MAMMA'S BADDISH BOY.

Making diggies" on the wall, Making mad-pies in the hall, Makiug "horse lines" of my shawl. Making trouble for as all, That's Willie. Hammering npon the floor, Shou ing till his throat 1 sore. Making all youth's batteries roar, Ail tuts and Ten more. That's Willie. Soiling all his finest clothes. Stubbing out bis ITreoch-kld" toes. Dirty cut-rks aud dirty nose, Caring little bow he goes. That's Willie. Ah! my heart is sore and tad, Thiukiug of my naugbty lad, Other tumnttuas never had, Never had a boy so bad, As Wiliie. But when cuddled down to sleep. And his arms aronnd me cref p, Askiu,; Ud bis soul to keep, Ti en in tender love I weep, Then I know I hold too cheap My precious Wiliie. THE DEACON'S DREAMS. "Mary, look at the bread, won't you? It's done, I guess." "In a minute, mother," and the young girl bent still lower over the book she was reading. A footstep sounded upon the wellbtaten yard, and both mother and daughter started nervously, the latter slipping her bok hurridly out of sight, and starting toward the stove. "I might just as well give up first as last, I suppo-e." "Un, Willie, did father say vcu couldn't go?" It was tbe little girl who spoke, and her face flamed red and hot as she turned to her brother. "Of course he did I 1 might have known it," he added, in a choked voice, "but I did thiuk that surely he would consent when he knew how much I wanted to go to College, and how. hard I had tried to p;epare for entering this fall " "Did you tell him about it, Willie?" "i'es, but he only said I needn't say another word; he had 'set hU foot down' that his boys bhould be farmers, and farmers had no need of college; it only made them lazy and stuck-up lazy and stuck-up! As if I wouldn't work my fingers to the bone and study all night long, if only" and his voice broke away in a sob. 11a wa? sixteen; a great, shy, awkward boy ; with a promise of manly beauty on the smooth lace, und broad, white brow; a prophecy of ruble manhood in tue elear eye?, und tbe firmly set lips and well-poised hed. This was his ambition: to go to College, to know the many, many things that students knew; by day and by night it had been his one wild hope, sleeping or waking, jver present with him. '1 do think it's too bid, and father is just as minn as he caa be! I don't care!'' she jxclaimed defiantly, turning determinedly iwav from her mother's admonitory, "Alary ! Mary! Child!" "I don't care! If father wanted us all to hate him he couldn't try harder than he is doing all the time to bring it about. There isn't a day that be doesn't "set his foot down," as he says, to something we all hate and protest agaiust. You know as well as I do, that if it hadn't been tor some thing Lu beth would never have left borne, ana if he don't mind, there'll be one or two others mUsing one of these mornings." And having "daid her say," she turned her flashing gray e) es and flushed, burning face away from them toward the heated oven, where, after giving the nicely-baked bread & vigorous thump and shake, she depositee! it agtio, instead of upon the table, as she should have done. 'Well, grieving won't do my work," said tho boy, with a pititul attempt at cheerfulness. "I'll jut have to quit thinking rabout it, that' all!'' and he walked slowly .away from the houie, and off over tbe meadow lot, with a sad, hopeless air tbat znade the mother's heart ache. A whitwr wk came over the patient, care-worn fac and the lines about her mo ulb settled into tense rigidity m Mrs lley worth's eyes lollowed her son. Was it right? Was it just tbat her children's live should thus be cramped and narrowed down to the standard of one little soul? So well she knew her children's troubles that she could not at heart blame them for this sudden outburst that had taken place. She went about her work in a cheerless, mechanical sort of way. Ever and anon she recalled the words of Mary with a sliver: "If he don't mind, there'll be one or two others missing one of these mornings." Would it really end in that at last? Already they were searching elsewhere for the freedom to think and act that was denied at .home. Was it right that all the sunshine, all the happiness should be crushed out of their lives? She knew that it was not, and bad not sne an equal right to determine Upon their future with their father? The sunbeams slowly lengthened, creeping up and over her feet, her work, and her folded hands, until they flashed upon her with a sudden blindness. "Come, Mary, it's most time for supper, ind father! soon be in Irom the field,' and the "gathered up her work with a weary igh. "The Deacon is kind enough at heart," she thought, half apologetically, "only he's so set.' For a moment she lingered in the doorway, then, turning away, said hurriedly: "The men are coming; you skim the milk, child, while I cut the bread. Where is the bread?" and she glanced inquiringly from the empty bread-cloth to her daughter. "Oh, mother! As I live, I do believe!" She opened the oven door slowly, and with the air one might be supposed to wear going to their execution. The bread was almost in a blaze, and blacker than any hat you ever saw, or any Chloe that ever lived. This was the climax of misfoitune; burnt bread was the Deacon's particular aversion, the eating of which he always considered by him worthy of an indefinitely greater patience than the incomparable Job ever possessed. Before tnis new evil all other troubles "piled as stars before the sun," and for a while Mrs. Hey worth's sorrows were swallowed by the trembling question, "What -will father say?" Deacon Hey worth's day's work was done long ago, and he sat as usual, in his easy chair, with his feet upon the fender. The evening wa3 cool just cool enough to make a fire enjoyable and with his paper and apples, and a glass of cider beside him, he prepared to enjoy himself to the full. Iiis wife sat near him with busy fingers; her work was not yet done would never be, she often thought, wearily, until her hands and feet and heart were still in death. The corner clock struck 9, and the Deacon laid aside his paper; Mrs. 11 ey worth's opportunity had come at last, the moment she had waited for anxiously. "Something must be done. Ob, if only I could say something to convince him! His heart is kind and good enough, if only it could be got at kind o' like green moss and shining bells under the water when its frozen over ea?y enough to be got at when the ice breaks and floats away." Father," she commenced, desperately, "College begins next week." "Yes, I know," and the Deacon's voice expressed slight irritation. "Willie does want to go so bad, 'pears like it's a shame for the boy to be disappointed." The Deacon's face became flint. I've explained to William my reasons for not letting him go to College. I told

