Oh, how I did love that girl I And they ay all in fair in love and war, and that is tome excuse for rue. I had liked her a lotur while. and I knew that she liked me. I was ai tug a fellow as could be found any where about. I had a farm of my own, and Vrhen I was married, father had promised to build me a first-rate house and stock the place for roe. And when I went to church on Sun day, or to the city, I had good clothes, and was never told I looked ill in them. On the whole, I felt myself a good, fair match for Fanny Martin, though the was ao Diet a girl. And ber father and mother thought so, ton, and she never refused my attention. I had ?Uled in the Mow, quiet sort of way in which country men do settle these things, that we d make a match of it. The other voider cesUemen knew it, and if we were not fashiona ble we were so far gentlemen that we nan our code of honor, xione of them ever interfered or tried to cut me out. iut, tben, be came, don t you see. Dapper and pretty, and looked like a tailor's fashion-plate, and he talked of things I knew little about, and his hands were white, and he had graceful gallant ways that I had never learnt JUr. Williams that was his name. And in that holiday of his, while we were working hard over the hay and were tanned and dirty and worn, and so tired that sleep was all we wanted wnen work was over. why. then he. soft, sweet and smiling, made himself agreeable to the girls, and crept into Fanny Martin's heart Mr Fannv She scarcely looked at me. She did not care whether she met me or not; and on Sunday there he was making me feel somehow so coarse and rough and vulgar; and when I wanted her to go home with me icto the woods where we used to sit in the green shad ow, and listen to the birds ting, she had some excuse to stay at home; and when on the road from church I took her hand in mine, she snatched it away and said quite crossly "Don't, Ben ; don't do such silly, rustic things while the city folks are here. They never do it themselves, and they laugh so." "Mr. Williams laughs, you mean, I suppose," said I. "That's gentleman ly, too." And then she blushed and curled her little lip, and said : "You are criticizing Mr. William's manners, are you ?" After that there was coolness be tween us; but though it made my heart ache, I could not think that it mattered much to her. I stayed away from her father's house, and I did not walk home from church with her on Sunday; indeed, I did not go to church at all. And I knew the young folks, yes, and the old folks, too, were saying that we- were out with each other, and I suppose every one guessed Why ; but I would never answer any questions not when my mother asked them, rat I. So the summer passed and the fall came on, and the city people stayed and stayed ; I saw that fellow's pana ma hat rod silk umbrella and pretty linen suit wherever I went Farther than I could see other people, I used to see him and her Mr. Williams and Fanny you know. They had never made Fanny work much at home, and she had plenty of time to enjoy herself. The only girl, you know, and her people what we call forehanded. - I never intended that she should drudge after we were married. When I bad hoped for that, I did not mind work myself but I'd never have made a slave of my wife, as most farmers do ; any one can see by looking at the poor women who have no time for prettiness, or even to play with the babies they bring into the world wo men whose husbands are rich men too, very often. This Mr. Williams, be could not have made her more of a precious thing than I would ; I knew that I was thinking this all over one eve ning on the meadow not trying to think, you know, but fighting the thoughts that came like mosquitoes, as fast as I drove them away, to ring in my ears and sting me when suddenly I heard some on say : - "Ah Mr. Mr. Burling." And I looked up and there was Mr. Williams, nattier than ever, with a cigar ic his mouth. If he had known how I felt toward him, I'm not sure he'd have come to tied m in the great meadow, and I thought of that aa I jumped up from the grass and looked at him. But he was smiling as politely as possible. and there is something iu a man', heart that makes it hard to do the first rude thing to one who is civil. Still I was not over-polite to him, I know. "That's my name," Ba.jd.1, "Do yoji want me?" mtnn DECEMBER 1, 1875. "I want something of you," sai " "There's a little excursion over a .r house to-night. We're going to drive to the Falls and sup, and I'm going to take a lady. Have yon any little light wagon, and a horse, of course, that you could hire me for the eve ning? I'd rather go aloi.e with her than in the big wagon. You know, I'm sure, how it is that a fellow had rather ride alone with a pretty girl, and if you'll help me out J'll be ever so much obliged to you." So he had come to ask me to help him to have a nice time with my girl he who had cut me out. I looked at him, just holding my hands still by main force, and I thought of him rid ing along the moonlight road, with Fanny close beside him. I asked myself whether bis arm would not be around her waist, and whether in the shadows, as they fell a little behind the others, he would not kiwi her.' "And vou want me to heln von 1" T Isafdaloud. "Met" "Yes," he said, "pleaSe." "Come along," I said; "J'l show you what I've got." On the farm that was mine there was one building, a little cowshed.) We put. the too Is in there sometimes, and I had a padlock for the door, and the key was in my