' "I beg vour pardon, ma'am. Are j vo i in trouble Can Ile of service j to vou ." , , Then the girl looked up, and Hol lister recognized thp daugter of a man who had leen at the inn for several weeks a man whom the driver had no hesitation in classing as an adventurer and a blackleg. He had pi:ied the girl on that night when he had first seen her when he Lad brought them out from the citv ; for she seemed a lady with her quiet wavs and her wistful eyes, and not at all fitted for a life of Bo hemianism, such as her father was leadineher. . She looked up, and meeting the expression of kindliness in Frank Hollistcr's clear gray eyes, she struggled a moment for self-control, and then burst into tears. Frank squared his broad shoul ders before her iu order to screen her from the curious gaze of any one who might pass through the hall and waited in Eilcnce, Presently the girl raised her head once more, looked at him with tear stained eyes, and said, with quivering lips : "I am in trouble, sir. Yours are the onlv friendly words I have heard to-dav. Mv father" here a crimson flush dyed her fair brow "mv father has left me ; where he has gone I do not know. I am ab solutely alone among strangers, and our bill here is unpaid." For one iDstant Frank looked at her doubtfully, and then, with a sudden rush of self-shame and chiv alry, his hand went into his breast pocket and drew therefrom a big leather book. The girl made an indignant ges ture and looked at him with wide opened, haughty eyes. "Sir ! I scarcely expec ted such an insult" Whereupon Frank began a hur ried indignant repudiation of her in sinuation. He insult a woman? He had the dearest mother and the sweetest little sister in the world, away off there in Eastern States, praving for him ! P'raps I ain't so , .dainty in my choice of words, as I might be, lady. I am a rough fellow at the best ; but I m dreadful soft-hearted where a woman is concerned. If you choose to look on me as a friend and a straight man one that never goes back on his word, you shant be disapjtoiiited. Now then how -an 1 serve you ?" The big j)ocket-look had disap peared and the girl's face softened at his rough gallantry. She extended tme little hand frankly "Forgive me, sir ; 1 know that you :ire all you seem. I cannot accept any jccuniary aid from you or any one. llie landlord has offered me a situation as table girl. I shall ac cept it and in that way pay our in dfbtedness. Thanks lor your kind ness. 1 shall not forget it." With a little flirting Ftnile she slipped pat him and went swiftly up the dark stairway, while the.dri ver proceeded to the bar-room, where the men were talking, laughing, smoking and drinking. Here Hollister listened to a de tailed account of the disappearance of Colonel Pressy, interspersed with various comments concerning Lira and his daughter Cora. Pressy was stigmatized as a cheat, a villain, and a sponge anything and everything they called him but an honest man. There were some expressions of sympathy cirl. but it was casv to see for the j she was not liked. Miss Pressy had held herself too far aloof from every one in the house to win the approbation of this free and easy western com munity. One lout'sh-looking fellow lean ing against the bnr rail, remarked, with a sneering in : 'That gal's a mighty stuck up little critter reck on she won't put on any more airs with me !" and he sent a stream of tobacco juice in a very skillful man ner straight into the mouth of a spittoon which occupied the of the room. centre j Hollister. who had been a silent listenei until now, crossed leisurely to this marksman, and, fclriking j him a light Mow upon the shoul-j ller, said, evevnly and distinctly: i "liook here. Jerry, vou don t want to talk any more like that about Miss Pressy." "(Join' to marry her, Frank?" "I except to," replied Frank cool ly, as he turned to select a cigar from the case. There were no more insinuations against Cora Pressy in his hearing. The daughter of an unknown ad venturer, no matter Low thorough a lady h'e might seem, and the sweetheart of the jolly, keen-eyed, Mrong-armed stage driver, were two different persons, and when the lonely girl entered upon her new duties the next day she was sur prised at the kindnes and consider ation of all about her. Frank did not try to weaken the impression his words Lad made. He knew that it would be her Bur st protection ; now that her natural protector Lad deserted Ler. Two or three eventful days went by, Cora filling Ler new situation with satisfactory promptness. Ev ery night, on the arrival of Hollis ters 6tage, she was left to wait upon him in the dining room. She felt an instinctive confidence in this big, blunt, sun-burned fellow. There was a bond of sympathy growing between them which she had no desire to break. rtna Air' lirnntw niiti drum Lis vc ., ...... - - ' t - route, Frank heard a bit of news ' not where measles was in the bill . f which worked him into a fever of j fare, but where sciaUca rheumatis n impatience.

