I have been waiting for your answer us long as I can wait, aud you must tell me now. Gussie, do you love me?" Will Hammond stood at one end of the long snowy pine table, looking very uauusuuio uuu very muuu in earnest as he watched the saucy, graceful way Gussie Green tossed her head, and the bright color came warming her pretty cheeks. It made a pleasant picture, the big kitchen in the Greendale farm-house, with its dresser full of shining tins, its big, deep seated windows draped with spotless dimity; its dozen old fashioned rush-bottomed chairs, aud one great big cozilj'-cushioned rocker beside the cooking stove ; with its snowy floor, with here and there strips of bright tag carpet, its long white pine side table that was loaded down this cold frosty winter moruing with toothsome dainties in a fair way of preparation for the table. And prettiest of all was Gussie Greendale herself, with her bright brown and white calico dress, so neat ly 'covered by a big bib apron, her sleeves rolled up to her pink dimpled elbows showing small, exquisitly moulded arms ; with her pretty arch face, of clear brunette complexion ; her well-poised head with its shiny, dusky hair arranged neatly and be comingly; with her saucy, roguish ej'es, whose merriment hid the great depth of tender passion of which she was so capable. Will Hammond looked at her for fully a minute, all his heart in his eyes, while Gussie went complacently on with the work in hand, which, at that especial min ute, consisted of spreading delicious looking lemon custard on a layer of jelly cake. A minute, two, three passed, and the young man waited, and the girl spread custard with her dainty brown hand as though life itself was depen dent thereupon. Then he spoke. "Will you answer me, Gussie? Yes or no?" And Gussie raised her roguish, co quetish eyes with a demureness that be might have known was danger ous. "Beally, I don't know which it is. There, now, Will, are you satisfied ?"' Satisfied ! And he thought, as he bit his moustache in sheer vexation, that it took some magic skill he fear ed he never should "possess to woo this outrageous little enchanting flirt. Satisfied! With her delicious red lips pouting bo near him, and he not daring to kiss them satisfied, with that haughty little head so near his, and he not daring to cradle it on his breast! "Doubtless my content is supreme," he said bitterly. "Gussie did it ever seem to you that perhaps I mean what I say? Sometimes I have imagined you treat it all as a good joke and nothing more. Gussie"! You shall answer me! If you have an idea be yond having that custard spread smooth on your cake, you shall tell ime yes, or noi" And Gussie, with her fine-layered costard jelly-cake-poised on her fin gers, looKed critically,- admiringly at it, then at him. "Very well, Wifl, since yVu insist "upon-yes or no no!" And s"he Bat the cake- down with a I little emphasis." "JSo!" he. echoed, jn a voice that THURSDAY, MA.T was husky with tbesnddeand of the exquisite dream he had been indulg ing so long ever since ha had come to the Greendale farm-house in mid summer, and where he lingered oow(, out of all-prudence so far as his.buai ness wa3-concerned, attthe beginning of December, simply and solely be cause in-Gussie Greendale were cen tered all the hopes of hislife. And she had deliberately, said no. She .had coolly, almost coldly told him she did not lovehim, or its equiv alent. ".No! Gussie, you can't mean that you never can be so cruel I" "I mean just what I said I have that.habit. But T can offer.you every encouragement in asking-some other young ladies the same question who have other ideas than those of cake making, who doubtless will be very glad of a chance to S3y, 'yes.' Isn't this kitchen awfully hot?" Certainly Guseie's cheeks were re markably xed, but whether or not it was the heat of the kitchen, Willard Hammond did not inquire he had his auswer. And Gussie'fi fingers flew faster than usual, and the pantry doors elammed somewhat, and one entire pan of cookies were burned cinders while Gussie tively by the window. to small ova stood medita- "Think 3ou must be going, eh ? It is rather sudden, isn't it, Mr. Ham mond?" Farmer Greendale passed the warm tea biscuits and asked the question at the same time, and Gussie gave a lit tle start that no one saw at the ans wer'. "Rather sudden, Mr. Greendale, and yet-, when I think how I have prolonged my vacation, I feel Ishould have made my decisiou. weeks ago. Yes, I think I will leave you on Thursday of this week. He handed his cup to Gussie for his second installment of tea, with a per fectly onol nochalance of manner. Going on Thursday and this waa Tuesdny ! Only two more days ! And then, Gussie made up her mind she would not feel lonesome when he had gone; she had never