And now, dear, I want you to have the cloak by next Christmas. lam anxious to see how you look in it.” ‘‘But, Edward,” gazing earnestly at the shining pieces in her rosy palm, “ you know we are not rich people, and it really seems a piece of extravagance for me to give thirty dollars for •a velvet cloak‘ “,No. it is not, either.

Edward and Mary Clark was the husband and wife of a year. He was a book-keeper in a large establishment, with a salary of fifteen : hundred dollars. His fair young wife made a little .earthly paradise of his cottage hotne in the ihnburbs of the Oity,for within its walls dwelt two lives that wore set alike music to poc fary, .keeping time to each other.

She was always attracted by her yonfig bright face, her modest yetdignified man . her, ’and now the lady saw at.once that some great sorrow had smitten the girl : Obeying the promptings of a warm, impul sive heart, she went to her and laid her hand on her unn, saying softly, “Won’t you tell ine what, is troubling you, Janet ?” ;• “1^0 thing that Anybody can help,” answered the, girl, trying still to avert her face, while the tears-dwelled in her eyes from the efforts she ‘made to speak. -• . ] *■* perhaps I can.

At lost she said kindly, “ Well, my child, try and bear up bravely, and we will see what can.be done for yon,” and the warm cheerful tones comfort ed'the sad heiart of the seamstress. The lady went up stairs and took the pieces out of her ivory portmonie. • There was a brief sharp straggle in her mind. “Somehow I’ve set my heart on this velvet cloak,” she thought, “ and Edward will bo disappointed. I was going to select the velvet this very afternoon.— But then, there’s that dying boy lying there with strange faces all about him, and longing as the slow hours of night; go by, for a sight of a sister that loves him, and would not the thought haunt me every time I put on my cloak 1 After all,' my old broadcloth is not so bad if its only turned. And I'm sure I can bring Edward over to my way of thinking. . No, you must go with out a cloak this time, and have the pleasure of knowing you’ve smoothed the path going down Ta^e J *be shadow of death, Mary Clark.” And she closed the portmonaie reso lutely, and went down stairs. , “ Janet, put up your work this moment, there is no time to be lost. Here is the money; take it and go to your brother.” The girl lifted up her eyes a moment, almost in bewilderment, to the lady, and then, as she comprehended the truth, a cry of such joy broke from her lips that its memory never faded frbm tte heart through all the after years of Mrs. Clark’s life. ***** * * * » “George! Qeorge ; !” The words leaped from her bps as the sister sprang forward to the bed side where the youth lay, his white, sharpened faca gleaming death-like from amid his ham He opened his large eyes suddenly, a flush pMseiJ over his pallid face. He stretched out his thin “ Oh Janet I I have prayed God for the sight of you once more before I die.” “ His P'Hse is stronger than it has been for two weeks, and his face has a better hue,” staid the doctor, a few hours later, as he made his moaning visit through the wards of the hospi tal. “His sister came yesterday, and watched with him,?’answered the attendant, glancing at the young girl, who hung breathless over the sleeping invalid. “ Ah, that explains it. lam pot certain but that the young man has recuperative power enough left to recover, if be could have the care and tenderness, for the next two months, which love alone can furnish.” How Janet’s heart leaped at the blessed words! That very morning she had an inter view with her brother’s employers. They had been careless, but not intentionally unkind, and the girl’s story enlisted their sympathies. In a day or two Qeorge was removed-to a quiet, comfortable, private home, and his sister installed herself by his couch, his nurse and comforter. Three years have passed. The shadows of the night were drooping already around. Mrs. Clark sat in her chamber, humming a nursery tune, to which the cradle kept a sort of rythmic movement. Sometimes she would pause sud denly and adjust the snowy blankets around the face of the little slumberer, shining out from brown curls as red apples shine out amid fading leaves in October orchard. Sh sh, said the young mother, as she lifted her finger with a smiling warning as her husband entered. “ There’s something for you, Mary. It came by express this afternoon.” He said the words in an undertone, placing a small, packet in her lap. The lady opened the packet with eyes filled witli-wonder, while her hiisoand leaned over her shoulder and watched her movements. A white box disclosed itself, and removing the cover Mrs. Clark discovered a small ele gantly chased watch. She lifted it with a cry of delighted surprise, and touching the spring the csse flow back, and on the inside was en graved these words; “To Mrs. Mary Clark. Ip token, of the life she saved.” “ Oh, Edward, it must have come from George and Janet Hill,” exclaimed the lady, and quick tears leaped into her eyes. “ You know she’s been w|lh him ever since that time, and she wrote- ipe last spring that he had obtained an excellent situation as head clerk in the firm What an exquisite gift, and how I shall value it. Not simply for itself, either. ” “Well, Mary, you were in the right then, though Em sorry to say, I was half vexed with you for giving up your velvet clonk, and you’ve not had one yet." . " No, I’ve not had one; but I never regretted it.” She said the words with her eyes fastened admiringly on the beautiful gift. “Nor I, Mary, for I cannot doubt that your sacrifice bought the young man’s life.” “ 0, say those words again, again, Edward.— Blessed be God for them,’- added the lady fer vently. \ • The husband drew his am around the wife, and, murmured reverently, ‘‘Blessed he God, Mary, who put it into your heart to do this good deed I”- - > . w A certain regiment Was 6nce ordered to march into, a small Tylorese tcjwn anil take it.

Valuable De?. •Mr. Chalkley Harvey, of Delaware county, has a dog that makes himsslf generally useful on the form by lookingafter the live stock, day and night, and keepibg it out of mischief.- He shepherd dog, of the Scotch oolley variety, aud displays no more . intelligence than other. dogs except in his own particular department He is ever on the look-out for something to do, and seems to think himself responsible fer the general oversight of all the stock in the fields. If a horse is bitched to the fence where other horses in an adjoining field can : tease him, Don is an the spot instantly and keeps all quiet.— How long he would remain at. his post is un known, but he never deserts it. Nor is it neocessary to command him to any such duties, he is always looking for a job. If two of the cattle get into a fight, Don tuns to the scene of contest and settles the' 1 matter his own way by nipping their heels.- ;If an unruly oow tosses the rider off the fence; preparatory to further mischief, Don will probably know it at once, and not allow her to approach the spot again. If the gate is loft open er the bars left down, he will see that no stock passes either in or out until he is told to corns away. Mr. Harvey heard him barking a long while last summer in a field : behind a railroad em bankment and out qf sight. On going over to him he was found standing with his head to? wards home, barking for somebody to come and take charge of about half dozen' cattle that were standing in a corner,of the field.
