AN AVERAGE MAN,
OTTER wai in love with tho pretty girl who waa stay- iag tvitb Mrs. Cbaso on Miactts street, and. he hariily knew what to do about it He thought that this was bis first at¬ tack. Indeed, be felt sure it was. He reasoned to himself tbat the others could huvo been nothing bnt fanciei!, becnuso bo bad uot been so anxioasly careful to conserve his attitude toward them. He had not lain awake at iiigbt won¬ dering bow be conld pay thorn atton- tions which tbey ironid accept as lead¬ ing np to Horioas things, without at¬ tracting tbe notice of his sister-in-law, nnd inviting tbo oousequent ruiu of bis hopes.
Cotter conld not tell what tactics bis sister-in-law employed to keep hAa (till a widower, bnt bo knew tbey wero efficacious. Sbti never said aoythiog to him ; she employed herself entirely with the 'l>arty of the second part. Any number of times in tbe years sinco he began tn "tako notice," be had seen girls whom be bad fonnd charming, and who had displa^i^ jujt that piquant spice of consciousness, when in his vicinitr, which can sometimes add twenty per cent, to tha value of a protty face. One at a time had fliled him with an emo¬ tion  wbiob he called interest.     One
ISk ^^Igbl o^ sn  interview  with  his
¦ister-in-law. And now that bo was as be told himself—honestly in love at last, he lay airakc nights thinking of ways in which he could lead up to a declaration and yot leove Mrs. Shears in ignorance.
If any man bas tried to keep a te- cret In a town of ten tho-jEand inhalii. taoto, be knows huw hopeless a task Cotter had before him.
It may sound strsnge to say that Cotter bad never been in love beforo, although he hal had a wife; bnt it only aouoda so because it is an uncon¬ ventional thing to put on paper. He had married at twenty-three—or, inore properly npoukingjhsd been mar¬ ried, being passive in the matter. He had been a lanky, rather thy young man who had never had a bomo in hia life, and who know nothing of the ways of women. Ho was a serious fellow, to whom vulgar dissipa¬ tion meant nothing as a lemptation, and wbo lacked the vanity to read the innocent adranoea of young girl& So nntil be met Mias Clinch be had hardly known a woman. Sho was thirty, small, compact, with curls, sympathy, a lisp, nnd arched eyebrows that gavo ber au expresaion ot childish wonder. She treated Cotter as thongh he were bead and shoulders above any otber man; and tbe sensation being new tu his simple heart, he drank it in like a ¦ponge.
Miss Clinch, under ber semblance ot youth, was wearily reminding h«r- •elf that it was "now or never." Her ohsrms hid never beeu thoso that ap¬ pealed to maturity. Men like young girl*, bnt they like them in a nntnr.il atots of bud, giving promise of Inxnri- ant bloom; uot as stunted little roses. At thirty, witb Miss Clinch, it was a boy or nobody, and Cott.'r was at hcr band. Heaven knows, his conquest wa* easy! Hhe marrie.! him in less than six mouths; befura another yoar ¦be was dea.l, having dune Cotter uo partioalar bkrm, and leaving a uot na- pleaaant fading memory behin 1 her. It ia a wi.'o provision ol nature which makes so many inoii tbo vie- tims uf a youthful passiou fur a wu' roan older than themselves, tihe edn- eatea tbem, keeps them free from en- Unglementr, and lets them goi with open eyes aud their rye teeth rnt en¬ tirely throuijb ; Lot iu the freemasonry ot femininity the older woman wbo uarriatt tba boy is a traitor nud a "oal," and when the ioovitablo ar¬ rives, and tbe boy, grown a man, re- alixes that he ha* been tricked out uf the prize of life, she geto tbe scorn instead ot the sympathy of ber sex. No warning in the IIoo'k ul I^roverbs is bad enough to fit her fate. Uut bappil.T Mrs. Cotter died, Icaviok— lea* fortnnately—tbe leRScy of a sis¬ ter-in-law to keep her memory greeu. Mr*. Shears, wbo had l.een the el.l-
a mnrrie.l womairtilone, and tbat no married man shall call at all. When iu tbe course of human cveuts it bo cumes necessary for a citizen to ring a neighbor's door bell, tbe person who auswL'-s it stands in the door witb an inquiring air, waiting to bo told tho caller's bneiness. That it might \m social in character is out of tho ques¬ tion. So C.liter h.ill tu wait two or tbroe days before he eaw Luey Hitt.
