But it did, and no chips to pick up
and his best suit on, Dimple was happy.
He did not go to church. Aunt Patie
remained at home to look after the din
ner, and she knew that grandma would
not keep Dlmple from falling off the seat
and talking aloud.
The minister came to dine. So did
Mary Vail anCRher mother. The little
t1axen-haired maiden looked whittier than
ever in her red-plaid dress.
"And I asked Jakey Brown; he said
they hadn't any turkey, and he never
tasted any. I guess here he is, and likely,
too," said Dimple, running to the door.
Aunt Patio frowned, but grandma
looked kindly at the shabby boy, who
came IN awkwardly, but looking so eager
and hungry.
II suppose they never did have din
ner like this she said, softly. I'VE can
make room, Patience, and you see they
are clean,
II told them to be all washed" said
Dimple IN a loud whisper. ooh, yes,
we can crowd up, and III sit by the table
leg"
SO there was place for every one, and
every one looked pleased. How the
Brown boys did eat, to be sure! They
had never had such chance before, poor
things. Finally the pies and the pud-
dings came on, and Aunt Pate said to
the minister:
"First, want you to try our pumpkin
pie, MIR. Millman. It's made after the
recipe my grandmother had, and we al
ways have it cooked in just such a dish,
and just as large''
The pie looked very nice, and Dimple
nudged Mary Vail under the table, and
smiled.
cts just as sweet!' he whispered.
MIR. Millman did not seem to enjoy his
slice; he coughed and drank some water,
so did the others, and Aunt Patie, tasting,
exclaimed:
''Why! of all things! What-why-
salerntusm
II thought twas sugar." cried DIM
pie, breaking into roar and hiding in
grandma's dress.
"Dlmple Stacy! you deserve whip
ping said his aunt, slowly.
1t certainly was Notifying thing,
with company for dinner and the pump
kin pie ruined.
"Couldn't you-say-let me be
thrashed instead? He's so little and he
asked us to Gomez said Jakey Brown.
Aunt Pate said nothing at all, and
small, red face raised itself from grand
mas lap.
''He won't do so again. said Mr.. Mill
man.
"No, Auut Pate; and don't you know
you said you'd be truly thankful when I
was cured OF mischief? I s'pose am
now" said Dimple, hopefully.
Everybody laughed and the mince pies
proved quite perfect.

DICKS THANKSGIVING.

Well, never saw such a Thanksgiving!
Why, the times are SO hard, you know,
We can't have turkey or chicken
No-nor hardly indulge in crow!
For, yesterday father was saying,
mo poultry for dinner this year,"
Then he just talked first rate to us children,
And gently called mother, my DEAR"
And he said though he'd lost all his money
And couldn't buy much that was good,
he hoped we'd be happy and thankful,
Well, row, amt it queer how things happened!
For only just one year ago.
We lived at the top, let me tell you,
And went III for splendOr and show!
And twas only last year at Thanksgiving
Our table was. gorgeous with plate,
And every conceivable dainty
That ever was longed for we ate.
But we never once thought to be thankful,
For we Jared just the same every day;
And we children were cross and complaining,
And wanted things just our own way.
And faLher-I hardly dare tell you
How angry and dreadful he grew
For he sat long at wine after dinner,
And that was the cause, we all knew.
And mother looked wretched and fearful
When we went to say our good hight,
For father was raving SO wildly
That she hurried us out of his sight.
Well, that was last year; when the crash came,
Ana fathers great fo Rne was gone:
AnC from all of his hundreds Of thousands
Not dollar was left as his own.
At first, he just broke down entirely,
But mother stood up like a man,
And encouraged, and cheered him, and helped
III tell it as loud as I can.
Let man only get into trouble
Then see what a woman will do!
How quick she'll forget her own sorrows,
And help him to carry his, too.
Well, father took heart; now we're living
In three little rooms-all us four!
But, will you believe it? We never
Were quarter SO happy before!
Every night we all kneel down together,
And father thanks God for us all
His treasures on earth"-so he calls us,
And prays that whatever befall,
we all may have treasures in Heaven,
Where naught can corrupt or Destroy
Prays for each one of us as we kneel there,
His wife and his girl and his boy.
Well, own to weakness for turkeys,
And chickens and ducks--no, not cro,os:
And really enjoy plum pudding,
And oyster and creams-and all those.
But whatever we do have at our house
Shall be seasoned with love and good cheer:
And il that doesn't make Thanksgiving
Wen try to do better next year!

