Mrs. Pomeroy's PinMoney.

|1Y KM. II. W. HOOTT.

Nellie Winthrop w** one of those for tuuate individual* whom J«*1 endows with active brain, hen It by iRxly, sad tbat peculiar trait, wuiob is bent characterised as 'spirit.' I say fortunate, becauaesbe WHS left, when itierecbild, to tbecbsrlij of tb« world, which, as ©very one kuowa. soiiiowbat resembles that of certain IndUn tribt-s—letting the weakly children die off lest ibey become trooDlesoinn. But the world Donors spirit, and when it saw that ibe little maiden was determined to beat down all opposition wiib berown tiny Aata, it straightway smiled upon her so Nellie founti work h«*r« and there, and friends to counsel her, until she accu insisted a liule mouey. Then she went to school, and in course of time became oompetent to teach iu the common mbools: and proud enough sbe felt when sbe found herself sole mistress of a dozen back-wood urt-hins. Thus, teaching and studying alternately, she found herself one of the moat acceptable lady teachers of ter native state. Districts tbat tnonrned over peculiarly intractable pupils were hers to subjugate and many a willful dunce did she Tesd with tiriu, but gentle hand, up the bill ofscienco.

And bow sbe loved ber work and how sbe rejoiced In bpr freedom, and her well earned independence and how ber black eyes would sparkle as she afllrmed that she woula always be 'her own mistress.'

Bat alas! she went to tbo rural village of

Colo

brook to teach during the

fttil and winter, and there sbe. met Chester Pomeroy, a line youna farmer, who lived a tulle from town, lie loved ber from the momout ho saw her winsome fkee looking up firwm Ksqaire Oilman's pew In church and she confessed to horsolf, as ho stood up so straight in the gallery, leading th* choir, and swelling out grandly on the tenor, that be was 'well enongli.' which wasconsiderable for Nellie Wiuthrop to admit of itny young man.

Ksqulro Oilman's wife was Cheater's nunt, and with ber consent and womaniy aasistanoo, a match was made and before spring, Nellie yiehlod her boasted Independence. There were some who said it was shame for ber to marry a farmer: a college professor would »ot b# half tfood enough. But the trouble was Nellie loved tbo farmer better than any professor so, when her school finished, she sat down to Mrs. Oilman's sewing machine, and iwookly stitched away at her outUt.

Mrs. Oilman made an old-faabioned nutitlng, too, so that cuoh enthusiastic lady friend could 'set a stitch' for Nel lie and her parlor* were tilled with those who bad learned to love the energetic yonng teacher.

Ah, Nellie,' said Miss Kunice Perkins, who was Just a little |Hst thirty You'll have to givo up your indepen dent ways when you are married. How do you think you'll relish going ia your husband for all you haver koVlng up keenly as sbe threaded her UMi) |o«

Nellie tossed her bead In a very an subdued style as she answered 'I'd like to see the man that could make a leggar oat of me, Ml*s Perkins. I expect to beJp to do the work, and then sharo in the pro flu. I would liko to know what right a man bas to call everything hU? Hut then, I do not anticipate any difficulty,' aud a quick blush roaa to Nellie's cheek as she thought,

Cheat or Is too generous to be like other men—bless him.' Miss Perkins airbed ber eyebrows, And Mrs. Smith snd Mrs. Meddletou exchanged glsnces, which said asplslnly as words eould have done: 'Poor child! you don't know anything about it." We thought Just so once.'

Time ps*sw on and Xtllle Wlnthrop Itecaiue Mr«, Pomeroy, and took her place among the matrons of the land. Her husband had been able to pay but lUtle tow*rd bis farm, which be bad purchased of wealthy and miserly old Mr. Ooldtbwait. So to lessen his bordtn, Nellie spent alt her precious evening* tn famishing* for the wty farmhouse, of which she was installed mlstim

The manifold duties ©f housekeeping were new to her,hot she assumed tbtoi with the same courage and enei^y that had cbsravterlaad her wbola life, ami snon fonnncml even tb» Biyit»rw of butter-maitlng and nou It ry raisin g. She blistered ber bands almost daily, and grew as brown as agrpsy In making excursions over tbe fsrm to assist Aad eooourage Chester's namarous eotsrprtMM. Hut she was happy and «h*trfat over her unaoctntomad lal«w», fjp wasn't every thing to bfonnoy nod by

Thus brigbUy the summer months tvM»ed, and the early autumn. The butter wss sold, and Cheater announced, with pardonable pride, »bat It brought the vary hlgheat price. The apple* want next, and then the plump chicken* that Nellie had no ***ldno**lv watched then the wheat and oats, and everything that oould weil he spared, wwi swell the Income.

