KITTY’S WAGEK.
It & against my prindples,” said Parker Pel
ham, buttoning his pockets, and inclining his chair
at an angle of forty-five degrees piazza
railing.- ‘(Taxes, taxes—notliing but 1 taxes!—
*1 lie Government must suppose that h, than is
of money; and then, right, on ! the top of
that; every woman of your acquaintance expects
you to pay funds Into her private war-treasury.
It's all nonsense—and I, for one, won’t lie victim
izcd! Besides, I don’t consider it fair for us men
to be bled ajt every pore, while the wOmen keep
their own purse intact. If you female kind are
so vitally interested in the hospitals, ahd all that
sort of thing, why don’t you lend a helping hand
yourself?” I 1 1 :
Mr. Pelham, screwed up bis lips,'tapped his fin
gers on the railing, and nodded his heiid, as ohe
would say, 1-1 guess you’ll find tljat argument un
answerable.!’ Kitty Brace, standing among the
roses that |hut out the Jane sunshine, turned
around so suddenly, that the tinted pefals showered
softly down aronnd her like a pink snoWstorm.—
Parker instinctively moved his chair hick, as he
caught the dangerous sparkle of her hazel eyes,
and saw the crimson pennon of deflance fiottcring
across her cheek. -'"Mi -
_ “Please tjo explain yourself, Mr. Pelham,” said
iutty, clasping a spray of roses very tightly in her
two lest they should fee wrath
fulfy on Parkers ears, in spite of herdeterinination
to be very proper and dignified. not
spent time and money both iii this cause? Have
we not denied ourselves even unnecessary luxury ?
Jvay have wie not even parted with ddf jewels and
trinkets, to send aid to those'who have siifferedin
our country's behalf ?” ■ p
“That’s all vety fine,” said Parker, tenting up
his nose in- lofty disregard of feminine! idgic,
“Smooths sailing, smooth sailing! You inay talk
j aS ranch as you like; Miss Kitty, hut yonTl never
|:pcreuade me you’re in earnest until J see you make
some sacrifice worth boasting of.” -
“I don’t lyant to boast, ’’said Kitty, indignantly;
“ but oh! if J were only a man—lf I cduld only,
earn money!” ’ . •>
“You’d do unheard of things, I’ve hodoubt,”
said Mr. Pelham, sarcastically. “But you can
earn money if you choose to try.”
“How, pray?” |
“Well, for Instance, those crimsom-Spnnkled
strawberry beds on the shlebilh—a man would
turn ’em into money qniok enough, awopfan don’t
choose to taka the tronUb—lt’s easler io ”
“Yes,” said Kitty, taking no notice of tl|e coverf
sneer, “but |uoWy, wants strawberries :here— ;
there is no market tofthehi.” 1 'H ■
“ There': is. fit the city, I suppose. Ah, yes— i
that's right, Miss Kitty—curl your lips find toss I

‘•Buy aonu-? of course-; Give me a dozen
baskets; and then come in, von little witch, and
tell me about it."
“A’ot just now—haven't, time,” answered Kitty,
| demurely. “Jim you shall hear of it In and In'"
Mrs. Leelere thought Kitty had never looked’so
pretty, in tulle and (Kiarls, as she did under the
quaint shadow of that Shaker bonnet—her eves
uaneing with suppressed misehiel, and the brown
curls tucked behind her ears; and tlie old maid
behind the window blinds ot‘ the opposite house
thought it very queer to see Mrs. J.eelere lean
trom her easement toikfes the strawberry girl!
**Strawberries? how much be they a"basket?"
Mrs. Jones niblied the suupsuds from her sodded
lingers, and polished them oft on her cheek apron
as she opened the basement door.
" i-ive cents? that's 100 much, i won’t give bin

ihe door was slammed in Kitty’s face with
more emphasis than politeness. Strawberry vend
ing has its unpleasant aspects as well as most
other occupations in this world; but our little he
roine was undismayed ! It takes a good deal to
daunt a courageous woman.
Late in the afternoon, Mr. Parker Pelham’s
clerk came softly into the back office, where his
master was busily engaged In writing.
I beg your pardon, sir, bnt do yon wish to buy
any strawberries ? *
“ Strawberries—no!” said Mr. Pelham, ab
stractedly.
“ I tokl the young woman so, but

