* IT nllio. would you like to drive down
to the island with mc 7 I uui going to
visit n patient thcro,' said Dr. Max Mar
shall, puttilig? his head in at the d >or of
the Hitting room, where llallie was prac
ticing si sonata.
'Yes, indeed ! anything to escape ihta
horried practice !' Hhe exclaimed, jump
ing up with at] air of relief.
'You are flattering, upon my word,'
paid her brother, smiling, as she da-hed
out of the room in search of her hat and
sack.
'II.>w does the pic-nic come on V ho
quuricd when they were fairly ou their
way.
'Oh, capital ! I invited them all to
day, aud not ono of them declined !
There is one girl in our class that I did
uot invite. Hut 1 nm sure my reasons
arc very good oiicb. 'i he girl's name is
lluldah Lautb, and she lives over on the
Ycbt sido of the islaud. II er father*is
nothing but a common fisherman, aud
as pour as poverty. He's coarse, and
uneducated 'and eommou. Helle Elmer
has seen him ; he weut to her father's
not long iifio with fish to sell, llulduh
used to go to schon! on the island, when
they hud any, but it baa been cloned for
the past mx :..out It's. Last term she
came to our school, aud Mr Kerby put
her into our class. To tell tlm truth,
she is a smtfrt scholar, but she is dread
fu.ly disagreeable Jin other ways. She
tnlk* very ungrammutically ami dresses
horribly; than, too, I feel very sure sin
has a b.-idAtcmpt-r.'
?Suppose lluldah had your opportuni
tics and advantages ! The lact that ah?
comes to school proves that sh* lias B?ine

How does she manage? Does site wall

?Shu haw a boat aud rows up when
the weather is nut too bad ; then sin

heard her say one day ; and she has no:
Leon absent ouru.'
'Now, lliillio, I wish you would invite
iier to your pic nie. (Jive her a chance:
you do not know what a kind word, or
look, or sei may do. Hut of course you
mu-t make up your mind to treat her
prcc:sely hs you do other guests, with
the same welcome and friendly kindness;
aud indeed*you will bo obliged to watch
a little to sec that others do not Blight
her or wound her feelings by thought
lers or uukiud^rcniarl.s. 1 know that
this Will uot be quite plcasuut, will, in
fhCt, require some sacrifice on your part,
but, nay word for it, jou uot rrgicat it
in the cud/
?But,' s.-id llallie, rather reluctantly,
'I do wish it watt auy other occasion ;
I'm afraid it will spoil all our pleasure
The l(hers will look upou her um an in
truder.' 'They will aoon cease to d<< so
if you use lact; and Greta aud 1 will be
I here tc help you.'
?Bat I do not sec what ?ood is to
conic of it.'
?Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one of the leant of these my brethren yi
buve done it unto mo,' Mux said, gently
'I? that I I n 11 lab's llOUlU, do }OU Slip

wealhci beaten cottu-gc aitutcd at the
termination of the road, aud some du?
taneu below theui.
'It must be, us 1 was assured there
wus ho other house near the beach. 1
?hall have to be a little careful in dtiv
ing down. It looks rut her rough.'
It wus rough, but they got along
nicely, and soon drove up to the door.
Just un they stopped, lluldah horse 11
came round the corner of the house
with a pair of oars in her urtuB
?Good afternoon, lluldah,' said llallie,
cordially. 'We are just in time to catch
you, 1 sec. Let mc make you acquainted
with my brother, Dr."Marshall.'
Max lifted his hut with Kas much
deference us if lluldah had been a
queen. She in return flushed und bowed
rather awkwardly. She was, ns llnllic
had said, 'a striking looking girl' ot
rather a gypsyssh rast. A brunette
naturnlly, she wait icndorcd still darker
t r? in constant t xposofe. The etiect was
neutralized, however, by the rich color
that glowed in the rounded cheeks. Her
dark hair wus cut short aud nlung to hei
head in close curbing locks, like a boy's
Her eyes exactly (umtchod her hair in
color ntid were very Crank and pleasmt
in expression. Altogether she was uny
thing but uupleasing, and Max was vory
much struck with her appearance
?Won't you come into the house V she
said, putting tLe oars dowu. Her voice
(no, was pleasant; not the hurah tones
that Mat had expected to hear.
