Touching thee lightly ith tendcrat cre;

Yet they have left thee hut beauty to wear,
(irowinc; old gracefully,
Gracefully fair.
Far from theatormsth.tfirelashingth'O.can,
Nearer cacto day to the plcas'ant home.
Far from tho waves that are big with com

Growing old cheerfully,
Cheerful and brig'it.
Vast all winds thnt were advene and chiliiDf,
1'aet all islands that lured thco to rest.
Past all tho currents that woed tho unwilling
I'ar from the port and the land of the hies',
Orowing old peacefully,
l'cjiceful ard bleU.

When the bright faces of childr.n arc seen;
Xcverayear from ihiir ycuth woutclst thou

Thou dost remember what lieth botwccn.
Otowing old willingly,
Gladly, I ween.
Itich in experience that anil might covet,
Kith in faith that has grown with thy years,
Kich In thy lovo that grow fiom and above it,
Soothing thy sorrows and hushing thy fears,
(ironing old wealthily,
Loving and dear.
Hearts at the sound of thy coining aro lighted;
Heady and w tiling thy hand to relieve;
Many a faco at the kind words are brightened :
- "It is more blessed to givo thou receive "
Growing old happily,

Kyn tint grew dim to tho earth and its glory,

And then a tall, plea.ant-iaccd young
man carao forward. I had seen him once
or twice bcfore,passing through the train.
"Was it n canvas bag," said ho, "with
'0. II., on it? And was there, a book nnd
Bhawllying boside it?" .
And I misworcd hronthlessly:
"Yes."
"It is hi tho hack car," said ho. "You
were pitting there, I think. Allow me to
conduct you thither. Tho train is in
motion and it will -he difficult to pass
from one car to another."
And thus, to my infinite relief, I found
my treahuro undistuibed, and, all-forgot-ful
of mamma's ninny cautions, chatted
and laughed with my new acquaintance
all the way to Powder City.
I conlidcd to him that I was going to
a rich couin, who would probably adopt

gold in my pockotbook, nnd n new,

llounces up tho front.
And not niiti' hn hil pu'. me in n cab

"Oh, dear!" I thought, to m.vfelf, "I
hope he'd not a burglar or a house
breaker." .My Cousin PuUey did not live in a
chateau or a pictuiexpic Swis cottage.
It was a tumble-down old farm house,
with a stagnant pond in front, nnd two
dismal weeping willowa at the hick.
Hhc lay very ill in a dirty old parlor,
with a fire of damp logs Hulking in the
fircplaco, and a general fmell of camphor
about tho premised.
She was nn ugly, yellow-faced old
woman, with a hooked no? e, nnd a mus
tache on hor upper lip.
"Ohl" enid she. "You nre Mary Ilar
pei's girl from Down East?''
"Yea," I said faintly, as I looked around
at the uucaipeted iloor nnd mildewed
walls.
"What can 1 do for you, Cou-iii l'at
foy?" "You can take .the hollows nnd blow
up tho fire," said tho old crone. "And
you ran make me somo oatmeal gruel,
and to-morrow jou can go out and soil
yarbs for me."
Soil I hesitatjd, uncci tain wheth
er I had heard alight.
"Yarbal" screeched the old woman.
"Ya-a-rbsl Don't you hear me? Catnip
and ponny-rilo, and tarragan, and lifo
evcrlabtin' nnd sich the garret's fnll of
'em. That's the wny I makes my liven',
pellin' yarb. And I was mortal 'feared
I'd loHO nil my custom with tho pesky
rhcumatiz. But it's all right, now you've'
come."
yo thi was my Cousin Patseyi This
was tho life of rich refinement to which
1 jiad fancied mvself dedicated. I cried
mvsclf to sleep that night and dioame'd
I was a beggnr-g'ul plodding from door
to door.
I was up belimCH in the morning to
cook Coiimii Pntscy'i breakfast over the
kitchen stove 1, the petted darling of
the household, who had never been al
lowed at homo to know a. single earc
to clean her room and comb out her tan
gled white huir. And then, with many
rcnioaches oxer my tluc.nUhnefs nnd
lack of faculty," I was nt up to tho
gantt tocfill a basket xyith the little
bundles of (tried Hems men xveio unng
line; fiom hooks in tho beam's overhead
"What am 1 to do xvith them, Consin
Patsoy?'' said 1, feebly.
"Take 'inn into town." said Mi- 1'at
Mx'. "yell 'em."
"But where'" pleaded I.
"From door to door," responded my
xviteh like cousin. "(!o everywhere.
Tell 'em thoy'ro Miss Pajney PomiMitt's

