When trimmed in pink, your new straw hat, On head or off, you'd care not how, Was worn or swung this way or that, So were we youug as we're not now, A chubby lass and lad I ween, As e'er with romp did glad the een.

Tben we were gleesome things, All leaps aod skp* and spriugs, For alt the days were glad, And 111 tie soi row bad, As foot to foot, and band in hand,

We climbed the bills togetbtr. When time come once, as who'd forget,

How ail the gladcomedays wore on, Qor panting heart* upleaping met, Tnen w© la all oar ways wore one. And yon would laugb or cry with me, Or you would sing or sigh with me,

You could not els?, you know, For you did love me so, And I would kiss you mack, And you would kis me back, Aji foot to foot, and hand in band,

We climbed the bill together.

As years agone in me dancp, Iu silk or hemp ayi»p be dress, True love'* the King or happiness."

And you nana true, my sweet, For love is lire complete, Ho you shall sing to me. Come close and cling to roe, As fi»o to foot, and hand in hand,

We climb tbe bill together.

Captain Tiller's Wooing.

Captain Seth Tiller, returning from his weekly fishing voyage in tbe good bark Tickler, was surprised to find bis domicile shut up and apparently neg lected.

Still more surprised was be upon be leg informed by a sympathizing neigb bor, who delivered to bim tbe door key. that bis sister Nancy, who bad been since bis mother's deatb bis sole hoa«ekeeper, bud formed a sudden attach meat for a traveling tinman of a neighboring town, and bad on tbe previous day walked off, or rattier ridden oil with the same in bis wagon, Nancv had left ber love and a good piece ol roast beef ready for her brother, together with a message to the effect that she "hoped be would tbiuk better of it, and come to see her awl Joseph, which nothing would please tbem more.'

Darned if I do,' snid Captain S«th Tiller,

wrathlnlly. 'Lnt

'I'll hev a lliled to*i. I miess,' said fee. as his eyes fell upon Nanny's couple ot rattier ancient 'puiletH,' stalking tor iornly abom tl»e premises, and, afier

'flung to dim. Well let her go. I don't oero. A woman ain't worth niuch anyhow, iiiul I guess I kin get along with out 'er.'

This was said aloud, partly as reliel to ins own fueliiiuis and irtly for ihe benefit of his next door neighbor, Mi*i» Heap Billings, who sat at tier window in visible enjoyment of bis chagrin And iht-n, to show his independents* to women, Ctptain Sub straightway sei about pr- P'iniig his evening meal.

and exciting chase, in which

ickie rmidered effective sod noisy ser vioe, one of ihe unfortunate fowls wa* run down, deoapitated, plwked on the spot, aod summarily plunged into a pot for boiling.

It i» due to the Captain to say that the Idea of cleansing the inside of tin fowl had never oc urred to him. else, doubtless, that little matter would have b«eu attended to.

Poor CUptain Tiller! He never suatpected Anything wrong until be at tetnpt *d to' take the putty-like tnass of 'dough from the oven, and t» cut Into the bulled fowl. And tben both t»re*d and fowl followed the

beef,

and Pickle

feasted, to his own faney, royally that day. And ir anything could have added to Captain Seth's bitterness of feel dug, it was hearing the derisive laugh of

Mres Hesper Bittlngs, who bad witBowied tbe whole of ids proceedings in ?the b.«ek yard, and also beheld tbe exit ot the savory viands through the kitchen wiudow.

Not that Miss Bittlngs or Captain 'Tiller were Maliciously inclined by nature. Their mutual enmity bad origi nated in a feud between Captain Seth's terrier, the aforementioned Pickle, and

Miss Keeper's tortoise-shell oat. Pink. Pink waa partial to her noon-day sciesta ou the top of the paling separating tbe two lots, which proceeding Pickle regarded as an intrusion upon bis personal rights, and resented accordingly. The lady took part with her oat, and the Captain espoused tbe cause of his dog. tptaiu Seth callod Miss Hester a spiteful cat, and she retorted by informing hUutbat'he and that other dog'were the pest or the neighborhood. Hence the present bitterness of feeling between the two.

