They were swei childish mysteries, iler hair was a beautili brown, soft as fiue silk. Once it sjrew eigl inches in length and her mother cut It lest ii rapid growth rob her of strength of body. I form, Alma was perfect. She was a mode and for so wee, marvelously developed, si could walk everywhere and say an; thing. She had a sweet baby voice and sa: many cute things. If her mother went to il a bit of house work, she would say, "I will U tbHt." and li one ucjian wrmuS i?uC say. '"Irene will write." she called licrse "Baby Irene." She uever seemed to care fi Alma. She had a little doll chair aud a tab of which she was passionately foml. St did not like fruits nor (lowers. A bit i ? banana now and then was the only fruit sti ever ate.

She was so bright that it dl not seem that the end was near. The troubl was pneumonia or congestion of the June aud she died with something of a congesilv spasm yesterday morning at 2:30 o'clock. , half hour before her death sne eanea io ut mother, who was close by. several time She did not suffer long before the little splr took Its flight. She was a flower too frail If earth and she has.gone to bloom iu Ood's fa! land of day. She was small but she tilled a large place 1 the hearts of the Inmates of her homi She was exceedlbgly a flection ate and lavishe love upon her mother, father, little slsu and graudtather. Mr. Compton, her grand fi ther, Is also small in statute and this seeme a bond between them and they were grei friends. lie <iot His Reward. A young man was employed by large commission firm in New Yor city during the late civil war, to negot ate with a certain party for a lot c damaged beans. The beans wer purchased, delivered and spread ou upon the upper lloor of the buildin occupied by the firm. Men were employed to turn thei over aud over, and to sprinkle tber with a solution of soda, 30 as to in prove their appearance and rendt them more salable. A large lot of tb first quality of beans was then pui chased ; some of the good beans wer first put into barrels, then the barrel were nearly filled with the poor ones after this the good oues were again pu on the top and the barrels headed u for sale. v The employer marked the barrel: "Beans?Al." The clerk seeing this said : ''Do you think, sir, that it i right to mark those beans A1 ?" The employer. retorted sharply "Are you head of the firm ?" The clerk said no more. The barrel ing and heading went on. When a was ready, the beans (many hundred of barrels) were put on the market fo sale. Specimens of the best qualit were shown in the office to buyers. At length a shrewd purchaser cam in (no man is so sharp in business bu he will often meet bis equal), exam ined tbe samples in the office, inquire the price, aud then wisheJ to see th stock in bulk. The clerk was ordere to go with the buyer to the upper lol aud show him the stock. Au ope; barrel was shown apparently of th same quality of the sample. The buye then said to the clerk : "Young man, tbe samples of bean shown me are of the first quality, an it is impossible to purchase beans an} where iu the market for the price a which you offer them ; there is som< thing wrong here. Tell me, ate thes beans the same quality throughout th entire barrel as theappear on the top ? The clerk now found himself in strange position. He thought, "Sha! I lie for my employer, as be undoub edly means I shall, or shall I tell th truth, come what will?" He decide for tbe truth, and said. "No, sir, they are not." "Then,*" said the customer, "I d not want them," and he left. The clerk entered the office. Th employer said to him : "Did you se that man those beans?" Hp aniil "\n air" ' Why not!" "Well, sir, the mac askeil me those beans were of the same qualit, through the entire barrel as they aj peared on the top. I told him the were not. He then said : 'I do uc want them,' and left." "Go to the cashier," said the en: ployer, "aud get your wages ; we wan you no longer." He received his pay and left the o flee, rejoicing that he had not lied fc the purposes of abetting a sordid a\ ariciousness, and benefiting an ui principled empi03'er. Three weeks after this the liri sent after the young clerk, entreate him to come back again into their en ploy, aud ottered him three huudre dollars salary more per year than the had ever before given him. Aud thus was his honesty aud trutl fulness rewarded. The firm knew an telt that the man was right, althoug apparently they had lost largely hy h honesty. They wished to have hit again in their employ, because the knew that they could trust him.au never sutler through fraud aud dece] tion. They knew that their linancii interests would be safe in his custod; They respected aud honored thi young mau. ? Youtii Age and Knowledge."Yes, sir," said Jones to Smith, "j men grow in age and experience th( advance in knowledge." "I don't think so," replied Smith. "Don't think so? That's rath' singular. The opinion I hold on tl subject is tlie universal opinion. "It may be, but 1 have my o\\ opinion, nevertheless, and it is th the younger we are the more v know. When 1 was a youthl kne twice as much as my father. Now am aged and I don't know half much as my sou. The newspapers of a town are i looking glasses. It is here you s yourself as others see you. Yc smile on them aud they smile back you ; you frown on them and you a repaid in kind. They are the r flex of a town. If a town is doii business the newspaper will show in its advertising columns. If tl merchauts are spirtless, shiftless ft lows, whose stores are a jumble an jam the newspaper will show it I the lack of space they take. I f y< want the world to know that you ha1 a live town you can only let it 1 known through its newspapers. 