Annt l'rUcilla's youth ; she never would
niter it -one of the wide old-faihioncd kind
with pot hooks and blazing lugs, and a bake
oven at one side. The oot-blackeued brick
and faint red glow made a background for
my siten he-ad, with its great twist of fair
hair, and lily-like-slender throat. Suo is
very pretty, prettier than any body lever
saw. I recollect a picture as I looked at her
a picture of Cinderella sitting in just such
an altitude by the chimney-side. She was
equally picturesquo at that moment; solar
as looks go, equally worthy of a prince ; but
alas I no fairy godmother was likely to em
erge from the atplo-room for her benefit,
Aunt I'ris, who iti a small way had enacted
that part toward ua, wis gone, and her big
rocking'chiur, which we had no heart to sit
in, swung empty in its accustomed place.
tvne ot n like emptiness which we were
cnu'cioux of in other thing-', and would feel
for a long time to come.
Neither of us spoke for a while. We
were tin d and spiritlcs., and John Slade
was coming presently to talk over thing", so
wesavid our word-".
Dr. Slado John wns Hue's lover." Their
poor little engagement had been formed two
years ago. I low u any years it was UKeiy
to la-t, nobody could guess ; but they held
on to it bravely, and were content to wait

sounded without ou tho gravel, and with a
lillle tan courteous hut unnecessary, for
the door was never locked lie entered, gave
Siie a gentle kin, mo another, and sat down
between us in Aunty's rocking-chair. It
was a comfort to have him do that. The
lion!' eeined less forlorn at once.
"Well, children, how has the day gone ?"
he asked.
"Pretty well," replied Sue. "We have
been btisv, and are tired to night, I think,
I'm glad you are come, John dtar. We an
getting lonely and dismal, Crea and I."
Lucietia is my name ; but Sue and Aunt
I'ri-cilla always called me "Crec."
John adjusted a stick on the embers, and
witli one daring poke sent a tomrue of bright
tlanip upward before he took Sue's hand in
his broad palm, and patting it gently, said :
"Now let's talk over matters, Wt ought to
dicide what wo are to do, wo three."
That "three" was very comforting to me,
but John alvas is a comfort. Howas"made
mi," Aunt l'ris 'aid. And he certainly car
ries out the purpose of his creation.
"Did your aunt leavo any will ?" he went
on.
"Only this ;" and I brought from between
the leaves of the big Rible, where we had
found it, n half sheet of nole-paper,oii which
dear aunty had stated, in her own simple
form, that she left all she had to be equally
divided between her nieces, Small and
Lucretia I'endexter. Squire Packard's name
and Sarah l!nickett's,oiir old washer-woman,
were written below as witnesses,
"Very well," aid John. "That's good in
law, I fancy ; or if not, you are tho nearest
relations, and it's yours anyway. What
property did your aunt own besides this
house V
"She had an annuity of two hundred and
fifty a year, nnil fifty dollars more from some
turnpike stock. That's all, except the house
atW furniture, and there is a mortgage of
three hundred dollars on that. Squiro Pack
ard holds it. The annuity stops now, doesn't
it 7"
John looked as though he wanted to whis
tle, but refrained.
"Your aunt was a clever manager," he
said "a capital manager. She made a very
little go a great way, didn't nhe? I don't
know any one else who could live ou three
hundred a year, with mortgage interest tak
en out. You have always seemed cozy and
comfortable,"
"Wo always have been. Hut wo had the
garden, you know, nnd tho cow ; that gave
us two-thirds of our living, Aunty was a
wonderful housekeeper, though. Isn't it a
great deal cheaper to feed women than men?
She always said so."
"I suppose it is. Men aro carnivernus
A diet of tea and vegetables don't suit them
very well; tliev are apt to grumble for some
thing more solid. Well, my dear girls, our
Humming up isn't very satisfactory. Even
without the mortgage, you couldn't Ilvo on
fiftv dollars a year."
"No. And I've been thinking what we
could do. So has Cree, though wo haven't
spoken to each other about it I might
teaeli a district school, perhaps. And

