Indianapolis Journal. ANCIENT LOVE STORY. I sat spinning at my little wheel In the sun, for the autumn day wascold, when i heard someone whistling;and, looking up, theie was young Squire Turner loaking over. When he caught my eye he laughed, I blushed, and rose and made him a courtesy. " j was a handsome gentleman, the squire, and the band from which he pulled the glove shimmered in the tun with pearls and diamonds; and he was bonny to look at with his hair like spun gold in the October sun light. When I courtesied he bowed, mak ing his curls dance over his shoulders, and said he, "I've spoiled one pretty picture that I could have looked at all day, but I've made another, so I'll not grieve. May I come in?;' 'And welcome, sir," said L. and placed a chair for him. He was grandfather's landlord, but for all that I felt uncomfortable, Tor I was not used to One company. He talked away, paying me more compliments than I was used to, for grandmother, who bad brought me up, said, "Handsome is as handsome does," and "Beauty is butskin deep." Cino I'm rollinc the stnrv I'll tell 1H. V X ... I,' . i .... p, ' - J the truth. 1 had doue wrong about one thing. Neither of the old folks knew that I wore Evan Lock's ring In my bosom, or that we'd taken a vow to each other beside the haw thorn that grew in the lane. I never meant to deceive, but grannie was old, and a little hard, and that love of mine was such a sweet secret Be sides, money seems to outweigh all else when people have struggled all their lives to turn a penny, and they knew Evan was a poor, struggling young surgeon. I thought I'd wait a while until I could sweeten the news with the fact that he'd begun to make his fortune. Grannie came in from the dairy five minutes after the squire was gone, and heard be had been there. 1 didn't tell her of his fine speeches, but j there was a keyhole to the door she came through, and I have a guess she heard them. That night we had something else to think of. Misfortune had come upon grandfather; but I didn't fore see that, when the half year's rent should tome due, not a penny to pay it would be found. All this time Evan Locke and I had been as fond as ever of each other, and he came as often as before to talK wun grandpa on winter uiguus, and still every little while young Squire Turner would drop in and sit In his lazy way, watching me knit or spin. Once he was flushed with wine and over bold, for he tried to kiss me. But 'squire or no, I boxed his ears, ana not more gently than I could help, cither. I could not prevent his coming, and I did not deserve that Evan should be angry with me. But he was oh, so high and mighty, and spoke as though one like the squire could mean no good by coming to so poor a place as tbe school-master's. He made me angry, and I spoke with asperity. "For that matter, the squire would be glad to bave me promise to marry him," said L "He thinks more of me than " "Maybe yon like him better!" "I don't say that But bad temper and jealousy scarce make me over fond of another. I pray I may never hare a husband who will scold me." Well, Bran was wroth with, me and I with him not heart-deep, though, I thought and 1 did not see him for more than a week. I was not troubled much, though. I knew he would come round again, and maybe ask my par don. For before you are wed you can bring your lover to his senses. So I did not fret at Evan's absence, nor quite snub the squire, who liked me more than ever. But one night grandfather came in, and shutting the door stood between grandmamma and mc. looking at me, and so Urangely that we both grew fright ened. At last be spoke: I've been to the squire's.'' said he. "For the first time I had to tell him I couldn't pay tbe rent when due." . I opened my Up. Grandmamma covered them with her hand. Grandpa drew me to him. "Thoa'rt young, lass," said he. . and they are right who call thee pretty. Child, could'st thou like the mm Ire well enough to marry him?" Eli?" cried grandma. "Sure you am waodiiig?"

"I knew the lass would be lucky." But I put my heaaongranaiausers shoulder and bin my face. Tw .rata must out now, lknew. "Wilt have him and be a rich lady'" said my grandpa. "So:" I sobbed. "The lass is frightened," said grandmamma. "Say, we mast all wed once in our lives, my child." Then grandpapa talked to me. He told me how poor they had grown, and how kind the squire was, and I had but to marry him to make my grandparents free from debt and pov erty all their lives. If I refused and vexed the squire, Heaven only knew what might happen. "Surely stoe'll never ruin us," sobbed grandmamma. "All, it was hard to bear, but now there was no help for it. I took the ring from my bosom, laid it on my palm, and told them it was Evan Locke's, and that I had plighted my troth to him. And grandmamma railed me a deceitfut wench, and grandpa looked as though his heart would break. Oh, I would have done anything for them anything but give up my true love. That night I kissed his rino- and nraved that he might love me always. In the morning it was j gone, ribbon and all, from my neck. 1 1 looked for it high and low, but found no sign of it I began to fear the loss of that dear ring was a sign that I would never marry Evan Locke. The days passed on and he never came near me. "Oh, it is cruel in him to hold such anger for a hasty word he had pro voved," I thought "He must know I love him." Grandmamma would scarcely look at me I know why now and grand pa sighed and talked of the work house. I thought I should die of grief. One day grandma said to me, "It seems to me that your lover is not over anxious to see you." "Why not?" "Where has he kept himself this month or more?" "He's bus v. doubtless," said I sniil- "Dinna be vexed," she said. "Jut bide a wee and answer what I speer.

