THE BEVEN PLAQUES OF THE CORN CROP
AH the world's a crop,
And a'l the peats ami inaects merely humbugs;
They havo thtir exits and their entrances,
And one pest in its time plays many part,
Its acts being seven stagts. At first the frost,
Kipping and killini all the tender buds.
Then the sudetn rain ttorm, with its s rong
And rushing eagerness, sweeping like a stream
Unfettered through the fields. And tin
cyclone,
Roaring like a furnace, with a shrieking wail,
S oops down upon the grain. 1 hen the bettle,
Full of strange sounds, and wildly clawing
legs,
Jualous of rivals, sudden and quick in biting,
S eking the gobbling inflation.
E'm in the cornfield's cars. Then the grass
hopper, Of expensive stomach, with good grain tops
lined,
With eyes bulged out and wings of crooked
cat,
Full of steel saws and modern improvements,
So he can play his part. The sixth stage shifts
Into the lean and slippery army worm.
With a most ravenous maw and appetite,
His wrigiiling shape well saved, a world too
thin
For what he eats; and his big, hungry mouth,
Turning again to pastures green and fresh,
bites,
And then crawls in the ground. Last scene
of all,
That ends this strange, but truthful, history,
la old Jay Gould, who gaily gobbles up
The crops, the stocks, the lambs and every
thing. a i
Dora's Trial.
"I do wish," huM l'rudence Hull, hold
ing her darning needle in mid-air for 11
moment over the course blue nock hIio was
m. riding, "I do wish you could bco your
way clear to marrying Suth 1 Lillet. Ii
want 8 you the worst kind, and he'd bo
each 11 good provider."
"Hut I don't like him well enough,
J'nidy; and I want something besides
meat and drink, and two calico dresses 11
year."
Mrs. l'rudence J Tall had sprained her
ankle, and was forced, sorely against her
will, to sit day after day in an upper
chamber, with a terrible consciousness
that everything about the farm was re
lapsing into chaos and old night, for want
of hcroversight. Her pretty sister, Dora,
had come to stay with her; hut she was
only u child.
"There lire two kinds of loo in this
world," said Mrs Hull, aflei a pause, in
which she had been taking counsel with
herself whether D0111 was old enough to
bo talked to on such mutters at all, and it
flashed upon her Unit the ehil . was nearly
twenty J ears old. "IVihapsjou like Seth
well enough lomairy hiin,cmh m don't
know it."
"loll 1110 uliotit nut two kinds or low,
said Doia, innocently "I thought low
was low, the woild owi "
"I haw unwi known but one kind, I
think, Dora When I maniid D,iid

"What if he had?" asked D01.1
"Well, I guess Itould Ium1111g1u.il him

that will draw women thiough liio and

and they know it as well us an.vbod) oKo

why such a fi cling should evei have been
created "
Doia had bent low ovei hei woik to
h do her roguish smiles at hei sistei's dis
count), but at this (Hiiut she fixed hei
deep grav ejes on l'ludeiu'e, not smiling
but simply earnest.
".Such love hi ings happiness Mimetiiues,
I suppose," said Dora
"Not to never," said l'rudeiiio, with
gieat decision. "Wo ain't made to be
happy, and an.v thing that's tix good ul
wavs leaves a bad taste in the mouth
Comfoit is a bird in the hand and you do
not gam an) thing bv letting it lly on the
chance of happiness "
"Duljouevei know anyone about heie,
Prudence, that threw heiself awav foi
love It seems to me they won't look at
II man unless he has a hoiiso and a faun
ill! toady for them "
"Th i's wore they uie right," said I'm
deuce "You me rather given to high
living notions, nnil its time you found

