BETTY AND THE COW-S, ry W 11.1,1AM WHITWORTH. lie had a jovta.1 florid face, of decided English type, and his speech was strongly marked by the ime nationality. -Seated on the opposite side of a more than com" monly cheery ;en lire-place, sunrounded . by a great display of bright tinware hang ing to the walls, and comer cupbeard filled With pretty I4w.e delf. glass, and China, sat a woman of finally striking Knglish as pect, "clcau and neat as a pin." with smooth, pink-tintttd cheeks, mild blue eyes, and brown hair just turning gray. There was a twinkling c;le,atit of bjjmac dancing nt the corners of !ii cyesas ho held his slMvrt r'pe aloft and said to me: ." Do yoo knaw, I used to have t'samo ding'd fool idea aboot t' women. Kobbody couldn't tt 11 me a woman bad an y he ad for business. It's t'Kuplish idea, yo kr.aw, that t'womenlike c:its should slick to theer 'nvn firesides. I was browt up t'that notion, nnd nobbody couldn't niak me believe as t'women weer fit for owt but tendin" t'children nnd niakkiu' thin-s comfortable for t'liusbamL "But,ang my buttons yo knaw, t'tmd missus theer ah ! she's gotten a head on her oud shon'ders ! t'oud missus theer let me krraw a blamed sight better nor that. listen, and I'll tell yo how it cooiu. nec gotten noi trnt a wee mite or a ere a bonny son. And David, lad, I donna like thco to be di- in' ibety bit o' th' work nnd me doin" nowt. Iet n:e get some work o' some kind and helptbeo.' "I up and toud t'oud dame -a this'n : 'Thee tend to th' housework and leave mo to do th airnincr out o' dixtrs. Thee's got ten no head for business. That's men's work.' lint she kept on worrit ing, so at last 1 tcok i'JO I'd gotten saved oop i' th' savings l, ink and bought a conploo' cows. ' Xa,' lass, snys I, thee can potter thee time nway wi' tliem' lnakkin' sure she'd bo sick enoof o' her job in a little while. I thou't I'd best do that to get til' nuigjot odt't her foolish heath I toud her I'd do th' milkmsj for her, but she toud me she could manage liersea if I'd tend to th' work I were doin.' " I must tell yo ns I'd gotten that $00 saved to'ards a littlo house nnd lot we'd been wanting to get iver since we'd been 1 th country ; but, so far, that was all I'd Ivtr been aula to scrape oop. And no I made sure euoof 't was all as good as gone to Gherico. "But, do yo knnw, mister, fond d.ime tackled them cows so weel that before t'eend o' six months she had t' first cost saved np aboon their keep, and In a year t'wholo price o' th' house rent, clean and slick as a whistle ! T'say I was astonished wean't begin to tell ow I felt aboot it Dang my buttons, 5"o knaw, it was turning t'oud ideas topsy- turvey. I ooodn't see Into it upon onny other basis 'cept t' idear its at least one -o' th' women folks had gotten a head on tf her shoulders ! "But this was knawthin'. Before ;t'end of another year she had fowermore cows boughtcu, and had me rent a bigger place; and when I wanted to help to tak some o'th trouble ofn' her hands, she toud me to stick to my man's wark, and let her manage hersen I A head upo' her shoulders! Hhe managed t'sich a way as pretty nigh bewildered me. When I counted ten cows all clean paid for, and see that littlo dame selling the milk and butter and keeping tho accounts as far rantly as a store dark, I hud to acknowl edge I was beaten ilat beaten J " But she surprised me worse nor that. One day she said ; " David, my lad, th' work Is getten a' most too much for me. I can manage weel enough, but I want help i' th' wark part. I think thee had better let thy wark go and stay at home and put in a' thy time wi' me.' "And, dang my buttons, mister, Betty actooally hired me to work for her, while ehe did th' managing: Blesn my soul, how the bare idea stunned me t It knocked all t'oud English ideas aboot" t' women folks having no head for business clean oot ! Dash my wig! what a head that lit tle dame let me see she had upox her ehoulders 1 To tell the clean truth I was nowheer. At first, to say it plain, I was mightily miffed i' the bottom. T'oud English idea stuck to rue above a bit. But when she keept on till theer was seventeen hs Iroiuiy cows as ivcr yo see,' all clear paid for, and a home of onp ouwn onabissnsn piece o' ground secured by a solid payment down, I hugged t'denr lass to my whiskers wi' a buss as did her soul good, and said : ' Betty 1 the'es gotten a