NEARER HOME.
When the the year lias lived its summer,
And the birds hove touched their strain,
Aud full ripe for the keen sieklo ,
Beuds tho hoary bearded grain,
All my feelings gather softly,
Like sweet comforters, aud say,
Bummer lime has gone, but autumn
Brings a calmer, fruittul day.
When I, wandering where the summer
Lingered fondly to tho last,
See the fairest flowers withered
By the first chili autumn blast,
KaughUKif sadness fills my spirit,
That my roses long haye blown,
For each leal that flutters earthward,
Tells me I am nearer home.
And when sunset fades out coldly-
And the barren fields look cray,
The last golden fruits nil gathered,
Tho last reaper gone away,
Weary I, and sadly loitering,
Evening shadows softly corns,
Touching my sore feet with healing.
As they whisper, "Nearer Home."
And niy heart puts off all sadness,
Though tho barren fields are gray,
Though the golden fruits nrn gathered,
And the birds have flown away;
For I'm going where the flowers
Bloom'in perpetual spring,
Whcro the birds uo moie are flcklo,
But remain. lo ever sing.
Where no frost halh ever blighted
The bright verdure of the clime,
And the fairest fruits are ripened,
Wherejthe sun knnws no decline;
And my wasted spirit sinteth
In a soft and hopeful tone,
Till the stars shiue down toMiglit me
On and upward to my home!
GETTING INTO' SOCIETY.
"I tell you, ,T,ick, the farm is not your
vocalion. I become more nuil more con
vinced of the fnct every day, nnd less
couleuted with the life we ore leading."
llreakfast was ovir, aurl we stood ou
the fnrmhouie portico 'mm in arm. On
tho sill sat baby, nerramiup; with delight
its Hhe fed a pair of pet pigeons from her
dimpled bnml-i.
Our breakfast bad beena delicious one
colfec clear na amber, bread like unow,
und aleak dnue to a turn.
All about na was a green tanule of
Kweetbrierand honeysuckle! the Run was
just li-sing above the ninnnlnia pcaks.and
the morning air was sweet anil fnsb.nud
filled with exqui-dtowooillund colnrs.nnd
mtlsic.il with the song cf bird. We
could catoli a glimpse of the barn anil
Ibo poultry-yards from where we stood,
aud bear the plaintive lowing of tho kino
aud the dreamlike tinkle of thsir bells.
I felt a vague sort of conviction that
Jack had lint liltlo sympathy with my
pint of iHsoonteut; yet I w.is determined
to carry my point if possible.
'Yon are dissatisfied with your lot 1
see that plainly, Nell," said Jack, a tritje
sadlv.
"Ob, nonsense!' I put in. "Nol with
my lot, nor with jou.only with tho farm,
Jack. I'm tired to death with this prosy,
humdrum life.iind I hate to see yon delv-
ug' aud toilin;; like a sltve Ironi one
year'8 end to another. Yoa were born
for something better, Jack something
grauder and nobler. Fancy a man of
your abilities sowing graiu nnd digniug
potatoes and raising stock to his life's
end!"
'Hut, my dear," suggested J.iok, "one
nvtst live and hive bread aud butter."
"To be sure. Jack; but why not earn
it iu a more genteel Ir.shiou?"
"Houest labor is always genteol,Nll."
"Oh, pshaw! you don't understand me,
Jack. I mean that von havo capabilities
for something better. You ouly eliiig to
the old farm to please your father, when
you could do a hundred fold belter else
where And, besides, where is our so
ciety in this place, Jack? What chauco
Is there for our children as they grow
up?"
Jack laughed as he glanced down at
baby, who was struggling furiously to
get a pigeon's head in her moth.
"Ah, Null.thatUlookingsofar ahead,"
lie said; "and, my dear, you seem to for
get that I have lived here all my llle!"
"No, no, I don't forgst, Aud
what have you doue, Jack?"
pray
"Led au upright life aud married your
self in the end."
"Dnt you didn't pick me up among the
clover-blossom, Jack, don't forget that.
