THE COUNTRY F1TIIEIM.V-LAW.

BY JOSIPH1S E. CARRY. "Why do jot deter me from coins; you know my heart ia set upon having a month or io of quiet and ceclasion, aad whsro am I o likely to ud it as In the coant? T said Harold Maraa'and to his frieDnd Reece Ellington, a thy walked down cna of the 1 riccial streets of I 3. ''uiet! SecloMoa!" repeatai Reece ia a contemptuous tone. "I'd Ilka to know how long it la ain :e you Lave beitn to sigb for qaiet; you, who are one of the most fun loving fellows m town, mnt pick up and 50 into the coautrv at the best of the season! Besides, IlarroM. joa are crazy to think of sroing into tha country where thre will be do one to talc to you but a lot cf bumpkins and ignorant c!o ihoppera and country glrh who stammer and blash if you happen to look at them. Yoa need only to paint your linger at the girls when they will begin to ggle." "That may be yonr version cf the bud jcct." said Harold, "bat to me it will be a reat relief to get away from this hot, hustling city and spend a season among the genial blue jeans farmers and rustic belles. Who knows bat I'll fall in lova with some country lass and present her to yon as Mrs. Harold Marshland on my return. How would that euit you, old boy?" he went on. laughing heartily at the improbability of h's own joke, and highly amused at his ir-nd'a di?comfitnre. "Very well. AU I have 1o ?ay Is th.it I wish you joy, but do not admire you tate. Just th'nk ; some day whn yon are having crard party at your magnificant residence oa Fifth avenue, and have gathered together all the beauty and chivalry of your aristo0 atic circle, you will look down the street ardsffcer f'sther coming along, driving a covered wagon and pair of oxn, üIOd at your brown-stone mansion and march into the middle of your hanghty guests, arrayed in cowhid9 boots, blue jeans and palm leaf. Then, to crown all, you will be obliged to introduce turn to your friends as your much revered fither-ia-law." replied Reece, laughing im itcderately at the horrid picture he preented. Harold joined good naturedly in the 1 tuen, and the two friends shook hands aad separated for the night. Harold MarshUnJ, after givingstrict injunctions to the servants to call him early, went to bed, hopiag to ohtain a little rest during tha time waich intervened before his early departure the following morning He was Dp early the next day. and having !r.ank the cup of coffee the terrant brought him he snatched up his valise and went lown ttair?, where he eocoantered Reece Ellington waiting for him. Tas friends lit their C'gars and started for thedspjt to catch thn moning train, which was to take one of theni away from the city for a month at least. '1 know I ball enjoy the comtry, notwitbetandiEg a'l your presching, Ellington; and the only thir g that worries me Is that I can not persuade vou to give up the city for awhile and accompany me. Perhaps my mile country wife that Is to be might bav a prett), bashful sister that you might imrry. nrd then we would" luv the fame country father-in-law to visit us daring oar party teafocs," eaid Harold, renewing the conversation of the preceding night with amcfemert. "O, its all very well for you to talk, bat von can tot get me to burn my fingers at the same stove with you; when you come back and find me married to the rich heir as, Miss Stanley, who is comins here next week, and the happy possessor of her fifty thousand dollars, perhaps yoa will change the tore cf your argument," Reese replied dolefully. "Ha. ha, Rf ece, if you succeed in catching r-cr I shall fay you are a clever fellow. Bat now I must pay PAod-bye; as the train is starting and I might get left behind, in which case your chances for wianing the heires3 might be very small. 80 farewell, my dear friend, here is the train and I must away to parts remote. The coast is clear, the field is opea to you, bo go and win your heiress and give my wife all your orders for pumpkin butter." Harold Marshland leaned out of the car window watching the retreating form of his friend until it was hidden behind the car xiages and vehicles surrounding the depot, and then drew a volume from his pocket and was aeon interested in its contents So abjorbf d was he that he was startled when the thrill whistle of the engine announced their Htrival at the little station where he was to j.et otT. He grasped his valise and sprang out c.n the 1 Utform A light spring wagon was wsitiug to convey him to hi? destination. HetookaEeat l es de the driver and was toon speeding a!or5 the country road. After a drive of about five miles from the station they drew up before a pretty white Iwo-story hous, surrounded by wheat and