AT LAST. 'Don't you know rue?' said Mar tha Minkley. The Rev. Paul Blossom was dig ging up a bed of late peas, under the pink clouds of the apple bought?, with his straw hat tilted on the top of his head, his linen coat fluttering in the wind, and his brow beaded with prespiration. One little blossom was following at his heels with a toy rake, smooth ing down the lumps of fragrant earth ; a second was building hous es with oyster shells, in the angle of the garden wall, while two others were engaged in the wholesale man ufacture of mud pies, at the kitchen door step, all four dirty, happy and demoralized. Mr. Blossom looked hard at the trim figure, with hiB neat, cheap hat. black and and white cnecuea piaia shuwl and flounced alpaca dress. He was a little near sighted, a lit tle absent minded, and yet surely this sweet voiced, cherry cheeked woman was none of the sisters of his flork. v' Raid Mr. Blossom. 'I can't say that I do.' Miss Minkley smiled and colored a little. Try and think back,' Baid she, 'to the days of the Wesleyan Seminary, on Rose River, where we recited Ro man history in the same class, and old Dr. Dodge heard us in rhetoric and English literature, old Dr. Dodce who wore green spectacles and talk ed through his nose.' Mr. Blossom dropped his spade. 'It's Matty Minkley,' said he, ex citedly. 'Butdear me, how you've chang ed.' 'I haven't erown any younger, 1 sappoae,' said she, biting-tor lips. 'But that is a complaint common to us all.' 'Yes, I know I know,' admitted Paul, turning red to the verr roots of his hair as he realized what an awkward mistake he had made. 'Time doesn't spare any of us,' he said. And then feeling that he had not bettered matters, he made haste to ask: 'And how came you in Toppleton village?' 'My cousin's husband. Hiram Dodd, keeps hotel,' 6aid she smil- 'I've come to see about a situation as housekeeper for a gentleman that Mr. Dodd knows, for I'm not above earning my own living.' one spoke with a little luliness in her throat, for she had somehow cherished Paul Blossoms memory kindly 6ince those boy and girl days and now he had never even a.-ked her to come in. 'He might have introduced me to his wife, at least,' said she to herself. as she walked swiftly and lightly along the green path. 'That would t have been loo mucn for old acquaintance sake. 'But if lie chooses to iorgei out times. I can only lollow his exam ple.' '1 wouldn t have mougni u oi mm, thoug!-' ,. And the waving billows oi the dis tant apple orchard swam in the disks of two big tears, which momentarily obscured her bright, sparkling black eves. And Paul mechanically dug the pea bed up, planted the 'wrinkled marrowfats,' and went into the house, where his sister, a middle aged spinster of a care worn aspect and a very uncertain temper, was engaged in single combat with the children. 'I declare, Paul, she croaked, catching sight of her brother, 'them children are enough to try the pa tience of Job.' 'All washed clean this morning, and mended and darned and now look at 'em. Why, b. Gipsy gang couldn't be more discreditable in their appearance.' Air. lilossom loosed ieeiuy at me chubby, rosy, dirty flock. 'It never used to be so when Mary was alive,' said he. 'Well, and that s just what I am thinking about,' said she, tartly; and what I say every day in the week vou ought to marry again, Paul.' 'Yes,' said he, with a sigh, 'I sup pose I ought' And by some curious link ot ideas be thought of Martha Minklev, standing out there among the apple blossoms, with the delicate pink color on her cheeks and the old rougish sparkle in her jet black eyes. 'Certainly you ought,' said his sis ter, thinking of Hester Henderson, the village dress maker, who had money in the bank, which ought fairly to compensate for her Gorgon like severity of countenance. 'Some one of mature age and ripened judg ment' Ot course, ol course,' said the Rev. Paul. 'Who would benefit her position as a clergyman's wife, and keep your house for vou in a model manner, as it should be kept, she went on, and govern your children with dis cresion and mildness.' 'Yes. to be sure,' said Paul. I be set ESTABLISHED, 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 31, 1883. lieve I know the very person to real ize all these ideas.' 