sweet was Uie sonrf of the robin, .
Blilho was tlio hum of the bee,
In tho day when tho drift of tho blossom
Was light as tho foam ot the sea.
Then deeply was cloven the furrow,
A d gaj ly they so ittcred tho seed.
Who trusted that raln-fcll and sunshine
Would surely bo given at need.
Tho robin hath nownto the tropic,
1 lie honey-bee fllttoth no more,
The reaper hath garnered the harvest.
And tho fruit and tho nuts are In store.
Tho flamo hath died out on tho maples,
We tread on the loose-ljlrg leaves,
And tho corn that was sturdy and stalwart
Is gathered and bound Into sheaves.
Andswecter thsn music of sprlng-tlrao,
And f ulCcr of Jubilant mirth,
Arc tho strong-tided chorals o'erflowtng
From hearts where thai ksglvlDg has blrtn,
The songs of the homo and tho altar,
The gladnesi of children at play,
And tho dear love of households united
Aro blending Inpratics to-day.
For pasture-lands folded w Ith beauty,
For plenty that burdened the valo.
For tho wealth of tho teeming abundance,
And tho promlso too royal to fall,
We lift to the Maker our anthems,
But nono tho less cheerfully como
To tliauk Htm for bloom and fruition,
And tho happiness crowning the home.
Oh, tho peace on the brow of tho father,
Tho lUht In tho mother's clear eyes,
The lilt In tho voices ot maidens
Who walk under drcam-curlalned skies,
" The dinco In tho feet of the weo ones,
And the sparklo and shlno In tho air I
Tho jear has no time llko Thanksglvlng-
A truce to our fretting and care. ,
Sweet was I ho song of t ho ro' I n,
Blltho was the hum of tho bee,
In the day when tho drift ot tho blossom
Was light as the foam of tho fca j
Bat sweeter the Bllence of autiuan.
That makcth ft space for the strain
Of tho Joyance ot home, when the harvest
Is gathered from litll-sldo and plain.

