In a little village church in a small coun-
try place, a small Congregation gathered to-
gether oue Sunday. Lvety pew held people
well known to each other, and who knew
each other's business. Nobody there but
had heard that Thomas Benton had courted
Annie Redwood, and how all was going on
well, when the two grandfathers quarrelled
about an acre of ground in a stony, unpro-
ductive spot, and a family feud commenced,
and they were separated.
And there the obstinate old grandfathers
sat, not caring a whit for all the trouble they
had caused, and never forgiving each other's
trespasses, despite the fact that they repeated
the Lord's Prayer together every Sunday.
Sometimes in summer there would be
strangers froth the city in church ; but now
it was winter, and every one wondered to see
a large old woman in a great fur hood comp
into church, and seat herself in a back pew
Who she was no one could guess, and why
she cau.e to church with such a cold as she
seemed to have was a wonder to all. She
coughed loud and long, interrupting the ser-
mon and the prayer, and at last was seized
with such a tit of choking that every head
was turned. She seemed to try to rise, but
found Herself unable to do so. Then Annie
Redwood, leaning towards her mother, whis-
pered :
"It's a shame ! People ought to be more
Christian -like in their conduct. I'll go and
help her out."
Then she arose and went softly down the
aisle, and bent over the old lady and whisper-
ed something, on which the poor old soul
arose and took her arm, and they went out of
church together. The coughing was heard
outside for a moment or two, but the services
went on as before, and no one wondered that
Annie Redwood did not return.
The family expected to find her when they
reached home, of course ; but she was not
there. She did not come in to dinner, nor
did she come to tea. By evening much alarm
was felt, and inquiries were made, but with-
out avail. No one had seen the girl since
she left the church doors.
There was a Sunday train to a large city,
and a man kept watch at the station all the
day. Ile, seeing fewer passengers on Sunday
than at any other time, had noticed thein all.
The old woman in the plaid shawl had
come to the station, but Miss Redwood was
not with her.
A young than had been with the old lady.
Tho old lady could not be traced alter
that, and nothing more was heard of Annie
Retltvodd,
Many thought •tire old woman was some
dreadful person iu disguise, who had murder-
ed Annie for the handsome watch and ring
she wore.
The woods were searched" and 'the ponds
dragged, but in vain t and the poor girl was
at last given up for lost.
The old people had been very cruel to her
about Thoutas ; now they shed bitter and
unavailing tears. How ntneli better would it
Live been to let Annie marry, and have her
atilt with theta 1
The old grandfathers shook hands for the
first time for years. The families were re-
conciled ; but Annie was gone, and Thomas
was gone, and what was the use ?
f only I knew what became of` my, girl,"
, sighed Mrs. Redwood.'
"Ah, yes ; and if I knew my boy was
alive," said Mrs. Benton.
A year passed, and it was the day that
Annie had disappeared ; and they had all
gone to church as usual, and were going
homeward
Mrs. Redwood was in tears.
" I think of Annie all day to -day, " she
said. " 01, it is more than I can bear. Who
was that old woman ? What did she do to
my girl?"
"Oh, mother, there she is 1" cried one of
the daughters.
All looked. Before them on the road tot-
tered a large figure in a plaid cloak, coughing
violently. The same old woman, no doubt.
But who supported her? Who—
"Gnod Heaven 1 it is a ghost ! " screamed
Mrs. Redwood. " What is it 1 Oh 1 what
isit?"
"Annie," screamed the girls together ;
and screaming, sobbing, regardless of what
any might thunk of them, they surrounded
the pair.
It was Annie, alive, and holding fast to
the arta of the old woman she had helped out
of church just a year before.
" Don't question me on the road," she said.
" Let us go home."
And glad and angry, and a little terrified,
the Bentous and the Redwoods entered the
Redwood Homestead, and closed the door.
" We thought you dead, Annie," sobbed
the mother. `01, you have been cruel 1"
" But I 'see my death has reunited you
all," said Annie, returning the embrace.
" A11 are het e but Tom."
" 01, poor 'Pout ! " said his mother, " 1f
he were only here too ! "
^''vllut 1 must have an explanation," cried
Mr. Redwood, turning upon the old woman.
" Who are you, madam 7 And what life has
my daughter led. with you ? "
" A happy one, I hope, sir," said the old
woman, tossing olf her bonnet and throwing
away her edoak-; and before them stood a tall
yon ii man—Thomas Benton, and no other;
who said •
"° In this disguise I ran away with Annie a
year ago. We changed costumes in the
church porch, and so got safely oil. Now
the are here again, ready for your blessing,
if you will give it to us. Are we forgiven?"
It was Annie's mother who said "Yes"
Brat, but the others followed in chorus. •

COOLEY'S DOG,
Cooley's boy has &liver -colored dog, which
he hike, upon several occaeicne tirade. the sub-
jest of very interesting and instructive •ex-
periments. Originally the dogs tail curled up
over its back ; but Cooley's boy was preju-
dieed in favor of tails that hung down behind,
so after ainputatiug the dog's tail with a
hatchet, he spent a whole morning trying to
graft a skate -strap on the stump. It was not
a courageous dog. It•would bark all night
when nobody was about, but if a tramp came
neer • the house in the daytime the dog would
put the skate -strap between his legs, and go
in and lie down behind the stove. Cooley's
view was that he would prefer a fighting dog,
and one day he read in a paper that a tumid
dog could be made brave by filling his meat
with gnnpoWdor and red pepper. Accordingly
he put about it quarter of it pound of pepper:
and a little powder in some meat, rolled it up
in a kind. of a ball and tossed it to. the dog.
The dog swallowedit•as quick as a flash.
For a few moments the animal seamed con.
tented. But presently he gave a little start,
and then paused and looked around 'to see if
anything had. happened, Then he gave an-
other jump and began toassume a very solemn
appearance. • All of a sudden Ire uttered a
sharp howl, and began to circulate around the
garden.. He went faster,. 'and faster, •and
Cooley is willingto swear to at least four
hundred revolutions a minute. - Over, the,
gooseberry bushes, through the asparagus bed,
across the fences, among the bean -poles he -
flew with fury, snapping at Cooley as he pass-
ed him,.acarmg the chickens and setting them
to cackling, and. smelling the vegetation tc
ruin. The. louder Cooley called to him•to stop
the faster he went, and at last he got his gen
• and tried to shoot him. He slot fifteen times,
and`blew holes .into the smoke-houso door,
killed four chickens, and put half a pound of
quail Shot in his • Durhare cow ; but the•do,
still revolved, slid -went So fast that he looked
like a single streak of dog reaching all the
'way aroand the garden. -
At last'the'animal ran against the pump,
• and, being switched offofhis course, hedashed
through the kitchen door, -knocked; down the
stove -pipe, •whirled into. the dining -room,
across the table, smashing two dollars' worth
of crockiiry, biust : through the • open door to
the parlor, and brought.up against the nnr-
ror, Which ho shivered. to atoms. Then he
fell on the Brussels carpet, hail spasms around
over the floor •for. an hour or two, and finally
