Old Governor Routt, of Colorado, has a way with him that, according to the Chicago News, ties right to the heart of the Colorado miner. Just before the snlo of public land in C'ree le, the new mining town, tho other day he got up and ami 1 wild applatiso madotbc follow Ing speech: "Hoys, I'm no tenderfoot I'm one of you.

Several farmers ncsr WaptkoheU, Olilo, have boj.i inalo tin victim i of two very smooth fruit tree men through a very ingenious tcha.n. A well dross jl man, driving through tho enmtry sell ing fruit trees, would stop at a farmer's houso.

Invitations tobe present were issued to a number of scientific men, aad a couple of carloals of visitor responded. A committee to settle the questions of lesions was appointed, and then the slaughter began. Juno, a hand some little Jersey, was first led out. Dr. "Ilargtr, with a butcher's apron faitenei about him and a long dagger in his ' hand, had stationel himself in the mid dle of the enclosure, prepared to give an exhibition of killing cattlo under comparatively pain 1cm condition. With quick movement he drove the dagger though the spinal cord at the base of tho brato. Juno dropped instantly, and, with a kick or two of the hind legs, was dead. It was the death stroke of the toreador. The veterinary atu IeoU then cut the cow's throat, and skinned and-cut her open, afterward displaying the longs oo a table.

"Mr. K'rlaoJ, you csa hardly expect Annie to regard this matter io a basinets ligiit. It is a matter of heart with I woman, not business. ' "True, true," was the musing assent. Then, looking up quickly as if a decision nJ been reached, he continued: "Well, Mr. Harvey, we must hare time to coosider this matter, say two b weeks. If I were croincr to Dlace a sum of money into some one's hand, I would naturally j be careful about the man, Vou II admit that. Now how much more careful should I be of a daughterl Now, don't infer that I have any thin x igainstyou. I think I hare the rihtof investigation. I have set these two weeks for the three of us to consider if this marriage is the best thing. Meet me here two weeks from to-night and you shall have my answei." He picked up his paper as a signal that the interview was ended; and James, withdrawing, rejoined An ale in the p trior, where he reported the remit. Three days later a man came to the railing near Harvey's desk. He recog nized him as John Clawson.a well-known bus mess man of the city who had for merly been numbered amoax the con servative, but whose recvu. actions showed drifting toward thr; more pro gressive methods of the times. "Mr. Harvey," he said, "I have never had the pleasure of knoxing you, but I wish to h ive a private interview with you. When en you arrange it?'1 "I hardly know, ' the book-keeper replied, putting down his pea , "unless me say during the noon hour at Little Corner restaurant." " That will suit mo very we'd. Arriving at the restaurant, Harvey saw Cl:!Von beckoning to him frvn a tVe which w:is srclujel In a fir corner. fter or lerin lunch, tha , merchant bf'in : I You arc surprised, no doubt, so I'll relieve yuiir natural curioiity at ones.

No, of cojric, keen ju Igment is require i to decide what firms, now in trouble, are likely to succeed when relieved, and also, sujierior tact in approaching tue parties and mak ing the agreements. In short, Mr. Hartey, you have beea recommence I as posscaiing the necessary judgment and tact.-" Who are in it t " Harvey asked. "Well, mjjclf, Smart, on Twelfth street ; Trox'.ey, of Grand street, and several other, all capitalists." "Very good mmes, I'm sure, said the bookkejer. "Is Mr. Kiriaa 1 in it!" Clawson shrugged his shoulJeri criti cally, and replied "Oh I no. He would i't go into such a scheme; he's oae of thj old fogies, you kn with a'l duo reipect to you a one of his e nployes. To3 conservative entirely. . He'll go on plodding in the same old rut till he uics away behind the time!.'' "Mr. Clawsoa," said Harrey, with some spirit, "he mis be slow aa I fogy, but he is making money. "(Hi, certainly he is. I doa't expect the new company will ever take old Kir land in ban I lor repairs; bit, vol see, he might be making m ire b more modern metlio Is." "Ye, or losiog what he ha." Ciaasoa smile 1 as he rj,liel: "True, there's always some risk, and I see, without flattering you. Mr. Har vey, that you have the foreiight aod cautious shrewdness you wera reexn meodeil for. Now, something a bo at the offer. It is the intention to make you general manager at a salary far above what you get over in that old rut, aal ia a year or two you'll be mads one of the comj-anr. But our time's up. Think over it; but I cant help ssyiog it is a rare chance for a youog man to feather his nest. They parted, and Harrey was left to a question of judgment. Sodden promises of advancement, however dazzling, un settle one, aod the bookkeeper half wished be did not hare it to decide. But it was flattering. It was no small affair for a youog man to be sought by such men as CUwsoa and Smart and Troxley. Perhaps this was the chance ol his life. But what would Mr. Kirland say to his leavicgl He felt sure, how ever, that the old mere haa t was too sensible to stand ia the way of a young man's advancement. Then, too, his being proffered ruth a place might increase hit import taca la the old father's ejes aad make h'ua more willing - to give him tae daughter. Prominence was as attractive ta Kirland as to any one. He never forgot his own elevatioa, aad allowed none of his ta ployes L fcrget it, Harvey hsd ofte felt that the old gentlema believed thai ho vis coadcsccodiag to spans: to bio. , Here waa a chance to sJaosr him bow he was regarded by others. But there was the old adage "a bird la the hand Is worth twa la the trash.

