See there's the scar on bia dear little forehead yet he'll carry it all his life, they say but I shall never get over being thankful he came out of it to much better than I did, the darling." Aad Janet glanced at her poor, crooked am as she settled herself more comfortably for a long talk. This was the way it came about. 3Iother said to me one Saturday afternoon, 'Janet, I am going over to the village; I will take the little girl with me, and I want you to take good care of llarry till I come back. "This arrangement did not suit me at all. I had other plans for the afternoon, and I said, 'But mother, I promised Mary Hathaway I would go down there this afternoon. She ia going to show me a new stitch for my embroidery.' M I don't like to interfere with you, dear,' mother said, but it seems to me you have been running there quite often this week, and I must have your help now.' "This was true, but it made no difference in the fact of my wanting to go again. " Can't Bridget take care of him?' I said. 'No, she has to") much else to d.' I hate beinr tiud to babies all tho time,' I snarled. ! tLmk we might keep a nurse as -well as the llathaways. Jlary never has to be bothered with the young ones.' Mother looked at me with a look which begged for something better from me, but I kept the scowl on my face till I saw them drive from the gate. fche said good-by to mo with a lovinrr gmile. which faded out, as I would not return it. Even when I saw three hands waved to me as they turned the corner, sorao gjy thin? my heart kept rnv hand d own, ainouli hau a minute -later I would Lav given anything for a chance of answering mother s smile. "t carried baby out into the grove at the Vack of the house, and dumped him into the nammock, feeling cros3 and miserable 'enoueh. lie sat there cooing and crowing and laughing in a way which would have put a better temper into any one but me. I sat on the ground beside him, fussing away at my embroidery, but I could net get it right, and I got crosser and crewser. At last llarry stretched over toward me, and took rather a rough grasp of one of my ears and a good handful of hair with . it. He did it to pull my face around for a kiss, but as his pretty iace came against mine with a bump, I jumped up and spoke sharply to him. I laid him down with a shake, saying, 'Go to sleep now, you little tease.' "lie put up a grieved lip, and sobbed as I swung tim. It was about the time of his afternoon nap, and he wa3 asleep in a few minutes. "Then I tried my embroidery again, but it was no use I could not get the right stitch without some help from Mary. Then a thought came (.cross my mind why could I not just run down there? Baby would surely sleep for an hour; and I could easily be back within that time. lie could not possibly fall out of the hammock, for there were strings tied to some of the cords, whi;h could be fastened above him. I thought of telling Bridget I was going, so she would have 'an eye out' in case he should awake, but I knew she would be crabbed about it, and feel as if I was imposing on her, even it he did not give a single 'peep.' sy I tied bim in very carefully; he gave another utile toll as X kissed him, and 1 was so sorry I had been cross to him. In ten minutes more I was running in at Mr3. Hathaway's gate. I had been going toward the North, so I did not notice that a black, curiously shaped cloud, which lay low in the South mI left home, was rising very fast. Mrs. uikuanaj kor. iiiu jJlul jt niu vut in ail arbor back of the house, so I ran out there. M afh.tfaif . r L . ..ia M a mal v,t t vi am and for a little while we were so deep in the embroidery that 1 forgot to notice how dark it was getting. Then there came a flash of lightning oa, how white and terrible that lightning was! It came all about us; we seemed wrappod up in it; and such a burst of thunder as I never heard be.'ore or since. It soundel like a cannon-ball falling right at our feet." ' "As soon as we could move we flew into the hou.ee. I waa wild with fright as I f aw the awful blackness in the skv. Great drop of rain txgan to fall, and peal after peal of thunder came, h I snatched my bonnet and rushed to the door. Mary seized my arm and held me lck. She cried, 'You must not go; indeed, yuj shall not go out in such a storm.' "ilrt. IX.tthaway came up to me, too, and she put he arm around me. 'Why, Janet, you can not go, my child. It might beat the risk of your life.' . "I think they almost meant to keep me by force, but I screamed out, 'I must gol I willl I will!' and I broke away from them and rushed out into the blinding storm. I couldn't think of anything except the poor baby I had left all alone. There was no one there to take care ot him, no one knew where he was, and in the noise of the storm nobody could hear him scream. "The rain poured down in sheets by the time I reached Mrs. Qathaway's gate. It seemed almost to beat me down to the round, and the water was over my shoes la

