A LINE FENCE.
If there ain’t them hens again,’,
said Elias Long, setting down the
milk-pail on the kitchen porch with
it jerk. The stout, pleasant-faced
woman to whom he spoke paused
in the doorway with her bare arms
twisted into her calico apron, and
regarded the offenders mildly.
They were ’straggling through
one of the numerous gaps in the
broken-down fence which separated
- Mr. Long’s garden from that*! his
neighbor, Alvan Talcott—a proces
sion of nine, clucking in a crooning
way and steppingtiigh. Theycame
•on with a composed deliberation,
pausing among the cucumbers with
u contemplative air, skirting the
radishes Hfter a dissatisfied survey,
and settling down at last among
the tomatoes with a chorus of vic
torious ducks.
“It ain’t going to do,” said Mr.
Long, wipi >g a disturbed face with,
his old rod silk handkerchief. “I
h'n’t going (.1 Stand it ”
-•ii and dady he’s thought of it,”
»:ti<t his ifp, tranquilly.
“tie can’t think of nothing but
f t pesky croquet business,” re
joined M a. Long, jerking his head
toward in neighbor’s yard, from
which the sound of voices and the
click of mallets proceeded. “I
ain’t going to stand still and get ate
out of house and home by nobody’s
hens If you be.”
“Oh, laws, Elias!” Mrs. Long be
gan, in easy remoBstrance: but her
husband had seized an old tin dip
per from t lie porch-shell, and was
making for the tomato-patch
last as liis sixty years would permit.
There was a wild cackling and
scattering as he threw his dipper in
the midst of the scratching fl'>ck,
pursued : hem unrelentingly to tlie
furtherest possible point, and lean
ed rxhau-dedly against the sunken
gate of the dilapidated fence. It
was sunken withthe weight of the
many Iriendly chats held across it
since the long ago period of its erec
tion; chats held at all timesof day
and upon all subjects—politics,
mowing-machines,fertilizers,sewing
societies, crochet patterns, raised
cake recipes, etc.
Mr. Talcott’s croquet-ground was-
before him. Mr. Talcott himself
stood near, leaning the weight of
his small and wiry person on his
mallet; his hat over one ear, his
cheerful, round face shining with
eagerness, his whole attitude ex
pressive of watchful and profound
absorption.
HU eyes were fixed upon the long
figure of Bart Collicut, the champi
on croquet-player of the town, who
stood at the other end of the ground
in the act of striking. Old Dr. Blair,
upon whose ball lie was preparing
to operate, regarded him seriously
from his retirement on the well-
stone; little Mr. McQairk, who had
; stepped across from his grocery to
1 take a fourth hand, and who was
keeping an eye on that edifice, fid
geted about in nervous apprehen
sion and dangerous proximity to
the upraised mallet.
Mr. Long surveyed the scene with
displeasure. He had, originally,
strongly disapproved of Mr. Tal
cott’s croquet-ground. Ho had not
boon sure that croquet was not on
a le.el with“keerds"and gambling;
aud that a deacon of the church and
a member ot the town council
should countenance and encourage
■ucli iniquity was a subject for
grave reflection.
From this—after frequent glimp
ses and occasional considerations of
the game, over the fence—tic had
softened to the opinion that it was
» waste of time and a pack of fool
ishness; failing gradually into the
habit, itespite his convictions, of ob
serving it regularly—graduating
from the fence to Mr. Talcott’s
doorstep, and thus acquiring a tol
erable knowledge of its baleful
methods. He had even been known
to manifest an interest in the game,
to tender advice in a crisis, to give
his opiuion upon a disputed point,
to join iu applause of a good stroke,
but had always considered his
presence somewhat of a reproof
and restraint. Just now, as he stood
frowning down the long bewicketed
ground, nothing could convince
him that he had ever retreated in
the least from his primal attitude of
rigorous disapproval.
“I declare Tor it!” said Mr. Tal
cott, exultingly, as the doctor’s ball
came bowling into the corner; “we
are getting right along! Come in,”
he went on affably, turniug to Mr.
Long. “It looks as though we’d fix
’em this lime, eh?”
Mr. Long shifted his position. , „
