".La! if the cinnamon ain't out! and
I don't believe there's sugar enough
neither," announced Molly, Hie very
small help that graced Mrs. Moore's
kitchen.
Lucia turned, with her hands in the
pic-crust, to look at her; for, of course,
this important discovery had not been
made until Lucia had Iter calico apron
on, her sleeves rolled up, and her hands
deep in the Hour. Molly had a genius
for that sort of thing. She stated the
result of her investigations now as cheer
fully as if she had been a second Chris
topher Columbus, and the empty sugar
box another America.
It did not strike Lucia quite as pleas
antly. Aside from being always en
gaged iua guerrilla warfare against this
propensity of things in general to be out,
she did not altogether fancy having to
pause in her occupation while Molly
made a tri p to the village store and back.
"jiposerti better go alter 'cm," sug-(
gestetl Molly, with beautiful serenity.
Lucia surveyed the dim patch of sun
shine that fell through the window upon
her white table, looked up at the ceiling
and down at the painted lloor, and una
ble to conjure any plan for making pies
without the missing articles, answered,
rather discontentedly
"Well."
It wits Saturday, and to the tired young
teacher, busy with her school all the
week, Saturday meant a good deal. At
least it always seemed beforehand as if it
might mean a good deal, though, when
the time really came, a host of common,
uninteresting little things usually
crowded in, and the grand possibilities
were crowded out. She kucw of nicer
things to do with this day than to chop
it up into pics; only that tlio pies were
wanted, and somenoiiy must mane incm.
Jlut while Molly was taking a short
route to the store, around every availa
ble point of interest, she slipped upstairs
into an old arm-chair, anil took a book
to console herself during the enforced
pause.
Chair and book were by the open fire
in a plain, faded, cherry little sitting
room, where Aunt Samantha, brown,
strong, homely-raced, with a sKcin or
black thread wound around her neck.
and a brass thimble on one finger, bent
over a tabic covered wiin ciotns, pat
terns, and pincushions, while the paler,
less positive-looking Mrs. Moore sat j
sewing by a window. Presently Lucia's
story ran suddenly into an old moral,
and'she drew herself up combatively.
"'JJecontentwith the things that you
have!' Well, that's easy enough! It's
being content with the things that you
haven't, that's the trouble," she medi
tated, beginning to count up, almost
unconsciously, that unprofitable part of
her possessions that.consi&totl only in
wantingS.
well, now:"
said Aunt Samantha,
.shifting her pattern from one end of the
cloth to the other, and surveying it first
over her spectacles and then under
them. "You see, when I put it in this
way it's the least bit too short, and
t'other way it's jest a leetle mite too
narrer."
"I guess it'll have to be pieced, Sa
mantha," remarKed iirs
Moore, in a
quiet tone.
It seemed as if the words had grown
so familiar to her lips that they almost
.-aid themselves, thought Lucia, with a
faint smile. "And no wonder," she ad -

tence in the book, "for everything is too
short at one ond, or too narrow at one
side generally it's loth. Nothing ever
comes iu full, abounding measure; aud
it takes an immense amount of twisting
and piecing to get a respectable life-pattern
out of this world, anyhow."
"Well," said Aunt Samantha, briskly
setting her spectacles again, and catch-
ing up her scissors, "taiif t no great
matter. To bo sure, It's a kind of com-
fort when you're about a thing to have
it come out whole, and snve so many
seams; but it won t snow wiicn u s an
done."
"I wonder if it won't?" mused Lucia.
"It seems to me a smooth, unbroken
web might be fairer, even while all is
done, than a life patched up out of odds
and ends, like a bed-quilt."
It was Lucia's winter cloak that Aunt
Samantha was so busily "making over;"

the head of the stairs. Lucia ran up to
the sitting-room again.
f'Mrs. i)oon is coming-up the front
walk, dear," explained the mother.
"Shelll .be at :the door in a minute, and
I suppose it is you she will want to see."
Lucia glanced around the room, and
wondered why Mrs.3)oon,of all persons,
-must como? "Why she must come on
J this particular da, when the tiro was
out in tne panor, and the sitting-room
carpet littered with Aunt Samantha's
cuttings? and, above all, why site must
arrive at just this hour of the day, that
lounci tier wiin nersieeves roiled up, and
herdrcss telling talcs of the Hour barrel?
Kiddles necessarily left unsolved while
she ushered the Iadv in.
Mrs. J)oon accepted a chair, and placed
her delicate buttoned boots on the
fender. Her round eves alwavs looked
as if they had just rested upon some as
tonishing sight, so that it was with only
usual amazement that they surveyed the
nine apartment; but Lucia never could
get used to their expression.
"Saturday is a leisure not leisure
that is, busy day with you, Mtss Moore."
remarked Mrs. Doon, graciously hiking
note oi tne nour spots.
"Very," answered Lucia, non-committal
ly. ' ! '
"I should think.it would must be so
quite naturally indeed. I thought I
must steal a few moments a few pre
cious moments to run down and advise

say you're so young comparatively

Mrs. Doon's utterance of sentences was
ratherjerkyandhesitating, accompanied
with a little deprecatory wave of her
gloved baud "as if she were trying to
draw her words out of a well by means
of a very poor chain-pump." thought
l.ucia, waiiijig.iur me pruuiiscu, auvicc.
"A'mothef feels tnustjnr coufse-and

Don't you think so, Mrs. Moore? I
wished to speak jut the merest hint in
the world that is, to request your care

"Why, what ails her?" interposed
AuntSamantha, musing, shcarsin hand.
with genuine, kindly interest. "There
'pears to be si good deal of sickness
amongst children now mumps, measles
and I did hear some of the Smiths had
the whoopin' cough; but I don't know as
it's so. 'Taint none of them she's got, is
it.'"
"Oh, no! rcallj'j no!" ejaculated Mrs.
Doon, her.rbiiudieyes growing' rounder.
"I was speaking, of her sensibilities.

