DITA'S STEPMOTHER
BY AMY RANDOLPH".
I ji jjTE sweetest little cherub that
evcr vou fiaw sa'd Mrs. Con-
stant. "But, oh, such a care 1"
"I told you so, Mary Jane,''
s;iid old Aunt Arabella, sourly,
when you would insist on marrying
a widower with a child !"
"But I loved him," said the little
bride, wistfully.
"Stuff and nonsense!" eaid Aunt
Arabella. ''The woman never yet
lived who could get along with an
other woman's child.''
"Well, I mean to fry," said Mrs.
Constant. "And I think I should
manage splendidly if only the first
Mrs. Constant's old maid sisters
would keep away, aud Mr. Cons
stant's inothersin-law by his first
wife wouldn't persist in coming here
every day to see if Dita has enough
flannels on and eats ber regular
quantum of oatmeal and says her
catechism regularly."
'Tell Bridget not to let them in,"
suggested Aunt Arabella, who
looked as if she herself were capa
ble of doing single combat with all
the Moors of Spain.
"And make mischief between John
and his first wite's relations !' said
Mrs Constant, shaking her curly
head. "Oh, I couldn't do that "
Just then the door flew open and
little Dita herself trotted in, a goK
dentressed, pink-cheeked
fairy of
tbree years old j voluminous

8leevehoops, with blue kirt boots,
buttoned with little knobs of pearl.
And close beside her stalked her
maternal grandmother, Mrs. Cart
whistle, with the two Misses Cart
whistle following in the rear.
4tI am surprised, Mary Jane," said
the step-mother-in-law (if such a
relationship can be), "to hear from
Bridget that Perdita is allowed to
wear her best white frock every
day I"
4lShe looks so pretty in it," said
Mrs. Constant, pleadingly. "And
she will soon outgrow it.'
"It is not the way my girls were
brought up,'' said Mrs. Cartwhistle.
"I've just been counting over her
dresses,' said Miss Malina Cart
whistle. "Sixteen white dresses, a
dozen sashes, eighteen ruffled aud
embroidered skirts "
'A child like that needs a great
many chauges," said Mrs. Constant.
"And that big doli ot hers," added
Miss Susanna Cartwhistle, "with
the flaxen hair aud the eyes that
open and shut. I declare, Mrs.
Constant" (these sour spiusters
never could be gotten to call their
brothersm-law's wife by her Christ
ian name), "it's positive idolatry
that's what it is. It makes me
think of the golden image that King
WhatvDosYou-CalNBim set up for
the Israelites to worship I''
Mrs. Constant winced.
"But, indeed, Susanna," said she,
ul didn't buy the doll! It was a
gift from her godmamma to Dita."
"I think it ought to be sold for
the benefit of the heatheD," Miss
Malina said.
"And I was shocked to see Brid
get giving her jam yes, raspberry
jam upon her bread and butter for
dinner," added the old lady.
"It's very plain," apologized the
young stepmother. fl made it my
self last summer. And Dita is so
fond of it."
"Me yike wabbery dam," solemn
ly enunciated this small bone of
contention, who had been looking
gravely from one to another of the
speakeis.
"Is a child's digestion of no con
sequence V demanded Mrs. Cart
whistle.
"Are the ru'es of hygiene to be
set entirely at defiance!" Miss Ma
lina questioned.
"The seeds of disease to be im
planted, even at this early age ?" ad
ded Miss Susanna.
But here Aunt Arabella rose up,
bustling and indignant, in her
niece's defense.
"It strikes me, ladies," said she,
that we are all of ns meddling with
what is none of our business. My
niece, Mary Jane, as the wife of
Charles Constant aud the mother of
tin nme child, is donhtlt ss a bet-t-r
judge of theso matters than we
c.iu pretend to tie! Mary Jane, if
you mo going oat shopping wit?:
me, it's high tune yoa put on you:
bonnet !"
The bride looked timidly around.
"If Mrs. Cartwhistle and Malina
and Susanna will excuse me," said
she doubtfully.
"Oh, we are of no consequeuce,''
aid Miss Malina, with a toss of the
head.
'Tray dou't remain at home ou
our account," said Miss Susauna.
"We are just going to take leave.
ourselves," said Mrs. Cartwhistle,
sourly;
"Me do, too. mamma," coaxed lit
tle Dita, seizing hold of the skirts
of Mrs. constant's dress. "Me do
with oo."
"No, darling, no," said Mrs. Con
stant, ringing the bell for Bridget.
"You are too little."
"Exercise is good for the child,'
interposed Grandmamma Cartwhis
tle. "Ettertise dood for I.'' This was
Dita's mite.
"And you know you were very
eroupy, last night," added Mrs.
Constant, tenderly.
"i never could find it in my heart
to leave a child that wasn't well,''
croaked Miss Malma,
"But," added Susanna, "a step
mother knows noth ng of the seni.
sations that agitate a true maternal
beait."