You found me in town, and Jack, dear,
I'm anxious to get back to my native ele
ment. I'm tlrod of all this. You can get
on ever so nicely in town, Jack, aud there
we can get into society."
"I'm not overfond of society, Nell,"
"Oh, but you should be for my sake,
Jack. I'm fond of it. I hate to live like
a hermit. Why, Jack, if we desired to
give a Utile party to-moriow we could
not for lack of gnesla."
"Doir me, Noll, why I could muster
scores."
"Of a cerhiin sort, ye; but I don't
want them, Jaok. I'm u little peculiar
iu my notions. I v.m t uo society but
I the best; tho tha sjrt of society one
gets into iu town,"
"Pabhiouable seciety, Nell."
"Well then, why not? You have means
Jack, and I 11 iter myself that we are
fitted to move iu any circle. Why
shonld wo bury ourselvts iu this wilder
ness?" I "Our means are not inexhaustible,
V II ,
"I'm aware of that, Jack, but we've
enough for a start, and Vanborough
offers you a good phfe in Hit bank."
"At a limited balaiy, Nell."
"Oh, yes, but you can work your way
up, Jack; right up to the topmost round
of the ladder. l)o let's go, Jack! I've
lived here lo please yon ever fiuce onr
marriage; I think you can afford to please
me a little now."
Jack sighed as he looked ont upon
his ripening grain fields, but he drew
me close to his heart aud kissed me,
"That's true," he said; 'yon can't be
txpected to care for the farm as I do,
Live and Let Live."
PA., SATURDAY", DEHEMBBR 2, 1882.
Nell. I promised to make you happy
when you consented lo become my wife,
and I'll try and keep my word. Yon
.sLali have it all your own way, Nell."
The contluuous droppirg of water
wears away tho solid stone. I had con
quered my husband At last, nnd the do
sire of my heart was about to bo accom
plished. When Jack once made np his mind to
do n thing he did it with nil his might.
The matter was soon settled. Cherry
Hill, as we called the farm, was sold at
a great sacrifice, nnd one fine sunny
morning we turned our backs upon the
breezy mountain summits and golden
grain fields, and jnurucyed cityward.
"I'm afraid you've made a big mis
tako," said Jack's lather, as ho bade us
good-bye, "You remember the old saying
about rolling stones?"
"I don't believe in old sayings, sir," I
auswered, loftily; "and I think I cau ap
preciate my husband's nbilities better
thau any one tlso can,"
"All right; I hope you won't find your
self mistaken, my dear. Uood-bye to
both of yon. Whatever you do care well
(or the little one. I'm afraid sho won't
like the change. If you happen to lire
of town and fashion don't forget that a
welcome always awaits you at home."
Jack's heart was too full for uttetance.
"Thank you, sir," I said, "but wusunll
uot get tired."
O.ir now homo iu Penryth was a styl
ish residtnep In a fashionable block.
We established ourselves lu the priucipal
hotel, aud thcu set about tho task of
furnishing Ihebouse. '
"My dear child,"fiid Mrs. Vanbor
ough, tho banker's wife, dropping in for
au e-oily call, "don't dream of such a
thing an ingrniu carp' t. Get brnssels,
by all means, good English hrusscls
You'll find it much cheaper in the end,
qndliesides it is so much moro stylish.
Wo hearkened to our friend's advico
aud laiel our rooms with brnssels, nud
tho cost ran up into hundreds.
Then wojgot luruitiiro lo match, 3Irs.
Vutiboiouah and siyera! other friends
aiding us in our ctlfcticn. and all sorts
of pretty, costly bric-a-brac, and real
lace curtains, and a new cottage piano.
My old instrument was too plain aud
clumsy for the new establishment.
There is a 'curious sort of excitement
n spending money, which seems to
drive the most sober and economizing
people desperate, when they ouco get Bt
it. Jack had always beeu tho most care
ful of men, counting the eost of 'every
thing as he went aud sving every stray
penny.
