There were days when letters came from
my party of friends, enjoying the summer
trip, which filled me with Il hateful dis
content. Hot days, when the sparkling
wares of the St. Lawrence dashed before
my eyes; when the Thousand Isles rose
ont of the mist of my vision. like the
Isles of the Riestt days when the velvet
lawns; the exquisite flowers, the spreading
beech, and the festive throng of Newport,
Knocked me in the distance, and, above
all, the sunny SUBMITS of the White
Mountains lifted themselves like dazzling
mirage.
But those days were few. There Is
nothing like sense of duty to curb the
wandering fancy,
Belle, like MANY another troubled young
housekeeper, needed only little instruc-
ton, and writes me that she has now a
happy, well-ordered home.
As for me, it is certainly a very deplora-
BILE and mournful thing for a woman to
be called -cute''-but then, if one has
managed to help another . little by it, the
cdium Is more supportable.
l have had my gay summer since, but
this l still Calmly Well-Spent Summer.

Obeying Mother Pleasantly.

Little Harry had seen some older boys
flying their kites from the tops OF Inc
houses, and he thought it would be nice
fun if he could do SO too. So he came TO
his aunt, and said:
Aunt Mary, may go up to the top OF
the house and fly my kite."
II is aunt wished to do everything TO
please him; but size thought it was very
unsafe, so she said:
mo, Harry, my boy; think it is very
dangerous sCrt of play. I'd rather you
wouldn't go"
"All ri ht Then I'll go out on the
bridge" said Harry. His aunt smiled,
and said she hoped he would always be rs
obedient at that.
Harry, what are you dolngE' SAID his
mother on one occasion.
SPINNING my new top, mother"
Cant YOU take the baby out to rider
Get out the carriage, and III bring him
down"
All right" shouted the boy, as he put
his top away in his pocket and fastened
to obey his mother.
Uncle William, may | go over to your
store, This morning." said Harry, one day,
al breakfast IL want 10 see those baskets
again, that | was looking at, yesterday"
But | cannot spare you to-day, Harry"
said his mother. Il want You to go out
with me; you shall go to the store another
time"
"All right" said Harry, and went on
with his breakfast.
No matter what Harry was asked TO do,
or what refusal he met with when asking
for anything, his constant answer was
"All right" He never stopped Ia worry
or tease He never asked 'Why can't y"
or "Why mustn't l." Harry had not only
learned to obey, but he had learned to
obey in good humor.-Yonth's Companion.

INDIAN PIPES.

All over white
Charley SAYS 1t y Indian Pipes
He told me where ibey grow.
The ghost OF an Indian sits and SMOKE.
In the moonlight and the dew,
Att, leaves his pipe when the morning breaks
But don't believe that's true.
Not even ghost could smoke, think,
And leave the pipe white;
Besides, it Ii more like flower, I'm sure,
Though il is not like one, quite:
As much like flower as our snow man
Was like a man-you know
The man We made by the window, here,
Last winter out of snow?
think some littleSairy child
Moulded the flower for play,
Trying 10 make a lily-bel
out of some strange new clay;
Or else it's a marble monument,
That the elfin people made
Where some thing wonderful was done
In the pleasant oak-trec shade.
would like to see them carving it
So carefully and well:
The round white stem, the tiny leaves,
And the large, white heavy bell.
Perhaps the fairies have found a snow
That will not melt away,
Bnt will last In the warmest summer time
Over a night and day.
Or little snow children fashioned this
Last winter. in the cold,
And the summer fairies found it hid
Under the dead leaves old.
I'm sure it is not 4 common flower,
That grows the Others growl
IT'S the fairest Thing ever found,

John ni-er' with lingering persuasive
ness. "Get right up. Your father says
he wants you 10 have all the paths shovel
ed before breakfast"
If little Jennie is up and ready for
breakfast, that is all that is expected. She
has nothing more important to do than
breathing on the frosty panes to get view
of Johnnie at work. Does the boy get up
early to get his skates harpened-"Don't
make that noise in here!'' Does he try
on those idols of his heart to see that
every strap and buckle is in order
Haven't told you times without num-
Der not to put on your skates in the
house, By next spring there won't be Il
rag of carpet Left How does little Jen-
ME manage to keep her skates in good
condition? Why, she appeals to the head
of the household: PA, can't Johnnie
bore hole in this strap for me." John,

ed. If Johnnie tries to play i'll the house,
he is told to put away that top or those
marbles asked if he can't keep quiet Il
minute, and advised to take a book and
sit down. On the contrary, just so soon
as he hurries home, and snatchcs up
'sRobinson Crusse" or Swiss Family
Robinson" and becomes oblivious for IA
time to his unhappy lot, he is reused
anew to it by the paternal voice,
Come, Johnnie, put up that book, and
go find the COW. She hasn't come home"
Jennie, who is very busy, putting her re
fractory do I 10 bed, wonders how Johnnie
knows which way to turn to look for the
missing animal. Perhaps he catches
granddaddy long-legs, and repeats that
familiar rhyme which compcls him to
point out the road Johnnie must take
Johnnie being Intercepted rs to that sub
iect on his return sings his cap detiantly
into the corner in the groundswcll OF his
discomfort, snatches up "Robinson Cru
soc" again, mutterS something under his
breath about girls and "geese," and is
again absorbed in his book. Come,
now, Johnnie" says his mother, 'don't
go to reading again" It's eight O'Clock"
Five minutes elapses. Johnnie, did you

