A PLEA FOR THE FIRE-PLACE.
Grandma sat with her fleecy shawl
Tightly drawn, for the air was chill.
The first sharp frost had pinched the grata
And tssec the leaves across the hill.
While through the clear air. crisp and brown.
The bhlnins nets came tumbling down.
Grandma's room has an oaten floor;
Persian rues of a quaint design:
Bare old paintings, a marble cloclc.
Costly hansinss rich and fine.
Her gown was silken. aad folds or lace
Sortly fell round her wrinkled face.
Grandma glanced through the shining pans
Down to the busy street below;
.Ever and on went the tramp of feet.
As the bustling crowd swept to and fro.
But her thoughts flew far from scenes like
these
To a quiet home "nesth the old elm-trees.
She felt the clear air, sharp with frost:
She saw the maples tinged with gold;
And from the sunny threshing-floor
She heard the laborers talk cl cold;
"While toward the w d-plle, towering high.
The farmer glanced with cheerful eye.
Again the wintry wind swept by;
Without, the storm and driving snow;
"Within, the fire-place heaped with logs.
The cheerful blaze and ruddy elotr;
And gathered close about his knee,
T"he farmer's rosy children three.
Grandma sirhed as the twilirht fell;
"Xothic? so good as a fire!" said she;
I remember how we gathered near
In the evening hour so dear to me;
A.nd he would talk of the crops, while I
Could tell of busy hours gone by.
-"And if thin? went wrong as go they will
To talk th-m over was help to me;
And the children listened as children should
Till tne father dozed and I was free;
And, looking into the embers red.
2 must find them a story to take to bed."
So, when the hou-e was hushed in sleep,
I lingered yet o'er the embers gr-y.
Covered the fire and wound th- clock
That marked the c'oe of a busy day."
Grandma sighed: 'The years have flown!
o fire gleams on the cold hearth-stone.
They may be better these modern ways
But the heart of home wa the firelight glow;
And c'o-er knit seemed the ties of love.
A vine- round a common center grow:
They may be better thee modem wars
But the home-light shone in the chesricg
blaze!"
Ames L. Mitchell, in Good Housekeeping.
HER HUSBAND'S MECE.
She Proved Any Thins But a Silly,
Troublesome Thing.
"Grorce. when did you get this let
ler?" asked Mattie Henderson, as she
glanct-d into her hubands face.
"On Wednesday," he said, with some
hesitation.
"And this is Friday," rebukingly re
plied his wife. "You carried it about
in your pocket for at least two days. It
is from your niece. Fanny Atwood. She
left New York yesterday and will be
here on the eight o'clock train this
rooming-, and it h half-past seven now.
This is a nice state of affairs, isn't it?"
-It torn careless in me. Mattie," the
young farmer regretfully admitted.
He was a handsome, good-natured
fellow, sturdy in frame and pleasing in
speech. lie had a whip in his hand, and
his wagon, loaded with milk cans, was
standing at the gate.
"She says she'll pet off at Forest
Ftation. where you are to meet her."
Mrs. Hender&on said.her eyes once more
on the letter.
"Oh. pshaw," cried the husband, with
an impatience unusual with him. "I
can't. I must have my milk at Beaver
station on time. "Why didn't she come
over the road most convenient to me?"
"I suppose she'll have to walk here,"
replied the young wife. "And a9 she
says that she intends to stay three
weeks, no doubt she has brought her
trunk with her a trunk of no mean di
mensions. I'll venture to predict. I am
a good deal more put out about it than
you are. There's the butter to chum.
the clothes to iron, the currant jelly to
make, and goodness only knows what
else. She'll be too dainty to lay a hand
to any thing, and will spend her time
reading, sleeping and lolling in the
hammock. She might have waited to be
asked."
'I know it will prove an infliction,
the husband consolingly said. "But I
guess there's nothing to do but to bear
it. Things may not turn out so bad as
you fancy they will."
He cot into the wagon and drove off.
Mrs. Henderson walked into the spring
house to chum the butter. She was
seldom peevish and rarely complained,
but the visit really seemed inopportune.
She was not very strong, and as she
worked early and late and took no rec
reation, it was beginning to teU on her
nerves.
The farm was not entirely paid for,
and they were not able to keep a girl.
