Oh. that the rain would come !
The corn blades wither in the parching
wind,
The waving tassels stilTcn in the glare, .
And all the silky floss is burnt and
thinned,
And small will be my Willy's share.
I, that am to be Willy's wife.
When the corn is gathered in,
Must lose another year of life.
If the weary waiting must begin,
Till next year's corn fill barn and bin.
Would that the heayens were not dumb,
And that to-day the rain wonld come.
I have made my gown 01 wedding blue,
I've netted gloves of Silken thread ;
I can bear my own grief, brave and true,
Hut Willy's grief will bow niy head-
lly Willy has a sheep, a cow.
And I have cloth in chest and loom,
And half the corn that's drooping now
Would buy us croft and shed and room.
And keep us warm the winter through.
If the heavens wore not dumb,
And the blewed rain would come.
Ah, hark! Ah, look! IHack clouds hang

The west wind rises cool and strong.
My foolish fears take breath and go,
My heart returns to its one song,
Fur the heavens are not dumb.

" What a pity !" 6aid Mra. Du jen
bury's musical voice, and a faint
shrug of the widow's graceful shoul
ders conveyed the impression of an
underlying sneer.
" What is that?" Ilalph Entresol
asked, following his companion's
glance to a litfle alcove on the oppo
site side of the brilliant parlor, in
which stood some very handsome
flowering plants in full bloom. A
piquant, girlish face was bending
over the central vase, a face spark
ling with fire and color that rivaled
its eurroundinss. Ralph Lntresol
was not insensible to the allurement
of the picture.

