"You must know," ,said Torn, "that
to the north-east of Brantford town is a
. region known by the very unromantic
name of Smoky Hollow, famed for its
fine farms, its snug dwellings, its stately
matrons and blooming damsels, atid it
was into this region that I chanced to
wander tome -years ago in search of a de-
linqnent debtor of the man who employ-
ed me in Brantford, and it was while on
this expedition that I celled at a farm -
house to make enquirieel and was met at '
the door by one of the prettiest girls it
had ever been my geed fortune to isee. I
was possessed of a heart at that time
and I may say amyet poseessed of one al-
ways very susceptible to the attractions
of beauty, and as I caught a glance of these
laughing blue eyes 1 felt a thrill go
through me and knew that I was struck
with lave at first sight. I could ina.ke
no excuse to linger, nor would my natur-
al bashfuhiess have illoWed me to do it,
and having made my enquiries and got
my answers, I departed, with the image
of that fair face imprinted on my heart
as faithfully as Artist 'Parks could have
transferred itto paper. On my return
to Brantford. I lost the time in trying to...
'find some one who knew the family Who
-
lived in that particular house and
thought myself fortunate to find in the
person of a merchant of .my acquaintance
who knew the family as customers of his.
He !make highly of them, said their name
was Peppersault, . and promised that
- should occasion offer he would give me
an introduction! For a month after this
most of my spare tine was spent in
haunting that merchant and his store en -
til I had no doubt he was heartily .tired
of me. But my time came at length.
The old lady ' and. her two daughters
came shopping and my friend manceuvred
around and managed to get me an intro-
duction to them. After this I had a fair
wind. and pleasant sailing for a time and
made famous headway. L saw, them
several times on the street or in the store.
I met the girls at a party in town,'had a
-. niee little chat. with the darling Jenny,
and at length (oh happy day !) the dear
old lady was so good as to ask me out to
spend anevening with them. I was in
raptures., 1 went to my friend, the mer-
chaift, and confided to him this happy
state of affairs ; but he rather 000led Me
off by saying that I did not/know theeld
gent yet ; said he was rather a cranky
old chap, unless I could get into his
good books, and if I made one mistake,
I would have vett little chance of win-
ning the daughter. • How shall I get
around him ?' ' Where are the rocks and
Shoals that I must avoid, and where are
the pleasant barbels into which I may
waft my rich 'cargoes of soft soap .and.
harmonious opinions.?' At this speech of
mine he was taken with uncontrollable
and unaccountable laughter, he slapped.
me on the back, he slapped his own legs,
-
he put himself into all sorts of shapes,
and laughed again until I thought he
really would burst himself.. However,
he controlled. himself at length and said
he would give me a few hints. ' 'In the
firat place,' said he, ' Mr. Peppereaelt
is in religion a Baptist, one of the wet
test kitid. -In politics he is in ttld.-
fashioned Tory4, and help believes in five
schools and. in book farming. But if you
want to win his heart at one bold stroke
just make hirn a rily present of a bottle
Of choice old brandy.' One night, short-,
ly after this, I decked myself out in mi
best suit, I tucked the bottle of brandy
into an inside coat pocket, and wibh the
aid of an old horse and buggy, kindly
lent me by a friend, I transported my
flattering heart and, bashful. body to the
mansion of the Peppersaults., On my ar-
rival I was . ushered into the presence of
the family and beheld the old gentleman,
for the first time, and I assure you I was
not as favorably impressed with my firse
sight of him as I had -been mith that of
, his daughter. I was introduced to him,
and Met with rather ai chilly reception,
but nothing daunted I sat down wichthe
determination of getting into his good
graces if at all passible. After a few re-
marks abouti the weather and the like I
complimented him upon the fine appear-
ance of his farm, and said I: had often
heard him spoken of as one of the hest
farmers in the country. The old
seemed pleased. I said that men who
read the agricultural publications of tbe
dayad a great advantage over others
li
who were content to blunder on in the
dark . 'Well,' said he, ' I used. to h
