LOVE IN AjCOTTAGE. j ?Y FEilKCIS A. DCETLiOE. * **TeH me, .Charley, who is that fasci? nating creature in blue that walttee so divinely ?" asked young Frank Belm ont of his friend, Charles Hastings, as they stood "playing wallflower" for the mo? ment, at a military ball... .. . "Ida Heathcote." 'answered Charles, with IgQ Mb olAitttt* ?f-nrJoe. I proposed, but she refused me." "On. what ground { "dimply because' I had a comfortable income., Her head is full of romantic no? tions, and she dreams of nothirg but lore in a cottage.'' She contends that poverty is essential'to happiness?and money is bane." "Have, you given up all hopes of her ?" "Entirely gin fact, rm engaged." "Then you have no objections to my addressing the dear, romantic angel ?" "None Whatever. . But I see my jkmos ?excuse me? I nv.tst walk through the next quadrille with her.!' . Frank Belmont was a stranger in Bos? ton?a New. Yorker?immensely rich and ' fashionable, but his reputation had not proceeded .h^yn- _flnd Charley-Hastings was the only man-who knew him in Eng? land. He procured an introduction to the beauty from one of the managers, and soon danced and talked himself into her good graces. ' In .fact; it was a clear case of love at first sight on both sides. ' The enamoured pair were sitting apart, enjoying a most delightful Me a Me. Suddenly Belm out heaved a deep sigh. "Why do you sigh, ^Mr. Belmont V asked the fair " Ida,. somewhat ^nlelsed with this proof of sensibility. "Is not this a gay scene V "Alas 1 yes," replied Belmont, gloomi ' ly,-"but fate does not permit me to mingle habitually in scenes like this. They'onty'h?fte mv ordinary life double gloomy?and even "here I seem to see the shadow of-^- fiend1 waving me away. What right havel to be here?" "What fiend do you allude to?" asked Miss Heathcote, with increasing interest 'A fiend hardly presentable in good society," replied Belmoiuy bitterly.? "One could tolerate a MephistophHes?a dignified fiend, with his pockets full- of I money?but my tormentor, impersonfied, ] would appear with seedy boots and a shocking bad hat." "It is too true," sighed Belmont, "and the name of this fiend is Poverty fr "Are you jpoor?" "Yes, madamq. - I am poor, and when ' I would rain1 render myself agreeable th the eyes- Of beauty?in the eyes of one I could love, this fiend whispers to me, 'Beware! you have nothing to offer her but love in a cottage J " . _ _ ^^BUfa?t,"said Ida, with ling eyes, and a voice of unusual anima? tion, "although there are sordid souls in this world, who only judge of the merits of an individual by his pecuniary posses? sions, I am not one of that number. I respect,pot erty ; there is something high? ly poetical about it, and 1 imagine that happiness is offener found in the humble cottage than beneath the palace roof." Bel mont appeared enchanted with this encouraging avowal. -The-next- day, after cautioning his friend Charley to say nothing of actual circumstances, he called on the widow Heathcote and her fair daughter in the character of the "poor genflemari." ' The widow had very differ? ent notions from her romantic offspring, and when Belmont candidly confessed his poverty on soliciting permission to address Ida, he was very politely re? quested to change the subject, and never mention it again.. ,- > , ? The result of all this' manoeuvring was an elopement; the belle of the hall jump? ing ont of a chamber window on a shed, and coming down a flight of steps to reach her lover, for the sake of being ro? mantic, when she might just as well nave walked out the front door. The happy couple passed a day in New York city, and then Frank took his be? loved to bis "cottage." An Irish hack conveyed them to miserable shanty in the environs of New York, where they alighted, and Frank, escorting the bride into the apartment which, served