MA'S MIRACLE.
Anthony Licheni WAS my young man,
and indeed he wss a very nice young
man and it wasn't his fault he was
putr ; that all °erne from his being born
m foreign parts, and might have happen-
ed to anyone; but my mother was an
American—American to the backbone,
she'd often say' ; and she had a way of
showing foreigners their place that wasn't
pleaeant to them' and sometimes it pro-
voked them, andso they'd up and give
her a piece of their mind—a thing she
couldn't put up with, as shesaid, 'coming
ot a decent family that had no foreigners
in it. .

and I'd work the tr adle with my foot t

Well, it was delightful. I never was
happier. Every time the stairs creaked
we thought it was a, who is a tasty
fleshy lady. And I used to think that if
Antony should jum out of the window
in a hurry, and get own the wrong side
into the cistern and be drowned, what a
dreadful thing it wokld be. Or even if
he wasn't drowned, our watch -dog, Bose

We might have been meeting in that
sewing room yet for ell I know—me and
Antony—if it hadn't been for the arm

it off I dou't know, hut off it was, any-
how ; and pa'who ia a grand ,hand to
mend things, lugged it away up garret to
mend it. When he got it mended he had
to leave it Until it set, of coarse ; and
that evening there was only the common
chair and the peach-hasket in the room.
Antony sat on the peach -basket turned
bottom upward, andj I sat working the
machine; and we we, e talking and whis-
pering ad kissing, as folks that liked
each other as we did do you know, when
all of a sudden creak; creak, went the

Now I hated Dominie Saybrook's son.
The peskiest critter I ever saw. and I
wonldn't have had himlif he'd been made
of gold and lined with diamonds. But 1
knew that it was not possible for mortal

And down she sot I heard the peach

cry out " Ach Himmel,' and there they
'were flat on the floor, me atop , and An-

Just as s me people love beauty, ami
some love °okra, and eorne love pleasure',
there are s me who lave money. They
do not see t� lave it for anything that
it will do o will procore, for any powet
it gives the , for any intrinsic happinesIs
but simply for itself alone e and the sigh
of a double eagle that is theirs warm
the cockles of their heart as.the sight o
no perfect aee or , lovely landscape on
earth could do. '
• Most of s desire money for the com
fort it can ve us, the appreciation i
the eyes of the rest of the world, th
'pleasure it allows us to bestow. .Bu
these peopl love it simply as money
it hurts th ir hearts ta part with it, an
every dolla they add to their store
more to thern than a geed deedadded up
in heaven. Far beneeth their love of
money sin s their desire for the esteem
of their fellowmen ; they bad Tether be
thought ric than good,or noble, or gener-
ous, or kin , and in truth they frequent
ly do not c re whether they are thought
rich or not so long as they are rich.
Their wives lead dreadfol lives that drive

from home, feeling nothing cau be 'ore
than home; and their daughters, hatingj
the hand tk t compels them to unright-
eous drudg ry, grow up to labor through
all their h avy hearted youth, if they
also do not forsake home, only to flannt
in vulgar su erabundance of finery,to re-
joice in gro s tables and to marry hus-
bands that will do their best to run
through th property 80 soon as they
come into p ssession of whet the father
could not ta e with him. -
What, ago # y these men enciu re in know-
ing that as hey" brought nothing into
this world,t erefore they can carry noth-
ing out." I is difficult to conjecture,
They do the r best still to retain la heavy
grasp of mo tmain on what the g have ac-
cumulated, ## eking their hand felt al-
though in ti e grave; they subject the
inevitable b quest to all sorts of condi-
tions, some mes making the business so
knotty that iobody but the lawyers get
any of the p operty at all, and sometimes

ing such me hes that the whole .creeps
through, an is inherited free of any
condition. eaving it so, they must
suffer in the eaving it almost sufficiently
to punish thun for the suffering they oc-
ceston while hey hold it.
For it is • ifficult to over-estimate the
suffering eau ed a sensitive girl by the
shabby appa el she is obliged to wear,by
the schobl bo ks she is obliged to borrow,
the pleasures she is obliged to forego,the
mean home ii which she is obliged. to see
an acquaint nee, where such a father
rules; or ea sed to a wife by her sym-
pathy with «er children, 'or by similar
evidence, of die superioiity I of her hus-
band's love for money over his love for
herself.
Certainly t ese men must, be distitute
of family affe tion in any intense' degree,
for we have known familiee who have
lived on littl but oatmeal from year's
end to year's nd, and sold half the milk
of the cow at that; who had never so
much as the ars of the yearly pig that
was sold to tt e butcher, who, though
they worked 'n the garden, had none of
the vegetable, and who woold as soon
have touched he fruit of the -tree of life
as have dared to pick an apple; yet the
father sat in ligh places,aod w, as respect-
ed as a mone ed man, with the vague
aura serroun ing him that somehow
seems always o accompaoy the poses -
stens of mone , even in the hands of the
most unworth'iv stead of being execrat-
ed as a ruffian for his cruelty to animals,

