"This is my daughter, Caroline.
Carrie, Mr. Sloane."
Harry Sloane bowed, and pretty,
winsome Carrie Hervey bowed in re
turn. Harry had picked out tho farm as
a residing place during a business
trip.
After Carrie's father had intro
duced the young people he went to
the bam, leaving the pair seated upon
the porrli.
"A pleasant spot this," said Harry,
after he had finished admiring tho
pretty, dimpled hands which the girl
had carelessly laid upon the light blue
sorgo dress,
"You like it V" she aded.
"Like does but half express my ad
miration. It seems as though I should
be perfectly satisfied to linger here
forever," responded Harry.
"But surely, Mr. Sloane, the attrac
tions of city life must surpass those
of stu b, a humdrum locality as this."
"On the contrary, I 'refer w hat you
call the humdrum locality."
"And why, may I nsk?"
"Because, because well, I cannot
fully explain my reason. I suppose it
is because 1 am heartily sick of city
ways."
"And so you come, here for a
change V"
"Yes, I believe that is the reason."
The pair sat then; upon the porch,
talking upon one subject and the
other, until tin" evening shadows fast
deepened into darkness.
Finally Harry ar..se, and said,
"As I am somewhat tired w ith my
journey 1 will retire."
The girl c alN d her father, ami the
latter taking a lamp led the way to the
front chamber on the upper floor.
Harry took up his travelling-bag, and
after a "g 'od-night" to Carrie, he fol
lowed the el. 1 gentleman up the stairs,
and shortly afterwards was soundly
sleeping.
"He is handsome, and so is J ack. He
Is gentlemanly, and .lack is not quite
so easy. He talks and acts like a real
gentleman, and Jack can hardly ever
lind the right word to say when it is
needed. Jack loves me, and I I won.
dir do I really and truly love Jack?"
Thus Carrie mused alter she had dis
robed herself for the night, and sat by
the window.
Strange, she had never questioned
the fact as to whether or not she loved
Jack. She had always taken it for
granted that she did love the handsome,
brown-faced farmer-boy, who had ac
companied her home from singing in
the parish room on practising nights in
tho winter, and taken her to picnics
and on excursions in summer.
Theirs had been on affection without
any question, any doubt or mistrust to
mar tho serenity of its ilow.
Two, three weeks pass rapidly, and
Harry Sloane finds himself musing
over the possibility of his being able to
provide for a wife. Carrie's lovely
face, her pretty figure and her grace
have been the whole, cause of his per
plexity. Before he met her he never
had a thought of ever marrying.
He had espied a line young farmer
on several occasions talking with Car
rie at the gate1, but she had told him
that it was Jack, a schoolmate, and a
lifelong friend.
One evening Harry was seated in
theparlor talking with Carrie, when a
trap halted at the door, and Jac k asked
her to take a ride. Again, w hen Harry
requested her to take a row on the
lake, she said sho was very sorry, but
she had an engagement w ith Jack.
"Miss Ilervcy, that Jack seems to
take up all of your spare time," ex
claimed Harry.
"Excuse me, Mr. Sloane, not quite
all. I believe I am at .your service
when net otherw ise engaged most of
the time."
And turning on his heel Harry would
leave Carrie. This soon became com
mon, and finally Harry was determined
to end all by ii-ding Carrie for her
hand.
"Miss Hervey, will you walk with
roe along the riverside this evening?"
HX4 Harry pne evening after tea.
"I I don't know."
"Of course; it's another engagement.
No matter, I return to the city in the
morning," interrupted Harry.
"You are wrong, Mr. Sloane; I have
no other engagement. To prove it, 1
will go to the river with you."
She put on her pretty.wide-brimmed
Gainsborough ami walked by his side
to the river,
"It is pretty," she said, gazing out
upon the lako which reflected each
shining star and fleecy, floating cloud
upon its mirror-like surface.
"Pretty! yes, beyond all others I have
ever looked upon." Something in his
tones caused Carrie to look up quickly,
and she blushed as she found his eyes
gazing straight into hers. "Carrie 1
I love you."
There, it was said. Tho die was
cast, and Harry's heart jumped up into
his throat.
"Mr. Sloane "
"There now, Carrie, don't Mr. Sloane
me. Can you not call mu ll.ury?"
"I might that is, if I had known
you longer."
"You call that farmer Jack."
"Oh, Jack and I were children to
gether. That makes a difference, you
see."
"I suppose so. But, Carrie, tell me,
do you love me?" asked Harry, trying
to take her hand in his, a liberty which
she did not seem disposed to permit.
"I I lot us go back now, Mr.
Harry," said Carrie."
"I love you, Carrie. Will you not
give mc just one small ray of hope?"
"I I don't know," responded she.
Harry seemed very much in e arnest.
Jack had never, during all the ye ars
of their association, spoki'n of love.
She, like other girls in common, had a
deal of admiration for a brave man.
And Harry Sloane seemed a valiant
personage to Carrie, since he had dared
to tell her that he loved her.
"Who does know then?" asked
Harry.
"I cannot; I please let's go back
; home now," uttered Carrie.
"Shall we row the boat, the little
' boat down there, up to the stream
I which flows by the house-V" said Harry
pointing to a small boat near them.
"If you wish," said Carrie.
They got into the boat, anil pushing
' it from the shore, Harry plied the
ears. A silence fell upon them after
! the boat had gone a short distance,
j They reached the turn of the water,
