f A CICECn SOUSE. "I a tut trust to jour instinct," mut tered & traveler, letting the bridle fall apon Lie hone's neck. "The eye of en owl would be at fault on uch a night as this. Be quiet, yon brute! Do you . mean to repay my confidence by break ing my seek?" " The animal had shied so Tiolently as nearly to throw his rider, and stood trembling in eTery muscle. His master peered through the darkness in the en dearor to make out the cause of his ter ror. He could perceive before him the dim outline of a dismantled church, with its brood of grarestones clustered about it. Beside the road, so close that he could have touched it with his whip, he discovered an indistinct white object crouching upon one of the graves. Resolved upon knowing what it was, he dismounted and approached it. As he did so, it arose and fled rapidly away. With his curiosity no fully arosed he fol lowed it. As it nested the church it turned suddenly and confronted him. At this moment a broad glare of light ning flashed athwart the sky and he saw before him a vounir erirl dressed in a thin, water-soaked garment, her hair falling'' in drenohed eoils - upon her shoulders. For an instant her white, scared face was turned toward him and her Urge, sorrowful eyes met his with an appealing look, then she seemed to melt into the solid body of the church. As well as the oarkness permitted, he examined the spot where she had disap peared, but could find no opening through which she could hare escaped. He called aloud that he was a friend, and that she had nothing to fear. The only answer was the weired wail of the tempest through the broken arches. With a feeling akin to superstitious ter ror, he hastily remounted his horse, and did not draw reia until he reached the village inn. "Who occupies the old church yon der ?" he inquired of this landlord. "Ah t you too have seen it," exclaimed the landlord, mysteriously, "It?" echoed the traveler.' "I saw what I thought to be a poor, demented girl." , "Ton saw the spirit of one," answered the host, solemnly: "Every one here knows the story. When she was alive her name was Ada Morton. Her father died a year back, leaving her heiress to his property, As she was yet a minor, he appointed his friend Stephen East burn her guardian, who in ease of her death unmarried, was to inherit the property. It is said that he beat, starved and ill-treated her. ' One night just such m night as this she disappeared. Her hat and cloak were found on the .river bank next morning. It was plain that the poor creature had sought de liverance from her persecutor by suicide. That was three months ago. Her body was never found, but her spirit had been often seen in the church-yard, where her father lies. Meanwhile, the man who drove her to her death lives at his ease in her father ' house on the hill." The traveler . was evidently deeply interested in the story, but he made no comment upon it Merely informing the landlord that he should remain for a week or two, he retired to his room. Like many another young man of for tune Chas. Barclay was afflicted with too much leisure. - His sole object in this part of the country was mere languid search after amusement. The landlord's ' story had strongly aroused his curiosity. Morever, the young girl's sad face and beseeching glance in the churchyard had made a strange impression upon him. Something in her improbable history had led him to form a vague suspicion of a truth nearly as improbable. Eagerly accepting the possible chanca of an ex citing experience, he determined to sift the matter to the bottom. . Without dropping a hint as to his in tentions, he left the inn on the next night shortly after 11 o'clock and pro ceeded to the old church. The place was deserted and silent ; not even a stray dog was to be seen wandering about the churchyard. An ineffably dreary air Jiang about the place, depressing his spirits snd almost resolving him to abandon his object. But a sentiment of . pride urged him on, and he cautiously made his way into th church and sat down in one of tae'ws. , ""'"'i'or more thaii an hour nothing oc curred to attract his attention. He be came drowsy, and was on the point of falling sleep where he sat, when a low, wierd peal from the old organ moaned through the church.. He sat erect and listened with suspended breath. The sound rose higher and clearer, and pres ently the tweet but mournful tones of a woman's voice joined it He could make out the words of a prayer for the wretched. After a moment the music ceased, and he oould hear the singer sobbing in a low, heart-broken way, that brought tears to his eyes. He strained his eyes through the darkness, but could make out nothing. Arising, he called out: "Whoever you are, you are in sorrow and affliction. I cannot see you. I will not pursue you. All I desire is to be vour friend. Will tou answer me?" There was no reply, and the weeping suddenly ceased. After a moment of hesitation he made his way to the organ loft and struck a match. No one was visible, nor was there the smallest trace of the recent presence of any living be ing. Considerably startled, he left the church, determined to repeat his expe rience on the followed night. Providing himself with a dark lantern he went to the church on the next night. and secreted himself near the organ. As Itefure it was nearly midnight before he became conscious of the presence of an otbec person in the building. On this oooaaion the organ was not played, but . there was a slight rustle as of a woman's dress, and presently he heard the same low bitter weeping; Quickly arising he shot the rays of the lantern in the direction whence the . sounds proceeded. Mot more than three . yards from him in the broad glare of the . light he beheld the girl whom he had met in the churchyard. She was looking at him with an expression of intense ter ror in her white face and tear-wet