ran?"
"No, I did think I would fro to the
Catskills for a week and have one good
time 'like folks,' You know I never
really did do anything just for pleasure,
but the stern needs of the coming win
ter I think will change my plans."
"What's the need?"
"A velvet dress."
"You don't mean it. Do you forget
that vou are a graded-school teacher
at a salary of 9.00 a week?"
"I caiiiot help it. I have earned my
money and saved it, and I want one
tliingthat I feel at Ijpnie in when I am
invited to such places as Mrs. Cunning
ham's, for instance.
"All right, of course."
Arc vou going anywhere, Louise?"
'JJo, 1 have changed my plan, too."
"What was it?"
I was invited up to Uncle Edward's
farm to spend the summer, and ex
pected to go until I heard Dr. Lane's
sermon two weeks ago."
"I did not hear him allude to the
fact."
"Not exactly, but do you remember
his asking us if we had ever thought
what was the -er3' best blessing we ever
had, and advi-cd us to go home and
'look over our blessings' and givo God
thanks for them?"
"Yes, I do remember that."
"I had no dillieulty In thinking up
my best blessing. 1 1 is niy good patient
mother, and when I went home and
'looked her over,' it did not take me
long to decide who needed mountain
air and fresh milk the most of any one.
So the upshot of the matter is, mother
goes for three weeks to the farm, and I
am your most gracious and successful
housekeopor at home. Come and take
tea, will you?"
"Perhaps," Kate Morgan answered,
absently, and the two teachers left the
subject and the large school-room to
gether. But the earnest, energetic Kate Mor
gan took a new thought along the
familiar streets. All the school years
of her twenty-one j-ears of life had been,
spent in some connection with that
graded school in tho busy manufac
turing town of Benton. The year be
fore she had been graduated with honor
from tho High Sehool and at once
offered a situation in the intermediate
department, that she had tilled to the
satisfaction of all and her own great
enjoyment.
For so many j'ears she had known
what close economies were necessary in
her plain home that tho younger
children might bo clothed decently and
that she might complete tho school
course. She had seen her father count
out his quarterly salary as a clerk and
sigh over its meagrcness again and
again. She had seen the lines in her
mother's patient face deepen over the
problem of turned garments and doing
without things. No wonder her salary
had seemed to her almost a fortune,
and its possibililcs a little intoxicating.
She w:is young, too, and pretty, with
musical gifts that made her welcome
everywhere. But she was a child of
"the Kingdom," too, and every day
prayed: "Seareh me. O God, of Thy
self," and to such tho Spirit is the
leader.
It was late when she reached home,
and she was still busy in "looking over"
her mother, and thinking that sue had
never accn her so pale and worn, when
her father entered with a sigh over tho
warm day, and sank down in his chair
quite exhausted. Hi3 daughter won
dered that site had not noticed before
how fast he w:is growing old. The
three young children came in and they
sat down to the plain supper. Kate
wished now she had bought a quart of
berries in the morning, instead of that
fashion niaga.ine, when she saw how
little appetite her father had, aud how
tho sickly boy Willis left his bread un
eaten. Willis was thirteen. Herbert
ten, and little Alice five years of ae.
Threo others were waiting up in "Goii's
acre" on the hill.
That night up in her own room Kate
went through a rapid mental calcula
tion, and with pencil and paper laid tho
result plainly before her eyes, after this
fashion:
Kate Morgan Dr.
To twelve yds. black velvet at $4.00 per
yard $13 00
To trimmings and making 10 00
Money lost fTks 00
Kate Morsr-in Cr.
To cash in hand $58 00
Saved
But it kept her awake that "night, and
it was several days before her busy
brain gave her even a beginning of
things, and how it should be saved.
But each day she prayed: "Teach me,
O God, of Thee, in this, as in all
things."
One morning at breakfast, she asked,
"Father, when do jou have jour va
cation this year?"
"The second and third weeks of Au
gust;" was the reply, "but I shall
probabVy straighten up Jay's books for
him in the time a little extra pay."
That afternoon found Kate walking
up to the door of Deacon Hollis' pleas
ant farmhouse. She found the Deacon
and his wife sitting in their shaded
porch, and met a hearty welcome.
.Their own three daughters'were settled
in homes of their own, and the old peo
ple enjoyed a call from Kate, and her
singing, greatlv. She had to give them
kock ot Ages now as soon as she recov
ered breath. It was sometime before
she could get to business. Then she
asked:
"Deacon Hollis, have you disposed of
your two seated rockaway, yet?"
"No."
"You don't use it?"
"Not often. Wife and I have agreed
to ride on the same seat, so the little
carriage answers us."
Then Kate's plan came out. She
wanted to hire the Deacon's staid horse
Koxy, and the roomy rockaway, and
tako her father and mother, and the
children, with herself, on a ride of tes
