pression from your ta:Pelialliciiido
and very particular friend, whom
you brought: into this house last
week with deliberate designs upon
I my personal liberty. Scarcely, I
say. A misanthrope is one who
hates mankind in the aggrevate. I
do nothing of the kind, probably be
cause it would require un exertion to
do so, and that would tire me. No,
my dear, I am only indigerent, not
even hating the women with whom
you persisted bore me, and whose
names I aS persistently foget,, be
cause they are of no sort of conse
quence to Inc."
"Well, you're a shabby, forgetful,
lazy, provoking thing, you know

"Now, my dear Kate, without
troubling myself to point out to you
again the bad habit you have of run
ning the two words, 'you are' into
one unauthorized conglomerate, I
must say that your last utterance
strikes me as somewhat inconsistent
with your eulogy upon my virtues',
pronounced the other day for your
visitor's edification. If 1 remember
your words correctly—l caught them
from my recumbent position on the
library lounge--Ahey were to the ef
fect that lam 'tile dearest and best
brother in the world, and only need
a wife, or something of that sort, to
render me perfect.' If I state your
position incorrectly, I beg that you
will set me ; right. The slightness of
the interest'! felt in the subject of
your conversation made me less at
tentive, perhaps, than I might have
been."
"That's a story, Harry.
know there's not a subject—"
"Pardon me, my dear Kate, and
allow me again to plead for the verb
'to be.' Twice in the brief remark
which I am interrupting, you have
decapitated that useful verb's third
person singular, present indicative
form, merging it summarily Into
words of far less dignity. Pray pro
ceed now with your remark."
"Well, then, sir—
" Which is not elegant English,
Kate."
"I won't talk with you, you hor
rid thing."
"Won't is an extremely rude cor
ruption of 'would ;not,' virhile, I be
lieve, you mean to say, you 'wild not'
talk with me, do you not my dear?
But really, Kate, it is high time that
you should abaridorj this effort to
entrap me into a marriage. While
I was at college, you made my va
cations dreary wastes of time with
your endless excursions and parties,,
and other clumsy contrivance to
bring me into contact with women,
who, you hoped, would turn my
head, despite the fact to have done
so would have been to unfit me for a
further prosecution of my studies.
While we were in Europe, you
would actually bring up one of your
insipid young lady friends to inter
rupt my linguistic studies, and after
wards take me to task for the offence
of preferring to tape in patois with_
a peasant woman old enough to be
my grandmother, rather than to
pick the handkerchief purposely
dropped by that Lydia Languish of
an English girl. for whom, as for her
country, art had done so much more
than nature. Now that I am for
bidden by my doctor to continue my
newspaper work, and peremptorily
ordered to seek rest and country air,
you have determined to drag me
boldly to the wilds of the west, id
the vain hope that I will marry one
of our semi barbarous cousins there.
I have promised to go with you, but
fxarriust know that I do so simply
de I am 'the dearest and best
brother in the world.' There is con
solation, however, in the reflection
that our relatives, the Laurys, will
never know when I am laughing at
them; I can amuse myself with their
innocence without offending them."
"Now, then, Harry I'm mad. I
don't believe our western cousins are
as rude and uncultivated as you
think them, and I know - they are
warm hearted excellent people. It
was very kind of them to invite us,
I'm sure, and if you dare- to make
fun of any of them, I'll just tell them
how you trifled with the Lady Ann

EXTRACTS FROM HARRY'S JOURNAL.
Jane 25th.—What a queer old place
this is, to be sun!!! We arrived here
three days ago and drove up to the
front gate, the walk from which
carried us to the kitchen door, by
some odd arrangement on the prem
ises. By the way, this kitchen is a
wonder in its way, and my relatives
seem to make, it their sitting-room
half the time. Then they always
dine there, and, from the appearance
of a great loom in one corner, with
an apple-peeler hid away under it,
and a spinning-wheel suspended from
the beams above, I should imagine
that during the winter the apartment
does duty as a family workshop also.
It is a very pleasant house, I begin
to think, and these second cousins of
mine are rather agreeable girls, if
they do milk cows. spin, cook, and
even feed homes and "scatter hay"
by way of a frolic sometimes.
There is something fresh and genu
ine about them, which I rather like
as a contrast to Kate's schoolmates.
The girls are very sensible, too, and
talk as though they were reasonably
well educated, very much to my sur
prise.
In fact, Mabel, with her sort
brown eyes, would be a beauty. wel
comed as such in any city parlor,
were it not for her robust health,