'Fiue feather make fine birds,' muttered
Aunt Cj nlhy.cotuing down the hallstairs nnd
parsing the open door wherein stood Ilosa-
lind Kayre, in a Nile green silk, with colfee
olored laces at her throat. Aunt Cynthy
was unjust. Rosalind would be fine in any
garb a fresh yuung beauty, who was aware
of the fact, to be sure, and did the best she
knew how for herself,
There were two front doors to hospitable
Fair Hill. At the upper end of the piazza
issued directly Mildred Mason. 'Thar's my
beauty,' soliloquized Aunt Cynthy, paaing
directly out ot sight. Mildred's white, dress
was brightened by scarlet ribbons : she had lnS-
a scarlet shawl disposed about her raven
locks. I am not sure whether she was nret-
ty or not; but sh was attractive a heaven
lier gift even than that of beauty.
It was November, but it was soft, bright'
weather still in tho border States, and exhil-
lerating as well. Tho wino of tho year was
spilled abroad. The skies were golden and
crimson that sunset. Aunt Cynthy reap
peared round a corner of tho house, tvith a
pail in her hand, bound for the dairy, the
roof of which was visible in the next field.
Her wooly locks irere woundup in akerchlef
of the autumn colors yellow and red, Mil
dred, taking it into her head to go a milking
also, and joining tho old woman presently,
suggested this fact to her.
Yes, honey ; but I wars dese colors fur a
betto reason den dat. Dem as likes yaller
sees ghosts ; an' dem as do ghosts likeji red.'
'Red is my color. Rut I don't know about
the ghosts.'
'Vou's not dead yet, is you ? You'll fin'
out befo' yon is- Now dat Miss Uosalin't
(ireen ? Reckon our ole lady '11 gib her a
wide berth. Ghosts can't abide green.'
'What old lady ?'
'I see her more'n nu(T times. Old lady
wid spinnin' wheel, all in white, will a cap
wid a frill roun' it. Fair Hill can't get ehet
f her nohow.'
'Have you seen her ofen V
'Right smart, often' lately. Reckon smb.-
gwine ter happen. D.U'b it. Ole lady
tryin, ter gib warnin'. You shed. see her by
gbts, Miss Millyj you Is a Mason jer-
lf.'
In the dairy were two ancient serving m(,
black as the aco of spades, churning. They
luted Mildred with wido ivory smiles, but
poke not. They brought before Mildred
sions of carven ebony images at some per-.
sistent mechanical task. Aunt Cynthy skim
med the cream for tea, and Mildred strolled
farther up the field; into a cabin, where sat
feeble old woman, mother of Cale, tho
head dairyman, who Inarticulated a greet
ing. Gale's wife appeared from tho back
ground, saying, 'Mother hud a stroke las'
fall. An' how is you, Miss? I is tolla-
colored boy wlthhls eyes shut waved a long
brush of peacock feathers, and represented ft
nearly obsolete type, replaced by the patent
(ly machines of modern times. This office,
however, was almost sinecure at tlmttlmo
of the year. Alter tea tho patty returned
to tho parlor, whero a wood fire- blazed,
Uosaland dropped Into a picturesque, old-
fashioned chair, which dated as far back as
tho check, Her lovely arms, with their co
quettish elbow sleeves, fell into her lap. Her
Utile crowd feet revealed dainty strapped
slippers. There was nn rxqtilalto rose leaf
flush on her face. Gilbert Rosse, who had
ridden over from neighboring Rosscmerr,
drew up a chair beside her, fascinated, ap
parcntly, manlike, by tollctto nnd grace.
Ruth took a low seat In a comer of the fire-
plnco out of the light of tho blaze. Mil
dred flitted off to the kitchen, where blazed
another fire of glint size, over which hung
a coal-black kettle. Aunt Linda was the
preililln? genius of this precinct Its
yellow walls were darkened by smoke. Mys
tetious shadows haunted it. Two tallow
dips served to illuminate tho centre merely
of a large table, whero Aunt Linda nnd
Cynthy wcro supping, the small colored boy
at a respectful distance.
'Iseendoolo lady jes now, Mis? Mllly,'
says Aunt Cynthy.
'You don't say so I' responded Mildred,
with spontaneous interest
'Sutbin on her mind, she. She keep a
lookln' at me an' a lookin'. Cap wid frill,
spinnin' wheel, an' all. Can't make her nut
nohow Deso Is tight times fur de Masons
Reckon dat!s do reason she show herself so
often. Do old place be sole, sho as fate, on
less a miracle take place.'
Mildred assented. It was as Cynthy said
This might bo her last visit to Fair Hill
There was a mortgagoon the farm for $1000,
which would be foreclosed In December un
less the money wcro forth coming, which
seemed unlikely. Mrs. Mason had tried to
raise tho sum far and near, but without suc
cess, it seemeil incredible, nutthe beautuul
homestead represented by this inennsidera
ble amount would doubtless be sacrificed in
default ot if.
'Mas'r Ilertio Rooso fooliu' rount arter

sido down like. So reckon Mas r liertie he

All of which Mildred knew'already. Gaz
ing into the bright blaze, she wondored how
it would all end. Rosalind was bewitch-
There is a Fair Hill legend which ac
counts for tho money being secreted there,
and nn(hliig gives Cynthy greater pleasure
than to relate tho legend and Its sequel,
The next morning before breakfast a note
was banded Ruth. 'Darling," it began
for you are my darling, whether you will
be engaged or not I cannot command the
time to see you this morning, so I send you
this lino. Why did you avoid me last nlehl?
Why did you gooff without saying good-by?
Oh, ltuth, don't glvo mo up 1 There Is no
woman in the world for mebutyou.'
Poor little Ruth 1 She dropped a tear
upon these words ; sho kissed the note j she
put it In her bosotn. What was poverty ?
What was waiting ? Youth was brave and
Love was patient
After breakfast she learned tho good
news.
They kept a jubilant Thanksgiving fol
lowing closely thereupon that ycai at Fair
Hill, these Marylanders having adopted
that beautiful feast from the North. Aunt
Cynthy wore a turban yellower atul redder
than ever. Maldred was gorgeous in
superbly embroidered crimson scarf, drapod
tunicrfashlon, sent her by a friend over seas,
to match which she pinned a rose in Ruth's
dark hair. This choice of, hue served the
double purpose of propiatlng Aunt Cynthy
and the ghosts. Aunt Cnythy was an ex
ception to the general rule with colored poo
pie who aflect melancholy purples now be

