THE REVENGERS.

“ Pop!” “ Yes’m.” “ Take that big basket with the broken bale, an’ dig me 'bout a peck o' potatoes. Look lively now. Don’t stand there staring at me like a dumb thing. Fly around." “Yes’m." Pop, a thick-set little fellow, black as the ace of spades, seized the basket Miss Faithful Sharpe designated with her lean fore-finger, and started out. In the garden, Andy, Miss Faithful’s and the cause of much of her tribulation, was engaged in weeding. He averaged one weed a minute. At that rate it would take about three months of constant work to clear the beds. But Andy didn’t care. He hated work, and it wouldn’t have distressed him if the garden had remained uu weeded from the beginning to the end of the year. His aunt’s example, and her many maxims, and long lectures on the nobility of honest toil never had any perceptible effect upon him. ‘ * What are you going to do, Pop ?” he asked as his co-sufferer, who viewed things pretty much as “Mars Andy ” did, emerged from the house. “ Goin’ to dig taters.” Digging potatoes had always been hateful work in Andy’s eyes before. But now it did not strike him so. Anything was better than weeding. ~ “ Say, Pop, I’ll dig the potatoes, if you’ll weed some.” Pop shook his head. “ Can’t, Mars Andy,” he answered. “Ole Missus, she tole me I’d got to go and get dese yere taters my own self, an’ not stop foolin’ roun’ with nobody. She says she spec Mars Andy gwine to ax me to weed, an’ so she tole me not to stop nohow.” This was delivered very glibly, for Pop hated weeding as much as Andy did, and never found any difficulty in framing an excuse. “O, pshaw,” said Andy, who did not think of doubting Pop’s veracity, knowing as he did his aunt’s opinion of his industry. “ That’s the way she always talks. She don’t mean nothin'. Give me the basket.” “ 1 dasn’t, Mars Andy,” and Pop clung with a well-simulated shiver of fear to the broken bail. “ Ole Missus, she’d take ah’ tar de head square ofFn me, deed she would. ” “ She 1 Now you know you’re gassin’, Pop. There ain’t as much fight in her ns she makes out. But go ’long. I believe I’d druther weed anyhow,” said Andy, making the best of the inevitable. “ I only know one thing : you’re that mean a Jew wouldn’t buy you.” Pop proceeded to the potato patch with a heavy heart. Andy’s last words cut doep. He wondered how he could make peace, and turned out the contents of his pockets, thinking he might find something to propitiate the friend whose friendship was so dear to him. But nothing appeared of sufficient value t o serve as a peace offering—an alligator’s tooth, a rattlesnake’s rattle, a big cone, a piece of striug, the core of a turnip, a glass button, and a piece of rusty iron. For none of these things would Andy care. He had plenty like them ; only better.

Two boys, in cloge conversation, came to the rail fence, taking the road which led to the river, half a mile off. Pop pricked up his ears on hearing something one of them said, and ran to repeat it to Andy, forgetting, in his ex- . citement, all about their recent difference. “ I say, Mars Andy, now’s our chance. We can get eben wid dat Bob Harris and Tim Waters for stealin’ our clo’es when we was irfa swimmin’ las’ Sat’day. Dey’s gone down now to go in deir T solves “ Good luck 1 ” cried Andy. “ I didn’t believe we’d get a chance for revenge so soon.. Yon get through your potatoes, Pop, and let’s be off. We’ll show ’em thtft stealin’ clothes is a trick we can plaly at too.” Pop wasn’t ten minutes digging the potatoes. Then he walked softly around tp the kitchen window, which was open, for the weather was very warm, and succeeded in setting the basket on the deal without attracting the attention of arguseyed Miss Faithful, A little later, when she went to the door to see how the boy’s weeding progressed, neither of the boys were t > be seen, and she screamed their names until she was hoarse, without eliciting any reply save from the echoing pine woods. The boys proceeded with great caution as they neared the river. In the middle of it lay a small island, almost overgrown with bushes, which afforded a capital screen. On the other side of this island from where the boys were, the water was very deep, but nearest to them it was so shallow that they could wade across with ease and perfect safety. Very careful to make no noise, they hunted around among the bushes until they found two piles of olothes. Hastily picking them up, they ran off with them just as a shout was raised by some one in the deep water. “ You know how it feels to have your clothes carried off, now,” sung out Andy, as he and Pop waded back to the shore in great haste. “ You’ll let ours alone the next time we go in, I reckon.” did jjqt stop to hear the t^awer

