He'd rise and bunt the whole thing up With "Humph, bow do you know 7" He cut his grass whenever it rained. He shocked his wheat up green. He cut his corn behind the frost, His hogs was alius lean.

The windows of the railway car were open. There was a breeze stirring, and though a cloud of dust was blown in, it was also blown out, with the exception of tired portion which stopped to rest on the clothes of the passengers or burrowed tor its own safety in their ears and nostrils. There were only two va.cant seats in het car, and at Paukeap station two persons came to fill them. One of these was an old man on a second look he was prob ably not over fifty with iron-gray hair, partly covered by a slouched hat and clad in a new suit of gray that seemed to have been made for somebody else. With him was a young and pretty girl, whose dress was of on ii nary stuff, but well fitting, and who was well gloved and well shod. The observer would have set down the two for a well-to-do farmer and his daughUr who were traveling for business or pleasure. The man looked around. The two vacant seats were on opposite sides of the car. In one of them sat a young, well dressed and apparently self satihlied gentleman, and the space by his side was occupied by a handbag of croc odile leather and a spring overcoat. In the other was another young man not quite so extravagantly dressed, though neatly clad and not so handsome as the first, though he hail an oen and intelli gent countenance. The farmer looked around and motioning to his daughter, said : "There's a place for you, Lucy." Then turning to the young man with the satchel, he asked : " Seat engaged ?" The young man looked up, curled his lip supercilliously, and said : " Man to till it will be here presently, I dare say." "Ah," said the farmer, coolly removing the gripsack and overcoat and placing them on the young man's lap ; " then III occupy it until he comes," and he seated himself accordingly, while the youcg ruan glared at him. The one on the other side looked amused ; and then rising, said : " You had better exchange seats with Die, sir ; and then the young lady and yourself will be together." "Thank you!" was the farmer's reply, and the exchange was quietly ef fected. The two young men were evidently acquainted, for the courteous one said to the other, in a low voii : " Jim P miller, you made a mistake there." "I never make mistakes, Frank Bol ing," replied the other. " 1 dare say you will make your fortune some of these days by being polite to the granger pop ulation but niy fortune is already made." The first speaker said nothing more ; but, drawing newspajier from bis pock et, opened it, and ran his eye over its columns. Poulder yawned a little, and at last said : "This is too dull for yours faithfully, James Poulder. I'll go into the smoking car and take a w hiff. Have a snifter 7" he inquired, producing a small pocket flask. " Xo, thank you," replied Doling. " That stuff is altogether too fiery for me." " Here goes alone, then. That's as fine brandy as ever crossed the ocean. Day day ! Keep an eye on my traps, will you, and don't give up my seat to every coun try yokel who asaa it V The elegant voting gentleman shook himself, and made his way forward to the car especially provided for fumiga tion. - When he had gone the old man lean ed on the arm of his seat and addressed Boling : " Excuse me, sir; but didnt your friend who has left say that his name was James Poulder?" "That's his name, sir replied the young man, " but he is not exactly friend of mine, though he lives in tbw same place, and I know him very well." " May I inquire where he is from 7" " Yea, sir ; Careysburg." set ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1887. "Son of Peter B. Poulder, the great pork packer there, isn't he 7" " Yen, sir." "His father should deal with him ; it would be quite in his line. " Oh, pap !" said a sweet, reproachful voice, as those near who heardfthe collo quy tittered. " It's a fact," Lucy, rejoined the far mer. The old gentleman, who evidently was intelligent, entered into a general conver sation with the younger, and soon show ed that he was quite well informed. Rol ling was glad of a conference so enter taining, especially when, as his eyes were bent in that direction, he saw the young lady was interested, and, he hoped, a pleased listener. There was something very sweet in the expression of her coun tenance, an inexpressible impress of modesty and innocence in her features. They chatted away tnd the elder, so destrously that the younger never per ceived it, drew oat of the other his position, prospects, and future inten tions. Boiling was frank by nature, and the questions of his interlocutor, who was as ingenious as the other was ingenous, were craftily put. The sharp granger soon learned that Frank Colling had been engaged for some time in the study of law ; but that his father, having met with reverses and having two younger daughters to educate, the young man de termined to make his burden less, and had set out to support himself, abandon ing his law studies and t iking a situation as salesman in a country store at Griffton a thriving town about five miles from the main line. I get but begagrly pay, of course," said Frank, gayly ; " I'm only a raw band ; but I have a promise that when I am qualified my wages will be increas ed." ' You are rather a singular person," said the farmer, gruffly. "Most young men would have talked of their salary." "I rather prefer the old s:yle of Eng lish," said Boling. "I am to be a hire ling, and the compensation of a hireling is called wages. But wages or salary the terms are indifferent to me." My place is w ithin amileof Grifllon," said the old man. " I've a notion that I knew your father once. Wasn't he at Harvard in his time?" ' Yes, sir ; and so was L We are al umni of the same school." 