HAPPY-GO-LUCKY.

BY GEO. COOVEB.

Happy-Qo-Lucky has cheeks rosy red, Ten limes a day he will staud on his head Happy-Uo-Lucky is brimful of fun, Up in the morning as soon as the sun, "V-t Sliding on banisters, all the way down, 'Playing at circus and bumping his crown.

When lie has shocked ail the house with affright, Oil' he goes, screaming with roguish delight.

Happy Go Lucky once climbed up a tree, Just to look round and see what he could see, Crack went the bough! Such a terrible fall! Didn't hurt Ilnppy-Go-Lucky ntall May be the fairies, with some potent Because he's so cheerful have kept liiin fron harm Mother so wishes that he would be stillUuly for once but the rogue never will

A Mutual Runaway.

"Your aunt Carleton and cousin Jentiio will bo hero in the next train, Kussell," said Mr. Wilder to his nephew. "You had better bring the pony chaise, and bring them from the 9 "Can't. I am going away myself, sir." "Tho—tbo d—1 you are responded the old gentleman, pushing his spectacles up over his forehead,.".nd regarding his nephew with an air of surprise ana consternation.

Yes, sir. Charley Hunt invited me out to his place for a few weeks, and I thought I might as well go now as any time.1'

I should say that it was a very strange time to be leaving home. Your aunt and cousin will consider it as a personal affront, sir."

It is not intended as such, sir. Though to bo lrank, considering the object of Jennie's visit, I prefer not to see her. And I must say that I think sue would have shown a sense of delicacy if she had stayed away." "Your cousin is a very lovely girl, Mr. Impudence, and won't be likely to go begging." "I don't doubt it in the least. But for all that, she won't suit me for a wife, uncle."

How do you know that, you conceited donkey, when you have never seen her?" inquired the irate old man, .^ringing his cane down upon the floor with startling emphasis.

Common sonse teaches ine (hat no marriago. can bo happy that does not .spring from mutual love. And on one thing I am resolved, that I will never marry from mercenary motives." "Nobody wants you to marry the girl, unless you like her!" roared Mr. wilder, his faco growing purple with rage and vexation at his nephew's perversity. "All I ask is that you will stay and seo her. And this is a point I insist upon—yes, sir, I insist upon it!"

I am sorry to disobey vou, uncle, but it I should stay, it will only give rise to conclusions that I am anxious to avoid. But I will tell you what I will do. I will relinquish all claim to the property that you are so anxious should not be divided. As that seems to be the main object, I think that it ought to bo satisfactory to all partieB."

A few minutes later Kussell passed by the window, valise in hand. Ho nodded good humoredly to bis uncle, as he glanced in, who glared after him in speechless rage,

He shan't have a penny,—not a penny!" ho growled, as sinking back in his chair, he wiped the perspiration from his forehead.

What's the matter now?" said tho gentle voice of his wife, Polly, who had just enterod tho room.

Matter onough, I should say. Russell has gone—actually cleared out, so as not to seo his cousin. What do you think of that?" "I think you'll havo another attack oi tho gout, if you get yourself so excited, said tho good lady, as she placidlv resumed her knitting.

Nvhat's to be done now Nothing:, that 1 can see. If Kussell and Jennie had seen each other before thev had any notion that you wanted them to marry, ten to one but they would havo fallon head and ears in love with each other but as matters are now, I don't beliove it would be of the least use. From what Ellen writes me, I should think Jennie to be as much opposed to it as Kussell. She says she can't bear to hear his namo mentioned, and that it was as much as she could do to get her consent to come at all, when she heard that Russell was at Jlome "They are a couple of simpletons," said tho old gentleman testily. "I've got half a mind to make another will, and leave my property to some chant-

in

Ming1to°Bighton, thither he was bound, Russell Wilder had to travel part of way by stage.

There was only ©ne passenger beside himself, for which he was not sorry, the day being very hot and sultry.

