' ' He s'aggered here and there", and at last 1 ( cams to the house of the merchant prince, ' Jooa>.

While the ' father shaved Ezech. tbe daughter sheared 1 bim of bis beautiful black, curly hair. 1 ' The servant was sent to kill tome poultry. Then they pat on tbe young man a faded J brad-hand, an old working-woman's drew • and a large threadbare cat too. Tbe servantSooo returned with a large basket, containing several killed geese.

Here I it was tbst Ezech Elehanan first dtstln- I guisbed himself, lo tbe thickest of tbe light a Swedish officer gave the order fori j troops Jo make a charge. The Poles i well nigh vanquished, aud the offl. i almost fatigued to death, were ready surrender. Tbe Swede bad not time I finish bis eommanu, for quick as a i flash Elehanan flew at him, tore him from bis liorae, and bore bim a pris- . through the bleeding, fighting raoks.

I When the last swful battle was over ■ and Ezech. who had fought like a lioo, all I covered with blood, sank down lo res' i himself, tbe noble Augustine Kordezk', t prior of tbe order of Pauline, approached i aud. taking bis hand, said warmly: i "Jew, you well deserve tbe name of Pale. I heaven reward your bravery." A number of tbe faithful soldier* gathered St F.zepslorbewo BDd. under theguld- I ance of this great priest, prayed for thr i delivery of their beloved land. Their ex- i ample was foltowod by others. Soon it I known throughout the whole king dont; and as ao answer to their prayer* their force increased until st the end of tbe eventful Tear, on tbe 20ib day of Dr. ' ocmbcr, 1615. a confederation against Charles of Sweden, was formed snd the | Kiog John wss recalled.

In a ' moment King John obtained the aid of Denmark, and the tsar soon ended, though not before our ncw.uamcd hero acquired fresh glory: and when, with the treaty of Praga. hostilities crated, to found himself commander of a regiment, and beloved by all the army.

Ac cording b» her wish Elehanan appeared before her privately, and hawing law, sank , on one knee. The Queen, majestically reclining on a divan, bade him rise and "Elchanan-Cracuwsky, you are a - favorite suiting our young women. Arc. . you aware of it?" Elehanan blushed deeply. "How modest you appear— almost tin modest for a soldier and s Polish coalmanderi You have oo cause," continued tbr Queen, '"to blush at your triumphs. Promise to bear roe. i bare a request to i make and a favor to grant you." "It will be my lightest task," he replied, "to do your every bidding." "Then piomlse me to do this." "Willingly as sooo as I bear your Majetty's command," answered Elehanan. "How far-sighted you have become!" said Ibe Queen.

Ezech blushed again, but now there was • a prood, longing look in hia piercing eyes. "Pardon me, your Highnem, if I must I refuse," hs said; "but I have a sweet bosn, on wbooe account I joined your army, and she promised, when I left ber, to t* ■ to me and wait for me till I returned.

There was a sodden knock [ at the door of the merchant Jonas, and as , tbe nhl man opened It two well clothed . persons entered.

And, bursting into tears at ful girl concluded: ."He hat my heart, be ! has my love, and no other can ever win . them." Elehanan could wait no locger. Throw.

