Wo both voted tor the mountain in
stead of the sea. and for Now Ilamp
shire ; so we started out determined to
Bee all that we could of the Noith
woods.
As wu had both jogged on thus far
through life without meeting any
vonng woman who seemed absolutely
essential to our happiness, wo could
look forward to n comnleto rest, from
tho use of tho pen. Thero would b
no love letters to write every night
when tired and dull ; au occasional
postal card, whereon were sunbuled a
tow words in pencil, would satisfy our
friends nt home.
Neither did we set out with any
idea of meeting our fnte. Wo went to
enjoy the woods ntd each other : we
rather shunned than sought society, es
pecially that of ladies.
Alter a day on hake Ueorce we
took tho eastern route to the woods,
mending a night nt Eli.abelhtown.
Thence wo 'tramped to Keene, the
clear mountain streams, deep, cool
woods, and grand towering peaks,
more than making up for the hard
loads and thick dust, so that, though
tired, we were more than satisued with
our first day's experience,
As wo had resolved to "do" the
mountains, we climbed the cloud-
cleaver, Tahaw.n ; wu spent n shiver
nig night on wiiitotacc ; whence vo
watched .Lake 1 lacid brighten under
the morning suti ; wo picked n four-
leaved clover from John Brown's grave
at iNorth Jilba : Wo started a deer iu
the Indian pass, and saw our guide kill
it : and, to crown all, we came out ot
tho woods by way of the lakes.
Uur guide was a wiry little tellow
too slight to carry a boat, wo thought,
until wo watched him in a wrestling
match, when he showed himself tough
as whip-cord, and wo had no fears.
starting Irom the lower aaranau on
a dull afternoon, a gorgeous sunset lit
up tho clouds and lakes as wo rowed
swiltly along; thou, as tho rich purplo
and crimson laded, the crescent moon
broko through tho clouds, and we had
our first experience of "curies" iu this
uncertain twilight. It was only a
short walk, however, and then we
glided across the black water of
Koumi Lake in an utter silence, save
for tho plash of the oars and the
scream of thu loon or niglithawk.
.Next day wo wound along the ua
quette river, whose waters were low,
aud whoso shores, oven thus early,
glowed with autumn color.
Uur nights were spent at hotels,
which we reached late and left early
our days, in rowing aud "earning
Almost lost under tho inverted boat,
our guide led us through tho rieh veg
etation of tho carries, without wander
mg even when the lire, si ill raging,
had obliterated every trace- of a trail to
our unaccustomed eyes.
Occasionally wo heard the lueongru
ous sound of human voices other than
our own and camu upon a similar
boating-party. Now and then wo
heard the baying ot dogs, nnd Knew
that somo poor deer was iu distress, or
we saw an uncommon bird, nnd listen
ed to its wild note, but for tho most
part, there were lew signs of life of
any kind, and the silence was complete;
tho sense of loneliness, intense.
What wonder, then, that Aland
seemed almost fairy-liko to eyes long
accustomed to such beauty 1

ly, coming nearer, wo had a view of
tho passengers, among whom, with the
September sun gilding her brown hair,
wo first saw .ttaiui.
I say "we," for Tom's subdued
whistle told me that his heart had
been smitten by this nut-brown maid
n8 well as mine. Shu was chattoring
merrily with her brother and lather,
who stood close by. Wo could hoar
their voices, nud distinguish tlio names
Maud nnd Jack, by which tho brother
and sister addressed enoh other, but
nothing more Apparently, however,

us both wish that wo held the oais,
She stood iu the bow of the littlo
steamer with tho venerable woods bo
hind her t but their green branches and
shadowy Biiaiieu wero for 1110 only a
background to itousify tho picture of
her youth and beauty, With the
Bight of her I felt that I had had
enough of loneliness, and a longing
camo over me, Btich as I had sometimes
folt in oollcgt', when tho soft tone of a
woman s voioo reminded mo ot home.
As wo sped among the lily-pnds,
rich "with the same ' nutuuiti colore.
1 which the maples wore, wo hud the
good luck to find several belated blos
soms. The tug was making its way
slowly, for the channel was narrow and
i winding t and as wo were quite near, 1
fnniiicd that Jlnnd looked enviously nt
my tresures. Lifting my hat, I tossed
them at her feet.
Siio did not blush, die did not scorn-
full, east them into llm water, nor nsk
her brother to throw them back to ino t
(the simply nodded her thanks with ev
ident delight, nnd, .vith the utmost
grace, nho fastuiied tho lovely lotus

their rightful owner, and I simply belli
ed them on their rightful wny, while
Tom looked nt the three ho had gath
ered as it iinwillimr to linitatu me, mid
equally unwilling to keen them. "It
was n flhnini! to piok them,'' ho said,
and laid lliem back upon tho water.
The steamer now shut ahead, and
our guide told us that its passengers
would "carry ncross to Jiaglo lake,
where another steamer would icceivc
them, while our cany was n shorter
cnu further up.
I om and 1 both received the news

