Mnywood.
" 'Hint's wliat he told nie.justln bo
many words," ftftld Mrs. Pennypaeker,
wlio slond on the threshold of her best
room Willi her head tied up hi a pooket
hand kerchief and a hair broom lu her
hand, wherewllh she gesticulated, after
a traglo fii8hlon,as she talked.while Miss
Maywood, tail and slender as a water
lily, stood in the hall, with a roll of
muslo under her arm, and her slight
figure wrapped in a shabby black shawl.
" And he's willing to pay my price.cabh
down, every Saturday night ; never at
tempted to beat me down a penny, if
you'll believe It, my dear."
" Why should he ?" said Ilonora.
" Most people do, my dear," said Mrs.
r . " A wrinkled old widow wo
man like who has her living to earn, is
most fair game for everybody. But he
never objected to my terms. A real
gentleman, my dear, every Inch of him.
But lie's a little particular, I'm afrrild."
" I suppose most bachelors are," said
Miss May wood, smiling.
" Yes, my dear, yes," nodded Mr?,
Penuypacker. " But this gentleman Is
beyond the average, I think."
"Aud if he Is?"
"Nothing," said Mrs. renuypacker,
making a dab with her broom-haudle at
a stray moth-miller tliat was fluttering
against the garnet damask window cur
tains ; "nothing except that one don't
know quite where to have him. He
drinks only Knglisu breakfast tea, aud
he wants his pie-crust made with the
best Alderuey butter Instead of lard, as
Is good euough for other people, and he
must have veutillatlou to all the win
dows, aud an open grate Instead of a
base-burning stove, and I hope you'll
not be ofleuded, my dear,but he particu
larly dislikes a piano."
"Dislikes a piano i"' said the little
music teacher, reddeuing iu spite of
herself.
" And he says, says he lI hope, Mrs
Peunypacker, that there's no piano iu
the house. ' A piano,' Bays he, 'plays
the deuce with my nervous system, with
its everlasting turn, turn 1' Those were
his very words, my dear. Bo I courte
sied, aud says I, 1 You'll not be troubled
with one here, sir.' And so, my dear,
I'll be grateful if you won't mind doing
your practlcin' until he's out for his
daily walk from one till three, just as
regular as the clock."
Miss Maywood looked piteously up
!n the old landlady's face.
" I will do anything to oblige you,
Mrs. Penny pucker," she said, earnestly;
" I havn't forgotten how much I am
Indebted to you, both in actuul money
aud in kinduess, which .money can
never repay."
Aud her soft blue eyes filled with
tears as she spoke.
" My dear, don't say a word," said
Mrs. Peunypacker, hastily. "You've
been sick, and you've got a little behind
hand, and its quite natural that you
should be a little low spirited now aud
then, but you mustn't get discouraged.
Things will look up after a while. And
you're quite welcome to stay ou here
until you're able to settle up your littla
account."
Ilonora May woou sighed, as she re
membered how often her little advertise
ment had been inserted In the daily
newspapers, without attracting the least
notice from the world of patrons and
pupils. There were so many capable
music teachers to give lessons at moder
ate prices now-a-days, and how was
any one to know how sorely she needed
the money V"
And, as the time crept on aud no
pupils came, Ilonora began seriously to
ask herself whether she should go out
lu some menial capacity or stay geuteely
at home and starve.
"Clothes, ma'am !"
Jlonora started from her reverie- as
the washerwoman's little girl bunged
herself, like a human battering rum,
up agaiust the door with a preposter
ously big basket ou her arm.
" Yes," said Ilonora, coloring. " Put
them down, Sally. But I I'm afraid
it isn't convenient to pay your mother
to-day."
" Mother didu't say uothin' 'bout the
pay," said Bally, wiping her forehead
with a whisk of her arm, and suillling
herself well nigh off her feet. " I wan
to leave the clothes with her 'umble
duly, and she 'oped they'd suit ; but it
was that damp and muggy on Monday
and Tuesday as starch wouldu't stick.
And she 'opes you'll excuse all mistakes
as they'll be done better next time."
"I dare say they are quite, right,"
suid Ilonora, with a little sigh, as she
marveled at this unexpected access of
courtesy on the purt of her- Milesiau
laundress.
