He muses. “I will see somebody tomorrow.” music. The great soul of day rises with a burst of glory, and the streams, bounding over the rocks or dreaming among the terns, laugh more merrily and seem to be brighter than they were yesterday. Horses neigh near an old log church. and a swelling hymn is borne away on the‘ blossom scented air. The plowboy, sitting near the spring. heeds not the sacred music, but gazes intently down the shady road. He sees some one comingâ€"sees the fluttering of a gaudy ribbonâ€"and is thrilled. A young woman comes up the road, coyly JVwâ€"n v- â€"_ tapping an old mare with a dogwood switch, and. eager lest some one else may perform the endearing oflice, he hastens to help the young woman to alight. He tries to appear unconcern- ed as he takes hold of the bridle rein. but he stumbles awkwardly as he leads the animal toward the horse block. When he has helped her down and has tied the horse, it is his blessed privilege to walk with the girl as iar as the church door._ ~ “What’s Jim a-doin?” he asks as they walk along under the embarrass- ing gaze of a score of men. “Plowed yistidy:- ain’t doln nothin today.” ‘ ‘ ‘ n ‘â€" - _- luuuy. ‘ “Be here today.

I know that if any man was to make fun of you he’d have me to whup.” A number of people have stopped at Uncle John’s house. They sit in the large passageway running between‘ the -u.‘ v two sections of the log building, and the men, who haye not heard the ser- mon, discuss it with the women, who were compelled to hear it from halting start to excited finish. The sun is blazing out in the fields, and the June bugs are buzzing in the yard. It is indeed a day of rest for the young and old, but is it a restful time for the housewife? Does that woman, with flushed face, running from the kitchen to the dining room and then to the springhouse for the crock jar of milk, appear to be resting? Do the young, men and women that are lolling in the ‘ passage realize that they are making a slave of her? Probably not, for she assures them that it is not a bit of trouble, yet when night comesâ€"when the company is goneâ€"she sinks down, almost afraid to wish that Sunday might never come again, yet knowing that it is the day of her heavy bondage. Old labor has been soothed, and young love has been encouraged, but her trials and anxieties have been more than doubled. It is night, and the boy sits in the door, taking of! his shoes. Tomorrow he must go into the hot field, but he does not think of that. His soul is full of a buoyant loveâ€"buoyant, for the girl with the gaudy ribbon has prom- | ised to be his wife. A Bold Reporter. they do not hear and bad work they make of it. An enthusiastic Irishman was once hoaxed by a wag to reporting a speech in parliament .by Edmund Burke on the merits of the potato as an article of diet. The wag reported the speech apparently from his notes. and -_ Ll- AA-) innâ€"nepoi'fer, neéer doubting his good faith, handed in a report. The next morning all London wns laughing over the speech. which made Mr. Burke at- tribute the superior virtue of the Irish people to the fact that. they eat so many potatoes. Another reporter fared- better Who made up a speech from his own imagi- nation. It was a bold act, for the speech was from the throne, George III being the monarch. The ministers were indignant at his impudence and were eager to punish him with the severest penalties of the law. But the good na- tured monarch interposed with a quiet joke at the expense of the minister who had prepared the speech read by the king. “1 hope the man’s punish- ‘ mcnt will be of the mildest sort,” said lKing George, “because I have read hath: and, go far as I can understand either of them, I like the reporter: speech better than my own.” A Bachelor's Comment. “A great German doctor advises men to wed and not die young.” “Yes, but sensible men prefer a quick death to slow torture.” -- Cleveland she suddenly ex- fihewell (fix Lenahmi ’ l UNDERTAKING the grave.
