At one end ->f tho long street form ing the village of Morioka, in Japan, stood the low thatched cottege in which the sisters O-Suba and Niya lived with a widowed aunt. Their father had fall* n in battle, and his wife soon followed him to ih" grave, committing her chiidren to the care of their only remaining relative, O-Suba, the elder, was a brunette, with fparkliog black eyes and white teeth that shown between full, ruddy lips. She was talier than Niya, who was fair aud slight, with mild blue eyes and a scft voice. For over a year O-Suba had been betrothed to Kampei, the son of a neighboring farmer. Their parents had arranged the matter. Though it was not made formal by an exchange of presents, the young people regard ed it as setlled; and the marriage was deferred only until Kampei returned from a campaign against a rebel prince, in which he wr,p to follow his lord, his father being too old to take the field. When the young man called on the sisters in order to say adieu, he was mortified by O Suba's manner, which seemed to show that she regarded his absence a3 a reprieve; and his face betrayed his feelings. "Do not look thus, good Kampei, before your commander!" she said laughingly. "He will think you a coward. Go aud win booty aud come back covered with glory. Who would not be a soldier rather than a mean farmer?" she said with anima tion. "A warrior is a gentleman, has his pocket full of bright silver and is esteemed by his lord. Go, Kampei; I shall despise you if you hesitate." Kampei was stung by her tones and rose hastily. A deep sigh reach ed him, aud on turning around he saw «iya Pittipg in a corner of the room, her face buried in the icose sleeves of Ler robe. "Farewell, Niya," he said, • A sob ro9e in the girl's throat as she replied, "Farewell, Kampei. And remember," she filtered, "that if anything occurs to you, I—we shall be broken hearted." "Vcu will not forgei me, O Suba ? It will cheer me to know that." "I shall not forget you," she said impatiently; aud the young man left, catching a glance as he closed the garden gate of O-Suba waving a gay adieu, and of Niya with her face bid den in her bands. One day, a fey i*ontbg after Kam pei's departure, bis mother caliea at the cottage, and after relating a piti ful tale of bad harvests, poverty and debt, said that her husband, who was in feeble health,would be sent to. pris on if she could not get eighty riyos, and sbe begged H-Suba, as her son's beirothod, to at least lend that sum io ber, O-Suba treated the poor wo man harshly, refused the money and rcmineled her visitor that as presents iiro not yet exchanged their marriage must not be regarded as oert&in. Niya in vain urged her aunt to ap ply a portion of her little fortune to the. farmer'* reljof. fjer relatives were obdurate, and the old woman was going away sadly, when the younger girl sprang up, thrust her feet into her sandals aud hurried af ter the visitor, overtaking her before she reached the gate. "When must you have the money?" she askc4- "Witbin three days, Niya." "You shall have it," said the girl; and escaping from the thanks and blessings of the old woman, she re turned to the hou.-e. She threw her self on the mat m a corner, clasped her hands and pucjiered her brow thoughtfully. Suddenly she uttered a joyous cry. The screens were drawn back, leav ing the whole front of the house open, and x< iya cay a pair of swal lows lly into the room and perch ou the space between the wails and the ceiling, chirping and chattering to gether busily. "See, sister, the pretty birds are going to buiid; good fortune will be ours. Sh—h—b ! Dear O-Suba, do no'j disturb them and she laid her hand imploringly on her sister's arm as O-Suba laughed at her enthu siasm Niya sat there eagerly watching the poveruents of the birds and their many (lights to uuu uG while build ing their nest Her relative went out soon ajiter and Niya, after a long looji at the still busy swallows, dressed herself And went out, too. When O-Suba aud her aunt returned Niya was not at home and it was long before they saw her face. When the army to which Kampei belonged was disbanded his eotarades gave themselves up to revelry, while he, eager to see O-Suba aud anxious to see about his parents, of whote ward. He was within a short day's Jour ney of his native village, when tow ard sunset he reached a tea house bearing on one of the post 3 the sign "Chayaof the Verdant Cherry Blos som..