Little Stories.
THE OAK CLOSET.

Margaret Grey was, III some Sort,
an upper servant in the household OF
Judge Wallace. The Judge lived in
q handsome house in the suburbs OF
the little village OF Thorrdale.
Margaret was left an orphan at an
early age, and the Judge and his wife
had taken her into the house to say e
her from being thrown on the charity
of the town.
They had done their part well for
her. They had two children Of their
own-twins --- Alice and Algernon,
and Margaret had enjoyed every ad-
vantage of education in common with
the brother and sister.
As she grew older, and began to re-
aize how much she owed the Judge
and his wife, she felt q desire in some
way to make them recompense for
their kindness, and as she was an &C
tive, strong girl, she soon became
very useful about the domestic affairs
in the household. Mrs. Wallace was
4 feeble woman, and willingly resigned
the care and burden to Margaret, aud
i'll due course of time the young girl
cameto be trusted and depended on,
until, by the time she was twenty
two, she was really at the head of the
establishment. though Mrs. Wallace
still did the honors in her quiet, lady
like way, aud poured the coffee and
tea at the head of the table.
Alice had married early, and gone
to the Far West, with her husband {;
Algernon was finishing his medical
studies at a German University, and
only the Judge and Margaret, and his
wlte-besides the man and woman
servant, who had been with them for
years-were left at home.
Some unfortunate speculations,
largely indulged in when the Judge
was quite young man, had encum-
bered the old estate with a mortgage,
and this it was the Judges ambition
to discharge. He wanted to have the
place totally free and clear from debt
to his son Algernon.
The strictest economy had been
practiced for years in the house with
this end in view, and at last the Judge
held in his hand the money with
which to liquidate the claim.
1t was late one Saturday night when
he brought it home and said to his
wife, as she swung the little black
leather trunk containing it before her
eyes, "Well, Annie, at last we are to
be free from debt! There is eight
thousand dollars in that trunk, and on
Monday shall pay Jones in full, and
on Monday we will burn that abomin-
aole mortgage together, you and |,
A''n'e. 1t will be the happiest day Of
my whole life."

Away on the mountains wildand bare, away

Away from the tender Shepherds care.

And although the road be rough and steep,
go to the desert to find my sheep.
But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed;
Nor how dark was the night that the Lord
passed through,
Ere He found His sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert He heard its cry
Sick and helpless and ready to die.
Lord, whence are those blood drops all the
way
That mark ont the mountains track =
They were shed for one who had gone
astray
Ere the Shepherd could bring him back.
Lord, whence are Thy hands SO rent and

They are pierced tonight by many thorn
But all though the mountains thunder riven,
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose cry to the gate of heaven,

DlsAGREEABLE HABIrs.-There are
disagreeable habits of body - like
scowling, winking, twisting the
mouth, biting the nails, constantly
picking at something, twirling key
or tumbling at 4 chain, drumming
with the fingers, screwing and twist
ing a chair, or whatsoever you lay
your hands on. Don't do any of
these things. Learn to sit quietly
like a-gentlcman, was going to
say; but | am afraid even girls tall
into such tricks sometimes. There
are much worse habits than these, to
be sure; but we are speaking only of
those little things that are annoying
when they are persisted in.
There are habits of speech, also
such as beginning every speech with
'you see, or you know, "now,a,'
Il don't care "tell ye what "tell
ye, now" in distinct utterance, sharp,
nasal tones avoid them all. Stop
and think what you are going to say,
and then let every word drop from
your lips just as perfect as 4 new sill
yer coin. Have care about your
way of sitting and standing and walk
ing. Before you know it, you will
find that your habits have hardened in
to Il coat Of mail that you cannot get
rid of without a terrible effort

HULLEp oRN.-For three quarts
Of white, shelled corn, take three pints
common wood ashes in a sack, (an
old sack will do,) and put into gal
lon of water over 4 hot fire, After it
has boiled ten minutes, pour in the
corn and boil until the hull will slip
off between the thumb and finger.
then wash in clear, cold water until
clean, washing it with the hands or
stirring with paddle. Put onc-halt
of it over a slow fire to simmer, ire
serving the other half for the next
day, and if cold weather it will keep Il
week. always keeping 1t covered with
water. Some corn will cook in from
six to ten hours, other corn will re-
quire fifteen or eighteen hours. To
be eaten with salt and butter, or milk
and sugar, to suit the taste. The
great secret is TO get it cooked enough
without burning-cooking slowly is
