Nr.w Casri.t-:, Pa. LOVE IN THE MOUNTAINS. in M <it!Al). The next day after the affair at Burton's in Tennessee I went over to Andrew's Folk, seven or eight nnlc3 away, and was made heartily wel come at ihe hirgest ol the three cabins. Andrews had a daughter about -ti years old, and 1 soon under stood that she was to be married next day. Indeed, the lucky young man was on the ground and waiting, lie was a six footer slim us a toothpick, awkward as a trail", and dead in love. The gir! was more shy, but not to be bluffed by my presence. When I en tered the front door, the young man, who answered to the name of Davy, ran out of the back He felt, confus ed ami embarrassed, and, taking his ci:at on a log about thirty feet l v om the house, he hid his face as much as possible behind a sapling. Andrews called to him, then Mrs. Andrews called, but h> put his linger in his mouth anil would not come, Then his SuMtn went out and said: '•Now, Davy, what's the scrim mage 11-j'nn huaii t Come )eie to hurt we'uns " •'1 ain't scart " "Then come along in. All of us will be ashamed of ye." "(Jut a headache," said Davy, as he hung back. "Honest t" "Yes, orful honest. Feels like it 'ud split." "Shacks! \ oil's bashful! Youis ahaid he'll poke lun at we'uns ! l>ut he won't, Davy. Pop's dun tula hint we're to jiue, and ho says it'sj right, ile'uu w6u t htff, Davy." "Fur shore?" "Fur snake shore. Come in, Davy." She came leading him by the hand, and I did my best to, put him at his ease." In this 1 succeeded so well that after dinner he took me into his confidence. We were lying under a tree, and 1 bad given him the lirst cigar he ever saw, when he suddenly said: "VV.'tild you—you —run away ?" "What! From getting married!"' "Yea." "No, i-ir i. e ! You are a lucky man to get stub a i»irl as Sue." "Hut folks'l laff " "Let 'ent laugh." "And wink and titter and make fun." "Pooh ! What ot it V "It'sjist orful, but mebbe J kin do it. Fve killed b'ars and rattlers and wildcats, and I've had lights and rows, but tbis skters me." 1 got him braced up alter an h tar's talk, and lh< n we took a cut. through the woods to -ee the new cabin which had becu erected for the bridal couple. It was an humble strncture made of poles, with no door to the doorway and no sash iti the window. The ground was beaten down hard for a floor,.there was 't rude iirepiace at one end, and a bedstead bad been made of poles laid iu crutches. Davy's mother had given hint a bear .skin, a kettle, a f-killet and a jug, and there were j.'a-ed in a coi tier. Susau's parents h.'id given her a pan, a kettle, throe tin plates, two epooiu-.two knives and forks and a bottle of vinegar, and tbe.-,e were placed in another corner. That was the whole outfit. Tbe mountaineers were my friends. They had gone to i very trouble to oblige me.and h. Ie v\ J.H an upporttiuiiy torequite their kiudness. There was a genuine country store about a mile away.and I get, rid of Davy and went down there. 1 had a little talk with the store-keeper, and wrote o* a list of things and tendered the pay, and his voice aetu 11 y tr; ntbled a.- he i-aidr "Twelve hull dollars! Stranger, ye eatrt mean it !" "Uh, but I do." . "And all a free gill to Dave and Sue ?" " Ves ' "Wail, tt beats sarpints ! 'Deed,it beats b'ais and wildcats! Put it that', stranger!

