DON'T TAKE IT TO HEART. There's many a trouble Would break like a bubble, ' And into the waters of Lethe depart, Did we not rehearse it, And tenderly nurae it, And give it permanent place in the heart. There's many a sorrow Would vanish to-morrow, Were we but willing to furnish the wings; So sadly intruding, f And quietly brooding, It hatches out all aorta of horrible things. How welcome the seeming Of looks that are beaming, Whether one's wealthy or whether one's poor; Eyes bright as a berry, Cheeks red as a cherry, The groan and the curse and heartache can cure. Resolved to be merry, All worry to terry Across the tamed waters that bid us forget, And no longer fearful But happy and cheerful. We feel life has much that's worth living for yet TinsleyB Magazine. Mrs, Tom Sawyer' Party. Mrs- Tom Sawyer's cheery little face aa unmistadably clouded, as she went about her work, one bright morning. In order to explain to you the cause of thia unusual occurrence, I shall have to .say, first of all, that there never was a more thoroughly aristocratic little town than that of Ashton was, and is now, for aught I know to the contrary. They were aristocratic people, the Ashtonites, hal aristocratic homes, attended aristo cratic churches, and last, but not least, in poor little Mrs. Tom's eyes this self same morning, they had very aristocratic tea parties. "What has that to do with her?' you ft sic. Well, somehow, partly in virtue of her good family, but mostly, I must confess, on account of her sweet sunshiny ways, and good true sense, Mrs. Tom, though her husband was a mechanic, was admit- i ted even into the charmed circle of aris tocratic Ashton. Mrs. Tom herself won- " dered how she came there, as did every body else, but there she was.and no one, not even the most fastidious, had any desire to put her out. I Bnt it proved something of a trial to her after all, and this morning the thorns were very sharp. You must know she found herself, as the expression is, in debted to nearly every one of her friends, not financially, but socially. "Nothing very terrible about that," you say; but that is because you know nothing about Ashton tea parties. No one was invited until just tea time, when all were expected to appear robed in their very best. The table was loaded with dainties of all sorts and discriptions. After an evening of high bred small-talk and gossip, if ever such be high-bred, the company adjourned, each lady pres ent vowing to surpass the hostess on some future occasion. I Such were Ashton tea parties. Do you ! wonder that Mrs. Tom sighed?" She went, broom in hand , and opened the parlor door. It is a cosy, cheery room, looked ."just like herself," her husband said. But the carpet was only an incrrain. and the furniture very plain. She shut the door and went on to the dining room. That carpet was very much worn and thin in spots. "But I enjoy eating in it enough sight better than in Mrs. George Parker's ele gant one, for hers fairly chills me, and thin warms me up, it looks so homely," said the incorrigible Tom, who preferred his own cosy little home to any one's splendor. Mrs. Tom went back to her sweeping, with a look of indecision en her faco, and it rested there all the time she was dust ing and putting to rights. "I'll do it," she exclaimed all at once, as she put the last book backhand pushed Tom's chair into its corner. "I'll do it. I've accepted their hospi tality, and I'll offer them mine. They know I cannot do as they do, so they won't expect it, and I won't . spoil it all by trying to do something I can't. I'll make as nice a tea party as I know how in my way, but I'll keep it my way." So it came to pass that afternoon Mrs. Tom went around among her friends, in viting them to take tea with her the next day, "And I would like to have you come early and spend the afternoon," she said to every one. Then she went and commenced prepa rations. The house was put in apple-pie order. For tea, she would have biscuits and butter, (and Mrs. Tom could make biscuits worth eating) , cold meat, pre serves and two kinds of cake. She hesi tated over the cake a little. She did hate to seem poor or stiugy; but she kept firm. "I can't afford any more, and I don't believe in thinking your company comes for the cake." There was no little wonderment and surprise over Mrs. Tom's invitations; some even felt a little sorry for her lest she had not fully realized what she was undertaking. But one and