Janet’s Fortune.
‘And when I dir, I shall leave my
f irtune to the one who wi J use it to the
best advantage,’ said Grandn.a Leeds,
smiling from behind her spectacles iu
the voung girls abound her.
‘Your fortune, grandma? What will
it be? That old basket, with its hor
rid yarn and needles, and the neve*
ending knitting work. If so, you need
not leave it with me- Jane! will use
it to a far better advantage than 1
could.'
‘Yes, Lettie, you are right; and I am
sure I don’t want it, either. U’m what
a fortune to be sur. I’
Til accept it, grandma, and prize it,
if you will only add your sweet con-
lented disposition It would be a for
tune winch none of us need despise.’
Janet Leeds was the youngest of the
family, and the plainest. She had a
sweet, fresh face,.and tender eyes; bin
these paied into ugliuess befoie LettieV
b ack orbs and shining curls, and the
iove.iness of belie Margaret. S > she
settled buck like a inodest violet in the
chimney corner, and waited on grand
ma, or assisted the maid iu the house
work.
Qnce in a while she ventured out to
a party in the village, but so seldom,
that people never observed her. Thai
made it unpleasant, and she staid ai
home still closer.
But on that morning, while they sal
chatting with grandma, she felt a deal
of real discontentment for the first tim.
in months.
Clara B >sworth, her bos >m friend,
was to give a patty that evening, ami
she could not go. Fur weeks prepar
ations had been going on in their quid
family. She had given up the moue.t
saved for a new wiuter cloak, that L t
t e’s green silk might be retrirned fu>
the occasion, and llie best di ess she had
hi ihe world wasa p am, garnet CjB Tad
poplin with black velvet trimmings.
She had faintly sugg< sted that sin
wear that, but the ery of dismay from
her sisters silenced tier.
‘Goand wear that old poplin !’ cried
Lettie, from the clouds of white billow\
Lee that was to adorn the green silk.
‘You must he crazy!’
'T should think so,’chimed Marga r et,
who was fiamg a lace bertha over lln-
waist of ille dilicate lilace satin. ‘D--
you want Austin Bos worth t"
think us a family of paupers? It is t<-
be a grand affair, and Clara expects all
who honor it witli their presence to
pay her respect i noug.h to $ress re
spectably. It is Austin’s fiist appear-
anceafter the European tour, andsurely
you do not want him to think meanly
of us?’
The tears came up, but Janet was
brave, and no one saw them.
The night, when the two girls—the
on- in her dark beauty and wonderfully
becoming array, the other all delicacy,
her fair, pearl loveliness enhanced b\
the pale purple color of her splendid
dress—came laughing into grandma’s
room, a little shadow darkened her face,
and she Lund it very hard to keep
back the tea’s.
‘Fine feathers make fine birds, but
fine birds do not always sing the sweet
est, Janie,’ said grandma, after they
were gone. ‘I know who is the true
one in*this family. I know my little
singing bird, Janie, and she is dearer
than a dozen line ladies. Austin and
Clara will come to-morrow, and he
will tell us about his travels in foreign
lands, and you will be far happier than
you Would be upattlie house to night,
with dancing and confusion.’
‘I suppose* so, grandma,’ and Janet
took her seal by the fire and went on
knitting with a peaceful face.
The elder sisters'came home with
rumpled plumage, but in high spirits.
Ausiin Boswnrth had returned, a
handsome po.isbed gentleman, and had
flu ted desperately with Lettie.
‘Wliy, grandma, he almost proposed
to her!’ laughed Margaret, who was
engaged to Judge Lenard’s hopeful
son, and therefore had no place for
jealously, ‘More than one of the com
pany' 1 predicted that it would be a
match.’
‘Don’t count j’our chickens before
they are hatched,’ called grandma from
her pillow. ‘Mr. Ausiin Bosworth is
no fool, I can tell you!’
‘What an ol 1 croaker!’
They were entering their chamber
across the hall, but grandmother’s ears
were not dulled by age, and she clearly
heard - them.
‘Don’t mind them, grandma,’ whis-
peaed Janet, who had wanted to help
them lay aside their finery.
‘Mind them? Do you think I shall,
Janet Leeds!’
Next day Austin Bosworth came. He
was too familiar with the old house for
bel -ringing, and he entered, crossing
the hall directly past the parlor door,
where Margaret and Lettie waited in
their tasteful afternoon costumes, and
walked straight on to Grandma Deed’s
room.
She was there with her work, her
placid face beaming beneath the white
lace-bordered cap.
A graceful, girlish figure half knelt
beside her, wreathing with deft fingers
a bunch of evergreens into a frame for
a mantel ornament, and her eyes were
lifted smiling into the old lady’s face.
He entered and closed the door, be
fore either saw him.
“Grandma Leeds!”
“Why, bless.my heart, it is Austin !
Come here, by boy !”
And the fine gentleman came and
gave both hands to her in bis delight.
“Janie, my little playmate, too!

