E. R DORSEY, General Passenger Agent. Jen 27, lot. 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.— Exchange. .farm anb fjomc.

Thut lie is purely mecennry it would be hardly fair to say ; for most men can be flattered into liking, if not into Jove, and Jimmy certainly ,0 can hardly help being flattered. Very few meu exirt but ora a little infla ted by the evident liking and even admirution of a pretty and attrac-1 tractive girl; but when there is so great a difference in sooial poaition ; iu wealth and everything else as in three two, we must look for more age and experience than Jimmie had to keep his heud from being turned. Being turned, it is easy to see why it should faucy it was the heart, and almost to think itself in love ni easily Etta has been. And now we will drop the curtain lor u few weeks, to raise it again dur ing the early fall iu Cleveland. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Tea leaves, used for keeping down the dust when sweeping car pets, are apt to stain light colors; salt is tho best in tho winter and now-mown hay in summer. To dream gloriously you must act gloriously, while you are awuko ; and to bring angels down to con verse with you in your sleep, you must labor in tho cause of virtuo during the day. Men resemble the gods iu noth ing so much as in doing good to their fellow-creatures. Charms strike the night, but mer it wins the soul. Wo cannot be truly rich nor long rich with that which ia dishonestly gained. The best known preventive for falling hair is American petroleum. It should be nibbed on tho head quiokly with the palm of the hand. In all it should be ased six or sov- en times, at an interval of three days.

If men would spend in doing good to others a quarter of the time and money they spend in do ing harm to themselves, misery would vanish irom the earth. 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.
