THE hEAiOiVS E FOP EM EAT.
“Good gracious, Betsey, if there
don’t come Brother Skeels riding
iowu the road in liis buggy!
Ynd as sure as I live and breathe,he
is all dressed up.”
“Bike enough lie's round to git
some flowers to putou Mrs. Skeel’s
grave,” added she, sarcastically. You
lie down there, Tiger, and keep
•juiet.”
The deacon, after a prolonged con
tention with an offended mare, had'
persuaded her to be tied, and was
now walking between Maria’s beds
of pinks and larkspurs, straight to
ward the front door, instead of com
ing round to the kitchen, as folks
usually did except on very ceremo
nious occasions, which proceeding on
the part ot the deacon caused Maria
to exclaim: ^
“My sakes alive!”
“What does ail you, Maria? Do
set down that bucket of milk and go
and open the door for the deacon,
can’t you?”
“For tiie land's sake, Betsy, you
don’t expect me to let in Brother
skeels looking like this do you? You
Iust go aud open the door, while I
go and slip on my other dress.”
And before Betsy could remonstrate
Maria had climbed up the creaky
staircase and there was no alterna
tive but for her to receive the dea
con.
“It does beat all how women do
act when there’s men-folks around,”
mumbled Betsy, as she proceeded to
pull up the Venetian blinds, and
pen ike fiout door lor the worthy
deacon, who had been lingering for
sometime under cover of the honey
suckle vine which grew on a frame
over the entrance to draw on a pair
of black cotton gloves.
“Good day, riisUir Elizabeth, A
warm day.”
‘Yes; right warm, I should think,
to he riding around the couutry with
cloves and tilings all on,” said Betsy
with great fierceness.
“Just so!” he replied, abstractedly.
“I reckon you come to see brother
Anson,” said Bety, to his further dis-
I'oinfiture; “he’s just out in the pota
to patch, hoeing; I’ll call him.”
Oh, never mind! don’t disturb
nim, lister Elizabeth,” said the dea
con, somewhat hastily; “I just drop
ped iu as I was going past to see how
you were all getting along. I can’t
stop long. Hem! it’s quite warm!”
“You seem to feel the heat amaz
ing, Mr. Skeels. ’Pears like you’d be
more comfortable in your store day
times, than riding around the couu
try,” said Betsy, in a thorny way,
that pricked the very heart of what
little self possession he had left; and
he was about to withdraw, utterly
discomfited, when the low door lead
ing from the “entry way” opened,
and Maria appeared, dressed in a
manner which would have undoubt
edly elicited some satirical comment
from her sister’s sharp tongue,
had not that worthy lady at that mo
ment espied a family of vagabond
pigs entering the front gate, which
the deacon, in his excitement, had
forgotten to fasten, and darted out af
ter them, waving her suubounet
wildly, crying, “Shoo! hie, there!
shoo, there, 1 say!”
Maria seemed a little embarrassed,
and the deacon, too, at first, not hav
ing recovered his equilibrium, was
not quite at his ease, and occupied
some little time, with his hat.
“Like as not, I’m hindering you
from your chores. Sister Maria,” said
the deacon, finally, having deposited
lus hat on a copy of “Fox’s Martyrs”
which lay on the table.
“Oh, not iu the least, Brother
Skeels; I’m right glad to see you,”
said Maria, in such a modest, coy,
coquettish way, that the deacon fell
encouraged at once, and moved his
chair a little nearer the settee upon
which Maria was sitting.
“You have been quite regu
lar to prayer meeting of late,
Sister Maria; it’s very soothing like
to my soul to see you there so fre
quently.”
Whether the deacon had also di
vined Maria’s motives, aud attributed
her religious enthusiasm to his elo
quent prayers and exhortations “in
meeting” cannot he known, hut cer
tainly the tender aud sympathizing
looks she had cast over to his side of
tiie efforeh had their eltect upon his
susceptible bosom.
“Sister Maria,” said he, “this is a
miserable world.”
“Yes, Brother Skeels,” said the
maiden, sympathetically.
“I don’t take to no sort of pleasure
in nothing since I lost my pardner;
life seems so lonesome-like,” said the
deacon, “Scripture says it ain’t good
for man to lie alone.”
