ROMANCE OF '^LITTLE SHOP." ?Y ANNA1?KM.E I1ARKRU WRITE, Whack ! whack ! whack ! Tho ringing sound of it hammer fell on tho pleasant coolness of tho air with a distinctness that showed thc strokes were given with a vigorous and practiced hand. Mr. For rest Rutherford turriell his b?ud in the direction whence tho sound' proceeded, aim sar/ a queer-looking little house fronting tho leafy lane up which ho wns slowly riding.

Then she turned back to lier work-far work it surely was, to judge by tho nails, hammer, numerous small saws that lay on ih? bench before ber, together with & pile of richly-colored lumber on one corner of tho room and a chest of car penter's toola ill niiulhvr. Thus imm-'iv: rily dismissed, tho young mab perforce resumed his journey, nut without munj il backward, reluctant gaze. "Talk about thc curiosity of woman, but I don't believe the man "lives that would not give anything to kiow what that girl is doing. In the name of won derful womanhood, what con she bo up to?" But further anxious musings were cut short by sight of tho large, handsome whito house that uaw.caj?eMn view. It was a beautiful place, and eloquently testified to its owner's taste and opulence by the grand old trees, the beautiful and abundant flowers, the rinding walks, the summer houses and tho fountain that tinkled musically as its cooling spray fell into a marble basin upheld uy snowy limbed Tritons. "I surely must congratulate myself on being so fortunate as to procure a rei i cat for tho summer in this terrestial Para dise." His approach had evidently been ob served, for as he passed before a largo whito gato, it slowly swung open and discovered a small boy in waiting. "Please, sab, Mass Joe says ride up to the east piazza and go in. He in de lib'? ry." The yoho* man did as directed, follow ing tho windings of the broad, graveled dnvo wbicfy led to tho "cast piazza." - "Ahl Mr. Rutherford, como in, como in ;" and a middle-aged gentleman of stately presence carno out . with out stretched hanjHo?welcome^'I ag? glad to know-one ?yor?g1 Wm"?Ttb'/'nine teenth conrury CEO'^3^^^^^^-' laugh filled* tho room aa ho drpvv forward an easy chair, tfc&n' rang the bell., "Thank you, sir; but not many young men have so pleasant a promise to ful fill." ; Refreshment's wore now brought in, and aa Forrest .slowly.Bippcd, his.win*rr i th* gu?rd?u of r&?UretW *?sp?talityJib ante-hdlum days--Mr., or Squire Snow den, as ho waa-inore familiarly called, said: ; "I hope yon will enjoy the sommer here, though if you depena on female so ciety I fear yon will have A duli ti mo of it, for ladies, young or old, are like *'an " Forrest thought of the yoong lady he bad just seen, but said nothing.

"Rut I, thought you &*.ld there were no ?g ladies in tho neighborhood," For could not refrain from saying. His host laughed easily. "I did not think of Claro.

"Papa, will you please give me some fl ?ii ?" the you?j? lady's rica vosco ?nter? posed softly, ana glancing at her, Forrest saw a faint flush staining her snowy brow. Tho enigma was solved. By the aid of those large, calm eyes and her father's words, he recognized her an the girl car penter ho had accosted in lier own shop .' for before the evening was over, thc Squire nad pointed out various little carved brackets, frames, ?helve?, etc., fashioned by bis daughter'? deft fingers. .'I always end my evenings with music when the goddess is propitious," said the Squire, smiling on his daughter ns ho opt..ted the piano aiH placed some sheets of music thereon. Clare quietly glided forward and took the otool. Presently a wonderful voico rippled out, filling the room with its rich melody. As she sat there, Forrest had time to scan ber critically. "What a wondrously beautiful girl 1" he thought. Hnir of gold waived back from a sweet, womanly brow ; brown eyes of marvelous ? depth and expression ; a rare-ripe mouth ; I rounded cheeks flushed with delicate Stink ; graceful neck and snowy throat ; artlessly moulded arms and hsnds with Ufc fingers-these were her ontward graces that took captive Forrest's by no means susceptible heart. He gazed in wonder at those dainty fingers, and could not believe they ever fashioned anything more cumbrous than the foamy lace thnt encircled her th.oat. Forrest went to bed that night feeling ns if in a dream. When bo closed his eyes, that lovely face floated over him, and he christened it "St. Cecillia ;" but when he thought of her wielding ham mer and saw, they would open wide, r>nd the sweet vision would leave him. At an early hour the noxt morning he descended to the erst piazza. A beauti ful black oony accoutered for a lady stood before it, impatiently pawing awi champing his bit. "Is that horse safo for a lady ?" he r uericd of tho groom who held thc bridle " Tho follow shook his woolly head slow ly and doubtfully. "Dunno 'bout dat, xah, but Miss Clan she ride 'im."

"Claro," and he met her without for inality an ho took her hand and lcd her to a seat, "I go away to-morrow. She looked up with expectant eyes and hands folded loo?oly iii her lap.

