THE DEACON'S WOOING.
The snn had disippcared behind the
hills of New Bethany and the linerinn
light n the mountain t.ips was chang
ing from ns to parpie when IVacon
Pia. li stopfwd his melancholy oM uiaM
in front of the village pt otlke.
It was SatonUty niht, the only time
when New IJetbany rouned itself from
its lethargy, and showed any. si)in of
iifeand energy. The rest of the week
it drowsed and ' languished after the
fashion of small country towns remote
from railway and manufacturing cen
tres. "Whoa, 5Iary Jane!" said the deacon,
with unnecessary emphasis throwing
the reins on tbe mare's broad back, and
springi n to the ground.
Bat the despondent Miry Jane had al
ready ceased her shambling ptit from
sheer f rce of haliL A teo year"s ser
vice with the deacon had made her per
fectly familiar with, the austomed
round of sto;ipinsr plai-es. AVe.ines.lay
night it was prayer meeting; Sunday,
the church service, and Saturday niitht
invariably the post ollice, au.l, as a late
variation, an afttr pan-e at the haate of
Mrs. Betsy Hill, the milliner, who for a
quarter of a century had supplied the
women of Xew Bethany with headgear
fearfully and wonderfully made.
The moment the deacon stepped inside
the office he knew, from the miusoal
buzz of conversation, that something
extraordinary had happened.
"Hescl the news, deacon? asked one
of the village loungers.
The deacon looked up in an inquiring
manner.
"Miss Keziah's had an airuzin' streak
of luck."
"It's been nothing but an amaiin'
streak of luck evet since she was born,"
returned the deacon. "If ownin' the
best farm in town and hevin' money at
interest isn't luck, I wru!d like to know
what is."
"Yes : but this is souiethin out of com
mon. You used to know her brother
vho dieJ years ago and left his only
child for Miss Keziah to bring up? Wal,
when the old man Mead died Miss Kez
iah took the farm as her share of tbe
property, and her brother being of a
rovin' turn of mind, took the few thou
sand of personal property as his'n and
invested 'em in Western lands, which
turned oat to be worthless, and he lost
every cent Le put in. Folks always
blamed him for be; a' so foolish and
hasty, and they say grief and mortifica
tion hastened Lis death. Wal, it turns
out they have put a railroad straight
through the lands and it's sent real es
tate way up, no'tiody knows where. Miss
Keziah's been offered nigh onto jS OOO
for the lands, and they say she will get
ever so mach m.jre if she only holds
on."
"You don't mean it?"
"I dew ; it's trew as Scripture."
"She'll hold out, never fear," said the
deacon. "And I hold it to be our bound
er duty as neighbors to advise her to
that end." ,
Instead of lingering as usual for the
village gxwip for N'ew BethaDy poet
office on Saturday night answered the
purpose of a weekly paper the deacon
seemed in a great bnrry to get home.
It was the night of the choir rehearsal,
and as the deacon drove by the church
be saw M try Mead. Miss Keziah's niece,
going np the step.
He suddenly whipped op his sleepy
old mare and drove home at a breakneck
speed.
'Xow'i your time, Soloman Pinch."
he muttered to himself. "It's mebbe a
long while afore ye'll have such a good
chance again. She'll be sure to be alone
for a couple of hours or so hi. old lady,
no stoppin here to-night," he added,
giving the lines a sudden twist as Mary
Jane showed aa inclination to stop be
fore Mrs. 3Iary Hill's house; "we've
other fish to fry now, old girl."
When he reached home he drove the
mare under the horse shed and tied her
there, instead of unharnessing her 43
was Lis nsual custom.
Then hi entered the house, and has
tily swallowed the scanty supper which
the hired woman placet before him.
d nned his best clothes, and drove off
onca more at a rapid pace.
"Law sakes alive!" exclaimed the wo
man, amazed. ''The deacon's got suthin'
on bis mind, that's sore. It's the first
time that I ever knowed him to disre
member to ask a blessing."
Ever since the death of his wife Bea
con Pinch had locked on Miss Keziah as
her probable successor.
For years he had gazed on the fine
Mead farm with its sub-djintial build
ings, but he never coal.1 screw his cour
age np to the Doint of facing the snap
ping black eyes of its owner.
Of late he had been seen several times
knocking at the door of Miss Betsy Hill's