And the bride, fairly driven to the
last extremity of patience, took an
abrupt departure, leaving the small
Dita shrieking in the arms of Brid
get, while her grandmother and
maiden auuts stood around, a sort
of commiserating chorus.
"She has no heart at all," growled
Miss Malina.
"I told Charles how it would be
when he would persist in marrying
that slip of a child," said Mrs. Cart
whistle.
"What can one expect of a step
mother V7 gloomily demanded Miss
Susanna.
"Sure, an' savin7 your presence,
ladies," put in Bridget, who by this
time succeeded in quieting the
child's cries, "it's me humble opinion
a Mrs. Constant spoils the little la-,
dy intirely w?d too much kindness.
Sure, wasn't she up with her half
the night, last night, wid ipecac an'
camphorated ile ? And ain't it her
as hears missy's prayers lvery bless
ed night of her life, and tells ber
all the fairy-stories as ever grew,
an' pets her like a kitten f There
ain't one mother iu a hundred, let
alone a step mother, as loves a child
like my missis loves little Miss Dita."
And the grandmother and the
two maiden aunts went grimly away
saying to one another what a very
presuming person that Bridget was,
and how Charles's young wife hadn't
dignity enough to keep her servants
in their proper place.
But when Mrs. Coustant returned
from her shopping expedition that
afternoon, there was an evident at
mosphere ot consternation about
the house. Doors and windows
were wide open; sympathetic neigh'
bors were gathering about the
threshold ; Mrs. Cartwhistle, with
her wig on awry and her mourning
veil all twisted to one side, stood
sobbing iu the middle of the floor,
with a prodigious black-bordered
pocket-handkerchief pressed to her
eves : Miss Malina and Miss Susan
11a were hurrying to and fro, wildly
wringing their hands ; aud Mr. Con
stant himself had just sprung from
a cb which bad rattled up to the
curbstone, as if drawn by flying
dragons.
"Dear me ! ? cried the young step
mother. "What can have happen
ed V
"I told you so !" said Mrs. OarU
whistle.
"I always prophesied it !'' said
Miss Malina.
"I foresaw it from the very begins
ning!'' said Miss Susanna.
"But what is the matter !:' gasped
poor Mrs. Constaut. "Has anything
happened to to dear little Dita?'
"She's drowned !" said Mrs. Cart
whistle.
"In the great Persian jarl" said
Miss Susanna.
"Filled it with
water out of the
b.ith-tub, :i;id then er.iwled in hers
Mvf, de;r, sweet innocent!'' sobbed
MissMalin i. "Oh, deir! Oh, dear!
I knew something would happen
when you so heartlessly refused her
iunoceut plea to accompany you."
"A'l this conies, Charles,' croaked
Mrs. Cartwhistle, "from giving your
precious lamb a step-mother."
"I shall maintain to my life's
end," said Miss Susauna, "thatit
was all Mrs. Constant's fault."
Bat the poor young wife pushed
her way frantically through the
confusion.
"Where is she ?" she gasped. "Di-,
t; ! Where have thev laid her f"
''-We we hain't dared to tonch
her," answered Miss Malina, with a
burst of hysterical tears. "lint
there's her de:rr little blue shoe in a
puddle of water on the carpet, and
her lovely golden hair floating on
top ! Ob, dear don't let Charles go I
near her! Ob, dear ! to think that
she should be drowned, and uo one
near to help her ! It all comes of a
stepmother's neglect !"
"Mamma ! Mamma !" piped a lit
tle voice at the self-same moment,
aud Mrs. Coustant felt a tiny hand
pulling at her dress, and turned to
behold Dita held up in Bridget's
triumphant arms.
"Sure, ma'am, I found her fast
asleep on the garret floor," said
Bridget, "wid her precious arm un
der her head. An' to think of the
j thrick she played u., wid the big
! doll drownded in the chaney jar,
! an' its yally hair fioatin' a-top, just,
for all the wnrreld. like missy's own!''
"Dolly dirty ! Dolly have bath V7
complacently proclaimed Miss Per
dita. And then, naturally enough, Mrs.
Constaut fainted away in her hus
band's arms.
When she came to her senses
gain, the house was restored to its
nsual stilluesa and composure, aud
she was Ijiog upou a sofa, with her
husband at her side, aud little Dita
playing ou the floor at no great disi
tance. She looked vaguely around.
"Where is Mrs. Cartwhistle?" said
she.
"Gone," said Mr. Constant. "And
so have Malina and Susanna and
they will never come back to this
house again. It is quite true that
they are my lost wife's relatives,
but that gives them no title to as
sail you as they have done to-day.
You have been more than a mother
to little Dita, and the child's love
bears a inu'e testimony to this.
Hereafter wilh her, u& well, dearest,
as with me, your will shall be law."
And so Dita's stepsmother con
quered at last, and the Cartwhistle
battalion wras routed en masse.

"Is there a mau in all this audi
ence," fiercely exclaimed a femala
lecturer, "that has ever done any
thing to lighten the burden resting
on his wife's shoulders ! What do
you know of woman's work ?
