I eannot understand why Rachel Lenard keeps, such a dis agreeable bird; but she is not the sort ol girl to have any considera tion for her neighbors.’ Kit, standing by a window and gazing impatiently down into the ' busy avenue, smiled dryly beneath his handsome mustache. ‘Mother would not mind the parrot,’ he interposed, coldly, ‘but she would decline being a burden to you. We shall not impose any such inconvenience npon your generosity. Miss Maud.’ ‘Ah. but yon know I am will ing to do am thing in the world for yon.’ Maud iterated, with an air of ineonccalable relief. ‘To be sure you would,’ Miss Dolilel hastened to say; ‘and if my brother were not so absurdly proud he would not hesitate to mention one thing you really can do lor us. He knows you would only too gladly loan ns for a time the amount which the agent re quires.’ •Sis!’ her brother ejaculated, in she can atford to make little gifts to her friends, I suppose; she cer tainly earns a great deal more money than Rachael does.’ ‘Teaching music is not always a lucrative vocation,’ Kit observed soberly. •Oil, but Racliaol does not care to make gifts to any one—she is such a miserly little creature,’ said the sister. ‘Shesc'nally begrudges tbekeep- ing of her parrot, Maud says.’ ‘Maud must have been joking. Mrs. Doiitel interposed. She would not be likely to begrudge the keeping of a pet like that—it is a wonderfully intelligent and rarely taught bird, and valuable beside. One of her pupils woultl give her a hundred dollars for it any day.’ ‘And she would not part with it for a hundred times that sum. She has nothing else to love, she says. She is an uncommonly sil ly girl, 1 think.’ the not particu larly brilliant Miss Doiitel said with a little sbrug of ber diminu live shoulders. •And she has need enough „f| accents of rebuke and consterna- money, too—I am persuaded of ll0 °‘ that. She has worn nothing but shnbbv cashmeres ever since she But there was another grim smile behind the handsome mus lins Ijeen in the house,’ Mrs. Doli- as hc noted the s "- cstivc tel said, iu a suddenly altered and j expression of the pretty brunette failing tone, and sbe abruptly dropped the needlework which for some moments she had held in an uncertain sort of way. ‘You have been exciting yonr- self too much, mother,’ said Kit, anxiously regarding the changing countenance of his fragile parent. •You are ill again, mamma,’ the daughter cried, as she hurried to the sofa where the ft valid reciin ed, now faint and gasping, as spasm after spasm of paiu wrench ed her weakened frame. And ill again she was, indeed— so ill that for days and days she lay in a darkened room, to which the exceedingly sociable and oblig ing Maud Kayne was refused ad mittance. j i. ‘Do let me go to her! I could be such help to ber, and alittlecbat would soothe her so much. And J am always an happy when I can features. ‘Ah, what an unlucky body I am !* Maud exclaimed, with a gesture aa if of unutterable regret. ‘I have just made a most expensive purchase—some finery, so costly that I shall be obliged to scrimp my own Ixiard money for a long time to come, I fear. I am so sorry you did not mention tbe matter tiefore I had invested all my savings and a good deal I hare yet to earn beside.' ‘We know you are sorry, dear,’ Miss Doiitel sighed ruefully. ‘But we take tbe will for the deed, and thank you just tbe same. You most not fret about ns, Maudie,’ she added, aa tbe young lady tnoved toward tbe door; but Kit looked only amased an the doer closed behind her. ‘I bare a notion our worries • ■ • * have unsettled your wits, sis,’ he said with a look of profound annoy ance. ‘You must know I should never request nor re.-cive such a loan from any young woman, and assuredly not from Maud Kanye whose refusal is precisely what I should have predicted, the lovely- zouave jacket and sundry s|>e- eious trifles notwithstanding. L’cople who so zealously thrust undcsircd trifles upon their neigh bors are often tbe people who deny the one thing which would lie lieneficial and really prized,’ he concluded, senlenliously. As he still lingered by the win dow, his mind reverted to the de predated young music teacher who bad never been prodigal of her neighborly civilities, who had held herself aloof with gentle dig uity, and who had nothing to love but a great green parrot. ‘But even a great green parrot is pirfer-dde to an insincere friend,’ he thought. Just then there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs outside then a sweet voice responsive to a deep bass, which was unfamiliar, and then a timid little tap upon the door. ‘Come in,’ the maiden sister called fretfully from her disturb ed repose among the sofa cushions. And at the instant Kit turned to behold Kate Lenard—a fair, slim girl with laige, grave eyes and the calm face of a pictured Madona. She was not alone—a prepos sessing old gentleman held open the door for her that she might introduce himself and his errand. lie was the father of one of her pupils, she gracefully explained, and he had come to tender her neighbors a vacancy in his manu factory. ‘But the explanation is not com plete,’ the gentleman said, as he placed a detaining hand upon the arm of the girl who, with a beau tiful blush, had turned to with draw. ‘You must not lie allowed to remain ignorant of the sacrifice Miss Rachel proposed to make for you. When she became aware of your difficulty about the rent she felt a neighborly desire to aid you, and so she determined to sell a possession she values a thousand times more than the sum my daughter has again and again vainly offered. But as much as wc should have liked to secure the wonderful parrot, neith er my daughter or myself could have permitted Miss Rachel to part from the pet to which she is so greatly attached—we preferred to aid you differently and with more pleasure to a lady whom we have learned to regard with affectionate esteem. We have already ad justed the unpleasant affair with the agent, Mr. Doiitel, and you may begin your duties in the manufactory as soon as yog deem convenient to yourself.’ And then the prepossessing old gentleman released the charming ly embarrassed Raebel, and so betook bis benign aud satisfied self away. ‘A friend in need is a friend in deed,’ Kit quoted with a mis chievous glance toward bis aroaz ed and deiighed maiden sister. ‘Do toil her how grateful we arc to her, Kit,’ came faintly from the darkened room where the in valid mother had been sleeping reslfully until awakened by the deep bass tones of tbeir benefac tor. At the bidding, and with a strangely commingled sense ot hesitancy and eagerness, he follow ed Rachel, who had already re treated to her own apartment. He paused on the threshold, he heheld her bending over the great green parrot which, with a look of almost human intelligence was (leering at the sweet flushed face all wet with tears. ‘Poor pet,’ she was saying; ‘and yon are all I have.' But the words were few and hushed and simple—were eloquent of her utter loneliness, of her wo manly capacity ot serving a friend in need. With a countenance agitated by a tenderness no longer control lable. Kit moved to ber side. ‘You have more than this, Rachel.’ he began, huskily. ‘You have what might have been yours long ago, had you sot been too sby to listen to the pleadings of my love for you.’ She hid ber beautiful calm black eyes and smiled; the sweet lips tiembled with some magic utterance, and then he drew her to his heart and covered the fair face with happy kisses. •Our friend in need is to be yet dearer to ns, mother,* Kit an nounced, as lie led Kachel to the bedside of the convalescent, ‘Kachel is to be your daughter-’ Miss Maud Kayne was effusive with her .congratulations, but sbe did not long remain a resi dent of the Palladium flats. She claimed that her neighbors had become too unsociable for ber ex ceedingly sympathetic soul, and that they had become disagreca bly curious about a eertaiu expen sive purchase which she had somehow failed to consummate; and so she decided to transfer herself to a more congenial place of abode.—Etlie Rogers, 4 Walking Skeleton.

There arc real trials of soul and spirit that come with prosperity. The more hardy traits of charac ter do not always thrive in an at mosphere of ease, as under eon stant stimulation ol necessity. Even when a man earned his mon ey or his high position by persist ent effort he may find himself more slothful and less enduring, more earthly and less self deny ing, more duly satisfied and less high in his ideals in the lap of luxury than when hc fought for his life, inch by iueh, with the stern browed foe despair. Iu his poverty man dwells upon the great, good tilings that may be j couraging. wrought by riches. Too often in his wealth he finds the small, un worthy things more potent to oc cupy his inind. The prosperous man is sought out hy the tuuiti tude, is made to feel the falsity of many things through the trying test of wealth, is beset and wearied with an infinity of cares cast iqsin him and with the cold resentment of those whs consider every dollar of his income a dollar taken from theirs, llis charities arc treated as a matter of course, his denial of any petition is magnified into an evidence ot coutcmplihie mean ness, his thrift is called penurious ness, liis generosity extravagance. Certain social requirements ac- A Prosperous Tear Promised. The prospect for the season just opening is, without doubt, the most cheerful one that it has been the privilege of the Southern peo ple to witness for many years. With no political contest to dis turb the regular current of busi ness, and an abundant crop of everything that is needed for home use or trade, the farmers and business men have reason, cer tainly, to be thankful. In Geor gia there have been no such crops in the past thirty years as those which are now promised. The bureau reports place the average of the cotton crop in Georgia at 100, which is higher than that ot any other state except Louisiana, the average of which is the same. In addition to a cotton crop which is estimated at over 7,000, 000 bales, an extraordinary corn crop, and a more than an average rice crop, the farmer enters upon the season with less indebtedness than usual, partly because every year is becoming more thrifty, but chiefly because of tbe bard times less credit has been extend ed to him. Such a state of affairs is grati fj ing to every one, but it is espe eially gratifying to the business men iu the coltou centres who tle- pend to a great extent upon the output of the produce of the coun try. Here in Savannah, the sec ond cotton |iort of the country, the business outlook is very eu Increased terminal facilities will enable our railroads to handle double the number of bales of cotton that they handled 'last year. More cotton will bring more shipping, to say nothing ol the advantages to accrue to tbe general trade. With tiicse facts before us it is not unreasonable to predict an unprecedentedly successful busi ness season which will add to the prosperity of all classes of society. It is a very cheerful prospect to those who have weathered the hard times of the past eighteen months. The prraent comlltlon of tlic crops warrants the prediction that the seasoa of 1885-6 will be re membered on account of the pros polity which it brought to the VACA1TS cunpany wealth and station, and people of the South.—Savannah if a man dreams that by attaining Xetes. them lie will escape care be makes a sad mistake.

