believed there was policy in war, and
that tho entl justified tho mcans,particu

aspire, In tho iuco of such lonnidablo
competition us that of Mapes and
Timnis. They nlouo each by virtue of
his own personality and position had
t right to lay sk'co to tho heart of that
variable, irritable, imperious beauty,
una for months tho strifoiiotween thorn

such an JnlcroH (hut U way divided
Into two factions, known iw tho Manos-
ites mid tho Timmsites. And yet Miss
Eliza CDiild not )o bronght lo oxprois a
preference. Ifsho rodo with one to day,
sho was careful to walk abroad with the
rival to-morrow.
CoMiictiy is delicious ton woman :nnd
Eli.i would not have boon fonilniiio
had hho been in iioslo to havo miulo an
election. Novcrtheloss. sho did not In-
lend to miss her opportunity. Sho know
well tho war could not always lasl.nnd
fettled that when ono of tho nsplranls
for her favor wlthdicw from the contest,
tho lovo of tho other, wanting the
stimulus of competition, would grow
cold j hence, sho had mado up her mind,
that, upon tho first favorablo opportuni
ty, sho would signify to Mapes that his
suit, so often pressed, was at last accept
ed. Tlio opportunity, it seemed, was
not to ho long wanting ; for invitations
wore given out for an applo-bco in tho
neighborhood, and Ellaa found moans
to convey an Intimation to Mapes that
sho expected to meet him thcro, and
counted on his escort homo at tho con
clusion of tho frolic.
Tho appointed evening looked for
with such nervous anticipation by
Mapes, came at hurt. Iio felt that it was
tho most important of his life, and or
rayed himself as only n rustic dandy

through which ran or rather loitered
a deep, but narrow stream, spanned
by a single log. II was so dark when ho
reached this primitlvo bridgo tlutt ho
was compelled to foci his way slowly
across. As ho progressed it eommonccd
to swing lightly something vary un
usually until ho reached tho conlre,
when, to his utter confusion, it gavo
way, and ho was launched into tho wa
ter. He scrambled out, then suddenly
tho night becamo luminous with that
lurid light to which pcoiilo refer when
thoy say, In speaking of sonio prof.mo
wretch, "Iio sworo until nil was blue."
Whatever illuminating qualities this
hula light possossod, It had no drying
ones,and Mnpcs was forcctl lo bid adieu
for tho night to all hopos of plighting
his troth to tlio loved Eliza.
In thorural districts down East.ln ear

its of industry and rigid economy Hint
thoy soldom gavo, or nttondod partlos,
unless such as wero cloaked undor tho

fraught with momonlous consequoncos
lo Mapes and Tlimns, was but a social

As usual, Eliza Reed wastho hollo of

noxt morning tho ongagomont was an
nounced, and preparations for tho wed

1'iippy Tlmms 1
For a fow days Tlmms was not seen ;
In public porhnps for want ofcourago
to wear his blushing honors oponlyj
perhaps for want of eourngo to meet
other contingencies who knows? But
a man cannot mako arrangomonts for
his own wedding from a flxod stand
point, and ho was compelled to vonturo
out. In n quiet nud sequestered by-way
ho mot Mopes. Tho meeting lo him was
a surprise, ho smiled feobly, and ox
tended his hand. But Mapes, intent on
business, slrodo squarely up to Tlmms
nnd planted n vigorous blow on ono of
his oyoj, which caused that gentleman
to mcasuro his longth lu tho dint.
Timnis sprang lo Ills foot, nnd showed
fight ; but another blow on llio other
oyc sent mm again to grass, whoro ho
continued to lie.
"Get tip," said Mopes.
"You'll knock mo down again, V said
Timma.
" Yes," returned Mapes, "I will."
"Then I won't get up," said Timnis.
" You'ro an infernal scouudrel," said
Mapes.
'I can't help your saying so," nns-
worcd Timms.
"You sawed Iho log," said Mapo-.
"What log?" said Tlmms.
"You sawod tho log,"rcpentod Mopes,
advancing a step.
"Yes stop," said Timnis, "I sawed
tho log.
Well yci needn't think," .said
Mapos,"lliat after your marriage you'rp
going to toll that story, and mako me n
laughingscoek."
"I'll never speak of It," whined
Timms.
"Porhaps you won't," said Mapes,
but I'm going to swear you before I
;ct through. Thoro'o another thing;
you won tho woman by your trickery,
and 1 know it is in you to obuio her ; so
I'm going to swear you to treat her
kindly."
"I'll swoir," said Tlmms.
"Hold up your hand," HiWd Mapc-i

