Gussie, do you love me? Will Hammond stood at one end of tho long snowy pine table, looking very handsome and very muoli in earnest as he watohed tho saucy graceful way Gussie Greendalo tossed her head, aud the bright color came warming her pretty oheeks. It mnde a pleasunt picture, the big kitchen in the Greemlale furm- liuuse, with its diesser full or shin ing tins, its big, deep seated windows draped with spotless dimity; its doz en old fashions ruBh-bottomed chairs, and one great big cozily-oushion rocker beside the cooking stove; with its 6nowy floor, with here and there strips of bright rag carpet, its long white pine side table that was load ed down cold frosty morning with toothsome dainties in a fair way of preparation for table. And prettiest of all was Gussie Greendale, herself, with her bright brown and white calico dress so neatly covered by a big bib apron, her sleeves rolled up to her pink, dimpled elbows, showing small ex quisitely moulded arms; witli her pretty uroh face, of e’eir bru nette complexion; her well-poised head with its shining, dusky hair ar ranged neatly and becomingly; with her saucy, roguish eyes, whose meri- ment hid the great depth of tender passion, of which she was so capable. Will Hammond looked at her fully a minute, all his heart in his eyes, while Gussie went complacently on with the work in hand, which, at that eBpecial minute, consisted of spreading delicious looking lemon custard on a layer of jelly cake. A minute, two, three; passed, and the young man waited, and the girl spread custard with her dainty brown hand as though life itself was depen dent thereupon. Then ho spoke. Will you answer me, Gussie? yes no.? And Gussie raised her roguish, co quettish eyes, with a demureness that he might have known waB dan gerous. Really, I don’t know which it is. There, now, Will are you satisfied? Satisfied! And he thought, as he bit his mustache in sheer vexation, that it took some magic skill he feared he never possessed to woo this outrageong tittle enchanting flirt. Satisfied with her deliciously red lips pouting so near him and he not. daring to kiss them—satisfied, with that hauty little head so near his, and he not daring to cradle it on Mb breast! Doubtless my content is supreme, he said bitterly. Gussie did it ever seem to you that perhaps I mean what I say?. Sometimes I have imag. gers, lojkeil critically, admiringly at it, then at him. Very well, Will since you insist upon yes or no —uol And she sat tho cake down with little emphueis. No hejjcjiatd, iu a voice that wits husky- with the sudden end ol the exquiait dream ho had boon indulg ing so-lwlg-^-ever since he had come to the Greendale furm-house.in mid summer, and where he lingered now, out oT nlVTirudimce, so fur us Ms bus iness was concerned, at the begiu- ing of neoember, simply and solely because in Guttle Greondulc were cell tfcrfd all (hd FSpes of his life. And she had deliberately said—no. She had coolly, almost coldly told him she did not love him, or its equivalent Nel Gussie,; you cau’t menu that —you never can be so cruel! 1 mean just what 1 said—I have that habit. But I can offer you ev ery encouragement in asking seme other young ladies the same question who iiavo other ideas titan those of cake-making, who doubtless wit) be very glad of a chauce to say yes. Isn’t this kitchen awful hot? Certainly Gtttsie’s oheeks were re markably red, but whether or not it was the heat of the kitchen, Willard Ilmnmand did not inquire—lie Imd his answer. Aud Gussie’s lingers flew luster tliun usual, and the puutry doors slummed sumowhat, and one entire pan of cookies were burned to small ovul cinders while Gussie stood med itatively by the window. Think you must be going, eli? It’s rather sudden, isn’t it Mr. Ham mond ? Farmer Greendale passed tho warm tea biscuit and asked the question at the same time, and Gussie gave a lit tle start that no one saw at the un- swer. Rather sudden, Mr, Greendale and yet, when I think how I have pro longed my vaeatiou, 1 feel 1 should have mudo mv decision weeks ago. Yes 1 think I will leave you on Thursday of th s wcelft He handed his ettp to Gussie for his second installment of tea, with a perfectly cool nouchnlonce for muu- ■ “The knowledge Imparted methingih»t trtrjo** «lo»ld tat - qf early IndUcretion i th# othenrl## rbe, mil wltn vnjnJnBvI Going home on Thursday—and this was Tuesday! Only two more days! And then Gussie made up her inind that she would not feel lonesome when he had gone; she had never been lonesome before he came why now? Ab she handed back his cup she shut her eyes to the fact that never again would life be as calm aud rosy- lined as before she saw Willard Ham mond, unless— And with the perverseness of wo man-kind—Gussie’s eyes sparkled; ami her cheeks glowed and the dim ples came in her chiu, and she felt dreadfully miserable to think of that no! And Mr. Hammond heard and saw w th jealous paiu, and forthwith be gan an easy conversation with far mer Greendale. I need not say how much I regret breaking the pleasant connections I have had here among you but it is of course, impossible that such a life should last forever, delightful thongh it is. Besides imperative summons from my cousin iu Boston—one of the prettiest most bewitching little ladies you can imagine, Miss Gussie makes it a double duty for me to go. Gussie smiled aud said indeed,’ us calmly as though he had announced his intention of riding over the farm, while she experienced hot aud cold thrills at thought of that cousiu of his. He only said it to make me jealous, and he 'shall not do it’ Gussie said to herself, and then with woman’s in consistency, went deliberately at work thinking and fretting, and groaning, until by Thursday morn ing she was almost the ghost of her- Would he renew it? Guhbu? sprang from the window where ahe was Watching one of the farmhands hur- neasing up the horses that were to take her darling away from nor. Would he? The thought sent brilliant dashes to the sweet eyes that had been dim for so many weary hours, and, —now acmes the question, was it unrauidt' only in her?