The Captain went out and got an expensive, unsatisfactory and b/»dly cooked supper, at the only public house in the iiule seafaring town wherein he reaided. He came home cold and miserable and, unablo to find the matches, groped bis way to bed in darkness. The morning brought Mm no comfort. Th' re were things to be *set to rights,' "chores' to do, pots and pans to be scoured, bis clothes to be mended and washed and Captain Seih looked amuud with a aort of despair. For the ftrst time in his life there dawned upon bis mind a perception of tbe usefulness

for a day or two the Captain led this misdrabl* mode of existence, and as the time approached for embarking on bis next voyage, he looked upon that and Jbls prospective return with a species forlorn horror. 'Somebodv'll break into the house and rob It thought be *or the tbing'H get musty and mouldy, with being shut up without anv fire and— look at them dads o' mitwv

H# frowned wrath fully at a heap of sailor's Clot bee lying iu the corner of

•f repairing jtept them so neat and whole. •Look 'ere,' wild Captain Tiller, He

ar,

and with his back to tbe stove, his astride, and his hand in his pockets, Apostrophising the furniture. In ge»«jral. %£jok. '«*«, this state o* things won»tdo

no longer I've bad enough of it. A man can't be expected to live a wild Injun. I'll get married!'

Captain Tiller was a man of his word, and who, having made up bis mind to a thing, was sure to act promptly upon it. He nat down, now, qii a three-legged stool before tbo fire, and leaning bis elbows upon his knees, meditated. In tbree days he would anil, wherefore there was a necessity for prompt action,

Let's see,' %aid Captain Tiller, thoughtfully 'it'll be better to take a wldder, I guess. Widders are more steady than t'others and more used to things, and«ron't expect any courting* and that sort o' cons*n«e. Not a young widder, though. Tliej r'o apt to be flighty.' ww .mwwni

Then he mused again, and mased within himself that tbe only one he knew answering to bis requisition was tbe widow Tyron. Yes he'd marry the widow Tyron. And, with a slap on the knee, asof one who bad arrived at a final and satisfactory conclusion, clapped bis sou'wester upon bis head, buttoned up his pea jacket and betook himself to that lady's abode. 'Good mornin', widder J' said Captain Setb as, in answer to his knock at the door, Mrs. Tyron appeared in tidy cap and apron, and with her bare arinsdusted witb flour, while an appetizing odor of cookies issued Irom the comfortable kitct en.

At that smell, the visitor's heart enlarged, and his nostrils expanded as those of a war-horse who bears from afar tbe din of the battle, 'Why, laws-a-mercy!' is It you Cap'in Tiller? Hope uothin's happened—leastwise st nee Nancy's ruu away and got married -Th it'sjest it, widder,' responded the Captain, gloomily shaking bis beau. 'That's jest what is tbe matter. How Naucy came to make such a fool of herself, when sbe'd a good home, and clothes, and victuals, and tbe whole bouse to bersell when I'm away

Now, tbat(s what I call onreasonable of you, Cap'in Seth, interrupted Mrs. Tyron. seriously taking up the cause of her sex, as she wiped the fiuur irom her hands, and out of tespect to ber visitor sat down to ber knitting. 'A woman's a woman, and mustn't be expected to deny herself everything for sake o' clothes and victuals. She must nev somebody to keer for ber more than a brother's

likely

Oh, you want me to keep bouse for you, mebbe,' About that,' replied the captain, staring steadfastly into tbe fire.'

What celery Why, 1 wasn't jest calculatin' upon a salary. I thought we might go into partnership together, if it's agreeable, /'m a plain business man, as you know, widder and all I've got to say is, that if ou'll be Mrs. Captain Seth"Tiller—' 'Stuy a miuute, if you please, cap'in!' 'xclaimed the lady, hastily jumping p. 'I do believe them cookies is burnim

He waited patiently while she busied hertelf about the oven. Tnen she came iaek, wiping ber -heated face on her eati apron, and placidly resumed her seat and her knitting.

