Squire Dudley was in- his gardeavpulKng weeds-in his patch of tame strawberries, on the morning when he took a fancy for Ruth Lea's pretty face. She came down the road, looking as fresh as a new-blown rose in her plain calico dress and straw bat Her brown hair, cut qjuite\'?hort, blew all about her face in little rings/ and her blue eyes and bright cheeks made her as pretty a picture as one often sees. Squire Dudley saw her just as she came oppo? site the strawberry patch, and called out "Good morning!" in his brisk, cheery way. "O, good morning!" she answered. "You almost scared-rae, Squire Dudley. I didn't see jbx? until you spoke?* ? ' * "Pleasant morning, isn't it ?" said the Squire coming up to the fence. Bath had halted in the middle of the road: ~ f " "It's beautiful weather," answered Rath. ? "I told mother that it was too pleasant to stay in docTs, and started off on a visit." "Are your strawberries ripe yet?" said the Squire, wondering that'he never had noticed what a fresh, charming face, Widow Lee's daughter had before. \wO?r .sfcawoerrie&?" laughed Ruth. "We havn't got a one. Our old rooster got in one day'last week and picked all he could eat, and then .coaxed, the hens in and between them they ruined our strawberry crop." "Too bad 1" exclaimed the sympathetic Squire. "Have some of these, Ruth. They're just npe enough to be good:" He picked some great dusters of ripe berries and handed them over the fence to-her. v"f*arJk yod," said, Ruth, smiling.. "How nice they are. : Mother was making great cal? culations of her strawberry jam. She was terrify 'Vexed' when she found out what the hens* had done.*' "I've got lota to spare," said the Squire. "I'll Moa some over to your mother." "She'd kensucix obliged to you," said Ruth; "Ifyou have more than you 'want?" "Plenty of them," answered the Squire; "plenty of them. Can have them just as well as not." "I must be going," said Ruth. "Good morn? ing." , . - .:. "Good morning," returned the Squire, look? ing after her as she went down the road. "I declare there, ain't a prettier girl in town than Ruth Lee. I wonder that some of the young fellows havn't got her away from the widow. If I was young now?" Squire Dudley stopped suddenly. An idea had just flashed'across his brain. ? "I'm fifty," he said at last, after thinking Juite busily for some minutes. "I'm fifty, but don't look like it. I don't see why I shouldn't try my luck, after all. Girls as young as Ruth marry men older than I. am. I'nV'iQrJ' theM make any man a good wife." Her mother is one of the finest women in the State, and she's brought her daughter up to know how to work and be saving and prudent. I'm sure we need a good housekeeper. Mrs. Brown, she's old and fussy and crooked, and this way .of living isn't half living. I do believe I'llYmarry her, if she'll have me. Maybe Char lsyMl'say if 8 foolish, but I can't hellp H.'* The Squire fell to weeding out his strawber? ries again diligently, and kept thinking about Ruth all the while/ Long before dinner was ready he had folly made up his mind to pro? pose marriage toJRuthr ana bring, home a- new Mt^qpfifjnljniserels to that grea* bouse whose mistress had been dead for tun years or more; provided of course, that Ruth didn't say no, and the Squire thought there wasn't much danger of that though why he should be so sure, I can't say. "DooVyod think we need a. housekeeper ?" he said* to his son Charles that afternoon, as they sat on the verandah. The Sau ire evident? ly saw some new feature in the landscape for he kept his face turned away from Charley as he spoke. "A1 housekeeper?" asked Charley, "We've got Qqe. What do you want with another, I should like to know r '"Y/ea.^ know," assented the .Squire,, turning led m nls face, and beginning to get a little uneasy; "but Mrs. Brown isn't such a woman as we need. She dosu't take the interest in the work as?as a woman would who?who had more interest in it." . After which extremely logical argument the Squire got more fidgetty than ever. . . ^understood that,?' answered Charley. *'If she had a personal interest in the place, and in being prudent and keeping things up, she'd do better than she does now. She gets her pay for the work, and that is all she cares for. It's all we can expect of her." "Just so," said the Squire, glad to know that Charley agreed with him so far. "I've been thinking this morning that the best thing I eould do would be to get some one who would take a