hutul wash the other. Kvon when she
was .1 dving she protended that she had
Uvn happy, and wouldn't haw done
no other way if she had to do it over
again "
"Was she our Joe's mother?" asked
Dora, imk'kh
"Yes, to lu sure; and when she died
we took him to bring up and work on
the farm. He's more than paid his way,
but he's 11 nilling stone, like his father,
and won't ever oome to any thing, I for
got to tell you he's going to-morrow "
"Going to-morrow ?" cried Dora with 11
giv.it start. "1 thought his time wasu' out
tor another month?"
"Well, it ain't out rightly till he's
tvvvuty-ono; but ho was in such a groat
hurry to bo oil' that I guv u him the but
month."
Then sileneo foil upon them

her mother late in life, 113 an old tree
"ometimes blossoms into loveliness after
everyone has forgotten it. Herlittle feet
had walked in easy paths, and Prudence
yearned ocr her like .1 mother.
As she sat now by the open fire, bend
ing her graceful head over some delicate
work that Prudence would never havo
found time for, her red drcs and the flick
1 ring fire-light made her a picture too
lovely for that dull rdom.
"Prudence," said hc, suddenly, "as this
is Joe's last night, I think I'll go down
and s.iy good-bye to him."
"You might call him up here."
"No ; J will go myself."
"I believe I hawn'tevcr told you, Dora,
how much jou pleaed me by giving up
that childish way of going on with him,
that jou used to have. It did very well
for you to bo fond of one another when
you wero little, but of otirse it is out of
the question now."
It might have been the lire-light and
the red dress that brought such u vivid
Hush to Dora s check as she listened and
turned away. She ran lightly down
stairs and opened the door of the great
farm kitchen.
A young man sat by the fire, looking
into it us one looks into the eyes of an
enemy before the fight an over-grown
farmer loy, in homemade clothes, with
nothing about him to fall in love with,
least of all for tho brilliant little figure
that stood waiting for him to look up
Ho was too intent on his own thoughts to
notice her till she went swiftly across the
room, and, taking his head between her
hands, turned his foco up to hers. "Joe,
bad boy, weie you going away without
letting mo know?"
The hard lines of his face softened and
brightened under her ga.o till one would
not have known him for the s.imo man.
"I thought that I would not see you to
night, he said
"You know you know I wou'd havo
crept through tho key-holo for one little
last minute with you."
"How long will jou wait for me,
Dora?"
"Till you come hack."
"If it were seven years, think how long
it would be."
"If you loved mo as you make me be
hove," said Dora, "you would not go n way,
but would work here until you could
build a little house, and then wo could
rough it together."
"No, little Dor.i, that is not my kind of
low; my mother tried that and she lived
u slave's life."
Dora! Dora!" ciied Prudeneo f rom up
stairs; "what on earth are you doing down
there?"
"1 must go, now, I must truly," said
Doia, as she felt herself locked in arms
that would not give way. "If I live
without you for seven years I shall be a
hoiuley old maid, and you will not thank
m for waiting for you.

boon plenty with her, and she hud easily
sugaiod and gilded the plain things that
farm life allordcd to hoi
Hoforo the first joaroaine to an end,
she felt that she should soon aruvo at a