Well widder. what's the agree inen inquired the suitor, then. Why, you see, Captain Till r,' she answered, slowly and thoughtfully.

I've been considerin' of it while tentlin' tbem cookies, and I about made up inv iniud that I needn't be in a hurry marry again. I've had my share ol a wife's trouble, and I feel like takin' a little r«st to myself now, as I go downward Into the vallev of the shudder, where we'll all find our everlastin' rest.' 'I might, perhaps, help you on the way, you know,'said the captain, argumentHtirely. 'I'm obliged to you,'she responded, with a sigh, 'but I'm pretty strong yet, thanks be to goodness! and can get along well enough without help—leastwiR1, tor a spell longer.'

Well,' said CaptMin Tiller, slowly rising, 'if that's your resolution, I needn't waste no more o' your or my V.tlUHble time about it, I calculate. Good mornin widder!' •Stay a minit, cap'in 1 Won't you have some cookies and a cup o' tea afore you go?'

No, thank you, marn. I'mobleeged to you the saiuv, Good mornin'.' And tbe captain walked homo, and sat down on tbe threelegged stool, and g.ized into tbe fire, as before.

The result of this wooing had been to him altogether unexpected. Here was a woman had actually received and rejectee .proposal without giving it more than a moment's thought 'I gueesshe's tv*» old and worn out, as she says,' be cogitated, 'and I must look out for a younger widder, who'd likely not be inclined to think so bard of the matter. Th-«'s Miss Fullershe as was Melissy Hi wn. if I remember rightly. She's 'bout thirty. Bather tooy«ungfor inv ideas but I s'posel must put up with it.'

No sooner thought of than acted upon. Miss Fuller was in her garden planting hollyhock roots. She wore a fiouitCt*d eaiico dress and a girlish white apron,elaborately ruffled,and looked, as the captain thought, like a taut-rigged scboouer under lull sail. For an instant his heart misgave him tough he felt reassured by the gracious smile with which he wa« received, as the ymug widow furtively adjusted ber iront hair beneath her son bonnet and gave the latter itself a coquettish tilt ou her bead. •.Well, Miss Fuller, you're preparin' for spring betimes, I setv Fancy garden truck—eh

To be sure, Ciptain and other pretty things. Don't youf answered she, with a sidelong glance of btfr black eyes.

Well, I scarely know,' replied the captain, doubtfully. *To my mind there's nothin' prettier than—* 'Than wh»t?"urged Mrs. Fuller, pretending to look unconscious.'

Well, I guess there's some sense in tb'it. widder,' quoth the captain, s( ratehng his kead under his sou'west'and I rather rejiued to bvar you xpress them sentiments sein' as it'll likely help us toau agreement on a pint I've come to propose.' 'Ah said Mra. Tyron. putting back tbe border of her cap and prickiug up her ears.

You see,' resumed he, in a businesslike manner,'a man can't do to bum without a woman to look around and see arter things. It's their business, you know. We can't go rubbiu'aiid -crubjjin' round iu the kitchens an,d »ed rooms. Now, I've heerd from Nancy that you're a notable bouse keeper and manager.'

But cats and dogs ain't human critters. Miss Hobson,'said Captain Tiller, insinuatingly.

I IV*' on I don't need to be told that, ci.,'tain. They ain't bumau creeters, bin sometbiu' better, if anything,'

Not equal to a husband, may be, Miss I'obson—*.r baby A v. hat!' shrieked Miss Charity, fiercely glaring over her spectacles.

On, nothin' perticular. Only I'd think it would be a melancholy thing for a woman to be all alone with a loto' cats and dogs, as she's gettiu' on into the downhill o' life, and'—he remem bered Mrs. Tyron's expression—'and the vail o' ibe shadder. Cats and dogs can't Ilea away the wrinkles from her face, nor bring down ber grey hairs with—pleasure to tbe graw.

