And if the gentlemen were Uj. ;at all disposed to be jealous of one "whose wealth or knowledge of the world :ind the ways of polite society might give him an advantage over them in the eycs of their Jady-loves, they still could -not act the part of boors and thus them selves prove his superiority over them.

Jhowevcr, not to show that he objected "to Annclsey's presence, or attention to Lucy, by avoiding her and paying court to ,iiilia" Ennis. the daughter of a neigh bor who had lately come among them. Neither was Erastus the only one who was inclined to look upon the stranger as an interloper, for Lucy Parsons was a favorite with the young men of the neighborhood. Her fresh .young face and lively mien, as well ;as her kindly nature, attracted to her nil with whom he came in contact. .And to-dav, dressed all in white except -a bit of color at her throat, with her -clear complexion rendered more beau tiful by the few months of comparative -close confinement at school, showing vet more plainly in contrast with the ther girls, whose checks and arms -were tanned by exposure to the wind and sun and in the labor of the house hold, and may be the vineyard, it is no -wonder that" she attracted univeral homage, and that more than one of the little company wished that Annelsey "would return' to the city whence he came and leave them to contend among themselves for the favor of the most ieautiful maiden in all the circle of their acquaintance- When the party broke up and the rev elers were about to mount their horses ior the kemeward ride Erastus noticed Annelsey press close to Lucy and sneak to her in a low tone. He also saw Lucy llush. but could only judge from An nelscv's demeanor that Lucy's words, whatever they were, had not been un pleasant to him. When they were mounted and on the 3oint of starting, some one remarked to Mr. Annelsey that if he was intend ing to return to the mining camp that Slight he would have to ride late; to which he replied that he should camp on the spot where they were and spend auother day, possibly several of them, an fishing arid hunting in the vicinity. The homeward, ride of the merry makers was made at such paces as suit ed the fancv of each. A dozen of the jyoung people only retained each others company during the entire distance. The others lagged behind, and then 'dropped off into couples, and so rode .homeward over the dusky hills in the twilight a twilight which was first golden and then purple, gradually changing into darkness not so great as to make traveling dangerous or diffi cult, but darkenoagh to set the crick ets to chirping; dark enough to hide the blush of a maiden whose lover was tempted to tell again the story first told in the Garden of Eden, and retold bv every srenerat'on since; too dark to ea ble Sicni to ee the night-birds that called to each oher from the roadside Tmtil frightened into taking wing by the jiear approach of the riders. CHAPtZbXILv i The second day after the picnic Mr. lAmnelsey called at the Parsoa cottage. m was nee as uw uoor ey smcj in tritedietotke akt-reem. Her le- xueanor showed clearly that his coming was not unexpected, but whether it caused her more pleasure than embar rassment would not have been so easy to determine. lr. Annelsev himself had no doubt of it, however. Had she not told him on parting at the lake that he might call, and was she not blushing and embar rassed now? What better proof could he de.-ire that she was pleased and flat tered by his attentions? None, he thought, and he was corre spondingly elated and became really entertaining in relating his experience in camping at the lake and at the mine an experience which to him possessed all the pleasure of novelty. Lucy had Intended to tell her mother and .lennie that Mr. Annel.vjy had asked permission to call on her. but had not found courage to do so, and, not knowing at what time to expect his coming, had deferred speaking df it, hoping some opportunity would arise without herself having to introduce the subject. But although the family did not know that he had requested permission to call, it is probable that they were not greatly surprised at seeing him. They knew "him to be in the neighborhood, and perhaps others besides hrastus sus pected that his appearance at the picnic was not purely accidental. Although the young man had called especially to see" Lucy, Jennie was per haps more pleased at his coming than her sister, or than any other member of the family. She liked him exactly as she liked'other young men who were pleasant company, and hoped he would remain in the vicinity and take part in their occasional pastimes during the summer; and she had none of Lucv's feelings of bcinr made conspicuous by having been selected as an object of especial attention by him. As for their mother, f-hc saw nothing objectionable