She had real good jedgment," said Widow Brooks to Miss Eunice Pell, as they sat together at a funeral, in the pause that followed the religious services and allowed the neighbors to file silent- ly by the coffin and look at the stern features of the dead, settled now into that dumb- and wonderful repot. un- known to hfe or sleep. " Well, I expect She hed," said Alias Eunice, nodding her rusty black bonnet at the widow's. She was a -master hand to tell her jedgments all abroad, too; she didn't make no bones about sayin' whet she thought of folks, be they who they inset. "Well, I dono as that's what I meant. I was thinkin' about her faculty for housework and. sech. You never see no poor bread, nor soft pickles, nor no worked preserves to hex house; seemed as though she knew jest the identical /Marne cream had riz all it would, or bread had rose jest right." There would have been more than one echo to Miss Ennice's characterization of the departed Mrs. Weeks, if the un- spoken had been the spoken thought of several who had "viewed the corpse," as country phrase had it, and wondered in themselves what sort of atmosphere in the accepted idea of Heaven would suit the out gone soul, or which of the nalny 112aTisiortS " would be a congenial home for the rigid spirit earthly com- panions had never suited. Let us record one of her "judgments." When Mary Prince married Augustus Barber and settled down to her life in Barton, she knew just what she was coming to; her haeband was a, poor man, beginning life as a dealer in a small way in flour and feed. Her pre- parations had been simple and inexpen- sive, for she was not able to spend money feely, being a poor minister's danghter. Augustus had meant to atudy for the ministry, but his health failed;.active life was ttieremptmily ordered for him, and in the clear air of Barton he had become well again and comparatively strong. Both he and Mary took an active partin the Sunday Sol:mole and made friends as naturally. and easily as two bright, kindly young penile will in an ordinary New England village. Mrs. Deacon -Weeks was a widow; her patient,' excellent husband had been dead five years, But she was a woman oldominant temper and critical disposi- tion, and magnified her husband's office, even after be laid it down, into a need- ful supervision of her neighbors and their affairs, particularly if they were members of the church. Now, Mary Barber had. relations who were wealthy and generous, and often gave her presents of articles they knew very well she could not buy, and she accepted them with the meekness and gratitude necessarily educated into the children of those laborers of the minis- try WhO are never paid their due hire, and so have to take gifts of charity. But Mrs. Weeks knew nothing about Mr. and Mrs. Barber except that they were poor. When a cousin, just going into mourning for her father, sent to Mary the pretty eilks,soft cashmeres and black lace hat wreathed with pansies, for which she had no further use, they came to the little woman as a real gtal- send. "Oh,, GUS i" said she, “Look here 1 she what Georgy has sent me 1 Nowe I shall not have to buy a dress for tVeo years at the very least. I can inst short- en all the dresses, for we could alwaYs wear each other's. things but for the length, and I heve not even a summer bonnet to buy, my last year's straw will do nicely for common wear." Mr. Barber, like most men, liked to see his pretty wife well dressed; they had been married two years; the trona -- seam was getting worn and a little dingy; the black silk needed trimming again, for its cheap fringe was already rusty, and Marry knew very well that there was no money to spare to renew even the ornaments of her scanty wardrobe, much less the gowns themselves; but here, on a quiet grey silk, was black lane enough laid over the knife -plaiting to trim all her old silk afresh, and the plaitings satisfied her tastes without lace above them; and very fair and ele- gant ate looked. in that gray dress, fit- ting her perfectly as it did, with gloves and parasol to match it, and the little French bonnet set on her waves of gold - brown hair. Rut Mrs, Weeks glared at her across the old meeting house with indignant eyes, and at the " noon -spell " prayer - meeting made a long arid loud petition that the young members" might be rebuked and convinced of the sin of pampering the lust of the eyes and the pride of life; that they might deny themselves of such extravagance and finery in regard to the poor, perishing body as read; scandal in the church, and come out and be separate from a sinful world. Mary Barber, just invited to join this select assembly which al, ways met during intermission at