The Rag Carpet.
‘We can’t afford it,’ said grand
ma, resignodly, ‘Why a carpet at
sixty cents a yard would cotna lo —
how nucb, Torn?’
'Wouldn’t it dspaud somewhat
upon the number of yards, grand
nia?’ sugg'Bted Tom, who was cut
ting on his gray coat in the ball.
‘Well, say i’ve breadths ot a yard
wide, each live yards long,’ said
grandma in a business tone,
‘A carpet five yaids square —
twenty-five yards, at sixty cents
per yard—fifteen dollars,’ announc
ed Tom, promptly.
G raudma looked up at him ad
miringly through her glasses.
•It’s a good thing to have n head
for figurea. Aa for ms I never
could put two aDd two together.
But we’ll have t > give up that
carpet. I'm atraid. though it,s a
great bargain. Mrs. Haokett gave
full thirty dollars for it, aud bad
it on ! y one year, shut up in her
parlor where it was senroely trod
upon. I’d like to gel it for John’s
wife's room; but we’ve too many
others u»es for money just now.’
‘What a pitvl’said Lizzie, who
was sitting on the window-si:l,
dangling one neat little hoot just
above the floor. ‘The room will
look so bear and comfortless with
out a carpet; and John is so anx
ious to have tverything nice for Al
ice.’
‘Wouldn’t the pallor carpet do?’
inquired Tom, demurely. ‘I i card
you say it was getting too shabby
for the ccmpiny room ’
‘No,it wouldn’t do at all,’ an
swered Lizzie, sharply. ‘How
would the parlor look with a bare
floor at Thanksgiving and Christ
mai?’
‘And Sunday evenings,’ said I,
indignantly.
‘Ob,’ said Tom brushing bis hat,
‘I had forgotten that. No, cer
tainly. Young Mr. Smith mig’n’t
find it comfortable; nor the doctor,
either. They might be afraid of
catching cold, and go away very
early.’
•I ahick I hear thes'sge, Tom,’
said Lizzie, leaning a flashed face
frem the the open window.
Tom kiseed us all around, and
went out with bis valise to meet
the stage. He wai drummer to
the bjgge-t manufacturing firm in
the little town, and was always
coming and going.
He would be back in six weeks —
in time to meet John and his wife,
on their arrival at the old home
ste: d.
John wae making a good match,
and be and h s wits were to slay
with us ail winter, while bis ewn
house has building, about a mile
distant, and we were all anxious to
nave everything nice for Alice.
Liz and I, waving Tom' a last
adieu from the porch, returned to
the sittingroom.
Cousin Armenia had laid aside
her knitting, and seated in a low
ohsir in front of grandma, was
leaning forwardand talking, wit*
the keen lighi in hor gray eyes
which always betpoke some aew
i lea or inspiration. ‘You see Aunt
Dorothy, ’iwoeid he sheer extrava
gance to give sls for a carpet
fora bed-room. Now, when I was
a girl, I made two splendid rag
carpets; and though it’s twenty
years ago, I’ve not forgotten hew
to do it. Suppose I jest set to work
and make one for John’s wife's
room?’
‘A rag-earpet?’ said Lizzie dis
dainfully.
‘Yes child, a rsg-carpet. If
’twns called by some high sound
ing name. I suppose folks would
lus it better. If Alice is the right
sort, she won’t turn up her nose at
a ra;;-cai pet, ’specially if it,s m.w
and bright. A rag-carpet can le
mads to look hands'.me; and, any
ways it’s bet Ur than none.
‘But where will you find the ma
t>ris!?’
Dh, I’d be bound to find rags
LAFAYETTE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1881.
enough? There’s plenty of old
cloth is haeging in the garroi, and
the rag chest an.i sorp full
and the neighbors won’t begrudge
me what old scraps they have no
•lee for.’
Grandma looked doubtful, and
Lizzie a little eoornful; but Cousin
Amienia aeemtd quite elated over
her idea. Aud being one of th >ee
active and and elet*rmined spirits
loses no time in oerrying out a
plan as soon as it is conceived, we
were not surprised to find her,next
day, already set to work upon her
proposed carpet.
F.rst she visited ths attic, and
oyerbauling the big and
examined all the hulf-wurn and
cast-of clothing hang about. Then
she west over the whols house, and
ransacked every box and cleeet for
anything that 00-ld b appropriated
to her work.
The next few Jays were spent in
washing and frcehvning up the va
nous articles, and ia ripping and
tearing them into ehrede, which
were then rolltd into great halls,
according to their color.
All the rag-carpets that I had
s-ien were woven in a mixed med
ley of colors, without order or ar
rangement; but Cousin Armenia
showed herself possessed of an ar
tist's eye and an esthetic soul.
