They then hired a little room to gether, paid equal parts of it hum Ihe rent, and went partners in ibeir frugal housekeeping expenses and when they drank their coffee their Vienna roll opposite <ach oiher, across a dainty ii tie table they felt a, if ihey had a home once more. .Miliy was a fair pleasant look ing girl with soft blue eyes, brown hair, and a fresh red and white complexion ; Josi was tall, dark ind pale, with glossy black hrir and large dark brown eyes—a very handsome girl, a* was often re marked by ladies when sne served diem with a rather queenly air. 7 he gills were a direct contrast in pels<jmile appehranee- —another reason for their attraction toward each -o'her. Miliy and los e had not large salaries —the firm which employed hem was nci remarkable for gen <-r sity ; quick sales small profit and very small salaries was the rule, in the ‘Vre.it emporium,’’ However, by dint of incessant economy ami by leason of sharing (!xpeues,*ilidy ana Josie contrived o put aiide a small sum weekly toward a little fund fora great Thanksgiving clebration. '1 hey were both New Englann girls, and in their childhood's dav B that day had ever been one of great rejoicing aud much merry making iu ihe homes tha‘ remain ed row only as a beautiful memo ‘7- ‘,But for once they determined to make i 1 as much as much of a joyous reality as he Right ofyears and loss of friends and rela/ives would allow. They iaid oui in im uagiuation qui e a sumpious en tertainment ; and on counting up i.teir savings a few day before the festive occasion, aud tiuding that they amounted to the magnificent sum of ten dollars, both girls felt justified in inviting a few friends to help them eat their turkey. Airs. Hobson, their landlady, promised to roast the noble bird ind asked permission to contrib ute a m ; nee and a omnpkm pie while the girls themselves under t. iok the cooking of the cranberry since and vcg< tables on their own tiny gas stove —for each felt 'hat half the fun of toe entertaiummt would be lost unless they ptrson aiy superintended a p°’t:on of the cooking.

When she reached the lower hall, she wailed for Jooie befo' e q e: i ig the uoor.

M lly hurried np the remain ing stair, and haste ied into their room. Josie was wildly searching about the apartment, moving ta ble chairs, bureau—even the bed in a state of niter despiar ami bewilderment. “I\ hat in the wcrld is the mat ter. Have you iosi anything !” “Any i Ling ? Everything !’’was ‘he iragic reply, wi'h an appropi ate tone and gesture. The mon ey ! Our ten dollars is gone !” “Good gracious !—but is it pos sible. “J/i!!y gasped for Lreaih, and eank in'c the nearest chair, with even grea/er ileßpiur writien on lier countenance ihau had jubt given rise to her merriment when she saw it depicted on her friends fice. But Josie didn’t laugh. The situation was far too serious for her to »ej any comic ph ise in it. “So I thought, to j when I first misled it ; bui I have hearcLed every coi net c f the room, every inch of the carpet, every impos sible and possible place, and the appalling fact becomes more con vincming—the money is gone Again and again every article in die room was moved out of its place, and every likely and unlike ly nook and crevice searched, but without success. Occasionally a remark wss made by one or the other of the girls, and absently replied to ; and B.ill the search went on, until, tired out, they both sat down and dis pairingly removea bonnet, jacket imd gloves. There was now nc occasion for going out ; the marketing to to which they bail looked forward with bo much pleasure, was no lengir possible. lustead /hey must find some way sending word to their invited guesis that inforeseericircumstan ces had interposed to prevent their little festiviiy. Josie waj quite heart broken, blaming nereelf lor her careless ness ; and though Miliy tried to conduit her, she could not help thiuking that she would have b«en more careful of the treasu re they had so long favhfuGy striven for. Aud, to mika everyihiny worse an unrni slekablc, though indes scribale, coldness sprang up these warm friends. “You aud Josie King are not such frit nds as you nse.l to be,” remarLed a second acquaintance to JUilly Barry, some weeks la/ er. The speaker was Kale Weeks, ous of the patty who hud been in vited to the Thanksgiving dinner which iieoer look place; aud the youug git’e cham ed to be 'alking ogether for a few moments dur iag the brief noontime. “No, wo are not —though I ove ./nsie King d< a Iy, and al ways shftM,” returned MiHy “The rouble da esfrom the loss of that unfortunate feu dollars.

