She usually was knitting either a mitten, or a little red stocking, or a baby's shoe, or wristlet, or a shawl. Her evcs were not rrood by gas-light; and ay she was a mana ger of the Old Ladies' h.unc, a visitor at the Orphan Asylum, and a friend and protector to f ji b rn children in general, fche was never at a loss where to bestow her knitted goods.

Missing the click of ihe needles, as ; We wmld liko to keep her with us one docs mi;.; a quiet sound to which loo :!. dine, but she has very inde the ear has grown used, I looked up. pendent feelings, Pen has, and likes My mother had laid down hrr work 1 1 support herself.

" hat are von Irving io tin, motL- i;-,u er dear ?" said I at last. "I am trying to see whether remember how I u.d to rnukt ness," answered the dear old with a smile, and a little sigh, ihe kind they put upon iior.-es, explained, seeing my puzzled bur lad V, "Xot " he look, but that which belongs to a loom.'' "1 never saw a loom,:? said I. "Ah, then 1 can hardly make you uudci-stund. The h. rness is a verv essential part of an ot fashioned loom." "Do you know how to weave ?"' I asked. "That she did as well as Penelope her namesake," said mv father, an swering for her. "1 think, however, he would have disposed of the suit ors more easily than that ladv did." And my father quoted some Greek which sounded very nicely, though I didn't understend it. The ohl irei:- tlcnian read the classics a great ileal in the original, and was raiher fond of quoting them, ''I believe," lit; continued after a pause, "that I owe my wile to her skill in weaving." "Tell me about it," said I, glad of auA thingto divert me. You see my husband was away about his busi ness as an insurance adjuster, and there had been so many bad acci dents that I could not help being anx ious about him. "Yes, do father," said my mother. "Weil you must know then," the old gentleman began, "that I was an only child, and my parents naturally thought a deal of me. They moved from Vermont into the (Jenesce coun try at a very early day indeed my father was one of the lirst settlers of Rloomfield. Some day we will go back there and see the old place. It was wild enough when they went there ; but in my time the wilderness was subdued ami blossomed like a rose. .My lather iarmed two hundred acres, and owned a sugar bush and potashery. .

So I went to school winters, doing my Lutin and Wrick with the minister, and helping on the farm in summer, till I was eighteen.

"'Rut how did it happen?' I asked. 'What was the cnuse of the quarrel, for I suppose there wasu quarrel?' ' A girl, of course,' said my moth er , with a tone of bitterness very un usual with her. 'Your father thought there was only cut; woman in the world, and that was IVnclope Mor rill; and she thought there was only one man iu the world, and that was Abner Hoyt. I don't know how much she was to blame. My sister Abbey always took her part, and said Penelope was over-persuaded 1' her folks to say she would have Xa than. Anyhow, she broke off her en gagement to your father and married Abner. Then your father married me, and we moved out here. That is all I can tell you V " ' Did Uncle Abner have any fam ily ?'