that was shouted after them, but, hurrying home, hid the clothes in-an empty bin in Miss Faithful's corn-shed. “ Let ’em get home as best they.can,” chuckled Andy. ‘ 1 We had a good right to take our revenge.” “ Lessen us call ourselves de revengers,” suggested Pop. “ That’s the name for us,” cried Andy. “You’ve hit it this time, Pop. ‘Revenge is sweet,’ you know, and I reckon we never felt better then we do now. Tim and Bob’ll never'hear the last of this.” This was Thursday. Every Thursday night there was a prayer meeting held in Crosstown Methodist Church, situated a mile from Miss Faithful’s house. Andy and Pop always went; not because they liked it, bnt because Miss Faithful, who was a devout member of the congregation, was afraid to leave them at home, for fear they wonld bum the house down or commit some other desperate deed of a like nature. “Please let us stay home to-night, aunt,” pleaded Andy, as he sat with her at supper, while Pop slowly polished the tins at the sink, averaging a mb every two or three minutes. “ No, don’t ask it,” was the decided reply. “ I can’t trust you. Like as not you’d burn the whole place down before I’d got half to Cross town. Come, Pop sit down and eat, while I clear away the dishes, and then we’ll start. You both deserve a thrashing for going off this afternoon without leave, and attending meeting is small enough punishment, goodness knows.” The church was full. It had beon previously announced that Deacon Ellis and Deacon Snow, of Glenville, who were visiting Deacon Marley for a few days, would give their experience, and the attendance was consequently very large, for these gentlemen were looked upon as “shining lights,” and great respect was shown them. Miss Faithful had invited them both to a late supper when meeting should be over, and had, on tbe way to church, given Andy and Pop many and earnest directions as to their conduct on the forthcoming great occasion. But neither of the eminent gentlemen had arrived when Miss Faithful, a little late, entered the church with her two charges. Already inquiries were being made about them, and anxiety, mingled with disappointment, was visible on every countenance.