. the name of agricultural papers, b
squire Johnson lent me -some lately, and
got me to promise to read them, and I
• must say that there is some sense in
them.' I thought to myself" Brave,
Tom ! you're just the - chap to come
around the old fellow.! Try him again r
Then I said, '1 see, Mr. Peppersault,
that you are having a new school house
,built near you. Such buildings are a
credit to the country, and I am sure that
with our excellent system of tree schools,
now so generally prevailing, the young
of our land enjoy excellent privileges in
the way Of education.' 'Drat their free
schools!' said he,. 'I've edicated my
young ones, and I deal see why I should
be taxed for other people's in my old
days.' 1 felt Thad /truck a wrong key
that time, but trusted that I could. make
it right yet. After a bit 1 asked. him
'how he liked Mr. Finlayson's course. in
Parliament, and. if he -did not think it
about time that that long-legged, long -
armed, nonsensical Scotchman should be
turned out, and some smarter man put
in his place 1' ite wheeled. around to-
ward me with a look that was meant to
annihilate me, and. said, 'Young man, I
ain a supporter of Mr. Finlayson.; I
think him an honor to our Reform, Party,
and I'd. thank -you to be more respectful
in yourgemarks /Art him.' I felt as
though buckets full of hot blood and cold
.1
water were chasing ea h other through
my system, and woul have given worlds
to recall what I said. Of course you will
think that common sense would have
told me that I had been willfully misin-
• formed. by that wag of a storekeeper, and
change My programme accordingly. But
when did a fellow in love ever have a
full supply of common sepse ? You
know a horse when it gets stirted to run
away will run full tilt against- a stone
wall and break its neck, so I having got
on the wrong track seemed doomed to
blunder on. An awkward. pause now
ensued. while the old gent .snatched the
- . Weekly Globe from his pocket and began
to read. Then after some little talk with
, the old lady and a glance at my fair en-
slaver I made another effort to propitiate
him. I asked him timidly if he had
seen the Rev. Dr. Davidson's book 071
Baptism, then' just published. He said
'No,' pretty short 1 said it was a very
able work and set forth the good ola doi).
trine of immersion in contrast with the
absurdbelief in sprinkling and infant
baptism., in a way that must convince
orlery drie whohad any brains to work
on. ',Then I hain't got any brains,' said
he, for I don't 'sae but that a man can
git to heaven through the good old Epis-
copal Methodist gate as well as any other
way. None* of your Water -Cure Doc-
tors for me,' and he struck the paper oh
his knee a viciout slap which had it fallen
on the nasal ergan of the Rev.
aforementioned ;would have ca,us
to sprikle something with his own
tictor
d him
blood.
The old lady and, the girls looked at me
in dismay, as much -as to say, Now
you've done it !' I jumped to my feet
and as a last resort determined to try the
brandy. I asked the favor of al word
with him in private.. He stared but
did not move. I repeated • the re-
quest and moved toward. tthe entrance
hall. He followed. Having got him
out there[ produced the bottle and with
a word of praise as to the quality of its
contents, begged him to accept it. This
was the most unfortunate venture I had
yet made. was insulted in his own'
-house,' be said ; he raved, he almost
swore ; he snatched the bottle from my
hand, he opened the outer door aid mo-
tioned me to try the fresh air optside,
and as I went hastily down the steps,
my speed accelerated. by the propelling
power of his cowhide boot, he planted the
bottle between my shoulders with a force
that did credit to his ancient muscle. I
need scarcely say that I returned to
Brantford a sadder-tnan than I had left
it, and it was scene time before I maw the
inside of that house again. I did- see
Jenny occasionally, though, and on a
pleasant afternoon about two Months af-
ter;my first visit I met 'her brother inm
town with his tea,- and having ehatted
with him a little he said that hie father
had just gone to Waterloo to collect the
rent of a farm he had there; would be
awiy two or three days, and asked me
to take a ride out with him and tee the
folks. 1 consented. I got there, was
cordially received, took tea - With the
family, chatted gallantly with the old.
lady and the girls and was extremely
happy. After tea we had some - music.
