Letitia Ilougbton was going to be married; comsequeutiy many of her dear femiaioe friends said it was a shame, a acaodal, for Letitia to think of euci ftAiy at her time of life. These same authorities declared she was fifty 8 re years old, adding there was no fool like an old one. Letitia wad on the sanuy feide of forty-fit e, but did not look aa if she were forty, being handsome, with a pretty home, a li Jy iacome, a kind heart and a sound bead. Tbe beneficiaries of her bounty had become accustomed to consider her a Bpinsltr, too eon firmed a devotee to single ble&sedneHs to change ber elate. What right bad that old thing to be taken in by an impecunious adven turer, wheu she bad friends of her life time who naturally expected t-he had no kin? people to be remembered in herwili; not that they were mercenary,, but that they had a sort of claim upon her. Remarks of this kind were freely in dulged in when the invitation were received. Tweuty-fiveor thirty wom en talking at once is rather confusiog, and as tbe speakers became excited, the comments became more persocal and-aaeuaied an ill-natured turn. It was at a church sewing-circle, aud tongues were firing faster than needlta An exceedingly pretty and rich'y dremed woman, a guest of tbe society, now took up the cudgels in dtfeote of the absent, "Ladies, Ladies, U this a modtrn school f--r scandal, or a church society held in the bateruent of a sacred edi fice ? Yob all have caue to be grate ful to LetiUa; why should you steak of her so bitterly now, because he h&9 exercbed the right we have all eiaimed T' Mrs. A!yn Alden was a leadtr of so ciety, whose dictum made or in made a newcomer entering tbe charmed cir cle. There was oot a woman present who was Dot anxious to retain her fa vor. 'Why, what have we said? It is eccentric in Mi Letitia to get married at her time of Ii.'e, now bu t it, Mrs. Jennie? - "I do not know why it should be eousidered so. Letitia Lj a very pretty woman." Mrs- Jennie, as Mrs. Aiden w v gen erally called, was a power, and with promptitude they proceeded toeat their words with marvelous celerity. Mrs. Jennie smiled and bade them good morning. On the way to Miss Letrtia's he made a gesture as if she had touched an ill -smelling weed. "What a power of harm such women ean do at times. I do not pcee as a reformer, bat I really would like to re call the ducking-stool for their bentfit. Poor Letitia! I hope she Las not cho sen unwisely." Her musings ceased as the coachman drew rein before tbe pretty old-fashioned garded of the Houghtons. Mrs. Jennie was met in tbe yard by the bjiJe-eleet, whose freb and fair com plexion had defied the ravages of time. With her Lright hazel eyes and wavy light brown hair she might have pass ed for 35 at most "Come into the house, Jennie; it's lovely out htre among the flowers, but I have some things I wiah to show you. Tbe dress has come, but I am too old to be married in white satin, so I selected a pick brocade trimmed with lace. I have never had so ro&cy clothes made at one time in my life, for I tiever needed to. I dun't thick I'm envious, but when I saw all my friends' hand some outfits t occurred to me that it would be an induceoiect to marry. Do you not like it?" She fingered the glistening folds lov ingly, and Mrs. Alden looked and ad mired, then said : "But where did you meet the man you expect to marry, Letitia? I would not give my life into the keeping of an otter stranger.' "You needn't be uneasy about me; be U a very pleasant man and I'm pos itive we will get on very well together. Aa for love, we are not you eg pet-pie and have said nothing about that, but we will do well enough as friends. Did yna notice that black and gold visiting silk, Jennie?' .Mrs. Jennie perceived that the brsde-to-be preferred to talk at ait her cklbes instead of the nlan she Lad promist d to marry, and made no other effort to drag him into tbe conversation. Miss Letitia brought every article for Mrs. Jennie's inpectioti, and said aa tLat Lady rose to go : "Do stay to lunch; I've so much to tell yoo yeL I want it understood that I meant what I said when I wrote on tbe cards I didn't want prese&ts; please make my friends understand that will you? I know they will want to give me presents; you can't know how glad I am that I am liked, Jennie. 