AN ECCENTRIC GIRL. On a rapid little stream in an upper county of Arkansaw, is situated Ashbu? ry .Mills. The surrounding country i9 strangely like some old picture you nave seen, and the mill, with its tall gables and great wheel, standing out in courage? ous, not to say bold, relief, is so conven? tional," and in such tuneful keeping with old mills you have read about, that in passing along the winding road, you would stop more than once to look at so quaint a grouping of objects. Why the place was called Ashbury Mills, and why mills at all, since there-is only one, is something which none ol the neighbors and certainly no grammarian can ex? plain. Old Tobe Potter owns the mills ?we shall conform to the neighborhood custom and use the plural?and so far as any one knows, nobody named Ashbury has ever been in the least identified with the institution, and in fact, when old Tobe is asked concerning the origin of the name, he hesitates in characteristic perplexity and replies "Blame 'fi know." Tobe's daughter, Gralda, was the hand Eomest girl irr the entire country. She was handsome^ not because she tried to be so, but because she couldn't help it. When the old man became afflicted with corpulency and laziness, mainly the lat? ter, Gralda took charge of the mills. She was a thorough business girl, and was so lenient to customers that once when Alf Galluns complained that she handled the toll measure with a reckless? ness leaning a trifle too much in favor of the mills, she-politely told the old fellow that if he did not like" the methods she had adopted ... he; administration, he could take his favors to some other place. Nearly every young man in the country was in love with the girl, but the songs of their wooing, were hot music to her. She often declared that she did not in? tend to marry, and many an injured heart, beating under home-made linsey shirts, believed the terrible declaration. Simon Webliforce, a good-looking young fellow and the acknowledged wit of the community, did not escape the thrall dorn of Gralda's power. She had smiled at him, he though t. What more could he ask of a girl to whom he had n'ot made known his feelings ? He finished laying by corn one evening in June, and, v.fter shaving himself and brushing up his clothes, a suit of .extra warp jeans . that he had not worn since the last "pro? tracted meetinV' he mounted his high headed horse, the one he "swapped from" - Nath Patterson, and went over to the mills. He found Gralda, dressed in a kind of a meal-bag costume, high in the neck and loDg in the sleeves, attending to her duties. Old Tobe, her father, sat in an easy chair, fishing from the back dOOr. * *t? 5 i s ?'.?-: -v; ? "How-aro^yott, Srmon ?" said the girl. "JnBt in-time to help me up with this sack."' "Al'era in time when you are handlin' anything good to eat," replied the wit of the community. ; "Yes," said the old man,, baiting his hook, "an' you are all'us aroun' when the bus'ness of put tin' it away is goin' on." Then they all laughed, and the girl, Simon thought, smiled at him. ? "Miss Gralda, if you ain't ^ery busy, I'd like to talk to you over here by the window." The girl brushed the meal from her hands and followed Simon to the win? dow." ' "I laid by co'ri to-day." "Did you?" "Yes, an' the bottom fiel', pap 'lows, will knock, the spots offen any piece o' co'n in this country." "Tour father generally knows what he is talking about." "Don't he, though? What else do you reckin he said ? 'Simon,' says he, 'al? that co'n's your'n.' That's what he said. Now, thar ain't nuthio' stingy 'bout me, an', when pap tole me that, I 'lowed to myself, banged ef I don't git somebody to sheer all this here extra va gantness, an' now, without further at temptiu' to thrash ?le Satan 'round the stump, I want you to be my wife. Don't say no, fur I'd do as much fur you any time. You couldn't ask no favor o' mo I' wouldn't grant immegiately." ; "I'd like to accommodate you," the girl replied, "but I've decided never to marry unless I can find a man that I can love." "You don't mean to say that you don't love me?" VTfeSt's what I mean." ^ ^'He's a sucker!" exclaimed the old man, reaching from the door. ? "I'm no more o' a sucker than you air," angrily vociferated Simon. "Who called you a sucker?" "You did." "Didn't. Was a talkiu' 'bout this fish, but ef you ain't got no mo' sense than to think you look enough like a sucker to be mistook for one, all right, an' cut your capers," and the old man threw out his line and resumed his fishing. "I love you mighty hard, Gralda, an' I don't see how you can refuse me." "You can't Ree, because love is blind, you know. Not being blinded, as you are7l can see.". "Who woulder thought any livin' wo? man woulder refused to marry me. You sartainly kain't be in your right mind." "No matter about the condition of my mind. It is my own, regardless of con? ditions." Without replying, the young man went away, and the girl, not in the least dis? turbed, went about her work. It began to look as if the girl really did not intend to marry, for every suitor was rejected with indifference. "Whenever I fall in love, father, I will tell you," she said; "I hardly think this is likely though, for I have seen nearly all the men in the county, and I reckin men in other counties are about the same," " One day a young fellow named Lige Blakemore went to the mills. Every? where Lige put in an appearance, he im? mediately secured the pastry for homeli? ness, and the beauty of his ugliness was the fact that he was.proud of it. When Lige entered the mill Gralda was pour? ing corn into the hopper. The old man was asleep. "Why didn't you bring your turn yes? terday when we had more water V asked the girl. "Wall, why didn't you keep the water till I got here?" "You must think that you are a very important character with your big nose and catfish mouth ?" "Yas, an' you must think you are a little Gineral Jackson wrapped up in rose leaves, but you ain't, lemme tell you." "Well, help up here with the corn ?" "You must be a blame fool, gal, to think that I'm goin' (er pay you ter let me grind the corn. Why don't you wake up the old man ?" "He is tired." "So is a goat." "Ain't you going to help me?" "No, blame 'fi do. Here, old lummux, flop up an' help the gal." "Who you talkin' to?" exclaimed the old man, arising with difficulty. "You, of course. Help up with the co'n an' don't shirk," and taking down a fishing rod, Mr. Blakemore sauntered away. At evening, while the girl was closing the mill, she turned to her father and said: "Pap, I'm in love." "Who's the feller?" "Lige Blakemore." "W'y he's as ugly as sin, an' he ain't got no sen< e." "Can't help it. I love him." j "Does he know it ?" "No, but you must tell him." j "The dickens!" 