A LITTLE ARRANGE
MENT.

"IT's horrible to be so depen
dent !"
"Of course it is, Amelia but
what can we do ?"
"What other poor girls do, OF
course. There are ways enough
Teaching, for instance, or even wash
ing and scrubbing, if it comes to
that. AS for me, l am resolved not
to bear this any longer.
ooh, you are so strong, Amelia
so self-reliant. l wish l had halt
your courage. But, sister, after all, ,
l don't see why we ought to feel so.
Mamma is so very kind, and l am
sure it is not her wish to have us
leave her."
"Perhaps not. dare say she is
willing enough to play the lady
bountiful to us; but, for my part, l
am independent, and cannot brook
patronage, even at the hand of my
fathers wife" and her lip curled a
little, but trembled more, for the
memory of her father was very dear
to Amelia Orville.
Captain Orville had been dead
about year. For his second wife,
he had, about six years before his
death, married a lady, young, as
compared to himself, rich, and high
ly accomplished, She had devoted
herself to her husband and his
children with an ardor that should
have shamed michiet-m akers. She
had been, and was still, in fact, a
model stepmother, and her step
daughters, Amelia and Clemence,
were sensible Of the fact in their Sc
cret hearts: Yet both of them had
been subjected to the kind interfer-
ence of bevy of villa &c meddlers,
whose creed has this prime article,
that a stepmother can never do
right.
The affsctionate nature of Glenn
ence was not so much influenced by
the suggestions of these people as
Amelia's, which was more critical
and less susceptible.
Captain Orville had been a milli-
tary man, and very little economical
in the use of his "pay," which was
all the fortune he possessed; so
that it was no wonder his daugh-
ters should feel, after his death,
that they had no right to be depen.
dent upon their stepmother. But it
was her urgent wish that they
should remain with her {; and rather
than give her pain in the early peri
cd of her widowhood, Amelia had
consented to postpone her purpose
of earning her own bread.
But Clemence still clung to her
stepmother, in spite of Amelia's ex-
ample and the interference of the
gossips. She was very loving in her
nature, and the uniform kindness
and affection of Mrs. Orville had
won upon her; and, besides, she
was not one of those sticklers for
independence who, like Amelia, can
never be cOntented to eat bread that
is not positively there own.

Mrs. Orville, when the former had
divulged her plans, ''if you must

THERE is a great deal of luxury
displayed just now in table glass,
both for use and ornament. Center
pieces form small lakes of crystal,
the finest, thinnest, and clearest,
ranged one above another, surround
ed by flowers, and crowned with a
glass vase for flowers on the top.
A table service of glass sometimes
numbers upwards Of two hundred
pieces, and very moderate price
for complete one is five hundred
dollars; the finest, of Venetian
glass, not unfrequently cost twenty
five hundred.
The style is just now very pure,
the cost being expended upon form
and delicacy rather than cutting.
Some of the finest glass is destitute
of engraved ornament beyond the
monogram of the owner. The Greek
models are the most admired.

The ItCiliOht Hour.

No; leave the lamp unlighted,
The twilight hour is sweet,
1t brings back vanished voices,
And the sound of parted feet.
The soft grey light, so tender,
Speaks the decline of day
And recalls the memory
or friends who've passed away.
The busy cares of liic-work,
That, meet them AS we may,
MuSl Oit.times bring disquietudc,
Fade with the fading day.
And the quiet houro twilight
Suggestcth thoughts of peace,
An earnest Of that happy time
When mortal sorrows cease.

just as used to hear;

You may tell me it is fancy,-
Perhaps it may be so;
But it soothes my earth-worn spirit
This feeling Of long ago.
Sweet memories round me gather
OF gentle deeds and kind,
And oft pang Of sad regret
Will steal across my mind,
As thoughts of all | might have done
In days that now are past,
Wall in Il dirge-likc melody
The hours that flew so fast.
And soft is the visioned splendor

tleman; "the money is yours if you

Tree, and holding the grapevine
horizontally before him, placed the
center of it against the trunk. He
then wrapped the vine once around
the tree, and bringing the ends back
to him, took one in each hand. He
then loosencd the vine little and
pushed it up the tree as far as he
could reach. Now, holding tightly
to the ends, he drew himself up,
The vine, firmly bound around tho
tree by his weight, did not slip an
inch.
This was the way he had read
that the savages climbed tall trees.
When he had thus drawn himself
up, he wound his legs around the
tree and held fast until he had
loosened the vine and pushed it up
again. And so, foot by foot, he
went steadily up that tall pine tree.
1t was terribly tiresomc work, and
he stopped to rest several times, but
at last reached the branches. Grasp.
ing the lower one, he drew himself
up, dropped the grapevine, and,
seating himself on the branch, rest
ed for several minutes. Then he
climbed up to the hat, disengaged
it, and threw it down. AS the hat,
with it's beautiful blue veil, came
floating down, q tremendous cheer
arose from the people on the ground;
but fortunately, Jimmy was not
startled by it. After resting short
time, he came down the tree. He
could slip gradually down, without
any grapevine. AS soon as he
reached the ground everybody clus-
tered around him, and the elderly
gentleman who had collected the
money, handed him the twenty dol
lars.
"Now, my lad" said he, III hope
you will make q good use of this"
"You may be sure of that, sir"
said the landlord of the hotel. 'I
know Jimmy, and he'll give it to his
mother"
AS for Jimmy, he thanked the
company, and hurried away. But
not hone. Early in the summer,
his mothers only hogan animal on
which she depended for much of her
living during the winter-had died.
Jimmy knew that nothing would
please her so much as another hog,
and SO he went to Farmer Peters,
who he knew had hogs for sale, to
buy her one. About an hour before
supper time he appeared before his
mothers door, driving fine lazy
porller.
"Why, whose hog is that ?" said
she.
''It's yours, mother and l climb
ed up tree after it," said Jimmy.
When the story was told, his
mother was delighted; and all that
winter, when they had hams, and
spare-ribs, and pork and beans, and
sausages, and lard, and hogshead
cheese and scrapple, and picked
pigs feet, and all the other things
that can be made out of q fine fat
hog, Jimmy was very glad that he
had remembered how the savages
in the Pacific islands climbed the
trees.
