Wherever there is a dlsporltiou to

of Idleness and tluiftlessnesa in a'l
lands is indifference among working

management. Willing hands are uever
wholly idle. Duties press so closely
en men and women with proper con
ceptions of the woith of living, as to
eep theiu employe 1 all the while, an 1
uttlie same time never overworking
them. There Is much in the maimer
of doing work to escape being wearii d

is a method of doing things, by which
people uever appear to be idle, ilen
who inquire foituue andrlsetJ emi
nence are never idle and never really
exhausted. Such people have their time
for thought as well as that for exertion,
and it is to the efforts of such people
that the world owes the grandest
achievements that glitter 0:1 its records.
When boys and ineu in any place of

THE MAN WHO LAUGHS-
Tna Good It Doai Him. In Every
Way. to Shak His Sides.
"Mistrust that man that hath no mood
foi laughter."
"A merry heart doeth good like med
icine. Tlie lau.-hing man is a healthy man.
"Tners is not the remotest corner or
little inlet of the minute blood vessels
of the human body that does not feel
some wavelet from the convulsions oc
casioned by good hearty laughter, said
a well-known physician. Tlie life
principle, or the central man, is shaken
to Its innermost depths sending lewtides
of life and streusrth to the surface, thus
materially tending to Insure go-d
health to the pe sons who indulge
therein. The bl od u.ovei more rapid

to all ths organs of tlie bo ly, a It vis
its them on that particular mystic jour
ney, wht n the man is laughing from
w hat it does at other times. For this
reison every god, hearty laii?h in
w liich a person indulges tends to length
en his life, conveying, as It does, new
aud distinct stimulus to the vital
forces."
The world's greatest criminals have
always been men who did not laugh.
Enjoyment in life really depen Is upon
one's capacity for laughter that is. on
one's readiness to dete.-t the incongru
ous, the uiirxprcteJ, the humorous side
of things.
"There is always something to laugh
at iu this w orld, anl if every tliintj else
tails, vo l can lauili at yourself."
A man mar sneer or snigger, aud a
woman may simper, but lliat is not
laughter. It is not enough to 'snitf
and titter and giggle from your throat
outward" there must be a general re
laxation of the muscles, a broad lam
bent light must spread over the
WTinktm countenance, a gleam of con
scious mirth must come from the .-hilling
eye', a score of p e.isaut curves
must elongate about the parte 1 dps;
there must be a backward pose of tlie
head aud a couvulsive ru .veiuent of tli
ribs, and then a musical x.d of ha. ha,
h i's. a rei'eratiou of melodious gutfaws.
That is tlie km I of laughter which

Kev. Charles II. Hiton, or New
Vork, says: 1'aus.inias gives a i!escr lo
tion of Troph -nius cave w hich he to Is
us was mad-; in the form of a hu -e
oven and had many peculiar circum
stan -m!, w hich dispjsel the parson who
entered it to be more eusive and
tlioiightful than ordinary. A man who
had once male his entry into this cave
was never observed to laugh again. It
was usual In those days when any one
was more than usually gloomy to say
that he looked like one who hid just
come out of Trophoalus cave. Tuerj
are some wh look upon Christianity
and the church as a kind of Trophon
lus' cave. There can be no doubt that
certain pessimistic views which hive
lieen associated with the Christian doc
triue aud some of the teachings of tV
pulpit afford justification for the opiuiou
that ChrL-tianity favors a gloomy dis
jHisdion. A conventual sermon was
oace preached in Rome, in which it
was asserted that laughter was tlie re
sult of original sin. anl that Ad 1111
could not lauirh before the fall. It is
also true that" hristian experience tends
t a serious ami compose 1 frame of
mind. Hat the Ol 1 Testament writei
A lio said "laughter Is mad," said al o
"There is time to laugh." I think it
was a Christian philosopher wn. said,
Laughter is the property of rea
son, though its excess is folly."
It must be almitted that Simeon
S yiites did not Indulge very mu-h iu
laughter, but it may be said also that
he equally dispensed with the true
Christian spirit and maimer of life.
