Mary, tho servant, ramp in. 'I 'lease, -Mr. Ilosley, there's a woman ilow'n stairs, who says she must see you. She's been hero before since you were sick, and now she won't take 'no'" for nu answer.'

L'rchcntly the door opened again. 'Why, Xabby,' wild the oqiurc, is a you : J low Uo you do.' 'Yes, Squire, it's me,' said Xabby, dropping down with a heavy sigh into a chair, 'and I don't do very well.' Xabby was a'short squarely-built wom an of .K), with considerably " gray in the coarse black hair drawn stitlly and un compromisingly back under a bonnet about fifty years out -of date. She hail sharp, black eyes tind a resolute, iro ahcad manner. Evidently a hard work ing woman; yet iu looking at her you could not help tho conviction that some thing more than hard work had plough ed the deep wrinkles which ran across her forehead and threatened to lift her eyebrows up to her hah. Xabby had lived with the Squire's mother fifty years from tho timo when Sirs. Ilosley took her in, a 10 year old orphan, who was,as the good old lady expressed it, 'more plague than prolit,' until she grew into tlio steady reliable hand-maiden, who finally, with everyone's good wishes, married youiiff Josiah Uould mid set un in tho world for herself. Old 3 Irs. Ilosley had long since gono to her reward, but tho family still kept up a friendly in terest in Xabby and her fortunes, tho Squire in particular being for her 'guide, philosopher and friend' in all tho emer gencies or lite. 'Why, what's tho matter now.Xabbv?' said tho Squire, Kood-iiaturedlv. 'Are yon sick?' 'es, 1 am, said Xabby. cnmhatieallv. with a snap of her black eyes. Tin sick to death of .Toshia.h I can't stan' it any longer, and I've come to talk with you about getting a divorce. You see lio's been a growin' worso and worsu and worse, now for a good while. I've kep' it to myself pretty much, beeanso I was ashamed on't, and then I kep' hopin' he'd do better. I've talked and talked to him, and said and dono everything a woman could, but it seemed as if the more I talked the worso he irrew. Tho Squire looked at Xabbv's rather sharp, hard face, and perhaps was hard ly so surprised as Xabby expected, that Josiah hnd not been reformed by tho vigirous 'talking to' ho had undoubtedly received. 'Ho grow more shiftless and good-for-nothing,' continued Xabby, 'tilllinally ho didn't do much but set around tho kitch en lire, half boozy. If there's anybody 1 hate,' burst out Xabby, 'it's a man for ever sittin' round the home under foot. And thero I was a takin' in washiii' and a slaving early and lato to ho kinder do cqnt and forehanded, and him no bettor than a dead man on my hands, so far as helping nny was concerned. And so I told linn timo ami acain. Ho worked just enough to keep himself in drink. Ho know ho couldn't got any of my money for that. Mm f Mood it all till al)out a fortnight ago. I'd been workn' hard all day helpiu' .Miss Marber clean house, and it seemed as if eveiv bono in my body ached, was so tired." I came, nlong homo thinking how good my cup of tea would taste. Tho Ilrst thing'l rco when I opened tho kitchen door was old Hank Salter scttin' thero in my roekin chair. I In and Josiah wero both drunk as hogs,' nald Xabby, slandering nn Innocent animal iu her hasto for u similie. 'Git out of this hoiioe, Josiah Gould, and don't overlet nio i,eo yourfaco inside on t again, t.Sez he, meek as .Moses; 'Where shall I go Xabby?' 'Se. I; 1 don't oaro where you go to.so longs you don't eonio near inc.

