“I toll you it’s all nonßcnse,’ said
Uncle Peh-g. “Charity— benevolence
—P'ty!— it’s all played out!—Yoor big
fairs tpay l>e all very nice, hut people
don’t come them because they pity the
poor; they come because it is fashion
able!’
lloratia More shook her pvclly head.
“You see, child,' said Uncle IViog,
taking B'iulf, “you’re on the wrong- j
platform over to get a peep behind the j
curtain. Y ti’re an heiress, ni and you
are tolerably good looking, and have a
way tiiat people like, and thcr((oi>: tin
world puts its best fuel forward, so far '
as you are concerned. If you were
Sir* Sikes, the washerw man, or 11. t!y,
the orangewoman, you’d see quite a
different aspect of things.’
“Nonsense, uncle,’ said lloralia, still
unconvinced. “Bea gen and dailing old
Uncle Peleg, and let me have the Trv
plu: tie Ggrcmde sttawben ics in vonr
south garden border for my rtfreshment
table. Kemeuiber I’m to sell slrawbcr
ries and cream, and I want my table t !
look the best in the room.’
“Who do you suppose will buy your
strawberries, at the outlandish price
you’ll put iq on them?" he deman led,
sotlrly.
“Everybody, ’Horatio answered, sail -
ci'y, ‘Come, Undo Peleg, lie generous
aid graceful, and say I sliall liavo tlicrn.
Uncle l’clrg took Hiinfl'.
“On one condition you can have
them!’
Horalia clapped iicr white rosy
hands.
‘And that
‘Just wait until yon hear,’ said the
old man dryly. 'You can’t have my
tifly quarts of Triomphe dc Grand
strawberries, each one as big as a pid
geon’s egg until you have first sold a
dozen quarts from door to door.’
Horalia opened her brown, wonder
ing eyes like twin wells of hazel light.
‘I. Uncle Pe'eg?’
‘Yon, nice Ilora ia! And I am to
specify the houses where you are to
go.’
•It will be fun’ cried Iloratia with a
gay laugh, I’d just as soon do it as
not.’
‘Perhaps it will he fun, perhaps it
won’t,’said Unde Peleg. At all events,
1 wantyou to get one glimpse, at least,
through a strawberry woman’ eyes.
‘And I am to be disguised, Uncle
Peleg?”
‘To be sure you are. Miss Horalia
Mere would have no difficulty in dispo
sing of her wares; a friendless strawber
ry girl is different.’
‘AH the moro delightful—a regular
tableau virnntV cried Iloratia. merrily.
‘Well, uncle, where am I to go?’
‘l'll write down a list of names for
you, that shall be culled out of your
dearest friends—Mrs. Montague, Mrs
Dysart, Miss Ferrars and the like.’
‘They will all buy!’ Cried Iloratia.
‘We’ll see,’ Uncle Peleg said, ‘Are
you willing to buy the Triomphe dc
Grande at such a price as this, Ilora
tia?’
‘At any price,’ the girl answered
gleefully.
‘Yotr don’t know how disagreeable
you mav find it.’
‘lt will be a perfect adventure!’ said
Iloratia recklessly.
‘But mind, you arc to keep it a se
cret.’
‘As the grave,’ his mischievous niece
answeree, with mock solemnity.
Miss Iloratia Mere would scarcely
have been recognized by her nearest .
friends, when she was dressed for the i
curious part she was to play 'for one
day only’ as she declared. A calico
dress; thick boots, in which, her tiny
feet felt unwontedly clumsy, a much
worn water-proof cloak, borrowed
from Mary Ann, the cook, and a wors
ted hood, enveloped in a faded black
vail, and a basket hanging over her
arm—these were the details of the cos
tume.
‘Sirawbcr-n'es! she cried, raising her
sweet voice to ‘O, aqove.’ ‘Oh, Uncle
Peleg, it will be such a joke.’
And she tripped away, delighted at
the prospect ot playing at the realities
of life.
Uncle Peleg looked after her rather
doubtfully, as he resorted mechanically
to bis unfailing panacea fi r all tinman
ills or perplexities, the snuff box. •
‘l’m almost sorry 1 sent her on such
C , ' 3 C
an unpalatable errand,’ he said to him -
self; bat it’s just ns well she should
i learn to see the world as it really is
i Her life has been all coid cur da rose, and
no wonder. The etiawberries will be a
dear bargain alter all!’
M bile these eccentric reflections were
j passing through the old man’s brain,
lloratia Mere had already reached the
i lirst house on her list, inhabited by Mrs.
j Montague, a lady who had always pro
: leased the sweetest and most saint like
character, whose voice was soft and
low, and who spoke in s ; x syllaboled
words of Websterian elegance.
Mrs Montague herself was in the hull
as lloratia rang the door bell.
‘lf yo please u a’um,’ said Bridget!,
it’s a girrel selliu strawberries—will we
buy a quart?’
‘Strawberries iudeed! and at the up
per door!’shriliy cried Mrs Montague,
in voice that for an instant almost
compelled lloratia to doubt the lady’s