Capi'n Tiller,' said Mas Hobson, laying down on her lap the btockim she was knittiug, and looking at him with a flush on ber sallow cheek— apt'n Tiller, I'd like to kuow, once for all, what you mean

He saw tba't she was angry. He didn't know why—but be felt it incumbenton hiiu to soothe and please her. So he drew bis chair across the floor, and sat down close beside her.

Come, now, let's you and me have a friendly understandiu' together,' said be, leering coaxiogly into ber face.

I'm sure I've got nuue but the softest kind o' feelings to'ard you, and I don't see why you sbould'nt recipercate.' And, to add point to bis words, be put his left arm across the back of her chair, and with bis r.ght forefinger touched ber delicately and playfully iu tbe ribs.

Miss Charity Hobson bounded from her seat as thought a bomb-shell bad exploded beneath it.

Git out o' this house,' she shrieked. 'I'll let you know how to come round sassing a lone woman, and in ber own house, too! Here, Blinker! Ht bim! Ketch hi in t* and with Blinker at his heels and Miss Hobson following wrathfully in bis wake, the innocentmiuded Captain Tiller made his exit from the house which he bad entered with such amiable Intentions.

Very dejectedly he walked home. It wasn't such an easy thing, after all, to get a wife and he felt for the present completely discouraged from any fur ther attempt iu that line. Moodily he sat down On the bottom of tub—he rarely took a chair, unless compelled— and he mused upon his adverse fate. He felt humbled and forlorn.

Please, sir, missis have sent you some supper,' whined a very small voice behind him and the captain turning,beheld Miss Hesper Billings's suiaSl servant, beariug in ber arm a very large tea-tray, laden with good things. There was a pitcher of steaming coffee, a plate of hot, buttered oakes, a nice steak with onions, and other

good things, all done to the point ol perfection. Poor Captain Tiller's bear' warmed ai the olgbt, even in tbe midst of hs astonishment.

You don't mean to say,' be remarked to (be very small servant—'you don't mean to say that she—that Miss Bit tings sent me these 'ere fixin's?'

Yes sir, she did, so,' responded tbe diminutive handmaiden, eagerly. 'She s*id she couldn't abide to see even adog livin' in such away and eating slch victuals.'

TEKRK-HADTE SATURDAY EVBWINO MAIL. JANUARY 3. 1-7

'Youdon't mean me?' •Well, p'raps I do mean you.' 'Humph!'said tbewidowwit of ber sun-bonnet, and a abort laugb. 'Well, I must say this is a queer way to come a eourtiu'!' 'Ob said the sailor, a little crestfallen, *1 don't set up to be much in tbe court in' line, like tbe young sparks hereabouts. You and me ain't neither one ot us chickens, you know, Misst Fuller so we can arrange sensiblelike withottfaaay nonsense ot that kind*? 'Arrange what?'iBquired the lady, flashing her black eyes rather ominously npon the captain.

Why, about our marriage, you know.'

As if I would have you!' she burst forth, augrily. 'A man that walks into uiy garden suddeuly, in his workday olothes,and, without evensettln'dowu or sayiu'a word o' courtin'. for decency's sake, tell me I'm no chicken, and asks me downright to arrange lor marrying him, jest as he'd ask to buy a green goose, or a sucking-pig for his Sunday's dinner!'

And without auother word, the Widow Fuller flounced into the house, while tbe disappointed suitwr walked rather blankly out at the gate. 'They're a hard set. tb*m widders,' be meditated. 'I'll give 'em up, I guess, and take a single woman. But I won't bev a young, skittish one, to be rampaging about while I'm out o' tbe way. There's Miss Charity Hobson. She's a good manager, and I guess she'll do 'bout as well as any.'

