COUSIN ROLF-
"Tit out, you oM scamp!"
It was a lirilliant July day, with
skies of cloudless Mut, th" air sivmi' f I
with clover blossoms, and the brook
wending its melodious way under
green masses of peppermint; and Mr
Carey, who li.nl walked a long 1 i r
tanri', and hail just fallen into a doze,
iiih Ifr tlie refreshing shadow of a
gnarlc.1 nlil applorce. startd galvani
rally up at this 1 1 ;! II'" address.
"Ma'am." said he, "I assure you I iiiu
not trespassing; I "
Kilt his apologetic n-il were rut
short ly the rattling of a spoilt stii k
oil tin stKlie wall, close to I : ill : a.iil III
another uinmont, a I fi tr ! 1 1 Ii'Uiu:
I'ctl i'o , I'aiuo pliimritii; tliroii!;li tin'
hifjli grass, directly tnwanl his haven
of refuge.
He started to run, liit. his foot
(, itihing in the (rnarled lout if ;m
am ient tree. Iu fell headlong. The
row rxcctiti'd a hurdle leap over his
jirostrate form, and vanished in a
Hump of liael hushes; and a resolute.
Iirifht-eyed woman, of some forty odd
years, eaiiie to the reseite, with a Map.
pintf suiihonnet tied over her t'ars, and
(he si irk liaiaiii'ed aerossher shoulders.
"Don't strike!" pleaded Mr. farcy.
"I'm pettiup nil' the premises as fast
lis I can. 1 assure you, 1 didn't, know
1 was trespassin;;."
IVsirc W'elland hlu;ihei very pn tti
ly, as she pushed hark the Minl'oiinet.
and endeavored to adjust her luuri
unt red hrnwn hair, whii h had hroketi
loose from its pins.
"Ob. I'm hi i sorry!" she. "It
wasn't you I meant at all. sir; it was
th1; row who had got into the eal'ha;;e.
patch. lid I hit you with the Mick '
Hut 1 never dreaiuel of av one Imt
liossy lieitiR there. Oh. do let me run
lioiue and pet the cample r hotileV"
slowly, Mr. Carey raised himself to
sitting and then to a, stami! ng post in e;
s-lowly ho felt his knees, elhows and
collar-liones.
"I'm not hurt," said he - "not to
signify, that is. It wasn't your stick,
ma'am; it was the roots of this old
tree. It's enough to startle any man,
don't you see? to hear himself called
-an i'ld scainp."
"Hut it wasn't you I mount," breath
lessly cried Desire; "it wai the nhl
cow. Won't you let mr run up to the
house nnd get a caprine plaster? oh,
do."
Desire was fair to look upon, in spite
of her forty summers, with big Mack
eyes, a laughing cherry-red mouth and
cheeks just hrowned with the health
ful hue of mountain breezes. Mr.
t'areyfelt himself gradually softening
as he locked, at her.
"No," said he. "I don't care for a
ranaine plaster. Hut I've walked a
gooil way, and 1 should like a bowl of
coffee if it's handy."
"Oh, pray come up to the house
then," said Desire. "It's only a step
across the orchard. Oh, that cow, that
tow! We must certainly have her
hampered after this!"
"Perhaps," said Mr. Carey, solemnly,
as he endeavored to straighten the
edges of his hat, "you know a family
by the name of Welland who live here
abouts. Two old maids, who manage
a farm all by themselves. Very pecu
",ar females, 1 am told."
Desire stood still and began to laugh,
while the ilecp crimson suffused her
checks.
"Why," cried she, "it us. It's me
and Malvina. We are the Welland
girls.".
It was Mr. Carey's turn to flush and
look awkward now.
"Oh!" said he. "Well, it don't mat
ter. I've business at the Welland
farm that's all."
"Isn't it strange that things should
happen so?" crii-d Desire, opening the
gate into the dim, shadowy orchard,
where scarlet lib'" grew in the tall
grass, and mhiu.i darted in and out of
the drooping boughs. "There's the
house. Von can see it now. Malvina
and I have managed the farm ever
since father died. Philo . that's our
brother has a house and an c.-tatu of
his own, and his wife don'l want, any

Well, every one says. Mere's the place.
And here's Malvina!"
Miss Malvina Welland wa t diligent
ly hoeing sweet corn in a man'.; hat
and limits. Hie was a tall, Amazon
ian sort of female, with high el k-
hoiii-s, hair cut short, and a m,i inline
a of leaning on her hoc. Shv looked

"Oh, Mai', ma. hush!" cried the
younger sister, in despaii. "It's a gen
tleman on business."
In came Hmther Philo from the
ba' k yard, with an author in his hand
"I'll ?" said Hr-tlier piiil... ,i wrinkh d

Mr. Philo Welland strewed up his
face into an expression of the utino- t
caution.
"P'r'aps you're bis lawyer, sir?'

