BY MARGARET VANDEGRIFT. , Phil sprang from the buggy almost be-
fore she stopped speakingeand by the
time she reached his gate stood there
panting, with his Sunday suit rolled in-
-to a ball under his arm.
It's to *ear to -night," he explained,
throwing it under the seat as he jumped
in; drive on quick, Miss Prue, or they'll
all be at you at once 1"
Prue danced into the house. She had
a bad habit of conversing with herself,
and this was what she was saying :
"Two hours yet before father will want
hie breakfast ; now -for the notes! Let
nee see, twelve men for ten hours, that's
one hundred and twenty hours. If they
begin at six—and they easily can, if we
have the handed tea at half -past five—
and hoe till twelve, that's six hours
apiece; six into one hundred and twenty
goes twenty times. I want twenty girls,
and rn ask a few more, to make sure; I
don't believe I shall have any regrets;
but they mayn't all do their little best.
There are four Haylitts and three Robe.
sons, that's seven, and five Wilsons,
that's twelve, and two Oswaldie four-
teen, and three Rodolphe, seventeen,
and one Anderson—the Radolphe can
stop for her—that's eighteen, and four
Rhinehatts, that's twenty-two, and I'm
twenty-three; surely that will be enough.
What a supper I'll give them 1 Bob
would have raised all sorts of objections,
but father's reasonable; and there's all
those dear lemons, and. nearly all my
birthday cake, and heap of tomatoes,
and. eggs, and potatoes, and a whole bot-
tle of sweet oil left for the dressing,
thanks be to praise ! Of Ours°, every-
thing must be cold, and ready before-
hand, bat the ceffee and chocolate; and
rn have them ready, but ndt cold. Oh,
what fun it's going to be!"
And Prue caught up ail astonished
kitten, and whirled around the room
with it until they were both dizzy.
Then she sat down to her Writing desk,
and proceeded, with puckered forehead
and lips, to compose the following uote
DEAR GIRLS:
This is an appeal, rather than an in-
vitation. Will you all conk) to a hoeing
party this evening ? There will be a
very elegant, and of course light, handed
tea at 5:30; hoeing from 6 to 12; sup
per at 12 precisely. We ate to imagine,
when we sit down to s-apper, that we
have been dancing. Partiteders will be
given on the premises.
Sincerely yours,
, PRUDENCE, IIENDERSON.
Of this note she made eeven slightly
varied copies, adding to the notes, to
her moat distant guests, ran invitation
to remain for the night. 1 By the time
she had finished it was !nearly weven
o'clock, and she made ready a dainty
breakfast for her father. !
"1'm getting too lazy for anything,"
he said when she took it up. I believe
I watt well enough to cone down this
morning, Prue—you oughtn't to spoil
nee so."
a You're my only father, dear, so peo-
ple will excuse me," said Prue, giving
him the waiter and a kiss at the same
time. She sat by the window till he had
finished, then, putting the waiter on a
chair, she took his hands eoaaingly, say-
ing: 1
" I don't ever give you anything but
good advice, dear, do I? "I
"Not often ! " said he father, smil-
ing. " What treason are you hatching
now, Pine ? With it `11"
So Pru 4 unfolded her plan, and, to
her delight, and sorciewhitt to her sur-
prise, he entered. into it heartily. She
would have had less pleiture in his con-
sent, but would have Prized it more
coold she have seen the 'struggle which
went on in his mind While she was
speaking. He disliked Platting himself
under obligations to those who were mit
near and dear to him, and he was about
to say sa, when a happy second thought
made him try to regard the affair as
Prue and her friends would regard it.
He knew that all the girls whom she
proposed to invite were healthy, happy
damsels, to whom an evening spent in
hoeing would be no more exhausting
than one spent in dancing. He knew
that Prue would give them a royal sup-
per at the end of their work, and that
the friendly feeling which animated
their little colony would make that
work a pleasure. So he manfully sup-
pressed every doubtful or ungracious
word which occurred to him, and was
surprised to find himself, as the day
went on, planning and working with
Prue as if they were two school girls.
Sure enough, Mrs. Rudolph's mother-
ly face appeared at a window, and the
three smiling faces of her daughters at
the door, and &threefold shout of "Wait,
Prue! Wait 1 We're opining, of course,
but what does it mean?" was wafted
into the bziggy as Prue drove rapidly
away.
She was at home by eleven, and then
she "flew 'round." Sandwiches, for
which a ham had been boiled the day
before, cake and lemonade and tea were
to complete the elegant light refection -
at 5:30. Mr. Henderson "went on cut-
ting bread and butter" until his arm
aohed, but he would not stop until it
win; decided that the "handed tea
wolfed be inelegantly heavy if people ate
more than three sandwiches apiece,
and that the six dozen which Prue
proudly counted would be &lough. Then
he reclined on a laxurions conch com-
posed of hay and old quilts on the barn
floor, and directed Phil's zeal, which
-
was not entirely according to knowledge,
until the barn "looked like -a ball -room,"
Prue declared. The kitchen stove seemed
to have caught the spirit of the times.
Biscuit and cake came out "done to a
turn," and the coffee was browned to a
nicety. ' Phil ground it as boon as it was
roasted; and was like another pair of
hands and feet to Prue, so that by, three
o'clock all was in readiness excepting
what must necessarily be left until the
last moment. Prue had time for forty
winks" before she went to put on the
clean gingharti dress which she had de-
cided would, be suitable to the occasion,
and Mr. Henderson was induced to lie
down, although he dechtred that it was
quite unnecssery—he had not felt so
well for weeks'.
The curiosity which Prue's invitation
had excited made her guests unfashion-
ably punctual, ; by half -past five they
were all there; "taking off their things"
in the spare room. Prue explained the
the situation in a few words, and the
hearty sympathy and. approval with
which her explanation was greeted
warmed the ceekles of her heart. They
were impatiept to begin, and the light
'refreshment was disposed of as quickly
as imight be, though not without a flat-
tering appreciation. of the lemonade.
"I'm so sorry Bob can't be in it,'"
said Prue, regretfully, as she sprang in-
to the buggy, at eight o'clock, with her
basket ef notes, " but you see—don't
you, Fatherkin i—that all the. pride of
ell the Hendersons would have blocked
my way if I had breathed it to him, and
then I do wish to BOO his face when he
meets that cornfield to -morrow evening!
Now, be good while I'm gone. I'll come
back aa soon as I can, for I've a great
dead of trouble to Bee to ' before` this
evening."
The bread had been baking while
