There was enough to do in all Conscience. So much she hardly knew %here to begin. While she hesitated her thoughts pandered away from the untidy kitchen ' rith its yesterday's litter all uncleaned, |ts drifting rolls of lint, its sink piled ligli with unwashed dishes, and for the loment she was no longer a pallid. iollov-eyed,unkempt drudge, but young id pretty, sweet and fresh as women ire who put on wedding finery and wait rith happy longing for the new life, full ~in bieseeu mvaiery. "Four years ago," she thought, "I was ^he happiest woman in the world; now am one of the most "miserable. Four Shears ago I ket»t a happy birthday in lay heart and home; now " She gave a sharp, hard laufeh and turned to her work. Four years ago she and John had jn two smart and happv young peo- >le who thought nothing on earth could lake them so devoutly thankful as to >long wholly and entirely to each oth- Their marriage had been io them ie best possible celebration for the >re*ty young bride's birthday. They ad begui\ life in a little hitec^ house, ^ijrith a little stock of worldly goods And a great and wonderful fortune in «atore which they had made up their fninds to possess through industry, j#conomy and mutual endeavors. How was it, Annie asked herself over And over again, that in only four years iliey had come to this? She remembered, ^||s she washed and scoured among the |x>ts and pans, how the girls in the •hop where she used to work had en­ vied her. Envied her for her hand- tome husband: for her smart new dress; and had all of them hoped for as good luck themselves. ' Now Miriam rode in her own car­ riage and filled it royally with her silks and laces. Shq had married an old man, surely enough, to be Bure, but what of that ? To-day she would sit at the head of a table loaded with silver, and groaning under its weight of costly da ntiee. There was Kate Brown, and Avis, her sister, elderly girls, and plain, but their birthdays were always to them a high holiday. She began to sing again, and the sweetness of her voice was all lost in the bitterness that rang through the samu old words: "Pork and potatoes! Pork and potatoes!" It was all they had in the' house to eat, and it was their birthday, their wedding anniversary. ^ The door opened, and John came in; »ot the fine, spruce young man who led on her so proudly four years >, but a slouching man in dirty over­ alls, with shabbiness written all over his face. He wan smiling now, and . twinging a plump little turkey. "Here, mammy," he cried, "here Is a bit of birthday for you." "O, John!" she cried. "How oould yon ? Poultry so dear, and I with never a dress or a boot." "I did not buy it,"heanswered; "Old Huxley gave it to me." "A charity bird. Shame on you, John! 8hame on you, poor as we are, for tak­ ing charity. I will not cook, or eat, or have any hand in the disgrace of it!"

Not all he sorrow, and poverty, and dlsap- intment of her married life had erer nmbled her like this one gift. • Old Huxley had once been a would- "Ibe lover of hers, and on former birth- - Jiays had offered her many a valuable 'trinket. This horrible bird, which '.-Jfohn had shamed her by accepting, was • ample revenge for many scornful re- fusals. ̂ - While her cheeks yet burned with tkncrrv nhamfl the dgpr QPened Jizain.' Annie was a matter-of-fact woman living in a poor quarter of a large city; but lor a moment her mind gave a great leap bock to nursery lore. There in her little dingy kitchcn stood a woman, bent enough, wrinkled enough, for a veritable fairy godmother. She wore a dress of silk and lace; her face was as yellow as the yellow gold that linked it­ self about her skinny throat and held the great bright stone that flashed and aparkled all over her claw-like fingers. Before Annie in any wisf recovered from the surprise of her presence she spoke in a short, rasping voice; "So yoti are Annie Brown, are yon? a well-looking woman, so one looks only at your face. But what has my sister's child to do with this filthy room, this tumbledown house, this forsaken s'rcct, and all this misery you seem p^rt itutl parcel of? Take your baby, Amic, and come with me. You shall b"i a ladv, chihl, as your mother was be­ fore you, even if she did die in the poor- fa mse, and I, hand-tied, 3,000 miles away." "But John?" gasped Annie, when OTrprisc would let her speak. u And what of John ?" cried the gold- w'tch sharply. "I offer you a homesneH as you never even dreamed of, rich d'esses, food and jewels; has your Job*» given you such things? WiU he over -give tliemto you?" "John is my husband, the father o' mv baby, father of the two God gave us and took again; I can not leave him. you know." "I know nothing of the kind," cried the gold-witch. "You are my niece, my own sister's child; your John, whoever he m.ty be, is no kinsman of mine; I want nothing of him; you say two of your children are dead; so will the third one be in this