Jennie tcr:" - V Bat, mother, I don't see " "01 course yon don't sec, dear, but when your father has decided, lie ha sledded, you know. Don't think any more about jt. Come, I can't spare you but fifteen minutes more You must help mefon Johnny's jacket just the button-holes, my eyes are so poor." Why don't you get Miss Stitchson to make the oritton-holes?" Donltask me. "What did your father say yesterday noon, and again jast at supper-timer' If you will make them I can get the jacket finished to-night. He needs it enough." "Now, mother May berry, it's to bad! Tomsuikissbabby.'but 1 don't believe he caresT -One-day more won't mako much difference, any way; and I will "help on tho button-holes tomorrow afternoon, if Trudy don't come for me to practice that duet with her." "No. no, dear. Never put off till to morrow what can bo done to-day' Grandma's motto, yon know, I wish you woald bear it in mind more than you do. There now you mustn't say another word keep your thoughts on your lesson. I shan't' speak tor fifteen min utes." At this Jennie resumed studying, for she 'was as desirous as her mother was for her to be correct in recitations. Sne had been dreading this last review in history, which was to determine her rank in scholarship. And "her father was anxious that she should stand high at graduation-nly three weeks hence. He bad even taken pains to go over with her 'all tho battles of the Rebellion and tho events of the Franco-German war. dates were such a trouble to her ; and taught her an old method of his own for memorizing such things accuratley. She went on patiently with the words of the book. But I am sorry to say her thoughts wandered to Prudence Winn's now dress, and to a small package in her pocket which she had not yet had the courage opportunity, she would have said to show her mother; yet which she must sco this very evening if her long-cherished hopes were to be fulfilled. A pencil was needed to mark the battle of the "Wilderness for her memo rizing method, and in taking it from her pocket out came the package also. Her pink cheeks took on a deeper hue as she hastily snatched at it beforo it fell to tho floor, and there was a confused droop of her quivering . eyelid be fore her mother's questioning glance. Not a word was said, butJlrs. May berry extended her hand, and Jennie dared not ignore the unspoken request. "What does this mean, daughter? Jordan and Marsh's shop bill blade silksamples'" said Mrs Mayberry, siowiy, as sne unioiueu the little pack father. " Your mother's dresses arc always erTkeble,ad they are -sot ilk. And then look as the cost of it. Whew! Ten Jflcen dollars, I sup pose." "More than double that," returned Mrs. Mayberry. . "That settles the question. No, it will "not be serviceable for my daughter not at that price.'! " Rat if I get tho school atStapkton?" asked Jennie. "Ah! If! Time enough to talk about silk dresses when you've money that you don't know what to do with. If you do teach you shan't begin for over a year." " More than ball the girls in our class will have silks for graduation, Prudy says, and" "JCsupposo she will; she looks like that kind of a girl. And, as usual, her father is going to borrow my mowing machine next surdmcr, and the new Slow that I must buy in April. No, no, aughter no black silk for you yet. However let me see. L have it nowl One of my happy thoughts just in the nick of time, I declare!" He drew out his pocket-book, and from its folds took several bank-bills. "Mr. Simonds paid for his hay this afternoon. I'm right glad to get the money just now was intending it for a certain purpose, a plan your mother and I made a while ago. But I've changed raymind within an hour, and, Jennie', ifyou'll wear the same dress you have on now this neat gray flannel with tho pretty pink neck-tie at the graduatkwyou shall have every cent he paid me to'spend as you choose." Jennie looked, troubled. . . "I'll bejthere" "toVsee," hB&adacd: " Moreover and likewise," he continued, merrily, "Tommy and-1 will 'get as many spruco trees and as much ever green to trbmnhesch&ol-roxHrins yosi will accent: Aid wthcr'U lend' all her plants, every? lower-pot, I've no doubt." , " Certainly, with pleasure," respond ed Mrs. Mayberry. "The graduation, or commencement, rather for then you will really begin your life as a woman," said Mr. May berry, "ought to be a joyful occasion. And yet a serious and thoughtful one, as you then lay aside childish things and take tho first step toward the sober realities of life. And I want you to know, Jennie, that that first step will have much to do in determining your fu ture course. Don't begin with show and extravagance then, even if j'ou that is, can afford it; it would not bo right or becoming." "Mike Brady hasn't any overcoat, father, because "Mary's got to have a new gown to graduate in," said Tommy. " And Mrs. Drayton told mo a fort nightago that Hannah had left the High School on account of the expense of graduation," said his mother. " Well I suppose there arc others 'in Que ef Setfcern's Practical 4 ekes. Oxr of theinost -CTtraordiawj bits ef "pleasantry" he ever conceived had a most nataral origin. Mr. A. M. Palmer, of tha Union Square Theater, Mr. Sothern sad Mr. Lee, the husband of Adelaide Xeilson, were lunching in Brown's restaurant, when Mr. Lcc, is cidcntally commenting on the Americas habit of carrying a pistol, aired hie knowledge of what an English swell would do if a ruflian assaulted him raise his hand quietly and knock him down. Florence chanced to enter the room, and presently Dan Bryant and Nelse Seymour braced each other at the bar. Sothern whispered to Flor ence, and almost immediately what seemed a fearful row began. In vain Palmer sought to pacify Florence. In vain Leo endeavored to persuade Soth ern to quiet. Everybody in the place became involved. Seymour laid hold of Brown's carving-knife and threat ened murder. All hands died, shout ed and screamed. The place was Red lain, and poor Lcc. as white as his shirt, sought the protection of the bar. Pres ently peace was restored. The com batants shook hands. Wine was or dered and Sothern invited one and all to dine with him on the following Sun day. They did. Mr. Sothern presided. the sitting age.

