portance to communicate to her.
She smiled graciously and allowed
! me to lead her into the conservato-
I ry.
Rare exotics and beautiful flowers
met our view. The songs of birds
met our ears, and the music from
the salons stole fitfully in and out.
We were alone. | could not resist
seize,i both her hands, and, bend
ing over her, said:
''Aggie have you forgotten me?
Do you not remember the playmate
of your childhood ?'
A flush came upon her cheek, u
wondering light stole into her eyes,
and happy, joyous smile wreathed
her lips.
"Robbie, is it you ?'' she cried.
"Yes," I answered, "Aggie, it is
the same Robert Desmond you part
ed from so long ago." Ee
How can l describe the joy felt
at the moment fraught with hope
and bliss to me. We talked of the
years that had flown, told each
other our respective histories, dating
from our parting under the willows
so long ago.
81 never forgot you, Robbie" she
said, "nor the happy hours we spent
together. I told you never would,
and here is the old ring you placed
on my finger the day we parted. !"
And she held up her hand and
showed me the old ring, now worn
almost to thread.
"You have made good name for
yourself, Robbie" she continued /;
"you have reaped honor and fame,
and no one can be more proud of
your success than 1 am"
She ended with flushed cheeks
and downcast eyes.
"Aggie," said, twill you believe
me when say that / have won all
for you and you alone? That it was
the remembrance of you which
made me what am ?"
She started and blushed.
"Aggie," / continued, "I have
come for the promise which you
mad me long ago. DO you remem-
ber it, Aggie ?"
ST do" She said timidly. "How
could / ever forget it?"
sand you will be mine, Aggie-
do you still love me as of yOre ?''E
"Love you, Robert? Oh, yes,
more than tongue can express"
And then 1 drew her to me and
imprinted one long, rapturous kiss
on her willing lips.
Our subsequent conversation was
necessarily brief, for Aggie had TO
return to our guests, and as we
again entered the crowded salons
we knew that there was not in all
that happy throng two hearts that
felt half the joy that filled ours to
overfowing. .,
Ina few weeks we were wed, and
the old homestead was repurchased
and fitted up with all the luxury
which wealth could purchase, and
Aggie and still wander down the
old familiar haunts of yore, hand in
hand.

The Scarcity of PORK.

There is much talk now of the
great scarcity of killing hogs
throughout the country and great
fear is expressed lest the crop runs
so low as to greatly enhance the
price of pork the coming season.
On this subject an exchange gives
the following views, which we
think very practicable and sensible
and would recommend them to the
consideration of our farmer friends /:
The present high price of hog
products of all sorts, and its pros
pective continuance through anoth-
er wear, makes it wise in every far
mer to kill this winter, every pig
that can be made to weigh from
eighty to one hundred pounds.
Even under ordinary circumstances
it is not good policy to carry over
hogs until they are eighteen months
Tor two years old. A nine months
pig that will net one hundred and
fifty pounds of pork makes cheaper
bacon than any eighteen months or
LWO-yedT Olu HOS ludt VIII HudhO
only two hundred or two hundred
and fifty pounds. According to our
own experience, pigs Uttered about
the 1st of March and butchered
about the next December or Janu-
ary, make the cheapest and best
meat for family use. They have
then lived through only part of
one winter season. A very safe
rule is to kill "everything that is
fat enough, and that will weigh
eighty pounds" excepting, of
course, a Sufficient number of breed
ing animals. This rule is also ap'
pllcable to cattle that may be in
good condition for beef at the be-
ginning of winter and of no special
value as milkers. A very common
practice with dairymen at the north
is to "dog Off a COW of only ordi-
nary milking qualities and convert
her into beef. 1t is certainly poor
management to let cow or hog
once fat, become poor.

How to be Beautiful

A celebrated beauty, whose COM
plexiOn at 60 was rather fresher
than that of our women at 80, told
a New York correspondent OF the
Washington Critic her secret this
summer, and it was divided into
two parts. First, she never used a
towel or .washrag on her face, but
washed itwith her hands, rinsing
IL off with soft sponge. She used
clear water la the morning, but
white CASTLE soap or very warm
water at night, and alter drying it
on a soft towel she would take a
flesh brush and rub her cheeks, chin
and. forehead. Second, If she was
going to be up at night she always
slept as many hours in the day as
she expected to be awake beyond
her usual time. She finished her
little sermon on beauty preserya-
tion by saying: "Soft water and
sound sleep keep off wrinkles and
spots, and girls should pay more
attention to this than they do, for
D 'sWith the coming Of the crows feet ~
Is the going OF the beaux's feet"

PorTsvILLE, Nov. I0-At an car
ly hour this morning fire broke out
in the residence Of John Hepler, a
well-to-do farmer living in the
Williamstown Valley, near Tower
CITY,. Mr. Hepler was away from
home. Mrs Hepler and six children
were all in bed at the time, The
cracking flames, which quickly
spread and soon enveloped the
whole building, ,awoke Mrs. Hepler,
who, conscious of the danger
which surrounded her aud her
family, rushed to the aid OF the
children, who slept In different
rooms. She succeeded in rescuing
five of them. Almost exhausted
she again entered the house for
the sixth child, an interesting two
year-old boy, the youngest OF the
family. Before she reached his bed
side all means Of escape were cut off,
and both perished in the flames.
When their charred remains were
found the child was locked In the
mothers arms. Mrs. HepIer was
.46 years OF age. THE origin OF tho
fire is not exactly known, but As sup
posed to have been started In the
Kitchen. The house, with MI Its
contents, was totally. destroyed.

