To be 6ure, some even of t,he most gailant look ing men are strangely constant to their fiancees with whom time has dealt harshly, jbut with whom ab sence has not broken the spell. But the majority are not; aud with them the long engagement, includ ing separation, has been a mistake and the rootwork of alter misery. bo it is when love burns itself out into clay with the one and re mains bright and clear with the other. Or haply where it has burned itself out with each alike, and 'honor" forbids a frank expla nation. Worst state of all is it when this love has died for the af fianced and wakened up for some one else, with always that grim Knight of Honor standing sentinel against happiness. These are the chances agam6t the success of a long , engagement. But they are not fi nal. For, ever and ever the loving and the constant would rather havo that fragmentary portion, than nothing at all; and that hope which springs eternal in the human breast can do so much fox us when we cherish it! It all depends on the temper and the temperament.

It probably had its origin on the turf, where a custom gften prevails of training a horso in secret 60 that his powers may not be known. A poc oi money as ox ten won oy tne horso that has been kept in the dark. The Etep from horse talk to political talk is not a long one. Notes and Queries says: ' Once upon a time there lived in Tennes see an old chap named Sam Flynn, who traded in horses and generally contrived to own a speedy nag or two, wlneii lie used for racing pur poses whenever he could pick tip a "soft match' during his travels. The best of his flyers waa a coal- black stallion named Dusky Pete, who was almost a thoroughbred, and able to go in the best of com pany. iynn waa accustomed to saddle Petes when approaching a town anu riae mm into it to give the impression that the animal was merely "a likely hoss," and not a flyer. One day he came to a town where a country race-meetme was being held, and he entered Pete among the contestants. The people of the town, not knowing anything of his antecedents, and not being over impressed by his appcararce, backed two or three of the local favorites heavily against him. Flynn moved quietly among the crowd, and took all the bets offered against, ins nag. Just as the "fly ers" were being saddled for the race old Judge McMinamee, who was the tnrf oracle of that part of the State, arrived on the course and was made one of the judges. As he took his place in the stand he; was told how the betting ran, and ot the folly of the owner of the strange entry in backing his "plug" so heavily. Punning hia eye over the ruck, the judge instantly recog nized Pete, and be said: "Gentle men, there's a dark horse in this race that will make some of you smell L before supper. The iudge waa right Pete, the "dark horse,'', lay back until tho three quarter pole was readied, when he went to the front with a rush and won the pursa and Flynn'a bets with the greatest ease. But the story has ail the air of a subsequent inv&ution, and even if trne it does not follow that the judge waa not using a common and well-known phrase.

JL Houston, DruggiL "The twig did not vibrate any more than would naturally follow the jarring motion from walking, and I began to walk about aimlessly, not watching the twig, for I was thinking deeply and seriously ot eome reasonable plan, when sud denly my hands jerked aa if they had come in contact with an electric battery and the butt of the elm fork had curved over and 'downward about as far as it could without breaking the prongs. I never was so surprised in my life. I would not believe it at first. As long as I remained at that spot the twig bent and could not be made" to stand erect, but when I moved away a short distance it would straighten up as before. Time and again 1 walked away and back again before putting faith in the experiment. It convinced me, however, and I mark ed the place.

Louisville Courier- Journal. mat Waste of Material. A well known congressman, who had been a farmer before be went into politics, was visiting his dis trict, not long ago, and in his ram bles he saw a man in a stumpy patch of ground trying to get a plow through it. He went over to mm, ana altera brief salutation asked the privilege of making a turn or two with the plow. The native shook: his head doubtfully as he looked at his visi tor's store clothes and general air of elegant leisure, but he let him take the plow. The congressman sailed away with it in nne 6tyie, ana plowed four or nve inrrows before the owner of the held could recover from his surprise. Then he pulled up and handed the handles to the original holder. "By gravy, mister, said the far mer admiringly, "are yon in the aggercultural business V' "Ji o, laughed the statesman.