Mr. Can y nodded.

You never would turn a sickly old
man adrift it on the world ?"
"o, I w ouldn't !" s. lid Mis-. Malvina,
thumping her hoe upon the ground.
"Look here, stranger, tell Kolf Well
and he's welcome to a holm: with us.
We live plain, but we're ready to give
him a In arty welcome. Tell him to
come here at once. The sooner the
better!"
"Women is fools," incidently re.
marked Philo Welland, chewing a stalk
of currant leaves. "If you lost what
little you've got, do you s'pose this re
lative o' yourn would raise a linger to
help you? Let every man take care
of himself, say I!"
"And who knows." cried Desire,
brightly. "Perhaps we can get him
the district school school to teach ? I
heard Sijuire I, names say that the new
teacher wasn't going to stay more than
a ipiartcr longer."
"I'm glad vou can afford to take free
boarders," said Mrs. Philo, acidly. "Me
and your brother we can't!"
"Do come in, now, and get the
coffee." said Desire. "And. a few late
strawlicrrios, Mr. Mr.-"
"Carey is my name," said the
stranger, who had stood immovable
beneath the fiery hail of this con
versational episode. "That is to say.
it is my name now. I chanced to
make myself useful to a rich old gen
tleman in the Past, who took a fancy
to me, and left me his property in his
will. The only condition appended
was that I should take his name in ad-
dition to my own. And Carey i. ti't a
bad name."
"Certainly it ain't," said Philo. with
watering eyes. "1 only wish we bad
a few of that sort of old gentl in
out this way. I'd change my name
half a dozen times a day if it would
be any accommodation to 'em. So
you're rich, eh ? Kef soy." I" hi.

"W hat!" roared Pluh..
Mrs. Philo scrambled so hastily to
her feet thai she up.-et the pail, ball

her hoe; and De-ire, who had jiul

Hut Desire was only fori , and there ,
are late roses as w ell a-i early ones. At

j The following curious narrative is
akin I coin the Cape '', iSnuih
i Afriia l V l.nly living in the i ieorge '
i diMrii t supplies the follow ing parlii u :
j lars of the habit of this creal nre: i
"I haveiinieh pleasure in tuiuishiiig i
all the information we have regarding ;
' tin' large frogs whiih have proved so ,
destructive to our y.iutlg chickens A '
i water shut runs round our terrace,1
I and passes through the ground where '
j the poultry range, and in this II e frogs
i harbor. The first time our attention
was ilraw n to their bird eating propen
sity was by the crie of a .'.mall bird in
a fuchsia near the stream. Think'tig it
h id been seized by a snake, several
hastened to the spot, a id saw a beauti
ful red and green sugar bird in the '
mouth of a large greenish frog; only
the bird's head was visible; and its
cries becoming fainter, the frog was
killed and the bird released. Its feat ti
ers were all wi t ami slimy, and for
some days wc could distinguish it in
the garden by its nulled plumage. '
Since then the same species of frog
have nn several occasions been killed
with young chickens half swallowed, ,
and once a duckling was rescued from
the same fate. Whether the noise is
natural to these frogs, or assumed to
decoy the chickens w ithin their reach,
we know not; but they constantly
make a chuckling sound ho exactly like
a hen calling her chickens for food
that we have seen whole broods de
ceived, and rushing toward the sluit
where thev suppose I the hen to be.
The frogs are very wary, and it is dilli-
cult to lind them ( xcept by the screams
of their viet ims. We have o-t large
numbers of small chickens in an unac
countable manner, and now feel sure
that, these frogs must be answerable
for very many of them, as there are
no rats here, and the chickens arc care
fully housed at night."

wa-ilidtobe rich, and I began to m udy
over an imaginary list of cut ipri.e.,.
At last I hit upon radishis. people
iiiu.-t h.u c rail i he ;. They should be
ineveiy store. They iniild be dried
and sold in winter. I would pi. ml
blly act ..with radish seel, and people
all over the count rv would refer to ni"

and I hated him. I was taken to jail.
My wife came to sec mo. but she did
not try to have me release I. I de
manded a trial, but no lawyer Would

whole community was against me. 1
became so mad that my amo r seemed
to hang over me like a dark cloud. It
pressed me to the floor and held me

but one morning the sun ro e and
shone in at me through the window.
II seemed to be the liiM time thai I
had seen the great luminary for
months. A mist cleared from before
my eyes. My brain began to work,
and suddenly I realized that I had
been insane. I called the keeper, and
when he saw me, he exclaimed: "Thank
Cod!" and grasped my hand. I was
not long in putting on another suil of
clothes, ami turning my face toward

a train with a gentleman, and went