COLLECT ALL YOU CAN AND SPEND
ALL YOU COLLECT.

The whole system Of revenue in the
English government rests upon theear-
-dinal principle that revenue should be
governed by expenditure"
We are just now having in this coun-
try an illustration Of the workings of an
entirely opposite principle-that ex-
penditure should be governed by
revenue.
A writer on English finances says
that mo principle is more clearly recog-
nized by English financiers than that
money or wealth in the hands of the
people will be better and more profita-
bly, employed than it would be by the
government, supposing, of course, that
the government has all the means nee
essary to the due performance Of its
proper functions. A surplus income,
however, "meansa sum taken from the
taxpayers in excess of the needs of the
government, and, therefore, steps are at
once taken to abolish or do away with
such surplus by reduction of the bur-
dens of taxation"
In other words, anticipating a sur
plus, measures are taken to prevent it,

The only hope of relief from the evils
of the spoils system seems to be con-
tinued popular agitation and discussion.
In this field the various civil service re-
form associations which are springing
I'D throughout the country, and which
are continually growing in number and
influence, are doing good work. The
tone of the press daily grows more bold
and radical. The almost unanimous
condemnation of the hoary and we'll
known abuse .ofpolitical assessments,
which had been tolerated for years with
indifference, if not acquiescence, shows
a quickened state of the public con-
science. Possibly the cry Of the people
may some day become so loud as TO
penetrate even the wall of the White
House and the Capitol and make itself
heard above the clamor of the spoils-
men.

of Queen VICTORIA in 1858; in 1859 q

THE New York Herald announces
that HUBBELL and his strikers have
reached He'll Gate with their assess
ments, and are levying at the rate of
$3.50 per head on the day laborers at
that point. If this place has any rela-
tionship to the one of the same name
particularly described in the Good Book,
HUBBELL is very modest in his assess
ments. A contribution for such pur-
pose, of only $3.50 per head, at HE'LL
GATE, is not large and rather unpro-
pitiOus for HuBRELLls campaign.

A Blot Upon the Annals of the Nine
teenth Century


n Blot Upon the Annals OF the Nine
teeRth Century
Boston Herald.
Who is to blame for the destruction
which has fallen upon Alexandria? That
terrible blame rests somewhere is beyond
question. A pOpulous and prosperous city
has been swept by fire and the sword, and
reduced to utter desolation. The native
inhabitants have fled into the interior. The
European residents have sought refuge on
shipboard or lie dead under the charred
ruins of their homes. Civilization has tri-
umphed. A riot in which, according to
the official estimate, some fifty or sixty
Europeans lost their lives, has been aveng-
ed, and the vengeance has borne fruit in the
massacre of two thousand Christians by
the Mussulman mob. Mr.. Gladstone in
formed the House of Commons that the
British Government could not have antici-
pated the terrible events. But it is plain
that some one has blundered, and that the
blunder has resulted in blot upon the an
nails of the nineteenth century.

BEY's birth and parentage are now in
order. The latest makes him kind OF
modern Ishmael, and considering that
his hand is against every mans hand

there is a seeming appropriatenessabout
the legend. If it should happen, as is
very likely, that he is driven out into
the desert, the resemblance will be still

THE census bulletins relating to the
farming statistics of the United States
exhibit the somewhat surprising fact
that more than 25 per cent of the farms
in this country are held by tenure, the
owners drawing either a fixed share in
money or certain share in the pro-
ducts. The latter method is the more
prevalent one, for at least two farms
are rented on shares to every one where
the rental is fixed money payment.

THE freight handlers strike in New
York is, perhaps, one of the most in
excusable that ever interrupted busi-
ness in this country. The trifing adj
vance asked by the employees is con-
ceded to be just, and yet the COMPANIES
are spending ten times the amount in
resisting the demand, besides subjecting
themselves to enormous damages if the
shippers choose to hold them liable.
The old principle of common law, by
which nothing excuses public carrier
but the acts of COP and the public
enemy, still prevails in New York.
Being common carriers, their duty to
transport goods delivered to them with
out injurious delay is Imperative. They
assume all risks arising from the con-
duct of their agents and employees,
strikes included. They are responsible
for all losses arising from delays in de-
livering freight given in their charge,
and the New York merchants who are
suffering from the failure to transport
their goods, have remedy in their own
hands whenever they choose tOapply it.