1 "Not the dickens, but Lige." The. old man knew that a protest, no matter how vigorous, would avail noth? ing, and the next day he went over to Elakemore's. Lige was just making ar? rangements to go out on a camp-bunt. Old Potter called him off to one side, al? though there was no one else within hearing, and said : "It's mighty ticklish business that I'm od to day, Lige. My darter loves you an' sent me over to tell you." "Haven't got time to tbiok about it now, ole man. Jes' tell the gal to keep quiet till I get back. Good day," and he was gone. Three weeks afterward he called at the mills. Gralda met him and conducted him to the little window where she had rejected so many suitors. "Lige, father told yon, didn't he ?" "Yes." "Well, I couldn't help it, Lige. I knew that if some one didn't tell you, you would never know it, and I couldn't think of going through life without you. Don't you think that you can love me just a little ?" Tears were running down his rough cheeks. Putting his arm around her and drawing her to him, said : "Angel, I have loved you fur ten years."?Arkansaw Traveler. Etipuette for Men. Don't wear clothes that attract atten? tion, either from their being too much out of the fashion or too much in it. Notice the prevailing style of hats, clothes and shoes and see that yours accord with it A gentleman is well dressed when there is nothing noticeable about his attire. Don't wear business clothes to an after? noon reception or a dinner in the even? ing. Always put on a black coat for afternoon and wear a dress suit for din? ner and at evening. Don't wear a white tie with anything but a dress suit, and don't wear at any time a gaudy cravat. One of dark or low-toned colors id generally preferaole. Bich white Lord Stanley cravats can be worn with a dark Prince Albert or cut away coat in Spring or Summer. Don't wear a large single diamond in your shirt front at auy time, or diamond studs in any way noticeable for size. Small cat's-eye.studs are sometimes worn With a dress suit, but small plain gold ones are preferred. Don't wear much jewelry, at any time. Don't smoke in the presence of ladies. Always remove your cigar when bowing to a lady, and it is even more polite to throw it away when bo doing. It is even questionable taste for a gentleman to smoke in the street at any time. Don't bow to a lady nntil she has bowed to you. Thia rule, of course, admits of modi* fixation in certain cases of relationship or acquaintance when the lady evidently does not, fiom some cause, recognize the gentleman. Don't shake hands with a lady on your first introduction to her, nor afterwards, unless she first evinces a desire to do so. Don't call on a lady unless you have obtained permission to do so. Don't make your calls or visits too long. Madam Becamier once said that "one honr was all she granted to the most agreeable of men, and that she. could stand nobody longer than that." Don't fail to send in your card on your first call, and in fact it is better to do so always to avoid mistakes, etc. Don't forget to always raise your hat when yon bow to a lady or an elderly gentleman. Don't fail to answer notes, invitations, etc., promptly and don't ever arrive late for a dinner party, and if anything would prevent your attendance at a dinner at which you have promised to be present, notify your host or hostess at the first possible moment. Don't drink to much wine, either at a dinner, evening party or a ball. This rule applies at any time, but especially in society. It is a good plan either for a gentleman to abstain entirely when in society, or to limit himself to a certain small and harmless amount. Don't express yourself ungrammati? cally and don't indulge in slang. Watch yourself most closely in these two particulars. Nothing condemns a gentleman so quickly. Dou't introduce your business affairs into private conversation. "Talking shop" is always objectionable. Don't talk about your grievances. Re? member that the world cares little for you and less for your troubles, and above all don't discuss your personal likes and dislikes. Don't adopt affectations of speech or manner. Especially don't ape the dress, customs, ideas and speech of a foreign country when they are opposed to or different from those of your own. Don't boast about yourself or your ac? complishments if you have any. Don't swear or use strong terms of ex? pression. Don't talk about your wealth or pover? ty, and don't appear extravagant or miserly. Don't make your devotion to any young lady too apparent unless you really have serious intentions. Don't fail to be always polite, and especially so to your elders. Don't neglect your duty as a gentle? man to be always just and courteous and kind. Don't fail, lastly, to always observe the feelings and rights of others, which more than all else marks the true gen? tleman.? N. Y. World. The Final Judgment. The doctrine of a final judgment can be clearly proven only by the Scriptures. The same is true with regard to the doc? trine of the resurrection. The two are intimately