NOTICE. 8EED RlYE AND BAILEY I FOR'SAL.E BY J. N. MARTIN & CO. WHAT I LOVE. I love the plowman's whistle, The reaper's cheerful song, The drover's oft-repeated shout, Spurring his stock along; The bustle of the market man, As he hies him to the town, The hallo from the tree-top As the ripening fruit comes down; The busy sound of the threshers, As they clean the ripened grain; The husker's joke and catch of glee 'Neath the moonlight on the plain; The kind voice of the drayman, The shepherd's gentle call These sounds of pleasant industry, I love-I love them all. IIS TRUE. LOVE. -0 Ralph Obauncey -had lived to be forty-three years old before he saw a woman he cared enough for to ask her to be his wife ; and, walking slowly up and down the wide piazza of his splendid coun. try seat, that warm, starlit July ligLt. with the waves of the Pas saic plashing silvery through the fragrant dusk, and the answering music of a southwest breeze stir ring, in low, mysterious melody, through the trees in the park, be was living it all over again-all the only life worth living-and it dated from the minute he had first seen Christie Layne's witch ing face. It bad happened so accidentally -Chauncey hadimany a time felt almost terrified to think how nearly it had come to not hap. pening at all. He had been late for his train-something that did riot occur once in a year, so regu lar and methodical were he in his habits-and a dainty young girl with big velvety-brown eyes and carnation-pink cheeks, and - a mouth like twin strawberries for lusciousness of tint and tempting ness of beauty, was belated, too, and the two mot, fate ordered, on the bridge to the ferryboat, three seconds after the gang-plank had been hauled aboard. 'That is exasperating to say the least,' he said, as he turned, with a half-vexed smile, toward 'his fellow-miserable. Then, when he saw the radiant, exquisite face, in all its girlish bloom and beauty, there went a feelng over and through and about him that was strangely un like anything he ever before had experienced in his forty-three years. She made her broad, white fore head pucker up into a charming little fr3wn as she glanced from the receding boat to his plain, honest face-just such a face as a woman would instinctively trust out of a thousand faces any where. 'I am very much disappointed, I woudn't have missed it for any thing; my fiinds will meet the train, and wonder what has be. come of me.' She turned back, disconsolately toward the ladies' waiting-room. 'If you will allow me to be o service,' he said, gravely, witi that deliciously-strange sensatior thrilling all over him, 'I will tele graph for you; and, as I have als< to wait for the next train, I wil be most happy to see you safel) to your friends.' 'Thanks, very much ! Please d< telegraph for me to Mr. SetI Adrian, at Patuna,-Broadway and explain. I am his niece Christie Layne.' Chauncey's face suddenly bright ened. 'Mr. Adrian is a valued frien< of mine. 1 am quite sure h would trust you with me,' and h< smiled. 'My name is Ralph Chaun cey-my place of business-Wal street, city.' That was their very informa introdction ; and, four hours la ter, Mrs. Adriao repeated'it, cere moniously, in her parlor, an then Well, it had all happened in th winter, nearly all of which seaso Christie had spent with the Ac rians, in their palatial homei Patuna's beautiful Broad way ; an the consequence was that RaIp Caney bad asked the girl I marry bim and she had not said him nay. In all the wide world there was not a happier, prouder man than Ralph Chauncey as he paced the piazza of his home, that warm July night. Two hours before, he had fair Christie in his arms, as he bade her good-night at her father's home in the city, and the remem brance of her kiss, light and dewy as the touch of a flower, lingered warmly with him. '1 will be so good-so good to her!' he was thinking, rapturous ly. 'She shall have everything in the world she wants-there shall riot be a wish ungratified that I can hear her express or I imagine she thinks. My bright, bonny little darling, she has flood ed my grave, quiet life with such blessed sunsbine! My little Chris tie! I wonder how it ever, ever came to pass that she could care for me?' It certainly did seem somewhat strange, when a purely disi*ter ested party took it into considera tion. Christie Layne, young twenty or more years younger than he; she was radiantly beau tiful, gay and girlish, while her betrothed was grave, quiet, almost retiring in his disposition, and possessing very few claime to be ing considered a good-looking marl. But he was so thoroughly good. He was as gentle as a woman, yet :6very whit inanly- and reso lute in whatever be did or said ; and, with a might and a force that sometimes half amazed himself, he loved the .girl who had prom ised to be his wife, who had let him clasp her to his heart, and received his ardent kisses on her smilling month. Yes, he was happy-undeniably, perfectly happy ; and into that rap turous peace, that brooded like a blessing over him, a friend of his entered, that same summer night -St. Elmo, honest and true, and sarcastic and plain-spoken, but whose out-and-out freeness of speech had never touched Chaun cey until this occasion, when, so very naturally, Christie's name was mentioned. 'I haven't said anything about your engagement,for Ididn't really think it would amount to much, St. Elmo said, in his off-hand way. 'Didn't think it would amount to much I' Ohaneey repeated, in a sort of amazed, mechanical way. 'No, I thought it wouldn't, and hoped the same. I don't approve of it, by any meanis, Ralph. That girl don't care a straw for you.' Chauncey looked at him in as. tonishment for a second, then a slow, red stain came in his face. 'That sounds rather rough, old fellow. Don't forget it is a sacrec subject to me.' 'Stuff and non sense!i It's a sub ject that can't be too highly illu minated with all the commoer sense that can be brought to bear I tell you you are in love till yet are blind, as a bat, and I shall d< my duty by you. That pretty lit te girl doesn't care that for you Ralph ; and I hate to see yo0 make suCh an idiot.of yourself. 