days or so out in the country.
"Bnt where are you going?" asked
Mrs. Hollis, whose kind heart was in
terested at once. "Your mother does
look real pcakedy," she said.
My plan is to go up to Lake George,
see that, and spend one night there
with friends that have visited us two or
three times." Then, about thirty-ftv
miles farther, in among the mountains.)
on a stage road, lives an old aunt and'
unci of father's, who write us about
once a year, and always urge us so
heartily to come and visit. Now is that
too far?"
The Deacon reckoned the miles and
said, "Roxy could easily do it in four
days, and threo back" he added; "she's
a masterful hand to know when her
head is turned homeward."
It was all settled at last. The Dea
con liked to put a generous bill in tho
collection for foreign missions, and he
liked a good bargain right well, and it
did come a little hard to offer Boxy and
the rockaway for "a dollar a day and
her keep," but generosity compelled,
and he never regretted it.
That evening Kate uufolded her plan
at home. Of the surprise, the objec
tions, the slow, because fearful, assent
of tho stay-atrhomo elders, and the de
light of the children we need not stop
to speak.
Suffice it, that tho second week of
August proved as bright and bland as
could be desired, and at half-past live
Koxv and the carriage were in waiting
at the door of the Morgan homo. Then
it took the family just one hour to pack
in the belongings neee-sary for the trip.
Not the clothes - they ha'd each on a
good stout suit, aud beside that carried
one poorer to wear in the woods. Hut
there was a small boiled ham aud three
loaves of wheat bread, aud a pail of ginger-snaps
and a package of cheese, a bag
with salt and pepper for tho eggs they
should buy, and tea and coll'ee and
sugar, and pain-killer, and liniment,
and a few other such motherly pro
visions. "Husband, you haven't mado a mis
take in tho box, have you? That does
not look just like the one I put the
J sugar and things in."
It was opened and found to contain
hard soap and silver polish, and they
all enjoyed the laugh, aud as for Kate,
one look in her father's face was pay
ment enough for all her trouble.
At last they were off iu tho early
glory of the morniug, through the half
awakened streets, down over the bridge
near the noisy factories, and then out
and up into the fair countryside, past
beautiful farm-houses with their (lowers
and fruit orchards, through bits of
woods where birds were chirping and
squirrels racing, by little singing brooks
and miniature falls, until at eleven
o'clock they had como tifteen miles and
were all agreed that a convenient wood
with large Hat stones was just the place
for a dining room; and here they
camped out. Roxy was unharnessed, a
little lire built by tho brook, and over it
they boiled somo potatoes and eggs,
and tea for two. They spread a cloth
on a rock, and on it a toad perched
himself as if quite at home. After
dinner papa and the boys went explor
ing, while mamma and Alice took a
nap in a hammock, and Kate ambi
tiously sketched a tiny waterfall.
Toward night they drove five miles
farther and there put up at a small
country inn, where they found good
beds aud small bills. Tho next day
they had three hours at Lake George
and time to reach their friends' cordial
welcome.
But the third day they really had an
adventure. A thunder storm overtook
them on the lonely mountain road, and
they were obliged" to seek shelter in a
barn, and finally to spend the night
there, finding beds in hay or hammock
or carriage as they best could, and
thankful when morning gave them a
bright sun again and chance to go on.
And that babbath among the Adiron
dacks, in its deep quiet, its purple haze,
its majesty of rock and tree will any
of them ever forget it? And every hour
of that piny, aromatic air seemed a
tonic to the worn father and mother,
tho sickly Willis, and to Kate herself it
brought such a sense of majesty and of
inexpressible rest, asgavo to hor prayer
a new and richer meaning.
But all vacations have their end, and
Wednesday morning fouudthe Morgan
family turned with face homeward.
True to the character given her. Boxy
encouraged no loitering by the way
this time, and before sunset of Friday
was meditating over the oats in her own
stable.
Tve gained ten pounds, I do be
lieve," Kate heard her father telling a
noigjubor. "and I feel like a new man."
'I don't believe I have enjoyed get
ting up in the morning and goiug into
my kitchen iu live years before," Mrs.
Morgan said, the next morning as she
moulded her bread into loaves. "How
much good a little change doe3 do one,
and 1 have got such a help, too, on my
rag carpet from AuntMartha ten balls
all cut and sewed. Well, Kate, you
have given us all pleasure enough to
satisfy any daughter "
And Kate was more than satisfied,
even when she wore a plain cashmero
for best, all winter.
"You went away, after all," her
friend Louise said, with a smile.
"Yes, after I had taken jour advice
and 'looked over mother,' and father,
too, and counted them both as my best
blessings." Howe Benninq, in Chicago

