And evermore my soul will loath the same.

water which Angus Ilowlnnd still hold
in his hand and said, witli a emilo: "I
must go, Aug. Father wants me,"
"It seems to me, Luce," said Angus
as ho gave her the pail, "that your
father always wants you when he Bees
mo around. Ho hates mo for somo rea
son, but if it's, nil right with you I can
stand it."
Lucia looked troubled as tlio said,
"Qoodby, Ang," nnd turned toward the
house.
Old Marstlen was an oxtreinely illiter
ate man, but in business ventures ho hud
always been successful, and now, though
a confirmed invalid, his head was full of
schemes and devices, nnd ho used to sit
for hours at a tiina planning measures
by which his hoard of wealth might be
increased. Lucia took after her mother,
who had boeu "n powerful good womnn,"
so people said.
"Luce;"' said tho old man is she ap
peared nt tho door, "I want this to bo
the last of your talking with that good
for uothiug'lout, Ang Howland. The
idea of a likely girl like you talking
friendly with such trnsli! I won't have
it, nud if he den't steer clear I'll glvo
him something to remember me by,'-'
and tho old man shook his cane vigor
ously. "I do not seo why yon should dislike
him so," said Lucia. "Ho has had a hard
timo getting nlong, but that isn't his
fault."
"Ilia father vu cut out to dio in the
poorhouso," yelled tho old man, "nnd
why didn't be die there"
"Because," Lucie answered, "Ang
worked hard nnd took care of tho old
folks."
Her father kcowled. "Old Howland
was intended for tho poorhouso, nnd no
good comes of ilglitin Providence. Ho
died without n cent, itnd so will tho
young feller. Hut that nin't the point;
thero are plenty of fellers 'round here
that has money, but thero nin't many
sech gals us you bo, I reckon, Why,
Luce, you havo tho choico of the town,
and it's your nofflnu duty not to be
rash." Tho miserly features of tho old
man relaxed somewhat as ho admiral his
daughter's comely face. He experienced
a kind of fatherly affection for her, nnd
was even willing to eiwnd money freely
that sue might make a good appearance.
Whenever he saw lier dreseed in somo
now nrticlo of apparel lie would mutter
to himself, "It's all light; it will all
como back; I know u good investment,
for I have mado n good many yen, n
good many."
A few evenings after tho event ubovo
mentioned Lucia was walking; iu tho
garden when she heard somo one tap
lightly at the gate, and Iu tho moonlight
saw Angus Howland. "Ho wants to eee
me," she thought as she hurried through
tho lilacs to tho garden path. "Father
will miss me if I am gono long," said
Lucia on npproacntng, "Imt wo can
visit for n minute."
Luce," said Angus, "I hae come to
saygoodby. Your father says tut me
to Keep away aroiu yon iiecunse i nai

lie exclalniod excitedly, striking the
f enco a heavy blow with m list.
'I don t care about you being to rich,"
said Lucia. "I'll like you just as well
if you are iioor, but don't stay away so
long," and she looked beseechingly into
his face. "You my have bad luck, yon
know, and not earn very much money
after all, but I'll think Jiut us much of
you. Are you going fart" she utked,
looking down at the ground.

"Luce!" called old Maradeu from the
house, "where be you'
"Here I am, father," Lucia replied.
"Well, it saems to me that you are a

Ho went outside nud sat dowti on tho

ho, witli n crafty look on his face.
Cicely was the girl who sorted and dealt
out tho mall nt the village postofllce.
Not long after this Lucia ceased receiv-1
lug letters with a California postmark.
Time passed nnd it was now nearly
ten years iuce Lucin and Angus had
stood at the garden gate and said good
by. Old Slarsden had fallen into astute
pf despondency so utterly abject that
Lucia was souictimes on the point of
yielding to his wishes, but she thought,
"I'll wait awhile longer; something has
happened or he'd never have broken his
Word." -
Ono day her father culled her to him.
Ho was nnublo to get about tho house
now, but lay momied tin in his chair nil
Lday with his eyes closed, n very unhappy
oiunian. "Liiice, ' sum lie, "I u make
short work of it. Tho last investment I
made I staked all nnd I lost. It was tho

"I'll woik for yon!" cried Lucia.
"You slinll uovcr go to tho poorhoue."
And sho was moro tender in the enro of

Ono day as she stood near her favorite
bed of flowers sadly thinking how booh
she would have to leave them, n voice
broke tho silence of her meditations:
"I beg your pardon, but your flowers

n tall, well dressed gentleman staudlug

"Father, this gentleman wishes to ecu

"Well, have a chair."
"I understand that jon hno suffered

kindly.
Tho old man groaned. "I'll havo to

"It luny not bo .o bid as that," said

Tho old man turned ou him Uercely.