A successful man who is all that a man should he often has to suffer by reason of tbe fact that his children fail to develop the strong pinions that are slow to grow iu a downy nest of ease. The struggle towards wealth and high position anil any olher desirable thing in life, is a Magnolia Balm ness to it, who would rather not tell, and you cant telL aupIT-t.lIO The principal topic among the working people of New York City for the time being is the great la bor parade, which comes off on the noble struggle, and is excellent in Till of next month, in which be its effects on life and character, even when full success is not at tained. But, ail the same, pros perity brings with it dangers not less awful than the pitfalls of pov erty—temptations, trials and re sponsibilities. The man who pays tween 30,000 and 40,000 people are exi>ectcd to participate. The preparations are on the most elab orate scale, and in charge of men who know bow to handle big nuin hers. A novel feature will be the prominence of women workers in the penalties of prosperity, who is the ranks—the carpet weavers of New York and Yorkers alone fur nishing some 1700. All the nn ions represented il the Building Trades Council will turn out in full force as likewise the House Laborers’ Union (7000 strong), and Cigarmakcrs’s International Union, the Pianomakers' Union, etc: The printers, nnder the aus pices ot Typographical Union No. 6, will have two bands of music, and all their chapel banners will be in the line. The German ba kers will parade in white shirts, black pantaloons and white caps. The German and French singing societies will take part in the demonstration, singing along the line of march and at the rende? vons in Sulzer’s Park, Harlem.— The Governor of tbe State, the mayor and many other prominent officials are expected to be among the invited guests. The rennion is to be a sort of collassal pic-nic. and there will be little or no speech making. strong enough, and brave enough and good enough to come scath- iess through the fierce blaze of good fortune, will not be embitter ed or crushed by the burdens of adversity. It is a good thing for ns that in most lives, there is an opportu nity to try a little of each, and learn the hard lessons of adversi ty as well as explore the dan gerous, but seductive and instruc tive regions of prosperity. Bismarck on Eloquence. Bismarck is no orator. His speech i9 simple and plain. He thinks that the gift of eloquence has done a great deal of mischief in parliamentary life. It tries by appealing to tbe feelings to settle questions which should be settled by common sense. Bismarck used to tell a humor ous story to illustrate the distrac ting effect of eloquence. Freder ick William I, the despot king who publicly whipped his son, subsequently Frederick the Great, once listened to tbe pleadings of two lawyers. After the first one had finished bis speech tbe king, moved by tbe advocate’s elo quence, exclaimed: “Tbis fellow is in tbe right!”— The second lawyer then spoke, and with such effect that tbe king said: “This man has the right of it f* Then recalling that he had con tradicted himself be fell into a fu rious passion and sent both ora tore to prison.

Excitement will make a man glow even in the coldest weather, and it adds several degrees to the tem perature of a midsummer day. The excitement of business can not always be nveided, but a wise man will do all that he can to keep them in check. The Petition Fraud. Since the President gave the public a letter denouncing the Western politician who signed a petition which lie did not mean to carry any weight, these fraudulent petitions have been aired no little. It is now being developed, that it has been a common practice here tofore for Congressmen to sign pe titions, and recommendations which were to be considered as meaning nothing. One Congress man is said to have notified the department that petitions with his signature in black ink meant nothing, but if written in red ink they were to be respected. Sucil a man is not fit to represent any body. But signing petitions and rec ommendations is not conGned to congressmen. All classes of men do more or less of ttiis sort of signing. Men do not sign these things in order to promote wrong or injustice, nor to recommend un worthy men for office. Y'et their act at times produces such re sults. Some men sign because they do not care to show a prefer ence for one or another. Some do not know, nor care wbat they are signing. Othirs fear that to refuse to sign may injure their business. What ever be the controlling motive in these matters, men should re member that petitions so signed are worthless. In the case of ap pointments to office, the appoint ing power is misled, or in case all petitions are signed by the same parties, it has nothing more to cn lighten it than if no petition had ever been writen.—Bartlesville Gazelle. The Turkey aud the tlrasshopper. A Young and guileless Turkey was Walking in the Field one day in search of something to stay his Stomach, when Luck brought him a fiue, large Grasshopper. He was about to swallow the Insect, when the Hopper exclaimed: “Hold on a Moment my Friend! What’s the use "D ° small Insect like me when there are plenty of Hares in the Weeds just ahead?” “That’s so, and how foolish I was!” answered the Turkey as he let the Hopper go and set out to find Hares. At the end of half an hour he leaned up against a barb ed-wire fence, kicked himself four teen successive times, and re marked: “In the first place I couldn’t catch a Ilarc, and in the second I couldn't have eaten one if I had.” biorai. : The Mechanic who runs after Politics will go hungry half his time.