“I dou’t reckon as how you’ll never
find no one to take her place,” said
Maria, timidly.
“Ah! Sister Marier, there is them
as could make me happy once more,
as it were, and make me forgitmy
grief for her as lies in the buryitig-
ground with the long grass waving
over tier,” said the deacon iu a burst
of eloquence.
Jut at this juncture the swallows
in the big chimney flew up with a
loud whir that caused Maria, to start
up with a little scream, albeit Bhe
had been accustomed to these sum
mer swallows from childhood—and
thegood deaconcouldnot refrain from
clasping his arm around her waist
anil entreating her not to be afraid.
Don’t move till you’re calm, Sis
ter Marier.”
Whereat Miss Par rat, instead of
becoming calm, showed signs of in
creased agitation, as was perhaps nat
ural under the circumstances. The
urge palm-leaf figures on the bosom
of her gown heaved wildly and she
burst into tears. Then the summer
oat sleeve tightened about the round
waist, the maiden’s head sank lower
and lower, until finally the cheek
rested upon the bombazine bosom,
aud the deacon’s voice whispered:
Marier, you are the being I would
have for my second partner; will you
become Mrs. Skeels, and make me
happy?”
Without waiting for her lover to
repent of the offer, Maria whispered
Yes.”
It was night. Squire Anson Par-
rat's oats had been out aud piled in
stacks about the field adjoining the
old farm house. The chickens in
the cherry tree beside the kitchen
porch slept peacefully on their perch
and the pale light of the new moon
shone softly over the scene. The in
mates of the little house seemed to
be resting likewise under a peaceful
spell, and appeared to slumber. Not
so, however. One wakeful being
beneath that quiet roof was tossing
restless on her high-posted couch.
This was no other than the gentle
Maria. She was just doing her back
hair when Tiger gave a growl, then
a loud bark on hearing what sound
ed to him very much like the wheels
of a rickety chaise rattle some dis
tance down the pike.
“We are diskivered,” said the agi
tated Maria to herself, in great
alarm.
But no! Tiger stopped to listen
for the near approach of the wheels,
but either he had been mistaken in
he noise or the chaise ha 1 stopped,
for all was quiet.
Maria went on with her dressing.
Finally the last touches were added
lo her midnight toilet; she bad tied
on her head a coquettish bonnet of a
previous fashion, and ail was iu read
iness. . ^ ,.
Aud here let us explain. On the
occasion of his recent call, after tlje
tender scene of wooing described
above. Deacon Skeels had elicited
from the romantic maiden a promise
to meet him at the end of the “cow
pasture” on the present night and
go off “quiet-like” and be united in
the holy bonds in the cosy little sit
ting room behind his shop. Wheth
er he was prompted to this course by
the dread of encountering Elizabeth,
or of facing the wrath of some of the
other sisters in the neighborhood,
who had their eyes upon him since
his bereavement, does not appear.
At all events, he wished the deed to
be done quickly and quietly, and this
midnight elopement so pleased Ma
ria, so far exceeded her wildest hopes
—her most romantic wishes, that she
readily consented to the plan, aud
hence we find her to-night, skipping
along the cow-path to meet her wait
ing lover, with all the blithesome
agility, if not the grace of a young
girl.
She hurried across the pasture so
rapidly that when she reached the
trystiug place by the lane fence,
where the deacon, the chaise and the
old inare were awaiting her, she was
entirely out of breath, and had to
lean for some minutes against the
fence for support, while her lover
embraced her through the rails. As
soon as Maria recovered somewhat,
she mounted to the top of the fence
with what little assistance the dea-
eonld render her through the open
ing between the rails, and prepared
Ii/leai> into his open arms. She did
spring, or rather dropped, but the
skirt of her gown caught on the end
of a nosts »n d there she hun S 8U3 *
pended, her tan-colored gaiters, with
attendant ankles and hose, dancing
wildly in mid-air, in a vaio effort to
find a resting place for their soles,
while the recreant bonnet fell on her
shoulders and her too-fatal teeth, in
securely fastened, flew out with the
violence of the jerk she received. The
agonized deacon stood below, uncer
tain whether to fly or remain. Gal
lantry, however, overcame his mod
esty,’and with the encouraging admo-
I nition to his love, “Hold fast there,
Marier,and I’ll unhitch yer clothes,”
he proceeded to release her.
