FOR love of her.
“Tiny! Tiny! what is the hired
man doing now?’’
‘He’s planting
father!’ a sweet voice answered.
Mr. GEudivel), in his anxiety to
personally auperintend the prog
ress of hie farm work, had nearly
twisted himself out of his chair,
with both elbows on the window
sill, and his wrinkled, care-norn
old face peering between the
heart shaped leaves of the morn,
ingglories.
Justine, his daughter, was wash
ing the blue-edged dishes in the
adjoining room, a tall brownseyed
girl, with luxuriant dark locks
waving away from her forehead,
and a healthful shade of sunburn
on her cheek.
‘String-beans! string-beans;
Nonsense, nonsense!’ impatiently
exclaimed the farmer. ‘What s all
this garden truck for, except to
pamper your appetites? Its the
core ought to ue got into tne
ground and the potatoes and the
parsnips and those things that sell
well in the market! Oh dear! oh
dear! things don’t go ’as they
used to ia my time! Thbre’s tfcebars
of the maple meadow, down ana IT*
go bail the cows w ill be in the cabs
bage-patch before you can say
Jack Robinson.’
‘The cows r. u’t in the maple
meadow to-day, father,’ said Tiny
gently. ‘They are off on the
blackberry pasture lot'
‘And who said they was to be
changed!’ snarled Mr. Chudwell,
growing especially cross, as a
sharp rheumatic pang seemed to
be tying a double boss-knot in the
muscles of his leg. ‘Am 1 the
master of this place, or ain’t 1*
Hey? Answer uie that!’
‘Joseph Fielding says fhac the
fences are badly ont of repair iu
the maple meadow,’ said Tiny;
‘and he thinks ’
‘Thinks, does he?' growled Fare
mer Chudwell, screwing vp his
features as the double bow-knot
seemed to unite itself again, with
lingering throes of pain. ‘Well he
: ain’t no business to think. He’s
only my hired man, after all! I’m
able to do the thinking for myself,
yet awt.de, I guess!’
‘i/e does the best he can, father,’
pleaded Tiny.
‘And 1/ ain’t your place to be
makin’excuses for him, neither,’
added Air. Chudwell. ‘Eh! i/e'lol
Wha ’a that h j’b bringin’ arose
the garden?’
Tiny leaued out over her fathe’e
shoulder to see.
‘lt’s the tiger-lilies!’ she cried
joyously. ‘Mrs Bruce bas given
me some roots of those beautiful
tiger iixies! And Joe is going to
plan: them at the south doorstep?’
She went singing back to b«r
work, for Tiny Chudwell had ell a
woman’s fondness for beautiful
things, and during her father’s ad
ministration, not so much ae a
daisy root or a blue larkspur was
ah owed to encrouch on the garden
ground.
The very hoPyhocis whose sear*
let l eads nodded over the wajPof
the door yard were only tolerated
because it was too much trouble
to dig their long tap-roots up!
But Joseph Fielding liked flow
eis as weil as Tiny. Ho bad
planted a Michigan rose by the
well and sowed sweetpea seeds
under the kitchen
here, at last, were the tiger-mefc
her artiel-soul had so c veted!
And, in her mind's eye, she could
already see the great orange dar»
lings, their fiery petals blotched
with black, nodding like spots of,
vivid color in 'he July sunshine.
She had always wanted a bunch
of tigerslilies by the porch. She
had looked longingly at them as
th**v blossomed in her neighbors
yards—she had fancied how orier
tally lovely they would look among
the clustering pale>«green south
ernwood—and now her dream of
beauty was to come true at last!
slut Farmer Chudwell had his
ideas on the subject, also. He
had never been what the world
calls ‘a pleasant man,’ in his pal- !
miesi days, nnd it seemed as if ne .
grew crustier and sourer than j
evor, when misfortune crept slow
ly upon him.
First the old mill-stream which
had mined the wheel for genera"
tious uncounted, went dry—-pro*'-
ably, as Mr, Cuudwell bitterly re
marked, “in consequtnce o’ them
waterworks, as everybody was Us
ed for, and nobody wanted,’ and
the mill business bad to be üband
oned.
And then there was a year of
milde n iu the corn, and sabtle rot
in the potato fields, and just as
ihe apple crop ripened in a pro
fusion of crimson and geld, the
price of apples fell so that it was
hardly worth while to gather them
into barrels.
