Michry, it's juist like a narran cloot thrown roond yer neck. Come 'ere, an' I'll sort it for yo." Dick smiled affectionately, took a step toward Mag, placed his arms akimbo and held up his head. "There noo," said Mag after hav ing taken off his tie and readjusted it a la mode. "Got yer wark a' done, Maggie?" "Ouy aye-lang sine." "Lat's tak' a walk." Mag ran into the house to "snode" herself up a bit. and Bick walked up and down in front humming "We're a' John Tamsan's Bairns. When Mag emerged, a tartan shawl was thrown over her shoulders, and a small bonnet adorned her head. Her cheeks were ruddy as the rose, j and her hazel eyes sparkled with the happiness she felt. "Whaurtl we gae, Dick?" she asked, looking him in the face. I"Whaur dae ye think?" asked Dick, returning the look with com pound interest. i "Ony whaur ye like, Dick." H 1 think we'll gae doon by the H bum an' alang by the trees, whaur H we used tao gae, Maggie, ye ken." fl It was a delightful evening in the Hfall of the year, and Dick Lang was Hnever happier in his life, with Mag Igie Wotherspoon, the prettiest girl ?in thc village, by his side. But Mag Hwas a saucy girl at times, for she ?knew her charms, as every pretty ?girl docs, and when she was in the Bmood 6he loved to tease those whose H&dnriration or affections she had H^on. Nearly every young man in ?O&e village had made advances to ?per, and with ono exception she had ?turned them all against her on ac ?count of her saucy, coquettish ways, iBj'hich the young men failed io un derstand, and invariably sent them Hfff in a huff. The one exception Bras Bick Lang, whose love for Mag ?as a passion. He had begun by Bv*ng her at a distance and grad B"% getting nearer. At first she Boated him with indifference and Ba his presence had always seemed ?o think more of some one else than I Bob Spalding was a strapping ?oiing fellow and to all appearances Bade the most progress in his ad Bances. Of course, Mag had as Buch as denied that there was any Bang between her and B ,b, but she Bas so full of fun at times that in Bder to believe implicitly all she Bia it was necessary to have it in BJjck and white. . The fear that B?b would carry off Mag made Dick B1 the more anxious to win her be Bre it was too late,^ And thc oppor B^ty he was now given waa all i ^ s Bjt 'he wanted. It waa a ooxxnnon { Bpag about the village that Dick ; ?v, rather long headed and knew j fl^oed thing when he saw it. He i B^<a3itt*e of human nature, and i ff**** all Mag's nonsense he could . Bccni a true and warm heart. At | B^venta, Dick was determined to i BJ^erif ho could. W?*y r^ad walked nearly a milo 1 Bhout saying much beyond talk- ! ?g about the weather, for Dick tra? trying~to~get courage at t?i?^sams time to say it. When they reached a clump ol trees uot far lrom the burn, Mag suggested that they sit down, remarking that they had had a big washing at the house, and she felt a little tired. "I micht a thocht o' that afore, Maggie, if ye'd only telt me," 6aid Dick repentantly, "but lat's sit doon noo." "It's a foo' moon the nicht, isn't it, Dick?" asked Mag, looking up into space. "What did ye say, Maggie?" "I asked ye if it was tae be a foo' moon. Mau, wliar's vcr lugs?" "Oh-ah-I'm tlimkin' it is." Then Dick stroked his chin and tore up the sod with his heels. "It's : a fine thing, a moon, Maggie, isn't ; it ?" Dick at last found "words to : say, in order to break the monotony I and gain time, but without being ? able io explain why he had said so. j "Uno is't a gude thing?" ;.sked ! Mag, looking at him with thc tails ' of her eyes. "Wool-a-1-I've hcerd it said j -a-that tiie moon, ye ken, waa a ; gudo thing for a-kirnin* milk an' preservin" cheese," Dick said, look ing very guilty, not by any means satisfied in Iiis own mind that he had answered the question in the right way or had fully comprehend ed it, his thoughts at the moment being in an entirely dilTcrent direc tion. There was a merry laugh in i Mag's eyes, but she restrained its ! vocal expression. She merely shook j for a moment with the emotion and j tJien tried to appear serious. I "Maggie," said Dick at length, ! still digging up the earth with Iiis i heel, "yer no engaged, are ye, tae onvbodv?" "Engaged ? Michty." "Wed-I was juist spcerin', yo ken" "An' what mak's ye speer a ques tion like that, Dick ?" ; "Wed-tao tell ye the honest God's truth, Maggie, I want tae be j engaged tae ve mesei'." "Dick Lang!" "Aye, 'at's me that's speakin', Maggie, an' nae ither. Mag, lassie, if ye only kent boo muckle I loo ye. I hap na had a nicht's sleep thinkin' aboot ye for the last fornicht." "That's no muckle." "But that's no' a', Maggie. I was thinkin' aboot Bob Spaldin'. It was the thocht o' him takin' ye frae me. That was it, lassie-that was it. I've been thinkin' aboot ye for years." Mag looked across the fields at the red ball of fire that formed a great semicircle on top of a purple hill that bounded the far side of the distant glen. "Will ye hac me, Maggie ?" asked Dick imploringly. "No, I winna," came promptly from her lips. "Ye winna? Oh, Maggie, think again, for an