t-he sat sik-nt awhde, until her husband
Ifan to ttiui to hear her voieu agaiu, and
r il'iied her from her ahstrtiCtion.
"What U it, little one? You seem in a
hrewu tudy about something. Kemember.

! r-.ilize huw man jiarlies we went to
via!,'-? were at mother'n? There were
the li .ribut nked us three times, and the
'ray-ens twi-.e. and you kuuw we went
everywhere."
J'lhn Stilling knew lhat very well. Some
vir.it reserve J of tsature save to thofC of his
-vii ImtischoM, atiinot fond of general eo
tiety. toin; to a continual round of parties
ba l leeti fiite of the sacrifices he had made
'I'lriri: the first winter of his marriage, to
j iur-e his -ay little wife. The idea crossed
hi- mind, as he spoke, that she, too, had
vwsrivd of's much excitement, and was go
i:iir tii t repose, for the future,a tiuieter life.
"Ves. I liked it," she said, with a little
e:nV)irra-i-:nj;it, for her woman's intuition
ined the course his thoughts had taken.
1 was only thinking, John, that having ac
i -; tod so many invitations,every one would
.- .y we were mean if we did not give at least
tne large party in return. It would be
j-i-t the he! time now, don't you see?
Kverythiiisj we have is fresh and new our
'irai ing rooms arc really elegant ! I .should
so like to gather our friends round as, and
fcive a sort of house warming."
"That's a primitive, comfortable-sounding
term. Xeliie. How much would this friend
ly little affair co-t us?"
"Oh, I've thought that all over. We
should have to ask every one we know. It
wouldn't da to slight any ; besides, the more
the merrier, you. know. We could have
with get up the supper and furnish the
decorations. His bill would be about three
hundred and fifty dollars say fifty more for
tnusie, and a new dress for me.
"Five hundred dollars ei Xeliie?"
'Yes, I'm sure I could make five hundred
do it handsomely. I could send oat the in
vitations for week after next."
"Well, dear, you must let me dream over
it. I really didn't know receptions were
oueh expensive affairs. Five hundred dol
lars for an evening's entertainment, and the
prospect of a hard winter, and much suffer
ing among the poor. Well, I'll tall you in
the morning. If I can make up my mind
that i( is right, you ahall have the party."
The rest of the evening was a little con
strained. The young wife, seeing that her
husband did tot care to talk about the recep
tion any more just then, struggled bravely
to avoid the subject, and, inasmuch as it
held possession of all her thoughts, was
rather an absent minded companiou.
That night, after his wife was quietly
asleep beside him. John Stirling spent an
hwur of not untroubled thought Unlike
Nellie ho had been brought up in a quiet
country home, where five hundred dollars
would have been thought a by no means in
adequate provision for the support of the
whole family daring an entire year. Was it
right, could it be right, to spend it npon one
evening's entertainment, for the sake, too,
of people who would be in no wise benefitted
thereby whose choicest pleasures were so
common that they had already paled upon
their senses? But then, as his wife had
suggested, they had been out -so much
would not this drawing back from a return
of eiv ilities look very mean ? And John
Stirling shrank, with all the pride of a sen
sitive man, from the least imputation of
meanness. They were not rich. True, his
capital was his own, and his business was
good; but he had not felt that be could
spend more than three thousand a year on
home expenses, and here was five hundred
extra, upon which he had notcounted.com
ing at once. Surely he could hot dare, for
such a cau.e, to stint his contributions for
the relief of the suffering? Could he afford
it without? Nellie, tin indulged child of
wealthy parents, knew nothing of such anx
ious thoughts; she only heard the result in
the morning. Before he gave her his good
by kiss, he said in a tone a little more sober
fhan he meant it should be :
'"Well, dear, you shall have your party.
You can begin making your arrangements
at once. Here is a hundred dollars for the
feminine adornments; I will pay Smith and
the music Ht'tei ward"."
That was all. John Stirling had a sunny,
unselfish temper, and when he had made up
his mind to grant his wife the indulgence
she craved, it would not have been like him
to spoil her pleasure by any indication of
dissatisfaction. Still, as I have hinted, her
intuitions were strong and her nature sensi
tive and impressible, and she had a certain
sense of having persuaded her husband some
what against his own wishes that rather dis
inclined her to commence her preparations.
