Don't worry, Doria." laid Mr. Gille pie, putting another ai ice of boiled mut ton on the dress maker's plate, " 1-ay it by till tomorrow, and begin Sarah Jane's school gingham." "Well, if yon dont care," aaid Poris, with a look of relief, "it would be a ?reat lilt off uiy mind," and ahe ate threw liecea of the mnt toil in her intense aatis f rftin. "Did yoo know that Klen iKwlittle waa hick?" a.ked Mrs. tiillespie, after diiitier, as she plied her basting -needle.

They aay he's threatened with a fever. No wonder. Living alone, and doing hi own cookine and farming, when any man in his senses .would have hired a J housekeeper long ago, or got married, which would have been better still. He's worrying about tome payments that he can't meet, and, take it altogether, I shouldn't wonder if he waa pretty bad off. Would yoa have this gingham waist ahirred at the top, or laid in pleats all the way down. Doris?" The little dresa-maker's heart was thumping so that she thought her com panion must hear it. Hut the placid face opposite waa absorbed in the "pleatings" and "shirrings." " It's all Bhirrings," thought poor Doris. 8 All puckered up clone and tight, and somebody's got to cut the gathering threads before things w ill come out at all straight." (The dress-maker and then Doolittle had once lieen much more than friends, but Cite liad undertaken to do some aliir- ritijr, and, as usual, there was nobody at hand lor to cut the garnering tli reads.") Doris answered Mrs. Gillespie to the best of her ability, and started the ma chine again. When night came she rolled np her scissors, thimble ami tape-measure, and donued her wraps, despite the invitation of Mrs. Gillespie to remain until nest lay. She wanted to be alone where she could think, and the society of Sarah Jane, who would have been her bed fellow, waa not conducive to contempla tion. On ber way home she passed a low brown honse standing back from the road a house dark and silent, but which quickened her pulses by its mere out lines. - ' " " I wonder if the poor soul id there all alone," thought Doris. "Any ntAerneigh- bor could run in and see after him in a friendly way, but that's oat of the ques tion for ME." When the reached home she roused her fire out of its all-day sluggishness, and wit down before it w ithout lighting a lamp. ShecoulJ think better ia the dark. " I wonder when those payment must lie made." she said to herself." it's the first of March now." ' 1 Suddenly tw-foSd idea horsed in through lorui IlUbnra brain like a Fourth -of-July " pin-wheel, and her plaintive little ttce grew hot and rosy in the dim, fire-lighted room. " If I only dirt,n she said, half breath lessly, then, with gathering boldness, " Why not? No one will ever find it out. and Eben will not dream of my doing such a thing. It will tide him over, and then he will pick op and get well in no time. It may be only the drop in the bucket, or it may be the full gallon, but I'll rtik it, whichever it is." Ileasant dreams turned her" humble pillows into cushions of down that night. and draped her bare walla with the cloth of gold which too often, alas ! must turn to hodden gray with the first touch of day. Ilut I Viritt's cloth of gold kept tlteg'im- mer of its threads through alt the next day. At noon she spent a shorter time than usual over her dinner, and said she must do an errand. She harried along the quiet village streets to the business quarter, and w hen she met a group of gleeful children oa their war to school, she pressed her hand over a little bank book in her murT, and wasted to skip and ran as they did. The ollicial who waited on her waa ev idently a little sorprised at tlie nature of ber errand. " He needn't stare to. I hare a right to do what I please with my own," she thought, a trirle indignantly, yet with a certain shame-Ctced feeling that ahe was doing something wofully on business-like and " unpractical-" " I don't care. Lf I starve I will starve. I will have my comfort out of this, any way," she said. Her eyes were so bright and her cheeks onier SOMERSET, PA., so rosy that Mr. Gillespie viewed her through her sievUcka in utmost sur prise. "I declare, Djris, if you weren't so sensible and so settie! in yxtr way, I slusild think yo had ben hvin an of fer and accepting it. too. Yon look as yHi;jg and 1iandtne as the best of them." D wis laughed, slipped off her hat and sack, and collapsed into the little sewing chair, aad in three minutes was appar ently absorbed