"I dont know how I became so." "Xorl! I never eoii'd guess. Well, Aunt Abbey and Malvina both look ed troubled when we told them of it. I'm afraid it won't do, children,' said my aunt, 'I am, indeed. Per haps Iought to have foresesn and prevented it. You have heard of j votir uncle Aimer V "'Mother mentioned him to me, once,' I replied ; 'but she cautioned me never to speak of him to father.' "Must so. I was afraid it was that wav,' said Aunt Abbey. 'How folks can be so inveterate, I don't know. Well, Penelope here is your uncle's only child. You see, her mother married again after his death. She was left kind of forlorn with this baby, and I asked her to come and stay with me. Old Major Winder he took a great fancy to her, and well, I suppose it was natural enough.' "'Natural for some folks.'said Mal vina, with emphasis. " ' Well, anyhow, tiic ohl man was very good to her, and gave the child a good education.. Rut, you see, he never made a will. I used to talk to him About it, and he always said he meant to provide for Penelope. Rut he was taken suddenly one day and the daughter by tho first marriage, who never could abide Penelope nor her mother ' '"Xor anybody else, but herself,' interrupted Penelope. '1 never could understand bow she could be Father Winder's daughter.' he wasn't much like him, that's i eer'tin; for a sweeter tempered old gentleman never lived,' continued my uiiiit. 'Anvhow she took everything; Pen h;,d hard work to get even her ow pother's things. However, she and then she did get them at last came to us. When her own father died. I did write a letter to your fath er unknown to Penelope; but such a letter as he sent mc ! I never dared let your mother sec it, Pen, but I'll show it to you both now.' "So she did. It was a bitter, hard letter nnd cruel and unforgiving. Mv cheeks burned with nn''er and shame w hen I read it. Penelope did j not sav a word at first, but presently i she brightened uo! ; 'Aunt Abbey,' said she, if I could him like me in spite of himself ' '" I believe you would,' said I. '"Well, I don't know your father is dreadful set,' said mv aunt. 4Anv- how Abner, yon owe everything to your father, and you ought not to xa against him.' "'Aunt Abbey is right,' said Penel ope, after alittle pause ; 'it won't do, Abner. We must give it up for the present.' "I was very unhappy at tho idea, and I dare say said many foolish things " "That you did !" interrupted my mother. "Well, Penelope was firm ; and when we parted she would not even promise to write to me. I was so down-hearted all my vacation that father thought I was sick and was for keeping me at home; but I oppos sed that plan with all my might, as you may guess. I once tricj te in troduce the subject of my uncle with lay father, but got such" an answer that I never attempted it again. I was very unhappy, indeed ; I could not bear to quarrel with my father, though I thought him very inuch to blame ; but neither could I endure the thought of not marrying Penel ope. "Things were in this state when I returned to college. I had heard! from Penclopo once, through Malvi- r. ua, who told me, anion" other bits of news, that the Lyman family lrom Taulet were going move to Rochester, and that .she meant to send a parcel to mother by them. "Toward spring I received a let ter from my mother, asking nic to come home for a little. She said father had sprained his ankle so .that he could not get about, and that he wanted to see me. She added that she did not know what she should have done only for Mary Winder, a young lady wh had been visiting her, ami had stayed lo help her. ".Mary Winder, I said to myself, and then my heart gave a great jump, for I remembered that I'enelope's middle name was Mary. It seemed very unlikely that 1'enclopc should be suviwr with mother, and vet I ; felt sure that I should find her th.rc. j And I did. ' "I found my father looking older ! timl imin ftpli! t!in I had ever seen him. His ankle was better, bo that j he could go about the house, and h oiiiiLoio:; fc'. iL " J vw. m , : but he bad been obliged to leave a k - reat deal to James White, the hired man, and things soon snowed tne difference. I had not been in tlie house half an hour before I heard the 1 praises of Mary Winder sonnded ! both father and mothur. by " 'She savs she saw a rood deal of ' vu at Aunt Abbey's! said mv moth- tr. " 'Ob ves I auswered ; 'she stav- ed there most of tne time. Aunt ! Abbev thinks the worltl oilier. Y Here is sin ?' "' She is ovtr at widow Urown'a sitting with Emma!' answered moth- er. 'iou know the poor ciiild nas been in a decline this long time. Somehow she ha taken to Mary, aud feels as if she must have her every day.' " 'Suppose you go ofcr and bring her home Abner,' said my father; 'it will be quite dark, and the road is rather lonesome.' "I fancied my father looked at me with a curious questioning expres sion as he spoke, and a dim wonder crossed mv mind as to whether he ' suspected anything; but I dismissed it at once, remembering the letter 'Aunt Abbey had showed me. 'It can't be !' 1 thought ; 'he would not have her on the place an hour.' "How did Miss Winder come here?' I asked, as mother followed mc out t j t:.e doer. ' 'Oh, she came up to Rochester with a family from Vermont, and then came ovr here to bring rue a parcel from Abbey. So, of course, I asked her to stay and make a vis it. I had a piece in the loom which Jane Pratt hail just drawn in when she was taken sick, and nothing would do but Mary must finish it. She does beat all for weaving that ever I saw. Then your father sprain ed his ankle, and 1 wasn't very well, s she stayed on, and I don't know what I shall do when she goes away. I wish we could keep her always.' "'Father seems to like her too!' war t I ... 1 i sam 1. mv neari ecnoing me wisn.

