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

The Spring Medicine.
Tho popularity which Hood's Sar-
saparilla has gained as a spring medi
cine is wonderful. It posesses lust
those elements of healthgiving, blood
purifying and appetite restoring wliieh
everybody seems to need at thia season.
Uo not continue in a dull tired, unsatis
factory condition whon you mty oe so
much benetited br Hood's Sarsaparilla.
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,
