THE FARMER'S STOltl'.. :

"ANY'S tho night, jwlieh i tlie( stars
11 L, wore in tho sky. I used 'to go out
to tho great pasturo where k tho shecji
browsed , nil , day, and Fit suil think
thoughts I had no words for, and make
beautiful pictures for myself in my mind
not fine ones, sir. This is what I sec tho
ofUuoU A liulo -ootUgo-tiud ii widu firo..
place, such as they had in.iny day, n
dresser with' it row of tlcljUl Vpon it, four
chairs, and !v tatiic''6f pliic. 'AVlieu I
had theso I was to marry I'eggy Grcy.-
liut when I should havo theni, nnd she
hud litf white wedding gown nnd the
house linen, neither of us knew.
"She put lidr "sixpences into "a reil "eaftli-"
em savings bank, and I kept mine in nn
old glove. , i For two years wd had been
waiting and hoping, and weroi.unt much
nearer than, at first., Hoiuotinios ' I., folt
down-hearted, iSonictiuics her little .lut
tors wcro a bit sad. And just as ,1 sat.
in the meadow I know she sat before tho
kitchen fire in tho house that tsho lived
at service. .Simple folks wc were, , Uit.
wc had hearts, and felt, perhaps, as deep
ly as greater folks might. ' ' . , ' j
3Ty master, tho fiu-iiicr, was ' a '' close
man. 116 squeezed as much work but of
his' hands' ns possible.! 1$ut it was a steady
place,' nnd he paid all Tic proijiiscd ; so Ir
staid, never thinking what! trouble staying
would bring 'to- nic trouble- that " never
would have cohio ' but for Mark ITulkor.'
A good-for-uothirtg fellow he Wnii, ti ' dis--grace
to the rest of us, and he 1 cheated
tho master hnd left his work undone. PO'
after hours, master set me ' at 1 his stinti
and it being indoor work, I kept at it nil
night.1! The old limn likod thntr and sot
mo a new task every night. All tho bet
tor for me; I thought ho would pay. mo
extra, nnd what was weariness to me, if
it only brought mo nearer my l'oggy
iSo I counted tho hours' work as so many
shillings. , Hut when. Saturday night
came ho gave me just my week's work,
" Master," said 1, I've , worked oyer
hours every night; you forgot that." i .
" I hire you by the week," he said.
i; I'll give you no more than one' weed's
wages. So, if you don't like it there arc
plenty of strong lads to be had, you are
growing lazy." Then ho turned his back
on mo, nnd Mark laughed. That anger
ed nie, aud words fell from my lips. We
had a quarrel, lmistor nnd I, aud I call
ed him a ."niggardly: qld rascal," und
with that ho dismissed me from his ser
vice. . , ;. ... , .
" At dawn, you go," said he. . .". You've
worked to-day. and havo a right to your
bed at night, but at dawn you go." , ,
I marched out of the room, with words
I never should have used, and up to my
garret and threw myself on my bed. 5ut
I did not mean' to stay to be' turned out.
At midnight, I rose softly, Inado up a
bundle, and climbed out of a window.
I cut my hands with the glass of a bro
ken pane, and blood dropped down upon
my clothes. ' liut I was too angry to ieol
the pain ; and I " bound up tho wound
with a handkerchief. ; Then I trudged on,
meaning to look for work next day. So
I did, but 1 found none. ,; Then the
thought struck mo to make . my way to
i , nnd seo l'cggy. It would bo a
comfort to, nio whatever came. , So I
turned my steps in that direction," nnd
kept on until night fell. Then, faint and
weary, I lay down under some bushes aud
feel asleep. ','"'"' ' '" " ; 1 '. ' "' 1
Out of that sleep I Was aroused by a
shout and a clutch of strong hands. Men
stood about me. One shouted my name
They held nie' fast and bound we. ' ! 1
I struggled, but it was of'tio use.'
Numbers were against my single strength.
"What are you? ' atobbers? .I've
nothing worth the taking,". I said, at last;
and when standing still, I saw faces I
knew about me those of the farm hands
at my old master's. ' ; i j,.,,. . :
" You know well, Jack Mulone," suid
one, " If ho did speak an ill-word at last.
he was a good man in the main, und
you'd worked for him three years, You
might have answered him as you liked,
but to try to murder him was too horri
ble. We didn't think it of you, Jack
we didn't think it.'", ; " ' ,:
Murdered!" I cried, "is' old master
murdered? ,"Vhy lay it to tne? I swear
I never hurt bini !" ' ""' ''
"If he is not quite "dead it's hone of
your fault," cried another man.' " iVra't
perjure yourself look nt the ' blood on
your clothes' ''" "! ' 1 '
The blood from my hand was 1 in clots
nnd smears all over my vest. I foel my