When at length wo shot out into
Elgin lake, after the last of our carries
I hero was no sign of any steamer ; nnd,
ns we rowed on, the sun set and thu
moon rose, but wo wore still alone.
On Hluo Mountain hko wo heard the
steamer's whistle once more, nnd in tho
distance saw its column of smoke and
sparks as it puffed off to another part
of the shore. We folt like grumbling
at our choice of hotels, but it was now
too late to change ; so, huugry, tired
and disappointed, wo climbed the steep
hillside.
Our appetites did not fail ua, how
ever, (how could tiioy m that air T),
and after supper we walked up and
do ,vn the broad piazza, looking upon
tho moon-lighted lake and mountains
with u tinge of sadness as wo thought
our outing was so ne irly over, and we
mused upon the maiden whoio beamy
had charmed us.
Next morning wn drove a mile in
tho early twilight iu order to take the
stage. We found only one unengaged
outside seat, and Tom itiistcd on my
taking that. Was he really generous
or did he have an intuition 9 I asked
msclf, as suddenly our acquaintances
of yesterday came down the steps and
entered the stage. Maud wore her
lilies and nodded pleasantly as our
eyes met ; but she took a seat directly
opposite lorn.
It si-emed to me a very uniut re-ding
road. 1 saw little out tho black ued
trees and tho burnt wildei'iie"-. I wus
sadly bored by a uiuumc seat-nriie,
but thero was no elianee of relief until
wo reached Cedar river, wh-re tho
tago was exchange 1 for a Concord
couch.
I found that Tom had made great
advances in tho 'ii-quaint'dnco of tho
little paily to which Mum! belonged,
and tvhich I now joined. Wu all
climbed on top ot tho coach, and
though tho sun wa hotter than ever,
and the dead trees quito as ghastly, 1
no longer objected to riding outside.
Maud s father proved a good-natur
ed man. whose hay-imer had driven
him to tlio woods ; and on the shore of
Haouette lake, he, with Maud aud
Jack, had been camping in a bark
shinty, and without a guide.
They told us ot their experiences in
a frank, jolly way, tlut made camping

evi.lcnt.nitv when she found that wo
had been less than three weeks in the

woods, and our camping experiences
nau been only with a guide. But wo
retaliated with u glowing account of
our boat trip, which fascinated her,
and she immediately implored her
father to take her through thu lakes
next summer, ohu had learned to hsh,
row and swim, though Jack laughed at
the idea of her swimming where tho
walor wnsn t over her le-ad. bho got
enthusiastic over her towing, however;
and said she could cook fish .is well aA
cateh them, and make splendid pan
cakes ! and wo doubted none of her ac
complishment,
flow swiftly our six horses sped
over the rough road I Long before
we wished it wo rattled into North

Superstitions About Cats,
Without entering very fully Into the
importance with which the oat was in
vested In olden times by reason ol the
supernatural element supposed to reside
in it, wo may brielly nolo that by tho
Egyptians it was so highly honored ns
"to receive sacrifice and devotions nnd
to have stately temples erected to its
honor." Wo may further allude to
what Herodotus savs of tho sudden im
pulse which seized the Egyptian cats
to leap into the fire nnd tho attempts
of tho Egyptians to .prevent it. It is
related, too, that in whatever house a
cat died, all tho family shaved their
eyebrows. Diodorus Slculus, more
over, records how aKoman, happening
one day to nccidently kill a cat, tho
mob Immediately assembled round thu
house whero ho was, neither the en
treaties of somo of the principal men
sent by the king nor the fear of tho
Komaits, with whom tho Egyptians
were then negotiating n peace, being
able to save the man's life. In the
Middlo Ages the cat was n very itnpor
tnnt personage in religious festivals.
t Alx, Province, for iuotance, on tho
festival of Corpus Christ s the CneH
torn cat in the country, wrapped like it
child in swaddling clothes,' was pub
licly exhibited in a magnificent shrine.
Every kneo was bent, every hand eith
er strewed tloweiH or poured incense
nnd, iu short, thu cat on this occasion
was treated in all respects as tho god
of the day. In Sicily tho cat is still
held sacred to St. Martha ; and it is
said that any onewho kills this animal
will thereby bnhg upon himselt tinhap
piness for seven years. In Germany
the cattle and the mouse uro snored to
the funeral ot St. Gertrude. These
examples, therefore, suflice to show
how universal lias been tho homage
which man in nil times aud countries
has paid tho cat an interesting survi
val of primitive culture, when our sim