I went oil to bed and left them there, and I shouldn't wonder if they put in most of the night at it. At about tea o'clock next morning the people began to drop in,aad at eleven the marriage took place. The groom had a weak spell, but I uraced him up, and when the fatal nooae was ad justed and the trap sprung his duct was fair to medium. After din ner we formed in procession aud es corted them to their new home. Al most everybody had come laden with a present oi some sort Iu the center of the cabin was my surprise, and no crowd of people were ever so dumb founded. Alts. Andrews drew the articles out aud it took eyery one's breath away as she shouted: ' Ileal tea and coffee and salarutus! A ud here's cotton cloth aud pins and thread! And here's sugar and mo lasses and soap ! Aud here's eruu:k ery—real crockery—and knives and forks and spoons and " But all the ivomen were crying by that time, and all the men were trem bling with excitement. They laid it onto me, and 1 had to own up, aud then Andrews called out: " \ ere—Have, Sue —git right down yere on yer knees and sw ar to the suanger tiiat you'li pot-luck with him au' his'u as long as grass grows aad water runs, and may the Lord never desert him!" And who could ask for a greater reward '■ Stie'ii All Right. The farmer who liiis Pennsylvania soil can tit least console himself with the fact that ho is digging the best dirt of the country. Of nineteen counties in the i nked States whose I arm values exceed tweutv-eight mil lion doliars each, this State has nine, while the first three on the list, also the fifth, sixth and seventh are in the Keystone State.

A case that has bullFd the skill of the best physicians in Western New York for the past three years ha 3 just reached its elimtir and is a large si/.-'d surpri.-e party to the physicians. Four years ago this stiminer, Nina, the two years old daughter of Dr. S. G. Lewis, of Olean. while playing with other children swallowed a piece of dirt. The other children thought it contained a small angle-worm, but the child's parents thought not, aud paid no attention to the matter and soon forgot ii. Nearly a year later the chil l began ♦ : complain of its stomach feelingly badly, and said that something was alive aad wiggling about therein She grew worse and became so nervous that it was impossible for her to keep quiet more than a moment at a time. The little girl, now six years of age was taken with a violent fit of vomit ing Wednesday, and in her struggles threw forth the little angle worm which bad r. p si.d in her stomach f-.r fc.ur yours. The worm Lad gr.-wn to ait eaorn: ms h/.-?, it measuring nearly tin inches long and being as iarge a round as one's finger. The child is rapidly recovering. Killed by a Rattlesnake. W nil.; tv'/o buys, Jackson Moore and i .hti Harvey, aged about seventeen year.- were hunting Fqirula across the river from Memphis, Tennessee, they discovered a large rattlesnake exiled upon a rock app.uoutly asleep, Moore said he would capture the snake alive, lie crept up to ihe dead ly rattler and, by a ipiict movement, caught it firmly behind the head and held it at arms length in triumph. Suddenly the snak.s toiled itself nrotitnl the boy s arm. He became fright coed and attempted to throw it oil, when the reptile struck him ou the neck. Its tangs became fastened in the llesb. The unfortunate victim screamed with horror and, grasping the .-nuke with both hands, tore it loose ami Hung it to the ground. He fi I! to tin! earth in a swoon, while his terrified friend lied for asaistaute. The nearest house was two miles distant, and when help arrived the poor luil was past help and died iu agonv. The snake was found coiled close by. aud when killed iuea.-un d four leet nine inches, aud had eigh teen rattles. Dyspepsia and indigestion are speedily cured by Hood's Sarsapa iilia.

It is not necessur} 7 to inquire into motives: the facts are all that practical men will care to know. Sophistry will be tried on the workingmao. Abie pens that cau "make the worst appear the better reason" will be enlisted oc the ad verse eide A hundred and odd years ago, when Washington and his compatriots were fighting for in dependence, England's pamphleteers endeavored to persuade the American people that they would eujoy greater freedom under her government thau they would under their own: Arneri cans are now informed that they would ho better off under the IJritish policy of Free Trade than they now arc under the operations of the Amer ican system, it is the old impudent lie under a new form. One of the false notions they have given currency to is this: If on the adoption of Free Trade wages fall what matter if things are cheap? Hut the cost of living does not go down with wages. Thirty years ago wages fell, but Hour ran np from §5 per barrel to sls per barrel At that time calico was soiling at li cents a yard—imported from England; to-day when the workingman is iu position to pay a better price, he gets his cali co for T cents a yard—American man ufacture. The times referred to were tho times of Free Trade and low wages Today in lands where labor is paid 20 cents to 10 cents, the cost of living, on the American stand ard, is fully as high as it is in this country. Iu uo country can the people be well-to-do where the accepted econom ic policy is to reduce wages to the minimum. And wages in every country must inevitably be brought down to the* lowest w hen the labor of that country is forced to compete with the illpaiu wages of other iands. Now. the maxim of the Free Traders is, "buy