Extravagance was more than a fault, it was an actual sin, in the eyes of these prudent. simple -living folk,and you may have heard before the story of the ingeni- ous housewife, who, tired of the blank bareness of her yellow -painted floors, conceived the bold idea of manufactur- ing a carpet for it herself. A large square 'of sail -cloth served her for a canvas, and upon this she painted, with a few colora that she could procure, a pattern of flowers of every kind that she was familiar with—blue roses and green lilies having the preference, as making more show than their humbler sisters. This, when finished, she cover- ed with a thick coat of varnish, thus making a very good substitute for the more modern oilcloth. — Of course everybody, from far and near, came to look, and wondered and admired ;. and among them a good old deacon, who, after critically surveying the wonderful work,turned to the proud artist, and- with a look half of amaze- ment, half of Pitying reproach, upon his honest, weather-beaten face, asked solemnly: "Sister, do you expect to have all this and heaven too ?"—New England Magazine. are, of the character of Viepeople: Begin your web,and G A Flirt's Confession. "1 do not think that 1 ever flirted with the hope or intention of seriously winning men's hearts. It was fun to re- ceive their attentions and to be able to lure them away from other girls, and especially was this the case when the men were married or engaged. In most instances I think they went back to, their own and their own received them. Why did I do it. Well, I think the reason was this: I really liked all agreeable men and anything that looked like lack of appreciation on their part was so exceedingly distasteful to me that I straightway strove to overcome it. The young fellows just coming out came into my net as a matter of course for several years, but older men heard of me before being presented, and fought shy. I did not understand this then. I thought they disliked me, whereas it ' was probably caution or disapproval, and I set myself forthwith to disarm the caution and change the disap- proval to liking. It was simply un- pleasant to me to have anyone in- different. I have cried time and again on myw way home in the carriage, simply because some one whom I wanted to please seemed indifferent. Several times I was actually caught with tears on my cheeks by those of whom was thinking, and I always managed to let them guess the reason of my tears. That was always effectual. It never failed to bring about the desired end, but I declare solemnly that I never did it on purpose—cried, I mean—and I never intended to be caught in tears. I suppose that most men will refuse to be- lieve this, but it is true. I was simply at my wits' end with wretchedness be I thought some one had taken a dislike to me.' —The Hour. • When Grover Proposed to —It happened on Sunday night about two hours after the benediction had been said. They had forgotten about the "pearly gates ajar," and had talk- ed elaborately of all noted females, from Mary Anderson to Mend S. Pres- ently a hill occurred in their conversa- tion, when the young man hitched his chair upto hers, and, nervously finger- ing the fringe of her shawl, said; "1 am about to ask you a very important question. "Are you prepared for it ?" am," she said, fixing her mouth. "Will you"—here his voice grew husky, and he'stopped and drew a breath as lone asa rake's handle.

He offered to furnish the money, and, as he liked the presi- dent, he was enthusiastic on the subject of the marriage. The European trip was afterwards talked over with the president. It was finally agreed upon, and the grandfather agreed to furnish enough money for a magnificent ward- robe for the bride. The whole affair was to be kept_a secret, and the marriage was to take place inunediately upon the return of Miss Folsom from Europe. — New York Sun. How toayBitter Things.

The vilest criminal is entitled to a little reprieve. I put the manuscript away in a drawer. Next day I look at it. The ink is cold; I read it over and say: I don't know about this.

