They had been clearing and rearrang ing their luxuriant parlor, and now that the work waa done, the laat particle of dut removed and everything aet back In place, lira. Lane looked about her with the utmost oomplaoenoy and there wu a. world or aatlafaotlon In her voice aa the laid : 'There, Jenny, thla la all right now. Drop. the ourtalna and then the room will be-ready for company any time;" and the went oat, closing the door be hind her carefully. Left alone, Jenny dropped upon a eofa opposite a Urge mirror and look ing around the room with lta graceful appolntmeutf, ahe ilghed heavily, say ing to herself, "It is pleasant here with the beautiful aunihlne streaming in. I 'do wish we could sit here part of the time Instead of always staying in those dingy back rooms. I believe we ahould all feel better ; but then, mother don't .think so," and she rose wearily to dar ken the room. An nour later Mr. Lane, strode rapidly up the gravelled walk, with all the haste whloh a hungry buslneae man feels, when approaching his home at dinner-time. Turning the knob hur ried! he wheeled impatiently about and walked around to tne siae-aoor, muttering to himself : "I wish Maria wouldn't keep forever locking that door as if the front ball was too good for a man to walk through In his own hoase." The dining-room was empty and dark, and after waiting a few minutes he pro ceeded to the kitchen where, as he ex pected, his wife and girls were Just set ting the dinner upon the table. The room was hot, uncomfortable and swarming with, flies, the floor was dirty and the air filled with the odors of burned bread and fried meat. His brow contracted when he sat down to the Ill-cooked meal that was served up on a soiled table-cloth beside a hot stove, and he bit bis lip in vexa tion that his wife did not think him worthy of any better treatment than that. But experience had taught him that remonstrance was foolishness. "I told you that I was going to keep the d inlng-room nice after it was painted and fixed up," she explained. If your cousin Eunice felt as if she must go home, I was willing to have he go, so we could shut up the front part of the house, and keep the furni ture from fading, and put away the best dishes. I never should have any thing decent If I wasn't particular with what I've got, and that is why I have to be oareful of the best things. I have got the dining-room fixed to my mind now, and I mean to keep it so as long as I can; we can just as well eat in the kitchen, when there is nobody here but ourselves." Mr. Lane rushed from the house as soon as had swallowed his unrellshed dinner, leaving his wife to wonder that he spent so little of his time at home. "0, Jenny, what did you put ou that pink dress for?" . Mrs. Lane looked up from her work in consternation, when Jeuny oame from her room an hour later. your old calico is plenty good enough to wearwhen there is nobody here, and do you go and take this right off and hang it away until we have com pany.' , "I won't hurt it any, mother." the srlrl renlled hesltatlnirlv. "I am sure m u r -j we want to look well for ourselves, and I think father likes to see us fixed up a little sometimes." "Nonsense, child. Do as I tell you; and don't you put that on again unless there is somebody here; It la setting Fanny a bad example, and I .won't en , courage such silly notions." : pays ana weeks went by. and the Summer slipped into Autumn, while the Lanes were still pursuing the even tenor ef their way, save new and then when they werejostled aside a little by the advent of visitor!.- Bift they always fell baok on their old habits, as sooa as' the company had , gone, shutting up their, pleasant roomst and putting away (he prettiest and be It ta strange ho Hr Lane could hate. been In a pleasant mood when huvpoffee wu muddy It wasn't worth the while to make anything nloe for one's own folks when the toatt was burned, and the breakrast table looked ao shabby with Its old cracked dishes, It Is strange howheoould have beru In a pleasant mood, but he smiled and looked kindly at his wife one morning, proposing what she loved to hear best of anything that she should go to a neighboring vil lage and spend a week with her dear old friend, Mrs. Darling. "The girls are ao large they can get along very well without you for a few days," he said; "then I will Uke them and oome after you, ao we will all have a little recreation." The preparations were speedily made, and Mrs. Lane departed having charged her daughters to do everything to her absenoe Just as when she wu at home, to let alone the uuoes and aweetmeats, and all the dainties which she kept for visitors she had looked to them, and knew they would be rure and not to ue any of the "company things." She and Mrs. Darling bad been very dear friends in their girlhood, and, un like many others, had kept their mutual attachment after they were married. Tbelr husbands were chums at col lege; had begun life at the same time, and under similar circumstances, and were now both of them doing a good and successful business. Mrs. Darling had two daughters, of aoout the same ages u Jenny and Fanny Lane,and