"I eniild take a place as plain cook There
isn't any tiling ebo I can do'so well. Plain

of perquisites j and I gave u laugh which
was meant to be merry,
It is hard," said John, with a ir.oo.lv look-
on his face which was foreign to its usual
frank brightness. "How much a little mon
ey would sometimes do for people who can't
got it, nnd how little it is worth to other
people, who iling it away without a thought
of its value I A thousand dollars, now ?
Any ricli man would consider it a mere
bagatelle In ids expenses j but if I could
command the sum, it would make us three
comfortable for life,"
"How do you mean ? What would you
do witli a thousaud dollars if you had it,
John ?"
"I'll tell you. Langworthy Is going to
sell his practice,"
"Oh 1"
"It is a large practice, for the country.
you know, It brings Mm in six or eight
hundred a year sometimes more. He has
a chauce to go into partnership with his
brother out West, beiotw Lite and he'll btll

"Hut, John, mine peoplo llko iyou better
than they do Dr. Langworthy."
l es, some peoplo do. Hut tho question
is, will they like mo better than the other
man who buys Dr. Langworthy out? If I,
were that man, I should command both
radices. It is a chance, don't you seo ?
Hut a new man coming In has Ills chance to
ut me out.''
"I see. What can be done ?"
"Nothing," with a rueful glance. "That's
llie worst of it. I can only keep ou and
hope for the best. Hut it is hard, when with
this miserable! thousand dollars I could
double my chances and make a nico homo
for you two. Sue, d trling, don't cry,"
She had laid her check down on his arm,
but she wasn't crying, only looking sadly
Into the fire.
"If we sold everything, all this which
aunty left lis thphomc,evcry thing couldn't
we get tho thousand dollars ? I asked, Ues
peralely.
John shook his head. "I couldn't let you
do that, Cree, in any ca9e. You'll want
your share some day yoursell ; it inusu't go
into buying a practice for me Hut, apart
from that, houses sell so badly no,v that
this wouldn't realize much over tho value of
the mortgage at a forced sale. And the fur
niture, though worth a good deal to keep
would go for nothing at an ruction. That
plan wouldn't do at all for any of us."
"Still, there's no harm in thinking about
it, and seeing what we have, and what It's
worth," I urged, loath to givo up any ghost
of a chance. "Wo may do that, mayn't wo
John?"
"Of course. That is a thing you must do
sooner or latei. Look over the home and
make a list carefully, and we'll consult and
fix on approximate values. Don t hurry
about it, though. Next week is time enough,
and I know you need rest."
"Rest is the very thing I don't need and
can't take, I cried impetuously. "Some
thing to fill up the long days and keep us
from getting blue is what wo want. We'll
make the list to-morrow John,"
"A little more talk and he roso tn go,
"Did you stop at tho post-office, John ?
"Yes. Therejwas nothing for jou."
"Not oven tho Intelligencer f" asked Sue,
languidly.
"I forgot to tell you. There has been a
great fire in New York, and the Intelligencer
is burned out. Abner brought tho news
over ; it was telegraphed to the junction.
They say the building is a total loss, so I
suppose there wont be any publication for a
while tome days at least.
"Poor aunty ! how sorry she would be !"
sighed Sue. "Aunty took tho paper ever
since it began, forty-five years ago. Shenev
er mi.seu t numler. Ibere it all is, up
tairs .tacks and stacks of it. She was so
proud of her file. It's no use at all now, I
uppose, is it John ?"
"The ragman will give a penny a pound
for it," I .suggested ; "that's something."
We'll weigh the lot one of thee days,
and see what w can realize," said John.
"Good night, children."
It was a ghostly task which we set out to
do the next day. The past itself, the faint,
fragmentary pa-t, seems to be wrapped ti
itid inclosed in those bundles of time-worn
articles with which elderly people encumber
their store rooms and closet shelves. Some
lirot antiquity exhales as you open them,

unt Priscilla had been a born collector
She loved old tilings btcausethey were old,
apart from use or value, and instinct and
principle combiued had always kept
her from throwing away in her life. Our
list was a very short one.. A few chairs and
tables, a ilnztn ft) in spoons and a small tea
pot in silver,the huge newspaper heap which
had appraised at a penny a pound these
seemed the only saleable things ; and we
looked comically and grimly into each oth
er's faces as we set them down.
"I wish it were posstblo to eat Intelligen-

