WHICH?
BY MARY E. WOKFAT.
"It baa always seemeJ gtranje to me
that a youcg man of your social nature
did not marry. There are not so many
nowaJays that have a cage to pat their
bird in when it is caught ; but that
handsome ho tine of your should bare a
a mistresa."
" My mother ia tlie bent housekeeper,
and the dearest aid litdy ia the world,
Mrs. Bronsfhton."
I know that very w!l, and I do not
wish to cat the foundatiotis from under
the feet of my good otd friend. I was
merely thinking that the young should
have youthful companionship. You'll be
gcttinp gray, soon, Mr. Maylie, and then
no one will have yoa."
Ralph Maylie smiled. Ho was. used to
this sort of advice fro"m Mrs. Broughton.
She was a bright,' pleasant little woman,
happily married herself, and desirous
j that all whom she conside'red worthy of
the niga state ot matrimony should enter
into it.
-IU!ph and her husb-tnd were college
chums, and the intimacy had continued
since his friend marriage. It was Very

the Broughtons' ccwy sitting-room, and a
week rarely pa-ssed without finding him
there.

enthroned upon his massive forehead
and looked out of his wide, dark eyes,
while miugleil sweetness and strength
characterized the fui'.firm lips and nia.--ive
chin. ; r ' ,
A pause sncceeded Mrs. Ilroughlon's
lat remark. After a time Ralph said,
suddenly :
"The truth is, Mrs. Erotighton, I am
afraid to marry. I love my mother so
well that I know if I brought ft wife
home, end she did not agree with moth
er and treat her kindly, there would be
war between Ua. If either left it w ould
be the new-cotner, no matter how pas
sionately loved by me."
Hi voiL-e had unconsciously grown
very e:lear and emphatic as he Caiehed.
Mrs. Iirouhtoa raided both hands in as
tonishment. What a horrible stppesiion. I did not
think such tboaghfs conld enter a man's
head, much iesn yours ; ehame on yon,
Mr. Maylie,' to think any one cor.ld be
deserving of ?nch a fate. Bat there ;
it is only a talk, and I will not get nn
grr at yoo.' Why, it's a libel on woman
hood." But a new actor appeared npon the
pcenp, roused from her abstraction in a
favorite Ixxik by Ralph's raised voice.
It was a niece of Mrs. Bronghton's, who
had come to spend the winter with her
aunt.
A rosy, round-fitced little thing, whce
great blue eyes were as yet unshadowed
by the mysteries cf this wonderful hu
man life, co full of joy, yet oftentimes so
fraught with pain.
She came to tier aunt's side, and," steal
ing a eoA little hand into one of hers,
looked at Rilj.h curiously and wist
fully. .
"ilow lovely it was in him to love his
old uiother so clearly" she thought.
And, to her attnt great Mirprije, the
shy girl f-mnd, for once, her voice in the
presenceof a genlreman. i
" No, auntie : it isn't scything of the
tind. If any one loved very dearly,
; here? might be a feeling of jealoasy of
t n-other love, and that would make them
oi-happy." .
" tio back Jo your book, Christie. What

But CHriitie'did not mind her annt.
1 She only nestled closer to her side, and
butting her other hand in the mass of
siik'en curls which clustered around her
Wimples, and resting an elbow on Mrs.
Bronghton's knee, she leaned forward in
Uie glpvr cf the grate fire and gave her
'nod M Jed. attention to t'.ie conversa
tion, t i ; - .
The subject w as imtnediately., changed.
Mrs. BroDghton did ot care to have
the child's mind filled with ideas of the
life realities which would come to her
all loo soon in the future, upon whose
confines her feet were even now tread-
From this time it grew to be a favorite
fashion with Christie to study Ralph's
face from her perch by her aant when
ever he called. '
At .Ent he pail, but little attention