'I wonder if he remembers his old chum there one George Carter George St. Leger Carter as they have it on the rolls." ' Yes, sir ; I've heard hiiu speak of him often ; Judge Carter, you mean? He lives at Griffton. Do you know him 7" "I'm! ye-s! After a fashion." " Papa," whispered the young girl, but Boiling's quick ear caught her words. "I know the judge better than vou do." 'Be quiet. Puss, will too?" replied her father, in the same tone. ' I am told that he left the bench, and though quite wealthy, has gone back to the bar. I have a letter for him which my father, recalling their youthful friend ship, insisted on giving me , but I sluu'l not present it," " Why not ? He might be of use to you." " Scarcely, sir. You see if I am to be a salesman in a country store, I had bet ter accoinmodHte myself to my position. The judge, even if he remembered old college friendhips, wouldn't be likely to consider me a welcome addition to his family circle as a visitor. He is rich, and then he is said to have a very liamLsome and accomplished daughter, who would no doubt look dow n on me. I have my bread and butter to earn, and had best confine my'lf to it" " Possibly youare right. But how came. your father to lose his money ? I thought he inherited a fine fortune?" "Yea, sir; but he was drawn into in curring responsibility for a relative. He is not ruined, by any means, but is mere ly hampered, and thinks be will pull through in time with a little economy and prudence ; and I have no dou lit he wiSL Fut I am only in his way. or I would have remained." " Haveyouever thought of trying fann ing?" " Xo, sir. I have no eapital, and know nothing of it" "Do you know any more of selling groceries and dry goods?" " Xot a bit more ; but you see I am paid something there while I learn." " Your friend, or your acquaintance, as you call him, goes to Griffton, to does her " Yes, sir ; but he goes there in a dif ferent capacity. I believe he represents his father in some transactions about some property with the judge and is to remain there some -lavs as a guest, until the affair is closed. Possibly, as his fa ther wants him to marry, he may be on a tour of observation and take in the judge's daughter, though that is very im pertinent of me, for he has said nothing on the subject." " Do yon think be is so irresistible as to be able to pick and choose at his pleasure 7" inquired the girl, look ing very quizzically over her father's shoulder. "He can be very fascinating when he chooses, I am told," replied Boiling ; "and as he is handsome, an only son, and his father worth millions, he is what el derly ladies call 'a good catch.' " " He puts up his fascination along with his courtesy, I suppose, and leaves both at home when he travels," said the girl. " Locy ! I-uey !" cried her father, " some thoughts had better be left un spoken." The conversation turned into other channels. But the old farmer still pur sued bis queries in the most artful way. There is a strong thirst for information in the rural miml, but in this instance it seemed to be personal. At last the elegant Jim Poulder came back from the smoking car, with a very strong nicotine aroma shedding itself from his person. His voice bad that thickness which told of the draining of his pocket-flask. He was jolly and con fidential. " Sony, old fellow," he said, " to have left you so long. Been bored to death for want of company, haven't yon 7" " Oh, no ! I have enjoyed a very pleas ant conversation with our genial neigh bor over the way." "Genial! Well, of all the queer chaps for picking np low acquaintances, yon beat 'em, and give 'em six in the game." " Ssh, they'll hear you." "Let 'em, who cares? Going to stop at the Junction V " Xo ; there is a one-horse connecting train, I learn, and I shall push on to Griffton at once." " I shan't. I shall lay over a day. I'm sort of worn out, and I'll come over to morrow as fresh as a daisy. Hope you'll have a good time among the cheese and candies. I intend to look in on you oe fore I leave and see ' how doth the little busy bee improve each shining hour. " " Thank you ; you're very kind." The brakeman craned his neck in the door and uttered some sounds, apparent ly "Grittin Joxsh'n," which the experi enced ear understood to be Griffin Junc tion, and the travelers for that point left the cars. Poulder made his way, w ith his luggage, to the little hotel there, while the farmer and daughter, followed by Boiling, made their way to the single car, with a little superannuated engine attached, which stood waiting. There were no other passengers, and the three had the car to themselves. " Come over here, Mr. Boiling," said the old man, after