Expects to make a fortune, no doubt, but it's my opinion he would have done belter at home than out in that barbarous country. The ties here weren't sufficient to hold him,U seems.' A flush, like the hue of a wild rose, crept over Blanche Corell's pretty blonde face. •Oh, mother I' she said, protestingly. 'Oh, of course, you believe in him, and trust him,' continued Mrs. Cored, meanwhile plying her needle ; 'but in my day men didn't prove their devotion in that way. If they wanted to marry a girl they married her, and when they went on their travels the wife went too. Lee is not Ja poor-man ; he has mote than enough to give a gill a good home, but he was always a wild lad, fonder of sensations aud Adventures than home pleasures. It's a pity, Blanche, you ever favored him. NcTw, there's Dudley—' •He has gone to Texas, too,' inter rupted Blanche, demurely. •Yes, but to keep a watch on Lee,l'll warrant. You know it was old Mr. Victor's notion, aud Dudley Mesroe has a great deal of influence ova (L e. He will keep him in the right path if anybody can.' •I think Lee is capable of being his own master,' said Blanche, with a lit tle flash in her gentian-blue eyes, 'and be is worthy a score of Dudley Mes roles.' Mrs. Uorell wisely refrained from pursuing the subject, but the regret that often stirred her anxious heart moved her now. From her infancy Blanche had found a firm friend and defender in Leo Vic toria time passed the affection be tween them assumed a new guise,deep er and sweeter,and then it was that the mother's fears began. The handsome young man, with his careless, debonair way and restless na ture, pleased her far less than his as sociate, whose gentle dignity and air of content won her favor at their first meeting. In all outward seeming Dudley Mes role was loyal to bis friend, but a chauce word, a glance from the quiet, brown eyes, proved to Blanche the re gard in which he held her. The night of their parting he had told her the truth. 'l'm going away,' he said. 'I may never see you again, Blanche, for I shall not return with Lee. Your heart is in his keeping, and while I wish you both complete joy, I could not live here and witness all the happiness I have missed. Good-bye, forever.' Twelve months went by. Letters from her lover were frequeot, and he wrote in glowing terms of his life and luck in the far south west. At last two weeks went by without the usual missives. Blanche,fearing her lover might|have grown ill, wrote a solicitous letter, but there came no reply; then in her anxie ty sheVrote to Dudley. Another fortnight passed. She was standing on the cottage porch one day at sunset, when a tall figure in a gray traveling suit came up the walk. Blanche sprung forward with a pal lor on her face, and her loyely eyes dark with something akin to fear. 'Dudley Mesrole, and alone!' she cried. Tell me—Lee ' He took her outstretched hands and looked down into her face with a pity ing expression on his own. 'Lee is safe,' he answered ; but there was a strauge intonation in his low voice. 'Let us go in, Blanche, I have much to say to yon,' She led the way to the little cottage parlor and sat beside him while he told his story. Lee Victor was false; he had wedded a girl from San Antonia, and Dudley had com 9 to break the news to her. Like a statue she sat, rigid and si lent, while that soft, musical voice re lated the treachery in a protest ing reluctant way, and those gentle hands held her own in a friendly clasp, and those regretful brown eyes looked down into the blue ones that were dark with anguish. 'I would have spared you this,' said Dudley, 'but is it not best that you should know ?' 'Yes, yes,' she murmured. 'You were always my friend, Dudley.' He smiled half sadly, and then went away leaving her alone with her sol row. On the morrow he came again, and the welcome accorded hi in by Mrs Oor rel was more ardent though scarcely less sincere than that of Blanche. In the new grief that had fallen upon her,she seemed 10 turn to him for sym pathy and solace, and in the days that followed they were nearer each other in spirit than they had ever been before Blanche bad neyer appreciated him as she did now. MILLHEIM PA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10., 1885. It was with a deep sense of regret she heard of his intended departure. 'My uncle has offered me a position in Calcutta, and I have accepted,' said Dudley. 'I thought our last parting was final, Blanche; I tried to he recon ciled then, but now—l have lost cour age, these few weens in your presence have unmanned me.' •And they have taught me the value of a true friend,' she answered, with downcast eyes. *1 shall miss you more than ever, Dudley.' A light gleamed in his eyes. He diew uearer and held out his hands. 'Come with me, Blanche. I have loved you long and faithfully. I will make you happy—only trust me.' She looked away with troubled gaze. 