"Elsie* 1"
Walter Ilartman's tone of sorrowful
amazement made his young wife spring
hastily to her feet. She had not heard
him come in, and was kneeling lieside
a great arm -chair, sobbing as if her
heart would break.
"Oh, Walter I" she said, "Aunt Ju
lia " and a fresh burst of sots in
terrupted her. „
Walter's face cleared. It was not
sorrow of her own, then, that over
whelmed this pretty, blue eyed dar
ling he had married six mouths before.
"Well, Elsie," he said, taking her in
his arms and caressing her, "what H
bout Aunt Julia ? Do not sob so,
dear ; you will make yourself ill.'*
"The fire I" said Elsie, keepiug her
sobs somewhat more uuder control.
"You know I was veiy much worried
when I heard of it, for I could not tell
by the papers whet'er Aunt Julia's
house was in the burnt district or
not."
For the great Chicago fire was not a
week old,and the whole country watch
ed for news.
"Well, dear," said Walter, kindly.
"It is as bad as it cau be, Walter.
Aunt Julia writes to ine that her house
was totally destroyed, ber very cloth
ing burned up, and her insurance pa
pers not entirely made out. She is ab
solutely without anything in the world
except the clothes she had on. Actual
ly fed by charity. Oh, Walter 1"
Here the sobs came again, thick and
fast,and Walter could offer no comfort
but sueh as was conveyed by silent ca
resses. After a time these were so far
effectual that £lsie could speak more
calmly.
"Now, little one." Walter said,"tell
me why this troubles you so sorely ?
Do you loye your aunt so very dear
ly ?"
"She bad been everything a mother
could be to me since my parents died,
Walter. But while I was with her we
were very poor. Out of her own scan- ■
ty means she fed, clothed and educated |
me until I took the situation of nur
sery governess to your aunt's children,
and married yon. But just before we
were married, an old friend of Aunt
Julia's died in Chicago, and left ber
ten thousand dollars. Whin she went to
claim her legacy, she saw she
purchased, and liked it so much she
bought it, her legacy covering the ex
pense of the house, lot and furniture,
while ber own little income would sup
port her. But, unfortunately, she was
persuaded to draw out ber tiny fortune
aod invest it in two lots adjoining her
house. Now everything is swept a
way."
"She took care of you when you were
a child ?"
"For seventeen years, Walter, deny
ing herself to feed and clothe me
Walter did not spet.k again for many
minutes .holding Elsie close in his
arms. At last he said, very gravely :
"If I were a rich man, Elsie.l would
not stop to think in a case like this,
but say at once 'Bring your aunt here.'
But you know, little wife, my salary,
though sufficient for all our wants,
with a margin for pleasure and saving
a nest-egg, is yet not large. It I invite
your aunt here, the difference of ex
pense must fall most heavily upon you,
because I cannot give you many pleas
ures yon enjoy if I Lave one more to
support. Concerts and jewelry, little
gifts and pleasures, will be beyond our
means then. But if you will be hap
pier knowing your auot has a borne, I
will go myself to Chicago and briDg ber
here."
"Ob, Walter, how kind, how gener
ous you are ! I will never be able to
thank you.'*
"Then lam to go. All right. I
will get a leave of absence to-morrow.
In the meantime I will telegraph your
aunt to meet me at the depot,if she has
sent any address."
"The address is the lawyers' who ar
ranged her legacy for her, and who did
not live in the burnt district, Morse &
Hunter."
A few days later, as fast as steam
would carry Walter to Chicago and
back, Elsie was waiting to welcome
the travelers. A telegram had inform*
ed her that Walter bad found Julia
waiting at the depot and by what train
to expect him home. The only spare
room in the pretty little house at Har
lem, where Walter bad brought bis
bride, was in dainty order. Jennie,the
servant, was cooking the choicest sup*
per Elsie could devise, and the little
wife herself, neatlyjdressed, was running
to the door every minute watching for
the carriage.
It came at last, and Walter banded
out a lady.. Poor Elsie felt fairly sick,
as the guest, tottered rather than
walked into the room. She was white
as ashes, her hair, Elsie remembered
black as a coal not one year before,
streaked with gray, and her eyes sunk
en as if with long illness, When the
MILLHEIM, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 25., 1885.
water-proot cloak fell from her should
ers, her shabby dress was most unlike
Aunt Julia's habitual neatness. But,
the first shock of surprise over, Elsie
had no words too loving to welcome
her aunt, while soft tender kisses fell
fast upon the pale ftce.
