when playing with the boys- oue sroiy the farmers story seen you sitting on the fence sir writ ing in the little book i thought perhaps yon might be writing poetry a good many folks come down here of a summer and make poetry about the sheep and the moon peggy reads em out to me in the paper and the stories too sir do yon write stories 1 yes well thats a gift if i had it i think i could make one about what has happened to me peggy says it could be done now its all plain sailing nothing ont of the common tat i wasnt always a well- todo old farmer once i was a farmers boy a hand with nothing of my own but a stout heart and strong limbs and good health- manys the night when the stars were in the sky i used to go out to the great pasture where the sheep browsed all day and sit and think thoughts i had qo words for and make beautiful pictures for myself in my mind not fine ones sir this is what i used to see the oftenest a little cottage with a wide fireplace sach as they had in my day a dresser with a row of delf upon it four chairs and a table of white pine when i had these i wua to marry peggy grey but when i should have them and she her white wedding gown and the house linen neither of us knew sbe put her sixpence into a red earthen savingsbank aad i kept mine in an old glove for two years we had been waiting and hoping and were not much nearer than at first sometimes i felt downheart ed sometimes her letters were a bit sad and just aal sat in the meadow i knew she sat before her kitchen fire in the house where she livedo at service 8imple folks we were but we had hearts and felt per haps as deeply as greater folks might 5y master the farmer was a close man he squeezed as much work out of his hands as possible but it was a steady place and he paid all he promised soi stayed never thinking what trouble stay ing would bring me to trouble that never would have come bat for mark holier a gooifornothing fellow he was a disgrace to the rest of us and he cheated the master and left his work undone so after hours master kept me at his stint and it being indoor work i kept at it all night the old man liked that and set me a new tak every night all the better for me i thought he would pay me extra and what was weariness to me if it brought me near er my peggy so i counted the hours work as so many ahfllings but when saturday night came he gave me just my weeks work master said i ive worked over hours etery night you forgot that i hire you by the week ha said ill give no more than one weeks wages so if jou dont like it there are plenty of strong lads to be had if you are growing lazy then he turned his hack on me and mark laughed that angered me and words fell from my lipe we had a quar rel master and i and i called him a nig gardly old raecl and with that he dis missed me from his service at dawn you go he said youve worked today and have a right to your bed at night but at dawn you go i marched out of the room with words i never should have used and up to my garret and threw myself on my bed but i did not mean to stay to be turned oat at midnight i rose softly made up my bundle and climbed out of a window i out my hands with the glass of a broken pane and the blood dropped down upon mj clothes but i was too angry to feel tbe pain and i bound np my wound with a handkerohief then i trudged on men- ing to look for work next day bo i did bat found none then tbe thought struck me to make ray way to and see peggy it would be a oomfort to me what ever cams so i turned my steps in that direction and kept on uniil night fell then faint and weary i lay down under some bushes and fell asleep j out of that sleep i was aroused by a j shout and the clutch ef strong hands men stood around me one shouted my name they held ine fast and bound me istrutfledbut it was no use num bers were against my single strength what are yon bobbers ive noth ing worth the taking i said at last and when standing still i saw faces i knew about rae those of tho farm hands at my old masters you know well what we want jack marlorae said one if he did speak an illword atiast he was a good man iuthe main and yon worked forfeim thrfee yers you might have answered him as you liked but to try to murder him was too horrible we didnt think it of you jack we didnt think it mudeed iicried is our master murdered why lay it to me i swear i never hurt him if hes not quite dead ifs none of your faolt cried another man dont perjure yourself look at the blood on your clothes the blood from my hand was in blots all over my vest i felt my heart turn sick when i took heed of it master will clear me i said he says it was you said one of the men at least he nodded yes when we asked him if you did it then old master was not right in his mind i said hed never be against me after that i heard the whole master had paid the men and dismissed mark he had only said all right im tired of work and had eaten breakfast there and left in sighof all but i was gone and when they iound that master who was always up at cockcrow did not raise at nine they opened his door and found him on the