At 60, David Yopp was a simple, clild-lJke bachelor, with no more thought of matrimony than a new-born baby All his life he had lived with his parents upon the little homestead, and apparently it had never occurred to him
that they three might not continue to live there unsevered till the end of time ; ior wken palsy laid low his motker ke looked about him in grieved astonishment, telling each condoling friend that
ne eouioq't understand bow ske oame to die; ske had aever suffered any expos re, and had always had plenty of good nourishing food. At her decease the care of hie blind old father naturally devolved upon David, wko, having recovered from his first surprise that Providence should have used him so, tied on his mother's apron, and eeeayed to take her place in the domestic department. Ah! those were dreary days, chronicling culinary results never before attained, let us hope, by mortal man results that tried even the serenity of the sightless octogenarian, who had borne affliction and bereavement without a murmur. " Seems to mo, my son, I wouldn't worry about the cooking," ke at last suggested, mildly. That comes more handy to the women-folks." But let cooking come never so " handy" to the women-folks," what availed it to the " Tonnees" so long as the women-folks would not come to them, or would oowe only to go? Jane Burrill, an appletcheeked countiy lassie, kired eat to David of a Monday, and left of a Tuesday before the clothe) were dry upon the line; the Widow MulHken.her successor, departed at the end of a week; Margaret Hamsay wouldn't day where there were no children; and Ellen Dunkm wouldn't stay where there was no matron . Thus one by one a long procession of females passed In anl out of the hip-roofed house behind th lilacs, till August found the

Ok no, no; certainly not. I only spoke of it as the best means of securing permanent kelp." I don't know but I'd oughter marry," mused David, unoasily. " But the idee comes to me rather sudden. I hadn't o Undated on any thing like tkat, and seems 'a if 'twas too much to expect of me fact." A few days later he again appeared before mv mother, twitching at his coat
collar iu the vain endeavor to hide his embarrassment. " If so be, Miss Farnsworth," he stammered, with a characteristic corkscrew twist of the neck "if so be I couldn't get round marrying, what's your notion about Lovisa? According to the beet of your belief, would she be favorable to changing her sitovation?" He ended with his head quite on one side, and tipped backward like a chicken's in drinking, which forced my motker to address her reply to his occipital curls. She could hazard no opinion on the subject, she said. Sho would advise him to confer with the lady herself. "I hate to, masterly," groaned he with engaging candor; ,4but this I know if I ask any woman to have me, it'll be Lovisa." Oddly enough, our minister on the morrow preached an eloquent sermon ou the duty and the joy of matrimony. " It is not good for man to bo alone," ran tha text, and David, in thn nnrnnr

the fam-
eading. Father has his
paper, mother her tract; Mary her novel; Johnny hii story of wild adventure. Beading thoro is, enough of it; but each one reads for himself. There is no reading for the wholo, and no grouping of the family into an audience for an evening's enjoyment, such as comes to people who hear a good bit of writing well read. Only those who have visited in families where the gift of reading was cultivated as a soutce of family enjoyment, and the custom of reading aloud to the family practised, can imagine what a help and blessing to the family life such a habit is. Music is well enough in its way, but its range of expression is far narrower than that of reading, and for that matter far less nractical in its
adaptation to the family wants. Then, too, singing requires an instrumental
accompaniment and a piano costs
money and requires too much nractico
on the part of the performer to bo available for the many. The art of reading well is easily acquired and cheaply taught and the expressions of literature aro abundant and varied. If sorrow has fallen on the family, the needed antidote can be found both in prose and
housekeepers."

The Meen ef Tramps The Bangor (Me.) Commercial says : Mrs. Mary Mcrriman is a respectable appearing woman of iK), is not bad looking, and has every apjiearance of being upright and of good character. She is,
however, without doubt, tho queen of female tramjMt, and can discount tiie groat majority of male tramps. She is not a genuine tramp not of the regular kind who are a terror to the.countrv
and " work " cities and towns in a systematic manner, having their gates and door-posts, signs, etc., for of these she knows nothing, and with this class of people she does not associate, for they are no society to her, but sho likes the business. Ohe was ,born iu St. Albans, in this State, and her folks were farmers. She has since lived in Ilermon with her brother, Joseph Mcrriman, who does a good deal of trading in this city. Three years ago this fall she took it into her head to see the country, and started out with neither scrip nor staff, but a good pair of thick shoes. She walked across the country, braving all kinds of weather, and finally brought up in Clinton, Iowa, when she took the back track and returned to this city. Two years ago she decided to start out again, and this time selected a longer tour. She walked through portions of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and on to Washington, where she remained a few days and "did the capital," and then made a bolt for Savannah, Ga., where sho remained a short
time. Then on she went, again, doing the States of Kentucky Tennessee, Iowa, Indiana, and finally got round to Kansas City. Here she stopped awhile and earned a new tramping outfit. She started again, this time with tho intention of crossing the plains to California, but finally stopped when told by many persons that it would bo very unsafe for her to think of attempting it alone. She then started on a return trip, walking
irom ivansas utty to unicago, thence to Detroit, doing Niagara Falls, aad crossing to Canada, thonce to New York and through Massachusetts, arriving at her home in Hermon a little more than a week ago. She says alio averages L'C miles a day. She says when she gets tired and out of clothes sho finds no trouble in getting a few days' work, and in this manner enjoys her life.