"They say newspapers make excellent
counterpaues," replied Sue "warmer than
blankets."
John caino as usual in tho evening
"Here's enterprise 1" he called out as ho
came in.
"What is enterprUo ?"
"The Intelligencer .' Heboid it, large as life,

hours after the fire 1 That's what I call
pluck."
"Isn't it?" cried Suo admirably, as she
drew the paper from its wrapper, and held
it to the blaze that she might see the fatnil
iar page. Meanwhile I took from my pock
et our melancholy little list.
"You wero right, John. Sue and I have
searched the house over to-day, and this is
all there is of any value the furniture, a
little silver, and those wretched Intcltigen

I was interrupted by a startling cry. Sue
was gazing at the newspaper in her hand
witli large, dilated eyes. Her cheeks had
flushed pink,

of us cried in a breath.

Trickins a Mnglclan,
Heller, the I'rcstuligitateur, Beaten at His
Own Game.
In the car with Mr. Heller and a friend,
in Huston, the other day, were somo half-
dozen people, among them an estimablo old
lady who had evidently been doing her mar
keting, for sho carried a basket on her lap,
containing groceries, vegetables, and in par
ticular a large quantity of eggs. Mr. Heller
sat down beside the old lady, and for a few-
instants nothing of moment happened, Mr ,
Heller then stooped down and picked up
two eggs from the tloor, and handing them
to the old lady, remarked that she was los-
ing them. Tne old lady, n little surprised,
thanked llie polite gentleman, and every-
thingngaiu relapsed into silence. It a few
moments a repetition of the scene. The old
lady wondered how it was, she hadn't no
ticed the eggs fall, and still more when Mr,
Heller a third time picked up) several eggs,
which lie insisted had dropped from the
basket. This so puzzled tho old lady that
she got up, and taking the egs out f the
basket, slie disposed them on the seat, and,
taking out the vegetables in the same man
tier, put the eggs back mid the articles on
top of them, and then tat down again. Mr.
Heller then leaned over to a gentleman who
was on the other side of the old lady, and
remarked audibly :
"I saw you do that. It's wrong,"
"What do you mean, sir? What's wrong?'
said the gentleman addressed, rather indig
mint at being spoken to in this way.
"You shouldn't have taken those eggs."
The old lady turned toward the gentle
man and looked at lnm very HUpicinuly
while the ol her answered with great gravi
tv:
"Are you mad ? I took no eggs "
"Hut I -aw you," said Heller. "
Hy this time the atlentiou nf the other
pasngers in thecr was directed to the con
versation.
It is false!'' exclaimed tho ono accused
evidently feeling verv uncomfortable.
"mat is too much sir, when 1 say t stw
you," said Heller, and with that h rose
mil pas-ed liefore the old lady, who looked
half frightened and half angry, and stood
belnro the gentleman accused.
"What do you say to that?" said Heller
takins from the man's nvereoit pocket two
eggs, and handing them to the old lady
"and that," taking two more from the other
p cket.
"Lord, 0 Lord 1 who would a'thoughtit?1
said the old lady.
The gentleman from whose pockets the
eggs had been taken rose from his seat and
stood opposite Heller, saying :
"I don't understand this; perhaps we can
find some more,"
"No doubt I can," said Heller, putting
his hand in a side pocket and tnking out
three eggs, two more from his hat nnd a
couple from his trowsers. This occupied
some minutes, as Heller proceeded very de
liberately and slowly.to the evident surprise
and indignation of the other occupanU of
the car, "And here, look here," continued
Heller, taking n box of spices from the
man s hind pocket.
"Put that man oil' the car," said some
body.
The car was stopped aud tho man on
whom all this had been played waited for
no further developments, and bolted through
tho car as fast as his legs would carry
him.
The old lady confounded herself in thanks
to Mr. Heller, and said sho would never
have suspected he was such a nico looking
gentleman, &c. Mr. Heller's friend whispe
ed to somebody next him, however, and
pretty soon everybody in the car was laugh
ing, the old lady being the only otie who re
mained in ignorance that this was ono of
Mr. Heller's jokes.
l!y aud by the car reached Cambridgo
aud Mr. Heller and his friend got oil'. As
they walked along the friend said he thought
he had noticed that Mr. Heller had a pin in
Ins scarf.
tfo I have," said.Mr. Heller, and he felt
for tho pin, but no pin was there. "Could
I have put it iu my pocket ?" ho searched
in his vest, "Halloo !" he exclaimed, wliere
Is tho money ?" and he nervously sought
through all his pockets. "Sold by Jove."
Mr. Heller was minus a cameo scarf pin,
$23 iu bills aud a gold match-box. He had
onco struck tho wrong man, who while Hel
ler had been quietly going through hint was
going thruugh Heller, Strange to ;av,
when Mr. Heller got back to Huston, he
mentioned the secret to nobody and enjoin
ed strict secrecy ou his friends. All of which
shows that it lakes two to play ajokc, and

