A SERENADE. “Matty’s got a beau!” said Mrs. Hall, in a sort of stage whisper, as she spread out the various sections of her half completed patchwork bel-quilt before the admiring eyes of Mr3. Peckham, her neighbor. ‘ Keepin’ reg’iar company I” “La me!” said Mrs. Peckham, at once losing all intero>t in tho “Irish ch in” pattern aud staring full in the face of Mrs. Hall. “Who is it?” “I dunno’s I’d orter tod.” “Oh, yes, do! I won’t mention it to a livin’ soul. You liadu’t orter Lev mysteries from me, as has been a neigh¬ bor to you so long.” “You’re sure you won’t tell?” “Yes, sartin sure.’’ “Well, then, it s Martin Paley.” “Well, I never!” said Mrs. Peckham. “Me aud Louisy, we’ve wondered this long time why Martin didn’t marry and settle down, with such a nice farm as lie’s got—leal store carpets on the floor, and a new cookiu’-stovc, with a water boiler to the back on’t, aud everything. And a nice, good-tempered fedow, too, as ever lived!” she added, with a sigh. “I suppose,” said Mrs. Hall, with modest piide, “it ain't every g.rl would suit Murtin. ’ “Day set yet?” said Mrs. Peckham, her spectacle glasses all a-ghtter with curiosity. “Bless me, it ain’t got so fur a? that yeti’ declared Mrs. Hall. “I didn’t say he'd propose, did 1? I only said he was cornin’ Sunday even in’s.” “Oh!” said Mrs. Peckham. “But ot course,” added the mother of Matty, “everybody knows what that means. And t o next time Ig> to Bud port 1 shall bo sort o’ lookin’ out for bargains in dove-colored silks.” “I supposed it would be just as well,” said Mrs. Peckham, wistfully. “Louisy huin't no notion of gettin’ settled, has she?'' hazarded M s. Hall, in the height of her satisfaction. “Not that I know of.” “Well, you mustn’t give up,’’sail Mrs. Hall. “I’ve known girls marry — and marry well, too—after they was older than Louisy is.” Mrs. Peckham bit her lip. “Louisy ain’t so very old!” said she. “She’s thirty, aiu’t she?” “Yes; but I don’t call that dying of old age!” retorted Mrs. Peckham. “Matty aiu’t but three-and-twenty,” complacently observed Mrs. Hall. “But our family always did marry early.” Mrs. Peckham rose. “I guess I'd belter bo going,” said she, n little nettled. “That walk across the niedder is awful hot alter tho sun gets high.” Mrs. Hull looked after her with a half-suppressed smile as she trudged down the real, a subdued brown speck on the summer brghtaesi of the land¬ scape. “She’sdreadful jealous’cau oLouisy’s booked for single blessedness 1 ’ said sho, chuckling. ‘ Louisy, indeed—a washed-out, red-haired old maid! No more to be compare 1 with our Matty than a cabbage-stalk with a rose! ’ While Matilda herself, dusting the furniture in the best room, looked crit¬ ically at the well-wora figures on the eai p :t. “Ma,” said she, ‘Wo must have a new carpet this fall. This aiu’t hardly defeat when a girl has steady com¬ pany.” “Idunno what your father’ll say, Matty,” said Mrs. II ill, coming in from the kitchen with a fried cruller impaled on the end of her fork. “Pa hasn’t no business to be so stingy,” said Matilda. She was a b!ack-cyed, red-cheeked girl, with ebon hair growing low on her forehead, and a certain air of domineer¬ ing command which comported well with her clear, p n c- an i- white beauty. Mrs. Had looked admiringly at her daughter. “I guess likely he’ll let you have your own way,” said she. “You al ways was a great ha id to coax, Just taste o' this 'ego fried cake, Matty. 1 ain’t certain whether I’ve got enough cinwamon ipto tho dough.” Meanwhile, Mrs. Peckham had reached the littie wooden house on the edge of the swamp, where her grand - daughter Louisa was banning out the clothes of the week’s wash—a tall, slight girl, with large gray eyes, rather a col orless complexion, and liair of that bright Rubens gold that Jlrs. Peckham bad miscalled “red.” “It's true, Louisy,” said the old wo¬ man, rather spiritlessly.” “What'strue, granny?” “About Mtrtia Paley and Matty Hall." “Well,” with a quick twitch of the upper lip, “why shouldn't it be true!” “I sort o’ thought one time, L ouisy, 1 that he was partial to you?” Lou sa laughed, not a bad imitation j of careless in inference. ‘ Partial! ’ said she. ‘-He called a few times, that was all. I ain’t a beauty, you know, like Matilda Hall. But when she came ia to put to boil the frugal dinner, her eyes looked sus piciousfy "away, red; and after the dishes her were cleaiei she went up to own room, took a withered rose-bud or out of her little Testament ami them out of the window, murmuring to herself: “What a fool I have been (o keep them so long!” The pleasant dusk of the nest sunset was purpling the hids when Mr- Hall called shrilly to her daughter from the spare chamber up sta.rs: “Matty! Matty! there’s ono o’them bothering hand-organ men cornin’ up the path. Scad him away-quick! Mrs. Deacon Dolby lost one of b* grandmothers silver teaspoons last week, and— ■ i Matilda, who was ironing out her one embroidered pocket-handkerchief, set the iron back on the stove and ran to obey the maternal behest. The broom, unfortunately, wai not in its place, ns uiua!, but the kitchen mop was tho next handiest weapon that presented itself. She caught it up a ? 