Half an hour passed, and still the deacons did not come. And then Deacon Marley rose slowly from his seat. “My friends,” he said, “lam unable to account for the extraordinary absence of our respected brothers. They left my honse at five o’clock with the intention of taking a walk by the river, and, since they did not return to tea, I anticipated meeting them here. I greatly fear some accident has befallen them. ” Andy looked at Pop. Pop returned the look. The same idea presented itself to the minds of both. It was an idea that struck a chill to the very marrow in their bones. “Aunt,” whispered Andy to Miss Faithful, “ I’m awful sick to my stomach. I guess it was that piece of cocoanut pie I ate. I’ve got to go out. Can’t Pop go with me?” He looked so pale that Miss Faithful credited his assertion of sudden illness, and nodded assent. The boys went out together, careful not to glance at each other, for fear of being suspected of their complicity in the absence of the deacons. “ We’ve done gone an’ done it now, shore’ 'nnff,” whispered Pop, with a shiver, when they were once out of the church. They set off for the river with the speed of young deer. When within a few yards of it they heard shouts for help. “Dat’s dem,” said Pop. “Dey mils’ be pow’ful mad by dis time.” The deacons were, indeed, considerably out of temper, as well they might be, for they had been wading around in the shallow water near the island for nearly three hours, shouting at the top of their lungs for assistance. “Hollo!” answered Andy, “what ’d want ?” He asked the question by way of taking every precaution against suspicion, for, of course, he knew very well what they wanted. * ‘ Some wicked boys stole our clothes,” answered Deacon Snow, and we’ve been here ever since half-past 5. Whoever you are, I’ll give you a dollar if you’ll go to Deacon Marley’s, and tell him to send us something to put on. ” “ And I’ll give you another dollar if you’ll hurry up,” said Deacon ELis. The boys were off like a flash, and returned in a short time with ail necessary garments, and Deacon Marley following in their wake. It was too late now for the deacons to attend meeting; the congregation had dispersed. So they went at once to Miss Faithful’s, where, over a goodly supper, they recounted the story of their wrongs. “ What made you think of coming to the river ?” asked Deacon Ellis, as he patted Andy on the head in a benign manner. “Deacon Marley said you’d gone there to walk,” answered Andy, in a very low tone, “ and we thought you might have fallen in.” “Good boys,” said the deacon. “You deserve a holiday to-morrow for this. ” The boys did not appear ve»y appreciative to the praise lavished so freely upon them. Miss Faithful, made suspicious by sad experience, detected embarrassment in their manners, and guilt in their faces. A horrible thought seized her as she recollected their unexplained absence of the afternoon. She waited until the deacons had lighted their pipes, and then excused herself for a few minutes. Going up-stairs, she opened the door of the back attic. Pop’s bed was empty. In the front attic the condition of affairs was the same; Andy’s bed had not been disturbed. Suspicion ripened into certainty at once. Miss Faithful leaned from the window of the back attic, and looked down into the yard below. Nothing was to be seen or heard. Going softly down the back stairs she opened the kitchen door and went out. AJI was still. Exercising great caution in her movements she made her way toward the barn-yard, turned a corner of tbe barn suddenly, and almost fell over two small boys, who, by the light of a lantern, were digging with an energy she had never seen equaled. The hole was already nearly, two feet deep. On the edge of it, awaiting burial, lay a heap of clothes. “Andy! Pop!” Perhaps it is as well to draw a veil over the scene that followed. Sufficient be it, that both the deacons were givGn a chance to exercise their muscles on two small boys, and that the boys in question “took their meals standing” for a week to come. More than all, the story got oat, and was the source of unmitigated delight to Tim Waters and Bob Harris, who, after all, had not gone in swimming on that fatal day, and who were never weary of taunting the unhappy revengers with their unfortunate mistake.

A Question of Etiquette.

(.Chicago Tribune.] In a French journal: “When a lady receives a visit from a gentleman, ought she to rise or remain seated when the visitor enters and when he takes his leave?” If the lady lives in Washington, says an American paper, she will rise without regard to Parisian etiquette and accompany him as far as the hall, to see that he does not carry off a ten-dollar ivory handled umbrella in place of the dollar-and-a-half cotton one usually oarriedbTTi«thm#t»tess>es,

Old People at Home.

When’ in late autumn we attempt to take up one of the plants . which have grown luxuriantly in a garden bed, we find that the danger to its life, in transplanting, is not so much the injury which its large roots are likely to receive, as the smaller ones, which are like little fingers reaching everywhere There is a strange likeness to this in the uprooting of a life which has for years been lived in one home. There is nothing sadder than to see the old father and mother give up their independent life and become inmates of a new home with their children. This change is often, if nht always, urged by sons and daughters from the purest motives. -They feel that the cares of housekeeping, the oversight of a home, are too great burdens for father and mother. “Come and live with us,” they-say, “and take life easy.” But few indeed, are the parents who can adjust themselves to the new relations, and their peculiarly homeless feeling. They seem to fit nowhere. They miss the old neighbors and all the little nameless associations that helped to fill up the measure of their days. They realize, as they never did in the old home, to which they gave tone and direction, how strongly the tide of young life flows on and leaves them behind, and unless their faculities are greatly impaired they are filled with sadness. They have nothing to do. Grandma can knit, and grandpa can do some trifling things, but there is nothing to satisfy them. It is no one’s fault; it is in the nature of things that this should be so; and so it seems that there should be less confidence placed in the appeals of children for their parents to break up the old home before necessity compels them to do s©. In our modern homes there are not many “corners built for old age,” and possibly old age is not content with a corner. However this may be, it certainly appears reasonable that so long as old people are able to carry on the home it is the wisest to leave them in it. I have in mind an aged couple who lived for over fifty years in one home. Their children left them, grandchildren also married and went to new homes, but the old home life went on. Interest in the great world outside was never lost; from constant use their faculties were apparently unimpaired; and when at 85 the mother, through bodily weakness, was compelled to stay in her room, that room became the center of interest in that house and neighborhood. “It is almost sunset,” said the father, “but we like to enjoy the few light hours before dark.” And they did enjoy them. In striking contrast is the remark made by an old man who lived or stayed first with one child and then another, with no settled home. “I wish,” said he, “that when a man comes to my age and condition there might be a law making it legal to shoot him.”

