If there had ever been a timo since their quarrel when she had felt disposed to make it up, it was when tho ox team had disappeared Irom sight, nnd it was impossible to follow. Tho fact of the caso was that lien had been looking upon T.ouUa as his own property ever since ho could remember. He had beaued her to and from singing school j he had helped her out with her hard problems at district school, and had carried her home on a sled j at quilling, sewing circle, or pic nic, he had chosen her for his partner in the dunce, had paid his forfeits to her, nnd had revolved about her daily. And she hai seemed to relish tho wholo thing till she went away to the city ono winter to work in a milliner's shop, and mi came home quid out of conceit with country living and country men, and had rather given lien th cold shoulder, refusing his gifts and at tentious, and showing pretty plainly that sin looked higher, lint Hen, with the instincts of a free-born American, felt himself as good as anybody, and charged her ono day with having come by hlfalutin ideas of herself and life in tho city, which didn't tho least become her, and averred that she couldn'i do better than to marry him. "Well, Mr. Benjamin Thurmau. I hope you re conceited enough, sue answered him. "Marry you .'I won't say but you re well enough yourself ; but to live in th! slow, backwoods fashiou forever would be the death of mo ; and not so much as a lec- turo or concert to whilo away the time ; to be wearing homespun all my days, and wor rying about tho crops. Oh, dear, no, thank you j I've had enough of hard times. I be lieve I'll wait awhile before I settl down." 'Perhaps there's somebody else?1' ventured lien. "No, I can't say that there is ; though don't mind telling you that I didn't come home single for a want of a chance. II had a house too, In tho suburbs.nnd n house keeper, and ho said I never should bring the water to wash my hands." "And why didn't you marry him?" asked Hen rigidly. "Oh, ho didn't exactly eult mo; he'd lost his front teeth and his hearing. Therc'i good fish in the seajia ever was caught," she sang gaily, FRIDAY, JUNE 8. "Well," said lien, rising and looking bluo lightning, "on tho whole, I am glad that you won't marry mc, for you'vo got no more heart than an adder." And then ho could avo bitten his tonguo out for saying what asn'ttrue,whcn his heart was almost break ing for love of her j and If sho had showed that sho was wounded hy word or look, ho was ready to abaso himself beneath her feet and tako it all back. "You'ro amazing polite, Mr. Thurman, I must say," sho returned. "I am sorry you asked lor what you didn't want, becauso It ould havo been awkward if I hadn't refused, didn't know that this was tho way folks ade love calling names, when I vo always treated you well." Treated mo well with a vengeance 1" cried lien, his faco white as a star, and his eyes like thunderbolts, "Do you call It handiomo treatment to let m'c go on loving on year after year, whilo it strengthened with my strength, without a hint that you couldn't return meastiro for mcasuro ? And then to go back upon a fellow and throw him over becauso ho doesn't llvo liko a nabob, though ho loved tho ground you walked on, and thought nothing too hard to do for you 1 If that i what you call treating me well,good by I don't want ever to seo you again." Louisa had been looking at him with parkling eyes. She rather liked to see him angry ; it was vastly becoming. And then ho loved her so desperately. She felt a traiige, delightful thrill at her heart, as if it responded secretly. Sho had half a mind to go to him aud hold out her arms and bo claned to his beating heart, and forget am bition and luxury and chooie rather a heaven on earth : and while sho had hesitated ho ad said : ''Good-bye I don't want ever to seo you again good-bye." "I return the sentimcnt,"said she, instead, I believo I can live without you. Good bye." And when ho was safely out of sight o took revengo in a good cry. Hut now that ho was gone, she began to nd how much she bad depended upon him nw much more his presence was to her than uny dream of worldly prosperity, however golden. Perhaps but for this breach sho never would Lave known how dear lie was o her, nor how little she valued the super- lluities of life in comparison. Well, one of tlio threo was to return before the winter season of logging began, iu order to lay in provisions for the camp as they had only taken up enough for a week or ten days and perhaps Hen would be tho ono to come n which case he could hardly avoid bring ing her some word of her father and uncle. And then who would predict but ho might think it worth his while to reiterate his love in his eloquent style ? And theu Louisa laughed wickedly at the prospect, and decided that if he was enough in lovo to do thus and thus, it would be safe for her be yond a peradventuro to lake h;r own time about making up, to show a supreme indif ference to his regard. Xo