1 brandished it at the doer like a mod cm Amazon. “Be off about your business!” she cried, in a voice to tho full as fhrill and sharp as that of h:r mother, •We don’t want no shiftless loafers about here!” The wandering musician hesitated, but Matilda brooked no delay. ‘‘Clear out, Isay!” she cried, dex trously flinging the implement of house¬ hold skill at the marauder. It whirled once or twice through the air, and finally buried itself in the hedge of gooseberry bushes beyond. The man with the organ beat a hasty retreat. Matty returned to her ironing, and Mrs. I la’ l laughel aloud from her van¬ tage point above stairs. “I guess you settled his business for him, Matty,” said she, gleefully. “I’ve no patience with no such vaga¬ bonds,” slid Matilda, folding up tho handkerchief. Louisa Peckham was working button¬ holes in a vest—it was the way site earned her living—by the light of a shaded lam]) some twenty minutes later, when there came a knock at the door, and who should walk in but Mar¬ tin Palov. “Good-evening, Louisa,” sad he. “I didn’t know as I should find you at home.” “1 ain’t often away lrom home,” said Louisa, coloring a soft flesh-pink, that made her for tho moment almost beauti¬ ful. “Sit down, Martin, won’t you?” “I can’t stay but a little while,’’ said Martin. “I've corao on an errand. I want to know if you will marry me, Louis y.” “Marry you!” The needle dropped from Louisa’s iin gers. “I know it must seem sudden-like.” apologized Martin, “but I’ve made up my mind sudden-like. A man always does, I suppose, at the last. Will you marry me, Louisy?” “Why—VI s—I suppose so,” shyly acquiesced Louisa, protending to search for the missing needle—“if you really mean it, Martin, that ij. ” “I do,” sai l Martin, “with nil my heart and soul. ” “But I thought you was keeping com¬ pany with Matilda Hall?” “I did go there consul’able,” con¬ fessed Martin, “but I sort o’ suspicion she wouldn’t suit me like you would, Louisy. So it’s a bargain, is it?” And when he went away, he stopped a minute to take something out of the big cluster of black currant bushes by the gate. “Why, what’s that?” said Louisa who hal followed him out. “A trunk?” ‘ N-no,” confessed Martin, reddening even in the starlight. “It’s a hand-or¬ gan. ” “A—hand- organ 1” “Well,’’ said Martin, laughing rather shamefacedly, “I may as well own up, Louisy. It won’t do for me to have any secret from you, I s’pose, arter tonight. But there was a poor, wornout Italian fellow came to my house this evening with his monkey, and sai l the ltadn’ had no luck all day. And so I give him some supper and a bed in the barn, and I just borrowed the orgin fora lit tie while. I though: it would be a good idea to serenade with.” “To serenade! But, Martin, you diJn’t serenade me! ’ “N-no,” said Martin. “I changed my mind. But the tu»;a are real pretty, Liuis,-. There’s ‘Annie Laurie,’ and ‘Home, Sweet Home,’ and ‘Twicken¬ ham Fery, ’ and lots like that. Don't you want me to play some for you; “Dj!” said L>uiiy. “I'm real fond of music.” Out there in tin starlight, the obl fadiiuaed strains of music sounded so plaintively that even Grandmother Peckham opened her upstairs casement to listen. l Louisa h»<l never been “serenaded” before. She thought it was like a page ; out of the “Arabian Nights. ’ And honest Martin did not regret his j hospitality to the poor, tire 1 organ grinder, who, with his monkey, Jay coiled up, fast asleep, on the bay in the barn-loft at Paley Farm. But Matty Hail’s “steady company did not come back to her. She could not imagine why, when she dressed her >elf evening after evening, and sat in the best room by the big lamp with tho silk shade, nobody rewarded her per¬ sistency. And one afternoon Mrs. Peckham came over with a iir of Morelia cherries which she bad j “-. preserved. “I knowed you like preserves,” said she, “Here’s one of our'n. Br-th* way, L ui-v was married yesterday.” “Married!” cchoel Mrs. Hall. • •Yes—quite quiet-like,” said the grandmother. “To Mirtin Paley.” Mrs. Hall turned a dull tallowy white. She could hardly believe her ears. And all the time Martin Paley was saying to himself: “Haven’t lhal a lucky escapa from marrying a woman with a temper like that!” There are soma mysteries which will remain forever unsolved; an l to the day of her death Matilda Hall will pjbbably never know how it was that 9he failed to become Mrs. Martin Pa ley. —Saturday Aright. -- ---- - Facts About Fish. The light ha, a great deal to do with the color of li.