The merchant wa slow aod dreadfully cautious, but the money wai rolling la front costornvri,' who placed perfect co3deoce la the "old fogy. But, on the other hand. If every ooe would follow that old adage there would bono advancement; la Iter, he world would stand stilL Thinking the matter over carefully,he finally decide! that his best oune wai to candidly tell Mr. Kirland of the pro p. at an i get his advice. Saoaoemire he walkei into the library and again was almost turned frwo his purpose by the appearance of the stem, interrogative face over the newspaper. The two weeks are not up yet, be gan the old gentleman, with a sign of impatience. 'I know it," nsrvey replied, "but I hare not cocue to talk of that, although my decision would no jv be precisely what it will be then. He then exptalnel in detail the offer, aod finished by asking the old merchant' opinion. He pulled his under lif thoughtfully a few minutes before reply ing. "Well, Mr. Harvey, I would be sorry to lose you, but I hare always made It a rule not to stand in a youag man's way, and If vou think this a good chance, I will willingly let you go." "But do you think it a good opening form!?' "Mr. Harrey, you must decide this question yourself. A man shows his worth principally by his judgment. Tab) is an important, I may say a critical question, and your own uninfluenced de cision will be worth a thousand times more than one made from advic. Gjod, reliable manhood is built upon tbe de cision of such questions." Again he pickeJ up his paper and again Harvey withdrew, knowing w mors than before, except that Kirland would not stand in his way. What should he do? His inclination was to stay witl Kirland, because a man who was to be come a son in-law, would surely be unit parrner; but on the other band, did batshoiv independence? Wou'dn't th.? aid merchant think more of him if he punched out for himsellf If he rejestel th i offer,, K rUad might Jiink him too timid to meet the respon sibility snd therefore too,, timid to- have the care of his daughter. The next day came a note from Claw- son informing him that ho must decilo by a certain day, which, oddly, was the next folio .ring the night when Mr. Kir land was to render his decision. That important evening cane, and vjain Harvey interruptel the old gentle man s reading. But he looked up this time without impatience, motioned pleasantly to a chair, and. when the young man was seated, aked: "Mr. Harvey, we 11 dispose ot lesser buines matters firt. I, of course, am interested ia your new project, because if you go, I must get a new bookkeeper; although," he said, wit'.t a slight hesita tion; "I have taken it tor granted that you would accept this flattering offer. and I have already engaged a roan in jour place.' "You have? sail Harvey la supnse. Yes, wasn't it right? I didn't sup pose for a moment sjsu wcs'.d reject such a flattering offer. Mot young mea would be dau'ed by the compliroal and the prospecta of such a position, so 1 arguel that you couldn't resist the n.H "Well, sir, replied Harvey In so tie confusion, "you hsve misjudged roe. The offer wa dazzling, but I hare de cided to remain with your old estab lished business Instead of risking my future on what looks to me very much like a visionary scheme. Tbe old" merchant smiled a little, aad without another word reached over aod tapped a little silver bell. Its ring was instsotly mingled with rapid footsteps and the rustle of a dress; and Annie hurried in. Harrey rose, and could not repress an exclamation of admiration at her beauty and the eagerness of her face. "Annie, said the old gentlemtn. "vou have ha I a que it ioa to decid -between me, yoir own father, aad this young gentleman who says he wants yj-j to be his wife. 'Father,' a ie rep'ieJ, "I doa't Ion you aoy less " "Oh!

It grows with the ra ol welt, and whea once started, 11 taken care of, it wil come up every spring for a lifetime. It grows with great profusion fa tbe Southern States, coming up ia the gardens, orchards aai grain fields, and for several weeks fur-, aisbes the farmers with a dish of tbe most exquisite taste. Many fanners grow it for profit, and whea cultivated aod fertilised it will yield a net prolt of 100 per acre. . Before the plants begin to start la early spring "the dead stalks of last year's growth are cut and raked off the field with a harrow, which loosens tbe soil at the same time. As soon as the youog stalks reach the height of sis or eight inches they are cut, trimmed, packed io bunches of twelve stalks to the bunch, and shipped to the city la crates. The cutting then continues at intervals un til tbe people get tired of asparagus and it does not pay- to ship. After the cut ting Is over the ground is thoroughly cultivated and tbe'plants' are hoed and fertilized. Asparagus can be raised from seed, but in starting small beds the best way is to buy the plants. They can be pro cured at small cost of almost any seeds man and will give the bed a start of at least a year. The sill should be well preps red rich loam and the plants thould be set out in rows eighteen inches apart and a foot apart In the row. Great care should be taken to get the roots, spread. aod well covered. In the Northern States it is best to cover the beds some time in the fall with three or four laches of manure, and early io the spring salt should bo strewn profusely on the bed. Salt is ooe rf tbe best fertilisers for as paragus, aod raw bone is excellent. Aiparagus ia A luxury which every farmer can pout is, whether he lives at the north or south, aod I advise all those who do not already enjoy this most de licicus of vegeUbles to set out a bei of aspsragus this spriag. It will do to be. gin cutting ia a year or two, after which it will be a source cf pleasure ai well as profit. Farm Herald. TAR AXD OAUDE !fOTKf.

They need good manure also, aod will pay for It. ' We csnnot make the finest grades of batter from any one feed; but there Is oo question about our being able to make good butter from ensiUge, although not the best.
