" I came with my husband. He died very soon. 1 have no relative left." 44 And I do not know whether I have or not," sighed Madame Galson; 44 but I was very, very wicked when I was a girl. Married against my par ents' will, and I left home secretly. M' husband brought mo to America, and I wroto to my mother, but she never answered me. They would not forgive me. Afterward, when trouble came, I was too proud to write; Madame Noir looked at hcrjgucst, and her heart began to beat vidlently. 44 Had you no sister to intercede for you?" she asked. . 44 1 had a dear sister," said Madame Galson. "She was young, Out I know she would have endeavored to soften my parents. It is strange that she nover wrote to me.

"Ah"-es," said Madame Galson. "I saw by 3our noto that it was also yours, Madamo'-pnrdon me, but I be lieve that at the samu age you must have resembled Gabrielle in the eyes.

Ho had a chateau near Paris. His father had maflo a larC'ortuno as a manufacturer of silks: -He' hfmsolf lived on his propcrt3. "My husband wjm not of his countrv. his rcliiriou. or his sentiments. Therefore he hated fhjm; yet 1 had thought ho would forgive "us, when we wurcxeally married, and that nay mother, would at least write.";, F 44 Oh, Madame, what is it that troubles 3'ou? Aro3'ou ill?" And Madame Gal son, interrupting her speech, bent toward Madame Noir, who was weep ing. " 111?" replied Madamo Noir. " Oh, no; I am agitated -overcome.

The 3'oungcr sister s hand stole into that of tho eider.' rJt was no place for demonstration of anj- sort; but, in her heart, Madamo Noir was giving thanks to Heaven. "And so," said Lizzy, with her cheeks all pink with pleasure, as she sat sewing in her mother's little home on her next holid:i3 afternoon "and so, mother, it has turned out that Mrs. (ialson is Madamc's sister that she hasn't seen since tlury wero girls to gether. And Mrs. Galson and the four children aro coming to live with Madame for good, and never have to work hard and bo ioor nsain. And Madamo says she's glad the Governor proclaimed Thanksgiving, and .sho ought to be, for she's got more than comfort b3 it folks to love her dearby, as only your kin can.

Mary Kyle Dtillas. Garrulous Frenchmen. AH Frenchmen, and especialby Frenchwomen, know how to talk when they've nothing to sa3. This is a most valuable accomplishment. Maiiy a man with an' amount of information inside of him which ho longed to rid himself of has been obliged to remain silent all his life and die dumb because he couldn't get started conversationally by talking when ho had nothing to sa Your very wise and ver3' reticent man thinks ho must sav something worth saying cver3 timo. ho opens his lips. This is a great mistake. Indeed, it is verj questionable whother the; best of his self-roruttd -wise savings wero realby wgrth saying at all. A great deal of the learned sense of a hundred or twolnmdred years, ago has turned out nonsense, and itvmay bctho same wa3' with our reputed profundity. Tho man over-careful of his talk ostracises himself from his kind and is a hermit in a crowd." I doubt if a French her mit was ever known.

