I am a bachelor, and of coarse ever}*-; Jxidy knows it; but they wilL not sto)> at that, hut want to know why I am a bache- j lor, and now I am going- to t**ll. I have been askpd the question, ""Whyi did you never marry ?" several thousand. times, at least, and now I am going to make , it known to a "frowning world" and take j the consequences. Some time ago I swore vengeance against* the next man who should ( mention the subject in my presence, our as the next person was a maiden aunt I gave ' up the idea of keeping1 my secret^ My j story does not commence with "A fair sum-, mer evening " nor "JOuoe upon a time" but limply this way. I was farming a few acres in a Southern State near the plantation of old William' Thomas Storrs. This William Thomas; Storrs had negroes, hounds and land, and ! the nicest girl (I though then) that ever; was. Her name was as dear to me then as my own (ahem!) and the sound of Vic-! toria Evangeline used to make my heart j beat faster than anything else unless it was the dinner horn. As the old man had never taken much of j a shine to me, our love affairs had been kept a secret. One Sunday evening I hadi made all preparations to pay a visit to the , Storrs Plantation and, if possible, get a I word with Victoria Evangeline. But I was disappointed on account of a throe days rain, which commenced on Saturday and j continued over Sunday. During the next week I tinted no onions j - - - 1 : and smoked but once, anci vnen ouncitty i evening came I rubbed my boots thorough- j' ly with bacon rind, darned my jvmts on the i knee, and a few other . pla?e.-j, and started.'' I had about three miles to go, through j' heavy timber, and a email creek to cross on' [ the way. When I had goue about half the j distance it suddenly began to grow dark,; and commenced to rain. I got under a tree, but in tive minutes it was worse;there than anywhere else. If the man who invented getting under a tree during a rain-storm had been wrfhin my reach then, there would have been a i tragedy enacted there, and this story would never have been told. The rain came pour- i ing over my head and shoulders, and down the back of my neck; but in half an hour the, clouds cleared away, and the moon shone; so bright and inviting that I determined to' push on wet as I. was. My only fear was I x that the creek, which was within about a: quarter of a mile of the house, would be, swollen by the rain so that I could not' /.ross it: for in that case, my journey would be in vain. "When I was within a few rods of the | creek, I heard a rush in the hushes near me. ^ d I jumped for a tree without waiting to j pee what it was. I had reached the firatj limb when I heard the dreadful bayiug of a , hound under my f et. Now, if there is anything beside a woman j that I lam afraid of, it is a dog. I never! was particular as to size. I am just as i much afraid of rat terriers as mastiffs; and I h^re I was, a prisoner guarded by one of j c 11 Storrs' hounds. I expected every mc.j inent to hear voices under me, and feel aj bullet or club, for I knew the Storrs were j death on the coon and possum hunt. There; I sat shivering on a limb, wet and chilled j all over. Nothing short of a gold mine! would have induced me to come down and i face that dog; but as no one offered me a j gold mine, or anything else, I remained on' 'my airy seat. I whistled, swore, and called the dog pet names, aud then went near the ground and asked him if I could come down. All was still for a few moments, and I > was making ready to jump to the ground,! when I was startled almost out of my wits. by hean'ng an unearthly growl, ac-' companied by a fearful bark and howl combined. This was too much for me. Ij was always a little nervous, and this nn- i welcome surprise totally unstrung me. I With a crash and a cry, mingled with ahowl, I fell downward, and struck square on the dog's back. In an instant I was on my feet and making tracks in some direction? where I knew not. After running for half an boar I stopped j to rest and find out where I was going, and j see if I was pursued Finding that I was j not, I rested ; but where I was I could no! tell. I wandered on in the darkness, foil the moon had gone down and I could hardly pee my way. I whs very sleepy?felt just as though I could easily go to sleep on! the ground and sleep forever, if it had not been for the hound I had left behind me! Ou I went?stumbling over logs and strik- j ing my nose against every tree that was in my reach. Suddenly 1 saw before me what appeared to be a house. I made for it with a rushi and after falling three times I reached forth my hand and felt a wall. The next thing to find was a door, so I commenced feeling I carefully round with one hand, and guarding my nose with the other. After going along three wans m ioi8 manner i cume cy a fourth, and there fotjpd a door. I knocked and pounded, and yelled until I was hoarse, but received no response. I am a very even tempered man on most all occasions, but this was too much for me. I stepped back about two feet, spit on my hands, and made a rush for the door, intending to kick it open when I arrived. ' | I arrived and kicked, but that door es. j caped my avenging foot, for the latter 6truck a solid oak sill under the former^ j end from that hour forth the sole of my j right boot was absent from its fellow, and the favorite toe that, one7 short moment be- j fore (the collision) had been most promi- I nent among1 its companions, was now "stove ! up," far from its former position, in the di-i t rection of my heeL "Wo^ds Cannot describe my feelings. I danced around on one foot for about a , quarter of an hour, thoroughly awak and howling like a tiend. Presently stumbled against the door, and, to m utter astonishment, it burst open, and i I went, sprawling, bitting my foot again: the door-jamb and running my elbo through the bottom of a chair. I made