To Eddie, on a certain afternoon the world seemed a place only to be disap¬ pointed in, and throwing down his school-books on the back steps, lie sat down beside them to moralize in a gloomy way, and be miserable. E ldie had a sister named Rosy, who coming along that way as he sat there, almost stumbled over him, before she saw him. Her face wore a happy look till she saw his; then her own .changed expression, for Rosy could never be glad or merry unless “buddie Eddie” was too. Quickly seating herself beside hi m she waited for him to speak. Delicate little Rosyl She would not ask, if he did not tell her why he was so sorrowful; she would entertain him. After a little pause she said gently, <T came out here to watch for you, bud die Eddie; tbe ice cream has come from the confectioner’s, and it is to be just the loveliest mold—two doves kissing each other; and mamma says, as it is on-. ly a family party, you and t and the lit tie children shall all come to table with the guests.” Eddie gave her no answer, only held his head in his hands and looked for lorn. “Didn’t you know,” she presently be gan again, “this is cousin Maud’s birth day, and she is to have a little party here to-night? See, I am all ready, for mamma said you and I had best get ready early and go stay with grandma till teatime, and then she will come back with us ; she i* all alone because aunt Susie and cousin Maud are hers helping mamma, and uncle Fred will come directly here from his office; so you see we must go to bring grandma. Go get ready. I’ll put your books away and wait at the gate for you. When the brother and sister were go ing down the street towards grandma’s, Eddie suddenly remarked, as if Rosy iiad that moment ceased speaking: “Yes, I knew all about the party before you told me ; knew it this morning, and I think birthdays ought to be jolly days for everybody. I didn’t think mamma could refuse me such a little thing. But she did; she says I can’t have one of Jamie Blake’s little dogs, and he has al ready given it to me ; just the prettiest, smartest little rascal I ever saw. I ran home in a hurry to make him a house, and ma’s, met and mamma she said running I positively down must to grand- j not 1 bring a dog home. Now, sister, I thiuk it down right hard. How can I see Ja mie to-morrow, after taking his present, an teIlyouI d have to (lon tell ’ t him I can’t ceDt have about it. the 11 carea party, nor the ice cream nor anything,” Rosy knew now, but what could she say f 1 lie case was beyond her powers of consoling. Ho she gave a long sigh, that Eddie appreciated quita as much as an y spoken word, and the two went on iu silence Ull the hell had been rung at grandma’s door, and they went into the pallor where She sat alone. Like the children she was all ready for tlie oirthUay festival. Her hair, still glossy f. ' aud black, Was crowned with a tiny, dainty , cap, which , . , Rosy said , she , felt she must wear, just because so many children called her grandma. Her dress was her test black silk, and the softest! aud whitest ruches circled neck and wiists. The fingers that could never be idle, were busy kuitting wtiite shells' that were to be made into a quilt for Ro sy, aud the little girl counted them each time she went to grandma’s, impatient for the sewing together to begin. “Y’ou look so lonely, grandma,” she said, as they went in. “We’re come to stay with you till tea-time; are you not glad. , , t’Yes. very glad; we shall have a nice walk together. But I wasn’t lone ] v - j Rosy, grandma said: “Well, Ed die, my boy, have you teen punished ^ ^ ^ f| when you should have been studying? vfant you to draw when you should be otherwise occupied. But grandma is sure too baye a decided talent for draw ing, and you will make famous pictures, I want to describe one that you are to paint for me, when you get to be an artist. It is one of the bright pleasant scenes I like to recall. It bap pened many years ago, but I can see it as plainly as I did the night I saw it in reality, I never get lonely. You see I have so much that is nice to think about, that I can’t be.” <' r j5 s >t down here by Rosy and me aim listen; grandma’s stories of when she was young ar« apt to belong, but till it I |’. try and make this one last only i time to go.” die Hei| the hard good for old few lady looked at Ed vei y a seconds; but he didn’tfsee her, for without speaking a word after his doleful soundiug “good eveniiyt,” he had gone to the window and Stood peering into the street. Then she looked at Rosy, who turned her wist ful face from brother to grandma, em¬ phasizing each glance with a sigh, as if to say. “Cheer him up, grandma, do; else there will be no fun for either of us to Rosy’s face beamed with pleasure, as Eddie, pleased with grandma’s remark about his drawing, turned toward them witb a real smile, as grandma began : “Om of my friends, Mary Blake, had a cousin Annie, a city girl, who came to spend the summer with her inourcoun try neighborhood. She and I grew to be intimate friends tlie very first year she came, and she would frequently spend days at a time at our house. You see we country folks didn’t visit as city people do, we knew nothing of such calling as your mamma and cousin Maud do ; a day or a night was ar short a time as we