Ho w.n very fond of ladim' society, they said, or he would not Bpentl nil his evenings at parties or making calls ; yet no otic lady, young or old, single or married, had ever known him to express his regard in any way that was not extremely deco rous and formal. 1'liit ? They would as soon think of a tombstone or a tel. rapli polo attempting to dirt. Most the .Major's male aeiitiamtauec.s carried sc.tr.s on their lieait, as results! either of attacks more honorable than judicious?, or of sudden surprises by fair (skirmishers ; hut no ono could imagine tho Major lo have null .red any such mishap." fur he not only made 110 recoiinoissaiiecs, but he ahvajs re tired precipitately within himseli at tho first Hash of a pair of eyes leveled directly at him. Tlio truth wis that tlio brave .M'tj-u was not only as modest as a model maiden, but ho was painfully bashful besides. Tho ono dtsire of his life was to nniry, which ho was financially able to do, but the important prelimi nary step of proposing was one ho had never dared to take. Until he reached adult years he had met scircclynny women but his two orphaned Msters, to whom lie had tried to bo as a father, and upon whoso rare purity and sweet ness ho had based his ideas of woman hood, lloth married and went far from their old home, so they could not help him to gain a wife by disabusing him of his impression that all women were too good for him. To (Tniton nearly every woman appeared a saint. Ho worshipped onu after another, al though only 0110 at a lime, and his tastes were so correct that lie was obliged to change his divinity about once in thiee months to avoid wor shipping another man's wife. When ever an old scar healed and a delicious throbbing of tho heart told of a new dart that iiad foiimt its way inlrj his heart he vowed solemnly to propose at once and vary tlio dreadful monotony of having another man step in before him. And each time he delayed just for a day or a week, or because ho feared too much or hoped too wildly nnd every time ho waited a little too I'Jiiut every timo but one. For when the Major met Alice Wal lerson hu felt that to lose her, too, would be more than his lifu could en dure. She was 'pretty, as all women seemed to thu Major. She was good and she was sweet, tho Major was sure, else way were all otlirr women unusu ally fond of her? liest of all, sho seemed tho moat, modest and baihful maiden in his whole circle of acquain tauces, and through these qualities would bo able to oiler him sympathy with feelings that all other people re garded witli provoking smiles. Hut how should ho propose 7 Ilein a woman, her bashful nature must hu tar more sensitive man ins own, so oven if ho wero to nerve himself to the ideal, how could ho be enough of a brute to inflict greater trepidatioi upon her, if ho loved her ? Even -weie she favorably disposed toward him, hu was sure that listening to a proposal would put ncr heart in a terrible lu mull ; how much more dreadful would it be, then, for her to listen to liiiu should she not bu favora' ly disposed, lie knew that she .ihwiytt looked at him i)leaantlv ; he felt that slm had even been grateful to him one evening, when both at a pitty, and both through timidity ji'ttin il to the fimo half-hidden coiner of the drawing room, each innocent of the approach of tho other, and each over anxious on Hireling to show that tho affair was a mere- accident, This wan the only basis of Clinton's hope, and yet ho had been disappointed so many times he could not bear to think' of failure now. He made several calls with the in tention of proposing, but every time hiscouragu failed him ; besides, Mrs. Wallerson or Alice's sister Xell were always jln tho pailor. Of course he could not say before two what he di ended to say even with a single nearer, worse sun, iMis .Nell, who was a brilliant brunette of tho irro lircssible species, could not avoid leas nig him slyly at overy possiblo oppor tunity, ami lie always lost Ins tongue under her onslaughts. then he tned to propose in writttij' and for a week of evenings ho wrote a with no iniirt nature, that Mr. Clinton was entirely different from what sho had imagined him to be. Hut tlio Major did not know this, nnd alter the business ot tlio evening ended he began to feel tlie old familiar oolil sweat that had been his torment in thu swamps of tho Clucahoininy fifteen years before. ConvciBation had dropped to tho dead level of tho national academy, the last now novel, nnd Hrown's last volume of poems, all of which wero very bad. Miss Xell looked interested, pretty and sentimental until the Major half wish- ed she would ho her natural self, for le had at last roused himself to the combative state, anil ho wanted to talk with her in the most serious man ner about her sister. At last ho made a desperate effort and said : "Miss Wallerson I called this even- inir onlv on business, but I have for a long timo wauled to say something to you aooui a miiiiei "hxcusc. me lor just an liisiam, Major, interrupted Miss Xell, "tho gas is liisiug dreadfully. Won't you bo good enough to see which burlier it is ; I'm just "too short to reach any of them, I'm sorry lo say." The Ma or hastened to the rescue. He heard a hisMng noise, as ot tlio M. , I... ..1.1.... escape Ot too llllicn gas ; uu mum nut, 1)0 Hiiro