KITTY’S GRANDMOTHER.
BY MRS. SAKGSTER.
•‘It’s perfectly, impossible to please
grandmother, and I do not mean
to try any longer,’’ said Kitty, ad
dressing her friend, Miss Theo, the
new teacher at the academy.
All the girls were in love with
Miss Theo. They admired, hei pret
ty dresses, the way she wore her
hair, the flowers at her belt, and the
gold cross and sparkling crystal
which hung from her watch-chain.
Privately every girl in the class
•was determined when she should
iif grown up, to dress and move ex
urtly like Miss Theo; to be seen
summer and winter, with a- flower
or a geranium leaf shining in dain
ty sweetness somewhere, either at
the throat or waist; and, if so love
Jy a tiling coalri be f >und, to have a
crystal for clearness and a cross foi
plainness, precisely like those worn
by the darling teacher.
■‘Darling” was the name that fit
ted her best; the girls all thought of
her in just that sweet and caressing
manner, and more than blessed
was site whom Miss Theo sent on
an errand, whose pen Miss Theo
borrowed, or by whose desk Miss
Then sat to relate one of her won
derful after-luncheon stories.
The best thing uliout it all was
that the girls, consciously as well
ns unconsciously, were making
lovely Miss Theo their model in
more than mere externals. They
copied hpr gentleness, her low, soft
ly modulated tones, her pleasant,
“1 beg your pardon,” and ‘‘Thank
you, dear;” and more than one
mother was delighted in the charm
which she saw growing in her Su
sy, Jenny or Sally, a charm never
t-be attributed to mere arithmetic
or analysis.
But Kitty, poor orphaned Kitty
Burst ns, who lived with her grand
mother in the wee brown house (
not much bigger than a wren’s hest
hidden among the leaves and
shtuhs, and tucked out of sight in a
turn in the road, under the hill—
Kitty had known harder times
than ever, since she began to love
and copy Miss Theo.
Grandmother was a rough old
woman;she took care of Kitty as
well as she knew how, and she
wanted her to go to school, and
learn to read, write and cipher;
hut good manners she disliked.
She called them “affectation,” and
was very impatient with that, what
ever she meant by it.
“Kitty,” said Miss Theo, answer
ing the remark at. the beginning of
this little story, “whether you can
please your grandmother or not,'it
Is your duly to try. It is always
our duty to do our very best, be
cause there is one who sees and
.ct r is; you knew who that is, dear.”
“Yes, Miss Theo; Jesus.”
“The Master,” said Miss Theo,
- reverently. “Now Pwill give you
a help word for to-day, to-morrow,
and all the week: ‘Whatsoever ye
do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and
not unto men.’ ”
Kitty repeated the verse over
twice after Miss Theo, then all the
way home she kept saying it un
til she knew it perfectly. Down the
long village st reet, shaded by the
maples, with their glory of flame-
colored leaves, past the blacksmith’s
shop where she usually liked to loi
ter a little, watching the red glory
of the fire, and hearing the beat of
the smith’s great hammer, past i“j
woodland where the boys and girls
came to gather nuts, she walked
slowly and said the verse. At last
she was lifting the little unpainted
gate.
* “Kitty!” said a sharp voice, “where
have you been idling? School must
have been out an hour ago. You do
try my patience with your dawd
ling, dilly-dallying ways. Make
haste to your room now, change
your dress, and finish the ironing
before dark. The flats ara just
right.”
Grandmother lieiself was busy
sewing on blue ovctalls for Farmer
Mottle hired man. She did odd
jobs of the kind whenever she could
get them, and really needed Kitty’s
assistance with the Work. The
trouble was, she never asked for it
graciously.
“Please, grandmother,” said Kit
ty, “may I draw my map first? I
can iron after dark, but I cannot
see to draw, then.”
“Draw a map? No, indeed, I
never heard of drawing maps till
these new-fangled notions -came in
at school.”
“But when can I, grandmother?”
“To-morrow morning, if you get
up early enough. Iron now, and be
qtfiet about it. Do you bear me,
Kathrine?”
