« Ob, mother!” exclaimed Mary Wylie,
tones of dismay, “ tbo cream is all
sour 1”
And her handsome face darkened with
positive annoyance. It was really too
vexatious, for she had invited a score or
more of gay young lriends lor that even
ing, to meet her newly arrived consin
Kitty, aDd of course she ought to have ice
cream. The Wylies were rather famous
for their delicious ice-cream, which they
always made themselves for company, but
the thermometer at ninety-eight and a
thunder-storm had curdled all the milk in
the dairy.
“ ybe cake, is all ready,” said Maty, sit
ting down inner perplexity. “Bnt what
else are we to have. Coffee' is too hot,
and lemonade is too much like a fair.
Kitty, can’t yon think ot .-ome little light
thing, easy to make, to take the place of
ice-cream f”
Thus appealed to, Kitty upraised her
head from “Daniel Deronda,” and said,
thoughtfully, “Po you like float f”
“What is a float t”
“ It takes eggs; mamma makes it often
for us at home, evenings. She beats the
whites of eggs up like a great snowy moun
tain, and puts in sugar, and then she beats
strawberries, or raspberries, or jelly, to
make it a pretty color and flavor it. We
eat in saucers like ice-cream.”
“ It sounds good,” said Mary, with a lit
tle revival of hope, “ and we have oceans
of eggs. Hut strawberries are all gone—
there are raspberries, to be sure, down in
the lots. But I burn so ’■11 go in the sun,
and the servants are busy—no, I’m afraid
we can’t make it.”
“ I’ll pick the berries!” said Kitty,
jumping up; “I’d like nothing better than
stroll in the lot*, and I’m so brown al
ready the sun won’t hurt me.”
“ But you’ll be so tired,” remonstrated
Mary, looking admiringly at the merry
brunetto face, and J want yoi) to look
your very prettiest to-night, so that our
young men may lose their hearts.”
“ I thiuk I would rather have raspber
ries than hearts,” replied Kitty, saucily,
and she put on her hat and took a pail,
and, with a few words of direction, went
down the garden and through a gate into
the back lot.
It was a burning July day, but Kitty was
child of the sun, and* she liked it. She
had not been iu the country for a long
time before, and she fairly reveled in the
feeling of the grass under her feet, the
whirr of the grasshoppers, and the little
escor. ofbmwn butterflies that fluttered
all the tjme just ahead of her.
Here are the raspberries J” she said to
herself as she came to the low stone wall;
not very many of them either—I suppose
they picked a good many for supper last
uigtat. But I’ll glean as I go.”
So she gleaned as she went, but the ber
ries were scarce, and as the old wall was
a tumble-down condition, and there
seemed to be tporp herrjes }u the next lot,
she climbed over and wandered on, meet
ing with better success. A lane ran by
the lot she was now in, and a black-eyed
young lady walking through it stared cu T
riously at Kitty as she passed.
“ I believe I like birds better than I do
people,” was Kitty’s mental comment x>n
this; “ yopr dear little robins singing s
over in those apple trees, \ mean to go and
watch your housekeeping, and rest a little
while, lor my pail is almost full.”
Tho apple trees were in a corner of the
lot, and when Kitty reached them she
found a bubbling spring there, and rocks
covered with lovely iicheDS.
“ Uucle Jtobert pas good taste,” she
said, “ to keep such a charming little nook
here.” And she threw herself down in tho
shadow of one quite tall rock, and fanned
herself with her hat. she was iu a mood
to thoroughly enjoy everything, and it
seemed toiler sbe’bad neyer seen the sky
beautiiul. before, nor such beautiful
clouds.
“ I’d like to marry a farmer!” she said,
impulsively aloud: and to her utter dismay
pleasant, manly voice fcoin the other side
of the rock responded:
“Would youl That’s quite a rare
choice, nowadays I”
Kitty sprang up and started to run,
when, of all calamities, in her haste she
upset per ppjl of raspberrjes, and away
they foiled Jn evpry direction. .With
burning pheeks she began to pick them
up, lor it would never do tq disappoint
Mary apout tbe float, and she threw an in
dignant glanpe at tbe young man, who
now came round in full view, and said he
begged her pardon, he knew he ought not
to have spoken, but it really seemed im
polite not to apswer i
“ Your politeness haa spilled my ber
ries, you see!” she replied, rather sharply.
“Allow me,” he exclaimed, instantly,
and grasping tho pail, he began to pick
up the berries with her.
They worked together in perfect silence
for a few minutes, hunting the berries
among the grass, and down In the soft,
green moss. §ne great black raspberry
bad caught iu d spider’s web -, they each
reached for it in the same second, their
bands tpucbpd, their eyes met, and tfle
young man smiled: and, so, |n spite of her-
selt, did Kitty.