Widow Brooks house, wondered who Mrs. Weeks was praying at, for that her petition had a personal application was only too evident; after her first serene satisfaction at being well-dressed once naore, and her shy joy in her husband's admiration; Mary had not thought again of her dress. To tell the truth, it was far less in her mind than the frayed fringe of her black silk would have been, or the faded aspect of her lilao muslin. But she asked no question: of eourse, and went her way home to get her hus- band his piece of pie, "the Substitute for a 12 o'clock dinner that made Sunday a day of rein. Mrs. Brooks, however, was not so incurious, and. while three or four women lingered to eat their ltuach hi her kitchen, one of them also detaining Mrs. Weeks to aek some question about a mutual relative, the widow came for- ward with a smirk, and said, "Yon seemed to be real roused up in prayer today, Mie. Weeks, as though there was a coneern on your mind, now didn't ye?" "We'd, I did," answered Mrs. Weeks, with gelatin brevity. " I thought so," sighed Mrs. Brooks, but with instinctive tact asked no more. . There was a sort of expectant pause, euriouu eyes regarding her. Mrs. Weeks felt that she was expected to explain that she ought also to point a moral, so she continued, "1 had Mis"Gustus Barber in mind. I have felt as though she done well usually, and wore such clothes as was according to her means; but seeing her come out to -day with a span new Bilk gown, a real good silk, too, for I priced one just like it at Mather and Mix's for my niece Sophro- nia's weddin' gown, and she felt as -THE HURON EXPOSITOR. , though she couldn't see her way to buy It; and them gloves - and umbrysol to to match; and a bonnet all covered with flowers atop 4if her head, why, I felt as though it was my privilege to pray for her, and maybe to speaklo her about such mottal extravagance; there ain't no flourand. feed business in Barton 't'll keep of such dressin' as that:" n That* so!" echoed Mrs. Martin, "and I know he aint doing dreadful well, neither; for Paphro was into the bank thenther day, and tie heard Bar- ber a ankle' for an extension. I wonder they let hiin ley it." ii " Well,' said Widow Brooks, "folks -will bite o their noses while the world endures ;f ., but seems as though he'd know better'n to buy her such things:" " Psha,wrl—men don't know no more about clethes—women-folks' clothes, anyway, than they do about the moon," said Mr. Martin, who did not really persuade elothes enough to keep her respectable, from the tight grasp of "Paphroisr pocket -book. " I gueate he'll and out more'n he ever knew, when the bill comes in for that finery," event on Mrs. Weeks. "And, more oven' I think its my dooty to let the bank know what I think of it. I don't went to have our bank took in, no way." ' 1 " Wouldp't you wait a bit, andtalk to her, mabbe?" interposed Miss Eunice Pell, the yillage tailoress, who had not an exaltectopinion of Mrs. Weeks, hav- ing more than once suffered from her hasty judgment. "1. dtuano ; mabbe I won't go to -mor- row. If he's got an exteesion they can't help it now. I think I will have a talk with her; she had ought to see the error of her way, anyhow." . "Land 1" sighed Miss Eunice. But not en Monday or Tuesday did Mrs. Weeks deal with the offender. Unexpected company kept her at home. Wednesday, was sewing society day, and Mary Be.rher appeared at Mrs. Weeks' house, where it convened, dressed in her black silk sponged and pressed over tiil it looked like new, and trimmed with the handeorne lace abstracted from the gray silk; among Georgy's dresses ad wraps she had found a little box of French flowers, and a cluster of blush roses at heti throat fastened the pretty tie that wailzi also a gift—one of her wed- ding gift ii indeed. Mrs. Weeks was filled with pew horror, and Mrs. Brooks opened her !green eyes to their fullest extent. "Sake e alive 1" she said to her hostess. "Did you eyer 1 Just see that lace on her gowed. " It's real thread; I know 'tie. CoSt a dollar a yard if it did a penny. I never did!" If Mrs. Brooks had known white the lace did (lost perhaps her eyes never would leave shut again. Georgy Lasalle never gave a thought to the cost of her drese; that was left to the dressmaker whose bills were paid by her father without IqPestion. Nothing was too good for Georgy in his eyes, and to con- sider what she was -giving away when her father lay dead, never en- tered her mourning soul. Nor did Mary know a y better. She had not been I brought up in the knowledge of laces any mor than Widow Brooks, who had made a lholiy guess, when she suggested thread lane,without an idea of its real price. 