MRS. OWENS STAIR-CARPET.
I5V MAliOAKETTK W. SNODliUASP.
'I wish Tom wouldn't bring- those
boys iuto the house,' and Irs. Owen
closed, impatiently, the book she
had been reading-. 'There they go
now over that new stair-carpet! I
must insist on his not taking them
tip to his room.'
Oh, mamma! You ought just to
see how Aunt Josie does with her
boys,' said Nannie, lifting her great
brown eyes from her dolls. 'Why,
she lets them go everywhere, and
sometimes they have suppers such
jolly times! I wish you could see
them. Maybe they might all come
and make U3 a visit. Wouldn't that
be splendid ?'
Mrs. Owen smiled faintly. Sister
.Tosia could do very differently. So
little was expected of one in her
position in society, and she had just
that much more lime to devote to
her own family. As to the boys
well, her home was one of the old
fashioned kind, aud the furniture
was not over costly nor so good
that one need be in constant tear of
spoiling it. Mrs. Owen cast a lin
gering glance over the rich folds of
the curtains, and the softly tinted
carpets with the roses strewn upon
them.
'Mother. I want my silk trimmed
with that new style of tritntninir. It
is all the rage, von know : but so
expensive. Do you think I could
have it?' and Cracie looked coax
iugly into her mother's face.
'Yes, child, I meant that yousho'd
have it, but you must have patience;
to-morrow or next day will be lime
enough, and in the meantime I will
speak to father.'
'Nothing must be denied her now,
if we can help it. It is so import
ant just at this time, when she isJ
uegiuiiing io go oui into society,'
that she should not be scrimped.'
The thin face was all aglow with
interest, transformed from its habit
ual listless expression into some
thing so very like its youthful
brightness, that Mr. Owen, as he
looked, relaxed his knitted brows,
and the request was granted.
'Our Grace is a girl to be proud
of,' he said, one evening a week
later, as lie watched her in the first
flush of her girlhood's loveliness,
daintily robed for the reception ot
her friends.
Surely, his wife had exquisite
taste. The dress was beautiful
and he moved graciously among the
smiling groups, with a cheery word
here and there, and, now and then,
an interesting story which enchain
ed them all.
'"What a happy family the Owens
are, remarked the guests, as thoy
were separating.
By the way, where was Tom this
evening? I have not seen him at
all,' said Mr. Owen, as they found
themselves again sole occupants of
the large parlors.
'"Well, really! I do not know,'
answered the" lady, drawing her soft
white shawl around her. 'Tom has
taken to staying out evenings lately.
I can't imagine why he should with
such a home,' and she glanced at the
bright blaze in the fire-place. 'Tom
is a very peculiar boy.'
'I'll manage him Panel Mr. Owen's
gray eyes snapped, as he took out
his watch. 'Nearly eleven o'clock,
aud he uot home! I'll see to this!'
'Supper for six! What is this,
Tom ?'
Mr. Owen laid the bill on his
desk, and closed the office door, one
morning.
Explain, sir!'
'All the fellows do something of
that kind, and you know mother
does uot wish me to bring them to
our house, so I had to take them
somewhere it was my turn. But I
meant no harm, sir,' and the boy's
flushed face grew cooler as he looked
his father in the eye. 'I will pay
for it; I did not mean the bill to
come to you, sir.'
'Possibly not.'
The words were cold and stinging.
'Let it uot be repeated.'
It was not.
The boy became silent and un
communicative. Always faithful and obliging in
hut father's store, kind and polite at
home, but still there was a change.
The old frankness was gone. At
table and in the family circle there
was a strange reserve. No need
now for mother to exclaim :
'Oh, Tom ; you tiro me so with
your ceaseless talking.'
No one could desire a more quiet
boy.
'Fine boy, that of yours, Mr.O wen,'
said Deacon Frost, one evening, as
they walked home from the weekly
prayer meeting. 'Fine boy, I wish
he had been with us to-night. Theso
young folks need looking after
pretty closely just the time when
they are forming habits that will
cling to them through life.'
Mr. Owen entered his house with
bowed head and thoughtful face. '