S. DePool, a whole sale dealer in alcoboL Tho family con sisted of his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth De Pool and four children, the youngest of whom was a little boy of five years of ago. named Solomon. It was decided a few weeks ago thatho wai old enough to sen to school this fall, and accord ingly on the reopening of tho public schools la-it Mondaj- he was sent to the one on Fortieth street. It was arranged that a girl who attended school should call for him ever) day eoing and com ing therefrom. Accordingly on Mon day morning she stopped at the house and took tho littlo fellow to school. As it happencd.thc class in which Solomon was placed was disraisjed before the one to which she belonged, and the 're sult wae that when she called to tak him home she found that he had al icady left with the rest of the little scholars. Sho hurried to Solomon's house and tearfully inquired of his mother if he had reached home. To her dismay she found that he had not. The mother, frantic with grief, when she heard what had happensd waited not to put on hat or wrap, but dashed out of the house, attired as who was in a calico dress, in search of him. She in quired of tho neighbors if they had seen anything of her darling boy, and being informed that they had not she sought for him everywhere. Her relatives along tho street leading to the school, and in fact every place she thought i. possible he mightbe, wcrurisited. As a last recourse sho went to tho station house on Fertrtsevcnth street, between Eighth and Ninth avenue. Sergeant Frink who was at the desk was besoight for intelligence of her lost child intones so agitated that she could hardly do scribe him or give her own name or address. Sergeant Frink was visibly affected by her manner and begged her to cafm herself before he led her into a room where thcro were a number of lost children. Sho tried hard to do so, rso grc4.)tas her eagerness tasec as soon as possible if her boy was among1 the stra waifs, and had, to all appeaj-,-ances, succeeded, when tho door was opened for her loading into the room where the little ones were. But the moment she caught sight of her beloved boy, who was, indeed, among those preseat, having been found wandering in Fifty-ninth street, she lost all con trol of herself. Shrieking: " My child, my child!" sho ran to moot him and clasped him to her breast, almost smothering him with kisses arid 'weep ing with ' joy. Sergeant Frink asked her if she had not better wait a few minutes at the station house 'until she had regained her composure, but she answered that she wished to reach homo before her husband should return from business. Sho therefore took little Solomon by tho hand and walked down Forty-seventh street toward Ninth av enue. Just as she reached the corner she was seen to clasp her hand to her breast, stasiror and fall backward to Passers-by rushed to thinking- sho had crowd soon gathered tho pavement. her assistance swooned, and a around. Her face wore an expression of intense suffering, her complexion was of a grayish hue, her teeth were set and hands clenched. Efforts were made to bring her to b3 tho b-stand-crs, who knew not that she had died almost before touching the sidewalk, and that sho was now bo3ond tho reach of human aid. Finding their endeav ors to restore animation unavailing and fruitless, word was dispatched to the station house of what had occurred. Sergeant Frink had the body conveyed, thither, and information of the event was sent to Mrs. DcPool's residence. Shortly aftorward Mr. DePool and his son reached home only to find that 'tho wife and mother thc3; had leftiri perfect he ilth a few hours before, and bidden good-by with a smile on her face, was now lyin cold in dea'h at a station house. They hastened to the. place,' stopping on the way to bring their fam ily physician. Of course nothing could be done by the latter, and the husband sot out to obtain permission from Cor oner Ellingcr for tho removal of tho body, while the son remained b3' the sido of his mother until his return. It is believed that the excitement under which sho was laboring while in search of her child aggravated the form of heart disease from which sho wa doubtless suffering, and was tho cause of her decease; "ur, that the joyful re action from the terrible mental strain she had undergone before finding her boy had burst one of the blood-vessels connecting with the brain. and so caused her death. Mr. DePool stated that she was and had been in perfect health up to the tlav of her death, and had never been known to have any affection of the one of the left. It's about the only heart. She was thirty-four years of ( thing I ever did get left on.

Their, clothing consistsof two or three la3ers contain ing more or less warmth according to the season, and they are thoroughly protected, if properly dressed without injurious weight, or hindranco to growth and development. The utmost refinement iu simple ma terials is now obtainable, and dainti ness in cotton or linen, warmtli. and lightness in wool, aro much more de sirable than Jlimsincss in, silk. .One of the merits to economical mothers of tho present styles is that they require but a small amount of material, and it is -r. ? t which is 01 tne oest m quality ana aesign. The woolen materials of the present season are "well adapted for children's wear, because they aro so neat, yet so attractive iu their cassimere and heath er mixtures. They are also accompa nied by clustered, striped or plaiaed trimming in well blended shades, and patterns, which adapt .themselves, ad mirably to the kiltings, and scari-like folds or drapery which forms their prin cipal ornamentation.

