She made no reply, but calmly pointed to a fig- trec in the distance. A Pennsylvania tramp aceepted a job to saw two cords of woou, and did it in good style. The Mauch Chunk miracle will have to take a back seat. “Did Inot give you a florging the other day " asked a schoolmaster of a trembling boy. “Yes, sir,” answered the boy. * Well, what do the Scriptures say upoz the subject?’ 1 don’t Know, sir,” sald the boy. “except it is in that paseaere which avs, It is more blessed to give than to receive? ?

After the boys had gathered themselvesup and were re- turning up the hill, the minister stopped and cengared them in conversation as to the speed in which they made the descent. One of the little boys, becoming excited upou the subject of con- versation, and desiring to lei the minister know how fast they really did slide down, said: * We came down like a buzz-wheel from Hell.” Brother K. retired.

One afternoon as [ was hurrying down Broad- way to cateh the 5 o'clock train, I met Water- ford. Heisanold friend of mine, and Iused to Jike bim pretty well. “Hello! ™ said he, *“where are you golng?” “Iome,” I answered. “Is that 502" said he. nad one.” 1was alittle nettled at this, and so I said, somewhat brusquely, perhaps: *But you must have known I lived some- where.” s “Oh, yes! But Ithought you boarded,” said he. - #1had no idea that you nad a home.” “But I have one, and a very pleasant home, too. “You must excuse me for uot stopping longer, as I must catch my train.?” #0n! I'll walk along with you,” said Water- ford, and so we went down the strect together. «Where is your little housc” be asked. Why in the'world he thought ft was a little house 1 could not at the time imagine, unless e supposed that two people would not require alarze one. But I know, now, that he lived in a very little house himself. But it was of no use gettiog angry with Waterford, especially as I saw he intended walking all the way down to the ferry with me, so Ltold nm I didn't live in any house at all. - “Why, where do you live? he exclaimed, stopping short. ] live in a boat,’ said 1. “Aboat! A sort of ‘Rob Roy? arrangement, 1 suppose. Well, I would not have thodsht that of you, And your wife, I suppose, has gonc home to her peopled”? . “She has done nothing of the kind,” I an- swered. 8he lives with me, and she likes it very much. We are estremely comfortable, and our boat is not & canoe, or any such non- sensical affuir. It is a large, commodious canal-boat.” 3 Waterford turned around and looked at me. * Are you a deck-hand?”’ he asked. # Deck-grandmother 1Y T exclaimed. “Well, you needn’t get mad about it,” he said, “Ididn’t mean to hurt your feclings; but I couldn’t see what else you could be on a canal-boat. Idon’t suppose, for instance, that you're Captain.”” 7 “But Lam,” said L. sLook bere!” caid Waterford;. “this is coming it rather strong, isn’t it¢? As 1 saw e was getting angry, T told him all about 1t,—told him how we hait hired a stranded canal-boat nird had fitted it up as a house, and how we lived so cosily in it, and had called it “Rudder Granze,” and how we had taken a boarder. ) *Wel!” said he, “this is certainly: surpris-' ing. 1’m coming out to ece you somie day, It will be better than zoiuzx to Barnum’s.” I told him—it the way of society—that we would be glad to see him, and we parted. Watertord never did gome to see us, and I mereiv mention this Incident to show how our friends talked aboui Rudder Grange, when they first heard that we lived there, After dinner that evening, when I went upon deck with Euplemia t6 have my smoke, we saw the boarder sitting on the bulwarks “I did not know you near the garden, with bis legs dangling down outslde. “ Look here!” said e. Tlooked, but there was nothing unusual to sce. “What is it I asked.

