JQow propitioiia the fates wtfre? What she mul devoutly wished for was vonder—a man. Mr. Denver'e hired man, without doubt. She snsfended operations, and with her hoe rafted alo?v eried out: "Here, young man, come here! I want you to help in diggings few bushels of

potatoes. I will incur Mr/UeuveF

That's a good man!"

She was earnestly digging away when he vaulted over the fence, and stood by her side, hoe in band, his hat lower down on hir face than ever. But Widow Darley'a .niece paid no attention to his personal appearance. He was nothing but a hired man, so whether ujrly or comely, what mattered it to

Ola Sol, an inflated ball of heat, glowered upon them savagely, and the perspiration stood out in beaded drop* upon their faces as they toiied on, Mr. Denver's hired man making no better progress with his row of potatoes than Garnet with hers.

Tbg. girl glanced at him contemptuously^

"Yon don't succeed any better than I—a girl. You are the greenest hand at dtrfgiug potatoes I ever saw. Mr Denverll not keep you long, I know." "Perhaps not,' he said in a nonchalantway. "1 am a green hand at it, I acknowledge, but I guess I can learn after a while. See, miss. 1 have done my work well."

Garnet condesceudcd to inspect it. O my!" she cried out vexatiously, '•'howstupid, "how very stupid you are! You hsiven't got the potatoes half out the hill, and those you have hauled out are well-nigh chopped to pieces by t,he hoe. You wield that instrument as if it were yovu* intention to mutilate, to destroy. You need dig no more!"

Well, as you do not manage the hoe adroitly enough to be anything but detrimental to auntie's potatoes, you may' as well take the half-bushel basket,) gather them trp, and put them in the bags. They are peacli-blows, and are sure to bring an excellent price in the market, Mr.—"

She stopped and eyed him narrowly for the first time, styling him a remarkably hftudaonie and distingue-looking pehioii'fdf a hired hian. "You may call me Bob," he said, with a comical grimace. Mr. Denver calls me that."

Well, Bob, to work! Don't lag,, and when noon comes yon may share ray lunoh with me under the apple-' tree."

Quite an inducement. A feeling of' iudierousnees carac over him, ana he fairly shook with laughter.

Was he laughing at her? Garnetdrew' herself up proudly, aspark of fire in her big dark eye.

What makes you laugh «o immoderately, Bob? It is not polite of you, and I shall certainly report your illbehavior to Mr. Denver."

Pray don't, Miss Embers," with an affected humility. **1 couldn't help it. Indeed I couldn't! If you had seen that ill-favored hop*toad leap over that po-, tato, you'd laugh too. It was so tunny. The toad was so small, whereas the potatb has grown to an enormous size —a regular whopper! Look! Misa Embers, there goes the fellow now under that straggling vine!"

Humph!" waa all the answer she vouchsafed him, as she went on with her digging, but she doubted the existence of the toad, and believed be was making sport of her.

The minutes crept on, twelve o'elock came, and Bob was waxing savi hungry. As he emptied the foui basket of potatoes he said: "It is noon »w. Miss Embers, Fm •ore. See! Old Sol is directly over us. Come, lets have our lunch under the apple-tree. I'm hungry as a cannibal.'' "I too," acknowledged Garnet. '•Get that parcel yonder, Bob, and don't squeeze it, else you'll crush the cranberry tarts in iu Aunt Sarah made them, and she's a famous pastrycook." "Cranberry-tart*!" his mouth beginning to water.

I worked two years in Madam Brown's establishment endeavoring to learn how to cut and mskke dresses, but failed ignominiously was therefore sent home, minus a recommendation. So it will be with you. Bob. Although a thoroughly good man, Mr. Denver is a very exacting one, and your work to-day Is a specimen of what you can do, he will not keep you ia his service any longer than 'absolutely necessary.

He had doffed his sombrero, and his picturesque, Moorish face, illumined by darkly splendid eyes, Garnet thought the hatiasumest in*the world. "If he were not a hired man," kht5 mused, or even had ever so squall an income, I brieve I could Tove him. As it is, the idea is simply ridiculous. I will sound hhn to see if ho a» intellectual he looks."

