And in that sheltered spot, the frost wouldn't have touched 'em for a week to come." "Mornin'-glories don't amount to nothin1!" snarled Kisbee. "Besidee, I'm goin' to hev a load of wood dumped there to-day. It's a handy place for the wood-pile." "Father!" ' 'I'm?goin'?to?her?a?load?-o'? wood?dumped?there?to-day! Don't I speak loud enough?" "But, father, you always said you waa goln' to build a kitchen out there." "I never said nothin' of the ortl" "I want a kitchen," pleaded the poor woman. "That's a horse of another color," sneered the old ruan. "And when we was first married, you pormiscd me?" "I dare say 1 promised a good many foolish things then. There's some promises better broken than kept," philosophically observed Luke. "And this old room's damp, and the walls have settled, and the ceilings has fell?and I was calculatin' to have it fixed up and put my bed here, when the new kitchen was built. It always makes me feel dreadful cheap, when the sewing society meet here,to hev our bed a-standin' in the parlor, no matter how handsome the patchwork quilt is I" Luke wiped his hands over the rollertowel.

"Do you mean, father, that I ain't to hev the new kitchen arter all?" ilTWot'. 1 - - . . . into ?.-AMuuy wuai 1 ao mean." Mrs. Kisbee said no more,but the slow, bitter tears of old age trickled down her cheeks as she lighted the tire, brought a pail of drinking water from the spring and began to fry the ham and eggs in a little iron skillet. "I must have been awful wicked," thought the poor old woman, "for I've most made an idol o' that new kitchen, an' thcAight so much nbrtit the best room with no bed in it I An' no* I'm punished." Her son George r-nme over that afternoon from Fancy's .Mills, where he was foreman in u great shirt factory. "Mother," said he, "I've got something to tell you. I'm engaged to marry Susy Stopford. Why, mother, what's the matter? What are von rrying about? 1 thought you'd be so pleased I" "It's just like all the rest o' the luck I" sobbed poor old Mrs. Kisbee. "Father's oeen an tore aown an my mornin*-giory rla?, an' i ain't goin' to it0W my new kitchen after all these years, and my only son has got engaged to one of the Btopfords, that wasn't never friends with the Kisbee??"

H "Well, George?" cried she. "I don't know what to say to you, Susy,'' he began. "Mother isn't herself a today. She?" tl "She don't liko me? Ah, I knew that h before, George I There was some old trouble between her mother and Grand- tr father Stopford. She jilted him or he tl threw her over, I never quite understood w which.

George Kisbee leaned against h the door and caressed one of the truant A tresses of loose hair, as it it were a liv ii log thing. "Tell iuc all about It, George," said ' she. And George told her. It was such a ucw, strange delight to ' have her to conlide everything to. "I only wish I was rich," said he. "I'd buy the place myself, and I'd build that new kitchen that poor mother's soul p so longs for, and a porch in front to ' traiu her morninu irlorv vines on." ^ flusy pressed her clicek against her hnnd. "Who's going to boy it George?" said she. s "Doctor Trevor." "What dots he pay tor it?" "Twelve hundred do'lars. It isn't a * great price, but the land is sterile and rocky, and the house is old. Poor J mother I It will break her heart, I'm ' afraid, to leave the old place." "George," said fluty, suddenly lifting 1 her bright eyes to his faeo, "I can't. ' give you up?not even to your mother." ' "Susy, my darling!" "But this I will do, I'll make her like 1 me yet?see if I don't." And Busy got up nud rau, sobbing,in to.the house. Hlie could uot resume her writing again, though the manuscript of a halffiuished story lay ou the table in her cosy little sanctum. She got out hor bank book and studio 1 it for awhile; then she brought in a ( shallow window box and adjusted it in i tho sunniest nook of the kitchen casc. ti raent. "La me, Susan, what are you doing?" | said Aunt Pamela, who was cutting up pumpkin for pies. "Plantin' morning j glory seeds at tins time o* the year? Ho you gone crazy?" ^ "I thought f should like to have some plants ready for blossoming tho firs' ^ thing in the spring," said Susy, color ing a little. Mrs. Kisbcc's poor oid fucc grew very white and drawn when she heard that. I her husband had sold the old place; but h she sigued the deed without a word of f> reiuoustrance. ? "It's late in the day for me to oppose t> Luke's will,*' said she. "But one thing I I know?I'm too old a tree to bear o transplantin'.

Oh, dear?oh, dear!" And after that she went about her household tasks in a spiritless way, as if ^ she were walking in a drearu. "George," she said to her son one day, when he stopped in to see her, "Doctor Trevor, lie's abuildm' on the prettiest wing you ever see. He said he ^ hoped it wouldn't disturb me none, hut ^ thev was iu a hurry with the altera.. - ,, J ni tions. "You don't mind it, do you mother?" Mrs. Kisbee shook her piteous old gray head. . "No," said she. "I like to hear the hamraerin'. I'm glad Mis' Trevor's goiu' to have a nicer place to work in than (j ever T had.

"Mother. Susy says I Mrs. Kisbee's face hardened. ' "I don't want to bear what Susy says," ' said she. "I don't calculate to go an' i live with you an' Susan Stopford, I'm 1 an old woman, an' I've got ways of my I own that I can't give up.

