THAT NEW SOFA.
r. .
" George," tutid Mrs. Hall, aatliey were
in their pleasant Kitting room one even
ing, I was never so much a-shaiiied ia
my life as I was to-day."
" IUally," answered her hatband, smil
ing, " it ruast have been a serious matter.
What was it ? "
' Why, I called at Mrs. Savary's venter
day, and she showed me her parlor en
tirely new furnished."
'You were ashamed of that, were
you?"
Come now, yon are laiihiitjr at nie,"
naid his ife, pouting. I won't say an
other word"
"If you don't," said her liu.-hand in a
mockinir, tragic tone, "I shall never re
cover from the blow."
"You are inosrrijrible; but if yon had
only waited a moment I would have told
yon what it tiu th..t I w is asha'iied(oC
Mr. Savary had an eleiftit mfa; you
can't think how it sot off the ronm. She
told me that if she .ily have one
decent article of furniture in the room, it
should be the sofa."
"And you were ashamed of her re
mark?" " Of course not."
" Then I am still in the dark."
" Why, it made me think of our old
fushioned sofa, and what acontruat it was
to the one at Mrn. Savary'a."
"So it might bo, if it wc.. Is ih same
room w ith it ; but you know it is not. I
am w,re it is comfortable enough."
" So would a feather bed be," retorted
his wife ; " but I gnpptwe you would wot
be in favor of putting one in the parlor.
But I wasgiiin to tell you that to-day
Mrs. Savary railed npon nie, and of
course I invited her into the parlor. You
ought to have seen the glance she cast on
our oi 1 sofa."
" But, ae I diiln't gee it, suppose yon
describe it to nie."
" (f course, she cou'J not help regard
ing it as very shabby, though she did not
say so, for fear of hurting my feelings."
" And that made you ashamed ? "
"Of course it did. 1 don't believe there's
a family in town that has got such a
w retched loooking article of furniture."
"I Iwlieve it ia whole, is it not? "
" Yes."
" The only objection you have to urge,
then, is that it is old fashioned."
"lsnt that enongh?"
"You know,"s.iid the young husband,
Cravely, " that I have special reason to
value that sofa. It was my mother's and
some of my happiest recollections are
connected with it."
" Well, there's no objection to keeping
it. We could put it in our chamber, and
buy a new one for the parlor. I saw a
lieatitiful sofa to-day at Whi! marsh's
cost only fifty dollars. I couldn't help
thinking how much it would set off our
parlor. It aoul.l give a certain style to
it that it hasn't now ? "
" Fifty dollars would be a large sum
for me, Mary."
" Why, I am sure you have a salary of
eight hundred dollars."
" Very true ; but it has to be spent in a
great many different ways."
But it only cot us six hundred, last
year."
" that is because we were economical.
You know it was our ambition, or mine,
at least, to save up something against a
rainy day. I may be sick, or a hundred
thing may happen. I shall grow old, at
any rate."
" But you know, George, it only costs
fifty dollars. You cculij still save one
hundred and fifty. It's a good thing to
s.'.e money, I know, and I am is much
in favor of it as you are ; but one likes to
enjoy life as they go along and not de
prive themselves of its necessary comforts
just for the sake of saving."
" So you look on the new sofa in the
light of a necessary comfort do yon?"
asked George, smiling.
" Yes," said his wife, iDgeniuly, be
cause it is necessary to my comfort. Be
sides, wecaneasily save the amount our of
our ordinary expenses, and save np as
much as w e did last year."
(f this George was not fully convinced
but he saw that bis wife laid it very
much to heart, and finally consented to
go over to the furniture warerootus the
next day and took at the coveted article.
Mrs. Hail's eyes sparkled us he made his
conclusion. She knew that, having gone
thus far, he would without much difficul
ty lie prevailed upon to parcha.se the sofa
George had hitherto proved a very in
dulgent husband, but this indulgence,
thus far, had not been severely taxed un
til his wife made the atquai stance of
Mrs. Savary a woman of large preten
sions, whose highest ambition was to
make a show. Her influence was be
gin'ning to be preemptible on her young
friend, who was easily impressed by
others.
To return, to our story. The next day
Mrs. Hall, accompanied by her bnsbmd
visited the furniture warehouse, and de
sired to be shown the sofa. It was really
a handsome article, as George would read
ily have admitted, even if he bad not
been volubly assured of the fact first by
bis wife, and secondly by the clerk, who