Then I-rank went into lonr lininz-roon. and atin2 Lim- iieaa in accejiianw i-i and went away. Half an hour later she was tacked jn a trim little cutter beside him, dashing over the white moonni road, and anxiously waiting for him to reveal the matter of importance at which he had hinted. But Frank was curiously silent for a long while. It seemed to Co ra that he would never 6peak. At last, with a 6udden effort, he said : "Miss Cora, vou've known me only a few days, but you've seen enough of me to know that I aam blunt-spoken fellow, so I hope you won't be upset by what I am going to pay. I am not much of a gentleman, but I haven't any very bad habits, and make a fair living, and and well, I want a wife, little gal, and I love you. If you'll have me I'll do ray prettiest to make you the happiest woman in tV.e country." Cora smiled up at liiai through tear filled eyes, and this gave him courage to slip one arm back of the cutter and draw her closer to his side. She murmured s fwething about being almost a stranger to him ; but Frank growing wonderfully bold, pressed with his lipsthe lids over the drl's dark eyes and queried : "Do you love any other man ?" "No she answered honestly enough ''I believe you are the best man I ever knew." Whereupon Frank kissed her again, upon the lips this time, and made a second proposition, to which, at first, she would not listen. But the will and energy of her earnest hearted wooer carried the day, and the result was a call upon a juEtice of the peace ; and when they re-entered the inn that night the girl was Cora Pressy no longer, but Cora Hollister, and Frank's face was ra diant and triumphant. In the dingy waiting-room an ex cited crowd was gathered. Frank endeavored to hurry his wife past the doorway, but her quick glance caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. "Father !" she cried, and stepped into the room. "Yes, there he was, haggard and disheveled, with bloodshot eyes and unshaven face. He might have been fine-looking once. There was just the ghost of a debonair an about him still, despite his wretchedness. An officer guarded him on either side. "What has hed'ne," cried Com, with pallid lips. Some one in the crowd answered brutally enough : "Killed a brother gambler twenty miles back. They are taking him through to the city." Then the jKxir little wife went in to a dead faint, in her husband's arms, and he carried her up stairs with his brown check against her white one. All night he watched beside her while she went from one detthly swoon into another. At last in the gray moraine she smiled sadly into her husband's eyes and whispered : "Do not be troubled. I will go away." "Not if I can help it," answered Frank with a grim net of the under lip. Then all at once he put his head down on the pillow beside her and began to cry like a two-year-old baby. With her slender Land she stroked the man's big curly head, and talked to him in a sweet, weary way that went straight to his warm heart. "Dear friend." she said, "I know Low unselfish you are, but I will not allow you to make such a sacrifice. You shall not share my shame." "Look here, little woman, I knew all about this yesterday morning ; that's why 1 was in such a rush to get married. I knew they would bring Colonel l'ressy through here, and 1 knew if I did not make suie of you then, that I should never get j you.

Judge Fullerton, of New York, bos a firm in Fairfax county, Va., on which he raises no other cattle, of which he has about one hundred head, probably unsurpassed by any other heard in this country. Prof. Sheldon gives the following history of tho introduction of the Holsteins: "The race of large, improved black and white cattle, known in America as llolstein cattle, are animals, im ported from North Holland, or the neighboring provinces, Having been selected there with the greatest care in reference to puritv of blood and the fine qualities of each individual animal. Previous to. and sometime after ISTl.Mr Winthrop W. Chenery, of Belmont, Mass., was the principal, if not the only, importer of Holstein cattle for purpose of improvement. In March, 1881, about ten persons to whom Mr. Chenery had previ ously supplied one or more Holstein animals each, at bis suggestion uni ted with him in an association called the Association of Thoroughbred Holstein Cattle, with a constitution and by laws, and a register of all the pure-blooded animals of their race owned by them. The principal ob tects of their association was, and is, to keep and preserve a register of such animals known to be of pure blood, and of their progeny, includ ing future importations. At that time the persons uniting in the association knew of no name by which this race of cattle were gener ally known in Holland and the neigh boring provinces. They had been usually called 'Dutch' or 'Holstein' by Mr. Chenery and his associates. In 1SG4 Mr. Chenery was requested by the Department of Agriculture at Washington to contribute rn article upon the cattle in question, for pub lication in the commissioner's report. The paper was prepared and forward ed to the department, with the title of 'Dutch Cattle.'In due time the ar ticle appeared in the commissioner's report with title changed from 'Dutch' to 'Holstein cattle.' This circum stance, together with the fact that no other name more appropriate