BY EDWARD J. 8HRIVNER.
It ia u quiet summer afternoon,
and the valley in the Ontskills where
we And ourselves lies in perfect still
ness; the skiff that monopolises Ike
little lake moving gently along with
out a ripple to meke pretenee of liar
riug ill progress. Brownfields is a
delightful place, but if it were not
fur the visitors with whom the Peters
fill their house In the summer, lone
ly enough to be called wild. With
the Peters and their friends, and
with the groups of workmen tbnt
Mr. Peters forges hare gathered in
the valley, we have little to do; but
will turn again to look nt the fisher*
boy, the sole occupant of the b n at.
Jimmie Gordon is ambitious, and
for the son of an Irish workman—
the foreman at one of the shops—is
well educated and refined. Mr. More*
a city clergymiu who spent some of
his vacations at Brownfields, was
struck with his quick native shrewd
ness, and, taking an interest in him,
loaned him books, talked witk him,
helped him orally while in the moun
tains, and nfterward by correspond
ence; and Jimmie’s own intilligence
and earnest application^ have done
the rest; so that wheu we meet him
as Mr. Peters’fisherman, he not only
intends, with a true American san-
guineuess, to rise, but is far better
equipped for the battle he has enlist”
ed in than many even who sturt on
a good deni higher plane. Mean
while he uttends strictly to business,
and to-day, when we find him on. Autiskfisih
the lake, has finished his fisbinf'Wr r | )er at t | 1 ( a
the day, and is idly sculling about,
thinking of that better fortune that
be hus resolved shall be his in time*
and wondering in what shape the
fates will bring it to him.
Miss E tta Lartou does not in the
least look like a Fate as she comes
down the lull-path with her oonsin,
George Lurton, aud their mutuul
friend, Hurry Ellis; in fact, we are
very much inclined to agree with
George when he thinks of her to day
as much more of a Grace; but if
she is not a Fate herself she is oer
tumly a notuble instrument of their
will. They are all three stopp ug
with a large party at Montrose, the
nearest apology for a town, and this
full four miles uwuy. Miss Lnrton,
however, “goes in” for walking as
the proper thing in the mountains,
and rather against the will of her es
corts, has cover.d the whole four
miles on foot, and is till fresh and
ready for adventures when she enters
the little Brownfields valley. Rather
dark, of medium height, and in stnr-
dy gaod health, shall be the whole
of her personal description ; aud for
her “state in life” it will be enough
to say that she is the only daughter
of the righeat man in Cleveland, and
so of course spoiled, but witba’, very
fascinating, as Cousin George can
testify. She is given to whims, aud
just now the fancy that strikes her
is to liuve a row on the clear little
lake that is so invitingly laid out
below, so that the one duty of her
obedient companions is to find the
ways and means; not altogether an
easy task, seeing that nil the bouts
are carefully locked up, except the
one that Jimmie and his fish use
with not the best effects as to clean
liness. Still, as it is cite only one, it
must be bad,and Jimmie, in response
to Lartou’s n quest, immediately
rows up and takes the party, Miss
Etta in the stern and in full view of
the liundsoine boutumu.
Is there such a thing us love at
first sight? Surely ; and before thre
trip around the lake is finished, Et
ta is completely conquered by Ihe
blue eyes of this Irish fisher lad. Go
his part he felt the natural attrac
tion toward a lovely girl that any
man would, but Dever expecting to
her again any more than other
ohance visitors who have happend to
row over the lake, he hardly (hinka
of her as more to him than a beau
tiful picture. If for a second any
thing furtthcr had entered his mind,
he would instantly have dismissed
it as an absurd crying lor the moon*
But Etta is not used to giving up
h«t whims so easily. No sooner had
she discovered that she liked his
looks thsn she mude up her mind ta
see more of him ; and when Jimmie,
after explaining all the surroundings
of the bike, lands them, and some
how impresses on them the convic
tion that he is not the sort of person
to fee, she takes her cousin aside, and
persuades him u little against his
will to try and make a return for
his politeness by asking him to (he
hop at the Montrose hotel the next
week.
And now opens the new era in our
hero’s life, lie is quite good-looking
enough and ‘nic:’ enough not to Beem
out of place in a frock-coat; and by
careful use of his own and brother’s
best clothes, he is able to appesr nt
the hotel quite correctly a'lired for
a country hop, and so far from flud
ing Etta’s infatuation vanished as
suddenly as it was born, she seems
worse thsn before. Going to meet
him as he enters the room, with an
eager, bright smile, she quickly ex
claims :
“Then you liavn’t failed us?”
“Why, no ; sun lv I wouldn’t miss
such a chance as this.” And then
suddenly reflecting that it would be
best to modify this, he adds, “and of
seeing you.”
of pleasure comes to
first sign of admira
tion from him, aud all her habitual
coquettery norms to ubet the cut ions
folly that has taken such a hold on
her.
