"Oh, Doctor," smiled the young Widow, kit every geutlemau in SiU rer Falls will give us as much, wo shall be able to open the Home at onca !" And as the two ladies walked awuy, their conversation naturally turned ou the geutleinaii whose ele ?ant littl saucium they had just eft.

"H's frumpy forehead and yellow hair and soft voice don't make au Angel Gabriel of him,' said Jack ; "and so you'll find oof' And Lucy Estcourt was so nettled that she rose up and whisked out of the room, woik basket aud all. It was the afternoon of the next day that she took it into her capri cious little head to visit a favorite o'd pensioner ; an ancient, toothless crone, who lived in a tenement house in tho very dingiest part cf the pretty little towu of Silver Falls, and who was destined to occupy one of tho rooms of tho Ifouio for Indigeut Widows, when that boati tic vtsioti became a certainty. "Well, Midgetson, and how are you " said Mrs. Estcourt, rustling M)tily into tin loom, a radiant ap praiiation of bio lies and golden hair and attar of roses. Mrs. Midgetson dropped her knit ting, aud turned a manlike pair of silrer spectacle toward the new vomer. "I'm as well as ever I expect to be, my pretty dear,' said she, "Only I'm clean worrited out of my mind !" 'Worrited, Mrs. Midgetson?" "With the soolding, deary, and the confusion in the room next dcor, with a partitiou between,dea ry, as is no thicher than a sheet of paper. Listen yourself sweetheart, and you'll hear. Lucy Estcourt listened, and be came aware of a vague confusion of voices. "But what it is, Mrs. Midgetson ?" said the, half alarmed. "It's poor Lizzie Wade, dear, as is dying of consumption. And he ain't beeu able to pay her doctor's bill, as how should she, poor thing f and the doctor, he's a takin' away of her tewing-machine by main force, the only thing as stood be- tween her and starvation.'' "The old wretch ' cried out Mrs. Eatcourt, excitedly. "Why will people employ Dr. Jennings when there is such a noble, generous phy siciau as Dr. Angell in town ?' "Eh !' said Mrs. Midgetson, star. ins through the huge, silver specta cles. "But it ain't Dr. Jenuings, ctiildie. It's "BTushl" Lucy held up her forefiuger with an authoritative air, for at that in stant the voice of Dr. Angell him. self waa distinctly heard, uttering the words : "There's no use whimpering or making a scene. You owe me for ty dollars, and I will be paid. You haven't got the mouey ! Very well ; I can sell the machine. And, as for starving, I should starve, if eveiybody swindled me out of my bill, as you have done. Here, cart- man, take this thing downstairs." "Doctor ! Doctor !'' pleadsd a faint voice, "Pay don't take my daughter's only bread-winner away from us ! Have a little compassion, aud wait until we are able to pay you !' And that will be when ?' inter rupted the doctor with a coaiee laugh. "Cartmau, do you hear f Take it away at once, before these women have a chance to make any more scenes. At that moment Lucy Estcourt opened the door of Mrs. Wade's apartment, and stood there like a beautifal avenging angel. "Cartman,'' said she to the sym pathetic Irishman, who stood vacil lating iu the middle cf the room, -put the machine back in its place. Here. Doctor Angell is forty dollars owed you by that poor invalid Take it, aud enjoy it, if you can And here, also,'' as the apostolics looking young physician cowered beneath the indignant fire ot her eyee, 'is the donatiou you jester day gave us for the Iudigent Wid owa' Home We want no coutribu tions uulesa they are given in the spirit ot true charity.'' Aud without waiting either for Elizabeth Wade's tearful thanks or Doctor Angell's ready apologies, she went back to Mrs. Midgeston's snuffy-smelling little room, and be can to cry. Aud this incident was Doctor Athanasius Angella death-blow, socially and professionally speaking; in the town of Silver Fills. At the quarter's cud fan took down his sign, and left the place to Dactor Jen, ningi and 111s rusty wig. A i for Consiu Jack, Lucy wa so sweetly gracion to him during the next few day?, that he actually took courage to ask her to hava him. And he never was mora astonished iu bis life, than when she tsaid "Yes!-' Inlant PrortigieM. "I never felt moro hko laughing in my lile," whispered one individ ual to another at a recent entertain rneut when a portion-of the audience sat npollbouud in admiration of a child prodigy who waa rolling her eyea and swingiug her arum m an attempt lo be dra'iiati "Isn't th wondt rlul ? ' "What a memory hIi must havo I" What natu'al powers of imitation !" said her admirers at the close ot a long recitation, "tlow affected!'' "How ridiculous!" "What a nharae to let a young giil hkei that make a sensacional fad of her seeming powers !'' said those who could hardly repress an amused smile, but who yet pitied the child. Girl and boy phenomena are common occurrences. The forcing system is in full swing in many cir cles. A girl of 12 wringing hv hands and agonizing herself gen erally iu an attempt to provide so cial entertainment is not a pleasant sight. She'd better be home and abed is a motherly bit of advice worth heeding. How can mothers be so blind to the best welfare of groauing daughters ? It is jost this sort of thing which creates a love for the 6ensationa a deeire to make one's self conspicuous, a craving for amusement which must be t-atis-fled. "How late your Mary sits up nights !'' remarks oue mother to an other. -'Yes, she can not sleep like other children eveu if she goes to bed early." Why 1 Because the has been allowed to be up eveninps over since 6he can remember. Tbe habit of going to bed early was nver formed. It is to be regretted that in the transition period between childhood and early womanhood any activity of mind or body should be misdirected. Later this same might become a source of real pleasure Prodigies in the shape of boy and girl elocutionists or musicians should not be encouraged to seek applause. Sleep Willi Head to the A'orth I.OJBU3' to tho ?Iiiir'ti. We met a lady recently who said that she went to church, not because her pastor was up to her standard, or was the best that could bo had, but because she loved the church, and long beeu associated with it. SI10 could be bettor edified else where, but the preacher was a good man, and the pastor of the church of her choice and interest. So she refused to go olsowhere. The showy pre.u her could not lure her away ; nor the social attractions of more iulluential congregations ; nor could any of tho ordinary considerations which entice so many cnurch goors hither and thither. We admire her loyalty to her own church. Morn of it is tieuled in all onr oongrega- tionn. Stand bv vour church.

