RED ROSES.
Pear, let me linger here awhile,
Lo '. we have journeyed many a mile.
Thai I mirlil see oooe more
The gray old bouse where I was born.
And pluck this summer morn
The roses by the d.r.
Flow rich and red they are ! How sweet !
Like those fair blooms that used to greet
iy wandering, baby grace ,
Like tho? e 1 woie so long ago.
At simple feu and country show,
In girlhood's careless days.
My mother's fingers twined them 'roui.d
The clustering curls that fell unbound ;
My father smiled to see ;
Ah, love me ! I)ve me, darling mine !
I lost their love In winning thine,
I lost them finding thee !
It seems, dear heart, but yesterday,
We met In yon lone country way.
And loitered in tbe lane :
Love strnck Its made hour that noon.
Love set our ptilae b tun
Of mingled joy a-id pain.
How fain we were to leara the song !
Though all too roughly flowed along
The course of true love's stream ;
For eyes most dear to me on earth
looked coldly on thy modest wonh :
Then fled oor hapiy dream.
1 found It hard to choose between
Their hearts, that all my life had been
8o tender and so true.
And thine as tender, but untried,
Tomcrv'etheduuchtcriu the bride,
The old lore in the new.
I did not fear to eounl the cost ;
Thy love hath paid mc all I lont,
Uocd measure, brimming o'er ;
And yet 1 see this summer morn.
Through .ears tbe house where I was bora.
The rocs by the door.
Ah, love ! tby fove b like the flowers.
It fills my soul ith happy hours,
With color and perfume :
Iiut if I pull the leaves aside
I find a grief I fain would hide,
A tboru among tbe bloom.
Nay. dearest do not turn away.
Thou knowest ail my heart would say,
That sometime it must ache.
Come where the churchyard grasses wave.
And lay thou on their quiet grave
Ked roses for my sake !

" MARMYJ
BY SOPH IK SWLTT.
" If it were not for the Dodds and the
Dusenberry8 " '
That was what Miss Jane Pritchard
said when her niece, Nellie, wished to
leach the auminer scltool at Gil.-ad Cor
ner. And old Dr. Varnum, of the school
committee, said the same thine, with
grave head-shakings, when Nellie ap
pealed to him for the school.
" They're rough set over at the Cor
ner, and the Dodds and the Duaenberrya
keep up a perpetual quarrel, I'm afraid
they'd be more than you could manage,
my dear."
" Let me try, doctor. I'm not afraid."
And Miss Nellie drew her nineteen-year-old
slimness very erect.
The upshot of the matter wan that Nel
lie secured the school, and on the first
Monday morning when she " called the
roll " her heart heat a lively accompani
ment to the names of the Dodds and the
Dusenberrys. She had found in the desk
the book which her predecessor had used
and it occurred to her that it would sim
plify matters to call the names which
she found there, and see how many were
still pupils.
-There was nothing very alarming in
the appearance of the Dodds and Dusen
berrys who answered to their names on
tltat Monday morning. The Dodds were
dark, straight-haired little fellows, ol a
most serious aspect, from Ilosea, aged
twelve, down to Aaron, who was six, and
spoke thickly, by reason of having his
thumb in his moutu. . ion nair, snuu
noses, nd freckles seernid to be the
characteristics of the Dusenberrys Leek
(a nickname evolved somewhat mysteri
ously from Alexander), Leonidas and
Phebe Jane. In addition to these family
Characteristics Phebe Jane, aged ten, had
i remarkably prominent chin, and an ir
regular little figure which showed energy
and deteitnination in every line. She
Jr5is rear-sighted, and her eyes were
slightly crossed, ana it was this, probably
i)iat caused the slight scowl which tlie
r'riew teacher thought looked defiant. She
remembered the wise talks about physi
ognomy which she had heard at her col
lege at the time when the composite pho
tographs were taken, and said to herself
that if any one of the Dodds or Dusen
fcerry's should prove ' m re than she
loulil manage," it would be Phebe Jane.
And she adhered to this opinion, al
though Fbebe Jane showed a disposition
to be helpful, and was full of informa
tion which proved to "be more reliable
than that which the other children offer
ed. She Knew that little Lysander
Hocking was coming to school as soon as
his grandmother finished his new trous
ers, and that Sarah Ann Grindall wasn't
coming, because her mother " didn't
believe that the new teacher knew
beans."