The truth was, that the boarder was right and was _wrong. We had spent soveral wonths 4t Rudder Grange, and during this time Eupbemia had becn working very hard, and she really did begin to look pale and thin, Indeed, itwould be very wearying for any woman of culture and refinément, unused to housework, to cook and care for two men, aud do all the work of a canal-hoat besides. But I saw Euvhemia so constantly, and thought so much of Ler, and had_ber fmage so continually in my heart, that { did not notice this until our boarder now called my attention toit. I was sorry that he bad to do it. “If I were in your place,” said he, “I would get her a servant.”? “If you were in my place,” I replied, some- what cutinely, * you wonld probably suzncst a lot of hittle thinrs which would make every- thing very casy for her?"” 17 try to,” he answered, without getting in the least nng\iy. . Although I felt annoyed that he had sug- gested it, stilt I made up my mind that Eu- phemia must have a servant. She agreed. quite readily when T proposed the plan, and she urzed me to go and see the car- penter that very day, and get bim to come and partition off a little room for the eirl. It was some time, of course, hefore the room was made (for wha ever heard of a carpenter coming at the very time Le was want- ed?), and, when it was fiuisticd, Euphemia oceu- pled all her spare moments in getting it in nice rder for the servant when she shoutd come. 1 thought she was takinz too much trouble, but she had her own ideas about guch things. “ 11 a girl 13 lodged Iike a pig, you must ex- pect her to behave like a pig, qpd 1 dow’t want that kind.” - : So she put up pretty curtains at the girl’s window, and, with & box that she stood on end, and some old muslin and a lot of tacks, she made a toilet-table 8o neat and conven- ient, I thought that she ought to take it into our room, and give the servant our.wash-stand. But all this time we bad no'girl and as I bad ‘mede up my mind abont the matter, T naturally erew impatient, and at Jast 1 determined to go and get agirl myself, z T e Sn, one day at lunch-time, I went to'an jntel- ligence office in the city.

I kuew our, wash-tubs were not stationary, for I had helped to carry them apout. But they might be screwed fast and made stationary .if that Was an- import- ant object. But, béfore making this answer, Ithought of the great convenicnces for washing presented by our residence, surrounded gs it was, at high tide, by water. “Why, we live in a statfonary wash-tub,” I said, smiling. The woman looked at me steadfastly for a minute, and then she rose to her fect. Then she called out, as if she were crying fish or strawberries: “Mrs. Blaine!” The female keeper of the intelligence: office, and the male keeper, and a thin_derk, and all the women in the back-room, and all the patrons in the front-room, jumped up and gathered around us. ' Astonished, and somowhat disconcerted, T rose to my feet.and confrouted the tall Irish- woman, and stood smiling in an upcertain sort of a way, asif it werc all very funny; but I couldn't see the point. I think I must have impressed the people with theldea that I wished I hadn’t come. w He says,” exclaimed the woman, as if some other huckster were crying fish on the other sidc of the street—*‘he says he lives in a wash- toob.” “Tle's crazy!? cjaculated Mrs. Blaine, with an air that indicated * policeman * as plainly as il she had put her thoueht Into words.

I dian’t think so either. What on earthwould Euphemia have done with that voleanie Irish- woman in her little kitchen! I took up my hat and bade Mrs. Blaine good morning. *“ Good morning,” said she, with o distressing smile. “She had one of those mouths that look ex- actly lile o gash in the face. Twent home without a girl. - In a day or two Euphemia came to town and ot one. ~ Appar- ently she got her without any trouble, but I am not sure. Sne went toa * Home,”—Saint Somebody’s Home,—a place where they keep orphans to let, go to speak, Here Euphemia selected a light- hsfred, medium-sized orphan, and brought her home. The girl’s name was Pomona. Whether or not her parents gave her this name is doubtful. At any rate, she did not secm quite decided in her mind about it herself, for she had not been with us more than two weeks before she express- cd a desire to be called Clare. This longing of her licart, however, was denied her. So Eupaemia, who was always corrcet, called her Pomona. did the same whenever 1 coald think not to say Bologna—which seemed to come very pat for some reason or other. = As for the boarder, he always calls her Al- toona, connecting Lier in some way with the pro- ‘eess of stopping for refreshments, in which she was ao adept. She was an earnest, hearty girl. She was al- ways in & zood humor, and when I asked her to do snything she assented in a bright, cheerful way, aud in a loud tone full of good-fellowship, as though she would say: “ Certainly, my hieh ald cock! To be sure I will. Don't worry about it—give your mind no more uncasiness on that subject. 