Mr. Austin had always had a pteas ant word aud a Kinile for her; Miss HorUftM was the realistic of hsr ideas of an augel and they are laughing about her. Lucy stood a minute with her giett eyes brimming over, her lower lip tightly clusped by peail-whito teeth. "Job, said she, ut last, "my bucket is full. I think I'll go home." "What, a'ready?" cried Job. 'Yes," said Lucy. "May'he, Aunt Jennings wants me. I'd better go.

"illessme, child!" said Mrs. Jennings. "Didn't I tell you could stay till sun down. "I I didn't want to," said Lucy, And she rushed up-staiia to hex room, and cried until she could cry no longer. Miss Heritage "liked pretty people and pretty things,'' and she (Lucy) was "hiicIi a figure!" She had not known it before. She had thought her calico dresa with the black start upon it, was beautiful, and nho had innocently rejoiced in tbe brown ribbon hew for her neck,, that had been her uncle's own present. And then Lucy looked in the little six-iuch glass, and realized how brown, how unkept, and gipsy-like she was how dissimilar was het drew from Miss Heritage's soft laees and floating rib bonloops.

"I knew that it has been stolen, u- , wiah you would send for the o lice at once." Of course there ws no one u)on whom suapicion could fall but Lucy poor, friendless, orphaned Lucy! Not exaotly friendless, either, for Mr. Aus tin quietly declared that it wss quite impossible that, she could hare com milted a crime like this. "1 have known her ever since she came to Maple Farm," snid he. "She is a member of my Hihle chui She never did it!" And Mis. Jenning4 valiantly aeacrt ed that "she wouldn't never believe no such thing of Lucy, as never yet much as took a pin a wrsn't her "' "You are all infatuated about that girl," raid Laura, petulantly. "Who else rould have Uken itt" "But surely, Miss Heritage," pleaded Mr. Austin, "you will not prosecute the oor thingt You will (ive soor Lucy the benefit of tbe duuhtt" "I do not see that there is any dou'oi," sid Laura, stilly, "and my pear ting must be returned."

No; it wss quite true, Mr. Austin was completely disenchanted with tke dimpled snd rock -heat ted Laura. And when he did marry, three yeara after wards, the brides name was simple "Lucy."

TlHS.AoNfA American Review for May contains a striking article by the Hon. David Dudley Field on "Centralization In the Federal Goverment." That our polity la rapidly advancing in the direction of centralization is demonstrated by the author; but whether centralization is really a formidable evil or only a bugbear is a question which men will probably continue to decide according to their several political predilections. Whatover the reader's bias, Mr. Field's paper will command his respectful attention, and it will be read with interest and profit. The second article is upon the new revision of the Bible, by tho Rev. Dr. Schaff, of the American Committee of Rovhdon. Mr. Justice Strong write.-, of "The Needs of the Supfeiae Court, "and ad vocatetheestablishment of a court of appeals, intermediate between the U.S. Supreme Court and the circuit courts. The Hon. George Q. Cannon, the first advisor of the President of the Mormon Church, and delegate to Congress, makes a vigorous defence of "Utah and its People." The question, f Shall Americans build Ships?" i considered by Mr. John Roach, the ship-builder, who brings forward a large number of facts to prove that the people of the United States must build ships if they would hold a plaeej among :n ultimo nations. - The other articles are "The Life-Saving Service," by tbe Hon. 8. S. Cox; "The Ruius of Central America," by M. Charnay; and finally an attack on evolution .philosophy, written in a vein of thn finest irony, and entitled, "What Morality Have We Left?" On tbe 29th tilt, the whole of the village of Mount Morris, Michigan, was burned. Loss very large. The town is almost wiped out. 1881. Til DKfKimu niHuvth. "i'vo been a fool!" growled Harper yeaterday as he untied a parrel in his front yard and shoak out a new ham mock. "Here I've been lopping around all through this infernal hot sell when I might just If well have been swing ing in a hammock am1 have my blister ed back cooled oil' by the breezes." Anyone j;an put up a hammock. All you've got to do is to untie aU.it 500 knota, unnvel about .'00 snarls, and work over the thing until you esn tell whether the open side was meant to go up or down. This purzled Harper for fully twenty mioutes, but he finally .got it right ami fastened the ends to two convenient trees. Then he took off hia hat and coat and tolled in with a great sigh of relief. No be didn't quite roll in. He wss all ready to when the hammock walked away from him, and he rolled over on tho grass and came to a atop with a croquet ball under the small of bis back. "Did you mean to do tbatf called a boy who was looking over the fence and slowly chewing away on green ap ples. "Did 17 Of course I did! Git down ofTn that fence or I'll call a jajl iceman!" The boy slid down and Harper btouKhtnpa lawn chair for the next move. It's tbe eaaieat thing in tbe wm Id to drop off a chair iuto a bam PJM ck. JOta of men wrui'd be willing to do it on a salary of 10 jr week. The trouble with Ilnrpvr was that he didn't drop alt his body at ones. - Tbe The upper half got into the hammock all right, bet the lower half kicked and thrashed around on the grass until the small bey, who didn't mean to leave the neighborhood until the show was out, felt called upon to explaia: "You can't turn a !iandpring with your head all wound up in that ere net, and I'll bet you money on it!" Harper suddenly resed from bis Is bora to rise up and shake hia hat at tbe young villain, but that didn't help the ease a bit. H hain't got into that hararoock yet. Hecarefully looked the case over, and decided that be bad his plana too high. He therefore loweted tho net to within two feet of the grennd, aud he had it dead sure. He fell into it sa plump sa a bag of h.hot going down a well. He felt around to see if ks waa all in, and then gave himself a awing. No eraon can be happy in a hammock uutuaa the hammock has a MUtdu!uiu lootio. This hammock of aarfrtra was just getting tho regular salt-water awing when hi knots untied and he came down on 'li broad of bis ha til with auch ajar that lb email boy 1 t called upon to obarivt-: "That ain't no way to level a lawa u want to uae a regular roller."

The following corresondenc over the telephone wires yesterday ia a fur ther proof of the fact that no one but a bald-headed man could do without one: "Hello, Centra) !"
