Farmer Rrown was a rery respec
t.i toman He bad some oddities.
b it tbey were harmless ones, and
,,a,.,.ieah.i knew him best rather
laut-Led at taein thi.n feared tbem.
Tbe farmer bad two sons, Msreus,
a gooi steady boy, wbo, who work
ed with his father vu the farm, and
II or v. if, who was just borne from
college, aid was cooaidered "band
some" aud "smart" by all tbe neigb
brra. Mrs. Rrown bad been dead some
years, and ber sister, Miss Ermioeita
Griggs, belter known as "Aunt
Vnnr " was hout-ekecDer aud general
manager of all thi "men-folks" on tbe
farm.

jiroud of Lit "tjift." Aa sle wai also
a woman who always knew "what
wag what," and could gi?a it to you
in a nutshell, ber opinion tf tbe fami
ly was of course perfectly reliable as
well as pithy and concise.; '
"You see, Horatio is smart, but be's
lay. Here he's beca t'tonie 'most
two months, and here le is, readin',
and Gishin', and buntin'; that's what
'Katie does. And brother ain't very
patient, and naterally b don't like
tbat kind of doin's. He's awful dis
appointed, and gets angry at. 'Ratio;
but 'Ratio takes it aa cool as a cow
cumber, and brother gets ingrier and
angrier, and things ainti as they'd
orti r to lie. ow look at Marcus; ho
aint particular handsome to look at,
Imt 'handsome is as bandtlime does,'
That's what I sy!" 1
And what she said j was trne.
Marcus was very "handsome" in all
his doings, aud Horatio was, indeed,
very lazy. When his father ae.ked
him what he intended to do with all
his learning, Horatio would look
rery wise for a little while; 'and an
swer: . "; '
"I reaHy don't know," father. I
haven't decided yet. I am studying
nature just now." J "
Ibeo he would take bis gun or his
fishing line and saunter away, a9 if
nature had an appointment with him,
aud he bad just recollected it. And
Mr. Brown went back to his work.
grumbling to himself, and Sometimes
it made him petulant ever! with Auut
hrrny and with Marcus.! who had
done nothioir wronir. '
Things were bad enough in tbe
summer, but in tbe autumn. something
Happened which made tbera still
wors. One brieht. cool uioruinir.
w hen Horatio was on his wai to the
woods to ki.l partritlges, be saw a
great cloud of dust rising from the
middle of the road, and coming rap
idly towards him. Then he saw a
red cow, and the next instant, in the
thickest of the dust behind, be saw a
girl holding fast to the cow's tail,
aud runuiug with all ber might.
'Wby, that's Uazena' Hartman,
be said lo himself. Tben he said
aluud: "Zeua, what are you doing?"
'1 am having a ride!" she answer
ed, laugbiug merrily, and showing
all ber little teeth as she new out of
sight.
Rut Horatio ould not forget her,
Gazena's red cheeks, her flashing
eyes, ber curly brown hair flying in
tbe wiud, were before him all day,
aud saved tbe lives of many little
birds.
"How she has grown, and bow
bright and pretty she is! 'Having a
ride.' in deed! How handsome she
would look in a fine carriage!" And
be bad a great many other thoughts
on the same interesting subject.
After supper be ai-ked; his father:
"What is Hartman doicg now? Hoes
be get on well with bis little farm?"
"1 don't koow," answered "Mr.
Rrown, gruffly. "1 have enough to
do minding my own business, I don't
meddle with other people's." '
Horatio did not make any reply;
but as be had no business of bis own
to, mind. J.Lfv'nb 4" ts'W a &.
tils'' just a little. "Hartman is a
worthy man if he is a Putcbman, and
it would please him to be uoiiced in
a f-iendly way. Teople ought to be
kind to each other in Ibis bard world!"
Tbe very next morning Horatio
took ibe trouble to go to Hartman's
(arm, to be kind to bis neighbor.
Uazena was not vi.-ible, but Gazena's
father, short and stout, stood at the
gate, smoking bis pipe.
"Good-moruiog," said Horatio,
kindly "How do you do?"
'Io pretty well," answered the
farmer.
"Fine morning," said Earatio.
Mr. Hartman looked rornd to see
how fiue the morning was, but be re
served bis opinion.
"I hope Mrs. Hartman is well."
"Yes, yes, pretty well," answered
her husband. "She's v;ry bisscy.
We are all very bissy. Aud now I
go to vork in mioe field, flood-day."
A lew days afterward .he young
man went again to the litte farm and
presiuted some birds tc Gazena's
father. "I shot thjin m;self," he
exclaimed.
"So! I nefer kill te leeiie pirds."
said Mr. Hariuian regretfiily.
Then Horatio kindly offered to
carry them into the boose,
"N'tin, nein, I do dot mioeself,"
said the farmer. "Mine Jife, she's
very, very bissey always. " Sbevants
uo strange peoples rouud. Our place
is not a pig one, and I like to lif by
mineself.' j
Horatio understood thai de icatc
hint, and retired politely. He was
provoked, but he did not tell bis
neighbor so. l ne lamer u sucu a
daughter must be bumortd f he was
blunt.
As for Gazeua herself, Hora'io
could not understand be! at all.
When she haooeued to neet bim,
she gave a little nod a shylook, and
a merry smile, but sue neve spoke to
bim, or stopped long enougi for him
to speak to ber more than tinono.syl
lableortwo. She always emed to
be in a great hurry "very hissy,"
as bT father said. 1
At laet, one evening he ikt ber al
one ol tbe neir ubors. aid insisted
upon walking borne with lef Anil
as be was not sure that b wuulii
ever have such a good cbaaa again,
be decided to make the molt of it.
"1 have been trying to 'speak to
rnu for the last five mottbs," be
said. "Wby do you run atay
from!
me bo:" I
Oh. I don't know: it's oh
fun!'
answered Uaaena, laugbini
"It'a not fun to me," saw! Horatio.
It makes me feel very Vinhappy.
Do you dirlike me?"
"No, I don't care auyihug about
you. It's only the lun," said Gazena,
too frankly. I
"Rut won't you feel sorry for me,
and try to like me?" ai-ked Horatio.
"Like you!" she said. "That do
tou want me to like you for?
"Recause because -yoij know
tou will like somebody suetime,
and get married" ?
"No, never!" interrupted Gszena.
"I rli.n't want to eet marriec 1 am
going to be a nun. and work on the
j farm." 1
"No. tou won't." said 3oratn
"You wi!l eel married, and and I
wan't Tou to marry me."
Gazena stopped suddenly; looked
up at him wilb flashing eye-: "You
,re bad boy! Don't rou kow you

