1t may have been a day or two be-
fore the the cermony that Bob was
rowing about the orchard, when Ruth
came to him and laid her arm shyly
on lis arm.
What is it, DEAR he said gently,
for the girls cheek was flushing and
her eyes did not meet his own.
There is something Ruth whis-
pered, something, Bob, that ought to
be said. You are different now, dear
from what you were when we liked
each other first. Something greater
and higher, know well. While I,
she went on sadly, am Just the same

farm I cannot talk to you and hope
and feel with you as others do.
Dear Ruth ! he said, and his eyes
were wet wiki generous tears, what
could put that nonsense in your head?
You can make me happy, dearest.-
None knows you but is happier and
better.
Thank you for saying that she
said simply, and looked up once into
his face; you have loyal heart, dear

be worther of you than I said, and

Were you waiting for the bride ?

A screen stood in the corner Of the
room, and she novel toward it, hold

The report published by the state depart
ment on the prices Of labor and living In
Europe shows the curious fact that while, as
matter OF course flour costs much less In this
country than In any of the European countries,
its chief product, bread, is sold considerably
cheaper by the pound in several continental
cities than 1t Is In New York, or even In Chi
cago, which latter city may be said to be liter
ally surrounded by wheat fields. 1t Is likely
that the quality Of the bread generally con-
sumed In this country Is made from higher
grade Of -four than that which is ordinarily sold
In Europe; but that does not hold true In all
cases; and II it did, the difference between the
cost of flour per pound and the price OF the
bread made from it Is yet so much greater here
than there as 10 leave on the mind the impress
sion that as compared with the gains which
content his European brother the profits OF the
American baker are simply enormous,-espe-
cially when the slight risks of the business and
Its entire freedom from loss by change 1n styles,
remnants. etc , are taken into account.

The Cincinnati Gazette paper likely to be
well Informed In regard to the antecedelts OF
the female branch Of the Sprague- Conkllng
imbroglio, gives review OF that affair, which.
though temperate In language Is severe In
criticism OF the conduct OF Mrs. Sprague. Re-
marking upon the statement that one part OF
the trouble was Mrs. Sprague's disregard OF
Governor Sprague's desire to economical
desire made imperative to him by his busi-
ness embarrassmentS-t which end he had
sought In vain TO have her curtail her eX-
penSeS the Gazette says" There will be
little hesitation in believing her disregard
OF his wishes and necessities In this respect
It says that the mutual admiration of Mrs.
Sprague and Senator Conkling has for some
time been topic OF general remark and adds
1t would be hard TO believe that so ambitious.
strong minded and selfish woman. In so high
social position. would throw away herself In
love affair, but the two inflated creatures ap-
pear to have thought that they could afford to
treat with contempt the rules OF propriety and
the appearances which common people find
necessary TO regard. And In this she Was
reckless that the scandal which she boldly de-
ned dishonored and mortified her husband the
same as If she had been faithleS5 in deed Sem
ator Conkling also had the same disregard OF
the feelings and rights OF his wife and children
and was strangely reckless of that fame which
must seriously hurt his pursuit OF the election
to the Presidency
Going over the story OF Mr.. Sprague's fnan-
clal einbarrassments, added TO by his wife's
expensive freaks, and Of the succes sive occur
FENCES by which he vas driven TO a condition OF
4 envy, the Gazette says:
There Is an effect ina husbands outbreak

A leading democratic politician of Massachu.
sets, vouched for as such by the Boston Herald,
tells that paper that the democratic party of
that state Will not consent to act as tail to
Buffers kite, bu, will maintain its organization
intact. He says the rank and file of the de-
mocracy Will not support Butler for various
reasons, one Of which Is that In the event of
the confidently expected election of demo-
cratic President In 1850, there will be about one
Thousand federal Offices to be filed In Massa-
chusetts, and the democrats who are counted
upon to vote for Butler this year viii see that in
doing so they are throwing away their chances
for preferment In their own party. For every
office there will be at least twenty aspirants,
making total OF twenty thousand active poll
ticians whose prospective interests would i'm
pei them to remain with the party; SO that TO-
gether with the good old conservative solid ele-
ment OF the party that do not want Office there
would be large access of live polical vigor,
that would have It's effect In dominating the
ranks OF Buffers former democratic supporters.

their political views this year as last. Times
are better, and the people are more contented.

cent. as many people out Of work as there was

President Of the United States. and the only
man who has any chance against him is Grant.

entirely to certain things, which he kindly

men that that state Of things Is already at hand.
In fact, with American manufactures crowding
out English articles In her own manufacturing
centers, some Of them are sadly thinking that