Send forsamples.'i "Without consulting their parents? I hope not, Jennie. How could you?" There wa no answer, 'and the ques tion was repeated. - Rut before she had time to reply Mr. May berry and Tommy who had been busy over an hour in the barn looking after tho comfort of the little heifer -and Nan, her mother, and seeing that Jinks, the old roan, and Daisy, the pony, were all right, and everything about the premises snug and urueny uame nurrymg m. Mr. Mayberry, quick to Tead faces, saw that something unpleasant was under consideration. Presuming it was the same subject graduation and its ex penses which had been talked over at tea-time, he said: "I've been think ing it all over, Jennie. I can't bear to have you feel unhappy and dissatisfied, and instead of giving money for hiring musio that day .and evening I'll let the class have the use of our piano you and PrndieWinn can plav well enough for anyDodywnoui be there. How do you like that? PH- take it to the school house, and back, too." Jennie did not answer.- She had re covered from her confusion, and only a sickly smile showedthat she had un derstood his suggestion. "A good idea don't you think-so, mother?" he added, with a little olur rupylaugh, which Mrs. Mayberry an swered with another but hers was forced and hollow. Tommy saw the samples of silk, still in his mother's hand. " Something" for my new jacket-trimmings, is it?" he asked. Oh, no. Jennie you might as well telRyour father all about it," was the response, in low sad tones. Jennie began to cry. " " "Hi! hi!T' said her father, cheerily. " This won't do for a seventeen-year-old young lady. What's up? I don't 6ee anything to cry about. You're get ting nervous, sis. Too much study.Tm afraid. I shall be glad when you get through this terrible last term. But you're coming out well that's not the trouble, i hope? Let's run over the battles again, so as to be sure of them." And he took up the book which sho had pusnea aside. Mrs. Mayberry laid the. strips of silk upon the .book. "What do you think of those?" she said, gently. "Those?" he asked. "Why, what are they? How came you by them?" " Is it best for Jennie to have a grad-uatioa-snit like either of them?" "Our Jennie? Gbod grandmother of Methusalah! Our little Jennie rigged out like a fifty-year-old? You're joking, Jennie had ceased crying and now looked up anxiously. ? " Never wasl more in earnest, John." " Well, I don't pretend' totknow about these things.

" Serviceable how?" queried the same box,' as Uncle Russell ex presses it. He said to me the other day that ho shouldn't be able to take up his noto as soon as he expected, next month, hi two boys' school expenses arc so great this last term." "All the girls are telling what they shall wear, and I thought I ex pected " began Jennie, in a trembling voice Her father interrupted her, placing the bank-bills in her hand. " Thinlcof it over night, dear. You have had good teachers, and you are fond of them, I know, and are attached to your mates, nave had many happy hours in the old school-room ; will wish to look back on tho last (jays spent there with pleasant memories. Spend the money it is yours now In a way that will give ou the most delightful recol lection." "Now, please, let us drop the sub ject," said lier mother, laying the sam ples on her work-stand, and taking up Tommy's jacket. "Am I to have your help on the button-holes, dear?" she added, quietly. Jennie gave her a bright smile, gath ered up the bits of silk, went directly to the stovo and threw them in the fire. "Button-holes, buttons any thing you say," washer answer, as she seated her self on a stool at her mother's side, that both might sew at the same time. , " How about your battles? Dates al- ngut:'" asKea nor lather. "Iet me hear them." She recited them slowly and correctly, ending with a gay laugh", and " I was determined to have them right." "And you have succeeded. Add an other a Victory for General Good- sense, at Mayberry Point. What's the date?" " Never mind. Graduation Day, we'll call it, perhaps," and having clasped her purse with a vigorous snap, there was a tinkle of its steel rings us she slipped it into her pocket; and then her skillful fingers ran rapidly through the f mazes 01 uuuon-noie stitch. so- lorn my's jacket was completed, and'he was glad