['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.

"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 afore we get boy, all dre --a-sheathe aHowdy, Jectl how Christmas Of course the sIim, throw the Jamey wuz the wonder There she a-sittin' up 1 cheer, es throne. to the door, out broke la sed up, clean as olean, an' t tie top of his voice, F�nie! howdy, Uncle en!

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.

"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 customers. au' soon we heard of 'ern as •surprising prosperous.