Miss Pritchard had appointed Phebe
Jane; spokesman, liecause at every ques
tion she asked a babble of voices arose
from which it was impossible to obtain
ny intelligible Answer. - It was iramedi
tely evident that fhebe Jane had be
come an object of envy to the others.
Viola Cook,-the largest girl in the school,
" made faces " at her in the most open
and, unabashed manner and while Phebe
Jane stood properly erect, with her arms
folded behind Ler, Miss Pritchard saw
with surprise that her face was growing
scarlet and her eyes filled with tears.
ei, kni.infi that she had not said
linythine to wound her feelings, when i
TEmeTetta'Gooch, who sat in the front
seat, rote from an excursion on the floor
and frantically waving her hand for per
mission to speak, cried out, "Drusilly
Pepper's s-pinchin' her legs !"
i And at the same moment Phebe Jane's
.stoical endurance gave way, and she
swooped upon the offending Drusilla,
whose cries testified to summary punish
ment. After Miss Fritchard had tried to
administer strict justice, receiving from
Drusilly an explanation of her conduct
that Phebe Jane was " teacher's pet,"
she attempted to go on w ith the roll.
When she called Electa Dodd s name
there had been no reply of present";
and now, as she isquiied where Elects
Dodd was, Phebe Jane surprised her by
burstii.g-into tears. Miss Pritchard look
ed anxiously upon the Boor, thinking
that the revenger of partiality must have
again resorted to pinching, but Emeretta
Gooch again explained :
Sbe feels bad because Lecty Dodd
can't never' come to school any more.
She fell ofTn the hay-loft, and now she
can't walk single step. She likes Lecty
sad Lecty likes her, if all their folks is
ers,e
ESTABLISHED 1827.
WEDNESDAY,
a-fijjhtin' yd a-quarrelin' and always
was. Dodsea tried to say that Phebe
Jane pushed her otTu the hay-loft, but
Lecty said twa'n't so, and nobody dont
believe it, if Phebe Jane has get an aw
ful quick temjer. Itoddaes was mad be
cause Phebe Jane was over there ; sheV
Lecty was alwas jyettin' together when
they could. The Doddses and Dusen
berrys" Miss Pritchard interrupted Emeretta's
flow of information by calliDg the next
name. Phebe Jane womanfully swallow
ed the lamp in her throat, and pressing
her lips tightly together to hide her
quivering, stood in the same proper atti
tude, her little sharp elbows protruding
at each end, ready to answer the new
teacher's questions. Cat the very next
day Miss Pritchard had reason to think
that, after all, she had not been mistaken
in expecting that Phebe Jane would be
hard to manage." By that time some
thing like order and discipline had been
established. The new teacher was strict
in suppressing whispering and and all
communication. When a small wad of
paper came flying across tbe room, and
was dexterously caught by Phebe Jane
Dusenberry, who unrolled it and read
something written upon it, Miss Pritch
ard promptly commanded her to bring
the paper to the desk. After one instant's
hesitation Phebe Jate popped the little
wad of paper into her mouth, chewed it
determinedly with her small strong teeth,
and swallowed it.
This was the first open rebellion that
the new teacher had encountered. There
was a murmur all over the school-room,
surprise not unmixed with a delightful
excitement. It was " teacher's pet" who
had been guil'y of this most daring dis
obedience. " Phebe Jane Dusenberry will stay m
at receas," said Miss Pritchard, so calmly
that no one would have supposed that she
was inwardly sorely disquieted and per
plexed about what she was to do with
this small rebel.
After she had marshalled the others
out in single file to recess an astonish
ing innovation for the Corner school,
where they always had been allowed to
go out with a rush and a loud whoop
at the touch of the teacher's beil Miss
Pritchard returned, with a troubled mind
to Phebe Jane, who sat with a stuidy
and defiant f ir before the window, on
the other side of which some laughing
boys had already gathered, and little
Aaron Dodd's scornful face was raised
as far above the sill as his extremely lim
ited height would permit The teacher
waved the boys away with imperative
gesture.
" La ! you needn't trouble about them
young ones. I can 'tend to them," re
marked Phebe Jane, with a calm supe
riority. Phebe Jane, why didn't you obey me
when I told von to brins that naver to
my desk ?" asked Miss Pritchard.
