It consisted Wilson and her three unmarried dautrcters. and the subject under such ani mated discussion waa how and where they should oren their usual summer campaign It has alwavs been an interesting subject, and, to the maternal element, attended with considerable amtiety, but never such a matter of perplexity almost amounting to aepair, as now. The contents of the various wardrobes had been laid out and examined; silka and mus lins, cambrics and lawns, sufficient it would mm. for a dozen, and the two -elder Misses Wibon declared with tears in their eyes "that they had nothing, absolutely nothing to wear. It u noteworthy with what surprising unanimity the two sifters agreed on th point. Mrs. AViLon looked with dismay upon the flnerv spread out before her, after listening to the above assertion. "I'm sure, my dear," she ventured to say, gome of them are hardly worn, and with a little alteration " Now, mammal" interrupted Belle, "why will you talk so ridiculously wnen you know there is not a thing here but what is wretchedly out of style. As to altering anything, it always give me a pain in the side to sew, and I am not going to Saratoga all fagged out, if I never go!" Of course this settled it. It' a little curious what a small amount of work will fag' a girl all out, who can dance until the break of day without the slightest inconven ience. "There's one thing certain," said Lucy, the second daughter, "we've got to have at least one new drts.'' "I don't know where it's to come from, then," responded Mrs. Wilson, sinking down wearily into a chair. "It was as much as I could do to get pa's consent to going at all. It was 2 o'clock at night before he gave in, aud then I verily behve it was from pure weariness and inability to keep awake any longer." Mrs. Wilaon said this with an air of a woman determined to perform her duty at all hazards, and anxious to obtain credit for the same. Bat it seemed to have quite the contrary effect upon Josie, the youngest daughter who had not before spoken, but who now burnt forth: "I declare, if it isn't a sin and a shame, mamma, tor you to worry pa sol" Mrs. Wilson cast a reproachful look upon the speaker. "I will eay, Josie, that you are the most ungrateful child I ever saw. I'd like to know how much money I'd get out of your pa if I didn't worry it out. But that's all the thanks I get for lying awake nights, scheming and planning how to give you a chance to get settled in lifo-" "I'd thank you for not doing ia, I'm not going to Saratoga or Long Branch. In the first place I know that pa can't afford it. And then I promised Mary Crofton that I would visit her this summer." Though ilr.-. Wilson alfoctcd to be dia1leased at this announcement, she was secrety relieved. Belle and Lucy were very well suited with this arrangement too. Josie was very handy at furnishing up and making over, and if she was determined to bury herself in a county farm house, she would not i.ced so much of that for herself and cculd thereforo devote more time to them. And so busy did they keep her during the two weeks that followed, that Josie was glad enough to see the big trunks all packed and waiting in the hall. To save expenses, Mrs. Wilson had arranged to dismiss the servants, and shut up the house, with the exception of one room for her husband, who was to take his meals at his sisters. "Of course, she won't charge him anything, so that will be one item saved," remarked Mrs. Wilson as she regarded complacently the effect of ßylle's new dre-- which her management bad secured. "As though pa would board there for nothing,' was Jooie's indignant rejoinder, "when Uncta William had such a hard time to get along." "Well, if your pa chooser to pay when he needn't and it isn t expected of him, it's his own loa. For my part I don't see what's the good of having relations if you can't make use of tnem 3lrs. Wilaon certainly believed in making her relatives usefnl carrying out that belief to ita fullest extent, whenever it was practicable, as some of them knew to their cost. Even her love for her daughters partook of the selfishness of her intensely selfish nature, her chief anxiety being to get them 'off her hands," and in a manner that would be as advantageous and reflect as much credit on herself as possible. But they were gone, at last, and Jcie was at liberty to make her own simple preparations, which did not take her long to complete. The father and daughter had a nice quiet tea together. Josie was going on the morrow, and as. sitting opposite him and pouring out Lis tea, she eaw the hard lines soften in his careworn tace, and how happy he was in her society, her heart reproached her for leaving him. I have half a mind not to go, papa, it seema too bad to leave you here all by yourself." But Mr. Wilson would not hear to this. 'I insist upon your going; you have been working hard, and you nesl a change. My life would be much the same anyhow" You can expect me in three weeks, papa," smiled Jo.e, from the car window the next morning. "You will want your little houseketer bv that time, 1 know. And Mr. Wilson went back to the corroding anxieties which had made him an old man before hb time, thanked God for this oit of sunshine, and which left ita glow in the heart lone after it had vanished. There was only a few passengers for Bay-ride-e. a small town in the interior of the State, though there were the usual loungers upon 'the platform of the station as Josie stepped out. But they soon scattered, leaving her to stare blankly around for the carriage that she supposed would be waiting for her at the.etation. She walked clear around the station look Ing in every direction, but not a vehicle was In sight exoept a rough box wagon, with a board acrott u, drawn by a pair of spirited black hones, that stamped their feet and tossed their heads as if Impatient to be off. A man stood beside the restive creatures, that yet seemed to be under perfect control, 'there, Jenny I Be easy, JUtel" he .aid.

