raking together the Goals upon the hearth.
All the household goods, packed and Ia
beled, stood ready TO depart in the vain
scoted kitchen, while Ruth sat on the old
settle with her hands idly folded over each
other.
cit is Thanksgiving Day tomorrow"
she said bitterly, "and what have | to be
thankful for? Last year we had dance
in the kitchen here and l could balance
and polka with the best"
''Do you recall the day I.came here
the early spring day." asked Elkanah,
sitting down beside her on the settle and
taking her hand in his broad palrl. The
thing was so strange on his part that Ruth
drew it away quickly and turned her
head aside.
"Aye, / remember well enough" If
this man was going to take pity upon her
she would show him that even a cripple
had some pride, some spirit; and yet there
had been something in the touch of his
warm hand that renewed the bloom OF
Thanksgiving weather. She was almost
sorry she had drawn her hand away but
could not give it back.
"And do you mind what answer made
when you asked why left Ridge Farm P"
not needing her rebuff, but leaning nearer
and winding vagabond curl about an
audacious brown finger.
YES" she said, twisting the curl into
the net that confined her hair to-day
Eyes, you said you left Ridge Farm be-
cause you wished to earn more, or words
to that effect, not worth remembering;
for she was angry with herself because
she remembered them so faithfully.
"And can you guess what it was
wished to earn? Can you? Come, here's
new conundrum Look me in the face,
Ruth, while I tell you the answer. How
long was it, Jacob served for Rachel?
came here to earn your love, Ruth. Put
your hand in mine, child, if | have not
failed, and let us be thankful together"
And, truth to tell, the truant hand crept
shyly back and nestled into his.
land now, you see, sir" laughed Ruth
on Thanksgiving morning, as they left
Greenside together, with the bells pealing
across the frosty air, and drove toward
Elkanah's home, where he had sent word
for parson to meet HIM" now, you see,
I shall never marry the master of Ridge
Farm and make all the girls envious.
Who knows"-with touch of her old
mischief" but might have done better
for myself and my crutch?'
"Who knows, indeed?" answered Ell
kanah; and when, after a half a days
journey, he drew up before farmhouse
and called for man to take his horse,
and said Welcome home, Ruth" bend
ing to kiss hermouth, Ruth exclaimed:
"What, here? Why, passed by here
six years ago with Uncle Isaac, coming
home from Aunt Esther's funeral, and he
said it was the Ridge Farm"
cit is the Ridge Farm" he assured
her, "and I am its master, Ruth. They
told me you'd jilt even an angel in dis
guise, but | can swear that you treat a
man better. When [ saw you at the fair
last year I made bold to fall in love with
you. Forgive me the part played, dear
the end sanctiies the means in this case,
at least. Come, sweetheart, Parson Wei
fare is waiting for u.s."
And so Guy Elkanah took Ruth Ellen
for his welded wife, and it was Thanks

hunted or collected for any economical
purpose whatever; second, the products
derived from the various species, both in
their crude and their applied or manufact-
uring condition; third, the apparatus or

its character the Smithsonian Institution
invites donations Of the aforementioned
objects from manufacturers and dealers,
and communications concerning them,

THE Anammites are the natives of
Anam, or Cochin China. tits well known
that some of the Chinese are accustomed
to allow their finger-nails to grow without
trimming 1t is thought to be an indica-
ton of opulent ease, According to M.
Harvey, French traveller, the Anam-
mites of the Weather classes carry this
custom to an extreme. In one case the
nails were about seven inches long, but III
the extreme case he found them over one
and one-half feet in length. 1t is well
known that when nails are allowed to
grow they become thickened and curve
like jaws. In many cases observed by
this gentleman they were not thickened,
br undulating, and describing remark
allie curves. Sometimes they present
quite fantastic arrangements. As they
are quite fragile, great variety of sheaths
and other projections for them have been
invented. Every movement of the hand
must endanger these singular ornaments

give up the use of his hands. We talk of
fashions being oppressive and tyrannical

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

A LONDON correspondent says that the
Prince of Wales left England in very low
spirits, and impressed with the idea that
he should never return alive.
DETAILED reports of the so-called battle
of Makhram, which put an end to the
Khanate of Khokand, have come in at
last. There was no battle at all, the enc
my running away at the first approach OF
the Russians.
THE royal family of England is said to
toria dislikes the Ritualists, ard delights
in a simple form of worship. The Prince
of Wales, on the contrary, enjoys the
forms of the church whenever he attends,
which is seldom. His eldest sister is a
Lutheran The Marquis of Lorne is q
Presbyterian. The Duchess of Edinburgh
is Greek Catholic and her husband is a
Low Church Episcopalian.
AT conference of Latter Day Saints,
held in Sheffield, at which ten elders
from Utah were present, an apostle assert
ed that he was divinely inspired. An
elderly man in the audience hereupon
arose and said if the speaker were in
spired he would be glad if he would lay
hands upon his wife and cure her
from rheumatism. Great confusion en-
sued, and the apostles laid hands on the
applicant and pitched him into the street.
A ROCHELLE (France) dispatch of a
recent date says bottle had been picked
up there containing the announcement
that the crew of the British ship Tennie
had mutinied on the 31st of October and
murdered the Captain, mate and boat
swain The vessel was subsequently
overhauled off Yarmouth, England, and
only boy and five men found on board.
A boat load of Greeks, supposed to be
the mutineers, put off from the vessel on
the evening preceding.
ENGLISH physicians are in the habit of
sending patients to Italy to get the benefit
of the climate and drink asses milk. In
order to insure the purity of the milk the
asses are ordered each day to the patients
door, where the milking is done under
his own eye or that of servant or
friend. A traveller, writing of this Gus
tom, says that the ass-milkers in the
Italian towns usually carry bladder OF
lukewarm water under their cloaks, kept
up to the heat of the body under the arm
pits, of the contents of which they furtive-
ly infuse portion into the several milk
Jugs in the face of the domestics, who
never suspect the trick. Thus are poor
patients, when given up by the faculty
and sent to languish under an Italian sun,
and die, turned over to the tender mercies
of tricksters, generally the associates or
creatures Of cheating hotel-keepers.

AN anomalous and remarkable change
is known to take place in the heating and
cooling of iron wire-a phenomenon
which has been variously accounted Tor
by chemists and metallurgists. While
the iron is first heating there is sudden
contraction or cooling; and SO again,
when the heat is cut off, the wire .cools a
little and then suddenly reheats and glows,
afterward quietly passing down to black
ness. Some recent researches in this di-
rection explain the notable points in the
jerks or changes on the ground that the
iron in the first instance loses its magnet
ism and in the last jerk or oscillation re-
gains it.