What happy meitng! Clara came
down, dressed for a call, and declared
she wou d come, but 1 told her np! I
knew the amount of- gallantry I should
feel obliged to use, anej. I preferred that
my first visit should be like the old
ones.”
“You are right. We are better
p eas-d to have it so, are we not Ja
net t”
His call lengthened itself into two
hours, aud during the time he told the
pleasant stories and chatted like the
boy of by-gone days, but not once did
Margaret’s or Lettie’s name pass his
lq s.
vVhen he went away he met them
coming with disappointed faces from
the parlor, where they had been wait
ing for him ; but he only lifted his^iat
and passed out. Then grandma and
Janet received a sound scolding, such
as only these two knew how to g.ve and
tne shadows of discontent again fell on
Janet’s spirit.
Ah, that long, cheerless winter!
What a story Janet could tell you of
disappointments, of happy parties of
which she had no share, of moonlight
rides, of joy and merriment! She had
only that one comforter, kind patient
grandma ; for now that Austin Bos—
worth had come, the way was harder
than before.
He came and escorted Lettie to par
ties, and sometimes chatted with grand
ma, but nothing more. She saw noth
ing more—she did not catch the good-
natured smiles he gave her fiomtie
s eigh as he rod 3 away - and Lettie nev
er told her how often he asked for her.
Alone with grandma, Janet wished
f>r better things, and woudered why
alie was so harsbiy dealt with.
At last even the society of her aged
comforter was denied her, and in tier
oed the old lady gradually faded avay^.
Day and night Janet sat beside her,
with the knowledge that she was be
yond earthly help—waiting upon her,
yielding to the childish whims, and
shutting out everything youthful and
beautiful from her sight.
“Flaying household angel,” Marga
ret said.
“VVorking for grandma’s fortune of
old shoes and worsted stockings,” Let-
iie cruelly added.
“Doing her duty by the faithful wo
man who had taken the three mother
less children into her heart, and filled
the lost one’s place so far as God per
mitted,’ her own heart said, and stead
ily she worked on.
The first of May brought invitations
to the last hall at the ^osworth house,
and while the two elder sisters laid out
the finery, Janet folded her tiny mis-
.-ive, and laid it away next to her heart
as a sacred bit of paper, bearing Aus
tin's firm, broad chircgrapliy upon it.
That nignt grandma was very ill,
and when Margaret and Lettie flutter
ed in with their gay dresses, Janet met
them, and almost forcibly put them out
of the room.
‘I beg you, girls, to have a little re
spect for poor grandma—she is very
ill to-night.’
‘Nonsense! Don’t be a fool, Janet—
anybody would think she was dying.’
‘I believe she is.’
Their reply came ;n a violent slam
of the door, and Janet was left alone
with her patient.
The hours dragged wearily, and
overcome by her long, sleepless watches,
Janet fed fast asleep.
Two hours later she awoke with a start
and in an instant she saw that dread
change visible in grandma’s face.
Like one in a dream she walked to
her father’s door, and awakened him.
‘Father, grandma is worse. I believe
her dying. You must go to Dr. Bern
You will find him at the ball. Go
quickly !’
She went back, and sat there weari
ly waiting for something—for a sonnd,
a*sign from the dying woman; but none
carne. Slowly, but perceptibly, the
lines settled around the pleasant mouth,
and the dark shadows crept over the
placid face, but no sound issued from
the. pale lips.
Janet bent her head. There was a faint
flutter —no more, and she elapsed her
hands' YVould grandma die there be
fore her eyt-s, and Dever speak a word?
She caught the cold hand iu her
own, and cried.afoud^
‘Grandma! speak to me! speak to
your little Janet! Don’t you heed me,
grandma ?!
But grandma, heard nothing. The
dullness of dea 4 had. settled down,
•mid even as she knelt «;hQre, the breath
fl. d aud Janet was alone.
She understood it all when she arose,
and she sank back half fainting in the
arm chai.r near the bed.
‘Janetj my poor darling!’
She lifted her head. Austin Bos
Morth was leaning over her.
‘My little girl I Why did you not
send word to me to-night, and let me
share your sorrow ?’
‘You, Austin ?’
‘Yes, have I not > Ah, forgive
me I This is no time or place. I miss
ed you as I have always missed you
but thought it was your own pleasure
to remaiu at home. When your father
came in wifb a white, frightened face,
and whispered to D.r. Berne, 1 knew
you were in trouble, I came at once,
and, Jai.ie, I shall not again leave yon.
Tone knew his meaning, and did not
put him away, when he held her close
in his arms,, and drew her iuto the
pai lor.
Margaret and Lettie, coming in with
their facas horror-stricken, saw him
holding her in his arms, her tired head

