I.BI) BY A CHIM). 'The house is secured to us. The dear old Kirs, where we were Imh ii and bred, is ours. Ain't you glad, Hilda?' cried Rachel I lo bar!, us she enuio into her sister's room and threw oil' her limmet and shawl. Hilda, a drawing jtenril in her slim, w idle fingers, lilted her cool, perfect face. 'As i can't dress myself in worm eaten shingles, dine oft'of old doors, or warm my self with creaking shutters, 1 am not par ticularly enthusiastic,' she syllabled, icily. 'till, well !' rospoudod Rachel, somewhat absently. Nile busied herself about the w ide, low room, spread up the lied, dusted a shelf, watered a ]H>( of geraniums, and at last came and sat down on a low seat at Hilda's feet. 'I don't suppose you will like it, Hilda,' rlasphig her hands across her sister's knees; 'hut I know it's so hard foi you, the |savor ty and deprivations ' 'Hut what ?' interrupted Hilda, briefly. 'We have the house, and I have already made arrangements for a lsurding school.' 'What !' in astonishment. M have engaged to take five little girls to board and teach.' Hilda sank hark in her chair, her ivory brow contracted, her royal purple eyes dark ami angry. 'Children to board and teach here ?' 'I will tell yon, Hilda. I met Mrs. (di ver in the city, ami she lias lost her govern ess—the one she has had so long—and she sjsike of her wish to send the children into tlie country for the summer, and asked ine where would he a good place. They are too young to go the round of the watering-pla ces with her—she is very gay ami fashiona ble, you know, and the best of mothers, per haps- hut she seemed to wish to provide well for the girls, aud wanted them taken care of ami taught. To tell the truth, 1 had thought ef this before, and I—l ottered to Like them. Mrs. Oliver was delighted. ' 'lf you really mean to keep a school," said she, '1 will give you a note to Mrs. Eastman. She is obliged to go to Europe, and does not know what to do with I.ilias Arnold. Her mother is dead and her father is dowu South, you know.' 'lt almost made me dizzy, hut I took the note aud went up into that palatial place; and Mrs Eastman said that if Mrs. Oliver would trust me with her girls, 1 might have her niece—at least, till her father came home.' '.Hi you mean Lionel A moll ?' exclaimed Hilda. '1 don't know. I believe so. I think it very likely," stammered Rachel, delighted to see the frown chased from Hilda's brow by a look of pleasure. The latter smiled, blushed, and bent over her drawing. 'Yon know we must do something,' Rach el went on ; 'and if you would teach w hat music and draw Jug is needed, I would da all the rest.' 'Perhaps I will,' replied Hilda, evidently absorbed tn tier own t inniKbt*. 'You needn't he troubled any more than that, dear,and 1 dare say we shall get along heautifully. 1 am very fond of children, you know.' Hilda took no lieed. She had gone to the mirror, and stood arranging the dark curls alsnit her ivory forehead ; then she waltzed lightly from the room. 'She didn't take it very hard, and 1 am so glad !* sighed Rachel, si ill on the low seat, her chin in her bauds and her elbows on her knees. Why the matter had lieen so ditticult to explaiu to the younger sister was a conun drum to lte solved only by those who had known these girls all their life, and knew that Hilda was a petted, beautiful tyrant, while plain, sweet Rachel had ever been her slave. During the last year they had become or phans. Their father had died insolvent,and only the efforts of the kindly lawyer who had settled thc estate secured to them the old house and beautiful garden where they had always lived. Rachel had thought her heart would break if she lost that. Rut Hilda had se cretly determined that, if secured, the Firs should l>e sold, while she embraced a gayer life. Rut matters had turned out so differently. Here was the daughter of Lionel Arnold coming under their roof ! Very well she remembered that splendid hloiule face and elegant figure, though she liiwl only danced with him once at Mrs. Oli ver's in palmier days. He was the most distinguished man she had ever met, and thc wealthiest. How delightful he was! And now to meet him as—as —well, as the pretty young friend and teacher of his only daughter. (Hilda resolved to become popular at once with Lilias Arnold.) Why, it would sim ply he one chance in a thousand ! No to Rachel's great relief and surprise, she eutered somewhat into the hitter's plans and arrangements for making the spacious old house pay for its privileges of wide,sun lighted rooms and broad-patlied garden— the loveliest of play-grounds. Rut Hilda did not fatigue herself. It was one of that young lady's principles to al ways keep herself fresh and comfortable. Rut Rachel could not spare herself, and thc prospect looked fatiguing enough. To establish a schoolroom and rearrange the chambers was a task, hut to dress, feed, train and educate live children, from four to twelve years old, was an elaboration of industries which, once undertaken, she knew would admit of no rest. She could afford hut one girl, Nannie, a simple-minded hut honest and strong crea ture, who hail occasionally worked in the family ; hut all the responsibility and much of the toll was hers. Rut Rachel was practical, cheerful and hopeful, and could not afford to he discouraged. The children came, and Hilda immediate ly singled out LillasArnold aud showed her partiality. She certainly was a beautiful child, of great sensibility, about eight years old, and Rachel's heart warmed to the sweet, frank face ; hut her attentions and kindness were more universally bestowed, and the most winning attentions showed the young stran gers. Rachel must make happy all hearts near her. ***** With the exception of his sister, Mrs. Eastman, Lionel Arnold was the. last of his family, and one would bo tempted to ex , claim, 'Ultimus rcgnura !'