AT this thought she let the notes fall
with sickening horror. How did she
know but that a worse crime than rob-
berry had been committed for the sake of
those notes?
But, meanwhile, what would she do
with this money? She wondered that
the peddler had never attempted to re-
gain possession of the valuable garment;
but since the night of his attempted rob-
berry of her fathers house, he had never
been seen or heard of by any one of that
neighborhood.
Some young men had, on the following
day, secured the woods and roads in
search of him. but had seen no stranger,
save tall man with short red hair, who
spoke in broad Scotch accent, and car
ried Bible and some tracts in his
pocket.
II was in December that this good for
tune befell the young couple, and when
the April crOcuses put forth their little
heads among the young grass in the gar
den of the crossroads cottage they be-
held Kitty tying up the vines about her
little porch, while Walter seemed par
ticularly busy with a door, over which
was inscribed in big black letters, "Store
and Post-ofIice."

and individual use, and is lost to the
community. If the natural beauty of
thousands of towns had been developed
for the common benefit. it would be
found that profit ard pleasure are differ
ent faces of the same fact, for property
in an attractive community is more val
liable than in one which is not So
But when, as at Rugby, it is proposed
to add to this cheap and easy care for
the common pleasure the Tightening of
the common labor by the introduction of
a kind of cooperation whose value is in
contestable, the only question that re-
mains is whether the colonists who viii
come to settle will have the taste and in
telligence of the few leaders, or viii
yield to them the control. The hope of
the colony, as Mr.. Hughes expressed it,
is that it will be a community of natu-
raj, not of artificial or conventional, la
dies and gentlemen. This is the naturals
hope of generous enthusiasm.- Editors

SENATOR HoAR said of General Gar
field in recent speech at Worcester
81 do not think we need to pay much
heed to the alarm which is manifested
by some worthy people lest this, that ol
the other eminent person will take pos
session of President Garfield and dictate
his administration of his high office
General Garfield is surely as well fitted
by experience and character to be the
President of the whole people as
any man who ever held the Office. He
comes from good stock of honest Mas
sachusetts yeomanry. His great-grand-
father and great-great-grandfather are
both included by name in the act incor-
porating the second precinct of Old Con-
cord in 1916, and the gravestone of one
of them, with those of his wife and chill
dren, is in the Hill burying ground in
Lincoln. He was bred in Ohio when
Ohio was Western-frontier State. He
knows alike the hardship of EXTREMIST
poverty and the dream and aspiration of
the scholar. His sleep has been in the
log-cabin, in the college hall, in the
shelter-tent and by the campfire. He has
led the volunteer soldier in the hottest
fire of battle, and his party in the halls
of legislation in the fierceSt conflicts of
debate. He is neither to be the tool of
anybody, nor the continuation of any
body, nor the servant of anybody"

THE LUCKY HORSESHOE.
James 7. Fields in Harper's Magazine
for December.


James T. Fields in Harper's Magazin
for December.
A farmer travelling with his load
Picked up horseshoe in the road,
And nailed it fast to his barn door,
That Luck might down upon him pour
That every blessing known in life
Might crown his homestead and his wife
And never any kind of harm
Descend upon his growing farm.
But dire ill fortune soon began
To visit the astounded man.
His eggs declined to lay their eggs;
His bacon tumbled from the pegs,
And rats devOured the fallen legs;
His corn, that never failed before,
Mildewed and rotted on the floor;
His grass refused to end in hay;
His cattle died, or went aStray:
In short, all moved the crooked way.
Next spring great drought baked the
sod,
And roasted every pea in pod;
The beans declared they could not grow
So long as nature acted so;
Redundant insects reared their brood
To starve for lack of juicy food;
The slaves from barrel sides went off
AS if they had the hOoping-cough,
And nothing of the useful kind
To hold together felt inclined:
In short, it was no use to try
While all the land was ia Il fry.
One morn, demoraliZed with grief,
The farmer clamored for relief;
And prayed right hard to understand
What witchcraft now possessed his
land;
Why house and farm in misery grew
Since he nailed up that "lucky" shoe.
While thus diSmayed DER matters wrong
An old man CHANGED to trudge along,
To whom he told, with wormwood tears,
How his affairs were in arrears,
And what desperate state of things
A picked up horseshoe sometimes brings.
The stranger asked to see the shoe,
The farmer brought it into view;
But when the old man raised his head,
He laughed outright. and quickly said,
mo wonder skies upon you frown-
You've nailed the horseshoe upside
down.
Just turn it round, and soon you'll see
How you and fortune will agree"
The farmer turned the horseshoe round,
And showers began to swell the ground,
The sunshine laughed among his grain,
And heaps on heaps piled up the vain /;
The loft his hay could barely hold,
His cattle did us they were told;
His fruit trees needed sturdy props
To hold the gathering apple crods;
His turnip and potato fields
Astonished all men by their yields;
Folks never saw such ears of corn
AS in his smiling hills were born;
His barn was full of bursting bins
His wife presented him with twins;
His neighbors marvelled more and more
To see the increase in his store
And now the merry farmer sings
There are two wsys of dning things;
And when for good luck you would pray,
Nail up your horseshoe the RIGHT way"
