It was a, cold, sour eve with nothing
suggestive of spring or llowcrs, save
tlie l)oys and girls in merry glee hang
ing their M:i3' baskets sparse of. llow
crs jerking the bells with such gusto
that Mine were seriously maimed
their rushing " tc-hc-ing" under the
covert, of post or tree to watch the
recipient open the door and obtain the

Jack and I had wailed upon the door
by turns all the evening with fair suc

temper began to get frayed amd give
out also.
'Oh, it ts not worth losing your
temper over," 1 said, soothingly, alter

the door, only to receive a volley of
laughter from the boys and g rls lid
beltiud a lilac bush. "We will pay no
further attention to the door, and the
fun will cease."
So it proved.
We retitcd at a seasonable hour,
leaving a light in the sitting-room.
Presently we were awakened from a
MNind sleep by another ring of the bell,

of our house; but supposing it tho boys
we soon ceas-d to bo annoyed by it.
Jn the cold gray of the following
morning I was awn Kcncd by hearing my

.strange voice in the kitchen 1 could
not niake it out. neither the subjccL that
engrossed them. Presently .lack
stepped to the bedroom door, saying:
"1 have started the lire, Aurelia. and
will be back soon!"
And he was gone before I could ask
a question toMit'ffymy curiosity, which
was at its height when a moment later
1 saw my husband going down the
walk in cioe conversation with a tall,
well-buill stranger wearing a silk hat.
These were all the points 1 had time to
note before they turned the corner and
were out of sight.
In the course of two hours Jaek re
turned, but alone.
Who was your mysterious morning
caller?" 1 .asked, with ill-cfncealed cu
riosity, as we sat dowu to Ihc savory
breakfast
"Au old school friend!" was the
somewhat short reply.
Noticing his desire to conceal some
thing, 1 was, of course, bristling with
interrogation points.
"It's" no use. I see," said Jack,
breaking into a sunny laugh at my
manv questions, "and perhaps I ought
to tell you. though the poor fellow
begcd 1 would not mention it to you.
"His name is Burt Latimer we wore
schoolmates at Hilton Academy twenty
years ago. He was a bright, geuerous
fellow his father was wealthy, and
Burt always had lots of money. It
seems thathe is married and living in
Ncw York, and travels for a large

It seems that while waiting hero an

"That was two weeks ago, and ever

until he was almost naked, and had
absolutely nothing with wlfch to pur

gradually got sober enough to realize

"But what can we do for bim?" I

to see."
Presently Mr. Latirner turned down
our street and I don't think I ever be
held a more .singular or pitiable sight.
As 1 have said, Mr. L. was tall and well
proportioned his features were lino
and almost classical -and he would
have been observed in any crowd and
pronounced a gentleman. " But to see
such a person as this clad in the thin,
scanty, shabby habiliments of a drunk
ard was pitiable in the extreme!
Mv husband met him at the gate, but

the night rains! and how his face
(lushed and paled as he made a wretched
attempt to lengthen his coat and hide
his coar.-e shoes.
Though I addressed him as a gentle
man and a former friend of my hus
band, he of course saw through my at
tempt to ignore his misfortune and was
covered with humiliation. I was deep
ly distressed for him. and said with all
the warmth of my being (and this was
my real errand);"! shall expect you
back to dinner with my husband, Mr.
Latimer!"
"Thank vou. Mrs. Carl." was the
graceful, gentlemanly reply, "but II
nave been unfortunate aim am in no
condition to accept yoirr kind hospitali
ty." But I persisted and he agreed tc
return.
That evening (for we induced him to
remain until the train left for L .
which was the following day.) he and
Jack got to talking about old times at
the Academy. He would smile and
even laugh; but the laugh seemed to
choke him and the smile turned into a
shadow as he re.tli.ed Ins uncouth ap
pearance and the unfortunate cause.
And what wonder!

girls I ever met!"
' "And you would find her just, tho

his features quivered with pain at some
reeol'ection.
Before I left I was alone with him a

to unburden his heart to me and talked !
freely of his past life.
"This is my worst and last debauch.

At the mention of her name tin

handing him a handkerchief to dry his
tears, "but what rait 1 do?"
"Won't you write a pledge? I never

Most ctiecrfull-1 drew up a simple
pledge and he signed it in a clear bUM-ucs-likc

BERRYING AND FISHING.
The Latisbin? Time Which Krltc the
Womlcr fr Two Utile CUrl.
Two little girls, with checked sun-
j bonnets on their heads and tin pails in
their hand--, were walking along the
sidewalk of a certain town in Maine.
One was named lAz'.c I'ulsifcr, and the
other Hannah Cooke. Lizzie was eight
years old; so was Hannah. I would
mention the name of the town, but
they are both women now. with little
girls of their own, and they might not

