A Spihbikb Wheel. The old house stood in aa infre- quented lane; how infreqnented was evident from the grass-grown wheel- track in the middle and the hall-effaced foot-path at one side. It had a melan­ choly aspect, the old house, as it gazed ont at the fields with its blinded and closely-shut windows. A long, tin- trimmed briar-rose tapped with its riot­ ous withes on the front door, the little yard was choked with weeds, two or three missing panes had been mended by squares <3 pasted paper ; there was just repair enough to avert a look of Bqnalor and not sufficient quaintness to achieve the picturesque. Still, the yel­ low sun and the sweet air of September bathed the shabbiness and lent a peace­ ful air to the spot, and the same blue sky arched above which overhangs earth's fairer faces. Nature knows no favorites. Her free bounty is shed for all, and her sweetness reaches and com­ municates itself to unlikeliest nooks. Forlorn as the old house was, it wore a delightful look to one pair of eyes-- these, namely, of a vouug woman who was driving down the lane in a light country wagon", with a companion of her own age and sex beside her. They were city girls, lodging ior a few weeks in a neighboring viiiage, and this was one of many drives they had taken together, partly for enjoyment of each other and the scenery, and partly with a view to possible bric-a-brac, of which one of them was an enthusiastic collector. They had taken the turn into the lane with the expectation of finding a human habita­ tion beyond, and when the old house caught the eye of Mattie Mason, the bric-a-brac fancier, an exclamation of rapture broke from her lips. The other girl did not notice it at first. She was dreamily regarding the hedge-rows, and humming to herself : Wild rose, delicately flushing All the bord«r of the dale, Art thou like a pale cheek Washing ? • _ Or like a red cheek? "Well, Mattie, what is it?" as her ab­ straction was rebuked by a sharp poke from the elbow of her companion. "Oh ! Hester, see ! Such a delicious old roost! It looks as if it were built in' the year one. The very house for and­ irons and brass candlesticks and spin­ ning-wheels. What'll you bet that I don't find the spinning-wheel of my dreams in that very garret which you see up there ? And to think that no one told us that there was a house down this way I" "It does look spinning-wheely," said Hester, with a smile, as her friend turned the wagon toward a side door, where was visible a row of milk-pans set out to air. The sound of wheels, hushed and veiled as it was by the spreading grass, evidently caused an excitement within, for blinds rattled and one or two heads peeped out of windows. By the time the horse had checked himself at tile top of the grassy rise, the door had opened, and become, as Mattie afterward expressed it, *' densely populated," no less than three women and one old man crowding at once to enjoy the unwonted spectacle of two young ladies and a wagon. Two of the women were good specimens of that hearty, though tooth­ less and wrinkled, old age so often seen in the New England country regions ; the third, a spare, shrinking little creat­ ure, did not seem of the same genus. Mattie leaned tor ward. She was always the spokeswoman of the two, and her voice, as she spoke, softened itself into the pretty, coaxing tone which she was accustomed to employ when there was an end to serve, or a new acquaintance , tp be pleased. 4'Good afternoon," said the sweet voice, " we stopped as we went by to sk if by chance you happen to have in "Oh, no! oh, no! Don't take away my little light-stand. It's the or 'dy one I've got. I've had it always, I couldn't bear to lose my light-stand. Don't let them, Hexy, don't let them!" "Hush, Harriet; hush, dear!" said the spare little woman, evidently the " Hexy " addressed. " The lady won't. She don't mean nothing by what she said." But still the fixed gaze continued, and the imploring voice went on: "Oh don't let them, you won't, will you, Hexy? They've taken away so many things. Leave me my litde light stand!" "Yes, dear,yes, dear," said the sister, soothingly, while Maiti?, discomfited and repentant, echoed her assurances: " I wouldn't rob you of your table for the world. Pray don't suppose so for a minute. I was only asking from curios­ ity. Don't feel badly--please, don't!" and I couldn't stir to find her. It seemed as if the end of everything had come. I mistrusted the Lord that night. It seemed as if He didn't know and didn't care what beame of us two poor cree- turs, and had just let us go. But there! I needn't! It was real wicked and faith­ less in me, for we always had been helped somehow, and we was then. The very next morning, by 9 o'clock, come Mis' Ware. He sent her of oourse; and when she heard what happened, she just went straight out to the police, and they writ and telegraphed about the conntrv. and the third day they found Harriet." , " Oh, where was she ? cried Hester, thrilled with sympathy. " Way out to the back of Milton hill. What took her that way I don't know, nor ever did. She don't remember noth- Sat .till the pitiful pleading continued, i from and whispered: J " You'd better come away. She ain't i rightly in her senses, poor creetur, and j don't know what she sayB"--and Mattie, ! glad to escape from a scene which was j becoming painful, willingly followed to | a farther room, which proved to be a loft, whenoe presently the old woman's voice was heard demanding: "Now I whatever can have taken that wheel ? I j see it just the other year--that time that Jelxiei's folks was here, I guess; it was --twelve year,*is it?--well, 'twas here then I'm most sure, but I don't seem able to lay my hand on it now." Hester, meanwhile, less absorbed in a special in­ terest than her friend, lingered with the sisters, the older and feebler of the two still hovering over her property, as though she feared it might yet be snatched from her by fraud or violence. " Is she ill ? " whispered Hester, whea at last the poor creature had been soothed into comparative quiet and per­ suaded to sit down in the {rocking- chair. "No, not worse than she often is. It's just the excitement. Nothing wor­ ries her like the idea of losing the fur- nitur*. Twas that upset her in the first place, you know--" and " Hexy " gave a troubled sigh. "That? You mean " " Oh, all the talk about, breaking us up and selling off the things, and send­ ing us to the poor-house. They never did it, but thS idea was enough to break Harriet all down. She had kept up heart till then. She was a master-hand for doing and encouraging, and when I got way down she would always kind of pull me up and make me take a hopeful view as well as she could. As long as we could live on in the room we had been used to always, and have our own things about us, and have just work enough to keep us goia', she was satis­ fied and so was I. 'Twas home--that was what Harriet always said; and we both thought a heap of it--we v. as to­ gether, too, and of course that counted for a good deal." "Where was this home of yours?" asked Hester. She had seated herself, and her gentle voice and sympathetic eyes tempted the speaker on. * " It was down to the North End. Ali­ son street it used to be called, but they've cut away and changed every­ thing, and there ain't, no such street now." The North End of Boston, do you mean ? " " Yes, the North End. We're Boston born, and so was all our folks. It used to be a real nice street when I was a lit­ tle girl. I can recollect it some; there was ever bo many big houses, and rich people lived in them. My mother took in sewing then, and Harriet and me helped, though we was pretty little to do much, but work was plenty, and we got on well. Then times began to ohange, and the rich people all moved away and poor people moved in, and one by onei we lost ail our customers. Most of them had gone to a great way off, where it was too far for them to send, and--they kind of forgot us, I suppose. It wasn't no more tiian natural. Still it came hard on Harriet and me. Mother was dead then, there wasn't no one left but us two. Sewing was the only thing we knew how to do, and at last there was hardly any sewing to be had." " Couldu't you have moved too, and got a little nearer to your customers ?" "That was just what folks told us. But we didn't soeasi to ojc our way clear to do it. We was attached to our room j for one thing. Harriet thought a heap j of that room. We had lived there al­ ways; you see.

