THE TWOJUVALS.
BY SHIRLEY BROWNE.
The twilight was descending,
dark and chill; the lurid clouds
which threatened a coming storm
were piled in sullen, ragged masses
along the northern horizon, and
still Eunice Lavard sat on the old
stone stile, patting her pretty foot
on the rustling heap of dead leaves
while the fresh wind painted her
ohoAlrn of tho anHust dam?all nintr
and the long, over-drooping lashes
hid the shining ot her clear, gray
eyes.
For it was the old, olJ story of
our lifetime over again?love eon
tending for his empire, while the
little aneen of hearts stood co
quotiislily by, and enjoyed the
measuring of lances 1
Mr. George ilardenbrook, with
bis hands in his pockets, and a rather
unbecoming fur cap drawn
over his square torchead and shaggy
eyebrows, certainly did not
wear a very romantic exterior, but,
then, does not the old proverb
say, "Never judge by appearances!"
while Mark Tyrrell, a
straight, bright-eyed young fellow,
whose simple rustic attire bad
somodiing of the picturesque in
its style and arrangement, leaned
against the trunk ot a leafless sugar
maple and watched Eunice's every
movement, as if she were a precious,
priceless diamond, aud he

modern Helen of Tror, with a
demure quiver of the long eyelashes.
And then she glanced towards
Mark Tyrrell, as if mutely to
question what he had to say for

tndoosiaente as Mr. Hardenbrook,'
said the yonng man, quietly,
though, as be stood there, with
fulded arms, there was an accent of
satire in the tones of hi* ?t

remains yet to be achieved.1
Eunice laughed.
4 As if I were to be sold to the
highest biddder,' she said, haughtily.

4 He speaks truly, Miss Layard,'
assented Mark Tyrrfll, as Eunice
Slanced inquiringly at him. 4 We
id agree to lay our future at yonr
feet and abide by the decision yon
were pleased to make 1'
(Aud,' Eunice's eyes glittered
scornfully again, 'you expected
me to choose a husband on the
spot, as coolly as if I were selecting
a new dress, or a set of china!'
* Well,said Hardenbrook,somewhat
awkwardly, 4 a girl must
choose some time, and I don't see
why now isn't as good a time as
any 1'
41, at least, do not wish to harry
yonrchoice, said Mark, quietly.'
And Eunice looked a little vexed?she

creed of tbe world, I have reason

which to consider what it is best

4 Very well,' said Hardenbrook,
complacently. 41 ain't afraid of
waiting. Ine more you think
about the Hardenbrook farm and
tbe water privileges?'
4 And the n e w 1 y furnished
house,1 broke in Eunice, laughing.
4 But it is getting cold, and 1 want
to get home.1
| 4 May I bare tho ploaaure?1
began Mark, but Eunice shook her
j pretty little hooded head resolutely.
4 No, yon may not,1 she said.?
41 prefer to go home alone l1
And she stood by her word.
4 She is very willful,1 said Mr.
Hardenbrook, discontentedly, as
lie watched the scarlet shawl disappear,
a fluttering bit of color down
the chill autumnal pathway, 41
snail oreak ber of ail that sort of
tliinar!'
4 When you get her,' said Tyrrell,
dryly.
4 Yes; of course, when I get her.
It is very pretty and enticing, and
all that sort of thing, in the girl
von are making love to?but in a
wife *
4 It will be time enough to talk
about that when yon have a wife/
said Mark Tyrrell, and George
felt a sort of uneasy consciousness
that his rival was laughing at him.
The week of ordeal passed away,
as all weeks will, whether of joyous
holidav or burdened with the
awful sha ow of morning. And
Mark Tyrrell and Mr. llardenbrook
went down to Farmer Layard's
snug red brick house, to learu
the st ry of tbeir fate, on the evening
of the sccoud day from that
ou which Eunice hod sat enthron
ed on the stone ftile, and received
two offers of marriage at once.
Mies Lavard, meanwhile, had
not been idle. She had made up
her mind to marry the man wh
loved her best.
4 For if I should love, and have
no equal meed of affection given
me back,' Eunice said, 4 my life
? * ? ?
wouia oo simply a wreck. It 1
am loved?really, truly, and for
myself, then,' and her violet great
eyes softened into velvet tender,
41 would not envy the proudest
lady in the land 1'
4 But how are you going to decide
the question I' said Mrs. Tarbox,
her aont, who 4 kept house'
for Farmer Layard, ana did her
beet to spoil Eunice every day of
her genial lite.
4 Oh, I know how,' said Eunice,
calmly.
4 And may'nt I know, toof
4 Of course yon may, tor I
couldn't manage matters at all
without you P
And then there was a regular
council of war between these two
designing females.
So when Messrs. ITardenbrook
and Tyrrell arrived, Mrs. Tarbox
received tbem with a great deal of
politeness, and invited them to
4 stay and spend the evening.'
4 Mr. Layard'U be in directly,'
aid Mra. Tarbox, 4 and I know
hell be pleased to see yon.'
4 Ahem I' said Mr. Hardenbrook
pompously, 41?we, that is, called
to see Mies Eunice.'
4 Oh?h?h T cried Mra. Tarbox.