ehouldn't talk so to me?" she said,
hotly and fast. Then she ran away
and left him alone on the road,
v ..... t . i . .
.."us u i musi nave near a tne
conversation, and told the story, for
-rttuui trmy said to .Mr. Urown the
next evening: "So we're gone' to
bave a weddin'. I s'pose they'll have
to come and live here.'
"Who is coming to live here?"
Vt by baven't you heard?" Our
'Katio bas proposed to 'Zena Hart
man. Of coursa she'll have bim."
Farmer Rrown was so anrr at
first that he could not speak. But be
got over that in a few minutes, and
spoke bis mind pretty freelv to his
son. "I won't have it!" "he said
"You sha'n't bring a Hutch girl into
this house whore your mother has
lived not while I "live!"
"Who said I would?" said Horatio,
quietly enough; and he too was very
an;ry and disgusted with everybody,
Gazena included.
When Mr. Hartman beard the
story, it made him laugh, and he on
ly said: "Vat? Gif mine daughter to
von lazy man? Not much!"
Ga.ena did not laugh at all. She
cried every night when she was safe
in ber bed. ' Oh, what bad people
they are!" she said. ' I wish I could
get a chance to . speak my mind
to
somebody"'
She had ber wish. One afternoon
she met Farmer Rrown as he was
coin? to his fields. Tbev were alone
on tbe road and be spoke first.
"Look here, my girl, you had bet
ter be careful what you do. You
are not wanted at my house. You
understand?"
Gazena's face turned red, tben white,
but bhe answered bravely: "Far
mer Rrown, I aint your girl, so you
needn't call me so. And I don't
want to live with proud folks, and
work for my husband. We are so
good as you be, my father is!"
And away she ran.
Firmer Rrown was so surprised at
this speech that instead of gcing to
his fields, be went home and went to
bed, declaring tbat be was sick and
should die. Tbat was a way be bad.
It was one of his oddities.
Wbeu be was more tban ordinarily
troubled about his affairs, he always
thought he was going to die. Some
times be made a few last remarks,
then took a dose of rhubarb, and
tben the next morning he wa9 well
as ever.
So when Aunt Ermy called out:
"Come in quick boys! Your father
thinks he is dyin'!" the boys went in
to the house without hurrying very
much. Tbey had seen tLeir father in
the same condition before.
Tbe scene was qnite impressive.
Mr. Brown lay on bis bed, dressed in
bis Sunday clothes, his head propped
upon several pillows.
"Come here, boys," he said, in a
weak voice. "I am going to die for
good this time, and I want to speak
to you."
The boys stood by tbe bed, and
Aunt Ermy sat down near the pa
tient, who spoke thus:
"ErmT.you have been a good sis-
m. m s4 . wink ah
should star here till you die. You
dear, Marcus? Take good care of her.
Tbe house is yours, my son, and the
land; '.he whole farm is yours, be
cause you bave been a good and duti
ful son. Horatio, come here. I haven't
much to say to you. Here are fifty
cents. Go and by a rope to hang
yourself with."
Horatio took tbe fifty cents with
very faint thanks. If he bad any
doubts before, he was certain now
that bis father was going to die. He
did not even stay to see. He put on
bis hat and marched out of doors in
a transport ot mingled wrath and
mortification.
Alone in tbe open air, he begun to
plan what be should do. He would
go to a large city, and become a
great preacher, a great lawyer, a
great"
"No, I won't," he said, stopping
suddenly. "I will stay here and
work. I will be a great farmer, and
marry Gazena Hartman! Then we
shall see who will buy a rope and
hang himself! Aha! I will keep tbat
fifty cents for good luck" (taking out
tbe coin and holding it up in his fin
gers). "There, that's settled."
He went back to the house and to
bis room, slept a few hours, got np
very early, made a bundle of bis
clothes, and left the house before any
one was awake.
At broad daylight Farmer Rrown
got np, well and strong as ever of
course. Rut it was some time be
fore he discovered that his son was
gone.
The next day tbe whole Tillage of
Tus:ulum was all a buzz with great
news. 'Ratio Brown had left his
lather's house and bad gone aad hired
himself for a year to Mr. Maynard, of
WTest Farm! Wasn't it queer? and
how long would it last?
It lasted a whole year, to begin
with. Then it was said tbat Farmer
Maynard found Horatio so bandy
tbat be bad hired bim for another
year, and paid bim good wages, all
of which was true. During the first
and even tbe second year Horatio
was not once seen in Tusculum. But
one bright day, when Mr. Hartman
was enjoying his after dinner pipe,
surrounded by his women folks, there
was a knock at the door that startled
Gazena.
"Cooni In," said Mr. Hartman.
Anrl Horatio came iu.
fiaaena blushed rosr red. Mrs.
Hartman stared, and her husband
took the pipe out of bis mouth. But
before be bad time to speak, Horatio
said:
Mr. Hartman, I hare come to see
i i i
you on business, i nare woraeu
bard for two years, and am now a
pretty good farmer. I hare sared
all my wages, and bought forty aires
of woodland and a yoke ot cxen.
Now I bave a plan for making money
out of mr trees, and by next year 1
intend to buy forty acres more and
make more money. If I succeed.
will yon give me your daughter if
sbe ia willing?"
.V 1, W -!,. . nn,I knr"l
. . iy iwft nun. m wj .
said Mrs. Hartman. "He work
bard two rei im, and no mother, nor
no home, and h,( says nothing, but is
good and true all himself. Now I
like tbat: that's very good. I take
bim, and rou take him, father, and
'Zee A. she take bim, too. Sbe looked

