Up in a city garret, on a hot Jane day, a weary woman leaned back in htr chair. and pressed her fingers against the' even that refused longer to see the stitches in the shop-work over which she had toiled from day -brink till now, four o'clock iu the nlternoon. From the street far bflovr her, n voice had only that moment soared upward, culling 'Strawherr-ees! Btrawberr-ecs! Ripe, red strawberr-ces! ' And, as if by magic, her thoughts turning backward had carried ber to Dtcpdene, the home of her youth, and a certain lovely June day in ber sixteenth year, when she bud stood in the .truw berry pasture on the Blessing farm, with the red berries perluniingall the air.nnd said the words which severed her fate from that of Maurice Blessing, nnd made her life what it nas ou this day, almost hopeless, and a ceaseless struggle for bread, won at the needlo's point. How it all rose up before herl The green pasture Blopiug upward to toe darker green woods, whose tops seemed lo touch tLe deep blue sky, sloping downward to tbe gray stone wall, with the cold ppting leaping ont through wooden trough, amoug its lower stones, And below tbe wall, "tbe thirty-acre mowiuj.'Vpread out like an immense emerald velvet carpet, with the two-story crenmcolored house lifting its pizzaed front at tbe extreme end, just where the shaded lane began, that led from tbe Blessing farm out into the village road She the poor orphan girl, had been offered this comfortable home; and she bad refused it lor what? For a dream of fame which had left her toiling in this b;ot garret, while la tbe black trunk yon dertbobook which was to bave made ber fortune, refused by one publisher after another, was lying, till she could fiad courage to thrust it into tbe tire. "Scarcely five years," shesigbed, rock 'ng herBtlf to and fro. "And Maurice has sold tbe old farm and goue to Color ado; and I am here, lonely, disappointed, old before my time. Oft, If I could ouly livo that day over again, and be as wise as I am nowl For now I knew that I love him now, when it is forever too late!" Sickening, with a sort of calenture among those hot city street, for one glimpse of her early home, Hester May rose and went to tbe desk where her worldly wealth was stored. Dy the closest economy, she had man aged to lay aside a few dollars, with tbe gloomy purpose of paying the expen sts of ber own ticknesa aud death, when the time should come for her to die au ( rjg strangers. Froui this sacred board she counted out a sufficient sum to take her to Diep dene. ' 'I n ill stay only one day," she thought, "Aud I wil work all tbe harder after 1 return to make up this sum Hgaiu, But -see Deepdeue, now tbat it is fairly in my miua, I must! And I will take one more look at tbe dear old farm before it is in tbe bands of straugers, and so altered that 1 shall not know it." Tbe next day saw ber on her way, Tbe five years of her absence had been years change to tbe little country village. A railway whUked ber across the bill road from Torriugton. Ouce she would hive made the journey in a yellow stage, drawn by four horses, with John Colney, cr 'a-ejt aod most disagreeublo of earthly stage drivers, ou tho box. Tbe villagfl, too, was smirlcnul aud freshened up new bouses, new furen, a new icon leuce around tbe small oval park tbat graced tbe reuUr f the tou new names above tbe gildfd 'rout of tbe abnps; a new set of gigling misses, on their way to the new browu-stone acade my, which stood where she bad ouce tbnugbt it an honor to attend tbe district Msbocl, in a pliln, one-story structure of faded brick. No doubt all these alterations wer for the better; bnt they made her heart ache with a seuse of loss unspeakable. And she turned into the shaded lane that led only to tbe Blessing farm. il nail ing to see the old home desecrated by the stranger's hand. No; there it stood, as she had always known it the very picture of home com fort, the center of all thoss modeit lux uries tbat a well-to-do farmer, of all oth er men, may most easily command. But, although the dear old house was unchanged, its inmates wcro new and strange to her. A stoat middle-aged mau, In a white summer suit, with a broad-brimmed hat and a cigar, sat 011 the steps of the piazza reading a news paper. A fashionably-dressed lady,soroo yoars his junior, swung iu a hammock upon the lawn, lost in a novel. Several children, in broad-brimmed bats and brown Holland blouses, were making tbe lives of two nurses a burden to thm, further down the lawn, among the elm trees where a swing had hung from time immemorial. "City" was stamped upon every face and figure that she saw, II.nl Maurice sold the place to somo re tired merchant, who would over-ornament and disfigure it in tbe modern villa style? If ono could but live their lives ovtr after they grow older, and aro taught by experience whit is' best for them I" tboucht Hister in her Badness, ouce moro. She would have gone np to the house and asked leave to rest and look around if it had remained in tho care of old Fanner Williams and bis wife, the ten ants of the upper farm. But she could not faoe these prosper ous, bappy "city people," who would look at her with their coldly-curious eyes, and wonder, almost audibly, "bat she could want," even if they did not ab solutely mistako ber for a "tramp." "I wish I could have gone through the strawberry paBtnre once more," the thought, as she turned back to tho rail way station, tired, huugry and tiure freshed. At the foot of the lane a gentleman, in a summer suit of silver-gray, stood lean ing against tbe bars with bis straw hat drawn over his eyes so far tbat he failed to see the stranger's silent approach. Will yon let mo pnss, if you please!' said lTestor, at last, after waiting sou.e moments. He wheeled ronnd, as if she bad struck him, aud stared doubtfully in her face. She uttered a gieat cry. "Maurice! Maurice! I heard that vou had sold the farm, and gone to Color- add!" "Hester, can this be you," ho nns ffered.' His oyos seemed to devour her. Words rose to his lipn, and were' forced balk again. At last he askctl: "Is your bnsband hero with yen, Hester?" "Sly husband?" "ivuy, yesi 1 uenra that jou were married very soon alter you went to tbe city." 