Best Organs ON Most Favorable Terms.

Cabinet or parl0r Organs are capital
things for peddlers to work with, because
very poor ones can be- made at hall the
cost Of good ones, and Few people arc COM
petent to tell the difference from first
examination. Manufacturers print in
their catalogues prices which are three or
four times as high As the value of such
cheap work. Then the peddler starts out
and puts them on the people in various
ways. lie sells at an enormous discount,
il he can get cash; takes part trade, IL
necessary, or leaves the organ a while ON
trial, and sells il ON long time at man
ufacturers price," exhibiting the cata-
loguc 10 show that il is such, or even at a
discount from this, which he can well
afford.
The Mason 4 lIamlin Organ Go. have
recently announced plan which Is likely
to interfere with this business. This
Company, rs is well known, makes only
the best work, which, by its uniform eN-
cellence, has obtained the highest repu-
tation for their organs. They proved the
hest, and obtained the highest Gwards at
the recent Vienna and Paris Worlds
Expositions, as they have uniformly
done in American Industrial compcti-
tions. The feet that these organs are
the best in the world is, indeed, too well
established to need further endorsement.
The Company have now added large
new factory to their former extensive
works, and design To greatly increase their
business. This they propose To do by
offering organs for time payments, or for
rent with privilege of purchase, at barely
sufficient advance on the cash prices TO
afford reasonable interest for the time.
An organ may be hired by the quarter
with privilege to purchase at any time
in one year or longer. If purchased
within the year, the whole cost, includ-
ing rent paid, is only five To ten per cent.
more than il the cash had been paid
down at the beginning.
Persons having any idea of purchasing,

York or Chicago, and obtain their new

THE WssHED.FOR sAW.NgLL.
From Hsrrets rarar
In one Of my angling excursions !
went, by the advice Of my knowing friend
Nibbs, to try the small river Toft, which
runs through bretty bit of country,
and has on its hanks the village, or more
properly, hamlet, Of Whorile, where ]
took up my residence. The place had no
inn, but that did not matter. Anglers
are not particular as to lodging. The \
cottage which gave me shelter was clean
and comfortable enough; Mrs. Williams,
motherly dame, had a good store Of
sweet linnen, and made capital bread. \
There was a difficulty about butcher
meat, but sides Of bacon were suspended
all over the kitchen ceiling, eggs were
reckoned by the dozen, chickens and
ducks were chuckling and quacking all I
around, excellent vegetables grew in the
garden; and for fish, in my opinion,
small river trout are almost as nice to
eat as to catch, which is saying a great
deal.

CHAPTER VI.


JUDITH RECEIVES VISITS
Judith watched her father ride away
into the hazy distance of the spring twi-
light, and having coaxed Katie to go
10 sleep on "Pap's bed" sat down to her
books. She read by the light of tallow
dip the poems Mr.. Shultz had asked her
TO criticize, wondering if her judgment
about them could possibly be worth any
thing, and reading, soon became con-
scious of very distinct impression con-
eerning them. So absorbed were her
thoughts in the subject that the clatter-
ing Of a horses feet suddenly checked
close at hand gave her a violent heart
beat, and caused her to look at the guns
in their hanging racks, speculating
whether she really should use them if q
danger threatened. Directly there came
a rat-tat-tat upon the outside Of the
house, and voice which Judith could
not mistake was calling out, "Ohi
Milesr with that peculiar infection
which makes the exclamation, "oh, u
before a name, the distinctive hail Of the
Southern people; used more or les:
throughout the West, where, on account
OF its resonant qualities, it is found
suited to long distances.
Judith quickly opened the door tc
that call, with feeling of relief and
joy proportiOnate to her usual alarm
and there, in the moonlight, was Mr.
Shultz, who, expecting TO see her fathel
instead, had not dismOunted.
"Good-evening, Miss Judith" HI
called out, cheerily. "Your father-i
he i'm ?"
''Pap has gone to the meeting at tn
school-house," answered Judith from
the doorstep.

she asked, her curiosity getting the bet

"Did you say he was dead ~ de-
manded Judith without answering, and
gazing at her with frightened eyes.
"The bullet broke his arm, Tim sez.
reckon he isn't very badly hurt" was
the consoling reply of Mrs. Parker.
A great sob was swelling up in Judith's
bosom, partly of relief, and greatly
also the expression of other feelings
less understood. she would not betray
her emotion to the impertinent gossip
whose errand she knew was to pry into
her sentiments concerning Mr.. Shultz,
and taking advantage of a momentary
diversion caused by the youngest of the
Parker brood who had fallen into grief
through handling the kitchen fire tongs,
darted up to her attic to struggle there
for the mastery of her new and inexpli-
cable feelings. When she reappeared
she held in her hands some of Katie's
discarded toys which she pretended to
have been seeking, for the amusement OF
the unfortunate Parker.
"Yew must come over an see me,
right soon," said Mrs. Parker when she
was taking leave thatafternoon. "We've
got new hand tew our house-a right
smart feller as ever 1 seen, an a heap
suitabler to a gal like yew than that
stuck-up Dutchman," with which part
ing jibe she gathered her brood and
"struck out" for the home ranch vigor-
ously.
"Oh, Boone!" cried Judith, rushing
into the little sitting-room with both
hands over her overfiowing eyes; ''if
you knew how tired and miserable your
sister is, you would fly to me in spite of
everything. I wish 1 knew where you
are-I would follow you-anywherer
Then she cried passionately, as it was
her habit to do when her trouble seemed
greater than she could bear; and tn,
shower cleared somewhat her menta
atmosphere, as it is the mission OF sucl
summer showers to do.
