A Millxmaid i'm Top Boots.

A wealthy farmer in Rutherford
County not long since was applied to
by q good-looking lad for work, the
boy saying that he preferred to drive a
harvester or wagon or do other light
work about the farm. The applicant
looked so delicate that the farmer re-
fused the request, but gave the lad the
name of farmer in the adjoining
county who wanted a boy TO milk COWS.
The situation was sought and the lad
taken on trial. The two farmers met
n few DAYS since in Nashville, and got
TO talking about the lad. Said the en-
ployer of the boy: "Ic is the best
mixer l ever saw, and can get more
milk from the cows than any one lever
had before him. He attends strictly TO
I'm afraid he is going to create sem
sation yet.
Being pressed by his friend, the farm
or was compelled 10 admit that his
wife had discovered, through the mer-
est accident, that the supposed boy no
had employed TO milk the cows was a
woman. "When | found it oAt l told
my wife the girl would have to SO. as
it would never DO to have our neigh
bors know we had woman parading
around the farm in top-boots. My wife
told ME she didn't think anybody else
would ever find il out, and it was worth
while taking the chances on it. as the
lad suited us so we'll. liked Georgia,
and took my wife's advice, and think
she will be able 10 stay with us and
wear mems clothes rs long as she
wants to.
''She lived up in Indiana and had
heard about Middle tennessee, where
you could throw your hat on the ripen-
ing wheat and IL would bear it mp, il
was so thick and strong. so she deter
mined to come down here and get work

Love Among the Peaches.

Several years ago gentleman living
in this city bought farm near Wyom-
ing, on the Delaware Railroad. Just be-
low Dover. He removed thither with
his wife and only child, daughter
now about 90 years of age. u bright and
accomplished girl. To vary the mono
tony of her simple rustic life she taught
music in the surrounding neighborhood.
A young man dressed like laborer.
but showing evidences of more refined
nature than his external appearance
indicated, applied for and obtained work
from the heroine's father. He was q
well-built, pleasant looking fellow, al
though not handsome, and wore a
bright auburn beard. A mutual affec.
ton sprung up between the daughter Of
the household and the new hand. A
sharp watch was kept on the maiden,
but in one of her usual rounds among
her pupils her lover took advantage of
the opportunity, proposed, was accept
ed, and the twain went to the nearest
minister, where they were made one.
They returned later in the evening,
confessed, and the newly welded wife
pleaded forgiveness. Her father be-
came very wroth At her undutiful act
ID elected them, with few articles
onging to them, from his home, and
id them never to return. They went
to her uncle's house, where they stopped
for the night. The next morning, with
ut any further parley with the indig-
nant father-in-law, they went north on
the first train and did not stop until
they reached Alhanv in Nayu Yorl Cfota
To the establishment of his wife he
here disclosed his true position-the
son of very wealthy parents and him
self possessed OF competence in his
own name, He had fled from home
for some folly, but his parents received
their new daughter-in-law with open
arms. A letter of explanation was sent
to her parents at Wyoming. who were
overjoyed at their daughters good
fortune. - Wilmington NeWS.

A Fish Story.

Squire Borge, of Bangor, is wealthy
and wishes his friends TO understand
that he is wonderful sportsman. Last
winter he started up country on fish
ing trip, where he met with poor
success. The first thing he did on re-
turning TO the city was 10 go to a
market and buy fifteen trout. They
were beauties, and he told the sales
man what he was going to do and ask
him where he should say they were
caught.
''Oh. tell them they were taken from
Linus Pond"
On his way home the squire called
and had the largest one photographed.
Underneath the picture he wrote:
lone of the fifteen taken from Linus
Pond, Jan. s, 1884, by Timothy Borge,
Esq"
In two days. he came back to the
marketman and said:
'.Lookee here, where is the Linus
Pond, anyhow? They asked me where
it was and l told them it was up in the
north part of Hancock County. Then
they got q map and wanted me to show
il to them. and for the life of me l
couldn't find it. just tell me where il
is and I'll 60 home and fix them. Con-
found their hearts, I'll tell 'em where
Linus Pond is, and give them enough
OF it,"
Then the marketman led him gently
outside the shop and pointed to his
sign. 1t read: Linus Pond. Fish,

When the inundation approaches the

The day before the cricr begins his

sings;

Before the crier proceeds TO give the

This ceremony Is carried on until the
month OF September. whom the river
