BABBOtm. 1 A pretty little farm-house, painted a snowy white, with blinds of vivid green, stood just outside the small New England village of Waterford. The house was quite new. The shingles on its roof were etill yellow and resinous. It had a trim, smart look pleasing to the eye. A small, old house, painted a dark-brown, stood back a few yards from the pretty white honse. Mr. and Mrs. Jared Drewe had moved from the old house into the new one. They had begun housekeeping as a young married couple in the old house, and they had lived in it twenty-five years. The new house was the culmination of the hopes and plans of many years. Tiue, Drewe bad never liked the old house. It had no "conveniences." The new house had a well right in the kitchen, a big pantry, plenty of closets and a parlor. The old house had had none of these things. "I begin to feel as though I was some body," Mrs. Drewe said at the breakfast table on the morning of the fifth day after they had moved into the new house. "Do, eh?" replied Mr. Drewe. "You wimincn arc great for puttin' on style, I ain't never felt no partie'lar need of a par lor. A common settin'-rootn 's good enough fcr me, or even the kitchen." 'I dont mind settin' in a nice, clean kitchen myfelt," replied his wife, "but 1 don't want all my comp'ny to have to set there speshly the minister and his wife. I've felt the need of a parlor a many a time, if you 'aint.' "Well, you've got one now." "Yes, when I git it furnished." Oh, I reckon you'll want to fill it full of all sorts of flub dubbery woman like." "I'm goin to have things nice, any how. Land knows, I've waited long enough for era." "What you call 'nice?'" "Well, I'm goin? to have a real Brus sels carpet, for one thing, and a muble top table and a plush sofy and lace cur tains and nice chain." "Shucks l'1 Mr. Drewe said, contempt uously, but he did not offer any objec tion to this extravagant outlay of long and carefully hoarded funds. He knew, moreover, that most of this splendor would be purchased out of his wife's own savings. She was a wise woman and had a purse of her own. "Ketch me having to run to Jared o: to any other man ev'ry time I want a lit tle momey," she had said, in the begin ning of their pilgrimage as man and wife. "No, si , my savings shall be my own." Adhering tenaciously to this resolve and ever keeping in mind a time to come when she should have a new house, Mrs. Drewe had money enough to furn ish the house as she pleased. But his wife's Fecond proposition Moused a spirit of decided antagonism in Jared Drcwc: l'I want to have the parlor papered some time next week." "Papered I" Mr. Drcwc l3oked up quickly, sur prise and opposition depicted on every line of his lace. "Yes, papered," replied Mrs. Drewe. "You s'poie I'm going to have bare white walls when cv'rybody else has theirs papcredl" "We'd all bare walls in the old house." "I dou't care if we did, wo kept thinkin' and thinkin' we'd build ev'ry year, and it didn't seem worth while to clo any papcrin' or lixin' up; hut if on reckon I'm goin' to live the rest o' my j day in bare white-walled rooms you'ro i mistaken." She spoke decisively, for she saw un usual depths of opposition in her hus band's large, unbearded face with its square, firm jaw and chin indicative of great firmness of purpose. Uer owu face wore a resolute, emphatic expression. 8hc was a plucky little woman. Her husband had a secret prido in what he called her "grit," although he would have died before he would have confessed it. "I don't see why on earth you object so to a little wall-paper, Jared." "I despise wall-paper,'1 he said, with something like childish perverseness. Mrs. Drewe sat back stiflly in her chair, resolute and deSant. Her black eyes shone as she said "There's no sense in your acliu' so, Jnred Sparks. I'm goiu' to have that parlor papered." "You do, and I'll never set foot in it as long as 1 live aud breathe the breath cf life I- "Fiddlesticks!" ''I never will, Marthy." "What nonsense 1" "I never will !" He rose from the table as ho spoke, took his hat Irom a nail in tbe small entry near the kitchen door and went out to the barn, his every movement seeming to accentuate his resolve Mrs. Drewe did not refer to the mat ter again, but a week from that day, when Mr. T)revc returned home after a day spent in the city five miles distant, he met John Hays, the village paper hanger, coming from the house with an empty paste-bucket and a roll or two of paper under his arm. Stepping into the little front entry, he glanced toward the parlor at the