MY NEIGHBOR, MR. JONES. BY. IatKA J. ARTEB.

To use expressive language, I was "mad

as a wet hen." That ugly, lank, rat dog had been in toe yard again, and scratched

up a beautiful tea rose which I had just taken oat of the pot that morning. It was foil of buds, and even had one fragrant rose on it, and now it lay there, its leaves drooping and its tender roots exposed to the hot son. I was washing dishes when 1 made the discovery, artd the sight of the tormenting dog, who was now trying his best to chase nn obdurate rat ont of the wood-pile, was like touching a torch to the powder of my wrath. With my usual hastiness, without Sot a moment thinking of consequences, I gathered up a cup of hot water net exactly scalding, but very nearly so and threw its contents on the back of the ansuspecting canine. With a hideous howl, he dashed through a hole in the high board fence, and rushed into my new neighbor's kitchen. I was so angry, I really hoped Mrs. Jones would come ont and quarrel with me. Now I wasn't acquainted with Mrs. Jones, but I knew her name, because I had seen it on her door-plate, and her dog was such a torment to me that I felt belligerent toward the owner. "Poor Prince!" I heard her say, in a gentle, pitying tone, as the dog ran yelping to her. "How cruel! No woman with tree womanly feeling would scald a dog," said a heavy masculine voice, and upon hearing the rebuke, my wrath boiled over. "Keep your old dog at home then, and don't let him run around scratching up other folks' flowers," I said spitefully. I 'gave my implement of war the tin cup a martial nourish, and rather hoped Mr.

be tempted to reply in rm-

langnage, that I might have

any married brother force him to apologize. As I stood casting defiant glances toward the innocent board fence which separated me from my unseen foes, a handsome, smiling face suddenly appeared above it, and Mr. Jones said apologetically: "lam very sorry indeed, if my dog has spoiled your flowers. Miss Stuart, and I hope yon will allow me to replace your pretty rose-tree with another," glancing, as he spoke, toward my poor, dying rosebush. This was go different from what I had wished or expected, that I-was Tilled with consternation, and felt my cheeks growing red with shame, as Mr. J ones calmly scrutinised me. I murmured confusedly something about lowing my flowers so much that when anything spoiled them I felt it a personal pain and grievance, but that it was not - necessary for him to replace my poor little favorite. Evidently pitying my confusion, Mr. Jones in a few more words promised that Ins dog should no longer trouble me, and then disappeared as suddenly as he had come, behind the fence. X retreated hastily info the kitchen, feeling myself defeated in a contest which I had solicited. Mother, who was also in the kitchen, and had been a dismayed listener to all that had been said, immediately began to lecture me. "Aren't you ashamed of .yourself, Lucy? I wonder if you newer will learn to control jour hasty temper? I know Mr. and Mrs.

Jones most think you extremely unladylike.. I hare no doubt they wished they had chosen a residence in some other part of the city, if they are to judge all their new neighbors by the specimen they have seen." "Well, mother, I just couldn't help it. That hateful dog gnawed my wax-honeysuckle yesterday, till I am afraid it will die, and the day before he chewed np half of my Japanese ivy, as, it swung to and fro in the basket."

"Welt, he is nothing bat s pappy, and puppies will be playful." "Who is a puppy, Mr. Jones or the jdogt" I said maliciously. "TRta'ibe impertinent, Lucy. You know very well what I mean. And you need not flatter yourself that any amount of- flippant talk hereafter will erase the opinion Mr. and Mrs. Jones have already formed of you.' Mamma spoke so severely, and my own conscience berated me so sounifly, that I was glad to hang up my dish-pan and escape from farther rebuke, by rushing off to sweep the parlor, The next day the door-bell rang quite early, and upon answering it I found a man with a lovely tea-rote bush in full blossom.. He sat the pot down on the portico, and hurried off before I could question him. I picked up my treasure, to inhale its sweet fragrance, when I found a note tied to its branches. "Mr. Jones presents his compliments to . Miss Stuart, and hopes this rose-tree may be like the one destroyed. The offending dog has been banished to the country, and although the spring has only fairly begun, Miss Stuart may congratulate herself that the 'dog days are over." "How very witty he would like to be," I sneered, but 1 half laughed in spite of myself, as I carried my lovely gift into the sittmp-room, to display it to mother. I met Mr. Jones a few days afterwards as I was going out of our gate, and bowing rather haughtily, in a few formal words thanked him for the rose-tree. He smiled, in spite of my assumption of dignity, as

though he were thinking to himself, "This is the savage young lady who scalded my

dog."

