ilics Payne was 35 if a day, but
she had managed far belter than
many of those who were girls with
her to keep some of the old fresh
ness in the roses of her cheeks and
the old brightness and luxuriance in
her brown hair.
Slio was thinking of old times this
morning ns she rolled out her flaky
crusts. Fifteen years ago she had
been getting ready for a picnic, just
ns she was doing now. But there
was another in the kitchen then a
young man with a handsome fane
and laughing eyes, and she remem
bered how saucily he interfered with
her work, nnd how she threatened
to shower him with the contents of
I he flour-bowl if he didn't behave
himself; and lie had dared her to
put her threat into execution and she
hnd kept her word. She could see
him now as he stood thnt morning
looking like a veiitable miller with
his eyes full of mischief as he begged
so humbly for her to dust it off. And
she remembered, as if it happened
yesterday, how, when she had un
dertaken the job, all of a sudden he
took her in his arms and kissed her;
nnd when she shook herself away
from him she was such a sight to
see, with powdered hair and snowy
eyebrows and cheeks as white as any
ghost's. And just then her father
had come in aud stopped in surprise
on the threshold, looking from her
to John with n twinkle in his eye.
And all he had said was
"Seems to me you forgot to pow
der a spot on your cheek, Hester,"
aud then he went away chuckling,
and Hester had proceeded to brush
herself up, with sundry threats of
dire retribution directed at the
laughing culprit who had retreated
to a position outside, where he felt
safe from feminine wrath.
And the next day the quarrel came
which had set his feet iu paths fat-
away from that in which she had
trod for 15 years, and iu which she
had expected to tread until the end.
And she thought it all over this
morning with a little sigh here and
there.
JJer romance was not forgotten if
C7 " "
it was kept out of sight of curious
eyes.
Yesterday she had heard thnt a
new preacher wa9 coming to the
picnic. Ho was to preach his first
sermon on Sunday, and every body
said he was a "powerful preacher."
"And his name was Ashley.
"But of course it can't be him,"
she said to herself, as she clipped the
edges of her pies; "for he was one
of the wildest, most rattle-brained
fellows I ever knew, and I'm sure
there wasn't any thing about him
that could bo made into a minister.
But ho had one of the kindest hearts
in the world, and I wa9 the one to
blame."
"Some one coming here," cnlled
out Susnu, her niece, from the bed
room up-stairs.
Every thing was in baking-day
confusion, and the room wasn't
swept out yet, and she couldn't at
tend to visitors uutil her cake was
out of the oven.
Click went the gnte
I'll bo at liberty and we'll have a
good, old-fashioned visit."
"I'll come into the kitcheu and we
can talk and you can work at tho
same time," said John ; and without
waiting for any reply ho proceeded
to do so, and put himself a chair
close to tho table, where he could
watch her to the best' advantage.
For there seemed to be something
wonderfully attractive to him in
her face.
How the morning flew I It was
noon before Miss Payne knew it.
But then they had talked so busily
that they could keep no note of time.
Susan from the kitchen door, far
enough back to be out of sight of
John, aroused her by making all
sorts of mysterious signals, pointing
first at the minister nnd then to
wards the road, to which she added
a series of appalling performances
by opening and shutting her rnnuth,
which was afterwards ascertained to
be a representation in pantomime of
the way that young woman supposed
horses ate. Unable to understand
what she wanted to communicate,
Miss Payne went out- to find out
about it.
"There's his poor old horso a
standin' at the gate the whole inorn
iu'," asserted Susan, with indigna
tion, "an he a-setlin'hero an' laugh
ing. If he was a hor.se now--"
But Miss Payne didn't stop to hear
the metaphysical argument Susan
was about to announce.
"Why, John!" she said, cominjr
back into the kitchen; "don't you
know you've got a horse out there?
I'd forgotten all about it till Susan
spoke of it. Just yon fake it round
and turn it out in the pasture, and
I'll have dinner ready by the lime
you're back."
She watched him as he went down
the path, with a soft light in her
eyes and a strange happiness at her
heart. She didn't know why. She
couldn't have told if she had tried to
analyze it. It must be that she felt
the gladness, near at hand as the
trees know when spring is coming.
"I'd like to know if that man's
goin' to stay here forever?" said
Susan to the old brindle cow that
night, as she drove her up from the
pasture. "I should s'poso he'd feel
it his duty to visit other folks. 'Slid
o' that he's a sittin' rouud here, an'

