A farmer sat at his kitchen door, Smoking his noonday pipe, And over the fields his eyes were cast, Where the grain so golden ripe, Nodded away Through the summer day, With shadows and sunshine hard at play. Down by the gate the farmer saw (And be chuckled low in glee)l Two, who whispered together there. "SoI" said the farmer. "I see If I guess aright, And their skies are bright, There'll be harvesting soon with main at might." The weeks went by, and the old barn groanc With the might of harvest store I But the farmer laughed, for well There remained one harvest more, Since Cupid had sown, With grain of his own, A crop that love must harvest alone. The fatmer sat at his kitchen door, W hen the evening meal was do;e, And he laid a kiss on his daughter's brow, And welcomed his new-found son; And the harvest time, With wedding bells' chime, Sang its days into merry rhyme. FOUND. --o "Young ladies, this is Miss De mar." All eyes turned towards th madame, as, leading a little dar' figure by the hand, she cam among us. It is An embarrassin position to meet for the first tim the gaze of fifty critical eyes; bu Miss Delmar bore it bravely. Thel and there I took a fancy to tb little thing with her sweet fac and great pleading eyes. Ours was a fashionable schoo and Miss Delmar's dress was ver simple and of cheap material, bu it was worn with that indesribf ble grace which betokens the lad; and which no more outside el< gance can give. 1 f'ound I had not made a mi~ take in my quickly formed est mate of her, and before long w became the dearest of friends. * I noticed Ruth never meontione her parents, and that when th other girls were eagerly ingqairin for expected letters she was a ways silent. So one day, I aske her : "Ruth, are you an orphan ?" Instead of answering, her darl eyes filled, and putting her arm around my neck she burst int tears. I never asked her an; questions. after that, for I kne' there must be some sad story i her life, and not for worlds woul I give her pain. Time passed ; and the girls wer all preparing to go home for vi cation-I with the others ; an much to my joy, Ruth consente to go with me. Ibad written an asked papa, and he never havin refused me anytbhing in my lif wrote back a card of invitatior We were home. How good seemed to roam over our hous with a companion ! I never ha had a sister, and my mother ha died, leaving me, a little, lonel girl of six, to be the only mistre: of "Ormsby Hall," as' our plac was called. I felt very glad when I saw thi papa was pleased with my frien< and Howard my brother, usuall so indifferent to strangers, treate her with the most marked cour esy. As the weeks glided by, I bega to notice a strange changei Howard. He, who had nev4 seemed to care for the society < ladies, began to make excuses t be with Ruth and me, joining 1 in our walks; and dropping h beloved law books to take up tl croquet mallet. Ruth's dark cheek had a brigh er tint at those times; and, wit the romance of eighteen, I at ont made up in my mind a love stor; and brother Howard and nm friend were the "dramatis pe sonae." But my pretty drea was shattered when one day Rui camne to me with a very wbi face, and said that she must leas me and return to school. "Go back to school ! and bef'o: me ! Why, Ruthie!" .And then, still with that whit pare fac' TRnth told me ti reason. My brother Howard had told her he loved her, and she had refused him. Taking her by both arms I held her off to look into her face. "Ruth, you do love him? Do not deny it, for I see it in your eyes! Why do you refuse him ?" Then she spoke : "Sadie, dear friend, let me tell you my story,land that will ex plain why 1 cannot enter your family as your brother's wife, and your sister." We sat down together on the A sofa, and as I held her hand she told me her sad story. fIer mother d had died, leaving her an infant, in the care of adissolute father, who, while she was still a mere girl, had committed a robbery, and been imprisoned. Then she had gone out into the world alone and friendless, until she had found a place in a large family to take care of the young children. By strict self-denial she had saved enough money to pay for her ed udation at madame's, with the in tention of becoming a teacher. That was all. Pressing my lips to her soft cheeks, I said, impulsively: C"Why, Ruthic, is that the only reason you refused Howard ?" . "The only reason," she rep.eated, sadly-"yes, and surely ieason enough. I-" k Here an unexpected interrup e tion occurred. The draperies parted from an e 4pcQye near, and my brother t stepped into the room. a Ruth gave a little cry as she e saw him, (oh! how noble he e looked!) And -well she might; for almost in a~single instant her slight figure- was clasped tightly in his arms. . Then, regardless of me, he spoke -reproachfully, but oh, so tender Y ly! And Ruth just let herself stay in his strong arms, and did not shrink when he lifted her face *to read his answer in her soulful .eyes. I stole away-they did not Sheed me. At last I had a sister, Howard told papa all of his dpromised wife's story and the dear eold gentleman spoke, as I knew he would, words of kindness and .counsel, and laid his hand in bless ding on my Ruth's dark head. So Ruth gave up her idea of going back to school, and we were Sall as happy as happy could be. SThis week we were to give a gar oden party, and all the young and old of the neighborhood were in Svited. -Some of the older people npreferred to stay in the parlors, dand there papa brought Ruth, to sing for them his favorite Scotch eairs. Of course, I was there too, .and Howard was not far off. d Ruth looked lovely tha.t night din her white dress, with creamy r iosebuds nestling, as if thoroughly gcontentedn io r bosom and hair. 1 , had never seen her wear any jew Selry before, and 1 noticed on her Sround, white arm an elegant brace let. d As she sat there, the jeweled d clasp of the bracelet on her arm , gleamed and caught the light, and as I saw old Judge Morris, my fa a ther's dearest friend, start vio lently and bend forward, looking t intently at the player's arm a look of suppressed excitement was in yhis face, and after she had done I saw him go and speak aside to SHoward, awhile. Then they left the room together. .The hours swiftly flew by, and it camne time for- the party to r break up. f The next day Howard went y away (on -business he said.) He s returned in a few days, and one is morning shortly after the bell e rang, and some one wished to see Ruth .in the library. Wondering Swho it could be, and fearing she 1h. knew not what Ruth went down. e A time elapsed, and she came back. As she went to the toilet table and took up the bracelet :lying -there, I noticed the strange n expression her face wore. bh "Ruth, what is it ? What has e happened ?" e Stooping, she dropped a sudden kiss on my forehead and exclaim e ed : Oh ! Sadie, how can I ever thank e you enough ?" o Before T could speak she was gone, and I was left alone wit my wondermnCt. Aftera while Howard came--h too, with his features sLrangel working. "Sadie. come to Ruth," he saii Whop. I opened the library doc [ started back, for there, sittin iido by side,, as close as if the ere lovers, were my father lear friend and my Rutbic. As mtered, Judge Morris rose an look my band in both bis owi [Uis eyes were full of tears, an als voice faltered as he said : "Miss Sadie, let me give you ather's thanks. Through God infinite mercy you have been t: iieans of bringing mne to my Ion ost child." All was soon explained. Judu Uorris had married early in li i beautiful French girl, and aft< *ome years an infant was bo rhe mother died soon after, an ll that was left to the bereave husband was his child. He ha in his employ a servant who ha lived with him a few years, and i hom he had great confidence bit after A time be began t0 su pect him of dishqnesty, and aft< )btaining sufficient proof he taxc im with it and discharged hir That night his little girl wi missing. Ilewards were offere but no clue to. his lost child coul be found. The cabinet containin is wife's jewels was gone, to, ind it was conjectured that t] ief bad fled to a foreign countr: rhe bracelet with the je.wel( .asp which had attracted his a ,ention on Ruth's arm, he iim, liately recognized as one of h wife's ornaments. He had spoken to Howard, as 3ad noticed that night and, Hov ird's "business" the next da ws to the prison where PRuth supposed father was confined; at )n obtaining permission to see tb prisoner, my brother had gain rom him the confession that I nd Judge Morris's servant wei ne and the same, and that tI bild he had stolen for reveng was the girl who bore the nanr >f Ruth Delmar. He had give Lhe bracelet to .Ruth, and told he it was her mother's. As Judge Morris paused, Rut raised her lustrous eyes, whit bad been hidden on my shoulde and then, with one thrilling cr is if unable to be parted longe te newly found parent and chi were clasped in each other arms. Ruth did not go back to schot but went to her father's homn There, after a little while, Hoi ard went, too. Judge Morris cu not consent to let his new four aughter leave him, and t] young couple agreed to make b~ home theirs.