ia Sarah Jiue's " bias ban. Is " and skirt ru!!les. " Don't make it too scant, Doris," said her companion. " Skitupiuess don't pay when you're making up gingliaui.' "Nor when you're giving a present," sai l Doris to herself, with a sudden thrill of joy. The short March day came to an end. Sarah Jane's gingham was finished and hong over the back of a chair, ready for its owner to carry up stairs sit lietl time. The troublesome overskirt had come right at last, and was a triumph, of balloon-like, billowy folds. "You'll save a day for me in April, Doris, to fix over my black Henrietta cloth T' said Mrs. Gillespie, interrogative ly. Doris nodded gaily. She was in a moo I to promise anything. " Here, Doris, you might just as well take a couple of these mince turnovers with you. They'!! keep nice till Sun day." IKris thanked her, and stepped out into the cold, cloudy night She passed slowly by the old brown house which had attracted her attention ttie evening be fore. " I wonder if it is dark enough yet," she said, as she lingered in the aluulow of an old elm that at:jodche by the side walk. The house seemed gloomy and silent, as on the preceding night. " It won't get any darker if I jrait till midnight, because the moon will be np soon. I must do it now, or never." Tle3 mysterious words implied no scheme of burglary or arson, though the dress-maker's actions verged on '' break ing and entering." She glided to the door and noiselessly tried it. AVith the usual " depravity of inani mate objects," it gave a t peat-herons a,iieuk as orw turned the knob, and hhe fled precipit-t'ely, hut not nntil she hud drop ped far inside the hallway a sir.ail, f.it, white envelope, superscribed to " Kls'n Doolittle, From a Friend and Urother." Luckily no one was purring on that qniet street, and when Doris was far enough from the brown house s'ae re sumed her ordinary gait. Though walk ing with outward calmness there waa a turmoil nnder her brown cloth jacket. She felt like one who has burned his ship behind him and for what ? To gratity a sentimental fancy, and to prepare for herself still longer years of toil and self-denial Yet how she exul ted in the thought. "He will get upon his feet agiin and prosper and he will owe it all to meand never know." Two weeks later, Tljedville was set agog by the news that F.ben Djolittle, af ter a rapid recovery, had settled up his debts and gone west to make investments which promised to be very profitable. " Must ha' hed a legacy or souiethin'," said one old crone to another. " Borried from Peter to pay Paul, mos' likely," was the answer. The day after then left R dville, Dir is Hi'.burn'a right arm became helpless from rheumatism. She did np her bit of honse work, but cutting and sewing were oat of the question. Then Doris, with a rather grim smile. sat down before her kitchen tire with a bit of a memorandum-book on her knee, and a pencil in her left hand. Slowly and clumsily she jotted down some items, and gazed at them stonily. " One-fourth of a sack of flour enough for the bakings, if I can manage to work dough with one hand. " Two quarts of beans, half a paper of oatmeal, and ten pint milk tickets. " Six quarts of potatoes, a 'stump of dried beef, a sugar-bowl nearly full, four or five'drawings' of tea. " One barrel of coal (enough to last ten davsi and old shingles enough in the back yard to keep me from freezing when the coal's gone. " No rent to pay, and sixty-two cents coming to uie from Ann Finney. " Not such a desperate allow ing after all. May be toy arm w ill be well before every scrap ia eaten." Then she laughed nntil the tears came. " Everybody w ill say, now lucky that Doris has money in the savings bank. She t an live on the interest while she is disabled.' " In point of fact, that is substantially what everrbodv did ear : and Doris smiled her little grim smile, and inras ared her potatoes and flour for each day, and doled oat her coal so much for the morning, so much for night and was ready, for very joy. to clap her hands, if one had not been helpless. Eben Doolit tle, prosperous, hod almost passed ont of her life excert as a rairue, somewhat pensive memory Eben Doolittle, sick, forlorn and in debt, called back all the old affection, added to a maternal pity and yearning. And, day by day, the potatoes dwin died and the flour grew less, while the crippled band became no better. At last the final morse 1 of food had disappeared, and Dorai scraped the coal barrel with