RETRIBUTIONS. MY ASXA SHEiUA. Tser.i v years cgJ an J a Vermont coun ty seat. It was a Jreary Ixwemner Jar, cold and cloudy, though not actually ftonulng, and the large fancy-goods store of Hopkins it Co., was almost deserted by customers, when an old lady w rapped in rich furs, entered. A moment later a young girl, poorly clad, but with a sweet, gad fi and carrying a large bundle, fol lowed her, and passing to the rear of the glore k'ft her parcel, returning to the front counter to wait patiently to epeak t the eiieswonian who was attending to the old lady. The customer, after selecting some kcittine jroods, said : I should like to see the person w ho kniu thes hoods and pive her an order." -I am sorry, Mrs. Kirterson, but it is eainst the rules of the store. All orders inast ;be left with us; bat I can aseure you the mot minute directives will I carefully delivered." -That will not do," was the decided answer. "I want to see the woman." -Very sorry," the girl replied, "but I do not dare to Lreak the rules." Mt. Emerson paid for her goods, not r-oti.-inj that the girl who had been close Wide her had left the store. She was bopping into her carriage when the same j;;r! spoke to her. ' I beg pardon," she said, a faint blush coloring her pale cheeks, -but I overheard wi;at you said in the store. I have not promised to keep any of the roles made for the saleswomen, and I need the order yoa mentioned so much I ventured to follow you." 'Oh ! You knitted the hood ?" "Yea. I knit a great many articles for H-pk:ns & Co." Must 6tep into the carriage for a few moments. Irive slowly Jaiius," said Mrs. l'.uierson, aiding, when she bad drawn the fur robes over her new com panion : "The reason I could not leave my order is easily explained I am, as you see, an old lady nearly seventy, and I cannot use n.y eyes much for sewing or r-ading, but I a:n very fond of knitting. Most of my work goes to fairs or charity, so while it is an amusement to me, it is not wasted. I have bought goods sev eral times from Hopkins & Co. because there cr new stitches in tiieru, but I t"::d raveling them out dues not help ue to learn them. So w hat I wanted to ask you was whether you could teach them ti me. I will pay for your time, say a d llaran hour, and you could come each mornirg until I learn all the new ones you can show me." "And I know so many," the girl re plied, her color deepening with pleasure, "and most of them I invented myself, so they are really new. H me I learned from my old nurse, a Scotch woman, who knew a great many. "Then you can spare the time to teach me?" ' Oh, yes ; and," she said, frankly, "the money will I a great help to me, I cannot make a dollar in a day, much less an hour, knitting for stores. "I am quite anxious to begin," eaid Mrs. Emerson, w ith a pleasant little laugh. "Can you give me a lesson now ? -With pleasure," was the reply. The coachman, having received his orders, the carriage was driven to a hand some residence, where a few momenta later, Mrs. Emerson and her teacher were e;atd in a cosy sitting room, busy over needles and wool. Bat while Mrs. Emerson was appar ently absorbed in the lesson, she was really drawing from her young compan ion the simple story of her life. A widow living alone and in weak health Mrs. linersou had kept alive and active all the warmest sympathies of her heart. Most of her relatives, aU very near ones, excepting one nephew, were dead ; but, while feeling the loneliness this implies, he had made friends with the poor, the eick, the helpless till it only needed an ipresion of sorrow or want to arouse iier iaterest. The lirst sight of Alire Ward's sweet Iale face had awakened this interest, and before the first hour of the knitting lesson was over, Mrs. Emerson had re solved not tj lose sight of her young teacher. Her 6tory was a very simple one. The only child of a couutry clergy man, she had been carefully educated, s;wcially in music, to lit her for teach ing. Iler mother had died while she w as a mere child, and she had been her fath er i housekeeper, companion and pupil until his sudden death threw her friend less and penniless upon the world. Find ing it impossible to obtain scholars in the little country town, kite had sold the fur niture of her coUage and come to the city, to struggle, as so many struggle for bread. Fot two weeks Mrs. Emerson devoted two hours a day to studying new knitting fUtehes, and then she made a proposal that seemed to Alice like a foretaste of licarea. In learning knitting these two j one b early seventy years old, the other not yet twenty had learned to love I each other, eae ith the tender itj of prosperous old age for helpless youth, the other with a passion ite gratitude for ord acd loitsof kindness far outweigh ing the tuore snl stau'.ial benefits confer red, when Mrs. Luerson proposed to Alice to come to live with her as a companion, with a liberal salary, the girl c.id scarcely believe in her good fortune. And the life that followed fully realized her fondest hop.. It was not an i die life. ne read t" Mrs. Emerson, played for her all the choicest music, and taught uiudi tiiaX was new for her pleasure. She mrote her fcusiness letters, was her agent in her charitable duties, and found every boar tile4 with active Ujefainesa. And her i 4art, full of noble aspirations and wweet womanly sympathies, expanded in this genial, loving atmosphere, until Mrs. J".:nrrn' loive for her was warm and lender as a u.u'.her a. c-iie dreimed dreamy too, this young iearted old woman, id which herneph w, ttave'ing in Europe, returned to love this g-atie girl and bind her ntiil more clo-iy U l.er For, having but one av enue for iwvtherly love, Mrs. Emerson hail lavished is opon her sister's son w ho, -ed to her his education and a hand soaie income, already settled upon him. "I tinnot bear to toel that you are waiting for me to die, tnat you may be tadt-pecdrat." the old lady said nhen ehe settled a large sum upon hernephea . A year bad pa.