It was nearly eleven o'clock before she dress
ed herself fur the shopping expedition. She
was just tying the strings of Iter elegant fall
hat when she heard a ring at the door, and
presently a servant came in with the infor
mation that a little child, who had brought
home some sewing, waited to see her.
Mr Stilling was motherly by insliuct,
and her heart warmed at ouce to the shy
little creature who came timidly in. It was
a girl not more than seven years old quite
too young. Mr3. Slit ling thought, to be
trusted alone in the streets ; but then she
herself had been brought up under the suc
cessive rule of nursery-maid and governess.
She took the bundle from the child's
hand, and sfid, with the same bright, kind,
smile which had wiled John Stirling's bach
elor heatt away ;
"Where did you come from, and how did
yon find your way here alone, you Tpoor lit
tle thing?"
"Sister Annie sent me, ma'am. She had
doce your embroidery, and she thought if
she could get the money for it to pay Mr.
Jenkins, maybe he would let us stay ia the
room ti;l she got a little better,
"She is sick, then ?''
"Yes'ui. She didn't feel well enough to
come. It has been hard getting along all
summer, for the ladies she works for were
almost all out of town, and some of them
owing her ; and I fc'pose the worry and not
having much to eat did it, ma'am."
Mrs. Stirling leaned toward the little crea
ture, and looked at her more closely. Could
it be hunger, she thought, that made those
blue eyes look so large and the skin trans
parent? Was this little thing actually suf
fering for bread, and she going to spend five
hundred dollars in one evening, feasting
those who had never felt a want" even of
dainties? She knew not what thoughts had
been in her husband's mini wher he spoke
ot the suffering among the poor. She said
pleasantly :
Well, child, you must have some lunch
eon, and then I ill go with you to see your
sister. I had better speak to her about the
work."
Isn't it right? Can't you pay her?'
The child- gave a start of alarm and spoke
with the premature womanliness and natu
nil nnnreheusion of misfortune which are
among the saddest fruits ot poverty.
Mrs. Stirling relieved her with ready sym
pathy.
"Yes indeed, the work is all right. It's
done beautifully; but I want to see your
sister about some more, and perhaps I can
do her good.''
It would have made the kind lady's heart
ache could she have seen the eagerness
with which the haif-famished child devour
ed the lunch which was set before her in
the kitchen,
In a few moments they were ready to
start, Mrs. Stirling had replaced her velvet
mantle by a Scotch shawl,her French hat by
' a simple straw ; and with a basket n her
hand containing a few dainties with which
she hoped to tempt the sicks girl's palnfe,
she followed the child across the the city
toward C street a locality hitherto ter
ra incognita to her. , , ,
In a half dilapidated wooden house, in a
narrow court, she found the object of her
search. She went up two Sights of stabs
and entered a back room lighted by one
window. The atmosphere struck her, in
spite of her warm attire, with a sudJcu
chill. ... -,
Evidently the sun never came there. The
dampness on the wall, the general aspect of
gloom aod cheerlessness, was only relieved
by the scrupulous neatness which prevaded
everything. Mrs. Stirling had already no
ticed this quality in the attire of the child,
which, though cheap, and poor, and patched,
was as immaculate in its cleanness as her
own.
At the window, attempting to -sew, the
older sister sat, hut she was evidently very
ill. Every now and then a spasm of cough
ing seized her, which compelled her to lay
duwn her work and clasp both her hands to
her side, while the paleness of her thin
cheek flushed into hectio. Mrs. Stirling
had not seen her before since spring, the
work returned that morning having beeu
sent to her by a servant. She went to her
and sat down in a chair that stood near. '
"Your sister said you were sick, and so I
csme to see if I could be of any use to you,"
she said, in gentle tones, which, of them
selves, carried a certain comfort with them.
"You have changed ten ibly since spring.
I must hear all about it ; but I want you
should eat what I have brought you ; here
is some jelly.and a bit of cold chicken they
will do yon good."
