"I have done that often in' ckery,' and found the result very satisfactory indeed. " . ; :T At the jxxstoffice a few day slater ar rived a goodly sized package addressed to Miss Sarah A.

"Smells a deal sight like perf umery. ' Now what under the sun is Ckry Ann Tittis a wantin of so much eweet smeDin stuff, I wonder?" And from ".. wondering, this amiable lady presently fell to conjecturing, and from conjecturing it ma not caKe ner long to arrive at a conclusion, . - -"It's Deacon Smith, I'll be bound, "sho . ' exclaimed after due reflection, failing in all her efforts to decipher anything like a IVjcI through the heavy wrapping. "The pesky thing's sealed, or Pd know wSiat's Inside afore ever it loft this office, vttaj name's not TiUle Sharp. But it's Deacon Smith,-I'm certain of that.

" "Yes, yes," said her listener. "But as you was sayin', Deacon Smith and Sary Ann Titus air- ?" ' "Anything fer Sister Sal? and "Any thing for me?" followed by other in quiries in rapid succession, made a reply from the postmistress impossible, so that Miss Trotter was fain to trot off and leave the matter for discussion to a more con venient season. " ' ' ; " What! Deacon Smith and Sarah Titust Well, well, wonders will never ceasel Thus before nightfall had exclaimed more than a score of female voices; and before the olose of the next day, 'tis safe to assert, not many persons within tho village but had heard the news. " Bat, " said more than one, " the deacon hain't never tuk her to meetin', arid . what's more, he ain't never 'peared to take a shine to old maids anyway; Wid-, ders always seemed to be his great holt,' you know. " . " r " And, in truth, more than one widow in tliat community felt herself considera bly aggrieved at the news. ; "I don't believe it," snapped Mrs, Brown, fair, fat, and forty; "I can't be lieve it " . And in the privacy of her own chamber, I'm fain to confess that this one widow at least, whether justly or unjustly, dubbed Deacon Smith a per fidious wretch, a trifler, a gay deceiver! In the meantime Sarah Titus had not been idle one hour out of the-waking 24. That package from the poetoffice she had exultantly carried to her bed chamber, and securely fastening the door, pro- ; to 6 ' ,t Balms, creams, and lotions ; kohrfor - darkening tho eyebrows ana lashes; a r ; luur "restorative" of a suspicious brown color; a manicure set, and various un guents,' needless to mention. When all were displayed upon her dressing tablo, something of an incipient apothecary shop was presented. , r , "Now let me see," said Miss Titus, re ferring to various clippings neatly pasted in her scrap book. ' "The last number of Beauty Qo&sip said no woman could bo beautiful unless she went through certain processes every day.

The pores to be kept open by steaming" hot baths, etc., etc. H'ml Well, by combining one or two suggestions from each of these writers, I shall within a fortnight see a marked improvement in my appearance, no doubt;" and forthwith Sarah Ann applied herself to steaming, pinching, rubbing, and lathering her faded skin with one or.more of the preparations be fore her. ;. ; That week and the next Miss Titus do- nied herself to all visitors. "Why, the deacon hain't been there this fortnight, "said Miss Trotter, whilo fitting a basque for the butcher's wifo. ."I know he hain't, fer when my eye was off n the front door, one of my 'prentices vwas on the watch.

The deacon seemed to pronounce that one word with a peculiar intonation. - "Our marriage!" whispered Mrs. Deacon- White - to the embarrassed Mrs. Brown, "do you hear that, and still Sarah Ann will keep on denying it, I suppose. " Deacon Smith's ears caught the wliis per. - :-. v - Our rumored marriage," he corrected with a smile, "a rumor without one par ticle of,foundation, permit me to say.

Now there's that marriage of Miss Titus's and Deacon Smith's! He says how he never would hev the courridge to offer even his company to her, but fer that talk, and to think as how. she hed been a liankerin' arter him fer years. " Mrs. Blown laughed ironically.' - "I guess the deacon's courage had been aroused by the rumors of Miss Titus's in vestments," she retorted unamiably, "more than by the other talk. " "But the most amazin' thing about it all," chimes in Miss Trotter reflectively, "is the change in Miss Titus's looks. I couldn't help speakin of it to her, while afittin' on the weddin' dress and says she, with that peculiar smile of hern (I allers did say there was somethin' taken about Sary Ann's smile), and says she, lookin' at herself in the glass, 'Happiness is God's own cosmetic, Miss Trotter.