‘I won’t sell ’em!’ roared The
farmer 4 ,‘l’d soorer dig ’em into
the ground to fertilize the soil;
It’s a swindle! The markets are in
'eague'against me!’
dud the vineyard q/ young,
grapevines which he lirfd planted
so carefully on the rocky terraces
at the south side of hte.ferm, suc
cum bed |# r olonged drought,
and an embryo cyclone c&uied
away We roof of the beet
and then came the grim tyrant
rheumatism, ai u old CGudwell felt
that his cup was indeed full!
And then came the man who
had a mortgage on the plaoe—a
grim, square, business like person
age, who chewed a cherry-tree
leaf as he talked and had a partic
ularly aggravating way of ha’f
closing one eye
‘Can’t pay it’’ said Mr. Blifil.
‘But it runt out in October, and I
was led to believe it would be paid
up promptly.’
‘I waa a-ca’culatin’ to pay it,’
said Simeon Chudwell sadly. ‘But
I’ve had such bad luck.’
‘We don’t allow f or no such
thing as luck where business is
concerned,’ said Mr. Blifil.
‘Couldn’t you giye me another
year?’ said Simeon imploringly.
‘Well, no,’ said Blifil, still mas
ticating this cherry-leaf. ‘2]ue
fact is, Mi^Chudwell, I’ve got bet
ter investments tor my money
than six per cent, mortgages.
Capital is capital, nowadays! and
money’s worth its faoe value.’*
‘Well, I’ll see what I can do,’
said Mr. Chudwell with a sinking
heart.
He did. But, so far as his vision
extended, nothing could be done.
And so he sat and waited grimly
for fate to do its worst.
Not the least of his griefs was
the being compelled to sit, like a
surperaauated old man, at the
window, and see Joseph Fielding’s
strong what he had
been wont to do, Joseph Fielding’s
brain p anpieg out the work winch
he alone had hitherto* had the
charge of.
‘Your’re such a master hand at
work, Joe,’ he said one day in the
bitterness of hie spirit, ‘I wonder
you lower yourself to hire out. I
should suppose you’d got enough
money laid up to live onondepand
ent.’
‘Oh,’ said Joe mildly ignoring
the sarcastic sting ot the remark,
have got a little. I’m one of
the kind, you know, that’s always
lookin’ forward to a rainy day.
And 1 don’t mean to be canght
without an umbrella.’
But on this especial day it seem
ed to him that Joseph Fielding
had heaped up the measure of his
offience, in this matter of the ti
gers lilies, past endurance.
I’ll teach him,’ said Mr. Chud
well to himself. ‘And I’ll teach
her too. Tiger-lilies, indeed]’
Ho* he contrived to limp as far
as ther front porch, be who dtad
not left his armchair without hef|>
*or weeks, no one knew. Bu l
when Tiny went out to look at hen
tiger-lily roots that evening, just
between daylight and dark, the
ground was all plowed and riddled,
as if some infuriated beast had
torn it with its hoofs. While the
lily bulbs, withered by the sun
and torn apart, lay scattered wila
ly about.
“Who has done this t” she cried
with a gasp of giisf and terror.
‘I didl’defiantly answered Chud
well, looking up from the newspa
per he was reading by the light of
the lamp. ‘With my stick! 11l
have none of .his poßy and liger
lily business on my farm, and you
and Joe Fielding may as well un
derstand it first as last.’
Pool Tiny! Well, what else
could she have expected* Had i l
not been so all her life long* |

LAWRENCEVILLE A February 23 1886
Chudwtll bad no tiger-lilies blos
som iutr by the door stone. Vet
Joe Fielding always kept a tall
sta'k of the vivid orange flowers
*n the broken tumbler on the sink,
where Tiny washed the dishes.
“So Blifll has sold the trnrt
gage,” said Mr Chudwtfll, one day,
with a strange working of bis thin
and wrinkled lips. “Well, I don’t
knew as I could have expected
anything different of him. But I
would like to who has
bought it! No maD likes to have
a trap sprung upon him unexpecl
edly. They needii’t think I’m go-,
iug to make them any troiio u,
though
“I’m ready to move into the lit
tle house at 1 linn’s Corners any
day I receive legal notice. Though
I little thought, when I borrowed
that tw4> thousand pounds, it would
ever be foreclosed on me like
this!’
