Rorne in the snug, warm kiteb

daylight tasks is aroused by the
gatheribg darkness so early in the
day. Already V h e- snow falls
thickly, and she goes to the door
and b1ows she conch shell which
*will bring the farmer in.
"Husband, it is beginning to
storm. Won't you hitch up and
go for the children ?" Thbe farmer
looks ait his watch. "Too early
yet. Besides one of the cows is
very sick, my best one, and I want
to stay with her. I'll send Isaae
by two o'clock."
"All right. P a V t y promised
me they'd sta y until you came for

goes singing to her tasks. Sing.

"My. Faith looks up to Thee."
Ah! little does she think how
that faith will be tried in the next

About one o'clock the storm
rages so fiercely that he resolves
to go for the children whether the
cow dies or not. So putting plenty
of buffalo robes in the sleigh he
drives away after the two, who
even now are fighting the driving
storm. -
Two o'clock, three o'clock, four
o'clock, and they' do not come!
Mrs. Meagher has anxiously look

times within the last hour. At.

"John! What.c4n can you mean?
No! Tell me I Aze they -niwith

sinks into a chair and buries his
face in his hands.
"They are lost.. They were

From the window,his wife watch

'"Patty, I'm so hungry."
"Where's your pail, Mose? I
lost mine in the snow when we
knelt down."
AWhy, here it is! And I didn't
a my turnover, because mother
put in two. -Won't you have half,
Patty ?"
- "No, Mose..- Eat it all yourself.

ingry. Patty turns aay from
he tempting morsel offere her.
The cold, sharp air now begins
to penetrate their hiding - ptace
through the hole which had ad
mitted them. The snow.has nearly
yovered it up, and Mose begins to

kause he has no more, and it is so
lark, and he wants mother.
*Bravo Patty, although she feels
ike crying herself, -draws him
~Iose to her and tells fairy tales
ntil he drops off to sleep again.
But Patty cannot sleep. She re
eats to herself all the many

-oh, if morning would only

At last Mosewakes half bena,mb

to rally her own flaggng spirits,
Patty begins to sing one of their

lack and shaggy pokes its head

'ear, but Patty knows- it is a dog,
md that assistance must be near.
The feebly calls for help, and then
she hears the dog barking as it
runs away.:. S$oon her cry is an

"Bless me sowl! By all the

Eamyther thinks yez be froze, and
we're huntin' all the blessed night

Patty's teeth chatter too much
to speak and Mose only cries, so
ifting the little boy in his arms
they start for borne, which can
be plainly seen in the early dawn.
"It's me dog that's the foine

Who can describe that scene
where Mose clasped in his moth

"And who told yez to get into

Mrs Collins arranged the wickets.
Collins had learned to play when
visiting in Glovershire, last sum
me', and Mrs. Collins acquired an
indifferent knowledge of the game
from two elderly maiden .sisters
on Paxton street, and so on- that
delicious Friday afternoon, they
took out the mallets and balls and
commenced the game.
'INow 'Emeline," .playfully ob

"People who are so ready to

Thenthey' both laughed.
"But it will be a good th:dg for

And thus exchanging senti

After passing through the center
wicket, Mr. Collins used her ball
bo help himself through the other
wickets to the upper stake. Thea

and struck for the stake, which

"I declare," he exclaimedin vex

aThen she, ihaving watched his
rapid progress with a clouded
ace, now struck for him and hit

was spinning through the grass
o the other end of the ground.
She raq now in position for
her wicket, and passed through
t'and the others to the stake, but
issed it. Then he came up by a
well-directed blow to within .two
nches of the stake. But she went
~orhi ginagdgWhen she got
through, she las three wickets
4yond the stake, and his ball
was at the other end of the
round again, and his brow was
nely corrugated. He stepped
nervously toward it. It was quite
vident that he was not unruffled.
When his turn came again he
rove back to the stake but struck
. wicket, and rebounded so close
to hir that she easily hit him ,and
gain introduced him through
wickets he was not for, and then
snt him flying again. Her. sue
ess caused her to laugh, and he
bieard it.
"You think you are pretty
smart, but I'll get even with you,"
he said, withou.t smiling.
"You'il have to play better than
you have done," she 'pertinently
suggested.
"1 think I knnw as much about
croquet as you do," he said, still j1
with a straight face.
"You don't play as if you did'' t
she retorted.
"If you'd any -fairness about 9
you you'd let me had that stroke
over, when .I was up to the stake.
You knew I slipped, as well as I c
did," he said growing red in tke T
face. - .
"No, I didn't know anything '
about it," she replied taking on a
little color.
"I say you did."
"And I say I didn't. But if Y
you are going to play this game, d
-why don't you go ahead."
"I'll play when I get ready," b.e .
answered, turning white about th C
mouth.
"If you ain't going to play,. Y
you'd better g6 into the house 13
and shut up," she suggested, rais