verv much a3 a mother would to a child. Ihe baggage-master was standing near a pile of trunks and parcels. "Is this your trunk, 4 miss!" he said, as Josie approached him. "Yes, I ws expecting friends here to meet me, but they are not here. There must be some mistake " "I know most of the people around here What might tho name be?" "Crofton." "Why, bless me, you've got off at the wrong station. They live at North Bayndge, five miles beyond. "When does the next train leave?" ''To-morrow morning." Josie looked the dismay that she ceitainly felt at this announcement. "It's too bad, I declare," said the goodnatured officer, pitying Josie's evident distress. Then as his eyes fell upon the owner of the team, who was looking toward them, he added. If this ain't a 6treak of luck! Here's John Manning, their next neighbor, lie can take you along just as well as not." "John, here's a vouno1 woman thtt'a trot , o - o off at the wrong station. She wants to go to Crofton 's. I tell her she can ride with you." The young man removed his straw hat, revealing a forehead broad and full, whose whiteness contrasted stronglv with the healthy brown of the cheeks below. "I shall be very happy, H the young lady uaa no oojecuon io riaing wiin a larmer, and in a farmer's wagon." The admiration so clearly visible in the honest blue eyes that met her own. made Josie's cheeks redden. "If it will not be too much trouble." As the young man listened to those low. softly spoken words, he felt nothing the speaker could ask would be any trouble at all. Springing to work, he soon improvised quite a comfortable seat for Josie by passing a rope from one stake to another, lust back of the board in front, throwing a thick, soft blanket over the whole. Glad to be released, Jenny and Kate bore them swiftly alone the winding country road, dotted here and there by farm houses, nestled down among trees and shrubbery. As soon as Josie got a little used to it she enjoyed her elevated and novel position, which gave her a fine view of the beautiful country through which they were passing. Her companion smiled at her enthusiastic exclamations and comments, seeming to take pleasure, they being so frankly and inno cently expressed. "Do you think you would like to live in the country ?'' he asked, stealing an admiring glance at tne glad young lace, "Above all things,' responded Josie "that is," she added, after a moment's pause, "if papa could bo here too. 1 wish he could be, jut for a little while; he would enjoy it so. rapa was brougnt up on a farm, and it would seem like old times to hear him. 1 heard him say once that he wished he had never left it." I had a strong desire, when a boy, to go to the city, where I could get a chance to get rich, and not have to work so hard. But I am the only son an only child since last winter " here the speaker's eyes saddened. s a V J . , . aava. v.il, kunk wouldn't leave the farm while mother lived. I rtertmioH fjthor nut tuitViro ha Alan that I and I doi t know that I care to do so now. "I wouldn't if I were in vour nl&ca " sai.1 Josie, with a wise shake of her pretty head. "It's dreadful hard times in the citv. Ev erybody is groaning about them, which makes it dismal enough. And as to working bard I'd like to know who works harder than papa does. It's ever so much nicer here." fne honest young fellow whose heait was in his e-es, inwardly hoped that she would always think so. ' 1 hero is where I live ha said, aloud. pointing to a homo with a wide piazza running around two sides, and which looked verry pleasant amid the green verduro that surrounded lt.. Young Manning drew the reins at the gate m a " a a inside ol which a pleasant-laced, silverhaired woman was standing. "ilere the mail mother, he said tossing down to her some papers and pamphlets. "Been lonely, any? I'm going to take this young lady to Mr. Crofton's My mother, Miss Wilson." The young man took leave of Josie, with a feeling at bis hctrt pnch ns he had never ex. perienced before. "How pretty she isr he thought, "and as good as pretty, I am sure." What an honest and pleasant face! I won der if I shall ever see him again?" This was what she thought. Josie did see him again and quite often. The Mannings and Cruftons were not only neighbors, but very intimate. Mary CrofV-n had always been strongly attached to Mrs. Manning s only daughter, who died the pre ceding winter. She spent a good deal of the time at her house, and Josie frequently with her. Mary was never weary of praising John; he was such a good son, and so intel ligent, steady and industrious. oonn soon got over his shyness with Josie, who took so kindly to country ways that it seemed as if she had always lived in the country. He used to walk home with her. Mary considerately lingered by the gate to talk with his mother, well pleased with the turn affairs were taking. Then they were rides and walks, picnics and social gatherings, at all of which