FELL EROM GRACE. BY S. W. FOSS. We alius uster think Joe Bean a fairish sorter | mnn, An' built upon a purty plum au’ perpendicular ■ plan; We made him selectman an’ 'squire, sent him to General Court; Whatever post of trust he had he alius held the ' fort. j We sought a Guvernor last year, we scoured the | St ate thr. ugh clean; We couldn t find no better man an’ pounced on ! neighbor Bean. I nomeruated him myself, yes, yelled out loud an'plain: “I norm route old Joseph Bean—a man without i a stain.” An' then the big convention roared, hurrahed, ! an’ slapped an' yelled; It took the chesiman La f an hour afore the । noise was quelled. You’d think the way they yelled, an’ roared, an’ pout ded there like sin, Joe 1 eun bo w s a perfect man an' angel Gabriel’s twin. But nex' day the paper hutted that his mother s.arved to death, An'Joo wouldn t give her food enough to keep h r mortal breath; An’ then another paper said he uster beat his wife Au' how sue hid out in th' barn that she might save her life. They said he was an infidel, an’ anarchist an’ I snide, An' said it looked suspicious that ur way his father died. An' then they said the horse he driv would pain his guilty soul — It looked exactly like the boss Jed Butterfield had stole. They said Ned Jonas, the peddler, found murdered on the green, The last time he was seen alive was seen with Joseph Bean; They sai I .he Baptis' meetin' house, burned to the ground last May, Was lighted by a certain man—but they didn’t like to say. But Joe was ’leoted Guvernor, an’ now ho rules the State, But he won’t never bo the same to me, I calkerlate; I nstor think him honest, an’ pure, an’ just, an’ good. But now I m kinder 'shamed to live in the same neighborhood. Lost Lina; -OR.THE RITTER AND THE SWEET. A Tale of Two Continents. BY MRS. NINA LAWSON CHAPTER XIX. Finally the day arrived when Lenora was to be dressed, and would be allowed to walk to Mrs. Bristol’s private parlor, and sit up for a while. She was then to go to her own room and have a maid to be with her all the time. A soft, rich, delicate, pink wrapper, with silken hose and little pink satin slippers, was waiting f. r Lenora when I she was ready to be dressed. Ah, how lovely sbe looked, ns Mrs. Bristol led her into her own j arlor and seated her in a soft, blue plush chair, by the glowing fire in the gr.ite. It tired the little patient very much, and she sank among the soft cushions, with a little sigh of relief; her loving! nurse heard the sigh, and a soft, warm I kiss was pressed on the snow-white foreh: ad in response. “You seem so loving and kind, just like I always think that my mamma would have been. Have vou a daughter?” “No, detir; but what makes you ask that question? Have you no parents?” Lenora turned her great, beautiful I eyes, now dim with tears, toward her friend, and then in a soft, trembling voice she said: “No; I have no parents, no home, no friends, and I do not know where to go. I have so longed for a mother, amt have wished every day of my life that my mamma had not died; perhaps I should not havQ been so knely and poor. This ring is all I have to remember her by.” “My poor, poor little dear. And you have no home, no friends. What was that gentleman to you that you se, med io fear so; was he your husband?” Before Mrs. Bristol had ceased speaking every particle of color had left Lenora’s face, and she was compelled to gasp for breath. The loving nurse noticed the effect of her words, and felt sorry that she had said anything about it. “No, my dear friend, he was not my husband, but said that he loved me and wanted me to be his wife. I did not ' think that he spoke the truth, and | something seemod to tell me that he was my worst enemy, and that there j was a great mystery about tho wild ? affair. Oh! how I loa'h d his very presence, and now I believe that if he had ever touched my hand, it would have killed me. It all gives me such pain that I would rathe;’ die than r call the past.” Lenora’s whole! body shook as if she were standing out in tlie piercing win 11 and not sitting by the warm, br.ght fire. Mrs. Bristol saw how agitate ! her little patient was, and|now tnatshe was convinced that Lenora was no; the i character that Jeannette hid called ; her, she said no more on the’subject and made up her mind that if Lenora | ever cuoseto make her a confidante she would be pleased and listen, and, if not, she would not touch upon the subject again. “I will say no more about it, dear'; but yon have never told me your name yet. What is it?” Lenora hesitated a few moments and then said: “I h ive been called Lina Rice since my earliest recoil ction by those who knew me. I know of no other proper name.” She did not know why she ha I been given that name, Lenora Churchill, when she was stolen away, but supposed it was as her to.mentor had said, "that < no one might identify her.” She coa- i sidered the nam ? would be a disgrace ■ to her, and if she should give that name ! < it might ba possild 1 that, if h > did not ' then know where she was, he might ( hear of it an 1 h r whereabouts, and 1 then come and claim her a ; his iis me ] runawa; wife, as he had once threat- I ened to do. As yet she was under the conviction that possibly (lei tma ha 1 s nt her off 1 in that manner s > that Noll could not i find her. She also thought that if she j : gave the name of Lina Rice, perhaps her uncle would relent and in [ < some way hear of her and com and take 1 her back to the home that she loved so < well. 1 “Lina is a very pretty name, indeed,’’ i said Mrs. Bristol. But sh * sai I nothing about the other; it did not seem to her that that name exactly suited, but why she felt so she could not understand. This noble, loving woman was being drawn closer and closer to her little 1 patient, and had learned to love her so I dearly that she could not think of j art- ; ing with her, and asked her to remain । as long as sho chose to. 1 As they sat there ia the bright.