more heait than an adder, indeed ! What was it, then, that iched so day after day, as the dull, cold Xo- vember wind sighed about the houso and touched the neighboring pines into Eoliau harps and swept up tlio dead leaves, only to scatter them again? Why was sho always training her eyes down tho frost whitened country road? And what was it that trem bled in her bosom whenever a speck appear ed against the frostv sky ? Hut LouUa had reckoned without her host, lien was not the man who was fond of reiterating a love that i.id been received so coldly. He didn't mean to leave the woods till March, if he oultl hold out so long. .Moreover, it was Mr. Hruco himself who proposed to go back with the ox team and bring the supplies aud lure tlio men "I don't feel quite right about the head," said lie, "aud I want Louisa to cosset me. Then I'll go out to Shopton aud see Scales and Weight about the supplies, and be back belore you and bi havo eat up all this 'ero victuals." "All right, sir," said Hen, smothering a twingo of disappointment which lie wouldn't own to himself. "We'll get tho hovel ready fur the cattle while you'ie oft", aud take a iramp through tho woods and spot tho best timber for felling." "That's enough to do," said Uncle Si mon, "You'll bo back in five days, say ?" "If I'm lucky. How's tho stores, Si "Good fur a week, I should say such as they are. Hut the boouer you get back the better. It'll be easier for vou if you can mauago to get up before a heavy miow comes. You see, we haveu't had anything but spits yet, though, maybe, we're going to hev an open winter." "Ay, ay," answered Mr, Hruce, as ho drove olf through the woods with tho ox team. "Provisions for a week, eh 1 That'll tldo yo over, I reckon, There's a sight of work to be got through with in a week's time. There's tho supplies to be got, and tho hands to bo hired ; lemmo see five cut ters, two teamsters aud a cook ; that's about it, and to have em ready to start when I do. and I ain't bo young as 1 was. Heyday, it's rub and grind, a lumberman's life, Is I" Alas 1 tbero was more to bo gotten through nith in a week's timo than Mr. liruco had au inkling of; so much that It ran over into the next week, aa work has a trick of doing, hen Louisa saw that It was only her old father trudging along with tho returning ox team, her mercury went down to zero iu half a second. She saw before her a weary three mo iths of louo inesa and longiug.aud she saw, too, that bIio deserved it, "It's a deuced cold day for an old mau,' said Mr, liruco, shivering before the wood lire, as if there should havo been special sets of weather created to suit customers. What's that you'vo got cooking ou tho crane, Lu ? Stew 1 1 ain't got uo moro tip- petite than a bear in August, llriudlo and Trot were slow as cold molasses; they'v seen their best days, I reckon, liko their master, ish I'd swapped 'em to Dunn for tho yearliugs aud boot ; it would hov been good bargain. Si sent his love to you, Lu, I've got a cold. I reckon I'll turn iu and sleep it oil'," "'Ihey oughtn't have let you come," said Lu, indignantly, as she carried hlin a bottle of hot water for his feet. Uncle Si or Hen ought to havo come instead." "Itwa'n't their fault; I thought I could drive a better bargain with the hands. Hen said he'd come in my place, but his heart wa'n't set on it,'1 which insurance in no wiso comforted Louisa. Mr. liruco was restless all night, and in the morning was out of his head, aud didn' know his right hand from his left, aud called Louisa lien, and asked grandma to put th oxen Into tho cart, mistaking her for Uncle vcti tuw iuu ttn, uiistnkiug utirtur Ulicio Simon. And Louisa, half frightened to 1877. death) Jumped upon old Koan's hack and galloped all tho way to Shopton for the near est doctor. "Ahem I Nothing more nor less than a fever," said he, tho Instant he laid his eyes on Mr. Hruce. "Is ho dangerous?" asked Louisa. "Dangerous? Oh, I guess ho'll pull through. I'll leavo this prescription, and bo round to-morrow. There's Mr.. Maverick, of the tavern Maverick's tavern, at our place, had the same symptoms a week ago, and he's about to-day. Thcro's no telling about these things; different constitutions tako diseases differently. At least, you needn't be alarmed at present. Good morning," with an emphasis on tho good. Louisa thought it was anything but a good morning after the comfort of his professional presence was 'withdrawn. Hut tho next day her father was no better, nor yet tho next, though the doctor assured her that ho was doing as well as could be expected, whatever that might be. Louisa was too V-usy, and weary with watching and nursing, cooking and looking after tho houso nnd seeing to grandma's cold and keeping order and quiot among tho children, to take any nolo of the sick man's delirious words, though he was constantly talking about the camp sixty miles away wliero her own thoughts wandered whenever sho had timo to think them bargaining with imaginary