" That’s ao,” assented Jack, emphat

down Clare’s back.
"Oh, yon horrid boy,” Clare cried.
"Jetty, I do wish you’d make Jack ba-

peas down my neck. ”

with great dignity, "if you don’t be

" Pooh I who could slop me,” he re
torted contemptuously, but ceasing his
tricks. 4*
It happened to ba Jetty’s holiday, and
the whole foranoon was devoted to pre
paration for that wonderful dinner of
pees. Breed »ud butter and peas were
to be the bill of fare; nothing elae.
The table was spread with the beat
damask and china, relioe of better daya^
and at last came the important moment,
when Jetty, having gone through aa
tumult non* unorrtaiutiee as did Mr*.
Bob Cratehit over her Christmaa pud

big bowl of steaming pass, buttered and
aaasoeed to a tan, and tending forth an

"Tliank youj” the intruder ’ said,
coolly stepping over the window ledge
into the room. " You are your mother
over again. I'd -like_to tolk-with yon a
little on businesa.” *
Jetty’s heart quailed a little at that
awful word, yet she didn’t show a
quiver, but led the way to the parlor
with as repal an air as if she had been a
Queen granting an interview extra
ordinary, or whatever it would be called,
to an Ambassador equally extraordinary,

A merchant of this city, wbo has taken
part in the Presidential elections of the
last forty year*, has had the singular
misfortune to vote for the four Presi
dents who died in office—Harrison, Tay
lor, Lincoln and Garfield—and never
have indorsed any other Ruocesaful can
didate. v Hearing of this strange expe
rience a reporter went to him for its oor-
roboration. Ha said .
" I have always been a Whig and Bo-
publioan, and I voted for Henry Olay,
who was oca ten. In 1840 I voted for
Harrison, and lie died ia office. In
I voted against Polk, who waa elected.
In 18481 voted for Taylor, who also died
in office. That waa the fint coincidence,
but I never thonght much about it. In
1852 I voted against Pieros and ha got
through all right. In 1860 I voted the
Fusion ticket as against Iin coin. I be
lieved at that time that the slavery in
the South was a domestic institution
with which the North had no right to
interfere. I changed my mind when I
aaw what the SonUiemars . were doing,
and in 18641 voted lor Lincoln, who
was amsminated. This happening to
the third auccemfol candidate I had
voted for rather staggered me. In 1868
I deoHned to vote at all tasl baoanm I
was auperstitioaa, but beaaoae I did not
want to support Grant, and I would not
vote for a Democrat. 4m 1871 I had
moved my reeideeee to New Jersey, and
waa not entitled to a vote that year. In
1878 I kut my vole, too, and to 1880 I
told my friends that I did not want to
vote for Oarfleld, for if I did ba would
either be defeated or would laawl

With kndheet in teat,

jetty answered him, very
amply, but ia a way that left no doubt
that her deciaioQ wa final :
" Of coarse wa thank you, Mr. Gard
ner, and I know how good an offer it is
lor Jack ; but I promised mamma Fd
keep the family together, and of course
we couldn’t let him go.”
Keep the family together I The good
town's people were shocked and sur
prised, and expressed their astonishment
and disapproval frankly enough to each
other. To voice thorn to Miss Jetty
Weatart, was, howwver, a very different
thing, for the pale little girl-woman had
dignity enough to silence the most im
pudent of the gossips; an3 ,however the
talk buzzed behind Jter back, it came
seldom to her ears. She taught the
village school, and kept the family to
gether, and it was not long before pub
lic opinion came to take sides with her
and to condemn rich John Frenant, that
he stood aloof, and continued the un-
kindnees, which had gone" far to break
his sister’s heart, to her unoffending
children. \ o
Life to the little Weetart cottage, as
easy be easily understood waa not very
luxurious, and Jack’s statement that they
never had enough of anything, was not
so inexact On the present occasion,
when Mr. Gardner had offered the sj-als
of bis pea-vines to Jetty, the determina
tion expressed by all tha family, not even
excepting the " little mother” herself,
as some to the neighbors called Jetty,
was to have all the peas they could pos
sibly eat After • Upper tha whole fami
ly, own to the cat, who tagged along al

down Jetty's face, and tha antne family
gathered around the pssa, seated
oa tba floor and lamenting to company.
"Perhaps we could scoop np tha top,"
suggested Kate, hopefully. "They’ll be
clean and nice."
86 spoons ware brought and quite a
respectable portion of tha heap waa
restored to the dish, a state of things
which quieted Jack and Clare, and re
stored something like serenity to the en
tire party.
But fate nover does a thing by halves
and this time it wss Kate who dropped
the dish she held while Jetty carefully
spooned into it such pras as she oould
ssve from the general ruin.
"Oh, Jim I"
"Oh, Jim!" —
"Oh, Kate !"
"Dam itl Thunder 1 Cuss it 1
Bloat it 1 There 1” shouted Jack, defi
antly.
The awful profanity of Ibis speech
startled and shocked the girls beyond
measure. ^
"John Frenant Weetart I” Jetty said,
rising to her feet with a white face, and
speaking to a voice whose sternness car
ried terror to the heart of the culprit,
"What would mother say if she oould
hear you swear ? Go up-stairs this min
ute, and don’t show your face again un
til you can talk like a gentlemflfi.”
Without a word, Jack left the room,
secretly frightened and shocked at his
otan behavior, but holding his head high
asd inflexible. ""
"Faff my part," said a oool, deep
voice, -I Aon> blame tha boy
much." "

Them are a variety tt ways to
married that should be mentioned to the
fashion writer who said that wa needed
more novelty at weddings. For in
stance : A girl at Ooultarsville, N. 0.,
waa looked to a room by a lather, who
chained a savage bull-dog under her
window, but her lows* poisoned the dog,
pried open her window and carried her
off to a clergyman. Again, Mrs. Reeder,
of Baltimore, the day of her late hus
band’s funeral received a telegram from
an old lover, who ia living to Missouri,
saying: " Have Just heard of Reeder’s
death. Will you marry me? Draw on
me for $100 to pay the expenses of your-
lelf and the children here,"- Mrs.
Reeder telegraphed " Yes,’' and went to
the bank, showed the telegram and got
the money. Another good one comes
from Nashville, where a girl, being for
bidden to marry her hm» x promised
obedience, but one day requested her
father to hand their pastor a note on
his way to business. Thus he was un
suspectingly led to deliver an invitation
to the clergyman to call at once and
perform the prohibited omemony ; and
the tatter,, presuming that parental con
sent had been obtained, readily obeyed
the summons. A couple ware viewing

it occurred to them that tha plaoe waa a

shown that all forma of com
bustion, perfect and imperfect, are pro
ducers to fog nuclei, it ia concluded that
it ia hopeless to expect that, adopting
more perfect forma of combustion than
those st present to use, we shall thereby
diminish the frequency, persistency or
density of our town fogs. More perfect
eosabastion will, however, remove the
pea-soup character from the foga and
make them purer and whiter, by pre
venting the smoke which at present
mixes to our town fogs and aggravates
their character, and prevents them dis
solving when they enter our rooms.
Smoke descends during a fog, because
the smoke particle* are good radiator*,
and soon got cooled and form nuclei on
which the water vapor condenses. The
smoke thus becomes heavier and falls.
This explains why falling smoke is often
a sign of coming rein. It indicates a
saturated condition of the atmosphere.—