The old masters have painted the in
nocent and wonder eyed babe in
tlie manger and the thorn crowned ami
bleeding victim. The woild waits the
master who s'lall paint Const watching
the children at their games in the
street and drawing th-m to him by his
go k1 cheer and quiet laugh. All are
agreed that laughter is gool for the
body and tlie soul. Titus "thought he
h 1 1 l.jst a u iy when he bad pass'.-d it
without laughing." Sterne says,
"Iiujhter lengthens the term of life."
We are rain'iiar with "Iiugh and grow
fat," while Goethe declares, "lie who
laughs ran commit no sin."
Dr. Deems, of the Church of the
Stranger, says:
I-iughter is good. It may really be
doubtid whether any but a good man
an really lauglu Children can. The
b-st and purest laughter in the world
0 ues from children, from bright aud
ool voung peop'e. and from men who
are most thorough'y sanctified. This
observation is the res ill of wht I have
seen of laughter for sixty years in many
limea. So far from supposing that
1 1. re is anything profane in laughter, it
is quite the reverse. Who should laugh
like those who have the peace of Jio l
w hich passeth all under-tan Hug? I r -memberonce
sittinz in the gallery of
a church in lindou near a gentlem in
who had a very pure aud raJiant face.
I have seldom known a man to laugh
more at a dinner party thau that man
did during the sermon. He seemed to
bo always laughlux when he was not
praying. The sermon was a solemn,
logical, pungent presentation doctrine.
Every new turn aud shape whl?h the
argtime.it took surprised him Into a
"holy laugh " H seems to me there
can be no doubt thatther. is laughter in
heaven and that the tous of God hare
not yet forgotten how to shout. If any
new combination of ideas hould strike'
a cherub or a seraph, v.l be should
roar or roll with laughter, it does not
seem to me that it would be uncheru
blc or unseraphlc It would be a trib
ute cf praise to the author of intellect
and to the God who keeps up the varie

MIGRATION OF ANIMALS.
BY PEOF. 8. M. WATLA5D.
The migration of certain animals, at
particular seasons, from one country to
another, in search of a climate or dis
trict congenl u to their habits, f irms
one of the most remarkable phenomena
in natural history. j
Migration takes place with quadru
ivds, fishes, birds and insects. As to
the lirst, it does not appear that any of
them migrate erioilicallyand regularly,
likemany species of fish and birds, for
w hich a sutli tient reason may be found
iu the aim ;st interrupted passage which
air aud water rmit, whilst tlie land
offers many impediments to change of
place. Yet some q-iadrupeds a-e s id -deuly
seized by the desire of migration.
The lemming rat, which is found in the
northern part of K'irope, migrates at
irregular periods when a severe winter
is approaching, in incr dible numbers,
and always in a straight line, stopping
not for rivers or lakes. Some other
quadrupeds, also, occasionally move in
large numbers, aud for considerable
distances; but the e expeditious do not
take place at regular periods, aud seem
to be owing to accidental causes.
Some fishes remove into warmer situ
ations during winter; thus the salmon
leaves the rivers and shores, ou the
approach of w inter, to seek ths warmer
waters of the deep sea. Other Csli do
the same Th co l-flsh inova In great
numbers, atout the month of May,
from 1 he northern seas towards New
foundland. The shoals of herrings,
which Tio licaliy traverse the ocean,
are innumerable. The same is the case
wi.h the ma-kiTel. pilchard, anchovy,
etc. Tnat ins. ctf migrate is well-known
for instiii'.-e locusts, ants, etc aud
move with surprising obstinacy, in a
given direction.
Tlu aniui iK however, with whose
migrations man is most familiar, an 1
which aptear to migrate most regularly,
ar-s mie sp cies of birds. The fads
which are known reUtive to this point
are very curious, and afford a vast tieid
f. r intere ting oloervatlon. Some birds
legularly return, after a certain absence,
not only to the same country,
but tj the same spot where
they built their nests be'ore, or
w here they were bred. Mny storks,
waich becjme half tame in Germany,
have lieen marked, and found to return
regularly to their old nests, built on a
wheel, which the peasauts of that coun
try, particularly iu the north, place, for
that putros", 0:1 the corner of the rojfs
of their houes. The same Is related of
swalIow-3. and other birds of pa-sag".
