But when in splendor the queenly summer Reigns over the earth and the skies above, When Nature kneels to the royal comer, And even the Sun flames hot with Love, When Pleasure in the luscious weather, And Care lies out on the sward to rest— Oh, whether apart or whether together, It is then I} - Ella Whe PRISCILLA'S basks a cnow that I love you best, eler Wilcox, in Lippincott, S MANAG EMENT, DY MARAH CROSSE EACON felt 1 FARLEY, DODGE blue” enough, as he sat down to his six o'clock tea, in his humble home Forest Hill. It not that the tea was either badly served or poor in quality, for he in- variably purchased W the beat groceries the market afforded, and nothing Miss Prissy ever tried to do or make ever resulted in fail- ure. It was neither the eatables nor yet the drinkables that caused the cloud on the deacon's brow. As he expressed it, be ‘felt blue as a whetstone,” and the cause arose from the tightness in money circles. Miss Prissy, the deacons strong- minded daughter, perceived the lower- ing countenance, and wishing to con- ciliate the old gentleman a little, put an additional his tea “Third, i abstracted manner, for refiliment, Pris say smiled almost on was lump of sug and lastly sed the as Of cup po wer you what adjusting his knife something happe soon, we are gone t ympletely.,’ Even the shadow of smile that had playe 1 round the corners of Prissy’'s mouth died out, and she looked anxiously at her [ather as he went on: “There is a four-hundred-dollar mort- ? on the house, with interest at seven per cent., and po man can stand such a one- pee cent. as that, There is that undred-dollar note, and two of fifty dollars each, besides one hundred and sixty dollars yet unpaid on the lumber, seventy-five dollars— got to come some- how—=for the carpenters, twenty-five for the twenty-five more for the painting, Besides, that leaves us with the house not yet half finished, the ground yet to be grubbed and laid out and fenced, and not a cent, mind y pot a single cent—to do it with.” The deacon leaned back in and fairly groaned. The strong minded Priscilla got up, and walking round to his side of the table, laid her hand on his arm. “L to me, deacon,” said she, thoughtfully —~she always called him that when she felt particularly in earnest “listen to me, now, and I'll tell you the plan I have for extricating our affairs from financial annihilation.” “Talk away,” growled the bear. “Talk, at any rate, is cheap enough; even in these hard times,” Prissy declined to nctice the slight put upon her tongue, and continued, bravely: You know you have always refused to keep a cow, pig, or chickens. Now, then, let us have all three, and I will show you this fail that your interest money shall be forthcoming, besiaes having our grocery bill foted as it is made.” «“Pshaw, Priss!” ejaculated he, with a groan of dirapproval, ‘‘how could you do it! Besides, my credit n't worth a blue bean, 1 haven't the money lo pay for a cow, nor a pig, vot even the chick- ens, 50 there's an end of that.” In no wise discouraged, the strong minded young woman coolly continued : “I have ways and means for all of "em, deacon, $0 do in all things as [ suggest and ad- vise, 1 in turn will promise and ratity it, too, to take these debts and the unfin- ished house on my shoulders, metaphori- O SINAasn « lingering the oe ~ mason, FOU his chair sten cally speaking, and in three years’ time | we will owe no man, and our house and | groom shall compare favorably with any in the country. e deacon considered a moment, “Show me your ways and means, Pris.” “Well,” a little reluctantly, “‘you know the Laurels?

She had sold six hundred pounds of butter, at an average of thirty cents a pound.