No wonder grandmother was an
gry. Kitty was dragging one loot
over the other. She knocked down
.the ironing-board, 4m let tM iron-
holder fall ou the hot stove, and an
odor of horning pervaded the little
known Kitty? I fear nnt.-
But presently better thoughts
came. A sweet voice seemed to
whisper Kitty’s text into her ear.
It filled the space -about her. An 1
a new feeling, something Kitty had
never experienced before, took
command of ner wilful feet and lag
gard hands, of her pouting lips and
frowning forehead.
The lips forgot to pout, the brow
smoothed its puckers away, the
feet stepped lightly and swiftly
back and forth, the hands moved
the iron deftly over the nicely
dampened clothes; it was not very
long before the task was dohe; and
the old clethes-hnrse hanging full
of pieces ready to air.
This was doing work “heartily as
unto the Lord.”
“Grandmother, may I draw my
map now? I am sorry I was so
cross.”
How surprised grandmother was.
Never had Kitty made such an ac
knowledgement before. She said
now, however—poor grandmother,
who had not learned any better.
“Well, you ought to be sorry
You’ve been spry though. Yes
draw it if you like?"
It did a irn.nl, then, this verse
of Miss Theo’s ?
Kitty finished her map. She
learned her lesion, too, in the be
tween times when she wasn’t bring
ing in wood, or drawing water, or
•etting the table, or washing the
lishes. That daily changing of her
dress, on which grandmother in-
si.-ted, was a necessity; for the
child was a little maid of all work
at home, and the gray frock and
wh te ruffled apron which she wore
at school could not have been kept
neat had they not been replaced by
calico when school was out.
The next morning Kitty was up
bright and early. She loved to go
to school. It was just bliss to be
there with Miss Theo and the girls.
As she tripped down the narrow
little stairway her grandmother
called her, not crossly, but plaint
ively—.
“Come here, child, I’ve a head
ache. I’ll not be able to get up, I’m
afraid- You must make me a cup
of tea.”
“Heartily, as unto the Lord,”
whispered Kitty to herself. She
had been saying her prayer in her
little bed room, and felt as if God
had heard. Yet this was not the
answer she was expecting. She
lighted the fire, made tea, and toast
ed a half-slice or bread delicately
crisp and brown; with the pleasant
est face in the world she brought
them to her grandmother, only to
hear her say:
“You won’t be able to go to school
to-day, Kitty. I’m too sick. You
will have to stay at home and take
care of me and finish James San
ders’ overalls.”
Notone word could Kitty answer.
The disappointment was simply so
dreadtul that she was speechless
“1 promised them at twelve
o’clock to-day,” her grandmother
went on, “Its only buttons to sew
on, and a lew pieces to stay. You
can do it easily. Go away, now,
Kitty, darkeu the room, ana keep
very still. My head feels us it ii
would split.”
“Aiid *iy heart,” said Kitty, as
she looked at her beloved school
books on the shelf by the clock, not
wanted to-day, “my heart leels as if
it would break.”
She took the clue overalls spite
fully enough, out under u tree, and
began to finish them as she well
knew how, for Kitty was clever
with her needle. She had lorgotten
her text, when suddenly, high over
head in the tree, a bird began to
sing. The time for birds te sing Vas
past. Most of the warblers were
busy with family cares, preparing
to move southward belore winter
and not feeling like singing. But
this bird sang into Kitty’s very
soul.
And as she listened, her text
came to her again: “Whatsoever ye
do, do it heartily, 88 unto the
Lord.”
Even James Sanders’ overalls?
Yes, Kitty, the Lord accepts that
kind of work, if you do it in your,
very best way heartily.
“Grandmother needs the money,”
said Kitty to herself, “and she al
ways keeps her word.”
Like a fairy, or a mouse, Kitty
slipped in the house and outoTit;
geutly she moved, gently she spoke,
gently she attended on her grand
mother. Though she received no
special thanks, it was much that
she was notscolded nor found fault
with. By and by her grandmother
felt able to rise, and sit dressed in a
loose wrap|»er and a shawl, beside
the window.
