A MATRIMONIAL CAMPAIGN. The old village clock WM striking eight in ita muffled, asthmatic way, when Mr. Blidgefield ?ame up the garden path with a paper of moist, brown sup- un der ono arro, and a half ap J of paraffine candies under the other. On each side of him rose up /ump heads of cabbages, and blue-green swamps of onions. A thrifty hop-vine was waving ita tassels against the porch pillars, and a bed of parsley was growing rankly by the gate. For Mr. Blidge field was a firm believer in the beauty of j utility. In the days of his deceased wife thero had been a faint attempt at morning glory vines, clove-pinks and Johnny jumpers around tho house, but Mr. Blidgefield had soon settled that matter. "Fudge !" he had ruthlessly cried. "They ain't good to neither stew for cough-mixtures, nor to boil up for greens. Looks? What do I care for looks? Ain't a squash bloom every bit as pretty as a marigold, I'd like to know? My daughter must be brought up not to care for empty sho1* 1" And so all the wild, fantastic beauty of nr.ture had been narrowed down into vegetable borders and potato patches, and the souls of the Blidgefield children had be?n narrowed accordingly. Money ! money ! money ! That was the God of Mr. Blidgcfield's idolatry. Ho went to church on Sunday, and sat out the servico in his cushionless pew, but to him all that tho choir sang and the preacher preached was-money ! He attended the prayer-meetings punct ually, for be was a member of tho church, but ho never put more tban a copper penny in the plate. "If every man takes care of number one," he said, with n hard compression of his lignum vita: lipo, "tho whole world will be took care of!" He rose up early to economize the Hunshine, and lay down lato for fear of wasting time. Ho kept a whole alma nac full of proverbs on tho tip of his tongue, and denounced ''shiftlessness as if it were one of the seven cardinal sins." Dancing was an ?UBU... mt of the Evil Ono ; novel reading was the opening wedge to Dante's Purgatorio. Anything in the shape of innocent recreation was a direct flying in the face of Providence. And the Blidgefield children grew up gaunt, careworn and prematurely old under th in ny nt cm of training. Mr. Blidgcfield's first wife had drop ped quietly and obicurcly into her grave before any one fairly comprehended that abc was not in high health. Hard work and a relentless taskmaster had fairly worried ber out of the world. And all the neighborhood marveled when, ten years afterward, Nancy Bloom married the widower. Nancy was the village school-teacher -a bright-eyed, buxom young woman of twenty-eight or thirty. She had taken a fancy to tho little Blidgefields, and sho was tired of teaching and wanted n home. "You'll find Ben Blidgefield a hard nut to crack," said the neighbors, warn ingly. "PH riak'it," Nancy had cheerily re plied. And so she married Mr. Blidgefield, and went to the farm house to live. The six young Blidgefields had been fold thai a Eientnother was a fearful thing, but to their surpriso, they found Mrs. Blidgefield Number Two a positivo revelation of delight. "She shored mo how to boil molasses candy, with hickory-nuts chopped up in it," said Simeon, a weird child of eleven, who- waa popularly supposed to be ignor ant even of the motion of a humming top. "She gave me apple-sass on my bread," whispered Marion, the next. "We're to have pie every day," chuckled Moses, who liked good things to eat and drink. "And Pm to lay up the berry money for a blue muslin frock all of my own," added Adelina, who bad never worn any thing but her mother's faded old calico gowns scantly cut over. "I'm to have a bran fired new tool-cheat if I raise tho red heifer calf," exulted George, the tallest boy. And Leroy, the eldest, who bad been scolded, snubbed, and kept down all his life, felt, with a thrill of hnppiness, that his. new stepmother secretly sympathized with bis efforts to rise in the world. "Now the? here," thought Leroy, "I feel as if I could do most anything." Ur. Blidgefield had scarcely been married n week, when he came home on iaisrs?r rainy Augaat night, ??it?? the pack of groceries yoder his arms, and a dissatisfied frown between his brows. "Two candles," he said, peeping gloomily under the hem of the ball fringed window curtain. "And chicken for supper-and apple-sass, and cheese I And every one settln' round, and nobody doin'nowork. This won't do. Nancy must learn better than this 1" He opened th? door and walked grim !? tn .rf A dead silence fell upon tho children at the wet-blanketing apparition oi "father." But Nancy looked cheerfully up. "You'relate,aren't yon, Benjamin?" .aid abe. .' "What's thia?" said Mr. Blidgefield, ignoring her query, fis ho glared arcni. J. "It's supper," said Nancy, "Sit down, my dear, and help yourself." "Obickcn !" croaked the farmer ; "and spring thicken at that, wheti they're a fetohen'sixty cents a pair at the hotel I Sweet cake, sass, and the bes*knives I Hoses !? put them fowls back in the cup board.

