A Bit of Romance.

The lives Of the pioneers in the
remote mining districts of Califor-
MIA were generally devoid of ro-
nance or excitement, save that wit
messed at the gaming tables, and to
relieve the monotony of mountain
life they frequently passed few
months in "Frisco" (San Francis
co., or sojourned for a season with
the Webfeet, otherwise known as
Oregonians. Mr.. Charles Brad
bury, of Indian Town, Northern
Calf Drn q, had been fortunate in
mining, and as winter was approach
ing, when little could be done in his
claim, he left it in care of his part
ners and set out to visit q relative
who resided in the Willamette Val
ley some three hundred miles dis
tant. A party had been made up
to cross the Sisbiyon, on the sum-
nit of which the snow already lay
deep. This, it was understood,
would be the last party which
would undertake the passage of the
mountains before they should be
closed for the winter.
Near the time of starting they
were joined by young man named
Boise, whose par ents resided in
Oregon. He had recently been suf-
rering from indisposition, and was
cautioned not to undertake the trip,
which was sufficiently arduous even
for the most vigorous; but his
anxiety overcome his prejudice,
and he set cut with the others
Before the summit was re ed he
became quite exhausted, and had
il not been for the kindly assist
ance of Bradbury, he must have
perished. From this occurrence
they became war friends, and at
Young Boise's urgent solicitation,
Bradbury accompanied him to his
home near the head waters of the
Umpqua, where he was cordially
welcomed by the family. A sister
of his friend, named Adaliza, was
charming girl of seventeen or eight
cen summers, and at once won the
admiration of the susceptible Cali
fornian. His stay was heightened
from the few days which he at first
proposed remaining, to several
weeks. Not wishing, however, to
prolong his visit to visitation, he
bsde his new-found friends a re-
| luctant adieu, and continued on his
way 10 the Willamette. Here he

The Shirt that Opened Behind.

A man in Gl eenhel', whom we
will call William, got up tho other
morning and proceeded to put on
o shirt which his wife had Just
made for him after new pattern.
As she stoo at the mirror curl
ing her hair, she heard a suppress
ed sound, halfway between .
groan and an oath, and turning
around said, laughing:
"Why, my dear!'
"Shut up!' he calculated. "You
are born fool. Never let a wom-
an attempt to fit shirt it is ono
of the imposibilities."
"But William" deprecatirgly.
"Don't you talk-let me talk.
Do you think am going down town
in this rigs A pretty disposition
you've got; just because I happen
ed to find little fault last week
with your ironing, you must go
work and make me o shirt without
bosom Such malicious conduct,
madam, is objectionable. Shut up
| say ! won't hear word,
When q starched shirt front is the
only fnery q man INDUCES in,
is he not excusable for being par
ticular in regard to that, l should
like to knowl And this thing sets
like the devil F.! Look how baggy
it is here in front, and it feels be-
hind as if there was q board bound
across me"-walkinr IN and look
ing in the glass, hitching up FIRST
one shoulder and then the other,
after an indeseribable manner of .
man trying a new garment.
His wife dared not speak, but
bringing forth a good sized mirror
from the next room, she held it
up behind him fpr q moment; and
pereiving by his chop-fallen ex-
preston that he saw the point and
the front, she ran down stairs to
settle the coffee, and see that Brid-
get had set the table geometrically.
AS William walked down to his
Office that morning, be said to the
first friend that he met:
81 tell you Tom, that little wife
OF mine is born genius. Look at
this shirt, now; she cut and made
it all herself. Do you see it's open
behind, no confounded button
holes to bother q fellow. Just send
your wife up for the pattern"
And it was by the way Of Toms
wife that Lizzie first knew that
William was pleased with his
shirts.

Then and Now.