Well, things went on peai

inr awhile, then it teemed that one of the

little Joneses had purchased an old hen and chickens for pets, and that hen and her numerous family soon proved a greater nuisance than the dog hod been.

I bore their depredations with the forti

tude and patience of a martyr, however, de

termined to not make another display or my hot temper. But this good resolution vanished quickly one day, when, on returning home after making some calls, I found that wretched hen right in the middle of my choicest bed of pnnsies, scratching as only the industrious mother of a brood of chickens cow scratch. My velvety, purple pansies, with their rich, golden hearts, were falling beneath her relentless claws, like grain before the reaper. I was very angry, and scarcely remember what followed, but I do know I managed to secure the ruthless specimen of feathered maternity, and after giving her a good shaking, regardless of her vigorous struggles and ear-piercing squalls, threw her over the fence, with the combined strength of wrath and despair. I heard something very like a muttered oath, and the next moment Mr. Janes, with

a long, bleeding scratch on his face, put

his head over the fence. It was plainly apparent that the enraged and frightened hen had landed on his head in her sudden descent, and, although I really almost felt frightened at the result of my rash act, I could not help laughing to save my life. "Laugh en, cruel and vindictive girl, if jon feel like it, but I should be 'chickenhearted' indeed yes, even more spiritless than a Tien-pecked husband,' did I not re

sent this insult. A mischievous twmKie in his eyes contradicted his words however,-and in spite of the scratch on his face,

I noticed that he was even handsomer than

I had before thought him. "Mr. Jones, I humbly crave your pardon. In what manner can I atone for my belligerent act?"

"By giving me your handkerchief to

staunch the blood which is flowing from

this ghastly wound," he said tragically.

I handed him the handkerchief a little reluctantly, I confess, for it was my very best linen cambric one, and 1 had spent a whole day embroidering my monogram on

it. However, I yielded with the best grace

I could, and Mr. Jones, after wiping -the

blood from his face, coolly put the hand'

kerchief In his pocket, with that provoking forge tfulness which men are so apt to indulge in. I went into the house then, full of inward merriment, yet not daring to tell

mother, for I knew very well what a scolding she would give me.

Mr. Jones brought me some rare pansies

the next morning and insisted on planting

them himself, assuring me at the same

time that the old hen should not disturb

them again, as she was secured in a large

coop. Then he walked around the yard and admired my flowers, and seemed so fond of them that I grew generous, and cut some of the sweetest ones, and made him an exauisite little bouquet to

take to Mrs. Jones.

Some time after that mother called on Mrs. Jones, and came back much pleased

with her. She had found her a sweet,

intelligent little woman, and was delighted that our neighborhood had received such a

valuable acquisition. She was going away in a short while, though, to spend a month in the country, so mother, who had fallen

Quite in love with her, ran in to see her

quite often.

I do not know how she managed it, but

Mrs. Jones soon talked mother into

senting to have Mr. Jones take his meals with us while she was absent. She said

he hated hoarding houses and hotels so

much, and it would be such an accommo

dation and pleasure to him could he board

with us. I hardly know whether I

pleased or not, but as my wishes were not

consulted in the matter, it made very little

difference to Mr. Jones.

We found him very pleasant; so wellread, so intellectual, so sincere, that he quite won the hearts of my parents. He paid very little attention to me, and yet, in a quiet way, he was courteous and kind,

helping me train the vines and water the flowers, and giving me valuable assistance

in my study of German and music.

Sometimes I sang a song for him of evenings and often he sang with me, but

oftener I sat and listened while he talked

to father. Somehow I began to look for

ward to these evenings as the pleasantest

part of the day, not stopping to analyze my feelings, but I realized the truth at last, with a shock of horror at my own want of honor. J -tens ' hte with another wo

man's husband!

