Are's glow The children cluster to hear a talo Of that time, so long ngo. Whin grandmamma's hair wasRoldon brown, And tho warm blood camo nnd went O'er the face that could scarce have been sweeter then Than now in Its rich content. The faco Is wrinkled nnd careworn now, And the golden lialr Is gray; But the light that shone In tho young girl's eyes Never lias gone away. And her needles catch tho fire's light As In and out they ko, With the clicking music that grandma loves, Shaping the stocking toe. And tho walling children love It too, For they know tho slocking song Erlngs many a talo of grnndma's mind, Which they should hear ero long. Rut It brings no story of olden ttmo To grandma's heart to-night Only a refrain, quaint and short, Is sung by the needle bright. "Life Is a stocking," grandma says, "And yours is scarce begun s Hut I am knitting the toe of mine, And my work Is almost done. With many hearts wo beitln to knit, And the ribbing is almost play; Somo aro gray-colored and some aro white, And sumo aro ashen gray. Rut most aro made of many a hue, With many a stitch set wrong, And many a row to bo sadly ribbed Ere tho whole Is fair nnd strong. There aro long, plain spaces, without a brfait That In youth is hard to bear, And many n weary tear Is dropped As wo fashion tho heel with care. Hut the saddest, happiest time Is that We court, and yet would shun, When our Heavenly Father breaks tho thread And says that our work.ls done." Tho children come to say good-night, With tears In their bright young eyes, Whllo In grandma's lap, with broken thread, The finished stocking lies. The Cranlierry Swamp. "Of course," said young Doctor Dedling, "a man has his own fortune to look to." "Of couroe," said Judith Orcy; and as sho tioke tho words a cold chill seemed to creep like, slowly congealing ice, around her whole heart. "If vou had consulted mens to your af fairs," went on the young man, "instead of taking this very extraordinary step, entire ly without advico or counsel " "Yes, I know," hurriedly Interposed Jud ith i "hut it's over nnd past now, so perhaps wo had better not talk about It." The red winter sunset was biasing with sullen firo abovo tho cedar copso in the west; tho lealless woods held up their black arms, in a Bort of wrestling agony, toward tho sky, ns tho bleak wind tossed them to und fro; and n solitary raven uttered his ominous croak, in tho woods at tlio back of the house. Doctor Dedling shuddered ns he looked around him. nnd glanced out toward tho dreary swamp that extended toward tho east. Such a place," Eaid ho, "for a woman to elect to live in I" "It isn't very cheerful," said Judith; but 1'vo lived here nil my life, you know." "The mora reason for wanting to get out of it now," said the doctor, impatiently. Judith was silent. Sho looked . at the blazing logs on the old-fashioned hearth, and tried to keep back tho fast-riling tears. Doctor Dedling roso nnd took up his hat. "Then I am to consider that our engage ment is quite at an end?" said tho doctor. "Yes." said Judith, in n low tone. "I shall always wish you well," said the doctor affably. "I thank you," said Judith. "Good-by I" said Doctor Dedling. "Good-by 1" responded Judith. The next moment, sho was alono with tho biasing logs, and tho cricket chirping on the hearth, and the strange, weinl shadows that camo and went on the wainscoted walls. It was lust a month to night 6inco they buried old Miles Grey out of sight. Little Judith, who had worn herself out in taking cans of him, had dropped a few sincere tears on the cheap coffin that incased his remains but no one clso had teemed particularly to grieve. Mrs. Pytchloy, her elder sister, who was married lo a New York grocer, had boldly declared that it was high lime tho old man took himself oil' tlio stago of this world, and had no secret of her disappointment when it was discovered that a thousand dollars in gold-pieces represented all his hoarded Health, with tho exception of tho crutibcrry swamp, upon whoso dreary vergo stood the houto; and this dreary property, by tho terms of the will, was to be divided between his two nieces, Judith Grey and JIaria l'ylehley, as they themselves might ngreo. "I'll Uiko tho ready money," said Mrs. Pytchley, hastily. "What could I do with three or four miles ofcranberry swamp?" "Or whatcould Judith do with it, either?" said llobart Tytchley, who was whittling a pine stick beside tho firo. "I dare say sho could manago very nice ly," said Maria. "I've heard uncle Miles say that ho sold sixty dollars' worth of