Ouce in the vortex of city life his
prudence was speedily turned luto a
sort of reckloKSue-ss. Afler the firit few
days, and by .the, time our newhomn
was ready to receive us, he iictualiy
seemed to take delight iu seeing his
money go. '
"We've got sung quarters here, Nell,
by Geoige!" he said, looking through
the extravagantly furnished rooms with
admiring pride. "No ouo in town can
onlshiue us, uot even Vanborough him
self. It has lightened our purse a good
ileal, I II admit, but what does that sig
uifj? What good comes of having money
unless one enjoys it?"
"We mustlry aud save up alittle now,
Jack, sincoAve are fixed so nicely," 1 said,
feellug somowhat teriifiedat his growing
recklessness.
'Pshaw, child! Who ever heard of a
banker's clerk saving "anything. If we
make both ends meet it will be more than
I look fo
"My dear," said Mrs. Vanborough,
when we were pleasantly settled incur
baudsomo house andlmd, hired a couple
of servants "I suppose you will want to
give some sort of n party now. Suppose
you let it be nn informal reception, with
cards nnd coffee for the old people nnd
ices and fruits aud dancing for the young
one,? That would ilo nicely. You can
throw your parlors into one, ami tho new
carp its will potjget much injured. I'll
help yon to order your refreshments.aud
Cecelia will writeout your iuvitalions for
you. She's au excellent judge ns to whom
it is expedient to iuvite."
I mentioned the matter to Jack when
he came home, aud he entered iuto the
spirit of the affair with great excitement
"To be sure.my little wife.huve a party
by all means. When one's iu Ruuie.on
must do as Romans do, you know. Don'
spare any expense either, niy dear; we
limit make as good n show as'olher peo
pie. Aud I shall lake it upon myself to
order your costume, I waut you to look
as grand as a littlu empress."
nut, Jack," i suggtsted.tlinirtly, "we
arapeudiug a great deal o: money."
"Oh. well, never roiud. It will all go,
anyhow, pue nay or the other, and w
might as well enjoy it. You've alwayi
wanted lo get into good society, Nell. and
you're fairly iu uow, and it won't do lo
let people see that you are cramped fn
m .ney. Lst's make tho most of it while
we've got it."
My heart ached a little; nud in lb
iniiUt ofnlt the. flare and fltittir of pre
paration, I was oonscious of a vague letl
lug of regret whenever 1 recalled tho quiet
months of ray eurly wifehood sjcut at
Cherry Hill. Jack Lad Beemed such
different person iu those days so strong
aud steady and self-reliat 1; and uow ho
seemed to tako as umcli pleasure iu life;
frivolities as I did. Wllh the foolish in
consistency of my sex. I sat down and
cried over the consummation of the very
hopes which I had oherlshed so long.
Rut, despite my tesrs, our reception
went on and it turned out to he a great
success. Tho best people In town hon
ored ns with their presence, and overy
thing, thanks to MrsVnnborougb's fore
sight, was carried out in the most lavish
aud elegaut manner,
"Uy George." said Jack. "Ihis sort of
thing is jollier than the -Id farm. I see
now, Utile wife,' lhat you w right, al
ways right."
I would ten times rather he should have
upbraided we for what I hd done.

The winter that followed was exceed
ingly pay. We were invited evprywhere,
nnd our house was constantly filled with

tho opera, seemed lo engross every hour.
Jack n:ul I seldom bad a quiet moment
together, yet he seemed to enjoy it with
hi i whols heart.
When spring ovnio our list surplus
d dlor bod been expended, nnd we were
solely dependent on Jack's monthly
salary.
The warm weather enroe on, nnd baby
fell ill. I hoped tlav by day that Jack
would say something about going bulk
to his father's for the summer, but ho bid
not even hint at such a thing.
The days grow longer nnd warmer.
The sun shon down with a pitllef sard"1
dor, nnd tho p.ived streets seemed like
heated brass.
Our fashioutible frleuds fluttered rfl'
like summer swallows, and we were left
nlmist nlone.
"Couldn't you manage to make a Utile
trip lo tho seashore, my denr? '
Mrs. Vanborough l.ad suggested, nnd
Jack had caught nt the idea with eager
ness.