'See here, St. Elmo'-an< Chauncey's low, cool voice wai ominously low and cool despit< its patience--'you must not expec I shall permit aay one to speak 8< to me about my personal affairs You-' St. Elmo looked a little defiant ly at him. 'Don't get obstreperous, Ralph I've known you, boy and mac a many year, and you don't sur pose, do you, I'll shut my eye and mouth when I see you al lowing yourmelf to be married fo your money, -and nothing bu your money ? .Tust another mit ute, Ralph. Let me say my say and I swear it is my first and las I-say on the subject ; but substrac your fort.une, your fine hous4 your horses, your servani.s-an pretty Miss Christie would giv -you the go-by I Try it-to pros my tratih.' SChauncey had listened with visible effort. S'After this I decline any inte: ference or. advice on the.subje4 Sof my .marriage. Have: a ciga C) Sit? I can conscientiously ra commend them - L -Espaneros brand, imported them myself.' And St. Elmo, having had his 2 say, was forever silent, while Chauncey, in his perfect love and ti trust, went his way, sererie and .M content, every day thanking heav- h' en for its mercies. - PI Until one bright. early autumn Of day, when he found himself away uptown about lunch time, and d stepped into a ladies' restaurant- s1 where, a minute or so after he m had given his order, and while be a] was looking half-idly, half-curious- 0 ly around him, be suddenly made h the delicious discovery that all te unconscious of his vicinity. Chi is. la Lie Layne was occupying a table ti not two yards from him, in com- bi pany with a lady friend-a bright, g vivacious young lady, in- black aL satin and jets, who sat facing him, while Christie's pretty back hair tu aad sloping shoulders were pre- sa sented to his admiring gaze. ai Another minute and he would a, have acted upon his first impulse c and joined them ; but fate had ar- T ranged it all for him, and instead o of obeying the impulse he heard h< himself spoken of in Christie's 01 own sweet voice, in a way that al hushed him into a strange. motion- ti less silence. p 'Of course you wouldn't have al Mr. Chauncey, Jennie-you needn't st tell me that. Neither would I, if st he badn't money.' B1 'But-so has Phil Devlinton 0 money, and you know he is dis- t, consolato because you broke your Itl engagement with him on Mr. p Chauncey's account.' e 'My middle-aged adorer has c more than Phil, anyhow,' Christie b asseverated lightly. 'He is hor- d rid, and there's no use dissembling e the fact.. He's old as Methuselah, it and grim as a church owl, and p whenever he kisses me, I-wish it o was Phil. Oh, I do, Jen, and you % needn't look shocked.' u 'Jen' laughed. 'You are an awful girl, Christie, Oh, you were going to show me sl his photograph I Let's see it. Of ri course you carry it next to your it !oving heart.' 81 'Oh, of course !' Christie said, a sneeringly, as she produced a pic- G ture of him he had given her a t, few weeks before, over which she t had gone into such pretty ecstacies n that e had felt a thousand-fold repaid. 'There ! it does seem ri, a diculous to think I should marry such a looking object, doesn't it ? n And Phil is so handsome ! See here r -the con ;rast." C And, to Jennie's honest aston ishment, Christie produced a lock- C et-picture of Phil Devlinton. 'Christie, yen are incorrigible ! Let's have a good look at your adorable. Great heaven I' and she leaned her face close to ChriBtie 's,1 'the original of that photograph isn't three feet away. Right be hind you-look !' With a little exclamation, Chris tie looked, her face paling to ashes, as,Mr. Chauncey bowed, ~ and stepped forward, and drooped his head near enough to prevent any one but they two hearing hisr few words. '1 am very fortunate in having made this charming discovery in ime, Miss Layne. Permit me to claim my property, and to wish you good-day. Good-by ! and bet ter success with Mr. Phil Devlin ton than you have accomplished -with me!' * * * * * * * Well-Christie went home and cried herself sick, and almost the1 first piece of gossip brought her wasthat Phil Dlevlinton and Jennie1 -Corraney were engaged; and, somehow, her spirits were broken and her beauty faded, and she - grew dull and ill-tempered, and ceased to be a favorite, and, in all probability, will die an old maid. tWhile Ralph Chauncey ~Well, it made life a very bitter thing for him for many a long day. But he was not the man to sit down and let himself become the toy of destiny. He fought down this great grief as best he could, and the time came when he was almost as contented as ever. ~And-wonder of wonders--St. Elmo never once said : e. ' told you so !' HE PRIME OF LIFE.-Between ages of forty-five and sixty a Ln who has properly regulated r.self may be considered in the me of life. His matured strength constitution- renders him al et impervious to an attack of ease,- and experience has given indness to his judgment. His nd is resolute, firm and equal; his functions are in the highest ler; he assumes mastery over , business; builds up a compe ice on the foundation he has i in early manhood, and passes -ough a period of life attended many gratifications. Having 3e a year or two over sixty, he -ives at a standstill. But ath ,rt this is the viaduct called the -n of life, which, if crossed in ety, leads to the valley of "old 3," round which the river winds, d then beyond, without boat or seway, to effect his passage. e bridge is,howev.r,constructed fragile material, and it-depends w it 's trodden. whether it bend break. Gout or apoplexy are o in the vicinity to waylay the veler and thrust him from the ss; but let him gird up his loins d provide himself with a fitter f, and he may trudge on in ety and with perfect compo re.

SAD FATE oF AN OLD BACHE LOR.-That blessed baby had been bowling in the street car for nine blocks,- says the Galveston News, until everybody else in the car had escaped except a bald-headed old Galvestonian, who rubbed the top of. his dome of thought, scowled,-stamped, fumed, and gave other evidence of being annoyed. 'I hope the baby don't disturb you, sir,' said the mother., pleas antly. 'No, madam, it does not,' he said savagely gritting his teeth. 'I am so glad.