She was a sensible little woman, and
felt that it was her duty to second her
thrifty husband's efforts. Leisure, if
not competency, would come by and by.
In descending the steps of the spring
house she f eU and sprained her ankle,
the pain so great that she almost
fainted.
That means a week of enforced idle
ness." she despairingly thought. "Time
so precious, and that fashionably
reared niece of George's more a hin
drance than a help. Oh, dear!
After much painful effort she suc
ceeded in reaching the sitting-room and
threw herself upon the comfortable
lounge. She fell into a doze, and when
she opened her eyes there stood Fanny
Atwood. looking down into her face.
She had on a plain, sensible-looking
traveling dress. Her figure was com
pact, her complexion healthy, her air
cheerful, her demeanor self-possessed.
Her cheeks were dimpled, her mouth in
dicated resolution, her soft brown eyes
offered confidence and invited it. She
had walked two miles through the hot
sun. over a dusty road, but one would
hardly have thought so, she looked so
neat, clean and placid.
"You are my Aunt Mattie. I suppose?"
she said in a low, sweet voice, a smile
lurking among her dimples.
"Yes, Mrs. Henderson said, with an
effort. "Your nncle forgot to giro b
your letter until this morning. He could
not meet you because he had to deliver
the milk over at the other railroad at
the hour you named. I am sorry yon
had to walk."
'I wasn't vexed about it," replied the
visitor. "Sbr am I in a hurry about my
trunk.""
"I sprained my ankle, Mrs. Hender
son said. "I am afraid. I will not be
about for three or four days."
"That is too bad," cornmiseratingly
rejoined Miss Atwood. "It seems I was
just to come. I can do ever so many
things for you."
"Yes," grimly assented Mrs. Hender
son. Til first look after that; ankle," the
visitor said, briskly, cheerfully.
She removed her dainty-looking cuffs,
and then took off her aunt's shoe and
stocking.
"It is considerably swollen," she said.
"I am not surprised," replied Mrs.
Henderson. "You will find a bottle of
liniment in the cupboard, yonder."
"I wouldn't put liniment on it just
yet," advised Fanny. "Have you any
sugar of lead?
"Very likely. Look in that medicine
box in the cupboard. There's a little of
every thing there, almost."
Fanny found the sugar of lead, and
then some linen suitable for a bandage.
She put the sugar of lead in a basin,
added cold water, soaked the bandage in
it and then wrapped it around the
swollen ankle. She went about it like
a professional nurse.
"That feels very cooling," Mrs. Hen
derson gratefully said.
"There is nothing reduces a swelling
like sugar of lead water," replied Fan
ny. "I'll wet the bandage every now
and then with it. Just you remain quiet,
dearie, and don't bother yourself about
any thing. You have no girl?"
"Xo, child." Mrs. Henderson said.
'We can not afford to keep one."
"I'll get uncle his dinner," announced
Fanny.
"You'll get George his dinner!" re
peated Mrs. Henderson.
Fanny noticed the incredulity in her
tone, laughed prettily, and said:
"Why shouldn't I? If you'll aUow me
to skirmish around I'll manage to find
things. However, it isn't near dinner
time yet. When I went to the kitchen
for the basin I saw you had sprinkled
the clothes. Shall I iron them?"
She saw the odd smile that came to
her tired aunt's lips and correctly inter
preted it.
"May be you think I can't iron?"' she
pleasantly said. "Just you wait and see."
"But the dress you have on, Miss At
wood. It "
"Was selected for service," completed
Fanny. "Of course 111 put on one of
your aprons."
When George Henderson returned
from hia errand he heard some one sing
ing in the kitchen. He stepped in and
saw his niece ironing away as deftly as
if she had spent the be3t part of her life
at it. She made such a pretty picture
that he stood still and looked at her.
"How do you do. uncle?" a twinkle of
merriment in her brown eyes; then she
went and kissed him, standing on tip-toe
to do so.
"I'm glad you've come, Fanny," he
said with heartiness. "I suppose Mattie
explained why I did not meet you at the
station? But why are you ironing?
Where is Mattie?"
"She is lying "down, uncle. She fell
and sprained her ankle."
Mr. Henderson stepped into the sitting-room,
a look of concern on his face.