"Don't you talk to me tiai

AN INSANE PHYsIcIAN.-Ellen
Case, a -young woman employ
ed as a domestic servant at Oak
and, Cal., was attacked by a trivial
malady, and Dri. Pentack was
called in. This Dr. Pentack had
ong been known as an odd man
ull of freaks in 'professional and
social conduct, yet he had a reputa
tion for skill in the practice of
medicine, and ~enjoyed a large
practice. Really; he was a ma
niac, and insanely in love with
the girl whom he was summoned
to treat. He had made some ad-.
vances which she had repulsed.
The sight of her ill put the idea
into his erazyhead that if he could
got two quarts of' her blood he
could construct from .it an ex
act counterpart o f her. This
counterfeit creation, he supposed,
would be endowed with life, and
be in all respects like the original.
He announced that it would be
necessary to bleed the girl, and
ho actually let out -from her arm
the two quarts that he wanted,
taking it away in a pail. The
operation was injurious to the
patient, and nearly killed her. An
other physician was sent for, and,
upon hearing what Dr. Pentack
had done, he communicated to
the police his belief of that prac
titioner's insanity. A visit to
Pentack's residence was made at
once. He was found boiling&/thO
blood in a kettle, and mising va
rious chemicals with it/ne begged
to be let alone in his experiment,
declaring tha}rhis process was cer
tain to ev-olve a living woman
witi-ai-jninutes if he was
dt disturbed. The officers arrest
ad him, and he is now in'an asylum,
where he talks about nothing but
dis process of making fac-similes
>f human beings from their blood.
The worthless and offensive
embers of society, whose exist
mece is a social pest, invariably
think themselves the most ill-used
people alive, and never get over
aeir astonishment at the ingrati
tude and selfishness of their con- ]
hmprries.
HOW TO CALCULATE INTER
EST AND WHAT IT WILL
DO.
'_Tlie~following rules are so sin
ple and so true,. according to all
business usage, that every banker,
broker, merchant or clerk should
post them up for reference. There
being no such thing. as fraction
indt; there is scarcely any liability
to error or mnistake. By no other
arithmetical process can the do
sired information}e obtained .by
so few figures:
Six per cent.-Multiply any
given.number of dollars by the
number of days of interest de
sired; separate the right hand fig
ure and divide by six; the result is
I f
the true interest on such a-sum for
such : number of days at six per
cent.
Eight per cent.-Multiply any
given amount for the number of
days,upon which it is desired to
ascertain the.interest, and the re
sat will be the interestof such
a sum for the time required at
eight.per cent.
Ten per cent--Muliply the
same as abose, and, divide by thir
ty-six, and, the result will be. the
amount of interest at ten pe
cent.
What it will do. Jf a mechan
ic or clerk saves-pnly.2 cents a

THE EFFECT OF CHINEsz.-Some
man has been telling, a female
correspondent of the .Phrenologi- ~
cal Journa4 how his head got out e
of shape, She says: "He spoke ~
of the asto'nishing effect the study ~

sounds, as we have in our !an
guage, they haie thirteen, and
it is the most diffcult matter

DRESS PLAINLY.
I noticed on last Lord's day in
hurch a lady of wealth and fashion
Iressed in a simple (to my mind it
ras very b6autiful) calico dress
eat, well made, clean, and the
vhble toilet of this lady was in
:eeping with her dress. There
ras nothing costly--nothinggaudy
-but all her apparel was neat and
ppropriate for the' day and the
eivice. A train of reflections
rereawakened in my mind. I

iinister ha been taing with a
oung mother on the. importance
f prayer for the children, and
eked her whether she evei- pray
d with, as well as for, her little
nes. She said she had not, as she
sared they would be restless and
be embarrassed ; but nevertheless
be promised to try. As evening
ame she noticed that her daugh
ar seemed unusually peevish, and
, she thought it best to take her
ttle son first. Willie was a bright
id of only five. years, but. when
.is mother whispered her wish to
r-ay with him, he gladly put his
and in hers and knelt by her side.
Ls he heard his own name men
ioned before the Lord, a tender
usly seemed to fall upon his
oung spirit,-and he clasped his
iothers fingers go.re tightly as
ach petition for his special need
ras breathed into the ear- of the
'reat Father. When they rose
-om their knees Willie's face was
adiant. "Mamma, mamma," he
aid, "I'm glad yon told Jesus my
ame; now He'll know me,.when

A Gow Dorman -Benton used
a say: A man with a gold dollar
i hiss pocket has thit much positive
alue1 representing so much labor,
6 much food, so much clothing or
ther property. He may fall down
steep place and be killed, and years
Eter, if his bones are found the re.
sins will be worth the gold dol
r that fell with him. But the man
ho has a paper promise to pay has
it which depends for value on
ie action of a board of directors
a government over which he has
ycontrol, and may be worth fifty
'uts, forty cents or worthless.
No man's life is free from strug
les-and mortification, not even
te happiest ; but every one may
sild up his own happiness by
sking mental pleasure, and thus
ake himself independent of for
toe.
