better have left us at our work, TO,
then we should have maintained our
responsibility. As it is you have done
just what ! expected you would do,
brought shame on us both, and | hope
you are satisfied. | wash my hands of
you from this time forth. To think of
you marrying a farmer, and he moth
ing more than Mr.. Browns hired hand
at that"
AUNT says it is all right, Clarissa,
and | am willing to trust her Judgment
and the dictates of my own heart
The wedding day came round, and
after the ceremony Lem proposed that
they go on a tour. The aunt and
tlarissa We're invited to accompany
the couple, and the former accepting
forced the latter to sccept also. The
next morning they were driven to the
station, and boarding a train were
Wnlrleu away 10 the south.
After a ride of several hours thew
alighted at a beautiful little city, and
taking Il carriage that appeared to be
in waiting, they were driven through
the town and out into the suburbs,
where they were set down in front of
a fine, modern mansion.
Walking up the wide, graveled way
Lem threw the door open and ex-
claimed:
welcome, my wife, to your new
home, welcome. dear friends, in the
name of both myself and wife"
Jean looked from her husband to her
aunt in mute wonder, while Clarissa
stared in blank establishment. The
aunt laughed, then throwing her arms
about Jean, cried:
Dear child, you will forgive me
for putting up a ruse. since it has
ended so well. Lem Milton is no more
a farm hand than | am, but a wealthy
and able lawyer and as his fathers
will made it compulsory on him to
marry one of you two,l arranged a plan
for him to meet you both and learn II
he could love either of you. You know
tho rest. have no more to say, save
that you have IL good, loving husband,
a good home and Il bright, happy
future before you"
IL don't care Jean said, al shan't
love him one bit better than | did
when Thought you were Il farm hand"
"lf you only continue to love me as
WELL" said Lem, laughing, II shall be
content, and know you will"

manly, Clarissa, and no one, no matter
how well born or bred, could have
done more than he did,
"Oh. no, | suppose not, and | sup
pose that you will not stop short oil
making a great hero out of him."
Clarissa, overcome by the terrible
shock to her sensitive nature, arose
and left the room,
"Do you think | have done any
thing so very bad, Aunt?n. Jean asked.
mo, think not. Still you should
be a little more careful, or some day
when you needed a hand to rescue you
there might not even be a farmer to
lend it,
During the following month Clarissa
continued to fret and fume, while Jean
kept up her rambles, always finding
something new and something of in
terest. Several times she declared to
her aunt that she would never be able
to repay her for all the pleasure of the
stay in the country.
"Never mind, my dear" the good
old lady once said, II had n little pro-
ject on foot when | came here, Il little
scheme that | kept from you and Cla-
rissa, and if that works ont right,
shall be well paid for all Eve done,

Lem Melton came often to the house
whore the girls We're staying. In the
outset Clarissa snubbed him so effect

society,

trying to force himself into my pres

Jean, however, thought differently,
and many times she and Lem prom
enaded Of evenings On the lawn. The
aunt offered no objection, and as he
appeared to be a perfect gentleman,
Jean saw no harm in keeping COM
pany with Lem.
Thus it went on until it was quite
apparent, even to a casual observer,
that a sentiment stronger than friend
ship had sprung up between Jean and
Lem. Clarissa saw it, and one day
took occasion to say:
jean, you have allowed yourself to
fall in love with that farmer, just as |
supposed you would, and 10Y the next
thing you will be for marrying him.
You may not believe it, but that is
what you are leading to as fast as you
can 60"

rissa, but we have reached that point.

we are going to be married next
For some time Clarissa was too agi-
tated to speak, but after awhile she
said, calmly enough;

EXCELLENT RULES,
Good Manners Are Thoughts Filled with
Kindness and Refinement.


BE rude to none; rudeness harms
not ever the humblest and poorest to
whom it is directed, but ii Injuries the
exhibitors.
Never urge another to do any thing
against his desire unless you see
danger before him.
Always give preference to elders,
visitors and superiors. Offer them the
best place at the table, the best place
by the fire and the first of every
thing. Go farther than mere form and
see that they are comfortable and
happy.
BE not ostentatious in dress or de-
pertinent; nothing can be more vul-
gar. See that costumes fit the time
and occasion.
Never try to o~utshine. but to please.
DO not ask another to do what you
would not be glad to do under similar
circumstances.
Do not make witticisms at the en-
pense of others which you would not
wish to have made upon yourselves.
Never talk or laugh aloud in public
places or upon the street.
Never treat superiOrs with |servility
nor interiors with arrogance. Speak as
kindly to a day-laborer as to one occu-
plying a high position.
Never needlessly owound the vanity
of another or dilate unnecessarily upon
disagreeable subjects.
Never intrude ill health, pains,
losses or %misfortunes.
Never omit to perform a kind act
when it can be done with any reason
able amount of exertion,
Never unavoidably wound the feel
ings of a human being.

Some interesting experiments have
been undertaken by Herr Herzberg.
with the cooperation Of Herf G.

Quoted with a Bunsen photometer in
which two Argand gas-burners of
equal Illuminating power were placed
at the two ends of the graduated bar.
After equality of illumination of the
screen had been established, a plate of

between one of the end lights and the
screen and the extent of the displace-

illumination on both sides gave the
measure of the opacity Of the glass. A
simple translucent but not transparent
glass showed a loss Of u per cent. of

will be pounding away on rich gold ore
from the Star Spangled Banner. The
mill floor and all the dump room around
the door is being piled up with this ore,
and still it comes pouring in. -
Tourtelotte, Jones & Co. have had quite
large crushing OF gold ore made at

gold brick that would make q poor
miners eyes bulge out, and five tons Of

Pete Caffrey and George Dougherty are

Bowers is running the main tunnel ahead

works. All the main body Of rich ore Is
below the level Of the tunnel, and the
deeper they go the richer the ore and
larger the vein.
J. w. Marshall and Thomas Stinson
are stoping out large quantities Of free
gold ore from the Unison mine. This
claim has produced the richest and
freest gold ore ever taken out in the
county. The average width Of their
streak is from 9 to 20 inches, and their
ore runs from 10 TO 20 ounces in gold, be-
sides about 80 ounces in silver. A tun-
mel has been run about fifty feet in on the
lead, and about one-half of this ground
has been stopped out. From this small
space the owners have taken out over
$4,000 clear Of all expenses. Shippee and
another man have lease Of fifty feet OF
ground below the tunnel. They have
sunk fifty feet and the lead looks so well
and the ore assays so high in the bottom
that they have determined to sink
