BUTTERCUPS AND CLOVER.
Down on the desk she laid her head,
Tho starting tears concealing,
Down in her heart the ache was there,
The dreary homesick feeling.
Tho little mistress, all alone,
Felt friendless and forsaken.
The daily drudgery of lifo
Had all her courage taken.
"Nobody cares," she whispered low.
She certainly was crying.
She listened to the plaintive breeze
That through the pines came sighing.
She heard a noise, and somo one now
Was through the entry walking
And then was standing by her chair,
Just at her elbow, talking.
."Please, teacher," said a childish voice,
(What was it Jack was saying?)
. *!You looked as though your mother would
Not let yon go out playing.
?"I thought that you was feeling bad
And that you'd like some candy,
- But when I hunted in my bank
There wa'n't a penny handy,
?"And so I went and brought you these,
Just buttercups and clover."
Her tears were falling on the flowers,
But soon the shower was over.
He pointed to the buttercups.
"You see, I play they're money;"
.Then showed her in the clover blooms
How she might And the hooey.
"Dear little Jack!" Some une did care.
She kissed him three times over
The whole room seemed to be in bloom
With, buttercups and clover.

WIGGLESBY'S LOVE.
When a man has lived to the ma
ture age of 40 outside the pale of
matrimony and during the last half
dozen years of that period* has
scarcely looked at a woman, there
is very little hope for him.
Such, at least, was the case with
Hezekiah Wigglesby. Whenever
Wigglesby saw himself in his mir
ror, which happened once a day,
when he shaved himself (not being
vain or a woman, Wigglesby had no
occasion to consult it oftener), he
had a deplorable habit of addressing
congratulatory remarks to his re
flection in^the glass on the fact that
they-he and the shadow-were
"able to get along without the silly
sex," as Wigglesby alliteratively
expressed it. .
I use the term deplorable, and it
certainly is, deeply so, when an oth
erwise sensible man is addicted to
talking to himself in the glass and
trying to deceive himself into the
belief that he is a perfectly happy
and contented old bachelor, when
such a thing is an utter anomaly
and impossibility.
Wigglesby knew at the bottom of
his heart that the life he was lead
ing was unsatisfactory and incom
plete, that his daily self congratula
tions were a hollow mockery and a
faroe, *and one thing more than all
else that caused him to realize this
was an occasional glimpse which
was vouchsafed him of a plump
young widow who had recently
moved into the roomy old farm
house across the way.
For years the place opposite had
been what ie known as "an aban
doned farm," but it had lately come
into the possession of Mrs. Wiltsey,
a substantial and pleasant looking
widow, who, in company with a
younger sister, had moved there
from the city to engage in the fas
cinating and (sometimes) profitable
pursuit of chicken raising.
Until they came Wigglesby's daily
vision had been undisturbed l" the
sight of a woman, save when one
happened to drive by, and in that
case there was no law compelling
Wigglesby to look at her, and he
usually didn't.
Wigglesby attended to himself aft
er a fashion of his own which was
certainly original, though it prob
ably would bother him some to se
cure a patent on it.
He had a way of making a bed,
for instance, so that nobody on earth
except Wigglesby himself could tell
which end was intended for the head
and which the foot, and sometime!:
he couldn't. And when it came to
baking flapjacks, a dish of which he
was very fond, Wigglesby usually
distributed the dough impartially
over the top of the stove, the grid
dle and the floor, so that when he
got through preparing the meal the
kitchen looked as if the battle ot
Bunker Hill had been fought over
again on the spot, with dough for
ammunition.
It was one of those interesting oc
casions - when Wigglesby was
struggling with a refractory batob
of flapjacks, I mean-that he re
ceived his first call from Mrs. Wilt
sey, the plump widow aoross thc
way. He had a griddle full of flap
jacks baked on one side, and he was
making a heroic effort to turn them
over, using a table knife for that pur
pose, so they could bake on the oth
er, when a pleasant face suddenly
appeared in the half opened door- i
way and a musical voice said :
"Excuse me! This is Mr. Wiggles- j
by, I presume?"