reeking atmosphere; it is suffocating me alreadv. Yon have no right to kill yonr child, no right to re* fuse him a chance such as he will never have again. As for your John, you may send him a thousand dollars to-night. He is a man; they are all alike; he had rather have the money than you." The last two arguments were strong ones, and illness and poverty had made Annie weak. There was more leeble resistance, more golden promises, and at last she yielded. Strange and bewildered enough she felt when tlw? prancing horses stood l>e- fore the great up-town hotel, where ob­ sequious waiters stood on every hand. "Now rest," cried the gold-witch, whose will and word seemed a law unto others. So she rested. The bed was white and downy; there were laces and rib­ bons fluttering * round it; but, in spite of the softness and whiteness, the child that lay on her bosom wept and wailed with a low, heart-breaking cry, and at last the baby, who up to that day had never spoken any word, or tried to speak, opened its little quivering lips and called ont loud and clear: "Papa! papa!" It was as though the voice of God rke to the mother. She sprang from bed and folded her worn old shawl around about herself and boy. Close beside the door sat the gold witch, soundly sleeping. With bated breath and noiseless steps she stole past the old woman. Down the grand stairway and through the lofty halls she sped, looking neither to the right nor to the left. She reached her home at last, dark and dismal as to outward surroundings, bright with the memory of former joys, sacred to the memory of former sor- • TUo tpfto nnf fko liAtti4.li wall dark. A moment later and a glad flame leaped and sparkled, the sleeping baby was left to its fate while his mother converted a few hoarded silver Sieces, that were to have bought her a ress, into tea, sugar, crackers, hot rolls and, while the fit of recklessness was strong upon her, a pint of cranber­ ries for old times' sake. Her shopping completed, how Annie, as it were, flew home! How that despised turkey was forgiven for having passed through Huxley's hands, ana tucked into an oven as warm and com­ fortable as any high-toned turkey could desire! How the potatoes danoed and tumbled and at last absolutely burst themselves with pride at being allowed to participate in this most luxuriant re­ past! How the cranberries cracked and spurted in their loud demand for sugar! How light the rolls were and how strong the tea! After the dinner was well under way, Annie had time for a vigorous putting to rights of the disordere 1 room, time even to make the baby sweet and clean, as she washed herself, in very best dress, the pretty, old-fashioned Empress cloth that had borne with some degree of gentility the wear and tear of the last four years. So John came come to a tidier wife, a sweeter baby, and a ne itar room, and grander dinner then he had dreamed of in all the years in which he had been sliding down hill with such discourag­ ing rapidity. Then Annie asked pardon for her un­ kind reception of the brown and luscious tnrkey, and received it with her pretty head hidden on his willing shoulder, and, while in such safe retirement, managed to confess and receive pardon for the morning's sin also. If you will believe it, those poor young married people were so taken np m forgiving and making love to each other that they never heard their baby cry, and it was a great surprise when at last thev came to themselves to see their small child in the arms of a nice old lady in a nice black dress, who was kissing'and crying over it, mnch as its grandmother or aunt might be supposed to do. "You blessed child," said the old la­ dy, looking at Annie, "yon arts all moth­ er, so yon are, dear! I have been hunt­ ing for you ever since your Uncle Sam­ uel died j he never would forgive your poor mother for runn ng away with the scamp that abused and deserted her, and left her at last to die in the poor- house. Your mother was an angel, dear, and clung to him always--wouM never leave him, although we offered her a home, and you also, if she only would. Ah! she was a blessed woman, and you are like her, dear," with anoth­ er beaming smile. "You will forgive the old woman,* she went on, "for this morning's trick. I wanted to know if you were like your father or your mother; yon cannot tell how glad I was when I heard you run­ ning off; I almost strangled myself holding my breath for you to get by me, so soft and still. If you had staid I would have giveh you money, Annie, and all I promised, for you are my sis­ ter's child; but I oould never have given you the whole heart of love that is ach­ ing for you, dear." Just then Annie threw herself into the outstretched arms and kissed the quivering lips, while the wrinkled ring* less fingers patted her soft hair, oh! so "Of all the days of my life this is the best," said the old lady at last, "and I thank God for it."

