tWelI, girlasnltl my Uncle Barna
bus, 'nnd now what do you propose
to do about it?'
We sat around the fire lila dis
consolate semi-circle that dreary,
drizzling May nigh!, when the rain
pattered against the window panes,
and the poor liltle daflbdilB in the
bordei-3 shook and shivered a3 if
they would fain hide their golden
heads once more in the mother soil.
My mother, Eleanor and I. The
first pale and pretty, and silver hair
ed with the widow's cap, aud her
dress of black bombazine and crape ;
the sweetest looking old ladv, I
think, I ever saw. Eleanor sat be
side her, looking, as she always did,
'like a princess, with largo dark eyes,
Diana-like features, and hair twisted
in a sort of coronal around her
queenly head. While I, plain, home
spun Susannah commonly called
'for short Susy crouched upon a
foot-stool in the corner, my elbows
u my Mit'i's jw.u my cnin m my
hand.
Uncle Unrnnbtis Hcrkelin sat in the
middle of the circle, erect, stifl' and
rather grim, lie was stout and
short with a grizzled mustache, a
little round, btld spot on the crown
of his head, and two glittering black
eyes that were always sending the
dusky lightnings in the direction
least expected. Uncle Rirnabus was
rich, and we were poor. Uncle
Rarnabus was wise in the ways of
the world, and we were inexperi
enced, l.'ncle IlnrunbtH was pros
perous in all he did; while if there
was a bad bargain to be made wo
were pretty sure to be the ones to
make it. Consequently, and as a
matter of course, wo looked up to
Uncle Ihmiahus, and revereuced his
opinions.
'What do we propose to do about
it?' Eleanor slowly repealed, lifting
her beautiful jetty brows.
Tes, that's exactly it said my
mother, nervously ; 'because, lCoberl i
Harnabus, we don't pretend to be
business women, and it is certain
that wc cannot live comfortably on
our present iucome. Something has
surely sot to be done.'
And then my mother leaned back
in her chair with a troubled face.
'Yes,' said Uncle Harnabus, '.some
thing ha got to be done I But
who's to do it?'
And another dead silence suc
ceeded. 'I suppose you girls are educated,'
said Uncle Barnabus. 'I know I
found enough old school bills when
I was looking over my brother's
papers.'
'Ot course,' said my mother, with
evident pride; 'their education has
been most expensive. Music, draw
ing, use of globes.'
Yes, yes, of course,' interrupted
Uncle Barnabus. 'But is it practical ?
Can they teach?'
Eleanor looked dubious. I was
quito suro I could not. Madame
Lenoir, among all her list of accom
plishments, had not included the art
of practical tuition.
'Humph ."grunted Uncle Barnabus.
'A qneer thing this modern idea of
education. Well, if you can't teach
you can surely do something! What
do you say, Eleanor, to a situation ?'
'A situation?'
The cojor fluttered in Eleanor's
cheeks like- pink and white applo
blossoms.
I spoke plain enough, didn't I?'
said Uncle Barnabus, dryly. 'Yes,
a situation."
'What sort of situation, Uncle
Barnabus?'
'Well, 1 can hardly say. Part
servant, part companion to an elder
ly lady!' exclaimed the old gen
tleman. 'O, Uncle Barnabus, I couldn't
do that.'
'Not do it? Andwhynoi?'
'It' too natch--too much,' whis
pered Eleanor, losing her real dig
nity in the presence of the emerg
ency, 'like going ont to service.'
'And that is precisely what it isP
retorted Uncle Barnabna, noddin"
his head. 'Service? Why, wc are
all otit at service in one way or
another, in this world.'
'Oh, yes, I know,' faltered poor
Eleanor, who between her distaste
for the proposed plan, and her anx
iety not to offend Uncle Barnabus
Berkeline, didn't know what to say.
'But I I've always been educated to
be a lady?'"
'So you won't take tho situation,
eh ?' said Uncle Barnabna, staring np
at a wishy-washy little water color
drawing of Cupid and Psyche, an
-'exhibition piece' of poor Eleanor's
which hung above the chimney
piece. 'I couldn't indeed, sir.'
'Wages twenty-five dollars a
month,' mechanically repeated Uncle
Barnabus, as if he were saying off a
lesson. 'Drive out in a carriage
every day with the missus, cat and
canary to take care of, modern house
and all its improvements. Sunday I
ray
afternoon to yourself,and two weeks
spring and fall to visit your mother.'
'No, Uncle Barnabus, no,' said
Eleanor, with a little shudder. 'I
am a true Berkeline, and I cannot
stoop to menial dulled
Uncle Barnabus gave such a pro
