SELECTED. STORY.
or JEALOUSY
A PRETTY LITTLE STORY:
"I just wish you'll tell mo!" said Minnie,
with the least poreoptityle pout on her, pretty*
Hp.' f ' rr " '
Now. Minnie was a round checked, rosy, lit
Jle maid, with bi^r blue eyes fringed around
with brown lashes and a coy.dimple that some
times camoout on her chock and sometimes on
her chin, but always where you least expected
it. Ami. moreover, 1 have no objection to im
part to the reader, (in strict confidence, of
course.) that she was my Minnie?mine, by
virtue of the diamond engagement ring that
sparkled >u knowingly on her little left baud.
So of course I bad tho privilege of tantalizing
her. and I used it. too.
??Woman's curiosity !" said I, with a shrujr
of my shoulders, ,sniid feminine jealousy !"
'?Nonsense !" said Minnie, coloring up. *?!
suppose men ate never curious nor jealous,
cither?" i
"Ntevor V qooth 1,1rith h omile of culm su
periority:'1 ' '
"Thcnyou won't tell me, Clarence ?"
'"I : think mi? chere.'yonr curiosity and trie
other emotion?ncotl" a little discipline ?'
Now, why on earth I wanted to be so pro
yoking, I can't tell; the natural perversity of
man, most probably, for there was no other
reason that I should not have told Miunio
Rives just why I was obliged to go home early
that evening?a Masonic lodge meeting, and
nothing more important. !
She did not say a word, but turned quietly
a way and went up stairs for my littlo bouquet
of hcliothropc and geranium leaves that shu
generally fastened into my button-bole before 1
went away. And in tho vory instant that she
closed the door, I saw the downward flutter of
a little slip of white paper from her dn s.".
Instinctively I stooped to pick it up ; and as
1 stooped, 1 could not avoid reading the cha
racters inscribed thereon, in a elear, masculine
ehirngraphy :
??f). 11.?At Mason & J)obcll's. No disap
pointment this time. E. M."
I felt the crimson flush mounting to my tem
ples in a burning current, as T read and re-read
the mysterious words, -E. M." Didn't I re
member that Edward Mason was Minnie's se
cond cousin, and a provokirtgly handsome fel
low at that ? Had I forgotten that people u od
to think what a ''pretty couplo" they'd make
boforc 1 stopped to the fajn's? "E. M."' in
deed ! And I clenched my fists involuntarily
as I crumpled the paper inside its grasp.
"And What are you looking for, Minnie?"
She stood with one hand resting lightly on
the door-knob, glancing uneasily round the
floor, while there was n guilty flush on her
check.
' I?that is?have you seen a little slip of
paper lying about ?"
"No!"
T uttered the falsehood w ith deliberate calm
ness, even while the tell-tale billet lay in my
hand.
So?she was 'anxious about it. eh ? She
didn't .likle the idea that J should have an in
bight; iriW her little arrangements With ^fe M
Ali! falso and Fair?all women aro alike.
"I am going."
'?flood night!"
I hold her hand a moment in mine} but I
did hot kiss her as lis?al?the iron had entered
far too dfcopdy into my soul for thut.
'"5?11." Of course tho whole thing was
as plain as daylight. To-day was tho fourth of
the month?it was simply an appointment for
the 'morrow, at eleven o'clock. I ground my
teeth as the truth flashed across my brain.
"No disappointment thh time 1" I would like
to have challenged Edward Mason to mortal
combat on t' c instant, were it not that duels
were entirely out of fashion. What business
had he to lay down the law to ?*// Minnie?
But there was one comfort?Jack Dobell was
my old friend ; he would not see me wronged
if bo could help it. and I promptly resolved to
appeal to Jaj.*k for aid and justice. '
I glanced at my watch. Nino o'clock?too
late for the Ma'sophv meeting, nud certainly too
late to seek out Mr. TJoboll. who was athiscount
ing-house long before this. And.so I. lighted
the gas and sat down to chew the cud of my
own bitter meditations. ' The more T militated
on my injuries, the more furious I ^b.nne,
until, as the cloek chimed midnight. I took my
final resolve. jt
I will not be made a fool of?1 wilWast her
"off as unworthy of my love; but first 1 will
possess myself of a eine to this prent mystery
and accuse her boldly to her face.
. So 1 went to bed to dream fitfully all night
of the monster sheets of phosphorescent t>,,**,or1
with "E. M.j" dating ^c-.rlet fire :tll over the
ex w? ???**.
"Is Mr. Debcll in ?"
. Yes. Mr. Dobell was in. and one of the
clerks respectfully ushered me into the little
private oflico where my friend Jack was sitting
over a voluminous pile of letters.
'?Dobcll. 1 want you to d?> me a great favor
I ?will you ?"
??Certainly,-if I can."
I looked up at the clock?it wanted just fif
toou minutes tn eleven, and I hurriedly confid
ed tho whole story of my wrongs to Jack's
,hou?st >t?ti^1j5^8rr-^ '^rjl^Wf^lS
lie stood stroking down bis red whiskers re
flectively.
"My dear fellow, I really think you're at
taching too much* importance to a more trifle."
"A trifle !" I bit my lip until the blond came.
??It's very plain to see that you're not standing
in my peculiar position, Dobell."
'?Shall 1 send for Mason ? lie is in the
sliop, I have no doubt."
"You will do nothing of the sort."
"Wellj then, what is it you require of me ?"
"Listen, then. She will come here, proba
bly, at eleven, to?see Mason, confound him !"
"Well ?"
"Whore will he be most likely to receive
her ?"
"In this room, I suppose."
"Is there no place where I could bo an un
seen auditor of their conversation?"- a
i "Why, there's the wardrobe, but?
"Say no more?the very place!" I exclaimed,
cxultingly.
The clock struck eleven as Mr. Dobell took
his leave ; and 1 hurriedly onsconscd myself in
the wardrobe, with my head against the collar
of Jack's business coat, and my lower extremi
ties iu a perfect grove of linen dusters and ob
solete pantaloons.
Africa and Sandwich Islands! It was get
ting decidedly tropical ! I wiped the dew
from my glowing forehead. Why didn't Min
nie conic if she. was coming 1 I pushed the
door a quarter of an inch open.
Shades of Fahrenheit, how hot it was ! A
thermometer would certainly have stood at a
hundred in this close atmosphere! I was
streaming with perspiration! my hair was as
wet as if I had stood in a summer shower, but
I would have cheerfully remained there all day
to detect the monstrous conspiracy between my
Minne und "E. M."
One o'clock. Decidedly, this was getting
rather monotonous ! I was inclined to be vory
sleepy, but it wouldn't do to yield to the blan
dishments of Morpheus. If 1 could have in
dulged iu a cigar !
But my patience was not destined to go en
tirely unrewarded. .Just as 1 was anxiously
waiting for the relentless clock to strike
two, there was a flutter of silken garments on
my ear?the sound of Minnie's sweet, familiar
voice :
"I am sorry I lost that 'memorandum, Ed
ward."
(Sorry ! I beard it !)
"It isn't of any consequence, Minnie, we'll
make it all straight."
(Would he ?)
"Ltd. me seo," said I'.dward. rofloctivoly.
"Five yards at eleven shcllings. When do yon
want it finished ?"
"By Thursday; it's Clarence's birthday."
(I pricked up my ears attentively.)
?1 think I can promise it to you by that
time. I was sorry to disappoint you before,
but we really hadn't a bit of anything in the
nho^'tliftt' wna afc all appropriate for a dressing
gQMm?K>rrThe : material Is elegant?crimson
leaded,you sec, on a fawn-colored ground."
?'IJeatatiful!'.' ejaculated Minnie, ecstatically.
"Ajjjfcydu want it lined with crimson silk,