Had he been so neglectful of his
boy ?
There was no word of welcome
for him as he opened the door of the
sitting room.
There by the table sat his wife,
with a face from which all the light
had flown.
'What is it, Annie?'
Aud then, between the sobs, she
told him of the boy their boy who
had come home with eyes unnatur
ally bright, and burning cheeks;
how now, in his own room, he lay
in an intoxicated slumber.
'What can we do? What can we
do?' she moaned.
'Do! We have not been doing.
Oh, Annie, we are more to blame
than the boy,' said the poor father,
with a groan.
It was a sorrowful little gathering
around the breakfast table next
morning; and when, an hour alter
ward, Tom lay with a sick-headache,
trying to keep back the tears that
would creep from under the closed
eyelids, no one could utter a reproof.
How did it happen that aunt Josie
came that day?
Or did it happen at all? Is not
everything planned just a? is bet
for every child of the great Father?
Certain it is she came. And look
ing into her bright face tho boy
found strength to tell her all the
invitation to tho oyster Ptippor, about
the wine that followed with the
fruit and cake, how he was templed
when everyone else tasted, how he
yieltlpfl fell !
'Let him come home with me.
The change will do him good and
give him time to think!' said the
good woman, in her hopeful way, as
she talked with his mother.
f Out on the farm among the happy
workinir-tioys, a new light dawned
upon him, and he learned that here
and there, life will bo pure and
great, or hopeless and degraded, as
n-o run bo it
'Thnnina' his mnllior oniil wlion
he had been home a few days, I
want you to invite your friends in,
whenever you feel like it. I'll be
glad to sec them.'
'Yes, my boy,' said his father,
'and when you want any of the fel
lows to conic in and spend an even
ing, you will find a good fire in the
sitting-room, across the hall. You
may have it all to yourselves; the
piano is there, and (Jracie will come
in and play for you, and sometimes
we will have refreshments.'
Tom's voice was huky, and the
thanks came indistinctly, but they
were sincere and deep.
The boy was very choice of the
associates whom he would' bring
home and introduce to his own
mother aud sister. Such a mother
and sister how they entered into
all his plans however trivial.
So a strong cord of sympathy
bound them each to the other, aud
through the temptations of hi.s early
years he was held firm by this
anchor of home aud a strong faith
in God.
A Toiicliiiipr lEoiiiuiicc.
A number of years ago some
miners in Wales, in exploring an old
pit that had long been closed, found
the body of a young man dressed iu
a fashion long out of date. The
peculiar action of the air of the mine
was such as to preserve the body so
periectly that it appeared asleep
rather than dead. The miners were
ptrzlcd at the circumstance; no one
in the district had been missed
within their remembrance, aud at
last it was resolved to bring in the
oldest inhabitant an old lady long
past her 8Uth year, who had lived
single in the village the whole of her
life. On being taken into the pres
ence of the body a very bI range
scene occurred. The old lady fell on
the corpse, kissed it, and addressed
it by every term of endearment
spoken in the language of a by-gone
generation. He was her ouly love,
she had waited for him during her
long life. She knew he had not
forsaken her. The old lady and the
young man had been betrothed sixty
years before. The lover had disap
peared mysteriously, and she had
kept faith during the long interval.
Time had stood still with the young
man, but had left its mark on the
woman. The miners were a rough
set, but very gently and with tearful
eyes they removed the old lady to
her house, and that night her faith
ful spirit rejoined that of her long
lost lover.
Church Howe, that pink of gran
gers and champion aiiti-monopolit,
took it upon himself to keep Gen
eral MclJride out of the Lincoln
postoflicc because McBride'a paper
helped to defeat Church for speaker
last winter. Senator Van Wyck
was appealed to by the Nemaha
acrobat upon the score of great ser
vices rendered, but tho senator in
clined to the opinion that the states
