"Ofconr-e Mr. Mar ryatl his no idea of asking me ; why shou'.d he hare? And if he did, I shouldn't accept him." "Miss Betty Eaxter," monotonccsly chanted Ten'.ope, "who refused " "Penny, do be qiiet:" said Avice, stamping her foot in gtnnlne annoyance. "Yoa know witat I mean." "No, I don't" said Penny, "and I don't believe yoa know yoarstif." "He sail it was leap year," pLiaJeJ indignant Avice. "Sj it is," said Penny. "Jet the alma nac and look, for yoaraelf. Foar Into eighteen hundred and nicety two goes ," "Penrlope," crie-I Avice, "can yoa not talk eomaion sense 7" "To be sere I can, If yon will set me the example!" gravely responded Miss Pax ton. "Anl he tol l Doctor Darien he wasn't coming to oar party to-morrow niht be cause he didn't want to be niarr.ed against Lis will." "Vtr'1, ailer ai', there's something in that." said Penelope, reflectively, "I never was a man myself, bat I can im agine that, under such circumstances, a coll shiver woa!d go all thronzh me." "Tenny," aid Avice, solemnly, "do you nailly, seriously think that one of as girls ever thocght of marrying John Mar ry att?" "That is a question I Am not prepared to answer," sai 1 Miss Taxton. Avk ran out of the room, and was snrprised to find herself .crying over the clove-scented blo-onia of her favorite carnations in the bathroom window. "I'm sure I don't know why," sobbed she. "I hate John Marryatt, and I think it was horrid of Doctor Ihiriea to go and repeat what was said to him in confi dence. And if John Marryatt really be lieved that there, indeed ! Why do people talk such a string of nonsense be cause the month of February happens to have ?) days in it instead of 23." Ia the meantime Mr. Marryatt had packed his valise and gone offto visit An old ancle who was at the point of death. "It won't be a very cheerful .-isit," said he to himself, "but it will be better than a state of sitge for I have been told on g.jd authority, that every one of those girls mean to get engaed at the leap year party, the saacy coquettes ! It will be the old story cf the .Sabines over agsin with the sexes reversed. And when I marry if I marry I intend t have at least the privilege cf choice. So I'll just go up to Uncle Origen's." Uncle Origen's farmhonse was on the top ofa bleak hill, where a few dwarfed cherry tres shook And shuddered in the wintry blasts, and the cows huddled in the shelter of the hayricks to keep from being blown away. "1 think we are going to have a 3torm," ail Mr. Marryatt. "I'm quite certain that I smell srow in the air. And there Are more cheerful places during north east w ind than Uncle Origen's house." In fact, he was almost disposed to be sorry that he come, when he stood there knocking And thumping with thehAndle of his umbrella at the shrunken panels of the front door. Pretty soon a crooked old man, with his garments fastened with tow strings instead of buttons, came shorHing to tha door, and peeped suspiciously around iL "Eh?" said he, with one hand back of his poor old purple ear. "rears to me I heard somebody knocking, didn't I?" "Yes, it's me," said our hero, "John MArryAU don't yoa know T "MArried?" squeaked the old man. -To whom?" "John Mat ryatt!" distinctly re peitedtbe visitor. "II iw amy Uncle O.-igen T The crooked old man sheltered hi eindle flame with one hand and stared ai if he were gradually being transform ed into one hug" eye. "Land sake alive T said he. "Didn't yoa know? He was buried yesterday." Here was a cheerful welcome for a city visitor. "Bat whAt can I do?" said Marryatt, with a Lelpleas gaie down thedArkeninj ESTABLISHED 1827. hillside. "I came to visit him. I had not hear 1 " "Walk in, walk ia," said the old man, holding the flaring candle high above bis head, And flattening himself against the whitewashed wall. It pretty lonesome here ; but there's the deceased's chamber yoa can sleep in, and I trapped A rabbit this morning in the pine wood that Isa bella ia just stewing np, and " "Isabella?" repeated John Marryatt. "She's the old woman in charge my sister," explained the ancient warder of the castle. "Aint much to look at, but she's a proper good girl." "But," said Mr. Marryatt, "I don't think I cure about sleeping in the room where Uncle Or-'gen died." The old man stared at hiai with dull glassy eyes. "Eh?" said he. "Why not? Yoa don't believe in spiritaiism, do you?" "Nonsense f t ried Marry atL "Then why ain't one room as good as another?" asked the old man, stolidly. "Xeverthe'es, I would m:tch rather go to the nea est hotel," ioi patiently ut tered John. "Ain't none short i seven ruiie," said the old man. "And that's only a sum mer machine. They don't run it arter the waterfall's fria np. Bat there's a freight train with a passenger caboose hitched on that stops at Cutting Corners at midnight." "Where is Cutting Corners?" "Elght'mile as the crow tiiea." "How the dickens do yoa suppose I