"My dear Nellie, how glad I am to see you, I was so anxious; cousin Minnie tells me that since; I went aWay you have been ' flirting desperately with a farmer. Can [it be possible that you could so far forget your- self to toy with the iron heart of an -honest son of toil ?" • , "There, if you yeill just stop and take breath, I will at once relieve your anxiety. I have no proof that he has an iron heart, but I can - prove that I have not been flirt ing," and as she spoke she held up a deli- cate white hand on which something un- mistakably glistened— " and, furthermore, as we have never had any secrets between us, I need not blush to tall you that before the May buds have opened, this little circlet will—" ' "Nellie Hammond I Am I dreaming;? or are you a raving lunatic ?" " Neither, my dear; I am in my right mind ; and you are just as wide awake as you. were the day your brother Luke brought Hilliard & Harper's head clerk home with him to spend the vacation." It was someone else's turn to blush now ; but her anxiety for her friend was not lessened._. , "Bat, Nellie dr ea, consider ; you, who ka[ve no idea of work, further than keeping your own room tidy,—you have never taken a thought about bread and butter until it was set before you on the table, to think of you milking cows and boiling pork and cabbage.; the. idea is preposterous. Your papa has taken so much pains to edu- cate you,too,and what now will you do with your music, and drawing and accomplish- ment?" "Well, Mabel, I have no time to answeir all your pestions now, but I think where there's a willthere's a way; and as for accomplishments, I think they are just as necessary for the farmer's. wife as _ for the merchant's , But we will not quarrel about it, 'for I want to invite you out in straw- berry time, when I hope to have the pleas- ure of serving you that luxury with rich sweet cream from my own dairy. But I must be going noW. I have same more calls to make for the sae purpose that brought me here. I am ging to have a small party to -morrow eveni g. My farmer will be there, cowhides a d all, so prepare yourself to be shocked w'th his uncouth manners and his enormous feet and hands." With a mischevious twinkle in her eye, she put her arm around her friend's neck nd gave her a hearty kiss, A rippling 1 ttle laugh, a light step tripping down the airs, and Mabel felt that something like unshituf had just left her, and surely she could never be quite happy again if Nellie buried herself alive in a farm house. The two girls were great friends—brought up in the same town, their homes but a few blocks apart, their school days had been spent together, and neither having sisters, there 'seemed to be a bond between them that could not lightly be severed. Mabel Thornton had been spending the winter with relatives in a distant city, and upon her return a spirit of rebellion rose within her when she realized her triend was about to be torn for her by a rough, brawny farmer. She mentally resolved to dislike him and be very cool and dignified ; in fact, to show hirn in every pasible way the di ference between him and his future bride. Like her friend, Mabel was usually ga and light-hearted, but to -day there seeme a weight on her mind ; her visit to the cit was forgotten, likewise her 'awn future pro pects ; her air castle had rudely fallenj; how often had she planned to herself how- Ne1lie would come to visit Iher in her futur city home where she wonld find her, an their married lives would be as insepara le as their girlhood had been. But no her hopes were all pulled do n by that great ugly farmer, and her dain y slippere foot came -down with unusual firmness o the soft carpet. The next day she was r stless and quite early in the afternoon fund her on her way to Mr. Hammond's ith an excuse to help Nellie. Nellie had planned ;that her farmer should arrive early, " o give Mabel a chance," as she termed it to get used to his odd ways before the o her guests should make their appearance. The last arrangements had scarcely been made, and everything ronounced ready when he was announc d. Nellie radiant with happiness, one hand extended toward him, the other holding M bel's arm said, at the same time : " Ile erty this is my dearest friend, Mabel Th rntOn. Mr. War- rington—Miss Thornton.' And Mable Thornton, rho was always at ease in any society, felt h mil blushing and trembling like a school 'rl, and only re- covered herself when she felt the friendly graap of the farmer's hal d. She raised bet eyes to behold—a tall, broadesholdered, handsome young man, smiling down nnon her, showing a row of, white, even teeth. pi.

The door closed and Mable was alone with that terrible farmer. A very few minutes . sufficed to drift into conversation with Her- bert Warrington.

His very dark brown hair laid in thick clusters about his head and rippled back from his temples in rich dark waves; his broad, white forehead, handsome fea- tures and the proud turn of his lips, all tended to make a most favorable impression upon /S1 abel. Nearly half an hour had elapsed,—so deeply interested were they in some paint- ings they were discussing, they did not notice Nellie's entrance till she stood beside them, beaming with satisfaction that her two friends were -getting along so well together. The evening passed very 'pleasantly. When games and amusements began to lag some one suggested that Mr: Warrington should sing. This was something Mabel had not thought of. She really felt a little provoked at Nellie for not giving her some idea of what he was like. Could, he sing? She felt a little curious, and joined with others who were urging him. Without further hesitation, he requested Nellie to accompany him on the piano. A abort prelude and he began the ballad, "Old orchard cot by the stream." , It was evidently a favorite, for his soul seemed tobe RI the song, and Mabel Watch- ed him closely, though his dark eyes took a far -away look, as though he was wandering in fancy by the orchard and brooks of his own country home; but to himself it was the vision of the fair and happy bride he (.••••••••1....•110w PALE GIRLS Weak, languid and listless, suffer- , ing from heart palpitation, ner- vousness, stomach troubles_or constipation, should use Indian Woman's Balm.

