I never KUpjsistsl that, in living a seleiitille man, the art of being able to cook well canm along with it. liut no doubt you are right, aud, if you think you can manage for a fort night, I'll go to mother's to-morrow." "Manage? Of course I can manage. And you shall see that I will have as neat a bouse ami as good a table as you, aud not spend all of my time puttering round, as women do, either." So Mrs. Johnson, relying upon her bus band's capacity as a household-manager,de parts! for her mother's. Mr. Joliiisou had invited Sain Brooks, a bachelor chum of his, to come ami lioard at the house with him during the absence inl iter will cook while wo arc down town, o course. My wife always gets it going, and then sits down to her s<-w iug or fancy-work, till it's time to put it ou tin* table. Brooks, did it ever strike* you that women have an all-tlrcd easy time of it ?" "Of course they have," said Brooks, with emphasis. "Anylssly could sea* that, with half an eye. Ye t they're always complain ing of lieing overworked." "Well, women arc natural eomjilainers, I supjscsc," said Johnson, hunting arouml af ter his wife's apmn, and getting .it on up under his arms, wrong-side-nut. Now lam uniformed. IA*I US wash the dishes aud talk over what we'll have for dinner." He seized the lsiiling tea-kettle from the stove, but dropped it instantaneously, and the wa ter ran into the coal in the hod, and under the mat,and under the disr into thedinuiiig rohui. "Ou-g-h !" cried Johnson, blowing and rubbing his scalded wri-*t, "it must have been the steam. Confound tin* thing ! 1 didn't think of the steam. Good gracious; the water's running all over the house. Give me a rag. quick ! I'll mop it up. lie seized the tine damask table-cloth which Brooks handed him from a drawer in the kitchen, got down on his knees, and commenced sopping up tho water. "Your coat-tails are in the coal-hod," cried Brooks. "By George ! it s tcni bad, and that delicate gray, too 1" Johnson got up w iih a hurried whisk of the tails aforesaid, and they swept a five dollar china tureen from the table, and broke it into fragments. "It never rains but it jsuirs," sabl John son, striving hard to k<*ep his temjw-r. as he surveyed the wet hlu< k streaks on his coat. "I'll scud it to my uncle in the country,and say nothing to Anne about it. \\ e've made rather a bad beginning. Sain : but we shall couie out all right. And we'll wash the dishes iu cold water." "Which will you do—wash or w ijM* ?" asked Brooks. "I'll wash, 1 localise I liave got. .*bi apron on," said Johnson,as he piled the dishes in to the pun miscellaneously, tin pans and china all together, and dashed some cold water on them. "Where's the dish-cloth, I wonder ?' i*>king around under the sink, and bringing to light a calico rag, which bad evidently been used to clean lamps. "What in the dickens is that smells so strong of kerosene ?" asked Brooks, sniffing the air suspiciously. "1 wonder if I've got any on my clothes ?" glancing around him, and examining the skirts of his coat. "By Jove, Johnson, it's your dish-cloth! The oil is fairly dripping out of it." Johnson threw it on tho floor with a ges ture of disgust, and substituted the towel they hail just wiped their hands on. The cold water flew in every direction, but the grease did not start on the dishes. Brooks suggested soap, which slightly mended matters, but. was not entirely satisfactory. "Socins to mo the dishes don't feel nor smell just as they do when Anne washes them," said Johnson, thoughtfully ; "but then perhaps it is imagination. Now, Sam, what shall we have for dinner ?" "Perhaps it had better be a simple one,till we get the hang of things a little more, said Sam, with caution. "\N hat do you say to a chicken-pie, tenderloin steak, a custurd pudding, and some light hot biscuit .' "Adinlrabl e! Nothing could bo better or simpler. I w ill go out and order the chick en and the steak and you shall make the pudding. 