sometimes it is a. puzzle to us whether
they realty do love money as a poesessioa
or as an abstract entity to Which henot
is due ; for we 'nave heard of one ofthen
who,
droppinti dime beneath a door -sill
and finding his own efforts unavailing to
remove it, hired a laborer to take up the
door stone, and/ paid, him a quarter for
the job. Yet it is possible that such a
case as that only emphasizes the love of
it, since the recovery of Ore dime was
felt to be wort the greater sum; and
quite as possib y the oomphtation of the
interest on tha dime'lying idle and lost
for all time, we'ghed heavily in the bal-
mice against th expencliture of the game
ter for value re eived in work; and there
may, after all, aye been enly a bragga-
docio about it a sacrifiee of real feel-
ing in the fancy that it might afterwards
be said, "He does not love meney so
mole as exactitude and justice." r
Such men are almost iovariably as tyr;,
anical as they are close-fieted, indeed the
exercise of theie dominant qoality obligee
them to hold the rein closely. The re,

" we are using a great dee' of light in
these hard tithe-. Two caedles are an ex-
travagance nowadays. 1 think, consider-
ing the high pipe of living Nye must con-
tent ourselves with burning one candle;
no matter who it may be that drops in in

And the slave ()trite agreed.
But on coming aome the; next night,'
what was his amazement 0 find two can-
dies burning! e quietly extinguished

"I don't know what you mean," an-
swered the slave„ with a flicker of indig-
nation. "1 was only burning the one;
I took one candle.and cut it in two."
It seems to ris that soch people as
these are really joutside the pale of hu-
manity. ' They afford only pain, and DO
pleasure during their lives, and their
deaths might be called their first praise-
worthy act. Families have rights as
well as heads of ' families, and it is not
even questionable how far a man is war-
ranted in humiliating his wife and daugh-
ters and sons in order to gratify any
whim or idiosyneraey of his even that is
net founded in law and logict There are
sum of society ho do not deserve well
but few wives ;vtid daughters in all the
of their husbancle and fathers. In the
great number there are not naany who
would commit orwish to commit, unjus-
tifiable xtravagances if they were in-
ormed of the fats of the case, and there
are still fewer who, if a course of penur-
ousness were neceesary and right for any
desirable or laudable object, or even if
hey were only assured that it was so by
ne whom they trusted, I woald not do
heir best, and "eke everY personal sac-
ifice in carrying it out. We have seen

ether's notion of saving, when there was

rwise kind, and they felt that to be a

ban the pleasure an opposite course could
ield them. And for such wives and
aughters who may be uneble to better
ircurnstances either throogh youth or
1 health, by self -exertion, we think the
ressure of public opinion should exert
s authority, and compel sufficient de-
ency of appearance for the victims to
el that they are certainly of the value

A Pet Student.
The University of Leipsic recently had
a pet student, Ile Was a young Raseian,
whose zeal for science and brilliant ac-
quirements and gentlemanly deportment
made him popular with the professors
and his companions. Lately he was
graduated in the high honors, receiving
the degree of master of arts' -end special
compliments from one of the professors.
The next day the particular professor
received a call from a beautiful young
woman, who addressed the savant as
follows:
"I desire, professor, before I depart
from Leipsic, to express to you my most
hearty thanks." •
The puzzled professor asked: "Thanks
for what ?" °
The lady continued:
"I was married to the old Prince—,
My husband died insolvent sem° years
ago, 80 I was left without even bread.
I resolved to seek the neceseary means
of subsistence in science. It is now
more than three years thathere in
Leipsic I have been a student. The
student who lately passed examina-
tion, and whom] you considered as
worthy of distinction, is none other than
myself."
The old professor's eyes were opened.
The lady thanked. him again, and car-
ried off her blushing honors to Russia.
This beats all the Stories of *omen who
have unsexed themselves for sailors and
soldiers, and the object and complete
triumph of the disguise is its own suffi-
cient justification.
Cost and Profits of Poultry.
I have ascertained from actual weight
'
in wintering 130 f wls that it takes one
quart of grain per ay for every ten fowls
between Novembe ist and April 80th.
The actual cost per head for six months
was 50 cents, and the averege yield of
eggs p$head was Worth abut the same
amount. The fowls were almixture of
various breeds, such as is , common in
most farmers' yards. So it seems that
with only common care and conveniences
the average of the ordinary fowls pay
their way in the six whiter months, and
of course, are kept et a profit,taking the
whole year into Consideration. With
wheat at two cents per pounI, if a single
,l
fowl will consume six pound per month
it will cost $17 23 to keep one
dozen hens for one year on
wheat, and it will take 70 dozen eggs
at 25 cents per dozen to pay for their
feed. An average hen will ly 100 eggs
per year. Twelve hens wou d produce
100 dozen eggs, or 30 dozen above the
cost of keeping. As fowls consume a
a, great deal of feed costing much less
than wheat, the cost and pro.* can be
reckoned accordingly. In thvtn it costs
bout as much as it comes to to keep
ens. In the country and en :chicken
c
hes the profits are large. —Dr. E. L.