personal interest in matters. I don't tee as you intend to get married, and if you won't I don't know but I'd better." The Squire breathed easier. The worst part was over. "You get married!" exclaimed Charley, in Intense surprise. "Why, I didn't know that you ever thought of such a thing." "And I haven't till this morning," exolaimed the Squire. "I got to thinking about it this morning, and the.more I thought about it the more I thought it a good plan. You havn't any objections ?" '"Of course not," answered Charley. "You can do as you think best. If you deem it ad? visable to get a wife, I have nothing to say further than the hope that you will get some one who will make you happy." "She will," said the Squire very decidedly, **she will, I am sure." "May I ask who it is to be ?" inquired Char? ley. "I?I havn't asked her yet," answered the Squire, as red as a rose. "I'd rather wait until I'm sure of her before I tell who it is. She might say no, yon see, and I should feel rather cheap." ' Prudent Squire Dudley. That afternoon he picked a panful of his finest strawberries, and directly after tea started off across lots in the direction of the Widow Lee's, with the berries on his arm. He had very bnsy thoughts for company. He was wondering what it was best to- do. Should be propose at once to Ruth, or should he see her mother first and, and talk with her? He concluded that the last was the wisest plan. As he opened the gate noiselessly, he heard voices in the other corner of the garden, and stopped a moment to find out if it was the widow and her daugh? ter. , "I never had any idea of it before," said a voice which he recognized as Charley's : "not the least in the world. He said he hadn't thought anything about it until to-day. I couldn't find out who he had in view. I hope it isn't old Miss Sharp. She'd like to get some? body." The Squire burst into a profuse perspiration at the idea of having Miss Sharp for a wife. { "He said he didn't see as I ever intended to Eet married," went on Charley. "I didn't tell im that I had got me a wife picked out, but I wanted to. I am sure he'd approve my taste in making a selection." '?What nonsense I" laughed a clear, pleasant voice, the Squire knew, the moment he beard it. "If; I am to be your wife I want you to quit laughing at me. in that way, pretending that you are flattering me all the time." . "His wife I Good gracious!" ' The Squire was so taken by surprise that he came near dropping his strawberries. So it was all settled between them. And he had come near proposing to his son's intended wife. He felt cold all over, at the thought of it. How lucky that lie didn't take Charley into his.confidence, and tell him who he had con? cluded to marry. "I declare," exclaimed the Squire, "I've made a mistake this time, sure enough. The rascal got the start of me. I'd like to know what I'm to.do! I've told him that I intend? ed to get married, and if I don't he'll likely as not mistrust something. Dear me I" . The Squire was in trouble. Another bright thought occurred to him. There was the widow. After all, she would be more suitable for him than Both would have been. She was somewhere near his own age. A fine woman. A smart woman. She would make a fine mis? tress for his empty house. Why shouldn't he marry her, since he could not have her daugh? ter. "I'll do it," exclaimed the Squire, bound to go through with the matter since he had got so far. I'll do it." He knocked. The door was opened by the widow, round-cheeked, rosy and smiling. "Why, Squire Dudley! Good evening," she exclaimed. "I hardly knew you at first, you havn't been here in so long. Come in ; take a rocking-chair, and let me take your hat." The widow bustled about and got the Squire a chair and deposited his hat on the table be? fore he happened to think of his basket "0! Ruth told me your strawberry crop had Eroven a failure, so I thought I'd run over and ring yon a few. Strawberry short cake don't go bad this time of year." "I'm a thousand times obliged to you," said the widow, taking the basket. "I was so pro? voked to think the chickens should spoil mine. Such a nice lot as I would have had. "If yon want any for preserves, come over i and get 'em," said the Squire. "We've plenty of 'em. Mrs. Brown?she won't do anything with them, except as we use them in the season I of their?, I suppose." "I wan't to know!" Exclaimed the widow. "You ought to have them done up. They're so nice in the winter. I would like to get some for jam, and if Mrs. Brown won't take care of them, I'll do" them up on shares." "I wish you would." said the Squire."