adelphia, the pastor preached on the
distress of the heather and the ben
eficent influence of Christianity. A
practical business man was moved to
place dollar in the collection. After
the service he waited around to speak
to the pastor. When he had secured
his attention, he said: Pastor, gave
a dollar to the foreign mission this
morning, but l was SO impressed by
your description of the condition of the
heather races that would really like
to have them get the benefit of that
dollar" The pastor looked up inquir-
ingly, and the man added: Here is

She heard about the poorhouse til
she was tired of it, and one day wher
she was out in the berry pasture, she
sat down and looked at the building
which could be seen in the distance
just over the hill, and, with queer
feeling at her heart, she thought if she
did have to go to the poorhouse, it
would not be such a bad place to stay
in, after all.
Next day she went about her work
very quietly, and stole away In the
afternoon to Widow Smiths for little
while. The second day she made one
more effort: Don't you think you
could have something done to the roof
after you get the harvest out of the
way, John?"
If you want to go to the poorhouse,
You can, DON'T" was the concise an
swer.
When John came in at night, his sup
per was ready, but his wife was not to
be seen. He thought she would be in
in moment, but after resting awhile
and seeing no sign of her, he decided
to eat, as she had probably been called
to some one of the neighbors. On his
plate lay note:

out with the numerous cares of a
farmers wife, just sat down and cried.
But If you think a woman's tears end
the matter, you are much mistaken.
The tears are only the beginning.
When she wanted anything done,
John was always ready to start for the
poorhouse, and was quite sure that
anything laid out on the house, inside
or out. was only so many paving stones
on the road to the great, roomy old
farmhouse where the dozen or so poor
and crippled ones of the town were
cared for.
The first time she asked him timidly
if he didn't think the house needed
paint, he said: Eyes, / do, but we
should go to the poorhouse if we got
everything we fancied.-
When she wondered If he couldn't
have the roof patched. he said: mo,

A BURIED CITY.

One time little town did lie
Within hollow fair and green:
And flowing to the open sky,
A little river ran between.
One-half that little town lay spread
AS II asleep below the hill
And on the brow, more quiet still,
The other half were lying dead
And there one time little boy
Was wont to steal away from school;
For much his rebel heart had joy
To break the masters iron rule;
He knew the reedy rivers brim;
And when he wandered up and down,
The green old hill from base to crown
Was friend and fellow unto him
Oh. many years since then have flown!
The hill was cleared by ruthless hands;
The little boy man hath grown;
Where lay the town q city stands
Yet when that city seems to frown.
Outlines the little boy doth sigh
For all the rebel years that lie
Deep buried with the little town.

Every shower that came over the hills
brought hurry and worry with it, for
she must take down everything hang
ing ir the lean-to, and set pals in half
dozen places in the attic, and the car
pet in the end room had already been
taken up because the numerous wet
tings that it had received were spoil
ing it, and the brilliant colors were all
running together in one indistinguish-
able blur.
The paint was all off the house in
some places and fast coming off IN
others; in fact, the cottage was in
state of peel" all over. The neigh
bors had begun to speak about it, and
say to Malvina how nice it would look
painted in light colors. And down at
the sewing circle one lady had heard
that she was going to have her house
painted, and another asked ''if she'd
got to hev paintin' done this fallr'
When she returned from that meet
ing, she decided she would not attend
another till the house was either
painted or she could say with truth
that she expected it would be.

had asked in vain. First, John must
have a new barn, for "a merciful man
is merciful to his beast" and then he
must have a new binder for it would |
save half the time, and he would need |
but one man.
In vain she told him the house
leaked, in vain she told of the peeling
paint, in vain she bewailed the new
rag carpet ruined by the dripping
water, and said how tired she was of
setting pals, and how afraid even to
go to the nearest neighbor for fear of
a sudden shower and no. one at home
to attend to it.

