Then Lucia wroio letters until dinner, after that music and singing In the drawing room and a romp on tho piazza with ho llttlo ones. Bho at lost took them up to bod ad after kissing them knelt ut Manila's bedsldo and Hcnt a heartfelt petition to tho throno of gruco that sho might teach tho darlings tho true way of life. Tho Fourth dawned clear and cool. Tho Thorpe family wit at tho breakfast table enjoying an curlier repast thun BHUtll. "Wonro polnrr over to tho celebra tion at Uolmiin'd Grove thin morning, Judith, will you not accompany uhV" Mkcd her brother pleasantly. "I don't know, It hits been a great many yearn since I've attended any thing of the kind, so I guess I'll go," sho returned. Now, MUs Judith did not know that her young sister-in-law wus to deliver the oration, ussho forbado tho servants ever to gossip to her, and neither Ed- ; win or Lucia hud mentioned It In her ij presonce. 1 Accordingly at half-past oight tho wfaolo family entered the carriage and drove toward tho Grove, which was a dlstanco of seven miles, being a half mile boyond tho village. Onco thero, a couple of gentlemen eame forward, and Lucia and her hus band alighted from tho carriage, They disappeared among the crowd, leaving Jud.th, Joy, and Marcla atill beated. u Presently Edwin returned alone and eating himself between the children, Mid: "Mamma has forsaken uh for a while, but if you look sharp, wou'll see her before long." Thero wub musl", tho Declaration of Independence was read, then a stirring patriotic song; after the singing ceased tho crowd were silent, yet leaning ea gerly forward, and when a splendid looking w,mtin stepped forward on tho rostrum, a deafening storm of cheers greeted nor. Joy sprang up, crying xcltcdly: Why I It's mamma 1" Hush," said h!s fathor. The child sat down and listened to e quiet, yet eloquent, words, that came from his lovely step-mother's tips. As she proceeded, Edwin Thorpe oould not but admire and feel proud of his new wife. Onco, when her voice was drowned la the hearty applause, glanced over at him and saw with thankful heart that he approved of r words. Thea -oho wont on, e!e ently telling of m "Our country's KrnwInK huno omce, nailing o'er inn waters dark Our f triers hither oamo." und ending with n plea for temperance, "that our nation might still progress onward and upward, never falHncr back, but remaining puro, tho nation among nntlons until tho end." Mr. Thorpe felt so proud of his wifo that ho hurried forward t lend her from tho platform, amid tho applause of tho enthusiastic crowd. "My dear Utile wife, tho smartest woman in tho United States," hu whispered, as they walked to tho car liage. Oh! how happy sho was, in spito of Miss Judith's stony facol They Btaid until after tho flro-works to please tho childron. Tho noxt morning Judith said: "Edwin, I should like to seo you in tho library alone." "Certainly, sister," ho replied good humoredly, rising and following her Into tho library. Sho closed and lock ed tho doors, and turning, paced up and down tho room, whllo ho threw hlmnclf on tho lounge, waiting for his sister's words. They were these: "Edwin, when you told mo that you wero contemplating a second marriage, you did not inform mo that your bri 'e elect was n pjblic speaker, tin acthkss I might say. If you had, I would have told you if sho entered Thomley Ha. I, I would leave It; but, as she Is already here, I will, for your sake, try and tol erate her, and I hopo you'll thank me for" Edwin Thorpo arose, saying: "Judith, 1 supposed you wanted to see mc on somo matter of importance. I wish you (o say nothing to mo about tho wife I have chosen, as she is far abovo you in many respects." lie left tho room, joining Ills wifo and childron on tho lawn in a giimu of croquet. "1 think It would ho nlco if wo hud a set of croquet on tho island," said Marcia, as she tent a ball rolling over the grass. "Yes, I'll ordor a sot put out over thero this evening and we'll go over to-morrow morning and spond tho day there," replied licr father. Tho following day was spent on tho Island, in tho Kail boat, und at tho cro quet ground. Ono Tuesday nftornoon not long after, as Mr. and Mrs Thorpe sat in tho arbor at tho foot' of the garden, sho said, suddenly consulting her watch : "It is nearly time for our meeting, and I am obliged to attend as wo huvo somo important business to discuss; ho I must go and get ready. Won't you go with me, Edwin? I am a llttlo afraid to drivo homo after dark, und wo can take tea with Aunt Mattio." How could ho resist such a charming appeal? Besides he felt it little curious to visit a "woman's rights" meeting, uo ho accompanied her. Upon entering the hall ho was ntir-1 prised to meet several gentlemen of his own acquaintance, among them tho most prominent men nf tho town. A