STANFORD, Cuthbert, Ga. “I'm tick of it,” .aid Kate, dashing a handful of hair-pins upon the table, and letting a big brown braid go tumbling down her back. “So am I,” said Beth. “So am I !*’ aaid Nannie, who ( waa suffering with a dreadful cold. *P oke i again- “What is it, girls?” said I, turn ing my book face down in my lap. “It's the suppers/’ said Beth. “It’s the everlasting gossip,” said Kate. “It’s so different from home,” said Nannie, to whom the board ing house life was a new expe rience. “It’s all three, and much more,” was what I wanted to say, but being the oldest of the four, it seemed my duty to make the best of things; so 1 said, quite cheer fully, "I didn’t see anything un usual about the supper to night.” “That’s the trouble," groaned Beth. “It was altogether too us ■isi. I am so tired of bread and butter and apple sauce and dry cake that I feel like gnashing my teeth at the sight of them. 1 should like a slice of toast or a bowl of bread and milk occasion ally, without being made to feel that I had disarranged the whole internal economy of the house.” “The suppers are bad enough,” jsaid Kale, but they are nothing to the gossip. I'm tired of hear- j ing it whis|icreii round that ‘Mr. Johnson and his wife had a quar rel in their room last night,’ or that ‘Miss Robinson lias worn three new dresses this month,’ or that ‘Mr. Jewett came in ever so late the other night, and it sound ed as though lie fell upstairs.’ Ah!" and Kate looked as scon - fid as a round face with a dimple in it would allow. “I could stand everything else.” said NaDnie, “if it was only home like. Oh! if I could only sit down in a dean kitchen, with uiy feet in the stove oven, and see a braided mat in trout of the stove with a nice cat on it, I should be perfectly happy.” We all laughed at this idea of bliss, lint after the laugh there was a sudden silence, for each one of us recalled such a kitten, and the presence that had made it home like. We were not sisters, or even kin to each other, but meeting as strangers in a city boarding house, a strong friendship had grown up between us, starting, I think, in the fact that we were each or phaned and had our living toemrn, and strengthened by many con genial tastes. We were doing our duties in rather a brave, cheerful way, with few complaints, but to night we were under a cloud. Outside, a November rain was lashing the windows, and inside, the stove smoked. It was pay day at the manufac tory where Kate was book-keeper, and that waa always a bard day for her; Beth had worried two of her dullest pupils through their music lesson: and I bad bad a time in school that afternoon with a wretch of a boy, and was at my wits’ end what to do with him on the morrow; and Nannie was more than half sick—so we sat there quite still for a while. Final ly Beth spoke: “I suppose we might make these rooms look a little pleasanter. We each have a few pictures and knicknacks.” “Do you suppose I would hang my few pictures against this aw ful paper?” said Kate. “Besides, what would be the use? Just as I got everything nicely fixed, some- man would want the room, and we should be invited to go up higher. I've boarded in this house two years, and in that lime I’ve advanced from the first floor back to the third floor front, and two more moves will take me out on the roof.” “We might go somewhere else,” said Nannie. Oh! you poor little inno cent!” laughed Beth. “You’d ‘change the place and keep thr pain.’ They’re all about alike.” At this Nannie lifted such a woe be gone face that I felt some thing must be done. “Girls!” said 1, in my most im pressive school room manner. But here there was an interrup tion, for Nannie left the rocking chair and rushed toward the bed. •Oh, Nannie!'’ cried Kate, “don't muss the bed; it's hard enough anyway.” But she spoke too late, for under the combined influence of homesickness nnd in fluenza, Nannie had flung herself on the bed in a forlorn little heap, and was lifting up her voice in a hoarse cry. Beth and I purred over and cuddled her, and Kate slipped downstairs ami coaxed the cross kitchen girl into making a bowl of sage tea. and by the time she was hack with it the invalid was some what comforted. When quiet was restored, 1 “Girls! let's go to housekeeping.” Nannie stopped the bowl half way to her lips, ftetli sat upright on the trunk, and Kate drop|>ed the stick of wood in her hand back into the box. “Where's the furniture coming from?” said she. “Who'll pay the bills?"’ said Nannie. “Who'll do the work?” sab I Beth, who was bom south of Ma son’s and Dixon’s line. “We'll all do it,” said I, an swering the last question first; “and as for the furnishing, that needn't cost so very much; and aliout the hills—Kate, how much do wc all pay a week?” “Four times five is twenty, and two dollars for washing makes twenty-two,” said Kate, with book keeper promptness. “Why,” said Beth, beginning to be eager, “lots of families live on less than that, anil pay for every thing out of it—clothes and doc tor's bills and everything." Well, wc talked till midnight, and the more we talked, the more fcasi hie the scheme seemed, and it was decided that we should commence tenement hunting the very next morning; and after I Beth and I had gone to our own room, Kate came hurrying across to say site had some spoons and forks which had been her moth er's, and that Nannie said she knew how to make lovely waffles. We expected a tedious time it. store room, closets, etc., and as the house was on a corner, we hail the sun most of the day. Kate and Nannie painted the floor of their room soft gray, and covered their dreasing-table and wash-stand with Mac and drab chintz. The one window was draped with full curtains of un bleached cotton, trimmed and loo|>ed back, with bands of the chintz, and a low cushioned chair and ottoman were covered with the same bine and drab covering. A low painted bedstead and chest of drawers completed their furniture, and strips of blue and gray carpeting before the larger pieces took away any suspicion of bareness. Tbe room Beth and I shared was precisely similar, except that our floor was painted a bright warm brown, and onr cretonne covers and bits of carpet were scarlet Wnd white. But it was on onr common sitting room that we lavished onr greatest skill. Tile three windows were curtained with full draperies of cheese cloth, over cream colored shades, a big crimson how at the top of each window where the draperies part ed. Nannie, who was not in tbe least aesthetic, pleaded to have the whole floor covered, but as this meant twenty-five yards of carpeting, she was voted down on the score of economy as well as of art. A wide margin was stained a most delightful dead-leaf brown, and nine yards of crimson and wood colored carpet made a square large enough to come well out around the center table. And the table—wc saw it one day in front of an auction-room. The top looked as though opposing 1 forces had fought across it, but finding a house to rent within the standard was good and solid; wuo conducted Ms wooing with very little nonsense. Some even ings be would come in with his drawing board under bis arm. and establishing himself at our kitch en table, put in his marrelously fine lines and fi-.nires, with Nan nie sitting beside him with her sewing, making quite a Darby and Joan picture. Kate some times shook her fist at him from the covert of the sitting room, but she usually ended with “Bless the children!” But to turn from lore to figures. How much did it cost? Now I do not expect to he be lieved when I say that our entire furnishing, from the small mir rors in our bed rooms to tbe big iron spoon in tbe pantry, cost ex actly $128.63; nevertheless, that was the exact total. It may seem more creditable when it is under stood that our dressing tables, wash stands, and ottomans were packing boxes, and tliat t!-.» in viting cushioned chairs were orig inally barrels. Of course our tiedslead* were not furnished with hair mattresses and rose blankets, hut we had warm cov erings, and clean straw filled ticks, which were simply luxuri ous after boarding house mattress es. Our table was not set forth with cut-glass and silver (except Kate's s|ioons and forks), but it was clean, and the food whole some and varied. And about the cost of living? We elected Kate treasurer, and every Saturday night each of us put five dollars and a half into a box kept for the purpose, ami she paid for every thing out of it. Wc questioned her often, during the first month, l.oiv the money was holding out, but she made no sat- basket on the front seat. Bnt this did not break up the society, for another good friend stood ready to fill the vacancy, nnd stepped promptly in. And did we nut find the work too bard? Well, sometimes it seemed a both er, bnt divided among four, it waa not oppressive; and if tbe larder got empty, or other work pressed, we took our dinners out for a day or two. And we did not get tired of it, bnt after a three years’ trial nl the plan, are more and more sat isfied, for it is home. We leave it in the morning with regret, and return to it gladly at night, feel ing that it is ours, that wc are not there on sufferance, but by- right. And this sense of scciirtly and permanency encourage us to add comforts and even luxuries to our surroundings, and I think you might hunt up and down the city and not find a more content ed and comfortable set of people than tbe memliers of the Home Cooperative Society.