for erecting drinking or gambling houses,) j
for period Of twenty five years, certain por-
lions Of the Court House square, is meeting
with greater opposition as the nature Of the
case becomes more generally known.

that If Tom, Dick and Harry be allowed to
erect here and there buildings of different
sizes and shapes, to be used for probably az
many different purposes. the square viii soon

many cases, on account of the uses they would
be put to, would soon become scandal and a

similar moods, as in after life they come
over US SO mysteriously sometimes. Many
q time, and oft, in the very whirl of
business; in the sunshine and gayety of
Fifth Avenue, and amid the splendor of
the drive in Central Park, some little
thing wakes up the memories of early
youth--the old mill the cool spring;
the shady tree by the school .house-and
the next instant we almost see again the
rudy cheeks, he smiling faces, and the
merry eyes Of schoolmates, some gray
headed now, most I" lie moldering in the
grave" And anon, "the song my mother
sang" springs unbidden to the lips and
soothcs and sweetens all these memo
ries.
AT other times, amid the crushing mis-
haps of business, mere ditty of the
olden time pops up Its little head, breaks
in upon the ugly train of thought, throws
the mind into another channel; light
breaks in from behind the cloud in the
sky and new courage Is given to us.

Pen had nothing to say, and IL she had
had she couldn't have said il. She
could have assisted in delicate surgical
operation with perfect calnness, because
discipline had done its work with her
But in the hands of the man she loved
she was plastic as the veriest girl. All
the difficulties in her way were smoothed
by the magic of his loving touch, and be-
fore she could realize her full happiness
she found herself his proud and cherished
wife.
There was but single point of differ.
ence between them. That was her pro-
fession. She could not feel that it was
right to wholly give it up; he could not
feel that it was right for her to continue
in it. At last they compromised In an
odd corner of their luxurious home Pen
has tiny office, where for two hours
each day she can be found ready to aid
the unfortunates who flock to her in
scores. She never practices for pay; she
seldom goes out; but she is still DR.. Pen

What did the world say to this odd
marriage? At first it was scandalized,
and made something more than nine
days wonder of it. Society was strong
ly inclined not to call upon the new Mrs.
Campbell. But PENS sweet face, grown
younger and prettier by ten years since
her marriage, is her card of admission to
any circle she chooses to honor by her
presence.
1t is believed by many that Mrs. Camp
bell senior did not in the least relish
her sons marriage. But when an &C
quaintance ventured to sympathize with
her she said, drawing herself up and
looking her grandest-she can look very
grand indeed when she chooses: "You
are seriously mistaken, madam; my
daughter-in-law is very remarkable
woman. 1t requires much more than the
ordinary mind to appreciate her."
Since which-as the elder lady takes
particular pains to be seen with the
younger upon all social occasions-no-
body has dared say that Penelope Brown,
M. D., was not as much the choice of the
mother as of the son. -Harpe,'s Bazar.

After the Funeral.

1t was just after the funeral. The be-
reaved and subdued widow enveloped in
millinery gloom was seated in the sitting
room with a few sympathixing friends.
There was that constrained look so pecul-
lar to the occasion observable on every
countenance. The widow sighed.
"How do you feel, my dears" observed
her sister.
"Oh, / don't know" said the poor
woman, with difficulty restraining her
tears. But | hope everything passed

Indeed it did," said all the ladies'

the sister, looking around upon the others.

next door. II was saying to Mr.. Slocum
only ten minutes ago that the attendance
couldn't have been better-the bad going

Ibid you see the Taylorss" asked the
widow, family, looking at her sister.
"They go 80 rarely to funerals that was
quite surprised to see them here"
"Oh, yes, the Taylors were all here"
said the sympathizing sister. % As you

suggested the bereaved woman, droop-

came in their own carriage, too" said the
sister, animatedly. "And then there
were the Randalls, and the Van Ran

cousin from the city with he. And Mrs.

eyes, indeed" said they all again, and
the lady who lived across the way OBJ
served:
"The Colonel was very sociable, and
inquired most kindly about you and the
sickness of your husband"
The widow smiled family. She was
gratifed by the interest shown by the
Colonel.
The friends now rose to GO, each bid
ding her good-by, and expressing the
hope that she would be calm. Her sister
bowed them out. When she returned
she said:
"You can see, my love, what the neigh

Il think some of the people in the
neighborhood must have been surprised
to see so many of the uptown people
here" suggested the afflicted women, try
ing to look hopeful.
"You may be quite sure of that !" as
serted the sister. II could see that plain
enough by their looks"
"Well, am glad there is no occasion
for talk" said the widow, smoothing the
skirt of her dress.
And after that the boys took the chairs
home, and the house was put in order

The roller is more valued farm i'm

The roller is more valued farm i'm.
plement than formerly. Our improved
farm machinery demands smooth sur
faces on the fields. Then farmers have
learned that better blowing can be done
with smooth surface than an uneven
one, and good blowing means easy after
tillage and clean crops. The roller is
needed on the new meadow in the spring,
on the fields of spring grain after SOW
ing, and quite likely on the planting
ground. Rolling is so simple an opera
tion that the common log-roller is about
as good as the more costly tool made OF
iron and plank. On fields that are pretty
free of stone a clod-crusher. made OF
plank fastened to scantling and over
tapping each other like clapboards on
house, answers an excellent purpose:
