I had been engaged to my cousin Ken neth for two years, and the course of true love had run as smoothly as pos sible. Nobody objected. Nobody prophe-! sied evil for the future. In fact, my uncle Graham, Kenneth's father, had been delighted when he dis j covered our liking for each other. 44 It was what I hoped from the first," he said. "Bessy will make a good wife, and she is the only girl I know that j I should like to have about the house. Of course, you will both live with me. j and everything I have will be Kenneth's I when I go." Was ever beginning move auspicious? When 1 left boarding-school aud came to my uncle's to live, I had never seeu j him or my cousin. I had been left an | orphan as a little child, and knew I was to keep house for my uncle Graham when I was old enough; but he had been abroad, Kenneth at school and college, and I had only been able to wonder what my unknown relatives were like. How delightful it was to find them , charming, to be made much of by them, to be petted by the servants so that my housekeeping was a mere position of dignity involving no responsibilities, and finally, to know that in Kenneth I had met my fate. I had nothiug to lose, as those have who leave a happy home for an unknown future, but everything to gain. Life had just begun for mc. For six months no cloud arose upon my horizon. How could I fancy that a storm was brooding? It came in a most uuromantic shape. That important period in a young man's history, the election day ou which he casts his first vote, had arrived for Kenneth, aud he voted for the wrong man. I still think it was for the wrong man, for it is not in a woman's nature to set politics before love. Kenneth voted for the man of whom j his father disproved. It was a terrible surprise to my uncle, a great shock, an unendurable offense. lie believed that Kenneth respected his opinions, would be guided by them in ull things. He reproached him bitterly at first, and placed the matter in such a light that my sympathies were his, and I re proached him also, though rather by tears than in words. Of the question itself I knew nothing, but my uncle was a large man with a 1 loud voice, and a confidence in himself seldom equaled. Besides, he had been in office, and it appeared to me that he must know I which was the right man in the right place. Kenneth talked a great deal about his ! principles and how a man could not! change them to please anybody. The I house rung with reproaches, arguments, and finally with abuse. Kenneth uttered words he never should have spoken to his father, and my uncle ' was horribly offensive. One day they were at it hammer and tongs, and in order to escape the noise I went out for n walk. On ray return I found niy uncle, white as a sheet, pacing the library floor. He paused on seeing me, and lifting his hand toward heaven, cried out: t 44 Stand where you arc, Bessy, and I listen to inc. From this time forth Ken neth is nothing to me, nothing to you. To both of us lie is dead." 44 I nolo 1" I gasped. 44 Not a word, said ho—"not a word. 1 I have turned him out of ray house. I had reason. I aui justified. To-morrow I shall alter my will. Kenneth shall never have one penny of mine. I ll make j you my heiress—you—you 1 Do \ou' hear me? You stin kby me. You are ! all I 1 avc now 1" And my uncle flung himself upon a sofa and buried his face in the pillows. In vain 1 pleaded, in vain I wept. Nothing touched him. I hoped time would change his resolu tion, but he never faltered. What had become of Kenneth I did not know. He never wrote, to me. lie never sent any message. lie had been vexed with me during the last few days. And as time wont on I made up my mind that he no longer loved me. lie could easily have communicated with mutual friends had he de.-ired to do so. I had loved him dearly. This sudden separation made me very miserable. I was vexed with tny uncle, but I could not leave him. lie" had been a bale, hearty, middle aged man when the quar re I took place. From that time he broke down rapidly, changing before my eyes to an old man. His spirits left him. His temper grew outrageous. lie refused to see "his friends, and at last he took to his bed. 1 nursed him tenderly. One day, as I sat beside him, he said, more gently than usual: "Bessy, you will be a rich woman very soon. All I have is left to you. I have heard of my sou. The unfilial and un natural boy ha 3 not prospered. He is.in j need, I believe. lam sorry." I sunk on my knees and implored him to send for Kenneth, to forgive him, t< embrace him once more. 4, Hc is your natural heir," I said. 44 1 hope you may live many years. But pray alter your will. Give him your blessing, and forgiveness, and his portion. \ou will be glad when you have done it glad whether you live or dio." lie shook his head. "Neither will I give him," he said. "And I have made my last testament so I carefully that you cannot help him, as no doubt you would. Anything you at- . tempt to bestow on him you will only lose j-ourself. He shall live to regret his disobedience and ingratitude to a good j father." j