A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

QBOWN-UP LAND.

morning, fair maid, with lasbet brown you tell me the way to Womanhoad Town* ,t

The speaker was a spare little man, with dark hair, thinly sprinkled with gray. He wore a

Kwallow-tail

Jrlendsman.

coat

adorned with brass buttons corduroy breeches, fastened at the knee thick, blue, worsted stockings encased his legs, and a pair of low shoes covered bis feet. His vissage had a placid expression, as be glanced first at tbe well-kept garden, with its rows of potatoes and •ther vegetables then out to the little .paddock adjoining, where two cows were grazing and next over the wide, undulating mealow land bevond, ills eyes resting finally on the iar distant hills. He put tbe end of his long clay pipe between bis lips, and watched tbe wreaths of smoke slowly asoanding from it.

Mr. Johnson was a noble looking man bis snowy hair and long, white beard gave him a patriarchal appearance. His countenance laoked that acute, intellectual expression which is so often stamped upon the visage of a mlddle-

Soughtful,

ed "town-man." His eyes were but gentle his whole bearing spoke of innate goodness. The few wrinkles, wbicl. bald gathered on the white, placid brow, had been gradually traced there by time's relentless fingers,

and not suddenly cut by a kees, sharp rrow. He smoked silent]v for a few moments, and then replied to his friend's remark: "You're right this is a neat little •pot. But I'll tell you what I've been a tbinktn' on, Hayes. You know my Jennie's agoln' to Be married to Robert Meadows. She's my own child, so of course she'll have all my belongings •when I'm gone: but I've been a-thlnkin,' that, soon after she'B settled, I'll have a deed of gift drawn up, and turn everything over to her then there'll be no ,proving tbe will, and all that fuss and the lawyers won't have a pickin' oat o' my bit o' property. I shall live here, and be master just tbe same. What do you say to that, friend Hayes 7"

The old man put a hand over each knee, and gazed into the other's face, with an expression which said, "Don't you think it's a very brilliant idea?"

His friend took the pipe out of his mouth, and shook his head dubiously tfaen replaced it between bis Hps, and gazed fixedly before htm for an instant we he answered then be said, slowly and emphatically: "I don't like It."

He shook the ashes from his pipe, and began leisurely to fill it again with tobacco. "I never seed a play but once," he began, In slow, measured tones, "and that was many years ago, when I was a

Well, I went, and the sight o' the lights, the gay dresses, and the flash iiolks. I shall never forget. But It was tbe play that struck me. There was a good old klug who bad three daughters, and be thought he'd divide tbe kingdom amongst 'em. They was very pleased the eldest went down on her knees, and swore how she loved htm more than anybody else and said as how he was the kindest, noblest, and best father that ever lived—or words sutnmat like them. The next said about tbe same, only a great deal more but I thought both on "em looked too big and handsome and wide-awake to stick to their word. Tbe third daughter said very little but I thought she was the nicest-looking of all the lot.

Ingratitude Revenged.

"You've got a neat little spot here," remarked Parmer Hayes to his frieLid, Mr. Johnson.

Tbe two old men were sitting upon wooden seats, which were placed on «ttber side of tbe rustic porch, that formed a kind of arbor entrance to tbe front door of the dwelling.

The wedding-day arrived. Mr. Johnson was placed in the seat of

the deeu of gift, and the young people were formerly acknowledged as master and mistress of the farm with the understanding that Mr. Johnson was to reside with them.

All wt nt well for a time. Then gradually there came a change over the serene atmosphere of the dwelling, and tbe old man became conscious that be was no longer treated with courtesy, nor his wishes respected. "Would you mind sleeping in the back bed-room for a few weeks T—we have a visitor coming 1" said Jennie one morning, about six months after the wedding.

Tbe old man stared In great surprise. "Why can't the visitor go into the back room be asked. "Ob, it's such a little, poky place! I don't mean that exactly T'sheexclaimed, checking herself in confusion. "The room is very clean, and there is really a beautiful view from the window, and good feather bed. But Miss Martin is very particular she has such a grand bo me that we cannot put her any where

Mr. Johnson leisurely crossed his legs, put bis newspaper on tbe table, took his spectacles off, rubbed them, put them back in the case, and then slowly rejoined: "If there is such a fine view from the window, your visitor may enjoy it, and she can sleep on tbe feathered bed. I've slept in the front room flve-snd-forty years, and I ain't a-going to be turned out now. If Miss Martin ain't satisfied with tbe accommodation, she may stay away!"

