I'a not • practical writer, and I don't know how to produce what the fashionable au- thors call "grand pea elects," but I be- ieve 1 can make you understand bow it was. And that is all that is necessary. Leeman had sprined his ankle- -that's my brother -and he could not go to town with the load of russet apples that was al- ready piled into barrels, and stood wait- ing under the big red shed. "It's too bad!" said he. "Those rus- set apples are worth a deal at this time of year, and we shall mite the market day!" "Cadet you ask Neighbor Hutton to take them?" said my mother. "Neighbor Hutton is a dealtoo sharp a practitioner for Inc," said Leeman. "It's a hard thing to ay about a neighbor; but I can't trust his honesty." "Mr. Hall?" "Hall would be casting it up in my face for the next six months, that I ask a favor of him," said Leeman. "No, I'd rather lose the apples than lose, my inde- pendence. But it is too provoking that I must needs have slipped on that piece of orange -peel, now, of all times in the world. I have been saving up these ap- ples all the winter with a special eye to this particular [market day." "Leeman," said I, "I'll go'" "Nonsenel" said Leeman. "But why not?" said I. "Old Pomp is as gentle as a kitten, and I know . every inch of the way." "But there are the Red Swamp Woods -that desolate stretch of three miles, with never a house on either side of the way, except the deserted cabin where the old negro hanged himself, twenty years ago," argued my mother. "Who cares for the Red Swamp Wods?" said I, valiantly. ''I never was afraid of frogs and whip -poor -wills, and I'm not going to begin now. Lil, will you go out and help me harness, early in the morning, and-" "Oh, I wish I was going, too: Can't I go, Kate'?" cried Lil, my hoyden younger sister with her blue eyes glitterit)g with delight at the idea of anything unusual. "`tuff'" cried I imperiously. "Of Course you can't. Haan't Pomp a heavy load enough, without your ninety pounds of mischief loaded on. Besides you must stay home and take care of mother and Leeman, and flnieh the chintz curtains for the big west chamber; for Colonel Hay may conte home at any time now." Col. Hay was our city boarder --a gentleman who had been recommended by his physician to try the fresh, pine - scented breezes of the Shawaugeenta Mountains, and whom' our rector had re- commended to the.Icy Spring Farm. We were not rich, although mother and Leeman had managed the farm eco- nomically and well since father's death, and the weekly addition to our income would be something worth considering. The idea of a city boarder was very pleasant, too, and Icy Spring Farm was a very lovely spot, although we seldom allowed ourselves to think of that. So, after a little, I coaxed mother and Leeman to consent, and the next morning Lil and I were up long before daybreak, harnessing old Pomp, and get- ting ready for the day's journey. By the time the red, level light of the rising sun touched old Pomp's gray mane with radiance, I was driving through the Red Swamp, where the maple tree, from which it took its name, were all aglow with crimson blossoms, and thrush- es and robins called each other with flute -like notes. Well, I managed splendidly. I knew where I t.as going when I started. I sold the six barrels of russets to the man who kept the Park Hotel for $4 apiece, and that was more than Leeman himself had anticipated. "Be careful you don't get robbed now," said the man, as he put the bills into my little portmonnaie. "Robbed!" said I, with a laugh." "Why, who should rob me?" "Oh, I don't know," said the landlord. "There's alway tramps and burglars around. They're • crop that don't be- long to any particular season of the year " As I turned away -I did not notice it at the tune, but it came back, like a sud- den flab across the dark shield of mem- ory--• man who was lounging upon the step looked hard at me. I colored • little, and thought to my- self: "Well, he will know me the next time he see me," and then forgot all abort it: for I had mother's black boo- bies* to match, and Life swift hat to buy, and some dinner chits to select, and the doctors preparation to fiU out at the druggists so that it was well on be 7 whim i Weed old Pomp's hood home - wart., in the suburbs of the town, with a tains of elation which was quite par- donable when •.ne emendate fay eTpM't- dem en the !•arket ie has mid env se utpliom_ly pod eooees11 itis sunshine was warn: and s'taD un sae hie' .wait lied 1 was rasher gad when tri ease to the cool ah•daws of the Red *Whip, where the beads were silent In do nen+ heats.