The idea o' such a thing 6eems so unuttor- Hble mean! Ob, dear! I nad ratt er have lost ten thousand dollars than have given way to ihe wick id thoughis aud douots forceu ou ae by the loss of that wretched ten,” A youug man, who was passing along ihe crowded aisle of the em lurium at that moment, chauc ei io overhear these words; for Hi her txci ement, Miliy raised her voice, ai d spoke with great dislin ctness. This young man looked at her with malted attention, and before he left the s/ore he had, by m ic! perseverance, and by : s-uming liik most engaging manners adipidy' managed to asceriwiii Milly’s name find also her place of residf-noo," without e./btr giving oflense subjecting himself to a snubbing for his curiosity. /’hat evening, Josie aud Millju, were much startled by tAe receit of u card sent up) by a gentleman who had asked for them both, and was now waitiug in the p irlor. “Swy we will come down,” said Josie to ihe griping niaiil-of-nIT work, who evidently shared their timrzetnen l , for neilher Miss B:u-. ry nor Miss King had ever reieiv ed a masculine visitor hi fore since taking up their abode in those lots” gins. "Albert Merton,” Josie read Iroin the card, ns the d'or closed behind iho seryan'. ‘I knew < f no such person. It must be some friend of yours Miliy.” “No indeed! I m ver heard the the gentlemans tame Ik lore. But it’s a very pretty name. Sup* prose we go and s-.e if the owner is worthy of his name.” Both girls hastened to the par lor, and a tall, good looking, ele gant young man, "quite as pretty as his name, Miliy snb.-equeutly remarked, rose to meet /. em. “Miss Barry,” he. bowed to Mil ls ‘ and Miss King,” he bowed to Josie “I trust you will not cor.sid er this an intrusion when I explain that 1 come to return something be'onging to you both, which has chanced to get into my posses siou.” “lmposßiole, I think! We hi»V6 lost nothing— at leas' I have not.” And Josh looked toward Mil iy- Nor I!’ replied ibaS young la dy, emphatically’ “Am you quite sent” smiled, ihe visiior: “A certain ten-dollar bill was biown in my face by a stray gust ot wind last Thanks giving Eve, just as I was piassitig tins house, end I imvebeen on the lookout for the owNer ever since Something I c' anced to overhear to day led me he»-e.” “A ten dollar bill?” b-th gills ex Gained at once. And Miliy added, in self re pioaeb. “The window was open, Josie, I stepped across <he room to close it, and I never remembered V. afterward. How wrong of me! It would have explained every thing.” Aud without a word more both girls rushed toward eacli other and exchanged a fervent embrace. Mr. Merton smiled anti seemed to unders'ant. although neither of th* girls lemeinbeied his piresence just then. ‘ But it may not be our len dol lars Mfter all.” “That is easily tested,’’ said !o sie. “x exchanged our money for the hi 1 at the bture ihat day; and having my pencil iu Land ut ihe lime, I wrote on the back of it our initials,‘M. and J.’, inclosed in a circle.’ “/ind here it is!” langbed young Merton, taking a crisp nMe fro u his packet and smoothing it out, so that the maik was p ainly visi ble on the reverse side “So like you Josie,” said Miliy taking possession of the money. “I shall take care of ii this time.” Josie made no answer, but her quick, nr is/ic eye, noted the sfrorg. white, well shaped hand on which the bi)/ had res ed; and some how, ‘he iook of admiration was caught by the dark, blue eyes of the owner of that hand. Josie King blushed violently, and looked so handsome that t - belt Mertou instinctively uttered an exclamation. •■Oh, Miss King, you will for give me, I know! ’ he explained. “Bui lam mi Hilist, and ai iLu/ rrome it the turn of your bead aid the expression of your free, jus/ realized the ideal I have been en gaged on. It’s a charming sub ject—if you would o»dy gram me iho piivilege of a sitting to sketch your head. ’ Miliy discreetly withdrew to a distance, aud pretended to ex amine the recovered ten dohar bil/. Josie uid not grant the young artist’s request immediate- ly, but Let refusal w..s not of a character to rendot him hopeless.