Jtay away indeed!" fired Jennie. "It's just like you, father. I oall you very selfish."

She hastily left the room, shutting the door with a bang. The old man took up the newspaper, but the words rau into one another, for large tears gathered in his bright, gray eyes, and bTa lips quivered painfully.

Miss Martin came, and Informed Jennie that her father was the most aristo-cratic-looking gentleman she had ever seen but during her stay Mr. Johnson was subjected to many slights,as Jennie and her husband were ashamed of some of his old fashioned ways.

One evening Mi. Jofcnson returned from the village, where he spent the day with a friend. He walked leisurely up the garden path but suddenly paused, and uttered an exclamation of astonishment.

A fine hawthorn tree, which bad stood near the house, and bad been full of pink blossoms in the spring, lay upon the ground. On examining it, be disr covered that it had been cut off near the roots. *He turned hastily to enter tbe house by the front door, when he observe ed that the monthly rose tree, which bad twined the porch and been full of bloom all summer, lay across the garden path, but into a number of pieces, and an attempt had been made to dig it up by tbe roots. "Robert! Robert!"cried Mr. Johnson. "What's tbe matter?-' queried a voice from an inner room. "Who's been cutting them down?" cried the old man. excitedly, entering the apartment, ana waving nls hand towards the garden. "I have,'' answered Mr. Meadows, complacently. "Why did you do it?" "Because I chose to." "There, don quarrel," said Jennie. "It's all my fault, father. The hawthorn tree was close to the parlor win-, dew, and made the room dark—so I asked Robert to cut it down. The rose tree is not much good we are going to have a finer one put in its place." "That hawthorn tree your mother set with her own hands, and the rose tree I planted on the day you were born. Your mother lovea them both, and heaven forgive you for what you have done!"

He turned away, asoended the stairs, entered his own room, and closed the door. "It Farmer Turner calls, just send round for me, will you, Jennie?" asked Mr. Meadows, one morning, at breakfast. "He's coming to look at ola Bettie." "Yes, I'll send," replied bis wife. "What's tbe matter with the eow?" lnquiied Mr. Johnson. "Oh, nothingv" replied the yonng man. "Iln going to sell ber."

"Have her here!" repeated hi« daughter. In astonishment. "What can yon be thinking about, father There's plenty of us to keep already.**

She broke her cotton with a jerk, and threaded her needle impatiently. We're going to have company this afternoon," resumed Jennie, after a pause, in a conciliatory tone "and as they are very fine people, I think you'd better have your pipe in the kitchen, father. You would not enjoy yourself with as." "Very well, my dear," he answered, quietly. He put his slippered feet on the fender, and gsaed over his goldrimmed spectacles into tbe biasing fire. "I've been a-thinking, my dear," he resumed, quietly, after a pause, "that there's a little error in that deed of gift." "An error?" repeated Jennie, as she dropped her work, and looked np with a scared, white face. "Yes I'm Bare there's an error. It wouldn't be pleasant for you, if tbe property was to be thrown into Chancery, after I'm gone, would it "Oh, father!'' "Well, fetch the deed down to me 111 look it over, and set it all right."

Jennie hastened up stairs, and soon returned with tbe precious paper. The old man took it in his hand, smoothed out the creases gently, read it over, and said: "Ah! it is all one great mistake!"

Then, with a qulcn movement, he threw the document into the biasing fire, and pressed it down with the poker.

Jennie screamed and, darting forward, attempted to rescue tbe deed from tbe devouring flames but her father held up his hand sternly, and said, in a tone of aathority -'-a "Stand back

"You may have your company this afternoon, Jennie,'' h« continued, after a pause, "but it will be your last in my house.

Jane, the sister, came to live at the farmhouse, and passed away at the advaraed age of elgbtj^X. Mr. Johnson lived ten years after her, retaining all his faculties to the last, and died in bis ninety-ninth year.

Jennie and her husband had to work very hard in order to bring up their large family respeotably. Robert's hslr was silvery white, and Jennie's thickly streaked with gray, tend their sons aad daughters were men and women, when tbe formerly ungrateful couple were again allowed to take possession of tbe old farmhouse.

HOT WATER RBMKDIE8. There is no remedy of such general application, and none so easily attainable, as water and yet nine persons in ten will pass by it in an emergency to seek for something of far less efficiency.

There are but few cases of illness where water should not occupy the highest plsce as a remedial agent.

A strip of flannel or a napkin folded lengthwise, and dipped in hot water ana wrung out, and then applied around theneek of a child that has tbe croup, will usually bring relief in ten minutes.