DcmorttC s Monthly. The Cause ef Rhennatlsi One of the most remarkable things In medical science U a discovery recently mado by a Philadelphia physician. hen so maty hundreds of years pass over without an3 new discovcrv bo!ng Tiiadc. and when ono is made, like vac cination, and they aro not dead suro whether it amounts to anything or not. a new discover that. the djicorcrcr will swear b is a hi" thing. "ThrsThifa delphia cloctbr has discovered that rheu matism is. the direct result of cold.fuet. There is no discovcrv that has ever been j made in tho human anatomy that stands to reason an3 more, than this. Many thousands of men are going around crippled and bent with rheuma tism and suffering untold agonies and they have never known what caused their bones to ache. Of course they knew that their wives had cold feet but they had no idea that every tinio thoso No. 2 icicles were placed in the small of -the back to get warm that they wero sowing the seeds of rheumatism. We prcsumo thcro is a hundred pound-- of male rheumatism to occr3 square "inch of cold female foot, and tho Philadel phia doctor should be thanked by men 6f rheumatic tendencies, as well as 'by women of arctic pedal extremities for his timely discover". There is no woman who cnio3s eco ing her husband in throes of rheumatic pains, and now that the3 know that their cold feet havo brought about so much suffering, wo trust thc3 will try and lead a different life. Of course, wo do not expect an3 woman h goinz to bed and leave her feet out on the floor, or under a coal stove. This could not be expected. But thoy can adopt some method to soften the rigors of a hard winter. They can paint their Jcct-a nice warm color, or havoasnnimerknn sct painted on tho instep, or a fircplaco on the bottom of their feet. Anything that will make their feet seem" warm will be a relief to their rheumatic hus bands. A pair of zinc over-shoes to wear in bed would help some verv cold feet several degrees. Men are too valuable to be cripplod up with rheu matism, just for the temporary comfort thoy can confer upon their "wives b' allowing the small of their backs to bo used in lieu of a grate lire. Wc trust that the cold-footed portion of our fe male population will look at this maMcr in its true light, and. if ncccssar3 leavo their feet iu the porter's room at bed time, and get a check for them. l'cck?$ Sun. A Boy's Thnnkrqrlilng. I believe a boy can be as thankful on Thanksgiving Day as a man, if he tries awful hard. Some bo3s are too mean to tr3', and tho3 general' die off in the spring. I'm thankful I a'n't a girl. Girls can't slide down cellar doors, or hitch on, or throw snow-balls worth a cent. TI103' can't take bumps like boys, and if they roll off a sled and their mothers find it out, lhc- get boxed. Pm thankful that dad is still alive. When he dies I'll havo to split the wood and build the fires. He is also very useful in cleaning oil' tho snow and thawing out the penstock. I'm thankful I'm not in the grave. whero some bovs are. Some have been taken and some left, and I'm glad I'm this year. We're jroinir to have chick- en and mashed Inters and pickles, and them's good enough for us. Pm going to pass my plato twice, whether it's fashionable or not. I think a boy with half a chicken iu him feels more' tony than the boy who didn't get anything but the neck. The more I think of it tho more I seo to be thankful for. I fell into the river twice last summer, and didn't stay thcro eithcr time. I fooled with dad's re volver, and sent a bullet into sister Marv's ear. Pm awful thankful it didn't hit her in the head. I found a dog and sold him for a pair of skates. I found ton cents, and forgot to hido it when I went to bed, and ma never found out I guess I'll put that in nmoncr the thanks. I erot run over by a butcher cart and wasn't hurt at alL J I'm thankful, and tho butcher is jnad. A boy in Chicago was blowed sky high with 'gunpowder. A boy in Cleveland swallcrcd pizen. A boy in Syracuse got burnt up. A bo- in St Louis got in, front of a cannon. You bet I'm thankful! I kinder wish I was big enough to knock abo38hcad off when ho turned up his nose at my two shill'ng skates, but I'll have to get along somehow, and be thankful that I can outrun any boy I can't lick. Be Iroit Free Press. Caaght In His Own Trap. A story quite as good for being true is told of two medical students, the ono a very large and the other a very small person, who were room-mates and bed-fellows: On acertain warm night the big man, who was on the inner side, awoke to the consciousness that he was being crowded to the. wall, his companion having taken a good-sized reservation in the middle of the bed, B- way of punishing the encroachment with neatness and dispatch, he gently adjusted his soles and ousted the little fellow so effectually as, to land h:m on tho carpet The "ejected ono showed no sign of resentment nights later, when until several j finding h's bulky comrade occupyiBg a poshibu simuar to the one in which he had givea offense, he plotted a revenge.