Otli.-r birds do not return to a particu
lar count'y, but travel, according to
Circumstances, from one to another.
Among the former are soma which re
main in the country of their nativity
ou'y as long as is necessary to b:ee I
and bring up the r young; others aie
ab-cnt but for a very short time.
Hunters a-id other people living much
in the open air, know that certain birds
d not migrate, except on the approach
of a severe w inter, llow are these birds
led tit migrate at su -h seasons? The
general aud easy answer is, by instinct.
Ilut what Is Instinct? Ceitaiuly we
cannot mean, by this term, a constant
direct interpisiuon of 1'iovideiice,
which drives the birds away because a
severe winter is cominjr on. Instinct,
whatever it may lie, must be guided by
general laws. Iu what way, however,
the birds are led to guard against the
severity of the approaching reason,
whether by peculiar sensibility to the
causes from which its severity will pro
ceed, or In other ways, we know not.
It has been maiutamed that much of
the conduct of animals necessarily im
plies reflection. Tlie vicissitudes of the
atmosphere, on the arrival of the mi
grating time, have also a great indu
euc up m them.
Most birds perform their m'gration
during the night; some species, how
ever, by day. Others stop n t, c ither
by day or night. To tlie cla which
fly by day belong the birds of prey
which obtain their food by day ihe
crow, pie, titmouse, wren, woo lpecker.
chailiiich, goldtriich, lark, swallow, and
some others. Those which travel by
night are the owl. blackbird1, etc.. ami
a great number of aquatic birds. Those
which stop not, day or night, are the
heron, wtetail. yellow hammer, plover,
st rk. crane, wild poise, swan. It Is
very remarkable, that individuals of
those species which travel day ail
11 glit, and w.iioii, by some cause, sue
pi. vented f.otu migrating, remain dur
1 all the tune of the migration of
tl.eir species, awake, anl only occupy
themselves with taking fool. These
birds like particularly to travel in
bright moonlight.
Many birds obtain their food on thi
whig. ' The s wall o .s. traversing the
sea, catch insects. :.nd u-hing birds
citchlish, whilst they continue their
jo-uney. If the titmouse, wren, woo 1
pecker aud p:e rest for some lime on
the branches of tre-s, they mi resume
their llight, alter having fed. Those
birds which habitually alight ou spots
where they hud nourishment in abun
dance, never remain longer than two
d iys in sue ession, if nothing opposes
the continuance of their il'ght. It is a
curious fact that at these times many
birds utter cries such that they are never
heard to make at any other time. Un
ies. obliged by fog to keep near the
ground birds generally fly very high
during their migration.
Of all migrati.ig birds the cranes are
perhaps the most remarkable. They
se-m to be most endowed with fore
sight. They call each other by certa n
ci les several days before they depart,
assemble and m ike a creat noise, as if
consulting; aflT which they range
themselves In two lines forming an
angle, at the vertex of which is the
leader, w ho appears to exercise author
ity and give orders, for instance, to
form a circle in a tempest, or to be
w tichful if eaglei approach, et; he
always gives the sigu to descend and
take foo 1. If he is tire I. he places him
self at the end of the Hue, and the next
bird behind him takes his pla-e. They
utter, dur.iig the night, more piercing
cries thau during tin day, and it seems
as if orders an I au -wers were given.
Wild geese aud ducks travel In a simi
lar way. To enable birds to fly with
ease, and to continue long on the wing,
they must OV against the wind, in
which respect flying ;s directly opposite
to Ki'lintj.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.
Preserving Garments from Moths
To any one who has gone through
the anuual struggle with moths of va
rious kinds, the prospect of a dwelling
place where they are not certainly
presents many attractions. Eternal
vigilance is necessary to prevent the de
posit of the eggs from which the grub
or worm is hatched which does the mis
chief, and only prevention is of use,
unle-ss the most extreme measures
are resorted to. Most of the moth pre
ventives, moth destroyers, and even
codar closets are worse than worthless
after the eggs are deposited, lulling the
sji 1 of the housewife into fancied se
curity, reserving for some future day
the shock of finding all of her best furs
and flannels destroyed. For the little
grub is an epicure, and seeks the ma t
toothsome morsels wherewith to sat
isfy his appetite, t' e best grades of fur
will be attacked, when common or low
grades will be passed by aud left un
harmed. In an emergency, however,
everything in the fur Hue, aud all wool
ens, however, undesirable, are lueat for
this insatiate pest.
