Two that wrecked each other's hope, Parting coldly in their prime, Met upou the downward slope, Taught hy teirs and calmed liy time, Under autumn's perfect trees, Dropping bright remembrancei. There they spread their stories out, Face to face and hand to hand, Lr.oking back with wistful doubt Into the forgotten land Where the wheels of life went fast, Hardly seen till they were past. Looking where the dawn hail been, Till each gray and pallid line Shivers with a sun unseen, Which must never rise and shine, And the moment, lost and vain, Comes before their souls again. 8aying eoftly, "Yes, I think You were there jou came at ten.

" With the buck liuil-room to Ikj wliituwui-lird, aiitl tho churning to ho done, mid tlio quilt to be got ready for the, fiiiiueri? I'm MirpriMil at you, Uulhurinol" Kitty looked with longing eyen lit the creeping titlwof Huntdiiuuou the hill Hide, and tho great hImiIowm that the upple trco houghs miulo us they swayd on the grits. Thero was a eathivd singing in the inn pice. Kitty wished that just for awhile BliO could ho that cathird, and dwell in a glorified region ot green leaves, where churning, whitewash pails aud quilting bees were unknown. Bho knew that even now tho scarlet mini lies woro nodding along the stone W1U liko tiny soldiers, tho wild roses opening in solitary nooks, tho strawberries ripening i inignmt wood openings on the llilh As theso tempting thoughts passed across her mind, she heard Aunt Jean's thrill voice at tho hack door, taking to tome one. "A painter, eh?" said she. "Oh, yes, you'ro welcome to a drink of water. You Ctin draw it, fresh and cool, for yourself. Xlio well's out under the big butternut tree. A painter, did you say? P'raps you Cim whitewash, too?" Certainly, nm'iun I " said a deep, pleas ant voice. Kitty leaned forward to get it peep at the possessor o( that clear, soft tenor. Ho was a young man, with rt sort of pack straped'on his back, and something that resembled a inagiiilled umbrella in Id bund. "Oh," said Kitty, to herself, "a iieddlcr' Aunt Jean is getting harder and hauler of hearing every day I" "Well," said Aunt Jean, " I dobheve Providence has sent you! I'd engaged Perkins l'olk to whitewash the back IkhI- rooni to-day, but he hasn't come near me. And here it is nine o'clock! 1 don't b'lieve ho means to como to-day. I'eikins has took to drink dremlitil ol late oor crce turl l'Vaps, sir, you could whitewash the back bediwm? I'd I hi willing to give you your dinner and a quuiter of a dollar for the job! Aud I can't say more liberal than Aunt Jean was awaiting the division of the young man, with one hand back of licr far, when Kitty walked in, her bright eys spaikling with mitth, her cheeks rosy, ami her lips pursed up in the desperate attempt not to smile. " You'll please excuse Aunt Jean, m good man," said she. " Wo don't want anything to-dav. Thero was a peddler nlo'ngon rNiturdajvind wo bought all that we lequired." Tho young man Uorton U'igh was tho name staniHd in gilt letters on the inside of his color Ihu lnoknl from grim Aunt Jean to pretty Kitty, and made up his mind at once. " Pardon me," ho said, ' but I am not a peddler. And if you will allow mo 1 ehiill be vt ry glad to undertake the job.' "The o.ier the bettor, said Aunt Jean biitklv.