1 Mrs. Weeks did not make a successful call at Mrs. Barber's on Thurenay ; she began wrong. She said at once on tak- ing a seat in Mary's tiny parlor. "1 have come to say a few warning words of adviee, Miss Barber, on the subject of your drees." Mary had a temper of her own, which long control had merged into dignity. "Excuse me 1" she said, coldly. "1 must decline to discuss such a personal subject with a mere acquaintance." "Well!" exclaimed the astonished visitor, "don't you think I haven't got no right to admonish a backslider in the chureh, 'specially one as young as you be ?" " No, I don't," said Mary, quietly. "1 decline to receive admonition except from my bueband or my pastor. If I had done you any harm or wrong, Mrs. Weeks, it would give you a right to talk to me en that subject. I cannot and will not receive criticism 012 my trivial affairs from you." " Trivial! well mabbe yon won't find they're So mighty trivial in the end on't !" and with this back -handed thrust Mrs. Weeks departed. I Mary was indignant, but at last begun to see a liadierous side to the affair, and resolved I not to tell Augustus about it lest it slaimld annoy him, for she knew he was anxious enough without hearing her small troubles. But lilt's. Weeks did not delay in her Work. Her nephew was general clerk in the little Barton bank, and was as frugal as an anchorite in his own expenses, because he had to be. Only last Sunday he had glanced across the church at Mary Barber in her elegant dress and bonnet, and sighed as he thought how such graceful attire would become his own dark -eyed wife, looking doubly wit ' and. tired in her well-wora Sunday snit, turned and freshened, and dyed over for at least six years. He was Penick te take the alarm and to sPread it before his employer, for it was a nrinate bank,this little nucleus of the monied interest in Barton, and Mr. _Short, who was at its head, made up his • mind to dive Barber no further eaten - Rion of credit. His son owned the flour mills at Cov- entry wherdBarber dealtiandneceived a hint to setultin his bill, which as a mat- ter of courtesy he had not pressed. Mne. Weeks related the upshot of her visit to Mary Barber at the coenter of the cotuatry store where she Met Min. Brooke, end' the storekeeper overhear- ing it, thciught it the part of wisdom to present his ecount and give a hint to th 3 butcher7 who was his brother-in- law. ' So the ball rolled on; not in days did it gather force enough to crush its ob- jects, but in the course of months it in- creased f3.11i grew mighty. Just as Mary Barber held to her breast a fair, frail little baby, new-born to the world of deprivation and distress that awaited it, her husbend failed, and failed hope- lessly. Mre. Weeks said, triumphantly: "I told you!so ! I always told Deacon Weeks that my -judgment of folks was worth hayin'. I can flee through a stun wall as wellies anybody." But while she plumed herself on her judgment, forgetting its results, Mary Barber, haring the story from her hus- band's lipS. Which she had read first in his face, laid down her whirling head on the pillow, too weak to fight against the fate that lead come upon thern. She and her baby went home together to the land iyhere we shall know as we are tnown. And her broken-down husba, nd left Barton fever, drifting awaY with the crowd of 1 homeless and hopeless men who pe ple the waste places of the land, living no man knows t how, dying no man kneva where. And all the result of one omen's hard, ignorant, uncharitable jr1gment of an- othetiit ell 1 she's judged liersoIf now 1" solil cinized Miss Eunice as in her turn she &used beside the tieffin to look at the rigid face of the dead Mrs. Weeke years after; "Wonder bow she likes it? Anyway He's merciful if she wasn't." And yet as she turned away, , an echo in her mind whispered: "For withwhat judgment ye judge ye shall be jledged." The Restlessness of Old Age. Those who have been much with the age have observed in th'em a chafing ,agaitist the infirmities 9f their years, whi h expresses itself ia reatlessnese and desire for change. They grow wea y of the inactivity eviiich has suci steed d the busier times. when they bore the beat and burden oi tbe day. And so sbmatimes they wander here an there, dropping in to visit a friend ; talkieg with a chance acquaintance trying thus to while away the tedion hours.f In mistaken kindenesa and unkin affection, we often oppress dear, age people by our very care. They dislik supervision. The tenth); watchfulnese which to us seems due td their physicai feebleness, as well as a Ifit return foe their care of us in earlier days, is by them resented as restraint. It atinoy them. Then, too, we try to take all th work out of their hands, and