Little Brothers.

No doubt it is beautiful thing, IN the
abstract, to have some little brothers.
just as most theories are beautiful
but when we come right down to actual
life little brothers are a pest-to grown

they obey the Scripture recommenda

hiding it under.a bushel What knowl

subject, and some day, when her favoritC

will be sure to tell him about it

under control, little brother will speak

the parish is making his monthly visit

HEPZIBAH's TURKEYS.
A story of Thanksgiving Day.
CHAPTER I.

INTRODUCTORY.
1T Is all sixteen years ago Had the lives
of the turkeys been spared as they were not
they would all now be sweet seventeen. They
might have rivaled in size the siXty-pound
turkeys which Josselyn saw here two hundred
years ago.
But their lives were not spared.
The first heard Of the turkeys was as
came down from the pulpit on the Sunday
morning before Thanksgiving. Miss Maria
Jennings had worked her way to the neigh
borhood of the pulpit stairs, and beckoned
me- joined her.

"Of course do" said i; " the girl with

it would be a nice thing to suggest
to the other girls, who have not the
slightest idea of what hardship is (as how

can be amiss when simpleness and duty ten
der it,"
Miss Maria laughed and went her ways;
and, when the Bible-class gathered, she pro.
posed her little plan to those of the girls who
came in before Hepsibah Brown did, and
bade them propose it TO those who came in
after her They were all pleased with the
proposal, and as Monday and Tuesday passed
they brought round to Miss Maria more
money for their contributions to the turkey
than She really knew well what to do with.

me so. But she said she had bought hel
turkey and had ordered home with him
squashes and apples and cranberries and

were useless without sugar and pies

twenty pounds Of sugar and five of cheese
She had little money left, and she was going

VictOrla's Gardens.

Col. Forney writes to the Philadel-
phia Press 1.-THE royal gardens near
Frogmore are thirty acres in extent, and
inClOsed with a wall twelve feet in
height. 1t is a magnificent spot with its
grand collection of plants and flowers.
There are two splendid apartments for
the use of the Queen, out of which she
proceeds to the conservatories, which
cover a total range of glass of 920 feet.
There is winery 102 feet long, two peach
houses 90 feet long, and pits for forcing
melons, cucumbers and asparagus, heat
ed with hot water. These gardens are
considered to be the completest of any
on earth, and are surrounded with
/, 800 acres of. magnificent scenery, and
stocked with several thousand fallow
deer. 'Yonder,' said our guide, is the
Long Walk, nearly three miles in extent,
shaded all the way by double row of
ancient elms, delightful promenade.
1t was planted in the year 1860, and
among its other advantages is saline
spring of great effect in chronic diseases.
In the southeastern direction you will
perceive a lodge, which was for a long
time the residence of George w. 1t
was taken down by command of that
King, with the exception of the gothic
dining-hall where at present occasional
royal fetes are held. AT the back of the
lodge you will see large building called
Cumberland Lodge, formerly the seat of
William, Duke Of Cumberland, uncle to
George ~ The Queens hunters are
kept in the adjoining premises. Near
Cumberland Lodge are the schools, fin.
ished in 1S45 by the Queen, for the edu.
cation of the children of the employees
on the royal domain. There, on the
other side of Cumberland Lodge, is the
broad approach to the celebrated lake
called Virginia Water, of which you
have heard so much, surrounded by d
succession of delightful views, increased
by artificial aid. 1t is about seven miles
In circumference, one mile and half in
length, and in width one-third of mile
and is one of the largest artificial sheets
of water in England" so

THANKSGIVING DAY.

TuE happy day has come again,

When at the old, familiar home
Loved faces reappear.
Here gray-haired grandpa sits enthroned
The sovereign Of the dayi
While all proclaim with one accord
His undisputed swayl
No blithor spirit moves the game
Nor stirE to ready mirih
The lrOliC-lOving boys and girls
Who gather round the hearth,
And listen TO the olden tales
Which children love 40 we'll,
And every grandpa IN the land
AS dearly loves to tell
Dear grandma's hands are quite too full
AS hostess of the day
To join in grandpa's laughing tales
And merry freaks of play.
Her placid face il full of love
And gratitude and peace,
Once more to meet them all before
Her ministrations cease.
And so, with merry games and tales,
The hours pass swiftly on.

