Aunt Clackett lived all alone in a little gable-emlcd cottage, with Turkey-red curtains to fill the windows, a velvety mass of fine geraniums i:i the casements, and odd little three-cornered cupboards, with prlass fronts, Mhose shelves were i acked with old chinn, curious specimens of jipanned ware and piece? of brocade and -rutin which belonged to a century gone by. AuntCJackeft was one ot'thcae odd, oriq-inal old l;ulica who. having con trived to wreck her matrimonial bark early in life, was continually steeiiii-; oiTin all sorts of unexpected direc tions. She hjid espoused the crusc ot woman's independence witli great ve hemence, joined a debntinf' club, aud quarrelled with tlie Vice President at the second meet ii.tj. "A Hz for woman' riht'!" said ilias Clackett, "They've moie rights than they know what to do with al ready." Then fhe devoted herself to philan thrope, turned her house into a min iature orphan aylum,aud went prowl- 1 a.e 1 1 nig Aootii tne lanes ana gutters in search of proteges. But after she had been robbed twice she abandoned the vvhole thin-; and went for the natural sciences. Nature can't disappoint one," said 31 !! Clackett. But Nature did. The little fishes m her aquarium died, the stuffed animal fell to pieces, aud the rare specimens of phtnta in her herbarium turned out to te poison ivy, and had nearly been tbo death of her. So then Miaj Clackett took to liter ature. "Shakspeare is eternally divine," eaid Miss Clackett "And the crea tions of one's brain are perpetually new." , So that now Rhe went about with inky liti"ers,a portfolio nnder her arm and a rhyming dictionary always in reach, while her niece Dorothea did the housework. Or at lenf-t tha girl whom ehc called lier niece, for Dorothea Dtxld was no actual relative to the eccentric little oid Isdy in the snulF-colored front and twinkling gold -spectacles. She was the last lingering relic of the philan thropic pcheme, a dark-skinned, sol emn-eyed little orphan, whom Miss Clackett had fished up out of a rag- and-bottle cellar somewhere, and had lad m the outhoue, and refused to go when the other orphans were ban ished, en maswe, to the care of thepub- lic charities and corrections. "Please, ma'am, can't I stay?" eaid Dorothea. "I won't be no trouble,and I'm a good un to work." "Bless my soul!" said Miss Ciack ett. "Where have you been all this while?" "Plcate, ma'am, in the slied," an swered Dorothea, promptly. "Well, then, I suppose you'll have to stay," said Miss Clackett. And so Dorothea stayed. "Dorothea," Baid Miss Clackett on this particular afternoon, "is every thing ready?" And the Dorothea who responded to the summons whs as unlike tlie weird-looking little creature who had hid ss was the crimson cinnamon rose at the window from the leafless stem which had tapped against the ease ment at the touch of the rude Febru ary blast. For Dorothea, like the rose, had blossomed out a fair, slight maiden, with a faint glow on her olive cheeks, very black hair, growing low on a sweet forehead, and the soft est and most appealing of eyes, which were neither black nor brown, but melted into the deepest wiuc-ligUts at every emotion of the heart. "Everything is readv, Aunt Clack ett," said Dorothea." "Cold boiled tongue, lobster salad, buttermilk bis cuit, preserved plums and currant jel ly." - 'Yes. verv nice, very nice!" said Miss Clackettt, absently. "What do you think, Dorothea? Would you call the heroine of mv new storr 'DuLalia' or Luoetta?'" "I don't know -Lneetta, I think," said Dorothea, assuming the air of a critic. "It is to be published ia the Sun," said Miss Clackett, triumphantly. "I am to pay all expenses, and res-erve tlie right of dramatization!"- "But I thought," said Dorothea, "that people made money out of such things. But you are 'spending' mon ey, Aunt.-' "Money!" repeated the old ladr, loftily. "But -flto -yants bq mate money? It Is fame that I sigh after. And "But you have got to change your dress and do your hair yet, aunt," sug gested Dorothea, gently. "So I have so I have!" said Aunt Clackett, "I do declare to you. child, I had nearly forgotten about the tea party. Let me see whom have we invited?" "Your cousin. Mr. Folkstone, and his wife," said Dorothea. Oh, yes, I remember now," said Aunt Clackett. "Fanny Folkstone, who Is always sending me jelly and embroidered slippers, and writes me such loving letters every birthday. "Andr Mr. Mole, the clergyman." "Such a pious, delightful voting man," paid Miss Clackett, "And the Misses Walker, who enjoy hearing the portions of my new serial so much, and my cousin, Theodore Teftnd old Mrs. Iiapidan.and Seringa Pole. Yes, yes, I remember now!" And Miss Claokett trotted op stairs to put on her black silk dress and gold mosaic set to do honor to the guests he had completely forgotten. In the middle of her toilet,however, a literary idea occurred to her, and sit ting down to commit it to prtper,she lost all count of time, until the hum of voices below warned her that her guests hr.d at lrtpt arrived. She then jumped up hastily, wiped her pen and flung the foolscap sheets this way and that, "I must mako haste," she said. lTu rrying down the staire, she be thought her of a certain little garnet clasp which she liked to wear, wwed on a velvet ribbon, acros ths parting of the snuff-colored "front" on her forehead. And squeezing herself into one of the odd little octagon closets between the parlor and dining-room she unluckily contrived to lock her self in by some patent arrangement as complete as it was terrible, "That self-locking latch I had put on last week," snid .Miss Clackett to herself. "Oh, dear! oh, dear! Here I am just exactly like the bride in tho 'Mistletoe Bough' song." She was about to call to Dorothea to come and liberate her, when the sound of her owu name, pronounced in the mild