then there were three younger children, black-eyed, fun-loving boys. "Nellie is at home," Mrs. Lane had said to her husband; "for she wrote to me last week; and I believe I shan't send her word that I am coming. It will be so much ple&santer to give her a surprise." It wu evening when she stepped from the cars at the end of her Journey, and taking a coach she went at once to her friend's home. "The front rooms are lighted," she exclaimed to herself with some con sternation u she stopped at the door, "I should so much rather have found them alone. Oh, dear I" "Mrs. Darling opened the door her self, ushering her frlond into the 11 bary, and the two exchanged greet ings with all the warmth of their youger days. They were so occupied that Mrs. Lane quite forgoMier first Impressions until she went out to the dining-room to par take of the tea which Mrs. Darling as sured her wu in waiting. Then when the cheerful murmur of happy voices floated out through the open parlor doorB, her first impression returned to her, and looking up she said: "You have company to night, Nellie? You must not let mo keep you from them any longer." "Yes, the best of company," replied Mrs. Darling with a smile, "my hus band and children. Fred has Just gone out, though ; but he will be back by the time you have finished your tea, and theu you shall see them all. Let me fill your cup again." "How odd," thought Mrs. Lane, "that she should open the parlor Just for her own family." The evening passed pleasantly; and In the morning when Mrs. Lane arose, the air of comfort with which every bright room in the house seemed full, was very refreshing. The morning meal wu a simple one, but its tasteful arrangement made it very inviting, and Mrs. Lane partook of it with a keener relish than she had known for many a week. Dinner was all ready when Mr. Darl ing came in from his office, and as they sat down to the neatly-laid table in the shaded dining-room, Mrs. Lane thought she had never seen a happier circle, or eaten a better meal, though there was nothing sumptuous placed before them. "Nellie," said she, when they were left alone, "I told you not to go making company for me. I did not want you to get out your best dishes, nor put yurself to the least trouble on my ac count." "It is exactly what I have not done, Maria," she replied, "because I never do itfor anybody. "t never saw any reason why I should take more pains for a guest than for my husband and children. "We occupy the pleasantest room ourselves, because we feel better when our surroundings are cheerful, and we always prepare our food and set our table carefully and neatly. Our meals are so muoh more enjoyable. "Then I let my company take me Just ul am, jure if they come to see me they will be satisfied to live at I do." "Well, if you on afford to use every thing common and live in style all the time, you wjll get along, but we should come upon the town,' said Mrs. Lane, a little sharply, - An expression of pain flitted across Mrs. Darling's face when she saw how her; friend jiad mlsnrderfttpod her, hut he went on, quietly v" ' ' T "I Old not begin housekeeping ln-thia . ... . A. I best of everything sacred to company. Bo we occupied the smallest, least plea ssnt rooms ourselves, used the plainest and homeliest things, and even ate our coarsest food when alone. consequence wu we were never rrr ha receive company unless In the most formal way, and then it always made a great deal of trouble. " We never oould appreciate any of those agreeable surprises when our friends drop In un announced, and when trying to enter tain, guests were never so fully at ease in our strange, unused rooms as really to enjoy It much., "I thought the matter over and made up my mind that this wu all wrong. My dear husband wu doing everything he oould to make our home pleasant and attractive, while I wu Just keeping him from enjoying It u he desired by my miserable ambition to appear well In the eyes of those who would never thank me for ray pains. I wu making him uncomfortable and worrying out my life for those who had comparatively no claims upon me; and besides I wu forced to myself a wicked hypocrite, forced to admit that my whole life wu a farce, while I wu all the time strsln Ing every nerve to make our friends think we were living In a atyle which we were not, and I saw this could not be right. "I resolved It should be so no longer. So I opened the parlor doors and threw back the shutters, used whatever we had of furniture or food or clothing u we needed it for our comfort, and when our friends came to visit us, I would not allow myself to spoil my Joy at see ing them, by doing a lot of extra work on their account, or worrying all the time lest I should leave something un done that might make them think a little better of me. "Of course It seemed fedd enough, and came rather hard at first, but I was satisfied It was the best way, and so I kept schooling myself Into it till in a little while 1 wondered how I ever did otherwise. "I am always ready for company now, and always ready to receive my husband with a smiling face to a plea sant and orderly borne. "I know