ONE MOONLIGHT NIGHT. ISY JAiMES Fi NKLIN FITTrS. The apple-orchards of Mr. Peck and MIr. Norris were adjacent to each other. Each' comprised about thirty neres; and the fruit iaised in them was not excelled in the country. These orc'hards, in fact, were models of pomolo,-y, and people imterei-ed. in that pursuit cam.e fronm considerable distancas to inspect them. T1hey were alik" as to gepc '"-ppearance and num: eran varieties es. Their owners were alike in nothing, ad resembled each other les in disposition than in anythin.: el-e. This difference w~ll be best illuwtlratel1 by a coin versation that ocu red between them when they met an the road one lelasat Oct'ober day. "I think we are fortunate," said Mir. Peek, "in having so good a yield of fruit when the price is high." "Indeed we are," said MIr Norris. "And if it were not for one thing, i shlould be perfectly satis'.etl with apple-growing, taking an avera-.e of the seaains." "Ah," said MIr. Norris, "what troubles you?" "It is the thieving or the boys about here." Mr. Norris looked amused . "It is a g:-eat outrage," said Mr. Peck, moaking himself angry as he talked. "The little rascals tunderstand per eetly we 11 how I feel about it, for I have tepeatedily re fused to permit them to enter my orchard. even to pick up tee wind-falls. But ti~ey de:y me. I have lost a great deal of sleep sitting up nights and watchin: for thenm with a shot-gun loaded with powder and salt. The impudent stamps!-how I'd like to put a charge into their legs! But :hey're too cuanmg lor me; either I get asleep watchinil, or they come nights when I'm not up. They stcal my apples, break :lown branches, and give me no end of worriment. Sometimes I've thought of sellin2 out on account of them." "They never trouble me at all," said Mr. Norris. "Well, I declare B ow do you man age?" "Very simply, When a boy ec~nes to me for apples I take hima out into my orchard, till his pockets, and send him away as happy as a lord. Mr. Peck elevated his nose, and uttered, a contemptuous exclamation. - !a TAn &Lum~ n mntnna th. otha& 'that he rnav always pick up appIes fiom :'e ground to ea. but that he mutst not limb the trees. In this way I have pre erved iuv or-h:ud from in jury, and kept m1 the ve' b st ot terms with the boys." "-o you llow the young pirates to levy :-ibute on you as tLe price of good con Mr. \orris laughed as he replied. "We look at this matter from very differ ent positions, Mr. Peck. The value of all :e fruit given away in this manner during I seat-on is trirling. and it seems to me a ;ery slight conces-ion to make for peace and emption from damage. I believe most Lads are naturally right-miuded, when you yan really get to their hearts. and I'd rather ave them for my friends thau my enemies -especially in apple time. And then I'm act ashamed to say tnt I used to be a boy aivself, ,.n.1 that I have never quite got Dver it. Yes, I like to see the little fellows bappy; and if a few apples now and then ill make the world brighter to them, cer tainiy I am not the man to refuse." -A11 sentimental stuff, Mr. Norris. My apples are my own property; I don't choose to give them away, and I won't submit any onger to have them stolen. I shall get a savage bull-dog to guard them; and if that wont work. I'll set a spring-gun. "I'm very sorrv you feel so on the sub ject. The law will not jus:ify you in suet extreme measures-surely not in using fire. arms or spiing-guns." "But 111 do it-I l be .anged if I don'C' And Mr. Peek laid his whip emphatically over t.e i-acks of his unoffending horsei and went on. Alr. 'eck was a man whose vindictive feel:ngs would at any time overbalance his juignient. and he now proceeded without delay to fuhill his threats. It is perbapi uueces:.ry to say that this story de-cribe bo' s not as they ought to be. but as thej were in the neizhborhood uhere its scene is located. The apple crop was super abundant :hat fall. and the well-known anc hi-;hly appreciated indulgence of Yr. Nor ris was satiiient to furnish all the frui: tat the juve niles could desire; but because ta Peck" had driven theta harshly nway t they were not sati-fied short of eatin:. i his apples. In the convention held at recess he was unanimously vot- d "a stingy old hunk-. and it was determ ned that his orchard should be robbed. Tie attempt wbmade one dark night so-on after the conv-rs.iti-m: we have de:aiied. A dozen boys of from twelve to nifteen years secretly left their beds, and asembling near \fr. Peck's o--hard. silintly scaled the high wa'l and b g in their foray. It t had harily onmmtwe when a deep growl from the i sta--e warned them of impend in- diai--r. T. e retrcat was hasty. but -u cts-fal; one of the boys suffe-ing a severe bit. in the calf of the leg as he mounte_ thte wall. It may be added that t- saire boy endured some of the pa ns rat mrtyrdoui in the next week, while r-s )ltel; 'k. epuig the k-nowLdge of this - cerrence from his parents. Two days after tmts occurrence Peek's ferociots dog was found dead. -He had ; een ,wisoncd. Thz rage of the owner was unbounded. Ee called at the scLool and emptied the rials o: his wrath: but the master informed aim that the case was c!early one for par mtal diseplive-provided he could find he guilty parties. He then visited every ome that sent a boy to school, and de anded the summary punishment of thatI yov. Mr. Peck was hardly more a favorite with the grown-up people of the neighbor iood than with the boys; but this was a erious matter, and an investigation was nade to find the culprits. It is unneces ary to say that they were no' found. Boye who will do the things that I have de cribed will never hesitate to cover up their racks by lying; and so it was here. Money was flowing into Mr. Peck's lands for the products of his orchard; sc f ong as he felt that a single apple vas 1,einz taken without payment, he was 1 ond to be miserable. His next resort rme a spring-gun, wuich he rigaged up one Lfternnon~ and Sat fi thA nI'how1 A 1antA oise from it that might awoke nun, and' he ushed out. only to find the gun demol shed and useless. It afterward transpired hat the operation of setting it had been atched by some interested parties through Schink in the wall. For one whole week following did MIr. Pek lie in wait each night for the thieves. ad he did not see one of thema. There was t least one old heamd upon .young shoul lers among the offenders, and the word iad been passel round that the orchard nut not be molested again until the pro. yrietor had suflicient time to -cool off.'f hat unhappy proplietor was enraged, dis usted and mystitied.

