Carrie’s Happy >ew Tear.
His First Earnings.
“Jennie Graves is going to have
just the loveliest set of furs for New
Year’s!” said Carrie Gardner, as
shq cacao home from a vi-sit “Her
sister showed them to toe. I said
I wished I had some like tltom;
and she said she should thiuk you
would get me some for a New
Year’s present, too. The* Jennie
and I would have something just
alike, and that would be so nice!
Can’t I have some, mamma? They
are so cheap this year!”
“Seems to me it was only last
winter that papa got a new set of
furs for his little daughter.”
“Yes, I know. But they wern’t
half so nice as these, and they’re
getting to look shabby, too,” replied
Carrie, with a disdainful look at
the muff shostill held in her hand.
“Why, I think they look very
well,” said Mrs. Gardner.
“They look shabby by the side of
Jennie’s, anyway; and I want some
new ones so bad! I never have as
nice a time on New Year’s as the
other girls do, anyway. They are
almost all of them going off some
where to spend the day, and I can’t
go; and I do think I ought to have
a nice present at least;”
“Do you know why you do not
enjoy Now Year’s as well as some
of your schoolmates do, my little
daughter?” said Mrs. Gardner. “1
think it is because you are frying
to get all the happiness you can
yourself, and do not try to add to
others’ happiness. Turn over a new
leaf this year, Carrie. Try to make
others happy, and see if you \yll not
have the happiest New Year’s Day
you ever had.”
“Can’t I have the furs, mamma?
I cannot be happy without them.”
“I think you can, little daughter,
if you go to work in tiie right way.
But we will not talk any moie
about it now. I wish to make a
call or two this afternoon, and it is
about time. Would you like to go
with me?”
“Whereare you going, mamma?”
“To call on a family by the name
of Taylor, who are very poor. They
have a little girl about your age
who is lame. Her father is sick,
and her mother has to support them
all. The little girl is a very sweet
child, and I think you will enjoy a
visit to her.”
In a little while Currie stood by
the bedside of the little cripple-
r ‘Do you have to lip right here all
the whole time?” said Carry. “I
should think you would get so tired
you couldn’t stay here. I should
want some one to carry me around
out of doors, aud amuse me all the
time.”
“Mother hasn’t time to do that.
I got along very well,” said the
girl.
“No,” said Mrs. Taylor, “poor
Helen does suffer for lack of care I
presume. But I do the best I can.
1 have been trying to earn money
to buy her a wheel-chair, so she
could wheel herself around a little:
but it is useless trying, I guess. Fif
teen dollars is a big sum for a poor
woman to lay up, besides supporting
her family.”
A day or two after, during which
time Carrie had - been unusually si
lent and thoughtful, she came to
her mother saying,—
“Haveyou asked papa aboutget-.
ting t hose furs for my.New Year's
presi'ut-T” ■
Her rnotWr replied in the affir
mative.
“And what did he say? Will he
get them, do you think, mamma ?”
“I think perhaps he .will, jj if yon
are a good girl."
“Please, mamma, I would rather
have the money it would cost to
spend as I please, if papa would
give it to me.”
“What do you wish to buy with
it ?” asked her mamma.
“I want to get a chair for that
poor little lame girl, mamma. I
think she needs it a great deal worse
than I need new furs. And, please,
don’t you think I may have the
money ? Her mother is so poor, it
will be a long time before she can
get it for her.”
Carrie’s mother gladly consented,
and so the chair was purchased;
and on New Year’s Day, Carrie and
her mother made another visit to
the poor child’s home, taking with
them the chair, together with some
iks, papers and toys, which Car
rie decided she could spare from
Among her own playthings.
Helen was so pleased with her
presents, that she knew not howTo
express her thankfulness; and her
mother was as much gratified as
she. h . % ■
Carrie felt hilly repaid for her
self-denial as she witnessed their
delight, and that evening said to
her mother:
“I do believe, mamma, this is the
happiest New Year’s Day I have
ever had. I have been so happy!”