enough to have it ready to wear the next day. Graduation Day was remarkably fair for March. The school-room was crowd ed with the parents and friends of tho pupils. Everybody admired the decor ations of evergreens and flowering plants, which Mr. Mayberry not only provided, but assisted in arranging. Not ono of tho pupils passed more creditably through the exercises than Jennie Mayberry, and certainly not one looked prettier "than she in her modest gray dres?, with a pink bow at her throat. More than one among the gen tleman visitors inquired who that hand some girl in gray was "And such easy, charming manners," added some. "And such a fine scholar," said others. The music "only Jennie Mayberry's fjiano, and singing by the pupils" was iked .so well that a persistent encore of the last sons brought, its repetition:: during which Mr. Mayberry, bearing a large package, passed slowly up one of the crowded aisles Jo the teachers', plat form. When the singing. ceased, all eyes turned in expectation toward him as he carefully unfolded a large picture irom its wrappings. guest of the evening. Mr. Lee, at the right, 2Sel.se Sey mour at the loot of the table, and Dan Bryant at the left. The guests were all in evening dreis. The dinner was a sumptuous one and well served; the wines wcro of rich and rare vintages. Hardly a smile rippled over the face of any ono pres ent, although indeed" some remark-was niauYwhcn Mr. Gaylortook from under his coat a paper battlc-ax the broad blade being covered with tinfoil such as is Bseri ttr kiU, tyrants on th;ataee.' While tSesoiip was being served .Ma Neil; Bryant drcw from beneath the back collar of his coat a dirk, knife, the bladeqf which was .ovqr a foot long, which ho solemnly ucclasned and placed beside his plate. Mr. Chris Connor took a six-shooter from his coat-tail pocket and laid it down care lessly on the table. Mr. Lee looked around in a bewildered way. Nelse Seymour drexv a scythe from under the table and then a policeman's club, anil laid them in the middle of the board. At this Mr. Lee began to move very un easily, and whispered to his friend, Mr. Sothern: 'Old fellow, what does thi mean?' ' Keep quiet," replied Sothern, "it as 1 have feared. These gentlemen have been drinking, and they have quarreled about a friend of theirs, a Mr. Woymyss Jobson, quite an eminent scholar and a very estimable gentle man; but I hope, for our sakes, that they will not attempt to settle their quarrel here. It is dreadful, but I hope, dear 003 that they will go away quietly and have no row. Jt is a fash ion the' have here to settle their dis putes at a table or whatever they meet. All we cau do now is to await events." " But there will bo murder here. Can we not notify the police of their inten tions?" "Impossible, ray dear fellow," an swered Sothern, in a distressing wins- Eer. "Were you even to be suspected y these men of attempting to leave the room, 3011 would be shot like a dog and no sat-sfactiou would ever be given vonr relatives in a court of justice." By this time Mr. Lee was thoroughly aroused, and in no mood for tasting even tho first course. "What an in ternal country!' ho said in a whispor. For a few moments the regular banquet business went on, when suddenly a row arose at tho lowor end of the table, and Mr. Neil Bryant, springing to his feet, iicrccby exclaimed: "Whoever says that the ' History of tho French Revo lution,' written by my friend David Weymyss Jobson, is not as good a book in every respect as that written by Tom Carlyle on the same subject, is a liar, a thief, and if there is an fool present who desires to take "it up I am his man!" All tho guests ro30 suddenly - and . every one grasp ed his weapon. Chris Connor roared, as he seized his pistol, You are an other, Bryant, and by ray halidomo I will provo it on your treacherous body." Then shots were tired and the room was filled with smoke and uproar. Several of the guests clinched and struggled, and Nelso Seymour, while struggling across the table thrust his foot into the eight quart soup tureen, made a wild plunge, but was knocked down, and then foimd it impossible to release his foot from tho vessel. Mr. Lee ran to tho door, but tho conspirators had locked it. Billy Florence thrust a long knife into Lee's hands and cried out, " Defend yourself!