? 1 "Things are all going to wreck and ruin about my place. 'Taint to be expected a hired wo ? man will take any interest in affairs," and here he sighed deeply. ; "No; that'B so.'? The Squire and the widow kept up a brisk conversation, and at the end of an hour he was more deeply in love with her ilhan her 'daughter, ana began to wonder how he had been so blind as to overlook such a delightful a widow for so long. i By-and-by the widow bustled out, and pres jently came back with a pitcher of last years's cider and a plate of cake. "Do have something to eatand drink," urged jibe widow. "If I'd l:nown you were coming I'd have made a cherry pie. I remember you j used to like my cherry pies." ! j "I?I wish you would come and make cherry pies for me all your life," blurted out the Squire, turning very red in the face again. "I ?-I came down to ask you to marry, Mrs. Lee." "I'm sure I'd as lief marry you 03 any man," and looking as pretty as a rose. "Ifs all settled, then," cried the delighted Squire, and kissed plump on her lips just as the door opened and Charley and Ruth came in. 1 "Allow me to make you acquainted with' my new housekeeper," said* the Squire, bowing very low to hide his red face. "Allow me to present my wife?that is to be," answered Charley. "You take the mother and I'll take the daughter." ' I am happy to say that under the "new ad? ministration," things are no longer going to Wreck and* ruin. ? - ? ' *' ? ? I Ti - "The Lost Cause."?In a review of "Re? markable Sayings of the Great War," published in- Apple ton's Journal, Edward A. Pollard writes as follows concerning the origin of the phrase? "The Lost Cause": This titular description of our late war, which has become ho popular on the southern side, originated with the present writer. Shortly af? ter the war he proposed to write a history of it. He offered the work he designed to a New York publisher, who thought well of it, but objected to the plainness of the title, "History of the War," etc. The work thus entitled might be confounded with some other inferior memoirs of the war which the writer had already com? posed?mere annals?"First Year of the War," etc. "Could not some title be found more uni? que and captivating, and not quite so heavy?" The writer promised to think of such a title. The next day he presented himself to the pub? lisher and said: "I have thought of a name for the work I design. It 's 'The Lost Cause.'" You see, the bulk of the people ot the South were persuaded that wo really contended for something that had the dignity and importance of a cause?the cause of constitutional liberty, (though God ouly knows what the sequel might have demonstrated.) I thiuk there is some? thing of proper dignity in the word 'Cause;' then 'The Lost Cause' is an advertisement of something valuable that is gone; besides, the associations of the title are tender and reveren? tial?there is a strain of mourning in it. "How do you like it?" "Excellently well," replied the publisher; "it is just the thing." The title proved an instant success, and has since become monumental. The words "The Lost Cause" have been incorporated into the common popu? lar language of the South, aud the universality of their reception implies a significance that is itself interesting. ? A Jersey paper tells a very interesting story of a little hoy in the State. lie was picked up and carried to the house in an in? sensible condition. After watchirg by his bedside through many weary hours, his mother Eerceived signs of returning consciousness, eaning over him she asked if there was any? thing she could do for him, now that he began to feel better? Should she bathe his forehead, or change his pillow, or fan him? Was thero anything he wanted ? Opening his eyes lan? guidly, and looking at her, he said: "Yes, I want a pair of pants with a pocket behind." He got them. ? Ann Campbell, a Canada dairy-maid, has t died at the age of 131 years. She had worn f out fifteen generations of cows, A Woman that never Slanders her Neighbors. "Mercy knows," said Aunt Jerusha, as she settled herself in her small rocking chair, and wiped her steel bowed specks on her apron be? fore placing them astride her nose, "mercy knows I never slandered my neighbors; I've enough to take care of my own affairs. Now there is Dorothy