Prue was writing her notes, and the
borrowed flour was to make some sour -
cream -and -soda biscuit.
Prue planned and arranged, as she
drove rapidly from house to house, leav-
ing her notes at the doors, for she
thought that if she stopped to talk and
explain her niorning would be gone be-
fore she knew it. a Fortune favors the
brave and the observant. At the first
stepping -place Prue picked up a small
but devoted friend. of hers, who was only
top glad, for the sake of the drive, to
jump out and deliver the notes. He en-
tered keenly into the spirit of the enter-
prise, and begged so hard to be allowed
to come and "- help," that Prue told him
he might, if his mother were willing.
e He came out, flushed with triumph,
from the second. house at which they
stopped.
"Miss Pre°, dear Miss Prue, we're in
such luck " heexclaimed ; "here's Mr.
Haylitt's team going right past Oswald's
and Wilson's, on his way to Warrenton,
and he says he'd beak his horse to beat
yours, any day, and to just give him the
notes, and he'll have 'em there before
you could, and he says you're the plucki-
est girl in the county, and I said I knew
that this great while
Prite's knight stopped for breath, and
she handed him the tibtee, laughing and
blnehing.
Mr. Haylitt canto to the door with
word of hearty encouragement, a regret
that he could not go with "the girls,"
and a promise to send them along in
good time.
The two other notes were soon deliv-
ered, for Prue, determined not to be dig-
couragedeleft the answers to fate and
hurried on.
tellyou what, Phil," she said, as
they neared Mr. Rudolph's, on their
homeward way, " I'll let you get gut
here, and you can run on and ask yonr
mother inst to let you come home with
ine, you're not needed to day, and you
Then one of the Rudolphs, whose fa-
ther had been:" in the war," shouldered
her hoe, saying briskly, "Shoulder arms!
Foeward, Forward; march " and away
they marched: to the cornfield to the
tune of "John Brown's Body." There
was not a bone nor a highroad in sight;
they might ging and laugh to their
heart's content! The captain gave them
their orders, they fell into lineoeach at
the end of a row, and then began a race
for the other end- Nobody could have
told which flew fastest, tongues or hoes.
Mr. Henderson, sitting on the front
porch, froni which he had received a
twenty -four -fold order "not to stir,"
smiled to himself when the sound, as of
innumerable blackbirds, came to biro on
on the breeze. Then the chatter suddenly
stepped, and there was a chorus of clear
girl -voices in "Here we go round the
mulberry 'bosh ; " other songs, old and'
new, followed, with intervals of merry
talk between. Prue had " adapted " the
vision of that most genial gardener,
Charles Dudley Warner, and as each.
girl came te the end of her row, she
found Phil waitiog for her with a bright
tin dipper of lemonade. Twilight fell,
and the full moon rose grandly in -a
cloudless sky. The girls had settled
steadily, to their work, and it was plain
now that there would be a handsome
margin of time before the supper hour.
The sweetness of the evening subdued
the talk and laughter, and. when, after a
brief silence, Mary Rudolph softly began
the Evening,Hyran, every voice joined
hers. Hopes and plans and a,spirations
were talked over as the girls worked
side by side, and not a few good resolves
and strengthened purposes dated from
that helpful evening. They finished, in
a glow of enthneiasm, a little after
eleven. Prue had put her coffee and
chocolate on to boil as she saw them near-
ing the end, and, with so many willing
hands to help it, the supper was soon on
the table. Cold chicken and tongue and
ham, " dressed" tomatoes, potato salad,
piles of buttered biscuits, Prue's birth-
day cake, cut in slices and skillfully
spread, BO that last night's subtraction
should not spoil its roundness; sponge
cake and jumbles, canned peaches, and
a great dish of fresh blackberries which
Phil had gathered, made a goodly show.
There were various small, side-dishes—
egg sandwiches, pickled beets and cu•
cumbers, dried beef and cheese • and
Mr. Henderson, who had flatly rfused
to go to bed, and declared his intention
to carve the chiekens, smiled to himself
as he looked at the loaded table, with
mental prophecy that it would take at
least three days to eat the remains. He
-smiled again, at the fallaciousness of
his prophecy" as they rose from the ta-
ble. Hoe* es these young women had
hoed that evening would bave qualified ,
them for a supper far less tempting than
that which Prue had set befure them. ,
When Boll; came home the next after-
noon, Prttehurried him into the house,
as soon as be had emptied the wagon
and put up the horses, and kept him
there, uptin one pretext or another, un-
til after tea; he lingered, talking with
her about the poor little women at the
mill, until she had washed and put
away the tea -things; then, as they came
out arm -in -arm to the porch, Mr. Hen-
derson -said :
"Children, if you'll each give me an
arm, I wouM like to walk around a little
and take a look at thateornfield."
Bob's face grew gloomy at once, but
he silently offered his arm to his father,
and they walked slowly down the lane.
When they reached the bars Bob rubbed
his eyes. "Why, Prudence ! " he said,
sad stopped, looking bewildered. There
smiled the corn, not from a tangle of
weeds, but from the brown, freshly
turned earth—not a weed to be seen
"How in the world," began Bob, and
stopped again.
Mr. Henderson laughed as they had
not heard him langh for many a day.
"You owe your sister a hat, my boy,".
he said, "and if you'll de the square
thing you'll write to your Aunt Prudence
for the prettiest bonnet in Bostore when
that corn's sold. 'Man has his will, but.
woman has' her way,'"
-
' Bob turned to Prue for an explana-
tion, and Prue explained.
"1 take back -what I said the other
day about women's voting, my dear,"
said Bob, when she had finished ; "or
—no, I don't, either, come to think of
it; ou'd vote for each other every time,
and the poor inferior, man, would be
left out in the cold altogether. YOU
good little soul! "and he kissed her with
a fervor which wald have endetnge
a less genuine blush than the one w
covered her face at his loving praise.
Prue, true to her name, utterly ide-
olined "the prettiest bonnet in Bostoh,"
but Aunt Prudence executed a comtriis-
sion for Bob in her usual satisfaotory
manner juet before the ensuing Christ-
mas, and, no matter with which of her
numerous neckerchiefs Prue adorns her-
self, it is always fastened with a little
• golden ear of corn;
There have been many merry millings
since the practical one of which I have
told, but the jealous youthe in that
neighborhood declare that the girls al-
*nye follow up their approval of the
most successful "with, " Oh, but it
doesn't compaoy with Prue's Hoeing