the proud Lettie said :

‘You need not be. - I’his is my privi

Three days after they gathered iq

little directions, it said :

Janet’s father smiled uppn hie ^|gn*

Suicide of a PoET.-Tne New York
Evening Post, of Saturday, has the
following:
Major Sigourney, who claimed thq
authorship cf ‘Beautiful Snow,’ com
mitted suicide on the Bloomingdala
road yesterday by shooting himself.
The body wa3 taken to the residence
f a friend in Qne Hundred and Tenth
street, where an inquest was privately
held. On his person were found letr
rers ficm Stephen Massett and J. Jay
Watson, of No. 590 Sixth avenue, and
some papers from a relative, Mrs. Lyd
ia H. Sigourney, written in 1853,Jn

leaves a wife and child in St. Albans^
Vt., in destitute circumstances. The
remains will be interred in Greenwood.
A Word to Boi'S.—Make yourself
indispensable to your emplyers; thk£ i3
the golden path to success. Be so in
dustrious, so prompt, so careful that if
you are absent one hour of the usual
time you will be missed, and he ini
whose service you are.shall say, ‘I did
not dream W was so. useful.’
Make your employer your friend, per
forming with minuteness whatever tafsk
he sets before yon, and above all- be
not too nice to lend a hand, however
repugnant to your sense of neatness ifj
may be. The success of your business
in after life depends upon how you de
port yourself now; if you are really
good for anything you are for a great
deal. Be energetic—put your manners
into your business—look well to^fleat-’
ness and act with alacrity. Appear’ 'fo.
feel aD interest to make your employer’s
success your own, if you have an honest -
one. Let your eye light up at his re
quest, and your feet be nimble. There;
are some who look so dull a pace, that
it is irksome to ask what it is your right
to demand of them. Be not one of
these.
It is Well to be a Queen.—the.
other day Prince Alfred was in India,
and the Maharajah of Cashmere offer
ed him as a present a shawl, on which
three hundred weavers had been inces
santly at work for three yea^. No
mch shawl had ever been manufactur
ed before. The Prince, having^ per
haps received a maternal hint not to
take any more presents, after his mis
erable escapades in Australia, declined
the gift—whereupon the Maharajah!
begged ol him to forward it to the
Queen. Her Majesty must now have
mure Cashmere shawls in her posse®^
sion than any drygoods dealer in New*
York. The real Cashmere shawl is £
very scarce object, for the Maharajah'
claims a lage royalty on every one 1
manufactured, and moreover buys the
most beautiful for his own use or* for
distribution among his friends. What
are called “Indian shawls’generallyar<3
either made iu Umritsir or ia France.
There is (or was) a gentleman, in In
dia who has all the curtains in his hooae
made of pure Chashmare ahawls-eaoh
one worth about §1,250, gold, on the
spot. As an Indian house has no doors,
but curtains instead, it may be imagin
ed what a very fair display of the gen
uine article is made in this one estab
lishment.
The New York Commercial Adver
tiser, a Radical paper, very properly
suggests: While President Grant is
considering the subject of removing the
disabilities ot Southern men, let him
remember that one of theii; chief dis
abilities is poverty, and th^t as long.as
the screaming farce of ‘Double headed
Reconstruction’ is enacted at Washing
ton, there can’t be muph improvement.’

Of the many towns of this descrip
