A cheerful siutb room, with a
bay window full of blossoming
plants: a bright fire glowing be
hind a burnished grate; a carpet
whose soft, velvety pile was shad
ed in blues and wood colors to
correspond with tho damask cov
ered furniture; and a little gilded
clock, which had just struck nine
at night—all these things met Mrs
Chickerly’s eye as she laid down
he r book and yawned as widely as
her rips cherry of a mouth would
admit
She was a plump fair faced
young matron of some four or five
and twenty, with bright auburn
hair, soft b/ueeyes, and a com
plexion whose roses stooa in “no
need of artificial rouge to highten
their charms, while her dress of
soft crimson merino was exquisite
lj adapted to her semi-blonde
style.
‘‘Fannie,” said Mr. Cbickerly,
looking up from bis newspaper,
“did you call ou those Carters to
day 1"
“No; I never tLougbt of it.’
“And they leave town to-mor
row morning; and Carter is ab
surdity sensitive to all slights,
fancied or real. Fannie, I desired
you to make a point of calling.’’
“Well, I did intend to, Flank,”
pouted Mrs. Cbickerly, “but ouj
cau’t think of everything.”
“You cannot, it seems.”
“It appears to me tka' you are
making a mountain out of a mole
hill,” said Faunie, rather tartly.
“It may affect my business very
seriously. Carter's house carries
great influence with it.”
Mrs, Cbickerly was silent, pat
tiug the velvet carpet with her
foot in a manner that indicated
some annoyance.
“I shall have 10 leave here very
early ie-morrow morning,” said
her husband, presently.
“To go to Hcenersville, about
Aunt Elizabeth’s will
“Yes.”
“Oh, I woulou’t, Frank.' 1
“Why, not ?”
“It’s such bitter cold weaihet
to travel in, and Aunt Elizabeth
is such a whimsical old woman,
it's as likely as not that' she’ll
change her mind about making a
will when you get there. I would
wait a little if I were you.”
Mr. Chickerly smiled.
“That w >uld be your system of
doing things. Fanny, Lu‘. not
mine.”
“My system, Frank ! What do
you mean f”
“I mean that you believe in put
ting things off indetinitely, and
nol always in the wisest manner.
I wi»h you'd break yourself of that
habit, Fannie. Believe me. it will
some day bring you to grief.”
Mrs Cbickerly contracted her
pivtty eye brows.
“I don’t believe iu being lectur
ed, Frank.”
“And I don't very often lecture
you, my dear; pray give me credit
for that.”
“You didn’t think you were mar
rying an angel wheß you took me,
1 hope ?’’
“No, my love. I thought I was
marrying a very pretty little girl,
whose few faults might easily be
corrected."
‘■Faulte! Have I any great
faults, Frank ?"
“Little faults may some'im*sen
tail greai consequences, Fanny."
“If you sold me any more I
shall go out of the room."
“You need rot, for I am going
myself to pack my valise. By the
way, there’s a buttou off the shirt
I waut to wear to morrow. I
wish you would comb upstairs and
sew it on for me."
“£ will, presently.”
‘ Why can't you come now ?”
“7 just waut to finish this book;
there’s only one more chapter
And Fanny opened her volume
so resoiutely that her husband
thought it best not to contest the
question.
Kitting all alone in front of the
bright tire, Mrs. Chifkerly grad
ually grew drowsy, and before she
knew it she uad drifted off into
the shadowy regions of Ireamland.
She was roused by th 6 clock
staking eleven.
Lawrenceville Georgia, Tuesday July 8, 1884
“Dear me, how late it is !” she
thought with a little start. ‘1
must go upstairs immediately.
There, I forgot to tell the cook
about having breakfast at five to
morrow morning, and of course
shes abed and asleep by this time
111 be up early enough to see to
ii myself—that will be just as well.’
And layiug this salvo to hereon
science, Mrs. Chickerly turned off
l he gas aud crept drowsily up the
si lira.
fanny; Fanny, its past five,
and cook hasn't come down stairs
yet. Are you sure you spoke to
her last night ”
d/rs. Chickerly rubbed her eyes
and stared sleepily around.
“Oh, Frank, I forgot all about
speaking to her last night,” she
cried with conscience stricken
face. “But I’ll run right up—she
can have the breakfast ready in a
few minutes.”
She sprang out of bed. thrust
her feet in a pair of silk-lined elip
pers, and threw a shawl over her
shoulders.
Mr. Chickerly bit his lip and
checked her.
“No need, Fanny,” he said, a lit
tie bitterly. “I must leave the
bouse in fifteen minute] or miss
the only through truin. It’s of
no use speaking to cook now.”
“I am so sorry, Frank.’’
Mr. Chickerly did not answer ;
he was apparently absorbed in
turning over the various articles
iu bis bureau-drawer, while Fanny
sat shivering on the edge of tne
bed, cogitaiing how bard it was
for her husband to start on a long
journey that biiter morning with
out any breakfast.
“I can make a cup of cofl'ee my
self over the furnace fire,” she ex
claimed, springing lo her feet.—
But Mr. Cbickerly again inteipos
ed :
“Sit down, Fanny, please. I
would rather you would sow this
button ou the neck of ray shirt. I
have packed the others—those
that are fit to wear. I have shirts
enough, but none in repair.
Fanny crimsoned as she remem
bered how often, in the course of
the last month or two, she had
