Weighed in the Balance.

Cyrus Ferriston and his mother We're all
that remained Of the family. They lived
together in a snug farmhouse in district
SO rural that it hadn't so much as a name :
II had only number-Township Number
One. People below, in the adjoining farm
villages. spoke Of it and its neighbors as
The Numbers. 1t might have been sup.
posed to be the outskirts of civilization
its frontiers; for the nearest neighbor was
five miles away, the only religious exer-
cises were held in Deacon Crocket's kitch-
en-. three miles further of, while there
were ten miles between them and the doc
tor. Cyrus was an energetic fellow who
farmed in Summer and logged in the Win
ter, that is, he usually took a contract to
bring the drive of logs down from the
woods therefore he had been in the habit
OF borrowing Farmer Hutton's daughter
Jane to keep his mother company and
help her about the house, for small con-
sideration. Sometimes, too, Jane staid
on through the Summer, or returned for
the harvesting when it was heavy; and at
such times Cyrus always observed that
his butter and cheese found more ready
market; that the house was more cheerful
and better kept-for odd Mrs. Ferriston
was one of the slack kind; that provisions
went further and relished better. But for
all this he felt no inclination to marry
Jane, as folks at Wheatfield had predicted
when she first went to The Numbers.
Jane was called plain; and Cyrus had a
prepossession that his wife should be rosy
and dark-eyed, with the smile that con-
quers men. Jane halted in her gait the
least bit in the world-his wife should
have the step of panther. She always
dressed sOberly, like brown leaf, as il
she would like to melt into the landscape
his wife should carry her fascination in.
to the knot Of ribbon at her throat, or the
slipper on her foot. Therefore it was ut
terly out of the question, if we put any
faith in logic, that Jane should become the
wife of Cyrus.
But alas! as it often happens. she had
| not Wintered and Summered at the Mum
bers for naught. When the neighbors had
| lectured her as she was about to leave heI
home for the first season, and prophesied
swell Jane, dare say it won't be long be
fore you'll, be changing your name to
Ferriston," Jane had laughed at the no
tion, and had reckoned that Cyrus hadnr
enough schooling to please her, ant
thought that she could never be reconcilet
to spending her days in The Numbers.
| Folks as held their heads as high a:
you, Miss, hev had ter come to it," they
answered her. But when she became ac
Qnainted with Cyrus in his every day lif'
and thought, she found that he knew NOR
than she had ever dreamed. He had lit
tie library of books on u swinging shel
that he had made with his own hands, an,
had carved with deers' horns and oal
leaves; he could talk with her about tn
heroes of Plutarch and the empires Of tn
Old World, about election and freewill

EXPLAINED 1T TO HER.-Ycsterday
morning says the Detroit Free Press, an
old lady, who lives in the west part of this

scandal. "What is that thing, anyhow"