An Arkansas Divorce Case.
Several days ago a young negro aud
his wife appeared before Simon Patter
son, a black knight of the rural Arkan

"What's the trouble twixt yer?"
asked old Simon.
"I kain't lib wid her an' she kain't

"Why kain't yer?"
"Causo she ain't eddycated up ter

Didn't Want to Die There.
One day during the noted Kentucky
campaign, and while the Confederate
army was passing through Allen
County, General Breckenridge,
preaching General Hindman. said:
ap-
"We are only a short distance now
from Bear Waller and are not very far
from Jimtoxcn."
The solemnity of his manner attracted
Hindman's serious attention, and, re
garding Breckenridge with a long look
of inquiry, he asked:
"But, General, why does our near
ness to those places so concern you?"
"Well, you sec," Breckenridge re-
Elied, ''I fear it will be my fate to be
illed in an action at Jimtown or Bear
Waller. Bear Waller," he repeated."

population yesterday, and the flock was
watched with intense interest until it
disappeared in the distance.
"Now, that's what I call a genuine
curiosity," said an old resident "That's
the first flock of pigeons I've seen in
ten years in these parts, aad yet I can
remember when the3r came here by the
thousands every spring and fall. They
used to nest in our woods in the spring,
and came back again every other fall to
feed on the beech nuts." They came
evcrj' two years because they knew that
the beech trees were barren even' other
year, and they never made a mistake in
the year, either.
'If it hadn't been for wild pigeons
some of the richest men in this county
aud in neighboring counties would have
been poor to-day that is, if they had
stayed where they were. We used to
have some big pigeon years, but the
season of 1S37 beat any two we ever
had. Lumbering was the only business
in this part of the country then, as that
and tanning are now. The lumber was
rafted down to the Delaware, and then
to Philadelphia and other markets. In
lb':7 times were bad. That was the
year of tho great panic. Lumber
couldn't be sold for what it cost to get
it to market, and for what w:ls sold it
was hard to get pa3. To make matters
worse, all crops failed in this region
that season. The fall opened with pros
pects for starvation for the hundreds of
fteople who depended for support on tho
umber business. Employers had no
money to pay workmen, and there was
no way to obtain the necessaries of life.
"It happened that in 1837 was the
beech-nut -ear, and nobody remem
bered when the nuts had been so plenty
for many years. That was the salva
tion of the region. People were begin

"There was a splendid rafting freshet
in the Delaware at the time, but although
there were many rafts ready to run, it
isn't likely one would have been started
down the river if it hadn't been for the
wild pigeons. Old raft men and others
agreed to run these rafts to Philadelphia
free of charge to the owners if thev
would grant them the privilege of load-J
mg the lumber with pigeons. Ihe oner
was gladly accepted, and every raft was
run heavily freighted with pigeons.
Some of the rafts were stopped at differ
ent points along the river, where, hard
as the times were, profitable markets
were found for the birds. Others ran
through to Philadelphia direct, where
the pigeons were quickly sold at good
prices. The freshet kept up so well
that some speculators made several
trips, clearing as high as 1,000 a trip.
Before the pigeons left the beeches,
which w:is not for weeks, more money
was brought back to the region from
their sale than was received from all the
lumber that wer,t to market. Men who,
willi their families, had been on the
verge of starvation, were made com
paratively rich almost in a day, and the
foundations of big fortunes were laid.
One of the biggest grocery establish
ments, and one of the wealthiest leather
firms in New York City to-daj, owe
their existence to the big pigeon 3ear of

started in business by their fathers, who
made the money 03' rafting wild pigeons
down the river in that memorable fall.
"Speaking of beech nuts aud specula
tion, another big year for nuts was
18:20, and that year a man named Con
n3' went into a speculation that had
quite a different result from the one in
wild pigeons that followed. In those
davs people were iu the habit of letting
their pigs run in the woods and fatten
on the nuts. Conroy conceived the idea
of fastening hogs in this w:i3' by the
wholesale, and then gathering "them up
and driving them to market. He calcu
lated that he could easily make a profit
of at least five dollars on every hog thus
fattened. He scoured the .county and
bought up at least a thousand and turned
them into the beeches. TI1C3' got along
liuely: but a week or so before he in
tended to collect his hogs and drive
them to market the weather turned ter
ribly cold and a foot of snow fell. When
he went into the woods to get his hogs
he found them .scattered about dead, in
groups of a dozen or so, where they had
huddled together to keep warm. A few
only survived the cold, and they ran
wild. Descendants of theirs lived in
the woods for 3-0:1 rs, and were so wild