1 guess Anne would stare if she could see how nicely we are doing. He put on another coat, went out, and soon returned with the chicken and steak. Brooks was making the pudding. Ho had an old cook-book on the shelf before him, which he looked at surreptitiously now and then. . , , He broke his eggs into a tin pan, ]xmml in some milk, dumped in a seoopful of su gar, salted the compound, gave it a stir, and set it down on a chair ; while he and John son went to the window, to see an old man, who had lost his hat, run after it. The sight was quite inspiriting, owing to the high wind which was prevailing. And, when the two housekeepers returned to business, they were just in season to see Bounce, Mr. Johnson's ]>et pointer, clean ing out with the most scrupulous nicety the disli where the embryo pudding had been left* "We won't say anything about it to An ne," said Mr. Johnson ; "she might think c wore o iri-loss. Now,H.uu, yon ooiisfrnol the biscuit, al I'll go fur the jiie. I won der If this elileki-n Is :i lien? Humph I h HIIIOIIN rather old—or something ; but, of eon ran, it's ail r<-,id\ to t-imk. Now lor lie crust—Hour nyd wnler and l;dtliijj-|s>w,ler. Tlu-y make all kinds of pastry—don't they ?" "Yes, ves. That is, l think so,"said Ham, a little doubtfully. "That is, all the nown p i|M*r-iulvertisi-iueiits say that haklUE-|sw der w ill do anything ; and of course it will make pie-crust." Johnson bad taken oil' his onil's, and pour ed a couple of quarts of water Into a pan ; which he stirred thoughtfully, and wldel several spoonfuls of baking-jsiwder. "This amount of water will make crust enough—won't it, Sam "I should say so," returned Ham, mani pulating Ids "light" biscuit, the dough of which was sadly inclined to run up his arms, under his coat-sleeves, and two big dabs of which were sticking, all unnoticed, to the legs of his pantaloons. Johnson stirred in the Hour rapidly, put ting in a gissl deal of muscle, ami making the Hour fly right and left. His hair and whiskers and eyebrows were pepjieml, and, when he had stirred in all the Hour there was in the house, the mass was still a little thill. •'lty Jove I" said Johsoii, eyeing the result before him, "there is a half a bushel of it ; 1 never saw so much chicken pie t rust Is*fore. Hut this is a large chicken— a full-grown one—adult, in fact, mid a strong one, too, or my nose deceives me ; but 1 guess this crust will hold hitu. Hold it op ii in the middle, Sam, while 1 envelop biped in the crust." The chicken, with his legs and head still adorning his body, was put into the middle of the dough, and the covering jutted down. Johnson stcppid back and eyed the con struction of his hands critically. "Ham," said he, "1 think—yes, I am cer tain that Anno never cooks them with their legs on." So they cut off the legs, thrust the mass into the oven of the stove,put some potatoes to lMiil, opened the draught of the stove, locked the house, and went down-town. At three, serenely smiling,our two lionsc k*c|K.*rs ascended the front stejisof the John son mansion. An *lor, infinitely worse tlfan the atmosphere of any soap-boiling es tablishment. met them as the door opened. They looked at each other. "What in the dickens is it?" they cried in chorus, anil lsith made for the kitchen. No wonder there had lieen a smell. The chicken-jie had burned fast to the bottom of the oveu, and lay there, with the smoke jmiiriug from it., a blackened mass of cinders; and Hani's light biscuit had burned entirely up, and left nothing but the pan, which had melted down into a mass of solid tin, and run out ou the tloor, which it had set on tire, and which was smoldering away threatening every moment to burst into a tlame. The only wonder was that the house had not loen burned down before they re turned. The tea-kettle had boiled dry, and crack ed iu two, and everything iu the room was covered with a dejiosit of the very blackest soot. The two confederates exchanged glances. But tlicy did not sjMiak. It war. no time for words. Jobusou seized the duster, and lwgnn to whisk the s>ot from the furniture, while Sam, with a courage which did him cmlif, proceeded to take the chicken-pie out of the oveu, by the lu*lp of tongs. 