Joldeo Dos, MISS BELINDA'S BEES. , How Tfaoy AtsUtcd the Little Go3 of Love. When tb city rUilora who wortccd around Mapl Center and reylslefvJ tbir names by thp score ia tbe locks of the village hotel strolled out on the Maple roa-l they r.lways atoppe.1 at the Bubble farmhouse and crtiMi: "How ex- quisitel ilorr picturesque!" And, for the life of her, Mi IMcda Bubble ula not kn'.iw why "Jt niu't a-, if I could affcrd a coat of paint to the old !ouse," aaid she. "It's jnst u sla'.o brow n, with winter tortus auii 'uinifior suns; and the grape ar bur's J.i a-tumblln' down for lack of a brace fr two of solid timber; and tha well bVion ain't he as convenient as Mrs. Clajf horn's new chain pump, no way you can Hx it; and the stun wall's all overgTowml with them pesky run nln' vines and briars! To be sure, the four o'clock and taornin' glories arv sort o' pretty by the fence, and thero ain't no prettier hollyhock in the country than them dark-red and cherry colored ones Jeat this side of the pear tree. As for the bet hi vet, I always did like beehives, even if it wasn't for tho honey. M,v mother set a heap o' store by them beehive, aod there they've stood, nine of 'em in a row, ever alnce 1 can remember. And there ain't no honey In all the county as has (jot the flavor of ourn. I don't know whether it's Squire Carbuncle's buckwheat field or that there clover medder of Mr. Dar nell's as does it. But yoo can fairly taste the xanthine and the flcrtvers in it!" And It was a genuine sight, atetvartn-injf-tlme, whtn Mits Belinda issued forth Into the bhuck and booming clouds, all gloved acd veiled and tied cp in a mosquito netting, with a tin pan and akimmur in her hand. "I glnerally have first rate food lock with the warms,' said Belinda. "1 don't know when I've lost one, if only folks wouM let me alone. But it's tho meddlin' people that come to ofer uicir ueipioiu upsets me ana me dui 'Squire Carbuncle, now he's real sensi ble. He fton't never come round inter 'crin'. If he sees tbe bees makis' up their minds to t.warm he jest gets up off his garden chair and (foes into tha house, for be, they're dreadful sen sible. The7 have their likes and their dislikes, jcht a human creeturs have c.id they never could pet alon with 'fiquire Carbuacle!" Squire Carbuncle was a quiet, ffrizzlo heitded man of fifty, who formed a mcHlel farm, with all the new ma chinery patents liberally oiled with fold, read the agricultural papers, and wu always "just trotng to" write an article for the Gentleman Farmer. Mias Bubble her&elf was not mucU younger. Hhe supported herself in a gvuteel way by vest-making for a fac tory In the neighborhood. "I a'poss." said Miss Bubble, "Squire Carbuncle '11 get married some day, and I do hope he'll chooso a soclublo wifj that 1 can take comfort with, exchang ing patterns and chattl ng of an even ing over the garden fen ce." "Belinda Bubble is a sensible wom an," said 8quire Carbuucle, in his deep, bonorous voice. "To my certain know ledge, she has refused one or two khiftless fellows who wanted to marry her merely to be supported. She's a good deal better off single than mar ried." Miss Belinda never said a word when Squire Carbuncle's superb liTcr-colored setter killed her favorite Muscovy duck nd the squire, on hia part, condoned the onVnse, when Miss Bubble's chick ens scratched up all bis early lettuco and made havoe with his seeding pan ales and pinks. "Neighbors orter be neighborly," faid Miss Belinda. "And dog's nature is dog's nature!" "I must stop up the cracks under the fence," sld the squire. "Of course, Belinda can't help her chickeoa getting turoughl So woman could," Thus matters were, when Miss Be linda' cousin, Fannie Halkett, came to visit her-ra plump, peach-cheeked young woman who was cashier at a glove-store In t,he city. "Cousin Bubb)?," bald Fannie, "why don't you marry Squire Carbuncle?" 1 iJLa, Fannrel" cried the elderly dam aeU 'starting back ao suddenly ,-tbat ehe Kepped on one of tbe velvet-white paws of the pet kitten. "Yea, truly, why don't you?" Bid Fannie. "He needs a wife and it would be very nice for you to have a husband.- Kow wouldn't it?" "Go loaf " said Miss Belinda. "I nevjl thought of such a, thing! Nor him neither. Go out, Fannie, aud pick a mesa & whiUi Antwerp raspberries for tea and don't let uie hear uo tr.oru such iiouaense." "Nonsense!" echoed Fannie, laugh ing, as sho went off with a blue-edod bpwl in ber hand. "But I tuiuu it An't nonsonse at all!" And among the Antwerp raspberry vines hhe talked the matter over with JulianHall, Squire Carbuncle's nophow, wSo had me to the farm for a wet it's t-ou' fish leg, and who had developed a very strong propensity for readicg novels under the old pear-tree that overshadowed Miaa Bubble's garden feuce. "Wouldn't It be oioer r-id Fannie. "SylondldP Julian 4nsrer4, lean ing over to put a handful of niApberries Into the blue-edged bowL Whether he leaned too far and lost his footisg or how it happened he did net Iruowi but ccrtain.lt ia that, yost at that moment, one of the beehives fell crasn! over among the raspberry bubhes. Fannie fied in wfld fright, aad Julian himself, rocovrbg his bal ance as beet he might, we driven to Ignominious flight, "Who did thatr said fquire Ca.