THE OLD, OLD STORY.

Betty sighed Now, why she should
have sighed at this particular moment
no one on earth could tell. And it was
all the more eXasperating because John
had just generously put into her little
shapely hand brand-new $40 bill. And
here began the trouble
"What's the matter?" he said, his
face falling at the faint sound, and his
mouth clapping together in what those
who knew him but little called an "ob-
stinate pucker' --"now what is it?n
Betty, who had just begun to change
the sigh into q merry little laugh, rip
ping all over the corners of the red
lips, stopped suddenly, tossed her head,
and, with small jerk, no ways concili-
ating, sent out the words: "You needn't
insinuate that I'm always trouble
some"
81 didn't insinuate-- who is talking
Of insinuating?n cried John, incensed at
the very idea, and, backing away few
steps, he glared down from his ,re-
mendous height in extreme irritation.
ats you yourself that's forever insiiu-
ating, and all that, and trying to put it
on me- It's abominable.n
The voice was harsh, and the ewes
that looked down into hers were not
pleasant to behold.
"And if you think John Peabody.
that I'll stand and have such things
said to me, you miss your guess-that's
all!' cried Betty, with two big red spots
coming in her cheeks as she tried to
draw her little, erect figure up to its
utmost dimensions. Forever insinuat-
ing! guess you wouldn't have said
that before l married you! Oh, now
you can, Of course!'
didn't you say it first, I'd like to
know" cried John in great excitement
drawing nearer to the small creature he
called "wife," who was gazing at him
with blazing eyes of indignation-'I
can't endure everything"
"And if you hear more than | do"
cried Betty, wholly beyond control
now, ''why then I'll give up" and she
gave bitter little laugh, and tossed
her head again.
And here they were in the midst Of a
quarrel! These two, who but year
before had promised TO love and pro-
tect and help each other through life.
"Now," said John, and he brought
his hand down with such bang on the
table before him that Betty nearly skip
ped out of her little shoes, only she con.
trolled the start, for she would have
died before she let John see it, 1--WE
will have no more Of this nonsensev'
His face was very pale, and the lines
around his mouth were so drawn tina,
itwould have gone TO ones heart 10 hay,
seen their expression.
81 don't know how you will change
II or help it," said Betty, lightly, tc
conceal her dismay at the turn affairs
had taken, "rm sure" and she pushed
back, with saucy, Indifferent gesture
the light waving hair from her fore
head.
That hair that John always smoothct

"Oh!" said Miss Simmons, sitting up
straight and setting her spectacles moro
firmly.
And, now that you have learned all
that YOU can said John, turning
around to her, still holding Betty, "why
you may got!
The chair was vacant, A dissolving
view through the door was all that was
TO be seen of the gossip, who started up
the road hurriedly, leaving peace be-
hind.

afterward, "what was that sigh forP

might have married richer. | longed
to put ten times ten in your hand, Betty,
and il CALLED me because couldn't"
Betty smiled and twisted away from
his grasp, Running into the bedroom
she presently returned still smiling
with bundle rolled up in a clean
towel.
This she put on her husbands knee,
who stared at her wOnderingly.
II didn't mean" she said, unpinning
the bundle, "to let it ont now, but |
shall have to. Why, John, day after
tomorrow is your birthday"
$50 It's, " said John. "Gracous has
it come around so soon?'
"And you, dear boy said Betty,
shaking out before his eyes a pretty
brown affair, all edged with silk OF the
bluest shade, thatpreseuty assumed the
proportions Of dressing-gown-"this
is to be your present. But you must be
dreadfully surprised, John, when you
get it. for oh! l didn't want you to
know
John made the answer he thought
best. When he spoke again, he said,
perplexedly, while a small pucker of be-
wilderment settled between his eyes
"But | don't see, Betty. what this thing"
Qaying one finger on the gown "had to
do with the sigh
That said Betty, and then she
broke into merry laugh, that got so
mixed up with the dimples and the dane
ing brown eyes, that for moment she
couldn't finish "Oh, John, | was wor-
rying so over those buttons; but they
were the best could do then. And I'd
only bought 'em yesterday-two whole
dozen. And when you put that ten-dol-
lar bill in my hand | didn' hardly know
it, but suppose did give one little bit
of sigh for was so provoked that
hadn4 waited buying them till to-day"
John caught up the little woman,
dressing-gown and all! | don't think
they have quarreled again-at least /
have never heard Of it.

Every day we see the Importance of a rail-
road through our section OF the country, and
that farther west FIT many weeks past q
countless number of Highland wagons filled
with produce have been passing through our
town and returning also loaded Fine large
droves of cattle have BIZ en- driven through and
stock OF every kind may be seen slowly plod
ding towards Staunton to be shipped. One
OF our finest cattle markers Is in one of our
w estern counties. and not Immediately Oh a
railroad, but the cattle have to be driven to the
nearest station, damaging them very much by
the journey Every intelligent man knows
that from this cause our beef differs material
ly from that Of Europe and were not this inn
pediment III our way, those counties could be
IN lde much more pc p llous and wealthy
Churches in this place are very abundant
there being five. But since the departure OF
Rey. Mr.. Moifett, the Presbyterian church has
been closed until last Sabbath week. Upon
the invitation OF the proper authorities of the
church, Rev. MIR. Eppes preached to US from
that pulpit morning and evening, and fully
deserved all the praise he received from the
congregation generally Mr.. Eppes, was former
~ the principal of the Churchville School, and
the people became very greatly attached to
him, not only for the merits of Il display OF in
telligence, but wound himself round the hearts
of the people in every way. He was invited
with the view of being called, if the congrega-
ton were pleased with him, and should this
be the case our wants will all be supplied, ex-
cept that by one of our lady friends is wanted,
a rat, to see if her little English terrier would
prove himself The genuine article and catch it,
Would like TO suggest that the rat be a small
one, that no accidents may happen.
The cold snap made the people crowd round
their hearths and stoves, but was fine time
forpreparing for cool treatment in the sum-
mer.
A sad death occurred In our village last Fri
day night. that of the wife of Mr. James Brooks,
who unfortunately, having lost his property in
this county, started West, but his wife's health
being so bad, upon reaching Charleston w.
Va she begged him to bring her back to the
home Of her childhood to die. She arrived at
the home'of Mrs. Knowles Cher former home)
on Friday evening, and died there that night
She leaves fond husband and two little
children. The funeral services were held in
the NJ. E. Church and her remains inferred in
the sUnion" Cemetery. -. Services are being
held every night this week in the United
Brethren church, the pastor being assisted by
the Presiding Elder, Rev. NJ Funkhouser 49,.
Our school numbers now about 80 and still
and will no doubt be very large
after Christmas, a time which all seem to he
looking forward to with great pleasure.
