WILL'S WILL, AND 1R -TS
TWO THANKSGIVINGS.•
_
The judge turnect purple. If a pin on
his table had peekedup- in his face and
, gone Off like a pistol, he Would not have
been more astounded.; never before had
his will beeu defied by auybody. "Wh-
wh-what do you mean, you , little -
hussy ?" he stammered, fairly choked
with fury.
"Just what I said, father. I have
promised Will White to marry him,
and I mean to keep my promise."
The judge swore a loud aud mighty
oath; it Was not his habit, and Annie
-was both shocked and 'startled. He
saw it in her start of surprise and look
of dismay, and went on:, "Don't you
dare -to look at hini again, much less
to-" His head began to swira, and
his sight grew dark ;t'he fell to the floor
insensible.
When he EtWoke,. the scene wa
changed ; he lay an his own bed, welt
as a man could be, unable to lift han
or foot, even to fully open the lids hen
under which he peered doubtfully abet
him. Annie and Dr. White steed by
little table, the doctor dropping som
medieiue, aud Annie looking on. Pres
ently she spoke, in a guarded voice, bu
the judge heard. her.
"Will he:live?" she said.
The doctor lobed up at her tenderly.
"Yes, clear, be will get over this attack,
at least, and he may live for years; but
he will have to be careful, apoplexy
is not a matter to tidfle with."
"But I am so glad he is better!" ear
nestly answered the girl.
"And so am I, Annie. I want him to
like me, you 'know. .
The judge could not believe his ears.
_
For years he had hated this young fel-
low -whenever he happened to think
• of him, that is. Within • a few weeks
past he was conscious that his most
fervent wish had been to get latin out of
the way in some manner -neither death
nor exile would have been .objection-
able -ad yet the man wanted him to
live, and had been doing his best to
save him from deatla The judge slant
his eyes and feebly meditated the mat-
ter, but he said nothing. - "Night brings
counsel," says the proverb, and so may
sickness, for it has the night's silence
and leisure for thought.
When the judge got better,. and crept
about with a staff; he found be had
learned a lesson from the death -so
closely faced. He did not say anything
to Annie, but it was significant that he
kept silence. Mrs. Hall could not un-
derstand it, and. Cynthia said "he'd got
a warnin'." Perhaps she was right: he
had certainly got an enlightening, if
nothing more; and Annie who daily
expected he would resume Le conversa-
tion so sadly interrupted, began to
wonder if the fit had really erased
from his memory the passion and -fury
which bad brought it on. But they all
misunderstood hire ; he was chewing a
cud of bitter thought and fancy all this
time. To have been on ' the edge of
death. is to see things differently after
we return from thdlove brink. Judge
Hall had learned there to respect the
cairn judgment end strong character of
his daughter's %ever. He knew well
what an advent ge Will White might
take any day of annie's very wilful int -
tire -a nature 7-,: itherto dormaut be-
cause never thw rted„ but which; he
himself had distovered ouly of late.
He could see that this young man had
worked himself into a positiea 'where
he would soon be indepeudent. He
knew, too, that his days were number-
ed ; another shock of apoplexy would-
.
be his deathesigu i ; and the judge took
such counsel wi h his own heart as
drove him to re -at his Bible with differ-
ent eyes. from these that had made its
perlisal a mere Ceremonial Observance
before.
A year went on now in quiet. Will
was not yet ready to take Ann e away
from her home, but letters w rit con-
stantly back and forth between them.
The judge grew there and more gentle
and gracious frona week to week. Annie
loved -him as never before, and Mrs.
Hall gazed at him with a mild and
tearful awe that found broken expres-
sion to Miss Cynthia:
'He's a-ripenin' fyr heaven, Cyuthy,
he is. He's a changed - man. Why,
he's jest like a cosset lamb about the
house ; he don't take Inc to do as he
, psed to -not once in a -week."
'Well, I told ye he'd got a warnin4.
Folks that is so masterful as ' he was
has to get a good knook 'most always
- before they die. I dono but w aat the
judge was a Christian helix° 1 ow; he
was a profeesor, I know, but h didn't
seem to be no great-efist at it ; didu't .
make a business on't, so to spea c. But
now he's seen his latter end clu to, as
you may say, and it's quite affe tin' to
him. I shouldn't wonder bu what
he's experienced religion over a •aiti.'

