Rachel Railway looked very prettvindeed
as she came down the narrow wooden Mir-
ease of the little brawn farm-house, that af
ternoon, dressed in a white muslin dress,
strewn all over with tiny pink rosebuds, and
a fresh lace frill around her neck, tied with
pink ribbon, wine her pretty feet were but
toned into a new pair of boots, with high',
French heels, ancl her hair was curled in
loose, glossy coils of shining bronze.
"Eh 1" said ecanny Ramsay, looking up

I' It reminds me," said gisndma, shrewd

Rachel said no more, but escaped oat inta

ginning to turn pale yellow in the 'first Sep

" Grandma ie always Criticising every

And Rachel smiled to herself, as she
(ironed the rustic_ bridge and went through
the woods to the Timer, a fantastic wooden
cottage with a semi-circular front, which .
was let far the summer, the oWner. thereof
preferring to live in a square brick structure
in the village. -
The little side door was open and Rachel
went In. From the left of the paisage-way,
a door opened into the kitchen, and there,
to, her infmite amazement, she saw kris
Alice Calhoun ha-self, in
_an msthetio dress
of pale sage-green, and roses in her hair,
contemplating a pair of decapitated fowls
which lay on the table.
‘qlisslAlice I" she exclaimed: • -
"Is I!..Lat you,. Rachel ?" Cried the city
young 'pouncing on her, as a drowning
man pounces on the nearest floating straw.

to find fault with the coffee this morning,
and we have company to . dinner, and I
haven't an idea - how to get the feathers off
these creatures. But now that you are here,
everything will be right!" -
And she took oft the big bib-apron, and
stepped back, with a sign of relief.
Rachel looked perplexed. She had come
there, not to enact the roll of the kitchen
maid, but Yo . visit Miss C.aihoun,AO sit in her
Irawing-rooin and enjoy the conversation of
her guests, and she • did not exactly relish
this summary distaissid to the , kitchen. •
"There -is soup stock," went on Me
Alice, " and a salad, and a delicate piece of
halibut, and with the fowls roasted, and a
pie or pudding, or something which I dare
say you can make, we shall do very nicely.
Pm particularly._ anxious about the dinner,
because we We to have company.. You'll
excuse me now, because I have to dress."
And away tripped Wise Alice, selfish and
smiling as ever was Queen Clevarit's self.
Poor Rachel! She stood a minute in the
hot kitchen, the tears Ininging to her eyes,
a pang of disappointment at her heart. She
knew all about it. Harold Haroldson and
Mr. Dallas were to dine there that day, and
she-,,she vas to be cook, waitress, maid all.werk-Lwhat signified il< what she called
herself ? She remembered what - grandma
bad old, and for qnft- • in her life gave that
venerable lady cr edi t for discrimination.
There was no help for it, however. She
tied on the tulrapron, tacked the curls back
of her ears, and meta to work to prepare the
chickens for the oiasting pan, now and then
parsing to brush away the round, bright
ttears which rolled down her cheeks.
These young ladies evidently intended to
make her useful. She might have known
that they did, beforehand. Shp hear

at her pretty muslin dress and bows of pink

If she could only have heard the rapid and
energetic colloquy which taumpired beteieen
the two sisters in their dressing-room - when
first Alice came up stairs, she would per.
baps have better comprehended the drift of
things. -

"But you're not engaged," said Rachel,
half-pleased, half-frightened.
" I can volunteer," observed the young
man. "Give me the oil anCvinegar,
and, you will see what a dressing, ala
inaymnaise,i can provide for that salad of
yours."
And if ever a pair of cooks spent It de
lightful; unconventional sort of morning in
the kitchen this pair did.
They laughed they Made innocent jokes,
they behaved two school-children.
And at last, when Rachel run out into the
garden to gather some Water-cusses to deck
the newly roasted fowls.' Mr. Hatoldson
heard the voice of Mita Bell. Calhoun icidruig

"The cook and butler are expected to take

I've no objection to that arrangement."
And nothing could indmio Harold Harold

and Rachel " together ate their picnicing
sort of repast, 'and washed the cliches—al
though the matter somewhat lost i its spice
when the Misses Calhoun and their em

trivance, and-a very uncertain one, and sec
the first of which we, have any record as
measuring time by mechaniml means. Some,
writers think that it was in use in Chins,
,Chald • ea, and Egypt before the general know 7
dge of the sun-dial, but whether that was>
the case or not,- it was very ingenious in its
'way. It consisted of a hollow ball, flattened
a littleat the top to. the .shape of a poppy
head, from whence •it derived - its Greek
name. There was an opening at the top
where the Water was poured in, and this was
kept dosed with a stopper, so that the - water
was not liable to be spilled over, and various
small holes-on the opposite side allowed it'to
trickle out* if through a filter. Time was
tompnt,ml by the gradual diminution of the
water in the vessel. The rachestones lu.ve
been of stone, but later on, after the -inven

and the 'water, was supposed to ran dry every
hoar. No reliance hoWever, could be Owed
upon it, for theiflow of the water fluctuated
under climatic and atmospheric conditions,

"Yes, Gem" what is it ?" replied the
girl, glancing shyly upward. •
The radiant glory of a summer moon shone
don up:6 the earth this June night, bath
ing in all its mellow splendor the leafy
brandies of the sturdy: olitoaks that had for
centuries shaded*the entrance to Castle Mc
Murtry and hughed'defiance to the fierce
gales that every winter came howling 'down
in all their cruel force and- fury from the
moorlands lying to the ;westward of the cas

stretched away' to the south stood a large
brirle cow, and as the moonlight: flecked
with siliery lustre her starboard ribs she
seemed to Myrtle a perfect picture of sweet
content and ahnosf, holy calm. .