—the last of the i kings—at first sight of him. Of a singularly sweet and healthy nature, I wealth and culture had added their favors, anil Hie man rouM not help b< ing wliat Ins was—a very superi>nr one. The loss of liis wife—the love of his early youth—had added to ids character the ••has tening touch of sorrow, and women univer sally, young and old, fell in love with Lion el Arnold—to their houar he it tqiokeii ; for if they loved him, he loved them with a general reverance and resjas-t that went far to making this world purer and ls'tter. Yet lie was not a marrying man. His sister asserted that she did not believe Lion el would ever marry again, and he did not himself believe so. Hut he returned from his Kouthcrn wan derings a little world-weary that spring, lie was anxious to meet his little girl, whom lie luul parted from the previous autumn. She was a very companionable girl, and he was very fond of her. Lilian, too, had a passion for her father. Site literally wor shipped 111 II). Hut, tenderly :vs Lionel Arnold thought of this child and her love, his heart felt lonely when he arrived in the eit.v. His sister was not there to welcome him, and many changes had occurred which made the old place deserted. He immediately sought Lilhis. As the carriage lolled out to the old mansion, lie recalled what ids sister had written : 'Hince I must go, I am glad to lie spared all uneasiness regarding the disposition of Lilian. I have pi acts I her with a very love ly young lady who has a select schocd just out of town. I have every confidence in her. She will take care of Lilian in tliels'st sense of the word until you return. Miss Deliart is reduced in circumstances. For merly you may have met her at Mrs. t di ver's, as Mr. Oliver was her father's admin istrator and an intimate friend of the fam ily.' Mr. Arnold did remember Hilda. The ivory perfeetion of her face had given him study for an idle hour. Ho li.'ui scarcely given the girl credit for the ability she now showed. Was she real ly so intelligent and amiably ? He thought he should like to meet iter again. And when Hilda brought Lilian into the parlor, he gave a staitof delight Sin* wore white : she looked like a princess, lie thought of t'lara Vere de Yen*— 'Oil, your sweet eyes, Your love replies !' He was charmed—as what man, w itli his heart in the right place, would not be—to find so lovely a spirit in close contact with his Iteloved daughter. Furthermore, lie was grateful to find Li lias in sucli js rfcct health and happy spirits Nhe was fast liecouiing a dainty little lady. He was proud of her, delighted with her. He could not hut express his feelings to Miss Deliart. 'I am so glad you are pleased, Mr. Ar nold. Rut 1 could not help taking sjiecia! pains with Lilias—she is very near my heart.' An ambiguous speech, which held Mr. Arnold's attention. Hilda continued to hold Mr. Arnold's at tenfion. His sister was absent, and home like Firs w ere opeii TOltlnr." tlf course, he discovered that there was another Miss Dehnrt ; hut, though he was pleased with Rachel's mild countenance, lie did not think much about her except as the relative of Hilda, and ]K>ssihly his prospec tive sister-in-law. Yes, he had already le --guti to think of this |>ossihility. Hilda,with Iter beauty and wiles, was ever tie fore him. Was she not all a woman could le ? Would he ever ngain meet so rare and sweet a character ? Was it not wisdom to secure so lovely a companion, so sweetly wise an instructress, for his beloved Lilius ? The child did not remember her mother. She had died while she was an infant. Would she Like kindly to the thought of a step-mother ? He resolved to try her. He had been walking in the garden of the Firs with her and Hilda. Finally, the lat ter was called indoors. Arnold sat down upon a rustic bench,and took his little girl UIKIII his lap. 'Lilias,' he said, 'papa is thinking of building a house atul having a home for you. How would you like to go away from here ?' 'I would go, papa, with yon—l mean I would be willing, if I could take with me somebody that I love. •Why do you love this somebody ?' he asked, with a smile, quite willing to have Hilda's virtues recited by the little lips. 'Recause when aunty left me here I ex pected to lie so lonesome ! Rut she was so good ! She took me in her arms and let me cry ii]>oii her shoulder. She held me upon her lap all the evening, and did not tell me once that I was too big a girl to lie a baby. At night she undressed me herself, and told ine storrles until I went to sleep. In the morning she brought me some lovely flow ers and a cunning white kitty to cuddle. You know how I love kitties papa ! And then she took me into the garden and show ed ine a little bod of crocuses and tulips that. I might have all to myself. All day she kept me with her,and I did get over the homesickness—the dreadful lump in my throat, you know —though I lnul thought I never should.' 'My poor little girl !' 7 am never lonely now ; she lets me tell her everything. Why, papa,it's just as if I had a mother !' 'Yes, dear,' said Arnold, much affected. 