UNCERTAIN CUPID.
A Father and His Two Sens Cast Sleeps
Eyes at Mother and Her Two Daugh-
ters-A Muddled State OF Affairs.

Mr.. L. Holcomb, q gentleman of
Kentucky. but who mas been in Critten-
den county, in this State, tells us of q
rather remarkable, though hardly I'M
precedented, matrimonial affair which
occurred in that county recently. Out
from the line of the railroad and aside
almost from any other very we'll defined
marks Of civilzation-marks SO illdelinat-
ed, In fact, that they are as a halfworn
date on an ancient cOin-there lived old
man Rosebury and two sons, twins. The
age OF the old man is rather doubtful,
but it is believed by his near neighbors,
the nearest of whom are within stones
throw, that is if the stone be thrown
mile and a half, that he is about fifty.
The sons being twins, are about the same
age, twenty-seven. The nearest human
habltatlon was a house occupied by
Mrs. Glenn and two daughters, though,
pity to say, the daughters were not twins
at the time of their birth and have not
yet succeeded in attaining that point.
Mr. Rosebury fell deeply in love with
Mrs. Glenn, and the two sons, Robert
and John, fell equally as much so with
the two daughters, Mary and Rachel.
The most imaginable Wholesale love-
making ensued. The old man and wild
ow seemed devoted to each other, and
the younger people were sufficiently so
to marry, which they all did on the same
day. After the ceremony the six hap
Ply souls and the SIX happy bodies re-
paired to the residence of the husbands.
Everything went smoothly. The old
man was very kind to his newly made
daughters. particularly SO to Rachel, the
wife of his son John, The kindness in
creased, and the other matrimonialists
marveled one to another. The old man
even disregarded the wishes of his wife,
and Rachel snuffed her Grecian nose at
her Roman-nosed husband. One morn
ing about two weeks after the marriage.
the family Ofseveral divisions discovered
that the old man and Rachel had gone.
Searching and not being able to find
them, but learning that they had cross
ed the river into Tennessee, the family
returned. Pretty soon an intimacy
sprang up between Robert, Mary's hus-
band, and the old lady. The old lady
was SO wise and had such broad exper-
fence, that Robert never grew tired Of
profting by ner counsel. Another dis
aster. Robert and the old woman ran
away, leaving John and Mary, who, see
ing as they were not blind, that they
were left alone, clasped themselves in a
loving embrace, for ii seems that they
had loved each other from the first. Did
they stay on the farm? No, sir. There
is mortgage on it. They up, and &C
cordipg to the ferryman, went over into
Tennessee.-LiAle Rock Gazette.

Sheep Better Than Cattle.

There are two sides to all disputed
questions, and both must be examined
If we would ascertain the truth. AS to
which are most proftable-sheep or
cattle-location, soil, and other consid-
erations must be taken into account in
determining. A. Hyde gives some of
the advantages the shepherd possesses
over the herdsman. as follows:
In the first place stock of sheep
costs less than one of cattle. A farm
which will carry twenty COWS,
will carry about eight times as
many sheep, and to stock farm with
twenty COWS and corresponding fixtures
will require an outlay of q thousand
dollars. An equivalent number of
sheep (say one hundred and fifty) can
be purchased for about half this sum-
Again, q flock of sheep demands much
less care than q herd of COWS. The
latter must be MIXED daily and the
work of the dairymaid in making but
ter and cheese is constant and labori-
Gus, demanding also skill of high
order to make it eminentlv successful.
Then sheep will live and thrive where
COWS would starve, or at least make
poor returns. These nimble animals
will climb over rocks and lodges where
COWS would not venture, and almost
every herb that grows, even down to
Canada thistlcs suffices them for food.
Pastures are greatly benefited by being
cropped by sheep. They not ouly keep
down the weeds, but have more fertil-
izing material in their droppings than
do COWS. In the milk of the latter,
much phosphate of lime and other sa-
line, as well as nitrogenous matter, is
removed, but sheep carry off only what
is on their backs. A flock Of sheep also
multiplies much more rapidly than a
herd Of COWS, and this is specially true
of the large mutton breeds. which often
produce twins. Not to be too particu-
lar in the enumeration of the advan-
tages Of the tiockmaster over the herds
man, | will only add that sheep fatten
much more easily than cattle, and
when slaughtered they furnish not only
meat but wool, the latter an article that
not only keeps indefinitely, but pays for
long transportation.

Friday a Lucky Day For America.

Friday is regarded by the vulgar as
the unlucky day, whereas-tor Ameri-
ca. at least-it has proven itself to be
the most fortunate of the seven. 1t
was on Friday, the Sd day of August,
1892, that Columbus sailed from the
port of Palos for the new world. 1t was
on Friday, the 18th of October, 1892,
that he first saw the land, after sixty
days of navigation. 1t was on Friday,
the 4th day of January, 1893, that he
started on his return to Spain to an
nounce to the Catholic maiesties the
glorious resultrof his expedition, and on
Friday, the 10Th Of March 1893, that he
disembarked in Andalusia. It was on
Friday, the 18th Of June, 1894, that he
discovered the American continent.
On Friday, March 5th, 1897, Henry VII
Of England gave John CABOT his dis
patch for the voyage which resulted in
the discovery of the continent Of North
America. On Friday, September 9th,
1866, Mem founded st. Augustine, the
oldest town in the United States. On
Friday, November 10th, 1920, the
Mavfower first disembarked few en-
igrants on American soil at Province
town, and On Friday, December 22nd,
1920, her passengers finally. landed at
Plymouth Rock. It was on Friday,
the END day of February, 1892, that
George Washington was born. It was
on Friday, June 10th, 1775, that the
battle Of Bunker Hill was fought, and
on Friday, October, 9TH, 1775, that the
surrender of Saratoga took place, which
event decided France to give her aid to
the Americans. The treason of Arnold
was discovered on Friday. Yorktown
surrendered on Friday, and on Friday,

and imprinted three kisses on her lovely

A few seconds [ left it so, then lifted
it up, confident Of the result; and was
not disappointed. The blank slip OF
paper was suddenly transformed into a
promissory note; every word, letter and
figure as clear as sunshine.
1t was a note of six thousand dollars,
with a years interest, drawn in favor OF
William Campbell, and the signature
Of Alexander Bronton was at the bot
tom of it.
The Judge gazed in amazeAnent from
the note toward Alexander Bronton
just in time to discover that that tricky
gentleman was skulking away toward
the door. At the Judges order he was
brought back by an officer and inform
ed that be would have something more
to answer for than the amount Of the
loan, with interest and costs.
And so he had. Abashed and terri
fed at the discovery of his unsuccessful
swindle, and in hopes of propitiating

amount due Mr.. Campbell, and paid
the costs. In view Of his confession he