Archbishop Ihiylry'a Romance.
HOW IIU ntlSOCNCEI) A NEW r.NOLASD
HEi.i.uio Di;coin Arnicar.
The death of tho distinguished Catholic
Archbishop of Haitimore recalls to the
memory nf somo of thoso who remember
htm in his youth the romanco of his early
life. When he decided to leave tho Episco
pal ministry, for which ho had been trained
and study for the priesthood, ho made sacri
fices that few men are called on to endure.
Ho gave up at once not only ills social posi
tion, but the great fortune which his uncle,
Mr. James Rosevelt, after whom he was
named, intended to bequeath him, and worst
of all to somo hearts, lie renounced tho wo
man whom he loved.
One of tho most famous belles that New
England ever broduced wasMUs Julia Heers,
a daughter of Judge Heers, of ;Lltchfield,
Conn. During the first thirty years of this
century tho law school of Litchfield was con
sidered the most distinguished institution of
tho kind in tho country, U drew to this
bleak New England village tho young men
of the best families throughout tho coun
try, and one of its mojt honored teachers
was Judge Heers.
His daughter was a beautiful blonde of
the rarest type, with waving hair of pale
gold, largo blue eyes, and a figuro remarta'
hie for its tall and slender grace. Added to
these natural gifts, sho possessed also a fine
voice of remarkable power and compass,
which she constantly improved by training,
while her fine natural powers of mind wero
cultivated by every ndvantago of education,
so that at twenty-fire she was a woman of
rare and remarkable fascination.
At this time, during a summer pleasure
trip, she met the young Episcopal clergy
man and the two became engaged. The
Rev. Mr. Rayley was, at this period, a strik
ingly handsome man, pos-esslng qualities of
heart and mind sure to endear lilm to those
with whom lie was brought in contact. They
wero indeed a remarkable man and woman
who met in that long past summer, and she,
who had a hundred adorers, listened with
plea-tire to the addresses of a man who felt
that until now he had never met a fitting
mate.
Hut powerful as love might be in an or
ganization like this, the honesty of religious
conviction was still dearer to the heart of
the young clergyman, and after his transfer
ence to Hagerstown, Md., where he met the
present Cardinal McClosky, Mr. Hayley re
solved to become a Catholic priest. This
decision was a death blow to Miss Peers.
She herself persuaded by her love, embraced
tho faith of the Church of Rome, and for a
while look refuge in a convent.
This departure to ono of society's orna
ments tn the glnom of a cloister produced a
great sensation among the fashionable cir
cles nf that day, and when, after a brief
period, she, under circumstances of peculiar
romance fled from the convent nnd returned
to her friends, all sorts of speculations were
set allost. For a few vears she led a life of
retirement at her homo in Lilihtield, and
then fell a victim to consumption and per
haps to a broken heart.
"Cross aud t'rescem" in u Hack Yard.
Few persons suspect tho interest which
the younger portion of our population feel
in the progress of the European struggle,
and the familiarity with its details which
tliey evince in tneirdaily conversation and
intercourse. An uptown gentleman on
reaching home the other afternoon found
his wife nut and the hnuse all upside down.
The beds had been stripped of blankets and
counterpanes, tho tables denuded of their
covers, table cutlery, broomsticks, and var
ious kinds of household hardware were
strewn over the stairs and floors; in short,
it looked as if burglars had been through
the establishmcnt.'and left inahurry.
Just as he contemplated the devastation,
Bridget,.the cook, came rushing up stairs
with despair depicted ou every lineament of
her face. "Och, Misther B " she
gasped out, "I'm so glad yiz have come
home. Sure thim boys is a murtheriu' each
other in the back yarrud."
In an instant ho threw open the back
window, and the sight that met his eyes
showed the situation at a glance. All the
boys in the neighborhood, from sixteen down
were there engaged in settling the Eastern
question in a stylo that would have made
an Aioitk-a howl with envy, l-or a mo
ment tho Turks, led on by one boy in baggy
trowscrs (which proved to be his father's red
flannel drawers) aud armed witli a cheese
knife in ono hand and a dirty white towel
ou a stick (representing the banner of tho
Prophet) in the other, appeared to havo the
advantage, and had cornered the Ruian
army, composed of six boys with rakes and
pitchforks, between the hen house and the
back fence. Several oilier boys witli bloody
noses and black eyes sat on tho grass-plot,
personating the Christian victims of tlio at
rocities in Bulgaria. The czar had already
lost ono of his front teeth, and the Khedive
of Egypt was to be seen seeking safety by
Inglorious flight through a backlot, carrying
otl' the parlor tablo cloth, rolled up on his
head as a turbati. Just nt this moment En
gland interfered in tho shapo of ten boys,
who had been concealed in the back area,
but who now charged forth with rolling
sticks, flat irons and pokers, simultaneously
with a grand onset of Cossacks and Mame
lukes who had lain in reserve behind the
fence, the manceuvering was superb, the
contending hosts described flank movement's
around the clothes post which would havo
outwitted Sherman hlmelf, and there is no
telling but that the Crei-cent would have
waved victorious over all Europe had not
Mr. H suddenly appeared on the
sceite, scattered the armies like clialf, and
ended the contest by sending tho Sultan off
to bed, and interviewing the Duke of Cam