"She is very tired, Elsie," Walter
whispered, seeing how vainly the white
lipj tried to frame words. "Get her to
rest,dear, as soon as you can."
So Elsie, tearfully loving, made her
aunt lie upon the lounge, and brought
her the most tempting of tea-trays,
stopping the broken words of thanks
by kisses and caresses. Walter, too,
by a hundred delicate attentions and
few spoken words made the guest feel
that she was most cordially and gladly
welcomed.
In her own room Aunt Julia told
Elsie somelhlug of the horrors that
had aged her more in one fortnight
than in any previous two years of her
life. She had slept upon the ground,in
a drenching rain for two Lights, then
in a tent with no change of clothing,
and the memory of the fire terrors to
haunt her. She bad begged the paper
and the stamp to write to Elsie. Then
she told of Walter's tender care of her
in the long journey, when she, racked
by pain, often could not speak for
hours, how like a son he had cared for
her comfort. It was a sad story, and
Elsie's tears fell fast.
"But now," she said, "you are at
home. I have put underclothes and
loose wrappers in here, Auntie, until
we can have some dresses fitted. Let
me undress you now."
Geutly aud tenderly the shabby
clothes were removed, the weary feet
bathed, the gray-streaked hair smooth
ed, and snowy linen put on for the
night. Then, utterly tired, Aunt Ju
lia sank into the bed, whispering :
"Think, Elsie, I have not been in a
bed for twelve nights !"
But alas, she was uot soon to leave
it. The haven of rest once gained,
Aunt Julia lay for many long weeks
dangerously ill with rheumatic fever
brought on by exposure, while the tor
tured brain, in wildest delirium, raved
of scenes that chilled Elsie with hor
ror.
All through tfrese weary weeks Elsie
was purse, while Walter supplied every
delicacy that could be found to tempt
the invalid, patiently endured the dis
comforts of a house haunted by sick
ness, and poved himself, Jennie declar
ed, "the nearest to an angel of any
man ever she seed."
Winter was nearly over before Aunt
Julia was able to leave her bed, crip
pled for life. The rheumatism had so
twisted the joints of her bands, legs
and feet, that they were useless and
most of the time intensely painful.
She fretted over the prospect of being a
burden upon Walter and Elsie, with all
the despair of a proud woman who had
always maintained her own independ
ence, and tearfully begged to be sent to
some charitable asylum, where she
would be only a public expense. Elsie
told Walter of this wish, and he went
to Aunt Julia's room.
Taking the crippled, heipiess hands
io his own,holding them very tenderly,
he said;
"Aunt Julia, Elsie has told me how
hard these little bands worked for her
for seventeen long years. I loyo Elsie
so dearly that to grieve her is my great
est sorrow. Do you think I could bear
to see her pained if her second mother
was sick and alone, nursed by hired
bands while we are able and willing to
give her love and care ? Do not speak
again of leaviug us. I have not seen
Elsie's face so sad as it is to-nighc
since you came to us."
"But, Walter, think. I may live for
years."
"1 sincerely hope you will."
"And I can never have any use of
my bands and feet more than I have
now. I can scarcely feed myself or
hobble across the room.
"The more reason you shoud have
loving care. Why, "and Walter laugh
ed while his honest brown eyes proved
bis sincerity, "do you think all the
love here is Elsie's ? I want my share
too, auntie, for I love you as well as
ray wife. I ask you to stay because I
want you here, I have not heard El
sie sigh over long, louely days, since
you came."
It took many more loving arguments
but at last Aunt Julia yielded. It was
but truth that Walter spoke when he
said site had won his love as well as
Elsie's. She was very patient under
excruciating suffering, and very grate
ful for all the loving care lavished upon
her. When the pain subsided, and she
could talk, she was charming company,
well read and full of pleasant memor
ies and bright observation.
While she felt herself a burden, Wal
ter and Elsie;regarded her as a blessing.
Walter no longer worried at leaving
Elsie aloue all day, while he was at bis
business, and Elsie neyer tired of Aunt
Julia, whose experience proved very
valuable to the little housekeeper.
A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE.
Hut month after month there was a
scarcely perceptible failing of strength
in the sorely tried body, long past
youthful vigor. The rheumatic fever
had left heart trouble, and distressing
spells of suffocation And palpitAtion of
ten threatened the invalid's life. Al
ways patient, she yet often prayed for
death to end her suffering, while Elsie
prayed ouly that the dear life might be
spared.
