Many years ago, alreckle-faced, red haired, round-shouldered Vermont boy, nineteen years old, was employed as a driver on a horse-car in Albany. Living not far from the corner of State and Engle streets was a sixteen-year-old, be witching maiden, who was one of his Eossengers almost daily. We will call er Louise Bobbins. This driver, whom we will name Henry Martin, in order to conceal his identity, though far from pre possessing in-appearance, had as -tender a heart under his rough exterior, and far more genuine manliness than the majority of the city swells who pa raded htate street then just as the dude does to-Gay. But Miss Louise thought the young car-driver the most awkward and un couth specimen of maa flesh -she had ever set her soft, laughing black eyes upon, She drew his portrait and pre sented it to a lady friend, and labeled it . "The Bed Bose, or the Horse-Car Heater. ' ' Many were the jokes she and her associates perpetrated on poor, in offensive Henry Martin, and he was not so Btupid as not to know it. Yet, un natural as it may seem, the more she xidiculed him the fonder he grew of Miss Louise; for the awkward youth, while fully realizing. the great gulf be tween their social stations, could not help worshiping the ground she trod on. He knew how preposterous it was for a car-driver to cherish affection for the daughter of so wealthy an Albanian, yet her image was ever before him, though he struggled hard to destroy his mad love. He ascertained her name by Watching the store packages sent to her ; home, and an old diary still in his pos session shows the pame of Louise Bob bins on every page. His letters to his widowed mother in Vermont at that time were filled with .glowing descriptions of a dark-eyed school-girl .whom he thought the pretti est and dearest lady in all the land and to that mother, the only person in the world who knew the value of his noble heart, he told the story of his si lent worship of Miss Louise. Sensible mother that she was', she warned him of his folly, which must end only in bitter disappointment. At last there came a day when Louise was his only passenger. With a tern- E est in his soul and tears streaming down is face, he stammered out the declara tion that she was an .angel, that he knew he has no right to talk to her so, "but oh. Miss Bobbins, if you knew how 1 love yon, you would not blame me, for I can't help it." Louise did not scream or get frightened: she only laughed in his face, 'and said: "You get back'.to that horse or He will run away and. kill us both, and don't you dare act like a fool again." Notwithstanding Louise was still in her teens, she had listened several times to the tearful en treaties of fashionable young and old ' men, who not only knew that she was ai fascinating creature, but were surely aware that she was the only daughter -of a very wealthy gentleman. She had told them all that they were very kind and 'she would always be their dear friend, sister, cousin, or anything but their wife. But poor Henry, with his fiery head, weather-beaten face, big hands, red and chapped, did not quite "fail 'in touching a, tender place in her heart, and' when she had gone to bed that night; though she laughed almost hysterically when she thought of the car-driver's ludicrous performance, there oame the conviction, here is a genuine man, the only one of my ad mirers who means what he says, and for the first time she pitied man. Then' she grew angry with.nim for his audaci ty, called her father to her and told him of the incident, but when the angry father said he' would have him dis charged and fired out of town the next day she pleaded that he was a 'poor, simple'fellow, and that he did not mean to do anvtbinsr wron?. But the father -Tras"obdurate, and the -following-day nenry was not gurpnseu wnen ne was not only discharged by the company, but was warned to leave the city. The newspapers stated that the "blear-eyed, red-headed ruffian, Henry Martin, had made indecent proposals to an unpro tected jyoung passenger in a horse-car, and that he deserved to be lynched." At night he crept -near the abode of Louise, that he. might possibly have one more glimpse of her, when a policeman arrested him as a suspicious character, and he was taken to the lock-up. While there a messenger brought a tiny envel ope containing & little bunch of flowers, forget-me-nots, and a half sheet of pa per, on which were these words: "I know you meant no harm. I don't - love-you- and I- don't love any man. Please go away and not'eome back for ten years. L. B." To most young men this would not "have been a verv cheering letter, but to Henry jt seemed the very gate of Hea ven. Next day he was liberated on the promise that