PS -tv : it af " KIDNAPPING A ROBBER, The pest-office at Oherville, a small western town iu the United .States, was a very important place. The worthy postmaster kept a country store, where he dispensed goods of every descrip tor The district was comparatively new, and formed one of those prairie vil lages that spring into existence miles away from other towns, and are a sort of nucleus or trading post for a large extent of country. Saturday was the principal trading nay; and Mr. Har mon, tlio postmaster, and his assistants were way overwhelmed with bust on that day. " 15 tit on the particular baturday af ternoon of which we wish to speak, trade had slackened earlier than usual, and the proprietor and his men were enjoying a breathing time, and chat ting with several rough-looking fel lows, who had gathered about the stoves, many of them' being strangers. tor a stranger attracted but little no tice in that community of newcomers. "Here comes (Jharley Gilbert, the very man 1 waut to seer , remarked Harmon, as a horseman dashed up to the store and dismounted. He was a tall, broad-shouldered young Hercules f and" the -large bay horse he rode looked well rdapled to carrying such a weight, and exhibited due equine pride in sprying. his yoiyig master, tktfb. horswranflr- ruler were well known and respected throughout the' settlement. .Leaving his well- trained animal standing unhitched, Gilbert entered the store. "You are just the person I wanted to see Charley 1" said Mr. Harmon. "Singular," said Gilbert. "I should think yon would rather not see me, as ynu know the object of my call. Peo ple are nofcetWaJlyso welcome when they come iof fdrtsiVW. . "Well, I am an excepftffJSMhw instance, for I am anxious to get rid of the amount I owe you. lad is, there have been burglars about and ther tried to break into my store last uight, but were frightened away; so I prefer vou would hold this money against mote successful attempts of the kind. And Mr. Harmon proceeded to count out a large roll of poles, which Gilbert placed carefully in his pocket. "Now, Charlie," said neighbor Hill, one of the party seated around the stove; "you had belter keep a look out, 'cause some one might stop you to tight before you return from Cran ton." The allusion to Cianton brought a slight blush to CaHey's cheeks, for it was wellkoown that he was on his usual Saturday evening visit to a cer tain young school-mistress, who Twelt in the neighboring settlement. "How do you know I am going to Cranton?" asked Charley. "Well, I only suppose so, 'cause I've heard said you do go that way about this time o' the week ;" and Hill winked to the crowd, who laughed; and Charley Gilbert, not wishing to dis cuss the subject further, left the store, and mouuting old Hero, was soon out of sight. ' Mighty fine chap, that Gilbert is," resumed Hill to bis fellow loungers; "been in the army and won his way, an' now he has got bis allotment of laud out here, au' will soon have one of the finest farms in this country." The short autumn day came to a close, and it was long after dark ere Gilbert reached his destination, and received his usual hearty welcome from Sarah Denton. Saturday nights were the bright spots in her dull life as a schoolmis tress, and were sure to bring her Char ley. Old Hero had carried his master over the road so often, that he knew what was required of him, and needed no urging. It was late when Charley took his leave of his sweetheart. "Now, do be careful," were her last words, "for you know there might be danger on the road, so many robberies have been committed lately." "Never fear, Sarah ; Old Hero will take trie home safely." And. with a good -by kiss, he mount ed and ro.le away. The night was dark uo light ex cept the stars that sparkled crisply from a clear sky. But, had it been ever so dark, it would, have made no difference to Charley. J lis thoughts were of the sweet girl he had just left, and, paying no attention to his horse, he rode slowly along, intent upou plans for the future. "The money I have received to day will enable me to complete my home; then Sarah will be my wife, and we shall live on the farta such a happy life," he mused. A long, dark patch of forest loomed ahead, through which the prairie road ran, and not until he had entered its dark shadows, did the horseman arouse from his blissful reverie. "What if I should be attacked f" thought he ; "I have uothing to de- feud nic, and enough money to make , it a good haul for such gentry. Hum bug 1 I don't believe there is any dan ger "Haltr And two dark forms sprang into the road, seized his bridle, and the steely glitter of pistols leveled at him, with in a tew ieet of Ins breast, startled him. ' Like a flash, his good right arm struck the weapon from tho hand of the robber, and fell heavily upon the shoulder of the .fellow ; and with a sudden jerk of the powerful arm he was hauled over the suudle-lmw, while old Hero, in response to a dig of the spur, sprang away, jerking the other robber off Ins teet, and causing his bullet to speed wide of its intended victim. On through the gloomy woods, and out again upon the open prairie, dash ed the horse with his double burden, while the robber struggled like a child in the powerful grasp of his captor. A closing of the fingers over bis neck soon reduced him to quiet; and, held in this manner, he rode an unwilling captive, and, at last, the lights of Oberville appeared, Mid soon they were in the village. At a word from his master,' Hero stopped Tight in front of the post-office, from the win dow "of which a cheery Ifght shone, de noting that the assistants were still busy replacing the goods that had kMho taken &vri- dug the day's traflnc. "Hilloal" crie. ilbert. A head atCV at the door, and a voice, answered, there?" "Hilloa! Who's "It's roe, John, and I have got some thing nica here; come help me in with it," answered Charley. "It's Gilbert," said John, address ing his fellow-shopman. "What's that you've