The Tables Turned.

1t waa Just such an American VIII
lage as you see in pictures. A back
ground of superb old mountains
clothed in blue-green cedars, with a
torrent laundering down deep gorge
and falling in foamy billows; river
rejecting the azure of the sky, and a
knot of houses with a church spire at
one end and factory at the 9th er,
whose black smoke wrote ever. chang
ing hieroglyphics against the brilliancy
of the sky.
This was Dapplevale, and in the
rosy sunshine Of a June day the girls
were all issuing forth, while General
May, the foreman, sat at his desk, a
pen behind his ear, and his small,
beady eyes drawn back as it were in
the shelter of a precipice of shaggy
eyebrows.
One by one the girls stopped and
received their pay for one weeks
work, for this was Saturday. One by
one they filed out with discontenSed
faces until the last one paused in
front Of the desk.
She was slight and tall, with large
velyety blue eyes and complexion
as delicately grained and transparent
as rose-colored wax, and an abundance

THE LOVERS OU1RREL.

Never, while I live" said Miss
Rashleigh; "Never while live, will
see your face again !"
She meant it when she said it, and
as she spoke, she threw her bsthroth-
al ring towards her lover, who had
offended her.
Tt missed him, and rolled down
upon the floor, and over tho sill of an
open china. .closet-one of those old
fashioned closets that used to stand
on either side of the mantlepiece.
She did not notice where it rolled
he did though and after she had left
the room, he turned to pick it up.
The ring she had worn would always
be precious to him.
Miss Rashleigh went straight to
her own room, as miserable girl az
ever lived and moment later Grand
mother Rashleigh bustled into the
drawing room, pushed the open closet
door to, picked up the fallen maga-
zine, set the ANNALS and books of po-
etry straight on the table, palled
down the shades, arranged the chairs
mathematically against the wall, and
hustled out again.
"I've had these things fifty years"
she said to herself; "and there's Cor
nelia and her beau with no more re.
spect 70. them than if they were that
much lumber"
Then she closed the door behind
her, and went away to her own room
upstairs, where fine silk patchwork
quilt was in the frame, a surprise for
said Cornelia.
Grandma Rashleigh gave every
young person Of the family something
of her own manufacture on his or her
wedding day.
"Now," the old lady had said a
dozen times, to Thipenny King, who
was helping her; II rather think Cor
nelia will have the best thing I've
done and there's bit in it Of every
handsome silk there's ever been lii the
family, and Of her fathers aud grand
fathers vests"
"Yes'm; it's real memorial quilt"
said Thipeny. ut takes you, mum,
to plan such things"
The guilt was finished and bound
that afternoon and Thipenys job of
quilting being over, she went home
but she carried about the village the
news that she twas sure all was over
between Miss Rashleigh and Mr.Spear
She'd heard Cornelia saying some
thing to her grandma, and the old la-
dy was furious"
"He would never have done that
if he had cared for me, you know,
grandma" Cornelia was saying at
that moment.
"Stuff and nonsansel He loves
the ground you walk on T. eail the
old lady. you'll never get such an
other, Cornslia."
II shall never marry at all ; I hate
menl' Cornelia answered.
And then her grandmother made
the house too hot TO hold her, and she
went over 20 her mothers, her usual

said Simon, with groan, as he
glanced at the five little ones around
his board. Eyes, miss, he's a villain
but this world is full o: suoh, and
find it pretty hard world to get on
in. Mr.. Elder never comes here, or
may be things would be different
Mr.. Elder lives abroad, in Paris, they
say"
"He is in this country now, and l
intend to write to him.
at won't do no good, miss.
"Yes, it will" said Marie quietly !
The petals of the June roses had
fallen like a pink carpet along the
edge of the woods, and the Dapple-
vale Works wore their holiday guise,
even down to Simon Pettengills newly
frightened steam-englne, for Mr..
Elder and his bride were to visit the
factory on their wedding tour.
at is pity Ma'amsolle Marie went
away so soon, for they say the master
is kind-hearted in the main and she
might have spoke up for herself,
said Simon to his assistant.
Mr.. May in his best broadcl 9th
suit and muatache newly dyed, stood
in the entrance smiling as the car
riage drove up aud Mr., Elder, a hand
some blonde man, sprang out and as
sisted a young lady in dove. colo red
travelling suit to alight.
MAY, how are you?" he said, with
the carelessntss of conscious superior
ity. "Marie, my love, this is my fore
man"
"Mademoiselle Marie "
Mr.. May found himself cringing be-
fore the slight French girl whom he
had turned from the factory a month
before.
"May )" said Elder authoratively,
"my wife tells me some very strange
stories about the way things are man
aged here. 1t became so notorious
that the rumors reached her even at
Blythesdale Spri ngs and she chose to
come and see for herself. Marie, my
darling, the best wedding gift we can
make these poor girls is new fore
man. May, you are dismissed.
But, sir"
"Not word" cried Mr.. Elder
with lowering brow, aud Mr.. May
crept out with an uncomfortable con-
seriousness Of Marie's scornful blue
eyes following him.
Elder turned to his wife.
"You were right my love. The
mans countonauce is sufficient evi.
dence against him" he said.
) And new reign began for poor
! Jennie Bags and the others, as well as
for Simon Peltingill. And Marie
never regretted her weeks appren.

