@. George! What q Damsel.

She was young and fair, and tear
glistened in her eye as she laid her curly
head on his shoulder and exclaimed:
20, George I think if found you
did not love me I should die"
"My darling" he answered, passing
his hand gently around her dimpled chin,
81. will always love you. Do you think
I would marry you if I did not feel sure
of it. In few days at the altar / shall
VOW to love you all my life, and I will
keep my VOW"
A lovely kind of beatiGc happiness
played for a moment like sunshine on
her lips, and then she whispered:
30, George! like TO hear you talk
like that; you have been SO good to me.
You have given me a diamond locket,
and gold watch and chain, and rings
that an angel might wear outside her
gloves and not be ashamed, aud if I
thought that one day you'd be sorry you'd
given me all these nice things and want
them back again [ should break my
heart p'
He held her gently against his manly
breast, and answered with a quavcring
voice:
90, my own darling there is nothing
on earth that could happen that would
make me repent giving you few tokens
of my love, or make me want them back
again." 49,
She sprang from his arms like a Joyous
deer, she shook back her sunny curls, and
with a whole poem in her hazel eyes, ex-
claimed:
20, George! you have taken a load
from my heart. .Ive come to say that |
can't marry you after all, because I've
seen somebody l like better, and, |
thought you'd want your presents back

An American Dish.

An amusing story is told, of which it
is averrcd that no less a parsonage than
the late George Peabody, the celebrated
American banker, was the hero. Itap-
pears that Mr.. Peabody had invited three
Englishmen to meet two Americans at
dinner, and on this occasion, having re-
ceived as q gift ten ears of green corn,
determined to renew the recollections OF
his youth, astonish his English and please
his American guests by having it served
up in the well-known American style.
Accordingly, at q proper time, plates
of butter and salt were placed before
each guest, and the banker, with some
thing of an air of mystery, announced
that be was now about to treat his guests
to well-known and delicious American
dish of food, cooked in the American
manner. 1t would be no novelty to his
American guests, but the Englishmcn
must watch how it was disposed of by
them, and follow their example and man
ner in disposipg of it. Then, at signal,
entered stately servant bearing large
covered dish, which he deposited solemn
ly before Mr.. Peabody. In moment
more, in obedience to the bankers nod,
he whisked off the cover, and there, be-
fore the astonished guests, was displayed
a pile of ten boiled corncobs!
The banker gazed for an instant in
mute horror and dismay, and then found
voice to demand an explanation, which
was finally reached when the cook was
summoned-a fellow who had never be-
fore seen an ear of Indian corn in his
life. He replied that he had followed
his masters direction to "strip off all the
outside before boiling" which he had
done most faithfully, not only husks, as
was intended, but grains also, SO that the
banker had only what is, in America, the
mute evidence of the feast to indicate
what were his good intentions to his
rfc

Two Stories.

A Massachusetts gentleman, just re-
turned from over the Canadian border,
tells us these stories. He was in the ho-
tel general accommodation room when
two veterans of che hotel bar, laying
schemes for q drink, began to tell stories
to each other for his benefit:
"These are awful hard times," said one.
"I never saw such times before, except
when was in Ohio, an then was hard
put to it to git along. Nothin' to do. l
had a yoke of steers, but they, want
earnin' nothin'. But I lived right on the
road the Western immigrants went over
every day. So dug hole in that road
at the foot O. the aill, near my house,
turned livin' spring O. water into it,
and made good mud hole. Well, when
the immigrants came along, every day
there would be one or more teams git
stuck in my mud hole, an they would
see my steers standin' out doin' nothin',
an they would send up and git me to
come am help 'em out; an | alwuz got
as much as S. lit. Well, l KEEP that
mud hole right up in good repair till [

Story number two was the other Mum
chausen's companion-piece for the yoke
of steers:
"When I was 4 choppin'- Il could chop
some you know-au' folks used to ask me
how much / could do. in day. Have
you ever tried it?' says they. No, nev-
err says !, never, but once, an that want

Well, when I had it all piled up it meas
ured twenty-seven cords. An then l

How General jackson Made Him Pay.

