The copious rains Of the past week al
ternated with warm, genial sunshine, has
greatly inyigorated vegetation, and fall
feed which three weeks ago was regarded
as killed out beyond redemption is now
booming with health and freshness.
The recent wet weather has also been of
incalculable benefit to fall wheat which
now covers the ground and looks strong,
vigorous and promising. It is safe to as
sumo that the acreage Of fall wheat in
this section this season is ten times great
er than in any previous wear.

DARK OR LIGHT BLUEe

Her brothers were both down at Oxford,
At Cambridge her lover had been; Ase
With him she's to go to the boat race
The first one that e'er she had seen.
Her brothers wrote "Put on our COLOR"
Her heart wanted Cambridge to win;
And her lover stood laughing softly
At the puzzle her mind was in.
Snow what shall do pray?" she asked him
81 long to wear Cam bridge for you,
But the boys will never forgive me
If don not the Oxford blue"
sThen wear it, my darling-be happy;
The boys will be pleased, and too;
Though your dress be the Oxford color,

unsuitable engagement; but Miss May had
always had reputation for doing unex-
pected things, Sd at last the wondering set
tied down into acquiescence.
By the morning of the wedding day both
Jem and Tomwere beginning 20 recognizes
the serious aspect of the drama to be en-
acted, and were not q little nervous on
entering tn Q church. In their terpidation
they nearly forgot to provide themselves
with white gloves If there had not come a
timely reminder from May. The service
commenced-went on without interruption
to the place where the decisive question was
put. Jem and Tom listened in the utmost
excitement to the professors response; and
then the question came to May, Wilt thou
have this man to be thy welded husband"'
Jem was just rising from his seat in antici-
patton of the impending scene, when her
anwer came, in low, clear voice that could
be heard distinctly in all parts of the church:
Eyes" sarr r.
The two boys were horror struck. Was it
possible she knew what she was doing? Was
she overpowered with fright?
Whether she was or not they certainly
were; for in spite of frantic impulse to cry
out end proclaim the mistake, the decorum
of the place kept them still till the ceremony
was over Then they rushed to her side,
needless of order or conventionalities.
May! May" whispered Tom, catching
her hand in his excitement ''are you crazy?
Do you that know you are married to him?'
The color in her face deepened as in a late
sunset sky.
Yes, know it." she answered, quietly,
laying her other hand upon her husbands
arm; and then lifting her beautiful flushed
face to her brother land love him."
Perhaps two more discounted young men
never stole out of church than were Jem and
Tom as they slipped away unnoticed among
the crowd of people. The former, indeed,
was savage, and declared he would never
forgive her.
But Tom, when he saw his sisters face
leaning out of the carriage for the last time
before they drove away, wss moved to kiss
her in grim, incorporating sort of way
and seeing the penitent tears gathering in
her brown eyes, to mutter to himself: st
was our fault, after all. We acted as If we
wers sure she hadn't got any heart, and no
wonder she was ashamed to show it."
As for Jem, he finally retracted his he

faintest chance of its realization. Mildred,
my noble, beautiful Mildred would I give
up the fond dream Of one day calling you

And then he sighed-such a sigh as Shaks-
peare describes as emanating from forlorn
lovers though, indeed, that was not role
which it was his wont to eli. Perhaps his
reflections on this particular subject had ta-
ken goomier turn than usual, which was
not to be wondered at, under the circum-
stances. Presently, light footstep approach
ed his door, and merry voice startled him.
Frank! are you in here? What in the
world are you shutting yourself in your own
room for, at this hour of the day? Have
you forgotten our intended rider"
Frank jumped up,not displeased at his rev.
erie being thus broken into. ''1'm coming,
Lena" he cheerfully responded. II had for
gotten what time it was, but had no inten-
tien of missing the, ride. Tell James to have

might be unwell All through the day she
was quiet and thoughtful. Her brain was busy
with variety of ingenious but impossible
plans for bringing matters round" in favor
of her brother, whom her afectionate heart
longed to aid in the attainment of his hopes.
She wished she knew the exact nature Of the
money.dificulties to which he had alluded /;
but as she did not, she could only form a
vague idea of their extent, and of the pro-
portionate exertion which it would require to
remove them.
As to Frank, though he tried to shake off
his trouble, he felt that he was in very try
ing situation, indeed. His greatest trial
seemed to be the uncertainty about Mildred.
If he had only been positive that she cared
for him, the rest would have been easy to bear.
Sometimes he almost resolved to write to her
in spite of everything, and ask her boldly, if
she would consent to engage herself to him,
though his prospects were not as bright as
they had once been. Then it seemed to him
as if he ought to wait, until be had made eve
ry effort in his power, to lift the burden from
his fathers shoulders and bis own. Since the
little disagreement between Sir Francis and
himself, which had left a sort of tacit cool
ness, expressive Of an evident sense Of injury
in the former, he felt doubly desirous to do
all that he could, to show his filial affection
and anxiety to do his duty, in every possible
way. Sir Francis still clung to his scheme.
But Frank felt that the estate must 60, rather
than he should give up Mildred. If Mildred
had been out of the question, altogether, it is
possible that he might have looked upon EN-.
lily Houghton with more kindly eye.

FRENCH GALLANrRY.-The French, says
Paris correspondent, abuse horses with
more inhumanity than Southern negro
treats mule. They will take off their hats
to you with grace that has never been i'm
ported to our shores, and pass the compli-
ments of the day in language and style
that is the very poetry of polite intercourse /;
but they will allow woman to faint before
they will offer her seat in the car, or in the
slig htest degree incommode themselves. As
an instance of their want Of gallantry, l saw a
lady drop her parasol from cab while
driving on the Boulevard, between the Mad.
elaine and the Champs Elysee. The Boule-
ward was crowded and muddy from recent
rains. Not Frenchman pretended to pick
it up for her; she did not seem to expect it.
She might have held the reins of the two
quiet horses while the driver would recover
the parasol, but she was Frenchwoman, and
knew that the driver was not paid for that.

equal to the emergency and the civilization

A CASE OF BuLLDoz1Na.-sendf for the

York and New Jersey lives man. This
man is Republican. He married wife
too good for him. She was the daughter of
good old Bergen county Democrat. The
wife vowed that the husband should never
vote until he voted the Democratic ticket,
and to keep him from voting she made him
move every year, first to one side of the State
line aud then to the other, 80 that he never
was long enough in either State, when elec,

For six years they have been married, and in
that time they have moved over the line six
times, so that the man has not had chance
to vote. His wife says she will never let him
vote until he agrees to vote the Democratic
ticket, and she has sufficient influence over
him to make him move just when she says