been lonesome before lie came, why now ? And as she handed back his cup she struggled hard to shut her eyes to the fact that never again would life be as calm and rosy-hued as before she saw Willard Hammond, unless And, with the pervereness of wo- -immklzitl at leat.t -oOvc womankind Gussie's eyes sparkled, and her chee&s glowed, and the dimples came in her chin, and she felt dreadfully miserable to think of that "no !" And Mr. Hammond heard and saw with jealous pain, and forthwith be gan an easy conversation with Farmer Greendale. "I need not say howl regret break ing the pleasant connections I have had here among you, but it is, of course, impossible that such a life should last forever, delightful though it is. Besides, imperative summous from my cousin in Boston one of the prettiest, most bewitching little ladies you can imagine, Miss Gussie makes it a double duty for me to go." Gussie smiled and said "indeed" as camly as though he had announced bis intention of riding over the farm, while she experienced hot and cold thrills at thought of that cousin of his. "He only said it to make me jeal ous, and he shall not do it," Gussie said to herself, and then, with wo woman's inconsistency, went deliber ately at work thinking, and fretting, and groaning, until by Thursday morning she was almost the ghost of herself. Until this moruing, thiB Thursday morning, with a damp, raw east wind and a clouded, lowering sky, when Willard Hammond was going, Gussie had not entirely realized what it would be to her after be he had gone, who had been the very sunshine of her life for so many blessed weeks. But now, with all the bustle and ex citement of getting him off, aud now, when his trunk stood strapped in the hallway, and she had taken a peep in the room he had occupied, and that made her feel a3 if there was a funer al in the house, now knowing it was the last time she would ever 6ee h'is overcoat hanging on the hall-rack, or hear his tread on the stairs, Gussie came to a terrible realization of what she had done, howsiiehad crushed all the light, and warmth, and beauty, out of her life, and all because she was an inborn little coquette. And that citj" cousin of his! Gus sie wanted to choke her, whoever, wherever, whatever she was, that she dare be' so much to Willard Ham mond, whom sAe loved, for all she bad so cruelly refused him and, shall itbe confessed, with-not a doubt that he. would renew his offer. Would he renew it? Gussie sprang from the .window where she was watching one of the farm hands har nessing up the horses that were to take her darling away from her. Would he? The thought sent brilliant Hashes to the sweet eyes that had been dim for so many weary hours, and now comes the question, was it tmmalden Iy in-uef ? GuBsie went into the sitting-room where Mr. Hammond was alone, waiting for the horses. He glanced up as she came shyly in, looking very, fair to see. "I am still waiting, vou see, Miss GusBie. It is real good of you to come and help me be patient." -. "Miss Gussie!" He never bad call-1 161878.' - ed her so until that other day, and he never had. addressed .her, more famil iarly .since. "There is still some time, Mr.Ham- Imond nearly half an bouryet. lam sorry .you should be Impatient to T.. r - " awjiy-y He laughed Jiot the free jov ous laugh she so loved to hear, but a cold, constrained mirth. fit is rather strange, isn't it, after! being in no hurry for so long? What .a fine creature Ccesar Is!" Gussie knew he meant one of the tw.o handsome horses he could see, from the window, and she knew, too, that there was no satisfaction in .his farewell. He had ceased to care for her that was evident, or he -would have taken this golden opportunity and it was her own act that was recoiling in such fearful violence at her heart. She was trembling with nervous excitement-and jealous love and de spair. She saw the carriage come bowling up toward the front door; she knew She only knew she loved him dear ly, dearly, and she must lose him by her own cruel act. She could not endure it thisbrave, sweet, faulty girl, with her foolish little head and her loving big heart; and so do you blame her? I don't not a bit she went tremblingly up to her rejected lover, and laid her hand on his arm. "Mr. Hammond Will! don't go off so indeed indeed I wantyou to please please forgive me for what I said what I did not say I mean tr And the hot blushes and the tears came both at once, and through them both Will Hammond saw a glow in her eye that made him drop his over coatj and step nearer to her bo near, ber quick, hurried breathings were on his cheek. "Gussie! what do you mean? Gns sie, for God's sake don't cheat me if I am not. to have your love ! Gussie do you love me, darling?'' And it was the happiest moment'in both their lives.