She had been Walter Hartman's
guest for two years, when her weak
ness increased to an alarming extent,
rapidly and certainly, till she could not
leave her bed. It was while she was
herself conscious that the end of h?r
suffering was approaching that she re
ceived a letter from her lawyer in Chi
cago informing her that he had receiv
ed an offer of twenty thousand dollars
for the lots of land she owned in . that
city.
She had looked upon her own beg
gary as so absolutely certain that at
first she could scaroely credit the news,
but Walter, in whose bauds she placed
the busiuets, soon proved the offer no
dream by accepting the terms aDd in
forming Aunt Julia the money lay in
the bauk in her name.
"Now, you can ride in your carriage
when you are well," Elsie said, smiling
but tearful, "I am so glad, Auntie.
You will have something now for your
old age."
"But no old age, Elsie," was the glad
reply. "I am glad too, darling, very
glad, but not for that."
By her own request a lawyer came
and wrote her will, and then Aunt Ju
lia, as if the care of life was ended for
ter, sank rapidly, growing every day
weaker and more dependeut upon El
sie's loving, neyerfailiDg care..
It was in early Spring, when, one
evening, as Walter came in,Jenuie met
him, her honest face ail disfigured by
crying.
"Sure, sir, it's askiug for you, Miss
Julia is."
"Is she worse ?"
"Ah, sir, she's going fast. The doc
tor says she'll not last the night."
Going fast. Waiter could see the
girl's words were true when he softly
entered the room where Aunt Julia
rested, her head upon Elsie's shoulder,
her hands clasped fast in Elsie's.
"I am glad you came," she whisper
ed. "I thioK I could not go without
thanking you* once more and saying
farewell."
"What I have done," Walter said,
his heart swelling with emotion, "was
gladiv, loyingly done. Ido not need
thanks, Aunt Julia."
"I believe that, but I am not less
grateful, because you gave from a full
heart. May God bless you and yours,
Walter. May what you have done for
a crippled, penniless woman come tack
to you iu your old age laden with her
blessing. K'ss me farewell, Walter."
lieverently he bent over Iter, pressing
a loving kiss upon the withered lips,
while tears that were no shame to his
manhood stood in his eyes. A few
broken words to Elsi\ a murmured
prayer, and the gentle spirit was releas
ed from the weary, pain-racked frame.
Tears of true love fell upon the wasted
face, placid in death's sleep. Every
kind word was cherished when the lips
that had spoken It were mute, and
Aunt Julia had two true mourners, at
her funeral, while many of the friends
of years gone by came to pay the last
tribute of respect to her memory.
It did not surprise Elsie when she
learned that her Aunt Julia had left
her the fortune that came too late to
gladden her own life. But she told
Walter, when the will was read to her :
"I am glad we never thought of the
land, Walter, in the years that Aunt
Julia was with us. It would have
made me hesitate often to show her all
the love in my heart, If I had ever
thought she would have money to leave
me."
"She knew, darling, it was all love,
yet lam glad my Elsie has some re
ward for the patient, tender care that
alleviated the suffering of the poor in
valid who restt at last."
And Elsie, nestling close in Walter's
arms, said softly :
"If I could love you more, Walter,
than I did when 1 married you, 1
should do so when I think of your
kindness and generosity to Aunt Ju
lia."
"It was odd," Walter said, "that
the money that Aunt Julia invested in
Cnicago should be actually doubled, for
I have seen her weep often when she
spoke of her 'unfortunate investment'
of her lriend's legacy.

O. P. Huntington's Butter.
Collis P. Huntington, the railway
magnate, years ago kept a general
store in Sacramento One day a trad
er came in from a mining camp to
buy stores,and among other tilings ho
wanted butter. Huntington had sev
eral tubs brought fromOrango county,
the famous butter producing region of
New York. The miners had ail the
good things that money would buy,
and the storekeeper from the mining
camp was bound to take back the best
he could find.
'I want some bang-up butter,' was
the way the storekeeper from the
camp signified bis desire.
•Well,' said Huntington, 'here is
some all the way from York State,the
real genuine Orange county article.'
Huntington ran the tier down to the
bottom of the tub, and the storekeep
er ran his nose along it when it was
pulled out.
'What's the tax on that grease V he
asked.
'That's thirty-fiye cents a pound,'
replied Huntington.
