How Dear and Loving woman Tried
Mothers Patience.
In no respect are the friends outside
thesanctuary of home crueler than in act
ing upon the conviction that what Mrs
Stowe defines as terms Of undross init
macy" with us iustifes them IN parcel
ling out our time TO suit their conven
ience and pleasure. Women are most
uncomfortable in this species Of torture
Men have been slaves to business for SC
many centuries that the masculine guest
or neighbor, albeit a favorite crony, haf
a glimmering appreciation Of the fact
that his associates must have time IN
which 10 earn n living. The cruelest of
friends is the woman who does nothing
in particular and at no particular time
and is so fond Of you, who have a spe
cifc occupation aud set hours for carry
ing It on, that she cannot be happy away
from you and finds the day savorless
which has not been salted by a comfort
able talk between you and herself.
A very ficnd Of affectiouate barbarity
was rich and idle woman who chose
as her bosom friend the busy wife Of
city clergyman and the mother Of five
children. OF these children she was alsC
the governess until the boys were ready
for the college preparatory school and
sent her three girls from the family
schoolrooln TO Smith and Vassar. ShD

infant Of her expressed desire that that
part of the day lying between and
/ o'clock should be devoted to her pupils,
and, to the credit Of those who did not
aspire to the honor Of such intimacy al
the rectory as might warrant reversal OF
household arrangements, itmay be stated
that her eccontricity in this regard wa;
generally respected.
The wealthiest vestryman's wife, by
virtue of her peculiar attachment to the
. industrious housemother, spurned regu.
lations not of her own making and de
clared- her independence by word and
| deed. The reCtor's wife loved her for her
many excellent qualities and valued her
answering esteem. ! think, neverthe
less, that Mephistopheles would have
| been a more welcome apparition than
the smiling visage that presented itself
twice or thrice each week at the study
door with the coaxing apology:

more than they, an intruder who dis
tracted eyes and thoughts and embar-
rassed recitations none the less for the
frequency Of the visitation. A gravel
stone in the shoe is one Of the minor ills
of the daily walk to which the flesh is
slow to become reconciled. A common
acquaintance could have been denied at
the outer entrance, or had she reached

A grocer complains bitterly because
wealthy patrons of his establishment
send tramps and paupers there with
notes saying, Mr.. B., give this man a
pound of crackers and box Of sardines, "
OF "the bearer would like four bundles
of kindling and pound of coffee. 20
The applicants get the stuff because the
grocer wants to retain the custom of
those who send them and who have not
the slightest intention Of paying for
goods thus given away. Its pretty
cheap charity for these rich people to en-
gage in, says he, "but my experience is
that it hurts rich man worse to give
up dollar than it does poor man. ~

The Limits Of Human Hearing.
We can do a great deal to cultivate
me ear, but we can do nothing to exc
tend the range Of sounds which the tym-
pauum can receive. The ear may have
great keenness Of perception, may hear
sounds extremely small, distant aud
faint, and Yet be always deaf to any
noise, however loud, if 1t is lower or
higher in pitch than the tympanum is
made for. Various experiments show
that about the lowest, OF what iu a mu.
Hcal instrument would be- called the

/ lations in the second and tho highest of

hearing never extends more than a mote

Nature Is very particular to conceal
her deformitius. and all that is worthless
or ungraceful generally drops of from
a tree unless it be an injury to the trunk
From such effects the tree never recuv
ers. Go into the forests and how often
we see deformed trees, some bent aud
twisted, some parted till the original
trunk becomes like two-each crossing
and recrossing the other This was done
by depression or injury to the tree in it,

power to right II broken law-neither in

Many interesting stories have been
told about that favorite son of the south,
Henry W. Grady. One that was heard
few evenings ago at an assemblage
largely made up Of Presbyterian clergy
men shows that his colored coachman,
who has not appeared prominently be-
fore the American public, was well
worthy 10 be in the service Of such a
master The Rev DR.. Henry NJ. Field
was the relatOr Of the incident. DR..
Field was visiting Atlanta and Of course
met Mr.. Grady. Mr.. Grady placed his
carriage at'Dr, Fields disposal, and after
driving about the city, ON being left al
Mr. Gradys Office, DR.. Field rewarded
the coachmsn with a big silver dollar.
Later in the day Mr.. Grady remarked
10 DR.. Field that his coachman had told
him OF the tip, and at the same time had
said that a certain Baptist clergyman
whom he had driven about the city
few days before as Mr. Grady's guest
had at the End Of the ride rewarded hin
with his blessing, saving that he coull
give no other reward. Mir Grady askeC
which he preferred, the dollar or tn.
blessing, and tine coachman, scratching
his head, replied that both were goo,
and that he thought he preferred then
