''Sixty dollars and I've earned it, mercy knows!" i And.. Hiss Merriweatherjrlanceddown at the little heap of money, lying upon the whitelv-sooured table, in a retro- apecave manner. "Just to think of the batch1 of tur keys Tve ro-ie pampered them up as if they were babies, too. Yes. I do say I've earned it welL" ' And ou omrht to put it in the bank. and it will accumulate interest." Miss Prue's sister. Mrs. Potter, a lit tle, wilted-looking woman, with a small nub of dusty, flaxen hair pinn-d tightly at the back of her 1 e ' wo manu facturing pr serv- .r brass ket tle, awnns: over tne blaze in the nre nlace, hail one single idea of solid com fort money at interest. " Banks ain't alwavs safe." remarked Miss Pnie. half to herself; "and I don't see the use of money, either, if you keep it alway in a bank, so as you csn't get it if j'ou want to. I reckon I'll have some good out of this, anyhow. I'm going to jrive a" "A party T" screamed Meg Potter, a bouncing, " black-eyed girl" in a red jacket, who was watering a thrifty crtwus that dwelt in an ancient coffee boiler in the kitchen window. "Oh, yea, do. aunt Prue! and I'll help you to make the cakes, and we'll invite tho'Se charming Thompsons that have just come from the city, and" "No, we wont," said Miss Prue. de cisively. " It amt a-goin to be no such affair; "and I tell you. once for all. it's only go.ng to be a party for poor folks those that don' t have turkeys or plum pudding. Tm going to search round in ail the highways and byways for the poorest and most m'serabie. and make them all come: and I'm gohur to give them one good feed of frosted pound cake, and lemon pies, and boned-turkey, and currant jelly, and other delicacies." Nonsense!" grumbled Meg, thump ing her watering-pot down with empha sis, " that won't be nice." " Goodness gracious !" groaned Mrs. Potter, "you always was queer. Prue Marriweather; but this beats all. They'll most likely get ill. and blame you for it. and call you names, and your money will all be wasted, when you might save is up. If you're afraid of a bank, lend it out" I'm going to." interrupted Miss Prue. " Whosoever srveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord.' Tmgoina: to lend this much to the Lord, anyway?' "But you won't get no interest." mourned her sister, stirring up her pre serves with much dejection. " I ain't afraid of getting cheated, anyhow." said Miss Prue, dryly. And as there was no hope whatever of persuading her to change her mind, her sister and niece were constrained to make the best of it and help along with the preparations. "It looks as if you were cookingvom wedding dinner, Prue Merriweatner," tittered"Miss Jemima Jonquil, appear ing in the doorway with a purple calico apron pinned over her head, and glanc ing critically at the row of pies upon the cupboard, beside which stood a great cake studded with raisins and citron. "I come to fetch yournattern back, and smelling nutmegs and things here, I come this way." Miss Jonquil was fat and fair, and had a softly-insinuating manner and light gray eyes. "Dear me," she continued, sliding in and plumping herself into a cEair by the fire, "if it ain't this very day ten years ago that you was cooking things just lik"e you "are now. because you thought Jim Griggs would be back next day. We all tola yon not to put faith in his promising that it was quite likely he wouidn t come, he was always so careless; but you was so headstrong you would prepare for him, and have a par ty to welcome him anyhow. I suppose you thought ft might be your wedding day if he took a notion to suggest it for I suppose he hadu't spoke already." You needn't bother yourself about whether he had or not." said Miss Prue, nushing. " He didn't come, so I hope you are'sarisiied.1 " O. now. Prue," said Mi Jemima, reproachfully, " you know I was awfully sorry when lie didn't come, you looked so dL?tres-ed. and I pitied you ever since. You seemed as though vou thought such a lot of Jim. If he had only returned you might have been Mrs. Griggs all this time. He must be married long ago, and I suppose you don't expect ever to be nothing but" an old maid now." Miss Jonquil, beinr fully six months younger than Miss Merriweather, could afford this taunt. "I don't expect anything only what Providence sends,"' "said " Mips" Prue. composedly, setting a plate of tarts in the window to cooL A great fire roared in Miss Merri weather's parlor the next day. and the strange guests were soon assembled, enjoying the novelty and exchanging greetings, comments and criticisms." " Dear me." said an old lady in a linsey shawl, who earned a scanty living by knitting socks, "if there ain't Jane Higgs. and looking as if she thought she was as good as anybody." " And just see "old Daddy Skifkins, , with his wall-eyes and bristles! I know he'll spoil my appetite." remarked Mrs. ' Baker, who was almost helples with : dropsy. " I do think he might ha-e sense enough to stay away." But Daddy Skifkins. far from sus pecting himself of being an object of aversion, was bent on making himself agreeable to all, and trotted about from , the fire to the dining-room door with f gleeful exclamations of '-Crikey, what a joilv fire! She's an angeL Miss Prue is! 