WINNING A WIDOW. kv HKu.N koiuikht onavF.s. “Jotham!" quoth Mr. Wiggleton, to his chief i:irm-hn :d. “Well, what’s wantin’!" lazily rc aponded Jotham Ifurdcastle, with u h»l!-m irticoto I straw between liis teeth, ns lie looked up from the bit of Iiarno,* he was mending. “ The Wnl w I’nimleaf has taken that cottage nt tho foot of the lino.” “Toll mo something I didn’t know afore," said Jotham, with more freedom ban rovoronco in bis manner. “Aud if she sands up to borrow the mkr, or tbs hoe, or tho spate—” “Well, what then?" “Til. her sho can’thsvs’om. Wornon »re always borrowing. T know Iiobart Paimlaaf whoa ho was nliv >; lm wus a chronic borrower. I don’t want any¬ thing to do with hi* widow," “All light," obiorvod Jotham, philo¬ sophically; and his master returned tho perusal ot hi* newspaper onco more. “Jilhsai 1’* said Sir. Wiggloton, about ten days afterward, as ho cimo in, boated and out of breath from a ssndk. (SI. Wiggleton wasn’t os spry «s ho had Ixon bo loro hii flvo-a id -for tioth birthday, and tho Locust Hill «*nt a pretty steep ascont). “Well, what now?’ *1 wonder if that was tho Widow I’almloaf 1 sa w gathering block berries into a basket by tho south wall of the cottago garden?'' •’ Kind o’ slim and tall!" “Ye*.” “Bine eyes, and hair os shiny ns ■atlc?" “Yes.” “A il a littlo white parasol, lined with pink?’’ “Yes." “ll ckon likely it was,” said J> tham. “But,” pcr'Utod tho purz ed Innd •wner, Jhho doesn't look ut alt ^ ’ “■J l.i re’s ns much difference in widow* a* there i* in other folk',” oh served J >thaiu, dryly. M n ' i W letOU waS ‘ ilont for a minute or two. “Jothsmi' lie finally said. “Well?" ■“H i* she sent to borrow anything?’ “Sent yesterday forenoon—aiked if we had a screw-driver to lend—-tho lung i was coinin’ loom on tho garden gate." “And what did you tell her?” “Said my order was coutrary wiso to leadin' or borrowin'.’’ “Jotham, you are a fool" “ T.iin’t tho first timo you vj said s \ and ’tamt the first timo you'vo been wrom-,’' said Jotham, with a calmness of demeanor that was beautiful to be hold, •'Hard words is considered in tho wag utul 1 ain't tho man to find fau'-t. I only did as you toed roe. “Yc«, but Jethiui—never mind—the next time she scuds, let her have what¬ ever »'lO wants." “Slid somethin* about wantin’ a man to come an J hos them early potatoes. Its 1 to “Certiinly—of courses should net iika neighbors, especially in the country." And Mr. Wiggleton sighed nnd wished that he was not too corpulent nnd urun - d to labor to hoe the Widow Palmira’s ea-ly potatoes himself. But ho did the next best thing; he went ov r to look at the field after Jotham had hoed it, and gave the widow good advice concerning a cer¬ tain rocky uphill lit of sheep-pasture that belonged to the cottage farm. “I'd lay that down in winter rye, if I wore you, ma’am,” said Air. IVig gietoa. “I ara so much ob’lged to you,” said the widow, vwi ct y. • "Since poor dear Hobart an taken away I have no one to advise me on these subjects.” And Mr. Wiggleton thought how soft wad pretty her blue eyes looked as she •poke. **Oh, pthnsv 1" said Jotham, leaning THE DEMOCRAT,’ CRAWFORDVILLE. GEORGIA. on the handle of hi* hoo, “winter rye ain’t tho sort o’ crop for that spot. Spring wheat’s tho onJy thing to grow thorn." •II Ail your tongue, Jotham!” cried iii» employer, teitiiy. “Y a, sir, I ■will," said Jotham, with a broad grin over Mr. Wigglcton’s shi . ing bald head. “And about tbeso hyacinth beds, ma'am," tail tho latter, recovering his equanimity, “I’ll como over thil evon i ig if you will allow mo--.” “I shall be delighted," interrupted tiro widow, with a smile that showed a set of tooth as white and regular as pearls. “This evening, ma’am," repoated Mr. Wiggloton, with a bow, “and we'1! sketch out a diagram, ilyocinths have to bo humored, Mrs. Palml i>f." “So I have always heard,” said the wi low. That evening, after Mr, Wiggleton had rcturna l from discussing the mo¬ mentous question of sandy soil, bulbous roots and crescents and circles, ho foil 1 Jotham on