"Thero nothing like getting a good early start on Monday morning, mill Aunt Jean. . , , , At twelve o'clock tho back tol-room was whiter and sweeter than any lily, the tho butter hail "come," the quilt was sat isfactorily arranged, and the whole family sat down to a savory meal of fried chicken, white bread, milk and btriuvljcrry short cuke. " You scorn to he a very respectable voting man," said Aunt Jean, critically surveving the stranger. "If you'd like to stay hero and do chores for your hoard, you might sleep in thebarn-chamls;r, and I could recommend you to do whitewash ing jobs for tho neighbors. Deacon Dowd s house needs a now coat of paint, and 1 in 'most sure that Widow Wnatlian iriicny would like her barn painted to match fie now house." " I am greatly obliged to you," said the young man, toying with a particularly large berry, " but I do not execute orders in that branch. I am an artist." A which?" said Aunt Jean. "An artist. Shall I show you some of my sketches?" Aunt Jean put on her spectacles at once. " Well, I don't object to look at 'em, said she. " Hut I won't promise to buy. Vo got a very pretty chromo with tho last pound o'tea wo bought, and Kitty cuts pictures out of the illustrated papers and pastes 'em on to stono jars!" Mr. IiOigh laughed. "Oh, I don't expect to iiiiiko a saioi said he. "All theso are merely first ideas, jotted down in the crudest of fashions. To speak the truth, my real object in cal ling here this inori ing was to ask permis sion to sketch tlioo picturesque ruins down by the old road." "Oh!" said Aunt Jean; "tho old smithy. Dear, dear! there aint nothing, but a tumble-down stuuwall and a few mullein-stalks left there. Kfyou could wait till nextspring, Klilm Lewis moans to put a lirst-class blacksmith's shop. Hut you're welcome to do all tho sketchin' you wantl" Kitty's eyes sparkled. " I wish 1 was an artist," said she, as she turned over tho bits of mill-board, all or which wero instinct of life and beauty. " Well," said Aunt Jean, complacently, "why shouldn't you bo? I duro say this young man can show you how he lines it." Kitlv looked at tho young man ; the voiimr man looked at Kitty, anil then both burst into a peal of baity laughter to Aunt Jean's great inystilication. "Oh, aunty," said Kitty, still choking behind her 'pocket-handkerchief, "that isn't the way that artists are made! " Half an hour later, Kitty Ford was out on tho green, boding her little downy ducklings with scalded meal, when Judge halighington's carriage drove up. Kitty let the tin pan fall in her dismay. To her, Miss Laughington, in her summer silks and diamonds, long white plumes and eight-buttoned kid gloves, represented all that was elegant and adorable. How she logrolled that she still wore her old blue gingham gown, and that her curls were all entangled hy the sweet, soft wind! "Don't run away. Kitty, dear," said Miss Laughington, beckoning with her ivory-handled parasol. " You are the very girl' that I want to see. My cousin, Mr. l'igh, is coining down this way, to-day, to sketeli. I have told hint about those pietty.old ruins of the blacksmith's shop ; mi. if' be I'oines oast here " "Oh, Miss l.augliinglon, erieu ruuy, turning as scarlet as tho big bunch of peonies at the corner of (ho house, " he has .., .. --- . ,,-.,.. eomo already!

And after the glistening carnage Iniil rolled away, Kitty I'onl sat down aud cried. Judge Laughiugton's daughter drove on to tho ruined smithy, where Mr. Leigh was composedly putting in" the lights and shadows of tho old chimney and tho mullein-stalks. ltnl she went back to the. stately "Com t" with a U'lit brow and an ill-pleased expres sion of faco. " lloiton is so awfully eccentric! " said she. "There's no knowing what lvdieu lous whim ho will take up net." For Mr. Leigh had declined to accept tho hospitalities of the Court. " You always nave siicn loans oi com pany then', Antoniii," said he " and 1 pio fer quiet. No I'll como up and see you when tho spirit moves; but I'll pitch my tents in this secluded dale. It will bo let ter for real, steady work." For Kittv Fords deep, liquid eyes still haunted his brain. "The prettiest girl 1 oversaw! no kept relating to himself. "A pure spirit dwellhiL' in a lilv-llko temple! I must see more of hero; 1 must sketch her as 1'iia.' " So ho went back, that night, just as the dew was falling and tho whip-poor-wilU loginning to sing, and asked Aunt Joan if ho could occupy tho little iwnv over the kitchen, where the brick chimney perked itsolfout.and tho one little window looked directly into tho Umghs of tho old pear Hi v.

JULY 6, "Then I may come," said Horton I'eoplc wero very much surprised when Horton Leigh brought a blue-eyed country maiden to preside over his city mansion the next fall. .... Hut Kitty Ford, secure in her innocent happiness, never knew how many tears Antonia Laughington had shed over her cousin's wedding card. And Aunt Jean makes her boasts that Kitty has " store carpets" in every one of her rooms and a carriage of her own. " He's a painter," said Aunt Jean to her friends. " Not a house-painter, but a picture-painter. And ho knows how to whitewash a ceiling equal to Perkins l'olk. I guess there ain't no fear, but that he'll make his way in the world. Anyhow, Kitty likes him, and that's enough." Care o! Farming Implements. Tho Ohio Farmer says: Wo have noticed that plows last, on an average, about three years, wagons, eight to ten years; reapers, five to eight; drills, eight to ten. Wo think theso figures are quite its much as tho truth warrants. We know f liinnv imnlcinents that have not lasted so lotiir. and of many which have lasted tntteii niieer.