Obey the welcome sound
And gather round the table where
Thanksgiving joys abound!
Oh, worthy scions of our racel

From puritaniC folds
And think that still some jealous hearts
The nineteenth century folds!

Performing Every Operation in Good
Season.

There is proper time to do almost
everything Yet many persons are at
the very rear end of everything they at
tempt to perform They arc always be-
hind in seed time, and are at the rear in
every respect during the period of hay
ing and harvest. They rise early and
retire late at night; yet they are forever
behindhand There seems to be sor-
rowful lack of judicious planning and
executive ability in all their operations.
Hence they are always in a fretting
sweat. Without proper planning one
may rise at the dawn of day and work
hard till the mystic revolutions of the
earth darken his vision and shut off from
him the light of heaven; he may sow
with diligence and reap with care, but
unless his work is done in proper time
and in a proper way, guided by the in
tluence of II well-trained, intelligent and
disciplined mind, that work will all be in
vain. Now, then, if you have corn to
husk, take your breakfast in the morn
ing mot at midday, march lively to the
field and apply yourself resolutely to
husking until noon. Do one thing ut a
time, and perform the task thoroughly
Train yourself to engage resolutely in a
job and stick to it until the task is COM
pleted. Then take up something else

A NEGRO of Baltimore has had warn
ing which, if it does not turn him from
some OF the errors of his way, ought at
least to convey a wholesome lesson to
others. He had been indulgingin strong
drinks to excess and was enjoying II
cheerful attack of delirium tremens.
One morning he got out of bed and
ascended to the roof to take an air-bath.
Then he was seized with the delusion
that the people in the street were trying
to shoot him. To escape from them he
jumped from house to house and ran
along the combs of the roofs until the
row of houses came to an end. He then
dropped himself down chimney out of
the range of imaginary guns. He slid
down the chimney until he became firm
ly wedged above stove-pipe hole, and
in that stove u fire had just been built to
cook breakfast, The negro now became
impressed with the idea that he had
reached the Internal regions at last, and
howled accordingly, 1t was necessary
to chop hole in the chimney to release
him.

1 ask you to make out this little monthly
statement of xpenses-including your share
of two dollars a week rent--because the cal
culation of these figures, arranged in differ
ent ways, took up most Of the waking hours
of Hepzibah Brown, when she lay awake
at all.
For Hepzibah Brown herself, she tried hard

so did Miss Maria. She sometimes indulged
herself in tickets to course of Lowell lee

"Correlation Of Forces" She could get the
tickets by standing in the street in queue
of half mile, ON her way home from
Jairus Hotchkiss'. And in the evening, at
the lectures, she saw the people. As she
said herself, IL saved gas and coal from seven
o'clock till nine. 1t was true that the old
lady could no see the experiments or the

CHAPTER II.
THE TURKEYS ARRIvI


Hepzibah Brown was most briefly described,
as the reader has seen, "as the girl who had
the blind mother" Her mother had lost her
sight long, long before l knew anything
about either Of them; nor do know how she
lost it. l first found them living in two
rooms, of which Hepzibah had to pay the
rent weekly, and for which she provided the
ways and means by the most difficult

called. She occasionally contracted to take
in babies by the month, in which case she
invariably spent on their milk much more
than ala the money paid to her; and in sharp
strain she took insslop-worli to sew upon. But
we all knew that tintHt Wupe indeed hart.Yhen

For her mother there were several sources
of revenue which required nursing and tending

was the monthly payment of one dollar and

Jairus Hotchl1ss. You had to go for this
money at quarter before eleven on the second

il made it necessary for the old lady TO stay in
Boston through all the summer, for
fear she should lose her residence