4 Heard whatr demanded
George and Mark at once, while
Eunice, biding behind the door in
' the next room, felt herself quiver

Bat Aant Tarbox had more

'But,' interposed Hardenbrook
nervously, * you haven't told us
what it is F
* So I haven't, said AantTarbox.
(Then yon didn't know that Ennice
was going to jnarry Sqnire Carpenter,
down in Daleville!'
4 Sqnire Carpenter,' roared Mr.
Hardenbrook, growing very red.
* Who the?mischief is Sqnire
Carpenter, of Daleville t I never
heai d of him.'
4 No, nor anybody else I' thought
Annt Tarbox, scarcely longing to
burst out laughing, but she answered,
calmly:
4 Well, he's a rich gentleman,
who?'
4 And Eunice has jilted me for
him 1' cried George, scarcely crediting
the evidence ot his own ears.
4 Me? when the IJardenbrook
farm, and the saw mills and everything
else that belongs to the
property might have been hers.'
Mark Tyrrell stood quiet and
silent, bnt through the friendly
crack ot the door, Eunice could
see how very pale bio countenance
had grown in the lamplight.
4 Well,'quotb Mr. Hardenbrook,
still verv much exr.iled. 4 let her I
go I I never cared about her?

as good fish in the sea as was ever
' caught out of it, eh, Tvrrell ??
Don't jou think we've had a lucky
escape from the flirting good fornothing

are you about!'
For Mr. Ilardenbrook's flow of
words were suddenly checked by a
firm and uncompromising grasp ot
bis jugular.
4 Hold your scandalous tongue,'
enunciated Mark Tyrrell, indignantly.
4 Miss Layard's name i?
far too precious to be taken irreverently
into your insulting mouth.
Let her marry whom she will, I
shall always love and respect her,
and I insist upon your doing at
least the latter.

mutteied Ilardenhrook, as

And out he flounced, considering
himself a very ill-used mortal.
Mark was about to follow his
example when the door suddenly
opcued, and Eunice ran out with
reddened cheeks and smiling lips :
1 Mark?Mark?don't go yet 1'
sho cried. 41 want to tell you
that?'
4 That Squire Carpenter is an invention.'
laughed Mrs. Tarbox.?
4 Eunice only wanted to find out
which of you really loved her the
best.'
4 Then, Eunice,' exclaimed the
young man, with kindling eyes.
4 Y es,' said Eunice, quietly.?
4 Von may have me if prou will;