'inere's a turkey bigger than a j waah-tub. Bless her heart! don't it : just make a fellow feel like iroinz to ' church? What a cake! Aint it a screamer?" etc, until Mrs. Baker re quested him to shut his mouth and not make a fool of himplf MLu Prue felt that she had an ample reward inthehappinessshe had the means f oi" bestowing upon these poor creatures. xto wsose lives so law such gleams as flats had fallen. "If people would only seek happinesa in this manner they would find it often er." she thought. Meg, who was helping her aunt lay the table, found the affair rather an in interesting experiment, and even Mrs. Potter conceded that lending to the Lord was not a bad investment. Miss Merriweather was just finishing off her table arrangements with a grea: glass dish of oranies. when Daddy Skif sins came skipping out. in much excite ment. "Mis3 Prue," he exclaimed, "there's a fellow outside says can he come m, because it is snowinrr very fast? And Mrs. Baker and Granny Larkins says he shan't come in; but" it seems rather rough on a fellow that he has no place to go to, and I don't think he has, and" "Of course he can come in." said Miss Prue. settling the last orange. " Wait ril let hinfin myselL" As she opened the door a tall form in a rough gray overcoat, all dappled with snowr walked in. "Prue!" exclaimed a deep voice just a little tremulous. And without ft her notice the tall and saucy stranger gave Miss Prue a very snowv hur. "Jim Jim Grggs is itreallvyou?" cried Miss Prue, returning the htiir. in the face of all the guests, who had trooped into the halL with Mrs. Potter andileg close behind. "It's Jim Griggs and nobody else," returned the stranger cheerily. " And every year for the past ten it's been mr intention to come home on this very day of this very month, because it's the anniversary of that day I promised to come, when I sot all "but killed and robbed afterwaras. and when I got into a traveling condition, come oack I wouldn't, with never a penny, when I had made a fortune: and I vowed a vow not to come till I had it back which I've done at last and to come this nisht when I did. Letters we poor wfetche couldn't send oftener than once in six months, and then they most ly went astray; so I wouldn't risk it, not being any hand to write anyway, and I always said next year I'll go sure. I knew you'd wait for me. Prue. my darling, and here vou are. with every thinir and everybody to welcome back the prodisaL" Mr. Griggs finished his explanation before the" runteou tire, with Daddy Skifkin- revolving amund him in a per fect ecstasy, amf everybody talking at once. Miss Prue took the opportunity to in dulge in a thank, ul little cry behind the dintng-room door. But it somehow happened that while the gie-ts were enjoying their banquet for which Mrs. Baker's appetite was not found to be eriously impaired by Daddv snifkins pre-ene Mr. Griir persuaded Miss Prue to take a little walk with him as far as the nvnister'a residence. " It apDears like it was her weddinsr dinner she was cooking, after alL" aid Mis Jonquil, when she heard the nev". " But. law sakes!" she addeL with a titter, "it wasn't a very stylish affair. I wouldn't have such a wediiimr-" Which remark did not trouble the Iato Miss Merriweather in the least. How Shall Thin Pa)ple Become Plump! But for one fat person, there are. es pecially in New England, a dozen lean ones. Here comes a. young woman o; twenty-five, who looks as thomrlj she were thirty-five, and the prematurely o'd look come-; from this clinsrinj of the skin to the hones. See how Eollow he? temples and cheeks are. Catimr her eye about the office to sea that nobody overhears, she says: "Doctor, what can be done for thesv dry bones? Why, I can harily make a shadow: and while I ought to be plumn at twenty (which she desires me to un derstand is her are), here I am looking like an old grandmother. Can any thins be done for these crow" feet about my eyes, anil these scrawny collar bones?" " WelL this is curious: a woman in just the opposite condition has thi mo ment left. he is carrying ninety pounds too much flesh. That make-, her miserable. Now van have not enough by twenty-five pounds, and that makes vou miserable. I have prescribed for her. and if she follow the prescription, in six months she will lose her extra pounds. If you have no disease, but aimplv a lack of fat, I am sure I shall be able to prescribe for you. so that the desired twenty-five pounds or more will come, in about the same length ol time." " I am perfectly well, and I am stromr. too. only I am such a skeleton."' " Let me