'I declare, Johnson," said he, as he hur riM along, with the grease dripping from his burden and smearing the kitchen-floor from one eiul to the other, "I Wlievo that the reason the thing smelted so strong was that wc didn't take out the insides of the critter." "Jerusalem !" said Johnson, "is that so ? Well, if that's the ease, it's lucky for us that it burned up." The two men set to work to wipe up the floor, ami. while thus engaged, the door-l>cll rang. "You go," said Johnson. "You ain't so smutty as I am." "No, you go," said Br *>ks. "I am so hot, I shall take cold." While they parleyed, the unmistakable giggle of young girls broke on their cars, ami consternation seized tliem. "It's Anne's sister Kate," criisl Johnson. "And Mary 11 at ley, too," cried llrooks. "And I wouldn't have licr we mc for all I'm worth. Great Peter what shall I do ?" "Kate has got a key. She will conic in in spite of us,"cried Johnson. "Anne gave it toher, so that she need not wait at the door. Perdition take the girls ! Why couldn't they have waited till we'd got things straightened out ? I'm going to run for it." As lie finished Johnson dove down the cellarstairs, while Brooks followed. Both men hid ls'liind the coal-bin. Soon the girls' voices were heard in tlic kitchen above. Exclamations, peals of silvery laughter, rattling of dishes, and a melee of sounds generally. And then the two culprits in the cellar heard the girls descending the cellar-stairs. "They are hiding somewhere, of course," said lvatc. "Charley has bragged so much of how* he could cook, and keep a house in order, that he'd rather die than face us. And ho knows I should tell Anne. Good heavens, what a mess !" The girls came daintily along, holding up their skirts. Directly Kate got a glimpse of Haul's tare, smeared with smut, and hair disordered. She uttered a piercing scream. "It's a negro," she cried, seizing Mary and dragging her back. "He's as black as the ace of spades. And sueli a dreadful countenance. I shall die of fright." "Two of them," cried Mary, as Sum and his friend rose from their concealment. "Heaven help us ! I'll call the police." Hlic started to rush up the stairs, but Sum Brooks caught her by the skirts and held her buck. "Do stop, Mary—for heaven's sake, stop, and don't, make an alarm. It's only Char ley and I. and we—we —that is, we've been doing a little cooking,ami we aiut just ready to see company—" "Oh, Charley, Charley," cried Kate, "what would Aline say if she could see how you've kept house ?" "I was an ass to boast," said Charley, frankly, "and I am willing to confess it. You may tell Anne so when you write to her. And Sam and I will get our meals at a hotel. I tliiyk it will be cheaper, and eas ier for all concerned." "I should think it would," said Kate. Sam and Mary Hartley lingered behind, to say that they thought it would, too ; ami to say something vague and sweet about tho housekeeping they two proposed to set up jointly. Duly Mary, not Sam, was to be housekeeper. Charley Johnson is a "sadder" if "wiser" man. lie never brags any more about how j nicely lie can keep house. — Peterson's Maga zine. Terms, SI.CO per Year, in Advance. AN KXKMY WON liefnriili)£ (Jootl for Kvll A Fourth of July .Story. For years a bitter feud had oxistod between the two hading physiciuns of Oakland. At oue time they had been iutiuiato friends, and young Dr. Park er had been the acknowledged suitor of old Dr. Romans' sweet daughter Cicely. It was at a fourth of July celebra tion that the trouble arose, and the beginning of the quarrel had its ori gin in a very trivial thing too. Both men hud been invited by the citizens to participate in tho exercises of the day, and in his address the old doctor saw proper to tako exception to some slateincots made by tbe younger one. Being some thing of a politician, Dr. Purkerresented tho liberty taken by his friend, and then tbo old man in scath ing words denounced tbe 'young up start, who thought to teach those who iiad forgotten more than he had ever known.' The idle tongues of ihc gossips were not slow in repeating the comments made by thoughtless persons, and thus, instead of the breach being healed, it grew wider and wider. Dr. Parker, though quick to redress a wrong, was the more generous and even after hot words had passed between them 1 , came to bis enemy and, frankly confessing his own fault, sought an amicable rec onciliation. The old man though the one to