Then he fell into a rage that was, I believe, his death warrant, for he died that night. I was alone with him. I had scut for the doctor, but he had not come. When all was over I kissed him, and said aloud: " Jf your spirit is aware of what I do, it will thank mc for it. I cannot take my cousin Kenneth's fortune." Then I opened the desk where private papers were kept, found the will, glanced over it and saw that it indeed gave everything to me, with the proviso | that I should, under no circumstances, | I aid my cousin, aud folding it again ; I thrust it deej) into the heart of the grate- j fire, aud watched the flames consume i it. 44 You will be glad, dear unde," I said, "when soul has triumphed over the j body, and you know how anger warped your mind." At that instant feet flew up the stairs, and the doctor, followed by the servant I had scut for him, entered the room. After the funeral I packed my small belongings, put into my purse the money which my uncle's generosity and my natural economy had made my own, and left the house. I had seen my cousin in the great drawing-rooin in which we assembled, lie was thin and wan, aud did not look toward me. In common with everybody j else, lie still believed himself disiuher ited, and I resolved that he should al- i ways believe that his father had icleuted j and destroyed the will. I had made all my plans for leaving j the town, and soon found a situation as teacher of u country school many miles away. Through a friend I heard that Kenneth had come into the property, and that everyone felt that my uncle had done well in forgiviug his son, and the popular j opinion was that he would have left me something had not death come to him so suddenly. | I was not happy in my new position. I did not fill the place well. I had no proclivity for teaching, and I had been too long used to being netted and cared for to take kindly to tne hard life of a country school-teacher, but never once j did 1 regret what I had done. Shame would have been mine if I had i taken Kenneth's fortune—grief if he had ! been in need, and I unable to help him; for though he had forgotten me so easily I still loved him fondly, and always should, I knew. Even though I should one day hear that he had chosen another for his wife, I could still give him a i sister's tenderness while life lasted. The winter passed, spring came. The I grass that grew about the rustic seliool liousc was decked with golden daude ( lions, when one day, just as my last i scholar passed out at the door, a shadow fell across the floor, and looking up I I saw my cousin Kenneth. 44 Cousin Bessy," lie said, advancing and holding out his hand, 44 1 have had i a long search for you. Why did you | hide yourself away? I am sure my j father did not mean to forget you. I know he would be anxious to sec that' you had a share of what he left. You j were a daughter to him. I have come to talk to you of that," he said politely, but coldly; no trace of the lover re , niained in his manner. ; The man I had promised to marry, whose betrothal ring I yet wore, spoke to me of money and money only in this our first hour of meeting. My pride arose, I drew myself to my full height—not a great one to he sure. 44 Cousin Kenneth," I said, 44 thank you j very much. I know my uncle intended to remember me, but since fate inter fered, the matter is settled." 44 It is my duty to protest," lie said. 44 1 am merely acting as my father's sub stitute. Buying his debts, remember, not mine, and his fortune was very large." His manner was as cold as ice as he : stood there measuring his words, and j looking away from the woman who ' loved him so, who longed to cast herself j into his arras and cry: 44 Oh, thank Heaven, we meet once \ more!" My heart ached, my brain throbbed. ! 44 1 will not accept charity," I cfied in i my grief and wratli, 44 1 will accept it from no one, least of all from you. I can earn my bread." And I rejoiced that, though he did not dream it and never shall, he owed all that ,4 large fortune" of which lie spoke to me. Now suddenly his face changed. 44 Bessy," he said, 44 how strange that I once thought you had a tender heart! I was disabused of that when you sent me back ray letters and told me through the pen of another that you despised me too much to wish to hear from me again." I stared at him astonished. 44 1 never received a letter 1" I cried. 44 1 wondered that you did not care to write, but " 1 paused; on the same instant we both understood that in some wny my uncle had intercepted the messenger who brought my letter and had written one which furthered bis own plans and made Kenneth believe me false to him. "Don't speak 1" 1 cried. "Don't ask me anything. Don't tell me anything. Only believe inc. 1 never had a word from you. though I longed for one. Be . lieve me by our old friendship." 4, Ar.d I thought you false and cruel all this while," he sighed. lie held out his arms and I crept into them, ami as wo kissed each other we j forgave the wrathful old man for all the | sorrow be had given us—forgave him ; utterly and forever.

