Kate Franklin read this in the paper
which lay (in the counter in the little gro
cery wlnle waiting to have an ounce or two
of tea done up and a roll of baker's bread.
She repeated the number of tho houso
over to herself as she received the clianjrc
from the grocer.
She prepared the tea after she returned
to the little baro attic, and ate her scanty
meal mechanically. She forgot how un
satisfied her appetite still was in her busv
thought.
stranger in a strange place, successively
she had tried to find a situation as teacher,
copyist, iu a store, seivinir. She had failed
in the first three, and was starving on the
last.
She would apply for the place, but she
would need rcfcrcuccs. Only one person, she
knew in the whole great city of sullicient in
fluenceMrs. Davenport, tho rich, haughty
step-sister who had ill-treated her gentle
mother whiloshe lived, and hated ICato her
self.
Perhaps Kate thought sho would permit
her to refer to her, because, glad to have her
descend to menial employment.
Kate was competent for the situation, for
during her mother's long illness and her
father's absence she had cntiro charge of
their large family and splendid house.
Hut an "elderly woman." Now Kate, was
not an elderly woman, being only 20: but
sho remembered, with a sort of pleasure,
mat 111 private, theatricals 111 happier days
she had imitated the voico anil assumed the
character of an old woman with great suc
cess. She knew how to stain the skin to give
an old and wrinkled appearance, and sho j
had in tho bottom of a box somo falso grav
hair and .1 muslin cap worn 011 one of theso
occasions, fcho did not need to look so very
old only to present a mature and matronly
appearance.
Mr. Edward Dayton waited at homo after
his dinner to sco tho respondents to his ad
vertisement. Ho was a handsomo man, not
yet 30, with a gay, frank, good natuied
countenance.
He leaned back in a nonchalant way, his
feet on another chair.
"There ought to bo a Mrs.Dayton to man
ago these housekeeping matters. Well,
there's timo enough."
Two applicants wcro seen and dismissed
in Mr. Dayton's gentlemanly way.
A third was ushered in. Mr. Dayton
instinctively laid aside his cigar, and placed
a chair for his visitor.
Tho ladylikcness and propriety of her
manner pleased him nt once, "Fallen for
tunes," ho commented to himself.
Sho answered his questions readily, but in
few words.
"A silent woman a gooel thing," was his
inward remark.
"I think you will mit 111c. Mrs. ,
what may I understand your namo ?"
"Franklin."
".Mrs. Franklin, you will bo required to
go out of town, about seven miles, to my
country house, Oak Grovo in the town of
Embury, on tho Grand Central Railroad,
The salary I propose to pay is $000 per
annum. Do my terms suit vou?"
Sho answered quietly that they did.
"Then it is all nettled. l!y tho way, I
supposo you havo references, though that is
a mere matter of form."
The namo of Davenport was given,
"Davenport? Robert Deavenportl I
know them. All right. If convenient, you
will please go to-morrow, Mrs. Franklin, or
tho next day. I shall not como till tho
middle of next week, nnd probably bring a
friend or two with me. Have the chambers
in tho ccntro and wings prepared, if you
plcnso. Tho housekeeper there now will
not lcavo until Saturday. Sho will show
you round."
"la Mrs. Is your wife, there, or to go
soon!"
Ho laughed.
"Mrs. Edward Dayton? No, alio is not
there, and I do not know of her going ut pres
ent," Adding moro seriously; "I have
not the pleasure, Mrs. Franklin, of having n
wife," with a slight stress on "pleasuro."
A vivid color camo into tho brown check
of tho housekeeper, and her manner showed
evident euibiurassmeut,
"I thought-I belloTC I cannot " nnd
stopped.
Hcdldnotnotlco It. Ills mind had nl
rtAdy turned to other things. He roe.
"It's l fettled, I bellete. Ily the way,"
his eyes falling on the ruty black dres,
"you nmy like an advance, as nn eridence
of ths bargain It is quite cti'tomary, I be
Here, to do so."
The housekeeper's linnd closed on the
fifty dollars that ho gate her, nnd the words
she would have said were left unuttcrcd.
Sho moved to tho door. Ho opened it for
her courteously.
"Good morning, madam."
"Good morning," she replied.
"I cannot starve. I mnt go. I can keep
up my dlrgulje," she murmured.
