You treniblo each hour because your arms
Are weak; your heart Is wrunjj with alarms.
And sore oppreat ;

Tom Luttrell,
aijed
was a thoroughly -cood
ftllow. rood
tempered, good-looking, and heir to a
irood uroiiertv but had one
sorrow
he was engaged to n girl he had
! er seen.
nev-
I Some ten
vears before a dispute
j had arised about a certain Hilling
i don estate, in Leicestershire, to which
j.Mr. Luttrcll Tom's father and a
j certain
Carnwarth Leigh both laid
! claim. Litigation seemed inevitable,
and the legal Iracteruity began to
prick up its cars, when one moruing
Mr. Luttrcll received the following
note:
"Dear Luttrcll: You and I have!
been good friends all our lives, a:id
there is no man living for whom I i
have greater cfcteem than yourself. :
Cannot wu, then, settle this wretch
ed business without troubling these ;
infernal lawyers? My uncle, Haugh
ton Leigh, had a suit thht lasted Lyn !
twenty rears aiid killed him in the'
end. Now, listen to me ; my daugh
ter Nellie will have all I've got at
my death, except Barfield, which will
go to Jack's boy. Why shouldn't
she marry your boy Tom ? Let the
projmrty alone for the next ten years;
then Nellie will be eighteen and Tom
four-and-twenty if they like to mar-j
ry then, well and good; if either)
should decline to carry out the ar-;
raiigenit iit, let the property go to the
other. " I
"This is a rur;h idea of my plan,
which Jaekson.yoiir lawyer could soon
putiuto Lapc. What do you say?
Yours, Ac, Corn wort It Leigh, Bar
field."
To this proposition, Mr. Luttrcll
agreed, ami Tom found himself an
engaged luuri at fourteen. Soon aft
er tbia Mr. Licjrb was obliged to
leave for bis health ; and for many
rears he rcr-ided on the Connecticut.
So it bapM'tied that Iuiu and bis
future bride had uever met.
About a month before the; time
fued for his decii-ion. Tom betook
himsell to a Mnall inn in the village
of Setth burn, near Stockford, nomi
nally to fish, but in reality to escape
from his father's arguments and to
get a little time to luniseir lor quiet j
reflection. while he solaced his wretch-
ed soul with tobacco
One day as he lay lazily smoking
bv the silver Beck, something fell
from a high bank above him and
dropped into the water, while a girl's
voice exclaimed:
"Oh, my gracious, my hat !".
Tom looked and saw a very neat
little hat floting, boat-like, down the
stream.
"Bother the young woman," hc
grumbled, "I suppose, now, she'll ex
pect me to fetch it."
Ashe arose, he looked up to the
spot from which the voice had pro
ceeded, and saw a girl whose beauty
surprised him. Sh stood bare-headed
on the bank, gazing with a look of
comic dismay after the fast receeding
hat, and Tom had an opportunity ol
examining critically, from the lit le
head, with its crisp, brown hair, dis
ordered bv the wind, to the slim an
kles which her position revealed as
she stood olxvc him. j
Running some yards down the I
bank, lie stepped out upon an old ,
willow, which protruded over the (
stream, and waited in the hope that
the current would bring the hat with
in his reach. He was not disap
pointed, and in a few minutes more
lie was again on Urra firvxa with

"I hope it s not much damaged,'

"I'm afraid the feather's in a bad

"Oh, it doesn't matter in the least,
thanks. How kind of you to take so
much trouble. But for you I must
have walked home bareheaded."
"I wouldn't put it on just vet,"
Tom said. "Let it lie in the sun a

"But suppose it starts off again,
when there's no one to recover it for

and, finally to instruct. He found
this girl very charming; she seemed
so delightfully free from all conven
tionality, without at all resembling
that btle noir, the "fast girl.',
They grew quite confidential ns:
the lesson proceeded, and were
amazed when, on consulting their

even more than her beauty, had fas

he thought; "she dressed better than

"Aye, and think it cheap at that
price."
"Complimentary to Miss Leigh.

'If vou like but never mind Miss

"My name?" she repeated; "O.

