“She’s an old darling,” said
Grace Craxall. “And I mean to
help her all I can. I’ve got a beau
tiful recipe tor chocolate celaires,
aud on Friday evening I am go
ing there, to make up all I can, so
that tho school-children will buy
them on Saturday. I*know how to
make cinnamon apple - tarts, too.
and lemon-drops and cocoanut
halls.”
“Grace 1 do believe you have tak
en leave of your sense," said Medo-
ra May. “One would think it was
disgrace enough for Aunt Deborah
—our own mother’s sister—to open
a horrid little huckster’s shop with
out our mixing ourselves up in the
affair.”
“But Aunt Debby must live you
know,” said Grace, who was perch
ed, kitten-fashion, on the window
sill, feeding the canary witli bits of
sparkling white sugar. “And Cous
in Nixon couldn’t keep her any
longer—and her eyes nren’t strong
enough for hue needle-work, and
her education has not fitted her to
he a. teacher, and her poor old
rheumatic bones keep her irom go
ing behind a counter or entering a
factory. I suppose you would not
be willing to have her come here
and live with you?”
“U" cried Medora. “Do you sup
pose I want to proclaim to the
whole town that I have such a di
lapidated old relation as that?”
“( would take her quick enough,”
said, Grace, “if I didn’t hoard with
Mrs. Ilowitt, and share the little
up-stairs back room with the two
children. J ust wait until I marry
some rich man,” she added, with a
saucy uplifting of her pretty au
burn brows, “and then see if I
don't furnish up n state apartment
for Aunt Debby!”
“Don’t talk nonsense," said Me-
dors, aoidly. “It’s very likely,
isn’t it, that a factory girl like you
are going to marry a rich man.”
Grace Craxall laughed merrily.
All through life she and her cousin,
Medora May, had agreed to differ
on most points. Grace, seeing no
other career before her, had, on the
death of her last surviving parent,
cheerfully entered a factory, while
Medora taking tier stand on the
platform of a false gentility, had
done fine sewing and silk embroide
ry on the sly to support herself,put
ting on all the airs of a young lady
of fashion the while.
And now Aunt Deborah May to
the infinite disgust of her aristo
cratically inclined niece, had actu
ally opened a low-windowed shop
in a shady street Just out the main
thoroughfare, and, as Medora de
spairingly expressed it, “gone into
trade!"
For Aunt Debby, In her bewilder
ed loncncss, had scarcely known
what to do until Grace Craxall
enme to the rescue with tier hope
ful courage and straightforward
common sensu.
“I only wish it was not sinful
to take a good big dose of lauda
num and put myscirout of the
way,” sighed tho poor old lady.
“Now, Aunt Debby, that doesn't
sound a bit like you,” said Grace
cheerfully.
“But what am I to do!” said
Aunt Deborah.
“What can you do?” exclaimed
Groce.
“I don’t know as 1 am much good
for anything,”said the old woman,
with a quiet tear or two, “except
to help around the house,—and I
ain’t strong enough for regular hir
ed help. Your uncle always used
to say I was master hand at mak
ing bread.”
“Then make it," brightly inter
rupted Grace.
“Eh?” said Aunt Debby.
“There is a nice little store to
let on Bay street,” went on Grace,
“for ten dollars a month.”
“But I haven't got ten dollars a
month,” feebly interrupted Aunt
CHAMPAGNE. I Debby.
GISGEIt ALE AND I “I’ll lend it to you,” said Grace,
SPARKLING CIDER. ! “out of tho wages I have saved.
And there’s a - pretty bedroom
at the back of the shop, and a clean,
dry basement under it, where you
could bake your bread, I know, for
the sister ofthelady where 1 board
is looking for dress-making rooms,,
and I beard her speaking about
it.”
“Do you mean to open a bake
ry?” said bewildered Aunt Debby.
“No, not exactly that,” explain
ed Grace. “But if Mrs. Ilowitt,

Now couldn’t you?”