for parlov,j kitchen, and I drawing room, and was neither, papered nor . carpeted, introduced Her- to his mother, much in,the way Claude Med notte presents Pauline. The old woman.. who was peeling potatoes, hastily wiped her hands and lace with a greasy apron/ and sainted her "darter," as she called ' her, on both cheeks. "Can it be possible," thought Ida, "that this vulgar creature is my Bel mont's mother:" "Frank!" screamed the old woman, "You'd better go right up stairs and take off them clothes?for the boy's been sent arter 'em more'n fifty times. Frank bor ried them clothes, ma'am," she added to Ida, ,by 4?ay-of-.explanation, "to Jook'j smart when he went down East." ' The bridegroom retired on this hint, and soon re-appeared in a pair of faded nankeen pantaloons, reaching to about the calf of the leg, ja very shabby black coat, ont at the elbows, a ragged black vest, and, instead of his varnished leather boots, a pair of immense, cowhide bro gans. "Now," said he, sitting quietly down by the cooking stove, "I begin to feel at home. Ah ? this is delightful, isn't it, dearest?" and he warbled,? "Though never .*> humble, there's no place like home.*' Ida's heart swelled so that she could not utter a single word. "Dearest," said Frank, "I think you told me von had no objection to smok? ing?" "None in in the least," said the bride; "I rather like the flavor of a cigar." "0, a cigar?" replied Belmont; "that would never do for a poor man." And O horror? he produced an old clay pipe, and filling it from a little news* paper parcel of tobacco, began to smoke with a keen relish. ; J "Dinner! dinner!" he exclaimed at lenghth; "ah! thank* yon, mother; I'm as hungry'as a bear. Codfish and pota? toes, Ida?not- very tempting fare?but what ofthat? our ailment is love!" "Yes, and by the way of treat," added the old woman, "I've been and gone and brought a whole pint of Albany ale, and three cream cakes, from the candy shop next block." Poor Ida pleaded indisposition, and could not eat a mouthful. Before Bel? mont, however, the codfish and potatoes, and the ale, and cream cakes disappeared with a very unromantic and unlover-like velocity. At the close of the meal, a thundering double knock was heard at the door. "Come in I" cried Belmont. A low browed man, in a green waist? coat, entered. "Now, Misther Belmont," he exclaim? ed, in a strong Hibernian accent, "are ye ready to go to work ? By the powers I if I don't see ye saited to-morrow on the shop-board, I'll discharge, yo without a character?fved ye shall starve on Ahe top ofibat." > v ,, .: j ii. ^Tb-morrow morning, Mr. Maloney,". replied Belmont meekly, "I'll be at my. post." "And it'll be mighty heathy for you to do that same/' replied the man as he re? tired. "Belmont, speak?tell me," gasped Ida, "who is that man?that loafer?" "He is my employer,", answered Bel? mont smiling. "And'you?" "Am a journeyman tailor, at your ser? vice?a laborious and thankless calling it ever was to me?bat now, dearest, as I drive the hissing goose across the smok? ing seam. I shall think of my own angel and my dear cottage and be happy." That night Ida retiredjreepifng 'to bier room in the attic. * - ?*JU *?? JL. "That 'ere connterpin, darter," said the old woman, "I worked with these .here old hands; ain't it putty? I hope you'll sleep well here. There's a broken pane of glass, bnt I've put one of Frank's old.vtats in it, and I don't think you'll pizinin' of 'em.' Left alone, Ida.,thre,w, herself into a chair, and bunt into e flood-of tears. Even Belmont had.-ce.verl to-be attractive in her eyes?the stern privations that surrounded her banished all thoughts of love. - The realities of lif3 had.cured her in one'day "of her Q?lx?tle notions^ * "WelOda, howT do you. like poverty, and love 'Irr a cottage"?* asked Beimont/ entering in his brjdal dress. ?

