"Well, the' is another yarn 1 thought on last night, after you'd ben a-perer-ing of me for stories; it's a i-urions mat ter, and I've hirtVd over t more times! "L"p to Peddle's -he kep' tavern over by the Fall, and I ge nemlly mad out to stop tht-re over iMic.lays lerause that Emt-line. he that'- M -' Tinker now. was hired help there ,..:!. W'U. a? I was savin', up to Peddle's ther w:ts a ho useful of comp'ny one vear. N.t !h real rich- folk, -ueh as itayetl to the (ilen and Crawfoni's. but middl;n' foi'n.s :-s to money: respectable am!

"But -h this Th-odo-hy Wickes. sht was the first evir come into th s. parts, and I tell uou tolk- stared at h-r a sight. They done m r- gawpin' ar her over to Monroe thin ef she was a ghost "he us 'd to set oS' ot" a mornin' be fo.v breakfast, with that there blue gwneotniu' to hr boot-tops, not a miff further, and s.i h Ixot-! coiibl hae a ore 'em, as fur aa thicknes went, the hull of a New, Hampshire winter but they would have been considerable of a pinch forme; her bunnet fetched across with a blue rib bin, and a peeled .-apliif . full an inch throj'zh for a ane: and she'd be atop of Bear Hill and back before leddle'd ring the bell for wakin' hi-, boarders up. I'm bound to say she was a real good-lookin' girl; big eyes, as blue as them gentian-blows we have up here 'long in the fall, and the crinkliest kind of aller-brown i.air, ami real smootti-skinn-d. with the pink a-coiuin and gon' in her f-u-e like everything: ana she did have the best -oundin' voice and larf I ever heerd in my life. "V, lr, 'twa like a pebbly bro)k and a lob'lfnk in.xed in ekal parts, as tht doi-tors say. Folks did speak disre spectful of her nose an' mouth some times, said t one turned up an' t'other was big. but to my mind no-es aint of much account in a face any way. and her's just give a sort of independent look lo her, -ame as the turn-up of a snapper-biosom makes it sa.ssy-lookin': and l don't know as a mouth is too big that has fresh red lips a-openin' to show teeth just like rows of young coru on a cob, white and shinin'. ' thought she was han'some, ami so did some other folks to Peddle's. There was one young feller there, off and on. all that silmmer; he came from down to York, and they said he was as rich as mud. and I guess he was, though he didn't put on no grace on account of it. He come first w:th a couple of girls and an old lady; aunt and cousins to him they was real city folks, rigged oft in silks an' satins an' thin clothes, that left samples onto every bush they come nigh, and tne sort that had to have a man hlp'em over every stone and lift 'emacro-t two-rail fences, and -care the oldest cow out of sight befor-- tney'd stop scr-'amin'. Talk about turn-up noses! I N11 ou. their 'n a" most went over backward when thev see Miss ickes goin' on as she used to. " 'That dreadful girl!' Mis Bell al wavs called her; and madam, shi said: ' "M'harles, dear! who is that ex tremely ob,e-t ona'Ie oung person-" " Old "linker gav.- 'such an exat fashionable drawl a he imitated the -e York lady that I laid down my knittng to laugh. H looked at n'e w ith his keen e es. and fairly grinn.d from ear to ear. V. ell, n w, -he did! I like to have laughed out rmse'f when I heerd her. But 'twas fun to hear Ym all go on. The young feller didn't av a word: he saw theln blue eyes an' crinkly hair an' red lips, now 1 tell ye! and he didn't see nothin' eke. But it kind o.' gne him a fillip nevertheless, to have them scornin' of her: there" m-thin' to a young man -nor to a young woman, for that matter l:k a feet!e"hull-oine opposition. Human natur' is contrary, how ever, you iomt for it: an' th' more thoy faulted hr, why. the more no tic' he took of her he wa- alone, ye see- and if a map's rot any right spunk into him. he feels as though he had a call to defend any woman, old or young, that haint got nobody to look out for "em. But she was the queerest! She never seemed to know the' was a man round, onless 'twa. some hobblin' old feller that nobody else would looi at. or some of them xxr ministers with sick wives that used to come round in a one-horse shay and get took in at half-pnce. Fo sech folks, and to th' old wo men that was widders or maiden ladies, she was as sweet as maple-sugar- a-fetchin m wild-blows to 'em. and leetle bunches of berries and sech. -But she d dn't seem to t are no more for th- younr feller- th-in if they was balsam spiouts .-he'd go over a fence t-'.e spnest I ever see: and cows! why, she was friemis w.th the biggest part of 'em in the lots around. She was awful inde; endent: 'twa'n't mo use for a oung man to step up an' ay: 'Allow me to help vou over them stones,' she'd b- over em before he trnt thrrmirh .h lfln anil inrn round with a 'Thank jou!' cold enough to cream. "Thev didn't like it; 'taint natur for a woman to be so thistly and never need no help from men. 'But she d.dn't care; thev wi all alike to her, apj arieatly. I m'strustod from what I see Mm l.iys that she bad a better opinion of Charley Norton, the feller from Y rk, t'tan of any i f t'others; I'd learned win men t"i lkses w & s 'Well, the aun. a-f cous:ns put b-ck to York. Th. cmldn't star su h a woodsy country, nor su 'it foiks. i guess: but he s'ayed. "I got an ide of what was thf mat ter, for t-incline told h w she h eni oM Mi-s U.'ge a-saym' one even : when the wa'n't 1 u " th m two to the tea table, that Mr Norton wjs a re.t cach. hew:ssori h; atd Miss Theo-do-hv she to sed her s" iny head up, Kmeline s nd. just as sco' niul. and says, says she: "That s the boat reason for refusing h s acquaintam e no decent girl would m.iry a man f r his money.' "Mie got a old boss that had some go, and she rid about the roads fur and near; all alone, mind ye. as bumptious as a bimble-bti. ami h.