'It was a scaudal,' the neighbors said, 'that Miss Delia should be obliged to take boarders, after all Bhe'd been through ; and heaven knows boarders didn't help a body to work out her salvation. And so much money in the family, too, tak ing it by small and large. Wasn't ber Uncle Eben, over at Dover, well to do, and not a cbick of his own to care for, except the boy he had adopted, who was no credit to him? It was odd, now, that a man with poor relations should take to a stranger, when his own flesh aud blood was so needy, but sometimes it did seem as if folks had more feel ing for others than for their own kith aud kin. Then there were cousins in the city, forehanded and fashionable, who never were worth a row of pins to Delia; and there was her great-uncle John's widow a-larking on the continent, a-gamb-ling at Baden-Baden, and trying the waters of every mineral spring in the three kingdoms for no disease under the sun but old age. She'd been known to say that ber own folks were too rich already, and probably she would endow some- hospital with her property. Plainly, wealthy relatives were of no value to Miss Delia. To be sure, she had never seen her great-aunt since she was a child, when her Uncle John had brought her into their simple life for a month's visit), with her French maid and dresses, her jewels and fallals, which won the heart of her little namesake. Since then her Uncle John's widow had been a sort of gilded creation, always young and always beautiful ; for, though Delia had received little gifts from time to time across the seas for the last fifteen years, she had neither seen nor heard anything of the being who had inspired her youthful imagination, aud waB quite Hncertaiu if such a person as Mrs. John Rogerson was in the land of the living. Dead or alive, she seem ed to have made no material differ ence in Delia's humdrum life. After having nursed her father through a long illness, Delia found that he had left a heavy mortgage on the homestead, and her mother and her self on the high road to the poor house, unless they should bestir themselves. As her mother was already bed-ridden, the stirring nat urally fell upon Delia, and she ad vertised for summer boarders. 'Good board in the country by the river side, at $7 a week. Large chambers, broad piazzas, tine views, berries and new milk. One mile from the station. Address Delia Rogerson, Craftsborough, Me.' 'Cheap enough!' commented an elderly lady who happened upon it. 'Delia Rogerson. An old maid, I suppose, obliged to look out for her self. I have a good mind to try her broad piazzas and new milk. If I don't like it there'll be no harm done.' And so Delia's first boarder arriv edan old lady with a false front of hair, brown, wrinklod skiu, faded eyes, a black alpaca gown and a hair r7'.Fnl-n '"ia.3dj .becas.w.?'rQjne 11UUK. xu4i ut. . b.Lo'OHH as if she had been a duchess , lighted a wood fire in Mrs. Clement's room, as the night was damp, and brought out her daintiest cup and saucer, with the fadeless old roses wreath ing them. Wonderfully kind,' reflected Mrs. Clement, as she combed out her wisp of gray hair and consigned the false front to a box. '"Wonderful kindness for $7 a week ! She's new to the trade. She'll learn better. Human nature doesn't change with latitudes. She'll find it doesn't pay to consider the comfort of a poverty stricken old creature.' But in spite of her worldly wis dom Mr9. Clement wae forced to confess that Delia had begun as she meant to hold out, though other boarders came to demand her atten tion, to multiply her cares. The fret and jar of conflicting tempera ments under her roof was a new ex perience to Delia. When Miss Gresome complained of the mosqui toes, with an air as if Miss Rogerson were responsible for their creation ; of the flies, as if they were new acquaintances; of want of appetite, as though Delia had agreed to sup ply it along with berries and new milk ; of the weather, as if she had pledged herself there should be no sudden changes to annoy her board ers; of the shabby house and anti quated furniture, 'too old for comfort and not old enough for fashion' then Delia doubted if taking board ers was her mission. 'What makes you keep us, my dear?' asked Mrs. Clement, after a day when everything and everybody had seemed to go wrong. 'Why didn't you ever marry ? You had a lover, I dare say ?' Yes ; a long, long time ago.' Tell me about him it.' There isn't much to tell. He ask ed me to marry him. He was eoing to Australia. I couldu't leave mother and father, you know (they were both feeble), and he couldn't stay here. That was all.' 'And you you ' 'Now all men besides are to me like shadows.' And havff you never heard of him since?' 'Yes, he wrote ; but where was the UBe? It could never come to any thing. It was better for him to forget me and marry. I was a mill stone about his neck. I didn't an swer his last letter.' 'But, supposing he should return some day, would you marry him ?' 