the laigest ones. And don't let the

to take my hot drink at one o'clock and
you must lu at homo to fix it for mo."
And this was the fashionable eaieei
of which I hud iheameil at Powder City
Well, what was I to do'' 1 could not go
back to the Kw-t, for I hnd not money
enough. 1 could not write home, for tho
matter of the yarbs was too picking to
admit, m the eyes of Coiibin Putney, of
ex en a moment's dehix.
Moreoxei. theie was the old creatine
siek.nloue and in tumble, and 1 was too
loyal to diiMinof leaving hvr So, with
out ado, 1 took the luivlut and set forth
on my xveiny xvay, bhhiuv. if any
iiilitlingucd hotuekeejH'i derided the

1 sold some heibs eiioujrh to buy
.Mi.-s Pat-eys medicine, mid n little
knuckle of veal to loil into nourishing
soup and came home, xxi'h muddy
hands, weary limbs, and a eonidi wibly
depreciated nidation of myself.

On the ihiid d I claimed to meet

"Miio. Muiper!" he exckiiincil, offering

a ini-ehieYous -twinkle in my eyes. "Oat

proxy."
"You are a heroinel'' said ho, ear-ne.-tly.
"A very involuntary one," I answorcd
sighing and smiling.
When ho had gone out of tho store, I
could not help asking tho old xvoaian
behind tho counter who lip wns.
"It's Mr. Aylmer," sho nnswored.
"llo's an artist, miss, as pnints pie-
fturcs, and they do say ns how he gets
dreadful big prices for n bit of canvas
as yon could covor with a dinner plato."
Mr. Almyor came out to the farm
house to see mo the next day. lie
brought mo a bunch of rhododendrons
nnd sat and chntted with Cousin Tatbey
for a long time. Tho old crono eyed mo
keenly nfter Iih was gone.
"I don't approve of followors ns a gen
eral thing," said she; "but I reckon John
Alymcr is a good fellow and I sort 'o
think, Flora, that ho likes you."
"But, Cousin l'atsey, ho has only soon
mo twico before thisl" cried I, turning
very red.
"That makes no difference," said she,
shnrplx-. "Loxx don't go by the multi
plication table, l'x'o lix'ed solitary and
alone alt my life ; but I don't want them
as I'm fond of to do tho same. It's too
dreary a deal too drearyl"
I stayed xvith Cousin Patsoy a month,
doing all the drudgery of her wretched
hemic, selling herbs for her, keeping up a
cheerlul face through it all, and then
sho died died suddenly and alone, in
the dead of night.
They buried her, and I prepared to
return to the East; not, howox'er, 'till
John Aylmer had made me promise
that if he came for me in tho autumn,
I would be his wife.
"We shall bo poor, Flossy," he said ;
"but lovo is bettor than gold."
I xvas sitting in the depot, waiting for
tho trnin, with John talking to me, when
old Mr. Dodge, the white-whiskered law
yer, made his appearance.
".Miss Flossy," he said, "perhaps
you had not bolter go East just yot.
There's a will, you knoxv, and all Miss
Pounsett's property is loft to you.'
"Oh, yes, Mr. Dodge," said I; "but
only a hovel and a sxvnmp, and Milo
Mears has offered mo three hundred dol
lars for it all."
"Yes," snid tho lawyer ; "but tho old
chimney blewdown this morning ; and
there's nn iron box under tho health
stono contnining ten registered ono-thousand-dollar
Sacramento bonds,
made out in Miss l'atsoy's name ; and of
course they aro all yours.
I looked at John with sparkling eyes.
"So I am an heiress, after all," said I.
"Oh, John dear John I only wish it
was a hundred times as much, so that I
could lay it all at your feet,"
For Miss Pounsctt had a deal of tho
miserly element in her nature, and hnd
died in poverty sooner than broak in on
her idolized hoard.
And that is hoxv it happens that I urn