John and Josie had a fashion of getting off to themselves a fashion that every one seemed to honor and understand. And so the happy days went on, each day binding those young, loving hearts more closely together. W hen Josie returned to the city, which was two weeks later than she intended, she had a pleasant story to whisper in her father's ear. "If you love him, and he is worthy of you," he said, in reply to the query with which it ended. Josie's quick ear detected the adnees that underran these words. "You know you promised to live with me when 1 was married, papa," she whispered, laying her cheek closely to his. "And on a farm, too! won t it be delightful?" Belle and Lucy returned home with that conscious air ot subüued tnumpn ana importance peculiar to young "engaged ladies." Having attained the end and aim of their existence, there was nothing further for them to hope or expect. From henceforth they were to repose upon their laurels, floating down the stream of life, with no thought or care for anything but the present enjoy ment. Belle's captive was a Wall street broker. owning a fabulous amount on paper. Lucy's was the son of a millionaire, whose ambition seemed to be to spend as quickly as possible the money that bis father had labored to acquire. They made no attempt to disguise their surprise and disdain when they heard oi Jobio's modest conquest. "Only a farmer 1" sniffed Mrs. Wilson. "Never did I dream that one of my daugh ters would stoop to that I But I suppose if you have vour father's approval you don't care for mine.' vou can't exnect us to vistt you," said Belle, loftily, "the connections of Charles Augustus are all of the highest and most aristocratic character, and it couldn't be thought of." "Certainly not," echoed Lucy. "A wife has to take the position of her husband. which is something you had better think of. Joaie bad thought of it, and very happy thoughts tney were, too. The financial disasters of the three years that followed made quite a change in the surroundings of all the above, with the ex ception ef Jceie and her husband. Out of the wrecks of Mr. Wilson's business nothing was left but the honor and integrity which shone all the more brightly from the temporary gloom that shrouded him. . His wife took their altered fortunes very hard. fairly fretting and worrying herself into the

grave, where she was laid a few months after.

Penniless, and unfitted for anything higher, the husbands of Belle and Lucy were glad to accept position, one as a conductor on a city car, the other a third-rate clerkship. Josie did not see much of her sisters, but many a barrel of apples and crock of butter found their way to them from the Manning farm. . . Almost every pleasant afternoon a grayhaired, p'acid-looking old man can be seen on the western piazza of the farm-house, with a grandchild on each knee. It is Mr. Wilson, who often thanks God that one o: his daughters married "only a farmer." The Two Squirrels. LIZZIE C. DE ERIN G. Once there were two squirrels, who lived neighbors to each other in a great forest. One pleasant but frotty day, when the nuts were dropping, they both started out of their holes in the big chestnut tree?, and began to frisk about in the sunshine and to chatter and eat nuts. These two squirrels looked just alike, but, in realitv, they were different; for oLe of them, after playing a few minutes began to nil his cheeks with nuts, and scamper off to his hole, to pack them away. ljut the other kept on playing and eatmc. and seemed to think of nothing but having a good time. "Why don t you work part of the time? said the busy squirrel "Don't you know that a long, cold winter is coming, when all these nice nuts wil be covered with snow?" "There willbe plenty of time to work before the snow comes. We don't have weather like this every day, and I am going to enjoy myself while it lasts. . I can work when the sun doesn't shine so warm and bright. If you choose to spend all of your time working, you can. But as for me, I intend to enjoy myself." So do I," said the smart squirrel, "but I intend to get my work done first. After I get my hole full of nuts, I shall have nothing to worry about. 2No matter how hard the wind blows, or how deep the snow is, I shall have enough for.all winter. I am well and strong to-day, and it is pleasant to work out here in th "inshine, but to-morrow I may be sick or it iuy str-rtu "So r h .l work, and yon may play, All tl-U bright October day; Hat uh' u tu torms of winter roar, Pc &'t coujo beging at my door." So the days passed on. Up and down, up and down, th busy squirrel went, until hi b'le M&- full to the running over vi'.h ripy, fnt nuts. But the lazy squirrel pVl and frioked about, filled his stomach '"Head of his checks with nuts, and laughed at thone who were wasting such pleasant daye in labor. But at last one morning when he wakod up hj was surprised to find how cold it teemud. He peeped out of his hole, and behold', it wns snowing. The ground was already c'erod an inch deep. 