" Nut as I will,'' because the One Vt ho loed us first and bet Is gone Before us on the road, and stilt. For us must all his love fulfill, ' Not as we will." LOVE'S TOKEN. "What are you doing, John?" John Turner was working hard at some thing and bumming over and over the same old eoi.g. "lie had but a sixpence ; he brak' it in two," to Lia own melodious Scotcj air. He looked up and smiled when Milly Gray asked him the ques tion, but made no answer for some mo ments. At last he arose and laid before her a flat, worn ten peace, cut in half ith a hole in each piece. ' You kno lovers always used to break a silver sixpence. Your song put n.e in mind. I've carved 'J' on your half and 'M' on mine, and you must find a ribbon to wear them next our hearts by, all our lives." "But you are not going awa', John?' "I hope not. It's a pretty idea, though isn't it ? Suppose they were my only tecpence, I wonder whether you'd cast roe off if I had only tenpence in the world, and that broken?" Milly, the shy, made no answer. Cut bhe. nestled a little closer to John and made herself basy w ith the bit of blue ribbon she had drawn from her pocket. Just then it would have taken a great deai to make her cast John Turner elf, and he could not tincy it possible that she could offond him. All their lives long the two lovers re membered that long summer afternoon, and those whispered conversations, and that s tunter home along the shore by moonlight as a little hi! of paradise which had somehow lost itself in this hard old earth. As days are very warm and bright sometimes befjre a Storm, so were these hours the sweetest perhaps of all their brit f engagement year. When they parted each wore the brok en tenpence, with the first letter of the other's name npon it, fastened to the slender ribbon of true blue. They were to be married in August, and it was now July. Miliy's white robe was made, and mimic orange blossoms lay in the draws of the bureau. John Turner had bought tho snug farmhouse of old (Jilutore, who had lost his wife and was going to the city to live with his eldest son, and had furnished tbe best room in a manner that awakened the envy of every woman in the place. There were but three Sundays more be fore the wedding in the old church, and the house w arming and the changing of those two lovers into husband and wife. Only three Sundays, and they had just broken a tenpence together and had spent that long day in the old woods and had gone home to lie awake and watch the stars and think of each other all night. And yet before those three Sundays were over they had quarreled. A little thing at first, and both only waitiog for the other to apjlogize. Bit you know the tiny blue fiame from a match may spread and widen into a 21 eat tongue cf fire which is strong enough to lick a city into ashes. rride and temper fanned the little an gry spark. She felt insulted. He thought it her place to given in. At last the end came, tn l loving each other still they pitted. Milly sent back John's letters and her engagement rine and a little parcel of gifts bedewed with tears as they were folded away, and he returned her tiny notes and the watch guard she had wane him. But somehow Milly never thought of sending back that broken bit of silver about her neck, and John kept Lis half also. He 11 never remember so small a thing I may keep that," thought Mil And John sighed : " She has flung her's away, I dare say, and as she can't know I've kept this I'll wear it yet" So the farmhouse was resold, and John Turner went away to sea, and Milly somehow women always have the hard et part Milly had to suy at home, an- fold away the while dress and the orange wreath, and hear condolences and prying questions, and ait iu the same pew in church, aud walk alone over the same path she had so often trod by her lover's side. But npon the stormy ocean or in the humdrum routine of weary house bold duties each wore against the poor, worn heart, that bore bo much and told so little, the broken tenpence with its tiny ribbon of true blue. Tor a long while Milly used to start at every step and fancy John was coming back to woo her again. For a long while, w henever the dogs barked after dark or the pigeoua rustled and cooed npon their perches, she thought they beard John in the garden path. But John never came. A nd one year passed, and two, and tour more, bringing great trouble, for her mother died, and with that ber father, who was very old, broke down and took to his bed, and she ssemed to be quite alone in the world. In another year she was an orphan and knew for certain that John Turner was never coming back again. She wai not poor, and was very pretty still ; con sequently many a young fartnar had tried to take poor John Turne-'s place. 