“The lady brightened up a lit
tle.”
“I used to ho pretty good at
cooking, said she.” “And if you
think I could support myself so—”
“I ain sure of it!” cried the cheer
ful Grace. “And I'll go therewith
you this very day to look at tho
place, and will engage it for three
months on trial. And I can paint
you a sign to put over the door,
“Homc-Mado Bread by Mrs. Deiio-
rah May!” And I'll hem you some
curtains and arrange the shelves
in the low window! I almost wish
I was going to he your shop-girl,”
she added merrily. “But I can
help you in the evenings, you
know.”
Graco Craxail’s prophecies prov
ed correct', Aunt Debby’s delicious
homemade bread, whiter than pow
dered lilies, sweet as ambrosia,
soon acquired a reputation, and
the old lady could scarcely bake it
fist enough. People came half a
dozen blocks to buy the yellow
pumpkin pies and tho delicious ap
ple tarts; children brought their
hoarded pennies to invest in choc
olate sweetmeats, vanilla caramels
and cream cakes with pufly shells
of delicious centers oi sweetness.
Tho little money drawer grew
fat with CQins—and Aunt Debby's
dim eves grew bright and hspeful
again.
And one day Mr. Herbert Val
ance, walking by with Medora
May, stopped and looked in.
“Isn’t that your cousin Grace,"
said he, “bediod that counter?” .
Medora turned erimson with
vexation.
“My cousin Grace,” she cried.
‘No indeed 1 We are not in
trade 1"
What possessed her to utter this
deliberate falsehood, Medora could
not afterward have told. Partly
the sting of false shame, partly a
disinclination for Mr. Herbert Val
ance to know that her relations
were not, to use her own express
ion, “ladies and gentlemen.”
Mr Valance looked at the sign
over the door.
“The name is May,” he said in
differently.
“Yes,” said Medora, angry at
herself for blushing sodeepiy,“but
we are no relation.
Mr. Valance thought over the
matter afterwards; he had met Miss
May at an evening party given by
a friend, where pretty Grace Crax
all was also present—he had taken
rather a fancy to the bright blue
eyes and delicate blonde beauty of
the former. Valance Hall on the
hill just out of the oily was solita
ry enough, now that his sisters had
ali married and gone away, and
perhaps a man might And a less at
tractive and graceful wife than
Medora May. But, be thought ho
could not be mistaken in Grace
Craxail’s identity.
And so, the next evening, at
about the same time, he staunter-
ed into the shop.
Graee was behind the dainty,
clean little counter, taking some
newly baked maple caramels off
the pans. She looked up with a
smile.
“Good evening, Mr. Valance,”
she said.
(“So,” he thought. “I wasn't
mistaken alter all. And the little
blue eyed seraph is moral enough
to tell a lie in spite of her angelic
appearance 1”)
But he looked serenely at Grace.
“I did not know that you were
in tlie trade,” said be.
“Didn’t you? Well,” merrily
retorted Graco, “I am Aunt I)eb-
by’s shop-girl Just at present.

. t j raisin cakes, and fried crullers,
always come here in the evening to
help her. Because,” she added,
with a sweet shade of seriousness
coining over her face, “she don’t
know how to maintain herself in
independence. And unfortunately
my wages at the factory are not
enough for us both. So I advised
her to open this business. And
she did. And she’s doing very
well. And she hakes the most de
licious bread and pies you ever
ate, so,” with a saucy twinkle un
der her eye-lashes, “if you know of
any customers, will you please rec-
commcnd our firm ?”
•To he sure I shall,” he answer
ed, in the same spirit. “And lam
very glad, Miss Craxall, to sec
that you are not ashamed of being a
working-girl.”
“Of course I am not,” said she.
Why should I bo ?”
“But your cousin Medora is.”
Grace gave a shrug of her
shoulders. “Very likely,” said
she. “Medora and I (Utter in many
particulars.”