It is statut and onlaint be oure soverane lord wt aviso of his thrie es taitls in parliament That all actionis of debtis dor hous maiiis ineuis ordinaris scrvandis fcis m'chantU comptis and uther the like debtis that aruot foundat upoun writtin obligations be pereuit w'hin thrie vcirs utnerwvs tho creditor salbave na actioun Kxcept his outhis preif bo write or be aith of his pairtv." This is a very fair sample of the En glish that was talked and written by our ancestors in the sixteenth century, and the liberal admixture of Scotch phrase ology makes it hardly more obscure than was the tongue that was spoken and written at the same time south of the Tweed. The State Librarian furnishes the following as a translation into mod ern English, although the translation leaves bomething still to be desired iu the way of plainness: "It Is statute and ordained by our sovereign lord, with advice of his "three estates in parliament, that all actions of debt for house maells, men s ordinaries, servants' fce3, merchants' accounts, and others the like debts that are not found ed upon written obligations, m pursued within three years, otherwise thu credit or shall have no action, except he either prove by tho writ or by oath of the party." That such a relic of ancient Scotch law as this should even be supposed to have any effect upon an action brought in the State of New York in the vear 1877, is one of the marvels of the law. For. when this act was passed by the ancient Scottish "Parliament, :50i) years ago. Queen Lliznbeth was on the throne of England; James I. of England, her successor, who is the "Jacobi VI." of Scotland named in tho act, was a boy of thirteen j-ears; tho two Charleses and the other James of the house of Stuart, as well as Oliver Cromwell, wcro yet unborn, ami Plymouth Kock was un known, for tho day of the Pilgrim Fath ers was forty years later. we shall sec hereafter a certain jer cent., are bound to succeed well enough to pay any reasonable loan mado to ail. Some might be inclined to smile at such an investment as dangerous, but the plan has worked brilliantly in Germany, it is doubtful if, in America, any one kind of business can show so small a proportionate number of failures as the co-operative Gerinnu unions. Vet these unions have provided the "poor and prOpertjless with credit. Their good name has grown and more money has often been offered them at low rates of interest-tthoy pay on an average about four and a half per cent, per annum than they could use. In places where the)' have been established tho tmions have made all those worthy of credit able to obtain it. Instead of charging interest varving from fifty to seven hundred tier cent, they have lent per to the they " little" man at rates meeting these demons at a dinner given to ray friend!" The hotel in the mean- time had been alarmed, and the rucsts and waiters outside were making fran tic endeavors to break open the doors, fearing' that murder would be done. N. Y. Herald. m He Rode (fet His Dollar. money varying from six to ten per cent as for example in rare cases, to defray thu expense of starting a new bank, the rate has been eleven per cent. One chief element in the organisation of credit-unions is, therefore, the full Ha bilit' of all members. Thu second is a aving and formation of capital by the members. They must become share holders. No one can become a member of a credit-union without purchasing shares in the business. A majority of those, however, for whom J ho associa tions are designed are unable to pur chase their shares at once; accordingly, the) are sold on art payments, each of which is .so small that tho ordinary laborer can spare the sum. Thus in a few years it happens that a large part of the stock of the banks belongs to tho members. The calculation is that each member shall bin- shares to the amount of fifty to one hundred thalcrs. As Ger many is a poor country and wages low, the corresponding minimum for tho United States ought to be, at least, ono hundred dollars. This may bo consid ered insignificant, but it is not to be forgotten that a main point to encour age in saving is to create a taste for it A lanre part of those who ioin the unions never before had so much capital in their possession; iu fact, never be fore had an)' capital which was yielding a revenue and accumulating. In cultivating a habit of providing for the future the importance of the first step cannot be overestimated. The self-respect and importance of the la borers are raised as soon as they become, even in a small way, capitalists. The feeling that they are members of a large and powerful institution has been found to help wonderfully. This may be called sentiment, but as it is, liko man other sentiments, a reality and a power for good, that, is no objection. Very many can be led to save only by such powerful motives as the associa tions offer, inasmuch as the shares are made a source of gain and credit can be obtained by the most only by becom ing members. It is touching to read of tho race in saving which sometimes takes place between the members of the credit-unions after they have be come fairby started, particularly after the first dividends have been declared. The poor strive to keep up with those better circumstanced by the mostrigor ous economy, by cutting off every un necessary expense. The unions 'thus become savings-banks and render the pawnshops unnecessary for its mem bers. Atlantic Monthly. rntso.vu, y nixmKt.

The Japanese, consequently, are excellent agricultur ists; but, though the grow several ce reals and a number of vegetables, the staple crop is rice, .Japanese rice is the finest and the natives know how to cook it They servo it up with pickles and tea, and in the conntrydisfricts it is the only meat tho travelercan depend upon getting. Although they grow wheat, arley, rye and buckwheat the Japanese do not know how to make bread, and in many places they use the wheat in stead of tea in making a kind of drink, which'raay bo described as tho ractheg lin of the country. Thanks, however, to the land laws, the soil is everywhere in settled districts thoroughly cultivat ed; for, beside vegetables of all sorts, fruits, such as peaches, plums, oranges and lies, are extensivelv crown, and of late years an enormous number of acres have been devoted to the growth of lilies and other plants, which are exported in large quantities to Knrcpe. a m A Love Match.