he would leave the city." At nau xaKen au oi .ne earnings to sup- Sart his mother, who was an invalid, be street railroad owed him only five dollars, 'which' was all the money he had in the world. . With four dollars of it he bought a bouquet and sent it. to Louise, In the center of it, on a piece of brown jjapery were these words:- "I shall return ten years .from yesterday. My hair may change, but my heart .never. I shall. think of yon.every.hour and pray for you caeh night. Freckles." He found'a man who was shipping a blooded liorse . to Chicago, and by tak ing care of the' animal Henry waa al lowed free passage to tbatrcity. -When hcarrived in Chicago; he had only ten -cents left. He spent" five cents in a ctaitfrfand stationery and "wrote to his mother ' There was no 'despondency in that letter. . He got ajob i-a livery 'itabk that day at good wage,. ..- J. ?WiMh a few dav a hene stolen frdartiie ataUeaca Henry wasnested "Wsuicionofbeinganacconpircfc, He 'Mil ailfortei'dayaVwaeask was liber ated ior lack of evidence juatas was stoma BTJtavfcraisi fever.' Mm i was seat to tho city hospital, where for two weeks he was delirious. His at tendant' noticed a strong cord about hie aecl to which was attached a pewter locket; ia which was a bunch of dried forget-me-nots. He was a mere shadow of his former self 'when he regained consciousness. A kind-hearted' clergy-, man became an interested and frequent visitor to him, loaned him books to read and when he became strong enough took Henry to his home. The red hair of .Henry alt came out, and when it grew again it was a dark auburn color,' and the freckles never returned. ' - The clergyman needed a man about the garden and to care for- his horse.: and gave Henry the situation at food wages. , I must be brief in this romance from real life".''' In less than 'two years Henry Martin, thanks to the benevolent clergyman, was in Harvard College. In six years from the time he left Albany he was a minister of the Gospel. At the end of eight years he'was the pastor of a fashionable church in Chica-, go at a salary of $5,000 a year, and he' had $5,000 to his credit in the. bank. Nine years and eleven months from the time he left Albany he started 'on his annual vacation: As he kissed his white-haired mother good-bye, he said: The ten years are nearly gone. I can) surely find her, and will telegraph you, the result. God help me." Five years; auer neury nau jeitAiuauy were came great financial panic and Louise Bob-1 no' ftnir hm n. hinbmnt bins' father became a bankrupt. Almost penniless, he and his daugh ter removed to New York, where he be came a book-keeper for a gentleman whom he once employed in his store in Albany. The father and daughter lived in a modest way in an up-town fiat. Mr. Bobbins never reproached Louise for anything, except that she was such a recluse from society and would allow no attention from any gentlemen. Be could see no beauty in an old, dried bouquet which Louise always kept in her room, which she brought with her from Albany. He sometimes had fears lest she was losing her mind, for in her sleep she was continually muttering something that sounded like Henry Martin. One day he said to her: "Who is Henry Martin? I never knew any Henry Martin, except the vaga bond who insulted you in an Albany horse-car." Louise turned pale, but made no reply. Can the reader guess why, as the ten years had nearly passed since she wrote that note to the car-driver, she appeared absent-minded, was startled by any noise; that she took extra pains in crimping her hair and making herself as attractive as possible. She had not had one word from Hen ry Martin since he left Albany, and did not know whether he was dead or alive. She had frequently read notices of the talented young preacher of the same name, who bad created such a furore in Chicago, but she never mistrusted that he was the one whose return she longed and prayed for. One afternoon there came a knock at her door, which she answered, and ushered him into their little parlor as he inquired for her fa ther, who would be in shortly. Louise is startled by something in this stran ger which reminds her of Henry Mar tin. She almost stares at him to see if it is possible that he is a relative of the car driver. No, she says to herself, it can not be. What a magnificent bearing this gentleman has. He is the picture of health. His dark auburn nair is brushed back from a high, classical forehead. He is tall and thin, but is very erect, and has square shoulders. His voice is deep and mellow, and though his eyes are pierc ing there is an expression on his faoe as tender as a woman's. In a calm, dig nified way.'the stranger inquires: "Did you ever know a car-driver