Professor BatjitvHcperiments with electric light prove more successful as they are prosecuted, and hi3 proposi tion to light the city by this means is receiving more favor daily among our wisest economists. The sRieme is to have from fifteen to eighteen candies located in various parts of the city, in such away as to interlace the light and neutralize the shadows. Profes sor Barrett has a project in mind by which so great an elevation will not be necessary as has been supposed. In fact, a selecfion is to be made of the necessary number from the watch towers of the Fire Department. All that is necessary is to put in the en engines, machines, and candles, and place the; lighting of the city in the hands of the Fire Department, where it could be managed withoutaddition al expense, as there are already engin eers at the different points where the candles will be placdd. It is estimat ed that the cot of maintaining each light will be So for twenty-four hours, including labor, candle, and coal. The candle burns 20 cents, and lasts eight hours, making a light equal to 600 gas-jets. In this way S150.000 or more would be saved during the first year, and thereafter It would be much larger. As to the quality of the light, it can be made a3 steady a3 a gas-jet or an oil lamp. As to the internal ap plication it will be used readily and cheaply to 'light np machine shops, depots, or packing houses. Irt New York it is utilized in some factories to the exclusion of daylight on account of its superior intensity. On Wednesday evening, May 2d, at about 10 o'clock, the people of Lawn dale, in the extreme south-west limit of the city, were startled by the sud den illumination of the streets. The residents rushed out of their houses, in doubt whether the end of the world bad come, a comet had suddenly burst across the horizon, or Jove was about to thunder out of a clear sky. It is no exaggeration to say that their sleep was troubled that night, for they went to bed with the phenome non unexplained. The next day it was learned that the panic had been caused by Professor Barrett; seven miles away, at the North Side Water Works, who had turned the great electrio light upon them in commiser ation for their want of street lamps. This circumstance serves, to show the penetrpting power and utility of the new rival of the gas monopolies in Chicago. Inter Ocean.

In a word, as the Irishman made a cannon by tak ing a large hole and pouring iron around it, 60 the Mennonite mother of food and warmth is developed hy pil ing brick or stones round a hollow. Aware that such generalities are too vague, I will make my description more specific, and hope to render the whole mystery plain and level to the lowest capacity. The material used for the Russian furnace seems unimportant. Some employ common bricks, others stone; one builder told me he preferred to mix one part of sand with two of clay. In; his judgment this mixture re tained heat longer for radiation through a house. The position of a furnace is naturally as central as pos sible, because heat tends to diffuse it self on all Bides alike: Furnaces will, of course, vary in size with the size of the house. A good model is tubs: Length, five feet; heigbth, six, and width two and a half. The bricks employed are about six hundred, unless the walls be of extraordinary thickness. The struc ture may be said to have six stories. 1, the ash-box 2, the fire-box ;. 3, the oven; 4, smoke passage; 5, hot-air chamber; G, smoke, passage either to chimney or to drum in- an upper room. Many questions have been asked me as to the size of the fire or fuel-box. Its length is about four feet, its width and height each about a foot and a half. It is asked, "How is grass pressed or prepared for the fire-box?'' It is not prepared at all, but is thrust in with a fork as one would throw fodder into a rack. People suppose they must be putting in this fuel all the time. This is not the fact. At the house of Bishop Peters (43x27 ft.) 1 which is a large one for a new coun try, the grass or straw is pitched in for about twenty minutes twice, or, at most, three times in twenty-four houre. That amount of firing up suf fices for cooking and for comfort. It will be observed that the heated air strikes the oven, and also the res- ervoir oi uui air, ouiii auuve anu ue low, and that no particle of hot air reaches the chimney till after turning four corners. It works its passage. The iron plates, doors and shutters are such as an3 foundry can furnish. They are inexpensive. In a case where I inquired the cost, It was $5. Straw and old prairie grass have been thought as uselessas grave stones after the resurrection. But the recent utilizing of them is in keeping with the spirit of the age with developing patent flour best suited to human uses from that part of the wheat which bad been the food of hogs, and with planing mills so contrived that they feed their boilers with their own shav ings. Indeed it surpasses all witty invention'' in its line, unle3 it be the proposal, just now slated; for turning even tramps to an account, by clap ping them into the regular army, and sending them among Indians to soalp, or to be scalped, no matter which. Many Nebraska Yankees were made happy last-winter, thanks to the Men nonite Btove. More will be next win ter. That household blessing to an outsider seems capable of little im provement. But the Yankee will im prove it, for he has improved every thing else he baa borrowed every thing from watches to steam engines, ships, and even religion. It fact, his betterments in the last article are said to be .as manifold As If religion was intended For nothing else but to be mended. Thus Yankee cutenefs may render the Russian stove simpler, smaller, cheaper of better material of more elegant design of more economical combustion. But, as now used by Nebraska Mennonites, it is worthy of all acceptation by a prairie pioneer. A Hibernian, hearing of a stove that would save half his wood, said he would buy two and save the whole. The save-all that he was after he would have found in a Mennonite grass burner. The Price of Liberty. The case of Henrietta Woods vs. Zeb Ward, tried in the United States Court at Cincinnati the other day. is a pointed commentary on the kind of a government we bad nnder the' rule of the old pro-slavery Democracy. In ?1S53, Ward, feeling irf need of a little pocket change, and having no spare "nigger"' to sell, came over to Cincin nati and kidnapped Mrs. Woods, then a strong, likely young colored wom an. A negro had lio fights which a white man was bound to respect, and he was enabled to get her to Texas without difficulty, where he sold her to a pla'nter. Her friends" made efforts to find her, and she did what she could to invoke the aid of the law, but all in vain. She made no money, the courts were closed against her, and if they had not been her oath was of no value, and the consequence was that she remained the property of ber j master until freed by the fortunes of "war.

