a Lovers Device.

One fine winter evening, early IL the
present century, Colonel Smith and his
maiden sister, Patty, were sitting on
either side of blazing fire, enjoying
their ease, without an interruption tor
st least an hour and that, considering
the sex of Miss Patty was certainly very
remarkable. The Colonel ives cross
legged in a great arm chair, with his
spectacles onj his meerchaum in one
hand, n newspaper in the othcr-fast
asleep. Miss patty was moving herself
backward and forward III low rocking
chair. Close by her feet was the cat,
while Carlo was stretched out at full
length on the rug i'll front of the fire,
and, like hs master, was fast asleep.
At length the Colonel reused from
his nap, took off | is speci acles, and
rubbed his eyes; then, glancing at a
large pile OF papers on the table near
him, said, 81 wish Henry was here TO
help me collect my rents.''
"Well, l really wis! he was" an

yawned the Colonel.
"Hadn't you better send for him 80
suggested the sister.
Upon this, the dog got up. and
walked toward the door.
"Wkere are You going, Carlo 90 said
the old gentleman.
The dog looked at his master. wanoed
his tail, turned about, and pursued his
way towards the door; end, as he could
not well open it himself, Miss Patty got

The Colonel seemed perfectly salts
fed, and was composing himself for an
other nap, when the loud and cheerful
barking of the dog announced the an
proach of some one, and reused him
from his lethargy. Presently the door
opened and Young man gaily eEtered
the room.
"Why, William Henry, is that you?''
said Aunt Patty.
ssHenry, my boy, I am heartily glad
to see youp ~ aided the Colonel, getting
entirely out Of the chair, and giving his
nephew hearty shake of the hand.
''Pray, what has brought you home so
suddenly, my boy ?'

"There, aunt, is bottle of something

good to see you in such fine spirits!.''

Henry, either anxious to see his uncle
or himself, broke the seal from the top
of the bottle, drew the cork, while Aunt
Patty provided some glasses.

WHAr PLANT Dfb "A little plant
was given TO sick girl. In trying to
take care of it the family made changes
in their way ,ot living. First they
cleaned the window that more light
might come III to its leaves; then when
not too cold they would open the VIM
dow 50 that the fresh air might help the
plant to grow.
Next, the clean window made the
rest of the room look SO untidy that
they used to wash the floor aud walls.
and arrange the furniture more neatly.
This led the father OF the family to
fix broken chair or two, which kept
him at home several evenings.
Alter Che work was done he STAYED
home instead of spending his leisure of
a tavern, and the moneysthus saved
bought comforts for them all. And
then, as the home grew attractive. the
whole family loved it and each other
better Than ever before, and grew
healthier and happier with their flow
ers.
Thus the little pIallt brought 4 real
as well as physical blessing.
