Bound to Keep Pc.

There are hardware men in Detroit
who keep cook-stove at the store door
as sign, and that the stove may not be
injured by rust they paint it over. The
otner day one Of them who had a stove
with red legs, white covers and blue
top, secured an old farmer for customer.
The farmer stipulated for stove siust
like that,o and ordered it sent home by
the team of a neiyhbor. A stove of thu
size and pattern was selected and sent
away in good shape, and all was lovely
until the next day. Then the farmer
and his wife came in with their own team
having the stove in the wagon. The hus-
band held the lines while the wife enter
ed the store and remarked:
when we buy certain kind of stove.
we don't like to be put of with another y
"Why, madam, isn't that stove all
rlght?" asked the man that sold it,
No, sir, it isn't! 7ou sold my old man
stove with red legs and white covers
and blue border around the top, and
that one ortln the wagon is nothing but a
scrub looking old black stove %
Why-why-" he tried to explain
but she waved him round and declared

She reached him a worn old book.
which he took, and from it read aloud:
"'Come unto me, all We that are weary
and heavy laden, and I will give you
rest
That's the pass over our road, ma'am.
Are you ready2"
The light died away, and darkness fell
IN its place. My hand touched the stroke
OF one. Simons awoke with a starl, and
snatchod bis lantern. The whistle sound
ed down-brakes; the train was due. He
ran to the corner, and shook the old wo-
man.
: Wake up, marin; It's train time.'
But she never needed. He gave one
look at the white set face, and, dropping
his lantern, fled.
The up-train halted, the conductor
shouted all aboard, but no one stirred
that way.
The next morning, when the ticket
agent came, he found her ''frozen to DEATH
They whispered among themselves, and
the coroner made out the verdict ''Arop-
lexy,' and it was in some way hushed
up"
They laid her out in the depot, and ad-
yertised for her friends, but no one came.
SO, after the seconed day, they buried
her.
The last look on that sweet old face,
lit up with a smile 50 unearthly, I keep
with me yet: and when think of the oc-
currence of that night, know she went
out on the other train, that never stopped
at the poor-housc.
