Interesting to Farmers.

We learn from the Easton Ledger that
a decision of considerable interest to far

leaves without any just reason before the
time expires, the employer is not bound
Ivy law to pay the employee anything he

Pretty But not True.

A brilliant lie has been invented to ac-
count for the Princess Steaphanie's very
pretty and natural display of emotion
at her magnificent wedding in Vienna.
1t is to the effect that the princess was
in love with an enterprising American
whom she did not see, but who saw her,
and at a small expense, at the French
exposition of 1873 for minute and a
half, while the lovers good angle, in
the form of a voluble Yankee, button
holed her papa and exclaimed to him
at tremendous length the merits of a
patent combined mower and reaper.
As the princess had then attained the
mature age of fourteen, nothing is
more likely than that in a minute and
ahalf she should received from her I'M
observed admirer an impression which
will make the imperial throne when
ever she ascend it as comfortless as the
black haircloth sofa of New England
hest room. 1t is touching as we'll as
a brilliant lie. Yet it is not new. 1t
was first heard of aprops Of the young
queen of England, who was represent
ed forty wears ago as consumed with a
hopeless passion, not for one but for
several Americans-one of them still a
prominent resident of the city of Phil
adelphia. The publication of the
queens diary has not sufficed to con-
vince Philadelphia that Lord Melbourne
did not force the queen to the alter at
the point Of the sword of state, or that
the archbishop Of Canterbury did not
cry out, Strike up, choristers'' to
drown her fearful No." uttered in
answer to his question whether she,
Victoria, would wed the man Albert.

II never sent you any written congrat-
ulations upon your marriage, Pierce;
but now that have seen your wife, you
will, l am sure, accept them by word
of mouth, at this late day."
Thus Miss Carlton addressed the man
who 50 short q time ago had been her low
er. She darted quick look into his face
as she spoke. A halt-regreted creptin
the tone Of her words. He had met her
an hour since with an indifference that,
It acting, was 80 wellfeigned that it al.
most deceived her.
Could it be that she had not read
the secret Of his marriage arighti that
1t was, indeed, love which had promot-
ed it, and not the mere feelings oil
pique TO which she, in her conscious
vanity; had ascribed il!
Power was Maud Cartoons god. To
feel that, having once possessed, she
had lost 1t, both shame and misery
combined. She had meant only to PLAY
with Fierce, not to let him slip from
her tolls. That he had done 30 had
been at any time cruel suffering; nov
she must win him back, to infiict II
turn that which he had given.

GRANDFATHER SNOW.

Grandfather Snow came down, one day
And what do you think
And what do you think
He's as old as the hills but his heart is gay
Ard ovec the country he sped away.
His hair was as white as q cotton ball
And what do you think
And what do you think
He gayly pranced over the highest wall,
For his dear old legs weren't stiff ut all.
Wherever he went he raised breeze;
And what do you think
And wat DO you think
He climed TO the tops Of the tallest trees,
As cool and nimble as ever you please!
A train went laundering over the ground
And what do you think
And what do you think
Old Grandther after it went with a bound
Sly old fellow he made no sound.
lie caught the cars, and he held on tight
And what do you think
And what do you think
The train had to stop in the road all night,
And couli int go on till broad daylight
Old as he was, he stayed out late
And what do you think
And what do you think
He sat on the posts of the door-yard gate,
And danced on the fence at high old rate
But the children eheered for Grandfather STILL
And what do you think !
And what do you think
He ~ read himself out on the top Of hill, -.
And they all coasted down on his back with n VIII
He was none too old for grand go-bang!
And what do you think
And what do You think
To the tops of the highest roofs he sprane,
And down on the people he slid with whans'
lie had no manners, It's sad to say
And what do you think
And what do you think
For a chap like him to get in the way,
And trip up people by night and day
But his heart was white and pure within;
Now what do you think
Now what do yOu think :!
To be glad and jolly is never sin,
For long faced Grandther care not pin,
We none of u. know what We should do
Now what do you think
Now what do you think

And couldn't stay here tie whole year through.

Lieutenant Cherry,s Murder.

A special from Fort Niobrara, Ne
braska, details the shooting of Lieu
tenant Cherry. He was pursuing
deserters who had stolen horses and
murdered an Indian. While riding
along with Sergeant Harrington on his
right hand, and privates Thomas Locke
and James Conroy in the rear, shot
was fired from behind them, when the
lieutenant at once turned to left in
his saddle, asking what it meant. Locke.
with his pistol in his hand, and within a
few yards pretended that it had gone
off accidentally, and Immediately shot
Cherry through the heart, death being
almost instaneous. Locke then turned
and fired on Conroy, at whom it ap.
peared he had fred his first OF. Con.
roy was wounded and knocked from
his horse. The motive of Locke is moi
known, and the whole affair has look
of mystery which, it is hoped will b.
cleared up. The conduct OF Spotted
Tail, who remained at the post, and o
the Indians he sent with the troops, ha.
been admirable.
The news OF Lieutenant Cherry's
death is received with profound sorrow
particularly by his army friends. H,

The tonic effect of Kidney-Wort is
produced by its cleansing and purifying
action on the blood. Where there is a
gravelly deposit in the urine, or milky,

cures without fail. Constipation and
piles readily yield to its cathartic and