answer like that gaes hame like the stab o' a knife. Is't possible that ye dinna ken I've nev er looed onybody but yersel'? I've hed nae heart tae gie tae onybody sin' I kent ye years lang gane by. I'm no sae gude lookin' as Bob Spaldin', an' I dinna carry my haid sae high, an' maybe that stands i' my wi noo. But, Maggie, I've a heart here that's yers as though it had never belanged tao me. Whan my granny dees, I get 'er higgin, 'er coo an' a' 'er chattels-that's in 'er will, Maggie. The hooB wad be oor ain, an' prood wad I be tae mak* ye its queen. But abune a' that, Maggie, I loo ye sairly, an* I'll nev er loo anither". Think again afore ye answer me. Will ye hae rne> Maggie?" Dick took Mag's hand in his, and she pressed it. She said nothing, but simply smiled. Her silence was acceptance. Tho Shoo on try? Other Foot. A manufacturer who is said to be very disagreeable with his employees tells a good story about himself, which the Philadelphia Telegraph repeats : A Quaker who had just arrived from England called on him to ask for work. "Haveyou any recommendation?" asked the merchant. "No," ; ?plied the man, "but I have friends who will give me one." He put his bundle on the floor and left. In the course of an hour he returned, took up his bundle and was leaving the office without a word. "Didn't yon get your character?" asked the merchant. Without halting a moment or raising his eyes the man answered, r"Nay, master, but I got thine." CASTOR IA Pox Infants and Children.

BRAVE BOY DIVERS. They Go Down After Pearl Sheila Without Any Artificial Aid. Away out iii tho south Pacific ocean where white men rarely are seen there lies a littlo coral atoll known as Hikueru atoll, says tho Ttttoma Ledger. It is different from most coral atolls of winch you read in your geography, for it is a solid ring of coral, and tho lagoon inside of it can be entered only by drag ging boats over the beach. This lagoon is one of the valuable pearl shell lagoons and is sought every year by the dwellers on Ta hiti and other islands of the south seas to lish for pearl. The French government, which owns the atoll, has forbidden the uso of diving suits, because it ia feared that this method would prove too destructive to the pearl shells; so the diving is done in the ancient south sea way by men and boys and women who go clown with, no artifi cial help. Most of the diving is done in wa ter from sixty to seventy feet deep. The sea is so clear in the atoll that the diver can study the bottom per fectly with a water glass and locate the best clumps of shell before he dives. When he is ready to go down, he slips into the water over the side of the boat, and, holding to the gun wale with one hand, he looks down ward through the water glass. The moment he sights a good lot of ? shells he begins to breathe deeply, j sucking the air in until his chest is j inilated as far as it can be, and then j exhaling it slowly through the ; mouth so that it makes a whistling I sound. Having thus cleaned out his ! lungs, he takes a long breath, fill ! ing his chest with perfectly pure j air, and then he lets go of the gun ; wale instantly and sinks below the I surface feet foremost, j On touching bottom he hauls him j self along by Bcizing clumps of cor ! al until he reaches the shells. Then j he breaks them off the reef with his . right hand, which is protected by ! white cotton cloth. Quickly ho puts j the shells into a little net of cocoa ! nut fiber which he carries over his j shoulder. Then he stands erect, and immediately he shoots toward ! the surface as if he were pulled by. a i rope. So swiftly does he ascend that ho frequently seems to leap out of the water when he reaches the sur face. Longfellow the Universal Poet. Among the many interesting sto ries Avhich Mr. Higginson collected in his "Life of Longfellow" tiiere is one that puts the wide spread of the poet's fame in a very dramatic way. A party of passengers on a steamer from Constantinople to Marseilles fall to talking about Victor Hugo. A Russian lady exclaims that it is not Hugo, but Longfellow, who is the universal poet, and she recites "I stood on the bridge at midnight,' an English soldier recites "Tell me not in mournful numbers," a Scotch man follows with "There is no flock, however watched and tended," an American recites "My Lost Youth," a young Greek sings "Start* of the Summer Night," and the captain winds up with "Excelsior." This is. curiously like the poet's own "Tales of a Waysido Inn. -London? Spec tator. * Three Women. Josephine was thirty-three when she married Napoleon, and, judging from the letters written by the ab sent husband during the early years of their union, she inspired the re doubtable soldier with most intense love and jealousy. It is claimed by many writers that she was the only woman Napoleon ever really loved. Cleopatra was nearer forty than thirty when Mark Antony fell be neath her spell, and the most beau tiful woman the world has ever known, Helen of Troy, waa long past thirty when the Trojan heroes fought their faioous battles for her sake. _ Bualneac Enterprise.

