YOURSTRTJLY. BY MRS. M. L. KAYNE. "Amazin Grace," said Mrs. PiUbury, aa 8he sat with her daughter at their afternoon sewing, "bo yew goiu' to piece A nuilt ?" "What fur, mother ?" "Why ain't Mr. Van Vleet been lo see you twice't runnin' lately? He's axed ye, I s'posc, to hov him?" "An! I guv him tho mitten." "Sho ! You wouldn't be half so siily ! Why, he's wuth a dozen ordirary men. You DlOUght go futher and fare wuss." "Jest what I'm goiu' to dew." "Did yew tell hun so?" "No, i writ : now, mother, let mc be ; I ain't a goiu' to marry no man ihet thinks I'm jumpin' et the "chance. I'd a heap rutlier bc an old maid." There was nothing said for some lime ; then the widow asked : "When did yew write, 'Ma/in ?" "A day or HO past." "Where did you git a pen ?" "I boirowed one. Mebbe you'd like to know what I said tew him." "You've guessed rite," said the widow eagerly. "It "ain't nutbin to nobody but us, mother, ?'long es I didn't have him," said tho girl curtly, and no moro was cai?', but tho widow sighed heavily and held her hand to her left side. Amaziu knew that it meant uer heart, for she had been brought up to respect that organ aa au intimidating power. This time sho did not relent, but wonder ed why she could not like that big, good looking Van Vleet well enough to marry bim, for they were poor, poor as that historic church mouse, ami he was well off. Hut they were not mercenary. People called them simple folks; perhaps be cause they lacked education, and believed every thing that was told them. lint they were good ns gold. Tho widow's taco and form, lank and ungainly, were familiar in every sick room. They ren dered unto Ca-sar the thiug* that were Cresr.r';1. They owed no man anything, though they worked carly and lalo lo accon-plish it. They were good to --.very body and everything, aud Amazin Grace -her mother had named lier after tho hymn beginning, "Amazing Grace, how sweet tho sound"-was really pretty, t?o thought big, hulking, shame faced Van Vleet, when ho came a courting her, with his trousers tucked into cowhide boots and a coon-skin cap lied down over bis ears. She was tho only girl he was afraid of, and he wasn't nfraid of her, come ri". ' crown to it. ile was au cooest, decent chap, with fist like a sledge hammer and a heurt like a child's. Ho wanted Amazin Grace, nud he couldn't imagino any reason why he should not havo her. When ho got ber simple little letter of refusal, writton out with infinite difficulty and spelled on a new plan of phonetics, he read it over and over, smoked his cob pipe, read tho letter again, grinned a good bit, then folded it reverently, and put it in tho pocket nearest hlB heart. "That's ail rite, my girl," lie chuckled. A couple of months passed away. One peculiarity of timo is that it treats nil people alike. It does not fly from somo and stand still with others. Jt wan spring at the Van Vleet farm, which was ono mass of apple and cherry blossoms, and it was spring at tho Widow I'jiBbury's lillie lean-to house, without shrub or blossom. The widow looked out of the window and nighed. She had never heard the "Song of the Shirt," but she had sung it alf her life. It was her bread and butter. "Thero's Van Vleet !" she exclaimed, looking up from her lap board. "Well, I declare I What brings him here ?" "P'raps he's comin'to ask yew to hev him, mother," said Amazin Grace, laughing, while a sweet flush of pink stained ncr round cheeks. i "I wish he should 1" said the widow, devoutly ; "I should consider it wus flyin' in the faco of Providence not to roavry such a mas-if he asked me." But Mr. Van Vleet stalked in with a brief "good-day," threw au armful of blossoms into the lop of Amazin (trace, and said : "Pm ready for a weddin'." "Did yon git my letter?" asked the girl. "Yep! It warn't, to say, lorin', hut I took yer meanin'. I've fenced in tho hull north lot, and furbushed tho house up, so yer wouldn't know it, on' I ?calc? late of we kin git married next week, it won't interfere with my Bpring work hey ?" Amazin Grace set back and looked the picture of surprise. The widow thought nbc beard the cat in the pantry and dis creetly withdrew. As the door closed Farmer Van Vleet took two little red hands in his, and bonding forward gave Amazin Grace an awful smack. "That Beals tho bargain," ho said, but the indignant girl jumped up and order ed ? nj out of ibo house. To her aston ishment he didn't budgo a step. "Not much 1 I reckin I've n right to kiss yer now," ho said boldly-then he stepped:io the door and 0811611 loudly: "Mother 1 kum here!" The widow must have been conveni ently near, for she almost foll into the room at bis first word, and he bestowed another Bounding smack on her. "It's all rite,"Tie said, "me an' Amaz in Grace is goin' to be married, and you kin dance nt the weddin'." "But-but tho letter," gasped the girl. You ain't understood s word o? it!" "The faoM?