Miss Kitty Brace walked in; herhazel eyes sparkled
like two stars under the Shaker-bonnet.
‘•You don’t wish to purchase, Mr. Pelham ?
That's fortunate,- for I'tb sold every berrv! Please
to count my change—£ believe it amounts to nine
cents over and above the specified five dollars
Parker Pcllmn stared at the double handful of
postage currencies in black astonishment and dis
may.
sir.”’
Howpretty she looked in that moment of bright
animation! Ordinarily Parker Pelham would have
hesitated long ere jmriing with a red cent of his
hoarded money, but beauty is a wonderful subduer
And the treasured hojje of months leaped up in that
moment pf fascination. '
“Town myself vanquished, Miss Kittv,?’ he
said, handing over a neat folded fifty dolla'r bill
“ Take it—and ’ '
He paused a moment in awkward nncertainty.
‘ Kitty—will you taka mydreatt with it!”
“Thank you sir:” said Kitty, demurely’ “hut I
should scarcely know what to do with the article
My promised husband is; fighting under the Stare
and Stripes, and ti*e heartis all I min lake care of
at one time. Good evening, sir!”
Alap, for the humiliated and discomifitted Par
ker Pfflham ! was it not fiard enough to lose , fifty
dollars, but he must lose a sweetheart, too? But
all the Rothchilds never felt so rich as Kitty Brace
when die enclosed that fifty dollar bill to pur
chase comforts for ‘.he soldiers!
Identified.— The identity of the dead soldier
Who was fount} on the bloody field of Gettysburg
with the picture of his tfiree pretty little children
tightly clasped in his hands, has been ascertained
within a day or two. The wide publicity given to
the touching circumstanca through the,medium of
the press produced the desired result, The name of
[ the deceased was Hnmraerton, and his widow and
three children reside it Portville, Catteragus county,
. w ;Large numbers of* photographic co
pies of the picture upon whicH the dying eyes of the
warrior-father dosed, have been sold, and the profi ts
realized from their sale will be appropriated to the
benefit of the children. It is hoped that a suffi
cient stun may be realised in tiffs way ted by fu
ture rales to aid materially in the education or the \
little ones who wore inode orphans at Gettysburg. !
Pat was hungry, and got off the cars for
refreshments. The care very thoughtlessly went

and shaking his fist (vs fie fiew after them. “Stop

“Set your heart at rest, Mr. Pelham: all tip

“Bui, Miss Kitty, hove vou reflected? Such
an unladylike thing ”
I see nothing unladylike in endeavoring to
serve my country’s defenders,” said Kitty, quietly;
a lambent smile sparkled in her eyes as she noted
markers perturbed brow. “Fifty dollars—it is a
very neat little sum. Ami now I must go and see
about some baskets for mv betpies—there's no time
to be lost! ”
“Fifty dollars!” feebly muttered Mr. Pelham,
as the light dress fluttered down the garden walk.
“ .What a confounded fool 1 was! why couldn't 1

fectly safe—she'll.never do such a tiling—never!"
“ Strawberries I wbo’Jl buy my stiiiwix'nifs ?
Mrs. Ledere was reading iu her cuol, quiet jmu -
lor us the silvery voice echoed through the stivers.
Instinctively she rose and pushed aside the cur
tains.
A slender figure in (1 calico , dress, her face
shaded by a 'blue-ribboned Shaker bonnet, was
leaning over the ureg railings, on which she dex
terously balanced a basket of ripe strawberries,
glowing scarlet through their covering of fresh vine
leaves.
Mnj. Leclere shaded her eves with her hand. and
looked Again.
NVlu, Kilty Bmeel can it u? possible that it

“ 1 and no other,” laughed Kitty. “1 m