man from Nemaha was poking his
nose into the wrong closet. O. T.ec.
Till: TAHI.IX 'l'l'IO'EIK
A lluflciimu -ivlio lmlrtiiml
Ihc Kulexoi'Tiirlir.
A comuiunistic person identified
with the dangerous classes of the
Comstock aud notorious for his dis
regard of truth and contempt for
vested rights, has just returned from
a viit to San Francisco. This morn
ing ho endangered the good iiameol
the Chronicle by entering its edito
rial room. The nihilist declared that
he had a good thing ou San ford and
Stevo Gage,' but he supposed the
Chronicle, like the rest of the cor
rupt and time-serving press, would
be afraid to publish it.
'Tell your story,' said the editor
with dignity, and gazing inquiringly
at the boot of the socialist, which
was resting upon the editorial table.
The boot remained there, however,
while the following ridiculous nar
rative was delivered:
It's line weather at the bay and
everybody who can afford it takes
a spin occasionally out of the dust
and heat. Last Saturday Stanford
and Gage, were walking along
Kearney street, and when thpy got
to the corner of Bush the Governor
took oil' his hat, wiped his brow and
remarked :
'Steve, it's to hot for anything.
What do you say to a breath ol fie-di
air i
'Have we time?' inquired Mr.
Gage, pulling out his- watch. So
did the Governor, who replied:
'There isn't anything very pres
sing for a couple of hours, I gues.
and wo may as well take a spin out
to the park. It isn't worth while to
have out my horses. Let's take a
hack, and then we can enjoy a walk
when we get there. It'll be better
than ridding around the drives.'
So they got into a coupe aud were
driven out to Golden Gate Park.
At the cntrancu the Governor and
Gajre alighted.
' What's the fare? ' asked the gov
ernor. The driver, a retired pri.e fighter,
rcpled :
' On'y Slf) guv'ntir.'
'What ! ' yelled Sanford and Gage
in the same breath.
' Fifteen dollars,' rcpoatcd cabby,
unbuttoning his coat aud spitting ou
his band.
' Hut,' my good man, protested the
governor, 'such a charge is exorbi
tant. The law confines you to a cer
tain price tor your services and you
can be arrested and punished for
such a violation of the ordinance.'
'Hang the law! 'growled cabby.
' My money bought and paid for this
hack an' bosses 'an tho essence of
ownership is control.'
Ileni !'" coughed the governor,
looking slyly at Steve, who began
to trrin. 'That's all well enough
when applied to my raiIroads,but
but cr now if you charge
us fifteen dollars to bring us to
the park, what on earth would
you charge us to take us to the Clin"
House?'
'Five dollars.'
'From here?'
'No; from the city.'
'But it's twice the distance!'
'Yes, but its a competitive point.
Flteen to the park, five to the Clifl".
No hoggin' about it. Through rales
to the Clifl", local rates back to the
park added just as you fellows do
when you charge f'lOO for drawing
a carload of stiill' from New York
to 'Frisco, and make it S00 if you
drop tho cur at Klko, about ;"00
miles nearer New York.'
It was Stcve'n turn to cough and
the governor's to grin.'
Well,' said the governor with a
sigh, 'take us to the Cliff.'
At the Clifl" House tho governor
aud Stephen drank their beer and
smoked a cigar, and listened to the
barking of the seals, and filled their
lungs with the seabreeze. Suddenly
Sieve clapped himself on the leg aud
cried out :
'By Jove, governor! I forgot
that lot of coal of Smith's that the
sheriff is to sell at '. o'clock. It's 1
now. If wo miss that a chance to
save at least a thousand dollars will
be gone.'
'Good heavens!' cried the gov
ernor snatching out his watch, 'let'
hurry back at one. Driver! Oh,
driver!'
'II pre, sir,' answered cabby, who
had been leaning over tho balcony
parapet within ear phot, 'here, sir.'
'We want to return to town im
mediately,' cried Mr. Gage.
'Ya-as, I s'po-c so,' said cabby,
slowly chewing a straw, 'hot I'll
take my pay in advance, if it's all
the same to you, gents.'
The Governor growled somewhat
between his teeth and tendered ?5.
' 'Taint enough,', said cabby, con
temptuously. 'In heaven's name, how far will
your extortion go ? ' snorted the gov
ernor. 'How much do you want?'
'Five httudred more,' caraly re