a few appropriate remarks, e: tricated myself, and arose, still remarkin ?no matter what Now whose house wt I in, and where were the ir.mates, that I ha not aroused them in this confusion. Aft< knocking over two chairs, one stove, tabl< and boxes, I reached a kind of shelf han{. ing from the wall. For a wonder, the first article I touche that was movable was a box of matche Never since the fall of Adam was the mean of obtaining light more warmly welcome* With eager, trembling hands I scratched o the wall to light it, but it was no go?tt match, or the wall, or both, was wet threw it away, and, in bo doing, knocke over the box and spilled the contents on tt floor. I picked another one up and trie it as before, but it was useless. I sat dow on the floor and tried about two hundre matches sixteen different times, and at las struck a light, but just as it was growin from childhood to ripe old age I took sudden fit to sneeze, and you know as we as I do that the match went out I picke up another, with all the noble courage c my illustrious ancestors and commence ?oing over them all again. I must hav fallen asleep where I was, for the last thin I remember on that memorable evening was sitting on the floor, tiying to strili "? 1 o n anrri' matcnes ana xaucmg-10 rvu. m ^ ~..b. way. ***** When I awoke I was lying- on the floe in m}- own house, my head resting: gentl Hgainst the corner of the stove, while m body was completely surrounded by whs looked to be the wreck of a match facton The sun was pouring- in his hot rays at th open door; the birds were singing- sweetl; without, and all nature seemed animate' with new life. I thought it was all a horrible dream, wicked delusion and a snare; but when attempted to rise, my sore toe caused me t change my mind and showed how apt th human mind is to err, especially when jus aroused from slumber. After I got things straightened ont a lii tie and was eating my breakfast, Deacoi Hall rode up to the door, and said,? "Brother Peckham, why didn't you com to church this mornin' at ten ?" "What church at ten to-day ?" I askec in no little surprise. "Brother Peckham," said he severelj "you know we have meetin' every Sunda; at ten;" and with a painfully pious look h rode solemnly away without saying anothe word. It was several minutes before I coul recover from the shock his words had o< casioned. "Was it possible that I coul' have made such a mistake, and to day wa Sunday instead of the day before 1 Vfha if it had not rained, and I had not got los and had went on and seen Victoria Evange line, and she would havo known what fool I was ? I turned mournfully awa; and went into my domicile. I tried to fe? happy, and be thankfid for all my bad luc on the previous day, and think it was a for the best This took considerable selJ control, but I was about conquer when I h: my toe again?all was lost! I knew i was Sunday, for old Hall never jested o lied about anything. My mind was mad up in an instant I would tiy it again if had to go all the way on one foot I knew the road was wet and mudd^ and I would be in a ruined condition on a< count of the mud; but I was not to I balked now. I put on a new pair of ovei alls, rolled them up to ray knees, an with my boots under my arm struck boldl forth in the direction of the Storrs plant! Hon. The sun was almost down when I le: home, but I did not care for this as th eky was clean and the moon would shir in a short time. I trudged along1, whistlin and limping-, as merry as I could be und< the circumstances. When the sun wet down and darkness bt'gan to spread ii dreary wings over the surrounding scener; a kind of lonely feeling began to steal ov( me. I knew I neai-ed the creek, and th darkness proved to be much greater tha I had expected?so dark, in fact, that I ha to get down on my knees to find the fo< log. But find it I did, and commenced 1 "coon" it across on my hands and knee When about half-way the log suddenl made a crook, or I slipped, or somethin else?at any rate I fell off, kicking an Bplashing into the m uddy water below. Kind reader, bear with me for net rela ing what was said and done from the tun I struck the water until I reached the op posite bank. But I did reach it, and no\ I was reckless?mad?desperate. Nothing eould have stopped me. I was mon determined than ever to see Victoria Evan geline. I reached the abode of my beloved ii safety and found my way round to th back door. The agreement between u was that she should be near the door ever; Sunday night, so that she could hear nv signal if I should come. The a'gn&l agree* upon was three scratches on the dooi With a beating heart and trembling linger I approached the house. I scratche; twice and was preparing for the third, vrhei a voice that I knew belonged to old \Yul.?ui Thomas himself, said,? "Vick, open the door and drive that con founded dog away ! I don't want him ii heve!" I jumped back as quick as the Lon would let me, and hid behind a bush, had scarcely got settled when the doo opened, and out came the idol of my dreamt She closed the dool' and said,? "Seth, is that you ?" "Thou art right," I murmured, advanc ing, and trying to think of some suitable stanza of tioetrv. | But nay memory failed me. I woul< have given worlds if I could have though | of even one line of "Mary's little lamb, : "Twinkle, twinkle, little star," or any thins else. I was just putting together a i'ev lines from old "Mother Goose's Melodies,' when my charmer interrupted me with,? "Seth Peckham, what are you after? I stood stunned with astonishment am grief, while she continued, "Well, if yoi don't know, I do ! and if you know what' best for yourself, yo'u wou't stay, on tlies parts more than a very short time; for i you do I will call my husband, and hav ^him set the hounds on you !" j "Your husband!" 1 gasped; "who 01 sarin is your uusu.tnu y I "My husband is Mr. Dick Tony?in; father's overseer.

