The past winter had been one of un- h usually hard work, but not without pe- ' rnninrv returns.so that when he was eri- ^ ouslv threatened with paralysis of the 1 throat, and upon consulting an eminent v physici n was told that rest and abso- S( lute silence were his only hope he felt S that he had earned his vacation, but at S r rather high price. He was ordered to v make no vocal sound, as his woinout muscles were to be left entirely alone to n recuperate for at least three months. If S( V.o Viorl nnvthino- to S:lV it lllUSt 1>C dollC n in writing, but not :i word on pain of *5 entire lo^ of speech. As tne summer h vacation was at hand lie selected a home a in the country as his place of exile, for v when one has friends one must talk. r< The choice was a wise one, for the farmer and his wife were quiet, intelligent people, whose children were all '' married and in homes of their own. S The house was pleasantly situated near a river, so there was plenty of fishing aud 3' boating. To a man so long deprived of S sport of this kind there was a boyish zest (* in renewing it, for life had not had much n play in it for him, but n:ul ucen niaue up * of work. In his struggle for a place in S life he had become rather cynical, especially so about women, as he knew practi- * cally nothing about them. His theories about them were almost heathenish, but a they were only theories. He disliked the n ?ex on what is vaguely called "general c p-inciples,"'and shunned them, one and c all. On his arrival he was given the 0 choice of two rooms, one large, the other ^ somewhat smaller; true to his manhood, " he took the biggest. More room for 0 boots to stand round in and to scatter g i:i._ 1? l. ? I 1) pipes ttDU SUl'U IJ&K luauij ucivuyju^n. i He had been pleasantly established with *his books, fishing-rods, cigars and all c those things which seem necessary to 11 P man who is reaching that period of bach- 0 elorhood called confirmed. Before his coming all the arrangements *( for his stay had been made by letter, and c on his arrival, tablets presented with the ^ request written to be Bhown to his room * made the good lady of the house suppose he was deaf and dumb, which was just 3* to his mind, for he did not want "to be bored with the * woman's curiosity." If he made an ex- ^ * - - - . planation he would have to answer innumerable questions; if lie did not it 11 would be natural for her to come to the ^ conclusion she had. 91 As the days of July became hotter and 11 the fishing began to pall the most interesting books had been read, he began to weary of his euforced silence, nnd longed . for something to break the monotony. ( Before long he had it. One day Mr. a Grey drove up to the gate from the sta al tion with a trunk in the wagon behind V and a young woman on the 6eat beside N him. When Mr. Spencer looked out it . was not with a smiling countenance, but rather a cross one, for his seclusion would be intruded on. Nevertheless, he watched the process of alighting and removing the heavy trunk with that interest b^red people watch anything that 1^. ir something new. He muttered someBgp/'' thing about "scrawny, faded,"' as the j, - young women was helped down, and re- !' nmorl tn liia ninp Laura Hyde had come to Mr. Grey's to recuperate after a severe winter of teach- ff Hp ing vocal music in the public schools of ^ the same city cf which Mr. Spencer was a resident and strange as it may seem, for w afe: the same thing. Iler voice had become o' so impaired with overwork thai she was ' j threatened with the total loss of it. Her ^ & ', | doctor had commanded entire silence i r: through th? summer, plenty of fresh air j and wholesome food as the only means ' w oi cure, me poor giri couiu see m> j S$<J way to accomplish this, but she resolved gj " to throw herself on the generosity of the rrr " Greys, as Mrs. Grey was a relative of licr mother, explaining the whole situation. . They beinggood, charitable people, took i Sl her in for the least possible pay, for she I " refused to come unless she were permit- i ted to pay something, however small the to Hjv amount. j pi Mr. Spencer went down to tea in a self- | ish furmc of mind, wishing that j ni that woman had not intruded on his do- , main, but when he saw how tired, worn ' pi and spiritless the obnoxious person j sl looked he relented somewhat and went i ol through an introduction (written on the j s; lauieisj witn :is inucu grauiuiisuuss ;is uu ; could command. lie noticed M'ss Ilydc | a| only answered remarks by a movement ; a] of the head, and heard Mrs. Orev ex- jv 5^5 plaining in her kindly way all about his c, own affliction?" Deaf and dumb, poor | thing. Not a bit of trouble, but he does smoke dreadfully.*' j Laura was given the little room re- j jeetedby him and was as quiet a neigh- j , ' bor as a man could wish. ' A muu of Mr. Spencer's habits could ; not be expected to take much interest in a neighbor. The only thing that struck e him was that she seemed to be that rare n anomaly?'8 woman who could hold her j 'l ti,. v.,,- u,.? iu?in <r bUUgUU. 11U liVl IUUV vt IXIo j !&>- thought; merely bowed when parsing011 t: the stairway or in the hull. 1 s< For some time she moved about the j house listlessly, with a tired, worn look t fi that added to her twenty-four years ; but : H with good foo l, fresh air and rest she i :n began in a few weeks to feel the iu- i ri fluence of the place, and her expression n changed to a brighter, re-ted one. which i a at least made her pleasant to look at. , The only thing that puzzled Mr. Spen- ! j, cer was, he had never heard her voice. ,t _ He had heard Mrs. Grey hold long con- tl versations with her 011 many subjects of ,[ domestic economy. Once or twice he j n himself had been the topic of con versa- : sj tion, but not one word in reply did he j hear Miss Hyde say. She surely must have said something, for .Mrs. Grey said, j , ] "Laura, you are too hard on him. He isn't an old man, about thirty-five, an 1 not so selfish as you may think if we on y knew him. And, my clear, lie c an't tak r the same interest in things that a man ! | who isn't deaf could. I've 110 doubt he | would lend you any of his books if he ... knew you wanted them." There was a j 1 reply to this which he di 1 not cati h. for : it brought a laugh and reply from Mrs. I Grey, who said: "Well, it may be as you | say, when men spend aii their time thiuk- j ing and working for themselves they forget that others may suffer for what they have in abundance and think 110th- j ** ing or it." Not longaf:cr 4his conversation took place Mr. Spencer started for a t( long day on the river, equipped with fish- j " ing-rods and lunch basket. In the even- ( ing as he was returning home, ' *"! when yet two miles from it, row- j C1 ing leisurely, he saw Miss Hyde j walking along the river bank, stopping ' now and then to look about her. He ; 7* pulled to the shore, and presenting his tablets, on which were written: "Willi* you not row home, Miss Hyde, the rest of the way? You look warm and tired." ! She answered by writing: "I will be ; glad of a chance to go so pleasantly. I 1 have lost my way, I think." With his ! =>' assistance she got in. As she sat drawing her haud through the water he got ' ? a look at her. Looks were all he got, 11 for not a word was exchanged during the ride. "She thinks me deaf and : dumb," he said to himself, -'audi shall ' not undeceive her, but await further de- , F velopments." Is v She pointed to the sunset, nodded her m head, and smiled, to which he answered j ra *in the same way. Various objects of j ttl itercst were discussed in this silent , T 1. lanncr, so that when he came to the j J -.1 ?i,?? ;?