girls ever stayed when we payed a visit. One Oc tober day May and Annie and I set out together about sunset for Mary's home, the distance being fully two mile*, and the '■«* was partly through enclosed s and partly along a lonely conn tl ' v ’ Wo knew we had tarried too hfi|i 5 AT and dale ivf a rapid gait; but we couldn’t make much speed on account of Annie, She was perfectly happy in the woods; every step of ground had somo object which was attractive to her, and never a feeling of fear entered her happy heart. First, she spied, shin ing even in the dusky gloaming,a tree of late red plums, and although out of our way, she must have some. Next, in going through a little marsh she wout into rapture over the tall, waving swamp grass, with its feathery heads of seed. A bouquet was rapidly made for liar of the various kinds; then we climbed a fence and were in tho main road. “I do hope, now you will see nothing more to stop for,” said Mary, who was constantly hurrying us along. But even the bare clay bank of tho roadside was festooned with bits of October’s loveli n'ss, and Annie’s eyes spied in one place a long spray of sarsaparilla berries; bright scarlet they are, and grow in little clusters on long vines. These she climb¬ ed the bank for, and twisted them all around the large shade hat she wore. “Now I’ll run with you,” she said, “to make up for lost time.” But we soon came to a hill so steep we could only toil slowly up. At the summit, a little way back from the road, stood the ono dwelling that we passed. As we ap proactied it a number of dogs ran out to bark at us, and the moon showed her full face in the trees, having risen above a film of clouds, and shene out as on ly the hunters’and harvest moons do. “But the bright moon light only made U8 f ee l how belated we were, and we began to run in real earnest down the the other side of the house. Half way down the hill we were accosted by a mil n coming up with a bucket on eacti arm. “ Anysprin( , hero about?” said he. Anrl wc hjm direotloM t o one very near Then mary and ( at oach in hUnk dififttav ” “What is tlie matter ?” said Aonie, less used to country customs than we. “Do you think tlie man is crazy; it seems a crazy thing to me for a man to be look ing for a spring this time of night.” “It means there's a camp near us,” said we both in reply, almost fearing to goon.” “A camp Annie answered. “Well, come on; campers won’t bite us;” and she resumed her run and we followed, At the foot of the hill we hud to cross ;i pretty stream, shallow and clear, with a pebbly bottom; tbe tiny valley on its sides was a spot very attractive to country loving Annie, and she always wanted to loiter there. “Now,” she said, as she ran on ahead of us, “I shall beat you to the log over the creek, for I’m not afraid of campers, and I want to see how my little valley looks in this lovely moon li£ljt .o No. 31. SJ'iSi____ “When we came to where a sight of the tiny vale greeted us, this is the pic ture we saw, and tlie one Eddie must j paint some day.” “A bright fire burned near the edge of the stream, 'making tbe pale moonlight 1 so dim that the forest outside the small circle lighted by the ruddy fire-light, be came a dark frame to the bright picture, j A wagon with a gleaming white cover was just within the lighted space, and a tall gum tree under which two horses were feeding. Hear the fire stood a tall sinewy woman, dressed In a brilliant col ored print dress, her neck encircled with an orunge-colored kerchief; her bead was bare, and masses of coal-black hair were coiled at the back; her face was a marked one, by reason of the large, clear-cut fea- | tures less than by its expression of surely ill humor. In her hand aheheld a knife, ready to turn tlie slices of bacon that were frying and hissing in a skillet on ( tlie coals. But her face was turned from the fire, to look upon what she evi dently felt to be an intruder, iu the per son of Annie, who stood close beside her, warming her hands at the fire, while she j glanced around; first, up into the cross : face of the womuu, then at the wagon or horses, evidently enjoying thoroughly the novelty of the scene.” “I often think of that dear friend of those gone-by (lays, but never can I re call her looking as pretty as on that Oc toiler night, standing by the Atuazon-JIke woman at the camp-fire. She wore a dark brown merino dress, brightened by a rod scarf, which, finding it too warm after her run, she carried on one arm,, her shade hat was pushed back, that she might “see tho better,” and the spray of red berries fell over one shoulder, peep ing at a cluster of the plums she Imd pinned into the brooch at her throat, and she held in her hand the great bouquet of grasses. That’s my picture, dou’t you think it is a pretty one ?” “Splendid 1” cried the children in cho rus. “But do tell us how you got home at last.” “Well, Annie bid her woman a cordial good night when she saw us coming, and I though slio received a curt reply, she was in a merry mood for the remainder* of our walk, and seemed determalued to j add one adventure to another, for after i we had reached Mary's and had tea, she was the cause of great excitement among the children of tho family. I’ll put on my bonnet now, however, and as we walk along 1’* tell