—Gussie wont into the sitting-room where Mr. Hammond wus alone, waitiug for the horse. Ho glanced up as she cauie shyly in, looking very fair to see. I am still waiting, you see, Miss Gussie. It is real good of you to come and help me be patient. Miss Gussie! lie never has called her s ) until that o her day, and he never had addressed her more famil iarly since. There is still sometime,Mr. Ham mond— uearly half an hour yet. 1 am sorry you should bo impatient to get uwuy. He. laughed—not the free joyous laugh she so loved to hear, but a cold, constrained mirth. It is rather strange, isn’t it, ttftfer being iu no big hurry for so long? What a line creature Ceasar it! Gussie kuew he meant one of the two handsome horses he could see from the win ow, and she knew, too, that there was not any satisfaction iu his farewell. He had ceased to care for her— that was evident, or he would cer tainly have taken this golden oppor tunity—and it was her own uct that wus recoiling in such fearful violeuce at her heart. She was trembling with nervous excitement and jealous love and de- spuir. She saw the carriage come bowling up towards tho front door; she knew—. She only knew she loved him dear ly, and she must lose him by her own cruel act. Sho could not endure it, this brave, sweet, faulty girl, with her foolish little heud and her loving big heart; and so—do you blame her, I don’t, not a hit—she went trembling up to her .‘■ejected lover, anil laid her bund on his arm. Mr. Hammond—Will! don’t go elf so—indeed—indeed—I want you to —please—please forgive me for what I—said—what I did not say—1 mean—. And tho hot blushes and the tea»-s came both at once, and through them both Will Hammond saw aglow iu her eye that made him drop his overcoat and step near to her— so near, her quick, hurried breathings were on his ebook. Gussie! whatdo von mean? Gussie for God’s sake don’t cheat me if I am not to have your love Gussie, do you love me darling? And it was the happiest moment in both their lives. But—was it unmaidenly?

Toon the mill of the people had been tidied with, and trickery had been resorted to in the nontiuutio . ot a candidate- The convention had not art.-d fairly with tile people, and we did not censure Felton for attempting to justify him self and rebuke tho convention, In that election Felton was successful as an independent candidate by only about eighty votes. In the election of 1870 he was again an independent candidate and was elected over the regular Democratic nominee by twenty-five hundred majority. 'Plus was enough to have satisfied Felton that the peo/)lo were determined to resist “rings” and oppose trickery iu nominating conventions. Now for Felton, in advanon of any action or convention of the people, to declare him fell' an independent candidate whether they want him or not, is both presumptuous and dicta torial. He is a good man, it is true, and wo have justified him heretofore, but in the election next fall, we hope the organized Democracy of the Sev enth District will rebuku him at the polls so severely that lie will never again attempt to dictate terms and disorganize the only responsible and respectable political orgauiz tion in the stale. Tho people of the Seventh District have sufficiently shown their disap probation of the action of the conven tion of 1874 that nominated Mr. Trammell,and now they should man- feat their displeasure at. the course and presumption of Mr. Felton. They have stood by him long enough unless he asks and receives an en dorsement by a nominating conven tion. The Story. “How do you do, Mrs. Becgs? Have you heard the story about Mrs. Lndly?” “Why, no, really, Mrs. Gad, what is it—do tell?” “Oil, I promised not to tell for all tho world! Oh, I must never tell it, I'm afraid it will get out.” “No, I’ll never open my mouth about it—never. Hope I’ll die this minute!” “Well, if you’ll believe it, Mrs. Ltiddy told me last night, that Mrs Trot told her, that her sister’s hus band was told by a person who dreamed it, that Mrs.Trouble’s eld est daughter told Mrs. Fiohens that her grandmother heard by a letter which she got from her sister’s second husband’s oldest brother’s stepdaugh ter, that it was reported by the cap tain of a clamboat just arrived from the Feejee Islands, that the mer maids about that section wear crino line made out of shark skins.” more for a good dinner than he does long as his appetite is unap peased—to listen to the tnosio of the spheres, lleavv bread 1ms made many heavy hearts, given riBe to dys pepsia and its hold of accompanying torments. Girls who desire that their husbands should be amiable and kind should learn how to make light bread. A story is told of a happy wife who, when asked how she man aged iter husduud so successfully, replied, with a roguish smile, “My dear, I feed him well.” There is a great deal in that.— Tltoso wives who are entirely depen dent upon hired cooks make a sorry show at housekeeping. Tho stom- aclto performs averey important part, in the economy of humanity; and those who ure forgetful of this fact commit a serious mistake. Even the lion map he tamed by keeping him well fell.