eyes. As she stood cowering before him she remifiXea nut or in innocent animai crouching at the hunter's feet. With . an accent of deep pity he addressed . bar : "I saw- you in the churchyard night before last, X spoke to you last night. X am not an enemy, nor an idle curiosity seeker. I earnestly want to aid you Will tou not trust me?" . Keeping her eyes fixed upon him with ' the same distrustful iook, sua answerou in a faint, far-off voice: "Tour friendship or your enemity can ha nothlntr to me. The world you live in by its wickedness and cruelty, drove me to mr death. I am doomed to this place until justice is done upon my destroyer." "Yon are trvinff to mislead me. ex claimed Barclay. "You are no spirit, "but a poor, starving homeless young girl. You have suffered miserably and I have resolved to restore you to your rights, as well as exact reparation from the man who has wro Hired you." He advanced toward hex as he spoke and stretched out bis arms to seize her. Ia an instant she seemed uncertain how to act. then even as bis hand seemed to pass boldly through her shspe, she melted into the shadows of the place. This time he did not pursue her. Her mvsterious escape, which seemed to con firm her own words, began to impress , him with the belief that he had indeed confronted a visitant from the other world. Kext morning, however, cool reflection taught him that he might easily have de ceived himself in his excitement He therefore resolved all the more obsti- 0 natelT to pursue the inraaticration. For three nights following he secreted himself in the church and awaited her appearance, but his wateh was fruitless. This eaution on her part fully convinced Lim that he was dealing with a human being and net with an impalpable phan tom. Meantime ia pursuance of the suspi cion which the landlord's 'story had im parted to him, he found a pretense on whioh to make the acquaintance of Hyphen Eastburn. The man impressed bias unfavorably at the first sight. Tall and gaijint of figure, with small, restless gray eyes and false smile, he seemed to Barclay to be capable of any villainy. The young man was careful to avoid mentioning the supposed ghost, and de parted with an invitation to call again. , On the fourth day Barclayagain secreted himself in the church. It was oold for the season, and he shivered in his hiding place, despite his warm clothing. Hour after hour passed away, and he was be ginning to fear that his errand would again prove fruitless, when a faint light in the church caught his eye. As rose higher, he could see that it pro ceeded from a small heap of sticks col lected upon the stone floor. Crouching over it and extending her thin fingers to the flame, he beheld the figure of the young girl. Evidently overcome with the cold, she had ventured to indulge in this small comfort in the hope that it might escape notice. i Pulling off his shoes, Barclay crept up behind her, and before she was aware of his presence, seized her in his strong grasp, "I knew you were no ghost," he said, smiling; "though if you continue this life muoh longer you will soon become one." She uttered a faint cry of terror, and sunk upon her knees. "Spare me," she sobbed. "I am only a poor, homeless, friendless girl, who never wronged any one. Why do you pursue me? "For your own good, my poor girl," he said kindly. "Why will you not be lieve me in my good intentions?" ' "Why should I?" she cried passion ately, "Did not my father's trusted friend, the man who had sworn to be my second father, seek my life?" "Ah!" said Berclay, with a start. "My conjecture was true, then. He then de coyed you to the river, and after believ ing you safely out of the way, left your cloak and bat upon the bank to give the impression that you had committed sui cide?" "Yes," she answered; "but the river was more merciful than he, for it cast me ashore alive. Sickly with horror, and madly afraid of the whole world, I came here where my father lay, to die upon his grave. But it is hard for one so young to die. I have lived here these three months, suffering, freezing, dying. That I wss taken for my own ghost was fortunate for me, and aided me to get what little would keep me alive, after nightfall. And I encouraged the super stition. Now you know all. If you are that man's emissary, may God forgive you and help me." "I am the emissary ' of mercy," re turned Barclay. "I am here to do jus tice on a villain and to restore you to your rights. Will you trust and help me?" i She looked up at him. "You have a good, kind face." she said, offering him her hand, "1 will trust you." j "Then," said Barclay, "keep np the character you have assumed for one more dsy. To-morrow night I shall bring Eastburn here with witnesses. Do yon play on that organ when you hear us enter. When I turn the dark lantern upon you, rise, and denounce him as your murderer. We can safely leave him to accuse himself." j "I will do as you wish," she answered. "How can I thank you?" "By following my directions. re plied Barclay, brusquely, to hide his own emotion. With a few words more of advice he left her. His next move was to go directly to the landlord of the inn, re late the whole story and secure bis sup port. - 1 At 10 o'clock on the next night, in company with the landlord, he called upon Stephen Jastburn. Uuttmg short his smooth salutation, Barclay said: "Mr. Eastburn, the obscure manner of your ward s death has given rise to strange rumors in the village. Her spirit is said to wander in the old church. We desire you to accompany us there to night in order to set their stories at rest. i East burn's jaw dropped, his face grew livid, and he was barely able to reply in a quavenng voice. i "Ghost? ghost t Do you mean to make a fool of me? I will not go to the chnrch at this hour of the night. "Allow me to observe." said Barclay, sternlr. "that the rumors, unless you aid in dissipating