A pause. Through the open door of the loft Hester heard Mattie saying: "Yes, it is quite a nice old wheel. What will you take for it? " and the old maid's cannv voice in reply : " Wall-- i don't know just what wheels is a fetchin' now." " Mis' Ware didn't stop there, neith- jit" resumed Hexy. " When she found j how bad we felt about it, she told the ! overseer of the poor that she'd see we j was supported somehow, without comin' on the city. I don't rightly know how it was fixed, but some of Mis' Ware's I rich friends helped, and it was arranged we should stay on at the old place. I Then the next year they cut the new j street and we moved out here. Mis' | Ware, she did it all. 'Twas better for ! Harriet, she thought, and all our own j things was fetched out, to make her feel | home-like. She's a good deal better | since. She likes to look out of the win- | dow in summer time, and some days she's almost cheerful and like her old self--no, not that, but more like than I ever thought she would be." " It is a pleasant, quiet stop for her. Are the people kind to you ? " "Well, yes. They are kind enough,as folks go. They're glad of the board, and I help along a lit tle, and we get ou very well. Harriet hesn't ever got over being strange to them, and I don't sup­ pose she ever will; but t-he don't ever go down stairs and they hardly ever come up, so it don't much matter. Sitting here alone with me, she don't realize half the time that she isn't in the old place, and that qtiiets her mind more than anything else does." The bargaining in the loft grew louder. " Half a dollar was what a friend of mine gave for one the other day." " Half a dollar! That don't seem much for a wheel that cost's much as $17 when it was new." " When it was new ! Yes ! Bat you can't expect to use a tiling fifty years I and then get as much as you gave for it! ! Now I'll tell you," continued the little j screw; " it's such a nice little wheel ' that I'll give you a dollar for it. That i is twice as much as my friend gave."