Mrs. Hitt wns a widow in tbo lant stages of munrnlug ; and if Cutter had called nt her home, every woman ou tbo block would bave pul on hcr bun- net and gene to tell her most distant kin the delicious piece of news. Cot¬ ter waa the hnnilsoinest and richest man in town, and bis lightest move was (ull uf meaning.
In tho mean time, thfi pretty girl had been walking nml driving with every eligible in town.
Tbe Clarksonville library was partly supported by charity. As there were not enough subscribers to keep it go¬ ing, the liitltos of tbe town took tnrns in acting as librarian, and fortunately Mrs. Hitt's day was uot long in coming. Cotter went up tbo rickety stairs which led to the abode of culture, witb a year's subscription iuhis hand, and sat dowu opposite Mrs. Hitt nt the green magazine table, where be could louk fnll inlo her (ace. it was a pret¬ ty, picasaut face to look iuto, witb little fluffy tendrils uf red gold hair pushed behind tbe email ears, snd a month which had no severity of linos.
"What can I givo you?" sbe asked politely, wben she bal entered his name in tho book. "Will yon have 'Art in Laco Making,' or Lombroso's 'Female OfTender'? 'ibuse nre our new books. Bally IJico wanted to read oue, and Dr. Smitb tho otber, ns thoy are stockholders—" Sho waved hor hand expressively.
"I don't wnnt anything to read. 1 want to know what Mrs. Shears says to a girl to make her give mo tho cold cut."
Mrs. Hitt looked nt bim, hcr bine oyes growing wider, and a tinge of red stealing its way to tbo top uf ber rounded cheek, where two or three golden freckles lay,
"Why do yuu oak me? How should I know?"     " :!^=-r^'
"Becan8e,"Cotter eaid boldly, "yon wero une of tbn girls. Wbcn yuu came hero viaiting Mrs. Ur. Smitb ou Bice ovennc, I—"
"You?    Yea?"
Mrs, Hitt'a color deepened as be hesitated. Ho thought how pretty ahe was when sho bluabed.
"Oh, well—you know. I spent nearly half my timo hanging nbout after yoo, until you gave me to under¬ stand that you liked Tom Hitt better."
"And you think I preferred Tom because Mrs. Shears—" sho Degan in¬ dignantly.
"No, I llo not. Now be reasonable. Out I do kuow that Mrs. Shears wont to aeo yon, and naked you to drive with her in that uld pumpkin phaeton of hers, nnd you never were the same afterward."
"Why did yon thiuk it waa some¬ thing ahe said?"
"It wasn't only yon, but—"
"innumerablo others. Who wcro thoy? I should like to know who else listened to Mrs. Shears.     It will tickle
cried nnd eiplsioed that sbe couldn't i
be happy, because, if her husband ' love.l her as much as ho said he did. he couldn't be sorry his flrst wifo died | and if he wasn't that made him too brutal fur her to love?"
"Well?"
"I'm nut a bit like tbat!"
"Kuow this," Colter said solemnly ; "I never knew what love was nntil I knew yon; I never loved any woman but you."
Lucy looked at him. As a sage long a-jo discovered, whatever a wo¬ man may donbt, that etatomont sbe al¬ ways believes.
"Those others?"
"Figments of my imagination."
.She hold both his: hands, and looked into his face, with hers against bis coat.
"I knew it," she wbisperod, "when you camo in ami asked that question. I think I olwnye knew that you would oome."
Cutter was standing whero he eoul.l see ont of the window. The pumpkin phaeton was going by, with the pretty girlfr>m ttioetta street sitting by Mrs. Shears nnd looking rather un¬ happy. For tho thousandth part of a second Cotter had a sinking of the henrt. It was all up agaiu I Mrs. Sbenrs waa telling that girl that he kissed his wife's picture good night. He gave a "st" of indignant amuse¬ ment ; and thon ho remembered, and looked happily down into Lucy's fnce. —Munsey'a Magnzino.

he  Inughod  rather   luudly  tu  prove her words.
"What was it?" "That was a luug timo ogo." "May^o it was," Cotter said;   "bnt to look at you,  it  might  have  boon yesterday."