Mr. Dayton, accompanied by a friend.
arrived at his country hou-a the middle of
tho ensuing week. Everything within nnd
witnont the home w In perfect order. If
tho new housekeeper had made a ferr mis
takes at first.thf j were soon rectified. Every
room that she had touched showed .1 magi
cal change.
Her predecessor had been one of the kind
who bclicTcd in tho sunlight never entering
a room for fear of its fading the carpet'.
Mr. Dayton felt the change without know
ing the reason of it. He looked around
him with a suti.flcd air.
It was not possible to find fnnlt with the
variety and quality of the food placed be
fore them, nor the manner of its being
served; and tho table appointments wcro
perfect; and Dayton congratulated himself
upon having such a jewel of a housewife.
The weeks passed and a holiday came.
Mr. Dayton had gone to town the day pre
vious to remain the rest of the week. The
housekeeper had 'given permiion to the
servants to go also. She felt a welcome re
lief to hare the house and the day to her
self. She locked the doors carefully after
tho last servant. She would have no dinner.
Only lunch. She had almost forgotten her
real character in that which sho a'sumed :
hut to-day she could be herself without fear
of intrusion or discovery.
She laid aside her cap nnd gray drecs.
wahed the stain from her skin, nnd ar
ranged her luxurious hair In becoming curls
and donned a pretty, fresh muslin, which
iittcd well the slight, graceful figure. This
done, sho entered the parlor and stood he-
fore the mirror, as attractive a figure a.s one
would often see.
" Truly, I havo forgotten my own looks I
I am Kate Franklin after all 1" sho said.
Removed from her long restraint, her
lirits rebounded. She felt gsv.Iight-heart-
ed, and like committing any foolishness.
Miss Franklin," sho said, in tin
mincing affected tones of an exquisite. "It
would be inexpressible pleasure to hear the
mtiic of that long silent voice."
It would be a great pity to deprive, vou
of it then," sho answered, in her natural
voice, "and myself also," sho added ; and
going to the piano she opened it, and played
a few pieces with exquisito taste and skill.
and then she sung song after song, in a
sweet, clear, cultivated voice. She choso
at first the brilliant and triumphant, then
the sad and plaintivo succeeded. There
wcro tears in her eyes when sho rose. Hut
to-day her moods were capricious.
"Mrs. I'ranklm, who is playing on the
iano 1" she asked, 111 an excellent imitation
f Mr. Daytou'3 voice.
"It is only I, sir, dusting the keys, thev
need dusting so often," she replied, in Mrs.
I'raiiLlin's meager tones: and sho dusted
them vigorously with her pocket handker
chief. "All, me," she said, "Xovv what other
foolish thing shall I do to prove myself not
nn elderly housekeeper, but a young girl,
who, by virtue of her age, should be gay,
b i!glit of birth; wealthy and of considera
tion, visited and visiting, us Mr." Dayton's
lady visits and is visited. Ho is noble ifoml
ind handsome," sho said with a sigh, "tf ho
will bo happy. How gracefully sho dauced
hero nt tho party tho other evening, whon
tho old housekeeper was permitted to look
hhe looks good and amiable, too. Mr.
Dayton danced with her thrco times. I
wonder if I havo forgotten how to dance?"
and humming an air sho floated gracefully
about tho room.
Sho stopped breathlcss.hercliceks brilliant
with tho exercise, her splendid hair dis
arranged. "I believe I feel liko stiff, old Mrs. Frank
lin, with whom dancing doesn't agree."
"Ono moro bong by that heavenly voice,
Miss Franklin, and I shall go away dream
ing I havo heard angels sing," in tho ludi
crously affected voico she had before imi
tated. "Ah," sho laughed, yet half sadly, "tho
compliments poor old housekeeper Frank
lin recoives, I hope won't quite spoil her.and
turn her silly old head."
She mt down again at tho piano, and sang
"Home, Sweet Home," and then played one
of Rcethoven's grandest, most siiliMnn
pieces.
Sho rose and closed tho piano.
"The carnival is ended. Kate Franklin
disappears from tho scene, and Madam
iTausiin cntera."