Ann?always knows just what every one has on at church. The idea of look? ing at people's dress in church! But that is some folks failings. We all have our failings, I s'pose," and a sigh finished the sentence. Whether this harangue was addressed to the world in general, or was for the especial bene? fit of a tall young lady seated at a table near by, inserting a pair of shears into a piece of cloth, we do not know. The young lady made no reply, but a mischievous smile flittered over her face, and a silence followed unbroken, save by the vengeful snap of the shears as they closed over the cloth, and the loud tick of the clock in the corner. Suddenly Aunt Jerusha Seered out of the window. "Look, Minerva ane?ain't them the Carpenter girls going by?" "Yes," was the laconic answer. "Do you see how they are dressed I They came sailing into church during prayer time last Sunday, looking like peacocks. I watched down the aisles clear to their seats. They wore green silks, velvet coats, and their bonnets looked like flower gar? dens. I noticed their furs in particular;. they were new and fashionable. Much cause they have to be proud I I should think a glance at. home would lower their feathers some. But here comes Mrs. Baker! O, dear, she is a reg? ular gossip, and we shall have to listen to her long yarns all the afternoon. What a bore she is I" A vigorous knock at the door was fol? lowed by the entrance of the lady in question. Aunt Jerusha rose with a beaming face to greet her. "My dear Mrs. B?ker, how do you do ? I was just thinking about you. Lay aside your things and spend the afternoon. Minerva Jane, bring out the rocking-chair for Mrs. Baker." The two ladies were seated with-their sewing, and Aunt Jerusha asked; ' .' \ "Have you seen Mrs. Fase recently? I won? der if her husband is as bad as ever? I declare that woman has a time of it." "I s'pose, you know he stole the pork from Mr. Briefs cellar a few weeks ago?" "Yes, I heard of it." "Have you seen Mrs. Slocum riding with the young doctor?" "To be sure; some folks says he's her cousin, but I don't believe it" "Well, now, I do say," replied Aunt Jerusha, ."I-don't slander my neighbors; but that's pretty doings, anyhow. Did you ever hear what a wild ,girl she was before she was married ? My sisters husband's cousin used to know her, and* she said she was perfectly independent; didn't care what folks said about her. But I suppose you have'heard of Mr. Este's failure?" For my part I don't wonder at it, his wife was so ex? travagant; you've no idea how much waste there was in his house. I'm not surprised that her husband failed. They say he drinks; I should think Mrs. Smith would feel dreadful bad to have Susan marry him; they're en? gaged, I'm told. I would'nt have him courting Minerva Jane for anything; but, then, Susan ain't any better than she should be; I don't slander my neighbors, but I must say I should not want a daughter of mine doing as she does. Why, Mrs. Baker, you putting np your work; do stay till after tea. Well, if you can't, good? bye; come again soon. There 1 if I ain't re? lieved," continued Aunt Jerusha, as the door closed upon the departing guest. "Did you ever hear a woman go on so about her neigh? bors? The idea of slandering everybody as she does; to be sure, I have to talk with her when she's here, but mercy knows I don't slan? der my neighbors."

The Cleveland Leader says that a gentle? man in that city, who prides himself on his personal appearance, lately sought to remove a grease spot from his coat tail, by the free use of benzine, and then stood close to the stove that the odor might evaporate more quickly. He was correct in his theory, but unfortunate in practice, for he was soon turning cartwheels through the window, and there was not enough coat tail left to make a "weskit" for a doll-ba? by. He does not ride horseback now; and he sleeps on all-fours like a mule. ? Dr. Batty, of Home, Ga., recounts in the Atlanta Medical Journal a novel surgical oper? ation which he has successfully performed upon one of his female patients, and to which he gives the name of "normal ovariotomy," mean? ing thereby the extirpation of the healthy ovaries for the relief of a functional disturb? ance. The operation is assuredly a bold one, and in the case in question apparently bad a happy result But, without detracting from the brilliant skill of the operator, it may per? haps be suggested that this sort of remedial procedure