Why Don't You Tell Me "Yes?" My little girl ran in and out, Uneasy at her play, To beg for this, and sue for that, With childhood's restless way; And every favor that she asked Was one I could not grant; 'Twas "No my child, it isn't best," "No, my dear, I can't." Till wearied. I exclaimed at last: "I wish you'd stay or go; I'm tired of all this run about, And tired of saying "No." My little girl made answer then, With pretty sauciness: "If you are tired of saying "No," Why don't yoa tell me 'Yes?" Quaint Old Ben Stokely. Old Ben Stoke'y, tbe first settler of Mercer county, was doubtless one of the queerest specimens of the oldtime pioneer that ever lived in Northwest ern Pennsylvania. Coming within the present limit 6of the county in 179G, accompanied by no one save his wife and small children, he settled far beyond the reach of even the rude civilization of his primitive time, and, deeply secluded from the approach of any visitants except the Indiaus and the animals of the forest, communed alone with nature's Bolitudes. endur ing all the hardships of his life with out tbe encouragement and sympathy which the presence of tellow-workers afiords. As the influx of new adven turers and settlers, however, which occurred several years after his en trance into the county,brought neigh bors and associates, "Old Ben," as he was familiarly styled, developed by degrees into a rare social being, and in time became one of tbe foremost promoters of the welfare of the com munity, social, political and religious. In the latter cause he was specially active. While yet in the manhood of bis life a professed infidel,a fact which in later years seemed to afford the old gentleman intense delight and satis faction, he was nevertheless assiduous in assisting the early revivalists in all their endeavors towards carrying the goepel into tbe wilderness of the great northwest, Methodist, Presbyterian, Seceder were alike welcome to the hospitality of his home, although, through some strange anomoly in his disposition, representatives of the first named faith, fiercest of all in their de nunciations of his unbelief, appeared to find special favor in his eyes A curious incident, tending to dem onstrte this fact, is illustrative of the sly humor with which he delighted to manifest his appreciation of the itin erant mission. A yountf Methodist preacher, Brunson by name, now con spicuous in Mfcthodist history, whose field of labor included the vicinity ic question, in the discharge of his spir itual duties for a number of mouths availed himself of Uucle Stokely's hospitality, and upon bis arrival in the neighborhood made direct way ro the door of the gay old disbeliever, in whose house he tarried and at whose house he regaled himself. At length after this thing had been re peatek for a number of times, and when it became necessary for the young minister, owing to a shifting of , his appointment, to enter upon a new curcuit, the latter approached his en tertainer with a grateful smile, ac knowledged his obligations and his gratitude for the generous treatment he bad received and was preparing to take his departure wheu Mr. Stokely told him bluntly to "hold on a mo ment" "There's one thing you've forgot ten, feller," said he, "and that is a settlement of this here business You've got to pay me for your board an' lodgiu' 'fore you go." The parson, thoroughly astounded [at this apparently flagrant violation of backwoods It and, in corn* mon with his colleagues of those early days, possessing littl<; wealth, and that chiefly of the spiritual kind, far removed from tbe 'loaveß and fishes" class, began in a faint and surprised tone to stammer forth his inability to pay, when he WP,S interrupted by his host, wbo seemingly determined to accept no excuse whatever. "Don't blubber over," said tbe lat ter, sternly, "wait till I read you yer bill." Thereupon an account was produced from the depths of the old gentleman's capacious pocket, in which a list of the meals the former had eaten was faithfully recorded, to gether with the number of night's lodging be had enjoyed and the amount of food his horse had eaten while put up in the host's stable. The charges were then figured up witb the greatest accuracy and neatness, tbe total amounting to something over twelve and & half dollars. The guest, as my be readily ima gined, was dumbfounded at this uu expected claim, and finally made out to say: "Well, Mr. Stokely, I am at present very poor in this world's goods, as you well know, all my earthly posses sions being contained in the saddle bags I carry with me; but if you will accept my note for tbe amount I will give you that, and redeem it just as soon as I can possibly get the mon ey." Witb this remark he turned to his horse, which was standing nearby, and was about to write tbe paper and depart, when old Ben for the third time called out to him to stop. "Yon haint heard the credit side yet, young man—wait till I read that ter you," exclaimed Stokely, who straightway began the recital of an equally accurate account, embracing the number of times tbe parsoa had asked blessing at the table, conducted family worships and delivered ser mons and disquisitions on Scripture, for each of which service a defiaite amount was credited. When the whole waß read and the two sides balanced, the astoniuhed intinerant found that bis entertainer was indebted to him just three dol lars and seventy five cents, which bam the old gentleman promptly pull ed out from his leather purse and handed to the minister, at the same time seizing him by the hand and wringing a farewell. It is needless to say that this was merely a delipate way in which the eccentric old skep tic had determined to present the par son with a parting donation.—Pitts burg Chronicle Telegraph. Insect Pests. Dr. J. A. Lintner, the well known entomologist, of New York, says there are in tbe world 320,000 spec ies of insecte; 25,000 of these beloug to the United States, and about 25, 000 prey upon tbe productions of man; 7,000 or 8,000 of these could be considered as being fruit pests On tbe apple aloue 210 Bpecies are known, and probably moro extended investigation will increase the num ber to 300. The future successful fruit grower should study entomolo gy. and be acquainted with insects I and their habits, so as to be able to tell friends from foes. Prof. Lintner recommends the study of feediug and habits as a guide to tbe use of insect icides, which should also receive not ice. What Mrs. Langtry Missed. Mrs, Langtry reached the city re cently in her special car, and knowing the deep interest felt by the citifceDs of Austin in the welfare of tbe distin guished actress and beautiful woman, the Statesman's reporter called on her immediately after her arrival He was met at the door of the car by an English-looking pair of Burn sides and a cool stare "Hand that to Lily," said the re porter, with the utmost sangfroid and a quiet, musical voice. The Burnsideß wilted, and, gasping incontinently fell over into the coal box in a profound swoon and a very stiff eollar. His face attracted attention, and the reporter, observing a lady some what in dishabille, whatever that is, comia? down the aisleof tbeluxurious ly furnished car,hastened to meet her. "Mrs. Langtry, it affords me pro found pleasure to meet you on this auspicious occasion, and in behalf of the citizens of the capital of this great State, with its matchless plains, its towering mountains, its babbling brooks and its laughing rills, its great fields of waving grain and flowering cotton; its cattle on a thousand bills, its heel flies, its Legislature,its burst ing treasury and starving school teacherß, I welcome you.

