X What Two Girls Did.

The following story is told by gentleman
who IL intimate with President Hayes and
President-elect Garfield, and whose personal
truthfilness is vouched for by the Cleveland,
Herald .utA waaa asHl a5A aEdt a-t7aa a tt
In The little village Of Bedford, only twelve
miles distant from Cleveland, there lived
some thirty years ago, two charming and 1T
tractive girls. To one Of these President
Hayes had become an ardent suitor, but The
parents of the Young lady had vigorously
opposed their courtship on the ground that
young Hayes was poor and gave evidence 81
hardly sufficient ability TO warrant risking
their tdsughter'se future. The match was
broken of, and to-day the lady d married
and well known to Cleveland people. n The
other young lady had received some atten-
tion from young Garfield, and was well-dis-
posed 70 rcciprocate them. Her parents.
however, objected to their intimacy, giving
rs their reason the poverty Of Garfield and
the anything but bright prospects Of his fur
tnre. The most remarkable coincsdencesso sof
the courship were that both young ladies
lived In village OF not more than 900 In
hab,tants, and both refused future Prssi-
dents or the Tinted States bccauss o. their
poverty.

And lonesome out o door

Too old to be left alone!

For the first sad hours In sixty years,
You were out of reach last night.
You've cut the flower. You're very kind,

And threw the stem away;
But she, sweet, thrifty soul, bent down,
And planted IL where she stood,
