of his follv, returned to Woodlawn. Thero he found Bes sio beautiful aud accomplished; his mother was long since dead, and he was alone iu the world. Day by day tho sweet face of Bessie Wilton smiled upon the grave, silent man, un til love, love deep and devoted, not the mad passion that possessed him for the siren count ess, but the heartfelt, ever-enduring love of a man matured and strengthened by Buffering, came to him again. With blushes little Bes sie confessed that she had always loved Sid ney, and as tho last rays of the dying sunset glinted on the fair face and golden braids of tho blacksmith's daughter, Sidney thought that never a sweeter vision had blessed his eyes. So ho won happiness at last. Amtrkan Cultivator. USE ROSE PILLS. WILD OATS AND SORREL EXTERMINATED . . ..I1Y THE. . .. Best Cultivatorin the World.