'So do I,' said his sister, oracular ly. 'And not a hundred miles away, either.' v- 'In this very village,' said Paul. 'Exactly,' nodded his delighted sister. . . ." ? 'It is certainly my duty,' said Paul Blossom. u 'And somehow upon this very day of all days, I feel moved to fulfill it' And he put on his best suit, and went straightway to the Eagle Hotel kept by one lienry Dodd and Elvi ra, his wife. 'Is Miss Minkley to be Been ?' he asked politely of Mrs. Dodd, who came from the kitchen with carmine cheeks and wiping her hands with a snowy roller toweL 'Oh, yes, I guess so,' she replied, Bmilina: and curtseying to the cler gyman. "Squire Tel wright has just been to see her but I'm pretty sure he's gone now.' ' 'Mat Matty, where are you ?' 'Oh, she's in the blue parlor.' 'Please to walk, in, Mr. Blossom And the clergyman walked sol emnly into the pretty blue carpeted room with its much, waxed mthog any chairs, gaudy rug, and stiffly starched muslin curtains, where she Bat knitting. 'Miss Minkley. said he, entering without unnecessary prelude to the subject which was at present absorb in i? Ins mind. 'We have known each other from childhood.' Yes.' And I believe you to be a devout Christian, a conscientious woman and a trood housekeeper.' 'I hope I am. said she, rather fluttered by this unusual address. 'In my home, said Paul Blossom, abruptly, 1 need all three.. And I believe rrovidence has put it into my head and heart to appeal tu vou at tuiu viiuia upjwi i-uuhj . Miss Minkley neither blushed, giggled nor burst into tears. She rocked back and forth, went composedly on with, the red worsted sock that she was kruttiug, and lined her black eyebrows just the least lit tle trifle. 'I'm verry 6orry,' she said. 'I only wish you had been a little earlier, but 1 m engaged already. 'Eneaeed ?' Paul Blossom's lower jaw fell ; he stood blankly looking at her. To squire 1 el wright, exclaimed the ladv. 'But he's sixty,' said he. 'He is not young,' she admitted 'Surely, surely, Martha' argued Paul, forgetting all formalities in his eauer interest, 'you qannot care for him ?' i N'-no,' said Martha, 'I can't say that I do. But he offers me a very eood home.' 'Is it possible. Martha,' said the good clergyman, reproachfully, 'that you can allow yourael! to be swayed by -considerations likthia?' 'One must do the beet they can for themselves.' 'Well, well,' sighed Mr. Blossom, 'it would be downright sinful to doubt that all is ordered for the best.' 'It is the will of Heaven.' 'I always liked you, Martha, and I believe your life with me would have been both useful and pleasant' 'At least no effort of mine should have been licking to make it so.' 'I am very sorry,' said Martha, de murely. 'But first come, first served, you know.' 'I ehould like occasionally to call and see you,' he said. You will still be in my parish, you know.' 'Oh, certainly,' she said. 'I hope that we shall always be the best of friends.' And Mr. Blossom almost fancied that, for a quarter of a second, the tender grasp of his hand was in some measure returned. He walked dejectedly out 'I am too late, Mrs. Dodd,' he said, meeting the cheery landlady, who was coming in with a pair of newly brightened candlesticks. 'Dear, dear, sir I'said she. 'She has already promised herself to 'Squire Telwright Though, how, to be sure, she could ever have made his acquaintance ' 'She wasn't acquainted with him, sir,' said she. 'Not at all?' 'At least, not until I introduced them, an hour ago.' The Reverend Paul looked horri fied. 'And yet,' he gasped, 'she is going to marry him.' Mrs. Dodd, in her consternation, dropped one of her brass candle sticks. 'Bless your heart alive, sir !' she cried out, 'she ain t a coin' to do nothing of the kind.' "She's only going to be housekeep er for him at $150 a year, and two servants kept You wasn't a mean ing sir, to ' 'I was asking her to be my wife, 6aid he, solemnly ; 'and I lully be lieve she understood me to that ef fect' Mrs. Dodd grasped eagerly at the sleeve of his coat 'She couldn't !' she said. 'Just wait a bit, sir wait a bit' 'Martha! Matty! come out here this minute.' 