I was singing a nice little love. sopg and
in the tenderpassages was casting sweet
glances at Jenny when the scund ,of bug-
gy wheels came rattling down the lane
and young Pepparsault looked_ out and
returned with the one word; 4Dad !'
Consternation- was depicted on every
face, and. then the old ladsaid I" had
better step into the kitchen a -little while;
soinething unpleasant might °emir, etc.
I was hurriedly shown into the kitchen,
all dark and quiet, and sat down to await
,the time when the old man would retire
for the night, and I could have a little
quiet cenversation with Jenny before tak-
ing my leave. It seems the old chap had
met his tenant on the way, and having
got his rent, returned thus unexpectedly.
He sat down, said he had had his tea,
and then got up and muttered something
abeut having left his specs, and started
toward the kitchen. They dare not
stop him, for to do tio would have arous-
ed suspicion. 1 heard his step approach-
ing. I shoved up a window and sat on
the siltwith my feet out, but was sur.
prised to find that the house was built on
a hill side, and. that I was some ten feet
from the ground : I at there With titte_
ears open, determined that if he entertd
the room I would jump at all hazards.
Hark! he stops - his hand is upon the
latch, when suddenly the window falls
with*, crash behind me. I jump, but
am suddenly brought up with a jerk.
My coat-tail is fast under the window,
and there I hang helpless." "It seems
that the old chap was aware of my pres-
ence in the house when he entered it
that night; the hired boy who took his
horse had told him, and he marched
straight to the window, and. seeing the
plight I was in he took out his pocket
knife and maliciousli great trian-
gular piece out of my coat tail; then
hoisted the •:window and let me drop
plump into a puneheon of ramwater
that stood. :directly beneath, and. as I
scrambled out he said with a chuckle,
My young friend, I wish you good
night, and as I do not intend that you
shall ever visit my family. again, I will
give them this '4e lock of your coat tail
to remember yeti by.' I did not stay to
hear any more of his remarks, but took
the road for home, laying the duet as I
went like a tetra watering cart with the
•water from. my streaming garments.
How I got home that night, and what a
cold I had. afterward, I will .n.nt attempt
to describe ; but all my mishaps did not
cool My love for Jenny, but, on the con-
trary, I was more than ever determined
to win her. But how? That was the
puzzling qiiestion that occupied my
thoughts day and night. Her father .

nor the .Scotch neither. I hope (and he
emphasized. tbe word hope) that my wo-
men are not the kind to'be taken with a
chap with a pair of patent leather boots,

soented handkerchief, like some of them
'ere Tem -fools front town. Come right
along! no excuse.' Thus. urged; I con-
sented to dine with him; as we neared
the house 1 saw a roguish pait of eyes
peeping slyly out, but no sign of recogni-
tion passed between us. On reaching
the door Mr. Peppersault diked what
nanie he should give me.. ‘. Ye may ca'
me Jammas Rutherford,' said I; and we
entered. He introduced me to the fa-
mily, and It was Worth dollars to 3ee the
expreesion of their faces as they gazed at
me inimy transformed state and listened
to my outlandish talk: I could have
laughed heartily myself if I had dared.
I got seated at the table beside ,Tennie,
and managed te slip a hotel() her, and -
tot a touch of her hand in return that
was worth a hundred dollars or so,
.keeping up a rattling conversation with
the .old people, while the girls were like
to ,choke themselves with suppressed
laughter.. Mr. P. asked the how long I
had been out from the old country, and
how I liked Canada. I said it Was
" mair than two years sin' I had seen
the heather hills o. auld Scotia;' and as
for Canada, I liked it weel enough in
the main, though there was some things
that I didna like alhegither. ' Free
schools, for instance; was it right to gar
a young fellow like me pay tax for other_
people's bairillk ?' and I glanced boldly at
the head of the house. He was with
me this time, said that it was a shame
and an. imposition! But here I caught
the old lady's eye in a warning glance
that I was on dangerous ground, and
had better stop. After dinner I went
tto buying cattle again; concluded a bar:
(min for a couple of steers and a cow,
agreeing to call for them next day.
