Mark J. Kendall. Ojme When You're Called. CLARA BASSETT TO MRS. Git AY. Woodland, September 10, 18 . . Hear, Darling Mammy I got your aide letter this morning. I don't won der yon scold. It is ray fault, my very great fault do, it isn't, either : I can no toll a lie any more than if I had little hatchet, like G. W. It is Dot nij fault, really. I have been so busy ana so tired and to crosB that I couldn't write to you. Now don't make up a sweet, sober face at me because I 8ay I am cross ; it's very good of me to own it, though you could no doubt have found it out in tho course of this epistle; so it is a sort of cheap virtue to tell of it. . --. Wot to begin at the beginning, when .wo first went to housekeeping I waited ' a while to see how the wheels ran be- tore e Tm wirpifny; and I was so glad I did, for I had such queer things Happen, it did scorn as u l never should learn how tysMnake cookies. I haven't told you amafhis before because I want ed you to have some peace after the racket of the wedding was over ; and besides, I knew yon would tell Aunt .Tftmimft (T'm no frln.l rIia'h enna fr "Europe I), aud she would say: " I told yon so, Frances, that Ruth knew nothing concern inc household duties." Rnt about the cookies : I suppose you think they are simple enough, yours are al ways so light and tender. Yon ought to have seen the first three batches I made. I spoiled them every time, and cried to think about the waste. Then I had such a time 'earning how to cook break fp.st. I thought any body could do that, bat I declare it was worse than the cookies ; and as for potatoes, language can't do justice to the suDject. If Jack wasn't an angel in some respects, I mean this family would have been in a family jar of tliejurgent description long 'ago- . (Marginal note by Jack You boo, I got a lunch every day in town, aud learn ed to make it pretty subhtantial, mother-in-law, so Iv&uhl"" smile'and smile aud be a villian still." Ho much for the angel. But those steaks were Btunuiug, I tell you.) ; .r.1 . T.i" ' . Ilowever, T oould make" bread, you know. I thiv.k.AuntJJeinima would have come to church. Tand forbid the banns if I nad not sent her such a nice loaf tl1 j week before we were married. I know she asked Bridget privately if I really made it all myself, for. Bid told me so. And after awhile I could broil a ;:f.eak just right, and my potatoes came it white and mea'ly, aud the fourth 1 iitch of cookies was just splendid, and i could cook a veal cntlet exactly right; so I thought it was time to uiik some of Jack's relations to come and see us. I did wish I had a sister. I wanted some body of my very own to come first, and you couldn't come, just because Aunt Jemima would have a fever ! I always thought in - my secret heart that she would have got well six weeks sooner if yon hadn t been the re to coddle her and . make her comfortable. I know I should like mightily to lie in bed six weeks and have you take care of me, I m so awful ly tired; and I did mean to have you come just as soon as she sailed; but, oh I mother, don't you know how you used always to tell me, " Come when you're called," and the rest of itt I thought tnut was nothing but a child s rhyme, but I have found out it means just as mnch for grown people. (Note by Jack She really thinks she is grown up I) Uon't mind Jack's scratches, dear; he Is awfully impertinent; that isn't angelic at all. I just smelled something burn ing, and laid tho paper down a minute to see to it, and he made those notes. It was only the milk boiled over that I was getting boiled for breakfast coffee. I can't wait to boil it mornings, for Jack l.as to have his breakfast so early, so I just " hot it up," as Biddy says. Well, about Jack's relations; poor fellow I he never had a mother (Note by Jack Strange, if true.) I mean he don't rerr ember her. He was six weeks old when she died, and his aunt took him Mrs. Staples. She has five children, but I couldn't ask them all, you know, for there is only one spare room to th' house i so I wrote to her, and said I should like to have her and one of the girls come to see me in June. It is pleasant -4ire then, and I was going to ask KHJf fTty July, bocause she always goes into the country then. So I wrote just as nice a letter as I could, and made all my plans, and engaged strawberries for every day; though I didn't mind that so much, for I could take it back, but a letter arrived saying she couldn't come in June, for she liked to stay at home and have com pany in Jane herself, but she would come in July. Oh dear 1 I had just that very day written to Kit, and I had to go and write her another letter and tell her all about it, and ask her to come in August.' I meant to have you in August, mammy, but you know I had to put her off, for she was going -down to New York in Jane to get her summer things. She likes to wait till then, because they are cheaper, so she couldn't come before August anywny; aud then I sat down tnd wrote to Jack's cousin, Sarah Bas sett (he hns got three Cousin Sarahs), and asked her to come in June ; he liked her ever so much, and so did I, hat little I had Been of her. I thought he was splendid. (Note