" 'Cause I wa'n't s-goin' to have any
body know what was wrote on that pa
per," said Phebe Jane, firmly. "I ketch
it on tbe fly, so't Leek couldn't get it.
I losy Dood he thro wed it to Leek ; be
was mad 'cause Leek got above him, but
sence he -beat Leek i-hoosin' sides he
won't say no more. But if Leek had read
what was wrote there, he'd 'a' carried the
paper straight home to Hash. Our Hash
be'sSsaid he'd shoot Dt'i Dodd if ever he
heard of his sayin' again that 'twas him
that cut the underpinnin' of the bridge
over the crick time 't broke, and Dr'l got
carried off and 'most drowned. You don't
know our Hash so well as I do ! He'll do
what he says he will, and there ain't any
stoppin' him."
MLsa Pritchard had indeed heard that
Ahasuertts, the oldest of the Dusenberry
boys was a lawless fellow, and th prime
mover in the feud between the tiro fun
nies. Hosy wrote that 'twas Aash that cut
the bridge, und that I pushed Lecty ofTn
the hay-loft I'm tellin' you jest what
was wrote, ain't I ? But you dont 'pear
to be one of them kind that tills all
they know. Bat I was afraid you'd read
it right out if I carried it to yoi. The
teacher we had last summer she xsed to
do that with every note she could ketch,
bo I wanted to mind you. I like you
real well, but, you see, there wa'c't any
thing I could do but jest swallow that
note. I didn't want to make you madjat
me ; I don't care for anything if I can
only jest keep the boys frctn quarrelin'
and figbtin'. It makes Lecty feel awful.
Me'n Lecty like each other ; we always
did. You see, it's awful loneme where
we live. There ain't many houses, and

what makes tlie boys tbim so much of
me: where girl's is Bca-ce, they do.
Hash snd Leek, they'll do anything for
me, except to quit figkirf Doddses.
There ain't no mother n our house,
either, so they call me Ma'nry.
" It's jest the same o'er to Lecty's,
only they've got a gra'motier. We got so
that we didn't darst to spetk to one an

whei they was all gone araj bat Gram,
and I went over to their b.rn, and Lecty

was an awful foolish story to tell, for if I
be quick, I ' never got mat vith Lecty.
The boys set out to drown a kitten that

fence.. They didn't, 'causi lecty cried

when I didn't want to go. There ain't
goin' to be anybody to home at Lecty's
but jest Gram, and she'll help us. . Gra
mothers almost always will help yoo.
Shell bring Lecty as far as tbe fence
there's quite a piece between Lecty's
house and mine, if the farms does joins
and then Huldy, our work-girl, will carry
her tbe rest of the way ; she ain't much
more'n a feather now, Lecty ain't, she's
fell away so. Some folks might not
think it was very great for Lecty to spend
the day with me, but Lecty will, and it
seems as i' I couldn't stand it if anything
should happen so she couldn't come.
You do get awful sick of such a lot of
boys as there is at my house and Lecty's
even if you do think a lot of 'em. And
it's so hard to bring 'em up right, that
you do want a Littles rest, with nobody
but Lecty and tbe dolls." . .,
Phebe Jane heaved a deep sigh of re
sponsibility, and Miss Pritchard repress
ed a smile. Her interview with her dis
obedient "kept-in" pupil was not what
nhe had expected it to 1, but she found
Phebe Jane's confidences interesting.
"Elder Doak heard what they called
me," continued Phebe Jane, vaguely
aware that she had found a sympathetic
listener, "and he patted me on tlie head,
just as if I was little, you know ; and says
he, 'bring 'em up well.Marmy ; bring 'em
up well.' "
With a sudden awakening to her duty,
Miss Pritchard touched tbe bell, and the
children came trooping in, looking with
round-eyed wonder at the clock, and con
gratulating each other with furtive nudg
es at the new teacher's ignorance of the
proper limits of a recess.
"I hope that Manny and Lecty will
have their day together," was the first
thing that the new teacher thought on
the morning of the Fourth. She drew
her curtain attide. when she beard the
rattle of wheels, and saw with satisfaction
all the younger Dusenberry boys in their
wagon, with Hash, a big brawny fellow
of seventeen, riding his black mare ail
on the way to Cumberland village. Even
earlier than this she had heard the Dood
boys go by, shouting and firing crackers.