"We might, Nell. Ithiukwecan. I'll
try to borrow a fow hundred somewhere."
'Oh, Jack, co.inol" I sobbed out in
my remorse nun despair. "1 won t go
to Iho senshore.f You see bow ill baby
Oh, Jack, ask your father to let us
retnru home."
"Oh, you wouldn't be satisfied, Nell,
if we went baok. It is dreadfully stupid
down there these summer days, with the
haymaking, and the reaping, aud all that
sort of thing. We should never be able
to endure it now."
I snid no more. The long, bright,
burning days wore on, and our bills ran
up higher and higher, nnd our baby's
little breath seemed to grow weaker nud
weaker, aud poor Jack himself began lo
ok dreadfully ill and worn. And one
afternoon, he was sent home lu n carriage,
quite unconscious, strickm down by a
sudden fever:
I put my pride nside Iheii and wrote n
letter to Jack's father.
'Jack and baby are both ill, and we
are sick and tlred4of this life. Pray for
give us, cud let us come home."
Tho very next day the dear old gentle
man arrived, but tho bailiffs and the of
ficers of the law weie there beforo him
The rumor that we iuteuded to leavo
towu had got out, and our creditors
rushed in, anxious to secure the lion's
share of our effects. The brnssels car
pet, the handsome fnruitura and costly
bric-a-brac nil went under, tho hummer
nt a disastrously low figure.
"Never mind," said my father-in-law,
not a shadow of reproach on bis kind
old face; "let them squabble over it if
they will. Wo must get our sick ones
home."
As we got Jack iuto the carriage, and
with his poor hot bead upon tuy face.
aud baby in my arms, I turned n y back
upon tho sceno of my short-lived tri
umph. We tiro going back to Cherry Hill,"
said the old gentleman, ns iu the dusk
of tho golden day wo drove through the
dewy stilluess of the mouutaiu ravine.
'The old home has been waiting for you
all these months. I was jpretly sure
you'd want to come back."
I could notjntter,'one word in answer.
A great full moon wos;riing ahovo tho
mountain peaks nsjwe reached the house.
Not tho smallest thing was changed.
Tho great red roses bloomed on the ter
race, the bees droned In the hive and tho
cittla-bells tinkled iu the barnyard. Tho
doors ctood wide open. We carried
Jack inaud laid him down in the broad,
breezy room that had been our bridal
chamber.
Ho opened his eyes and drew a deep,
quivering breath, as the mountain
breeze touched his throbbing head.
"Nell, where are you?" he said. "Snro
ly this must be bout?"
"I am here, Jack," I answered,
through my tears, "aud this is homo,
dear; old Cherry nill."
"Thank Godl" he murmured, nnd fell
back upon the pillows, nud I saw great
tears trickling slowly from beneath his
closed eyelids.
Deyond the open window, in tho silver
glory of the rising moon, the old grand
father sat, with baby at his feet, half
hidden in the rank, cool graxs, nud even
nt that lste hour the plgoons oamo flut
tering round her as of old, nud sho
screamed with rapture as sh clutched
at them with her tJuiu'little bauds.
I arose softly and fell ou uy knees be
side Jack's low pillow.
' Oh, Jack," I sobbed, "I have beeu so
wicked. Forgive me. Jack, forgiieme.
I am so glad to be at home agaiu."
His worn face grew radiant, nud his
dear arms held me close.
And tlitu and there, clasped to mv
husband's heart, in the sife, sweet shel
ter or the homo be laved, I understood
all the past.
"Yoa dldu't mean it, Jack," I whis
pered. ' You only pretended to enjoy it
all to please me."
He smiled at me with his grao fond
smile.
"And, oh, Jack, our money is all gone
and "
Ho silenced nie with a kiss.
"No matter, little woman, the lesson
wo havo learned has been cheaply
bought. Wo shall uot care to leave tho
safe old mouutaiu nest iu search of fash
ion and bociety again."
I could uot nuswer. I hsnrJ my baby
oooliig to tho pigeons in tho grass, and
sat there, clasped ia Jack's forhiug
arms, the happiest wsmiu the world
held.