The poor girl looked at the viands with
the involuntary gTeedinessof hunger. Then
she blushed deeply, and said in a low voice :
"I am very grateful, madam ; but if you
please, I will wait untill you leave me. Al
low me at present to attend to you."
"No, indeed!" Mrs. Stirling spoke in
her pretty absolute fashion. "I am not go
ing yet. I want to talk with you awhile,
and I shall not do so until you have taken
something to strengthen you. Little Jane
has lunched already."
So the gay, bright lady sat and waited,
feeling, in the new prospec. of being active
ly usefull, a genuine glow of delight. When
the girl had finished her generous meal and
taken up her work again, Mrs. Stirling be
gan to talk to her.
"Is this consumption, Annie?" Sh
asked, gently, "your cough alarms me."
"No, ma'am, I am very sure it is nothing
of the kind yet. There is no consumption
in our family. My father was a country
minister, and had a strong and healthy con
stitution, lie died young, but it was from
a violent fever, caught iu attendance on a
sick stranger. I think it was grief that
made my mother follow him in three months.
She had always been delicate, though not
sickly, and she lacked the strength it re
quired to live and suffer. It is seven years
since she died, on the very day little Jane
was born."
"How old were you then ?"
"Fifteen, and there were no living chil
dren bi'iwccu us two."
"And have you supported yourself and
her ever since?"
"Oh! no. My father's books sold for
enough to keep us some time, and my aunt,
who lived here, brought us to Boston. We
both lived with her. She took care of Jane
and I worked in a shop, and earned enough
to buy her clothes and help Aunt Martha
with the living. It is only since she died,
three years ago, that I have been at all
alone with Jenny."
"You came out of the shop then?"
"Yes, because I could not have Jenny
there with me, and she had no one else to
see to her, and indeed I have made more
nionay since; I have embroidered so much."
"But surely you have suffered more than
usual this summer ?"
"Oh! yes, ma'am. The ladies that I
work for are mostly out ot town In the sum
mer, and so winters I try to save something
to help me through. But last winter was
so hard that I had not ad mUch work as us
ual and this summer we have not been very
well off. I had to give up the comfortable
room I used to have, because 1 could not
earn enough to pay for it, and I suppose the
dampness here has uot just agreed with
me."
She tried to smile, buithe (ears came in
stead. Mrs. Stirling took her hand with a
comforting pressure.
Don t cry. Better times are coming to
you now. x am sure l can influence you a
great deal more work. You shall have
enough to do, and we must see that you
move out of this unhealthy place."
Sister Aunic smiled sadly.
"The landlord has seen to that, madam
I can only stay here three days longer. He
wants to let the room to a tenant who will
pay more ; and I have been troubled for
fear I should not be able to go out and find
another house."
''Well, you must not feel anxious. Just
leave that till to-morrow. Then if you are
not able to go, I will find a place for you.
It can't be a difficult matter to find one as
good as this. At any rate, to-morrow you
shall see me again ; and, in the mean time
the pay for the work little Jane brought
home will make you comfortable.'
So saying, she put into the girl's hand
twice the customary price for the embroi
dery she had done, and without waiting for
the thanks whioh trembled on Annie II ad-
ley's pale lirs, she went out of the room,
down the stairs, and returned home, after
this, her first shark? visit.
On the way she stopped but once, and
that was not to look into any of the windows j
gay with autumn goods, or to exchange her
hundred dollar note on the Suffolk Bank for
silks and satins. ' She only went for a mo
ment to a neat, respectable looking house
on Myrtle street, and then hurried towards
home.
She met her husband, when he came to
his five o'clock supper,1 with a beaming
smile. The meal waa well cooked and neat
ly served ; the wife opposite him was young
and fair; and when John Stirling rose from
the table and went with her Into her evening
room, it is no wonder he said to himself,
that this being in one's own Lome wasn't so
bad a thing after all.
"What is it, Nellie?", he asked, after a
while, in answer to a questioning look in his
wife's eyes. . . , ; , . i
"You are sure, John, you can spare me
that five hundred dollars without putting
aside any rightful claim ?" ..