'Hain't you got something a leetlo
better ?' asked the storekeeper.
'Yes,' said Huntington, going to
another tub of the very same kind of
butter. He knew the storekeeper
would not be satisfied if he did not
show something better, and he was
equal to the occasion. 'Here's some
for fifty cents,' said Huntington as he
drew the tier out,and the storekeeper's
nose followed it from one end to the
other.
'Now,that'B a little like it,' said the
storekeeper,'but'he added withawink,
'come now, hain't you got something
that the flies won't settle on, that's
fur-lined and hair-topped ? There's
nothing too good tor us, and we've
got the dust to pay for it.'
'Yes,' again said Huntington,
'Here's something that we don't often
bring out.' The tier went down into
the third tub ot the same lot, and the
storekeeper's nose followed the line of
butter for the third time.
'How much is she assessed at?' ask
ed the storekeeper, as he looked affec
tionately on the butter.
'Sixty-five cents a pound.'
'You hain't got too much for me,'
said the storekeeper.
How He Got an Offloe.
Office seekers, if they are wise, will
profit by this story : A young man
from North Carolina went to Wash
ington to secure an appointment. He
had a petition, good references and all
that sort of thing. He kicked his
heels in the ante-rooms and lounged
about the hotels for weeks. Somehow
the great men were slow, and be fail
ed to get an office. His money was
all gone, and it was a desperate case
with him. He took the first job that
came to hand and went to work on
the streets Some of the great men
noticed this. The matter was whis
pered around until it reached the prop
er quarter. Then a good, 'fat office
was given to the young man, and he
was made happy.
There may be nothing in this story.
It may be that the Washington street
commissioner finds laborers scarce and
he may have circulated thu. report in
order to get several thousand able
bodied hands. And even if true it
may turn out like the story of the
good little boy who picked up a pin
in a store and was forthwith given a
clerkship. It will be recollected that
after the publication of the incident
all the stores in the country were
crowded with little boys picking up
pins.
Important to Scientists.
"Just look at this coin. It is more
than a hundred years old," remarked
Mrs. Yferger to Kosciusko Murphy.
"That's nothing. I've got one at
home that's a great deal older than
that. It's more than two thousand
years old."
"Look here. When you lie, why
don't you lie so it will sound probable.
Don't you know it is utterly impossi
ble for a coin to be two thousand years
old ?" observed Mrs. Yerger, pleas
antly.
"Why is it impossible ?"
"Because this is ouly eighteen hun
dred and eighty-five. In fifteen or
twenty years ftom now you may have a
coin two thousand years old. A coin
could not have been made before the
bsginning of time."— lexas Siftings.

Closing Doors.
Any one recovering from a severe
fit of illness,with overstrained or shat
tered nerves, that respond instantly
to any sudden noise, will appreciate
the following from an exchange :
"Doors are what wo have to deal
with all our lives, and yet nineteen
people out of every twenty make a
noise closing every door they go
through. Phj&icians have not yet
learned that they disturb the patient
they are trying to quiet by closing
the door noisily when they enter or
leave the house or room. It is per
fectly easy to close a door quietly, yet
few people make it a practice to do so
until some one in the house is ill, and
even then it is often forgotten. The
patient that for days and nights has
been ill and has had no rest is finally
relieved from pain,and is quietly sleep
ing. If there is nothing to disturb
him, some hours of refreshing sleep
may be expected, giving the rest and
strength so much needed ; but some
one,forgetful of the needed carefulness,
closes the door with a slam, and the
patient starts with every nerve quiv
ering,not only loosing the much need
ed sleep, but having to suffer from a
sudden awakening,so hard for a weak
person to bear. If people would prac
tice and teach care in closing doors,
until it became their habit to do so,
no one need suffer from this one of the
unnecessary noises."
A Great Organ.
The organ made by the Rosevelts for
the cathedral built by the widow of A.
T. Stewart at Garden City, L.1., is the
most extensive instrument of the kind
in the world. It has 115 stops and 7,-
252 pipes, and cost SIOO,OOO. Most of
it is set in an octagonal chamber made
by the angle where the transept and
chancel walls join, fifteen feet in diam
eter, and extending from the basement
floor upward to a distance of forty feet.
A remarkable feature is its construc
tion so as to distribute the sounds in
four different parts of the cathedral at
once.all remaining under control of the
player at the main-organ. The four di
visions are classified as follows ; Chan
cel, fifty-four stops; tower, thirty-eight
stops; chapel, fifteen stops ; echo, eight
ttops.
