to an article which will, wherever need, remove the
cause of such accidents. We allude to

as an oil that is safe, brilliant, and entirely reliable.
After a long series of laborious and costly experi

"CARSON'S STELLAR 0.11,:'
It should be used by every family because it is safe
beyond a question. The primary purpose in the
preparation of STELLAR OIL has been to make
it Perfectly Safe, thus insuring the lives and prop

five-gallon cans, each can being sealed and stamped
with the trade-mark of the proprietor • it cannot ,
therefore, be tampered with between the manutac

trade-mark.
It is the duty and interest of all dealers end con
minters of illuminating oil to use the STELLAR

is the town of P , a pretty village ;
distant then, some fire-and-twenty miles from
the 'market-town,' a peesliary wisely and
graceful maiden, who had a peculiarly ugly
tad cross grained-father.
Minnie, was Danforth's oily child; and re
volts said truly she would be sole legatee.
The old man was a sturdy farmer, and.was
estimated to be worth full ten thousand dol
lars., at that peried—a very handsome lettuce

The eparklieg eyes and winning manners,
of Minnie Danforth had stirred the fitter feel

and her maims were numerous; but her fa
thee was -particular, and none succeeded in
making headway with her or him.
In the meantime Minnie bad a true and
loyal lover in secret, who do one would have
supposed for a moment that such a fellow
would dare to look upon beauty and compile=
ative refinement. His name was Walker, or,
as he waOgeneraliy called, ' Joe'—Joe ikal•
ke and he was simply a farmer employed
b Danforth who had entrusted Joe to
his se for two or three years.
Bat a very excellent farmer, and a right
good manager was this plain, unassuming,

ly, truly, and frankly; and promised to wed

Things went on merrily fur a time, but
old Danforth discovered certain gleams and
attentions between them which waited his

Joe learned the old man's mind indireotly
is regard to his fixture disposal of Minnie's
hand, and he quickly saw his case was a hope.
less one, unless he resorted to stratagem;
and so be set his wits at work.
By agreement, an apparently settled cold
ness and distance was observed by the lovers
towards each ether for five or six months,
and the father saw—as he believed—with
satisfaction, that his previous suspicions and
fears bad all been premature.
Then by agreeMent also between them, Joe
absented himself from the house at evening;
and, night after eight for fell three mouths
longer, did Joe disappear as soon as his work
was finished to rears only at late bed time.
This was unusual, and old -Danforth deter-
mined to know the cause of it.
Joe frankly confessed that be was in love
With a Alan's daughter,' who resided less
than three miles distant, but after a luithtul
attachment between them tor several months,
the old maa had utterly refused to entertain
hie applioation for the young girl's hand.