Into?- Oaean. Modern and ScriptnralScanfiasf In reply to a orilicisn of aichristian subscriber on-publishing the Beeoher Tilton scandal news,. therDeSr Moines Register, says : We think it is 'quite the thing1 for a newspaper to do, to give the news of the day no matter whether the news be the almost phenomenal crime of the greatest preacher of the age or the pettier crime of a person entirely ob scure. The question whether such a stupendous oflence is 'a proper thing to tell of in a newspaperis easily an swered. It is. The Bible tells of sim ilar scandals of David the sweet sing er of Israel, and of those of Abraham , the father of the faithful, who did meaner things than ever Beecber has done, such as the men and the chris tians of this age would ride any man on a rail for doing now, and of others of the great but once wicked people of the Sacred Record. If the Great Ed itor who inspired the authors of that holy book thought such sins worthy of menlibh and comment in the book: of eternal record, it would seem to be a proper thing to tell of in a daily pa per of news. We make Hit pretence of being more proper in theee things than the Bible is, and if the men who wrote that dfd not think it right to withhold the news and the facts about David, Abraham, Noah aiid the like, it is a little too muoh to expect a daily newspaper to suppress the news about" Beecher. A nice world we would have of it truly if 'the church could get the press of the day to Bhleld from exposures the Ondordonks.theBeeoh er.o, and others like them. The pro priety, the decency, to Chxistianity.it seems to us are all the other way. For, take away the fear of exposure, and how much more madly and boldly rampant would not this crime against all that is purest and noblest and ho liest in life become? There Is a great deal of cheap cant and snobbery in this current criticism of newspapers for doing their duty in taking the world as they find it and in publish ing the news as it is. Siory Abont Mr. Lfnoolnf The death of Mr. Denton, of Dela ware County, Iowa, recalls a story he used to tell. In the early days of the Illinois Central Rail way the line was not fenced, and one day two cows belonging to a Metho dist clergyman were killed. Being sued for damages, the company re solved to make a test case of it. The President of the road directed Mr. Denton to take $600 in gold and go to Springfield and retain Abraham Lin coln, whom he knew well, for the company. Mr. Lincoln rsplied to his request : "I am sorry you diin't come yester day, Nick, jfor I hove been retained by the preacher and his friends." Denton explained fully the impor tance of the case to the company, and then, pulling two buokskin bags fille J with gold out of his pockets, he put them down on the table before the lawyer with a startling clink, saying, "Mr. Lincoln, the President of the company authorizes me to hand you this retainer of $600 to take our case, Mr. Lincoln jumped to his feet, flushed with anger. "Nick Denton," he said, "I have given my promise to that preacher and hi3 friends, and ths Illinois Cen tral hasn't money enough to buy me away from his side. I don't know that I shall evergeta dollar from him but I'll do my bes to' make $-our company pay for those cowb," Denton said that he never felt so mean and small in his life as he did at that moment. And he used to say that Lincoln was the noblest and best man in America, WHen asked to state his creed, the late G. W. Blunt, of New York City, said : "I belfevs in God, his infinite power and mercies, the mission of Christ, the Flag of the Union.