-' Tfao ac;esns forjpinj *bo front were thrown back, showing the whole inside of the house, divided in to apartments by movable partition l -; and in one of the rooms a uumber ol "~ent'emen retainers" sat drinking, their songs teauuing tu«< puJStrtJ l.y mingled with the noise of their quar rels. As Kampei cast away, outside the veranda, his dusty sandals some of the f emale attendants ran out to meet him witn cries of weicotae. BIITLF.R. PA., FRIDAY, OOTOBRK 14.1887. "Good afternoon, tir ! Be good enough to walk inside and rest, sir. The sun is hot, the roads are parched and you must le weary. We have liquor of Ten.-uii aad Satsuma tobac co and fragrant tea." With many bows they led him in to an unoccupied room, and when food aLd drink were placed before him he was left alone. He was soon waited on by another girl, who came to inquire if he wanted anything more, and Kampei was astounded to recognize in the newcomer Niya— but not the Xiya in quiet attire, with downcast looks, whom te left behind at Morioka. She bad gay clothes; her hair was adorned with large gold headed pins and her face powdered. Xiya drew back in confusion on" seeing Kampei; then, collecting her self she advanced, and, pretending not to recognize him, saii: "A gen tlemen of the army of chastisement is welcome to the ehaya. We are thankiu! that he deigns to honor our humble fcouse by stopping here," Kampei's face was grave as he uirked: "How ia this, Niya? Has misfortune overtaken your family that O Suba and your aunt have per mitted you to become a menial in a tea house ?" The girl hung head, but did not answer. Had he been merely scornful at her loss of caste, she could be defiant; but he was evi dently sorrv for her. "Why have you doue this, Niya?" the young mau continued reproach fully. "Vou were not bora «u pover ty; you were happv; why, then did you leave home for such au occupa tion as this?" Niya looked at the mats silently. Ilea lips quivered, the blushes that mounted from bor throat to her fore head faded away, pursued by a dead ly paleness, aud her limb? trembled so much that she dropped on the grcuud and bid her face in her broad sleeves. Au old man entered from the ver anda. aud, after bowing to Kampei, described the girl motionless, with her head leaning agaiust a partition. "How!" he cried, angrily, "moping in this way with the house full of guests —troublesome fellows, too, like those samuari, who curse aud threaten if they are delayed but one moment. Up this instant, I say, or I shall use my whip on your shoul ders! ' Niya seemed giad to escape from Kampei's questions, aud she with drew, followed by the master of the house. Drawing the tobacco stand toward him Kampei filled and lit his pipe, aud while smoking puzzled himself in endeavoring to explain Xiya's presence there. The singing in the adjoining chamber grew more bois terious, and sometimes Kampei heard the clash of swords, the voices of the frightened attendants and the entreat ies of the proprietor. Ic all jarred on the young man's feelings, aud were it possible he would left the place. But there were only miserable villa ges between the chaya aud Morioka, and apart from hiß fatigue, the way was lonely and dangerous on account of robbers. He strolled to tho back of tho inn, aud pursued a little flagged path to ward a rustic sumrn er house erected on an artiuciijil mound. A gli&bt railing on either siete divided the path from the garden, where the sum mer chrysanthemums, the peonies and pinks were bursting iuto bloom, while the camelia, azalea aud prim rose gave forth expiring strength in a few delicate flowers Some late vio lets peeped timidly from the shadow of a huge rock: around the lattice work of the summer house vine ten drils struggled with dainty clematis, aud cherry blossoms, from which the house was named, bloomed in gay profusion everywhere. Sitting there in the silence of the evening, the soft landscape spread out beneath him, the odor of tlie gar den mounting to the arbor, Kampei almost forgot his receut annoyance and indulged in pleasant dreams of the future. Dusk was advancing, when he was startled by seeing Niya, wl.o iiac} approached notselosely, standing in the doorway, bha uttered a little scream ou finding the summer house occupied, aud was about to go awey, when Kampei recalled her and desired ber in a harsh voice to sit down. She obeyed, the blood mean while mounting indignantly to her forehead; and when Kampei looked severely at her she hastily brushed ftwav the traces of recent tears and said" deijantlV: "Frown not thus, good Kampei,; I am not O Suba, vour betrothed; 1 am only Niya. Are not my parents dead? And who, then, will dare to reprove me it I do what I please? Go j.O AJorioka, anq let ant] O-Suba foi-get the wretched K'iya, who will never return to her home." She rose to her feet while speaking cud was about to leaye, when Kam nei