by Jack Ten minutes' acquaint ing in the parlor of a New York hotel, n the way to Niagara, ) So I asked her to come next week, vhich would be the 1st of June; but she wrote back and said she was very sorry, he was going to Hillsdale, she had promised a week there, but she would some on the 10th if I wanted her; so I -ent a postal to say I did. I told the nailkman I must have cseam three times chat week I mean the week after and a node sponge-cake and delicate-cake and ookies, and I plf nned oat dinner and lessert for all the week, so I shouldn't e anxious. It's one good thing about eing married, you don't have to do any sewing for such a long time. If I huln't chosen to do my own work I should have been at a loss what to do with my time; bat I was glad I hadn't dressmaking to do now; I could have no such time with Sarah. To be sure, there's the mending, and Jack does wear out stockings faster than anybody I ever saw; I don't have one hole in mine to four in his. I suppose it's boots. However, mending is easy if there isn't too much of it. Buttous trouble me more than anything. I do believe they were just glued on to Jack's things, and break off. So I was quite ready the dv before the 10th. I had roses all over the house, and the silver pitcher full of cream in the ice-box. and the man prom ised to bring me two quarts of berries hs soon as the boat came in. and I had Jovely veal cutlets and peas for dinner i mean i was going to have them and Jack came home early; but. oh I he had a letter in his pocket a letter from Hillsdale to say Sarah had been per suaded to stay a week longer, but she would come on the 17th, Mother, I was just mad. I sat down on the sofa and cried. I always do cry, you know, when I am angry; bat poor dear Jack thought I was grieved, and tried to oomiort me. 1 ' "Vow don't von Irv i mo. va - J '- J ' ' V , Jack," I sobbed. "I'm just as vexed as I can be. I ain't sorry a bit ; I'm provoked. And then Jack laughed ; and it was so queer to have him laugh because I was angry that I cqpldn't help laughing too ; and then he thought it was uii rigut, but it wasu t. (Note by Jaok. No, indeed, not by a long shot. It was pretty much ail wrong for the next twenty -four hours, ma'am ; but we survived it.) I never, never, shall think as much of Sarah again ; and of course we had to eat cream aud strawberries ourselves, aud the veal cutlet and salad, and I had an awful headache owiDg to the cream ; but I did think it was my duty to use it, and it won't keep, you know. I could keep the cake in a stone jar a week, and so I did ; but I didn't engage any extra thing, and it was just as well I didn't, for Sarah telegraphed she was sick with a severe influenza, but would come as soon as she was able. ' She didn't come till the 27th of June, as Sure as you live, mother, and then it turned ' out she had had an attack of Bcarlet fever ; the doctor didn't like to tell her for fear she would be scared ; but she found it out. The attack was light, but she really wasn't fit to leave Hillsdale so soon, and she wasn't at all well all the time she staid here. Aunt Staples was not coming till the 10th of July that would be Wednesday so I made Sarah promise to Btay till Monday morning, for she was not fit to go on Saturday, as she meant to, and that would give me time to get the spare room swept and aired and dusted, and fresh cake made, and dinner all ready cook, and nice flowers arranged. Sarah was coming with her mother and Jack had told me she was a very deli cute girl, the baby of the family, only about fifteen, so I wanted to have things nice for her. I had ordered a spring chicken from the marketman for Wed nesday, and was going to make jelly for dessert, and boiled custard. Monday came, of course Monday always comes; but J don't mind that so much, for we send the washing and ironing out, only I almost always have a headache, for Mr. Stark preaches such long sermons, and my neck aches keep ing it so still. Then this Monday I wanted to get Harah Bassett a good breakfast, for the wuu going away in the early train with Jack; so I got up very early, and that made it ache worse, yon know; bo I thought it would be bo nice not to have to get a real, proper lnnch, bat only some tea, and I Bat down on the step to rest a bit after the dishes were washed, when, lo t up comes a tele graph boy I do hate that kind of boys always with a yellow envelope. 