"I hope so, Nellie ; if; I had not thought
so, I should not have jiven it to you, much
as I love to please you.' '
"Then what," she spoke hesitatingly,
"what if I wanted very much indeed to use
it for something else?"
"I do uot understand what you can pos
sibly mean."
For an answer she detailed to him the dif
ferent events of the day. . - When ehe was
thiough she said : .......
"It seems so hard, John, for that poor
girl, a minister's daughter, too, to be suffer
ing for want of food ; and living, or rather
dying, by inches, in that miserable, damp,
unhealthy place. I can see how, with five
hundred dollars, I could make her eo com
fortable. I stopped in at .Nurse Sinead's
on my way home to-dayv and I found that
she had a nice, bright, good sized room,
whsre the sun shines half the day, which
she will let for seventy dollars a year. There
is a stove in it already, and a carpet on the
floor, and thirty dollars more wuuld supply
it with every needed comfort. 'Now, if I
could pay the rent of the room a year in ad
vance for Annie Hadley, and fit it up neatly
what a fine start it would be for her I. It
would give her such rest such freedom
from care. She would have time to get
well. She's very skillful with her needle,
and. with the work she could easily do, she
), could live so nicely, and Jenny could go to
school. I have it all planned, and there,
with your, permission, goealhe hundred dob
lars in my pocket."
John Stirling looked at his wife, and it
seemed do him, with the eenerous, nnselGh j
lij.ht illuminating it, her face was the face !
of an angel. But he did not say so then.
He answered her, in the tone of one rais
ing an objection
"But what would you wear to the party,
Nellie, I should not Like you to look shabby,
my dear."
"Trust to me for that. I can wear my
wedding dress. It is suehi a rich, heavy
white silk, and it is not soiled at all. With
a little different arrangement of the trim
mings, it will be as handsome as anything I
could get. Eut are you quite set upon giv
ing the party, John?'
"Are you uot, dear?"
"I was."
There was a panse for a few momnt8 in
which Nellie tied and untied the tinsels of
her silk apron several times. When she
looked up, an eager light shone through the
mist which had somehow gathered before
her eyes.
"I suppose there are many people in the
city, John, just as worthy as Annie Hadley,
and needing help just as much?"
Without doubt, Nellie ; plenty ot worse
cases, especially now as winter is coming
on."
"Could you find them ?"
"I think I could. Some of the cases of
destitution, which he can not afford to re
lieve, make a busiuess man's heart ache al
most every day."
"Then four hundred dollars extia, whioti
you would not have given otherwise, will do
a great deal."
"Yes, a great deal. It is a large sum,
"Yes, it is a large sum, as you said last
night, to be spent on a single evening's en
tertainment for those who do not need it,
but not large when we comoare it vith the
wants of those who suffer., John, I have
no wioh to give that party. Will you take
the money for doing good V
"But those who have invited us, Nellie?
The Ilurlbuts, the Uraysons: all your
many friends? One wouldn't like to be
thought mean.'
"We can ask theni all, a few at a time
all those we care for. Your ordinary house
keeping allowance is liberal enough for that.
If thai does not please them, after all,
John" and the little woman bid her face
on her husband's shoulder, for she waa one
who seldom uttered her deepest thoughts,
or mentioned, even to him, the emotions
which she held most sacred "it they should
not approve it, it matters so much more
what lie thinks who told us to invite to our
feasts, the poor, the maimed, and the blind.
I have been blind till to day. I don't care
for large parties any more."
"You shall do as your heart has counsell
ed yon, Nellie. The money shall be at your
disposal to-morrow. We will give our re
ception to the guests whom God himself
graciously chose for us.
He said no more just then, hut Nellie
Stirling had unconsciously gained in that
hour a new and holier hold on the heart of
her husband. Fie had loved the gay, half-
spoiled girl ; what word expresses what he
felt for the noble, self sacrificing woman
whom had that day been revealed to him
Annie Iladley's heart was Tightened next
day of a weary burden, and she was as grate
ful for Mrs. Stirling's delicacy as for her
aid.