This passenger was a |at]y—t^rn°K^ an air of unmistakable ladyhood her which told him that. He

npticed

particularly th© daiuty gloved lianas and well-fitting boots. Her graceful form indicated that she was both young and pretty, but ne could not see her faco on account ot the envious veil that hid it.

But as soon as she got comfortably settled in the corner, to which Russell assisted her, she threw it back, disclosing a fair, sweet face, lighted by a pair of wondrouslv bright black eyes, which shot a swift,' bewildering glance into bis that was so iolontly KWrdlnR tor.

fThA sudden starting of the coach,

an opportunity ot speaking, as he returned them, of which he was not slow to take advantage.

From this they fell into conversation, and it was curious how, sociable thev became. fH I

They talked of the bHutifal scenery* through which they were passing of fhenewest books, and latest magazines sonjo of which IlusseU had with him.

The lady inwardlvjtfcought her companion ^he most entertaining and agreeable she ever met with. And as for Ilussell, he often lost the thread of bis discourse in admiring the red dimpled lips, and the pearly teeth thoy disclosed whenever she spoke or smiled. ,v

Certain it is that his .four l\ojir? ride from to iJightou, were- t^e shortest four hours he had ever known in his life. "Where do you want to be left, sir?" inquired tho coaclitnkn as he entered the village.

At Mr. Charles Hunt's, Locust Hill. Do you know where that is?" said Russell, putting his head out of the window.

Certainly, you thej in a jiffy." "Why, there's wYiere I'm gofng!" said the lady, opening her eyes widely.

Nelly—Mr. Hunt's wife, is my most particular friend wo used to go to school together."

And Charley Hunt is my most particular friend, ,and one of the finest fellows in tho world."

How very odd "How very fortunate!'' exclaimed Russell, with a moaning glance at his fair companion, which made the rosy cheeks still more rosy. Might I take the liberty of inquiring—"

But just at this moment the stage stopped in front of the house, on the

fIunt,

ortico, of which stood Mr. and Mrs. enjo\'ing the evening breeze. In a moment Russell, was shaking hands with tho former, while his companion rushed eagerly into the arms of the surprised and delightful wife,

Wh3r, what a happy surprise, Jennie!'' she said, after spiriting her visitor off to her own roam "I had given up all idea of seeing you this summer." "And I had no idea of being able to come just before we started. You see, mamma—my step mamma, you know —was going to Uncle Wilder's, and she insisted on my going with her, to see that hateful, disagreeable cousin of mine, that they are determined to marry to me. So when mamma was packing, I just put on my things and slipped off, leaving a note to tell her where I was goitig. Wasn't that a good joke on them. "I should think it was," said Nellie, with a burst of merriment, lar more than tho occasion warranted. "When I saw who your companion was, I thought you were out on your wedding tour."

No, indeed never saw tho man until he got into the stage at But, really, he id the finest looking man I ever saw, and so agreeable. ,.sWlio is ho?" "Oh, I'll introduce you when you come down stairs, there's Sarah, waiting to seo me about supper. You'll havo only time to dress. Mind and look your prettiest!"

And with a roguish shake of her finger at her friend, Nellie ran away to gee about supper.

If Jennie did not "look her prettiest," she certainly looked very lovely as she entered the supper room, her linen suit exchanged for a fresh, soft musilin, whose simplicity and purity were revealed only by the violet colored ribbons in the hair and throat,

Russell had also taken great pains with his toilet, as could be seen by the spotless linen and carefully arranged hair.

The pause that followed Jennie's entrance was broken by Mr. Hunt, who in response to a moaning glance from his wifo, said

Russell, allow me to introduce to vou your cousin, Jennie Miss Carloton, your cousin, Russell Wilder."

The embarrassment which followed tho blank astonishment into which this announcement threw the parties, so unexpectedl made known to each other, was quickly dispelled by the turn that was given it by the host and hostess.

I suppose you'll want to book vou rself for the'next stage?" said Mr. 'Hunt, slyly to Russell, who had been taken into bis friend's confidence. "And vou," said the wife, turning to Jennie, I don't suppose anything could tempt you to remain, now that you havo seen that hateful, disagreeable—"

Nellie," interrupted Jennie, crimsoning, as she remembered her woids. Well, I won't then. But you must let me laugh! Just to think of you both running in the same direction, and to tho same place!"