little browa house, and the worthy mil
liner was overjoyed at the opening of the
brilliant prospect before her.
Bat the newt of the sodden rise in
we -stern lands canned Miss Hill to sink
into insignificance by the side of the
rich woman with her well tilled acres,
her over-flowing Lams, and her prospect
iv thousands of dollars.
The klea fb failure in his matrimonial
vesture never for an instant entered the
ESTABLISHED 1827.
deacon's mind. He thought she would
jump at the chance. ,
"Come to put her money and my in
fluence together," he thoaght, "and I
rather guesa we will stand about top of
the heap in New Bethany."
Miss Keziah was sitting by the table
knitting as usual, when a step sounded
on the walk. She opened the door, and
holding the lamp above her head, her
eyes rested on the amazing spectacle of
the deacon ia ail tfce Sunday magnifi
cence of white shirt and black broad
cloth. "We'd, I never, she ejaculated,
and then feeling that her reception had
been hardly hospitable, she lowered the
lamp and said kindly -. "Come in, dea
con, come in."
"Thank ye, thank ye ; I don't mind if I
dew."
"Take a seat, deacon."
"Thank ye ; I don't min i if I dew."
"Anythin'goinf on?" asked Miss Ke
ziah, resuming fcer knitting. She was
greatly puzzled t account f r those Sun
day clothes. '
-N'othin' within the range of my ob
servation. There won't be mnch goin'
on till election time ; thicgs'U be pretty
lively then."
"Want bay any hay this year?"
chirped Miss Keziah. "Mine is extra
good this season ; my hired man says it
is the bent harvest yield in town."
"I rather guess I'll have enou-h
carry me through the winter. If I don't
1 shall know where to come lur hay as
is hay. I declare, your farm does beat
ail ! I feel kind o" rigged like when 1
thick the best Ciroi in town is managed
by a woman." i
Miss Keziah smiled graciouely and
the deacon drew his chair nearer his
hostess. "It must be a great load for
ye to carry alone. Such a large farm is
a tremendous responsibility for a lone
woman."
"Oh, I don't mind it. It keeps me
proper busy."
The deacon hitched his chair along a
few inches farther.
"Ye'd oughter have a brother or a cous
in, or some relative like to share the
burden with yon."
"My shoulders are plenty Rtrong," re
turned Mis Keziah good natueedly. "I
am glad to show folks there are women
who are good for something besides
g'uldy-g-addyicg and tattling."
"Yes" answered the deacon, "we can
all testify to your valley and worth.
You're real honor to your sex. You are
a bright and shintn' beacon light to the
triflin'and vain-minded women of the
world," and the speaker waved his hand
at the conclusion of this little oratorical
flourish.
Then hitch, hitch, went the chair Miss
Keziah ward.
"Don't you feel sort o lonely at spells 7
he asked.
Miss Keziah glanced susp'n-ionsly at
the rapidly advancing chair. She wei
to the fire and put s-me wool on. and
then came back and set her chair on tbe
farther side of the table thus patting a
barrier between them.
"I'm never lonely, deacon. Plenty to
do is the best nM'Jicine for loneliness."
"Bat woman's a tender, dependent
creatur". Woman's a vine," here the
deacon took up his weekly prayer-meet
ing drawl, "and needs suthing to cling
to when the troublous, delatin' winds
and waves of aliliction and sorrow roll
over her."
"Stuff and nonsense!" said Miss Ke
ziah, with a contemptuous sniff. "lean
tell von I can stand alone as well as an v
- body, if the Lord wills it, tho' I admit it
is pleasanter to haw some one keep you
company."
"That's just it, Xow it seems to me
that it would be a good thing if we could
walk hand in hand through this vale o'
tears."
Miss Keziah was dumbfounded, but a
look at her aged admirer excited her to
say wrathfully : "The old fool !"
The deacon started to beat a retreat,
but the yarn was wonnd around his boots
and he had to remain.
"When yon began your talkin," she
said, "I thought yon was emtio,' abou
Betsy Hill, and wanted to take me into
your confidence. I never dreamed you
meant me. I wouldn't give up my free
dom fur the best man living. Bets'' Hill
ill make a good wife for you, and she
needs a home herself. And let me tell
yoo, deacon, if you'll stir around and
pick the stones oat of your lots and mow
the weeds there's no reason why your
farm shouldn't look aa well as mine. If

