That Hateful Man.
I hated Henry Carling from the first
tirne he took hie goat in front of me at
table d'hote in the Sea Beach Hotel and
looked at me so much it interfered with
my appetite. When I went out rowing and
the boat upset he was on hand to fisli rae
out. I suppose I ought to have been grate-
ful for that, but I wasn't. Pm sure he
knew my boat yeas cranky and followed
me on purpose; besides the waves were not
running very high.
He was an artist and could spend hours
looking at a sunset. Did you ever know
anything good of a man who could sot in
that incomprehensible manner?
I was out walking about a week after I
allowed the young man to save me from
drowning.
I walked, and walked, and walked. Pres-
ently I carae to a cottage, outside of which
a beautiful little child, with long hair, was
playing. The pretty little thing ran after
me laughing.
I held out my hand to him.
We walked on toward a clump of wild
flowers that hung over the road in a grace-
ful way that I am too stupid to describe or
draw, though Henry Carling can do both.
I suppose that, though I may dislike a
person, I'm able to do that person some
sort of justice.
Wo—the child sad 1—wore seated toge-
ther on the little rock I had chosen as a
resting -place, when suddenly there came in
sight an object I shall never forget—no,not
to my dying hour.
It was a dog; mad, it was too easy to
see. It ran on, hanging its head, but with
wild eyes and foaming at till) mouth,
hideous and furious. It flew at the little
child.
I only remember one thing. As it flew
at the child I caught its threat. I held it
with the strength of the madness of that
terror, for the little creature's sake, that
had come upon me, and there I stood. I
did not tremble.
Thehorrible saliva ran from the dogs
mouth. It did not touch my hands.
Fortunately, too, I had doeskin gloves to
keep my hands from freckling and tanning.
I stood so—and ages seemed to pass—
when Henry Carling came up. With him
were three men.
How they mastered the dog I do not re-
member. After that I fainted.
When I revived I had been carried, I
found, into the cottage of the little claild's
. mother. She was kneeling beside inc ancl.
saying all manner of things to me about
" saving her boy's life."
As for Henry Carling, he'was crying.
The idea of crying like a baby, a grown
man
And all because a girl held a mad dog I
I suppose he would have had me think of
nobody but myself and run off! Ihatesuoli
people ,
Two days afterward his sister °mete see
me. I had to keep my bed. I was over-
come by something or other—fright, I sup-
pose, for ,when it was over I could not but
admit that I did feel strangely.
When I finally came down -stairs there
was that provoking man, as large as life.
He looked pole and had tears in his eyes,
and when he tried to speak to me he seemed
to choke and could not do it.
Then what do you think, of all things,
that he did say?
Ile said he loved me.
To -day week we are to be married. Papa
made a little fuss at firsts but Aunt Julia,
who had taken a mother's place to me ever
since my poor mamma died, advised him
not to thwart me. -
"What is the use of being rich, my dear
Charles," said she, 4' if you cannot let your
child fellow hr own inclinations? Carling
is a fine artist and a gentleman."
There that horrid matt calling now. He
is in papa's library. He wants—a kiss 1
He says it is three weeks since he had one.
Dees he suppose for a moment that I am
going to him to give hina one? I am in the
sitting000m writing all this. I presume
that if he must have such an indulgence he
is big enough, and old enough, and ugly
enough to come for it hintaielf.

Watch the Insects.
Injurious insects demand attention
throtighout the summer months. Look
for the borers near the base of young fruit
trees; if sow -dust is Been frorri a hole in
the bark, Or if a portion of the bark lemon
to be depressed, ellt 011t the borer. If the
leaves of ourrant and gooseberries are eaten
by the worm," apply white hellebore at
once. Stir a teaspoonful of the powder in
a pailful of water, and apply with a syringe.
Repeat this after a few days. If later
broods appear, continue the remedy, which
is a very certain,one. The greenish sling
Slug, which appears upon the leaves Of
oherry, peak and Other trees, may be de-
stroyed by applying air -slacked lime or ,
wood ashes. This they bo cliteted ripori the
leaves by means of &bag of coarse fabric,
attached to a pole. The insects attacking
the grape vines this month are mainly large
caterpillars, which are most readily picked
by hand, and the se -celled " thrihs," which '
is properly the " grapevine leaf hopper," and I"
not related to the true *nips. It is a little
whitish insect which often rises in clouds
when the vines aro disturbed. Ile best
treatment is to go among the vines with