teamsters, haggling with Scales and W eight over groceries, and ro- cating "Provisions for a week, for a week," and counting the days on his fingers and sing tho count, and beginning over and over again, as if it were a puzzle upon tbu solution of which his life depended. And so fever ran to tho ninth day aud turned,and the patient fell into a quiet sleep, and awoke too weak and languid to put words together, or to remember anything but that ho had suffered a fearful nightmare and it was over. It was perhaps the third day after tho fever turned that ho suddenly took up the thread f life w here he had dropped it, and asked, How long havo I been a-laying here, Lu ?" "Twelve days." "Where's Hen and Uncle Si?" "Why, you left 'em in tamp, father." "Left 'em in camp! Twelve days ago," 10 gasped, "with a week's provisions ! I houldn't wonder if thoy were both in Heav en by this time! What hev you been thiuk- nig of all this while, eh?'- I didn t know they had only a week's provisions," said Louisia, showing a ghastly face ; "aud I had to look after you and the fever." Well, don't wait another minute round me ; jut harness up old roan and Quickstep, and take soma brandy and thiugs and don't let 'em eat all they want; mako gruel; keep em short. Come start yourself, and don't be standing still liko a ghost and folks a-dy- ing for lack of you." "And you?" "I'll take care of myself, and so'll grand ma. Iloan and Quickstep can do tho dis tance by nightfall. Tako my gun to keep off tho wolves, and little Tim and a lan tern." "Hut how shall I find the way ?" Louisa was already inside her pelisse and mufllers. "Bless you, a baby couldn't miss it; tho trees aro notched with a star every half a mile, on the left hand side. There, take Tim and bo off." And as there was not an able-bodied man short of Shopton at that season who wasn't off logging, and as grandma and Susette could take care of her patient, and Hen was starving without her, what could she do but go? Aud how were they faring iu the camp, sixty miles away in the heart of the wood, which was almost like a primeval forest? After Mr. Hruee's departure they had gone about their work with a will; while Uncle Simon was busy on the hovel of tho cattle, Hen had walked miles and miles through the sweet-scented wood, spotting tho timber and suns had risen and set, when one morn ing before tho week was out, Uncle Simon was surprised to see the bottom of the meal chest. "Tough luck !" said he briefly, "but there's swamp pork to eke it out." And he plunged his hand confidently into the pickle, and had something of a chase after two or threo significant pieces. Tho two men looked at each other In dismay for an instant. But he'll bo back day after to-morrow," said Ben. "Hut what if ho shouldn't?" asked the older mau, cot so sanguine. "What cau keep him ? At any rate wo'vo got legs of our own." "Precious stiff ones mine are I It wouldn't bo a nice excursion, sixty miles afoot. Why, wo should freeze to death !" 'Well, let's wait; uo use running from your shadow." And so they waited. "He'll be sure to come to-morrow." was tho assurance with whicli they comforted each other; and when to-morrow passed without briugiug him, "We'll wait another day ; perhaps the oxen were disabled on tho road." For a storm had set in cold and blus tering; not much snow ; just cuough to mako the world lovely. Tho wind sang among tho pines like tho voice of augry water cour ses, and splintered great boughs in the for est, aud uprooted blasted trees, and seemed like an invisible presence haunting tho re cesses of tho wood some impersonation of lhor, whose touch was a blow ; and all tho while the snow built up its Aladdin palaces, crystal by crystal ; wreathed about tho living green, tapestried every boulder, hid thedead leaves and hollows under tho screen, for it was by no means deep ; tho weather was too bitter C8ld for more than a light fall, just enough to drapo naturo graceful v in its folds, and givo a promiso of more to come. Before tho sky had cleared, the last mouth ful of food had vanished, nnd, except for a partridge that lies had made shift to kill with a club for ther? were no firo arms yet in camp and a rabbit takeu In a rudo trap ot their own constructing, they had not eat en auythmg for two days. Hut they wtre robust men, who would have a tough fight with starvation before succumbing; and then there was no lack of water. In the meanwhilo they wero almost as much concerned for Mr, Bruce as for them selves. Ho might have lost his way, they feared, or been overtaken by tho storm or the wolves ; he might come into camp at any moment too far reduced to help himself, aud need their weak assistance. Since their stomachs wero idle, their brains becamo cor rcspondingly active with fearful Imaglua tious. Kvery day they proposed setting out to walk home but perhaps he would como I tu-iuuiiuiv , uuu lucu lucy iiaicu tu ueacri their post; besides, the weather was sting to-morrow ; and theu they hated to desert THE COLUMBIAN, VOL. XI, NO. 22 UOLUMMA DEMOCRAT, VOL.XHl, NO, 13 ing cold, and reduced hy hunger, they might faint hy tho way, frost-bitten, or, unarmed, encounter Indian devils and wolves I What ever ho might be ablo to enduro himself, Ben felt that Uncle Simon's strength was ut terly inadequate to tho struggle. They wero set with a thousand peradventurcs ; thero was not only a Hon In tho way, but all man ner of perils, real and Imaginary. So they waited, perforce, watching tho days vanish in a tender dream of color, and the stars mako their journey across the deeps of Heaven, and tho morning dawns as the rose blooms. They busied themselves still about tho camp and hovel, giving a thousand last touches, such as they would never have thought of giving at another time, gathering firewood and setting the rabbit trap In vain. And ono day the axo fell from Ben's rcsoluto hand, nnd ho just dragged himself Inside tho camp, and stretched himself beforo tho fire. Undo Simon had already given out. "Walking home could hardly havo been worse," Ben said, simply, Perhaps he was thinking of somebody who might havo met him kindly at tho journey's end, In view of the dangers ho had passed. "Perhaps Bruce'll como yet," returned Uncle Simon. Through a chink in tho camp door Hen watched the sunset fade liko a fire among tho woods, and one by ono the stars shine out each in its appointed solitude, and the northern lights palpitate rosily along the sky. Tho howling of wolves echoed dismal ly, while now and then n branch cracked In the forest, and the wind trebled among the pines. Inside the fire mndo a comfortable glow, under tho influence of which he was soon nodding off to sleep, when through the fog of his semi-consciousness he seemed to hear a sort of ringing in his ears, at first a mere thread of sound, then louder and nearer, as if every tree in tho forest was a church steeplo with all the bells a swing ing. Then he heard no moro until a smoth ered groan from Uncle Simon caused him to raise himself upon Ills elbow. Tho fire was still snapping nnd blazing brightly,'and the form and profile of a woman was shadowed forth upon the wall of tho camp a very fa miliar faco and figure it was too, that ap peared to be bending over something that was cooking on the lire. Was it the excited action of his brain that photographed Lou is a Bruce on the wall? If so he prayed that it might last forever. Then ho turned his head languidly toward the fire and met a pairof eyer that had shone for him all his life with the fascination of awill-o'-the-wisr Wero they still to haunt him across the con fines of this world ? "If you are awake, Ben, you had belter taste this gruel that I havo made for you," said Louisa quietly. "You must be nearly famished." "How came you here?" was all the answer Ben vouchsafed. "You are mighty polite if you aro most starved. Who else could como, and father not ablo to lift his head? I brought Tim; he is putting up tho horsea. It's no such pleasant journey either, I can tell you, be tween the wolves and the frost, not to men tion a cold welcome. Come, ain't you goiu; to take something? Here's broth and bran dy and gruel take your choice." "Nay, you shall choose for me," said Ben "Listen. Unless you tako back tho words you spoke when wo met last, unless you givo me back lovo for lovo, I swear I will not taste a morsel of anything you have to offer. I'll stay here and starve rather than take a crumb of comfort from your hand." "What did I say?" asked Louisa meekly "You said that you could live without me." "Oh, yes, I suppose I could, but I should not want to." "But you refused to marry me." Certainly, because you didn't want to marry a girl with no more heart than an ad der, Ben." "I want to marry you, heart o heart." "Very well ; havo some broth first, won'i you ?" And then Tim came in, and Uncle Simon awoke, and there was an end of starvation in camp. Harper's Weelhj. TouToisr.s as Weather Ikiucators. If there be any truth iu a paper read by a irench savant at a recent meeting nt th Academy of Sciences in Paris, every well reguiateu uousenoiu stiould liavo ono or more tortoises about the premises. Accord ing to M. Bouchard.tortoises take cxtraordi nary precautions against cold weather. Thei nsunci tens inem in Iho milder seasons when the thermometer is likely to fall to Ireezing point ; and toward the end of au tumu, warns them, also, of the approach of winter. In both cases they take precaution to screen themselves from cold, and by care fully observing them, M, Bouchard has for years been enabled to regulate his household. ,U the end of autumn, when the wiuter threatens to be severe, tortoises creep deep Into the earth, so as to completely concen themselves from view. If, on tho contrary tue winter promises to bo mild, they scarce ly go uown an inch or two, just cuough to protect the openings of their shells. Last January, wiiicn was so mud, they even went about.