Chewier was Jobtlant over tbe result, I tell you. Nellie,' said he, 'Us worth everything to have a good wife. We h4TeJbee7*o«Kl«ftilly prospw^l. Mr. tioldthwait want* ta gs* the term back into his hands, bot ha eant dolt, tor tbe payment to «•ady tor htm,

Hot a cent had she in lh« well-fttted porM «nd as ska ruefully surreyed |«r boot*, ah* fully reslfasd that eveo the strong Ms, supposed to ttW heleather, moat jjyr'Ol W tfelbnistepa of time. »be w*a

But no, her husband would not listen tbat be ibU K»t without her coiutxtny, and her alto ID tbo choir. Ho without teHing bfm of the cause of tbe proposition, aha rotriuimed her old bat, )iirnl«d h-r second-bt-st kids, and latched bar boot, with the aid of an wt to piece the sole. Not being a coboler by profeaaion, her fingers received *ome wounds which made ber feel aluiuat exaaperafced and aba condnded hat If men were not aa blind as bsta by nature, Cheater wonld aee that abe ne«*ded some new onea. He, Innoeent heart, thought she looked uncommonly well, as aba appeared on Sunday morning arrayed in ber 'old tbinga,' »ud, although abe took palna to put the worst foot forward as abe tbe carriage, Chester anly thought 'What a pretty little foot my wife has got.'

His new broadcloth suit was war rantrd to last a year at leaat, and what abould be know of a woman's wants 7

Monday morning, Nellie scrubbed ont ber clotbea with more than usual celerity for torturing thoughts make one's hand move quickly and the day before, while in Sabbath school, ahe had been horrified to see that her impromptu cobbling waa proving treacherous, and her boot gaping in derision. 'I wonder If Cheater expects my clotbea will laat forever,' sbe said to herself. 'Maybe be expects I'll ask blui for money, but I cannot! Ob dear I can not! Haven't I earned anything, I'd like to know And Isn't ft right for him to give me part of the gainf I gueas I could take care of myself better than be doea It,' and if a few tears ran down her cheeks, think it not strange, ob, ye lovers of independence!

That nlgbt, on bla return from tbe village Chester tossed a bundle into ber lap, saying: 'I've got tbe splendid cloth there for aveat, Nellie I have always bought my clothing readymade, but I knew you could make it eo nicely—and It will save me two dollars.

Nellie told him abe would try to do it, and then, aa if tbe thought had Just occurred to ber, abe added: 'By tbe way, Chester, I tbink I must have some new boots sometime tbis week

Well, I'd go to Stearns' and get some thon, if I were you. He's Just got bis new goods,' and Cheater unfolded bis newspaper and began to read. Poor Nellie bit ber lip, and wondered ifotbar huabands were aa slow to take a bint as hers waa proving himself to be. Sbe said not another word, however, and tbe next afternoon, got ready for her shopping expedition—abe oould fortunately wear rubbers—and waited for ber liege lord to provide ber with the neoeasary funds.

But be sst writing at bla desk, oblivious of all domestic-cares, and at length ahe said, with an assumed nonchalance,

Can you let me have some money Chester?' Oh! yea, you haven't any,have you?' and be drew out bis wallet and began to count tbe bllla therein. 'There'a five—tbat must goto Mr. Jackson for tbe use of his team and three—my minister's tax exactly and ten—that goea for a new sleigh robe: and two—you can have that, I guess,' separating it irom the reat 'will that do

Nellie's face grew white and then red, and her heart beat so that she could hardly answer 'I will try to make it.'

Chester looked up, thinking her voice did not sound Just natural but she bad tnrned toward the window.