‘Weli,’ said Joseph Fielding,
who had come into the house to
get a new buckle for the harness
be was mending. ‘I don’t ealeu
late the rew man’s going to be so
dreadful hard on yon, squire!’
‘Do you know him?’ said Chud -
well sharply.
‘Do I know him?’ repeated Field
ing. ‘Like a book! And he says
you’re kindly welcome to live on
here all your days, just as if ‘.here
hadn’t been no mortgage on the
place, so long as you doa’t object
to his moving into the other part
of the house.’
‘What!’ cried Chudwell.
‘Father, father!’ exclaimed Tiny,
flinging both aims around his
neck, ‘it’s Joe has bought the
mortgage. And we are engaged
o be married. Mnd he has deedel
the place over to me. And you
are to s/ay here always—always,
father!’
‘I don’t deserve this,' said the
old man huskily, ‘I hain’t been
pleasant to neither if ye. But,’
wiih a sudden brightness comiDg
over his face. ‘l’d rather owe the
money lo ray own cbildien than
to anyone efae. ’
Joe came and sat down on the
table. Tiny brought her crochets
ing to the foot-stool close by, and,
thus they discussed the new fu
ture which lay’before them. And
Chudwell strangely, softly laid
his hand on Tiny’s dark-brown
head. -Tiny,’ said he, ‘l‘m sorry
about them tiger-dilies. I‘ve been
sorry ever since I dug ‘em up.‘
‘You needn‘t worry, squire,’
said Joe cheerfn/ly. Tve sot out
a row of new bulbs all the way to
the arbor in the garden, and a lot
of rose-bushes ready for the spring
blooming, and a hardy magnolia
bush. Tiny shall have all the
flowers she wants, God bless her!
And Tiny, glancing with shy
happiness into her lover’s face, felt
that the blossomstime of her life
had just begUD, while Mr. Chud
well musing in his old chair, was
beginning to wonder whethei it
was jast possible that he might
have been mistaken all these years
about his theory of life and its
accessories.
‘Pr’aps the yoang folks are
right.’ he said to himself. ‘Yes,
it s very possible that they may
be right. I’m wrong, anyhow—
that’s cei tain.’

creditor refrains from ‘duuning?’
What sort of molality is that
which satisfies itself in the D'.n

AN ESSAY ON LOVE.
Love is a disease. Like the
mumps, it is something that every
body is going to catch sooner or
later. It is like the measles, the
older you are when you get it the
harder it goes with you and the
longer it takes you to get over it.
There is no preventive. Vaccina
tion and inocculatiou will not
keep it off, Carbolic acid is pew'
erless; onions tied up in the
breath and worn in the evening
have been known to cure mild
cases.
Love is commonly described a*
a disease of the heart, This is
true to a great extent, but not al -
together correct. The diagnosis
of love is simple. There is genei*
ally a great deal of palpitation, of
ihe heart, and symptoms of sof/en
tng of the brain: the muscles of
face generally present a relax d
condition, and there is a distant,
far away look about the counteu
ance at times At other limes
there is a soft, subdue? l look
about the eyes; there is always
more or iess innoluntary convul
sion of the facial muscles, aod the
poor victim goes around with eyery
appearance of Saint Vitus dance
There is a general derangemen*
of the nervous system: the sufferer
is feverish and chilly by spells
and theie is always a certain
amount of delirium- the appetite
craves something sour; The cons
stitution is terribly shattered and
there is a strange feeling of gone
ness about the whole system.
I have often wondered how
Brigham Young stood as many
attacks as he did. I have laid
awake many a night speculatii g
on the number of pickles consumed
in Utah.
Love atlackß both sexes %t all
ages, but manifests its severity
reversely iu each. Young girls
and old men get il worst. The
older, the more pronounced the
disease, and scientists claim tni ß
on the ground that they always
take to widows or old maids, if
there is anything in the werid
calculated to make hoary headed
wisdom totter on het throne, it is
love.
According to statistics, love
causes ninety-nine hundred and
ninety-nine per cent of d e misery
in tbie world.
People suffering with this dis
ease always write poetry. The
other one per cent is caused di
rec"y or iudircctly by genMo
or beautiful snow. People m Eve
are fable to do almost anything.
1 huve known some to marry for
love, others marry for money-
History states that men and wo.
men eighty years old have married
for lyve. They were old enough
to know bettor. When persons
catch love and disappointment at
the same tune their systems are
irreparably thrown out of order.