Thc marquis would have expressed his thanks. Lut the king stopped him. "Hold, Sir Hugh. We wish not for thy thanks ; for know that thou art not thc only one to whom we have extended our "oyal pardon. Wc have caused a nardin to be prepared in blank, and nave placed it in thc hands of our trusty minister of police. It is for the mar who shall kill thee !" Thc caution proved sufficient to th end desired. THE DERVISH AND THE CAVILER. A mnn came one day to a dervish and laid before him three questions : 1. Why is it that God is everywhere present? I don't sec Him. Show mc where Ho is. 2. Why is a man to be punished fur his ?ins? nc has no free will, since bc can do nothing against thc will of God il. How cnn God punish Sntan with tho firu of hell, since he is formed of fire, a flaming spirit? Firu cannot do harm to fire. Heicupon thc dervish picked up large lump of earth and threw it with all his might at the head of the questioner, The poor man was startled at the striking answer, and lodged a complaint before the Cadi. The" Cadi summoned th dervish and asked him : "Why did you throw a lamp of earth flt this man's head, instead of giving an answer to his questions?" "It was my answer," replied the der vish, "and tho best answer I could give nt once to all three questions: 1. He soys he has a pain in his head. I don't se?; iL. Let him make mc see tho pain iii his head, and then I may try to make him see God. 2. He then comes to you and lodges a complaint of me. What right has he to do so? I have no free will ; and ho has no right to seek that I be punished, since God permitted me to throw the earth ot him. 8. And then how cnn earth do harm to earth ? Thc man is made of* earth earth cannot do harm to > urth, if fire cannot do harm to fire." HEIFERS' CALVES FOR COWS.-Not long since a correspondent inquired about making cows of heifers' calves, but having seen no answer, I venture to give him my observations and experience. I believe it to be an established fact with old farmers here that tho "first calf for an ox," and the "lost calf for a cow," are truo sayings. Quite young cows develop smartness, old cows laziness; in tho for mer muscle predominates, and in thc lat ter secretions. Two years ago I had a very pretty calf from a two-year-old heifer-a perfect beauty-and in the fal!, while it wa.-; still a calf, my little son took-] it to tim fair and got a premium.. This spring .she hud i\ calf, but the boy ib _r$ld iy dbapbointedW-h? thinks he .has paid too muen for the "whistle," for she does not give over one qunrt of milk at a time. All the measuring and mealing will not coax her to increase her milk much. Her grandma was a great milker, and thatvis. why, * t saved thc calf, but I wUi. notrbc" likely to save another heifer's coif for a cow. That same year we had a heifer calf from a very old cow ; ?bo has also calved, and she gives' a common'pail two-thirds full every time. Tho milking capacity of the two grt\uddams was about alike. I have bad several other similar oas rr- -r?mo to my knowledge. A COMPLICATED CASE.-A rather [ complicated case is about to como before tho courts nt Frankfort-on-thc-Oder. A ? lively young boar was recently sent there by rail" from Custrin, carefully shut up in ' ? wooden cage. On tito journey, how ; over, he managed to break his prison, and devoured no less than twenty-five pounds of German yeast, which hap: ?ened to bo in the sain? carriage. The audition of tho misguided pig, when tho I yeast began to rise, may be imagined. He was quito unable to bear his suddenly acquired greatness, and gave up the ghost in a multitude of sighs, which is quite explicable under the circumstances. But now the question is who is to pay tho damage for whnt? The railway com nany t repudiates all responsibility. Ia tho owner of tho carcass*to proceed against tbo owntr of the yeast for tho loss of his boar, or is the ex-proprietor of the yeast to proceed against the owner of the K'g for tho loss of his merchandise? minent counsel hold that tho claim of both parties lies against the constructor ox the cage ; but the builder contends ?at the cago was never calculated to ithstand the frantic efforts of a pig ung into frenzy by the tomptatio*. of twenty-five pounds of yeaet placed nader his very nose. ihg^id^ y|cr<| even if they bad to resort fo revolution to defeat it, and herice it Was ' found im possible to inaugurate Packard without th? n?d nf tho army sud navy. This Ls the solo and only difference between Hayes and Packard. Let Hayes say What he may, Packard was as fairly elected Governor of Louisiana as he was elected Presideut ; and let Packard say what he may, Hayes was elected Presi J dent as fairly as ho was elected Governor. Both are frauds, tho difference bains ?hat one got away with tho swindle, and the other failed to do so.-N. O. Demovtai. -imii '? INVENTORS PLRAOTJED.-Many of tho schemes devised during exciting pvtjsan times are now returning io pleaguo tho inventors. Ten years ago, when the Re publicans had Congress and did not b wo the Executive, they en actor* a law remov ing the government advertising from tho Executive Departments and placing It in tho hands cf ibo Clerk of the House of Representatives. Thia was done for the purpose of csiug the patronage to build up Republican organs in tho South. Now that tho situation hos been re versed, and tho Republicans have tho Executive and not the Clerk of the ticuna, there is naturally some anxiety >n thci" part to effect a change in the aw. 1 utrageouely gives the Southern ?apcr ?o privilege of charging four inccs .r alt tho advertising done by ihcin. ^ No Opium ?