'No, thtink you; wc will not detain
you, 1 have Come to invite you to a pic

celebrate my fifteenth birthday. All

bc>-ides a few others. My brother, here,
ami sister Greta are fining, too, to keep
ub young people out of mischief,' and
Hallic laughed merrily. 'Wo arc going
in a yacht to Thompson's Grove, at the
lower end of the inland. We can stop
here for you, add that will save you the
juurnoy to town. I hope y\>u will go.
'Thank ye,' said lluldab, hesitatingly .
'Hut I s'pose the rest of the girls will be
dressed up. und you'll be nahamcd of uie
in a cutiker.'
'Indeed I shall not. I shall wear one
myself, so we will keep each other com
pany. You must jot hesitate on that
account.'
'You will lose time by coming in af
ter me, when you urc fairly under way,
and p'raps the captain v.on't like it.'
'It is nothing to him any way. We
hire bis boat for tho day, and of course
be is bound to do what wc wish htm to.
We afe to sta't from the wharf at one
o'clock, but I don't suppose we shall
reach here bi F??re two unless the wind is
very favorable. 'You will go, wou't
you V
li*c8j I'll go,' was Huldah's cone u
sion.
?You were going rowing, Miss IIul
dab, were you not ?' said Max.
'Yes, I go every day, almost. Would
n't ynu like to go'i I'd love dearly to
take you.'
Ilallio's eyes sparkled. 'Oh, T wish
wc might, Max !' ehe said eagerly. 'You '
can row, too, and help Huldah, you
know.'
'I should be most happy.' was the re
spouse; and in a few moments they were
skimming over the wotor propelled by
?iulduh'a powerful arm?, for she refused
Max's oilers of a?si.-tatieo with a laugh
'It's oothin' but play to uie, I'm so um.-d
to it,' she declared.
'We have had a delightful row, Miss
lluldab. I do pot know vthen I have
enjoyed one better,' Max said when the
were parting an hour later.
?Yes, iudeed.it wuspcrfc My splendid
added Hallic. 'And oh, 1 furgol to say [
that if it KtoritM on Wednesday, wc shall
have the pic nie on Thursday, Guud
bye till then.'
Wednesday dawned fair and cloudless,
and all was bustle at the Marshalls'.
Koxes and baskets and pails were irans
ported to the yacht ; Fred iu his jaunty
sailor suit darting iu and out, up stairs
and down, calling, now for twine, now
for nails ; pressing everybody into ser
vice, und creating a great commotion
alter his usual fashion, At last every
thing Was carried nw:ty, and the bouse
lesuuied its woiitud quietness.
The party assembled promptly, and
?just as the town clock struck one the
S.\ifi.' with swelling ?airs left the
wharf.
'Now we're off!' shouted Frod Mar
shall.
'Three cheers in honor of Miss Hal
lie's birthday,' said Harry Perkins,
waving bis bat, and all joined lustily in
the shout. Mirth prevailed, when sud
denly ("barley Lombard Fred's particu
lar crony, nud fully his equal in mis
chief, exclaimed, 'Why, wc are putting
iu to shore ; what's that lor '/'
'We ure going to* take in tho hist of
my guests, lluldab Lamb,' said Hallic,
quietly.
There was a movement of surprise,
and Helle and Maude looked at each
other with exprcsdons ol disgust, while
madcap May Tyrrel whispered, 'I
wonder if she will wear her murin'? best
?*
go-to-meet in' gown.'
Huldah stood on the beach, looking
very bright aud pretty. Her drcs* ol
pink aud white calico, though plain was
neatly made especially becoming.
'I had no idea that Miss Lamb was
lucll a fine-looking girl,' whispered Gus
Maynaid to Helle Himer.
'She is good-looking enoupfa if any
^ oue admired that style,' ?he responded,
1 rather ungraciously.
j Thompson's Grove was a faVoritc
resort for pleasure parties, being a picas
ant drive or sail, and affording every
facility to hakes or pic-nit's. Tho wind
was favorable to day, und the '8wift' did
nut belie her Jtittuie, tusking u-i usually
good time.