got, Charley ? a saddle of ven ison T" asked oJu as be approached "better than that, Job. It is a real live little deer. Come and lift him down, but hold him fast," said Gilbert. The astonished shopmen gathered about, aud Charley told them of his alventure. Soon, the robber was re leased from his unpleasant position ou the saddle and taken into the store, where his captor followed. Here be was safely bound. "I think iMiave seen this fellow be fore, remarked John, as he took a survey of the captiue. "He is the stranger that was sitting at the stove here when Mr. Harmon paid your money, Charley. "Let's search him, and see wbatsort of plunder be has about him," sug gested one of the shopmen. The prisoner's pockets revealed a small fiusk of liquor, and a savagO' looking dirk knife. "Ililloa, what's this?" exclaimed Gilbert, pickiug up a piece of paper that fell on the floor, and opening it, read : "Ore thousand dollars reward for the capture of one William Larkin, the supposed leader of a gang of rob bers and horse-stealers. lie is a short, slim man, about five feet six inches in height, dark hair, heavy black eye brows, and moustache, and peculiar looking, small black eyes " "Answers the description to a T," broke in John. "Aha William Larkin, or Curly Bill I I've heard of him. Charley, you're in luck I This fellow is a prize, tudeed !" added one of the assistants. "Yes; this placard is from the sher iff of St. Joe, and is dated only a week ago," said Charley, after finish ing tbe reading. "Gentlemen," said the robber, "you have got the original Curly Bill, and when you deliver me up, you will get that reward. I am in your piwer; but these strings are bound around my wrists most unmercifully tigtt' with a grimace of pain. "Can't you afford to make 'era easier?" "Yes, let thera out a little, Jones," sai John, addressing bis fellow aesist-. ant. "Make them safe, but not too tight, and I will watch the bird mean while." So Jones proceeded cautiously to re arrange tbe bond-i on tho wrists of the prisotier, while the others gathered around him. With a sudden jerk of prodigious strength, Curly Bill got bis bonds free, dashed bis fist into the face of John, and sprang to the door, which had not been locked. So sudden was Ins movement, that ere the rest of the group could com prehend the scene, he was clear of the store, and as Gilbert reached the door, he saw the robber spring into the sad dle ou old Hero's back, and dash away. Pursuit was not to be thought of; but Gilbert placed bis fingers to his mouth, and gave a shrill whistle; hearing which, old Hero, despite the urging of his rider, wheeled suddeuly, aud at the same wild gallop, started back to his master. Seeing this, Curly Bill attempted to throw himself from the saddle; but, in so doing, his foot caught in the stir rup, and he was dragged helplessly over the hard road. Fortunately for the the poor victim of this mishap, the distance was not great, or the result might have been fur more serious. How often is it that the merest tri fling accident contributes rx the ends of justice 1 Villains may successfully carry on their work for years, and their fancied security forget the fate that must eventually overtake them a slip, an accident, and the law claims her own. Gilbert hastened to secure his horse, and the insensible form of Curly Bill was agant carried into the store, where an examination revealed a broken head and a fractured leg, which would detain their prisouer as effectually as shackle aud chaiu. In a few days the sheriff came up from St. Joseph, and took charge of the maimed man, and through his con fession, many of his gang of despera does were taken or killed, and the country freed of their presence. Uharley Gilbert received Ins well- earned reward, and the money enabled him to complete Ins house handsomely and stock the farm, over which burah Gilbert presides as mistress. A CONTKNTKU FARMER. Once upon a time, Frederick, King of Prussia, summoned "Old Fritz," took a ride, and espied an old farmer plowing his acre by the wayside, and cheerily sing bis melody. "You are wellrofT, old man," said the king. "Docs the acre belong to yon, ou which you so industriously la bor?'' "No sir," replied the old farmer, who knew not that it was the kiug "I am not so rich as that; I plow by the day lor wages. "How much do you get?" asked the king. "Eight grochen (about twenty cents) a day, said the farmer. "That is not much," said the king, "can you get along with thisr "Get along and have something to spare. "How is that?" The farmer smiled and said "Well, if I must tell you, two chen are for myself and wife; two I pay ray old debts, two I gro wth lend away, and. two I givo away for Lord's sake." the "This is a mystery which I cannot solve." renlied the kini?. "Then I will solve it for you," said the farmer. "I have two old parents at Dome who Kept me when 1 was weak and needed help; and now that they are weak and need help, I keep tbem. This my debt toward which I nay two grochen a day. 1 lio third pair of grochen, which I lend away, spend for my children, that they may receive Christiec instruction. This will come bandy to my wife and me when we get old. With the last two grochen I maintain two sick sisters. whom I would not be compelled to keep; this 1 give for the Lord s sake. I be king, well pleased with his an swer snid "Bravely spoken, old man. Now I will give you something to guess Have you ever seen me before 7 "Never," said the farmer. "Iu less than five minutes ynu shall see me hfly times, and carry in your pocket blly ot my likenesses. "i'his is a riddle which I cannot un ravel," said the farmer. "Then I will do it for you," replied thd king. Thrusting his hand into his pocket and countiug bim fitly brand-new gold pioceb into his band, stamped with his royal likeness, he said to the astonished farmer, who knew not wlnt was coming : "The coin is genuine, for it also crimes from our Lord God, and I am his paymaster. I bid you adieu.