There are several varieties of moths
which are destroyers of wearing ap
parel. Those best known in this coun
try are the ordinary small sllvei-winged
insect, the parent of the tiny, sm mii h
brown grub which is the depreJat i;
aud the buffalo moth, a larger, more
hardy and most voracious creature,
wedge shaped, black and woolly.
which not only devours furJ, flannels
and carpets, but feathers, and some
times silk and-wool goods as well. It
has lieen taid that they eat the latter
for the sake of the wool; but, however
that may be, the a lk is eaten through
and the garaieuts are rendered worth
less. But it is all-woo. goods aud la
furs that this creature revels; and some
Idea of iu destroying capacity may be
gathered from the fact that withm four
weeks time a cream-w hiledoulde sh-iwd
of tine Chuddah was eaten into abso
lute woi thlessness. pjrtious as large as
the palm of the hand being taken out
as cleanly as though cut with scissors.
Moths prefer poods without dye, aud
consequently attack white articles tirst;
but dyes do not. as a rule, interfere
seriously with their appetites.
It is generally supposed that moths
iiegiii their work at the coming of
warm weather; and through comideiice
iu this theoiv many a garment is ne-
c looted unill the eggs are UeMsiied mit-s
told, when it is carefully packed away,
mil the moths are left undisturbed to
devour it. 1 11 large houses and steam
heated buildings, the moth, after years
of what may answer to the acclimat
ing process, seems to loose its count of
the seasons, and Hies at all times of the
year. A numkr ol moth-flies were
seen in Decemlier, January and Feb
ruary just pa-t. aud more or less injury
was doi e to garmeuls during the mild
Jays of those mouths. Mollis will
wuik in caipeLs the year round if the
tl -rs are warm, aud the utmost Cire
should be taheu that valuable articles
are not left in clothes-pr- sses or cup
boards which are adjacent to heated
chimneys. Ths warmth hatches out
the worm, which nlmost lmmedia'dy
begin to feed and soon spin for them
selves a sort of cocoon of silvery
threads, in which they pass a short
chrysats stage, emerging as flies, or
luill-rs to lay a quantity of egirs which
iu turn pro luce more worms to begin
their work ot destruction.
While it is s difficult to dislodge the
moth once the ejgs has been laid, it is
much less so to Keep it away. There
are many o lors tltat aie offensive to it.
md which will, under ordinary cir
cumstances, keep it at a distance. It
is not, however, safe to trust to these ,
.iltogelher; altii mgli. used In conuec-
tiou with other preventives, they aie
no doubt of some value. IT before the
moth eggs are laid f uis aud woolens be
thoroughly beaten w ith a light rattan or
cane, and put away in any close recep
tacle, there is every reason to lelhve
that they wili ciih out unharmed
when cold weather sets in. That cam
phor, tar-paier, cedar, or any other
strongly scented article will, if used
alone, keep moths away from woolen
garments, there is good reason to
doubt. One practical housckeeier de
clares that s e has had garments ut
teily destroyed iu a chest where she
h id placed a ourplus stock of several
u iu:ids of camphor gum. The cover
did not tit the chest closely: but, fol
lowing tradition, she took it for
gi .mie l that csmphor would keep them
out, and so gave the matter no further
thought. Owners of ce lar chests aud
closets have l-een equally unfortunate;
aud too trusting householde s have
purchased their experience iu a some
what expensive way.