right. The door was open, and he saw his wife standing in the center of the room, look ing with pleased eyes at the four walls around her covered with gorgeous gilt paper cf the most prenounced pattern. She assumed an air of ignorance of any previous discussion of the subject, and asked cheerily "Well, Jared, how do jou liko it? Isn't it lovelv? I think it's just beauti ful." "You remember what I said, Marthy Drev.t?" "Well:" "I'm goin' to sticV to it." "Now, Jared, I" "i'l! never set foot in that- room long as I live and breathe and keep my senses I Never!" He pronounced each word slowly and with marxod emphasis. - Then he turned and went out to the barn.. . '-He'll get ever it," Mrs. Prewe said, ncncfiilly, to herself , but in her secret tout the feared he would mtv . ....: ' He made bo reference to the matter at the suppet table. He even talked cheer fully and pleasantly of the events of bis visit to the city. , - The Brussels carpet, the plash sofa, tbe lace curtains and the : marble top table of Martha Crewe's visions and 'dreams became splendid realities during the next week.. She called her husband to note the general effect when every thing was in place. He came to the open door and looked in. "Come in an' set down in this new patent rocker and see how easy it rocks," she said. . . "No, thank yc," he said, curttj, f I never expect to set in it. She tried to laugh lightly, as she said "Pshaw, Jared? Don't be so silly!" He turned and walked away in si lence. The minister and his wife . came out from the village to call, the next day. Mrs. Drewe ushered them into the gor geous parlor, her heart swelling with pride. Jared came to the door with an old wooden chair from the kitchen. plumped it down flat and hard on the oil cloth of the entry floor, and sat there during the entire call. "You never ever come in to shake hands with 'em," Martha said, afterward. "I know it." "What you s'pose they'll think?" "DuDno what." "If that's the way you're goin' to act ev'ry time anybody calls here, I'd thank you to keep out o' sight altogether." "I reckon I want to see folks much as you do." "I've a notion to go and have ev'ry room in the house papered," she said, hotly. "Then I'll take up my abode in the tavern," she replied, calmly. "Tho Drewes always was a stubborn set, but I vuni I didn't s'pose Jared could be so pig-headed," she said when he had left the room. Shu had many callers during tho next few weeks. The fame of her gorgeous parlor brought her friends and acquaint ances to behold its splendors. Jared sat at the door on the old woodon chair during nearly all of these calls. He was careful not to Ice even the toe of his boot cuter the despised loom. The sharp eyes of some of Mrs. Drewc's callers soon noticed Jared's pe culiar conduct; their keen noses scented domestic discord. "What's the matter of Jared?" asked Sarah May, Mrs. Drewc'e sister, n few weeks after the papering and furnishing of the parlor. "NothiDg that I know of," replied Martha. "Whst makes you ask?'' "Didn't he want you to buy your par lor things?" "He didn't care. Whatever put that idea into your head, Sally?'' "They say he won't set in one of the parlor cheers, nor evea step into the room." "Who Fays so? "Oh, it's common talk. I've been asked about it more'u once." Mrs. Drewe went home greatly dis tressed and humiliated. She was a sensitive little woman, notwithstanding her "grit," and she could not endure the thought of having her domestic af fairs made a subject of common gossip. She was rigidly truthful, teo, and she was forced to admit to her sister that she and her husband had had a disagreement. She felt hotly rebellious toward Jared as shs entered the pretty little new house in which she had expected to bs so happy. Jared was lying on the lounge in his shirt-sleeves and stockinged feet, reading the weekly paper. "Well," said Martha, while untying her bonnet-strings, "it's got out." "What's got out!" " 'Bout you styin' you'd never set foot in the parlor." "I can't help it if it has," he said im pertubably. "Can't help it!" she cried, hotly; "you can help it any miunit, Jared Drewe!" "How?" "Why, by simply giving up your mulishness and co niug into the parlor next time we have company." "Humph!" said Jared, and resumed the reading of his paper. Martha raged inwardly. So many of her plans were thwarted by jared's "mulishness." She had the deserved reputation of being a very "sociable" woman, and she had planned to have "a sight of com p'ny" in the new house. She had often pictured to herself the tea-parties