better head on thy shoulders nor I iver had, and I ouwn up beat like a man !' " And uoo, mister, when yo iver hear a tool chap puttin' women down below a man's capacity for business send him to oudSammyiWivvletree, and I'll show him such a head as he'll niver have uppo his shoulders if he lives till he's as old aa Methuuelam 1" SAILOR W0MET. AN OCCUPATION IU WHICH MEH EXCXL. Now and Then a Woman Hm Be eoiHf a Sullnr, and Han made Vame and omellmc Fortune Fereclona Female PIratcn. "Women are making their way on shore Into all sorts of trades aud occupations," said an old skipper to a New York Sun Teportcr,'"but it will be along time, I'm thinking, before you will see a woman in oommand of a Liverpool packet running across tire 'Western ocean. Not but what a womau could do all the work a skipper needs to do on one ot these big steamships, providing she knew enotvgh. It is a mat ter of endurance with ths skipper, and not 'muscular strength. The skipper neither pulls on ropes Tior hands and reefs, nor stands a trick ot the wheel. He jnSt stays on deck and looks after things, without any watch below worth speaking of, from the time he leaves Queenstown till he's tied up alongside of some North Fclver pier. There ars plenty of woraea 'Who could do that if tiies knew enonyrh. But the trouble is -the learning. They have got to do tho work before they, can boss it; at least, that's the general idea among salkor men. "There have 'tom cases, howsver, though iot very many where women have shown themselves to be flrsclass sailors. ilnybe you have seen - a big sc.honer yacht croisin;f about the' lower bay with a handsome ;ray haired woman standing nt the v be.l a:id ketpii.g her full nnd by with mo spoke. I have, any how, ar.d I am told that there are ha'.f a dozen ladies whose husbands belong to the New York Yacht Club who are as handy nbout tlru deck us their Jiusbauds are. " Ship owners bavo a cast-in.n, caso hardened rule which forbids skippers to take their wives to sea, tho theory beitis; that a Captain will be looking after the wife when heotight to be looking after the ship. It's a bai theory, and is not al ways held to. There is the case of the cargo ship Edgar, homeward fejund from Senegal to London. The fever broke out, and all the crev were prostrated except th'j C:.ptain and the mate. These two men went into the engine room, and the Cap tain's wife steered. But Sor hor grit the tdijri would have been lost. "" Then there was the heroic Mary Pat ten, who was with her husband in a voyjvre around the Horn in the early days of the I California gold excitement. Her husband was taken sick, off the Horn, and she took his place on the quarter deck. The crew were a lot of swabs, and' none of them knew a sextaut from aspud-bng. not even , the mate ; but it rs. T'atten kept the log, ' and took the son, and navipated the ship Into 'Prisco, caring for her husband when ' it was her watch below. 1 ' "Another case where a woman served , as skipper ia that of the British brig Clettus, Miss Betsy Miller, master. Her fati-er was a ship owner of Saltcoats. He had no sons, and took his daughter into hiseflioe and abcul the docks as a com panion. She gradually picked np a I knowledge of shius and navigation. Fin ally she became -so much enamored with a life at sea that her father put her ia comiuand of the Cleotus which he built especially for her. For more than twenty years she sailed the Clootus about the stormy coasts of fJreat Britain and the con tinent, resisting Qie wooings ot the many gallant sailor boys who were fascinated by her bravery, and when her father died she succeeded to and coaductad his busi ness successfully. "Not long ago a mui who had for years served as quartermaster in the British navy died at a hospital ui Ixndon. His name-was Thomas Phelan. He-was born on the frigate Swallow ia 1812, his mother having Been regularly flapped on board the vessel. She was a married woman, her husband being a gunner. Three weeks after Tommy was born tho Swallow was attacked by two French vessels off Frejus. During the action Mrs. Phelan was stationed to assist the surgeon in the care of the wounded. While the shijis were engaged, yardarm to yardarm.. word reached her tkaX her htis'oaud had been dangerously wounded on deck. She at once rushed on deck and took him in her arms. He opened his eyes, whispered her name, and