I Maria was likely to “hold fast.”
She remained a miserable fixiure
until the deacon hoisted himself to
i the top of the fence, and by diut of
great effort succeeded in unhitching
i the dress, when Maria fell to the
, ground iu a heap, nearly fainting in
j dead earnest. Only the sight of the
1 moonbeam playing on the silver
I plate of her front teeth saved her
' from a deep swoon. She clutched
wildly at them, and before the dea
con had descended from the fence
had them in tneir place again. That
worthy person had backed slowly
aud cautiously down, aud when cer
tain of standing once more on level
ground, looked arouud eagerly for
the luckless bride, who still lay in
the corner an object of pity as well
as of admiration to the bridegroom.
Finally they were off, Maria lean
ing helplessly against his bosom, and
declaring vaguely that she would
“rather a’ died,” referring no doubt
to her Idver having seen her stock-
iugsand underwear and false teeth.
When the happy pair entered the
little shop, Hymen seemed to smile
on them, and the small sitting-room
seen just Iieyoud, ablaze with the
beams of a lamp, looked like a
glimpse of paradise to Maria. The
hour had come for which she had
prayed aud longed for years. She
was to he a bride. Henceforth she
would he the envy of at least a doz
en spiusters of tiie village aud neigh
boring couutry. Her cup seemed
full of happiness.
The reverend gentleman whom
the deacon had imported for the oc
casion from “Kalmuck” in a skiff
the previous afternoon was aroused
from a sound sleep, into which he
had falleu iu a window, and the brief
ceremony was performed which con
verted Miss Maria Barret into Mrs.
Deacon Skeels.
Bet us pass over the scenes that
followed when the news of the elope
ment was spread through the village
of L the next morning. Ex
citement ran high, and it was not
until after the funeral of the oldest
inhabitant, several weeks after, some
what diverted the public mind, that
the startled citizens recovered from
the turn it gave them.
Mrs. Skeels enjoyed the seDsatioD
she had occasioued; aud took fre
quent walks past the corner grocery,
where she was regarded by the as
sembled hoys and clerks somewhat
iu the light of a circus.
Wheu Betsy became aware of the
trueslateof affairs, on the morning
of the eventful night of the elope
ment, she broke vials of her wrath
and poured out the contents, so to
speak, aud then, dressing herself iu
tier best clothes, stalked like au
avenging demon into the village,
and, appearing before the frighted
Maria in the little sitting room be
hind tiie shop—then and there for
gave her, anil took her and the dea
con home to tea, when a metaphori
cal calf in the form of a fatted chick
en, was hunted down aud served up,
a savory peace offering on the “big
blue meat dish” iu honor of the re
turning bride.

In a certain cemetery is a tomb with
this inscription:
This slone was raised by Sarah’s lord,
Not Sarah's virtues to record—
For they’tp w ell known to all 'he town—
But it was raised to keep Sarah down.”
We don’t know what ailed Sarah, but
we venture to say that if Sarah had had
Hunt s Remedy, her “lord” would not
have had the satisfaction of raising a
monument to her. Diseases of the kid
neys, liver and urinary organs keep
people down even more effectually
than monuments, but Hunt’s Remedy
is the great healer that overcomes these
diseases, and lifts men up to health aud
vigor. Many a man who is in a fair
way to have a monument in some cem

Hezekiah of old, a ebw lease of life by
taking Hunt’s Remedy.

Is the house coming down ?” ask
ed Mr. Merriman, looking up from
his sermon-like despairingly.
For there was a hurrying to and
fro from all quarters of the old man
sion, a running up and down stairs,a
subdued bustle, a murmur of excite
ment, and finally a gust of laughter
in mauy keys of elation, sounding
as if it came from the subterranean
recesses of the kitchen.
“No, papa,” cried the little Lottie
breathlessly; “but Minnie’s bread
has come out of the oven, and it’s a
success.”
"Oh;” said Mr. Merriman,abstract
edly, staring out of the window and
scratching his baldhead, “is that
all?”
