'It's too ?jtrBTitin?, 83 it is.
Dear me 1 I wiih I never forgot any
thing,' paid Alice Kildare, with an
impatient frown upon ber winsome
'o, not for mercy' sake don't
wiihthat, child! Don't wish yoa
tever forgot anything, for then you'd
.r.ra har to remember all the dia-
agreeable tbiaga that ever happened

.I.w Kcitr as it is. If we never

to carry down to onr graves the t'iv

above all. of evt rj time in cr lives
whori we've made fools of ourselves.
You will find that it', too much to be
thankful lr if you can f jret the oc
casion on w hich you've njade a fool
of yourwlf, when you cons e to I e

Alice Kilire laughed.,
'Not much like be.D; an old mai,
is it, seventeen, and already eo aged

"We!!, I was eaggA al sixteen,
and have been eoimged three times
in mv life, and vet here I am, an old

about roe the rest of my life, if I had
to remember it all. P n'( w;eb you
never forgot any thinp, Alice. ' Oo the
contrary, tbask Heaven, we do forget

Again Alice Kildare laughed.
She and I ere goicg to have onr

'I can tell Tours without locking

her bright, ppnuky, ringing laugh,
and then clapped on ber gypsy bat
and went with ber friend Sue to fee

tvho wrote poetry aud had an ..Ejlean
Larp in one window and a rose ger
anium in the other, and mc ant to go
into the literary line as Boon as be
was done college, lie was very much
in love, and Alice was oh! dread
fully ia love, bot that didn't at all
prevent this truthful young lady from
flirting; with half a dozen other men
all at once, and telliug no end of
white lies about ber engagement.
She was exceedingly attractive, but
not o pretty as she was bright,
pMjuaDt end fpiri'ed. , At ibis very
time, when f-bc ' lay awake ni?bt

Worst t-f all ehe had allowed Turn

about ber lover, one which ehe knew
roust be false ; aud there she sat aud
listened to it without tbe faintest at

would ttink t?be was engaged if she
paid anvthing. I don : defend her,

V fbe lived to be a thousand years
old.
Well, what does the sibyl say ?'
asked Aunt Letie.
'She is a humbug,' said Alice, sav
agely, 'I'm sorry I went. It's real
B.ily and wrong to encourage such
wicked imposture besides.
This time Sue laughed.
The sibyl didn't Bay Alice was to
be married, end so she thicks tbe si
byl a humbug,' paid Sue. 'We went
into a darkened room, iud in one cor
ner there sat a little ghostly, , waxy
looking old woman, with great, hoi
low black eyes. "
She bad a irlasa globe of water be
fore ber on e little stand. Tbe water
had been magnetized, she said, and
she, being a clairvoyant, was able
by ber second Bight, to see in the
water beautiful picture,' and visions
of events to come. 1 ------
Then she took Alice's hand and
pressed it against ber forehead, and
began to w ink aud roll op ber great,
bollow eyes in an awful manner. It
was really scary, Aont Letie. By-and-by
she bobbed ber bead about
and mumbled something, 'and still'
with ler eyes rolled back and half
Ehut, she began looking into the do be
of mssaetued water. Then presently
Bhe opened her ghostly looking lips,
and eaid, in a sort of sing-song:
'Jly child, I see pictures of your
future spread here and there before
my inward ryes like a moving pano
rama. I see lovers; yon will cave
plenty lovers, bnt I Bee no pictures of
a wedding. Strange! there ia no

cause it is bo iim, and in it yon stand

see, they are children around you,
and yon are greatly changed, taller,
pa'er and thinner, but there is no
wedding, no wedding. Tbe water is
not clear to-day ; yot mast come
again. Mercy ! what is this? II ere
is a great crowd, they are making a
noise, and looking at two men
young lady, the two men are fighting,
and heavens! the water turns red ;
t is blood, blood! But I ee no wed

ding!' 'She looked so weird and dreadful,
Aont Letie, that I was afraid to let
fcer tell my fortune after that. She
told os to eometigain, when tbe wa
ter was clearer ; and tben we came
away, and Alice has been cross as a
bear ever since. Bot I'm sure I
wouldn't go back again for any
thing. , . . " ;
Wberenpoa, and finally, Anct Letie'
bad berlaugb.
'What did I teil you, Alice? Didn't
I ear yoa were to be an old maid ?
It waa fore-ordained by tbe fates.
Only, Alice, let me..reoest cne thing

