Her dress was tidy, her apron white; Her face was sweet as the morning light. She was a country village maid, Learning a country milliner's trade, Her bands were soft, her dress was clean, And little she knew what care might mean. She said, "I'll work at my pretty trade, And live a happy free old tuald." "Lovers may come and lovers may go. I'll have none or them , no, no, no r' But la Suitor came with a tall silk bat; He told her a story worth two of that. The same old story by lovers told Since first the earth out of chaos rolled.

"No longer then wilt you have to go To your daily labor through heat and snow. 'lt shall be my pleasure, my law, my life, To make you a blest and happy wife. "Marry me and you shall never know A sorrow or hardship, a care or woe f' She heard the story of promised bliss,- She waited, wavered, and answered, "Yes." Bright and big was the honeymoon, .And clouded by worldly care too soon ; For house-work led her its weary round— Her feet were tethered, her hands were bound. And children came with their small de mands Fettering closer her burdened hands. In her husband's house she came to be A servant in all but salary. And half her nights—as up and down She walked the floor in a dressing gown, Hushing an ailing infant's screams, . Lest it should break its father's streams; And wash the dishes and rub the knives— The lofty mission of duteous wives ; Or coaxed and doctored a sobbing child By the pangs of ear-ache driven wild— Were seasons of wakeful, nervous dread. So if at last o'er her aching head, The angel of slumber chanced to stoop, lie brought her visions of mumps or croup • And she rose unrested, and went once more Through the dun routine of the day before. Weeic by week did she drudge and toil And stew and pickle, and roast and boil, And scrub and iron, and sweep and cook, Her only reading, a recipe book; And bathe the children sad brush their lacks, ' Button their aprons and pin their frocks.

Season by season, year by year, Did she tenor , the round of "womanly sphere"— Not vexing her husband's days or nights By any mention of woman's rights.

"I shall prize it highly, George, and the more from the fact that you wear one half while I wear the other." "But will you wear it always, un4er all eireumitanues?" "A I wAys, under all circumstances."she repeated merrily. He neatly severed the narrow, thin cross, and fastened one Potion to hie watch chain and the other to the piece of narrow velvet Maggie had brought, and that' he tied for her around her white throat. "I like it better than a ring. George." she said shyly; 'because every body knows who is engaged, by just looking at their left. hand." "As if I .wotirdn t like every- soul in Meadowside to know that I bad won you, my shy, brown-eyed darling. lam only too proud and too harpy."

It will be the mote token of my misery." But Maggie smiled up in his face cheerfully. "If,all the misery you ever anticipate cornea by means of this little measure," and she laid her hand lightly on the glic terintrinket, "rest assured you'll have little of it. But, sir Knight, suppose you weary of my colors—what then ?" He.folded her tightly in his arms and kissed her. "As if I ever could change ?" So the two, in that blissful, painful parting, that seemed ages to them,renew ed their vows. The old, old story, yet ever new, The cheerful rays of the astral lamp on the ronnd.crimson covered tuble,beam. ed over Maggie Carroll's white fingers, and flashed like a spark of liquid silver or. her tiny thimble and polished needle, as her fingers flew gracefully over her work. She had cleared away the tea dishes, and her parents had gone to a friends. Little Bessie lay sleeping on the lounge with the light shaded from her eyes, and Maggie, with a garment she was making for one of the bridal outfits, had settled happily, cosily down to her evenings work, thinking with every stitch she set of George Wayland, by this time way out in Omaha, where .he would gain a gooid many hundred dollars in putting the ma chinery in a new mill—money that would start them nicely at housekeeping. slng,,gre's pleasant reverie was disturbed by an impatient `rap on the sitting room door, followed, before she could unfasten her work from her knee, and go to the door and open it,hy Ned Morrison. "Don't get up, Maggie, I can find a chair fnr myself. I've been here often enough to make myself•at home, haven't I ? for all f don't appear to be particular ly wen te d." Mit ,, gie's cheek *flamed at the insinna• ted want of hospitalay, but she very pleas antly arose and placed a chair near the fire. "Oh, no. Ned ; you only imagine we don't want to se ya,2. Sit down. An't you cold ? Mother anileuther arc gone—" "I doa't care where they are gone. I came to Bee you, and none but yon." .