' 'Try me and see, Xabby,' na'ul the Stpiiio sinijing, not impervious to Xab by's compliments. Xabby made her exit just as Mrs. Ilosley rushed in, full of wiMy indignation "that, the Squire had been allowed to see a 'client.' Xabby's home was over at the 'Cor ners,' threo miles from the village. She walked rapidly along in the fast thick ening darkness", with the steady, strong gait becoming the self-reliant" woman that she was. Yet even her unimairina- livt' nature was not proof against the de pressing influence of tho chilly Xovein her evening. The wind whistled through tlic bare tree branches, which creaked and groaned mournfully and waved wildly ui) and down in the dim light overhead. The wind seemed to cherish a special spite against poor Vabby. It blew her bonnet off and her hair into her eyes, h. niggled madly with her for her shawl, look her breath away and firmly resisted her every step. Finally it began to send spiteful cold rain drops in her face rain that seemed almost to freeze ns it fell. Josiah used to come after me with an umbrella when I was caught out in the rain,' thought Xabby. 'He was always real kind "and good to me after all. 1 thinno's he e-er gave me across word in his life, even when ho'd been drinking.' Hero tlio driving, sleety rain and piercing wind pounced down upon Xab by with renewed fierceness, hustling her madly in fiendish glee. 'An awful night to be homeless, Xab by,' something seemed to say.' 'I don't care,' said Xabby to herself, beginning to feel cross again, and gen erally ill-used as sho grew wetter and colder, 'It serves him right, lie's made his bed and can lie in it.' At the 'Corners,' light streaming out cheerfully into the night from other homes, made Xabby's house particularly gloomy and uninviting. Xabby fumbled under tho mat for tho door key, fumbled with stiffening lingers for tho keyhole, and finally succeeded iu unlocking tho door, and felt her way through tho little eutry. Thero is always something 'uncanny' about going at night into a dark aud shut-up house. liven people of the best regulated minds experience a vague, sus picion of something behind thcm,a sense of possible ghostly hands about to clutch them in the darkness. Xabby was a woman, like Mrs. Kdiuund Sparkler, with 'no nonsence about her;' but,iievertheless a cheerful tale sho had read only yester' day in the Chroniole, about a burgular and a lone woman, kcnt:oimug into her head, and sho careful .y avoided the blackness of tho corners and the nantrv door, as sho grouped around the kitchen for a candle. Of course tho tiro had gone out. 'Two heads aro better than one,if one is a suecps head, JNabby might have been heard muttering out in tho wood house, as she stooiied painfully down. picking ii) chips; by which oracular ut terance I suspect she was thinking what a good supply of kiiidliugs.Tosiah always kept on hand for her, and how much more comfortable it was in tho old times, coining home to a, house bright with light and xvarmth, and Josiah s wel- come For Josiah cherished the most pro found admiration for Xabby an admi ration unmiugled with awe lie thought her a most wonderful moinan. Sho was just as beautiful to him now as in the old courting days befoio tho brightness unci quickness of tho black oyes had de generated into sharpness; before tho smiling mouth had acquired its hard, Irmly set expression, there were any wrinkles in tho smooth forehead. People thought Xabby had dono well iu marry ing Josiah Could a pleasant, good natured young fellow that ovory one likud; a young mechanio not very rich yet, it is true; but with a good trade and such a wifo as Xabby there seemed nothing to prevent his figuring as, 'one of our ilrst citi.ons.' Anybody can ho somebody in this country it he is only determined. Hut, mat was exactly tlio dmerenco with Jo siah. He never xvas determined about anything. I To fell into tho habit of drinking because- he lacked sitllicient strength of will to avoid it.

