Aunt Leah, s little withered old lady
is a drabs of worn black silk, and sharp
gray eyes, pearing through gold -bound
spectacles, tasted the tea and ah,00k

creditors, the pitiful straits to which they
were.reduced 1
"What shall I do f" she asked herself
as she went slowly'back to the little kit-
chen of the ruinous Gethiccottage,which
they had obtained for ridiculously low
rent bee tune it was ruinous. "I've bor.

hung in a hall beyond, "there's the
Velasquez is always worth money. Belle
will scold about parting with it, and
Aunt Leah will mourn ; but we can't
live on air and dew, like fairies. I'll
take it down to Mr. Bruner, the artist,
this afternoon, and ash him to ge, us a
purchaser. Poor people, such as a are,
can't afford to retain oh: family relic.i."
And so; when Aunt Leah was indul_
ing in her afternoon nap, and Belle, the
beauty of the family, was ironing out the
flounces of her white muslin dress for
the morrow's picnic, valiant Saidee
climbed on a chair, took the unframed
picture down (it was the head of sonic
Spanish grandee, with stiff pointed ruff
and an evil leer in the eyes,) wrapped it
up in a newspaper, and crept across the
meadows with it totho village.
Mr. Bruner was in his studio --a griz-
zled -headed, blunt old gentleman, in a
belted linen blouse and a faded velvet
cap. He nodded kiudly at Saidee, who
had once taken a few' lessons from him,
but when she displayed the canvass he
shook his head.
"How much do you think it is worth?"
asked Saidee, wistfully.
'Nothing '" said Mr. Bruner.
"But," cried the girl, "it's a lelas-
quit
"That a Velasquez 1" said Mr. Bruner,
con[emptuolusly. "My dear, there isn't
a picture dealer in the country who
would kite fifty cents for it. It's a men-
dacious incitation, and a poor one at
that
Su
Saidce tied up the poor picture and
went home again, shedding a few tears
as she walked under the whispering
trees.
"My- lastrhope gone !" she thought.
"But I'll not tell Aunt Leah nor Belle
that it is an imposture. They have al-
ways taken such innocent pride in the
Velasquez.''
As she came past the old brick house
at the foot of the loeust lane a load of
furniture was baing carried in, for it was
the second week in May. Wicker chairs
twined with blue ribbm, acottage piano,
cases of books, engravings. bird cages,
plants -all sorts of pretty thidgs.
Kaidee paused and looked at them, not
without interest.
"I wonder who our new neighbors are
to toe 7" she thought.
Just then out trotted s stout, cherry-
cheeked old lady, with her cap all on one
side and a worsted ehr.wl tied over her
shoulders.
' Oh : ' said she; "are you the young
*omen who disappointed us yesterday
about cleaning r
"No," said Saidee, ctimeentng to her
temples.

Saidee, and she oiled beyond
the lilac hedge, rather amused at the
mistake which the old loft had made.
Belle was full of news that evening.
"Ob, Saidee," ibe Mei, "seek a nice

"Yeti," said Betides, "I saw the furni-
ture carts at the door as I tame back
(roan the village this afternoon."
Oh, the village !" rated Belle, tossing
her blonde head. "It's strange, Saidee,
how much time you stet to run about
and enjoy yourself, while I sin drudgi.•g
at home. But there's a young gentle-
man there -the handsomest man Alice
Aiken says that she ever saw -and Mr.
Pyre knows hint and be is to be et the
picnic tomorrow to get acquainted witb
the young people of the neighborhood.
Won't it be delightful 1"
„Very," said Santee, iudifferently.
But while Belle was talking she had
made up her tnind what to do ou the
day of the May pic-nic.
Early in the morning, white the tluili
of suurise was still crimsoning the sky,
and blonde Belle lay asleep with her
yellow hair in crimping pins, Saidee
arose, dressed herself quietly, and slip-
ped out of the back door like a little
gray shadow. with
At 8 o'clock Aunt Leah rapped
her cane on the ceiling of her room
which was directly beneath the one oc-
espisd by the miens. Belle trade her
appeasence presently in a faded calico
wrapper, rubbing her eyes in a drowsy
fashion.
-Where's the bre*kfeat 1" said Aunt
Leah
••Where • Saidee 1' counter -question-
ed Belle. "Oh, I know the selfish thing.
She has got up early and gone down to
the woods too get some pink azaleas for
'her hair before the other girls think ‘of
it. She wants to astonish us all at the
picnic. But I think she might have told
we. "
"l'in afraid Saidee 'thinks more of
herself than she does .,f as," said Aunt
Leah, sourly.
And Belle in a very ill humor began
to prepare breakfast, a task generally
assumed by her elder sister.
While Saidee, hurrying down the path
by the swamp, took a short cut across
the clover meadow, and was presently
knocking at the door of the brick house
where the load of furniture had stn o,l
the day before. '
The old lady with the crooked cap
and the cherry cheeks came to the door.

