"Suppose I wuz to ask one o' the
Whiteside girls r he. suggested ; "they
aro party,: and smart too."
aOh yea, and they'll eve a kiss for
the askin' to you or the uext one that
comes aloxig."
['I don't like that," says Charley, very
sternallotie o' your fast flirts fur me !
That'savhat I use' to like about you,
Janey. Every fellow hed to keep his
distance. Now the I3iscoe girls are ef a
very proper kind. Wouder how it would
do fur me to apply there la'
'Jenny ia eugaged to Roland Selph ;
an' as fur Leila, elle wouldn't wipe her
shoes on a Western wheat farmer." -
"An' es to Polly Ann Carpenter ?"'
"She is a waster. abe eau throw out

seeminquite injured, it looks es if yore
don't weeit me ter git a wife. You try
to set me ageu every girl on the perarer.
Tears like you can't bear to give me up
to anybody else."
"You are -quite, mistaken, Mr. Winn,"
cries poor Jitney, her voice rain' higher
with every word-qztite inistahen, I do
ashore yoa.: I've no objection to your
havin' forty wiveii. You might go to
Utah an' join the Mormons; theu you
• coald try all kinds, you know -he !ha
he/ ha!"
When I heard this wild laughint I
knew it wuz time to walk in with the
camphor bottle m hand.
•"I think you hed better make your-
self scarce," says 1 to Cglialey Winn,
with a very iiperieh look. Piekin.' eap
his hat, he sneaked oat o' the room, an'
out o' Janey Burridge's life. 4' I may
test as well meutiou that it witzitt six
months efore he wuz married 'to Ma-
he:1y Thing.
V. -UNEXPECTED THINGS HAPPEN TO
JANEY.
Janey didn't seem ter git any better
as the days passed on. She took no
intrust in anything in the heavens above
nor in the earth beneath. Tile doctor
said he couldn't do no more fur her, au'
except to make het pretty deef , all the
quineen sae took diciu't have a mite of
effect. Seein' her so dwindlin'
pinina / set my wits ter work. Tue
• ought ter have somethin' to en-
gage her time an' her mind. An' Little
Mary Jane's idea as to the knittant
machine wuz fur frona bein' a iejadish-
na one. How to git the pm chate•money
wuz the trouble. The thought come to
me that Lex Farley alight jet as well
as not help in the matter; so I wrote
him a letter on my own book, as the
B ayin' is, an' preseuted the case. By.
the next Saturday came an answer
sayin' he would be proud, ter git the
machine out an' out tor Janey, bet fur
Inc to say nothin' about it tail it had
arrove. In the same mail wuz a letter
ter rne from poor little Elick, aesayin'
thusly:
"DRAn AUNT FONIE,-Psilass swore off
till he gits J ariey's machixie. I. am a-
helpin' him, an' Leman' the photo-
graphira bueiness very fast. Give ney
respex ter Janey. I am very sorry that
she got hurt. Yours truely, E. FARLEY."
"Seems to me you're gittin' a lot o'
letters," says Eben when he handed 'em
to me; but I only smiled mysterious,
an' said not a word.
I never had seen Janey so low as she
wuz the day before Thanksgivina I
wuz bustlin' round preparint fur mei'
day's dinner, but she barely raised her
eyelids from her cheeks"What hey I
ter be thankfel fur?" she would say
when I would try to hearten her up
somewhat.
Before night, however, janey took
back them words o' hers; fur old Mr.
Thing, passin' by on his way from
town, stopped with a box oaten the ex-
press office directed to "Miss Janey
Burridge."
Fur roe !" cries Jamey, very inbredu-
lous, but her eyes sparklin' as I hadn't
seen 'ern since her accident.
We all assembled while Jed knocked
off the wooden ' alats, an' untied the
strings; far be the hurry what it may,
the man wuz that careful that out a
string he would not.
An' lo an' behold! there wuz the
prettiest kaittinarnachine ever made,
with a card:
Compliments and Respects
of
Alecander Farley
• to
Miss *Taney Burridge.
Jamey wuz pleased enough ter cry,
an' I don't believe she slept a wink that
night far longin' ter try her hand on -the
little beauty. The aunts didn't lose no
time in °amain' over to the house as
soon as they got wind o' Janey's pre-
sent. An' sister Charity, who under-
stood- how to work machines, offered to
stay a week, if need be, to put Janey in
the way o' runitin' hers; which showed
she wuzn't a. bad kind o' WOH1a11, in spite
o' bein' so aggressive in the way o'
From that time janey's health an'
spirits -improved considerable. She
tarried out mittens an' socks very fast;
an' the very heat pair wuz sent as a
present to Lex Farley. As far me,
seein' how Well my idea, had worked,
an' though riot as a rule approviir of
ridiut a horse to death, still I
thought, while his hand was in, Lex
might as Welt as not lay up more tree -
sures in heaven. So I ue au' wrote an-
other letter, sayin' that it Janey had a
wheel -cheer, it would. be the greatest
ehing iu the world fur her to 'ease her
pain, an' enable her ter git about. No
answer came to this; but I waited
patient, thinkint somethin' might CQMO
of it. An thee did.
Christmas had come, an' ave all had
bundled up in a, big wagon, an' gone
over ter Amos Burridge's to dinner -
except, of couree, poor Janey, who wuz
left iu the charge of one o' the neigh-
bors' claildree, little Sally Wysnicker,
with a nice' dinner ready cooked for
tem, and set out in the dresser.
The day wore along as them family
spreads usually do, an' about four ot
-clock we abated fur home. Now it's a
very curious thing, but aa we reached
the corner o' Mr. Burridge's wheat
field, I had. the most flutterhf sensation
erbout the heart, es if somethin' wuz
a-goin' ter happen. Itwouldn't , hey
surprised me a mite ter 'iley found the
house burnt up, fur I felt the same way
twice previous in /35y life -once pre.
cedin' to one Jersey cow bein' gored, an'
agie before my partner wuz taken with
the dropsy that carried him off. How-
soroever, ther' wuz the bouse safe an'
sound ; aa' es we neared the gate, the
wind bore the Bound of laughin' to our
vars. Yery curious, we hurried on; but