question you a little. What time do you go to bed?" " Generally about eleven or half-pat eleven." " This must be changed. Instead ot goins to bed at eleven or half-past elev en, if you are really in earnest about getting a plump, youthful appearance, you must go to oed" at half-past ei:rht or nine o'clock. With a fresh, plump, youthful personnel, a . njrle hour in any company will gratify you ami your friends more than a dozen ninht. with this fagged and old look. So o to bed at half-past eight or nine o'clock, and don't be in a hurry about srtinz up in the morning. On goins to bed and on getting up in the morning drink as much cold water as you can swallow. Soon you will learn to drink two tumbler! and some persons may learn to drink still more. Drink all that yonrtoniach will bear. Spend a good deal of time m the open air, without hard exerci-e bit expoed to the sun and fresh air. If practicable ride in a carriasre'some hour every day. Remain out enonirh to sive you a good appetite, but don't work hard enough to produce exces-ive per spiration. Eat a great deal of oat ni-il porridge, cracked wheat. Graham mu-Ji. baked sweet apples, roasted and broiled beef, though the vegetable part i more fattening Ihan the animal part. Lie down an hour in the middle of the day, just before you take your dinner, to rest, and, if possible, take a little nap. Cultivate jolly people. 'Laugh and grow fat' rests upon a ound physical basis. A pleasant How of social spirits is a great promoter of digestion. There, now go home, keep your skin clean. . sleep in the room where the sun shine-;. ' keep everything sweet, and clean, ani , fresh about your bed. sleep nine, it possible ten hours in the twenty-four, eat as I have told you. cultivate the , jolly spirit, and in six months you will be as plump as even vour lover could wish.,f ' ! My prescription for the fat lady was, keep your eyes open ami your mouth ihut. My prescription for you is, &vp your eyes snut atul your mouth open.1r.

Chicago Tribune. The Reoent Auroral Display. The magnificent auroral display of Sunday nibrht. which wa een over a large part of the continent, has scarcely a parallel in the history of the oldest in habitant. Nearer the pU there is not seldom a gorgeous di-play of auroral grandeur; but in this climate one seldom sees anything of the kind which more nearly resembles that of Sunday nisrhc than the shadow reemble the object that casts it. We certainly have not had one so grand since the great fire. The question was asked ye-teniay by thousands: "What is it?" Phy-ictst have found it difficult to define or e c plain. But they now generally arree that the aurora is an electrical phenom enon. That this is corrrect receives positive proof from the disturbance in the lines of telegraphic communication during the display. In some eases the wiresactually worked without the aid of the usual batteries, and even reversed their action. The electrician state that it was the greatest electrical storm ex perienced in many years, and the great est ever known unaccompanied brother storm. Probably the mo$t interesting point in connection with the aurora is the growing certitude that it is closely associated with the phenomena of solar eruption. The aurora are known to be most frequent and most brilliant when the sun's surface is mot violently agitated: and it seems provable that the storm on the sun causes the electrical storm here, of which the aunra N one form of maife-tation. It is well known that we are now near the maximum point in the eleven (ll-l) year cycle of un spot activity, the spo bein: now larsre and numerous, it is n-t at preent known that there was an" particular spasm of activity on the solar surface during last Sunday. Prof. Youmr. of Princeton, did not make any speei d ob servation of the sun on that day. The big telescope of the Dearborn Oberva tory was turned upon him. but did not show anything widely different from the appearance of a short rime previouslv. There was. however, ample time for a storm to brew on the sun during the twelve hours that elap-ed between the obervat,on and the display. The aurora testifies rather forcibly to the existence of an atmopher"e to the earth far ouside the lim:t uually asMirned to it by text book writers. The display or Sunday night could scarcely have been observed as it was had it not ex tended at least 150 miles ahove the earth's surface: and it is scan-ely pos sible to conceive that the phenomenon is not one of electrical excitation among air particles at that ditance from the sea level.

A few dny- aero a middle-aired ireutle man. who formerly lived in this city, re turned after an absence of two years, and in duty bound called upm a num ber of hi former acquain'an-es. He stepped i-nto the store of a well-known trader and was familiarly and cordially greeted, and after a -hort chat he aid: "I have met with a sad bereavement lately."

