Courting Under Difficulties.
JT1WAS a beautiful day In July. The
JL golden sun was shining brightly,
and the little English sparrows hopped
merrily from limb to limb, and tried
their very best to tell the pedestrians
how happy they were.
Among the many handsome ladles
and gentlemen who were promenading
one of Brooklyn's most fashlduable
streets on this fine summer day, was one
gentleman who immediately attracted
attention, lie was a tall, handsome
young man, attired In accordance with
fashion's strict and capricious demand.
This gentleman was Mr. George Sin
clair, cashier of the bank.
He stopped, finally, before a large,
handsome mansion on C street,
and rapidly ascending the marble steps.
Ills summons was immediately answer
ed by a gayly dressed colored -servant,
who conducted him to the parlor, and
announced to the beautiful young ludy
sitting at the open window that Mr Sin
clair had arrived.
Let us digress a moment, and describe
the fresh and glowing beauty of Allue
Bommerville, the only child of the rich
banker, Ezra Bommerville. She was
about twenty years of age, and possess
ed a superb figure. Her blooming fnce
glowed with animation and health, aud
the blushing roses of her cheek formed
a pleasing contrast to the lily whiteness
of her neck and brow. Her great blue
eyes shone with far more brightness
than stars ; her long, waving hair rip
pled far below the shapely waist, and
shone like threads of purest gold; her
white, even teeth and delicately chiseled
lips outvied pearls and rubies. Fairer
than the fairest her beautiful face out
rivalled the hour! of the poet's dream.
George had been waiting on Alice for
a long time, and rumor hinted that they
were engaged ; but, as usual, rumor was
mistaken.
George loved Miss Bommerville with
his whole heart, but, like many others,
he found difficulty in saying so. On
this beautiful summer afternoon he re
solved to declare his love and know his
fate. So, after a few common-place re
marks, he took the lady's little hand in
his own, and said,
" Miss Bommerville Alice I love
you I I have loved you Bince I first be
held your face. I have often desired to
tell you so, but have been too diffident.
Now hear my vow ; I swear that I love
you better than"
" Oysters I oysters I" shouted a fish
peddler, as he rattled by in his rickety
vehicle.
. George was very much put out by his
sudden interruption, and Alice dropped
her head upon his shoulder to conceal
the smiles which rippled o'er her face
and beamed from her laughing eyes.
But our hero was determined, and con
tinued, " I love you better than my very ex
istence 1 You are the idol of my soul I
When I look upon your pearly cheek I
think of"
" Soap fat 1 Soap fat I" roared a stout
Irishman with an immense kettle on
his head, as he ambled past the house.
George bit his Up, but bravely con
tinued, "I think of the pure and glistening
snow. Your dear voice never fails to
touch a responsive chord in my heart,
and when you are singing that beautiful
balled, commencing"
" Umbrellas to mend V Wash tubs to
to mend V" inquired a lame man as he
gazed up at the open window.
George ground his teeth together and
resumed :
"When you are singing 'Ever of
thee I'm fondly dreaming,' it seems as
if an angel voice was whispering love
into my soul. Oh, darling, say that my
love is reciprocated I Your slightest
wish shall be my law. I will dress you
In "
"Rags! rags!" Insinuated a red-headed
boy, as he pushed his wagon by the
house.
This last interruption was too much
for the gravity of the.'ludy, and she
laughed heartily. George wiped the
moisture from his brow, and in au un
dertone invoked dire maledictions upon
the head of the offended junkman. But
he determined to have it over with at all
hazards, so he went on :
" I meant to say, dear Alice, before
that infer I beg your pardon, I mean
that brawling ragman interrupted me,
that I would dress you like a queen.
Don't refuse me I Say that you will be
my wife."
Alice, who really loved the hand
some young man, looked into his eyes,
and, as she smoothed his raven hair,
said
" George, if I were sure that you real
ly meant what you have been telling
me, I should be tempted to give my
consent."
" Oh, Alice," cried the ardent wooer,
in a reproachful tone, " eau you doubt
my love? I swear by "
"Kindlln' wood I Kindlln' woodl'l
suggested a cross-eyed colored man In a
cream-colored coat, as he paused In front
of the mansion.