'I dare say,' laughed Delia, gently, as if the idoa was familiar; 'let the neighbors laugh over so wisely. I've thought of it sometimes, sitting alone when the world was barren aud commonplace. One must have rec reation of some kind, you know. Everybody requires a little romance, a little poetry, to flavor every-day thinking and doing. I'm afraid you'll think me a silly old maid, Mrs. Clement.' 'No. The heart never grows old. ?The skiu shrivels, the color departs, the eye fades, the features grow pinched; but the soul is heir of eternal youth is as beautiful at four score as at 'sweet and twenty.' Time makes amends for the ravages of the body, by developing tho spirit. You didn't tell me your lover's name. 1 Perhaps you'd rather not.' K 'His name- was Stephen Laugdon. Sometimes Capt. Seymour runs againBt him in Melbourne and brings mo word how he looks and what he is doing, though I never, never ask, and Stephen never asks for me, that I can hear of.' Delia's summer boarders were not a success, to be sure. If they took no money out of her pocket, they put none in. She was obliged to oko out her support with copying for Lawyer Dunmore and embroid ering for Mrs. Judge Dorr. Ono by one her boarders dropped away, like the autumn leaves, all but old Mrs. Clement. 'I believe I'll stay on,' she said. 'I'm getting too old to move often. Perhaps you take winter boarders at reduced rates. Eh?' 'Do yon think my terms high ?' 'By no means. But when one's purse is low ' 'Yes, I know. Do stay at your own price. I can't spare you.' She had grown such a fondness for tho old lady, that to refuse her own terms would have seemed like turning her own mother out of doors; besides one month more would not signify. But she found it hurd to make both ends meet, and often went hungry to bed that her mother and Mrs. Clement might enjoy enough, without their appear ing to be 'just a pattern.' At Christ mas, however, came a ray of sun shine for Delia, in the shape of a $100-bill from an unknown friend. 'It can't be meant for me,' she cried. 'It's directed to Delia Rogerson,' said her mother, 'and there's nobody else of that name, now that your ley. licm ...., i aunt Delia is deau. , t 'We are not sure that she is dead,' objected Delia. 'Horrors 1 Don't you know wheth er your own aunt is dead or alive I' asked Mrs. Clement, in a shocked tone. It isn't our fault. She is rich and lives abroad. I was named for her. I used to look in the glass and try to believe I'd inherited her beauty with the name, though she was only our great-uncle's wife.' 'She ought to be doing something for you.' 'How can she, if she's dead? I don't blame her, any wa Her money is her own, to use according to her pleasure. Uncle Johu made it himself, aud gave it to her.' 'But if she should come back to you, having run through with it, you'd divide your last crust with her, I'll be bound.' The winter wore away, as winters will, and the miracles of spring began in fields and wayside; and Delia's boarders returned with the June roses, and dropped away again with the falling leaves, and still Mrs. Clement staid on and on. Just now she had been for some weeks in arrears with her reduced board. No money had been forthcoming for some time, and she was growing more feeble daily, needing the luxu ries of an invalid and the attentions of a nurse, both of which Delia bes towed upon her without taking heed for the morrow. 'I must bear from my man of bus iness, to-morrow, Delia. I'm knee deep in debt to you,' she began one night. 'Don't mention it!' cried Delia. 'I'd rather never see a cent of it than have you take it to heart. 'You're welcome to stay and share pot luck with us, you're such com pany for mother and me.' 'Thank you, my dear. I've grown as fond of you as if you were my own flesh and blood. There, turn down the light, please. Draw the curtain, dear, and put another stick on the tire, please. It grows chilly, doesn't it? You miht kiss me, just onco, if you wouldn't mind. It's a hundred years or so since any one kissed mo.' Aud the next morning when Delia carried up Mrs. Clement's breakfast, her boarder lay cold and still upon tho pillows. Tho first shock over, Delia wrote directly to tho lawyer of whom she had heard Mrs. Clements speak as having charge of her affairs, begging him to notify that lady's relatives, if she had any. In reply, Mr. Willis wroto : 'The late Mrs. Clement appears to have no near relatives. Some dis tant cousins, who, having an abund ance of this world's goods, yet serv ed her shabbily when she tested their generosity, as she tried yours, are all that remain of her family. In the meantime, I enclose you a copy of her last will and testament, to peruse at your leisure.' 'What interest does he think I take in Mrs. Clement's will,' thought Delia, but read nevertheless : 'Being of sound mind this 16th day of June, 18, I, Dolia Rogerson Clement, do hereby leave $100 to each of my cousins; and I bequeath the residue of my property, viz: $30,000 invested in tho Ingot Mining Company, .$50,000 in United States Bonds, $20,000 in the Fortune Flan nel Mills, and my jewels to the beloved niece of my first husband, John Rogerson, Delia Rogerson, of Croftsborough, Maine. 'For I was a stranger, and ye took me in ; hun gry, and ye Ted me ; sick, and ye ministered unto me." 