"Moses, lot the chickens alono," said Mrs. BUdgofioId, in .soft beliderale nc cent*. ''Adelina, don't meddle with the ;"Wh?t,l" roarf4 Mr. Blidgefield, b-c* tag th?, bag of augar down on tho ubi o ?nd rattling'tb ? candles" beaido them Uko * small pack of exUliery. "I thought you bad perhaps forgotten that I am the .housekeeper here," said Nancy. Tho children turned as wuij eden! as the rainbow ; Moses, who was constitu tional neivu?s, got behind his stepiuoth er ; Simeon edged a little nearer to tho poker ; Marion swallowed her last morsel of cake with so much precipitation aa to nearly choke herself; Adeline began to sob and snivel under her breath. "Mrs. Blidgefield," said tho irate far mer, "will you be so good as to explain vnure^lf ?" "Ob, certainly!" said the late M?BB Nancy Bloom. "As long as I am mis tress hero I intend to consult my own inclinations. I shall undertako to give you good food, and to keep yourself and your children comfortably clothed, but I shall choose my own method of doing it." "Madam," said Mr. Blidgefield, loos ening the folds of his cravat, a* if there came au apoplectic pressure there, "you will obey me, or you will leave my house !" "Oh, no; I guess not!" Haid Nancy, serenely. "It's my house now. You put it in my name, the day after we were mar ried to escapo taxation. Hut you were mistaken then. I intend to pay the tax es regularly Ou it myself. It is no part of my policy to evado my just debtu. And I've money enough, saved from school teaching, to run thc farm very nicely, with the help of Leroy and George." "They shan't stay here !" shouted Mr. Blidgefield, tho veins starting out on his templen like ragged a whip cord. "Of course they nro at liberty to take their own choice about that," said Nan cy, calmly. "I'll stay with yon, stepmother," naid George and Leroy, in one breath of chiv alric eagerness. "So'll I !" squeaked Simeon. And the three girls clung, with anser vations of thc fondest affection, around Nancy. Mr. Blidgefioid eyed tho tablean with impotent rage. Sirs Blidgefield smiled superior. "Now, Ben," said she, in the coaxing , tono with which one cajoles a little child, "don't be a fool ! You know, perfectly well that you aro in tho minority. If you choose to sloy hero and conduct yourself as a decent Christian man should, I'll do my very best to make your homo pleasant. If not-" "Well?" shouted Mr. Blidgefield, still tugging at his cravat folds. "Well, madam, and what tuon?" "Why, then," bald Nancy, composedly, you can go about your business." Mr. Blidgefield remained to contest the matter no longer. Ho strode out of tho house, banging the door behind him, by way of parting benediction. "I'll consult a lawyer," said he, "I'll get a divorce. I never, never was so treated before in the whole course of my life !" Ho consulted a lawyer, but the verdict was not favorably to bis side of tho mat ter. He remained outside of the fortress for a week, vainly hoping that Mrs. Blidgefield and the garrison would capi tulate. But they didn't. And then ho lower ed bis own colors. Nancy had been too much for him. But Bhe never twitted bim with his lack of success. Sbo only smiled a gra cious welcome. "And I must confess," he afterward added, "that I never was so comfortable afore us Nancy makes me." Tko children-poor souls I-said tho samo thing. Their stepmother had brought a new sunshine in the dreary old farm house. She had even civilized their father, in somo degree. And tho neighbors all wondered bow it was that Nancy Bloom got along BO nicely with that old crab of a husband of hers. A Woman Tells Her Husband About n New Society, "We're bound to bo equal to you men, ? said the Mason's wife ; "we formed a Be eret society of our own last night." "Indeed ?" said tho worshipful master, composedly ; "then I hope, my dear, your project will bo successful. Is it a benevolent society or what?" "That's none of your business. It's a aecret society, and wo have sworn by soi* emn oath not to divulge anylhiug rela ting to lt." "Very good, my dear," observed the worshipful master, returning to his paper ; "I'm aure I do not wish you to violate your oath." "It wouldn't matter if you did, I wouldn't. You keep your secrets close enough-and to think of that stupid Mrs. Furbelow ! She could recollect neither the grip nor the sign. It took na an hour to teach her.