" I swear by all my hopes that I have
only spoken that which my heart and
soul prompted me to. Do you believe
me, Alice V"
"Yes, George," she murmured, "I be
lieve you."
"Oh, thank you I thank youl" cried
the now delighted lover. "And now,
darling, that you have consented, let us
talk about the blissful future. I will
buy a cottage, and you can have a little
garden and spend your time cultivating
dellciously perfumed"
"OnlotiBl onions I" hinted a thin fe
male with an old shawl over her head,
as she shuffled down the street.
"Oh, confound the peddlers 1" pettish
ly exclaimed George. "It seems as if
the entire fraternity had resolved to per
ambulate this street to-day. I meant to
say that you could tend the flowers
while I was absent. I have quite a sum
of money, and intend going into' busi
ness for myself. I think I shall try"
"Mutches and shoe laces 1" suggested
a small boy with a remarkably big
voice.
This comical interruption was too
much for human nature, and George
aroso and paced the floor exclted1y,while
Alice nearly strangled herself in at
tempting to suppress her emotion.
"Alice," Bald George, with a woe-be-gone
expression, "for Heaven's sake
take me out into the hall, in the kitchen,
cellar any where but this room I The
peddlers will drive me mad if I remain
here much longer."
Alice consented, and led the way to
the bnck parlor. While they were go
ing, George remarked,
"I could not tell you half my plans in
that room, Alice. My mind is confused,
and my language Beems to be all"
"Soft soap I soft soap I" declared a
shrill voice from without.
George struck his forehead savagely
and said something, but fortunately the
slamming of the door rendered it unin
telligible to Alice.
Once removed from the cause of his
trouble, George soon regained his good
humor; and succeeded so well with his
wooing, that, when, about two hours
after, he took his departure, he did so as
the prospective husband of the hand
some heiress, Alice Somerville.
Not long after this, George and Alice
were married. George's description of
his love was not in the least overdrawn,
as his only thought was to make the life
of his young wife happy. Our hero's
aversion to peddlers has never been re
moved, aud he always regards them
with an unsympathetic scowl. And
now, when Alice wishes to tease him a
little, she merely remarks something
about "matches and shoe laces."
A Dutchman's Lesson.
ANY shentleman vot vill go round
pehind your face und talk in front
of your pack apout sometings, vas a
shvindler. I beared dot Brown says
veek pefore next apout me I vas a
henshpecked hiiBpant. Dot vas a lie!
De proof of de eating vas in de pud
dings: I am married twenty years already,
Und I vas yet not paid-headed. I don't
vos oonder some petty-goats gofern
ments ; shtlll I tinks it vas petter if a
feller vill insult mit his vife und got
her advices apout sometings or oder. .
Dem American vomans dot know
sometings nefer about her huspant's
peesness, und veu dem hart times comes,
und not bo much money comes in de
house, dot makes not some tifference
mit her. Shtlll she moost have vone of
that pull-back- in-de-front- hoop skirt-petty-goats,
mit efery kind trimmings.
Booty soon dat huspant gets pankrupted
all to pieces. Dey send for de Doctor;
und vhen de Doctor comes de man dies.
Den dot vomans vas opliged to marry
mit anoder mans vot she don't maype
like mit four or six shildrens, on ac
count' of his first vife already, und
possobably vone or two modders-by-law
vone second-handed und de oder a
shtepmudder-out-law. Den she says
mit herself, " I efen vish dot I vas dead
a little."
Now if Cherman's husbant go dead,
don't make a pit of difference. Nopody
vould hardly know it, except maype
herself. His vife goes on mit .de pees
ness on sbust like notlngs has happen
ed to somepody.
American vomans and Cherman vo
mans vas a different kind peobles. For
instinct, last year dot same feller, Mr.
Brown, goes mit me in de putcher
peesness togeder. He vas American
man so vas his vife. Veil, many time
vhen efery peobles has got the panic
pooty bad, dot vomln comes to her
huspant und says she mooat have money.
Den she goes out riding mit a car
riages. Vonce on a time Brown says to me,
" Bender, I vouldn't be henshpecked."
