HOW THE FARMER MISSED IT. If I had told her in the Spring The old, old story briefly, When the sparrow and the robin began to sing, And the plowing was over, chiefly! But haste makes waste, and the story sweet, I reasoned, will keep through the sow? ing. Till I drop the corn and plant the wheat, And give ?iem a chance for growing. Had I even told the tale in June, When the wind through the grass was blowing, Instead of thinking it rather too soon, And waiting till after the mowing! Or had I hinted, out under the stars, Th8t I knew a story worth hearing, Lingering to put up the pasture bars, Nor waited to the shearing! Now the barn is full, and so is the bin, But Tve grown wise without glory, Since love is ?ae crop not gathered in, For my neighbor told her the story. [Burlington Hawkeyc. THE LOVED AND LOST. The loved and lost 1 Why do we call them lost? Because we miss them from our onward road. God's unseen angel o'er our path way cross'd. Looked on us all, and loving them the most, Straightway relieved them from life's weary load. Tbey are not lost; they are within the door That shuts out loss and every hurtful thing? , With angels bright, and loved ones gone before. In ?aeir Redeemer's presence evermore, And God himself their Lord, their Judge and King. And this we call a loss! O, selfish sorrow, Of selfish hearts! O, we of little faith! Let us look round, some argument to bor? row, Why we in patience should await the mor? row That surely must succeed this night of death. Aye, look upon this dreary desert path, The thorns and thistles whereso'er wo tum: What trials and what tears, what wrongs and wrath, What struggles and what strife the journey hath! They have escaped from these; and lo! we mourn. Ask the poor sailor, when the wreck is done, Who with his treasure strove the shore to reach, While with the raging waves he battled on. Was it not joy, where every joy seemed gone, To see his loved ones landed on the beach. A poor wayfarer, leading by the hand A little child, bad halted by the well, To wash from off her feet the clinging sand, And tell the tired boy of that bright land Where, this long journey passed, they longed to dwell. When, lo! the Lord, who many mansions had, Drew near and looked upon the suffering twain, Then, pitying, spake: "Give me the little lad; In strength renewed and glorious beauty clad, I'll bring him with me when I come again." Did she make answer selfishly and wrong? "Nay, but the woes I feel he, too, must share." No 1 Rather, bursting into grateful song, She went her way rejoicing, and made strong To struggle on, since he was freed from care. We will do likewise. Death has made no breach In love and sympathy, in hope and trust; No outward sign or sound our ears can reach, ? ' But there's an inward, spiritual speech That greets us still, tho' mortal tongues be dust. It bids us do the work that they laid down? Take up the song where they broke off the strain! So joumeving till we reach the Heavenly Town. Where are laid up our treasures and our crown, And our lost, loved ones, will be found again. POPPOG THE QUESTION. Curious and Ludicrous Ways in Which it is Sometimes Done. Sir Arthur Helps believed that never since the world began did two lovers make love in exactly the same way as any other two lovers. Whether he was right is equally beyond proof or disproof. Certainly no question has been put in such a variety of ways as the most mo? mentous one a man can ask or a woman answer; how it is put depending upon time, place, circumstances, and the tem? perament of the individuals concerned. A marriage with a generous motive. A curious marriage proposal was made by a reverend bachelor who entered the matrimonial state on his death-bed. When in bis seventy-third year the min? ister had a severe attack of paralysis, which left him so weak and helpless that, feeling his end was not far distant, he proceeded to set his worldly affairs in order. His parish being an exceedingly ?mall one, and having been always a most liberal man, be had not much mon? ey to leave, which circumstance, had it not been for one reason, he would not have minded. For the last twenty years he had had aa housekeeper a steady, sensible wo? man, who had served him honestly, tended him like a daughter during his illness, and for whom be had quite a fa? therly regard. It was on her account that he mourned his poverty. It would have been a matter for thankfulness could he have left her as much as would have supported her comfortably and re? spectably in her old age?she was now about forty-five. After weighing and considering the matter for some weeks in very possible light, a way out of the difficulty suddenly dashed upon bim; and knowing the precarious state of bis health, he resolved to execute his purpo? ses at once. He called bis housekeeper, and when she entered the room be made her sit down ; and after telling her bow anxious and sorrowful he had been be? cause he had no money to leave her, be continued: "Of course you are aware that there is a minister's widows' fund, so that if the husband dies, bis wife will have an an? nuity during her life. Now, supposing you marry me, although I am almost at death's door, you will be amply provi? ded for in the future. Will you consent to this?" "Master, dear, you must be doting! What would people say ?" "I was never more serious in my life, Mary; and I am sure people will say we have both acted wisely in this matter. Take till the evening to think it over and then bring me your answer." In the evening Mary told bim she "would take him." So, ten days after they were married, and three days later the good old man died; but his widow still enjoyed her share of the "widows' fund." a soldier's proposal. A young officer was daocing in a set of lancers in a crowded drawing-room with an extremely pretty girl, to whom he made himself most agreeable, After the dance was over, he took her to a chair, and seating himself beside her, began to mourn bis celibacy. "It is exceedingly easy to remedy that," said she. "I don't think so at all; in fact, I do not know a girl who would marry me." She laughed and replied : "Just go and ask some one here to night.and I venture to say you will be ac? cepted by the first." "Ahl I am not so sure about that. But will you?take me?" "With pleasure?" And a few months later they were mar? ried. she changed her mind. A big, good-natured doctor was despe? rately in lore witb, and had been twice refused by a fair-haired little woman. But instead of the disappointment curing his love, it only made the passion grow more intense. After the last refusal he told her that if ever she changed her mind to let him know, as his love for her was unchangeble, and he would be proud to be her husband. Some months later he was driving home from seeing a pa? tient when he saw his lady iove riding in his direction. Supposing she would merely bow and pass on, as she had often done before, he;did not pull up bis horse. But the moment Miss Dixon came up to him she reigned in her horse, stopped, and called out: '?Won't you stop, Dr. Hill?" "I shall be happy to do so," thou waited for her to speak. She was gazing at the ground and blushing deeply, but, quickly looking up, she filled the doctors honest heart with surprise and gladness by saying: "Dr. Hill, I have been closely watch? ing you lately, and seeing nothing but gooduess and noblemindedness in your character, and believing you will make an excellent husband, I am quite willing to marry you." no objections. Mr. Smith, coming all the way from Australia on the lookout for a wife, saw a young governess on board a Glasglow steamer, whom, from her kindness and attention to some children under her charge, he fancied would suit him. So he went and introduced himself, and tak? ing a Beat beside her, said: "I am fifty-three years of age; have an income of a thousand a year; am a total abstainer from intoxicating drink ; have a good house near Melbourne, and all I want is a good wife to complete my possessions. Would you mind taking me ?" She quietly replied: "I have no objections." And a few weeks later they were made one. notto be fooled. A young man of about twenty-three year* of age, with neither money nor the prospect of getting any, came to the con? clusion that the best thing he could do would be to marry a '"rich wife" and live on her money. Among bis many ac? quaintances was a widow lady of about twice his age, with three children, but with a steady income of two thousand a year. Her resolved to marry, and in or? der to cultivate her friendship he took her presents of flowers and fruit, and Sive the children books end rides on his orse. The lady kindly received his at? tentions, gave bim the liberty of her house, ana treated him like a younger brother in every respect. The young fellow interpreting her kindness to suit himself, and believing he bad nothing to do but ask ber, ventured one evening on the subject in the following manner: "I wonder very much why you don't re? marry, Mrs. L??." "Simply because no one wants a widow with three children." "I know one who would be proud to have you and your dear children," said the wooer, feeling tho wornt was all over. "Indeed you are most flattering this evening. "No; I am not flattering. I love you, and would be proud to be your hus? band." She looked coldly ou him; then re? plied : "You mean you would be proud to own my money, sir. I have been vastly deceived in you." Then pointing to the door, she continued: "Leave my house, and while I live never dare re-enter it." quaint and ludicrous proposals. When Lord Strangford sat down to criticise a book of travels by Miss Beau? fort, he little dreamed that before long he would write to the young authoress: "I was thinking the other day about a com? munication from the Emperor Akbar to the king of Portugal which contained a request for copies of the holy book of the Christiane, and in which the following sentence occurs: 'In the world of hu? manity, which is the mirror and reflection of the world of God, there is nothing equal to love or comparable to human affection. For many years I have felt and known this, though I never said it till to-day to any one. When you next write, please give me the possessive pro? noun on the first person." Surely never was declaration made in quainter fashion, saving, perhaps by the Scotch beadle, who led the manee house? maid to the churchyard, and pointing with his finger, stammered: "My folks lie there, Mary; wad ye like to lie there?" Or the lugubriously hu? morous Irish lover who took his girl to see the family vault, and then asked her if she would like to lay