should have broken with Burt van

awyer in his non-committal fashion.
still watching Nora with interested
eves..
Vansant & Millican failed last
week, you know. Miss Nora, doubt
ess. thinks she can iind a better
market for her charms than a bank
rupt merchant"
Perhaps they were never en
gaged," Entresol remarked, dreami-
'y- ..... . .
Possibly, ldon t see that it
makes much difference, however.
Thev were always together ; the
most devoted pair in the world, till
very recently. It was not Vansant's
fault if they were not engaged, and
the rupture now is certainly her do
ing. See, Mr. Entresol ?''
Mr. Entresol did see ; he had
never once removed nis aamiring
eyes from Nora Payne's sparkling
iace. Hurt ansant 6tood now at
the entrance to the alcove, and Nora
was speaking with him, apparently
in reply to some remonstrance or
urging on the young man's part, for
she shook her graceful little head
emphatically, and frowned slightly.
Hurt turned awav presently, and
sauntered down the room, his hand
some face wearing an expression of
angry pain, while Nora looked after
bun a moment, still Irowning.
Iltr glance, in its way home again
encountered the lawyer's. She col
ored vividly an instant then laughed
and nodded.
" She baits her hook very prettily.
Go at once, and be caught," laughed
Mrs. Dusenbury ; but she bit her
carmine lips with vexation as the
lawyer, nothing loth, smilingly ex
cused himself and crossed over to j
pretty Nora. J
'She's an outrageous flirt, and
that is what she is," muttered Mrs.
Dusenbury from time to time, as the
evening wore on without returning
to the circle of her charms Ralph
Entresol. " He's an idiot, though,
if he marries her after what I told
him."
And still the lawyer lingered and
watched, in a sort of intoxication,
the changeful ripple of Nora Payne's
bright, expressive face, and bent his
grave, thoughtful eyes to the study
of those other darkly sparkling orbs
which JVora flashed in shy mischiev
ousness at him.
" Come and see us, Mr. Entresol,"
Nora's papa said, a? he claimed his
little girl liom the lawyer's arm later
in the evening, when the party was
breaking up.
"Yes, do. and IH show you ray
cactuses. They are altogether finer
than those we were looking at this
evening," Nora echoed, letting a lit
tle velvet palm linger an instant
longer than was necessary in Ralph
Entresol's hand at parting.
I suppose I am bewitched," the
lawyer mus-ed that night, as he
lounged in easy chair and slippers.
At my time of life, too. iiut id
like to know if it isn't enough o be
witch any man, the idea of basking
one's lifetime in theeparkle and glow
of such a pair of eyes as that.
Heigho."
And in due time he went to see
Miss Nora's cactuses.
lie lookad across at her, standing
among the geraniums and cactus
bud3, herself fresher and more
blooming than any of them. Cupid
transfixed the lawyer's heart in that
moment, and, rash as your cautious
people are upon occasion, he asked
Nora that evening to marry him,
as they were looking at her flow
ers.. And Nora stammered and blushed
and pretended to be very much
astonished, as doubtless she waa and
said :
Yes.,."
" It was a surprise, papa," Nora
said, in response to her father's cu
riously triumphant congratulations.
" I hoped something of the sort
when I asked him here. But it
has come sooner than I looked for,"
Mr. Payne said, with a sighing
breath that made Nora look at him
wonderingly.
"At least you are provided for
now," he added.
"Why, papa?"
said, drearily. It was you I cared
i for, my poor, motherless darling. I
was heavily involved in tne iailure
of Vansant & Milligan. I shall not
ba able to keep my head above wa
ter much longer."
" More trouble of Burt Vansant's
making. I am glad that I refused
him Cousin Maude's address," Nora
said, as she stole a caressing arm
about her father's neck.
"Payne on the eve of failure?"
Ralph" Entresol had just happened
on the vague rumor, and somehow
Mrs. Dusenbury's sneering words
came back to him in the same
breath. " And that is why she said
yes so readily," he thought, with a
sharp twinge in the region of the
heart, and I was fool enough to
imagine the girl might love me as I
her."
However, he called upon Payne
at his counting-room that very even-
, nr 1 I- I a
ing. ana onerea mm enougn 10
stave off ruin, if any reasonable sum
would do. Payne almost shed
tears as he accepted the kind
offer.
" Don't tell Nora," Entresol stip
ulated.
"Ralph Entresol deserves you,
dear," Mr. Payne said, as he gravely
kissed his daughter that even
ing. "I hope you will love him,
Nora."
" Mr. Entresol did not ask me to
love him ; he asked me to marry
him," Nora said, chillily. " I sup
pose he thought his money would
supply all deficiencies of any kind
whatsoever.
44 Entresol deserves to be married
for himself," Mr. Payne repeated,
but Nora made na reply.
The engagement was a short one
by Pntresol's own desire : but, con
siderably to Nora'8 astonishment, he
upon two distinct occasions ottered
her the' privilege of receding from
her promise to him, if she hesitated
any about fulfilling it. Each time
she looked straight at him, with
clear, honest eyes, and asked :
44 Do you wish the engagement
broken, Mr. Entresol ?"
" Certainly not ; but I don't want
an unwilling wife."
41 1 shall not be an unwilling
wife."
And so the matter had ended.
The engagement days were oddly
formal. "Ralph Entresol, though
undoubtedly very much in love and
reasonably prosperous in his wooing
did not seem happy, but quite the
contrary.
Mr. Payne looked on and thought,
" It is his way, and Nora shut her
red lips very tightly and said to
herself, 44 He don't deserve that any
woman should love him."
And so the wedding came, and a
lovelier bride never wore tulle and
orange-blossoms, or made the heart
of bridegroom thrill with solemn
happiness.
She looks happy, thought
Ralph Entresol, as the little hand
fluttered into his, and the sweet,
arch face lifted itself brightly toward
him, an instant before entering the
waiting carriage. Is it possible
for a woman to find happiness in