give the first offense, was furious and or dered his antagonist to leave his louso immediately and forever. Strong as was the attachment ex isting between Cicely and the young doctor, she was too dutiful a daughter to carry on a clandestine courtship even if the honorable young man bad proposed such a course. No formal en gagement existed between them, and when at her father's command, the letters ehe had received were returned without one word of explanation. Dr. Parker quietly submitted to his fate, more convinced than ever that women were as fickle as they had been rep resented. Thus several years rolled by and the two men were still estranged, and perhaps would have so remained dur ing life, bad not a circumstance brought them together. It was as follows: Oue dark, stormy night Dr. Parker was riding home as fast as the rain, which heat in his face, ond the slippery condition of the roads would justify. Slackening his pece, when be entered the 'narrows,' he was moving cautiously when his horse shied suddenly, and almost throwing bim to the ground. By the faint light of the lantern which bo carried he could see the debris of what seem ed to he a broken sulky. Supposing that some unfortunate traveler bad met with an accident, and had lelt the vehicle by the side of the road until morning, he attempted to pass, but the horse only shorted and scented the air with his nostrils; he would not move a step to the right hand or the left. Dismounting, to ascertain the eause of the strange actions, he dis discovered to bis dismay, that the battered sulky huug half over the pre cipice. He was about to lead his frightened steed to a place of safety, when a faint moan startled him. Lis tening attentively, ho was horrified to bear from the rocks below the feeble cry of— 'My God ! will no one help me ?' He shouted hack: Who is there, and what is the matter? The despairing wail came back: 'lt is I, Dr. Romans. My horse took fright and precipitated mo over the narrows. lam entirely helpless, and the creek is almost up to me. If help does not come speedily I will be washed away. For God's sake, be quick.' The young man recognized the voice and his brow grew ominously dark. For a momcut a hcrriblo tempta tion assailed him. He bad only to ride on and he would be free from his bitter enemy forever. The secret would be his own, and no one would think of attaching the blame to him ; but it was only fcr an instant that the dark thought haunted him. In spite of the increasing storm and the ex trcmety dangerous descent, he was soon making his way, laboriously, dowu the steep, treacherous cliff. Reaching his fallen foe, he observed the spasm of pain that passed over the old man's face, when he knew that he was in the power of an ene my. 'You have come to gloat over my fall, have you ?' he groaned in despair. 'I have come to render aid to a fel low-being in distress,' Dr. Parker an swered in a subdued voice. 'I would rather perish than bo saved by an ene my,' Dr. Romans answered savage ly- Nevertheless he obeyed the firm, rapid commands of Parker, who iound NO. 20- NIWBrAPRH LAWS wudfhlmuntn rue jk, a If uimrli*w rf£•" or u■;i*M nWrtMpT* from # oWrf to*t; i t' > > n '' ... they lire ImM iimmuittrte <■*" UWf wl * ! thM hills fthil •w>nUi.u^ If raWlNrs move toother places Hht in formluw Ihe publisher, ami the newsp*• re scut to ihi-fnijiieri'li'P'', iln-> a i .j_s^ouatbtc • " ADVBwnutKo BAtaia.

At first the pain was so great aa to causo tbe strong man to cry out in agony; but Parker fearing that tbe flood would overtake them, hurried him along ai fast as practicable. At last, after a tremendous effort, in which ho half carried, half dragged the almost help less man, Parker succeeded in reach ing tho public high-way and placing the wounded man upon his own gen tle horse. Then, seizing tbe bridle, ho pro ceeded cautiously along the slippery 'narrows' and across thebottom, until they struck tbe smooth, safe road that led to tbe village. Arriving at tbe Romans residence Parker succeeded in arousing the household and gaining assistance to carry his charge out of the storm. In tbe midst of their alarm and conster nation, tbe young physician briefly ex plained how tbo accident happened. Speaking of tbe injuries, he suggested the propriety of socuring medical aid at once. 