"Now.repent after me: I,8iltn Timms,
lolomnly swear that I will novcr bring

that I sawed the log whereby Daniel
Mn pes fell into tho creok nnd lost n
wife; and, further, that I will, sho con

treat her kindly, ho help mo God."
Timms repeated tho oath, verbatim.
"Now, get up and go home," said
Mnpos, "I don't think you'll bo mar
ried till your eyes got out of mourning,
and by that tlmo I'll bo far enough
away. But don't think I'll loso sight of
you : and if you don't Keep your oatii,
you'll see me."
Timms uroie from tlio ground, shook
oil' tho dust, and walked away ; but
when ho had secured a snfo distance, ho
shouted bock exultingly :
"Mapes, sho is an angel."
In twenty years Daniel Mapes had
learned many things, and among them
this : Llfo is vory much as wo mako it.
In othor words, Iho world is llko n mir
ror, and looks at us wait tlio laco wo
presont. It returns scowl for scowl and
srailo for smllo. It echoes our sobs and
our laughter. To tho cold, It U as Icy as
tho northern seas : to tho loving It Is as
balmy ns tho isles of tho tropics. IIo
had learned a still harder lesson ; which
was to forget tlio griefs, tho sorrows,
tho slights, tho wrongs, and tho hates
of the past. Tlio effect of this lesson wa3
to mako it appear that tho lines.to him,
had fallen In pleasant places. Ills

Thcro Is n widespread passion In

unusually fortunate. The perfection of

thoy eomblno every requisito fo tho

Tho first horso tho visitor inquires for

of tho American trotter. IIo is a brown
horte, with whllo legs, stands fifteen

well placed, his legs and fect firm, and
his back nnd loins powerful. For a

It Is almost unnecessary to alludo to
his brooding. IIo can bo traced to Im

to imported Dlomcd (tho winter of the

IIo was first trained by Hiram Wood'

Lanlorn, tho two making a flno nnd

Lantern comes noxt, nnd it is only tho
curve of tho back that shows his ngo,for
his oyo is as bright and his legs as clean
as oil tho day ho trotted his famous
doublo toam match against Ethan Allen
nnd mato fourteen years ago. Although
twenty-four years old,ho Is utlll fast.nnd
makos an elegant companion for Peer
less, fow being ablo to pass thorn on

California mnro Princess, tho onco fa

was purchased as a brood mnro, to bo

Joo Elliott, Judgo Fullorton and Startlo,
and sho has long been qulto lamo, but
It Is anticipated tbnt sho will soon re

Ionian sprang Happy Medium.
Tho stout black colt in tho adjoining

latest purchase Brod by Dr. Horr, of
Loxlngton, Kentucky. This colt aston
ished everybody by trotting a mllo,last
fall, when two years old, over tho Cin
cinnati course, in 2:11, nnd repeating It
in half an liour afterward In 2.43. IIo
has pinco trotted In 2.3C ; but not bolng
thoroughly acclimated Mr. Bonner
docs not propose hurrying hlui. Ho is a
handsome colt, wonderfully doveioped
for a thrco year old, and will assuredly
mako a fast trotter in tlmo. Tho bay
horso In tho next box ranks highor in
Mr. Bonnor's estooni. This is tho four
year old coltStnitlo,by Edward Everott,
which was purchased from Ocorgo Alloy
last fall for $20,000, Immediately after
winning tho threo year old stakes, dis
tancing his opponent, Lothalr, in tlio
fast tlmo of 2:3GJ. Startlo has massive,
muscular quartors, indicating tho pos
session of immonso power. Perhaps no
colt over mado such rapid progress in
trotting speed as this horse, for whon
Carl Burr purchased him, In Juno last
year, ho could not beat 3:30, and in tho
following September ho won his first
raco In 2:30. Last month Mr. Bonnor
drovo him n mllo on the Fleetwood
park courso, on n slow track, in 2:28,
and had tho day and courso boon favor
ablo, ho could havo reduced tho tlmo
considerably. As Startlo Is only four
years old, ho hits plonty of tlmo for
maturing and improving, and oxppr-
lencod judges bellovo that, when Dox
tcr's tlmo of 2:10 Is surpassed, Startle Is
tho horso destined to do it.