She felt a little anxious lest they should
get into a quarrel at the celebration. She
did not know that Hash, penned in be
hind tlie wood-shed door by Marmy, had
held up his right hand, and solemnly
promised that he would not Hash would
not always promise like that ; when he
did, Manny could have a quiet mind.
She was at the fence almost as soon as
the boys were out of sight, and "Gram,"
a ta'.l, dark old woman, with a worn but
kindly face, was lilting over the fence a
fragile, wan-faced little" girl, who looked
all eyes and smile. Huldy's strong arms
caught ber, and Marmy went wild with
joy.
"You musn't keep her too late," said
Gram, "though I don't expect the boys
;n K v., iu nidming."
What a day it was! Hash had left
some fire-crackers and torpedoes, and
Phebe Jane had a secret liking for them,
but she gave them up without a sigh
when Lecty thought that they savored
too much of boys. The dolls' house
which Hash had built for Phebe Jane
was new to Lecty, and they had it out
upon the piazza, with no jeering boys lo
hear them play "come to see." And
goodnatured Huldy made strawberry
cake out of the sweet little wild starw
berries that grew ail about Gilead, and
cream pies with mountains of frosting ;
and Nap, the old dog, brightened up and
performed all his tricks, as if he realized
the importance of the occasion ; and al
together the day passed too soon, and it
was time to watch for the rockets from
Cumberland Village common.
As soon as it was "pitch dare" Lecty
said she must be carried home and Phebe
Jane agreed to this sorrowful necessity.
Some of the boys might come borne ;
Leek had a strong tendency to blow him
self up, more or less seriously, with fire
crackers and toy pito'is, and little Aaron
Dodd always got lost, so there was an
undercurrent of motherly an xiety amidst
all the felicities of the playhouse, and
some dread of being surprised as well.
"There don't seem to be so very many
rockets," said Lecty, as the watched the
darkening sky. "But look, Phebe Jane,
what a great flaring light, right over by
our mill stream I"
"It must be at the GrindaH," said
Phebe Jane. "They had fireworks one
year. See, it lights up the whole sky.
Oh, Lecty, it must be a fire .' It's your
mill!"
"Oh, oh, Phebe Jane ! Mary Butter
cup and her kittens are shut up there
away up-stairs! I got Gram to shut the
door, because Dicky Grindall was about
the mill with firecrackers, and he tor
ments cats."
Phebe Jane flew. She shouted fire as
she wert with all the breath she had.
She had seen Lecty spring to her feet and
in her excitement had scarcely thought
t strange. Now, as she heard footsteps
behind her, she turned and in the dusk
saw a small figure evidently struggling
hard to run as fast as she did. It was so
like Lecty that it filled her with wonder
and a vague fear. But she could not stop
to wonder or fear. There seemed to be
no one to come at her call ; men, women
and children had gone to the Cumber
land Village celebration ; but still she
ran on and shouted. And still the little
figure, trembling and etuiu biing -with
now and then a quivering sob breaking
from its lips, followed close behind until
at last it fell, a little heap by the road
side. ' '
"Oh, Mary Buttercup and all her deaf
kittens!" it murmured with s great sob
of despair. ' . '
: The Dusenberrys were coming home
from the celebration. Leek was riding
the mare now, and Hash was dangling
his lvg legs from the back of the wagon,
while Leonidas drove. Now and then
Hash would growl at Leonidas about get.
ting his feet upon a bundle which was
under the seat. It was some blue sprig
ged muslin and some blue hair ribbons
which Hash had bought for Marmy,
making haste to do it the first thing in
the morning, lest the shops should be
closed.
They were not in the best of humor,
for theeconemy of the Cumberland au
thorities had limited the expected grand
display of fireworks to a few rockets.
Before eight o'clock Cumberland Village
hade shown a disposition to say good
night to its guest and put on its night
cap. They were grumbling about the
"one-horse town," when the Dodd wagon
dashed by them, raising a cloud of dust I
Leek was urging Lis horse after thetnr
' "T7 v
Oil Ob JLiLo
with.au atiry exclamation about "'taking
their dust," when Hash savagely called
him back.,,. , , (
"Let 'em go-.. The horse are tired," he
said, j i . . r ,, . - .
