There were crickets in tho bushes ,
And glow worms iu the grass ,
Ami the crows among the pme trees

And the harebells were n-riugln"1
To greet the little lass. °
From the topmost rail a Fqulrrcl

Slade her run away and cry.
She toddled home unsteady ,
Wjth dilapidated look ;
One shoo was in the brambles ,
Tne other In the brook ;
Her parasol was minus
The little wary crook.
Her hair was all a-tansle.
There were blisters on her nose ,
Her face was stained with berries ,
And rumpled were her clothes ,
And through her draggled stockings
Peeped out her pink white toes.

A LOVER'S QUARTETTE.
"Well , if j'ou can't get your own con-
cut , Mrs. Decry , I suppose you can't , "
: aid Mr. Perrin. his reproachful gaze
ixed upon the fly promenadmij the wid-
iw's plump wrist. "I had hoped on re-
. lection that you would come to consid
er my proposal favorably , but it seems
'on think you couldn't be happy with
ne. "
"I couldn't bo happy with Roxana , "
csponded the lady impetuously ; then ,
shocking herself , she Hushed like the
roodbine at the window , and in her
urn gazed down upon tho itinerating
"Oh , if you refuse me on account of
ister , Mrs. Deery , I really can't take
no' for an answer , " cried her suitor
rith an encouraged air.
The widow's gaze never swerved
rom the insect , now chaffing its stift-
med legs upon her thumb.
"You'd have 110 trouble in getting on
rith sister , I'll wager , " persued the
ager wooer. "You rarely see an even-
r-tcmpered woman. "
"Yes , that's just it , Mr. Perrin ; Rox-
tna's too perfect , " broke forth the lady ,
rushing away the fly with startling en
ergy. "It would fidget me to death to
ive with her. She's a chosen vessel ,
rad I'm only common clay. "
The widow Deery , common clay , in-
leed ! Mr. Perrin would have divined
ho contrary unaided by the officious
'
tmbeam which darted'out at that in-
tant to point out her manifold attrac-
ions. Being deeply in lovo , he took ad-
antage of his 'opportunity to ; pay a
landsome compliment and to renew
lis suit
For one intoxicating moment his
air listener wavered , but the moment
tassed.
r-- * > "Hush , please , Mr. Perrin ! Don't say
my more about it ! " cried she , with a
oss of her bewitching brown curls. "I
night care for you" the tremor in her
! oice was very nearly his undoing "I
night care for you , but I could not
ireathe with Roxana. Think how my
ittle boy would worry her ! She wouldn't
peak an unkind word , but every time
ie left sticky finger-prints on a door I
hould feel that she wished that he and
lis mother had staid away. "
"I might " Mr. Perrin paused ,
hocked at his base impulse. Had he
.ctiially been about to remark that he
night provide sister with another
ionic5 sister , who but for devotion to
lis interests , might now be matronizing
v homo of her"own ? Dear , faithful
{ oxana ! Could he ever requite her for
hoso weary years of watchfulness be-
ide the couch of his helpless , dying
rife ? The full measure of the saeri-
ice he had known at the time , but now
tad no doubt th.it for Climena's sake
aid his she had discarded Joel Kirby.
? o , no ; sister should never be requested
o vacate the dwelling over which she
lad ruled so long and so well ! And to
Jr. Perrin's credit be it stated , that in
be ardor of his passion for the little
ridow he closed his lips on the disloyal
rords that perchance might have won
ler , and strode forth from her cottage
.rejected lover.
Mr. Perrin's feet had traversed the
neadow and ascended the slope of the
lastvire adjoining ere his mind had
aught up with them. Then he mur-
nured half audibry : "I wonder wheth-
r Kirby did call this afternoon ? When
saw his team coming over the ridge ,
t struck me I might as well steal off
hrough the orchard. Considering he's
a the neighborhood looking up old
riends , he can't civilly pass by Roxana ;
aid I wouldn't be a hindrance in
use. "
His soliloquy merged into a low
rhistle of satisfaction. He had
cached the bars opposite his own gate ,
md at the gate , his fore-feet deep in a
lollow pawed by their impatience ,
lood Mr. Kirby's gay sorrel.
At the spectacle Mr. Perrin's heart
Kjundcd within him and he grasped the
upmost ral for support. Should he
cad the forgotten horse away to the
table , or should he by so doing ap-
iear to take too much for granted ?