-'d set by and watch h r jump off, all rosv and fresh, never lettin' nobody 1 ft a hand to help her. but jest as capable as though there wa'n't never a man made. "Now accordin' to my idres this kina of bold independence is not just wom anly, nor accordin' to nature. Well, most things has an end when they get to is. "Twas gettiu' well on into September and the folks was roin' off to milder climes, as the hvmn-look say. He and she and two old creturs from down the country, one on 'em stone-deaf - that was Mis' Blake -an' t'other dead-lame that was Mister Blake wa all that was left. Aboit the tnth. there came, real ontimely, the biggest frost 1 ever see. friz up the road just like iron, and it didn't thaw skerce any in the sun. I came down to Peddle's with au empty stage one day, and lo you! I see e ery one ready to o. them four that 1 spoke about- "M is Theodosliy she'd always ride onto the top of the stage when she could, so now she come out. bundled up in a stout jacket and a little warm bun net, ami I fixed the board for her and up she climbed, the old folks havin' got inside: but she hadn't morv'n settled herself before out come Norton, and up he went by wheel an' foot-? oard, for I'd took the plank away. "She looked jest as cool as the weather, I tell ye; but he didn't care. and I didn't neither, so I driv along. "I had a m-ghty team that day. and a light load. How them horses did travil! W e hed to go through a long piece of woods, about ten mile: they re pretty well cut off now. and there's a railroad alongsid.- the old road for a spell, but then the' wa'n t a house nor hut all the way. e'd got well alonr when I heered son ething like a hound a way off. "twas one, I had reason to suppose, for I knowed there wa-i a hound out on the scout for himself thereabouts, and had been all summer. Well, I didn t pay no great attention to 't. but all of a suddin my leaders give i a shy and faced round, the way I spoke of. they see or smelt somethin' t d dn t. ' and while I was pursuadin' of 'em with my whip thre was a great crash in the bushes i-Mt ahead, anil down into the road, ful' i!t. came two of the biggest black b a I ever see. "You'd ouht to ha seen them hos.-es rare up! The l-ears wan't after u,em though; they'd heered the houad as plain as 1 had. and thev didn't know but what tncy was hunted, so they pulled f M-t for their place o' res'dence, thet I iouud a spell after in a pile of rocks live mile below; for you se I was always foul on bars. and if I see one, I had to go for it whether or no. so after stagin" was over I hunted them two ' out. "But what to do now. pestered me a little. I hadn't no gun. and 'twas tee- totally impo-sime to turn round in tnat tiwr-nir rr.il with n. frmr.hrv: ttrt ru twixt a high bank, and a deep brook that run live feet 1 elow the road. "And them hosses did act! the bears went on nmniu'. but the hosses jumned, an" rared an' sidled, and I see there wasn't but one thing to do, and that wa- to go ahead; so I fell to with the whip. -1 larfed right out out. I never hunted bears that way before: there was the old woman inside a screamin' like three loons; seems she'd stuck her head out in the first on 't and see the bears: and the old man was usin con siderable tongue himself in the w ay of word, and a knockin on the nof with his crutch 'or to call my attent'on. but I couldn't u-nd to fiim. I had the hosses to tune "We went along pretty well. I tell ye them critters wa- about as 'fraid of my w hip as thjy wa- of the bears, and lin'liy they seemed to see that tne beats was runnin' away from 'em. ani thev settled down to a good run, and the bears went lopin' alonr like ealven, up an' down, down an' up, making good time though, for they ran run come to a level, a pretty good "All this ttne tht two behind ire was mortal still, and l had o keep my eye on the bosses so I hadn't looked round, but when I could -top Iaughin' I did. and what do you think? That girl had fainted deau'awav. and he was watchin over her. "Seem.- she see the bears when they come down the bank, and they wa comin' right at us. and it skeert her to death, as you mavsay. "I hadn't no time to say much. jest spoke up; " 'You keep tight holt, young feller, hunt's most up,' ami then I larfed. for after all she wan't nothi.V but a wom an, ami he see it, too. "I tell you it done him good! he see the etarnal princp'e o things wan t played out in her hand anyway, -he'd have to give in now. that a woman . can't always go it alne: scr'ally a, bear-huntin' with a stage an four i hosses! A man's g -od for somethin. and she'd owned it up onmeaningly, as i you may say. ' "Well, itseemeti quite awhile, but it wan t more n fifteen or twentv minutes before theftn bears struck off into a alder ,w.tmn th d h' .