The story, is brief,Vbot-j With an immense moral is showing how. f in some things lovely woman will always come to the relief of a sister indislresto outwit the tyrant man. The journalist above referred to, was stopping at the hotel, a priiate.?oewhere the guests were accustomed Urthe entire freedom of the home, fel t;late> one night the necessity of j eating some fruit before retiring. It was too late to send ont tor, buy. any,;, he did : not want to arouse the servants of the I Uonse at so late an hour, and yet fruit er preserves or something toothsome of the kind seemed to him a personal necessity. He knew where the store-room was, knew that the door was left open, and finally resolved to go down and prig enough to satisfy bis need. No sooner was the thought conceived than acted upon, and within five minutes he was in the storeroom booking preserves out of a jar and^|jyMg.-him8elrHmmensely .inT 1 craving-- which had come ihents of] by a light, swift was7a b witch and j r door opened? ad->] denlv ^an^^me^ne^lwnndea. in with ?uctf^d?wness^ss,1 Urning ^squarely against the form of the midnight raider, to knock him half way across the room, and squarely off his feet. Leaping up at once, ne closed with his assailant- to be startled by a sudden shiek and to find that he had captured a woman. Fur? ther, and more, terrible ariJl, be discover: , ed that the'plump forra-of* the Isdy^wbo' had wanted something to eat as well as ' he was clad only in a night-dress. Still, though trying, the occasion was one not of unmixed horror by any means, and in a moment the gentleman's nerve returned and his curiosity rose to fever heat. "Who is this ?" he demanded of the plump figure in his arms. No answer. "Who is it?" he repeated. 'You'll not get out of this until you tell." Still no answer, bnt a struggle in the darkness, the plump figure trying hard to get away. Again th* qoftrry was repeated, with equal lack ofresponse, but this time a resounding slap in the face from a hand that Was doubtles pretty, but which hit with decided force, was the reward of the questioner. He was put on his mettle at once. "You think you'll get off unknown ! We'll see about that!" he exclaimed.? "I've a device that'll work, I think."? And then, after a silent and determined struggle, he caught a little bit of the lady's right cheek between his teeth and bit it?not badly so as to break the vel? vety skin, but sufficiently hard to leave a mark which he knew could not disappear for a day or two. Then he released his unknown'prisoner, and she fled like the [ wind along the passage, disappearing in some room impossible to locate in the darkness. The next morning the gentleman with a mUtery to solve came down to break? fast early. No ladies had yet appeared but at his table were one or two intimate male friends, and to them he confided the story-of his adventure in the night, 'rela? ting also the means he had taken fo se? cure the identification of the un? known lady. The most intense curiosity at once prevailed at the table and the [ advent of the ladies was .awaited with an impatience scarcely to be controlled.? I Five minutes later the door opened and the belle of the hotel entered demurely, [glided across the room and seated herself I for breakfast. Eager eyes followed her,' and, as her face was fairly exposed, there was a sensation among the gentlemen.? Upoo her right cheek was a trip of court plaster an inch long! The excited men, changed glances ana whispers and smiles, j The mystery was solved early. But just then another lady entered, this time a dignified matron. As she seated herself ] there was disclosed upon her right cheek a piece of court-plaster identical in ap? pearance with that upon the face of the belle! Another, and another lady enter? ed. Upon the right cheek of every one of them appeared a piece of court-plaster. The tables filled up and not a lady at one of them but wore court-plaster on the right check! And then the gentle? men looking confidently for a revelation wilted. They comprehended, the situa? tion. The lady who bad been captured in the night bad confided her extremity to her friends and they had come to the rescue to outwit male humanity. They had succeeded, too. The discomfitted men at that particular table knew that beneath one of the many pieces of court plaster in the room were hidden the marks of teeth, but which was the iden? tical bit of court-plaster they could not tell. And they .never learned. ? Lager beer will not intoxicate if left in the barrel. It is only men who at? tempt to take the place of barrel who get into trouble. ? A little girl asked a minister; "Do you think my father will go to heaven ?" Why, yes, ray child. Why do you ask ?" "Well, because if he don't have his own way-there, he won't stay long, I was hinking." ? There are a good many illustrations now-a-days of the story about that man who went through bankruptcy. He had owned a fine horse and buggy, and the team disappeared for a time, out by and by it was doing service for the same man again. On being asked what this meant, the man's reply was: "I went through bankruptcy, but the team went round." ? \ I?rtgrlForage. ~IE iai f^otoriouSTact that not more than one farmer in every ten, lays up a sufficient amonnt of long forage to supply his stock during the winter and. spring months. It is just as notorious a fact that tie fault is wholly in the farmers themselves, and notin: the soil or climate of the cou n try. r It .is useles to state that none of the domestic animals can?, subs ist) in a healthy condition without an abun? dance of roughness, as bay, fodder and I com shucks, are'Conrrrjonly.calbd. Hay is shipped every season to-Southern mar? kets from Northern' StS^es^atfa sold at fabulous prices. A few years since hay was shipped from Kentucky to Yexk ville, and aold readily-afiwc: dollars per hundred pounds. It was good hay, but oo^nanlcan^aflord^to feed .st?ek cabnn-: dantly on hay that costs two do.!lars*per hundred pounds. Every farmer should begin in time to prepare for, winter. .The best farmers in our country prepare their lands and plant their crops as if making prepara? tion for a dryyear/( They plow qeep a?d give the crops plenty of room. These farmers generally succeed in making' good crops. On the same principle, it would be well. for every farmer iu. our . country to fay up all kinds of pro-Tender for his stock, as if he were cctaiu ? the . winter would be a hard one. There'is scarcely any danger of the country be? coming overstocked with long forage.? On the.contrary, the danger is that the , barns will bo empty before the March winds have ceased to blow. If all the grass that every farmer has on his place was carefully cut and cured, and then i stowed away in houses, there would be j ' an ahundahce bf^rdvendeTTo Tteep'all the stock of the country in fine condition, until the-grass in the .pastures would be-j gin to grow next spring. A little e^85] pense now will avoid a heavy outlay next "spring.1'??].