tlie rest.” On tlie street, witli Eddie holding one hand and Rosy tlie other, grandma re¬ sumed her story. “We were sitting quietly around Che fire, more quiet than was our wont, but only waiting for the baby of the house¬ hold to go to sleep, when a cry of some JitLle animal in distress was hoard.” “As soon as the baby was safe in slum bor-land, Annie, said. “What is that crying?” “Only a cat on the roof,” said Mary. “Pray bo content, Annie, to stay in doors the rest of the night.” “You need not go,” returned Annie, “but 1 must see what it is, for it makes a most pitiful wail, and it grows weak¬ er.” “So saying slui look a candle, aud we all followed. Mary and 1 and two little boys, Mary’s brothers. IFo soon found the sound came from the ground, not from the roof, and that it was among the ivy vines growing in front of tho house. I went to one corner of tlie house and the others in different directions, but 1 was tlie discoverer of Waif, for|so Annie at once named tho tiny dog that lay there shivering and almost dead. The boys eagerly but tenderly seized him, and car¬ ried him to the fire. “Sea mother” they cried, “here’s a dog that just came to us; you can’t lefuse to let us liave him al¬ though you said we should never own anotiier dog.” “Yes,” replied their mother. “We can’t turnoff this poor tiling, but it is very young and very cold I am afraid he will not live.” “My Puss’ll take hi in and let him live with her aud Kittie,” said the younger boy. A proposition all of us laughed at, but Annie, who said, “Bring Puss and her box here by tbe fire, little cousin, and W e’ll try her.” Gently Aunie laid Waif beside the kit ten and exclaimed; “Bless t, er motherly old heart,” as Jpuss began to purr lier welcome, and show her aN fection for tbe uew comer, so Waif grew warm and comfortable close by old pus sy’s warm side and he and kitten lived their happy davs together. Waif was tlie ' source of unceasing pleasure to the boys. and grew up to Vie a very sagacious d 0 ®-” When grandma , ceased, , -r, Rosy saw — Ed- , die’s face grow sober again, and Rosy was wondering why she did refer to a dog in her story; but then’thought she, “grandmama does not know Eddie wants one;” when the old lady began again, “I’ve been thinking so much of Waif, and how glad those boys were to have him to-day that I thought I’d like a little dog for you children to play with when you t'omo to sec me; could you get i The Democrat. f 4UVERT1SISO RATKS : I One Square, fir t insertion » » ’ One Square, each subsequent insertion n One Square, three month* 4 0» 1 One Square, twelve months . ■ .

But there are no little children, and no fine carpets at my house, so you may bring Jamie’s preset there.” So graudma’s story ended, and Rosy had no further trouble about Eddie’s ap predation of the beautiful supper table with the Ice cream doves. Long yean after when Eddie's Waif was too old to play, and Eddie hifnself was a tall youth, almost a mau, there was an ex hibition of pictures at an academy of design. One picture attracted much attention, and the painter they said wa* very young. “Going to Texas; and In truder in the camp,” it was called, but as it lias been described once In tbe course of our story, we will not repeat, The crowd standing in front of it moved on as some one said, “there comeB tbe young man who did it; we must give way that he may show it to his friends*” A very oil lady was leaning on the young man’s arm, and a bright, beauti ful girl walked by her side. As they stopped before the painting and the old lady adjusted her glasses, the young girl exclaimed: “Why, brother, you did not tell us.” “Hush Rosy,” he said, “let grandma speak first, success or failure, the pic¬ ture is hers.” “Annie at tlie camp fire,” said the old lady, her face aglow with pride and delight. “My boy, it is perfect. Deary me! that I ever should have Men it oa canvass! And you remembered all these years! I told you that story only to amuse you that day so long ago. I didn't really think you would Borne day paint it, but I always knew yeu would beJau artist, and I knew that scene would be well worth an artist’s peucil or brush.” “Dou’t you see one object net in the original grandma” said Roey. “There Is our Waif close by Annie, see?” “I thought I owed It to Welt” said Eddie, “to put him In ; I wish he could see it, and know all about how hie name and fame was won.” American Manners, “Yes,” said the landlady, In speaking of a deceased hoarder—“Yes, we shall miss him ; for, notwithstanding he had a touch of ferocity, and a temper that kindled witli velocity, yet ponderosity,’ hi* verbosity, although it inclined to and was never relieved by luminosity, often excited jocosity, in spite of his pomposi¬ ty.” A tourist in Switzerland finding » charge iu his bill for stationery, and be¬ ing sure that ho had ordered none, in¬ vestigated the matter, and learned thqt the “stationery” was tlie ink aud paper used in making out his bill. “Farewell” was the title of u poem sent to a newspaper ; and Hie cruel edi¬ tor, in acknowledging its receipt, said : “It is a good thing that the gifted au¬ thoress hade it good-bye, as she will nev¬ er see it again.” Said Maguire to Finnegan—“When you see me acting like a fool, tell me so.” And Finnegan said lie would..