him he could not go, and when I say

mini? i mean u. jl ve S6i my ioai down you never pretend to ask me what I think of such or such things, and for all I'm so quiet like, and don't say anvthine. I feel it nevertneiess, ana l ve begun to wonder when my time'll come!'' Tbe Deacon easped. nd his wife, throw. ing away her last remnant of timidity, conunuta: iwi v j v iicvo uccu uiarneu now men onio iwenty-nve rears, .Nathan, but 1 can t re member the time when I ever set my f ,ot down that such a thing should or should not be done!" She paused a moment, with the scarlet stamm? her face like some bashful girl's. and her husbmd, watching the new light in her ufUHily drooping eyes, stammered out, with fast-expiring dignity: . -w w w w "i i m surprised, i am. nan nan; l am surprise J I" That's very likely," answered his wife meekly; "we are always surprised if a person ventures an opinion different from our own, and I suppose you are all the more surprised at my attempting a thing I never w f o - d d betöre; but it's gone on and on, until I can stand it no longer, Nathan, and I must speak. I've worked long and hard for you, now. more'n twenty years. Many and many's the night I've eone to bed too tired to sleep, and it 'pears like I never eet rested any more. Jilary ain't stout, you know, and an tne orunt or the work comes on me. I look old and feel old to be only forty-five, and it's the hard work that's done it; a hired girl would have been a mighty help and blessing fcometimes, but you never seemed to think about it, and I never grumbled any, wnen i ve vnougni u over and I've done it nunareas ana nunareas or times-it tech es uiigi-kjr cos to uv aiwayg set asiae use nouvKajf at nw, buu uavc my wisues ana opinions continually talked against, for I never forgot that I'm your wife, Nathan, and have an equal right, with you, to say what snouia or enouia not be done! Her voice trembled for a moment, but the J a. . , I "w tw gcai. ior wo. us, nuu PUO 11UI 1 1CU VU. . . .