The Deeert Made To Bloom. 1 speak particularly of Ainiworth, lie between Fargo and Portland wbicb in appcareocr is less inviting to the farmer. The outlook is ■ imply disheartening. Tbe iowd is a railroad settlement! owing its ex- [ tstcncc to the fact that a big bridge it building over the Snake river at that ; MmI A year or two ago it occurre^ lo a German blacksmith named Schunemanr, who had fuuod it hard lo support bis witc and children in the cast, that this Sahara, ' tufted with sage brush, might not Tic so bad at it looked. He took up a quarter of a section of mgc aud sand, aud bought suite adjoining land of the same tort from ' tbe railroad company, paying (be lowest •rice on tbe schedule. 82 80 an sere. Tuen he began to raise crops without ar. ' tificial Irritation- . "What did peopla say?" remarked Schnnemsnn, cutting as good a watcrmcjon as is often sold in Washington market. "They said I was a d— d fool." Out of tbe sand, stripped of lis aage brush, Mr, Schunemann has raised wheat, forty bushels to the acre, or three times tlie average acre yield of the whole coun- | try and two-thirds of the yield of tbe crack laud in the Gallatian valley. He baa raised oats, barley, millet and rye, all -d excellent quality, aud rraumerative ' quantities. He exhibits pumpkins and ' -quashes, beets, carrots, potatoes, these vegetables being larger and fuller than their kinds we sre accustomed to see ' litem aud eat them at the east. His corn flourishes, especially some of the dented ' rarities. His Uunstoes are creditable. Ha baa planted fruit trees, apple, pear, and peach, aud they are doing well, but ate still too young to bear. Tbe tame may , be mid of tbe small fruita, the raapber. rira and blacttberriea.

d I Sealskin Sacquas. *| "Is it true, " asked a reporter of a leaiL 11 iug furrier, "that sealskin aacquc* are rented out by tbe season?" " ' "It Is true," replied tbe lamer, "loo ' true, and it it injuring tbe for trade- What with the mild weather and the new system r of renting *ut sacques and sets, it will not " surprise me if several of us are compelled 3 lo go into another branch of trade before c the opening of of the spring navigation." "When did the fur-renting business be- '• gin?" 3 "Weil, ills difficult to say. You tee ' business of ill kinds has been undergoing s demoralizing change for- some years 1 past Merchants stoop to things now thai they would not think of doing ten years ' ago. Everything is conducted on tbe 1 sazie principle. For Instance, a clothing 1 merchant invites you into bis store, snd 1 after telling you a new suit, perhaps at a ' small profit, be puts a stem-winding watch ' tn your Tcsi-poehc< ui cbaegs. j» bo- ' thiogfnr it. Then there are other merchant* ' who offer the public as.au inducement to deal with tbem neatly-bound volumes of ' poetry or fiction. Others give china ware; ' others articles of kitchen furniture, and I ' wouldn't be surprised if the lime should come when the average merchant will ' throw in United State* 4 per cent* or ' quarter -sections of improved farm lands ; with a pound of tea or ten yards of calico. Sham! why this is, by all odda, the aham3 miest age. it I may coin tbe word, that . world ever passed through! Go lo a reeep- ■ lioo and half the dresses and jewelery r worn by the ladies are rented for Ibe occa- . slon. Some of our leading tailors do a - big bosiocat in the renting of full-drees ' suits to gentlemen si rates running all the way from $3 to 815 a night. Married people who give dinners, and talk glibly - about ibeir French cooks, hive tbe eaj. ! shies on the table sent up from tbe near- > est restaurant, and tbe neatly-attired ■ wallers are b'.red for that occasion only mt ' tbe same eating-house. People who have 1 friend* come to visit tbem from a distance 1 can rent a handsomely furnished he use or flst for the lime being, and make arrange- ' rnents with a convenient livery stable to 1 have V>ur carriage' scul around, for an 1 afternoon's drive. The silverware on Ibe ! -table it in all probability tbe property of a 1 pawn-broke:, and the sealskin saeque whicb tbe bostca* wears may have been engaged for a week, a month ore season." "What do the sealskin sacques rent for?" Well, a new saeque will bring 850 for t a season of three months. The next year it may bring about the tame rental, and from that time on until it begins lo look j shabby its rental is reduced about $10 evrry year. It is generally told for about ; 850- , "Do you demand a deposit of an amount equal to (be full value of tbe saeque?" , "No, not always. When we know tbe _ parties to be respectable, we trust tbem j with tbe secqoes, providing that tbey pay tbe rental in advance snd sign a contract , to make good any damage which may ocI cur to tbe property. " , "Do you ever lose tbem?" , "Yea but oofoften. Sometimes we lose , track of tbem for a while, but tbey usually turn up all right" "Isn't it cheaper In the long run to rent than to buy?" j "Yte, reslly it is.