then closed them again. At that instant a large cannon ball toott off her head, aud the two died together. They were sewed np in one hammock and bnried in the sea after the action was over. " Not the least interesting of the.stories of women at sea are the tales of the fe male pirates. Someof them are historical as well as rmartic. Alwilda, the daughter of Synardu, a Gothic King, was betrothed by her father to Alf. tho heir to the throne of Denmark. The proposed marriage was ao disagreeable to Alwilda that she gathered a troup of youiu Ama zons, dressed them in the garb ot sailors, left her home, and put to sea as a vikina. She was exceedingly courafcous and suc cessful. Finally she one day found a crew of pirates who were bewailing the loss of their commander. She proposed that thoy sail under her conixnaud. The men were plaasod wlrk her bearing and readily accepted.. With this increase of forces she became a terror to the coast and rapidly increased her fleet aud the nnmber of her sailors. It finally became necessary toexterminate this new band of pirates under an unknown and handsome commander, and Alf, thfl rejected lover, was placet! in command of tho naval fleet that was ordered to search for her. The two 1-eeU a.c-t ia the gulf of Finland. Alwilda hud her ship alongside the Ad miral's, and iu tlu battle that eusuc.l half of her crew was killed outright, anfl she was ovcrpoweaed by the Adiairalhim-sc-lf. She wore a casque over her head, and was not recognized until she h.t 1 been disarmed, and the casqiit? was re moved. The astonishment of the pros pective King was great when he saw the runaw.-y girl. His valor in action had meantime, fair pi'.-.tte, who ,U'. won the rcsr-c 1 1 mu'iied of .e ti.e man and t: !!0 red her. A CTJBi PAPER ROMANCE. TheOIrl YTIio Fixed Her Bifk Hair Won the Beau nnd la Uappy. A well-dressed young gentleman of about thirty years of age presented his card to the head of one of the largest bus iness honses of Louisville, Ky. He repre sented a house in a neighboring city, and was accorded a cordial reception. After petting through with the buslnes.'n hand the merchant was so prepossessed with the a.jetit that he asked the pleasure of fintrodiieiug bimt-o his family at dinner the same day. Tfc.e invitation was mo, e-dly and th.tnkfTtliy accepted, and after a few remarks t ire gentleman, separated to, meet at an appointed place and boui The merchant immediately uitorrrod hia wife of the Intended visit, that shoTUtgV.t make n:itTV.i arrangeiuents for he n tertaintMOTit'f the expected Rnes't. Itweis n wiivni daT, just the sort of a day to keep away from extensive toi lefts and new iifqn.-dTttittwes. So indismation followed Hie nr.Tio-iticpment thai a guest was, cotr inc, and ibe daughters declared th:t they would neither take thv-fr hair out of curl papers nor change their gowns for other gnrmflnts. This m consideration of the paternal ancestry fnrnished food for cou versa'.ton for tho next frjnv hours, aud by tiuvefor dinner the sw;w.t girls had en tered into a solcom compact that they wonJd not o;ily look tas ugly as possibte, bilt did not intend to-ny "a single won!" to the horrid tranj?ar. They knew lie would be old arjl untKteresting, and they didn't care any way. Finally the guest "was announced: and -fhe yonng ladies, at least two of them, gloating over their independence, anil-each foel tug every inoh A martyr, floated !tt tho parlor iu their neglige costumes and were formally.in trodnced to the stri tiger:" But one of the sisters broke t-ho compact entered int and appeared lu a ueat-fltting drerss, with hw hair tufconiinjrly arranged and form ing a stTPng contrast to her more Inde pendent feistera. The dinner passed 'IT without in-jideiit, the polite stranger making hiuisr generally agreeable, -but paying no especial attention U cither of tlie tliive. .Observing the etiquette of po lite society,'.te called on the family tho I next evening, anil after spending -a Jrief i hour with tiiem left with the assurance j that he w-j!d be welcomed at any time ! he might return to the city. The young - ladies vated him "the nicest ?nan "' they had sver met, and the dear miother J could talk, of no ouo else. 1 Three or four days after this, while tho ! father was engrossed In the derails of ( business, one morning he came across a ' letter which banished all tlicughts of ! traile aul profit from his bruin. Jt was from this young stranger. Ho aked ptr J missior to address hU daughter. After worry ir. 3 over the matter all thr morning the faUieJ took the letter homo and gave it to his wile. Not understuBdisg it, 9he gave it to each of the daughters. They were a3 much startled as their parents. The divine stranger had previously given no intimations of any serious intentions, and had hardly had a word ia private with any of them. There wa- a mysV-ry some where. After giving the matfer much consideration it was decided that the father should write the h.