of the other, Jeannette Legau playing on the piano that stood in the sj 'joious j family sitting-room, just below tl em, Jurmette wa< not a good play< T, ill- ' though sh »had spent a gTcat deal of j time and money trying to learn: never- | theless the music sounded very sweet, ; and as it rang through the rooms and : halls of the great mansion it seemed to I calm Lenora, and brought a sweet smile ■ ' to her pale lips. “1 see you are fond of music, Lina; i ! do you know how to play ?” । "Yes. There is nothing on earth ' that I enjoy more. for. when I am low- I ' spirited, and nervous, and almost weary [ ।of life, it is music, sweet music, that I | calms my weary spirit and soothes my ! nerves; but I cannot play. Vnfortunately, I have scarcely had an opportunity to study music.” "As soon a i you arc well enough to go down sta rs, you will let me see Low well you can play, won’t yon, dear?” Lenora. said nothing, but in au instant her cheeks were scarlet, and her gre it dreamy eyes gazed straight into the grate. “You need not worry or oare. Lina; ii you have not been instructed prop erly, I will no! ask you to play for any one but myself. My son, Raynard, is very fond of music, and we have gi.vh Jeannette every opportunity of becoming a good musician.” Lenora made no reply, and was still gazing into the tire; she did not A’em to realize that her friend had been talking to her, for she had been thinking of the few sweet hours she had spent with Gertana in her captivity. Mrs. Bristol looked steadily at Lenora when she mentioned her son’s name, to detect, if possible, a change in the expresdon of the countenance, but to her great joy her little pet did not seem to notice her. “I feel so happy here; it seems like Heaven, now that I am free and safe.” These words were intended to be unspoki n thoughts but in her happiness L nora allowed them to escape htr lips before she thought. That was one of her little failings, and how hard she i had tried to quit it, but all in vain, j Mrs. Bristol saw by the expression on I Lenora’s face that th it speech had not been intended for any one’s ears. “Ah, poor child! No doubt she has | some sad secret of the past that she does not wish to be known: no matter, I will say nothing about it. If she wishes to take me into her confidence, well and good: if not, she is a brave girl to bear her sorrow so well.” As they sat there, the last rays of the bright golden sun kissed the forehead of this dear old Laly, and lin- I gered for a moment on Lenora's pale ( gold curli. The two spent a lovely, peaceful hour in the gathering twil ght, while the bright glow of the lire in the grate j lighted up Lenora’s pale yet happy | face. By and by Airs. Bristol went to dinner, and Lenora returned to the pleasant chamber; it would soon be time.| for the little pat ent to retire. “In about a week, dear, you will be able to go to a room of your own, and I I have sent fora good, trustv maid for you. “Thank you. You are too kind, my dear, go id friend.” The week soon passed around, and the day came for Lenora to take p»s session of her own apartments. She had grown quite strong by this tim ■, and. as the divs went by. Mrs. Bristol saw with delight that her pa- ' tient’s cheeks were no longer so very j pale, but that a delicate pink color rested there, which only added to the beauty of her face. “I will give you the blue rooms, Lina, and this is the day for you to take pos- ’ session, isn’t it ?” “Yes, to-day is the day, I think. I j know I shall be pleased with them, and I you are so good to me. ” “Never mind that, dear. It only 1 givt s me pleasure to see the lovely pink ; color in your cheeks. That repays me I for my trouble, twice over; there is ; your maid, Cecile, waiting to show yon j your rooms. “Go now, and see how yon like I them.” Lenora followed Cecile along the i broad corridor; hers was the second suite from Mrs. Bristol's, and the rooms j were in the southwestern part of the ■ main building. As the maid threw op >n the door for her little mistress to pass in, a glow of ■ bright colors, pink, blue, and silver, met Lenora's eyes. She went in, through all the rooms, looking like a j little queen, in her flowing pink wrap- ; per and satin slippers. “The mistress said I should see j whether you liked your wardrobe or not?” Lenora looked at the long row of beautiful dresses that were for her. and from her d • ir. kind friend. “Yes, Cecil, everything is all right; i and haw very kind Mrs. Bristol