I'iKjr littlr Mr.t Oleott had Ivvn ao
rustouivd (lurins; tin whole of her niar

chanci! tl pt'itce was in yildin t lu r
sol!i.-.l:ly-detcruiuesl hu,)and, a?id al
lowing him to carry Ida point without
opposition.
Jciui'm was differently constituted.

his yov.n'est c-hlM.
She hud Uvu away from home) for
nearly three yoarv tin pretty, hrown
hiiired irl with the determined faeo
ntul pnu'dul oiirriayvi, and the father
sseerotly a!mlnl rtnd aim. st fcaa-sl lic-r.
A wealthy ami clill.llt's-s a'.int iith,eily
h:id liesoujht Jennie t share lier liomo,
and.IIirain Uleott's pretty 1 1. 1 lighter,
Uiouh elininsr to the farm, with all
its dear memories of rhildh.HHl and
ciiiliihooi'.'s joys, chose) wisely when
she yi. lded to her a'.mt's rv jr.c-t. It
wan hettor fur Wttcr ior her, for
even after her -in?', there were plen
ty of children to keep the) miserly old
farmer in a perpetual rrumll;" alxjut
ino;ioy natters.
It was May and the country wore onil
plad smile, and Jennie hailed with de
light the prospect of a visit to her
home, assmnin;r very willingly the) re
sponsibility of housekeeping while her
two unmarried sisters attended the
wedding of a ctusin in a distant town.
This morning' fcho was cookinjj, and
with her slccres rolled above her
elbows utond beside the kitchen table.
In one hand she held an earthen plate,
while the clip, clip, clip of a fork
sounded noisily as she whipped some
cps to a froth.
"Yer siktors hed to ranrry to suit
him," wailed the nervous little woman,
"an" vou'll her to. trw: ef voil don't
there'll be awful fusses -so you'll jes'
letter K'ire in."
Thai laorninpr the father had sjxiken
to .leiitiio of a younr farmer, whom he
termed a "likely oatcli." S!io had ex
pressed her opinion f hiia in so decided
a wa3 as to alarm Mr. Oleott for the
safety of hlfi much prized authority.
lie was wont to spetrk of himself as a
marvelous example of the patriarch.
"Make "em mind."' ho would say.
"Keep yer household ttencath yer feet;
govern 'em well, an" they'll j,rit along."
Jennie's boldness in opposing hi.
judgment so stuiefied him that his
anger had not yet had time to blaze
forth; but Mrs. Oleott knew it would
come and so, after her husband had
left the kitchen, she pleaded with the
girl to "give in." Jennie had leen very
thoughtful during the little woman's
appeal, but riow she was resolved, and
it was the Oleott in her nature which
spoke: "I wonldn't marry Jordan
Moggs though father should threaten to
murder me."
The eggs were atiff now, and as she
set the plate down on the table, she
turned from her motherand busied her
self among the ingredients for cake
baking which were ln-fore her. Jeunic
was blushing, ait she legan softly:
"There is some one in I'oole I like rery
much, mother, and he's coming out
here t- "
"He needn't mind comin', said
Fanner Oleott, grimly, as he stepped
quietly into the kitchen. His face wore
a cunning leer, and hi wind-reddened
cheeks were distorted by the snocring
curves of his hard-lined mouth. Seat
ing himself on one of the paiuted wood
en chairs, lie drew the lniot-jack toward
him and took off his heavy shoes with
a calmness and delilieration that
warned Mrs. Oleott that he was thor
oughly aroused. Tho poor, little, ner
vous, broken-spirited woman had
learned that this particularly quiet and
inoffensive manner of remoring his
footgear alwsy preceded a burst of
passion.
Hiram Oleott set his cowhide boots by
the stove to dry, kicked the jack under
the table, and turning toward his daugh
ter, shouted:
"Don't let me ketch none o yer city
fellers eomia to sec you. Ef they do,
17 1 talk to Vra; not a word now," ho
goowlcd, shaking his long finger mena
cingly at Jennie, as she essayed to
t-pesk. "I'm master in my own house,
nn' you'll not talk till such time as I'm
done. You're been awar an" kinder
forgot how things ia rup here, but you
might as well get broke in now. I tell
you I won't her any city fellers a fol
lcrin' yon; an' ef I ketch your Aunt
Kate raakm matches fur you. Ill jest
fetch yon home from Win" a fine lady
down there au set you workin". He
fore Jennie could speak, he had gone
into the dining-room, slamming tle door
behind him.
Tear of mortification and rage stood
in her brown eyes and hot words
Ic:i-1 t" bef lips, but s she glanced
down at the agonized face of the) little
woman hesido her the fierce mod
changed. She bent to kiss the pain
drawn lips, murmuring: "Never mind,
mother dear, I'll be patient for your
sake"
"That's a good girl, Jennie," replied
Mrs. Oleott, with a sigh of relief, "try
and git along peaceable like, an je.st
give, in for the sake of quiet. Yer pu's,
gettiu wuss and wuss."
Jennie wrotJ a partial account of
what had occurred to her Aunt Kate,
and this was t'.ie answer of that clever
woman: ".My dear Niece: Your father
needs uumagin: and I will undertake
to do it. I havo written to him Vi come
down to the city and advise me almut
tho sale of a piece of property, and you
need not Ins surprised at anything that
happens."
Mrs. Kate Cal ling was the only one
in the world who ever did understand
her brother Jliram, and she hail
planned a clever littl ruse, to be
played on the unsuspecting farmer.
Mr. IJryan, whom Jennie had con
fessed t 1 her mother she cared a great
deal for, wa well suited to her. He
had n.it yet declared his lore, but it
was not un'.rues.sed by tho sh rewd little
maid. -a To Mrs. Calding however lie
had opened his heart, and she ba lj him
wait a little. She knew how prej
udiced her brother was ajaiajt all
arrangements not conducted by him
self, and rightly concluded that he
might put serious diiiiculty iu the way
of the young people After satisfying
herself that the name of Jenaie's lover
was quiu unknown to her brother, she
resolved t-i introduce him as a young
man who would be a good match for
Jennie, if the girl only could be wise
enough to think so. Allowing him to
believe they had never met, she
trusted to his unepaalled obstinacy to
do the rest.
"I've wanted so mtieh to talk with
you alxmt Jennie," said that lady, as
she and Hiram sat in her well-appointed
drawing-room the night of his
arrival.
"Yes, and I'm willin'. She ought to
be settled," said the old mau decidedly.
"It docs not do, Hiram," legan Mrs.
Calding, watching tho hard-lined face
intently, "to depend on a girl's choice,
and "
Well, I guess it dont," he inter
rupted, with a sneer.
"There L, a young man in town who,
I know, admires Jenuie. and if he
should meet her I think something
would co'.ua of it." Very quietly, ret
with the utmost caution, she made this
statement.
The old man was interested. "Rich?"
he infj-iircd. rubbing his bauds gently
together.
"Yes" was the answer; then she
went on:
"Of ceurse it's o rcry uncertain,
niram. You sec, Jennie might refuse
to have a word to say to him, and "
"Now, Kate, look here." interrupted
the thoroughly excited old man, as he
drew his chair nearer hers and empha
sized hiie words with decisive gestures
"ef I like that young man. I'll jest take
him out home with me, an' I'd like to
seo Jennie tell him to go, if I'm livin '."
Mrs Calding was delighted at her
success thus far. The ncx' day Mr.
ISryan was introduced, and liecinne, the
old man's ideal of a son-in-law.
Ou the farmer's return to his home
Mr. I'.ryan accompanied him. having
accepted the hearty invitation of his
new friend to "jest run out an" take a
look around our part of the country."
Jennie had leen appraised of Mr.
I!ryan's coming, and of the little de
ception in which she was to play her
part. She met him as if he were a
stranger, while her father secretly re
joictnl at tho thought of subduing his
proud young daughter.
Mr. Oleott took an early opportunity
to enlighten Jennie as to her duty
toward his new friend, and with a
twinkle in her eye she promised to do
her best to please him in the matter.
A week parsed. Jennie and Mr.
Hryan were rery happy. The days
wsre delightful ones to them, and the
old fanner rublnjilhLs hands at the
sr-ci't'ss of bis scheme, and gave his
consent to an early marriage with no
hesitation.
lie often apeak now of his match
making. "There's Jennie," he will
say: "She'd her picked up with some
empty-noddled city chap ef I hadn't
jest took her in hand. I brnng liryan
out an' told her that she'd got to behave
to him. It's the only way to do jest
make 'cm mind, an' they'll git along."
They would not undeceive him for
anything the happy young couple; but
when he boasts they think with loving
gratitude of clever Aunt Kate.

