A II thr Ycur JivuiuL Mr. (ieorge Mantieli was gMHl-l(k ig, gentleiiiaiily in ppenrauiv, well tvil, intelligent, the iiossi'ssiir of 10,- KI a year and a Uiehelor. All thest? eiretinintaiiee taken into eoiisitleration, Mr. (Siore MaiislieM hal a right ti l-al a happy, jolly life ami live very mueh at his C!L-e. ell, he did so. lit faet, he did so tai mueh, for, having nothing artieu- lar Ut do hut to take care of himself, he id that well that he hrought oil an attitck nfwime kind of illness. The diM-tor ml i-sil a change of air and tried to Jiersiiaile hint to go to Europe, hut lie had done omv and was satisfied. Many things were suggestol, and at length a disciple of the inislieal profession ven tured at a hint to the country, for which he was almost annihilated by the indignant glances of the indignant fellow medical disciple, indeed, he only survived from the fi.et that Mr. Mans field, upon hearing this last preserip- t'on given with great hesitancy and U eomeiiig modesty, jumed up in a way that seemed to say the mere mention of it was revivifying and exclaimed : "Hurrah ! Who said that? Well done, sir. You may bend in a smash ing hill on the strength of that hist pre scription. Why didn't you give it sooner? To the country I go ami no where else." So it wai settled, and an agent la-ing einployeil to find exactly such a place as would suit Mr. Mans field three davs later was en route for llarroville, t here he arrived just as the t wilight was gathering down. eu straw "viKd; wncvr uf'was ,.e.iHt- ; It u-..u iw. ...... ....:.. up his aliodc, and when he entered he found himself in a wide kitchen, the floor of which was so clean and white that his heart was completely won ly it. In the great, hroad fireplace blazed and cracked such a fire of maple and lutfli as can lie seen nowhere hut in country fireplaces, and the ruddy glow was reflected I Kick ly innumerable tin pans and dishes of every description that hung against the whitewashed walls till the naim scented illuminated. The fanner and his wife welcomed him with old fashioned xiliteiiess, the former entertaining hint with a hist- ry of all the sheep, horses and cattle he had raised for the past 15) years, while his better half was careful and troubled alsut many things, all tending to the one great thing getting supicr ready. Just la-fore the preparations for that fragrant until were completed the kitchen dar opened, and tin' farmer's daughter entered. Her mother intro duced her to the Umrder'a notice by "This is .Sarah, my daughter, sir," and left Sarah to find out who her new ac quaintance was at her leisure. The farmer's daughter was neither shy nor embarrassed. She didn't blush or liak frightened : she never knew how to do cither, but bowing in a manner that would not have disgrac ed a duchess she stoml upon the hearth ami warmed her feet, U-cause the even ing was chilly, though it was early au tumn, and the grass in the field where she had Uvn milking the cows was so laden with heaw dew that her luaits were soaked through. Her i.itin on the hearth displayed her form to the utmost advantage. She was tall, admirably rounded from the sloping Mioulders and full bust to the tapering waist, and the fkirt of her dress worn short and raised a little in front to escaiH? the scorching heat of the fire exposed a pair of feet and ankles that would alone have made the for tune of a danseue. Sarah knew she was handsome had often Uvn told so and never denied it. She knew equally well that her feet and ankles were the most perfect she had ever seen, but don't di her the in- just ice to sdpiose that she stood there to displav them to Mr. Mansfield. When she had warmed her feet suf ficiently, Sarah turned away, and going over to the table assisted her mother in completing the preparations for sup- ler. Thisdone, the fanner and Mr. Mans field moved their chair over to the table and prepared to do justice to the meal. Never had the man of the world eat-.!) a meal like that. Mrs. Ford w.Hild have Uvn insulted had her good, old fashioned cooking Uvn compared to anything so flimsy as the food of the gods. . After smii. -r Mr. Mansfield retired early. Sarah had gone to her room. He found hid apartment eommodi ous, neat, white floored, the U'd white curtained and the windows ditto. So he could do ntrthingelse than jmy the compliment of sleeping so sHindly tltat he forgot to dream and did not once awake till the warm morning sun had bathed the room in a flood of golden glory. Then, when lie arose in the morning, how pleasant it was to have clear, pure rainwater, just caught as it fell from the clouds, instead of Cnrtoii ; coarse towel that made his face glow when he used it, and above all a tract of country, rust ling forests, blue sky and golden patch es of sunlight to look out upon instead of the gables of tumbledown houses or the everlasting fronts of the gay shops, reived sidewalks and tbv tu-ver get ESTABLISHED 1827. ceasing rumble of innumerable carts, carriages and ears, j After breakfast lie went out to walk aUut the farm and came in to dinner as hungry as a U-ar. He repeated the experiment in the afternoon and came into supper ditto. Sarah had Uvn occupied in her room nearly all day and had not come to dinner, but when Huptvr time came she was down in the kitchen, precisely as she had Uvn the evening previous, except that