heart turn sick when I think of it. t
" Master will clear nie," I su'ul. . .
' lie says it was you," said one of the
men. " At least, he nodded i ys, when
we asked bim if you did it." 1 . i
" Then old master was not rigLt in hi
mind,", I said. " He'd never bo against
mo.", , , ,,, ;
'After that I heard the whole. Master
had paid the men and dismissed Murk.-r
lie had only suid "all right, I am tired
of work," aud bad eaten breakfast there,
and left in sight of alL liut I was gone;
and when they fouud , that master, who
was always up at cock-crow, found him
on the floor senseless they thought bim
dead at first. Ho bad been robbed of his
pocket-book, a watch, and an old-fashioned
pin he always wore' in his handker
chief the painted - head of ' u lady set
around with what be used to tell us were
pearls an oruauient old than his 'grand
j'uthcr. . ' ' : :
They found ' nothing nrotind , me, of
course, but tho 'riinrrel and my cnt hand
made tho caso hard against ' mo. ,j Tho
master dying ns they, thought him, hnd
been" adla to speak at odd times; and said
that', to tho best of his knowledge and bc
lief I was the nssailant.' It'fras dark, to'
be sure,' but in the struggle ho folt that
tho man woro u cap, nnd I was tho only
hand who had anything , but ,n straw. hat.
Besides ho camo from tho inner passage
and down (.lyi syi, sndlid, fitit bivoakju
through deov.. or ivfiadiA, ns' abirglar
would have done. And I was tho only
missing member of tho household. So I
lay in prison vfith; thif awful Jdinrg upofj
mo, until they knew whether master
would Ihrc or dre ynnd tny greatest grief
was for l'cggy, ,.,. . .:, .: ,!..,
" Keep it' from her," I .bogged them,
" until sho inust kuqw it.'! , .. . .
, And, they were kiuJ and did; and her,
letters were sent to, me in prison., It was
a weary time, and ho, one drop of com-,
fort in it, came with thos6 letters. I had,
had fivoTiom her whcti at the end of one
came this : ' ' '" ',' ' ;
Hear. Jack : -I, never hido anything
fi'om you, and I do not want , to boast of
livy, conquests', a thing I'd never do ; but
just to let you know I keep "no secrets
to myself, 1 must tell you what has hap
pened.' Our ' master has birod a man, a
lazy felW. that I disliked ,rit first sight,
Mark Ilulker by nailie; ahd ' what should
he do but take ir notloh ' fo nie, 1 or 'pi'C:
tend to do so, trying 'his best to sit up
with me after his work hours," nnd fol
lowing nid about wherever I go of n hol
iday. . 'J'licir he tries to make nie like
him by telling tno how rich' ho is:. " Four
hundred dollars' he has laid by, ' ho say,i,'
and a gold watch liko a gentleman. The
other -.Sunday I was dressed for churchi
mid up ha walks. ,, 'Why, l'cggy,' says he;
' You've no pin to your collar.' . Said 1,
' I can't afford money. for finery.' .Then
says he, 'Now, how .lucky it is that I've
ouo to give you,' and he pulls a pin from
his pocket. Jack, I couldn't help look
ing at it. Jt wasa lady's portrait, with
hair nil white though sho was young
like an old woman's. lie said it was
powered ns they done it in old times ; and
a pink dress and no bigger than a silver
quarter altogether. ' How ho came by
such it thing, goodness knows ! L'ut of
Cnursd I wouldn't have it. Says be'.:'
' Now do take it, Peggy, I want to keep
oompany with you, 'and now, you know
the truth.'' 'So says I:''' I want hotthcr
your company uor your presents,' nnd
plcaso reincniber thut hereafter.' ' It was
rough, I know, but I hato him so. : And
I was none too vudo, for he . bothers me
yetns- much us ever. - Though you know
if he wero ever so good nnd handsome, I
am your own l'cggy, und think of no ouo
else." , , ,, .. ',,,,., ! i ,,,
, WheD I road that, you could, havo
knocked me down ..with a feather.; Tho
pin was the onp the old farmer had lost,
and I knew it," and it was.' Mark, who was
the thief. 'nnd who hnd tried.. to murder
him. "' ;;'.-, ; , : '.
' I sent for the lawyer who was to tako
my side, und who had oil alon-j believed
mo innocent., I gave hini the letter,' :
' '" It's old'.niastcu's pin," I said, " What
shall I do, sir?" ' '' ""'; ' ,
" And he soid-1-" You tan .'dii" 'nothing,'
my poor fellow,' but" wait nnd; hope,' 1
have a clue now, and I'll follow it up."" "
' Then he went away, and afterwards I
heard what ho did.1 He wctit' to thd
place where Peggy' lived; ' and took her
out of tho dangers of the eaves-droppers,
and told her all that hnd happened. The
brave girl trembled and : wept, but 'she

