Two Brave Little Girls.

A long time ago, in the Indian coun-
try, two little girls slipped away from
the fort and went down into a hollow
to pick berries. 1t was Emmy, a girl
of z years, and Bessie, her sister, not
yet 6.
All at once the sun flashed on some
thing bright, and Emmy knew that the
pretty painted things she had seen
crawling among the bushes must DO
hostile Indians, with cleaning weapons
in their hands. She did not cry out or
in any way let them know she had seen
them. But she looked all about, saw
that some OF the creeping Indians al
ready were between her and the fort,
and went on picking berries as before.
Soon she called aloud to Bessie, with
a steady: Don't you think it's going to
ramp So they both turned and walked
toward the fort. They reached the tall
grass, and suddenly Emmy dropped 10
the ground, pulling down Bessie, too.
"What are you looking for2' asked
the little sister, in surprise,
Then Emmy whispered to Bessie, and
both of them stole silently and quickly
on hands and knees through the long
grass until they came to the road,
when they started up ran swiftly to the
fort. dashed through the entrance. and
had the gate safely closed behind them.
The girls are quite old now, but they
remember very well the day they
saved themselves, the fort which their
father commanded, and the soldiers,
and the other people in it besides. -

grown red since the day Of that Indian
massacre, smiled upon the young au-
thor kindly, and offered her warmest
congratulations; nay more, as time
went by, and the fame of Clement
Hastings increased, she promised him
her hand, for her father willingly gave
his consent when he found that Gle
ment was no longer an impecunious
Young scribbler.
Having made success, Of course
Clement Hastings writings were in
demand, and, with the aid of Boz
hemian, who had brains but no money,
he wrote several other plays that also
took well, and for which he paid the
real author enough to keep him from
starving for a few months.
With q comfortable bank account,
and a royalty" upon his plays, Gle
ment Hastings was living in fine style,
and had bought and furnished small
residence in which he was to install his
bride in another month.
Seated in his sumptuous home one
evening, making notes for new play,
the servant suddenly ushered in vsi-
tor, and with cry Of horror Clement
Hastings started back, for Horace Mer-
vyn stood before him.
Horace, believed you deadr' he
said, in hoarse voice.
$50 it would seem, Clement, from
what has occurred; but came not
here to quarrel with you. Hold! !

after my escape from long imprison-
ment among the Beloochees, stopped
over night in Southampton, and seeing
The Vagabond advertised, went to the
theatre and witnessed my play verha-
tim. with your name rs author.
$50 be it; you have reaped rich
harvest, and | will not rob you of it,
for am a rich man; but for your
treachery will punish you by taking
from you Kate Davenant, whom you
won under false pretences.
"Never! She knew that you could
not write play, or thought SO, and
you have no proof, and she will remain
true to me-" said Clement Hastings,
iiercely.
UNFORTUNATELY for you, keep a
copy of all my letters, and the Beloo-
chees did not get my copying book,
and showed to Kate just what you
had done Hold! Show no anger
to me, Hastings, for am the
wronged one; for tho ugh | give you
the play, and no one else than Kate
and myself shall know Of your treach-
cry, for all you can make ont of it you
are welcome to, you must lose her, as
this letter will show YOU" and Captain
Mervyn handed the white-faced, tremb-
ling man short note from Kate Dave
nant, severing the engagement between
them, and telling him that, for the
future, they were strangers to each
other.
Clement Hastings bowed his head in
humiliation and sorrow, for he dearly
loved Kate Davenant, and when he
raised it Horace had gone, and from
that day they never met again; for the
young officer, still suffering from his
wounds and long captivity, hal re-
signed from the army, and soon after
started to Italy for long stay abroad.
But he went not alone, for Kate
Davenant became bis wifi on the very
day that her marriage with Clement
Hastings was to have taken place; and
when they again returned to England,
the purloiner of another mans brains
had become Bohemian OF the lowest
order, and. in fact, vagabond.

FARM AND PRESIDE.


TO remove glass stopper, drop
some glycerine in the surrounding crev-
ice and after, an hour or two It will
loosen.
Provide boxes or shelves with apart
ments and place in appropriate divi-
sions, distinctly marked, all refuse
screws, nails, bolts. rivets, staples, tacks,
etc.
Nothing is better to clean silver
with than alcohol and ammonia; after
rubbing with this, take little whiten-
ing or soft cloth and polish. In this
way even frosted silver, which is so
difficult to clean, may be easily made
clear and bright.
Economical Pudding.-An excel
lent way of using stale biscuits or cakes
is to pound them fine in mortar, then
mix with them two eggs with their
weight in butter, beat all to a cream,
pour into mold and steam. This is
excellent cold with fruit, such as stewed
rrunes or apples.
The pride of the farmer should be
in his fields. In their beauty, in their
order. in their product, he should place
the qualification of his humble and hon.
orable ambition, says contemporary.
This is all very well as far as it goes,
but we would add, the pride of the
farmer should be in his wife and children
in their health and culture, mental
and social. A farmer with family of
seven, eight or ten children, we'll bred
and trained up, has something to be
proud of, and what should crafty an
honorable ambition.
TO Cook Onions with Cream.-Boil
the onions in boiling sailed water, with
little milk added, until tender; drain
and put them into a stewpan, with a
white sauce; let them simmer a few
minutes. Serve with the sauce poured
over the onions. Make the white sauce
as follows: Put butter the size of an egg
into the saucepan, and when it bubbles
stir in .scant half teacupful of flour.
Stir well with an egg whisk until cooked.
Then add two teacupfuls of thin cream,
some pepper and salt. Stir it over the
fire until perfectly smooth. This also
furnishes an excellent sauce with which
to serve -caulidower.
NuOCOidtc Vuip.-1dke one OUNCE
OF cocoa paste. or the same quantity of
sweet chocolate scraped fine, and add
it to one quart of rich cream and half
pound of pulverized sugar. Place ON
the fire and bring to the boiling point,
stirring constantly with a whisk, then
remove it and when it is thoroughly
cold add to it the whites of four eggs
and whisk briskly, and remove the froth
as it foams with a perforated skinner
and lay it upon hair sieve to drain.
When you have a sufficient quantity of
whip fill your glasses or cups three
fourths full of the cream and pile the
whip on top of them; sprinkle little
vanilla sugar or powdered cinnamon on
the whip and serve. Another method
for Chocolate Whip-Dissolve two
ounces of cocoa paste, on a moderate
fire, in half tumbler of boiling water,
and when cold add il to one quart of
cream, together with six ounces of pow
dered sugar. Whip and finish as above.