I 'Why. I here's Tom Harrison's sail
boat ! I wonder if he's in it V said
Fred, as he caught night of a- sail at a
little, distance
'It it is, let's ask hidjtojofn the
party. He's real jolly.' he continued,
cn?tinpr a sly glance" at (Jrc**.
They were not long in overtaking the
boat in which was seated a youug man
with a particular, merry countenunce,
who accepted the proffered invitation
with great readiness. Disembnrkation
did not take long, as all turned to with
a will and 'transported the various arti
cles from the boat to the grove. Then
the croquet sets wero placed, and those
who wished to play chose sides, while
smuc ^stopped to watch the games aud
others strolled away.
lluldah formed one of a merry group
who started off in search of oak loaves
for wreaths, und (JusMwynard accom
panied them, grc.ttly to Belle's chagrin,
for she was devoted to croquet, aud had
counted upon Gus for a partner. But
he had taken a decided fancy to lluldah,
who appeared particularly well to day,
and kept the party laughing by her
witty smiles and shrewd remarks.
'Why I'd no idea there Was so much
in her,' said one of the !;'r's t? Mai lie.
'Nor I,' whe rejoined] frankly, 'bnt I
suppose it is our own fault thai we huvo
not found it out before.'
'See how it is clouding up,' remarked
some one as they rose from the table,
after supper; for tiny had a table ox
temporised for the occasion.
'Do you think it is going to rain,
Captain Wheeler ?' said one of the girlh,
anxiously. 'I hope not, for it would
spoil nil our fun, fireworks, and then a
moonlight night home.'
'Waal, no; it looks to me like a
change of wind. I shouldn't wonder if j
it blowed pooty hard for a spell, but
guess 'twill clear away plnaaant by the
time you're ready to start for hum.'
The wind was evon now blowing
pretty hard and the gray waves dashed
against the rocks with an ominous
sound. Dr. Marshall was smoking his
post prandial cignr, as he paced the:
beach, when some one touched him on
the arm, and, turniug. J;s beheld Hul
? niih ?n ''"'?'?'V*,^'^''"' on hei
face.
'Dr. Marshall, your Lrot'-icr nu?I May
Tyrrcl went off in Mr. Harrison's boat
jnst after supper, and tltoy huvo not
eptne bmk. I have becu up on the
t\<cks to sec if 1 could see them. The
boat is oti the other aide or the he ltd.
and quite a distance below, with full
spread sail. It is very rough, ami the
wind is against them ; it looked to tue
as if they w^re in trouble?at any rite,
they will be .in great danger in a little
while, I nm afraid. Docs your brother
understand managing a sailboat'/"
'Not in a squall. The foolhardy
fellow 1' exclaimed Max, throwing away
his cigar, 'But how can we help ideas?'
'There is the row boat belonging to
the yueht. If you and Mr. Harrison
and my sell should a'art immediately, we
could roach them in a little while.'
.Tuft nt this moment Tom nud Gretu
made their appearance.'
?What is tho matter ?' exclaimed the
latter, as tdic noticed their undisturbed
faces. A few seconds served to explain,
and Tom Harrison started to disengage
the boat.
?But you must not go, Miss lluldah ;
I think we can manage without you.
and I cab not consent to you pitting
yourself in peril/
'I am not afraid, and I am very strong
I think my help will not come amiss,
and I may be able to ib> May some good,
have understood that she hasn't much
presence of mind,' said lluldah, quietly.
Max gave way, and in a moment
more they were tossing upon the waves,
while Gre'.a with her pile face aud
anxious heart watched (hum from tho
?bore. The boat was a small one con
taining but two oars, sod it was very
hard ro*wiug. Max iu particular, felt
the iubor severely, for of late he had
been so confined to his pralice that he
had no time for rowing. He gave Up his
oar to lluldah after u while in order to
rust. And so by rutting iu turn they
made very g<*?d progress, and soon
rounded the beud where they saw the
sail boat. The sail was still sproad,
through they Could see that Kred was
at work on it.
'Ship ahoy!' shouted Tom Harrison
making a trumpet of his hands ; instant
ly a hankerchief was waved as a signal
of distress. 'The sailboat was pitching
frightfully : it seemed as if she would be
engulfed before' they could roach lier.
