SONG.
Some find Love late, some find him soon,
Some with the rose in May.
Some with the nightingale in June,
' And some when skies are gray;
Love comes to some with smiling eyes,
And comes with tears to some,
For some Love sings, for some Love sighst
For some Love's lips are dumb.
How will you come to me, fair Love j
Will you come soon cr late?
With sad or smiling skies above,
By light of sun or moon?
Will you be sad, will you be sweet,
Sing, sigh, Love, or be dumb,
Will it be summer when we meet,
Or autumn ere you come?

"I could stad every thig else," said
Nannie, "if it was odly hobe-likc. Oh!
if I could odly sit dowd in a dead

fegly happy." .
We all laughed at this idea of bliss,
but after the laugh there was a sudden
silence, for each one of us recalled such
a kitten, and the presence that had made
it home like.
We were not 6isters, or even kin to
each other, but meeting as strangers in

ncujyui go suDwnere else," said
Nannie.
"Oh! you poor little innocent!"
laughed Beth. ."You'd 'change the
place and keep the pain.' They're all
about alike."
At this Nannie lifted such a woe-be-gone
face that I felt somethinir must b
done.
"Girls!" said I, in my most impressivt
school-room manner.
But here there was an interruption, foi
Nannie left the rocking-chair and rushed
toward the bed.
Oh, Nannie !"cried Kate, "don't muss th(
bed; it's hard enough anyway." Bui
she spoke too late, for under the com
bined influence of homesickness and in
fluenza, Nannie had flung herself on tht
bed in a forlorn little heap, and was lift
ing up her voice in a hoarse cry.
This was simply dreadful.
Beth and I purred over and cuddled
her, and Kate slipped downstairs and
coaxed the cross kitchen girl into mak
ing a bowl of sage tea, and by the tim
Bhe was back with it the invalid wa
somewhat comforted.
When quiet was restored, I spokt
again. "Girls! let's go to housekeep
ing." Nannie stopped the bowl hall
way to her lips, Beth sat upright on th
trunk, and Kate dropped the stick o)
wood in her hand back into the box.
" Where's the furniture coming from?'
-said she.
"Who'll pay the bills?" said Nannie.
" Who'll do the work?" said Beth
who was born south of Mason's and Dix
on's line. -
"We'll all do it," said I. answering
the last question first; "and as for the
furnishing, that needn't cost so very
much ; and about the bills Kate, how
much do we all pay a week?"
"Four times five is twenty, and two
dollars for washing makes twenty-two,"
said Kate, with bookkeeper promptness.
"Why," said Beth, beginning to be
eager, "lots of families live on less than
that, and pay for everything out of it
clothes and doctor's bills and every-
eu, we talked till midnight, and the
more we talked, the more feasible the
scheme seemed, and it was decided that
we should commence tenement-hunting
the very next morning; and after Beth
and I had gone to our own room, Kate
came hurrving across to say she had
some spoons and forks which had been
her mother's, and that Nannie said she I
knew how to make lovely waffles
We expected a tedious, time finding a
; rent within our means; but it is aston
! ishing how fortune helps those who try
to help themselves. That very week
U9 n "our own hired house," and as Beth
turned the key iu the hall door, we felt
'hat we had burned our ships behind us.
The outgoing tenants seemed to regard
our experiment in the light of a huge
3c which they were willing to help
a'ong so 'hev gave us a number of house-;
keeping things, among others a braided
mat anc a half-dozen plants til in bios-1
bum, anu sow us tneir range at a very
low price. Beside this, we had a couple
of bedsteads with the furnishings, a few
dishes, our trunks, and a half-dozen j
packing boxes of different sizes. '
The next fortnight was a busy one. We
rose early and went to bed late, and lived i
in picnic fashion, while we painted and ;
pounded, and planned. V'c were in a '
state of mind where we wished for no ',
advice, much less help, from anybody j
outside; but after jamming considerable ,
plaster from the walls, and skin from our i
knuckles, we decided there were times !
when a man could be made useful, and ,
at Nannie's suggestion a certain young 1
i architect from the boarding house was ,
akeQ lnt. .ur conh Jence, and did val-;
cretonne covers and bits of carpet were
scarlet and white. But it was on oui
common sitting-room that we lavished
our greatest skill. The tluee windows
were curtained with full draperies ol
cheese-cloth, over cream colored shades,
a big crimson bow at the top of each
window where the draperies parted.
Nannie, who was not in the least aajs
thetic, pleaded to have the whole flooi
covered, but as this meant twenty-five
yards of carpeting, she was voted down
on the score of economy as well as of art.
A wide margin was stained s
most delightful dead-leaf brown, and
nine yard3 of crimson and wood
colored carpet made a square large
enough to come well out around the cen
ter table. And the table we saw it ont
day in front of an auction-room. Th
top looked as though opposing forces had
fought across it, but the standard wai
good and solid ; so home it went, and
when it was covered with Beth's old
gray shawl dyed crimson, and the
student-lamp set over the darn in the
middle, the effect was all that could be
desired.
Then we had Beth's piano and the
plants,-and nobody knows until she tries
it how far a piano and plants go toward
furnishing a room. We had a comforta
ble lounge, bought "in the cloth," and
covered by our own hands, a big Shakei
rocking-chair, and two or three smallei
rockers and camp-chairs. The wall-paper
was subdued, and our few pictures
and brackets made quite a show, and
I when we had scattered our books and
trinkets about the room, it was a decided j
success.
"There, Nannie," said Kate, when we
reached the cozy kitchen on our tour of
inspection, "you can tuck your little feet
right into the oven, and feast your eyes
on the braided mat, and if the cat was
only here, you would have reached the
climax of earthly happiness."
The young architect looked inquiring
ly, and Nannie's ideal of bliss was ex
plained to him. He made no comments,
but looked at her with a peculiar ex
presion in his handsome eyes, and I felt
that the stability of the society was
threatened.
The next night as we were sit' ing
down cozily to our tea and toast, and
baked apples and milk, there was a ring
at the door, and Kate, answering it,
came back with a basket.
"It's directed to you, Nannie," she
said, holding it to the light. So Nannie
oKnedn,Aea out Pepped. a plmnp, !
self-satisfied Maltese kitten, and attached
to one fore-paw was a card which said :
"The Climax." Beth turned the card
over, and read, the young architect's
name.
"Oh. Nannie?" she said, turning on
her reproachfully, "I hope you are not
going to spoil everything." But Nan
nie was busy filling a saucer for the new
comer, and made no answer.
I may as well say here that, soon after,
the young man came to me in a very
straightforward way, made known his
intentions in regard to Nannie, and
asked permission to visit her. That
night, while she was gone on an errand,
I laid the question before the other
girls.
"I move," said Kate, who was rather
given to sounding phrases "I move
that he be granted leave to withdraw."
"Oh, let him come!" said Beth, with
true Southeru obliviousness of conse
auences. Well, he came, and came again, and
the little romance unfolded in a kindlier
atmosphere than that of a boarding
house parlor, and after a while I think
we all rather enjoyed him, as he was a
high-minded, intelligent young fellow,
wno conuucieu ms wouiiig nu vcrj ,
would