Steam power is employed in inflating
the bellows. There are double engines
of ten horse power beneath the chancel
division to supply it with compressed
air, and the speed is governed as far as
possible, by the rise and fall of the bel
lows. In the room beneath the vesti
bule, directly under the tower division,
is a single engine of ten horse power.
The greatest novelty is the electric
chime action, by which thirteen bells
in the organ tower are played from the
solo manual. The bells are rung with
the same force and precision as though
struck in usual manner, and may be
rung in connection with the music that
is played on the organ. The organ eas
es, made in Philadelphia, are magnifi
cent specimens of carying in decorated
English Gothic, profusely enriched.
Washington's Argument.
Speaking of two legislative bodies as
against one, there is no better illustra
tion than the story that is told by the
gr*at French publicist, Laboulaye, of
Washington and Jefferson. Jefferson
was taking tea with the father of his
country, and, having recently returned
from France, was talking of the legis
lative chamber. Washington listened
with interest to the end, and then said:
'You have iust shown the superior
advantage of the two-chamber system
of legislation.'
♦How is that ?' asked Jefferson.
♦Why, you have poured your tea out
of your cup into your saucer to cool.'
It is said that the argument was con
sidered a powerful one with Jefferson.

He Boomed Too Hard.
A Detroit firm employed a new col
lectors few days ago, and among other
bills he was given one which had long
been classed under the head of 'doubt
ful.' He was informed that the chanc
es of his getting anything were extreme
ly dubious, but was promised half of all
he could collect. In two hours after
starting out he was back with the mon
ey on the doubtful bill, and when ask
ed how he succeeded so well he repliod:
♦After getting into his office I locked
the door, pocketing the key, and told
him he'd either got to come down or
I'd break every bone in his body. He
shelled out and both of us are $lO a
liead.'
The next day the firm paid $75 to set
tle a case of extorting money by threats
of violence,' and the collector was kind
ly informed that he could have a long
| vacation for the benefit of his health.—

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
Black lace toilets are extremely fash
ionable.
Black is always much worn in sum
mer as well as in winter.
The black silk remains the most use
ful and most convenient ot toilets.
Black lace jackets are revived, and
are now made of piece lace, cut with
darts and side forms precisely as
basques are.
Embroidered net and embroidered
tulle are novelties which haye speedily
become an indispensible part of dress
making and millinery resources.
Spring costumes, in general, of great
simplicity. Even when there are two
skirts, the arrangement is much less
elaborate than a few months ago.
Deutelle-de-laine— that is, woolen
lace— is very fashionable for trimming
costumes or fancy woolen material and
mantles to match ; it is to be had in>ll
colors.
Children's costumes are very much
trimmed with this style of lace.
Velveteens too, retain their populari
ty for walking and general service
suits.
Combination costumes of the broche
and plain varieties of the Nonpareil
braud made from models in Le Monde
Elegant, are de rigueur for the devotees
of style.
As a costume for traveling, a dust
defying fabric carrying in its surfacs
the sesame to supremest style, there is
nothing like the pophn of the period.
Black and white lace toilets seem to
be worn now at all seasons of the yeai
and by ladies of all ages. They are
made upon a thin silk foundation, and
the latest styles are very simple in de
sign.
The wedding dress of the Princess
Beatrice by special order of the British
Queen, is to be of the famous make of
Pirn Bros., Dublin, Ireland, populariz
ed by Lord & Taylor of New York,who
made this superior brand a specialty
and who will send samples of any desir
ed fabric—fresh from tbe stores of
spring.
The weather has been of a nature to
assist the progress of pneumonia, and
the people neglect the most ordinary
precautions. At this season nobody

spend too great a part of the early
night in reading, amusements, and re
creations at home and abroad. Such

the early part of the night,as much as .
possible before midnight—Phrenolo

The late Frantz Abt,the song writer,
was a surprising gourmand. "A&oose,
he used to say, 'is a yery pretty bird,
but it has one great fault; it is a little
too much for one, and much too little
for two.' Coming out of a restaurant
one day, looking supremely happy,
'Herr Kappelmeister,' said a friend to
hiin, 'you seem to have dined-well'
'Yes, I had a fair dinner; it was a turk
ey.' 'And was there a good company a
round the board?' 'Yes, good—but
small; just two, indeed, the turkey and
myself.'