These wero not made of extra gwxl materials, nor were they suffered to lio hv. Thev wero put to constant use. What, then, is the secret of their greater endurance? It is but this they were taken euro of. hen not in use they wero put awav with care. These imple ments not only kept longer, but when tliev woro in use they might be depended on. They woro kept ready for work. Tho realtors did not brak down in the midst of harvest and compel tho hands to remain idle while some one went to tho railway stations to get repairs ; the drills did not need to lie repaired just when the wheat ought to lio sown; the wagons wero not always breaking down and occasioning stoppages and vexation. Another thing may 1x3 said in their favor, and that is they always did good work. Tho reapers out a smooth stubble and put the grain down in good condition ; the plows did not refuse to scour; the drills put the wheat in just as it should be, and Hum implements did good work, not only while they were new, until the last year they were in use.

Court was in session, and early this mourns several of the Ugil fraternity, after mature discussion, concluded to euter a few sections of Und on the lower Yakima under the Desert Laud Act of March 3, 1ST". Under this Act each applicant i eutitied to one seo ttoii, or OtO acre, at i.'2S an a;re, the only r quirenuut twin! that the purchaser shall irrigate and reclaim the laud from iU desert condition withiu three years from the date of entry. The first payment is 'J5 ceuts au sere, the remainder being piid when the Und is reclaimed and proof of that fact submitted to the sMis'action uf the Uud 'Iticera. As soon as it became ku n that entries were beiug made au euiUiueut upon the subject arose which did not subside tor a day or two, or uutil some iL;ht or ten thousand acres had been ei.ten;d. A Heat Little Job In Toothpicks. Mirth vegetated like a mushroom at Hopcraft's, in Franklin street, last week. Senator Drowning, the Hon. Arthur D. Williams, Robert C. Drown, a well known cigar dealer and George Hojicraft, pro prietor of the restaurant, wero at dinner. Hoiicraft was called from the table on business. " Let's stick Hop for a bottle of wine," suggested Banana Bob. ' Possibly it can't be done," Mr. Brown ing observed. "Excuse me, Senator, but you re not very fly," Mr. Brown replied. " Oblige me by counting those toothpicks," pointing to a small tumbler filled with yellow splin ters. "I'll show you how to let Hop in for the wine." . The Senator counted the toothpicks. There were thirty-one of them. Banana Bob threw three on the floor. " Now there arc only seven times for twenty-eight d'you twig?" he remarked. A moment afterward Hopcraft returned. Bob dumped the tootpicks on tho table. " Hop, old boy," he said, " we're drawing picks for a bottle. Are you in? " "What do you mean?" the proprietor inquired. "Why, each of us keeps on drawing toothpicks, one after nnother.and the man who draws last is stuck. Are you in? " "All right, go ahead," Hoiicraft replied in a tone of uncertainty. The words were hardly out of Ins mouth before Brown, Browning and Williams had drawn from tho pile, leaving Hoiicraft tho fourth to draw. Ho took a toothpick. Hob drew a second time, and the others followed seriatim. Hopcraft's quick eye ran over the pile. Ho saw where he was was about to land and he tipped a quick wink at Williams and Browning. Banana Hob had drawn tho fourth time. Before Browning could reach the pile Hopciaft threw tho remaining toothpicks out of the window, saying : " That settles it. You lose, Hob." "How?" said tho astonished cigar dealer. "Why, you drew last," was the re sponse. The wine was paid, Mr. Williams shrewdly observing : " Excuse me, Hob, but you'ro not very fly." N. Y. Sun. Spare the Polecat. Mr. Lot Honine, of Vandalia, Cass county, Mich,, has decided opinions as to to tho value of that much despised ani mal, the skunk, to fanners, and recently prepared a short essay, to bo read before the Farmers' Club of that place, in which ho speaks of skunks and quails : These animals, that are generally ruthlessly destroyed, are invaluable to tho farmer. The skunk destroys all kinds of insects, especially the grub worm, which is a favorite dish of his. He is also very des tructive to the various kinds of vermin that infest the wheat fields, corn fields, patato patches, meadows, etc. He is noc turnal in his predatory habits, his keen scent enabling him to surprise insects when they are asleep. He can scent a grubworm at a distance of two or three rods away and four inches under ground and dig it out. The quail lives in the wheat fields and picks oil' thousands of in sects that destry the wheat and grass. All farmers should protect quails and skunks, as they are of great benefit to the growing crops Mad-Stones and Hydrophobia. A mad-stono or calculus is found in tho paunch of a deer or cow. It is claimed by those who have faith in tho mad-stono that it adheres to the wound until it be comes charged with poison, w en it drops oil". It is then so-ked in milk, and the application is renewed. As a very small percentage of those who arc bitten would have the disease any way, it is very easy to deceive people with a mad-stone. It is said that of the animals bitten two dogs out of three will have it, the majority of horses have it, cattle have a better chance, and sheep still better. It is estimated that ono person in twenty takes tho disease some estimates are greater, some less. There is a record of a dog that was bitten by thirty mad dogs, and outlived them ail. The Eaatetn Fart of the Palouse Country. The Palouse Gazette says : The citizens of tho eastern part of this country should use some exertion to iuduce the coming immi gration to come and examine the country ivlorg the base of the mountains. The great Potlatch country offers great inducements to the settlers, because of its natural advan tages of timber, water, etc. The excellent body of land strrounding (Jenesee, Union town and Colton, and extending north past Pullman, Palouse City. Farmington and into the Kock ere. k country, is all one grado of land, constituting the Duet body of land on the racitic uoast. iteini; convenient to um ber, and everywhere aboundinc in springs, it otters advantages that do not exist further west. The soil is a rich, black loam, covered with a sod that is easily turned over with thra common horses. Numerous towns are scattered throughout this belt of laud, and excellent null facilities everywhere abound, No settler hould locate north of Snae river uutil he has taken a look at the Potlatch countrv. and from thence north towards Sp kane Kails. Value of Middle Orexon. New countries are almost always underrated at tirtt. The miuers who first worked tl e placers of California pronounced the valleys of that State entirely worthless for agricul tural purposes. Within a few years the product of the farms exceeded the product of the mines, and farming lands were selling at $100 per acre. Early immigrants to Oregon pused through the vast regions between Snake river and the Cascade mountains, and declared that the country was totally unfit for human habitation. A few decides hive passed away, and many of these rame people are retracing thttr steps to make their homes in the once despised land.