1’11 bring the hot water.” She did not know very much, but she was delighted. to learn, aud she was very strong. Whatever Euphemia told her to do, she dfd instantly, with a bang. What pleased her better than anything else was to run up and down the gang-plank, carrying buckets of water to water the garden. She'delighted in out-door work, and sometimes dug so vigorously in our garden that she brought up f)icces of the deck- planking with every shovelful, Gur boarder took the greatest interest in her, and sometimes watched her movements so intently that he let his pipe go out. “\What 8 whacking girl that would be to tread out grapesiv the vimeyards ol ltaly! She’d make wine cheap,” he once remarlked. ¢Then I'm plad she {s’t there,” said Euphe- mia, *tor wine oughtu’t to be cheap.” Tuphemia was a thorough little temperance woman. The one thing about Pomona that troubled me more than anything else was ber taste for literature. It was not literature to whichI objected, but her verv peculiar taste. She would read in the kitchen every night after she had_ washed the dishes, but it she had ot read aloud it would not have'made so much differ- cuce to me. But Iam naturally very sensitive to external imuressions, and I do not like tre company of people who, like our irl, cannot rend without pronouucing in o measured and distinct voiee every word of what they are read- ing. And when the matter thus read appeals to one's every sentiment of aversion, and there i’ no way of escaping it, the casc is hard indeed. .From the first, I felt inclined to order Pomona, if she could not attain the power of sllent. perusal, to cease from reading altogetiier; but Etphemis would not hear $o this. i Poor thing! " said she; it would be cruel to take from her her only recreation. And she says she can’t read any other way, You ncedn't Jisten 1f you don’t want to.” That was all very well in an_abstract point of view; but the fact was, that‘in practice, the more I didn’t want to listen, the more t heard. As the evenings were often eool, we sat in our dining-room, and the partition between this room and the kitchen secmed to have no influ- ence whatever in arresting sound. So that when T was trying to read or to reflect, it was by uo means exhilarating to my mind to bear from the next room that: *The la-dy ce-scl-i-n now si-zed the weep-on and_ailthough the boor-ly villy-an re-tain-cd his vi-gor-ous hold she drew thé blade through bis fin-zers and hoorl-ed it far be-hind her dryp- ping with jore.” “This sort of thing, kept up for an hour or so at'a time; used to drive me nearly wild. But Euphemia didn’t mind it. 1 believe that she had so delicate o sense of what was proper, that she did not hear Pomona’s private resd- ings. On onc oceasion, even Euphemia’s influence could scarcely restrain me. from violent inter- ference. 1t was our boarder’s night out (when he was detained in town by his business), and Pomona was sitting up to 1ct him in. This was necces- gary, tor our front-door (or main hatehway) had no night-latch, but was fastened by means of a bolt. Euphemia end I used to sit up for him, but that was earlier tn the season, when it was pleasant to be out on deck until quite o late hour. But Pomona never objected to sitting (or getting) up lat¢, and 50 we allowed this weelkly duty to devolve on her. On tais particular night I was very tired and slcepy, and soon after I got into bed I dropped into a delightful slumber. But it was not long before Iwas awakened by the fact thag: *‘Sa-rah didnot fl-inch but gras-bed the heat-ed Jdron in her un-iv-jur-ed hand and when the ra-bid an-i-mal a-proach-ed she thr-ust the lur-id po-ker in his—" ¢ My conscience! ¥ gaid I to Euphemia, “can’t that girl be stopped” *“You wouldn’t haye her sit there and do nothing, would youi™ satd she. “Xo; but shé ncedn’t read out that way.” “She can’t read any other way,” said Eu- ‘phemia, drowsily. “Yell atter yell res-oun-ded as he wil-dly Spr-ranga—*7 I “Lcan't stand that, and T won’t,” said 1. *Why don’t she go iuto the kitchen?—the ain- in®-room’s no place for her.” ‘‘She can’t sit there,” satd Eunphemin. ‘“There's a window-pane out.