the car had been in motion awhile, " I want to to talk to you a bit. Turn down the seat. That will do. Y'ou said you had a letter for Judge Carter, but didn't intend to deliver Yes, sir." " Did it ever occur to you, young man, that it was your duty to obey a father's orders?" " I trust, sir, I'm usually obedient. It was not a positive order. I shall write him and explain." " I tell voq that you should deliver that letter to it proper owner. Y'ou are only a trustee in this case. I am Judge Carter, and this is my daughter Lucy. Hand over the letter to the court." " I beg pardon, sir ; but I " " You want identification. Here, con ductor ! Tell this young man who I am. Judge Carter," resjionded that func tionary, a little curious to know what it was al. about, "Thank you, Phillips. That will do. Xow, sir." Boiling, not a little astocished, took the letter from his pot ket book. " If you'll permit me," said the Judge as he opened the letter and glanced over the contents. " He gives you a good character, and wants me to look after you a little. Ah, how time flies ! Lucy, this young fel low's father and I had such good times in the old days. How long did you read law, Boiling?" " A little over two years, sir.' "Like itr " Very much indeed, sir." " Whom did you read with?" "Spence and Sullivan." "Good men. Sullivan put you through the office business, I fancy. That's his way. Xow, I have been putting you through an exhaustive examination. which is my way, and I think you will do. Let old Bragg find another sales man. He's not dying for you, and I can get him a substitute. I have two stu dents in my office. What they are there for is their own business, but they will, never make a great success at the bar un less they change their ways. I want s clerk to manage my office and to boss around while I am off on a circuit. I'll give you a living salary, not too much, and you can read law meanwhile. You ought to be able to pass in a year. If you turn out like I hope you will why, when you get your sheepskin, we'll see what can be doue. What do yea say to this?" "ay to it, sir! What can I say but yes, and thank you heartily for your of fer r " Very well, that's settled, Here we are, and there is our carriage. Jump in ; 1 11 drive." The next day James Poulder, Esq, made his appearance at the Carters in a state of elegant only matched by that of Captain Cuttle's famous watch never equaled and never excelled. He was ushered into the drawing-rooni and re ceived by a young lady whose style suit ed even his fastidious taste, and whose features hail a dim familiarity. When the Judge came in the young man's rec ognition of the fanner in the car was complete. He stammered out an apolo gy, but the old man relieved him. " It could hardly have been expected that you should have known us," said the Judge. Let all that pass. You are quite welcome. As we have two hours before dinner, well go to the affice and look over the papers together. Miss Car ter will please excuse you in the mean time." In the office Poulder found Boiling, who was busy at work on a declara tion. " Why, Frank, I thought you were go ing into the grocery bosinessT' " I've changed my mind," said Frank, resuming his work. James Poulder stayed his week out, and then took the cars for Cureysburg. Frank Boiling did not make the same trip until two years later. Then he went to visit his Cither, who had got over his pecuniary troubles, and to see his sisters. He had been admitted to the bar mean while, and Judge Carter, whose favora ble impressions time had confirmed, had taken him into partnership just before he left. He was in high spirits on that trip. Miss Locy Carter that had been, Mrs. Francis Boiling then, was his travel ing companion. A Lengthy Pastorate. The late Rev. IL B. Ewell was the pas tor of the Baptist Church at Pavilion, X. Y, for nearly half a century. He was a man of strict honor and integrity and the highest Christian character. His word was as good as a government bond, and he never expressed an opinion that he did not firmly believe, He wrote as fol lows : " It affords me great pleasure to recommend to the public, Gilinore's Ar omatic Wine. I believe it to be the most desirable remedy that can be placed in any family. I am well acquainted with the manufacturers, and have confidence in their ability to do a good thing for suf fering humanity. I have ued their Wine in my family for a number of years with gt od effect, and firmly believe it will do what is claimed for it. By taking revenge a man is bat even with his enemy, but in passing it he is superior. eralc Protection Not a Misnomer. Daniel Manning, the oracle of the modern Democracy, and the apostle of British Free Trade erects an idol for his party to worship as follows : " 'Protection' is a misnompr. It implies superiority elsewhere. That superiority over any great indnstry of ours does nH exist upon the globe. It implied infants here aud adults elsewhere. Suh is not our rvputataion. It implies that amid competition universal, where the fittest survive, we ahall perish. But it is every where else believed that whenever we shall release ourselves from bad laws and enterthat competition unmanacled. rivals will be distanced and our supremacy es tablished int he markets and