The speaker was a young man OF
magnificent physical proportions. He
stood erect before the fair-haired girl
and looked searchingly in her eyes.
And as Maud Petherbridge met his
gaze unflinchingly she felt in her in

finer specimen of athletic manhood
than Alpheus Swackhammer.

piled, firmly, but with a tinge of sad

pity. Deeply as it pains me to utter
the words that sever the relations be-
tween US and dissipate the dream of
happiness in which we have INDUCED,

"Maud Petherbridge," exclaimed the
young man, resolutely choking down
the emotion that impeded his utterance,

''Do not ask me, Mr.. Swackham-
mer," she said, in voice of agonized
entreaty.
Il insist upon knowing!"
There was a deep and oppressive
silence for some moments, during which
the young lady struggled to regain her
wonted self-possession.
''Mr. Swackhammer," she said at
length, in tone of solemn conviction
that left no doubt of her sincerity, ST

on his cropped head, and a moment

Mules on the Farm.

can say honestly that the best team
l ever used-the most Trustworthy. the
most easily managed and capable of the
most work-was a span of mules. They
were ordinary mules, except, perhaps,
that they came of good mares, for l have
noticed that a mar not considered good
enough to raise horses is good enough to
produce mules. These mules lad been
sensibly and carefully trained and
handled. They had not been tormented
when young, hence did not consider all
men their foes. They had not been
yelled at or struck at every time a person
entered their stall, hence were not ready
to kick-ah instructive effort to repel
danger-whenever a person approached
them. And all the spirit had not been
driven out of them, hence they were
prompt and lively. ! could drop the
lines and leave them for hours, knowing
that they would not become entangled
in the harness or run away. They would
pillow as much or draw as heavy a load
as horses weighing on%e.fourth more.
They were brisk walkers, because they
had been trained to walk fast. They
were always ready for work.
The mule is very rarely sick-not near

are much sounder. It is not SO apt to be

doci'ity and patience of the ass are
pr%overbial. The mule endures exposure
better than the horse. 1t will endur.
heat better, and l have never been able
to perceive that it did not endure cold
as well, though the notion that it cannot
is general. But there is no good reason
why it should not indure the weather of
the Northern states while the mule is
most used i'll warm climates, it is also
used in regions where the temperature
full as low as in our Northern states
and there lasts longer than do our horses.
The more general use of the mule on

mical consideration. Its labor is cheaper

Will Vote for Cleveland.

John A. Abbott of Lebadon, Ind al
ways a Republican and a veteran Union
Soldier, is out in a letter announcing his
intention of voting for Cleveland and
Thurman. "When Gen. Harrison was
nominated" he says, II had not a doubt
but would support him, though l de-
preeaied and despised the platform on
which he stood" But Gen. Harrison's
u%tterances at Toledo and elsewhere have
convinced him that the General is in
sympathy with the principles proclaimed
at Chicago. Stephen Neal OF Boone
County Indiana, has also written a let
ter in which he declares that he shall
vote for Cleveland because of his position
on the tariff question. MI. Neal is an
old-time Republican, and was author of
the original draft of the Fourteenth
Amendment, which was finally adopted
substantially IN the form prepared by
Mr.. Neal.

such a movement, and it seemed to have