Au old man who had for year? done much for tho cause of temperance, was found lying by tho roadside tho other day in a atato of intoxication. He was drawn up before a committee of the so ciety and naked to ahow cause why he should not bo expelled. "I acknowledge that I was drunk, brethren, and I've got a mighty good reason tor it." "Family trouble?" asked the chairman of the committee. "No, sir, for I've had no trouble. It was pride." "Trido !" exclaimed the chairman. "Yes, pride. As I went along to town I met a drunken fellow, and I began to think well of myself because I had never been drunk. Pretty soon I began to feel proud of it. A littlo further on I met an ordinary looklo* feller un' would not ?peak to him. My neck got so slid' with my pride that I wouldn't even nod to people. I reflected that my pride was wicked, and I tried and tried, but Could not throw it off. I tried to pray, hut wa?, a little too proud to pray with fervor. 'Thia won't do,' I mused. 'I am getting to be a regular Pharisee.' After walkin' round awhile I met un old negro au' asked : '"Unelo, eau you tell mo how lo throw off my pride?' " 'Hat I ken, sah ; dat I ken.' "'Well, I wish you would, for to con tinue iu this proud way will he danger ous to my soul.' " 'Wall, dar's one thing dat neuer fails ter knock down a man's pride, bosh, an' dat is whisky. Get drunk, an' when yer gets sober yer'll feel mightily 'tn i Hated.' "I acted on this suggestion, an' gol as drunk ns a-well, as au owl, though I never saw an owl drunk. When I got sober 1 was thc must humiliated man in the world."-Arkantaw Traveler. Forest Preservation. Senator Sherman's hill for the preser vation of tho woods and forests of the notional domain adjacent to the sources of navigable rivers and their affluents is a measure which deserves the most favora ble consideration. Whether the amount of rainfall io a country in affected by tbe extent and distribution of its woodlands is a disputed question ; but there is a practically unanimous agreement that the existence of exten sive woodlands around ibo sources of streams tend to equalize their flow, while their absence conduces to sudden floods after every considerable rain and to a very low stage of water during periods of drouth. The effects of the forest aro to prevent evaporation and to furnish a leafy carpet which absorbs a great amount of moisture, causing it to porcolato slowly through the soil below and feed the springs instead of flowing rapidly off iu muddy rills aud rivulets to swell the creeks and rivers. In the State of New York there is at present an enrnest agitation in favor of purchasing extensivo tracts of forest in tho Adirondeck Mountains with a view to protecting the aources of tho Hudson and Eric Canal. The very lauds which it is now proposed that the State shall buy at a cost of several million dollars, and which it apparently will have to buy in order to protect ita navigable waters, were formerly sold by it to individuals for a few cent? per acre. Tho bill of Mr. Sherman to withhold from sale tho for est lands around the sources of our West err rivera will, if adopted, preserve our National Government from a similar un business like proceeding. In Ills Element. They met on the crowded avenue in front of the city hall. One waa a young mao of about twenty-two, tho other a mau about aixty years old. One Uvea in tho northern part of tho State, tho other in the southern. Fate had brought them together. There waa nothing cordial in the meeting. They didn't cry out "Put it thar !" and pump-bandle each other like a couple of old friends. On the contrary, the young mau grew red in the face and breathed hard and Btammorred out: "Tat; years agu I went to school to you !" : "Yes, you did 1" was the calm reply. "And one day you licked me almost to death for an offence committed by anoth er boy !" "Well, you were always in need of a licking." "And I swore," continued thc young man, "aye, I registered a vow, :hat if ever I met you after I had grown up I would have my revenge ! Prepare to be pounded to a lifeless masa I" "I'm prepared," replied the old school master, aa ho apit on hia bands, and in a minute the fun was raging. The young man rushed upon bim with a war-whoop, but his nose struck some thing and he fell down. He got up and rushed again, and thia time he was flung down, rolled over, stepped on and left with a number of loose teeth and a spitting headache. The police took him in, but when they came to bunt for the old man he was across the street trying to pio up a reut In his coat and saying to some of bis frienda : "Ah I it brings back all the memories of the old red school-house to get my hands on an ournly pupil in the first reader class again ?"