: Perhaps knowing that the boys were
in a quarrelsome aiood, he had remem
bered his promise to Marmy. (Jtieer as
it was, she had even more influence over
that great bnrly six-footer of a Hash than
over the younger boyg.
"Well, if you want to take that fellow's J
sneers, growled LecK, as ne reme.t in
his horse. ' "He was niakin' fun of our
team. I ain't a lamb."
. No one seemed disposed to dispute this
assertion of Leek's, but H&th half started
from the wagon.
"I s'poxe I ought to put a frfcp to this
parse," he said, but he laid tack in the
wagon after a moment, drawing the bun
dle of bine na-jsltn out from under the
seat and using it as a pillow. .
"Look here, boys I" cried Leonidas.
"Gilead Corner has teen beating Cum
berland out and out on fireworks."
"What does it mean?'' said Hash,
standing np in the wagon and shading
his eyes with his hand.
"It means that Dodds' have got some
thing to do IscsiJeH sneering at folks.
Their mill's afire," exclaimed Leek.
"Here, glvo me the reins, Leonidas.
Make the mare go. Leek," cried Hash.
"Mebbe yon want to ! help IKxlds,"
sneered Leek.
But Hash only urged on the horses for
answer. .
The highway near the burning mill
was blocked with teams. People hail
driven home post-haste seeing the fire.
Hash left the wagon and ran across the
field,' followed by the boys. He could
seareely have told whether he meant to
try "help Dodd," or was only following
his natural impulse to run to a fire.
There was intense excitement in the)
crowd gathered about the burning mill.
" Twos a fo.ilhar.lv thing to do."
"He'll never get out alive." " T won't
lost a minute more." -'It was a cat anil
kittens she was after, and she dropped
them down iu a basket" "The stairs
must have gone down just as D'ri get up.
He's got the girl, though." '
"There they are id the w indow." These
were among the confused cries that Hash
heard. In the blinding glare he saw a.
little white face and a tow head in the
window.
"It's Marmy," he cried, and rushed to
ward the burning building. But stronjj
arms held him back, and just then a
great shout arose.
"D'ri hac jumped into the wattr with
the girl. "He's swimming." "There it
goes," the mill walls tumbled with a
crash "but he's clear of it" "But he'll
sink if he don't let go of the girl." "No
he won't ; they're helping him out now."
"Well, you wouldn't think that D'ri Dodd
would have risked his life for one of the
Unsenberry I"
Hash heard it all as if in a dream, as
he pushed his way frantically through
the crowd, and took Marniy's dripping;
motionless little figure from D'ri Dodd's
arms.
"I don't feel as if I was fit, D'ri Dodd,""
he said huskily, "but I'd like to shako
hands with a hero like you, and and tho
fellow that saved Marmy."
Tlie first thing that Marmy said was:
"Tell Lecty they're safe Mary Buttercup
and all the kittens. And, oh ! Lecy
walked ! She ran ! I saw her."
They thought that her brain was turn
edas if Maroiy's steady little brain was
likely to be! but they found that what
she said was true. They said that it often
happened iu cases like Lecty's that the
power of motion returned with sudden
excitement She might have relapses, she
illicit even lieconie helpless azain, but it
was probable that she would in time be
fully restored to health.
And in fact, in the last week of the
term Lecty answered "present" to her
name in the Corner school.
Hash says he "never will quarrel with
the fellow that saved Mirmv's life."
Elder Doak says it's a wonder to s-.-e
how Marmy brings up her boys.
It Was an Officer.
The late Cyp Whitman, who had a.
very pecnliar voice, was a member of the
Twelfth Maine, of the Department of the
Gulf. One day the regiment was out on
dress parade when a short stumpy officer
with short legs and a br iad expanse of
abdomen came riding past. Cyp allowed
his astonishment to overcome his discre
tion. "What is that?" he asked, in his in
imitable voice.
Instantly discipline, was lost and langh
ter reigned supreme. Cyp was arrested
and taken to the guard house and finally
before the regimental officers, and wa
asked r
' "Do you not know that military dis
cipline forbids you to speak disrespect
fully to an officer 7"
" And spain was heard that thin drawl :
"Was that an officer?"