them, may culiminate in a charge ox murder. Something significant in his tone seemed to render Eastburn suddenly submisive. "Of course I will go, out of polite ness, if you insist. We will probably baa a church mouse. They are proverb ially so starved as to be incable of flight." No reply was made to this lame at tempt at humor, and in a very uncom fortable frame of mind he went with them to the church, and was shown into a pew in the dark between them. After a moment's silence the low tones of tlie organ sounded through the church, ac companied by a woman's voice. "What is this?" cried Eastburn, start ing up. " Whose voice is that?" j. "Be silent," said Barclay, sternly. "Good reason have you to hear that voice with guilty horror I At the same instance the gloss from his lantern fell broadly upon the orean. Standing before it, looking down at them, was the figure of Ada Morton, i "Oh, God," groaned Eastburn, chok ingly. "My sins have found me out She has come back from the other world to accuse me of her death." "Yes," said the girl solemnly. ''Stephen Eastburn, you are my mur derer." "I confess it," shrieked the terror madened wretch; "I ask no mercy from men, for the grave has condemned me. Take me away hide me from this aw ful sight." The light was turned out and the girl's fignre disappeared. The horror-stricken Eastburn , shrieking mingled prayers and curses, was taken to the village and im prisoned on the double charge of fraud and attempted murder. In course of time he was convicted and punished. On the same day that he was sentenoed Barclay called upon Ada Morton, now installed in her father's house. With her restoration to her rights she had re covered her health and beauty, and it was with a strange feeling of mingled hope and fear that the young man took her hand and said : "I have called to say good-bye. Miss Morton." The bright smile faded from her face, and a look of pain came in its place. "You are going away ? I had hoped you would stay with us." "My work here is done," he answered. "I have restored you to your home, and to-day your enemy receives the punish ment of his crimes. What more is there to do ?" "Nothing," she returned brokenly, "but to forget the poor girl whom you have befrionded. That will be easy' "No," he replied earnestly, "so diffi cult that I glial! never accomplish it. To stay as your friend is impossible. I must go away and labor to crush out this longing, this love for you which has over grown my whole heart, or stay to cher ish it for your sake. Tell me, dear Ada, which muBt I do ?" She looked up at him shyly, and came nearer io nis side as she whispered: Hot Bkabisgs. It has long been known that sulphur cools a hot bearing, but the reason why is doubtful. Von Heeren states that the fine metal dust formed when a journal runs hot, and which acts strongly upon both journal and bearing, forms a sulphide with the sulphur. This compound, which grows soft and greasy, does not cause any ap preciable amount of friction. Sulphur and grease, in combination, are in regu lar use on board the steamers of the North German Loyd's. !

Denew. his chief rival, has for fifteen years' managed Van derbilt's legal and political interests. Diversified Agriculture. - Coleman Younger, one of the most periencedand successful stock growers on the Pacific coast, contributes to the Pre the following on the above theme: The great interest of our farmers should be to know what to do and how to do it, to make their labor and capital give the largest return. They have tried wheat and barley raising until many of them have been compelled to mortgage their farms. This single cropping can succeed only in iso lated instances, and then only when the crops are good and prices high. Meat, bread and vegetables have to bo pro vided for families, either by raising them or by purchase. Any farmer in any por tion of Pacific Coast can produce meat, bread and vegetables in great abundance for family use; in some sections with but little labor, and in others it will require more, but it can be done, and ought to be by every farmer on the coast; and tlie sooner this course is adopted will pros perity follow. The three articles of food mentioned above will cost a family of six or seven persons from 8300 to $500 per year. In most cases farmers can raise them cheaper, and a better article than can be purchased from other parties. No farmer can be said to be independ ent or prosperous who refuses to raise all or most of such articles of food as are re quired for family use. In doing this the younger members of the family are edu cated in all the industries of the farm, whioh is very important. When boys learn how to handle, to feed, and to man age all kinds of stock, they learn to love it. It keeps them at home; it gives them constant employment; it teaches them patience, method and perseverence, and in a large majority of cases they become good and prosperous citizens. What a pleasure to see the farm stock ed with the highest type of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry. In breeding, feeding and cultivating this class of farm stock in connection with other farming, to my mind is the most interesting as well an pleasurable, that men can follow. It is the parent of good habits; it is the foundation of good living; koeps the family together; is interesting in its de tails; moral in its associations; and leads to prosperity. The occupation of the farmer cannot be overrated or overstated. They feed the millions. Let them cease their la bors for a single year, and famine en sues. From their ranks the mighty in tellect is drawn that governs and con trols the United States in all its depart ments. All the presidents and most, if not all, the distinguished statesmen and generals of this country, from its founda tion up to the present time, were at one time farmer's boys, and learned their first lessons