Poor Bill.

Ludicrous things will sometimes happen in the most solemn places. I venture to give the following, hoping that it may not displease the most proper: At the funeral of a certain well-known member of the San Franciso bar in 1868, the preacher failed to indulge in the usual harmless diversion of eulogizing the deceased —only reading the regular burial ritual. The omission was noticed and keenly felt by a friend of the departed. “Poor Bill,” said he, as he took the last look at his old chom, his voice trembling with emotion, “you and I have often wandered over the town together. I supposed I would have been called away first; I wish I had. It has been ordered otherwise.” Then, after looking sternly a moment at the derelict clergyman in the pulpit, he added, “I had thought on this occasion something good would have been said about you, but it has not been done. I would like to say something good about you myself, but—l oan’t.” Then, breaking down completely, he was gently removed.

The “Ruling Passion.”

A pointed example of the “ruling passion ”is recorded of one of the tollkeepers in Scotland. These tolls are gradually disappearing off the face of—if not of the earth, at any rate of Scotland. Many and varied are the recollections that linger around these tollhouses, In the case in question the lessee’s wife had been taken siok nigh unto death. The servio* s anti sympathies t f the clergyman were cs}led in. The rev-

erend gentleman was asked to engage in prayer at the bed-ide. He did so, and began, “ Ob, Lord—- “ Whisht !’* interrupted the feeble woman, “ I think I hear a cart.” — Harper's Magazine.

A Congregation of One.

(.Detroit Free Pres*.] The following anecdote is related as having actually occurred not many months ago in a large northern seaport city in England: It was Sunday, and it was raining as it never did rain but in the vicinity of mercantile shipping on the first day of the week. The docks boasted a little church, or bethel, which hoisted the union jack every Sunday morning, in token that services wonld be held there chiefly for sailors. The clergyman who officiated weekly at the bethel happened to be rather later than usual on the Sunday morning in question, owing to the difficulty he had in getting a cab, the rain having caused, those vehicles to be in great demand. He arrived, however, a few minutes before eleven, and hurriedly bidding the driver wait for him till the service should be over, he entered the sacred edifice—to find himself alone there. Probably sea-faring people are not more prone to church-going in wet weather than their- fellow-sinners who live on shore; anyhow, every seat was vacant. The clergyman was a very zealous man, so he resolved to wait a quarter of an hour, on the chance of some waif turning up. His patience was not left unrewarded, for, after the lapse of a few minutes, one very wet man came slowly in and seated himself with some hesitation on one of the back benches. Even he, probably, had only put into that haven under stress of bad weather outside, sll the public houses and other convenient places of shelter being closed. Now our pastor was not only a zealous but a conscientious man—not always the same thing—and he resolved that had he but one solitary unit instead of a congregation, he would pursue the service in full to the bitter end for that unit’s benefit—at least as long as that unit would bear it—and he proceeded to do so, and accomplished it. At the end of the liturgy, touched probably by the patient endurance of his auditor, he condescended to address him personally, telling him that since the inclemency of the weather—we are not in receipt of information on the point, but we feel sure he said inclemency—bad prevented the usual attendance at the church, he would forego the sermon be bad prepared, and would content himself with a few remarks.