After this they were on familiar crms, so that when September eamo A , lieir acquaintance had progressed iipidly through the medium of tlie iblets. On Miss Hyde's returning to -| er school he could hardiv persuade j t)K. unself that he should miss one : nL, f the obnoxious sex so much j /?,? le considered it rather strange that she i ()f ad never told him in any of their "diajgues" where her home was. She liad ?r|l{ ot done so because he had never asked, .,t(, ut said to herself, '"If he cared to know ()f e would ask. 1 will not force my conli- ! 0f; encc on any one.'' When she went j tir(. either knew where the home <>i me ino iher was, and they parted, as they sup- cj,., osed, never to see each other again. inil' he returned to her school rested and re- ]ctt tored. lie stayed until the last of Or- tioi aber, when he followed, and, as the a|)C hysieian had said, had entirely rccov- the red. ext Thanksgiving afternoon the matinee jia, as"()livette."andashe was a little out of a|,| pints, the natural feeling of men withut family ties on holidays, Mr. Spencer xvi> oncluded to go. the After being shown to his scat he idly ()|jj joked over the house, but saw no ac- tail uamtances. Just behind him lie heard . n(j soft, familiar voice say: ''Sue, it is he."' jt j Who," asked Sue. "Whv, Mr. Spcn- 0r - - . er, tlic ucai ana uimu> p-nntuwu Mu as so kiiid to me Inst summer.