"Bless mo, child?" said the old lady
"you are too slight and small. Besides'
looking closer at her, "you are a lady."
"But I know how to clean house,"
said Saidee, valiantly, "I've done it ev-
ery year at home. We are ladies, but
we are not people of means. And I
think you will be suited with my work.
It is necessary that I should earn a.little
money and-"
"Come in, my dear," said the old
lady ; "come in and have n cup of coffee

my daughter, Kate,"
"Saidee Lynn !" exclaimed the soft
voice of a pretty girl,lying with a sprain-
ed ankle on the sofa.
To her amazement our heroine recoz-
nizing one of her schoolmates, Kathar-
ine Hartwick, who had graduated in the
same class with her at a hoarding school
two years ago.
"But you surely have never tomo

ment.
"Yes I have," said brave Saidee.
"Why is it any less creditable to clean,
paint and wash windows than to play
croquet and do Kensington stitches 1

saying :
"Oh, Harry, is that you i We sup -

THE HURON SIGNAL, FRIDAY, OCT. 20, L882.
Kate, on her sofa, boomed curtains ;
Mrs. Hartwick to and fro ; Saidee, with
her curly hair tied up in a handkerchief,
scoured paint, and Harry wkitessd ceil-
ings ; and at twilight they had three
rooms in perfect order.
"We have achieved wonders," said
Kate, looking around at the neatly tack-
ed carpets, the soh, garnet plush hang-
ings, the pictures on the walls, the crys-
tal brightness of the windows, while Mrs
Hartwick took Saidee mysteriously to
one side.
"My dear," said she, "I do not know
bow to thank you sufficiently. But I
un ashamed to offer you a dollar and a
hal(, although--"
"But I shall not be ashamed to take
it," said Saidee, smiling. "Why should
I 1 That is, if you really think I have
earned it."
"My dear, you have more than esru-
ed it," said the old lady, "and if you
could possibly Dome to -morrow-"
"Of course I will come," said Saidee.
Weary as she was,Saides weut around
by the village to buy some Young Hy -
son ter for the old lady before she re-
turned to the gothic cottage.
" Well," she cried, brightly, to her
sister, "what sort of a day did you have
at the picnic 1"
"Awfully stupid l" yawned Belle.
"And the handsome young man from
Locust lane didn't come at all."
"Didn't he 7" said Saidee,
"And where have you been 7" de-
manded Belle, in an injured tone.
"Oh, spending the day with a neigh-
bor '" said Saidee, with a laugh.
They finished the house-cleaning that
week. Mr. Harry Hartwick found it
necessary, we may add, to walk home
with Saidee the next evening, and he
developed a remarkable talent in the
amateur painting and kalsomining line
before they got through.
"Isn't she pretty, Harry 7" said Kate,
when at last they had settled comfort-
ably, and Saidee had gone home for
good
"She is pretty, - said Harry euthusiss-
tically ; "and she i. brave, and she is
not afraid of honest work ; and alto-
gether she is my beau ideal of a girl."
"Mamma," whispered Kate laughing,
after her brother had gone' out, "I be-
lieve our Harry is in love with Saidee
Lynn."
"I'm sure I don't blame him," said
Mrs. Hartwick. "She is a little jewel."

To have grapes keep in the best con'
defies, they must be carefully handled,
as the shin of $ single berry will cause
decay to set in.
The usual method is to pack them in
wooden bozo, holding three or five
pounds. These boxes are made at ell
the grape centers. Whsle paste -board
boxes will anomer for grapes that are to
be sold at once, wooden ones are requir-
ed tor those to be kept.
To keep well, the fruit must be
thoroughly ripe.
Au experienced eye will at once know
by the manner in which the cluster
hangs frau the vine, if the fruit u ripe.
The stalk by which the cluster u attach-
ed loses its stiffness, and the bunch
hangs directly down.
Handling the fruit removes the bloom
and injures its appearance, hence the
bunch should always be held by the
stem. The implement stores have scis-
sors which hold the cluster after it is
cut, at:d all handling is avoided. to shal-