-uidsomi slranger and ask of him plainly which -one of the. daughters he desired to address. The letter was written and mailed, and oh :. the suspense aud agitation of the next four days. No one who came to the door of the beautiful house could brin; as much, of iotcrest to the occupants as the post man, and liia coming was the no absorbing-topic in that household. Finally, on the third morning there came letter ; it was postmarked from the city of tho stranger, aed the handwriting was much like that of the first. It was anxiously taken to the mast private part of tho house, and. with mother and daughters breath less with suppressed excitement, .-the seal was broken, the contents read, a:id the name of the fortunate girl disclosed. It was the one who had taken tho pains to dress herself becomingly at the first dinner. The letter was answered affirmatively ; the young and ardent lover immediately returned to the city to begin the wooing of his lady-love. It was a short and an ar dent. uourthip, and in the end he wob his suit. After remaiifiiig for a week or ten days. tire gentleman returned home, got the free consent of his own parents, asjd the wedding-day was appointed. They were married in eight weeks nid live in elegant style in a city not far from Louis ville. The parents of the gentleman are wealthy, and he is the only chdd. -Swallows Kill a Hatvk. Near Yotmgsville, N. Y., a large hawk swooped down upon a poultry yard, and, seizing a hen. flew with it to the top of a neighboring tree. The hen made a great outcry, and before the hawk could kill It a swaUow made a dash at the hawk, and pecked and worried it so that it released the hen and attempted to fly awny. The hen fluttered to the gronnd and ran back to the poultry yard. The swallow kept up its attack en the hawk, and it was soon Joined by other swallows. The cour ageous little birds surrounded the hawk, and assailed It fiercely, until tho big bird dropped to the ground. The farmer on whose ground the conflict took place hur ried to the spot. The swallows had the hawk on the ground and were peckina; it mercilessly. They were so mnch engaged in the attack that the farmer walked with in three feet of them before they discovered him and flew away. The farmer picked up the hawk. Both of its eyes had been picked out, and it was so badly hurt In other ways that it died in a few -minutes. Humors ol the Day. "Sleeping ont loud " Is the child's do fln ftion for snoring.

" Practice makes perfect." observed the train ooy as he folded and smoothed the newtpapcrs that he had gathered from the seats, geftfeig them ready to be sold agsdn. "Practice makes perfect. If a railroad man jumps from a train when it is making twenty miles an hour he does pretty well if he keeps his feet, but I U"ed to jump off the limited express on the New York Central when it was making fifty miles an hour.

ClMj-le&ou Courier. 3rcCn!Ionslie Beslnninx, John McCullough the actor, was married at the age of 19, while he was yet a black smith at the forge and was only dreaming of the stage. His first professional ad vancement he owed to Edwin Adams, who, then a rising young tragedian, had observed this ambitious spirit iu the ranks. Edwin Forrest sent in great haste one day for Edwin Adams to come to Connecticut from Philadelphia, to play Pythias to his Damon. Adams could not go, but sent his youug friend McCullough, with a letter of introduction, half as a joke, and half as an experiment. Forrest took kindly to the young Irishman, re buked him a littlo, but coached him alittlo, too, lifted him ont of tho ranks, and played Damon to McCullough's Pythias so long as he lived. McCullough meanwhile out stripped his early friend, and played Damon to Edwin Adams' Pythias ns long as ho lived. What He W ill Do.

