Mh"rti*ers mai:i.anoieoftht TUK DISAPPOINTMENT. It was a warm, bright Sunday af ternoon in mid-siiti*nß*r. Sunday school was just over, and Minnie ltenton came from the church with several of ner young companions. They were talking veiy earnestly, and you could tell by their happv, smiling faces that tney wove ex pecting some rare treat. Minnie came to her gate first, aud with a cheery "Good-by, girls," rati into the house and into the pleasant sittiugroom. where her mother was rocking the •baby. "Oh, mother," said Minnie, "we rre going to have a picnic. Don't you think it will bo nice ? It is go iug to be a week from uext Wed resdav if it don't tain, aud I hope it will not. We arc going oewu to the lake and have dinner iu the grove. I can go, cau't I mother ?" "I hope you may," said Mrs. Ben ton, smi'ling, "since you want so very much to. But there is ttie dinner-bell ; now come to dinner and we will taik about the picuic some otuer time." The days passed very slowly to Miunie, as they do to us all when we are waitiug for something we want. Mrnaie's basket was pack ed, aud -ale had everything ready for an early start. Sue had watch ed the suu set and felt sure it would be pleasant next d \v. When Minnie awoke in the morn ing she jumped out of bed and ran to the wiudow. It was a beautiful morning, not a cloud to be seen where in the bright blue sky Minnie thought the day had cer tainly begun as pleas mt as any one could wiob. • When she went down to the breakfast room she found her father -arid-mother talking very earnestly. J uet as she entered the room she beard her mother say, "l\>or little girl! lam very sorry for her." "What is it, mother! Wnat is the matter V" asked Miuuie. *'i)o yoa veujeuioer Annie White, the little girl we used to go and sea last winter when her mother was so sick T" "Yea; mother." "Well, Mrs. White has been here this morning. Her brother. An nus'* uncle Charles, is very sick, and he has sent for his sister to come to liira to-day. Annie will bay ito stay at home from the pic nic and take care of her little broth er. Mrs, White will not be home until night, and sue c tuuot take the baby with her." "Oh, mother," said Minnie, "Isn't it too bad ? lam sorry fo- Anuie. She alapist always has to stay at home and take care of the baby when the other girls are play ing and having a 'good time. She felt sure she could go to Ihe picuic this time ; now she will not only have to stay at home, bat her unile is sick too, and she in ist feel so very badly about th it, for her uu cle Onarles is always so kind to her. I wish, mother, I ould d> some thing for her, so the day would uot seem so long and lonesome." "Do you reallv waut to make her bappy, Minnie V" ' "Oh, mother, bow could I V What could I do ?" "I think you can, if you choose, make this day pass very pleasantly for Annie ; but if you do, you will have to give up sumething you waut very much.'" "i)o you mean give up the picnic, mother!" said Minnie, her eyes tilling with tears. "Isn't there any other way ? Couldn't I take her to the picnic with uie ?" "No, dear, she cannot go to the picnic ; and if you decide to try and make her enjoy the day, I see r.o other WO7 than to give up the picnic yourself and go and stay with her. You may take your basket with yoil and have a little picnic there lam not going to tell you to go ; you may do just as you pte.iss. You had better thiDk about It, and come and tell me after break fast what you will do. If you go and stay with Annie, y>u must go cheerfully, and not uauke her feel that you are giving up so much for her sake. It would be better uot to go at all than to go as though you did pot want to." Minnie went opt and sat down un der a f ree where she could hear the birds singing. How couli she give up this picnic of all ethers ?—she had thought so much about it, aad was such a beautiful day. X.ien she thought of Annie alone with her baby-brother all day. She ♦vttf.y s : .w upon.H •*' very tired and lonesome if site had no one to stay with her, and she said softly, "No, 1 must not leave tier. I could not enjoy anything to-day if I did." After breakfast Minnie went to her mother and said : "I'll go and stay Willi Annie ; hut I'll wait till they have gone, for they will go by Annie's house, and I don't care to see them." Bat Minnie had to Bee them, af ter all, for it was not long before she heard a rattling of wheels, and happy voice.) singing out on the air. Minnie stood %eeide lier mother and watclted them all pass. They all looked so happy and the banners waved so prettily in the air that Miunie could scarcely keep back the tears. She struggled hard to bo cheerful, and In her heart she asked Jesus to help