' But when Bally had stumped off down
fctalrs, her flapping slippers beating a
sort of tattoo as she went, and Miss
Maywood took oil" t befringed towel that
covered the basket of clotliAi, she gave
a little start..
. " Bhirts," said Ilonora, "und socks
and turn-over collars, nunilipr sixteen,
and great big pocket-handkerchiefs, like
the sails of a ship, and white vests,
and gooduess me, what does it mean t
Mrs. Mulvey has Bent some gentleman's
wardrobe by mistake. I must send
these back nt once."
But then Miss Maywood looked at the
articles in grave consideration.
"I never had a brother," mused Mlas
Maywood; "and I can't remember my
father ; but of this lam quite certain,
if I had either one or the other, I should
thank any girt to mend thelrdllapldated
wardrobes, If they looked like tills.
And Mrs. Mulvey can't send before
night, and unfortunately I've nothing
to do, so I'll Just mend this poor fellow's
clothes, whoever he liiay be. A half
starved theological student, perhaps a
newspaper reporter, or a pale clerk,
under the dazzling skylight of some dry
goods palace. At all events he is worse
off tliau I am, for he can't mend his
own clothes aud I can."
And the smiles dimpled around llonc
ra May wood's little rosebud of a mouth,
us she sat down to darn holes, sew on
tapes, and insert patches.
" He'll never know who did It," said
Ilonora to herself; "but I dare say he'll
be thankful ; aud if one can get a chance
to do a little good in this world one
ought not to grudge one's time and
trouble."
And as Ilonora stitched away Blie
mused sadly whether or not she ought
to accept the position which had offered
Itself of assistant matron la an orphan
asylum, where the work would be most
unendurable, aud the pay next to noth
lug with no Sundays nor holidays, aud
a ladies' committee of three starched
old mulds to "sll" upon her the first
Friday of every month.
"I almost think I'd rather starve,"
said Ilonora. " But, dear me 1 dear me I
starving is a serious nusiness when one
comes to consider It face to face,"
Sally Mulvey came back puffing and
blowing like a human whale, in about
two hours.
" Mother says she sent the wrong
basket," said she breathlessly.
" I thought It very probable, Sully,"
said Miss Maywood.
"And mother's compliments," added
Sally, "and she can't undertake your
things any longer, Miss Maywood,
'cause she does a casli business, and
there ain't nothing been paid on your
account since last June."
Ilonora felt herself turning scarlet,
" I 'am very sorry, Sally," said she;
"tell your mother I will settle the bill
ns soon as I possibly cau."
Sally flounced out of the room red and
indignant, like an overcharged thunder
cloud ; and poor little Ilonora, dropplug
her head-in her hands, burst into tears.
" Pretty girl, that very pretty," said
Mr. Broderick, the old bachelor to his
landlady.
" Do you mean"
"I mean the young lady boarder of
yours that I see ou the stairs now and
then," said Mr. Broderick. " Nice figure
big soft eyes like a gazelle. Didn't
some one tell me that she was a music
teacher V"
" That's her profession," said Mrs.
Penuypacker. " But there ain't many
pupils as wants tuition, and, poor little
dear, she hus but a hard time of it."
"Humph!" grunted Mr. Broderick,
" What fools women are, not to have a
regular profession I If I had a daughter
I'd bring her up a self-supporting in
stitution." And Mr. Broderick disappeared into
his room in the midst whereof stood a
girl, with flapping sllppers,a pretentious
shawl and bonnet which had originally
been manufactured for a woman twice
her size.
" Who are your"' demanded Mr. Brod
erick. " Please, sir, I'm Sally the washer
woman's Sally," was the response.
" And what do you vunt here?" said
Mr. Broderick.
" Please, sir, I've come to bring your
things,," chattering otflier lesson like a
parrot. " And, please, sir, her 'umble
duty4 and she 'opes they'll suit, but it
was that damp and minify Monday and
Tuesday, as starch wouldu't stick ; and
'opes you'll excuse all mistakes'-as they
shall be done better next time,slr please
sir."
" Who ineuded 'em V" demanded Mr.
Broderick, whose hawk-eye had already
caught sight of the duiuty needlework
upon his garments.