the expression of the innocent blue eyes,

all the strength of bis strong, passionate
nature.
One morning he came tn seek an in
terview with Mrs. Broughton Ibr the pur
pose of asking her permission to pay his
addresses to Christie. ' ' ' "
" I am going to fjllow your ad t ice and
marry that is, if the girl I love will have
me," he said u Will you use your influ
ence to cause vour niece to thick of aie
with favor T"'
Mrs. Broughton's face was a 'study
in its mingled surprise and deep per
plexity. u Yoa do not mean little Chriistie?
She's no more idea of marrying than my
own Fanny. Why she only stopped play
ing with dolls last year. Have any idea
of her ae? sixteen V
" My mother was engaged at that age,
and married at eevctiteen," answered
Ralph. "I do not eipect to win the
child ator.ee. If years of tbe most pa-,
tient waiting will do it, I ehal! be satis
fied." The young man's fate was so eager in
its earnestness tf exprcsMun, aud it is
manner was so Egitated that his friend
wavered from her intended discourage
ment of his suit, and proved truiy tint
"one who hesitates is lost."
Her answer was a favorable one. So
from that time Christie entered into
En enchanted region where love reigned
supreme, not in her own heart, but in
that of her lover.
. Invitations came to lectures and con
certs, drives and excursions. She was
chaperoned by her auut, who had the
F.ngiish iiie of the impropriety of a
young giii going into public places unat
tended by a matron.
At the end of a year Ralph told her
of his love. Surpr -ied and flattered ct
the preference of so elegant a gentleman
one, afso, who had numbered so many
more years th.in herself Christie accept
ed him, f-.-el'ii only a girlish liking for
him, and knowing nothing of the passion
of love. E.tlj-h was too eager a lover to
consent to delay, so afu;ra tjuiet wedding
at Christie's country home, they were
soon wt'.lod dovt n in cozy happiness in
Ralph's o'n house.
, Ilia mother was a beautiful old lady,
whose dignified demeanor was softened
by eyeij whose brilliance, had not
been marred by age coming, as it did,
from a heart whose cheery kindness and
cheerfulness time and trouble bad not
been able to destroy. ' ;
She met Christie with a mother's wel
come, and f r a time al! was pleasant and
happy within the pretty home. But oid
Mrs. Maylie-'s superior qualities of mir.d
and per n proved the rock upon wh! -h
Christie's future foundered.
After a. time she grew to love R.dph
with a worshipping fondness eeiual to his
love for her, and with the passion of love
came also the twin-sister jealousy. The
words she had heard Ralph speak so ve
hemently on the evening our story begins
kept running through her mind. She
tried to banish them, but still they re
turned with singular persistence " if
either left it would be the new-comer."
Alas! sheherself was the new-cotner.
It went on for some time, until Ralph
noticed that she was unhappy. Once he
came home unexpectedly, and found her
crying in her room. With some difficul
ty he drew from her. the cause of her
trouble.
" Did he love her a3 well as he did his
mother?"
Sudden as was the pain that shot
throaeh his heart at dise-overing that flaw
in bis girl wife, whom he had fondly
thought superior to the faults of woman
kind, he could not but draw the golden
hea l t ) h'.s b.-?at and ki the te-irj fr.ai
her heavy eyes. Hi had taken her for
" better or for worse," and no matter
how deep liisoan uiaappoiataient and
suiTering tniht be, s'ae should be happy.
" My darling," he said at last, " if you
are not satisfied, th'ngs shall be changed.
My mother has too mucli fondness for
me to bs willing to make ray little wife
nnharpy. Only do not let her know
that j on do not love her. It would be I

retreat, where I can cj.ne to yci once a
week. Mother h.ts often expressed a
wish to make her brother, whoso home
i3 ii Ohio, a visit. Maybe it w.ll prove
so pleasant that she will wish to remain
there." -
Chri.slie looked op at him through her
tears.
"But you will hate me fordrivingyoar
mother avray. Oh, Rilph, I feel so small
and insignificant beside her. Ifshe were
common, and homely, and stupid, I
should not fee! so."
Ralph smiled sadly.
" Eifen to please my Christie, I cauld
not wish my mother anything dillerent
from what she is. .
The proposed p!n was carried out at
once. Old Mrs. Mayiie speut bereujn
mer at her brother's ho ue, and Christie
w ent to the Cat skills.
Not once through the summer did
Ralph mention Iiis mother's name to his
wife. Just before it was time to aain
kindle the fire upon their own household
alur, Ralph received a letter from bis
uncle, pleading that Mrs. Maylie's visit
might be prolonged through another
year. ". : ' . . ,
IUlph read it with a sigh of relidf. He
need not wound that tender heart which
had, from babyhood, cherished bhn as
an idol, for still another interval, ' - '
When Christie returned h'Kn;-, she
found herself the sole mistress. No men
tion being made of her mother's return,
and months pissing without seeing her,
she concluded that R tlpa had made ar
rangements for her permanent alueoce.
" How he must love uae," she thought.
" If I had !ee:i asked to give op my doar
old mother, I oo-.ld not have done it.
Poor Ralph, and poor mother !"
Rainember that this little, inconsistent
Christie wa but a child, with all the dig
nities of woman's inozt holy estate press
ing npon her girlish brow, and jujge her
accordingly, gentle reader. . 1
Secure in Ralph's love, ahe began to
miss the kindly, helpful ways of his ban
ished mother, and after a time she stole
to her husband's side ' in the gloom of
twiiight before tlie lamps were lit. HeT
cheek burned with bla'sh9, which were
hidden by the friendly dusk, as she
whispered a precious secret in his ear.
"And, Ralph,"' he continued, "our
happiness needs but one thing more to
&ake) it complete, and that ia the pres-
ence of yoar dear old mother ia our home
flera
once more. If she were mine instead of
yours I conld not want her more.
As Ralph gathered his little wife in
his arms, and kissed her fondly, a silent
prayer of thanksgiving arose from bis
joyful heart to tlw t'.iver of All Good.
He had not only reg-tined his mother,
but he coo; I feel agiin that his girl-wife
was longer under tha cloud which,
struggle against it a-s he might, had dim
med the entireness of hisr love and ad
miration fir ber for the pujt few months.
He comforted Christie's remorse at her
treatment of her mother in-law by tell
insr her -that no one was really injured,
as he alone knew of ber strange change
of feeling toward her.
"It must have been a ipecies of insani
ty, Ralph, for I could not help it any
more than I could help breathing. But
it's all right now. We'll be the happiest
family in Christendom from this time
forth."
Young wife, let me whisper a secret to
ycu: A good, affectionate wo can be
relied upon to make a loving, unselfish
husband. IX) not begrudge a mother's
sh.'.re out of the infinite ocean of love
which fill? yo'tr lover's heart for you.