'Oh, papa, I wished you loved her, she is so good, so loving ! And she can do every thing. When Nannie is sick, she goes in the kitchen and makes the nice white bread. She cures my sore throat so quick ! She shows me liow to mend my dress, I tear in the roso-thorns, so nice you would never find the stitches. Such stories as she knows ! and songs—children's pretty songs. When I study she makes it all easy for me —it sounds so plain when she tells how it is —you know I have learned fast, don't you, papa ? And ah, she comforts all my trouli les !' added the child, with a great sigh, thinking of her former st ruggles in arith metic, and the proud Mrs. Eastman's impa tience with her childish faults. 'Lilian,' said Arnold, gently putting the child off his lap, after a pause, 'papa must go now. Rut after lam gono you may go quietly to—her'—he faltered a little—'and say to her that I love her as dearly as you do, and ask her if she will come into the garden for an hour this evening.' ***** lie was waiting, thoughtfully, under one of the graceful willows of the garden, when he lifted his eyes and saw Lilias leading Rachel toward him. He was shocked. Not but that the wo manly face and round figure were pleasing enough, hut he had anticipated all Hilda's Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance.

'Mr. Arnold,' she said, 'there is some mis take ; hut I.ill.is would lead me here. My sister—' '1 expected to see llihla—yes,' said Ar nold, truthfully ; *lnt tell me, l.ilias.ls this the dear friend yon have found ?

'Oh, love her !' 'i more than love her!' said Arnold. 'Rachel,! cannot tell you how beautiful yon are to me ; liut will yon let tne try.'

They did not come hack until the moon had set, and then a diamond engagement ring sparkled on Rachel's hand. It is true that Hilda lost no time in ex pressing her astonishment and displeasure, hut her sister was too happy, for once, to cam for her cruel sarcasm and scorn.

Just as a Cleveland (Ohio) reporter entered the room where the poor un fortunates that are addicted to it "hit the pipe," one of the ladies was saying that she would hit the pipe first and show the others how it was done* The chuli faced Chinaman with the bleepv eyes then lay down on one side ot the tray which occupied the center of the bunk, and the lady reclined on the other side She wag very handsome, her and elegant apparel was entire ly out of place in the dirty room, w Idle her phapelv head n dined on the black dirty pillow, which she would have undoubtedly scorned to touch outside of au opium joint. Her beautiful eyes, sparkling: with expectation, closely watched the manipulation of the Ce lestial as he prepared the pipe for her use. He took a steel rod, the size of a knitting-needle, and dug down the small bottle, bringing up on the end a piece of a piece of opium about the size of a pea, which he proceeded to cook over the small blaze of the lamp. When the opium sizzled and fried in the blaze he would insert it into tie small hole in the bottom of the bcwl, would fry what was left again, and re peat the operation until the bowl was filled. Then he put the filthy mouth piece to the mouth of the lady, who eagerly opened her ruby lips and closed tbeui again oyer the amber, closed her beautiful eyes and sucked tbe smoke from the deadly drug with the most apparent relish, while tbe Chinamen with half closed eyes, beld the bowl over tbe flame watched that it was kept going until the load was exhausted. One pipe was not sufficient for the lady, and the Celesti al gave a grunt of approval when she ordered him to fill it, for, as was after wards learned, John gets twenty-five cents for each pipeful, which it takes about a minute and a half to consume. After the lady had finished her second pipe she arose from the filtbv bunk to give place to another, remarking .* •Now, I'll sleep well when I get home,' The one who tried it next was a fine looking, richly-dressed lady, and as she doffed her elegant sealskin cloak displayed several hundred dollars worth of diamonds. The was ovi dently a novice at 'hitting tbe pipe,' as her companion, who had tried it first, bad to instruct her how to do it. 'I hale to lie down in that dirty place,' she said. 'Ob, you wont mind that when you get get used to it The smoke will make you feel so nice that you won't think of where you are.' Thus persuaded the lady crawled into tbe bunk and lay down watching with curious eyes the manoeuvres of the pig tail as he fixed the opium. When all was ready she took thestem between her lips and began puffing, but tbe Chinaman was not satisfied, as he gave several grunts ot disap proval and evidently considered that she had much to learn before she would become an artist at smoking. She could not go more than one pipe and said she felt dizzy when she put on her cloak. The other lady was a bout to smoke, when the second one said she was too sick to wait; so they paid John and left Proud of ll is Patch. A poor boy was attending school one day with a large patch on one knee of his trows ers. One of his schoolmates made fun of him for this, and called him "Old Patch." "Why don't you fight him ?" eried one of the hoys ; "I'd give it to him if he called me so." "Oh," said the hoy, "you don't suppose I'm ashamed of my patch, do you ? For my part I'm thankful for a good moth er to keep me out of rags. I'm oroud of my patch for her sake." This was noble* That hoy hail the courage that would make him successful in the struggles of life. We must have courage iu our struggles if we hope to come out right.