. And now it was the officers' turn to
roar, and Cyp waj, dismissed without
punishment or reprimand. It is added
that the otlicer was Benjamin Franklin

WHOLE NO. 2010.
The Old Senate Clock.
. Another old institution is doomed. The
old dock of the Usitod Slates Senara is
to be discarded. Senator Ed mtindsi, Sen
ator Ingiills sod otherst le observers of
the flight of time, complained last Mon
day that the old clock coder tbe gallery
and ocr the uia nentra ice to the Senate
chamber had not been regular and reli
able in its performaaces recently, and on
the motion, of the SeniU.r from Vermont
a resolution was adopted instructing the
serjeant-at-arms to purc'.inse a now clock
to take tlie place of the old one.
This is an event of no small conse
quence. The duties which lie before the
future time-piece of the Senate chamber
are somewhat uncertain at present, but
they sire atire to be important and exact
ing. Heretofore the flight of time was a
matter of. little coDseq nonce in the Sen
ate. "The gentleman's ti ne has expired,"
is an expression which the auditor in the
House gallery will hear coining from the
Speaker every few minu'es ; but "The
Senator's time has expired"' is an injunc
tion which no m.tn has ever heard in the
Senate chamiier.
A resolution recently offered by Sena
tor Edmunds to limit npeeches on the
tariff bill to rive minute each may, how
ever, change alt this, and then the Senate
clock will havo important duties to per
form. It will be reiuind to be regular
in its habits, thoroughly reliable in iu
performances and always in good work
ing order.
The old clock which Ls now to be rele
gated to the limbo of things which have
outlived their usefulness, has in its time
rendered the State some important ser
vice. For instance, the Constitution
provides that every Coajriess shall expire
on the 3d of March, and that on the -ith
of March the life of tint new Congress
shall begin. But everybody knows that,
in practice, the old Congress works on
through the night of the :5 1 of March till
noon the next day, the rr.les making that
the terminus of the legislative day.
But even the liberal extension granted
by the rules has not sutisi.ed the insatiate
legislators. It has hardly ever happened
that Congress has got through its work
by noon on March 4. Before the act of
adjournment the President must have
signed all bills w hich need to become
laws, for none can be sigiud afterward.
The procrastination of Congre-w and the
final necessity of waiting for the Presi
dent's signatures have cunbined to pro
duce such a situation tl.r.t it some expe
dient bad not been found ontside the
Constitution, the laws arid the written
ruhs.the government would often have
been left without money to defray the
expenses of the coming y-iar.
But the expedient was found. As the
brass hands approached the midday mark
on tho blue dial of the old Senate clock,
Captain Bassett, the silvery-haired usher
of the Senate chamlier, would walk sol
emnly np to the clock with a long pole in
his hand and turn the bands backward.
The realization of the poet's wish, "Back
ward, turn backward, O time, in thy
flight," may be accomplished as well in
the future by some other clock and by a
long pole in the hands of some less fa
miliar usher ; but it seems proper that a
timepiece of such associations should not
be allowed to retire without a valedictory
word.
True unto Death.
An old, dilapidated prairie schooner,
or camper's wagon, fame creaking
through the December wind bound west
ward. The horses were thin and spirit
loss, and the driver who nat on a rough
seat under the ragged canvass, was as
woe-begone as they. H-j had Ixen a
handsome man, but his snd face and un
kempt clothing told too well the story of
sorrow and disappointment
" How far is it to the n-:xt town?" he
asked as he reached me.
'"About five miles."
"How are the roads? Can I get there
before night?"
"Perhaps' if you hurry."
The clouds were skimming across the
sky and a storm seemed ri ling on the
back of the north wind that blew fiercely
across the prarie.
" Guess I'll go on, though," he said,
after considering a moment,
He alighted from the wagon and com
menced fixing a broken strap of the har
ness with some cord he drew from the
wagon box.
" What Ls your hurry ? where are you
bound for?" I aked.
"I'm goin' to Smith eo jnty," he said
wearily, as he thought of the long trip to
the foot of the Bocky Mountains, "an' I
must get there before ti e first of the
month."
" Got some laud there ?"'
