man boldly. "I have not come here to
talk or to defend my character, but I
have come for Polly. II you mean to do
the right thing, and give your niece
away, you can follow us to the church;
but warn you we shan't wait long"
Without another word he walked
across the room to the open door, with
Polly clinging to his arm, and for a mo-
ment none dare say him nay.
As the couple disappeared through the
doorway, however, the company returned
from their bewilderment, and urged by
the common instinct of curiosity, made a
rush for the road.
Farmer Primrose, who had been struck
dumb by the superb audacity of the
young man, now woke to the fact that
something must be done. He, too, made
rush for the road, but it is no easy
matter to get through crowd Of chat
tering girls and chuckliug men, who arc
not paying the least attention to you, ex
cept perhaps to obstruct you. The result
was, that the farmer, after much putting,
forced his way to the front, Jack was
mounted on the gray mare, with Polly in
his arms, at least so the girls say who
were present on that eventful occasion,
and am inclined to take their evidence
on such point. There are, it is true,
some of the men folk who say that she
sat behind him and hugged him round
the waist, 80 rs not to fall off. Anyhow,
there can be no doubt that they we're
both safely mounted on the back of the
gray mare.
As the farmer rushed forw ard Jack
touched the mare with his heel and
away she went, plunging bravely through
tho snow and bearing her double burden
right gallsntly; and the young people in
the road, and at the farmhouse door,
could restrain themselves no longer, but
sent forth on the crisp air ringing
cheer of encouragement.
The farmer was not to be baffied,
however, and as soon as he could saddle
a horse set of in pursuit. But fortune
favors the brave, and while Jack and
his bride reached the church without
accident, tho hot headed farmer had
several unlucky tuuibles in the snow
drifts.
When he finally arrived at Treverton
Church he met the young people coming
out and looking very happy.
might prolong my story by telling
you how the farmer storme1, how he
finally gave in, how the truth came out
that very day, when Squire Treverton
was proved to be villain, and how the
happy couple returned to the farm and

But have told you how, after all,
Polly's wedding came oil, aud as for the
rest, well, you can guess that without

THE ILL-NATURED BRIEH.

Little Miss Brier came out of the ground;
She puts out her thorns and scratched every
thing round.
''I'n just try" said she.
'tHow bad can be-;
At pricking and scratching there's few can
match me-"
Little Miss Brier was handsome and bright,
Her leaves were dark green and her flowers
were pure white;
But all who came near her
Were so worried by her.
They'd go out of her way to keep clear OF
her.
Little Miss Brier was looking one day
At her neighbor, the Violet, just over the
way;
~ wonder" said she,
"That no one pets me-
While all seem so glad little Violet to see"
A sober old Linnet, who sat on tree,
Heard the speech of the Brier. and thus
answered he:
'"Tis not that she's fair,
For you may compare
In beauty with even Miss Violet there.
But Violet's always so pleasant and kind,
So gentle in manner, so humble in mind
Fen the worms at her feet
She would never i'll treat,
And to Bird. Bee and Butterfly always SO
sweet"
The gardeners wife just then the pathway
came down,
And the mischievous Brier got hold of her
gown,
20 dear, what tear;
My gowns spoiled, declare;
The troublesome Brier has no business there.
Here John. dig it up; throw it into tho
fire."
And that was the end of the ill-natured
Brier.

publican signs. Indiana may safely be
left TO her lavorite son and the causes
OF protection and an honest bal
lot. West Virginia, four years ago,
gave Cleveland only 5O6 plurality.
Since 1883 West Virginia has grown
in mines, furnaces, foundries and fac
tories. Her industrial population has
largely increased along both the Ohio
and Pennsylvania boundaries. New
factory and mining towns have sprung
into existence. The Democratic free
trade plank ought TO settle that State in
1892 as Republican. It is difficult also
TO see how Connecticut, whose Demo-
cratic plurality in 1888 was only 1886,
can be kept out of the Republican ranks
i'm 1892, in the face of the Democratic
platform and the farcial acts of the
Democratic Congress. Indeed, the
wholesale failures of said Congress, its
violated pledges, its extravagancies and
follies, may be depended upon to help
Republican pluralties all along the
line.
The Republican outlook for Novem-
Der. therefore, is calculated 10 inspire
confidence. With a strong and clean
administration record on which to base
campaign. AMI with an opposition
whose genius is in making bad breaks,
all that Republican victory requires is n

dreds OF votes in state whose elections
are always close Besides, New Jersey
has recently prodnced and imported,
under the Mckinley tariff, strong
colony OF new factories which employ
considerable forces. The recent trial
and conviction of Democratic ballot box
suffers reveals the fact that Democratic
success in New Jersey has hitherto re-
suited from election frauds, which the
Australian ballot will materially cure.
In Virginia the Democratic plurality
in 1888 was only 1889. Nirginia's re-
cent developments in mining and manu-
featuring, i'm addition TO the People S
party detection from Democratic ranks,
make that States electoral vote an un-
certainty. Therefore, New Jersey and
Virginia are good Republican fighting
ground.
But leaving the two last named States
still in the Democratic column, the
above table gives the electoral vote as
follows: Republicans, I'll; Democrats,
167; doubtful, 66; necessary sor choice,
223. The Republicans, on the above
estimate, need only dozen votes.
These twelve would be supplied by
either Indiana's fifteen, New York s
thirty six, or the twelve of Connecticut
and West Virginia. The Democrats
with fifty-slx votes TO gain from doubt
full States, would require both New
York and Indiana, and either West Vir-
ginia or Connecticut.
Little Montana, on the above basis,
would not appear to be required either
way, unless the Michigan vote varied
from the estimate. But Montana will
be cared for all right by Chairman Car
ter, whatever the requirements.