“That all, indeed!” said Minnie,
herself, a very blooming girl, with
short flaxen hair curling all over her
head, light blue eyes and a pretty-
pug nose with just the proper up
ward inclination to give it a bewitch
ing-shape. Aud she rau into the
room with a big apron enveloping
her slim figure, and a fresh color
deepening on her cheek, while by
means of a stout kitchen towel she
held up a tin baking pan containing a
puffy, snow-white loaf of new bread.
“That’s all, papa; when it’s the first
bread I ever made,and when it’s to be
sent to the hospital fair to be cut in
to sand waches aud sold for the sick
poor at ten cents apiece! Look at it,
papa! smell of it! see how delicious
ly light it is! Aud then tell me if
you ever expected to have your little
Minnie turn into such a stupendous
housekeeper!”
And Miss Minnie Merrimau kissed
her father on the tip of his nose aud
looked at him with pretty girlish tri
umph.
“Y T ery nice—very creditable!” said
the clergyman beaming on his
daughter. “I date say you’ll make
a famous cook one of these days.”
“I only hope,” put iu Penny, the
second daughter (whose baptismal
name was Peoelope Dorcas.) "that
Mr. Ayton will come to the fair
and buy some of Minnie’s sandwich
es, and—”
Minnie turned short round, flush
ing pink to the rooks of her pretty
hair.
“Penny,” said she, “what non
sense are you talking, when you
know very well that Mr. Ayton is
sick with pneumonia. Andol course
he has sent a liberal subscription to
tue fair; and what can it possibly
matter who buys the bread?”
Penny subsided, rather abashed,
and Minnie ran down stairs again to
wrap the white spongy loaf iu a
snowy napkin and send Jerusha, the
bound girl, to the rooms of tiie fair
committee With it.
Now remember, Jerusha,” she
uttered impressively, as she held up
one finger to add force to her words,
“it is No. 19—19, do you hear?—19
Savilie street!”
“Yes'm,” said Jerusha, who wasso
demoralized at the prospect of a tern
porary reprieve from her dishwash
ing that she could hardly stand still
long enough to tie her bonnet.
And away she went, gamboling
down the street like a half-grown
elephant, with a carefully wrapped
up loaf of bread iu a basket on her
arm.
"My first loaf of bread!” said
Minnie to herself, as she leaned
against the window easing. “Ofi,
I’m so glad it it has turned out a
success!”
And then her thoughts wandered
to Mr. Harry Ayton. Would he be
well enough to cuine to the fair that
evening? Would he patronize the
refreshment hall? Would he think
her little pink-rff>b«neil apron with
the bib front becoming. Would he
— Oh, pshaw, this would never do!
Here it was 10 o’clock and the par
lors not dusted nor Billy’s Sunday
suit mended and brushed ready for
service.
While Jerusha, after giving her
impartial attention to a hand organ,
scissors grinder, and a street scuttle
between two belligerently minued
little boys, finally truged up the steps
of 90 Savilie street.
“Please, with Miss Minnie Merry -
ryman’s kind compliments,” said
she. “Please, and it's the first bread
she ever made; please, and she hopes
you’ll like it."
And Lois Jenkins, Mr. Harry Ay
ton’s faithful old nurse and house
keeper, carried the loaf of bread up
stairs to the room where the conva
lescent sat in the sunshine.
“And very kind of the minister’s
daughter,” she said, setting the par
cel upon the table. “And it’s as
beautiful light bread as ever I see.
Aud how thoughtful of ’em, Mr.
Harry, to remember you now, aiu’t
it? But Miss Minnie was a) ways one
for doing kind things to sick folks
ever since she was knee-high to a
grasstiopper—bless the dear little
soul!”
“Yes,” said Harry, slowly, "it is
kind, very kind, indeed. Couldn’t I
have a little of that fresh bread with
my beef tea at noon, Lois?” ;
“We’ll, see what the doctor says,
Mr. Harry,” said the old woman,
cheerfully. And anyhow if you
can’t have it to-day you shall have it
to-morrow.”
An hour afterward Mr. Merryman
himself came in—bald-headed, 'spec
tacled aud kindly-eyed—to make a
pastoral call. And Harry Ayton
broke abruptly into the good man's
rather prosy platitudes to ask the
question nearest his heart.