floor senseless they thought dead at first he had been robbed of bis pocket- book a watch and an oldfashioned pin he always wore in his neckerchief the painted head of a lady set around wih what he used to tell us were pesxlaa ornament older than his grandfather they found nothing about me of course but the quarrel and my cut hand made the case hard against me ter dying as they thought him able to speak at odd times and said that to the best of his belief i was bis assail ant it was dark to be sore but in the struggle he felt that the ineji wore a cap and i was the only hand who had anything but a straw hat besides he came from the inner passage and down the stairs and did not break in through the door or win dow as a burglar would have done and l was the only missing member of the house hold so i lay in prison with t awful charge upon me until they knew whether master would live or die and my greatest grief was for peggy keep it from her i begged them until she must know it and they were kind and did if and her letters were sent to me in prison it was a weary time and the one drop of comfort in it came with those letters i had had five from her when at the end of one came this deab jicx i never hid anything from you and not to boast of my conquests a thing id never do bnt just to let you know that i keep no secrete to myself i must tell you what has happened our master has hired a man a lazy fellow that i disliked at first sight mark hulker by name and what should he do but take a notion to me or pretended to do so trying his best to sit up with me after hours and following me about wherever i go of a holiday then he tries to make me like him by telling me bow rich he is four hundred dollars he has laid by he says and has a gold watch like a gentle man the other sunday i was dressed for church and up he walks why peggy says he youve no pin to your oollar said i i cant afford money for finery then says he now how lucky it is that i have one to give you and he pulls a pin from his pocket jack i couldnt help looking at it it was a ladys portrait with hair all white though she was so young like an old womans he said it was powdered as they did in oldtimes and a pink dress and all about tiny btonos and nohgser than a silver quarter altogether howhe came by such a thing goodness knows but of coarse i wouldnt have it says he now do take it peggy i want to keep company with you and now you know the truth so says i i want neither your com pany nor your presents and please re member that hereafter it was rough i know but i hate him so and i was none too rude for he both ers me yet as much is ever though you know if ne were ever so good and handsome i am always your own peggy and i think of no one else psoor gsrr when i read that you could have knocked me down with a feather the pin was the one the old fanner had lost i knew and it was mark who was the thief and who had toed to mustier him i sent for the lawyer who was to take my side and who had all along believed me innocent i gave him the letter its old masters pin 1 said what shall i do sir and he said yon can do nothing my poor fellow hut wait and hone i have a due now and ill follow it then he went away and afterward i heard what he did he went down to the place when peggy lived and took her out of danger oi eavesdroppers and told her au that had happened the brave girl trembled and wept tot aha spoke out hes innoosoi the said td no jbelieve him guilty if an angel told m be was v and the lawyer said out of his heart though she was but a serving lass hes worthy of youypeggy grey i so believe and that is saying a good deal i then he asked her about the pin and the two bad a long talk it ended in peggy bursting into tears and promising to do anything and everything be asked if he would but tell me why she did it he told me afterward and it was hard work for little peggy with her honest heart bless her she turned herself around and made a different creature oi herself and she tried to make mark hulker think that she had been coquetting all the while ind oh how the cried when she told me that the let him kiss her and put his arm about her waist but she gained tier end by it one night my good old lawyer and two other men were shut up in a pantry with peggys master and sbe dressed in her best and waiting for mark hulker that night she had promised mark to take his pin and if he proved he had this money he bragged of to njomise to marry him and mark came as merry as could be and a little the worse of liquor now lass said be a promise is a promise theres the money to count and the watch to look at and the pin to wear now youtl have me v and just then the pantry door opened behind him and a hand came down on his shoulder well have you my fine fellow said a voice and there and then they arrested him for the money and the watch and the pin were old masters and one who knew his son james was there with the detec tives he gave up all hope from that minute and co everything how he bad seen me climb out of the window and so dressed in clothes like min and made his plans to