7 Mrs. Alden would not 6hake Miss LetiUa's faith ia .the profcs&ioas of friendship she believed s: ere re, but when their epiteful comments were re called it angered her afresh with them. "I am always at home to give Alyn Lu lunch; he does not enjoy it whea I am absent, Letitia. I shall let it be knows that yoo. do not wish preeentd." For that purpose Mrs. Jennie drove back by the church, where the found the aocKrty dispersing. Slit did not alight, but told tbem of Miss Letitia'a with. 8be of tbe sharp toogae gave a a shrill little cackle, and said : That meat's that we must give them without fail; she's afraid we woot give anything, and takes that means to make sure." - "Was that the reason yoo. had no flowers' on the cards when your daugh ter gradaated ? LetiLia's bouquet was weighted with a jeweled butterfly. So glad you enlightened me. I have et EST A "RT.TSTTETD 1827. w ondered why tbit clause waa insert ed, but bad no idea it meant exactly ' oppoMte what it said. Thanks to yoo. I understand. It U never too late to learn wisdom. Good morning; I must go home. The extreme bonhomie of this speech made the clique stare at one another; they were never sure what Mrs. Alden meant; that her ebaftd hit the mark there was no doubt. Mrs. Pcn9onby gaxed after the carriage and said thero dear familiar friend : "Mrs. Alden does have the knack of taking one by surprise; she confuses a person so. Of course I didn't mean that Is, I didn't intecd to own" "That you took that way of agaric f Sophy a number of bouquets and pres ents? I thought you didn't mean to say that, dear, did you ?" suggested the friend sweetly. Mrs. Pousonby translated the re mark as it was intended, and treasured it for future use. ; MitM LetiUa's wedding night had ar rived. She was looking extremely handsome, and accepted the eiTjsive complimenU of ber friends in appar ent good faith. They declared she did not look a day over 40. As yet the groom bad not made his appearance; Miss Letitia had excused herself a moment or two, but as the minutes lengthened into an hour with out her returciog, significant glances were exchanged, and the buzx of macy voices was heard. It is astonishing bow much pleasure some people derive from the distress or mortification of Lfcelr friends. Mrs. Ponsocby and her coterie were insinu ating that something was wrong; viio itg pity which their eyes and counte nances belied. Mr. Aldea was becoming worried over the prolonged fboenee of Miss Letitia from the rxHU, and wished she would return and Ki'enoe the malicious tocgues. "She's prevailing on her swain not to become faint-hearted," giggled Mrs. PoDsonby. Thoroughly exasperated, Mrs. Jen nie was about to give a crushing retort, when Miss Letitia reappeared. She was slightly pale, ber demeanor a mixture of regret and dignity, while a blending of defiance was depicted in ' her erect attitude. j "I've had a telegram from Mr. Laug- j worthy; buinei9 of a family nature, which I shall not be at liberty to di vulge indiscriminately, compels him to start for Europe as be sent the mes sage off, consequently there will be no marriage to-night. That need not in terfere with our et: joy stent of tbe scp ptr; the presents will be returned to their donors to-morow. Mr. Alden, j will you see me to the table? The B.iiiister will Lake you, Jennie." Her astounding revelations called forth a chorus of ohs and ab, and a dozen excited women began to ply ber with questions, protesting against ber returning the presents, but she waved them aside. "The marriage U indefinitely post poned, through no fault of either bride or bridegroom, so you Deed not imagine he's absconded or jilted me. Under the circumstance I will not need the pres ents. Who ever heard of bridal gifts when there is not much likelihood of the marriage being perf ormed. I prom-L-e-you," with a fine, grim smile that somehow made certain ladies feet un comfortable, "if the marriage does take plathat I will expect Doihing from you. Now come to supper; that will not be a disappointment if the wedding is." She gave her guests do time to discuss: her affairs in groups, but marched them Into the diniDg room, some wear leg from tbe undiminished p&Dgs of curioaty an expression as if they were being led to itisant execution. Miss Letitia was the life of the party, and tbe theory that she had been jilted did not gain ground; her explana tion wa accepted as true as far as it wenL More than one face became blank wbeu Miss Letitia said : "Jennie, be sure to come arouud to morrow and help me pack those pres ents; some are so valuable I w ill cot be satisfied until they are rtturned; fortuuately all are lalled." "I will come with pleasure, Letitia," replied Mrs. Alden, while Mrs. Pon socby whL'pered dolefully, "If the would a-k mi" Early next morning Mrs. Jennie ac cordingly put in her appearance, ftDd icg her friend in exceedingly good spirits. While tying op a gaudy plated cske stand, a gift from Mrs. Pon-onby, Mrs. Alden said: "Letitia, why return the presents? Were you