her bones beside his bones. Luise de Savoie popped the question to Bourbon, but had to take "No" for her answer, the constable curtly declaring that the disparity of years between tbem, and his own feelings, rendered the union impossible. a lady's proposal. If ladies sin against propriety in taking the initiative, they can hardly be blamed for bringing a shilly-shallying or over bashful lover to & point, when a good opportunity presents itself. Such an op? portunity sufficed to end what had been a somewhat tedious courtship. The young man, paying his usual evening visit, asked his lady-love bow she got along with her cooking. "Nicely," replied she. "I'm improv? ing wonderfully, andean make splendid cake now." "Can you?" said the young fellow, ignorantly rushing on to his fate.? What kind do you like best?" "I like one made with flour and sugar, with lots of raisins, currants and citrons, and beautifully frosted on the top," re? sponded she. "Why, that's a wedding cake?" cried he. "I meant wedding," said she; and there was nothing left for him but to say he meant wedding, too. women find a way. Equally cleverly cornered was the . Western man whose girl told him she j was a mind-reader; whereupon he natu? rally inquired if she could read what was in his mind, eliciting for reply : "0, yes I You have it in your mind to ask me tobeyourwife; butyouare just a little scared at the idea." It is plain the notion did not scare her any more than it did the Galloway girl who, when Jock coming into the kiteben while she was preparing breakfast, said : "I think I'll marry ye, Jean?" an? swered : "I would be muckle obliged to ye if ye would I" and so concluded the bargain ; not even stipulating like another ready lassie on accepting as sudden an offer: "But ye maun gie me my dues o' courti u' for a' that, Jamie." That right of courtship is one out of which no woman ought to allow herself to be defrauded. proposing by proxy. Little as faint-heartedness in lover may be to the liking of a fair lady, it is suf? ficiently flattering to be condoned; but when any Caleb in search of a wife chooses to sue by delegate, be assuredly deserves to fail ignominously. Love is not to be woo by an attorney, and often times the attorney has thrown his client overboard and carried off the prize himself, as happened when William Grimm went courting in his brother's behalf. Hooker escaped that risk by leaving everything, even the selection of the lady, to Mrs. Churchman, who fouud him a wife and achieved a son-in-law herself at the same time. Proposing by proxy is the rule, not the exception, in Greenland. Time was when the Greculanders won their wives by capture: but since their conversion by Danish missionaries, they have be? come the tamest of wooers. Now a can? didate for the holy state goes to a mis? sionary, and tells him he wants a wife. "Whom?" asks the missionary, and learns the woman's name. Sometimes the man answers: "Yes; she is not unwilling; but thou knowest womankind.'" Usually the answer is "No." "Why have you not asked her?" in? quires the missionary. "It is difficult; girls are prudish ; thou must speak to her.'' Accepting the office, the good man Bends for the girl, and, after a little con? versation says: "I thiuk it is time to have theo mar? ried." The girl declares she has no mind to wed. '"That is a pity," says the missionary. I had a suitor for thee." Of course the damsel is curious enough to want to know who the suitor may be, and of course her curiosity is satisfied. "He is good for nothing," she ex? claims, with a toss of the head. "I won't have him." "But," the go-between urges, "he is a good provider; he throws his .harpoon with skill, and, moreover, ho loves thee." Still pretending to be obdurate, the girl answers that she will not consent to the match. "Well, well. I will not force thee; I ?ball soon find a wife for such a clever fellow," says the missionary, making be? lieve there is an end to the matter. The girl does not go. She stands si? lent for a little while, then in alow voice sighs out: "Just as you wilt have it." "No ; it is as thou wilt; I'll not per? suade thee," replies the clergyman. Then, with a deep groan, the roaideD says "yes," and^the matter is settled. a candle proposal. Dumb declarations are in vogue too among the Boers of South Africa. Mr. Anthony Trollope tells us that when a young Boer goes in quest of a wife he puts on his best clothes, sticks a feather in bis cap, provides himself with a bottle of su? gar-plums and a candle?a wax one if possible?mounts his horse, rides to the house holding the young woman he would honor, hangs the reins on the gate, dis? mounts and enters. His smart gear, bis feather and his candle bespeak his er? rand. To make the point quite clear, however, he offers the candle to the daughter of the house. If sho takes it, it is lighted; the mother sticks a pin in the candle to show how long the young peo? ple may remain together without interrup? tion and she aud everybody else retire; Mr. Trollope says a little salt is sometime:. Eut in by somebody to make the wick urn slowly, but when the flame reaches the pin, mamma comes in, the "freying" is over, and a day or two'afterward the pair are made one. the texas way. They manage these things differently in Texas. This is how a fond couple come to an