"We might mortgage the place,"
said Miss Hitty, sighing.
"And retire to the almshouse, eh?"
returned her sister.
"Bat what alternative id open to
ns? Shall we allow Tom to come
to grief?"
"Tom richly deserves all the grief
that will fall to bis share, poor fel
low. Such a schemer. Kxpected to
make a fortune for us all, forsooth,
that we might tlannt in our velvet?,
drive our span, and fare sumptuously
every dy ! One dollar for us and
two kr himself, I reckon. bat
should such al'oy know about specu
lation? It's the old fctory over and
over. Speculating with other peo
ple's money is a little indiscreet, "'
say tbe least. I should have chosen
sackcloth and sites rather than vel
vets won by such means."
"Certainly. But now that Tom is
involved, nothing bat money will ex
tricate him. There's my watcb, the
heirloom from Grandma Pentecost ;
there are fifty diamonds bedded in
tbe case, if there's cne "
"Lore diamonds, every spark of
them."
"Not 13 mention tbe pearl and
emeralds."
"Doublets and split peir!.-, I dare
say."
"Yoq are so discouraging, Liddy !
We must have money. I don't sop
pose that tbe watcb would bring one
tentb of the sum, bat it would help
Dear! dear! there's Hannah de
Uotbchild with two millions of in
come, while yon and I can't raise
$5,000 though we should break our
hearts not even to save an old and
honorable name from contempt and a
foolieb young fellow from rcio. Alar!
alas!"
"Von know, Hitty, it might have
been different," suggested Liddy,
ber eyes wandering toward the old
fashioned square mansion crowning
tbe bill within sight, with its fringe
of elms and its spicy orchards be
yond. "Vou might have had enough
and to spare, Hitty enough to keep
Tom out of temptation." .
"And it was a temptation to poor
Tom, no doubt," returned Hitty, ig
noring the allusion, "seeing so much
money lying idle, and such a chance
for doubling it over and over, as he
fondly believed."'
"Pshaw ! A Thome bad no bael
ness to be tempted. Was cur grand,
father tempted at the time of the em
bargo, when be could have bad false
papers made out, as everybody was
doing, and save his fortune, and ltf;
as all independent ? If we mortgage
the place it won't bring $5,000 ; sod
who could we call on to take tbe
mortgage, and what should we do
afterward live in a tent, gipsy
style ? O, Hitty, if you hadn't been
so headstrong about Searl, ail this
would have been spared ns."
' Don't speak of it, Liddy ; it hurts
me still. How could T know what
would be best ?" And Miss Hitty,
pacing the long room with bead bent,
pansed at the casement, and saw tbe
sunset reddsniog opon Setrle Hill,
and touching the window-panes in
to jewelry. Tbe twenty years of
happiness that might have fallen lo
ber share op yonder had proved
twenty years of silent endurance
merely. She bad watched tbe sea

with an interest she had hoped would !"

with the yearai the lovely dallying
of the spring-time, the snmmer's
overflow of bloom, the splendor that
autumn wears, tne white magnin-J martyr, bat be had sworn be would

twenty years ago, Hitty bad loved and be bad kept his word. But per

"Yes. It strikes you oddly tht I

Auioag th Wen Warn Kill
Tbe process of killing beef cattle
in the Jersey City Abattoir, New
Jersey, is thus described by a late
visitor to that place:
There are ten or twelve steers ia a
pen, some lying down, some stand
ing. A man takes a stout rope about
one inch in diameter and three feet
long with a loop at each end. He
makes a slip noose of this and fat
tens it on the left hind leg of a steer,
above the second joint, and attaches
the loop at the other ead to a book
oa a rope cf th9 same size which goes
over the wteel overhead. A crack
is tarred and the animal is slowly
bat surely drawn from the pen. The
doors of the pea are closed, and tbe
animal, in endeavoring to keep his
feet, falls tnd bis straggles cease.
He is hoisted until all his feet are
cldar of tbe floor, . hen the butcher
puts his left hand oa one bora, turns
the head around, and with a very
sharp knife cats tbe throat clear
across. A pan made of galvanized
iron, about two feet in diameter and
six inches deep, catches the blood,
which is poured into a large iron box
oa wheels with a tight cover, to be
used ia refining sugar. After tbe
animal has hang eight or tea min
utes it is lowered, laid on its back
and kept io position by iron-pointed
sticks on each side. The hide is ta
ken from the head, tbe tongue is re
moved and tbe bead and horns are
chopped off witb aa-ax-- fearing the
horns attached to the bide, which is
then detached from the belly and
sides; ibe feet are cut off at the" knees
and thrown into another!arge box i
wheels. Tbe animal is then boisuJ
by a seeond wheel, a stoat stick
about four feet long haring been
placed in the sinews of the kind legs.
Tbe belly is opened from end to end,
tbe entrails are removed and denuded
of their fat and the heart and liver
are taken out and bung on bocks.
The carcass is then almost divided,
and hoisted
still higher, when the
tick on which it is suspended rests j
oa two beams running across the :
bunding at every wneel, and it is
slid away from the place of killing.
The whole carcass is thea thorough-'affright
