A Romantic Story.

THE Kansas City (Mo.) Times of recent
date tells the following romantic story:
On Saturday evening Justice Suttons
! office was the scene of the termination of
most romantic affair. A young and
very pretty girl, named Almeda Cosgrove,
residing at San Diego, last summer re-
sponded to an advertisement in the Vac
aly Magazine for correspondence with a
view to matrimony. The new cores
bondent of the young lady resides at
|Wathena, Kansas, and represented him
self to be merchant, young, wealthy,
honest. and in want of wife. A long
land loving correspondence ensued be
tween Jerome Markham and Miss Cos
grove. Photographs were exchanged,
and Miss Cosgrove was delighted to find
her unseen lover good-lOoking youth
FINALLY she consented to become Mrs
Markham, and for economy's sake con-
scented to come to Wathena to be married
sBeing an orphan and without restraint,
fshe took the Central Pacific about two
lweeks ago and started for Kansas. All
went well until she got on the Denver
Pacific. After leaving Cheyenne the
train struck drift ten feet high and three
hundred yards in length, and became
SUCK 1aSt.
4 While snow bound near Crow Creek,
colorado, Miss Cosgrove attracted the
Eattention of julius Emmett, commission
agent of this city, who, perceiving the
Ey0ung lady seated alone, and evidently
Funprovided for such an emergency, very
[gallantly rendered such assistance as was
|n his power to give, which was a valise
full of cold food and two buffalo robes.
The young couple were soon on friendly
social terms. Miss Cosgrove very naively
|recited her wild adventures, and was re-
Ewarded by Emmett informing her that he
twas single, etc. BY the time the Kansas
Pacific train had crossed the plains, and
j twas vending its way over the prairies of
KANSAS, the young folks were firm friends.
EThey parted with regret at Wathena,
when the young lady turned to meet for
Rthe first time him whom she was to call her
husband She had only moment to
] wait before roughlooking individual, at
least forty years of age, made himself
known as her correspondent and expect
Z ant husband Miss Cosgrove, finding she
fhad been deceived, turned, without
R WORD, and entered the car and came to
Kansas City. The following brief item in

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

In reply to the question, does it pay
for farmer to make or mend his tools 2
HearM and Home says II he has no
more profitable employment for his time,
and is able to do it, it will certainly pay
him. If he has time and can not do it, it
will pay him to learn. II the farm is the
place to make money, the stable and
workshop are the places to save IT.

overwork, or bad feed. Hearth and Home

Painting is nowadays a very lucrative
calling in England, especially portrait
painting. Many men are realizing from
$4,000 to $50, 600 year. Sir Edwin Land
seer ought to die rich. From first to last
he must have received more than half a
million of dollars, because after the orlgi-
nal payment he has derived such large
sums for the copyright of prints. Sir
Thomas Lawrence had the most lucrative
of practices after Reynolds time, and be-
fore Landseer's. He used to charge SD,
600 for a portrait, and required 81, 500 at
the first sitting. Chantrey, the famous
sculptor, made immense profits by his art.
He was very close-fsted as he grew
wealthy, and died immensely rich. His
widow is still living, but ne left no child.
After her death his property willgo to the
advancement Of artistic institutions.
Chantrey was originally quite in humble
life, as was Noble, the most eminent
sculptor in England at present.

DIR. NICHOLAS says, in the Johr,sM q
chemistry, that the corn plant, like all 9th
er vegetable structures, has but one OBJ
iect or aim in its growth, and that is to
produce seed 1t is engaged during its
whole life in storing up large quantities
|of starch, which is to be used when the
pressing occasion arrives, or the seed YES
sells mature, to form by some subtle, mys-
ferrous changes the rich nutrient princi-
pies which are found in seeds. As soon
as this struggle is over, the corn plant,
like all animals, dies natural death. 1t
is not necessary for the frost to strike 1t;
1t dies from simple exhaustion. Inc
proper time to cut and feed corn stalks IS
during the four or five weeks which sue
coed inforesence, or in other words they
should not be cut until the flower is larry
developed, and the ear commences 10
form; and any corn that is so planted
that the ear cannot form and mature, Is
practically worthless as fodder. Farm
ers may learn from these facts that corn
designed to be cut as fodder should DC
planted at two or three periods during the
season; some fields quite early, others
somewhat later, and still others as late as
safe. In this way. when the hot, dry
months Of July and August are reached
and the pastures falter, a supply OF 100,
DER is secured, at the proper stage OF
growth to afford the largest amount OF
nutriment

LINES TO KATE.

There's something in the name of Kate,
Which many will condemn;
But listen now while relate
The traits of some Of them.
There's advc-Kate, a charming miss,
Could you her hand obtain.
She'll lead you in the path of bliss,
Nor plead your cause in vain.
There's deli Kate, modest dame,
And worthy of your love;
She's nice and beautiful in frame,
And gentle as dove.
Communi- Kate's intelligent.
As we may well suppose;
Her fruitful mind is ever bent
On telling what she knows.
There's intr- Kate. she's so obscure,
IT'S hard to find her out,
For she is often very sure
To put your wits to rout.
Preyari-Kate's stubborn maid.
She's sure to have her way,
The cayiling, contrary jade
Objects to all you say.
There's alter-Kate, perfect pest,
Much given to dispute;
Her rafting tongue can never rest,
You cannot her refute.
There's dislo-Kate, quite in fret,
Who fails to gain her point;
Her case is quite unfortunate,
And sorely out of joint.
Equiyo-Kate no one will WOO.
The thing would be absurd:
She ia so faithless and untrue,
You cannot take her word
There's yindi-Kate, she's good and true,
And strives with all her might,
Her duty faithfully to do.
And battles for the right,
There's rusti-kate, a country lass,
Quite fond of rural scenes
She likes to ramble through the grass,
And through the evergreens.
OF all the maidens you can find,
There's none like edu-Kate,
Because she elevates the mind.
And aims for something great
