An Arkansas Romance.
ATTEMPTED FLoPEMENT OF A WHITE GIRL
WITH AN INDIAN.

Win a - A-NDA-1-'-
Little Rock Gazette
Mr. H. L. Riley, just arrived from
Scott county, tells Of rather romantic
and not altogether 'unturbulent' love
affair that has just occurred there:
About twenty miles from Waldron
there lives an old man named Wayne.
Aside from hale old-style wife, there
belongs to the family a beautiful girl
named Lulu. A few months ago, while
the old man and lady were away from
home, a young Indian named Wambo
called at the house and asked for
drink of water. Lulu invited him into
the house, where he remained in con-
versatiOn for some time after he had
received the aqueous fluid. The Indian
had been well educated, and his hand
some face and manly form Immediately
awakened within Lulu's bosom a senti-
mental interest, while Wambo was
pierced, as though by an arrow of his
ancient feathers, with a thrill of love.
He pressed the maiden's hand when he
left, and said that he would return.
True to his promise, he returned on the
following Sunday The old lady and
gentleman had gone to church An
other conversation ensued, and when
the young Indian left he pressed the
maiden's hand with even more ardor
than had characterized his first visit.
This time he did not leave without re-
marking that he would return. A
week elapsed before the girl saw him
again This time the old people were
at home, and though the girl had not
l. r ,~arropl To ho
Indian, a suspicion was Immediately
awakened However, the Indian and
girl spoke to each other sentimentally;
so much so that an engagement of mar
riage was the result, the young Indian
promising to come after the girl on the
following night The girl knew that
her father would be bitterly opposed to
the union, and warned her lover
Next night, while the moon was shining,
while the foliage was waving, the feet
of the Indian brushed the dew from the
grass. On his shoulder he bore a light
ladder. Placing the ladder on the
ground, he assembled to window and
peered into a room. In another instant
he was tumbling to the ground. The
old gentleman had discovered the plot,
and arming himself with a club, stood
at the window. The Indian was not
very badly hurt, and he had not more
than gained his feet when the girl
rushed from a downstairs room and
| Joined him. Then the two began a
flight through the woods, among the
bushes, over the rocks. Afraid to
shoot, the old man ran as rapidly as his
long-used legs would allow him. In at
tempting to climb ledge Of rocks the
young lady's dress was caught and held
her fast In trembling haste her lover
tried to disengage her, but the old gem
tleman was upon them.
''If you love me, leave, y said the girl.
The Indian dashed away, and in an
other moment the girls father stood by
her. She is still there, but the young
Indian, by no means slow, may make
an outbreak at any momeut.

WHATEVER may be thought or said
of Robert G. Ingersoll's religious here
sizes, the following tribute to women
shows that the man is far from being as
ugly as he is painted 81 tell you
woman are more prudent than men. l
tell you, as a rule, women are more
faithful than men-ten times astaithful
as men. never saw man pursue his
wife into the very ditch and dust OF
degradation and take her in his arms.
l never saw man stand at the shore
where she had been morally wrecked i,
waiting for the waves to bring back
even her corpse to his arms 4; but have
seen woman with her white arms lift
man from the mire of degradation, and
hold him to her bosom as though he
were an angel.

came boldly before said Justice on Saturday

WHICH wAYf

Children, stop your play,
And tell me which way
shall take to reach the city the hill.
First the girl
With a smile
This way;
Through the woods, across the stile,
By a brook where wild flowers grow,
Where the birds sing sweet and low;
Then you forget lit So far,
For the calm rests you, makes you still,
Ii you take this way TO the city on the hill,
Then the boy,
With frown;
This way;
BY the mills ard through the town
You Il see the soldiers there.
Hear the drums and pass the fair;
Then you forget the way is long
While you walk in the throng
For the noise wakes you, makes You thrill
When you g this way to the city on the hill.

The donkey is pretty bird,
So gentle and so wise;
1t has a silky little tail
With which to frisk the flies.
Upon its head two ears it bears,
SO silky, long and soft,
That when its tail can't reach the flies,
The ears can whisk them off.

What The Microscope Reveals.

Iewinhock tells of an insect seen with a
microscope, of which q, 600, 600 wouid only
equal mite. Insects of various kinds may
be seen in the cavities of grain of sand.
Mold is a forest of beautiful trees, with
branches, leaves and fruit. Butter
flies are fully feathered. Hairs are hollow
tubes. The surface of our bodies is covered
with scales like a fish; a single grain Of
sand would cover $50 of these scales, and
vet each scale would cover 800 pores.
Through the narrow openings the perspira-
ton forces itself like water througe sieve.
The mites take 500 steps 4 second. Each
drop of stagnant water contains world o.
animated beings, swimming with as much
liberty as whales in the sea. Each leaf has
a colony of insects grazing on it like cows in
a meadow.

And thou art in the stream

In all thy aching sight.
Rest? Chafe no more in vain;
On, lest thy peers go by;
Thou wouldst not if thou couldst
Evade thy destiny.

To know that toll expands