BY the sea, in sweet June weather,
Gazing outward on the tide,
Youth and maiden stood together,
Very happy side 10y side;
Love words by the youth we're spoken,
As he bade her an adieu
Then the tender spell was broken,
And she trembled through and through.
And she saw his vessel sailing;
Proudly DER the purple bay;
In her heart was love unfailing-
Love that cannot pass away;
Years went blythe ship returning
Never met her eyes again;
And her heart was filed with yearnings,
And her soul was Allied with pain.
June has come-the flowers are blooming
In the meadows; sweet and long
Pass the hours the birds are tuning
To the melody of song;
Yet she only feels the sadness
OF the dead hopes in her breast,
For she knows that all hor vslaNasas
Went when he sailed down the west.
Sorrow has her sweet face shaded,
And her eyes with tears are dim
Though the sunset sleamos have fadel,
Still she sits and waits for him;
Listening TO the waves low singing
Their same ccaseless tale of woe;
While dead memories are springing.
OF a love once hers 20 know.

purchased a fine horse, aud not un-
frequently tested his speed with
that of the best horses in the neigh
borhood, and always to his entire
satisfaction.
Bradbury remained a few weeks
with his relatives, but the spirit OF
unrest possessed him, and he soon
turned his face sol'hwari, urgir Q
as an excuse that his business in
Indian Town demanded his pres
ence. His business, however, was
not so pressing but that he turned
aside to halt awhile at the rancho
Of his friends, the Boises. His adj
miratiCn for the fair Adaliza had
deepened to the tender passion
and this fact he was not slow to de
clare. But she replied:
."You Californians like nothing
better than to come here and make
love to us weh-foot girls, and hav-
ing won or hearts, You go off to
your claims and never come back
"But," said Bradbury, 81 will
marry you before l go back, and
when have provided a home for
you, you shall come to me, or l will
come after you"
But she would give no direct an
swer, but remained on very friend
ly terms with him, and they often
rode together to the neighboling
village, and to other points about
the valley.
One day they were slowly riding
toward homa, and Bradbury was
urging his suit, and pleading for an
answer to end his suspense. They
were nearly a mile from the rancho,
near which grew two largo live-oalI
trees, standing very near each 9TH
cr. Said Adaliza:
"If you will pass those twin live
oaks before | do, | will go with you
to California some day"
Bradbury prided himself upon
his horsemanship, and accepted the
challenge with a wave of the hand
and laconic, "I'm your man y
hashed the spurs into his horse,
and sped like an antelope over the
plain. The girl was taken by sur
prise at his sudden movement, but
gave her horse the word, and he,
too, stretched neck and nerve till
the hollow ground rang. 1t has al
ready been intimated that Brad
bnrv was vel mounted; and his
companion was no less so, and they
rode on as only those can ride who
are at home in the saddle.
Bradbury's sudden movement
had given him the advantage by n
few rods, but he soon realized that
it would be no easy matter to main
tain it. The girl was urging her
horse by whip and voice, and hav-
ing been the winner in many hot
ly contested race, he bent to his
work in true race-horse style,
"reaching long, and breathing loud
like creviced wind blows"
Little more than half of the dis
tance was passed, when Bradbury
became aware that his competitor
was pressing hard upon his flank
and he knew that his weight was
beginning to tell on the noble beast,
which seemed TO realize the value
of the stakes for which he ram
For quarter Of mile he held his
own. Miss Boise, however, coming

most lively zeal, because their calls for aid

of the efforts of the ladies' who rendered their
services months since, and have been untiring
in their efforts ever since. The most attractive
featuresof the fair will be found on the tables ex
clusively managed and gotten up by them.
Had they not come thus generously to the

since they would have retired beaten. Now
all this has been changed. Committees have
taken hold in earnest and every day the pros
pect for the fair has frightened until those
having it in charge predict that its net receipts
will be larger than any military fair or enter
tainment ever held in Maine. Already the
contributions of money are large; Commercial
street responds as in the days of the war, and
nearly all are disposed to give helping hand.
The bird department, umbering 1900 contribu-
tions has also taken wild animals into its
rooms, and number Of rare (stuffed) speci-
mems will find a space in that department.
Yesterday the committee on war and other
relicsIreceived large variety from Lewiston.
| They also desire those having such curiosties
to bring them to City Hall to-day. or notify the
committee where they can send for them.

es coming through office for the fair I'D. H.