So he vent off und got himself tight
shust pecause his vife tells him please
don't do it. Den he sits down on his
pack mit de floor, und if I am not
dere dot time he never vould got
home.
Veil, dot night, me und my vife, ve
had a little talk apout sometings; und
de next tay I says to Brown, " Look
here vonst ! My vife she makes sau
sages, undvorks In dot shtore; also
my taughter she vorks by the shtore
und makes head-skeeses ; und your vife
vas going out riding all de times mit de
horses car, und a patent tled-pack car
dinal shtrlped stockings. Now your
vife mooBt go vork in de shtore und cut
beefshteaks, und make saurekraut, or
else ve divide not equally any more dot
profits."
" Veil, Brown goes home und he tells
his vife apout dot. Den she comes pooty
quick mit Brown around, und we had a
misundershtandlng apout sometings,
in vhich eferybody took a part, includ
ing my little dog Kaiser. Pooty soon
up comes a policemans und arrests us
for breeches of promises to keep de
pieces, und assaulting de battery, or
sometings. Den de Arm of Bender &
Brown was broke up. I go apout my
peesness. My vife Bhe helps in de
shtore. His vife goes riding mid the
horses cars, und efery nights she vas by
the theater.
Vot's de gonsequences t Along comes
dot Centennial panic. Dot knocks
Brown more higher as two kites, py
Chlmmlny ! My income vas shtill more
as my outcome. But 'Brown, he goes
'round dot streets mit his hands out of
his pockets, und he don't got a cent to
his pack.
Old Maids and Old Bachelors.
OLD maids are useful. They can
cook, sew, take care of the children,
nurse sick people, and generally play
the piano.
Old bachelors are useless. They do
not even know how to drive nails or
split wood.
Old maids are amiable. If one wants
anything done that requires patience
and kindness of heart, a single lady is
sure to be the one to do it.
Old bachelors are ill-natured. They
desire to be as disobliging as possible,
snub children, despise babies, and hate
young mothers, and are always so busi
ly employed in seeing that other people
take good care of them that they have
not a moment to give to any one else.
Old maids are nice-looking and very
"young for their years."
Old bachelors generally have red
noses, rheumatism in their knees, bald
heads, and mouths that turn down at
the corners.
Old maids can make a home of one
little room, and cook delicious meals
for one over the gas Jet In cunning little
tin kettles, besides making all their
own wardrobe.
Old bachelors need an army of tai
lors, writers, cooks, distant relatives,
and hotel landlords, to keep them com
fortable. When old maids are ill they tie up
their heads in pocket handkerchiefs,
take homoepathio pellets out of the
two bottles alternately, and get well
again.
When old bachelors are ill they go
to bed and send for four doctors ; have
a consultation ; a mantlepiece full of
black bottles, all the amiable married
men who belong to the club to sit up
with them at night, beside a hired
nurse; they telegraph to their rela
tions, and do their best to Impress the
world with the idea that they are dy
ing. When an old maid leaves this sphere
of action Bhe straightway joins the
white-robed host, but with a crusty old
bachelor it's a little mixed. Ex.
" The old bach" in our office has no
doubt but that an " old maid" wrote the
above.
Proposed to his Grandmother.
COLONEL THORNTON, of the East
India service, tells this romance
of his youth :
" One clear starlight evening in June,
Helen and I were walking on the ter
race among flower-beds, that were cut
In the soft green turf. Inspired by the
stillness and odorous Influence of the
air, I told her my heart's secret.wlth all
its hopes and fears.
" She looked at me wonderingly , and
tears glistened in her beautiful eyes as
Bhe-said :"
" Ah, Captain Thornton, are you sure,
do you do you love me Y It cannot be.
No, never!"
" Why," I cried.lmpetuously pressing
my suit with her, " you love another V"
" Sir," she said almost sharply, " do
you know who I am ?"
" The loveliest girl iu England !"
" No, Bir ; I am not ; Great heavens,
Captain Thornton, I am your grand
mother." " My grandmother I" Talk of sudden
shocks after that, won't you t I tried
to speak, but my voice failed me. I
reached out my hand and touched her.