"Where?" She went to kitchen door and beck oned to a woman who sat there Dame Coombs, who had come with eggs. "I heard you rightly," she said. "You told me Evan Locke and his mother were making ready for a voy age?" "They're going to Canada. My son, a carpenter and a good one, though I say it made the Doctor a box for his things. The old lady dreads the new country, but she goes for the Doctor's sake. There's money to be made there.', "I told you so." said grandmother. "I don't believe it," said I. "Tbey have sold the house and gone to Liverpool to take ship; and you may find the truth for yourself, if you choose to take the trouble. I'm no chatterbox to tell falsehoods about my neighbors," said Dame Coombs. And still I would not believe it un til I had walked across the moor and seen the shutters closed and the door barred, and not a" sign of life about the place. Then I gave up hope. I went home pale and trembling, and sat down at grannie's feet "It is true," I said. "And for the sake of so false a lad you'll see your grandfather ruined and break his heart, ana leave me a widow 1 who have tended you from a baby. " I looked at her as she sobbed, and found voice to say: "Give me to whom you will, since my own love does not want me. " I crept up-stairs and sat down on my bedside, faint and trembling. I would have thanked Heaven for for getfulness just then, but it would not come. - . The next day the young Squire was in the parlor as my accepted lover. How pleased be was, and how the color came back into grandfather's old face! Grannie was proud and kind, all the house was aglow, and only I sad. But I could not forget Evan Evan whom I had loved so, sailing away from me without a word. I suppose they all saw I looked sad. The Squire talked of mv health, and would make me ride with him over the moors for strength. The old folk said nothing. They knew what ailed me; only our little Scotch maid seemed to' think that aught was wrong. Once she said to me: "What alls ye, miss? Your eye is dull and your cheek is pale, and your braw, gran' lover canna mak' ye smile; ye are na' that ill, aither, 1 opine." "No, I'm well," wild I. She looked at me wistfully. "Gin ye'd tell me your all, I might tell ye a cure," she said. But there was no cure for me In this world, and 1 couldn't open my heart to simple Jennie. So the days rolled by, and I was close on my mar riage eve, and grannie and Dorothy Hume were busy with my wedding robes. ' I wished It were my shroud they were working at Instead. .One night the pain In my heart grew too great, and I went ont among the purple heather on the moor, and there knelt under tbe stars and prayed to he taken from the world. Oh, Evan, my Bran, how can 1 live without thee?" I cried. As I spnkettoe wordslstarted upln affright and then at mr aide was an elfish little figure, Scotch Jennie, who had followed me. "Why do ye call for your true love now?" she asked. "Ye tent him fra ye for the sake o the yoang quire." I tamed on nor fiercely. , How dare you follow me and watch me" Idesaoded. easeantla-jr attara. and gave him a ring, said I dinna ken, but the tint o' death, and said he, 'There's na a drop o' true bluid in any ' woman:' And he turned to the wall and covered his eves, an' your grannid drove home. That's all I ken wuU it do?" ! "Ay, Jennie, "said I: "Heaven bless ' you for telling me!" I flew to the cottage and stood be fore grannie. Trembling and white) 1 said, "Tell me, grandma, have yoii cheated me and robbed me of my love by a lie? Did you steal the troth ring from my neck and give it to Evan as if from me? you whom I'vo loved and honored m life long"' She turned scarlet "Your love:" said she. "You've but one true love now tlie s iuire." "You have done it:" lcried. "It's writrcu on your face"' She looked down at that, and fell to weeping bitterly. "My own love was breaking bis heart" she said. "My husband and I have loved for forty years. I did i I to save him. Could I let a girl's fancy stand in my way and see him a beggar iu his old age?" I fell at her feet like a stone, and knew nothing fur an hour or more. When I came to 1 was alone with Jennie. 1 bade her set my hood ami cloak and her own, and come with me, and off I went across the mmr in the starlight to where the hall win dows were abaze with light, and asked the prim old housekeeper to let me see the squire. She stared at me for my b-jldness no wonder but called him. So in a moment he stood before me in eve ning dress, his cheeks flushed, his eyes bright, and led me into a little room and seated me. "Agatha, my love, I hope no mis chance brings you here at " I stopped him. Squire Turner," 1 you for thinking so after all that has "Sot your love, said. . "I thank well of me, but passed, " I could say no more. hand as I began co sob. "Have I offended you in any way, Agatha?" he asked "Sot you. The offence the guilt oh, 1 have been sorely cheated"' And then I broke down aealn. He waited patiently till strength came to mc, and I told him all how we had been plighted to each oil".