Oxford, Maine, was better known in ' his
day. He was nn honest," pool-,' hard
working in air," and his only "failing-i-if
failing it could bo' called was the telling
of big stories,; I tun sure, however, that
in ono , respect r. his memory beconieflo:
warped that ho religiously believed i bis

owned. Let mo toll you about her. ,Sho
was a Maltec ong 'l' '.got 'of Charles
I'aker - and what that cuit, didn't know
wasn't "worth ' knowing'. Here's one
thing she did : ',' .
" In the spring of 'IG ' I moved' into
tho littlo old house down on the, Ci'ookr
cd river. Wd put' our provisions down
cellar, and the first - night wo made up
our beds on the ' floor.1- But wo ' didn't
sleep. No sooner had it como dark than
wo heard a tearin' and a sqneakin' in the
cellar that was awful. I lit n candlo nnd
went down. Jerusalem ! Talk about
rats ! I never saw such a sight in- ull my
born days !. Every inch of the cellar ; hot-'
torn was covered with 'em. . They ran up
onto me, and they run over inc. I jump
ed back into tho room and called tho cat.
She come down and looked. , I guoss she
sot there about ten minutes, lookin' , at.
theiu rats, and 1 was, waitin' to seo what
she would do. By'ui-by slip shook her
head,, arti turned about and went up
stairs.'.' She didn't care to tackle, 'cm. .
.'." That night, $ tell ye,' .there wasut
much sleep. In thd morning I called for
the cat,and eouldu't find her. She'd gone.
I guessed the rats had frightened her,
und to'tcll tho plain truth, I didn't much
wonder. '" Night camo again, and the old
cat hadn't shown herself. Says Betsy
Ann to mo says she ' Tim if that old
cat don't come back, we'll havo to leave
this -place, tho rats 1 '11 eat-'us up.'' I
didn't boliove she'd loft us for good and
all.. !; ' '. .- .'.
" Just as Uetsy Aim was ''put tin'' the
cnuurcn to bed, wo heard a scratehin and
a waulin' ut the outbids door. I went
and opened it, and there - stood mri old
1 Mal-M on the door-step, und behind her
a whole army of cats, all paraded as reg

X P' iivod a man who niado. horse-trade-lug

it city market, and was considered pretty
'good on a trado. . .'v;V
Ono day, a long. lean, queer, ' green
looking specimen of tho Western country-arrived
at the dock with n-boat-load
of horses. Ho inquired for tho horso-
'rDacliiy sent mo down with some
horses," he said, in n half idiotio tone.

' ;:" Let ma go' down nnd ' look ' at ' yOur
horses;" said Hrown, and accordingly1
they were soon at the boat. '. :)' . .
' Hrown examined the horses and, named
the price ho would give for this' ono nnd
the country bumbkin made no-objection,
although soiiio of tho offers woro not nny"
moro than one half thd real price of the
animal. One of the bystanders, gently
suggested to the grCeii " country ilinn . that
ho was being cheated, but ho returned

price himself,", and so ..Hrown had it all

to one, and; tho other went ou board the

only responded :
" Golly ! dad t old mo '- that" . lip '"could '

he wus such n tarnal fool ns to ' tell , me

HroWu's sleek racer W-ns brought down
and Hrown niountcd him.'. The country
man led ' out bis animal and 'climbed on
his back, looking as undouth ' and nwk-'

Tho word was given; nnd they started
amidst tho laughter of 'the crOwd. ''-'At
fii-st .Hrown was ahead and it looked as
though tho poor fellow was to bo badly
beaten, when suddenly his horse plunged
forward und the horse jockey was loft far
behind. Such going bad not been seen
