Mr.. and Mrs. Tucker exchanged
chances, for they had heard that the old
lady and Mrs. John didn't get along
very well.
After the evening was over, and Mr..
and Mrs. Tucker were plodding their
way home, she said:
Jedi it was awful pleasant there,
wasn't it?''
And he said: Yes, it was; and l
wish our boys would stay home like
those Youngs do
And so the conversation dropped, but
Mrs. Tucker pondered for three days
about turning her parlor into a sitting
room, and Mr.. Tucker proposed to his
astonished boys to stay home and try to
draw some dogs and cats on paper; but
as the first plan was never carried into
effect, and the second was lost by a
large majority, the Tucker family re-
main about the same.
But others, less dull, saw and caught
the spirit that pervaded that happy
home, the spirit of self-sacrificing love
and mutual conces sion; and those who
understood respected, admired and imi-
tated Homes grew brighter in the lit

proclaimed that at least the germ was
there, and promised fair things to those
who should seek; for those who seek for

aOGy8 find it.
Curtains, brackets, table-covers and
cushions grew apace, and presently
books and pictures appeared in homes
where few had been. George developed
such taste for drawing that class was
formed, and John, good, honest John,
proposed a reading club, and grandma
| seconded the motion, and out of it grew
q class in elocution, which was the pride
of the little village.
And so the long, cold winter passed
a more enjoyable winter than Julia had
seen for years. Grandma was no angel,
but she understood and appreciated,
and that was quite enough.
When the spring-time came, and the
sweet scent of the blooming trees came
waiting in at the open windows, old
Mrs. Young passed gently away-with
her hand clasping tenderly that of her
faithful daughter-in-law, and her last
words, words of praise to her: Julie,
you made my closing months happy
and peaceful. God bless yoat. - Godey's

driven, of caiboDic oxide gas, generated
by means Of two small charcoal fur
naces. On every day except Saturday
the city dog catchcrs send TO the shelter
in the laiiced wagon the days catch of
cannes, which are placed in the pound.
This is a spacious, comfortable place,
with cool running water, in which the
imprisoned animals may battle on the
hot days, and where they are well-ied

seventy five or hundred Of them have
accumulated the Dc ath room is prepared

aud dogs which would bark--and bite,
too, if they found chance. All OF

made alright. The killing process,
however, could be examined through
glass doors provided for that purpose.

Or the voice which rang SO merry:
To the JOY she felt, her lips gave birth
Lips, red as the ripest cherry
saw not Heaven above, nor Earth

We clamber'd away over crag and hill
Through places dark and dreary;
We stopped to drink of the sprinkling rill
And gathered the blushing berry;

And rocks and rocks lnay scrry,
But liked her more in her fragile forms,