throw suspicion upon me my peggy brought me the good news first brought it into my cell and threw herself weeping into my arms crying out youre free darling free and clear thank heaven they did not hang mark for master after a while got better and in the end quite well but they punished him for the robbery andorsomething he had done of id before ever he came to the masters and as for the old man when he was well he was so sorry for the charge he had made against me th ha had honestly believed me guilty as t weh knew that he made me the present f a little farm and stocked it for me and the wife gave peggy her outfit and here we are as happy as the sheep in the meadow yonder or the bees in the- hive hard by and when we hear talk of books and plays peggy says to me jack it they only knew our story theyd make one of it im very sure and as they say youre a writer why i tell itfto you sir 1 an important discovery many of our readers have asked us ques tions concerning the mysteries of the chinese laundry to all of which we have boon compelled to give unsatisfactory ans wers for the simple reason that we were not acquainted with the secret working of those establishments our friend toot stflingt has enlightened oa upon one of the secrete of the laundry in the following answer to a correspondent b lb c topeka ky what do chinamen use to give gloss to the shirts they wash v we have taken pains to find out exactly what they do use we inter viewed a chinaman who after some per suasion divulged the secret and we made him write it down for us so that there could be no mistake you first waahtbe shirt and dry it then yon put some on it- thats what he called it but as we cant pronoosoe it without stuttering we give it in his own handwriting then the shirt should be ironed if these directions are carefully carried ont so the chinaman assures us you will make a success of the business will it destroy revenue p the canada ctiaa replying to the as sertion that a refusal to issue liquor lioen- ses would seriously impair tbe municipal revenues shows that as a matter of fact the municipalities of ontario in the year 18823 received 2s48799 from licenses there were issued during that year 4104 tavern and shop licensee taking the average business doneij each as only f 13 a day and awmming that no liquor was old on sundays the us a day for 810 selling days would abstract from the pock- eta oi the peopleof this proinoe the sum of h536688000 this ertimaf is moder ate falling really somewhat short of on

dont expect any reward 1 dont expect anybody to think any the better of you for the good yon do when you give away your secondbeat drea to some poor woman dont be disappointed if she looks displeased because you did not give her your best one it is an exploded fallacy to expect poor people to be grate ful no matter if you do get criticised go straight ahead keep things correct be tween god and your own oonacieiioa and when you have elected to do right and stick to that decision eu have gone a long step toward tbe peace which make glad the heart you must expect trials you must be ready for tribulations you win meet with just si many afflictions as your neighbor who baa no regard for right and who cheat everybody be deals with maybe you will aak why and think it is rather a hard thing but it is so and grumbling will not help it the rain falls on the inat and on the un just the rmnsellesvwho ruins thesonj and the body of of bia victim willrsobably prosper just aa well as you do and you have got to see nim prosper and wonder why it is just as we all wonder about such things but you cannot solve tbe problem in doing right we must lava rewards out of the question or we shall soon get aground somewhere in gods good time we uiieve that things will be squared up and settled as they should be and let that be enough when you are satisfied that a thing is right do it and take the oonsequenoea not always will theybe pleasant not always will they be what you have ex pected you will want courage and backbone you may have to make flr if so make them like a man put selnehnea out of

and think bow it would be if you were a woman and sbe were a man before you tell her that you have got to go down town and cant bother try and fancy bow ou would feel if you were a woman and had nerves m hoopskirta and ruffles and corsets and headache and didnt know how to swing an axe and there was the fire to kindle and nothing to do it with but an old naurs- paper and a stick of cord wood and a square section of pineboard bring it right borne to your soul and act accordingly and if you are a woman and tbe part- ner of yonf bosom wants yon to sew op buttons when your bands are in tbe oread and tbe baby ia crying to be droned put it right home to yourself and remember that a man without button is at the mercy of the cold world and then do as you would like to be done by in little things which come to aa every moment of our uvea use the greatest diffi culty we can bear a great wrench but a thousand hourly pinpricks drive us frantic it iaeesier to do right in one nianifioant