- waiting only for better prospects co I c wed, and how, when he honored me by an offer of his hand, I angered my grandmother by owning to the truth, and of the ring grannie had stolen from my neck, and the false message that had been sent my promised husband as if from me. "And though I may never see Evan Locke again," I said, "I can never be another man's true love, for I am his until I die." As 1 thus spoke the rich celor died out of my listener's face the hand some young squire was in tears. t At last he rose and came to ma ' "My Agatha5 never loved me," he said. "Ah, me! The news is bad I thought she did. This comes of vanity." "Many higher and fair have hearts to give as well as I. Mine was gono ere you saw me," I said. And then, kind and gentle, as though I had not grieved him, he gave me his arm and saw mc across the moor, and at the gate paused and whispered: "Be at rest, Agatha. The Golden George has not sailed yet" I liked him better than I had ever done before that night when I told grannie I would never wed him. Oh, but he was fit to be a king the grandest, kindest best of men, who rode away at dawn on the mor row and never stopped till he reached Liverpool and found Evan Locke Just ready to set foot upon the Golden George and told him a tale that made his heart light and sent him flying back to me. Heaven bless him! And who was it that sent grand father the deed of gift that made the cottage his own, and who spoke a kind word to the gentry for young Doctor Locke that helped him into practice? Still no one but the Squire, for whom we taught our children to pray every night For we were married, and when our eldest child was two, the thing I needed to make me quite happy happened, and from over the sea, where be bad been for three years, came our Btately young Squire witb bis bonnie bride beside him, and at last the hall had a mistress of ite own a sweet girl who loved tier lord as I loved Evan. This Is an old story. Her that I re membered a glil I saw in ber coffin withered and old. They opened tbe vault where the Son I re had slept ten years to lay her beside him. I have nothing left of Evan, my life love, but a memory; and It seems as It every hope and dream of joy 1 ever had were put away under tombstones. Even tbe Gulden George, the great strong thip that would bave borne my dear from me, has mouldered away at the bottom of tbe sea. And I think my wedding ring Is like to outlast us all, for I hare it yet, and I shall be ninety to-morrow. Ninety! It's a good old age, and It can't be long now before I meet Evan and the rest beyond tho pearly gates.

Grant was one of the coolest men in the world; but his splendid confidence and cheerfulness often partook of the nature of enthusiasm, and inspired his soldiers, as well a in after years his civilian fellow-citizens, with ardent admiration and sympa thv it is a somewhat strange thing that France, the nation of hot blood, should have produced a long line or generals who showed the completes! sang froid on the Held of battle. Napoleon sometimes assumed a cer tain ardor, but nothing could excite him if he did not choose to le ex cited. Murat Napoleon's dashing chief of cavalry, whose splendid enthusiasm won many desperate charges, could be as cool as his master upon occasion. At the taking of Moscow, while t.ie troops sat in their saddles under a murderous fire, Murat received a dis patch to which an answer was re quired. Though his mettlesome horse was trembling, Murat laid the reins upon the horn of the saddle, took his note-book in one nauu aim a (.. in the other, and bean to write a re sponse. , , Suddenly a shell fell and exploded on the ground close by. The horse leaped into the air and swung wildly around. Murat simply transferred the pencil to the hand that held the note-book, calmed the horse with the other hand, and then went on writ ing his dispatch as if nothing had happened. A shout of admiration went up along the line. Murat saw that the enthusiasm aroused by his trilling act had created a favorable moment for a charge. He gave tho order, and his men swept clear through the enemy's line, It is said that Gen. Reynier once saved the French army in Calabria, in 1806, from a complete rout simply He took iiiv by the manner in which he siiiokeu I a cigar.