in life's business on the farm and at the farm hearth. Their occupa tion and habits at out-door work ensures a vigorous constitution. This gives a good foundation for the intellect to grow and ripen. The country supplies the great commercial centers with brains, muscle and energy that has astonished the world in all the departments of in dustry. It is the daily inquiry where was so and so from 1 The time honored answer is: Born in such a county, and in such a State; a farmer's son; worked his way from small beginnings up. higher and higher, until the great people seeing his worth have made him a general. judge, a senator; and every four years they select one from among them, and make him President. Then take cour age, farmers. All the world have to draw their drafts oa your ranks. Then make farmers out of your boys, and if they have talent to fill high stations iu life, they will find their way up. All the improved breeds of - stock are more or less valuable to breed and raise on the farm, and especially so in regard to cattle. They fill a larger space in sup plying families with the good things of life than any or all other stock. It may be said that any class of cattle is valua ble to the farmer. This is true. But still there is one tribe which is pre eminent in my opinion, taking beef and milk of a superior quality, early matu rity, besides other valuable considera tions. The Short Horn is the grandest and noblest animal of the bovine tribe. The history of the Short Horn, for gen erations back, is full of interest. The perfection the early breeders brought them to, by the exercise of common Bense in breeding and feeding them for a long series of years, until they had estab lished the perfect type, both in form, pedigree and color; and that type has been maintained by succeeding breeders with the utmost care up to the present time. Their early maturity, the quantity and quality of marbled beef they pro duce at any age is most en couraging to farmers; and when they are bred for the dairy they are as much esteemed for their milk and but ter qualities as they are for their juicy and succulent beef. They have the qual ity of crossing to great advantage with oil other breeds to an extent that no breed of cattle can claim or are entitled to. It is safe to say that all farmers, can and ought to keop more or less stock in connection with ether farming; and that class of stock ought to be selected that will be most suitable to the farm, and will yield the largest income to help sup port the family. I think it is a safe rule to lay down that any farmer of ordinary capacity can, in a reasonable time, learn to manage to good advantage all kinds of domestic stock; for the education the farmer gets, makes him jack of all trades. This being a 'fact, then the first consideration is to select that class of stock that will give the greatest return. The trouble with our farmers is to change their mode of farming; to com mence adding other industries to single cropping that will ultimately keep the sheriff from the door. Now of ail the domestic animals, I would select the Short Horn Durham to place on the farm to be certain to get the largest re turn for money and labor expended. Most farmers are compelled to keep cows. Then the first thing to do is to bur a Short-Horn bull to grade up. If you have but a half-dozen it will pay; and the larger the herd the greater the profit. The great secret of success in this business is patience, and good care, generous keep, will ensure success. Remember, tou can't squat on a large herd, nor can you own one without large means; but you can, by patience, grow one, and by that time you will learn to handle them. While on the other band, starting with a large herd without ex perience, you are most likely to make a failure, at least for a time. 'Suppose a farmer has a small herd of common cattle, I would recommend him to buy a thoroughbred Short Horn bull and two or more heifers from a reliable breeder, breed up the common cattle, I save the thoroughbred and grade beilers, and almost before he knows it he has a fine herd of pure bred heifers, besides his high grade heifers. Short horns are now in the reach of most farmers. Farmers should awake to their interest and add this important industry to their other farming. Is there any good reason why such a county as Santa Clara and many other counties in this State should not be able to sell 30,000 or 40,000 head of good fat beef steers annually? With our virgin soil and mild climate can we not equal any county in Scotland with her worn-out soil and eold, and to us inhospitable climate? - Well, some counties in that old country export to England 40,000 beeves annually, besides supplying their own people. Go with me to old England and see what the tenant farmers are do ing to make both ends meet. To aid them in making bread and meat and pay rent, they seleet the best bred of all kinds of stock, and especially the Short Horn, for beef and dairy purposes, now if they can breed and grow the finest quality of beef, and make butter and cheese of good quality, and get rich at it, where they feed six months in the year with fog two miles deep, then why can't we do the same in this California climate and no rent to pay ? I will give an incident in my small boyhood days to ?how how easy it is to impress the young mind and shape his eourse through life. When my father moved to Missourithe gentleman he furchased a farm that had a large lot of ogs. To keep them from going wild, he promised me a sow-shote if I would feed them twice a day I until he took them away. So at I the appointed time he gave me a beauti- ex-fTul sow shote about six months old. I gave her such attention as a boy would who thought he had a' fortune in this lit tle sow. In time she had ten pigs, eight of them sow pigs. They were all blue, with a white list around the body. I