The other day Chicago and I were passing along the street where some men were at work shoveling sand. At least they had been at work, but were then enjoying their noon rest. They had left their shovels sticking in the Band heap, and as we had been looking at the German shovels for some time with curious eyes, we seized the oppor­ tunity to test them. I do not by any means wish to convey the idea that I am an expert in shovels, for I am not. Neither is Chicago. But in our young­ er days, before we grew old and stiff, we both of us had tossed the gold shim­ mering sand a little, so we tackled those shovels. We shoved them into the sand heap with that peculiar motion in which the knee is so great a help and filled them full. Then we depressed our right hands, and with our left as fulcrums tried to lift the shovel and de­ posit its contents over our left shoul­ ders, and we succeeded tolerably well; that is, the success was not such as would fill with envv the soul of an Ex­ pert in the manipulation of the shovel. But we did tolerably well. Half of the load slid when we raised the shovel out of the sand bank. The other li^lf began to follow suit, and succeeded in parting company with the shovels just as those instruments were exactly over our left shoulders, and it ran down our shirt collars,, got into our eyes, filled our mouths, which we had incautiously opened to make a few appropriate re­ marks, and made itself generally fa­ miliar and unpleasant with our persons. We went away from there, and the laughter of the resting workmen grated harshly upon our ears--that is, upon our right ears, for the left ones were so full of sand that they grated anyway. These German shovels are a snare and a de­ lusion, and we never see one now with­ out smiling a pitying and disdainful smile upon the poor victims who have to worry along through life using them. An American shovel, as everybody knows, has a nice, comfortable hollow in it, BO that the sand cannot very well leave it, and the load is so nicely bal­ anced in it that one has to put forth but little effort to keep it "on a level keel." The handle is small, curved and smooth, so that it is a pleasure to preside over the destinies of a sand- heap--a very small one, of course-- armed with one of them. But the Ger­ man article is different. It is flat, like a spade, so that one cannot get a good Joall balanced upon it, but has to exert himself to keep the handle from twist­ ing in his grasp. The handle is nearly straight, is large, and generally rough and knotted. Taking them altogether, I am afraid I don't admire German shovels.--Berlin Letter. The New Bed Siding Heel The fubject of thiB sketch wa* a clever little girl, who derived her odd name from wearing on her head the sleeve of one of her father's old red flannel shirts. She was an independent little piece, and wlieu asked why her mother didn't buy her a new bonnet, said she would "just sleeve wear what she had on." When one of the neigh­ bor's children snceringly said, "Your pa gets drunk," Little Bed Biding Hood responded, "Your pa would, too, but he can't afford it;" and when the next-door boy ill-naturedly s&itL " Vnnr mother takes in washing," Little Bed Biding Hood answered: "She don't take in much when your mother gets the first whack at the line." It will be seen from these incidents in her life that, though little read, she was well posted, and the confidence with which her mother dispatched her to carry codfish balls .down into Stoors township to her sick grandmother is easily understood., Holding the lead dime, which hei mother had given her for oar fare, tightly in her hand, Little Bed Bid­ ing Hood started for a street car, and. having a few minutes to wait, improved the opportunity by setting up a howl that attracted the attention of a benev­ olent old gentleman, to whom she ex­ plained her cause for grief. She was going, she said, to her poor, sick grand­ mother, and had just been put off a car because her dime was counterfeit. The old gentleirtan gave her a quarter and put her on the next car. The conduc­ tor in due time called npon Little Bed Biding Hood for her fare, when she produced her lead dime. "This is counterfeit," said the conductor, where­ at Biding Hood fell to sobbing as if her heart would break; the conductor passed her, an old lady gave her a dime, and a boy shared some ginger­ bread with her. Arrived near her grandmother's honse,Little Bed Biding Hood sat down and ate the codfish balls; then shtf bought some milk from a drunken milkman, upon whom she passed the counterfeit dime, receiving from him 16 cents in change, after which she prooeeded to her grandmoth­ er's and stayed with her for three weeks. In contrasting this story with the original Little Bed Bidding Hood, the reader should bear in mind the disad­ vantage our heroine lat>ored under in having to be her own wolf, a role which she sustained with signal ability. There does not appear to be anything more to add, except that the town is full of our kind of Little Bed Biding Hoods.-- Cincinnati Saturday Night. Where Was tte PelltMaa! "Dr. Lancaster, what on earth are you doing?" said a reporter to the phy­ sician at the city almshouse, as that gentleman was found administering a big dosfe of chloroform to an old barn­ yard rooster in the hospital dispensary. "Why, sir, this is the rooster season, and I am going to show that both politicians and roosters without heads can live in this free country," and he went to work carefully with his fine instruments and took off the bird's head just above the ears and cautiously gathered up the muscles, arteries and veins applied cli« micals to prevent the flow of blood. Into the neck of the biped he placed a glass tube--a channel through v hich to introduce food into the craw--and then put the bird into a box covered with a cloth, with a hole in the centre for the headless neck to go through. "In a few hours," the Doctor said, "this chicken will walk around with steady step, a brainless agent, without sight, thought or feeling." And sure enough, the Doctor was right. At 5 p. m. the chanticleer was walking about the floor of the dispensary with no care as to where and when he could get the next meal---Richmond Whig.

