sight which greeted their eyes caused
the maiden to utter EXPLANATIONS of de-
light.
There were four long and widely sepa-
rated rows Of apple trees, covered with
myriad of pink buds and pink and white
blossoms.
Bathed in brightest sunshine, the clus-
tiers of apple blossoms looked radiant,
their delicate tints almost sparkled, and
the scent was like one in fairyland.
Not few of the blossoms had been
detached by a brisk wind during the
night and had been scattered over the
thick grass. The luxurious greensward,
adorned with pink and white flecks, was
more beautiful than any carpet that
could be seen in the most richly fur
nished house in the land.
It was a scene that could inspire hope
and JOY and love only. The young peo-
pie felt as if a delightful spell had taken
possession of their senses.
Mr.. Chadwick forgot tsat his appear
ance would not be apt to please fash
ionable city girl: he forgot that he wore
an old straw hae, a coarse blue flannel
shirt without necktie and a pair of
patched trousers, the legs of which were
tucked in the tops of rough cowhide
boots.
His fair companion forgot that her
dress was as fine as the clothes of her
friend were poor, and her social advan-
tage had been far superior to his.
She felt as if she were country lass
and that the stalwart and manly farmer
was person to admire.
The talk of the two was pleasant, and
10 quickly did the time pass that after a
conversation that lasted half hour they
supposed they had been talking with
each other but 10 minutes.
"Papa has spent lots of money to make
our farm look fine" cried the enthusi-
astic maiden, "but like your dear cid
place better, it is so homelike and so nat
ural. There is nothing artificial about
it. am sure poet would be delighted
with it. Perhaps you write poetry, Mr.
Chadwick"
''No, Miss Yoland, cannot do that. I

81 myself love the old farm; to me it
is the most attractive place in the world,
but l am surprised that a young lady
who has Travelled so much as you have
should find it particularly interesting"
"You do not understand me, | fear,
Mr. Chadwick. The fact is have all OF
my life been surrounded by so much
tiresome luxury and have mingled SO
much in artificial society that it is a
positive relief to me and affords me great
pleasure to be able at last to live in the
country and enjoy it's simple pleasures.

The next moment the young man
blushed and was silent 1t occurred to
him that he had too boldly expressed his
admiration in the presence Of one with
whom he had never before held Il lengthy
conversation.
His Embarrassment was relieved when
Miss YOland, in a sincere and unaffected
manner, said:

LEO XII AS 4 SOCIALIST.

The Pope is despite his advanced age. an in
dustrious man. Not only does he publish remark
able encyclcals, but he does not hesitate at fire.
qucntly writing private letters destined to explain
in a practical manner the theoretical ideas ex-
pressed in a lofty and eloquent style, in the
official documents which are now so often issued
from the Vatican. TO speak only of the present
month, Leo XIII sent. on August ,. to the Car
dnal at Bordeaux, "A letter, already mentioned
in The Tribune explaining the duty of the French
Catholic voters during the electoral campaign
OF August 20 and September 3.
Three days after having penned that political
document the Pope took up the labor question,
in a letter addressed on August g. to NJ Caspard
Decurtius. the Swiss Catholic orator. at the Con-
gress OF Bienne. There it attempted to show
that Christian Socialism alone ought to be prac-
tsed by the working classes. as indicated In the
Pope's former encyclical relative to the Con
dition of the Workmen." But Leo XIII was
anxious to reiterate his general views the
subject especially to counteract the revolution
airy ideas which were aetated at the International
Labor Congress of Zurich. He wrote. therefore,
TO NJ. Decurtus a letter In which under the pre-
text of thanking him for his speeches at the
Catholic Congress of Bienne. he indicates that
the labor reforms advocated in the latter con-
gress and In his own encyclical are clothed with
an international character TO the same extent
as the schemes proposed at Zurich by the inter
national revoutonists.
The workngmen." says the Pope I'm his letter
TO NJ Decurtius. must not expect the welfare
legltimately claimed by them from a blind over
throw OF social order but from the salutary force
and the holy domination of that wisdom which
our Lord the Christ has brought from Heaven
to the earth for the regulation Of mems manners.
We also approve the resolution of the Benne
Congress requiring another and more numerous
meeting Of workmen witch shall recommend by
unanimous vote, = thos, presiding over public
affairs to provide that everywhere laws which
should be similar protect the weakness OF work
| ing children and women ana put In practice the
advices given In our encycical Long reasonings
and demonstrations are not necessary to make
people understand that this desire Is quite rea-
| sonable. II IS evident 10 all persons that the
protection given TO labor would be very imperfect
I'if 1t given by different laws, which every
nation would make on It's own account, for Divers
| products coming from divers countries and ar
| irving at the same market would bring certainly

imposed here and there might favor the industrial
