THE BEST THING. .
There is many a sight it is good to see,
And we gaz? with an eager eve;
But nothing has splendor one-half so fine
As the light from a sunset sky.
There's many an odor thatVrare and sweet,
Yet nothing, my heart allows.
Is half bo fragrant or half so pure
As the smell of the cedar bouzfcs.
There's many a sound that's strong and
a dear refrain
Yet nothing cau thrill like the notes that
; come
From a bird that sins in the rain.
There's many a thinj in the world to lovo
That the world can understand.
An 1 yet there:' nothing that' half so dear
As the touch of a baby's hand.

the line of love oh.
3 it's all
right, my
dear!" said
pretty
Zaita Bhandee, the
Hindoo soothsayer.
(Her real name wa3
Bridget Kearn, and
ber birthplace Coun
ty Cork, in the green
little isle qf Erin.)
'It's lonir and it's deep, and he'll love
you long and truly,my dear. A dark man,
with black eyebrow9 and cheeks like
roses ah, rare good luck he'll have in
getting you, sweet lady I"
"What nonsense!" laughed Eda Elk
iua, coloring like a sweet pea bloom.
.She wa9 only a Philadelphia sho
Out on a day's excursion with 8.
her mates; but as she' emerged from rue
fortune teller's tent she caught herself
wondering who the adarlc man, with
black eyebrows' and cheeks like roses,"
could possibly be.
4kIt sounds like Mr. Berliu, the new
Ooor walker, don't it?" said Julia Kea
ley, one "of the ribbon counter girls.
"Don't be silly!" said Eda impatient
ly. ,lMr. Berlin has never spoken a
word to me beyond the commonest
politeness, and hardly that."
Julia tossed her head.
"Well," said she, "I suppose there
are more dark men iu the world than
one. You can take your choice of them,
Miss High-and-Mighty!"
It was hard to go back to the - store
the next day aud resume the tcdiou9
routine of everyday work after that bright
glimpse of true love and sunshine; but
it is the fate of womankind, and Eda
was compelled to submit.
She was a novice at her work, and
there were humiliations innumerable in
her path. She was deal too pretty to
suit Miss Minster, who was superintend
cat of the hosiery department, and a
deal to young to satisfy old Hopkins,
the ei&hier, who held that no woman un
der thirty had any idea of making change
in the correct manner. ;
Poor. ' nrettv E la! no wonder the
w libels rolled heavily.
It was only the second day after thi3
that Mr. Berlin found Eda crying softly,
iu a dark corner of the reserve depart
ment, surrounded by a wilderness of
pasteloard boxes and paper parcels.
"Whv. what is the matter, Miss
Elkuis?" said he kindly.
"Miss Minster sent me up for jsix
boxtts. of X and a half," sobbed East,
"and and I must be very stupid, for I
can't' tell one box from another. And
it's to dark here, and it's against the
rules to light a match, and my hea 1 does
ache so!"
Mr. Berlin put down his stock-book,
and came to her assistance.
"Here," said he, smiling, "don't erj
so. This isn't a national, tragedy. I'll
show you where the X aud a half boxes
are. But this isn't your business. Miss
Minster "should have sent a cash boy.'
Eda dashed awav the tears.
I I don't think Miss Minster likes
me," faltered she.
"Not like you! That's strange ! , .
lie spoke irom the top ot a little step
iadder wiih a Kindly glance backward
over his shoulder. The words were
simple, but their meaning carried "cheer
and encouragement to Eda's desiKmding
heart.
She wont down stairs ia a far happier
mood.
Mr. Berlin followed her after a few
moments, aud spoke quietly to Miss
Minster.
"The reserve ruoiis are scarcely the
place for oar young ladies, Miss Miuster,"
f-aid he. "Hereafter, if you need affy
thing from there, let me know, and I
will send a cash boy or one of tht
Mias Minster acquiesced ; but she was
not exactly pleased, and glared at Eda
more uncompromisingly than ever.
