Sunday last wat a beautiful day over
head and, many of our male aod female
citlzent tool advantage of It to stteloh their
gs,taad to breath tbe fresh and exhilarating
air or tbe mountains into their lungs, and
lo think by themselves, as we all like to do
sometimes, over old timet and old friends
tbt past, the. present, and the future,
that stretch ber arms befor u out into
infinity. Among these seeker alter health,
happloeet and pleasure la the tolltudfs
or nature, were a trio whom we will oall Bob
Hunter, Jessie Out, and Hiss Lizzie
Heckatborn, Sealed upon a massive mon
arch or tbe forest, on McCrsy Hill, neer
John Waddeil'a water pipe line, that had
given way before tbe winds or high heaven,
and lay prostrate .upon Ibe earth from
whence it atarled, were these beauties.
Bob la a Una looking fellow, and. judging
from tbe dime novel be twirled with such
elegant grace between bla attenuated fin
gers, something of a book worm. lie Is
broad and massive in front, and square bull1
behind, with a natural and easy gait.
Clute la narrow and contracted across tbe
chest, slightly stoop shouldered, and wheez
es a ailie woeu pe ure.iuce, luuiuatinK
consumptives turn of mind. Hit physique
is much below tbe mediocre of men, bis
feet, lo hugeness, ant of all proportion to
bis body, and bis movements generally
awkward and ungainly, with a sinister look
log mug that would not be naturally Invlt
Ing to a stranger. Between Ibem on the loK
log, sat tbo almost Iranspareut Lizzie
child say, over whose chaste and classic
brew twenty win ten bas coma and g DO
and left ber in tbe apring time of matt red
maidbood. In lorm, however, nature, t bo
at a general thing does ber woik well, ai do
a mistake, bungled ber job, and cast Li. zle
in tbe wrong moulds for grace and beei ty
of lorm. But what teemed to us a del oti
'0 tbe eyes of our heroes, Bob and Joojie
was all harmony, eleganoe, grace and di
vioity itself. So there is no accounting lor
taste, for she went sweet an Bob, and Bob
he went sweet on ber Ibe sun, as if lo
recognition of'tbe tenderness existing be
tweea these dear ecu Is, abone sweet the
birds sang. sweet and the gentle winds did
sigh through Ibe leatlesa Irees, and make
sweet tad music in point of fact, all n.
ture was sweet except Ulute, and be, not
being io harmony with nature, waa sour
"So tbe sun's beat, wilb different powers
Ripens Ibe grape, tbe liquor soure.' '
From the rkdlaDt (ace of tbe maid, and
tbe blushes that came and went, tumbllog
over ber countenance like the shadows ol
April clouds that play bide and go to seek
between tbe sun aud waving fluids of greeu
it was not bard to surmise that r Bob, my
boy, bad Ibe ribbons lo Lizzie's nllVctlona-
and Ibat bla gushing word and ptoteula
tloo of devout love, waa telling on this
this maid forlorn like Ibe south winds
"That breathe upon a bank of violets.
Stealing and giving oder. "
But Ibis was not lo last always. Two Is
oompany, Ibree la none. Clute, whose bair
was nicely parted in tbe middle, and neatly
scolloped down over the "dome of thought
bad origioally coraledjtbe maid, and or right
claimed some jurisdiction in tbe premises
Ha ssw with alarm, Ibe rapid atridea which
Bob was making toward carrying off bis
adorable aud be consequently showed bis
teelb, and bristled up on Bob. But tbe
maid deolded In Bob's favor, and the last
seen of Ibem Bob and the maid Ibey
were Dicing tbem Into tbo depth ol tbe
wilderness, breaking brush as they went.

An exchange aays: Cejdwelt seelng tbe

Like tbe youth of some other places tbe
Pittsburg, (Mass.) boys to the number o
fifty or sixty, rush out of evening as soon
as tbe lieuediotion is pronounced, and stand
ready to offer their company to their oppo
sites of tba other sex a Ibey come out.
One of these young bloods waa about giving
bis arm to tbe girl of bischolce.a few nights
ago when ber lalbr,wlio hasn't a bit ofro
mance in bis soul, but a mighty lot ofvlgor in
dis moscie, stepped up, and taking in tha
situation al a glance grasped the youth by
bis coat Collar.lifled blm about a yard clear
of tbe ground, and nearly shook blm out ol
bistrowsers. Tbe young man bas been sby
or that girl ever since. He says "it isn't
safe lo be baogin' round a girl whose father

Wben deeply in love with Miss Emily Pryne
I vowed if the lady would only be mine
I would always endeavor to please her
She blusbed ber cousent, tbougb the stuter

Sbe said never a word except "your an

An ass ass ass sss -Idipu. teaser!" ,
But when we were married, I found to my
ruth
Tbe stammering lass bad spoken tbe truth:
For often In obvious dudgeon,
She'd say, if I ventured lo give a jog
In tbe way of reproof "You're a dog

A dog dog dog dogmatic curmud
geon." 1
And once wben I taid "We can hardly aH
ford
This extravagant style with our moderate
board."
Aod hinted wa ought lo be wiser.
Sbe looked I assure you exceedingly blur.
And fitfully cried. "You'er a Jew Jew
Jew A very ju dicloua adviser."
And wben it happened that, wishing
to shirk fSS
Some rather unpleasant and arduous work
I begged ber 10 go lo a neighbor,
Sbe wanted lo know why I made tuob a
fust
And saucily said "You're a ouss tuts
cuss
You were always a cuss 'lomed lo la

Out of terapw at last with the tasolen1
dame
And feeling the women was greatly to blam
To scold me Instead ol oareseiou.

.From telegrams received tbls furenoom we
learn that Oil City it nearly aulmirgedwi b
water. The All.otio and Great Western
Railroad Is almost three teet under water at
oiue point, and fears are entertained tba1
Ibe entire city will be flooded.
We notice by a plaoard stuck up on tbe
Egbert Farm bridge, that It bas been aW
olared unsafe by our warlby County Com
missioners, which means, we snppote, that
shouid tbe bridge happen to go dowo wblle
any person or learn was crossing, tbe coun
ty would not be liable for the damage to
person or properly. At present the bridge
is In a daogerons condition and it Is well
enough for tbe publio to be warned of it. .
We understand tbe Commissioners intend to
commence tbe work of rebuilding thejbridge
at once aa soon as tbe water in tbe creek
subsides.
