Now they nre nil youe, Jlurlba'a nlone, nnd it'a no moro than right for 1110 to look out for her awhile, I'll writo immediately." "Yes, Niithnn, that Is right. I ltnow. but I can't help dreading il. I always had a horror of old maids;'' and Mrs, Tracy looked nervously around the plain kitchen of tho little farm-liouno. ' You needn't bo nlraid of Mnrlba; sho Kti't vnv old. mid I veutnra to sav none f tho prying, disagreeable old maids wo read of," In spite of his reassuring words, Mrs Tincv dn cried Iho arrival of tier bus- baud's maiden sister, whom bo bad not teen Mute tbo day be lelt bis Now Kng luuri bomo to try bis fortune iu tbo new West. Hut, ns Clara soon discovered, there wns nothing to fear from tbo quiet, snri Inced wouinu who cutne to them, whose life had been bo full of devotion to utb trn, and iioblo keif-sacrifice, that there bad been uo Umo for growing hard or bitter, because souio of li.e's bueetest bletsings bad beeu denied her. Tho children, llfit nnd Mablo and baby Hay, with uucrring Instiuct of childhood, felt the depth of her quitt uiuduvtu, aud took bcr at onco into their loving little hearts. Mrs. Trncy, nlthongb wholly unob trusive, was observant. This, together with ibo interest she frit for ber broth er's family led bcr, beforo she bad ueeu many weeks an inmate of bis bouse lo make a discovery. Katbau, in hti desire to get on in tho world, was missing much that would have made lite pleasant. Iu thinking so constantly of tho future, bo was loving all the sweetnesi of the present. That this was affecting the wbolo family was ouly too apparent. It wna teen iu Clara'H anxious, weary face, and repeated in 11 less deereo upon tho countenances of their ohildreu. There seemed to bo uo rest for any of tbtni. No rclaxatiou in the btrugglo for existeuoa. Nothing to vary their weary monotony of cverv-duy labor, which, like soma bugo Juggernaut, was crushing be neath its wheels all that might have mado life bweet and pleasant. Martha tdirauk from interference with tbehabils of lur brother's family; but, looking ahead, she saw for them nothing but sorrow aud disappiuttueut, and felt that something must bo done to btivo them. Watchiug for nn opportunity to talk alone wilb Nathan, she gladly accepted bis invltatiou one morning, to ride with him to towu. They were rolling rapidly ovsr the level prairie road, when, Martha broke the bilence, "It Is truly exhlllrating to ride iu this bracing uir, over these lino roads, espec ially with so nice a "rig" as you call it. Tho buggy is easy and tho borsra' really Que auluial. You must be doiug well now, Nathan. "I suppojo I am, Martha; bat It has bseu a bard pall, with losing crops.iick ueu, Ac.

"I intend lo lave 11 nice, largo barn I nnd souio cbnico catile; then I shall I build n good bouse nnd prepare tn take oomfort. There isn't n bitter farm thau I tnlno for mites nromrd, and I must make I the best improvements possible. Then, some day, we'll have tho best of every thing." "lint ho will Bhnro It all with you?-' "Why my family, of course!-' opeuing hie eyes wido with astonishment. "All except Clara, you mean," she si.id soUumly. "Why Martha, how you talk! It fs for her I'm working who else, I'd like to kuow?'' "Now, Nathan, just lake n few words lrom your bitter, v. ho menus only kind ness. I'vo bad experience, nnd in my judgment, Clara hasn't enough vitality left to take ber through another year of bard woilc. I lmvo interests at heart, and would tiot needlessly nronso your fears; but lam convinced that yonr wife is wearing nut. Sho must mt from this constant labor.or your children uill boon bo motherless. "Don't, Martha, talk lu that wayl Clara is nB well ns usual. Sho was nl wnjH (ileuiftr and delicate, I'd gladly have kept her in case, but she knew that she married a poor man, aud was wil ling to woilt up." "Hb was a liltlo annoyed. "I doubt not jou have been kind nnd gocd to her, nud now that sho has helped