The next ft'w momouts seemed like an
eternity. It was a fearful struggle.
With set teeth Tom Harrison and Max
Marshall bent to their oars, while Hul
dab iteered. At length the goal was
gaiuod.
'Throw over the paiuter!' shouted
Tom, hoarsely. Fred obeyed, aud iu a
moment Tom was in the suilbout end at
work on the sail, which had become
tangled iu some way so that Fred could
do nothing with it. Tom's strength aud
skill, however, soon told, aud the sail
came rattling down. The relief was In
stantly perceptible, as the motion of the
boaf. wan cased considerably, and May,
who had beer crouching in tho hott inj
half dead from fright and sea sickness,
looked up, aud said, 'Oh, lluldab ! you
there ? Mow dared you come*! Oil
am so glad to see you. I never expected
to sec any one again,' snd she burst into
a fit of hysterical weeping.
'I think, Dr. Marshall that you can
make that liule cove over there. Father
and 1 have been iu there several lint's in
rough weather,' said Iluldnh.
'It is useless to try to think of getliug
back tothegrnvc until the gale subsides,'
said Max. 'We cau tow the sailboat.
Fred will you take your pluce,' lluldab
noticing how white she looked.
'Come iu here with me, Iluldah; then
I ahull feel safe.' said May eagerly.
Iluldah made no objection for site could
not do any more good. b'he had
turned her wrist iu grasping the paiuter
and it pained her severely, but t he wou'd
not mention it at such a time.
With a good deal of exertion they
reached '.he cove and glided through a
passage among the rocks into colnpara
lively smooth water. Here they wafted
Ibr nearly an hour. The winl gradually
subsided tho clouds pnsscd away and the
stars peeped out one by one as they I
glided out into the bay ngtiu The

predicted and they danced merrily over

An Inlcrenliii^ Female.
A correspondent in Southern, Missouri
gives the following delightful picture of
society iu that dele -table regiou :
Driving along the road we encountered
! a altMidr-r, sallow female, with arm bnre
to the shoulders, a.jd aot much clothes
on, if wo except the capperas-colored
petticoat, who was working a small patch
of tobacco. The work was that of pull
ing off the shoots which are known as
?suckers,' and crushing the monstrous
green worms.
I inquired if I could pet a drink of
of water. She spat out a mouthful of
tobacco juice with a 'cbirt' and said :
?Thar's the spring over yunder aud
tbar's a gourd in it '
Having slaked my thirst with a
draught of highly modicated fluid, which
tasted strongly of old hor*e shoo and
hoop irou, 1 sought to strike up a con
versation. In passing to the spring I
saw u man with a very red and scotched
face, and two Jearfully bunged eyes,
sneaking off in tho corn.
'Is that your husband there ?' I in
quired.
?Htm? Not much, I reckon. My old
man's gone down In the bottom to sco if
be cau kill a inc?s o' squirrels, or maybe
a young turkey. I hat's Arkansas dim,
the ornamt, trctlinist, good for uothin
est whelp this side o' the Nation. He
hangs around and helps my old man
aud the bosses, but he ain't worth his
salt. Come out o' ther yer durncd ga
loot, en* show yerself. Yestidy he car*
riud a cow down to Brcsh creek wo sold
to Ferris, an* got hoM o' sum whiskey |
no gnt drunk as a matter o' course.
Then he got into a tito and the other
fellow rut her got sway with him I guess.
1 wish he'd a killed the blasted beast.'
'What is* that truck ?' I enquired?
iuoncoutly pointing to the tobacco.
' .?'eil, Htranger' she replied, with ?
twinkle in her black eyes, 'yon must be
awful green not to know that. Whar
you been liring all your life 7 Why
that's terbacker. We raise a little for
our own use. People may say whnt they
please but 1 tell you terbacker's a great
comlort. I couldu't get along without
it. 1 soy, r.trnng?r, have you got plenty
o' the twist, but I like navy the bent.'
Unfortunately I dou't chew but offered
her a scgar.