Little Kitty, feeling strong and
well to her very *»ger-tipe, sudden
ly realized the contrast between her
self and the wan, thin, poor old la
dy, so querulous and exacting
because she was tired, weak and
unhappy.
* “Nobody loves her very much,
I wonder if I could, if 1 were to
try to do it, ‘as to the Lord, hearti
ly.' • % " 4 *-
Miss Theo’s van? was hearing
but which _
Kingdom always, if only yon giver
them r»om to grow. ;
“Shall I read to you. grandmoth
er?” asked Kitty, later.
“If you like, child.”
Then, taking the old brown Bible
down, Kitty found the fourteenth
chapter of John, and read those,
dearest words of the Master, “bet
not your heart be troubled; ye be
lieve in God, believe also in me. In
my Father's house are many na m
sions; if it were not so I would have
told yon.”
Grandmother listened, and her
face was no longer cross, but full of
peace.’ When good night -Ita*
came, she kissed Kitty tenderly,
and thanked her.
Next day Miss Theo drew the
child close in a loving embrace, as
Kitty said:
“I found oat yesterday that it
was not impossible to please grand
mother, after all; and' I mean to
try inure, and with your text to
help me.”—Sunday School Timet.
-SOT A FAILURE.
Mj Boy, Do Toa SaiekeT
The United States Navy annual
ly takes intoiUservice a large num
ber of apprentice boys who are sent
all over the world and taught to.be
thorough sailors. It has been the
policy of the government since the
war to educate the “bluejacket” on
the principle that the more intefli-
gent a man is, the better sailor he
is likely to become. There is no
lickof canddates for thc.-e posit ons
Hundreds of boys appiy, but many
are rejected became they cannot
pass the physical examination.
Major Houston, one of the Marine
Corps, who is in charge, of the
Washington Navy Yard barracks,
is the authority for the statement,
that one-fifth of all the boys exam
ined are rejected on account of
heart disease.
His first question to a boy who
desires to enlist, is: “Do you’
smoke ?”
The invariable response is “No,
sir,” but the tell-tale discoloration
of the fingers at once shows the
truth — . \.
The surgeons say that cigarette
smoking by boys produces heart-
disease, and that in ninety-nine
case* out of a hundred the rejection
of would-be apprentices, on account
of this defect, comes from exces
sive use of the milder form of the
weed. This is a remarkable state
ment, coming as it does from go
high an authority, and based upon
the results of actual examinations
going on day alter day, month al
ter month.
A Fortr-SIx per cent. Rate.
“The revision of the tariff made
by the commission of 1883,” says n
protectionist organ, “is satisfactory,
and Congress shoul I understand
that the country will net stand any
further reduction.”
Congress should understand that
the protectionists will not stand
UBy s >rt of reduction, if they can
help it.
It is not at all strange that they
should ex-pr.ss tU.-ir satisfaction
with >h* Tariff Commission. That
junta of jobbers; wtnie recommend
ing a material reduction of the tariff
and professing to m-ike sueli a re
duction, really increased ilia duties
on many important imports, and
to-day the ad valorem rate of duties
is actually higher than it was liefore
the revision of the Commission.
Secretary Manning shows in his
official report that the average ad
valorem tile tor the last year was
“over 46 per cent., which is but 2>£
per cent, less than the highest rate
of the war period, and is nearly 4
percent, more than the latest re
vision."
It will take something stronger
than the protests and threats of the
protectionists to convince the Dem
ocrats in Congress that they should
not fulfill their pledges to revise
and reduce the tariff.—Courier

Her life b -gsn so brilliantly,’’ said
ray friend, “it is a pit#, that ii has
turned out such a faflnre.”
We were speaking-of-one who in
her girlhood gave exceptional
promise of scholarship and. bleary
cult are. Her powers were uncom
mon, and were.equaled by her am
bition.- - Stimulated by admiring
parents and teacher, and filled-with
agentiiue love Jof knowledge, she
studied so incessantly that her
health broke down, and there came
a period ofenfor-ced repose.