1 ' l\ - I \ The Whi<*|>frins FoolpriiilM. ! ' oh-h Ivlriy, wli?*r? are i you>*L J . . ! pi "HerK mother," came a shrill little ! : - .1... j VUll'f IHIIll HIV Ui?^rk ju.n. ? "Come here, Kddy; I want you to' v do something for me." ;rI Then the back door opened, and; ,l|Mrs. Taylor heard the soft thud of 16 j bare feet along tbe passage. But; le'when Kddy entered the sitting-room, j -"jand stood by mother's sewing-table,I ie she only said, "Why, Kddy. what's (i: the matter?" |e Now tbere were no cuts or bumps -o'or bruises about the little boy. Why ?i should the mother think anything was ^ the matter? Because his brown eyes, iK which generally looked right up at you " lIKe L\> U nine uuua 11%> uut ?* 14 , ^ now hail an uuea?y look; neither here y. nor there, but away. <i "Nothing's the matter, said Eddy, j? looking out of the window; "What did d you call me for mother?" if ?She had wanted him to run down to the village postoflice, to mail a letter, ,e but the letter was forgotten now. 3' Mother was silent for a few moments ; then seing something between her table and the door, she spoke : Ji "I am sorry my little boy has dis? obeyed me about going to the apple g" bin without leave." Eddy gave a little ? start. "The reason God put me here as your mother, Eddy, is because he ,e thinks I know better what you ought ? <lr? iliim vnu do vourself." j Eddy did not answer. He was asky ing himself how mothers knew everytiling a fellow did. '* "I am specially sorry that you should n disobey me by sueakiug through the o coal-room window," said Mrs. Taylor, [j l,I would much rather have you say, e. 'I won't mind you,' and go in before d my eyes, than go in by telling me a d lie." |s "Why, mother, I didn't say?" bee gan Eddy, glad of a chance to defend * himself. 9. "Do you think you only talk with it your lips?" interrupted his mother. [J "What do you suppose has whispered to me that you have been in the apple D cellar, aud that you weui through the coal room?" tr "I can't imagine," said Eddy, lionestly. kt "Look behind you." Tha liftlo hotr tiirnoil aiifl tliprp hp. tween him and the door, were tive coaldusty footprints on the white matting! Mother could not help smiling at the k look of-surprise aud dismay on the lit. tie face, but it was a rather mournful j smile. "Do you thiuk we can ever do wrong . Eddy, and not leave marks of it somer where?" she asked. "And, oh ! my little boy, the marks that sin leaves are on your heart, which ought to be ~~ clean aud white for God's eyes, instead of being all tracked over by wrong do r iQg'" "Won't they come out?" asked Eddy. He meant the footprints on the matting, but his mother was thinking ,e about those other marks, when she s. said, "The blood of Jesus Christ clean' seth from all sin. You must ask him _ to forgive you, Eddy, and to takeaway p your guilt, and to make you hate sin, which leaves such ugly footprints on i' your little life." '' And then for a punishment, and for ls a reminder, mother kept the footprints on the sitting-room floor that whole ' "lay, so that Eddy might see them and , remember how every wrong deed left I dark stains on his little heart. r y A Few Hints About Konom. Wheu you plant roses, you want an ? abundance of flowers, aud to obtain 11 them, you must give proper care. The tirst thing to be considered is tlie 13 soil. If not a deep, porous loam, it e. must be made so by removing the soil , aud lillingin, or by spading to a depth 1 ofa foot and a half and mixing, with D the original soil, well-rottefi manure e from the cow stable, and sand if the r soil is too heavy, or mauure, woodashes aud clay if too light aud sandy. ^ Never plant iu cold, stiff clay, aud give f a top dressing of well-rotted manure 11 Iu planting roses, as well as all other J" plants, dig the holes large enough that e the roots may all be straighteued out; * if bunched up, they wiil only decay and your plant will stand still and die. ** As roses produce their blossoms on the new growth, they should be pruned iu the spring. Hoses that bloom more '? ti an once during the summer should 11 be pruned after blooming, as they wiil inducenewgrowth, consequently mote blossoms. People who are generous 0 with their roses will have more than those who ure stingy, for when a rose is removed and a piece of the branch *' with it, new prowth is started and several roses will take the place of the one given away. I have reference to . the monthly roses. . Keep your roses well cultivated, as ^ this opens the soil to the dew, light J" and air. The more thoroughly and y frequently the soil is worked the more ^ thriftv will Im f ho rtluntu ami hlncunitic Never allow seed capsules to mature, l" as this weakens the plant. 11 The roses are among the most de. sirableas they are not only beautiful and fragrant, but also so free flowering. >r They are hardy as far north as New r~ York, and furthur north may be protected with evergreen boughs. d i- Kggs are useful iu the following apd plications: "A mustard plaster made y with the white of an egg will not leave a blister. A raw egg, taken iminedii ately, will carry down a fishbone that d cannot be extracted. The white skin ll thiit linttu iu iK^ftil ?innlir**i is tiou to aboil. White of egg, lieaten 11 up with loaf sugar and lemon, relieves y hoarseness, a teaspoonful taken once d every hour. An egg in the morning [>- in a cup of cotl'ee is a good tonic. *1 ' Y> it us " _i_l " PLOWS! PLOWS!