her left Land. "I have the shingles to Call back on, she said. " It's lock I dried a good pile of them in the oven while the coal C re lasted. The day oiler she had eaten her last sarin r of oatmeal she did not feel so brUk and so independent of physical limitations- If "ont of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketb," it is no less true that "ont of the etnptinras of the stomach the thought nttereth itself." " I know I've been what people call ' a born fool, but said I wonld take the risk. If I die, F.ben will neTer know why. He will come and drop a tew tears on my grave, likely, and reniin'l himself of the pleasant walks and talks we used te have before the trouble came between na. And how the neighbors will exclaim and conjecture when they find I have withdraws my bank deposit. They will search every hole and corner in the boose for my 'bidden cash,' and so i ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, finally bury me at town expense, Well, I sljill never know st4 Kut Doris did not die. She lived a day and a half w ithont !, because she was too proud to nuv in to any of her neighbors' houses in aociabie w ay for a rap of tea. I Toward the end of the second day, Mrs. Gillepie ojieneil the kitchen door, and found !vria weak and shivering in her little bedroom, derating within her self whether she shonhl make a friendly v isit to Ann Fiuuey, htr next neighbor, where she would be sure of a hearty wel come, warmth and supper. " Why, Ioris Ililburu, your fire is as dead as Julius Caesar, aad you look as if you were going to have, a fever. What ever in this world possesses yoo to keep so at home ? I meant to send Sarah Jane down to ask you to spend to-morrow with os, then, on seconil thoughts, con cluded to come myself. Doris smiled a faint smile of welcome and rose feebly to start a fire with the next day's share of shingles. " I am not (juito so chipper to-day," she said, drawing forth Lor little rocking chair for her caller. ""Guets I shall be ail li'ht to-mor ' j She didn't finish the word, but stag gered and fell forward Juto Mrs. Gilles pie's arms, i The good lady put ber back to bed, pursued the usual con rue in cases of fainting, and said : "Now lie still, Doris, and I'll light the tire toi you." The dress-maker murmured something almost unintelligible about " ordering coal .wm"; she meant to be strictly truthful. But Mrs. Gillespie was already out in the kitchen, lifting the stove lids, and with her suspicions at last aroused. "There is some mystery here," she confided to the poker, a she cleaned out a few wood ashes. "Doris looks pinched with hunger, and that fainting was a bad piece of business." S"he took an old friend's privilege of si-ftiy opening the buttery .door and glan cing along the shelves. " Not a crumb of anything to eat that a baby fly could make a meal on. I (oris is either out of her mind and growing miserly, or else ahe has put her savings into some huuibtig concern tlutt doesn't pay any divitlends except to the men that run it." She lighted the fire, then stepped to the bed-room door ugain. " iori., why can't yon pnt yonr night gown into your little satchel bag and come right biick with me to-night Sa rah Jane thinks some of pulling molasses candy after supper, and may lie the Simp son girls w ill be over. You used to be more sociable." She smiled kindly, and patted her on the shoulder. " What a godsend '." thought Doris, notdreaining that herjuid friend suspect ed the truth. It was a heavenly change when, after lettiDg the light wood-fire'Uie down and fastening the doors securely, Doris, with her satchel bag " on her left arm, ac couipaniifd her friend to the home over flowing with plenty. The merriment after supper was at its height when some one knocked at the side-door. "Etjen Doolittle' Come in, and wel come home again," said Mrs. Gillespie. Kben's handsome fat brightened as he put out his hand to Doris, after greet ing Uie others. "I called at your house,Miss Hil IHjr- ts, to 4eak abjut a little business mat ter, he said, giving her a penetrating look which made her heart whirl likean infant cvclone. " I guessed that you were here, and I earnestly beg that yon will grant me an interview of five min utes in the course of the evening." lie dropped her hand, and, to relieve her uonfusion, began to joke with Sarah Jane and the Simpson girls, who ail in sisted on his "pulling" skein of theyel- low candy, on penalty ol not getting any. Djris wag in