Sih and TO sts, | NO. 895. EVENING STAR. THE HUSKING FROLIC. The barn was a vast rustic bower that night. One end was heaped with corn ready for busking; the floor was neatly swept; and overhead tho rafters were concealed by heavy garlands of white pine, golden maple leaves, and red oak branches, that swept from the roof downwards like a tent. Butternut leaves wreathed their clustering gold among the dark-green hemlock, while sumach cones, with fiame-colored leaves, shot through the gor- Seous forest. bra s. The rustic chandeiicr was in full blaze, while now and then a can- | dle gleamed out through the garlands, star- ring them to the roof. Still, the illumination was neither broad nor bold, but ehed a deli- tous starlight through the barn, that left much to the imagination, and concealed a thousand little signs of love-making that would have been ventured on more lily had the light been broader. But the candles were aided by a OF sparkling eyes. The air was warm and rich laughter and pleasant nonsense, bandied trom group to group amid the rustling of corr- husks and tae dash of golden cars, as they fell from the heap that swelled larger aud larger with every passing minute. Unele Nathan's great arm-chair had been placed in the centre of the barn, just beneath the hoop of lights. There he sat ruddy and smiling, the yery impersonation of a ripe har- vest, with an iron fire shovel fastened fo some mysterious manner across his seat, a large splint basket between bis knees, workiog away with an energy that brought the perspi- ration like rain to bis forehead. Up avd down across the sharp edge of the shovel he drew the slender corn, sending a shower of golden kernels into the basket with every pull of bis arm. and stooping now and then with a well pleased sinile to even dowa the corn as it rose higher in his basket. Oar old friend Salina sat at a little distance, with her fiery tresses rolled in upright puffs over each temple, and her great horn comb towering therein like a battlement. A calico gown with very gay colors straggling over it, like honey suckles and buttercups on a hill- ide, adorned ber lathy person, leaving a trim foot visible upon a bundle of stalks just within rangé of Uncle Nat's eye. Not that Salina intended it, or that Uncle Nat had any par- ticular regard for neatly clad feet, but your strong minded woman has an instinct which is sure to place the few charms sparsely distrib- uted to the class, in conspicuous relief on all o2casions. As Salina sat perched on the base of the corn-stalk, tearing away vigorously at the husks, she cast an admiring glance now and then on the old man as his bead rose and fell to the wotion of his hands; but that glance was quickly withdrawn with a defiant toss of the head, for Uncle Nat’s eyes never once turned on the trim foot with its calf-skin shoe, much less on its owner, who began to be a little ex- asperated, as maidens of her class will be when their best points are overlooked. ‘‘Humpb!’’ muttered the maiden, looking down at her calico; ‘one might as well have come with a linsey woolsey frock on for what any body cares.’ In order to relieve these exasperated feelings, Salina seized an ear of corn by the dead silk and reug away the en- tire husk at once; when lo! a long, plump ear appeared, the very thing that half a dozen of the prettiest girls cn the stalk-heap, had been searching and wishing for all the evening. The discovery was hailed with a shout The ossession of a red ear, according to the estab- ished usage of all husking parties entitled every gentleman present to a kiss from the holder. The barn rang again with the clamor of Voices and the shouts of merry laughter, There was 2 genere! crashing down of ears upon the corn heap. The reguish girls that hall failed in finding the red car, abandoned work and began dancing over the stalk heap, clapping their Lands like mad things, and sending shout after shout of merry a that went ring- ae Catena among the starlit evergreens over- he. But the young men, after the first wild shout, remained unusually silent, looking sheepishly on each other with ashy unwillingness to com- mence duty. No one seemed urgent ta be first, d this very awkwardness set the girls off like mad again. ‘There sat Salina, amid the merry din, bran- diehing the red ear in her hand, with a grim smile upon her mouth, prepared for a despe- rate detence. ‘What's tho matter? why don’t you begi cried a pretty black eyed piece of mi from the top of the staik heap; “why, ” before this time, I thought you would have been snatching kisses by handsful.”? “I'd like to see them try, that’s all!” said the strong miaded female, sweeping a glance of scornful defiance over the young men. “Now Joseph Nash, are you going to stand that?”” ried the pretty picce of mischief to a young fellow that had haunted her d all theevening; “afraid to fight for « kiss, are you?”’ ‘No, not exactly,’ said Jozeph, rolling back bis wristbands and settling himself in his clothes; “it’s the after-clep, if [shouldnt happen to please,” he added in a whisper that brought his lips so close to the cheek of his fair tormesior, that he absolutely gath- ered toll from its peachy bloom before start- ing on his pilgrimage, a toll that brought the glow still more richly to her face. The maiden, laughing till the tears sparkled in her eyes, pushed him towards Salina in re- venge. Bat Salina a no timo in placing herself on the defensive. She started up, flang the bun- dle of stalks on which she had been seated at the head of ber assiilant, kicked up a tor nado of loose husks with her trim foot, and stood brandishing her red ear furiously, as if ithad been a dagger in the kand of Lady Macbeth, rather than inoffensive food for chickens. ‘Keep your distance, Joe Nash; keep clear of me, now I tell you; L ain't afraid of the face of man; so back out of this while you have a chance; you can’t kiss me, I tell you, without you are stronger than I be, and I know you are !”’ * “T sban’t—shan’t 1?” answered Joo, who was reinforced by half a dozen laughin, youvgsters, all eager for a frolic; ‘ well, { never did take a stump from a gal in my life, so here goes for that kiss.’* Joe bounded forward as he spoke, and made a snatch at Salina with his great hands; but, with the quickness of a deer, she sprang aside, leaving her black silk apron in his grasp. Another plunge, and down came the ear of corn across his head, rolling a shower of red kernols among his thick brown hair. But Joe had secured his hold, and after an- other dash, that broke her ear of eorn in twain, Salina was left defenceless, with nothing but hertwo hands to fight with; but she plied these with great vigor, leaving long crimson marks upon her assailant’s cheeks with every biow, til, ia v self defence, he was com pelled to lessen the distance between her face and his, thus receiving her assault upon his shoulders. To this day it is doubtful if Joe Nash really did gather the fruits of his victory. If he did ring of listeners; and Salina stalked away from him with an air of ineffable disdain, as if her defeat had been deprived of its just re- ward. — ty Adruvkard being urged to drink the beverage of nature—“ No,"” said he, “water is dangerous—very.

One vizier remained silent, and on being asked by his master why he did not share in the joy, replied that be did not believe in this easy victory, and offered to prove that the en- Ts army was even then marching towards then. ‘+ How wilt thou do this?*’ said the sultan. * Bring me a she camel,”’ replied the vizier, *‘with a man who knows how to milk !’” The came! was brought and well washed, and the milk was drawn into a clean bowl, and placed, with a man to guard it, on the top of the sultan’s tent. Next morning the vizier caused the bowl to be brought to him, and found the milk quite black. So be went to the a one said : “* Master, they are coming down wy and have marched all night © —— “ flow dost thou know that?”’ “Look at this blaskened milk !’’ “Ta what way has it become black ?”’ “The dust raised by the feet of the horses bas been carried by the wind !”” some laughed at this explanation, but others belisved it, and looked out anxiously toward the west. In ashort time the manes of the hostile cavalry were seen shaking in the east- ern horizon. Then followed the battle in which the Forian Sultan was slain.