and she err so to break her heart 1
a
LeraM
knowed it then. Now you take him.
father."
Two such long speeches overpow
ered Mr. Hartman. He "took"
Horatio.
Then Mrs. Hartman remembered
that ber chickens bad not yet . had
their dinner, ad Horatio was left
alone with Gazena and his dozing new
papa. Gazena had not said a word
all this time, and had tried to look as
if she were somewhere else, ' very far
away. How she felt, was what
IToratio wanted to know, fur he did
Lot much admire this Dutch way ol
courting. So be turned to the young
lady, and said: "Gazena, will you
come out on the porch with me?"
Gazena jjjt Bp obediently and went
to the porch, but she looked down at
some tin pans that were drying in
tbe sun, as if they were novel ob
jects, and both new and interesting.
Horatio took courage, and said
what he had to say as wall as he
could say it; tben he waited for Gaze
na s answer.
I will do as my father and moth
er sr, sbe answered; ' but there s
one thing: I have never been engaged
before, and I don t want to be en
hatred now. So, if you don't mind,
I'll be a nun, as I said I would, till
till"
Horatio did not mind, and was
quite willing to let her be a nun one
rear longer It was decided tbat be
would come every Sunday to see his
little nun, and tbat it was all to be
secret in the family.
"Recause," said Gazena, "I don't
want people to talk about it, and look
at me as u tbey baa never seen me
before."
Horatio was very happy and work
ed harder tban ever. He cut down
bis trees, and'burned tbe limber to
make "black salts," which he sold at
a good price in tbe city With that
money he bought forty more acres of
woodland, and, early in tbe spring,
he sowed wheat on his cleared land.
Then he hired from Farmer Maynard
a small cottage, with orchard and gar
den to match. It wis quite a pretty
little place.
"It will do rery well to begin
with," said Horatio, "and in two or
three years we will build a house just
as we want it"
"Yes, indeed," said Mrs. Hartman,
"you begin small and you grow big,
but you begin big and you grow
small; except you be rery ri"h, and
it is not ererybodr who can."
But now something was the mat
ter with Gazena. She did not look
aa happy as -might bave been ex
pected. No, sbe did not object to
tbe cottage; it was large enough for
her. Yes she was willing to give up
being a nun, and June was a very
pretty month to be married in. Rut-
"I will tell you what it is," she
said, one eveninsr, to Horatio. "I was
saucy to your father once, and I am
Borrr for it. tbooeh it was the truth I
told' him. I don't want to lire with
Droud folks to look down on me; but
I don't like to marry a man that
hasn't any father, when his father is
livinir." . ...
'Yoa mean that you want me to
make it up with my father"
"Yes, I mean just tbat Now
please go and tell him, and make
peace that will bring- us happiness.
It will be so right and nice:"
Horatio promised that he wonld
go, and he went the next afternoon.
It wag more tban three rears since
be bad left bis home. He had some
times seen Lis father riding past tbe
West Farm, but ther had never met
face to face, or spoken to each other.
Let him alone," Farmer Brown
had said to Aunt Ermy, when sbe
bad proposed to go aad see Horatio.
Let bim alone, and don t bother."
Rot when tbe weddin? was talked
about, Aunt Ermr could restrain her
self no longer. "Marcus, I suppose
rou hare beard that your brother is
going to be married?" she said, one
day after dinner, addressing ber
nephew, but intending her speech
reallr for her brotber-in law.
"Well." said Mr. Brown, "what of
t? It don't hurt ns any, does it?"
"No. bnt you see he bas taken
that Gazena."
"Of course he has. Wbr shouldn't
be? She is the pluckiest little girl I
erer saw!" and Farmer Rrown be-
gan to laogh.
Suddenly, wbile be was laughing.
the kitchen door opened, and Horatio
walked in. Tbey stared at bim Tor a
moment; tben be said:
"Well, father, bow about the fifty-
cents?"
"All right!" answered his father.
I nerer got so much out of fifty
cents in all mr life!"
"I declare! ' said Aunt Ermy, ad-
raucing upon itoratio witn open
arras. Thns peace was made and
sealed.
Tbe Brown-IIartman wedding was
tbe event of tbat summer. Erery
bodr in Tusculum remembers it to

After a substantial dinner at tbe

She was a lame woman. She limp
ed and carried a cane, and it was
natural to infer that sbe was lame.
As she entered the Twenty-second
street depot to wait for the train, she
as closely followed br a lame man.
He had a s'Jff knee and he also car
ried a cane. Two lame persons are
no great sight in this big city. Lame
men and women limp their lame way
np and down Manhattan Island and

Tbe lame woman took a seat, and
after a little sbe was joined by the

and as he dropped down he cheerful

'Quite a coincidence.
She made no reply. She was tig-lr

and bang herself if she looked as
homely as he did.

Who are you talking to. sir ?' sbe

'Madam, there roast be a kindred

'Are you addressing me ?' sbe ex
claimed, flushing rery red.
'I say, madam ; I say there must
be a kindred tie between us.'
'There is do such thing, sir, and I
don't want you to speak to me again,
sir !' sbe said.
'I am lame and you are lame,' he
went on. 'Rheumatism got into my
knee joint and spoiled one of the best
legs in New York State. Was it
rheumatism in tbe case of your letr,
madam ?'
'You drunken loafer, how dare yon
talk tbat way to me ?' she gasped.
I can furnish the best kind of ref

'and I suppose you could. But doesn't
it strike you as a curious coincidence
that we are both lame in our left