longed sniff as to suggest the idea of
a very bad cold in the head, indeed
bony,' said he. 'Heaven helps
those who help themselves, and you
can't expect me to be any more lib
eral minded than, heaven. Slater
Rachel to my mother 'what do
you say ?'
My mother drew her pretty litllo
figure up a trifle more erect than
usual.
'I think my daughter Eleanor is
quite right said she. 'The Berke
lines have all been ladies
I had sat quite Bilcut, still with my
chin in my hands, during all this
family, discussion ; but now I rose
up and came creeping to Uncle
Banmbus's side.
Well, little Susy said the old
gentleman, laying his hand kindly
on my wrist, 'what is it?'
'If you please, Uncle Barnabus
said I with a rapidly throbbing
heart, 'I would like to take the
situation
'Bravo !' cried Uncle Barnabna
'My dear child!' exclaimed
mother.
'Susannah!' uttered Eleanor, in
accent. by no means laudatory.
'Yea said I. 'Twenty-five dol
lars a month is a great deal of mon
ey, and I was never afraid ot work.
I think I will go to the old lady,
Uncle Barnabus. I am sure I can
send home at least twenty dollars n
month to mother and Eleanor, and
then tho two weeks, .spring and fall,
would be so nice! Please, Uncle
Barnabus, I'll go back with you
when you go. What is the did
lady's name ?'
Her name! said Uucle Barnabus.
'Didn't I tell you? It's Prudence
Mrs. Prudence
What a nice name!' said I. I
know I shall like her
Well, r think you will said Uncle
Barnabus, looking kindly at me.
And I think nhe will like you. It
is a bargain for the niue o'clock
train to-morrow morning!'
Yes I answered stoutly, taking
care not to look in the direction of
my mother and Eleanor.
You are the most sensible of tho
lot said Uncle Barnabus, approv
ingly. But after he had gone to bed in the
best chamber, where the ruflled pil
low cases were, and the chintz cush
ioned easy chair, the full strength of
wiu Hiiimy tongue uroice on my
devoted head.
'I can't help if qnoth I, holding
valiantly to my colors. 'We can't
starve. Some of us have got to do
something. And you can live very
nicely on twenty dollars a month
That is true sighed my mother,
from behind her black bordered
handkerchief. 'But I never thought
to see a daughter of mine going out
to service
We took a carriage at the depot
and drove through so many streets
that my head sprung around and
around like a teetotum before we
stopped at a pretty brown stone
mansion it looked like a palace to
my unaccustomed eyes and Uncle
Barnabus helped me out.
Here is where Mrs. Prudence
lives said he with a chuckle.
A neat little maid, with a frilled
white apron and rose-colored rib
bons in her hair, opened the door
with a courtesy, aud I was conduct
ed into an elegant apartment, all
gilding, exotics and blue satin dam
ask, when a plump old lady, dressed
in black silk, with tho loveliest Val
enciennes lace at the throat and
wrists, came smiling forward, like
a 9ixty year old sunbeam.
So you've come back, Barnabus.
have you she said. 'And havo
brought one of the dear girla with
you. Come nnd kiss me, my dear
Yes, Susy, kiss your aunt said
Uncle Barnabus, flinging his hat one
way, and his gloves another, as he
sat complacently down on the sofa.
'My aunt!' I echoed.
'Why, of course said the plump
old lady. 'Don't you know? I'm
your Aunt Prudence
'But I thought gasped I, In be
wilderment, 'that I waB going to a
situation?'
Well, so yon are retorted Uucle
Barnabus. 'The situation of adopt
ed daughter in my family. Twcnty
tlvo dollars a month pocket money
the care of Aunt Prudence' cat and
canary. And to make yourself gen
erally useful
'Oh, uncle I cried, 'Eleanor wo'd
have been so glad to come If she had
known it
'Fiddle-strings and little flshei!'
illogically responded my Uncle
Barnabus. 'I've no patience with a
girl that's too fine to work. Eleanor
had the situation offered her and
chose to decline. Yon decided to
come, audhore you stay ! Blng the
bell, Prue, and order tea, for I am as
hungry as a hunter, and I dare say
little Susy here would relish a cup
of teal'
And tbid was the way I drifted
into my luxurious home. Eleanor
in the country cottage envies me
bitterly, for she had all the tastes
which wealth and a metropolitan
home can gratify. But Uncle Bar
nabus will not hear of my exchang
ing with her.
But he lets me send them liberal
presents every month aud so I am
happy.