He bad turned in the direction of Miss Charity's bouse, wheu be remembered Mrs. Fuller's bint about bis clothes. So, be went home, put on gorgeous flowered vest—kept for State occasions—rubbed a handful of bog's lard into bis bair, anointed bis boots witb the same, and set forth with renewed vigor on his wife-huutiug expe dition.

Mis- Charity looked up grimly as he entered ber neat kitchen, and placing a chair for him, herself took auother at tbe opposite side of tbe room.

It wasn't her custom to receive th visits of single men alone in her bonse, as she often said.

Perhaps, because they never came!' said the neighbors. You've lookin' uncommon well, Miss Hobson,' said the captain, planting bis bauds on bis knees, and gazing at her with what be meant to bo an amiable smile—mindful, from his late experience, that it iniaht be uecessary to do a little In tbe courting line before popping tbe question.

I'm pretty well, I thank you,' responded the lady, drily.

And nionstrous snug and comfortable lookin',' resumed the suitor, glaucing around. 'But ain't you a little lonesome at times?'

Not I! I've got a dog and two cats tbem as you see there and mean to hev a mot-kin' bird as soon's Jabez Long can git oue lor me. So, I've got no r«a8ous to be lonesome.'

The captain wasn't offended. Ho felt

I like flowers to much subdued for that now and, besides, the sight of that snpper tray would have overcome any reeling of rising wrath in bis bosom. He was even sensible of a glow of gratitude, and, under tbe influence of this emotion, he look down irom the iMantlesbelf a stuffed, green parrot, glued to a sea shell, and thrust it into the hands of tbe small maiden. 'There, my I eel legal,' be said,'there's something for yoor trouble and say to your missis, I'm highly obleegod for her

K'lidness.' He emptied tbe contents of tbe pistes and dishes into crockery of his own, and, without thinking of washing the former, sent them back to their owner, together with tbe small model oi a flahing-smaok, wroaght by himself In

his bonrs of leisure while on shore, is Miss Hesper laughed when she beheld these things.

Poor man,' she said* *b» h«sn't cots bad heart, afteriall andTt would be% pity to let bim Starve.'

So next day^she sent him add cooked dinner.

'Miss Hesper,' said Captain Tiller^ that afternoon .rather shyly, addressing her as she sat at her window, sewing wouldn*kyg|POie to hev your fence paling fixed tip S bit? I see they're broke through.'

Why, it would be

convenience

to have them'palings mended,' ahead mitted. Whereupon Captain Seth set to work and. with hamoau*r «nd iuttls, u*Httli^Ay repaired the fence.' •Jest call on me whenever you're in need o' slch iobs,' he remarked, amia bly, when it was completed. 'And I'll do your cooking for you while you're asbore, captain,' responded tbe grateful Miss BittingS.

A sudden light flashed on tbe mind of Captain Setb. Why had he never before tbouvbt of this?

Miss Hesper, you don't mean to say that you'll rorgive Pickle for worryiug your Pink

Why, be is a worriting dog,' the lady replied, dubiously. I'll send bim away!' said the captain, magnanimously.

La what an idea, captain Oh, no! let the critters alone. I dare say they'll yet be friends, after a while. It's all our duties to be friendly to one another, you know.'

To be sure,' acquiesced the captain, heartily. Wherefore, it follers that

you and me ought to be triends, as well as Pickle and Pink.' 'I,m sure I've no wish to be otherwise with anybody,' said Miss Hesper, looking down quietly at ber knitting.

Then,' said the captain, slowly, and somewhat diffidently, mebbe you wouldn't object to

To what, Captain To enter iuto a kinder partnership, you and me together—to be a help to one another.'

I'm willin' to do whRt help I can for you and my fellow-creeters, I hope and believe,' responded Miss Bittings, piously. 'Its my duty, when I see a forlorn body in need ot help, to do what I can to make 'em comfortable.'

After this, very few words were necessary and an hour subsequent, Captain Seth Tiller was seen witb a beamiug countenance, entering the gate of Parson Dempster's yard. And the next day the twain—that is. Captain Seth Tiller and Miss Hesper Bittings— were made one.