insects, which will at Mice fly towards the

Won Her by the Book.
An exchange relates that a young gentle-
man bappening to sit at church in a pew
adjoining one in which sat a young lady, for
whom he conceived a sudden and violent
passion, was desirous of entering into a
courtship on the spot, but the place not
suiting a formal declaration, the exigency
of the care suggested the following plan:
He politely handed his fair neighbor a
Bible (open) with a pin stuck in the follow-
ing text, II. St. John, 5: "And now: I be-
seech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a
new commandment unto thee, but that
whieh we had from the beginning, that ',We
love another." She returned it, pointing
to Ruth ii. 10: " Then she fell on het face,
and bowed herself to the ground, and said
unto him, Why have I found grace in thine
eyes, that thou SbOUICISt take knowledge of
xne, seeing I am a stranger ?" He returned
the book, pointing to HI. John, 13: " I had
many thins to write. X will not with pen
and ink write unto thee, but I trust I shall
shortly see thee, and vie shall speak face to
face." From the above interview a mar-
riage took place the ensuing week.
Awaiting the Result.
The popular Major Priest, of the New
York Central road, very, muela resembles

Bancanna a Pin>
That wickedness Bernath:40s PaesPere is
avid_ ahead, says tbo New Yerk Warta, by the
rather romantic career within the last feW
months Pf Charles W. Banks, formerly of
Albany, this State, later of San Francisco,
Cal., and now elevated by the power of love
to the throne of, Ring of Cook's Island in
the Smith. Pacifio Ocean. A history of Mr.
Bank's life in Albany would add so little
interest to his later life that it is unneces-
sary to refer to it now, except to state that
in that rolling town he married a very
interesting young lady, for whom, accord-
ing to his latest letter to his friends in this
city, he still entertains the most touching
affection. It is also hardly necessary to
say that the lady in question, Mrs, Fanny
A. Banks, who is new in this city, places
so little faith in these assurances of
unbounded love that she hae begun a
divorce suit, and charges his /flagship with
desertion and infidelity.
Soon after the marriage of the couple
they journeyed to San Francisco, where
Mr. Banks, being intelligent and bright, as
well as a handsome young man, obtained
employment in the express office of Wells,
Fargo cis Co. There he prospered, pros-
pered too well for his personal good; for
having obtained a positionof trust, and
gained the entire ,confidence of his em,
ployers, he suddenly disappeared six
months ago, carrying with him over
$50,000 belonging to the company. His
many friends at the Golden gate mourned
his departure; for he was a good fellow,
reekless with his money, an interesting
talker, and a good story -teller, while his
little suppers at home and at his club were
the talk of society for days after each
event. Mrs. Banks, too, mourned his loss,
but her reasons were widely different, and
she came to thia city salter gathering
enough'evidence in San Francisco to prove
to her that her husband had not been all
that , she had expeeted.: Consulting the
Iawfirm of Messrs Mines, Benner & Will-
cox here, the papers for a divorce werepro-
perly drawn up, but pending information
as to the whereabouts of her recreant hus-
band, she withheld proceedings.
Meanwhile Wells, Fargo cis Co. had sent
detectives after the defaulter, who tracked
him to Tahiti, Sandwich Islands, but the
wily young man fled in a schooner a few
hours before the sleuth -hounds of the law
reached there. From this point the gay
defaulter's Movements much resemble
those of Billy Rid, the illustrious hero
whom Rosini Vokes sings about in her
clever song, " His 'Art was true to Poll."
Like Billy Kid, Mr. Banks
Landed on a strange shore and looked out for an
inn,
When a noble savage lady, of a color rather
shaly,
Came along and accosted him.
"Oh I stay with mo and the king you'll be,
And in a palace loll,
Or I'll eat you liko a filet ;" so ho gave his hand,
did Billy,
But his 'art was true to Poll.
Mr. Banks was certainly in luck. He had
sailed away from Tahiti for a point any-
where out of the grasp of the law, and
favoring gales had directed his craft to the
shores of Rarelonga, Cook's Island, in tbe
South Pacific, where the beautiful but
dusky Queen TJlakea (Makes in English,
but something else in herown picturesque
language) reigned quietly and kindly over
her loving tribe. She is a widow, but
ceased abruptly to grieve for her departed
lord when the handsorae face and manly
bearing and figure of Mr. Banks( oomed up
before her in her quiet, luxurious home.
He was a wanderer, weary and forlorn, and
she a widow, sad and lonely, but with lots
of this world's goods and a large heart,
which she unhesitatingly threw at his feet.
Her kindness won him, coupled with his own
YankeeingenuitY,whichtold him that he had
struck it noh, to use an Americanism, and
he availed himself of the fortunate oppor-
tunity equally as unhesitatingly as it had
been opened to him. There at Rarotonga,
safe from the law's strong grasp, where the
cliinate is glorious and warm all the year
round, Banks is now living, duly domesti-
cated and acknowledged as king, and re-
ceiving the homage of the people, who adore
hira because their beloved Queen has set
them the example. The detectives who
found him there say he expresses no desire
to return to his native country, but seems
satisfied to continue his life of idleness and
power. Mrs. Banks has heard of her hus-
band's fortune and has decided to begin
divorce proceedings ationce. Her counsel,
Edward R. Jones, appeared -before
Judge Lawrence in the upreme
Court chambers recently and obtained
an order for the Publication of a summons
in the suit, a copy Of which will be mailed
to Ring Banka I. at his palace at Raro-
tonga. Although Mrs. Banks has suffi-
cient evidence to Secure a divorce without
reference to her husband'spresent position,
the detectives who have traced Mr. Banks
and discovered his new mode of life will
make affidavits which will be used in the
suit in order to show the man's utter un-
worthiness. Wells, Fargo & Co. have not
given up hoped bringing Banks to justice,
or of obtaining from him the money he
embezzled. Banks' flight at the time of
the discovery of the theft tweeted a sensa-
tion. The publication of his subsechent
movements will probably prove a greater
surprise to the many society people of both
San Francisco andthisaity.who know him
and his wife.