her ears, and the poor woman, tired

1t did" Then he remembered his last
remark to her, that she could go to the
| poorhouse if she wanted to, he didn't.
She had taken him at his word.
just at dusk, the keeper of the poor
house drove up, and, stopping before
the house, said to the man sitting on
the doorstep: Hello, Weeks, met with
| reverses?"
mo, not specially. Why?"
wal, Mis- Weeks she cum up an
talked with my wife alone, and asked
If she might stay and help her spell,
an my wife's real glad she's come, cos
she does think your wife knows leetle
the most about doin' pickles an things
of anybody round, an she put her in
the spare room, an sent me down to
see YOU"
John chewed a straw vigorously
while he wondered what Mr.. Grove
thought, and what excuse he, one of
the largest tax payers in town, could
make for sending his wife to the poor
house. He tried to seem perfectly
easy as he said: oval, the fact is,
told her she could 60 I'm goin' ter
hev the house shingled and painted,
an thoughts longs the smell o. paint
makes her sick, I'd git her out of the
way; but / 'xpect she'll be some
s'prised, cos didn't let on that was
goin' ter hev it done"
"All right, neighbor, I won't say
nothin' bout it," and turning the
horse he drove away, but he wondered.
and muttered to himself that "'twas
curis doin's, and he bet there was
suthin' that he warn't told"
However, the next time he passed the !
Weeks place, there were men at work |
on the roof, and men painting the |
kitchen inside, and he thought the |
front room was being papered. but he
could not quite tell.
Meanwhile Vina was homesick, and |
though she went into the end room
and looked out on the meadow that |
she knew reached her home just out of |
sight beyond the woods, it only made
the tears come faster, and she won
dered if she couldn't have stood the
leaks and the pealing paint little
longer, and then, perhaps, she might
have coaxed John.
John was homesick- too. and hurried

made jokes among themselves about his
Impotence. The home was not home
with Vina gone, and he thought per-
haps she might get SO used to living In
a big house that she would never again
care for the little house she had called
home SO long.
With fear and trembling he harnessed
the horse, put on his best suit Of
clothes and started for the poorhouse.

ton she's going ter live in that big

Mebbe if | told her I'd build house
next year, she'd come" So he tried to
go over all the arguments he would
use with the woman who was more
ready to return than he could possibly
be to have her.
She sat on the back porch knitting,
when Mrs. Grove called her to answer
the doorbell, for her hands were in the
bread. John Weeks argument fed,
for Malvina threw her arms around his
neck and sobbed:
1--WE been so lonesome, oh, joint"
And he patted her shoulder and said:
"So've l, Why, so've l."
Then when she could think she said,
with a curious expression on her face:
Have You come to stay?"

anything-I'n build house If you'll
only come back to live. Miss Smith

And he said very grufiy: ut was all

She does not look longingly at the
zig poorhouse now, and John never
nentions it. Malvina has had the sew

Sidewalk Performances Feature of the
Streets of Washington.
The colored children of Washington
are an endless source of amusement to
the strangers who sees them for the
first time and has an opportunity to
study their characteristics. The genius
of dance is in their nimble feet, saws
Washington writer, and they seem to
possess an instructive sense of time, for
they all dance, and dance remarkably
well.
Any evening in the vicinity of one of
the large hotels, when the strains of
hand organ furnish the music, half
dozen or more dusky children, ranging
in years from five to fourteen or fifteen,
will come running round street corners,
breathless and oblivious of everything
but the music. A crowd of the curious
gathers, but the children-m many of the
children-have their yellow toes thrust
through the end of their shoes, and
their little skirts, torn and dirty, hang
loose about little legs that sometimes
have one stocking and sometimes only
a remnant upon each limb. Their eyes
glisten and sparkle as they listen to
the strains ground out by the olive
son of Italy, and the little
feet pat the curbstone affectionately.
The 1.-THE bodies sway, and with the
change in time they begin to dance
with grace rarely seen on the stage
Their souls are in their work, and from
the smallest to the largest they feel the
desire to excel.
