The End of a Quarrel
Mr, Terry Iras an oM bachelor and
Miss Brings u an old maid, lie
lived In the brick bouse on the bill and
she In the cottago opposite, and they
were mortal enemies. He despised ber
because she kept two cats and a canary
and she loathed him for bis affection
for a huge mastiff, and an old knock
kneed horse.
Miss Brigjrs w ould have bardlv felt
pleased had she known that Mr. l'erry
rode back and forward on this worn
out piece of horse-flesh for the purpose
of annoying her.
They cfcver spoke, but they managed
to keep up a perfect warfare by dis
agreeable manners and wrathful
glances.
fche sat hour after hour beneath the
canary bird in the window, with her
cat perched upon the hill and her knit
ting in her hand, throwing glances of
scorn to the opiosite. side, where he,
with a cigar and newspaier, received
and paid them back with interest.
For two years ihey lived aud fought

twecu theiu. It was a pity, the neigh
bors all said, for Miss lSriggs was a
dear little soul and there was not a
betfr man in the country than .Mr.
l'errv.
"Julia, mv love," said Mrs. Terkins
one afternoon, as bhe entered the cozy
tarlor, "l am going to have a party and
1 want vou W come down m the after-
noon to tea and remain during the
venire' llvcrv one will be there.
"Will that olil bach over the way be
there?
"Mr. Tern? OIi. yes! "We could
nut wt aloin' without htm."
"Then that settles the matter. I
shan't l'j."
"Now Julia, don't be so foolish! If
vou remain at home he will think that
you are afraid of him."
M.ss Hrigs thought the matter over.
Well, it would look a little like that,
and she would not have him think so
for the world the conceited wretch!
Mrs. lVtkins went home and it was
arranged that Miss Brings was to
sjh-uiI the afternoon and remain for the
I artv.
Mie was a pretty little woman and it
wad always a puzzle to every one wny
she never married. ihe had a rouud,
roy face, clear-brown eyes, and beau
tiful hair, and If she was 30 there was
not a smarter woman in town.
She st.HHl before the looking-glass In
the rhuruler and fastened her lace col
lar over the neck of her dress with a
plain gold brooch, and began to think
that she looked very well. There was
a bright, healthy flush upon her eheek,
aud her eves were full of light and
beauty.
She walked into Mrs. Terkins' sitting-room
and found her awaiting tier
with a smiling faee. Mio thought that
she must be in a very good humor, but
aid I uolhing, allowing the good lady to
smile as long and pleasantly as she
Wished.
She understood it all when supper
time came and Mr. l'eikins entered,
followed by Mr. l'erry. This was a
well-laid plan to make the two become
friends.
Miss Brlggs bit her lip and Inwardly
vowed that nothing would tempt her
to give "that man" her hand in friend
ship. Mie hated him and always
would.
lie was placed directly opposite at
the table and many times forced to iass
the biscuits and preserves, aud Miss
l'erry accepted them, although she de
clared to Mrs. Perkins after supper that
theymearly choked her.
Ik-fore evening they were both per
suaded to be civil, and Miss Briggs was
frightened when she found herself talk
ing to him with ease and pleasant famil
iarity. At the end of the evening Miss Brlggs
was at tbe door ready lo depart, when
he called:
"M7sT"Uri,' rim gotirjrrrtstt-uir
your way. W ill you ruler"
Would she ride behind that old horse
and beside that detestible man? She
was wondering whether she would or
not when Mrs. I'erkius came and tri
umphantly led her out aud packed ber
into the carriage,
ItVas as dark as pitch and they had
to let the horse go lus own way and
find it the best he could. He did so
very well until they reached the cottage,
aud then he was bewildered.
Mr. l'erry spoke, jerked the reins.
but to no purpose. lie then took out
the whip. Whether his natural dislike
to that article or the memory of the in
dignities be had suffered from the bands
of the owner of the cottage overcame
hiin It is hard to decide, but at all
events he kicked up his heels, ran a
few yards and fell, overturning the
buggy and its conteuts.
Miss Uriggs was up in a moment, un
harmed, but Mr. l'erry was silent as
the grave. She ran shouting through
the darkness until Mr. l'erry's "help"
came with a lantern to her assistance.
They found the ioor man half dead
beneath the carriage, and while lan
was at work Miss liiiggs ran home for
her own servant. Alter much bard
labor they succeeded in extricating him
from the wreck, but he was senseless
and they bore lam home and sent for
the doctor. Upon examination they
found bis leg to be broken, and thus
Mis Ilriggs' enemy was at her mercy.
The days and weeks that followed
were dreadful ones to the sufferer, but
Miss Brings never left him. lfciy and
night she stood beside him and her
plump hands administered to every
want.
lie forgot the cats and the canary.
He only saw a little patient woman
with a pretty face, trim figure, and
teuder hands, and would you believe
It? fell in love with her.
How could he help It. She had sat
by him through the dreary days of pain,
she had brought him her preserves and
nice invigorating cordials. Sue bad,
in all probability, saved bis life.
W hat could he do? .Nothing but fall
In love.
"Miss Briggs," he said, one day when
be was able to sit up.
"Well, Mr. l'erry."
"Ton have been very good to me.
and I feel as though 1 owe you a good
deal."
"There! now stop just where you are.
You owe me nothing."
"But would you mind If I trespassed
a little further ou jour good nature?"
"Not at all."
"Well, Miss Br!gg will you take
me In charge for the rest of my lifer"
"What?"
"Will you marry me?"
Miss Brlggs blushed and her answer
came thus:
"I will marry you."
There was a wedding in the church a
few weeks later.