and tho dinner-parties she should give. She had even planned a grand housewarm ing, with a supper that should surpass anything of the kind ever given in that neighborhood. It was hard to have all these fair dreams coming to naught. "For I can't invite com'pny with Jared actin' so. He'd have to be in tho parlor some," she said to herself, often with hot tears in her eyes. The summer days waned into those of autumn, and the autumn days gave place to the winds and snows of late Novem ber, and still the feet of Jared Drewe had never crossed the threshold of bit own parlor and Martha had suffered un told mortification on his account. Tbey were sitting alone in rather gloomy silence at the close of a dark and and stormy day in late November. She had never been confined to her bed a day in her life and a slight indisposition usually made her irritable.' She felt that it would be in some degree a disooBj8 for her to be ill. It was with as much pride as gratitude that she remembered that neither she nor Jared had ever needed the services of a physican. But she looked ill enough to need one now. There were great black hollows under her dull eyes, her cheeks were flushed, her lips dry, and" she crept about slowly and languidly. "Better let me go for the doctor, Mar thy," Jared had said several times. "I b'lieve your're sicker 'n you reckon you air." "I've an idee I'll be better in the morning. I'm goin' to take a dose of them bitters that helped me so when I was kind o' ran down in the summer. Wish you'd get 'em for me." "Where are they I" he ssked, -rising from his chair, the paper he had been reading still in his hand. ' ; "X ; "Oh, there're in the the Bet down, Jared, I'll get up and get 'em mvself." - -v -. ' ' . She was lying on the lounge at the bme and she . sat up paint unr . aua slowly; while he hastened to tav: "j 1. "No, no, Marthy j lay stilL PU get 'em. Where ere-they?" Sifrafe. : . "They' re in that little corner closet in the parlor, JaTed."''VS':V iV:.;' Ho stared blankly at her for mo ment, hie face crimsoning ; he took a step forward and then dropped back heavily into his chair and held thj paper up before his face in silence. His wife rose without word'and feebly walked across the floor, breathing heavily and keeping herself from falling by leaning on tables and chairs. . Jared watched her furtively while pretending lo read. There was a visible twitching cf the corners ot bis mooth ence, and his teeth, set close together, shewed be tween his parted lips. Tbe hand that held the paper trembled, but he sat till. f His wife slowly groped her way across the hall. He held tbe parlor door open. He heard the door ot tbe little closet swing back, creaking slightly on its hinges. Then he heard Martha fall. He ran to the open door of the parlor. Sho was lying at full length, face down ward,pn the floor. "Marthy! Marthy!" he cried; but he stopped short, with his toes on the parlor threshold, his stubborn, inBxible will loth to bend or break even to give aid to tbe wife he truely loved. "Marthy I O, Marthy!" he called, stretching his arms far Into the room to ward her. "Lordy, Marthy, come here, and I'll do everything I kin for you. Roll over, if yon can't walk, Marthy I" He dropped to his knees, bent his great body forward and tried to reach hsr, but failed by several feet. There was a ludi crous side to it all. 'Marthy 1" he fairly shrieked. She neither moved nor spoke, but sud denly she gave a pitiful groan. "Good Lordl What an old fool I be!" cried Jared, suddenly leaning back and striking his breast with his clenched fists. "A foolan'a beast to let the best wife any man ever had suffer a second, when I might help herl Tbe Lord forgive me!" He bounded to her side as he spoke, and took her limp and unconscious form up in his arms, saying, as he did so. "It'll be a judgment on me if she dies. The best wife in the world ! Marthy I Marthy, dear! What ails ye?" He seldom called her "dear." He did so now with great tenderness and gentle ness. "Marthy, can't ye open your eyes? See, dear; I'm in the parlor. I'll come in it right along now. The paperin' reely sets it off. I've thought so from the fust, but I was too cussed stubborn to say so. Oh, Marthy! What is the matter?" For she did not even open her eyes. It was seven weeks before she left the bedroom to which he carried her. Ho had been one of the tcudercst and most patient of nurses, but the word "parlor" had never passed cither his lips or hers during all that time. She had thought much about it, how ever, but not with pride