Tho ringing laugh that burst from Nellie's lips was too contagions to be resisted, even by those at whoso expense it was raised.

This merriment was followed by a general good feeling, and a pleasanter tea-party never gathered around tho social board.

We need hardlv say that Russell did not take the stage next morning, nor did Jennie soem at all disposed to cut short her visit on account of her oousin's unexpected appearance.

When she did go, they went as they came, together. Mr. Wilder's astpnisment was only equaled by his delight on looking out of tho window to see the two walking up the path towards tho house, arm in arm, and apparently on the best of terms.

As for Russell and Jennie, they seemed to regard this unexiected meeting ns an indication of their "manifest destiny," accepted us such, much to the joy of their uncle, whose darling wish was accomplished in tho marriage of the two, thus mado happy in spite of themselves.

The fond, but thrifty parents consented, and tho youth will hereafter be known to his friends as Young Pigg.

A one-legged Welsh orator, named Jones, was pretty successful in bantering an Irishman, when the latter asked him, "How did you come to lose your leg?"

"Be the powers," said Pat, "it would have been a deuced good thing it it had only settled in your head.'

A GRAMMATICAL DIALOGUE. The following conversation between young lady who wrote for magazines and an old gentleman who thought he could speak English, occurred somewhere iu Massachusetts, and is quoted for the benefit of grammarians:

Old Oentlemon—"Are there any houses building in your village?" Young Lady—"No, sir. There is new house being built for Mr. Smith, but it is the carpenters who are building."

Gentleman—"Truo I sit corrected. To be building is certainly a different thing from being built. And how long has Mr. Smith's house been being built?"

Lady—(Looks puzzled a moment, and then answers rather abrubtly)—"Nearly a year."

Gentleman—"How much longer do you think it will be being built?" Lady—(Explosively)—"Don't know."

Gentleman—"I should think Mr. Smith would be annoyed by its being so long being built, for the house he now occupies being old, he must leave it, and the new one being only being built, instead of being built, as he expected, he cannot—"

Hero the gontleman perceived that the lady had disappeared. 9

5 DEATH'S VALLEY. A spot almost as terrible as the prophet's valley of dry bones, lies just north of the old Mormon road, to California, a region 30 miles long by 30 broad, and surrounded, except at two points, by inaccessible mountains. It is totally* devoid of water and vegeta tion, and the shadow of a bird or wild beast never darkens its white glaring sands. Tho Kansas Pacific railroad enginoers discovered it, and also some papers which show the fate of tho "lost Montgomery train," which came south from Salt Lake in 1850, guided by a Mormon. When near Death's Valley somo came to the conclusion the Mormons knew nothing about tho country, so they appointed one of their number a leader, and broke oil from the party. The leader turned due west so with the people and wagons and flocks he traveled three days, and then descended into the broad* valley whose treacherous mirage promised water. They reached tho center, but only white sand bounded by scorching peaks met their gaze. Around the valley they wandered, and one bv one of tho men died, and the panting flocks stretched themselves in death under the hot sun. Then tho children, cryiug for water, died at their mothers' breasts with swollen tongues and burning vitals mothers followed. Wagon after wagon was abandoned, and strong men tottered,and raved and diod. After a week's wandering, a dozen survivors found some water in the hollow of a rocEfin the mountain. It lasted but a short time, when all perished but two, who escaped out of the valley and followed the trail of their former companions. Eighty-seven families with hundreds ol animals perished here, and now, after twenty-two years, tho wagons stand stni complete, the iron work and tires are bright, and the shriveled skeletons lie side bv side.—[Springfield Re* publican. it

ORIGIN OF MUSKETOES

An Indian Legends

The Red River Indians have a legend respecting the origin of musketoes. They say that once upon a time there was a famine, and tho Indians could get no game. Hundreds had died from hunger, and desolation filled their country. All kinls of offerings were made to the Great Spirit without avail, till one day two hunters camo upon a white wolverine, a very rare animal. Upon shooting the white wolverine, an old woman sprang out of tho skin, and saying that she was a "Manito," promised to go and live with tho Indians, promising them plenty of game as long as they treated her well and gave her tho first choice of all the gamo that should be brought in.