- jj, a year of happine f.ir both, aioee lira, foiersoa had met Alii U'ard, and there was Kill between theut the etruugest love. Eat the old Iviy w not jet satisfied. I'niformly eheerfal, eit and loving, Alice could not entirely eoooeal from her eusploier and friend that there wa a shadow vpoa Iier life that even the preseat bppioeg tad not lifted. The conSdences tocg wiluheld came quite UDexpecleliy at dast. Alie . in her own room, adjoining 3Iri E i.er , busied with some letters, and did nit kaow she was not alone. Mr. E-nens-.ni, w boLaJ come in to ask me trifling question, saw her take from ter desk a pliotozrjph, an 1 as .he look ed at it tear roiled down her chee, io ii. with an impatient look of ern at iirr n akne, she sadden ly tore it tu ui and tlu-e it apoa the floor. Oce 1 piei, the face portrayed upon it, flutter ed to Mrs. Emerson's feet Her own face was very white aa the lifted It saying : -Who is this, Alice? Wby have you torn it?" "lie was a coward, a traitor l" the girl said quickly. -To too?" -Yes 1 Ob, I am sorry yon saw me, Mrs. Emerson. It is all over, long ago." But there was a choking sob in her voice as she spoke. "Tell me about it, dear. Terhaps it will take away some .f the heartache to speak of it." "It was before my father died. He came to Hopeville, and and, oh, Mrs. Emerson, he did make me believe be loved me ! I cannot see that I was un maidenly in any way ; but I loved him with my whole heart, when he bad triej to win it, in a thousand ways not before. His name waa Walter Hutch inwn." "I know you well enough - to be sure of that," was the gentle reply. -I thought he would speak to pa ; bat one day, w hen we were walking together, he told me he dared not ask me to be his wife, because he would offend Lis aunt, who was anxious te have him marry a rich, fashionable girl." -Oh ! He was fond then of his aunt ?" "I do not think so. He always spoke of ker money as far more important than herself. I think she fould not have been a very lovable person because once she had a very udden dangerous attack of illness that called him away for a week, and w hen he came back he seemed quite disappointed that she had not died. I remember, when I asked him how she was, he said : "Oh, confound her, 6he'll keep her money-bags to herself forever, I believe. I thought I was sure of them this time." "Was it this ogress of an aunt who pre vented bis making you his wife?" "Ho he aaid. And I don't think I wanted to marry him after I knew that he was not mauly enough to make his own fortune. But but I di.l love him T and the tears dropped again over the lost dream. "You were fortunate to lose him. He was, as you say, a coward and a traitor !" Never had Alice heard Mrs. Emerson's voice so stern, seen her eyes flash angri lv. It had been part of the old lady's castle-building to conceal from her young ;inyrge the very existence of her dearly loved nephew. She had put away his picture, had sent her letters to mail by her maid, had never mentioned bis name. She had believed if these two met, un prepared, they must love each other, and had omitted all mention of Alice in her letters, for the same reason that she kept her in ignorance of his existence. And now, where no shadow of doubt coull fall upon the story, she learned at what value this idolized ne hew held her love, what gratitude her lifelong indul gence had won. It hurt her pride too sorely for her to take Alice into her confidence ; but in many subsequent conversations, she drew from her more fully the story of the summer Walter Hutchinson had spent at Hopeville, the persistent wooing by which he had won a pure, innocent heart only to throw it aside. It might be that when Alice was older and her present secluded life was chang ed for one where she saw more of socie ty, her heart wonld find a resting-place in a more worthy love. But there had been but that one hero in her past, and the wound his want of faith and honor bad left was deep and lasting. Six months later, Walter Hutchinson was speeding across the Atlantic to take possession of the inheritance for which his sordid soul had most impatiently waited. A spendthrift, a gambler and utterly reckless, he had never made his handsome income meet his expenditures and his debts, incurred upon the expect ation cf his aunt's fortune being his own, were enoimous. He was too late for Mrs. Emerson's funeral, and the house was closed and empty. Peeking the lawyer who had for years managed his aunt's business, he curtly made inquiries about her estate. "Ah, yes," the lawyer said, "there was a will yes, the entire property was left to Mrs. Emerson's adopted daughter." "Wliat! She was crazy l" "Oh, not at all. The will was most carefully worded. Mrs. Emerson ex pressly slated that she had already set tled upon you a sufficient fortune." "But the woman the adventuress who wormed herself into the old fool's gojd giaces, who is he?" cried Walter beside himself with rtge. "The lady who inherited Mrs. Emer son's fortune, and who is at present on her way to Europe with my wife and son," said the lawyer, with dignity, "is Miss Alice Ward, daughter, of the Bever- end Willard Ward, of Hopeville." And as the name pas?d the lawyer's lips, Walter Hutchinson recognized the retribution that had fallen ujion bim. Two Valuable Friends. 1. A physician can not always be had.

TLere is ne thing that I like about the Jews, says a writer in the Brooklyn Stanaard-Union, and that is their devo tion to their wives. No men in the world are as considerate of women for w hom they care, and no men give and create as much love in the hearts cf their wives as do these men. I was talking to a Jewess about happy marriages, and I put to her the question : "Are yoa happy in your marriage?" And she answered : "I am so happy the days are not long enough for me to be glad in." N . this was not a young girl, who had been married two weeks, a year or five years; but a woman who had grown-up sons, and who still loved the husband of her youth with greater arderj than she did in the first year of her marriage.

He smoked like a tire 6f green brush, bat had never tasted li.juor in his life. In a dozen years he had slept more frequently in the open air, upon pebble beds or in trenches in the snow, than upon ordinary bedding, and he eEhibited in his graceful move ments, his sparkling eyes and ruddy cheeks, his maiwive frame and his imper turbable good nature, a degree of health ar.d vigor that would 6eem insolent to the average New-Yorker.