cornfieMj, and. from his seat in the wa?on le could tee a pretty sparkling brook flowing abrough the meadow. He alighted and opening the gate, walked Tip the llower bordered pith toward the Louse where he was met by the housekeepsr, ho conducted him to his room and left htm to rest before dinner. Having finished his toilet, Harold sat ''n by the window to await the sumaioas lot refreshments. He was thire but a few 2i.oii.ents when he saw farmer Stanley, the cwntrcfthe farm, emerging from behind the trees, and a sruila fiittcd acrc?s his face as 1 retailed Reece Ellington's raillery of the i"ht before. In the mfantirre the farmer had apr reached the house, and Harold saw that be was a tro I. stout, stoop-shouldered man of tbcut forty years. His hands and feet were very Iarse. his hair long and his whiskers bushy; his face was tanned and weathert t- au n, and his whole appearance the regular representation of the burly, awkward farmer Reece Ellington had such an antipathy toward. Ilearirg the dinner-V!l ring. Harold left his position by the window and his amusine inflection cf the farmer and descended to the dining room. The houf ekeeper was the only occupant o! tte room, and she bustled forward and l-laced a chair for him. Just as he was takiscr the proifered seat he heard the door open pnd the housekeeper tay. "Mr. Marshland, How me to introduce you to Miss CUra Stanley." He turned and fouöd himself face to facs with the most butiful creature he ever aw. When be heard her, in clear, rinsing toD?, welcome him to Cakwoods, ha bowed lew in acknowledgment of her greeting, bat all the time his eyea were expressing the admiration he felt for the beautiful being before hiza. It as. indeed, a beautiful picture he gazed upon. The queenly shaped hen-1, crowned hy a wealth of golden hair, the delicate pink und white complexion, the rounded, dimpled chin and full red lips, the large violet eyes, haded by long sweeping lashes and curved brews, all tended to inspire one with awe and admiration as it did Harold Marshland. The form cf introduction being over they all sat down to the tastefally set table and tempting yiauds, and Harcli aiajt bs lor

given if be lookei more at the downward blushing face opposite him than he did at tb eatablf-s before him. Tbe warm sumnjer days flew by a bird on win? and many happy hours did Harold .Marshland and Ciara Stan'ey 8D-nd ia eaib other's society, wicirsj ia the orchard, sit tine beneath soaie shtily tre while ha raad pc try or same interesting bo 3k and she Tftening in rapturou sileaca to his lo, melodious voice and atcbing the chanting xprffiou of h is haud'ame oamenanc Tdls iUy after day they werft toethsr until e&rh felt that without the other life woall h vt i.i. FnMnr deejred lato autamu, ail .t last I nslnes made it necessary for HrolJ t retarn to the city Bat he det'minet cot to go, for hrg before this he dee'ded that Dara tstan'ey and none other sho aid be bis wfe. Thinp were in this state, when ne rhillv day in Ocobr Harold recelred a letter from Ile-ce Ellington which was full of tbe most exuberant joy. declaring that all his hopes had been fulfilled. He had not onl? socceeded in winning the heiress, but ai he said, one of the handsomest creatures this side of the Atlantic, and that they were to be married in about three weeks; that she and her aunt were on their way home to make preparations for the wedding, and that be was to follow them in two weeks to claim his bride and make the acquaintance of her relatives. I do not know ho these relations are, he said, as I never heard thsm mentioned before. In fact, I thought she had no other living relative except her aunt with whom she was traveling, and rumor said was immensely rich, but I sap oose it Is all right, as rumor is njt alyj to be trusted. At any rate I shall so?i know everything, as I am to go to her home ia two weeks ami find out for rx.yeelT. Then he went on plaguing Harold about the country and country g:;ls until he could scarcely re vi from lanshing at his wittizisais. He woo dered what Rsece Ellington would sty if he knew ?hat everything he hid predicted had come 1 rue, for he wa3 on the eve of asking Clara to be his wife, notwithstanding the proep- tof Laving the blustering, uncouth farmer for his father-in-law, who would no doubt he a target for his iriend's sarcasms. Pultmzthe letter away he went forth to join Clara, ihom Le espied walking among the trees. They wslkred through the grounds until tbe clouds ui night wtre falling, and as they turned to go indoors he turned to her aad taid : 4 Comp, let us go in and tell your father that you have contented to be my wife and obtain lm bieing and