To Whom She Says No.

A woman never quite forgets the man
who once truly loved her. She may net
have loved him; she may indeed have
given him mo" instead Of the Eyes hs

desired "yes" always softens hss
thoughts Of him, and would make him.
we're he reminded of it, q friend forever.
There may be girls who make jest Of
discardiug suitors, bat they are generally
very young and the wooing has been
something that did not bctoksn much
depth of tenderness. Really to have
touched mans heart is something never
to be forgotten. Always she we'll re-
members how bis eyes looked into hers
as he touched her hand with his, and how
her heart achsd when she forced him "
turn way without the affirmative shs
could not give him. s,sAa
She loves some one else. Some other
man has all the truth Of her soul; but
she cannot forget the one. who leoring
bis affections at her feet, turned from her
and went his way to come no more. S.e
is glad when she hears Of his success;
grieyed when she knows he has suffered
and when some day che hears that he has
married-she who has herself been mar
ried for long years, perhaps-who at AL
events would never have married him
is she glad then? do not know. A
woman's heart isa very strange thing. Il
do not believe she knows herself. Gladp
Oh! yes, and his wife, pretty and nice
And then as memory of bygoue yean

Better Take a Sheep Too"

A valued friend and able farmer, about
tie time the Temperance reform was be-
ginning to exert bealtbful influence,
said to bis uewly-hired man:
jonathan, | did not think to mention
to you, when | hired you. that l shall
try and have my work done this year
without rum. How much must | give
you to do Without"
"O," said Jonathan. II don't care
much about it; you may give me what
you please"
well" said the farmer, II will give
you sheep in the fall, if you do without
rum"
Agreed
''Father, will you give me sheep, too
if | will do without rum?' then asked
the elder son.
"Ye:, you shall have sheep, if you do
without"
The youngest son then said:
Father, will you give me sheep, if
| will do without"
"Yes, Chandler, you shall have sheep
also
Presently Chandler speaks again:
"Fatber, hadn't you better take .
sheep, too?'
The farmer shook his head; he hardly
thought that he could give up the "critter'
yet, but the appeal came from source
not easily to be disregarded; and the
result was. the demon rum was thence
forth banished from the premises, to the
great joy and ultimate happiness of all
concerned.

W hc Ran Marsh Away.

When Marsh, the principal witness
against Belknap, fed to Canada, Mr.. Cly>
mer and his friends said that he had beeh
driven away by the threats Of the Presi
dent, made in Cabinet meeting, that he
should be punished. But Marsh lef:
Washington in haste, on Thursday noon,
and Mr. Clymer was in such hurry to
have him go, that he agreed to send bis
(MsrslS) fees after him, in order that he
should not be detained. That is to say,
Marsh ran away because the President,
next day was to express desire to have
him punished. Driven from Washington
by this "feariul looking for of Judgment"
Mr.. Marsh might have tarried in New
York, but he had brief interview with
bis lawyer aud with his wife, rud kept on
to Canada. Therefore, the threat of the
President, made while he was in this CITY
could not have feared him away. Driven
from this ground, the Democrats now say
tina: he fed because the Republican pa.
pers' houaped" him down.
The Wcrld..solemnly says that ION Sat-
urday morning thc Republican papers,
the New Xork Timas included, thirsted
for this witness pnhishment.' Bat, on
Saturday mornite, while the Times is
quite gratuitously assumed to have been
calling for Marfh's punishment, that disr
Greet person was already safely across the
border. The question is, therefore, did
the President. on Friday drive Marsh
away from Washington? lie left on
Thurday. Or did the Times, on Satur'
day, drive him away from New York
lie left on Friday. Gong back to the
begingnniug, then, We see that Marsh
was hurried away by Clymer, who was so
anxious to have the man 60 that Offered
TO send after him-tbis rich trader and
capiltaist paltry witness fees.-New

I'll Take What Father Takes

Wat will you take to drink" asked
a waiter Of a young lad who for the FIRST
time accompanied his father to public
dinner. Uncertain what to say, and fee,
ling sure that he could not be wrong if he
followed his fathers example, he replied,
"I'll take what father takes"
The answer reached his fathers ear,
and instantly the full responsibility Of bis
position flashed upon him. And the
father shuddered as the history of several
young men, once promising as his OWN
bright lad, and ruined by drink, started
up in solemn warning before him. Should
his hopes be blasted, and that opsn.iaced
lad become burden? But for strong
drink they would have been active, ear.
nest, prosperous men ;and if it could work
such ruin upon them, was his own son
safe? Quicker than Lightning these
thoughts passed through his mind, and in
a moment the decision was made. III be
falls he will not have me to blame = and
then in tones tremulous with emotion and
to the astonisment Of those who knew hiu
he said, Waiter, I'll take water;' and
from that day to this, strong drink ha.
been bsnished from that mans home.

Marriage.

Girls talk and laugh about marriage
as though it was a jubilee, a gladstone
thing, rose without thorn. And 50 it
is if it. is all right-if they 60 about it as
rational beings instead of merry>makiDg
children. 1t Is serious thing to marry.
1t is life business. Therefore, never
do 1t in haste; never run away to get
married, never marry for wealth or st and.
ing, or fine person, or manners, but for
character, for werth, for the qualities Of
mind and heart which mako an honorable
man. Take time; think long and we'll
before you accept any proposal; consult
your parents, then some judicious friend
then your own judgment. Learn all that
is possible for you to learn of your pro,
posed husband. When all doubts have
been removed, and not till then, accept
him.

Facts About Clover.
OLD BACHELOR.

Cloyer>seed bids fair to be very scarce
the coming spring; at all event, ithas
smddenly gone up iu price, aud farmers
who have it to buy find that they have to
pay two or three dollars per bushel more
tnan they expected. C:over.seed has
been too low several years, and the ads
vance is healthy indication. We hope
it will not lessen the quantity s,wn psr
acre. 1t is better to get good seeding
wherever you attempt to seed. and il the
price Of clover goes up too high, leave
some without seeding: plow the stubble
and SOW with wheat in the fall. In some
cases-as where the land is very rich--it
will pay to grew wheat. after wheat. -
While cloverseod is SC dear, it will not
pay to try to seed after oats. There was
generally apoor "illing" Of clover heads
last fall, and owing to the low prices for
two or three years, m,ny farmers did NOT
try to save seed. We hope they will 10,
their clover grow the coming year, and
save good crop Of seed. II will pay ia
the improvement Of the soil il not in seed
sold.