Dead sorrows creep forth from their graves on such nights, and stalk up and down the echo ing chambers of the heart. Xabby could not help wandering where Josiah was to-night. It was so lonely sitting thero with no one to speak to, listening to the moaning of the wind tho creaking of the blinds. 'the loud tick ing ol the clock. tAtid Thanksgiving a coming,' thought Nabbv. "A pretty Thanksgiving I shall have ," The wind wailed and wiled, nnd Nnb. by thought and thought. The very fact of having "freed her mind" to thn MMtiirn had relieved her long pent up indignat ion, and now sho felt more sad than an gry. lTp before her seemed to rise n nie- tine of her life: the youthful dr. hopes, tho changes and disappoimncnts. and love turned into wrangling. She oven thought of Josiah with" pity. For tho Ilrst timcshe 'put herself iu his place' and realized how almost imiiossililn it was for one of his weak natiirn tn r.-.sit unaided the temptation which would cost a stronger will no effort. I m afraid I've been a littlo too slintu with Josiah,' thought she. I've snrti.r took it for granted I was a saint and ho a sinner, and scolded him right along down hill. A nico saint I am. As tirnu'il and high strung as Lucifer himself. Oh. dear,' sighed Xabby. 'A prettv mess I've made of living. If we could only imh.inl: nnd begin over again seems to me things would go better. .lust then thero was a faint noise, like the clicking of the door latch. Xabbv started and looked around. All was Mill again no one visable. Yet Xabbv could not rid herself of the impression tkat some one was near her the odd sense we have of another's individuality near us though not present. There's some one liangin' around here, 1 know,' said she to herself. Xabby was one who always met things half way. Accordingly she walked to the outside door, and opening it quickly, peered out into the darkness. There stood Josiah wet, sheepish, sorry. Once he had started to go in, but h'is courage failing, ho lingered iu dubious hesitation on tho door step. 'Why don't you come iu, Josiah' ask ed Xabby. 'I didn't know as you want me Xab by,' replied Josiah, with all the meekness becoming a leturning prodigal. 'Want you? 'Of course I do,' said Xabby, heartily. -Come right along in. I'm going to have griddle cakes for sup per, and you must tend them while I set tho table.' Griddle cakes were one of Josiah's weaknesses, and Xabby knew it. Josiah came in. If he ever gets iiito heaven, probably his sensations will not be one whit inoro delightful than they were now, as from the bleakness and gloom of the night, the forlornness of his wretched wanderings, ho came into the cosy brightness of tho kitchen and felt that he was at homo onco more. I Inn- good tho tea smelled. The lire roared and snapped, the tea kettle boiled and bubbled, aud bobbed its lid tin .-mil down, and from the griddle tho savory odor of the cakes ascended like a home ly incense Josiah's faco shimmr with mingled heat and happiness as he turned tiiegriudie cakes was something worth seeing. JNabby stepped briskly around irettiiiL' supper ready. It seemed so pleasant to set tho table for two again, tohavo some ono to jiniise and appreciate her cooking. The November wind might howl its worst now. Its hold on Xabby was gone In place ot all tho bitter sadness that hung heavily round her heart was a warm feeling of happiness, of comfort aud hope All tho explanation they had was this: Josiah drew from under his coat an ex ceedingly awkward and knobby haudle. 'lvo bought somethiu' for vou Nab by,' said he l Ho 'somethiu undone proved to bo a very haudsomo britaimia tea pot. Tho tea pot must have known that it was a peace offering, with such preternatural bright ness did it shine and glisten. Some thing in Nabby's shone and glistcned,too, although sho winked hard and scorned the weakness of n pocket handkerchief. 'Thank you, Josiah,' sho said, 'it's a regular beauty, and I shall set lots by it.' Which, so long as thoy understood each other, was, perhaps, as well as if Josiah had made a long-worded speech of repentance and reformation and Xab by another of forgiveness. I wish 1 could say that Xabby never scolded Josiah again. Mut eau't. However, 'she drew it mild,' and thero was a general understanding between them that this was only an exercise mado necessary by habit a barking by no means involving biting. And Josiah was so accustomed to it that ho would have missed it, and felt unnatural with out being wound up and set goin-' for the day by Xabby. " One day, later" iu tho winter, Xabby was washing for Mrs, I Iosley. 'So you've taken Josiah 'back again, after all,' said -Mrs. Ilosley.

Half a do.en of the most familiar texts in the Xcw Testament will disappear altogether. The question "What will it. protit'n man if lie shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul '' is metamorphosed into "What doth it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own life V "Hades" is substituted for "hell" in two well known passages.

It is not only n knowledgo of house, keeping which Is so essential to the wellbo rn? of a family, but it Is equally neccessary to be thoroughly acquainted with the art of home-making. It does not do for the wife and mother to limit her ed'orts to the wants only physical, mental and mdral, of the family, she must understand bow to keep hor house clean and orderly ; when nnd by what nicaiM her house became filled with impure air. rjtio must know what kinds ot food are easiest digested, which kinds nre nutritious.

Here is an illustration of the natural In stinct ot tho horse when guided by his sense ot smell. One of our men had bought or had been given the skin of a lion which had recently died, and as tho circus was just lea ving he threw it on the driver's scat of on a- one of the vans to have it tinned at the next town. The horse in that van was a very quiet one, that had been with the circus for many years. Nevertheless, the animal int. mediately showed signs of fear, which incii ased in spite of all endeavors to pacify hiir. Then breaking looso from all restraint, he kicked and rared and plunged about iu tho wildest manner until he had broken the liar, ness and escaped. Various conjectures might be made as to the manner in which llio. horse was aroused; but I think it probi ble that all those creatures which arc liable to become proy of carnivorous beasts have been endowed by nature with an instinct which enables them to aistinguish their t'tnsi from other aulmals.