in earnest when you said there was not much Uklihond of there being a marriage ?" Miss Letitia was heeding over the bed, replacing a handsome silver Ladle Id in velvet box. Tiie constrained position may have been the cause of her heightened color. Iler face as she turned toward Mrs. Aldea wore conflicting ex predion;; triumph, shame, and over all a balf-sad, half-defiant look. Her firt words were apparently irrelevant. "I've learned ninoa, Jennie," she said, as she folded a dozea fine thread cambric handkerchiefs and placed with lingering regret in the costly box they came in; "bow exquisite these are, and like the donor ! Oh, yea, I wad saying how much I had learned since I had sent out those tickets. I've always bad a too confiding disposiiioa, and whi.e I'm not now a cyaie, I've had eye ope tiers, plenty of them. "Going about to different stores, riding windy days, veiled, on tbe cars, have given me an insight into people's character that has been both painful and profitable. I Deed n't ted you whom I mean, for I see yoo know. I have no regret for them I am not a sentimental fool; the only regret ia self-contempt that I've been taken in by them ec long, but I've never out frrowa a girlish pleasure in being liked. You bad your husband and children, ; and God knows I never begrwiged wives and mothers their happiness, for my life has been a healthy, happy ooe, and so completely am I a spinster that I believe I waa bora one. I've never srea the man I have even imagined I could fancy, but there was one thing I did want." Mrs. Alden bad listened sympathet ically; as Miss Letitia paused for breath the ventured to speak. "What waa that, Letitia ?' "You may laugh, Jennie, if you wish, but that was no more cor less than a trousseau." "What! Do you mean that " "I mean, and I know it will go no further, that I coulda't have a lrou- sea a without a marriage, and that was why I sent out carl-i. Don't you un derstand, Jennie ? The marriage could not take place, because there was do bridegroom at ail; now it's out." For once Mrs. Aldea was surprised beyond tbe power of expression, but when she did recover, her merry laugh ter was delightful to hear and was joined by Letitia's. "What a good j ke!" gvsped Mrs. Jeunie- "Wouldn't it make the Rich mond dames opea their eyes ? It shall go ao farther, though I ' would like Alyn to know, if you have uo objec tion. What would Mrs. Pensonby say?' "Embellish it uutil we wouldu't know it. Kut there's oue thing she won't enjoy any more expectationd of sharing my fortune. I shall leave my money as a fund for old maids' trous seaux." What to So ia Emergencies. i Lhoking With a rish liooe. II the bone is a small ooe, swallowing a mor sel of bread half chewed may remove it. If the bone can be seen, it may be taken out with the finger. Sometimes a sharp blow on the back will dislodge it. Fly in the Eye. When a fly gets into the eye geutly rub tbe eyelid in one direction to bring the fly to the inner corner of the eye, and it will then be able to be removed with the fingers. If this fails, lift op one eyelid so as to get the other under it to sweep it, Weeding at tbe None. If this is ex cessive, it most be stopped at once. The brow and none should be bathed wi:h the coldest water possible. An upright position must be maiutained, the bead thrown back and the arm-) railed, and ice or a cold piece of steel applied to the spine. Catching Fire. If a child's clothes catch fire it should be thrown down at oace, and a hearthrug, blanket or any woolen article rolled round to extin gi'iah the flames. Wasp Sling. Apply ammonia or hartshorn. If this it n t at hand, strong soda may be u-M-d, afterward rubbing wiih olive oiL Tor little Tinger Bitera. Tylng the smiil hvi U in a bag, or rubbiog tbe Sogers with bitter com pounds are the most freq'h-nt remedies resorted to when the children will per sist in biting the finger nails. It would seem that some severe method is abso lutely necewury in suea instance; it is so important to break tip the habit as early as possible: but It is found that reward is often better. An old remedy ii "aloes rubbed on the finger tips;' but in a recent instance a gold-ring-cure proved more effective. This little girl had been scolded and punished with Dotff.-ct. She declared she could not help it- It happened she earnestly desired to be the potfeeasor of a gold ring, so I said:' "If you will cot bite your fingernails for a whole year Iwiilgiveyou a ring." This proved the best possible remedy; she found she could help biting tbem, and soon became proud of the improved appear ance of her hands. Sestarkable Core of Rltsamatiin. Kzna, Jackson Co., W. Va.