To put up furs in the simplest anl
m 1st practical way it Is only ii-re.saty
to beat them thoioughly to dislodge
any concealed moth worms, aud ex
amine th-ui carefully for deposits of
eggs. Then wiap them up 111 tissue pajier
alter ward in newspaper, and then t e
the various parcels up iu a I ag ma le of
thick muslin or linen. A lady w ho
uses in her family only the finest and
most expensive of tuts anl flannels
says that after trying all sorts of ex
periments, having her garments almost
ruined lu sU ra e and paying half their
valne each year for repairs, sometimes
lielug obliged to reolace them outright,
she was given a few simple directions,
which she has ever since followed to
the jierfect preservation of her valua
bles and her own peace of mind. She
has bags made tor her finest furs, and
in these they are always placed when
not In use. The bags are consideiably
longer than the article they iuclo-e,
and are pointed at the top. When
Glleil the top or the baz is tied In a
simple knot, and by this kn.t is hung
to a hook in the ciothes-pres?. If the
garment Is a cape or cloak there is a
pi ce of very strong tape stretched
from the point of the bag downward,
and a loop at its lower en J, just in posi
tion to hold the hook of the hanger
which supports the shoulders and keeps
the garments Iu fchape. This tape
strengthens the point, as it ties in with
the kn t and prevents tearing. T. e
bags are made of heavy cotton and
starched. It is impossible for the moth
fly to lay eggs through such a covering,
and no doubt the garments would be
pc-ifectly safe if left in this way the
year round. Not risking this, bow
ever, they are wrapped in tissue paper,
then in newspaper, aud each garment
put into a paper bag tightly tied up at
the top. Several bags are then put into
one of the large cloth bags, wh.ch are
hung in a light room with plenty of
air.

it was late in the month of May; the
evsuing sou hud gone down bthind a
pile of cr 1 111 -0.1 and purple aud gold;
the air was balmy and clear, and it
seemed as though nature had done her
best to sh iw approval of Judge Hart
well's baV.
Aud to this ball Maudy True was
going! It would be a great event iu
Mandy s life, a id she had purchased a
white dress for the occasion. Tiuey
Miller, who lived on the next farm,
and who, according to the young peo
ple, 'had been around,' and according
lo the goic' dd church goers, was a
'terrible gad-about,' had told Maudy
td:e uu.sl l.ot think of appearing before
Maytic'd society iu any but a white
dress, which was then 'all the fashion.
It was such an event to be asked at
all to Jude Hartwell's. that the occa
sion w;ti ranted an extra f truggle ou the
part of Maudy, and w hile she wondered
liow the dies; would be forthcoming,
never once d;d il euler her mind to dis-olx-y
TliieyV advice, for Tiuey 'knew
the styles,' and was authority. Accord
ingly, by much coaxing and many
promises, Farmer True had yielded,
an i the dress was bought and made.
No one had ever called Maudy True
a pretty girl, though her large, dreauiy
lookoig brown eyes might have war
ranted as much. However, all agreed
that t-he had the kindest heart and
most gentle disposition of any girl
around Maylieid. And it was not woti
Ceied at that Nat Barker, on his return
from college, had foun 1 that hhe pos
ts) s el part cul.ir attractions for him. It
was two years since his return, au
iandy had reached the age of eighteen.

devottu ndiniier. It seemed understood I
by all that they would some d.iy I
Uiarr'ed.
la Mandy's mind the thought was
fiiaily settle I, while Nat llieved it as
in-vh as lie lielieved anything that he
was party t, feeling always tint it was
his particular privllegj to withdraw
from any contract, ir said contract I c
cauie liksome to him. Hut as to s
opinion of Ids was never expressed, he
was held in much esteem in Matield,
there being but 01.0 rson in town
who cou'.d not be brought to look favor
ably urou Nat Ilarkei, aud that was
young Dr. Midler, v . 1 had recent y
come from Lakevillr, aud who h id
bti-u beaid more than ouce deuouuj
Nat as 1 mo-t conceited popinjay.
The liiirht of the ball Mandy's he; it
1 eat. rapidly as he stood waiting for
her brother, who was the last to le
ready. She was a'l unconscious that
her dark skin w nied never so d srk,
aud her hands re.l and rough from lai m
work, looked all the more so iu conira-t
to the deal white ot the dress. &i:e
was thinking how the strangers from
Iikeville, who were Mrs. Hartwe.l's
guest, would admire her liaudsom
lover, aud magnanimously decided I e
should dance most of the evening wit',
them. Itwoull be sutlic:eu: iiie.i-.ii
for her to see tlie pleased look iu i.;
ejts as he jtreetd h-;r. Perhaps, she
thought, he might even whisi er a coui
pl nieut to her new dress, that clouo .1
r"fil-s and pniTs, and her mind
fi'led with such thoughts until lir y
leaclied the gate leading into the ave
nue. What af iiryphre it seemedl The
bright, highly -col ltd J.lpaues,' lan
terns that lined li e avenue liiadj au
arch over tin nate, and swung Irom all
the trees nu the lawn; the word 'we -come'
in colored lights seemed a beauli
fnl mystery to i'audy.
When she entered the drawing-r io 11
blazing with ughls ami heavy with the
perfume of flowers, she heard as iu a
Cream the pleasant greeiings of Mrs.
Il.utwell. The ba'l was just being
opened by the old-lash one 1 Virginia
reel. Never before had Maudy seen
men in eveirng slri-ss; as lor the young
girls, such visions of beauty, giace, and
stilendor of costume, sent a chid lo her
heiiit. The dre.-s which half an hour
before had been Ier pride, seeui' d
woisethan plain. The st ff fnl.s, the
uncompromising bulgy pulls, were en
tirely unlike tlie llie.y looking robes of
the dancers. Maudy was longing to
be at home when her heart wios
nd thoughts of Nat. Glauciim
along tlie line of dancers, her face
beamed wiih pleasureas her eyes lighted
I'piu him. Handsomest of all he
see ned to her, even amotig so many
good-looking strangers.
Nat, observing her intent Iook, 1-e-came
first annoyed, then let his irriga
tion turn into i-uger, w hile she thoug .1
only that the dame would lead him on
directly in front of her, and she wait d
for his welcoming smile.
The lady near her had gone forward.
Nat came up, let his glance rest on
Mandy a second, then looked away
without ai indication of having se:-::
her. The warm blood rushed over h 1
face just as the ph-asant voice of I c
tor Muller asked for the waltz, w hi. h
was to termina'e the reek Grateful
for the opportunity of covering her con
fusion, she pla ed her hand upon his
arm. As they whirled past a group s'.e
heard a light laugh, and a merry voice
exclaim:
What! not waltz, Mr. Barker? Then
come we shall teach you.'
The evening was half spent, and Na'
Barker bad not once approached Maud v
to ask for a dance. Meeting iu a
quadrille, he had spoken a few com
monplace words to her. but that w as
nil. She had left the heated room, a. a I
finding an obscure corner on the ve
anda, sat down, leaning her throbbing
jral upon her hands. She heard some
,-rson come out quite mar her, but
iould not escape from her corner wi.h
ut showing her tear-stained face.
'Barker, haven't you a sweetheart
oowtwjuei"
among these pretty girls? some one
asked.
'No, indeed,' Nat rejoined, 'I'm not
lucky that way.
'Pshaw, Barker, don't go back on'
your Firl, cried another. 'Miss Miller
told me all about it. Quite a bad case,
but she rays you must be at outs this
evening. That's nothing, old fellow;love
never runs smooth, you know. It will
be all right to-mor.ow, so I'll just give
you my congratulations now.
Sorry I can't accept and thank you,'
replied Xat, coldly, 'but you are a lit
tle premature, you see.
'Then this rumor about you and Miss
True is nothing more than this?' asked
a tall, fair man, blowing the smoke of
his cigar away in thin clouds.
'That's it,' answered Nat, "a mere
breath, and nothing more. People
have to talk, you know. Miss True is
quite a friend of mine, but that is all.
She's a good natared little thing, but a
simple country girl, not one that I
should select for a wife.'
'The words wh ch I have overheard,'
said Doctor Muller, stepping out ou
the veranda, 'warrant niy Interruption.
I am rejoiced to learn that Mr. Barker
aud Miss Tiue are not engaged. 1 hail
thought they were up to this moment.
And now, as you are all gentlemen, I
believe, may 1 ask you to drop the
lady's name from your conversation'
Any lady of my acquaintance, aud par
ticularly the one named, shall not be
mentioned before me 111 a light maimer.
