the duty was discharged
While engaged in ihis work he made
the acquaintance of gentleman who
owned an extensive cattle ranch in south
ern Texas. That acquaintance inspired
confidence, and, years after, when the
Eexas gentleman decided to sell his ranch.
he placed 1t in the hands of the man who
"never drank, and during the last month
he has effected the sale of the ranch of
two hundred thousand acres of land and
several thousand head of cattle for an
even million dollars; out of this he gets a
commission that will be snug fortune

bought it will enter largely upon packing
beef for foreign markets, slaughtering
their meat on their ranch from their own
herds. The superintendent of their

goes in few days to his new field of
labor. This takes from Chicago one of

but it gives one to Texas who will always

For GRANDMA. A bit of girl, not
more than eight years old, wearing n
faded old hat and her calico apron full of
rents and holes, entered the post office
yesterday with an unstamped letter in
her hand and said to the first person she
met:
"Say, I've writ long letter to my
grandma, and want to know if this is the
place to leave tP"
"Yes, this is the place." he answered
"but you must put a stamp on it,
" Won't they carry a little girls letter
to her grandma for nothing?" she asked
~ guess not.'

I'm awful sorry, for l told her | had Il

and that ma was awful SICK and that the

ATTRACTIVE HoMEs.-There is use in
beauty. 1t makes home attractive, its
exterior more respectable, our lives hap
pier. our disposition sweeter, and our
social and domestic intercourse more
refined. By all means plant some little
thing of grace to temper the rugged
surroundings of the front yard. Its silent,
though eloquent language will speak to
the visitor or passer-by word of eulogy
for you. The least flower or shrub will
be some attraction; curved path winding
between the trees to the house, a mound
of stones and shells. with ivy trailing over
them, the lowering shrub or the turf o.
fern. all such things are attractive, ant
form a pleasing object for the eye OF ever
the most Indifferent beholder.

An ink blot on pure white surface
will attract more attention than whole
bucketful of black paint poured over a
piece of black cloth. Thus it is with a
pure character. One little sin will make
it foul and black, while black character
cannot he made blacker by all the sins in
the decalogue.

How TO TREAT CRACKERs.-Crackers
should be kept in close tin box, and, if
possible, in a dry place. Even thus kept,
however, they soon acquire rather stale
taste, which may be entirely rectifed by
putting them into Il moderately heated
oven, and letting them remain long
enough to brown and become crisp. They
will taste as if just baked, and are especi-
ally grateful to the palate of IN invalid if
thus restored to their normal condition.

LABOR REwARDED.--The saying that
"where there's will there's way" Is so,
at least in the following case : Mr.. Schanck
Abbott, of Solebury, early in the season, per-
mitted an employee of his to have control of a
piece of very wet ground in his apple orchard
the said ground being deemed entirely beyond
cultivation. The employee dug deep trenches
and planted potatoes in small patches, and
trusted to Providence for a crop. He now
has an abundant yield of the largest potatoes
in that vicinity.
