At a certain place a youn couple a front were peacefully standing bv gate, during the twilight hours of moonlight evening, not dreaming ot any one being nigh, while they passed away the few short Iioum that they were prlvilagcd to enjoy together. Sonio mischevious boy happened to be lying a short distance from the gate holding in ins ii anu a string with wnicn lie expected to have some fun when his big sister aud John went from the gate to the cottage door, Tor he was almost sure he would go that far before home.

The boy laid hi wait fer a lous time aud thought lit would never get in to the house to go to bed, when he heard quite a noise, lio thought hrst it was a pistol shot but as he saw no flash and could smell no sulphur smoke, he quick ly made up his uilnd as to what had happened. Then be herd a low laugh, and then the foulest question to ask girl he ever heard. John wanted to know if she liked ice cream, and her answer was, "with all my heart John. I always did love you, and I always will." By this time the boy crept away around the house to smile, and thought it about tiuie for him to "retire and go to bed." He did so at once, and left the question for them to settle between themselves, while he finished Lis laugh and went to sleep. He also wild that his "mamma did not know that he was out," until she found the string lying across the path the next morning, and then it did not take her long to find out hove it got out there, nor to find a nice amooihe shingle just the right size fer a purpose that we will not express here at present.

The farmers are generally in good spirits anu every Body seems to enjoy the pres ens prospect lor a profitable year for Kausas. The dry spell shortened th hay crop to ait alarming extent, and the eariy corn was injured to a certain degree, but the goneral feeling is that mere win be a very good crop even now, especially tr we have another good raiu In a few days. Those parts ol the state that had local rains two weeks ago are especially blest, and will have, as they Have uunng the several years previous to this time, large crops of every kind of grain, except wheat in places where the chinch bug has been.

The object of the class as we understand it, is to give the children a taste for lit erature, aud the character of the litera ture cau be readily decided npon when the name of the class Is given in lull. A moral sentiment instilled into a child will not easily be destroyed and a prac tice of these moral aud christian acts in every day life will so fix theso principles of action iu the minds of the young that they cau scarcely be lead estray. even if taken far from these christian influences. We are glad that such an interest Is being taken, and hope they may be entirely successful with the im portant work before them.