Her defence 19 just as strong as my
right arm. I hot I am sufficiently
clear.'
'Bravol' said the tall man. taking
the doctor's hand. 'Why, Muller, 1
believe you changed yourprofessio.i and
have tutued par.-on since you lift us;
better come back.' And the speaker
tossed his cigar away just as a voice
called to them from the window, and
Mandy heard them re-enter the room.
Poor Mandy I Hie wondered if slit- was
the same gill who had I ecu so happy
hearted jut a few hours before. There
had never beeu any one to her like Nat
Barker. She had loved him completely,
immolating self on the altar of her
worship. Had a star fallen at her feet,
and been shatte.ed iuto brilliant sparks,
she would have beeu surprised; but the
fall of a star was as nothing to the fall
of her idol from its sublime height of
worshipful love.
It might have beeu an hour that she
sat there, striken dumb witli humiliat
ing pain, when a voice close by said
'Mandy, and recognizing Nat's voice,
she sprang to her feet, confronting him,
while the moonlight fell aero s her
white face.
'Why, Maudy, what in the world is
the matter?' exclaimed Nat. 'At' you
ill? You surely are not angry with me
for not asking you to dance earlier 111
the evening? ou know I had to show
attention to the sti augers tirst; but I
would rather be talking to you than to
any one else in the world, and 1 have
lieen thinking of you-you alone, all
the time.'
Mandy essayed to speak, but no sound
came from her 1 ale lips till Nat said
cheerfully, 'Come in, and we will have
this dauce,' when, pointing to the open
window, she Miid in a tone lie had never
heard the gemle Mandy use, "Go in,
Mr. Barker, and da .ce; but never
come near me again,' and she passe 1
by him aud disappe ired iu the hall.
Alter tlie ball, as Nat Barker walked
homeward, he thouuht rather with re
lief of the imputative dismissal of
Mandy, for somehow, when he saw her
white, tear-et lace, he had felt a great
longing to take that sad face between
his hands and comfort her. She was
good and true, but then soliliquized he:
There are plenty of g od girls iu the
world, and every good one can't expect
a fellow to marry her just because sue
is good. Now a brilliant girl like Miss
Fairly pshaw! there aie not many bki?
Iter in the world, and Man ly ought not
to want to ptan 1 in my way. Ol course
-he loves me, but she will get over that
soon and marry some farmer aud be
happy.'
The mouth of roses had passed, and
July was uearing its close. Never in
the annals of Maylieid had that staid
little towu been kept at suchafevei
heal of gayety, and Nat Barker was . t
ihe head of ail the social gatherings,
lie had always been a favorite 111 town,
011 account of h's manner ot tiynig lo
pie ise all; few ever foun I out his litile
com cits nil I h s h i 'it or us.ng every
one fur his own p.eisaie. To think
well ot himself was eh .ractertstic. J I is
'ather befo-e him had t lought well of
himself, and as far hack as could he
reineiulieied, the llarkeis had all held
the highest kin 1 of an opinion ot' the
Barkers. Kveu good old church-goers,
w ho had gro.mel for jens over the sin
of dancing, began toluiuk more len
iently of it under Nat's genial persua
sions. Moonlight fet-s, iaAii parties and
picnic's, all followed each other 111
quick succession; b it at none of these
w.is Maudy True to be seen. Nat w.is
glad of her abs.-nce, for he did some
t uies recall her lace, with the while,
p lined lojk, anl it made him uucjui
fort ible.
Maudy had fought the battle of grief
a'oue, and as she supposed uiiobsei Veil,
tut thy keen e es of JJoctor Muli.-r had
noted every change in her face an 1
tone. Fanner True being coi.tlued to
b-d with rheumatism, the young phy
sician visited him quite often aud had
much occasion to observe, and o'.t-u
ioii4 d to say a couif-utiug wotd to the
qu.et, womanly aiil, who was feeling
tiie bitterness of being 'not to the man
lier born.'