A few brief rules from tnis pamphlet are given below : Feed liberally ; have pure water alwuys accessible, and keep a rnixt ore of equal parts of salt, ashes and sulphur within reach of Die cows.

When milk is kepit over night to be carried to a factory, the ii m pHuature should be reduced as low as 60 degrees. If milk is set at home for cream the sooner it can tie set after milk ing and the higher the tempera ture tile bet er, ns cream rises best and almost wholly while the tempieittture is falling. Never reduce the tempieraiure be dw lot ly degrees, as a lower temperature h>s a tendency to chill the product and injure its keeping quality, and it also ex pands the water, rendering its rel a iveiy greater den si y less in stead of increasing it. To go 5 degress below 40 degites would have practically Lhe same effect as raising the temperature 5 degrees and to that extent retard the ris ing of the ere an. Skim as soon as the cream is ail up, or so much of it as yon wait to take from tbe milk. -Keep your cream, if not churn til immediately, at a tempieraiure of 64 degiees or below, but not be low 40 dtgie, s.

Iho other day a little cherub of but b very few summets, sat at the window of her residence on East Fourth Street, wluu a genu mo dude walked weari y by. His legs were phantom like, his slio* s long and pointed, his drees fo 4 - pish, he wore a single eye glass and carried a diminutive rattan cane. As lie stated about idioea - iy the little one said: “Mama, d d Dod make’at mar ? “Yes, my darling.’’ Tbe litile one looked again and giggled, and with a merry twinkle in her eye said : “Mama, Dod likes have fun des’ as much as anybody, don’t he."

"You never could put anything in yonr month to steal away your brains. Just shut off the morality lecfure and produce the old stuff.” The barkeeper did. With all liisfauhshe was goed imtured and he admired the nerve of the trampr. When the tramp} had dis posed of the poison, tie said -. “It makes me tir6d to hanr a loi of moral sayings : DMan is known by ihe company he keeps,’ -a soft Bniwrr lurneth away wrath,’ and hundreds of other chestnuts.— Why don’t they get tome new sayings T” “Where can ilioy get ’em ?" ask ed the barkeeper “Why, R t 'em go to a pdiiloso - pber ana have ’em written; what’s the ma ter with/hat ?

As it was not piracii cable to return the provisions to the lawful owner, /he Col. would have /hem served up> at his own Mess I able, to “keej them fiorn going to waste ’’ Asa consequence, the Col. was cors'ially bn ted by many of his men, nnd many were die plans laid down by tuern “to get even’ aud circumvent him, but owing to his astuteness, they generally come to grief. One day a soldier of the regi men i, who had the reputation of being a “firs! class, single handed forager J’ but who had neverthe l&ts been repeatedly compelled to disgorge his irregu arly procured supply of fresh meat, and as re peate lly to paHs nn interval of his valuable time in ihe Regimental Bull Pen, slipped awniy from camp aud, after an absence of sev eral hours, returned with a loaded haversack and tried to get to his tent without at/racting any atten don. Hb was noticed, however airested. and escoried to Regimen tal Headquarters. “Omar, yotiinferial scoundrel, you Lave been foraging again,’’said the Colonel. “No, I haven’t.” “Haventeh! I.e's see what’s in your hawrsack. Leg o’ mut ton, eli! Killed some person's slieepi,” said the Colonel. Omar ivns sent to the O' utird House as usu il, and tfie forugen property to Die Colonel’s cook. The regimental Mess, consisting of most of the Field and Staff offi 3ers, had fresh meat for supiper and breakfasi. During the latter mea 1 , toe Colonel hap p ened to look out fro'» under the tent fly. that was in use as a Mess room, and noticed Omar, who was under gnard dealing iip> nroutid head qu.ir . rs, eyeing him very closely “Will, pirisoner, what is it?’ “Noll in", Col i el,” replied Oman “except 1 was just wonder ing how ou liked vu'.ir breakfast of riid 1 i'.” CuDstei nation blazed the party at the tahie.
