I y
short-cake years ago., and the widow
smiled at the farmer till there was a
dlmple in each cheek. Her words
brought vividly back to him his hap
piest experiences Of quarter of cen
tury previous.
4 remember too he responded
Then Lucy and her mother went out.
"I've spoken to her about being one
of the family, and she's willing,' said
Charley.
IL don't understand, said the far
mer in great bewilderment growing
hot, then cold.
why, you know what you said the
other night, when you told me you
thought of getting her mother for a
housekeeper,' explained Charley. 81
suppose you understood, from what
you said, that Lucy and I intend to be
married. It's all settled
Mr.. Kimball sat specchless. What
he thought Of in the next five minutes
could not be described. His brain
worked with speed and intensity to
which it was quite unaccustomed.
I--hope you'll be happy he STAN.
mered at last, feeling that something
was expected of him and amiably desir-
Gus of maintaining, as far as he could
the genial and happy spirit Of the &C.
casion.
I'm sure we will, SAID Charley I
hope you will too
Pretty soon the widow came in.
The short cakes baking she said
Lucy SAID she'd pick the berries and
set the table, and sent me in to play
lady and entertain the company
Charley watched his oportunity and
slipped into the kitchen. The two
more than middle aged people were
TINS left to entertain each other. The
sly boy Cupid never had better op-
portunlty given him.
The farmer had made up his mind
again. If he couldn't have Lucy, he'd
have her mother, if he could get her.
"Come to think it all over, he told
himself, that was the best plan by all
odds
He wondered how he could been
foolish enough to think Of marrying Il
girl of twenty-on or two The idea
was ridiculous.
What is the use Of waiting ? thought
he. 1T might as we'll be settled now
as any other time.
Hester he began getting red again,
Charley and Lucy aregoins ges to mar
ried. Why shouldn't We?
Mr.. Kimball blnrted out the ques
ton with startling emphasis.
Why, Mr. Kimball : cried the wild
ow, blushing so rosilY that he thought
she was prettier than her daughter.
4 came over on purpose to ask you,
he said, telling q most outrageous flb. 1
hope you haven't any objections
When Lucy came in, half an hour
later, to say tea was ready, the farmer
rose up, blushing like girl, and jerk
ed his thumb toward the window;
then said, in voice that shook lit
tie
That's your mother Lucy. l mean
that's Mrs. Kimball, or going to be.
It's all settled.
4 spose | may kiss my father, then,
said Lucy, and pumped a kiss on the
farmers lips, who said she might give
him another for her father-in law while
she was about it, if she'd no objections
One will answer for BOTH said Lucy.
Then the farmer gave his arm to the
woman he had meant to marry five
und-twenty years ago, and led her out
to tea. He had never regretted that
matters turned out as they did.
Lucy cant be beat for daugter,
he tells himself but / don't want
any better wife than her mother makes.

GOODCHILDREN STREET.

What! This the streetY This humdrum row
OF bricks and mortar Rather say
La RWe dfs Jhurdis G1rcOnS! Nay
Methought some shining stream would flow
Between green banks, fern'frlnged and low,
And summer gardens all a'blow.
Where children's treble voices ring,
And echo down the by-ways far
And eyes as blue as angels are,
Smile on the flowers with gentle looks,
And bend o'er tasks in pleasant books,
On watch which way the swallows wing.
They sing like birdlings in the nest
No angry frown nor sullen brow
In fancy / can see them now;
What smiling cherub faces pressed
Against the panel What downy rest
OF golden heads on mothers breastl
! seem TO see them as they go,
In long bright rows like slanting beams
OF light that only shines In dreams;
With emblems borne that serve to show
How well their little hands have striven-
Good CHILDREN, marching on to Heaven.

How About the "Chain Gang g'

EDITOR CRITIC | notice that District
Assembly No o. Knights of Labor, sent
recently protest TO the Commissioners
against employing the 'chain gang' on the
streets, etc. What do these men want !;
that the taxpaying citizens shall be taxed to
support these criminals In idlenessY Don't
they know that these men do work that
there is no money to pay for, and that there
fore it does not deprive any laborerer OF a
cent? This has been explained time and again
and these parties only make themselves
ridiculous by such resolutions and protests.
II the Knights Of Labor will furnish the
money to pay for this work, and also to
support these criminals In idleness, no one
will object; but until they do, 1t strikes me
they better keep quiet on this subject.

a CITY of HOMES.

There are nearly 10000 owners OF real
estate in Philadelphia who pay taxes upon
the 225, 900 separate properties assessed in
the city limits. These figures show a
larger proportion OF taxpaye yers than can be
found In any city in the United States, and
probably In the world. There are less th an
100000 real estate owners in New York
city, and the proportion In London is
nearly as small. In round figures the total
value OF real estate Of this city is S600,0 00,-
900, and the average OF property to each
real estate taxpayer is about $1,000

GOVERNOR DAVID b. HILL of New
York is hereby notified that bcfore he
can be elected President of the United
States he must marry. One White
House wedding in generation is
enough, and the people do not wish to
have any more. There's too much
wear and tear on the public curiosity,
and newspaper men have to indulge in
too much eccentric veiacity to satisfy
the demand for news to make such af.
fairs altogether agreeable. Therefore,
If Governor Hill is contemplating

latest development is a letter from the
Comptroller to the Governor in which
the writer says that 1t is the general

would pass into history "as u miserable