couple of reporters sat ready to take down tho proceedings, and on tho whole tho meeting appeared highly re spectable. Mr. Thorpo watched all wllh great interest. Tho ladles were discussing tho pro priety of starting a Medical Instituto at their own town, instead of sending their young ludlos and gentlemen to tho city. Thoy carried thoir dobato on quietly, yet were witty und intelligent? not getting angry, but maintaining tho utmost good humor and lady-UUo con duct. They decided to elect u committee who wero to solicit funds. Lucia und four others wero elected, and she went Immediately to her husband and asked him to subscribe two hundred dollars, which ho uncomplainingly did. Of course tho ladles wore pleased. " Well, Edwin, how did you like our society?" asked aunt Mattie, as thoy sat at her tea tablo that evening. "I was agreeably struck by the pleas ant way it was conducted," ho return ed. nis wifo ielt triumphant, but foit, with a sigh, that sho had a greator vic tory to gain, and that was to banish wino from her tablo. To be Huro they never used it now, but if sho wore to give a dinner party, both Edwin and Judith would consider wine indispen sable. A few weeks Uter, as tho rain was pattering briskly on tho roof of Thorn ley Hull, the Thorpo family wore gath ered around the bright wood-flre in the parlor. Lucia sat, book in hand, but she was watching Judith's face as sho crocheted her bright worsted. Bhe was not much older than Edwin and had been a beautiful woman, bhe was still quite handsome. Now her large black eyos wore a softened look, and he appeared lovely in her dark ilch WILLAMETTE FARMER. dress, with n bow of crimson at her throat and another in her Ml tick hair. Lucia was thinking that she had been quito nmiablo lately and was hoping that sho would bo moro pleasant iu the future. In tho midst of her rovcrle Judith suddenly addressed her, saying: "My dear, it seems to mo that you ought to glvo n reception beforo you start for Europe. Suppose you do?" "Yes, Judith, wo ought. Lucia and I had been so happy together that wo hadn't thought of It," returned Mr. Thorpe. Thoy all entered into tho plan and decided to send out invitations for a reception to ho given at Thomley Hall, two weeks from tho fallowing Wednes day. Then they began to discuss and plan for tho contemplated aoirec. Dress, decorations, music, and last, refresh ments enmo in for their sbaro of tho discussion. "Wo will hnvo ice cream; tho hot house grapes, peaches and ptnms will bo ripe, wo can got confectionery, und our cellars are full of rich, rare old wines which will wash thorn down do liclously," said Judith. " I think that good lemonade, choco late, tea, and cotfeo would be better t'lfin wine," returned Lucia, firmly. "Why! who ever hoard of such n thing?" asked Judith, raising her eye brows. " hare; tho loading citizens of my native city did not usu wino at their tables, as it created too many heart twites among tho wives, mothers, and sisters, when thoy saw their husbands, fathers, and brothers partaking too freely of tho wine-cup. Then, I have a good many temperance friends whom I wish to invite, and thoy would he bo much shocked to find wino on (he tablo of ono of their officers and lectu rers," replied Lucia, quietly. " LtiL'ia. you 'ro rlghtl" exclaimed Edwin. Sho felt triumphant. A long discus sion followed on tho subject of temper unco between tho si.stors-Iu-law. Lu cia, getting excited, uroso, and, pacing back and forth across, tho hxm'i, gave Judith a short, uloquont lecture, and sho was .forced to succumb. .. t The evening of tho reception came, nnd passed uway pleasantly. Every ono went uway praising Mr. and Mrs. nnd Thorpe, und their tine rosldonce, good supper, otc. Tho weeks flow by. Judith grow moro nnd morogentlo to Lucia. How could she help it? Sho was so sweet and ploasnnt, "HlvrSys nn swqring kindly whoa spoken to, pot ting tho childron, yet treating them Judiciously, punishing each otTenso lov ingly, sorrowfully, bnd with quietness. At last thoy began to prepare for their trip to Europe. Tho whole fam ily wero Intondi .g to start tho first of Soptomber, hut Judith was taken sorl ously ill with typhoid fovor, nnd for weeks lay at death's door, ami then be,gun to rapl ly recover. During her Illness sho learned to lovo the patient, swift-faced girl that was constantly at hor bedside, ministering to herovoy want. That woman was Lucia Thorpe. When sho sufficiently recovered thoy wont to Europo, und us Mrs. Lucia Thorpo bado "Aunt Mattio" good-byo, sho assured hor that sho had her " rights." TUK KS1. An Efenlng Call. IJV LOUISA M. ALCOTT. "Now what would you liko to see in Now York? Stewart's big storo. I sup pose; ladles usually mako thoir first pilgrimage there," said u friend. Boon after my arrival in that queer