The flapjack which Wigglesby was
in the act of turning dropped with a
thud to the floor, and poor Wiggles
by turned all the colors of the rain
bow at once and incoherently stam- |
mered :
"N-n-no -I m-mean yes, I'm
^I-Mr. Wiggs-I should say Wig- !
glesby, and-and"
"And I'm Mrs. Wiltsey, your new i
neighbor, and I can't find my tack
hammer, and T would like to bor- j
row yours a little while if you don't j
mind lending it. But I see I'm inter- j
rupting your work, and-pardon
me, but your flapjacks uro burning. j
Allow me to turn them for you.
won't you; There, now they ure all
right, but you really need a"
"Oh, no! N-no, 3 don't!*'inter
rupted Wigglesby hastily. "Really,
I"
?'Why, yes, you do, Mr. Wiggles
?by," calmly went on the plump
widow. "You need a resillar nan
cake turner! They only cost a ?
cents, and you would hud it ever
much handier than a knife for si
work."
"Gosh, that was a narrow escai
I thought she was going to say a
wife," muttered Wigglesby to hi
self as he dashed out of the room
search of the tack hammer.
"Thank you very much!" BI
Mrs. Wiltsey, with a grateful smi
when Wigglesby returned with t
required article. "It is real kind
you to lend your hammer, and
will be sure to bring it back t
minute I'm through using it."
"You're welcome, I-I'm sure, a:
-and there's no hurry about brin
ing it back," Wigglesby managed
stammer as his fair caller took h
departure with the hammer.
After she was gone Wigglesl
was unaccountably nervous and cl
jected. His bachelor bosom had su
denly become filled with a vagi
unrest, a new, strange longin
Could it be that, after all, there w
something lacking in the life he w.
leading? He wandered restless!
about from room to room, and som
how the big house had never seem<
to him so empty as it did then.
"Next day there came a timid knoc
at the door. Wigglesby's bea
jumped up into his throat, and 1
straightway forgot every word <
the gracious speech he had planne
so carofully.
"Just my luck!" he groaned, ar
then, hastily pulling himself togetl
er, he started for the door, gropin
blindly around in his mind in th
meanwhile for his mislaid speed
Before he reached the doorway h
had found it once more, and a
might yet have been well were :
not for the fact that instead c
bringing back the hammer herse!
Mrs. Wiltsey had sent it by he
younger sister.
When Wigglesby opened the doc
and saw a girl standing there wit
something in her hand extended tc
ward him, the smile on his face sue
denly vanished, and he waved he
away with: "Don't want anythin
today, miss. I never buy from"
"But I don't want you to buy it,
she laughed. "This is your tac!
hammer, and my sister said to tel
you she was ever and ever so mud
obliged for the use of it."
"Er-excuse me, miss!" stammer
ed Wigglesby. "I-I-took you fo
a-one of the confounded-er
should say, female agents, and I
fact is, I-er-oh, Lord, why didn'
your sister come with it herself
Then this wouldn't have happened.5
And with this somewhat lame ant
incoherent conclusion to his at
tempted apology Wigglesby seize<
tho tack hammer and fled, leav?hj.
his astonished caller ?till standing
at the door.
When Maud Maxwell (for such wah
the young woman's name), upon hei
return, laughingly related to hei
sister the particulars of her inter
view with Mr. Wigglesby,she wound
up by saying, "Don't you think he
must be just a trifle cracked, Kit
tie?"
And, with a smile of superior in
telligence, the astute Kittie, other
wise , known as Mrs. Kate Wiltsey,
dryly observed:
"I guess not-that is, no more
cracked than any old bachelor is."
From which it is evident that the
plump widow did not have a very
exalted opinion of a man who pre
ferred to "flock by himself."
But to return to Wigglesby. For
several days after the hammer epi
sode he spent the most of his time
drifting uneasily about his house
and grounds and casting furtive and
frequent glances across the way to
see if perchance his fair neighbor
might be coming to borrow some
thing elso. A woman, he reasoned,
is always losing things, and of
course Mrs. Wiltsey would come
over to borrow again, for where else
could she go except to her nearest
neighbor? So Wigglesby kept on
the qui vive, with his entire collec
tion of farming and household equip
ments in readiness for lending at a
second's notice. But, alas, the
plump widow came neither to bor
row nor to lend, and finally Wig
glesby was in despair. He even be
gan to think seriously of sneaking
across ;he way some dark night and
stealing some of Mrs. Wiltsey's
tools, so she would be compelled to
gome the next day and borrow of
him.