The American Agrcculttirist saysf We hardly know how to account for the popular impression that still pre vails it) many rural districts, that the free use ot mnt is unfriendly to health. It has much to d with the scarcity of fruit gardens and orchard in the country. As a matter of fact, cities and villages are much better supplied with mut the year round than the sur rounding country. There are hun dreds of furms, even in tho oldest parts of the land, where there is no or"--chard anil the only fruit is gathered Irotn seedling apple trees growu in the fence corners. Ihe wants ot cities are supplied not so much from tho proper tanner districts as trom a tew men in their Buburbs, who make a business of crowing fruit for market. The farmers who raise a good variety of small Iruit for the supply of their own families, are still the exception. The villager, with his quarter or half acre lot. will have his patch of straw berries, his row of currants and rasp btrries, bis grape vines and pear trees, and talk intelligently of the varieties of these fruits. His table is well sup plied with these luxuries for at least half a year, but there is a lamentable dearth of good fruit upon tho farm from the want of conviction that it pays. It does pay in personal com fort and health, it nothing else. The medical faculty will bear testimony ts the good influence of ripe Fitiit upon the animal economy. They regufato the system better than anything else, and forestall many of the diseases to which we are liable in the summer and full. A quaint old gentleman of our acquaintance often remarks that ap ples are the only pills he takes. He fakes these every day in the year when they can be found in the market, and tills up the interval between the old and new crop with other fruits. He ha9 hardly seen a sick day in forty years, and pays no doctor's bill. We want more good fruit, especially upon our farms, and the habit of eating fruit it our meals. This is just one of the matters in which farmers' wives can .exert an influence. Many a good man would set out fruit trees and bushes if he were only reminded of it at the right time. Oue right time will be this autumn at least in all but the very coldest part of tbe country. A few dollars invested then will bring abundant returns in from one to five years. It is more intimately connected with good morals than our philosophers thiuk. With good digestion it is quite easy to fulfill the law of love. A CI.ERK'rt STORY. "When I used to lend store the old man came around one day, andaays he, 'Boys, the one who sells the moet between now and Christmas gets ' vest pattern for a present.' Maybe we did not work for that vest pattern, I tell you there was some tall stories told iu praise of goods, about that time; but the tallest talker and the ono who had the most cheek of any of us, was a certain Jonah Guires.who roomed with me. He could talk a dollar out of a man's pocket when tbe man only iulended to spend a six 'pence, and the women Lord bless you they just handed over 'their pocket-books to him and let him lay out what he liked for them. One night Jonah woke me up with, 'By Jove, old fellow, if you think that era's got cotton in it I'll bring down the sheep it was cut from, and mako him own his wool. 'Twont wear out either; wore a pair of pants ot that stuff for five years, and they are as good now as the day I first put them on. Take it at thirty cents and I'll say you didn't owe me anything. Eh too dear? Well, call it twenty-eighl cents. What d'ye say ? All right. It's a bargain.' I could fuel Jonah's hand playing about the bed clothes for an instant; then rip, tear, went some thing or another, and I hid my head under tbe blankets, perfectly convuls ed with laughCer, and perfectly sure that Jonah had torn the best sheet from top to bottom. Whan I awoke next morning, I found my night shirt split from the bottom to tbe collar baud. The London Medical Record says: "It has long been noted in this coun try that in those districts where the use of oatuieal (in place of wheateu flour) prevails, we find children anil adults with the best developed teeth and jaws; and so well recognized is the influence of oatmeal upon the teeth that many practitioners order its use as an article of daily diet for children in cases where dentition m likely to be retarded or impefer t."
