her birthday gift.
(I'mily lln Godey’s T.nSv' Hook.)
“We should not count our years a mis
fortune, and to be c iudid, this my 4Uth
birthday, is lint one day ot my life that
1 have < (instantly looked tonvard to with
Satisfaction.”
"Since yesterday?" X asked, doubt
, fully.
j "since I was a mere girl in my teens —
that is the period considered the happiest
in a woman s life, is it not .' I fancy lam
comtbtitionally timid, for I have always
bad an almost morbid horror of putting
myself in a position that 1 could not break
away from. '
“ ilarriaee being one of them?” 1
asked.
I But she did not seem to hear me, and
continm d
“ Anti then there veto constant, difficult,
teasin .n, -turns to decide, amt even pro
vokingl; trivial thing grew important if
1 bad to deal with them, and 1 was so
, easily ft ighu .ted. "
| “And so, “ 1 lagan, for hrances had left
off spe.iki’ ■- and seemed to have forgotten
i my ( Xisteece.
j " And s, "she rejreated, shaking her
self out o her musings, “1 usi Ito say,
when I am 40 lite will be worth living.
There will be nothing more to happen that
isunusuai.no more important decisions
to be mad.. The rest of o .e's days will
be spent in a pleasant monotony. A few
every ay worries that no mortal can
. escape, sickness perhajis, tint nothing un
usual to bear, nothing in the future to
; torment me "
“And is that your idea of a satisfactory
'life?”
j I could only ask questions, for had I
no sympathy in r rmices’ mood that night,
I "Anything is better than tile eternal
I questions, whether we have done right or
' wrong, wisely orfoolislily, ” she answered,
! irrelevantly. “Whether one has sacrificed
1 ones life, or escaped a misfortune. Now
|at fit. lam4o to night, you know. ”
( f course 1 knew it was Frances birth-
I day, for it was to keep the least, that 1
sat. metaphorically, by her fireside.
“i-orty seems a load of years to carry,
. and ye 1 Wonder w hat it is that maaes
lone old, for to tell the tru.h 1 do net
feel a bit older than 1 d d ten years ago,
' and not nearly as old as 1 did this night
I twenty-two yeais. Then 1 dropped my
youth as we might an ill-fitting garment.
1 here was no possible way of altering it,
and sol nd myself of it altogether
Certainly I can say tonight that i ata
better sa is led. more con.ented. and——"’
“Happier,” 1 suggested, but Frances
. did not appropriate me word.
i “t omfortable, *hat belter expresses the
idea, unless one couni honestly say satis-
I fa<tory. ”
I 1 was very sure Frances could not.
There coui.t be little satisfact.on in a
I woman s life devoir of near kinsfolk,
I fretted by small economies, and without
i a home for a tidrd story back room, even
i in a comfortable beaming house has but
i few (pialities of home pervading it. “ 1 ou
i had emiu .li in your youth to make life
I very satisfactory, ” 1 said, for 1 remcm
| bend when i ranees' father had been the
hading lawyer at our bar, and had lived
iu more st : than most of us.
" 1 had i... re money, ” she said, with a
shrug of her shoulders; "1 would like
some of it now, for it needs more to keep
ones self respectable at 40 than at lb.
Bm 1 am mu, unhappy from the want of
momy Ones great st misfortune is to
have a history, it has all the properties
of a ghost, and is hard to Jay. 1, lor in
stance—”
1 looked up quickly at Frances then as
qu.ckly turned my gaze to the tire, 1 was
going lo say, but in fact to the stove. I
le't the natural flutter of pleasure that one
feels when one e friends are confidential,
and place you on a dilTerent footing than
ydu ever were before. It is subtle Hat
ter as well as a mark of trust when some
friends coutide to your keeping a personal
history.
Whether it was the clock striking 10, or
somethin, quite as trivial that gave Fran
ces thou ;hls a turn, 1 couid not guess,
for instead of a history 1 had long wished
to hear, she fed me ou cake and wine in
honor of her birthday, which she pro
du cd from a convenient closet. After
that We dialled quie lv, gossiping a little,
but harmlessly, and working up yards of
Huffy wool with our knitti i; needles.