Miss Payne
dusted off her Iinnd., smoothed her
ehining hair, gave her collar a twitch
and was ready to answer the vlei
tor'a knock.
Something iu the laughing eyes
which met hers ns sho opened the
door made her stnrt and turn pale.
"Hester Payne, I'm pretty sure,"
he said, crossing the threshold.
"Yes, sir," she answered, with a
little catch in her voice,"'and you"
"Don't you know me?" he cried.
"I'm John Ashley. I didn't sup
pose I'd changed so much that au
old friend wouldn't discover 6ome
familiar look about me. I should
know you anywhere."
"I'm glad to see you, John," she
said, giviug him her haud, with a
very suspicious moisture lu her eyes.
"I've been thinking of you, for they
said the new minister's name was
Ashley. It can't be that you're the
one, can it?"
"I'm the man," he answered, with
a twinkle of humor in his eye. "I
don't suppose it ssems possible to
you, or any one else that used to
know me, that I have become a min
ister, but it is so. It seems as
strango to me ns any ono else, but I
honestly believe God had a work for
roc to do, nnd I'm trying to do it as
best-1 can," he added, earnestly.
"I'm 'glad of it," she answered. "I
always said you'd steady down, but
I never thought you'd bo a minister,
John."
"That's right," he said heartily.
'.'Don't -go making me any body but
John ; I'm the same tnau you used
to know, come back . to renew old
friendships aud do the work I've
undertaken."
"I'm getting ready for a picnic,"
explained Miss Payne, "and I'm busy
just now, so. you'll have'fontertain
yourself for an hour or so till I set

whole endiirin' time, an'he aintsaid
a word about any of them things all
the other raiuistors used to, as I've
heard."
But old brindle didn't seem to be
able to enlighten Susan on any point
and that young person went to bed
feeling that ministers weren't what
they used to be.
The minister and Miss Payne sat
and talked quietly in the still twi
light. He told her all about his life
since she had known him 15 years
ngo, and how the change had come
into it which transformed him into
a minister. And then there fell n
littic silence about them which neith
er broke for a long time. By and
by he spoke.
"I don't know why I came here
first, Hester. I suppose I ought to
have gone to Sawyer's"; but I couldn't
get by here. From the time I knew
I wa3 going to be stationed over this
part I've been thinking of you and
longing'lo talk over old times with
you as I have done to-day. And
somo way it seemed to me as if God
had a plan to carry out in stationing
me over here. I don't know what
you think about it, Hester, but I be
lieve I could do belter work iu the
world if you would help me. "We've
been parted for a good many years,
but I've never loved any one else and
I never shall ; and it seemed to me
to-day that I took up lifo just where
we left it 15 years ago in this old
kitchen. I've always blamed my
self for what happened afterwards,
and I want to confess it to you now
whether you think as I do about
what 1 haee told you or whether
you don't."
"No, John, I was the one to
blame," she said. "I wa9 telling
myself that this morning, not half
an hour before you came. I saw it
all afterwards."
"Is it yes or no, Hester?" he ask
ed, tenderly. "We're old enough to
know ourselves better .than we did
then. Can you help me in my life
work without regret for what you
must give up?"'
"I will help you 1" she cried, her
whole face aglow. "I shall giyo up
nothing but loneliness, and I shall
gain you 1"
What a speech to make to a min
ister !
If Susan could have heard it she
would h?vo become an immediate
convert to the theory of total de
pravity. And to come from Miss
Payne, tool
"God bless you, Hester, and may
you never ho sorry for this," bo said,
and kissed her with a long, linger
ing kies, while tho. moonlight fell
about them like a-beaediction from
naoffan
after her investment, and finding the
condition of the herd unsatisfactory,
assumed $13,000 of liabilities and
bought out and took the manage
ment into her own hands. In a few
months the herd was in a good and
thriving condition. But nt the same-
time she found herself fiuffcrin?
from pecuniary embarrassment, and
appealed to her Eastern friends for
aid. Thoy looked upon her venture
as a visionary one, aud declined to
assist her, but advised her to give it
up, save what she could from the
wreck, and return to them. She did
not believe there was any such word
as fail, and applied herself all the
more diligently to her business. She
rode to the herd every day, except
Sundays sometimes in a buggy, bnt
generally on horseback 1G miles
each way-and gave the most min
ute instructions to her men. Her
troubles she kept to herself. Her
help or her neighbors did not know
but she had a bank to draw upon for
all the money she wanted.
"At the end of the year she sent
for the father of her late partner, and
they divided the herd equally and
settled, with a loss to her of over
.$3,000, which she paid to get the
partnership dissolved. She then
borrowed ?G,000 to enable her to
pay some small debts, make some
improvements in buildings, and start
afresh, entirely unembarrassed.
"At the present time her liabilities
are only $3,000. She has a herd of
over 1,000 head of cattle, has an
abundance of convenience for them,
and no stock farm or range within
100 miles is provided with as good
barns, sheds, corrals and ranges for
cattle. Her herd is clearing her over
$6,000 a year, and constantly increas
ing in size. At the railway station,
where she resides, she has a farm of