1 1 w aa no use. Erea the fair haired clergyman' who firmly believed Miss Milly was the wife intended by Providence to preside over his parsonage, ha I no chance, though when be entered the farmhouse parlor his cravats were like snow and his little tender speeches all prepared and learned by note. Miss Milly was solid. ESTABLISHED 1827. to oa about his cold and had current jslly for tea, and the old servant, Aunt Pdb, played propriety in the corner with her knittinz, .and there was no chance for sentiment. By and by the f iris began to count Miss Miliy's age and declare that she really was an old maid, and the young men with "sparking" intentions went elsewhere, and Milly, looking in- her glass, knew that she was altering that her lips were not so bright, nor her cheeks so rosy, and that she was follow ing love like dream. "Bat bo," she taought,'than to marry Another w hile my heart is still all bis." And then she would draw Lcr broken tenpence fro n her bjaoui and kiss it fondly. It was tarnished now, and the blue ribbon faded and frayed, but the letter J was as plain upon its worn surface as ever. The place where Milly lived was not far from the seaside, aud from her win dow she could see many a gallant ship as it lay at anchor. Knowing that John Turner was a siilor gave her an interest in these she might not else have had, and in times of storm the tempest tossed mariners neverguessed how the pale lady who had watched the sea until dark lay upon her pillow praying for them. She had quarreled with John Turner she had sent back his letters and his ring but she wore the tenpence he had broken next her heart, now that ten years were gone, and was kind to every sailor. The Se; tember gales came on fiercely and suddenly one year, the eleventh of the lover's eeparalion. All along the At lantic coast old people still remember what a frightful year it was. Many a brave vessel floated a wreck; many another was swallowed by the ravenous mouths of the greedy waves. In the little church the place was full of sobs when in his Sabbath prayer the pastor pleaded for the safety of those upon the sea. And captain's wives who dwelt there and held their heads high at other times humbled their pride and sat fjr hours in the cottages of the common sail or's wives because they found comfort there, and Polly bad a stout heart and would declare that "her Jack" must come home safe, and "Lord love ye, Mrs. Cap tain, I've heard him say many's the good time there warn't no danger nowheie with the captain aboard and such a ship's plank under 'em. Danger? Of course not !" But with all the hopes and fears, and despite the prayers, the Lord saw tit to lay a heavy Laud upon those who sailed tlie sea that year, and at last, oneafuI night, a ship went to pieces on the rocks just below the lighthouse, an I though their own friends might be on board, and many in the town went half wild with agony, no help could be given until the day broke. Then the storm having lull ed a little there seemed some hope for the few w ho yet clung to the unhappy vessel. Boats wii. out, end wiUi the first load of benumbed wretches came the news that the crew were all appa rently foreigners, at whieh more than one sank down upon the sand to thank heaven. Yet they were none the lees kind to the poor souls. ' They fed and clothed them and opened their homes to them. Tue inn nearest to the shore, known as the Sailors' Retreat, was transformed into a perfect hospital, and thither cime the charitable ladies of the village with articles of fod and clothing for the des titute strangers and olfers of such acts of kindness as only women tan fittingly perform, Milly Gray among them. Sue came just in time, for a worn in with wild black hair floating on the breezj stood down upon the beach talking and ges ticulating wildly, while a group of well intentioned individuals stood around her evidently as obvious of her meaning as thoiuh 6he had siwken an unknown tongue. Tuere's Miss Gray," cried a sailor's wife among the number ; "p raps 6te kuows Dutch." The woman turned to MUIy and be gan : Yous parlex voua Fraucais, madame? "She is French," said Milly. "I think I shall be able to uaders.and her." Then the wild eyeed woman began her ule: There was still another sufferer upon the wreck a sailor who had been ill. She was sure of it. All had forgotten him, and he had been so good to them, so kind to her little K?telle, so pitiful of the poor bibe who died and was buried iu the sea. It was cruel to desert him. Madame would intluence the gentlemen ; they would send boc.ts to his succor, lis was a countryman of madaai's ou. In an hour it might be too late, for see the poor ship anJ the awful waves. All the saints in heaven would petition Uod to bless madame if she would intercede for her poorcountryman." Milly needed no persuading, and as soon as the woman's meanirg was un derstood a boat was manned and left the shore for the wrecked vessel. There, ly ing insensible in a sheltered spit of the deck, they found in truth a man a tall, broad shouldered sailor, within immense black beard falling over his bosom and his face pale as though he had been a corpse. Tney brought him to the seaside tav ern and laid Dim in an upper chamber and stood around him looking at the solemn sight of life so very near the verge of death. All was done that could be, but still he quivered in the balance, and when the sun went down was lying just as pale and senseless upon his pallet as when they took him from the wreck. There were others who were almost a bad as he, and some must watch with them all night, Among them was Milly. The long room where many a time squeaking fiddle and clatte-ing piano had set merry folks a -dancing looked like a hospital now, with a row of beds adowa it and stealthy footed nurses stealing from pillow to pillow one or two feeble candles faintly lit the room, and now and then a moan or the muttering of one delirious with fever broke tlie silence. That night one child died and was borne away to another room. Bat the sailor with the floating beard like black floss silk bad not changed for better or for worse when dawn broke. Then the black haired Preuch woman, who had taken part in the nursing came to Milly with something in ber hand. jtla, "Is madame a Catholic?" she said. So," said Milly, "I am a Protestant." "It is a