and inseparably connected. All that unassisted intellect can discover in regard to the resurrection is very lit? tle. Neither experience nor observation teach us anytbiug on the subject. The sum of the whole that we can learn out | side of the Bible with respect to the resurrection of the dead is, that the doc? trine is beyond the discoveries of reason, but not contrary to reason. No one will deny that God can, if he so determines, ! raise the dead. This is about all that we are able, without the Bible, to conclude respecting the resurrection of the dear1. No events come under our observation which fully corroborate the fact. With respect to a final judgment it is different. The teachings of the Bible on this sub? ject are corroborated by events which take place every day, under our observa? tion. Let it be admitted that man is an immortal being, and that he is accounta? ble for his acts. A few will deny that man is an immortal being, but the num? ber is so few that they need not be re? garded. All men, everywhere, are forced to admit that man is accountable for his acts. No one will claim that any law of God can be violated with impuni? ty. All have an experimental knowledge of this fact. Admit that man is an im? mortal being and that be is accountable for his acts, and a final judgment seems to be a necessity. No one will claim that justice is either fairly or fully ad? ministered in this world. None of the human family deserve anything good. All are guilty, but the ratio of sin and punishment is not strictly observed. The greatest violaters of law are not punished the most severely. This has always been the case. While no tran gressor entirely escapes, the most law abiding frequently suffers more than the greatest outlaws. There must be a court of final resort in which justice is meted out with an even hand, and all wrongs righted. The Bible teaches us that at the last day every member of the human family will be rewarded according to the deeds done in the body, whether good or bad, and to the teaching of the Bible cn this subject, a sense of justice, as it still exists in man's soul, says Amen.?Rev. Robert Jjatham in Yorhville Enquirer. No Explanation. A traveller for a Detroit wholesale grocery house was the other day making a trip between two Northern country towns with a sleigh, when one of the horses was taken sick, and be drew up at a farm house and inquired if he could put the animal out and rest him until he recovered. "You can," replied the woman, "but I want to warn you in advance that I have run away from my husband on two different occasions?once with a drover and once with a map seller." "Well, what of it?" "You'll find out as soon a3 the old man comes up from the slashing ! He'll think you are after me, and there'll be a row." "Oh, I guess I can explain matters to him." "Don't you wait to explain nothing," she continued ; "he'll go for you without a word, and if you can't wallop him he'll give you the worst licking a stran? ger ever got 1" The horse was too ill to go on, and the agent had no recourse but to stay and face the music. He was at the barn, rubbing the animal down, when the old man suddenly showed himself at the door. Waiting just long enough to draw a full breath he made a break for the traveller. The latter dropped his wisps of hay and felt of the farmer's right eye in a way that laid him flat. He got up and came again, but was re? ceived with a stinger on the jaw,'and as he went down the traveller got him by the throat and held him fast. By and by, when he dared let him up a little, he explained: "I was forced to stop here and take care of a sick horse." "Well, that's all right," replied the farmer.. "Let me up and I'll help rub him." He was assisted to his feet and went to work with considerable heart. By and by he went to the house and bad his eye bound up, and when supper was ready he insisted that the traveller should eat with him.. Not a cent would he take when the latter was ready to go, but extending his hand he said : "Stranger, I've licked seven different men who stopped here within the past six months, and it kinder does me good to get knocked under the benches. Next time you come this way stop and give me an hour's lesson. Good-bye to you."?Detroit Free Press. Why the Editor Declined. I bet a man here, not long ago, a bar? rel of flour, to go to the orphan asylum, that we bad a hundred ladies in this town handsomer than Langtry. I was to write them in a Lexington newspaper, and the public was to decide who should pay for the barrel of flour. It was a draw bet. I wrote out a list of an even hundred, with some introductory remarks, and banded it to an editor here. He looked at it and inquired if that was all of my list. I said yes, and to my disgust he said he would not publish that list for $100. I wanted to know why be wouldu't publish it, and he said because he would get killed for it; and he am? plified to the effect that his hide would be as full of thirty-two calibre holes be? fore night as a piece of sheeting iron at an exposition washer cutter. I told him I could certainly see nothing but com? pliment and gentlemanly gallantry in it, and was sure nobody could be offended for having a name to appear in such a connection. "You didn't catch on right," he said; "they are not these that you have got that I am afraid of, but they are those that are left out," and then I tumbled to the racket.?Louisville Courier-Journal. ? "Your father is worth at least half a million," said he to his jealous sweet? heart. "That is true," she murmured. "And yet you doubt my love," he re? plied, in au injured tone. ? "Miss Gimps," said a lady to an? other during a recent call, "why don't you jot? the daughters of temperance ?" 'Cause." "Cause why?" "Why?why I?" was the blushing reply, "I intend joining one of the sons next month." TUTTS PILLS TORPID BOWELS, DISORDERED LIVER, and MALARIA.