Kate's schoolmates convince me Is

me three days ago that I was lazy
and of no account. She really seems
to have no sort of deference for m y
dignity. Now her observation as to
my worthlessness nettled me (I nev
er dreamed a woman could do that),
and when she challenged me to
"bind" wheat with her,l took up
the gaunlet, like a blo ckhead, and
have been laid up since, sore from
head to foot, beside being beaten;
for she can tie up two sheaves to m y
one. Speaking of gaunlets, what a
very pretty hand that. girl has! I
noticed it when she was rubbing my
stiff neck and arms with some de
coction of herbs which she said was
good to take the soreness out.
Really I cannot make the girl out.
She works at anything that comes
to hand, and is a genuine country
girl. but still she reads Tennyson and
even Browning. Sometimes she
seems very respectful tome, while
at others she will make len to me
and laugh in my fare with Ite most
saucy air I ever saw. I walked out
to see her milk the cows this 'Morn
ing, at the very unchristian hour of
six o'clock, and some how fell to
talking rather egotistically. I am
afraid. 1 said something about wish
ing always to seize the joys of the mo
ment without regard to the future,
a sunset, if nothing better could be
had, a moonlight stroll, a good din

etc., when
she coolly asked me, "Why don't
you quote the passage correctly, and

belongs to him ? He says it much
better than you do:

I called her Mary Jane on the
spot, and she said I was angry.

EXTRACTS FROM KATE'S LETTER
TO HER MOTHER.
I Don't know what to make of
Harry. He ridicules the girls dread
fully to me, when we are alone,
though he behaves himself pretty
well, for him, when they are by.
He says Minerva, who has auburn
hair, will set us all on fire some day,
and the way he talks about pretty
Mary Jane is a shame. He romps
with her all over the place, hoWever,
and she gives him as good as he
sends whenever they quarrel, which
they do, dreadfully. Poor fellow, I
despair of ever Making him get mar
ried like a sensible man, and have
made up my mind to see him grow
into an old bachelor brother. But
his rompings and frollics with that
girl are making him as strong as a
giant, mother. They do the oddest
thing you ever heard of. I looked
out of the window just now and saw
Harry riding behind Mary Jane (or
Mabel as she calls her) on a bare
backed horse out in the lot. Yester
day Mabel made Harry carry water
for her while she was washing the
clothes, and when I went down to
the grove where they were I found
my dignified brother with his sleeves
rolled up, actually pounding clothes
in a barrel of water with a great
maul, which is a way they have here
of saving labor in washing. I never
saw Harry carry on so, and I shall
be afraid to go anywhere with him
when we return to New York,, for he
will be sure to say to every "stuck
up woman he meets that he has
washed clothes. You know how ho
likes to shock people.

ALOFT.
Harry was piqued, if nothing
more. He could not make Mabel•
out, as ho expressed it. Whenever
Mr. Higgins mme, which was not
often, she would put herself on her
best behavior; but with all her def
erence, she never seemed to talk with
that gentleman.to any - great extent,
and he never sought to draw her
into covers:3ll°n. In fact Harry
thought the man stood in awe other
superior learning, and preferred to
talk with her father, the old captain.
Harry was piimled. and moreover
'he was troubled, a fact which, with
all his nonchalance of manner, he
was wholly unable to conceal from
Kate's sharp eyes
Walking out with Mary Jane one
afternoon they went into the orchard
when she, turning suddenly on him
asked if he could climb.
"Certainly. Can yonl"
"You know lean. I am a country
girl. -Get up-into that tree and I
will follow you. There's a cool shady
seat on that big limb, and we can
have a nice - quiet chat before you go,
for Kate tells me that you are going
bacit to New York next week." .
• "Yes," he said, seating himself
and assisting her to a perch beside
aim. "my work wants me, arid I be
gin to want my work. I have done
literally nothing since I came West."
"Except to romp with your tom
boy of a cousin. That you have done
thoroughly, as I con testify. How I
do wish I could go with you and see
the great city! Would you believe
it? I never saw a larger town than
Greensburg."
"Why can't you go, Mabel? I'm
sure nothing would delight Kate and
mother so much."
"And how about yourself, Mr.
Harry? You would scarcely enjoy
the introduction of your half-civil