Mabel had suddenly come to the conclus- ion that Nellie might be happy after 411,but she could not help -wondering how he would look in cowhides and denim. , For fully a minute after Herbert War- rington's song was ended, an unbroken silence reigned, the audience seemed scarce- ly to breathe. Nellie, whose wits scented always to be ab her command, reque.tecl two of the young la ies to play a duet, ; but no one seemed incli4ied to break the Cho nf the song, and all made preparations i for home. [ Nellie insisted that Mable should Stop with her all night„ andafter Mr. 'Warring- ton's 'departure, they,hastened to their room. "• Well, Mabel," said -Nellie, " what do you think of my farmer now ? I do hope, for my sake, you are: not altogether dis- gusted." " Oh, he is " She was going to say _ splendid, when her conversation of the pre- vious day and the resolution she had made came to her mind. She checked herself in time to say, "Oh, he is well enough ; but I cannot bear the idea of you becoming a farmer's wife. .I fancy I see you already ; yenr dress pinned back; your sleeves roll- ed up; and yourself covered with a huge Holland apron; straining pail after pail of milk, making butter, cheese, etc.; or pre- siding at the table where your liege lord is dealing out bacon and beans to half a score of blue-shirted helps." 'es, continued Nellie, " aed my friend Mi4ble sitting at my right hand partaking of bacon and beans with hearty relish, while she listens attentively to one of the said blue -shirts, while he relates his adven- tures with a fractious young team. But I mut bid you good -night, for I have a deal to if I o in the next three weeks, and I think get a good nap I will feel none the worse to- orrow." a short time she was sleeping soundly and Probably dreaming of her farmer. But Mable could not sleep. Such a mixture of events had never occurred to her before. Sure bert float but from usua silence expressing !far moreigthan words could do. At last, as they turned toward the house, Herbert said " Everything in the house is just as my mother left itwhen she died five years ago. I have made 00 alterations or improvements, because I wished to please you, and I thought it would be much pleas - enter for us to plan together." " You are very kind," said Nellie, " but really it is so nice as it is." Herbert had the services of a widow in the neighborhood who lived with a married daughter 'and who had agreed to stay as longas Airs. Warrington Wished -her. They had not been loog in the cosy, old- fashioned parlor whoa Mrs; Darwin invited them out to tea. Nellie's astonishment knew no bounds when, entering the dining room, ste found a table, set with a snowy cloth g istening With glass and china; fruits, and delicate cakes, bread and butter.

Ne -ver did the sun shine brig ter or birds sing more joyously ; never wa,s ride fairer, or groorri more proud and hap y, than those two oti whom the sun seemed purposely to shine and when the dainty white hand of Nellie Hammond was clasped' in the broad,' brown. palm of Herbert Warrington, iti seemed to imply the words before they were spoken—"Whom God- has joined together [let no man put asunder." The parents of Nellie had raised ua ob- jections to the marriage ; indeed they seem- ed to b proud of their daughter's choice. Mrs. II mrnond had been a farmer's daugh- ter, ,a d she felt sure her daughter would love th freedom of the country. It ha been arranged that after the wed- ding di ner at Mrs. Hammond's the happy couple shobld proceed at once to their - future 1 ome, which was about fifteen miles from th town. Herbert had brought his Own carriage for that purpose. The ride proved very pleaeant; it could not be other- wise to two persons who -so thoroughlS, en- joyed each other's society. It was near sundown when a turn in the road brought them in view of Warrington Hill, and in a few minutes they were alighting at'their own gate. Nellie had never seen the place. Herbert had often wished- her to -go, but she loved better to hear ' his descript Otis of it. The house which was nuite modern, stood upon an eminence, but upo approaching, the ascent was so gradual as s arcely to be realized. A spacious door- aaal, with an unusual amount of shade tr es and shrubbery; the dear old lilacs; th flowering currant and sweetbrier bushes harmoniously blending their sweet odors with the opening air,while a large orchard juat, breaking into bloom, extended nearly to the brink of the stream at the foot of the hill, which wound its way in and out among the tall beech and mapel trees. Tho stream was spanned by a little rustic bridge tastefully ornamented With lattice work. Dirently on the other side rose a hill much higlier than the one on which the farm house was built. At the summit, half hidden by tall trees, stood an old-fashioned stone church, its gray tower rising in dark contrast to the deep blue of the sky beyond. The ponder- ous clock was just striking the hour of six, which echoed over the hills and dales with solemn grandeur. Nellie stood like one entranced sa the beauty of the scene, ,the silence, the sweet perfume of the orchard, -the ptolonged echo of the churoh bell, and her own happiness, were too much for her, and the merry blue eyes lled with tears. Herbert was grieved for he bad never seen -her sad. - He was about to speak when she laid her hand .upon his arm and said: "Oh, Herbert 1 I fear we shall be too happy here and forget our duty to those around us."

She be- gan on a small au of money, probably less than $100, to gamle in a limited way, but afterward became the proprietor of several large establishme ts, where she made many thousands in pr fits from the various so- called games of chance. Madame Dumont was the wife of a French miner, who worked in the British Columbia district. She wae then a quiet little wo- man with apparently no desire for amuse- ments outside her own home imtil her hus- band and child did in 1854. That changed the whole tenor o her life. She went to Nevada.City, and after accumulating a lit- tle capital at the aro tables there, opened a gambling house in which he game was play- ed except " ving -et-un."

She was a sharp, shrewd little woman, and erept for lavish charitable ex- penditures shi 8eijeme. to have a faculty for holding her gains, She placed her money in what seemed afeinvestments, and finally retired from the gambling world to live on a California ranCh. In the financial troubles of 1873she lost her entire fortune, and once more returned to the mining Camps and the gambling tables.

The steadiness of hand and head required for the manipulation of the bicycle will be in the last analysis one of the most potent temperance lessons that our young people can learn, and the emanci- pation that has come to the lives of women has given a saner idea of 1 woman's sphere and of her power of wholesome enjoyment than any of the dissertations on the " Wo- mau Question" could possibly bring to her.