THE IRRITATING MAN.
I tbe One Who Make You Nervous
When cfe I Alxiur.
I lid yon ercrcxpericrce tbe sensation
not a pleasant one of being thrown
into a state of nervousness by the pre
ence of some one? The person may ie
a stranger nr an acquaintance, may le
a good friend or an enemy. There;
Mt-ins to 1k something ceu!iar about
such a one that makes him almost nn
tearable, at least at times. Very like
ly be doesn't affeet others as he affects
you. and you may do your best to orcr
come what you feel to le merely your
own weakness Hut the effort is rain.
He irritates you in some inexplicable
way. The sensation is most emphatic,
although the reason of it may be be
yond your ability to diseorer.
These n re a few of the symptoms of
a common sense case, which you can
not fail to have dingnoscd for yonnwilf
as tiften as you had the time or interest
nc-cessary. You do not need to poc or
hear your man. You can just feci his
presence and it will send your thoughts
scurrying, no matter how well you had
them in band before.
The man who makes you nervous is
a fixture in society as long as people
arc torn with nerves and as long as
-?oplc arc born with different disposi
ns Ar long as poles of magnet at
. -act and repel so long will people hare
ysterious attachments and rerulsions.
ho can account for it? Shall -we Inv
t at the door of magnetism, mesmerism
or hypnotism, or shall we say simply
imagination or perhaps hysterics?

