Mother smiled 'griinly„.. but .Tom was so
evidently bent on his " experiment,," ,as he
called it, that she gave up,the argument.
"You can dance, if you're ready' to

Tom's face fell it little at this question.
" Well," said he, " I can't say 'exactly; I

" What!" said mother, opening, her. ..eyea;
," why, you never Mean to say, Tam, that
you haven't spoken to her yet?"
"Not yet," answered Toni cheerfully:—
" Tinie enough for that, you know, after I
had Spoken to you."
Mother, as a .minister's widow; was not
much given to the idle mirth that' is as the
crackling of thorns oxide a pot, but now
she leaned back and laughed till the, tears
stood in her eyes.
"Well," she said, "if it • WaS anybody

were never like other people, and yuuineder
will be, Tom Dean. But at least you, have

" Oh, yes," answered Tom; " but,if "you
will excuselne, Aunt -Anne, I woul 'rather
not say anything about her just yet, for, if
—if anything should happen, it wouldn't be
pleasant for either party, you know." With
which veiled allusion to his possible'rejec
,tion Tom took his hat and left the room.-.
Our household was rather queerly putlo•
get her. There, was 'no particular reason
why I should have been of it at all, for I
was not really related' to Tom, nor even to
" mother," as I called her, though! am sure
we were as'dear to each other as. any moth
er and daughter could be. • She was the sec
ond Wife of my father, who, like most min
isters, bad been richer in • grace than in
goods,
and he left us at his death with very
little to live on. Then it was that Tom
Dean had come forward and insisted on giv
ing a home to his aunt, and to me, whom
he had Scarcely seen a dozen times in his
life before. That was exactly. like Tom—
" queer Tom, Dean," as his friends Were
fond of saying, "Who never did anything
like anybody else." All I bad to do was to
go where, mother went, and while she' gave
her. energies to the housekeeping I .gave
mine to growineup, which by this time I
had pretty well accomplished. I knew that
mother had spoken honestly, believing that
such a step would not be for his happiness;
bat was not he the hest judge of that?„l
knew' him, if 'reflection should bring hint
around to her opinion, to be perfectly capa
ble of quietly sacrificing his own wishes for,
'tiny sake, who had not the_ shadow of a
chum on him; who,
it must be my part to pre
vent his own kindness being turned against
'him now. What could I do? Draw and
sing and play tolerably, but not in a manner
to compete with the hosts that would be in
the field against tne; Literature? I had
read so many stories - whose heroines, with.
a turn of the pen,
dashed into wealth and
fame! That would be very nice, only—l
was not the least little bit 'literary. The
flue arts then being out of the question for
me; what remained ? There was some clerk
ship,
o'r it place in some family, and—and
there Was Will Broomly! •
That may seem like going away from the
point, but it was,not. was matter-of-fact,
but.l could see well enough what was going
on right under my eyes, and had tt pretty'
clear idea of what was bringing Will to the
bouse so often as he had taken to coming
lately.' There wits a "situation," then, that
would give me - the home-life I liked best
and felt myself best suited for, but—Would
it answer in other respects? I overcast the
long seam I was Retying twice over, I ,was
so busy trying to make up my mind whether
I liked Will enough to. Fels my whOle life
with.him; and even then I had not come to
any decision, when„l -was called down to
Lefty Walters. ' -
Letty was the prettiest, I think, 'of all my
friends, '..and, certainly the liveliest. Tom
clilled" her the ' tonid,'":'and used to laugh
heartily at her bright speeches. I, suppose,
it W . llB this that mute 'mother fix on Letty as

was playing the enemy's game. ' '
‘! There's sernething in that that never et

".Bnt'the ways of my time are old-fash

' " Of 'eourse," repeated Tom absently.
" Not that I have any such idea," resumed
mother,. growing Warmer; "I have said,
and say again, that 4-to bring a perfect
etranger under this roof is not my opinion
of you, Tom."
1 felt my mother's words like so many
pins rind needles, for T'oin was looking med
itatively across at me, and, though that was
just away of his, it seemed now -as if he
was reading in my face that the opinion was
mine;aud that I had been meddling in what
did not concern me. I felt myself, for very
vexation, getting redder every moment, till
it arew:;intolerable.
-" it so warm here;" said for an .ex

' "Well,' said Tom, hesitatingly again,
"it's with me."
."11nw very nice 1"' I exclaimed. "How
Boon can I have it ?"-
"The sooner the better, so far as I am
concerned," , said Tom, and with, that he
turned around and looked at me, and direct
ly I met his eyes I knew somehow, all in a
moment, what' it was he meant; and I knew,
too, both that I could not have passed all
my life with Will Broomly, and why I could
not.
I,am sure Letty Walters, who interrupted
Us just then, must have thought, wits
were wandefing that evening, and 'indeed
they were: for I was completely dazed with
the sudden turn things had taken. But
Toni, who had, the advantage of me there,
took it quite c,oolly, and laughed and talked
with Letty just the same as ever till she
went, away. -

in the twilight.