—Harper t Bazar. the living; our means; but it is astonishing how fortune helps those who try to help themselves. That very week a nice little scholar of Nan nie’s stopped alter school to say that her parents were going to move out of the city. We knew where she lived—a pleasant house iu a respectable locality; so after supper Kate and 1 hunted up the landlord, the next day wc went in a body to inspect the place, and the bargain was concluded. Between that time and our dc parture we bade fair to lose our reputation of being the quietest boarders in the house, for every night there was talking and laughing in one room or the other, while we stitched and hemmed and figured—this last the hardest of all. Kate, with a confidence born of much handling of money, made nut a list in a twinkling, which list was perfectly satisfactory to all of us—until wc inquired pri ces. One thing we were agreed upon, aud that was, rigid econo my, so we cheapened this and left out that, until it looked quite reasonable. Well, the first day of December found us in “our own hired house,” and as Beth turned the key in the hall door, we felt that wre had burned our ships behind us. Tbe outgoing tenants seemed to regard our experiment in the light of a huge joke, which tbey were willing to help along, so they gave us a number of bouse keep ing things, among others a braid ed mat, and a half-dozen plants all in blossom, and sold us their range at a very low price. Beside this, we had a couple of bedsteads with the furnishings, a few dishes, our trunks, and a half dozen packing boxes of different sizes. The next fortnight was one. We rose early and went lo bed late, and lived in picnic fash ion, while we painted and pound ed, and planned. We were in a state of mind where we wisher) for no advice, much less help, from anybody outside; but after jamming considerable plaster from the walls, and skin from our knuckles, we decided there were times when a man could be made useful, and at Nannie's sugges tion a certain young architect from the boarding house was ta ken into onr confidence, and did valiant service in patting up shelves and hooks. One Friday night, with the last screw in the kitchen clock shelf, the work was done, and I dqubt if many brides, going into houses luxuriantly appointed without care of theirs, feel half the satis faction that we did in looking round on the result of our ingenu ity and hard work. And it was a right cosy little place. There was a good sized sitting room with two sleeping rooms opening 1 so home it went, and when it was covered with Beth's old gray shawl dyed crimson, and the stu dent lamp set over the darn in the middle, the effect was all that could lie desired. Then wc had Beth's piano and the plants, and nobody knows un til she tries it how far a piano and plants go toward furnishing a room. We had a comfortable lounge, bought “in the cloth." and covered by our own hands, a big Shaker rocking chair, ami two or three smaller rockers and camp chairs. The wall paper, was sub dued, and our few pictures and brackets made quite a show, and when we bad scattered our books and trinkets about tbe room, it was a decided success. “There, Nannie,” said Kate, when we reached the cozy kitchen on our tour of inspection, “yon can tuck your little feet right into the oven, and feast your eyes ou the braided mat, and if the cat was only here, you would have reached the climax of earthly happiness.” The young architect looked in quiringly, and Nannie's ideal ot bliss was explained to him. He made no comments, but looked at her with a peculiar expression in his handsome eyes, nnd I felt that the stability of the society was threatened. The next night as we were sit ting down cozily to our tea aud toast, and baked apples and milk, there was a ring at the door, and Kate, answering it, came back with a basket. “It's directed to you, Nannie,” she said, holding it to the light. So Nannie opened it, when out stopped a pltlmp, self satisfied Maltese kitten, and attached to one fore paw was a card which said: “The Climax.” Beth turn- a busy ! ed the card over, and read the young architect's name. “Oh, Nannie!” she said, turn ing on her reproachfully, “I hope yon are not going to spoil every thing.” But Nannie waa busy filling a saucer for the new comer, and made no answer. I may as well say here that, soon after, the young man came to me in a very straightforward way, made known hit intentions in regard to Nannie, and askej permission to visit her. That night, while she was gone on an errand, I laid tbe question before tbe other girls. “I move,” said Kate, who was rather given to sounding phrases —“I move that he be granted leave to withdraw/’ “Oh, let him come!” said Beth, with true Southern obliviousness of consequences. Well, be came, and came again, aud the little romance unfolded in • kindlier atmosphere than that of a boarding house parlor, and after a while I think we all rath er enjoyed him, as he was a high- minded, intelligent young fellow, isfartory answer. The first day of January wc each found on our plate at supper tbe following notice; “The first monthly meeting of the Home Co operative Society will be held this evening in the kitchen, as soon as the dishes are done. A full at tendance is desired, to hear the report of the treasurer.” Every member was present, and the treasurer read her report. After setting forth at some ljyigtli the origiu and object of the socie ty, she presented the following figures: Ik Accockt with Homs Co-orsasTiTE tioCIETT. Dr. To Cash $>7.43 Cr.

