MISS BECKY'S MB.« Becky was going; to the

tllil Ladies' Home rat last. It was

¡i sorry fact, but there was nothingvise foi her to ilo, it »eemetl. Whowould think of offering any othertosas for a poor, almost helplessold woman, who had outlive»«! her

usefulness? Having passed herdays iu other people's houses, so

to speak, she might not mind it ss

much, perhaps, as a more tortnnate

being.'¦\cn, she Said, "there's a vacan¬

cy in the Old Ladies' Home, andtin« hundred dollars that ParsonAniory left me will pay my way to,but it wouldn't last long if I beganto spend it, yon know, and I shall

warnt bed and my regular¦osla without worrying aboutwhere the next one's coming from.I'm 'most tired worrying about«rtsj a and means. Seems as thoughI had been about It all my life;ever since father waa taken downwith heart disease hearing theclass in algebra. Now that tberheumatism has got the better ofme, so that I can't work in coldweather, and the doctor says it'lldraw my fingers so that I can't use

them soon, it doesn't seem as ifthere was anything left for mo inthis world but the Home.and Ion¡»ht to be thankful for that"Miss Becky had had other ex¬

pectations in her heyday, whenyoung Larry Iiogers met her andtarried her basket ; when hisstrong arm paddled her down thebroad river to church on Sundaymornings ; when they sang to¬gether in the choir from the same

hymn book ; when they loiteredhomeward in the fragrant summer

dusk, and heard the whip-poor-willciiinplaiu and startled the fire-fliesi ti »he hedges as they brushed by.It sometimes seemed to MissBecky as if all this bad happenedIn another planet. She was youngtheir, with a bloom on her cheek ;but although the rheumatism hadbent her figure and rendered hermore or less hopeless at times, yethei ilaik. velvety eyes looked outlike soft stars, and the ghost of adimple Btill flickered on her cheekand chin in spite of her sixty odd

« who had taught her musichour after hour in the empty schoolhouse; they had practiced togetherwhile he wrote the score on theblackboard.

lint all this had not sufficed toenable her to earn a livelihood. Hereducation, musical and otherwise,bad stopped **»aort of any commer¬

cial value. In those days she never

expicted to eain her living by thesweat of her brow. I«arry was

gang to give her everything. Howtiivial the little »p-iarrel seemedto day which circumvented thisinal resolve of his! But whatmagnitude it had assumed at thetine! On his return from a tripin a neighboring city, some busy¬body had whispered to Larry that.liss liecky had been seen drivingwith K.-uire 1'.ostis'son Sam behind jIns trotters. Sam was just homofrom college, a harum-scarum fel¬low, they said, who made love rightami lelt and gambled a bit; andwhen Larry reproached her with itshe had not denied ; she had aim-plj said : '-What then? If yonchoose to listen to gossip ratherthan wait till yon-*"Hut yon didn't tell me, and I've

Iniii here a week.""I had forgotten all about it till

yon reminded me," said Becky."It's such an everyday affair for

you to drive with Sam Hastia!"which incredulity so stung Ueckythat she would not, condescend to

explain that she had carried some

dapple grays, and the Squire had(Vsid, »TAko Miss Becky home,Sam, and show her their paces;"am! how she had been ashamed to

their kindness, althoughpreferring to walk a thousandtimes ; and bow, once in tbe chaise,Sam had been tbe very t»/nk of

m

courtesy, and begged her to d

over with him to Parson Amthree miles out of ber way, "I

said Sam, who was not as blaclhe wss painted, or as msny li

daily rounds of toil or mercy. SiKusti» had married Lncy Aini

years ago, and was the forem<

flirtations. Once, when they m

at Lucy Amory's wedding, whthey all went ont into tbe orchawhile the bride planted a youitree and the guests looked t

four-leaved clovers, she bad fouiherself.whether by accidentdesign abe could not tell.on tlgrass beside Larry; their fingemet on tbe same lucky clover, theeyes met above it, and for an i

atant she had it on her tongueend to confess all about tldrive and its results, to pipride in her pocket; but just tinNell Amory called to Larry :