Somehow he felt that he must se
cure another interview and get bet
ter acquainted with her in some way
either by hook or crook, and at the
same time he kept wondering why
it was that he was suddenly taking
such an interest in woman, or at
least in one woman.
The reader has probably guessed
the truth. Wigglesby was in love,
but, being a new experience to him,
ho did not fully recognize the fact.
Ho knew that something ailed him,
but wasn't exactly certain what it
was. He had a general sort of idea,
however, that the society of* the
plump arid pleasing widow across
thu way would be good for his com
plaint, and when au old bacholor
reaches that stage there is some
hope fur bim yet.
For a fortnight Wigglesby waited
in vain for a secoud call from bis
new neighbor, and then it occurred
to him that perhaps she was waiting
fo' him to return her call, or maybo
she didn't consider her borrowing
expedition a call at all ami was wait
ing for him to make; the initial < all
on her. Wigglesby wasn't very well
up in the etiquette governing such
matters, but lie finally decided that
in any case il would bo only neigh
borly to call and let her know that
his services and the resources of his
establishment were at her disposai
at any time she sboulci uarjpen
need them.
So, shaving and dressing himsi
with unusual care, ho betook Iii:
self across the way and was iu t
act of ringing Mrs. Wiltsey's do(
bell when the plump widow hers?
came around the corner of t
wood shed in her working cloth
and with a clucking and protests
pullet under her arm.
"Why, good afternoon, Mr. Wi
glesby!" began she smilingly a]
without tho slightest trace of ei
barrassmont. "I'm so glad you ha
pened to call as you did. Perba
you can tell me how to make th
hen stay on the eggs until they a
hatched. She has been sitting tv
weeks, and now she has taken a n
tion to quit.' This makes tho thii
time I have caught her off the ne
in the past two hours."
"Why-why don't you fasten h<
on?" suggested Wigglesby, with
sudden burst of inspiration.
"Oh, thank you!" exclaimed Mr
Wiltsey. "I thought of doing s
but wasn't sure whether it was rigl
or not. Just hold her a minute, wi
you, while I hunt up a rope to t
her down with."
And the next thing Wiggles!)
knew he was standing there alon
looking very foolish, but happ]
with that balky hen tightly claspe
in both hands, while his hustlin
neighbor had vanished in search c
the requisite cord to secure the fov
to the nest.
She presently returned with :
and offered to relieve Wigglesb}* c
his charge, but Wigglesby sait
"No, it will take at least two pe]
sons to properly anchor that pulle
on the nest, and, seeing that you
sister isn't on hand to render th
necessary assistance, I would just a
soon go along and help as not."
From this it wonk! seem that Wig
glesby was improving very rapidly
"It is very kind cf you, I'm sure,'
said the plunrp widow, favorin
Wigglesby with a grateful smile
which upset him so he came nea
dropir'ng the lien he was holding
He quickly recovered himself, how
ever, and meekly followed his neigh
bor as she led the way to the nest.
"There they are, " exclaimed Mrs
Wiltsey when they reached tho spct
"13 cs fine eggs as were ever laid
and-I just happened to think of i
-I woneler if the number has any
thing to do with her acting as she
dees.' You don't suppose the hei
has counted the eggs and found oui
that there are 13 of them and that is
why she refuses to sit any moro,
do you?"
"Shouldn't wonder," said Wig
glesby. "All females are so plaguy
-I mean all hens aro so supersti
tious, you know."
"Are they? I didn't know it."
"Yes," hastily responded Wig
glesby, congratulating himself on
the fact that Mrs. Wiltsey hadn't
noticed the bad break he came near
making; "but this hen might as well
make up her mind to sit, 13 or no
13. If you will take her a minute, I
think I can fix the nest so she will
have to stay on it."
Mrs. Wiltsey relieved Wigglesby
of his burden, and then he looked
wiso and went on :
"I suppose the surest way would
be to bore two holes in the bottom
of the nest, then stick her legs down
through and tie them fast under thu
nest, but-er"
"Are you sure the eggs wouldn't
fall through;" anxiously inquired
the owner of the hen at this point.
"Er-I was just wondering about
tha? myself. I don't think tying hel
en 1 ht nest is going to work very
well. Wait, and 111 see if I can lind
a box to turn upside down over her.