thing to kill tho time which died so hard

going in with a Hush on either cheek,
and coming out pile and dull-ejcd, alter
the stnb of rimpiKjintmcnt. I wonder
that people in the country are so anxious
to bo po-tmasters ; if they only knew it,
they me actors in more tragedies than
any member of a theatrical stock com
pany. Much -ealed happiness pacs
through their hands , but they have to
refuse many 11 "Mariana in tho Moated
Cirange, weary women who reach a
hand out of then dull lives for a letter and
and draw it back empty.
It was far into the second year before
Joo'a first letter came. It was surely a
fanciful and foolish thing fora schoolmis
tress to do, but Dora carried it to her ow 11
tittles room and put on tho red dress be
fore she read Joe's letter.
Joe was working in the mines in Colo
rado. His luck had not yet como in
nuggets at least, but hard work and
sober living were slowly giving him the
advantage over the other miners. Ho
was never so -well and he loved her better
than all the world.
Dora lived on this letter for many
weeks, and she set "Colorado" for a copy
so often to her scholars that they will
write that word better tlun any other.
Iettcrs came oftcner as years drew on ;
sometimes Joo was up in world, some
times down ; once his carefully hoarded
gold was stolen from him, and ho had to
Ixsgin all ovei again; but this was noth
ing to a long illness, in which a fiiend
wrote to D0111 as soon as Joo was out of
danger. Then she env icd the doves their
wings.
Now Year's day was the hardest of all
to bear. She could not help a stiong
prcssuio of ONciteincnt when she put on
the red dress, which grew more and 111010
old fashioned, and watch d the sun go
down on tho roid which Joo must ti.ncl
should ho return home. Tho next morn
ing she fitted her shoulders sadly to the
burden of another jcar.
One young farmer after another found
his way to tho old farm houso on Sunday
evenings, and Dor.i pushed them down
an inclined plane of discouragement so
gently that they had hardly known
whether they had intended to court her
or not. It was not tho least of her trials
that she had to meet the entreaties of her
mother and the rough arguments of her
father when 0110 or two more persistent
suitors would take nothing lebs than "no"
for an answer.
Dora could give no reasons for sepcat
ed refusals to marry, except that sho
loved no one well enough .1 reason which
would bo all sufficient if parents remain
ed immortally young, but it loses its
weight after tTixty.
As tho seventh year drew to a close,
Dora's heart beat light within her. Joe
had mentioned seven years, as though ho
intended to come homo then, at any iate.
She wore out the first day of tho "(Had
New Year" with busy caro until late in
tho afternoon, when an old man spent
with much walking stopped to rest him
self in the fuim house kitchen. Prudence
be-tirud heisclf to ghohini a hearty lun
cheon, and when he was win in and fed ho
liec'in to talk of his travels. He had
been to seek his fortune all
ovei tho
West, but not finding, returned to dio at
home. Ho mentioned Colorado and Den
ver, and when Doia found huiclf alone
for a moment, sho said, "Did you over see
.lii-eph Itayniond in IVnvoi?'
"Joo Raymond? Oh, jes' T know
him lived with him nigh onto a month
His wife wnsii wal good cook louldn't

"You say ho was m.iuied'"
"To be sure, a right sin.iit feller, and
might j fond of his wife Women 111 e
scmco out theio."
Piudenco oaino in and the old man
went on his way all uncon-cious of the
great stono ho had east into the -till wa
ters of Dora's heart.
"What's the mutter'" said Piudence,
"jou'ie as white us a sheet,"
' Doia's only answer was to start out of
tho house and run, as for hei life, down
t io (10en orchaul path, bj which she
could gain upon and ovoitake this ten i

twilight she walked slowly down tho or
chard path, and loaned 011 the gate that
oiienod into tho road.
Suddenly a man sprang from behind
the wall. "Theodora, my gift ofGodl'"
ho said , and Dora, though she recognized
no mark of the lover who had left her
eight years before, felt that no other know
that pass-word, and (tillered herself to
roM silently in his arms in tho inell'ablp
content that comes after long waiting.
When Joo and IVni wont into tho houo
and sho looked at him by o.indle-light.her
heart almost misgave her, his luxuriant
Kurd and the manly assurance of his
manners wore not at all like the Joo of