mixture of London and Paris. "I don't eairo a pin for any big storo! I want to boo tho Nows-boys Lodging nouso and School," was my unswor, for I felt as if that building was more beautiful than tho white marble square of tho mllllora'ro, splendid as It Is. o arrangements wero mauc.imu one cold evening we not out to seo tho boys in mo iMows-ooys Liotlgtng House. Wo arrived Just too late for tho evening school, I was quito resigned to that be c uso ( could i-eo schools anywhere but not a hundred und ulghty independent business boys, "inking their ease at their inn." All around tho great hall wero rows of little cupboards, und it was a fiui sight to seo it boy cninu In, and pay six cents for his lodgings, put his surplus funds into tho savings hank, register his namo, receive his key, unit llesurely depo-.it his cap, Jacket und shoes (if he possessed any of ihcsotir tides) in his own private cupboard. Ono lud nnd nothing hut un old cap, yet belaid it away und locked it up with such an air or s-tti-fuctiori und Import unco that it did one good to seo him. Somo were read imr. and the muster told us thoy would rod half the night if hew uld let them, so eager were they fir amusement or information. Some wero talking over tho utfiirs ol the duy, lounging in easy attitudes on the buuihfs, with newly washed ban feet, and smooth heud-, which xeomed u he prepared for morning, to saw lliue, for wo wero told many wero up and away by ive o'clock, to sell earlj paj.en on trains und boutr-. Shirts and tmwsors, moro or less tidy was the prevailing eu-tume, and the free nnd eay manners of tho young gentlemen were amusing to watch. But, on tho whole, they behaved won derfully well. And it was comforting to see so many lads safe, and warm, nnd clean, and happy in his home, instead of being left out in the streets to sin, and Miner uncured for Just when most needing care. Ono ll'.tle chap of six was trotting about among the larger boys as busy as a bee with his smalt af fairs; and when wo asked about him wo were told bomethlng that made him u very interesting Putney, to mo at least. It seems that tho parents wero dend. and this child and a nine-year-old brother wero left alone In the world. Ono would have thought two such ba bies had no rofugo but an orphan asy lum; hut Brother Pete preforred to support tho family himself, und did so, with tho help of this newsboys' friend. Actually, llttlo nine-year-old took caro of his brother, buying or begging his clothes, paying for his bed and fond, ,.nd getting on bravely with business meantime. I longed to seo this small hero, but he had not yet come in, being one of tho boys who sell Into papers. The idea of this child knocking around tit night and In tho busiest places, and coming in tired out, to pay for "self nnd family," was so comic and. so path tele that It quite haunted me for dayaiifterwurtls,tind I longed toseoaud know both tho boys, and learn how thoy turned out in years to conic UiMialrs we saw the dormitories, with tho long rows of neat beds, in tiers of two; and the vision of one hundred and eighty boys snugly tucked up there was so delightful and amirJug tliu'. I could not reall.e It as a sober (act. The other visions was ono hundred and eighty loy,iill onjoylngu genial mtIiu mhgo, was oven more delightful and that 1 cou d realize fully. When I askeil our condctor by wiuit magic ho got his brlgado of hoys into their beds, and kepi them there, ho laughed and said "You mm1, nvt'uni the poor chaps are so tired out after being out at work nil day that they are glad to keep still when nltrht comes. Now ami then new boys try to get up a bree.e, but we have a watchman, and he keeps things quiet." How I should liko to he that watch man, for u timo, tit lesst. and s-ee these "poor chaps" 'peacefully asleep under thu blue coverluts.

To tuck up tho llttlo ones, and give a good night kiss, if thoy wanted it, trying to keep soft tho hearts that often grows so' hard or hungry for tho lack of lovu. Hut I fancy thero Is a special ungol sent to keop guard over those motherless boys, else how is It that thoy do so well and often cotno buck from Western homes to thnnk those who helped thorn and to gj and do likewise? BREVITIES. Out of difficulties grow miracles. Poverty is tho only burden grows heavier by being shared by those wo lovo. A little boy, whoso sprained wrist had been relleded by bathing in whis key surprised his mother by asking. "If pupa had a sprained throat?" It's n wlho child that knows, etc. "I say, fellows," remarked a Yankee loafar tosomu of his companions, "ha iij M'u who can tell tho biggest He." "All right," stild one "I'm Urn hlgirest fool In America." "Oh, pshaw!" ex c aimed thu first eontumptuous'ly; "wo agreed to tell nothing hut lies, and you begin by telling the truth."