“You’ll have to keep Diem hens of | a ^ r u t
yourn to home,” he said. “They’re
spoiling my garden jest about as
faat as they can manage it.” I in mv garden, and the fence better
Mr. Talcott’s smiling face harden-, • *** „ he>9 a to lar *
“I don’t really know as ita any of
my concern, you can’t jest expect
of me to be chasing hens everlast
ingly,”
“I don’t know but what yon had
’better be chasing hens than wast
ing time over this here ” responded
his neighbor, surveying the croquet-
ground with sternness in his long-
featured face. -
Mr. Tlaeott’s small, bright eyes
snapped.
“You h’ain’t no call, as I know of,
to give no opiuion whatsoever,” lie
retorted.
Mr. Long turned his eyes
upon his irate countenance. He was
slower to anger than his neighbor.
,‘About them hens,” he said; “I
ruther guess this line fence better
beflxed up; needs it- They could
not get in then unless they should
go round by the orchard, and that
ain’t likely.”
“I li’iant been calculating to lay
oul anything on fences jest at pres
ent,” said Mr. Talcott, bracing him
self on his short legs defiantly.
“The law Til lows,” rejoined his
neighbor “that a man’s obliged to
pay half towards fixing up a fence
that’s been complained of.”
“i hadn’t been calculating to lav
but no money on fences,” Mr. Tal
cott repeated, his voice rising to a
high pitch.
Mr. Long’s thin face grew grim
“I don’t know as I ever heard
that the law makes exceptions of
people that are a little clus,” ha ob
served.
Mr. Talcott gasped. His hard,
round cheeks were red with re
sentment; his sharp eyes blazed.
“Your strike, Talcott," said Mr.
McQuirk, shortly; ha had spent
several moments in aiming at the
middle wicket, and had failed to
go through.
“You better jest think over about
this fence,” said Mr. Long, as he
turned away.
Mrs. Talcott had ome out of the
bouse with a little bowl in her
hands; a thin woman with pleasing
remains of sandy-haired prettiness.
“I want you to take In some of
my rising to Hannah,” she said.
Tney had known each other by
their first names for some fifty
years.
When Mrs. Long opened the
kitchen door at 6 o’clock the next
morning, and stood looking out at
the early august day in the ms-
ment before the fried pork had siz
zled itself quite brown, and the cof
fee come to a boil—her faculties con
centrated themselves upon an un
expected circumstance just beneath
her eyes.
“Elias,” she said, “he’s tearing
down the line fence. He’s got Job
Dwyer helping him.” She was de
void of suspicions concerning the
fact; her voice merely inquiring.
Mr. Long came to the door rather
slowly. He stood there rubbing his
chin doubtfully; and then went
down the steps, and toward his
neighbor’s yard.
Mr. Ualcott was working ener
getically. A pile of worm-eaten
posts, pulled up by the roots, and
broken pioke's, lay before tiim. A
little further down Job Dwyer wa»
amassing a similar heap.
Mr. Talcott appeared unaware of
his neighbor’s presence. He snap
ped off another picket without
speaking. He wore a forbiding
look which set strangely on his or
dinarily good-humored face.
“I thought likely you’d think bet
ter of it,” Mr. Long observed, with
his eyes fixed warily on the other.
“ This leuce has been wanting fixing
for quite a spell. I don’t know as
it’s worth while tearing it down; 1
thought, mebbe, a little fixing up’d
do it. But I’m willing to do my
share, ifyou be calculating to build
a new one.” After an unrespon
sive pause: “you’re calculating to
build a new one, I s’pose!”
“Yes, I be,” Mr. Talcott rejoined
with acrimonious promptness, “Jest
fetch up that crowbar, Job. This
post seems to a took root.”
Something in his voice shook his
neighbv>r’s composure. But he car
ried off his discomfiture creditably.
“Well,” he said, “it’ll be a good
thiug. I s’pose it ought to have
been done before.” He pulled a
grass and chewed it nndauntedly
for two or three minutes before he
went into the house.
“Well?” said his wife, as she set
the dish of pork on the table.
“He’s set out to build a new line
fence,” said Mr. Long, taking his
seat and shoving his knife up and
down between the tines of his fork.
His wife turned to look at him,
Her sharp intuition rooted out the
d»rk side of the statement.