f$ pg you *gee that white-haired, countri,
fled -looking oliap tatting in front of the Red
Lion fletel ?" asked a busineeis man of a
!need whom he met on the ppm* Bide of
the Streat-
JaWell, what pf him ?" answered the
ether,
" He is one of the most peculiar old chaps
I ever met," eaid the first speaker. "Ile
cleans to be possessed of the healing
power,' and his touch is something wonder-
ful. It makes your nerves fairly tingle.
For my part I don't understand it."
This conversation was what led a
patch reporter to look up the man with the
healing in his heads. He Was found sitting
outside the door smoking a regulation tobie
and quietly watching the passing throng.
His hair and beard are snowy- white and
worn short after the country style, while
his dress ia more substantial and comfort-
able than rich and fashionable. Taking a
seat beside him, the reporter asked ;
"Are you the doctor ?"
"No, sir," he answered rather inno-
cently.
"Ain't you the faith cure dootoe that is
stepping here ?"
"No, sir; I ain't no faith cure doctor,
but I can knock a pain out of you in a jiffy
if I sot my hands on you," he replica with
a good deal of animation.
The interviewer was at a lose to know
how to take the old gentleman's answer—
whether he Meant that he would knock the
life out of him for his impertinence, or that
he would kindly relieve his physical suffer-
ings. As he did not take a threatening hold
on the big dpgwood cane that be carries, the
interviewer proceeded to explain: '
"1 was told that you were a faith cure or
pow -wow doctor."
"Pm nothing of the kind. My name is
Josiah Stonebraker, and I live down in
Belmont county, 0., near Demos post -
office, and I don't have to pow -al ow for a
living. I am a farmer, and I do most of
the undertaking business in that section. I
used to make my own coffins, but I don't
do it any more. You fellows up here make
'em cheaper than I can. No, I'm not up here
after coffins; I just came up to see some
old friends and look around. I was here
about twelve years ago, but it doesn't look
like the same place. Then it was so smoky
and dark that I thought I would have to
get a lantern tcesee my way onthe streets."
"Yes, there has been a great change.
But I would like to know something about
this pain cure."
"Well, young man, all that I know is
that when a person comes to me and says:
Si, I've a pain, so and so,' and I put my
hands on the place, the pain goes away, or
if I rub a wart or corn they go away, and
I've known cancers to disappear after I've
rubbed them that way. You needn't lorigh,
young feller," says he solemnly as he laid
his hand on the doubting Thomas' thigh.
It may have been imagination, but his
hand seemed as hot as fire and sent, thrills
to the ends of the toes.
"No,never laugh at such things, for you
don't now what might happen. I have
saved life, and while I do not travel on it,
still I feel that whenever I can relieve
suffering I ought to do it. As I said before,
I don't have to, and am up here just to look
around. Do I believe in faith cures? Of
course I do. Every Christian must believe
in them. In the early days of the Church
all cures were effected by means of the lay-
ing an of hands, anoiting with oil and offer-
ing up prayer. Why may it not be just as
good now? I &a ,1 know anything about
magnetism, galvaulaaa nor none of your
isms. I only know that if you have,a
rheumatic pain there in yoiir knee, a tight-
ness in your chest, or a pain in your head,
I oan drive it out. Now, you can call it
whatever ism you please."
"Do you believe the power is frora God,
or is it your own?"
"Every good and perfect gift is from
God; beeides, we have no power of our
own. In olden times the people possessed
divers gifts; some the gift of prophecy,
some the gift of healing and others the gift
of teaching. I reckon mine is the gift of
healing."
" Did you always have this power?"
"Yes; but I didn't know it until a
gifted healer told me so. He said that I
had a great deal of power, and he showed
me how to use it. My wife, who had been
an invalid for twenty years, and had been in
bed four years, and weighed only about 50
pounds, now weighs 150, and is able to do
hee own housework. Why, sir, the bhuned
doctor bills just kept inc poor, and she got
worse right straight along until I struck
this. Then she quit taking medicine, and
hasn't taken a drop since and is now well
and hearty."—Pittabure Despatch.
Origin of Hand -Shaking.
In the early and barbarous times, when
every savage or semi -savage was his own
law -giver, judge, soldier and policeman,
and had to watch over his own safety, in
default of all other protection, when two
friends or acquaintances, or two strangers
desiring to be friends or acquaintances,
when they chanced to meet, offered each to
the other the right hand alike of offence
and defence, the hand that wields the
sword, the dagger, the club, the tomahawk,
or other weapon of war. Each did this to
show that the hand MS empty, and that
neither war nor treachery was intended. A
Man cannot well stab another while he is
engaged in the act of shaking bandit with
him, unless he is a double -dyed traitor and
villain, and tries to aim a cowardly blow
with the left while giving the right, and
pretending to be on good terms with him.