`!Well, Ned, here I am for ion to Fee." He drew hie chair awav from the fire, and near the table where 'Maggie Eat. S'e was determined not to lot her an noyances escape her, so - she assumed from the first a friendly, cheery tone. And it molitied Ned as she intended it would. -I was a little rough on the old folks, Ilagie; Lint the truth is. since—since-- you an d that Waymmt such frienJs, I see precious little of you anvww." doggie couNl have bitten her tongue to prevent the blush she felt surging over her tune. "I would naturally see more of my be trothed hnsband than merely a friend.— Ned. pleese hand me the scissors," She did not lift her eyes,but cliped her thread silently, and went on sewing while Ned toyed with the scissors moodily. Ft- D aly, almost abruptly, be spoke : "TO get oat and leave von in peace, Maggie, if yon'll give me one of your curls to remember you by." Maggie smiled indulgently, secretly thankful at such a cheap release. —You may have any curl you want, Ned, in welcome. Only you must not take it as a pledge of banishment, Ned." Am.) now Maggie laid down her sewing. and looked into his moody, half scorned face, "I wish for your sake it had been as you so desire. But as it is not, as lam so content, let it all be forgotten. Which curl will you have ?" She leaned her head toward him coquettishly ; and he awkwardly. tremblingly, cut one off close to her neck ; so close, the cold steel made her start. The moment he had severed it he drew due n the scissors, thrust the curl in his pocket ii a wad, ar.d arose from his chair. "I said I'd go. Good by. Maggie." Almost before Maggie could recover from her surprise at his wild. abrupt way he was off. his footsteps ringing loud on the frozen ground. His eyes were brighter than nsnal, and his face fairly worh,ed with exultation as he drew the •tangled black curl from his pocket. and with it a band of black vel vet, to which a tiny, plain gold cross was attached. Little did my lady know I cut the vel pet with the curl, and only begged the hair that I might secure the cross. Little did the lovers—coree 'em—know I over heard their sugar candy romance about the token of the cross. But if George Wayland don't get this back before I'm a week older, it be strange. Trust either of them for an explanation ; they're too plagney proud. And Maggie went on sewing for anoth er hour in bhsafnll unconsciousness of the loss of her treasure. Afterward she and Bessie had a game of romps befor e Bessie finally went to bed; and still later at half-past nine, she and her brother Ben went down to the last mail to see if there was a letter from George. It was not until she hat. retired to her own room, and stood before herdress'ng glass to arrange her hair for the night. that she missed it, and then she missed it at the very Brat glance in the glass. It was dawn stairs, of course, on the floor, where it had fallen when she and Bessie had their game of Mu; or, 01 sup pose she had lost it on the street on the way to the post-office I It was very prob able, very. and when site had crept softly downstairs, lamp in hand, and thorough. ly searched the sitting.scan in vain, she knew it was really lost in the street.— What would. George say of her careless bests? How could the velvet have come untied ? and with little fit of crying, over her loss, Maggie went to bed and dreamed of watEng ankle , deep through gold crosses. George Wayland, on his way borne' from a hard, day's work. stopped in the post.office In the far of Western pity for ! the long delayed letter from Maggie Cann' It had been s fortnight naw s aince be. bad received the lit, wed* worried sort of Devoted to the Interests of our Town "and County. feeling took possession of him at the de lay. Was Maggie ill ? away from home—or —George hated himself for the ugly thought that more than once flitted un-_ bidden across his mind—Morrison's heir ship to a lonx,disputed estate, that Mag ginould hafechanged her mind ? Yea, it was barely possible, and that was all, George decided; an when the mail was at last opened, and the rush at the boxes were lessened somewhat, and George ac.' tually saw there was ono for him, he felt it was very impossible. But he shook with surprise and sick with fear to see Ned Morrison's hand writing. What was the news in the seal ed envelope ? He toreit rudely open, and, wrapped in a tissue paper, dropped in his trembling bands—Maggie'a gold cross ! Not a word; only this mate sign—the very token he had suggested! How con temptuous the blank piece of paper seem ed to him, and how unutterably mocking did his name, in Ned Morrison's hand writing appear. So, net only possilje or probable that Maggie nuld throw him over, but actual ly undeniably the fact, that she had done so: And he away out West, with but one friend—his companion in labor. Mag gio's cousin Jim—and stinting to save money for Maggie, and working day and night for ber sake. 0 T. was it any wonder he gnashed his teeth in a rage of grief ? He crushed his letter into hie pocket and drew his cap