“ Do forgive me,” he said; “ you shall
not be one berry the loser by it l” and he
rescued two on the brink of the spring.
“I will,” answered Kitty; “but you
must never tell the farmers!”
Alley that, of course, it absurd to be
formal, and,’ like two happy young cfed-
tures in the heyday of youth, they made s
frolic ot the whole thmg, and laughed over
eyery berry. Kitty told him what she
picked them for, abfl for whom, and he
said he was well acquainted with Mias
Wyfle.
I‘ Bprhpps, then, you will he there to:
night,” she remarked, hoping in her heart
he would.
“ I have not been invited,” he answered
soberly.
«; “ Oh, well,” said Kitty, merrily, “ then
I’ll invito you, for Mary made the compa
ny for me, and J heard her say thpre were
two or three pore she wanted to adk, but
hadn’t been able to see them. Won’t yon
cornel* , - V
The young man hesitated | he felt as if
he were sailing under false colors. The
troth was, he and the Wylies were not on
good terms, though they had formerly
been friends. Mat their lands adjoined,
Wylie, surveying one day after his
own fasbio'n, found, or fancied he found,
that he bad a 'right to tbe knoll. This
claim youug Hugh Greystone bad reiused
to recognize. His lather,-who had recent
ly died, had always held possession of the
knoll, and greatly prized it-, and Hugh saw
do reason why he should give up his title.
Mr. Wylie, who was hot and hasty, had
begun legal measures, and Hugh, indig
nant, and compelled to take up the defen
sive, had naturally ceased visiting at the
Wylie*mausion.
“Of course you needn’t*come if you
don’t want to!” said Kitty, piqued at his
hesitation.
“I do want to come,” Jie answered
earnestly, “ and will, tf f'oan possibly ar
range it so.” '* * ■
“I’ll expect you,”said Kitty, lightly and
then remembering that her cousin must be
wondering at her long absence, she lifted
the. pail of berries aud would have said
good morning,” but Hugh stepped in
stantly to her side, and taking the pail,
went with her as far as the piece of dilap
idated wall where she had first crossed
over. Then he watched her until she dis
appeared from sight in the Wylie garden.
When he turned back his brow was knit
but his lips were smiling. The merry lit?
tie brunette tace bad aroused bis interest
as no other lace had ever done. Hugh
Greystone had more romance and generos-
ity in tbe depth oi his soul than any one
dreamed, and was quite capable ot doiug
quixotic deed once in a while, it it harm
ed no one but himselt. He determined to
go to Mary Wylie’s party, and to pay a roy
al price for the privilege.
“ Here are your raspberries!” exclaimed
Kitty, gayly, as she entered the house;
“aud now 1 5 11 sit right flowu and pick
them over.”
“ You dear littlesoul 1” Baid Mary, with
fervor, “you are such a comfort. But I
am afraid you are tired out, your cheeks
are so flushed!”
“ Oh, | ran up the path,” said Ifitty,
bending over the berries. She had fully
meant to recouut all her adventure for
Mary’s entertainmeut, but, after all, so un
accountable is a girl, she said not one
word about it.
Together they prepared the float, beat
ing tbo eggs up high and white aud light,
and gradually adding the sugar and ber
ries, till they had a great dish heaped up
like a massy mountain with the delicacy,
which was in tint an exquisite pale purple.
It was set aside with the cake, and then
the girls flew to adorn themselves.
Evening came and the guests gathered.
It was a house where every *one liked to
visit, and Mary Wylie was a popular girl.
Her cousin, the stranger, looking very
piquant and prptty jQ' fllapk grenadine,
with a few “ ploth ot gold” roses, made
quite a sensation, and she herself enjoyed
the evening, the more, perhaps, because a
certain secret excitement that set her
heart bounding every time a new comer
entered the door, and her first thought
was. “ Is it he T”
But fjmw passed, apfl hP pbwo not.
There had been danejng, and every oue
was warm and tired. Uefrephments wore
always servpd parly at the Wylies’ in obe
dience to good old fashioned notions on
the part ot the head ot tho house. So
presently the cake \va9 passed about, and
the company partook, witfl tflo pleasant
anticipation that ice : creacu was' coming
next to make them cool aud comfortable.
It was such a sultry July evening that they
must be pardoned. When tbe high piled
purple dish was brought in, it was univer
sally noticed, lor human nature does feel
interested iu what it is about to put $t a
party.
“ 1 never saw lavender ice cream be
fore,” whispered one to his neighbor, and
Mary Wylie heard it.
She dipped it out into saucers, and, with
the eleptric pyinpatpy o| a hostess felt that
the first taste was followed by disappoint
ment. The fact was the float was a de
licious thing, but, for tho. first instant it
did fall flat In mouths that were made up
for icecream.