solemly promised herself to de
vote a day to the m job needed re
novation of her [husattnd’s shirts
She looked around for her thim
ble.
“I left it down stairs last night
I’ll get it in a minute.”
The housemaid had just kin
dled a fire in the sitting-room grate
it was blazing and crackling cheer
ily among the fresh coals, and Fan
ny could not resist the temptation
of pausing a moment to warm her
chilled fingers and watch thegreen
ish-purple spires of flame shoot
merrily up the chimney, until she
heard her husband’s voice calling
her imperatively ;
“Fanny, Far uy! what are you
doing ?”
“Oh, dear,” thought the wife as
she ran upstairs. “I wish Frank
wouldn’t be so cross. He’s al -
ways iu a hurry.”
Lit'.le Mrs. Cbickerly never stop
ped to think that the reason was
that she was never “in a hurry.”
The needle threaded, the thim
ble fitted ou, an appropriate but.
ton was next to be selected.
“Oh, dear, Frank, 1 haven't on e
the right size !”
“Sew on what vou have, then
bat be qnick !”
But Fanny was quite certain
there was “just the right button”
somewhere in her workbasket.and
stopped to search for it.
“There,l told you so,” she cried
triumphantly holding it up on the
point of her needle.
“Well, well, at»w it on quick,’
said Mr. Chickerly glancing at his
watch nervously.
“That's just your worrying way,
Frank; as if anybody could sew a
button on well in a hurry. There!
my needle has come unthreaded !"
‘•Ob, Fanny, Fanny!” sighed
her husband, fairly out of patience
at lasi, “why didn’t you do it last
night, as I begged of yau? I shall
miss the train; and what little
chance we had of a place in Ann
Elizabeth’s will be sacrificed to
your miserable habit of being al
ways beliiudhan 1.”
Fanny gave him ihe shirt and
begau to whimper a little; but Mr
Chickerly had neither the time
devoted to news, literature and local affairs
uorthe iuclinatioo to pause to
soothe her petulant manifestation
of grief. He finished his dress
iug, caught up his valise with a
hurriedly-spoken “good by.” and
run down stairs, two steps at a
time, into the street.
“There he goes.’’ murmured
fanny; “and he s gone away erosa
with mo, and a.l for nothing but a
miserable button ! 1 wish there
wasn t such a thing as a button in
the world. (A wish which, we
much misdoubt, many anotner
wife than Mrs. Fanny Chickerly
has echoed, with perhaps better
reason.)
Mrs. Chickerly was sitting down
to her little dinner a la solitaire
with a daintily browned chicken,
tumbler of currant jelly and a cur
ly bunch of celt ry ranged before
her, when, to her surprise, the
door opened and in walked her
lord and husband.
“Why, Frank, where on earth
did you come from*” cried tje as
tonished wife.
“From the office," coolly answer
td Mr. Chickerly.
‘-But 1 thought you were off for
Scentrsville, in such a hurry?”
“I found myself just five min
utes too late for the train, after
having run all the way to the de.
pot.”
“Oh, that was too bad!"
Chickerly smiled a little aa he
began to carve the chicken.
“Yes, I vas a little annoyed at
first: it did seem rather provoking
to be kept at home by only a but
ton.’
“What are you going to do?”
“Why I shall make a second
start to-morrow.”
“I’ll see to ii thatyour breakfast
is ready this time to a second, and
all your wardrobe in trim,” said
Fanny, rather relieved at the pro#
pect of a chance to retrieve her
character.
“You need not. 1 have enga
ged a rouiii at a hotel near the de
pot. I can’t run any more risks.”
He did nol speak unkindly, an 4
yet Fanny felt that he was dis
pleased with her.
4 But Frank ”
“We will not discuss the matter
any further, my love, if you please
I have resolved to say nothing
more to you about reforms. I see
it is useless and it only tends to
foster an unpleasant state of feel
ing between us. Shall I help you
to some macaroni?”
And fairly silenced, Fanny ate
her dinner with what appetite was
left to her.
Three days afterward Mr. Chick
erly once more made his entrance,
just at dusk, carpet-bag in hand
as Fanny sat enjoying the ruddy
shine of the coal-fire and the con
sciousness of having performed
her duty in the mending and gen
eral renovating of her huband’s
drawerful of shiris—a job which
she bad so long been dreading
and postponing.
“Well how is Aun*. Elizabeth ?’’
questioned Fanny when her hue
band, duly welcomed aud greeted,
had seated himself in the opposite
easy chair.
“Dead," was the brief reply.
“Dead ! Oh, Frank ! Of her
old enemy, apoplexy ?”
“Yes."
“Was her will made?”
“It was. ztparently she bad
expected me, on the day she her
self had appointed ; and on my
non arrival in the only train that
stops she sent for a village lawyer
made her will, and left all her
property to the orphan asylum
in Scenersvill. with a few bitter
words to the effect that the neg
lect of her only living nephew
had induced her on the spur of
the moment to alter her original
intention of leaving it to him.
She died the very next morning
“Oh, Frank, how much was
it?”
“Ten thousand dellars."
ybere was a moment or two of
silence, aud then Mr, CbDkerly
added, composedly.
“You see, Fanny how muck
that missing button has cost
me!”
Fanny Chickerly sat like one