“No,’’ said Jimmie, “I enjoyed my
row too muoh the other day not
come to this hop. Do you know
that I haved lived by that lake all my
life, and never knew how beautiful
it was before last Friday F”
“Then this is really your hotra?
We were wondering whether you be
longed here, or were only a visitor.”’
At this palpable attempt to pump
him he was silent for a moment; but
thinking it best to seem candid, be
answered:
“Yes I was born and raised here.”
Then, smilingly, “I’m only a coun
try boy, you know. You may be
sure, though, not too much ol an ose
to thank you for your kindness lo
me.’
Little as he yet understands the
full extent of his influence over her,
and thinking that she only takes
some such tuterest in him as Mr-
Moore has, he yet feels thut he must
not shock this rich young lady with
the full truth about himself—that
he is only a poor workmau’s son ;
and, to avoid more inquiries, at once
usks far the dance just commencing.
When the couple follow this up by
another and still another, the Lartons
begin to talk, but all look on it as a
flirtMtion at which Etta is amusing
herself at this country boy’s expense,
and Mrs. Lurton cl easy going wo
man, not especially reluctant to see
Etia— who is only a step daughter
get herself into scrapes, makes no at
tempts to interfere.
George Larton alone gains u little
clearer sight from his intense jeal
ousy, the natural result of his long
and painful suit. Rither dissipated
when very young, the lather’s con
sent has only lv en won after a nio*t
earnest siege and renewed proofs of
reform, and when at last obtained,
hus by no means brought with it Et
ta,s love. At thirty he is not even
ou trial, aod has a morbid hatred for
any man who seems to be receiving
the least favor.
Hurrying across the room to claim
the next dance, which is due him,
and he is doubly infuriated at Ettu’s
quiet rtfufil.
“O George ! I am very sorry, but
I forgot you, I have promised this to
Mr. Gordon.”
‘I urn sorry too” wis the angry rc
ply, “to deprive Mr. Gordon of your
society, as this will be his last chance
of seeing you , but I wish partiularly
to speak to you nt once.”
A little scared at his manner,
•he takes his arm pettishly and turns
away wi h him saving:
“The next shall be yours, then Mr.
Gordon.”
“Etta, ’ exclnimed George “you
positively must not dance with that
fellow again. I am acting in the
place of your father now, and cannot
see you flirting publicly with a man
who is not a fit associate for you,
and beoomiug the talk of the entire
room.”
Very well; I consider ’this fel
low’ a fit associate lor me or for you,
aud as 1 never was kept from doing
whut I pleased by people’s talking,
you won’t frighten me iu that
way.’*
And so he has killed his own hope.
Housing all her feminine and individ
ual perversity, the only result of his
protest is to see her spend the most
of the evening with Jimmy; to see
him brought up to Mrs. Larton, and
oapturing her as effecually as her
daughter with his sunny blue eyes
and stuidy, handsome face, to beur
him invited to Cleveland.
In the midst of it ull Jimmie’s
special benefit must expeot to pay for
the same. Every publio spirited oiti*
r.en of a place should have a pride ia
seeing his town and surrounding!
improve; every new house, every new
road, every new manufacturing es-
tublislimcnt erected, every new bnsi
ness opened, enhanoet the value of
property in our midst. Every re
flecting mind knows this to be true,
and it shonld not be forgotten that
the local newspaper adds much to
the general wodth and prosperity of
the place, ms well as increases the
reputation of the town abroad. It
beneUte all who have bueiness in the
place, enhanoes the value of proper
ty, besides being a desirable publio
convenience, even if not conducted
in the interest of the rulipg political
power. It incieases trade, it cau
tions against imposition, it save! yon
from loss, it warns yon of danger, it
points out different advantages, and
increases your profits. The local
press is the power that moves the
people; therefore support it by sub
scribing for it and paying for it.—

THE LOCAL PAPER.
Its Necessity to tlie People.
The columns ol a papear are the
publisher’s stock in trade, and the
parties who ask to use them for their
Omelettes.—When eggs are
available omelettes are about the
easiest dish that can be made in
haste ; and, as many cooks fail to
produce good ones, we give a few
simple directions for making them.
If the pan is hot and buttered, tbs
eggs properly beaten, and the ome
lette handled qnickly and lightly,
it will be excellent; and the possi
bility of combining a variety of
ingredients in the dish increases
its advantages.
Tho following is said to to be a
cheap and true barometer: Put n
small quantity of pulverized alum
iu a long half-ounce bottle, and fill
it with spirits ot wine. When the
atmosphere is clear - and dry tho
spirits will be as clear as a crystal,
but on the approach of rain or bad
weathor the alum will raise in tho
form of a spirit cloud, whioh is aa
infallible indication of rain or bad
weather.