am to get eight miles from here when it ispiuheil dark already ?" criel Marry att, crossly. "There's Jenkins one-hoss wagon," mildly suggested the old man. "I'm goin' to his place d'rectly arter a box o' stove biackiEg, a pound o' taller dips and a quarter o' a pound o' green tea for Isabella. I can tell Jenkins to come round and cart ye to the station, ef ye don't begrudge a crown." "By Ail means ; And while yoa Are gone Isabella can give me some supper." Marryatt sat down in the old, low ceiled room, where the rag carpet seem ed neither bn'nter nor dimmer than it had been 20 years ago, Aud warmed Lis chilled feet t'fore a blaze of snapping lo ; while oil Isabella, who miht have appeared creditably in any tableau as the Witch of Endor, crept around an iron pot, which swung from a prodi'locs crane and got sapper after a sio. ciam sy manner. "Pretty gay in town this winter ?" said the old woman, brandishing her spoon over Lim as he ate rabbit stew. "I sap pose so." "I'm thinkln' o' goln' there myself," said she. "To take a situation?" asked the young man, inwardly thinking that he could not recommend her as cook. "Blesyour heart, no!" said Isabella. "I know a sea captain there as ain't mar ried ; and tney tell me the gals is a" pick in' and choin for themselves now that leap year has come arouai. Anyhow I'm tired o' this place, and I don't see why my chance ain't as good as Any tjody's. Marryait starred at her in mute amaze ment, as he secietly deplored the sad case of the unsuspecting sea captain. "P'raps you wouldn't mind keepin' an eye on the fire," said the gentle Isabella, "while I just go and see if Simon has locked the hen Loose he's 30 forgetful." And she hobbled a ay. At the same time there came a loud knocking at theooter door, an I a stout countuy girl, with cheeks of that peculiar red which shines as if it had been var nished, very black eyes and coarse hair, walked in, weil wrapped np in a red and black plaid shawl, and a felt hat that looked like A damaged helmet. "I've come for Mr. Marryatt, said she, without any ceremony. Instinctively our hero Lacked up azainst the wall. ""What?" cried he. "You're Mr. Marryatt, ain't you?" said she. "That's my name." retreating still farther behind the stiiT wooden-backed chair, where Uncle Origeu used to sit and smoke his pipe. "Well, I've come for yoa. You ain't deaf, be you? I've come for yoa!" "Yes, but I" "There ain't no time to lose," bAwled this daughter of solitudes, sei.ing him by the Arm. "This here's your baggage T grasping the valise in ihe ether hand. This was leap year with a vengeance, thoaght our hero. With one desperate struggle he freed himself from her grasp. "I won't go!" "Nothing can compel me to go against my will." "You won't?" said the redheked damsel. "N'o, I won't," replied John Marry att "Then you will miss the train," .-ii I the girl, "and it won't be no fault of mine. Father has had the rheumatics, and I promised him I would come for you." "Oh, the train I see," cried Mr. Mar ryatt. "I didn't quite comprehend yonr meaning at first. Yes I'll come immedi ately." The red-cheeked damsel, who proved to be no despicable charioteer, rattled down the frozen mountain road with considerable skill and energy, reaching the solitary station just as the freight tiain came in sight, So Mr. Marryatt Arrived in townj ist in time to see the sun rise glow irradiate the red brick chimney tops behind the Ielevan Honse, "Not married yet," he said to himself; "but I will be as soon as possible, If she will have me. IU run no more such rkks as this r That very afternoon he called At Dr. Mere's house and proposed to Avice and Avice accepted him. Yes, she act ually accepted him 1 "Bat did you really say that?" asked Avice, feeling thAt it was her duty to Ad monish her swain a little, "that that yoa didn't want to be married against your will J" "Of coarse I said it," answered Mar rjAtt, "And I meant it. I don't intend to be married against my will ; I intend to be be married with it. And did yoa real ly say that yoa wouldn't marry John Marryatt for l aV-XO?" "And I wouldn't!" cried A vice, look ing ap with sparkling eyes. "Not for twice that money, bat just because I love him !" So they both were happy Aad Ianghed heartily over the adventures at Uncle Origen's house. When Penelope PaaIoo next saw the bride-elect, she chuckled and said : "So it isn't to be a case of 'Miss Betty Eaxter,' after all r Avice colore.! and said she "didn't kr.ow what ,M jb Penny eculd possibly mean." Subjects for Thought Ability involves responsibility. Power to its last particle is duty. To have a course marked oat before hand is to be prepared for difficulties. If we can still love those who have made cs suiter, we love thetn all the more. Lifting somebody else's burden is the best thing ti do to make your own light er. Men who undertake considerable tilings, even in a