WE have no other authority for it than
Jones himself and therefore cannot vouch
for its truthfulness. Jones told us that he
was prosecuted nearly to death some time
ago by a sewing machine agent, who
wanted him to make a purchase. Unable
at last to endure the persistence of the
man. Jones SAYS he bought diving-bell,
and went out four hundred miles from
land and descended two miles into the
ocean to spend a few days in peace. He
had hardly touched bottom when he saw
the sewing machine man coming down in
the divers armOr, carrying with him a
shuttle-feed and sixty strong testimonials
to the merits of his button-hOle attach
ment. Jones informs us that he suddenly
rose to the surface and prepared to sail
home; but just as the ships anchor was
being hauled over the side, it fell and up
set the cooks caboose, scattering the live
Goals in the powder magazine. This
caused terrible explosion, and Mr.
Jones was blown four miles upward into
the air. This is Jones statement, re-
member.) Just us he began to come down
he met the sewing machine solicitor COM
up in "A balloon, with bucketful of
samples Of the lockstitch, and model of
his patent reversible hemmer. When
Jones fell he was picked up, and he sail
ed straight for home. AS the vessel drew
near lne JOCK Jones perceived the agent
standing on the wharf waiting for him
with ''noiselcss buttonhole attachment"
eve thought all button-holes were neces-
sarily noiseless; but Jones is responsibility
Thereupon Jones hid himself in the cabin,
and instructed the captain to say to the
agent that he, Jones, had died of yellow
fever on the voyage. When the Sc wing
machine man heard this he seized copy
OF a certificate from a clergyman's wife,
and then blew out his brains with a
pistol, evidently determined to follow
Jones into the next world, and sell him a
machine at all hazards. We give this for
what it is worth. We only know that
Jones was educated by his parents to be-
lieve that it is wicked to tell lie.-.War

A Petty SwindIe.

FoR several DAYS, at different points of
our streets, young man might have been
seen, and was seen and patroniZed, with a
large stock of tiny envelopes Endorsed as
containing the seed of the "Siberian Ev-
ergreen." The man also had several moist
sponges from which were growing quite
luxuriantly some pretty plants of the ever
green family. The popularity of the
seed and plants consisted in the fact that
they all exhaled a strong and pleasant
perfume, which the seller said was natural
and permanent to Siberian e-efgreen. So
cleverlv had The goods been fixed up,
and so attractive was the bait to human
oliactories that the seed sold very rapidly
at ten cents per package. MIR. Dime told
his customers that all they need do was to
deposit the seed in a wet sponge, as he
had done, and in few hours it would
spiout up into real Siberians, such as
were his specimens, with all the delight
full fragrance which hung around those
same specimens. People by scores and
hundreds invested their dimes, among
| whom were many post office clerks, who
are known to have left their public envel-
opes for Il moment, that they might get
those of the Siberian sort. In fact, Mr..
Dime has been a very active and success.
full seller in various parts of the city, and
he must have realized quite a little fortune
from his sweetsmelIing siberian" seed.
But the whole thing base, though
petty fraud, and the seed did not come up
to the expectations of the purchasers, nor
was it by any manner of means true to the
plant Mr.. Dime represented. In few
hours all perfume exhaled and left no
scent behind, and the sprouts which have
terminated present only the qualities of
field grasses and weeds. The clover and
other seed had been literally bathed with
cheap essences, and the plants and sponges
had received similar tire ttment, which was
all that was needed to catch people who
had left their common sense at home or
carried it only in their noses. AS grass
seed can be obtained in the market for
for about five cents per pound, selling it,

and spur. The fact is, he nearly killed
himself in the effort, and had to be carried
upstairs to bed, and his firm belief was
that the mule would die that night; but,
to his establishment, the next morning he
found that the mule had kicked to death n

A MAN named Sewell who was owing a
Michigan avenue man twenty dollars for
liquor, settled up yesterday morning by
telling the saloonist that he might take
the family sewing machine for his pay.
The man went with Il wagon to Sewells
house on Grand River avenue TO take it,
but when the wife found out what was up
she seized club and whacked the credi-
tor out of the house and clear across the
avenue. She just wants to see the man
who can take her sewing machine for Il
whisky bill.
"Thirty-two ccntsr" echoed woman
yesterday when her grocer charged her
that sum for "A pound of butter. Yes
um," he replied, with bland smile.
I" on see the grOcerS can't carry much
of n reserve, and we can't turn out our
collaterals at sacrifice. If the govern
ment calls in the bonds due in 1874 and
the imports of bullion tend to ease the
money market Il little butter must find
its level with everything else. But
ter is very panicky just now, but |

money without further growing
A farmer, living up the river, came