From the best quality of kerosene

it is safe. But the moment the
gas mixes with th« atmosphere
it beco »es explosive and danger

•why it is never safe, under any
circumstances, to fill a lighted
lamp, or to pour kerosene from a
can on a burning fire,
The lamp needs filling; there

So, too, there is explosive gas

safety only shows that the condi

used in a defective lamp, or with
any but the extremist care, there
would be an explosion.
Always remember that it is a

A late friend and neighbor of
mine in the country kept a mon
key who took to riding his hogs,
especially one of them, wliiqh he
commonly singled out as fittest
for his use and, leaping upon its
back, with his face toward the tail
he whipped it unmercifully, and
drove it about t.i.l it could r-n no
’onger. A well known noblemen
onee had a wild horse whom no
body could ride. “I know nol
win t your lordship can do with
him," said one, “but to set the
monkey upon !uh back.” So they
put a pad to the horse, and set
the men key upon it with a switch
in bis hand, which lie used upon
the horse, and set, him into a furi
ous kicking and galloping; but,
Peg kepi his seat, and exercised
his swi'ch. The horse lay upon
the ground, but.when he threw
bi.nself on one side, tho monkey
was up on the other. He ran iu
to a wood with him. to brush him
"ft; but if a tree or a bush ecenred
oa one side, the monkey slipped
to the other side; till m lasi the
horse was so sickened, fatigued,
and broken spirited, that lie ran
home to the stable for protection
When the monkey was remove,-, *
boy mounted him, who managed
tho horse with ease’, and he never
gave any trouble afterward.