expatiate I enthusiastically upon its
merits.
"Ism afraid," said George, wavering,
"it won't correspond with the rest of the
furniture."
"Xo danger of that," said bis wile, " it
will set eff the rest, and make them all
look handsomer."
"It may be so," said George, doubtfully.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21. 1888.
" I suppose yoa know better about such
thing than I do. If yoa are desirous of
having it, I suppose I can bay it."
" Oh, George, if yoa only will, it will
be such comfort ! "
"Then," said her busband, turning to
the clerk. " you may send it to my house.
" It shall be done this forenoon."
The young husband took five ten-dollar
bills from bis pocke ami paid them over
t r the sofa.
" This is the money." said he, as he
was walking home, " thji I was going to
put into the savings-bank. You know
that this is quarter day, and for the last
four I have put in this amount. Now, in
consequence of our sew purchase, I shall
not be able to."
" I is only for once," said his wife,
"and then only consider how mnch let
ter our parlor will look."
Was it only for once? Time would
show.
When that sofa came home, ami was
installed in the place of honor, the old
fashioned sofa was removed to a chain- i
ber. Somehow it did not seem to set off j
the room as much as it was ex-vt-d to.
It looked out of place, as Mrs. Hall could
not help confessing to herself, though she
was not dispoxed to speak of it. The
plain but ueat Kidderminsler carpet look-
ed decidedly cheap in comparison with
; it. However, Mrs. Wall resolutely shut
ber eyes to this unpleasant fact, and con
j tinued enthusiastically to expatiate in
praises of the new sofa. She could not
i be contented until Mrs. Savary had rsll
j ed and expressed her opinion of iL This
happened before long.
" My dear," said that lady, taking a
critical survey of the apartment, " your
sofa is a handsome one, I acknowledge,
but will you pardon my suggesting one
thing?"
"Certainly, Mrs. Savary."
"Then allow me to suggest that a dark
Brussels carpet is necessary to have it
show to good advantage. - w this Kid
derraister, I dare say, is a tolerably gisxl
one, but it couldn't have cost more than
a doliar a yard."
"Only eighty-wven Cents," said Mrs.
Hall, a little confused.
" So I suppose. Well, you see. a carjiet
at eighty-feven cents a yard doesn't cor
respond very well ailhafifty dollar sofa.
To ttl! the plain truth, the old fashioned
sofa looked more appropriate."
Mrs. Hall almost wished that she had
never bought the new sofa; but, having
done so, she was determined, if possible,
to have everything to correspond. She
was to) wise to say auything about it at
present, but wade I until a week before
the next quarter day.
Then she begun to indulge in brief
hints w hich at length became more de
cided. At first, George would not hear of
s new carpet. He was determined not to
omit his usual quarterly deposit this
time; but at length his wife's importun
iti "S succeeded, aided by a lurking con
viction on his o'.vn part that there was a
real incongruity between the sofa and
the plain carpet. The new pun-base cist
fifty dollars aud a trine more, which
made George look a little sober ; but he
could not deny, as bis wife said, that the
room looked a good deal iuipruve-L
And was this all? By no means.
By the time the carpet was put down
it was discovered that the chairs, which
were only cine seated, looked quite in
ferior to the good company which had
recently been introduced. When the
next quarter day arrived, it was found
absolutely essential to purchase some
black stuffed chairs. Afterwards came a
new mirror, and a piano was hired, for
even Mrs. Hall did not venture to sug
gest so large an out lay as the purchase
would require. So the piano whs brought
and some fifty doilais year were paid
for its use, though by the way, it was
never used, since Mrs. Hail had no ear
for intiic; therefore it served only for
ornament.
By the time the year was up, tleore
found thft two hundred and twenty-fir"!
dollars had been spent for furniture, and
not one cent had been deposited ia the
savings bank. More than that, as their
style of living had increased with their
new furniture, which had unconsciously
elevated their ideas, George found him
self some hundred and fifty dollars in
debt. At this time, or just before, the
great cotuinerciid revulsion had swept
over the land, and George's employers I liver will produce serious forms of kid
had not been spared. They had not fail- j ne. Mnd liver disea-es, malarial trouble