permission." Uarold," the replied,"! have no father," zrd a look o contrition crossed her gl owtna: fO'inteDance. "My father has beea dal for three jeara," "No, lather! Why, Clara, is Mr. Stanley ret onr father; and what do you caein by a ing ycur father is dead?'' "It ls'true. Harold, I am not Mr. Stanley -dauuhtrf. He is only a di&taut couiiu cl iijy father's, whom he appointed fjaardia'i over me when he died I came here oily on a viit with my aunt Mrs. Elrlght. ani in-t-i ded to go afterward to I n. but when we rrived I was so delighted wilh country 1U and the generous heartsd country people that I resolved to remain daring the remtindtroi the eeasoa. Bat my aunt had scnif important business to transact, and as I could not continue my j jurney she took mv cootin, Berenice Stanley, with her. 1 received a letter from Berenica last Mondav. tuatinf that she was to be ruirried to a Mr Rtece EllinstoD, and we are expecting her home in a few days to make preparations for her wedd-.ng. "Mr. Harold, you must foreive me for ray decf ption ; I did not inte d to deceive you at fiist. but when you took it for granted that I was Mr. Stanley's daughter I did not correct your mistake. The housekeeper and others also observed it and thought it would be a good joke to Jet you still think so. "tiJl I hope you will like me none the lss when I tell von that instead of being Mr. Startler's daughter I aai Mrs. EIright's nice and heirets " Had a thunder-bolt fallen before him Harold could not have been more astonished tban he was at this recital. The very idea of Reece EUington marrying a farmer's daughter. Reece, who had scoffed at and made fun of country people, had himself selected a wife trom among them. Oh, it was too much, and dropping Into the nearest seat, he gave vent to his feeliDgs in hearty pea's ctf laughter. At first Clara supposed he was becomtDg insane, but when he explained the cause of his merriment she too joined in the laugh at the turn affairs had taken. A few days aftr Rsece aüd his pronised bride arrived, and when he was introduced to Farmer Stanley, and explanations followed, h's astonishment and chagrin may ba imagined better than described. Rut although he was greatly disappointed at first, on acccunt of Harold's teasing, he s Km recovered his equenamity, for he was truly attached to Berenice, and would not permit such ttiSing annoyances to interfere with his happiness Two weeks after lher9 was a grand double wedding in the church near by, and no hanpier couple could be found than Reece Ellington and his bonny bride, notwithstanding the fact that it was his and not Harold's bride who made the pumpkin bnttet that was used at the wedding, and forgetting his aversion to a country father-in-law, he persuaded Farmer Stanley to cell his land and reside with them in the city, and often langLed at the way he got his country bride.

Castard Pie. Beat three eggs slightly, add three tablesroonsfuls of sugar, one saltsrcoofnl of thlt and one saltspooafal of nutmeg, if liked. Pour cn three cups of scalded miik; strain into a deep plate lined with tas'. Rake slowly, and tbe mo-uent it putfs and a knife-blade comes out clean it is done. Boston Fuddirg One cup of chopped suet, on cup of raisins, stone and chopped, oaecnpof sweet milk, four cups of lliur, one can of molasses, one teaspoanful of salt and one of soda; steam for three hours. The rain and misery sulTered by tho?e who are alllicted with dyspepsia are indescribable. The distrefs of the body is equalled or surpassed by the confusion and tortures of the mind, thus making its victims sutler double affliction. The relief which is given by Hood's Sarraparilla has caused thousands to be thankful for this great medicine. It dispels the causes of dypepo.i3, and tones up the digestive organs. Try Hood's Sar.aparilia. Potato Salad. Boil six or eight potatoes, ard when cold cut them in very thin slices: a ?alid bowl must then be rubbed with half a cbve cf garlic; some finelv chopped chervil or parsley Etrewn over the Do'atoei in the bowl, and pepper, rait, oil and vinegar pouifd over the whole, and well stirred the quantity of oil should be in the proportion of ore tabiespoonfnl to less than one tablespconful of white Frenc'a vinegar. Men of sedentary habits preachers, lawyers, clerfcs, bookkeepers and others are particularly liable to nervous complaints, lack of vital force and the varioas other symptoms of a weakened and debilitated system. What such men want is a tonic, and the preparation that fills their case exactly is MI?hler's Herb Bitters, compounded from an ancient German formula and made up from the most wholesome herbs. As an appetizer it has no peer,