ear conception of their own preemi

How to Form a Reasonable Opinion of the
Age of women.
go in a woman is a ticklish subject,
and I have been talking with an ex
pert about it that is to say, a physi
cian of heavy and long practice. I re
minded him that we can judge of a
horse's years by its mouth, and why
couldn't some rules bu laid down, in a
widely geinral way, as data, to go on
in estimating the ago ol a human
being :
"Do horses wear false teeth t1' the
man of medicine answered. "Do they
dye their gray hairs, or putty up thu
wrinkles in their faces! Seriously,
thoro is nobody so expert as to lenrn
tho age of a woman with anywhere
near exactitude by physical observa
tion. Tho uncertainty isn't altogether
due to deceptive practices, either, but
to the widely varying eftect ot timu lu
individuals. As a rule, brunettes look
older than blondes of a corresponding
age. As to plumpness aud tho lack of
it, fat may bo said to increase tho ap
parent ngo of a girl under twenty-five,
nnd to lessen it in a woman over that ;
and the reason is that slenderiiess is
girlish as long as it does not produce
wrinkles, while rotundity keeps tho
skiu taut, and smooth, lsut these uru
mere generalities. In no gathering of
women, strangers to you, could you
guess tlio ages within five years of the
average, and in half tho instances you
would be ten years out of tho way. I
know a woman of thirty with a son of
eighteen, aud when out together they
nre commonly mistaken for brother
and sister. Popular ideas as to tho
ages of actresses are extravngnutly er
roueous. I could namo several whom
I know to bo tremendously outraged
by over-estimates. Health is tho only
preserver of juvenility. Cosmetics,
without exception, are injurious final
ly if uot at once. The skin is deaden
ed by ungumcnts and powders that fill
the pores. Hut, on tho whole, a wo
man can t greatly niter her counte-
anco ns to its showiuc of her age,
hether tho exhibit bo truo or false."

Begging as a Regular Business.
In China begging is a regular busi
ness, beggars being born into tho pro
fession and bringing up their children
to it. In every largo city where there
a vast association of mendicants, to
hich overy ono who begs for ft living
must belong. At tho head is ono styled
tho Ik'ggar King. His authority is
absolute, and to him the
thers aro amenable. The society has
codo of rules, and by this every beg
gar has a right, according to custom,
to stand at the door or a dwelling and
howl, sing, knock, or make any other
noise he pleases, until tho occupant
gives him ono cash. Then ho is oblig
d to desist and can apply at tho samo
place no more that day. No two are
allowed to beg together at tho same
place, vet they are bo numerous that

who causes n written statement to that

can read, all recogni.o the seal of their
chief, and if 0110 transgresses he may
be beaten by tho occupants of the
hotfso, or, being reported to tho King,
bo moro severely punished. Every
beggar lias his seat, beyond which ho
lure not go, and has also ins superior,

Thousands of pages of ndvico hnvo
been printed iu tho English language
nlonc, to teach moil how to judge n
horse in an interview ol half nu hour.
Probably other languages nre equally
rich in similar information. Every
veterinary work contains elaborate nd
vico, illustrated with ooarso wood cuts,
to instruct unaccustomed men to de
cide upon tho animal's ago by tho np
peatanco of tho teeth. T'ho growth
and wear of tho teeth after a horse has
passed his sixth year, is a most falla
cious guide, nud the practiced horse
man and skillful veterinarian will look
rather to the general appearance of tho
horso ni'd his expression, rather than to
tho wear of the teeth.
The shapo of tho lower jaw, tho
hang of the lips, the nppearnnco of tho
eye and the surrounding conformation,
tho elasticity of tho skin of tho jowl
and other indications govern the judg
ment of the expert. In our methods
of hoise keeping, overfeeding, irreg
ular work, unvt'iitilnted stables and the
wreck of the feet nnd injury to thu
legs caused by shoeing, work physical
changes that maku our horses prema
turely old. Most people call a horse
old nt 12 years, but in fact that time in
his life should be his early prime, cor
responding to the ago of 35 years in n
man or woman. A horse that has hud
a hard life shows tho lines of cave nud
age just us they appear iu a man, who
has, in youth, drawn drafts upon the
powers of manhood. A horse that is
vigorous and healthy at 15 or 20 years,
aud that has not had his feet ruined
may fairly bo counted on for 0 or 8
years ot usefulness. But in buying
him, trust him as you would n man,
only from thorough knowledge of his
character. Do not tnko any man's
word about his horse. Tho only safe
way is to try him both in the stable
and at work. Never judge of him iu
harness, always see him moved about
in his natural action by the halter ; if
he has "bar-shoes" on, they havo been
put there to relieve pressure upon
corns ; or it tho bar is across tho mid
dle of tho hoof, he is a victim to the
mcurablo malady of "drop-solo." If
leather is used under the shoo ho has a
foot that is shaken by concussion.
Never buy a horse without trying him
at backing, you may find a weakness
ir trick in that way.
Handsome, healthy-looking, fi n e
horses are sold low at city auctions to
the aniiizement of thu purchaser, who
soon finds that h'4 bargain has kicked
a buggy into km III- g wood or is the
subj -ct of fits ih r ndanger the life of
the driver. Ut' ' t''nugers are found,
too late, to h ive incorrigible stable
tricks that make them disagreeable to
keep. The list of equine vices and
weaknesses, mental ,md physical, is a
long one; in that icspeot horses dis
pute preeminence with their masters.
Therefore the only safe wny is to be
come acquainted with a horio by trial ;
it is worth a larg percentage on the
cost to do so. O- buy a horse of your
neighboihood that yt-u are thoroughly
acquainted with and pay what ho is
worth rather than attempt to pick up a
bargain among horse-dealers. Keep
your horses well, without over feeding;
give them regular work in the usual
hours ; do not, when shoeing, stipu
late to havo shoe- that will last two
months, and you will not fiud yourself
so frequently iu llm horVo market to