John Heffner's Big Family. The death near Allentown, Pcnn., i few days ago of Reuben llcffner recalled the fact that he was one of forty-om children. His father, John Heffner, wa accidentally killed by the cars six yean ago at the age of sixty-nine years. At that time he was still in the vigor o: health. He was a dwarfed hunchback He was born in Berlin in 1810, and cami to this country in 1848, settling in tin | city of Heading. Until his death hi 1 made a living by collecting and selling rags and paper. His family history ii part of the records of the Berks Counti | courts, it having beeu told by him i short time before his death while he wai a witness in a lawsuit. He was married first in 1840. In cigh years his wife bore him seventeen chil dren. The first and second years of theii marriage she gave birth to twins. Fo: four successive years afterward she gave birth to triplets. Iu the seventh yeai she gave birth to one child and died soon afterward. Heffner engaged < young woman to look after his largt brood of babies, and three months latei she became the secoud Mrs. Heffner. She presented her husband with two children in the first two years of her wed ded life. Five years later she had added teu more to the family, having twins five times. Then for three years sh< added but oue a year. At the time of the death of the second wife twelve of the thirty-two children had died. The twenty that were left did not appear to be any obstacle to o young widow with ouo child consenting to become tho third wife of the jolly little man, for he was known as one of the happiest and most geniul men ic Heading, although it kept him toiling like a slave to keep a score of mouths in bread. The third Mrs. Hellner, became the mother of nine children in ten years, and the contentment and happiness of the couple were proverbial. One day in ! the Fall of 1885 the father of the forty ; one children was crossing a railroad j track and was run down by a locomotive I and install.ly killed. His widow and I twenty-four of the forty-one children are still living, most of them in Reading. They arc thrifty and respectable people. —J .New York Times. Some Modern Names. The following are derivations and ! meanings of names of some prominent I men of the present day as given by j ! Notes and Queries: j Pattison—This is an Irish name and ; means the son of Patrick. The name Patterson is the same. Patrick is de rived from the Latin Patricius, meaning | noble, a senator. The name was be stowed upon the eldest sons of the Roman j senators. Delnmatcr —This is a French name | from Le Maitre, meaning the preceptor, a master, or landlord. Cameron is Gaelic, from Cam, crook : ed, and sron, nose, hence crooked nose. ! Blaine—This name is from the town jof Blain, in France. It also has a claim I to Welsh origin, and in that case it sig nifies the summit or top. Tilman —The farmer or alliance gov crnor of South Carolina, is well named, I as his name means tiller of the soil, j Parnell—The Irish leader has not an Irish name. It comes from Italy and is j derived from Petronilla, a pretty stone, i and also an immodest girl. McCarthy—This name is pure Irish and means the son of Canthack, who was ! an Irish chieftain of the eleventh cen tury. Dillon is Welsh, from Dillyn, meaning handsome, brave. Vanderbilt is Dutch, from Byl, a hatchet or bill. The ship carpenters in Amsterdam were nicknamed Die Byltyc, the hatchet or bill men. Van, the Dutch for the word of. Hence Van die hilt, or of the bill men. Astor is Scandinavian, from the town of Oster, in Jutland, meaning star. Intelligent Leaf cutting Ants. The leaf cutting ants of Texas and further South are great pests, usually destroying the most valuable trees. We have received many complaints and speci mens of these ants from Texas in years past, but what seems most strange is that those who have the opportunity of ex perimenting and discovering means for destroying them rarely cr ever attempt it. These ants arc certainly very intelli gent, and when about attacking a tree they divide their forces, one division of workers ascending the tree and cutting away the leaves, while another division of their forces remain on the ground and gather up the leaves as they fall, drag ging them away to their nests. To drive them away try dusting the foliage of the trees with air-slacked lime, with London purple, Paris green, or some other kind of poison. Look for their nests, and when found pour hot salt brine into them, or kerosene emulsion, creosote and water, or common tar water, for al most any offensive or poisonous liquid would either disperse or kill these pests. It is also quite probable that a piece of cloth wrapped about the stem of the tree and kept constantly smeared with soft tar or wax would prevent the ants from getting at the leaves.—[New Y'ork Sun.