'l'll have no surgeon but yourself, gasped the old man/tbat is if you will consent to take cbaxge of such an old bear as you bare seen demonstrated in your bumble servant.' Dr. Parker assured him that if it were bis desire to put himself in bis hands be would do all in bis power to restore him to health. 'lt is my earnest 'desire, my noble friend, although I did tell you to-night that I'd rather died than be saved by you. If you bad taken me at my word, I would be boating dowa the Ohio by this time. 1 owe my life to you, and after your heroism to-night I would rather owe it to you than to any man living. Mutual confessions followed, and aa it is always easier to forgive these who injure us than those we injure. Dr. Parker experience dno diflioultv inbnry ing the past and giviug the o'd man bis hand in token of reconciliation. All the long period of deadly warfare was bridged by that one night's noble work. Dr. Parker had fulfilled his vow. He had saved his adversary from a horri ble death, and owned that his revenge was sweet. Cicely and the young doctor spent many pleasant hours in each other's so ciety during the invalid and as the Fourth of July, 18S7, is to be celebrated by their marriage, the people of Oakland have settled the question as to why beautiful Cicely llomans remained so long unwed, and Dr. Parker should have chosen the lot of au old bachelor when he could have had picking choice among the fair maidens of all the country-side. A Help to Doctors and Druggists. "Do you know that if druggists and doc tors were compelled to transact their busi ness in the English language, instead of the Latin, it would cut down the profits of the former very materially ?" asked a man of a Call reporter. "I>o you think people wonld pay fifty cents for an ounce of 'aqua para'* if they knew it meaut 'pure water ?' Why, there are only about ten things In a drug store that are of any good, notwith standing the innumerable bottles and care fully labeled drawers." "What are they ?" ventured the reporter. "Well, magnesia, quinine, nitre, blue mass, tooth brushes, shoe blacking, cigars, tobacco and spit toons." And the eccentric critic walked off with a merry twinkle in his dexter optic.— Philadelphia Call. Too Full for Utterance. A clerk in a banking-bouse celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his connection with tlic firm. Schmul,the principal,hands him in the morning a closed envelope, in scribed : "In memory of this eventftil day." The clerk gratefully receives the en velope without opening, but on a gracious hint from the head of the firm, he breaks the cover and finds—the photo of his mas ter. "Well, what do think of it!" inquired Schmul, with a grin. "It's just like you," was the reply. A LITTLE boy was reading in the Bible about a woman who married seven broth ers. "Oh, mamma !" he exclaimed, "did she marry them all at once ?" "No, darling," replied his mother ; "she married one, and when he died she married another. What would you think, Bobby, if I should marry seven brothers ?" "It's hard to tell, mamma. It might be because yon owed 'em a grudge, and then it might be be cause you were fond of attend ing funerals ; but I guess it's just because you have a hankering that way." "I UNDERSTAND, silt," he began, as be walked into a Graud River avenue grocery, "that you say I don't pay my debts. I owe you fl. Take it out of that $5." "\os—ha—take it out—there's your change. No, sir, I never said" anything of the kind. What I did say was that I wish ed you owed me a hundred dollars, as I was sure of getting my money." "Oh, that was it ? Well, why in blazes didn't you say so before I paid the ac count ?" MUTUAL LACK OP CONFIDENCE.—"I will have to owe you a dime," said Schuler Jewett to the tobacconist, as he bit off the end of a cigar. "But 1 haven't got confidence in you to that extent. You will have to leave that diamond pin here as collateral." "That diamond pin is worth a dollar and a half, and I haven't got confidence in yon to that extent,"repliedSchuler,as he strolled oui into Austin aveuue, puffing his cheap cigar.