instead of having her sleeves rolled tip to her elbows thev were unbuttoned at the wrist. The bachelor sivnt an hour or more admiring her as she Kit after supper knitting socks for her father, the glitter ing needles glancing in and out in the firelight and her long shapely fingers looking like U-autiful molded wax ttijvrs. She did not speak much ; it was im- IKMsible to tell why. There was no diffidence about her, ami Mr. Mans field was forced to the conclusion that she didn't think him of sufficient im- IH.rtaiice to U-stow a thought or word uiMn him. The reflection was not a pleasant one. A couple of weeks l Missed in much the same manner, his acquaintance with Sarah progressing very slowly his apNtite variable, and a fidgety wav of moving alatut and looking out of the window that surprisHl himself very much when he at length olscrved it. One morning he arose a couple of hours earlier than usual, and animated with the praiseworthy determination of hunting up such an appetite that he would no longer U obliged to mortify Mr. Ford iy continual "Xot-anything- inore thauk-vou. when he had not aten enough to "keep a sarrow alive," as the gil woman said, he went out for a morning walk. In returning lie met Sarah coming from luilkiiiir. a can of strippings" carried in her right hand. Uood morning," said Sarah. (im! moniing. Will you not allow me to assist ytsj ?" "Oh, no. Thank you." "I am afraid you are taking too much upon yourself. You will make your hand ache. Do let ine carry it." She allowed him to take the ail, and then walked on erect and straight as a poling poplar before him. When they reached the door, she took it from him, and seeing the broad nil mark upon his hand, made by the pail handle, she laughed merrily. She entered, leaving him standing there, thinking to himself that the voices of all the nightingale" whose tongues had Uvn stolen by the ancients had come to her for consolation, and mingling together prtnluced the clear est and sweetest one he had ever listen ed to. There he stood for nearly five y""V earnest thought, not something else. Finishing up by an mphatic "I'll do it," he entered the ouse, and lor tne nrsi tune in a week ate a breakfast that almost astonished Mrs. Ford. The very first good opportunity that ofl'orcd he 'Mid it" and asked Sarah to marry hint. It was hard to tell whether she was surprised, but certainly she was not at all overcome and showed no evidence f feeling herself particularly honored. It was in the evening of thesame lay that he had determined to "do it." They were alone in the kitchen, Sarah standing uou the hearth, her elhow Icauingon the mantel and her glowing heck ujsm her hand. She listened attentively in grave silence till he fin ished, and then, raising her glorious purplcish blue yes to his, she bked at him for some stvomLs and burst into a pleasant, musical laugh. A pretty wife I would make for yo:i," she said then, and turning away, U-fore he could utter a single word, she p issed from the room, and he heard her singing "Old Hundred" five min utes later, as s he went ttUut her work up stairs. "I!y Jove ! I love her ; there's no use in trying to hide it," and the captive tikeii Uiehelor sighed drearily and wondered what he would do next, and he tuld only keep his courage up by novating the "faint heart and fair lady" adage till he wore it to shreds. A splendid opMrtunity occurred the next evening for trying again. Sarah was standing out by the gate in the nullow moonlight looking up at the sky in a way that she didn't often lo. Mr. Mansfield had heard some where that the nukmlight was a soften er of a woman s heart, so lie thought he would just prove t he truth of it, but when he came close to Sarah she dart ed away like a frightened fawn ami hurried into the house by the back en trance. He didn't sec her again that night. and so, U-ing unable to do anything better, he went to Ivd and dreamed of her dreamed of her ghssy black hair, of her glowing checks, of her crimson lips, of her milk white teeth, of her i a i ; i. snowy lrow ami ner purpieisti ejes with their silken lashes. She avoided him now ; she gave him no opportunity to see her alone, and only remained in the kitchen when her father or mother were there. Then she would sit knitting industriously, her needles glancing, her lips sometim.'s compressed, sometimes half apart and her cheeks glowing ; her lashes U-nt down over her eyes, which she kept studiously averted, while her liachelor lover sat looking at her, trying to catch her eve that lie might tell her with his how much he loved her, but failing in that he had to content himself with merely lookimr at her and thinking what a U-autiful picture she made, Thus matters w ent on for a week. He tried every conceivable way of obtain ing a private interview with her, of finding her alone. He waylaid her when she went out to milk in the morn ing ami when she came home from the same in the evening, but she escapeii him each time. One evening Mr. Ford was from Sarah, her mother and their Utarder were seated in the kitchen, Sarah, as usual, knitting, and Mr. Mansfield at some distant watching her and comparing her to Ilemhrandt'a most U-autiful pictures, for the glow from the crackling Are illuminated one- half her face, and from the candle not yet Uing lit the rest was in sliade. OCTOBER 24, 1894. Fortune, as if tired of trying the los er's patience any longer, sent Mrs. Ford out of the room, and they were left alone. No time was to le lost. Such an op Krtunity might not occur again for weeks, and the door was hardly closed U'hind the retreating form of the ma tron ere he crossed the room, sttatd lv- side her, and putting ids hand gently upon her shoulder said : "What have I done to yini V "Nothing." The knitting needles flew as if the lives of the whole present generation depended upon their rapidi ty- "Why do you avoid me then?" "Avoid you?" "es, you know you do. Havel offended you?" "No." "Then why do you run away from me whenever I approuch you?" 