"There," she said, some two hours
afterward, "I knew how it would be if
you girls had your lunch upstair ! A
great grease spot oa the glove counter
and six pairs of Suede tans ruined. Yes,
ruined!" . f
Eda grew pink then pale.
I haven't leen near the glove
counter," said she. "I did eat my lunch .
up here, because there are rats and black
beetles down in the packing basement;
but I ate it under the stair3 where it
couldn't possibly harm anything."
"Then," said Miss Minster, with the
air of a cri'ninal lawver bullying a wit
ness, "how came, this grease spot here'
Eda could not tell. There was some
thing about Miss Minster fuat paralyzed
her reasoning faculties and struck her
dumb.
"You don't know," repeated Miss
Minster. "I thought not. You cau
ueceive me. The price of those six
pairs of tan Suedes will be taken out of
your salary next Saturday night, Miss
Elkiris."
Eda looked aghast. She ha3 been out
of employment some time, and owed
money ror ner Doara tolrs. Timson, her
respectable landlady. Without her full
selary it would be impossible to meet
her obligations. Her lip trembled, her
dove-like blue eye3 brimmed over with
tears, but at that moment a party gf
customers sweDt in.
"Hosiery counter to the left," said
Mr. Berlin, answering their Inquiry.
And Eda started to think herhad been
so near to her.
"Do not be trouble! Miss Elkins,"
he said, in a low tone. "I'll explain
matters to the chief. You shall not be
fined for what was not your fault.
But neither Miss Elkins nor Mr. Berlin
knew what Miss Minster was psrfectly
well aware of that the grease spot was
caused by the careless handling down of
the oil can of the carpenter who was
loosening si hinge on the counter door.
"If you're going to discharge any of
the young women in my department,"
paid Miss Minster to Mr. Yardley, the
acting member of the firm of Yardley &
Yardley, "it had better be Miss Elkins.
She ain't worth her salt." ' '
"Eh? ' said Mr. Yardley, who wa3 not
without perceptive powers of his own,
and who had been rather favorably im
pressed with the blue-eyed novice in the
white goods department.
"I cannot quite agree with Miss Min
ster," said a calm voice behind the acid
tongued Superintendent. "So far as
iiy judgment goes,- Misf Elkins is an
ixcellent clerk, and is constantly im
proving in all respecte."
And Miss Minster looked around with
a startled air.
Contrary to her expectations, Eda was
retained, and by means of the machinery
oT gossiping tongues, that belongs to
every such establishment, she soon
learned through whose beneficent agency
it was.
"He has been so kind to me!" eho
thought. "Oh, I wish I wish I could
do something for him! But that never
could be possible."
Eda was just beginning to be reckoned
among Messrs. Yardley & Yardley 'sfirst
class saleswomen, when one day a leHer
arrived at Mrs. Timson's humble door
r her.
A distant ccusin on the Canada
frontiers was dead, and therj was no
heir save herself for a fin: farm, well
wooded aud watered, and containing a
picturesque old house, said to be close
oh a century old.
"louu uut sea iits aiv. otu .ui.
ScratchaUp lawyer. "It's worth five
or six thousand dollars at least, and
maybe more."
Eda scarcely knew what to do. If Mr.
Berliu had been in town she would cer
tainly have written back to Neiv York to
ask his counsel. But he was; traveling
for the firm, no qne quite knew where.
"I'll co home and think
over,
said
Eda.
She had scarce! v been absent a fort
night, but when she returned there had
been changes. Old Mr. Yardley had re
tired from business. The firm was Tol
land & Yardley now. Miss Minster had
; set up nn "emporium of her own, and
j. Julia Kesley had a long story to tell her
! of how Mr. Berlin was ia Cadwal'.ader
Hospital, lrom the result of a railway
accident oa his return from his last busi
ness trip.