could be suggested, decided the question of names, and 'Holstein was adopted Since then the association has in creased its membership to include about fifty persons. It has publish ed four volumes of the Holstein Herd-book, and has the manuscript prepared for the fifth volume, about six hundred thirty bulls and about eleyu hundred and twenty cows, distributed among more than three hundred owners residing in nearly all the states of the United States (the larger herds being in Massachu setts, New York and Illinois) are registered. Large additions to the number of Holstein cattle in the United States are being made by im portation, as well as by the natural increase. They are easily acclima ted and grow as large as in their na tive country. Thedescendents of an imals imported by Mr. Chenery fif teen yea re ago are equally as fine as the best selection made in Holland this year. The bulls are gentle and docile, and excellent workers in the yoke. The cows are large milkers, excelling in that respect all other breeds. They are easily fattened, and males often attain a weight of two or three thousand pounds, females generally ranging from twelve to twenty hundred pounds. There is a considerable demand for both males and females for breeding purposes, enough to take up all the importations, amounting to more than four hundred in 1ST'.), and the natural increase,at prices affording a reasonable profit lnitii to importers, breeders. It is a noticeable fact that half-breed heifers, sirvl by Holstein bulls, generally bring twice and often three times as much ns the erades of any other breed will sell for; and this fact is perhaps the most reliable indication of the estimation in which Holstein cattle are held by American farmers who have had ex perience with them.

Little Eock, Ark., March Id Arkansas City was visited by a ter rific storm late Wednesday night j A special says two houses in the north end of the town, belonging to Major John D. Adams, and occu pied by negroes, were blown down. None of the inmates were injured. A house situated near the Arkansas City Hotel, occupied by two negro families, was lifted from its founda tions and was sent floating with the current in the back water. At con siderable risk, Captain D. O. Hem ingway, managed to reach.the im prisoned inmates and conveyed them to a place of temporary safety. The city calaboose was blown from its foundations, and this morning floated on the water. Several other house were injured by the storm. Aa nmwxl Taath. During the. iiUer half of the thirUwnui century after Christ the foundation of the Dalada Aiaiagawa (.Temple of the Tooth was laid, and lue edilice on completion, became the depository of thai too in which is toe Mired relic ol Buddnum and palladium of Ceylon. It fcUil con tains, in a costly enrine, tae tooth before vrnicft nundredd of devotees bow di . and make odenngs daily. Buddha died B. C. 543 years, and wnen his body was being cremated a priest snatched one ot nia canine teetn from tne flumes. He convey ed it in accordance with on ancient prophecy, to what is kuowa as Ca linxapaum, on tlie northwestern coasi oi the Bay ot Bengal, where for several centuries it was regarded with great veneration. But, Dually, a prince of the province became iu dinerent to the relic and neglected Lo mate the usual offering.-.. . L'uOelievers immediately cast it into a pit of burnuig charcoal. To tne astoiiistiuieiit and ciiagrui of its enemies, nay the ttuddinsts, the tooth resisted the flames and re mained unscatched, emitting in the meantime rays ot light, which as cended to theekies, illuminating the whole universe. Being then buned in the earth and trodden down by elephants, it mocked such futile ef forts and released itself by springing from the soil in the centre ot a lotus flower, which circumstance is now commemorated by its forming the centre of a golden lotus blossom in the temple of Kandy. Being plac ed on an anvil and a ponderous hammer raised for its destruction, the relic sank into the iron and re mained safely preserved from the eff ects of the blow. The demons then declared that the tooth must be one of their own gods', as a relic from any other source could not possibly work such miracles, and the King therefore di rected them to prevail on the god to whom it belonged to remove it from its close imbedment ' in the anvil. This, after various in cautations, they failed to do, where upon the relic was handed over to the Buddhists, to prove the truth ot their faith in its connection, a feat which they accomplished in a trice by making an offering to Gawtama Buddha, who not only relieved his much persecuted member from the iron, but caused it to spread such effulgence about the place that all the unbelievers present were con verted. The Portuguese are said to have destroyed the tooth in 1500, and the story goes that the present cuspid is an artificial one, but the Budd hists have firm faith in it Major Forbes relates that the relic is a piece of discolored ivory nearly two inches long,7slightly curved, and one inch in diameter at the base, tapering oif to a blunt end, and if not a pure artificial production it probably is the canine tooth of some carnivorous animal. It is kept in a square, hermetically closed apartment, near the centre of the temple, the doors being secured by heavy padlocked