Sue answered. "He looks w], nil furl His <hin is erettinir double. Spp Ie must be a very old bachelor. I do wa ish he would turn around ?.0 I could car' 2e him better." At this point Mr. ,nc pencer did turn around, and gave Miss are ue a look which made her ask in a ]eu hisper: "Is he really deaf, Laura? lie f,0 joked wonderfully knowing, like he rua light have heard me." "Guilty con- iK.c :ience," said Laura. "Didn't I say he m;s ever spoke a word all summer, and lie m-t > as deaf ss a sphynx. I do wonder if fjlc e will remember me.

After giving her facts of an, tic ea>e, he said: "Now, 1 hope you will 0f argive me for any mortification I have Coi; aused you." Said Laura: "I don't hju now how much I have to forgive until ?>s| think it over."

The catalogue the sale makes a book of about a hund closely printed pages, and is a nument of the careless habits which iracleri/e the ordinary patron of the va ii pouch. The average number of ^'c ers which fail to reach their destinat because of defect in the address is . mt 4,000,000 annually. The use of 101 "special request'' envelope and the cn ension of the free-delivery service, e reduced the number to a consider- ft" e extent, and the annual increase in il ' id letters now is not to be compared h the increased number mailed. Of an number received at the dead-letter w< ce, a larsre proportion con.i ? i-i. 1 1? ,L-c i money, uraii;*, uunu?, ;i , I other evidences of value, and wi s a remarkable fact that of the 10,000 so forwarded here for want of any >erscrij?tion, two-thirds at least are in business men. This is accounted in the fact that the person who sends nev by mail generally tak s extra care see that it is properly addressed when .j does send it. while the business man, s1' ug the mails as a daily means for 80 sending of money, becomcs careless, ho 111 fifty to sixty per cent, of all let- au > forwarded to the dead-letters ofiice tli 1 their way to the person for whom ill y are intended, or are sent back to sender. The others, if of no value, ab destroyed. That so many letters, ric ich to the ordinary observer would gr m totally unintelligible, find their y to the addresses is due to the s?, .. u-liioli i? liikcn to exhaust every nns before giving up the chase. There received an average of about 1,000 ers daily, which have been forwarded in postmasters who are unable to d the writing on the envelope, or . ! :ause some part of the address was J0 ising. Sometimes a Avritcr will forto put the name of the town on ov letter he sends; again lie fails s'' designate the State. Then the ',r tem of nhonetic soellinc adopted by er writers is extraordinary.

The reason why some people fail to ake good butter is readily explained by visit to their cellars or milk rooms, in le unpleasant smells from decaying subances. The fault is sometimes in the ty storehouse. Fresh meat should not q any account be kept in the same comirtment with milk, cream or butter, he meat will retain its freshness longer, ut it will be because the decay has en;red the milk or butter. Some years ago steward in a public institution received itc on Saturday night some meat which as on the verge of spoiling, lie placed in the refrigerator where there was also nrock of excellent butter. As the meat as not wanted until Monday, he visited then and" was surprised to find it apftrently even more fresh than it was hen received.

