GRANDMAMMA PUPAE'S STORY.
"How do you like it ?"

"Oh, it is beautiful !" slit!

"Vire can't settle down with her. y.. 0

a man, marries a girl he don't contract to
support all the relatives :1:e happens to
have."
"I am all that grandinatulul t;iid
Millie, her face all aglow, lwr /.VC , . (12.r1-.ly
coruscating. "Grandmamm% I , 4ved
and cherished me more ye u Clan you
have; and I will not leave her to neglect
and suffering in her old' age."
"Very well, then," v.:61 Mr. Cl:tre r;ui
etly, "it is settled."
"Yes," said 'Millicent, in p. Ern) veio!
it is settled."
And Grandmother sitting alone
by her fire, was astonished :nme fire or ten
minutes later, by the sudden apparition or
lye Millie flinging herself' upon her
shoulder and sobbing most bitterly.
Grandmother Kirke li6tetwd to the per
little girl's story, with an oil I.:irking of
her venerable features.
"I don't ask the sacrifice of you,
said old Mrs. Kirke, stroking down the
lustrous masses of disheveled brown hair.
"I dare say I shall do well enough!'
Millie looked up, bving
at the same time.
"Do you suppose I mild ieive you,
grandmamma ?"
Mr. Charles Clare was a little surprised
at the turn events bad taken ; it had never
for an instant occurred to his mind that
any girl in her sober senses eauld prefer
the society of a crooked old wo.mn 0 that
of himself.
"She'll come to her senses, after a while,"
was the reflection with which he was con •
soled. "All girls indulge in heroics, now
and then, but it won't last long."
Mr. Clare was destined to disappoint
ment.
• Engaged to Frank Bra k es!ey !" he
cried, about six months subsequently.
"Why he has been courting her this long
time—sending her flowers, books, music
and all that sort of things. And the old
Witch or Endor is to live with them. I
suppose. I wouldn't have stood it !" went
on Clare, growing more heated and angry
as he talked. "but Frank Bloke ley never
had any mind or his owa. Well, I wish
them joy, that's all."
But the tone of voic.2 in which Mr.
Clare spoke, indicated anythin , z bat th , !
benevolent aspiration sbadowA frth by
his words.
Frank Blakesley and Millie Kirke bad
not been married more than a ye lr when
a sad messenger came to the door of their
humble, yet infinitely contented home—
the angei of death. _ _
'You've been very kirld to me, Frank
and Millie," said eTandmanima Kirke.
"but it's well nigh over rr)w. I anly
wanted to live long enough to see my lit
tle girl confided to the care of sotw good
man who would value her as she dcscrves.
and I have got my wish ?"
And Granantauma Kirke, wlof l
eyes were growing dim, fumbled under
her pillow far the old calico work.bag, with
the outside pocket, which, with its para
phernalia of antique housewives, bodkins,
scissors and thimbles, vas her constant
companion.
"The nee6le-book, she
faintly, "look in the needle-book !"
"But grandmannua, the leaves arc all
sewed together." .
"Cut them open, chili; but be careful.
I'm going• to give that needle bcok to you.
Millie. It was one I bought when you
was a . wee lady. All my treasures belong
to you, child."
Frank Blakesley stood looking over his
wife's shoulder, as she obeyed the old lady's
behest, deftly passing the scissors' points
between the flannel leaves, scolloped and
embroidered, with faded silks which bad
once boasted all the colors of the rainbow.
Suddenly he uttered an exclamation, and
in the same instant Millie dropped the
scissors.
"Grandmamma, there is money here,
sewed to the inside of each leaf—hundred
pound notes."
Grandmarnma Kirke smiled serenely.
"How many, Millicent ?"
"Ten, grandmamma."
"Yes, yes, I thought an," said the old
lady, nodding her head. "It's all tight.
Take them, Frank, and spend them as you
and Millie please, they are old grandmam
ma's gift !"
••A thousand pounds! Oh, grandulain

never told me this!"
-liceause I wanted ynn to depend on

Noi;le Red Man Surprised.
Tha I)eq Moines Reys . .th r says: Any one
that has assaciated much with the noble
red man has doubtless discovered that he
(Lei% want. much salt in his food, and no
river. An eating house man in the city,
yo,terilay. either was ignorant of this fact
or was willing to see what a mail Indian
would look like. There were several Mos
quali;es in the city awl one of them strayed
into the restaurant in question, and noticed
some customers eating hard boiled eggs,
on which they poured pepper sauce. Mr
J. ) eyed the process some time and then
concluded to invest. "flow mach?" he
queried, pointing to a plate of eggs. lie
in formod i,r the price, and counted out
twenty cents and commenced the attack.
Cutting an egg carefully in two lie scooped
out the yolk, and filled the aperture with
pepper sauce. Then he carefully removed
the shell, opened that elegant mouth. lean
ed back his head and hove in the egg like
a roustabout pitching a barrel of flour into
the hold of a steamboat. In less thaw two
seconds, those eyes "unused to tears" were
overflowing with emotion. The noble
brave placed both hands a couple of inches
below where his vest would have termina
ted, if he hail worn one, and with trembling
voice ejaculated that it was hot, qualifying
the expression with a profane adjective.—
Then he opened his mouth and wished for
the cooling streams of the North, and all
the while the pearly tears were dropping
from his eagle eyes like potatoes from a
leaky wagon box. Thinking to cure the
fi2ree burning by a counter irritant the
restaurant keeper procured a dish of ice
cream from a neighboring niacin awl gave
it to the red man. Ile made a frantic dive
with the spoon and scooped something like
half a pint of the chilling mixture into his
tneuth. The look of blank wonder that

cold and the Indian couldn't hold it.—
Without waitin: , to see where it would
hang up. ha opened his mouth and drop
-A it on the counter and fled—the hottest
and coldest brave that ever jumped across

The Back Sides of Houses.
Take the prettiest and best kept village
of .rew England, add we doubt if a tenth
part of even the most pretentious mansions
and the most ornate cottages will bear ex
amination in the rear. Instead of being
nicely finished in all their pretty domestic
details and conveniences. and kept snug and
trim, with trim grass plots, with all the
, il7).•nlinate avenues and garden approaches
wz2il graveled, clean swept and free of refuse
and everything wholesome and orderly,
there i< apt to be a look of general unildl
tiet,,, as van the residual rubbish of years
had been dumped therein. Not un frequent
ly a railroad runs its track in such a manner
as to expose the rear of plenty of boosts to
the eye of the traveler over it, whose sense
of neatness is offended by the square rods of
back-yards whiqh are lumbered up with
every conceivable variety of second hand.
damaged and invalid articles known to
domestic use, from a horse -cart, disabled
by broken thills an.l wrecked wheels, to
the ghost of the baby carriage which sur
vives two generations of children ; inter
spersed with smashed crockery, rusty sad
condemned tinware, old boots, sardine
boxes, disabled junk bottles, ho. , p skirts
which would have outlived all usefulness
if they had ever bad any, chips. ashes,
half-burned lumps of wasted coal, all imag-
inable litter, trash, debris and dirt. On
•
the other hand, nothing is prettier than a
cottage which is thoroughly well kept in
rear as well as at its more public portion.
It seems inevitably rendolent of a roar,
sweeter, happier domestic life than out
with heaps of festering rubbish crowding
hard upon it.