Neither Mrs. Dayton nor tho servants
would havo suspected, from tho placid and
Ugtillieet deportment of tho housekeeper
when they returned nt evening, of what
strango freaks sho had been guilty. Tho
housekeeper, as usual.wheii Mr. Dayton was
alone, sat ut tho table. It had commenced
to rftin violently.and tho weather had grown
suddenly cold.
Mr. Dayton, ns ho had dono occasionally.
invited her to tho library, where a cheerful
firo burned in tho grate. Ho read the letters
uud papers which ho had brought from town,
winio sho knitted.
1V11 houror moro passed In silence: indeed.
tho housekeeper seldom spoko except when
asked a question. At length Mr. Dayton
looked up to her and said abruptly:
"Your'a must ho a lonely life, madam, If
it in not a painful subject, may I ask how
long sinco you lost your husband ?'
Two hands suspended their employment
two eye looked up to htm with an alarmed
expression. In his serious, Bympathetlti
countenance there was nothing to frighten or
embarrass, but tho red grew deeper on her
brown cheek.
"It is a painful subject," sho said at last,
flittering. "If you will jdcaso exciiso
me."
Ono morning ho was speaking of the
great loss to ehildiin in being deprived of
tueir arcius,
"I never know a mother," ho said, f "Sho
died before my earliest recollection. ' I be
Revo that, man iu I am, if I had a mother,!

should go to her with all my griefs, ns a lit
tlo child would. I have sometimes thought
of nking you to act as mother in tho quiet
evening", when 1 have longed to confido in
some one. My mother would havo been
noont your nge, I think "
Again there was a vivid color in tho cheek
of the housekeeper, such as is rarely seen iu
the aged, but it was accompanied by a
qturcr in tnc month, nnd ended in a cough,
but both mouth nnd check were quickly
corered with a handkerchiefs, and quite a
violent nt of coughing succeeded.
Mr. Dayton, however, did not seem to
notice, thongh he had given her one curiou
glance, instantly withdrawn, and ho con
tinued:
"For instance, respecting matrimony.
whoe advice of so much value as a mother's?
Who o quick to ?ee through character and
miikegood selection? Had you ason.whom
nloai here would you select for n dntighter-ln-Iaw,
.Mrs. Franklin?"
"I am not acquainted with any of tho
young Indies, Mr. Dayton," sho answered.
"Trat, bnt you have seen them all, and
nre, I should judge, a good disccrner of
chnrncter from observation. Whom would
you select from those yon havo seen?" ho
persited.
She reddened nnd paled.
"I have heard tho Misses Grand lson
highly spoken of. Their appearance would
seem to prove tho truth. I doubt not that
you agree with mc,"sho replied quietly.
it was now his turn to color, which ho
did slightly.
,'I do agree with you," ho auswered em
phatically.
It was late in September. Mr. Davton
and his housekeeper wcro both in tho parlor.
lie nad been unusually grave ail day. It
scemcu to the housekeeper that his manner
was changed toward her.
"I have a few questions to ask, if you will
dermit me, Mrs. Franklin?"
She felt instinctive alarm at his tone.
"Certainly," with nn effort.
There was an ominous pause.
"1 have been told," he said, "that Miss
Kate Franklin, a young lady, by disguising
herself, palmed off off upon mo for several
months as an elderly lady. Is there any
truth iu tho story?" looking scarchingly at
her.
She started to her feet, then trembling
sank back into a chair.
"1 cs, it Is true," sho murmured, falter-
nigiy.
I confess I fail to sec for what obiect.
My heart you could hardly expect to g.iin in
mat character.
"Your heart," sho repeated, scornfully: "I
md no such laudable ambition ; I had never
seen or heard of you till I saw your adver
tisement. Would you liko to know for what
purpose I took upon me a disguiso so repug
nant on shall? To savo myself from
starvation. I had eaten but ono meal a day
lor a week when I applied to you, and was
suffering with hunger then. My money was
all gone, except a few pennies, with which
to buy a roll of bread for the next day's
meal, and I had 110 prospects of more, for
1 had been refused further sewing. Hut why
should you find fault?" her iiride rising.
'What matter it I were MIsor Mrs. Frank'
lin, old or young, if I fulfilled tho duties I
undertook? Have I not taken good care of
your house Have I not made vou comfort
able? If I havo not, deduct from this quar
ter a salary, which you paid this morning,
whatever you like?"