THE OLD SETTLER.

Little Peleg and his grandmother had
had a little mUunderstandicg during
the day over the doing of a few chore.
Ills grandmother hail taken the ground
that the chores should be done and that
ldeg should do them, while lVleg felt
that his duty called him to make good
his promise to rill immons and join
that hojieful yor.th in a : kiting bout on
the mill pond. If he tarried to do the
chores the lct part of th.' day would
be gone, he would miss the skatuig
bout, and on Monday at school i:ill
Simmons would taunt him by :ulapt":ig
that dreaded distich of loyhood d::y s to

a start. The Old Settler's tone wasn't
the one he had expected.
"I said that X guessed gran'mamrny
had gone over to the h-thers and
Feeders meetin,' replied Peleg, taeek-
iy.

tler. "lo y' o'pose yer gi-an'mammy

-' say sumpin" 'bout her goin" to the

Peleg had to admit that he had made
that remark.

Peleg:"
Peleg was disappointed, but by and
by he made another effort, and renewed
the attack on a different line.
"I guess gran'mamrny mubt think I'm
easy stuffed," said he after a long si
lence, during which the Oid Settler had
puffed calmly at lili pipe. "You know
them funny shaped things in the moon?
Well, I asked gran'iauinmy what they
was once, and she said: "Man iu the.
moon, eatiu' cabbage with a spoon!'
Uuhl" exclaimed Peleg, contemptuous
ly. "Man in the moon' Jes' as if sh.j
could stuff me with a man beiu in the
moonl"
"Peleg:" exclaimed the Old Settler,
sternly. "Yer gran'mamrny knows w'at
she's talkin 'bout: She's seen that

"Nothin:" exclaimed Peleg. giving
up the struggle. "But the skatin' was

"liill Simmons be dinned'"' cried the
Old Settler. "Seems ez if that pesky

"Hut, gTan'pop," said Teleg, I
wasn't "
"Ncrer mindl" exclaimed the Old Set
tler, interrupting Peleg, and waring his
hand as if to brush away tho unpleas
ant subject. He puffed at his pipe in
silence for a long time, and Peleg
mused bitterly on how hard it w as to
be a boy. His musings were interrupt
ed by the cat rubbing herself against
his leg. and he was in the depth of a
scheme by w hich he could manage to
accidentally tumble puss in the water
pail on the kitchen bench, when his
grandfather spoke and the scheme was
abandoned.
"Soy, thort yer gran'mamrny were
tryin to stuff y. did ye, w'en she tol' yV
'bout the man in the moon?' said the
Old Settler, in a mild and bantering
voice and with a . twinkle in his eye.
"Then I guess she couldn't ha follered
it up by tell in y the ttory she knows
'bout one o' yer ancisters, did she?"
"No." exclaimed Peleg, forgettinirhis
troubles in anticipation of hearing a
lively chapter of family history. "Was
he the man in the moon, grah'pop?"
-Not euzac ly, sonny! Not cdzacly!"

