At last the Princess grew tired of this

At last the Princess grew tired of this
indecision, and one day she exclaimed
suddenly: 'My handkerchief! will not
your highness pick it up for meP" The
Prince smilingly caught the handker-
chief on the tipsof his boot and waved it
carelessly towards her. The Princess
stopped down, caught the handkerchief
with her hands, and cried out sngrily:
~ remember"
A whole year posed away in this
manner. and the Princess thought: "This
can not always go on so, andf must put
an end 20 it, one way or the other" So
she said to the Prince: shave the most
beautiful garden in the world, and I
will show it to you tomorrow The
Prince felt that the crisis was near, and

adopt the customs Of my court for
a while-iust for one hour-and have
your hands tied also; no after-thought
then will come to mar our enjoyment"
The Princess did not much like this
but he insisted tenderly,
and as she really liked him very much,
she decided not to refuse him this triie.
The birds were singing, the sun was
shining, and the red cherries hung
down until they touched the cheeks of
the Prince and Princess as they walked
slowly side by side under the trees. The
Princess looked up at the cherries and

Prince, and picking delicately cherry
between his lips, he pulled it off from

customary for a young couple to divide

thoughts, twin feelings; especially after
precedent as satisfactory as that
which the within of the almond Princess
had created. and so the custom has con-
tinued to this day.

Fiction and Divorce.

A shrewd New England theologian

chief cause of conjugal infelicity, but
DR.. w. M. Taylor, of the Broadway
Tabernacle, said from the pulpit on
Sunday that novels which give a heroic
glamour to lascivious characters have
far more to do in filling the divorce
courts than is commonly supposed.
Multifariolls forces are evidently work
ing in modern society for the separation
of those who have bound themselves to-
gether by the most solemn of human
contracts, and the frequency of divorce
has become so alarming that through
out the Nation there is earnest inquiry
as to how the evil may be abated. An
attempt to establish National Marriage
and Divorce laws is urged by many who
ought to know that there is no constitu-
tional ground for such statutes, so that
an amendment to the Constitution
would he required to compass the result
at which they nin Numerous other
feIormers are ehdeavoring to secure the
adoption of uniform Marriage and Di-
vorce laws by all the States, and the
success of their scheme is much to be
desired.
But legislation alone can not remove
the matrimonial ills which now find ex-
preston in the record of our divorce
courts. Persons of worthless or de-
PRAYED character can not expect felicity
in marriage, and until young women

Farmers should turn their atten-
ton more to butter and egg production
in winter than they generally have done
hitherto. Cows may be so fed as to
make as good butter or nearly
so in the winter six months as the sum-
mer six months, thus dividing the year
into two equal parts. Some are doing
it, more would if they studied what is
most productive of profit in the dairy
business. So in respect TO eggs. Fowls
may be so cared for as to lay all winter,
when eggs sell from thirty-three to fifty
per cent. higher than in summer.-Chs-

THE LAND or THE AFTERNOON

"In the afternoon they came unto land
In which IL seemed always afternoon"
The L0tos Eaters
An old man sits in his garden-chair,
Watching the sunlit Western sky.
What sees he In the blue depths there,
Where only the Isles Of Memory lie?
There are princely towers and castles hlgn,
There are gardens farer than human ken,
There are happy children thronglng by,
Radiant women and stately men,
Singing with voices of sweet attune
The songs of the Land of the Afternoon.
The old man watches form OF cloud
That floats where the azure Islands are,
And he sees a homestead gray and loved,
And hand that beckons him alar.
Oh, cheek of rose and hair Of god!
Oh, eyes of Heavens divinest blue!
Long have We lain in the graveyard mold
But life is infinite. love is true;
He will find her-yesit must be soonioon.
They will meet in the Land of the A.

The sky has changed and Q,jled face;

The thi" I
brGset radiance has spread
Tier every wasted feature now:

the United States may have been en-
gagged. For such parents to get pen
sions it is only necessary for them to
show that they are without other pres
ent means of support than their own
manual labor or the contributions OF
others not legally bound for their sup
port. The existing law requires that
parents shall show by competent evil
dence that they were dependent for
support upon their sons at the time
the latter lost their lives in the service.
But the bill passed to-day wipes out
this requirement and gives parents the
right to pensions, although they were

the death of their sons.

ROscOmmOn Oil Well.

A correspondent Of the Call writes
from the Michigan oil fields at Ros-
common under date Of the Oath that
through the kindness Of Mr.. Flick he
has been piloted to the new find where
were fifty barrels of oil that had been
pumped, is coming out in spells almost
pure oil. | have said the writer had
quite long talk with one intelligent
party, and she is lady, who is inter
ested in this well, and she states that
they sent some of the oil to Detroit
and it was 10 per cent. better than
any yet discovered. She was offered
$50 on her shares that had only cost
her S25, but she considers the well as
unquestionably success and proposes
TO retain her interest and buy more
rather than sell what she has. Ros-
common is, as might be expected, wild
over the discovery, in fact, experience
ing the first genuine oil fever that
ever struck Michigan. Some young
men were out last night and the BUSH
es caught fire and almost burned up
the oil. 1t took about two hours to
put the fire out. Do not mistake the
proposition, the first genuine oil fever
in Michigan. There have been coun-
terfeits but no genuine cases, because
oil fever never GENES without oil, and
this is positively the first oil ever
pumped from a well bored in Michi-
gan. Port Huron, Lakeport, the
Sulphur Island region, near Alpena,
and the Cass river county have all
had a smell, but it was only smell,
but at Roscommon it is the crude real
ity and there is every indication that
the supply is ample and the resource
1t is little to be wondered
at that Roscommon people are elated
over the discovery, and the probabili-
ties that they have struck it rich fill
their friends at all points as well rs
the immediate parties to the enter
prise with the brightest anticipations.