WESTERS AUSTRALIA.
(be Native Very Low in The Scalo
of ala.rba.rlsm.
It hA8 been reported at different times
hat many of the natives ou the north
eastern coast of Australia are cannibals,
but this charge has never been brought
against even the worst of the west Aus
tralian blacks. They are a hideous
race, and aliout as low in the scale of
civilization as it is possible to go. To
see a native girl digging in the ground
for dalgeits and hoodies (their names
for two kinds of small burrowing mar
uipials, the flesh of which they esteem
very highly,) crouching on net haunches
ind breaking away the earth with a
long stick in one band, while with the
nails aud lingers of the other band she
throws it behind her. for all the world
like a dog burrowing after a rat, is as
disgusting a sight as it is possible fur a
man and brother to behold, unless it be
to see her lord aud master lying asleep
and, if be had the opportunity of get
ting grog, drunk lu the but close by,
with perhaps two or tliree old hags, a
couple of half starved kangaroo bounds
and a mass of skins, opposum remains
and filth, which makes one turn away
with loathing from the scene.
The huts which they build for them
selves are the most temporary and
roughest kind of constructions. A
few large branches leaning together in
the shape of a rouud hut, covered some
times with strips of bark off the "paper
baik," a tree ttiat affords a tough and
tibious covering, and only large enough
for three or four to lie down in, aud
pietty close together, too. Such is
their idea of "home."
The utmost limit of their clothing in
the bush is a kangaroo skin cloak aud a
band of hair which they tie around their
heads to keep their own swarthy looks
out of their eyes. In the north and
where white men are scarce they go en
tirely naked, aud appear to be without
the sense of sliame. .Every man has
the right to tluce or lour wives, and
they generally have them of very vari
ous ages. An old gray haired man of
ten has a wife ot l'J years old among
others. It is, of course, rather a stretch
of language to call them wives, for they
bave no kind of marriage ceremony,
and are as often secured by abduction as
by purchase. This way ot winning a
wife is naturally conducive to constant
fighting, which forms a large part of
the interest of their lives, the more so
as owing to tbe low value set upon
women's lives, that sex (which it is re
ally impossible in this connection to
speak of as the fair sex) is scarce.
They eat any kind of food they can
lay their hands upon, meat of any kind,
of course, aud no matter how stale, the
fat and entrails quite uncooked and the
remainder scarcely more prepared.
Snakes, lizards, frogs, bite ants, grubs
of almost any kind and the bodies of
some kind of mot lis they esteem highly.
The women, who always have to do
anything in the way of carrying that
has to be done, carry their babies (pick
aninles) slung over their backs in a
kangaroo skin, If a womau has not
got a baby to carry, or sometimes even
if she has, she carries a bag made of
the same material, the conteuts of
which constitute their only food against
future want. It is an awful thing to
see the contents of this bag. The writer
Las seen two women, w ho had come up
to an Australian station to beg for
food, given the remains of a rice pud
ding iu a pudding dish. The one who
carried the bag took it down off her
shoulders and gravely began to uuload
it on top, perhais, two or three crusts
of bread, green witti mold, theu a piece
of raw meat half putrefied: an old to
bacco pipe; an opossum's skin; some
red clay, a little greasy; black hair;
and at last a very dirty piece of an old
flannel shirt was reached. This, which
was about a foot wiu;ir. ii ea4
carefully as'the ground. ' The contents
of the pudding dish were scooped Into
It with a most tiltiiy baud, it was
neatly and gravely folded up and put
back in the bottom of the bag, and theu
the other valuables were replaced on
top of it.
And yet, though so degraded, they
are far from useless, these creatures.
They make tolerably good shepherds,
can be taught to use their hands skill
fully in any way that is desired, aud
the good ones among them may be
trusted to do things that many a white
man would not do well and conscienti
ously. Settlers will send their horses
long distances in charge of a "black
fellow," and sheep, too, are often in
trusted to them to drive to out-lying
stations or dowu into the to n to mar
ket. Even those of them who have been
brought most near to a state of civiliza
tion require every now and then a
month iu a savage state in the bush,

