FOR'SAL.E BY

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.

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

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

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

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. To quit metaphor, "the turn
life" is a turn either in
a prolonged walk or into
e grave. The. system. and
wers having reached the utmost
pansion, now begin either to
>se like a flower at sunset or
eak down at once. One -inju

DECLIVITY OF RIVEEs.-A very
ght declivity Suffices to give the
ning motion to-water. Three
hes per mile in a smooth,
raight channel gives a velocity of
out three miles an hour. T-he
Lges, which 'gathers the . wa
rs of the Himalaya mountains,
e loftiest in the world, is, at 1,800
iles from its mouth, only about
0 feet above the levet of the sea,
id to fall. these 800 feet in the
ecourse the* water requires
re than a month. The great

ly 500 feet in all that distance ;
ove the commencement of the
D00 miles it is seen descending
rapids and cataracts from the

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. I was afraid it
did-little tootsy wootsy, yum,
yum, yum.'
'No, madam, it don't disturb
me,' he said, still more savagely.
'Little tootsy flddlessticks only'
disturbs people in the adjoining
cour,y., It has made a chatter

And, s~pringing through the car
window, he gave a maniacal ha!
ha! ha ! and disappeared around a
corner.
THE GoA.-They were walking
in the fields, and Mary hesitated
to pass through a lane that con
tained a pugnacious-looking goat.
'Why, Mary,' said Charles, 'come
along ; this is the fir.st time you
ever refused me when I ask-ed you
to pass the butter.' Upon this
appeal, of course she hesitated no
looger, especially as she now
noticed that William was tethered.
While making a call at a neigh

and returned with a kitten in her
mouth, which she laid at the feet