"Hopelessly crippled," said Julia, with
the ghoulish relish whereby some people
dwell on the details of frightful acci-
dents. MAnd quite without means, they '
say, for hes always been supporting an
,oId uncle, or some such refation. Polks
are saying the Yardltys ought to pension
him off; but they ain't legally respon
sible, and no one seems willing to do
anything. I guess likely he'll have to
go on charity for the rest of his days, ,
poor fellow I" - .
"Ohckantyt" gasped Eia. "Mr.
Berlin ! Ob, that would be dreadful t"
The May sun was sbiaing, yello and
vivid, on the white-washed walls of the
great, bare-looking hospital ward where
Walter Berlin lay, trying to realize the
force of the blow that had coaio upon
him.
Not thirty yet, and his life career
OTerlj Surely, surely it must be impos
sible! A letter for Mi. Berlin," said the
head nurse, cheerfully, entering with
the mail-tray.
"It's a m'stake," said Berlin, drearily.
There's no one to write tome, since my
old uu5le is dead-""
That's so? Well, here's your name
on the outside Walter Berlin, Esq.'
So, if it ain't for you, who is it for?"
chuckled the head nurse.
Slowly and languidly the invalid
opened the letter; but, as he read its
contents,, his eyes brightened, his breath
came quick and fast.
"It must be from old Josiah Yard
ley," said he. "He always said he owed
me more than any money compensation
could repay; but I thought he had for
gotten all about my saving his life that
day of the gas explosion" iu the basement
of the store. And he is in Japan and
I can't write to thank him, because he
has left no address. A farm and I
have always so longed for country life.
Oh, it seems as if existence were begin
ning again for me I I never dreamed that
Josiah Yardley had so kind a heart!"
After that day, Walter Berlin improved
rapidly. There was no longer any
question of relapse.
Just a year afterward, Mr. Berlin sat
on the wide, old-fashioned porch of the
Canada farmhouse, where the shadows of
the huge, tamarack trees swayed back
and forth, his crutch on the floor beside
him, the model of a new variety of
beehive in his lap.
At the doorstep was Eda Elkins, who
had stopped on her way home from the
N postoffice.
"So you are real$ willing to take a
poor lame man for a husband?" he asked,
smiling.
"Haven't I assured you of that fact
often enough already!" gaily retorted
Eda.
"Yes, and I can giva you a good home,
bow 'that -the small fruit veature hai
terminated so successful! v," tail Berlin,
tenderly taking Eda's hand in his.
But how strangely everything has
turned out! How surprised I was when
I came to Six Rivers to learn that you
were teaching the Indian Mission School
here I How more than surprised when
when I first began to hope that you
might find in your heart to care tor ie,
dear, dear little Eda!"
"Well," said old Scratchall, "ai
things have turned out, this madcap
scheme of Miss Elkins's Mr3. Berlin's,'
mean is all very well. But I did thinkj
just at first, that she had taken leave of
her senses. Suppose he'd married so:nc
one else? Why, she'd have lost the
farm."
But not until Mr. Yardley, on his le
turn from Japan, stopped a day or two
at Six Rivers, to view the famous cas
cade there, dU Walter Berlin ever dis
cover Eda's sweet pfot.
- "I?" said Mr. Yardley, pushing his
spectacles on the very apex of his bald
head. "Thanking me for the present
of this house and farm? Why, man
alive, I had nothing to do with it'"
B'?rliu looked across at Eda. Sudden
color sullu-.-) 1 her cheeks. If ever in
nocent guilt betrayed itself in a woman
pure face, it was now.
"Why, of course!" said ScratchaU
(who had been invited tc dine at th3
farm to meet the traveler from Japan)
answering the look oa Berlin's face. "I
wonder you never suspected it before."
"Dear little conspirator, wa.4 it you?''
f aid he.
And there was nothing for it but for
Eda to confess and receive absolution o a
the spot.
Zaita Bhandee, .the Irish soot'asajer
with the Hindoo name, was rigut. The
linu of love had propheued correctly,
and Eda was happy with the "dark man
with black eyebrows. Saturday Viht.
