Heain’t been to breakiast yet, I see. We had ours halfan hour ago. I know my mother used to say that if anybody lost an heur in the mornin’, they might case it all day, and not ke'ch up with it then to be very large,” she added, in re. ply to Saliy’> doubtful look. **On- ly the minister aud his wite,—and yuu can bake it in that smallest yal- ler dish.”’ ‘Now, I’m going up stairs look over them rags, an’ you inake it an’ bake it right off so’s I can send it over by the deacon. He’s got ter go out ter the corner this at- ternvon, and can take it along as well ter as not.’” She bustled outof the door, but the next moment, seized perhaps wih a sudden gang of compunction, she put her head in again, to say warningly : ‘ide Sure vou put in a good par- cel of gravy; that'll keep it from be ing dry, it ’tis half giblets.’” “Yes’m’’ answered Sally, _brisk- lv; and catching up the rolling-pin she breught it down with emphasis uponalump of dough upon the mould board. As the stairway door closed be- hind her mistress, Sally dropped the rolling pin, and a leok ut perplexity crept over her dull face, making it tentimes more stolid than usual, while che repeated, in ludicrcus be wilderment: ‘*Giblets! What, in all’ creation, 1{ anybody can tell me, dees she mean by them? involuntarily she took a step for- ward, but checked herself as quickly while a cunning smile replaced the look of perplexity, and she muttered tiiumphantly: : ty 1icu pastry though, fora chicken pie! Idon’t never put much short- nin’ im anything of that kind; it’s lich enougn mside ter make up. But you're young, an’ have got « good many things to learn yet. I run ie tu see it you could spare me @ cup ot yeast; mime soured. and the lest batch of bread I made I had ter throw ter the hegs.’” “Certainly,’’ and a roguish sale flitted over the fair face of the minis- ter’s wife, at thie specime et her meddle seme neighbor’s own econo- my. But she had learned a rare let- ter et judicious silence, «nd teking the cup that Miss Patience produced trom beneath he: shewl, she bade her visitor be seated while she left the roem to get the desired article. As ner steps died away, Miss Pa- tience nosielessly arose from her seat and approaching the dresser upon which the pie steod, peered curous- ly intu the apertures in the crust, her sharp face expressing eage: curiosi- ty. e “I'll bet @ ninepence she dide’t know enough ter put crackers in. I wish’t I ceuld get one leok, just to satisfy my own mind.”’ she added. And determimed to accomplish her object at all hazards, she ran a kmfe dettly around a small portiom ot the edge, and inserting four inquistive fingers, hfted the brown crust and took a glimpse of the contents. “I guess I ain’t agoin’ ter contess my ignorance tethe deacon’s wife and let her have her say, as she al- ways docs. ‘Two terms to the ’cad- emy, Sally, and not knew that?’ No ma’am, not while there is a diction- ary in the house !’* So, softly creepimg into the adjoin- ing sitting-room, Sally hastily open- ed a big dictionary on the deacon’s writing desk, ana began her search for the mysterious word. “G-i-e—here 'tS!’? and she read aloud to herselt, with am air of tri- umph, the following definition: “Those verts uf a fuwl that are remuve@ before cooking—the heart, ‘gizzerd liver &c.”’ A look of unmitigated disgust passed over her face. Dropping in- to a convenient chair, she actually groaned aloud. “Weil, [never! an’ we payin’ that man $500 a year, beside adona- tien party at Christmas. Gugh!”’ Unsuspicvious Mrs. Graham, as she returned with the yeast, was some- what puzzled by the sudden trosti- ne s of her gue, who hurried out of th: house as f 0 e d-cedful con- ta ion ad hauntedit; but when the minister, in carving the pie that the deacon’s wite had sen, made two curious discoveries elmost simultan- cously, the rewson for Patience’s al- tered demeanor was made plain, and the young pair hed a hearty laugh that made the old parsonage ring like a peal of Thenkegiving velis. ‘The Tuesday tollewing was the regular day tor the weekly sewing- circle, end seldom had that interest- ing gathering proved so lovely and animated es on this occasion. Miss Patience was inthe field bright and eariv, and it was evident ata glance to those who knew her best that she was well nigh bursting with some important secret that she was only waiting a fitting epportuni- ty te divulge. That opportunity to divulge. That opportunity was net long in coming, tor Mrs. Dea.

Well, thatisrath- er ‘steep.” as Dan Watson weuid say. But I guess the deacon’s wite knows, if she don’t, ’taint none of my busmess, Six hearts! Them’s small, end tuck into the corners han- dy. Six livers! Seems ter me they don’t fil! up much,” and she glanced with # perplexed air, at a pile of de meded chicken bones that formed her only resource. ‘New, I wonder,’’ with a sudden inspiraties, ‘what that‘andso forth,’ means? Hero's ‘heerts, gizzards aad lieers,’ plenty ot "em, but no “and ee forth,’ end the pieain’t more than two thirds full yet.