WHICH 01 IOC Six uurneis wits nt fault, so he turned down one niter another until tho noise stopped nnd tho pailor was almost dark. "Yon aro very kind, murmured Miss Xell as the Major resumed Ins seat near her ; "the blowing ot gas is dreadfully annoying to the oa by the way, you were saying tnai Tlio Major resisted a temptation to say, "till, Homing oi any uuhsuiihuhui , and said : "T Imvn lour? been tho most reverent adorer of a certain young lady who "Oh, Major 1" exclaimed Miss Nell, the idea of you being in love. iJid von 'acuso me, Miss Wallerson, said tlie Major hastily, "but no onu is com potent to pass an opinion on my con dition of mind but myself. I fully know my own feelings, and merely wUh an opportunity to explain them in such a manner as may bo most re nt.p.i fill." " Imrr Mini- 11.11 no 1. .uu mi, .Miss Xell, entirely on her guard 'lli!n iionlinne. and behove no one hoie can doubt your sineuiily." Th .Mnim-'ri heart cave a mighty bound : evidently this mischievous girl suspected something and was willing to suppress lierseii. worshipping Wagons ol To-Day. Tilt: lillACON S WONIIKltHJI. ONK 8IIAV OUTKONK. iiorsi: "Oreat Ciuiar, but that's n stunning wngon 1'' exclaimed a News reporter to an acquaintance, as a vehicle nrrayeil in nil tlio splendor of now varnish nnd black enamel went spinning by. "Yes," coolly replied tho man nhout town, "that's aline turnout. Do you know, every timo I seo a fine wagon I think of two things, ono of them is the trouble that the good old Deacon had in building Ins wondertulone liorse shay, mid tho other is how much time and worrimcntho might have saved had there been suoli an establishment m ins town as that kept by Israel Uittenbon- bender ot V ranklin avenue, 1 always imagine I can see tho old Deacon in A broivn study when ho " snore, til deacons do. With nu 1 du vuui,' und an 'I lell yeoti, I'll make one hhay that'll beat the town, 'n thd keounty 'n, nil the lentry remind, l'er tu me,'sald tho deacon, 'It's inluhty plain That tho weakest bpot must Man' the strain. An' the way lo IK It, as I maintain, lsonlyji'it Tu make that nlaco as strong as the rest. I can see the good old fellow now as he went hilling all through tho whellwright shops of that region look ing after suitable material to build his wonderful shay out of. Everything had to be made by hand, and without a doubt the good old deacon sometimes felt discouraged at the job before him, and wanted to say things thnt deacons are supposed to say. How different would all this have been had such nu establishment as llittenbendcr's been in existence. This conversation led to the repor ter's making an early visit to tho Hit tenbunder establishment, and as he foundseveral matters of considerable interest, lie decided to write them up for the benefit of the numerous readers of the Arews, In tho interest of those who liku plain unvarnished facts, it may as well be stated that wagon building is not like boot and shoe making. Every year new devices are conjured up to make boots aud shoes wear for a less time than, they used to last "in tlio good old times," while wagons aro built stronger and stronger every year. Till: IIKIIINNINd. To begin at .the beginning wo will Btate that tho extensive wholesale es tablishment of Israel Uittenbcnder for the sale of wagon aud coach materials, at bcranton was started in ISO". The stiff, tho wheels become "dished," and soon gives out. The second floor is used for heavy hardwnre, such ns nxles, bar-steel, iron, etc. Over a thousand sets of nxlo goods nre constantly stored here, re presenting over eleven thousand dol lars. Tho first floor is used for hubs. Only tho very best grades of hubs nro hand led by Mr. Uittcnbendcr. This has bo cotne(a necessity, as out of ordinary stock the loss is an nverago of ono set out of fivo of the gcnornl make. Tho best hub in uso is that mado by John Urm ston, of Ifahway, Now Jersey, who has a patent process of drying them so that they will not check, fiack of this building is kept a large stock of iron. The main ware-room fronts on Franklin avenue. It is tilled with car riage hardware, carriago lamps, steps, bolts, brake catches, wliip sockets, car nage paints and varnishes, oil cloth, carpeting , upholstering goods, cush ions, and the many odds and ends that go towards making up a miscellaneous stock, from which tho average wagon maker can select whathu desires with out delay. On this lloor is situated the office, which is unpretentious, yet just such a place as one might expect to find in an establishment that feels tho thrill of business every minute of the day. Under tho main ware-room is a large cellar which is used for the stor age of pipe boxes, hair, moss, leather nnd dry paints. Speaking of pipo boxes reminds us thata grcatmmy steel pipe boxes aro now used. They cannot be broken, while the old iron boxes broke nt tho arm at least strain. Wo wero shown a patent step, rubber-covered, which renders the slipping of the foot almost an impossibility. They aro mainly used on cairiages of a higher grade. vcry piece that enters into the makeup of a carriago can be furnished without any trouble whatever. Really, the establishment of Israel Hittenbender is one of the largest in the State. It is the only one of the kuid in Scranton, or in northeast ern I'ennsylvania.