work tip so far, I kuow you will be glad to give ber a vacation. You do not realizj what it is to core for three children and do nil tbo uotk that must be done in a farm bouse. She might have been blender when'1 a girl, but not careworn. Tonight lfjon will look at ono of bcr old picluns, yuu will be con vinced that I am light." Suppose I nm wl:t-t then?'' How much wonld it cost to seud ber back to Ohio for tho wintej? I cau keep house.'' "Simply out of tbo question. She wouldn't go nuyhow. Marlhu," I thought 3 011 didn't know it; but she is nn bouithluk us a child to bee her father nud mother. She biisu't taid so, she never complains, but 1111 unutterable longing flltx lur eyes, and quick ttaib when fho tpeaks of them. Suro ofyor.r consent, nnd my willingness to keep house Icr ber, she would go gladly." And jou think it would do bcr good!'' "Undoubtedly, nnd it would bo tho thcnp.'bt medieins you could give bsr nud tho biiroit. Think it over a day or so, Nitbnu.'' That evening Mirtha wns uot.sur piised to see a startled, anxious look on ber brother's face, ai bo closely regarded bis wile, whenever ho thought hinuell unobserved Husbands nro often the blindest of all persons in ugard to their wives, but N.ilbuu was convinced. That uight when they were nlouo, be suddenly exel iinii'd: "Clara, Low would 3 ou liko to visit jour mother this fall? ' She looked at him n moment in silence, whilo a wave of crimson swept over ber pale face. Then, turning away, bLo said brokenly "Don't fall; nbont it. N.it; I know we can't nlfoid it, und I'd rather not sp:ak of it." "Hut we cau nfl'ord it. and Martha is willing fo keep honso for me. Now, do you want to go, dear?" Thero wus nu unconscious toue of re proach iu bis voice, nud a look of p.iiu ou bis face, which tho could not under stand. "Oh. Nathani sho sobbed, with ber face bidden on his shonl.ler, "don't Im agine that I lovo you any tho less, or am tirtd of our little home; but I do want to go. Just now there is nothinR iu Ibe world I waut no much us lo seo my fath er and mother." "Well, then, you shall go, liltlo wife. Don't cry so; I didn't know vou cared so much; but that settles' it, jon6halI go." . After Mrs. Tracy and tho baby were goue. Martha looked round tbo uiiornn. uieutcd rooms and resolved that there should bo something new, something bright and pretty, lo welcome hack the homo-keeper. Tho "front room" bad never beeu furnished, but after consid ering her resouicts, Mirtha thought bhe could luuungo it, if sho could pirouado Nathnu into buying a carpet. "A carpel? why, MnrlLnl" he exclaim ed, too astonished to say more. What was Chra's old homo like? You doj't want bcr to notice loo sharp n contrast ou ber return," said tbo sla ter, quietly. -"1 may get a carpet," thoughtfully; but so many other thiugs would hayj to lollow." 'Nat, when father nud mother died, we wcro going to divide thtugs, but yen had no homo then, and while John aud I stayed, oyer) thing remained the sime. When I came btto, I sold or packed everything, nud there U a big box for you, which is on the way out here. Be sides beddiuc aud clothing, there are pictures, vatcs, curtains, a table-spread, and some of mother's nice rugs. They will help to fnruisb to furnish tho room. 1 guess you cau aOord to buy a cane seat roclur aud two chairs, and we'll make tbo rest." - "I'd like to know how." "Thero are two bottomless chairs in tbo grauery; I will tbouha tho frames, cushion sent and back, and with stripes of embroidery aud heavy fringe they will be handsome That old rocker v.hioh is forever coming to pieces can be mend ed and treated likewise, minus the rock ers, nnd you'll have nu easy chair. A pine table, which jou euin make, stained and varnished, nnd poverl with ILe j spread, will do uleely." "Well, it sounds praotloable. I'll help nil I cm." "There will be ottomans toinaka, a Live and Let Live. PA., SATURDAY JANUARY mantlo to put up, and a cornloa