II fTHK WOKSr OF ANTS. | The worst insect pest of tropicid Amerio is the ten-ible fire-ant (Mynnica scBvlmma whose sting is likened to ihe punc ture of 6 red-hot needle. It is found only on sand ? soils in open places, and seems to thriv ^ most, near houses and in weedy village: '8 Towns are sometimes deserted on accour ^ J of this little tormentor. It if a small spe( ies, of a shining red color, not great! differing from the common red stingin >r ant of our own country, except that the pai y and irritation caused by lis sting are muc y greater. Where it abounds, the whole so 11 is undermined by it; the ground is pei ' I forated with the entrances to tlieir subtei 0 'ranean galleries, and a little sandy dom P , occurs here and there where the insect ^ bring their young to receive warmth nea the surface. Homes are overrun wit a them; they dispute every fragment of foo * with the inhabitants, and destroy clothin 0 for the sake of the sfjych. All eatable 0 have to be suspended in baskets from tli j rafters, and the cords well soaked wit (copaiba balsam, which is the only mean ~ j known to prevent them from climbing 11 j They seem to attack persons out of shee I malice.

The next morning this patier j arose with a wonderful sense of rest an a refreshment, and feeling as though th j blood had been literally waohed, cleanse ^ and cooled, by the lemonade and fast. Hi , theory is that food can be used as a remed a for many diseases successfully. As an e) y ample, he cures spitting of blood by the uf 'l of salt; epilepsy, by watermelons; kic k ney affections, by celery; poison, by oliv q orsweet oil; erysipelas, by pounded crniibei p. ries applied to the part affected; hydropht jj bia,byonions, etc. So the way lo ke?jt in poo t health is really to know what lo eat, ana t r know what mediciims U> take. e ?

Bliss, of Bradford, Vt, adopted a y novel way to keep crows from his corn. A y few days ago he for id quite a flock busily engaged in a Iwelve- tcre lot belonging to j him. He procured a couple of small spring ^ traps, such as are u^d in catching muskg. rats,. and set them fome distance apart ^ between the * rows, scattering along a 1 fffw kernels of corn. Not long after he } heard a hubbub and cawing in the field loud enough to awaken the mythical seven sleept ere, while the fence rnd trees near by were j' nearly black with cro" s. He didn't trouble them for a couple of hours, though they I j:j u.r ortntirmal noise, after ^ U1U U11U uy uicu . ?... which he released tbe two caught in ihe r traps. Since that time the crowa have J given that field a wide berth, not having j been seen in the immediate vicinity. This way of getting rid of crowa seems much a_ preferable to shooting, as no Northern bird does so much scavenger work as the crow. BEWARE OF FISH KOXES.

He j had eaten nothing for some days before w his death. By advice of his physician hs y went to the Roosevelt hospital, where he was taken with a weakness as soon as he n was placed upon a bfd. A coroner made a jj past mortem examination, and found death jl was due to asphyxia from the pressure on thetr achea,of a large abscess in the oesophap-ns. resulting from swallowing and lodjj O ? o w ? ment of a fish bone.

One-half is used in d printing, a sixth in writing, and the other for o packing and other purposes. The United States averages 17 pounds per head; an Englishman consumes Hi; a German, "8 pounds; a Frenchman, 7 pounds; an Italian, 3i pounds; a Spaniard, 1$ pounds; and a Russian only 1 pound annually, on an o average. This would indicate that Amencans are the most extensive reading people ^ in the world.