There Is some change you can have too,' said he, adding several picccs of scrip to the bill. She took the money, thrust It into ber purse, and walked rapidly away but ber thoughta ran aomewhat after ,tbia fashion 'And ao my claim la last and least in bla eatimation. I suppose tbat is tbe reason tbat so many women grow so sort of antiquated they hate to beg.' Her husband's earn would have tingled could be have known these reflections, but aa it waa, he only looked after her thought what a fortunate fellow he wna to get such a wife.

After purchasing an inferior pair of boots, Mrs. Nellie found tbat ahe had thirty cents remslning, which was speedily invested In pins, needles and thread,and sbe roturned bomo resolved 'to labor and to wait' a little while longer.

A few days after tkis, aa sbe was bending over the table trying to cut Chester's vest, Mlsa Euniee Perkins called, and after a few minutes duaultory chat, tbe worthy apinster drew from her pocket a paper which sbe handed to Nellie, saying aa she did so: 'We are trying to get money to purchase a silk dress for a ChrlMmaa present to our pastor's wife. As tbe gentlemen are trying to do something for tbe pastor, we ladies intend to get ber a dress among ourselves. Some one reminded me to come to you yon used to be ao liberal In vonr aubscrlptlon*.1

Seine trt»«* to read tbe well-known name* alr* »./ on the paper, but a film seemed to wot before her eyee^and abe felt the blood rushing to her cheeks. She tried to suille, however,aa ahe said:

I really haven't any money by me today, Mia* Perkins, and I can't tell you --f think you need not rely on toe for anything.'*

Mlsa Perkins gave a little feminine shriek. 'There• there! now confess, Mrs* Pomeroy Isn't lust as I told you? Can vou married lad lea have half the Independence that we single ones hare?' snd abe tried to look very know ing.

Have ever said hot that I have enough everything?' aaked Nellie, with a lltlle of thai dignity tbat used to nubdue troubleeome ooya.

Kb, no, of coarse not. Every body say* vtnnre got aa excellent husband, and 1 don't wean anything. Yon

know It la my way to joke a little occasionally, and yon tnmsmber our little talk about pin-money'and with continued proteMtationa, Mlaa Perkins slid tbe paper Into her pocket main, sod took ber departnre. Then Nellie put berboad down on the table aad had a good cry.

When Chriairoaa came, she thought of the pretty dr*adag-fOWn ahe had made tor Chester the yenr before, when they wers only engagedand ahe wished ahe eontl to much again hot what would a ptnisl he worth, edfrooa hia own pocket aald aha to herself. to her was a logins* machine. Thm year befere, to was book of poems but then, the machine vastly more usefaU and given with

aa undiminished sOwtiop she knew, only It waa so practical. Nellie did ne* aak for any more money daring the winter, although once ah* made a purchase while Cheater leaned over ih* counter to ofier well-meant

Wouldn't take it, would you aaid tbe old man. 'I'd give you—well, I'd give you fifty dollars, xou'd boa: home, of oourae?'

I will let you know my decision tomorrow morning, Mr. Stanley but plsts6 don't montlon that I thick of teaching.'

Tbat night Cheater waa informed or ber

apleudid plan.' You see the school-bouse is so nesr us, and a nice long tlu»e before and af ter session to do my work and I am ao atrong. Please say yea, Chester,' sbe pleaded, and so he at last consented, and tbe school was engaged.

With unfaltering courage, and a feeling of her old independence, Nellie commenced her work busy from morning until night, and happier than ever, until the end of the fourth week, Chester fell from the beams of the barn and broke bla log. Then she wanted to give it up but, after a few days' Interruption, be insisted on her reauming it. Then, poor fellow he had nothing to do but to lie on tbe parlor sofa and watcb the road to tbe scheol-honsedoor, and the hands of the clock creeping around at a anail's pace, measuring ofl the hour for her to return. Yea,he bad hia farm to worry about also and the •b*lp,' and Mr. Goldtbwait'a next payment. He knew tbat everything was beln* neglected, and oh, bow he longed for the use of his helpless limb once more! But one day, as he was trying to plan and calculate for the next pay ment, be happened to think of Neliie'i fifty dollars and then hia mind was at rest, for he felt sure it would be sufficient to make up all deficiencies. The school was finished at last, and Mr. Stanley promptly gave Nellie the promised wages, saying, as he did so, tbat she bad earned double tbe eunv, which was sweet music in ber ears. Tears of gratitude filled her eyea, and as abe hastened home, she felt at leaat an inch taller than usual.