"Are you going towards Lennox Cross Roeder said L "Yes! IThen jump in; I'm going in that direction too, and I'll give you a lift." He thanked me in • sunt, drooping sort of way, and seated himself on the board at the back of the wagon, towed which I pointed with the" handle of my whip. "You look ill," said I. "I am not ill," he said, with a smother- ed cough. "Only tired with my long walk, I did not know it was so far to Lennox." "I suppose you are going for work?" said I. "Deacon Brierly has • good many hands just now in his tobacco fac- tory." • "No," said he, "I am not work." I asked no more questions. I did not like the idea of a man's shrouding him - in ministry in that sort away; and as I glanced around once more a sudden re- velation came across me like a blase of light. It was the same man who had eyed nm so sharply on the steps of the Park Hotel. Then I remembered my mother's words of caution. Leeman's reiterated exhor- ations, the landlord's friendly - words of warning. And, in spite of all, I had deliberately thrust my silly head into the jaws of danger. There was only one thing re- maining for me to do -to get out of the scrape as well as I ceu1d. I cast about in my mind how to do this: and presently, with beating heart, I dropped a little paper parcel of blue rib- bon into the road. "Oh," I cried, checking up Pomp, "I've dropped my parcel. Would - would you mind getting out after it?" "Not in the least," said the 'tramps; and he climbed laboriously out of the wagon. He had scarcely set his feet on the ground before I Lid the whip to old Pomp with a will, and rattled away over the long, straight road at >r pace that seemed positively marvelous to me and Pomp both. So we left our passenger behind, in the middle of the Red Swamp, I could see him standing there, blank and astound- ed, the sole figure in the long perspec- tive, as I ventured to look back; but I oily whipped Pomp the harder, and never let , him 'bate his pace until we were out of the Red Swamp. "I've out-generalled him," said I to myself, "and I've saved Leeman's- $24. I'm sorry about the blue ribbon; but it is only a yard and a quarter, after a11, and I can trim Lits hat with something else." They were delighted at my prowea when I related my adventure at home, Leeman declared I was a capital market - woman: mother shuddered at the idea of the desperate tramp alone with me in the tangled wilderness of the Red Swamp; Lil declared I was a heroine. "Wasn't it a good idea for Kate to drop the blue ribbon, and send him after it?" said she. "Kate was a goose ever to let him into the wagon," said Legman, knitting his brow. "Kate must n't go by herself such a long distance again," said mother. And I drank my cup of tea, and rest- ed myself and went out afterward to see the new brood of darling little yellow chicks which Old Speckle had brought off during my absence. I was on my knee in the hen house, feeding them scalded meal from the palm of my hand, when I heard mother calling me from the house. "Kate! Kate! come up at once! Colonel Hay has arrived" "Colonel Hay;" I start up. looking with blank dismay at my calico dress and the mal stains on oy hands. However, there was nothing for it but to obey the summons; so I went up to the house. A sort of blur seemed to some before my eyes, as I entered the sitting -room, and heard mother saying: "Colonel Hay, this is my eldest daughter, Kate" And then the War cleared away, and I knew the sus that I had twice beton' MID that day -the pale, tired traveler whom I had so recklessly abandoned in the middle of the Red Swamp "i -I beg your pardon, Colonel," I cried out impulsively.

A BM of assay semis ewe of The autumn styles are by ne mems wanting in beilliaaey; indeed, they are, if anything, more geosgaous than the striking oosebin•tioas which obtained last summer. Ihinnets and hats vary somewhat in skips, but more iz mate- rial. All bonnets are very assail and low, fitting closely to the head. The finest are of silk pluah and velvet, or smooth beaver crowns with fluffy fur brims and facings. The small " poke " bonnet is seen in the winter ,materials, but needs a fair young face beneath its aspiring brim. Reports' from New York and Boston say that the Derby hat is a thing of the past, but it is still seen in black and navy blue in our streets, usu- ally accompanying the quaker suits or peasant dresses of pressed flannel. Wide brimmed hats are of the picturesque Reuben or Gainsborogh shapes, and the flexible brims are made to aa,tme the shape most becoming to the wearer. Smooth felts have been almost entirely superseded by the fur felt or beavers, with rough "fur" nearly an inch in length. These are not furnished with linings, the furry beaver being consider- ed more " Loney " than any satin, velvet or plush which could be used. The in- side of the brim is frequently of a con- trasting Dolor, the inside of a cream hat being deal brown, dark grey, a rich dark wine color, or even old gold. There are smaller hats in the English turban style with full crown and rolling brim. "Tani O'Shanter" cap has " put in an appear- ance " in Detroit. The shape is some- what akin to that of the caps worn by midshipmen in the navy, having the same close fitting land about the head and the large flat round crown project- ing beyond the brim. Theta are trim- med with a bird's head pressed closely against the side and two feathers falling from the back; or a twisted band of wide plaid ribbon finishing the edge and a large flat bow or rosette. with pearl or gilt ornament, on the left side on the crown. They may be becoming and charming "to the beauty loving eye," but it requires a vivid imagination to pronounce them so, as they give a bald- headed American eagle sort of expres- on to most faces. It is not likely that this style will prevail for any great length of time among our fashionablee, as any enterprising girl by the aid of a pair of scissors and her native ingenuity can manufacture one, and they will probably become too common. Satin ties are fas- tened with ornaments, which are very large and conspicuous, so much so that an exchange fears the belles of the season will have •" corns on their chins." A favorite ornament is a large hoop of gold, from which depends a small pig or a " baby elephant," also in the same (presumably) precious metal. A wide brimmed fur beaver in black, also mark- ed =35, was trimmed with a very long heavy black plume, falling from the side front quite two-thirds of the way around the crown, the remaining space being filled in with a wide Roman scarf, while another equally handsome feather was laid across the reversed brim, forming a very graceful and soft setting for a piquant face. Plumes are "all the rage' for both hats and bonnets, flowers being entirely neglected, although very beauti- ful and artistic apeeimens were to be seen in a show (ase. Jetted plumes are still min favor; birds' heads, wings and breasts are also used, but preference is given to the long, full cnrled ostrich plume. These range in prices from $4.50 to figures limited only by the capacity of a pocket -book. Shaded plume are excep- tionally handsome, being shown in tints varying from a very deep brown with a suspicion of orange about it, to the lightest sulphur yellow, or from a deep wine color having a tinge of brown, to a delicate cram. A broad bricpmed fur 'beaver has its left side caught against the crown and held in place by a tiger's paw with gilt claws; from this starts • long plume shaded from deepest brown to the lightest tint of amber, sweeping around the crown and and falling low behind. Tigers' or bean' pews with gilt claws promise to be popular or turbans of velvet or plush. Narrower rimmed hats have the brims caught to the crown beneath a large knot of plush, from which spring four or even five short, fuU tips, falling over the crown. Old gold, rich dark garnets and plum colors, and " Pompeian red ;' are the favorite colors. Bonnets of crimson plush with tie and plume of the same glowing hos, are seen. Mane, Oarr., Feb. 16, 1810.