HIS rEIiyCISlTE.
Why tho Squire Dorsn't Kocp as
Well Posted as Formerly.
It ought to Ik' here by this time,
said the postmaster of Darby, as he
shuttled in from taking a squinting
view through his fi.-.t down the "turu
j.ike." "Ueli, I can't wail. If uiiytluug
comes .-nd it u;x" Jake Perkins
picked up his molasses-jug and went
out.
The Darby mud was late: aud when,
a few inintit -s lut.-r, some one an
couii.v'd the approa.h -f the mail, the
post -mister felt called upm to vindicate
his own position by censure of the mail
carrier, w ho climoed slut, ly out of the
dilapIdatiHl old buggy called the
"etage."
"You must hnve a powerful heavy
mail, you're so long getting herei," he
began.
"Always havo a heuvy mail when
Hilly' uboard," said I'ncle Hilly Tate,
winking as be entered with his usual
deliberation and threw the muii jouch
with a circular motion over the counter
and around lichind the small cltist-r d
boxes known as the Darby post oihi.
"That may all lie so," said the squire,
"hut the jxople of this town don't feel
obliged to wait all day on u govern
ment onicial, on no solider ground than
his being fat and his horse lean. This
oflice is run for the people, uot for a
IeoT)le, and they want their iiews on
time."
"The news'll keep." said one.
"An the squire'li never let his iht
kisites sjMtil a-layin'," remarked an
other, with a wink.
These frequcutor jf the comliina
tioa village otore and post oflice knew
that the squire i-t least waultl the
news: and it was no secret tlnit the
newspajK-rs and jostal cards that came
in the mail for the families li irig . n
the outlying hills gave 1dm un oppor
tunity f.r supplying his wants an op
portunity net enjoyed by the less
favored residents
In reality the squire hud rejoiced
over this fact when he took tho oflice,
1 -joking upon it as one of the erquisites
of the posit ion. and -"jKirquisites" hu
always had an eye upon.
lie nan always reasoned that anyone
had a ri-jht to make a good thing when
he coul.l. If he hud a better chance
than mo,t people for news why, if
there was anything to b made out of
it, vh.j had a better right to Use it?

He jiliiipeel a pjs'coi card iuU hi wife's
hand.
I "Perkinses coming, S'liny."
In a very )iort time his wife thrust
her kxiad into the store.-
"Why. it don't concern ns; there's no
news on it." the said, with evident dis
r.ppoinlmeiit. "Miat of it?" she tjues-li-juti,
us she slid back to tho oilice
and rcaehed up to place the pistal card
among the P's.
"I'll put that card up, S'liny. Just
you leave it dovn there. So you think
that isn't news and don't concern us!
Well, I reckon it docs You wuil till I
get this mackerel kit down cellar."
Presently he came up from the cellar.
"Isu't it eleven miles t j Perkins'?" he
a.sked. "And isn't Kaf free as water
with his money? The man that takes
"em up there's going to get paid for it,
and I'm going to be that man."
"You! Why, Dan'l, w here's your
t'other horse and your wagon?"
"I've thought that out. Fry's mare
for a half-dollar, and Job's big wagon
another, said I'll clear a full five on it."
"Hut Jake'll go after 'cm, sure, if he
gets wind of it"
"J ntt so! Hut he's got to get wind of
it. To-day's Monday, aud I'm thinking
he won't get that card before Thursday,
bee?"
"La. yes I see, but don't yn goto
doing anything against the law, Dan'L"
"Well, 'tisa't against the law to for
get." The card was whisked among
some papers as a customer entered.
Thursday morning found the squire
at the early train, but there was no one
there answering to the Perkins' rela
tires. "Perhaps the folks you are looking
for will come on the night express,"
said the conductor, of whom he in
quired. "That's due at six."
"At six o'clock it'll be dark," he
mused, "end they'll pny almost any
price to get there. I'll wait: lint what
ails that horse's foot?"'
Inspection prorcd that the borrowed
animal had cast a shoe, which had to be
set. Then he had to have crackers aad
cheese for the day of waiting; but night
and the express came at last, and no
Perkinses upon it.
"Well, it'a queer, mighty queer!"
mused the squire, as he drove slow ly
homeward. "They said Thursday, aud
here Us Thursday night Whoa-p!"

was Wing driven along the dark road.
Ily the light of a match he discovered
a Imdly wrenched w heeL
"You come, Dun 1?"
, It was late when his wife peered out
into the gloom as he stumbled in out of
the dark.
"Yes, I have, and that's more than
other folks have!" he answered, gruffly.
"Didn't Raf s folks come?"
"No, they didn't, and I dont see what
folks want to be writing to make folks
traipse "round after them for like tkU
all for nothing. Anybody been for the
mail?"
"No, but a man's been here to buy
the old gray, and he said he guessed,
sec-ini'' tlat neither you nor the horse
was here, he'd b:-k down."
"Jiminetty! If I didn't forget I'd set

he groaned. "And all bcc-uU
they didn't come up to their word."
Next day, after the squire had d.:-tribut-d
the mail, Jacob Perkins en
tered the store.
Hello, squire! What's tho mattOi
with uncle Sum this we. k?"
"(,'nel.- SarnV" the squire asked, f o :