A towel folded several times and dipped in hot water and quickly wrung and applied over the seat of the pain in toothache or neuralgia will generally afford prompt relief. This treatment in chollc works almost like magic. I have seen oases that have resisted other treat ment for hours yield to this in ten minutes. There is nothing that will so promptly cut short a congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatisn as hot water when applied promptly and thoroughly.

Pieces of cotton batting dipped in hot water and kept applied to old sores or new cuts, bruises and sprains is tbe treatment now generally adopted in hospitals. I have sefen a sprained ankle cured in an hour by showering it with hot water, poured frcm a height of three feet.

Tepid water acts promptly as an emetic, and hot water taken freely half an hour before bed-time is the beet of cathartics in tbe case of constipation, while it has tbe most soothing effect on the stomach and bowels. This treatment continued for a few months, with proper attention to diet, will cure any curable case of dyspepsia.

Headaches almost always yield to the the simultaneous applications of hot water to the feet ana the hack of tbe neck.

It is an excellent plan to record facts like these in a note-book, which should be always at hand when wanted. In tbe anxiety caused by accidents or sodden illness in the family one becomes confused, and is not apt to remember quickly what should be done henee there may be prolonged and unnecessary suffering before proper remedies are apnlled^s1?' ••BHB9B9SBSMBSBK9BSSS

She says that she rested in Abraham's bosom that all about her was filled with millions upon millions of happy beings, whoee races bore no traces of sorrow or woe, but, on the other hand, were lit up with the most beautiful sna happy expressions. In this etherisl space she met friends who had been dead for years and their only occupation seemed to be to sing songs of praise and to play upon their golden harps.

THE MOTHER INSTINCT.

Francisco Chronicle.

It is curious te see how girl children all cling to dolls. I was at a Christmas tree on Wednesday evening. The child, a girl three years old, had a dozen or fifteen little preseute. Sbe had nothing to say she looked kind of helplessly around as if tbe rapid rush of besutlful things daaed ber. Sbe took eaoh new one and grasped it closely'for a minute, but laid it aside carelessly as the next came. About tbe third thing she got, however, wss a doll, a female doll, with bright eyes, a profusion of blonde hair, a blue silk dress, and a pair of blue stockings. That sbe never released for rings, or pictures, or anything. And sbe went to bed with tbe doll in her arms It was the only thing, ber mother said, sbe seemed to remember next morning, for she can*) across ber in the UUI CWIJ W4VU VMV uv». -t~r of the dress, which sbe bad carefully put inte a basin to be washed, and on Christ mas night &ts« was combing the doll's hair, explaining that she could not put on the dtess untif it had dried. I suppose it wasthebuddingof that mother's instinct whioh makes all women so much dearer to tbe world tban men.

THE SWEET OLD MOTHEBS. [Hons Journal.] I never see an old lady sitting in the arm chair at ber ease but I think what storms have pelted into that cheery faoe without souring it. It may be that a man can go through more exertion than a woman, but at least it remains true that be cannot without losing his laughter, his good sheer, bis gentleness and bis love and trust in mankind or Ood. Yet bow rarely do we fled a frail old mother whose spirit has been worn threadbare and unlovely by what sbe bas endured. A sweet old mother Is common a si*eet old father is not so common. As thy day so thy strength of love, thy riches of an inexhaustible benevolence and hope and faith. This is more apt to be a woman's history than a man's.

The uses of Japanese umbrellas seem very nearly inexhaustible. Just now tbe whim is to cut away a portion of the paper covering and to fill in tbe space with narrow, bright-colored satin ribbons, woven in and out of the ribs. Tbe umbrellas are then used as plaques, or converted into baskets or wall-pockets. One of the prettiest ways of arranging Christmas cards is to cut off the stick and invert a medium siaed umbrella, and fasten it over a table or picture and slip tbe pretty cards under the ribs, that are too slender to bide any portion of the cards and yet hold them securely in place.

When invalids are convalescing they are more particular about the minutise of their diet tban when well. Always serve as small a quantity as possible at once. Let everything be neat and clean on the tray. Do not spill tbe tea in the saucer nor fill tbe gruel bowl more than one-half full. When you make toast always roll it on your bread board with the rolling-pin, to crush the crust then put it on a hot plate in the oven for a minute 'cover with another hot plate and serve. If you serve boiled eggs in tbe shells, snd wish to keep them from •ooking after they have boiled three minutes, just take the back of the bowl of a teaspoon and crack one end a little, to stop the cooking process.