identity. ‘Don’t you know- better, girl,
than to bring your trumpery wares to
the front door? What do you s’pose
basement bells were made for? Clear
out, this minute! What are you stan
ding thei-ydi? Dos’t you hear what 1
say?’
And she took hold of Iloratia's arm
and assisted her progress with a vigor
I ous push.
-Mrs. Dysnrt came next—an elegant
widow with an ivory pure complexion ;
curls like (he tendrils of a grape vine,
whoso obstinate rings she was always
lamenting. This time our heroine knew
better than to go to the front steps and
and made her way meekly to the area
bell.
_ “Strawberries, in [it ?’ said the little
| girl who came to the door.- “I'll ask the
j missis!’
| Mrs. Dysai t herself presently came to
| the door, and lloratia .startled to see the
I marvelous dissimilarity between Mrs.
| Dysnrt at home, lk r skin was sallow,
i wrinkled and blotched, Imre and there,
I from the two fw qaent use of powerful
cosmetics her hair was screwed up into
little papillotc-s secured by pin* making
a perfect chevcnx do frisc of her head ;
her beautiful figure was lathy and
straight like a pump draped in calico !
‘Strawberries! of ourso not, at this
season of Ihe year,’ said Mrs. Dysart
snappishly. "I’m not made of money 1”
And bile slammed the door in Iloratia’s
face.
‘Miss Ferrara will buy them at all
events,’said lloratia to herself. ‘Lncilo,
was always noble hearted and gener
ous.’
‘llnw much aro they?' said the fair
Lucille, coming to the head of the base -
ment stairs, in a oishabille of greasy
cashmere and a soiled white apron.
‘Eighteen cents a basket.’
‘Pshaw!’ said Lucille, .superciliously.
‘As if 1 was going to pay you such a
price as that! I’ll give you ten!’
I ‘They aro unusually line,’ said lloratia
| timidly.
‘1 shan’t give a cent over eleven I’
lloratia turned away.
• 1 wonder y >n fruit girls have the face
to ask such a price!’ said Mi. s Lucille
Fcrrars, fingering her purse strings
‘Twelve, tilcro —and that'.-; more than
they’re are worth!’
‘1 cannot null them under the price I
have named,’ persisted lloratia, shrink
ing from the sharp glittering eyes.
‘Go about your business then!’ said
Lucillic. ‘l’ll see the whole tribe ol
you starvebelore I’ll' be imposed upon
sc!’
lloratia felt herself disinebanted. Could
it be possible that this shrew-dish miser
was her soft voiced friend Lucille Far
rars?
‘Perhaps Unde Puleg’s views of hu
man nature may not be so very much a
miss after all,’ she said with a half sigh,
after she made some half dozen or more
pilgrimages and more than half of her
berries rpmafned unsold.
Miss Parker’s house was tiie last on
her list, lloratia had let it remain until
all the other places had been visited, she
herself could hardly have told wiiy—per-
haps because Justus Parker had been
her partner iu tho ‘German’ the night be
sure. She liked Justus Parker—yet she
sometimes distrusted his gentle nice and
smooth manner.
‘I am afraid it is all 'put on,’ she said
to herself. But uncle Peleg was deter
mined I should go there and I will not
shrink, now the ordeal is so nearly over.’
The servant requested her to go up
and see the young lady herself—she’s in
her own room mostly.’
Iloratia had heard of Laura Parker’s
lingering spine disease, although she
had never seen her. And her heart beat
slightly as she ascended the softly car
peted flight of stairs carrying her basket
of berries.
•Justus was sitting on a low chair be
side his sister’s sofa at the further end of
the room; he arose and came forward as
the stranger entered.
‘This basket is too heavy for you to
carry,’he said taking it from her arm
and moving forward a seat, with a sort
of unconcious chivalry.
‘lt is not so heavy as it seems,’ she
said, somewhat bitterly,‘and if it were,
I am nothing but a strawberry woman.’
‘But I suppose a strawberry woman
has feelings and sensation like other peo
ple,’said Justus Parker, smiling. ‘Sit
down a moment, while my sister looks
at your fruit.’
‘You must Lc very warm, said Laura
Parker gently. ‘Lay back your veil.
Justus, please ring for a glass of wa
ter.’
Iloratia accepted the water but refus
ed to unfold her veil. It was altogether
too good a medium fur her to observe
the quiet tenderness with which Justus
, Parker treated his invalid sister—the
' open Bible on the tabic, the fresh flowers
: by the sofa, all mute tokens of thought
ful love and care.
Miss Parker bought half a dozen has
. kets of the berries without one word of
exception to the price.
‘They are the finest I have seen this
year!’ she said. ‘You must come again
when you have moro ’