repeated cabby.
'How sir er damme, sir! how
do you dare ask eucb a price for
driving two gentleman four or live
miles?' spurted the governor.
'I bases my charge on what the
traflic will bear,' replied the hack
man with a grin. 'If tators ia sellia'
iu Los Angeles for fifty cents a
bushel and at $3 a bushel atTuckson,
you fellows charge the poor devil of
a rancher $2 50 a bushel to pack bi
tatcrs to Tnckson and gobble all tho
profit. Now, I aiu't so hoggish as
that. I heerd Mr. Gage say that
if he could get iuto town by '.) o'clock
he could make a thousand dollars.
As there ain't no other back here,
I'm as a good a monopoly for tho

waul all you can umko usin' my
hack. I'm willin' to get along with

and Steve emptied their pockets and
counted out the money.

you fellows do da' in an' day out
an have been doiu' 'or years au'
made your millions by it. I happen
to be able to give you a small dosa
of yor own medicine for wuust, an'
I don't waul you to do no kickiu'
I know you kin semi nie to jail for

ciples, but if you jails me I'll have
to have yer blood when I get out,

Iowti Creamery Itutter.
As many of our lady farmer read
ers would like to get the highest
prices for butter, and as they cannot
command them unless they have
good butter for sale, we give the
following method of makiDg the
same. It may be well, also, for the
good wife to urge the husband to
prepare a good milch house, with
the proper facilities for handling the
milk and butter. Iowa creamery
butter ranks among the very be9t.
The following statement is given by
J. B. Kose of DeWitt, Iowa, con
cerning a premium lot, of his mako:
"This butter was manufactured in
tho Glen Hose creamery : The milk
was received from about forty dai
ries of native cows (about 'lOO) and
put iuto cheese vats iu the morning,
then heated to eighty-six degrees (aa
the milk was to be made into cheese
the same afternoon); six hours after
wards it was skimmed and the
cream placed iu tin pails or cans,
surrounded by water of about sixty
degrees temperature, where it re
mained twenty-four hours, or uutil
it (the cream) became slightly acid ;
then churned iu a square box churn
until the butter globules became
about the size of buckshot ; the but
termilk was then drawn and the
butter rinsed iu the churn with cold
water, placed on a worker, salted
(34 ounces per pound), lightly work
ed, put away for eighteen or twenty
hours, then worked agaiu and pack
ed iu tubs for market."
The tramp nuisance shonld be
looked into a little more seriously
than heretofore. Laziness is more
than a vice it is a crime and it
should be, where its manifestation,
is plain, punished as any other crime.
The confirmed professional tramp,
who will not work, but begs and
steals aud sleeps at the expense of
his fellow man, should be placed on
the same footing as the man who
steals a horse. Long practice of
petty cunning makes this a danger
ous class, and it should be suppress

Abraham Lincoln was once called
upon to address some young people.
He responded to thft call, but said
he would not attempt to give them
an addrens, but rather a short ser
mon. The sermon wa.s as follows:
"Don't swear, don't gamble, dou't
lie, don't cheat, don't steal, don't
drink, don't smoke, don't chew;
love God and man, and be happy."
'Whon a stranger treats mo with
want of proper respect," said a phil
osophic poor man, "I comfort my
self with the reflection that it is not
myself he slights but my old shabby
coat, and hat, which to say the truth
has no particular claims to admira
tion. So if my hat aud coat choose
to fret about it, let them, it is noth-
ing to me.