"Yes," said George W. Simpson, "ibis is

the pure., innocent face that was rifted to his,
he took in his own broad; third-base palm
the little hand that erstwhile held up Myrtle's
polonaise. As they stood there silently in
the bosky glade George passed his , arm sil
ently but firmly around Myrtle's waist.

They followed the plowman along the furrow
and were almost as tame as chickens.
Wherever there was a newly plowed field,
there you could gee the gull, and as fast as a
furrow was turned up the birds would fly
behind the plowman and commence devour
ing the insects which were ' thus exposed to ,
sight. They seemed perfectly fearless. And
they have gaid reason to be fearlesi here,
for the farmer looks upon them as hisfriend,'
and they seem to understand fully that ha
holds'them in that light. They fly all about
him, within three or fog. feet, and while
perhaps unwilling to submit to being caught,
they will allow any other familiarity that can
be practiced, for they themselves take a
great many good.natu red liberties. They
will not touch .- grain, or anything that the
fawner desires- should remain, untouched;
they only eat the worms and insects which
are injurious to the soil and to crops. Years
ago a law was passarmaking it an offence to
kill one otthese birds. The kiw is probably
yet on the statute books, but, is literally a
dead letter, because there heel been no earn-
Rion to call the law into life. .; hi farmer—in
Leek any person acquainted with the habits
of the sai-gull-would almost think of wan
tonly killing one of his own chickens as of
intentionally hartulug one of these queer
birds. As before stated, a law was passed
by the Legislature 'making it an offence to
kill a seagull: it was passed for this reason:
In thetsecond year after the pioneers had
arrived here—in 1848—the large black
crick4ts common to these mountainous re.;
gional made their appearance in this and
some other valleys in clouds- T figaratively
speaking, They did not fly, but came hop
ping amen the mountain aides in myriads.
So vast were their. numbers the mountains
were black, and seemed literally alive with
the great big, Mart, ugly things, each' one,
about the size of a large man's thumb. It
was at a time when the crops were proinis
ine; everything looked green; - the future
outliiok seemed bright, and the heart of the
sun-burned and toilworn pioneer grew
lighter as the prospects of a plentiful hawed
and greater comforts -- grew more and more
tangible with each dare gruwili of the
healthy grain. But blacker than the clouds
of C oa l blackcrickets nrhic' h came bopping
dawn the mountain slopes in countless nom
hers, leaving barrenness and ambition in
their wake, were the clouds of despair which
filled the heart of the weary husbandman as
this new and unlocked for curse came skively
but surely toward the pride, the joy, and the
promise of the, ealiy , settler—his fields of
waving corn and grain. The - foe was utterly
unconquerable so far as human efforts , were
concerned ; there was nothing the heart-sick
farmer could do but stand idly by and see
the labor of the season destroyed. Children
gazed with wonder and terror; women look.
ed with eyes full of tears, and strong mew
watched with hearts of despair. It was an
awful hour. But 10l a wonder I The sky is
filled with large birds ; they fly toward the
scene of the disaster, and they slight in the
fields'wherellie crickets hold suprette inray.
Then comes a change. At once the flocks of
birds begin to cat the crickets. From more
till night they continue; never ceasing:
When filled until they can hold no mare they
vomit up the black mass, and again continue
to est the crickets. This is kept up day
after day until not one of the devouring host
is seen; the craps are saved, and the birds
fly away:, This bird was the one which
could recentlii be seen in the fields, and
which was then more abundant than at any
time since the event above mentioned. It
was not surprising that the pioneers should
return thanks to Cod for - his enema, and that
-forever after the seaWl should be looked
upon as a dear friend, to be protected and
etaxAiraged.—Salt .Lake (Utah) Herald.

(TRAVELING IN ; -THE EAST.;
A palanquin for a sick person is a box in
which abed can be made.. One aide is open
when the person is laid in, and is closed
again and fastened. The %ox has a roof and
a window, sometimes one at each end, for
light and ventilation: It is fastened to two
poles, which project both in t front andrearof
the box, and between theta ',projecting poles
at each end a mule is made to walk, to whose
saddle the poles are attached. The mule in
front can see well enough, tint the one be
hind has a hard time, because hit face is
dose to the rear of the box, and only the
best / and most sure-footed animals are select
ed for that ffifficidt position. Even then he
is liable to stumble a good deal, to bruise
his legs, and what is worse, to shake , and
jar 'the sick person. The sick man would
roll from side to side; which would cause
the palanquit' to turn so that often two men,
and always one, bad to walk by the side of
the box to keep , it steady. Sometimes it
- would ' strike, a projecting rock or the
branches of a ree anti be almost upset. The
path, which was an natudly good one for
Syria. often went along the edge of a precipice
with ragged rock above, and the wady, now
beccnnes a frightful gorge, hundreds of feet
beneath. What if the mules should make a
misstep here Such Was always my
thought as I watched the palanquin iind the
man steadying it while passing those - danger
ous places. We were, however, > providen
eally spared from any such accident and ;its
consequent calaniity. We stopped but once
during the night, except to give our friend