I have no fault to find, except for plac
ing yourself and me in an awkward position
should this becomo known."
aves of color mounted to tho poor
housekeeper's temples. "I thought Imeant,
that no one should know, least of all, you
besides I thought when I engaged to come.
that you wcro married. Oh, what shall I
do? And she burst into a passion of
tears.
Mr. Dayton's manner changed.
"Kate! Kato 1 I did not mean to distress
you. Jouody knows but me nobody shall
know." And he soothed her tenderlv.
"Kate, look up. I love you with my whole
heart. I want you to bo little hou-ekeeper
my wife always. Kate, what do you
say I taking her 111 his nrms and laying his
cheek against hers. "My ovrn Kate, U it
not?"
Sho murmured something between her
sobs that tho must go away this lulu
uto. "Nonscn'e, darling I Haven't you been
hero for months? What difference cau a
day longer make? You aro safe with me,
Katie. Oh, becauso I know you nro Miss
Franklin, will you give mo the inexpressible
pleasure of hearing from that long-silent
voice ? Oh, Katie, you bewitched mo that
day I lam afraid you will bewitch mo al
ways. Rut, Katie, let's takoofl' theso trap
pings," untying her cap and removing the
gray hair, and with this action down fell
the wealth of brown tresses.
"Oh, .Mr. Dayton, you wcro not surely
you wcro not homo that day?" looking up,
covered with confusion.
"Yes, Mr. Dayton was in tho library,"
with an accent 011 his namo which Kate un
derstood.
"Oh, Edward I and you teased mo with
ill those foolish questions when you knew I"
"Yes, my Kate, why not?"
"Hut you looked so innocent."
He laughed.
"I shall soon, I hope, havo somebody, if
not a mother, lo confido in; and, Kate, it is
my duty and pleasure to give you a husband,
so in future you can answer without so much
pain when ho is inquired alter.
1 011 are too generous I"
"I can afford to be gcneroui," ho said.
earnestly, "when I havo had tho precious
gia of your lovo. Kato, blest forever be tho
day that I first engaged my housekeeper."
It certainly seems hard to rcalizo that tho
worship of apes, which has been common
from a period of reinoto antiquity, still pre
vails extensively iu Japan and India, and
also iu putts tf Africa. In reference to this

THE COLUMMAX, VOI,. IX, xo. CI
COLUMBIA linMunitAT, VOL. XL, NO. 40
A Si.votjf.An Stouy A strango story is
reported from Sraln. A detachment of Al
fonslst soldiers recently discovered in .1 seclu
ded part of n mountain chain a cavern which
wns inhabited by robbers, who had taken ad
vantage of the civil war In order to ply their
criminal avocations. An alcove was attach
ed to the subterranean- dwelling, tho door of
which the soldiers broke open. They wero
astonished to find tho apartment so decently
furnished, and provided with books, flowers,
and even a piano. In an easy chair sat a
vencrablo old man. The soldiers interrogat
ed him, but obtained only incoherent rcpllc:
tt has been ascertained, from tho confession
of one of tho robbers, that the old man was
the cashier of a banking firm at llourgos
that they had broken into tho bank, and 9to
ten the safe, and had taken the cashier with
them, in hopes that he would assist them t
open the safe. During the retreat, which
was marked by many adventures, the intret;
id old man succeeded in evading tho vigi
lance 01 his guardians for a short timo an
secreted the safe in a placo where he would
bo able to recover it afterward. When the
booty was miss-d, and tho robbers failed to
induce tho cashier to reveal to them tho
place where it was concealed, thev revived
tho proceedings of the famous chaficurs by
roasting tne feet of their victim in order to
extort a confession. Hut the inflicted tor
tures had a different effect. Tho man got
mad, and it was with the object of restoring
him to reason that the robbers bestowed tho
utmost attention on him in hopes that when
110 recovered his reason ho would reveal to
them the place where tho safe was concealed
Inn House-Fly H7ialftewic of them
when coM weather begins. A reporter recent
ly nlvcd .1 naturalist, who has given consul
erablo attention to the study of tho nature
and hapits ot insects, his opinion ou Hies,
ami 11c said : -
"Flies begin to appear in June, -become
very abundant toward tho end of August
and do not disappear until killed by cold
weather; many of the eggs aro deposited in
dung, in which the fleshy larva; undergo
uicir transformation. 'Alio swarms of sum
mcr are tho progeny of a few individuals
which havo survived tho winter in somo
protectee' nook, and aro not produced from
eggs laid tlio preceding season. It is nos
siblo that .1 few may pas the winter in the
pupa state, and bo developed by the warmth
of spring. Among tho thousands of domes
tic flics, all of a specie are of the same size.
thoso larger or smaller being of different
species. The house-fly of Europe is consid
ered distinct irom tho American species.