BROADBRIM'S PARIS LET TER. NO. 21. s The United States Department. I -- d If there is one characteristic a. which distinguishes the United ] d States Department more than ano ther, it is the practcal every day a utility of everything you see. To. 's the European who has studied ! 1c Brother Jonathan through the me- I g dium of Sam Slick or the broad I caricatures of Yankee Hill, it is a E e somewhat startling revelation that Ee the young man who was once Bro r ther Jonathan, but has now become .. Uncle Saa, is one of the most or d namental and aesthetic of all orna d mental and aesthetic persons. His i d Kentucky jeans which used to reach ] d half way between his ankle Ltd his n knee are changed for' the fnest of ; cassimers, his necktie of blue or s- yellow or green is replaced by the r most immaculate of chokers. He d never wears an Alexander larger a. than six and three-quarters, and ts the set of his superb swallow-tail i, is the wonder and delight of all Ld the young bloods along the boule g vards. Brother Jonathan is not i , what he was and Sister Jonathan ie is not what she was. "Our Gal," . as pictured by Mrs. Williams a few d years ago, who walked around in a 1 t- blue pinafore with the most absurd ] e- knot on the top of her head, and 1 is was constantly kicking up her heels to the tune of "Bobbing Around" I can scarcely be- found in Paris. 7- All through the Exhibtiou you Y realize the change that has taken 'I- place in everything American in id the last thirty years. e I remarked, at the opening of d this letter, that the practical utility e of things in the American Depart e'e maent was the most striking charac e teristic ; but with that utility is dis; e played a taste unsurpassed by that e of any other nation. One of the dis n tinguishing features of the French r Department is the beautiful man nerin which the goods are put up,but h the Americans seem to have brought bh this peculiarity to the dignity r, of a high art, and the maner in which y, it is done almost entitles it to the rr, dignity of a science. Allen & Id Co., of Richmond, of whom I spoke ' last week, exhibit only tobacco ; but on the various classes of goods >, are labels costing thousands and e. thousands of dollars ; works which, r- if exhibited as specimens of art, Id might have carried off the gold ien prize -of the Academy. In le the Department of Food a firm is from the West exhibits lard ; the roof of their little building has been *decorated by an eminent artist and to is - one of the most beduftiful works , in the entire Exposition. The labels y.which cover the goods of this firm s are of unsurpassed beauty, and yet is they are only an advertisement for of lard which is the most unpoetic le and uns'entimental of all the sub of lunary things. Hogs lard and er poetry, pigs and sentiment, fried o bacon and asthetics,-great must h he be who can unite these three, yand this the Americans have done, e and done with a perfection which ii. entitles them to the highest credit. at Distin & Sons exhibit saws and es tools,- a very simple announcement is indeed ; and yet every article is as Lh bright and as beautiful as if it a were made for exhibition in a lady's to boudolir; wrenches, punches, ham re mers and saws rivalling the ice re brooks temper. It used to be the se test of the famed blades of Toledo r that yon could bend them till the .t point touched the hilt. I think, so from what I have seen, that you of could tie one of Distin's saws into T- a bow knot and afterwards draw 3d mathematical lines with it of a if thousand to the inch. ut Madame Demorest is here with a o, case of paper fashions, and if she Ly would only teach our wives and 3 daughters to dress in the material 2 with which she decorates her mod d, els, she would lay the people of the - United States and Europe under a lasting obligation.