in their employ, they should lie obliged

come to six hundred dollars. He went
home much depressed, as well he might I
be. His expenses increased, his income
diminished, and a debt to pay, which
would swallow up nearly all he had laid
...... ., , j
Heat length told his wife the cause of !
bis despondency, on her anxious soiicita
tion. The vanity and love of show she
had exhibited lay on the surface. She
determined to express her sympathy in
an active way. What that was i w ill ex
plain. When George came home the next
evening totea. what was his astonishment
to find a load of furniture liefore his door.
" Can it lie possible," he thought, that
Mary has been purchasing new furni
ture?" Looking more closely he observed that
the new parlor sofa and other articles of
furniture were included in the wagon
load. Full of amazement he entered the
house.
" What's all this, Mary ? Wliat have
yon done with the parlf r furniture?"
" Sold it," said bis wife, composedly.
"Sold it! " exclaimed George, in sur
prise. " Yes ; I knew that your circumstances
were not as good as they have been, and
I thought the money would be worth
more to us than tbe furniture. I had
beard that the W'alkins were about to
furnish their house, and thought they
might be willing to buy our furniture at
a reduced price. Here is what I got for
it,"
She placed in her husband's hands a
purse containing one hundred and fifty
dollars.
"Mary," said he, with emotion, "yoa
don't know how yoa bare relieved my
mind. This will just pay off oar debt,
and I shall not be obliged to take the
money from the bank."
The year passed, again business reriv-
i ed, and with the first of January George
I had bis salary raised to one thousand
v
dollar ; but though his means are in
creased, bis wife has learned a valuable

Entirely Reformed.
One of the strangest stories of a drunk
ard's reformation is told in the Philadel
phia TWa. William U , a prvr-
ous tradesman of Eastern Pennsylvania,
lust his property through unforeseen bus
iness troubles, and, leaving his young
fxutily, went West to retrieve bis fortune,
but discouraged by want of success, be
took to drink, and finally became a de
graded loafer. He drifted eastward again,
and was seen in Troy, N. Y, hanging
around liquor saloons. He had lost his
manhood, and even his very name - hav
ing long been ashamed U be called by it1
ami men knew him as "Tbe Worm of
the Still."
Once, soon after the arrival of a circus
and menagerie combination to exhibit in
the citv, the drunkard saw one of the
keejiers purchase a pailful of whisky for
a sick elephant, and snaked after him to
the circus tent, following the impulse of
bis raging thirst.
The keeper put the bucket of whisky
down before " Betsy," the sick elephant,
and she drank about half of it. The in
telligent brute knew it was medicine, and
did not promse to take more of it than
she thought she needeiL The bucket,
still half fuM of liquor, was left standing
near her, ami the keeper's attention wes
called away for a moment.
Hardly was his back turned when a
bloated, red face was poked through tin
der the canvass, and its pair of watery
eves were fastened greedily upon the
bucket. Betsy fixed her keen little eyes
on the intruder, stopped swaying to and
fro, and waited patiently to se what he
would do.
He did not n dice her. The fascination
ol the whisky blinded him to everything
else. The bucket was beyond his reach.
He drew himself nnder the tent until lie
could clutch it. The instant that he did
so, Betsy flung hei powerful trunk about
his waist, aad whirled him high in the
air.
She did not mean him any harm, but
he was taint-erinj with her medicine and
s'.ie would not stand that. So he had of Naples, by a search made for the d:s
barely time to give one wild shriek ot t covtry of Roman antiquities, and rj
terror, when she tossed him thirty feet i mainsd there until it was fonnd bv the
away, w here he struck against one of the
ponderous wheels of a lion eag", and fell
to the earth with one leg broken, and
three fractured ribs. She did not attempt
to follow and hurt him, for she had no
n;aUce. He was carried away on a stretch
er to the hospital.
The rest of the story is a pathetic ro
mance. The wretched man's recovery
was so slow that fifteen weeks passed be
fore be could walk on crutches; but in
that long time the thosnngh hospital
treatment hud cleansed all the liquor out
of him, and he had begun to look some
thing like his former e!f.
One day, when a party of ladies visited
the hospital, distributing flowers and
reading matter to the patients, one of
them, a hindsome but sad faced young
woman, slopped by his chair, and gazed
at him as if strangely startled.
" Father," she said, "you don't remem
ber me. I am your daughter Mary."
It was twelve years since she had seen
him, but she knew him.
She had him conveyed to her home as
soon as possible when1, in time he was
restored to health, f mnd good employ
ment, and began a n?w li:e of sobriety
and industry, which continued to the
last.
His adventure with the elephant, so
nearly fatal to him, proved the means of
his entire reformation.