in the young man. He was gentlemanly, and appeared to her to be as moral as other young men: and what mother was ever offended that a young man of wealth and standing in society saw attractions in her daughter which he did not see in the daughters of others? Mr. Annelsey was given a cordial in vitation to remain to tea; an invitation which he was not slow in accepting, and so met Mr. Parsons and Erastus, both of whom treated him courteously, though the greeting of the younger man was certainly not excessive in its cordiality: anil who, as soon as the mo.il was over, made an excuse to leave the house and did not return until Annelsey had depa:tcd. On the other hand, Mr. Parsons was pleased that he had called, and showed it. He wanted to see him. He wanted to learn how the work at the on and how probably be mine was soon they getting would readv to turn on the water and bejriu washing down the hills, and his manner was such as to st 11 further imbue An nelsey with the idea tiiat he was held in high favor and that Lucy and her parents felt honored by his "attentions. In reply to Mr. Parsons' questions he told him that the work on the Hume which was to conduct the water to the reservoir wa? progressing rapidly a portion of it over two miles long having been completed; that the remaining mile would be finished by the time the tunnel and the sluice for carrying away the debris and saving the gold would be ready, which would probably be in about three months, and that ihcn they would be ready for active operations. Not wishing to wear his welcome out, he declined an invitation to remain at the cottage over night and returned to his camp by the hike, where his guide awaited him, and on the following day again took possession of the quarters assigned him at the mining camp, which already aspired to be called a town, a number of clapboard shanties and a lodging house with the usual bar-room attachment having been erected. It was not long Injfore he was again at the Parsons cottage: and soon it came to be expected that he would make one of any company of young people that assembled for a merry making in the neighborhood. If hed.d not always escort Lucy he spent a great portion of the time :tt all these gather ings in her company, and her compan ions were constantly reminding her in a laughing way that she h.id captured the young New Yorker, whom rumor asserted was heir to a million or two. All this was a source of great annoy ance to Krastus. and at times caused him to appear less grae'ous, both to wards Mr. Annelsey ami others, than was usual with him. With Lucy his mood was changeable, depending a great deal upon the frequency of his rivals visits. If a week or more e'apsd without a call from Annelsey. Erastus resumed his cheerful appearance and was sel dom from home, spending much of his spare time in the hou-e. where he laughed and joked with the girls in the old time way; but the appearance of Annelsey was the signal for a return of silence on his part, and. unless there was a fathering of the young folks f rom which his absence might provoke comment, he remained a? h?tle in the company of the members of the family as possible, making an excuse of a press of work on the rauch. or of an appoint ment with some of his srentlcniau friends to spend the evening" out If he did not, on such occasions, visit Julia Ennis at her father's residence. Lucy fancied that he did. and she treated Julia when they met. with much cordiality and ap peared anxious to help on the intimacy which she thought existed between her and Erastus. Of Mr. Ensign the family saw noth ing. Once orWtce some member had inquired of Annelsey regardng him, but that gentleman knew, or appeared to know, little about him. Ensign was still in the employ of the company, he thought; perhaps swinging a pick in the tunnel; or may be at work on the flume. Having nothing to do with the accounts or directing the labors of the workmen, Mr. Annelsey could, he said, tell nothing further about him. Whether Mrs. Parsons was pleased at the frequency of Mr. Annelsey s visits or noi it would have been hard to tell. She treated him eo.trteouly. and ap peared to throw no obstacles in the way of his attention to her daughter. If she noticed the dislike which Erastus evinced at his presence she held her peace and said nothing. As for her husband, he looked for his coming with a fever sh impatience grow ing out of tKe desire be ha:l fo hews from the mining camp, which now overshadowed every other thought, and caused him to entirely forget that the young mu had amy purpose in visiting them except to brink the desired informa- :tkm regarding the progress of the work at Uravet mil. as tne cluster 01 snanoes at the miaes had been named. Se the.summer passed, and again the time approached when the girls were to return to