Chester began to hobble about on crutchea during tbe harvest season,only to find, as he bad feared, tbat the farm bad bt en neglected, and was not going to mebt hia expectations of the spring. He could not complain of Nellie a work, however, for ahe had not let Ibe dairy sufier so tbat from tbat, and the other sources, be could nearly meet tbe five hundred dollar payment. 'Nellie's money would Just make it out, I think,' he said to himself but although be hin'od again and again at tbe lack, and ii ability to meet it, sbe was Strang 'y slow to understand, and would innocently inquire,

One day a peremptory note from Mr. Goldtbwalt, saying tbat the payment was due, and roust be made before night, brought matters to a crisis.

Nellie saw tbe messenger thai brought the unwelcome note, and aaw her husband aa be leaned agalnat tbe garden fence to read it, and pitlled him so much that sbo wanted to rush out with her offering at once but he turned toward the house, and she sat down luietly to her sowing, not looking up even when sbo board his crutch coming thump, thump, thump, across the floor.

Nellie, It's just aa I feared. Hear this and then ho read tbe missive with its cruel threat, tbat unless tbe money was brought that nigbt, Mr. Goldtbwalt would take the place.

Isn't It too bad What will you do asked Nellie, sympathlzlngly. 1 can't make up the five hundred dollars unless you let me have your money now that Is a fact,' was the saporate answer.

Well, I will see what I can do,' said Nellie, coolly, as she brought forth her treasure.

There is ten, that will buy a new dress and ten, a cloak and five, a bat or bonnet^ and ten—I aball need that for boots, gloves and other little things. I tbink I can let you have fifteen dolla re,' looking up innocently.

A grieved look spread all over Chester's face tbe corner's of bis mouth began to twitch, and If be bad not been a tnan, and six feet high, he would have cried. 'Nellie!' tbat waa all be could say. 'What?' and then Nellie had both arma around bla neck and the bills were ail thrust Into his hand* 'I meant yon abould have tbem all,' she sobbed.

What made you act so, then How could you be ao—so provoking?* said Chester. ,,

Then Mrs.Nellle set up very straight, and aaid she, 'I»ld yon hate to aak me for thai money, Cheater

Yon know I did,' waa tbe answer. Well, wby haven't yon aaked tor It before

Because, you knew I wanted It days and days ago and I thought von ought to offer it. Of course, 1 didn't want to com* to you like aome old beggar,' said

Nellie dapped ber hands. I want to tell yon a little atoty, now,* aald ahe.

There waa ones a girl who had always earned ber money, and fianghtber way ia the world aloas, sad snoosedsd well, too.

Bat she waa foolish anongh to get married and then ahe had to work twice an hard ne ever before, and bavn doable tbe care but for all that, ahe never received a aingie peony without

Tfcen, aa sbe was naaalng bla house, one afternoon,,Mr. Stanley aoeneted bsrt *Mra, P.imeroy'sAid he, Mfyou waant a married woman should be after you, to teach our dlatrlct school this summer. We have got some good-sised girla that would go, if I could find tbo right teacher.' 'How much will you give me If I will take the school asked Nellie,trying to conceal her delight at the proposition.

What can you do,

Cbesur?' He was too proud to aak ber outright for her hard-earned money, but be thought, half angrily, Why doeen't ab« offer it? sbe ought to know I need it.' Hut he did not know bow eften sbo longed to do it, only being restrained DV her determination that he should ask her and see bow good it seemed.

Chester, yon deal

'Of course, I feel ns anxious to pay off our debuaayoade»5J would ng be ex travagant but If I ooula have ever eo Utile, and feel tbat it waa mine—freely and rightfully mine—don't you aee how much more pleassnt It would be Thea, If I wanted to give a dollar to tbe mbaionery oaoae, I could calculate my expenses Just aa 1 need to, and practice a little aolf-denlal, and do it. Don't you aee tbat,as It Is, women can't know muoh about tbe luxnry of giving? Juat pot youraelt in my plaoe. and think how ridiculous It would make you feel, to be obliged to come to my pocket every time you wanted to be charitable.' 'Ob! my! I can't imagine auoh a thiag! I wouldn't do it, you see,' laughed Chester. 'Nor would any man. Now do you think I ought to?' aaked Nellie.