This, however, his hearer begged him npt to do, and expressed a great desire to hear the sermon. So pleased with this evidence of intelligence among the lower orders, and gratified by the effect his eloquence was producing, he took his victim at his word and let him have it. The text duly chosen, blossomed in firstly, secondly, thirdly, fourthly, and lastly; “in conclusion” was followed by “one word more,” and still that unit sat on undismayed. After it was all over the preacher came down and shook hands with him, thanking him warmly for his attention, his gratification being somewhat diminished When he discovered the enraptured listener to be his cabman, the sum total of whose “half a crown an hour for waiting” had been materially augmented by the length of the worthy divine’s discourse.

It was a Hen.

A woman living on the other side of the river was very much annoyed by her neighbor’s hens scratching up the grass in her yard and doing other mischief, and making up her mind to be rid of these hens, she hit upon a happy idea for the immediate extermination of the unsuspecting biddies. She got a lot of corn and soaked it in water, which contained a large quantity of arsenic. Then, placing the corn in a tempting and inviting position in the yard, she retired to the house, and seating herself at the window, anxiously watched the result of her plan from behind the closed blinds. Presently three biddies made her yard a visit, gobbled up all the com and went home with full crops. In a short time all three keeled over. A pleasant feeling crept over the woman that her troubles from hens were at an end. A few hours later she glanced over into the next yard, when, horrorl what did she see! a huge pile of feathers on the ash heap. Mercy! it could not be possible that the owner of the poisoned hens had picked them and intended to eat or sell them, but somehow or other she couldn’t get this impression out of her mind. The more she thought of it the more uncomfortable she felt. Her experiment was not as satisfactory as it was a few hours before. She was not exactly scared, but then a kind of neighborly feeling seemed to steal over her very suddenly. Perhaps, since her neighbor had kept hens she had not been so pleasant to her, or treated her as kindly as she ought to have done. She was not anxious to know what was to be done with the dead hens. Oh, no! But she concluded to just run in and make a friendly call—just to ask after her neighbor’s health. After being pleasantly received, and discussing those choice little bits of news in which women most delight, she happened to notice the hens nicely plucked and lying in a basket. She casually remarked: “Why, Mrs. , what beautiful chickens; so nice and plump; where did you get them? How much a pound were they? But what are you going to do with three of them?” The reply was that she was going to cook one for dinner and sell the other two to the butcher, who had agreed to take them. The other woman said she was just going down town to order some chickens. She was going to have some company and would like the whole three; in fact, she wonld pay considerable more a pound than the butcher, because they were so nice and plump, and she knew where they were raised. The bargain was finally closed, the friendly call ended and the hens carried hoipe by a woman whose mind was very much relieved. It will never be known whether the owner of the hens ever knew the cause of their death; perhaps she did; perhaps she did not; perhaps she purposely put the feathers on the ash heap, knowing that it would scare the other woman. Perhaps so, who knows?

Anecdote of Agassiz.

The father of the famous naturalist was quite impatient at his son’s devotion to frogs, snakes and fishes, for he wanted Louis to be a merchant. But the boy would spend bis vacations traveling on foot through Europe, and carefully examining every species of natural history that he could find. Once he reached London when there was to be a meeting of the Royal Society, and, having a letter of introduction to one of the members, was permitted to be present. The gentleman said, “ I have a young friend here from Switzerland who thinks he knows something about fishes; how much, I have a fancy to try. There is, under this cloth, a perfect skeleton of a fish which existed long before man.” After describing it still further, he said to Agassiz, “Oan you sketch for me on the blackboard your idea of this fish?” The boy took the chalk and drew an outline of the fish, correct in every bone. The grave old doctors burst into loud applause, and Agassiz said it was the proudest moment of his life.

Science of Perfumes.