D be exceedingly hospitable , but he

excitement the ha-
a/ * In unprecedented
' * ntuahV easy-going man debated with-
n himself regarding the course of con-
wet befitting this exceptional occasion ,
( ind finally judged it best to interfere
nth the probable wooing in no particu-
nr. Accordingly he crept quietly
iround to the porch door with a sur-
eptitious glance at the sitting-room
rindow in passing. A brisk lire of
hips revealed to him his rather prim
rondo sister seated in a low rocker be-
, .re the hearth , and Joel Kirby leaning
.gainst the mantel near her , volubly
iiscoursing.
' the ball without
"They'veopened
ne , I guess , " mused the skulking host-
ss'facetiousry , as he hitched his chair
.Ion0" to the kitcken stove to
iwm his feet in the oven. Seeing
that it's tho first visit , I must say that
Joel stays it out well. Unquestionably
he means business. What's to prevent ?
He's a first-rate fellow ami'11 make a
kind husband. If I wasn't sure of that
I wouldn't consent to his having Rox
ana. I should hate to have him take
her out to California I hope it is true
that he has bought back the old home
stead. Well , well , wouldn't I like to
be a little mouse in the sitting-room
wall about this time ? "
Could he have had his wish a most
astonished little mouse would the wor
thy man have presented.
"You are the most morbidly con
scientious person , Roxy , that I know
of , " Mr. Jvirby was saying with a frown
that scored his forehead with horizontal
lines like the staff in written music.
"If I could only convince yon that it
was your duty to become my wife , I
should stand some chance of getting
you ; but unluckily for me , you've cher
ished the notion that you must keep
house for your brother until you "
"Brother needs me , " murmured Miss
Roxana , tears swelling in her eyes of
"baby blue. "
"And don't I need you ? Haven't I
some rights ? During your stricken
sister's illness I consented to waive
these , but now she is gone and I want
you. "
"Don't Joel , don't. "
"I tell you I do , and I can't help it , "
cried Mr. Kirby with grim humor.
"When I couldn't move you by letter I
resolved I'd come and speak for myself.
You used to say you loved me , Roxv.
' ' 1
Can't you
' You know plenty of other ladies ,
Joel , younger and more pleasing , " fal
tered Miss Roxana , nervously smooth
ing the pale gilding of hair that framed
her temples in a gotlnc arch.
"They are nothing to me , " replied
the gentleman curtly , as if he esteemed
the fact a matter of regret.
Assured of the favor of more than
one pretty girl of his acquaintance , was
it not a little hard that the full current
of his being must needs be set toward
this unresponsive woman of thirtIt
had been ever thus with Joel Kirby
from his perverse childhood , when , if
he wanted cake , no human power could
induce him to nibble gingerbread.
"No , Roxy , there's only one woman
in the world for me , " he continued in a
softer tone. "Your brother is of a dif
ferent temperament Has it never oc
curred to you that he may marry
again ? "
"Brother marry ! Oh , no , indeed ,
he'll never marry never ! " cried Miss
Roxana , grounded and rooted in the
belief that her brother's heart was en
tombed with the dead Climena. "No ,
he could not take another wife , and you
see he has only me. I couldn't be so
cruel as to leave him. "
To all Mr. Kirby's subsequent plead
ings she made this same reply , but it
soothed his chafing spirit not a little
that she made it with faltering , and
that she parted from himself with tears.
As the sound of his rapid wheels
died away in the distance she hastily
dried her eyes and hurried into tho
kitchen to see about the belated supper.
Mr. Perrin still gloating over castles in
Spain , looked up with the roguish pur
pose of addressing her as "Mrs. Kir
by , " but dismayed at her troubled
countenance , remarked instead that the
'days were getting shorter" a fact
that she had observed before.
He felt as if he had received a blow.
For him there was , there could be , but
one interpretation of his sister's un
wonted emotion. She loved Kirby , and
Kirby no longer cared for her. Poor
girl , she dreamed that a man's affections
were like granite boulders , incapable of
change , and she was awakening with a
shock. Hapless Roxana ! She too had
her trials. Keenly sympatlu-tic. the
magnanimous brother concealed his own
disappointment as best he could , and
lavished upon his sorrowful sister an ex
cess of tenderness.
"You have the knack of spoiling me
for other folks' cooking , little woman ,
that's the truth , " said he at tea-time ,
ostentatiously heaping his plate with
cream toast. "How should I ever get
along without vou ? "
'
"That'll ma'ko her feel that I ap
preciate her if Joel doesn't , he mused
benevolently ; while she , on her side of
the table , was thinking , "It's just as I
suspected ; it would kill brother to lose
me. "
"Oh , you'd manage somehow. May
be you'd marry , " she ventured timidly ,
almost hearing the lluttering of the lost
Climena's wings.
"Poh ! poh ! sister , nothing seems
less likely , " answered her brother , in a
voice so sad that Miss Roxana eluded
herself for having opened her old
wound afresh. But she had done it for
Joel's sake. She owed it to Joel to
make sure that there could be no mis
understanding.
The October days with their noonday
patches of sunshine and their heavy
borders of twilight came and went. In
a spasm of hope that the charming wid
ow might yet consent to share the do
mestic scepter with his sister , Mr. Per
rin made a second proposal , only to re
ceive a second decided , though flatter
ing refusal. Mr. Kirby repeated his
call upon Miss Roxana , and departed ,
cursing fate , and by no means loving
Mr. Perrin , whom he supposed perfectly
acquainted with the relations between
himself and Roxana. Overtaking Mr.
Perrin one day walking home from the
post-office , Mr. Kirby with inward re
luctance asked him to ride. With equal
reluctance Mr. Perrin accepted , reflect
ing , "If I ain't civil he'll take it that
I'm mad because he doesn't renew his
offer to Roxaua , and I wont humor
him. "