danger of fainting for the second time that day, but fate was mer ciful. The opportunity came at last, and af ter taffy, pop-corn, names and riddles, she and Eoeu were alone for a moment in Mrs. Gillespie's sitting-room, while that lady and Sarah Jane were exchang ing good nights with the Simpson girls at the door. " I suppose I am very nngallant not to escort those young women to their pa ternal mansion, but I can't help it Dor is, do you think I didn't know who put that blessed money it my hall that night ? I fur you, lioris, from Uie shad ow of the window, where I was standing ioiielv, and weak and dispirited I saw you tlear," he stood r!se to her and saw her trembling with the sudden surprise, "and I blessed you as the drowning sail or blesses theroiie that is thrown to him over the ship's side. When I picked up that envelope aud examined it contents, I understood the whole story, and I knew that yon coal 1 not be wholly in different to me" and he trembled more and more " anil I took that money, vow r j ine that I would make it increase an mnltiply for us both.

His writ ings are as happy as his name, and a'.ioond in that practical philosophy known as common Sense. I have always recommended the coming man to read Smiles, and it is oot of the wisdom of Smiles that f write this essay. Thrift of time is eiial to the thrift of money. Franklin said, "Time is gold." If one wishes to earn money, it may le done by the proper use of time. Ilut time may also be spent in doing many good and noble actions. It may be spent in learning, in study, in art, in science, in literature. Time can be economized by system. System is an arrangement to se cure certain ends, so that no time mar be lost in accomplishing them. Every business man must be systematic and or derly; so must every housewife. There must be a place for everything and ev erything in its place. Tiiere itiiut also be a time for everything, and everything must be done in time. It is not necessary to show that econo my is useful. Nobody denies that thrift may be practiced. We see numerous ex amples of it What many men have al ready done, all other men may do. Nor is thrift a painful virtue. On the contra ry, it enables as to avoid much contempt and many indignities. It requires us to deny ourselves, but not to abstain from any proper enjoyment. It provides many honest pleasures of whk:! thrLftlessuess and extravagance deprive us. Coniparatirely few people can be rich ; bat most have it in their power to acquire by industry and economy, sufficient to meet their personal wants. They may even become the possessors of savings sufficient to secure them agiinst penury and poverty in their old ag. It is not, however, the want of opportunity, but the want of will, that stands in the way of economy. Men may labor unceasing ly with hand or head ; but they cannot abstain from spending too freely and liv ing too highly. The majority prefer the enjoyment of pleasure to tlie pra..ice of self-denial. With the mass of men the animal is par amount. They often gpen ! all that they earn. Itut it is not merely the working gieople who are spendthrifts. We hear of men who for years have been earning and Sending thousand a year, who sud denly die, leaving their children penni less. Every lasly kno4S of such cises. At their death the very furniture of tile house they have lived in belongs to oth ers. It is sold to pay their funeral ex penses and the debts which they have incurred during their thriftless lifetime. Money represents a multitude of ob jects without value, or without real util ity; but it also represents something much more precious, and that is inde pendence. In this light it ia of great moral importance. As men become wise and thoughtful, they generally become provident and frugal. A thoughtless man, like a savage, spendsashe gets, thinking nothing of to morrow, of the time of adversity, or of the claims of those he has made depend ent upon him. But a wise man thinks of tke future ; he prepares in good time for the evil day that may come upon him and his family ; and he provides careful ly for thuse who are near and dear to him. The habit of saving arises, for the most part, in tlie desire to ameliorate our so cial condition, as well as to ameliorate tlie condition of those who are depend ent upon us. It dispenses with every thing whtch is not essenti ii, and avoids all methods of living that are wasteful and extravagant A ptircha.