It was the growth of m . work that re
minded me of the lapse of time, for 1 had
given my own senaul. a holiday, and ex
pected to walk home alone. But 1 had no
fears, no matter wiiat the time, for our
village always giew more quiet as the
hour shorti . their numbers. The moon
was l ull and the only disagreeable part of
my leaving was to creep liae a thief past
the closed doors i f the sleeping boarders.
“Good-eight, and do not let, the ghost
of the pa l trouble you. slumbers, ” 1
whispered to Frances, as she let me out
the I rent door.
“ You know' I have entered into the
charmed age v> hen there is nothing more
I to happen, ” she answered in a low key;
| and 1 do not kn <w why, for we were not
1 demon tr. live wouie.-q we kissed each
; other as we said good-night.
I knew Frances was watching me until
I 1 tinned the corner, which, as 1 did, I had
th< uncomfortable accident of running
i into anr ii--not metaphorically into his
I arm.-, but, literally, 1 ran into the man
himself. J could not have done so if he
j had been walking, for, as I said the moon
| wa- full, so la must have been dodging
> amongst the tin to be run into. Os
; course he begged my pardon, and I, a
i litile sin., at the frig.it he gave me,
i gtanted it in doing so i looked at him
! “i ood heavens!” I exclaimed, “is it you,
I Miles Mid lieton. or your ghost?”
“How did you recognize me after all
■ these ea s?” he asked, iiirlf pleased, half
! disappointed.
“Come in, ” I said, being at my own
door. “We cannot stand talking at mid
night in the streels. ”
X let myself in by the night key, and
put up the ;as light to its full power be
fore I turned to welcome poor .Miles back
to his native village. For twenty-two
years he had been away, for twenty-two
years h s name had been spoken by his
fric; ds with bated breath, as if be were
amongst the quiet dead, or far worse,
amongst the sinking. In the glare of the
gas light I turned to look at him. It was
the same Mnes I had always known,
twenty-two years older, 1 never would
have gue-sed if J iiad not known the dale
of our hist meeting; twenty-two pounds
heavier, which was an improvement. A
i guilt conscience and an impaired diges
tion bad not been among his evils all these
years. His hair had not lost its color,
though it grew thinner on the temples and
on the crown of his head, and his eyes
had the same frank, fearless look in them,
I hi« meuth the same winning -mile.
“Uh, Miles, ” X cried, wuh both bands
outstretched, “why d d you ever gt, away
i and all these years make no -ign? ”
“Because ” he answered, taking both
my proffered hands, “Frances doubted
me. ”
“Ilow do you know she did?” I asked.
“You gave her no chance to speak. Peo
ple said dreadful things of y ou which you
di l not deny, but ran away. ”
“1 did not run,” he said, hotly; “I
xtayed - nite iong enough to see that some
friends doubted me; not you, I am sure.
I Even that 1 ■ ould have borne if Frances
. ha . been true. "
“Y ou gave her no chance,” I main
; tainerl “Ho you think I have forgotten
that miserable eve ung? It all seems as
yesterday; the birthday fete, the color of
the sun.-et c uds, the pink ribbon Frances
wore in a knot at her threat. 1 oor girl!
; she was as white as her dress when her
own father accused you of ”
“M by do you not go on and say steal
ing he said, sharply.
"Because we don’t use such ugly words
nowadays; embezzling is more genteel. X
i was indignant and said so dish things —”
And t rances said nothing, ” he inter

as a mere triend would nave doner Be
sides, you would make no denial. Her
pale, pleading face did not move you.
'if they cli s.- to believe such things of
you they might,’ you said in foolish
pride. ”
"You forget how young 1 was, mid
how hurt I was," he answered, softening
Ui d< r my vituperation.
"1 remember Frances was some years
y ounger, and frightened for you as’well
as hurt. You gave her no chance to re
trieve n hurried first step, or rather a mis
taken inaction, for y ou went at once away
—the best thing you could do, some said,
but the most cowardly, 1 thought, mid
left no mice for all these years. ”
“ 1 said t would not come back until X
could bring proof of my innocence. ”
■'That wns not necessary to those who
really cared for you. 1 esides, the man
who took the money confessed hi- did so
ten years ago. Heath lorced him to
confi But this is, 1 fancy, no news
to you. ”
“ i heard it last week, ” he said, and
then ndded, "You have just left her?”
