"Too may call it what yon please, but I do not consider myself bound to Dr. Anderson in any way," said Meta Erwin to her aunt, Mrs. Apple ton. Tbe voice was low, quivering, and yet with a ring of resolution under its evi dent timidity. "I most say, Miss F.rwin, that lam astonished." This exclamation being a standard one and Mrs. Appleton appearing to live in chronic state of astonishment, Meta made do reply. Presently ber aunt said, in s whine such as is often tbe proof of simu lated grief: "Your dying father " Mela's voice was firmer cow as sbe in terrupted : . 'My father's mind wis weakened by long illnestt, and wben be joined my band and fr. Anderson's on bis death bd, be thought be was securing my fa tare bappinece. in giving me a wealthy husband. You know, I know, and Dr. Anderson knows that be was not quite sane. 'Hut you allowed it." 'Was it a time to mike a scene ? Dr. Anderson is quite well aaare that I do not consider the act to bind bitn in any wtv." I thick you are the mott headstrong girl I ever knew. It is to be hoped yoa will come to vour senses some dav." "Perhaps I may. Very wearily tbe last three words were spoken, and Meta rose slowly and step ped from the low French window out upon the porch. Straight before her, scarcely a stone's throw from where she stood tbe broad ocean glittered in tbe rays of a setting sun, while gorgeously tinted cIoqJs were banked np high in the distant horizon. "Oh, Cousin Met, come for a walk!" cried a clear, boyish voice, and Freddie Appleton, in stripe I shirt waist and knee breeches, his pretty face shaded by a wide straw bat, popped np from under the porch where be had been making a clarn-sbell castle, with a boyish disre gard for cleaalineas. ' "Get my hat then, Freddie V Met said, and the youngster scampered up stairs, soon returning with a sundown, covered with crip-wLi:e muslin and tiny pink bows, under whose shade Me ta's lovely blonde face awakened Fred's admiration. "Yon look just good enough to eat in that sundown. Cousin Meta!" he cried. "Sol think, Fred! Lets eat her!" A third voice this one, and Fred danc ed a little jig on one foot, crying : uh, Mr. Warren, when did you come ?' "t.)a the last train. May I join tbe j stroll I see is in contemplation?" j Little Meta, whose eyes bad lt all ' their weariness in shy, happy light whose j cheeks were softly tinged with rose color, whose lips were smiling tremulously, ac cepted the offered arm, and the little party walked out upon the beach. Thai is to say, Herbert War -en and Met walked, while Freddie darted here and there, finding shells dicing up clams, coqaeting with incoming waves, enjoying himself with all child's enthusiasm. It wan Dot a fashionable watering-place where Mrs. Appleton bad come for tbe summer, but a lone place upon tbe At lantic coast, that deserved a more musi cal name than Raggle's Bocks, but never got one. The rocks rose sheer nda h g at eioh end of a wide stretch of beach about two miles in length, and there were only cottaet and fishing cabins about, neither hotels nor board ing houses have yet risen at Buggies Rocks. F.at Mrs. Appleton bad heard of the place, and bal come thereto rusticate, where Freddie need not be always dressed np, and she could loll on a sofa and read, without the ne cessity of being ready to meet company at any hour. Meta, with ber heart sore and angry over tbe complications in ber love aSairs, was willing to go anywhere away from Dr. Anderson and New York. Three years before, when sbe was but sixteen, ber father, dying, bad requested ber to give her hand, and before she guessed bis intent had put it in that of Dr. Anderson whose love suit sbe had already refused. Do not agitate bitn. It would be fatal!" the doctor bad whispered ; and sbe obeyed him. Later ber lover bad taken no ad ran tage of this implied betrothal, ever ber courteous friend. Bat Mrs. Appleton, knowing the doctor's parse to be long and well filled, and Meta a patrimony a small one, had insisted upon regarding this parental act as forming a binding en gagement. And Met, mourning her orphanhood, had left matters drift on, content that Dr. Anderson understood her, until just three months before that stroll at Baggie's Rocks, she was intro duced to Herbert Warren, a young law yer, but recently admitted to the bar. "A man with about six hundred a year independent of bis profession, with out one scrap of beauty, actually red headed, ' Mrs. Appieton's whined "a mere nobody. And Henry Anderson is the handsomest man in our et, not more than thirty, and independently wealthy And yet Meta loved Ileroet spite of his red hair, numerous freckles and narrow parse. The handsome gentlemanly doc tor with ber friend, heartily respected and admired, bat in bis three years of patient devotion he bad never woa the place in little Mela's heart that Herbert Warren bad filled before his frank, brown eyes had met Meta 'a blue ones half a dozen time. set ESTABLISHED 1837. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1893. On the beach as the sun sank slowly and the tender twilight gathered to tbe music of the sea, Mela knew that Her bert was not a man to seek to bind maiden until he had spoken to her guar dians, but he said such words as no hon orable man speaks nnless he loves, and Met went over the sands homeward with her heart lightened of all doubt acd fear. "To-morrow !" she said softly, at part ing. But to-morrow be was gone. He van ished as suddenly as he had came, and sbe could only wonder, her cheeks grow ing whiter each day, ber eyes heavy asd mournfuL So the sunmsr wore away, aa j ia 0z- tberthe Apple'on's were at hoineajain, Uocle John, shaking bis held said : "Mela's summering don't seem to have pat the ci'.or intj her chills," bat nsrer guessed the ren. Ani Meta, sitting alone in the little extension-room off the parlor, only one, day after her return, wondered if folks di d of a broken heart at nineteen. Freddie found her so, -ery disconso late. My head aches dreadfully," she told hiin, and be pulled oat all the hair-pins. showering the waving, golden tres es over her white morning dress. Now I'll bathe it w ith Florida water, same as mimuis does wnen her bead aches," he SAii;a.id Meta submitted lying upon the wide lounge while the loving little hands caressed her burning head. She closed her eyes at last, and Freddis tiptoed out of the room and down tbe wide front step, It was not late into tbe forenoon when Henry Anderson, writing in his office. was disturbed by a shrill call of: "Dr. Anderson I wy 1"" "What do you say, Freddie ?" be ask ed, looking up. "I say our Meta's awful sick. Won't you come and make ber well ?" "Awful sick Freddy?" The strong man's lips pale 1. He bad kept his love down with an iron will, aopingone day to win its snswer; but it rose ap trie and strong at tbe thought of his beloved's suffering. "Well, she's got an awful headache, anyway, and she's white as a sheet, and has been all summer at least, nearly all summer, r-he had a pretty pink in her cheeks the day Mr. Warren came. Bat she keeps crying. I citcn her crying often and often, and she always says she has a headache." "Did she send you tor me, Freddie?" "So ; I j ast corned mysel f, because she's real down sick, lying on the lounge. And if you are going to marry her, you'd better mase ber well. I woald. "Who said I was going to marry her?" .Such a hoarse voice, such a salfocating tension on the faithful heart! But Freddie answered. "Mamma told Mr. Warren so. I war reading a fairy book, but they didn't see me. and I was kinder tired, because we'd been walking ever so long, me and Meta and Mr. Warren. And he told mamma he loved Meta, and she said Meta bad been engaged to yoa for three years ; and he got mad oh, wasn't he mad ? Called Meta an outrageous flirt. I remember. And he marched off with Lis head in the air and his nose stuck up, and never come back." "And Meta has bad headaches?" "Awful bad." -Well, 1 will callanl see her, Fred die." Satisfied with the result of his setf imposed errand, Freddie marched off, while Dr. Anderson, white and grave, with set lips and resolute eyes, put by his writing and went out. Fully two hours later he crossed tbe draw :;g-room to the extension, where Mela ati.l fought the headach and heartache. She was seated in a deep arm-chair, her waving golden hair falling looseiy over her shoulders, her face deathly pale with rings of pain under the eyes. But a quick crimen tlueh rose upon cheeks and brow, as she sprang hastily to her feet at the sound of Dr. Anderson's voice. "Let it alone," he iid, gently, as the little white hands gathered