is. I Oh, God is so good to me, and I am so | v,n worthy!” She went back into her own private ‘ parlor. To her there never was anything more beautiful. From the west windows she could see i the lake, now partly covered with ice t and snow, while far beyond the snow ! crust was the dark blue water. From : the south windows she could see the I long, broad dtive that led from the I Bristol estate to the city, and on each । side of the drive was a row of tall maple i and pine. A guitar and piano had be ?n placed ; in her parlor; there seemed to be noth- ! ing wanting for her amusement and ; comfort, and, in fact, she had every- ! thing her heart could wish for, and what was more to her than all else, she I was free. She had been standing by the win- i dow for some little time looking over ! the lake, while her face was radiant I with happiness and her eyes . were ! sparkling through the tears of joy. A slight rustling of silk at her side j caused her to look around. Mrs. Bristol had been standing there •watching her for some time, but she did not kn >w it. “Are you not happy, my dear?” “Oh, yes, yes, indeed. I am too happy for it to last long. Your kind- j ness overwhelms, and it all seems like i a sweet dream.” Great drops of tears stood in her | eyes, just ready to roll over the heavy । lashes, and go trickling down her ! cheeks. Mrs. Bristol put her arm gently around the slender waist and drew her to a sofa. “Come, let’s sit down, Lina. Yon must not, <xr rt yourself too much, for you know you are not very strong yet.” “No, I am not as strong as I should like to be, but I intend to try and get well vt ry fast, so that I can go out in the world and be independent. I know how to do housework and no doubt can get a position some place. Your son will be home soon and I must go be- I fore he returns; I fear he will not like my staying here as long as I have.” “Hush, mv dear child; don’t worry ; * 4

about that, at all. I disagree with you there, for I am sure that he will not be । displeased at all, and as for your har- , boring the thought of getting a position t) do house-work—why dear, that lis absurd. You are no more fit to nn- ! dertake such a task than I to fell a j tree. Should thete be need of your I doing something for yourself, c mid I yott m t teach something—painting, ! drawing, or even take a class in some ; school? Could you teach French? I 1 believe I heard you humming a French i song this morning.” “Oh, as far ns that is cone. med. I । understand French ns well ns I do English, and I know but verv few songs m English.” “There, there, my dear, .1 know that you were not so ignorant as you s 'emed to think yon are, and now you ne'd never fear but that yon can get along very nicely in the world.' “Oh. thank you! When you are speaking it seems as if you wore picking the thorns out from my pathway; but yet, were I to venture fur out on the dreary w aste, I fear th re would be a few remaining. It does seem that nothing bitt loses al’e scattered in my pathway lieheefoitli!” Mrs. Brist >1 drew her little pet in her arms and pressed her close to her bosom, while on the lovely w hite brow the kisites tell like sparkling rain-drops from a cloudless sky. “My precious child, in your sweet innocence you do me more good than all els? in the world. It se.ms that God sent you here to clp er me in my old age. Your liiqipy, smiling face is like sunshine to me." “If I.am any comfort to you. mv dear and only friend, nothing would give me more pleasure than to remain w ith yon forever, but it does not seam that such happiness is for me. When your son comes home I know he will hate me and be angry w ith me for allowing me to r main here s > long, yet it makes me shudder to think that I must go out in the world for for fear I may meet that wicked man. Oh, what did , I do, or what could 1 have done, that I | should have been so severely pun- ! ished!” Lenora lay for some time in Mrs. Bristol’s arms, sobbing as if heT heart I would break, while the silken ringlets were being brushed back from her face by a kind, motherly hand. “There now, Lina, yon feel better, I know; 1 iok up at me and tell me that you are happy and will be content here in the blue rooms. Dry your tears, dear, a id then we will go down-stairs ! and 1 will show you niy house. You have not been str mg enough yet to go 1 all over it, and I did not w ant to tax ' your strength to > much." "Oh yei. Mrs. Bristol, I am happy, ' very, very happy, and the rooms