half a minute. The lightning seemed like one long flash, and the thunder never stopped. 1 stagerei on and floundered on, and slipped down and g: t up again, all the time jubt saying to myself, 'The baby! the baby! if 1 could only reach him and find him alive!' "Then it seemed as if night came down

all at once. It got dark ia one minute, and I heard a horrible roaring sound behind me louder than all the thunder. I heard a lontr, rattling crash, and then another. It was Mrs. Hathaway! house and barn going to pieces, but 1 didn't know it then. I heard people croam; I heard all sorts of things whizzing about mc, but it was too dark to see much. Thiags came striking against me, and soon a .heavy thing came banging againbt me on one side, and just as 1 whs tailing down something seemed to pick me up, and 1 was whirled and twisted round and round till I didn't know anything more. "When I opened my eyes the rain was falling on my face. It was lighter, and I saw boards and timber., and trees and branches and bushes lying all about me. I was in a field not far from home. (I felt dizzy, and didn't remember anything at first, and then I thought of little Harry, and sprang ud to run to him. But, ob, how sick and sore I felt! "When I tried to lift a heavy branch which was lying partly over me, I could raise only one ot my arms. "But my feet were all right, and I ran as fast as I could toward Lome. I saw my father in the road in front of tho house, looking up and down, with a white, fright ened face. He hurried toward me. " 'Where have you been, child?' he said. 'I must go to see if. anything has happened to your mother, but I could not .111 T T . . . n J IT..PI? Tft,A B Q go IUI X Know you RUU iimijr nuo wir ' Vnv. dear, you are hurt!' "But I ran past him, crying, The baby, father, he's in the hammock come quick!' ' " v hen we srot round to the grove screamed at what I saw. The trees lay about as if a scythe had mown them down. I hardly knew the place, or where to look for Harry. "One of the trees the hammock was tied to was lying exactly where I had left my little brother. Another tree was blown rizht across it. Father did not stop to look, but called the hired man, and they brought axes and saws. I stooped do wn and ast med though I felt sure the dear little one mustbe dead. Xiul l heard a saa nine sod, as n ne had cried till he was worn out. 1 was so slad I cot ud and danced. But father shook his head and said, 'He's alive, but how do we know how he majbe hurt? They chopped away at the branches, while I held my breath. Oh, how long, long it seemed to wait! I crouched down and crept as near the baby as I could. I called to him, and he gave a pitiful little cry; he expected me to take him at once, and I was glad he eot angry because he had to wait, lie tried to free himself from the hammock, and I began to hope he micht not be much hurt. "At last a great branch was taken away, and I got closer to him. I called father, and we looked under, and I heard him say Thank God!' "There tho darling was, in a kind of little bower made by two big branches which came down on each side of him. They had saved him when the other tree fell. His forehead was scratched deeply, but nothing else ailed bim. Father reached in and cut away the hammock with his knife, and drew him out with bands that shook as if he had an atrue fit. The little fellow held out his arms to me, but as I tried to take him my strength all seemed to go away. 1 grew dizzy, and fell down. Bridget took the child, and father carried me in and laid me on a ocd. 'Then he and Bridget tried to get us into dry clothes. But I cried out every timn they touched me, till father was nearly at his wit's end. 1 called aloud for mother. 1 knew she would not hurt me so. "'I will go now and see whero she is dear,' father said at last, wiping his forehead. 'The good J.ori only luiwws where she may bo and the little ones 1 I'll bring some one to help you, poor child. "Tne sun was shining brightly again by this time, but as I lay there, with a great deal of pain in my arm and head, I seemed to feel that black storming after me yet. The roar, roar kept in my head, and the bed was whirling up in the clouds with me, and Mary Hathaway was holding me, while some owi pelted- r&ejalh stars; and mother )ai J, Vo, my pocr ia(ing look at her hear2' The.- .tecs moon "jW.ped ut at me and said, . Vier arm i broken in iwo places. -'"It was the doctor who said this, and mother had really com3 to me. After that I seemed to be clinging and climbing through trees oh.solongl I kept on for years, always hunting for little llarry, hearing him cry for me, and never able to roach him. But at la?t I saw a light I had been m the dark all the time and I struggled toward it and looked out. Mother was there, but not Harry. 