:&- i iM c KIR&COKXEL. A KlrnBgc lint Tree lUtmaace. In the soutli of Scotland, about eight tulle north from Annan, is a graveyard called Kirkconncl, a lovely but post sequestered spot. Of all the cemeteries J graveyards which I have seen In any country, to me this is the most attract ive. There is a -weird, inexpressible look about the place so much in keeping with a graveyard. It may be a feeling ot my own, but I never did like a large cemetery, such as you may see at Cincin nati or Brooklyn. In a large family, a large church or city, there is of necessi ty a certain amount of estrangement. The same is always true ol a graveyard. Tim sleepers mjcIu to be more pecceful when they Iiavc had come acquaiutauce with each other. The mingling of dust makes us long to lie where wc have been known: and where wc know tome at least of those who intend to lie lcsidc us. Kirkconncl is jutt such a place as this, A little over half an acre of ground, a family graveyard it ecciiis. Yet fiom the beginning of the fifteenth century, men and women have been said to sleep in that quiet little place. And connecting the past with the present, the last time I was there some three years ago a bed bad just been made for one ot my school fellows; and he too sleeps sweetly in Kirkconncl, among those who have slept for centuries. Belorc narrating the touching tale which has made Kirkconncl famous, let js visit the place. It lies on the left bank of the river Kirtle this was desig nated' river before the Hudson, Niagara or Mississippi tveic heard of which rises far nwayt among these hills to the north, in EsdalShoor, nsd falls into the Sotwav Firth. Short as its journey may be, the scenery alongits course com pares well with anythicc: which I have fceen in ail my travels. We enter at the poitcr's gate, and pass v along the winding path which overlooks the stream. That grand residence to the right, with its red granite-like appear ance, is called Springkcl), and belongs to Sir Johii Hcion Maxwell, u foolish kind of man to be a baronet, but his princely icccme is sufficient to keep him. "What a lcngniGcenl appearance his house makes. The situation is the most enchanting which the mind of the poet cculd wit-h, or of which the, artist could dream. Following up the bed of the liver for about a mile, we come to a beautiful meadow, studded here and there with old oak and thcotnut trees. Iu the distance the ground rises abruptly, still urcen, beautifully rounded, adorned with trees which now stand between you and the sky; while in the fertile meadow cattle are feeding, as fat and fair looking as those seen by Phaioah in his dream. On the other side of the stream the bank rises high, and is covered with trees and sin uhs, all chid in their summer vest ments. ' And now ne have come to the little graveyard, carefully fenced all around; the tombstones arc scarcely seen; no one desecrates the place by cutting the glass and giving it to the cattle. It grows in the spiing time, keeps the ground cool all summer, and when winter comes down the valley it keeps the sleepers warm. TLc trees stand around in silence watching, casting their melancholy shade on the couch of the silent sleepers. The bed of the river is more rocky there than elsewhere, yet the bubbling is not so loud; its voice seems hushed, and the stream steals past on tip-toe, lest it should break lhc slumbers of the dead. Even the thoughtless living who visit the place have a' feeling of awe creep over them, such as wc have when visiting any old dimly lighted cathedral, when the organ peals forth its unutterable sounds. But how can I describe Kirk connel? Imagination dare not play hide-and-seek there; you must visit it yourselt if you would see the picture. "SVhht a sweet place to lie down when our day's work is over; nothing to break the slumbers till the trumpet sounds, and tne (tin ana bustle of business will not prevent its first distant peals from being distinctly heard. On the north side of the graveyard aie the ruins of an old Roman Catholic chapel, all overhung with ivy. The family of Springkell use this old sanctu ary as a mausoleum; und by peering through the iron grating, tr climbing up that crumbling corner, you can see how littlo difference there is between demo cratic and aristocratic dust. Walking among the tombstones -yon see very strange devices. TLc-skull and .cross bones have been in great repute long ago. There is another old stone with what might be called a wood cut of Adam and Eve. There is another stone on which is caned the figure of a female lacing her self so tightly that her eyes protrude as "the eyes of a toad," and under her a man is driving like "J elm the son of Nimski"for a doctor; but it is ail in vain; he is too late, for she died and sleeps now in common dust. Then there ' are such quaint inscriptions: some in Latin, which arc read only now and then. Thefe we suppose mark where the neighboring schoolraasteis have been laid to rest. Some in home made poetry which limp as they go. There are some seutenccs in prose, which flatter the dead, but no ows knows whether justly or unjmtly; and indeed no ose seems to care. Some passage of SciiDtnre fella that the sleeper once had a hope of a better future. Some ycu can tell only the year iawhii:h they died; in others that even is effaced, and nothing mow is known save that some oae slumbers there in peace. How tumsmaisg these quiet cotuitry graveyards of Scotland; how fell of sssociations. What lone sonu pAaeef , they were wont to be. Hannted. with dead llfhts, straago dia- fowade, antil jonr spirit was so overcome with fear that you could scarcely hold it in the tsbcrnsclo. "Itere solemn Sllrnre i!U pnthronsil. And sacrr-d Awe confounds." But let me now return to my story This is the grave of "Fair Helen of Kirkconnel." The two lovers rest under this flag of "old red sandstone." On the stone we sec the rude outline of a sword, a carabine and a cross. All that remains of the Latia epitaph is HicjaeetAdamus Fleeming here lies Adam Fleeming. And the touching