There's Thomas ; that boy's heart is set on going to singing school he can sing more songs row than I ever knew in all my life, and he takes so natural-like to the notes and tunes I don't fee why you Cftn't let him go, Nathan, for it would only do him good, he's always so happy when he's singing, and God knows sorrow comes soon enough to most folks. Mary wants to go to school so bad that she cries every morning when she sees the boys and girls go by. I know I couldn't do all the work, but hired help is easy got, aud you'd never miss the money that would pay a girl her wages. Now, as to Willie's going to College. I don't want to appear contrary, Nathan, but I've wanted it all along, and I do think the boy ought to go. It's my notion he'll never make a farmer, he's too set on his books not but what a farmer can be as smart as anybody, but it's not in nature to do one thing well, when your whole heart and soul are hankericg after something else. (Nol I say let Willie go to College, and let -Mary go to e.hool, and Thomas to tbe singing-school, if they want to go; it'll do you good, for there's none of our children going to be any of the innorant stock, let me tell you that. Of course you can't do the work, nobody expects you to; but you've got the money that'll hire it done, and it's a great deal better to be a few dollars out of pocket and have the 1 ve of your children than to leave it all to them after awbile, and mebbe having them feeling glad when you're gone.' "I think, sometimes, per'aps if ycu'd been a little more kind and gentle like to Elizabeth, she might 'a " Mis' Ueyworthl Hannahl" exclaimed the husbana, with suddenly awakened dignity, "1 hope you'll not attempt to blame me for what that sinful girl may have done; me, a Deacon?" And he clasped the chair's arm firmly, while his feet took an amazed jump from the fender to the floor. being a Deacon doe-n't help tbe mattor a bit, and it won't help you, either, when it comes to the last, and if you've not tried, or done anything to make anyone else happy, I'm afraid there'll not be much happiness for you. Folks can sin in not doing what they ought to do, as well as in doing what they ought not; and we'll be judged for what we have not done as well as for what we have. No, Nathan! make your children happy, and no matter if it does take a little money to do it, you'd far better leave them without a cent than to have your memory mould and rot because you denied them these favors. It takes mighty little, sometimes, to make another one happy, but I've a notion it goes a long way with God." Deacon Hey worth could not sleep. He was, to say the least of it, surprised. This was not Hannah's usual wav or talking, and he could not imagine what fn the world possessed her now. It she had spoken angrily he could have replied, but her language had been so calm, so dispassioned, so straightforward, that he had not the least opportunity for anger. For a while he could think of nothing but the strangeness of his patient, gentle-voiced wife talking in this way to him; then gradually her words came back to him, and the more he remembered of them the more they troubled him; but not that he thought he 'looked at things in too strong a light," for what need was there for Willie to go to College? He never went, never wanted to go, even ; tne boy knew too mucn now tor any good; then as for Mary, she's abetter scholar this very day than 1 am, and there's no more need o' her going to school than there is of II ec therel" and the good Deacon very complacently eyed agreat white and yel low dog lying behind the stove, and decided that it was all a humbug, that he had ,4set his foot down," etc. "But then it was kind of mean to say they shouldn't when Hannah had set her heart on it; 'taint often she crostei me; sh 's been a powerful good wife and mother, Hannah has," mused the Deacon, with a remorseful twinge. "Wonder what did possess her, though, to say what she did about Elizabeth?" and just then the Deacon's little devil, self-conceit, stepped in and spurted at such a rate about a man controlling his own hou-e, and a Deacon's knowing what was right and best for bis family of course, that he turned over in bed and closed his eyes nrmiy, and with a feeling of conscious su periority. ut course he knew what was ben! But he could not sleep; over and over again he determined not to think any more about it, but over and over again would the words recur to him: ''If you've never done an v thing to make others happy, I'm afraid there Jl not be much happiness for you when it comes to the last." He could not get rid of them, try as he would. cntiL in desperation, he determined to end them by seli-examination. He ransacked his memory, first carelessly, then eagerly, then anxiously and with t great wondering if it really could be. and if his children might not possibly be glad when he was dead; the thought was horrible, yet turn whichever way he would, it only grew more intensely certain, for irom among all the yean, the days, the hours gathered from the past ha

H was dead lying still mad pal and cold ; and yet he st- od watching hit family at any curious bystander might. - He thought - he could read their hearts, and to his surprise there was not to much sorrow as of contentment down deep beneath their mourning. His wife's face seemed to . grow brighter, as if a world of care had been removed from her life. j:"The children can have their own way now, poor things I1 ahe Was laying to herself, although her eyes were wet; they could never, do as they liked while their father was living!"

He thought it had beea i tea Tears since he died, and that he had long been forgotten by any of his family; his wife now looked rest ful, happy and contented; and his children all occupied placet of usefulness and honor in the world, and ,e dreamed tften.'tnd of ten that their inmost tsvmgkts were, We were never happy while father lived, and we would never have -been happy had he not died." He tried to speak, to tell them . he loved them, that he had., been with them: all these years, but that he could make bo sound; and they turned away; bat he mast call them, must speak to them; again and again he tried to do so, and twoke. Long the Deacon pondered over bis dreams, and in his heart he felt that they had not been of himself, bat b! God. "They're warnings. Nathan Heyworthr he decided at length aolaoanly, rarniags, sure's you live, and you 11 do well to abide by 'em." The toe was floatios away, and already the green moat and shining shell were glimmenng up zrom oeneatn. . , e, t , , ; s . .",,. It was breakfast time at Deacon Hayworth's, and the morning meal was being eaten, as usual, fn almost perfect silence. Again and again had the husband and father been on the point of speaking but bis lips only opened tc close again silently. No one knew of the previous night's - exEerience of the warnings he irmly believed e had received; he could remain forever dumb and no one would ever be the wier, but he had determined to right, if possible, the wrong of years, and yet it was not to easy as he had thought. .-.r t- , William!" he exclaimed at length suddenly, slowly breaking an egg into the glass beside him. . The boy looked up- reseetfally, - but wearily; he, too, had spent an almost sleepless night a night of tears tndi disappointment. "Well, father?" he said, questioning, for the Deacon had stopped to break another . When does the examination tt the Col lege begin ?'' All tbe blood in the boy's body seemed rushing into his face, suh . t strenge que tion ior xainer to as I. säe tried to quell his heart's sudden beating as he replied.

