Nine months of hard and ingenious

him to escape. l>y thrusting a wire

abandoned sewer. With a chisel
which he smuggled in fiom the work
shop, and a heavy piece of wood, he
broke one of the stones. This re
quired a month, because he could only
strike a blow when a door was closed,
or some other noise was made to hide
it, and he frequently set up all night
without being able to strike more than
once or twice. In the daytime he was
in the shop. After icnioving the half

through three feet of stone and ce

through this obstruction. He wo. ke i

FOR THE PEOPLE.
VAAce\e\ Wv^e .
LOVE AND aUINCE SEEDS.
“ I’m clean discouraged !” asserted
Farmer Ford, corning into the house
one cold fall day ami sitting down
hard in a chair in the kitchen.
Ilis wife, paring pumpkinsatatable
did not ask why.
“ I expected we should do well this
year, but everything lias gone wrong.
It isn't the year for fruit, yet I thought
there would be a few apples, which
would have brought a good price in the
scarcity; but there isn't a barrel of
apples 'inTfic whole orchard. The p'O
tatoes arc poor, the corn blighted and
the rains spoiled the wheat. I didn't
get half the hay I expected on account
ol the early drought- The horse is
never going to get. well of that lame
ness ; the brindle ox died and my best
cow is sick. The pigs are fat, but pork
has gone down to nothing. My whole
flock of seventy hens are molting, and
hain’t laid an egg for a month. I’ve
got to buy grain for my stock, and corn
is eighty-tivo cents a bushel. To crown
all, the frost took twenty-five bushels
ofrunripe grapes from me. If that
isft'tenough to discourage a man, when
foreclosure of the mortgage upon his
farm is close at hand, I don’t know
what is!” MU*
Mrs. Ford wiped her eyes.
“ Cheer up, father ! Jennie’s coming
home.”
But oven the mention of his only
daughter could not dispel the good
mam’s dejection and sense of trial. He
rose up, covered his partially bald head
with his old hat, and marched out of
the liouse.
Then good Mrs. Ford wiped away a
tear. Her iittle financial ventures, too,
bad been unsuccessful. The price for
butter was unusually low : tbe turkeys
had gorged themselves on musty wheat
and been found stretched lifeless under
their perch. She had spent all her
spare time all summer braiding two
rugs for the doctor’s wife, and the doc
tor had moved away and left them on
her hands. There were no apples to
dry, and the pumpkins were rotting
dreadful! v.
Such are the trials of farmer’s wives
quite frequently ; but to have a mort
gage foreclose upon the old place where
she had lived ever since she was mar
ried—the clear old place where her
children had been born, and where she
expected to spend her lasteartldy days
—this was too much, and Mrs. Ford’s
apron went up and a groat many tears
fell among its tidy folds.
Suddenly there was the roll of a yel
low old stage coach's heavy wheels at
the door, the hanging down of a trunk,
and a graceful girl's form in the door
way.
“Mother! —you dear, darling old
mother ! Why, what are 3'ou crying
for ?”
And Jennie Ford’s blue eyesopened
wide upon the now smilyigaml delight
ed wrinkled face.
“I’m not crying. Jennie, dear. Why,
how you have altered, child ! An inch
taller, and—well, it's mother that saj’s
it —so pretty ! You hardly look like my
Jennie, with those blue ribbons and
that fringe of little curls over your fore
head.”
“Aunt Elinor wanted my hair
hanged, mother.”
What., child ?”
“ Hanged, mother, dear. But never
mind m3’ hair. You have been
and I want to know what the matter
is.”
Jennie, divested of her wraps, with
he’r pretty shoulders buried in shirred
blue silk and lace, was an apparition
lovely indeed to appear, tender and
blooming, in the old farmhouse kitchen.
A wealthy aunt, peculiar and com
paratively unknown, had come to
Wheatlands the previous spring, and
pleased by the sweet faced girl of six
teen she had never before seen, borne
her away for a summer to a fashionable
seaside resort. Another month had
been spent at her handsome city
residence ; but finally Jennie had come
home.
“ I suppose I was down hearted. Jen
nie. Father —father's dreadful down
about the way tilings arc* going. The
stock and the crops—well, as he says,
everything seems to have gone wrong
this 3’ear ; and—and the mortgage fore
closes the first of January,” added Mrs.
Ford, her face bending over her again
busy hands.
She looked up at last in the silence
that followed, and met Jennie's blue
eyes, grave enough.
“But you needn't fret, child. You
are young, and I dare say r old Wheat
lands is a dull enough place to you.”
” It's home, mother, and I love my
home. There is someone coining next
week—a—a gentleman—who has been
very polite and kind to me. lie is rich
and elegant, hut I am not ashamed of
Wheatlands,” concluded Jennie, deci
sively, nodding her pretty head, with
its line of golden fringe.
Mrs. Ford understood.
“So my girl has got a sweetheart,”
she said.
A bright, eloquent, blushing look
from Jennie, but no words; for the
kitchen door opened, and, with a glad
cry. Jennie sprang into her father’s
arms. It was pleasant to see the old
man's grim face break into smiles.
“So you’ve come home at last,
Child.”
“ I’d have come long ago, dear
father, but Aunt Elinor wouldn’t let
me.”
As Jennie sat down by the great
open fireplace, her father looked her
over from bead to foot. No one
noticed the look of his face as he
turned awn}\ Jennie herself was very
thoughtful, and sat gazing meditatively
into the open blaze, while her mother
made the tea and toasted bread on a
gw at pronged fork.
Mrs. Ford was one of the few fond
of old fashions, and clung to the old
time way of doing things. She had
never been persuaded to have a cook
ing-stove, a modern bedstead, or a
clot lies-wringer.
All the fireplaces at Wheatlands
were open, the bedsteads were high
posted, piled with beds filled with fifty
pounds of live goose-feathers, sheets
as while as snow and smelling of
lavender, and patchwork quilts of the
most elaborate designs.
Every carpet and rug in the house
Mrs. Ford had made with her own
hands. She had in use china and
crockery which had been her mother's