pity," said the woman. "But madame is good madame will under stand. Around the neck of moruieur there he has worn a holylrelic Perhaps the priest blessed it. I have Been him kiss it often, and I remove it that it might not be lost, Madame will let me tie it about his neck ; it may restore him. Milly stepped back to give the woman room, and then she saw for the first time what she held in her hand. A broken tenpance strung npon a rib bon of faded blue, with the letter M en graved on its surface. That tenpence John Turner had cut in twain eleven years before. A holy relic indeed ! The relic of a love which had endured so long in two nnhappy yet constant bosoms. "You say he kissed it often ?' she said. "I hate seen him," said the woman. And Milly took it from her and knotted the frayed silk about the bronzed throat with her own bands. Then kneeling be side him she looked into the pallid face and knew it. The youth with smooth heeks and red lips like a woman had changed into this black bearded man. Care had drawn lines upon the brow. Wind and weath er had tanned it. Yet it was John Tur nerher John, for had he not worn that broken tenpence all these weary years? A great flood of joy swept over her heart, and she turned to the wondering Frenchwoman, and from her bosom dre her own half of the coin. 'Look !" she said. And being a woman, she to whom that other woman spoke knew what was meant as well as though long words had been wasted upon the tale, for there are lovers in France as well as in America, and they have parted coins for love tok ens ere now the wide world over. And in a woman's eyes, and her throb bing bosom, and her changing cheek, another woman can read by the light from her own heart the secret that is al ways our greatest joy or our inteusest sorrow. So after that, without restraint, Milly showered kisjes on the pale lids of that frozen face, prayed for his life, laid her pale cheek to his and c'uog to him as she might iatho-eold days when the faded ribbon on the broken tenpence was of a bright, true blue. Aud siill he lay like a statue carved of bronze floating death ward, as it seemed to all. And Miliy's kis-s could not waken him nor her prayers move him, and there was no hope for him in any breast but hers, so that it got to be the talk of the whole place ho the sea had brought J'hn Turner back to his old love to die, and how she never left him nilit or day, bat sat there with hishaDds in hers and her eyes fixed upon his face when the dawn broke and when the sun set at midnight and at noon. On'y and here old g wilps shook their heads aud girls' eyes brimmed over with tear -on'y to see him die at last. "But. dear reader, were that the end of my siory I would leave it unwritten anil aud leave you to guess it for yoursel f. John Turner did not die. One bright evening he opened his eyes and turned them on the face of Milly, watching so faithfully beside his pillow, and asked faintly : "Is this heaven 7" To Miily at that moment it seemed so. And ere the Christmas time came the old church beiU had rung a wedding peal, and Milly Gray and John Turner were made one, and iu proof of the long, years of remorseful remembrances and weary longing and unfaded constancy each had but to know that all the while that unbroken tenpence had been worn and treasured by the other. M. D. in !,i:f.:'o .Vr. Native Wit In a Street Gamin. Wit in the New York "young fellow," if sometimes brutal, is usually reidy and often i uaginative. An unraistakeable oriental, in turban, baggy trousers, gay stockings and tinseled coat, sat on a beiich in Madison square the other day, aa object of interest to all the boys, and apparently not displeased at the atten tion he attracted. .There came aloDr, presently, however, two rouh looking young men, and one of them, pau-iog in front of the stranger, looked at him in nndisi'uiaed astonishment. His first sur prise over, he called back his fellow, who had passed on, and said, pointing to the oriental, "Jimmy, git on to this." The eastern stranger's splendor seemed to call up 6oiii3 strange picture in the rearward of Jimmy's imagination, for his insiant answer was, 'Ob, Cinderella; pull his fringes." -Yr ort .S'.ut, Soil Production for 1393. The national almanac for the year 1 893, as Usual iu its annual issues, shows how the soil will produce, character of its yield, and what It will pay, from which we condense the following : Spring grain will be a paying vield. It will be a favorite year for barley, oat., peas and other leguminous plants. Wheat and rye, as winter grain, if where and when they were planted it was warm, will yield largely in stiaw, but not so fiir ia grain. All early sown grain can be pastured to sheep in tie spring. Fruit, in some places, will be abund ant in yield, in others only ordinary, and sti'.l others it will be a total failure. Hops will not be abundant GratK-s will not be a success this year, and the moon and Saturn are credited with the influence that will blight the crop. Fishing will be a failure in all direc tions, and all streams will have less of the fiuny tribes in them than were teen there for several years past. There will be few thundergusts during the coming summer. East winds will prevail, with slight alternations in west erly winds, but little will blow from the north. Disease will be slow in curing and will be moat virulent in spring and autumn, and epidemics will be numerous among cattle. These are forecasts which must be tak en for what they are worth, considering the reliable source from which we quote.

