JOEL AND JOAN.

Alas for Joel! 1t was decreed that he
should love to distraction the gentle
Joan McVey, fairest of Calhoun county's
daughters and the pride of Morgan town
ship That he should love was no misfor-
tune; but that a yawning social gulf
should stretch between Joan and himself
was calamity of fate. For Joel, poor lad!
worked around" and had never foot of
land in his own right, while Joan was the
heiress of a 300 acre farm, which certainly
was worth $50 an acre if it was worth
cent. And, Furthermore, Joan's father was
the town clerk Peter McVey, clerk of
Morgan township" What an awful
sound it had for Joel, whose vague ideas
conceived the office second only to the
governor and third beneath the president.
They had spoken but once, yet he could
never forget that day, and his mind dwelt
upon her honeyed words until life became
desert waste and was given over entirely
to the mirage of feverish dreams. She was
returning from town in her fathers demo
crat wagon, and.l was tramping through
the sand in the opposite direction. He saw
her and his heart thumped his brawny
breast like trip hammer She's looking
right at me" he muttered with choking
throat, and so she was. He turned to
allow the vehicle to pass. Something
seemed to whisper to him: Joel, now or
never. Here is your opportunity. 60 1t,
lad"
Good evenin', Miss McVey," he STAN
mered, although it was high noon.
Good morning, Joel" said Joan, with
equal disregard for the time of day.
o the sweetness of that voice! Jest ike
a meller wind wistlin' through the scrub
oaks" sighed Joel rapturously, and he
turned to watch her out of sight. Great
was his reward, for Joan likewise looked
around for another glimpse Of the hand
some youth. She smiled. His blue ''wa-
mus" heaved like a fretful river, and he
strained his eyes until she faded into the
misty shadows of the woods by Hackett's.
For one whole week Joel was in seventh
heaven; but as time wore on, and his
initial success seemed likely to be his last,
he fell into the slough Of despond. His
bashfulness would not allow of his follow
ing up the first bold stroke while the iron
was hot, and be waited so long to garner
sufficient courage that he feared his case
was hopeless.
Not having the stamina to bravely adj
dress her, what did it devolve upon him to
do? He must either give up all thought OF
her, or-or-why not write? He wrote a
fairly good hand, but his spelling was fear
full and his composition worse. Here is
letter he began:
miss McVa:
DEER MADM-This weather is Bad for hayin
an don't care whether die or stay well i'm That
Rekles like you an if you like me
Getting thus far he was in great agony
for word After wasting his thoughts
for ten or fifteen minutes, he showed his
good sense by destroying the letter.
The next day he went to town and pur-
chased work entitled "LothariO's Com
pendulum; or, An Easy Path to Courtship
and Marriage. Containing a Complete Set
of Letters, from Cold to Madly Impassioned,
to Fit Every Variety of Condition. Fully
Illustrated"

Noellne shrugged her shoulders in sign
that she did not know. They both stood
silent, dreaming and they dared not look
into each others eyes by the light of the
smoking resin.
Very soon Lariensec, the farmer entered.
Good evening, good evening"" he said
after the peasant fashion, saluting as many
times as there were persons in the com
pany.
And when he had recognized the former
shOpkeeper: what, Jonanin, you herel
What the devil are you doing here!"
81 come to talk over old times! 1t does
one good at our age"
"Ah, yes, the old times" said Lariensec
81 remember that you were to have been
married, you and NOeline."
"Certainly!' replied the miller.
'And do you know what kept us apartf'
asked the merchant; "a cricket"
"Bahp' exclaimed Lariensec. "In fact
seem to remember'-
He burst into loud laugh.
"Ah, it was too good!' said he, too
goodr'
Then seriously: BAH you are happy,
are you not? Both happy? We are all
happy here; so we may confess our little
peccadilloes of other days. All! that one
was too good! Do you know, Jonanin,
why the cricket did not sing? We are all
friends, you know, old fellow. Well, it was
because was watching you. scratched
in the chimney there, on the side next our
b field, when you came to pay your court
All! other people loved Noeline, too, and
other people were furiously jealous"
Then seeing that his revelation was
coldly received, and that Noeline looked at
him sadly, he resumed generously:
''That is not all; come to tell you that
/ accept your price for the corn; twelve
francs five sous the sack. Does that suit
you, Noeline"
And Noeline in low voice: THAT suits
me, Lariensec."
Then the farmer bought some spools OF
thread from the merchant from Orthez for
his wife and paid without bargaining.
Good evening, good evening"" he said,
going out.
And the two old lovers were left alone.
Fhey did not say much to each other
Jonanin slowly put up his merchandise.
Noeline watched him, unconsciously, turn
ing over the little silver cross, which she
still wore, with her bony fingers. For one
despairing moment she was perhaps tempt
ed to press her lips to Jonanins hair, once
blonde, row turning gray; but she r.
strained herself; her virgin lips were igno,
rant how to give such kiss.
well, good night, Noeline," said the
colporteur, lifting his box to his back.
Good night, Jonaninr
They awkwardly pressed each others
hands and parted.
He took the path through the woods on
which the moonlight fell; she standing on
her threshold watched him go, while in the
chimney the cricket sang in the sad night,
sang with calm, clear, untiring voice, as
if he wished to tell Noeline of all the hap
piness she might have had.-Translated

NO QUARREL WITH HARRISON.
Clarkson Denies Democratic Lies-H
Reason for Resigning.