"The fly is an absolute cosmopolite, as it
is said there has been no part of tho world
yet visited where it is unknown, and in
some countries itcxists in such quantitiesas
to bo a serious evil. Tho fly is a natural
scavenger. It feeds upon every description
of animal and vegetable matter, always pre
ferring such as is in a state of putrefaction.
and thus they are useful in tho removal of
nuisances, though they frequently become
nuisances themselves by soiling books, paper,
furniture, window panes, mirrors, &c."
Taste ix Dress, Tho French woman's
rule in dress is a good one to modify pre
vailing fashions to suit her' own taste. In
a word, even- woman in Paris dresses to suit
her individual fancy, and consequently wc
havo that infinite variety in Paris styles.
As a rule, with few exceptions, French wo
men btudy what will become them, more
than what is tho extreme of fashion, and
combine tho two so as not to appear eccen
tric or old fashioned, and yet not wear any
thing unbecoming just becauso it is fashion
able. A French woman never cares to have
many dresses, or as they express it, toilettes,
at a time ; becauso a dress never looks fresh
and new that has been hanging up or laid
by for some time. Sho keeps one dress for
early morning wear on tho street, another
for visits, and another for houso wear. She
adds a fourth for soirees or receptions, if sho
can afford it. Whenever eho takes off a
dress she folds it up aud lays it by (sho
never hangs it up) and thus her toilets always
look fresh and new.
Sleep ror. Children. There is no dan
ger that children can sleep too much. Tho
old proverb, "who sleeps, eats," is illustra
ted in llioso children who sleep most.
Wakeful children arc almost always pee
vish, irritable and lean. If they can bo in
duced to sleep abundantly, thoy aro quito
likely to been me good-natured and plumn.
Their sleep should bo as much during the
nours 01 uark-ncss as possible, and it is bet
ter that they should go to bed before sulisct
to havo their sleep out, than to Ho long after
sun-rise in tho morning. It is well to let
any healthful growing child or youngperson
sleep till ho wakens himself, and then givo
him such variety and amount of outdoor
cxerci.e as shall mako him glad when bed-
timo couid.
A OAnm'UL Husband. In a villago of
Poiton a woman.nftor being very ill.fell into
a lethargy, ncr husband and those about
her belioved her to bo dead. They wrapped
her up in nothing but a piece of linen, ac
cording to the custom of tho poor pcoplo in
tho country, and caused her to bo carried to
tho burial ground. On tho way to church
tlioso who were carrying her passed so near
a bush that tho thorns pricked her, nnd she
recovcreel rrom her lethargy. Fourteen
years afterward sho really died, at least it
was so believed. As they were carrying her
to lie r burial and drew near a bush.'the hus
band cried out two or threo times, 'don't go
near tho hedges.'
When a lamp explodes, or is unset, and
tho oil take fire, great difficulty is exper
ionccd in extinguishing tho flames. Water
docs harm, for it will spread tho oil and in
crease tho area of fire. A cloth thrown over
t ho blazo will stiflo it, and so will loose pnrlb
but theso are not often at hand. Tho best
way to check an oil firo in such emergencies
is flour, and it is generally accessible. Lib.
erally scattered over burning oil, it absorbs
tlio lluld, deadens tho flame and can readllv
bo gathered up and cast out-doors when the
firo is extinguished. This fact is worth re
membering in these days of kcroscno accl
denU. An exchange says: "A friend of ourn has
a tittle niece, whose mother, thinking it
timo for tier to put away her chlldieh things,
in formed her that 'Santa Olaua was no per
son nt all; that there wns 110 such perttou.
Whereupou the child solemnly asked:
'Mamma, havo you been telliug me tics
about God too?" There's an excellent ser
