dotted on her. She had nursed him, you
know, because his mother was so feeble
and so-well, he came to this country
fifteen years ago, and first he set up

along pretty well, and was about
to send to England for the old lady,
when hard times came and he got broke
He went into fruit, then, and after that
into milk--into all sorts of things, you
know; but he got disappointed every
time, till this present business fetched
out all right, and he sent right off for the
old woman. She landed here four weeks
ago, but died the very same night. 1t was
hard, very hard, after all his waiting and
toiling for fifteen years, to get her over
at last, and have her die on his hands.
He-he-well, he was disgusted. How
ever, he laid her out, and he and
his friends sat up with her, and bye and
bye the memories of her virtues softened
his bitterness and turned it to tender
grief-a settled melancholy that hung
about his spirit like pail for many
days. However, by patiently striving to
keep sad thoughts out Of his mind he
was finally beginning to regain some of
his old time cheerfulness, when your

The Economx of Hnsh.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A West Side man the other day bought
whatseemed to be very nice piece of
corn beef which his wife cooked and
served for dinner As he put piece on
his plate a pungent odor greeted his
nostrils, and he knew he had been swim
died on the meat, that it was too anti
quated to be placed on the table Of any
well-regulated family. On sudden i'm
pulse he seized the odoriferous beef and
flung it through an open window. Now,
his better-half is of an economical turn
of mind and, perhaps, is one of those
epicures who think meat is best when
tainted. At all events, she declared
that the beef should be eaten. So she
sent a child to pick the meat out of the
dirt, then she carefully washed the piece,
cut it up, made hash and set it before
her lord for his supper. BE ate heartily,
and after he had finished, his wife asked
him how he liked the hash. Bully"
was his impolite answer. Whereupon
she informed him that it was made of
the meat he had rejected.