'Where is he?' I cried. "Who, dear?' she said. "Why, the baby little Harry, I said. I was almost up to him. "Here hois.'. She lifted him up to me, and I tried to take him, but I could not raise myself, and was glad to find that 1 was in my own bed. I went öS into a long sleep, and when I awoke I didn't want anything except to lie quiet and know mother was caring for me, and that Harry sometimes came toddling into my room, for he had learned to walk during the long weeks I had been sick. "Well, that ia about all there is of it. My arm wa3 a long timo getting well, and will always bo crooked, like this. Tho doctor said it would have got entirely well if it had not been for the fever. But, dear mo, how much thinking I did when rny head got clear enough to think! When I was out in the stcrm all I had ever heard about the wrath of God on the children of disobedience eeemed to come back tome. How I was punished! It I had been faithful to my duty I should have been safe at home when the storm came. I shall always feel a3 if I knew something of that awful wrath, for wasn't I taken up in God's terrible hand? "When I was getting well I began to wonder why Mary Hathaway never came to see me. Mother put off telling ms a3 long as she could that she and a youugcr ister had been killed in a moment by the falling of their house, and that Mrs. Hathaway was crippled for life. None- ot us bad been hurt but me. Mother had got beyor.d the track of the worst part of the storm, but her horse was killed by tho lightnnr. Father lost his barn9, most of his stock, and nearly all hi crops. That's the story of the terrible tornado. Itii path wai Lot more than half a mile wide, und it was all over in less than half an hour. Mother says Igrcwflye years older on that day, and I think she is right.' Going to be a Pirate By Jimmy Browa. I don't know if you are acquainted with Johnny McGinnis. Everybody knows his father, for he's been in Congress, though he is a poor man, and sells hay and potatoes, and I heard father say that Mr. McGinnis is the most remarkable man in the country. Well, Johnny is Mr. 3IcGinnis's boy, and and he's about my age, and thinks he's tremendously smart; and I used to think so too, but now I don't think quite so much of him.

Ha and I went away to be riraUs the other

day, and I found out that he wid never do for a pirate. You see, wa naa noin goi into uj faculties. It wasn't my fault, I am sure, but it's such a painful subject that I won't describe it. I will merely say wai auer u. was an over, i went to see Johnny to tell him that it was no uo to put shingles under your coat, for how is that going to do your legs any good, and I tried it because Johnny advised me to. I found that he hd just had a painful scene with his father on account of apples; and I niu.'l eav it served him right, for he had no business to touch them without permission. Sj I said, "Look here, Johnny, what's the use of our staying at home and being laid onto with switches ana our Desi actions misunderstood and our noblest and holiest emotions teld up to ridicule?" That's hat I heard a vounir man say to Sue one day, but it was so beautitul that I said it to Johnny myself. "Oh. zo'wav.w said Johnny. That's what I say," said I. "Let's go awav and be pirates. 1 here's a brook that runs through Deacon Sammis's woods, and it stands to reason that it must run into the Spanish Main, where all the pirates are. Let's run away, and chop down a tree, and make a canoe, and sail down the brook till we get to the Span'uh Main, and then we can capture a schooner, and be regular pirates." "Hurrah!" says Johnny. "We'll doit Let's run away to-night. I'll take father's hatchet, and the carving-knife, and some provisions, and meet you back of our bam at ten o'clock." "I'll be there," said I. 'Only, if we're going to be pirates, let's be strictly honest. Don't take anything belonging to your father. I've got a hatchet, and a saver knife with my name on it, and I'll save my supper and take it with me." So that night I watched my chance, and dropped my supper into my handkerchief, and etutled it into mv pocket. hen ten o'clock came, I tied up my clothes in a Dun die, and took my hatchet and the silver knife and some matches, and slipped out the back door, and met Johnny. He had nothing with him but his supper and a back earn mon board and a bag of marbles. We went straight for the woods, and after we'd selectel a big tree to cut down, we ate our supper. Just then the moon went under a cloud, and it grew awfully dark. "NN e couldn tßee very well how to chop the tree, and after Johnny had cut his fingers, we put off cutting down the tree till morning, and resolved to build a fire. We got a lot of fire-wood, but I dropped the matches, and when we found them again they were so damp that they wouldn't light. . All at onca