story that tradition has handed down is sonsething like the fol lowing: A fair young lady named Helen Max well was heiress of Kirkconnell, now Springkell. She was very beautiful; of a tall, slender form. She had dark flowing hair, and eyes of the same color, which lent to her complexion a wonder ful charm. Her movements were all characterized by the utmost case and majesty. Her physical graces were in tensified by the purity and sweetness of hi-r mind. She was loved by every one who knew her. Two young men in the immediate vicinity loved her more than all others: one was named Bell of Black ct House, two miles down the river; the other named Fleeming of Mossknowe, about eight miles further down. Tradi tion has it ihat a few years later the F!cmiugs were burnt in their tower rather than surrender themselves to their enemies. This incident originated, part at least, of the name of the paihh where this occuircd, Kirkpatrick Fleeming. Of the two rivals for the heart of Helen Maxwell, Fleeming was victorious. His irullantry and noble bearing won the heart of "Fair Helen" in spite of his opponent. Dell was favored by her parents, Lonocr, who openly objected to Fh cmiug's viiitp, causing these to be less frequent arid comparatively in secret. Bell saw that he va5 1 o longer received by Helen a in former days ; her lustrous eje gleamed no u.oie with love for him. The music of her voice was no longer his. He knew that she loved Adam Fleeming. who was oftcner in her com pany. Brooding over his loss, he deter mined to be leveDgcd for the insult and wrong he had received at the hand of Fleeming. Several times he sought an opportuwty to tane his life; he waylaid him between Mossknowe and Springkell ; and though urged on by desperation, he was afraid to meet his antagonist in open right. Then he would wander about the woods near Springkell, catch ing sight now and then of Helen, some times accompanied by his mortal foe. He learned from some ol the servants whom he had bribed for the purpose that the two lovcis sometimes met in the twilight at this sequestered place the old graveyard strange that lovers should wa.k there. l)uy after day he concealed himself among the bushes on the other side of the Kittle, waiting like a lion for his piey. Still the lovers weie happy in each other's worth, looking forward to yeais of joy. We can almost see them late in the afternoon of that sad day, emerging from .he wood beyond the meadow. Slowly they approach the old craveyard, she leaning on his arm, listening to the waihlmg of birels which seem to join with them in their love. The settirg sun is shining fell in their faces; she stoops to pluck tome wild gewans from the grass. Now he whis pers in her cor some accents of manly love, while she speaks the language of her hcait, by her downcast eyes and drooping head. They have now reached the graveyard, and are just passing through that clump of trees, about to gaze into the river; perhaps sit down on the bank, and dream about the stream of life flowing on and on. She is still leaning on his arm; they have now reached the place where that old cross, so roughly carved stand, and has stood since then; when she, ever quick to think of evil, hears some one among the bushes on the other side of the stream." They look again, and Bell steps from his hiding place with a look of wild determination, a carabine in his hand, which is instantly leveled at Fleeming. She throws her self into Fleeming's arms, thinking that Beh's love for her will save her lover. But it is too late; the fatal trigger has been drawn, and she receives in her snowy bosom the bullet intended for another. She dies in the embrace of Adam Fleeming. Tenderly her lover laid her down on the grass, while the warm blood was still flowing frcm her heart; crossed the stream with . single bound, pursued her murderer and over took him., A desperate battle ensued, in which Bell was slain on the spot. Slowly an I sadly Fleeming returned to the lonely churchyard, where he had left the lifeless form of his lovely Helen. He now lifted her, carried her in his arms to the old familv mansion, and told the sad story ot her death and his vengeance. His grief was uncontrolla ble. At last she was buried in the old churchyard, ard this is her grave. That old cross which you sec was erected on the spot where she fell. An iron plate has at one time been inserted, which has long since been lost, doubtless bearing the inscription of uFair Helen's" sad death. People in the neighborhood will not soon forget the touching tradi tion which has been handed down through so many generations. The woe-worn young man was bow in a sad condition. The Bells sooeht for vengeance, Le floag away Lis- sword that was now of no more use to him. He left his native country, wandered over the Continent of Earope seeking for what he had lost, and lost never awe to fad. He soaght in vain to banish from Ids nund the image ot "Fair Helen." She whom he loved so pas noaatelj in life, he could never forget la hk sleep he womld seek to aeoaha hit dying bride, to stem the bload which was gushing from her heart. Anon, he would lay her tenderly down, and with muttercdjvengeancc pursue her murderer. Then he would awake far, far awayjrom the place where all this "had transpired, with a heart so cold and empty. At last he returned to his native land; and hurrying back to Kirkconncl, trav ersed all the scene ef this narrative again. Then with the wildest sorrow, he stretched himself upon his lover's grave died and was buried by her aide. "Soon shall we meet bo more to pin, In climes ot bliss!" he cried. Then on his mnen-lored Helen's temb. He laid htm down and died. There arc two versions of the old bal lad entitled "Fair Helen," and as loth are good and comparatively unknown, I may lie allowed to quote them here. riltST VEIWIOX. 0 swfetest sweet, ind fairest fair. Of troth and worth beyond compan. Thon art the canter of my cue. Since firt I loved thee! Vet God hath Riven to me a mind. The which to thee shall prove as kind.

I wish my grave were growl eg green, A winding sheet drawn o'er my cen, And I In Helen's arms lying, On fair Kirkconncl lee. I wish I were where Helen lies! Night and day on mc she cries. And I am weary of the skies, or her sake that died for me. Maid Helen. Why She Stopped Her Paper. Brooklyn Argut: She came bouncing through the sanctum door like a cannon ball, and without pausing to say "How d'ye do?" she brought her umbrella down on the table with a mighty crash, and shouted : "I want to stop my paper." "All right, madam." "Stop it right ciT, too," she persisted, whacking the table again, "for I waited long enough for you to do the square thing." She quieted down for a moment, as we ran our finrs down the list of names, and when we reached hers and scratched it out, she said: "There; now mobbe you'll ought to after this, and woman jest cause t tie's rich lolks happen to have headed, bandy-legged, wheezy squallcr born to them, you puff it to the skies and make it out an angel; but when poor people have a baby you don't say a word about it, even if it is the squarest-toed, blackest-haired, biggest-headed, noblest little kid that ever kept a woman awake at nights. That's what's the matter, and that's why I stopped my paper." And she dashed out as rapidly as she came. Oaltt's Siewlr Electee l.STerasr. General Rutherford B. Hayes, who lias been elected Governor of Ohio, after an excitiuff contestin which the personality of the csndidstes seem to have been forgotten, was born in Delaware county, Ohio, October 4, 1822. He graduated at Kenyon College in 1842, and studied law at" Cambridge He practiced his protession in Cincinnati until the out break of the war, when he entered the service ss Major of the 23d Ohio regi. ment. He served with distinction, aad at the close of the war was Brigadier General, with the brevet rank of Msjor General. In 1864 he was elected a Rep resentative in Congress from Cincinnati, being re-elected in 186G, but resigaed his seat in 1867, when he was elected Governor of Ohio. He was re-elected Governor in 1869. Ia 1872 he v candidate for Congress, bat was defeated by Hon. Henry B. Banning, the candi date of the "liberal Republicans." Governor Allen, who was deieated at tLe late election, appointed General Hayes one of the Conrasaioaers to rep- t Ohio at the GanunniaL Tke Dnbitie papers j taai the pixootic is spjesdiRt; im tnat city, and! thattnere'are naanj cases ef the disease in the Utstj atablat, bnt ia a nallder form tnan aerttotora. 4i3a & .-BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBMBHamBBaMBaaMB, Tt7rBBajWBJ r i iinwi JLaBBBBBBBBBBBBaHD SBaaaawp'rl. To A "JaWBW - Cntral Iewa JMatmt laJr-Arlifte irarthr ! One thing that particularly attracted our attention was a Bauxo Pp, for hay, broom corn, husks, rags, etc built C. A. A. Arnold, of 110 Court Avenue, Pes Moines, Iowa. It is at once exceed ingly efficient and ptriaV.t. Bale of hay made by it weigh 200 lbs. earh, and two men (with no other power) will make from 40 to 50 bales per day of 10 hours. It can be taken to pieces and loaded on a wagon in ten minutes, and put up again ready for work as easily. It is undoubtedly the most rapid and efficient hand press of which we have any knowl edge. The complete machine weighs about 1100 lbs. Juit in this connection we would speak of a little matter that seems not to be understood by men gen erally who deal in "flour and feed," viz.: that wherever that business Is remunera tive, it will pay to handle baletOiay. One of the most attractive machines exhibited on the fair grounds was a steam hammer invented and patented ky Wilson &, Stein, and mantttactured oy Brooks, Wilson & Stein of Pes Moines. It is under perfect control of the ham merman, when working at full speed, to strike a blow from one poutid to livo thousand pounds, just as lie wishes for the woik he is doing. They have pat terns and arc now prepared to supply any one wishing a hammer on short notice. Any firm manufacturing any thing in the iron line should have one. The hammer is complete itself; all that is necessary is to place it on a good foundation of t)mler, attach a steam pipe to the bi iler &m vc arc ready for work. They are offering these hammers very cheap compared with hammers mude by others; they arc even cheaper than the ordinary trip hammer and far sujerlo.-.
