JULIA'S SACRIFICE.
Thp nfternnonilght came in, Hubdrted and
imllow, through the stained glass windows
of the- stately church and fell upon1 th
brilliant, concourse gathered there, in honu
of the nuptials of Horace Napier and Julia
Mellvilie.
A beautiful bride, and a handsome groom
but not one gleam of happiness was there on
either face ; us cold and hard aa marble she
appeared, and he as proud and stately aa a
prince. !
Near them stood two men, who, ever a'nrj

triumph in his glance, the other1 with-111:-

'In seeing you my sonV wife, I behold
the consummation of my highest hopes.' j
She bowed haughtily, and turned from
him abruptly, and yielded to the embrace o'l
the other one, who whispered to her : j
"My daughter my daughter I that you

All tho resolution was gone. from'uCr' fade

Pride or ill sat upon his brow, but mom
apparent than that was the look ot pain that
spoke from his haiel eyes.
With a yearninggesture, he reached fort
his hand to take hers ; but she turned from
him, saying, in low, intenso tones :
'Let there be no mockery between us,
cannot aeume what I do not feel ; do no
make me dispise .you more than I ahead,

Into which Horace Napier, the son of the
vulgar ihoddylte, bad never been able to
effect an entrance;
Julia found it upon tho table In her mom,
and she sent It to her husband, laying, bit'
terly, to heiself :
'I liiive gained my object ) lie will demand

She was surprlrcd by the almost Immedi
ate return of the Invitation accompanied by
the following words :
'I htgtn be excused Irom entering any
sphere where I am admitted on auDerance.
Ydur father can act' aa your, escort, so I
tnow I am not depriving you of any pleas

To say thai Julia vrai astounded, is but
half eipreBdiiglic fcllngs.
'Could I'liave wronged htm In rofuslng 16

Then she added, disdainfully i
'This Is more of his hypocrisy.'
Still though she would not acknowledge
It, ihi9 rcmal of Ills plnced him much high

he would not wait upon her, yet she knew
that If he' bad accepted the Invitation she

He always declined, and she always felt
more and nioj-p piqued.
She found heeself thinking A( him often,
and wondering If she had uot wrdnged him;
and the more she thought of that the more
dreary, and desolate ber life seemed, to
be. : I
She was riding home ono day, after a
weary round of visiting, and her thoughts

She, saw that .they were near her home.
and then Bhenaw her husband, halless, palp

arose above all else, and she orled out': I

She moaned softly as she realiied what tp

When the dinner-hourcame, she felt little
like going to-table, but she went, with tlie
hope that he would say something tu keep

Hut the meal passed off in the usually til

pen relative to her separation from Horace,
and said to her:
'Sign this and you are free,' she absolute

herself for love.
'I will sign It to night,' she said, which
she would do If her one hope filled her.
Towards evening she left the house, and

A servant girl In a Chicago board I nt
house, who discharges the arduous duties of
a chambermaid's position, whon sho was
di,e.lng herself on Chrlstmai morning, en
ters luto a brief mental calculation of the
presents she would be likely to receive from
the varlons boarderi of the establishment.
'Mrs. A., In the big front room on tho sec
ond floor,' said this female Alatnsbar, 'will
probably give me that black silk dress she
uied to have for a second-best dress, now
that she has got a new ono ( and Mrs. 1J,
In the back room, asked me tf I had a new'
shawl the other day, and when .1 sold I had
n't said that perhaps Santa Claus would
bring me one, so I guess that's all right ;
and up on the third floor Mrs. C. wanted to
know what my name was, and so I supnns
she's going to give me a box of handker
chiefs with my monogram on them : Mrs.
D. told me not to wade money buying a par
asol, for one of tho boarders would be sure to
give me one at Christmas time ; and that
widow Mrs. R , with thesidnal-complalnted
child, ought to give mo something if its only
a pair U cuffs and a dollar, which Is about
the meanest that a person in a boarding-
bouse can afford to be.' Having settled these
matters to her satisfaction, went down to
breakfast and told the other girls what the
other boardera had promised to give ber:
then when that meal was concluded, took
her duster and went out to levy her contribu
tion. Arrived at Mrs. A.'s room shsj wish
ed that lady the compliments of the season
with much warmth and respect, and Mrs. A.
said, 'Dellla, here Is a little Christmas pres
ent for you,' and gave beraemallpateboar4

ted till it reached down to her brooch, and
,he closed the door with some warmth,
muttering to herself, 'The old painted hag 1
I wish I could make her est her collar and
CfT with those fal-e piano key teeth of hers
that she hasn't paid for yet. Taking a reef
in her face, however, she tripped smilingly
into Airs. B,'s room, and Mrs. B. said, 'Ah,
Dellla, merry Christmas to you ; here's a
collar and a pair of cuffs.' 'The mean,
skimping thing,' said Ihe chambermaid, as
soon a she was in the hall once more J 'next
time her husband tries to hug mo on the
stairs see if I cry out" or scratch his face,
that's all. See ff I don't get "wiuaro' with' her
for this.' Proceeding up to the next flight.
Dellla called at Mrs. O.'s room, and when
Mrs. 0. s.tld 'archly, 'Ah, Dellla', can tou
guess what I'lh going to give you 'for a
Chrislmas box Y tho poor girl's heart sank
clean down into her flippers, and she an
swered, 'A collarnd a pair of caff and
when'she hart received her gilt didn t say,
'Thank yon, but slammed the door so va-

D- gave (he girl a beaming smile and a pair
of culls and a collar, and the grateful racipi-
ent of her bounty said to Berself, 'if ever
that wall-eyed camel wants to get tho sheets
changed on Thursday again, perhaps I'll, do
it I Oh, yes ; of course 1' and with a bitter
laugh she strode into Mrs. E's room, and
when the widow said, 'Delila, you've been a
very good girl 6ince I came here to board,
and If you open the drawer of the bureau
over there you 11 hod a little pasteboard box.
I This was the last hair that broke the cham-
I bermaid's heart, and with a, yell, of disgust
she exclaimed, 'Keep your old measly col-
lars and cuffi, If I couldn't give a cham-
berlady anything better than a collar and
cuff, I'd go and board at the poor house.'
And ber overtaxed nature found relief In
tears. 'Delila, said Mrs. ., with icy sever-

The farm implements of all kinds, havinr
metal surfaces exposed, for knives and forks
and other household anncratus. Indeed for
all metals likely to be injured by oxidation
or 'rusting,' we know of uo simpler, moie
effective application than that furnished to
the American Agriculturist by the late Prof.
Olmstead, author of Olmstead's Natural
Philosophy, etc. He used it on air-pumps,
telescopos, and various otherappartus. Take
any quantity of good lard, and to every half
pound or so, add of common resin ('ro3in')
an amount about equal to half the size
of an egg or less a little more or less
is of no consequence. Melt them slowly to
gether, stirring as they cool. Apply this
with a cloth or otherwise, juat enough to
give a thin coHting to the metal surface to
be protected. It will be undesirable, as In
the cure of knives and forks, etc, The rosin
prevents rauci tity, and the mixture excludes
the ready access of air and moisture. A
fresh application may be needed when the
coating ii washed off by the friction of beat
ing storms or otherwise, This single recipe
will be worth many dollars to one In the
long run. There was talk of patenting It at
one time, but Prof, Olmstead gave it to us
to be publlshtd for tbe general public good,

Save the Torkej Feathers.
Seasonable advlco vlth regard to taking

a demand for making brushes and dusters,
called to the attention of those who have
heretofore allowed them to go to waste. In
saving the feathers of turkeys it Is recom-
I mended that they be taken In bags like