another year of patient econonay aud
steady work had passed by, lie was able
to send even a larger sum to Dr. Hyde
than he hadpromised, and to keep half
the house, which hitherto he had
leased to two ,families, and install his
mother as hthisekeeper.
It wanted now a year of the ten he
had promised himself to ; achieve a
home. He had succeeded beyond' his
hopes. But 'before Thanksgiving Day
came he was called again to !Cranapton.
Judge Hall was stricken Once more
with apoplexy. This time he rallied
more slowly than before, and Will spent
his Thanksgiving away from hismother
:for tbe first time in years, watching the
faint spark of life flicker, tremble,
gather strength; and at last: burn up
amain in this old man's .boom. The
judge returned to this world's affairs
mote humble and grateful than ever.
Ile knew his time was short,' dud a
niouth after, sitting by his bedroom
s fire, the wreck of his old poMpous, dcg-
k matic, ruddy self,, he called Annie in a
d broken whisper.
n She dropped her work and came.
t "Annie," he said, feebly, "you've
a been a good, patient girl but I don't
e suppose you've given up that fellow 2"
- "No, father."
"Well, you haven't fretted a,nd pe
tered me a bit, and I'm free to say the
I think better of him than I did. I
you will have him, why I don't say lin
what I'm willing -now." -
Annie bent over and kissed. hi
tenderly. She could. not sayi anythin
"But, Annie," the judge went o
"don't never set up your will again t
his as you have against mine. If y u
do, I tell ye you'll come to grief; his is
the biggest; he's rightly named."
"Perhaps I shan't want to," laugh d
Annie, shyly.:
"Don't lot on that; you're; a Woma
and they -all wan't their way, from E e
down" muttered the old man wit
eentle sarcasm.
"Dear inc ! I do hope he ain't
o die jest as he gits real plea. ant to
ve-with,",quavered Mrs. Hall.
"Law sakes; Soahrony ! why don't
-on take it Vother enl fust ? Folks
left uoway fit for the next world ef
hey ain't fit for this-leastways not for
he heavenly part on't. I should think,
ow, you'd. have reelected his immortal
oul fust thing."
Mrs.. Hall sighed, self -convicted.

When Dr. Hyde had beea away al-
ost two years, he wrote home to say
hat his brother, after lingering beyond
ny precedent, had at last. died, his
ie having preceded him to the grave
ut few weeks, and bothehad extract -
from the doctor a . promise that he

hem till their marriages ,should take

uug little sum in the Dartford Bank
or his old age, his brother left hina as
etch more, safely invested, and the -
ood-will of his pradice and.. his corn-
ortable old house were worth some-
besidese so that he had no need. to

A Long Search for a Gold.
Dollar.
A letter from Lanabertville, New
Jersey, tells this interesting story about
•a gold dollar: "A 'young lady of this
place has a. gold dollar, with a mono-
gram inscribed upon it, which hap been
the subject of a great deal of attention.
It was attached to a bracelet ' by a
chain. One evening in the l'atte part
of February last, after a sleig -ride,
she missed it. The broken chain
showed how it had disappeared. &tech
was made, but it rwafi of ne avail.
Finally an advertisement caug t the
eye of an habitual loafer about town.
He went to the house and said t he
had found the dollar below the s eps of
the sleigh th.e ,moruing after the ride,
and had spent it for whiekey at a sa-
loon. The friends of the young lady
were determined to find the dollar if
possible. The saloon -keeper reheem,
bered receiving the money, but he had
paid it to a butcher. The latter recol-
lected pa.ying it over to a drover in
Trenton. The address of the rover
t was secured and a letter written him,
f requesting a reply at once. It dame,
t with the information that he had,. pur-
chased a ticket to Philadelphia t ith it
the Very day the Lambertville- b tc er
gave it to him, and that the Tr n on
ticket agent had remarked abont the
monogram.
"The search was continued. Tbe
agent remember°cl the dollar, and said
he laid it aside forr a few hours, , but it
was forwarded to tho general office in
Philadelphia with the dailyeaacpunt.
, The receiver of the Now Jersey redeipts
st Philadelphia was next corresponded
with. The beautiful monogramhad
been noted, but the dollar had been de-
posited in the bank: His opinion was
that it could be obtained of the cashier.
The cashier Was communicated witb.
His attentioi.is had been called to the
initials on the back of the dollar by one
of the clerks, and he had instructed the
clerk to place it aside for a few Weeks.
Unfortuuately, in the absence Of the
clerk, a gentleman°, desiring several
hundred dollars in gold, Preparatery to
as California trip, had been famished
with the amount, and the little piece
had in some way been mixed with that
sum and gone westward. The gentle-
man's name was furnished, and. a letter
was sent to him.
_ I
"The events so far describedtook
place in March, and the remainder of
the spring and all summer passed with
' no tidings from the loktipangle. A few
days ago, however, there came a letter
from Detroit, written by the gentleman
who had gone west, which said that his
health had been poor, so that instead of
retuning at once from California, as he
proposed when he started, he had Stop-
ped at Colorado Springs for the summer
to recuperate. • The letter relating , the
account of the dollar had been delayed
and not forwarded, so that he neve re-
ceived it uutil he reached Chicago. He
said he had the dollar in his posses ion,
as the monogram attracted his notice.
The initials were the same as thole of a
young friend of his, and he had kept
the coin on that accotint. He proinlised
to Send the dollar as should be directed.
He was as good. as his word, and i the
ittle gold piece is back in Lanibert-