the wind began to blow, and make a dreadful moaning In the woods. Johnny said it was bears, and that though he wanted to bo a pirate, he hadn't calculated on having any bears. Then he said it was cold, and'so it was, but I told him that it would be warm enough when we got to the Spanish Main, and that pirates ought not to mind a little cold. Pretty soon it began to rain, and then Johnny began to cry. It just poured down, and the way our teeth chattered was terrible. By-and-by Johnny jumped up, and said he wasn't going to be eaten up by bears and get an awful cold, and he started on a run lor home. Of course I wasn't going to be a pirate all alone, for there wouldn't be any fun in that, so I started after him. He must have been dreadfully frightened, for he ran as fast as he could, and as I was in a hurry, I tried to catch up with him. If he hadn't tripped over a root, and I hadn't tripped over him,' I don't believe I could have caught him. "When I fell on him, you ought to have heard him yell. He thought I was a bear, but any sensible pirate would have known I wasn't. Johnny left me at his front gate and said he had made up his mind he wouldn't bo a pirate, and that it would be a great deal more fan to be a plumber, and melt lead. I went home, and as the house was locked "(V I had to rinjj the front-door bell. Father came to the door himself, and when he saw me, he said, "Jimm)', what in the world does this mean?" So I told him that Johnny and mo had started for the Spanish Main to bo pirates, but Johnny had changed his mind up in Deacon Sammis's woods, and that I thought I'd change mine to. Father had me put to bed, and hot bottles and things put in the bed with me, and before 1 went to sleep, he came and said: Good-night, Jimmy. We'll try and have more fun at home, so that there won't be any necessity of your being a pirate.' And I said, '-Dear father, I'd a good deal rather stay with you, and I'll never be a pirate without your permission." This is why I say that Johnny McGinnis will never make a good pirate. He's too much afraid of getting wet. WAIFS. There was a small boy, named Apollo, Who used to get spunky and 'hollo!"

At the end of the piece one of the members left the eroun. approached the leader of the band and pulled out a little paper box which he emptied into his left hand, while the eyes of the leader followed every movement. Then lie took a plate in his right hand and passed it around. There was a large collection, but everyone wonderel what he held in his left hand. "Why, it's very simple," said the chief when questioned, "we are all subject to temptation,. but to be sure of the fidelity of our collector wt oblice him to hold five Hies in his left hand, and we count these first when he return?, so as to make sure of the money."

Ambitious Women. It has been said that women have no busi ness with ambition. Why, even a house maid is worthless unless she is ambitious; and a woman is no housekeeper who is not possessed of a strong desire to excel in this useful ait. Of course, thera are false ambitions, as there uro false things everywhere in life; but no person will ever truly merit life who is not possessed of a certain degree of the right sort of amotion. It is said of Mrs. Burnett, who is just now perhap?,the most popular female writer in America, that she keeps house quite as charmingly as she writes books; and I have no doubt, had she been content with being merely a good housekeeper having no ambition to make the very best use of her obvious talents she must to-day have satisfied herself with that fate, instead of being the author of some of the most delightful and readable of books. The same things are said of Louisa Alcott; and while rejoicing in her housewifely perfections, where is the person who can for a moment wish she had been satisfied with that alone, and thus left the world without "L ttle W m n." and The Old Fashioned Girl." ancxany other books that we love to read? Tuere is the inimitable Gail Hamilton; we arej told she can bake and brew, etc.. and is an excellent housekeeper. We know she is an excellent authoress. Hence we see there are many illuitrious women who have attained higher standards of excellence, and who have not gone out of that "sphere ' which men so delight to talk of. I believe the woman who is not ambitious to excel in something besides leading the fashions in the most inane and stupid cf her sex, and she, with all around her, must tire of her very existence. Mary Dumiam. Speech of Lncy Stone. During the recent Boston meeting, Miss Lucy Stone being called upon to address a gathering, rather suddenly said: " I did not expect to speak to-night. The absence of Senator-Hoar (which none of you can regret so much as I do), leaves a little space, which I will use to express a measure ot dissent irom those who blame women, and charge that