'I do not love youDudley,'she breath ed. 'Not—not as I loved him.' 'Love will come with time,' he urg ed. 'My life is worth uotbing to me without the biightness of your pres ence to clear it. Will you condemn me to a life of darkness, Blanche ? Must my love be forever unrequited ?' Partly out of pity for him, partly because she had found his companion ship so pleasant, Blanche yielded to his entreaties. It was necessary that Dudley should take an yearly departure. Within a week from the time he had gained Blanche's consent, an announcement of the marriage was made in the vil lage church,the ceremony to ensue two days later. It was a calm, clear April day. I", her simple robes of white, with the misty veil falling from her golden braids, half concealing the fair face beneath, Blanche stood at the altar be side the man to whom so soon she would be bound forever and aye. The sacred rites begin. Through the deep silence that prevailed in the place, the solemn words sounded clear and distinct,and Blanche listened with an icy chill at her heart. Then her dark eyes upraising saw, over the throng of watching faces, one that made her pulse tbrill. a white, haggard face, with heavy, reproachful eyes, the face of her old lover. Fler braiu whirled, she took a step forward unsteadily, and threw out her arms. 'Lee 1' she cried aloud, and fell pros trate. The light gossamer veil floated aside, and her face shone fair and pale in the blight sunshine. Dudley, bending over her, felt a strong hand thrust him aside, and a low voice breathed: Do not touch her ! I know now you have played me false. She is miue, Dudley Mesrole.' When Blanche returned to conscious ness, Lee Victor told his story. 'I have been ill,' he said ; so ill, Blanche, that even my physicians gave up all hopes of ray recovery. Dudley Mesrole was with meat the first. I dictated letters to you and my father which he wrote, but he must have de stroyed them afterward, for not one reached its destination. Then, while I lay at Death's door, he left me and came here. The rest you know. He hoped to wed you and take you with him to foreign shores before I returned and discovered his treachery. A mer ciful providence brought me back to day. Blanche—do you love me yet ?' 'More than ever, dear,' she murmur ed. It was a fortnight later that Blanche again stood at the altar, and heard the words that were now welcome to her. Lee Victor had won his bride. His false friend was not among the guests. Thirteen days ago he had be gan his journey to Calcutta. In Another Man's Business. A young man came into the car groping through the aisle for a seat. His left eye was covered with a red handkerchief and his right was swollen nearly shut. A white handkerchief, now blood soaked, was around his head, tied under his chin. He limped in one leg and didn't feel well in the other. "I say," said an inquisitive pass enger, "been in a railroad accident?" "Naw." Here was a brief pause, and then the inquiry: "Runaway?' ''Naw." Another pause, but finally the query. "Base ball?" "Naw." "Well, I say, exclaimed the inquisi tive passenger, warmly, "will you be kind enough to tell me how in the world you did get banged up in that style? " "Certainly, sir, "replied the afflicted individual, swinging his right arm around quite vigorously and display ing a big muscle, "certainly, sir, certainly. I tried to stick my nose jnto another man's business." 4* A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE. HUMILIATED COWBOYS. The Lesfion That Was Taught Them by an Unobtrusive Tenderfoot. There have been a great many stories told of the reckless daring and abandon of the cowboy. Ho is <an American production, and at the sound of the word cowboy the mind reverts to some western locality where law and order are unknown, and are supplied by a rude set of conventionalities, tiie non observance of which means violence without process of trial. The typical cowboy must be fearless, ready to shoot at a moment's warning, wild in his make-up and language, and ready to perpetrate a joke on a 44 tenderfoot" at any time. But there is often considerable brag gadocia in the cowboy, and a good illus tration of this fact was told a Sentinel reporter by a station agent, who had lived in the west for many years and had been in the employ of various rail roads in localities where cowboys were numerous. 