considered their appropriate color by mas
tcrs of an artistic sense.
Finally Rosalind was a radiant, albeit In
habitual green, and arbelt Bertie had eyes
for no one but Ruth. But what of that 1

Mildred was well, and was fjad to be as
silted Mrs. Cals was the same. She stood
pensively regarding the two women with her'
strangely, beautiful dark eyes,
'Mother are a right ole ooman,uiis3,' Calo's
wife surmised, with subdued pride, but yet
with an air of uncertalnity. Chronology is
rarely included in the philosophy of Ethio

Mildred reiterated her conviction. Aunt
Cynthy reissued from the dairy, cream pail
in hand, llaviiii; established a character fo

Cile's wife looked after her admiringly. It
htcmed mch a fine thing not only to know
one's o'w'ii age, but other people's- as well.
Rosalind was still on the pizza when Mil
dred rencbml iho house, in time to answer
Hero I1 when Ruth Mason, her hostess,
asked, 'Where is .Mildred V in her sweet.sad
voice. Ruth was the mean between the two
extremes 0f Rosalind and Mildred, In the
sense that both were her cousins, although
nnt each other's. She had Mildred's dark,
dark eyes grave In her case. But then
matters and things were grave at Fair Hill
just then.
The tea bell jang, and they followed its
sound, Airs, Mason, with snowy hair and
cap and kerchief, presided at the utn, A
clock that was 200 years old ticked in one
corner. The bill of fare, of course, included

why these should have ' eeu better than had
they been eaten out of Maryland, A small
Still talking, Aunt Cynthy went back in
to the dining room. 'Dar she are now 1' she
said. 'She hab lef do epinin' wheel. She
are a. walkin' up an' down, dar by the
clock.'
The clock stood in a recess beyond a jamb
which ran along all the rest of that side of
the room. It contained a closet, and in the
parlor, on the other sido of the wall, a deep
lire place. But theso two recesses having
been taken Into consideration, there still re
mained a space unaccounted for in the mid
die of the jamb. Mildred, staring over at
the wall, puzzled out this fact
'Now she are hcre.'puraued Aunt Cynthy,
'a knnckin'.' Aunt Cynthy put her hand on
the wall precisely where Mildred had eatab
lished a hollow space.
Mildred came and stood beside the old wo
man. 'Odd 1' the girl said. 'There is a board
here. It is not bricked over like the rest of
the wall.' Mildred wrapped on it with her
knuckles, and it gave a hollow sound, very
different from that which followed the knock
ing above nnd below it
'Curus I' repeated Aunt Cynthy. 'I'd
like ter tako out dat ar board fust-rate.
Dat's whar she rapped an' pintcd.'
Here Aunt Mason appeared. She had
heard for so many years of Cynthy's 'Ole
Lady' that sho listened to this last demon
stration of her's with composure, and passed
on to 'gireout' breakfast a matter of more
mmcdiato interest. Mildred drifted back
into tho parlor, seated herself in tho corner
of tho fireplace, listened to the wind howl
ug down the wido chimney, thought of ships
at the sea blown about in such a galo as was
brewing. Ships? one ship, more properly.
It-was a consolation to Mildred to observe
that whenever she looked towards Bertie
Rosse, he was looking towards Ruth. In
consequence Rosalind grew more pointedly
charming and sparkling. But poor little
Ruth never once raided her eyes Irom the
piece of kuitting she had taken up. Her
mother called her presently, and she went
out of the room and did not return. After
a while Mildred followed her. It was dull
work chapperoning Rosalind's llirtatiou.

