Mr. Middlerib did not stop to reflect that e With such a name as that Would be ever apt to say anything; he only thought of the rheumatic twinges that grapped his knafea once in a while, sod "made life ft burden to him. He read the article several times and' pandered, over it. He under stood that the atiuging mute be done sfientificallyaud thoroughly. The bee, as he understood the ar ticle, was to bn griped'by the ears and set down upon the rheumatic joiuta, and held there until it stung itself stingless. He had some misgivings about the matter. He knew it would hurt. He hard ly thought it could hurt any worse than the rheumatism, and it had been so many years since ho was stung by a bee that lie had almost forguiten what it felt like; ' He Jiad, however, a general feeling that it would hurt some. But des perate diseases required desperate remedies, and Mr. Middlerib Was willing to undergo any amount of suffering if it would cure bis rheu matism, He contracted with Master Mid- dlerib for a limited supply ofjbees. There were bees and bees, hum ming about in the summer air,but Mr. Middlerib did not know 1 how to get them. He felt, however, that ha could safely depend jupon the jnsfiiiots and methods of. boy hood. ffn-lfiSlv it there was; any .why in hoavsp ot e*rth whereby the shyest bse that ever lifted a two hundred pound man oil the clover, could be induced to enter a wide-mouthed glass bottle, his sou knew that way. For the small sum of one dime Master Middlerib agreed to i pro cure several, to-wit: six bees, sex and age not specified; but ps. Mr. Middlerib was left in uncertainty as to the race, it was made ilbtig- atory upon'the contractor to have ______ _____ ________ _____ three oftbem honey and thrpe^of n j ne ty.seven on the end of his thumb. He reversed the bee and pressed the warlike terminus of it ‘firmly against hie rheumatism Knee. It didn’t hurt so badly as he thought it would. It didn't hurt at all. Then Mr, Middlerib remember ed that when the hodey-bse stabs a human foe, it generally leaves the weapon Id the wound and the invalid knew then that the only thing this bee had to sting with was doing ite work ib the and of his thumb. He reached his' a'rttt out from iludCT thef sheet, amt dropped his * i them humhlg, of in the generally accepted vernacular, bumblebees. Mr: M. did not ttrRI what he wanted those’hdes for, 'and the boy went off on his hiisttoo, with bis head so (ojl of astanishmenl that it fairly whiflW Evening brings all home, and the last rays of the declining sun tail upon Master Midd|eHb With a» short, wide-mouthed bottle, comfortably populated with hot, f\|flatai beat,, and Mr-. Mtd.‘ , lw ! i>...a l id ft dinwii TUedime ap/d : bottle changed rhaudmo: Mr. Middlerib put the bottle in bis Wat pocket and went into this bouse, eyeing everybody he met very sns|rfeioMH 1 iKiPlie bad wad* a* b-li- mitld to stittg to death the fiist person that said “bee,’ 1 .to him. He confided b!e guilty secret to none of his family. He. hid his bees in his bedroom, and as he looked at them just before putting them away he half wished the ex periment was over. He wished the imprisoned bees didn’t look bo hot and cross. With exquisite care he submerged the bottle in a basin of water, and let a few drops in on the heated inmates to cool them off, At the tea table he had a great flight. Miss Middlerib, in the artless simplicity of her romantic nature said: “I smell bees. How the odor brings Up ” But her father glared at her and said, with superfluous harshness and execrable grammer : “Hust up 1 You don't smell nothing.’ 1 Whereupon Mrs. Middieribask ed him if he had eaten anything that had disagreed with him, and Miss Middlerib said : “Why, pal” and Master Mid dlerib smiled as he wondered. .Bed-time at last, and the night Wa3 warm and sultry. Under va rious false pretenses, Mr, Middle- rib strolled about the house Until dVerybody else was in bed, ahd then he sought his room. He turned the night lamp down until its feeble rays shone dimly as death-light. - Mr. Middlerib disrobed slowly '—very slowly. When at last' he was roady to go lumbering into his peaceful couch, he heaved profound sigh, n fulT of apprehen sion and grief that Mrs Middleiih, who was awakeued by it, sft'id if it gave him so much pain to come to bed, perhaps he had better set up ail night. Mr. Middleribcheok- ed another sigh, but said nothing and crept into bed. After lying still a few moments he reached out and got hie bottle of bees. It was not an easy thing to do, to pick one bee out of a bottle full with his Angers, and not gee into trouble. The first bee Mr.. Mid dlerib got was a little browq hon ey bee that wouldn’t weigh half an ounce if you picked him up by the ears, but if yon lifted him by the hind legs, as Mr. Middlerib did, would weigh as much as the last end of a bay mule. Mr. Mid dlerib could not express a groan. “What’s the matter with you?’ sleepily asked his wife. It