stable yard, in clothes, and apiearmg

"wilgie," and carrying a small shield.

angs (or keileys as they call them), set
ting out lor a monin iu the woods with
three or four more of their tribe.
When natives are out in the bush it
is necessary for them always to go fully
armed, ror almost every native of an
other tribe is their enemy to the death,
and they are broken up into a great
number of tribes. If a native of one
tribes dies a member of another tribe
lias to be killed. This Is the nearest
thing they have to any religious code.
and it is in vain that white men have
tried to stamp out the savage custom.
Their principal weapon of otfense is the
spear, the bow and arrow being quite
unknown among tnern.
They have no ideas, however rudi
mentary, of a creator or supreme being,
anu me oniy consciousness ot the super
uaiurai wnicn tney seem to nave is a
fear of evil spirits; these they appear to
associate with dead people who have
been left unburied. They attribute all
illness to the machinations of these bad
spirits.

FARM NOTES.
How Girls Mat Bcild a
roctTBT Fexcb- Some girls who
are poultry farmers bave no fathers or
brothers, to build fences for them.
Some girls' fathers and brothers will
not build fences for mem unm uj-
and-bv," although the lence question
Is a serious one now, when the hens
must be kept from the corn, the ducks
from the strawberries, and the turkey3
from the young chickens. If tha
poultry department Is grand enough to
need separate yards for different breeds,
and chickens of different ages, fence
building and mending is an Important
part of the work and expense. Any
vigorous girl who can play tennis well,
can make a simple lata fence. If the
posts Lave been driven for her; indeed
most girls can drive in light scantlinz
posts "all by their lane." The girls
who are not equal to either of these
tasks may like to know of a light, por
table, and serviceable fence. It is
made by nailing laths together in
square frames, which are to be tied or
nailed to each other and to email stakes
pointed and driven into the ground.
For grown-up chickens fourteen laths
are enough for each frame, which w Jl
be four feet rquare. The length of a
common building lath is four feet, and
one's calculations for fences of th s
kind must be based upon that. The
bundles sold at lumber-yerds contain
about one hundred laths, and will make
seven frames or twenty-eight running
feet of rencing. To make the frames
lay out a Equare of four laths, nail
them in place, and then nail ten more
laths across, that will make the dis
tance between them about three Inches.
Make it all firm and straight. Turn
over the frame and clinch or break oil
the nails, driving it more from that
- - -1' - l-j as strong a possi
ble" with suca TTiilit material. Clinch
ing nails are best. Drive in one stake
for every two frames and fasten two
frames together, and then attach to
their posts w;tu nails or strong twine.
One frame must be left loose lor a
gate.
This makes a stronger fence than one
would suppose, and will stand against
high winds or almost anything but
large dogs, which sometimes break
them.
Flower .seeds. A very common
mistake in sowing flower seeds, as well
as other seeds, is in covering too deep.
As a general rule, cover only to the
depth of tbe thickness of the seeds,
or with medium sized seeds like
balsams, zinnias, etc, a bait an Inch
or so is none too much. Such flue
seeds as portulacos need only to be