She Knew the Furniture.
There is a good May-moving story
which has just gained publicity regard
ing some nther prominent furniture
dealers in Chicago. The firm alluded to
had a Terr elegant parlor set of solid ma-
. " , ., . . , .
boganv and the finest upholstering. It
also had duplicates ;n veneering woo 1
and cheap plush in tiie store-room. Tiie
costly outfit, which was worth about . )J,
was displayed in the win-low and m irk
ed: "This elegant parlor suit only ?JT."
Oue day a mi! 1, meek-looking woman
came in. examined the furniture and in
vested. She took a receipt for ber m n
ey, left her address and was bowed out
by the smiling salesman, who assured
her that "the things woald lie sent right
over." In due time the wagon arrived at
the young woman's house and backed up
in front of the door.
"Hold on," said the purchaser, "Oon't
unload yet."
Then she climbed on the van and made
a very particulareaminalion of the load.
At last she said to the' driver and his as
sistant: "I'll go back with you to the
store. These are not the goods I purchas
ed. And back she did go, despite en
treaties, protests and assurances
that
"everything was all right." When she j
walked in she was not the mild manner- j
ed creature of two hours before. j
"You've tried to swindle me," she !
cried, "I bought one set of furniture ami
yoa sent me another. Now, I want what
I paid for. How do I know? Because
in every article of that set yon sold me I t
stuck a pin in while yoa were not lojk
ing. Now, I am going to pick out my
property and see that yHi take it over.
If yoa don't there'll be trouble."

kept in the chapel o( Caserta. The Car

that the plate might be kept by lbe:u,

His Words Live.
Nearly two thousand years ago a little
man contempt-ble in appe iranoes, nam
ed raul, was driven by a guard of sol
diers back, to bis ceil in one of the great
prisms of R me. He belonged to a p.sir
and despised sect, and because of his
faith, had been scourged and tortured
that day before Nero. When he hu!d
go out from his ceil again the torture
would end in death. He had f..nght the
fight, he had finished the course, he had
kept the faith. He thought that he had
found a secret for which men of ail na-
! tions had searched since the world l-
gan. It waaa word of life the hope, the
promise, beyond the grave. But if he
had found it, the world about him appa
rently did not care. His li;-sh quivered
as sorely under the thongs of Nero's lic
birs, the stones of his prison were as gray
and hard, the blue gnus fl iirer ia his
path s uiting as brightly in the sun as