"No, something better. I lived there
two years, Mary and I. The hot winds
came, and the times gn;w hard. We
worked night and day, but it was no use
the sun dried up the ground, an' we
gave np, almotit. Then Mary rny wife
died. She tried to do too much, and
her strength- Wouldn't hold out." '
"And you were left alone?"
.."Yes, so mui.ii alone LuatI buried her
myself on our iktieckim, an'- then start
ed for the old home back e-wt to try and
make a livin. I lost my right to the

she was there. Now J mut go aud see
about it"

crude though his surroundings, his lone
ly vigil on ths western przr'es, with the
wide-spreading sea of gr.iss ail around
and only the tiny mound of earth to at

a picture worthy of an artist's touch.

Four Cent Weddintz Fee.
Rev. Mr. Woodruff and Rer. J. J
White were seated in the coy little par
lor of the latter's residence on onth
Third street, Brooklyn. They were dis
easing the marriage qne-tion and refer
ence was maile to tho numerous mar
riages solemnized by Mr. White.
"I want to tell you," said Mr. Wood
ruff, "a peculiar incident that occured to
me not long ago. A young couple pre
sented themselves at my house to be
married. After I had performed the
ceremony tbe husband gave nte $1. The
next day the bride called on me
aud said her husband bad made a mis
take, as it was his intention to give me
fo. 'Now,' said she. 'if yoo, wi'.le give
me the dollar back again I will take it
and return at once with the larger
amount' I gave her the dollar and she
went away, and that is the last I have
seen of her or her husband. I have done
nothing but talk abont the meanness of
that bride froci that day to this."
"I married I couple a few weeks ago,"
joined in Rev. Mr. White. "I had mar
ried the groom's brother a short time be
fore. The last couple brought a larre
party with them, and I thought I would
get a good fee from the groom. On re
tiring after the ceremony the yonng man
handed me an envelope. I opened it
and read: 'Mr. White; I am out of
work this week, but will come on Satur
day night and give you f .' I have not
seen him since.
"I knew a couple in Xenia, O., who
were married by Rev. Mr. White at that
place. After they had been made one
the husband said: 'I have no money,
but I own a large field of potatoes, ana if
it will s'tit you just as well I will pay you
for your trouble with some of them.' The
minister agreed to take his fee in putatiu-s.
The husband, true to his word, brought
Mr. White his fee in a peck measure,
potatoes at the time being worth twenty
five ccits a bushel. His fee for perform
ing the wedding ceremony was just four
and a half cents. My namesake often
told Die the story and laughed heartily
over it.
"I have married on an average about
seven couples each week. Sometimes
I have had two couples at a time. I mar
ried a man from Tremont the other night
to a young woman named Lock wood re
siding on this street The other day I
married a minister's daughter from New
town. Her husband was 21 years old.
I told her that I took it for granted that
she was a very good and pious person,
because she was the daughter of a minis
ter. She did not affirm, butsimply smil
ed. Continuing, I said all ministers'
children ought to ha good, though I ap
prehended there is a little human nature
left in them, though they are ministers'
daughters. I married three couples the
niht before. During June and Juiv
marriages usually fall off, but thus far
they have been my busiest months.
''Some of the couples who come here
are very liberal. I joined two young
jiersons in wedlock who walked to my
house and after the ceremony gave me
$10. Then I have had others who drove
here in their coaches who only offered
$2. You can always tell them by the
style they put on. X. 1. Worhl.

A Brighter Day for Farmers.
I nder this heading some encouraging
and truthful utterances are made by
Father Clarkson, agricultural editor of
the o'ci Slnte I-jijittr. He says that ag
riculture is taking new departures in its
various departments, and is struggling
for light and knowledge as it never had
done btfore at any period in the history
of the. world. For long, dark, and dreary
ages the tillers of the soil have been
drudges, beneath the respect or associa
tion of gentlemen or ladies. A brighter
day is dawning, especial! in the J'nited
States. There have been more improve
ments in the implements of agricultural
industry, in the agencies of farmiDg, and
in the quality of stock, in the past forty
years, than in the previous five thousand
years. And the privileges and possibili
ties ol this important industry are en
gaging the ablest minds and ripest
scholars. The mass of farmers are wak
ing np and straggling for new light and
better ways, and that com -Bonify or State
which neglects to participate in this great
industrial revival will soon experience
what is meant by the "survival of the