He Cleaned up the Office.
Dave Pitchard used to edit a weekly
newspaper in a little town not a hundred
miles from Cleveland. . It did not reqpire
all Dave's time to write the editorials, so
h hnnted up tbe local news, helped stick
type and oo press days took his turn at
the hand-press, just for exercise. One
day Dav'e was lookicgover the exchanges
and ever and anon cutting out squares
and parallelograms, when in came a
strapping big fellow whose scowling
countenance and careless manner of shut
ting the door would have convinced the
uninitiated that he was after satisfaction.
Dave laid down his mpet, stack the scis
sors in his pocket and smilingly said,
" iood morning, sir. '
"That ain't got a d -d bit of bearin' on
the object of my visit ; I'm in here to
clean oa this office."
"Good boy '. you're just the man I'm
looking for; you'll finds broom and a

"Old luny, ycu think I'm joking, do

your galleys and paint a nimbus cloud
over tliem lynx eyes of yours. That's
what's gaing to engage my attention for

kicked the paper-cutter over and distrib
uted a galley of dead "ads" over the
floor.
"Yoa will find a broom behind the
door, my acconiodaUng friend," said
Dave, raising a heavy six-shooter, "and
yoa may take said broom and clean out
this office according to your first propo
sition, and the better yon do the work
the lighter I'll pull on this trigger. See?"
"Drop that mortar, I was only jokin, "
said the big fellow, trying to avoid the

"Freeze onto that broom."

Breaking the Colt to the Cars.
One morning last spring a traveler ap
proaching a country railway station, no
ticed a man holding a yoang horse some
twenty rods distant from the track, npon
which a train was then standing. The
man's left hand grasped a strong leather
halter at the point where it is fastened
to the leading line, while hU right hand
held firm hold of a heavy strap buckled
loosely around the horse's throat. Tbe
man, who was speaking to the horse in
a low tone, presently began moving with
him over the open space toward the lo
comotive, which thus far had been per
fectly eilent. The horse's open nostrils
and erect ears showed him to be some
what excited by the strange apparition,
but he evidently felt assurance in his
keeper, by whose side he had moved
with short and nervous steps over per
haps half the distance between himself
and the train, when the locomotive sud
denly let oT steam.
The terrified creature turned like a
flash, and in so doing for an instant
swung the man's feet clear off the ground.
But before the horse made the first spring
in the opposite dirrction the man's feet
were again on solid earth and he kst
hold with neither hand, although the
horse dragged him beyond tbe place of
starting before he could be stopped. Cast
ing his eyes around at the still hissing
locomotive, the horse again sprang for
ward, but could no more free himself
from the roan's hold than a rat couid
escape from the teeth of a terrier. After
a few more futile attempts the horse
again turned around, and this time foand
himself able to endure the sight of the
locomotive. Thus he stood lor perha;s
two minutes with staring eyes and quiv
ering muscles. After a little the steam
was shut off, when the man loosed his
hand from tbe strap around the horse's
threat, and began stroking his neck, stiil
speaking to him in the seme low-toned
voice. . ; .
Soon the horse became quite composed,
whereupon the man, again grasping the
throat strap with his ritdit hand, urge I
him toward the train as before. With
many stops and snorts of inquiry the
horse permitted himself to be again led
toward the locometive, which, when he
was about the same distance from it as
the other time, burst forth into a 06CO nd
hissing, quite as load as tbe first. Aaia
was repeated the scene already described,
but the horse did not drag the mao so
far as before, cor did he require so long
a time in which to be quieted. The
steam soon shut of again and the man
and horse once more approached the
train, which now moved away from the
station. The List glimpse of them show
ed the horse watching the now accus
tomed terror and the man by his side
still grasping the head of tbe leading line
and stroking the horse's neck a beauti
ful and expressive illustration of the
powt rover an intelligent animal of man's
coor.'ge, kindness and patience. Amrri