regular way, ought to give as ground to presume ability. To be capable of steady friendship and laMirjsr love, are the two greatest proofs not .inly of iroodnss uf heart, bat of strength cf tain !. Hope not to find in philo-ophy the end of the doubts which ptrpiex yon; for pLiiosoihy can only suggest problems j which the g-jepl alone can solve. j It is not a question how much a man j knows, but what use he can make of i whut he knows ; not a question of what j Le nas acqu:re:, an-t now tie i.a.s wta trained, but of what L is, and what Le can do. The love of Gyi can neither console, enlighten nor sanctify, nor even save as the love cf (iod indeed is to as as if it had never been, so long as it is not shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spir it, and mingled in ns by faith. He Was Entitled to It Many citizens of Illinois who attended the Minneapolis convention owe a debt of gratitude to Henry Evans, the Auora statesman, wtio presided over one of the doors of the convention. Henry is a strong partisan, and he ha3 a warm si ie for all Il'.inoisans. It soon became kn.-wn that Henry was taking tare of the X" Ii nois eontiturent in rojal shspe, and as a conse.jUjr.ee many a man who was un known to Evans imposed upon his g-Kd nature by gaining admission under tie plea that Le resided at some crossroad hamlet in Illinois. On tl.e second day of the convention A little, short, pudgy fellow brushed np to the door and said, "I have cciue all the way from Illinois to see tnis convention and I want to do it." "Do you live in Illinois ?" asked Evans. -Yes'." "Where is your home?" "Aurora. "Indeed 1 What is your name ?" "My name is Evans Hank Evans. "Weil, I arn very glad to meet yoa," rejoined the doorkeeper, "and if yon are iealiy Hank Evans I guess I will have to let yoa in, because I know Mr. Evans Is a stanch Republican and I would be sor ry to do anything to offend him." Thereupon be passed the insistent stranger into the convention hall, at the same time pressing into his hand a call ing card. The fellow's face was a study at that moment. j "Go in," continued Evans. "Yoa don't deserve recognition as an IIlinoLsan, but ! your qualifications as a liar entitle yoa i to a seat." Chirnjo Mul. Ingratitude. A citizen who is noted among his ' frien.ls forbeiaiof aa exacting tarn of mind made a contract with A truckman t j move his belong-lngs to another fiat f. .r ten dollars. After the moving was all ever the citizen sat down on a pile of 1 carret and cursed a little, duing it in as I low a tone hS possible, so that the truck man wouldn't hear him.

Besides having the distinction of be ing the first horse car line ia New York city the New York And Harlem, now cooimonly known as the Fourth And Madison avenue line, has the honor cf being tie first street railway in the world. The line was inurporated on April 2o, ISSI, and the first can were run in November, 1nT2, from Prince St. to Harlem bridge. The cars were almost like the stage coaches that were in use) then, each having three compartments. with side doors. They had leather springs, and the driver sat on the elevat ed seat in front and moved the brake with his feet. The first cars were built by John Stephenson. The opening cf the road excited a great deal of interest And the streets j stated, and the thief catcher, after pon alocg the rU were crowded with spec- j derag a few moments, observed : tators. The mayor and the members of the city conncil and other Invited guests occupied the cars. It was thought by many that there would be grt d'.iftVa". tv in st epping the cars aad avoiding ac- vidents U other vehicl-.

The driver of the first car, hav ing Lad some experience, brought his car to a stop easily, but the driver cf the second car forgot the lever of the brake and simply drew arl on the horse lint's and shouted "Whoai" The car slid aloe: and the torgue crashed into the forward car and caused the occupants thereof to jump out. No one was hurt, and the cars move! oa their way to Har lem brid-je. This is the first street car couision in recor .V w Y.rk S-l.'. Early Rising Not Always a Vir tue. Tho-ands of people have no choice whatever about their hour o: rising in the m . rr.ing. Later or earlier, that hour is fixed for them by the requirements of the oii.ee, the shop, or the c!a.-s rootn ; by the time-table of the railroad ; by the arbitration cf their employers or the ne cessities of their emp'oyeva. F xt in the cases manifold where personal liberty is enjoyed, it should not be thoughtlessly restricted simply because of the domestic tradition that early rising deserves praise and late rising blame. Breakfast may often be a movable feast without materi ally disturbing the routineof an orderly housekeeping day. Invalids, mothers whoce rest has been broken ly teething babies, and, above ail,- rapidly growing children, shoal 1 have tteir sleep out.
