One evening on his business, Mr. Fletcher return called from Ruth and Grace, his two daughters, to him. "I have some bad news for you, my dears. Are you brave enougn to oear it?" he said gravely. . "Yes, if it is nothing that v4U part us three!" cried Grace impulsively throwing her arms around her father nd sister. "We can bear anything together, can't we Ruth?" But Ruth said nothing only lifted her eyes in which was a shadow of trouble to her father's face, and wait ed for him to speak. And answering th nnnwL-on niiPtinn in her eVC?, he. said: i in i. 1.1-: t l..n..s fiirt i-orl for 11 x . ...

It is time you had a rest." It was time indeed, for even as she spoke her father sank back in his chair with such a strange, set look Upon his face that sho cried out in horror thinking him already dead. But Ituth bidding her send a servant for Dr. Grey, hastened and brought Vater to moisten her father's lips, and and wine, when that failed to revive him. It was only a rwoon, induced by the ii(er:e strain to Which Mr. Fletcher i; : - n subjected, and soon yielded i ie li-'s iiyed oy the doctor on :.is arrival, vHo waraed him, how ever, of the worBt effects which might foll,w if he did not rest. "How can I rest?" exclaimed Mr. Fletcher fiercely. "Do you know that I am a ruined man? And here is my child',' turning to C)'race uwho talks already of working for me! As if I woulci permit that! I, who have brought them up so tenderly and care fully that not a rough wind has blown upon them. I know you do not mean it, Grace, or I could find it in my heart to hate you for tho thought even." "But I do mean it," began Grace bnve!y. "I wamW " . "There,1 there!" interrupted Dr, Grey, who saw that Mr. Fletcher real ly had not control over himself. "Go away now, you two young ladies. Your father and I will settle matters by ourselves." -When Mr. Fletcher grew quieter the doctor went away, first tellint? .Ruth -and Graco that nothing must be said or cPoneto annoy him, since there was danger of brain fever, from tho excitement under which he had been laboring And indeed almost before affairs were adjusted Mr. Fletcher was seriously ill.

Young girls should have none of those baubles. Their bright ' parkling eyes are all they need. Give them to nie " "Our eyes?" interrupted Grace, saucily. "Ye?, and your ears too Miss Pert," said the doctor, "and listen respectful ly, if you can, w hile I speak." His w ords and manner were gruff, but his noble-heart wa proven by his deeds. lie disposed of the jewelry to such good advantage (as they thought, not knowing that' he himself had kept most bf it, paying far more than its worth) that they were able to hire aiittle house, plainly, but .neatly. 'fur nished, to which, as so-n as it was ready, their father w as moved. "What shall we do sister?" asked i Ruth one night shortly after they were settled in their new home. "We have scarcely twenty dollars left, and there is nothing more to sell." : . "1 mwt disobey father and find some work to do," said Grace. "You are the best nurse, he needs you every moment almost, so I must, be the bread winner for the family." With Grace, to determine was to a -t -The next morning she went to the city in search of employment. "Ituh, w hat do you think?

"But surely you can not go to them!" - ;I must'' said Grace, wvdlv. "It is the only place that offered. Mr. Lev ison does not know that I sent his only son away from his home, or he would not have been so kind to m. 0, how I hate myself for listening to Mary Reetl's lies about my darling!