Here is an obituary which the editor of the Blank wrote.", and he pulled from his pocket a newspaper, and unfolding it. pointed to a veritable obituary. " I added a few lines." he continued. - for she was a srood woman, and smith's obituary doe-her no more than jutice." "I presume you are right." -aid the trader, "and the los of ones wife is in deed a bereavement. You have the sympathy, undoubtedly, of all your friends." "Yes. but it is poor consola tion, after all." said the widower, with a solemn visage. Finally the subjeca was changed to one cf a more cheerful character, and after a few moments' talk the trader said: " But what, mav I ask. ha3 brought you back to Lowell?" The stranger "didn't answer heartilv ; but after a moment he replied: " WelL to tell the truth, friend. I am kinder looking round for another wife!" . laicdl (Joii) Mail i X Tear-Compelllnjf Scene in the Crim i inal Court. Several days ago. when Larry Mnrry. the accomplished burglar, was brought before Judge Rogers and entenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary, his companion in crime. James Rice, suc ceeded in having sentence in his case deferred, in order that he might bring forward witneses. to prove his previous good character. Yesterday was the day allotted for the final hearing in his case, and when Rice wa.- brought into court his wife and two children, one a bright little boy of four years, and the other a babe almost ia arms, were present. At sight of his father the little fellow clapped his hanil gleefully, and crying " O papa!" ran to clasp him about the knees. He was so overjoyed to see his papa once aaia that it was with diffi culty the father could restrain hi ca resses. The wife and the babe. too. put in so pitiful a plea for the culprit that, had the appearance been before a jury, it would have taken considerable evi dence to overcome the sympathy which would have gone cut to this unfortunate famdy group. The prisoner witness as to charac ter, reputable-looking enough in him self, took the stand and swore that Rice had always borne an excellent character prior to leaving St. Loui a few months ago. Rice then took the stand in his own behalf. He was the foreman in a shop in St. Louis, and was doing well wh-n Murry came to work in the same shop. Within six months they became chums. Murry was wild and reckless, and lost his situation. He then interested him self in a criminal case in which he. Rice, was a witness, and. partly by promises and partly by fr.endship. Murry suc ceeded in inducing him to quit work and keep in hiding, so that he might not be summoned to testify in the case. When he again showed up, his employ ers discharged him for his action, and he found himself unable to procure em ployment elsewhere, and with very little cash on hand. Murry. at this juncture, cam- to Chicago, and hi the course of time "oaxed him by g!ow;ng accounts of his -'icce. to come on and loin him. It was not until they met 'n this city. Rice said, that he became aware of Murry'j nefarious occupation. He was in" a desperate strait, and Murry d d not find much difficulty in persuading h.m to ga into a business where the p-nfits were sure and quick. Rice then urged in his own oehalf that he had never entered any bouses: Mnrry I way did that, while ue stood guard on the outside. It was through!" him that the police had first been able to accumulate the evidence. and then to re cover nearly all the large amount of property stolen. He had neer been arrested but twice before, once on a trivial charge when a Boy. and once when he fir-t went to St. Louis, where the police held him in confinement for three day- while they were investigating his character. The prisoner broke down completely on the stand, and the little son created an other scene by running to his father and imploring him in an agonized tone. "Don't cry. papa," A bailiff, ruder than the rest, dragged away the child, who then turned" to his "mother and seemed to implore her to go and aid the father. All were visibly affected, when Judge Roger, turning to Rice. aid he was convinced, from all the evidence, that Murry was the greater criminal of the two. and that Rice was not a bad man. They had together to!en about $10. MX) worth of property, committing numerous burglaries, at all of which -ave two Rice was present. It wm Rice who confessed, and it was through his in terposition that about ?7.,.l0O worth of the plunder had been recovered. He was disposed to be lenient, but he did not well see how he could inflict a less punishment than two years in the peni tentiary. Mrs. Rice bucst into tears and wept Eiteimsly. The little boy -obbed as if is heart would break, and turned in vain from one parent to fhe other for consolation. Even the babe joined in the wail. Rice h.raelf burst mro tears, and as he proceeded in a choked voice to make yet anahte..' pie for leniency by promising future good behavior and by poinringto his already destitute and helpless family, there was not a dry ey in the court-room. Not a few who were nnaole to restrain their emotion arose and left the -oom. Sobs accompanying those of the -tricken family were heard from several quar ters. Tears stood in the eve- of the State's-Attorney and the Clerk, and tears wre slowly trickling down the face of Judgq Roger as he expr-ei the deepest sympathy for the prisoner's family, and called to mind that he had a grandchild just above the age and somewhat resembling the little fellow before him. Then. leaning over to the Clerk, he ordered the sentence reduced to one year in the penitentiary. As the prisoner wa' led away the wfe and lit tle one sobbed louder than ever. It was a scene never to be forgotten, and it had its effect upon the subsequent proceed ings of court. Shortly before the noon adjournment Mr. Greeley, who was the attorney for the two burglars until he found himself enrolled as one of their victims, ap proached State's-Attorney Mills, and. in .i voice full of emotion, asked if th-re was no further chance for the poor fei low who had just been torn awav frun his family. He. a one of their victims. was anxious to enter a plea in Rice" behai?. Mr. Mill? advised him to -peak to the Court, and then hurried away a bai.'ff to bringin Rice. The old lawvW. chok ng down his tear, and w.th h:s hand across hi mouth nearly half the time, made known hi- de-ire to the Court, and on hi request, the State" s Attoney consent ng.