again stopped her a.id said sor towiuliy. "You have choaeu a mean calling that your parents would have reject ed as vulgar and disgraceful; their spirits are displeased, aud you can no more visit their tombs or pray before the god shelf with a peaceful mind. There was a time that I thought I loved IJiya mure than ()-Sqb», cn<l now—yah, yahj" he continued scorn fully, after a pause, "get away, you low creature ! You are no longer anything to me but the miserable tea attendant!" He turned away from her with a gesture of anger. Sub classed her hands tt> her side and staggered against the frail structure trembling; then, looking at him wildly, she ut tered a heartbroken cry and rushed down the path, past the house and across the broad road. Kampei followed the girl with his eyes, aad, when uu saw her uiimb the bank on the roadside aud spring into the river flowing slowly beyond he muttered to himself: "The death of a dog is good enough for one with so mean a soul'" j+ut btiiUii - tLoughts ijuiciiiy f,ar»je, and he determined to try and save her. Niya rose to the surface of the wa ter, and her clothing buoyod her for some moments. She did not strug gle, keut her hands thrust into the sleeves'oi uur roue, eshe sanw in the smooth current, and as her face became buried her fortitude des erted her, aud she threw up her arms with a skilled shriek. 7i;c b;;l.b'ea tfcat r,)arJ-c<J tl,e srot where sho sank were almost gone when Kampei reached the bank di vested of his sandals and outer garb mentis. He sprang into the stream and succeeded in seizing the drown, »i»k fjiri, who, though n w arly iMSbU- sible, grasped him tightly about the nock, hindering his movements Kampei, finding the place shallow, put his feet upon the ground, but to his terror they sank iuto deep mud, and he felt the water gradually ris ing upon hiiu. lie strained every muscle, but the water still mounted until they were both covered. A roar as of thunder filled his ears, and his head seemed about to burst, but he managed to preserve some cool ness By a violent effort he loosen ed Niya's frantic embrace, aad still grasping her clothing, struggled out of the mud aud gained a firm foot hold, exhausted and gasping for breath. Though his strength was almost gone and his knees he held Niya to his breast, looking anxiously iuto her face. Her eye 3 were closed, and her head fell heavily on h's arm, the hair, from which the fastenings were gone, failing over his shoulder in a thick mass and floating on the stream The incident had been observed from the chaya, and a number of men now stood oa the bank, by whose aid the two were soon placed in safety. When Kampei had seen the girl re stored to animation and given in charge of the female servants, he was forced to join the other guests by whom he was clapped on the shoul ders and praised as a hero. He slept soundly until awoke by the harsh sound of the shutters be ing moved in grooves aud by the sunlight pouring in through t-jruyus. Being de sirous of avoiding Niya be did not wait for breakfast, but set out at Kampei was overjoyed on reaching home to find his parents well and happy, their only trouble since his departure having been that caused by the avarice of their landlord lie wa3 pained to hear of O Suba's un feeling words ou the occasion of his mother's visit to the cottage, aud tho old lady's story made it evident that the subsquent sending of the money was chielly due to Niya's in tercession. Then it occured to him that the girl's present position might bo owiog to a quarrel with her rela tive on this very subject, and the idea made him remorseful. Finally he was informed that, despite her en gagement to him, O-Suba bad during his absence fouLd another lover, a European trader at one the ports, with hair and beard golden as the tress of the sun goddess, aud that there wera rumors of their approach ing marriage. His thoughts turned to poor Niya, neglected by her relatives, insulted by him, and lafc to battle alone with a world that is so cruel to the weak Kampei long lay awake that night, and the result of his meditations wa3 made known to his parents when he sp"ang from his mat soou after day break. The old couple approved of his proposals, and went to the veran da to say farewell, and to watch him fondly as he walked with a light step towards the highway, tying un qer his hg went his oohical broad brimmed straw hat. Before he had gone far his father called him back. "Take my purse, sou," he said; "chaya keepers are very bird to deal with unless they see the money bag in your hand. You will Rod iu this the gold j.ie„es you brought home yesterday." The »uu was still high in the heav eus when Kampei stopped at tho ' Chaya of the Verdant Cherry Blos som," and, after exchanging saluta tions with the proprietors, begged to see the girl Niya. She was brought iuto his presence, looking pale and alarmed, and casting timiel glances at the young man from uneloi* ber long lashes. Her bands played nervous ly with her robe and she looked about anxiously for a place a3 far as possible from Kampei. "Xiya," he said, "lam not angry with you, but I want to know F h y you ieft home.