‘The browns and grays, and all
other neuter tints,’ she aaid, wind
ing her strips around on old iron
ing-board in the ettio to illustrate
her puttern, ‘are to make up the
ground-eolor. Then came red and
blue stripes; teeause, you see, one
always most of those twa colors;
and in the middle ofcaoh a narrow
stripe of yreen and yellow, which
are skesree color* to get. I’d like
a little purple; but that’* what
you hardly ever oome aeries.’
‘lf you could get the puiple,’ I
said, ‘you would have all the col
ors of the rainbow, and one would
call your carpet th* Iris-pattern,
She appeared struek with this
idea.
'To be sure, there’* my old pnr-
I lo merino, an idea
of making over for a Sunday-school
dress for little Kiltie Leary. But
dare aay a Dew calico is only six or
eight cents a yard; and, anyway,
charity ought always to begin at
home.’
That evening she cam* down
covered with dust and bits of
thread, just in time tidy herself fur
sapper.
Deacon Hutching” lud com* in
to see grandpa on some little busi
ness matter and at the table g'and ■
era apologized for the absence ol
hot-cakes, on the plea of Cousin
Armenia’s pie-occupatior. with her
carpet.
‘A rag carpot, eh?’said the Dea
con, with interest. ‘Well, my
mother used to lie a great Land
on rug-carpets, but senre her (lay
they s»em pretty nigh (o ha’ d'ed
out. S-.'ems to me wirnmir, ain’t
as keerful and saving nowadays as
they need to be. Now, if I ever
get merrier!,’ he added, with his
dry smil®, ‘l’ll expect Mr«, Deacon
Hutchingsto make a rag-carpet
th* first thing a'most.
Then don’t ask Susie or me,
please, Deacon,’said Lizzie, archly;
‘for w# both bat* rag-cirpvts —
they’re to ugly.’
‘You won’t think so whe you’ve
seen mine,’ euid Cousin Armenia,
with a confident nod; ‘and any
ways it’ll save fifteen dollars out o’
nothing, ar.d that is a considera
tion.’
The Deacon looked approvingly
at he woman who c >uld make fif
teen dollars out of nothing. He
wi'siigond man, generally liked
and respected; but bo o ths char
acter of being rather ‘closer’ than
there was any necessity for, seeing
that be was well eff, and with no
family t> support —for the deacon
was a bachelor.
When Cousi-J Armenia used up
all her material she discovered to
be-dismay that at h ast one-third
more was rrqu red So *h« went
again o-er the house, coileciing
everything bef,M rej cted tbst
oouid be made available. Colorid
ho e and coreeta were pressed into
service—hi s formerly considered
too stri.-il were car* fully collected
and s'itched together. The very
ragbag iiseif, when impted, wa*
sit-zed upon; and even grsudmn’s
oid red flannel dusting r.tg did not
escape. Ti e rag carpet, became a
standing juke with Us.
“There is a pair of leather shoe
strings for ynUr carpet, Armenv,’
grandpa would observe, diily, ‘snd
some raveled rope end* in the barn
if vou are a mind to use iht-m.
But Cousin Arim nia’s soul was
not to be put down by sariamn,
any more than it had been dibinay
ed by difficulties. The carpet
prgressed, and about the same
time Lizz'e and I beg in to discover
various ariioles of our clothing mis
aing, which Ujon rigid examina
tion were found reduced to strips
in Ceu.sir. Armenia’s carpet r..g
balls. A mot g other things weru
the gre#n lining cashmere skirt—
greenjSeing one of the ‘skeerae’
colors; a turkey-red curtain, whieh
wa* wns to have b(*n mended and
done du y in Tom’s room, and a
pair of grandpa's ‘trowsc-rs,’ which,
though not yet (oudemi.ed to the
attio, Cousin Armenia had pro
nounced entirely too shabby for
further wear, and so utilized in
her omnivorous carper.
Granbpa said little, butasgraud
ma informed us in confidence, be
came very particular in p»t ing
away hi* slcthes, and instead of
leaving his coat banging behind
th* entry door or o»»r a ck air at
night, always carefully deposited
it behind bis bead or under his pil
low.
One day the deaeon ‘happened
in’ wheu Cousin Asrmenia was
putting together a quantity of very
smsll sersps wherewith to eke out
hrr carpet.
‘You make pretty close work ol
them lit tie rag-tags, Miss Armenv,’
he remarked, in his usualy slow
way.
‘Yes; I make ap'int of never
throwing away anything that car,
be put to a use,’ she returned,
complacintly, ‘But lam dreudful
scrimped for rags enough to finish
off my carpet in tim. Mebbe,
deacon, you hayn’t an 'ld rest or
such that you would be glad to get
rid of, eh?’