by the name of Henry Martin?" Before she could answer the tears involuntarily filled her eyes. With trembling voice he interrupts her and says: "It is now four o'clock; ten years ago at this very hour Henry Martin received a very precious note. Are you willing to receive me to-day. or " isefore he can finish the sentence she hasher arms about his neck, and says: "I knew you would return to me!" When Bev. Dr. Martin returned from his vacation he brought his wife with him, and to-day, in a city still further West, where he is the leading clergy man, he shows me a pretty locket con taining some dried flowers, which he says were forget-me-nots, and intro duces me to his wife, one of the love liest ladies I have ever seen. Albany Journal. Dien't Steal. "Gentlemen," said an Arkansaw Col onel as he stood under the limb of a tree from which depended a rope, "I must protest my innocence. I did not steal this male. lam above petty theft. I know that you all have the interest of the community at heart, and I do not blame you; but there are times when we are liable to be too rash. If I had stolen the.mule my guilt would oppress me until 1 would beg to be put out of the worlt in the most summary way." "The mule was found in your posses sion," said the leader of the mob. "Very truo, my dear sir." "Did he jump into your lot?" "No, sir; I conducted him to the con fines of my premises." ' "Did yon buy the animal?" "No. sir." ' "Did you trade for him?" "I did not" "Then you stole him. Let down the rope boys." "Gentlemen, I hope you will give me a. chance to explain! The mule in Snestion was the property of onr dis nguished fellow-citizen, Major Bugles- irci. ouuiD imie gu me iuajor ana l exchanged a few words of an. 'uncom plimentary ' nature.

The next day the Major and met. I got what is vul garly called the drop on him, and' re lieved him of the top of his head. - He was riding a mule at the time, and when he fell off I saw that he no longer had any practical use for the animal, so I took charge of him. Now, of I had dismounted in the way he did I should have interposed no objection to' the Major's taking my hope. ' ' "Ihope, sir, that you will excuse us," replied, the leader of. the mob. "We thought that you stole the mule. Your explanation is most satisfactory, and I hope you'll excuse us. Letns'all take a drink." Arkansaw Traveler.

X' Times. - . . . Ke ei the tine was spent in killing en elephants, and reach work it was. The asuaaals had been hunted so much that they only cane aahere on'one part the island called .Long Beach, and where there was a heavy sea breaking u u ume; so me oniy way to ao was to drive the animals off shore and -to keep thesa off, so that they would oesne ashore in other places where they could be killed. The Jong beach was covered with thousands of elephants in regular herds, like cattle, abont-fifty to a lot, and each under theleasLoljtbigaaale called a beach-master. Our business wan to take long , seal-skin .whips, tail into the herds, "and drive "them off, which was no fool f a job We walked along about an, eighth of a mile apart, and had some close scrapes sometimes. Some of the beach-masters were thirty feet long and weighed three tons. They didn't seem to know what fear meant, and you, could, walk right among them and' give them the whip right and left, and then the roaring and flopping bommeaoixL Fight? 1 should say so. There was a 'Portug' with our gang that was about as reckless a chap as I ever was; he'd rush intoacrowd and run right up on the back of a big fellow and lath er it with his whip for a minute, and then slide oil. One day he did this when we were in a crowd oi big ones. J?3 'oot slipped, and he slid rigEt the cntterTs shoulder, and the over next minute tne Dull bad him. lie bad on a thick canvas shirt and overalls, and by the slack: of the latter .the, bull grabbed' him and tosse$him ten feet in the air, his whip going one way and he another. He landed in the sand all right "Sometimes we didn't come off so well. One of our men was tossed by the legthe bull biting-right through it, cleaning him out for good. But the worst ugnis x saw were Between ine bulls themselves. If a young bull got into a herd by mistake it was good-bye, John. The old bull would take him by the neek, tear great pieces of skin off, and if he couldget a good hold toss him tenor twelve-feet up, and when he landed grab.him again, and in the long run sometimes kill him. When we got the elephants off shore they swam around to another beach" where the wa ter was smooth, and here we shot them or knocked the smaller ones over with clubs, and tried out the blubber for oil and barreled it up. To get to this beach you had to cross two glaciers, and