That's a sample of them all,' said the city niece, visiting at the farm house. Doctor Jackson had boon called,for Aunt Mirlndn lnul at last been compelled to own herself fairly 'boat out.' 'Blie makes such a to-do abont my house-work,' said Aunt Miranda, 'an' I'ui sure it alnt more'n common. Well, yesterday after I got up"— 'What time was that ?' interrupted Kate. 'Oh, I lielleve 'twas quarter four. I helped do the milkin', an'stralned the milk, an' skimmed yesterday's, an' spelled Eph riatn with the churnin'. Then I got break fast.' 'For which,%y that time, she had no ap iwtife,' said l(:i\ 'Why, that wasn't nothing uncommon,' sdd Aunt Miranda, mildly. 'I never feel like eating in the morning.' 'Go on,' said tho doctor. 'I fed the pigs—Kate washed the dishes— and then I had the butter to take out and salt, ami—oh, I forgot, there was some stnrtched things left over from Tuesday,and I ironed 'em.' 'Mentiou the pies, aunt,' said the merci less Kate, 'those unholy pies.' ' Why, yes, I did make five or six pies an' a sheet o' cake, but that wa'n't nothing to tire anybody. Then I got dinner.' 'Did you eat any ?* asked the doctor. 'Oh, yes, I h'lieve I did take a mite o' fried lish, thought it didn't taste real good. As soon as we could get the dishes out o' the way, I had to cut out Ephrlam's new overalls. He's dretfully in need of 'em. An' after they was done, I thought I'd ketch that settiu' hen that's been eluckia' round so long. So I did.' And then Uncle Ephraim,' suggested Kate. t>h, yes ; a shower was comin" up, and Hpliri nu asked if 1 wouldn't rake after tbe lo.nl, an' I did, then 'twas time to get sup per an* tuilk'— 'Aud feed the pigs anJ tho boas,' said Kate, 'and do something or other to the but ter, and set bread rising, and then this poor lady allowed herself to go to bed,and, I dare a ly, was to otlred to sleep.' What the doctor said need not be min utely stated. He was a sensible man, and spoke liis mind, and told ber she was wear ing herself out by overwork, but Aunt Mir r.u.da replied : 'Why, 'tain't nowadays possible for me to set down an" fold my hands. I don't see what you're both so upset about iu what I done yesterday. It ain't no more'n I do every day, au' why I should be so beat out I can't see !' She could not see that it was steady over work that beat ber out— Youth'* Compan ion. No Time For the Mind. A certain village in western Penn sylvania has been known for many generations as tbe purgatory of bad housekeepers. To be a model house keeper is one ambition of its women. Although many of them are wealthy, very few have servants. 'What 1 do myself is well done,' is their favorite maxim. Their hooses are immaculately neat, their rooms are daily aired, swept, dusted aod then closed up, while the family live in tbe kitchen. Tbe cupboards are full of lucent jellies and jams ;a new recipe creates a stir of excitement in the com munity only equalled by a new stitch iu fancy work. 'lt was years before we wonld give in to sewing machines/ said a matron of the village, 'and even now we make all underclothing by hand.' A new comer to tho town, a woman of rare brilliancy and sweetness of na ture, was ostracised because her linen sheets were not bemstitehed and she brought ber canned goods.
