Harrr,s Tenn tation.

Elizabeth II. Davis, in Golden Days
In q little manufacturing village in Mssss-
chusetts, where the busy sound OF lathe and
hammer and plane kept time to every run.
ming stream, Harry Lindsay lived with his
widowed mother and little sister, Jennie.
The business of the place was simply chair
making, and the cane seats were woven BY
persons at their own homes-the work being
taken 10 them from the factories and called
for when it was done. This last was what
Harry did, and very proud he felt when he
rode through the town on his track" as he
called the big wagon that ratified back
and forth, and over the hills, stopping here
and there TO leave or gather the finished
work Of this most useful industry.
He mad secured the place soon after his
fathers death, through the influence of an
old friend who told him IT was 81 mighty
good chance. snd he ought to be plsguev
thankful, for there was plenty Of boys who
would Just Jump out Of their hides to get it,"
harry said he was, and tried to look Sc
anyway, in fact, tina. would convey to his
benefactor's mind mis- entire willingness to
dispense with his skin, il that would show the
proper gratitude.
Truth to say, he was thankful, AID rose ev-
cry morning with fresh plans 70 cheer his
dear mothers lot, and make SIS pleasant SIS
possible her changed condition.
They had been obliged 10 give up their
old comfortable home, and live in the half Of
& small cottage where the rent would come
within their reduced means.
But in the crisp May mornings, with the
birds singing, and the sun shining down on
old Wachusett, just as IT had shown through
al the Mays in her life, she felt ct times a.
most as if there had been no change and
realized how much of Joy or sorrow springs
from the inner life.
There is something very friendly and pro.
tective IN q mountain. This one seemed to
her like grave but steadfast comrade-an
everlasting hill" in whose shadow she could
live sgain the days tina. were never to come
back.
There were two other families in the
house, kindly people, profuse in their offers
of assistance, and al Delighted with Jennie,
who was the pre!tiest little wild rose that
ever blossomed within sight ofthe blue mists
of Wschusett.
They rose early, and the days work
began at seven o'clock for Harry. With
, loY.:5.5 kiss TO Jennie, whom he called
nChub"-because she was such rolly
polly little thing-he was of. Bat he
always managed to drive by the mousse,
and ne would wave his palm leaf hat
go joyously TO her, from his high seat on
the rack, that the anxious mother forget
kali her cares, and thought the people who
called her boy 'smart" we're altogether
right.
They besutifed their side Of the cottage
which came so close TO being toe back side
that only Tor the pretty blossoms springing
from every nook, and view Of the dear
Wachusett that Mrs Lindsay said was
ker1en indeed.
At night, when Harry got home, they
pulled up the weeds, and had those delight
full intercbanges of thought and plan, that
come to those where the smallest pleasure ls
earned in the loving light Of home.

Growing Old.

Atsix-I well remember when
i fancied all folks old at ten.
But, when I'd turned my first decade,
Fifteen appeared more truly staid.
But when the fifteenth round I'd run,
thought none old still twenty-one.
Then, oddly, when I'd reached that age,
held that thirty made folks sage.
But when my thirtieth years was told,
/ said, "At two score men grow old!'
Yet two score came and found me thirty,
And so l draw the line at fifty.
Butwhen reached that age, swore
None could be old until three scorel
And here am at sixty now,
As young as when at six, / trowl
IT'S true, these rogues about my knee
Say GRANDPA" when they speak to me;
But, bless your soul, I'm young as when
i thought all people old at tenl
Perhaps little wiser grown
Perhaps some old illusions flown;
But wond'ring still, when years have rolled,
Whenis II that man grows oidl

A Man Who Hated Tobacco.

Samuel G. Kirby, the well
knwn cabinet-maksr and former
undertaken, died yesterday
morning. He was eighty. four
years of ago, having been born
in Maryland during the closing
wear cf the last century. Mr..
Kirby lad several very marked
characteristics, the most prom.
nsnt being perfect horror of
tobacco. He was reputed the
best furniture maker in the Dis
trict, and furnished many of the
official and other costly houses
here before manufactures were
established. Many singular in
stances of his aversion to tobac-
CO are related. He would not
tolerate a man about him who
was smoking or chewing, and
had his place of business pla'
carded with prohibitions against
the use of tobacco. On ono Oc-
casion, before the war, wealthy
Georgian had bought very
large bill of goods, but hssitat-
ed over Il handsome center
table. He returned with his
wife after dinner, having dscld
ed to take it. But he had lit a
cigar in leaving the hotel, and
when he entered the store Mr..
Kirby peremptorily ordered
him out. On another accession
MI. Kirby was driven to Bright
wood with a gentleman, who Oh
starting back lit a cigar Mr.
Kirby announced his intention
of walking back, and alightes
without giving any explanation
to his companion, who was I'M
aware ofss.his idiosyncracy.-