“Mr. Merryman, do you think it
possible that your daughter Minnie
could ever cars tor me?”
Mr. Merryman pushed his specta
cles high up on his forehead.
“My daughter Ifinnie?” he re
peated. “Why, she’s only a baby!
Seventeen last fall, my dear Harry.”
“My mother was iparfied at seven
teen.” said Ayton. smiling.
“Bless me,” said the good pastor!
“And now I come to think of it, my
wife was not eighteen wheu she and
I determined to try life together on
a salary of five hundred per annum
Dear, dear! how time does slip along,
to be sure! My daughter, Minnie,
eh?”
“Because,” said Mr. Ayton. brave
ly, “J love her. And of all the wo
men that ever I saw she is the only
one whom I would care to make my
wife.”
Mr. Merryman rubbed his Dose.
“My dear young friend,” be said,
"if 1 was my daughter Minnie I
should say yes. But I’m not. And
I don’t pretend to understand the
ins and opts of a woman’s heart. So
perhaps you’4 btfler ask hpr about
iL ”
“I will,'’ said Mr. Avton. "Uut I
may take it for granted that I have
your sanction?”
"By all means!” said the old gen
tleman; “by all means!”
“And you will prepare her mind
for a visit from me when I am a little
stronger?”
“Oh, certainly,” said Mf. Merry
man.
And absent minded as usual he
went home and forgot all about it.
At 3 o’clock pretty Miss Minnie
nut on her blue velvet capote and
neat little aack and went to No. 19
Savilie street to help prepare the re
freshments for the hospital fair.
“How do you like my bread?” she
asked of the lady superintendent
who stood at the big table with a
dozen white-ajroned young girls
gliding around her in various direc
tions. “The first I ever made.”
“What bread?” said Mrs. Ray
mond, lifting her eyebrows. “We
have received no bread from you,
Minnie.”
“Goodness gracious me!” cried the
minister’s daughter, clasping her
hands, “what has become of it then?
For I sent Jerusha with it at 10
o’clock, and she came back aud de
clared that she had delivered it all
right.”
“There has been some mistake, ev
idently,” said Mrs. Baymond. “And
I am sorry, for we are in great need
of real, nice home-made bread.”
Minnie hurried back home and
sternly confronted Jerusha, who was
surreptitiously buying a penny bal
lad of a boy at tiie area door.
“Jerusba,” said she, “you told me
that you delivered my bread all
right. ”
“So I did. Miss Minnie,” whim
pered Jerusha. “At No. 90 Savilie
street. Aud as you told me, Miss
Minnie'”
Minnie’s cheek grew scarlet and
then grew pale. She sat hopelessly
down on the edge of the kitchen ta
ble.
“Jerusha,” she cried, despairingly,
"you have been and carried my bread
and compliments to Mr. Ayton in
stead of to the hospital fair! Oh,
Jerusha, how could you make such a
dreadful blunder?”
Aud she ran up stairs to her fath
er in a sort of desperation.
“Papa,” she cried, “such a drtad-
ful tiling has liappeued. Oh! don’t
you thiuk you could help us out of it
in some way?”
And she related the complication
witli tears in her eyes.
“Hum! hum! ha!” said Mr. Merri
man, apparently hoisting his memo
ry out of the times of Herrodotus
with some unseen variety of mental
apparatus. “Y'es, I see. But you
don’t grudge poor Mr. Ayton the
bread, Mmnie, mydear, do you?”
“Oil, no, no,” cried Minnie.
"You don’t dislike him?”
“No, papa,” said the innocent girl,
"I think lie is ever so nice!”
“Well, thefl,”said this witty old
diplomatist, "8uppo-ie we both go
around there together and it cau all
he explaiued satisfactorily, and we
know, triy dear,' that iu the Good
B iok we are commanded to visit the
sick.”
So Miss Merriman aud her father
went to No. 90 Savilie street, where
Harry Aytou lay on a sofa, looking
very pale and interesting and, just
exactly as a lover ought to do. His
face brightened up at the sight o;
Minnie.
