tay, and finally drew lots, and it fell to

stay, and finally drew lots, and it fell to
Jim.
"I'm not really out, anyhow" said
that young person, philosophically ;
sand, as you and Teddy seem awfully
slow about leaving the family nest, per-
haps it is just as we'll that I am not
brought forward just yet"
ssThc effect will be overwhelming
when you are," said Teddy, laughing /;
but secretly we all thought Jim the
beauty of the family, for, with the
golden hair, she had soft-brown eyes and
dark eyelashes.
1t was with the utmost serenity that
Teddy and / accepted Mrs. Raymond s
invitation to stroll about the grounds a
little with her, and see some new neigh
bors only lately como to live at Chester
Grove.
We were arrayed in the finest of linen
lawns, white, with small blue figure,
with blue belts, and white muslin shade
hats with blue bows. Blue neckties,
knots of blue in our curls, and blue
trimmed white gloves constituted our
costumes; and can answer for Teddy's
being exceedingly becoming.
Strolling leisurely along, we met two
gentlemen in white linen suits and straw
hats; we heard Mrs. Raymond say:
'..Allow me to introduce the Messrs.
Townsends, lately returned from Europe.
Mr.. John Townsend, Miss Theodoisa
Brent; Mr.. William Townsend, Miss
ThQmasine Brent"
gthought l was going to faint. I
heard Teddy gasp. l saw Mrs. Raymond
sail majestically away; and then looked
again.
Yes, it was "Bill;" and Teddy was
blushing, with dropping eyes, before
"John."
"Would you please forgive us3" said
John, presently. "We had just come
over to Dollivcr, and had heard for the
first time that there was any personal
feeling involved in the sale of our ia
theirs property, which we had regarded
as mere business transaction. We were
coming up the street beside your house,
when we saw your distress, and, having
nothing to do, we took off our coats and
vests and hats, and rubbed little mud
on our faces and hands and"
''It was just for lark, you know"
pleaded Bill, as his brother paused; "and
you did look just ready to cry, you
know"
at was very good of you" said Teddy,
looking very much as Bill had just de-
scribed her.
eyes, we are very much Obliged" l
said, thinking of all they had heard us
say about them, aud wondering how
much they remembered.
But, somehow, just then we all looked
up, and in another second the air was
filled with laughter. 1t was irresistible.
The whole affair was too funny.
After that, we were the best of friends.
The Townsends came often to jerks
Corner, and when Jim comes out regu-
larly, next winter, she will have no sis
terly compunctions about Teddy or me,
because there will be double wedding
in about two weeks. Teddy and I arc
going to marry "those horrid Town
sends. THE Ledger.

AN AWFUL TINE,
BY ANNA SHIELDS.

