The ladies were all grouped on the veranda in breakfast costumes. "Ladies," he said, dotting his hat, "a gentleman who boards here asked me to bring this basket of lilies and present it with his compliments to the prettiest lady here." There was a moment's pause and then a maiden who had seen many summers, asked sharply : "Well, why don't you present it ?" The man made a deprecatory bow. "How can I, miss? He forgot to give me any address, and I couldn't pick out one from so many." "What did he look like?" asked all the ladies at once. "Very distwangey, with a light mustache, or, lemme see, was it dark ? I kind of disremember the color. But that's what he said?the prettiest lady." "Could it have been Mr. ? Do you suppose he ordered them for that horrid Miss" "More likely for the widow" "It must have been captain." "I hate to take them back," said the mau j reflectively. "If the lady he meant will j pick herself out, I'll give her the lilies," and he twirled one fragrant bud in his hand. "I suppose you couldn't sell us any of them," murmered a sweet old thing who knew she was the 'one' meant. "I could sell to you altogether, but not to one; that wouldn't be fair. You see the! gentleman will know I couldn't afford to! lose the sale of 'em. Six for five cents, la-1 T^T *x J it. -"-L x ..

At dinner every lady wore a lily in her hand or at her helt, and Mr. and Capt. were smiled upon by turns by the whole posse of female boarders to their great surprise. "Good heavens! what have we done to deserve it?" asked the gentlemen of each other, as they were thanked for their good intentions. The ladies do not know yet that they were the victims of a commercial ruse on the part of the lily vender.?Detroit Free Press. He Put Him Out.?George Ashmun used to tell a story about an auctioner who was provokingly annoyed while in the exercises of his profession by the ludicrous bids of a fellow whose sole object seemed to be to make sport for the buyers rather than himself to buy. At length, enraged beyond endurance, the auctioner, looking round the room for a champion to avenge his wrongs, fixed his eyes upon a biped of huge dimensions, a very monarch in strength, and called out: "Marlow, what shall I give you to put that fellow out?" "I will take one $5 bill." "Done! done! you shall have it." Assuming the ferocious?knitting his brows, spreading his nostrils like a lion's and putting on the wolf all over his head and shouldersold Marlow strode off to the aggressor, and seizing the terrified wretch by the collar, said to him in a whisper that was heard all over the room : "My good frin, you go out with me I give you half the money!" "Done! done!" said the fellow. "Hurrah ! Hurrah!" shouted the audience.; The auctioneer had the good sense to join in i the laugh and coolly forked out the V.? ! True Flag. ! 0 , Found Relief in Prayer.?A certain English church missionary, who rides regu- j larly by the same train from Clarence Gate to J Charing Cross, has lately sought to improve j the journey by trying to "convert" the con-: ductor. The man of punch and pasteboard, j however, for a time refused to believe in anything, alleging that, though he did no harm to no man, he was undeservedly punished by being awakened every morning by the infer-; nal chatter of a chimuey sweep, beneath ; whose apartment his poverty compelled him to rent bis room. "He 'aves to git up abaat 2 or 3 ev'ry mornin', an' the clatter as he makes a-strappin' of his uniform ud wake the dead," growled the bussy. Though the good young man hardly saw : the answer to this staring him in the face, he i urged the conductor to pray for relief, and I went his way. Three mornings after that, when the con-1 ductor came round for the fares, lie seemed ! highly delighted, and the missionary noticed ; it. "You have found relief in prayer, then?" "Yessir?thank you, sir?that blanked chimbley sweep died suddenly last night."? London Times. His Memory Was Good.?"And you pre-; tend to say," remarked a lawyer to a witness, "that you can remember the exact words that this man said to you ten years ago ?" "I do." "Well, if my memory serves me, I met you at Saratoga about five years ago, and I should like to know if you can swear to any | expression which I then made." "I can." "Now, Mr. J., I want you to remember that you are under oath. Now under oath, you swear that you can quote with great ac- j curacy a remark I made to you at Saratoga,: five years ago?" "I can." "Well, what was it?" "You met me in the hotel corridor, and , you shook hands with me." "Naturally I did." "And you said to me : 'Let's go and take something.'" The crier of the court had to call silence for ten minutes, and the lawyer confessed that the witness had a remarkable memory. A Pleasant Day is the West.?"My j dear," said a Western farmer to his wife as he got out of bed, "will you look and see what kind of a day it is?" "Well," she replied, gazing out of the window, "Mr. Smith's barn across the way is being blown into the next lot, but?" "Not his new brick barn ?" "No, the old wooden one, and it looks as if the roof of his house will have to go, but I don't believe there will be very much of a storm." "Probably not," replied the husband, "but still we can hardly expect settled weather at this season of the year. I guess I had better drive to town today iustead of waiting; until Saturdy. It might storm then." JST1 The late Ottowell Wood, one of the leading characters of New England, was once summoned as a witness.