there we had huts and lived part of the time." "Were there any other animals there?" "Never saw anything except birds. But thevmade up for the rest. There was millions of 'em; big birds called the albatross, and another called the killer a gull'three times as big as those fel lers you see down the b:iy. They were lust like earles: didn't eat lish. but killed other birds and ate meat; and when we set to skinning an elephant, I tell you it was nip and tuck sometimes. Why, I've seen them gulls make a rush at a bull we were at work on, and light right on the critter and tear the meat out of our hands, so that we'd have to stop and go for them with clubs. The air would be black with them, and the noisd'was enough to set vou crazy. One of the gulls came near killing one of the men, and then saved his. life af ter all. He wa-j climbing over the gla cier, when tho bird made a dash at him and knocked him oil'. The man threw out his arm and grabbed the bird by the leg, and down they both went, sliding about one hundred and fifty feet, the bird flopping and half holding him up, and that was all that saved him. "Some time in the year the elephants immigrate, and when they come back young ones are born, mere s a curi ous thing the young crittensuck for a while and then an; left on the bench, actually growing fat without anything to eat These we never killed. The young ain't white like seal's, but black, and don't show the snout until they get three year old or so. That's what they are called sea elephants for, as they have a sort of trunk that is about ten inches long, and whin they.getmad it's blown up in some way and looks like a regular elephants trunk." N r. Sun. Fevered a Higher Hae. Will. Taylor, the son of the present American Consul at Marseilles, was a good deal like other boys, while at school ra his old home at Hudson, Wis., One day he called his father into the library and said: "Pa, I don't like to tell you, but the teacher and I have had trouble." "What's the matter now?" "Well, I cut one of the desks a little with my knife, and the teacher says I've got to pay a dollar or take a lickhV." "Well, why don't you, take the lick ing and say nothing more about it I can stand considerable physical pain, so long as it visits our family in that form. Of course it Is not pleasant to be flogged, but yon have broken a rule of the school, and I guess you'll have to stand it I presume that the teacher will in wrath remember mercy, and avoid dis abling you so that you can't get your coat on any more." "But pa, I feel mighty bad about it al ready, and if you would pay my fine I'd never do it again. I know a good deal more about it now, and I will never do it again. "A dollar ain't much to you, pa, but it's a heap to a boy that hasn't got a cent, it i coaiu make a aoliar as easy as you can. pa, I'd never let my little boy get flogged that way just to save a dollar. If i bad a little feller that got licked bekuz I didn't put up fer him, Td hate the sight of money al ways. I'd feel as if every dollar I had in my poeket had been taken out of mv little kid's back:" "Well, now; Til tell you what I'll do. I'll give you a dollar to save you from punishment this time, but if any thing of this kind ever occurs again, 111 nold you while the teacher licks Jou, and .then I'll get the teacher to old you while I lick you That's the way I feel about that If you want to E around whittling up our educational titutions yon can do so; but you will have, to nurchase them afterwards Your self. I don't propose to buy any more damaged school furniture. You proba bly grasp" my meaning, do you not? I send you to school to acquire an educa tion, not to acquire liabilities so that yon can come around and make an assessment on me. I feel a great in tent in yon-Willie, but I do not feel as though itshould be an assessable interest I want to go on, of course, and improve the property, but when I pay my dues on it I want to know that it goes toward development work. I don-1 want my assessments to go toward the purchase of a school-desk with American hiertv glyphies carved on it -"Ihope" yon will bear this in vowr raind,mr sesv and beware. It will be ?y to your interest to beware. If I yew mm awoow pstni large portion of my rime In the beware) business." The bey took the dollar aad went thoughtfully away to school, and no more was ever theoght about the saat ter until Mr. Taylor learned casually several months' later that the Spartan1 youth .had receiver the walloping and filed, away the dollar for future refer ence. The boy was afterward heard to say that he favored a much heavier fine in cases of that kind. One whipping was sufficient, he said, bat he favored a fine of five dollars.