that the do not like. Nobody who has booti active or useful enjoys the feeling of being laid on the shelf. Grandfather's step is uncertain, Ins arm less vigorous than o old, but he possesses a rich treasure of experience and he likes to be consulted. It is hig privilege to give advice; his , privilege too, at times, to go into the field and work with the youngest, renewing hie youth as he keeps bravely up with hearty men not half his age. Grandmother does not ;rant to be lef out of the household wor. When th days 'come for pickling end preserving, and the domettic force is' 1 pressed. into serviee, who so eager and full of interest as she ? It is cruel to overrule her decisions, to put her aside. because "she will be tired." Of course she will be tired, but she will enjoy' the fatigue and rest the sooner for the thought thail she is still of use in the world. To those whose homes ere honoured by the presence of an aged parent we would say, deal very gently with those who are on the down hill'of life. Your own time is coming to be where the are. You, too, are "stepping west ward." Soothe the restlesenese of age by amusement, by considera.4on, by non4 interference, and by &Hewing plenty of occupation to fall in the hands that long for it. Only let it be of their own choosing, and cease to order their wayd for them as though they were children. A hoary head at the fireside is e crown of glory to the hopse where it dwells. The blessing of the aged is en dew on the pastures—as the falling of sunlight in a shadowy pleee. . I.li Dangers of the Water. I To vacation parties and others leavl ing the cities for the summer we corn.; mend the following from an eastern paper: Let tuaat tbe outset lay down a general rule to be obseryed, which, by experience, we have always found effo cacions. Wheuever yon hear a person loudly boasting of his superior skill iri sailing, rowing, riding, inknowledge of the country, etc., and asserting that under his guidance no harm can befall any persons with him, be 'on your guard immediately with that prson. Do not start with him if you earavoid it, on any expedition where his , skill may be called into action. And if you are obliged to start, keep a eimstant watoL upon him. But if, on thei other hand a person admits that th re is danger , but simply asserts that be will do all! in his power to avert it, should it come I do not fear to trust yourself to him, i yon know he has experiepee and skill. 1 Of all summer sports, Finning is per haps tberaost pleasurable and, at th same time, most dangerops. Numer ons lives are lost every venation season along our coasts, and on our inland lakes. It is a sport requiring the great- esteskill and experience, and emergen- cies will arise which gazzle the best sailors. The boats which are often used are very dangerous, having enormous spread of canvas and very little sta- bility. No one should uenture on th water in any kind of a Rail -boat who has not practised sailingfpr a longtime, and wit out a skilful captain or sailing man. ijhe foolhardy Way in which large pa ties of young girls and men go out without a competent person to man- age the boat, is most strongly to be con- demned. They are virtually at the mercy of any adverse weather, and it is only a wonder that more 1 aceidente do not happen. " Steam launches also are dangerous things, and accidents occar from their use every summer. Their machinery is generally very cheap and frail, and liable to get out of order 'at any time; and if this occurs, as it often does, when the little boat is in a swift current, it places it in greet danger. The waters of the North and East rivers which flow by New York have seen many of these tiny mosquito craft, as they are often called, disappear underneath the giant hull of some sound steamboat or ocean., steamer. • Rowboats ane generally considered safe, and in feet they do not possess the peculiar dabgers of steam and sail craft, but caution is necessary even in their use. They are very easily upset and should never be employed save by the most experienced oarsthen in any but sheltered. waters. • Woman's True Friend. A friend in need is a friend indeed. This none can deny, especially when as- sistance is rendered when one is sorely afflicted with disease, mops particular- ly those complaints and weaknesses so common to our female population. Every women should know that Elec- tric Bitters are woman's true friend,and will positively restore her to health even when all other remedies fail. A single trial always proves eur assertion. They are pleasant to the taste, and only cost 50 cents a bottle. Sold by E. Hickson & Co 772 52-2 REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.