It is hi) old saying that "one man may ead a horse to water, but twenty cannot iiake him drink." The same might be apilied with equal force to a calf, substituting iiilk for water. Gentleness is one of the!' lost important requisites on a farm, in so ! I ir as the treatment of all animals found ; ( here is concerned. There are some farm ands who, apparently possessing less sense j, lian the animals themselves, try to accoui-l lish by brute force what a little persuasion I! ,*ould do far more effectively. I have seen ' ( liis more clearly exemplified in teaching a ! alf to drink than in anything else. The ; j lethod of a hired man I have in mind was -> ooi-/o flip nnimnl in both bis arms, strad- !* le its body, holding the head of the ereat- j re between bis legs as if it were in a vise, j nd with two fingers thrust as far down the i, alf's throat as he could possibly get them,1 nd the forefinger and thumb pushed up its I ostrils to their full length, endeavor by all j1 lie brute strength that he possessed, to j >rce the animal's head into the milk pail, 1 ntil the perspiration was pouring down his |( ronzed cheeks, and in this way try to com- 1 el the creature to drink. Naturally, any j nimal would resent such treatment. The . alf will not be coerced into doing anything gainst its will. It often occurred to me { lat if the person adopting such a method 1 ould pause a little in his work, and think J ow he would like to see a mother using her lfant child in like manner; that is, if it re- f lsed to drink out of nature's usual course, tul she were to use all the animal force at , er command to make it drink, he would be s lore gentle in his efforts. A plan which I have successfully used, . nd seen others use with the same efTect, as to get astride the animal, exercise a 1 ttle persuasion to bring the calf to the J tilk bucket, then, taking hold of its head ently, place two fingers in its mouth, turn- , ig them slightly upwards, and leaving an . pen space between them. If the calf will 1 ot bend its head, draw the pail towurds the llf, let it taste the milk and it will comlence sucking. Now gradually remove the x ngers, and the young animal will continue c. rinking for a moment, until it suddenly re- j icmbers that it ought to have something in j j s mouth besides the milk, and will follow j our hand until these improvised substitutes f" re again secured. By and by it will get | ^customed to sip wunoui any extra ueip,; j ml the work is satisfactorily accomplished. I. have had a young calf drink alone the first j ,j me I tried it, by adopting the above mcth:1; and to show how the animal nature | ill become inured to anything, after the j llf had commenced to help himself, no j >oner did he see me come into the barn here he was, than he at once placed him- . ;lf in position between my legs and sipped . is daily rations. Sometimes this was not 11 ?reeable, when he would give me a slight j udge with his head, indicating that he was; ot getting his food fast enough. Speaking j ? f this reminder in the shape of a gentle! j utt with his head, it seems to me as though ! j le mother cow often times rebuked the lit-j e one for this conduct. I have heard her ! ^ ive out a peculiar cry when this was being! j mtinued too strongly, as if to say "behave j ourself," when it immediately ceased. As to the milk to be given to a sucking |'( ilf: For about a week after the animal had ; j sen taken from its mother, I gave it new j lilk ; after that I mixed a little of this milk j o ith about two quarts of skimmed milk,, r hich we brought back from the creamery,' ad on this mixture had no difficulty in I lising line young stock up to the time when j o milk was necessary and grain food was . iven.?American Agriculturist. OLI) BROOD*SOWS. 1 I ? One advantage in retaining old brood j ^ >ws that have proved themselves good i ^ reeders, is that they will not only bring L etter litters of thrifty pigs, but they are ; t stter able to supply them with plenty of lilk, aud in this way keep them growing I j eadily. This will prevent the necessity of :ediug them when it ought not be necessary j > feed them to keep up a growth. Of nirse the old sow must he fed a liberal raon if she makes plenty of milk, for no mat- ^ sr how capable she may be she must first t ave the material furnished from which to lake milk. Her ration should be a slop [ ed made up of slop stuff' and milk, oil leal, bran and milk, or ground oats, bran id milk. When milk canuot he secured j ater can be used.

It her progenitors I g ere valuable breeding animals, this uticer- j duty is somewhat lessened. Vet in all j jises a sow that has proved herself a good i r other is the safest.