A Woao for Local Novbpapkka.?
We take the following from
the New York Tribune. It is true,
and we commend it to every one
who has an interest in the place
where he resides:
4* Nothing is more common than
to hear people talk of what they
pay for advertising, <fcc.. as so
mnch given iti charity. Newspapers
by enhancing the value of
the property in the neighborhood
and giving localities in which they
are published, a reputation abroad,
benefit all such, particularly if
they are merchants or real estate
owners, thrice the amount yearly
of the meagre sum they pay for
their support. Besides,every public
spirited citizen has a laudable
pride of having a paper of which
he is not ashamed, even though
he should pick it up in New York
or Washington. A good-looking,
thriving sheet helps property,gives
a character to locality, and is in
many respects a desirable public
convenience. If from any canse
the matter in the local or editorial
column should not be to your
standard, do not cast it aside and
pronounce it good tor nothing, until
satisfied that there has been no
more labor bestowed upon it than
is paid for. It you want a good
readable sheet, it must be supported,
not in a spirit of charity, either,
but because yon feel a necessity to
support it. The local press is the
power that moves the people."

the next day at a State dinner
party by Gen. Grant Gen. Butler,
Gen. Schenck, Gen. Garfield,
and other military imbeciles.of

company. Mrs. Revels passed
troin the drawing room to the dining
room on the arm of Senator
Sumner, and occnniod a. rant At
the table between tbat gentleman
and the President. Her conversation
charmed the company even
more than her appearance, although
the refined and instinctive
taste in drees in which the ladies
of Guinea are distinguished, was
sweetly apparent in the decoration
of her person. A turban ct mild
scarlet with yellow border ? a
crimson moir antique with blue
and green flounces, and buttons of
dainty brass?red slippers with
white rosettes, with a massive necklace
ot barbari pearls, and half a
dozen breast pins of curious workmanship?a
few neat rings and a
gilt belt?united to form a toilette
in which purity and simplicity
were exquisitely united.

Our readers will save themselves,
and perhaps their friends, from
liumbuggery in this matter, by remembering
that oroide is simply a
high sounding word fur brass, and
oroide is brass?onlv brass and
nothing more. The Lrass is tinctured
with some preparation to

let him go to a dealer whom lit

What the Features Indicate.
We are told that the extremes
of both largeness and smallneee of
statnre are not favorable to
strength of intellect. Giants and
dwarfs are generally deficient in
this respect, and excessive corpulency
or raeagreness is seldom associated
with mental activity. Aristotle

however, were very ghort. Charles
James Fox was exceedingly tat,
Daniel Webster was both broad
and tall, and Lord Nelson a living
skeleton.
-A large head is generally the
accompaniment of a great iutel*
lect; but a small one with a comparatively
extensive forehead is
quite consistent with mental caO.
Raphael, Frederick the
, Charles XII, and Lord
Brougham wero illustrations of the
latter fact.
It is said that any nose which is
less than the height ot the forehead
is an indication of detective
iutellectual power.
The eyes indicate character
rather by their color than form.?
The dark blue are found most commonly
in persons of a gentle and
refined character; light blue and
gray in the rudo and energetic.?
T . - 11 II i - -
uttvmer guys: ~ i vazei eyes are tue
more usual indications of a mind
masculine, vigorous and profound ;
just as genius, properly so called,
is almost always associated witli
eyes of a jellowish cast, bordering
on hazel." The higher the brows
rise the more their possessor is
suppo ed to be under the influence
of feeling, and the lower, the better
controlled by his reason. A
very small eye brow is an indication
of want of force of character.
A tolerably large month is essem
tial to vigor and energy, and a
very smaJl one is indicative <1
weakness and indolence. In a
manly face the upper lip should
extend beyond ana dominate the
lower. Fleshy lips are oftener
found and associated with volnp
tuousness. The retreating chin indicates
weakness; the perpendicular,
strength; and the sharp,
acotencss of tnind.