During the early. part of our residence at Rudder Grange I never thourht of such a thing as owning a pistol. But it was different now. I kept a Colt’s revolver loaded in_the bureau drawer in our bed-room. . .** A - The cause of - this changre was bu: that any of these unpleasant persons us, but we much feared thev would. Several houses in. the vicinity had been entered during the past month, and we could never, tell-when our turn would come. ‘To be sure, our boarder sugeésted that” if we were.to anchor outa little further. at night, no burglar would risk catching his death of cold by swimming out: to us; but Euphemin_having replfed, that 16 would be rather difficult to move 'a canal-boat every night witbout paddle-wheels, or sails, or mules, especiaily if it were aground, this plan was con- sidered to be effectually disposed of. So we made up our minds thut we mustfasten up everything very sccurely, and I bouzhta pistol and two burglar-glarms. One of these I aftixed to the most exposed window, aud the- other to the door which opeaed on the deck. These alarms were very simple affairs, but they were good enough. When they were praperly attached to a window or door, and it was open- ed; alittle gong sounded like a violently de- ged clock, striking all the minutes of the day. av once. . 5 The window did not trouble us much, but it was rather irksome to have to make the at- tachment to the door every night and to take it off every morning. However, as Euphemia said, it was better to take a little trouble than to have the ‘house full of burglars, which wus true evough. . ; ‘We made wl the necessary arrangements in case burglurs should make an fnroad upon us. At the first sound of the afarm, Euphemia and” the girl were to lic flat on the floor- or get under their * -beds.’ Then the boarder and I were' to stand up. back to back, each with pistol in hand, and fire away, revolving on o common centre the while, In this way, by afming horizontally at about four feet from the floor, we could rake the premises, and run no riskof shooting each bther or the women of the family. ‘To be sure, there were some objections to this plan. The boarder’s room was at some dis- tance from ours, and he would proba- bly mnot hear the alarm, and the burg- lars might not be willing to wait: while I went forward and_roused him u%, and brouzht him to our part of the house. But this was a minor difliculty. I had no doubt but that, {f it shonid be necessary, 1 could manage to get our bourder into position in plenty of time. 1t was not very lonf before there was an op- ‘portunity of testing the plan. About 12 o’clock one night one of the atarms (that on the Kitchen window) went off with o whirr and a wild succession of clan; For o moment 1 thousht the morning ti n had ar- rived, and then I woke up. Euphemis . was al- ready under the bed. . 1 hurried on o few clothes, and then I tried to find the burcau iu the dark. This was not casy, as | lost my bearings cutirely. But I found it at last, got the top drawer open and took out my- pistol. Then I slipped . out of the room, hurricd up the stairs, opened the ~door (sctting off the alarm there, by the way), and ran along the deck (there was acold night wind), and hastily descended the steps that led into the boarder’s room. The door that Wwas at the bottom of the steps was not fustened, and, as I opened it, a little stray moonlight ilumed tho room, I hastily stenped to the bed and shook the boarder by the shoul- der. Iie kept Ais pistol under his pillow. In an’instant be was on his fect, his hand sped my throat, and the cold muzzie of his erringer pistol wasat my forchead. It was an awlully big muzzle, like the mouth of a bottle. 1 don’t know when I lived so long-as during the first minute that he beld me thus. +‘Rasca1!”” be said. “Do as much as breathe, and I'll pull the trigger.” I didu’t hreathe. 