SUSIE'S ADVEXTURE.
'Stipie, here's the iail ; cross oyer
to Elton's ine.ulo v, then o straight

you brick in less than an hour," fcuid
ill. AUen.
4Tom is so busy that you'll have o
bring the cows home from pasture;
then there are biscuits to mix, and you
must sot things to rights after wash
ing the supper dishes."
'Is t hat all I have to do to-night,
ina'tini?" demurely inquired Susie.
"Let me see; you can chop tho meat
so that Tom and lite farm hands can
have bah for breakfast. AV at are
you maki- g such a face about?"
"A fly crept on my noc, and I could
not help it ma'am."
"And, Susie, you may put the
clothes to soak to-night, for you must
be up betimes to commence washing
to-morrow. So make haste to get the
beities.,'
"Stop a minute! If Ellon's son
shourd happen to meet you, you must
ptiss on without saying a worJ."
'Only give me a chance," thought
the dm; fu Sue.
"Sue! Suel where are you going?"
shouted a voice close to her.
"Oh, dear!" exclaimed Sue.
voitnr; Elton, growing as red
"There's
as a t ttr-
key '.s comb in the face, trying to make
ine hear him."
"Sue! Sue I what's your great hur
iy?" 'Going to make niy fortune. Don't
you Fee 1 have a pail to hold the first
nugget of gold I find?"
" Well, let me go, so that I can sbare
the spoils."
'Not while my name is Sue. Until
I iv turn I will have to dispense with
your company."
"Do not ie go no 1 uicr. Susie, for see
theeh''.;d yonder. 1 am .-on iev '-i.it ac
quainted v. iih t'i." c k rk of the weath
er, and we will have rain bu'lorc yoii
are a day older."
"Always croaking and trying to
look as wise as an owl. I only wish
we sho'i'd have a .shower by way of
variety."
If lite rain comes down in buckets
ful yo.i will sing Miother tune. Iy
ll;e by, a little tbrk-eveJ, vosy
cheeked damsd must not say 'nay'
when I conic to-morrow at .Mrs. A!
don's door t escort her to the village
fur. Say, Susie, what time shall Icall
for you?'
"Mrs. Alden says poor girls cannot
walt their time in socking pleasure.
I would not even dare to say I would
like to ro."
"Weil, then, I'll ask her myself.
Here I go. riht about, to face the
dreaded person -igc in her domain."
"To think that the rich farmer's son
should condescend-to ask the poor or
phan girl to go to the fair with Lim.
"Won't it be too bad if I am denied
the pleasure? Just let her refuse! I'll
spill the milk, I'll spoil the hash, and
I'll Til loll site dyes her hair.
"Heigh! 1 should have my pail
nc":rly full by this time.
"Hut I ilo not see any berries here ; I
must go farther.
"It will never do to turn back with
out them. There must be some on the
slope yonder.
"Come, what a laggard I have be
come! How dark it is growing!"
A Hash of lightning shortened. Sue's
soliloquy.
The sky had become overcast with
great black clouds.
The angry thunder began to be
heard.
Each moment the war of elements
increased.
The wind moaned and howled in ac
companiment. "I st.y it tho'.i. It must be a char
coal burner's hut. That will be some
protection, at leas'. Here I am at
last."
Hurrying to the deserted, tumble
down ;e ement, drenched and breath
less, Sue cowered in a corner.
"Oh, if somebody were only here,
it woul i not be so terrible." "
'The thought was scarcely express
ed before a coarse voice cried out :
"Here 'we are, G riff. Guess Sam At
kins made this place for oar accommo
dation." And straight into the next room
marched the two men.
'It's getting very dark. Old Elton
will not think of coming from Silver-
ton to-night. Must have a heap of
money hidden in the house, I have
kept a sharp lookout for six months,
lie sold for cash the little house by
E ton I rook last Monday. Got paid
for his yoke of oxen on Wednesday;
besides, he has the rent of his tenants
on ha nl."
"1 say, Griff, you rc a knowing one.
Did you hear that clap of thunder? I
tell you what? we are iu luck, for old
Elton is mighty plucky, and might
bliow fight.
"I'm glad he is out of the way, Joe ;
but as tor his blabbing son, 1 ache for
a chance to pay him oil" for that old
grudge 1 hold against him."
"I'll get even with him to-nirht.
Everything is arranged. We can
climb up the back porch and force an
entrance through the window. The