liny u, Home.
Hon. George Barstow gave good
advice in a speech on the subject of
"Home." He said c jry man should
own his home if he can. That phil
osophy which tells a man to drift
over this uncertain lifo without a
home of his own, is wrong. The
man who owns not his own home is
like a ship out in the open sea at
the hazard of too florin. A man
who owns his home is like a ship
that has arrived in port, and is moor
ed in a safe harbor. One man should
no more be content to live in a home
that is not his own if he can build
one than one bird should take the
risk of hatching in another one's
nest ; and, for my own part, I would
rather be able to own a cottage than
to hire a palace. I would say to
every man, buy a homo if you can,
and own it. If a wind-fall has come
to you, buy a home with it. If you
have laid up money enough by toil,
buy a home. If you have made
money in stocks, buy a home. Do
not let anybody tempt you to put
all Avour earnings back into the pool.
Take out enough to buy a home and
buy it. Pat the rest back if you'
will. Gamble on it if vou must:
Smoking: by Jtoyn.
How few persons realize that the
money spent on tobacco in this
country, would feed aud shelter
every poor family in the land; that
thousands of finer organizations
among men, awaken in middle life
to the consciousness that their brains
are being gravely affected by the uso
of tobacco, only to struggle in vain
against its fetters ; that, directly and
indirectly, tobacco hastens the death
of large numbers of persons every
year.
With these facts in viow, parents
should remember that tho habitual
use of tobacco has reached down to
mere boys, many of whom strut the
streets with cigars in their mouths,
while others think it manly to have
their sraoking-partics.
Now, excesses of every kind dur
ing the 'period of growth, smito
fearfully at the very foundations of
future health aud life.
It is well known that Germans arc
inveterate smokers. They arc often
pointed at as a proof of the harmless
ness of the habit. But a corres
pondent of the London Times af
firms that the authorities iu Germany
are taking measures to arrest the
practice among the young, on the
ground, as attested by the German
physicians, that it incapacitates them
for the defence of their country.
"Smoking," he adds, "weakens the
powers of the stomach at that im
portant crisis of development when
the largest quantities of food havo
to be assimilated to build up the
frame. It lowers the vitality of, the
heart. 3Iusclc, energy, endurance,
indeed, all that makes tho man and
the soldier, are thus at stake." Not
only pareuts, but boys themselves,
should heed this warning.
world is full of gossip h, that those
who indulge in it have nothing else
in them. They must interest them
selves iu something. They knoir
nothiug but what thev learn from
day to day iu intercourse with nnd
observation of their neighbors.
What these neighbors do, what they
say, what happens to them in their
social and business affairs, what taey
wcar these become the question
of supreme interest. The personal
and social life nround thern this U
the book under constant perusal,
and out of thi3 comes that pestifer
ous conversation which we call gos
sip. The world is full of it, and in
a million houses, all over the coun

personal affairs of their uoighbors.
V hat js the cure for gossip ? Sim
ply culture. There is a good deal
of gossip that has no malignity in
it. Good natured people talk about
their neighbors because, and only
because, they havo nothing else to
talk about.
Gossip is always a personal con
fession either of malice or imbecili
ty, and the young should not only
shun it, but by the most thorough
culture relieve thcrascJves from nil
temptation to indulge in it. It is
low, frivolous, and too often a dirty
business. There are country neigh
borhoods in which it rages liko a
pest. Churches are split in pieces
by it. Neighbors make enemies by
it for life. In many persona It de
generates into a chronic discaj
which is practically incurable. Let
the young euro it whilo they may.

JLoTiagr Home.
Nothing appears to ns so beauti
ful in human experience as the re
ciprocal affection of parents and
children especially after tho latter
havo attained maturity, and, it may
be, form new relations in life. Wo
have seen the loving and lovely
daughter, after she had become a
wife and mother, seize every oppor
tunity of viBiting the parental home,
to lavish her affectionate attention
upon her parents, and, by a thous
aud graceful and tender kindnesses,
assure them that, though she was an
idolized wife and a happy mother,
her heart still clave with every
strengthening fervor to father and
mother, who watched over her In
fancy and guided her youth. It ha
been our privilege to know such,
nnd as we have witnessed the out
pourings of love and happiness be
tween these devoted and glowing
hearts, we have felt that surely
much of heaven might be enjoyed
here if all families were equally
attached. And would that every
daughter knew what puro joy she
might create in the parental bosom
by a constant keeping alivo of the
spirit of filial devotion, and seizing
frequent opportunities to mako it
manifest In little acts of gentleness
and lore, notwithstanding the child
may have become a parent. Tho
child never grows old to a fond par
ent. It Is always the dcachlld, and
never so dear as when it Keeps sp
the childish confidence and lore of
its earliest years. GilJUltan.
JLearalac t Save.
The first thing to be learned by a
boy or young man, or anybody else
having the least ambition to become
a useful member of society, is the
habit of Baying No matter if a boy
or girl baa wealthy pares ts, each
should learn to save, if for no other
reason than that riches are well
known to "tako to themselves wings
and fly away." Few are so well-to-do
as to be snro against poverty and
wanl. The children of the wealthy
parents are often miserably poor;
while men of large means have
commenced life without other ad
vantages than habits of industry
coupled with the disposition to save.
It is especially important that the
children of people in moderate cir
cumstances aad of the por should
learn to take care of (he money they
get.