/' said Van Vleet. "I ain't had hu education to speak of; been too busy grubbin' land all my life. I didu't raiy read the letter tc sense it, but when I see how you Big?ed it that was enuff for me.' T knowed you wouldn't hev writ that way to a feller ye weren't goin' to marry. I don!t know much about cals, but I know that 1? When it was all settled that they were to be married the next week, Sunday, Farmer Van Vleet rode off, and the two women put away the lap-board, and re signed; the. uni versal shirt making busi ness forever. "Pd give the world to know what I writ to him," said Amazin' Grace. .. "The world ain't yourn tew give," cor rected her mother, piously. "I'm sart'in sure I told h?m no," said the girl, "but I reckon he was bound to hev met an'I dunno ez I'm half sorry, eUherVnow" When they were married and Amazin Grace and her . mother had gone out to the new home in the smart new spring wagon, the bride returned to the subject of the letter. "I hev a buroin't enr'osity to know what I writ," she said, "cause" (blush ing prettily) "I thought I riflused you." ' """O-ho, I guess not," said the trium phant lover.

His r?giment wa? marching through Louisiana by forced marches ; for it is a solemn matter of fact that the first troops thal went out from Texas were in very much of a hurry because they feared tho war would be over before they reached thc tented field. They were afraid the Virginians would swindle tlum out of their aliare of "'"ry in talcing Washing ton. While the Northern people were talking about a ninety days' war, the Texans thought it hardly worth while to start out, a* the war would hoover before , they could get a chance lo strike a blow. Hut to the story, which is given in the language of thc newspaper man himself: "dust before dark one afternoon, wo passed a comfortable looking farm house, the ow ner o' which was busily engaged with a very anxious expression of coun tenance and n long pole in driving n number of pigs under the house. The impression thal forced itself upon us, on observing this conduct, was thai he thought the pigs would be safer and last longer, as far as bbl selfish wants were concerned, under his immediate super vision than in any place where we could get at them. One of my comrades, w ho was trudging along by my side, Hob Ueaslcy, a proud, iiighslrung, sensitivo fellow, but as honest, nevertheless, as tho day is long, was stung to ibo quick by tho action of tlic fanner; and turning lo nie, Hob said, "That is an insult to our tarred cause and to every honest man in the regiment. Let us resent it. Let us teach this man io respect us. Let' go back there to-night and steal one of his darned old hogs to show him that we won't stand any of his insinuation?.'' I saw that Hob's feelings were hurt by tlie ungenerous conduct of the rustic and endeavored to calm him down, but in vain. His blood was up. I agreed to assist him in wiping out the insult, on condition that I should have out1 half of the pork. We camped a few miles from thc house, and that night, although we were very tired, we cheerfully trudged back to the house, where wc had seen the farmer trying lo steal thc pigs from us. We quietly called a council of war and agreed upon a campaign plan. Il was thought best not to make any un necessary noise, as it might induce ibo fanner lo come out and still further irri tate us. All we really wanted was tho hog. Hob Heasly was to crawl through tho hole under the house and drive thc hogs out, because he was moro familiar with the habits of hogs than I was. I was to assume an offensive posit, JU, with a club, at Hie outside of thc iiole, and as soon as a hog carno out I was to stun him with a blow, after which he was to bo despatched and carried lo camp. Hob crawled in on all-fours and pretty soon I heard a hog scrambling toward thc bolo. I drew back my club ; and just as thc porker came out through thc hole I gave him a tremendous blow. Bob beasley gavo a grunt, for he was tho hog. I had onlv dislocated his shoulder instead of knocking his brains nut. The farmer, it seems, hal added insult to in jury by removing his hogs from under tho house. He tlid not think they were snfe oven there. "Bob expressed himself very forcibly. He used language to which no soldier should use to a comrade. He was evi dently much disappointed at not finding the hogs under thc house. In thc excite ment of the moment I spoke emphatical ly in u low tono of voice of what I thought of the conduct of the farmer. I had a good notion to inform tho colonel of our regiment, and have tho agricultu ralist imprisoned as a traitor. 