1 don't mean I bate the boys exactly, but you know they're always bringing some dreadful message. I don't know that they ,-wiw'y-aMsvrCtBe than any other boys. but 1 don't like boys at all, and the tele grams make them seem worse; and what do you think I it was from Aunt Sta ples ; "I arrive on the noon train explain change of plans then." I felt just as if somebody had slapped me, mother. I declare I didn't know what in the world to do. I knew I must do something, so I called Aunt Staples a few hatefuitjiames, and that seemed to cleiwf-dr- I was too angry to cry this time ; I just scolded. Now I know just how you look, mammy. You think I ought to be more patient, and I know that ; but just then I was thinking of other people's "oughts," and I do think to this very day Aunt Staples ought to have come when she said she would, and I guess she thinks so too now. Well, when I came to think, I knew the first thing was to get the spare room ready. Sarah had opened all the windows as soon as she was ready to come down, bo I had only the bed to make, for I had not time to sweep. It never once entered into my stupid head that Sarah Staples (Note by Jack. Bless the child! What would come to pass if any body else called her stupid ?) Hadn't had scarlet fever. I thought people always had it when they were children, just like croup and measles and such things. I put the room in order, and dusted all the corners and cracks out faithfully; and then I went into the kitchen and made some tea, and I was going to have scalloped oysters for dinner; so I put them in the pan all ready to stew, and there was a little cold chicken from yesterday to slice up, and there was lunch leady," for I baked brpad on Saturday, Well, at noon they came. Aunt Sta ples turned out a positive kind of a woman, and Sarah just as delicate as she could be; but they were pleasant, and they liked the oysters, and Sarah liked the tea, so I did not mind much. (Note by Jack. Lucid 1 What didn't the little madam mind much ? Here's a mystery for you !) But, oh ! I was down stairs seeing to the dinner, when Jack bounced in. "What the deuoe brought Aunt Staples here to-day Ruthy?" " Why, Jack, I know it-isn't it bad ? But, you see, she wanted to leave the house a day or two before the people who have rented it were coming in, so as to have her stoves taken out, for she was afraid Sarah would catch cold if she was there even a day without fires. It is a brick house, you know." Why didn't she find it out before, I wonder ?" "Oh, she was afraid it was coming on to rain ; the sky looked threatening." "Well, you see, dear, the case is serious. Sally Bassett happened to ask me this morning in the car if Sarah Staples had ever had scarlet fever, thought she had, of course; but, come to think about it, I did remember that she never had any of those childish things, she was bo much younger than the rest; so I sat down and wrote to Aunt Mary Ann, and advised her not to come now. The letter must have gone to Rexford to-night. I tell you what, Ruthy, I'll get it out of the o'tllce. I'll see the postmaster to-morrow, and have all my letters, or those to my cure, sent into town this week. Maybe Sarah won't take the fever if she doesn't know we have had a half-recovered patient in the house." But, oh I mammy, she did. She took it mean she had it before the week was out, and has been dreadfully sick; the doctor didn't think she could poB sibly live; and Sarah had to have a nurse, and she had oar room, and Jack had to sleep on the parlor sofa, and I put his hammock up in the kitchen attio and slept there. But we have had such a horrid time for six long, long weeks I It's so hard to get things here, you know, and people were afraid to come and help on account of the fever. But the worst of all was Annt Staples, who kept hint ing and alluding, and finally outright blamed us for not letting her know about Sally Bassett, till at last Jack got mad, and told her all about his let ter to her, and wound up with, " There's nobody but yourself to blame, Aunt Mary Ann. If you had come when you were asked to come, none of this would have happened." Aud, oh, mammy, I am rather glad he said it, though I do feel sorry for her, she loves Surah so. And the poor girl is just like a shadow, though the doctor sayj she will get well if they're careful; but I know one thing, I never, never will go any where unless I can go when I am asked to, for I know now how bad it is, and it might have been worse, and I want you to come right away, and stay just as long as you can. Jack says he isn't at all afraid of his mother-in-law. I guess he isn't, to judge from his saucy notes. (Jack Dear mothcr-in-law, do profit by this interminable story of Rathy's, and "como when you're called.") There I I knew he would put in some thing impertinent. But come come anyway, only come" at once, dearest, darlingebt mammy, to yonr tired-ont girl, Ruth. P. S. Of course Kitty Hayes conldn't come', and now she's going to bo mar ried in October, and can't come at all, and oh I I do wish Aunt Staples hadn't. (Jack Grammar to the front 1 Sen tences are Ruthy's strong point.) Har per's Bazar. A Dyspeptic's Dinner. There came to the dinner-table at the Lawrence house the other day two stran gers, one a lean and hungry-looking customer, the other a decent appearing young fellow. As they reached the table the older man clutched frantically at the bill of fare and remarked as fol lows: "Let's see what they got. You know I can't eat everything. Been nearly dead for ten weeks with dyspepsia. Ah, oyster soup, guess that won't hurt me," To waiter "Bring me some oyster soup and, let's see, boiled white fish,' yes, I'll have some o' that." The soup and the fish were rapidly eaten. "Now, let's see what else they've got; ycu know I can't eat every thing. Roast turkey,' that ought not to hurt me. I'll have some o' that. Roast beef,' yes, I'll have some o' that. 