These lines, crudely written, and with

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

' 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

"What about Hex?" 1 asked.
ITc jerked his thumb over his shouldei

"Doyer see that boy?" ho asked. 1

the assertion.

Their little distillery was located in

Hut finally his consuming love made
him bold. One day at the distitlory

'Ob, Ilea, you tease!" she exclaimed,

To add to his contusion, Jeetnt Baskios
caught sight of him, and bawled out:
"Ha, ha, ha, lookee yonder. Hez is

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

which had been flitting through Hez's

had enjoyed the distraction of being the

Every woman has a spark of romance
in her composition. Every woman likes
0 to do things that smack of romance,and
this mouo'ain maul was no exception.
1S She finally yielded to llez's plan for an

e afternoon they would elope. Together
thev would go over into Gilmer County

,0 there was no danger of being teased.

t looked upon their union with favor.

would have accepted the announoomen

The minister bad to talk to them, and
' everybody else plied them with gaestions. *<
IIex be?ran to think that eloping waa not ^
what it was represented to bo.
As long as he lives Hob will remember s<
the marriage ceremony. He will re- fi

tho keenest misery and hoping that the
earth would open and swallow him up. 0
It was a^ony to the poor fellow. t(
But when the ceremony was over mat* b,

youngsters. ,
"He's 'shamed to kiss 'er!" they yelled w
derisively. Everbody was laughing.

Confused, crestfallen, miserable, agonized.
ilez pushed aside the crowd. *
"Let me git out!" he said, and in one w
bound he reached the door.
Once outside, his one idea was to get p<
away. lie never thought of returning ni
to be tortured by that crowd. He found lr
his way to the big, open road and, for- 01
tunately, struck out in tho direction of at
his home.
He hit the road in'a trot, and once in jy
it, ho increased his speed amazingly. ^
Down the road with streaming coat tails ^
and open mouth this groom flew like the Q|
wind. Down hills, up hills, over level ?a
places, through forests, over branches,
this discomfited and dismayed husband
dashed at a clipping pace. He never Pc
stopped to think, the idea predominant 7 '
iu his mind was to get away.
How far ho would have run if be had t><

For live miles he flew like mad over tho 80

rushed into the arms of three men. la

Tho Weather Bureau. P
The Weather Bureau Department ot
tho United States service was, ou its or- ^
ganization, placed in charge of the chief j,
signal officer of the United States army, ^
hence the name?Signal Servico?-by
which it has heen know until recently.
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. W. Smith, of the Weather Buroau,ou
the relation of the bureau to agriculturo,
it is said that the actual work l?egaa November
1, 1870, with the 7:.' 15 a. m. ob- 8
sorvation taken at twenty-four different v
station* in various parts of the whole n
country. These were telegraphed to i:
Washington, the central station, and f
Uience transmittc I in the same manner c
to oiticcs located at the commercial t
centres of the entire country, to be dis- t
nominated through the daily papers and t
by other methods. 1
Upon the foundation thus laid'has t
been erected the present wcatiier aer t
vice. February 19, 1871, was issued 1
the first bulletin of "probabilities,'*since c
called "indication"',' and now "fore- r
casts." Thus far the labors of this ser? I
vice were chiefly in the interest of agru c
culture. Tho nex' step was the display 1
of storm signals at stations on tho Sea- v
board, the Gulf and the great lakes. r
Tho great territory of tho United c
States has been divided into districts, '
and by making a special study of each
the "forecasts" are made more definite *
and exact for each of them, thus more '
effectually pioniotiog the interests of the v
lurmcrs therein. r

Artificial Coloration of Birds.
The distinguished naturalist, Dr.
lauermann, has published a series of
cry curious observations touchi ng tlio
rtificinl coloration of biids. The fact
s recognized, says he. that canary birds

olor and pass from yellow to red.

inctorial substaucc, contains nn irriating
principle and an oily maticr.
rVheu these two latter principles are exracted
through maceration in alcohol,
he pepper loses its coloring property
ipon the plumage of the birds; but if

naccration the coloring action reappears,
t is inferred from this that the oily part