understanding, according to one who pretends to know : He sits on one side of the room in a big white rocking chair; she oa the other side, in a little white oak rocking-chair. A long-eared deer-hound is by his side, a basket of sew? ing by hers. Both the young people rock incessantly. He sighs heavily, and looks, out of the west window at a myrtle tree ; she sighs lightly and gazes out of the east window at the turnip patch. At last he remarks: "This is mighty good weather for cot? ton picking." " 'Tis that," the lady responds, "if we only had auy to pick." The rocking continues. "What's your dog's name?" asks she. "Coony;!" Another sigh-broken still? ness. "What's he good for?" "What's be good for?" says he, ab? stractedly. "Your dog, Coony." "For ketching 'possums." Silence for half an hour. "He looks like a deer-hound." "Who looks like adeer-hound?" "Coony." "He is, but he's sort o' bellowsed, an' gettin' old an' slow, an' he ain't no 'count on a cold trail." In the quiet ten minutes that ensues she take3 two stitches in her quilt, a gorge? ous affair made after tho pattern called the "Rose of Sharon." "Your ma raising many chickens?" "Forty odd." Then more rocking, and somehow the big rocking-chair and the littlo rocking chair are jammed side by side, and rock? ing is impossible. "Makin' quilts?" he observes. "Yes," she replies, brifrhteniug up, for Bb.e is great on quilts. "I've just finished a gorgeous 'Eagle of Brazil,' a 'Setting Sun,' and a 'Nation's Pride.' Have you ever saw the 'YellowRo.se of the Prai? rie?" "No." More silence. Then he Hays: "Do you love cabbage?" "I do that." Presently his hand isaccidently placed on hers, of which she does not seem to be at all aware. Then he suddenly says : "I'se a great mind to bite you. " "What have you a great mind to bite me for?" "Kase you won't have me." "Kase you ain't axed me." "Well, now I ax you." "Then now I has you." Cooney dteams be bears a sound of kissing, and next day the young man goes after a marriage license. Axotiikr Minister In Trouble.? The Rev. Wm. M. Trumbower, pastor of the Porter M. E. Church at West Hobo ken, N. J., is charged on oath of Joseph Boh, with assault with intent to kill. He was released on giving $500 bail to an? swer an investigation. It seems, accord? ing to the New York Tribune's report of the affair, that Trumbower, who was a recent graduate of the Syracuso Theo? logical Seminary, boarded in the house of Boh, whose wife belonged to his church. Growing suspicious of the rela? tions between his wife and her pastor, Boh last Saturday left his house on pre? tense of going to New York, but djd not really leave the house, aud quietly ap? proaching the parlor door overheard a conversation between the young pastor and his wife, in which the pastor made propositions of elopement to the woman. At this point the husband, unable longer to restrain his wrath, burst open the door. He at once ordered the pastor to leave the house, which the latter, without wait? ing to put on his hat, made haste to do. Mrs. Boh started to run after him, when her husband seized her, and a desperate struggle ensued, which resulted in her escaping. She fled into the street, with her husband in hot pursuit. Catching sight of the pastor, Mr. Boh ran then to? ward him, aud was rapidly gaining upon him, when the pastor stopped and pulling a revolver from his pocket cried, "Stand back, man, or I'll snoot." Boh halted, and the pastor, followed closely by BoIi'h wife, disappeared in the darkness, and found shelter among friends, when the arrest for assault followed. Trumbower denies being guilty of any impropriety. Answer This.?Did you ever know any person to be ill, without inaction of the Stomach, Liver or Kidneys, or did you ever know one who was well when either was obstructed or inactive; and did you ever know or hear of any case of the kind that Hop Bitters would not cure? Ask your neighbor this same question.? Times. ? The woman who put her tongue to a flat iron to see if it was hot. now sits by calmly and sees her husband pull off his dirty boots on the parlor carpet without a word of dissent. She Took Him at His Word.?A capital story is told of a Kentucky girl who had agreed to elope with a lover whom her parents had refused to admit to the house. She descended the ladder in the night and started with him on horseback. "Now you are sure how much I love," she said, "you will always be a true and kind husband, won't you?" He gruffly answered, "Perhaps I may and perhaps not." She rode in silence for a few minutes, when she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, what shall we do? I have left my money be? hind me in my room." "Then," said he, "we must go back and fetch it." They were soon again at the house, the ladder was again replaced, the lady remounted, while the ill-natured lover remained below. But she delayed to come and be gently called out, "Are you coming?" when she looked out of the window and said, "Perhaps I may and perhaps not," and then shut down the window. ? As the result of its canvass of Penn? sylvania newspaper opinion, the Phila? delphia Times reports that of the sixty six Eepublican journals heard from, tweuty-six favor Blaine's candidacy, twenty-two are out-spoken for Grant, three endorse Sherman, and fifteen are non-committal. Out of sixty-eight