" Nobody mended Via," said Sally.
" Aud mother Bays it is easy to see a3
the new gent is a bachelor, on account
of the holes in his heels and toes and
the strings off his dickeys.."
s' I can tell you who mended 'em,"
said Mrs. Penuypacker, "for I eee her
at it, the pretty dear Miss Maywood!
And says she, 'I dou't know whose
they are, Mrs. Pennypacker, but,' says
she, 'they needs mending, and a kiud
action never comes amiss.' No more it
does, sir, Lord bless her."
"Humph!" said Mr. Broderick;
"she's a regular scientist at the needle,
Is Miss MaywnodV Just look at that
patch, Mrs. Peunypacker! 4 Euclid'
Geometry' couldn't produre a slralghUr
line or truer angles. See the toe of that
stocking I It's like a piece of (ioblelin
tapestry. That's the way I like to fee
things done." '
And Mr. Broderick never rested until
he had been formally introduced to
Honora Maywood, and had thanked her
with equal.formallty for the good offices
she hud unwittingly rendered him.
It was a golden October evening that
Honora came down in the kitchen,
where Mrs. Pennypacker was baking
pies for her eccentric) boarder, with the
crusts made of the best.Alderney butter
instead of lard.
"Oh, dear! oh dear!" enld Mrs. Pen
nypacker. " What a thing it Is to be
au old bachelor !"
" He won't be an old bachelor 'much
longer," said Honoru, laughing aud col
orlng, as she laid her cheek on the good
landlady's cushioning shoulder.
" What do you mean V" said Mrs.
Pennypacker.
"He has asked me to marry him,"
Bald Ilonora, after only two weeks ac
quaintance. He Bays that a girl who
can mend stockings as I do, needs no
other test. Aud lie says he loves me;
aud and "
" Well V"
" I almost think I love him," whis
pered Miss Maywood.
And so the problem of Honora's soli
tary life was solved, all through the
magic Inllueuce of a " Neat Patch."
Benevolent Mr. Wixham.
AT a meeting of the Detroit Ladies'
Benevolent Society, held the other
day, it was resolved that a committee of
four lories be apponted to canvass for
donations, and in the course of their
perambulations this committee dropped
into Mr. Wlxham's office. He received
them as a gentleman should and after
the usual formalities one of them be
gan: " Mr. Wixham, we are asking aid for
benevolent purposes."
"Ah, yes. Benevolence is a bump
which should be cultivated. Are you
looking after poor folks V"
" We are."
" Very proper very proper. You've
all got children of your own V"
"Oh, yes."
" All of them are well fed, well cloth
ed and well cared for, are they V"
"Yes, sir."
" That's very proper. I presume their
stockings are properly darned, buttons
iu their places, and they say their
prayers when they go to bed ? Tell me
if I am correct ?"
The women looked at each other in a
sheepish way, and then at him, and one
of them Bald :
" We shall be thankful for any contri
bution." " Yes'm, yes'm. You don't want this
contribution for your own families, do
you V"
"No, sir!" answered four voices In
chorus.
" Well, I'm somewhat inclined to ben
evolence. Hardly a day passes that I
don't do something for charity. Here's
an old account against Mr. B. I know
he's hard up aud haviug a close time to
get along, and yesterday I canceled the
debt."
One of the cauvassers turned red,
white and blue, and looked out of the"
wiudow. That was her husbaud, but
Wixham did not kuow it.
"And yesterday I found a poor.forloru
looking little boy out here crying with
hunger aud cold. He said his name
M as Tommy , and he lived at 30
street. He hadn't been washed or comb
ed for a week, and I felt sad for him.
I was going to take him home aud feed
him but he slipped away."
Another woman suddenly looked out
of the window, and her pulse ruu up to
one hundred and twenty a minute, but
Wixham was as innocent as a lamb of
any knowledge that it was her boy.
" Then you won't uid m V" queried
the spokeswoman.
" Oh, yes, certainly I will. I was
simply figuring to see how much I
could spare. I Bigned a note with Mr.
C. last Fall, aud I had to pay it yester
day. That makes me feel rather poor."
The third woman didn't turn red, but
green, but Wixham couldn't have pos
sibly known that it was her husband,
you know.