We have repeatedly said that Palouse City will eventually he the great lumber mart of the Palouse country, says the Palouse City Boomerang. Already is our prediction com ing true. You may go fifty miles west of here and you will meet teams headed for this point to purchase lumber. Why is this? Becauso our town was (by a mtre accident) located at a point on the Palouse river that is easy of access, and jmt as far from the moun tains as los can be run without any risk of being caught by a sudden rise or 'all i the river. Logs can be run from the mountains, a distance of some ten mihs, for ten timeB less than it can be hauled on'a wagon j while the cost of running beyond Palouse City is equal to or more than the cost of hauling on a wagon. We are often asked if wo thmK a railroad will come to Palouse City. When we see the great country that must be sup plied with lumber, when we see forty teams in one day loading lumber at Palouse City, when we know that the demand for lumber will increase many times what it now is, and when we know that our supply is inexhausti ble, and that our facilities for manufacturing are unequaled at any other point in the Pa louse country, we are compelled to believe a railroad will be constructed to some point on the Palouse river near the present town of Palouse City. Heavy Sale. As a rule, sales of land in this neighborhood have been heretofore small in number of acres and amounts paid, says the Spokane Review, but there was a transaction made through G. H. Morgan this week that had the appear ance 01 a wnoiesaie uisposmon oi lanaea property. The sale was that of 2,800 acres of land, lying within six miles of Farmington, Whitman county, in township 21, range 44 east, by J. N. Squier and Eugene Germond to J. F. McNaught, of Seattle. The price paid was 37.00 per acre, which foots the total up to SI 9, 000. This shows that men of means are waking up to the fact that investments in Eastern Washington are an assurance of big returns, and consequently are on the lookout fur property to buy. Farmington is situated in one of the best farming belts in this section of the Territory, and it is safe to predict that before five years the land sold will be woith at least double the price paid for it. The body of Willis Knigton was found on the 14th lust, in the Calapooia liver. Itenieiuber Till, It you are sick, Hop Hitters will surely aid Nature In making you well when all else tails.
