4 few months ago the daughter Of q
fockland man, who was grown comfort
ably we'll Oil in the small grocery line, was
sent away to female college, and last
week she arrived home for the holiday va
cation. The old man was in attendance at
| t}le depot when the train arrived, with the
old horse IN the delivery wagon TO convey
his daughter and Her trtt,lSto the house.
When tho train had stopped bewitcIling
array OF dry goods and broad brtnlme1
hatdasIiet1 from the car, aud flung herself
into the elderly party's arms.
fhy you superIativo pal" she ex-
claimed: Il u ever SO glad 10 see you.''
The Old man assoneWhat urlIerved By
the greeting, but he recognized the seal
SKIN cloak in his grip as tileiClentical piece
OF property he had paid for with the bay
mare, and he sort Of squat itup In his
arms, and planted kiss where 1t would do
the most good with a report that sounded
above the noise at the depot. In brief
space Of time the trunk aud It's attendant
baggage were loaded into the wagon,
which was soon humping over the cobbles
toward home.
PA, dear, y said the young miss, sur-
Feying the team with critical eye, '<do.
you consider this quite excessively be-

Hey 21 returned the old man with a
puzzled air, quite excessive beyond
what beyond Warron? I consider 1t
about ten miles beyond Warren, countin,
from the Bath way, IL that's what you
mean. =
ksoIl no, pa; you don't understand me-
the daughter explained; 7 mean this wag-
on and horse. DO you think they are
soulful :--lo you think they could be
studied apart in the light Of symphony,
oreven single poem, and appear as in
tensely utter to one on returning home as
one could express?
The Old man twisted uneasily in shis seat
and muttered something about he believed
itused to be used for an express before he
bought it TO deliver pork i'll, but the con-
yersation appeared TO be travelling in such
a lonesome direction that he fetched the
horse a resounding crack on the rotunda, |
and the severe jolting over the frozen
ground prevented further remarks.
tsOh, thereis that lovely and consummate
MAJ, screamed the returned eollegiatess
as they drew up at the door, and presently
she was lost=in the embrace Of 4 motherly
woman in speetacles.
Well Maria, y said the old man ut the
supper tableas he nipped 4 piece Of butter
off the lump with his own knife, m how
q you like yotar school p
Well, there, pa, now you're shou-I
mean consider it too far beyond, Y re-
piled the daughter. 1T is nnquenchably
Inetfable. The girls are SO sumrtuouslY
mem grand-so exquisite

bulls, the rfdes-oh, the past weeks have
been one Of sublime harmony

sented the old man us he reached for his
third cup, .shalf fnll'-but how about
your hooks-readin', Writln', grammar,

.sI,as don't'' exclaimed the daughter
reproaehfully; the rule of three, gram
