A Disappointed Younu Man.

THERE are innumerable ways of sat-
i isfying disappointed love, but
young farmer of Ellenville, N. Y,
adopted course which, at least, has the
virtue of originality. The story Is relat-
ed at length by the Kingston IN. "
Freeman, and the parties interested In
II reside In that romantic and plctur-
esque region known as the Drowned
Lands, near Ellenvllle. John Nicholas
was young farmer, possessing most of
the comforts and not few Of the luxu-
ries of this life, among the latter being
the finest team of horses to be found In
that part of the country. George Blu
menaer, another well-tosdo farmer, is
interesting here only as the father Of
two handsome daughters, who were
agreeable, intelligent, naturally the bellies
of the place, and much sought for by
the young men as the rarest specimens
for wives to be found anywhere. Ladies
love horses, and so IL was the most
natural thing that the young farmer
should invite them to ride behind his
gallant team, which they did several
times, enjoying such rides as only girls
of youth and beauty can enjoy them.
But troublesome obstacles broke up the
smooth current of the stream that SEEM
ed to be running straight on to court
ship and marriage. Even the town
gossips were at loss for any reason to
assign for the falling out, but few
weeks ago young Farmer Nicholas sued
old Farmer Blumenaer before a Justice
of the Peace for small amount of
money, due for services in taking de-
fendant's handsome daughters out riding.
Incredible as 1t may seem, the case was
taken up by able counsel, and argued by
them with a persistency, vigor of ex-
preston and eloquence known to the
Ellenville Bar. The case was finally
decided by Justice Wells, who dismissed
the case, thereby establishing q legal
precedent, which boys and girls should
always remember, that taking girls out
riding Is not that class of service for
which u recovery can be had, as the
monopoly of the society of the fair one
for the time is considered full and ample
payment.

A Lesson for Joseph Cook.

JOSEPH COOK is always cross and
u discorteous. Once he called on the
President. &C. am pleased to see you,
SIR" said the President kindly.
"Be silent, sir " snapped Joseph "I
am inspecting this picture, and cannot
appreciate its beauties If 1 am continually
interrupted. 1t is likewise related that
he once asked certain lady to be his
wife, and Immediately relapsed into a
profound study of something. The lady
softly said Eyes" and, as he didn't
respond, she repeated the word little
louder.
"Stop your noise" " roared Joseph !;

end that will knock the spots out of
John Mill, and here you're trying to
spoil it," But things are not always
pleasant for Joseph when he gets into
these tantrums. Journeying along a
country road one day, he stopped at a
farmhouse and called for glass of
milk
Certainly, sir" said the lady of the
house, with smile. 1--WE are Away s
pleased -
Not another word, madam" inter
rupted Joseph, flushing with anger.
+" Bring the milk The lady looked
at him moment, and then boxed his
ears and cheeks so that the prints of her
fingers were left on his fair skin.
tGood gracious exclaimed Joseph,
recovering little from his involuntary
study of Jewish history, 'that's the
meanest act ever perpetrated by mortal
woman"

lady. g have merely punished imper-

Cured of Drinking.

81 young friend of mine was cured
of an Unsuitable thirst for Liquor, which
had so prostrated him that he was una
BILE to do any business. He was entirely
cured by the use of Hop Bitters. 1t
allayed all that burning thirst; took
away the appetite for liquor; made his
nerves steady, and he has remained a
sober and steady man for more than two
years, and has no desire to return to his
cups: know of number of others
that have been cured of drinking by it. +"

ACROSS THE CONTINENT

GA Summer JaUnt through the

The above is the title Of an interesting booB
on foreign travels, just being published by Mr.
L. L, HOLDEN, one of the editors of the Boston
journal, who accompanied DIR. ToURJEE's
grand Musical and Educational party Of tour
lists through the Old World during the Summers
Of 1873 and 1879, The undersigned was q mem
ber of the party Of 1879, and will vouch for Mr..
Holden as having done his work well, produc-
ing spirited and highly entertaining book of
travel, which may be read with both profit and
pleasure. 1t is volume of over $50 pages, illus
trated with 88 engravings of noted places, neatly
printed and bound, and is altogether an attrac-
tive work. 1t applies to both the tours of 1873
and 1879, an the countries visited were ireland,
Scotland England, Belgium, Holland, Ger
many Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and France
1t possesses many advantages over mere hand
book, in giving experiences Of varied charac-
ter which are liable to occur to the tourist, and
is Of more practical benefit than the ordinary
book Of travel, as it contains the statistical in
formation which more properly belongs to the
guide-boOk.
The price of the book is $3.50; those who wish
it, by leaving their name and address with me
Or at the FAYETTE COUNTY HERALD office will
get it as soon as the work is published, which
will not be long, DR.. Tourjee informs me. AS
the number is limited, would advise you to