"Heavy frost last night , " growled
Mr. Kirby.
" , " assented the other
"Very , con
scious of an inward chill. "Winter is
upon us. Shall you spend it in Maine ? "
"My plans are uncertain , " snarled
Mr. Kirby ; adding , mentally , "Thanks
to you. sir , "
"Of course you can choose your own
climate. There's the advantage of
having plenty of money and no family
ties. "
"No family ties ! Whose fault was
it that he had no family ties ? " mused
the irate bachelor , making rapid paces
over his long beard as if he would mes
merize the pain in his breast. "Might
not Roxana have been his wife years
ago but for the necessities of this selfish
brother ? "
"Though I've lately heard it hinted ,
Joel , that you are thinking of marry
ing. " Mr. 'Perrin blundered on , in his
embarrassment saying the very thing
he had resolved not to say.
Mr. Kirby snapped his whip , and
transfixed his companion with a glance
so frigid that poor Mr. Perrin shivered
as if he was impaled on an icicle.
"Your cousin is a line girl , Joel an
uncommonly fine girl. I I congratu
late you , " he stammered , wishing it
would do to get out and walk.
"You arc loo kind. Perrin too kind
by half , " sneered Mr. Kirby , letting go
the reins of his anger. "You've robbed
me of one bride , sir. and now you want
to make amends , do you , by choosing
me another ? "
' Why , Kirby , what are you raving
about ? When have I injured you
matrimonially or otherwise ? " cried Mr.
Perrin in a tone of injured innocence.
"You're laboring under some strange
delusion. "
"Do you pretend it's a delusion of
mine that but for you Roxana would be
my wife ? "
"Oh , he's twitting me on old
scores , " mused Mr. Perrin , aggrieved.
"He blames me for letting sister give
tip her prospects in life for Climena's
sake. Sister would do it and she never
told me there was anything between
her and Joel. " "When a man's in a
tight place , Joel , he's apt to realize his
own needs better than the needs of his
brethren , I suppose , " he said aloud
after a moment's pause. "But I'm
sorry if you bear me a grudge. "
"Tight place ! Do you call yourself
in a tight place , Perrin a strong ,
hearty fellow like you ? You ought to
to be independent of your sister. You
ought to hire a housekeeper and let
Roxnna go. "
"Let Roxana go ! Where ? " inter
rogated the befogged Mr. Perrin.
"Wherever she prefers to live. I
should let her decide that after we were
married , " replied Mr. Kirby , impatient
ly. "The main point is to get her away
from j'ou. She says you say 3011
couldn't live without her. "
"Yes , Idid say it I did say it ; but I
take it all back , " cried Mr. Perrin , fair
ly bliivking in the light that suddenly
illuminated his darkened mind. "I sue
things clearer than I did , Joel. I won't
stand any longer between you and Rox
ana. "
"Your hand on it ? "
'My hand on it , Joel. I shall be glad
proud , that is to give sister to you ;
and if you are going on up to the house
you can tell her I said so. "
"Thank you , Pen-in thank you. And
if I've spoken sharply I beg your par
don , " cried Mr. Kirby , smiling like a
Santa Glaus.
"Oh , it's all right. Everything is all
right , " replied Mr. Perrin , too happy to
keep it to himself. "Drop mo here ,
Kirby , please ; 1 have an engagement to
make. And make it to-day I shall and I
will. God willing , " he added beneath
his breath , as he dismounted before the
door of the widow Deery.
The Art of Conversation.
The fine art of conversation is little
cultivated. Yet how much of positive
value it lends to life ! Of all the means
by which one can give pleasure to an
other this is the very best ; yer , although
it would seem to be within the reach
of every one , there are few of us , in
deed , who have ever taken part in a
really good conversation. This realm
of conversation would seem to ba pre
eminently the woman's kingdom , and
history tells of women who , by means
of this rare art , have influenced whole
periods and social states. Such a wide
power is not accorded to every woman ;
in its highest expression conversation
is a gift rather than an art ; but any
woman may aspire to putting at ease
every one who approaches her. and
diffusing an atmosphere of bright and
graceful thought around. To bring
out the best thoughts of one's inter
locutor is , perhaps , the highest touch of
this dainty art ; and , indeed , there is
something almost divine in it when it
reaches this stage , for to redeem from
the commonplace and to inspire with
loftier mood is a godlike rather than a
human work.
Such an art is worth cultivating ; but
how ? There is no text-book of conver
sation , no method of talking prescribed
in the schools. It is one of the tilings
that must be learned bydoing it. Yet
we set down as a fundamental rule
that , to converse well , three things are
necessary ; the first is sympathy , and
the second is sympathy , "and the third
"
is sympathy. "To go out of one's self ,
to meet those with whom one talks ,
not half way , but clear upon their own
ground ; to lift tiie veil from their best
thought this is the secret of good con
versation. It is talking , as Bacon tells
us , which makes the ready man ; but
not all talking makes the ready con
versationalist. Not monologue , nor
talk in which the center of interest is
in the talker. There must be the clash
of counter-interest , the friction of mind
and mind , the shuttlecock play of words
thrown quickly to and fro.
Anthony Trollope lays down as a rule
for novelists that conversation should
be broken into short sentences ; that no
one utterance should be allowed more
than a certain number of lines. The
rule holds good beyond the limits of the
novel ; short sentences , unincumbered
by parenthesis or explanatory clauses ,
are absolutely essential to conversation.
It is not politeness , but the nature of
things , which forbids the speaker to
monopolize conversation. Conversa
tion ceases the moment talk becomes a
monologue. A great man now and
then , like Coleridge , might be per
mitted to do all the talking ; but that
is not conversation which lie does , but
something quite different , however val
uable.