-' A faint cry was her only reply. "Had I any connection with it— I, Kampei ?" The girl wrung ber hands and turned her face away, looking dis trcsseel, vyithout, however, uttering a word. "Would you like to come homo again, little Niya t" ho went on In an encouraging voice. "Yah, yah ! you are too fast, young sir! broke in the master, who was sitting on the veranda smoking, and listening to Kimpei. "You are too fast. She is mine for two years. I have the Qik'Ued yy hc» ! - seu, with her receipt for the money." "Money !" cried Ivampei. "She has sold herself, then. But,"he con tinued more calmly, "1 am willing to pay you back again. See," and say ing this ho drew out his purse, stav ing to thw paster or'the house a nurh ber of gold coins. "How much was it, I pray you, good sir?" "Eighty riyos," the host replied. "Eighty riyos," echoed Kampei, a light ''awning rpon hiqj. '"Why," the host went on angrily, "that is the very purse in which I gave the girl lbs mouey, and yet you pretend not to know th it she is bound to me ! What is the meaning of ibis deceit?" Kampei recoiled. All was now plain to Lira. To save his parents fro in ruin, bis Uther probably irrom death, this poor girl, tenderly reared, sold berslf into virtual slavery, exhausting labor, ill-treatment, even stripes, would be her lot! And he had almost allowed her to drown herself when driven mad by his tav.nts! Poor ijiyai Aud she did this rot —v?aa it for his parents or for him? The ques made thoughtful Meanwhile Niya, her forehead pressed against the partition, sobbed. The moment she longed for had ar rived. Kampei now knew why she was there, knew that it was for I,is sate she tort her dear village; ' Vet she was frightenened. What bus iness had she to interfere in the af fairs of grown people? What did she know of the great world that 3he should face it so lightly'' Above ey urytiiiiag tbeiie v*aa Eauipei oniy a low feet from her, looking at most intensely—she know it without turn ing around; she felt his gaze pierce her—there was Kampei and what should she do? u "ampei ro?e riored to a s|ua and 1 whispered;' "Was it for my sake you did this, Niya?" "Why should I do for you?" she replied, evasively. "Niya," he said, looking sharply r,t htr, "4 aw 1,0 longer nllianced ' to O-Suba; she loves a fair haired for eigner, and about to marry him " She turned quickly, her cheeks glowing eyes sparkling through mist, and iu th<s happv sir>ile that tit up her lace kampei reaa her au- cret. '.Then you love me!" he cried, aud Niva's smile and blush said "Yes." "Vou did notoosult the girl's :ela tives,"said the young man turning to the host. "She told me she had none," stam mered the other alarmed for the le gality of his agreement. "Destroy the indenture, and re ceive back vour money, good sir, I beg," said Kampei. The tea house keeper agreed, and, while the two men drank together he confided to K impM that he WPS not sorry to cancel the bargain, as the girl did not suit. "She moped too much," he said; "she had t-ome hid den grief—the cause of which," he added,with a smile, "I can now di vine." O Saba and her husband left Morioki, and went to live ii one of tho Ofea ports; and Kampei and Niya after their marriage occupied the cottage formerly ten anted by the sisters. They now have three children, whom their rela tives combine to ruin by indulgence; and the eldest a sturdy boy, already speaks of the time when he will wear his father's sword, and take his place in fighting against the enemies of the mikado. CasneWs Sanitary Maga zine. Bee Notes For October. In all the Northern States all ar rangements for winter should be com pleted this month; and in the South when the hoiey flow has ceased. Each should have proper absorbing material above and holes in the caps. Give proper veutilatiou, but contract the entrance so that mice caunct gain admittance, for bees have no greater enemy during the winter than mice, and it is surprising through how small a space they will gain admit tance. Unite all small and queenless colonies together, make winter pas sages, by laying small sticks of about one inch in diameter, across the top of frames, under the cushion. Su