PORTLAND, June 2S-First Assistant
PostmasterGeneral Clarkson left this ai.
ternoon for California. He will return in
few days. In answer to q question
touching upon his reported quarrel with
President Hnrrison. he said:
Il am thoroughly familiar with that re-
port, having had it placed before me dozens
of times, and there is not a particle of
truth in it. The whole story from the first
word to the last was manufactured out of
whole but decidedly fimsy cloth by dis
gruntled Democrats and the Democratic
press. The most amicable relations exist
between President Harrison and myself.
Such has ever been the case. Never an un-
pleasant word has passed between us, and
he treats me on all occasions with the ut
most courtesy. There is no possible found
alton for the report in the face of such
harmony as exists between u.s."

tion TO the President"

ParneiI's Forty-Fourth Birthday.


LONDON, June 2S.-A grand banquet was
given tonight by the National Liberal Club
In honor of Parneli's forty-fourth birthday.
justin Mccarthy presided. Parnell in an
address congratulated his hearers upon the
Gladstonian alliance and expatiated upon
the policy OF the Irish party.
Parnell referred to the recent absence OF
certain Irish members when the govern
ment was nearly defeated and excused
them. II e said it was as nluch-a surprise
to the Irish party as TO the government. 1t
would be useless to issue whip,
because it was known that the
government opened all Irish members
letters and one whip would thus have de-
feated its own object. Nevertheless it was
worthy of remark that the ParnelIites we're
present IN greater strength than any other
party. He was convinced that the Irish
party had not much longer to wait for the
harvest

Lord Carnarvon was one of the ablest, most

produced any practical results It is remem-

When the Tories regained power in the sum-

the favor OF the irish more than any viceroy
for many years past. AS another election was
impending, consequent on the extension of the
franchise. and the Tories only hone of retain
ing office was an Irish alliance, the cabinet,
with Psrnell and Justin Mccarthy for
the Irish vote in return for home

favorable TO a measure of home rule and the
Parnellites have since insisted that a bargain
was made. Whether that was so or not, when

CHICAGO. June 2s.-The grand jury today

aldermanic bribery in connection with the

legged affidavits of ex-Aldermen Wallner
and Monear, bearing the seal and
the signature of Joseph G. Mackin, the
noted political "ine-worker, were laid
before Mackin by the grand Jury several
days ago. but he professed to know moth

given that they we're manufactured by his
Clerks.
Today an intimate friend of the clerk
went to the states attorney and said posi-
lively that the affidavits were drawn by
Mackin and that the latter boasted of the
the fact A baiiiff was sent out for Mackin,
but he could not be found and the general
impression is that he has absconded to
avoid prosecution for perjury. Mackin

largely farmers and Farmers Alliance
men. l.. Fl. Platter presiding. The Alli-
ance virtually controlled the nominations,
getting six of the ten principal ones. In
the nominating speeches mention of the
fact that the aspirant was a member of the
Alliance was passport. The legislative
nominations were postponed till after the

commissioners, John ID. Eaton, Henry
Essor, Lillis II. Smith; assessor, w. b.
Pendie; surveyor, c. N. Park; coroner. G..
A. Miller; sheep commissioner, H. Z.
Hardy.
The resolutions pledge a new devotion
to the principles of Jefferson, perpetualIy
incorporated in the Democratic platform,
oppose taxation of the masses for the hene-
fit of the classes; oppose class legislation of
whatever kind; recognize that the people
are the government and that that govern
ment is best which governs least; favor free

tract the currency; declare that no more
taxes should be collected than

ports be highest on luxuries and lowest on
necessaries, and that imports for the bene-
fit of agricultural masses be free; favor the
prevention of trusts by law demand that
government officers be elected by direct
vote of the people; demand an income tax
law; demand regulation of freights and
fares; favor taxing mortgages; favor
forfeiture of land grants not earned by
strict compliance with the granting acts
severely denounce the legislature for i'm
becility. incapacity, disregard for the we'll
fare of the people. prodigaiity in expendi-
ture, corrupt disposition of the tide lands.