'A segnr ! Well 1 generally smoke a
pipe, but 1 don't mind tryin' yonr sogar
just for a change.
She wiped the gum of the suckers on
her petticoat, and took tho oflered segar
while Istruck a match. Altera few
puffs she said :
'Well, I ruthor like this. It's one of
them what ycr call Ilavouncr ain't it?
Mighty nice tasted, but it dou't go to
the 6pot like a pipe. I say, stranger,
wouldn,t you like to see myoid man 7
Just hitch our horse aud toll the uigger
to come in out o' the sun an' I'll blow
the horn for him to ooiue up.
I mildly auggo.stod th.it I was afraid
the 'ole mnu might be jealous?that men
with handsome wives were geuerally
3ubjcct to that compl-iint.'
'Jealous! Jehu ! I'd like to see him
try that on me. I'd give him sotuethiu'
to be jealous for. lie knows t durned
well that I'm all right, and that I won't
have any airs put on over mo. Et for
beio* good lookiu,' I've ecu the time
stranger when you might hare said that
told no lie. Hut bavin' the sgCr and a
raft o' yuug uns au liviu' like this'll take
the starch oulcu a gall mighty soon, I
tell you. This is a fin? country for
cows, but it's h?11 on women. Morn
in' st rangor. Sat tune you see a patch
- o' tcrbaLk^r, yr.u won't have to ask what
, la*
BH1 Ar;> on :i Bustle.
? See here, Mark Antony, If I was you
t wouldn't tike on so about the fash urn,
Til > dou't bother me. Its none ofyour
business whot the women put on or off,
so they behave themselves and look just
as purty ns they can. They are a heap
better than you or mc any how, wether
they behave or not. I wouldn't give oue
woman for several tneu no time, would
you! Now site him smile and pst that
off foot. If women want to wear buasels
let em wear etil. I thought that pauears
was the best because they otuck oiit side
ways and wascnt id the Way of leanin
back when they sat down, but they know
which is the host side to stick out on,
and its nobody's business but theirs.
They may wear anything they waut to,
bussuls and hoops and hangovers and
convexes and cull.ipies, whim diddles and
stickouts and topnots cotno d >wu, and
anything else so their is a wjtuan hid
away somewhere inside of it all. Its all
a sham?that rubber buaaols?there aiut
no substance nor backbone iu it. I ve
sceu em flat aud seen em blowid up.
There ain't a bit of harm in cm, but 1
never sue one on a woman that I dou't
want to hit it just h ud enough to make
it pop. 1 golly, wouldn't she jump
high and holler. Hut I'm not a going
to do it; no sir. I've got too much re
spect for women. Their bussels don't
hurt nobody, and I do despise to see a
man always pick in at a woman's close.
II they okIo'i wear somothing to disgise'
em the men would quit business when
they cum about. Purty wotneu always
did wear somcthiug to skoer the men
away. Its been so forever. During the
war 1 seed oue jest dressed ae uaternal as
life without any paddin or stuffiu, and
when she cum along the boys jest laid
down and rolled over aud hollered.
Tb.y waren' fit for business for a week
Hut 1 couldu't bear to see' em go with
their faces all tied op like they do iu
Turkey. That would mighty nigh kill
me. if I cau look into their blessed
couuteuauces 1 can put up with their
fore rigging aud hind rigging and toy
riggio and all. A good, sweet, purty
lace speakos for all the balance of the
craft, 1 wouldn't marry nary giri oa
earth till I see her fuee and uot then if
shb dideut suit me. It the eyes, uoso
and mouth are r'. at, uatur is an endor
ser for all thebslaoce. Paintaint noth
ing?shape is everything They oaut
paint a shape nor a glance of the eye
You isay paint a house ever so whits
but dout signify what's inside of it.
But when you see bright roses and posea
and blossoms in the front yard mod a
vine over door, and clean, clear winder
glass shining, you may bet your hat on
the balance. You ueedeot worry about
the bussels nor the back. Women bare
been doing that Way ever since old Solo*
man wroteMibout 'em. If they do lean a
little as they go, its all right. They can
straighten up when its necessary. No
spinal disease about that. Tljems Uta
very sort what can lift two bushels of
meal without crackin a boos. Its only