I knew such treatment would soon leave it shorn of all its plausibility a naked humbng. The men who support this scheme are not, as a rule, desirous of anything that is nnjasi or daDgeronu iu legislation. ' They are deceived as to it) merits, and have not seen that it is in plain opposition to tho Constitution. They will soon rectify their opinions, aud thus illusion will pass away as thousands of Buch fantasies have done. That scheme is of Ite publican origin, and was imported in tho South us "a tab (o the whale." It was brought to (ha South only for purposes of mischief and to deceive an honest, true and cocfiding people. ': It has nearly accomplished its mission, ", which is to divide our people and to fer ment strife between them, and it is abont to give place to the demand for "something better?' that ia to be furnished by those who are excluded from the Alliance and are still held responsible to its demands. I believe that it is the least sensible and most impracticable plan of finance that I plausibility to those who think il is the business of the Government to conduct a pawn-broker's shop. It is a deception that bu been already condemned by the quiet 1rJ""tt of every conmonBense man who has studit-d it. ' - - . But I have not denounced i8 the terms that it deserves, because many , (rood peO' plo have thocght that it possebed real merit and were quietly uncovering its lcxednesa in their own way. Now that it is perishing under the withering influ ence of the light of truth and sound reason the men who invented and matured it in a darkened recess and demanded the politl. cal death of every man who dews not' snp. port it are crying out to the great political parties of the country and all their states, men, "If the sub-treasury will not save the country give us something better." -This demand ia a confession that the Alliance politicians have no confidence in the Alliance sub trekanry.- They alre-dy demand of the outsiders that they bhaJl provide "something batter." I insist that it is too late to call a conjultation of doc ton after they have crauinud their "kill- or-cure" bolus down the throats of tho people and find that they need "something better." If they were statesmen why did they uot r.ee that the cooutry voulJ need "some thing bettet" when they took the. world in hand to cure it of all i.s ills aud iofirma- ties?

WU- Star, The Bepublican politicians are counting upon the good crops to pull theni through next fall, and well they may for they had nothing else to count npon. They wero trembling in their boots at the revolt amongst the farmers which had helped to consign so many Republican statesmen to the shades of privato JLTe !att fall, and rtvo. luticnized the politics of some State which had been Bepublican for a generation. The McKiuley tariff, with the extrava gance of the billion Dollar Congress were more than they could successfully defend, and the most observant .of them expected this fall iu the State elections a repetition of the disasters of ldst full. They did not cheer up at the prospect of good crops un til the reports from Europe showed such wide failure of the crops there and 4hcn they began to pickup courage and cherish some hope. They knew that a large crop without a foreiVu demand meant a large surplus and correspondingly low prices which would add to the discontent of the laruiers and give additional stimulus to the Third Party which was corner stoned on the distress amongnt the farmers. And they knew, too, that in the Western States mot.1 of the disaffective element which would go to make Jip the Third Party would come . from the Republican early. . 1 Hence when the reports of the failure of. the crops In Europe, and impending distress m some -countries were confirmed their hearts were lightened, and their spirits ba. came more joy ful, not that they were made , glad by the possible suffering of others but at the prospeot of escaping calamity . tharu selves. Thy knew that thi?- would make ajieinand, at ood pfl'Jes lor the Burplu,, grain and meat of this country, and their eyes brightened when the Western grain pits became active and wheat jumped from the 87 cents of last year to over dollar a" bushel, and other grain iu proportion. They reasoned correctly that the farmer wno was geiungiue niguest piwo iw m wheat he had to sell would not waste much of his time fooling with a third party, or iu dibcusbing demands which In the presence of overflowing grainaries and full ' wallets become ridlcirAr" ipsw?Uest the govern ment cwneaship railroads and telfjf for instauoe, when the railroads alone would cost $10,000,000,000. to be paid at some time iu taxes by the people, the gov. eminent warehouse system with nothing left to put in the warehouses, and the money-loaning scheme of Senator Stan lord, requiring the loaning of money by the Government at a lower rate of Interest than the Government pays on its outstanding bonds. When people are in good humor and there is a prospect of prospering badividu. ally and collectively they are more disposed to tolerate abuses in government than when they are pinched, find it difficult to make both-ends meet and have to scratch gravel to pay thoir taxes, and possibly this may. keep some farmers in the Republican hulk who were disposed to get out of it, but it would be a poor commentary ou the iutellL . gence or common sense of the farmers cf this country if they would give the Kepub ican party the benefit, and by inference at least, the credit for tho rains and the sun shine and tho abundant harvests which God Almighty hud st-ut them . by this and it may not be.