A great tide of life flow's resistlessly to its
death. What in God's name are they fight
ing for? The privilege of pleasing an ap
petite, of conforming to a social ustet,e, of
tilling sixty thousand homes with shau - e and
sorrow, of loading the public with the bur
den of pauperism, of crowding our priSon
houses with felons, of detracting from the- -

The prosperity of the liquor interest, cov
ering
.
every, department of it, depends en
tirely on the maintenance of this army.' It.
cannot live without it. It never did live
without it. - So long as the liquor interest
maintains its present prosperous condition
it will cost America the sacrifice of sixty
-thousand men every year. The effect is in
separable from the cause. The cost to the
eountry;of the liquor traffic is a sum'so stu
'pen'dous that, any figures which we should

the wild waste' of vital and financial resour
ces, make an aggregate so vast—so ineeleu-
lably vast—that the only - wonder is that the
American people do not risena one man and
declare that this great curse shall exist no
longer. Dilettante ronventions,are held on
the subject of peace by men and Women who .
find it necessary to fiddle to keep themselves
awake. A hue-and-cry is raised about wo
man suffrage, - as if any wrong which may
be involved in woman's lack of the Suffrage
could be compared to the wrongs attached
to theiiquor interest! ' - •
Does, any sane woman doubt that women
are suffering a thousand,. times more from
rum than front any political disability?'
The truth is that there is no question be
fore the American people to-day thntbegins
to Match in .importance the temperance
question. The question of American - sla
very was never anything but a baby by the
side of this; and we prophesy that ',within
ten years,' if not , within five, the whole
country will be awake to it and divided up
omit. The organizations Of theliquor in
terest, the Vast funds at its ;command, the
nniversal feeling among those whose busi
ness is pitted against the national prosperity
and the public morals—these are enongli to
show that, bpon one side of this matter,' at
least, the presen.condition ,of things and
the social and pod political questions that lie :in
l i
the immediate fut. re are apprehended. The
liquor interest dinws there is to he a great
struggle, and -is preparing'to meet it. Peo
ple both in- this country and in 'Great Brit
ain are beginning to see the enormity of this
business—are begin ningito realize that Chris
tian civilization is actually poisoned at its
fountain, and that there can be no purifica
tion of it until the source of the poison is
dried up.
The country is to be sincerely congratu
lated on the fact that the wine interest of
the United States does not promise much.—
Little native wine, after all eur painstaking,

California wines are a disappointment and

, the whisky 'interest, claiming 'to' be holier
and more respectable than that. They are
all to beJuipped.together. They are all op
posed to sobriety, and in the end we shall
find them all fighting aide by side for' exist
ence against the determined indignation of
a long-ma:deg people: ' '

do know that a wine glass stops the mouth

hold- it. A wine-drinking clergyman is a.
soldier distil:Med. •He ix not only-not worth
a straw in the fight—he is a part of:the int..'
pedimenta of the temperance army. We
have a good many such to carry who ought
to be ashamed of themselves, and who very
soon will be. Tlnperance laws are being
passed by' the v rious Legislatures which
they lutist sustainor go over,. soul and body,

