Diana like fnaturcs, n'ld hair twisted

my knees and my chin iu my hands.
('.fie llarnabas liorkelin sit in the
middle of tha circle, ureut, stiff and
rather criin. He was stout and
mii.rt, wtiu a guzzled mustache, a
little round, bald spot tin the crown
of his Lend, and two glittering black
eyes that wero always sending their
dusky lightnings iu tho direction
least expected. Uuclu H.iruabas was
tich and wa wero very poor. Uncle
Kartiabas was wise iu the ways of
the world, and we wero inexperi
enced. Uncle Ilarnabaa was pros
perions in all he did, while if their
was a bad bargain to be made we
were pretty sure to be the ones to
make it. Consequently, and as a
matter of course, we looked up to
Uncle liaruabas, and reverenced his
opiuions.
"What do wo proposo to do about

ing her beautiful jotty brows.
"lea, that s exactly it, said my
mother, nervously; 'because, Brother
liarnabas, we dou't pretend to be
business women, aud it's certain wo
cannot live comfortably on our pres
ent income, botuotmng has got to

My inothor leaned back in her
chair with a troubled face.
Yes,'' said Uncle Barnabas, 'some
thing has got to be done but who's
to do it V
Another dead silence succeeded.
"I suppose you girls are uducatod,
said Uucle Barnabas t "I know I
found enough old school-bills when
I was looking over my brother's pa
pers.
"Of courso," said my mother, with
evident pride i "their education has
been must expensive. Mmic, draw

"Yes, yes, of course,'' interrupted
Uncle Barnabas. "But is it piactioalT

Eleanor looked dubious I was
quite certain that I could not Mnie.
Lenoir, among all her list of ac
complishments, had not included the
art of practical tuition.
"Humph !" granted Uncle Bar
nabas. "Queer thing, this modern
idea of education. Well, if you can't
teacn you can surely do sometuiug.
What do you say, Eleanor, to a sit
uation f"
"A situation 1"
The color fluttered in Eleanor's
cheeks liko piuk and white apple
blossoms.
"I spoke plain enongb, didn't I T"
said Uucle Barnabas, dryly. "Yes.a
aituati tn."
"What sort of a situation, Uncle
Barnabas 1"
"Well, lean t hardly say. Tart
servant, part companion to au elder
ly lady," explained the old gentle
man. "O, Uncle Barnabas, I couldn't do
that."
' Not do it T And why not f
"It's too much too muoh,' whis
pered Eleauor, losing her regal dig
nity in the pressor of the emergency ,
"like going out to service r
"And that ia precisely what it is,"
retorted Undo Barnabas, nodding
bis bead. "Service I Why, we're all
out to service, ia one way or another,
ia this world."
"Oh. yes, I know loitered poor
Eleanor, who, between her distaste
for tb propesttd plan and bar anxiety
at
Dot to offend Uncle Barnabas Berke
lin, didu't quite know what to say j
"but I I've always been educated
to bo a lady.''
So you won't take the situation,

up at a little whishy-washy waton
color drawing of Cupid and Psyche,
an "exhibition-piece" of poor Elea
nor's which hung above the chimney
piece.
"I couldn't, indcod, sir."
"Wages twenty five dollars a
month," mechanically repoatod Un
cle Barnabas, as if he was saying olT
a lesson. "Drive out every day in
the carriage with the iniaiiH, rat and
I'tttiiiry to take care of, iso lui n house
with all the improvements. Situd.iy
afternoons to yourself, and two

"No, Uucle Barnabas, no!'' said
Eleanor, with a littlo shnddur. "1

Uncle Barnabas gavo such a pro

to no lauyt'jinfr for us, after all,
cried our Kleanor, indiguuntly.
"Stingy old fellow , I should think
he might at least adopt one of us !
He's as rich as Crosstts, aud never a
chick nor a child."
"He may do as he likes about
that," I auswered, independently.
"I prefer to earn my own money."
So the nextjnorniug I set out for
tho unknown bourne of New York
life.
"Uncle Barnabas," said I, as the
train reachod the city, "how shall I
find where Mrs. I'rudence lives"
"Oh, I'll go thore with you,'' said
he.
"Are you well acquainted with
her," I venturod to ask.
"Oh, very well indood," answored
Uncle Barnabas, nodding bis head
sagely.
We took a back at tho depot and
drove through ao many streets that
tuy bead spun round au l round like
a teetotum, before we stopped at a
pretty brown-stone ruausion i t
looked like a palace to my unaccus
tomed eyes and Uncle Barnabas
helped me out
"Here is where Mrs.-Prudence
lives," said he. with a chuokle.
A neat little moid, with a frilled
white apron, and rose-colored rib
bona in her bair, opened th door
with a courteay, and I was oonduot
ed into an elegant apartment, all
gilding, exotica, and blue satin da
mask, when a plump old lady, dress
ed iu blaok silk, with tba lovlieat
Valenciennes loo at ber throat aud
wrists, oama smilingly forward, like
a sixty-year old sunbeam.
"So you've ooina back, Barnabas,
bavajoaP laid sue, and brought