*!t0f course. Huw pleased CMnrcuce will
(If, there had been a crack in the bottom of
that wardrobe, 1 must assuredly have fallen
thtough it, bo exceedingly small did I feel.)
.^Dcaf Clarence," went on my innocent Min
nie} '"I< don't thiuk lie felt vory well last night,
he Rtntngc and abrupt in his manner."
"Very likely," yawned -'K.pi.,"'with a pro
ved.:.g|pi^erene^^ l-l>y the way, Minnie, in
wirft direct ion are you going ?"
'.'Home, of course. Clarence may call this
afternoon."
(Mi* jicvotcd little .darling ! 1 only . wish
that-I rind the wardrobe were in the midst of
that Lyhian desert, or some equally distant
spot.)
'?Then I'll escort you. Dobcll will be back
presently, and there's no necessity fur ihy stay
ing here. Just wait half a second until I get
my hat.". ?
'Thc.blood in my whole veins seemed turned
foT'n second to ice. and then again to fire.
What a blockhead I had be'en not to foresee
this.emerg%icy : I held my breath and clung
desperately to' the inner handle of the ward
robe, ns'IJelt Kdward Mason's touch upon ?K
outer.
".'A hy,-.*" soliloquized that young ^entlcma^j
in a puzzled, tone of volte, "whal on earth ails
ihM uoor handle?it won't turn."
And he gave it an energetic wrench that
defiod till Uly efforts toiiiipedo.it? revolution.
The door flew open, and 1 stood revealed among
the coats and dusters like a modern edition of
<?ne of Uelzoni's mummies '.
'jllallo .'" ejaculated Mason, staring at nie in
blank astonishment, while Minnie's eyes grew
bigger and bhrnr than I had deemed it possible
for eyes to be.
?Woll !".said Kdward, resignedly, .-I'd like
qu came hero ?"
to favor him with any expla
r7fc'd'i?s^^
iiif iTltmT^roTrTeil.
, '?Minnie?darling?you'll think me very
ridiculous and absurd; but 1 confess that,
that?"
T courageously drew the slip of paper from
my pocket und placed it in her'baud.
??I found that on the parlor floor last night.
Minnie j it excited my curiosity, and I faucied
all sorts of ridiculous things. So I came down
here to?"
??To hide in a wardrobe." said -Miss Minnie
niischieviously. "Man's curiosity ! and to find
out what I meant by coming to sec poor, dear
Kdward?man's jealousy ! 1 didn't suppose that
such emotions existed in the masculine mind."
??Minnie!" I pleaded appealing!)', while
that coarse wretch. Kdward Mason, burst into
a laugh that jarred on my every nerve.
'?I won't tease you any more, Clarence," she
said, putting up her rose-bud lips for a recon
ciliatory kiss.
Isn't a woman always ready to forgive any
fault that springs from too much devotion to
herself? To Minnie's credit be it spoken, that
from that da)* to this, I have never heard a
word of the wardrobe business. Hut then, to
be sure, I hail been particularly careful not to
mention the well known fact, that women cm
jealous and curious, in my wife's presence.
And I am writing this little confession in
the identical fawn-colored wrapper, with crim
son palm-leaves, trimmed with cord and tassels
to match.