"Why, dear, how did this happen?" he
kindly asked.
"Oh, how does any thing happen?" she
replied, a little querulously. "Through
my own awkwardness, no doubt, I al
most fainted, the pain was so great."
"Does it pain you now, dear?"
"I am glad to say that it doesn't."
"111 bathe it with sugar of lead wa
ter." he said. "There isn't any thing
better."
"Fanny has already dono thct," re
plied the wife. "It was her own. sug
gestion." "Oh," ejaculated Mr. Henderson, with
increasing appreciation of his niece.
"AHd she insists upon ironing. A
pretty mess she'll make of it!"
"Well, may be not." Mr. Henderson
said, in a quiet tone. "I watched her a
little while. Mattie, you are a good
ironer, but she is your eoual."
"Oh. nonsense. George!" exclaimed
his wife. "Beared in the city, as she has
been "
"Didn't necessarily make her a lazy,
silly, novel-reading imbecile," inter
rupted her husband. "Perhaps we
haven't been just to Fanny. I think she
is a solid, energetic capable sort of a
girl, and it is lucky that she came."'
"Well. I hope it may prove so.doubt
ingly rejoined the wife. "George. there's
the butter."
"I'll chum that," he said. "Well get
along. Just you keep your mind at
ease. You will get about much sooner
if you do.'
Fanny Atwood prepared dinner, now
and then slipping into the sitting-room
to wet the bandage, and to chat in her
cheery way with the patient.
On the third day Mrs. Henderson was
able to hobble to the kitchen, where
she found every thing in most excellent
ordeT.
"Look at my currant jelly," Fanny
proudly said, as she held up one of the
glass jars to the light. It was trans
lucent and bright as ruby tinted wine.
"It is very nice," Mrs. Henderson
said. "How much sugar did you take?"
'round for pound." replied Fanny.
"I wasn't extravagant, was I?"
"You were wise," her aunt said with a
smile.
She opened the door leading into the
ceUar.
"Fanny, did you whitewash the stair
way?" she asked in surprise.
"Yes, auntie- It needed it. I knew
you meant to do it. for I saw you had
slaked the lime. Isn't it nicely done?"
"Very nicely," Mrs. Henderson said.
"But it wasn't right for you to do it.
Surely your hands "
'Look at them," Fanny said, laugh
ing. "They are as white and soft as
any lady's. I put gloves on and then
I have a sort of dainty way of working.
I can do it weU without pitching into it
all over. I hare a knack, as mother
calls it. If it was right for you to
whitewash the ceUar-way, it was right
for me to whitewash it I came here to
help yon and to spare you; to ride the
horses, to go to the mill with Uncle
George, and to make myself useful aad
welcome. If you are not going to let
me work, or have anr fun, why, I'U go
right back to New York."
She spoke with voluble earnestness,
her gestures rapid, her dimples dancing.
Mrs- Mattie Henderson sat down in a
chair and cried.
"Why, aunt, what is the matter?"
asked Fanny, her brown eyes widening.
"I hope I didn't say any thing to "
"So, dear, you didn't," replied Mrs
Henderson, in a broken voice. "I am
crying because I am ashamed of myself
because 1 have been so unkind to you
in my thoughts. I supposed that you
would annoy me, and hinder me; that
you would be helpless, selfish, fault
finding; that you '
"But you think more kindly of me
now, do you not?" interrupted Fanny,
her hands moving caressingly over her
aunt's hair.
"Most certainly I do," replied Mrs.
Henderson, explosively. "That is why
I confess my injustice why I want to
make amends why I "
"Don't mind it, auntie," said the sweet,
forgiving, sympathetic voice. "I don't
censure you, and it's aU right now.
There may be and, in fact, there are
listless, frivolous, helpless girls in New
York City and in other cities but I
am not one of them. If I was, I am
afraid I would despise myself."
"I am glad you have come, Fanny,
and I will be sorry when you go," Mrs.
Henderson said, and she meant it. "My
prejudices misled me, and I have been
taught a lesson. Hereafter 111 not be
so hasty in estimating people, especially
before I have met them." Frank H.
Stauffer, in Detroit Free Press.
HARVESTING MACHINES.