Then, turning ' to Mattie: " You can go up if you've a mind to, but you'll find it kind of dusty, I guess." " Oh, I don't mind dust in the least," laughed Mattie, who adored old garrets, and was not often able to win entrance into one with so little tiouble as this. She and Hester jumped out; the old woman tied the horse to the feuce by his . reins, and the whole party proceeded in-doors and up a narrow-walled stair- oaso, with sharp, square turns, to the upper entry.

One even ing, when her affianced stood gazing very inquisitively at it in the midnight. she said, with much feeling, "John, are you thinking that each one of these hairs is like a golden cord binding you to hap­ piness?" "Well, no," he answered mechanically, "I was thinking what 8 nice mosquito net they would make." A Maryland exchange refers to Mr. Thos. G.

The bgr called it liis all summer, and the family called it his, and his it was. In the fall, when his father sold the other lambs, he let this one go with them, and taking the pay for it, he tucked it into his big wallet and carried it off to pay taxes, or put it in the bank Young, middle-aged or old men, suffering See other \ from nervous debility and kindred weaknesses, ! should send two stamps for large treatise, giv­ ing successful treatment, World's bisrKma- si Usdicax.

An ingenius dean in Switzerland has discovered a close relationship between divorce courts and drinking saloons, and claims to be able to ascertain, on an average, the number of divorces per thousand marriages by doubling the number of saloons per thousand men. In Appenzell, for instance, there are thirtv-seven public houses and severity- Now thiT&uxoer did not intend to do ! eight divorces ; in Zurich, twenty-five Least of all did be in- and t^y-seven, and 111 Berne sixteen and "Oh, go right in. My sister won't ; used to bring us things most every week. mind, I think," was the reply, in a shy, hesitating voice. They passed, accordingly, into a large, low-ceiled room, with windows on three sides set in a "lean-to" roof. It was furnished with some attempt at comfort. A small open-grate stove stood in the chimney, there was a high-backed rock- ing-eliair covered with old-fashioned "patch," a bed-quilt of the same, a chest of cherry-wood drawers, and, on a square of faded carpet in one of the windows, a claw-legged table of dark, polished ma­ hogany, before which Mattie Mason came to "point," much as a trained dog does when it detects the presence of hidden game. "What a dear little table," she cried; "such a funny, old-fashioned shape. Do you use it much? Wouldn't you like to sell it ? " "Ohplease--" began the spare little woman, in a deprecating voice, but, its if evoked by the words, out i'r< >:n hol iud the bed ran another woman, wiih oddiv- flhining eyes. She came swiftly, with hands tightly locked together, and with * motion m if to embrace the table, cried: No, I can't think how we should have done without Mis' Ware." "The Lord sent her, that's just the long and short of it." proceeded Hexy, her voice choking a little. " You see, I fell sick, and Harriet she got all wore out taking care of me, and we got out of everything, and at last the overseer of the poor come, and he judged 'tw&n't no use our trying to keep along any fur­ ther. We must sell oft what we'd got, he said, and just go into the almshouse with the town poor and be supported. I was settin' up by that time, so I see him as well as Harriet. He didn't mean to be unkind, I guess, but he said it kind of hard. I suppose he couldn't re­ alize what one's feelings was, and he didn't make it sound no easier than it v. af.

In the government of Orel the village of Jarnovo has three public houses, whereas the village of Petroffskoe has none. In the former, although the farms are dou­ ble the size of the latter, 38 per cent, of the peasants have neither horse nor cow, while in the latter the number destitute of live stock is only 7 per cent. These and similar facts are being made good use of by M. KathofF and others, to whose labors in the cause of a temper­ ance reformation is largely due the ap­ pointment of a representative comniittee employed to diminish the drunkenness.

Probably he did not give the matter much thought any way; and if he did he considered the boy's own eweship of the lamb a sort of pleasant fiction, or reasoned that the boy, having all his needs supplied out of the family purse, did not need the pay lor the lamb, and it was better to put it into the common fund. But for all that, taking the lamb and selling it in that way, and pocketing the proceeds, was dealing. No, it was robbery; and as between'tliid b.»y and his father, one of the meanest robberies that could be perpetrated. Not only this, but by robbing the boy of that two dollars the farmer did more to make the ,bov dis­ contented, and drive him from home, than he can undo with ten times that i amount. A boy is a little man, and if i he lias any of tile gather :;nd grip to him when he grows up, he begins at an early age to feel thut d -sire to own something, and t > add to the property subject to his ownership, which is at once the incen­ tive to efiect work, and the motive which reconciles men to their condition. No matter how well the boy's wants are provided for from a fund which is common to the whole family, he takes no particular interest in adding to that | fear of their impracticability and ex- fnnd because he does not feel that it is j pense.