'You hayen't understood a word that the Rev. Blossom has said to you. He has asked you to marry him.' The knitting fell from Miss Mink- ley's hands. She turned pale and began to tremble. Was it then true the crushed out ' forgotten dream of her whole life? The reaching instinct of her hunger ing heart Did some one really love her at last even her?" " I I didn't comprehend,' said she. 'I supposed that he wanted me to be his housekeeper. I believed that his wife was living.' She's been dead these four yeare,' interjected Mrs. Dodd. A nd if ever there was a saint upon earth, Martha, and a man as any woman might be proud to many, it is Paul Blossom.' Martha held out her hands. 'Paul,' said she, forgetting all the years that elapsed since they were boy and girl at the Wesleyan Semi nary, 'do you care for me ? Do you love me, Paul T 'I do,' he answered solemnly. Ihen I will be vour wile, said she, with a little sob. In this world nothing is altogeth er satisfactory. The Rev. Paul Blossom was hap py ; so was Martha Minkley ; so were the children, and, in a lesser degree, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Dodd. But Jemima Blossom was not at "11 pleased, after having selected Hester Henderson as her brother's second wife. Neither was Hester Henderson herself, who had already settled on the color of her wedding dress. . And squire lei wright was com pelled to advertise in the paper for a suitable housekeeper, after alL But love, a late blooming flower in Borne lives, was beginning to bright en Martha's solitary existence at last, and what mattered anything else? A Mail-Carrier a Advent are. The fourteen feet long shoes of ''Snowshoe Thompson" will be sent to the Louisville exhibition by H Mctvusick, superintendent of the railway mail service on the Pacific coast The shoes are those built for Thompson, who was a mail carrier on various Sierra Nevada routes for many years, and died only a few years ago. If a history of a few of the startling adventures encountered by Thompson could be sent along with the shoes, they would indeed be an interesting exhibit One morning when Thompson was rest ing at a hut near lanks station, something knocked at the door, and, coins to open it Ihompson saw a b;g gnzzly. Ihompson jumped back, and the bear waddled in and cave evidence of his satisfaction at the prospect of a mail carrier for a winters least lie couidn t get out of the door, so Thompson jumped up, caught hold of a crossbeam, and drew himself up. The bear camped underneath and grinned indignant ly, as though saying : "Well, old fel low, you've got to drop down sooner or later; here goes to see which one of us can outlast the other." Thompson sat it out alk that day and the following night There was no use in crying lor help, ns none would be within hailing until spring. He could not jump down and fight the bear with his pocket-knife, his only weapon, and altogether the case looked pretty desperate for the old mail carrier. His snow shoes were leaning from one end of the cabin to the wall at the other end, and Thompson finally opened his knite and lashed it with his scarf, torn in strips, on one end of one shoe, making a formidable lace of it. VV bile the bear camped under him he could not use his lance, the cabin not being long enough. Thompson at last got the animal ontside the door by tossing one of his stockings out,- which the bear' lunged out to investigate. That got him far enough to be prodded, and Thomp son prepared. V hen the grizzly had sniffed the bait it turned round, facing the door, and found itself within a foot of Thompson's lance point The old mail carrier onlv had a foot to draw back bis lance. but he used it to good advantage, for carefully drawing it back he gave it a sudden lunge forward, the knife entering the bear's brain through one of its eyes. W hen the exhausted mail-earner reached Yank's and told his story it was doubted, although Thompson had a remarkable reputation for truth-telling among those hardy iars of the mountains. lhere, if vou don t believe me, boys, Thomp son said, "the United States mail ken wait until my carrackter is vin- dikated. I'll not leave this place un til some of ye doubting lubbers has gone back thar and brought me a steak from that thar bar." And it was done. Yank himself and some of the men about the station went back on snow-shoes, and Thompson had his dinner off a steak of the bear he had killed with his snow-shoe lance. Always If ad m Master.