The old-time superstitious be'iet that human beings should slep with their head toward tho North is now beleived to be based on a scien title principle.

The body of the subject upou which this queer experiments mentioned above were made, was taken immediately atter death aud placed upon a pivotal board, free to move in any direct ion. Atter some little vacilation the head portion turned toward tbe North, and then remained station ary. One of the experimenters took hold of the pivot board and turned it so that tbe bead pointed South, bat upon being freed it al most immediately resumed the first-named position tarned until the head pointed North. To prove that this was neither accidental or coincident upon muscular twitch iogs a some had suggested, the board was repeatedly turned half way around aud then freed, but a was with similar results.

Mabel Howard had been united to the man of her choice. Many young people were assembled and all were enjoying themselves greatly. The ruby contents of the wino cup flashed ruddily in tha light aud lent a glow to many a manly cheek, and made many a maiden's sparkle with brilliancy Few were there who hesitated to Kip the sparkling fluid. Perhaps the most beautiful be ing in the wholo assembly was Ma bel Howard, who bad jut htn'ouia wife of Hugh Harrison. She waa a lady of uioft attractive form and features, admired by all aud re s pec ted for her strength ol charac ter and nobility of nature. A friend led her to the tahl and pouring out a glass ot wine, trom tho decan ter. o tiered it to her, inviting her to drink with him. Mabln took the glass and holding it arm's length, and pointing at the sparkling wine, the exclaimed : "Drink it ! Drink that which has been tho canso of so much misery tome? Oncol had a noble and genet ous father. No nobler man ex isted than he. Admired, respeoted aud honored by all for his talents aud manly beauty, he waa never' the.less ruined by the demon drink.
