Poor Kate.
At the stroke of twelve, one night,
when there was no moon, tho door
of a luigo and handsome liouse, in a
pfeatAtiit conti'Ty pitch, 'was opened
sofily, and n g'uTicrept out and looked
anxiously about her. She was a
pretty-young creature, with a soft
"foolish sort of face, and tfhe had an
air ahout her tha tpld of good liv
ing, and freedom L ain all tare as to
ways and means.'
fler dress was a Imndspmo ope,
suitable for tmviTmg, and ju bur
hand she carried ale ther hag.
d<*inu the door softly b-hind
Tfer, she lutrH. and HowiPfte gfWefen
path, mul at the gate found her hand
clasped.-hy the strong hand of a. man
A—a handsome, tall fellow, though
even in that light one" could see that
he watt not a 'refined person. Indeed
fhe man was her mother’s own hired
servant,•‘with whom she was about
to elope.
To say why she bad been so fooli-h
as to take a fancy for him—to exp’am
the feelings that indneed her, young,
beautiful and educated, the daugh
ter of a wealthy woman, with a good
"position in society—to fall in love
with a fellow who had nothing but a
certain amount of coarfce good looks
to recommend him, wolud be to
succeed where al| the wi-est men
ill the world hav'e failed thus far.
Who has ever been able to give
the reasons for a w oman’s infatu
tion for her lover. It:deed, she lias

ij£.ate Armour left hOif happy home,
her mother, who loved her, her
friends, and all luxuries, for the
"kisses-and praises of that boor of a
groom, who bad no honest worth to
compensate for bis lack’ of education
and TTiattfienst.
Go she did, however, and the two
were innrried in the nearest town,
.TJVta Scutcher having no doubt
whatever that Mrs. Armour would
relent when she heard that her girl
really married, and that he should
lie doWn in clover for the rest ot his
days. He recltouecl .without his host,
however. Tine mother replied to
her daughter’s first letter by forbid
ding her,ever to write again.
When theMnswer catne tho groom
was very angry. However, he was
in love, in his coarse fashion, just
then, and after sulking an hour or
two,-lie turned to his wife, and said:
“Well, you’re as handsome as a
picture, "any w ay —and hang the
woman!’-’
Then he took her by both arms,
holding her so tightly that he left
he marks of ltis fingers upon them,
and kissed lie on the neck. A fierce,
hot hiss, rotn which she shrank wit.h
a little sc'cam, crying:
“Tom, you hit me !”

And ro prone him.' Inm with it, and
he had a glas , and foolishly twitting
him with the tact that she had left
wealth and luxury for him, and
might have married well, he struck
her. So her love ended and the
lowest depth of misery reached.
She sasv the man she belonged to
for life ill his true colors.
And now bo often told her •thnt
site iiad lost all her good looks, and
was nothing but a drag on a young
fellow who could marry “ihe pret
tiest girl going, if he were -ingle.”
* Oh, mother, mother, if you only
knew,” the gid often sobbed in
sicrift; but she could not g> home
t tempi:’* lituby in her arms.
Indeed she had not the resolution
necessary to enable her to mu away.
A little, soft, silly thing she was still,
and ever would be.
Scotoher, with his habits, lost one
place after anothet, and they moved
on and on, living here and there.
Sometimes with plenty to eat, some
times with half enough, until the
child was a year old. Then, one
morning; Scotcher having found
w ork in a neighboring town, or so
declared, they traveled together
across the country, the wife carrying
baby on her arm and a bundle in her
hand.
Kate Armour had disdained to
carry the tiniest parcel.
They had come to a spot in the
road where a grateful shade fell from
some large elms, and they sal down
to eat and drink. Torn was in his
best humor lor some reason, and
made a joke at which his wife
laughed. On that, flittered by her
appreciation, he told her that “any
way her teeth were like pearls.’’
Praise is sweet to a woman, and
she bad beard no compliments for a
long time, and she smiled at him
again.
“I’d grow good looking ag lin if
we had better time’s,” said she,
“And there’s mother with a box full
of money, and no one to spend it on.”
‘•Why, what do you mean, girl ? ”
said Scotcher. “ Box full of money I
Her money is in the bank, I suppose,
like other folks.” Kate highed.
“Moeher never will put money in a
bank,’’sbe said. “Site’s sure they’!'
fail. She has it invested in other
ways; but she has thousands some
times iu an old red box under the
bed, Sbe throws things on top, and
says that it is the best way to hide
it. I've often worried over it at
home.”
“Yes,” said Tom, ‘‘it’s foolish but
women are mostly fools.”
Then he finished his bread and
cheese and arose
“I’ll go back to the tavern and get
a drink ot beer,” he said. “You sit
here —you and the child.”
Then he stooped down and pinched
the hoy’s check. Not for months had
her Orson been so charming. Kate
was really comforted.
She sat in the shade for a long
time, not wondering that he was
long in coining 'buck when he had
reached so desirable a goal as a tav
ern. And after a while she fell asleep.
It was a long, sweet sleep, and in it
she saw her mother and the oid
house where she was born, in a
strangely vivid dream.
Her rntiUj' r set and looked at her
in the oB r - -"•'on her lap lay
• great pel
And now Kate began to under
stand that ho had ahmloned her.
At first going, by herself to a spot
where no one could see tior she cried
over it, and felt very wretched.
Then hope filled her heart. Now
he? mother would relent. Oh, as
suredly her mother vv.euld relent and
ake her home.
She returned to the tavern, ami
asked the way to Gr.ipemore. O.dv
nearer than she thought. On’y fit*
teen in los away. Towards it she net
her face. Slowly and painfully she
toiled on, begging her bread as she
went.
She sVpt in bf-.i’nS at times. Once
in an old lime ki’u. tAk j.\t the white
spire of the church where she. hud
been baptiz'd arose Tvotn the green
distance of tree-encircled Grape-