Drains about tho barns should not only include thoofor carrying off the rain-water,, but there should be sulli clcnt of them to carry off tho liquid manure where it ean be saved and made use of. Thtstcirtof the manure con- tains nearly all the potaih and nitrogen of the food, ami w far too valuable to lo.-c. ove'n at tho cost of 'considerable oxpenso in pt-ownng xor lis saving. And yet how few armors save any por tion of it, although fertilizers , are pur chased at crcat cost every car.

These, liquids may bo earned 1 hi to a shallow pit, cemented at tho bottom, or a tank lined with plank, and these may be filled with absorb'mts. if juxly 'earth can be so used, and (liesc added to the manure-heap; or the solid manure and litter ma be whoeted out of tho slablos and thrown into the pit or tank, and made to absorb the liquid. But tho drainage from the' roofs should net bo mixed witfe'tho manure, or the latter will bo so .sodden that it will. not fer ment and heat, and the valuable parts of it will be washed out. The field- drains 'may rtot require an' . elaborate system of under ground tile draining. Thomauds of dollars have been buried in tlis way without any necessit-. There are circumstances in which underdrafuing in a thorough .and complete manner mn3' bo required. As. . turi instauce. when water Hows from high ground and saturates a lower place, this saturated ground requires a complete 3stem of dra'ns to remove the water from it But tho evaporation from the soil in our American climate whero hcati are intense nnd drying winds blow almost continualby from the interior of tho continent is so great that the soil soon loses a surplus of water that mav han- 1 pen from occasional heavy rains, and tho danger wo experience is rather from a deficiency than an excess of moisture. It is not safe in this respe?t to re3' upon English authorities ami opinions. In that moist climate, al though the ra'n-fall is not much more than half as much as ours, tho soil is nearly a' ways filled to overflowing bo cause" of the" very in idnquatc amount of evaporation. There the air is tilled with moisture for weeks at a time, .-o that a constant drizzle is falling, even when the almost daily showers havo an intermission. On this account l he ex cess of water in the soil calls for com plete uiidcr-draiwige. even in sandy and gravelly fields. With us circum stances aro entirely diftercnt, and wo cannot wisel- follow the ad vice or imitate the examples given in English books or journals: nor can we depend upon the advice given by American writers who take their opinions at second hand, and not from personal knowledge of our cir cumstances. Partial drainage will servo our purpose effo -tivel' and cheap" in nearly every c.xse. Where there is a wot spot fed" by spring- a drain may be carried through it, and if there arc many such places in a field a few lines of drainage cutting the most of these, with a short lateral hero and there, will be sufficient Bank, coarse grass, sedges and rushes in dicate staguant water in the soil,, ami wherever these are found a drain will be rcouircd. But it will bo unwlso to completely underdniino field because n few spots of this ,kind aro found in it. Surface drains will be found Useful to carry off the water from newly sown eraiu fields.

Times. --.-.- - -. . Feed H. Cora. Stalks I have-aever, until bow. been able to account for. tho different values, variou" practical pcoplo put upon corn stalks. True, there is a great difference in dif ferent klntls-of "com, in the way itis fell, etc., bafcafter all tho great variation in value is caused b its dryness. That which is cured somewhat moist even if more or loss moldy, is greatly preferred by the cattle, to hard, dry, brittle stuff, which has lost almost all its flavor, and doubtless a good deal of its nutritive qualities. Simply sprinkling the por tions of stalks to be fed next, so that thev will have a few hours to absorb the water, helps a great deal, but still it is 1 not at all like having uaiurally moist fodder. If the water used to soften the stalks is salted, and tlavorcd with a few handfuls of bran, this will make a great difference. No doubt the best plan to feed corn fodder is to cut and steam it with such additions of roots, "bran, etc., as are desirable. Few can do this; many, however, follow what is the next best plan to cut the corn fodder, and mix it with bran, then to pour scalding water in abundance over the mass, and cover it up with rubber sheets, rubber army blankets, er place it in a-Box with a close lid. .so that it shall have a good, soaking and "sweating." In whatever way it is fed, it should be cut the finer the' better; bat even if it be cut in foot lengths, every farmer will find his ac count for it A large part of dry-fed stalks is rejected, and gets into the manare. where it is a trreat nuisance. first in-frettia? it eat and then ia cleaa culture.