school, and preparation were made for their departure. I almost wish we were not going back," said Jennie, as they were pack ing, wc hare kad sack apleasaat aau- mer. I am sure I never enjoyed myself so much belore in all my life, and I awfully bate to go back into those dusty, fusty little rooms in the city and poring over a lot of books that appear to have been made on purpose to puzzle one's brains without any corresponding benefit to come of it I'd ever so much rather stay at home and help mother take care of the house and the poultry, and go to a party once in a while. I wonder what Mr. Annelsey will do when we are gone?" she went on. "Do you know. Luce, I believe he is dead in love with you? And he is get ting further and further in every day he lives- Here twice last week! Ho couldn't more than have got home from j uie ur.li v.sji uuiuic uc iuiucu i.gin round and came back again. Mrs. Lucy Annelsey. wife of James Annelsey. Esq., millionaire. That sounds weli. Be lieve I'd take him, if I were you. Luce, and then I can spend the winters in New York and catch a millionaire, too, may be. Did he ever say anyth ng about coming to see you when we get back to San Francisco? "Say." she rattled on, without wait ing for a reply to her first question, what do vou s'pose makes Ras hale him so? Do vou know that if he were not half in fove with Julia Ennis I should think him jealous of you. Why, Lucy, what is the matter? Didn't Mr. Annelsey ask you to correspond with him. or "anything?" Yes, he he did, and and I wish he hadn't," sobbed Lucy, putting both hands to her face and burying it in her lap as she sat on the tloof in front of her opcu trunk. I wish 1 had never seen him," she cont'nned, between sobs. "I wish he would go back to New York and never let roe see or hear from him again. I never spent so miserable a summer in ray whole life, never; and it's all lie cause of him; and 1 know poor pa is worried to death for fear the mine will wash down upon the ranch anil cover us all up, and and and I'm jut as miserable as I can be and it's all his fault. We were just as happy as wo could be unt 1 he came." Jennie was at a loss to understand this ou break of Lucy's. She had sup posed her not indifferent to Mr. An nelsey s attentions; had thought, in fact, that she was mom in love with him tl.an she ever had been with any of her other admirers, She had come to this con clusion because Lucy had avoided talk ing about him when they were alone; and always before they bad made con fidants of" each other regarding any of the young men who occasionally es corted them to a dance or p'enic when at home or to a lecture or the theater when in the city. No one who knew the sisters or saw them together even for an hour could doubt their affection for each other; and Jennie, b.-lieving that Lucy really loved Mr. Aunelsey, had more than once caught herself drawing mental pictures of her as his wife, surrounded with all the luxuries which wealth cou'd purchase; supplementing it with another picture in which she saw herself ap pearing at one of the grand entertain ments which Lucy and her husband would give in her palatial New York home, and beiug introduced to society as the "sister of Mrs. Annelsey. who had come from California to spend the winter." It never occurred to her that Lucy could be in love with anybody else, and now she fancied that some slight mis understanding had arisen between them, and that Lucv was troubled for fear that Annelsey would not write or would not seek her out when he came to San Francisco. She felt sure he would come to the city soon, for there was noth'ng to necessitate his staying at the mines, which would not le a ve.y invit'ng place for a young man of lei sure when the rains set in and rendered hunting and fishing impossible for weeks at a time. Never mind." she said, making an effort to comfort her sister. "It will come out all right in the end. Tne course of true love never d d run smooth, ou know." This thought seemed to comfort Lucy, aud something very like a smile plawd for a moment about her mouth aud amonir the dimples in her cheeks. Jennie did not see the sni'le. for her s'ster's face was buried in her apron: but she noticed that t'le sobbing eea ed and was strengthened in her belfet re garding Lucy's fecjings for Mr. Annel sey. and. wishing to "comfort her still further, she continued: "Father has been driven off of so many pieces of land that I do not won der he is afraid something will happen him again, though 1 don't suppose there is" any danger that this place will Iks overflowed bv the debris from the mines. I can't see how it can be when they are twenty miles away. Mr. An. nelsey says there isn't. And if it should tiappen. of course the company wou d pay the damages, especially if you and James we e married." Instead of comforting