When I had got about a mile from the
house and was quite out of sight under
cover of a piece of woods, I gave vent to
my pent up feelings in a laugh that rang
through Sam. Partington's sugar bush
and sent the black squirrels scuttling
thtouah the trees, :and taking off my
cap, I slapped it on my hand. and con-
gratulated famm.as on the success of his
expedition. The next day I walked
over for my cattle. I dined with the
Peppersaults again, evidently growing in
favor' with the old gentleman while the
daughters seemed inclined to turn up
their ;loses at the raw Scotchman, which
°inclination the old gentlemeac aforesaid
.promptly frowned. down. After this I
made a rapid succession of visits to
Smoky Hollow. I bought a few sheep
and. another cow. I got seed grains of
different kinds from Mr. P., and at
length made no scruple of coming with-
out any errand whatever. The old man
always seemed pleased. to see me, and,
despite my queer dialect, we had. many
pleasant conversations, and I need
scarcely say that my opinions on politics,
religion &c., were in harmony with his,
and he :teetered to his wife and daugh-
ters that I was a very sensible young
fellow, and to make a short story of it,
intthe course of six- months I had got
the ancient Peppersault's consent to
wed his daughter Jennie. We were
matried quietly- in Brantford in my right
name, and I took my bonnie wife
straight home to my own place, not car-
ing to have a regular wedding 'at her
father's lest something might -transpire
to arrest the cup of happiness in its
transit between the cup .and. the lip.
One night shortly after this COMIUMITia-
tion of my hopes, Jennie and I were sit-
ting in our little house all so snug when
I suddenly burst out into, a hearty laugh.
Jennie looked up from her sewing and
said, 'Tom, you 'rogue, what imschief
are you up to Pow -?—no fresh tricks
upon poor pa, I hope ?' 'Well,' said I,
I was just thinking of him- and wonder-,
ing how we were to let him know that;
Jammas Rutherford, the Scotch farmer,
and Tom Rattleton,. of the coat-tail ad-
venture, are one and the same. Now
I'll tell you my plan. You know your
father and. mother are coming over to see
us to -morrow. You just mend that
t of mine by sewing in a .patch of
bright red flannel, and we'll hang it
where he can't help seeing it, and wait
the result. The coat whs fixed as I
proposed, and laid away. The old folks
came' and I took my father in-law for a

to hang the coat in the entrantethalL
On -our return toward the house I made
an excuse to visit tbe stables, and sent
him in alone. He entered, and. Jennie
lay in ambush to watch him. The coat
took his attention at once; he took out
his epees, put them on his nose, and ex-
amined. the garments with a wonderful

her intown, and my eyes longed for the
sight of her as the lost traveler in a des-

siderable amount Of money left me by a
relative, and with the coming of money.
Came as if by magic a plan whereby to
circumvent -old Peppersault and marry

Thomas' Eclectric OU,
WORTH TEN TIMES ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. DO YOU
KNOW ANYTHING OF IT ? NOT, IT IS
TIME YOU DID.
There are but few preparations of medicine
which have withstood the impartial judgment of
the people * for any great length of time. One of
these hi THOMAS' ELECTRIC OIL, purely a prepar-
ation of six of some of the best oils that are known,
each one possessing virtues of its own. Scientific
physicians know that medicines may be formed of
several ingredients in certain fixed proportions of
greater power, and producing effects which could
never result from the use of any one of them, or in
different cambinations. Thus in the preparation
of this oil a chemical change takes place, forming
a compound which could not by any possibility be
made from any other combination or proportions
of the same ingredients, or any other ingredients,
and entirely different from anything ever before
made, one which produces the most astonishing re-
sults, and having a wider ran& of application
than any medicine ever before discovered. It con-
tains no alcohol or ,other volatile liquids, conse-
quently, loses nothing by evaporation. Wherever
applied you get the benefit of every drop ; whereas
.with. other preparations nearly all the alcohol is
lost in that way, and you get only the small quan-
tity of oils which they may contain.