: w here the small stream poured its crys
tal waters into a lake. Harry turned
the loat around - horror! the frail
! affair struck against a rock, and in
j another instant they were both pre
' cipitated into the water. Harry, as he
! went over, managed to grasp hold of
the boat, and Carrie, as good luck
' would haue it, found herself seated
securely upon the rock.
I "Miss Hervey," said Harry, "we are
; in a nice predicament."
! "I'm wet through and through,"
cried Carrie.
Strangely enough, the thorough wet
1 ting seemed to take all the romance out
i of both. Herein the water, up to
' their waists, Harry hanging on to the
I shattered Imat for dear life, and Carrie
seated upon the rock, some ten or more
' yards fa m shore, all all affairs oon
1 ne-cted w ith love were utterly vague to
them.
"What shall we do?" said Carrie1.
1 Harry did not reply. Swim he could
not, and he knew if ho onco lost his
! hold he would go down, down to a
J watery grave.
J "I I'm sorry we started. I I
i Miss, Miss Her Hervey, we shall both
j be at the bottom by morning," stut
I tered Harry,
j "Humph! I shouldn't wonder a bit,
poor Mr. Sloane?"
"Wh what do you you mean?"
! "Why don't you do something, Mr.
' Sloane? Swim to shore for another
j boat. Do any thing to get me off this
j horrid rock!"
' "I I can't swim!"
I "Jack can!"
j "I'm glad to to hear it. I I w ish
' Jack was here."
I Carrie then seemed to bo possessed
! of an idea which she suddenly put into
! effect, for raising her voice to its high
I est pitch, she cried "Jack! Jack!
j Jack!"
"Hallo!" a voice In the distance re
( sponded.
"Quick, Jack. Out here in the river
where the stream flows in," cried Car
rie, as she espied Jack's form upon the
shore.
And then Jack dashed into the
water and walked as quickly as possi
ble to Carrie, took her in his arms, and
walked back to shore.
"Help? How am I to get ashore?"
yelled Harry.
"Walk ashore! The water is abbot
waist-deep. You don't want me to
carry you, do you?" exclaimed Jack.
as he walked off towards tlx house,
Carrie, very limp and dripping walk
' log try b'f tidt.
Harry walked to shore. What a fool
he had been. If ho had only known
the depth of the water, perhaps ho
would not have lost Carrie.
Anyhow, ho returned to tho city in
the morning; and I can iissure you ho
never mentioned the little circum
stance. Carrie and Jack were married short
ly afterwards. She. said that the sight
of Harry in the w ater had cleared away
all doubt, anil she straightway know
that she did indeed love Jack!
A Mormon Romance.
When tho overland train reaches
Ogdcn, the agitation of the female
mind about visiting Salt Lake City
becomes evidont. There are always
some ladies going there for the benefit
of their health, and many more to
gratify their curiosity ; for, strange as
it may seem, the Mormon stronghold is
the groat business, social and educa
tional centre between Omaha and San
Francisco. The conductor told us that
there were always ladies hound for
Salt Lake, particularly during tho
winter, when the climate is salubrious ;
yet even in a large party tho members
of the fair sex felt a half-amused trepi
dation in preparing to inspect a society
so entirely at variance with their prin
ciples and notions of propriety.
What, then, w as our surprise to meet
on the very day of our arrival a Phila
delphia lady, a niece of an eminent
Presbyterian divine, who had been re
siding in the capital of Mormondom
for live years! She was a widow, whose
extensive landed interests lay iu Idaho,
and who had found lino educational
advantages for her children, and a
pleasant social circle for herself beneath
the peerless blue sky and within the
circling snow-capped mountains that
bound Zion. She lived in a double
house w ith long French windows, sur
rounded by a blooming garden. Tht
furniture was elegant and convenient.
Church privileges were ample, and she
had some friends among the Mormons.
Her tVtV noire was her landlord, whose
particular offence was his too great de
sire to mako improvements and repairs
upon her residence. His manners were
very mild and pleasant ; but he at last
justitieil her antipathy by sending his
first wife to ask her to be his fourth
spouse. To free herself from associa
tion with him after this, she bought
the house, when he coolly told her that
what she regarded as audacity had
been prospered by the Lord, and ena
bled him to sell at a prolit.
The romance of Salt Lake City is
the story of Libbie Young, and visitors
are sure to hear it as an illustration id
how love rule's the world. Libbie.
Young resided in Philadelphia. One
ef her relatives was the second wife of
Brigham Young, Jr., and while visiting
her husband fell in love with Libbie,
and Libbie became infatuated with
him. She refused to marry him, how
ever, unless he discarded his w ives
an agreement which, strange to say,
was agreed to. Brighton, Jr., then
made a settlement on each of them,
and he-and Libbie' were married. They
lived happily until the death of old
Hrigham induced his son to look to the
succession to the presidency, when, to
strengthen his influence with the
church, he took to himself two new
wives. On this Libbie left him, and
ever since both of them have broken
hearts. She still maintains intimate
relations will his former wives, and
frequently visits them ; and when she
goes to Salt Lake, Brigham hovers
around her residence to get a glimpse
of her, but she will not see him. And
yet everybody says she loves him and
he still loves her, though ambition
proves the strongt-rj passion. Lippin

