These lines, crudely written, and with words misspelled, are the Bequel to a little drain* from real lite which fell I under my innne iiute observation, and with this preface I will relate it here. " Several months ago there was a curious pair of inooushineri v intlned in the Atn laiita jail, serving out a sentence. In ,f my daily visits to the jail I used to spend a a great deal of time watching thorn, i- They were not ordinary moonshiners, in > actions At least. The other moonshiners ' referred to them as "Hezekiah Boipgletree and his |top," and that's who found thein to Ire later ou. r This odd couple did not minglo with * the crowd of prisoners who were continually possipiug away the hours. They " always sat apart, talking together, and U apparently enjoying each other's comk panionship greatly. The older of tho r> two men was a heavy fellow of about lifty years- a typical mountaineer, with flowiqg red beard and hair of a dnrker shade. The other was some thirty years | hia junior, but he had the same features, ana mo saint: inuld. Tlie only differ * enco between them was that one was younger ami his tace was froo from the heavy beard which covered the face of - the other. I Day by tiny I watched this strangely assorted pair with intercut. One day tin older one, who had noticed mo watching them beckoned mo to come over to whore the two wer? sitting alone.

"Well," ho continued, | "that's the hashfullest cuss iu crca^ shun!" He brought his open palm down 011 his big fat leg to give emphasis t< the assertion.

Their little distillery was located in picturesque ravine, which would hat delighted an artist. In this beautifi and secluded spot no revenue officer evi ir set foot, and for years the Sniggletree and Baskins made mountain dow, witl out ever being discovered. They Rtorc ' away the results of their labors an smiled in cool defiance of tne intern; revenue laws. ~ Now, they might have gone on for 9 ipiartcr of a century in tl?i? way an ^ their coffers might have swelled wit V richness, but for oue thing that came a pass.

When Ilez's lore for Peggie began, h< could never tell. It * jen* grow'd 01 him," he said, and he awoke to the con 0 sciouaness that he was in love one tin* morning. How many hundred time dul ho plan to speak to her, and how g many hundred times did his resolutiou fail in her matchlets presence. Hut finally his consuming love made him bold.

Covered with confusion Hez rushed 9 back to liis work, and for three whole 9 weeks he would not even look at Peggie on her visits to the stillhouse. But ail the tirno his love was growing warmer, ' and one day he grew bold again, when all eyes were turned away. "Peggie," ho said in a pleading tone, I'm u-goin' ter walk down the ravino with you." t She blushed prettily and laughed moderately. "Well, you air a stunuer," she declared . Hez was doubtful what was moant by that, and he debated mentally for a moi moot whether it was wiso to go with a young lady after haviug received such a criticism as that, but ho determined to goHe walked along hesido Peggie for quite a distance in silence. He wanted to say something. The words chokod in his mouth. "Peggie," bo said finally, getting his breath rapidly, "when I told you you wur purty as pinks, I meant it." "Oh, Mr. Hez!" she exclaimed in a shocked tone, and then she burst out laughing. llcz slopped stock still in the pathway bofore lior.

"What, run away?" she asked I "We'll eloj?o ter Giluier Counfctr." 8 tie* continued, "an' git married, whar # they don't know us.

Its duties wero to take and record r meteorological observations and to re- j port and give notice by electric telegraph ^ of the approach and the forco of storms, Q for the benefit of commerce and agricul- y culture. ^ In a paper read at a mooting of tho ^ Massachusetts Horticultural Society by J.