"Is there a man here," she con
tinued, folding her arms and look
ing over her audience with superb
scorn, "that has ever got up in the
morning, leaving his tired, worn
out wife to enjoy her slumbers,
gone quietly down-stairs, made the
fire, cooked his own breakfast,
sewed the missing buttons ou the
children's clothes, darned the family
stockings, scoured the pots and
kettles, cleaned and filled the lamps,
swept the kitchen, and done all
this, if necessary, day after day un

iMMressiim letter From the
FarmerH ot the Wei.
Washington, March 20 Secreta
ry liiifk is df ily in receipt of dis
tressing letters from the farmers of
the West and Northwest, who in
the most pathetic terms relate their
sutTering, owing to the failure ot
their crops last season. A few days
ago a Kansas woman wrote the se -
retary of Agricultnre a letter in
which she Fays : "I suppose you
have heard of the failure of the
! crops in Kansas. Spring is coming
on, and our people have not even
one little seed to put in tho ground
aud no money to buy what they
need. What they will do I don't
know. It is discouraging to know
how hard people worked through
ai! the hot summer and did not re
ceive one grain for all their labor.
There was a lady in our county who
wt nt to the store the other day and
purchased two sacks of flour. When
she took out her pocketbook to pay
for them she began to cry, and said:
'This is the last cent I have. God
onij- knows where the next will
coaie from, or where my poor chil
dren will get food,' She said she
had sold all her chickens and her
cow becauso she had not food en
ough to keep them alive. Many of
her chickens died from starvation, j
Por woman, she is not alone in ber I
suffering, as there are mauy of us
out this way who, when we lie down
at night, hardly know what we will
have to eat lor breakfast next mor-
j m 3g or wbere ifc is coming from.
May God help us and have pity ou
us. Some aid was shipped in here
but the people can't get it unless
every four-footed beast in the place
is mortgaged ; so, f rieuds, you can
understand how we are situated in
the West. I have heard, Mr, See
recary, you are a warmhearted
man, so I thought I would let you
know iny condition and see if you
can help me. When we have money
wo will remember you. So, friends,
I will leave this to your considerai
tion, trusting you will do what you
think best to help us," etc.
This appeal was not in vain, for
the Secretary at once sent to lhe
address given in the letter a large
package of garden seed. The de
partment is unable to grant all the
requests for aid which ane dally re
ceived, owing to the limited appro
priations and the scarcity ot seed.

"The Religion of the Futnre."
We find the following extraot in
oue of our exchauges, credited to
the American Spectator'. It may not
be orthodox it roost likely is not
but it is a siDguIarly impressive nt
terance. We confess that we have
not been able to get away from it
since first reading it, several weeks
ago, and it comes in mind bo often
that there seems nothing left except
to divide it with our readers. It
will bear reading and re-readlug.
This is it
That the religion of the future
will be a religion ot deeds, rather
than creeds a religion of works
rather than intolerant faith based
on dogma must appear evident to
all who have closely watched the
trend of events during the past gen
eration. The Goldeu rule will bo
the foundation ot the new religion,
and every tree will be judged by its
liuit. Man will be taught that ha
cauuot hope for angelhood by a
death-bed confession or the accept
ance of any dogma that does not
change his whole lite, bringing him
en ro.iwort with the highest spiritual
truths. The religion ot the future.
instead of compelling its adbereuta
to declare that they believe that
three beings are one being and one
being is three distinct benigs, will
demand, even as the great Galilean
demanded, that they be pure in
heart, merciful, tender and loving;
that they be peace-makers and
brothers ; that they cease to crush
one auother, or to climb to luxury
over the bodies of their piostrate
fellowmen. In a word that they do
uuto others exactly as they would
be done by after having p-jt them
selves in the place of the unloitu
nate one. Ones again, the religion
of the future will appeal to the con.
science of the individual precisely
as was the mauuer of Jesus, and it
will develop the spiritual iu man's
nature, making his body absolute,
ly obedient to the spirit and rouud
iug out life into that perfect sym
metry that has been attained only
at intervals iu the past.
"The religion of the future" will
theu certainly he a good one to live
by. Whether it will do to die by is
another matter. Will not some
among the many ministers who
read The Landmark give us their
views upon it ? JStatesville Land-:
mark.
The Landmark did not ask our
opinion on this subject, but we take
the liberty to say tkat we do not
see much that is new in the "relN
gion of the future" described above,
save the manner of expressing it as
in the first few phrases. All ortbo
dox denominations of t onlay and of
the past are contending for the gol
denrule aud the pure-iu-heart re
ligion. The Bible emphasizes and
all orthodox preachers preach this
kind of religion aud the genuine
Christians of all denominations
practice this kirxl of religion and at
the same time exercise great faith
in the doctrines of their church.
There can be no new religion. It
may be the old religion will be prac
tice by a larger number of people,
which would indeed be a great bles
sing to the world. Ed. CoURIEll.
