PORK AND POTATOES.
"Pork niul i'Otntop!
Fork mid 'uln'ocr!''
There was little i f rhym1 or rM"n
in I ho monotonou-i roieration of these
homely words, ye! they had thedosign
f 1 effect, for in the course of timt the
wide-eyed baby in tin- woman's
began to Uod a dl'oWsV npl.l oV III, jiu-l
nt last fell into in uneasy slumber.
Carefully the sing'-r placed it in its
little ci.Klic and turned to her ingle ted
work. There was enough In do in nil
conscience. So imii li she hardly know i
where to begin.
Wliilf sli" hesitated Ii'T thoughts i
wandered nwny from the, untidy ;
kitchen with its yesterday's litter all
iinohaiie, its drifting rVls nf lir.t,
its sink piled high wilii unwashed ,
dishes, and fur tin moment. Mm win no
longer a palid, hollow -eyed, nujior.jpt ,
drudge, 1'iit young and pretty, sweet :
nnd frivdi an umu.ii ate who put, on
wedding littery and wail with happy,
longing for the hew lift , full of Messed I
mystery.

years ago 1 kept n happy birthday m

Hlii gave a sharp, hard laugh and
turned to her work. j
Four years ago she ami John had j
been two smart and happy young poo- j
phi who thought nothing on earth j
could make them .so devoutly thankful
bb to belong wholly and entirely to each j
other. Their marriage had been to
them tho best possible ei lei. ration fori
tho pretty young bride's lirthday. I
They had begun life in a little hi ted
house, with a little stock of worldlv
goods and a great and wo:;. It-rful for
tune in store whieh I'-ay had made up !
their minds to possess through industry, '
e.s.noiny ami mutual endeavors.
How w;ls it, Annie asked lierll'!
over and over again, that in only itittr 1
years they had eome to this? Mi-j re." I
ineinbered as she washed and sent red j
among the pots ami pans, how tlm
girls in the shop where (sho u.sel to j
work had envied hrr. 1'nvied her for
lier handsome husband ; for her smart !
new dress ; and had all of them hoped !
for as good luck themselves. I
Xow, Miriam rode in her own rnr-1

andlaees. She had mat lied .in old man, '
Bit rely enough to be sure, but what of j
that? To-day she would Bit nt thei
table loaded with silver, ami groaning J
under its weight of eostly dainties.
Thore was Aliee, fair and frail.
Annie thought, w ith a little thrill of !
virtuous pride, !hnt she never spoke to I
Alice; yet at her table to-day there!
would I inusie and laughter, rare j
fruits and flowers and eostly wines.
Though Letter woman shunned her, yet I
was she clothed in purplo nnd line I
linen nnd fared suniptously every day.
There was Kato Urown, and Avis,
her sister, elderly gitis, iind plain, but
their birthdays w ere always to thein a
high holiday.
Sho began to sing again, ami the
Bweetnessof her voice was all lost in
the bitterness that rang through the
Bame old words :
"Fork and potator 1

It was nil thev had in the house to I
rat, audit was their birthday, their
wedding anniversary.
The door opened, attd John came in;
not the fine, spruce young man who
smilod on her bo proudly four years
ago, but a slouching man in dirty over
alls, with hhahbinesit written all over
his elothes, and eare all over his face.

"Hut John V" gasped Annie, w hen
surprise w( did li t herrpiak.
"And what of John:" died the
f.'Id-w ii.-h ihara'y. "I offer you a
!i .me such a yi n never even (Inamed

your John given you such things',
Will he e cr gi c them to you';"
"John is my husband, the father i f
my baby, fit lit r of the two (bid gave
us and took again; I cannot leave him,
you know."
"I know nothing of the kind," cried
the g.dd-witch. "Von are my niece,
my own sister's child; your John, w ho
ever he may be, is im kinsman of mine;
I want nothing of him; u u ray two

You have no right to kill your child,
no right to refuse him a change such
as hi: wiil never have again. As for
your John, ymt may send him a thou
sand dollar-i t night. Ho is n man;
they are all alike; he had rather have
the money than yon."
The last two arguments were strong
ones, nnd illness and poverty had made
Annie weak. There was more feeble
resistance, more golden promises, and
at last sho yielded.
Strange ami bewildered enough she
felt, wh.-n the praming horses Blood
bet ore the great lip-U.wn hotel where
obseiiuioiis Wiiiter-i stood on every
hand.
"Now re-t," cii'-l th" gold-witch,
whoso will ami word boenicda law unto
other3.
So she rested. The bed was white
and downy; there were laces nnd rib
bons limiting around it ; but in spitn of
the Boftness and whiteness, (he child
that lay on her bosom wt pt iind wiiiled
with alow, heart-breaking cry, ami at
last the baby, who up to (hat day had
never spoken any word, or tried to
speak, opened its little quivering lips
ami called out loud ami clear:
"l'apa! pai.ii!"
It Will as though the voice of Cod
spoke to the mother, "she sprang from
the bed ami f dded her w orn old shawl
around about herself and boy. Close
beside the door sat the gold-w ilch,
Hotindlv sleeping. With billed breath
iind noiseless steps she slide past the
1 , . 1 I
old woman iK.wn thegrand stairway ,
and through the lofty IiiiIIh rht. i..l.
looking neither to the right hand nor to
the left.
She reached her home at last, dark
and dismal xs to out ward surroundings,
bright with the memory of former joy,
sacred to the memory of former sor
rows. The lire was out, the hearth was
il.nk. A moment, later and a glad
Maine leaped iind sparkled, the sleeping ,
baby was left toils fate while his
mother converted a few hoarded silver
pieces that were to have bought her a
ihvss, into tea, sugar, crackers, hot rolls,
and while the tit of recklessness was
strong upon her a pint of cranberries
for old tiiiiiV sake.
Her shopping completed, how Annie,
a it wcrfi (lew home! How that de-
unkind reception of the brown anil
luscious turkey, a::d received it with
her pretty head hidden on hi willing
shoulder, and, while in smh safe retire

herself into the outstretched arms and
kissed tho tptivcring lips, wh:.' the
wrinkled, ringhss ling. r imtted her
soft hiiir, oh, so lovingly!