Onee at Saratoga Springs n xvomnn,

I hoi exeryHtigle one of your loysand
girls expect to work iu somo wax, with
head or hands, or, what is better still,
with t)0th. and that you are titling your-
seltes noxx-, by getting" habits of patience
persoxeranco, and industry, for the xxork
you xvill hiixo to dp. A man who xvas
lich and fnmoun was asked hoxv he had
accomplished mi much in life. "My
father told me when I was n boy when
I had alivthing to dr to go nnd do it,"'
wa the reply.
A man who hasn't a dollar iu the
world mav ho mid to lie rich who has
energx, an education, and a trade. He
can alxxavscarn a fixing. If it should
not le luei'MUiy for him to woik with
his hands, heVan better manage, x-alue,
and dirtvt the work of others, if ho
known ju't how it should be.W done.
The xvhqle xvork is op.-n now to men
who aio willing to work. Tim nations
nre brought In closer acquaintance,
niado moro coinfortibUx.more intclliginit
and better by (ho lalwrs of the engineer,
die electrician, the telegrapher, (ho
chemist. A young dilor must do a deal
of charity prnctioo Ivfore ho get many
paving pMient; a Uw.xermust dtudge
for yer iu (he office, and (he preacher
get grey hirs Ufore he don a fat
living ; teachers who graduate from the
boit colleges get but small salaries; hut
bricklayers aro paid from ?4 to $4 50 a
day, carpenters $2 60 and $3 50, black
smiths j 50 to 83 50, and a young
engineer who is a graduate can always
get employment and goou pay.
Hani work must bo dono if you would
do anything well in this life.. Having a
talent for a thing does not tako tho
nlace of work. John Buskin, who 1b a
celebrated English writer on art nnd
nature, says "a xvoman of genius is al
xx ays more ready to xvork than other
people."
A monk inst before J.utliorsuay, sant:
"I assure you, my hearers, if I could not
proacli I would bo proud to make shoos;
and if J made shoes, if I could help it, no
ono should make a bettor pair than I."
Thai xvas tho right spirit. If I could
help it no one should do anything that
I tried to uo better man I did.
Nox-or feel ashamed of your work
if itis nccosary or right for you to do
it it is dignified and honorable, and
somothing to bo proud of, in a humble
way. A boy who has tho right sort of
pride, born of solf-repcct and true man
hood, is not aslfamed to do honest work,
but ho is ashamed to bo dependent on
an) body, he is ashamed to dream and
build air-castles while his father toils in
tho office, or shon, or on tho farm, and
his mother is weary with her domestic
caros and labors.
Downright lazinoss is at the bottom of
a great deal of the so-called pride about
work. A loafer who will stand around
the cornors all day and lot somebody
elso earn tho bread ho eats is generally
too "proud" to work.
Thomas Jellerson once entertained at
his . house several distinguished foreign
ers. A carpenter who was at work on
the place, and expected nothing more
than to eat after these grand-folks xvere
done, was invited to the table with them
and always served first. Tho man felt
cmbarassed, and went to the butler to
toll him he was afraid Mr. Jefferson
would not like it, but the servant snid
ho hnd his orders from Mr. Jefferson,
who had told linn to serx'0 the carpenter
first, that his guests might sec that in
America a respectable mechanic was ns
good as a nobleman. .
Judge , a well known jurist
living near Cincinnati, had onco occa
sion to sond to tho village for a carpen ter,
and a steady young felloxv appeared
with his tools.
"I want this fence mended to keep
out tho cattle. There aro some un
plained boards use them. It is out of
sight from tho house, so you peed not
tako time to make a. neat job. I will
pay you $1 50." When he returned the
board were plained and numbered
ready for nailintr.
"1 told you that this fenco xvas to bo
covered with Tines," ho said angrily.
"I do not caro how it looks".
"I do," said the carpenter, gruffly,
caicfully measuring his xvork. When
it was finished there was no pail of the
fenco as thorough in tinish.
"Hnw mnnii tin vnn p hnroft'
you charge: nsked
the judge.
"A dollar and a half, '
said the inin,
shouldering Ins tooR
The Jildjre stared, "xx hy did yon
spend all that labor on the job, if not for
money 7
"For tho job, sir."
"Nobody would have teen the poor
work on it."
"But I should haxe known it wa-
there. No, I'll tako only tho dollar and
a half I ' And ho took it and xvent axvay.
Ten years afterward, tne judge had
the contract to give for the building of
certain magnificent public buildings.
There xvere many applications among
mnster-buildors, but the face of one
caught his eye.
"It xvas my man of the fence," he snid :
"I knoxv wo would have only good gen
nino work from him. I gave him tho
contiact and it made a rich man of
him,"
It is a pity that boys were not taught
in their earliest years that the Mghest
success belongs only to the man, be he
eaipenter, farmer, author or artist, whov
work is most sincerely nnd thuioughly
done. X. O. Times-Democrat.