The next month we paid five dollars a week each, and had a surplus, and after that, four dol lars a week usually covered all expenses. When we started, though we asked no advice, we bail floods of it, and no end of dismal predic tions. “You’ll quarrel,” “You’ll run in debt,” “You'll find the work too hard,” “You’ll get tired of it,” and most dreadful of all, “You’ll be talked about.” “Well,” aaid Kate, when this was brought np, “if a good name in the past, and orderly living in the future won’t save us, why, let them talk. They must talk about something, and while we are un der discussion somebody else will escape.” So that waa disposed of. And we did not run into debt, and we did not quarrel. It would be too much to say that we never differed, but our differences were never bitter. We nsed to think sometimes thatBetb shirked her share of the work, but she waa the sweetest- tempered creature living, ami al ways willing to make amends Then we had to bold a tight rein on Kate, who waa apt to want lax uries out of season, at exorbitant prices; and I was sometimes a ’.rial about cooking, being absent minded, and apt to burn things np. As to Nannie, she waa never anything but a comfoit. We didn't keep her long, for one day, toward onr first Thanksgiving, there was an nnuanal flatter in tbe bouse. We trimmed tbe rooms with flowers, and tied a white satin ribbon on tbe Climax; tbe minister and a few friends came in and almost before we knew it, Nannie and the young architect I gone off together in n hack, with Tbe Climax wailing in a Arsenic nils by the i taL J. A. Smith, a Gainesville, Ga., merchant, saya: “For years was a victim to the combined ef fects of Erysipelas and an aggra rated ty|ie of Eczema, that baffled all medical skill. I consulted the very best physicians in tbe United States to no good purpose. I gave every patent medicine that was recommended a faithful trial and received no benefit. I took large quantities of potash and a pint cup full of arsenic pills. The patent medicine, pills, and potash mixtures fed instead of curing the disease. They destroyed my ap petite and wrecked my system—I lost flesh and energy—I lost three years from my business and spent $2,000 in a fruitless effort to re gain my health.

Envy feeds opon the after death it ceases—then every man’s well earned honors defend him against calumny. The wise men of old have sent most of their morality down the stream of time in the light skiff of apothegm or epigram. No woman ean be handsome by the force of features alone, any more than she cm be witty only by the help of speech. Strong minds, like hardy ever greens, are most verdant in win ter; when feeble ones, like tender summer plants, are leafless. Right habit is like the channel which dictates tbe course ia which the river shall flow, and which grows deeper and deeper each year. It is impossible to make people understand their ignorance, for it requires knowledge to perceive it: and, therefore, he that can per ceive it hath it Love seizes on ns suddenly, without giving us time to reflect; our disposition or onr weakness favors the surprise; one look, one glance from tbe fair, fixes and de termines us. A good memory is the best monument. Others are subject to casualty or time, and we know that tbe pyramids themselves, rotting with age. have forgotten. Infinite toil would not enable you to sweep away a mist, but by ascending a little you may often look over it altogether. So it is with our moral improvement; we restle fiercely with a vicious habit which would have no hold upon its if we ascended into a higher moral atmosphere. A Candidate’s Mistake. “Madam, may I kiss tiiesc beau tiful children?'’ inquired Uncle Dick Oglesby, as he leaned over the gate. “Certainly, sir; there is no pos sible objection.” They are lovely darlings,” said Uncle Dick, alter he had finished the eleventh. “I have seldom seen more beautiful babes. Are they all yours, raarm?” The lady blushed .deeply. “Of course they arc—the sweet little treasures! From whom else, marm. could they have in herited those rosy cheeks, those profuse curls, those comely figures and those mnsical voices?” The lady continued blushing. “By the way, marm.” said Un cle Dick, “may I bother you to tell your estimable husband that Richard J. Oglesby, the Republi can candidate for Governor, call ed upon him this evening?” “Alas, good sir.” qnotli the la dy, “I have no husband!” “But these children, madam— you surely are not a widow?” “I feared you were mistaken, sir. when you first came up. These are not my children. This is an Orphan Ayslum!”—Chicago Xttn. A health journal says, “Always have fruit on the breakfast table this time a year.” It would be well for boardinghouse keepers to understand ia this connection that oatmeal mash is note species •f “fruit.” Somebody hoard a Boston girl say “I tbiak he looked like a per fect raring angel in his uniform! He was awful heavenly.” A Bay’s logic. A boy astonished his Christian mother by asking her for a dollar to buy a share in a raffle fur a sil ver watch that was to be raffled in a beer saloon. His mother was horrified, and rebuked him. “But,” said be. “mother, did you not bake a cake with a ring in it to be raffled off in a Sunday School fair?” “Oh. my son,” said she, “that was for the church.'’ “But if it was wrong,” said the boy, “would doing it for the church make it right? Would it be right for aae (osteal money to put ia tbe collection? And if it ia right for the rhorch, is it not right for me to get this watch if ( can?” The good woman was speech less. awl no person can answer the boy’s argument. Tbe prac'.i- ces are both wrong, or they are both right. A Basbfal Bey. Robert, a bashful young student of Cupid, recently summoned wp courage to escort a young lady home.
