Te Let Kipple Grange. Mr. Pixley was a real estate agent. Mr. Pixley had had a goodly number of houses en his list in his time, but naver one se persistently, unalterably, perseveringly en his list as Kipple Grange. Year after year it has figured en his books as a "desirable country residence, te be hail en reasona ble terms," year after year it still hung hopelessly en his hands. Ner was Mr. Pixley the only real estate agent who had wrestled, se te speak, with Kipple Grange. Other land brokers and rent-collectors had their " try " at it, with equally unsatisfactory results. It had been advertised iu newspapers and pasted up en bulletin beards, and still it icmaiued " Kipple Grange Te Let." " Hang the old place !" said Mr. Pix ley, vehemently scratching his bald head. "I wish it would burn down, or blew away, or something ! It's a disgrace te a business man te keep such an eye-sere en his list. I've a great mind te put old Miss Brijrgs into it, te keep it in order until I can get a better tenant. She wants a place cheap. I'll let Iter have Kip ple Grange for nothing." Se when Miss Briggs came tiptoeing into the real estate office a faded, melan choly little old maid, leading her terrier terrior deg by its string, aud wearing a grccu veil te neutralize the spring winds Mr. Pixley told her that Kipple Grange should be hers, for the present, at least. " You'll probably Hud it lonely," said he. " I dote en the country," said Miss Briggs. " And very much out of repair," he added. " I don't doubt but that it will de for me," said the little old spinster, her faded eyes brightening. " Probably, also, there's a ghost about the premises," jocesaly uttered the agent. Miss Briggs shook her head with a sad smile. " It's live people I am afraid of," said she, " net dead ones." " Well," s.iid Mr. Pixley, " Kipple Grange shall be yours this quarter, if you will fix up the garden a little, uul give the place a liecd-ia sort of leek. Of course it will be for sale, aud I shall expect you te de your best for our interests." Aud Miss Brig-rs ceurtesicd, aud said, " Yes, she would," and withdrew, greatly elated in spirit. Upen the same day, the 23th of April, Mr. Bcggcrall. the real estate agent of Dorchester, let Kipple Grange te old Mr. Hyde, who was a naturalist, and a botan ist, and an entomologist, te say nothing of half a dozen ether istx, and who wanted a quiet country home, with weeds aud meadows iu its vicinity, wherein te prose cute his beloved sciences. And Macphcr Macphcr sen & Ce.. of Leng Island, made a bargain with the Kcvercnd Mr. Bcllairs, an invalid clergyman, who was iu search of ceuutry air and complete repose. Mrs. Bcllairs was a pattern housekeeper, and gloried in the presiect of grass bleaching, new laid eggs, wild .raspberries and plenty of plumbs and apricots for preserving pur poses. And strangely enough, it occurred te none of the three real estate agents te let the ether two knew of his action. "There is never any demand for Kipple Grange," said Masphcrsen & Ce., indiffer ently. " I'll write te Pixley and old Mac when I get time," said Beggarall. "There's no hurry about Kipple Grange," thought Pixley. "If Miss Briggs keeps it from tumbling te pieces, she will de very well." Meanwhile Mrs. Kipple herself, the plump widow whose grandfather en the husband's side had bequeathed her this impracticable piece of property, began te think of .running down te leek at it her self, "They tell inc there's no such thing as letting it," said she. "I've a mind te go down and sce for myself. One really pines for the ceuutry, new, that they are selling lilac blossoms and pansics iu the streets ; and I'm quite sure that change of air would de me geed. I'll take Dorcas, my maid, aud a few cans of peaches and sardines, aud we'll picnic at Kipple Grange, just for the fun of the thing." "It never rains but what it pours," saith the ancient proverb ; se upon this windy, blooming April day, when the sun ny meadow slopes were purpled all ever with wild violets, and the yellow narcissus was shaking its golden tassels ever the neglected borders of Kipple Grange, the old brickheusc, which had steed empty for six geed years at least, became all of a sudden alive. It was an ancient, mildewed structure en the edge of a weed, an old red heuse whose front garden tangled ever with rose briers, and grown with the fantastic trunks of messy pear trees, and apples that leaned almost le the ground, sloped down te the bank of a merry little rivulet. Here, the tiger-lilies lifted their scarlet