THE PREMIUM YOUNG LADY.

A story of a Tennessee County Fair with
several Morals.
| heard Of a young lady the other day up
in middle Tennessee who, as river men say,
has taken another chute. The story told
about her did my soul good, and for the
comfort of other half-starved dyspeptics like
myself, whose tardy sustentaton is effected
by means of fried chicken, soggy biscuits,
greasy hash and sole-eather fritters, I'll re-
late it, For years past, as mere matter
of form-something handed down from re-
mote antiquity the officers Of the county
fair held in the neighborhood where this
young lady lived have been in the habit Of
offering premium to the lady (uumarried)
cooking the best dinner. 1t was a dead let
ter. Nobody had contested for the premi.
UNI within the memory of the oldest inhabit-
ant. This year, however, the young lady of
whom l am speaking determined to compete
for tho prize. Her name-I wish could
mmortalize twas Kate Janaway. The
fair men set up stove for her, stretched
a canvas to shield her from the sun, and
about IL o'clock of the last day she went to
work, The matter had been talked about
by every one in the neighborhOod, and curins-
ity was on tip-toe. A crowd collected
around the place where the stove was set
up early in the morning and kept increasing,
but when Miss Kate herself, buxom
handsome girl of 10, daughter of the ex-may-
or of the town, appeared on the ground, and
putting on a white apron and rolling up her
sleeves commenced operations, all other at
fractions were nothing. Every one was ca
ger to see so novel sight There was a
tree near by which soon became black with
spectators who had climbed up to get bet
ter view. The branches were, finally, so
burdened that one by one they broke, pre-
cipitating those upon them to the ground,
until only one man was left in the tree.
He sat in lofty fork with eyes riveted to
the scene below No amount of persuasion
by those beneath, envious of his better view
could induce him to come down-even q
bride Of ten dollars failed. He said he was
bound to see or die.
Meanwhile the dinner preparations went
on apace. The savOry smell Of the cooking

THE SUMMER OF LIFE.


In the chill Of winter the Year lying low
Has sigh for the breoEes Of June,
That amid the rich blossoms did balmily blow,
And that breathed Of the airs Of the bright Long Ago
Which the memory-bells set in tune
Every heart has It's winter, when some rounded sweet
Slips away, to be tasted no moro
When December looks backward to loving days feet
That fod, with their love and their beauty com
plete
Out Of reach, 10 an untrodden shore.
And the chimes Of Affection ring softly and clear
For the sunshny days that are flown,
For the loves and the hopes Of the fast dlng year
For the voices that made all the music 40 dear
In the Summer Of Life we have known
o the Summer Of Life II is blosming somewhere
Just away DER the snowcovered hills,
We shall climb them and under It's blossoms wo there
Shall grow young with nhaling It's balmsccnted air,
By the side Of the sweetsinging rills
In New Year, all golden with beautiful light,
That is born amid fairest Of flowers,
We shall count the glad days never ending in night,
And shall bask in the smiles Of a ever bright,
with no shadows to darken the hours
Then ring out ring aloud merry peals o 70 bells
Ring aloud for the promise Of Time
For your anthem, that the air rises and swells,
ora song that is sweeter and grander foretells,
In the land Of the Summer sublmol
Bring 1t nearer, o bells that SO joyfully ring
May we see the land dawn thro' the blue!
May we join in the heart swelling chorus to sing,
Where the beauties we cherish shall take wing
And the Year shall forever be New

food seemed to intoxicate the crowd, which
pressed nearer and nearer. It took all the
police force on the grounds to keep order.
The time arrived for the trottiug match, an.
nounced as the sport of the day, but the
amphitheater was empty. The judges with
the exception Of one grabbed old widowerO
the timers, all we're missing, and so nothing
was done. AT halfpast 2 the dinner was
announced ready, and the judges, happy
men, seated themselves at the table--the
crowd regarded them with ill-disguised envy.
A roast Of beef, delicately done, was put
steaming hot upon the table, then followed
corn pudding, whose delicate aroma fell up
on the olfactories Of the excited crowd "like
breezes of Araby the blest :" prolusion of
vegetables, cooked to perfection, followed
next. The judges ate and ate, praising the
flavor Of the food and the skill of the cook
at every mouthful, Bat when, at last, a
dessert of piping hot apple dumplings made
no "PpVoiauVOf tho iOIucuIduCO Vi tne crowd
was at an end. They broke through the
ropes into the ring with one accord, and the
dumpings disappeared in a trice.
One old fellow, proprietor of store and
owner of big saw-mill, proposed to the
young lady on the spot, but he was quickly
collared and led off the grounds by two
young aspirants, who made common cause
against the aged sutton, saw-mill and all.
That young lady was the centre of attraction
in her town after the cooking feat. She re.
ceived 20 offers of marriage the first week
and her fame spread through all tho country

Grundy county, with farm so big that il
takes him all day to ride round it, and eattl,
on hundred hills, heard of her. and made
a pilgrimage all the way to that town tc

though some Of the young men of the plac,
sued out writ of habeas corpus to proven
her being carried out of the county. They
were too late.
This, is, am aware, rather sad endinl
for so good story, but devotion to the trull

unvarnished reality. She ought to hav

BEHIND THE VAIL.