"Let's see. I want to give you all I
can spare. Mr. I), on street,owes
me four months' Louse rent, and I'll
give you au order ou him for about
twenty dollars."
The four women rose up. They rush
ed in a Bolldbody for the door. They
went out in a heap. Some were red and
some were pale, aud all were mad.
They tried to speak, but they couldn't,
and as they hastened to get away from
each other, Wixham held up the half
written order and gasped :
" How very, very singular! Perhaps
they thought they couldn't collect the
money."

SUNDAY EEADIN3.
The Story of Stories.
Bev. Dr. Chamberlain, a missionary
In PerMa, has recently communicated
the following remarkable Incident from
his own experience :
" I wish I could take you to a scene in
the kingdom of Hyderabad, fourteen
years ago. There, in a city, a walled
town of iSfiOD inhabitants, the people
had risen in a mob to drive us out, be
cause we tried to speak of another God
than theirs. We had gone to the market
place, and I had endeavored to preach
to them of Christ and his salvation ; but
they would not have It.
They ordered us to leave the city at
once; but I had declined to leave uutil I
had delivered to them my message. The
throng was filling the streets. hey
told me If I tried to utter another word
I should be killed ! There was no res
cue; they would have the city gates clos
ed, and there should never any news go
forth of what was done. I must leave at
once, or never leave the city alive ! I
had seen them tear up the paving stones,
and fill their arras with them, to be
ready ; and one was saying to another,
1 You throw the first stone, and I will
throw the next.'
"In a way I need not stop now to de
tail, I succeeded in getting permission to
tell them a story before they stoned me,
and then they might stone me if they
wished. They were standing around
me ready to throw stones, while , I told
them the story of all stories the love of
the Divine Father that had made us of
one blood ; who ' so loved the world that
he gave his 'only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not
perish but have everlasting life.' I told
them that story of the life In the manger
at Bethlehem : of that wonderful child
hood; of that marvellous life; of those
miraculous deeds ; of the gracious words
that he spoke. I told them the story of
the cross, and pictured, in the graphic
words that the Master gave me that day,
the story of our Saviour nailed to the
cross, for them, for me, for all the world,
when he cried in agony, " My God, my
God, why hast thou forsaken me V
." When I told them that, I saw the
men go and throw their stones into the
gutter, and come back; and down the
cheeks of the very men that had been
nlnmnrlnir ,1-to lmi.laat- fnr mir Llrwwl T
saw the tears running and dropping up
on the pavement they liad torn up.
And when I told them how he had been
laid in the grave, and how after three
days he had come forth triumphant,
and had ascended again to heaven, and
that there he ever lives to make inter
cession for them, for us, and for all the
world ; and that through his merit
every one of them there might receive
remission of sins and eternal life, I told
them I had finished my story, and they
might Btone rue now.. "But, no! they
did not want to stone me now; they
had not known what a wonderful story
I had come there to tell them. They
came forward and bought Scriptures,
aud Gospels, and tracts, and paid the
money for them; for they wanted to
kuow more of the wonderful Saviour."
It Makes it all Wrong.
Please, father, is it wrong to go pleas
uring on the Lord's day? My teacher
savsitis."
" Why, child, perhaps it is not exactly
right."
" Then it is wrong, is it not, father Y
" O, I don't quite know that ; If it is
only once in a while."
" Father, you know how fond I am of
Bums.!"'
"Yes, John, I'm glad you are; I
want you to do them well, and be quick
and clever at figures; but why do you
talk of sums just now '(
" Because, father, if there's one little
figure put wrong in a sum, U waken it
alt tirontj, however large the amount
is."
" To be sure, child, it does."
"Then please, father, don't yoy think
if God's day'is put wrong,now and then,
It makes it alt wrong!''''
" Tut wrong, child how ?"
" I mean, father, put to a wrong.use,"
" That brings it very close," said the
father' as if speaking to himself; and
then added, " John it Is wrong to break
God's holy Sabbath. He has forbidden
it and your teacher was quite right."
" Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy."
2" In the man whose childhood has
known caresses there is always a fibre
of memory that can be touched to geutle

Everyman must work at something.