A correspondent' writes; " One of tha,
chief features of the new fashions seems to
be a revival et the whirs and forms of the
Pat. I saw a boariet the other day, fresh
from Paris, that recalled the 'Jane Clark "
of bygone times. ;It was of pale coffee -
colored blonde lace, and on one side A the
cap,' as it used to be called, was a wreath
of blush roses. On the top of this head-

the same. Another—still prettier—was
composed entirely of unripe cora (green),
over which Was drawn a yell of green tulle.
The front was formed by a wreath of pop-
pies, and on the left side was an aigrette of
poppies—three, placed one above the other,
to mount it up high—with the stalks sh0W-
ing, and the tem poppy the smallest of the
three. The sleeves of a different materiel

an old and a very pretty fashion but great
care must be taken, or the toilet4 will look
patchy. Dun -color and dark brown, stone -
color and pale blue, grey (pure and
simple) and violet, pr dark green, go well
together; but the sleeves should always be of
the more telling color and the richer
material. The present has one great advan-
tage over the past. The inexpensive stuffs
of to -day are prettier than any seen of yore,
more especially the striped ones. 1 have
just seen a material composed of alternate
stripes of white poplin and white, Valen-
ciennes lace, which would make a lovely
wedding dress for a bride in her teens.
Another material was composed of alter-
nate stripes of tussore silk and lace of the
same shade. A frock of that stuff might
be worn with almost any color, and
at the smartest day festivities, and would
outlast two or three of the white canabrics
trimmed with broiderie Anglaise, that
threaten to become the rage, and need to
be so very fresh and clean.—London Lady.

Moses was a Gentleman.
Some alnu4pg stories are told of the
wit and wisdom of London school children.
A class of boys in a boardingschool was
being ;examined orally in scripture. The
historgof Moses had for some time been a
special stud, land one of the examiners
asked:
"What would you say ,pt. the p general
character of Moses?"
"He was meek," said one boy. *
"Brave," said another.
"Learned," added a third boy. a.
"Please, sir," piped a pale -faced, neatly
dressedlad, "ho was a gentleman."
"& gentleman?" asked the examiner,
"how do you make that out? "
The boy promptly replied in the same
thin, nervous voice:
"lease, sir'when the daughters of
Jethro went to the well to draw water the
shepherds came and drove them away, and
Moses helped the daughters of Jethro, and
said to the shepherds : 'Ladies first, please,.
gentlemen.' "—Christian World.
"Seed 'Ern a Doing It."
It is almost impossible for country people
to recognize the dense ignorance as to all
matters agricultural and rural from which
the children of the London poor suffer. A,
day or two ago the parson of a London
parish asked one of the children who had
been boarded out under the new poor law
regulations how he enjoyed the change of
&Wand scenery. "Please, sir," said the
urchin, "I.don't like it at all; instead of
giving me milk out of a nice clean tin they
squeezes it out of a nasty cow—I seed 'oni
a doing it! "—Pall Mall Gazette.