One Dr. Alfred Chadwick says in
Knowledge that he does "not believe
for one moment that fully 90 pert cent.
of women are deformed by etays. - If
such were the case," he adds, "I should
not hesitate to say that," 90 per cent.
of women knew nothing °fleeing, for if
lacing the figure is practised in a
judicious mantier, instead of deformity
would come elegance and health. A

female sex. Tubercular consumption

pressure of eny corset, however tight;
in fact the tighter the corset in the
lower mut ot the chest, ithe greater
amount of work and expansien in the

consumption. , The doctor believes that
a woman is ipletter health in every

What I consider to be the perfeo-

he says, "Is to begin early in life, say
at the age of 7 or 10 years, and then

mitting the corset simple to touch the

What a consolation Dr. 'Chadwick's

Grapes for ProiLt. =
Inquiry is being made for those varie-
ties of grapes which will give the best
cash returne to the planter. The writer
has been aasome pains to make en-
quiries of fruit dealers con erning the
prices paid by consnmere, and the
varieties most in demand, and learns
from them that the early grapes are
always soldreadily at good prices. In
confirmation of this a gentleman men-
tioned that he had 22 vines of the
champion ; , that he took the fruit from
them to Toronto and realized for it
$40. Fruit deelers in St. Catharines
4re selling Delaware and such of the
Rogers variety as are to be had; at from
8 to 10 cents per pound retail; and
Concords at 5 cents. Jessica, an early
white variety, was sold itt $10 per
hundred, pounds to Toronto and Cobourg
fruiters. The white and red varieties
seem to be the most popular, command-
ing a ready sale at the best prices. The
red varieties of the Ro erg grapes,
known as Agawam aud Li dley, seem
to be the best of this color; while the
Widder and I Merrimac take the lead
among the black varieties. 'Piet° is not