or pleasure, be cause she had no hope that Jared would ever enter it now, and the wall-paper could not be removed. He carried her out tenderly and gently the first time she left her room. "Want me to carry ye into the parlor, Marthy?" he asked, after he had her in his arms. "It's suuny and bright in there. I've got a good fire in the stove aud tho the wall-paper shines beauti fully." She looked up with shining eyes and the first llush there had been in her cheeks for many weeks. "If you would carry me in and lay me on the sofv awhile, JareJ. "Why I I Oh, .Tared! What docs it mean? I thought you Oh, Jared 1" for as he carried her out into the dining- room and through the sitting-room to the ball she saw that all the once bare and cold and staring white walls were covered with more expensive and beau tiful paper than she herself would have bought. There was a warm, red and black car pet on the hall floor, a new sarpet for tbe I sitting-room, new and pretty chairs and : tables here and there, and a narrow in a gilt frame between the two front-parlor windows that reached nearly from the j floor to the ceiling. When she caught i a reflection of their faces in the shining j glass, she saw in both a kinder, gentler, tenderer look than either had worn for j years. Nete York Ledger. 1 SELECT SIFTIXUS.

Thebb are a good many men in the pulpit who would not be there if they hod not misunderstood the Lord. "Whosoever is wise, and will observe tbese things, even .they shall under stand the loving kindness of the Lord." As LONoas the devil can make an out sider believe he is as good as a church member, he has a sure hold on him. God wants the gospel sent to foreign lands as much for the good of the church at home as for the good of tbe heathen. Il takes a great deal of powerful preaching to get much money out of a man who carries a long strap around his pocket-book. One reason why the world seems to move so slow is because there are so many people who want to sit on the fence and whittle. The man who can do an honest day's work when the circus is in town, never has to wear his shoes ont in looking for employment It is only when the church ceases to need money that church members are released from their obligations to give according to their ability. It may be that we could never see tbe stars shine if we lived in the sun. It tukes a touch of darkness sometimes to tell us how near to usGcd is. When you find a minister who has trouble about getting his salary, you generally find one who ha neglected to preach the religion of giving. We don't know anything abont Peter's wife, but there wasn't any dis count on his mother-in-law. She went to work for the Lord as soon as he onred her. One reason why the ohnrch is cramped for money is because there is not more praying being done by people who take their pocket-books into the ohurch with them. FeatUered Burgoous. Some interesting observations relating to the surgical treatment of wonnds by birds were recently brought by M. Fatio before the Physical Society of Geneva. He quotes tbe case of ' the snipe, which be has often observed en gaged in repairing damages. With its beak and feathers it makes a very cred itable dressing, applying plasters to bleeding wonnds and even eeenring a broken limb by means of a stout liga ture. On one occasion he killed a snipe which had on the chest a large dressing composed of down taken from other parts of the body and securely fixed to the wound by the ooagnlaled blood. . Twice he had brought home snipe with interwoven feathers strapped ! on to tbe site of of fraoture oi one or other limb. The most interesting ex ample was that of a snipe both of whose legs he had unfortunately broken by a misdirected shot He reoovered the animal only on the day following, and he then found that the poor bird had contrived to apply dressings and a sort of splint to both lambs. I7.n carry ing out this operation some feathers had become entaugled around the beak, and not being able to use its claws to get rid of them, it was almost dead from hnnger when discovered. In a case recorded by M. Magnin, a snipe which was observed to fly away with a broken leg, was subsequently found to have forced tho fragments into a parrallel position, the upper fragments reaching to the knee, and secured them there by means of a strong band of feathora and moss intermingled. The observers were particularly struck by the appli cation - of . a ligature of a kind of flat-leafed grass wound ronnd the limb of a spiral form and fixed by means of a sort of glue.