The woman who boasts of her
excessive neatness is not the most
commendable of housewives. We
have little confidence in that ncat
nesa which is practiced with a flour
ish of trumpets. We have had
occasion to know that a display, an
effort to call attention of everyone
to wonderful labors and surpassing
neatness resulting therefrom, is very
likely to be fouud after all not more
than an outside show. The work
that is too loudly blazoned will sel
dom bear a rigid examination. Thai
which Is done thoroughly, but qui
etly, is the work that has unassaila
ble foundations, and is perfectly
finished in every department. With
the pleasant consciousness that
everything in her house will bear
examination, the mistress of the
family need have no fears. Guest
Lwho may come to her unexpectedly
will not disturb herequanimity. She
i well assured that the home ma
chinery id in perfect working order,
that there need be no uneasiness or
excitement. She knows her table,
however simply provided, will be
neat, and the food which is to be set
before her husband will be the besl
she can afford. What is good
enough for him who furnishes the
means of providing is good enough
for any guest, however honorod.
Unexpected guests may increase the
labor, but not materially; and the

is made into forty postals. Three
presses are kept going night and

The new Catling gnu, recently
exhibited al the works of ir. W.
Armstrong, throws all the most ter
rible and deadly weapons of war
completely in the shade. It is ca
pable of firing a thousand shots per
minutoand killing a man on a horse
at a milo raiige. It is compact, can
be taken to pieces and easily carried
about, can be applied to military
and naval use, and the mechanism
i3 simplicity itself; the revolving
band has two compartments, Into
which, as thoy whirl round, metal
cartridges drcp from a tall, oblong
case fixed over the ceutre of the
barrel. At each tnru of the handle
ten shots are fired, and their disper
sion is accomplished by a sliding
apparatus. The size of shot in dif
ferent caliber guns rauges from
muskeLballs to half pounders. By
its use three men can do tho work
of three hundred. A quarter of a
million dollars has been spent to
perfect the gun, which is now de

Dull, depressing, dingy days pro
duce dispiriting reflections and
gloomy thoughts, and small wonder
when we remember that the mind ia
not only a motive, bnt a receptive
organ, and that all the impressions it
receives from without reach it
through tho medium of senses which
are directly dependent ou tho con
dition of light and atmosphere for
their action, and therefore Imme
diately influenced by tho "surround
ing conditions. It is a common
sense inference that If the impres
sions from without reach Ihe mind
through imperfectly-acting organs
of sense, and those impressions are
themselves set in a minor cstbctic
key of color, sound, and general
qualities, the mind must be what ia
called "moody." It is not the habit
of sensible people to make sufficient
allowance for this rationale of dull
ness and subjective weakness. Some
persons arc more dependent on ex
ternal circumstances and conditions
for their energies or the stimulus
that converts potential kinetic forces
than others; but all feel the influ
ence of the world without, and to
this influence the sick and the weak
are especially responsive. Hence
the varying tomperaments of mind
changing with the weather, the out
look, aud the wind.
Corn is an excellent feed for
horses to work on ; perhapa not so
good for fast driving. Hones are
more quiet aud tractable on corn
than with any other grain, and will
do more hard pulling with less loss
in condition. Oats make a horse
aprighUy and active, corn may make
a horse dull and slow, but strong.
For colts, wheat bran should be
mixed with the corn ; it will be
lighter and less heating.

Hon. A. S. Paddock is certainly
entitled to Ihe kind regards of every
citizen of Nebraska. He has been
untiring in his efforts, in and ont of
the senate, in securing such legisla
tion as wft3 most needed by the
pioneer of the west, and has succeed
ed, almost invariably, in what he has
undertaken. He is a man of the
people, thoroughly conversant with
the wants aud needs of our citizens.
Whether Hon. A. S. Paddock shall
be his own successor, or not, those
opposing him should be candid and
generous enough to award him the
credit he has merited by reason of
his faithful and unremitting Ubora
iu behalf of the entire state, and not
seek to defeat his re-election for
personal reasons alone. We believe
him to be capable aud honest, and
one among Nebraska's truest frienda
and for this reason we regard all
attempts to pull him down by false
or untrue accusations as wrong aud
unjust. Kearney Press.