Then she saw an old red barn with
w hich she was familiar, and a group
of haymaking people.
Tho last farm on tho road to
Grapctnore, and new hope give her
strength. She would not lag until
she met her mother.
She washed her own face and that
of her child in a little pond. Sbe
shook some of the dust, from clothes,
and walked on more slowly ooiuiug
at length into the trim sued with
its houses half hidden in their fin •
gardens, in which stood her mother's
dwelling-place. Yes, s! e must be
forgotten—she must, she would.
lout what was ibis? Ustidly the
street was so ptiet. Now a c'owd
tided it. People ran to and fro some
shouting, some crying. And the
densest of the crowd was about her
mother's house. What had liap
pe- e 1 ?
With her heart beating wildly,
Kite clutched the arm of a poor
woman wlm was near.
“ What is the matter?” she asked.
“Why, it is murder,” said the
woman us she spoke. “You’re a

Breaking up a Setting Hen.
From the Dinbu , y News.]
Tilt* city man who goes into the
country t-* spun 1 the summer must
make up bis mind to learn something
of the routine of rural lib*. A New
York man who is spending the hot
weather season with a family on Pine
street was asked by the la-lv of the
house if he would take a lien off the
nest, as it wanted to Ret and she
didn’t want it 10.
“ Certainly,” said he, and iintn di
ately started out to tho barn where
tho hens were kept, to crush out the
maternal prospjetrf of this partfcli'ar
one.
lie went stiaight to the nfisC to lift
her off, and reached out bn ban ! for
that purpose, but immediately drew
it back and put it up under the otb
er arm, and squeez 'd it a little, while
he drew up his lips a litt’eas it about
to whistle something. Then he
stood there and stsreil at the hen,
and she lifted u;> her head aitd stared
back at him, winking Iter eyes with
singular velocity.
“Get off, won’t you?” sail lie
after a singular p.iu-e.
She made no rusp mse.
lie drew out his hand and looked
at a red -p->t on one of tho knuckles,
ami then put tho knuoklerin his mouth
to cool it, looking all the while at
tho lien, and wondered h>v on earth
she moved so quickly. The longer
lie eved her, the less inclined ho folt
to touch her, and finally ho ditched
up a post to a beam .i-hioli ran over
the nest and working bis way out un
til lie got just above the lien, bo look
off his hat and shook it at her and ad
vised her to “get.” But sho only
looked at him with one uyo at a time,
and clucked ominously. lie told her
if she didn’t leave he’d como down
there and kick ker through the barn,
but immediately gave up the blood
thirsty design when lie reflected that
it was a dumb animal and it couldn’t
reason like a human being, ’ihcii be

were w hite linen, and iubbqd his fin
gers on tho beam to had them lull of
black dust, which led him to work
his body aroan 1 to lo >k at his pants,
sinl while making this very na'ural
move he suddenly slipped, made a
! a plunge to renew his hold, shrieking
| for help, slipp 'd again, and tlum
| came down on top of the hen and
the nest, smashing them both to the
floor, upsetting a barrel, an 1 fi ling
the air with dust, feathers, hen
noises and shrieks. When the fam
ily reached tho barn, the unfortunate
man looked something' like a circus
poster on legs, had gotten on his
feet and was ttu'iiing around his head
in an abstracted manner, and every
time lu> turned, an omelette oi a
white linen base came to view, while
the hen stood up in the furthest cor
n ron one leg with a look of min
gled astonishment -and repro tch on
her countenance. After five minutes
industrious application with a chip,
the gentleman was escorted into the
the house, where his head was bathed
in spirts and his comforts generally
attended to.

Beautiful Tribute to Woman.
Wo have seen many beautiful trib
utes to lovely woman,but the follow
in'' tribute is unmistakably tho finest
wo have ever read : ,
“Place her among the flowers, fos
ter her tender as a plant, and she is
a thing of finery*, way whrduess anti
folly, annoyed by a dew drop, fret
tod by tho touch of a butterfly’s
wing, ready to faint el tho sound of
a window pane at night, and hIiO is
overpowered by the perfume of the
rosebud. Hut let real calamity
come and rouse lior tiff ctions, en
kindle the fires of her hert, and
mark her then I How strong is her
heart. Place her in the heart of the
battle, give her a child, a bird, or
anything to protect, and seo her in
the relative instances, lifting her
whito arm as a shield, as her own
blood crimsons her upturned head
praying for her life to protect the
helpless. Transplant her in tho
dark places of earth, call forth her
energies to action, nml her breath
becomes a healing, her presence a
bles-iug, She disputes inch bv inch
the strides of stalking pestilence,
when man, the strong and brave, pile
and affrighted shrinks away. Mis
fortune haunts Iter not; she wears
away a life ot silent endurance, and
goes forward with less litnidi y than
to her bridal. In prosperity ho is
a bu l full of odors, w aiting for the
winds of adversity to scatter them
abroad. Gold, valuable, but untried
in the furnace. In short, woman is a
miracle, a mistery, tho centre from
which radiates the charm of exis