I should do it, you may be sure, only
for my engagement with Mr. Hig
gins."
Harry was not accustomed to
swear, but the mental ejaculation
with which he greeted this remark
would have shocked Mabel, had It
been spoken. Aloud he said:
"You are engaged to him, then?
Kate told me so, but I hardly found
It possibleto believe it."
"And why not, pray?"
"Well. I can hardly say. Ile is a
very worthy man, no doubt, but cer
tainly he is hardly your equal; and
while I hope you may be happy as
his wife, I—"
"What nonsense you talk! I am
not going to marry the man, am I,
merely because I am engaged to
teach his children this winter? You
must know his wife has no notion of
going into a decline yet awhile."
"Then that was a trick of that ras
cally Kate's," said Harry. "Another
of her liberties with the English lan
guage."
What more the red bird heard it
behooves me not to tell; but Mr.
Higgins had to engage another
teacher for , his children that winter,
and Harry Moreland still calls his
wife Mable."
A PENNSYLVANIA TRAGEDY
Stranger Horribly Murdered
In Chester County
PHILADELPHIA, July 1-I.—A
special dispatch from West Chester
says a horrible murder, almost equal
ing the West Farms tragedy in Do
ver, De.l, has just been discovered
in Chester county. Jennerville is in
Penn Township, Chester county,
one mite north of the line of the
Baltimore Central Railroad, and six
miles north-east of the borough of
Oxford. On the 30th of June last a
strange man arrived at the hotel of
that viniage and'stopped there, say
tn that he had come from Baltimore
`and was au, agent but giving no
name. He 'was in appearance, a
young man, probably not over 30,
with black whiskers. On the follow
ing day a team driven by one Wm.
E. Udderzook stopped at the tavern,
and the "agent" was invited by
Udderzook to take a ride. He ac
cepted the invitation, and they went
away together. The team had been
hired by Udderzook at Parkesburg,
and ho returned it in the evening,
when the person w-ho took charge of
it remarked that there was blood on
the wagon. Udderzook made a
plausible explanation of the circum
stance, and immediately left the
neighborhood. The strange man
was never afterward seen alive.
On Friday last it was noticed by a
man that a large number of buzzards
were hovering about a wood a short
distance off the Newport and Gray's
pike, between the villiages of Coch
ranville and Penningtonville. The
man at length went to the place to
see what they were doing, and found
unearthed the head and body of a
man, as well as his arms and legs,
which were separate from the body.
He gave notice to the neighborhood,
and the horribly mutilated body was
finally recognized as that of the
stranger who had been staying at
Jennerville. A jury was impaneled
by the Deputy Coroner, but the ver
dict is settled and has not yet been
handed over to the Coroner of the
County. The ere
murdd man was
stabbed in three or four places. his
throat cut, and
_Poth arms and both
legs were severed close to the body.
Udderzook cannot be found. He is,
policef un ce lHely , i s o ny otuheg Baltimore
has
red whiskers. The object of the
murder unqUestionably was plunder.
No clothes were found except a pair
of shoes. It 'is reported that the
man was known to have a considera
ble sum of money on his person.
The severed limbs were buried in a
separate spot from the body, and not
far from the house of one Rhodes, a
brother-in-law of the supposed. mur
derer.