Ho lookod at hcr ratbcr closely, as if to mako sure of his words. 'Ihe table was only two feet wide. She had been just eighteen wben she called dowu upon her head tbo contidenoea of Sboars, ond Cotter had not had a good look nt her since. It ia not cus¬ tomary for yonnf; mon to look very closely at married women in Clurksuu- ville ; and Tom Hitt bad been an iu- valid for n long time, nnd had kept hia wife with him.
As Cotter looked at ber now he ro- memberod that sho had bcon the first. A little tingle ran along tho backs of bis bands as he let bia memory carry him back over those twelve yeara. His wife had been dead three years thon ; he boarded with Mrs. Shears, and Lnoy was actually the first young girl ho had over knuwn very well. A liew light came up from the coruors of bis black eyes, nud his voico grew conll- deutial.
"Do yon remombor how 1 met yon? How that akittifh colt of tho doctor's bolted nt the engiue on the bridge? And you nearly sawod hia bead off—" "To keep him frum climbing iuto your buggy I Yei., und 1 remember how he pitched mo"—"intoyonr laji," Mrs. Hitt was about to say, but she thought better of it. "And yon took mo home," ahe went on Inmely.
"I bought that colt," Ootter said. "Ho is out on the farm now."
Xbero was silcnco fur a moment. Wagons Inmbered along Center street and storekeepers oalle.1 sociably from curb tuonrb. Cutter drummed on tbe table with bis lingers, and smilos tucked themselTcs under his mustache. "Do yuu remember the piojio at the island, wben wo rowed home in the moonlight, and—"
"Our skiff stuck fast on a sand¬ bar-"
".'Vnd I bad to carry you ashore be¬ fore 1 could get it oil?"
Mrs. Hitt laughed, but the white territory of her forehead took on the red, as (Jotter, still smiling, still look¬ ing straight into her eyes, with an ex- prensiou tbal mndo ber uneasy, went on, "I was choking over—tbe choks- ble words, when that akiff stuck. I suppose if I bad gotten them out, I shonl.t have Hxke.l you what Mrs. Shears paid—.mly I did not connoct her with it tben."
.K look of .lisilain swtipt tbe blush out of Mrs. Hitt's face. "It took dozens of times beforo you awoke to ihat, I suppose?"
"Xot exactly dozens—" "And" — furiously — "you    would bare marri./d dozens uf girls if sLo bad

Venezocla has suffered somo terri. ble eartbiiuakes, and Mr. Feruhald says that it might hare been well bad thero been a few aotive volcanoes io the country during recent times, to serve as nntnral vents for the pent-up un.lergruuund forces. In 1,l.'iO there wat an enrtbijuake, accompanied by a tidal wave, which swept away tho set¬ tlement of Comana, and tho same plaoe anlTered severely in ITGtJ, after which the ground continued to tremble tur tifteen mouths, Oue of tbo most destructive shocks, by which Caracas was laid in ruins with a loss ot 12,000 lives, occurred in 18r2, dnring the war for independence. "The indirect cunse- qucncos uf tbis disaster," says Reclua, "were even more deplorable than the catastrophe itself. It certainly pro¬ longed the ruinous war probably for years, and greatly intensified its hor¬ rors. The event having taken place ou Holy ThursJay, tho anniversary of tbo declaration fuf independence, the priests, nearly all ot whom lielonged to Ihe .Spanish party, declared that ! the band of fn, I had wrought the ruin I IU or.ler to crush the revolution.

It is intorostJag to note that the big tboatro hat has at last been calle.l by its right name, a nuisance, and b.eii turned over to the proper authorities, the low. Too long has tho hat figured as a joke, and, if not as a joke, as a perfectly insurmountablo difficulty, thnt neither law nor urdor, courtesy nor kindness, could alter or uvercoiue. But now that Judge ,Tobuson of Den¬ ver, has, in the worda of the repurt, "approved nn order requiring women to remove their hats nnd bonnets dur¬ ing performances nt the Tabor Orand Opera Huuae," it may bo taken for granted that tbe example will be fol¬ lowed elsewhore. The practical com¬ mon sense of such a meaanre is at once apparen'.. A thing is either a nnia ance or it is not. If it iuterferos wilh other people's rights ami comforts it is a nuisance, no matter how beautiful aud costly it may ba asa bat, uor huw charming is the woman who wears it. And nuisances should be dealt with by tbo law, without regard tu age, colur, or,«ex. Just ono thing remains tu be said.
