It was the witehin!T hour of twi
light some ten ilsys that Sidney,
after unusually him_ and todsotne
tramp, rested lii, portmanteau upon
the kink of one of, the little lakeh of
the A •rl..gi on, NV hilt, he
poured eag,erly through the gathering
darkness in search of a restin&-place
for the ni!rht.
" Lone as a solitary cloud,'" he
quoted, `• for I see neither traces of
man nor beast. 'Surely that must be

As it' in answer to his question a
little skill' soddenly appeared around
a bend in the stream, at which he
shunted, lustily:
" Ahoy Boat ahoy !"
A_ tew strokes of the .oars, and it
was near enough for him to see that
it was rowed by,a feaade wiMse head
and face ,were, entirely shaded by a
large hat.
" some rustic fisherwoman," was
his thought, as he asked :
" Can I get you to row the across .
the lake, my good woman—near that
cottage among' the trees ?". pointing
in that direction.
With it sli - ght nod of assent the fe,
male rowed to the- shore,-.and held
the boat firmly by one oar planted in
the weeds while -Sidney threw him
self wearily in- the stern.
Thoroughly fatigued by. his long
trump, and lulled by the quiet Splash
of the oars, he- lightly drowsed as
the little boat skimmed over the wa- -
ter. Occasionally he roused . Burn ,
ciently from his semi oriatose state
to note in a dreamy way the litheness'
and syMmetfy of the figure . before
him, as also the rapid and graceful
strokeS of the oars; but he was too
weary to enter
,into any disquisition
of an unknown quantity as represent

ed even by a female form.
'oldy the outlines of objects were
distinguishable when the boat touch.
ed at a little pier, and the feMale
sprang lightly out and' secured it to
the dock with a chain.
Sidney yawned, rubbed his-eyes,
and then slung his portmanteau over
his shoulder and turned to ascend the
hid: Suddenly, as if he had forgot
ten-something, he retraced- hislsteps,
and; going up to the girl, who stood
leaning gracdully upon her oars, he
said
Here, my good woman. I Tim ex
tremely obliged to you,", and he
dropped at silver dollar into her hand.
She stood for a few moments as if
paralyzed with 'amazement ; then,
throwing back her hat, she laughed
in a - joyous, girlish manner that would
have sounded like sweet music to
many a laden soul borne down by a
weight of care and sorrow. '

DISTRIBUTING:OF MAILS • ON RAIL
WAYS.
Formerly, by tar the largest poi-,
tiou of mails- in transit had to lie
over from 12 - to 24 hours at some dis
tributing postotlice. and, hot on fre
quently several such delays were un- I
avoidable in the transmission of the
same mail. Under„ the present.sys
tem every letter and paper is kept in
motion from'thic moment it is depos
ited in the postotliee until. the mo
ment of its &livery, which - abridges
the time of transmission to the least
practical limits. To give each little,
town al9ng the great routes' the full
benefit of this system, mail-catchers
had to be . ,introduced at stations
where stoppages are not made; hut
as this term explains itself, the read
er. may be left to inter the function
from the nepessity under which it
was instituted. As an illustration of
the reVolutitni that has been wrought
in the manner; of handling; and dis
tributing , mails by the introduction . !
of the railwayservice throughout the
country, the present method of sepa
rating by States - may be instanced.
Five or sic years ago the great dis
tributing postotliees were necustgEned
to mike separations of mail f4+even
the most distant States. This was.
etrected by sending
s tile mail for eer
tlainceninties to one central point for
redistribution, and for other counties
to other points. For the State of Ill
inois, for instance., the Mail-matter
for certain countids went to Cleve
lands - that for others, to Toledo; of
others, to Indianapolis,.and so on, in
volving in alVeases . a delay of from
; ' l l2 to 24 hours:at each of these pcdnts.
.Furthermore, the lists themselves
were very imperfect, partly from the
difficulty of keeping them corrected
for such a large area, and
: from such
g -
h
distant points, aceordino the con
stant variation of stage routes, butt
more particularly because a single
county separation in these, days of,
railways was years behind the "age,
and. a route that was feasible for one
section of a county was productive
'of delay and inconvenience in :moth- .
er section. The. remedy applied to
this' defect was that of a separation
by States, and the sending, of mails
- for all distant States. - massed- to the
most distant railway postolllce capa

The road to inikpendence- lies
through saving somethin!'r of what is

too great that the busineis -does not

consists in buying well. A person,of

many people make the _mistake of
buying:a cheap article instead of a
dear one, and imagine they are econ

buying- at all.-
.They could not afford
it,-cheati or dear, and. it is a wise
rule to buy few things - but good ones.
Another essential rule in the art
of saving is never to - spend money
before you get it.. Do without the

necessity, until the inoneyis in your

THE DEVIL'S FRUIT,
l'otato6s were first introduced at
Moscow by a Mr: - Browland, between
cir•litv and ninety years- ago. At :
lir%t-I,eoule wodhl neither plant ,nor •
touch .them, ,saying they were the
devil's - fruit, given to' him on hiEi
complaining to. God that' he had, no
fruit, when he was told to search - in
the earth for some, which he did, and -
found-potatoes. A curious Berwick- .
shire legend; which, however, is pall).
ably iinachronical,: attributes the in- -
troduction of potatoesinto Stotland
tc. that famous wizard of the north,
Sir Michael Scott. The wizard and
the devil being in partnership, took
alease of a farm on the Mertotie•
ekate; called Whitehouse. The wiz:
and was to manage the farm; the
devil managed the capital. The 'pro
duce was to be' divided -es follows :
The first year, Sir Michael was to ,
have all .that grew above the ground,
and his partner all that grew below;
the second year their shares were .to
be just the opposite way. • Rh satan..
ic majesty, as is usual in such cases, •
Was fairly overreached in hinbargain
for the wizard cuninglysowed all the .
land in the first year with wheat and
planted it with potatoes the second,
so that - the devil got nothing for his
shaie but wheat stubble and potato • .
tops ; and this scourging rotation Sir'
Michael continued, until' he had not
only beggard his partner, but
-haustedAhe soil. In spite of his le
gend, however, we must continue to
give credit to Sir Walter Raleigh for
having &len the introducer of pota- -
Atka into this.. country..- IThe first
