liILL AND THE WIDOW.
ing “Wife,” said Ed. Wilber one morn¬
as he sat stirring his coffee with
one hand and holding a plum cake on
Ids knee with (ho other, and looked
across the table into the bright eyes
of his neat little wife, ““wouldn't it he
a good joke to get bachelor Bill Smi

then it wouldn't be much under the
circumstances, for 1 know she likes

you say, he is so shy. I'll just go over
to Ids place to borrow some bags frolii
him, and if I don't bag him before 1
come back don't kiss me for a week,
Nelly.”
So saying, Ed. started, and while he
is mowing the fields we will taken
look at Bill Smiley, lie was rather a
good looking fellow, though his luiir
and whiskers showed some gray hail
and he had got in a set of artificial
teeth. But every one said lie was a
good soul, and so he was. Jie had as
good a hundred acre farm as anybody,
with a new bouse and everything
comfortable, anil if he had. wanted a
jumped wife many the a good chance girl like would have
at a rooster at
a grasshopper. But Bill was so bash¬
ful—always Berry bottle, was—and when Susan
that he was sweet on
(though be never said “boo” to her)
got married to old Wat.-on, lie just
drawed in his head like a mud-turtle
into a shell and there was no getting
him out again, though it had been no¬
ticed that since Susan had become a
widow he had paid more attention to
ids dollies and had been very regular
in his attendance at the church that
the fair widow attended.
‘•tint here conies Ed. Wilber.”
“Good morning, Mr. Smiley!”
‘•<inod morning, Mr. Wilber, what’s

'stop!” But. stop lie would not, but
wont oft* at a spanking pace With the
unfortunate bachelor alter him and
the little dog yelping after the bache¬
lor. Bill was certainly in splendid
ed running costum, but though he strain¬
every nerve he could not touch the
buggy dragging or reach the lines that were
wliile on the ground. After a
hi* plug hut shook off (he seat
and the hind wheel went over it.
mashing it as Hat as a pancake. Bill
snatched it nx his'ran, and after j mi
miug ids fist through if, stuck it, all
dusty and dimpled, on his head. And
now he saw the widow’s house on the
hill, and what, oh, what would he do?
Then his coat fell out and he slipped
it on, then making a desperate spurt
lie clutched the back of the seat and
scrambled in, and pulling the heavy
robe over hi- legs, stuffed the other
things beneath.
Now the horse happened to be one
that lie got from Squire Moore, and
lie got it from the widow, and he took
it into his head to stop at her gate,
which Bill had no power to prevent,
as he had no possession of the reins,
besides lit; was too btisv buttoning his
eoat up to his chin to think of doing
much else. The widow heart! the rat¬
tle of the wheels and looked out, and
seeing that it was Mr. Smiley, and
that he did not oiler to get out, she
went to the gate to see what lie want¬
ed. and there she stood chatting, with
white arms on the top of the gate,
with her smiling face turned right to
him, while the cold chills ran down
his shirt less back clear to his bare
feet beneath the hutliilo robe and the
water from Ids hair and the du-t from
his hat combined to make some nice
little streams of mud that came trick¬
ling down Ids face. She asked him to
come in. “No, he was in a hurry,’ lie
said. did Still lie like- did not a-k oiler her to go! lie
not not to to pick up
the reins for him because lie did not
know what excuse to make for not
doing down so himself. Then he looked
the road behind him and saw a
white faced horse coming.am! at once
surmising that it was that of (Jus
Suck rider coming, he resolved to do
or die. and hurriedly told his errand.
The widow would he delighted to go,
of course she would. But wouldn't
lie come in. No, he was in a hurry
he said; laid to go on to t he < J rev n
place.
‘Dli,’ said tho widow, “you’re going
to Mr. Green's are you? Why, I was
just going there mysclfto gel one of
the girls in help me quilt some, .lust
wait a second while I get my bonnet
and shawl and !*!! ride with you.’—
And away siic kipped.
“Thunder am! lightning!' said Bill,
‘what a sempe !* and he hastily
ed his pants from between ids ■et.
and prepared to wriggle into
when a light wagon drawn by the
white faced horse, driven by a hoy,
'■note along and .-.lopped beside, him.
The hoy held up a pair of hoots in
one hand and the sock* in the other,
and just as the widow iclicd tlu*
gate again, he said : ‘Here’s yom
bool-, and sicks, Mr. Smiley, that you
1**11 on the bridge w hen you was in
swimming.*
•You're mistaken, they are not
mine.’
‘Why. aic'iif you the man that had
tiie rsu e after the horse just now ?’
“No ir. I .mi not you had better
go on ahullt your business."
Bill sighed at the lo.-s of his Sunday
hoots, and turning to the widow said :
xliisl pick up ihc lines, y, ip you please,
this brute of a-hor.-c is fore\ or >w itch¬
ing them out of nn hand.* The wid¬
ow ( (implied, and then lie pulled one
corner of Hie rope '“.mtioM-lv down
and -he got in.
“TV hat a lovely evening,' said she.
‘and so warm, I don't tGink we need
the folre do we -a

“(Hi my !' s;C r I Bill earn, v, ‘you 11
find it r- l ing, and wonld'nt

She seemed pleased at his tender
care for her health, ti ml contented her¬
self with sticking one of her little feel
out, with.a long silk necktie over one
end *ff it.
“’That is that Mr. Smiley, si neck¬
tie?’
‘Ye I bought it the other dav and
ntti-t have left it in the buggy, Nev
cr mind it.’
•But it was so careless,’and -looping
over she picked it up and made a
motion to stlitf it between them.
Bill felt her hand going down, ami
making a tin itier it. clntel ■ d it in
his hiintl and held it liar,t anti fast.

them. 1 don’t know how it will end:

not dispute the eorreetnes.s of Mr.,

that if General Grant is really oppos¬