marrying so selfishly? I must teach
her to love me, she is such a child
yet," and he suppressed a sigh.
Ihe wealthy lawyer had prepared
home befitting the lovely young
wife he was bringing to it.
If she marries me for my money
she shall have her price."
Nora's raptures, as he conducted
her over their home upon her return
from the wedding tour, would have
been sweet to the ears of most bride
grooms, but Ralph Entresol listened
with a gloomy countenance, an un
smiling face.
Nora was not unmindful, and
presently, when they had seen all,
she stopped beside her husband,
grave as he.
" It is all very beautiful, she said,
' and I dare say I am a very unrea
sonable woman to find any lack
amid Buch perfectness ; but I
do."
Ralph Entresol stood with averted
face, but he turned swiftly as she
spoke, struck more by the tones
than the words.
44 Yes, Ralph, to my mind it all
lacks one thing. If I cannot have
that, it is all, beautiful as you have
made it, valueless in my eyes."
44 And what is that, Nora ?'' he
asked, ia a low voice.
44 It is the love and confidence of
my husband."
' Nora I" with a start and quiver,
" you have always had that"
" Your love, pe rhaps ; but only
in such stinted fashion as your en
tire failure of confidence prescribed.
There is something between us,
Ralph. What is it?"
" Oh, Nora !"
TelI me, my husband," and
Nora dropped toward him as blos
soms toward the sun, and lifted
eyss dewy and dark with emotion
to his.
" Do you love me, Nora?"
The sweet, tremulous lips quiver
ed into tender smiling.
" If vou had ever asked me before.
I should have told you as I tell you
now, 4 Yes, Ralph,' and Nora hid
herself in her husband's arms, and
the tears which would come now
he kissed away, while he pleaded,
not in vain, for forgiveness for the
long doubt
l'esifs of the I-amb.
When the 6heep are sheared the
annoyance which they have been
suffering for months back from the
ticks may be realized. Few owners
of flocks take the trouble to examine
their sheep to know in what condi
tion of misery they may be in, or to
discover the reason why they pine
slowly away until they perish in the
fence corners where they have se
cluded themselves. No other do
mestic animals sutler so much
from parasiti pests as sheep, and of
these pests ticks are most annoying.
We have heard of a Iamb which had
been sheared in the fall, having
more than 3,000 of these blood-suck
ing pests upon it, and it only weigh
ed twenty-six pounds. This num
ber is sufficient almost to cover th
whole surface ot the wretched am
mal, and its sufferings through the
winter can scarcely be realized, thus
made a prey by the careless neglect
ot its owner to these tormentors
No wonder that sheep should be sub
ject to so many ailments when this
the most conspicuous one of the
many pests is permitted to prey
upon it in this lniunous man
ner.
This season is a very fit and prop
er one for considering this subject,
because the youpg lambs are now
about to become subject to a vane
ty of pests, and if they are to be sav
ed from them immediate steps must
be taken to this end. As regards
the ticks, a remedy is quite easy
because when the sheep are shorn
these creature gathers upon the
lambs lor their needed shelter in
the wool. Then if the lambs are
properly treated, the ticks may be
completely destroyed. Tins treat
ment consists in dipping the Iambs
in a preparation of tobacco and
sulphur made as follows : Four oun
ces of coarse tobacco or the stems
are steeped in one gallon of boiling
water : one ounce of flowera of sul
phur to this quantity of tobacco is
added, and the liquid covered up
until the heat is reduced to 120 deg
A sufficient quantity is made to dip
the Iamb entirely, all but the head,
and the Iamb is kept in the liquid
about ten seconds, the wool bein
rubbed with the hand so as to brin;
the liquid in complete contact with
the skin. This kill the ticks in
stantly, and as the lamb is turned
loose the dead insects will be seen
dropping from the fleece. The liq
uor should be kept up to the above
temperiture to maintain its efficacy.
For a small number the liquor may
be poured into the wool along the
back, and guided through it on the
sides and fiafiks, but dipping is the
most effective method of applying
the remedy.
Another destructive enemy of
young lambs is the throat thread
worm, a small white worm, known
as the thread strongle, (Strongylus
filaria,) and a related creature to the
gape worm of the young chickens.
This worm inhabits the bronchial
tubes and air passages of the lungs
and product's the disease known as
"paper skin" or "pining," and pro
fessionally known as ana-mia, or
bloodlessness. The animal becomes
emaciated and its skin white and
transparent ; the blood has not its
healthful red color, being deficient
in the red corpuscles for want of the
necessary oxidation in th" lungs
and the lambs gradually pine away
until they are found dead. The
pest inhabit the older sheep, but is
not so frequently fatal to them, al
though it interferes considerably
with their thrift. As the worms
mature and die in the intestines of
the old sheep tbey, with a large cum
ber of eggs, are discharged in the
excrement When this is dropped
upon the grass and the dung is
moistened and dissolved the eggs
are released and are hatched into
minute worms, which become
attached to the grass and are thus
taken into the stomachs of the sheep
and lambs that are pastured on
fields where sheep have run the year
before, or which have been top dres
sed with manure from the sheep
pens. To avoid the trouble it is on
ly necessary that the lambs sheuld
be kept from such fields and pro
vided with clean pasture. As a re
lief from the disease when it has in
vaded the flock, small doses of tur
pentine are given daily for several
days in succession, and at least one
hour before the lamb-j're fed. The
dose for a three or four months' old
lamb is one teaspoonful, given in as
much molasses to soften its irrita
tive effects. But, as with all other
disorders of sheep and lambs, pre
vention is tne most effective cure.