pocket It came into my head that I could spoil bis evening for him, and spite Fanny, too, by locking him in the shed. And if he had spirit to fight me for it after wards, so much the better. And I led the way down into the meadow where it stood, and unlocked the door. "Just look in," said I, "and see if that will suit you." "Can't see anything," Baid he. "It's pitch dark. Wait, I have a match." He took one from his vest pocket and stooped to strike it on the sole of his boot, arid .then I gave him a push and over he went, and I had the key In my pocket. "You'll not make any one hear very soon, lad," said I, grinning to myself, "and you'll not kiss Fanny Martin go ing over the bridge this evening." Then I went away and laid myself flat upon the porca iu front of the house, and felt happier than I bad be fore for a long time. Revenge is sweet now and then. I don't pretend to have none of the old Adam in- me. I'd been there about half an hour, and tbe chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp of the crickets was lulling me off to sleep, when suddenly I heard a little light step close beside me, and saw a wo man's white dress fluttering, and jump ing up, I stood before Fanuy Martin. The first thought that came into my mind was that she was looking for her beau, and it made me fiendish. "That you, Miss Martin V said I. "Yes, Mr. Burling," said she; and though I'd said Mi3s Martin how it hurt me not to be called Ben. -"I came over to see your mother. Is she iu?" "No," said I ; "gone to prayer-meeting at Deacon Dull's." "Then I'd better go home," said she; but she lingered. "Not looking for any one else," said "No," she said, very sadly. "Good night." But' I could not let her go without a cut. "I thought you'd be on this wonder ful moonlight drive," said I. "There you were mistaken," said she. "Did he forget to come for you V said 1 "Mr. Williams, you know." "I haven't been asked to the drive." said she. "I don't know why you speak so. The city folks are all by themselves, said Mr. Williams, I sup pose, is with the lady he's engaged to. She came down last week with her mother." "Oh," said I, and I began to wish I bad asked a few more questions before I locked young Williams up in the cow-house. We stood still apart from eaeh other. I saw her lTp quiver. Was it for him? Had he jilted her? That was tit for tat, anyhow. But she was so pretty, and so sad, and so winning, I felt my heart give a throb. I took a step near ershe took another. "Oh, Ben," cried she, "I can't stand it if you stay angry with me. I al ways have liked you the best, but you've been so awfully cross," and she was crying on my shoulder. Did you ever make up with some one you'd quarreled with, loving her all the time? Did you ever feel, hold ing the deer face between your two palms, pressing sweet kisses on the dear, soft mouth, that it bad all come back, all the old love and trust and sweetness and hope that you thought dead? If you have, you know what I felt that minute. I fouud myself again. I was Ben Burling once more. Not the hot, an gry fellow, with a curse upon him I had seemed so long, and all for a silly little woman: a dear, sweet, silly little woman, how strange it was. Out of all my life, I'd like to have that one $2 PER ANNUM. iiioment back ; it was the. sweetest I ever lived through. Then, what? A splash of "crimson and orange on the white wall of the house ; a cry from Fanny. We both turned and looked. Up in the midst of the far meadow there rose a column of fire, and I had locked poor innocent Williams up in it, to be roasted alive. "Oh, Fanny." I cried, glancing at the horrible sight. "I'm a murderer a murderer don't touch me." And away I flew to undo my mis chief, if there was time. There might be perhaps. Never was such a run as I took across that long meadow. But when I reached the door, plung ing my hand in my pocket for the key, I could not find it. I had drop ped it somehow. It was not about me. "Williams I" I cried; "Williams I are you there? Iam outside; cour age I" There was no answer. "For heaven'a sake, if you can speak do," T shrieked, but silence answered me. Doubtless the smoke had already smothered the poor fellow, but I set to work and tore away the burning hoards. I wae "scorched. My hair, my face, my eyebrows. Twice my clothes were on fire, hut I rolled on the grass, and was up and at the flames again. Oh, it was horrible, horrible I If he had been my rival it would b.ive been bad enough, but an innocent young fellow, his sweetheart waiting for bim somewhere. What a wretch I was. "God have mercy on me," cried I. "Let me save him ; don't punish me by making me a murderer?" and I tore and wrenched the boards with my burnt hands. And iu a roement more well it was tho roof that fell, I think I don't know. "He'll do very nicely now," said some ono "very nicely; plenty of nourishing food, quiet, and. the wash directed. No danger, no danger, though his escape is wonderful.'