op tbe loos ened hair. "It must be easier so if your bead aches. Freddie tells me you are not well." Already the surge of pain in ber throb bing temples had forced her to resume her seat, sick and giddy, but Dr. Ander son's strictly professional expression and tone put ber at her e&se. "It is onlv one of rov stupid bead- aches," she said. "I have thern often." "Bat I never heard you complain of j them before, Meta." "No I I think the s?a air did not suit me." "But fresh air will suit yoa so," he sai 1 gravely, opening a window, and roll ing her chair near to it. "Now yoa will drink this!" and he brought a glass of k-ed water in w hich he had poured some pungent-smelling medicine. "So yoa are better ! he said. present ly, as the asby pallor left her lips and cheeks. Yes, I am better. Yoa are always kind to me!" the said, humbly, heenly aware of the motive for bis kindness. T would be very kind to you, if you would let me, be said, gently. "I woald rectify a mUlake that is breaking your heatt. Meta, yoa know I lore yoa. It U an old story, dear, but yoa will hear it no more from my lips. For it is yoa that I love, not myself, and it is your happi ness, not my own, for which I pray. Last summer Herbert Warren heard from your aunt of that betrothal we have never considered binding, and be left yoa as any honoi-able man would do, be lieving his love offered too late," "But but yoo !" "I will explain deir. Freddie heard the interview. Yoa know the old saying Little pitchers have long ears,' and Fred die told me." The burning face was hidden in Meta's trembling hands, as Dr. Anderson con tinued : "Forgive me, Met, it my inter fere nee seems to yoa impertinent. I saw Herbert Warren this morning. Of yoa, dear, I could say nothing. Your heart's are your own sacred care, but of my hopeless love of that empty form that seems so solemn to yoar'aant I did not teil bitn. Us knows that yoa are free, that no tie bin is yoa to me." - Ob, yoa are generoas, nobie !" Metta sobbed, lifting her Lice now. "Iam just," be said, gently. I could not let a shadow keep Herbert Warren f rem yon. Wfcetlier yon love him or not, he has the right to seek his answer from yrmr own lips. He will lie here this evening. Shall we cure this trouble some headache before then?" Bat Met could not answer lightly. From the very depths of her own loving heart she realized the great self sicxihce of her lover, and could only sob. ' There," he said, presently, "yoa will make yourself really ill, Meta. Try to think of all this quietly, dear, and happi ly, and be sure, in ail this wide world yoa have no truer friend than I am." He left her then, seeing he but d stress ed her. and the gasping sobs ceased soon. For her, heart coald not mourn now that tbe heavy cloud was lif:ed, and she knew Herbert Warren had not been trifling with ber love. Mrs. Appleton was astonished, of course, annoyed equally of course, but the lovers never heeded her sneers or whining. Before Christmas there was a wedding, the handsomest present bearing Dr. An derson's card, while the bridegroom's "best man" was that "little pitcher," Freddie. The Prince and the Pins. Tbe story is told of a prince who, thought innocent of any crime, was once imprisoned in a dungeon, where in drea ry darkness and solitude, with little hope cf release, he could endure his sad thoughts, and felt that hi mind would sxa give war aniens he cou'd have something to do. But what w as there to occupy himself with when everything had been taken from him before being thrown into prison. Bat after a while he found four pins upon hit clothes which had escaped the notice of the officers. and with these be busied Lim-eif. He would throw them dow n upon the floor of his dungeon and then begin a search for them. This would take some time, for of course he could not see them in the darkness, aud could only lin l them by feeling carefully all over the tloor. When at length he had succeeded in get- tiag them ad he would scatter them again,, and agsin interest himself in searching for them. So yoa see how sad a thing it is to be absolutely without anything to do. Peo ple sometimes ssy they wish they had nothing to do, but I do not think they can mean really nothing at all, for that would be quite as Lad as having tco much to do. Had a Famous Iron Spring.

