her daily taik of toil at tbc district fciiooi tlie litte moantaiu stream was all chok ed tith dead leaves the goordsheli lay bwru in pieces among the yellowing ferns iiicr a lncy stopped to gather up a scarlet vineleaf which still retained its vivid glow the eeltius sun burst from a bank of sullen clouds and seemed to eacjrclc the whole world with a belt of amber light while a sadden curt of frotecened autumuil wind swept the leaf from her hand and sent it eddying fiuuftwdily down the dark woodpath lac sighed it is like an omen of eu said she i was thirsty aud the fpring is fall of leaves and the ehell broken i wanted the bright leaf and the wind haa blown it away and i dont know how i am ever to tell grandfather and grandmother aboaf the district school then quickening her footstep 6he harried down the road never pausing un it she reached au old etecproofed house painted a dull red and half hidden by the giant boughs of huge chesinat trees there had been an old tollgate there once bat it had long been disused and nothing remained of it but a sort of pictur esque arch over the roadway all twined with wild vines and grandfather hall was carrying an armful of wood into the kitchen door as lacy came up grandmother hall was knitting by the fire in her cushioned rocker it was live year since grandmother hall had put her feet to the floor yet she was indomitably cheerful through it all if there was a bright side to anything grandmother hall always found it out if not she set herself to work to imagine one ah here you are lucy said the old man moanifally and high time yoa come the old tarkeyhsn is lost and the apple sass is scorched and lewis crawford haint called for them egga and if they aint sold we shant have a penny to put in the contribution plate tomorrow after the thanksgiving services laws sakes father said mrs hall whats the use of rainin evil news on lucy like that dont yoa seo she looks pale and tired the turkeyhen is bafe in the branches of the seckel peartree i saw her just now and as for the appleaass i doat dislike a littlo scorch myself it gives davor- and im sartin sare lewis grawfordu come along yet it aint late you know and leaning over until you would have been sure she mast lose her balance grand mother hall opened the- oyendpoj to flee how the johnnycakes ytere getting on for corn meal wa cheap and the old lady had a fashion of reproducing it in every possible style granny said lucy with a quivering lip id better tell you at once squire deans daughter is to- have the district achool next quarter they dont need my services any longer they say oh granny granny what is to become of as old mr hall sat down with a groan i knowed there wu iome 111 luok com ing said he there was a rabbit ran across the orchard path when i went to pick np apple riht aqoare croa the path t i fathttr ckmv said ihe old lady b wal mi lowing some sort of a lump in her throat thats clear superstition dont fret lucy we shall get along somehow never j ftar j oh yes sighed grandfather hall satirically we shall get along even if we have to bum up tlie side of the house to keep us warm aud gnaw our fingerends for food things is coming to a crisis now j mother squire dean was over to seo me j about the place today liv to lc sold at j aactiou monday two weekx and id like j to know what is to become of us then ah it was a black day wheu i leut that money i to stephen gregson and burdened the old i house with debt i might have known he 1 was a scamp or he wouldnt have wanted to go away and leave the spot where lie was bora lucy winced at this fhe knew per fee t- ly well that if it had not been for her per- j suasions grandfather hall never- would j hive mortgaged his hoae and inri six per cent beemed a golden iine-t- j j ment and lcsides besides lacy hid liked btepheuv gregsoti with his bright j blue eyes hi r clear voice and his contag- iously sanguine temperament j wlienlve made my fortune lucy j he had said gaily ill come back and i marry yoa j dout talkuousense stephen ihehad said with a laugh rut it had not bcemed like uausense in the secet depcha of her heart she had pondered nrany and numy a time over hi- emphatic word- but thev had failed to come xjvq ilolabi htvphen gregwu hadnt made the expected fortune certain it va that lie had not come hinne to marry her and i lucy wis icgintnj to coincide witii grandfather hallp misanthropic theory that all the world was askew friiudmotlier hall was silent she was glad now that- she had never told her hus band aii lucy uboat the twenty five dol- lars uiat she had lent cousin abby miller i the hoarded tlnrtiof rilver in the stocking- i leg which she had jartcd with to help the friendless old maid to open a little milling cry in the city im afraid its moiiey thrown away thought grandmother hall ididspoe 1 abby would at least have written word i about it but there what is tbc use of crying about spilled milk i dare say abby feels as bad about it as i do poor solitary creetur 1 anyway lacy she said break ing the oppressive silence u theres one thing we have to be thankful for the pumpkins ripened splendidly in the corn- stabble and i guess youd better slice up one tonight for the pie aud father must cat the heaiarkeyfi head off bright aud early it may be oar last thanksgiving in the old place and well keep it as it ought to be kept come tle tea is drawn well all feel better for a good hot cup taint no usev- said old mr hall shaking his head nothing aint no use lacy too was discouraged- grand- mother hall saw it in her face even though she spoke no word they had scarcely seated themselves at the little round cherry table wheu a knock came to the door its the aherill to serve the mortgage paper said old mrhall whose ideas of the law were rather vague its lewis crawford after the eggs said mrs hall more hopefully but it was neither one nor the other it was a little old woman in a black silk hat a respectable cloth cloak and a brown- staff dress miss abby miller herself good evening cousin hall said she- ive come to spend thanksgiving with you and youre kindly welcome chirped the old lady lucy set a chair for abby and take her things but first said miss abby i must pay my debts heres the twentyfive dol lars i borrowed of you with ten dollars for interest and i know coasin hall youll be pleased to know that ive prospered and made money in the milliner business that i never coald have got into if it hadnt been for yoar good nature and generosity and here producing a willow basket nearly as large as herself ia the finest turkey in fulton market and three quarts of cranberries add a dozen of oranges and a pot of gnava jelly my contribution to tomorrows house keeping and if it was forty times as much it wouldnt be half what i owe you cousin hall and misa abby miller failing in an at tempt to laugh began to cry and ended np by hugging old mrs hall with all her might tea waa hardly over before a new visitor arrived on the scene doctor purdy tie chairman of the local board of trustees whats this about squire deans daughter ousting you from your place hifis hall he asked i have been told began lucy no matter what you have boon told said the doctor ive seen mr mcallister and he and i both agreed that yon are not to be disturbed ton suit us exactly and we intend that you ihall retain the position if there were a dozen miss deans to be provided for youll remain ehf gladly if you wish it said lucy visibly brightening up and if dean dont like it he can lamp it added doctor purdy independently he had not been gone half an hoar when the knocker they never had arrived at the dignity of a doorbell at grandfather halls sounded again why cried the old lady who st whore the oould flee the door ltivi stephen gregon of course its stephen gregson said a deep masculine voice and hes travelled night and day to be in time to spend his thanksgiving day with tlie best friends he has in the world and i should have been here earlier cordially wringing the hands of all the group an he npoke if i hadnt stopped at squire deans to clop a stop per ou that confounded mortgage business hes so bharp after aint the place to be foreclosed then said grandfather hbll in a halfcompre hending manner foreclosed shouted stephen greg- son sot if i know it and the thing never would have been thought of if the lawyers i wrote to in new york hadnt been scamps aud cleared out with the money i sent em six months ago to pay up the mortgage however here i ail in time at last with the amount of the ofcbt i owe you safely lodged in the wickmau bank and enough beiides to settle up all costs and charge- why how well you all look and miss abby miller has actually grown young and lucys cheeks are as pink as crape- inynle yes yes lucy our old dreams have come true ive made my fortune and ive come back to marry you ah inconsiderate lover that he was thus to blurt out liis coartship before the old people and miss miller but it never was stephen gregsons way j to lie fecrctije and they all seemed to be as much interested about- it as lacy her- j self but lhe- had the discrefiion not to look toward that part particular part of j the kitchen where the big ushgeraniam grew in a painted tub when stephen and lacy had gone there to look at the new scailet buds just opening oat it seems like a dream 6aid lucy ecstatically as she andstephen together stood at the window watchiog the moon wadi through the masses of struggling cloud grandfather aud grandmother provided for the dear old home all our own yoa back here faithfuiand nn ed aijl oar wedding to be in february oh how can we ever be thankfal enough- while grandfather hau was saying the same thing by he fireside we shall keep thanksgiving tomorrow with good reason eh mother he utter ed and old mrs hall answered fervently i shall keep thanksgiving all my life i both bills were paid j a good story is told of the well known 1 engineer wm a sweet of syracuse casually meeting a prominent lawyer one day a brief coirversation ensued in the j course of which mr sxeet happened to ask the judge what he thought of some question they were discussing without really meaning to ask legal advice in the usual way soon afterward mr sweet re ceived a bill from the judge for legal ad vice 1000 which he paid promptly with out a word of complaint time passed on and one day the judge who was also heavily interested in bait manufacture needed some mechanical ad- rice about some machinery which was not running satisfactorily aud asked mr sweet to look at the niachines and tell him what wasueeded mr sweet looked them over for tso or three hours and in dicated the cause- of the trouble when he went home he promptly made out a bill against the judge for mechanical advice 11500 and the bill was duly paidfuraish- ing probably one of the few instances on record in which mechanics ever got ahead of the law happy jims philosophy a

most won derful and useful inventions become known true source of womans power an exchange says that we do not die ctiminate sufficiently when we imagine that the sources of a womans power arises principally from the beauty of her coun tenance for although it may begin there yet the charm and rascination are also manifested in a whole kingdom of gentle influences distinguishing her from the other sex such as the soft and graceful movements of her person the tones of her vooe the loving moderation evinced in every action and expression her yielding courtesy her serene repose the complbte

evening mr barnum anuounceathat the greatest show on earth woara take place there in a few moments he procured three hats and after plac ing them on the floor procured three oyster crackers which he passed round amongst the company requesting each one of them to pat some private mark on them so that it would be impossible to substitute others after that had been done with great care mr barnum ate the crackers one by one piking a swallow of water after each at the same time making several mystic move ments and repeating weirdincontations he then asked the company to choose any one of the hats they might wieh and the crackers woold be under it bat hes oaten then ap exclaimed sev eral ko he has not said the knowing ones hes got tm up his sleeve i saw him put them tnere after a great amount of discussion one of the hats was selected and mr barnum calmly put it on his head remarking kow ladies and gentlemen the crackers are under the hat you see there is no deception what an egg will do for burns and- scalds notning is more soothing than the white of egg which may be poured over the wound it is softer as a varnish for a burn than collodion and being always at hand can be applied it is also more cooling that the sweet oil and cotton which was formerly supposed to be the surest application to allay the smarting pain it is thecontact with the air which gives the extreme discomfort experienced from the ordinary accident of this kind and anything that excludes theair and pre vents inflammation iia the thing to be at once applied the egg is considered one of the best of remedies for dysentry beaten np slightly with or without sugar and swallowed at a gulp it tendsbyits emollient qualities to lessen the inflammation of the stomach and intestines and by forming a transient coating on these ajgans to enable nature s to resume hex healthful sway over a dis eased body two or at most three eggs per day would be all that is required in ordinary cases and since eggs are not