1 had an accident insurance on mylife. Would it bold good in a case like this? Or would Eu- phiemia have to go back to her father? He pushed me back into the little patch of moonlight. % sl . *ON! js it youd” he said, relaxing his grasp. & \Vhat do you want? A mustard plaster?” e bad o package of patent plasters in his room. You took one and dipped itin hot water, and it was all ready. 4No," said I, zasping a little. *‘Burglars.” QN he said, and he pite down his pistol and put ob lis clothes, “Come slong,” he said, and away we went over the deck. When we reached the stairs a1l was dark and mict below. : lt w;s a matter of hesitancyas to going down. . Istarted to go down first, but the boarder held me back. +Let mo go down,” be said. # No.” sald 1, * my wife is there.” “ That's the very reason you should not go,” lesaid. *She IS sae emough yet, and they would fire only at aman. 1t would be s bad job for her if you we-e killed. I’il go down.” So he went down slowly and cautiously, his pistol in vne band, aud bis life in the other, asit ere. W"\r‘ih:n hie reuched the bottom of the steps I chaneed my mind. I could not remafn above while thie burglar aod Euphemia were below, so ollowed. : gl'he Doarder was standing in the mid- dle-of the dining-room, into which the stairs led. I could not see him, but I put my hand nueainst him as I was teeling my way across the flvor. s I whispered to him: B Slml? we putour backs together and revolve fire i No,’" he whispered back. “not now; he may be on @ sheli by this time, or under a table. Let’s look him up.” I confess that I was not very auxious to look 1im up, but I toliowed the bodrder, as he slow- Iy made his way toward the Kitchen-door. As e opencd the door we instinctively stopped. ‘The window was open, and by the light of the moon that shone in, We saw the raseal standing on a chair, feaning out of the window, evidently just ready to escape. Fortunately, we were un- heard. S 3 “Let’s pull him in,” whispered the boarder. “No,” 1 whispered in reply. “We dou’t want him in. Let's boist him out.” « All right,” returned the boarder. We laid our pistols on_the floor, and softly approached the window. Befog barefooted, our steps were noiscless. ) **Hoist when ‘I count three,” breathed the boarder juto my ear. We reachied the chair. Each of us took hold of two of its legs. i ‘Oue—two—threc!” sald the boarder, and togetuer we gave atremendous lift and shot the wretch out of the window. The tide was high, and there was a good deal of water around the boat. We heard a rousing splash outside. Now there was no need of silence. “Shall we run ondeck and shoot him as he swims?? he cried. “ No,” said the boarder, “we’ll get the boat- hook, and jab him i{ he tries to climb up."” We rushed on deck. I seized the ‘boat-hook and looked over the side. But I saw 1o one. “ 11¢’s gonce to the bottom!” I exelaimed. “He didn't o very far then,” suid the boarder, *“for it’s not more thn tio teet deep there.”” Just then our attention was attracted by a voice from the shore. * Will you please let down the gang-plank?®? We looked ashore and'there stood’ Pomona, drinping from every pore. We spoke no words, but lowered the gang- plank. i ¥ 3 She came aboard. i -I‘)Czluud night!”’ said the boarder, and he went o0 bed. “Pomona!? said I, doing?™ 1 was lookin’ at the moon, sir, the chair bounced, and out I went.” “You shouldn't dothat,” I said sternly. “Some day yow'll be drowned. - Take off your wet things and go to bed.” § i*Yes, smu’am—sir, I mean,” said she, and she went down-stairs. When I reachicd my room I lighted the lamp, and found Euphemia still under the bed. [ : s il‘x,z.ll{ right?” she as_l;ed, 4 “ Yes,” L answered, * There was no burglar. Pomond fell ut of the wiadow."