Aunt Letie, who likes to tease peo
p'c, laughed again.
It was the season of peaches and
melons, the roasting season when idle
people hunt cool places and devout
people bold camp meetinge. Alice
went to a camp meeting with her
father, mother, and Aunt Letitia. Is
there anybody here, I wonder, who
doesn't know what a camp meeting
ia like ? If there is, let her go to one
and find out for herself.
1 ather and mother eat up among
tbe worshippers, and close to the
preacher's platform ; Aont Letie sat
half way back in the congregation,
like one who was doubtful in ber
mind as yet whether to separate her
self from" tie world er not, while gid-
dy-pated Alice didn't pretend' to sit
amonjr the congregation at all, but
bovered away back on the ex reme
borders, where tbe preacher's voi-e
could be scarcely beard at all. Their
position in the camp meeting audi
ence was an exact barometer of tbe
devotional ttatea of theoe excellent
people, namely, father aud mother,
A out Leti.ia, Alice. In point of fact,
tbe young people on the outermoi-t
borders of that devout ai-st'mbly were
flirting with all their uiiirt.t If
you've never been to a camp lueeiiuit
1 dou i miod telling you 'bat is
mostly what youog people go to camp
meetings for. Alice Esmeralda Ki1-
dare was dining with Tom Creigbton.
Her betrothed, the hliui, baodr-ome,
ioog-baired student, comiog borne to
mcrrow. 'When tbe cat's awav the mice
will play, and the moue will play
till the very last minute before tba
cat comes.jrTfce bad remarked, to
herfcelf, alrt admired ber bright,
brunette face in the glass that morn
ing. So si e ski upon one of tbe rude
wooden benches uuder a tree, aud let
Tom Creighton talk 8fi uonseose in
hall whispers to ber. Was all ibis
wicked, of a Sunday, at camp meet-
ioff ?
Yes: certaiuly it was: but two
thirds of tbe young people about
theru were bebaviug in tbe some
wieked manner. Suddenly Tom
Creigbtoo's soft, lazy voiee ceased,
and Alice lot ktd op presently, to
see wbv. Si e could hardly keep
down a cry, as she saw epproacbiug
them, ber own uatrotbed, tbe slim,
baad-ooie student, who bad been
(roue a whole year. Somehow she
felt dreadfully guilty as she caugbt
his bright gray eyes. It was such
fun to flirt, but dear me !
Tbe blim student passed ber, with
a cold bow. His mother was on bH
right arm, aud be led her ti a seat
up among the devout people around
tbe preacher's platform. Alice's
heart beat a little qceerly, and Tom
Creighton watched her keenlv. It
wasn't pleasant, and Alice hated uo
pleasant things. Suddenly her bs
trotbed came back toward them
lie bad eeuted bis mother and left
ber. He touched his hat to Alice
'I beg pardon, MisKildare, but I
wish to ak you something ia pres
ence of this person. I may not have
the opportunity again. I mav not see
you again soon, indeed.'
He took a paper from bis pocket
and enfolded it.
'Head that, if you please,' said the
f-hai student to Alts Alice, whi by
this time was braiiiiiiGir to be ci'D
Kcii-us of a powerful icciiuation to run
away.
The paper contained an exct copy
of the hlatideroaa sta'etnents which
Alice bad allowed Tm Criitrbnin
iu n-iMii tn tier concerning ner oe
trotbed. '1 only wiVb to koow,' esid tbe slim
stuleot, with simple dignity, 'wheth
er von allotted this person to teil