turbans iu the July sunshine, and the clumps of vel vety sweet Williams blossomed first and sweetest. Great cream-hearted roses swung against the tumble down stone wall, and leve-in-a mist, Londen pride and all these rare old fashioned flowers of our an cestors ran riot, sprawling across the grass grown paths, and p.i eking themselves into the angles of the fence, where the honey suckles trailed, aud the scarlet poppies looked like drops of bleed. The old gar den of Kipple Grange was like a herticul tural show gene mad in midsummer. And even new it was sweet with tufts of crocus, blue velvet iris aud daffodils, while at the rear rose up the silent hemlock weed, still aud scented and emerald green in the twi light. Miss Briggs, with her terrier deg, her baud boxes, and her peer little hair trunks studded with brass nails had get there early. She had opened the windows te let iu the yellow glow of the April sunset, kindled a lire with straight sticks en the deep tiled hearth, and was sitting en a starch-bes turned upside down, drinking cold tea, and feeding her deg with ecca sienal scraps of canned beef and baker s bread. " It seems rather lonely here," said the little old spinster te hcrself, "and the rooms are large and dreary-looking ; but I dare say I can hire a little furniture iu the village, and the garden is really superb. I never saw such tulip roots in my life. Aud the little brook twinkling at the feet of the wall is an idyl in itself." Miss Briggs, who had a geed deal of poetry in her starved soul, sat down the can and reached ever te leek out of the window at the golden, western sky.. " Se quiet, tee I " said she, " se se cluded I" But, te her amazement, even as she looked, she perceived the figure of a stout old gcntlemau, bald and spectacled and carrying an immense flat traveling case under his arm, who was picking his way among the rose -briers that lay prone across the path, stepping here and there te ex amine the growth of silver green house leeks en the garden wall. Miss Briggs, who was somewhat near that this interloper was a tramp. She hurled the tin can recklessly down into the budding currant bushes. " Ge away !" she cried. Mr. Hyde peered upward, with one hand back of his ear. " Eh ?" said he. " Or I'll set the deg en yeb," squeaked Miss Briggs, encouraged by the shrill bark eitne terrier. "Weman," said the scientist, 'who are veu i" " I'll let you knew," said Miss Briggs, waxing mere and mere excited in her in dignatien. " Hew dare you trespass en my premises ?" " Hew dare you trespass en mine .?" re torted the old gentleman, curtly. " He's a madman," thought Miss Briggs, aud she remembered, with a thrill of terror, that there was no key te the big front deer, and the belt was rusted into two pieces. At the same moment the sound of whooping voices was heard through the wide, echoing halls, and three chubby lajls rushed hilariously in, tumbling ever one another as they came. " Hurrah !" they shouted ; " hurrah ! Ain't this a jelly old cavern of a house ! My ! here's a fire ! aud here's an old wo man I" Miss Briggs, who had drawn her head iu from the window, stared at the three cherry-cheeked invaders, who returned her gaze with interest. " Beys " said she, severely, "what are you doing here 1 " ""Why," said Master Bruce Belliirs, stat eleven, " it'i our house. And pa and ma are helping unpack the cart at the south deer. Aud I've get a red bird, and Johnny's jet a. breed of Bralima chickens in a basket, and Pierre has a monkey." "But, boys," said Miss Briggs, with a little hysterical gaap, " this is my house." " Ne, it ain't," said the thrce Masters Bcllairs iu chorus, "it's ours. We've rented it for a year, and pa and ma are unpacking down stairs." "Is that your pa?" said Miss Briggs, with a sudden inspiration, as she pointed te the old gentleman in the garden who steed stock-still, like the Egyptian obe lisk. " Ne, indeed," said Pierre, contemptu ously. " Nothing of the sort," s.iid Johnny. " Our pa ain't such a guy as that chuck led liruce. ' I think I must be asleep aud dream ing," said Miss Briggs, as the deer opened and a stout blooming matron entered upon the scene, with a kerosene lamp in ene hand aud a basket of carefully picked china in the ether, while from her iiuger depended a bird cage. My geed woman," said the Rev. Mrs. Bcllairs, " I suppose you have come here te sec about a situation. If you can bring geed reference as te character " "Yeu are entirely mistaken madam," said Miss Briggs, with energy, " I am here because " But at