"Then P11 make his way my way,da.
dv, and we shall both be suited."
• "Hear said the judge, contemptuou
ly.
But he did not live to see it. Th
Will that orders us all, even qur wilfu
ness and our resolves, sent thej third an
last summons before spring ri ened iut
summer, and the judge was g thered t
his fathers.
When the .tenth Thanksgiving after
that solitary feast in the kitchen canal3
about, Will White, his mother, his wif,
and his -wife's raother were seate
around the table in Judge Hall's dining
room, for the house belonged now t
Annie, and Will had taken the Cramp
ton doctor's place, as the judge's moue
was enough to set them far a,beve, want,
and Annie loved her old home too well
to leave it, besides which Dr. !Grey had
esix children and an ailing wife, and was
glad enough to exchange Crampton for
Dartford.
The dinner -was abundant and ele-
gan1,. but, with a touch 6f uncoliscious
poetry, the widow White had placed
before Will a. covered dish ; he lifted
the lid, and saw before him Eli piece of •
boiled salt pork ands, few potatoes..
Will's eyes dimmed as he looked
from the dish to his rnotier.

Disagreeable and jA_voeabie -
Housekeeping. '
I believe I have 4s n1u3l1 liking . and
admiration for iseetheSS and eleaulthess
as any housekeeper; but there is an
unpleasant style of neat housekeeping I
neither like nor admire, where every-
thing is put awaV and oonsidered too
(mod to be used, and whee one is pur-
sued with broom .and dusting brush
from morning until nig t, *hie the
housewife's. high-pitched roice is .incese
sandy bemoaning the awul amount of
work she has t� do. Nolte if any
one i''atn be comfortable in Such an
establishment, she must be fiFery in-
sensible to the Words of ir.s mistress. I
never knew one of thee expessively
neat housekeepers that w s noo a scold
and a fault-finder-ausuall t °rough. -
bred. virago.
I heard aeri lady once Say that :She
liked to visit peopl.e who *ere xtreme-.
ly neat, for she went home ii s, ired to
do her owu . work more tho oughly.
But I always feel uneotnfOrtab e for a
mouth afterward for fear I iiaa set a
chair out of its place, or eft an .mane-
ceesary crease whenefoldit g ny napkin.
Then, imagine ney- horro w len such
people visit me, and poke ar • tiude into
corners and closets and out-of-
the-way places to iscoVer any-
thing amiss, and woe to e if a spider
has spun his web since y ?aste visit
with the broom! •
Pray do not think that am, an ene-
my to order and neatues ; for I truly
admire both, and believ iu keeping
everything as cleaa as ossible iu
quiet, unobtrusive way, and letting
well enough alone. Have home pleas-
ant enough for. one to ret in Without'
continually thinking of th.e labor it
takes to keep it in order, so..that one
can relish his food 'without swallowing
with each inouthful a protest that it
has been prepared -at the expense Of so•
much. strength. I have thought some-
tinles I world.rather go with one meal
day -and that a crust.
.Theee extra -nice housekeepers so sel-
dom get their work done, and pit down
for a quiet, restful time. With an old,
fadekl-oukcalico dress on -their dresses
are always •fadecl-pleeves rolled up -and
a distressingly homely -apron_ on, they
work from morning until night, clean-
ing where it is clean.
The other extreme in housekeeping is
far more disgusting, where the break-
fast table stands uncleared. in the mid-
dle of an Untidy„ uesseept room until
the middle of the forenoon, anil the one
whose business it is to look after these
thints stands or lounges arceind, look-
ing out. of the window or reading cheap
novels, while she is adorned with a
greasy, soiled dress, slippers down at
the heels, and bangs done up in papers.
While idling away the tithe, she knows
she will have to do the work when it
must be done, and suffers more in
dreadiug it than in Performing it, for
it is harder to Took forward to than to
If work is done when it ought to be,
and done properly, a woman of ordin-
vile once more."

A -Wedding Ring.
The other day, when a young'
had pulled off two big mittens froth
hands and stuck one into each po
and backed up to the counter i
Main street jewelry store, be had still
sufficient strength to ask if they kept
finger -rings there. The jeweller wanted
to make a, sale, audile answered, ;
"We do. What sort of a ring do you