But now with all the bustle and excite ment of getting him off, and now when his trunk stood strapped in the hallway, and she had taken a peep in the room he had occupied, and that made her fe.l us if there had been a funeral in the house, now knowing it was the last time she would everfee his overcoat hanging on the hall- rack, or hear his tread on the stairs, GusBie came to a terrible realization ot what she had done, how she had crushed all the light, and warmth, and beauty out of her life &n 1 all be cause she was an inborn little co- quet. And that city cousin of his! Gnssie wanted to sitoke her, wherever, who ever, whatever she was that she dare be so muok to Willard Hammond, A lady from near Sugar Valley re lates the following: She says that a man was plowing in the flicld a week or so ago, during which he littered the wish that God would have to plow in the heat of the sun as he was forced to do. Immediately upon ut- lering these words lie stopped still, us if turned to stone, and it is positive ly asserted that he was rooted to the spot, and that two horses failed t. pull him away, and was still there when last heard from, and it is im possible to remove him.

A traveler stepped ofT a train at lake Erie Depot, and, accoting a newsboy, asked: ‘S.nny, what is the quickest wav to got to the Gsnten- niul Depot? ‘Run!’ lie answered, and Bet tlie example by getting out of the way pretty fast. Two-years ago he pointed to a mar. and said: “There’s a man who dareB not say his soul’s his own when his wife’s about. Some of these women ought to get me for a husband. I’d show them a thing or two.” He’s married now, and when his wife says “Thomas” he jumps two feet, answers “yes’m” and does not let the grass grow under him in answer to tlie summons. A dying client Bent for his lawyers, of course to draw tho will, they sup posed. Jubge of their surprise when Mb request was that one should stand on each side of him so he could die like Jesus Christ. and nothing more. Gussie! you shall answer me! If you have an idea be yond having that custard spread Bmooth on yonr cake, you shall tell whom she loved, for all she had so me y eB or no! cruelly relksed him—and, shall it be And Gussie with her fine layered confessed vith not a doubt that he custard jelly-cake poised on her fin- would rensw his offer. Hon. Alex. Stephens speaking of the Potter resolution says: “My own opinion is, as I repeatedly said, this affair will prove in the end either a contemptable farce or a horrible tragedy. Whether it will lead to a Mexicanization of our Frederal re public this result must show: but I say, as I said on another great occa sion, that all tho soft words institut ing in the minds of the people and country the idea that Mr. Hayes can bo peaceablv unseated by Con gress are as guiltfnl as the whisper ing of the great arch fiend in the shape of a toad in the ear of Eve, from which sprung all our woes.” A very little experience is worth » vast amount of theorizing. This is what Lord & Taylor, tits celebrated New York merchants, have to say about the ugeney through which they built up their large and prosperous business: Of ull the methods open to tlie merchants for udvertiaeing his busi ness, an experience of nearly half a century enables us to unhesitatingly declare iu favor ol the newspaper. It is, without exception, tho most, eco nomical, persistent, painstaking and successful canvasser any bnsiuess firm can secure for the purpose of bringing their goods to the attention of the consumer.” General Field, the new Doorkeep er of tho House of Represen Lives, re lutes the following anecdote in con nection with Lee’s surrender: Gen eral Meade, whose army was in the rear, sent a request to General Field to conduct him throgh the lines to General Lee, who was a mile in front. As Meade, at the head of his staff, passed through Field’s division, the men gathered in squares along the route, attracted by the spectacle.— The two Generals were side by side, conversing, when General Meade turned to Field with the remark, “Your troops are very complimenta ry to mo.” “How so?” asked Field. “Why, they suv I look like a rebel.” “Do you take thatfor aoompliment?” said General Field. “To be sure I do,” replied General Meade. “Any people who have Bhown the courage and spirit you have must have tlieir admirers everywhere.” An old general after a dreadful de feat, called together his staff, and in- quired about the condition of his troops.