When Dora tiptoed softly by her sister's
door nt a ery late hour that night, Pru
dence was ljing awake for her. "Don't
tell me," she said, "that you've been wait
ing for that Joe Kaymond all this time!"
"I won't tell you if you don't want to
hear it," said Dora.
"Do you know whether he came home
any better ofl than when hn went nwnv-V"
"I leally haven't thought to ask him."
said Dora, carelessly. Prudence groaned
and turned her face to the wall.
Joo waited only till tho next day to tell
Mrs. Hall the story of his success, which
looked very moderate in his traveled eyes
but seemed a noble fortune to her homely
ideas.
"I never thought before," said Dora's
father at the wedding, "that a woman
could keep a secret ; and I guess it ain't
much more common than snow in dog
days."
"How long would you have waited for
me?" said Joe, in Doia's cur.
"Forever," said Dora, solemnly.
And Mrs. Prudence Hall, as she over
heard the svoid, thanked her stars that
Dora's foolish notions hud not wrecked
her on a poverty stricken marriage.
THE BAD BOY.
"Why don't jou take an ice pick and
clean the diit out from under your finger
nails," said the grocery man to the bad
boy, as ho came in and stroked the cat
the wrong way, as she lay in the sun
on the counter, on 11 quire of manilla
jui per.
"Can't lemove the diit for thirty days
Its an emblem of mourning. Had a
funeral .it our house J esterday," and the
boy took a pickle out of the tub and put
it into the cat's mouth, and shut her
teeth together on it, and then went up to
the show case, while the grocery man,
whose back had been turned during the
pickle exercise, thought . by the way the
cat jumped into the dried apple barrel
and began to paw and scratch with all
four of her feet and yowl, that she was
going to havo a fit.
" I hadn't heard about it," said the
grocery man, us he took the cat by the
neck and tossed her out in the back shed
into nn oj'ster box full of sawdust, with a
parting injunction that if she was going
to have fits she'd better go out where
there was plenty of fresh air. " Death is
always a sad thing to contemplate One
day we are full of health, joy and cold
victuals, and tho next we aro screwed
down in a box, a few vvoids said over our
remains, a few tears are shed, and thero
is a race to see who shall get back from
the cemetery first, and though wo may
think we are an important factor in tho
world's progress, nnd sometimes feel as
though it would be unable to put up iniu
gins and have to Mop tho deal, tho world
goes light along, and it must annoy peo
ple who die, to realize that they don't
count for game. The greatest man in
tho world is only a nine-snot when he is
dead, because somebody else takes the
tucks that tlie dead man ouglit to liavo
taken. Hut, say, who is dead at your
hou-e?"
' Our rooster. Take caie, don't j on hit
me wit 11 that canvased ham, said tho
boj us the gtoceiy man looked mad to
leant that theio was nobody dead but a
looMci, when ho hid pleached such a
sermon on the subject " Yes, soon weaie
foigottiu when we aro gone. Now, jou
would have thought that loo-ter's hen
would havo lcmained faithful to him ,1
week at least I have watched them all
the spi nig, and I never saw a moie pei-
foct picttue of devotion than that be
tween tho bantam rooMei and hen. They
weio constantly togethei, and there was
nothing too good for her. llo would dig
up angle vvoims and call her and when
she canio up on a gallop and saw tho
grout big angle woim on tho ground, she
would look so proud of her looMer and
ho would straigliten up and look as
though he was s.ijing to her, 'I'm a
daisy,' and then she would look at him
as if sho would like to bite him, and just
us she was going to pick up tho worm he
would snat'-h it and swallow it himself,
and elmcklo and walk around and be full
of business, as though wondering why
she didn't take tho worm after ho had
dug it for her, and then the hen would
look disappointed at first, and then sho
would look resigned, as much as to say,
' Worms are too rich for my blood any
way, and tlm poor dear looster needs them
mm 0 than I do, because ho docs all the
crowing,' and she would go off and eat a
grasshopper and eat it on tho sly foi fear
ho would seo her and comnlain because
sho didn't divide. O, I h wo never seen
mi) thing that seemed to 1110 so human as
the relations between that rooster and
hen. He seemed to try to do everything
for her He would make her stop cack