‘Have vou been to all the places?’ .
’Yes, all!’
And she told him her adventures with
playful humor.
‘Not a had day’s work,’ said Uncle
Peleg laughingly.
Miss lloratia Mere had the handsom
est. refreshment table and the best sales
of any young lady at the fair, and Jus
tus Parker was her favorite customer.
The result of the fair, not an uncom
mon one if all reports aro hue, was one
wedding if not more, lloratia Mere was
married to Mr. Parker; but not until nf
ter the honeymoon did he know his aris
tocratic little bride had sold strawber

‘Was it wrong of me?’ she asked wist
fully.
‘Under the circumstances, no,’ Mr.
Parker answered gravely.
*Pk-A merchant came into a printing
office a short time since, and seeing a
pile of papers laying on the table—it be
ing day—unceremoniously
helped himself, and said:— “I s’pose
you don’t take pay for just one paper?’
“Not always,” was the reply. Shortly
after that the printer entered the mer
chant's store and called lbr a pound of
raisins, which was quickly weighed out
to him. The printer took the raisins
saying: “I s’pose you don’t charge any
thing wheft a fellow don’t take but one
pound!” “No,’ said the grocer, after
seeing the disadvantage under which lie
was placed by bis stingy liberality to
ward the printer and said:—“ When 1
get any more newspipcrs from a prin
ter I’ll pay for them.”
A ITabrowixg Tale.—A farmer in Lynn
township employed an Irishman to do
some harrowing for him. To the great
disgust of Patrick the harrow caught
in the roots and stones, and on looking
for the cause, he for the first time per
ceivcd ‘them botherin spikes’ and he im
mediately proceeded to knock them out,
observing that ‘he was pretty share
’twould draw azier. ’ When the farmer
saw what he had done, he acted in such
a very excitable manner, that Pat
thought he had better leave. II any *>f

Power of Kindness —A poor woman
used to give an elephant, who often pass
ed her stall in the market, a handful of
.greens of which he was very fond, One
day he was in a great fury and broke a
way from his keeper and came raging
down the market place. Every one fled
and in her haste the market woman for
got her little child. But the furious ele
phant instead of trampling it to death
picked it up tenderly and laid it one side
in a place of safely. Do you think sin
was sorry she gave him his handful of
green a,; he went by? No. Wo never
lose by a kind action, no matter to whom
it is done.
A young fellow in Nashua, New Ilainp
shire recently got angry with his sweet
heart and for revenge took her to ride
and left her on the steps of a country ho
tel several miles from home to find her
way back as best she could. The girl
one evening afterward induced him to
drive her to visit a sister, twenty miles
distant, and while he v.-ao out of the bug
gy endeavoring to decipher the name on
a door plate, she drove of? ams left him
to go home when he got ready! The fun
cost him twenty dollars.
A Valuable Watch.— ‘Boys,’ s rid an
old Silas, ‘here is a watch that I wonld’nt

the same time taking from his jacket

siza as a small turnip. ‘Last fall, when
I was digging potatoes I lost this ere
watch and never fontid it until Deacon
Daniels brought it to ino ono day last
week. The deacon was going to Squaw I
ville, and in passing near my potato field j
he heard the watch ticking, and followed I
the sound for nearly a quarter of a mile,!
and finally found fho watch where 1 lost I
it six months before; and would you be- •

