Wilbur one morn. ing as he sat stirring hit coffee with one hand and holding a plum eake/on his knee with the ,ottthie and looked a -otos the table into the bright eyes of his neat little wife, " Wouldn't it be a good. joke to get haehelor Bill Smiley to takti Widow Watson to Barnum's show. next week ?" " You can't do it,. Ed.; he wont ask her; he's so, awful., by, Why he cant by here the other morning when I wa hanging out some clothes, and he looke over the fence and spoke ; but when 1 shook out.a nightgown he blushed like girl and went awaY." - "I think I can manage it," said Ed.; "but Pll have to lie just a little. Bat then it wouldhtt be much harm under the circurnstainhes, for I know she likes him and he don't dislike her; but as you say, he's so Shy. Pll jhst go over to his place to borrow some bags of him, and if I don't bag him before "come baek don't kiss me for a week, Nelly." So saying, Ed. started, and while he is mowing the fields we A. yin. take a look at Bill Smiley. Efe was rather a good- looking fellow, though his hair and whis- kers showed some gray hairs, aad he had got in a set of artificial teeth. ant everyone said he was a good soul, and So he was. He had as good a hundred acre farm as any in Norwich, witli a new house and. everything comfortable, and if he had. wanted a wife; many a girl _ would have jumped at the chalice like a rooster ata grasshopper. But Bill. wile se bashful—always was—and when Su- san Berrybottle, that he was sweet on (though he never said rtboO" to her) got married to old. Watsan, he -just drawed in his head like a ratidturtle into his shell. and there was no getting him out again, though it had been noticed that, since Susan had become a widow he had. paid more attention to his clothes and ha,d been very regular in his _attendance at the church that the, fair Widow at- , • tend ed.' But hire conies Ed. Wilbur." "Good morning, Mr. Smiley !" " Good 'naming, Mr: Wilbur. What's the news'your way ?': • "Oh, nothing particular, that] know of," said Ed., "-only Barmina'S show that everybody is talking about, and everybecly and his hoirl is going to: I was over to old Sackridet's last night, and 1 see his son 'Gus. has got a new baggy and was scrubbing op los harhees, and he's got that white-faced Colt of his slick, as a seal. I understand he thinks of taking the WicloW Watson to the silo*: He's beeh a -hanging around there a good deal of „late, but I'cl just like to cut him out, I would. Susaa it a nice little -woman, andefleierves a bete ter man than that Young pup �f a fellow, though I E wouldn't blame her much either if she takes him, for she rmist be dreadful loneSorne, and then she has to let her farm out on shares and it isn't half worked, and no one else seems to have spunk enough to speak •up to her. By jingo ! if I were a single man show him atriek or two.',' So saying Ed. 'borrowed_ some .bags ancl startedbaround the corer of the: barn, 'where he had left Bi1i sweeping, and put his ear te knot -1h le and lis- tened, knowing that the bac dor had a habit of talking to himself when any- thing worried him.' " Confound that young Bag -rider 1" said Bill, "what businets has he then, Id like to know. Got a new'buggy, has he? VeII. so have 1; and new hattness, too ! and his horse can't come in sight of mine; and I declare I've half a- mind, to -- Yes, I wiU ! „ go this very night and ask her to go to the silo* with me. I'll show Ed. Wilbur • that I ain't , such a -calf as he thinks I am, if I did - let ohl,Watson get the start of me in the first place 11' Ed. &aid scarcely help laughing out- right, but he hastily hitched the bags on his shoulder, and with a low chuckle at his success, started horoe to tell the news i to Nelly, anti about five o'clock Utah evening they saw Bill go by with hisl horse and buggy on his way to the; widow's. He jogged along quietly, ; thinking of the olds tinbbschool days' —and what a pretty girl Susan was then --and wondering inwardly if he would have more eouraige netv to. talk up to her, until at a distance Of about a smile from her house he came to a, bridge—over a - large creek—ands it SO, happened that just as he reached the middle of the bridge he gave a .tremendous eneeze, and blew his teeth Out of his mouth, and clear over the clash -board, and, striking on the planks they toiled over the side of the bridge and dropped into four feet of water. - Words ernot do justice to poor Bill, or paint the expression of his face as he sat, there ---completely dumbfounded at this startling piece of ill luck. After a -while he stepped oat of the buggy, and getting on his hands ,aacl knees lcioked over into the water. "Yes, there they were," at the bottoM, with a -crowd of little fishes rubbing their noses against them, and Bill wished to goodness that his nose was as close for one ; second. His beautiful teeth that had cost him so note -h, and the show coming on, and no time to get another Set -Land the widow and young Sackricler, Well, he Must . try aitd get them some how—and no time to lose, for some one might come along bncl. ask 'him what he was fooling around there for. He had no notion of spoiling his good clothes by wading in with them on, and besides, if he did that he could not, go to the widow's that night, so be took a look up awl down the road to see that no one was in sight, and . then quietly undressed himself, laying his clothes in the buggy to keep theca clean. Thep he ran around to the bank anci waded into tl* ilitest icy cold water, but his teeth did not chatter in his head, he only -wished they. could. Quietly he waded aloth so as not to stir up the mud, and when he get to the right spot he dropped under water and came -up with the teeth in his hand and re- placed them in his mouth. But hark ! What noise is that' A wagon ! 'and a, little Vog barking withall his might, and. his horse is starting. " Whoa ! Whoa !" said 13i11, as he splaithed and floundered. out throngh mud and water, " confound the horse. Whoa ! Whoa ! Stop, you brute you, stop !" But stop he would not, but went off at a spanking pace with the unfortunate bachelor after him and the little dog yalping after the bachelor. Bill was certainly in capital running costume, but though he strained every nerve he'could not touch the bug- gy or reach the lines that were dragging on the ground. After a while his ping hat shook off the seat and the hind wheel went over it, makingit as fiat as a pan, `...'224. cake. Bill.snatched it as he ran, and after jamining his fist into it st ck all dusty and dimpled, on hishe „ And now he saw the widow's house on the hill, and 4hat, oh What would he da ! oan, and th n making:a desperat ;spurt.

The observer followed, thinkiug that she was seeking 'a cheaper cook -shop, and pitying her. But she stopped at s, store where second-hancl finery was for sale, entered, and in a few momenta returned with a somewhat faded. but still :gorgeous bunch of arti- ficial &wets, consisting of a rose full- blown, a I sprinkling poppy or two, ai d a fair of wheat..