44 1 have seen a good many daring deeds performed and coarse jokes per petrated by cowboys," said the agent, "but 1 will tell you of a little incident where the wind was taken out of three cowboys by a determined, fearless ten derfoot.' It happened only last spring. I was then station agent and telegraph operator for the Northern Pacific Rail road company at a place near the Mon tana line. It was not much of a place, as it consisted only of a'depot, a house or two, and a saloon. "One morning a traveling man ar rived at tho depot by stage from up north somewhere. He had a small sample-case and satchel. He was be low medium height and mther slight, but was very neatly dressed and wore a silk hat. He was traveling for a New York jewelry house. He was a bout an hour early for the train east, and lie opeued his grip on the platform, took out a brush, and dusted his cloth ing and shoes. He then drew out an old newspaper, leaned up against the side of the depot with one foot project ed in front of the other, and began reading. "J/eanwhile, howeyer, three cowboys had sauntered up to the depot. They all eyed him closely and watched his operations When he began reading they huddled together and talked a wlnle in an undertone. Presently one ot them—a big six-footer—left the group and began to saunter carelessly about the platform with his head in the air inspecting the posters on the build ing and the cornice. When lie got a round where the traveling man stood, lie lifted his big brogati and planted it Gimly on the jewelry man's foot. No apology was made. The traveling man merely looked up, drew his foot back a moment, then placed it back where it was. The cowboy passed back to the other two. They all chuckled aud join ed in a low-toned conversation. "Soon the cowboy started out again on a similar round, gaping at the roof. When he reached the traveling man he tried to bring down his course boot on the extended foot. The traveling man jerked his foot back suddenly, and the brogan came down with a thump on the platform. Another conference and chuckling followed. Finally the cow boy set out on the third round. Just as he was auout to raise his foot to plant it on that of the traveling man, the latter looked up quickly and said : " 'See here, there is my foot, and it's going to stay there. You step on it if you want to, but I want to tell you that before you can get off I will kill you.' "Such a volley staggered the cowboy. He looked at the foot, and then at the small possessor, and finally moved off without stepping on it. Another con sultation iollowed. "The traveling man calmly read his paper a few minutes, and then took from his satchel three apples. He look ed at them a moment, aud suddenly threw them a few feet into the air and then quickly drew a revolver, fired three shots, splitting each apple into a dozen pieces before they readied the ground. He replaced the cartridges in the empty chambers of the revolver, and returned it to his pocket. "The cowboys witnessed the act without saying a word, and soon, com pletely cowed, turned and left the de pot. The traveling man told me after they left that he would have killed the three of them had the fellow stepped on his foot again, and I think he would, as he was quick as lightning. He then showed me a medal he carried, which he won as being the most rapid-and one of the best shots in New York. The story simply illustrates that there is sometimes a great deal of fictitious va lor and daring about the cowboy."— Milwaukee Sentinel. —Deininger's Ready Reference Tax Receipt Book ts growing in public fa vor.

It was rather a high-toned place and contained among its members as flue a lot of young ladies and gentlemen as you would care to meet. Well, one day in midsummer—and it was a terri ble hot day, too—while we were all down at dinner, a man entered the hall door, which was standing open, and gathering up tho hats on tiie rack in a pile—there was about thirty of them, and some fine ones, too—lie started down the slfcps. Before lie reached the sidewalk he met a salesman who was a little late for dinner, and who asked him what he was doing with all those hats. 44 Why," said the fellow, "I'm a hat dealer just around the corner, and am going to e'ean those hats while the gentlemen are at dinner." 'All right,' replied the salesman, 44 take mine along, and clean it up, too." There was soon the biggest crowd uI bare-headed clerks in the house you ever saw. And the one who saw the rascal lugging the hats all off, and helped him, too, by giying him his own hat —well we near ly thumped the life out of him. A Professional Engineer. The Result of Monkeying with a Boiler by a Greenhorn. "I don't want to pass through an other such a season as the one through which I have just passed," said Dan l'arkright, the actor. "Have had a hard time, eh ?" some one replied. 44 Yes, about as tough a time as a white man cares to see. O went to pieces in Texarkana. Having done some little work -in a newspaper way, I decided to play journalist until times got better, but,sir, 1 couldu't get a place. I offered to work for mv board, but no, I couldn't get in. After awhile, giving up the journalistic idea, 1 struck out afoot. I wantt*! to avoid the regular lines of travel so that my chances for getting something to eat would be better, consequently I went through the country. Houses were few, and I came very nearly starving to death. One day I came upon a small saw mill, situated in a dense forest. I stopped and just as I was about to ask for something to eat, a man—who I soon discovered owned the mill—turn ed to me aad asked: 44, D0 you understand this business:" <4 Ah, a chance for work. 4 Yes, sir', I replied, 4 1 am well acquainted with it.' '"Know anything about running an engine?' 