with credit in the Mexican war. In I860, he
was ljiajor of the 7th Infantry, and while on
duly in Mexico, he conducted a campaign
ngainU the Nawahocs, with great success. At
the beginning of the late war with the North

19th infantry, ami in command ?f the Depart
ment of New Mexico lie commanded tho
I'nion forces at the battle of Valverde, in which
the Confederate forcos under Sibley and

A G RICTTLTTJRAL', ;&C. -
Lninpas.
The horse's lot is indeed a hard one; it is
not only chastised by the master, but it also
has to submit to the fancies of the groom.
Lainpas is an imaginary disease, but it is a vast
favorite among stable attendants. Whenever
an animal is oil' its feed, the servant looks into
tho mouth, and to his own conviction, discov
ers the lainpas. That affection is supposed to j
consist of 'Inflammation, which enlarges the bars j
of the palate, t id forces them to the level of,
or a little below, the biting edges of the upper
incisor teeth.
Would the groom take the trouble to exam
ine the mouths of other young horses which
cat all before them, the lanipas would be as
certained to be a natural development; but the
ignorant always act upon fuith, and never pro
ceed on inquiry. Young horses alouc are sup
posed to be subject to lainpas ; young horses have
not finished teething till the fifth year. Horses
are broken during colthood ; they are always
placed in stables aud forced to masticate dry,
artificial food before all their teeth are cut;
shedding the primary molars is especially paiu-;
ful; of courso, during such a process, the ani
mal endeavors to feed as littlu as possible. A
refusal to eat is the groom's strongest proof
that lainpas is present. But, putting the teeth j
on one side, would it be surprising if a ehaugc
of food and a total change of habit in a young
creature were occasionally attended with tem
porary loss of appetite 'I Is lampas necessary
to account for so very probable a consequence?
The writer has often tried to explain this to
stable servants; but the very ignorant are
generally the very prejudiced. While 'the
author has been talking, the groom has been
smiling; looking most provokingly knowing,
and every now and then shaking his head, us
much as to say, "Ah, my lad, you can't gam
mon me."
Young horses arc taken from the field to the
stable, from juicy grass to dry fodder, from
natural oxeyciso to constrained stagnation. Is
.1 so very astonishing, it' under such a total
change of life, the digestion becomes sometimes
deranged boforo the system is altogether adapt
ed to its now situation ? Is it matter of alarm
should tho appetite occasionally fail? But
grooms, liko most of their class, regard eating
as the only proof of health. They have no
confidence in abstinence; they cannot compre
hend any loss of appetite ; they love to see the
"beards wagging," and reckon the state '61'
the body by the-amount of provisv ti consum
ed. \
The author will uot describe the moJe of
firing for lampas." It iOuffioiont hero to

Another most excellent method of preparing
bones for field uso, ia to dissolvo or ? saponify.}
the gelatinous portion by the employment of
caustic alkalies. For this .purpose, take 100