1t was al awful time. In the first
place, it was the middle of July, and we
had to move. Old Mr.. Townsend died,
and every stick and stone that he owned
in Dollivcr Was sold. His heirs, two
sons (oh, how we hated their very
names, knowing no more of them, had
been abroad, had come home, intending
to divide their time between their New
York residence and the family estate at
Chester Grove, but they didn't want to
bother with a lot of rented houses in
Dolliver, and these were peremptorily
doomed to be sold.
Old Conway pounced upon ours at
once. OF course he did Mrs. Conway
and her two homely daughters had been
hankering for our house for years, for,
though we did "only rent it, we had
lived there for thirteen years, and, oh,
the additions and improvements we had
made to it We had doubled its value,
l am certain. We beautified it, inside
and out; we lavished our artistic tastes
upon the panels; we adorned the walls /;
We had the floor puttied, painted and
polished, and Teddy had actually paint
ed the most beautiful border and cor
ner-pieces of oak leaves and acorns
round the entire sitting room. And
now, to give it oil up! Oh! those hate
full Townscnds.
What added to the distress was the
fact that the only house we could find
in all Dolliver to rent was little two
story cottage, quite distance from all
the neighbors to whom we had become
attached, and in locality we detested.
However, there was no help for it, and
AZ said before, we had an awful time.
1t was bad enough to know the dear, old
home was lost to us, and that the Con-
ways were to enjoy all our labors of love
on the walls and floors; it was sufficiently
exasperating to be compelled to take up
our abodeat Jenk's Corner, a locality we
abominated, but these were only the be-
ginning of our tribulations.
The day we were to move was hot
oh, SO hot! and the dear mother having
done the work of about three men, the
previous week, and weighing at her best
times about ninety-four pounds, broke
down with binding nervous headache.
Martha, a treasure of servant, had
already laid herself up by spraining her
wrist, in moving trunk, SO there were
Teddy and Jim and to ''do" the mov-
ing.
Teddy is my elder sister Theodosia, and
Jim is Jemima, my youngest sister; am
shomasine, always called Tom in the
BOSOM of my family. We are all young,
we are all blondes, we are all small, and
we are all pretty. We have incomes of
our own of three hundred dollars year,
and the dear mother has about twelve
hundred a year, so we can live very
nicely, indeed, in a quiet place like
Dolliver.
When mother patiently tainted away
just as the first furniture van drove up
to the door, Teddy and l detailed Jim
for active duty in the hospital depart
ment, and promised to have mothers
room made ready the first thing. In the
meantime, she was made comfortable in
Jim's room, and Martha undertook to
superintend the loading of the vans, while
Teddy and scampered off to the new
house, to see to receiving the furniture
1t was clean as a new pin; that was
one little ray of comfort, and we hung
up our hats, and put on the biggest Of

A Split Ear.

The curious case is mentioned by a
German doctor of man who expert
enced unpleasant cracking noises in the
left ear during period of year and a
half. These occurred every few seconds,
and could be heard by any person at a
distance of foot. There was no deaf
ness or Inflammation, but the drum was
found to have split in it through
which air was forced by the act Of swal-
lowing.

The Drovers' Journal states that
"those who are laying out new industrial
towns in the South are very wisely giving
special attention to the houses of wage
workers, allowing them more room. The
workingmen's quarters in Southern cities
and towns will not be so crowded as in the
Northern cities, and will be in every re-
spect more home-lil1e."

Says the Denver (Col) Field and
Farm: "The country pays too much for
its milling. We sell wheat at one cent
pound and pay two cents pound for
flour, the miller keeping nearly half of
the product of the grain to sell for
stock food. The miller's family wear
better clothes than the farmers"

TO AN OLD APPLE-rREE

Ihose maimed limbs plead thy story;
The wounds upon thy body speak for thee:
Thou art veteran soldier SCARED with
> glory,
My brave old apple-treei
Oft hast thou borne up under
Onset Of storming wind and shot of hail;
And once a sword-lunge of assailant thunder
Slashed down thy barken mail.
Old age, disease, and battle
Have scathed and crooked and crippled all
thy form;
And thy Briarean bare arms clash and rattle,
Tost In the wintry storm.
seem to feel thee shiver
As on thy nakedness hangs rags of snow;
May charitable Spring, the gracious giver,
Ger thee her mantle throwi
She will and sunshine spilling
From blue skies thou again shalt drink as
wine,
And feel afresh the rush Of young blood
thrilling
Through that old heart of thine.
rOr IN Cne season duly
Each year there rises youths perennial
power
Within thee, and thou then rejoicest newly
In robes Of leaf and flower.
Ay, though thy years are many,
And sorrows heavy, yet from winters gloom
Thou issuest, with the young trees, glad as
any,
AS quick of green and bloom.
The bluebird's warble mellow
Returns like memory and calls thy name,
And, as first love, the orioles plumage yel-
low
Burns through thy shade like fame.
Thou quiver'st in the sunny
June mornings to the welcoming Of song,
And bees about their business Of the honey
Whisper thee all day long.
Thus thou art blest and blessest-
Thy grace of blossoms fruiting into gold;
And thus, in touch with nature, thou pos
sessest
The art of growing old.