"Well, I went after Penelope aud brought her home, anil many a pleas ant walk we had afterward along that same lonesome cross-road. It was rather hard word for me to learn to call her Mary "Yes, you used to scare mc half to death saying J'cn .'" interrupted my mother. "1 had to tcil father it was a nickname Aunt Abby gave me. Oh dear, I'm afraid we said and did a gootl many thnigs- that wouldn't bear examination. I have always felt ashamed of the whole perform ance." "Marrying me included, 1 suppose. Wei), matters went on so for some weeks I took hold of the farm-work, and soou got things into shape agaiu. I went down to commencement and graduated, and then camo back to take hold of the harvesting. 1 had quite made up my mind to be a farm er. "When the beft of the harvest work was over, Ptniclope proposed to my mother that she should draw iu a pie e oi line linen, lor wiiien tne yarn was reatly. When she came to examine the loom, she found the har- ness iu need uf repair, and as making harness is best done by two pair of hands, she nr-ked me to help her. - -I don't know what the harness is!" said I. "'Well, it is the system of strings in a loom by w hich the threads of the wrap are always alternately rais ed and depressed so as to allow the passage of the shuttle. These strings are knotted 111 a' peculiar nnd some what intricate manner. We were engaged in this process when mv fathrr passed through the room. "'That's right Marv! said he. said Harness him up tight !' " 'She has done that aireatl v I, speaking without thought. "Mary looked scared. vo much the better, said my fath- r. 'I hope you will both go as well in double harness.' So saying, he went into the next room nnd shut the door. "I wonder whether my father sus pects anything?" said 1. Mary look ed very grave, nnd I had to repeat the question before she answered. " 'I wonder whether he does or not; but one thing I know, Abner? I shall not go on in this way longer. It is a shame to deceive him and your mother as we are doing. I have felt uneasy this long time, nnd now I have made up my mind I shall tell him the truth this very dav.' "'And suppose he orders you out of tho house !' said I. " Then I must go !' "'And forbid me eve t see or speak to you again !' ' 'Then we must wait. Anyhow, Abner, 'we never can expect or pray for a blessing while we go on in this way.' "Well, we argued the matter back and forth. I did not feel easy my self, for I was brought to think a lie the nieancat of all things. Finally it was agreed that we should explain matters that very evening, only I insisted on taking tho task to myself. "So we did. After' prayers that night, I told father and mother that Mary and I were engaged, and only waited for their consent. '"All right!' answered my father. 'I couldn't wish for a better daughter than Mary, and I'm sure mother will say the same.' " 'Yes, indeed !' sa'd mother, wip ing her eyes. 'I hoped all along it would be so.' "Mary was now very pale, but she spoke out quits clear aud steadily: " Tin afraid you won't say so wken you know all about it, L'nvle Sa than.' "Mother started at these words, and turned a3 pale as Mary herself, but father only said quietly :, "'Why not?' "Mary went on and told the story in as'fcw words an possible. When she had finished there was a silence like death for a minute or two. 1 literally dared not look at either fath er or mother. Presently my father spoke : " 'Mary and Abner, do you think that your father is so blind that he cannot see a hole through a ladder ?' "Xeiter of us answered, but there was something in bis tone wuich seemed to lift a weight off my heart. Father went on : " '1 began to guess the secret be fore Alary wan iu the house three days, aad then au accident made me certain. I happened to Tract some papers which 1 had put in the cupboard in Mary's room. She was out with uiother. When 1 opened the ciit;uoard tho first thing that 1 saw was a little Latin Bible. I knew it m a minute, even without the writing on the fly-leaf. It was one that 1 had giten Abner ou the very last birth-day we speot together. I'm not good at describing my feel ing,' said my father, in a trembling voice ; 'but as I opened the book it secind as if my brother's fare looked out from the leaves at me. 1 put it into my pocket and went out into the woods to the potashery. I stayed there the waold day, and children, if ever any man had a hand-to-hand light with the devil, I did that day. Rut I wasn't left alone as I deserted, and I gained the victery. That very night, coming home, I sprained my ankle. At first I thought I would tell Mary tliieetly, but then 1 said to myself: " 'The child has come here to see if she can't coax me round- I'll let her work it out her own way.' "'When Abner eamc borne it didn't need a college education to see how the land lay. I didn't tell mother, I thought the brewing would work itseif clear if it was let alone, aud so it has. Only children,' ad ded my father, impressively, 'I hope we have done with concealments and secrets. They are edge-tools not safe, to play with. They made all the trouble in the first place. How ever, we won't talk about that,' be said, glancing at mother, 'It turned out for the best as far as I was con cerned.' " Well, that's about all there is to tell. Father gave me a farm next his own, and built us a nice new bouse, aud the next spring we were married. Rut neither father nor mother would ever call my wife Pen tlope." From the Aldine. A Novel Lottery. Marriage is frequently mentioned as a lottery, and it certainly is a lot tery in a place called Hollandtown, near (freen Ray, Wisconsin. It seems that there were twelve widow ers in-the place and eleven widows, and that there marriage was advisa ble. Accordingly a committee was appointed to fix" things. A report, signed "M. Vandebtrg, Secretary," says that, thinking it economy to havo them married, and not knowing how to pair them, a committee was selected to bold counsel as to the best way of coupling." It took this com mittee the space of one hour to de cide as to the method. It was de cided to dispose of them by lot, anil "consequently," says the report, "the name of all the widows were placed in a box, and likewise the names of the widowers." The drawing took place a, five o'clock p. M. Monday, the 8th, at which time it was decided that R. Menton shall marry Mrs. le Rruin. M. Menton shall marry Mrs Yink. Mr. Rode shall marrv Airs. Vande- berg. Mr. Fustenberg shall marry Mrs. Kertens. J. W. Wesscnbcrg shall marrv Mrs. Wilde. AI. Ycrkpilen shall inairy Mrs. Per-' renboom. Mr. Weyetiberg shalL marry Mrs. Heesakker.