“Father, may I have a piece of
ground for my very own ?” asked a
bright boy ten years of age.
His father looked much surprised.
“Why do you wish a piece of
ground, my son ?”
“I would like to raise some pota
toes, father.”
“Potatoes! What will you do
with them, Willie?”
“Sell them, father, and send the
money to the school in Cornwall
where heathen hoys are educated-”
The gentleman smiled at the
boy’s eager face. “Hoeing pota
toes is not easy work, Willie,” he
said doubtfully.
“I know that, sir, but I am not
afraid, of work. It will make me
stronglo know that L am helping
some poor heathen boy to become
a Christian.”
Willie’s face was full of earnest-
•ioss, and his father laid his hand
rently on his head as he said, “You
hall have the ground, my son,
■ mi do with it as you choose.”
Willie went to school that morn-
ng with a light little heart. He
soot: told his plan to a little piay-
n ite, and the two lads entered in
to a partnership for the cultiva
tion of the promised plot of land.
It was a dry, hot summer, and
the ground which Willie’s father
gave him was very difficult to hoe.
ft was full of upturned pieces of
sod. The boys were not to be dis
couraged in their good work, how
ever. - Throwing aside their-coats,
they toiled with a will, and the sod
which gave them so much trouble
proved their best friend in the end.
It served to protect the growing
potatoes from the fierce heat of the
sun. The little plot devoted to
charity yielded a fine crop, while
many broad fields produced almost
nothing.
It was a proud moment in Willie’s
life when he drove his wagon load
of potatoes to market, and gave his
first hard earnings to the Cornwall
school.
He afterwards became very rich,
but he never forgot his boyish am
bition to do good. William E.
Dodge—for lie was the noble boy—
will long be remembered for the
many deeds of mercy with which
his loug-and useful life was filled.

BREWSTER’S BURIAL.
A Fan
ions Texas’s Singular Reqaest
Fulfilled to the Letter.
Speech on a Hat.
The man who thinks it an easy
task to write an editorial or to-
make a speech .should make the ex
periment The editor is always
ready to pay for an attractive “lead
er,” and the people willingly listen
to any one who can address them
acceptably. Not a few men who
lire by manual labor envy those
whose ability to write or speak se
cures them a livelihood. If they
would try either, the result might
send them back to the work bench,
sadder but wiser men.
A Boston boy, while learning the
carpenter’s trade, worked beside a
journeyman who was always com
plaining that fate had forced him to
be a mechanic, though he had in
him the making of an orator. He
said that he asked for no easier task
than to preach two sermons a week
or to argue a case before a jury.
The apprentice while pupil at th“
Boston Latin School, had belonged
to a debating society. He knew by
experience of many failures how
hard it was to deliver a logical
speech of even ten ■ minute dura
tion.
One morning when the journey
man had uttered-iiis chronic com
plaints, the boy Mid to him, “I will
give you a new hat, if, taking that
fora topic, yon will speak, upon it
intelligently for ten minutes before
the whole shop.”
The offer was accepted and the
trial was arranged for the “noon
ing” of that day. During the fore
noon the journeyman meditated
his speech and at noon mounted a
chair, amid the applause of his fel
low-workmen.
He began by talking about the
antiquity, styles and uses of the
hat, and for six minutes, spoke with
fluency and to the point. -Then he
hesitated, talked incoherently for a
minute longer, and jumped down
amid the laughter of his audience.
Seven minutes speaking exhausted
his knowledge of the subject and
showed him that it is not an easy
acquirement to be an orator.
He never after had a word to say
about the easy life of preachers.
A Word About Beds.
The remains of Col. H. Perry
Brewster, late State Commissioner
of Insurance, arrived at Galveston,
from Austin, Texas, Dee. 31, and
were buried at sea, in • accordance
with the dying reqaest of the de
ceased. Col Brewster served in
the San Jacinto war; and was first
Adjutant General of Texas, and
served as Chief of Staff under Gen.
Albert Sydney Johnson in the late
war; passed his-Ufe on land, but was
strongly Infatuated with a desire to
be bnried at sea. He first made
known his peculiar desires in this
respect to his bosom friends, Gen.
John M. Claiborne snd Col. Jack,
while lying together under a tree
just before the openingengagement
of th“ battle of Shiloh. Afterward,
•luring tiie progress of the war, he
frequently repeated the request to
several army friends. He said he
lesired to be buried in sixty fat-h-
misof waterat high meridian. His
theory was that at that particular
depth the pressure of the water was
just sufficient density to keep the
human body quietly upon the bot
tom.
Prior to his death in the city of
Austin Sunday, Dec. 28, Judge
Brewster repeated to his daughter
his last wishes in regard t; the dis-
position of his body. Miss Brews
ter communicated with Gen. Clai
borne and other friends of this city,
and it was determined to carry out
the last request of the father. Gov.
I reland placed the little State steam
er Hygiea at the disposal of Miss
Brewster fertile purpose of carrying
the body to sea.
At 10 o’clock the remains, under
military escort, were placed aboard
the Hygiea and the last solemn
travel to the sea began. The local
ity selected for burial was a place
where nine years ago the steamship
Waco was burned, witli great loss of
life. Many old army friends of the
deceased accompanied the remains
Miss Brewster, yielding to the en
treaties of friends, parted forever
from the remains of her honored
fatner at the point of embarkation.
The sea was veryrough, and the
little steamer braved the waves un
der the hand ortho, experienced pi
lot. Several tugs and pilot boats ac
companied, the fnneral boat, and the
shipping in the harbor flew their
flags at half mast. At exactly 12
o’clock, being well out at sea, Gen.
Claiborne briefly recited the histo
ry of his friend, and gently consign
ed the casket to the water, which
instantly sank beneath the waves
of the angry gulf.

