I AROHITECTTTRE.J “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, I or Mrs. Taylor, or any other oftlic We pay cash for .11 our good, and can I | adic8 or ?" nd l,e r e could G et "■* offer you ! home-made bread such as you CONFECTIONERY !

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. TOBACCO AND CIGARS!

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. Ifowkluflll. Nem.

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.