that moment, Mrs. Kipple her self, with Dorcas, her maid, entered the room. She was a tall, handsome woman, dressed in elegant mourning, and she used an eye-glass as she talked, and somehow she seemed te take up a geed deal mere room than anybody else. Mrs. Bcllairs sctdetfn the kctescne lamp ami the bird cajjc, Miss Briggs' terrier steppsd barking and the three boys instinctively retired behind the starch box. " Who' are you all ?" said Mrs. Kipple, surveying the sceue through her eye-glass. " Ami hew came you te be here ?'' " I have taken this heuse," said Miss Briggs, with dignity. " Se have we," said Mrs. Bellairs. " Se have I," declared the bald-headed old gentleman, who had by tfiis time made his way up into the ruby light of Mrs. Briggs' fire, and steed there cleii ugly hug ging his flat traveling case. " Dear me !" said Mrs. Kipple ; " this is very singular. Aud I have come here because the house wasn't rented at all." And then ensued a general chorus of explanations, laughter aud deprecation whesa general effect was heightened by a single combat between Master Pierre Bcllairs' monkey and Miss Briggs' terrier. "What are we te de?" said Miss Briggs, plaintively looking at the hair trunks studded with brass nails. "De?" said Mrs. Kipple, briskly " why, there is but one thing te de that I sec : tue house is uig enough ler us ami half a dozen families te beet. Let us all live here together." " lam sure I have no objections at all," said Mrs. Bcllairs. " Neither have I," said the old gentle man, setting down his flat traveling case with a sigh of relief. " 'Birds in their little nests agree,' " quoted the Reverend Mr. Bcllairs, who had by thi3 time entered upon the scene, with ene joint of a bedstead balanced across his shoulder. And it really seems te me as if we might de the same thing." Se Kipple Grange was let, in geed earn est. Mrs. Kipple aud Dorcas established themselvcs in two sunny rooms looking te the south, where the apple boughs brushed against the lozenge shaped panes of the eascment. The Bcllairs family settled down all ever the rest of the fleer, iu a miscellaneous, cosmopolitan sort of way, mixing up birds, old china, sermon paper, patch-work and theology iu a manner which amazed the precise soul of gentle Miss BriggK. The scientific man perched himself en the top fleer, where he could have a geed outlook with his telescope, and set up his specimens without let or hindrance. And Miss Briggs herself made a home-Iiko little home en the second story, and devoted her whole energy and net without some degree of success te keeping the peace between Chice, the monkey, and Nip, the tcrrhr. Mrs. Kipple, however, get tired of rural felicity, and returned te the city iu the autumn. Mr. Beliairs received a call te a Dcla ware parish, where peaches where thicker than blackberries, and the climate was soft as that of Italy, aud he accepted it promptly. "What shall we de new?" Eaid Mis Briggs, who was disposed te take a timorous view of things. Mr. Hyde pushed his spectacles en te the top of his head. "Don't you like the house?" said he. Yes," Miss Briggs admitted, "I like the house." "And don't you consider the situation salubrious?" "Certainly," said Miss Brigas. "Then," said Mr. Hyde, looking at the edge of his geological hammer, "why don't youBtep here?" "What, all alone by myself?" said Miss Briggs. "Ne," said the scientific gentleman ; "with me I" "Goedgracious I" cried Miss Briggs. "Webothiike this place," said Mr. Hyde, "we like the situation, and we like each ether. Why shouldn't we settle down here for life ?" " But I never have thought of such a thing," said Miss Briggs, in trepidation. "Think of it new," said Mr. Hyde, in accents of scientific persuasion, as he laid down his hammer and took her black -mittcned hand tenderly in his. And Mr. Beliairs married them before " S.J'i and Kipple Giange has never been te let since. Drepping1 Inte Poetry. Brooklyn Eagle. "If you please, sir," said the young lady timidly, as the exchange editor band ed her a chair, " I have composed a few verses, or partially composed them, and I thought you mizht hele me finish them and then print them. Ma says they are real nice, as far as they go, and pa takes the Eagle every day." She was a handsome creature, with beautiful blue eyes and a crowning glory as yellow as golden roses. Thcre was an expectant leek en her face, a hopefulness that appeared te the holiest emotions, and the exchange editor made up bis mind net te crush the longing of that pure heart if he never struck