The two Indians assented to this, and took the old woman home with them— which evpnt was immediately succeeded by an abundance of game. When the sharpness of the famine had passed, the Indians became dainty in their appetites, and complained of the manner in which the old woman took to herself all the choice bits and this feeling became so intense that, notwithstanding her warning that if they violated their promises a terrible calamity would come upon the Indians, they one day killed lier as she was seizing her share ot a fat reindeer which the hunters had brought in.

Great consternation immediately struck the witnesses of the deed, and the Indians, to escapo the predicted calamity, boldly struck their tents and moved away to a great distance.

Time passed on without any catastrophe occurring, and gamo becoriiing even more plentiful, the Indians began to laugh at their being deceived by the old woman. Finally a hunting party on a long chase of a reindeer, which led them back to the spot where the old woman was killed, came upon her skeleton, and ono of them, in derision, kicked the skeleton with his foot.

In an instant a small, spiral, vaporlike body arose from the eyes and ears of the skull, which proved to be insects, that attacked tho hunters with great fury, and drove them to the river for protection. Tho skull continued to pour out its little stream, and the air became full of avengers of the old woman's death. The hunters, upon returning to camp, fould all tho Indians suffering terribly from the plague, and ever since that time tho red men have been punished by the musketoes for their wickedness to their preserver, tho Manito. s- -:t H-ti

WHY DON'T YOU RESPOND. Old Judge W of in the old Dominion, is a character. He was frequently lawyer, legislator, judge and leading politician among the old time Whigs, of blessed memory but, alas! like them, his glory departed, and, like many others of his confreres, has gone "where tho woodbine twineth." Notwithstanding tho loss of property, and the too free use of "applejack." he maintained tbo dignity of ex-judge, drosscd neatly, carried a gold-headed cane, and when he had taken more than his usual allowance of the favorite beverage, he was very pious at such times, always attending church.and sitting near the stand as erectly as circumstances would admit, and responding fervently.

On one occasion a Baptist brother was holding forth with energy and unction, on the evils of the times, and in one of his flights exclaimed, J"show me a drunkerd!"

The Judge, rising to his feet, and unsteadily balancing himself on his cane, said very solemnly:

Here I am, Sir, here I am The Elder, though a good deal nonplussed by the unexpected response, managed to go on with his discourse, and soon warming to bis Work again, called out—"Show me a hypocrite! Show me a hypocrite! Show me a pocrite!" rudgo W again arose, and reaching forward acrote a seat which intervened. touched Deacon D——' on the shoulder with his cane and said:

Deacon why don't you respond. sir? Why don't yon respond I did when they called me!"

He demanded her hand in marriage, and was of course

ryectedf

Ehraged at this, he studied hovv'to be revenged. Profoundly skillfcfl'lh the mechanical arts, he allowed hiioself no rest until he had invented the most formidahle weapon that could Ue imagined. This was a key of large size, the handle of which was so obnstruoted that It could be turned round with little difl&culty. When turned it disclosed a spring, which on pressure, launched from tne other ond a needle or lancet of such subtle fineness that it entered the flesh and buried itselt there without leaving any external trace.

Tebaldo waited at the door of the ohurch in which the maiden whom he loved was about to receive the nuptial benediction. The assassin sent the slender steel unperceived, into the breast of the unsuspecting bridegroom, "the wounded man had no suspicion of injury, but seized with sharp and sudden pain in the'midst of the ceremony he feinted, and was carried to his own house amid the lamentations of the bridal party. Vain was all the skill of the physician, who could not divine the cause of this strange illness and in a few days he died.

Tebaldo again demanded the hand of the young maiden from her parents, and received a second refusal they, too, perished iniser&bly in- a few days.