“ It ! 8 raspberry float,” said Kitty, inno
cently, in reply to a neighbor’s question ;
I picked all the berries for it myself.”
“ Yes,” said a sharp-eyed young lady,
whom Kitty had already recognized as the
one in the lane, “ I saw you rifling the
Greystone bushes.”
“ Why, Kitty 1” exclaimed Mary Wylie,
with deepening color], “ you did not go out
ot your own lot, did you f”
“ f’m afraid I did,” said Kitty, becoming
embarrassed at the mischievous and
moaning glances that met her on all sides,
aud feeling that, tor some reason, her
cousin was annoyed.
But now some one passed bis saucer
for a little more of the float, and one alter
another began to praise it,' till at last
Mary’s equauiwity returned.
Meanwhile, Mr. Wylie, who had been sit
ting comfortably all the evening out in tbo
honeysuckle scented piazza, had compapy
4if his own. It was 4 u ob ftreystondj who
coming up the path and finding him there,
had stopped for a talk.
“ Mr. Wylie,” ho said, “ I’ve come to say
that I have changed my injqd qflouf our
lawsuit. 'I’he well is' out of repair, the
merestouc is lost, aud it you were sure
about your survey, 1 can’t say but there
may have been a mistake. In tact, I con

That’s right, Hugh, my boy!’’ exclaim
ed Mr. Wylie, his stiff dignity melting into
bo discovered a few inches under ground,
the long lost merestone.
“ Now we can set things right,” he ex
claimed, exultantly. But bis face tell as
he went on surveying, for by the aid ot
the stone he rectified his survey and was
confounded to fiud that the old wall had
been right all the time, and the knoll was
none of his. He lookel up and saw Hugh
Greystone crossing the field.
“ Hugh !” ho called*out in his hasty way,
“ come here 1 I've been an old tool and
you’ve been a gentleman. The knoll is
yours, sure enough.”
“ Oh, I’ve made you a present of it,”
said Hugh, rather grandly. “ But if you
don’t want to keep it, you can give it to
my wile.”
“ Your wife!” asked Mr. Wylie,; amazed

How His Trousers Got Shortened.
A certain gentleman purchased a pair
of pants a few days ago, which upon be
ing tried on at borne, he found to be too
long. That night be remarked to his wife
that he wished her to take off about an
inch from each leg, which would make
thorn the desired length. Being fond ot
teasing her husband, she told him that
she shouldn’t do anything of the kind,
and he retired without having obtained
a promise from her that she would attend
to the matter.
Soon alter he had left for his room, how
ever, she, as a matter of course, clip
ped off the superfluous inch, as she
had been asfled to do. Tho family is
composed of six female members, and
each one of the five who were in adjoining
rooms, heard the dispute between mau
and wite, and after the latter had taken
oil the required inch aud retired, not
knowing wh^t her daughter-in-law had
done, cautiously slipped into the 100m and
cut off another inch.
In this way did each of tbo five ladies,
unknown to tho other, and all with the
praiseworthy object of preventing any
misunderstanding 'between the couple,
clip an inch from the legs of the gentle
man’s trousers.
The following morning, all unconscious
of what had taken pip,00 during the night,
he rolled up his pants In a piece ot paper,
and took thorn to the tailor to be short
ened to the desired length. Upon a hasty
glance the latter ventured the opinion
that they were already short; buttfle
owner insisted that t^ey vy pp jujlyafl jnph
too long. Tfle taflor flafl oa mope to say
and our frjend retired,
Qn the following Saturday he called for
the pants and took them home, and was
supremely disgusted to find that the, legs
reached only a trifle below the knee. He
straightway accused the tailor, but
wife heard him and came (q tfle rescue,'
e^plainjug that s^e had taken an inch
from eapn ej ihe legs, aqd her acknowK
edgmeut was followed fly each of tbe
other flve ladies, when it was discovered
that altogether the legs had been shorten

A young man in Virginia had bem sad
ly intemperate. He was a man of great
capability, fascination and power, byt ho
had a passion for brandy which' qqthing
could control, utten iu fljs walks a friend
retaonkt&ted with him, but in vain, and
a& often in turn would he urge his friend
to take a social glass with him, in vain.
On one occasion the latter agreed tq ytai^
to him, a«d as fh e Y walked yp po the bar
together, tye bar-keeper said;
We lived in a city in Ohio, my brother
and I, and with us our aged parents. Two
merrier young people never lived. We
were twins, and so much alike in our ways
and manners, that it would bave taken
a smart person to tell us apart; we look
ed and talked alike; we had light brown
hair, and dark blue eyes; we were just
twenty-two, and were always up to some
trick, playing pranks on eaoh other, and
sometimes on our intimate friends.
I had two very intimate gentlemen
friends, George Caston and Sam. Summers.