“Man proposes, but God disposes, j

“Be you good?'’ asked a bright little
chop of Miss Budd, his Sabbath school
teacher, the other day. “Oh, no, was
the becoming reply. “You ain't.! Well,
I knew you was’t pretty; but 1 always
thought you was good.’
‘Wife,’ said a broker a few days i
since, ‘do y.m think I shall ever he i

A SCENE IN CHINA.
I saw the sale of a family last week
j for debt, while tho husband and father
I was in California: and perhaps J cannot
do better than to tell yon about it,«*There
were five children—three girls and two
boys. Wc passed then"three times in
our chair during the day as they stood
beside the road dressed in their holiday
attire of black. The silence they observ
ed whenever any person passed and the
downcast looks created curiosity on our
part to know their business there. Art-
Rung (our waiter; was called up and
asked the cause of this jittlc parade.’—
“Why,” said he, “the girls and perhaps
the whole family arc for sale.’ Wo stop
ped our chair and stopped out to have a
ta k with them, using Art- llong ns an
interpreter. The mother was wrinkled
and gray, and hung her head as if she
were all-aid to look us in the face. But
tho children with the exception of the
oldest grl looked cheerful and wore
quite pleased with their holiday attire.—
Tho oldest girl was sixteen and the old
est hoy fifteen. So said the gruff old
broker who had the party in charge,
and who seemed quite anxious to dispose
of his wares. After a great deal of quiz
zing and evasive answers the broker
told us tiiat tho husband and father was
in California, and i.ad neglected to pay
his note given for his passage and that
his family were now offered for sale t ■
pay the debt, lie hoped to bo able to
pay the debt with the sale of tho two
oldest, girls, but as yet had received no
orders. He said that the family became
security voluntarily, and ho never knew
of a case where they did not voluntarily
offer themselves for sale if the note they
secured was not paid. In reply to our
questions, he said that when a customer
bought a child or person, tho perai n was
made at once the owner of tho child,
body and soul. No Chinaman would
dispute tho purchasers right to do what
soever he pleased with tho human be
ing he had paid for. Tho boys would
make good servants, bo said in the
course of a few years bo worth a fortune
to tho owner. Tho girls would make
‘ armors” for nurses as ’they are called
in America). lie would show us their
physical beauty—would make them sing
and ,play tricks if we thought of buying-.
How much would we give? The oldest
girl he would sell for four hundred dol
lars; the next ono for two hundred, and
tho little six year old foi fifty. The
boys he could not sell until the girls
were disposed of. We thought the price
too high. The market was glutted with
saleable girls, and lie must not think of
getting over one hundred for tho oldest
and handsomest while for the little one
lie must not expect over ten dollars.—
Ifo sneered at that and said that Eng
lishmen always talked that way when
they wanted to buy. While wo were
talking, a party of bine-robed Chinese
aristocrats came up and began to in
spect the family. They opened the
mouth of the oldest girl rapped on her
white teeth to see if they were s mid,
[lulled open her dress and thumpid her
ribs, laughed at her little foot told her to
show tho whites of her eyes, ordered her
to sing and to show them the trinkets
which tho fond mother had given her tin
a parting gift. All the while the sales
man kept up a constant jabber, iu which
we took no interest. Time pressing we
passed on leaving the parties disputing
about the price and discussing the prob
abilities of their running away if taken
to Hong--Kong After making our call
we returned tho same way to ascertain
the result ol the sale. Only the mother
and the boys were is It. The debt was
only S3OO and SSO of it stiii remained
unpaid. 1 have been often told by resi
dents in China that tho parents would
as soon sell their children as a cow or a
pig. And I had begun to believe that
such was the caso upon passing the
group the first time. But the scene had
changed. The girls were gone and now
a hoy must go also. The mother sat in
the dirt with her arms around tho yonng
eat wailing iri a most pitleous manner,
and as Ai r Hung said cursing the non
that sold her husband a ticket to Ameri
ca at S3OO which cost them but $lO. —
The broker sat listlessly by smoking
his pip® and twirling his cane, looking
as it was tho smallest matter of busi
ness with him. The hoys were crying
and seemed very much afraid of ns, now
it was certain one of them must go. But
we passed on and left them in their mis
ery. Wc never knew whether the boy
was sold to a childless man to be treated
as a son, to a Portuguese to be carried
to tho Went Indies under a nominal con
tract or to a native landowner to bo bis
slave. But that one of them was sold
into sorviuKio for the sum of iSSO, there
can be no doubt. The girls were doubt
less purchased for the vilest purposes,
unless they had the rare luck to fall into
tho hands of some native in search of a
legitimate wile. lam told that the
price of girls has gone up within a few
months, owing perhaps, to tho fact that
a less number of emigranls have forfeit
ed their bond in California than was the
case six mouths ago. I was shown four
bright plump, rosy appearing girls yes
terday who were purcUascd.loss than a
year ago (tho whole lot) for SBO. Now
they will sell readily for S3OO each—