It was ndt an infrequent occurrence to have patients ask tat some­ thing to relieve this weary sensation, and that I should also partake of the same universal lassitude or weakness, did not alarm me. I supposed that over­ work and exposure bad produced a tempo­ rary physical prostration; therefore I made a trip to St Paul, Hinn., thinking that a rest ef a few weeks In a oooler climate would soon reinvigorate me. Ltttie did I dream, however, what was in store forme. After petting settled In my new quarters I took a short walk every day. and patiently awaited a return of strength, but in spite of all mv efforts I seemed to be losing strength; anil even any slight exercise became laborious and tiresome During this time I had fre­ quent dull, aching pains in my head, and through my back and hips, occasional shoot­ ing pains in various parts of the bodv. with soreness, shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart. My feet and hands would be like ice one dw and burn with heat the uext I had no desire for food, and whatl dldeatdis- tressedme; my sleep was distressed with the frequent desire to urinate. The quantity of fluid passed would at one time be small and at. another quite profuse. Th< n for days I would be perf ctly free from this desire and nothing se-'med to be the matter; neverthe­ less my debility gradually increased. My eyelids were puffed out;'my bowels were al ernately torpid and too active, the urine would lie clear some days, on others it would be of high color and deposit, a brick-dust sediment, and at still others there would be a whitish appearance «.nd a thin greasy scum would rise to the top. The paiuB in my head, baek, chest, joints, bowels and bones were horrible in the ex reme. I went in vain from place to place and consulted the best medical authorities the country affords; I would have a chill one day and a burning fever the next I suffered ex­ cruciatingly with a numbness of mv feet and hands,* and at the base of the brain and between my shoulders; at times my limbs and body would bloat nnd pbyeicinns said I was suffering from the droi sy and could not recover. How I could be so b'ind to the terrible trouble that was devouring me, I do not know; but there are thousands to-day who are sutiering from the same cause and are as ignorant of its nature as I was. My skin was the color of marble at one time, and then lyraiu it would be like saffron, and this terrible restlessness, and 1 might sav wild- ness, was followed by a dull, heavy, irowsy sensation. I was wast d to a mere skeleton except when the dropsical bloat occurred. I trie I all the celebrated m in ralwateisof this country and Europe; all kinds of medi­ cine and all kinds ol doctors.

Acting on iis advice, I had my water analysed at once, and, to my surprise, albumen and tube casts were found in large quantities. A ckillful physician was sent for and apprised of the fact He said I had Itrijrht's Disease, and that death was certain. My friends impor­ tuned me to take a remedy which had won a great reputatiou for the cure of all forms of kidney diseases, and I therefore laid aside my prejudice and commenced its use. At first my stomach rejected it and I had to use small quantities; but after the tirst five days my stomach retained full doses. This was one year ago last October, and my improve­ ment was rapid and permanent I have re- fained fifty of the sixty-five pounds of flesh lost during my illness, and 1 feel as well to-day as I ever did, and I can unreservedly state that my life was saved by Warner's Safe Kidney and liver Cure, the remedy I used. It may seem strange that I, being a phy (rfcian and an ex-aimy surgeon, did not have the water analyzed before; but such is the fact I had the symptoms of every other disease, and I did not suspect that my kidneys were in the least particular out of • liter; and litere W fust where I was in the greatest danger, and where most peo­ ple who reud this article are in danger.

J. M. POSTER, M. D. BALTIMORE, MD, 94 Saratoga street Married Women In the English Mills. Married women seldom think of for­ saking the mill while their family is in­ creasing, until, indeed, the numl>er of little children--who must not be left al­ together without some one to take care of them--should be so large as to make it as cheap to stay at home as to pay a substitute, and their only hope of re­ lease is from some of the older children being able to supply their mother's place. I could name more than one case where the aggregate yearly earn­ ings of the family are nearer £300 than £200. Still, the mother trudges off to the mill daily along with her husband and her grown-up sons and daughters. The mill is the unfailing resort for em ployment, and is much preferred by the female section of the community to do­ mestic service, on account of the greater freedom and better pay, for a smart young weaver or spinner is soon expert enough to earn 18s or 21s per week, be­ side having her evenings and Sundays all to herself. Talk of money-hunters in the better classes of society, the "lass" with the sturdy frame and the deft hand to earn big wages, like the boy with the cake, will have many friends, anxious to be placed on even a more familiar footing.