The upper waters of the rivers hi Maine run through lowlands covered in the . summer. . with tall, stoat grass, which.-if cnt early in the season, makes nutritious hay. My father owned sev eral acres of lowland in a lonely valley far up the Dash .Biver When the time came for catting the grass, several of the family, would go to the "lowland' and camp there for three' or four days, until the hay was made. One season, on arriving at our camp ing-place, father, who was a chewer of tobacco, discovered that his tobacco box was at home, instead of in his coat pocket I, being the youngest of the party, was sent back to the house for I had walked about a mile on my way back when 1 heard a twig snap. Looking round I saw a large bear about ten rods behind me. My first impulse was to run; then I thought I would shout But I wisely decided that per haps it would be safer to walk along as coolly as I could and not apparently take say notice of the animal. I was much relieved to find that though fol lowing, he did not exert himself to ap proach me. After walking about half a mile, in a suspense that kept my head turned half around, fearing every moment lest bruin might run upon me, I reached the top of a hill from which I saw, on the bank of the river below, an old ca noe and paddle. Seeing that this was my chance, the moment I lost sight of the bear over the crest of the hill, I started and ran at full speed. Gaining the canoe, I Iaunohed it jumped in, and by one hard stroke paddled it into the stream. Twenty seconds more would have been too late. The bear came running down the hill and jumped) into the stream, within five feet of the canoe. He followed it for a short distance,' but my quick, short strokes caused him alt last to give up the chase. I watched him swim back and disappear in the woods. Then I leisurely floated along with the current thinking over my nar row escape, uu Bearing a piace in tne river where a point jutted far out from both banks, 1 saw old brum standing on one bank, waiting for me. I could not turn and paddle against the current It was too strong for me to make much headway. So I headed the canoe as far away from the point as I could, and then paddled desperately so as to pass a. quickly as possible. The bear leaped, but miscalculating my speed, fell short of the canoe, by a few feet. I paddled away from him and soon lost sight of an animal who had cortainly shown more than ordinary sagacity. I floated down to where father and my two brothers were, told my story, and father had to go without his tobacco. Youth's Companion. m Tricycles fer Ladies. The use of the tricycle by ladies does notseem to have become so general in this country as the use of the bicycle by men. This is a great pity, because American women should take more ex ercise than they do now; and tricycle riding seems to possess many advan tages not so fully found elsewhere. Were it once given the approval of fashion it is almost certain that it would become extremely popular with all classes of American women. It is the testimony of large numbers of English lad:es that it is a delightful, pleasurable and healthful pastime. Moreover, now that bicycling is becoming so common among men, it is only fair that the ladies should be given a chance to follow them, so to speak. There are obvious reasons why they can not get on the male bicycle; to follow on foot is out of the question; and even the native gal lantly of the male cycler will not make it possible for him to stand still on his machine in a country road to talk with his lady friends. The side-saddle was designed to enable the ladies to accom pany the gentleman on horseback. In the same way the tricycle seems to have been invented to enable them to accom pany male humanity in the healthful ex ercise of bievcling. American Indies only want the op portunity to use and enjoy this means of speedy locomotion. They are brave enough to mount kicking ponies, stumb ling cobs, or bolting and runaway hunt ers. Will they not be braye1 enough to fill their places with this ready, Inex pensive and beautiful "steed of steel?" It is quite possible, too. that the tri cycle might enlarge the sphere of worn au's work in suburban towns and coun try districts. The female book agent might if mounted on it slay her thou sands where now she only slays her hundreds. The appointment of female trioyclers as letter-carriers would be a novel and a picturesque feature of mod ern life; and doubtless in other ways the tricycle could be made the instru ment of woman's emancipation from , the thraldom of conventionality. out acr.uusiy, wuue pnysiuians, cler gyman and business men are reveling in the new-found liberty of the bicycle, it is only fair that the ladies should have a chance to try the tricycle. Let some bold leader of her sex start the fashion in this country, and female tricycler will soon be us numerous here as they aru in Jngiana. iv. i. Tribune. Excentien Deiiied.