their own indifference is the cause of their disfranchisement. Nobody doubts that there is a great deal of .ndiffernce, both among men and women, due to the education of all the aees, which incul cates the inferiority and subjugation ot women. Instead of blame, I feel infinite pity for women. One might as well blame men who lie in the bottom of mines, stupified by coal gas. Think for a moment what women have been taught since the world was made. Think what they are taught to-day. In China they are told they have no souls. The Hindoo wife is not fit to eat with her hus band. The Je w thanks God he has not made him a woman. Among the majority of socalled Christian sects, no woman can be or dained to the ministry. "I shall never forget my stinging sense of resentment when, as a young Church mem ber, I raised my hand to vote, all ignorant mat it was not lawful, and tho clergyman said, pointing tome, 'Don't you count her votel' and in answer to the inquiry, said, 'Yes, she is a member, but not a voting member.' llow tho hot blood mounted to my cheeks 1 I was valuable as a member to raise money for his salary, or to cushion his pulpit. But to vote on appropriations, or any other question I was not fit. Six votes were taken that afternoon. Six times I held up my hand, and six times it was not counted. All the same I expressed my opinion. Thanks to the blood of Revolutionary ancestors, I could resist and resent. But the woman upon whom lessons of submission have been inculcated with their mother's milk, are overlwrne by this dominating spirit False interpretations of Scripture texts, laws- which in all countries, in all ages, have held women to bo unequal, absence of equal education, poverty of resources, these are among the causes that have blinded and stupefied and bewildered women. I pity them. "Under the old Roman law at one time, when it was desirable to increase the population, a married man who had one child, had certain rights of inheritance. But a married woman to secure the same rights, must have three children, and twins could only count as one child. - This fact illustrates the inequality under which women have always lived, and do still live. I have seen a man sit in the. cool, breezy front room of a restaurant in the White Mountains, and take the money for the food which his wife cooked over a hot stove in the back kitchen with little children hanging to her skirts. He thought he supportel her, and she thought she was supported. The law gave her no penny of what she earned, and her husband gave her none. Hampered by her little children, harnessed to ceaseless toil, is she to blame, because she does not contend for the ballot? "I said to the man when I paid him, Tou

ought to give jour wife half you receive, to

pend as she likes. 'Humph! She would spend it all u 1 did "And what do you do with the money? Don't you spend it? What else is money lor you but to spend?' I answered. "1 he man looked daggers atme. But 1 went off with one satisfaction, at least I had put a Ada in his ear. You may find the same toiling, unpaid woman in the Kocky Mountains, and all the way between, and all round the world. How can you say it is their own fault that they are not en franchised! Custom and law and prejudice. lack ot education, lack of money, the little children in their arms, hold them with a grip which other hands than theirs must loosen. "There are other fetters for the women of societv. but thflv are tetters all the samp. They bind and blind intellect and conscience . , , and the soul itself. "Jo fixed it certain that whaterer day Make inan a slave takes half hit worth away." Women of sobriety, and women in the rank of the toiler, all sutler a kind of asphyxia, like men in miaes stupefied by gas. Oh, men! to whom has been given larger opportunities, better law, and a wider cutlook, do not throw blame on these women, but put yourjjroader thoulders and stronger bands to break open apertures to let in light and air. This is what they need; your hands should prove help. It is you wh0 should cry in the ears of the women of you house, that on one ballot may depend th booming of cannon and the rush of armies; that their sons may be taken out to be shot, and then the bloody bills will be sent to them to pay. It is you who should make them know the helplessness and loss of disfranchisement. You should show them also the dignity and the power of the ballot. Shake them rudely, if need be, but rouse them out of that stupefied condition, which makes them not care for the rights of citizenship. It is to the discredit of every man whose wife does not want to vote. Why has he net so championed her cause, that her disfranchisement shall seem as deplorable to her as his own disfranchisement would to him? Moreover he should see that he is a sinner, so long as ho does not restore to me my ballot, whether his