an Abundance ok sweet Coes.
Every farmer's family should have
an abundance of sweet corn, and that
means, if they are fond of ltl all that
each wants twice a day, dinner and
supper. Many prefer it, it it can be
evening meal. A succession sowing
or plaDt'.ng every ten days oi fortnight
ill give a plenty until frost comes.
This, which is a luxury to most people,
can be bad by the farmer without cost,
as the resulting fodder will more than
pay for the seed and labor. At the late
plantings give extra fertilizing; it will
come back in tbe fodder. There are
still many who do not know the super
iority of sweet corn over the "roasting
ears" of field Kinds. We do not name
varieties, but any kind of sweet corn
that with wrinkled kernels which
can be procured, is vastly better than
Geld corn. If intending to save seed,
plant at a distance from common corn,
unless that is quite out of tassel.
Perhaps Norway 1,kads in kind

to allqw horses to drink while feeding.
They bave a bucket of water pat down
beside their allowance of bay. It is
interesting, says a recent traveller, to
see with what relish they take a sip of
the one and a mouthful of the other
alternately, sometimes only muistenin;

do while eating a dinner of such dry
food. A broken-winded horse is scar
cely ever seen In Norway, and tbe
question is if tbe mode of feeding has
not something to do with tbe preserva
tion of the animal's respiratory organs.
TnEHE Is no plant that enjoys plenty
of good manure more than the rose,
and a lack of this will always result in
craggy plants and miserable blooms.
Cow manure is exceptionally good for
roses, especially when reduced to a
good compost. Dig in plenty of it
about the roots, aud especially use
plenty or it when the roses are first
planted.

much upon the weather. When the

essential to the production of a pay in

friable soil and thorough tillage.
Wn at Is it that can te taken from

to this riddle, says an exchange, is in
the one word clover. And its advice
is to sow clover whenever there is a
chance, and to sow it liberally. It is

profit, getting a valuable crop without
leaving the land In a poorer condition

to be avoided. Writing the first given

Grates ix Fever. Dr. Hartsen of
Cannes.recommends grapes as a valua
ble diet in fever. The grapes contain
a considerable amount of hydro-carbon
aceous matter, together with a certain
Quantity of potassium salts, a combina
tion which does not irritate, but, on
tbe contrary, soothes tbe stomach, and
consequently is used with advantage,
even in dyspepsia. While considering
the carbo-hydrates contained in the
grape, we must not neglect the organic
acids, particularly tartaric acid. Dr.
Hartsen thinks tbe nourishing influen
ces of these acids too much neglected
It Is indeed known that they are
changed to carbonic acid in the blood.
And weitM nj carbonfltAH in tliA
urine, l'ossilriy careful research might
show that, under some circumstances,
the organic acids are changed to fats.
Dr. Hartsen believes that the organic
acids should be ranked with the carbo
hydrates as foods. Wben fresh prapes
are not to be had, raisins or diluted
wine might be used.

JL yew Belt on Saturn. At a recent
meeting of the I loyal Astronomical So
ciety, Mr. Banyard read a note oa a
narrow belt which he had seen on the
planet Saturn. He said that he believ
ed narrow belts similar to those seen
upon Jupiter were very rare. There
were many observations of broad belts
of a bluish-brown color upon tbe ball
of the planet; Dut he was not aware of
any other observation of a sharply de
fined narrow belt. While observing
tbe planet on the evening of November
4. with an Is inch silver on glass re Hec
tor, be noticed a narrow dark belt
which stretched across the disk, and at
moments of good definition could be
seen to fade away toward either limb;
but be tbought that the decrease lu in
tensity was not as marked as in the
case of similar belts upon Jupiter. The
color of the belt was a dark blue gray,
strikingly different from the reddish
brown of tbe belts upon Jupiter. On
the 4th of November it was a striking
object, nearly as easily seen as the Cas-
slni division on the ring, though not so
dark. He estimated its breadth as not
double tbe breadth of tbe Casslnl divis
ion, where it is seen broadest in tbe
ansae. The belt was again seen on tbe
13th of November, but was not then so
conspicuous, and the definition was not
so good as on the 4th. On the 21st be
mw it airam, and it waa auao Man by
Mr. Hopkins, who observed it with
him. He bad tried to find whether any
other nersons had it, and found that
Dr. ?opeland bad on the Cth of No
vember seen a dark belt, which be de
scribed as in about twenty degrees
so nth latitude, sharp toward the equa
tor, and shading off toward tbe pole.
He estimated its breadth at about twice
that of the great division in the ring.
It should be remarked that taking ten
and a quarter hours as the rotation
period of the planet, tbe opposite side
of the ball would bave been turned to
ward tbe earth at the time of Dr. Cope
land's observation as compared with
Mr. Kanyard's observations of the 4th