TUo llureil lleail ut Funerals.
Tho bared head at funerals is, for hy
gienic reasons, becoming n custom of
tho post in somo localities. An agita
tion against it waa, started by Captain
George A, Baabo, a member of many
benevolent societies in San Francisco,
and as a result of his labors nearly
every society of tho kind on tho Puciflo
coast has adopted resolutions to the ef
fect that tho members shall keep their
hats pi! at the graves of their departed
comrades, (J rand Army posts in Cali
fornia have followed suit. Societies in
Milwaukee nre discussing the same
question. Health Commissioner Win
gate, of that city, recently made these
sensible remarks on the subject of tho
exactions of the modern funeral:
Death cornea at n time very often in n
famijy wheu an overworked! and nearly
or perhaps a husband, is nearly if not
completely prostrated, and whose health
Is in a most precarious condition. Phy
sicians can testify, as no other class in
the community can, to the often serious
results ot a funeral as it is conducted
nowadays. A delicate member of the
family, who perhaps has not been out
of the liouse for weeks, worn down and
prostrated by the care and grief inci
dent to the loss of a dear relative, is sub
jected to n long, slow ride in n carriage
on a cold, inclement day. Custom has
had its way; the victim, following tbe
oustoui, thinking it a duty, returns to
her home, not to go out again till she is
fpllowed over the same road to the last
resting place by perhaps others who fall
victim after her.
I am comparatively a young man, and
yet I have not fingers enough ou which
to count cases of this kind that have
come under my own observation and iu
my own experience as a physician, and I
have resolved to raise my voice against
this custom whenever and wherever I
may hare the opportunity. Chicago

A'fter All, Disappointing.
Firo island would be sighted the next
day if all went woll, aud the great
steamer rushed through the water as if
she wero as anxious to reach her pier as
thoso whom she bore were to bo nt home
again. A little party of men sat by a
smokestack telling stories. The play of
tho moonlight on the waves had turned
tho narratives .Into rather sentimental
channels, nud the judge, giving way to
tho influence of the "lovers' lamp," told
tho following story:
"You know I was a colonel in the
Union army in the war. Well, early in
tho struggle I was ordered to Louisville,
whoro I reported to General Don Carlos
lluell. Instructions were given mo to
go lntocainp with my regiment about
etc ihKm south of (he cits-. The place
chosen for the encampment was tho
lawn of a fino country place, tho home of
ono of Kentucky's blueblooded old fam
ilies. Tho owners were known to be in
Btrong sympathy with the south, bo wo
had no compuuetions about disfiguring
tho grounds by making our temporary
homo on them.
"On nrriving nt tho farm 1 and some
of my officers rodo up to tho house to
arrange for such food ns wo could get.
Wo found two young women, pretty as
pictures, awaiting us on tho broad ve
randa. They had seeuthe preparations
for pitching the tents, and wero evi
dently not pleased. 1 dismounted, mado
my best bow and explained that the exi
gencies of war compelled us to camp on
their lawn. 1 assured them that the
Boldicrs would inconvenience them as
littlo as possible.
"Tho two listened to my little speech
with looks of anger, nnd tho taller one
snapped out: 'Yon shall not camp on
our placo. The lost timo Union soldiers
wero hero wo didn't hava cream for our
coffee for two weeks and we don't pro
pose to stand it again.'
"Wo soldiers, accustomed to pretty
rough fare, could not help laughing at
this, and tho flush on the faces of the
women grow hotter. I hastened to
apologlzo and to Bay ngaiu that wo
would bo as considerate as the necessi
ties of war permitted. Then wo rodo to
our tents.
"Tho next morning I visited tho house
again to sco about getting some provi
Bions. The young women were still
hatghty, but I did my best to soften
their antipathy. I did savo them much
annoyance nnd they could not help being
grateful. Bomehow I found occasion to
visit the houso dally, and sometimes 1
managed to conjuro up a BeconH pretext
before bedtime. At the end of a week
the sisters regarded mo moro as an Indi
vidual and less as a Union officer, for I
studiously avoided referring to the war.
Once or twico tho elder ono told me
with flashing eyes what would happen
to onr men when they met a Confederate
force on tho battlefield. Her brother
was a captain In General Humphrey
Marshall's army, and Bho warned mo
against getting within rifle shot of his
regiment.
"Wo got on swimmingly on tho whole,
however, and I confess 1 grew more

I told the news, but it disappeared al
most instantly. Holding out her hand
to me alio eaid frankly: 'Goodby, colo

"I laughed. 'Would you llketoBco

" 'Oh, yes. Why do you nsk?' sho said,
nuzzled.
" 'Well, I'll send him to seo you then.'
It was her turn to laugh, and eho said
mockingly, 'You'd better look out when
he's In the eamo county with you,' I
rode away, tho tones, but not the words,
ringing In my ears.
"Not long uf tcrward my regiment was

A Cool Head.
Thero is nothing that conduces to a
successful meeting ot emergencies bet
ter than a cool head, with a feeling of
perfect confidence that everything is
going to como out all right. Whether
things are "coming out all right" or
not, at least the feeling of quiet self
control makes ono better able to work
toward tho good result. To a mother
this self possession is invaluable. In a
large family small events calculated to
upset the domestic machinery aro con
stantly occurring. It seems to bo a law
of nature that children should continu
ally havo hairbreadth escapes and come
within an inch of losing their lives.
But It is equally a law of nature that
they should escape. And whenever tbe
critical moment arrives in her own lifo
or lu the lifo of another, it is important
for a woman to remember that tho very
worst thing she con do at that moment
is to lose her head.
To do that means to be helpless in
stead of helpful, to bo a drag instead of
an assistance. In an emergency one
should rather seem heartless than in
efficient. There are always ten people
ready to cry or faint or shed tears over
tho sufferer where thero is one who
stands coolly by and sees the way to
help him. Affection and sympathy are
often best proved by Ignoring tnem
particularly when the moment arrives
that calls for action ana not tears..