are so I beautiful. You ar * so good and kind to me. a lonely, wand l ring girl. 1 cannot find words t > think you.” But she pressed hersoft, white arms around her friend's neck and kissel her gently on the rhe k. That kiss an 1 gentl > pressure of those little soft arms was more to Mrs. Bristol than ten thousand words of . thanks. pro in: lONTixuim] How to Measure Your ( hot. \s the result of nmnv years’ experienoe, the, Recruiting Office of the Unite ! States army has adopt d this method of chest measurement, w hich may be of advant age to amateur athletes who find the circtuuference of their chests ? arying through inaccurate measurement. Strip to’ the waist. Hold youT arms above your head, the tips of your fingers touching. Have the measurer ]>ut a tape around your chest under tin' armpits. Inhale and . exhale naturally. Let your arms fall i easily by yoar side. The tape will j slip dow n to the inaximum girth of the ■ chest. This is th ' mean chest. Exhale all you can, still keeping your arms by your side. This is the niini- ■ mum chest. Inhale and inflate all yon . can, in the same position. Thi- is the maximum chest. The difference be- ' tween the minimum and maximum chests is called the mobility. A mo- ! bility of three inches in a man of medium height is considered good, below two and one-half inches it - is poor. Artilieal movements of the arms or muscles interfere with proper measurements.

But with only a ingle sort, or with one very early and one very late (the la*ter shedding its pollen only after the e irs of the former have well set), no mixing can take place, and the seed may be use ! with c- -tire confidence in its purity.

At one year there are two large teeth in tl^e center of the jaw, and two are added each ye ir up to five years, when the sheep is said to have a “full mouth.” After this the tUge can not be told by the teeth, and unless the animal is vigorous it has nearly outlived its usefulness and should be pi epared for the butcher.

1 Long Sermon Makes a bog Weary* During a recent journey in Canada I met with a striking instance of reason ih a dog. I was staying at the Mohawk Indian Institution, Brantford, Ont. The Rev. H. Ashton, Superintendent, of the school, is fond of animals and has many pets. One of these, a black-and-tan terrier, always accompanies 1 the ninety Indian children to church 1 Sunday morning. Jie goes to the altar rails and lies down facing the congre- ; gation. When they rise ho rises, an ! when they sit ho lies dow n. One day shortly before my visit a strange clergyman was preaching, and thi' sermon was longer than usual. The ! dog grew tired am! restless, and at last a thought occurred t > him upon which he at once acted. He had abservej that one of the Indian boys was accustomed to hand round a plate for alms, after which the service at once concluded. He evidently thought if he could persuade this boy to take up the c Election the service must naturally end. He ran down to the back stat occupied by the boy, st at< d himself in the aisle, and gazed steadily in the boy’s face. Finding that no notice was taken, he sat up and “begged” persistently for some time, to Mr. Ashton's great amusement. Finally, as this also failed, the dog put his nose under the lad's knee and tried with all his strength to force him out of his place, continuing this at intervals till the sermon hud concluded! - i .London Speelator. Shrewdness Among Africans. There is an idea abroad that w hen a man fails at every tiling at home the best thing he can do is to puck bis trunk and go forth as a missionary among the heathen. But if all reports be true, the theory is not well founded. According to Bishop Taylor, the African heathen compare favorably in natural shrewdness with the rest of mankind, and the man who thinks he can fool them is liable to get left. A young missionarv, on going to Africa, was accosted in this way: “Doyon bring me blanket?” “No; something far better.” “WLat do ion bring?” “I bring yqu good news.” “And what is the news?" “1 have come to tell you about out’ great Father who gave you your lands> your cattle, your sheep, your goats, vour pigs, your corn, and all that you enjoy." “Is ho your father?” queried the native. “Yes,” replied the missionary. “Will, now-,” respondo I the black man, “if your fathi r is so generous as to give me all these good things for, nothing, surely if you are anything like your father 1 think you might give me one blanket.” Hn^alo (’ouricr.