Lucy, this set her crying harder than ever. Jennie could not understand her sis ter's mood, and did not know what to do or say to soothe her; and hearing their mother calling them from the kitchen, she stooped and kissed Lucy's hair, where she sat. and went down" to assist in setting the evening meal, tell ing their mother that Lucy .vould be down in a few moments." but saying nothing about having left her in tear.. When her s'ster had gone, Lucy gave way to her feelings, and cried and sobbed until her whole form shook with the violeuce of her emotions. Her excitement having worn itself out a little, she raised her head and wiped her eyes with her apron." "1 believe they :re sclFng me to him." she said, under her breath: "sell ing me to him because he is rich and can help them in case father gets into diihculty with the mining company; and Erastas'is letting them do it.' Agin her face went down upon her lap. and the sobs broke forth afresh. By and by she lifted her head again, and finally rose and bathed her face and eyes. "Poor father." she was saving to her self, "I know what the thought of los ing this place must mean to him. He has been driven off of so many and he is getting old now, both he and mother. If they were to lose this home thev would feel as if there was no place left in the world for them to go to. and if 1 can save thcml ouzht to be wilfcmr to do it: and if Erastus marries Julia Ennis, I shall not care what becomes of me anyway." Then she began crying once more, bet more qaietly than'before. When she went down to supper the family notice. that her eyes were red. but thought nothing of it" as the girls always had crviag spells for a dav or two preriobs to leaving hoate for school. pro ns oovnxusxx.3 a creat London, rorty tnonsnnd aauy eacacea .m tc In tne t FIREMEN'S HATS. Belts an4 Compsale ts Vr Tmi Tfcan Wrmriy iBtervsUax " With all the changes in the styles of haU the old regulation fireman's hat holds its own," said one of the oldest ' dealers in firemen's e mipmcais in the j city to a reporter. The place was a , little store on a down-town cross street, j and the dealer was found busily at work attaching small red-leather letters to strips of white leather by means of glue. "The regulation fireman's hat to day is the same shape as it was long be fore we began business, and tha: i twenty-five vears ago." he added. They are lighter weight, but that is the only d'fferencc. We make them usually bf black, but there are fire com panies who prefer colored ones, and we have made them in all colors. Just now we are tilling an order for a lot in a bluish-grav color. The ehief part of a fireman's hat U made of oak-tanned sole leather, fastened to a framework of strong wire. "V hat are the prices?" was asked. "The usual price Ls from 4.50 to $. each, but I have made fancy ones for presentation purposes that cost as high as 7a. You may think it a little strange, but we send a good many of them to South America Another fact that may interest the public is that Cuba has the largest fire company in the world. Why, we have made over two thousand equipments for Cuba and Havana. The reason this company U the largest known is because the whole fire department there is called one coin pan. It is known as Bomberos del Comercio No. 1. The hat is black and the front shield is the same, on which are the letters in red giving the name of the company. These letters are all cut by hand. There are very few man ufacturers of this kind of oods in the country aud onlv three or lour in this city. But there are many supplying agents who travel about the country taking orders for anything a f-re com panv needs." "But don't you make any of the hats of a shape different from thb regula tion' pattern?" "Oh. yes a good many. Somt of the companies wanting to Ih; peculiar have ordered some of helmet shape, like policemen's hats. But the style docn't last, for, after wearing them a short time, the companies usually co.uc back and want the regulation " shape. By regulation we mean the hat used by both pa'.d and volunteer departments. It has four large cones, and between these four smaller ones. For service no lettcr hat is made, and on parade they are the most becom ng to firemen. Care is alwas taken to have sufficient ventilation w.thout injuring the strength of the hat For officers and presenta tions we frequently make them with fancy embossed rim and gold leather fronts, on which is painted a steamer, hose carnage, or truck. In these fancy hats the peculiarity is in the great num ber of cones. For instance, the 'Prize Chicago Tournament' hat had 16 cones, and ouc that we had at the Centennial had 'fi'JO cones, the largest number ever known to have been put in a single hat. "The fact is," added the sjMjaker, "that the companies having the best equipments and who take mot