“Yes. ” X said, "we Xmvo boen keeping
her birthday. ”
“ 1 heard her speak to you nt the door.
Has she i hanged? be asked, and then
looked as if he wished he had not.
“ Most of us do in twenty years, " I s-dd,
evasively. “ You seem to have the a-, ret
of keeping young. - Frances will be
pleased, ” I added, partly because X my
self resented seeing him a handsome,
middle aged man, while she had faded out
of all her girlish prettiness.
“Her voice has not changed in the
least,” he said. “X would have known it
any where. Do you think she will see
! me?”
"She must," I said with decision, and
together we planned their meeting. 1 was
to send to Frances early in the morning
before there was any chance of the men
tion of the advent of a stranger iu our
placid village. So the trysting, after
twenty two years of separation, was to ue
in my parlor “Poor Frances!” 1 thought,
: as 1 lay awake thinking of the meeting
next morning, "your forty years have not
brought you the calm, steady pulse, and
the plea-ant monotony you . ovel tai
unytuing be more stirring and upsetting
than an unlooked-for honey moon at 40.
After all, it is doubtful whe. her we are
ever too old toescape a responsibility or
; heartache, or, perhaps, a happiness.
Miles came before Frances; indeed be
i fore Iliad finished my breakfast He was
dread.idly nervous and fearful she would
I not come in spite of my nicely worded
I message. There must have been some
; stirring in the air, some bird to hint a se
cret, for 1 never saw Francos, faded as
she was, look sweeter. It was like the
I smell of withered rose-leaves, and the
. faint pink of them was in her cheeks.
"I have a birthday gift that came too
i late last night to bring you, ’ Lsaid, meet
ing her on my threshold.
i The pink in her cheeks died out for a
moment, then came back in the loveliest
girlish blush. “1 rave you had news of
Miles?” she asked. “ I dreamed last nighi
he came back—the same handsome fellow.
i You told me. 1 would see ghosts. ”
“1 did not mean to prophesy such a sub
stantial one, ” 1 said quickly, and then
I gently pushed her into the parlor, closing
i the door ou them, leaving them to them-
I selves, while X dreamed of a wedding and
bride's cake.
1 or no one could say that Frances bad
outlived her prettiness, for of all beauti
tiers happiness is the one to be depended
upon, ai d as for age —Frances never, to
Imy knowledge, kept another birthday. I
really think she dated back to the day she
lost her lover, and was ashamed of being
so very young. Some of our young peo
ple laughed a good deal at so old a bride,
but a loud laugh does not always cover up
wit, and a happy smile is worth hundreds
of such crackling thorns, to my thinking,
and Miles Middleton agrees with me.
NOT ALONE. x4“'

A London letter describes a novel dish
introduced by a cockney restauranter
; called " Pepper pot ” The mess is made
of meat and spices preserved till three
1 years old by the introduction of a West
India vegetable liquid called cassareep.
( assarcep is the juice pressed out of the
cassava, and in its raw state is a deadly
poison. It is the basis of tire stuff the
Carib Indians use to poison their a;rows
wiih. But when boiled it is perfectly
harmless, and possesses the curious prop
erty of preserving meat for any length
of time In the West Indies the “pepper
pot” is always on the go; it is never en
tirely emptied, and the contents are added
to day by day, Any pieces of cold meat
—pork is best—and fish go into the pot.
01 course there are spices and sauces put
in to give the stew a flavor, beside the
cassareep, which, in addition to its pre
servative and antiseptic qualities, has a
distinct, if slight, flavor of its own. A
bottle of this peculiar sirup produced for
inspection, was of a deep mahogany color,
ai dos the r onsistency of molasses, much

Notwithstanding the vast sums of
money lavished by Great Britain upon her
palace of Westminster, she now finds the
commons chamber wholly unfit for the
purpose for which it was designed, and
discussion of a new chamber has already
begun. The size of the present chamber
is based upon the idea that the best thing
1 members have to do is not to listen to de
bates. There is not near seating capacity
for all the members, neither is there proper
ventilation. Members also begin to de