That evening, as be sat at a luxurious snpper with his wile, to tbe great admiration of the small band-maiden,and tbe apparent bewilderment of Pickle and Pii.k, the lollowing note was leu for him

Captain Tiller, I've been considerin' of what you said, and, as second thought's wisest, hev come to the con elusion that it will be a comfort to hev a band to help me down into tbe valley of tbe shadder. Yours truly,

WIDDKK TYRON.'

Durn the valley o' the shadder!' exclaimed Captain Tiller, throwing aside the note, and betaking himself anew to his oysters.

The tempting bivalves were scarcely disposed of, when a hard knock at the door heralded a hard voice, which enquired: •Oapt'n Tiller to hum

Yes'm,' responded the small handmaiden, promptly. Then give him this,' said the bard voice and a bit of paper, lolded triangularly. was thurst into the girl's baud, while hasty steps were beard re treating.

The paper contained these mysterious words, iu pencil: It Captain Tiller be will step around at Miss Hobson's—and hopes he will excuse Blinker, which she knows and believes bis intentions was not to be rude to ber, and a mistake on H.'s art—I will be much pleased to see im. C. H.' burned if I go,' muttered Captain Tiller, lighting his pipe.

Wtiy, what's it all about?' enquired bis bride, glanciug somewhat suspiciously at tbe two notes.

So the captain told her. 'Humph!' said Mrs. Seth Tiller and she sat thinking, rather moodily.

You see,' su^nested her spouse, de precatingly, 'I hadn't an idea then that you'd hev me.'

Mrs. Tiller was a sensible woman, and she accepted the explanation without more ado.

Please, sir,' said the maid, with very big eyes, 'here's a boy come and brought another letter.'

Let's see It,' said Mrs. Seth, exercising her matrimonial privilege. And she read alfiud the following, written on pink-tinted paper, and sealed in embossed envelope:

DKAK CAPTAIN TILLEK:—Been expecting you rodnd to-day. Hope no offense as you know when a woman's took by surprise, she's obliged to say what she don't always mean I'm to home this evening from 7 t6 10. •Truly yours,

N MELISSA FOIXBB.' WeU,*'^»fi5 the captain, running his fingers through bis hair, 'if this don't beat all I ever saw 1 Rum critters, thuin women 1'

And bold enough, some of 'em,' joined in Mrs. Tiller. 'To be making proposals to a married man 1'

Why, you see, they don't know yet that I am married. •Then, best let'em know It at once. Soppose you accept all their Invitations right away, and take me along by way ol explanation, you know.'

Tbe capt dn chuckled witb an inward appreciation of bis bride's cleverness and wit. He took ber advice, and tbe pair made their round ot bridal calls much to tbeir own satisfaction, if not to hat of tbe recipients hereof.

Mrs. Tyron sigbed, Widow Fuller laughed—somewhat hysterically, it must be confessed—and Miss Hobson talked of a suit lor breach of promise. Not one of the three ever forgave bim.

HOW YANKEiCH COOKBEA2t8.

This is tbe way down-East lumbermen cook tbem, wbo eat tbem twice a d*v for four or ftva months each year:

Take one quart of beans first seak, if pea-beans, until they are swelled full it will take over night certain if yellow eyes, parboil until tbe skins orack open wben blown on witb tbe brsat drain off tbe water put about two-thirds of tbe beans in tbe pot put In about one and one-half pounds of salt fat pork, than tbe rest of tbe beans bake not less than twelve hours, first covering the beans with hot water. These are genuine Yankee pork and beans. Tbe way they are cooked in tbe woods is this: A bole is dog at tbe foot of tbe fire, filled around with hot ooals and covered with hot ashes, where it remains from three o'clock p. M. until breakfast the following morning—about fourteen or fifteen hours. There are probably more beans eaten ia Maine than in the whole state of
