came floating up with a cheery souud to the balcony where i sat with myaffiauced bride it was all- over i bad proposed been accepted and was the happiest of men so happy that at times i colt id almost persuade myself that it was alia dream but no tlie exquisite face beside me whose dark- eloquent- eyes answered my looks of lore was nd dream taking advantage of our seoloion i drew her dear head dowe apou my shoulder 1 i alie i whispered ell me ouce again that you love me i cannot reahz even yet my bli there was a moments silence ihen i uot alone love you now khe said in her in the middle of the stream that ran by the honse where ned and maggy bvedsvas au island- a very little island it was only a few feet across it bat a big and a little tree grew there and there were rocks and bushes aud grass and sometimes a few wild flowers it looked beautiful to ned as he sat on the bank aud wished be were over there he used to tease his mother to allow him to wade across for the water at that point was not very deep it isnt half as high as i am ked would urge by way of argument it wouldnt moren come up to my waist i wish i could go i but the wise mother would permit no soeb proceeding and so ned continued to look longingly across the water and to think that when he was a man he would explore the wonderful depths of that for bidden island ked was a daring boy and he often led his little sister into trouble aud even danger without really meaning any harm maggy looked up to ked as a most superior being and placed implicit confidence in whatever he said going where he went and doing just what be old berlo do one day company was expected aud the mother was unusually busy in the kitchen j ked and maggy being left to themselves played until they were tired and then sat down on the bank to rest ked gazed over at the island it looked so green and prstty in the bright sunshine there was a damp of yellow flowers growing ou the farther side and ked was fired with a sudden im- pulm o go and getjhem how pretty they would look in the tall vase on the parlor table v he said to him self mother would be so pleased to have some flowers for she said only this morning she wished the sweet peas were in blossonv li she knew they were there 1 most believe shed let me go he argned but i cant go and ask her because she is bo busy she said she couldnt be hindered with anything auy way ehe hasnt said today i mustnt go and she wont care ifidont get drown ed and of course i shant tbns he boy talked to himself trying to think that he should be doing his mother a favor in getting the flowers while away f down in his little heart he knew that to go it after it had been expressly forbidden would j be a very naughty thing indeed but be my summer months of recreatiou when jj loi soft voice bat your imaeo has bfeeu the following communication decided me it was from a fellowartist whose ac quaintance i had recently made a young man who like myself cultivated his taste for the divine artj nos for filthy lucre but for pure love and pevotion to its elevat ing and entrancing self it was an invita tion for me- o visit hlin in his lancashire the country than now and i can fari bit for

m ther iu the face never was money bo op wrtoneiy sent by providence with it returned to pennsylvania my mothers kept his eyes on tbe flowers and they seem ed to nod and beckon to him till he sud denly made up kis mind that he would leate maggy on the bank and rnn over and back again almost before you know it he old his sister but maggy didnt want to be left alone she wanted to go where ked went well said ked come on then and rolling up his trousers and taking the little girl on his back bidding her hold on very tight he stepped boiily into the stream the water was somewhat deeper than he had supposed and the stones were very slippery but there was not mach current and he had almost gained the island when- he made a misstep and maggy came near losing her hold this frightened her and she began to cry ked soothed her as well as he was able and finally landed her wet and sobbing on the shore of the island the day was warm but keds clothes were dripping and he shivered as he breeae struck him the flowers were not so pretty as they had looked to be kot worth picking ked grumbled tho bashes were prickly anda little green snake wrig gled out from under a rock the sun clouded in and the air seemed to grow chillier every moment maggie refused to be comforted everything seemed very disagreeable and ked wondered how they could get home again daring as he was he realized too keenly tbe danger of a sec ond trip across the river on those treacher ous stones wtiat should he do before be had come to any conclusion maggy caught sight of her mother in their little garden and she bet up a piteous wail then she screamed and ked in spite pf himself added his voice to hers mother would know what to do at first the mother did not beem to hear then she ran down the bank and stood there as il dazed stay where you are dont stir one step hey heard her shout then she ran swiftly away and the saw her speeding down the road ked knew where she wag going she was going for some of the men at deacon f greens a quarter of a mile away deacon green had a boat and ked felt sure that ho should presently see one of the green farm- boys rowing up the river towards them maggy was comforted by no such hope as long as her mother was in sight she had hope of abpaedy deliverance but when she vanished despair took possession of tho little girls heart we shall hive to stay here frever v ever shemoaned and we cant see the company at all and there was going to be raspberry tarts oh der oh dear ked wasnt sure that he wanted to see the company and oven raspberry tart seemed to hold no joy for him in the future perhaps his mother would be so angry with hini because of his disobedience that ahe would feed him on bread and water tor a week he had once read of a little boy who had been subjected to such a diet for tbreo days while he was thus thiuking a boat rounded a turn in the stream a short dis tance below them and ho recognized tbe feature of deacon green himmlf it was not long before the two children were in their mothers arms being cried over in a way tliat they scarcely under stood a risky piece of business said the deacon when ho had learned how ked and maggy had forded the stream youre a stout surefooted youngster if you are a little rascal not to mind yourmother but i reckon yoa wont give her such a scare again why not ooe boy in a hundi but would have lost his balance before he was halfway across dont you try that trick over mind now and the deacon rowed away down the nver ked dreaded to be left alone with his mother fearing a punishment though he conjd not but feel that he deterred it he did not remember ever to have deliberately disobeyed before and now he wondered what would be done with him he was somewhat surprised when no rcprbof came his mother was as kind and gentle as ever but ked did not oareto meet her eyes and he whisked himself out of her sight as soon as he could the visitors were there trrtca as expected and there were plenty of raspberry tarts ked was extremely fond of these tooth some little pieav a preference well known in the family j nevertheless he felt some surprise when histnother offered him a second tart for he had thought she might refuse him any he needed no urging to take the dainty- but be ate it with his eyes fixed on his plate and with less enjoyment than usual at bedtime t hell have it out with me ked said to himielf but ho was again mis taken there were two kisses instead of one perhaps a little tighter clasp of the arms than usual at least ked thought so but that was all and the boy fell asleep half wishing he had said he was sorry for his disobedience the next morning ked and maggy saw a lady coming up the path towards their front door i dont know who she is said ned i think she has something to sell i hope it is books pedlars and canvassers seldom found their way to the cottage which was off the main road and when they did come it was always adelight to tbe children to be al lowed to look at their goods this time it realry was a book agent as ked had hoped and the boy was scon turning over the leaves of a volume of travel it was full of pictures and written in the bright enter taining style to capture tbe fancy of l a boy like ked oh if be could have it for his own but the price was high wonld his mother buy it for him- ked looked eagerly pleadingly towards her she loo was interested in a book a beautiful volume of illustrated poems it is just what i have long wanted ked heard her say to the agent while his heart sank shes going to buy one for herself he thought instead of for me his mother met his wistful disappointed gaze so this is what you want she said laying down the book of poems and taking 1 the other book from keds hand oh can i have it mamma he cried j the sparkle returning to his eyes- j yes i th in y i will subscribe for this she said after an examination of its con tents keds face beamed with pleasure but the look of happiness faded as his mother said ko i cannot afford to take both then then you buy the one yoa want mamma ked faltered ko dear said his mother smiling i can wait for mine awhile longer ked watched his mother sign her name in the agents orderbook be heard tbe lady promise to deliver one like the sample in about ten days and he saw her go down tho path and open the gate then he turned his face in doors it was a very sober face for one belonging to a little boy whose mother had just ordered for him so delight ful a book mamma ha said why did yon buy me that book instead of getting one for yourself 1 i did it to please yotikotl dont you suppose i would rather please you than myself 0 mamma iked burst out you love me oo much im a naughty boy i didnt try to please yoa i went over on the island where you told me not to go and and the rest was lost in sobs on his mothers shoulder but- i do love you mrrama ked said at last and i will never disobey you again love had aught ked a lesson which be never forgot htm

troubled with red ants aod after great suffering aud racking of my ingenuity i found a sure and positive remedy it is this take four or five sponges ot ordinary size andcrowd a small quantity of brown sugar into the pores place tbe sponges about the antinhabited places cf the room ur rooms and let them remain until the ants get into them as they will il will not be long before the spouges are actaaliy alive with the little rascals and then comes yoar opportunity have a pail of hot water near at hand aud- immerse the spouges therein than farewell to the ants by continuing this prooces fob three or foar days you will find yourself entirely rid of the ants while the sponges are about it would be well to keep other sweetmeats out of the way the latest crlfeesestpky l a- r tbe atones which
