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

'Mr. Arnold,' she said, 'there is some mis

sister—'
'1 expected to see llihla—yes,' said Ar
nold, truthfully ; *lnt tell me, l.ilias.ls this

'Yes, papa ! yes, yes !' cried Lilian, botll
her artits aisuit Rachel. 'Oh, love her !'
'i more than love her!' said Arnold.
'Rachel,! cannot tell you how beautiful yon

Mil la, staring in astonishment from her
chamher-wliidow, saw Mr. Arnold put one
of Itaehcl's hands IIJMUI Ids arm and walk
slowly away with her under the tirs, the
child Lilian caressing her oilier hand.
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.

Feminine Opium Smokers.
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

•Jnst tell him what sort of a day you hud
yesterday, an tie. 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

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.
These women have no time for read
ing, travel or social enjoyment; they
are forced to remain silent while their
husbands or children disenss any mat
ter of general interest Well cooked
viands and Deat houses undoubtedly
are good things, but they are not
worth tbe sacrifice of a woman's whole
thoughts, life and being. Where the
treasure is there will the heat be also
and if a woman makes a fetich of her
table linen or the temporary box in
which she lives, her mind and affec
tions soon will be measnred by them.—

General George A. Sheridan relates
this story, which he picked up in New
Orleans. A delegation of citizens of
that place visited President Lincoln to
beg him to remove Geueral Butler
from command there. The President
listened while they presented their
grievances and then mid ; 'Well
gentlemen, much as yon dislike Gen.
Butler, at least he has done one good
thing for you, for by his wise sanitary
regulations he haskepttheyellow fever
out. One of tbe delegates, a Creole,
skipped before tfa President and replied
excitedly: 'Pardon, mistah President
pardon ;it was not Butler vat keep ze
faivaire ayay from ze city; it was God*
He still have a leetle mercy for our
poor people. He do not send Ben
Butler and ze'yellow fevaire ze same
seasoonosare.' The President laughed
heartily but all tbe same General But
ler as kept in command.