Love, Ceortship and Marriage Ameag the BoTing Arabs. The girls have little to do with select ing their husbands. The men nearly always fix that up among themselves. A bold warrior sees a girl whom he loves, in another tribe. He rides up at night, finds out where she is sleeping, 'dashes up to her tent snatches her up in bis arms, puts her before him on the horse and sweeps away like the wind. If he happens to be caught he is shot If he is not, the tribe from which he 'has stolen the girl pays him a visit in a few days. The dervish, a priest of the tribe,-joins the hands of the young man and the girl, and both tribes join in tho merriment All the bravest men steal their wives, but there are some who do not Their method is a little different Of a calm, moonlight night and a moonlight in the tropics is far more beautiful than here, you may see an Arab sitting before the tent of his in amorata picking a stringed instrument something like our banjo, and singing a song of his own composition. This is his court ship. They are the most mnsical people in the world They talk in poetry, and extemporization is as easy with them as it was with the Scalds of old. The courtship only lasts a week or two. If the girl is obstinate he goes elsewhere and seeks to win another girl by his songs and music. Sometimes the fathers make up the match, but always the girl is the obedient slave. Her re ligion, her people, her national instincts, the traditions of her ancestors, all teach her to be the slave of her husband. The power of life and death is in his hands, and she bows before his opinions with the most implicit obedience. It is only when the fair-faced Frank comes, with his glib talk of woman's higher duties and grander sphere, with his winning manner, with his marked re spect so flattering to a woman's soul, that she leaves her husband, forsakes the teachings of her childhood, gives up home and friends and risks death itself to repose in his arms. They are as fine riders as the men and as fearless. They rido straddle, and can go almost any dis'.ance without fatigue. They are fine shots, and don't know what per sonal fear is. The women of these people are mod est and far more faithful than the wom en of civilized life. Indeed, it is the rarest thing in the world to hear of con jugal infidelity. The women mature at 4levea and twelve, and are old at thirty Jive. When young they are very beau tiful. They have soft, dark skin, black, flowing hair, and soft, languishing eyes. They are passionate in their loves, but after marriage all their affection is centered in their husband. If a woman is found to be untrue to her husband he is instantly killed, together with her lover. But this seldom happen. Sev eral Europeans with the expedition of which I was a member got into trouble on account of native girls, and had to te sent back home to save them from the fury of outraged husbands.

A patent granted this year to Grun zweig and Hartman, in Ludwigshafen on the Bhine, covers a process of mak ing artificial cork by thoroughly incor porating sixty-three parts of ground or powdered cork chips with eighty parts of boiling starch paste.

A French meteorologist has, in the exposed court of his house, two bars of iron planted in the earth, to each of which is fixed a conductor of coated wire, terminating in a telephonic re ceiver.

No other industry in this country has increased as rapidly in the past as sheep and wool growing. To fully un derstand the great rate of increase it is only necessary to remember tho fact that in 1880 there were only about 2J, 000,000 sheep in thu United Mates. We now have nearly 50,000,000. In 1830 the wool clipped amounted to only fi(), 000,000 pounds; to-day it is nearly 300,000,000 pounds an'increase within this period of over two-fold of sheep and five-fold in production of wool.