“Did you teil her, sir?” he de
manded of the minister.
u 'N-no,” confessed that worthy old
gentleman. “I thought perhaps you
Could tell her better yourself. So I
just contrived this little opportunity
—or, rather, it contrived itself. Aud
I'll go down stairs noivand talk with
Miss Jenkins about that passage iu
Revelations that always bothers her
go." ?• • •' -•
“What does it mean?” said Min
nie in bewilderment as her father
shuffled out of the room.
"it means,” said Mr. Ayton,
promptly, “that I love you. Dear,
sweet little Minnie, I have been
longing for yon in my heart all these
months, but until your sweet mes
sage to-day—”
“But 1 sent no message,” said
Minnie, blushing “celestial rosy
red,” “and no bread either. It was
all a mistake. They were both in
tended for the hospital fair.”
“But it isn’t a mistake that I love
you,” said Mr. Ayton; “and if j’ou
cannot teach yourself to care for me,
after all—”
“Oil, but I didn’t say tlia'!” con
fessed Minnie “At least—I thought
—I understood—”
And when Mr. Merryman having
quieted Miss Jenkin’s mind as to the
obsure passage in Revelations, came
back Minnie was engaged to Harry
Aytou.
“But you’ll iet the fair have the
loaf of bread, Harry?” coaxed Min
nie.
“Not a crumb!" said the lover.
“Du you suppose I would let anyone
but myself eat tiie first bread you ever
made, my darling? I’il send them a
check for $50 and let ’em buy their
own bread with it ”
And so tiie hospital fair didn’t get
Minnie Merrvman’s loaf of bread at
all.

He Would Lose in Pork —An
ncideut, related to illustrate the
simple honesty of the natives of a
sister state, who are represented as
being people whose promises may al
ways lie relied upon, is as follows:
“Iu the rural portion of the state re
ferred to there is a man who is an ac
knowledged leader in politics in his
district, and apiong his followers is a
fellow who has considerableinfluence
with the bummer element. Tue first
mentioned man has, amoDg other
worldly goods, quite a number of
hogs, and the other fellow used to
sboot one of the porkers whenever
he wanted some meat, because it was
easier to supply bacon this way than
to hustle for it. The boss politician
knew full well who it was iliat was
killing his pigs, hut not wishing to
lose the support of the fellow, be
never prosecuted him. The thing
got so monotonous, however, some
thing had to be done to stop the
slaughter; so one day the boss said to
the offender: ‘Bay, look here, I want
you to quit shooting my pigs. I de
sire to iet them grow to a proper siae
before they are killed, aud I want to
kill them myself. If you will give
me your word that you will not shoot
any more of them, I’ll agree to give
you oOO poundsof pork a year. What
do you say? Lit a bargain?’ ‘All,
right,’replied tho other;‘I give you
my word that I’ll not kill any more
of your swine on the terms you pro
pose;—but, after a pause, I’ll lo>e
pork by it.' ”

Tbe Calllnr Cards or PrlnnuM and
Slat«»aM*n—Fashionable Calls.
London, June 24.—Cards are a
most important factor in social life
the world over, but in London the
ruleof the hit of pasteboard is really
autocratic. The laws governing the
form of a visiting card and its use
are as strictly obeyed as any laws
made in that handsome building on
the banks of the Thames where
Gladstone aDd the nest debate more’
weighty matters. I saw the pre
mier’s visiting card in at Parkins &
Gotto’s yesterday. I went in there
to inform myself as to the latest Lon
don fashions in regard to cards. For
I know that, though we Americans
are wonderfully independent and
democratic; we like to know that our
cards are like those of the people who
know most about such things. Go
ing in for instruction, I remained for
amusement, and, and for half an
hour turned over the pages of scrap-
books bearing the names of half the
distinguished people in the kingdom.
ENGLISH VISITING CARDS.
All visiting cards are alike in this
—the plainest script is upon each
one. No fancy printing or writing
is seen upon one of them, either of
gentleman or lady. I must except
the card of the Princess Beatrice
This is a plain bit of thick paper,
engraved with the two words in an
Italian script. It seemed odd to see
just “Princess Beatrice” on the royal
maiden’s card. I don’t think I bad
expected to see “Miss Beatrice
Guelph,” but it does seem funny to
think that there are girls who don’t
have to have their last names in-
inscribed. If there had been a mon
ogram and a gilded crest, and soon,
it would have seemed less strange, I
suppose. In point of size, all ladies'
cards are like hers. They are a little
over three inches in length by two
in width.