you tbe stuff tbat is on tbat paper ?'
Alice did not answer.
She wanted worse than ever to run
away, but to save ber life she could
not have gone past tbat wrathful gray
eye, which was fixed on her like a
"eiae-gun.
'A Very short answer is sufficient.
Yes or no, Miss Kildare ?'
'I wou't tell you,' said Alice, piot-
ing 'Do you think you can make
me do aoytbiug I won't do?'
'I beg your prd to, said tbe slim
studeiit, with icy politeness. 'I would
not for the world ask you to do any
thing w hich is disagreeable to you.
Allow me to wieh you ga ;d morn-
ing'
But as be strode away and left
-beiu, Alice didn't like tbe looks ot
Lim. CouKnquendy abe flirted hard
er than ever.
During tbe dinner recess, after
Tom Creighton bad gone away aud
left Alice, suddenly there arose a ter
rible roar and rumpus in tbe edge of
tbe woods.
Then there war a pistol shot, and
the next moment were heard cries of
Txizo fight !' 'Murder!' Part
'cm !
HJive it to him little one!'
Tbo6e who rushed to the quarter
whence tbe cries came saw a blender
man, all bloody, and f taming like a
wild beast, madly beating and pound
In? a big fellow who waa tryiog fuitb
fully to shield himself from the blows,
which were raining down upon him.
And before they could bo separated
tbe slim student bad beaten Tom
Creighton half to death.
And good enough for him,' said
everybody . who aaw tbe encounter.
'But whw'd bare cbcught that a slim
fellow wbi wrote poetry could do
if?'
It seems the two rivau bad met
somewhere ia the grove. Angry
w ords bad parsed between tbem, and
at last Tom Creichtjn, who seemed
to bo in a constant terror lest tSj
other would 'pitch into him,' the beys
said, suddenly drew bis pistol, wua
out a moment's warning, and x-
claiming, 'Don't you come near mt !'
bred at the tutu student.
Tbe blood streamed from tbo young
man's arm, and he fell to the groond
wounded, stonned. Tom Creighton
turned to run away, but bad not ta
ken three steps before tbe. slim stu
dent, who wrote poetry, was upon
bim.
lie sprang up, covered with blood,
and leaped madly forward, with a
rear like a lion.
I'll kill you !'
He was in a fair w ay to do it, too,
wounded though be was, when the
camp police appeared and arrested
both young mco, in tbe name of tbe
onVnded majestv of tbe law. A wick
ed newspaper said tbe next day that
tbe prize-figbtr rs bad a larger and
more enthusiastic audience than tbe
minister.
Tbat evening this not was pat into
tbe bands of naughty Alice Kildare,
who bad caused all this trouble
'I return you your troth. It is no
thing to me now. I know now, that
women ar incapable of steady truth
and faithfulness. I suppose God
made tbem bo. But I do not know
why it was ordained tbat a man shall
poor out all bis soul, all bis manhood
and early hopes at a woman's feet,
and for compensation have only the
satif-raction ot Knowing be is a fool
I shall not return to college, and vou
will not see me again. 'But I hoe
joa will always betappy.'- 1
Alice took the letter np stairs with
her and cried all niffht over it la
the'morning she bathed ber red eyes
very carefully, and looked tt berseit
narrowly in the glass, as she combed
out ber dark locks.
'And bo I am to be an old maid f jr
all time,' she said soberly.
That ia tbe romance of one camp
meeting. .' ...