'I never have time to wast in stupid nonsense." The needles flew with alarming rapidity, as if reproaching him for intruding uism her valuable time. I was not going to ask you to waste it in stupid nonsense." "How do I know that?" the knit ting needles glancing like sheet light ning. l'ut away that knitting and I'll leu you. jki you make my eyes ache." "You needn't Iak then." "An if I could help it." "What why not?" "louknow quite well that I must look at everything you do." I know quite well nothing of the sort." "Will you put away that knitting?" "N'o." "There, then." He snatched it and pulled two neeles out. "How dare you! Now, I can't lift those stitches arain till the candle comes." "I know it- I'm glad of it." "I'm not five minutes wasted." "Don't say so. Sjs-nd them uimhi in-.-, l ou will find me irrateful." "Indeed! You'r not worth them." "True; but still, lv generous. We would none of us have much if wconly got our due in this world, but you haven't answered my first question why do you avoid me ?" "I did answer." "Ah, but I'm not going to waste your time in nonsense. I wanted to tell you that I love you." "You told me so once U-fore." "May I not reivat it?" "I don't hapvu to have the control of your tongue, and therefore I can't prevent your using it as you please." "Then I use it thus : Sarah, dearest, I love you and want you to Uvome my wife." "Doyoii?" "Mr. Mansncui, you mwh . am no wife for you." "Iduoww ell that you are the on) wife in this world for me. There is not another woman in existence upon whom I can U-stow the title." "How highly honored I am." "IVn't iiiH'k me;I am too serious, Don't aMiecr ; your lips are ta beauti ful." "You do well." "I am glad you are pleased." "I did not say so." "You are trying to quarrel with me." "And if I am I think It would U- capital fun." To you -rhaiw ; not to nie." 'Ah! And suppose I chose to en joy myself at the extviise of your royal highness?" "Don't trifle, dearest, just now. An swer me, and then d i everything you please afterward." "tienerous man." "Sarah Sarah ! I hear footsteps your mother is returning answer me a single wonL" She didn't unclose her crimson liis, but she shot a single glance at him from the blue eyes, and he was an swered. The Iwchelor's wooing was over and the maiden was won. Grains of Gold. Good men are a public gtaal. Human laws Mtch not thoughts. The in re laws the more offenders. He who buys office must sell justice. An ill man in office is a public ca lamity. Laws catch flies but let hornets go free. Iks you ever so high, the law isaUive you. Uigid justice is oft the greatest injus tice. The trial is not fair when afllvtion is judge. The greater the man the greater the crime. The mob hath many heads but no brains. Money is the abridgment of human power. A deceitful peace is m ire hurtful tlian open war. The worst of law is that one suit bretls twenty. Justice will not condemn, even the devil, wrongfully.

Turkeys on Crutches- Captain IJridge, of Shasta county, who has an extensive reputation in that district as a cultivator of high class poultry, has developed a very philanthropic spirit toward his wards. Iteevntly lie noticed a peculiar disease spreading among tne turkeys. It ex hibited itself by a gradual swelling in the legs from the thigh, or time-honored and much-rcsNvted "drum stick" so tiop-.ilar am ng youngsters alsxit Thanksgiving time. It spread down the legs and in a few days the turkey unfortunate enough tola- afflicted was unable to walk with that proud and haughty step so frequently employed by this royal bird. The captain found that by regular hot water applications the swelling could lie reduced, but this manner of treating was so slow tlutt the patient was compelled to lead a life of idleness, much to his disgust. At times the captain would have several of his fat test birds in the hospital, and it required almost all of his attention to give them the hot water treatment. This state of affairs went on for some time, when finally he was inspired to introduce a little Yankee ingenuity into the fl-k, ami, U-ing rather handy with his jNM-ket-kiiife, he f:ili"nnel a crude pair of crutches alxiut seven inches in length, and secured them under the turkey's wings. They were just a fraction longer than the bird's legs, and every time the rheumatic would take a step forward the crutches would lv brought into play, and progress in stead of Uing torture was a pleasure. In a few hours the cripples Us-ame familiar with the new order of things and were able to hobble around the yard at a more rapid gait. Alnn-t any time during damp weather, when the rheumatism is on, one cau see half a dozen turkeys on cnitclies at Captain Uridge's farm.