curious CATtien.
Among the South american catfish
a number form rude receptacles for
their eggs, and others have curious
sacs on their bodies to hold their
young. On the Amazon and its
tributaries many of the border trees
are hung with viues, called Lecines,
that grow out over the water, drop
down, and, as the end meets the
stream, take root and grow. If the
tendrils floating matter from up the
stream becomes caught, and soon a
floating garden is the result. Under
these a little fish called the pc rae
takes its place during the breeding
season and here the eggs are placed.
TWO BRAINS.
A child with two brains was born
to Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kuerwitz, of
Spring Creek I recinct, near Hebron,
but only lived two days. On the
back of its head was a tumor, 11
inches in circumference, connected
with the real head by a ligament,
inches long. Drs. Easton and Bris
ton, of Hebron, who made a post
mortem examination, found the
supjosed tumor to be a second head,
supplied with an active brain, scalp,
etc., and lacking only the face de
velopment, through the ligament
between the two heads was an artery
entering the real head through a
small aperture near the first verte-

WOODl'HUCK KITTENS.
A tenant on one of the Rutherford
farms at Vernon, N. Y., has for some
time past owned an immense fetnala
cat. In disposition she is very fierce,
probably because each fore foot is
provided with six toes instead of the
usual complement of five. Each
toe is armed with a terrific claw
which the other cats in Vernon were
quick to acknowede as the cham
pion fur scrapers of Sussex County.
Recently the cat presented her owner
with a litter of seven young ones.
They have, however, a very unkit
ten like appearance; indeed they all
closely resemble the pround-hog.
Their legs and ears are without fur
and in shape and color are identical
with those of the American marmot,
Arctom vs monax, vulgarly called the
woodchuck.

of men, medium in height, muscuiar,
broad-chestel, ard with an erect
carriage. The face is sometimes
daubed with black, and as a set-off
to this blackness the nose is made
brilliant by a choice application of
red ochre. For variety's sake the
face is at other times painted blue,
and the nose black. Tattooing is
sometimes to be seen, but this is
not nearly so much indulged in as
by the Maories of New Zealand.

prompts. Ihe color ot the body is
light chocolate, and it is kept smooth

ot cocoanut oil. The hair ttands
out some four or five inches from the
scalp ; it is close and of a dark brown
color near the base, but of a light
semi-golden hue at the extremities.
This i3 owing to the hair being, for
sanitary reasons, treated with an oc

may not unfrequently be seen with
hair quite white during the two or

A HORSE AT THE BELL UOrE.
A series of interruptions occurred
on the train due here on Saturday
morning from the West on the Len
tral. V hen leaving Syracuse a car
iden with horses en route from the
West to Saratoga was connected with
the train. The train had scarcely
got under way when the bell-cord
was jerked and the engineer warned
to stop. The brakes were shut
down and inquiry made along the
train as to what was the matter.
The trainmen' all denied pulling the
cord, and after an examination as to
the cause, without result, the train
got under way. Scarcely 000 yarda
had been gone over, however, before
the bell-cord was again pnlled, and
the tram brought to a stop, anoth
er inquiry and examination along
the train failed to reveal the cause,
and another start was made, when,
for a third time, the mysterious sig
nal was sounded. This time anoth
er thorough investigation was made,
which was equally fruitless. Once
more was the train started up, and
again the warning signal was sent to
the engine. This time, when a stop
was made, it was determined to as
certain whether any other than hu
man agency was responsible for the
signal, and the train was carefully
gone over. When the car contain
the horses was reached a jerking of
the bell-rope was noticeabie, and on
further examination it was feund

finding that the bell-rope was with

Frank M. Collier writes from Me
ridian giving his recollection of an
old occurrence, never before men
tioned in print, that reminds one of
the Charles McComascase. Several
years ago a squad of eight Indians
"came into Comanche County. Pe
ter C Johnson and his little son Pe

been to Waco to purchase family
supplies, and wen returning hmne.
The Indians surrounded the wagon,
killed Uncle peter and captured lit
tle Peter, rifled the wagon, and
utruck out up the I'.osque alley.
In the meantime a scout from Bes-
ley's Creek and the Leon Valley has
hurriedlv taken the trail. On the
Clear Fork of the Brazos, from some
cause unknown, the Indians drop
ped little Peter, taking bis coat, hat
and socks, leaving him with nothing
on but his shirt and trousers, fifty
or seventy-five miles from the near

with cothing to subsist upon and
no means of procuring food, and li
able to be devoured at any moment
by hungry wolves. He had wan

in puruit had failed to find him.
Little Peter lived five days and
nights without a single bite to eat
save grass root". On the evening
of the sixth day he was found by a
company of cow hunters that Bill