An important-fact in domestic_economy was discovfred about this time by Euphemia and, wyself. discoverit, but we certainly did find it out,— and this fact was that housekeeping cost money. At the end of every week we counted up our expenditures—it was no trouble at all to count up our receipts—and every week the result was more unsatisfactory. ‘- If we cunld onlibzet rid of the disagreeable balance that-has to'be taken alone all the time, and which gets bizger and bleger like o snow- ball, I think we would find the’ accounts more satisfactory,’” said Euphemia. This was on Saturday night.- We always got out our pencils, and paper, and money at the end of.the week. ““Yes,” said I, with an attempt to- appear fa- . cetious and unconcerned, “but it would all be well enough if we could take that snowsball to the fire and melt it down?” - 3 “ But there never is any-fire.where there- are -snow-balls,” said Euphemia.” e **No," said I, “and that’s just the trouble.” 2s. on the following Thursday, when I came home in the eyening, that Euphemin met me with a' glowing face. 1t rather sarprised me to sec her look so happy, for she had been very qulet ‘and preoccupied for the first part of the week. 8o much so, indeed; that I had -thouzht of orderini smaller roasts.for a week or two, and taking her to a Thomas ‘concert with the money saved. ‘But this evening she looked as if she didv’t need Thomass orchestra.’ *“What_makes you so brizht, my dear?? said I, when I had &rceted her. ¢Has anything Jjolly happened #? N “No," said she; *nothing 'yat, but I am go- ing to make a fire to elt snov-balls.” > - Of course I was Very anxious to know how she was golng to do i, but she could not tell me. It was a plan. tiat she intended to keep to herself until she saw how it worked. . Idid not press her, because she had so few secrets, aud I did not hear anything about this plan un- til it had been carried put. 5= Her scheme was a follows: After thinking over our financial condition and ‘puzzling her brain to find out some way of betteriug it, shc bad come to the couclusion that she would make some money by her own exertions, to hellp detray our household expenses. She never bad made auy money, but that was to reason why she should not begin. It was too bad that L should have to toil and toil and not make nearly cnongh roney after all. So she would go to work and earn money with her own bands. e - 8he” had - heard of an establishment in the city, where ladics of limitca means, or tran- siently Impecunious, could, in a very %un:z and private way, “get sewing to do. They could thus provide for their needs without any one but the oflicers of the instlrution knowinz suything about if. - So Euphemia went to this place, and she got some work. Itias not a very laree bandle, Dbut it was larger than she was accustomed to carry, and, what was perfectly dreadful, it was wrapped-up in a newspaper! ~ When Euphemia told me the story, she saidéthat this was too much for her courage. She could not go on the cars, and perhaps meet people belonging to our church, with 2 newspaper bundle’ under her arm. S But her zenius for expedients saved her from this humiliation. She nad to purchase some sewing-cotton and some other little thinas, and when she had bought them she handed her bundle to the woman bebind the counter and asked her if she would not be so %ood asto bave that wrapped uo wwith the other things. It was a good deal to ask, she knew, and the woman smiled, for the articles she bad bought would not muke a package as large as her hand. How- ever, ber request was complied with, and she took away a very decent package, with the card of the store stamped on the outside. I suppose that there are not more than half a dozen peo- ple in this countrg who would refuse Euphetnia anything that she would be willing to asi for. So shc took the work home, and she Jabored faithfully at it for about a week. She did not suppose that it would take her so long; but she was very much atraid that she would not do it neatly enough. Besides this, she could only, work on it in the daytime,—when I was ava and was, of course, Interrupted a great deal by her orainary household duties, and the necessi- ties of a careful oversight of Powmona’s some- what erratic methods of aolug her work. But at last she finished the job and took it into the city. She did not want to spend any more money on the trip than was absolutely necessary, and 50 was very elad to find that she had aremnant of pockét-money suflicient to Eny her fare both ways. ‘When she reached the city, she walked up to the place where her work was to be delivered, and fouud it much farther when she went on’ foot thau it had seemed to her riding in the street cars. She banded over her bundle to the prover person, aod, as it w2a soon examined and approved, she received her pay therefor. 