down over his eyes and strode on, dumb from the blow never seeing, never hearing Jim Carrot, who had got a letter from home, and having read it . was wait ing to deliver messages to George. .What can ail this man ?" thought Jim, with wonder, and s arted after, nod stepped on some little, hard object as he put his foot down. He stopped and pick ed up the little golden cross. "George has lost it off his watch chain I suppose." He nut it in his pocket and went on, intending to overtake Wayland and give him his lost trinket. But, by dint of fast walking, maybe, George was on of sight. And on the morrow one of the hands gave him a pencil note from Way land. "I've u Itttle business to attena to for. th.r down for a week or so. Keep things going on. Back soon as I can. G. W." Then, when Jim started off on his day's work, it suddenly occurred to him that, as George would be'away probably more than a week. he would send his cross home to Maggie for cafe keeping. He knocked around so among the machinery that it might get broken or lost, and he knew George prig. tt highly.. So—the fates willed that he had an 5 b cr..40 a_uto -heETII - UStlt into an envel ope lying on George's desk, already (Wm ted to 31 , 10g,ie, and sent it on •ita ill nmened message all unconscious of the misch'ef he was brewing by the act. • •s ' • The long winter had passed away—some bow or other, but Maggie Carroll hardly knew now. It was enough tor ber that she had been very wretched and unutter ably miserable since a day months past, when, wituout a word of warning, she had received from George Wayland the cross he had solemnly sworn to always wear for her sake. Ned Morrison, too, had seemed so de lighted when he learned—how such piti ful facts do leak out—that it was all over with Maggie and George, and full of pomposity and self importance over his inheritance, had tormented Maggie half crazy to accept him. - And now, when even his dull head had been made to know it was impossible, and lie had transferred his attentions and af fections to Amy Harrow, he was to be married, and George Wayland and Jim Carroll were coming home on the same n'ght. Now it was sundown, and - in an hour they would meet, for George was obliged to see Maggie's father on business nt the earliest moment. And eo she dressed in the self-same suit she had worn that night George had tied the velvet around her neck, a dark, scarlet-silk dress, and in a painful memory of that dear past, fasten ed the cross in its old place. George Wayland should see she had kept her word if he had not. She would let him know that though carelessness lost her's still she would be true to him no matter how false he was to her. And so, when her father called her down from her room, she went with slow, listless foot steps, and wildly throbing 'heart that would not be still, to meet the man she loved so- dearly, the man who had o T ased to regard her almost us soon as tie was out of her presence. She had heard his voice so round, and full, and so sweet to her hungry ears, be fore the door stood ajar. "Ned Morrison to be married to.nightto little Amy Har rows! Why 1 thought—" and that very moment Maggie walked quietly in, her face pule as death, her blue eyes burning like stars. "George, I'm glad to see you. How do you do ?" • She extended her hand and looked him frankly in the fan , . And why .shoutd she not ? Maggie had naturally supposed that he would have been perfectly cave. less, utterly indifferent, and here he was actually trembling like a man with the ague. Had he been conscious smitten at sight of her loyalty flaunted so openly in the very face of his treachery? "•Yes Mag. gie was deciding. , tit was the cross that made—"and then GOorgie's voice. this. time low, intense, - addressed her : . "Maggie can you explain away this sickening mystery ? I find to my titter demonstration, that Ned is to be married, and not to vou. And yet the cross, came to me in hiihand_writing." All over Hag,gie's face flamed the red surges. Her lost treasnre found by Ned Morrison. and sent—oh,so. malicious!— to Geneve Wayland. And. then a giddy, blinding rush * of happiness almost ohok ed her. "0, George I I lest it somehow:sorne• where. ..I never knew. Do you think really,' could. have been. so—so—" Her tears,: walling - thick and feats al most choked her "But this cross, Maggie, that you have on ?" "It came in a blank letter one day, two or three weeks afterl lost mine, and 1 sui posed you wanted to get rid of me, you know what you said." ' - Wayland looked thunder struck. "I have mine this moment. I have been true as steel. See r He threw back his over coat ; there was the tiny cross attached to his watch chain, "Oh George r' "Maggie my owl darling r , It was utterly i comprehensible to them but they loved each other, and what did they care ? The evening, when all the family, with the -two guests, were sitting around the tire,Jim Carrot