MOOnShinerS,

A writer in the atlantic Monthly has
been visiting the moonshiners of the
South, and has succeeded in putting
their side of the question just as they
look at it. The moonshiner," that is
the manufacturer of illicit whisky, who
make it chiefly at night, in order to
avoid the vigilance of the United
States excise officers, is usually small
farmer, to whom his still is no more
than cider mill to o Northern man.
Like his fathers and grandfathers he
has alwsys made whisky. g 1t don't do
any body any HARM" said one of them
to the writer. "It's about all the way
we have of maxim any money in this
wooden country. 1t don't go into the
general trade of the country enough to
amount to anything" which, if we may
believe what is said about its merits, is
deeply to be regretted; the liquor is
made out of their own corn, and if the
tax were actually collected upon it all, it
would drive them out of the country.
What they most fear is disturbance from
the outside-the invasions of railroads
and commerce and Improvements gen.
orally. AS one old man expressed it:
"But this hyur couotry's all goin'
to change. It's a goin' to be most
everlastin'ly improved, ye see; I'm too
old. But the old ways Isl comm to an
end. They's men buyin' up thousan's
of acres of this land. They'll be rail
roads built directly, hither an yam,
moren'll do anybody any good. They'll
cut off the woods for fuel an quarries
up hyur, they say. And they'll be
mean, dirty little towns laid out all
about, Then instid' O people drinkin'
little healthy whisky, rs we've always
done, they'll be forty times as much
miser'ble pison stuff sold and drunk,
and whoever drinks it'll begin to steal
an lie. reckon they'll be some fine
houses built someeres along this river,
and they'll put up big scientific locks
on their doors, and thieves'll come up
from Cincinnarter and Chat'noog', an
break into 'em.
"They amt never ben lock on to q
door in these mountains. But they's
goin' to be the allfredest improvements
about hyur, an I s'pose our people'll
larn to steal too; haf to, to keep up an
live. An they'll be some O them city
women hyur, l reckon, from them big
places, with their fine weathers an fine
dresses draggin' ca to the ground, an
they'll be the deuce to pay among oul
young men. That's what they call
civ'lyzation, amt it stranger? tell ye
this country IL soon be improvin' like
the deuce, but shan't live to see much
of it, reckon"
The " informer" is known among
them as the "reformer," which is ar
unconscious pronunciation of the name
and they account for his zeal in pur
suing them by the fact that " the re-
| former gets halt"

emerged into the very grove where
they had held the picnic, and there at
the foot of the oak where he and MISS
Bel Anan h I'd been married sat-Miss
Bel Anan.
The young fellow stopped and stood
still, trembling little and looking at
her. She was leaning on huge root,
with one hand covering her eyes, and
sobbipg.
"Bel |"
The words seemed to escap efrom him
unconsciously as he fastened to her.
And then came another word from the
lips of Miss Bel Anan as she started up,
apparently as much the result of
impulses:
"Edward !"
AS they were locked in each Others
arms moment afterward, there seemed
to be very little explanation. These
were natural, however, under the cir
cumstances, and were soon made. Miss
Bel Amman informed her husband that
she had not the least obi lection to being
Mrs. Edward Hay; and when the cus-
tomary performances followed, and Mr.
Edward Hay moaned his landless con-
dition, Miss Amman, or Mrs. Hay, as the
reader pleases, said smiling, as she
leaned her head upon his shoulder:
81 will give your estate back to you
as I bought it, my dear. The property
of wife belongs to-her husband!"
This charming young person had in
deed purchased Edward Hays property
and, as only year had elapsed since he
had deserted her, she was still his wife,
and their possessions were, therefore,
in common.
Nevertheless there was a wedding,
and the young people were formally
married by minister. The occasion
was a grand frolic at Judge Annan's
hospitable mansion, and Mr.. Edward
Hay said to his wife, az she blushed
under her orange flowers:
"After all, helieve-I wish to be
your husband"-J. ESten COOKE.

Boring the Ears.

A good deal has been recently writ
ten on the subject of boring the ears
"for the sake of the eyes," says the
London Lancet. 1t is always easy to
find excuses for any practice which
ministers to vanity. That that counter
irritation set up by boring the ear and
wearing a ring may, during the few
days following the operation, have some
effect on the eyes, supposing these or
gans to be the seat of any low form.of
inflammation, is just possible; but that
permanent good should be done by
wearing rings in the ears after they
have ceased to irritate, is inconceivable.
The test for motive in the recourse to
this device would therefore be
willingness on the part of the applicant
for this form of treatment" to allow
the healing process to be- delayed (say)
by wearing rough ring dipped in some
irritating application, in short, so pre-
pared as to act like seton! This, in
deed, might do good, but in such case
probably recourse to a. few biisters be-
hind the ears would be better 1t is
nonsense to suppose the wearing of ear
rings can be of any service to the eyes
unless they irritate, and if they do If
ritate, the process by which the result
attributed to them is obtained is circui'
tons, and, from surgical point OF view,
awkward in the extreme. Science can
not prostitute truth to fashion even ir
so small matter as the wearing of ear
rings.