he hu been a great deal happier since the first year, and I never half enjoyed anything then. "The effect upon our children is much better than if we taught them it Is no matter how things are if there are no visitors, for they learn now how to behave with propriety at all times, and how to use those things that are worth preserving. "I always pity people when I see them trying to make a little display be fore their company, pity them for the thankless labor they are giving them selves, and for the glimpse of their pri vate llfo which is Just opened up to me, because I am quite sure sudh folks live about u it happens when alone." Mrg. Lane's face had changed ex pression several times as she listened, and when her friend ceased speaking she gazed at a picture on the wall' op posite her for a full half minute in silence. "You would be surprised," Mrs. Darling went on, anticipating her first objection, "if I should tell you that this mode of living is a matter of economy, .too, but such Is the fact. You see we set a plain table, and our food is simple 'all the time, instead of getting expensive luxuries for com pany, and then pinching ourselves in the vain effort to make it np. 4 "This makes our table expenses actu ally less, while we treat ourselves u well as we do our guests, which is per fect justice, u you wiltsee. "Good, substantial furniture will last a long time with a little care, even when in constant use, and if our ex pense in this particular are a little more than our neighbors who keep every thing for company, I am sure our greater happiness much more than com pensates," stroking little George's head tenderly u he came up to her with some childish request. The subject wu dropped here, but In the few days that Mrs. Lane remained with her friends, she thought the mat ter over a great many times. It was hard for her to realize that she saw the family Just u they always were In their common everyday life; that with them there wu no suoh thing as "company manners," or "company things." "1 enjoyed my visit a great deal bet ter, though, than If X had made them turn aside from their beaten track," she admitted; "and I believe they do, too." V,! "Wonder if Mr, Lane loves me u Mr. Darling seems tyf Jove bis wife?" she would aneryv 'or if our children think as much Of their father and mother u their'ado?" A "How devoted to each other they all are; one would think they each re garded the other members of the family u the Ttvrj best of company " and one dayshe even went so far as to ask her self, "Why shouldn't they ?" way. I usea to IbMK mat t must snut up the front of the house and keep the Mr. lane and the girls came at length to spend the last day of their visit with her; and when Mrs. Lane saw how thoroughly they seemel to enjoy It, she almost reproached benwlf that such days were ao rare to them. "Perhaps I might mako their home a little pleuauter foriJiem," she mused. "I am afraid our niUgre life wlJl seem emptier than ever now." The two friend were sitting In the library alone that lut night, whither they had gone for a confidential chat after the others had retired. "Nsllie," Bald Mrs. Lane, at length, "I believe I shall try an Improvement when I get home." "As you aay, It does seem wrong to treat company so much better than your own folks, and I am so charmed with your more excellent way that I moan to try it myself," and tear came to her eyes u the thought of the better things that were in store for her good husband. The Lanes went home on the follow ing day, and If they turned back re luctantly, Mrs. Lane did not wonder, for she thought She had herself paiwcd one of the happiest weeks In her whole life. She laid her tea table With unusual care that nfght saying to the girls that she oould not quite yet bear se strong a contrast to what she had been accus tomed to lately, '-1 think we will nit in the parlor to-night," she remarked when the lamps were lighted ; "we are so tired, perhaps it will rest us a little." When Mr. Lane came home to dinner next day, be wu surprised to see the front door standing invitingly open, and his utonbihment wu still greater u he passed on into the dining-room and found a tempting dinner waiting there with plates for only four. "I thought we would begin to eat these pickles while they are good this year," said Mrs. Lane, as she passed the dish to her husband, "instead of keeping them to fpoll as we did last year." "This is such a pudding as Nellie makes sometimes," filling Jennie's bsu- cer;"!n't it nice? Aud it isn't at all expensive." "I think, girls," she said, when Mr. Lane had gone out, wondering in his heart what had come over his wife, "I think we won't use those cracked frag ments of so many different sets of crockery any more, at leut on tho ta ble. I believe the dinner tastes better when eaten from the white dishes, and there are enough for ourselves and com pany, too; we can be a little oareful of them, you know." "Expecting anybody to-night?" que ried Mr. Lane at tea, glancing at his wlfe'a fresh dress and nicely combed hair. "Yes," she replied pleasantly, "I hoped my husband would spend the evening with