twinkle iu hi eye), I wonder if when xoit
look at tho-e wrinkles in the dear grand-
mother's fare, you think of the thought .
and the care and the trials that helped
time to make them. She is sxxeotei to
me, children, than she wns.in the ohl
days when rdie xvas liko a wild rose in
June. ('Grandmother made a quaint,
old-fashioned couitoy, and eveijbody
went over and kissed her.)
Hut xve xvon't talk of grandmother iu
paiticulnr but we'll talk of wrinkles in
geneial. When I xa a boy 1 xvas taught
to look with leujieet on wrinkled face
Kaeh wrinkle means a gioat deal. 11
means suffering andare, and anxiety
for others ; for tha( old person hns len
very selti-h indeed, xxho ha. lixed only
for 'himself. Ft w have btxn w selfish.
Yesterday, ns I was era-sing South
Ferry, I saw a wrinkled hand before irtt
on (he rail of (he Imat. It was n man's
hand. It was hard and brown. And,
though the man himself had bis lack
turned towards mo, I read him from that
hand. Ho had his Sunday coat ou and
a tall hat, but the hand was tho hand of
a laborer. The wrinkles were made as
much by constant uses as by time. Jt
xvas an honest Land, and 1 grandfather
(bought it would be more fitting to a
gentleman to U& that toil-staipcd hand
flian the hand of the Sovereign lady
who rules the British Islcx, and one of
them at least, m ludly. When (he man
turned his face grandfather saw he was
not mistaken. The face was an honest
ono; ana when tno ooat unit ucu unj
whnrf with an awtul bang ogatnsi mo
woodwork, two boys, neally dressed,
sprang to meet tho man, and called
"Fa,thor." Those wrinkles had been
made in daily toil that theso nice, bright
boys might be kopt nice, and bright, and
good.
Each wrinkle in your father's faco
means a day of anxiety or toil for you.
Each wrinkle in your mother's is a night
of 'thought or xvatchfulnees for you.
For whom docs ho work? For you.
For whom does your mother plan, and
mend and economize? For you?
Do you think that because people
grow old they do not like pieasani
things7 Do you think that it is no sac
rifice to toil nnd moil day after day?
That parents aro bound to work, work,
work, bo that the young may havo all
thp axveet things of lifp, and accept them
thanklossly. like littlo princes?

How to Save our Boys
Women who have sons to rear, nnd
dread the demoralizing influence of bad
associates ought to understand tho nnl
turc of young manhood. It is exces
sively restless. It is dtsturbed by vague
ambitions; by 'thirst for action, by long
ings for excitement, by irrepressible de
sires to touch life in manifold ways. If
you, mothers, rear your sons so that their
homes arc associated w ith repression of
natural instincts, you will be sure to
throw them in the society that in sorfle
measure can supply the need of their
hcnrt. They will not go to the
public houses at first for tho'lox'e of
iiquor very fexv peoplo like the taste of
liquor; they go for the animated and
hilarious companionship thoy find there,
which they discovor does bo much to re
press the disturbing restlessness in their
breasts. Bee to it then, that their homes
compete xvith the public places m
attractiveness. Open your blinds by day
and light bright hres at night. Illumin
ate your rooms. Hang pictures- upon
your wall. Tut books and newspa
pers upon your, tabic, iiavo mu
sic and entertaining games. Banish
demons of dullness and apathy that have
so long ruled in the household, and
bring in mirth and good cheer. Invent
occupations for your sons. Stimulate
their ambitions in worthy directions.
While you make home their delight, fill
them with higher purposes than mere
pleasure. i neiuer uiey siuui puss uuj
hood nnd enter upon manhood with re
fined tastes and noble ambitions depends
on you. Heliex'e it possible that, with
cxcition and right means, a mother may