It is not “good form” to have the
addresses eugraved with the name
on either a lady’s or gentleman’s
visiting card. That is reserved for
ladies’ “at home” cards. There
no difference between a young lady’s
card aud that of her mother. Gen
tlemen’s cards are very small. The
names of Mr. Alfred Tennyson or
Lord Russell appear in as small script
aud upon as microscopic scraps of
pasteboard as those of John Jenkins
or Thomas Jones. An “at home”
card is alwsys printed as I indicate,
with a little “a” aud a capital “H.”
“At homes” are nuite doing away
with
CALL-PAYING IN LONDON,
Except by means of cards. Yes.it
is no longer the fashion to go out upon
around of calls. A lady may make
out her list of visits owed and give
to herservaut a corresponding num
ber of cards, with her name thereup
on. While she takes her ease at home
these cards are left at the doors of
her “dear five hundred friends,” and
her duty to society is done. At first
thought one is apt to cry out at this
as a great sham, but after all it is not.
It is a genuine piece of sincerity.
Everybody has always known that
formal calls are not only insipid and
tiresome, but very taxing upon one’s
strength. Now the labor may be
done by a servant, and the lady keep
herself fresh for other duties or pleas
ures. If the lady choose she may go
about and leave her own cards at her
friends’ doors, but unless very inti
mate she is not supposed even to ask
if the people on whom she leaves the
cards are in. But on each “at home”
day she may go to see them. This
fashion brings gentlemen more into
afternoon society and so makes it
more agreeable. MeD who have a
ball or a round of calls will drop in
to “an afternoon” and enjoy it.
THE LONDON INVITATIONS.
Invitations are usually printed
now on very large plain cards, often
bordered with silver, never, of course,
with gilt. The old folded form is sel
dom used even for wedding iDvita-
ttous. People in mourning use deep
er black borders than ever before.
An invitation for a wedding is al
ways sent out at least a month before
the ceremony.
It is not considered good style fora
bride and groom to wait to receive
congratulations if going away on a
wedding journey. When they return
they send out cards to their friends.
Sometimes the bride’s mother sends
out the cards just after the wedding,
naming the date of return. The
proper thing in these cards is a satin
silver-edged card with thenameand
address of the new married pair
thereupon, and with the brido’s
maiden name on the fold of the invi
tation envelope, with a printed line
drawn through it. That indicates
that the young lady hag done with
that name, and seem3 to me a much
better idea than the old one of en
closing the girlhood card.
CORRESPONDENCE CARDS.
Y'oung ladies use “correspondence
cards” very much for written invita
tions and so on. It is a pretty fancy
for them to have their Christian
names in illuminated text across the
left-hand corner. Only square en
velopes are fashionable in any cor
respondence. Tinted papers are re
viving in fashion, dull pinks,
greys and greens being most used,
though a nice taste uses always white
or cream. The very latest in note
paper is the “middle age.” It is
something like papyrus, and has
ragged edges. I suppose it is very
high art, hut a sheet of it looks to me
a good deal like a dilapidated piece
of wrapping paper that came around
a box of matches.
The stomach furnishes natural sus
tenance for every organ. If disorder
ed, the whole body languishes; how
ever affected, its tone and vigor may
always be restored by using r«gulsrly

Christianity'.—The best defini
tion of Christianity as an inward and
outward life seems to me to be this;
“From God, for man.” Of this life,
which combines faith and works,
piety aDd charity, truth and love,
Christ is the Ideal. After criticism
has done its best or worst on tiie
records, Jesus still remains the source
to mankind of this Ideal. He will
stand for it before tiie human mind
forever. This Ideal i- alsjve all
i dogmasHnd all sects. Nothing hiyiier
can be imagined than the condition
of one who is inwardly felt by God’s
Spirit and is the medium of the Spirit
to bless bis iellowmen. “From God,
for man.”—Jame* Freeman Clarke