'You heard wrong, Maurice! I bnvo not been married. I bave never even thought of such a thing." "Bnt why did you go, then, Hestet? Why did yon leave Deepdene? Wby did you refuse to marry me, if if thero was no one else in the way?" Poor Hester! She thought of tbe hot city garret, of the dream of fame that never bad been realized, of tho unlucky book that was lying in tbe black trunk, of tbe little burial board so hardly earned and saved. Tbe tears came quickly to ber eyes, obscuring the honest, handsome face on which she gaz:d. "Don't ory, Hester," said Miurice Blessing, taking her hand, "And tell me why yon wonld not marry me, deor?" "Because I was a fool!" sobbed Hef- ter. "Is the folly ended? asked Maurice, hiding a smile as be bent over her, "Can not you give me a different answer now, Hester? If you can, we will be just tbe happiest pair on earth, here on my dear old farm." "But you sold it and weut to Colorado," said Hester, wouderingly. "At least I heard so." "I was a fool, too, Hester; for I went to.Colorado.and I was quite ready to sell. But my brother-in-law, from the city, persuaded me to rent it to him for one year, till I bad time to think the matter over. When I came to my senses-al though I had not forgotten you, darling I was very glad tbat tbe poor old place was mice still, aud I came back some six weeks ago to see it. My sister aud btr bu.baud and family go back to tbe city uext week, stopping at tbe mountains on tbeir way. I shall bo left alone, with good Mrs. Williams for my bouse-ketp er, and her husband as head hired man just as I was before. Hester, won't you take pity on me. and come and share my home? I bave never cared for any oue but yon." I do not kuow in what wnrds Hester answered bim. But I see her daily in the cream-colored farmhouse, the very model of an active, bustling, good-tern, ncred farmer's wife. As for the hook she has utterly for gntteu it, ' She needs its recompense 110 longer, and she is far too bappy to care or wish for fame.

It is as frolicsome and more innocent looking than a lamb, but for inttrferiug with one's upright attitude in the community it is perhaps tbe best machine tbat has appeared iu Salt Lako City. Oae's first feilttig ou standing np on a piir of tollir skutis is an uucoulrolluble tendency to come from tojjelhtr. Oue foot may start out toward I laho while tbo other us promptly strikes out for Arizona. Tbe legs do licit stand by each other as legs related by blood should do, but each shows u disposition to set up in busiuess ulone, nnd leave you to take care of yourself as best you may. The awkunrducss of this arrangement is np. parent. While they aro setting up iuik petideutly, thero is nothing for you to do but to sit down and await future de velopments. Aud you bave tu sit do'.tn, too, without having made any previous preparation for it, aud without bavicg devoted as much thought to it as yi u might have dono had you been cousultid in the matter. One of tho most noticeable things at a skating rtuk is the stroug attraction be tween tbe human body aud the floor ol the riuk. If tbe human body had been coming through space for dais nnd days at the rittn of a million mills n second. without stopping at eating stations, aud not excepting Suudajs, when it strikes the floor, wo could uuderstand wby it struck the floor with so much violence. As it is, however, tbe thiug is inexpli cable. There aro different kinds of falls In vogue at the rink. Thero are tbe rear fall, and front fall, tho Cardinal Wol sey fall, tho fall one across the other, three iu n pile, nud so on. Tbere are some of the falls tbat I would like to bo excused from describing. Tho rear fall is the favorite. It is more frequently utilized than ncy other. There are two positions in skating, the perpendicular and the horizontal. Advanced skaters pnfer the perpendicular, while others nfftct the horizontal. ' Skates nro no respectors of persons. They will lay out a minister of tbe Gos pel or the Mayor of tbe city as readily as they will a short-coated, one-suspend-ered boy, or a giddy girl. When one of a man's feet starts for Nevada nnd the othor for Colorado, I bat does not separate him frcm the floor or break up bis fun. Other portions of bis body will take tbe place Lis feet bave just vacated, with a promptness that is surprising. And he will find that the fuu has just begun for the people look ing on. Tbe equipments for the rink are a piir of skates, a cushion, and a bottle of liniment. ABOUT FEET. "The largest pair of shoes that I ever sold to a lady," sat I tho merchant, "numbered nine. There are two sis ters; oue wears eiphts and tbe others nines, Tbo oldest sister," he continued, "tried to squeize on n pair of eigbts.but without success. Finally she gaye me an order to make a pair of nines, and tbey really look well ou her foot. Yon wouldn't think they were nines to look at thorn. We sell more nutnV'r ones than eights, however. I bave been in business fifteen years, aud I find that the majority of those who wear ones are either Southern or Spanish ladies." "What is tbe difference between tbe foot of a Southern lady and that of a Ynnkce woman?" we inquired. "The difference is the oimo as tbe difference between tho foot of a Southern man and n Yankee. Southern feet are narrow and bowed in tbe middle, giving them n very high in step. The Yankee foot is tpread at the toes, nnd bus more .surface. There is much grace about tbe foot of n Yankee lady, but it 1 tcks tbe suppleness of the Southern foot. Its merits are its ex quisite shape, small heel and streugth.
