room and threw herself on the bed.
Harris was staggered. He col;d not
account for the strange actions ri the
young lady. He knew he had said
nothing to wound her feelings. But
why this outburst? At last it dawned
on him that the lady had nisinter-
preted his visit as one of wooing. 1t
struck him all of heap. Such a
thought had meyer entered his mind.
He could hear her sobs from an inner
room, and they touched him. After all
it might be better for him to take a
wife. He had become tired of living
alone. As he looked across the prai-
rie, dotted with cattle, some of them
his own, he reflected over the matter.
He might do worse. Alosine was not
bad looking and was good domestic
girl. Yes, he would try it. He called
to her, but no answer came. =. Then he
arose and approached her room. He
was met with volley of shrieks. a
"Alosine, my darling, will you take
me now. 1t is you, and not the horse,
| want"
Alas! his words fell upon deserted
house. He had hesitated before the
closed door. He felt that it would not
be proper for him to enter, so he called
in tender voice: "Alosine Alosine!"
but every thing was silent. Fleet as a
deer the young lady had fled over the
prairie, aud she never heard the affec-
Tomato call of her now lover. He
turned, mounted his pony and rode
homeward, regretting that he had
frightened the timid Alosinc.
The brother Boucta called upon him
the next day for an explanation. when
Harris told of Alosines misapprehen-
sion of his object, and a bargain was
made for her pet horse. Not WORD
did Harris say of his sudden resolution
to ask the girls hand. The episode
had, however, attracted his attention u
matrimony, and few months later he
espoused Gustayine Floriel, of Bayou
Vermilion. 1t was only after his mar
riage that he told the story on himself
which, coming to Alosine's ears, sen
her to bed sick.

How bismarck Pushed His Point.


An interesting and characteristic anec-
dote OF Bismarck's early career in
diplomacy is given. He was Prussiap
Minister to the German Confederation
which sat at Frankfort. In the house in
which he lodged there was no bell, sn';,he
intimated to the proprietor the necessity
Of establishing such means of communities
tion. The proprietor refused, as 1t was
"not so nomin ated In the bond" or con-
tract. By and by pistol shot was heard
in Bismarck's room. The affrighted
proprietor hurried into the room to find
out what the disaster was. "Don' lis
turb YOURSELF" said Bismarck; "this is to
call my servant AS there is no bell I will
henceforward employ this method of SUM
moning him." The bell was supplied and,
the shooting ceased.

And those glowing western skies;
Look around thee, in the valley,
At the work there is to do