-e made at the lowest price will be dear, if it be a superfluity. Little expenses lead to great. Buying tilings that are not wanted soon accusto us us to prodigality in other things. Cicero said, "i"t to have a mania fpr buying is to jewejia a revenue.'' Many are carried away by the habit of bargain, buying. "Here ia something wonderfully cheap ; let us bay it" "Have yoo any use for it?" "No, not at present, buf it is sure to come in useful some time." Fashion runs in this habit of baying. Some buy old china, as much as will fur nish a china-shop. Others buy old pict ures old furniture old wines all great bargains ! There would be little harm in buying these old things, if they were not so often bought at the expense of the connoisenr's creditors. Horace Walpole once said ; "1 hope that there will not be another sale, for I have uot an inch of room nor a farthing left" Socrates recommends fathers of fami lies to obnerve the practice of their thrif ty neighbors of those who rpend their means to the best advantate and to protj,t by their example. Thrift U essen tially practical, aud tau bet U) taught by facta. Samuel Johnson hilly knew the straits of poverty. He once signed his name Iiupransus, or Dinnerless. lie had wa'k- j ed the streets with Savage, not knowing f where to lay his head at night Johu.-nn never forgot the poverty through which he passed in his early life, and he was al ways consulting his friends and readers to avoid it Like Cicero, he answerd that the best source of wealth or well-being was economy. He called it the daughter of Prudence, the sister of Temperance, and the mother of Liberty. "Poverty," he said, "takes away so many means of doing good, and produc es so much inability to resist evil, both natural and moral, that it is by all virtu ous means to be avoided. IUrsolve,then, not to be poor; whatever you have, spend le. Frugality is not only Uie basis of quiet, but of beneficence. No man can help others who wants to help himself; we most have enough before we have to spare." And again lie said : "Poverty is a re enemy to hnman happiness. It certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some vir tues impracticable, and otliers extremely difficult All to whom want ia terrible, npon whatever principle, ought to think themselves obliged to learn the sage maxima of onr parsimonious ances. tore, and attain the salutary arts of con tracting expense ; for without economy none can be rich, and with it few can be poor." When economy is looked npon as a thing that must be practiced, it will nev er be felt as a burden; and those who have not before observed it, will be as tonished to find what a few pence or ehiT.irsgs laid aside weekly will do toward JL. JL J Jl Oj securing moral elevation, menial culture, and personal indepenilence, Rome will say "it can't be done." But everybody can do something. "It can't"' is the ruin of men and of nations. In fact, there is no greater rant than cun'f. To do jnstice, a man must think well not only of ttimflelf, Imt of the duties which he owes to others. He mnst not aim too low, but regard man as created little lower than the angels." Let him think of his high destiny of the eternal interests in which he has a psrt of the great scheme of nature and providen , , - . v-ii i of the intellect with wbicn he has been endowed of the power -, , , of love conferred upon him ot the home on earth provid ed for him ; and he will cea to think meanly of himself. The poorest human being is the center of the eternities, the Creator overshadowing all. Hence, let every man respect himself his body, his mind, his character. Self respect, originating in self-love, instigites the first step of improvement. It stimu lates a man to rise, to look upward, to de velop his intelligence, to improve his condition. Self-r-spect ia the root of most of the virtues of cleanliness, chas tity, reverence, honesty, sobriety. To think meanly of one's self is to sink sometimes to descend a precipice, at the bottomof which is infamy. Every man can help himself to some extent. We are not mere straws thrown upon the current to mark its course ; but pueisescied of freedom of action, endowed with power to stem the waves and rue above them, each making out a course for himself. We can each elevate our selves in the moral of moral being. We can cherish pore thoughts. We can per form good actions. We can live soberly and frugally. We can provide against the evil day. We can read go.nl books, listen to wise teachers, and