of the Country Gentleman
states that the past season he
tried seven ways of cultivating
and training the tomato, and likes
training to a single stake tie best,
as they ripened ten days earlier
ana yielded better than the others.
The plant aa it grows is tied to the
stake. When the first cluster ol
blossom buds appear, the lateral
shoots which appear iu the axil ol
each leaf below it, are carefully
plucked out, leaving but a single
stem, surmounted by a cluster ol
flowers, and a bnd which wil
serve to continue the stein. Thit
bud will develop three leaves and
a cluster of flowers, and all the
axilarv shoots upon it are re
moved, and the stem is kept care
tully tied up, and so on. The vine
is kept to a single 6tem without
branches, and bearing only lea vet
and clusters of truit. The vines,
with the exception of two, grew
to the top of the stakes, the first
cluster growing within three inch

tomatoes the 25th of July.

Qskennsm.?Many remark#
, have been made abont the green
new of countrymen when in cities,
i but the truth is, the greenest of all
t green things is a city man in the
( country.
A short time ago, a man from
New York, went np to Potter Oo.,
i Pa., to visit his oountry cousins.?
, Desiring to show him every atten*
tion, his relatives got np a deer
> hnnt for his special pleasure.?
1 They furnished him with the best
outfit and the best rifle, stationed
. him on the best run away, told
? him to shoot the deer when it
, should attempt to pass down on its
, way to the river, and then took
f other and less inviting positions
themselves. The dogs were then,
j taken into the forost and soon starti
ed the rame. which rushed doII
mell through bramble, brier and
. windfall down the select path and
) across the river to parts unknown,
i Not hearing the report of anv rifle,
t the Potter boys started for the station
of their city f ieud, whom
0 they found at bis point of observation,
looking intently upon the
runaway. 44 Why did you not

j Sowing Corn for Fodder.?A.
$ correspondent of the Rural New
1 Yorker adopts a niodo of furrow\
ing for the drills b3r using two
t horses and a common plow, tbe
t ground being first ploughed and
f harrowed in the ordinary manner :
The first furrow extends aronnd
j the whole field at the outside.?
? For the next, the near horse walks
a in the furrow, and the team con2
tinues going around until the cens
tre is reached and the whole field
f furrowed. This operation leaves
2 about eighteen inches between the
r drills. The weight of the plow
y nlono will cause it to sink about
1 three inches, which is deep enongh.
t Tho corn is strewed along the
|. furrows bj* hand, at the rate of
three bushels per acre, and then
covered by harrowing. A ono
horse cultivator, with the side
] tec h removed, is passed between
> lue rows when the corn is np, killi.
ing the weeds and ridging the
- rows. The nearness of the rows
t to each other would doubtless give
e larger crops by this mode, than
e when they arc three feet apart.

?- Remedy for tiik Borer in Ar?
i, n.KTrees.?A correspondent gives
r the best remedy which lie has
jl ever seen tried for the borer in
y and lice on apple trees. It is as
ti follows: For a tree six inches in
r diamater, take a brace and bit?
n the bit say half-inch ? bore three
y holes to the heart, commencing
i- about six inches from the ground,
3, advancing each hole alnnit six
t- inches up and one-third around
y the tree. Then fill ench hole with
n sulphur. Plug the holes up with
\ a soft piece of wood, cut off
is smoothly and the work is done.?
is The spring is the best time to do
y the work, when the sap first starts
in mo tree. The sulphuric purgation
will give the customers particular
fits.

n- A Kkw Albany, Indiana, man
d stood by while an exciting fight
d was going on between two women,
ig every now and then exclaiming :
p " Lick her, Betsy, lick her ; you're
e my wife, and if von don't lick her,
>r I'll lick you." Betsy obeyed her
>e lord.
e A Virginia man cocked a gun
38 and blew down the muzzle to see if
>e it was loaded. He didn't state his
conclusions, bit the by standers
who saw his head fly off think it
was.
A A more glorious victory cannot
so be gaine<4^ver another man than
ie this : that when the injury began
in on his part, the kindness should
|W begin on oars.