TUE ILLS WE HAVE.
lIY ,OLIVE TrrortNn.
4 Detter endure the Ws we have.
, •
T.wn AI to others that we know nut 04"
Said the . poet, and perhaps it was
better'for out grandmothers, hut the
advice is out of date iu our time.
Tatne submission to curable evils is
no longer a .virtue—it is a weakneso.
One of the•most intolerable ills
that the daughters of Eve groan un
der is the dressmaktil*. Yet women
'have endured iteversince the Orieu
tal red blanket - style of dress went
out of fashion. And even now, when
they have so much to say on all oth
er subjects', like sheep before the
shearer they are dumb, and open not
their thouths. (1 don't'suppos:e I'd
dare to speak myself,' only I can
make a dress.)
The moment - if woman enters a
dressmaker's room, she becomes a
slave. No, matter what kind of a
mind or heart she may possess in the
world, she leaves all trifles at the
door, and goes In a meek human be
ing with a roll of goods. -
•- The autocrat of • the , establishment
looks- p i poniier merely as a new sup
pliant or faVors, and her sufferings .
'First' she has• to run the
gauntlet' of two dozen-smore or lesi
seharp female eyes, welt skilled in
judging of the quality of goods, the
value of lace, the price of shaWls,
and the general style of olady's make
up. Now, while the opinion of a
dozen individual critics is beneath
contempt, mass them and they .be
come formidable enough to make one
uncomfortable. The sufferer feels
that she is weighed in the balance
and judged by what she knows of
fashions and styles. Anti-she is
haunted by the Fuspicion that the
moment her back is turned, she will
be discussed, her lack of style, her
wardrobe, and the probable length
of her purse. The room itself is
pandemonium. The bewildered
stranger feels helpless with such a
confusion of silks and satins, velvets
and alpacas lying in indiscriminate
masses on tables and chairs, and she
can't help a growing feeling of e. we
towards the Superior Being who can
marshal these incongruous elements
into well made suits. To disgust a
woman with the vanities of dress,
make her spend a week in a dress
maker's room. (This is merely a
suggestion.) When it is her turn to
come under the hands of the Chief
Inquisitor, she presents her roll with
quaking heart; . and modestly tells
her wishes, while the goods, which
in the More looked rich and pretty,
seem somehow to dwindle—in the
air of the room and the glare of those
penetrating eyes—into a cheap, sec
ond class article. Questions begin:
"How many yards have you
brought?"
in deference to the discrepancy be
tween her ideas and the dressmaker's
she has already brotight two or three
yards more than she knew she would
make the dress of—she mentions the
number. '
"Um—it may do, but I suppose
more can be got if necessary."
"Of course, says the victim.
"Dresses in the present style take
so much goods," the dressmaker
says volubly. "Now I made a
dress for Airs.,So-aud-So, last week,
,apd,