Particulars of the Chinese Mas
sacre.
A special correspondent gives the de
tails of tho atrocious Chinese massacre
°f .French and Russian residents at
■U’ein Tsin, China. It appears that the
responsibility foi the horrible butchery
rests entirely with tho Chinese authori
ties, and the mob were not only incited
by tho Chinese Governor of the prov
ince, but frequently urged to commit
the atrocities. Their ignorance and su-
perstition were worked upon by tho
most remarkable means, and official
publications taught them to believe that
tiro foreigners were in Teiu Tsin to kid
nap women and children, with the de
sign of killing them and converting
their bodies into drugs. A mob held
possession of the French settlement,
maltreating all foreigners who were
abroad for two days, before any blood
was shed, and the Governor not only
did not restrain or disperse it, but lie
even permitted his soldiers to encour
age and aid it. It was not until tire
riot was three days old that the French
Consul was killed m the Governor's
palace, and wholesale slaughter was
begun. A number of American and
English are missing, and can only be
accounted fur by tho belief that they
suffered the same fate as the others,
and that t eir bodies floated away in die
r.vcr. The Rev. Mr. Stanley and fami
'y. of Cincinnati, occupied ono of the
missions, but, as he chanced to he ab
sent at the time, Mrs. Stanley and Miss
Thompson found refuge on board the
steamship Manchu, and thus doubtless
escaped a terrible fate. It is reported
that over two hundred proselytes or
priests wore massacred by tho mob. It
is charged that Chung llow, the man
darin or governor of the province, stood
by and witnessed the massacre without
attempting to prevent it, and also that
James Muaduws, American consul at
l oin Tsin, was in company with Cluing
How all the time, and did nothing to
prevent the terrible outrage, although
lie is an officer of the Chinese govern
ment, and had enough power and influ
ence to prevent it. Tho Emperor of
China lias appointed Chung I low a spe
cial minister to Fan's to satisfy the
French Emperor in reference to this out
rage, and has appointed Meadows aa
secretary and interpreter to accompany
Chung How. This tho Shanghai pa
pers denounce as a gross insult, and
call on the French and Russian Govern
ments to resent it. Tho outrages to
which the f males were subjected b fore
they were murdered are too sick ning
to relate. “Every cruelty,” says tho
correspondent, “which it was possible
for the nnftt savage barbarism to con
ceive of, was perpetrated upon these
defenseless Clu istian ladies. A native
Christian priest, who attempted to
guard the and jor, was seized and torn
from limb to limb. Nine sisters were
collected in a large school room, beaten
with sticks, their clothes torn from their
bodies, placed on their heads, and cut
'villi knives in the most savage manner,
and outraged. Yet alive, they were
ranged side by side along the room, their
cheeks gushed, lips and nose cut, eyes
scooped from their heads, their breasts
cut off, and abdomens ripped open.
With large cleavers their limbs wore
cut 'and broken, and in ten minutes
naught remained but their disfigured
bodies. When there was no more to do,
fire was applied and the buildings burn
ed. Sixty or seventy children who had
3 eight refuge from tho mob in tho cel
lar, were burned to a cruel death. The
French cathedral, consulate, hospital,
and buildings of all foreigners, were
sacked and burned.
A steward on an Ohio river steamer

‘Well yes,’ replied tho steward, ‘but

stranger, dancing around, ‘that is my