Milly Gray had come out to her Uncle insider's ranch, 011 the Texas frontier, to ipend her boarding school vacation. It was he rarest of treats to her, the great plains, due skies and pure air; the rude home suroundings. the rough, brawny, great-hearfedicss of her muscular uncle and aunt, and he way, that in their childishness, they 00k her to their hearts as a helpless, willful ittle love-conquering waif, instead of a polshed young lady?a role she was tired of. The fields and groves were her temples of vorship, and on this particular morniug they vere unusually inviting. So she waudered >n in careless happiness, now plucking a lower, then giving chase to a butterfly, and he next moment wondering if it wouldn't >e nice to meet a bear, a lion, an elephant, >r an Indian, engage in a fierce combat with t, dispatch it with her only weapon, a pair of iny scissors, throw the lifeless carcass over ler shoulder, and bravely march home with t, just as she had rend of heroines doing. Thinking it over, she actually grew impaient, and pouted naughtily, because everyhing was so quiet, and peaceful and safe. A whir, a loud whiz cut the air, and omething like a cord dropped over and mcircled her shoulders. Uttering a piercng scream of terror, she put up her hands o remove the thong, but with a thud hat threw her off her feet and cut into ler flesh, it was drawn taut, and the lext moment she was being dragged at a errific speed over the ground amid the most lorrid and blood curdling cries she had ever leard. She realized that she was lassoed, md caught a glimpse of a maddened, fleeing lorse, with a frightful looking savage upon lis back, and she knew that this was her :aptor. She clutched at the clumps of grass, >he dug her tender fingers into, the earth, she tore at the cord that so mercilessly sound her. but the maddened animal and his nerciless rider bore her on over every obitacle. Her terrible position flashed upon her n a moment?it was more than human enlurance could withstand and she became un:onscious. When Milly, scratched, torn, and bleedng, again opened her eyes, it was to look ipon a scene of a most terrifying nature. The lasso had been removed from her body, indshe was lying upon the plain, surrounded >y a score cf painted and bedecked Comanche varriors, so cruel, brutal and disgusting in heir appearance, that she could not restrain he screams of terror that came to her lips. Handing immediately over her with brandshed weapon, were two of the most stalwart md brutal of the savages gesticulating tiercey, and waging a wordy war which, though he could rot understand a word of it, she ealized was in some way connected with icrself. Several times one or the other of hem attempted to brain her with his wea>on, but was restrained by the other, and at ast it dawned upon their poor victim in igony that the contest between these saviges was for the possession of her bleed.... j ??ir iig9 uriuai M ?cii. The contest was left undecided, for at a ;esture from one of the contestants, another if the savages rudely grasped her in his arms, ,ud, Hinging her upon the back of a horse, nounted behind her and the entire party coninued their journey; the riyal savages, who vere apparently the chiefs of the party, keep ng a constant and jealous watch upon their uctim. Milly had realized her thoughtless desire? he was, indeed, the captive of an Indian hief; but, ah, how different was the reality rom the romance. In the two days and lights of excrutiatiug suffering that followed , thousand times, the wish came to her that he encircling lasso had choked all life out ?f her, and a thousand times she prayed hat death might release her from the more errible fate that she saw awaiting her. ier only cause of thankfulness now was the vatchful jealousy of the rival chiefs, who vidently deeply infatuated with her, kept areful guard over her day and night, lest ither should gain an advance over the other, his enforced neutrality keeping thein both rom persecuting her, though she foresaw vitli terror and loathing that this condition vould not long exist, nor her terrible fate >e delayed. On the third day, while continuing their ourney, tlie advance scouts of the party reumed in wild excitement. After a hasty lonsultatiou together, the whole band spared away with wild shouts, except a single ndian, left apparently to guard their capive, who, removing the girl to the shelterng margin of a clump of timber, secured ler hands and feet with thongs and kept a ilose watch over her. Many hours passed without any sign of a eturn of the Indians, and a wild hope prangupin Milly's breast that they had en :ountored ii oody ot pursuing wintes anu icen annihilated; hut this was rudely disK'lled by their return with deafening shouts ind in high glee. The cause of their absence was apparent, fhey had encountered a drove of wild horses, Hid after an exciting chase, they had corral:d them in a strip of timber and captured a core or more of the beautiful, untamed ireatures. It was not the purpose of the avagesto journey further that day. l'iekiting their animals, they made preparation or an afternoon of exciting sport in breakng in the captured animals. Such occasions ire always a season of great amusement and jood nature in an Indian camp. Many of the captured animals, worn out >y their previous struggles, succumbed to heir new masters with scarcely any opposiion, a few held out longer and occasioned ome merriment by giving their captors otne severe falls before acknowleding tliemielves vanquished ; but there was one animal unoim the number that would not be con luered by the cunningest ruse, the crudest est, or the most persistent coaxing. This untamable steed excited cries of wild idmiration for his beauty and symmetry from ill the savages. His splendidly modeled imbs and body, trembling with their finely ensitive nerves, his tender, quivering nosrils, large, wild eyes, with a quick intelligence in their trembling orbits, would have et an Arab, or Tartar, or a Spaniard wild, low, then, with a Comanche, the peer of ill these in horsemanship? One after another the savages leaped upon he beautiful animal's back, only to be brown over his head and trampled upon, rushed under his weight, bitten by him or njured by his Hying heels. After one of his :nptors had been killed outright, and half a core of tlie others were more or less disibled, the savages seemed to conclude that he animal was untamable, and, in revenge or the death of their companion, one of the hiefs had raised bis gun to send a ball hrough his brain, when a shout from some if the Indians who had been consulting together stayed his hand. Milly, who had teen a spectator of all this, perceived that he savages held a very excited talk togeth r, in which the chief who had captured her mgrily opposed all the others, but at length ullenly gave way. Then, with wild whoops, evcral more of the Indians grasped the lands restraining the untamed steed, while, to ler speechless dismay others loosened Milly's loads, and catching her up flung her upon he back of the wildly plunging animal, in in instant more securely tying her feet tinier him, but leaving her hands free. The meaning of all this flashed upon the loor girl in such sickening, terrible form, that she could only moan out her agony. The untamed steed was to be liberated and allowed to trample and mangle her to death i in its maddened efforts to free himself from j this burden. Her fate, she felt, must bel I swift and terrible. The first shock of the contest eaniesud-' J den and fearful. At a preconcerted cry, the , j savages, each goading the animal with their i j knives, slipped the lariats restraining him, ! and flew with all their speed rods away to ! be beyond the reach of the crazed brute, j The animal quivered in every limb a mo; ment, and then, with a scream of rage, threw his bind legs quick as lightning into the; I air. Milly, divining this movement, intuitively | threw herself back upon bis haunches, and,, settling her elbows into them with all the ? i i i i.. i .1 l lr force sue COUIU command, ncni nerscii hi uii* j position despite all his contortions. The defeated animal, quick as a Hash, i changed his position and stood up straight as a line, pawing the air, but Milly's arms as quickly encircled his neck, and her hips set like a vise upon his body and refused to he i shaken off. For a moment the nniinal stood puzzled j and trembling with fear, while ejaculations j of wonder and shouts of admiration went up from the savages at this astonishing display i of horsemanship from their timid, cowering j captive. It may have been these cries, or it' may have been her experience us a pupil at a noted riding academy, which made her grow calm and gain enough command over I herself to reason that if she could master j this animal she mightmakcit the instrument j of her deliverance. But she had a fearful trial before her. The : untamed steed, having gained breath und j strength for a mightier effort than any that j had preceded it, threw himself from side to I side in lightning leaps, twisted and contort-! ed his bod}', and spun around like a top, at! * t<ic i tlic SillliC II1UI1IU1I V UVIUV1J I/IUII- uv mo I rider's limbs.. He sprang high in the air, I and then stiffened out his limbs, came down j upon them with a concussion so forcible that! it must have forced Milly oil his back had ! she not been tied there. None who have not seen the process of breaking in a thoroughly wild horse can comprehend the many tricks this wild steed practiced to rid itself I of the brave girl, amid the frightful screech- J ing of the excited savages, who, while ad-1 miring Milly's wonderful nerve and fortitude, j did not doubt that the final result would be; her death by being crushed beneath the a?i-i mal. Milly surmised that the final effort of the ; maddened animal would be to throw himself with all his might upon her. What must she do ? A wild thought Hashed upon her. With her two hands that were clasped together under his neck she grasped his windpipe in. a despairing grip. Speedily his breath came in forced gulps ; his great chest heaved in violent spasms, and he stood stock-still and powerless. Removing her grasp, he gained his breath, and with one last despairing scream of terror, and one mighty convulsion of rage, sprang away over the plain like an arrow. His speed was terrific, but Milly rejoiced in it; it was carrying her away from her captors, until the triumphant shouts of the savages huddled together on the plain and watching the j struggle, startled her. What could it mean? Why should they j rejoice at her escape ? Looking ahead she understood it all?the wild steed was running straight for a stretch of low, scraggy timber scarcely more than a rifleshot from; the savages. The maddened brute would cer- i tainly, if unchecked, continue his wild race through it, and her fate would be death by being caught and torn to pieces by the over-! hanging limbs or by being impaled on them alive. For an instant the blood froze in her veins j and