The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1877-09-21

Long Mr.. Gracey waited at the dance,
but neither Tom, Richard nor Anna
came. AT last, convinced something
was wrong, he mounted his horse and
rode back, meeting Thomas halfway
from Willis's with his news. Thomas
was for an instant puzzled, but the old
gentleman vowed nobody should 90 af-
ter her or bring her back; she had
made her own bed and she might lie on
il for all he cared, whether she found il
comfortable or not.
So home went the cid father, and
nursed his wrath until the next mora
ing, when note was brought from
Anna. begging Thomas's pardon for the
cavalier way in which she was obliged
to desert him the night before, saying
that Richard and herself were married,
and gone home To Father Landon's, and
were waiting to know il they might
come over and ask their parents for
giveness.
Now Mr.. Gracey did know when to
make the best of thing, and he adj
mired his daughter the more for the
will and spirit which equaled his own.
SO, after Tuning and fretting awhile,
he said
"Well, l give in. She's match for
me. Real Gracey pride that! Wife,
scare up your latest turkey, and I'll 90
and bring them home to dinner

Mr.. Gracey stood before the fire and
poked the glowing Goals vigorously.
When he was vexed he always did that
by way, suppose, Of satisfying his
desire to strike whoever he happened to
be vexed with. This time it was his
pretty daughter Anna who was making
her shining knitting-needles fly faster
than her father did the poker, while her
bright brown eyes gazed somewhat de-
family ut the form Of her father as he
stopped over the fire, and her pretty red
mouth was compressed with determin-
cd expression. Mr.. Gracey's head was
shocky and sandy now, but if one had
seen his portrait as a young man It
would have shown dark auburn which
lay in waves, like Annals own, and in
the face strong resemblance to hers.
She resembed him in his strong will,
too, and their opinions crashed oftener
than was quite agreeable to the gentle
mother, who wanted every thing to 60
on 50 smoothly.
This time II was Annals bcau-in-
deed, her accepted lover, who had once
had the fathers CONSERVATIVE was the
cause Of the trouble. There was dance
over at Westfield Corners, as 1t was
called, and Anna was determined 10 go
with her lover, Richard Landon, and
her father was determined she should 20
with city cousin who was visiting them,
in their own carriage. And II he could
have seen letter from Richard, which
was snugly hidden In Annals pocket, he
might have been more determined than
he was.
"Father. You never once objected 10
Richard till you had that dispute with
his father about the land" said Anna.
"Maybe not" replied Graccy,
Strengthening mp his tall figure; /" but
I've vowed since to have nothing 70 do
with the whole set Of Landons. Like
father, like son. Nobody knows how
Richards going to turn out. I've made
up my mind won't have him poking
round here any longer"
''But, father. we had your consent
once"
"Don't care If you did. take 1t back,
that's all. Now, there's your Cousin
Tom wants you As bad as Richard docs I;
why can't you take him, like a sensible
girl, and be satisfedgis
Father, nobody thinks much Of
Thomas Willy but you. don't believe

Many fruits and vegetables usually
chosen for pickles are now in the prop
err state for that purpose, though rather
late for some Of the best. 1t may be Of
service to some, however, to furnish a
few hints on this subject. We doubt If
pickles are the most healthfnl compound
that housekecpers can prepare; but as
they will be used it is well to makes
them as perfect and IS little injurious
as possible. Many pickles that look
the finest are very injurious and often
poisonous. All that are of . vivid green
are doubtful. In most cases they are
"greened" by being left to lie some lit
tie time in copper vessel covered with
vinegar, which naturally absorbs some
portion Of the copper. That, all will be
likely to know, is poisonous. When
left but a short time In snch vessels the
vinegar will not take up 50 much Of the
poison rs 70 be deadly, but it certainly
il injurious, though perhaps impercep-
tibly 50 TO every one. To some more del
icately organized even little Is fatally.
There Is no necessity that pickles
should be green. II j. mere fancy, a
matter Of taste, and Of late years il in a
great measure discarded; and almost all
pickles are made in porcelain or enamel
lined kettles. But with proper care q
good brass kettle Is perfectly safe, we
think, and much preferable TO the en-
amelcd or porcelain-lined kettles. These
kettles burn easily, and after any thing
has been burned in them few times the
lining cracks, flakes off, leaving spots Of
the iron or tin bare, and then any thing
delicate will be discolorcd by the iron.
OF late we have also seen il stated that
there II some reason to think II the en-
amcl Of these kettles is once cracked
they are almost as injurious as brass or
bell metal. Any acid that can find a
way under the glazing absorbs some in
furious property from the composition
with which porcelain or enamel Is made.
Of this we can not speak with certainty,
but we have always used a brass kettle
and never saw any injurious effects
from IL.
No one should ever use a kettle Of
