Poverty and LuXury.

Little Girl-Was your folks poor when
you were little girl?
Grandma-We thought we were, my
dear. We were pioneer farmers and
lived in a log cabin, but it was large
and comfortable. The floors were
warmly carpeted. We had plenty to
eat and plenty to wear. But we raised
everything ourselves and made our own
cloth. We had no money to go to the
stores, even if we had been near any,
and SO we felt very, very poor. There
were two things we were all fond of,
and oh, how we longed for them. and
how we wished we could afford them,
but we couldn't, and it made us feel
very miserable to be SO poor. These
two things were salt mackerel and store
molasses-
Little Girl-O-o-oh! Why, what did
you have to eat, then?
Grandma-Nothingb but beef, mutton,
chickens. venison, quail, squirrels, wild
ducks, brook trout and such things, and
rs for molasses, we hadn't anything
but maple sirup.-N. Y. World.
