TEARS CAME TO HER RELIEF.

window, hearing everything distinc city,
yet powerless either to move or cry
aloud She knew not how long she re-
manned thus.
A feeling that she could not resist
drew her to the place where she knew
they had laid him. She crept quietly
out and reached the room unobserved.
She knelt beside him, clasping his hand
in her own, but there was no answer
ing pressure. They were cold and chill.
She kissed the pale lips over and over
again, but no smile lit up the careworn
face, no CLEAN of love-light shone out
through the closed eyelids. She saw
him standing in the doorway, as he had
stood for a moment before going to
his work that morning His parting
words came back to her. He had said
to her in his bright, CHEEKY way;
Gretchen, help the little mother all
You can to-day. You know she is not
very strong"
She had returned crisp unpleasant
answer. Then he turned and went
away without another word; but O,
such a gricved, sorrowful look! How
much she would have given to know
that she was forgiven, But it was toe
late. lie would never ,now how sorry
she was Tears camo To her relief.

Then a neighbor came in and drew her
gently from the room, saying:
"Gretchen, you must be your mothers
comforter now" Then she resolutely
put aside her own grief to soothe and
quiet the younger children.
The day of burial came. She saw
the friends gather one by one; she
listened to the solemn chant, stood be-
side the open grave, heard the old gray
headed pastor solemnly repeat the
words: Earth to earth, and dust to
dust" heard her mothers agonizing
cry, as the earth-clods touched the
cofin-lid. Then came the return to
their desolate home where everything
reminded them so forcibly of the lost
one.
Ere long thoughts Of the future
pressed upon mother and daughter
The cottage was theirs, but how was
the little flock to be clothed and fed?
Through the kindness of friend, a
school in an adjoining district was
proffered Mrs. Merton. She decided to
accept the offer. Thus few weeks
found Gretchen duly installed as house
keeper 1t was not what she had
planned for herself before their sorrow
came, and rebellious thoughts would
crowd in upon her; but memory OF
the still form hidden away in the old
churchyard, and look into her
mothers pale, sad face, would check
them, and the bitter words remained
unspoken.
Weeks passed, The duties of the
school-room, together with the over
sight of the home, proved too much fcl
frail Mrs Merton. Late in the autumn
just before the chilling winter came
another grave was made, and Gretchen
saw her mother laid to rest beside hei
father.
Mollie had been slightly i'll for sew
eral days; but Gretchen had not heed
ed it, being too much engrossed will
the care of her mother. Mollie grew
suddenly worse. The disease proved
to be scarlet fever in it's most malig
nant form. A few days of intense pain
then the busy hands were folded anC
the loving child voice hushed forever
One after another the other children
were taken from the home, till only
herself and the baby We're left. She
held the little form close in her arms

that this one home-link might b,

broken doll, worn baby-shoe, her
mothers work basket, with its contents
untouched, were among the treasures
carefully placed in an old hair-trunlS,
Then she saw the home furniture auc-
toned off, and lastly the cottage and
grounds transferred to Deacon Smith.
She was alone, without friends or home.
With great heart-cry of anguish,
she sprang to her feet. She gazed
about her with look of intense aston.
ishment. The breath of cinnamon
roses came to her through the open
window. A robin was piping a
merry roundelay in a cherry tree near
by. The indistinct murmur of chill
dren's voices fell upon her ear The
book that had fallen at her feet as she
sprang from the lounge now arrested
her attention. Tears of Joy sprang
to her eyes as she realized that her sor.
rows were only a dyeam.
Passing quickly from the room, she
found her mother bending over the
ironing table, looking heated and tired.
Gretchen led her into the adjoining
room and placed her on the lounge
which she had so recently occupied
Then she coaxed the children into the
barn, where she left them interested in

ing to the house, she noiselessly opened
the door of the parlor and saw hel
mother quietly sleeping. And now she
took up the work which the tired
hands of the sleeper had left untin,
ished The great Joy that nestled in
her heart made her forget the heated
room, the unread books, the little
economics and self-denials of her home
life.
Nor did the lesson of her dream fade
from memory. Often afterward the
thought of that one hour of sorrowfuI
slumber checked the impatient WORD
or the thought of self-indulgence. Il
was a cause of wonder to her parents
that their thoughtless, ease-lovinl
daughter had suddenly grown so con
siderate and womanly. Gretchen KEEP
her own counsel, but she will never
forget the lesson of that June morning

HANDY PEOPLE.
It Is Well to Have "A knowledge Df Many
Things,

1h1ngS'
Handy and hardness express pc
culiar aptness in small matters, versa
tility and tact. American boys who
are brought up to labor are usually dis
tinguished for the knacl of turning
their hands to anything Hardly any
one in this country ever dreams of con-
fining himself to q single manual craft;
for, though he may pursue but one reg
ularly yet he knows great deal about
many, and, at pinch, can earn his
livelihood at some employment outside
of his regular vocation.
For the ordinary purposes of life
general hardness is better than skill
in only one thing. If hard times befall
one trade, Yankee betal1es himself to
another. He looks about to see what
things are thrifty and puts his hand to
them without waiting for seven years
apprenticeship In old times, when
men had few means or indictments to
intelligence, long apprenticeships might
be needed and in some callings, especi-
ally those in which great manual skill
is required, they still are; but reading,
thinking, courageous man, with conf
dence in his powers, can do many use
full things well enough for ordinary
purposes without serving an apprentice
ship except with his eyes-learning as
he goes along.
To large extent, this hardness is
| likely to be confined to our laboring
classes. The children of wealthy pa
rents, and boys who are set apart fol-
some learned profession, are seldom ex
pected to deal with any thing but ideas
When they grow up, if they fail in the
particular calling to which they belong
they become helpless, and feebly strive
to get along, with poor success, unit
kindly death has compassion on them
Nothing is more piteous than the toC
often seen helplessness of educated an(
refined people brought suddenly to pow

facility. Too often it is mere exercise
of the brain in which the hands havt

1t is very important that the walls OF
the house we live in are pleasing and
pleasant to us, as we need to be cheer
ed and rested by that which meets our
gaze hour after hour in our home life.
There have been decided changes in
this respect within few years
Formerly room once papered would
last nearly lifetime, and now for
sanitary aad other reasons it is custom
airy to change paper frequently. But
even then the paper that lasts for a
briefer time should be carefully chosen,
and all necessary requirements kept
continually in mind
The rolled wall paper is compare
lively modern introduction. Paper
formerly came in square sheets and
was pasted together before being
printed, This was clumsy to handle
The paper has improved puch in quail
ity and beauty with the years. Those
who have given the matter little atten-
ton will hardly realize the changes
that have recently been made.
The correct paper for the library or
dining-room is tapestry paper, which
presents all the soft, rich effects of the
old-time tapestries and gives the room
a cosy, comfortable atmosphere.
The wide frieze is going by. 1t is
entirely out of place with the elaborate
papers now in use. The molding for
the hanging of pictures is absolutely
essential, and is made in very beautiful
and varied styles The dining-room
that is finished in oak will have an oal,
molding.
The papers for the parlor are of the
old-time type, large vases of flowers
wreaths and lavish designs in soft tints
brought ont by white and gold, This
paper in the smaller styles and little
darker colors, is used for the sitting
room or livingroom. e.,
The chambe papers have large fora
designs in light colors, and soft shades
of olive, terra Gotta, etc. Among tho
chamber papers are what is known as
chintz papers that sell for ST. so roll

papers also come as sanitary papers a

The leather papers with their heav

their fine stamped designs for parlor

will be certain to make many feel tina