place ourselves under the divineet influences on earth. We can live for the highest purposes, and with the highest aims in view. "Self-love and rocial are the same," says one of our poets. The man who im proves himself improves the world. He adds one more true man to the mass. And the mass being made np of individ uals, it is clear that were each to improve himself, the result would be the improve ment of the whole. Social advancement is the ponsf-quoneeof individual advam-e-ment The whole cannot le pure, unless the individuals composing it are pure. Society at large is but the reflex of indi vidual conditions. All this is but the repetition of a truism, but truisms have often to be repeated to make their full impression. The uncertainty of life is a strong in ducement to provide sgainst the evil day. To do this is a moral and social as well as a religious duty. "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath den'ed the faith, and ia worse than an infidel." Thrift is not ia any way connected with avarice, usury, jrned, or eelfisliness. It is, in fact the very reverse of these dis gusting dispositions. It uie ins economy for the purpose of securing independence. Thrift requires that money should lie used and not abused that it should lie honenlly earned and economically em ployed. "Not for to put it in a hedg, Not for a train attendant But f r the glorious privilejre Of being independent." OnCfil nv,i. Shoeing Horses. One of the greatest difficulties the man who knows how his liorse should be shod and tries to have it done properly has to contend with is the inborn tendency of horstshoers to cut awsy the frog ami other soft parts of the foot The smith seems to feel that there is a certain amount of cutting to be done, and he is going to do it wherg it CIS be dune the easiest. The toucher toe is rarely cut away too much, and very often not enough. The frog ia the life of the whole foot, and no horse can travel safely and comfortably w ithout the use ot it It is the natural, elastic rapport fur the bony puru abve it, and is Intended to Break the concus sion when the hone puts its foot npon the ground. Instead of shoeing la a way to favor this Use of the frog, many far riers will cut it half away, and tell you that it is necessary or the horse will bruise his foot, and become injured or disabled. In point of fact, however, four-fifths of our horses become more or less disabled on account of being de prived of opportunities to bruise or ham mer their frogs enough to keep np their natural functions. The frog ir the only part of the hoof which couiumnicales with the nervous system, and throog.li it with the brain, to enable the hoaw tu de termine what hid foothold ia upon the ground, wonder the shod horse stumbles. In ordinary shoeing the thick ness of the shoe lifts the heel otf the ground and deprives the frig of needed pressure. If then the frog ia reduced by cutting, tlie mischief is made so m ch the worse. Cutting the frog also causes it to shrivel, unfit it for bearing weight and contraction is certain to follow. In w" liter it is diflicuit to avoid the use of calks, unless, one drives or w or kit his horse barefooted, which may be safely done unless the road are very icy or the loads very heavy ; but in summer nine tenths of the horses osei on fam, or driven on the country ronds, might wear tips with great advantage. The writer has ridden and driven many miles over rough mountain roads, horses so shod, and has yet to see anything but benefit from the practice. As soon as shoes are taken otf and the heels let down on the ground, the hoof begins to expand and the frog to develop, and it soon gets back to its normal shape again. The edge of a bare foot will break away and beeutse tender, but we bare never known in practice a healthy frog to be injured by bruising. If horses mnst be sfiod, by all means encourage the growth of the frog in every possible way anil get as muck pressure on it as yoa can. Don't even allow the ragged edges to be trimmed off. IrVr-jUjr i'w, Distress after eating, Iturtbara, sick headache, and indigestion, are cured by Hood's Iraraa par ilia. It also creates a good appetite. About one-half the discomfort of this life is the result of getting tired of our selves. Some one should preach a sermon on the bad taste of pursuing good taste too exclusively. 1 UI o WHOLE XO. 1083. It Might Happen Again. There was told in my hearingtlie other day a tale which carries with it a moral.