commerce of the world'" - It would be difficult to find such a batch of political rubbish or bundle of absurd propositions in the English Ian gunge and yet the Democracy of the na tion must accept it and bow down to the party's idol to suffer the pain of excum- mumcation. This second Daniel come to judgment" has expurgated all the apocrypha from the ritual and gives the naked version of what many of political assix-iates have clothed with ambiguous sentences, or denied when the .occasion required. " Protection a misnomer; Why is it written all over the history of the world and is injected into all government. Protection is government and there can be none without it. Constitutions and laws ai for the sole purpose of protec ting persons and property, (iovernment means that, or means nothing. Were no protection needed, no governments would be instituted. And yet Daniel Manning savs Protection is a misnomer. It is a proverb in political economy that the government which bet protects its people is the best and the strongest. The shield of citizenship Is intended to ward off the blows of enemies, and the law is the lance placed by governments in the hands of the people to protect their lives and their property. This gives each indi vidual the strongest of united thousands, for it brings them to his aid in the hour of danger. It makes him a giant, and his house a castle. And yet Daniel Manning says " Protection is a tnispomer." We organize and maintain a standing army, provide it with all the parapher nalia of war and scatter it over our do mains to protect us from dangers within and foes without, and we give it greater powers than are liestowod on the highest civilian in order that its protecting influ ence may be more potent. We build war vessels and provide a navy to patrol our shores and to protect our interests in the ports of the world. We construct mon ster grins to break down iron walls and to destrov those who mar attack us and we build fortifications on our rivers and harbors to protect our cities and indus trial plants. And yet Daniel Manning savs : " Protection is a misnomer." We establish quarantines and estab lish Boar Is of Health to protect us from the importation of deadly diseases, and to stay epidemics at home, and in doin 1 these we expend millions of the public' money. We erect penitentiaries and jai' to protect ns from criminals and to pr- serve the peace and pxxl order of .-iety. We pass laws to prevent the importation of criminals and those who would be come a burden on our charitable insti tu tions, and we employ officers to carry them into effect. And yet Daniel Man ning says: "Protection is a misnomer." Ami, beyond and above all those we build custom houses aud establish ports of entry, and we empower officers to in spect all goods that arrive at our porta and to collect snch duties as areprescribed by law, thereby regulating the prices so that they shall not drive similnr gnosis of our own make out of the market and thus destroy the labor of those who man ufacture them and therebv keep our la bor emyloyed at remunerative prices. Thus each cu-tom house becomes a for tress to protect our people as much so as if it were armed with m.immoth guns and filled with soldiers. And yet, Dan iel Manning says : JProtection is a misno mer." Daniel Manning may preach, the Dem ocratic party may sing and pray, and the British Free Traders behind the pulpit may pay the parson, but the -people those who supply the capital and those who furnish the labor which produces millions of useful creations, will not be lieve the sermon, nor join the church, for they know by an experience which is a thousand times more valuable than Daniel Manning's theory, that Protection is XOT a misnomer. The Joke Put on the Lawyer. Leslie Coombs, a great friend of Henry Clay, and a popnlar stump speaker, used to tell a good story about Connselor Hig gins. He was exceedingly adroit in de fending a prisoner, and would sometimes aluioct laugh down an indictment for a small offense. A fellow (one Smith) be ing on I trial for stealing a turkey, the counselor attempted to give a good hu mored turn to the affair. " Why, gentle men of the jury," said he, "this is really a small ailair. I wonder why anyone would bring such a complaint into court; if we are going on at this rate we shall have enough business on our hands. Why I recollect when I was at College nothing was more common than to go out forag ing. We did not get the poultry too often in the same place, and there was no harm done, no fault found." Xotwithstanding this appeal, the jury convicted the pris oner. After the court rose, one of the jury, a plain old farmer, meeting the counselor, complimented his ingenuity in the defense. " And now, Squire,' said he, fixiag a knowing look on him, " I should like to ask you a question ; which road do yon take in going home, the up per or lower?" "The lower," answered the counselor. " Well, then, it's no mat ter ; I only wanted to observe that if you were going my way I waul 1 just jog on before and lock np my hen house." ifca Perley Pmm. Mr. Foots " Where is that burglar, Maria? Where is he? Where's the vil lain gene?" Mrs. Pi Kits "Gone tothe tation boose. Oh, dear I'm so distracted. A poiiceman came and took him.