and grandmother’s. Nothing equaled
in her estimation their habits and
ways, and she had been suffered to
perpetuate them, though Jennie often
** wished her mother would have a
cooking stove ;” and her husband, on
a summer's night, often escaped from
the smothering embraces of his feaf her
bed and spent the night on the chintz
covered lounge in the kitchen.
When Jennie had kissed her mother
and father good night that evening,
and silently carried to her pillow the
problem of the mortgage’s foreclosure,
the father and mother sat silent before
the red embers of the hearth. The old
man’s elbows were upon his knees and
his face in his hands. lie uttered a
groan.
“As if it wasn’t enough to have
things going the way thcj' are,” he ex
claimed, “ without having Jennie come
home with her hair in bangs!”
“ Why, father—”
“What sense is there in frizzling
and frowseling her hair over her fore
head like that? It's the foolishest
tiling in the world ! I knew Elinor
would spoil her—l knew it from the
first!”
“ 1 think it looks very pretty, father :
but-”
“To think a daughter of mine should
ever bang her hair !” groaned the poor,
gloomy man, as lie rose, set his chair
back against the wall, and betook him
self disconsolately to bed.
“1 wonder if I’d belter speak to
Jennie .about her hair ?" mused Mrs.
Ford. “It seems a pity. Those little
curls; just like tendrils on the grape
vines, make her forehead and eyes look
so pretty. I guess I won’t, just yet.
It does seem as though trouble was
making father dreadful cross grained.”
No complaint was made to Jennie
of her bangs. She came down the
next morning with the same fringe
of little, soft curls above her pretty
brows, but with a broad gingham apron
tied over her neat print wrapper ; and
she washed the breakfasrchina, made
brown bread and pumpkin pies, made
np the plump feather beds, and
prepared dinner as deftly as if she
were in total ignorance of the fashions.
Mrs. Fort was satisfied that Jennie
was not spoiled, if her father was r.ot.
If Jennie had known of her father’s
disapproval. It would have been hard
for her to have abandoned those ob
jectionable bangs, for someone else
had I'cen especially pleased by Jen
nie's adoption of the style.
Mr. Chester Childreth was very ap
preciative of nice effects in the toilets
of ladies, and at last reports was still
undecided whether ?he 10->*e tresses
made the deep fringed blue eyes so
lovely or the pretty eyes made the little
curls socharming. The thought thrilled
Jennie’s heart everp time she looked
in the little mirror, and it would have
been actual cruelty to have deprived
her of her bangs. Mr. Chester Chil
dreth seemed so far away—and though
she loved her home it was very bare
of romance and the refinements of the
summer which she had found so con
genial.
Hasn't anything done well ?” ask
ed Jennie, wiping the tea things with
her mother, and referring again to the
mortgage.
“Nothing but the quinces, Jennie.
They’ve borne wonderfully well this
year. Nearly two bushels apiece, aid
there's fifty trees. But there isn’t
much sale fi-r quinces about bore. I
I think I'd better put up enough to
last for two years, and father will get
what he can for the rest of them.”
Just here Jennie dropped the snowy
d.sh-towel, and had nearly dropped a
china teacup ; but though her cheeks
were very red she shut her lips tight,
and would not speak a word until she
was sure. She only remarked, after
a little ;
“I wouldn't be in any hurry about
doing up the quinces, mother.”
A few days later Mr. Chester Chil
dreth arrived.
When they had kissed each other
(though Jennie had intended to be
quite reserved), and read in each oth
er’s eyes all the truth of how they loved
eacli other, and the old folks had re
tired and left them in full possession
oftlie cozy, comfortable, old-fashioned
sitting-room, Jennie told him her
trouble, and about the quinces.
Now Mr. Chester Childretli was a
druggist, and replied, quickly :
“ You are perfectly right, dear Jen
nie. Quince seeds, a preparation of
which is popular for dressing ladies’
hair, are now four dollars a pound, on
account of their scarcity. I will glad
ly give your father that price for them,
and would if he had a hundred times
as many more. Twenty-five pounds
will net him one hundred dollars.”
He declared afterward that he nev
er in his life saw such a happy girl as
Jennie was at that moment.
“You see there’s only two hundred
dollars needed to clear the debt off!”
she cried. “ I’ve part of one hundred
—fifty that—Aunt Elinor gave me for
my dress the coming year. Of course
I intended to give father that; but he
has only twenty-five laid awajq and I
have thought—What ifwe could make
out one hundred, there was the other
dreadful hundred—”
“’Flie quince seeds secure that.
Your fifty and your father’s twenty-five
make seventy five. Then, if your moth
er and yourself will make twenty-five
dollars’ worth of quince preserves for
market I will secure its sale with an
acquaintance of mine, who is a dealer
in fresh and preserved fruits,” conclu
ded Air. Childreth, who, though he
would gladl}' given Jennie’s father the
comparatively small sum needed,
would not for the world have offended
the independence oftlie little girl he
admired so much.
Jennie could hardly wait until morn
ing to rush to her father, throw her
arms around his neck and tell him the
whole story.
Mr. Childreth stood by enjoying the
scene and confirming the truth of her
statements. lie told the honest far
mer how many countries had been ran
sacked to supply the demand'for quince
seed, and assured the good man that it
was not a fairy tale until he was forced
to believe.
Mrs. Fort wept for jov
“ I think—l do think. Jennie, that
father would have fretted himself into
his grave before long if it hadn't been
for—”
“My bangs?” laughed Jennie, “Oh,
I overheard him scolding about them
that night—poor father ! But Chester
likes them, and I really did not think
I ought to give them up when they are
so becoming to me !”
A few weeks completed the plans for
closing the mortgage, and Farmer Ford
took courage. And it was then that
the wedding took place, beneath the
beloved old roof.