The child is then saved; it soon falls asleep.. Soon after the child awakes, it shows eligbt symptoms of returning inclination for food; help its bowels, if j necessary, with injections of oil, soap and water, and its recovery will be as steady ? as the growth of a green-.house ..plant, if | well treated.

This is still more startling, but nothin^is^?Wier?rprodf. ?*" Short Sentences.?Short phrases have ever been moist powerful and beau? tiful mediums of conveying thought They are simplicity, and simplicity is beauty. Easily understood, no study is required to grasp the meaning. A pro? phetic politician makes a-declaration re? specting government, and the people soon catch the spirit and confirm'the declara? tion. Results from such phrases may not be immediate?but the words go sounding on until their work is accom pushed. .Short.phrases are comprehen? sive, and sometimes contain whole vol? umes. 'Caesar's "Verii,' vidi/jrici" 'gaVe the history of a whole campaign. And the last words of the dying Tom Paine? "I take a leap in the dark 1"?a confes? sion of judgment stronger than the infi? delity of a lifetime, when the remainV of Napoleon Bonaparte were brought to) Paris by Prince de Joinville, the entire speech-making was this: "Sir, I present to you the ashes of Napoleon." And Louis Phillippe answered, "I 'receive' them in the name of France." Such was the brief response of a people to the presence of the dead emperor. Some? times . in a single sentence the life and character of some great man stands out strangely revealed and individualized. No biographer could depict the character, of Enoch more clearly than the simple words;. "Enoch walked with Godj and was not?for God took him." The first | chapter of Genesis is a symbol of the power which a few words can embody. ? "All is vanity," remarked a tinware' peddler, the other day. "What's life to me but holler and tin sell ?" ? "Why, Ichabod, I thought you Sot married mor'n a year ago." "Well, .ant Jerush, it was talked Of, but I found out that the girl and all her folks were, opposed to it,, and so I just gave 'em all the mitten and let the thing drop. ? A quaint writer says: "I have seen women so delicate that they were afraid to ride for fear of the horses running away; afraid to sail, for fear of the. boat j being unset; afraid to run, for fear they might' fall; bot I never saw one afraid to be married, wbich is far more riskful than all the others put together^ rrwrr ? A gentleman caught a negro 'carry ing. off some of his fancy poultry the other night "What are you doing with my chickens?" he yelled. "I wuz gwine for ter fetch 'em back, boss.

Ef dey does, I'm mighty 'shamed er hustlin' uv 'em roun'. Aigs is Scase." ? A long, lean, lantern-jawed, lop eared chap, with a slouch hat and a squeaking voice, entered a saloon, and said: "Gentlemen, how many of you will drink at ray expense?" "I will I" was repeated by the crowd in chorus. "This proves to you, gentlemen," continued he, putting down a nickle for his own beer, "how fittle can be depended on first im? pressions. You love me now, filled with the anticipation of a good square drink. Your anticipations will be blasted, and then yon will hate me. Let this be a great moral lesson to you." They gave him the grand bounce in a hurry, but the moral lesson was there all the same.' ? The Southern Presbyterian Church steadily recovers from the prostration, which followed the civil war,' and in its recent statistics gives evidence of healthy growth. ? During theyeaf ending" April 1, 1876, there was an increase of 4,852 members. The number of minis-' ters, however, is not increasing, 1,079 being reported in 1876, against 1,084 in 1875. There are 1,831 churches, against 1,797 in 1875. The total number of com? municants is 110,183.