His soldiers ral lied under the inspiration of the queer spectacle, and got off in good order. Perhaps the most cold-blooded com mander who ever lived was the French General, Saint-Cyr. He was a great tactician, but totally neglected the morale of his men. He was never seen on horseback, and never showed himself before the lines. On one oc , casion, when he was simply a General ' of the Division, the impetuous Mar shal Oudinot puzzled to know what to do in an emergency, asked Raint Cyr's advice, frankly telling him tliat he was "non-plussed." "You Monseigneur," said Salnt Cyr, "are a Marshal of the Empire, and I am a General of a Division. I shall faithfully carry out your orders, but it would not be becoming for me to advise you." Later on Saint-Cyr succeeded to the command of the army, and then adopted a peculiar method of general ship. He formed his plan of battle clearly, precisely and with admirable foresight Then he sent his orders to his subordinates, and shut himself up in his quarters; absolutely forbid ding entrance to a single soul. Then he took out his violin and went to studying a hard piece of music as tran quilly as if he had been in the midst of profound peace The battle which won Saint-Cyr his baton as a Marshal of the Empire was fought while he was Addling In his tent. He had apparently fore. seen everything, and the carrying out in um pmus completely crushed the enemy. Yrouth's Companion. Great BosrUnc. Roch & Robb of the Treasury De partment has just returned from a short sojourn at Atlantic City, and brought with him reminiscences of an ,.riprn a bowlinz alley which approaches the marvelous, says the Washingt-.n Post. Strolling Infi a bowling alley, be stood idly losing ou at a game in progress. Soon a fine looking woman, who had just made her appearance, approached him with a challenge to roll a game. "It's the only exercise I take, she explained, "and you surely will oblige me." , . He couldn't refuse, of course, but informed her of his being a score of years out of practice Hut this did not cut any flgtno, and the game be gan. Mr. Robb's fair antagonist bowled in great form, while he was not far behind. The strikes and spares were so common with the two that soon everyone became interested, and a whisjier went around that thev were both professionals and were giv ing a free exhibition. The lady rolled up a total of six consecutive strike?, and this made Mr. Robb a little anxious. "You will excuse me taking off my coat," he said. "Why, certainly," she sweetly replied, and of? came the coat Strike followed strike until ciifht went down to his credit "It seemed as if I couldn't help knocking them all down, and no matter how I would start the ball down came all the pins. There never was such rolling before if the keeper of the alley is to lie be lieved, and when I finally won by a short margin there was a burst of ap plause. Dr. Dally was present and when the keeperof the alley saw that the doctor knew me, he asked him who we wero." "Why, that's so-and-so and his wife. They are two of the best bow lers in the United States," was the doctor's answer. Then the owner came up to me, and in the hearing of the lady invited me and my wife to make use or tne aneyai any iiiue.iiru of charse. The lady enjoyed the joke, and for the sake of appearances I es corted her until we were out of slghw. I did not see her again." Weed-Maid. The Germans have some educa tional ideas which we In this coun try have borrowed with profit, and there are stlii others which we might be wise to adopt. Among them, no doubt arc the wall maps of different species of jx'sliferous weeds, which hang in schoolrooms where the chil dren can see them as long as they go to school. A practical Idea underlies the dis playing of these maps. It Is well known that farmers arc prone to treat all weeds alike and hardly to observe any difference between them; whereas the natures of weeds differ as much as the natures of any other plants do, and the s rt of treatment which will exterminate one will sometimes Increase and multiply an other. It is important, therefore, that the farmer and gardener should under stand the weeds which they are try ing to exterminate. It is here that these German wall maps come in. They show colored plcturesof the most pestiferous weeds, in all stages of growth, and also the ways in w hich they scatter their seeds and propagate themselves liy learn ing them thoroughly, through seeing them day by day on the walls, i be child grows up with a knowledge of the best way to exterminate them. it has been proposed that our agri cultural societies offer prizes for the best labelled collections of weeds not for the purpose of encouraging their cultivation, but In order to ex tend a knowledge of them, aud thus contribute to their extermination.