-..! th . cui mmura brook just before, and we saw no more ' of 'em; but it seemed as though the ht-sses never would stop in the created world; they got a-goin , and we fetched into Lower Bartlett way ahead of time: but it took the cxtry hour to rub 'em off and cool 'em down, and to get her out o that faint, and rested up a bit. "But the upshot of it alL was that them two come to Peddle's agin next summer, married, if I must say it, jest as sure as you live- though I didn't sjt out to tell a romance, but to show that there are some idees of independence that people sometimes praise in a young person that won't alwavs stand; and when I see him 1 kind of winked mv - eye at him, mild, and sex I. " 'It all came of Dea-huntin,.' And he larfed right out. Now, I dislike a forward girl", but 1 am always sos- oicious of one who affect to be so wdv i ' pendent that she scorns to receive help from anybodv ; and it commonly ends in this sort of way. Rose Ccoke, in Youth's Companion. m Hindoo Derotees. Ttrry Some of these tortures consist in hav ing the tongue bored with a red-hot iron, and this was at one time a self torture so popular that under a clump of ban aa-trces near the temple of the bulT-ijod at C'hinsurah the devotee used to range themselves in a long line "n or !er to get the operation jerformed by a blacksmith, who bore the rtDUtation of not only doim; it effectually, which was well, but also what was" e ;ually iniportant among the poverty-stricken Fakirs cheaply. To walk with parched peas in your shoes was n the days of severe pennance. held to be a most reputable punishment for sins divers and many. But the Hindoo Fakir ,uite outstips the European one. A case is on record and it is doubtless onlv a specimen of many of a Fakir ( a Mohammedan in th s case. I believe), who walked up and down in front of a mos ,ue gaily chanting a hymn, with his sandals nailed to his feet "with iron spikes, which projected above the in step. Others will make the pilgrimage to a shrine, not on foot, but by rolling their bodies alopg the road the whole of the wty. by advancing on their backs pushing themselves along by their heels, on their hands and feet. and by various other e ually incon venient means of proirression. Others will sit motionless in one place until the joints of their limbs get ?o stiff that they cannot bend them, or with hands elencned until the nal s grow through the tlesh. or by holding the arm by means of support in -uch a position that in time it withers. There s really no end to the ingenuity of these devotees in inflicting long and lasting torture- on themselves without pre cipitating death, which would be a pleasure In cmpari-on. and hence not so meritorious in the eyes of the gods. Another method of torture which must be well known to my readers by means of the illustrations of it. whi-h are stock figures in nrssionary publi cations Ls that in which hooks are in sertel in muscle- of the devotees' backs, and then a number o: them are swung in an apparatus not uln.ke the "nierry-;ro-rouml ' seen at KnglL-h fairs, onlv in this eas the sole support bv which the victim 1- siisrwtiiled in mid-air is the hook and cord uiseiW j in hi living tlesh. If a person wishes i to reap the benefits that the gmls are supposetl to shower on the meritorious people who praetitv this species of 'or ture he has no difficulty in procuring a substitute who will submit to it for a small siri', though self-torture is now prohibited by the British authorities. People of tJic World. How Fortune Comes. Years will often elap-e before a doc tor gets any return for the money which his triends invested in obtaining his di ploma. On the other hand, a single , fortunate case my bring patients by the score. About twenty years ago, a young doctor who hail been established three years in London without making an income, lost heart, and determined to r emigrate to Australia. He sold his small hoa-e and furniture, paid his pas sage money, and a week before hi- ship was t sail, went into the country to say I good-bve to his parents. Having to change trains at a junction, waiting on the ulatiorm. when iu a smart livery galloped up to the station, and, calling excitedly to a por ter, handed him a telegraphic message for tran-mission. Jrrotn some remarks , exchanged between the two men. the young 3ocU r understood that the Duke of . a member of the abicet. had fallen dangerouslv ill. and that an eminent physician in London was being , pne,f for. - I he groom added that he had ridden to the hou-es of three local doctors, who had all been absent, and that "her Grace was in a terrible way. ' The young doctor saw his opportunity, and at onee seized it. "I am a medical man." he said to the groom, "and I will go to the hall to offer my assist ance till another doctor arrives." The groom was evidently attached to his master, for he said "jump on un horse, sir, and ride straight down the road for about four miles: you can't miss the hall; any one will tell you where it is." The doctor went, was gratefully received by the Duchess, and happened to be just iu t.me to stop a mi-take "n treatment of the patient, which might have proved fatal if con tinued for a few hour- longer. The Huke was suffivring from typho d fever; and when the em.nent physician ar rived from town he declared that the young doctor's management of the ease bail been perfect. The result of this was that the latter was requested to remain at the hall to take charge of the patient, and his name figured o'n the bulletins which w ere issued during the next fortnight, and were printed in all the daily newspapers of the kingdom. Su -h an advertisement is always the making of a medical man, especially when hia patient recover-, a thj Duke did.