No, I do not, and you shan't he obliged to 'suffer so again, I promise you but really, I never thought but It waa natural, auu all right for yon to do so.'

You will know better after this,' said Nellie, 'but I suppose you are anxious to go to Mr. Goldthwait's, ao I will not detain you.'

She stood at tbe window and watched him,as he rode away,with alight heart for she folt that what threatened to mar ber domeetic happiness waa bauished forever.

Nellie never taught again, aave when sbe established an Infant school In ber own kitchen but no subscription papers ever gave her

nor did she ever resume tbe trade of cobbler for in her own little purse was

mnctually deposited what Cheater called ber monthly dividends.'

CHURCH FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER. On entering the veetibnle the lady throws her bead up and poises it back aa far aa possible without a fraoture of the spinal column. When the sexton opens the door the skirt of the dress mnst bet rasped with the right band, throwing back the redingota to expoae the facing about ten inn.hes, and drawing the side breadths to the front, so as to threw tbe back folds Into wide and graceful prominence in the eweep up the aise. While waiting for the gentlemen to come ont of the pew tbe skirt must be allowed to toll, and the hand must be dropped upon the material to exhibit the bne of the kid glove and tbe quality of tbe honitou frills on tbe sleeve. The pew-door attitude is enhanced by a very slight tendency of the body to tbe left side, tbe eye fixed piously on the communion-table. Tbe latest position in prayer i« with tbe head bowed quite low, the lace of the handkerchief falling in relief over the glove, or a purple velvet band Bible with gold clasp. This position will require practice to avoid falling into a secnlar, drawing-room courtesy, as the Christian kneels down. The tendenoy of tbe shoulders in praver ii a little higher than in November the increased height of the ruff requiring a support, to prevent a break, in high religious attitudea. Fashionable saints are going to church five or ten minutes later than last season. The manxer of depositing contributions bos changed but little, tbe height to which the hand must be lifted still depeuding on tbe amount of the contribution.

AN EXCITING SPIRITUALISTIC SCENE. [From the New York Tlinea

On Sunday evening, Nov. 16, at the Atbentcuin Assembly Rooms. In Birmingham, England, a spiritualistic service was being held, and in the course of it a medium named Benjamin Hawkcs, a toy dealer of New street, addressed the meeting. He spoke for fully half an hour, appearing to be In bis usual health, and then he described with startling vlvidity a teance in which tbe Apostle Peter had manifested himself to tbe assembled spiritists, Peter bad clasped bands with him, and he (Hawkes) felt the close proasuro of the Apostle's grasp. From this he argued it was qnite possible to understand now Thomaa of Didymus thrust his hand into tbe side of "tbe Personification of Divine Love." The insta:it these last words were out of the speaker's mouth he fell back on tbe chair behind blm. There was great excitement, for tbe meeting believed Hawkes was under strong "spirit control." A few seconds elapsed, and a surgeon came op to tbe medium and (bund blm dead. Tbe meeting broke op in wild confusion.

CAMPHOR ASA MEDICINE. The Scientific American lectureetboee people who make frequent use of camphor as a medicine. It Bays:' 'The physiological action of camphor la not yet understood bot, judging from the symptoms wbieh followthetaking of a moderate doee, It may be called a nervous stimulant. It is somewhat like opium and alcohol, therefore, in Its action, when given In small quantities bat, when given In large doees, il esoses excessive irritation to tbe nervous system, producing convulsions and often death. Camphor acts to Irritate and congeal and finally to Inflame the mucous lining of the stomach, oausing in the milder cases a form of dyspepsia, and. In tbe more aggravated, ulceration of the stomach. From tbess two actions nemslr. that of tbe nervous stimulant aad local irritatioo—«»roe all the good and evil of Its aee. We can, therefore, readily see bow unsnitod this drag is to he a household remedy.