DRIFTING;
By JENNIE JONES.

Drifting on LIES pleasant waters.
You and l.
Watching all the prouder vessels
Sailing by.
There are ships with treasure laden
Down the bay;
See their white sails proudly filling
Far away.
They are bearing hopes and promise
From sfar;
Some will anchor in the harbor, some grouua
On the bar.
Pirate vessels, cruising ever
In disguise,
With their wiles will capture many
rich prize.
Wrecks of many noble vessel
Strew the lea,
Bearing only freight of love;
Naught fear we.
storms are on the ocean wrecking
Many bark;
Many gallant ship goes down
In the dark.
When the storm tossed ocean pillows
Madly roar,
Then our bark so lightly laden
Keeps ne ar shore.
Drifting on when skies are brighter
You and I;
Well not envy prouder vessels
Sailing by.

TEACHINGS OF TIME.

lime to me this truth hath taught,
'Tis truth that's worth revealing;
More offend from want of thought
Than from any want of feeling.
II advice we would convey,
There's time we should convey it;
1t we've but word to say,
There's time in which to say it.
Many beauteous flower decays;
Though we tend it e'er so much,
Something secret on it plays,
Which no human aid can touch.
So, in many a loving breast,
Lies some canker grief concealed.
That, if touched, is more oppressed;
Left unto itself-is healed!
Oft, unknowingly, the tongue
Touches on chord so aching
That word, or accent wrong,
Pains the heart almost to breaking.
Time to me this truth hath taught;
Ills q truth that's worth revealing
More offend from want of thought
Than from any ant of feeling.

Morris in the lung, aud producing mortal
wound, from which he died in a few minutes

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Feb. 8.-Last night be-

Ward was broken into, and the burglars, going
to the bed OF Ward and his wife, drew reyolyers
aud threatened to shoot Mrs. Ward if she
stirred or uttered CITY. They paid no atten-
tion to Mr.. Ward, who was quiet during the
proceedings Mrs. Ward, in spite Of the threats
and reTolVers thrust in her face, sprang up, and,
running to the woodshed, got an ak, and re-
turning rushed at one OF the burglars nnd
struck him over the shoulder. The man
jumped toward her as she struck,
SO that only portion OF the blade of the Ak
touched him. While this was going on the
other burgler ran upstairs to get the money,
which was known to be In the house, and Mrs.
Ward states that her husband informed them
where it was concealed. They found under the
mattress In a he'd pocket-book, and With this
they rushed out to make their escape, which
was necessary, as considerable noise had
awakened their neigh5ors. officer O'Rrien
was soon on the spot, and arrested
shortly after one Charles Delaney,
who has since been identified as one
OF the burglars. Ward and the other burglar

Ward had that day received some $3.50, and
bid it in her bed, as she was anxious to keep it
out OF her husbands hands. He had entered
into conspiracy with these men to come as
burglars to his mouse, the front door Of which
had been left open for them. Mrs. Ward had
during the afternoon changed the place OF con-
cealmcnt, fearing that her husband had learned
where it was. which seems to have been the
case.
TIE burglar arrested had clip on the shoul-

identify him. though Mrs. Ward, on being con-
frontcd with him, at once located him as the
burglar Watchn. her while his pal was up-

obtain the money as aforesaid, and whacR up

weeks ago, being requested to produce the cash,
he acknowledged his inability to DO SO, and his
default was made known to the Directors. He