"But I do mind vour name. Won't

"Mv name's Nellie, too," she said,
musingly.
"Shall I call you Nellie then?" he
asked.
"Certainly not," she said coldly,
and recommenced painting, rigorous
ly. He was getting on too fast.
Tom watched her silently. "Won't
you forgiv me ?" hc pleaded after a
while.
"Shall I?" she said holding her
sketch at arm's length, to observe the
effect.
"Yes, do," said Tom; "it is so
Christian."
"Then I will," and she gave him
her hand witlfa most adorable smile.
Tom felt sadly inclined to kiss it but
refrained.
"Now," said she, consulting her
watch, "I must be off."
"And will you allow me to carry
your things ?" asked Tom.
But at this moment she was capri
cious, as ladies will be sometimes,
and positively refused to allow him to
do any such thing. Then arose a
struggle for the "things," which
were, however, captured by Tom,
after a short resistance.
She turned and walked majestieai
ly away as Tom gathered up the im
plements with a grin, and followed
her. When hc came up to her she
was sitting on the stile, looking dream
ily on the ground. She raised her
eyes as he approached.
"Mr. Luttrell," sho said. "I want
to speak to you seiiously."
Tom deposited his burden on the
ground, sat himself on a log facing
her, and waited solemnly.
"I want to know if you're quite de
termined to marry Miss Leigh?"
"lam," he replied, looking stead
ily at her, and tapping his teeth with
',pr pencil.
"Since when?" he hesitated.
"Since when ?" she repeated, im
periously. Tom began to dig little holes with
his stick.
"Well, within the last few days,"
he said at last.
If he Lad been looking at her, he
might have seen the smile and blush
of pleasure which lit up her face as
he spoke.
"You see,' he continued, "it's my
father's marriage, not mine; and a
man likes to choose his own wife. I
dare say there's no real harm in the
young person
"If she's your friend, itspeaks well
for her but still "
"15ut still what? You've never seen
her; how can you tell vou won't like

Tom became more than ever ab
sorbed in his excavations.
"The truth is." he blurted out be

they said adieu.

"Bring me something to eat here,

By the time be had finished his
lunch, his mind was made up. Se
lecting a hugely crested sheet of stiff
note-paper, so as to give the docu
ment an official character, he sat
down, squared his elbows, und com
menced to write.
! lhe following epistle was the re
sult of his efforts:
Mv Dear' Miss Leigh: For the
first "time I address you personally,
though you doubtless must hare been
tor some time aware of the link which
in some way conuects us. The time
has now arrived when our decision
must be made in regard to our fu
ture whether we shall go through
life together or separate at once and
forever. I will not conceal from you
dear Miss Leigh, that for some years
I have looked on you as mv destined
bride, and have considered myself
foitunate in the prospect of an alli
ance of whose beauty and goodness
I have heard so much. It is quite re
cently that I have discovered that my
heart is no longer mine to dispose of,
and I feel to urge yuu to fulfil our
engagement would be to insure a
life of misery for both of us. Let us,
theu, separate without a personal in
terview, which would only cause un
necessary embarrasnicnt. As to Hil
ington.I resign to you willingly, feel
ing sure you should make a better
mistress than I would a master.
I rusting, then, some dav to meet
you as the bride of some one more
worthy to possess you than myself,
I am my dear Miss Leigh, your sin
cere friend.

"That'll do, I think. I hope it
won't smell of tobacco, Simms," as
that worthy answered the bell: "take
this to Miss Leigh, with my comple
ments." Simms was too well trained to
show surprise at anything; he bowed
antl went. In ten minutes returned.
"Miss Leigh's compliments, sir.and
would you speak to her in the draw
ing room?"
"Oh, hang her!" said Tom but
there was no escape. The drawing
room was darkened to exclude the
afternoon sun, but Tom discovered a
white figure at the far end, which
rose and bowed as he advanced.
"I am delighted Miss Leigh," lie
began, "to have tho pleasure
Hulloa! Miss Harding! You here?"
"Miss who?" said the laughing
voice of his Settlebourne friend, "1

"Then who in the name of good
ness are you r" hc demanded eagerly.
She looked down demurely.
I m mat noma 3iis3 L-eigh, as
)ou called me the other day."
Tom sat down and stared at her ;
presently he broke into a great laugh.
"Oh, it's all very well to laugh,"
she said in an injured tone.
In a moment more lie was kneel
ing by her chair, looking up into her
eves.
".Miss Leigh Nellie "
"I told you not to call me Nellie,

"Yes, but yesterday isn't to-day;

L5ut Tom was not to be thus denied.
After this spirited resistance Miss
Leigh surrendered ignominiously.
"Tom," sho whispered, as her head
lay on his shoulder, "do you really
care for me ?"
"Then," and her voice sank lower

Mr. Harry Knack, of Wolcot, Ia.,
Ios fifty dollars in March, 1872, that
sum being stolen from him very mys
terioualv. He ami his wife are be
lievers in magic, and, being familiar
ly acquainted with students of the
black art in the neighborhood, invi
ted them to hold a seance at their
house to determine where the money
had gone. The name of the thief
could not be extracted from stones or
herbs, as was proved by experiment,
so a door-key and a Bible were pro
cured, and the key being placed be
tween the leaves of the Bible, it was
secured by cords bound around the
book, when the whole was held sus
pended by two of those present.while
a third called over the names of all
the people in the neighborhood. It
was expected that when the thief
was named the Bible would wreneh
itself from the key und fall. When
the name of Jacob Barker, a very
respectable citizen, was pronounced,
the charm operated, and the liook fell
with a crash, leaving the key still
suspended. The Knacks very prompt
ly called upon Mr. Barker for restitu
tion, hc as promptly declining to
make any, having none to make. His
disclaimer was not convincing, and
his neighbors made his cars burn by
their general circulation of remarks
affecting his character. At length
matters went so far that feeling that
hc must either leave the town where
he was no longer respected, or else
vindicate himself against the charges
so freely made ami so weekly sus
tained. Mr. Barker chose the latter
course, and brought suit against the
Knacks for defamation of character.
The case came to trial recently, and
the jury gave a verdict for the de
fendants thus virtually allowing that
in the magic revelation made to them
the Knack3 had sufficient ground for
their charges.
New JJcxIcw'a Capital.
With the exception of our neighbor,
Arizona, less is known of New Mex
ico by the world at large than any
other territory of the American union.
Strange as it may seem, yet it is nev
ertheless true, that the territorial leg
islature, which convened within the
past few days, has assembled in the
capital whose foundation was laid
nearly a century before the pilgrim
fathers landed on Plymouth Rock.
Still more strange is it that this build
ing, the "old palace," which is used
conjointly, by the executive, legisla
tive and judicial branches of the gov
ernment, war commenced as far back
as 1540; and still remains incomplete,
never having been finished. It is
one of tho many wonders of this re
mote inland country, and it is a some
what unsightly structure, despite its
name. It is constructed of adobe,
but still is a very substantial building.
It is proposed that during the coming
year it shall bo rc-mo deled and repair
ed. This will cost several thousand
dollars aa amount which is trifling
in the eyes of an enterprising Amer
iean. put which appears to be very
large to many of the "Greaser" or
half-bread Mexican population,
whoes ideas of liberality in behalf of
public improvments are extremely
contracted.
lioup Making-.
There is no way in which the
comfortable abundance of a table
may be hotter insured while at the
same time a strict eye kept upon
economical expenditure of means,
that by an almost daily addition of
soup to the family dinner. It is only
when concocted by an indifferent
cook that soup deserves the con
temptuous sobriquet of "slops" so
often applied to it.
It is surprising from what a scanty
allotment of material a dainty dish
of soup may be supplied. Let a r0ast

10 I arisian kitchens a closed vessel
containing "potmgc," ia ever at the
fireplace, awaiting anv an(l every
contribution the skillful grisette anon
supplies from the surplus of other
dishes in process of preparation.
In the first place, observe always
to lay your meat in the bottom of the
pan or pot, cutting the meat up, or
if a bone, cracking it well. A lump
of butter adds richness, bnt is not
necessary. Select such herbs and
vegetables as you prefer cut them up
very small and lay over the meat.with
a very little water and a cautiously
small piece of salt. Covr the vessel
with a close fitting lid and set it by a
slow Cre; this will draw out ail the
rirtueof herbs and roots, giving the
soup a different llavor from what is
imparted by putting the full quantity
of water in at first. Turn the meat
frequently. When the gravy pro
duced is almost dried up, fill your
pot with a sufficient quantity of water
to make soup enough for your family.
To a large shank-bone of beef three
quarts or even one gallon is not too
much to allow.
When your soup is done take it off
the fire to cool and skim thoroughly
from grease. Put it on again anil
be sure not to dish it up unless boil
ing hot. Be careful to add salt

McDonne and Lcuchan, of Dub
lin, have invented a machine which
performs the operations of rolling
sowing, and harrowing sirualtaneou--ly.
The roller is of wrought iron,
meted on cast-iron wheels, forming
a cylinder six feet in length by threo
feet ia diameter. Immediately above
the roller is a sowing aooaratus, bv
which the seed is rapidly delivered, a
star wheel of four points keeping the
conductor, in constant motion. As
the seed is strewn a harrow of four
rows of oblique teeth set in a central
axis turns up the earth over the seed.
The harrow is kept in motion by aa
endless chain or belt which passes
round the extreme end of the Iarg3
cylinder, and fits the groove of a smail
wheel at the corresponding end of
the harrow. Kvery time the large
ro'.ler turns over, the circular harrow
tnrns nearly five times, causing the
teeth to tear up the soil about twenty
times at each of the revolutions.
Meantime the seed-conductor anddis
ributor rises and falls twelve time
during each of these revolutions, and
there is a contrivance bv which the
cau 1
I regulated. A lever is also co
connected

A minister in a Massachusetts
town near the New. Hampshire line
whose salary is somewhat in arrears,
is reported to have astonished his
congregation on a recent Sunday by
saying to them from the pulpit: "Do
not, my dear hearers, delude your
selves with the idea that I am an
angel, for I am far from having arrived
at that blis.-ful state. If I were an
angel, I would fly away to heaven
anil get my dinner, and come back
and preach to 3'ou again; bnt as I am
yet only of the earth, earthv. I must
have something to eat, and in order
to do that I must have some money
to pay the bills.''