TLat beauteous form, those resplendent eyes, that pretty face, which I have rapturously gazed upon in the cigarette boxes at the tobacco stores and on the soap wrappers in the quiet of my own kitchen on wash days, has impressed you on my mind. In behalf of the citizens of Austin I repeat it. madam, I recognize you." "I'm—, I'm—" "I see you are confused, but don't mention it. If I was in dishabille I assure you I would have a much more profuse confusion. While giv ing me great pleasure to call on you I assure you my confusion will come to-morrow night, after the wife of my bosom has read that I, solitary and alone, called on you. Until the storm Mows over, madam, and she regains her wonted composure my domicile at night will be tbe hay loft, where one of my many children will surrupti tiously convey to me my frugal meals.

News gives the following story as told a reporter of tbat paper bv Judge Hammond a jus tice of a Griffin court: "I wish to call your attention to one of the most remarkable occuren ces of this country; but at the same time it was very sad. There was a poor man with a large family, con sisting of his devoted wife and many small children, mostly boys and girls, lie owned a few acres of land, a small portion of which was in rich bottom. He conceived the idea that by proper drainage and cultivation he might raise large quantities of cucumbers, and bv proper mauagement might find a remunerative market for them. So he made his arrangements according ly, and raised his cucumbers, packed them in salt and shipped them to some northern firm pickling. The first year he was very successful and sold large quantities of them for fair prices. The secoud year he felt so much encouraged that he increased his crop and confidently expected a much larger income. During the gathering time he was constantly en gaged in cutting, sorting and packing his cucumbers in barrels and ship ping them to his customers. Ic is well known that when cucum bers are first cut from the vine there is a piece which exudes or bleeds from the stem. One morning the farmer cut his baud and this juice got into the cut, and his hand commenced to infliime, and an eruption similar to erysipelas made its appearanee on his hand and extended up his arm and finally spread over his whole body. Strange to say there was no pain at tending these eruptions ot erysipelas, and he continued to gather and pick his cucumbers and prepare them for shipment. To the great surprise of the farmer these little erysipelas pim ples assumed the shape and form of small cucumbers, and continued to grow, although the farmer kept well and hearty, he was compelled to strip himself and take to his bed. Ot course the news of this strange phe nomenon spread far and wide, and the doctors and scientific men visited him from yarious sections of the coun try. One prescribed one thing aud one another. One wished to bleed him; one wished to cut the cucum bers off; another saidjuot let him have any water and they would dry up; another said stick a hole in each cu cumber and they would die and a new skiu form; another wished to wrap him up in a mammoth poultice of barnyard manure and draw them ail to one head; and said they ought to be scattered. Each bad a different remedy, but all disagreed. So there was some hope tuat the patieut would get Well. As the summer advanced the small cucumbers grew into large ones, and his whoie body was com pletely covered with them from head to foot, and they commenced ta ripen and turn yellow end hang down and the man asumed the appearance of a huge bunch of bananas. When they got ripe they began to shrivel and dry up, and so did the man. His sap was gone and he died. The doctors procured the consent of the family to permit an autopsy to be made, for the benefit of science, and they cut into him with their knives, and to their amazement found no flesh—no blood—no muscle*—no sinews—no veins—no arteries; but found only one solid mass of cucum ber seeds It was so remarkable that it would be useless to have the re mains interred and foolish to have them cremated, and she concluded that she would keep them in the house. She had the corpse hung up by hair of the head aud veiled. The next spring some of the chil dren picked up some of the seed which had dropped to the floor aud planted them. They grew rapidly and matured, and instead of being like the pareut stock of cucumbers, they were pure pickles and needed no vinegar, no pepper, no salt, nothing but packing into barrels and ship ping to market and selling. Of course uews of the discovery spread rapidly, aud myriads of applications for seed flowed in like the tide, and thus enabled the disconsolate widow and orphans to turn the cause of their bereavement into a means of maintainance and support- The wind of atllieiion was thus tempered to these shorn lambs They sold small packets of seed for big prices, and could not supply the demand. The viae grown from the new seed is a perennial evergreen, and can be prop agated from cuttings, blooms in the spring, and bears in the summer a beautiful crop of perfect pickles. The widow sells tbe seed at one dol lar a paper and hot grown plants at twenty-tiyecents each. —The Flint Glass Workers Union paid out £201),000 to its members during the strike. —A.

A traveler in Norway says that the horses in that country have a very sensible way of taking their food, which perhaps might be beneficially followed here. They have a bucket of water put down beside their allow ance of hay. It is interesting to see with what relish they take a sip of the one and a mouthful of the other alternately, sometimes only moisten ing their mouths, as a rational being would do while eating a diuuer ot such dry food. A broken winded horse is scarcely ever seen in Nor way, and the question is it the mode of feeding has not something to do with the preservation of the auiaial's respiratory organs. An improvement.