It is a curious commercial fact that
whereas a year ago no American honey lu
tho comb wai exported to England, not
less than half n million pounds will bo sent
in the next twelve months. The trouble
was honey could not be sent strained and
canned for tho reason that it would candy,
American honey is by far the bestjhoney in
the world as regards'ilavor and purity of
appearance. Knowing that, a New York
firm hired Mr. Hodge, a well-known honey
expert, to try to introduce it into England.
Over the water went Hodge, with n big lot
of the sweet jslufl" in the comb. It required
skill to pack it nnd, load and unload, but it
arrived all right, not a cell being burst.
Tho English dealers in honey gave him the
cold shoulder. They bad the editors on the
British See Journal give him a raking down
and they, themselves, added all mean things
they could, say. Mr. Hodge made little
headway. He was about to give it up ior
a bad job when a brilliant thought struck
him. He must get the honey on the Qneen's
tablo. How was ho to do this? While
picking his teeth after dinner and ruminat'
ing on the subject, his eye alighted on the
pickle jar. It bore the name of the man
who had been high steward In Windsor cas
tle. 'He's ray man,' said Mr. Hodge to
himself, and away he went for tho pickle
man. Did lie rush up to him aud blurt out:
'I want to put my American honey on Vic
toria's tablo?' Notabitof it. He asked
a thousand questions about how they were
made ate a score or more of them, and end
ed by proponing that the pickle-man furnish
pickles to the American house he repre
sented. The pickle-man was delighted.
The New Yi rk man gave him an order.
They had a bottle of winn togother.and then
the American said ! 'Now, I have helped
you, you must help me. Can't you put
American honey on the .queen's table?'
'Of course I can,' was the reply, and in no
time the arrangements were made, A case
of honey was given to the pickle man, and
Tbo Builder for November says the great

Increased. Nails are 7Q per cent higher to
day than they were at tbo beginning of the
present year. Indow-welghta have ad
vanced fully 75 per cent.; locks and knobs
have risen nearly 45 per cent, upon the
average; locks and kindred goods, 25 per
cent ; common door butts and hinges fully
100 per cent.; and such other odds and ends
of hardware as are used In building an aver
age na less than -10 per cent
Common window glass, either I rcnch,
German or American, cannot be bought to
day within 20 per cent, as cheap as it could
on the 1st of January. A box of glass suit
able for sashes 15 by 30 Inches in dimensions
costs 13.90 to day, against 12.08 at the be
ginning of the year; a box for 10 by 15
sashes costs $2 70 to-day, against $2.10 on
the 1st of January, and-a box of glass 13
by 26 sashes costs $3 now, against $2.50
when the year opened. Sashes, doors, and
blinds have recently undergone a very ma
terial advance. Blinds have been unprofita
bly low, and tho present prices constitute a
rise of from 34 to 45 per cent. A blind
upon which the combination price was lately
50 cents now costs C5; those which formerly
sold fur 75 cents now sell at $1 10. Sashes
with glass ready set are over 30 per cent,
dearer to day than at the beginning of tho
year,
Doors are constantly advancing and it Is
difficult to keep the run of the new prices
which nre made by the m&uulacturers-
In brick there has been, since the 1st of
January, an advance on some grades of
common ol over 30 per cent., but In lime,
sand and cement there has been but little
variation, nnd the same may be said of points
and oils. In all these articles, however,
there Is a hardening tendency, and it may
be generally said of them that, though
there has been very little nominal advance,
yet figures which could often be obtained
upon them six or eight months ago are not
possible to day. In "dull times" It frequent
ly happens that dealers are willing to give
quiet concessions to customers for the pur
pose of securlnc trade when there has ap
parency been no actual decline in tho
prices; and, upon the other band, when
business begins to Improve, the firmer feel
ing which prevails renders such concessions
difficult to obtain, even though prices aro
not quoted higher. The estimates which
builders were able to furnish last winter
and spring, therefore, were lower than to
day, not only becauso of the advance whioh
has actually occurred In'some materials but
because of the concessions which were then
possible in others.
Ordinary building lumber and shingles,