"Lex -Lex Fa ley, don't say that !"

with such entreaty as I never heerd
'from mortal lips.
"You have g ne without it," she
says, "from sorro v an pity -fur me, an'

than you give to your Maker I"
It cametike a bhunder-clap. I never
would 'a believed Janey Burridge could
have spoken so beautiful. • We wuz all
moved beyond epbech. But, after a
little, Lex Farley says: won't forgit
your words, Janey. God bless you fur
them !"
Jed rose up n' passed his hands
acrost his eyes. 'My friends," said he,
"it is Christmas iight. Let us unite in
prayer."
An' 'medal' roilind Janeya cheer, we
prayed in silence, an' sornethin' seem-
ed ter whispettht a good new year wuz
a-dawnin' far us all.
Well, well, jLe Farley wnz in no
hurry to git itWay An' one day he ask-
ed our Taney to narry him.
"He says, Aunt Fonie," said Janey
to me, "that I cab help him -I, -a, poor
lame creature that never expeoted to
be of use or pl asure ter any livin'
soul."
"He loves you, ear," I said, pattin'
her dark head.
"I can hardly- 4eheve it," she said,
in a falterin' way. In"lie sari so many
stka,nge things, Au t Fonie : that to be
with me helps An' heartens him; that

"Don't you thi k," says he, very
timid. -"that folks will say lie wanted
me from pity, an' hat I took him from
•pride?"
"Fools may," ea a I, very decisive.
The end of it wuz that she put him
off six mouths, du in' whici time he
wuz as sober se a hose, ant then she
married him. They went tet St. Louis
ter live, an' he got a run o' fashionable

The Dog, the 1Raven and the

A dog, finding a joint of nantton ap-
parently unguarded by a negligent
raven, stretched hirise1f before it with
an air of intense sa isfactiou.
"Ah said, he, alternately smiling
and stoppiag up th4 smiles with meat,

"this is an instrum ut of salvation to

which I love to perf arm."
"I beg your pard n," said the bird.

"I detect no flaw n your abstract of

Thereupon he lei urely consumed the

out his legs diverge tly, and died. For