Rallying, the same course of se
vere, pffirt produced the-same re
sult. and the .studies had to be laid
asiri ■. The lamp burned brightly,
but the vxse was fragile and so the
flume was obscure. ..Iteould nev-r
become a beacon, sending -its rays
far and wide, through murk and
gloom. But it could and did burn
steadily on with a mild, pure radi
ance, shedding its cheerful luster
over the home circle.
Contented to abide in lowly min
istries, the gifted girl, finding that
she ould not spend days and nights
over Greek and Latin, .determined
to become that rare-thing, a per
fect housekeeper- She learned par
ticularly and throughly the vari
ous secrets of housework; those oc
cult processes by which neat, beau
tiful and well-ordered.homes are
kept going as if by magic.
Reading the other day about Sol
omon’s temple, and the great blocks
of hewn stoneswnd massive . beams
of cedar, which • were prepared and
brought to it, all ready for use, so
that the grand-edifice was reared
in dignified quietude, without noise
or confusion, I thought,-how like in
the household, If things are to be
carried forward in order.. Nobody
builds a beautiful . home temple
without pains and care, and we
must do our polishing 'and hewing
out of sight, if we would be sue-es»-
ful architects.
The young girl I am speaking of
(I will call her Lillie) learned to
brew, to bake, to sweep, to dust, to-
sew, to manage servants.and to en
tertain guests, every one of these
occupations being in a manner un
congenial to her, since she was toy
nature shy, retiring and. a. bit of a
recluse. The variety and exercise
necessary to homely housekeeping
did not tax her strength as.did .in
tense devotion to books, yet she con
tinued frail, and was sometimes laid
aside for months.
1 suppose nobody learns how to
sympathise with the sick in any
other way than bearing pain and
suffering. Our Lillie became a ten
der visitor in shadowed homes. She
would come with her soft step, and
gentle words, her sweet face and
her unerring tact into a sick room,
and when she left it the patient left
encouraged. do, there was one
work she did for the faster, not.the
less precious than it was a very un
obtrusive one.
Hhe taught class after class in the
ibbath-school; and as the years
.weak by, ard the-girls and boys who
had beeu under, her instructions
grew up, they remembered her
counsels and prised her 'continued
friendship. They sought her for ad
vice, told her their perplexities,
and were influenced by her in their
maturity, as they had been guided
in their childhood-.
Lillie’s brothers and sistera mar
ried and went here and., there to
their new homes. Neither love nor
marriage were appointed lor her,
and she stayed wlthber parents
through tbiir declining years, al
ways their comfort, and gradually
their main dependence. She re
tained, as it seems to me some sin
gle women do, in a marvelous way,
simplicity of her child-heart
through all her years; and now that
heT hair is- sprinkled with., silver
and her footfall is less firm than of
olid, she is still everything that a
daughter can be to the aged ones
who lean on her.
Lillie has never written a poem,
nor painted a picture, nor made , a
discovery ta science, nor daszled a
drawing-room. - She has spent her
life hembiy, in a shady place, bat
she has made the shadows, sweet
with the perfume of Christ’s love,
sad the world has been, the better

Hon John Randolph Tucker has
innoanced his determina bm tore-
tire from politics at the close of his
present term in Congress. He is
mo of the most accomplished m-m-
bers of that body, and perhaps has a
greater fond of acquired knowl
edge than any public man of his
iiay except James A. Garfield and
Mr. Lamar. He is serving his sixth
term jn the House, where hie h is
been recogfiized as the peer of any
other member as a lawyer and an
orator of many and varied accom
plishments.
. He is a relative in near degree to
Thomas Jefferson andad'i endant
of Edmund Randolph, Washington’s
Attorney General, and rival of Pat
rick Henry. He is also closely re
in ted to John Randolph of Roanake,
for whom he was named. He is a
graduate of the University of Vir
ginia, an institution that has never

Personally he is a very popular
man,and has more warm friends in
the House than any other member.
There was a sort of Damen and Py-
thias: friendship existing between
him and Garfield. One was a disci
ple and a kinsman of Jefferson, and
a type of the Cavaliers who had
settled Virginia. The other was a
