V THE COLtTMBIAJN" AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA I A MATOHMAKER'B MUDDLE- ( Moro limit any othor, tbo enpeoir., gift tibon Mrhioh Mrs. Ferguson prided horSolt wfis her t'nlonl for mtatelimakitig. Her largo, spaolotis liouso was full of cosy corners and tiny nooks, curtained, carpotod and daintily furnished, whoro a teto a-toto waa luxury not to bo dot pisod. Sho was a positive genius for effacing herself and all other wiper fluous people when John and Jano woro to bo brought to understand each othor, and bIio was constantly on tho w atoll for Johns and Janes to bonoGt. It oannot bo denied that Willstown, llko the proverbial republics, often provod ungratofal, tbo wrong Johns being frequently paired with tho Janes of their special abhorrenoo, and it had been moro than onco tohtspored by disappointed wooors that thoy "wished Mrs. Ferguson would mind her own business," But nothing would ovor convince that benevolent old lady that if marriages were started in heaven bIio waa not a special agent upon earth to forward thom. It may, therefore, bo imagncd what a "thorn in tho flesh" it was to this scheming lady to havo under her own roof daily at her tablo a nephew who at tiio'rnataro ago of 28 was, m spite of hor ceaseless endeavors (I had al most written persecution), still a bache lor. ''Poor Charlesl" liis aunt would sigh, "he is so shy, so reserved. lie will never, never havo tho courage to woo his wifo, and it is my positive duty to help him.'' But the more persistently she drove him into coziest hooka and corners with tho prettiost girls in Willstown, tho more ho avoided her parties, be they lunoheons, teas or evening gather ings. It was not entirely the fault of the pretty girls either, for Charles Barkor was 'a man to1 whom women naturally incline gentle, dreamy, pootio and exceptionally handsomo. Had he lived in the' present age for the esthetic, ho might hare been acoused of affectations of posing for admiration; bat it was with him a sincere adoration of art, a dreaming poetic temperament, tbat could lift itsulf and dwell in an ideal world apart. Wealthy, and not very strong physi cally, Charloa Birkordovotod his Ufq to his books, his pen and his ponoil, never attaining to the highest ezcel- ecoe in poetry, musio or painting, yot possessing talent above the average amateares. And into his droam life there crept a roality that filled his heart and ills brain with now visions and hopes. Ho fell in lovel Rather, ho softlv, tenderly, floated along upon the' musio of a sweet voice, tho light of a fair, womanly' beauty, till, scarcely uuuauiuus qi ma own iniauimuu, no gave. to Bertha English the whole love 01 a neart as yet nntoucnea by woman's charms. Tbat she was an heiress, wooed by others, the gentle belle of more than one social circle, did not trouble him for a moment He scarcely asked if he loved him. Thoroughly unpract ical, full of visionary, ideal dreams, he did not try to plan a future, seeking bis love in her home when he was sure ahe was alone, joining in her woodland rambles, filling his portfolio with sketches of her face and writing poems to her oat 'of the'fullness'of his heart. And1 there in he erred, for Mrs. Fer guson, "clearing up his rubbish" one morning a task she never trusted to a servant upset his portfolio, and plunged into the very heart of his se cret. She was delighted. Bertha English would have been her own choioo'from all the world of women. Bhe had been so afraid that Jennie Ralston would sucoeed in her brazen 'faced endeavors to captivate Charles 'that she had fairly trembled for him. It waa true that he seemed to be so- renely ncoonscious of that pretty, sauoy damsel's endeavors to win him, but there were' times when Mrs. Ferguson feared bis own absent ways might' draw him into some avowal that his, sensitive honor would compel him to repeat. Having mado hor discovery, Mrs. Ferguson next attacked the victim. How he shrank and quivered when his cherished secret was dragged out and spread before him I could never des cribe; how overv nervo shuddered and reooilod as Mrs Ferguson urged npon him the necessity of immediate aetion can never be told. It was like tearing open tho petals of a moss rosebud, and then biding it to'bloom to full beauty as it it naa been suaered to sottly un fold itself in the sunlight. "3Tou must propose soon oryou will lose her," Mrs. Ferguson bad declared. "Why, she has a dozen admirers. Do you suppose they will all shilly-shally as you do. She worried and badgered him until he actually wrote hja proposal, which she undertook to deliver. It was un like the courting of which he had dreamed as moon rays to gaslight, but 'he did ask to have his lovo returned, and beggod Bertha to be his wife. Only instead of "Bertha," being once started with a pen in his hand, be wrote "darling," and "dearest," and "mv own sweet love." Once potwessod of this douument,Mrs Ferguson became poetic, resolving that it should not be .delivered in a commonplace envelope, but, as suited suoh natures as tbat of her nephew, in a basket of flowers, buried in roses and smothered in porfume. 1 bo basket waa a marvel of beauty wnen aiary, juiss English's maid, orougnt n to tier room. "Mrs. Fergnson left it, miss, and uau not time to call, alio did not got out oi ner oarnege." Now Bertha had her dreams, too, whereof tbo hero possessod Charles Barker's velvety brown eyes, his wav- iujj uiuwu uair ami vanayKO oearu, hisclaesio features and low, musical voice. Heiress as sho was, oourtcd, flatterod and potted, she had a pure girlish heart, full of romance and ten denies, and she had given it in its first sweetness to Charles Barker. Loving hjtn, she, too, had visions of a day when he would whisper his heart.s secret into hor ear and, in soft tender accents, woo her to bo his own. She looked carelessly at the flowors then attraotod by their beauty, admlr ed and pelted them. "Mary," she said, "put on your hat and take this to old Mrs. Worth, with my love. I had intended to out her some flowers today, bat this is prettier than I could arrange." Mary obeyod, and Bertha took up the thread of her musings. "Doary mel" old Mrs. Worth said. "Miss Bertha is very kind. Thank her for me, Mary," Then she, too, fell to admiring the flowers, until sho suddenly remembered tbat it was her son's birthday. What could she give him that would delight him more than thoso pretty flowers? Sho put her card and a line "With mother's love and birthday greeting" on top of the fragment heap, and sent the basket to John Worth s bachelor Apartments.

It purifies the blood and makes tbo weak strong. f ebrnary Floral Hiats- At thia season everything begins to think of spring, and the plants in your window will slurl into new vigorous growth if given half a chance. Stir the soil in the pots. Uivo them all the sunshine possible, and as much fresh air as oan safely be aiiiitttel. Shower them daily, aud suo that no in sects ,aro allowed to collect and work on the now Shoots. Givo a watering with liqnid manuro once a week at least, twice is better, to all that are making new wood, "and repot those nee ting moro room tor their roots. It is quito important that thn attention thould bo given now, as a shift later on will interfere with tho growth of tho plant for a time,' and everything ca'cu lated to check its steady development should be avoided. Do what is neces sary before tho plant'gets muoh of a start.' i Bring np your Fuohsias -from -the collar and repot them, cutting the old branobes back, at least half, if that was not done when you put-them away in the fall. Give plenty of water, a good' light, and a rich, well-drained soil. They will soon break freely all over tbe old wood, and by March they will oe covered with now snoots and healthy foliage. Those who perdiet in keeping their Fuohsias in living room all winter know very little of what tb'n plant is capable of doing ,if given a complete test for three or four months. After such a rest it will make an astonishing growth in such' a short time, and be' loaded down with (lowers, a cood sharo' of the summer and falls but if kept in the light and heat all winter it will grow tall and spindling, and be wolk, and givo but fwwiblosoms.