one of the dear girts with 3 ou. Come
and kiss me, my dear."
"Yes, Husy, kiss your aunt." said
Uncle Barnabas, flinging his bat one
way and his gloves another, as he
sat complacently down on the sofa.
"My aunt t" 1 echoed
"Why, of course," said tho plump
old lady t don't you know ! I'm your
Aunt Prudence,"
"But I thought," gasped f. "thai
I was coming to a situation."
"Wall, so you aro," retorted Uncle
Barnabas. " Tue-ni(uation of adopt
ed daughter in my family. Twenty
live dollars a month pocket-money,

"t Hi, Undo? ' cried I, "Kleanor
would have boon so glad to come il
she had knowu it."
"Fiddlestrings and little fishes ! '
lllogically responded my undo. "I ve
no patience with a girl th it's ton

land order tea, for I'm as hungry as

Aud this is tho way I drifted iuto
my luxurious homo. Lleanor, iu
tho country cottage, envies me bit-
tcrly, for sho has all tho tast s which
wealth and a metropolitan home can
gratify. But Undo Barnabas will
not hear of my exchanging with her.
"No, no!" says ho. "Tho girl I've

Troubles of a Newly-Wedded Pair.
The Troy "Press" tells an amusing
story of tho vexatious disappoint
ments which befell a recently miir
1 rod pair. It reads thus : "George
W. Pratt of Pittsford, Monroe coun
ty, aud his wife were made ono just
beforo Christmas, and like most peo
ple started on a wedding trip. Port
lleury was thoir destination, aud
they reached Saratoga in safety.

tho stroet Constable J. V. Gilbert,
voluuteerod to assist tho man in

Port Henry for the bride. She,
sensiblo woman that sho was, got on
the down train to come back after
her husband Tho up train and the
down met at Saratoga. When the
former came into tho station the
bridegroom boarded it and was
whirled way northward just as tho

south from whsro ho was. Half way

this particular point tho husband anil
wife passed "uubu-knowuost" to
each other. When tho groom roach
ed Saratoga he found his wife had
left for the north on tho last train,
aud ditto wife when she rotchod
i'ort Henry. Finally an orW was
sent to Port Henry peremptorily re
quiring tho wife to stay where she
was till the husband should como.
By obeying this order the two got
together at last and everybody was

It is a beautiful bush, growing to tho

it by sovoral corpulent individuals,

The Gentleman.
Every man may bo a gentleman if

There is but little of tho truo metal
about them. Pel soual contract re

So fur us our ubsei vatiou goes

Shortness ol Life.

life We never recall it without bo
jiug powerfully imjiressu I by its
I truth. "Consider," ho says, ' tho

und that u uiau actually lives only
half his space. The other half piss
es in a state resembling death. I'ou
do uot tako iuto tho account tho
years of infancy, which are il'stituto
of reason, nor tho iu 1 ly ilisoases,
aud the many cares of old ttge, tlioaj
I penalties of longevity. I'ho sutiies
I grow dull, tho limbs are racked, tho
I hearing, tho poiver of walking; tho
teeth, also, die before us, an 1 yet all
this timo is reckoned iu tho period
of a lifo.
But, short as lifo is at tha bast,
those who complain at its brevity let
it slide by them without wishing to
seize and 111 tko the most of tha gol
den moments. How much time do
we waste iu indecision, in vain re
grets, delusive hopes, und unground

our previous existeii-o is wasted iu
mere waiting ! Waiting for some
thing that seems necessary for our

Some Curious Facts About Tools.
Kvery iiicchunic knows that old
tools, which have been laid asido or
lost for a long time, seemed to havo
acquired additional excellence of
quality. Razors which have lo.it
their keenness and their temper, ro
cover liko mankind, when given thorn
t'lito to recuperate. A spring regains
its tension when allowed to rust.
Farmers leave their scythes exposed
to tho weather, sometimes from ono
season to another, and find their
quality improved by it Boiler
makers frequently search old boilers
carefully, hen reopened for repairs
after a long period of service, to find
any tools that may havo buen left in
them when last repaired, und if tiny
ate found they are aim st invariably
of unusually fine quality. The
writer, when a boy iu the shop, fre

tools by the workmen, looked abnit