me." He did not need any urging; and after that he spent more of his evenings at home, and seemed to enjoy the so ciety of his wife and daughters better than ever before. "I am doing aa I told you, 1 should," Mrs. Lane wrote to her friend, Mrs. Darling a month afterward, "and it works charmingly. Mr. Lane seems to love his home as well u your husband does his now, and we are all a thousand fold happier. I feel u if our friends enjoy coming to see us a great deal better than they used to, too. I assure you we shall never go back to the old way of living. We are much happier now than when we thought we must save everything to show off when com pany comes." H Dmjm Wf h Ceatarj. The present boiling weather makes interesting a retrospective glance over the hot weather oor ancestors bad to endure. Mr. 3. A. Wheelock, of Hart ford, contribute a record of the hot test days of each year for the past cen tury, in which it is noted that the heat of the Centennial year is not without parallel. In 1776 the warmest day for the British was July 4, but the 13th of August was toe warmest day for Con necticut, thermometer 103 degrees in the shade. Other days of extreme heat were July 2, 1790, 110 degrees ; AnguRt 4, 1791, 115 degrees; August 13, 1793, 108. From this no very warm weather wu noted until 1838, July 4, 107 de grees. In 1846, July 19, showed 110 de grees, aud the same date in 1867, 109. The warmest days in the past ten years were : 1866, August 4, 100 degrees; 1867, July 19, 109; 1868, July 7, 105; 1869, August 4. 104; 1870, July 17,105; 1871, May. SO, 98 ; 1872, July 4, 106 ; 1873. August , 103; 1874. August 19. 104; 1875, July 6, 105 ; 1876, July 9, 103 ; Sev eral cool years are noted in which the temperature did not rise above 100 de grees, the hottest days being: 1873. August 11, 98 ; 1801, August 4. 96 ; 1811, August 17, 98 ; 1816, August 10, 93 ; 1818, August 83, 08 : 1835, August 19, 96 ; 1853, May 80, 90; 1855, August 6, 98; 1871, May 80, 98. It will be seen that the hottest day during the last century oc curred August 4,1791, when the mer cury stood at 115 in the shade. The coldest summer was that of 1816. when the mercury rose only to 93 in the shade a cool, wet summer, with frost every month during the year in the Northern State During the past 100 years the highest point of mercury oc curred only three times in the month of May, and the balance in July and August. - f'EHTKHHAL MOTES).

No farmer or mechanic should miss seeing the Centennial exhibition. If he cannot go, he should send one at least of his sons. If he cannot afford to do that, he should take what recreation he can in In the most convenient manner.

It is expected that one hundred and fifty setters will compete . for one prize alone, and that entries of some of the best dogs in Great Britain will be made. All entries are free of charge, Dut none win oe reoeivea alter tne lUtn of August. The Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts, through the kind ness of the Centennial commissioners, hu opened a reception room at the northwestern end of Machinery Hall, for the use of its members and visitors from abroad, interested in the mechanic arts. The Institute cordially Invites all who desire to do so, to visit their room, in which will be found files of the 'Jour nal of the Institute" and other periodi cals devoted to Industrial sciences. The room is in charge of a committee of thirty members of the Institute, one or more of whom is In attendance to re ceive visitors and give any Information they may desire In reference to the Ex hibition. The following objects, of great historical Interest, have been placed In the room : 1. Franklin's elec trical machine.

The first cafe which really strikes the visitor as distinctly novel and for eign is the Viennese Bakery, where you can not only eat your cake but also see It made. For any one aocustomed to foreign ways df life, I can imagine 110 pleaaanter or more enlightened man ner of beginning the day at Philadel phia than to go for his morning coffee to this restaurant. There he will find In the early morning an attentive and well trained Viennese waiter, who will bring him, after he is seated at a neat table, not a simple Republican tumbler, to be separately filled, more nostro, first with Ice and then with warm water, but besides the tumbler a delightful carafi, decanter, the contents of which have been frozen in the bottle, and therefore Immediately Suggests to thoughtful minds a question alagousna to thai of the historic apple and dump lings. There is also to be had the Vi enna bread in the form of erot$$antt crescents, which it may not be unpa triotic to say compares favorably with Graham or even rye, and delicious oof fee and chocolate. It is a pity that this bakery oould not have been made a male annex of the Woman's Pavilion, an ed lfice which woman, wltn unusual sa gacity, hu made attractive by the total absence of all articles, or processes use ful or pleasing to men. The Vienna bakery would be, In Itself, a liberal ed ucatlon to any docile woman, and might be made the means of banishing chicory from many thousands of Amer ican homes.