rest is easy enough. Mind, half tho
spoils e :ch, and young Ldtou for me.
"Theres only one way to settle him,
and that is to stop his mouth forever.
What was that? I heard somebody
moving."
"It's nothing but the thunder you
heard. Who ever comes hcre,I would
like to know?'
"The rain is iarly over. Time is
money now ; so .ct's be going." .
For many minutes alter they had
departed Susie remained immovable
fearing the men might by some acci
dent return.
Her chief anxiety was to warn El
ton of the desperate plot that wouhj
booh be carried out.
The storm had now ceased.
The shades of night were falling fast
when Susie cautiously groped her way
ou t.
"I ought to be at home iu a short
time. How faint with terror I (eel!
How the rain has washed everything
awav. If I could only get down the
hilkside!" .
"The stars aie coming out. Thai
otmht to cheer me,"
Iter thin shoes were soaked through
and the briars made it almost impos
sible for her to proceed.
"1 cannot go on. My head grows
di 7.y. If I could only reach home! I
must sit down to gain strength."
Leaning against the jajrged trunk of
a fallen tree, Sue reclined.
Too moon catiie out in all her splen
dor, lighting up the landscape with
her glorious rays. Still Sue remained
uncoiicious.
"Where ami?" thought she. "My
lips are parched : my head oh. God !
It must be near m dnight, and I have
thrown the precious moments away. I
must overcome this strange stupor
which oppresses me."
On her hands an I knees she crept to
a pool and quenched her thirst, and
bathed her throbbing temples.
Kefreslied once more, she attempted
to stand.
"Thank God ! I am safely down the
hill. Only to cross the creek.and then
I will be at Elton's place.
As she noa red the stream her heart
sank within her.
"I tell you. Tom Alden, it i.s no use
to go on further. Susie- has been
caught in the storm, and has stopped
somewhere all night.
"There is someone trying to ford the
stream. Back, Sue, back! Do not
advance another step There, all dan
ger is over. 1 can bear your light
weight. Tell me why you did not get
home sooner. Mother is almost dis
tracted between doing your work and
fretting about you. Slie sent me after
vou. and "
"Thank God you found me! Oh ,if
avc are only in time!" exclaimed Sue,
"Vi s, wc are in lime to hear mother
scold," returned Tom.
"Do not Interrupt mo to ask how I
know Elton's house is to be plundered
to-night by two men, one of whom in
tends to take George Elton's life."
"X nsense!"
"You will drive me mad if you do
not go at once to his aid. Did you not
hear that Elton appeared against aman
named Grill for sheep-stealing? lie
it s who vowed to be revenged on
him. It is he who threatens his life.
Come, already they may have entered
the house ; already he may be at their
mercv."
Her wild earnestness at last con
vinced Tom.
Tiirnisi": to his two field-hands he
bade thtiti follow him.
"The doors arc all fastened as usual,
We may as well "
"Look at the upper window. Do
you not hoar voices, too!" Burst in
the doors!" wildlv cried Sue.
"Ha! ha! Georire Elton, it i3 useless
to defend youre.t. The odds tell this
time. Y e have the obi man's thdit-
fisted savings all light, and we have
the old man s son nicely cornered. Ha!
ha! I have waited for this moment
Down came a heavy blow on tho as
sassin's head, which sent him reeling.
Taken so completely by surprise, it
was easy to overpower both GrifT and
his con federate.
I me did George Elton
have to appear against Grid.
hen the latter received his sen
tence of imprisonment for life his
looks of dcadlv hatred rested on Eiton
but they were powerless to harm.
"I say, Sue, it is too bad to sec you
slaving1-from morning till night. Why
will you still refuse me, and persist in
waiting on Mrs. Alden, instead of "
"Wailing on you instead? Xo,
George Elton, you shall never marry
the poor girl. Sue."
"Who talks of poverty, when I owe
yon what I possess mv life "
Site hesitated a moment, and Gcorcs
clasped her in his arms. .
'Will you 1; my wife, Sue?"
She looked down on the floor, and
whis-!;cix'il :
"Yes."
A month after. Sue became the mis
tress of her own home, and the cher
ished bride of George Elton.