But, oh! 1 love him so; and I am so sorry,, so orry- Anil poor Grace who had borne her sorrow so silently that not even Ruth knew how she suffered,, broke down now that the barrier of silence was re moved, and went as if her heart were breaking. But the next morn ii.r after ehe had gone to the city (f,r fhe entered at once upon her work), Ruth found a bit of paper on Which, was Written, over and over again L with sweet reiteration: Felix, I love you! Forgive me and come back to met" And sitting down, she wroto a sim ple, trustful little letter to the lover wlio was wandering abroad because of her sister's scof ning, telling him what Grace had said, and enclosing the bit of paper, which, she hoped, would appeal to that lover's heart far better than anything she could say. And Dr. Grey mailed tho letter for her. L So, while day after day Grace was patiently toiling for tho support of the little household, jWhose sole dependence wa.s on her, a white winged missi ve of peace went sailing across the seas ito seek the lover for whom ehe longed so truly. Of course, 'Grace could only see her father for a while each morning and evening. The doctor would in)t per mit him to be told of her work; and when he asked for her, and day after day Ruth's answer was the am& that "Xirace had gone into the city for a little while" he grew angry, and one night accused her of having grown tired of the care of her poor, sick fath er, and of leaving him for the society of her gay, young companions. Ruth could not endure that in si lence. . "Oh father!" she cried. "Do not say such cruel thingsl Grace leaves you not for pleasure, but for hard work. We should starve if it Were not for her! Hhe has earned every dollar we have had for the last month." For a moment her father gazed at her in silent, speechless rage; then his an ger burst forth, and turning to Grace, he said, w ith cruel force: "Bcgoneirom my sight, rebellious, undutiful child! I will hot see you again until you obey 3 my known wishes. I would rather starve than live by ycur work!" With a look of pitying love on her sweet face, almost divine,. Grace turn- ed and left thc room. She knew her father was hot himself ; that the trouble and illness through which he had passed had warped and clouded4 his mind; but even so, his anger was hard tu bear. Just when it seemed that she could endure it no longer, help came. One evening, on her return, Ruth met her at the door with a strange jubilant ace. "Come into the parlor I've some thing for j you," the said, brightly. "Don't wait to takeoff your bonnet." And Grace, "too weary to wonder what her sister meant, followed her sister into the little parlor and found Fe lix. With a loving kiss Ruth left her sis ter; then going straight to her father, with all the power of her loving heart she pleaded for that sister's forgive ness. "Ah! but will my child forgive me?" cried the poor father, who moved by Ruth's pleading, seemed suddenly to realize what lie had done. Grace had come, with Felix, to the door of her father's room; longing to enter and tell him of her new-found happiness for in the rapture of the lovers' meeting all the past had been forgiven and forgotten-rand hearing his vords, she stepped softly in through the open door, just as Mr. Fletcher said: "Go and bring my der girl to me, Ruth. I want to hear her say, 'I for give you, father.' " "There's nothing to forgive. I lore you father dear!" cried Grace, running to him and kissing him fondly. Then, with her head resting on the heart from which she had been for a time banished, she told him of Felix's re turn, and their loving -reconciliation. "7; honors me for my w ork,' she said proudly. "Indeed I do," said Felix, who, at Ruth's bidding, had come into the room, and who now took the invalid's hand in a warm, hearty grasp. "I think so much of her business abilities that I want to make her a partner in l the uew firm of 'Fletcher & Levison.' Will you give your consent sir?" "So!" said Mr. Fletcher, half sadly "I only got my daughter back to lose her again." . r i "You shall not lose me," whimpered Grace, hiding her Hushing face on her father's: shoulder, "Felix won't part u.-." . ; "Father and II will bo 'silent pftft- .. . ; . ners' in the nev firm laughed Ruth.

Lucre tia The afliieion that fell upon the President and his family has brought its various members more distinctly before the nation than was ever the case before, and a warm sympathy has naturally been aroused for the faithful wife and mother, who almost arose from her own sick bed to watch over her husband's. As the farmer's daughter, the pupil, and afterward the teacher in a public school, as the wife of a poor man labor ing at his profession, Mrs. Garfield ear ly learned to practice the virtues that form good w ives and mothers. Fru- gality .simplicity and quiet study filled i up her early life. She shared with her husband a love of books and knowl edge; together they read, relected, gathered faJts and studied to be of use. Their minds advanced equally, and sustained each other, and it would be well for all American women1 could they pursue a career not dissimilar. Mrs. Garfield, whose maiden name was.Ijueretia Rudolph, was born near Hiram, Portage county, Ohio, in 1837. She was the daughter of a respectable farmer, -who" had sufficient means to afford her an excellent education and whose surroundings indicate a love of refinement not generally observable among the sparse population of the place. From her childhood she was thoughtful, amiable and industrious; a id as she grew in years her intellec tual bias became so marked and its fruits so promising that all her fri?ii !' an 1 family entertained, without Lc.- i- tation. thebricrht hoDes that have Ion since been more than realized. In 18oS, Miss Rudolph, Who had beeiij studying at the academy in -whicn President Gartleld was then a professor, became the wife of the latter. The match was one purely of love, inas much as neither party w as overburden ed with wealth. They had, however, what was better and more enduring brave, sturdy and honest hearts, sus tained by a spirit of truth and love, a well as by the supporting arm of a liberal education. From the moment the nuptial knot was tied Mrs.Garfield eet about the business of life more seriously than ever, could such have been possible, and at once began wreathing with flowers the yoke she had assumed w ith such purity and af fectionate strength of soul. Modest as were their means, she made their first new home one of sunshine and of love. And when a young fcwnily began to ot her around her hearth-stone she -:. . ! . ! over that system oi irarwtriai cuaure and cUife to' which some" of even the greatest minds of the aj?e have freery confessed their indebtedness.