A beautiful tallecio:!. of handsome brocade seen recently has a convention al design applied in irreens, blues, and dull reds. A novel erfed is produced by appliqueing brocade on brocade, the oonchiog done in a soft neutral tint harmonizing with all the colors. At tbe same time wire seen some beauti ful examples of Italian eutwork on homespun Uoen. AfUr the design in self-colortd linen is worked, the ma terial is cut out be lira: h and tbe piece mounted on color. The work is rare in New York and most beautifal in etr..-et. The clove of garlic, omnipresent al most with the French cook, is not sufficiently made use of by her Ameri can sister. Escarole aulad, or indeed, any sort of green saLvi, is much im proved if to the French dressing a dove of garlic is added. Roast mutton has a Dew and delicious flavor if two or three incisions are mails in the meat and a clove inserted la each beforte it is put in tbe oven to roast. The flavor of the garlic is Dot di-tinct enough t be recogmxed ad garlic, while it imparts a most agreeable seasoning. If ermine fur id only slightly soiled, dry rliur thoroughly rubbed into th fur and well shaken out will clean it excellently. A treatment advised by aa English exchange for fur that is more soiled is to rub it thoroughly with bran dampened La warm water. The bran is applied with a tins eel cloth. Afler tbe fur is rubbed thor oughly dry, a second rubbing is given wila dry bran, the final treatment iu the course being with maguesia. The assertion has been made ecca siouaily of late that the ue of finger bowls is to some extent decreasing. Inquiry of those m't competent U ju.ijre proves that this statement m erroneous. Oa the contrary, more mocey id being spent for finger bowls, and more artistic effort put into their man u. 'act u re, than ever before. A beau U ful design ia high-class bowls, Dew this spring, id a clear glas, tbe bowl and plate engraved ia gold, with encircling wreaths of pendant grapes. The perfection of the glass irelf and the exquisite grace and finish of the de sign combine to produce a most beau tiful aud expensive set.

They are tender when very young, be ing easily destroyed by wreed or grass, but when well under growth are hardy and can endure dry weather fairly weld. The nearer to the surface tbe seed is placed the better, as many fail ures of the germioatioa of seed is due to deep covering. If the ground is rich large yields will result.

Clods and lumps will do more harm to young plants than grass, for which reason the ground mu.-t be made very fine, in the garden the us of the rake being preferred to the bar roar. Many gardens now have onioi.s and peas up and growing, but U is not too late to put more onions in. I se the sets aad lay off the rows two feet apart, as the sets are osually worked with a gaxdea hoe or wheat hoe. The set may be placed six inches apart iu the rows. Make the ground deep and fine, aud use well-rotted manure, aa coare manure will be an obstruction. Keep the ground between the rows worked and always clean. For the garden the white, or silver skia, variety is a favor ite, as it is of mild flavor, but the red aud yeilow varieties are also excelleut as an additiou.