Lucia bit herlin foitide a smile.
"I do not think she's f-tudvinir loo

daily recurring annoyance of Miss
I'.velina's unlearned lessons.

Lucia grew nervous. She began to
feel more and more like a bucket set to
catch the thiu stream of words from
Mrs.T)oon's pump. ' She knitihized the
rich lace that trimmed the lady's velvet
cloak, and .speculated .vaguely as to

In the kitchen, Molly complacently
announced the baking doue, and ex
hibited a row of pies that seemed, in
complexion, to be a tolerably successful
representation of the live races of man

and black.
Lucia viewed them in silence the re

stockings to be darned by the quantity;
and the girl went to work at them with
a grim resignation, as if that sort of
thing were all she need evcr.cxpcct, and
sli'c might aVwcll face it first as last.
Some strange speculations threaded in
and out of those yawning rents together
with the yarn not the brightest or most
hopeful of thoughts, and the young face
grew weary aud dispirited.
"If I only had some lining for these
sleeves, now, I could finish tills," said
Aunt Samantha, as the evening shadows
began to gather iu the little room.
"You couldn't go down to the store,and
get something as well as not. couldfyou,
Lucia ? I'd likc4 proper well to get this
done tb-ufght!"
Lucia assented rather listlessly. A
walk to thevillage did not promise to be
very inspiriting; but she did not care
about being inspirited, and the light was
growing too dim for sewing.

river, and folding itself about the little
place. The sky abovo was dull, and the

would have been the comment of tho
neighborhood. It was the remark made
in the village store by those who went
out to look after the man upon Lucia's
information. Dut Lucia, glancing upat
the great, still sKy, where the una stars
were beginning to come out, shuddered
at thought of what might have been the

Life grows so wide, so deep, so solemn,

thought in the girlish heart that had
changed, as she walked homeward. The
littio vexations that had changed just
now-seemed great enough to cloud all
the sky, stink into their proper insig

carelessness, worn-out bhoes ami old
cloaks were these the chains to uiiui

It is Glorious to be Pree.
Do not expect to make friends by le-
ing arbitrary', or to retain the love of a
wife or husband by force, tyranny or
jealousy.
Freedom is a glorious tiling under
which everybody thrives.
There are isolated cases where hus
bands are restricted in tlieirbest motives
and actions, but with women the ex
ceptions arc thoc who are free to live
their own lives in their own way.
Xo man or woman has the right to
say, you shall or you shall not do this
or that, not affecting the basis of truth
which should underlie every life.
Love, warm and selfish, can make its
object an unhappy captive. Itequire
that your wife or husband shall be true
to sacred vows, out ue liberal m little
things. Do you want a slave or a com
panion? If the latter, do not absorb the
whole time, life and individuality of
your mate.
Happiness cannot ensue by imnrion-
tnent, and no man or woman can be
(thoroughly happy if restricted and nar-

to develop, for which He holds each ac
countable. It is more than many peo
ple can do to take proper care of one's
soul. Is there a person who is willing
to become responsible for more than his
or her life-work?
If not, then do not assume, even to
your wife or husband, to dictate as you
would to a ltouudslavc, through their fear
or love of peace, cramping aud warping
their lives, often subverting noble in

Woman's Hioiits. I'ndcr the above
caption, the Santa Cruz Sentinel, being
itcmically inclined, writes as follows:
"On Monday last, in a short stroll for
Items, we noticed some new and inter
esting sights. In the first place a wom
an was found driving pickets into the
hard 'adobe soil' with a heavy sledge ;
hammer; the lured man held the pickets
aud the husband held the children, iu
tho house. The twins, a lovchy pair of
boys, wcro lat, ragged and saucy, while
the younger children received lacteal
nourishment from an 'Alexandra' bottle,
with a vim that showed courage Hint
determination to get a living by indus
try and main strength. Proceeding on
our way we came to a new house, being
finished, and found a fine young girl,
just iu her teens, helping her father lath
the building. She used the hammer
.skillfully, and her speed would ' have
done credit to a professional lather. The
country is safe. With such wives and
daughters, we will survive, notwith
standing the corruptions of Presidents,
Cabinets aud Legislatures. Politicians
may tear down and destroy, but they
cannot overturn true Liberty while tho
honest yeomanry have such material aid
in their daily toil."
Critn i-on Hydropjioiiia. While
visiting with a friend at SingSing, New
York, in 1SGG, William IJcers, of North
Haven, Connecticut, was bitten by a dog
snpposed to be rabid, ne at once ap
plied pulverized charcoal to the wound
and experienced no serious inconven
ience from the bite since the few weeks
following the occurrence, during which
time he had some of the lighter aymp
toms of hydrophobia. More recently
Mr. Beers, while living in Iowa, was
the meaus of saving the life of a young
lady who was bitten by a rattlesnake,
and the father of the young lady subse
quently applied the same remedy for a
a rattlesnake bite on a horse with entire
success. The better way of applying the
charcoal is to make a paste by mixing
with lard.