for the curtains, It will tako our spare time for all winter, but how pleased Clara will bo." "I Intend to buve everything nico for her some day." "Yes, Nal; but n woman must bavo something to live on iu tho meantime. Thero's a lovo of tbo beautiful in overy woman's heart, and It must be satisfied. IT surrounded by grand scenery the mind can fctd on that; but hero, lu this level, monotonous country, I believe the Lomes should be very bright nnd attrac tive." "There may bo some truth In that,but I never thought of it before," replied Nathtn. "It is not common for n man to think ubotit tbo homo as n woman does, for be miuglss with the vorld.while.most of ber hours nro spent Insido tho four walls. Clara bad no time to fix up anything; that baby was a sight of trouble; but if you nud the children help, wo can do woudem." And they did. When Clara came hotne four mouths later, she scarcely knew tho place. "Como nnd look at your wife," wills, pered Martha, when Nathan bad finished the ohorca and was ready lor a happy evcuiug. Tbeie sho was in tho protly room, cha'ting with Ibo children. Joy nnd Rladness shone through ber face, which hod lost lis sharpness and pallor, and thero was an elasticity in bcr movements which recalled ber girlhood. "Sho looki ten years youngcr.Martha, nnd If I can help it she shall never work so again. You've taught mo a lesson I'll never forget. We'll take nil the oom fort we can now if we never get a big house," 'Martha has made this so prelfy, that wo Bhau't A-nnt nnotber," exclaimed Clara, bearing bis last remark as they entered the room. "I'm so thankful to you all for this pleasant home-coming.'' "Martha deserves tho thanks, for sho plumed it nil," said Nathan, catching up the baby. 'Yon nro n jowel, Martha; nud to think thnt I wai nrraid of you nud dreaded lo have vos comt?" ' Wns that berausa you knew that I was nu old maid," asked Martha, laugh ing. "Vcs, that wns jnst it. I didn't know you see, that you wero such n 'blessed old maid." THE BEAT BEATEN.

"My hnsbaud intends to carry It in." sho said. "Well," rnld tho tramp, "1 will carry It in and pile it up nico if you give me my breakfast?" At Ibis offer the lady consented, aud Ibe tramp went to work. After he bad carried iu n couple of arinfuls tho lady stepped to the door nnd found him Bitting on tho pile with his elbows on his knees and his face burled in his hands. "What is tho matter?" said she. "Oh. ladv," mid he, looking up, "I am so weak, for I bavo had nothing to eat since day before yesterday," saut be again covering bis fnco with his bauds. This seemtd to rouio the lady's sym pathy and she went in nnd soon returned with an excellent breakfast. After be had swept everything from tho board he rose nnd said, "Thanks my lady, for this sumptuous repast. Now let me cive you this advice. Never let your sym pathy get away with your discretion. I'm off. Tn, In!" and he walked mnjesli enlly out of the front gato. The tramp had gone but a short di- tance when he becaue deadly sick. He Bsalod himself on a curbstone, nnd a fow moments later, baying two or tbrco vio lent spnfitnndio ooutracliona of tho stom ach, he lost nil hh ill. gotten breakfast. Indeed his stomach would have follawpd suit hnd it not been thoroughly dove tailed to bis diaphragm. Ho believed that he was poisoned, and he became very much nlarmed. As Boon ns ho gained strength enough to get on bis feet bo slowly retraced big steps nnd found tho lady standing in the front door. "Madame," he said, "my breakfast did not stay em myslomach. I believe I nm noisincd." "That is not to be wondered at," said sho. -I suspected your little gnmo bav ing been caught onco before tbo same vny, so 1 prepared myelf for it by dos. ing your coQeo with tartar en-otic. Now let me give ymt a littlo advice: Ncvor ngalu let your rascality get away with your breakfast. To beat a dead beat beats everything. Ta, U!" nud she shut the door in his face.