'Chicken potpie,' yes, that's easi ly digested. I'll have some. Let's see, I can't eat everything; I'll take a bit of the boiled ham, some macaroni, and ah, some chicken livers and vegeta bles." The waiter had been takiDg the order and the man with the weak stomach reached this way for crackers, that way for butter, here took a piece of bread, there a pickle and a stalk of celery, and frequently remarking that he couldn't eat everything, stayed his stomach un til his dinner was brought. He looked it over, sent the waiter back for some roast veal and another onion, remarking that his stomach was weak, he had been suffering terribly from dyspepsia, and couldn't eat everything, but at last got to work and cleared the dishes. The matter of dessert troubled him some because his stomach wts bo weak, but he finally ordered mince pie, plum pudding and ice cream, with a cup of coffee. They were brought and devoured, and then he called the waiter and made her a confidential communication that he had been sick with the dyspepsia, that his stomach was weak, he couldn't eat everything, and would she bring him a bowl of milk ? The milk was brought; he crumbled some bread therein, and, as his younger companion had departed, the man with tho weak stomach remarked to the gen tleman across the table from him that it was darned rough to have to come down to bread and milk, but -he had been sick, he couldn't eat everything and had to bo careful. And now the landlord is anxions for that man to come around when he is well. He needn't come but once. Adrian (Mich.) Time a. " E I'lnribns Unuui," A. Loudon Snowden, of Philadelphia, thus describes the origin and use of the motto of the United States, - Pluriius I'nuin (one in many) : " It is ascribed to Colonel Reed, of TJxbridge, Mass. It first appeared ou a copper coin, struck at Newbargh, New York State, where there was a private mint. The pieces struck are dated 178C. In 1787 the motto appeared ou several types of the New Jersey coppers, also ou a very cu rious gold doubloon, or sixteeu-dollar piece, coined by a goldsmith named Brasher. It was there put Unum E Plnribus.' Only four of th se pieces are known to bet-xlaut, and lliey ure very valuable. One of them, in posses sion of the United States mint, is sup posed to be worth over $1,000. When Kentucky was admitted, in 1791, it is said copper coins were struck, with 'E. Pluribus Unnm.' They were made in England. The act of Congress of 1792, authorizing the establishment of a mint, and the coinage of gold, silver and cop per, did not prescribe this motto, nor was it ever legalized. It was placed on gold coins in 1796, and on silver coins in 1798. It was constantly used there after until 1831, when it was withdrawn from the quarter-dollar of new device. In 1831 it was dropped from gold coins to mark the change in the standard fine ness of the coin. In 1837 it was dropped from the silver coins, marking the era of the revised mint code. It has been thought proper to restore it recently to our new silver dollar, without any spe cial sanction of law, although the ex pression is one very proper for our coin." A Curious List.

An Indian carried the dead body of his sister to the top of a hill at Rosebuu, Neb., and stationed himBelf by it with a rifle in his hands, intending to kill the first white man who came within rango, so that a white spirit might ac company her to the happy hunting grounds. He stood there six hours, tiriug occasional but harmless shots at diEtant; persons. Then a white man who had lived many years among the Indians, and whose wife was a squaw, walked unsuspiciously that way. The Indian shot him in the breast, and was satisfied.

We find the following in a recent issue of a St. Paul (Minn.) paper: "Yester day morniug, about ten o'clock, two young ladies were seen going down Third street, one leading and the othei driving a cow. The young ladies were good lookiug, and trudged along till a dry-goods store ou Third street was reached. Here they tied the auitnal and disappeared in the store, whereupon a young man was Been to rush out of the buck door, and it was some time before he could be found.

A New York cot respondent says : Ru mor has it that Mrs. Alexander T. Stew art has decided to dispose of her money while she is living, and to do it in Eerson. This resolution beiDg known, as opened a Pandora's box. We have at least one thousand persons in this city who have little schemes of their own for benefiting the race. They are sure if Mrs. Stewart would only know what they were about, and look into their little Bchemes, she wouldn't hesitutea moment to help them along. All the avenues of her home have to be guarded. Her steps are tracked everywhere, even on her way to church. Mrs. Commo dore Vanderbilt was annoyed in the same manner. When she married the Commodore she had no more money than was abselutely essential to her comfort. She felt keenly the responsi bility of being the custodian of money, and knew hardly when to give and when to withhold. She was run down day and night by applications, and spoke often to her friends of the impositions she had practiced upon her, and the great difficulty hhe had in discriminating.