-h. Small-mouthed black bass caught out of holes six or eight feet deep are dark in color. On placed in the aquarium they change to a light mottled green. The channel catfish, contrary as usual, come out of the river a pale greenish blue. After they have bee# exposed to the light of te aqaanum ey urn o to co or o blue black velvet. The famed fish of the Mammoth Cave show every indica¬ tion of being catfish for generations re¬ moved from all light. They have no color at all, their bodies being transparent. Small-mouthed black bass are by all means the best aquarium pets. Besides being the most lively aud intel¬ ligent, they arc the most hardy. The large-mouthed bass makes his homo in quiet ponds, and he is not fitted for the fierce contests of aquarium life, fie is easily wounded and his iujaries usuaPy prove fatal. The small-mouthed bass easily recovers from being caught in the upper or lower lip with a hook. A similar wound on a catfish generally festers and often kills. Tho carp is a pretty good fellow. In the hustle for food he generally gets left. The rea-on he does not feel on minnows in his natural state is not, as is generally sup¬ posed, because ho does not iike them, but for the more substantial reason that he cannot catch them.

Three Rude Scamps Well Answered. Two or three idle young men were lounging around a street corner the other evening just as the flown town stores weresending home their employes. “Let’s have some fun with lhe girls,” said the ringleader of the trio, “See that girl in tlic front’seat of the grips Let’s speak to her.” Then, ns tLo cai stopped at the corner, the impudent fellow tipped hi* hat, with, “Why, how do you do, Kitty Johnson!” “Why, says another, “if that isu’t Kitty John¬ son!” “IIow d’ve do, Kitty I” said the third. The young la ly, a ycuug, pretty, ladylike girl was surprised utid indig. riant. Her face grew red and white by turns. Most of the passengers under¬ stood the situati n. Finally, the girl, her eyes twinkling with merriment, and conscious of tlie support of her fellow passengers, nnswered in a clear, ringing voice that every passenger could hear, “Why, liow do you do, Tom, Dick aud Harry! When did you get out of jail? Who went bail for you all!” The car started up amid a storm of applause, while the dudes oil tho corner smiled sickly grins at each other .—Chicago Journal. To Prevent Mosquito Bites. Bjil a quart of tar until it becomes quite thin, remove the clothing, aud be¬ fore the tar becomes perfectly cool, with a brood, fia: brush, apply a smooth coat¬ ing to the entire surface of the body aud limbs. While the tar remains soft tho insects may become entangled in its treacherous fold-, thus 1 ecoming per¬ fectly harmless; but it will soon form a hard, smooth coating over the entire body, entirely impervious to their bites. Should it crack at the knee or elbow j /ints, it is only necessary to retouch the fractured spots. The whole coat should be reaewe 1 every four weeks.

Mere than 130 years ago, Reaumur, observing that clothing moths never at tacked the wool and hair on iivingaui ma ] s> inferred that the natural odor of the wool> Qr of tha oilv maKer in it> was distaste ul to them Consequently, he robbej wiou , garm3nts WItU tbe * wool of fre3h ,^ U ., and aUo wet ottu r gar . mcnts wilh the water wUi( , :i wool haJ ^ waghcd| and fouud that they wcre neyer attacked by moths .

C'he ts of cedar or sprigs of this tree are so disagreeable to them that they will not deposit their eggs where this odor is at all strong; but should the eggs be laid before the gar¬ ments are packed away, the odor will not prevent the hatching of the eggs nor the destructive work of the larvae afterward. Clothing may also be pro¬ tected from moths by packing it in stout cotton or paper bags made per¬ fectly tight, but this must be done be¬ fore the moths appear on the wing.— Commercial Advertiser.