the front porch con¬ tentedly breathing tho flower scented air. “A very pretty woman, that Mrs. I’nimleaf, Jotham," said tho employer; not because thero was any special con¬ geniality i f soul between hinnelf and his farm-hand, but because ho could have tdko l to the gate-posts if Jotham hadn’t happened to bo tlure. “Well, nobody doubts that, ns ever I heard or," sail Jotham, with hii o'. bow3 on his knees, and hu fnco com¬ placently turned toward tho full moon. “And she can’t bo ovor thirty?" “Sj I should a said, myself,” as30nt cd Jotham. "I’m glad she has taken tho cottago on a long lease, Jotham," pursued Mr. Wi ;gloton, “I like good neighbors.” “.Most folks doo»,” observed Joth am. And lie got up, shaking himself like a great Nowfoundland dog, an 1 wont into tho house, leaving Mr. Wiggleton to the companionship of hi* own cogi¬ tations. Thera are time* ii which soli¬ tude is said to bo tho host company; perhaps this was ono of thoso spicial occasions, in tho estimation of Mr. Jotham llarlcastlo. Tho summer wont by; tho gToat maplo in front of tho Wiggleton man¬ sion began to glow as if its leavas had been dipped in blood and molted gold; tho asters reared thoir purple torchos along the stone wall by tlio cottago un¬ der the hill, and any acuto obsorver might havj porcoivod that Mr*. Palm loaf had laid down th# rooky bit ot up¬ hill grot nd in spring wheat in»toad of winter r/o. “JothamI" sail Mr. Wiggloton to his farm hand ono evening; it was tho first timo they had had a fire on tho wide, oi l-fashioned hearth. “Wall?" “1—have concluded it isn’t best for you to live hors at tho houso any tot'gor.” “What’s goin’ to happen?" said Jo tham. “You aiu’t goin’ to biro nnothor hand be you?" “No; to bo sure not. You suit mo a(lm , rtU(1 , t j 0 th»m, only ’-iml Mr. Wiggleton Giotthi words out with an ^.q thinking of being mar-’ . , ,, ** 0h ! ’ said Jotham. “It’S rather late in life, to ha sure,” said Mr. Wiggloton, conscious ot look¬ ing extremely sheepish; “but you know, Jotham, it’s uevor too lato to do a good thing.” “Certainly not," satd Jotham, dryly. “You ought to get married, Jotham," added liis employer, speaking in rath r a rapid and embarrassed mannor. “Think so?" “Certninly. I ou might live in tho little hf u*e beyond tho psach orchard; it wouldn’t take much to fit it up nice ly, now that paint and paper aro so cheap.” Jotham stared reflectively at the fire. “And your wife cou d take care of l ' 10 cri ' a;u aQ ^ butter, and alt that sort of thing for u*. It isn’t likely Mrs. p - Ahem!—it isn’t likely, I mean, that my wife will care for such things." “Humph!" romanced Jotham. “I'd advise you to tura the thing all over in your mind, Jotham,” said Mr. Wiggleton. " Yo *» 1 wUI ." «« Jotham, with a UU o cou " h - Tho next morning Jlr. Wiggleton at tired himself in his best suit, and went to tho cottage. Mrs. IV.mleaf received him ia a charming crimson cashmere wrapper, with ribbons to match. Mr. Wiggleton wasted no time in u-eleM preliminary chit chat. “.Mrs. Pa.mleaf—ma'am," he began, a little nervously, “I have concluded to hange my condition.’’ “Indeed!" said the widow, smiling tike an opening rose; “1 am glad to hear it. “And I am here this morning to «k you to be my wife!" pursued our hero, boldly. ••You aro very kind, sir," sail Mr*. Palmieof, blushing, and looking pret tier than ever; “lut I—I reaUy couldn’t.” “And why not?" demaadoi Mr. Wig- glcton, fcirly taken aback by this pected answer. L “I am engaged!" owned 1 up tho charming crimson ribbons widow, playing ^with the at her bolt. 1 “Might I dr.ro to ask—that Is ‘Oh. certainly. It’s Jotham Dard¬ ens tie.” Mr. Wiggleton stammered oi t a sen¬ tence or two of congratulation, and took his leave. And when the “spring wheat” reared its green tassels on. tho lUUsiie, Jotham married the pretty^ young widow—and Mr. Wiggleton’si singlo yet. He always felt as if he hAl been iil-treatod, but ho never could yell cx nctly how. — -[N w York Weekly The Logic of Advertising An old Iiiglish merchant, giving business “point*” to his young sue cossor, among otlior thing', says:! “The first utility of irequent and regular ad¬ vertising consists in this: there ps.at all times a largo cla^s of persons, bith in country and town, who havo nofixol place for tho purchase of certain nices snry articles, and are ready to be swayed and drawn toward* any particular jlaco which is earnestly brought under their notice. Indifferent to all, tlioy yield without hesitation to the first who esks. Then a considerable number of persons who wish a Uuply of tho aiticlo adver¬ tised and do not know of any particiiar place where it is to to got, being (yius furnished with tho address of a pcr.on who can supply them, naturally opel a communication with that address whi-h perhaps leads to much ultorior busiueg. People aro also liable to bo favoraby impressed by a frequent sight of a nane in tho newspapers. The advertising party acquires distinction in their eye* and thus they are lead, in making i choico, to prefer him. “But by f.ir tho most important effect of advertising is one of an indirect nature. It conveys tho impression that tho party—protending or not pretend¬ ing, qunckish or not qusckisli —Ji anxious for business. Ono who |i anxious for business is uaavoidably sup¬ posed to bo an industrious, attentive, civil person who keeps tho best articles at the cboapest rate, does everything in the neatest and most tradesmanliko mannor, and in goncral U3 js every expe¬ dient to gratify and attach cuitomora. People liko to purchase under thosq circumstances, an 1 tho system of ad ver tising assuring them that such circum¬ stances exist at this particular shop, they select it accoriiagly.” a v ■‘V** - •••— Co-operntlro Novel Writing. Edward Everett II do says lip has goae into a practical experience ia co¬ operation. Joaquin Miller, the ppot Sf tho Sierra*, is prosy enough to enter tlo scheme, aud so ii General Ljw Wallacf. According to the prcicut outlook fiil works of fiction aro to be written byla sort of literary trust. Each author is jo contribute a novel and tho profits of tRo publication are to bo equally dividod. Tho original mombors besides JUlier and Halo wore Maurice Thompson, Franklin Filo and Will Cirleton. It ha§ bcoa discovered, however, that Carloton has a contract to write only for Harpers. IIo understood that this agroamont related to poatry only, and ho now finds that it covers presi as well. llis place is likely to bo takon by General Wallnco. A letter has boon received from Joaquin Miller written at his liotun ia California. llo says hois writing with “tho glorious sunlit hay of San Franciico in sight," and that the scene is being U'ed ia his siory. Tim talo will bo ono of early California day s, Halo will locato his story in \ .w England. Thompson has found in Bay St. Louis a place replete with romance and boforc-tho-war charactori /-a tion.

Tno Apache brave when he goc» courting makes no effort to become agrmabla to his intended brilo. In dec 1, he rarely notices or speaks to her 0 iccpt to answer some question of hers. Ho pays the most assiuuous attention to her male relatives, particularly her big; lazy brothers. At night ho goes to her iathor’s lodge and distributes the presents about. If a pony he is pick cted close by; if it is a cow a horn is ued to th3 which shows hij in * tention. The bridegroom comas snoak i a g around ia tha morning to soo th« result of hi. proposal. If tho asticlas have been taken imide, tho horso re moved, etc., he is all right, whereupon the bride goes and builds a new lodge or tepeo for herscU, and puts things ia order generally for the bucc she calls master. If the trinkets are not touche 1, the proposal is not accepted, and th« suitor carries them away again.—[Phil* adelphia ll.card. ----— Characteristic. “There is one characteristic which you Americans have that I hare never been abio to account for,” remarked tht English traveler, as ha b?gan to thaw. “Why do yiu always reply to a quss tian by asking another!" “Do we!" innocent y responded ths Yankee.— Juige.