The fees of doctors is an item that'
very many persons are interested in
just at present. We believe the sched
ule for visits isj>3.oo which would tax
a man confind to his bed for a year,
and in need of daily visits, ovcrsl,ooo
- year for medical attendance alone!
And one single bottle ofllop Hitters
taken in time would save the sl,ooo’'
and all the year’s sickness.— Post'.
What Angels Ain’t in the Habit of*
Doing.
“ Mrs. Topnoody,” sadly remarked
Mr. TANARUS., after an agitated scene, “you
are not what I thought you wore in tbe-'
happy days of youth.”
“Oil, I ain’t, ain’t I?”"
“No, you are not. I thought you’
were an angel, and now—and now—”
“ And now,” broke in Mrs. TANARUS., “ and’
now you find that you’re a fool, and
tln.t angels ain’t in the habit ofsliuging
pots and dish-rags around, and spank
ing babies, and sewing on buttons; and*
wrestling kitchen stoves, and making:
muslin plasters for husbands with the
colic, and bossing hired girls, and
doing the cooking for a big family, -
beside going to church and being:
married to a Topnoody, all the time.-
No, Topnoody, angels ain’t in the habit’
of doing such things, and it is a mighty
good thing they ain’t or the- angel ;
business wouldn’t last till the middle
of next week.”
Topnoody did notpursuetheconver--
sation further, but put on his hat and*
went down |tlie street to wonder how k
many women were angels.
Cuthbert Enterprise: “Oil Mon--
day night last some unknown person
forced open one of the doors of the S.
W. It. R. depot in this city, and by
means of an axe and pinch bar cut an*
opening into the ironsafein the office,-
taking therefrom between a hundred
and hundred and five dollars. A book
containing about a hundred and thirty
dollars was taken out of tho safe and!
left upon the floor with the money in*
it undisturbed. Ail the sealed envel
opes, and envelopes marked as •
contai .ing money, were opened. Sev
eral bonds, deeds and insurance-pam
pers were left lying loose on the floor.
Mr. Phelps, fortunately, had just sent'
off the day before the bulk oflhe mon
ey belonging to the railroad. The•
safe had been rolled from its place
against the wall in the corner of the
office into the middle of the room,-
where room could be had for operating
upon the back part of it, where the
opening was made. The discovery
was made by the conductor of the five
o’clock train, who on going to slip some
papers under the door for Mr. Phelps,,
found the door open. Going in he
found the office in the condition de
sribed. No clue to the perpetrators,
of the deed lias yet been found.
Zeb Little was brought to Fairb'urn*
and lodged in jail last Friday night,
charged with attempting to assault a
respectable white lady in Fayette
county. The community in which he
was charged with attempting to com
mit the crime was so excited that the
Sheriff of Fayette would not take him *
I to Fayetteville that' evening, for fear
I that the prisoner would be mobbed,
lie was taken to Fayetteville* and!
lodged in jail Saturday, and Monday
the preliminary trial was held. The
evidence would notsustain the oharge,,
and he was released. Little wr s drunk,
and the lady’s fears led her to flee to*
a neighbor’s where she preferred the*
charge.