" James what is the "
"Why , , matter ?
asked the High School girl , as her
brother came in with his eye blackened.
"O , had a fight with a couple of kids ;
but I'll get at 'em one at a time and
take it out of their hides , see if I don't , "
replied Jim.
"O James don't 'take it

Fin-tune sometimes favors the fairaBwell
IIM the brave. Mrs. W. O. llubhard , of tliia
city , took 11 sudden notion on tho10th day
of .May last to invi-sr. one dollar in the
Louisittnn State Lottery. Accordingly she
purchased from nn n cut a ono-fiftli ticket ,
No. GoSOU , for the smallsunt of onedolliir.
The drawing camo off the next dny , tho
lltli ult. , and the ticket cf which she held
a one-fifth drew a prize of $25,000. She
left the ticket with the aent : till the follow
ing Monday , when she came around to get
it , and was overjoyed to find it had drawn
a prize. A friend of the agent had pre
viously purchased the same ticket along
with ano her , but as both tickets were
even numbered , he turned this one back ,
and Mrs. Hubbard coming in , secured it ,
and ultimately the prize with it. Her
husband was bartender at the time
at Charlie Eaton's saloon in the Pico
House. The ticket was forwarded through
Wells , Fargo it Co.'s Express to the mana
gers of the Louisiana State Lottery atNew
Orleans , and they promptly remitted tho
cash. Neither Mrs. Hubbard nor her hus
band got excited over their good fortune ,
and Sirs. Hubbard immediately went back
and invested in another ticket , remarking
that she was "in hopes thatlightning might
strike the same place the second time. "
Since tho Pico House bar has changed
hands , Mr. Hubbard has been helping out
at the St. Elmo. Mr. Hubbard before coyi-
ing to Los Angeles was a bartender in Port-
lank , Oregon , where he is well known , and
has many friends who will rejoice to hear
of his good luck. Mr. Hubbard has notyet
expressed himself as to his future inten
tions , but with so many golden opportuni
ties in Southern California , such a nest egg
as his cannot help winning for him a very
large fortune in the course of a short time.