have never been as proud of any prop erty since as I was of that sow and pigs. All my boyish attention was given them; they became a part and parcel of my everyday life. Early in the morning and late in the evening I looked after them. They grew rapidly with such attention. This being a new country, they required but little feeding. They inoreased rapidly, and in less than three years my father sold his farm to move higher up the county, and so my hogs had to be Bold. They were gath ered up and sold for $400. This was a great sum of money at that day for boys; but large as it was, I loved my blue listed hogs more than money. This early training, tlie love I acquired for stock, has shaped my course through life. No man can succeed in any business unless he loves it. My first start as a boy was in hogs; next, fine horses; and last the Short Horns. I have been breeding this noble and useful animal for more than 20 years. No business that I have ever done has given me so much real pleasure. Their beautiful color, massive and finished form, their noble ancestry, everything connected with them is inter esting, j The Rugby Colony. The English colony which Mr. Thos. Hughes and his friends propose to found in Tennessee has been misunderstood as being an enterprise exclusively English which was to maintain itself as English, cultivate English traditions and feelings and aim to be a little England in the midst of the United States, in the same way that Plymouth was a new England in the wilderness of 1620. The Ameri can and English critics of the scheme showed at once that such an undertaking must foil because the movement springs from no religious or social theory, but is merely an industrial enterprise. The result would inevitably be the mingling f the colony with the American life around it, and gradual absorption in the great American community. But when this had been all cogently set forth and reasoned to a logical conclusion, Mr. Hughes made a speech at the opening of the town, so to speak, in which he stated that such was not the intention, that the gates of the colony would stand wide open to the entry of industry and intel ligence from every quarter, and that while in its beginning it was necessarily English, "we hope that this will very soon cease to be so." It is, in fact, merely an escape from the narrower opportunities of life in older communities, and its hope and aim apparently are to give more and fairer chances to capable and well-meaning people than they are likely to find at home. There is a price to paid, indeed, for so great a gain, and that price is sep aration from the association of older re gions and at home, and the formation of new ties with strangers. There is an other price to be paid also, which is in evitable, and that is the attempted en trance of the shiftless and impracticable. No body of persons can fonnd a simple industrial community which is designed to lessen the friction of the great contest for existence without being beset by a swarm of drones who hope somehow to be . helped without helping themselves. There is perhaps to be added to this price list the slight unnaturalness which seems to belong to the impression of such endeavors. This is not, indeed, what can be called an original feeling, because from the community in some form our modern society has sprung. But indi vidualism and every man for himself have become so wholly the principle of our society that there is now a shrinking from any return to any form of com munism. Of this Mr. Hughes is well aware, and in his very tranquil and sensible speech he alludes to the odium which attaches to the word community, and repudiates entirely all sympathy with the State communism of which we have had some ugly teachings iu this country, and of which Lasalle and Marx are leaders in Europe. Indeed, the Rugby community is to be neither political nor religious, but simply Arcadian. It propones no re-organization of society, no revision of fundamental laws. It accepts with per fect contentment the laws relating to property and to family life as they exist, anil hopes to make the business of living under those laws somewhat easier. The colonists intend to lay out a pretty town, with due provision for parks and gar dens, and to erect suitable, simple, and attractive buildings. They mean also to apply co-operation to the supply of many of the fundamental and constant necessities of daily life, economizing health and labor and expense, and thereby greatly increasing the common stock of vigor and rational enjoyment; and they consecrate the colony to perfect religious freedom. It is thus a unique enterprise. The colony will avail itself of the resultB of experience elsewhere, and begin with the taste and foresight which are usually wholly wanting, or which are entirely contemned in the beginnings of such communities. Towns and villages are chance growths. They gather around some water-power, or mine, or spring, or natural advantage, or they are agricul tural centres growing without purpose or plan. There is scarcely a pretty or pleasant town or village which a little forethought would not have mado very much more charming. The village im provement societies are signs of the wish to remedy congenital defects of rural communities. Where there is a beauti ful shore, of a river or a luko, it has been generally sequestered to private and in dividual use, and is lost to the commu nity. If the natural beauty of thousands of "towns had been developed for the common benefit, it would bo found that profit and pleasure are different phases of the same fact, for property in an at tractive community is more valuable than in one which is not so. But when, as at Bugby, it is proposed to add to this cheap and easy care for the common pleasure the lightening of the common labor by the introduction of a kind of co-operation whose value is in contestable, the