all hope died out of her heart. Then a j wild thought flashed upon her; she must! try to control the animal and urge him in j another direction. Detaching by a wild jerk j the long sash around her waist, she leaned j forward upon the neck of the steed, with it in her hands, and tried to slip it into his open mouth. She could not reach ; she tried to I fling it in?it missed. A second time she I tried when they were almost within the I shadow of the limber. It caucht on his nos trils, and as he threw his head lip withal I terrified snort, it slipped into his mouth,! i and she drew it up firmly, and at last hold a j I power over the animal's head. | Would he answer the firm steady pull of | this ribbon ? It seemed not, and for a mo-j i mcnt sho leaned forward and patted his: i neck and spoke soothingly to him. Then ] grasping the ends of the ribbon she pulled I i with one last mighty despairing effort of all her will. The brute hesitated, he stopped within a dozen feet of the timber line, half turned and, as with her strength entirely [spent, she slackened the ribbon, he dashed on again with terrific speed, but this time his course lay over the great plain toward the Brazos, and her Uncle Consider's ranch, i She was saved ! The savages seemed stupefied for a mo-1 ment at this startling change in affairs. MilIy plainly heard their wild cries of dismay, j heard the crack of their guns, but she was; j beyond the reach of the bullets. She look- i led back, and saw them mount and give i j chase, but she knew that they had no anij mal that could keep pace with the beautiful steed she rode?untamed no longer, however, i for he answered the slightest pull on the ribbon, and responded to the tender caress of her hand on his neck, and the soft tone of j her voice speaking to him, with a gentle whinny. Once conquered, these animals arc ; {the truest of servants. Milly left her pursuers far behind before | night set in, but she continued her journey | with slackened pace during all the night, j and at daylight came upon a party who had set out to rescue her, led by a brave young frontiersman, and accompanied by her Un-; i j ele Consider, who, with all these brave, brawny men, could scarce believe the tale of ! endurance and bravery which this frail city-: bred gjrl's escape, her bruises and the wild- j horse foretold. She was the heroine of the! border for many years after. It was months before Milly entirely recovered from the effects of her fearful ad- j 1 venture, but she went back to her boarding | J school, graduated with honor, and returning j to Texas, became the wife of the young fron: ticrsman who had led the party for her resj cue, and who is now a learned judge of that I [State. He declares that he has but one j J | cause of jealousy ; Milly's clinging affection ] j for the noble steed who carried her beyond j peril. The beautiful animal is yet the ad- ; j miration of all, but it is only under Milly's j i word, or touch that he displays perfect doeil- ; I u>\ I Uncle Consider loves to relate Milly's ad- : i venture, always ending up with : "Them down-east girls are mighty de; eeivin' ereeters ; they have a lump of grit in ; i them bigger than all outdoors.'' ! i J If B B I ^.,..^\PowaerJ JIVOUIUiirtj Pure A cream of tartar baking powl der.

FOR several years you have been fully conscious of the fact that by the use of a CORBIN DISK HARROW you could reduce the expenses on your farm and at the same time increase the producing power of your land. You have known this because you have seen statements to that effect in these columns signed by some of the best farmers in York and Chester counties? men whose word you would not think of doubting in any statement they might make to you. Isn't the foregoing absolutely correct ? Now, here, doubtless, are some of the reasons you have assigned for not buying, and I will say that none or all of them are worth the time employed in thinking them out: First. "My land is different the man's who I made-the statement as to his experience with the harrow." Second. "Times | are too hard." Third. "The price is too high, if I will only wait they will get i cheaper." Fourth. "Perhaps I can get one low down from some fellow who has got tired of his, or perhaps I may be able to get a bargain in one at some public sale," etc., etc. For answer to "reason" No. i I will say that there is no soil in York j county, or anywhere else, that can be cultivated at all 011 which the harrow j cannot be used to advantage. To No. 2 I will say that the harrow is a time and money saver, therefore | the reason is an argument in favor of buying instead of not buying. To No. 3 I reply that there is not the least probability of a reduction in price for the reason that it is very low now, especially when the quantity and j quality of work it will do is taken into consideration. It is cheaper in proj portion than an Iron Foot Plow Stock at $1.00. In reply to No. 4 I will ask how many you have known to be sold in the | past five years 4'because the owners were tired of them" and how many have you known to sell at a reduced price at a public sale? Now say ? I tell you what I know. Several years ago I sold a harrow to three farmers, and [- after using it for more than a year two of them sold out their interest for $2 less than the entire harrow cost the three. Sold one to another farmer. He used it one year, was compelled to raise some cash to pay a note, and sold his harrow for $1 less than he paid me for it. SAM M. GRIST, State Agent, Yorkville, S.