Mr. Valance bought a pound of
caramels and went away.
-.“She’s a beauty,” be said to him
self. »
“And she’s a sensible beaaty in
to the bargain. One of those rara
avises in our country, a thorough
ly well-balanced girl.”
He must havo been well pleased
with his purchase, for he came
again the next evening, jnst in
time to walk home with Grace.
And they talked over Aunt Deb*
by’s affairs, and concluded fiiat as
flour was low just then, it would be
a favorable opportunity for the old
lady to lay in her winter stock
through' Mr. Valance, who was ac
quainted with one of the great New
York grain merchants.
Only a few weeks had elasped,
when Medora May was elcctrifled
with amazement to learn that her
cousin Grace was “engaged.”
“To some master baker or jour
neyman confectioner, I suppose,”
she said contemptuously.
“No,” said Grace, with eyes ro
guishly sparkling, “to Mr. Herbert
Vnlnncc.”
“I—don’t—-believe—it,” said
Medora, growing red, then turning
pale.
“But it’s really so,” raid Grace.
“And we are to bo married in three
months. And Aunt Debby is to'
‘come to the Hall and live with me
as soon as sho can dispose of her
business to advantage. And dear
Medora, I hope you will often
come and visit me there.”
Medora May did not answer.
She could not. But in -her heart
she recognized how infinitely more
successful in life’s list had been
Grace’s true, frank honesty than
her own subtile and devious course.
Like many another, however,
the lesson came too late!
Put This In Yonr Pipe and Smoke It.

It seems that some of the aspi
rants for Congressional honors in
the western portion of this, the
Third District, are already feeling
the political pulse, and before they
feel much further, we wish to say
to them that, unless the eastern
portion of the district is allowed a
showing, or in other words, allow
ed the candidate for the next elec
tion, they will And that this por
tion of the dletrfot will bo ihelihed ~
to feed them on a Coot-ed Con
gressman. Put this in your pipes,
gentlemen, and smoke it.
We do not wish the above to be
understood as a hint for Gen. Cook
to make the race, or that we are at
all anxioifs for him to represent us
in the noxt congress; but we prefer
the General to a now man from the
western portion of the Distriot.
A male for a State lloose.
Chicago, Feb. 18.—The immense
tract of land set aside by the State
of Texas to pay for the erection of
a new State House has been trans-
terred by the State during the past
two days to Abner Taylor, Hon.
C. B. Farwell and John R. Farwell,
of Chicago, and A. O. Babcock, of
Canton, Illinois, who will furnish
the necessary funds for erecting
the building. This domain is larg
er than tho State of Connectient,
and live times larger than Rhode
Island. It is in the northwest!cor
ner of the State, and the survey
extends south 107 miles, with an
average width of 27 miles. The v
railways are already projected
through this section of the State.
The transferor these lapds is prob
ably the largest sale ever made to
private individuals, and -the pur
chasers are the largest land owners*
in the world.
A Woman’s Experience.
Mothers and Daughters should
feel alarmed when weariness con
stantly oppressed them. “If I am
fretful from exhaustion of vital
powers and the color is fading from
my face, Parker’s Ginger Tonie,
gives quick relief. It builds me
up and drives away pain with
wonderful certainty.”-Buflak> lady
Mr. Justice Hayes, as is well
known, was a wit. On Hie trial or
cause of “Woodcock against
Bird.” before Lord Chief Justice
Jervis at Warwick, the Chief Jus
tice having remarked that it was a
pity that two “Birds” should not
live in harpiony, Hayes replied:
“Yes, it is, my Lord; bat my cli
ents complain of the tho length of
the plaintiff’s hill!"
The ladies who sometime since
were unable to go out,having taken
Lydia E. Pinkham’ Vegetable Com
pound, are quite recovered, and
have gone on their way rejoicing.

Ladies who appreciate elegance