another lick. " May I show you the pctetry?" con tinued the ripe, red mouth. " Yeu will see that I couldn't get the last lines of the verses, aud if yen would be se kind as te help me '' " Help her ! Though he had never even read a line of poetry the exchange editor felt the spirit of the divine art flood his soul as he yielded te the bewildering music. Help her ! Well, he should smile. " The first verse runs like this, she went en, taking courage from his eyes : " Hew softly sweet the autumn air rue uymg woodland nils. And nature turns from resttul care " Te anti-bilious pills I" added the ex change editor, with a jerk. "Just the thing. It rhymes, anil it's se. Yeu take anybody new. All the people you meet are " "I suppose you knew best," inter rupted the young girl. "I hadn't thought of it in that way, but you' have a better idea of such things. New, the second verse is mero like this : "'The dove-eyed kin upon the moor Boek tender, muck and sad. While Irem the valley comes the rear"' " Of the matchless liver pad !" reared the exchange editor "Thcre you get it. That finishes the second se as te match the first. It combines the fashions with poetry, and carries the idea riirht home te the fireside. If I only had your ability in starting a verse with my genius in wind ing it up, I'd quit the shears and open up in the poetry business te-morrow." "Think se?" asked the young lady. "It don't strike me as keeping up the theme." "Yeu don't want te. Yeu want te break the theme here and there. The reader likes it better. Oh, yes. If you keep up the theme it gets monotonous." "Perhaps that's se," rejoined the beau ty, brightening up. "I don't think of that. New I'll try the third verse : 'Hen- xadly droops the dying day, As tii-ht springs fieni the glen, Aud meaning twilight seems te say " " 'The old man's drunk again,' wouldn't de, would it ?" asked the exchange editor. " Somebody else wrote that, and we might be accused of plagiarism Wc must have this thing original. Suppese wc say new just suppose we say ' Why did I spout my Ben?'" "is that new ?" inquired the rosy, sweet lips. "At least I never heard it bofero. I don't knew what it means." " New ?" Deed it's new. Ben is the Pres byterian name for overcoat, and spout means te hook. 'Why did I spout my Ben ?' means why did I shove my copper? That's just what twilight would think of first, you knew. Oh, don't be afraid, that's just immense." "Well, I'll leave it te you" said the glorious girl with a sweet smile that pinned the exchange editor's heart te his spine. " This is the fourth verse : "The merry milkmaid's sembre song Ue-echoes from the reckv, As silently she trips along." " With holes in both her socks, by Jove !" cried the delighted cxehange edi tor. " Yeu sec " " Oh, no !" remonstrated the blushing maiden." Net that." " Certainly," protested the exchange editor, warming up. " Nine te four she's get 'cm ; and you get fidelity te fact with a wealth of poetical expression. The worst of poetry generally is, you can't state the things as they are. It ain't like prose. But here we've busted all the established notions, and put up an actual existence with a veil of genuine poetry ever it. I think" that that't: the best idea we've struck yet." " I deu't seem te leek at it as you de, but of course you are the best judge. Pa thought I ought te say, " As silently she trips along In autumn's yellow tracks. Would that de ?" "De? Just leek at it. rhyme te rocks? Net in don't. Besides, when yen and ' reeks ' yen give the Docs tracks this paper it say ' tracks ' impression of some fellow heaving things at another fel low who is scratching for safety. 'Socks,' en the ether hand, rhymes with ' rocks ' and beautifies them while it touches up the milkmaid, and by describing her con dition, shows her te be a child of the very nature you are showing up." " I think yeu're right," said the sweet angel. "I'll tell pa where he is wrong. This'is the way the fifth verse runs : " ' And cIejc behind the farmer's boy Trills forth his siinplu tunes. And slips bcaidc the maiden coy--' " "And splits his pantaloons; done it myself ; knew exactly hew it is. Why, bless your heart, yen " Snip, snip, snip. Paste, paste, paste. But it is with a saddened heart that he snips and pastes among his exchanges new. The beautiful vision that for a moment dawned upon him lias left, but the recol lection in his heart of one sunbeam in his life, quenched by the siiewer of tears with which she denounces him as a "nasty brute," and went out from him forever.
