LOVE OR DUTY.

"And 80, JEANNE, after all, John is
going to Australia? Well, ell can say
is this if he will go he must go alone.
Your father will not let you accompany
him."
"He has not asked me, mother; his
plan is to go out for three years, and if
he gets on he will either come or send
for me. He is coming tonight to see
father and you about it,
81 think he is very foolish. He was
doing we'll enough at home, and, your
father woulH have helped him start in
business. He knows we have only your
sister and you to provide for, and that
your father has been prosperous.
"He has set his heart upon going,
mother, and I will not try to keep him. ="
The speakers were the wife and
daughter of David Lamberton, we'll
to-do shop-keeper, who had commenced
in very small way, but had done SO
well that he had the best trade of the
kind in town.
JEANNE was one of those rare women
whom you could only describe as
queenly. John Crawford had been hel
schoolmate, and ever since she could
remember they had been lovers. Her
parents would rather she had looked q
little higher, but did not seriously op-
pose her.
Calling that night, as JEANNE had
said he would, he pleaded SO earnestly
that they would allow her to go out te
him if he succeeded that her father and
mother consented, provided he sent fol
her before three years, after which tims
they should consider her free.
The parting of the lovers was yer,
tender but the hope of soon meeting
again made it less sad. After john
departure Jeannie was at loss how t,
spend her time. She missed the Ion.
walks and the many entertainments t.
which he always escorted her; but sh
tried to bear his absence as best sh
could.
At last the long waited-for lette
came, telling her John had arrived il
Melbourne and made arrangement
:. with sheep farmer to go up the couu
try, where he intended to try shee
farming in small way.
Nearly two years went by, but n
more letters came. Jeannie began t
think she had been Tilted, and that sh
had kept her promise long enough
One of her sisters companions bein

Too FaStidiOuS..

While lady selects her ribbons with
an amount of care simply indescribable,
and indeed immeasurable with our
present insufficient means of computa-
tion, the average man will seize upon
the first necktie offered to him with con-
fidence in the wisdom of his choice,
which is positively indecent. A woman
making deep study of what tints her
complexion will bear and what it will
not, heightens her charms when her de-
cision is made, while a man with blaz-
ing red nose sails out eomplacently
with necktie of pale blue to set ones
teeth on edge withal.
Stephens City star. (Stephens City, Va.) 1881-1883, 1881-08-13

Will you not name an early day for our
marriage ?"
. And Jeannie did so, blushingly.
Her early dreams of welded happiness
are now realized to the full; her hus.
band is all that she could wish, and his
parents almost idolize her. And so we
will leave them, always looking forward
to some future good. Warerly Maya

The best OK horns come from the
Rio Grande; they are tough, of fine
texture, and susceptible of a fine pol
ish. Cattle hoofs sell at from S12 to

cents a piece. The hoofs OF horned
cattle weigh about two aud !. bali

free desperate struggle will ensue,
likely to injure exhibition plumage,
or to distract the broody hen from
her vocation. Approach the bird
from behind, place both hands firmly
and quickly right over the wing
then slip the right hand down and

bird, held by the legs, with the left
hand under the breast, will not offer