One evening, as the young man
walked over to the farm, he fo in I
Mandy on the porch, her dark lace
leaning against the trumpet-vine that
crept over the trell s. In her hand was
a ureat bunch of the rich re.t b ossjius,
which she held up as she spoke:
'Doctor Muller, could this vine lie
cultivated until the flower could look
more delicate, more oh, you know
what I mean! These are pretty, but
they are bold and glaring, not like the
iiii i-vsuckle and such vine-.'
'Would yoa like to change these
flowers, Miss Mandy?' he asked, taking
up a bunch. 'I think them btauliful
as nature male them.'
I would like them to smell swee','
she said, 'but I suppose flowers ate like
leople, and you can't make the common
ones look fine, no matter how hard you
try.'
People, Miss Mandy, are generally
as thay m-ake themselves. The mater a I
is g.vi-n into their hands, and they can
grow in more ways than one to resem
ble the flowers they love as well as the
'eople they admire.'
'Can they, really, Doctor Muller?
he asked, eagerly. 'Could I ever !.
iike like the ladies 1 saw at Julge
Ilaitwell's?'
He saw the trembling brown fingers
crush the scarlet blossoms, saw the
pupils of her eyes dilate, and knew that
she was terribly iu earnest.
'.I'llfi!",!!'1 umin
'You are every Inch as womanly as j
any of them. Miss Mandy,' he replied. I
She looked up at him in a troubled, j
disappointed way, xs she said: I
'I thought perhaps you would help j
me. Y"ou know how I mean. I am I
not like them.' i
'What can I do for yoi:? he quickly
asked. 'Just command me; it will I e
a great pleasure to me ti be of any ser
vice to you.'
'I want you to peasuade father to
send me away to school. He can well
afford it, and I am not so oil that 1
canrot learn, and I want very much to
go.'
'Would your father listen to me if he
refuses you?"
'Yes, yes!' she nns Aetvd in her nerv
ous eagerness. 'Ha w ill bu sure to let
me have my way if you tell him I had
better go for the change and my health.'
She laughed a liltlo scornfully over
tho words, but her face was iletermiir d.
'Befoie I speak to vour father. Miss
Mandy, let mo plead for myself. I love
you yes, better than I cn ever tell
you in words and my sweetest hopes
have lieen to win you for my wile.
Shall I now ask to Iiavo you sent f.-om
me?'
She sprang to her feet, the scarlet
blossoms tumbling in a he.ip to tha
ground.
You love me! Doctor Muller? You
would marry me? No, you are not in
earnest.'
He took her brown hands In his as he
whispers: 1 softly:
'Mandy, look at me and t?ll m j if
you doubt inc.'
She ra sed her great fearless eyes to
his; the li d crept over her face, her
eyelids quiwred anl the'i droojied, a.
si.e said f..ntly:
I do believe you but I it's very
strange.'
'Yes, Mainly, ln.-w and strange to
you, but not to me. You do not caie
lor me now. let lei me have the oppor
tunity of proving how sincerely I love
yo.i, and if possible, of winning your
lov 111 re' 11 ni."

It was the evening previous to her
g (ing olT, and Mandy had walked out
to the big gate to take her good-by look
at the lamiliar scene. The stubble
lh Ids had lost theli- harsh 1 iok in the
mellow twilight; the tall corn-stalks
iciitly nodded their tasselle.l heads,
while fiom afar could be. heard the
mourulul call of the whippoor will, and
on tiie summer air tloaltd the fragrance
of newly-cut hay. Some sheep close by
were startled by the sound of galloping
horses, aud ran hither and thither,
their bells making dlscoidaiit music, as

Man ly saw his face hush as he lifted
his li it to her, and a i:.aip pain shot
thrnigh her heart, but not for love
No, love was dead; but she could not
forget that she had loved. A Soft
smilo of Welcome wreathed her lips as
sue saw a horseman rapidly approach
ing, and she half ur.irmured:
"I'll do my best lor his sake.'
It caused the usual nine days won
der when it was known that M.iudy
Truo had gone away. Some Hai I it
must le to her Aunt B-tsey's in Kan

Uncle Jonathan's la California; but
after a whi'c they ce.i-c 1 to speculate
on her possible w h -ieabouts.
Four times had Farmer True sown