Uncle Billy’s Superstition About
Brooms.

tier always let de broom part be
>>n de flo’ an’ de hanel stickin’ up,
^ase if you don’t bad luck gwine
;o dttt house des as sho’ as you do

This was a queer statement in the

dea being ridiculed, Uncle Billy
appealed to a colored man whom
he called Dick, whereupon Dick
enthusiastically indorsed his old
partner by declaring:
“Unk’ Billy is talkin’ de right sort

ever you do, doan come ter ray
house an’ set a hroom up de wrong
way, an’ let her stay dat way ober
night.”
Dick further strengthened his tes
timony on the broom question by
saying: “Ef you think dis ain't de
truf, doan let man make pass at
you wid a broom what bin settin’
up de wrong way ober night, kaze,
ef you does, you gwine ter jail,

Many great cooks make extra
trouble in preparing a force-meat
stuffing for turkey, of veal, ham, ba
con, onions, potatoes or bread
crumbs, aud all sorta-of things. But
the ordinary, old-fashioned stuffing
for a turkey is generally liked the
best. Take the soft part of good,
light bread (not the crust), and do
not wet it as is usually done, hat
rub it dry and fine, and work into
it a piece of butter the size of an
egg. Season with salt, pepper and
summer savory. Add to this a doz
en or more oysters, whole, and it
will be very flue. Some good cooks,
who are ruled by taste, and not by
books, add to a stuffing like the
above large chestnuts, boiled. The
chestnuts are put on a fire in a
saucepan or spider to burst the
skins; they are then boiled in very
salt water or stock, then mixed with
the stuffing whole. Serve with a
chestnut sauce.

Excuses.
There are well-meaning people in
the world who seem to believe that
the exercise ol hospitality demands
a. perpetual making of excuses
They weary their guest by depre-.
ciating what they offer him. He
would fain extract all possible good
from his visit, thankfully enjoy all
that is provided, and thrust all de
ficiencies out of sight, but they will
not let him. Usually the better
their hospitable offerings, the more
profuse their apologies.
The guest, chilled from a long
drive enters a cozy room, and as he
thaws out before a glowing fire,
congratulates himself that he has
fonnd perfect comfort; but the host
interposes an excuse for the miser
able fire, as he terms it, and goes in
to distressing details concerning
the obstinacy of his wood or coaL
The guest is escorted to the dining
room, where, enhanced by snowy
cloth and glittering ware, a goodly
array of eatables tempt the palate,
and commit him to a most hearty
response to the invitation to return
thanks. Buthesearcely pronoun
ces “amen” ere he is delnged with
excuses. The host laments over
the toughness of the juicy steak,
and the hostess regrets that her
golden brown biscuit are burned,
and her amber coffee is muddy, and
so on to the end of the chapter.
The best hospitality is gentle and
unobtrusive, and refrains from tire
some apologies. It assumes that
the host has done all that he is able
to do to cordially welcome his guest
and that henee, there is nothing to
be apologized for. .If there is some
mishap or unavoidable delinqnency
which loudly calls for an exense, it
is mentioned briefly and dismissed.
This highest type of hospitality
brings such charms of personal
presence and thought, such treas
ures of brain, sonl and heart to
the feast, that even, though the
steak happeustobe tough, the bis
cuit horned, and the coffee muddy,
the guest will swallow them all un-
heedingly, and believe that he sat at
% banquet fit for gods.

1 Jadge’s Riddle.
One of the most distinguished
American judges, while sitting witl
his family, a as roused from hh
book by the uproarious shouts o;
his children at a very badly rhym
ed riddle which one of them ha<
made, and said he coaid makea bet
ter one about anything in the room.
“Oh. do!” was the'cry, when he im
mediately wrote down these lines:
My first connects related words;
My second forms the sharpest avoids:
My whole supports the forests pride,
Dispensing heat on every side.
This was morethan half a centu
ry ago, and the answer may be well
known to riddle people, but it will
be new to most people. Every
Other Saturday [The answer to the
riddle evidently ls “Andiron”—Ed].
The firm lesson taaght in Mason