only question that re mains is whether the colonists who will have the taste and intelligence of the few leaders, or will yield to them the control. The hope of the colony, as Mr. Hughes expressed it, is tliat it will be a community of natural, not of artificial or conventional, ladies and gentlemen. This is the natural hope of generous enthusiasm. Harper's Magazine. Thk World's Graix Supply. Every body is. or ought to be, interested in the world's supply of bread the farmer, es pecially, the price of whose wheat crop depends on the amount of wheat grown. For the same reason the consumer has a like interest in statistics bearing upon this subject. The following carefully prepared estimate of the wheat crop of 1880 is from Bradstreet s statistician, W. F. Ford. He says that in spite of an ap parent surplus of 27,000,000 bushels over the world's needs, prices probably will be well maintained. The gross yield of this country has been 455,649.000 bushels, of which about 190,000,000 bushels will be available for export. The countries most noticeably short are Great Brtain, 120,000,000 bushels; France, 42,000,000; Germany, 20,000,000; Holland and Belgium, 14,500,000; and Italy, Switzerland. Spain and Portugal, together, about 11,000,000. The remain ing Europeon States have small sur pluses, the greatest, Austro-Hungary, reaching about 20,000,000 bushels, while in no other ca does the excess go above 6,000,000 bushels. Russia is credited with a surplus of 5,000,000 bushels. Mr. Ford asserts that even this trifling amount is more apparent than real, since a very large import of rye and Indian corn will be necessary to make good the failure in these staple crops.

Washington, however. A memorable Bide. Twenty-five years ago the favorite social festivity of the autumn months in the Delaware valley was the "apple-out." The dried apple entered largely into the store of things laid up for - winter, and from time out of mind, the custom of inviting a party of young persona to come on a certain evening and aid in preparing the fruit, had prevailed among the farmers of the valley. There was one rule at the apple cuts which met the warm approval of every country beau. The girl who "pared and quar tered" the smallest quantity of apples in a given time was bound to give a kiss to every swain present The "old folks" used to say that the rule was a bad one because every girl seemed to strive to see how little she could do. After the evening task was ended came the feast. kuu iir uint ui naoier. men was merriment till the small hours, to the lively measure of the "Arkansas Trav- eler, ' Money Musk," "Fisher's Horn pipe," "Downfall of Water Street," "McLeof's Reed," and kindred favorites. It was seldom that these rural routs ended before the cocks were crowing in the barn and daylight came admoaish ingly over the eastern hills. Once, in the rare ege referred to, a grand apple cut was to be given by a rich farmer, who lived eight miles down the valley from Milford. He had several charm ing daughters, and his house was at all times a center of attraction. Among those invited to the apple-cut were Frank and "Bud" Wells, of Milford. Bob was afterward a prominent member of the Pennsylvania Legislature. Both "laid out" to attend. The day came, and when the boys began to make their prepara tion to start, they were unable to obtain a horse or wagon in the village. Every horse and wagon was engaged. Frank and Bub were in a dilemma. Eight miles over a hilly road was a long way to walk, and to miss the apple-cut would be something they would never cease to regret. The father of the boys was on undertaker who had a one-horse hearse with a seat in front with just room enough for one, and room inside suffi cient to receive a coffin snugly. The horse that the old gentleman drove to this vehicle was put of town. There was only one horse in the vil lage that was available, and that was a gray mare belonging to a neighbor. This mare was known as "The Tearer." She had the reputation of being the highest and strongest kicker in that region. To harness her it was necessary to get in the haymow above her and drop the harness on her with a pitchfork. The harness once on her, it was comparatively safe for a person to climb over the manager and buckle it. Then the mare would submit to being hitched to the wagon. But there was no telling at what moment she would think it incumbent on her to lift her heels in the air. "Frank," . said Bob, "we've got to hook the Tearer to our hearse, or stay home." "Tearer and hearse it is, then," said Frank, "for I'm going to that apple cut!" By a bock door they got into the barn where the Tearer was kept. Before they reached the mow with the harness she had kicked several boards off the side of the barn. After they dropped the har ness on her back she cooled down. They led her around to the shed where the hearse was kept and hitched her in safely. "I ll drive," said Bob, There was no place left for Frank ex cept inside the hearse. There was room only for him to lie at full length. Away they started for the apple-cut. As they drove out of town people wondered who was dead, that took Bub Wells and the hearse out of town at that time of day. The old mare was a good "goer," and she rattled the hearse along the Ding man ro&d at a lively pace. When they reached the Raymondskill bridge, three milles from Milford, Frank, unable to change his position inside the hearse, called out: "Bu-u-u-ub, ain't you tired o' driv in' ?" "Not a bit," Bub shouted back. I tell you the Tearer is a ripper. G'lang!" And away she went, faster than ever. Frank was jolted up and down with every motion of the hearse, until he hardly had breath or strength to make Bub hear him as he called out a mile further on: "S-a-a-a-ay, Bu-u-u-b, ain't you 'fraid the mare'll k-i-i-i-ck you? Better let me ! drive a while, ha-a-a-dn't you?'