his nrm. and 'stablishin" him- ;
under
,.7 ii, i.
self at our kitchen table, put in his mar-
velously line lines and figures, with
Nannie sitting beside him with her sew-
ing, making quite a Darby-and-Joan
picture. Kate sometimes shook her fist
at him from the covert of the sitting
room, Put she usually ended with "Bless
the children"'
But to turfi from love to figures. How ;
much did it cost?
Now, I do not expect to be believed
when I say that our entire furnishing,
from the small mirrors in our bedrooms
to the big iron spoon in the pantry, cost
exactly $128.63; nevertheless, that was
the exact total. It may seem more cred
itable when it is understood that our
dressing-tables, wash-stands, and otto-
mans were packing-boxes, and that the
inviting cushioned chairs were originally
barrels. Of course our bedsteads were
not furnished with hair mattresses and
rose blankets, but we had warm cover
ings, and clean straw-filled ticks, which
were simply luxurious after boarding
house mattresses
Our table was not set forth with cut
glass and silver (except Kate's spoons
and forks), but it was clean, and the
food wholesome and varied.
And about the cost of living? We
elected Kate treasurer, and every Satur
day night each of us put five dollars and
a half into a box kept for the purpose,
and 6he paid for everything out of it.
We questioned her often, during the first j
month, how the money was Holding out,
but she made no satisfactory answer.
The first day of January we each found
on our plate at supper the following no
tice: "The first monthly meeting of the
Home Co operative Society will be held
this evening in tho kitchen, as soon
as the dishes are done. A full atteud-
ance is desired, to hoar the report of the
treasurer."
Every member was present, and the
treasurer read her report. After setting
lortn at some lengtn tne orgin and ot-
ject of the society, she presented th
following figures :

"Which meaus," said Kate," dropping
her official manner, "that we have had
ill this good time, and den't owe a cent
for anything, and have six dollars and
seventeen cents apiece coming back to
us;" and she counted out four little piles
of money. '
"And coal in the bin, and food in the
larder,'" added Beth.
The next month we paid five dollars a
week eaeh, and had a surplus, and after
that, four dollars a week usually covered
ill expenses
When we started, though we asked no
advice, we had floods of it, and no end
of dismal predictions. "You'll quarrel,"
"You'll run in debt," "You 11 find the
work too hard," "You'll get tired of it,"
and, most dreadful of all, "You'll be
talked about."
"Well," said Kate, when this was
brought vp, "if a good name in the past,
and orderly living in the future won't
3ave us, why, let them talk. They must
talk about something, and while we are
under discussion somebody else will es
cape." So that was disposed of. And
we did not run into debt, and we did
knot quarrel. It would be too much to
6ay that we never differed, but our dif
ferences were never bitter.
We used to think sometimes that Beth
shirked her share of the work, but sht

I was sometimes a trial about cooking, be

anything but a comfort. We didn't keep
j her long, for one day, toward our first

Center of Earthquake Trouble.
Though some terrible earthquakes
' occur in Europe and Asia, South America
' seems to be the center of trouble. In
j 1812 the city of Caracas, in Venezuela,
j was destroyed in three shocks, each of
i nrlt''V A1A nnt nrfMinv t.wpntv spcnnrla.
In 1859 the city of Callao was also com-
pletely demolished, this being the second
time. The first time a wave came in from
the sea one hundred feet high, and with
out warning burst upon the city. In
1822 an earthquake produced some
strange changes in the Andes. Moun
tains were leveled, others were raised,
and a tract of land one thousand miles
square was bodily elevated about seven
feet.
It has been learned from old records
that the destruction of Herculaneum and
Pompeii was nearly accompu&neu oy an
earthquake sixteen years before the ashes
of Vesuvius covered them from sight
Biblical records tells us that earthquakes
vrere felt in Syria in the time of Ahab,
900 B.C.. and also in the reign of Uzziah,
800 B. C. In Josephus there i3 mention
of an'earthquake that desolated Judea at
the time of the battle of Actium, 31 B.

tioch has been visited by some terrible
scenes. The worst visitation wa3 in 526,

destroyed. Sixty years later another
shock destroyed 60,000 more.
