Some parties are disposed to believe
that both parties were acting under a
misapprehension of the intentions of
their antagonists, and that the negroes
intended no aggression during the night.
Others are inclined TO think differently,
holding that, Judging from all the sur
rounding circumstances, the negroes
were bent on a raid, and were only
stopped in their nefarious designs by the
timely arrival of Sheriff Curry and a
sufficient force to turn the train of events
upon themselves, and that the matter is

We boasted of a little library in this new home
of ours, and Jenny took it upon herself to put
this room to rights; but it being very high, we
were forced to improvise some steps in order to
reach the top shelf; and we did SO by putting
an old-fashioned stand on top of table, and
climbing to it by the aid of a chair and anoth-
er stand.
l had use for the other stand, and took il
away, promising to bring it back in good time
but, being busy, l forgot about it, and Will
found her puzzling over the mode ofdescent.

"Thank We, I'll not make promises. Mrs. Bic

"But Jenny, Jenny Cleary, don't you know
that l love you" (he had known her three
weeks then, "and want you be my wife !"
"Sure an don't think Mr.. Heidburg wants
an Irish girl for his wife; he's joking"
81 am not joking l do not care whether you
are Irish, Dutch, or Danish, l love you for your
self and l want you to be my wife,"
l was just bringing the stand, and heard so
much, and didn't think it quite right to lis
ten for her answer but an hour afterwards,
sound something like kiss-only wouldn't
dare to say it was one, but his lips were suspi-

So I knew the secret was out. and Jenny,
with blushing cheeks, came down to tea, in her

about Christmas time had mauve silk, and
John got white kids--you can guess for what
That was five years. Will and Jenny keep

Street Thoughts.

Walking down street in thoughtful mood,
l find myself thinking of the people l meet.
Many and varied are the faces around me,
people of all classes and conditions, each one
intent on their own plans and purposes.
Here come two middle aged ladies chatting
on the way, discussing very earnestly, their
days's shopping in view. Now come two little
girls, dancing along, brimfuI ofjoy, careless and
happy. Pass slowly, o Time Let the days of
the happy child life be long and many.
Next comes sad faced lady, robed in mourn
ing garments, which mutely tell of the loss of
dear ones. She is leading little boy by the
hand, striving to interest him and, as | pass
them, l hear the sweet voice pleading, "Be
happy for my sake, dear mamma" which is
answered by flood of tears under the thick
Grape veil, and the instructive clingng closer
yet to the little hand within her own. o
mother-love strongest, purest OF all, willing,
glad to endure, without thought of self, for the
life dearer than its own.
Just before me is an old man, white-haired
and bowed with age, staying his faltering steps
with the staff in his hand, and, as | pass him,
| glance at the pleasant face, and notice the
smile wreathirg the thin lips still. And
wonder if it is hard to be old-to know life is
almost done. And this thought comes to me,
Gas life is spent, so shall the end be-" II wasted,
there must be beunavailing regrets; if we'll spent,
there is that consciousness of nearness to the
joys unspeakable that's waiting.
Just by me are two gentlemen walking arm
in arm, one of whom is emphatically business
man. Business flashes from every glance of
the eye business speaks in every turn of the
head and the amount of business details that
flow from his mouth is astonishing. His COM
panion is diminutive, shivering little man,
who abhors business in every form, and to
whom the remarks of his business friend give
no pleasure.
And now my attention is attracted to lady
by my side, of some forty years, whose very
step indicates her independence ofall mankind.
That she is spinister know by her general
appearance. She has long arms (old maids
always do), she is tall and thin, she has sharp
eyes, sharp nose, and has a sharp, fierce look
generally. The cares of neighborhood scandal
have left their lines upon her brow, and her
lips are thin from constant using. All, good
morning She has stepped into hair-dresser's.
l noticed there were three distinct colors in her
chiguon, and the little prim curls that were
hung around it.
Don't think don't like old maids. do have
a great regard for them. 1t is these prim, cross,
selfish, gossipng cid maids that desp pse; and
| knew this was one OF them.