'Goodness alive!' cried the neigh bors, when the factB reached their ears. 'What a profitable thing it is to take boarders! Everybody in town will be trying it. Of course, Steve Langdon will como home and marry her, if she were forty old maids. You may stick a pin in there !' Delia did not open her house to boarders the next season. She found enough to do in looking after her money and spending it; in replying to letters from indigent people, who seemed to increase alarmingly; in receiving old friends, who suddenly found time to remember her exist ence And sure enough, among the rest appeared Steve Langdon, and all the village sttid: 'I told you so!' 'It's not my fault that you and I are single yet, Delia,' he said. And we are too old to think of a change now, Steve.' Nonsense ! It's never too late to mend. I'm not rich, Delia ; but I've enough for two, and to spare.' 'I would'nt be contented not to drive in my carriage and have ser vants under me now, laughed Delia. 'Indeed I Then perhaps you have a better match in view ? Capt. Sey mour asked me, by the way, if I had come to interfere with 'Squire Jones'a interest.' 'Yes. Squire Jones proposed to ' "orrai Oi. .. . me last weeK.,,v "e-nai. - I u-.r 'Now, see here, Delia. Have como all tho way from Melbourne on a fool's errand? There I was growing used to my misery and loneliness, when the mail brings me in a letter in a strauge hand, which tells me that my dear love, Delia Rogerson, loves and dreams of mo still, is poor and alone and needs me me! And the letter is signed by her aunt, Mrs. Clement, who ought to know. I packed my house hold goods and came' 'I'm glad you did.' 'In order that I may congratulate 'Squire Jones?' 'But I haven't accepted him. In fact I've refused him because ' Because you will marry your old love, like the lass in the song, Delia?' In Croftsborough, people are not tired of telling how a woman made money by taking boarders. A conceited young man, in talk ing with an aged clergyman, said, with a most dogmatic air: I will never believe anything which I can not understand." The old clergyman mildly responded, "Then, young man, it is probable that your creed will be a very short one." Facetious Parson (to parishioner, who is not believed to be a rigid ab stainer, and who has fallen on the ice) "Ah, Mr. Brown ! Fools stand in slippery places, I've heard." Mr. Brown (the footpath was in a fright ful state) "So I see, sir; but I'm blest if lean!" A little girl in one of our public schools the other day had occasion to parse tho word "angel." Coming to the gender she stopped dismayed, and asked her teacher if "there are any men angels." Garfield Near florae. Claridon-, O., June 10, 'SO. Dear Journal: It is not best for a prophet to be too modest. I predicted in your columns last No vember, that the people of the State would soon take James A. Garfield away from us his constituents of the nineteenth district, and that after awhile the people of the country would be very apt to take him away from the State. But I would not allow that the latter act of violence and mainprise was to tako place so early as 1880. Of course nomina tion is not election, but as I am writing, the booming cannon from our county seat of Chardon, which lies full in sight, "a city set on a hill," active miles distance, advises me that I, might as well have been a little less confident in deferring the term of his highest service. Chardon just at this moment is doing her best to assure our illustrious Representa tive, that if wo must part with him, we are determined, on second tho't, that it shall bo for nothing less than the Whito Houso. It does bcoui a pity to deprive him of six years in the Senate, but it looks a good deal as if tho thing was going to bo done. The General was, I understand, this afternoon at Buston, our next town in one direction, aud is, as the guus inform mo, dividing with the raingusts the honors of the evening at Chardon. The moon comes out and goes in as if she had not fully made up her miud about the nomi nation. But that docs not matter, as we expect to seo her over the right shoulder some time in No vember. Of course I am not going to say anything to disparage the present harmony of the party ; but, between you and me, don't you think three neted Senators have very unexpect edly been brought up all standing on learning that New York begins with an N and not with a C, and Pennsylvania with a P and not with a C, and Illinois with an I aud not with an L, nor even with a G ? The Chicago spelling school has afforded some sudden, and to the people at large, very agreeable light on ques tions of political orthography. vs. vs. O. P. S. Thejightning has got such a way of striking in Ohio, that the editor of the Journal must be tempted to bewail the hour he left those depths of mud which he was ridiculing last winter, while we were floundering in them. And, in very truth, if every mother's eon of us were to be advanced to the White House in turn, it would be little more than a just and equitable in demnity for the sufferings we have to undergo from November till April.