One-halt of the really good writers of the age. says a Washington correspon dent of the Chicago News, are engaged by the great newspapers, the other half are writing IkjoRs, nnd all of them, more or less, are selling their names at tat bed to their second and third olass work, and rnmaging their waste baskets for tha benefit of the magazines. The publishers of these periodicals appreciate their true status. Year by year they are paying more and more attention to the pictorial features, just as the annuals before thtra came finally to be sold on the merits of the engravings alone and they are ad vertised very much as the late Dr. Bran dreth advertised his celebrated proprietary medicines. It is nip and tuck between the magazines and certain manufacturers as to which shall sell the most volumes or bottles. The editor of one of the leading mapa fcirws of the country told me on one occa- : sion that he did not see how It was possi ble for anybody to make a living by magazine writing. In my humble opinion this settles the question. A pursuit at which it Is impossible to make a living can never in this age command the best and brightest minds. The magazines pay no salaries except to the editors and only pay for the matter they print. No doubt the newspapers would be glad enough if they could do likewise, but, mark well the newspapers cannot exist without a class of writers who not only are paid for their work, but for their time when they are not working, and who command, even the lowest of them, living salaries not only In an open market, but where there are multitudes of people ready and anx ious to write for nothing. Iti no branch of trade for literature is a trade as well as art ran this anomalous condition be found where workers hold their own, de manding and receiving go-ul wages for work which an innumerable army clam ors to do for nothing. The rewards of magazine -writing are mender even to the most successful. Jun ius Henri Browne, eertainly a most de lightful writer, is quoted as saying that he was never able to make more than -,''! a year by the hardest kind of work on the magazines. Mrs. Frances Hogdson Bur nett, when the Scribners were advertising her the loudest, did not receive --!," to a year from the magazine. I think she did not get more than $127 a month for a monthly part of one of her serial storic besides the royalty on tho book when it was published and her contract forbade her to write for any other r---ri-dical. Imagine a newspaper wj-lter of Mrs. Bur nett's relative reputation working for about JS'x.t a month all told, and forbidden to write for any other publication '. The most money a contributor can make out of a magazine is by a serial story, a series of articles to be published in book form. It is a case in which the interests of the author and publisher are p-.'culiarly asso ciated, the popularity of the bwok being an advertisement for the magazine in which it first appeared but as for the ac tual money paid for the serial parts It is probably not large. As for the salaries of one editor in-chief of a magazine, and one or two subordinates, I imagine they are good ; as the magazine pays only two or three salaries among its workers It can xfford to do something handsome for thorn. The Habit ot Saving. Children who have a little money ought to practice saving something. Many boys and giris of to-day hardly know a higher use for any money that comes into their hands than spending it for some foolish thing as quickly as possi ble. To such a leseon in self-denial and econ omy is very Important. As go the boy's pennies and dimes, so, very likely, will go the man's dollars and liundrcds by and by. Without having the spirit of a miser, th person accustomed to save has more pleasure in layiag up than a spendthrift ever knows. The way to keep money is to earn It fair ly and honestly. Money so obtained Is pretty certain to abide with its possessor. But money that is iuherited, or that in any way comes without a fair and just equivalent, la almost certain to go as it came. The young man who begins by saving a few dollars a month, and thriftily increases bis store every coin being a representa tive of good, solid work, honestly and manfully done stands a better chance to spend the last half of his life in afiiuence and comfort, than he who.in his haste to be come rich.obtalns money by dashiDgspecu latlons.or the devious means which abound in the foggy region lying between fair dealing and actual fraud. Among the wisest and most thrifty men of wealth, the current proverb Is, money goes as it comes. Let the young make a note of this and see that their money comes fairly, that it may Ion 2 abide with them. "Tola'a t.at Novel. Extract from Emile Zola's last novel : "Rain was falling in Paris.
