press it, Mr. Olmsted!
Yon have not given me a fair
reason. You have given me none
at all!” George O'msted cried, with
all the hotness of yonth and wonnd

“I can go over it once more,
then,” Rboda answered, striving to
keeji steady her soft voice—“for I

bravely—“our having had so mach

ended with a sort of desperate
fierceness, for her heart was throb

Yon would not be happy with me
back in -your city home among
your city friends. You would be
ashamed of me!”
“Ashamed!”
George Olmsted turned upon
her a look—a stare of amazement
and hurt feeling and indignation—:
which it seemed to Rhoda she
would never forget, truthful though
she believed her words to have
been.
“Yon will .marry that fellow,
Steele—Owen Steele! Shall yon?”
her lover spid, his voice hoarsen

“He has asked me,” Rhoda an
swered, letting her eyes dwell on
the face which had grown so dear
to her—for would it not be the laBt
time? “And 1 think—yes, I can
foresee that I shall marry him!
Don’t yon see how much better
suited we should be, Mr. Olmsted?
We are of the same sort, He
would never be ashamed.”
She hud meant not to repeat the
taunt which had so hart him. She
looked np at him rathe'r pittifnlly.

in her eyes and her voice—“good-

Yon wanted to peddle them all

Rhoda, with her quick sympathy.
I was calc’lating to—yes.”
How much do you sell them
for?”
The most .1 can git,” said Mrs
Peterman, too miserable to look
up. “They’re the best:
“Well,” said Rhoda, quietly,
I’m going to drive about aud sell

And she pinned he; wide hat
more firmly on her pretty blonde
head, and was gone through the
kitchen door with graceful speed.

with a mother’s pride in her tones.

Rhoda went to where Mrs. Pe
terman’s old wagon waited, and
mounted to the high seat
It was a rattly affair; the horse
was twenty years old if a day, and
furry-coated; and the tin pails and
measures jingled together in the
back with alarmirg loudness.
But if Rhoda felt any faint,
girlish qualms she winced non?.
She smiled as she chirruped to the
staid old animal, and hummed a
little, and strove to believe she
was forgetting her own haunting
tronble. •
Mrs. Whittaker, laughing at the
sight of Mrs. Peterman’s success
or till the tears came, bought eight
quarts of berries, and.Mrs. Kelly,
next door, boaght five. The
Steeles were next.
Rhoda’s pretty color heightened
a little as she drew up at the front
gate. Not that she shqnid ever
love Owen Steele—no; bnt if' he
was to be her hnsband—
Owen wns in the yard. So was
an elderly lady in silk and a gen
tleman in correspondingly impos
ing garments.
Ah, yesl Rhoda remembered
that Owen's uncle and aunt from
the city had been expected that
day—an ancle and aunt from
whom Owen informed her, he had
expectations.
Owen, in his best . clothes and
looking complacent, came to the
;ate. Not having recognized Rhoda
at a distance, he stared at her now
in astonishment Then ho grew
red.
“Great guns, Rhoda!” he utter
ed, shortly, "what are you up to?’’
Rhoda colored also, her red un

“Can't yon see?” she quarried.

' “That’s them,” said Owen, in a
sort of growl. “For the land’s

And—yes, he saw her, aud left,
with the shabbiest apology for a
hbw, the lady with whom he had
been talking, and went running
down the Bteps and the walk, hat
in hand, and brought np beside
Mrs. Peterman’s wagon with a
bound.
“Why, Miss Merritt!” he cried—
“is it yon? I couldn’t believe it at
first, bat -jt is. What are you do
ing? How jolly!”
His handsome yonng Jace was
aglow with pleasnrc—with the
mere pleasure of seeing her once
more. He forgot all/ else, and
stood' joyfully gazing np at her.
“What fan!” he reiterated, gaily.
“I’m selling blackberries for
Mrs. Peterman,” said Rhoda; but
her voice trembled, and she coaid
notjtrast her eyes to meet his. “Do
you think they will take some
here?”
I’ll go and see,” said George
Olmsted, eagerly.
- All the boarders were staring at
him, bnt he did not even see them.
He ran into the kitchen with boy
ish leaps and skips, and came back
with the cook and two great pans.
“We’ll take what you’ve got
left!” he cried, and helped to meas
ure them.
And when the cook had disap
peared with the load, he stood
there.still.
“Let me drive yon home, Rhoda!”
he faltered. “I won’t say anything
more about—abont that. I won’t
persecute yon. Bnt let me go with
you, just this one last time—”
He stopped, compressing his
lips.
They had driven for a time be
fore Rboda spoke. Bnt then her
face was ro radiant and her cheeks
so pink that her lover stared at
her, a great hope in his heart,
“It won’t be for the last time, I
jope,” said Rhoda, gently. “I
lave changed my mind, Mr. Olm
sted. I thought you would be
ashamed of ©e 99 your wife, but
I think you never will, I thought
that Owen Steele—never mind;
I'll tell you all about_it some day!”
Rhoda cried, laughing sweetly, as
she touched up Mrs. Peterman’s
old horse.
Owen Steele, when Rhoda’s en
gagement was announced, felt him
self ill nsed. He thought Rhoda
had seen»e4 a little mified tlje day

