DELIA'S GOVERNMENT BOND.
" Why do yon go to Cherry Wood?"
asked evorybody three years ago.
" Because nobody else goes there,"
we truthfully an unfashionably re
plied, and we have never regretted
-
When the railroad-journey was
ended and the twelve-mile drive in a
two-seated-spring wagon was super
added, it must be confessed that the
sight of Widow ißlatcliford's, where,
in the Yankee parlance of our driver,
we were to " put up," was nut en
livening. Externally the house was
of bright red, and for a moment its
appearance increased our heat and
exhaustion but once inside, the
coolness and shadow were,inexpress
ibly soothing. The rooms were de
liciously dim to our weary,., eyes ;
through the window came the tink
ling trickle of water over rocks froth
a spring behind the . house, and tho'
the wall paper was a. pattern of choc
late colored urns in painfully preci-e
rows, on a ground of sombre gray,
and two mourning pieces' fratheit in
black wood, were conspicuous orna
ments, the pure white dimity cur
tains, and the jar of pale green and
delicately fragrant wood-ferns in the
fire-place gave grace and lightness
sufficient to redeem the depressive
effects of the first mentioned features.
The windows looked oat upon a
grand mountain panorama, crowned
with changing clouds, and the valley
stretching away below. ,We ex
claimed with delight as we sank into
the straight-backed-cushioned rock
era, and took in the situation.
"I expect you're dreadful fond of
mountains," said the good hostess
beamingly. "But hadn't you better
take some supper now ? The hills
will keep,. but maybe 'the vituals
won't."
They did not long, for we ad

with marked success. •What

tasted only those can know, who,
like ourselves, have travelled far and

bill after hill, to reach at last table
land, where the air is so pure so
clear, so bracing, that we rise body

seeing her. It was our firet Sunday
in the white meetinghouse, when.
with all the condegatiou we faced
the choir for the singing of the las

with its delicate tints and baby-blue
eyes, redeemed froul mere insipid
prettiness by the decided character
of the square little,chin and the firm
curve of the lips in repose.

Pleased smile from our hostess.
Brit what had pretty Delia Bligb
to do with Renbekt Gilson's home
coming? As all women from four
teen to four itcore are alive to
,any
hint of a love story, we proceeded to
importune Our hostess for informs.
'ion. and she, kind' soul, soon grati
fied us. _
Tretty belie 81if.7,11 and Reuben
Gilson had` " kept cdrapany " from
childhood,- and had been engaged
but after-Reuben went into business
at Grafton Mills and Delia • taught
school at Cranberry Cotnerg, a cool
ness arose between -them, ending in
the breaking of the engagement.
"Reuben is a favorite with me.
and so is Delyi for that matter," said
Matchford. " Girls are high
otrnng ; mostly they have,more pride
than uisdom whepj they're young.
Dely's no exception but she is good
material. I don't want to see her
spoiled.
" What began the coolness? " we
•
queried.
" Reuben lives to Mrs. Frye's.
when he is here ; she is his aunt. I'
guess that had as roach to do with it
as anything," said our hostess, with
a shrewd 'laugh. "I don't speak
against her. I know no harm of her,
except being Josephine's stepmoth
er, and that's more her misfortune,
poor thing,"
We knew Mrs, Blatchford's opin
ion of the thin-lipped "Josephine,"
having heard it aforetitue.when we
also heard the story o r e Doreina
Fle!cher'S brave struggle against
Poverty and public opinion. •
" Honey on i thel surface and gall
inside," our fidetess summed her tip ;
adding apologetically, "to be sure I
suppose she is soured by what she
has gone through. It must be wear
ing to ,be' disappointed always in•
what ion set yoOr mind on , getting,'
and it isn't every one has the OE to
drink vinegar and keep sweet."
"There is such a thing as making
the vinegar lourbelves and imbibing
it instead of 'something sweeter," w 6
suggested. "The bitter in every
cup may be transmuted."
" . Certainly." said Mrs. Blatehford.
" Bnt then, some has unfortunate
disOsitions, from the cradle, you
know." •
" Surely, if -Benhen Gilson ,has
lived' in the house with - her.he must
know her too well to be influenced
by her,if he really loved Delia Nigh,"
we Raid.
" Hum! " said our ; hostess skepti
cally. "Do you know blinder bats
than men are in some things? I don't.
He sees nothing artful in the way

twists them tolook queer. He thinks
she is fond of Del!, and . tries to

"Then he is very weak to be de

scornfully proclaimed little Mabel.