The alarm that these deaths which appeared almost miraculous, occasioned, excited tho unrnost vigilance of the magistrates and when on close examinations of the bodies, the small instrument was found in^thegangrened flesh, terror was universal everyone feared for his own life. Tho maiden thus cruelly orphaned had passed the first month of her mourning in a convent, when Tebaldo, hoping, to bend her to his will, entreated to speak to her at the gate. Her reply was most decisively in the negative.

Tebaldo, beside himself with race, attempted to wound her through the gate and succeeded the obscurity of the splscs prevented his actions fronl being observed. On her return to her room, the maiden felt a, paia ip her breast, and uncovering it she found it spotted with a single drop of blood. The pain increased the surgeons who hastened to hor assistance, taught by tha naot w.iMtatl 110 time in coniHCtiipe.

The State inquisition sition used every means to discover the hand which dealt thoso insidious and irresistible blows4 The visit of Tebaldo to the convent caused suspicion to fell heavily upon him.

LAWS FOR THE MILLION*** A note dated on Sunday is void. A note obtained by fraudt or from one intoxicated, can not be collected.

If a note be lost or stolen, it docs not release the maker—he must pay it. An indorser of a note is exempt from liability, if not served with notice of its dishonor within twenty-fouj hours of its non-payment.

A note by ft minor is void. Notes bear interest only when so stated.

Principals aro responsible fbr their agents. Each individual partnership is responsible for the whole amount of the debts of the firm.

Ignorance of the law excuses no one. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. The law compels no one to do impossibilities.

An agreement without consideration is void. Signatures in lead pencil are good in law.

A receipt for money is not legally conclusive.. The acts of one partner bind all the others.

Contracts made on Sunday can uot be en forced. A contract made with a minor is void.

A contract made with aiunatioia void.

Everything in nature indulges in amusement of some kind. The lightning plays* the winds whistle, the thunder rolls, the snow jjies. the rills and cascades sing and dance, the waves leap, the fields smile, the vines cretep and run, And the buds ishoot. But some of them have their seasons of melancholy. The tempests moan, tho zfephyrs sigh, brooks inurtotit, and the mountains look blue.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

To remove freckles, one of the best lotions we know of is the following: Mix two tablespoonfuls ot grated horseradish in a teacupful of sour milk, and apply frequently with a linen rag.

To REMOVE TAN.—Mix magnesia in soft water to the consistency of paste, which should be spread on tbe face and allowed to remain a minute or two. Then wash off with castile soap suds, and rinse with clean, soft water.

A NEW ORLEANS MYSTERY. New Orleans has a sensation at last— ,one which cities of cooler blood aro exempt from. Some evenings ago the daughter of a prominent and wealthy citizeu, after closing and fastening all the doors and windows, went into the dining room for some water, and while bending over the sideboard saw reflected in the glass a figure right behind her. Turning quickly, she saw the tall,, slender figure of a woman clothed in black, with one hand on tho table and the other in her bosom. Tho frighten-] ed girlj with a show of courage, took few steps forward, and asked: "Whc are you?" "Who am I? This—this who I am," answered the woman, coming to the young girl in a few rapid strides, quickly drawing tho hand hero» tofore concealed in her bosom. She held up a small glittering knife. "Look, this is who I am. But no, 'tis qo use—you are to die so soon." Then this woman drew ack tho bolts from the long window-shutter, stepped out, and was gone. As soon as tho almost paralyzed girl could movo, she rushed to her brother and threw herself senseless at his feet. Since then she has been dangerously ill, and fully believes she will die. No clue to the mysterious w6mnn can be obtained, and only the knife has been found.

There is every reason in favor of the plan of educating and cultivating both sides of the body alike. Right-handed and loft-handed persons are almost certain to be unequally dfveloped. The side that is used the most is larger and stronger than the other. Right-handed persons are much stronger In the right hand and arm than in the left* and vice versa. This one-si-dodness is very apt to, and in many cases, does result in curvature of the spine, the curve being toward the stronger side, in one shoulder being higher and more projecting than tho other,! etc.