Un the 1st Inst, the mercury ueing at uu degrees I-ahrenheit In the sun one of the tortoises hid itself; on tho fol lowing morniug there was hoar frost. At the beginning of the reign of the Km peror Nicholas a noblo Ptussian lady gave mrtii to a son for whom a suitable wet nun could not bo found. A young nobleman, a neighbor, however, offered ono of his serfs. Tho young nobleman said, "Madame, you owe mo tho Hfo of your son, aud, I hope, you will, in return grant mo a favor." What tho nsbleman asked is not known, but, whatever it was, it was refused. He threat ened to tako back his serf, aud tho mother appealed to tho highest tribunal of Itussla. Xicbolas died, and Alexander II. began to reign, and tho cjsb dragged slowly along. The bther day, during a brilliant rcviow, a messenger dashed up on horseback to tho handsome young Colonel of the Czar's staff and presented an official looking envelope aying, "Colonel, here is the judgment of tho Senate." "Tho judgment I What judg ment?" Then the Colonel, opening the en velope, read: "The Senate, in Its high wis dom, decides, after ripe deliberation, that tho wet nurse- of Baron X. shall nurse the son of tho noble Baroness T, for tho space of twelve months and six weeks."

A dozen or moro Idlers around the Cen tral market wero yesterday taking a deep Interest In a war map published In a dally paper, when Brother Gardnor, the old col ored man pushed his way Into tho throng and closely studied tho map for a mtnuto or two. "Whar 'bouts ondis map is oleVlrglnny?" ho suddenly called out. "It Isn't on there at all," answered oni of tho crowd. "Whar 'bouts on this map is Klchmond ?" continued Gardner, running his finger over the paper In a wild way. "How do you expect to find Kichmond on this map of Kuropo?" asked a by-stand-er. "How do I 'spect? Why, sah, what has do map of Europe to do wid Richmond? Wasn't dar moro fightln' aroun' Richmond dan you can scare up iu all Kuropo In ten years?

Ono of the exquisite wonders of tho sea is called the the opelet, and is about as largo a3 tho Ger man aster, looking, indeed, very much like ne. Imagine a very larjru double aster, ith a great many long petals of a light groin color, glossy as satin, nnd each one tipped with roe color. These lovely petals o not lie quietly in their places, but wave about in the water, whilo the opelet clings to a rock. How innocent and lovely it looks on its rocky bed I Who would suspect that it would eat anything grosser than dew or sunlight ? But those beautiful waving arms as you call them, have use besides looking retty. They have to provide for a large, open mouth, which is Hidden down deep among them so hidden, that one can scarce ly find it. Well do they perform their duty, for tho instant a foolish little fish touches one of the rosy tips, he is struck with poison as fatal to him as lightning. He immedi- tcly becomes numb, and in a moment stops truggling, and then tho other arm3 wrap themselves around him and he is drawn into tho huge, greedy mouth, and is seen no more. Then tho lovely arms uncloso and wave again in the water. A lady, closely veiled, hired, not long ago, in the suburbs of Duna, a Russian city on the river Dunaberg, a carriage, and dumping a box securely corded into tho chicle, ordered the driver to stop at a shop where, as she said, she had to make some purchases. The driver stopped and waited, but the lady did not return. Then he asked tho shopkeeper to allow him to leave the box. Permission was denied, but on con- ultation, tho box was opened by the two men, when the body ol a dpad lntantwas exposed. Tho driver did not know what to do, fearing that he would be arrested for murder. The shopkeeper advised him to put the box back iu the carriago, drive to the market place, and leavo it unattended while ho ate diuuer, in tho expectation that some one would steal the box. The driver took tho hint, nnd the box disappeared. Xeither lady nor dead body has since been heard of. It is believed that tu'keys were introduced into England from America by William Strickland, lieutenant to Sebastian Cabot, in the time of Henry VII. Franklin always said that thb wild turkey should have been tho emblem of the United States, the log cabin of the pioneer being in his day sur rounded by these bird, who saluted each other from forest boughs, just as the chan ticleer awakens tho Knglish farmers. The first turkey seen in Franco was brought thither by tho Jesuits, and served up at the wedding feast of Charles IX., in 15G1. The Rev. Dr. John Hall, lecturing in Philadelphia, said that the "bluo laws" of Connecticut wero the "impudent forgery of a loyalist clergyman," and 'that il was a calumny against Calvin to attribute to him the saying, "Hell is paved with tho heads of little children." He adds: "Barefaced forgeries have carried with them millions of ecclesiastics throughout centuries. The world has been wonderfully influenced by those absurd and ignorant forgeries upon the pen of St. Ignatius, those spurious epis tles, which, liko the Sib'llino leaves, seem to grow more valuable as they decrease in number."

In that terrible plight he saved himself by drawing his kulfe and (tabbing tho beast to death.