Chamberlain, of Maine, the officer who was designat ed by Grant to receive the surrender of Lee's army, in one of his lectures gives a graphic description of the closing scenes of the rebellion : We were in camp all day, while Generals Grant and Lee were ar ranging the details ot surrender. But on the next night about midnight I was ordered to have my command out at 5 o'clock the next morning, to receive the colors of the rebel army of Northern Virginia. It was chilly that morning, but you may safely bet we were on time. We formed in line of battle, stretching along the south street of the town from the bank of the stream to the court house, three quarters of a mile in extent, facing north. We were not ashamed to face that way 'now. Old Massachusetts to the right all that is left of her 18th, LUd. 32d, and the 31st Maine, willing to follow where she was worthy to lead, and the proud fragments of the 1st and 20th sharpshooters, Michigan ; never behind when a blow was to be struck, with shadowy fragments of her once glorious 1st 4th and loth. Pennsylvania on the left with all that remained of her 6Gth, 91st, USth and 15-3th. In the rear of us Gregory's New York brigade of new troops, but worthy. Upposite our own gallant little first brigade. In that surrender Grant showed a magnanimity we were disposed to criticise. He insisted, however, that while private property should be re spected, wherever it might be, all that belonged to secession the rebel army, officers and men. must march out with due ceremony and lay down their arms and colors in the presence of some portion of our troops. As we stand there in the morning mist we see the rebel army breaking camp and then slowly and reluctantly forming ranks for the ast time. And now they move the great mass breaking into column of inarch ; General Gordon with Stonewall Jackson's corps ; then Longstreet's corps, then Hill's corps, commanded by lleth. On they came, the rebellon battle flags with the diagonal cross and the thirteen stirs. The head of the rebel column comes opposite our right, and at the bugle signal we come to carry arms." The rebel commander, Gen. Gordon, at the head of the column, observes the little courtesy, drops the point of his sword and gives the command to "carrv."' Not a sound from the trumpet, no roll of the drum, but in stillness, as if indeed the dead were passing there thus they moved. They then stacked arms, and took of! their cartridge boxes and laid them on the pile. Lastly, painfully, they furled their battle flags and aid them in the dust, some kneel ing over them and kissing them with burning tears. And then the Star Spangled Banner waved alone upon the field. A Doctor s Bill Settled. When the time for settlement ar rived the good doctor presented a bill for fifty dollars, whereupon the man of the house took down his trusty rifle, walked up to the doctor and in friendly accents said : "You wan't goin' off without a settlement, was you, doctor? I don't propose to owe no man nothin." Here's a ten, which I reckon 19 about the square thing. Now, then, if you ain't satis fied jist get yer weepon and come round behind the hill thar. so the old woman won't get riled up, and we'll settle it. I don't want no man to go 'way from my house dissatisfi ed, 'specially you. Doc." It is, per haps, needless to add to the length of this historical narrative by saying that the physicians was a man who could draw a logical infer ence, and that he expressed an opin ion on the spot that ten dollars con stituted an ample and even generous remuneration for the services ren dered.

Well, I should assimi late. And it is a wonder I am not there yet But whatever you do, don't ask pa if he was at the circus, 'cause he will kill you. You see pa and I drove up to the race-track, where the circus was, in the evening, and after the circus was out we waited to see the men take the tents down, and after they had gone we started to drive home. It was dark er than a squaw's pocket, and I drove out on the race track, and the old horse used to be a racer and he pricked up his ears. Pa took the lines and said he would drive, 'cause we were out pretty late and ma would be nervous. I told pa I didn't believe he was on the right road, but he said he guessed nobody could fool him about the road to town. and bless me if he didn't drive around that track about eight times. Every time we passed the grand stand, which pa could t see on ac count of his eyes, I laff't-d ; but I thought if he knew the road so con founded well I could ride as long as he could. After we had rode around the track about eight miles, and I was getting sleepy, I mildly suggested that we had better stop at a house and inquire the way to town, and pa got mad and asked me if I took him for a fool. Then he drove around a couple of times more, and the man that keeps the track he came out with a lantern and said, "Hello !" Paaetopped and asked him what he wanted, and he said, ' O nothin," and pa drove on and told him to mind his business. We went around the track again, and when we got to the same place the man was there, and I guess pa thought it was time to inquire the wa', sk h pulled up and asked the man what he was doing there, and thu man said he was minding his own business. Pa asked him if we were oa tlie right road to town, and the man said if we wasn't in a hurry he would like to have U9 drive on the track all night, as it was a little heavy, and he wanted to get it in condition to speed the colts the next day, biit if we had to go we could drive out at the gate and tike the first left-hand road. "Well, pa was mad, and he want ed to know why I did't tell him we were on the track, but I told him he seemed to know it all, and it was dangerous to advise a man who knew it all. He didn't speak all the way to town, but, when I put out the horse, he said, "Henry, if this thing gets out vour pa will have the reputation of lieing drunk. If you tell of it you are no friend of mine." So I shall not say anything about it 'cause it is a bad boy who will go back on his pa." Her Berene Little HighneM8. In a letter from Robert J.