1 should certainly have denounced his treachery, but I was afraid if I said anything about tho affair our motives for trying to ki 1 thc hog might have been misconstrued. I volunteered to carry Bob Beasley to camp on my back, which was only two or three miles oil'. I would not have volunteered if Beasley had not given me his solemn word of honor that he would assassinate me if I did not carry him cheerfully. When I got to camp I had acquired a permanent curvature of the spine, which is ono of the offerings I cheerfully laid upon the altar of my country. Our de votion to principle waa not appreciated by our comrades who would jeeringly call out'How's your hog?' whenever we passed along the line. From that hour I instinctively felt that the cause of the confederacy was hopeless."-'/krait .S?/Y inga. Agricultural ('recd. II farmers must have a creed, the one adopted by Canada farmers, in conven tion assembled, is good enough. It might bo amended a little, but rather than risk spoiling a good thing, we give il just as we find it going the rounds : "We believe in small farms and thorough cultivation ; we believe that tho soil lives to eat, as well us the owner, and'ought, therefore, to bc well manured ; we believe in going to tho bottom of things, aud, therefore, deep ploughing and enough of it-all tho belter if it ho a subsoil plough; we believe in large crops which leave tho land in better condition than they found it, making both the farm und the farmer rieli ul once; we believe every farm should own a good farmer ; we believe that the fer tilizers of any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise nml intelligence-without these, lime, gypsum and guano would be of little use ; we believe in good fences, good farmhouses, good orchards, and good children enough to gather tho fruit ; we believe in a clean kitchen, a neut wife in it, a clean cupboard, a clean dairy, and a clean conscience : we believe to ask a man's advice is not stooping, but of much benefit; we believe thut to keep a place for everything and everything in ita place saves many a step, ana is pretty sure to lead to good tools, and to keeping them in order; we believe that kindness to Btock, like good shelter, is saving of fodder; we believo that it is a good thing to keep an eye on eypcrimcntB, and note all good and bad ; we beliove that lt is' a good iule to ?ell grain when it is ready; we believe in producing the best butter or cheese and marketing it when it is ready." A Life-Long Debauch. "No, I'm? obliged to you, I don't drink," replied Judge Gibbons, of Lan caster, in the bar room of the Girard House. "I- am G3 years old and have never used tobacco in any form, never have tasted malt or spirituous liquors, never have been at a horse raco or at tended a circus or a theatre." "Yours has been an exemplary life, Judge," replied tho Tana man. "Well, I don't know that it has," con tinued the Judge, sadly. "I am, after all, no better than other men ; for the past forty-eight years I have been the abject slave to ono ungovernable appe tite. This indulgence has gained such absolute control of me that I can uot exist four or five hoars without gratify ing it., il resolve and re-resol ve to break it off, but I am weak-and finally yield. I can not go half a day without it. No, I daren't travel, where I can't obtain it. It is killing me. Twenty years ago I weighed 220.pounds. Now I weigh 120. It. is destroying my life, slowly but sure ly. I shall die of it." "What form does, this deadly dissipa ti on take?" asked the reporter, in amaze ment, prepared for an appalling con fession. . . ? "Mush and milk." was the solemn and humiliating rejoinder. - "But can h ny ono who has noter reached man's 'estate feel the blighting agony of an error that the victim must understand alone ?" asks a modern phi* loHopher, Nc^ .respected, slr ; no person but tho man Who bursts his suspender button iv n crowded drawing-room can do that. .1 cT>I Tho Nigger und Ills Dogs. I was stopping at Iho house of a young planter, who owned n very fine hound, hut ns he was not a hunter he liad no affection for lus hound, which was over fond of spending his time in the woods', instead of remaining al home to pieuse his master. All old darke;, on the plan tation owned four cur dogs, mut the young planter, thinking he would be | ociiei pleated ??iii a big, huh lulled "yaller ' dog than he wa? with bi- line hound, decided to go down lo "I'ncle" Henry's cabin and make a trade, being fully convinced thal "Uncle" Henry, win? was quito a bunter, would jump at the chance of getting a genuine hunting dog : for one of his curs.

Why, Mar's Hilly, he's my main coon dog." "Hut Lucie Henry," said he, "you have three others, besides this hound of mino will make a better hunting dog than either of your four." 1'oinling to one of the others ho said, "We!!, I will trade for that oil?.'." "I couldn't think of letting thal one! go, 'cause be's my main 'pov-utn dog and j besides he's got such a freuly sort id' way wid him, I sorter feel like he's Mime kn: tons, lie ole woman miar would tplit I calling me all ?orter hard names if I let dal <l??g go ont ob de family."
