Romance of a Poor Young Man.

IT is none of the worlds business who
the lady is or in what part Of the country
she resides. The facts are sufficient to
show how a lady, ~vulgarly called an old
maid, got a husband, and one that may
prove himself worthy of her. Sixmonths
ago a tramp came to a Berks County farm
house and asked the daughter for food and
it was given TO him. He was considerably
worse for wear, yet his modest demeanor
and gentlemanly bearing attracted the
attention of the family. He was given
work on the farm and shortly became a
favorite. He was sober, industrious, gen.
teel and intelligent. Gradually the
daughter took a liking to him and she
loaned him money from her own purse to
purchase clothing with. She encouraged
him to keep himself well-dressed, and in
a short time the farmer saw that his man
of all work had finally become a fine
looking and earnest sutton for his daugh-
ter's hand in marriage. 1t was first re-
fused, but the only child cried to her
mother, the mother interceded, and finally
the stern parent gave his consent. 1t was
virtually a romance in real life. The
marriage took place, the ceremony being
performed by a Reading clergyman. The
young man is tall and finely formed, is a
German by birth and has been i'll this
country not quite a year. He has a good
education and wants to be a farmer. The
lady is proud of him, and does not seem
at all embarrassed when reference is made
as to how she secured him. He has made
a " ten-strike," and is now in a fair way
of becoming a rich man by and by

school fellows by an exhibition OF what he
announced as "a very fine collection of
chromos," charging therefor the very re-
markable price of a nickel. The spender
of that diminutive coin, on entering the
barn loft which served as the art gallery,
was shown a large variety of different
sized COS" done in a mixture of water
and chrome yellow, which the exhibitor
facetiously averred were chromos. The
desire of one patron of the exhibition to
see other boys sold has made the show
quite a success and so far preserved the
Snowman from a thrashing.-Chicago
Times.
CAREFULLY Gagged in the dimly-lighted
lower regions of the Central Park Museum
are two young. lion cubs. They are three
weeks old, a pair, lion and l~ioness, fine,
healthy little creatures, and in two weeks
more will be old enough to be shown to
the public. They are the progeny of the
pair of beasts known as Lincoln and
Jenny in the museum. But the mother
being, from confinement or some other
cause, unable to nurse them, they were at
once given to a large terrier whose pup
pies were taken away and who plays the
part of a toster-mother. She seems, in
deed, as fond of the cubs as if they were
her own offspring, and covers them with
caresses, though they are already half as
big as she is. 1t is a curious fact that
lions reared in captivity are not as gentle
as those captured and tanned. The par
ents of these cubs, which were caught
when wild and tanned, are very tractable,
while some of the other lions, which were
born and brought up here, arc sullen and
| ferocious.-Neu York Times.

(very carefully defined in these prescrip-
tions) seem to give color to this view.
Down to the conquest of Mexico by the
Spaniards, Helps tells us, the Aztecs used
yearly to Stay a young man in spring, that
the mobiles might eat his heart as a sort of
sacrament. Anyway, it is rather startling
to find that just 200 years ago, in London,
the Physician in Ordinary to the King
recommended c~annibalism to Englishmen
without the smallest apology or hesita.

them may frequently repair his farm
buildings quite as well as a carpenter.
Suppose that a roof is to be shingled-any
man of tact who is accustomed to the use
of a hammer and chalk-l line can do it. so
it is with clap boarding-a little care in
tapping and keeping the courses level, and
any farmer can do it, or frame a small
clubhouse, if he has suitable tools and has
had some practice. Every farmer knows
how very often something upon his prem
ises becomes "out of order;'' how fire.
ouently he has to go or send "to the vii
lare." from one to five or more miles dis
tant, to have some little thing done
that he could do in a few min
utes if he were properly prepared for it.
For instance, he commences haylng; the
weather is fine and he is anxious to cut
all the grass he possibly can on that day.
He works an hour or two, and a bolt in
the machine becomes loose, a nut having
come off, which is lost. He is not accus-
tom ed to swear much, but on this occa-
sion he uses pretty rough language, as the
machine must be idle the rest of the day,
in order to 90 to town and have a new nut
made.
Now, suppose that this man had pro-
vided extra nuts and bolts for his moving
machine, as every farmer ought to do
that is, those that are liable to break or get
loose and be lost-in such cases his deten.
ton would have been but a few minutes.
This provision of extra bolts and nuts,
extra plow-shares, hoe and hay-fork
handles, ETC., comes IN as a consequence
of forming the habit of keeping a good
supply of workshop tools and looking
ahead in regard to farm labors. Farmers
can often ON rainy days employ hired men
in their workshops in helping repair some
implement. 1t is very bad management
or a farmer TO have nothing for his farm
hands to do IN wet weather, and something
should be prepared for them on such oc-
c%asions. The good farmer will always
look ahead, and have something that his
help can do ~prottably when they cannot
work out of doors.-N. Y. World.
