GRACE GREENWOOD AT HOME.

Lucy Stone visited Grace Greenwood at
her home in Colorado, which she says is ga
neat brick house, covered all over with
vines the door-yard was green with grass,
soft annd fresh as that on Boston Common
in june Thrifty apple and cherry trees
grew by the back fence, Willie elm and cot
tonwood trees were all along her sidewalk.
Grape vines and strawberries in abundance
were in their appropriate places, while flow
ers, rare and beautiful, filed every available
place. This yine-covered and shaded house
has, in its cozy parlor, a fine library of
standard books, well bound and setin a
handsome bookcase. There is a piano and
violin; engravings and paintings are on the
walls, around which the climbing fern and
many another wildwood growth twines in.
and out. The bay window on one side, and
the broad .mullioned window ON the other,
attract the passer by the bright. flowers in
one and the green and growing plants in the
other. Yhc-neat dining room holds its share
Of plants, and the coy living room with its
open fireplace, looks out over a great wealth
Of color from choice plants which fill all the
space in view. Order, neatness and comfort
are everywhere. The mistress and owner
Of this. house, whose artistic touches are
everywhere, not only makes this hospitable
homea thing of beauty and of comfort, but
strong, sensible, executive and consecutive,
she carries on q large, profitable business,
and helps to organize and arrange all the
suffrage work for this State"

A w1FE's WONDERFUL EcoNoMY.

We had been out to the graveyard to bury
Mas. Pidgeon, and we were riding home
with the bereaved widower. While he sop
ped his eyes with his handkerchief, he told
us about her:
'sIn one respect | never saw her equal.
She was a manager. I've knowed the Wo-
man that's lying out there in the tomb to
take an old pair Of my trousers and cut
them up for the boys. She'd make & SPLEEN
did suit of clothes for both of them out of
them old pants, get out stuff enough for a
coat for the baby and a cap for Johnny. and
have some left over for a rag carpet, besides
making handkerchiets out of the pockets
and a hustle for herself out of the other lin
lngs. Give her any old garment and it was
as good as a gold mine. Why, she'd take a
WORKOUT sock and make a brand new over
coat out of it, I believe. She had a turn for
that kind Of economy, There's one OF my
shirts that I bought in 1S47 still going about
making itself useful as winder curtains and
pantolettes, and plenty OF other things. On
ly last July our gridiron gave out, and she
took it apart, and in two hours it was rig

ged as a splendid lightning-rod, all except
what she made into a poker and an ice-pick.
Ingenious? Why, she kept our family in
buttons and whistles out OF the ham bones
she saved, and she made IL princely chicken
coops from her old hoop-skirts, and a pig
pen out of her used-llp corset bones. She
never wasted a solitary thing. Let a cat
die around our house, and the first thing
you knew Mary Jane'd have a muff and a
set of furs, and I'd begin to find mince pies
on the dinner table. She'd stuff a feather
bed with the feathers that she got OFT of one
little bit of a rooster, and she'd even utilize
the reaches in the kitchen SO they'd run the
churn-bad a machine she invented for the
purpose. I've seen her cook potato parings

THE HON CIRCLE.
THE WIFE.

1t needs no guilt to break q husbands
heart. The absence of content, the mutter-
ings of spleen, the forbidding scoWl and de-
serted hearth-these. and other nameless
neglects, without a crime among them, have
narrowed to the quick the hearts core OF
many a man, and planted there, beyond the
reach of cure, the germ Of dark despair. Q,
may woman, before that sight arrives, dwell
on the recollections Of her youth, and cher
i>hing the dear idea OF that %tuneful time,
awaken and keep alive the promise she SO
kindly gave. And though she may be injur-
ed, not the injuring one-the forgotten, and
not the forgetting wife-a happy illusion to
the hour of peaceful loye-a kindly welcome
TO a comfortable home-a smile Of love to

ever locked itself within the breast Of selfish

WHY HE WEPT,

A man about twenty-five years OF age, and
a stranger in the city, yesterday sat in the
doorway OF a tenantless house on Elm street
and wept. A pedestrian, astonished at the
sight OF a MAJ in tears, halted and inquired
=" What's the MATERNITY do you weep"'
"Tlley beat me out of all my money in q
saloon down here a piece" was the reply.
- policeman told me not to go in there,
but | would So"

"Yes but | hain't crying cause I lost

that perhaps I hain't the biggest ass ever
lived! 1t hurts me to come almost to it and

The gentleman tried to convince him that
he was the biggest Ass known to the sacred
or secular history of the world, but the

TIE NERyELEsS MORTAL.

A perfectly impassive, e~motionless man or
woman is a rarity; still, such do exist, and
we hardly know wether to regard them as
objects of envy or pity. Those without em-
otion, those who do not suffer at times from
oyer-sensitiveness or excitement, are like
rocks or trees; the winds of adversely may
blow, a deluge Of affection may cover them;
they remain calm and happy, the sleep is
sound, the appetite unimpaired. Such are
certeinly enviable conditions, but the law Of
compensation is not annulled for benefit OF
these favored ones. Wherever we find them,
we may be sure that we meet those devoid
of the finer and more delicate instinct OF hui
man nature,-those who are incapable of en-
loving the beautiful things in the natural
world or in art. They suffer less in tie
journey of life, but they also enjoy less.
Like animated statues they live, without
strong friendship or affections, without pity.
without generosity; and ncryeless they die,

FAVORS.

LII the following advice, which we find in
an exchange, we think the writer consider
ably strains his point, and yet there are sug-
gestions which few can ponder without
profit:
IF you want to be happy, never ask a
favor. Give as many rs you can, and if any
are freely offered, il is not necessary to be
too proud to take them; but never ask for
or stand waiting for any. Who ever asked
a favor at the right time? To be refused is a
Woetul stab to ones pride. 1t is even worse
than TO have a. favor granted h~esitatingly.
We suppose thatout of hundred who petit
ton for the least thing-if it be even an hour
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wish, with burning
cheeks and aching hearts. they had not done
so. Don't ask fayors Of your nearest friend.
DO everything for yourself until you drop,
and II anyone picks you up, let it be Of their
own free choice, not from any groan you
utter. But while you can stand. be a soldier.
Eat your own crust, rather than feast on an
others dainty meals; drink cold water rath-
er than another,s wine. The world isfull OF
people asking favors. and people tire Of grant-
ing them. Love or tenderness should never
be put aside when its full hands are stretch
ed towards you but as few love, SO few are
tender a favor asked is apt to be amillstone
around your neck, even If you gain the thing
you want by the asking. AS you cast your
bread on the water, and it returns, so will
the favor you ask, if unwillingly granted,
| oap,[, bcoJ- q, ro xrI,n,, r, loact ax-pon4 n,
desire. Favors conceded upon solicitation
are never repaid. They are more costly in
the elid than overdue usurers' bills"

A Disappointed Lover Shoots a
Widow Clerk in the Treasury,

Yesterday, about noon, the en-
ployes of the Treasury Department,
in the neighborbood of the Treasurer's
Office, were startled at the sound of
two shots in one of the Railways.
The shooting. it seems. was done by u
man named John Diltz. Walking up
to the messenger at the door of tho
Treasurer's room be asked him to
carry his card to Mrs. Mary T..
Storer, a clerk in the Redemption
Bureau. The messenger complied
with his request, and the lady made
her appearance in The hall, where
Diltz advanced to meet her, and, after
few words had passed, drew
revolver and shot at her. The first
shot missed, and be was on the point
of firing a second when his arm was
thrown up, the ball burying itself in
the doorpost close above Treasurer
Wyman's head, who was coming out
of bis ROOM Washington Union.