pride in their work are the volunteer companies. As for the volunteer organizations de creasing in number, as is generally supposed, the contrary is the case. There are more volunteer companies in existence now than formerly. Take it in the towns close to New York. Each one has volunteer tire companies, and they are composed of young business men in some of the largest houses of this city. They make a sort of social club of their company as well, and at the same time are exempt from an v jury dutv." '" J "What do belts cost?" "Ordinary ones come at Sl.oO to 2. But I have prize ones for a. high as :0 and $40. A new thing in the iircman's trumpet lino is one twelve inches high that will throw the voice as far as any of a larger size, is more convenient to handle, and can be carried in the over coat pocket. It first was introduced by the Auburn Fire Department. A trumpet double-plated in silver with bell and mouth-piece, gilt, and twenty inches high, costs from $20 to $3o.X. I'. Mail and Express. PRESIDENT BUCHANAN. IIis First and Only Love ttxr aact Its Sa Terralaatloa. Mr. Buchanan was regarded, almost at the commencement of his Congressional career, as a, confirmed bachelor, his first and onlv love affair having had a sad termination. The lady's name was Ann Coleman, and she was the daughter of a proud, wealthy citizen of Lancaster. In 1620 Mr. Buchanan was elected to Congress, and the next long session was continued far into July, when he re turned home in the Baltimore stage, tired ar.d dusty. After ha had washed and changed his clothes he started out for a short stroll in his dressing-gown and slippers. Miss Grace Hubley, sister-in-law to William Jennings, who re sided on the corner of South Queen street, the terminus of the southwest angle, happening to be sitting in the parlor with all the windows open on ac count of the heat, noticing that Mr. Bu chanan had returned, went to the door, and. passing the compliments of the evening, invited him in. with which he complied, and they seated themselves by a large open window and engaged in conversation. Not more than twenty minutes thereafter an anonvmous note was handed ia to Miss Coleman, stat ing that Mr. Buchanan was too tired to call on his affianced, but that he could call on and sit and chat with Miss Hub ley. On perusing the note Miss Coleman was naturally somewhat troubled and her father insisted upon seeing it. His offended dignity was at once in arms and within an hoar the daughter was placed in the family carr'ace and on the way to Philadelphia to visit her sister, Mrs. Judge HerahilL Knowing the un relent'ag nature of her father, and nrobably feeling hurt at the innuendo thus anonymously conveyed to her. ilthoagh an intelligent and accom plished young lady and very much at tached to her bcrrothetT lover, she be c me despondent and ia her despair took laudanum and was a corpse on the day following her reaching Philadelphia- Mr. Buchanan requested per mission to attend the fwneral as chief ojouraer.bnt was mdely refused.

What Shnatit form the Diet af Werksrs aail Non-Workers. Those who have little time for excr ciso and are compelled to live chiefly within doors must endeavor to secure, or should have secured for them as far as possible by employers, by way ol compensation, a regular supply of fresh air, without draughts, an atmos phere as free from dust and other im purities as eau be obtained, with a good supply of light, and some artificial warmth when needed. These necessi ties granted, cereal foods, such as well made bread in variety, and vegetable produce, including fruits, should form a great part of the diet consumed, with a fair additiou of eggs and milk if no meat is taken, and little of other ani mal food than fish. On such a dietary, and without alcoholic stimulants, thou sands of such workers as I liave briefly indicated may enjoy, with very little exercise, far better health and more strength than at present they experience on meat and heavy puddings, beer, baker's bread ami cheese. Of course there are workers who belong to neither of the two extreme classes indicated, and who-e habits can not be described as sedentary, but who occupy a middle place between the two. For such some rorrespouding modification of the d ctary is naturally appropriate. But it is a vulgar error to regard meat in any form as necesary to life; ii for any it is necessary, it is for the hard-working outdoor laborers, and for these a cer ain proportion is nc doubt desirable. Animal flesh is use- . ful. aUo. as a concentrated form of f nutriment, valuable for its portability. and for the small spac-i it occupies in tho stomach unrivaled in certain cir cumstances. Like every other descrip tion of food, it is highly useful in its place, but is ay no means necessary for n iii"C juupuitiuii ui kite ivjui.hiuii.