wife or any other woman wants hers or not I know my right to it, and I want it, and they are sin ners who aid and abet the keeping it back "Oh, men I you whom no price would tempt to part with your ballot, pray help us to win ours. Help to rouse women from the stupor which dulls the sense of loss and degradation and helplessness which the ab sence of political rights involves. Young men should consecrate their youth, and old men their wisdom, to the solution and set tlement of this broadest grandest, gravest question of all the ages. Remember teat justice is always safe. "And now we will adjourn till next year, when we may perhaps rejoice in a greater measure of success in our work." Pleasantries Concerning Women. "We have heard considerable about the habit girls have of sitting on one leg. It's a very bad one, particularly if the leg doesnt belong to the young lady. Hartford Sun day Journal. Confidence is truly the most beautiful of human attributes; yet we never knew a wo man to read the notice of the birth of a young couple's first child without pausing to ask the date of their marriage. Business-like mamma, to fashionable west end hosier: "Now, what would be your charge for exhibiting a couple of my daugh ter s photographs, with her name in full, in your window for a couple of months or so?" Funeh. Morse, who invented the telegraph, and Bell, the inventor of the telephone, both had deaf-mute wives. "Little comment is necessary," remarks the Lowell Citizen, "but just see what men can accomplish when everything is quiet." Mrs. Elizabeth A. Kingsbury, oi Portageville, N. J , has this brilliant idea: She wants maiden ladies, after they are thirty, to drop the Miss and call themselves Mrs., and she wants girls to agree not to marry until they are twenty-five. The suggestion süould be voted upon ty Sorosis. Instead of saying that there is an excess of 30,000 women in Massachusetts, we shall be able to reason more clearly if we simply say that there are 80,000 unmarried women in that interesting State. If the facts are stated in this way, we at once see that, instead of troubling ourselves about overproduction, we should merely ask, "Why are these women unmarried? Tho answer is not difficult to find. These women are unmarried because they are of a pattern which has of late years gone out of fashion. About the same time that the gray trousers of England drove out the black broadcloth trousers, which, in connection with the black satin waistcoat and black dresscoat, formerly constituted the walking costume of the American citizen, then was introuced the plump English style of girL The latter soon became enormously popular, and the bony and spectacled maidens of Massachusetts became a drug in the market. It was still generally conceded that the Massachusetts girl knew more about Emerson's philosophy and Alcott's Orphic utterances than did her plumper rival; but the merits of the former were no longer able to awaken any enthusiasm. The Boston poetical young man no longer wrote sonnets expressing the emotions of the heart on hearing the bones of his beloved rattle as she ran to greet him at the gate, and the Boston youth.of fashion no longer proposed at public dinners the once familiar toast, "Beauty and Bones," in honor of the spare sex. In fact, spare and angular girls went entirely out of fashion, and Massachusetts men went outside of the boundaries of Mew England when they sought for wives. FroQt In Black Walnata. Chicago Tribune.1 San Antonio. June 3. The smartest Texan, and, in fact, the smartest farmer, I have ever met, is old bim Graves, who lives on a 1,000 acre farm west of Waxahatchie, in Central Texas. After Mr. Graves had shown me his cattle and cotton, he took me over to see his woods. "Well, what of it?" I said, as he rointed to a ten-acre forest. " 'What of it?' Whv, them's black wal nuts, sir. Ten acres of 'em. Planted 'em myself ten years ago. See, they're nine inches through. Good trees, eh?" And sure enoueh there were ten arrpa of hand-planted black walnut trees. Thev stood about twelve feet apart, 200 to the acre in all 2,000 trees. "Well, how did you get yonr money back?" I asked. "Black walnuts are worth $2 50 a bushel. ain't they? I'll get 400 bushels this year. That's $1,000. A hundred dollars an acre is good rent for land worth $15 an acre, ain't it?" "Well, what else?" I inauired. crrowine1 interested. "The trees," continued Mr. Graves, "are growing an inch a year. When they are twenty years old they will be nineteen inches through. A black walnnt tree nineteen inches through is worth $25. My 2,000 trees ten years from now will be "worth $00,000. If I don't want to cut them all, I can cut half of them, and then raise a bushel of walnuts to the tree -that is get $2,500 a year for the crop. Two hundred and fifty dollars nn acres is a fair rent for $15 land. ais'titf"