accents of Mr. Mole, the clergyman, arrested the words upon her lips. "Where is our dear Miss Clackett?" demanded that honey-voiced divine. "She must have fallen into a fit of abstraction up-stairs," id the eldest Miss Walker. "Tea is quite ready," said Dorothea. "I have rung the bell twice. Perhaps I had better go up-stai and see what has become of her." "Do, my dear," said old Mrs. Tlapl dan, who spoke in a slow, comfortable wav, "for I'm quite perishing for my teal" Away tripped Dorothea, and pres ently she came back with something of a scared lace. "I can't find her anywhere," said she. "I have called and called and I've looked in every room and she isn't thciv!" "Depend upon it,', said Mr. Folk stone, smiting the table with his hand, 'iohe's been and gone and dono it at last!" "Dor.3 what?" said mild Mr. Mole. "Committed suicide," said Mr. Folkstone. "She always was three quarters mad!" "Nonsensx?!" said Mrs. Kapidnn.with a spice of quiet malice in her voire "It was nothing on earth but temper.', "I've always tho'.ight sh3 ought to be put in an asvlum," said the young est Alias Walker. "And have an administrator an pointed over her affairs," added Mr. Theodore Tost, abstractedly helping himself to a lice of cold boiled tongue and anMher of York ham. Miss Clackett, who was not without a sense of humor, chuckled to herself as she listened to their remarkablo free and u ncom pi imsatary expressions of opinion. "Well," said Mrs. Bapidan, "dead or alive, I suppose ws had better havo our tea!" "I think," viciously announced Miss Seringa Pole, "that she's as mad as a March hare! AndI think her money should be equally divided between her relations." "So do I," said Mr. Folkstone. "Aud if she has hanged or drowned her self " "It's all those horrid literature hab its of hern." said Mr. Mole, with his mouth full of lobster salad. "Enough to undermine the strongest person's equilibrium!" "I know it all along," said Mrs. Folkstone. "I could gr- she was losing her mind what little there w.-.s of it to lose poor, m!1v old woman!' "Perhaps it might beas well to look around the preini.se a little, after sup per!" said Mr. Mole with a hungry glance in the direction of tho cold meat "And if you will be good enough to pour out the tea " "I won't!" said Dorothea, with blaz ing cheeks end a stamp of her little foot "Eh?" said Mr. Teft. "What?" ejaculated old Mrs. Rap Ida n. "Go out of the house, every one of vou," cried Dorothea. "To dars u. talk so of aunt, who is so good and generous! To sit quietly down lo eas ing and drinking when ebe is ic-thcre! To call her a lunatic a a " "Young woman," said Mr. Mole, you ace taking too much upon your self." "I should think so," said Mrs. Folk stone, "for a prtuper fondling picked oufc of the workhouse!" "Well, I never!" cried the Misses Walker in chorus. "Leave the house, I fay," reiterated Dorothea. "It is Aunt Clackett's house. You have no business to sit here and talk so about her!" "Aunt Clackett, indeed!" said Ser inga Pole. "As if she is any relation of yours, miss! I, for one, shall say what I please about her. She is a crazy old lunatic, and " Bnt just here there was a pound of a vigorous pair of knuckles on the door which connects the parlor closet with tlie dining room. "What's that?" said Mr. Mole, start ing np in alarm. "A ghost!" said Miss Walker, nerv ously. "Rats!" said Mr. Folkstone. "No,it isn't!" said Miss Clackett, "it is II Locked in hereby mistake. Do rothea, you will find the patent key on the parlor mantel-shelf. Be so good as to get it and kt me oat," And the next moment Mis Clackett walked smilingly out into the aston ished baud of her relations and friends, took the head of the table, and began to pour out the tea. "A hem!" coughed Mr. Mole. "We were really beginning to be quite alarmed about you," said Mrs. Folkstone, moving uncomfortably iu her chair. "So Ihould think," said Miss Clack ett. cheerily. But she was as pleasant and cordial as ever.and when her guests took leave they really did not seem to know whether they had been overheard or not After they were gone.however.Miss Clackett heid out her hand to Doro thea. "Come here and kis me, my dear," said she. "I see that 1 have one friend left in the world at least." And 6he made her will next day in favor of Dorothea Dodd. "Not that I mem to die at present," said she : "but it's always well to bo prepared for any emergency." And she never invited that particu lar party of guests to tea again as long as she lived.

The career of tho "Vibrator" has been one long serial success, tho best proof of which is perhaps found in the numerous imitators which have sprung up over the country claiming to embo dy the "Vibrator" principle, or to bo "as L-ood as the Vibrator." Mersrs. Nu hob;, Shepard & Co, have been es tablished fur more than thirty years dating from 1813: and for more than twenty yours the "Vibrator" has held the position at the head of threshers. Tlie features of uperioiity are so ma ny in the "Vibrator," that to fciiumcr ate them all would be a task for an ex perienced and practical operator. Among them we may notice a few. Tlie inner parts fer separating and cleaning are much wider than iu tho ordinary thicshtis. The separating work is complete aud mostly dono at the cylinder. The threshing is dono cleanly and perfectly, and there is no grain or seed left to remain in the head or carried out into the etraw. The grain is clean before it toucheH the sieve; and when tho "Vibrator" delivers grain it is iu condition fit for market. The simplicity of construc tion is an important feature in tho machinery of the "Vibrator." Tho run ning and wearing parts are few. Re pairs ccst but little, and all the parts arc built with reij-iid to durability and wear. No "Apron" machine will staud the wear and tear of years as tho "Vi brator" will.