Thousands ot sets are now kept con stantly in stock, from which tho small dealers all over the country are suppli ed. In the matter of steel tire alone, tho lirst order made by this firm was twenty-five sets. It now orders car load lots, representing an immense cap ital. The comparison between tho room in which the business lirst started, and the present rooms in use, is startling. In 1807 a room twenty by thirty feet accommodated the trade. Now the amount of room used constantly would more than cover a half-acre lot. The jYciM reporter found both Mr. Hittenbender and Mr. ,T. Koin'.nerer "at home.''

It teaches that when a period of retlection inter venes, the clear heads of patriotic men can penetrate tho fog ot preiudice and sift the grain of merit from the chaff of injustice. It implies also that the veterans who offeaed their lives on the alter of their country are now ready to resent that mendicancy that trades upon patriotism and employs tho vie tories of the war to draw contributions from a grateful people.

During tho days ot tho old Parlhv mont in College Green, Dublin, violont altercations leading to duels wero ot constant occurrence. Crowds of ush ionable ladies, as at tho Spanish bull fights, thronged tho gallorioa to p plaud and encourago them. Grattan was a capital shot, and gave up many hours to practice, as GrConncll admit ted that ho did himself in early lifo. Paragraphs and pistols woro GratUn daily employment near Lucau, whero ho first lived. Caesar's character of Urutus, "Quid quid vull, vaMe vult, which an cmineut Western scholar translated, "What ho wants, he wants liko," applied to Grattan in every thingin hitting mark or sharpening a sarcasm, in satirizing tho treasury bench or shooting down a minister. Curran, whoso humor was perfect, aud never deserted him, even on such occasions, was onco challenged by a barrister named Uurrowes, supposed to bo an incurablo invalid. When they met Curran's second came to him and said : "The second of your antagonist requests, as his principal is in a very feeblo condition, that he may bo al lowed to lean against tho milestono whero he is standing during tho ex change of shots." '-Certainly," said Curran with a twinkle of the eye, "pro-1 vided I ant allowed to lean against the next mile stone."

It was a favorite boast of the infa mous Lord Norbury that ho began lifo with a XoO noto and a brace ot hair- trigger pistols. The last wero the on ly stock ho brought to the bench. When there he once checked a learned brother by tlio significant hint that in becoming a judge ho had not ceased to be a gentleman. Lord Xsorbury made good use of his pistols, or "barkers," as they were called in Ireland. Ho -was repeatedly "out," ouo of his duels being with "Fighting Fitzgerald," whose concealed armor Martin of Ual way had tried by coolly walking up and firing two balls at him, saying: "if either of those enter you, I am a mur derer,1' and who afterward was hanged for a murder not according to the code. Of course tho ordinary ruck of small gentry followed their leaders, and many pleasant stories aro told round Irish firesides of tho professional duelists of those day.-'. One ot the most famous was Pat Power, of Daragle. Ho was, we are told, liko Beime, a fat, robust man, and was distinguished for his in temperance and his glowing face. Among many of his affairs of honor was one with another fire-eater of his time, Bill Brisco. When taking aim he had still a warm friendship and a natural tenderness for such a gentle man of honor, and would show it. So he only shot off Brisco's whisker and part of his ear. When travelling in Kngland Power had many encounters with persons who wero attracted by his brogue and his clumsy appearance. On one occasion he ordered supper in a coffeo room, and while waiting for it, ho read the newspaper. After some time tho waiter laid two covered dishes on the table, and when Power examin ed their contents ho found they wero two dishes of smoking potatoes. Ho asked the waiter to whom he was in- treatment accorded by theso represen- debted for such fare.