How a Little Boy Camped Out
One there waaa little boy who all sum
mer long had been very anxious to camp
out over night. Behind his mother's
house was a large garden as large as a
whole city block
and at the far eud of it
j was a liitie kun-li, or hill, with mckscrop-
t y,ia out. It was behind this bill that
li tle Paul w ished to camp, fur from there
ti e hou.se would b- out of sight, and it
wuld le "i list liketrulv camping." So
h.s mother gave htuiA lare old crumb
j cloth for a tent , a pair of blankets and a I
soft cushion for a bed ; a tin pail full of i
b-e.jd.cold meat, aud hard boiled egift, J
j and some ginger bread and apples for his ;
b-eakf tst ; also a bottle of mil k, a tip. cup, :
a wooden plate, ami a small package of ;
pepper and salt. She then gave hiiu some :
cotton to put in his ears to keep out lit-
tie bugs ami things. She bad the hired
' man help hiin drive the stakes and fasten i
I the crumb cloth over them. Tne hired !
! loan, f his own accord, brought from the
born a larg- bundle of hay to spread tin- ;
j tier the blankets, so as to make a comfort- '
I able, bed. By twilight everything was
j ready, and Paul kissed his mother, his ;
i aunt, and his big sister good bye. and,!
SiioiiMering his cross bow, marched away i
; t the "Ricky Mountains" as be called
j t:ie little knoii. '
He pinned back the doors of bis teat.
! with big catch pins, an.l then sat down '
' ou the graund. Everything wa dread-
j f lliy stilt; butt.ie bright tin pail and the ;
I Isittleof milk looked very comfortable in
the soap box cupboard : the brave cross
lo, with its pin pointed arrows promis
ed safetv; w hile the blankets, sofa eush-
i ion, and the soft hay were alt that any
i reasonable camper co.il.l ask for.
But it was so dreadful still! Not even
! the smallest baby breeze was stirring; J
! through a hole in the crumb cloth shone ;
u star, and the stair made outdoors seem
I stiller yet. Paul unlmtu.ned one shoe!
and then the other, and sat for a while I
', listening. Then sud.Unly kicking off his
shoes, he scrambled under tiie blankets
i :inl lay quite sti'l. !! was a tery mull :
! v, and somehow camping out wasn't '
delightful in every way. j
It was nearly half-past eight. M mi ma !
was knitting, the aunt w as sowing, and j
the big sister was .st indingon the diction
nry, rehearsing ber elocution exercise j
Noboly b it mimun hirl the bar hill ;
door softly o;"n, and the tiny feet go !
stealing u;Htair. When the elocution I
exercise was over, m imm i sii 1 she must j
go and find the mate to the stocking she
was knitting.
S she went tin Ujxtairs; hut, before '
I ...king for the sto king, she went into ',
Paul's room. There, in the starl ght, shu !
.v t ie brown curly head c 1 1 lie 1 int 1
its customary pillows- She was a goo 1 i
and faithful mamma, and so she did not
laugh out load. She sbxqied over the
half-hidden head and whispered, "Were
you lonesome, dear?" and Paul answer
ed, "Kind of lonesome and I bean
something j.r't'.'ofirij', very clisie to my
head. And so I cam- in. And ysi
won t tell, w. II you mamma. j
Faithful mauima didn't tell," not until
long afterward when Paul had grown to!
be so old and so big that he went "truly J

Locusts Eaten In Algiers.
It is an ancient and sacred custom of
the natives to cat these in-c-'s. Tradition i
has it that at the firstapisarar.ee of the!
locusts Mohammed instructed his disci- j
pies not to destroy them. I'.ct one day
the great prophet noticed on the wings j
of one of these insets an inscription in j
Hebrew characters saying : "We are .
liers of tiod : ae lay ninety-nine egg-. I
Whenever we shall lay one hundred the ;
universe will have been devoured by ns." i
Ilorritied at this sacrilege the prophet ;
straightway interviewed the Lord and re
ceived the order that as a punishment of
tiie Ucuststhe faithful should kill and eat i
them. That the natives highiy relish
Ihe dish appears from the saving: "Next
to the "late the ks-usts is the sweetest ,
morsel." The Koran prohibits the flesh j
of animals not born, but the Mohamme- j

waiting for dinner : one slept curled u;
in t heap near the wail : another at f.at

two lay strerched across the opp"i;e en 1
of the lodge. The children ?.oe-l a re
markable capacity for slowing theraseive
away in grotesque shapes ia noon and
corner, wher.ee they tard at ma with
bl. k, bead-like eye as exprewionUiut ts
those of animals. Meanwhile th people
kept up a general conversation in "io-ir
own tongue : their voices were !... ev-n
in laughter, and expressive of a kind aril
considerate nature. You notice a g-sl
deal of abruptness in their t.i! ; but this
is line to their lang'iage. in which y.-o
hear many inarticulate grunts, .!-... r.
brusque inflection v and long, disjointed,
iininelodioiis words. But when they tai
French, which niort of the n nn-ierstan !,
their speech is quite agreeable. I tried
in many Ways to engH;- the opaws ia
conversation in this tongie. but they
turned to me a deaf ear, or e'-e their hus

advise the tribe to have b it hf.'e inter

How do they compass such perfection
with so little expense? Simply they
study themselve and their requirement.
They know ju-t wh it ttiey ru-e-l -just