Smuggling Liquor Into Maine.
About the hardest subject, however,
the Government officials ever had to
deal with in this Eastern section was an
Indian smuggler of the Passamaquoddv'
tribe. Lewey was his name, and he was
the son of a former chief of the tribe.
He was an uncommonly powerful man,
brave as a lion and cunning as a fox.
He had never been caught in smuggling,
and had over and over again taken a
big oath that a white man should never
catch him, as he would shoot him. A
year or so ago, while Lcwo3' was cross
ing Lewey's Lake, as it is called, an
officer laid in wait for him near Prince
ton, where he was to land. As Lewey
approached the shore, the ollicer
emerged from his concealment, and,
pointing a revolver at the Indian, com
manded him to surrender. But Lewey
was too quick for the officer, Iustantly
dropping his paddle, he seized a shot
gun he had by his side aud covered the
officer so triumphantly that he was
forced to retreat, and thus Lewey
escaped. Shortly after this another
officer appeared at Princeton, a cool,
resolute, self-possessed man. who had
determiued upon taking Lewey into
custody. Word w:is sent to the Indian
that a New York gentleman was stop
ping at the hotel who proposed enjoying
himself for a few days iu fishing, and
would like to employ Lewey as a guide.
The bait took, and Lewev, desirous of
making a few dollars, anil not suspect
ing any wrong to himself, immediately
went to the hotel, where he was shown
the officer's room, and, when he stepped
inside, the olliuer, with the aid of a live
shooter, aud before the Indian could
realize his situation, had Lewey's mus
cular wrists ornamented with a heavy
pair of bracelets, and he w:is a
prisoner.
That evening the officer, while out
side the hotel, saw the window of the
room where Leve3' wjis confined raised,
aud, at the next moment, Lewev had his
head out and was calculating the dis
tance to the ground, with a view of
jumping out. But the peril of jumping
from a two-story window with a pair of
handcuffs on was a risk too great for
even so desperate a man as Lewev, anil
he gave it up, aud closed the window.
The office, still on the watch, next saw
the kerosene light in Lewey's room
dim and theu suddenly tfash and
brighten; then it would become almost
invisible again, and theu it would flash
and shine again. This proceeding was
something that the officer could not.
understand, and so he started for his
room, where the mystery was explained.
It appears that Lewey had been heating
his handcuffs in the blaze of the kero
sene light, and then trying to wrench
and twist them asunder. It was a
martyrdom for liberty that but few
would have attempted, for Lewey'
wrists were badly burned and laceratod
by his efforts to part his manacles. Ou
account of his great muscular strength
it is highly probable that he would have
parted the irons had not the officer gone
to his room. Lewev was tcrribby wroth
at being discovered, but he made the
best of it, and, without giving the offi
cer any further trouble, he was taken
to Portland, where, after an examina
tion, he was fined and imprisoned.
ince his release, ho has never, so far as
is known, attempted to smuggle. He
had been cowed so completely that he
was terrified.
From C'ampobello, liquors are smug
gled into East port, Lubec, and along
shore as far as Portland. Small coast
ing vessels and boats are emplo3ed b
smugglers. Rags, wool, copper ami
brass are smuggled in considerable
quantities on the coast. Thousauds of
dollars' worth of these articles are
smuggled yearh. The are first shipped
to Grand Mcnanand C'ampobello, where

are then quietly reshipped in vessels to

Visiting Congressmen.
"I suspect that Governor Long will
develop iuto a visit," observed a fellow
reporter the other da3'. Now this re
mark suggests an interesting subject
and one not quite worn out, so perhaps
It would bo well to let it lead me on.
It must be introduced to begin with, by
saying that all Congressmen who are
worth ain'tliing have their own particu
lar reputation in the reporters' galler
ies; and, as a rule, these reputations are
just. I don't know a fairer estimate of
public men and public measures than
the average opinion of the responsible
correspondents stationed here. The
Congressional visitor is a well-defined
class. Generally speaking he is an old
member, but there are exceptions, for,
as the. true poet is born not made, and
lisps iu numbers for the numbers came,
so the Keal visitor ihtentively begins his
rounds at once. He is of a sociable and
affable disposition aud of an inquiring
turn of mind. His neighbors interest
him, and the maehinen' of Government
is also a source of amusement. Ilo
finds himself thrown into familiar con
tact with .successful men, representing
every nook and corner of the land ami
of opinion. The "House" soon be
comes a club, and, as he is a dutiable