New England is said to have patented an invention for the protection of bees from the at tacks of the honey moth, which en ters the hives at night and rifles the stores. The idea arose out of his fa miliarity with the daily routine not of bees only, but of hens. Hens, he observed, retired to rest early; bees seek repose earlier still; no sooner arc they sunk in slumber than the moth steals into their abode and de vours the produce of their toiL He has now built a stand of hive with a hen house above it.. The bees first betake themselves to their dwelling and settle themselves for the night The hens then eonie home to roost ou their perch, and, as they take their place upon it, their weight sets some simple mechanism to work, which at once shuts down the doors of all the hives. When tho day dawns, how ever, the hens leave their roost, and the removal of their weight from the perch raises the hire doors and gives egress to the bees ia time for their morning's work. 0 .tv t: r r , . - iiO. til.

People would not complain if those troubles were all, but to tell the truth, reader, there are two girls living iu that locality, and the one that was not with the fellow was always jealous of the oth- er, and vice versa. Rnt finally one of them trot the start of the other' and succeeded in walking along that street under the windows of rickety old fellows who wanted to sleep soundly for at least six nights in succession. The girl who had been thus chiseled out of her fellow got mad. She peep-; ed through her blinds every night, and just caught the faint "buzz-buzz-buzz" of their whispers as the two wandered up and down the sidewalk. The residents were wishing some body .would turn a big dog loos and stop the every -evening courtship, when all at once the girl that had listened so attentively through the blinds conceived a project to haev re- venge, and at the same time have some fun for the neighbors. It was about eleven o'clock when old resi dents, not graveyards, began to yawn, and wish that young man and his girl would vamose the ranche. The jealous-hearted young damsel went to her room, clothed herself in a huge sheet of fine linen without any purple, and putting a pillow on her back glided out the back door. It was dark. Following the alley she sidewalk toward where the parties were meandering. The young man wasjast whispering in her ear, tel ling her how he would protect her from the dangers of this world and how he would spill his heart's blood before any ruthlsss hand should harm even so much as a hair upon her head, when the "woman in white" came in sight. They both halted, and all was quiet for a monieat. She came nearer and nearer, and when within about ten feet of them that young man gave an unearthly yell that startled the whole neghborhood, and dashed off down the street like a frightened deer. The young lady wuu was wiiii oini aiso gave a little shriek and a glance at her flying bean, and concluded that it was use less to depend npon his manly arm for protection when danger seemed to lie near, she made a rush for her house and flew to her room nearly frantic with fear.

Observing at a short distance some object floating on the surface of the water, which they at first took to be a large sail, oP a portion of a wreck, they rowed elose to it, and one of them struck it with his 'gaff.' Sud denly the mass became animated, and put itself in motion. From among the folds a huge beak, as large as a six gallon keg, reared it self, and a pair of ghastly preen eyes, staring and prominent, glared on the terror-stricken men with au expression of the most intense feroc ity. The beak struck in the bottom of the boat violently, aud suddenly Irom around the head two arms of crops-like fleshiness darted out. aud began winding themselves around the boat, and encircling it ia their livid folds. A moment more and the boat would have been dragged beneath the waves. Rut before the suckers with which the arms are fur nished had elosed with their deadly grip, one of the men seized a toma hawk which was fortunately at hand, and severed both arms as tLey lay over the gunwale of the boat. The monster immediately ejected an im mense quantity of inky fluid, which darkened the "water for 201) or oOO yards, and moved off. The 'men saw it for a few minutes after, with its tail out of the water. The body they estimated to Lave been tiO feet in length and five feet It diameter, or 15 feet in girth. One of the arms was destroyed or lost, but the other is at St. Johns, in the hands of natu ralists. It measures nine feet in length, and three and a hall feet in circumferajce, nd the men say they left ten feet attached to the body of the monster.- i l'allca Msii and Kama.