Alt. l'leasaiit Notes.
January 5, 1830.
Ed. IIeuali: As 1 have not seen
anything iu the Herald for a lot. g
time from Mt. rh p.saiif, L thought 1
would pen a little to you from here.
Mt. l'leasaiit, as the name iniKcttUs,
has in former days been a place that
answeiid to the name; but this winter
all seems changed. The people seem to
he divided iu sentiment, but enough
aj;ree to run everything here, and we
young people have to give up. We can't
have many things as e desire, for
want of any place to hold forth. Tho
school fathers have closed the :h iiool
house against us; our Good Templar's
lodge h;ts been on wheels for three or
four months, holding meetings at pri
vate houses, and now held at W. J.
Linch's. But a few faithful ones are
siill trying to hold onto our old chart
er, that we have been working under
for nearly fourteen years. We are try
ing to raise money to build a lodge
had. We are out on Singh;"; school and
Literary Society boils, lor want of a
house lo hidd them iu.
But with all this, some of the. young
people agree well enough to hitch to
gether for life. On New Year's even

a houae f uii, Mr. M. B. Howard to M iss

this being the third or fourth wfdijing

An Essay o:i Man.
Man was mr.de in dry weather.
He was made of dust.
Quite a number have never recover
ed from their creation ; they are still
dry.
It's man's nature to be discontent
ed. Adam had . monopoly, but he
couldn't be happy without some one
to crow over.
For awhile he knocked around over
the Garden of Eden, and then went to
the house; but lie had to cook h i.s own
supper, there was no stotcwood chop
ped, and things were in a bad shape
generally.
The next morning it was the same
way. He had to make his own bed
tiiid sweep out. His socks were dirty,
and his arm would run through a hole
in his sleeve. So he was ilissati-tied.
The next night, when ho went to
sleep, the Creator punished him by
making one of his ribs into a woman
ft great misfortune to the race.
It has been six thousands years since
that rib was hist, and yet man con
tinues feeling for it.
This is a very feeling subject.
Pursuit in this cafe is taid to be
sweeter than possession.'
After Eve got acquainted with her
maje, she vowed that all the men in
tho world were not worth Adam.
Goliah was a man.
A fop is a male who is ashamed of
his sex, and attempts to conceal tho
fact that he is a man.
Concealment in such cases is attend
ed with but little trouble. It is only
necessarv to part his hair in the mid
dle. The family man resembles an oyster
on the half-shell.
Tho shell is knawn at home, the
soft side abroad.
Some men carry this resemblance, in
their faces. A great many men have
countenances like oysters.
Job is said to have been a very pa
tient man.
lbs had boils all over him.
Many a man boils all over himself
when the ' preacher reaches "thir
tcenthly" on a hot summer-day, and
never thinks of the grandeur of
Job's example.
It i3 natural for a man to
good example.

Teach and Learn.
One mmi cannot thoroughly, safely,
and wisely conduct urinyexpcrim'Mit?
;it tho same time. Hence, it is very
desirable for neighboring farmers to
help oito another in this respect. So
of all cl.-i.s--os engaged in productive
pursuits. Then men can, in one year,
try a number of theories that one man
could not put to the test in less than
I'm years. If-one makes fin experi
ment that proves i:nprontable,it i.s his
duty to let his friends know it, that
they may not sutler by repealing it.
If one possesses special knowledge
about varieties of articles of produce,
peculiarities of culture, methods of
preserving or utilizing what is rai-etl,
or anything else of importance to suc
cess and prosperity, ho ottght to be
kind enough to inform his neLdibors,
at least, so that they may be wiser and
more successful. In a certaincoiumu
nity the farming was unimproved, and
hence, 'unprofitable.' A progressive
man of intelligence ami skill in-ivcd
in from a distant State, introduced
more advanced idea.?, and rapidly con
vert ed the poor land into a fertile,
profitable farm. His neighbors were
kindly enlightened, adopted his wise
example, and soon brought up the
whole community to much greater
prosperity. Of course the man who
taught and those who learned are
much happier. Let it be known that
sellish monopoly of useful information
is suicidal as well as ignoble and un
charitable ; and that few men are to bo
pitied more than those who refuse to
learn by the experience of others.
To further these suggestions.it is re
commended that farmers, girdeuers,
fruit culturists, etc., visit one another
mors frequently, talk together more
freely.publish their experiments more
carefully, and, every legitimate way,
try to teach more and learn more.