cran berries, one year outof tho swamp." "Hnmphl" grunted Mr. Pytchley. "And that's legal interest on a thousand dollars, you know," added his wife. "What do you say, Judith." "It makes no difference lo me," said Jud ith, quietly. "It does to me, then 1" said Mrs. Pytch ley. "Because, as you know very well, Ho bart's business Uin tlio city, and we could do nothing nt all with a lot of swampy land, down here In the backwoods." So Mrs. Pytchley had taken the lion's share of the old man's bequest, and gone back to her city home ovcrllobart's grocery tore; and young Dedling, who had confi dently calculated on at least five hundred dollars, to buy surgical instruments and fit up an office iu the village adjoining five hundred dollars as the dowry of his bride elect broke his engagement iua fit of pique that Judith should bavesodcliberalaly llung her fortune away. "A set juS harpis I" cried he, with disgust, "Stop, Doctor Dedling I" said Judith, col oring up. "You forget that you are speak ing of my ai.lar and her husband." "But they bad no business to impose on vou thus I" exclaimed the doctor. "I agreed to the plan, without remon strance." Doctor Dedling shrugged his shoulders. "In that," said ho, sharply, "you showed your lock of common senso I If you had no good regard for yourself, you might have had some for met" "Was il for money you wanted mo?" de manded Judith, stung to the quick. Doctor Dedling colored and hesitated. "A man must take monetary matters into consideration," said he. And so it came about that the engagement was canceled, and Judith Orcy was sitting there, alone in the wintry twilight, with clasped hands and head drooped low upon her brcasl. Doctor Dedling plodded homo lo tho vil lage, and as he passed the brilliant windows of the little hostelry, he paused, remember ing the bitter cold of the winter air, tho frosty Influence of tho breeze. " I may as well go in and warm myself," ho thought. Mlno host met him with n cheery nir. "Walk in, doctir walk In 1" said he. "Not that room," ns Dedling mechanically laid his hand upon tho door-knob of the apartment ho usually entered. "Tho Rail way Commilteo is a-settiu' there. This way, plcaso I" " Tho Railway Committee I" echoed Ded ling. "What Railway Committee? You don't mean that they are actually takingany steps about that old idea of a railway be tween here and Glassvillc ?" " Yea, I do," said the landlord. "It's a committee of rich capitalists, as aro building factories close to the Falls ; and they mean to put up tenement-houses all along, and lay down a lino of rails, and don't say ns I mentioned it, doctor, becauso I only caught a snatch hero and there, when I was carry ing in the plates nnd setting on the fruits, nnd nuts, and wine but it's to go right through old Miles Grey's cranberry-swamp, tho new railway ist And tho chairman of the committee is going to offer Miss Judith fivo thousand dollars in good, clean, hard money for her share in itl" Doctor Dedling Btared. " Fivo thousand dollars I" repeated he, slowly. Could it really bo a fact? If so and there seemed very littlo reason for doubting it what a fatal mistake he had made in re jecting a bride who could bring him tho rich portion of a cranberry swamp ns tier wed-ding-dower. If ho had known this half an hour one little half an hour ago I " Don't fret about him, Judith, dear; ho isn't worth it 1" urged honest Maimoduko ltcdficld, who had stopped in on his way to tho post-office to bring a messago from his mother, "lie was always a pretentious sort of fellow, all for outward show, with a heart like stone, nnd a nature asshallow as Deacon Doler's brook 1" Judith looked up at tho clumsy, good hearted, hard-handed farmer, and wonder ed that she had never before noticed what a true face, and whatclcar, frank eyes he had. " Forget him, Judith," pleaded Hedficld ; and sho began seriously to think that sho would at least mako the trial. "Come to our house, and stay with mother. It's too bleak and lonesome lor you here for tho prcscnt,nt least. Spring will bo time enough for you to como back to tho cranberry swamp. Judith Grey looked around nt the solitary room, and thought of Mrs. Itcdlicld's big, cosy kitchen, with its bright-colored rag carpet, its windows lined with blossoming geraniums, and its shrill-voiced canary bird hanging over the work-table. " Do you think," sho hesitated, "that your mother would bo willing to bo troubled with such a guest is me?" Duke Retinoid's face grew ro.'