They Were TTed By the Lowland Gaols In
the Days of Pliny.
The invention of the reaper, or more
properly speaking of a reaping machine,
is of unknown antiquity. The elder
Pliny, who was born when Christ was
but nineteen years of age, and who in
his mature years became a historian as
well as a naturalist, describes a reaper
used in his day by the Lowland Gauls.
This clumsy device, which would hardly
compare with a McCormick of the year
A. D. 1SS9, consisted of a wagon or cart
provided with shafts, into which one or
two oxen were yoked with their heads
facing the dash-board; that is, provid
ing, of course, they used dash-boards in
those days. To the hind part
of the cart, or to what would
be the fore part, this curious machine
being run tail first, was attached a bar
provided with sharp spikes set at an
angle which admitted of their, coming
together at the base a short distance,
say an inch, from whero they were
driven into the bar before mentioned.
Each of these early reapers were pro
vided with two men, one to drive and the
other to rake in the heads of the wheat
as they were cut or puUed off by the
sharp-toothed combing machine. A ma
chine, similar in all its details to the
one just described was used in England
up to about the time of George III.
In 1T99 an Englishman by the name of
Boyce was awarded the first patent on a
reaping device.
The first American patent was taken
out in 1S03. by the firm of French &.
Hawkins. Then came the Ten Eyck
and .Cope and Hooper patents, which
were issued in 1S25.
In 1S2S a preacher by the name of Bell
invented a rude reaper in Scotland,
which went the way of all the world
without practical results.
The first machine to command public
attention were those made on the plans
furnished by the Manning patent, which
was issued in 1S31. Obed Hussey and C.
H. McCormick invented the first ma
chines, in 1SS3 and 1S34, respectively,
which proved to the world that the har
vesting problem was forever solved.

HOW TO USE MONEY.
Every Watted Dollar U a New link ia the
CbjUb of Bondage.
The highest value of money is not its
value exchangeable for luxuries for
houses, equipage, art, service, and so
forth. It is chiefly prized for the power
which it giTes ot er others for the old
potency, marked so long ago, which
makes the borrower servant to the
lender. But its highest value is to
free the borrower from bondage to the
lender. The highest value of money is
in its power to purchase personal liberty
and independence. There are other
ways in which men gain emancipation
from personal servitude to other men,
but they are open to but few. A man
who has exceptionally fine talents in
literature, art or applied science of any
kind may be a free man: but the great
mass must purchase themselves with
money. By this we do not mean free
dom from dependence upon our fellow
men. No man can escape that, and it is
one of the most beneficent of the fund
amental laws of nature that it can not be
done. Mutual dependence is essential to
the development of all the finer vir
tues. But we do mean personal
servitude, the necessity of obeying an
individual master. Ordinarily this
may not be in itself a hardship; but
emergencies do come, and come not in
frequently, when this servitude involves
the sacrifice of sacred rights and man
hood often the sacrifice of conscience.
Lack of knowledge of the highest value
of money leads to a very general sacri
fice of its best use to inferior uses. Peo
ple buy luxuries better houses, living,
etc. not knowing that they are selling
their liberties for present gratifications.
Every young man ought to start out
with this one main object in life in
Tiew, to win his freedom. It is an in
spiring struggle, and one in which the
high motive will lift him over many
hardships. He may win it as a scholar
win it by the highest possible develop
ment of his mental and moral powers
by any thing that gives him superiority
in any kind of work. But in lieu of
special talents, money will do it. Every
asted dollar is a new link in the chain
of bondage. Interior

A few years ago a fashionable table
was so piled with high dishes that it
was impossible to see one's vis a vis

Brown Steamed Pudding. One
quart of fiour, one coffee cup of .raisins,
one teacupful chopped suet, one teacup
half full of molasses and filled with
brown sugar, one teaspoon of soda, two
cups sweet milk, a Httle salt. Mix and
steam three hours. Use two heaping
teaspoonfuls of baking powder instead
of soda if preferred. Serve with sauce.