lowing thrilling account •of the 'la - tanner in
which a brave little aid in that State saved
133 rivcs - er - ritt le *sisters and brothers:
‘"l'homas Ycife and wife and a family of
sinallchildren settled in II& county some
thinginore than a year ago, and being poor
they, after many hardships, erected a small
thvellia4 and cleared a few acres of land,
but they were in the wilderness ten miles
from neighbors. A. few 'weeks ago the fath
er and mo'lhcr left their family, consisting
of a girl aged twelve years, one aged nine
years, and two other children aged respect-.
ively three years and thirteen months, to go
on a trip to the settlement to get a cow and
bring in some potatoes to plant. After. the
parents had been gone a few hours the house
took fire, and the oldest girl immediately
rushed to the roof with water, but not• be
ing able to remove the shingles,. she could
do nothing to stay the flames, which gained
rapidly, spreading on the inside of the roof
until, bursting through, they drove her frotn
her work. The heroic girl now turned her
attention to saving her brothers and sisters.•
Going to Ihe door of the building, she found
that the child next to her own age hatl.ot
out of the house, bringing the baby with
her, but the little three-year old had'crciugh
cd under a shaving horse in the farther cor
ner of the room. There being no chamber
floor, the tire was dropping from the {roof
between the child and the door, and when
asked to come out it refused to . do so, say
ing, 'I am safe ihere, the Aire don't drop
" Our little heroine hesitated only a mo
ment, but rushing through the falling em
bers brought the little one to a safe place,
both haring their. clothes - somewhat burnt..
But now comes the hardest part of the task
before her. Scantily clothed and with uff
food, she tookthe babe in her arms, and
with the other children started on the trail
for the settlethent, After going a fen/ miles
she encountoted It rapid stream, swollen' by
the spring, rains, so that in fording it the '
water came up her at mpits. She carried
the babe across, and then the litle three
year old, and lastly half-led and half-carried
her ohlt r sister through the water to the:oth
er bank.' ''Three times during the.remainder
of the day she all uggled across the swollen
streams in her way, until night set in with
the deep forest surrounding her.
" Cold, wet, hungry,• she thought of
place to camp, and by good fortune found
an old camp left, fty• the - Indians upon which
abont one-half of the roof still remained.—
Under this she placed her little Bock, and
then ehllected liinehOugis'and • Made a rude
bed. I",jaeing the little one in the middle,
tbe,girl stripped oft' her dreSs and spread it
over the children, then covered them with'
boughs to keep them from the chilly. night
air, anti sat down beside them, to watch
through that long; cold night., comforting,
the little mitt When it cried, and ‘speating,
words . of cheer to.the older ones'. The long,
dreary hours of night Ityagged slowly , by,
- and at the first peep of day she resuibed her
doilsome march, and had nearly reached the
'first settler when site met her parents
rc
turning.
"An older and a• Wiser head Might 'have
found an easier way out of the • dilemma,
but we feel certain that ini" one ',could , have
acted braver or 1011.14 endured more than the
little daughter of Moulin.' Nrelfe.'.!,

His neighbor living several- miles - off sees

story that omes taus so often that we are
sure that a large amount of "swindling is
carried on in this-mafiner. Being ire Wash
ington a while ago, kve had an 'lnterview
1 1
with the Hon. Commissioner of Patent
with a view to see what could be done t •
stop this now grevious nuisance. The Co -
missioner is entirely in _sympathy' with lh
farmers, and is ready to do all in his power
to save them from ' imposition. He told us
several things -in relation , to the, matter
which it is not advisable to publish,ai it wo'd
)
put the rogues n their guard. We give
our friends the following advice:' In She
first place do no be frightened. Most far
mers are willing to make almost any sacra=
lice in order to hvoid anything that looks
like a lawsuit, and these;awindlers know it.' -.
Acting upon this knowledge, they bluster
and threaten. Let them blow. They can
not under any circumstances bring you in
to court under several months, and !` bluff"
is their chief reliance. If a man claims
that you have infringed his patent, demand
to see his.patent. If; he cannot show it or
give its date of issue, or the name in which
it was issued do not bother with him. De
mend the date and if you got it tell him to '
call again. Pay no money until you have
written to the Pateuticket„...We_shingtron,
to ascertain if such a patent was issued ou -
such a date. ' Be particular about the date.—
Do not fear that, being an unknown indi
vidual, the application will be unnotieed.
,It is a part of the business of the office to
answer Just Such letters. If the pretended
owner of the patent is a fraud, he, - finding
j
that You are not friglitene and know What
you ere' about, will not 'rouble you ,any •
more. Still there are c sin which_ fart
mers may have infringe(' upon the patent
right of an inventor.' Publishers tire l some-, ,
times imposed upon by, persons whci send ,
theM drawings of things that have already
been patented. An honest owner,of, , a pat
ent is likely to be a fair an, and when you
l
Jiro fully convinced tha you have unwit
tingly trespassed Upon his rights," there Will
generally be no difficulty -in effecting a set- -
tietbent. It is only the pretenders who bluff
and bluster. Do not be afraid of any who ,
-try to-intimidate, but adopt the course we
have here counseled.—Ameria a ituricattu