'Ob, botheration!' remarked Sam,
with a prodigious yawn and a look ot
unmistakable boredom.

He arose and slowly stretched him-

ently came back, baviug reluctantly
made the required change of raiment.
But the wristbands were uubuttoned,
and tbe collar and bosom bockiuly
crumpled. His cousin eyed bim dis
contentedly. 'See the man, now,' she said. 'And
that beautiful bonom, too, looks as if

'Cousin Mary, let's start ., to camp-
meeting.'
At tbe camp ground, Sim Harring
ton and little Mrs. Ucrty sat am og
the devout part of tbe congregation,
and listened to the sermon like old
Llks.
When it ""as over and tbey bad all
left the wooden beuches, a tall pale
lady with lustrous black eyes, and
dark, wavy hair, stood up facing tbem.
An aged lady with silvery hair, and
sweet placid face leaned on the oth
er's arm, and the younger lady care
fully supported ber feeble 6tep3.
'That's widow and her mo:her,'
whimpered Sam's cousin. 'Isn't she

Sam looked.
The fine, delicate face was tbe least
bit faded and tired looking, but not a
bit soured or gloomy." It waa a dear
true face Goe, strong and pure,' like
steel or siik, or something of that
soil Little Mrs. (Jerty caugbt tbe
scbool-mistress's baud.
'Widow !' bhe said, 'this is Cousin
Sam Harrington, a rich, alovenly old
bachelor. I wish you would take

Don't bort my arm so. What did

'Mr. Harrington aod 4 used to

ealnily, but witb aa indefinable look
in ber dark, softly fringed eyes. '1

meeting. 1 bar never seen bim f root
that day to this.' r J -,. - i - a
Tben ehe moved oa in a calm,
graceful way, with a little spot of
quivering sunshine glancing across
ber gray dress as she passed. And
the very first thing Sam Harrington
did was to look tbeepishly at his
dusty old boots, while bis face red-'
deced slowlv with the memory of an
old flame. He laid bis band noon
Mrs Gerty'8 arm.
Cousin Mary, yoa said awhile ago
that I used to be a poet aod an en
thusiast, witb bright bopes and great
aspirations, and it bad all i ended fn
my being a useless, slovenly old
bachelor, who cot rich at patent

why.

Then I'm sure you wronged her
more than ste wrontred yoa She is
tbe truest, best, brightest woman I
ever knew. I wonder if you are the
man she nearly broke her heart about,
long ago T I've heard a whisper of
tbat, I'm sure. Yoa were always hard
and unforgiving, Sam.'
Little Mrs. Gerty, romantic as a
girl, watched them narrowly. Were
tbe old flames kindling into life again?
Sometimes Mrs. Gerty thoogbt tbey
bad died entirely from tbe heart ef
either. Sam Harrington began to
blacken his boots aud buiton bis
wristbands. -
One summer moonlight evening,
Alice Kildare sat in tbe porcb of the
little cottage in which ebe lived with

Tbe Chicago Time has gathered ex
baur-tive reports from tbo several
gram growing regions, ooe ot its
mammoth pages buiug devoted to ibe
reports. From tbes-e we gather that
ibe general outlook is not of the best
drought aud fbriveled seed opera
ting against a full and abundant
yield. Thus in northern aud ceutral
Wisconsin the crops are suffering
greatly from drought, and nolens rain
speedily falls, tbe prospect h exceed
ingly gloomy. '
Tbe increase cf acreage ia Minnes
ota is estimated at 300,000 acres, but
tbe shriveled eecd sown on much
tbis ground, and Ibe plants are re
ported feeble and sickly. Ilains bave
fallen iu southern Minnesoto, and tbe
prospects there are more favorable.
Tbe same is true of southern and
western Wisconsin, where tbe acre
age of wheat bas been- increased.
Iowa ebows a fair prospect. A con
sideraoie increase io acreage is re
ported and recent rains have partial
ly dispelled fears of drought. Nebras
ka is io about tbe same situation in
all respects as Iowa. Dakota shows
an increased acreage, and favorable
prospects.
In the spring wheat States the
acreage is increased, but tbe chances
are not so bright as could be desired.
Poor seed aod tbe lack of rain are
tbe causes. If abundant rains should
fall, all trouble from tbo causes men
tioned would be at an end.
Tbe winter wbeat prospect in tbe
belt of tbe middle States are good.
Tbe acreage is increased, and there
is need of more rain, but the general
ou'.look is better than ia tbe spring
wheat region. The supply of wiuter
wheat, however, does not compare
with the other, and hence taking the
two, the preseut prospect is not more
than of average fairness.