The frights it di Las given me, and the nights' rest it tt ias destroyed, have left a heavy bal- m nce on my moral ledger for com- fl< )eUling me to use language which l nay po -sibly have endangered my in alvation. So I must, therefore, be ii cused if I do not share in the ci reneral hallucination which looks s tpon execrable invention in the ci ight., of a public benefactor.

A gentlemanly looking person is there to show you how they shoot and he looks as though be would blow the top of your ead off with the greatest of pleas are and without any extra charge. One of the guns is a very elaborate, md.speaking from a military stand-g point, a very handsome piece, hough I never look at these grim Gatlings, but I think of heads and legs and arms flying in the air as I thick as snowflakes in a storm.a They certainly are remarkable guns', and they look as if it might do one good to be peppered by one of them. As far as I am concerned, I trust, I may be able to hold that pleasure in reserve till George Fran is Train is elected Dictator over the American Union. Who would hve imagined, a few years ago, that Yankee doodledom would have invented a process for boiling the meat of Europe's hungry millions,r and yet it is so. The Wilson Packing Co.; of Chicago, have here an exhibition of boiled tongues, hams and corned beef, which is pro nounced by judges (and I am one of them) equal to the very best they have ever eaten. The extent of the trade in cooked meats by the Wilson Packing Co., is one of the most astonishing of modern enter prises. You see it sold in all the little back towns of Germany and France. Scarcely a shop where gro- a ceries and eatables are sold but has it in its windows. At Pesth, in Hun gary, you can find it in all the Bier Halles ; through Russia, Norway t and Finland, it is as well known as Caviere or Schweitzer kaese. All the restaurants of Paris serve it, and it is as common in Berlin and i Vienna as it is in Milwaukee or Chicago. Knowing the prejudice entertained against such things throughout Great Britain generally, 'j I was considerably astonished to find it all over London, and de iget fnaan of their corned s lef in the lunch which was sent ter me up the lakes of Killarney, id which I enjoyed with a jolly t of companions not far from the ap of Dunloe. So impressed with te excellence of this exhibit was ir French cousins, that .they have varded to the Wilson Packing Co., gold: modal, the very highest ven in the department to which ey belong.

The old man was oiling the inges of the stove door,'and care issly . singing one of Beethoven's est, when a middle-aged woman ntered the station and began : "Mr. Joy, are you a good man?" "Wall, tolerable-tolerable," he Aplied. "I never dropped a bad ickel into the street car box, and never have been fishing on Sun ay." "Mr. Joy, I am canvassing for ioney to buy Bibles, and so forth, >r the African heathen," she con nued, as she exhibited a pass ook. "Are, eh! Does he seem to raut a Bible ?" "He does.

"And I've got to meet fire and fe insuirance, new rents, taxes, nd-" "Put down what your noble cart dictates," she said, as she anded him the book.