444 0h, yes, it's my business.' "'Well, I'm mighty glad to see you. My engineer quit me yesterday, and I can give you regular employment. What will you work for?' "'Two dollars a day.' "•That's pretty steep, but as you are a professional engineer I reckon you are worth it. Come in and have some dinner, and then you may go to work.' "1 went in and proceeded to devour his dinner. I was a trifle nervous in view of mj coming responsibility, and I tried to think of everything I had read applicable to machinery. I knew how to start the thing and 1 knew how to stop it, but that was about all. After dinner I boldly walked up, and when everything was in readiness, turned the little hot wheel. Away she went. One of the hands, an old negro, remarked to some one who stood near him: 'Dat white man. un'erstan's his business, sho's yer borne, he do.' I was getting along flnely, and I saw that the proprietor was pleased. A spring of cold water gushed out of the ground a short distance from the mill. I went down to get a drink. Just as I stooped down an awful jar shook the earth. My gracions! the mill's boiler had exploded. The proprietor, who escaped unhurt, rushed at me with dangerous fury. I thought that I would cool him off with a pleasant re mark, and I said to him: "'Hold on, Cap'n why didn't you tell me the thing was loaded?' "The pleasant remark was a failure, for I saw that he could not take a joke. He rushed into a shanty, brought out a Winchester rifle and shot at me as long as I was in the neighborhood. The tiring, I think, stopped about sun down that evening. I was glad when I came to the mill, but 1 was a great sight gladder when I got away." Arkansaw Traveler. THERE is a clock at Brussels which comes about as near being a perpetual motion machine as can be invented, for the sun does the winding. A shaft ex posed to the solar rays causes an up draught of air which sets the fan in motion. The fan actuates mechanism which raises the weight of the clock until it reaches the top, and then puts a break on the fan until the weight has gone down a litcle, when the fan is a gain liberated and proceeds to act as before. As long as the suu shines fre quently enough, and the machinery does not wear out, the clock is practic ally a perpetual motion machine. Terms, SIOO per Year, in Advance. So-Hateful With a Rifle. Arkansjfcvv Traveller.] Minnie S.ickmeyor, only daughter of old Hudspeth Sacktueyer, was said by every one to bo the handsomest girl in Moffat county, Arkansaw, The old man though he loved a ld-cent piece with painful ardor, sent Minnie to a boat ding-school where she received a libera) education. Sluully after re turning home, she became acquainted with liat vey Watson, a young lawyer. This acquaintance so pleasantly begun skipped friendship and bounded into love. * They bccatne to gaged. Watson had no idea the old man would oppose him, but lie soon 1 anied that lie had lightly estimated the old fellow's char acter. "Mr. Sackmeyer," add the lawyer, meeting the old man in the field, "I suppose you have noticed the attach ment whit h has sprung op between your daughter and myself." "What 1" exclaimed the old man, throwing down his hoe and starting at the lawyer. "No, sir, I haven't no ticed any such a blamed thing, and ] don't want to notice it, uutbei, let. me tell you." "Why, my dear sir, I did not think that you would clject to our mar riage." "I don't object to your;), but I don't 'low that you shall marry my daughter. I didn't spend so much money on her education to have her lling herself a way." "You don't knew what you are talk ing about," replied Watson. "I stand hign at the btr, even if I do say so my self. I have an income more thau suf ficient for the support of a wife." "Oh, you ken blow your own ho'n, I ken see that, but I don't kere how much money you ken make. It don't take away the fact that you air a law yer. My daughter shall never marry a lawyer, I can tell you." "What have you against lawyers ?" "The back o' my hand,that's what." "What is your reason ?" "Reason euough. A confounded lawyer tuck a case agin me some time ago an' beat me outer the best steer I ever seed." "I have nothing to do with that.Mr. Sackmeyer. You caonot condemn all lawyers for a wrong which you fancy "Fancy thunderation ! Don't I know when a man does me a mean trick ? Don't I know when he works agin me V" "So you declare that I shall not mar iv your daughter." "Was than that. I swear it." "Suppose we marry anyway." "If you do, it won't be good for you. I'd follow you to the end of the woild to git a shot at you,an' I'm awfu! with a rifle, the neighbors say." Watson turned away. He