"There are some mighty green men in this world," said the passenger from the west, "and I struck one of 'em a week or two ago. If I hadn't I wouldn't be here now. Last spring I went into Western Nebraska and homesteaded a quarter section. I hadn't seen the land, but took it supposin' it was all right. But when I got there I found it already inhabited. About 160 acres of the 160 were covered with a prairie -dog town. Well, I concluded to settle down and see what I could do, and I'm mighty glad now that I did. About two weeks ago I was up to the railroad station try- ing to get trusted for some bacon and. flour and terbacker, an' feeling right smart discouraged. I was out of money and grub, a.nd the winter was comin' on fast, an' I could't see any way out of it but to eat prairie dogs, an' theyre mighty hard to catch. But that day was the turningpoint in my luck. While I was at the station an Englishman got off the cars, an' said as how he was out lookin' for a place to make an invest- ment. Said he'd heard of the fur busi- ness, an' wanted to know if he was out in the fur country yet. "'Furs, says I, there hain't no f—an' just then an idea struck me,an' I chang- ed my tune. Furs,' says I, ',there hain't no better fur country than this on 'arth. Just come out to my place till I show you my fur farm." "And he went out with me, an' I showed him the prairie -dog town, an' as luck would have it, it was a bright, sunny day, an' the dogs was scootin' around by the hundreds. " Talkin' about furs,' says I, what d'ye think of that? I've been six years growin' those mink, an' hain't sold a hide, It's all natural increase. Guess they's 'bout seven thousands of 'em now, an' they double up every year. How many will there be in ten years ?" "You oughter seen that English- man's eyes open as he took out his pen- cil an' figured it up. He made it 7,168- 000mink. " Well,' says I, "call it 5,000,000, to be on the safe side. it won't cost $1 to keep 'ern, either, an' if they're worth a cent they're worth $1 apiece. There's millions in it." " Then we got right down to business, an' in less than an hour I had sold out for $7,000 cash, an' the next day I paid $320 for the homestead at the Land Office, got my patent, transferred it to him and took the first train for the East." —Chicago Herald. Frankie, the Air was full of Roses. He (Cleveland) felt so delicate about it, however, for the reason that Miss Folsom was so much younger than himself, and that she was his ward. Still he thought she loved him, and he knew that he was more and more in love with her every day. This was the state of affairs when Miss Frankie and her mother came at his invitation to spend a week or so at the White House during last Easter vacation. They thoroughly enjoyed the visit. President Cleveland was being exalted to the skies in the newspapers, and the, air_ of toadying Washington was full Of his praises. The warm White House was very beautiful in contrast with cold New* York. The grass was beggining to creep out of the ground, and the buds were showing signs of _bursting forth into the early leaves of spring:- The crocuses were in bloom. The president's mansion was filled with flowers from its greenhouses, and the great conservatories were one mass of blossoms and green. It was the day after a reception, mid the family, had just eaten dinner from the elegant china and fine cut glass Of the presiden- tial table. Miss Folsom had picked up the elegant boquet du corsage which was laid beside her plate. President Cleve- land, contrary to his usual custom, came to the table in full dress. His day, had been a pleasant one, and he was feeling very good humored. The dinner passed off very agreeably. Mi sa Folsom was talking of her school days, and she kept the party in a roar of laughter by her stories of Wells College, and the secret love affairs of 'the beautiful girls who attended it. She had never seemed happier, and the president thought he had never seen her look more beau- tiful. After the dinner, which lasted about one hour, the party adjourned to the blue parlor for ci moment,and then began to scatter,Miss Cleveland going up stairs and Mrs. Folsom settling herself back into a chair and devoting her attention to a story which she was reading. Mies Folsom and the president were talking together, standing at the door leading; to the corridor, a,nd looking at the por- traits of the presidents which:line its walls. A moment later they strolled clown towards the east room, and then strolled arm in arm into the conservatory. This was dimly lighted, and the air was full of roses. They walked up and down its aisles between the banks of flowers for perhaps a full half hour, talking earnestly, and their voices were as ten- der as the forget-me-nots they passed, and their conversation, decidedly per- sonal to themselves, was under the rose in more senses than one. They came from the conservatory with a happy look upon their faces. Miss Folsom was blushing deeply, and the president held in his hand a red rose from her boquet du corsage. The engagement had been made in the conservatory. Itwas not an- nounced to Mrs. Folsom until a day or two later, and to Miss Cleveland even later still. Shortly after this Miss Folsom wrote to her grandfather telling him of her Proposed marriage,and Grand- father Folsom, who was withal a sen- sible fellow, proposed at once that Miss Folsom be taken to Europe and spend some time in travel to fit herself for the position she was to assume as the first tell you -how I write mean d bitter editorials, my boy. , when a man has pitched into me up rough, and I want to im, and wear his gory scalp le, and hang his hide on my ite the letter or editorial that the business.

I have heard a story of a good lady who lived at that time in a town not a hundred miles from Boston, which gives one some idea of the straits to which our grandparents were often reduced in those days : Watching, one bitterly cold night with a sick neighbor, she heard, at midnight, the little children crying with cold in the loft overhead, and leaving her sleep- hiec'patient, she went upstairs, and tried to find an extra quilt or blanket to spread over them. But in vain, for in that poor home there was not so much as a shoulder -blanket that could be spared. At last, in utter desperation, she spread_ over the shivering little ones a side of leather, that she found rolled up under the eaves. it kept out the cold, anyhow," she said, as she told the story years after- wards, "And.the poor little things Stopped their (Tying,' and cuddled -down as contented an' comfortable as a nestful o' kittens." If there was little of poetry or romance in the lives of those hard-working, hard farming men and women of a past gener- ation, there was no lack of the patient -diligence and simple, unquestioning faith that give strength to weakness and sweetened toil with the steadfast belief that, to the faithful heart and willing hand, God'a blessing never fails.

Such, we may truly say, is the. case of Miss Charlotte Hall, who, after a long life of useful- ness has just passed away in her 76th year. No one will ever know the numbers who have been the recipients of her hos- pitality and bounty. Her house was open to all, it mattered not whether they were strangers or friends, they one and all received a hearty welcome, and if in distress, she, without being rich as the world counts riches nowadays, was by her careful simple manner of living and good judgment enabled to relieve them in such a way that they were permanently benefited. In her the true "charity" or "love," so beautifully de- scribed by St. Paul and so very rarely seen in life, was exemplified. "She suffered long and was kind, was not puffed up," sought not her own, rejoiced not in iniquity, but rejoiced in the truth, believed all things good (`sf her neighbors, or at least hoped it, and if hopeless she then endured it silently. Her charity never failed, she gave in the true Christ like spirit, expecting nothing in return. Her place • will be hard to fill, and amongst her immediate friends can never be, but we hope that God in His love will endue others with a double portion of her spirit, whose whole object in life was to follow the example of the Saviour she loved so well and benefit all she came in contact with. The later clays of Miss Hall, who was a sister of the late Dr. Hall, were spent in the mansion at the head of Drummond street, to which the family removed when driven from the old homestead by its expropriation for park purposes, since which time it has done service as a small- pox himpital.—Witness.