Tbe delar caused by this gave Miss

"One word more, deacon ; have yoa

The deacon wished he was anywhere

"I I think I've heern sn.hin about

"1 thought so, I thought so," exclaim

Apples a3 Medicine.
Chemically, the apple is composed of
vegetable fibre, albumen, sugarjfum,
chlorophyll, malic acid, galtic acid, litue,
and much water. Furthermore, the Ger
man analysts say that the apple contains
a larger percentage of phosphorus than
any other fruit or vegetable. This phos- j
phorus is admirably adapted for renew-
ing the essential nervous matter, lethicin,
of the brain and spinal cord. It is, per
haps, f ir the same reason, rudely onder
tood, that old Scandinavian traditions
represent the apple as the food of the
go.L, who, when they felt themselves to
be growing feeble and infirm, resorted to
this fruit for renewing their powers of
mind and body. Also the acids of the
apple are of signal one br men of sedea
tary habits, whose livers are sluggish in
action ; these acids serving to eliminate
from the body noxious matters which, if
retained, would make the brain heavy
and dull, or bring about jaundice or skin
eruptions and other allied troubles. Some
such an experience must have led to our
custom of taking apple sauce with roast
pork, rich goose, and like dishes.
The malic acid of ripe apples, either
raw or evioked, will neutralize any excess
of chalky matter engendered by eating
too much nieat. It nalso the fact that
such fresh fruits as the apple, the pear
and the plum, when taken ripe and with
out stig-ir, diminish acidity inthestcm
ach rather, than provoke it. The veget
able salts and j atces are converted into
alkaline carbonates, which tend to coun
teract acidity. A good ripe raw apple
is one of the easiest of vegetable sub
stances for the Btoiuach t deal with, the
whole procesa of its t'igestion being com
pleted in So minutes. Gerard found that
the "pulpe of roasted apples mixed in a
wine quart of faire water, and labored
together until it comes to be as apples
and ale which we call lambeswool
never faileth in certain diseases of the
brains, which myself hath often proved
and gained thereby both crownea and
credit." "The parirg of an anp'e, cut
somewhat thick, and the inside whereof
ia laid to hot, burning or running eyes at
night, when the party goes to bed, and is
tied or bound to the same, doth help the
trouble very speedily and contrary to ex
pectationan excellent secret." ,
Poultice made of rotten apples is of
very common c-e in I.inconshire for the
cure of weak or rheumatic eves. Like
wise, in the Hotel des Invalides, at Paris j
an apple poultice ia used commonly for I
inflamed eyes, the apple being roasted !
and its puip applied over the eyes with
out any intervening -substance. Long
ago it was said apples do easily and speed
ily pas through the belly ; therefore they
do molify tbe belly : and, for the same
reason, a modern maxim teirew-tilac
"To eat an apple going to bed, The doctor
then will beg his bread."
Bread from Wood.
Science has already enabled man to ex
tract fiery beverages and many other
things f more or less value from wood,
and it is now proposed to go a step furth
er and produce bread from wood. In an
address recently delivered in Heidleberg,
Germany, by no less eminent an author
than Victor Meyer, it was announced
"that we may reasonably -hope that
chemistry will teach us to make the fibre
of wood the source of human food."
What an enormous stx-k of food then,
would be found, if this becomes possible,
in the wood of oar forest, or even in grass
and straw. The fibre of wood consists
essentially of cellulin. Can this be made
into starch ? Starch has essentially the
same percentage composition, but it
differs very much in its properties, and
the nature of its molecule is probably
much more complex. Ceilulin is of little
or no dietetic value, and it is not altered,
like starch, in boiling water. It really
gives glucose when treated wita strong
sulphuric acid, as is easily shown when
cotton-wool, which is practically pure
cellulin, is merely immersed in it St irch
gives the same product when boiled with
weak acid. The anthor further quotes
the researches of Hellriegel, which go to
show "beyond dispute that certain plants
transform atmospheric nitrogen into al
bumen, and that this process can be im
prove by suitable treatment The pro
duction, therefore, of starch from cellulin
together with the enforced increase of
albumen in plants would, he adds, in
reality signify the abolition of the bread
question. The MiUing JlttmJ.
Atchison Again.
There never was a new baby that
wasn't pretty. Newspapers are apt to
say they are handsome if the father
brings in good cigars, but they are not.
The world is progressing. Women
now meet and demand their rights. A
hundred years ago men whipped their
wives for such presumption.
When a girl is little and bashful her
mother makes her play with the boys,
and she don't want to, but w hen she is
large and want to play with the boys ;
her mother don't want her to.
A well-dressed woman never seems to
have too much on.
There is a woman in Atchison so prim
itive that when she cuts her little boy a
pair of pants she lays him flat on the
cloth and chalks the size and shape
around him.
There is nothing a Kansas woman likes
better than a mean man who is willing
to be reformed.
A man is more apt to be what his ene
mies say he is than what he himself says
he is.
When a man prays for punishment for
his sins, it is evident that he is a hypo
crite. AH children hate a model child.
It is so much easier to forgive a big
man than a little one.
In a Sick-Room.
Nothing is gained, and mnch time that
is very valuble is wasted, by allowing
ourselves to become nervous and enable
to be of the slightest use in the sick
room, says a writer in Good Ilmttekefpfr.
A'.thcugh we may consider a person too
ill to be aware of what is taking place
about them, they are oftentimes fully
cognizant of the merest trifles, and al
ways more or less susceptible to any and
al! things going on in the sick-room. For
that reason conversation about the con
dition of the patient carried on in the
room in whispers, or in any mysterious
manner, should be avoided and aa air of
quiet cheerfulness always maintained.

end in pea"e- child of want ever
came to her door and was turned away

but was comforted. No one asked ber
the way to be saved but she pointed hint
to the cross. When the angel of I f
came to a neighbor's dwelling she was
there to rejoice at the starting of another
immortal spirit When the inwl of
death came to that dwelling she was
there to robe the departed for the burial.
We had often heard her, when leading
family prayer in the absence of my
father, say : "0, Lord, I ask nvt f r my