FARU AND HOUSEHOLD.
CO OPEUATION WITH FARM IMPLEMENTS.
A fanner owes it to bimselt to work
with the best tools attainable. If his
capital is not large enough to buy all he
wants, or his farm large enough to emi
ploy, them all the season, it k better to
own them in partnership, taking turns
in their use. This kind of co-operation
among farmers was once more common
than it has been of late years. It was
one of the advantages of early settlement
of new countries that farmers cdtild work
together. This more than offset manj
of the disadvantages the early settlers
labored under. Many lubor-saviug im- j
plements are now so exjeniye that co
operation in their use is as necessary as
it was in the houe or barn raising that
brought together all the farmers in a
neighborhood in olden times. Boston
Cultivator.
- WHITE FOWLS.
Snow-whitti fowls, with yellow legs
and skin, with the general sh'iTp3 aud
characteristic of the Plymouth Uock, .
are destined to be popular in this coun
try, and the reason is not far to seek.
There is many a man whose life is very
busy, who would like to take up a hobby
if he felt he could spare the time, but
who is deterred by the iutrieacus f
marked plumage. Life to him seems
too short to study into barrings, lacings
and spanglings. With such things ho
will not be bothered, yet he is unwilling
to touch anything in which hejeannot
excel, or at least do respectably. If he
has fowls, they must approximate to
standard requirements, so as to render
them beyone. criticism and censure by
his poultry friends. He must have
fowls that will extort a fair degree of
admiration from his viitorr, although
he cannot spend the time in study
necessary to breed parti-colored fowls
that will do this; but he can breed a
solid white fowl that will come near the
mark, and therefore heesires such a
breed. Such men make a demand for
j the white breeds, and as such men al-
ways have and always will exist so long
as the world stands, there will be a
permanent demand for fowls of this
chaiacter. American Poultry Yard.
FOOD FOR, TUKKEYS.
A "farmer's daughter" writes thus on
feeding turkeys:
"Unlike chickens, turkeys will not eat
any and everything; mino were always
healthier when allowed no me it or rich
food of any kind, dry grain of good
quality, being preferred. Their driuking
vessels and feeding pau3 must be kept
very clean and . wholesome, or they will
refuse to touch anything. At and just
previous to laying time the hens are" very
fastidious, and all the variety procurable
should be offered them, taking care to
feed them lightly on tho?e grains at all
fattening in tendency, as Iudian corii in
its preparations, allowing instead r. gen
erous proportiou of those grains said to
contain a preponderance of erg-produc-inu
elements, as wheat,, oats and the
like. Mine were very fond of sorhurn
seed and of grass see4 from the floor of
the hav loft, while of ground foods
wheat bran was their favorite, especially
if it was slightly moistened with sweet
milk. Milk, either sweet or sour, butter
milk or clabber, is highly appreciated,
and as this is said be an excellent egg
food, the hens should hive all they will
drink at tl is time, carj being taken to
allow none to leaaaiu inhc trough over
night, and so become rancid and un
wholesome. Some green food they must
have, and until grass conies again this
may be supplied either in the shape of

Corn Bread Called "Famine Food."
When Indian-corn was sent to Ireland
iu 1848 the peasants at first refused to
use it, and contemptuously called it the
"famine food." It is true that they did,
not kuow how properly to prepare it.
Since then a kind of mush has been mado
of Indian-corn meal in Ireland, and called
"stirabout, but it ii not held in the
high esteem that it deserves. When tho
potato crop fails, tncy full back on this.
The Italians also use a goo 1 deal of maiz
but what is used in Italy is grown at
home. They have many ways of pre
paring "polenta," as it is caUcl,- an l
they are usually very toothsome. But il
is said that a very considerable use ol
"polenta" in Italy produces a trouble,

can be urged against Indian-corn as H ia
used in America. Harper's Weekly.