--bciscle, iaeulcg out cf the door. "I'b afraid I did, sir!" confeeood Julian. "And what ia I to say to Man Bo tmda Babble" sternly demanded his uncle, "I'm sure, air, I Aont hnowl" an swered J-ilian "Such a thing never happened before in all the years that we have lived as neighbor to each other," stld Mr, Cor tmnole. "Of course, t!ie bees hare got away and the glass honey oozes are broken?" "I am very sorry, air," said Julian. The squire, an eminently Just man, harnessed up hi gray potjy and drove to town the next day. That evening he called at the Bubble farmhouse with a square package, teatiy done np ia browr. ruptr, in his arms. Fannie Halkett came to the door. "My dear," said Squire Cferbuncle, "Is your cousin at home?" "Yes, sir," snld Fannie, fluttering all over ondshowing the -vay Into thelst parlor, where the blue paper shades were down and the stuffeJ owl on the mantel tra n&fliced the chance visitors with its eyes of glittering green glu&i "Tell her Tve caUcHl on very par ticular btusincbs," biul the squire, so norously. "Yes, sir!" said Fannie, and sny 6he ran, "Cottbin Belinda, take your hair out of those crimping pins at once," said she, "and let me fasten this blue-ribbon bow at your throat. He's in the parlor. He's come to propobe." "Nonsense, Fannie!" "Put he has! He as good as told me so!" cried Fannie, standing on tiptoe to klst Miss Belinda's withered apple of a cheek. "Do make honte! Don't keep him waiting. Men don't like to be kert waiting." And she fairly pushed Belinda Bubble into the best room. "MUr. Bubble," said the squtre, sol emnly, rising to bis feet, "I have called to ask if you will accept-"" "Yes, Soth," cried Miss Belinda, fling ing herself into his arms. Luckily he had bethought himself to lay the square package down on the table. "Yea, dear Seth, I will Fannie told me you wa going to propose tome, but I didn't believe 1L And fll be aa good a wifj to you as I know how. Acd, oh, Seth, I've ' always loved you since we were young pecpls and went to singing school together!" The squire opened and shot hbt mouth as if It were some curious piece of rr.aehlncry. "Eh!" said ho, staring mechanically at the otcL "I hope," faltered Miss Bubble, "you don't th'uk I've been too hasty in ac cepting your offer?" "No, Belinda, no," said Mr. Carbun cle, swallowing down a lump in hla thrott. "I am much obliged to yon for Firing 'yos,' and I am quite coovlnoed, ray dear, that- you will be a good wife to me." And bo this autumnal couple become engiiged; and the squire never told Be !ic ia that it v.-as the colony of Italian bees he had brought her, not himself, to lay at an oTeriag at her shrine. "But It's just as well," said the squire to himself. "I ought really to be set tled In life, and Belinda is a most worthy woman. It is bent at time to abandon oneself entirely to circum s'.aucjea." "Didn't I te'.lyou so. Cousin Belinda?" snlri Fannie, exultantly. One wedding makes many, and nui'her of tlie elders was surprised when Julian and Fannie became en gaged bhortly after. - "The humming of bees will bo the sweetest, music in all the world to my ears ufter this," cold Julian, fervently. "1 always was, partial to bcea," reitr erated Miss Belinda. Amy Randolph, in N. Y. Ledger. A Novel War to CoUaet a DUL Quite c. novel buggeiilioa in the way of bill-collecting was mod a the other day through the mistake of a man mailing two letters la this city. He had had considerable dil3culty in per suading a young woman that his goods had not been sold to her for the mere pleasure of selling, and finally she had dismissed his messenger with tlie state ment that she did not wat.t to hear from hitn again. Nothing was left for the merchant to do but to resort to the Cnited States mails. He accordingly sat down and wrote to the young woman a letter which was characterized rather by terseness and vigor than by any terms of affoocion. -Fortunately or unfortunately for him, he had a so cial acquaintance with another young lady in the same house, and while he had his pen he thought he would write to her, too, a personal letter. When he came to direct his envelopes, though, he sent the dunning letter to his personal friend and his personal letter to his debtor, it is needless to say that the mistake woe corrected within a few- moments after the re ceipt of the letters, but the debtor's chagrin at tbe revelation of her posi tion to another was so great that she paid her bill Immediately.