ling when she laid an egg, nnd he would
Itiy to oaoklo and crow over it a though
ho had laid it, and sho would go on in a
corner nnd cluck in a modest, retiring
manner, as though she wished to convey
to the scnant girl- in tho kitchen that
tho rooster had to do all the hard work,
and she was only n useless appendage, lit
only for society, and company for bun.
Hut 1 was disgusted with him when the
poor hen was sotting. Tho first week
that she sat on the eggs he seemed to get
along first rate, because ho had a couple
of llovver beds to dig up, which a press of
business had caused him to neglect
More, and 11 couple of neighbor's gar
dons to destroy, so ho teemed to Imj
glad to lime his hen retire to her boudoir
and sot, but after he had been shooed out
of the garden and llower bods he seemed
to bo nervous, and evidently wanted to
Isj potted, and ho would go near the hen
and she would seem to tell him to go and
take n walk around the block, because
she hadn't tune to leave her business, and
if sho didn't attend to it they would havo
a lot of spoiled eggs to attend to, and
no family to tiring up. He would soold,
. . . .. p . . .. .
ami seem to toll nor that it wa all fool-
Isline. - , that for his part he didn't want
to hear it lot of cmekens iouawkml-
a mild. Ho would seem to argue that a
brood of chickens would be n dead give
awnyon them both, and they would at
once lie classed as old folks, while if they
weio nlono in the world they would be
spring chickens, and could go in society,
but the hen would scold back, and tell
him he ought to bo ashamed to talk in
that way, and ho would go off mad nnd
sulk around a -pell, and then go to a
neighbor's hen-house and sometimes he
wouldn't como back till the next day.
The hen would ho sorry she had spoken
so cros, and would look anxiously for his
return, and when he came back after
being in the rain all night, she would be
solicitous nbout his health, nnd tell him
he ought to wrap soinetliing'nround him,
but he acted as though ho didn't care for
his health, and he would go out again
a ul get chilled through. Finally the old
hen got off the nest with ten chickens,
and tho rooster seemed very proud, nnd
when nnybody came out to look at them
he would crow, nnd seemed to say they
were his chickens, though the hen was a
long time hatching them, and if it had
been him setting on them ho could havo
hatched them out in a week, or died a
trying. But the exposure told on him,
and he went into 11 decline, and one
morning wo found him dead. Do you
know that I never see n hen that seemed
to realize a calamity as she did. She
1 joked pale, nnd her eyes looked red, and
she seemed to bo utterly crushed. If tho
chickens, who weie so j-oung they could
not realize that thej were little oipluns,
became noisy, and hauling over a woim,
and conducted themselves 111 an un
seemly manner, she would talk to them
in hen language, with tears in her eyes,
and it was a pictuio of woe. But the
next day a neighboring rooster got to
looking through the fence fiom the alley,
and trying to flirt with her. At first she
was indignant and seemed to tell him he
0 .ght to go about his business, and le.iv e
her alone, but the dude kept cuckling,
anu pretty soon the widowed hen edged
up tovvnrds the fence nnd nsked him to
come in, but the hole in the fence was too
small for him, and then tho chickens
went out in the alley, and the lien follow
ed them. I shall always think she told
the chickens to go out, so she would have
an excuse to go after them, and flirt with
the rooster, and I think it is a perfect
shnme. She is out in the alley half the
time, nnd I could cuff her. It seems to
me wrong to so soon foi get a deceased
rooster, but I suppose a hen can't be any
more than human, Say, you don't want
to buy a good dead rooster, do you ? You
could pick it nnd sell it to some one that
owes you for a spring chicken.
"No, I don't w ant any deceased poultry,
that died of grief, nnd you better go home
and watch your hen be bereaved sonic
more," nnd the groceiy man went out in
the shed to see if the cat was over its fit,
and when ho came back the boy was gone,
and after a while the giocerj man saw a
crowd in fiont of the stoie and he went
out and found the dead rooster lying on
the vegetable stand, with a paper pinned
on its breast on which was a sicn. "This
raster dido of coin. Foi salo eheen to
boarding house only." Ho took the dead
rooster and threw it out 111 the stiect, and
