Director Gazettee Printing AILY GAZETTE "You must excuse me, gentlcrgen, for I cannot drink anything, suia a man who was known to the entire town as a. drunkard. “ This is the first time you ever refused a. drink,” said an aquaintance. “The other day you Were hustling around after a. cocktail, and in fact you even asked me to set ’em up.” And so, only half comprehending, as yet, his own exceeding happiness and good fortune, the weary, storm-tossed man went joyfully with wife. child and friend, in at the open, waiting cottage door. “It was your cousin Lucyâ€"same nameâ€"you remember her, Ben; little dark girl with lots of curls,” said Charla}, half choking under thu stou pulls that the key was giving to his beard and comforter. ‘Here, take him before he kills me quite.” “Ben! Ben! Oh, thank God that you are alive, and safe. at home again with the child and me!” cried the weepingflaughing woman, as she sprang into the arms that were mechanically held out to receive her. “I thought you were dead, the papers all had it so. But how could you think that I had married anyone ,else, dear? How could you?” Then the cottage door flew wide open showing a snug interior of warmth, light and comfort. Down the path, over which a sudden gust now whirled heavy drops of rain, :1 fair, rosy woman came running with extended arms, and after her came Charles Burnham, with a baby boy carefully wrapped in his heavy overcoat, and shielded in his arms from the rapidly increasing storm. In reality he was scarcely ane ten minutes, although it seemed an age to the wretched man who wanted to hear from hls lips his doom. "There It is! It would kill me, I think, to go up to that door and not find her there. There’s the orchard I planted for her; how the trees h we grown; and how nice the garden looks. There never was a happier man in this world, Charley, than when I lived there. Go, Charley, g0 and ask if she â€"if her people still live at the farm. I can bear to talk it over thh them, perhaps, they were always fond of me.” Her rested his folded arms on the stone coping of the orchard wall, and bent his head down with such a groan of bitter, hopeless misery, that Charley Burnham hurried away, with eyes almost too dim to see the cottage path. Ban Hallida gave a. gasp of pain as he pointwd to a neat gray house wifh green ‘cliuds, and a side veranda}: that stoml in the midst of a pretty fruit orchard, at some distance from the street. The next moment they were hurrying down the one street of the village, where lights were already burning in the cottage windows, and family groups were seated comfortably at the evening meal. “No, No ! Come with me at once, Charley. I cannot rest or breathe until I have found out where she is,” replied his friend nervously. “We can inquire atâ€"â€"â€"at the house where I used to live. The new people there will tell me.” “Shall I order supper here '3 ” asked Burnham, when the host had left them in tbs) pnvnte room they had ordered. As they alighted from the stage coach at the poarch of the old-fashioned taVeI-n, a strange landlord came out to welcome them, in the place of the rotund, jolly old “Uncle Gorhmn” whom they had known in their boy. hood, But the tavern was “Gorlmm’a” still, as in the olden time. '1 be close of a dull, rainy day in autumn saw the two friends safe once more in the little New Jersey village, where they had both been born. “Poor Lucy," said the bereaved husband, as they were starting on their journey home, “we mustn’t be too hard on her Charley. She may have been driven toâ€"to such a step by actual man. All my fault. I never ought to have trusted any stranger as I trusted thet \illanious agent. God forgive him I cannot. ' He las ruined all my life, and her: too, for she will never know another happy hour after she hears the truth. And yet it must be told. Ah, this isn’t the kind of a home-coming that I looked forward to. when I went. to the mint-s.” “ That’s very true, but I am a. very l i “Ben, you have the kindest heart on earth,” said the agent, and the tears stood in his eyes, “and you’ll wan't 8 friend to see you through this dreadful busmess. I’ll get a furlough and go back to Vernon with you, my dear boy.” ' ' A month afterwards, Charles Burn- ham’s prediction was fulfilled.

A certain worthy named Sandy was very fond of telling stories of his young days One nirrht he was telling of his twin bi‘o ther Tamie who died while young. He said that they were so like each other that even his mother hardly knew the one from the other, and when Jamie died they were not sure which of the two it was, and, says Sandy, in‘ all sincerity, “Maybe it was me, for onything I ken.” In a town not one hundred miles ‘r‘om Bree-11in a woman bought two pigs, and a few days later one 01 the piggies died.

To a man of my temperament, a half-drunk is a. miserable condition, for the desire for more is so strong that he forgets his self-respect in his efforts to get more drink. Failing at the saloons, I re- member that there was a. half-pint of whisky at home, which had been pur- chased for medical purposes.

For Scotch collops mince finely two pounds of good beefsteak, freeing,r it from all sinew or gristle, and, placing it in a stewpzm, stir it constantly and sharply with a wooden spoon, to prevent the meat from getting lumpy. over the fire till the meat is thoroughly hot ; now rub a spoon.- ful of flour smoothly into about a. break- fastcuful of water flavourod with a. little mushroom catchup or Worcester sauce; stir this into the meatâ€"which must now be seasoned rather highly With pepper and saltâ€"put; the lid on the fan, and let it all stew gently, stirring it occasionally, till the meat is cooked. Then dish it with fried croutons of bread arrranged round it and a couPle of nicely poached eggslon the top, or else piled up Within a wall of browned mashed potato or well-boiled rice. The .secret of this dish lies in the initial stirring, without which it. will he lumpy and tough. It sometimes happens that a fish-bone, accidentally swallowed, will remain in the oesophagus, and be troublesome. In such cases, as soon as possible, give four grains tartar emetic dissolved in one-half pint of warm water, and, immediately afterwards the whites 0f six eggs. This will not remain on the stomach more than two or three minutes, and probably the bone will be ejected WIth the cogulated mass. If tartar emetic is not convenient, a spoonful of mustard. dissmlved in luke warm water and swallowed will answer every purpose of the emetic. The American cocas require to be boiled, otherwise an undissolyed sediment is de- posited. Tho addition of an equal quan- tity of arrowroot or corn-starch to the American coca, with five minutes’ boiling and the pmper sweetening, gives a perfect breakfast beverage. Children should never be allowed to go to‘ bed 'with cold feet. A nurse should have instruction alrays to feel the feet of the little ones before they are put to bed. Culd feet may mean nothmg, and then again they may be the precusor of some serious 1llness.

The old fashioned way of making tea. is a heaping teaspoonful of tea and one for the pot for each pint of tea. Pour boxling water upon the tea and cover for two or three minutes, but do not allow it to boil before using. And when on Eternity’s voyage I enter, L'nfurl my glad sails on its limitless sea, 0n me my affectionate memories centre, May some one have loving remembrance of me. Then, swift: as the (lay beams, stern wint- ers are over, The daisies are peering from under the snows ; Again the broad acres of blossoming clover In rivalry vie with the beautiful rose. Again I hear the veices of loved ones departed ; Just why they forsook me I do not divine ; Again I see faces of his children, light- hearted. Their bright, merry glances upturning to mine. But sweet is the converse we hold in the gluumiug ; Both poutful and aged together appear; They came from all regions where they have been roaming. And some from that Unseen, so farâ€" yet so near. But memory brings them by her invita- tum, And charms me afresh with a glimpse of the past, And thus by her magic gives this consola- tion, The free, golden hours of childhood may last.