bars, it rests in side of six silver gilt caskets, one outside of the other in succession, on a silver table, surrounded by rich silk hangings. A tattle Sparrow' l'aitli. The railroad station is not intend ed as a lodging house, yet it has a lodger e ery night. This little lod ger is an English sparrow. OpjH site a large lamp at the corner of the building, up in the outer corner of the awning, on the inside, is a round hole an inch and a half or two inches across, partially through the board, put there for no one knows what. Into this hole each and every night may be seen this spar row snuggled closely away, protect ed on all sides from the cold winds, safe from cold and harm, and ap parently sleeping. The numerous trains that come and go, the crowds of people that gather at the depot with every train, the scream of the whistles, the ringing of the engine lells, the rattle of the wheels over the rails none of them disturb him in the least The glare of that lamp full into ifs resting place, or the gaze of curious eyes all the night until midnight, cause no sign of perturbation in its peaceful little breast He may be watched stead ily for hours and won't wink. He knows he is safe there, and he at tends to his own business strictly, letting the outside world take care of itself. In the day-time he is away, getting his living, but one among hundreds of sparrows hop ping about and picking up what ever they may find, buj at night he perches himself in bis resting place, as if there was not another sparrow in the world, and ere he falls asleep looks ilmly down on the busy scene low, perhaps with a meas ure of ontempt for the rush and bustle and care of humanity. He did have a nest there, but when the awning was painted the ruthless hand of improvement destroyed the nest However, his love of locality is strong, and he sticks to his old home, putting up with less comfort able accommodations for the sake of remaining there. I'runinjj Shrubs. The Gardner's MontMy gives in substance the following good prac tical directions for pruning orna- mentd shrubs on the approach of Spring : Indiscriminate cutting back will not answer the desired purpose. Distinction must be made between slow and vigorous growers, and between those which bear flow ers on old wood and those which flower on new growth. Such as grow too strong to flower well should be lightly pruned ; and in the same mdivmal the weakest shoots should be cut in more severely than the stronger ones. , Lilacs and the Phil- adelphus bear flowers on the wood of last year, and to prune them much now destroys the flowering; while the Altheas and others which j flower on the young wood cannot J be t(o severely cut in.

We all know that there are quite a number of expensive machines that average fanners find it convenieit to ice. that can be used only a few d.nr m a year. In this class belong J.fie reaper, binder and mower, the gram drill, corn planter, threshing machine, and haV rake. These are the most ex pensive, and as a ru!e,Juro only used by each individual farmer for a few days at a time once a year ; and taking them together they are costly, and to keep them all entails a heavy expense upon every farmer. In the case of threshing machines, the steam machinery has to a great extent settled the question in favor of Lirinz, but in the case of drills and reapers, the question is Btill open. The one great benefit of be ing able to get your own work done when you wan; it done, is a very strong argument for the hirer to overcome. A majority of farmers are ready to sow wheat at the same time, and do not care to wait, when a few more days delay may give a change of weather, when the larmer may be forced to be a weefc or ten days later than he would have liked. What is true of drilling wheat is true of planting corn. When the proper time arrives, every go-ahead farmer wants to plant, and does not want to wait when often a few days delay may prove the main cause of the entire failure of the crop. And with cutting wheat we meet the same difficulty. Wheat should be cut at a certain stage of ripeness to make the best yield and the heavi est grain, and can only cut earlier or later at a serious loss more than most farmers care to risk. As a rule farmers who own machines al ways insist on securing their own crops first, in sowing or planting their own grain first and then he may be willing to Lire Lis machin ery out to any one of his neighbors who apply. I htrVe always held the opinion that with the class of farm ers which owns or rents smau iarms that owning macrinery in partner ship is much the most economical ; but where an extensive farm is car ried on, taking all things into consid eration, the ownership of whatever machinery can be profitably and economically used, is much more economical than running the risk in curred by hiring. In many cases three or four farmers may own an interest in a self-binder, and by ex changing work, reduce the cost of harvesting a crop of wheat or oats to a minium, and run very little if any risk of loss from delay in cut ting at the proper time, and moie so with drills and planters, while on extensive farms the failure to cut at the proper time of one crop may be a loss of sufficient amount to cov er the cost of the machinery ; and the same rule applies to other ma chinery. The Haunted Car. Well's Fargo & Co.'s express car, No. 5, is said to be haunted. The messengers on the run between San Francisco and Ogden have been ex ercised over the fact for some time, and when the car was sent to Sacra mento several weeks ago to be over hauled and repaired, they all ex pressed much satisfaction, and were firm in the belief that th car-build er would kill the ghost and return the car to Ithe rail tree from all demoralizing influences. In this they were disappointed, for the mes senger who left San Francisco Tues day night was visited by the un seen power and put to a deal of trouble. The ghost came n and tumbled the boxes of freight about, tolled bells, and made sweet music, and called the messenger by name. The last trip the car made before it was taken from the track, the mes senger heard strange noises on the roof. His thoughts were on his du ty, and he came to the conclusion that robbers were awaiting an op portunity for entering the car. He cautiously opened the door and took a look at both ends, but found ev erything quiet. He could see no thin unusual and returned, closed the door and was walking back to the mailing-table when down came a box of cooked shrimps and a band box. The freight was ranted about and finally left in the same place. 1 he mysterious din was indulged in until the train Mas neariug Terrace station, in the eastern part of the state, and the messenger had about made up his mind to take to . the suge-brush, when all was still again. On one occasion when they had a corpse in transit, the head and trunk of a man's body was seen to rise up from the casket, take a look around the car, calling the messen ger by name, and then vanish. The car was in the train several years ago when an accident occurred jurt west of Truekee, killing Conductor Marshall and an express messenger, and since that time tlu luysteri- ous noises havd . heen fri-mie-nt. much to the discomfiture of tne oc cupanta. The express boys say ear iNo. o is known to all the company s employes, and they all tell the same story lor the truth. A IMajful Hone. A citizen who has been casting around for a family horse for some weeks past, was yesterday induced to take a ride behind an animal which was for sale. The horse started off with a jerk which made things crack, and the citizen called out: - "What do you call that?" "That's only his playful way," replied the owner. '"He'll settle down in a minute." While a "settlement" was being looked for the horse - made three or four lunges and tried to run, and the citizen exclaimed : "Is that playfulness, too?" "Oh, yes," was the reply. "Hang tight to the buggy and don't be afraid." The horse eased down a bit for the next few rods, but suddenly started up the street on a dead run, kicking in the dash-board as a warn ing of what was coming. "You don't call that playfuli.ess, do you ?" cried the citizen as Lis hair began to liftliis hat off. "N-o not exactly 1". grunted the other, r s he pulled on the lines.

Hornberger, a brake man, aged 23. got one of his feet fas tened in a switch at the Wt yard early this morning, and before it could be extricated he was run over by a shifting engine and instantly killed. A newspaper once contained on advertisement for a man to fill a cer tain position, which concluded with "No discouraged man need apply. There was deep, worldly wisdom in this for discouragement is a terrible drawback in fighting life's battle. The discouraged man is defeated in advance. . He carries failure above with him ; he faints when he needs most to be strong; he falters where decision is most needed ; he halts where he ought to hurry forward ; he cannot stand up under the strain and burden of the race. It is hard that it should be so harder still that so little real sympathy is felt for discouragement. The world does not need euch a man, and has little mercy for him ; and so he falls into the ranks of the unsuccessful, while be of right hope, who is yet new in the struggle, who has not sup ped the bittef cup of disappointment and found out that all is'vanity and vexation, strides before him and is accepted where the much tried man fails. There is something conta gious in a buoyant, happy, energetic spirit, which carries those who come in contact with it away, and success is as often the result of this strong animal force as of perseverance and continued effort All the experience in the world will not carry the man of deep discouragement successfully through an enterprise.

Since Monday cases of small-pox have been developed in twenty-one fami- lines in addition to the twenty-nine families reported up to noon on that day. There are now, it is stat ed by the physicians, about one hundred invividual cases within the borough limits and a few in the suberbs. At a joint meeting Mon day night of town council, school board and health board vigorous measures for checking the disease were ordered and were put in force yesterday. Persons working in the iron mill in whose families small pox exists are not allowed to re turn to work after visiting their homes. A rumor prevailed yester day that Lehigh University had been closed, by order of the faculty. It had its origin, no doubt, in the fact that a number of students, at their request, had been allowed to leave South Bethlehem and secure other quarters, on account of the proximity uf the disease.