Shame and remorse overwhelmed me

then, and I spent no more evenings in the

parlor with Mr. Jones and my parents, but kept closely in my own room, determined

to tear this disgraceful attachment out of

my heart. I even neglected my flowers,

lest Mr. Jones should assist me in thencare as usual. He seemed to wonder a Utile at the change in me, and mother noticed it also, and became quite solicitous when I told her I was not well, which was

more than half the truth, fox I was sick

at heart.

Well, Mrs. Jones returned at last, and I was sincerely thankful. I hoped her presence would dispel the infatuation under which I was laboring, and restore me to

my senses once more. Of course Mr.

Jones did not come in to take tea with us

the evening Mrs. Jones returned, and that night I sat down at the piano, feeling very

lonely and self -reproachful.

I sang a little sad song, half crying as I sang. At its conclusion someone touched me liehtlv on the shoulder. I turned

around half scared, for I had thought my

self alone.

"I bee vour pardon, Miss Lucy. I did

not intend to frighten yon. I have come

in to return your handkerchief."

I reached out my hund to take it. but in

stead of giving me the cambric, his warm

hand clasped mine. I struggled indig

nantly.

"Release me this moment, sir! How

dare you so insult me?" I said angrily.

"Idonotintendtooffendyou.liuoy. Ionly

want to tell you how sorry I am that Mrs.

Jones has come home, because my delight

ful evenings here are over, unless "

I waited to hear no more, but broke in

passionately:

"Another word of that kind, and I shall call your wife, and reveal your treachery to

her. Oh! you dishonorable traitor, what kind of a woman do you think I am, that

von have the audacity thus to address

me?"

"I think yon are the sweetest little girl in existence." he said, exasperstingly. "As

to calling my wife, I do not quite compre

hend yon."

"Had you not better add to your villainy by denying that there is a Mrs. Jones?" I said, sarcastically. Then he laughed in my face, while I looked on him scornfully. "I shall do no such thing," he said, still smiling. ''There is a Mrs. Jones, the dearest, sweetest little woman I know, ex

cepting Lucy Stuart.- She is the one I wish j

make Mrs Sydney Jones,

and the one my dear little sister-in-law, Mrs. Henry Jones, is anxious to receive as a siator, though just now she

so happy because my brother has re

turned from his long trip to Canada that, I

fear she gives little thought to our af

fairs."

There was perfect silence for a few

minutes, though my heart was full of tumultuous happiness.

"Lucy!" "Well." "Don't you'want your handkerchief?" "Of course I do." "You can have it on one condition only,"

and Mr. Jones took my hand, and this time

did not withdraw it. "What is it?" I said, so softly I could

scarcely hear myself.

In answer, he slipped a ring upon niy

finger, and kissed rue.

"Do to know, Lucy, I fell in love with

you the very morning yon scalded that poor dog? Yon looked so charming, with tout bright eyes flashing, your flushed cheeks,,

and little, defiant form drawn up to Its most formidable height, that I surrendered

my heart as soon as I saw you."

Reader, yon guess the denouement, of

course wedding breakfast, bridesmaids,

orange blossoms.

FAITHFUL TO BTROX'S XEXOKT. Countess Guiccioli was absolutely

and thoroughly as uracil in love with Byron's memory when I saw her, in the years 1868 and 1869, as she had been with the living man thirty years be

fore, and as dear Mrs. Norton used to say, "there is something exceedingly beautiful and almost sacred in the completeness of the adoration which a woman bestows on the man she loves."

Her enthusiasm when speaking of Byron's beauty was almost childish and

theme she never ceased dwelling

upon, l asked her which was tne nest portrait existing of Byron, and she

gave me a photograph of him, from a portrait by Phillips, the same which I

caused to be reproduced as a frontis

piece for my translations of her "Becolleotions," but when she gave it she

looked at it a moment in reverent

silence, then burst ont in commenda

tion of Bvron's neck, his brow, his

face, his nails, but especially his mouth

"Regardez done cette bouche; mats elle est delicieuse! son sourire elait

divin. Hon Dieu, qu'il etait bean!"

