'Ii (In an ri Tarn n'i Andali I. a ' ii'le ice-honnd brook; r I'k a noisy stream): 1. 1. to take a last load look. ::uieu use a c Bessie and Luke. Tlie stage-driver was a rough-look-in; giant, his big paw hidden away in fox akin gloves, aud his bodjr well covered with a buffalo-sklii coat. He flung the snail bag into the sleigh, untied the ponies, and his shoot of "all aboard!" brougtjt out a solitary traveler for the cold ride of eighteen miles over tbe enow-covered hills of Wisconsin. "Weather is breakin' a little jtist now, bat it has been awful on this route," re marked the driver, as the ponies got away. "I kin git along fur rate with live or six degrees below, but when it comes to ten in the valley, there's good fifteen on the bills, an' tbe wind e'en tnnst cute tbe ponies in two." Wisconsin winter weather never makes a failure, and when a snow-storm 1 begins, there is no fet up until the heavens have sent their last flakes. Tbe now was two feet deep either side of the single track in the center of the highway, and where the wind bad a good sweep there were drifts covering ttie fences, with several feet to spare. No other teams cane after none were encountered. Tbe fierce, cold wind was too much for farmers and ordinary travelers. Tbe United States mail bad tbe track to itself. Wrapped in furs, blankets and robes, and hot bricks teaming away on tbe straw, stage driver and traveler rode in silence for miles. By-nnd-by. as the ponies slack- ; toed their pacea little to climb a long , bill, the driver pointed to the right and asked : "D'ye see that log-ba un thar? Bar it in mind an' I'll tell ye a story." It was a gloomy pile of logs, curtain down over the windows and snow-drifted clear to the sills, and most of tbe land around it was sterile hill or tangled thicket. Over the hill, and half a mile beyond, and the driver pointed again and said : "An' now take a peep at that place place, an' I'll begin tbe story." It was a small frame-house this time, partly surrounded by a wind-break of poplar trees. Tbe house was old and weather-beaten. The windows were eovered with frost, tbe path to tbe gate was bidden by drifts, and tbe only liv ing thing to be seen wasairaorold horse standing on tbe lee-side of a hedge. His ribs could be traced clear from tb? road, and be greeted the horses with a neigh, telling of hunger and lonesoweness. "Three weeks ago," began tbe driver, as he cleared his throat, "both o' them places was full of cheer. Tbe one back there bad an old man, bis wife, and handsome daughter, an' this one was occupied by a bachelor named Luke Warner. I don't know bow he came to live here alone; but here lie was, au' he worked bard, an' took eare o' things, but he bad a bite to eat for beggars, an' a good word for travelers. Them folks b&k in tbe log-house were kinder new to this section." Tbe driver pulled tbe robes away from bis moutb aud went on : "Cracky to grasbue, didn't they have a handsome gal ! She was trim as an angel, handsome as a Jane day, and it was nateral that Lake should fall In love with her. He was at least thirty five, an' neither good lookln' nor ede cated; but you ean't tell when a gal is goin' to love or bate.' I speet it riled tbe old folks to think she'd take up with a farmer, an' I s'poee they forbid him comiu' there, leastwise that was the talk along the road last fall. Luke pegged away tbe same as ever." "How old was tbe girl?" asked tbe traveler. "'Bout eighteen or nineteen, and she had hair like gold. It joet makes my heart acbe to remember her. Well, it seemed that her and Luke were bound to marry. Tbe old folks wouldn't give in, and Luke fixed it to be married down here a bit at tbe red farm-house. Tbe preacher was to be there, a crowd was com in' to dance, and tbe gal was to slip away from home an' come dawn with Luke, kinder hand iu hand, as tlie newspapers say. The gal got away in the evening; walked over to Luke's, and he bad bis horse and sleigh ready. Tbey got started all right, happy as two doves, but they had only turned out of ".r11 to w.

Mer looked back over the lonely mjSKmT7r ,m,K bUi. ud went on: Lr'J only known how it came Lake's horse fell i ,to te ditch. id then tie lovers ,t out foot. They went right a" in the rlrefTu" storai, determined to reach U . ml farm boose. Right ahead here, juai iiaif wav between tbe houses, is where we foumi 'em. Tbe storm raged for three -lays, uu iu uir fin tne anna were ten feet high. Wheu it cleared away, u,P gal wi missed, Luke wa. missed, ami a gaug of us sot out to search the road. Wefouud the horse dead and stiff", and then we knew it was all up with the children. We hod an awful time dig gin' through these drifts and tracking tbe pair, and just nnder this hill here is whar we found 'em ! ' He waited half a minute for an an swer that didn't come, and then he said: "May tbe Lord blest Luke Warner ! When tbe snow got deep, he had taken the cal oo his back. When he fouud (the was freezin to death, he had taken oft" his coats an' put them around her, and his vest was bu ttonpl a rou im! Iter best!, to take tlie place pf her lost bat.

Xews comes that tbe erratic poet of tbe Sierras is nearlng Waablncton. in anticipation of his coming, I heard two ladies discussing him: "lie is tbe soft est, silliest dunce with women too fool ish to respect. I had such an admira tion for Ills splendid poetry, and when I was introduced to Joanuiu Miller, he said, in tbe most aileoted way, 'The dear little white band, liow beautiful!' and in a few moments told me to nut my hand in my muff, or he should gomRil." At a dinner party or lunch to which be was invited bv a literary lauv of Washington, the lady of the house told him she had made and baked the bread herself. "Very good bread, ma'am, but I am used to better: I can make better myself I was brought up to it. l UKe it with a good thick orunt I s han't It; it isn't I on the bottom; this baked on tbe bottom The lady, mueli confused, Intimated that it was pretty good broad for a blue-stocRlug to make, she tbouirbt.

A young lady present, tingling with mortiflcation at bis rudeness, asked him innocently. , a few moments after, "Mr. L't.3ICreek North Canytin-I-o anv of vnnr rwumt r.on 1 Ti",S6V!fr lP Creaky Roselmrg, SeoUs-1 i? y .?

"What Is your name, ray 'good man?" asked tne Kindly eustodlau of the Insti tution. "I. sir. am Samuel J. Tilden. Presi dent of the United States," replied the old man.