Mr. Barry Pain in his book, "Do Omnibus/* tolls tlic following amus ing story: "One dye/* paid tho-conductor-of the omnibus, "a chap gave me a small furrin coin, 'avin' thc look o' silver, which it weren't, and not on like ?lie onery sixpence.

During the American war of in dependence it was considered politic for England to be on terms of f riendship with the North American Indians. Large and Irndsome med als were therefore struck for presen tation to the chiefs or great men cf the tribes who had rendored good service to George III.

ALL THE DIFFERENCE Irate Papa Reads One of His Truthful Letter? and Relente. It was a serious moment in thc family. Uelcu-Jennings wasiiutears and tried to.speak, but her father stopped'her with a sad gesture Mrs. Jennings wiped her glasses and\pre pared to read a letter Unit sba had ju6t found in Helens pocket. To think^that their Helen, who had but recently celebrated her seventeenth birthday; their Helen, who was so sweet and good and-straightforward, should have a letter like this! Mrs. Jennings read in a. trembling 1 voice : "Angel of my exist a nee" "What!" exclaimed Mr. Jennings. "What sensible man would dream of addressing a young girl in thal idi otic manner? But go on, my dear.'' "Existence spelled with "an 'a,' too,"' saiil Mrs. Jennings. "Really, the idioi can't even spell!" exclaimed the justly indig nant father, ''lint let us bear tho next." '"lt is impossible for nie to de scribe the joy with which your pres ence has Ulled me." "What does he try to describe it for, then, the ignoramus? But don't let me interrupt you," groaned Mr. Jennings. "1 think ol' you constantly, and ? bitterly ^condemn your father, the obstinate, unfeeling, purse proud old party, who will, no doubt, withhold bis consent to our union.'' "Old party! Obstinate, unfeel ing, purse proud! And 1 have been the kindest of fathers. When 1 .-ce this young man, 1 will-the man that could pen those words-btit go on, my dear." "Theodore, there is some mistake. I did not. see this overleaf till now," murmured Mrs. Jennings softly. "Eh? Let me see. Hem!" "Yours, with all the love of my heart. Theodore." "Why, bless my soul, it's one of my own letters!" "Yes, papa," said Helen, drying her. tears and taking advantage of the pause that at last gave ber an opportunity to speak. "I found it in one of the trunks just now, and I was going to explain, only you would not let me say a word."-Tit Bits. Faith and Works. A Presbyterian minister in Scot land once got into a debate with a boatman while crossing a river about faith mid works, his position being that faith without works was enough. "Na, na," retorted the boatman with much seriousness; "failli without works'll no' do. I'll gio you an instance. We'll ca' this oar'.faith' and this ithcr oar 'works/ Very well, tak' 'faith' first." And while rowing with it alone the boat went round and round. "Now," Bakl tho boatman, "lofs tak* 'works' next." And, rowing with it alone, tho boat went round the other way. "We will noe/* continued the boatman, "tak* 'faith* and 'works' thegither. Noo," exclaimed he tri umphantly as he rowed with both oars at tho same time, "we can get ower the water, and this is tlie only way that we can get ower the trou bled ocean o' the wari' tao the peace ful ?hores o' immortality." Goldsmith and Johnson. When Americans make pilgrim age in the precincts of Fleet street, they generally have a look at "Gold smith's house," as it is sometimes called, in Wine Office Court. It seems to have been in the year 17G0 that he moved to these "superior lodg ings" at 6 Wine Office Court. He had been writing for John Newber ry, and here he lodged with one of Newberry*8 relatives, who perhaps kept an eye on his errant industry. As we may read in the "Dictionary, of National Biography," Johnson supped at Goldsmith's lodgings on May al, 1761. He had heard that Goldsmith had que tod him as a ''precedent for slovenly habits," and so he came to the supper "dressed .with scrupulous neatness." An Admiral's Wit. When Lord High Admiral the Duke of Clarence, afterward Wil liam IV. of England, went down to Portsmouth to inspect the naval es tablishment, the first person he met was his jolly old messmate and friend, Captain Jack Towers. The iirincc toole him by the hand and aughingly said, "Why, Jack, my boy, they tell me you arc the great est blackguard in all Portsmouth!" "Oh," quoth Towers, "I hope your royal highness has not come down here to deprive me of my character." A Difference. At a banquet in Ottawa a speaker was groetea with considerable ap plause.
