Farmer Bnrling's Revenge.
I did love her. 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

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.

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.