A WOIOM poii-Bl of SB average bare of comaaon seme eta hardly none one or more child*** through the disorders incident to bsbyhood?eud childhood without acquirirftfTjfcd stock of Information as to how to treat attacks of light indisposition. Her domestic practice should, however, be restricted to the administration of the simplest remedies, of external applications aod of preventives rather than professed cures. Her knowledge should stand bar In good stead in emergencies, and yet be tempered with the judgment that will direct her to call in a physician at the least menace of serious sickness. A child should be so closely watched by the mother that no derangement of its system may escape her notice. She should ascertain for herself that all its bodily functions are in proper working order. Her trained touch should note in a moment any unusual heat or chilliness of the child's body, the dryness of the skin, the ovcr-quickaoss of the pulse. Sho should learn to know at a glsnce I whether tbo throat and tongue aye in their normal condition, and her ear should be schooled to detect the difference between natural and labored or shortened respiration. A fever thermometer should be family medicine chest, and the moEher should understand how to take her child's temperature, and thus make herselt absolutely sure whether the patient is feverish or not. Even when the symptoms are such as to cause alarm, a physician is uot always at hand, and upon tho mother there devolves the chuige of the little oue. A few general hiuts as to simple modes of treatment may not be amiss. Home children have a tendency :U..i iiinnim uioup umi iiiaiiiiesis liseii as night approaches in feverishncss,hoarsencss ami a barking cough. Such symptoms must not be disregarded. The child's feet must be well heated before it goes to bed, its chest rubbed with camphorated oil and covered with a bit of red flannel spread with vaseline. Aconite may be given at the rate of half a drop in a tcaspoonful of water every half hour fot three or four doses. If the cold ia a freak or.e this may check it and produce a gentle respiration. When the unplea?ant symptoms remain, fifteen drops of syrup of ipecac may be given every t venty minutes until the hoarseness ia relieved or the child vomits. Should tho littlo one waken suddenly from sleep with a hoarse cough aud tightened breathing, a tcaspoonful of ipecac containing as much powdered alum as can be heaped on a silver dime may be administered. If the child does not vomit within half an hour, tho dose may be repeated. A bath in water of about ninetylive degrees is, of course, excellent in croup, as in congestion or convulsions. Croupy children should be kept housed while there is melting snow on the ground. The snow air often affects them even then,and makes thaws anxiovjMiasous for mothers. Blight bowel troubles can usually be regulated better by diet than by drugs. Children suffering with loorcness of the bowels should be fed with boiled milk, boiled rice, arrowroot jelly, rice flour porridge, sage or tapioca aud soft toast. Haw fruit and sweets should be especially avoided. The regimcu is not severe,and is more attractive than dosing. Children whose teudeucy is in the opposite direction should have a laxative diet, consisting of oatmeal, hominy, mush, wheaten grits, baked potatoes, beef juice. apple sauce, etc. Sugar of milk may be added to the food as a gentle corrective, a teaspoonful three times a day usually being enough to produce the desired efTcci. Pain in the stomach or bowels, or colic, is so varied in its manifestations that it is hard to lay down any fixed rule of treatment. If the colic springs from acidity, a teaspoonful of lime water, or a pinch of carbonate of so la dissolved in a little water will often relieve the patient. Where there is any Inclination to s mrness of stomach, lime water should always be added to the milk which a child drinks. For pain in the bowels a teaspoonful of anise cordial mixed with a teaspoonful of hot water often produces a happy effect. Flan nels dipped in hot spirits and wrung out maybe laid on the bowels of the sufferer, an?1 frequently prove very soothing. In sharp pain laudanum may be added to the spirits. An old fashioned spice plaster in excellent remedy. It is made by mixing a heaping teaspoonful each of ground cinnamon cloves, mace and allspice with two of ginger*. The mixture is quilted between two thicknesses of red tlanncl about einht inches long by six wide. The plastei may he applied dry or dipped in hoiling alcohol and laid on the little patient's abdomen as hot a< he can hear it. In cases of weakness ol the bowels this plaster may bo worn constantly with benefit. Although an overuse of drugs is always to be deplored, each home when there are little folks should be supplier with its medicine chest or cabinet, kept locked, and the key in the mother'; possession. In this box oi cupboard, besides the paregoric, Ipecac and pep pcrmint bottles, there should be aconita lor feverishness, linseed oil for burns ammonia for bee stiDgs, camphor fo influenzas, and a vial of brandy for sud den fainting fits, or the serious accident that will somotimes occur in the bes regulated families.?New York Kecor tier.

It's what yon must expect. . j Bnt it's what von must nrevent. too. And Dr. Pierce'e Golden Medical Discovery prevents as well as cures. It invigorates the liver and kidneys, purifies and enriches the blood, sharpens the appetite, im-' proves digestion, and restores health and strength. For Dyspepsia, " Liver Complaint," and every form of Scrofulous. Skin, or Scalp Diseases, as Salt-rheum, Tetter, Erysipelas, or any blood-taint, it's an unequaled remedy. J . . It's not like the sarsaparillaa, which claim to be good for the blood in March, April and May. At all seasons alike, and in all cases, the " Discovery" alone is guaranteed. If it. doesn't benefit or cure,' you have your money back. It's the cheapest blood-purifier, no matter how many doses are offered for a dollar, for you pay only for the good you get.