By • process known as enfleurage, which is the exposure of beef fat to fresh flowers in close boxes until it is thoroughly permeated mid charged with their odors, the perfumes of six flowers are obtained, which could in no other manner known to science be preserved apart from the fresh petals. Those flowers are violet, jasmin, tuberose, rose, orange flower and cassic (cinnamon flower). From those six there are fifty or more combinations made for the simulation of the odors of other flowers. Sweet pea is made with jasmin and orange flowers, hvacinth is counterfeited by jnnmin and tuberose; lily of the valley by violet and tuberose. But the resources of the perfumer are by no means confined to the pomades, as the scented fats are termed. He uses many oils, the principal of which are sandalwood, bergamot, lemon, rosemary, neroli (made from bitter orange flowers) paschouli and the attar of roses. It is very difficult to get the last named in a pure state, because its great cost tempts to dishonest adulteration. Very often rose-geranium oil is substituted for it. Musk is another important ingredient, entering as it does, into almost all perfumes, except those which are actually imitations of flower odors, or, as styled by perfumers, “natural,”—-as, for instance, heliotrope, tuberose, white rose and violet.

Matrimony.

After Eight Long Years.

The Cowardice of Suicide.

Suicide in the German army has of late years been increasing at an alarming extent and a large percentage of the cases are attributed to disappointment in love. Some one, in noting this fact and the difficulty the authorities have in finding a means to resist the progress of the evil, says the emperor might profit by a study of a leaf from the order-book of Napoleon. Under the consulate this same tendency had revealed itself, and Napoleon published the following order (dated 1801) to the forces under his command: “The grenadier Gcrdan has killed himself od account of a love afiair. In other respects be was a good soldier. This is the second occurence of this sort that lias taken place m the last month. The first consul desires to notify to the guard in the order of the day—first, that a soldier must learn to subjugate tho passions of grief and melancholy; secondly, that just as much courage is required to endure soul suffering with fortitude as to stand unmoved in the ranks under the fire of a battery. To give way unresistingly to sorrow—to destroy one’s self to escape distress of mind is equivalent to running away from a battle-field before one has been beaten. ”

A Word to ThinKers.

The perfection of a strengthening medicino consists in its leaving no unpleasant after es-. feets. Whisky, ale, beer and other alcoholic beverages excite the brain and blood vessels to unnatural activity, and, while the whirlpool of excitement lasts, all feeling of languor and distress is banished, but when the reaction comes, “the last Btate of that man is worse than the first.” Invalids should trust more to nature for their recovery and avoid the use of stimulants as altogether injurious. Be partial to a fruit and vegetable diet and choose such medicines as are strengthening to the wholo general system. To this end no better remedies can be used than Yellow Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juniper, Iron, Buchu, Celery and Calisaya, each of which has separate and distinct virtue, but when blended in a single compound excel all other remedies in giving health, strength and vigor to every part of the body. Such a compound is Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. Its harmonious action on the blood, lungs, liver, kidneys and muscular system is astonishing. Ask your druggist to get it for "you.

Magnetism of Books.

An author goes to his work with the same definite purpose as the mesmerist does—that is, to make his readers think the way he does on the subject he writes of. How far he succeeds depends upon his magnetic power; or in other words, on how far he can impose his own personality in the place of your own. Some books are fuller than others of this peculiar life—are as vivid and sparkling as sunlight on moving waters—although the language may be even commonplace, while the same subject, illustrated by the same figures of speech and written with apparently greater care and knowledge of the subject, fall flat on the mind and fail to make any impression whatever. An unmagnetic writer may vary his style as much as he likes, but he will always fails, no matter how great the truths he presents. Many a polished, scholarly intellect has had to bow before the rough and ready oratory or writing of one his inferior in everything else but that peculiar power of impressing others. • ' A physician says • “ I know many who had long suffered from dyspepsia, weak lungs, asthma, consumptive symptoms, impure blood, s ro r u>«, etc., and who found quick relief by usiug Dr. Guysott’s Tonic Of Yuliow Pock, Sarpapartila, etc,"

ADVICE TO CONSUMPTIVES.

On the appearance at the first symptoms— as sensations, followed by night sweat* ani ocragS —prompt measures for relief should be taken. Consumption is scrofulous disease of the lungs —therefore use the great anti-scrofula, or blood purifier lud strength restorer, Dr. Pieroes “ Golden Medical Discoveir."