either. It's my opinion nothing, but
talk has parted Reuben and Dely :
that and their fool sh young pride.
Maybe it'll come right, m tybe it
won't. Either way folks' tongues
have enough to answer for."
If the coming right meant the re
uniting of i the sunlered lover•-, it
certainly did not seem probable t.s
the dais wentfon. Pretty Dehaisang

" Now fa me the rest," ,aid she,
presently. "Are you going to set up

" Well," said Mrs.' Blatchford af-

Then the old lady and young girl
kissed and cmnforted each other in
true wothanly fashion, and Calvin
Bligh never guessed what hnd deep
cued the flush on' his pretty daugh
ter's cheeks, as she gave him his tea
that evening.
Mrs. Blatchford's opportunity for
keeping her promise came speedily.
Opportunities do easily come to peo
ple in earnest. ' . =

Calk at first he raged 'like a wild

it, and then he threw back his fine
head and laughed so loud' and long
the good woman ,thoug t his reason
had departed. Then l e explained
to her how hisremployer had indeed
failed, and he himself Was undoubt
edly out of 'a situation- at present
lint.that he and his emploer's son
were '-. connected in some invention
which they Were struggling to get
patented; that they were contesting
the poilit with a wealthier man, and
h•t'l been like to fail for want of
fonds.
" Bnt we shall pull through now,
and our fortune is secured," said : the
young man. "As for' your offer of

the bond. It shall help me out of
perplexity, though it isn't needed to

'be in your debt for so much love and

Ten he kissed her wrinkled hand
wcar,the grace of a knight of old,
and went away.
Bit when Wido'w Blatchford and
Delta Bligh next met, ,was there not,
a private jubilee?
Cberrywood eyes began - to get
open, and' the Cherrywocid' gourd of
scandal to drOop in its highest
branches, about that time; and whfp
Reuben Gilson 'came back from a
month's sudden absence, there were
plenty to welcome him as a "worthy
young man, very smart, 'arid an in
ventor of real genius." •
Straight t•) the Widow Blatchford's
went Reuben, and- to her with grati
Jade and love he rendered tip Delia's
government bond, with marvelous
interest." •
"The land of man I" eriedthe dear
old woman, "but I can't take more
than it , was to begin with. She'd
never forgive me there, ,what a
blundering old creature I am."
"She?"cries Renb •n; his dark
eyes aglow.
It is my belief the Widow' Blateli
ford's blunder wee not uuconscions.
but, surely the error or, the purpose
were alike - forgivable. 'With laughter
aria tears she let him win from her
the - name. of her whose hand bad
been reidy,to pluck him from shame
and dishonesty, and if he went ,frorn
her presence to that of Delia Bligh,
ails will wish to loOk with curious
eyes °the interview that followed?
• "An they're to be married at
Christfins," said our good hostess in
extreme delight, as ahe told us the
news _next day. "The7'll live at
Grafton. Reuben says his wits is too
good to stay where folks blacken a
man's name for nothing, and think
themselves smart for doing it. Dely
was near not forgiving me for telling"
of her,. Lint there, an old womau like
me is blundering sometimes." •
"So then Wilt all right," we said,
"and all the talk accomplished no
harm. That's good." . •
Then and there our good hostess
turned With impressive uplifted fin
ger,'directed at our careless lips and
uttered this homily : *-
How No harm, do )ou say ?
Don't you call it something that those
children were parted for most two
years, just by talk? That they suf
fered and had hard feelings of each
other, and lost out; of their lives two
years they might liave been happy
in? That Dely's heart was near bro
ken by thinking him a thief, and
Rheuben's name was stained ending
his own- townsfolk? All over, you say.
Well, but the sears are there. The
pain needn't have, been endured?
Yes, but it was felt.l, 'Life wont look
exactly the sitter to, those children as
if they had never lest faith in each
other, and Retbenll never have the
charity that was his before he learn
ed low ready people are to fake
away a man's character wantonly.
"Slander turns oat a lie, and folks

But if they knew ,what words are,

IRISH LADIES.
- Happening to be, in Queenstown,
Ireland, one evening in July last,

that at first I was rather inclined to

I asked a question or two : " it a

"Never saw anything so grand in

" What class of women?"
The - fmt class; the' very beat from

I• knew how the common women
of Ireland looked. rhad . Seen hun

Their dress. was like that_ of