sharp. She feels in her soul that she
falls below zero the moment she ad
mits the dreadful fact. If truth con-•
quers and she confesses, there are- no
remarks, but a significant silence
worse than words.
With an indescribable air of supe
rior wisdom, the Potentate turns her
victim around like a shopman's fig
ure, takes her tneasure, tells her
what she can- wear and what she
can't, and at last condescends to in
form her when she can come to try
on the waist.
On the appointed day she goes
again, and, if very fortunate, she .
may find the dress ready to try on:'
and she is coolly invited to take off
her dress and be fitted in the room
with two dozen eyes above mention
ed. Then she is graciously notified
that her pattern runs two yards short
of what was needed, and her trim
ming had to be matched and a few
yards bought, and there won't be a
scrap of either left.
If the dress don't set well, she is
cheered by the information that her
figure is one sided, and further en
lightened by the statement that
"Mrs. So-and-So is so easy to fit. it's
a pleasure to cut for her,'' etc., etc.,
till she begins to think that this
selfsacrificing dressmaker is conferr
ing a great favor in sewing for her.
Well, the dress is sent home in
the course of time, and the owner,
congratulating herself on "that job
done," proceeds - to put it on. Of
course its.tno tight, and probably too
short; two hooks ay off the lining,
and the-buttons get loose the first
time they are buttoned. If the dress
is black silk or-alpaca, she may be
thankful if there are not two or three
kinds in it; and she may measure
the lace or fringe till doom's day, and
she'll never be able to make it equal
the number of yards in the bill.
Some simple hearted sister may
fancy she'll better herself by having
one of the peripatetic species in the
house. But it's jumping from the
frying pan into the fire, for every
soul of the tribe carries her dressma
king sphere with her. Aud where
as, in going to the shop, she endures
an hour or so at a time, in this case
she endures every moment. Be
sides turning,the Whole family into
errand boys and waiters, her very
presence puts a taboo on books and
papers and music, and all such things,
One can't get away from her influ
ence anywhere under the same roof.
If a friend comes in, she can tell by
the worried expression -of face that
there's a dressmaker throned in some
upper room.
Then the hostess, besides giving
her mind to the comparative merits
of ruflit, and puffs, and worrying
her brain with the anxious querry
whether overskirts are "going out,"
must fuss in the kitchen to provide
a little more stylish meals than usu
al, became she knows and feels that
the sharp eyes of that interesting
creature are on everything, and com
paring them with things in the house
of Mr. —, where she worked last
week. In fact, one might as well
live in a glass house and be on exhi
bition—and done with it.
Now, I say it Is intolerable, and
blessed is the woman who can make
her own dresses. Her time may be
worth half a dozen times as much as
she would pay the dressmaker, and
her dress may not be in the very last
agony of style, tintshe gains the self
respect, and, above all—she has
peace.—Hearth and Home.
—A nice old man, a vegetable
gardner, called at a newspaper office
the other day and inquired very
anxiously if the editor had seen any
thing in the papers recently about a
worm that was doing much damage
to celery. "I intended," said he, "to
have raised a good deal of celery this
year, but burn me, if I think it'll
pay if that durned celery grub that
started at Washington a while since,
about what I've heern so much on,
is coming this way." A light dawn
ed upon the editor's mind—the "Sal
ary Grab."

- Arabian Horses.
No , Arab dreams of tying up a
horse by the neck; a tether replaces
the.halter 2 , and one of the animal's
hind legs is encircled about the pas
tern- by a light iron ring, furnished
tradlock, and connected with
,non chain about two feet In
length,,-ending in a rope, which is
fastener] to the ground, at some dis
tepee by an iron peg; such is the 'cus
toma •
ry method. But should the an
t itar prove refractory or troublesome,
a foreleg - is put under restraint 'by
abutter means.
It 14. welt known that horses - iv Ar
abia are much less frequently vicious
and refractory than in Europe, and
this is - the - reason why geldings' are
here-so mei:though not unknown.
No particular prejudice that A could
discover exists- against the operation
itself, onlyl it is , seldom performed.
because not otherwise necessary, and
tending;,Ofeetirse, to diminish the
value of 'the animal.
But to return to the animals now
before us. ,Never had I seen or, im
agined so lovely a collection. Their
stature was, indeed,, somewhat, low.
do not think that apy of than came
fully up to fifteen ' hands - - -fourteen
appearing tube about their average
—but they were so, exquisitely _
shaped that _want of a greater size "
seemed hardly,: if at alit a defect.
Remarkably full in - the haunches,
with a shoulder of a 810 De so elegant
11.9 to make one, in the wor d of an
Arabian poet, `Ago raving. mad about
it;" a little, a very little, ,saddle
backed, just the curve that indicates
springiness; a head broad above, and,
tapering down to a nose fine enough
to verily the phase "drinking from
a pint pot," did pint pots exist in
Nedjee; a most intelligent and sin
gularly gentle look, a full eye, a.
aharp, thornlike ear, legs, fore and
hind, that seem as if made of ham
mered iron, so clean and yet so well
twisted with sinew; a neat round
hoof, just the requisite, for, hard
ground; a tail set on, or rather
thrown out; at ii perfect arch; coat
smooth, shiningand light, the amnia
long, but not outgrown nor heavy,
and air and step that seemed to_say,
"Look at me; am I pot pretty?" T
their appearance justified all reputa
tion, all value, all poetry. The pre
vailing color was chestnut or gray;
a light bay, an iron color, white, or
black, were less common; full bay,
Ilea-bitten, or piebald, none.
But if asked what are, after all,
the specially distinctive points of a
• Nedjee horse,' I should reply, the
slope of the shoulders, the extreme
cleanness of the shank, and the full
rounded haunch, though every other
part, too, has a perfection, and a7-har
mony unwitnessed, at least by me,
anywhere else. Nedjee horses ale
especially esteemed for great speed
and endurance of fatigue. Indeed in
this latter - quality none come up to
them.
To pass twenty-four hours on the
road without drinking and without
flagging, Is certainly something; but
to keep up the same abstinence and
labor conjoined, under the burning
Arabian sky for forty-eight hours at
a stretch, is, I believe, peculiar to an
imals of this breed.
Besides they have a delicacy, I
cannot say of mouth, for it is com
mon to ride them: without bit or ori
dle, but of feeling and • obedience to