Fire requires air ; therefore on its ap pearance every effort should be made to exclude air, shut all the doors and win dows. By these means fire may be con fined to a single room for a sufficient pe riod to allow all the inmates to be arous ed and escape ; bat if the doors and win dows are thrown open the fanning of the wind and the draught will instantly cause the flame to increase with great rapidity. It must never be forgotten that the most precious momenM are at the commencement of the fire, and not a sin gle second of time should be ht in tack ling iL In a Mora a table cloth ran be used as to smother a large sheet of flame and a cushion may serve to beat it out ; a coat or anything similar may be used with an equal and succeful advantage. The great point is presetwe of mind, calmness in danger, action guided by rea son and thought. In all large houses buckets of water should be placed on ev ery landing, a little salt being put in the water. Always endeavor to attack the bed of fire, shut the windows, and be sure to shut the door when making your retreat. A wet silk handkerchief tied over the eyes and nose will make breath ing possible in the nn.lst of much smoke, and a blanket wetted and and wrapped around the body will enable a person to ass through a sheet of flames in compar ative safety. Should a lady's dress catch fire, let the wearer at once lie down ; rol ling may extinguish the fire, but if not, anything wollen preferred, wrapped tight ly round willeffeit the desired purpose. Philadelphia OiU. China's Great Wall a Myth. Abbe Larrien, formerly a missionary in China, has published a pamphlet (Paris, Leroux), on the great wall of China, to demonstrate that this structure disss not exist and has never existed. The popu lar belief is that this wall stretches for abuot i)0 leagues across China, from the sea to the province of Kan-Su, that it is wholly construcU-d of cut stone, and 30 cubits high and 12 broad. It is believed to run straight on regardless of obstacles, going down valleys and up mountains, without a break, except such as time has made, along its whole course. This no tion originated with a Jesuit named Mar tini, who visited China alout 1CV), and his description was followed by subse quent writers. M. Larrieu has tived for several years under what would have been the shadow of the Great Wall had there been one ; he has studied the writings of recent wri ters especially Abbe Hue Who have crossed the line of the alleged wall in va rious places ; he has likewise studied the Chinese history on the subject, and his conclusions are as follows : (1) The term " Great Wall is at the bottom of all the misunderstanding, and it comes from the Chinese expression, "the wall of the ten thousand h ;" f?! as described by Marti ni and the other writers who have copied him. this wall does not and never did exist ; 3i a Chinese emperor undoubted ly did coni-eive the id-a of a grat wall from the iuif of Liao-Long on the east to Kan-Su on the west, and this, though never realized, had a beginning; (41 all along the proposed line of the wall square towers of earth, or of earth faced with brick, were constructed at considerable distances from each other, but these were never joined together by any wall as was originally intended. In some of the defiles along the route there are walls, but these particular pas sages, or they are merely the walls of vil lages, and are not parte of a larger scheme. Hence the only part of the scheme of the Great Wall was carried out the corLstnii-tion of these si-attered towers ; the rest never went beyond the brain that conceive" 1 it ; it was never more than a fancy, and it is now a myth. This huge Chinesewall, says Abbe Larsien. ais huge Chinese lie, and as for the million soldier who were said to guard it night and day, they are myths likewise. The alleged Great Wall is a favorite excursion for Europeans visiting Pekin, and such a question as whether it exists at all or not should be an easy one to settle definitely. Ijrmd'in 7nw--. Pin-Money for Wives. Among the pour, particularly the thrifty and industrious poor, the woman of the household, be she wife or