OLD CL OCX.

I Lovo inn cottage is very sweet at first, but when clunks come in tho cot-

tage wall and tho winter wind rises and blows through then there must bo bought piaster to iill 'in the chinks, for love, like many another sweet, when exposed too much to the air, sours.

When Nannie' Kent was a pretty, singlo girl, people shook their heads and warned her against listening to tho suit of Harry Dean. lie was only a poor teamster and had nothing but his weekly wages. Sho lived at home with her I mother, helping her do the plain sewing whie.li the neighborhood required and occasionally hiring out to help tho farmers' wives at harvest time.

So the two young folks wero equally poor and equally without expectations, I but when did lovo ever hesitate at circumstances like these? All his old, subtie arguments aro known. They were used in this case.

All theso arguments were used to justify and further the suit of Harry Dean. It is so easy for love to convince love that love should bo indulged. So tho old arguments were successful, as usual, and tho young peoplo were married.

Who can tell of the bliss of those first few months, while lovo grew and ripened between tho two hearts when even the stinting and saving wero a pleasure, and sacrifice was pleasant because dictated by love? Harry worked hard, because now lie hr.d such a real purpose in working. By dint of doing overtime ho made some extra money, which all went to swell the little hoard which tlioy were laying by for a rainy day, and they were happy hours which tho old kitchen clock ticked away as it stood on the white floor and beamed over the household.

Nannie communed much with the eld timepiece about noon and supper time. Sho would look at its smiling faco and then listen till sho heard a step on the walk and the cheery voice of Harry at the door.

Even lin first grief that fell on tho household was made sweet to Nannie by tho consciousness that thero was a loved one sharing it with her.

It was just six weeks before her little DUO came that Nannie's mother died and left a void in tho homo that the advent of tho little stranger only partly filled.

Tho baby was a boy, and they named it Harry xor its proud father. There were some things the little one didn'thave which it might havo had had not so much of tho parents' savings gono to pay tho grandmother's doctors' bills and funeral expenses. But he thrived and grew vigorous and hardy. Ho was past a year old and had begun to toddlo

ever known came to tho Dean household. Lovo in his arguments had proved an arrant fallacist. Ho omitted so many contingencies which might arise when tho object lio urged was culminated. He had failed to tell Nannio how Harry might fall sick and loso work and leave her with throo mouths to feed. It was at the most discouraging time, too— near tho closing down of winter. It seemed very hard that typhoid should take Harry just then, just when his strong arm and the result of his labor were so much needed, when the family treasury was so greatly depleted, when the stoves needed coal and tho baby woolens. No wonder that Nannie's heart grew heavy when she saw tho task that was sot for her hands to do. But she took up tho strugglo bravely, as only a woman can whose great lovo has mado her heroic. There was tho baby to tend, Harry to nurso and tho living to make. Through many days sho sat sewing by her husband's bod, while the baby played on the floor, and at night, when tho little ono was asleep, she joined the double duties of gaining overtime on her stitches and watching tho invalid's feverish slumbers. Now and then a neighbor dropped in to reliove her, but more often her vigils were kept alone.

The winter was turning into spring when Harry grew able to get out again. Tho long weeks of work and anxiety had told upon tho strength and energies of Nannie, and her weakness, apparent in the weary voice and slow step, made her husband impatient to assume his old place in the household. "I'll havo to bo doing something pretty I soon, Nannie," ho said one day, "to

take tll0 btirdeil off of your shoulderS,

or, first thing wo know, you'll bo down." Nannio smiled, but sho knew that her work was not over yet, for in spite of her best efforts during Harry's illness* they were in debt, and now that ho was up again work was hard to find.

Ono day, as his wifo was sitting despondently in tho little kitchen, he sprung across tho threshold with a glad cry. "Nannie, Nannio, I've got a chance

"The cottage that is largo enough for

two is largo enough for three. Tho added advantage of tho man's wages will moro than offset the additional expense of his ke.''p. The responsibility of a wife and homo will make a man frugal and thrifty."

to pay off our debts and havo a little sura left over to help us on, if you'll consent to something."

