A Sad Reality of the Hard Times.

A fOrcible illustration of the hardness
of the "hard times" was presented in
an incident which came to my notice
the other evening. 1t shows that the
general depression in business has pen
etrated even to these deep solitudes.
AS l was strolling along the edge of
paths leading off from the travelled foot
path from the lake to the house, my
attention was attracted to almost inau-
dible sounds of voices at some distance
ahead of me. The sounds became more
and more distinct as walked on, al
though the persons themselves were
invisible. l sat down on messy rock,
not caring to intrude, and yet unwill-
ing to retreat, for had reached pref
ty spot, from which fine view of the
lake was afforded by the light of the
full moon.
| was aroused from my reveries by a
low cry of "Oh, Harry, don't say so
again !" accompanied by heavy sobs,
as of some one in deep mental anguish.
There was short silence then, when a
mans voice broke it with, II cannot
deceive you, Alice; it can't be other
wise. Oh, if it wasn't for these terri
bly, cruel times! No, no, we cannot
marry this fall neither can we fix upon
any definite time now. Business must
become better. We must see our way
clear first, my darling. Besides, you
see, from what tell you, the situation
in which father is. He is at this very
moment on the verge of bankruptcy.
No, dear Alice, it cannot be Our mar
riage must be postponed
"But you know, Harry, the wedding
day is fixed for October. Our friends
and all the world beside know it. What
will they say 2" and the lady sobbed as
if her heart would break. Harry spoke
up and said: "Never mind, my dear,
what all the world and our frie ends may
say about it. We must be governed by
our own knowledge of the situation of
affairs. We have our own ills to bear.
When misfortunes fall upon us the
world" and he emphasized the word
bitterly, ''frowns upon US and precious
little it cares of what we do, or where
we go, or what becomes of us. So let
us settle it right here, and call on the
'Old man of the Mountains whose pro-
file is looking down upon us, to be a
witness of our continued faithfulness to
one another"
''It is hard, Harry, too hard. But
perhaps it may be the best. II wouldn't
have urged you to keep the appoint
ment so, but-but-" and here she burst
out again into heavy sobs. Recovering
herself little, she continued in tone
of voice SO low that it barely reached

A New York View of the Savoy Crime.
From the New York Herald. ]

From the New York Herald
Elsewhere there is told the story of
crime in rural Massachusetts " hich reads
like an episode of border life in the
Southwest. The armed desperate, the
family feud, the love entanglements,
the open assault before whOie cOngTT-
CATION, the murder, the dramatic flight
to the woods, the fury of the people
all these things are elements in a tragedy
such as we do not expect New England
to furnish us: But we may say sadly
that the whole country is land of sur
prises. In every strange crime there is
salient feature that gives it individ-
uality, and in this murder at North
Savoy the marvellous element is the
proclivity of Clara Starks to fall in love
with the most desperate villain that
came within her knowledge, and admire
him for his manifold iniquities. 1t is
one of the ISLANDERS of the old satirists
that this is propensity of the sex, and
certainly the success of the scoundrel
Blanchard among the girls in western
Massachusetts would go far to justify
the sneer. He was, as is plain from his
scutfie at the village church, a ruffian in
his manners he was a fellow without
money; he could have had little per-
sonal elegance about him, for he was a
farm labOrer; he was essentially mean
scOundrei, because he had been con-
victed of petty larceny, and he was so
disloyal in his love affairs that he
boasted of having two wives, and made
no secret of his less permanent con-
quests. What was there to make him
a favorite if not the glory of carrying a
revolver, and having kept faro bank
in Mexico? And Clara Starbs, girl
scarcely old enough to have an innocent
country beau accompany her home from
meeting, set her fathers commands at
defiance and stole away from home for
clandestine rambles with this rascal.
Her perversity cost her the loss of her
reputation and brought about the muir
der of her father, entailing, as such
perversity generally does, fearful pun
ishment. Can it be that the life of a
New England community is so monoton-
Gus, that there is such a surfeit OF
psalm-singing and Sunday school, that
the young men are so tame and solemn
in their behavior, that the girls long fol
a change, even if the devil brings it ?

UPHoLsTERING OLD CANE CHAIRS
When the cane seat of a chair is broken
it may be made as good as new, or bet
ter, by uphOlstering it at home. After
removing the superfuOus bits of cane,
cover the space with mating formed of
three-inch wide canvass betting woven
together. Tack it temporarily in places.
After placing over this some coarse
muslin, draw both smooth, and secure
at the edge with twine, making use of
the perforations. Remove the tacks,
turn the raw edge over toward the cen
tire and baste it down. Arrange the
curled hair and wool, or whatever you
propose to use for stuffing, and keep it
in position by basting over it piece of
muslin. Then carefully fit the rep, pin
it in different places until you are Ger
tain it is in perfect shape, and tack it
permanently-fOllOwing, of course, the
tracing made for the cane. Cover the

BLACKING COOKING STOVEs.-A lady
correspondent writes: Observation in
duces me to believe that many young
hOusekeepers become discouraged for
the want of proper knowledge of what
true neatness is. Many of my acquain-
tances, in various places, have been,
and are now half insane relative to the
habit of rubbing the blacking- brush
over their cooking stove every day,
throwing the dust in every direction,
and especially upon the floor, where
it cannot be removed without the use
of strong soapsuds, which Injuries the
paint, and wastes money, time and
strength. If there is any kind of USE
less, domestic work it is the unhealth-
full and unreasonable practice of black
ing cooking stoves every time a drop
of water troubles them; and the
sight to a tidy housewife or any
other tidy person, is great an
noyance. A blacking-brush should
never touch cooking-stOve hearth,
for it is convenient place to set sew
eral kinds of dishes while preparing a
meal, also tea and cOtfee-pOt. If any
black lead is there, the article cannot
be caIIied to the table without being
wiped, and a cloth may not always be
near, thereby producing delay and per-
plexity. The sides of a kitchen stove
may be kept bright with good backing,
and if little should be rubbed on the
top once week it would not be amiss !;
but generally the top and hearth should
be washed three times day, and the lat
ter be secured with nice sand, now and
then, and if well washed and kept dry
will look as it did when new. 1t should
be one of the chief studies of every
young house keeper to learn how she
can perform the most domestic labor
and do it well, and in the shortest
length of time, and with the least waste
of strength and patience for her duties
are various and yet characterized with
sameness, from week to week, which
necessarily produces both mental and
physical prOstratiOn.