in the cheapest market." The result, of course, is obvious. When labor is diversified and homo industries are protected work is plen tiful and workers are well paid. Then fwo j ibs rtiu after one work man. But if foregeiuers in foreign lands are given to do our work, be cause they offer to do it cheaper, to that extent workmen in our own land are reduced to enforced idleness. Then the spectacle is presented of two men running after one job, at lower wages than before. Th s tivo workmen now compete not only with each other but with the foreigner over the sea also, whose miserable wuges under Free Trade must regu late theirs; an 1 the workman who gcki the job at th' 3 cut-throat price must not only support himself and his family ou that wage but (since labor pays all expenses) he must like wise sustain the enforced idler—iu the poorhouse or somewhere eise. Now, a situation of affairs is brought about when every American citizen must be practical on the ipies tioii raised. The man who believes in Protection to American labor cannot consistently vote for Cleveland and Thurman, and the man who fav ors Free Trade cannot logically sup port the platform on which Harrison and Morton stand. There are sur prisingly foolish things at times done in this world; but to me it does seem impossible for the American people, on an issue so sharply defined us this Tariff question is, to d.-libsrately vote for their own ruin. "Were it possi ble," writes Mr. James O. Blaine from abroad, "for every voter of the lie public to see for himself the condition and recompense of labor in Europe the parry of Free Trade in the* Unit ed States would not receive the sup port of one wage-worker between the Uo oceans, It may not be directly in oar power to elevate the European laborer, but it will be a lasting stigma upon our statesmanship if we permit the American laborer to be forced down to the European level." Jnciiool Children's Food. A teacher in one of our uptown .schools advised her pupils., the other morning, not to hurry over their breaktast because, said she, "a good nourishing breaktast, eaten cheerful ly, and noi to fast, is the best prepar ation ii student can Lave for a sue eesaful morning s work in school She said, also, that when one of her good scholars made a bad failure iu her lessons, she always fell inclined to ask: "What did you have for breakfast, my dear, and how was your appetite?'' There is no doubt much trniii in this lady's remark. It. was discovered years ago that poor children in the ragged schools got no mental benefit from the instruction given them unless they were first fed with something substantial. fu many homes both in city and country, there is apt to be a wild hur ry-, knrry to "get the children off to school," in-the course ol which the breakfast receives but slight and hasty attention. Then, about i 1 o'clock, when a recess is given, the young scholars, faint from hunger and ex haustion, are ready to devour any in digestible thing which they can find. Parents who wish their children to do well at school should efforts of teachers by seeing that their children have proper food. The best instruction in the world may be neutralized by innutritions and hur ried meals.—.V I. /. l/i:r I LILLS&TTLL L.UWT 11 V ULLI|>UI es the hum ot London to the noise ol the loom of Time, l.owell always was celebrated for its looms and spindles.

Another Version. The New Castle correspondent of the Pittsburg J'ixpalt h, sent the fol lowing version of the Ceutrcville aliaij.* to that paper: A young drug gist named Marion Hay,of Princeton this count)', was arrested by a newly appointed constublo, Abe Secbier, up on the charge of selling whisky with out license. While dining at Cenlre vilie, cn their way to jail, Hay has tily seized a horse standing at the door of the hotel aud made a dash for liberty. The horse had just suffi cient "git" in him to make the race between the fugitive anil the consta ble exciting. It was nip and tack until Hays turned suddenly aad threw his hnr.se The constable immediate ly took advantage of this aud drew his revolver, ami demanded his pri-j --oner to halt, which be was about to do when a Ceutrcville constable saw the iieeiag man and his puratier with a drawn weapon. He immediately grabbed Constable Sechier, and both officers fought to establish their au thority. Tho Ceutreville protector refused to iisten to anything, ami compelled Seehler to go with him to the magistrate's office, and. as a con sequence, Hays is al liberty, and the Centreviile official is bound over to answer in court the charge of inter fering with an ollicer. I3ee Sting Extraordinary. Mr. George Carson, or Hi I more, while pumping the wells ou his in the Foster brook district, last Sun day week, was stung by a bee just below his right eye. Shortly after wards a sensation of falntness and di/'/iiness came over i.iin, and beliey iug he was about to be sick, he hast ened to shut down his "welli. In a few moments he lost all conaiiotis ness, and two hours !ater, when he again regained his senses, he found himself bruised ant! bleeding crawl ing around his boiler house on al! tours. His clothes were torn to tat ters, and everything about the boiler bouse wss in a state of confusion He has a., knowledge of w hat had occur red during the inter-val. but the indi cations showed that the sting had produced a kind of frenzy in him that rendered him temporarily out of his bead. No owelling resulted from the sting until Monday morning, when his face began to puff out and his lips rapidly increased iu size.

Ilarrijburg Telegraph.] I was reading the other e?eaiug the very seductive circular of a livery linn in Niagara Falls, which sought tu impress on the public the idea tnat teams cau be secured ut that extor tionate place at reasonable rates. Do not be deceived, oh. guileless man. Vou can't strike a cab at Niagara without being overcharged. It's a wav they have. They swindle the face oil you, aud laugh at you when you kick. You either have to pay their extortionate charges or get into trouble. No feiiow wants to get into trouble in a strange town, and a gentleman will hesitate a long wiiilo before ho will dispute a bill, but I don't blame a niau for kicking at the av\ful charges of the Niagara hack man. My experience has been that it is better to put the bargain in black aud white thaa pay $lO iu hard American coin to a rapacious hack man for a two hours ride, with side trimmings of pirates who want litiy cents mi every turn and corner, and make it unpleasant lor you if you don t shell out. Iho only people I ever knew who got away with a Ni agara hackman Were a party ol Penn sylvania editors who held the hack man tlo\\*ii to a contract iu white and black, and they worked him for all he was worth. Whou they lelt him he wearily wanted to know "Where them d d pirates came from. That reminds me of a funny thing that happened at Niagara during the last Pennsylvania Ht tte editorial ex cursion. Among the party was a dry wit who asked the awfulest ques tions without ehaiuging countenance. The guide ranged him in front of the grandest view of the falls and point ed to it proudly. The man of wit gazed with curiosity on the scene, and then drawled out iu a rasping voice: "Say, yon, does this dam get much higher v. heu it raius?"

Last night be addressed a large public meeting of Keiiublicau clubs which was attended l»y many interested Democrats. Mr. .VlcCalmont said: ' i commenced to hedge away back on the day that Cleveland signed his lirot pension veto message. I thought tLat when a worthy widow of 8 wor* lhy soldier by special act was grant ed a pension, and when the Chief Magistrate of this great Nation stoop ed to veto that bill, becauso under the old rules of the Pension Department she was not entitled to a pension, it was time for me to hedge. When Cleveland wrote that school boy es say on wool and sent it to Congress, 1 made a break for the fence. I straddled the fence and looked to the St. Louis convention to rescue the party, but it came not to the rescue, and when tbe party in convention swallowed free trade, and Cleveland swailowed the party, and it became a Cleveland party instead of a Demo cratic party, I got down off the .'ence, and found myself standing where I stand now, and where I never stood before —on a Republican platform. "The Democratic party asks me to yotc for free wool, and paralyze tbe wool growing industry of this coun try. I won't do it, and that ia the reason I am not a Democrat. 1 am asked as a Democrat Democrat to vote for a reduction of 27 per ceut, on woolen goods and des troy the woolen manufactories of this country. I won't do it; and that is the reason I am not a Democrat. "I am asked, as a Democrat to yote for free lumber, and not only that, but for free wooden manufactures, such us sash, windows, doors, cars, carriages, boats. &c, and send the lumbermen now working aronnd through our hills and yallejs and in our saw mills to Canada to hunt work anu destroy the wooden manu factories of the country. I won't do it; and that is tbe rerson I am not a Democrat. "I am asked, as a Democrat, to vote for free salt and destroy tbe salt industry of the country. I won't do it) and that is the reason I am not a Democrat. "1 am asked, as a Democrat, to vote for a!t pe* cent, reduction on iron and cripple tbe iron industry of the country.