1 " The Lawrers and the Cats. ' - ' "
Two Arkansas lawyers were domesticated
in the rude hotel ot a country town. The
hotel was crowded, and the room allotted to
our two heroes was also ocenpied by six or
eight others.. Shake down beds ecouah to
accommodate the gues! s, were disposed a
bout the room, against the four walls, leav
ing an open space in the centre of the apart
ment. :
Judge Clark lay with bia head to the
north, on one side, and Judge Thomas lay
with his head to the South, on the other
side of the room. - So far as that room was
concerned, it might be said that their heads
represented the north and south poles, re
spectively. : ' -"
All the other beds in the room were occu
pied. The central part of the room was
deemed neutral ground, in which the occu
pants of the different beds had equal rights,
Here in picturesque con fusion, lay the boots,
hats, coats and breeches of the sleepers.
There were no windows, and though the
door was open, there being no moon, the
night was very dark in that room.
The wily lawyers, who had been opposing
eonnsel in a case tried in the town court
that day, and had opposed each other with
the contumacity of wild pigs, were now the
very incarnation ot meekness Tor when the
hungry swarms of inosquetoes settled down
and bit them on the one check, they slowly
turned the other to be bitten also.
- But hush 1 hark I
A deep sound strikes the ear like a rising
knell!
"Meowow!"
. Judge Clark and Thomas were widea
wake, and sitting bolt upright in au in
stant. .
Again the startling cry I .
"Ye ow, yo or? 1"
' "There's a d d I" cat whispered Clark.
. "Scat, you !". hissed Thomas.
Cat paid no attention to.these demonstra
tions, but gave vent to anothcruiuch loud
er yowL . . ,
' "Oh, Lord!" cried Clark, "I can't stand
this ! Where is she Thomas?"
"On your side of the room somewhere,"
replied Thomas.
"No she is on your side," said Clark.
"Ye-ow-ow-ow !'
"There, I told you she was on your side,"
they both exclaimed in a breath.
And still the "yowl'', went on.-.;..... . .
The idea now entered tb4ieads of both
the lawyers, that by the excercise of certain
strategy thev might be enabled to execute a
certain flank movement on the cat, and to
tally demoralize him. IVaeiicaiiy each de
teruiined to "tile a motion to qutuh" the
cat's attachment for that room.
Each kept his plan to himself, and, in
the dark, unable to see each otherprcparcd
for action.
Strange as it may appear, it is neverthe
less true, that the same plan suggested itsell
to bot h. In words, the plan would be about
as follows:
The yowler is evidently looking and call
ing for another cat, with whom he has made
an appointment. I will imitate a cat, and
thid cat will ihiuk the other cat s around
This cat will come toward mc, and when he
shall have arrived within reach, I'll blaze
away with anything I can get hold of, and
kno.'k the mew-sis out of him.
So each ot the pjrtly J udges, noisiessiy
as cream comes from the surface of the milk,
hoisted himself upon his hands and knees
aud, hippopotnmus fashion advanced to the
neutral ground occupying the central por
tion of the room. Arrived there, J udac
Clark selected a boot jack. and J udge Thorn
as a heavy cow hide boot, from the heap
and settled themselves down to the woi'k.
Clark tighteued his erasp on the boot
jack, and throwing up his head, give ven
to a prolonged and unearthly ''Ye ow-ow !
that would have reflected credit upon ten of
the largest kind of cats.
"Aha. thought Ihonias who was not
six feet away, "he is immediately close a
round. Now I'll invade him!" and he
gave the regular dark night call of a fetui
nine cat.
Each of the Judges now advanced a littl
closer, and Clark produced a questioning
"Ow ow?"
Thomas answered by a reassuring "Pur-
ow ! pur ow!" and they advanced a little
more.
They were now within easy reach, an
each imagined the cat had but a moment
more to live, whaled away, the ono with his
boot, the other with bis boot-jack.
The boot took Clark square in the mouth
demolishing his teeth, and the boot jack
came down on Thomas' bald head just as he
was in the midst of a triumphant "Ye-owl'
When lights were brought the cat had
disappeared, but the catastrophy was in op
posite corners of the room, with heels in the
air, swearing blue streaks.