Th* de.icon said he’d arid
next day he sent ov*r some web
worn silk nec-ti-'s and po kot-band
kerchiefs, for which certainly no
other ure could have beea found,
saye that which be bin self sugges
ted, of‘putting’em on a pole to
scure the crows with, 5
IVe laughed at the idea of a silk
carp*t; tut Cousin Armenia, with
out a word, carefully encorporated
them in her work.
After this shecaovassid the yil
lage, importuning her ftiends f.r
‘old clothes,’ and the tailors aud
diesrmakers for ‘selveges.’
Any sain time, to the relief ot
everybody coi,cerned, a sufficient
quantity of material had been pro
vided, at d the carpet was e*nt to
to be woven at a neighboring farm
house.
Meantime, we had been boaied
in other preparations lor John and
his bride, aud when these were all
comfileted, nothing remained save
to put down Cousm Armenia’s new
earpe’.
Lizz'e snd I rode with her to
the farmhouse to get it, and on
seeing it, had to aakuwledge that
it was as near prettv as a rag-car
p»t could be. Btill it was ugly —
for how can a rag carpet he mad*
lo look anything but course and
common?
VV* spent the night at a friend’s
in the country ; and next morning
returning home, Cousin Armenia
triomphsnt'.y ordered her carpet
to be carried up to ‘John’s wife’s
room ’
L zzie and 1 followed. I opened
H • door, and stopped shori at
sight of a pretty, bright-colored,
tbree-ply carpet lying in th* mid
dle of the floor,
‘Why it’* Mi-s Hackett’scarpet!’
L zzi» exclaim-J; the very one that
we want, d to buy wbea sue broke

‘Y-t,’said grandma, alittle du
biously, cooing up behind ns, ‘ii

ding up stuirts, tire* eleps at a
time.
Lizzie end I sprang to meet him,
but Cousin Armenia received his
greeting with the air of a deeply
injured and in ligiianl person.
‘I don’t me the us* of having
two carpet* in in th* lame room,’
aha presently remarked, coldly.
And Torn hud to explain how
he li id not had lime to make up
his mind about the purchase of
the carpet until he had actually

him, but forgot to say that it must

was innocent of i s existence,
nothing ever having b*en caid lo
him about it.
‘AVtJI,’ said Cousin Armenia,
‘l've ind nil toy labor and pains
for nothing. The dea,’ she ad
ded, indignsnUy—*tli6 idea of
spending fiiteen dollars on a bed
room carpet, when one just as ser
yictftl lv could bo had for nothing!’
and she kokid proudly at ii.T
work -
Fi r notiiing, Cousin Armenia?’
inquired Tom.
‘For akaereelv anything. The
wsaving did cost about four dollars
but that don’t ccount.’
‘And the thread for the warp?’
suggested Tom.
‘VI ell, that might be a few d 1-
diars iu re,’ she admitted.
And a rather uneasy light enme
into her eyes. Sh) left the room
abruptly.
Then L zzie sail;
’And the go id clothing destroy
ed, unJ the time spent on prepar
ing those rags, and the hiring of
the wagon lo go for the ca' pet—
what do those amount to?’
‘To say nothing of the new dr-isa
that must he bought for Kitty
Leary, aud the uew curtains for
Tom’s room,’ I added.
•Wry, altogether, these two car
pots must have eost ub ut the
same, ar.d Cousin Armenia has
made nothing by tier' economical
idea.’
Grandpa wa* standing behind
us, bis hands in his pockets, and
a very knowing look iu his eyes.
‘Mab'.e your* a iitil* inistikcn.
S usi*,’h* said (hyly. ‘My own
idea is that Aimey’s mads more on
that rag-ctrpet than she’d a notion
cf; imd a good deal mors than it’s
worth. It’s likely the best invest
uiL-ut she,b ever made.’
‘And meantime,’said gramma,’
‘we will put Tom’s c«r| et ie tho
paiior, and Arineny’s in this room
She’s done what she thought bes«
and it wouldn’t du to huit her
feelings.’
Tlial evening Tom sliiy called
me lo look at Cousin Armenia,
who, with a kitchen-knife in her
hand, was pruning away at the
ros» bushes in the garden, while
the deecor’, seated cross legged on
the fence, was deliberately whit
tling a stick.
•Why, she will ruin the bushes!’
I exclaimed, ‘Bee how she is cut
ting them to piece*. What can
she lm thinking of?’
‘What were you thinking about
Siuis.’eaid Tom, solemnly, ‘that
lime in the parlor when th# doc
tor was saying something i a low
tone and you were delibor tcly
picKing your glares to pieces?’
And then a light flashed upon
me, and I ran out to tell Lizzie
that 1 bad found out what grandpa
had went by Condo* ArrrnniVe
‘investment.’ t r.d L’zz'e laughed
and Slid, ‘how rediouloiifi’ And
then in the same breath, ‘why, how
nios it will be, Bu»is 1 am ever so
gad!’
Next day John and his wife