persede old queens by introducing young ones, {t is essential that ev ery feto'-k have a good, young queen; this not only avoids the necessity of disturbing the bees in the early spring—when they should never be disturbed—but a young queen will lay earlier than an old queen, and there is no danger of losing her by old age. Some stocks may have niore toney tliau necessary, while others have not enough. If so, equalize them by di viding with the poorer colony; at the same time see that some empty cells are left upon the centre combs for the bees to cluster on. It frames are all full it would be well to cleau the honey frqm a oomb and place in centre for this purpose. When the weather is very cold it ia advisable to make holes through the centre of combs, in addition to the cross-sticks, to serve as winter passages. It must also be borne in miud that good win tering depends on plenty of young gees, with a tortile queen, an abund ance of good scaled honey easily acces sible, and warmth with proper venti lation. A cotton quilt with three or four thicknesses of batting makes as good an absorbiug material as can be used. If this caqcot ba obtained, take <tooic burlaps and make cush ions about tour inches thick, and stuff these with chaff or sawdust. In uniting beea smoke them thor oughly, and then sprinkle them with some sweetened water. The water may be scented with anise or pepper mint. Now shake the bees altogeth er into empty boxe3, using tbe h93t combs of brood and honey to place in the hive, in which you intend to winter them, then pour the bees on a entrance, when they will take pos session and no fighting will result. Should any boxes have been left on until this month, they should no\? l_o removed, nips',y efeaneci of all pollen, and then packed, as neatly and se curely as possible, in crates with glass sides. Do not glass your boxes, as it spoils the otherwise neat appear ances of your honey as well as !cg,sj ens its market y£;lt;e.H you hcive ex tracted honey, drain off any thin ho ney on top of jar. Seal It np as neat ly as possible and label with your name and address. If you winter in-doors never set bees in until cold weather commences in earnest*— Agriculturist. Paralyzed By Electricity, "narmou, the 19-year old daughter of a farmer living in Lorain, thirty miles from Cleveland, was en gaged to be married to Jacob Eber lin, an employe in one of the electric light establishments here.

Relation of the Saloon to Poli tics. Hon. Win. Windom at Ecfeland Park.] The statement would perhaps be more accurate to say the relation of politics to the saloon; for in most of our ci*ies the dnnkiug saloon is the central pjwer arouud which politics revolve, aud which dictates candi dates and party politics Even in our National election* if sometimes exercises a controlling influence and decides Presidential contests, By the peculiar relation of political par ties New York has become a pivotal state. The saloous rule the city, the city rules the state, and the state de cides what shall be the ruling power of the Republic. We are, therefore, to all intents and purposes, a ruui ruled nation. We shall not be sur prised at the übility of this organiza tion to accomplish these results if we glance at its magnitude and re sources It claims to have, ia the United States, $1,000,000,000 invested in tbe business of making andseliing liquor. There are at least 500,000 direct em ployes. Millions of poor miserable viciims and camp-followers stand ready to do its bidding. It is sup ported and defended by the viciou-* Uabits, appetite', passions and preju dices, of millions of our people. Its revenues are larger, and the percen tage of profits far greater, as the sta tistics prove, thau arc derived from all of our 140,000 miles of railroad. Add to all this, the disgraceful fact that, with these mighty at command, it has formed a close al liance, offensive and defensive, with one of the great political parties of the country. Is it any wonder, then, that such au organization, with such resources, aud such political alliances, has become the ruling power in many parts of the republic, and that it boldly proclaims its power of supreme political dominion? I do not pause to describe the hideous character of its rule in our cities and towns,where it has full sway, for your own experi ence and observation will speak more eloquently on that point than any words of mine. My purpose just now is to show that while we read with honest pride our grand and im mortal Declaration of Independence, we are to,-day the subjects of a tyrant more exacting, cruel, intolerant and hateful, than ever wielded a roval scepter, or disgraced a kingly crown. Slill at Large. From Parker Pluanix.