If 1 can get ono small enough and
then put a weight on it to hold it
down, she's got to sit whether she
lilies to or not."
"Eut I'm afraid I am putting you
to an awful lot of trouble Mr. Wig
glesby ?"
"Not at all-just as soon come
over and-and help you sit a hon
every elay if you want me to; just
as soon as not."
Oh, yes, Mr. Wigglesby was pro
gressing !
He finally found the right sort of
box.; and he and the plump widow
between them got the hen under it
and the box properly anchored
down, and then Wigglesby said he
guessed it was time he was going.
"But," he added thoughtfully,
"I'll-er--come over again tomor
row to help get this hen out and
feed her and put her back on the
nest again. She'll have to bo taken
out and fed once a day, and of
course you can't do it alone."
"But my sister will be home to
morrow. She has only gone away
for the day, and when she gets back
she can help mu if I need any as
sistance."
"Oh, well," said Wigglesby in an
injured tone of voice, "if you prefer
her assistance to mine"
The widow broke in with a gay
little laugh and then suddenly grew
sober.
"All right, you may come again
tomorrow if you wish," shu said
demurely.
A week lalor tho lion (which had
boen foil and wittered daily and en
couraged to stiele to her post by hor

"What tiny, helpless little things
they are! Ono cannot help loving
them !"
"I supli?se not," said Wigglesby
gloomily. "I wish I'd been hatched
instead of born, and then maybe
somebody'll love mc. "

story. A mother, a baby and a nurse
were seated together on the verandc
one morning with a number of othei
guests. The mother was deeply en
grossed in a book. The nurse was
occupied by trying to keep the baby
out of mischief. "No, no; th? baby
mustn't have it," was her staple re
mark, repeated over and over agair
and invariably followed by wails
from the thwarted infant. Present
ly the mother, without lifting hei
eyes from the book, said: "Do lei
him have it, nurse, and at once.
Anything to keep the peace." "But,
ma'am"- bogan the nurse. "Do as
I say," interrupted the mother.
"The baby is to have whatever he
wants." For an instant there was
silence, then shrieks so piercing that
the preceding wails were as nothing
beside them. In accordance with
his mother's orders the baby had
just grasped a bumblebee.-Phila

In Austria and Germany the army
laws against gaming were and still
are very strict. When the duchy of
Baden was occupied by Prussian
troops after their suppressing the
insurrection of 1849, the officers
quartered at Rastadt wero warned
against playing at Baden Baelen.
One summer evening King (then
Prince) Wilhelm strolled into the
gaming rooms and noticed an officer
in civilian's clothes sitting at play.
He had won twice on the red and
was about to pick up his money
when ho caught sight of the pi ince
watching him. Terror stricken, he
sat quiet, not daring to reach out
for his winnings. Tho red turned
up a third and then a fourth time.
As thc maximum was quickly reach
ed tho prince touched the officer on
the shoulder and said gently, "Tako
up your money and go, lest one of
your chiefs should lind you here."
Of course!lie soldier did not re
quire to bo told twice. He got out
immediately. Two days later there
was a roview at Rastadt, during
which Prince Wilhelm sighted tho
culprit and sent for him. '"Lieuten

1 An Interesting Interview Between ti
Two Discoverers in 1839.
e The following is an extract i'roi
a private letter of Professor S. F. I
Morse to the editor of the New Yor
Observer, dated Paris, March S
e 1830:
"You have perhaps heard of th
daguerreotype, so called, from th
discoverer, M. Daguerre. It is on
of the most beautiful discoveries c
1 the age. I don't know if you rc
member some experiments of min
in New Haven many years agc
when I had my painting room nes
to Professor Sillirnan's - exper:
! ments to ascertain if it were poss:
] ble to fix the image of the earner
] obscura. I was able to produce diJ
ferent degrees of shade on pape
dipped into a solution of nitrate c
c I silver by means of different degree
of light, but, finding that light prc
duced dark and dark light, I pre
3 sumed the production of a true ire
1 age to be impractica ole and gave u
the attompt. M. Daguerre has rea!
t ized in the most exquisite manne
1 this idea.
