An idea dawned upon Kate, who was still
waiting, Micawber-like, and she made rustic
baskets and filed them with all curious and
lovely growing things to be found in the Lit
tleton woods They sold at once, so that
she began to carry ON quite an extensive
business, and considering, in addition to the
money, the insight she acquired into growing
Nature and the delight she learned to feel in
the life Of the woods, her labors among fern
and moss were most profitable investment.
That these ladies', and they certainly did rep
resent good society in Littleton, were willing
TO dress plainly, was the best thing possible
for the classes below them-those inferior to
them in culture and less fortunate than they
as to money. Servant girls were not quite as
miserable as before il they had not gawdy
silk, and two or three sets of jewery that
their mistresses could wear clean cambric
dresses or plain wooden ones made it easy for
them also.
But even if the practical advantages gained
had been small, it was much that every one
caught and was influenced by the moving
idea-that life is not simply dressing eat
ing and adorning business, but that food and
clothes are only means to an end. And the
suggestion that such a high end and aim ex-
lists, led imperceptibly to the speculation as
to what it ought to be in individual cases, and
a more thoughtful, earnest spirit seemed to
animate the community. So the ball set roll
ing at Littleton sewing circle has gathered
and gathered, until one may safely prophesy
that it will smooth down many rough places
of ignorance and sin. aud no one can say that
it will ever stop L. h. Black IN SuRddy II

AMI king, that should call my own
This splendid ebon throne7
or by what reason or what right divine,
Can proclaim 1t miner
Only, perhaps, by right divine Of song
II may to me belong;
Only because the spreading chestnut tree
OF old was sung to me.
Well remember It in all its prime,
when in the summer time
The aniucnt foliage Of It's branches made
cavern Of cool shade.
There by the blachsmiths forge, beside the street,
Its blossoms white aud sweet
EutiCed the bees, until II seemed alive,
Aud murmured Ike hive.
And when the winds Of autumn, with shout.
Tossed its great arms about,
The shining chestnuts, bursting from the sheath,
Dropped to the ground beneath.
Aud now some fragments Of It's branches bare,
Shaped in a stately chair,
Have by my hCarthstone found home at last
Aud whisper Of the past
The Danish king could not in all his pride
Repel the ocean tide,
But. seated in this chair, can in rhyme,
Roll back the tide OF time.
I see again, "a one in vision sees,
The blossoms and the bees,
And hear the childrCu's voices shout aud call,
And the brown Chestuuts fall.
I see the smithy with It's fires agiow,
hear the bellows blow,
And the shrill hammers on the anvil beat,
And the iron white with heat!
And thus, dear children, have ye made for me
This day jubilee,
And to my more than threescore years and ten
Brought back my youth again.
The heart hath its own memory, like the mind,
And 60 II are cnshriued
The precious keepEakss, into which are wrought
The giyers loving thought.
Only your love and your remembrance could
Give life to this dead wood,
And make these branches, leaness so long,
Blossom again IN song.

times the sinking fund is perverted to-
wards paying the debts incurred through
extravaganza.
Lastly, excessive Indebtedness is like
" to seriously affect the provision Tor
public instruction. The average city
legislator is likely to look after his own
salary first, the police may come next,
after that the sewers and then that OF
public instruction, the city legislator APP
preciating the last the least, because he
has received the least benefit from 1t.
Laughter Public schools are a ma
tional blessing, but in some cities there
has been sectarian opposition to them,
fostered by reckless extravaganza IN
other departments. City libaries, too,
are likely to suffer, and thus the means
which fit people for governing are taken
away from them. The city that stands
clear OF these faults will reap the ad van
tage. But what excuse can a state have
for giving the power to city to bring
on it such calamities and on the state
such great dishonor?

Kenna and Walker.

Fayettc Enterprise.
Our sheriff was recently making his
usual tax collecting tours through the
county, when he CHANGED to meet "A
man and brother" driving team OF
very fine mules. Just as the Sheriff
was about to pass him, the darkcy shout
cd to the mules: ,
"Git up dar, Kenna! Wat you doin'
Walker?' Gelang, boie o We.
Being struck by the familiar sound OF
those names, the Sheriff stopped and
sirnalcd SambO to do the same.
"You have got a fine team OF mules
there. boy" said the Sheriff.
.You bet yer bottom dollar on dat,
boss" replied the driver, patting the
lead mule afIcctionately.
"You have got singular names TOR
them" said the Sheriff. "Why do
YOU call one Kenna and the other
Walker"
"Wen, you see dis ere mule right
heah. boss? Dis is de bcstest animile
oh de kind in dis Congeshnal destrlc'.
You can bet yo' money on him all de
time. You know jes' whar to fin, him
in pinch; he never goes back on
his frien's. | calls him kenna, kase
ne true blue, he is, said the dark son
of toll.
as not the other mule-the one you
call Walker-a good animal to work?
asked the Sheriff.
Eyes sab; dat's no bad piece OF mule
meat-he amt. Pull jes' as much as
Kenna - whoa dar, Walker What
YOU up to, now? Now, jes' see him;
OATS ali wat ails dat mule, boss. You
never kin tell which end OF dat animile
to put de bride ON, he swaps ends so
quick; dat's watts de matter wild Walk
er: dat's his only fault, boss"
Being fully satisfied, the Sheriff rode
on, convinced that the darkey was pre-
pairing himself, by a thorough course
in politics, to run for Mayor OF the Capt.
tai city.