People tbai nave nev<u- caught
this disease always march through
life in single tile and are noted
principally for iheir cranky cussed
ness.
Love is marvelous iu its ways.
I have kuowu Jove to cause a d tide
to spend his entire fortune on
two pla’es of ice cream; to stop a
man swearing until after he was
married; to cause a man to put on
a e’ean shirt; to cause a man to
soak hi* hegdln hail oil and go to
church and act bke a Christian.
Cupid is said to represent love
He is a pioture of a srnull boy in n
summer suit of clothes, and has a
bow and arrows. He keeps his
arrows in a quivar. He also near
ly keeps his victims in a quiver.
This last is a joke. I always try
to work in a joke somehow Cu
pid is also said to carry a bottle
of laudanum and to have a seven
shooter ia his hip pocket.
Marriage is the only sure cure
for love.—Peck’s Sun
MY NEIGHBOR AND 1.
lam mad at the mm on the
south-west corner of the block,
and he is mad at me, and it’s all
on accouut of nothing at all. We
bought a mantel and grate just
alike and costing the same price.
We had tiling just of the same
pattern, laid down by /he same
mar For five years we were tike
brothers. If I had a sick horse, I
consulted him. We went over to
his house to play old sledge, and
his family came over to my house
to play croquet. I'd have turned
out of bed at midnight of the
darkest night you ever saw, ami
walked twenty miles through mud
thirty feet deep, to bring a doctor
in case of sickness, and I'm cer
tain he'd have done full_, as much
for me.
Id an unfortunate hour my
brother-in-law fro/u Chicago paid
me a visit. He said the man
tle was very handsome aod the
grate a perfect beauty, and add
ed :
‘•But you want a brass fender.”
“Wo!”
“Certainly you do. It will bt
an immense improvement/'
A day or two after he returned
home he sent me a brass fendei
from Chicago. He not only sent
it as a prosent, but paid the ex
press charges. Some one told the
man or. the southwest corner that
I had a brass fender.
“/1 cau t be!_’
•‘But be has.”
‘Til never believe it !”
“But, I’ve stjen it - '’
“Then be is a scoundrel of the
deepest dye 1 Some folks would
i mortgage their souls for the sake
of showing off a little !"
When this remark was brought
to me I turned red; clear buck to
the collar-button. I called the
southwest corner man a liar and a
horse thief. I said that hie grand
father was hung for murder, and
that his oldest brother was in
State Prison. I advised him to
sell out and go tuthe Cannibal
islands, and I offered to buy his
house and turn it into a soap
factory.
The usual results followed. He
killed my cut and I shot his dog.
He complained of my alloy, and 1
made him put down a new side
walk. He called my bor&e an old
plug, aud I lied about his cow
and prevented a sale. He got my
church pew away by paying a
higher price, and 1 destroyed his
credit at the grocery, He is now
maneuvering to have .he city com
pel me to move my barn
nine sett, and I have all arrarge
ments made to buy t e douse
next him and rent it to an under
taker as a coffin wareroom.

BEAT HIM WITH A CLOCK
A highly sensational and excit
ing occurence was reported to the
police headquarters in Paris last
week, in which twc. very wealthy
and highly respected persons fig
ured. They are Baron Artaud
Haussman and Count Montouzan-
From what is learned it appears
that both gentlemen bad been
for some time paving attentions
to the same woman, and that Bi
ron Artland, discovering that she
showed more preference for his
rival than himself, called upon the
Count at his rooms at the Hotel
de Louvre, and demanded that he
cease his attentions.
This Count Mojtauzau refused
to do, wtiereupor. Baron Hausss
man became so enraged he seized
the clock from the man tie and
smashed it to pieces upon the de
fenseless head bf the Count, He
next drew a revolver and ftred
two shots into the Count, and
ended the assault by s/abbiug him
witc a dagger The Count fell
senseless to the floor, bleeding
profusely. The noise and cries
of the Count, however, attracted
the attention of th 6 other guests,
who succeeded in detaining the
blood thirsty baron from killing
his rival outright. Ue was hand
ed over to the police, and his vic
tim placed under the care of doc
tors, who were immediately sum
moned. A cursory examination of
Count Montauzan's wounds was
made, and physicians, expressed
the belief that he would recover.
The affair causes excitement in so
ciety circles, of which both gentle
men are prominent members.