In bis reply to Dr. Carpenter under
tbe beading, "I repossessions for and
Against the Supernatural," Ir. ilc
Cosh says :
Everybody acknowledges tbat al!
witnesses are not to be trosted ; ret
in tbe common affairs of life, in trials,
in history, we do find testimony
which we implicitly beliere. To the
great body eren of educational men,
scientific knowledge depends upon
the trustworthiness of those who
bare made tbe obserrations and ex
periments. Notwithstanding all pre
conceptious. there are declarations of
men of science as to matters of fact
which we can trust ; and it would be
a riolation of their whole nature, in
fact it would be a miracle, were they
to deeeire us. Dr. Carpenter is en
titled to credit for baring helped to
expose the fooleries and rogueries of
spirit rapping, rope-tying, and of ler
itation. Rut be seems to tbink tbat
it is possible by tbe same method to
undermine tbe miracles of tbe Old
and New Testiment All wbo hare
inquired carefully into tbe subject see
tbat the testimony in faror of spirit
ualistic manifestation cannot stand
tbe common tests of evidence. But
it has been maintained by many of
the greatest and most sagacious
minds, and by the highest moral
minds which our world has produced,
that tbe testimony m behalt of the
essential erenta of tbe New Testi
ment cannot be set aside without un
dermining tbe whole of ancient histo
ry. Even at first sight tbe spiritual
seancta and performers bare no mor
al prestige in tbeir farcr. The pro
ducts are unworthy of God, and in
consistent with His mode of opera
tion in nature. We can discorer mo
tires enough to induce them to act
as they do such as tbe desire to cre
ate wonder with some the hope of
getting money. How different with
our Lord, who, so far from taking
adrantage of the wonder-luring ppirit
of the Jews, actually restrained it !
The wonders of the Spiritualists are
p?rforroed in rooms prepared for that
purpose or in darkness, whereas tbe
miracles of our Lord were performed
in open day, io unexpected circum
stances, and before all men. Tben
tbe whole teaching of Jesus was to
tally abore and altogether opposed
to tbe spirit of bis age and
nation,. and only exposed
Him and His followers to oppropri
om, poverty and suffering.

Tbe Cheyenne IsaJer says : Last
evening, shortly after eight o'clock
Miss Jennie Martin, a sister-in-law of
our City Clerk, George B. Stimson,
aged tit teen walked up seventeenth
street Sbe was leading her aister'a
child and was accompanied by Mien
Minnie Montgomery, a girl of about
tbe same age, Reaching Eddy
street the two crossed it, and at Un
derwood and McGregor's coroner
turned to go up Eddy street intend
ing to risit the Catholic church.
Miss Montgomery noticed sereral
colored boys plariog in the middle of
tbe street, but paid no attention to
tbem. The girls walked along and
bad gotten but a few yards from tbe
eorner Miss Montgomery being on
tbe outer edge of tbe walk, with the
child between her and Miss Martin
when tbe latter's bead beiog turned
slightly toward the building, a shot
was Bred almost in Miss Montgomery a
ace and ber companion fell upan tbe
walk, a small round bole in tbe right
temple, near to aod a little abore the
eye, showing where tbe bullet enter
ed tbe brain of the unfortunate girl.
Miss Montgomery at once screamed
for aid, and, before it reached ber,
endearored to raise the body herself,
tbe right band of tbe murdered girl
still clasping tbat of ber little rela
tive. People rushed to the spot, and the
corpse was conveyed nrst to rreu
.andau's market, when after tbe face
had been washed, it was taken to
Mr. Stimpson's residence, where an
cquest will be beld upon it to-day.
At first speculation was rife as to
bow and by whom tbe deed was
committed. Two or three ladies wbo
were walking on Ferguson street
beard the shot, and immediately af
ter met a mao running at headlong
speed in tbe direction of the depot
It was thought by some tbat be bad
fired the fatal shot, probably by acci
dent, and becoming alarmed. wa

train.: Our vigilant Sheriff, Nick
O'Brien, was oo band, however, and
within ao hour after the commission
of tbe act tbe suspected party was
lodged in jail. It prored to he a

ler. A rather well authenticated report
reaches ns to tbe effect that youog
Butler bas made threats against the
life ot Miss Martin, and if this be
true there can be no doubt but that
be committed the fearful act deliber
ately creeping quietly upon bis ric
t'm, taking only to sure aim, and
pulling tbe trigger with the coolness
and skill of a practiced marksman.
We hope tbat it wis not a planned
murder, but eren if accidental tT.e
