! The young man made polite
reply, and proceeded to pat aside
the jewels, and to draw ~ check
for the money. The March winds
were still clustering without, and
the girl shivered and drew her
wrapper closer, as she started
out.
"Won't you let me run down to
the bank for you" said the jeweler
catching up bis hat. ''You can

money, she hurried away to her
humble lodgings.
The following afternoon was
: even more clustering and stormy ::
the wind roared and The sleet beat
and tink}ed against the windows of
the little room in which Pansie and
her father sat. Severe misforjunes
and rcvcrscs hal reduced them to

invalid, all the care fell upon
Pan ;ies slender shoulders. She
sat busy with her sewing, while her
father read aloud from q new book.

some Of the money received for her
Jewels. Her sweet face was wan
and sad, and the future stretched
before her hopeless and gloomy in
all its aspects.
There was ring at the door, tie
servant brought up 4 package for
Miss E'ontenay. An exquisite bunch
of pansies, fragrant and golden hear
ted, done up in tissue paper, and
attached to them card bearing the
simple words, "Ross Dunbar has
not forgotten little Pansic."
Pansie sat amazed for moment,
and then a rich bloom drifted up to
her white cheeks.

found Ross at last.
An instant later Ross was in the
room: clasping her huttcling hand
in his, AMI looking into her blue
eyes with a glance thai brought the
rosy bushes to her face.
And a few weeks later, when the
clustering winds were over, and
the blue birds sang in the hedges,
and the golden-healted pansies
bloomed on the garden borders,
little Pansie became Ross Dunbars S

gave her back her string of emer-
aids.

PANSIE's EMERALDs.

One wintry afternoon in January,
up in the black attic of wretched
tenement house, a pale, sad-eyed
woman sat sewing. The garment
upon which she Was engaged was
very rich and costly, being hand,
some party dress. The twilight
closed in rapidly, with a binding
= fall of snow, and bitter, wailing
blast, that made the windows rattle
in the easements. Still the sal
faced woman stitched On.
Mother" piped a slender voice
beneath the window, shall you get
the fine dress done? O mother, I'm
SO hungry; if I could only have
some tea and a bit of sausage
The mother worked steadily on
for a few minutes, pausing only to
brush q tear from her white cheek,
and then she arose and shook out
the glittering robe.
IT'S done at last, she said now
mothers poor little girl can have
some supper. Only be patient a
little longer, Flora. Ross. Ross,
where are you boy?"
A manly little fellow came out
from the bed room beyond.
The fine dress is done Ross,
said his mother, ''and you must
run home with it as fast as you
can. Miss Garcia will be out of
patience, 7 know. Tell her I could
not finish it one moment sooner,
and asked her to give you the mo-
ney. We must have it tonight.
And you can step in at Mr. Rays
as you come back and buy some
coal, and we must have some bread
and tea, and g mite of butter, and
you must get sausage, Ross, for
poor little Flora
I'll get 'em all, mother" he said,
and be back in no time. You shall
have big sausage, little SIS" he
added, turning toward the cot.
The little girl nodded her curly
head, and her great, wistful eyes
sparkled with delight.
"And you shall have half of it,
Ross" she piped in her slender bird
voice.
Hadn't you better put on your
, thick jacket, my boy?" continued his
mother; the wind cuts ike q
knife"
':Pshaw little mother! L don t
mind the wind" And awayhe went,
down the cresakinG;; fight of stairs
and out into the storm.
In her splendid mansion on Fifth
Avenue, Miss Garcia Fontenay was
in 8 perfect furor of impatience and
anger. Her dear five hundred
friends were assembling in the
halls below, and her handsome
nsess had not come home, What
caa that beggar woman mean by

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 2o.-The project for
new building for the accommodation Of tho
Congressional Library will be pushed with groat
energy at the ne1t session, and It will bo opposed
with the greatest vigor by those WHO are in favor
Of building IN addition to the present facilities
In tho Capitol Building. These lattor
propose to extond the cast trout Of
the Capitol Bome 400 fees, which will
give facilities for tho arrangement and storage
OF books that will last, Librarian spof1ord says
about twenty yeara at tho present rate OF lu-
crease. The cost will be between $4,000, 600 and
s3000,000. The proposition for separate
building contemplatoa tho erection Of Bnch q
structure On Judiciary Square. which IL much
nearer the centra Of population than tue Capitol,
anu consequently much moro convenient for tue
maeBes. This Is 70 cost not moro than IS, 900 000
and will serve tho purpose, aocordinG to hlr.
Spofforda estimates, for about 1U0 years before
any wings or additions will need to be made. It
ia not proposed Ii separate building ia con-
ntructod, to romoye tie eutire library from tie
Capitol, where about 50, 900 volumes. moHt likoly

some sort must DO made soon, as tho present
facilities arc inadequate, and the lack Of room ia

GENERAL FOSTER, one Of the leading

Western Farmer that he "would give
81 900 this year If any one would save him
from the ravages Of insects" His acreage

nuaily inflicted by these pests amounts to
many millions of dollars, and it seems
strange that so little attention should here.
tofore have been paid by our farmers to
a matter Of such great Importance. One
OF the most economical and effective
means of preventing this wholesale de.
struction would probably be found In the

Kitchen, and there was soon another
blazing in the sitting-room.
Mr.. Wilson'S first care was to attend to
jamie. he was accustomed to prescribe
Tor his children when they were i'll, and
he had medicine in the house. Soon he
was seated, with Will on his knee and
Beckie close beside and leaning against
him, the fire burning brightly, while she
told her story.
He pressed her close to him, kissed her,
patted her head, and called her heroic
little mother. Oh. how proud she was I!
Then he told her how he and Jack had
been caught in the storm. They had lost
the road and were unable to tell where
they were, but kept on, on for their lives;
at last he became so exhausted and cold
the reins dropped from his hands, and he
fell to the bottom of the sleigh. Then
Jack, who was warmly wrapped in an
extra bear robe. seized the reins and
drove, they could not tell whittier. Night
began to come on. After time they
heard some one calling, and, answering,
found they had approached dwelling,
the owner of which, lantern in hand, had
come out to unloose his dog, and had
heard Crumpies' bell, which was tied on
one Of the horses.
They were taken into the house. Mr..
Wilson was so exhausted he had to be
put to bed. Upon inquiry they discov-
cred that instead of being near H, as
they supposed, they were not half way
there; they had been going round and
round in circle.
The next morning they were appalled,
at the extent of the storm. Troubled and
anxious concerning his children, Mr.. Viii.
son had in vain endeavored TO get help TO
go to their assistance. There was no one
there to help him; and the day was spent
in digging their way to the barns and
outhouses, relieving the cattle and pro-
curing iuel. The day after, they sue.
ceeded in putting together something that
answered as a snow pillow, and accom-
panied by Mr.. Staines and his son, at whose
house they had been sheltered, and joined
by others whose homes they passed, had
made all haste possible to the children's
assistance. They were obliged to stop
one night, but had started again at day
light next morning. Calling at Mr.. Giles
he had learned that Joe and Aunt
Lizzie had started, but, affrighted at the
storm, had turned back. Then his
anxiety was increased; for he knew, from
the out-ofthe-way situation of the house
there was scarcely probability of any
aid but his reaching them.
" / feared to find you all dead; and bu,
for you, little mother" it would have
been So"
A few days afterward, when Jack
reached home, he gave an account OF the
suffering and loss of life which the storm
had caused.