The Fail PL
One of the best payi;;, animals on tha
farm is the pig. He can d gest alruest
every kind of refuse pnvluced from the
Jarru ; he works op leaves, weeds and '
sods into fine manure, and, when the ani
mal ia slaughtered, svury partule o -tcaa
be made see iL They are prodLable, but
they are ao'oaty when rigbf.!y ed and
Bianaged.Our nsual plan' U .to allow
them the run Tof the woods during tbe
summer and fall month', as an immense
amount of nutriment can always be foam I
by theie industrious animals, such as
ruots, trasae- rf varioua"'rinttv!'acd-tbe
nutslfrom many. varieties of t.-ees. They
are fed, in addition, good swill-feed slop,
night and morning. Thisj slop is made
by placing half a bushel of good feed into
a barrel of water, and when siightiy fer
mented, fad as wanted. Nothing in ail
our experience wil'lso tcour, young pigs
specially, and stunt older ones, too, as
old tancid slop, and the hog cholera U
brought on by just aujh feed and by feed
ing in filthy pens and yards. The n an
that cares not to feed lus stuck on decent
food, don.t deserve to have any ; and he
rarely succeeds in getting a protit out of
them, as some mysterious disease usually
makes its appearance and sweeps t.;
ilo k of hogs or pig, as he calls it his
luck, when most of the.time it can be
traced to bad food and worse surround
ings. Whilst hogs and half-grown pigs may
run together in the wowtlsand thrive by
such treatment, the sows should be
brought home some time before they pig
and pot into separate and comfortable
pens and a variety of g-xxl, wholesome
food, and made tame by daily going into
their pens and robbing theuVwith straw.
Charcoal or old barnt wood should be oc
casionally given them ; it corrects the
rancidity of Iheirstotnachs, and is a gr at
help to them in other ways. We feed, in
addition to what slop they may need, and
only as much as ran be eat up clean, sonm
sweet cornstalks, and all cut from the
ground. The stalk has a goodly atuotitrt
of sugar in r!, and M a niut lt telis'icd.'as
the ears of corn. When the sow is near
pigging, care should be taken to have
some tine-cut straw thrown Into tiie pen,
and only a little, so that the little? fellows
may not be lost in the straw and smoth
ered or laid upon. Only a moderate quan
tity of food should be given the sow be
fore and after pigging, and she should be
watched to see that, she cares for her
young. Some, if they have not been ted
properly, will eat thir yonnz, and if the
pens are not built tight, and tbe tittlt
pigs get out among the other pig, they
will be eaten by theru. An old German
gave me a cure for sows eating their pigs,
and it is to give them meat some days be
fore they pig, though I find thst it is
mu'-h the beat to fatten and slaughter all
such wild ones.
After the pigs are a few days old they
should be allowed a little milk wiLU cats
ground fine and made Into a thin s,)..
This is one of the best kind of foods, as it
contains all tbe materials that go to make
up the pig, and we find that it is equally
good for all animals, young and old, on
the farm. Ia addition to this food we
give a Tittle oats whole, in a clean p!.s.::e
on the floor, as it is a change, and, fal
lowing the example of the Biother, they
will soon learn bo eat thera greedily.
Small potatoes, pumpkinsj sugar beets,
and mangels, and turnip?, aro boiled no
in a laisge boiler, and, -after they are
thoroughly cooked, these vegetables an
mixed with several bash els of a mixture
of equal parts of grouad oats, corn and
mill feed. This is a very good food an-1
fattens rapidly. Th'i3 boiler is situated in
the market boose, and we use it Sr a
variety of purpose? for boiling feed an 1
water, for scalding hogs, and f r keening
the roora warm when we are preparing
vegetables for market. It consists of a
large iron pot, holding some forty g.iHona
into which water can be pumped right
from the well. It is bricked up, s that
the hot air can circulate entirely around
it before going out of the chimney, and
by so doing the entire heat is pretty well
used up before it escapes. Taereare many