berries, but he wasn’t sqre. Cer

that' the government is in dnty
bound to furnish its subjects with
money.
The political arguments and
comments of many people are
pregnant with this idea. Few more
fatal ideas ever found lodgment in
the brains of the children of a free
republic. Such an idea nurtured
to its full fledged state js paternal
ism run mad.
It is the duty of the government
to protect her subjects in all their
constitutional rights. It is also
the dnty of the government to so
direct her fiscal affairs as not to
impose unnecessary hardens apon
her subjects, nor to make class dis
tinctions in the operation of its fis
cal laws. This onr people have a
right to demand of our general
government.
•Rut to nnrtnre the idea that the
government should, that it can,and
that it ever will supply all the peo
ple with an amount of money ade
quate to their imagined wants, is
to practice deception apon one’s
self.
That the circulating medium of
the government should be made,
and shonld at'all times, if possible,
be kept adequate to the demands
of business is a fact conceded by
all who give this subject a thought.-
This medium having fallen below
this line is ono of our financial
troubles at present.
Bnt the common idea entertain
ed by a great many people that the
fiscal affairs of the general govern
ment will be so manipulated as to
pnt such an inflation of money in
the country as to place it within
easy reach of all,is a false idea and
calculated to do mntih hurt.
On this point we would have the
people of all classes undeceived.
The government will never pull
open the pockets of her subjects
and pour her money into them.
When the government shall have
made her circulating medium what
it should be, she will have done-
her duty to the people from a fiscal
standpoint,aud then if her subjects
get money they will have to work
for it, as they have had to do in all
the ages past. No financial ar
rangement can ever be made by
a republican government whereby
the subjects thereof can be fed to
sarfetting with money from the
public treasury.
And the man who shelters him
self unde? the shadow of such a
hope will soon find himself stumb
ling over the stones of poverty.
The way for those of ns, who.
haven’t it, to get money to meet
our needs, is not to remain inactive
and expect the government to fur
nish it. It will never do it
Reader, don’t deceive yourself
ou this sqbjeot Jf the government
was filled to overflowing with gold
dollars, and a man has nothing to
give in exchange for these dollars,
he need not expect them to fall in-
-to his coffers. And if any man is
expecting this,or entertaining such
hope or idea, sqcfi an one is sim
ply laboring under a mental hallu
cination.
So it matters not what may be
the fisoal arrangement of the gov
ernment; however favorable it may
be made to the people, every man
must work in order to have money.
The general government will nev
er become a parent, sq tender and
loving,as to give her ohildren mon
ey for nothing. We must give an
equivalent of some kind for it.

The Christian Index comment
ing on the above, taken from an
exchange,makes the following sen
sible remarks:
“Many valuable lessons may he
learned from this incident.
“First, friends of our fathers
may, in most cases, be counted ou
as friends of their children. To
say to a man ‘I am the son of yonr
friend,’ is no mean passport to his
favorable consideration.
“Second, habits of self-denial
clothe one with strength to resist
temptation,though it may be strong
and sadden. ‘Come in and have a
glass of wine.’ ‘No.’ *Have a cigar.'
‘No.’ There was decision in the
answer. The young man meant
what he said, and though bard
pressed for money, he stood firmly
by his principles, and manfnlly
met the test ^applied by the mer
chant. He did not drink, smoke
or gamble. He was superintend
ent of a Sunday school, and these
things were not consistent with
such an office.
“Third,' he was not lost to self-
respect. When apparently refused
he did not whine or beg. ‘Good
day, sir,’ was his prompt parting
salutation.
“Fourth, the merchant showed
his gratitude, as well as his appre
ciation of the young man’s integri
ty by granting his request. Good
deeds may live and bless our chil
dren long after we are dead.”
Of all the toomfoolery we have
ever read, some of the third party
twaddle is the most senseless.
They talk abont the corruption of
the old parties as thongh they had
not-helped to make the old parties
what they are, or at least quietly
acquiesced in and endorsed the
corrupting process. They prate
abont politicians, while they follow
the lead of old political hacks who
have failed to seonre the loaves and
fishes in the Old parties and hope
by appealing to passion and preju
dice to ride into office ou a popu
lar wave in a new party. If by
chanoe the third party shonld meet
with temporary success, its blind
devotees will find the leaders of
their new party more corrupt dem
agogues than the leaders of the ol(j
parties. They will find them just
as ready and subservient tools for
Wall street as any old party lead
ers. Indeed,tbey will prove“cheap-
er statesmen” to Wall street than
the old party leaders. Herein

toral college, of which the Demo
crats are sure of only seven; with a
possibility of Montana’s three
votes.
This looks very mach like a gain
of thirty-three new votes for the
Republicans in the electoral col
lege unless we can win Iowa, Wis
consin or Nebraska, which have
Democratic governors. But we can
give the Republicans all the States
that thej carried in 1884 and the
new States, aud we can still elect
our President with the electoral
votes of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Indiana and the
South, which will cast two hun
dred aud twenty-six votes, and
have three to spare.
This is a close margin, bat if
the Democrats work together, and
do not play the fool by fighting the
most available candidate from the
State of New York, we can elect
the next President.
Precocious Intellectuality.
Remarkable cases of precocious
intellectuality, preceding future
power rather than weakness or
early decay, were John Stuart
Mill, who read Greek at three; end
Macaulay, who read incessantly
from the time he was three years
old; bnt ordinary humanity is slow
er and shonld not he unduly has
tened. It is found to be undoubt-
ly the case that progress in learn
ing is far more rapid in the great
majority of children when they
are left without any systematic at
tempt to teach them until the sev-
enth year at least has been reach
ed. This rapidity will more than
counterbalance any apparent tard
iness in beginning, and there is
mach less chance of evil conse
quences.—[Chicago Heral.