'Whew!" exclaimed he, "the. snow has come early, this year. It surely is not time for winter yet. I must go to work, after this melts away, as it 6urely inuit, and lav in my food for winter. But as ho looked around at the bar branches of the tre, and heard the wind whistling through them, ho thought to himself, "this certainly seems like winter, but it can not be possible that it has come so soon. But I must see what I can find for breakfast. I guees I can scratch away the snow, and get a Tew nuU." So out he went, and as he passed his neighbor's home, he glanced up slyly to see if she were looking out. H felt ashamed. lie went off quite a distance, and finding a spot were he remembered he saw some nuts tne day before, commenced to crutch away the snow. Ho found several, but it was cold work, and made his paws he. He went back to his neat, wondering what he should do, if winter had really come in earnest. All day long the snow kept falling. Night came and he had to go to bed without any supper. In the morning, he felt almost starved. He looked out; the now was very deep, and more was falling. He thought of all tho nice nuts that lay under it, and wished that he had taken time in the warm, sunny days to g;tthor them. But ft was too 1st now. His heart was very heavy and bis stomach very empty. He thought of his neighbor with her nest packed so full of walnuts, chefctnuti and delicious little beechnut?. It made him very, very hungry. As the day passed by, he felt as if he could not endure it an v longer. So he went over to his neighbor's house and peeped in. There she was, a snug and warm as could be, cracking nuts, and singing to her mate: "I'm glad worked wben ths days wer warm. And saved for stormy wnathsr; For" hud wn not, in ibis bad storm V might liavn starved together." He tood there so ashamed that he could not peak for awhile. He had never begged before . and it was hard work much harder than gathering nuts in the sunshine would have been but he had to confess, at last, J that he wa? nenriy starved, and to ask for a few nuts. "1 should be glad to give you enough to last you all winter, it I had them to spare, said the squirrel, "but I only laid in enough or mv own familv. and the sicrm foretell a very hard winter. I can give you a few for your breakfast though.' ao the poor squirrel took them and went home. But they didn't last long. Oh! the miserable hungry days that followed! Tho squirrel pined day after day for food. He was glad to get anything to eat. sometimes he found a few nuts that had staid on the trees, and when a thraw came, as it did occasionally, he could find some under the snow, utten ne was giaa even to cnew Dark, and nibble tho buds from the trees. But it was a hard winter, and he was a thin misera ble-looking squirrel when spring came. But it taught him a good lesson, and when another fall came, and the nuts began to drop, there wasn t a busier squirrel to be found. V hen his neighbor saw how smart he was, she changed her old song a little. It was now: "First we'll work and then ws'li play. On this bright October day." and he sang with her, at her top of his voice. "Daisy Eyerlght'a" Advice to Girls. "Never marry a man who has only his love for you to recommend him. It is very fasci nating perhaps, but it does not make the man, and it ne is not in otner ways what he should be, you never will be happy. On the other band, the most perfect man who does not love you should never be your husband. But, though marriage without love is terri ble, love only will not do; for if the man is given to vice, or is mean or dishonorable with other men, the time will come when ou will either loathe him or sink to his level. is hard to remember amidst kisses and praises, that there is anything else in the world to be done or thought of but love making; yet the days of life are many, and the husband must be trusted a companion, a friend, as well as a lover. Many a girl has married a man whom she knew to be anything but good, 'because he loved her so,' and the flame has died out on the hearthstone of home before long and beeide it there has been sitting one that she could never hope would lead her heavenward, or who, if she followed him as a wife should, would guide ner steps amiss. ' Terfect Praise From Childish tips. ICbrlatiaa Register. 'Call his name Jesus." That name was no monopoly of Mary's sacred child, but a familiar name among the Jews, who, in its Hebrew form.presorved the fame of "Joshua," the conqueror of Canaan.

The ladies had before been excluded from the galleries, but when the famous Jay treaty was brought home tnere were heated debates in the House of Representatives on its ratifi cation. One night at a party Mrs. Ijincrdon expressed her regret to Fisher Ames of Massachusetts, that sho could not hear the arguments, especially his speeches.