“You bsin’t had words with him
Elias ?’’ she said, a quick alarm in
her pleasant tace. “Now you didn’t
have no trouble with him yesterday
“I told him,” said Mr. Long,
I reaching for the coffee pot, “his
| hens had been making tol’ahle free
ed.
It was not the first time his ** UfK
neighbor had mentioned the hens:
though never hitherto with so much
decision. ,
up like a fool, I don’t know as It's
any of my concern.”
Hs took a swallow from his cap.
His wife watched him wistfully, j *f<**|!
She looked dazed.
“You h’ain’t ever had no trouble
with him before,” she said. She did
not eat any breakfast.
Mr. Talcott and Job D wyer work
ed fist.' By night the old fence had
been demolished and carted into the
wnodhouse, and new boards stood
leaning against the well stone. By
noon the next day the posts end
scantlings were np and a yard of
tiie fence done.
Mrs. Long got up from the dinner
table to look at it, and turned
blank face upon her husband.
“Elias,” she said, “he’s got it
more’n two yards high.”
Mr. Long started at her. Then
he recovered himself.
“It don’t make no sort of differ
ence to me bow high he’s got it,”
he snapped.
“I don’t know what to make of
it,”she said, coming back to the ta
ble, anxionsly. “I don’t know why a
little low pick like the old ene
wouldn’t done just as well. You
could look right through it jest as
though there wasn’t nothing there;
aud it was handy to band things
across.”
She went about the house that
! ly with an uneasy apprehension
n her face.
“1 don’t know what to make of
it,” she kept thinking, in a troubled
way.
She knew by the next night. The
new line fence was done. It was
seven feet high. There was noth
ing to be seen across it except the
upper half of Mr. Talcott’s house,
the tops of the trees and the barn-
roof. It rose tail and stern and
forbidding. And there was no
gHte. It was a hostile, uncompro
mising barrier. It was an effective
monument to Mr. Talcott’s wrath
and resentment.
The summer passed on into the
fall, and the fall became raw and
windy, and eventually snowy.
Mr. Talcott and Mr. Longdid not
8{>«ak to each other when they
met in the street or th- postoffice
or the blacksmith shop; they passed
each other grimly. When Mr. Tal
cott was appointed to the school
board, of which Mr. Long was al
ready a member, lie sent in a resig
nation. When Mr. Long was put
on a church committee ol which
Mr. Talcott was one, he refused to
act.
It became rapidly known that
the two old neighbors were “not on
speaking terms;” and the causes
and circumstances of the rupture
were not a mystery. People came
on varying pretexts to look at the
fence, from one side or the other*
and hear the story in detail. Often
they went thence over to the other
side, and listened with interest to
the complements! version. The
whole affair, perhaps’, was welcom
ed as a break in the monotony of
the general amicableuess.
It was known, too,that Mrs. Long
and Mrs. Talcott were not active
participants in the quarrel. Their
old companionship seemed virtu
ally ended; their backyard inter
course was necessarily cut off, and
>• had ceased to run in of an
ning. Blit this was -because
neither feit “free to-eoter her neigh
bor’s house, as mail, rs atood; and
because, in their .liinid womanly
ubmissivenes-, ilicy obeyed the
unspoken commands of their hus
bands rather than-.J'aew the dis
pleasure which would h ivo follow
ed a defi uce of them.
They smiled when ihey met each
other; they.lingered in the church,
vestibd'e to exchange gooi-morn
ing. Once Mrs. Long sent in a’ dish
of fresh fried cakes by* neighbor's
boy. He fold her that, ftfca. Talcott
had burst outcrying. She had emp
tied the dish, and sent if back full
of apple sauce.
The autumn days filled the air
with the dim blue vapor and not
uupleasant odor of bonfire smoke.
Mr. Talcott was late witb his. He
had put it off till his fall clearing
was done—the garden freed of the
dried and empty bean, vines, and
raked off; the weeds pulled up
which hud- flourished powerle-s for
harm during the last month .or two,
and which now stood black and
frozen; a'few dead bushes cut down,
and the fruit-trees, trimmed here
and there. It was late ia Novem