and ammnnition, bas aboard two
magnificent Arabian horses, the prop

Turkey. One ia a dapple gray and
is named "Tbe Panther, "or in . Turk

Ben Hi li. is slow to grasp tbe
great truth tbat il is always danger
ous business for a Democrat to stir

always sore to tarn np with the
Democratic tag to it, which makes it
onpleasant for ike digger. '

A half a century ago, a large por
tion of the people if tbe United States
lived to houses ui painted, un plaster
ed, and utterly devoid of adornment.
A weil fed fire iatbe yawning chasm
of a buge chimney gave partial
warmth to a single room, and it was
a common remaik bp t. inmates
were roatticg ol mc ride, while
freezing on tbe other j in contrast, a
majority of the people of tbe older
States now liv in bouses that
are clapboarded, painted, blinded and
are comfortably armed. Tben, tbe
bousebold turuitute consisted of a
few chairs, a plaia table, a bedstead
made by tbe village carpenter. Car

Almost all our beat bardy flowers.
are natives ot woods, or low, undis

leaven from the trees or tbfl wash

and it bas been found Uy e wri-
ment that nothing iasj good for ihe-e i
pretty little Uowers as well decayed
leaf mold from the woods, spread
round tbe root stocks just above the

had, aay other well decayed vegeta
ble refuse that may "be lying around

Strong, rich manure bara yard ma

A corref-peodeut of the Poultry
v i ....
era recommends tne following
method for making perches fur
fowls:,,.
Make a trough for the roosts by
nailing lath on both edges of a piece
of scantling or board three inches
wide, projecting upwards balf ao
inch or more. Fill tbis trough witb
mortar, into which bas been pat to 1
pail of mortar balf a pound of sul
phur, J pint of crude carbolic acid,
and I pint of kerotene. If yoa want
tbe mortar to set quickly, add llbol
calcined plaster, sucb as dentists use
for casts. Mix thoroughly. Tbe mor
tar can be knocked out easily, aud
removed once or twice a year. Have
your roosts loose, so tbey may be
turned over bottom side up ia very
cold weather, to guard against freez
ing the fowls' feet by contact witb
tbe cold mortar.
Poultrymen will Gad tbis much
more effective than patent eggs, kc.
as the whole flock tit on tbe roost 10
or 12 boors every day, instead of a
part of tbem a few minutes, when
they are layiog. Tbe above is neith
er expensive nor troublesome to make,
and should be used by everybody
wbo keeps fowls. !
T Farmer.
Ho-w many farmers bare ' ever ta
ken the trouble to make a careful es
timate of tbe amount of unutilized
and on their farms ? Tbere may be
several acres cverjrrown witb brush
and each year be coming more diffi
cult to clear offend putia productive
condition, or tbere is considerable
area from which the timber bas been
removed but which bas not been
suitably (Cleared cf the brush and le
sulting rubbish. It is left to preduce
berry bushes, and a great variety of
weens, until the soil is so abundantly
supplied with tbe enemies to profita
ble culture tbat it will require years
of patient toil to eradicate or subdue
them. Tbere are on many farms
acres of valuable land rendered utter
ly worthless by permitting the water
fr. m springs to run over and leach
through it.
A e-mail outlay ia draining would
pat the land iu a productive condi
tion atd in niacy canes the spring I
water might be obveved to disiaul?
pasture fields, or tbe bouse O' ' boJU,
wbbie lie pteseuce would be worth
more than the cost of tbe improve

Much land is rendered almost
worthless by shade trees in fields
where they are not needed. Stomps
aud large etoues are left to encumber
the ground aud impede work. Lead
from wbieb aa early crop is taken is
permitted to lie unused for several
months when it ought to be produc
ing something.
Farmers are regarded as a very
ecouomical class, but tbere are many
lesaoos of economy to be learned ia
our farm mauagemeut, and - ouo of
tbem is to utilizs every acre and ev
ery rod of oar farms to the best pos