A Good Story About Lobsters.
"Lobsters is cur'us critters," snid an
old man whose weather-beaten face,
half concealed 13' an unkempt gra3
beard aud oilskin suit, stamped him a';
a fisherman, at the Eastern Station tfie
other day. "They're just as sensitive
as n bile, and I eal'lute they know an
almighty sight Folks say as how
lobsters is treacherous, but I alius found
if you treated 'em half as well as yon
would a dog they'd reciperate every
time. If you think you can pick a
lobster up by the tail and drive a spike
with him -ou make; a big mistake, and
don't you forget it. A lobster is a hu
merus cuss, too, and tie can appreciate a
joke quicker' n two-thirds of the men.
I reckerlect a ease that proved this to
me once. I took some Boston chaps
out with me when I went to look nfter
my traps one d:i3-, and them fellers kept
teilin' funny stories alt the wa3-. When
we was comin' back one of 'cm told a
stor3 the'other fellers called a chestnut.
There wasn't no pin't to it and nobod3
laughed, but, just as true as I'm stand
in' here, every one of them lobsters
in the bottom of the boat turned over
on their backs and acted sort of nervous
like. They had all been quiet aud
peaceful afore, aud I know they saw
there w'ant no fun in the story. An' I
tell you boys, lobsters can be learn' t a
good many things: I was brought up
among 'era aud I know somcthin' of
their natur'. Just look at this." The
old man picked up a big live one from
a barrel that was awaiting transporta

rubbed its tail brisklv with his other
hand. The fish slowly drew in its ugly !
looking claws and subsided into perfect
quiet, exhibiting no more signs of life
than if it had been boiled. "There,"

Traininu: Horses.
The writer began the interview 03
saving: "Professor, what the public
:,eems to want to know is the secret
you possess u hich makes you so com
pieteby the master of the horse."
I am glatl 3-011 asked me that ques
tion, as it is asked mo a great many
times a day, and, ot course, I can not
be 2pected to answer, all tho letters
that are sent to me. If vou will kindly
answer it for me in the Herald you will
sa e me a great deal of annoyance.
There is no secret about tho business at
all. I possess no secrets. lam willing
that all should know just how I work,
and without wishing to boast or appear
vain, I wish all who have to do with
horses would woric as I do. It would
be better for tho horses and better in
the end for us. Kindness, patience and
consideration are the elements of suc
cess." "I have seen it claimed by men
familiar with the horse that it is abso
lutely necessary to use the whip fre
quently iu order to get the horse to do
auything."
'That is not true. I use the whip
very little, aud principally to liven the
horses and make them quicker. The
first thing to be done is to gain tho
horse's confidence. The horse must
know that you mean to treat him right,
and that you do. He knows what is
right with very little instruction. Ho
understands, too, how far punishment
is deserved, and when it is overdone.
Some people treat a horse as if it were
Ids nature to be ugly. Now the horse
is very rarely ugly by nature, and when
he balks, kicks or runs away he does it
in I he belief that he is defending him
self. The most important thing is to
get the horse to understand what you
want him to do. Sometimes ho may do
what is desired, but it may be simply
b' chance, and the next time the horso
is asked to do the same thing and fails,
perhaps ttie whip is applied to over
come his supposed obstinac3. That is
nit right. Be sure tic knows what it is

Harvesting Onions.
Onions should be gathered as soon as
they are fit for harvesting, for if they
are not they are not apt to keep so well
and will not look so bright, The time
for harvesting is when most of the tops
are dead. The pulling should bo ca re
fill 1' done and all theliandling should
bo done with care. After pulling
spread them out upon the ground and
let them Ia3' for a few diu-s. Then, if
the weather is good, put them in pile1
of three or four bushels, and let them
stand until all the tops are dead.
Should there be rain in the meantime,
spread out the heaps, and when dn re
pile. Tho object of this piling is to
cause them to sweat, and thev arc then
less liable to do so after being housed.
They should never be housed until thev
arc thoroughly dr3. "One-half of the
secret of their keeping well," says a
grower, "is in carting them when per
fectly dry." When they aro to be
marketed before winter comes, they
may be kept in any dry airy place.
But if they are to be kept through the
winter, they should be placed on a
tight lloor, on which scantling has been
placed, on which narrow boards should
be laid with spaces between them and
the sides of the building to give free
circulation of air, and when freezing
weather comes, place around them
onion tops, hay or corn stalks. If they
should get frozen never disturb tiiem
until they thaw. The crop yields from
two hundred to eight hundred bushels
to the acre. We-iUrn liural.

water to flow through a passage one