daughter has much more control in dispensing the daily or weekly wage than women on a higher social plance ; men of brawn, when sensible and kindly, practice a more generous rule of conjugal partner ship than is usual among men of brain, though these tatter's earnings are on such a scale of plenty that unless we look below the surface n-gtilations and equip ments of the home we fail to discover the false financial relations that exist be tween husband and wife. For wives, as a class, have no sending money, and are rarely cognizant of their h unban La' true business condition. Is this just to the being a man has promised to honor as well as love ? Women are accn?d of being " mean," and anyone who has ever served on a collection committee knows how, in forming a list of possible subscribers, name after name is omitted with the re mark. " Xo use of going to her, she never gives," or "She has no money." And yet the husband of " she " is invar iably a man of means or ample profes sional income, who pays extravagant household or personal bills forhts family, usually with willing good nature. It is only when money is asked for that a tightening of the purse strings instinc tively takes place, and the unblushing query is made. " Why, little woman, what did you do with the $ I gave you last week ?

At the cemetery he out oat, although he didnt see any one be knew be felt it to be his duty to talk to some one about the de ceased, so he approached a nice looking old gentleman. " He was a good fellow," be said, sadly, with a slight nod toward the grave. " Yea," replied the old gentleman, wip ing away a tear. " I loved him like a brother, many's th time we've had htgether," continued Mr. M. The old gentleman looked at him in dignantly. "Oh," apoligized Mr. M., "I don mean painting the town red, or anything like that, but just nice little chats and long walks, dont you know." The old man's face grew redder. " What do yon mean, sir? he said angrily. " I mean what I say, sir. He was a rattling good follow," and Mr. M. be gan to look surprised. ' Who, sir? ' "The man in the grave there, of course." "There's no man there sir. It's a young lady.

His Memory Was Good. " And you pretend to say," remarked a lawyer to a witness, " that you remember the exact wonls this man said to you ten years ago ? " "I do."

" Yon met me in the hotel corridor." " Yes, quite correct." " And you shook hands with me." " Xaturally I di.L" " And you said to me: ' Let's go and take something." The crier of the court had to call si lence for ten minutes, and the lawyer confessed that the witness had a remark able memory, Why You Shouldn't Snub a Boy Dont snub s boy because he wears shabby clothes. When Edison, the in ventor of the telephone, first entered Bos ton, he wore a pair of yellow linen breeches in the depth of winter. Don't snub a boy because his home is plain and unpretending. Abraham Lin coln's early home was log cabin. Dont snub a boy because of s dullness in his lessons. Hogarth, the celebrated painter and engraver, was a dull boy at his books. Don't snub a boy because of the igno rance of his parents. Shakespeare, the world's poet, the son of a man who was unable to write his own name. Don't snub a bo? because he chooses a humble trade. The author of Pilgrim's Progress was a tinker. Don't snub a boy because of physical disability. Milton was blind. Don't snub a boy because be stutters.

Yokohama is the greatest commercial port of the empire, and its importance is increasing steadily year by year, Fine steamers enter and leave its harbor every day, and it is in telegraphic communica tion with all parts of the world. Its most important export at the present time is silk, the value of that sent to the United States and Europe last year amounting to $12iX),000. Tea comes next in order of importance, and almost all of it is sent direct to San Francisco for American consumption. That sent to the United States last year was valued at f3.""j0,nfi0 and the amount exported is slowly but steadily increasing. Of 4,0u0 foreigners in Yokohama near ly 6ii0 are British subjects, 20 Ameri cans, M0 Germans, 100 French, and 2.V0 Chinese.