The thimble is a Dutch invention that as first brought to England in 1G93 by tie John Loftin, who began its manufacirc at Islington, near London-, gaining hereby both honor and proiit. Its name as derived from the words thumb and ell, being for a long time called tliumle, and only lately thimble. Old recrds say that thimbles were first worn on he thumbs; but wc can scarcely conceive ow they could be of much use there. f u'nrn mnrln nf hr.iQQ nnfl on only, but of late years steel, silver, old, horn, ivory, and even pearl and lass have all been used for making thimles. I saw some very beautiful ones in hinn, that were exquisitely carved, of earl, and bound with gold, and the end J Iso of gold. A thimble owned by the queen-consort f Si:.:n is shaped like a lotus bud, this, eing the loyal llower of that country, nd almost everything about the court earing, in a greater or less degree, some upress of the lotus. This thimble is of old, thickly studded with diamonds lat are so arranged as to form the lady's rune and the date of her marriage. It as a bridal gift from the king, who, living seen the English and American dies at his court using thimbles, took lis method of introducing them among is own ueople. In Naples very pretty thimbles, comoscd of iavji from Blount Vesuvius, arc icasionally sold. Init rather as curiosies than for real utility, being, from the ctremc brittleness of the lava, very isily broken. I have heard also of limbics made of asphaltum from the ead sea. and of one comoosed of a agment of the old elm tree at Camridge, Mass., under which General "nshington -tood when taking command ; the United States army, in July, 1775; ut I do not suppose that any of these ere ever intended to be used in sewing. In the ordinary manufacture of gold id silver thimbles thin plates of the etal are introduced into the die and icn punched into shape.

This completes the thimble that, ill last for years. The steel used in > construction will scarcely wear out in long time, and the gold, if worn away, easily replaced.?Ihrcu* JAujm'uie.

E. 2sonr*c, in the Century. The Telltale Hat. "A charming morning, Mr. Robinson,' said :i dapper bunco steerer to a well jj known Chicago lawyer yesterday morn- e, ing, in the vestibule of the Astor House. B "It is no use, my line fellow," replied the Chicagoan. "I can't be had." The stcerer apologized and turned to 10 ai a "Stop," said the lawyer, smilingly. ' I am of an inquisitive turn of mind. Do you sec this s? 10 note? It is yours if u you will tell nic honestly why you picked me out as a stranger in the city." = The bunco man took the bill and whispered. "It was your hat. You laugh, but it is a fact. There is 110 bet- ^ tcr indicator of where a man is from than his hat. Come to the steps here and watch the people as they pass. Sec that ?> well-dressed man with the silk hat with m a very narrow brim. Well, where he ") comes from that hat is the fashion. It's an old style here, but a new one where tn he lives.

The common distance in thiscountry between ' b}? the centers of the eyes is three and threeeighths inches, but among foreigners it is three inches and a half. Sometimes E this is increased from one to three-eighths " of an inch more. If spectacles arc worn N with the frames too narrow, the focus of one eye conflicts with that of the other, and an elfect is produced very similar to that of being cross-eyed. King Charles I., of England, had a favorite dwarf named Richard Gibson, who was hardly more than a yard high, and the king's wife, Queen Henrietta, had a lady-dwarf who whs exactly the same height, and these two little people were married to each other. The king and ipieen were at the wedding; the <piccn yavc the bride a little diamond ring as a l>ridal-gift, and the court poet wrote a poem about the marriage. WISE WORDS. <f Kindness is the only charm permitted i the aged; it is the coquetry of gray iir. Comparison more than reality makes en happy, and can make them retched. Genius is only entitled to respect when p promotes the peace and improves the v inniness of mankind. h rr u The man who lives in vain, lives worse y rnn in vain. He who lives to 110 pur- 8i ose, lives to a bad purpose. There is a key that will open every d >ck, if we know how to forget it; and, a ) with life, there is a right path for ? yery one if they will only search to nd it. The memory ought to be a store-room; mny turn theirs, rather, to a lumberjom. Even stores grow moldy, and ?. poil, unless aired and used betimes, nd then they, too, become lumber. To suppose that we can indulge in the jwer passions or appetites for a time, nd then at our pleasure subdue them c nd lead a higher life, is an illusion \ rhich will dissolve as we approach it. 1 character is self-perpetuating; it uses 11 its materials, good and bad. None ] f them can be swept away or blotted. < It is not sufficient to expound to the . ising generation principles of integrity, nd enforce them by weighty arguments; ye must also nourish the germs of beicvolence in their hearts, and cultivate he aptitude for reading and interpreting 1 he leclings of others, and the power of 1 anticipating in their pleasures and 1 tains.