. j "There ain't no danger," replied Bub. i "Don't feel anxious about me, for I un ! derstand the Tearer. Besides, it's chilly out here, and you'd better stay where you're comfortable. Get out o' this,Tearer!" And she did. Up hill and down, smooth stretohes of highway and rocky places, were all the same to her. By the time they reached the foot of the long hill this side of Dingraan's ferry, two miles from their destination, Frank was almost in the last stages of suffocation, and nearly pummeled to a jelly. "B-u-u-u-b," said he, through the front window of the hearse, "it's too cussed mean to let that h-o-o-rse pull me up this hill. I want to walk. Let me o-u-u-ut." But the mare went up the hill like a shot. Seeing that Bub didn't intend to stop, Frank began to kick the door of the hearse out, so that he could back : himself out and drop to the ground. When Bub heard the work of demolition going on behind, he thought it would be : best to stop and give Frank a rest. A , half-mile or so this side of Dingraan's, j where the apple-cut was to be held, the ; road liegins a very decided down grade j going toward that village. Whtn Frank ! began to kick at the hearse door the , Tearer was rapidly approaching this hill. Bob began to pull up on her and cry i "Whoa !'' Her only response was a sav ' ago kick, without lessening her speed a ! particle. "Bang !" went Frank's heels against I the hearse door. " Wh o a-a, Tearer," said Bub, beseech ingly. "Spat !" came the Tearer's heels against the dashboard of tlie hearse. By the time the horse had reaohed the top of the hill Frank had burst the door open and had got his legs out of the hearse. The mare was going so fast that he was afraid to drop to the ground, and he was unable to draw himself back into the hearse. "Whoa!" shouted Bub, fiercely, 'as though to frighten the mare into obedi ence. "Whiz! bang!" she replied with her heels, and the dashboard cracked. Bub crept up on the roof of the hearse, and got astride of the narrow vehicle. Half way down the hill the mare gave a kick and put both hind feet through the dash board of the hearse. But she went right ahead on two feet, and Bub reined her up in that condition before the farmer's door. The girls and boys came running out. The lights from the house were full upon the new comers. Frank dropped from the inside of the hearse and Bub climbed down from the top. The Tearer stood still, with two legs on the ground, and two fastened in the front of the hearse. The boys cut the dashboard away from heels, and led her under the shed. They had a pleasant night, but Frank went home in the stage on the next day. Bub get the hearse home and housed safely before daylight. On the following morning his father said, inno cent like: "I didn't hear any thunder last night, but somehow lightning played hob with that hearse o' mine after I went to bed." The phenomenon of the perforation of rocks by sand carried on the wind has been observed in the valley of the Rhone in France. A very violent wind often prevails in the neighborhood of Uzes, and drives large quantities of sand against a band of quart zose pebbles con tained in a tertiary soil. The pebbles contain cavities which might be believed to have been made by human hands, but which are really produced by the often renewed friction of the sandy particles against their surface. A young lady artist married a young gentleman artist The undo of the bride made a call upon them and found them sitting ia opposite corners of their joint studio in the sulks, the husband saying that lis wife's waist was out of prooer- tion apd the wife saying that her hus bands nose was too small. idJknoi Sources of Dlseaee. : The ignorance or indifference of house builders and house buyers is responsible for most of the diseases arising from sewer gas. The trap alone is no protec tion, as it is exposed to such accidents as "sucking out," evaporation, and choking up. It is a fact, too, that a water trap will transmit sewer gas, absorbing it be low and giving it off above. Without a large and perfectly straight pipe extend ing from the drain to the top of the house, giving a free escape for all vapors formed in the sewer, no trap will afford any degree of protection. The traps are thus relieved from pressure and made reasonably secure. These are the commonplaces of sanitary science, but the number of householders who take the trouble to inform themselves upon such matters is exceedingly small. There is no doubt that any connection between the street sewer and the in terior of the house is a source of peril, even with the "best generally approved constructions" to prevent the entrance of sewer poison. TheBO connections should be reduced to the smallest possible number, Sinks do not need to connect with the sewer. The waste from all the sinks in the house is best disposed of through a pipe discharg ing, not intoj but over, a well-tapped cess-pit in tlie back yard. . If the cess pit be properly tupped, and care be taken to Keep it free from grease, no offensive odors will come from it. The general adoption of this plan would be followed ; by a marked diminution iu zymotic jdiseases. In the most city houses there are sinks in the main sleeping-rooms, or in the closets connecting with them. These sinks invite the deadly poison to enter the dwelling and do its work upon the occupants when their systems are least able to resist its effects, during the night. All sinks, whatever their construction, and par ticularly kitchen sinks, should be often and thoroughly freed from grease and decomposing matters. To any thoughtful person it is amazing that people in general are so wholly in different to the commonest sanitary ob servances. The board of health is a late product in the development of human society. The machinery for protecting life and property from lawless violence had existed iu a highly organized form, ages