The keeper of a certain boarding
house. when Andrew Jackson was Presi-
dent, waited or him, one day, and COM
planned that a Tennesseean, who had
been appointed by him TO clerkship in
one of the departments, would not pay a
board bill.
"Get his note" said old Hickory, "for
the full amount. interest included, paya-
BILE in sixty days, and bring it to me-"
"That will BE- of no use," replied the
clearinghouse keeper, "for he never
pays his notes.
"Do as I tell you, SIR" said Jackson,
as he turned away.
The next day the clearinghouse keep.
er reappeared at the White House, and
handed the note to the President. He
took it, read it, wrote "Andrew jackson"
across the back. in his well-known auto
graph, and handed it back, saying:
''Take that to the Bank of Metropolis,
and tell them from me that, at its matu-
rity, it will be paid by either the drawer
or the indorser. They will discount it
for you"
A few days afterward the man who had
given the note met his creditor, and
.tauntingly said s-~
"Well, I don't suppose you have been
able toinegotiase my paper?"
Yes" replied the boarding. house
keeper, 'I had no trouble in getting it
discounted at legal rates Of interest"
"Who in thunder is willing to discount
my notes?" asked the Tennesseean.
"The Bank OF the Metropolis discount
ed the one you gave me, upon the assu-
rance that if you did not pay it the in
dorser would"
"But who would indorse my note p
General Jackson. And he sent word
to the bank that if you did not pay the
note he would"
1t iss hardly necessary to add that the
note was promptly paid by the MAKER

LEGAL BIBLICAL IGNoRANCE.-Du-
ring the trial of the celebrated Leaven-
worth baby case, in which two women
claimed the same child, one of the law
yers, in the course of his remarks, pointed
to the painting Of Solomon ordering the
child to be severed in halves and divided
between the two women. His scriptural
knowledge being small, he alluded to
PLATE instead OF Solomon. The oppo-
sing counsel, surprising he knew all
about it, instantly jumped to his feet, and
called him fool, and said that the order
was by Caesar and not PLATE: After a
heated discussion they agreed to leave
it to the Judge. His Honor decided
that both the attorneys were talking upon
a subject foreign to their knowledge, and
pointing to the painting, said it was in
tended to represent Herod, and not Pilate
or Cesar. The lawyers considered the
matter settled, and proceeded with the
case.-Kansas Champion.

"Supper-bak Who can eat in such

to his throat, and loosened impatiently

"Light cigar, then, and join me in
my promenade. have one or two things
to say"
To this Egerton made no demur. The
cigar was lighted, and, as they walked
back and forth over the grassy slope,
Thurston said:
II see plainly that this life does not
suit you. Despite all your efforts, you
are restless and wretched; therefore, as |
proposed to come, let me propose to go.
There is nothing to detain us here. I
am ready to start tomorrow, to go any
where you like"
"You are very kind, Phil" replied
Egerton, after moments pause, "and
you have borne with my moods better
than I deserve; but, when you talk of
starting to 60 anywhere I like, you make
a mistake. There is noaohere like.
This place does not suit me, but do not
know any other which would suit me bet
ter. The fault is in myself, not in my
surroundings. But have felt for some
time past" he went on, "that am no fit
companion for any one in my present
condition. I decided this evening that,
instead Of troubling you any longer, I
will 60 laway'by myself. somewhere-I
don't care where-and see if cannot

Thurston, gravely, "but the question is

''I think so," g swered the other. ~
am past the st&.e of. blowing out my
brains-if that is what you mean. Give
me month, Phil, and by that time I
hope that I shall be able to bear myself
more like man."
AS he looked at his brother, the star
light was bright enough for Thurston to
see the reckless misery on the face that
usually concealed this pain, in meas
ure at least, under a mask. AT that
sight, something rose up in his throat,
and almost choked him. 1t was fully a
minute before he could control himself
sufficiently to speak as he desired.
"You must do exactly as you wish
without reference to me-" he said. ~

THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE
The American farm life on small to a
medium scale is now no doubt giving
more permanent comfort, ease and con-
tentment to its industrious votaries than
all the snowy occupations of the country,
including those of all the villages, towns
and cities. The agricultural interests of
the United States for profit and comfort
has a bright future unexcelled by any
portion of the globe.-Southerm Farmer.