in PitUtou, and when ho concluded his dis
course, wiped his penqiiting brow and Kit

How tu Save 1'luiei' Seed.
One of nur best clover seed savers is just
at our elbow, and ho frays: "Tell them the
Becond crop is for the seed, and is really fit
for no other purpose, as it salivates the stock
fed on it; that the best time to cut for seed
is a very nice point to determine. It should
be cut when a majority of tho heads turn
brown, aud belore any begin to shed off tho
little seed pods, each of which contains a
seed. Cut tho second crop of clover just as
though it wero lor hay, rako it into wind
lows and let it lie, mid tnko one or two
showers; then put it into very small cocks
while damp, aboul'.ono'good pitchfork full
in a place,and when it is dry put into stacks
and cap with something that will turu water;
or what is still better, if you have a bhed or
baru, put it thero aud lit it remain until
you can get a liuller to take it out for you.
There aro hullers enough now in tlio State
to hull all tho seed needed for home use,
and tho owners ot the hullers aro willing
and anxious to go to any section where
work can be had. Let our finners save all
the clover seed they can, and thus help to
make thousands of dollars for the State,nov
sent out each year foi clover seed to bow,
Sunflowers aro nut iu full bloom, but they
are a trifle too large fur button hole briquets
for "happy" fellows.
Dare to do right, dare to be true kick at
your motlier-ln-lav.' if she kick at you.