He, however slipped into bis dressing-room to remain UUtil the maid should do w 'mtever was necessary in his chamber, aud Ukin j a book he sat down to read while he was waiting. He always carried with him a diamond ring, which had been his moth er's, which he sometimes hail in his p-x kef. This he had left with his wa:ch on the stand by the head of his bed. He sat reading for some time, and eten after he h.Pard the maid go out he kept on with his book. Suddenly he heard a slight noise in his chamlier, and, folding his dreeing c-wn about him, he opened the door and looked in. The chaiu'.ier was apparently empty, but his eye was caught by a cord which seemed to ex tend from the open window towani t:ie bed. (toing forward to examine this, 'ie perceived a monkey, till then hidden from sight by the bed, that, with Ins diamond ring in his clutches, was mak ing oifl The owner of the ring shouted and ran forward, when the thievish ar.i mal dropped its prey and skurried out of the window as fast as its skinny little legs would carry it, and, picking up the jewel to as -ii re himself that it was alt right, the gentleman reached the window iu time to see an organ griuder makirg off with the monkey on his shoulder. There was no doubt that he had trained the bettst to climb into w iudowsand stetd any valuable upon which he could lay hands, and the incident may serve as a warning to those who allow onran mon keys to scramble at will over their cham ber blinds and windows. But the imprest ve aspect of t';e stor--, if one considers, is the position in whic i the chambermaid would have been pet had the owner of the ring appeared on the scene but a moment later. The gH was new in the house, there had no one but herself entered the room, the ring would have b.n missed almost immedi ately, and the circumstantial evidence would have been overwhelmingly againrt her. As it was she never knew how great a peril she had escited ; but the man who tells tLo story declares that he shall never be able to believe in circum stantial evidt-aca again.

Mar- Speaking of valuable furniture," said ex-Governor John I'nderwooa, of Ken- i ttn ky, one day lately. " I place a higher value on the leg-t of the table from which I ate my find dinner after I was married than the Vanderbiits do upon all the furniture they own." The assertion was taken with a grain of allowance. ' "How is that. Governor?" asked one of the company, "Why, it W this way," and a merry twinkle appeared in his eye. "When I was married it was a sort of mnawij match. I was a poor, young civil engin eer, and not a desirable catch. I had a suit-of rooms, partially furnished, and these we reached in the forenoon. My wiie wasn't hungry, and did not want U go out for dinuer. So I hustled aronnd an ! got a loaf of bread and a pail of milk. There wasn't a table or desk it the room.

The desire for this name mode of susten ance is often continued into after year, as if the resort to flesh were a forced and artificial feeding, which repaired It rg and persistent habit to establish as a pertiianencr, as a part of the system of j everyday life. How strongly this preference taste for the delicious fruit for full mastication; there is no such desire, except in the trained gourmand, for the retention of anirual substance. ( ne further fact which I have observ ed and that too oft n to discard it as j of great moment, is that when a ' Person of mature years has, for a time. j given up voluntarily the use ol an.mai i food in favor of Vegetal the sense of repugnance to animal food is smn so markedly developed that a return to it is overcome w ith the utmost difliculty. Neither ia this a mere fancy or fad pecu liar to sensitive men or over-sentimental women. I have been surprised to see It manifested in men who are the very re verse of sentimental, and who were, in fact, quite ashamed to admit themselves guilt of any such weakness. I have heard those who have gone over from a mixed diet of animal and vegetable food to a pure vegetable diet speak of feeling low under the new system, snd declare tluit they mnst needs give it up in con sequence, but I have found even these) (without exception) declare that they in finitely preferred the simpler, purer, and, as it seemed to them, more natural food plucked from the piime source of fo!. untainted by its passage through anoth er animal body. "Yes, Dear." He was so small and frail the chilly March wind seemed to blow him alioiit like a wisp of paper. His pint bed fat e was blue with cold when; the dirtal lowed the skin to he seen, and his bauds were pnhed far down into two holes, which he doubtless railed pockets, in his trous ers. Little streamers of rags blew out from his tattered clothes, givimr him a fringed apearanfe, and as he drifted un certainly along he occasionally raised a shrill, babyish voice in an attempt to sell a soiled paper w hich he held under his arm. Presently he met a sweet-faced, moth erly woman, and, holding out his crum pled stock, he said sturdily : Buy a paper, ma'am The old lady looked at him.