Her faco brightened, and she replied: "What is it I wouldn't consent to do to be able to do that, Harry? Tell me, what is your plan?" "You know thero is a wealthy woman from the city visiting the doctor's wife?" "Yes." "Well, she heard that wo had an old fashioned clock, and .she wants to buy it. She'll give us $03 for it. Think of it, £03!"

"Sell the old clock, ed his v/ii-j. "Yvy-, ho replied.

She looked at him with pained eyes. After tho long struaglo of tho past win--n.'.lr

ter it wounded her to hear hint spec so. She started to speak, but tho tears came up and drowned her voice, and siie buried her head in her apron and sobbed.

Iiarry put on his hat and left tho house. His heart had been so set upon the advantages of tho sale that tho disappointment made him unreasonable.

After the relief of tears Nannie's mind was clearer, and sho began to think. After ail, the old cio'Av could do them no good, and if tho sale of it would set them right with the world again was it right to let mere feeling stand in

tJlQ way Sho dccided that it was not

Sho was a very sensible girl, was Nannie, and practical withal. The clock must go, she said to herself. Sho would tell Harry when he came in again.

But sho was only a woman, and at the thought of parting with the old timepiece tho tears camo rushing back, and sho leaned her head against its faco and wept. Siio lifted the baby from the floor and said between her sobs: "Kiss the old clock, Harry kiss it goodby. Mamma's going to sell it, so tho baby can havo a now dress and shoes.

Tho baby did not kiss the clock, but mado a frantic grab at ono of tho high parts on tho top. Tho giuo must have been broken and loose, for with a crack it came oil in his hand. Nannie would havo cried out in dismay, but a great jingling accompanied tho mishap, and her exclamation was turned to ono of jjei. ]ieaif]1 joy as several bright coins rolled at her feet. She seized tho post and examined it. It was hollow and filled with oid coins. It had covered a recess in the top of the clock, in which thero were many similar gold piece.-?. When reduced to the value of present money they amounted to several linn Ired dollars.

Whan Iiarry came home, penitent and anxious to apoiogi/.e for his actions of tiio morning, Nannio flow to him with open arms. "Oh, Harry, boy! Harry, boy! wo won't havo to sell tho old clock, anyway! Look what baby found in it!" Stupefaction, comprehension and wild joy followed each other in quick succession through Hanw's mind. Then lie folded his wifo and baby in his arms and wept, while tho old clock beamed on tho scene from its place in the corner, and all unmindful of tho indignity tiiac had boon placed on its venerable head murmured on— tick, toclc, tick, tock. Chicago Nows.

Thought Ho Was lieecher. When Henry Ward Beechcr was at tho height of his career, there were a few men who resembled him near enough to bo able to duplicate him in public. Among tlioso was Judgo of Buffalo, who sometimes found the likeness a source of annoyance. At ono timo iho judge was travoling with a party of ladies who were under his care. He gallantly ascribed tho attention ho received to them, but on an occasion when ho retired to tho smoking car tho riddlo was solved. Tho moment ho left tho parlor car a couple of strange men hurried in, and after apologizing to tho ladies for the intrusion asked very earnestly if the gentleman in their company wero not Mr. Beecher. Upon being assured that ho was not, ono man turned to the other, and handing him a roll of bills said: "Tako thoin yon'vo won." Then,

on tho mantel and not tako up so much room in the kitchen." "lint 1 couldn't do it, Harry. I couldn't do it. It was mother's, and her mother's before her, and it would bo like parting with ono of the family, Don't ask me to consent to that, Iiarry. Surely, thero will bo scmu oviior way opened for us. "Good chances don't conic in droves, said Harry sullenly. "You see, I can't get work, and I thought sure you would bo willing to do that much to help along. You ought to be reasonable, Nannie.''

One of thoso grammarian friends met me tho other day and asked me which was correct, "Tomorrow is Sunday" or "Tomorrow will be Sunday." I told him the following story: Years ago the Reading Railroad company issned an order requiring its brakemen, as soon as a train started from any station, to call out the name of the next stopping place.

For awhile the trainmen, instructed doubtless by some grammarian of tho road, wonld do this by saying, "Next station will be"—Allentown, Reading, etc. An oditor took them to task for it, pointing out the absurdity of using the future tense in speaking of that which always is in the same place. After that the brakemen dropped "will be" and cried, "Next station" Allentown, Reading, etc.—Philadelphia Call.