was very hard for Mr, Mid dlerib to say he had only Telt hot, but be did it. He didn't have to 1 lie about it, either. He did feel very hot, indeed. About eighty six all over, and one hundred and intent on the carpet. Then, after a second of blank wonder, he be gan to feel round for the bottle; and wished he kuew what be did with it. In the mean time strange t.hitigS had been goiog on. When he caught hold ot the first bee, Mr. Middlerib. for reasons, drew it out in such haste that for the time he torgot all about the bottle and its remedial contents, and left it ly ing uncorked in the bed, between himself and his innocent wife. In the darkness there had been a qui et but general euiigration from that bottle. The bees, their wings clogged with the watef Mr, Mid dlerib had poured upon them to cool and trunquilize them, were crawling aimlessly about over the sheet. While Mr, Middlerib was feeling around for it,his ears were Suddenly thrilled and his heart frozen by a wild, piercing soream from his wile, “Murder F she screamed, ‘mur der I Oh, help me 1 Help me I’’ Mr. Middlerib eat bolt upright in the bed. His hair stood on end. The night was very Warm, but he turned to ice in a minute. “Where in thunder,” he said, with pallid lips, as ho felt all over the bed iU frozen haste—"where in thunder are them infernal bees? And a large “bumble” with aj Married Without Shops. About twenty years ago,a young fellow named Johnson, in the wilds of Cheat Mountain in West Virginia, made up his.mjnd to bd married. “But you have not a penny,’* remonstrated his friends,- . "I have iUy liandp-. lA.mun was given two bauds, nnp. tp scratch for himself, and the, other for his wile/' he said. On the day of„ the. wedding, Johnson appeared, in a wlljte coat and trousers, hut harefopfeA. ‘This is hardly decent,',said the clergyman, “i'll Ipnd you a pair offllmes *' “No/’ Haiti .Johnson, “Wihen I can liny shoe* I'll wear them; not before,’’ Arift he stood np to bei married without another thought of his feet. The samd stiirdy directness showr- ed itself in his future course. What he hadn’t the money to pay for, he did without, He.hired himself to a farmer for a year's . work. VVith the money sated from hia wages,he bought a couple of acres of iimbere-1-land and a pair of sheep, built himself a hut, and went, to work on his ground. His sheep increased; as the time' inside of Mr. Middlefib’s night shirt until it got squarely between his shoulders, and then it felt in for his marrow, and said Calmly : “Here is one of them.” And Mrs. Middlerib felt asham ed of her feeble sorearos when Mr. Middlerib threw up both arms,and with a howl that made the win dows rattle roared : “Take him off I Oh, land of Scott, somebody take him off!” And when a little lioui-y-bee be gan tickling the soul ot Mrs. Mid dlerib’ s foot., she shrieked that the house was bewitched, and imme diately weut into spasms The household was aroused by this time. Miss Middlerib, aud the servants were pouring into the room, adding, to the general con fusion by howling at raudom, aud asking questions^hile they gaZi-d at the figure ot a man, a little on to years, arrayed in a long night shirt, pawing fiercely at the unat tainable spot in the middle of his back, whiie.be danced an unnatu ral, weired, wicked-looking jig by the dim, religious light of the night-lamp. And while he danced and bowled, and while they gazed and shouted; a navy-blue wasp, that Master Middlerib had put in the bottle for good measure aud variety,and to keep the menagerie stirred up, had dried his legs and wings With a corner.of the sheet,- and, after a preliminary circle or two around the bed to get up his motion and settle down on a work ing gait, lie fired himself across the room, and to bis dying day Mr. Middlerib will always believe that one of the servants mistook him for a burglar and shot him. Not one/.even Mr. Middlerib himself, could doubt that he was, at least for the time, most thor oughly curedot rheumatism. His own-boy could not have oarried himselt more lightly, or With greatev agility. But the cuie was not permanent, and Mr. MiJdle- rib Jons not like to talk about it. stittg as pitiless as the ’finger of J 111 rau re; then sold soorn, just then climbed up the cheaper kin,Is and invested ■ “■ Bytithnowu and French Merino, His neighbors tried by turns rais* Ing horses, cattle or gave their at tention to experimental farming. Johuson, having found opt that sheep raising in this district brought a handsome profit, stuck to sheep raising. He had the shrewdness in seeing the best way, and dogged persistance in follow ing it, which are the surest ele- mentH of success. Stock-buyers from the Easterri markets soon found that Johnson's fleeces were the finest,- aud h& muttons the sweetest,on the Cheat. He never allowed their reputation to fall; the end of which course is that the man , who was qaarried 1 barefooted is now worth $ large property.