A Poor Mathematician. " Yes," said the society lady at a swell affair the other evening, "I've crossed the Atlantic Ocean eleven times." The smart younj man adjusted his eye glass and said : "Ah ! Born in F.ngland, I suppose? f?" "No, indeed ? Why do you ask "Becauase, if you were born in this country and had crossed the ocean elev en times, you'd be on the other aide now, don'tcherknow 1" The lady figured a moment on the tips of her pretty fingers, blushed violently and fled. Wanted to Repeat It. A certain small boy had told a lie. Very sadly his mother had reproved him for it, and to help him to resist terrpation, she said : "Now, my boy, if you ever fevl like telling a lie again, come to mamma, and she will help you to fight against it." The lad went olT with a sober face. Only a few minutes elapsed, however, before he appeared again, and with an eager smile, said : "Mamma, I want to tell a lie." "Well, my dear, tell me what you want to say," said the mother. "I want to tell that same old Ii over again," observed the boy. Hitrper' Mjj- The Buried Locomotive. Savs a locomotive engineer: "I once had an interesting experience with a quicksand. My engine ran off a low bridge near River Bend, about one hun dred miles east of Denver, and fell in a small creek filhd with quicksaniL A wrecking train came np in a few hours, but tbe engine had entirely disappeared. The railroad oflicia's ordered it to be raised, but it could not be found. We sounded with rods to a depth of over CO feet, but not a trace did we discover of the engine, which bad vanished as com pletely as if it had never existed. Four years later it was found at a depth cf over one hundred feet and raised. We then ascertained that there was scarcely a bit of rust on it, the breaks were few, and after a little tinkering it was put up on the road again. The sand had kept out the air and prevented the iron from oxidizing." Odd Ideas of Beauty. An Afiican beauty must have small eyes, thick lips, a larg, flat nose and a skin beautifully black. In New Guinea the nose is perforated and a large pitce of wood or bone inserted. Ou the north west coast of Africa an incision tuoie than two inches long is made in the low er lip, filled w ith a wooden plug. In Guinea the lips are pierced with thorns, the head of the thorn being in side the mouth and the point resting on the chin. Jhus Miller JUinlntUJ. A Little Girl's Experience in a Lighthouse.

WHOLE NO. 2166 Women at English Races. tThe women one see at the race here are the women of the fashionable world, beautifully attired escorted by gallant. They move about on the lawn, or pre side at their luncheon tables under the trees or over their hampers in their car rages ; they chat and promenade, take a light interest in the races, walk about tbe paddock and look at the burses, do the honors in a box or rest in their seats at the grand stand; but one doesn't see them hauling oat money to put on a horse or chasing around to find out "what's good in this race. "One doesn't see them consulting the tips in the morn ing papers, or Jack's tips or anybody's tip, or in any way showing that they are afflicted with a severe attack of gambling fever. The English women are the mout charming feature of the English races. They, with their lovely toilets and holi day airs, give it the garden party flavor that helps to keep it a sport instead of a buisness. But it's not in nature for them te al ways look on and never participate. English women have a finger in the racing pie also. You'd hardly suspect it to watch them at the races, but they do. They are usually women who go racing for the love of the sport and who know more or less about the horses. When they want to bet they ask a commis sioner, some gentleman who is betting for himself, or else some one they can tip for the trouble, to put a certain amount on a hotse for them. No money passes on the course. The "settling" is ail doue away from there and usually by letter and checks. Women who bet heavily and contin ually aud there are such transact their business directly with a bookmaker just like a man. But this again isn't evident on the course. When such a women fancies a horse she seeds a tel egram from her home the morning of the day he runs, making her bet or she wirts her bet or "oit'er'' from the course before the race. Usually, too, she's the eoit of a women who can retail the latest fashional'le ffweip iu piquant style, while her equine "fancy" U add ing to or subtracting from her bank ac count. There are a great many English wom en who bet in this way, an 1 who now and then stand to win tidy sums in tho early boots oa big races. Then there's a lot of playful impromptu betting at places like Epsom and Ascot. I've seen ladies lean over the front of the boxes at Epsom aud haud the shouting bookies who stand ia line in front of them sov ereigns and half sovereigns and name their hors.-si, to give the day z:st or "have it to say" that they were on a Darby or Oaks favorite. And I've seen Udiesgoing to and fiom the paddock Ascot stop to have a look at the shouting ring, and go up to some bookie and make a oet " just to have the experience," and the bookie would be "as polite as a basset of chips; "and the " experience" would be fiied away with those other wooderf al enes of heJg-l in lives liki filj 03 Jaut'oo or a dash into the s! u a , Lj I .