AMONG THE BOERS. STRANGE SCENES WITNESSED IN SOUTH AFRICA. People Who Seldom Wash, and Who Look Upon People That Do as Being Filthy—Their Houses and Customs. Vasca da Gama,thc Portuguese mariner, might be said to have discovered South Africa as much as Columbus discovered America, writes a correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution from South Africa. No landing was made and no colony es tablished by the Portuguese in that place, but the Dutch, who were at that time the foremost navigators and colo nizers of the world, soon established a settlement here. The first ship which sailed for that purpose was wrecked, and only one or two persons escaped the vengeance of the sea. After great hardships and suf fering they landed and called the place "Good Hope." Others followed from the old country, and the Dutch East India Company established a trading station. The Boers (farmers) finding the coun try rich and the soil productive, emigrat ed from Holland in large numbers aud founded a colouy under the home gov ernment. This colony was soon augmented by numbers of the Ilugcnots, who assimil ated with the Boers. The latter ruled with a rod of iron, and the former found 1 it all the easier to submit to the inevit able, and a few settlers from other nations I had also to bend their necks to the yoke. Hence the power to rule supreme remained with the Boers until the Eng lish conquered and drove them from Cape Colony to Natal and Orange Free State, a country at that time the nomcof lions, tigers, (leopards are called tigers in south Africa,) buffaloes, and all kinds of wild game. These, however, soon disappeared before the vortrekkers' (first settlers) rifles, or escaped into the in terior. This brings us down to about 1830, when the Boers got embroiled with the Kaffirs, especially the Zulus, the most powerful and warlike tribe in south Africa. Their efforts to subdue the Zulus were baffled, and the English profiting by their helplessness, seized what is now Natal colony, and again drove the Boers back, this time across the Vaal river, where they formed the now famous south Africa republic, with I'retorius as president, naming the coun try, Transvaal. The Boers were most inhuman in their treatment of the Kaffirs. As a rule the Boers are a lazy, idle, drunken set. They do not work except oversee the Kaffirs, count their cattle once a day, go hunting and kcur (visiting) with their pipes as constant companions, and the C'ape smoke (whiskey) bottle always at hand. They generally hire the Kaffirs by the half year, the copper-colored servant's pay being a heifer or two sheep for six months' service. In two cases out of three the Kaffir thus working was made to have a wholesome fear of his master by being every now and then tied to a wagon wheel or a tree and flogged un mercifully, and it was not an uncommon occurrence for these poor victims to die under the chastisement. As late as 1880, since the letrocession by the English of the Transvaal to the Boers, a certain half breed Erasmus, an influential Boer, fastened a poor Hottentot to a wagon wheel, brutally Hogged him, then de liberately shot him. No punishment fol lowed th's outrage, although it hap pened within six miles of Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal. Conduct of this kind, together with appropriating lands belonging to the natives, brought them into collision with the Kaffir tribes, the Zulus 011 one side and tlic Sicoocoonis on the other. Pretorius, being an igno rant man, was altogether incompetent to carry them successfully through these difficulties. He was soon deposed, and Burghers, a well educated and enlight ened man, chosen in his place. In thought and action this mau was about a quarter of u century ahead of the times, aud worked hard to oivilizc the Boers, who had by this time sunk almost to the level of the natives themselves, but was unsuccessful, as he was not supported in the least by the Boers, although tlicv promised anything asked for. The British government then stepped in and took charge of the country, restoring peace after a terrible war with the Zulus and Sicoocoonis. The Boers finding everything nicely settled for them, re belled against the English rule and then followed the Boer war in which the English were defeated. Boer etiquette demands that when a stranger arrives at a house lie must shake hands with the inmates all around with out speaking, beginning with the eldest down to the youngest. This is found not to be a very pleasant task, as the hands to be shaken are never very clean. One of the favorite bonmots of the Boers is that the English (meaning all foreigners) must be a very dirty people as they find it necessary to wash so fie ouently, when they (the Boers) do not do so oftcner than a week at most. They generally seize the opportunity of the presence of n stranger, who is a guest, to indulge in a slight ablution, which is done as follows: Before dinner the household assemble and scat themselves iu a semi-circle form. One of tlic girls brings a basin of water and a towel, (soap is an unheard of article) which she presents to the head of the family first, lie performs his ablution on hands and face, the basin is then passed to the next, and so on around a circle, containing, perhaps, a dozen, without changing wa ter or towel, the stranger's turn coining last. Hcfusnl on his part to paiticipate would be considered a great insult to his hottest. The Boci houses are built of either stone or mud. The rooms, as A rule, are large aud airy. In many eases the Boers sleep on the mattings spread on the floor, only the fathers and mothers having the luxury of a bed. In cases where beds are used, they are on the Brigham Young plan—large—and five or six peo ple sleep in one of thorn. The sleeping places arc none too clean, and have more than a suspicion of disagreeable insects. There are no schools amongst the Boers. A wealthy man with a family often per manently engages a schoolmaster or tutor, who lives as one of the family and is but barely paid for his services, re ceiving little more than board and lodg i ing. In the poorer families the children are taught what they do know by their i parents. The sum of this teaching amounts to little more than being able i to read'the Bible, a book found in every Boer house. The Boers are very devout; attend well to their religious duties and never omit to say grace before and after each meal, and copiously interlard their conversation with pious ejaculations. As a rule they arc very hospitable to strangers, providing they are not Eng lish, for whom tlu v have a great nnti , pathy. They will often turn a sick and hungry traveler empty from their door if they know him to be of that nationality. CITIZENS' BANK OF FREELAND. 15 FRONT STREET, Capital, - - $50,000. OFFICERS.