"A few days ago I addressed
note to him requesting, as
stranger, tho favor to sec his result
and inviting him in return to se
t my telegraph. I was politely invite
[ to see them under these circum
stances, for he had determined no
to show them again until tho chan]
hers had passed definitely on th
proposition for the government t
purchase tho secret of the discover;
I and make it public. The day befor
yesterday, the Tth, I called on J\J
Daguerre, at his rooms in tho Die
rama, to see these admirable results
"Thoy are produced on a metalli
surface, the principal pieces abou
? inches by 5, and they resembl
aqua tint engraving, for they are i]
simple chiara oscuro and not in col
ors. But the exquisite min?tenos
of the delineation cannot be con
ceived. No painting or engravinj
ever approached it. For example
in a view up the street a distan
sign would bo perceived, and th
eye could just discern that ther
were lines of letters upon it, but si
minute as not to be read with th
naked eye. By the assistance of ?
powerful lens, which magnified 5
times, applied to the delineation
every letter was clearly and dis
tinctly legible, and so also were th
minutest breaks and lines in th
walls of the building and the pave
ments of the street. The effect o
the lens upon tho picture was in ?
great degree like that of the tele
scope in nature.
"Objects moving are not impress
ed. The boulevard, so constantly
filled with xi moving throng of pe
destrians and carriages, was perfect
ly solitary, except an individua
who was having his boots brushed
His feet were compelled, of course
to be stationary for some time, on
being on the box of the bootblac]
and the other on the ground. Con
sequently his boots and legs ar
well defined, but he is without body
or head, because these were in mo
tion.
"The impressions of interior view
are Rembrandt perfected. One o
the plates is an impression of ;
spider. The spider was not bigge:
than the head of a large pin, but tin
image, magnified by the solar micro
scope to the sizo of the palm of th<
hand, having been impressed on tin
plato and examined through a lens
was further magnified and showec
a minuteness of organization hither
to noi seen to exist.
"You perceive how this discovery
is therefore about to open a new
field of research in tho depths o:
microscopic nature. We are soon tc
see if tho miuute has discovered lim
its. The naturalist is to have a nev>
kingdom to explore as much be
youd tho microscope as the micro
scope is beyond the naked eye.
"But I am near the end of my pa
per, and I have unhappily to give i
melancholy close to my account 01
this ingenious discoveiy. M. Da
guerre appointed yesterday at nooi
to see my telegraph. He came anc
passed more than an hour with me
expressing himself highly gratifi?e
at its operation, but while he was
thus employed the great building ol
the Diorama, with his own house,
all his beautiful works, his valuable
notes and papers, the labors oJ
years of experiment, wore, unknowr
to him, at that moment becoming
tho prey of the flames. His secret,
indeed, is still safe with him, bul
the steps of his progress in the dis
duvery and his valuable researchoi
in science are lost to tho scientific
world. I learn that tho Dioramt
was insured, but to what oxtenl
know not. I am sure all friends
of science and improvement will
mite in expressing the deepest sym
pathy in M. Daguerre's loss and thc
sincere hope that such a liberal sum
will bo awarded him by his govern
ment as shall onable him, in some
degree at least, to recover from his
loss.' '-Boston Transcript.

patent medicine men might use: "I
have been unable to walk without
crutches for many years, but after
using your liniment I ran for office."'
"I lost my eyesight four years ago. I
used a bottle of your eye-wash and I
saw wood."

Ladies Who Suffer
From any corryplaiot peculiar to
their sex-such as Profuse, Pain
ful, Suppressed or Irregular Men
struation, are soon restored to
health by
Bradfield's Female Regulator.
It is a combination of remedial
agents which have been used with
the greatest success for njore than
25 years, ar)d Known to act speci
fically With and on tbe organs of
Menstruation, and
recomrnended for
such complaiQts
OQly. It rjever fails
to give relief and
restore the health
of the suffering
womai). lt should
be takei) by the
girl just budding
irjto womanhood
when Menstrua
tion is Scant, Sup
pressed, Irregular
or Pai of ul. and
all delicate worner; should use it,
as its toole properties bave a WOQ
derful iQfluence io tooing up and
streogtbening the systern by driv
ing through tbe proper channels
all impurities.
UA daughter of one of my customers missed
menstruation from exposure and cold, and OD
arriving at puberty ber health was completely
wrecked, until she was twenty-four years of
age, when upon my recommendation, she used
one bottle of Bradueld'a Female Regulator, oom
sstoring her to health."