- It was the family doctor, and I was on the spare bed iu the bedroom with bandages about my hands. Mother sat there; so 'did Fanny. Father looitefi over the bed-toot releg end Jane Maria, the help, were also visi ble. "And why to gracious he was so sot on saving that old shed, I can't tell," said mother. "Must have had some thing precious there." . They did not know, then. I sat up and looked at them all. "It wasn't the shed," said I. "Mo ther, father, Fanny, it was Mr. Will iams. I had locked him up there. I've murdered him." "No you haven't" said anothes voice, and some one came round the bed. "I'm alive, you see -You didn't think I'd star locked up in a cow-shed when I had an engagement with a lady, did you? I just burned the lock oft with my cigar aud came away. I intended to give you a fright in return for your trick. I suppose it's what you call a practical joke in the country; but I didn't think of anything serious. I'm really sorry." I don't know what I said. I know I felt like a fool ; but that was not as bad as feeling lik a murderer. I had a pretty pair of hands for the next four weeks; but I djdn't mind it as much as if Fanny had not fed roe with hers. She petted me as though I were a hero instead of an idiot. I believe she thought I bad done some thing noble and grand. She's been my wife how long, Fanny? Not so long as to have forgotten to be lovers, though my boy's bead is on a level with his mother's shoulders, and my own is turning gray. THE ANTI.EUS OV THE DEER. According to a paper by Mr. John Dean Catn, in the American Natural ist, there is a substantial indentity be tween the antlers and the ordinary bones of deer; in fact, the antlers are external bones, of very rapid growth, which mature speedily, die and are thrown off, while the other bones are of slow growth, and persist through life. The process of growth is very curious and interesting. It consists in a deposit of earthy salts (osseous matter) from the blood vessels, analog ous, in a rude way, to the growth of certain tubular incrustations in hot springs. Ossification finally chokes the vessels of supply at the lower part of tho antler, aud thus arrests the de posit of bony particles, leaving the upper parts hollow, though braced in every direction with thin plates of bone, liut when everything is lined solid below, and all sources of nutri ment have been cut o4r, the antler dies, and is removed by a still stranger process of undermining, effected by one of the systems of blood vessels which supplied it while it was grow ' , ,r ' 1 a ".

Rock port find.") corregnondennn r? the Cincinnati Commercial : "A ter rible accident occured at the McLean county (Ky.) fair on Thursday last, the particulars of which have just been received here by parties witness ing the occurrence. One L. D. Atch ison, who has been making balloon as censions at the fair f several conn ties in this vicinity, was engaged to make a daily ascension at Calhoun, Ky., and on Thursday, while prepar ing to ascend, it was noticed that the balloon was very frail, the cotton of which it was made being badly dam aged by the smoke and hot air used to inflate it. In opposition to the warn ings of the spectators tho ascent was made, and while at a height variously estimated at between 500 and 1,000 feet the charred canvas took fire, ' the balloon collapsed, and Atchison com mencod the descent at a fearful rate of velocity". When he first noticed the fire he made an effort to swing the balloon so as to fall among a clu mp of tress near the fair grounds, and par tially succeedod. He struck the limb of a gum tree in in his descent, break ing ou" the limb, which arrested his speed and fell with him to the ground. "The spectators, some of whom were so horror-stricken they could not follow his descent, saw him as he came ' down and disappeared .behind the fence inclosing the ground. The peoplo made a rush for the spot, and so great was the rush that a large portion of the fence was broken down. Atchison was found lyisj insensible under tho slowly burning canvass of the balloon, and the heavy limb of the tree lying across his prostrate body, which ap parently struck the earth with eiich force as lb make a deep indentation. He was taken up and conveyed to a hotel, where it was ascertained that his loft" thigh bone was hadly fractured, but no. other bones were broken. He ronoverert consciousness in a short time and told those around him that when ' he discovered the fire in tho balloon he resigned himself to death, but mado the effort to guide the- balloon to tho timber as a sort of forlorn hope. lie retained bis prcsonce of mind until he struck the tree, when the blow stunned him, and he lost consciousness. The physicians think he will be able to get about in a few weeks, no internal in juries having been discovered, but the external bruises are fearful, under all of which the poor young man, who is only about twenty-three years old, bears up with great cheerfulness. TUB I'ROUKEHS OF FIND CPI.TtJRB. The establishment of tbe Un'ted States Fish Commission, under the di rection of Mr. Livingstone, on tho McCIoud river, in California, for '-securing the eggs of the California salmon, for introduction into Eastern waters, and which has just been closed for the season, has been highly success ful in its object, no less than 9,000,000 eggs having been obtained. The great er part of these have already been shipped to the Fish Commissioners of the various States to be by them hatched and planted in appropriate waters. Due provision has been made for a supply to tbe waters of every State. Large numbers have been sent to Texas to be hatched under tho direction of the Commission. Several millions of salmon egg are now batch ing out in the waters of the McCIoud river for the increase of the supply iu the Sacramento. Part of the expense of this latter work is borne by Gov. Stanford and other citizens of Cali fornia. Operations in connection will the tnking of the eggs of tbe sea salmon and of the land-locked ealmon of Maine have also begun under direc tion of Charles G.