His complexion was transparent, his

teeth like pearls, his hair glossy and curling, his nails roseate as the shells of the ocean, and a simple glance at the unrivaled mouth enabled one to under

stand that the privileged being was en

dowed with every noble passion,

coupled with an instinctive horror of what is low and vulgar in human nature." On one occasion I asked the Marquise to show me any relic of Byron which she-might possess. She then showed me the manuscript of

"Beppo," "The Corsair," of "Marino Faliero," of "Werner," cantos of "Don Juan." A little packet of letters, tied

up with blue ribbon, she most relv

giously raised to her lips and rever

ently kissed; another parcel, contain

ing a lock of his "curly and glossy hair," was embraced with less reverence and more display, while other trifling mementos were very quickly hid from

view. But all the time she was investi

gating, for my benefit, the large oak

chest which contained these treasures,

a smile played upon the little old

woman's countenance, the satisfied smile

of a woman's pride, caused by the rec

ollection that the love of herself alone

had prompted the bestowal of these

now historical relics. Mrs. Norton told

me that when she came to England the

Guiccioli was the belle and the cynosure

of the season. I cannot conceive her

to have ever been so great a beauty,

When I knew her she bore signs of having no donbt been pretty, but nothing in her features could, like those of

Caroline Norton, speak to a beauty

whom age is not sparing. She had

very bright complexion; a very pretty

hand, which she was fond of showing;

and wore curls, which, being out of

fashion at that date, detracted from her personal attractiveness. But she

was essentially amiable and almost

martyr to that virtue. Her face betrayed her loving disposition, and many a one can tell of her practical goodness

and her generous acts. Blackwood's

Magazine.

A Chicago special says: The executive committee of the Trades and Labor assembly and the master workman of district assembly, No. 24, KnighTts of Labor, have issued" an address saying that they have neither sympathy nor affiliation with any class of men who set law and order at defiance. They have consistently and persistently declined to resort to violence. Their reliance is and has been based upon the justness of their cause,

power of organization, and the sympathy of that public whose sympathy, when facts are known, is seldom misplaced. They are none the less determined to securo recognition and the adoption of the eight hour system by any aud every lawful means within their power. There is a greater feeling of confidence apparent in the ability of the authorities to preserve peace. The outlook continues threatening in certain quarters, and the police expect to be called on to disperse gatherings in certain portions, but the arrest of four anarchists has insured the feeling that that element will no longer prove troublesome. Ihe State's Attorney says: "We will push the prosecution of the men who instigated tho riot and helped to carry out tho murders, as far as the law allows us." The police made raids on places suspected of having anarchist's war materia), and have found firearms, inflammatory banners, and anarchist literature in nearly all of them. Am. is quiet at Milwaukee.

Indla-Rubber ti inhered in Colombia

When the hunter has fonnd a rubber tree, he first clears away a space from the roots, and then moves on in search of others, returning to commence operation as soon as he hns marked all the trees in the vicinity. He first of all diars a hole in the irronnd hard by, and

then cuts in the tree a V-ahaped incision with a machete, as high as he can reach. The milk is caught as it exudes and flows into the hole. ' As soon as the flow from the cut has ceased the tree is chopped down, and the trunk raised irom the ground by means of an improvised trestle. After nlaciuc larflre leaves to catch

the-sap, gashes are cut throughout the entire length, and the milk arefnlly collected. When it first exudes, the sap is of the whiteness and consistence of cream, but it turns black on exposure to the air. When the hole is filled with rubber, it is coagulated by adding

hard soan or the roots of the meolivacan.

whieh have a mast rapid action, and

prevent the escape of the water that is always present in the fresh sap. When coagulated sufficiently, the rubber is secured by bark thongs, oarriod on the

back of the Hunter to tne uanK ot ue river, and floated down on rafts. The annual destruction of rubber trees in Colombia is very great, and the industry must scon disappear altogether, unless the government puts in force a law that already exists, which compels the lvqnters to tap the trees without cutting them down. If this law were strictly car ied out, there would be a good opening for commercial enterprise, for rubber trees will grow from 8 to 10 inches in diameter in three or four years from send. The trees require but little attention, and they begin to yield returns sooner than any other. Those that yield the greatest amount of rubber nourish on the banks of tho Simu and Asia to Hivers. The value of the crude India-rubber imported into the States annually is about $10,000,000.