the door, opened it, and uttered a
shrek.
There on the floor, huddled up un-
der the shelf, lay poor Orville Spear.
He was white and limp.
Cornelia sat and stared at him, in
the most awful way. She thought
him dead but the more experienced
matron saw that he was yet living.
Sally was sent post-haste for the
doctor; and there, in Mrs. Rashleigh' s
drawing-room he found Cornelia and
Orville lying quite unconscious, like
Romeo and Juliet in the scene at the
tomb, and the rest of the party in a
state Of bewilderment and terror past
description.
At last, however, both were con.
sc:ous, and, seated in arm chairs, re-
garded each other, while the observ-
ers kept silence, and Mr. Orville
Spear uttered the first words.
"Of all confounded FOOLS"

Cracking Over the New Court House.

Croaking Over the New Court House,
EpyroR FREn Pass TN connection with
nv last article will say that the Hon. Com
missioners Court of Hays county at their
last meeting, and their action on the Court
house AS limited at in my last, / will now
give my opinion in regard to the action OF
the Court. | in the first place except my
commissioner, j. II. Burleson, rs he stood
alone against the rest of the court, aud was
in favor of the Court house being built Mt
the cost of twenty thousand dollars. But
the rest Of the court passed upon the bid
made by the parties now building at twenty
seven thousand five hundred dollars. Fixing
a tax upon the people of Hays county, that
il will take years to pay, and force the poor
farmers Of the county to sell even their bread
and meat to raise the taxes imposed upon
them by the Hon. Court of Hays county.
Look at the destitution in our country, no
bread, everything scarce that the people have
to have to live on, and no money to buy
with, and tax already levied OF twenty-five
cents ON the hundred dollars. And in con-
nection with that levy the court will have to
reconsider and tax on more, rs the levy was
made ON the amount borrowed by the county
before the $27. 500 bid was received. Ii
not raised, it will fall heavier on them III
the future. If the citizens of San Marcos
want a fine Court house, let them pay for
it. Why did not the Hon. Court reject the
bid and extend the time, and get new plans
and specifications 1t would have been
cheaper to the county great deal. But rs
the matter now stands it will cost the county
forty thousand dollars before it is finished
fixing tax upon the people of the county
that will be years before it is paid, and draw
from the people of the county the hard
earned dollar that they would use to better
advantage and to their own benefit. think,
and will say that the Hon. Court did not
take the interest of the people into consider
alton. But new court house-a fine house
we must have. We must have court
house that will be credit to the county OF
HAYS. Not thinking of the cost to the peo-
ple. think the Court had too much pride
on the brain or not enough good financial
economy. To the Hon. Court of the coun-
ty is committed the treasury of the people OF
the county 1t is to the interest of the peo-
pie of the county to watch their interest,
and in your next election put men at the
helm of your affairs that will not deal out
your funds so lavishly upon fine court
house, to please the eye and not put dollar
in the treasury. The people of my precinct
are against the proceedings of the court, and
[ speak the sentiments of my precinct, and
hereafter intend to write and speak against
all matters that concern the welfare OF the
people of my county, and particularly OF
my precinct The candidates will pass
around and give US a call; we have little
hard tack and few chickens to feed them
on; if they do not swarm amongst us, we
will take few at time, as we will have to
be saving; our fine court house will have to
be paid for, in the future You will hear
from me again on the same.