Killing AliigatOrS.

A Detroiter who had just returned
from Florida after an absence of several
months, was asked the other day if he
had any fun with the alligators down
there.
"Yes, sir-dead loads of fun" he
replied.
"Kill manyP'
"Well, 1 should say SO !"
"How many did you ever kill in a
day ?"
"Three hundred"
"No! you don't mean 800 alligators
in one day?'
"Yes, / do"
"You must have struck a rich spot.
Three hundred in one day Whew (!
What time did you begin |"
"Oh, about 10 o'clock in the morn
ing"
"And how long did it take you ?"
"About an hour"
There was pause, during which as
tonishment, incredulity and worse were
visible on the faces of the crowd. FL
nally one man stepped forward and
said:
"Did you use artillery"
"No, SIR"
ga saw-mill?
"No, sir"
dynamite p
"No, SIR"
Maybe you'll tell us how you did
it?"
"Yes, sir-I talked 'em to death.
Please call at my Office for pamphlets
of Florida-its resources, fruits, cereals,
alligators, people and hotel charges.

$50 did /, papa !"

"Well, I suppose there is no help for
it. To be candid, my dear, always
wished you to marry Edward. His
father was very dear friend Of mine,
and I like the young fellow himself. If
it had not been for that unlucky affair
at the picnic you might have married
him some day"
"Never, papa"
"Well, my dear, of course you know
best. You really are married, 1 am
afraid; but you can count on Edward
Hay. He is much too honorable to
take advantage of you-and then he
may wish to marry some one else"
"Marry some one else? He can
not p exclaimed Miss Bel AMMAN.
The old Judge smiled, and looked
furtively at his daughter. She was
biting her lip.
81 merely hazarded the supposition," !"
said the Judge, refolding his newspa-
per. "You are aware that his name
has been frequently connected with his
cousin, Miss Hamilton"
Miss Bel Amman made no reply, She
was looking with contracted brows at
the carpet, and masticating lace hand
kerchief, which was suffering from her
white teeth. Miss Hamilton was very
handsome young person, and her name
had often been associated with Mr..
Hays. Did he care for her? 1t would
be shameful i! Had he not told her, Bel
Amman, a hundred times. Then she
colored, remembering some very inter.
esting scenes between herself and the
young man.
There's no help for it," repeated
the Judge, " but l am really sorry the
young fellow is going to leave us, There
will be one advantage, nevertheless-
you will be free again. Two years.

Then both you foolish people will be
free and he can marry Miss Hamilton.
Until then that will be impossible, as 1

"

Edward Hay rose suddenly from his
sick bed and abruptly left the country.
Ten days afterward his property was
sold and his attorney transmitted the
proceeds to the young man in Paris.
He remained there three months, went
to Rome and stayed six-then he took
run to Russia, and came home, via
England and Scotland, to New York.
1t was quite a pleasant evening in
autumn when he reached the Millbank
neighborhood again. AS he had no
home of his own he had written to a
friend that he was coming to see him,
and having gotten out of the train he
set off on foot in the direction of his
friends house.
The pathway which he followed
wound across green fields, and passed
within few hundred yards of Judge
Annan's. Seeing this, fact which he
had probably lost sight of, Mr.. Edward
Hay made detour to avoid the house.
This led him into a picturesque glen.

Ill,

Everybody could see that Edward
Hay was in an unhappy state of mind.
He had always been a person of the
most cheerful temperament, and the
gayest fox hunter in the country. Now
he had lost his good spirits and went
about moping. He grew thin and
white. He did not eat, which is bad
sign. Finally, in fit of desperation,
he joined party of fox-hunters and
rode recklessly; in swimming stream
he was thoroughly chilled, and in con-
sequence three days aiterward he was
seized with fever.
A fever is very bad thing to have
Mr.. Hay got up one night when his at
tendant friend was doing, and wrote
note which he addressed to Miss Bel
| Amman.
This reached her on the next day,
and, with little futter at her heart,
she read what follows:
- have been thinking, thinking,
thinking, here in the dreary night,
about what has happened to us; and
the result of it is that I ought to
neglect no means of showing you that
l am not the contemplate person you
must think me.
81 therefore write down, as we'll as
I can-my head seems little feverish

and assert that was deceived into TAX

"EDwARD HAY"
This was written on the first page Of
sheet of note paper. On the second
portion of the sheet, and wholly de-
tached, were these words
"Oh, how 1 love you, Bel! 1t near

see that l am not, and never have been,

The unlucky lover signed his name
again, but as he forgot to add the period
at the end of his sentence, the signature
read, Your husband, Edward Hay"
Miss Bel AMMAN, who had read the
note throughout, with deep blush in
her cheeks, suddenly burst out laugh,
ing, 1t was rather hysterical, but she
was plainly amused at something. She
allowed the hand holding the sheet Of
note paper to sink in her lap, and fix,