An open. basque with broad silk revers was worn, being of the striped fabr-c. The vest, which showed beneath, and to which the collar, of the same rnaterial, was attached, was fastened up the front by a row of very small round wooden buttons. Larger buttons, in tended merely for ornament, appared upon the basque itself. A coquettishly arranged drapery, drawing up on either hip, revealed a kilted skirt, and was supplemented by an overlapping back drapery. The dress was an ex ceedingly appropriate and stylish pro duction. Hair Colffure iana. The accompanying illustration fur nishes a pleasing contrast of coifire to the present very prevalent node of arranging the hair in a small braided knot, at the back of the head-a severe and in most cases unbecoming style. The Diana coiffure here represented is especially suited to young faces, and may be d ressel in two ways. Thc back hair is either to be combed o-er to the front-this can be done. where the hair is short-where it. is fastened with a plain comb and the ends arranged with the front locks cut about the length of two fingcrs, in a high toupet. The curls at the nape of the neck, in this arrangement, must be furnished by false hair. When one has a thck, fine growth of hair, the taupet and short front curls may be made entirely of the front hair, and the back strand arranged to fall down in curls. Orna mental pins complete the coiffure. French Morning Cap. The attractive cap for morning and negligee wear, shown in the cut, is made of embroidered muslin. Being trimmed high, it furnishes a Vo/ ery becoming head dress to a low colored ribbon. The large collar seen in the cut matches the embroidery of the cap and affords a pretty finish. The Masceuane Girl. The sad thing about it, says an East ern exchange, is that the girl is mak ing an ass of herself, to use one of her own expressions, and in just this way: "Everything carried to its4 extreme be comes its contrary," says Hegel, and the girl beginning with the masculine costume goes on to please men more and more by adopting their slang and even their freedom of manner. The girl does not see that. Although men are amused by it, they are not made more respectful and courteous thereby.' She only sees that she is a favorite with men,that she always has partners. and escorts and is invited everywhere Men are at their ease with her, but, ye gods and little fishes !there is a mig hty difference between the girl one loafs and smokes with and the girl one pre fers for a wife or a mother. The very fashion that in moderation was charming, in excess is disagree able. The slan.gy, lolling, sprawling men-hunters-and some girls of the period are little more than that-!have spoiled the liberty which it was (1e lghtful to see women acceptng in moderation. There is a libertx that makes us free and a liberty that makes us slaves, and the girls who take liber ties with modesty of speech and man ner, and who cross well over the border into masculine territory, are not more free but more slavish than before. And the approbation of men, which is the end in view, is lost by the very means taken to gain it. There is one young woma, in Boston who has been a belle for two winters. One (lay she remarked to the wrter that now she was obliged to do the marketing: that her mother had always done it, but- at last ma kicked" 'When the writer said .o a friend of that young woman th she would not get married for severai ears unless she changed her manner .lhe was told that she received more atten tion than any girl in Boston. Never theless, that young woman has had two seasons and is still disengaged. She is a type of the short-sightediness of some of "her sex. Shie has men about her in plenty, and "shie shall have music wherever she goes," but men are 1 etter than they ap; ear. At bottom men love kindl:ness, gentleness, mode.sty, purity in act and t houghit in wom'en. A D~og's Y::wn. Did vou ever watch a dog yawn?

Only a few of the above-named symptoms are likely to be present in any on& case. Thousands of cases annually, without manifeetiug haif of the above ayniptoms, re sult in consumption, and end in the grave. No disease is so common, more deceptive and dangerous. or less understood by physicians.

"Untold Agony from Catarrh." Prof. W. HAUSNER, the famous mesmerist, of Ithaca, N. Y., writes: "Some ten years ago I suffered untold agony from chronio nasal catarrh. My family physician gave me up as incurable, and said I must die. My case was such a bad one, that every day towards sun set, my voice would become so 'hoarse I could barely speak above a whisper. In the morning my coughing and clearing of my throat would almost strangle me. By the use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, in three months, I was a well man, and the cure has been permanent.' "Constantly Hawking and Spitting." THOMAS J. ) -BING, Esq., 290 Pine Street, St. Louis, Mo., writes: "I was a great sufferer from catarrh for three years. At times I could hardly breathe, and was constantly hawking and spitting, and for the last eight months could not breathe through the nostrils. I thought nothing could be done for me. Luck ily, I was advised to try Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and I am now a well man. I believe it to be the only sure remedy for catarrh now manufactured, and one has only to give It a fair trial to experience astounding results and a permanent cure." Three Bottles Cure Catarrh.