Mr.. Edge was late at breakfast. That
was not an unusual occurrences and he was
disposed to be cross, that was likewise moth
ing new, so he retired behind the newspaper
and devoured his eggs and toast without
vouchsa6ng any reply to the remarks of the
fresh looking little lady opposite, to wit ;
Mrs. Edge. But she was gathering togeth-
er forces for the final onslaught and when
at length Mr.. Edge had got down to the last
paragraph, and laid aside the newspaper, it
came.
"Dear, didn't you say you were going to
have a hundred dollars for my new furs to-
day."
"What furs ?' (rather sharply was this
spoken.) "Oh, pshaw What is the use
of being extravagant? | have no money
to lay out in useless follies. The old ones
are good enough for any sensible woman to
wear"
Mrs. Edge-good, meek little soul that
she was-relapsed into obedient silence
She only sighed soft inward sigh, and pres
sently began new attack,
"Henry will you go with me to my aunt's
tonight"
Giant you 60 alone ?"
"Alone how would it look ?" Mrs. FL
temper-for she had one, though it did moi
often parade itself--was aroused. "You
are 50 neglectful of those little attentions
you used to pay me once; you never walk
with me, nor ever pick up my handkerchief
nor notice my dress as you once did,"
"Well, fellow can't be ever waiting OIL
a woman, can he2" growled Mr. Edge.
"You could be polite enough to Mrs
Waters last night, when you never ever
thought to ask whether | wanted anything
though you knew perfectly well that | haC

me as much as you used to"-and Mrs. Edg
looked extremely pretty with the tears il
her blue eyes and the culver on her round

Sir Ashley Cooper, on visiting Paris, was
asked by the surgeon-in-chief of the empire
how many times he had performed certain
wonderful feat of surgery. He replied that
he had performed the operation thirteen
times. "Ah, but, monsieur, l have done
him one hundred and sixty times. How
many Zines did you save his life 2" continued
the Frenchman, after he had looked at the
blank amazcment of Sir Astley's face. a."
said the Englishman, "saved eleven out of
thirteen. How many did you save out of

THE DAWN OF LOVE.

Many a castle I've built in the air,
With pure white turrets that cleaned in the light,
And pinnaeles soaring so stately and fair
That heaven was almost in sight
My birds promise in gardens sweet,
Have fnttered away into tender song,
And nestled down with their dainty feet
On the amber hills Of dawn.
1t was years ago that the golden edge
OFFS twilight drifting cloud Of sail
Hung low on the face Of a silver sea,
In the flow of the sunsets trail.
The sunlight had melted upon the wave
Into purple and silver and amethyst,
And drifting away in the molten pearl
We sailed by the peaceful isles Of rest
The spirit of gladness came floating down
Over the waves of the silent deep,
And the sunset swept to her distant isles,
Where the birds were fast asleep.
And still we sailed on through the distance dim,
Mooring at last by the islands ofloye,
Where the night winds whispered yesper hymn
To the waking stars in the depths above,
She was as pure as a lily of gold
Asleep on the breast OF cry stall stream,
And her voice as sweet as the song of bird
In the hush of a sunset dream.
Her eyes were as blue as q violets heart,
Fringed over and yelled by delicate lid,
And back in the depths ofher golden hair
The pinky tips Of her ears lay hid.
Through the deepening shades, the starlight fell
On the pure, rapt face of my dreaming love,
And the soft perfume Of a thousand flowers
Came drifting down from the isles above.
Over the-marge Of the golden sands
The rills OF the mountains with laughter sweet
Slipped into the breast of the pulsing sea
That murmured beneath our feet.
My heart was crowned with new found bliss,
As her pure sweet lips to my were prest,
For there in the rapture Of loves first kiss,
We had founo tranquil rest.
O'er the rim Of the boundless starlit sea,
The moon sailed up like a spirit bride;
Our sails were set for the hour Of love
Had passed away with the eventide.