loyed the girl, but he did not want the old man to get a slut at him. He doubted not but that the girl would run away with him, but ne could not afford to leave a business, which, to build up had re quired years of hard work. lie went to the house. Minnie, with anxious face and an ill-at-ease manner, met hira at the door. "What did be say, Harvey ?" "Said that we should not marry." "Oh, how hateful; but, precious, can we not run away ?" "l'es, we could run away, but " "But what ?" "We'l, you see, I hinted something of the kind, jjnd he said that if we did he would follow me to the end of the world to get a shot at me." "Oh, how hateful." "Do you suppose that he would do it ?" "Yes, precious, he would ihoot the top of your head off. He's awful hate ful with a rifle." "I think," said the lawyer after a few moments of perplexed meditation, "that we'd better worry along with him a while. Perhaps we may gain his consent." "Yes, that will be the best. Re member that I would run off with you in a minute if he wasn't so awful hate ful with a rifle." Seyeral weeks afterward, Watson won a large railroad case. The report that he had received a fee of $5,000 was circulated throughout the country. Hoping that Sackmeyer had beard of the decision and that it might haye in fluenced him, Watson hurried to the farm. He found Minnie in a state of happy expectancy. She knew that her father could no longer oppose the mar riage. Watson went out into the field where the old mn was at work. "llow do you do, Mr. Sackmeyer ?" "Middlin'; how is it with yourself ?" "First rate. 1 suppose you heard of my recent success "Yes " "Do you still object to our mar riage ?" "Yas. Don't kere if you wuster gain a hundred cases, you shouldn't have her." NO. 48.

Minnie's face beamed with happiness when Watson CDuveyed to her the joy ous intelligence. "I'm so glad," she said, "that we won't have to run away, for pa is aw ful hateful with a rifle." An Item for the Ladies. FOR all ditiners, says Harper' Ba zaar, there is entirely a new departure iu the way of decorating the table. All the flowers are put on in high vases, so that the guests can look underneath the flowers. The Carlsbad beer glasses, called "schooners," are very much used to hold the high-waying bouquets. The elaborate dinner cards are all gone out, and a plain card stamped with the monogram of the hostess alone marks the place where the guest is to sit. A menu is placed for the host or hostess on a little porcelain slate held up by a bracket, but that is the only one on the table. For both ladies, and gentle men's dinners the same arrangement of wine obtains, except that at the former sherry and bitters are not offered. It is only fair to say that scarcely any of this wine is drunk by ladies, therefore it seems ostentatious to serye it so free ly Two soups, white and clear, will be passed, and two kinds of fish, to giye each guest a choice. An old fashion is being revived of bringiag in the roast on a silver platter, the host carving. Silver dishes are used for the vegeta bles and for the salads, but not to eat from ; there is something unpleasant in cutting anything on a silver dish. The finest of Derby ware'or porcelain should be used for the plates. Cut glass is very much in fashion for the ornamen* tal d'shes of the table. We hear many inquiries as to the propriety of buyiog the colored glass now in fashion for the table. It is very pretty, but one may grow tired of it. /Some of it is too gau. dy for taste. For ladies' lunches also a truce has been sounded to tho expen sive decorations of dinner cards, paint ed ribbous and bags for bonbons. The menu also has been simplified. Chops with peas, a spannish omelet (a deli cious dish this), birds broiled, Iried po tatoes, mushrooms on toast, artichokes, salads, champagne, coffee and fruit; this is now deemed a very stylish lunch for ladies, and is not overloaded. Roasted almonds, salted, make a yery good relish after the sweets. Plenty of Stocks, but no Cigars. The stranger who hails from the Fast and has the odor of wealth about him no sooner registers at a hotel in Virginia City than he is approached by a pale faced, intellectual gentleman with downcast eyes, who observes : "Perhaps you are looking an invest ment ? Shares in the Great Colorado Irrigation Company are bouud to ad vance twenty per cent, inside of a month. Chance to clear $50,000 in six weeks." "Don't want any." "Then you might have your pick of stocks in fifty-six silver mines, four teen new banks, five new tailroads, two navigation complies, fiye oil wells, six canal companies and twenty-one proposed new cities. Sure to double your mouey in four weeks." "Don't want any." "Then, stranger, for heaven's sake lend me a dollar ! I haven't had a de. cent cigar nor a square meal since I cau remember. •Don't come out here to be a burden on the county." ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