What the Itraln Does. j
It is a well-known fac t that people
whose limbs have been amputated tell j
you that they can feel their fingers and j
toes for a long time afterward for :
vcars, sometimes and will even do i
scribe pains and definite sensation9 j
affecting certain joints of individual
di"its. This is reaelily understood j
when we remember that the brain is
the only part of the body tint feels, all
sensations and impulses being conveyed
to it from different parts by nerve
fibres. Feelings of pain, heat, cold,
touch, and the functions of the special
senses are telegraphed to it; and when
the connecting nerve is divided it may
be some time before it learns to local
ize truly the seat of the sensation it ap
preciates. When wo knonck our
"funny bones" we experience a thrill in
the little finger and inner Ixirdcr of the
hand; the fact being that w e have stim
ulated the bundle of telegraph wires
known as tho ulnar nerve which
transmits sensations from that finger
and part of the next, in the middle of
its course, ns it winds round the joint

was a few weeks ago cornered in the

"Sir! you have owed me t--r for a

what you are going to do about it?"
"Well, I'll think it over."
"There will be no thinking it over,
my friend. I f you don't pay me I'll sue

"You will?'
"I will, sir!"
"Then you'll be certain to get a judge

I The Harvest Mouse.
The well-know Harvest Mouse (Jj
rumys mi it tit us ) is the smallest exam
jileufthe mammalia iu F.ngland, ami
nearly in the World. This elegant lit"
tie creature is so tiny that, when full
grown, it weighs scarcely more than
the sixth of an ounce, whereas tie- or
dinary mouse weighs almost an entire
ounce. Its color is a very w arm brow n
above, almost amounting to chestnut,
and below it is pure white, the line of
demarcation being strongly tbl'med.
The color is slightly variable in differ
ent lights, because ea' h hair is re. I at
the tip and brown at lie- base, an I
every movement of tie-animal mil orally
causes the two tint to b- alternately
visible and conceal--d..
It is called the Hal ved mouse, be
cause it is usually found at harvest
time, and in .some parts of the country
it is captured by hundreds in burns and
ricks. To the ricks it could neve r gain
admission, provided they are built on
proper stadtlles, were it lud that it gets
into the sheaves as they stand in the
field, and is carried within them by the
laborers. Other mice, however, nr.
sometimes called by this name, although
they have no fair title to it; but th
genuine Harvest mouse can alw ays be
distinguished by its very small" size,
and the bright ruddy hue .f the back
and the white of the abdomen. -Mor.--over,
the ears of the Harvest mouse are
shorter in proportion than those of th"
ordinary mouse, the head is larger and
more slender, ami the ey-s are riot so
projecting, so that a very brief inspec
tion Will Slllllce to tell the observer
wh"thcr he is looking at an adult Ibir.
vest mouse, or a young sp-einien of any
other species.
Mi'-e always make very e'lmfortaMe
nests for their young, gathering to
gether great epiantities of wool, rags,
paper, hair, moss, feathers, and similar
substances.
As the food of the Harvest mouse
consists greatly of inlets ili"s being
especial favorites, it is e vident that
great agility is needed. Its leap is re
markably swift, and its aim is as accu
rate as that of the swallow. Even in
captivity it has been known to take Hie,
from the hand of its owner, and to
leap along the wires of its cage as
smartly as if it were trying to capture
an insect that could escape. In l!u
airy cradle may sometimes be seen as
many us eight young mi""', all parked
together like herrings in a barrel.

The Earth Stiff as Steel.
G. II. Darwin has just published an
important paper upon the rigidity of
the earth. The data upon which his
work is based are the tidal olst na
tions ni.uk- under the direction of tin
Indian government during the past
few years, combine. I with others in
I'ugland and Fran, e-- in ail. thirty
three years' observa- ton at fourtc n
different ports. The w hole t ide at any
place may be regarded as ma le up of a
great number of siuail'-r title s, of vary
ing period. Among tin se subordinate
tides two Were selected for the discus
sion oue with a pcliml of two weeks,
depending upon the distance of the
moon north or south of the celestial
equator, the other with a period of a
month, depending upon the; varying
distance of the moon from th" earth.
Those are free from all systematic
meteorological or seasonal influence.
Now, if the earth is not rigid, but
yields at all to tin- tide-raising force,
the time and height of high water will
be affect fi!. It appears from the inves
tigation that each of these titles is only
a little1 more than two-third- what it
should be if the earth we re absolutely
rigid, and from this Mr. Darwin shows
that the amount of yielding is al -.ut
that of steel, a conclusion agr- ing
ery well with that deduced by .r
William Thomson, some fifteen years
ago, from rather scanty data. Ev
idently this result tlties not favor the
idea that the earth's interior is a nioltt n
: mass.