bears some resemblance to that adopted by the gentleman mentioned in "Pick? wick," who cut off his little boy's head to cure him of squinting. ? This item is going the rounds of the news? papers : "A boy about fifteen years old, was put in the Toombsat New York the other night for drunkenness. He protested to the keeper that he had not been drinking, but that he wa* bom drunk. His speech and stapgering indi? cated intoxication but it appeared on examina? tion that this is his normal condition. His father was a confirmed inebriate, and since he was three years old the boy has manifested these symptoms." We have heard of individ? uals being "born tired," but never before, to our remembrance, of such a cose as the above. The story, however, is a good one, and should be treasured in the memories of those who may some time or other need an excuse to get out of a difficulty. We must confess, however, that it would be rather hard on the paternal relatives if frequently used. ? An Iowa editor recently announced that a certain patron of his was "thieving as usual." He declares he wrote it "thriving." , ? The most pitiable object on earth is a man whose wife wants to talk him out of doing something. ? A prosperous merchant has for his motto: "Early to bed and early to rise; never get tight, and advertise." ? "Pillow slip" parties are the latest sensa? tion at Dalton. Ga. They are very popular, and?immensely suggestive. ? Mr. Higgins being asked if he liked cod? fish balls, hesitatingly replied: "Well, really, I don't recollect ever having attended one." ? A little Buffalo girl wants to know if fleas are white?because her uncle told her that "Mary had a little lamb with fleas as white as snow." ? If those brilliant geniuses who are so ready to counsel an editor on the proper mode of conducting his paper would try their skill a little while they would be apt to find that there are as many who advise one course as there are who advise another. ? Here is a good business-like epitaph: "Here lies Jane Smith, wife of Thomas Smith, marble cutter. This monument was erected by her husband as a tribute to her memory and a specimen of his work. Monuments of the same style $250." ? Our experience in journalism, says an exchange, teaches Us that'there is nothing in this world that will so disgust and sicken the general reader as to learn, after wading through the particulars of ah awful accident, that there is a probability of the victim's recovery. ? A thrilling and romantic story published in a Western- paper, contains the following passage: "All of a sudden the girl continued to sit on the sand, gazing on the briny deep, on whose heaving bosom the tall ships went mer? rily by, freighted?ah I who can tell with how much of joy and sorrow and piue lumber and emigrants, and hopes and salt fish." ? "Bill Arp" is now editing the Rome Com? mercial. He goes for the latest style of bustles as follows: "We saw a lady on the street yes? terday who leaned smartly forward as she walked. From the amount of bandages and fillin that seem to have been put over the wound, the accident must have been a serious one. We were glad to see her out." ? Here is a joke almost good enough for Sheridan. Somebody in Kansas attempted to inclose a public road which ran through his farm and somebody else said, "it was one of the plainest cases of highway robbery he ever heard of." In these degenerate days in which wit and humor are supposed to consist mainly in bad spelling, we ought to be thankful for such a small favor as this. ? It has been said as a reproach against the fair sex, that, some of them occasionally go to church as much to show off their finery as for purposes of devotion. The ecclesiastical au? thorities of Lima, Peru, will not permit the possibility of such a vanity among the ladies of that city; we are told that recently a French lady was compelled to leave the Cathedral be? cause ehe had gone there with a fashionable bonnet on her head. ? A Western gentleman has invented a practical application of somnambulism to'do? mestic industry. The tenderest of husbands during his waking moments, whenever his wife does anything to displease him, he is sure to be seized with a fit of sleep-walking, in which he administers to her a sound castigation, and the most curious part of the affair is that on these occasions he is so very fast asleep that nothing will wake him until the whipping is accom- ; plished. o DRUGS, DRUGS, DRUGS.