before there was such a thing as sanitary science, and even now that sci ence is understood by few. As for the masses, they go on heedlessly contami nating their homes, buying and using impure milk, unwholesome meat and vegetables, and unadulterated food. As a result of the exertions of a few wiser ones, we Lave sanitary officers, but it is not thought worthwhile to give them the necessary means of compelling obedienco to the laws. No doubt much has been accomplished by the energy and perse verence of some of our health officers; but, after all, against many sources of disease all they can no is to meet and re solve that any person who shall keep such a nuisance "shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. ew i or it limes. Kepentatoj. A man who as an overseer before the war had driven the darkeys with a whoop oame to the city yesterday. After taking two or three drinks, and feeling that pe culiar muscular growth so well known to men who stand around in "spiritual seance," the overseer went out on the treet with the swagger of a man noted for voting whole neighborhoods. An old blind man came walking along. The overseer looked haughtily to one side and stopped. The old man ran against him. "You old villain," exclaimed the over seer, hooking a hand in tlie old man's eollar, "haven t you got more sense than to run over a white man? "Marster, for de Lord, I hopes you 'skuse me." "Ah, yes, yon old rattlesnake; you thought that I would be afraid to tackle you, eh? "Marster, 'fore the lord, you mus' 'skuse me fur de ole man hain't seed a wink since long afore freedom." "Are you blind, old man?" "Yes, sab; blinder den ole Jacob at do time ob his death. "Give me your hand, ole man. Here, take tins tobacco. "Much obloeged, thankee, sah." "Here, take this pipe. Hare's a red handkerchief. Any man tliat would choke a blind man ought to be stripped. Here's fifty cents and some more tobacco, Here's a lot of flax thread. Take it all, old man. Here's more tobacco. Is there Anybody in town that Jyou want whipped? "No, sah; not a one." "If there is, I'll beat him till he feels like a pig with the thumps; you've seen pigs wim tue mumps, naven t you? "Yes, sah." "Well. I'll whale him till he has the thumps. Do you know of anybody that can wuup me? "Why. marster?" "Because, any man that would choke a blind darkey ought to be whipped. Hold on, don't go there's some more tobacco. Put this pint bottle in your pocket. I thought at first that I'd make my will in your favor, but to save law yer's fees. I'll eive un evervthinc now. Now, old man, just step back a few yards and butt me into the middle of the street. "Marster, I doan wanter hurt ye. I'se got a poweriui nard head. "Do just as I say, old man. Step back and let drive." The old man stepped back, bowed his neck, and with a bound struck the over seer so hard that he staggered out into the street and fell. "That's all right. sir," he said to himself, getting up and walking away. "Ho served you right. The next time you collar a blind nigger x n use my influence to have you killed. It Hardly Fays. A New Jersey merchant met an ac quaintance on a street car on the Ele vated yesterday, and, after some general remarks, the latter said : "I saw a newspaper notice that you had failed." "Yes, I went by the board." '.'Very bad ?" "Outside speculation, I suppose ?" "Partly." "Creditors willing to give you a chance to recover ? "Yes." 1 "Glad of it; I suppose you'll soon be all right?" "Yes. I tell you what, it is a very disagreeable business. I had to plead family extravagance, and my wife, who hadn't had a new dress for six months, was as mad as a hop. I proved that I had given too much to the church, and the minister called and raked me over the coals; I had a clerk abscond with a lot of cash, and the creditors made me own up that he was ray brother. I sup posed that I had lost $500 by a fire, but they figured that I was a $100 ahead. I figured on having enough to pay thirty cents on the dollar, but somehow they got hold of enough to pay ninety-eight, and put all the costs on me. I lost four weeks of trade on top of this, and I'm feeling awful blue. It hardly pays to fail unless you've got a partner to help bluff off creditors." Cabs of the Sow. Many persons yearly sacrifice their gains in swine raising by improper care of the sow, and unsuitable places and surroundings for littering. It is very essential to feed light and on light food for a few days before and after pigging. A week or ten days before the time, separate a sow from the rest of the herd, and see that she is provided with a suitable bed and a place for herself and pigs to eat. Sows generally go sixteen weeks, with but little variation. With proper food, quiet, and a little care at the proper time, a very small per cent, will be lost in breeding. It is best to insist on everything and everybody being quiet about your breeding pens. There waa a large boiler of scalding water over a fire in the yard and several block imps playing near it. Suddenly a shrill voice was heard from inside the shanty: "You Gawure Washington keen away from dat ar biler. D'rectly you ia ffwine ter nuset de biler all over wrse1f. and yes will be fust one to say, ' Twant me, mammy."' TUB LADIES' EMPORIUM AMD LACE ilOUaK.

A gentleman made up his mind that he would give his wife a pleasant Bur prise by spending the evening at home. After supper he settled himself down for a cozy timo in the bosom of his family. He had no more than comfortably fixed himself when his wife abruptly asked him if his friends didn't want him any longer. Then his mother-in-law aBked hi iu if he had exhausted his credit. The servant asked him if he was ill. One of the neighbors wanted to know if he had any trouble and was afraid of the law. All of which occurred in tweLty minutes, for in exactly half an hour he was be yond questioning range in his club. .