} The dead beat and villain, A. C. Hile, who gained such an unenviable reputation during his short sojourns in this section, and "who was com pelled to leave Youngstown, Ohio, for outraging a ten year old girl, has again turued up, this time at Tidi oute, under the name of Rowland. The woman referred to in the follow ipg clipping from the Tidioute New -e, is Adaliue Kelly, a daughter of A. I). Kelly, of this place. The' girl was but seventeen years of age, aud met tho vile and degraded villain while living with friends in last Summer and, \yui iuduced by him to ",ea»e a comfortable home. We un derstand that immediate steps will be taken toward a full and complete investigation of the affair, and if there is any of foul play, the "•ay and festive machine will find himself languished be hind the bars, where, if he had had his dues, he would have been long since : Some weeks since a man who gave us his came as Rowland, accompan ied by a woman he claimed as his wife, came here to open a machine shop and do machine repairing. He boarded aronnd at various places, fin jUy wringing up at Mrs. D. S. Free man's. About two weeks ago his wife was taken sick, and symptoms showed and proved arsenical poison ing, which she claimed to have taUen by mistake for sodf*. Tie dose taken was large onougti to act as an emetic but she still remained ill. Last Sat urday night she died suddenly. A post mortem examination was held Monday, showing the cause of death to be paralysis of tjie lieart, the ef fect of tba arsenic. After her death ttowland said her relatives lived in Parker, and since her burial, Monday afternoou, we learn that a brother is coming on to investigate the matter —a thing that should be done by all means. It is surmise that the arsen ic was taken purposely 'm a lurgo dose, but not with fetal iutention. Jealousy v&i prooably the cause. A New Yorker in Boston.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—A aijskrat dug a hole iu th? bank of the canal a mile above Nashua, N. H., yesterday, and caused a disastrous flood. The torrent swept into the woods, carrying trees and all the waste around to the Nashua river behind. Tl«e river rapidly rose, and was cov ered by the yellow foam for a mile below.

The flood has thrown 3,000 employes out of work ! for an indefinite time. Apple Treasand Apples. [ A cor fspongeJt writes to the Prairie Farmer: "I have had the c re of an apple orchard for more than forty ye ire, and never lost a single apple tree in that lenrth of time from blight. Several yea-s as ;o some of my trees we'e badly afflicted with said blight. The work of cutting out the affected wood was too great for me, itly I left the trees to live cr die. In one or two years from that time no injury . could be seen. Since tLen 1 have paid no at tention to it, and considered it of minor import wee. The pear blight ■ is quite different, fjr when it kills the new wood it does not stop there, like the apple tree blight, but goes on to the destruction of the tree. Some va rieties of apples are worse affected than others, even when they are all raised through each other. I have never known the blight to injure the vitality of a tree, but it makes it look badlv." Tho feeding value of apples is not lar.e; they rank with mangels, tur nips, cabbage, and the like. Their food properties are mostly carbo-hy-. arates, or heat producing, their pro tein being only about one:half of one per cent., and the ; r nutritive ratio about one to thirty, and hence are mr>st effective when fed in connection with more nitrogenous food, like clover, but may be fed sparingly with grass. They tave a higher value than the weight of their food constit uents indicates, on account of con dimental qualities, aud from having a large percent, of those constituents in a condition to be at once absorbed aud appropriated without waiting for any special action of the stomach. Nature's Funny Freaks. Crabs, which are supposed to shad their shells every year, do not ofien shed them after they have attained their full siz9, and the creatures be come victims of barnacle 3 and all sorts ol marine growths that fasten themselves upon the shell. A re markable example of this may be seen in the British museum, where has beeu placed an old crab of the edible species, with some half a dozen oys ters of a large size fixed to its back, which load, ever increasing, the crab was doomed to carry to the end of its days. Another curious specimen preserved is that of a hairy crab, which not lararer itself than a walnut, is saddled with a sponge a3 big as a man's fist. A Rapidly Growing Girl.