asked Maggie it she ever received the little gold cross he sent her, and then it was plain as sunshine, al though none of them never knew of Ned Morrison's theft, nor in their new bliasfni happiness did they care. A California Story. —o-- In the early days in California there stood at the foot of the hill, not many miles from Nevada, one of those rough built gambling houses so common throughout the mining sections of the, territory. A description of this structure and its surroundings will convey to the reader a better idea of the incident I am about to relate. The building contained but one room, the entrance to which was situated at one end, with a large adobe fi.e to the entrance. On the large stone hearth burned a wood fire, giving to the room a cheerfull appearance. On the front, at the tight of the entrance, was a well filled bar, around which wascongre gated representitives of different nations some speculating on the success of verb . - ons mining speculations, while others were discussing the general topics-of the day. Along the rear side of the room ex tended a row of tables around each of which was seated a company of miners playing poker and taking large sums of gold with as much coolness and apparegt unconcern as they were partaking, of their evening meal. A rude seat occupied the space around the fire•place, and.in the front portion of the room beyond the bar The cabins of the settlers extended some distance to the front of the spot, while the unsettled portion of the country lay in the rear. The bill before mentioned rising ab ruptly from this,thickly interspersed with sage bush and thick -bushes, affording a temporary hiding place for fugitives. As the evening wore on, the patrons of the saloon became more numerous, while the chilliness of 'the atmosphere caused those most interested in the games at the table to gather round the ere. The conversa tion, whim' ••• .h. tylift was becoming an imated, was suddenly interupted by, the eta, once of a tall, raw-boned Yankee bearingin his hand a rifle, around his watst• he wore a belt, from which was suspended a powder flask and bullet pouch. Advancing to the fire-place, he depos ited his in the corner, and after ac cepting the seat courteously offered him by the fire, resting one elbow on his knee, and dropping his chin into his hand, he sat gloomily watching the fire as if some mighty grief was preying npoa him. He mumbled incoherently at times' and sat without changing his position. The atten tion of the company was called to the stranger, and all occasional glances from those at the table were directed to where he sat. -He at length broke oat into such lamentation as these: "I am tired of life. My claim has failed, and I am without friends or money. I have been out all day hunting and hare killed nothing:" He addressed no one personally. And no one seemed to sympathize with him in his disturhecl condition. He eat In si lence a few minutes, then raising his head ho exclaimed : "A man may as well be dead as out of luck. I will take me own life.' Then taking from his side the flask, he•l unscrewed the cap from the top, and pour , d from it into his hand some appal ent ly fine Hazard powder, then pouring it earefully back iie replaced the cap, and screwed it firmly on, yelled— " Yes I will die myself, and all around me shall die also." He then flung the flask upon the burn ing coals. The tumult that followed was indescribable. The rush for the door was almost simultaneous with the rash act of the stranger. The Yankee satja calm spectator till the last occupant of the room had made his last exist, then with the rapidity of lightning he sprang to the ta bles and scraping from them the shining piles of gold which had been kit by the gamblers and deposited them in his hat, escaping through one of the rear windows ' With desperate strides he ascended to the hill, jumping noon a fallen tree, turning to survey the multitude below'. All were waiting hreathlesaly, watching the buil ding, expecting every moment that the contents of the heated flask would blow it to atr me, when the shrill voice of our ha ro rang out on the clear night air—, "Dint be afraid, gentlemen. There is nothing bat black eand in the can," Then springing from his perch,. he die appered among the chaparral, completely eluaing the persuit of the gambleri who ret ;toed to the saloon to find the tables all cleared of the last 'vestige of their treasure. A- lazy dyspeptic was bewailing his own misfortune, and congratulating his friend on his healthy appearance. "What do you do to make yourself so strong and hearty ?" inquired the dyspeptic. • . "Live on fruit-alone,' answered the friend. - - 4 1 Whatitind of fruit ?" "The fruit of industry, and I am never troubled with indigestion," "Farewell, Susan. 7 you have driven ma to the grave," .wrote ,rohn 'Arch. of, Ala bama, four years ago, and left the note. on the river bank.