Hr eyes were as blue and glowing as the sky when the sun is in his glory, and her cheeks were as rosy as the sky when the sun smiles nnd sets behind a cloudless horizon. Thia magnificent girl had never been in love." fcuch is the glowing description of Miss Liucy bwivell, as furnished by the Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette. That journal further iniormsits readers that Miss Swivell has been teaching school on the river below the city; that she boarded at the house of Henry Mückle, a widower and the leading citizen ot the neighborhood, and that both George ana igon juucKie, sons or tbe old man, were nvais rcr her hand. LAst week both of the young men, who graduated together at a Northern college in June, proposed n.arriage to Miss Swivell. She told each to appear before her at noon on Monday. They obeyed. She . said she loved John and adored Georg, so they mut enter into some contest for tbe prize. Would they walk twenty miles in ten hours? The lover who could make the better time was to have her. Neither would win unless the specified ground should be covered in the specified time. The lane at the bouse was half mile long. The young men started. At the expiration of three hours Mr. Mückle appeared with the fair teacher on bis arm"Wait'a minute, my devoted sons," said the old man, "each of you have shown your affection for your step-mother." 'Step motberl" exclaimed George. Step-mother!" echoed John. Ye, step-mother; for while you were walking I married the girl , Have You Martfd the Ivj? The plant of all plants for the house t the ivy. ' If one has a piece, a bit only six inches long, with time and patience all the rest will follow. Tbi piece may be had of a fi lend, or any nurseryman or florist will send a small rooted plant or some cuttings by mail for a small sum. If the plant has roots, plant it in s pot in good soil. If it has not roots', do the same, and it will soon make roots, for it is one of the earliest of all things to grow from cuttings. Slow of growth at first, if given large pots as the roots require, it will in time run to be trained over the yindow frame, up the corner of the room, tnd tlong the cornices, over picture franes, and everywhere, and make a drapery so beautiful that no one will ever thins of tbe pattern of the wall paper. One of the finest displays of ivy we ever saw was in a very old Dutch house, one built in the earl? davs of New York State. The parlor had all the beams exposed, and these beams and the heavy window frames were all draped with a profusion of ivy. Anyone, with a very small outlay and time, can produce equally fine eifects. Ivy out of doors will beir quite a savere freezing, t A I A 1 1 1 It 1 .A.A. r- -V A out in we uouse, ii in a Biaie oi growm, it must not be alloyed to freeze. If the sou is kept moist, and ts remove the dust the fol iage is gone over occasionally with a damp sponge or cloth, s plant a foot high will be a thing of beauty, one twenty fret high or long will be a wonder of grare and cheer fulness. Quill Tens. ' An advertisement in a New York paper for , an experienced quill pen cutter called out an interview with the only quill pen imSirterand manufacturer in Hew York City, e said that several years ago there were several quill pen makers there and in other cities: Now one in Philadelphia and himself are all that he knows. Quill pens are used mainly by old lawyers and Judges, partly from custom, but chiefly because they are easy to write with. Most of the quills come from Russis. The Russian gojse has a hardier quill than our geese. An unclarified pen from ths wing of a Russian goose is the most durible." The German quills have the best plumage. A two-dozen box of good quills will last two or three months easily for t man who knows how to mend his own pens. The instrument used in pen making is the ordinary blade of tie Eenknife, inserted firmly into a wooden andle of peculitr shape, tapering to a point. A pen is made with two cuts or three. Tbe blunt end of the quill is first cut off, because it brnot tough. Then the point of the handle is inserted, and the quill is carefully split for a certain distance. Two slashing cuts then form the nib, and the pen is done. The plumage is neatly trimmed. Swan quills are sometimes used for pens, but ara very much more exoensive than the common goose quill. The demand is steady, such as it is, but is growing less year by year. There is a ycung woman in Leadville who talks all the tine, when she is asleep as well as when awak. and the local paper describes ber as a curiaaty. Women are scarce in Leadville, and tbe men there don't know much about ?leir characteristics. SOOBTY DIREOTOBY. United Brothers of Friendship.