Dem? ocratic newspapers, fifteen are forTilden, thirteen for Bayard, eleven for Hancock, nine for Seymour, and twenty non-com? mittal. As this is not by any means a complete survey of the newspaper field, and newspaper sentiment is not always a reliable indication of political feeling, these figures possess only a relative value. Taking them for what they are worth, they seem to show that the Pennsylvania Republicans are pretty evenly divided be? tween Blaine and Grant, with Sherman almost out of the fight, while the Demo? crats have four candidates with a follow? ing of nearly even strength, Tilden being slightly the favorite. That Mr. Blaine should lead the field on the Republican side was to be expected, notwithstanding the talk that the Camerons bad pledged the State to Grant, but it is rather surpris? ing to find that Mr. Tilden, who is open? ly antagonized by the Wallace wing of the Democratic party, should still retain his crip; although, when it is remem? bered that the preference expressed for Bayard, Hancock and Seymour is vir? tually a cry of "anybody to beat Tilden," it will be seen that the Tildenites are in a hopeless minority. ? A Washington correspondent says there is good authority lor the statemeut that the Supreme Court of the United States will refuse to advance on the docket the case to test the legality of the legal tenders, reissued under the act of 1878, inaugurated by Mr. Chittenden and General Butler. The reasons given for the refusal are, first, because, owing to the illness of Justice Hunt, the full bench is not sitting; and, second, because the Court does not desire to subject itself to the charge of rendering a judicial opin? ion for political effect. Should the re? port prove true Congress will be com? pelled to tackle the financial problem, at least until the case is reached in its reg? ular order, which may be several years. ? There is, says the Baltimore Gazette, one great point in favor of Mr. Bayard's nomination and election as president that should not be overlooked. Delaware is such a small State it is not likely that enough people could be found there to fill all the offices, while in New York the offices would not go half round among the faithful uuless the present lot was quadrupled. It is expecting almost too much iu these degenerate days, but if we had such a man as Thomas A. Bayard iu the Presidential chair about four years we would all feel prouder of our country at the end of that time than we have ever done since the Democratic party went out of the Presidential business. ? A singular discovery was made Wednesday among the effects of Judge Edmunds, the Washington Postmaster lately deceased, being nothing less than the last will and testament of the late Zachariah Chandler, who was supposed to have died intestate. It seems that the will was drawn in 1865, and left in the custody of Judge Edmunds, who had doubtless forgotten its existence at the time of his death. By the terms of the will the large estate is divided equally between the widow and her only daugh? ter, the wife of the Hon. Eugene Hale, of Maine. ? Nat. Smith, the negro who was con? fined in jail at Jonesboro', Ga., for an at? tempted outrage on a Mrs. Gay, was ta? ken out by a party of unknown men, car? ried five miles into the woods and hanged on a tree on the night of January 16. When found he had a gun-shot wound through the breast, apparently made after he had been hanged. ? A wife wanted her husband to sym? pathize with her in a femiuinc quarrel; but he refused, saying, "I've lived long enough to know that one woman is as good as another, if not better." "And 1," retorted the wife, "have lived long enough to know that one man is us bad as another, if not worse!" ?Miller, of Ferris, Texas, chloroformed her father's dogs and eloped with the young man whom her father had for bjdden the premises. The probabilities are that about a year hence, she will con? clude that her life would have been less miserable if she had chloroformed the young man and eloped with her father's dogs. ?Mr. Tuppcr, a farmer who lives above Columbus, Ga, has given the following rat story : He was going out to his corn crib the other morning, he says, when he saw a large rat, with head erect, carry? ing a full-sized ear of corn in his mouth, while at the same time his tail was wrapped around another large ear which he was dragging behind him. ? A man will eat soggy buscuit twice a week without complaiut, when his best girl invites him to tea. But after that girl becomes his wife, if there is a faint? est indication of a touch of saleratus in them, the neighbors will think there's a district school out for recess by the rackot he makes. There is a coustant warfare being waged between the various spocics of the animal kingdom. Think of the horri bleuess of an army of worms storming the citadel of life. A dose of Shriner's Indian Vermifuge will destroy them. ? The Czar has a nice little income ?a trifle of $25,000 a day. The Sultan sets $18,000 a day, the Emperor of Aus? tria $10,000, the Emperor of Germany $8,200, the King of Italy, $6,400, and the King of the Belgians, 1,643. ? If you would relish food, labor for it before you take it; if to enjoy clothing, pay for it before you wear it; if you would sleep soundly, take a clear con? science to bed with you. ?