Yes, she was there, real enough, and I
Vas not dreaming.
" Tell me all," I gasped.
"And standing there, by the broad
stone coping, she told me all. How
her parents had died when she was
little more than an infant, and Sir John,
her guardian and my grandfather, had
watched over her with Jealous care al
ways keeping her at school, however.
until he brought her home a young
lady.
"Then, while I was In India, the poor
old man fell suddenly ill, and on his dy
ing bed persuaded his young ward to
marry him, Just In order to share his
vast estote, which she had refused to
take as a legacy.
" And believe me," said Miss Helen,
" I did it only to keep it for you, the
rightful heir, whose wildness had tem
porarily provoked the old gentleman."
The Greatest of Trifles.
THE best fidelity to Christ is shown
in a dally vigilant service to him
in trifles, in efforts to honor him In
a daily vigilant service to him in trifles,
in efforts to honor him in humble, in
conspicuous services, such as in good
temper iu the families, sympathy with
man and beast, honesty in business,
liberality to servants, fidelity to em
ployers. These things make up the
best disclpleship. The same truth ap
plies to many things. The best paint
ings are those where such details as the
blades of grass, the leaves of the trees,
the lines upon the water, and similar
minute points, are most perfectly de
lineated. Artistic excellency consists chiefly in.
the complete accuracy which the sloth
ful or the ignorant worker cannot, or
will not accomplish. The great Italian
sculptor, Michael Angelo, was once
visited by an acquaintance, who re
marked, on entering his studio, " Why,,
you have done nothing to that figure
since I was here last." " Yes," was the
reply; "1 have softened this expression,,
touched off that projection, and made
other improvements." " Oh !" said the
visitor, "those are mere trifles."
"True," answered Michael Angelo,
" but remember that trifles make per
fection ; and perfection is no trifle." In
like manner, the highest forms of de
votion to Christ consist In fidelity to
apparent . trifles. For only heartfelt
love and abiding recollectedness of
Him, as an ever-beloved object, will
enable his disciples to maintain through
out each day, in word and company, in
busy occupation and before his enemies,
the duty of honoring Him thus con
tinuously and in the whole details of
life.
How to Cure Stammering.
LUTE A. TAYLOR, editor of the
La Crosse (W1b.) Leader who was
born an inveterate stammerer writes as
follows about the way to cure the
habit :
" No stammering person ever found
any difficulty in singing. The reason
of this is that by keeping time, the or
gans of speech are kept in such position
that enunciation is easy. Apply the
same rule to reading or speech, and the
same result will follow.
Let the stammerer take a sentence,
say this one, "Leander swam the
Hellespont" and pronounce it by syl
lables, scan it, keeping time with bis
finger, If necessary, letting each syl
lable occupy the same time, thus, Le-an-der-swam-the-Hel-leB-pont,
and he
will not stammer. Let him pronounce
slowly first, then faster, but still keep
ing time with words instead of syllables,
and he will be surprised to find that, by
very little practice, he will read with
out stammering, and nearly as rapidly
as persons ordinarily talk or read. Then
practice this in reading and conversa
tion until the habit is broken up. Per
severance and attention are all that ia
necessary to perfect a cure."
An inextinguishable Fire.
Some fifty years ago, a gang of Bel
gian miners, angry with another set of
underground workers, set a mass of
coal on fire to smoke out their comrades.
How well they succeeded, let the record
of half a century tell. Years have pass
ed away, a generation has faded, the
angry passion of those who thus sought
revenge has become a thing of the past ;
but the fire started in that mine long
ago blazes on, and no earthly skill has
yet found the way to extinguish it.
Burning on, ever consuming, it is a
fitting type of the unceasing power of
sin and passion, of the never-ending,
fire which they kindle.
From the Huff..
There is perhaps no tonlo offered to
the people that possesses so much real
Intrinsic value as the Hop Bitters. Just
at this season of the year, when the
stomach needs an appetizer, or the blood
needs purifying, the cheapest and best
remedy is Hop Bitters. An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure,
don't wait until you are prostrated by a
disease that may take months for you to
recover in. Boston Globe. 22