When the day comes for amalgamat ing the United States and Canada the former ought to be ready to adopt a few of the feature in the government of the Utter country. The American people will reluctant to admit that their nor thern neighbor upon whom they have been accustomed to look with a good-natured tolerance has beea able to work anything commendable in governmental science. It is neverthelesa a fact that tbe me in ods of legislation in Canada are as much soperior to these in the United States as is possible at the present time, probably, to make them. They are dis tinguished just as much by care, deliber ation and watchfulness over the public ntirestsas the legislative mrthods ia the United States are marked by haste, csrele-wne-is and disregard of the general wslfare. One of the distinguished features in tbe'methods of the two countries, as de scribed by Mr. J. G. Bourinot in tbe An nals of the American Academy, is in the initiation of legislation by the Cttnadiaa min-sters. or, as we would call them", members'of the cabinet, and the absent e or indirect nature of this influence in the United States. Before the Canadian par liament meets the ministers have the bills prepared which they desire to have embodied in laws. These bills have been drawn np with the utmost care and have been submitted to tbe whole council of ministers for suggestion and revl-ion. Their program through the two houses is watched closely and ail amendments are subjected to the closest scrutiny. The utmost publicity end deliberatenarss are encouraged, and at all stages the bills are printed and reprinted and scattered broadcast so that everyone can bei-ome acquainted with their contents. In this way legislation by artifice is prevented and public sentiment has ample oppor tunity to make itself felt favorably or ad versely. But the duty and influence of the min isters do not end with the legislation they initiate. Their supervision extends to ail bills introduced by members of par liament, and especially to those of a pri- vate nature. It ts interesting to trace the coarse of procedure in respect to the latter. Two months before a bill is in - troduced for a charter for a private or local object notice of an intention to in- traduce it must be printed in the Gov- ern nent Gazette and ia the newspapers of the locality interested. If the commit- tee for investigating this bill i reports that all formalities have been complied with, the bill goes, after a week's notice, to a i horse just simply because it will fill a ; gvxxl roads.

The future outlook for better prices for good horses, in the opinion of the writer, ia encouraging. There baa been a pre vailing idea among breeders for a Sew years that electricity would take the place of horses to such an extent as to entirely ruin the business of horse raising. Elec tricity as a matter of tact has already ta ken the place to a great extent of a cer tain class of horses, while there are other classe? that it has not nor cannot take the place ot This idea among breeders has already shown a marked erToct upon the stock every where. Farmers have been abandoning the business, marketing their best brood mares, and instead of going many miles to breed to tbe best draft stallion in the country, have been look- ing around for the horse that woald get their mare in foal for the least money. This has had such a discouraging effect on the owners of first-class draft horses that no new ones are being brought into the country, and it has driven many im porters entirely out of the business. This method of breeding as a matter of course will make good draft horses scarcer, and the common classes much plentier, which means better prices for good hors es, and still lower pr.ee lor common ones. The excessive offerings at low pricej of common horses to local dealers is having an influence to a great extent on tbe pri.-e of good ones, but the time is week, while bequests to educational in coming, and at no distant day, when the j stitutioos are very rare indeed. The leg man that has a good heavy draft horse can command a good honest price for him without peddling him.

The exact siie of the appropriation to be made by the state legislature for build ing permanent ranis is a matter of leaa importance, perhaps, than that a begin ning should bemads in this direction. The chairman of the house appropria tion committer nbjeota to the six million amendment tn th Se-bit road bill on I he ground that wait other appropria tions if will tak al! but a mlion and a half to the ai-htt'ii millions and a half of aclK'ipaUrd revenue. If the auticipa. lion is verified the revenue will have in creased about seven million dollars over that to lav4 year, and it ia to be borne in mind that for several years there has been a surplus in the treasury at the end of the scal year of between six and sev en million dollars. It ia evident that if the state legislature does) not make a be ginning at building permanent roads it will not be because the state can not alTord it. It is true that expenses have increased, but necessary expenses and wise outlays of which the state ia sore to reap the benefit have not increased in the same proportion as the revenues. The public schools latt year were given something over live millions. This year it is pro posed to double the amount. With the expenses of the Homestead riot the Na tional Guard cost about five hundred and eighty thousand dollars last year. Even this year's special appropriation of one hundred and sixty-three thousand dol lars for a new outfit w ill not bring the ! cost np to last year's figures unless we should have another riot, which, in view of the wholesome lesson taoght in l --', is not likely. The demaad from chari ties and educational institutions is cer tainly increasing, it is true, but the legis lature needs to note some local peculiari ties in determining bow much to give to these objects. It is to be remembered that the people of Pennsylvania havtt long been trained to give to charities, while they have hardly been trained at all to give to educational institution!. The wills of rich men and women show j that they leave hundreds of thousands of ! dollars to charitable objects nearly every islature should endeaver to maks things even by dealing more liberally where ing ten millions on the schools when the ; roads are to bad that children cannot get : to school?

But it is not i a qnestion between free school books and problem to be faced. The state debt is ! vanishing out of sight. This is the first commonwealth of the union, and now ia the time for it to do what it ought to do ! lead the way in building permanent j roads, which will further increase tbe Karm and Garden Notes.