all made up their minds to go, and help along if need be. Mrs. Tom met them at the door with a bright smile of welcome, took them up into her own room to lay aside their things, then down into the cheery little parlor, which never looked chedrier and prettier than to-day. It was not grand or impressive, but you felt its bright homeliness the minute you entered. Such an afternoon! Not one of them could remember one like it. Mrs. Tom was everywhere, sometimes with a merry jest, sometimes a kindly inquiry, now with, an interesting curiosity and its story, another time with some question tnat led to an interesting discussion. They forgot to gossip or critizise; they Ka1 yisv 4imo tr t . wo.a tiAar?A1 st-nt mill. better things. Somehow a kindly feeling crept over tnem, ana tney snowed the i 1 t - 11 1 ! 11 I oesL ox iuerasives mr more m inis cosy lime uuiuu, iwu in. lueir accustomed splendor. When Mrs. Tom excused herself, as the clock struck six.to look after supper, they looked from one to another in as tonishment. Where had the afternoon gone to? "I don't know what you've done," said Mrs. Parker, as she bade her hostess good night', 'but I feel, as I used to say when a child, 'gooder' than I did when I came." "We shall all be glad to come again," aid Mrs. WeHton, the lady of Ashton, whose husband was worth over a mil lion. "And all I did, Tom, was just to try and get the best I could out of every body." "If every one would do that, the millen nium would come in less than no time, little woman," responded Tom, with a fond smile. "Many of us usually do our best to keep the worst in sight." "Oh, dear, and we might help each other so much!" answered Mrs. Tom. "What did she do, any way?" asked one, as they discussed the strange party. "She didn't do anything," answered Mrs. Parker, promptly. "She was just, real and true. I never felt so ashamed in my life as when I thought of all the parties I had given, and every one of them spreads. But I've been spread all I'm going to," she added with a laugh. "Hereafter,when I invite you to my house, I want you to under stand it's because I think we can do each other good some way, not because I've a new carpet to exhibit, or a new kind of cake to treat you to." Kather ine Knight in the Kennebec Journal. The Westtnirliotiae. ' The proprietors of the Westinghouse threshing machine have decided to push their goods throughout the entire north west and have already started a vigorous campaign. The WestinghouRe Separa tor is light running, strong and durable with an excellent shoe and riddle move ment that makes the machine very valu able in separating wild oats from wheat. It has manv excellent noints that will win for it golden opinions wherever in troduced. The house has established a branch in Portland with a thoroughly practical machine man Mr. G. P. Dart, as manager. Mr. Z. T. Wright, for some years with the J. I. Case company is with Mr. Dart and will be of much service in pushing the Westinghouse to the front. The house also handles an engine that has many improvements and good points. They are always ready to send descriptive circulars on application. OKF.OO.M TO MA.HJLVllVlTVTH. Some time ago MeBsrs. Hodge, Davis & Co., of this city, read in a Massachusetts paper that Hon. Charles R. Ladd, auditor of that state, was afflicted with au incurable kidney disease, and had been obliged to give np work and return to his home. They immediately Bent him a box of their celebrated Oregon Kidney Tea, and from time to time sent him other boxes. A few days ago they received from him the following letter: Commonwealth of Massachusetts, ) Auditor's Dep't, Boston, Nov. 11, 1881.) Messrs. Hodge, Davis &Co.: Dear Sirs I have no hesitation in saying that I have been much benefited by the use of the Oregon Kidney Tea as a remedy for a kidney difficulty which has troubled me for six or eight years. I can heartily recommend It to those who are similarly afflicted, as a safe and agreeable remedy. I shall test its virtues further, for I have great faith in it as a specific for many diseases of the kidneys. Respectf ully yours. CHAS. R. LADD, The original of this letter can be seen by calling fa Messrs. Hodge, Davis & Co., Portland, Oregon, aud the Oregon Kidney Tea can be bought of any druggist or dealer, in Oregon or Washington. Price $1 per box. A lady coming out of the court of Common Pleas one morning was heard to hay, "I'll never get divorced again as long as I live.