early May. When the' reached Fred

"Ha! ha! ha!" was Fred's Tcply. "I

"Wt 1 , 1 th'nk wo shall," replied Liz
zie. "I know whore tbey used to be
vorv thick."
"You do!" said Fred. I hope they
will be thick now. You'd b-tter go
fishimr. That's whatl'm going to do."
And he turned away, .till laughing
heartily.
When they left Fred the girls walked
along qtretly again until they reached
the railroad.
"Wo shall have to walk along on the
track a little ways," said Hannah; "but
we can watch for trains."
They walked some time, stepping
from sleeper to sleeper, until Lizzie saw
smoke in the distance Hannah said it
was a train coming, aad that t ey milst
hurrr oil" the track as fast as they eo Id.
So, long before the train arrived, they
had elimlu'd'a fence and were in a pretty
pasture on tho edzc of the woods.
They laoked around for blueberries.
They found plenty of lovely pink-atid-white
arbutus (or. as they called thorn.
Mav-tlowers), and great bunches of
purple iolet, and wii.te houstmias
w th tneir yellow eyes, and ground nut
blossoms: and on bushes wh'eh looked,
Hannah sai 1. very much like blueberry
bushes, they found pretty white bell
shaped Mower-, just tinted with pink,
but they couldn't find any blueberries.
They picked the young checkerberry
leave which re jut jieepingoutof the
ground; and at last, getting bolder. they
strayed a little way into the woods and
gathered some lovely ferns. But not a
blueberry was to bo s 'en.
"It's queer." sa d II tnnah. 4I won

this is the place where they used to be
s thick, 'cause that's the very stump

the fence anywhere else. on know,
'cause 'twas so high- But we'll keep
on searching.",,
Just then the town-clock, in the dis
tance, struck.
"Oh. it's cloven o'clock," exclaimed
Hannah, who had counted each stroke
aloud, "and mother told us to be home
at twelve. Wo shall have to start,
and wo haven't got a single bluelerry.
IVhat do you s' pose made x our Aunt
Sarah laugh so, when I asked her if
wo could stay till we got our pails
full?"
I don't know," said Li.zie, thought
fully; "and Fred laughed, too.when we
told him wo wore going hlucberrying.
Wliat was he laughing at?''
"Oh! I don't know, I'm sure, said
Hannah: "he's always laughing. But
1 don't care. We've had a good time,
any way."
They climled the fence acain. and
found themselves close to the ditch by
the tide of the railroad. The spring
rains had filled it with water. They
could not resist the temptation to take
-oil" their shoes and stockings and wade
in it. They were haviug the bo-t of
time of all 'then, when Lizzie exclaimed:
"Hannie. we might catch some fish.
See! there's one. Let's try."
"We haven't any hooks," objected
Hannah.
"Weil, we m'ght hold our pails and
tch some;" and Lizzie held hers

enough, she caught a little one that was

She put her ti-di up on the bank in a
safe plaee, and then she and Hannah
went to fishing in good earnest.
It was rather slow work after that;
but. when Hannah had caught three
and Lijuae three, they heard the clock
striking twelve.
So. with their bunches of flowers
fern and checkcrberry leaves, and
their pails of tsh. they started for
home. Their dresses were draggled
and spattered with muddy waten and
they carried their shoes in'their hands.
They did not dare to take time to pot
iheni on. lest the fish could not be fried
for dinner.
How mam- blueberries have you
Iiicked? shouted Fred, who was om'the
ookout for them.
-YVe conidn't find tbe place,' said
Hannah; so we thought we'd go fish
ing, aad weve had good luck. Lizzie
caught three and I caught three.
"What kind are thev? trout?'
"Yes. I think soO' said Hanaah. ;
she lifted her pail-cover cautiouslv for

Hannah's father. As she went in at tho

who was just coming out.

PANSY'S REASON.

for Hating m Good Time.
Pansy was asked to a party the other
day, and was quitu undecided whether
to accept the invitation or to stay at
borne. I happened to know that the
lady who was to give the arty was a
very kind and lovable woman, ami a
charming hostess. Young people always
enjoyed themselves in her lujuse; be
sides, she had been a schoolmate of
Tansy's mother, and it was hardly
courteous for I'qpsy to slight her invita
tion unless she had a very good reason.

thinks that when people are goou
enough to want you, you should, as a
rule, gratify them if you cau.
I tried to ascertain tho reason for
Pansy's hesitation- She frankly told
mo that, in the first place, she was
afraid her dress was too plain; in the
second place, she was ery shy and
timid in company, and alwavs felt as

guests would be strangers to her. and
she did not like meting alrangers.
Three reasons: So. 1, dress too plain;

Pansy is not the only girl whose good
times are spoiled hy just such absurd

the war and its high duties upon im

The Passaic Falls an-" falls no longer;
their picturesque basin seldom catches
so much a- a drop from the sheer preci
pice above, and Ls filled only by the
back-water from below the race; but
instead the water from dams up stream
and the reservoirs on the hill-tops
nishes through the open race-way along
Mill street, turning thousands of spin
dles and of looms, as it finds its way
again to tho lower river. The city built
about this water power relies, never
theless, largely upon steam. Far from
the river as well as near are the huge
brick factories which are the hives of
industry. After the census of ltM Pat
erson increased its silk product until it
reached nearly half the total of silk
goods manufactured in this country,
but within a year or two pat it has
suffered both from the removal of many
of the simpler processes to country
factories and from the general indiis-
tnal depression.
Outside the great cities tho
largest
silk factories of the country are at

N'ohody can lc gay with a martyred

some great advantages over a fat one.
She can always find ready-made clothes
to tit her, cau walk far ami fast with
out fatigue, and is not so much in the
way in the pit or balcony of a theater.
Hut her stout sister is "not bound to
crowd on all the furniture that fashion
invents. Indeed, she inu-t go in for
simplicity of nature. Her flesh, to a
great degree, clothes her. Also, when
side-teeth go, the cheeks of the stout
or buxom matron do not fall in, nor do

soft manners, good sense, eleated
feelings, and withal a hidden spice of
.scepticism and humbug. The sterner

a reason why InMievolence should

An immenc shoal of fish lately went