.innt. " Only try her," said he. "Dear Judith? you'd bo ns welcome ns flowers in May." And the next day Mrs. lied field came over in the old farm carryall to claim her guest, and the Swamp Houso was left to its own dreary desolation and tho driving snows of January. Scarcely three weeks had elapsed, when young Doctor Dedling camo to tho Redfleld farm in his new gig, with theold roan horse that really made quite a good apicaranco when you didn't hurry him, and tho road was tolerably good, and he was frco from a visitation commonly known as "heaves" " There ain't nobody sick hero," said Ju lius, tho hired man, who was splitting wood at the side uf tlio house, as he eyed the doc tor rather suspiciously. "No, I know It," said Doctor Dedling; "but I have called to see Miss Grey." " Miss Grey ain't noways ailin', as I know of," irsisted Julius, feeling the edge of his axe, and still staring hard at the medical representative of Glassvillc " I have called," said Doctor Dedling.with dignity, as a friend." "Oh," said Julius. " Will you be so kind as to let mo in?" persisted the doctor. "Tain't no use," said Julius, rolling a prodigious pine-knot down from the pile, and preparing himself for a stujiendous ef fort; "there ain't nobody to home." " Nobody at home ?" echoed tho doctor. " Thcy'vo all goue to church," explained Julius. " To church, man ? Why, it's Tuesday." "Who said it wa'n't?" retorted Julius. "They ain't gono to hear sarvlce they is gono to bo married." " Who demauded Doctor Dedling. " Our Marmaduke and Miss Judith." And down came the axe upon tho end of the pine-knot, with a crash that made the man of medicine start back. The new railroad was duly constructed, directly across the boggy depth of old Miles Grey's cranberry Bwamp, and the $5,001) was placed to Mrs. Marmaduke Redfield'a account in the nearest national bank; and Mrs. Pytchley thinks she made a mistake in taking the gold eagles instead of the cran lierry swamp but young Doctor Dedling thinks his mUtnke was greater still. On one occasion when the late Lord Bishop of Litchfield bad spoken of the im portance of diligent paiustaklug preparation for tho pulpit, a verbose young clergyman said: "Why, my lord, I often go to the vestry without knowing what text 1 shall preech ujwnj yet I go up aud preach an extempore sermon, and think nothing of it." The bish op replied, "Ah, well, that agrees with what I hear from your people, for they hear the sermon, and they also think nothing of it." Iim BEST WAY. At tho last regular meeting of the Lime kiln Club, there was a gravo-llko silenco nmong the members as soon as tho gavel rapped to order.

SAVIID II Y UIS WirUVS I.I3TTEII. The following story wus told recently I u a Denver court: On a hot day iu July, 1800, a herdsman was moving his calllo lo a new ranch fur ther north, near Helena, Texas, and pass ing down the banks of a stream his herd bo snmo mixed with oilier cattle that wero grazing in tho valley, and somo of llioui failed to be separated. Tho next day about noon a bond of nbout a dozed Texan rangers oveitook tho herds man and demanded their cattle which they said were stolen. It was before the day of law and court houses In Texas.nnd ono hod better kill five men than Bteal a mule worth $5, and the herdsman knew it. He tried to explain, but tbey told him to cut it short. He offer ed lo turn overall Iho catlle not his own, but they laughed nt the proposition, and hinted that they usually confiscated tho whole herd, and left the thief hanging on : tree, as n solemn warning to other cattle thieves. Tho poor fellow was completely overcome. They consulted upart for u lew moments, and then told him if ho had any explana tions to mako or business to do, they would allow him ten minutes to do so and defend himself. He returned lo tho rouil. r-v 3ml com menced : "How in-- f vou have wives?" Two qr ilueo nodded. "How many nf ynu have children?" They nodded again. "Then 1 know who I am talking to, nnd you'll hear me," und ho continued: "I never elolo any cattle ; 1 have lived inthea parts over threo years; I c.iino hero from Nuw Hampshiie; I f.iihd in tho fall if 1817, dutiug Ihc panic; I have been suvin;; I havo no homo here; my family remain east, fur I go fiom placo lo place; tliera clothes I wear aro rough, and I am a hard looking customer; but this is a hard country, days seem like months, and mouths like years to mc.

You can go fiee ; but you're a lucky man, mind ye." "We'll do more than that," said a rough ranger in Texan garb nnd carrying tho cus tomary bruco of pistols in his belt, "let us buy his catlle here and let him go."