A Poet's Daughter.
On the 13th Ellen Thompson,
a Scottish lady, died at the ripe age
of $4. There was no element of ro
manw or intereset in the good wo
man's life story,
and yet the electric
spark has flashed the intelligence of
her death to every corner of the earth,
to the Greater Britian across the At
lantic, and to the Younger Britain
by the Austral Sea.v The dead lady
had one title to fame, and one only.
She was the daughter of a certain
ploughman of Ayrshire who, at the
close of the last century, beguled a
weary pilgrimage by songs so trans
fugal by the warm tire of genius, so
piercing sweet in their depth of
lyrical melody, that they have won
for the poet an immortality of fame.
She was the daughter of Robert
Burns and Jean Armour—a pair, the
pathetic story of whose love and woe
is as famous as the melancholy ro
mance of Petrarch and Laura. or the
mysterious tragedy of Swift and the
two young and beautiful women
who adored and died for him. The
lady whose long pilgrimage closed on
the 13th was the. offspring of that
passion which her sire has celebrated
in the most equisite Anacreontic in
the English tongue. It was of .her
mother he sung :
Had we never loved so kindly,
had re never loved so blindly,
Never 'met or never. parted,
We neer had been broken hearted
Nigh eighty `yearn have pa...ed
since to Scottish earth Scotland's
greatest poet was consigned. With
each succeeding year the world has
grown more conscious that the peas
ant poet was one of the supremely
great singers of all time, a man whose
life had been touched by the same
Divine Spirit of Poesy which had
breathed on Dante Aigieri and in
spired the genius of Wolfgang
Goethe. His works have been trans
lated into every. civilized tongue—
his songs are equally popular in the
Shepherd's hut and the noble's pal
ace—his countrymen have raised in
his honor a magnificent mausoleum
and celebrated as aihigh festival the
centenary of his birth. And this
man, whose memory the world de
lights to honor, this man whose
fame fills the wide domain of col
ture, in his lifetime ate the bread of
dependence, felt the pangs of want,
was allowed to die at five-and-thirty
the victim of grinding poverty and
of the squalid dissipation in which he
sought to bury the memory of his
woes. Where is the tender heart
that has ,not been touched by the
swan-song of the dying poet?
Death, the poor man's dearest friond
The kindest and the best ;
Welcome the hour my wretched limbs
Are laid with thec at rest;
The great, the wealthy, feel thy blow.
From pomp and plea,-n-r-.. torni.
ant oh a blest re::ef for those •
That weary laden mourn.
In the history of the sufferings of
genius there is no sadder chapter
than that, the recollection of which
is now renewed by the death of the
last of the many children of Burns.
—"Got any medicine?" asked a
boy, entering a Pittsburgh drug
store, the other day.
"Yes, lots and gobs of it; what
kind do you want?" Inquired the
clerk.
"Oh ! it don't matter, so its pretty
lively. Dad's dreadful bad."
"What ails him !" asked•the clerk.
Dunno, but he's run down awful.
He just sits around the stove all day
and mopes and he hasn't wolloped
mother since Christmas. I giless ho
is going to pass in his checks.'