"Oh, a horrid apider.on no

arm, Larry ! Kill him quick.dcOh ! oh ! oh ! . I shall die-shall taint !"And that waa the end of it.Tbe old orchard,with its fragrar

quince bushes, its gnsrled appltrees, its four-leaved clovers, was

thing of the past; a cotton mlroared and thundered all day Ion«where the birds built and the treeblossomed thirty odd years ago. Ino longer blossomed except in MisBecky's memory. She had turneher thoughts to raising plants wheishe was left to her own resource)

but one cruel winter's night kille»all her slips, and the capital wa

lacking by which abe might rene*»

her stock. Since then ahe haigone out for daily sewing, haiwatched the sick, had been in demand for a temporary houaekeepewhenever a tired matron wiahed ai

more slowly, and her housekeepingtalent waa no longer in requestadded to this, the bank where heilittle earnings had been growingone day failed and left her higtaud dry. Some of her friends hadtraveled to pastures new, some hacmarried away, some had ignored oi

forgotten her. As for LarrjRogers, he bad been away Iron

beautiful romance to Miss Beck-to read In the Plymouth Reeoriabout our "gilted townsman;" sh<did not blame bim because ber lif«had been colorless. She sang af,siithe old tunes be had taught berand made a little sunshine in beiheart. All of the happiness ahehad ever known be bad broughther.

ADVICE FOR WIVES.

Be gentle and firm with children.Beware of the first disagreemeut.llenare of meddlers and tale¬

bearers.I.earn to speak in a gentle tous

of voice.I.earn to deny yourself and pre¬

fer others.Avoid moods and pets and fita of

snlkinesa.Never charge a bad motive, if s

good one is conceivable.I.i'u u to govern yourselves and

to be gentle and patient.Learn to say kind and pl-aaaut

tilinga whenever opportunity otters.Never speak or act in auger un¬

til you have prayed over yourwords or acts.

Remember that, valuable as isthe gift of speech, silence is oftenmore valuable.Never retort a sharp or angry

word« It is the second word thatmakes the quarrel.Study the characters of each and

sympathize with all their troubles,however small.Hemember that you are married

to a man, not to a god ; be prepared for imperfections.Do not neglect little things, if

they cau aftect tbe comfort ofothers in the smallest degree.

Don't be always teasing him for

money, and keep the householdexpenses well within your allow¬ance.

Once in a while let your husbandhave the last word; it will gratifybin and be no particular loss toyou.Do not expect too much from

others, but lorbesr and forgive, as

you desire forbearance and for¬giveness yourself.Bead something in the papers

beside fashion notes and societycolumns; have some knowledge ofwhat is going on in foreign coun-tries.

l'v»n it your husband shouldhave no heart, he is sure to have a

stomach, so be careful to lubricateihe marriage yoke with well-cookeddinners.

(¦tiard your tempers, especiallyin seasons of 111 health, irritationmid trouble, and soften them bypiayers and a sense of your own

shortcoming* and errors.

And first be as kind and cour¬

teous to your husband as you werewhen ho was your lover. Thenj mi used to look up to him ; do notnow look down upon him.

Let him know more than you doonce in a while; it keeps up hisself respect, and you are none themono for admitting that you are

not actually infallible.K.'spect your husband's relations,

especially bis mother.she is none

the less his mother because she isyour mother-in-law ; she loved himbefore you did.He a companion to your husband

if hu be a wise man; snd if be isnot, try to make bim become yourcompanion. liaise his standard;do not let him lower yours.

An Underground Route.Iu the towu of Sutro, Nev., there

is a silver mine the main gangwayof which runs from beneath thatplace to Virginia City, four milesdistant. Frequently this "tunnelroute," as it is called, is us»»d bySutro parties desiring to go to Vir-giuia City theatres. The partiesenter the tunnel almost at theirown doors, clamber into a car

drawn by several mules and are

carried the full leugtb of the tunnelm a comparatively short space oftinn Once there they are hoistedup a shaft 1,049 feet deep, issuingwithin a lew miuutes' walk of tbe< )peia House. The route is cool msummer aud warm in winter. Thecars are so cleau that the best ofdi «ses may be worn without dis¬astrous result. It ia a novel way,certainly, of going to a theatre, al-thor.gh somewhat trying to a timidbeginner's nerves.