I had known them a long time and liked
them very much, but lately, in some way,
I had taken a dislike to Sam. Summers,
and wanted to get rid of him. He had not
offended me personally, and I did not
know how to go about it. So ’I determirf-
ed to play a trick on him. i told brother
Tom about it, and he promised his assist
ance. On Wednesday evening I had prom
ised to go to a concert with George Caston;
I knew that Sam. wanted to take me, and
I expected him at my house that evening
also.
I knew that George would come at seven
o’clock. At six I took Tom to my room
and dressed him iu one of my evening
dresses, put 01 a blonde wig which I had
procured for the purpose, dressed his hair
in the latest style, with a blue ribbon bow
on the side. The loug dress hid his big
feet, and I squeezed his bands into No. ?
kid gloves. We both laughed until our
sides ached at this mean trick that we
were about to play ou a poor unsuspect
ing young man.
We got over our fit of laughing just iu
time, for the door hell rang and the ser
vant brought up his card.
“ Tell Mr. Summers that 1 will be down
in a few minutes,” I replied, “ and be sure
and shut the door that leads into the back
parlor.”
After q (ew minutes, I sent Tom do wn
to the parlor, and I slipped down the back
way into the back parlor, and stood by the
door that led into the iront parlor, It
was-growing dark, and Iiuat could see in
the room. He was sitting on a sofa near
the door) 1 could seo him distinctly, as
there was a window open to the right ot
him.
I had just gotten to my p<aee by the
door, when my brother entered the par
lor. '
It was the most ridiculous sight I ever
saw. Mr. Summers sprang up to meet
Miss Colton, (as he thought.)
“ Good eveuing, Miss Colton,” he said,
in his pleaaptoat tone, aooompanied by
hjs most polite bow,
“ Good evening, Mr. Summers,” answer
ed Miss Colton, “ I am glad to see you out
again. 1 heard that you had been sick.”
“ Thank you, Miss Kate,” said the well
pleased Sam, “ I bave been indisposed lor
a feto days past, but I am UU right again, I
am happy to Bay..”
go perfect was the imitation ot my tone
and manner, that I was astonished. I did
not know that my brother could act so
well. Gut there he was seated l>y the side
ot that stupid Sam, (who thought it was
me,) talking away for dear life.
What a sight it was. I had to stuff my
handkerchief' in my mouth to keep from
aughing,
J heard him ask “ Miss Kate” if she
would go to the concert with him; of
course, “ Miss Kate” said yes. I saw her
rise to leave the room, and at the same
time riug tor ljghfcl.
( gqt up from my seat at the door, and
fairly flew up stairs to my room; there I
met Tom I thought that we would both
go into hysterics. We laughed for fully
ten minutes without stopping, except to
catch our breath, We had to stop then,
from sheer exhaustion.
Aud as Tom would repeat some little
silly nothings that Sam. had said to him,
we would laugh again, till the room rang.
But I knew that this idling would never do.
Tom must leave before George Gaston
came, or the fun would all be spoiled,
put ou his bat aud wraps and started him
dowu stairs again with a proper excuse
for keeping Mr. Summers waiting ao long.
It just lacked ten minutes of seven o’clock
as they drjvo away from tbe door.
After another good laugh at Sam’s stu
pidity, I descended to the parlor to wait
for Mr, Caston. He oame in a few min
utes and we soon left for the concert. We
were driving leisurely along the avenue,
when a buggy passed us like a flash, tho
horse going at the top ot his speed- I did
not know, of course, wha it was.
We arrived in time to get a good seat,
and ( looked all around to see where Sam.
and “Miss Kate" were. But they were
not to be seen anywhere.
I could not imagine what it meant.
I asked Mr. Caston if he knew where
Mr. Summers was t “ ^q/‘ he said he
had not him for several days.
We lelt as soou as the concert was over.
When we reached home, Tom was there
he8melled very strongly of arnica. Mr
Caston left «t' twelve o'clock, and then
fotp told me ail that had happened since
Seven o'clock,
They drove along very quietly for a
while, when Mr. Summers began to he
very sentimental. In other words he
simply made an offer of marriage to my
brother, 'ftta v?ga toq much for Tom. His
apt up fe-lings could stand no more, he
at began to laugh loud and uproariously.
Mr summers was furious:; he knew,
from.the .changed tone of vetoe^-that, it
was Tom,, .Popr SUmu he cursed and swore,!
^l.yflh PAly ^augbed. He stopped ^*,
buggy in the middle of the road, and po-
litely (f) asked Tmn to leave, and assisted
“ What are you laughing at, Kate I”
“ I bave only to say “ Sam Summdrs ”
It is like fire set to tow, then; be burst
out in as wild a laugh as if it was the first
time he had heard it.
It was a mean joke, certain.
Practical jokes are nieab,.anyway.