Have your littlo wash-clotha and your sponges for bits of cleaning; your furniture-brush and your feather-duster, aud your light littlo broom, and your whisk and pan ; your bottlo of sweet-oil and spirits of turpentine, aud piece of flannel, to preserve tho polish, or restore tho gloss whero dark wood grows dim or gets spotted. Find out, by fol lowing your surely growing sense of thoroughness and niceness, the best and readiest ways of keeping all fresh about you. Invont your owu processes; they will come to you. When you havo made your self wholly mistress of what you can learn and do in your own apartment so that it is easier and more natural for you to do it than to let it aloue so that you don't couut the time it takes any more than that which you have to givo to your own bathing and hair-dressing then you have learned enough to keep a whole house, so far as its cleanly ordering is concerned. Floral Cabinet. TreeN nail Health. Everbody knows that trees take the carbonic acid thrown out in the breath of men and animals, sepa rate it into component parts carbon and oxygen give back the latter to be used over again, and work the former into wood and fruit. It is also coming to be generally understood that forest trcos do gen eral and important service in help ing to retain tho surface water for springs, streams and general use. It is also known that certain spe cies, planted iu malarial localities, help to reuder the latter healthy by somehow using up the deadly mi asma. It would now appear that trees growing near drains carry oil the sewerage water. A gentleman whoso ccss-draiu was constructed iust like his neigh bor's, aud in the saino kind of soil, has found it unueucsary to clean it out, while others hud to be cleaned out frequently. An examination showed that three large trees whose roots had pene trated into the vicinity of his second or waste cess-pool, were clearly the channels through which the waste all escaped. Whether it was changed into plant food, as is likely, or was ex baled through the leaves, in either case it was disposed of with equal safety. Exchange. Cleaning Hlnck Mill. One of tho things "not generally known," at least in this couutry, is the Parisian method of cleaning black silk; the modus operandi very simple, and the result infinitely superior to that achieved iu any other manner. The silk must be thoroughly brushed and wiped with a cloth, then laid flat on a board or tabic and well sponged with hot coffee, thoroughly freed from riedi- ment by being strained through muslin. Tho silk is sponged on the side intended to show, it is allowed to become partially dry, and then ironed on the wrong side. The coffee removes every particle of grease, and restores the brilliancy of silk, without imparting to it either the shiny appearance or tho crackly and papery stiffness obtained by beer, or, indeed, any other liquid.

TrexpaNi on Uncultivated LubiIn. Yesterday, iu the District Court, His Honor, Judge Pound, ruled on the demurrer made by Mr. Foxwor thy to the petition in Miller vs. Hawley and others, noticed in the Journal some daya ago. His Honor said that in Nebraska there could be trespass on uncultivated lands. In Ohio the courts rule' differently, but then the common law has never been adopted in Ohio, whereas the common law is a part of the law in Nebraeka. On that ground, there fore, the demurrer would be over ruled but the other ground of de murrerthat there had been a mis joinder of parties though there was an allegation in the petition which at this stage might ba suffi cient, yet he has inclined to think there, perhaps, had better be sep arate actions, or dismissal as regards some. Mr Blodgett (for defendant) said that he had thought of dismiss ing except as to one defendant, but he would take leave to amend tho petition. Lincoln. Journal. - "See here," said an eccentric old man to an office boy who had brought a doctor's bill to him. "See here, tell your master that I'll pay him for the items of medicine charg ed in his bill, but as for the visits, why I'll return them."