her. She was cheered by having her mother i iy, "you are a brave little giile, my daughter." When Minnie reached Mrs. White's, she found Annie walking in the yHrd with her little brother, and with eyes very red fiooi crying. She looked up very inquiringly A3 Minnie opened the gate. "O.i, Annie," said Minnie, "I have come to stay with you. Moth er told me you must stay at home aione all diy ; any de parted she entered the parlor, sank Into the red rocking chair, and then timidly asked: •'Mr. Joy, cam 'I trust you ?" "Madame, you can,'* he prompt ly replied. "I don't like to hear a man praise himself, but I believe I can go to any grocery in Detroit a d get trusted for one dozmi clothes pins without having to leave any security whatever. 1 now have in nay possession thirty.five cents, which were handed me by a street car driver to buy som* tinted note paper, and if fem lizzie one c-mt of it I hope to be bdd headed all niv days' Yes, madam,-you can trust me." "I—l was married about three years ago," begin the woman, after considerable hesitation. "Dm't doubt it in the least, ma-dam, .and & suppose it was a case of love "It seemed ay. My hns"band seemed to think everything of me, and I know I almost worshipped him. We were very happy until a year ago." "Yes, I suppose e, madam. As Milton says 7 "Ha called ma his bride—hi* angel— I thought Mm the dearest on earth; And we'll dance all night 'till broad day light, And—and—and forth." "A few months ago," she softly continued, "he began Aiding fault because £ did not use more big words in talking, a*id he said that my grammar was perfectly awfuL Not a day pisses that lie dosen't upbraid me and sometimes I wish I were dead !"

"And he never finds buttons off h { B shirts—uever comes home to meals and Onus the stove cold and you g-issiping over the gate ?" "He never has to wait one min ute for any of his meals, sir." "Your husband had no fault to fiod for a year or two—didn't seem to notice you t lack of big words while the honeymoon lasted V" "No." "Very well, madam ; your hus band's coat is too big to fit him in the back, but I think we can put another on him. Nnw, then, will you do as I tell you ?" "O, sir, I couldn't poison him— couldn't do suoh a thiog," she ex claimed. "Pizen ! Madam, do I resemblo a flo >ne Tree and Clark's. The sky was streaked in the North west with vivid flashes of light, and a terrible rumbling sound made known that a dreadful st< rui was iin ni ient. A massive cloud was extending a whirling toward ttie earth aud sweeping with great fury whatever came before it. Jeu oie—i girl vn > was working in certain hotel here— \va< buiy at the stove prepari ig for the next meal. Hearing a rattle at the side door, Jennie went to the door and opened it. As she did so she was caught from the doorway bv the whirling wind and carried over the house, turning round and round in the air as she went, and after approaching the ground on the other side she again ruse, and was taken by the whirling wind over the stores and dwellings a distance of three-fourths of a mile, being lowered so that her feet could touch the ground as many as eirbt times during the trip. Ex hausted, hut in an erect position, she was at I ist lowered to the earth as lightlv as a .'eather would fall, having received no material injury, though almost frantic with fright. The storm proceeded on its wav, leaving t>er in sight of the town, and in half an hour she again put in appear ince at the hotel, where anxious friends were bewailing her sudden and mysterious departure.— Chicago Journal. ROADS IX BADKX. In the Grand Duchy of Baden, In Germany, the government has built maguificient macadamized road*, as s month as Central Park rides. These are lined on both sideß by fruit trees—pears. apples, cherries, plumß,—and it is asserted the frfiit aione pays the full cost of repairs. All the droppings of the road are carefully and constantly scraped around these trees. The rain wa ter of the road beds is led to them, and they bear most bountifully choice and valuable fruit. Tiie beauty of such roads, nieelv shaded, well kept, and in a picturesque country, is a thing never forgotte i. A LONG TRAIN.— On the North ern Central Rail road of Pennsylva nia, lately, engine No. 4 drew from Clark's Perry to bunbury, a dis tance of thirty-one miles, a tram consisting of 133 empty freight cars, one loaded eight-wheeler, two ca booses, and a dead engine. It was up-grade work, but the trip was made at the rate of ten miles an hour. The train was 6,200 feet long or 820 feet more than a mile, and, it is claimed, was the longest ever drawn by a single engine. C FIEAr KANSASLANDS We own and ; ntrl the lUilwav lands of TKKHOCOUNTY.