TLe Correct Way.
Young man, when you see anything
vou want, ak for it like a man. If
; you want to borrow live dollars froni
j a man, or if you only want to marry
I his daughter, don't fclide up f- him
'. nn.i bang on to your hat and talk poll
I tics and religion and weather, ana It'll
i old, stale jokes, whereof you cannot
! remember the point until you worry
j the old man into a nervous irritation.
Go at him with a full head of steam
j on and your bow ports open, like an
iron-clad puiltng lor a snore battery.
Snort ami paw and shake your head,
if you feel like it, no matter if it does
make him look astonished. Better as-'
tonish him than bore him. Go into'
his heart or pocket-book, or both, it
amounts to the same thiug, like a brin
dle bull with a curl in his forehead
charging a red merino dress eyes en
tire, tail up, and the dust a flying.
Then you'll letch him, or possibly ho
may fetch you. But never mind you'll
accomplish soinetiiing.aud show you're
not afraid to speak your mind. And
that's a great de d more than you would
accomplish by the other method. You
needn't lie cheeky, but you ought t'T

A Roman Well Under I.oiitlon.
London is not so progressive in soma
other matters as in the construction of
the road -bed of her streets. It will
hardly be credited that tho vast me
tropolis, with its population of 3,000,--Oim,
has no "municipal water supply.
That i to say, then; is "no supply of
pure water, direct from its source, un
der t headmini' tration of metropolitan'
authority." The quotation i.s from
the language of a resolution pa: s.'d. at
a recent meeting hold to consider tho
question, and at which such promi
nent men as Sir Charles Dilke,
Sir John Lubbock, the Bishop of
London and Cardinal Manning wcro
among th speakers. At present tho
city is supplied by no less than ciuht
trading companies, who-c dividends
arc enormous. Indeed, one of tho
speakers at the 'meeting to which I
have referred rather wittily remarked
that the head of a great manufacturing
house in London had made a calcula
tion of the water Used by his estab
lishment, and found that it would bo
cheaper for him to connect his prem
ises with the nearest brewery and uso
beer at the cost price, instead of
water.
By the way, speaking of water lends
me to recall a visit math! to oi.o of tho
few existing relics of I'oMian occup.v
siwiii of tho spot where London has its
tenter. But a little way from Cher
cng Cross n narrow alley descend
hceply toward the river. Turning
into ibis by-way v.c reached an old
brick house, iu no respect differing
from the thousands that surround it.
Knocking at tho basement door,amaid
appeared and led us down a flight of
stone steps into the sub-cellar. Here,
perhaps, fifty feet below tho level of
the Strand, on what in ancient times
must have been the side of a steep hill,
is what is known as "The Old 1 toman
Bath." It is an niched and vaulted
chamber of brickwork, which anti
quarians declare conclusively proea
by its construction its Bopn'oi origin,
filled with water bo perfectly c!ear
that at Rrst we supposed it to be emp
ty, and that we saw the white brick
work of tho bottom through no other'
medium than that of the air. The bath
is thii t en feet long, six fed broad,
and the water sr.indat adepth of near-'
ly live feet. It is not only marvelous-'
ly clear, but deliciotisly cold. 1 do
not wonder that in this land where ice
is ti costly luxury people throng to the .
old Boiuun spring to drink. In tho
same building isnnother bath, evident
ly of later con druction, whic tradi
tion attributes to that Earl of Es-ei
who was the favorite of Queen Eliza
beth. The latter is u-ed for bathing,
as numerous limp arments h inging
ou the wall bore witness, while tho
former is kept as a reservoir of drink
ing water on'v. Ijondon Letter.
A gang of sharpers in Philadelphia
have fr more than a year Ix-en swin
dling visitors from the country in a
novel way. They have a stable osten

horses. When a countryman enlera
to look at the stock, a practically va 1
ii ?it;s; hor.w. is offered to him for $150.
A bystander oilers $200, but the dcalef
angrily says he will not sell to this
man at any price, having had a prevt--ous
quarrel with him. The bystander'
draws ti.-c countryman aside and savs i
"Buy the hor.-e at $150, am! I'll take

seems toiitier a chance to make $00
