A Bashful Mans Courtship.

THE SUMMER of 1875 was an event
i full season for Mr.. Solomon Poddy,
for in the pleasant month of August of
that year Miss Tabitha Jones conceived
the idea that she would spend few
weeks in dull, quiet Tattleopolis. She
came, and, like Caesar, he saw, and she
conquered; and on her return to New
York carried with her in one of the
numberless valises, bags, and bundles
which inflamed the ire of baggage
masters and hackmen, the heretofore
unappropriated heart of Solomon Poddy.
Mr.. Poddy was very bashful man;
so much SO that he might safely be ex-
hibited as prodigy of bashfulness, and
challenge the world to produce his
equal.
With the reputation for wealth which
Solomon Poddy has acquired, he was
free to pick from all the buxom farmers
daughters round whom he would for
wife.
Many were the evenings he spent in
his room and ruminated on the subject
of getting married. He went so far at
this time as to venture to spend the
winter evenings at the houses of the
hospitable farmers in the neighborhood,
selecting those who were blessed with
prepossessing daughters of marriage
able age. AT Farmer Smiths he spent
four evenings discussing the subject of
winter fodder, much to the amusement
of Miss Matilda Smith, in whose eyes
he sought to find favor. And when
the old man began to doze, and then,
with the observation (for he perfectly
well knew the purport of Solomon's
errand), "Well, Mr.. Poddy, L calker-
late I'll go to bed, as I've got to be up
bright and early in the mornin'; L
guess you and Matildy can keep each
other company for the rest of the even
in'," and taking his candle, stumbled
up ito bed, whittier Matilda's mother had
preceded him, Solomon would have
given half his fortune to have had the
power of saying what he wanted to say
to Matilda. But, alasl he could only
stammer something about the weather
and the prospects Of the snow storm,
and after an awkward pause, in which
Matilda looked down and formed her
lips to yes, take his hat and say be
must really go, 1t was late. Halfway
home he cursed his own foolishness, and
picking up courage, went back with the

Select Poetry.
THE HERO.


The eannons were all silent, the bugle ceased
= to sound
And many valiant warrior lay lifeess on the
ground,
For night had forced an armstice upon the eager
foes,
And all around was quetness, save where the cry
arose .....
From wounded and from dying. or when the war
horse neighed,
For man and beast alike had felt the keenness of
the blade.
And now a lonely maiden in searching DER the
plain,
For she would lind her lover, TO kiss II he be
slain;
To tend his wounds if wounded, to battle his
aching head;
And still she weeps for much she fears he's num-
bered with the dead.
For hours she wanders slowly and looks at every
face,
Till, weary, sad, and foot-sore she leaves the hor-
rid place.
But where on, where's her hero? For his coun-
try has he died?
And was he foremost in the hght-the bravest on
his side
She walked till nearly daybreak, IN sad and
pensive mood
When suddenly the lost one before the maiden
stood,
JOY Joy he had not persisted Ere was the
fight begun.
The owner of that gallant form had turned
about and run

her mother started directly for the home Of tie

yond measure to learn from her that the poor
creature had been so overcome by distress OF

in combination with the greatest kindness and
attention that could possibly be bestowed on
her and ere many weeks had passed she was
perfectly restored to health The young lady's
marriage took place, aud in her new home a
comfortable situation was found for the girl,
whose happiness was still further increased by
the appointment Of her mother as gatekecper

every one concerned but it might have been

ingly cautious how they make an accusation
which they have no means Of proving, lest
they bring lifelong misery upon the accused,
and perhaps repentance when too late, upon
themselves. - Chambers Journal.

Cheap Girls.

A girl who makes herself too cheap is one
t. be avoided. No young man, not even tho
worst, except for base purpose, wants any
thing to do with a cheap young lady. For a
wife. none bit fool or a rascal will approach
such a woman. Cheap jewelry nobody viii
touch if he can get any better. Cheap girls
are nothing but a refuse, aud the young men
know it. and they will look in every direction
FIR a life long friend and companion before
they will give glance at the pinchbcck stuff
that tinkles at every turn for fascinating tho
eve of any that will look. You think it Is
quite the Correct thing" TO talk loudly and
coarsely, be boistcrous aud hoydenish in all
public places, to make yourself so bold
and forward and commonplace, every
where, that people wonder if you ever lad a
mother. or a home or anything 10 do So be
it, You will probably be taken for what You
are worth, and one Of these years, il you do
not make worse than q shipwreck of yourself,
you will wonder where the charms are that
once YOU thought yourself possessed Of, and
what evil spirit could have so beloolcd you
Go on, but remember, cheap girls attract no
BODY but fools aud rascals -WNRan'S Mag

Use Of Raw Hide.

The skin Of an animal, whether COW, calf,
colt or horse, that dies on the farm is worth
more at home than at the tanners. Cut into
narrow stripes, and shave of the hair with a
sharp knife before the kitchen fire, or in your
workshop on stormy days and evenings. You
make them soft by rubbing. 4 raw-hile hall
ter strap an inch wide will hold horse better
and last longer than inch rope. II is stronger
than hoop-iron, and more durable, and may be
used to hoop dry casks and boxes, and for
hinges. Try it on broken thill, or any
woodwork that has been split. Pot il on wet,
and nail il fast. Thin skins make the best
bag-string 10 the world. \ raw-hidc rope is
good substitute for a chain. 1t is valuable
TO mend a broken link in trace-cLain. For
some purposes it is best to use it in its natural
state. For other purposes it may be dressed
soft.