1t amounted to 60 cemts. She had made no bargain, but. she was s little aston- ished. However. she said notbing, but left the place without asking for any more work. In fact. she forrot. all about it. “She Lad an idea that everything was all wrong, aod that idea en- grossed licr mind entirely. There was no mis- take about the sum paid, for the lady clerk bad referred to the printed table of prices when she calculated the amount due. But something was wrong, and, at the momeut, Euphemia could wot tell what 1t was. She left the place, and started to walk back to the ferry. But she was so tired, and weak, and hungry—it was now an hour or two past her rezular lunch-time—that she thonght sbe should faint if she did not o someswhere and zet some refreshments. * So, like & sensible little woman as she’ was,, she went into a restaurant. She sat down af a table. and a waiter came to her to sce what she- would bave, She was not accustomed to eating- houses, and perhaps this was the first time that she had ever visited oncalone. What she want- ed was something simple—just a Inuch. 5o she ordered a cup of tea and some rolls, and a picce of chicken. The lunch wasa very good one, and Euphemia enjoyed it. When she bad finished, she went -up to the counter to scttle. Her bill was just 60 cents. She paid. the money sne had just received, ond walked down to the ferry—ail in o daze, she snid.. When she ot Lome she thousbt it over, and theu she cried. After o while she dried her eyes, and when T cawe home she totd me all about it. “Igive it up,” she said. ‘I don’t believe I can help you any.” . Poor little thing! I took her in my arms and comforted her, and before bed-time I had con- vinced her that she was fully able . to help me better tnan any ouc clse on carth, and that ‘ithout puzzling her braing about business, or wearing herself out by sewing for pay. So we went on in our old way, and by kecping our attention on our weekly. balance, we pre- vented it from growing very rapidly. We fell back ou our philosophy (it was all the capital we had), and became ns calm and con- tented as circumstances allowed. & Euphemia begen to take a great deal of com- fort in her girl.” Every evening she had some new instance to relate of Pomonsa’s inventive abilities and apiness fu adupting hersel! to the peeuliarities of our method of housekeeping. “Only to think!” said she, one afternoon, “Pomona has just done another very smart thing. You know what a trouble it has always been for us to carry all our waste water up stairs, and throw it over the bulwarks. Well, that girl las remedied atl that. She has cut a ice little low window in the sidcof the kitchen, and has made a shutter of the pieceshe cat out, with Ieather hinges to it, and now she can just open this window, throw the water out, shut it agrain, and there it is! -I tell you she’s smart.” ‘*Yes: therc isno doubt of that,” I said; ““ but I think that there is dunger of her taking more interest In such extraordinary and povel duties than in the rezular work of the honse.’ *Now, don't discourage the mirl, my dear,” she said, *‘for she is of the greatest use to me, and ¥ don’t want .you to be throwing cold water about like scme neoole.” ‘“Not evea if I throw it ont of Pomona’s rittle door, I suppose.” “No. Don’t throw it at all. Encourage people. What would the world be if eversbody chilled aur aspirations an extraordinary efforts? Like Fulton's steamboat.” “All right,” T sald; “I'Nl not discourage her.”? It was now getting late in the season. It was quite too cool to sit out on deck in the. evening, and our garden pegan to look desolate. % Our boarder had whecled up a lot of fresh earth, aud had prepared a Iarge bed, in which he had planted turnips. They were an excellent 1all crop, be assured us, From being simply cool it began to be rainy, and the weather grew decidedly unpleasant. But our boarder bade us toke courage. This was the ‘‘equinoctial,” and when it was over there would be a delightful Indian summer, and the turnips would erow nicely. o This sounded vers.well, but the wind blew up very cold at night, and there was a great deal of , unpleasant rain. ne uight it blew what Pomona called a “whirlicanie,” and we went to ed very early to keep warm.” We heard our boarder on deck in | the garden after we were in bed, and Euphemia. srgld elle!cnn]d not l?:a;:inc !;\'lmt. he was about, unless he was anchoring his turni them from blowing away: pato:ledp During the night I had a dream.

We were in the Kkitchen, trylug to take the stove apart (the boarder was sure we could carry it up, if we could get the pive out and the legs and doors off),. when we heard a crash. We rushedon deck and found that the garden had fallea m! Making our way as well as we could toward the Zapiug rent in the deck, we saw that the tur- nip-bed had gone down bocily into the boarder's room.

At length he spoke. *eIf we had time,” he sald, ‘‘we migit comd down here and pick out a lot of tarnips.” “But, how abont your furmturet” I ex- claimed. 1 “-On, that’s rained!
