“There, Mary; now donft you think I de
serte to bo called a pretty * good husband ?”
laughed the young man as he dropped down in
the lady’s palm half a dozen gold pieces.'
“ Yes, you are, Edward, the very best hus
band in the world,” and she lifted up her sweet
face, beaming with smiles, as a June day with
sunshine.
‘‘ Thank you, thank you, for the very flatter
ing words. 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. Ton deserve the
; cloak, Mary, and I’ve set my mind upon you
having it. Then it will last you so many years
that it will be more economical in the end than
. a less expensive article.”^
It, was evident the lady was predisposed to
conviction. She made no further attempt to.
i refute her husband’s , arguments, and her small
1 fingers closed over the gold pieces as she rose
| U P>_ ®ayi n & Well, dear, the supper has been

. 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. And here
dwelt also that peace which God giveth to those
who Jove/him. v

Miis. Clark came into the sitting-room sud
denly, and the girl lifted her head, and then
turned it away quickly, but not until the first
glance told the lady that the fair face was swol
len ajpd stained with tears. >
_ Jatib Hill was a young seamstress whom Mrs.-
Tr ar S had occasionally employed for the last
six months. 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 any rate you know
it does us good sometimes to confide our sor
irbws go a friend, and I need not assure you that
it sinterelygrievesmebecause of your distress.’!
so with kind words and half-caressing
; movements of the littie hand, laidon the seam*
i arm, Mrs. 0. drewfromher lips her sad
s ■
j.She -was an orphan, supporting herself by her
daily labors, and she had one brother, just rix
teeh, three years her junior. He bad beep for
some -time a kind of utider-olerk in a large
wholesale establishment, where there woe every
prospect of his promotion • hut he had seriously
iqj ureq himself in -the summer by lifting seine
.heavy; bales of igoods, and at last a dangerous
fever set in, which had finally loft him in so'ez
houStod a state that the doctor despaired of hi s
recovery. ■ ,
!“ And to think I shall .never see him more,
Mrs, Clark,” cried the poor girl, with a fresh
burst of tears. “To think that he must die
awi\y there, among strangers, in the hospital,
with no living face to bend over him in his last
hours, or brush away the damp curls from his
forehead which mamma used to be so proud of.
0, George, my darling, bright-faced little broth*
jer George!” and here the poor girl broke down
in a storm of tears.
“Poor child, poor child,” murmured Mrs.
Clark, her sweet eyes swimming with tears,
“ How-much would it cost-for you to go to your
brother and return,” she asked at last,
i “ About thirty dollars. I havnVso much
money In the world. You see it’s'nearly font

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

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. They had
broken into an oat field, and failing to get them
out, the dog had driven ithem into a corner and
was keeping them there,
A few nights ago ho barked unusually much.
at the house for some time, then ran down to
the cornfield where he Haas heard barking as if
at stock of some kind, f : Again he came to the
house in a great state of excitement, barking as
before and again ran down to the cornfield.—
Mr. Harvey being away: ©om home, the argent
demand of Don for assistance was not heeded,
and in the morning it trim seen that a mischiev
ous cow had opened the gate Into the road and
the bars into the cornfield, and that all the cows
and horses had been within the field but had not
done much mischief: to; the com and none to
themselves. „ Don hail driven them all out of the
cornfield into the! roail, and then'tried to procure
assistance to put them all into the pasture field
again, but did not allow them to ro-enter the
cornfield. He is a small dog with a very thick
coat of long hair, and sleeps on the ground, out
under a tree in the lawn, even in the stormy
nights of cold weatheji \fSuch a dog is of some
use to a former, but it innst be admitted that
too often a dog is merely a nuisance on a farm
about the house.— Chester County Timet.
A Great and Glorious Country.
The following is a literal transcription of a
letter found on the road, ami sent to ut by' a
correspondent who assures ns it is-gennine and
no mistake. It appears, ;to be from some chap
who has moved to Mississippi. He says:
“ This is a glorious country ! It has longest
rivers, and more of them, and they are muddier,
deeper, and run faster, and make more noise,
nse higher, fall lower, and do more damage
than anybody else’s rivers, It has more lakes,
and they are bigger, and deeper, and clearer
than those of any other countiy. Our rail cars
are bigger, and run faster, and pitch off the
track oftener, and kiU more people ftutp any
rail cars in this and every other country. Our
steamboats carry bigger : loads, arc longer and
broader, and burst their filers' oftener, and the
Captains swear harder! than steamboat Captains
in any other country. Our men are bigger
and longer and thicker, - can fight harderand
faster, and drink more; mean whisker, and chew
more bad tobacco, and hot bo'killed, con spit
more and spit farther jlhan in any other country.
Our ladies are richer, iprettier dress finer, spend
more money, break more hearts, wear bigger
hoops, shorter and kick np the devil
generally to a greater extent than all othmr
ladies in all other countries. Our niggers ore
blacker, work harder, have thicker -aknllsJ

any other niggers in :ahy other State: Our