over to it. Then he turned, with
scarcely the haste which might
have been taken, and started
for the pump. He seemed rather

with hands which were not quite

ied hia pail of water on the ground,
and went and sat down on the
stump again. He looked cold and
cross and uneasy, and anything but
heroic; but there was a new-found
warmth within him.
There was quite a crowd about
the place half an hour later, looking
at the blackened Remains of the
line fence—several men, attracted
by the flames, and a few women
hastily wrapped up.
Mr. Talcott bad a good deal to
say about the way it had happened.
He said a bonfire was o plagued

going to do; you couldn’t feel safe
with one if you didn’t, watch it ev

flcaoy of water when once a fire
had got started, and pointed to the
empty pail, where it lay on the
ground, in conclusive proof of the
point
Mr. Long had come out and
watched the conflagration from a
discreet distance. But he had
drawn gradually closer, till he fin
ally stood poking over the warm
cinders with one foot. Mr. Talcott
stood near by. They did not look
at each other for a moment. Then

high and sharp by the greatness of

“Went down jest like paper,” he
said. “I guess there couldn’t any
body a-stopped it I coulin’t do
anything against it—nothing at

this some of the dignity he had
lost in his own conception; he look
ed relieved.
His neighbor did not reply di
rectly. The darkness hid his soft
ened perturbed expression, and he
was not the person to make it man
ifest. His tone, when he spoke,
was composed and even .tonde-
scending.
“According to law,” he said, “I
s’pose I’m called on to put up the
next one. I s’pose I might do it
any time; I ain’t so terrible busy
jest as present.”
“Well,” said Mr. Talcott, looking
down the garden, “I ruther guess
you better build a picket. I guess a
picket ’d do full as well. You

Editorship.
Some people estimate tbe ability
of a periodical and the talent of its
editor by the quality of its original
matter. It is comparatively an
easy task for a frothy writer to
string out a column of words upon
any and all subjects. His ideas
may flow in one weak, washy, ever
lasting flood, and tbe command of
hia language may enable him to
string them together like bnnehes
of onions, and yet his paper may be
but a meagre and poor concern.
Indeed, tbe mere writing part of
editing a paper is but a small por
tion of tbe work. The care, the
time employed iu selecting, is far
pore important, and tne fact ol «
good editor is better shown by bis
selections than anything eiae; and
that, we know, is half the battle.
But we have said, an editor ought
to be estimated, hia labor under
stood and appreciated, by tbe gen
eral conduct ot bis paper—ita tone,
its uniform, consistent course, aims,
manliness, dignity, and its proprie
ty.—Courier-Journal.

story ot hia life might be written in
letters of gold and handed down to
future generations for their emula
tion. It fihows the difference be
tween the exalted statesmen and
the self-seeking politician. It
proves that patriotism and parity
have a more lasting hold than po
sition and power on the love and
admiration of the people.
Horatio Seymour was a man of
rare qualities. His Democracy
was pronounced and earnest, and
yet he had remarkable independ
ence and originality of thought ou
public questions. But he always
sought to work through and with
his party and to lead it with him
in what he believed to be the right
path. Hence he never lost the
confidence and affection ef any
portion or faction of the great
Democracy, and in the local dissen
sions in this city, hitter and enven
omed as they sometimes were, his
name was talisman by which order
could always be brought out of
chaos and harmony be invoked to
replace discord.
It is no exageration to say that
the virtues, tbe sagacity and the
influence of Horatio Seymour did
much to keep the Democratic party
in existence through the long peri
od during which it was excluded
from any share in the public serv
ice and cruelly misrepresented and
maligned by a powerful and un
scrupulous enemy.
Pearls or Thought.
Walk as if you were concious
that your body had a soul in It.
If a life will hear examination in
every hour of it it is very pure in
deed.
If any one says ill of you, let your
life be so that no one will believe
him.
He who strives after a long and
pleasant form of life must seek to
attain continued equanimity.
“We never see a tear in tbe eye,”
says a celebrated writer “but we
are reminded of a wai m heart.”
Whatever else we neglect, let us
keep up the habit of communion
with God. Prayer is the key ot
the position.
If a man empties his purse into
his head, no roan can take it from
him. An investment in knowledge
always pays the best interest.
Let every man take care how he
writes of honest people, and not set
down at a venture the first thing
that comes uppermost.
Thd man who is suspicious lives
in a constant state of unhappiness.
It would be better for the peace ot
his mind if he was too trustful than
to be too guarded.
If thy friends be of better quality
than thyself, thou mayest be sure
of two things: The first that they
will be sure to keep thy counsel,
because they have much more to
lose than thou hast; the second
they will esteem thee for thyself
and not for what thou doth possess.

It is no longer fashionable with

are the girls of the coming gener
ation actuated by the inane desire
to appear fragile and genteel at the
expense of health. The scores of

ample evidence of the truth of the
assertion. No longer do the fair
ones seem wan and pale to look up
on, nor it their style of locomotion
suggestive to an effort; but on the
contrary nearly all seem strong and
lithe of iimb, and with cheeks suf
fused with a ruddy glow of health.
Tbe doctors generally agree that
there is less sickness among that
sex than has formerly been the
case, and this could be attributed
to the glorious practice young la
dies have of late acquired of test
ing their capabilities as pedestrians
and in engaging in other forms of
light physical exercise. It is hoped
that the good work will go. on.