She did so, and they fell into a eon-* versiition so agneable to both, that time passed by unheeded A man's voice aroused them,1 It was Mr. Denver's. "Heighor' he cried iu a heai tone, "having a picnic on a small scale? Plaguy mean of you. Miss Garnet, not X) extend an invitation to your nearest neighbor. When did you arrive?" ••Last night. And, Mr. Denver," as ihey shook^hands, "I took the liberty of soliciting help from your hired mau in digging a few bushela of potatoes to take to market." "Ha, ha, ha!" The good man's laugh rang out loud and clear. "Did you really take Bob for a hired man? Why, this is my guest, Mr. Lincoln— the gentleman who holds the mortgage on your aunt's place. He, to use an expression in vogue, is fairly rolling in riches. Ha! ha^ ha! my aired man! Miss Embers, Mr. Lincoln."

He strolled away, and the two were '«ft alone. Miss Embers P"

No reply the fair face was buried low in her hands, and Garnet felt as il she could never meet his gaze again. How came she to make such an egregious blunder Well, no apology would be admissible now, and she must brave it out as well as possible. "Garnet," and now the hands were removed from the flushed face, and held in his warm clasp, "listen to me. You have made-a mistake, and the only way you can rectify it is to accept me as your friend. Will you?"'

And plucky, little Garnet, with a coquettish glance from under her jet-black lashes, said—

I will. That is

itation to her voice, and auntie's potatoes to market with Mr. Denver horse. I wish to purchase some groceries."

It is needless to say that he did as she desired, and late in November when the air was chill and keen, and the flakes of snow eddied to the ground, and covered it with a mantle of white. Robert Lincoln presented Mrs. Darley with a deed of the place, and took Garnet away with him to his city home, where as his wife she reigns quite royally and he always blesses the day when he dug potatoes with her, and she took him for "Mr. Denver's hired man."—Bailouts

Extra Care of Calves.

.THRRK i^ no labor1,'food or core, whioh makes a betteir returii tBab'extra attention to calves. Too often they artunprovided with pasture, but are in/a close lot or tied up and have only limited rations of milk twice a day, without oats, meal or flaxseed. Healthv and thrifty animals with well-rounded bodies, their happy looks and action^ repay ten-fold foif their additional foodj and care. Besides, thete i« no wisdom in starving a calf all summer, freezing it all winter, and then complain cause the poor thing is not able to n\ake a respectable shadow.

Calves can be made to be! wbrth twenty-five dollars at a year old by the aid of three dollars extra food, or they can be worth only five dollars hy neglect On the one hafitrtMWBti'r on^ht to be depriywd of jsweei slee nights for Ws chtefty uyiiu^fi I3t innocent calVe^'an*! on to be and will W h*pp, noble and contented specimens ot tender care, andiiiy neighbors will v^joice that the owner is able to pay hi.* debts. Thei1® is too little oil orflaxseed fed to calves. It is needed by them in their rapid development fot^ bone and muscle. If farmers would ttuso «nd keep it for their own use. there is no cheauer or better food for calves, oolts, horses, cow* and even hogs. In winter especially, as more thati forty per cent.'df it is heat and fat-producing foot!, it should be more generally used. The oil meal is oniy the bran of the. *!apeed, with ail of the oil extracted wiilcin the most pnver/ui iron presses can accomplish, leaving but little of the real virtues of the liaxsced in it. The seed is sold by farmers to the mills fer one and a half conts per pound, and the refuse is? sold by the mills at thirty dollars per ion or one and a half cents per pound, when one pound of ilaxseed is worth three of meal. Farmers could mx one bushel of Ilaxseed to four of o.-iU or corn and get thera ground at feed aiUl*. and they would have jH*t what they want and their stock 'need. When th« time comes that farmers are independent enough to have their own flaxseed. witAou* being mortgaged to oil mills, Ihen it will be possible* for any one to iy flaxseed, if he does not raise it. There are no farmers but should use some every year, while others should use largely.

But we are now pleading lor present care of calves. If there is neither flaxseed or oil meal to be had. wheat middlings and corn meal are a good substitute. But stop that calfs bawling, relieve your own conscience, and replenish your depleted finances —Iowa Stale Register.

[the Permanent Cure of Catarrh

CATARRH was considered an incurable disease. I had then suffered for eighteen VekrS. 1 was first attacked by a slight cold, followed with deafness rih^liff|l in the ears, soreness of thfe throat, disgusting nasal discharges, weak,, inflamed eyes, hawking, rising of vile matter,.black and sometimes bloody mucus, coughing, with great soreness cf the lungs. The liver and stomach were polluted with the diseased matter running from the head. .Compelled to resign my pastorate, I compounded myi CATARRH SPECIFIC, and cured myself. Now at the age ofl sixty-seven, I can speak for hours with no difficulty, and never have had in the whole thirteeen years the slightest return of the disease.'