Almond Custard. Put over a quart
of milk (half cream is better), in a double
boiler; when near boiling, stir in the
yelks of six eggs with the whites of two,
a small cupful of sugar and half a pound
of almonds, blanched and pounded to a
paste, with four tablespoonfuls of rose
water. Stir carefuUy until the custard
thickens, then remove it from the fire
and set to cool. When almost cold, stir
thoroughly and pour into cups. Use the
reserved whites of eggs in making a
meringue, flavor with almond, and put
a little heap on each cup.
Cod-fish Cakes. One pint bowl of
cod-fish picked very fine, a two pint
bowl of raw peeled potatoes, put to
gether in cold water and boil until the
potatoes are thoroughly cooked. Drain
off every particle of water, mash with a
potato masher, add a piece of butter the
size of an egg, two weU beateD eggs and
j a little pepper. Mix well with a wooden
spoon, nave a Irying-pan with deep
boiling lard, into which drop a spooaf ul
of the mixture and fry brown. Do not
freshen the fish but wash well; do not
mold into cakes but drop from the
( spoon. Good Housekeeping.
Scrambled Oysters. One quart of
oysters, one pint of milk, one table
spoonful of butter, and flour suffi
cient to thicken Hke cream; put the
milk into a spider, and beat to boiling;
when about to boil add the oysters; as
soon as they are boiling add the thick
ening with salt, white pepper and a
tablespoonful of sage and a teaspoonf ul
of tomato sauce; do not let the oystere
boil long: remove from the fire and stir
in the butter: toast some crackers,jlace
them on a warm platter, moisten them
a little with warm milk or water, place
on each half-cracker a large spoonful of
oysters, and pour the cream over and
around them.
STYLES FOR WINTER.
Changes and Modifications From Popular
Autumn Fashions.
The Directoire styles have served a
good purpose in introducing the long
princesse coats and the modest princesse
dresses which will prevail during the
coming winter. The Empire styles re
main in favor, their classic designs
Toeing copied literally for evening
gowns, while their folded bodices, made
without visible darts or side forms in
the back, are used in various ways for
day dresses, often having the skirt
sewed to them permanently, making a
dress in one piece, as convenient and as
easily put on and off as the more simply
shaped princesse dresses. Basque
bodices have of late been left almost
entirely to tailor gawns, but 'Worth has
never entirely abandoned them, and he
now makes basque backs slashed in
square tabs to complete his mediaeval
corsages, with cuirass front and slashed
sleeves. A broad back is a new effect
seen on many gowns, given by coat-like
forms of even length below the waist,
with the tab finish just mentioned, or
else by round waists with fullness from
the neck and shoulders down to the
waist line, dispensing with all seams
that might make a tapering effect, hav
ing only the under-arm seams that are
absolutely necessary. The fronts of
waists are as fully draped as they have
been of late, and in many very elegant
dresses are round, while the back is
pointed. The collar is high for street
gowns, but lower, and either round or
rxrinted. for house dresses. Sleeves are
also varied according to the different ;
gowns, those for the Street being only
.i t. i mi i"
targe-iuppvu. coat sieeves. or me ampler
mutton-leg sleeves, while for the house
they are the fullest bishop's sleeves, as
full below the elbows as at the arm
holes, or else they are full over-sleeves,
falling open to show an under-sleeve,
which is plain or in full puffs, according
to the material of which it is made. 1Ye
must also metion the coat sleeve with a
simple round Empire puff at the top,and
row after row of velvet ribbon or of
passementerie passing around the sleeve
below, a fashion that makes long arms
look shorter and thin arms fuller.
Foundation skirts are not changed in
shape, and the skirts of street gowns
retain their straightness in plaits all
around, or else they have smooth scant
fronts with slight upward curves
from hip to hip, and the mass of fullness
gathered at the back. In some of the
long coats or over-dresses a tendency
toward fullness or slight drapery is seen
bv cutting off the back forms in corset
shape, and sewing on the full skirt,
sometimes with a slight jabot effect;
still others have a point or two points in
the middle forms coming over the skirt
fullness, but the greater number retain
the continuous princesse breadths, with
additional fullness plaited in the seams. ,
What was long ago called the "Slar
guerite polonaise back," with its fullness
draped under two bows on the seams be
tween the middle forms and the side
forms, is seen again in both gowns and
coats; and, indeed, almost any arrange
ment is permissible lor the back of
gowns, provided it does not: make the
fullness project in a shelving tournura.
