She was apparently loosing inter est in those good enterprises with which she had so long been actively identified; she had not been to the social gatherings for weeks; she had been rather slack in her church at tendance for a year or more; and now, it was actually two months if" it was a day since she had shown her face in the Hollow, in church or out. She mas, therefore, apparently as indifferent to the people as to the principles. To be sure, old Squire Button had died, after along illness, so long that the poor man aimost thought the T.nrd had forgotten him. and when & the bell tolled 90 years one day every jbody experienced a genuine sur- 1 prise. i Then Grandma Burton lost her mind and became a child again, a veritable old baby, that had to be dressed and fed and tied into her chair all day long her own rocking chair, where she had sung many a ' lullabv in her time. And John Burton's wife cared for her most tenderly night and dday for months, and never said she was weary, or siuk or tired of her life, as well she might have been. The old woman woke with a joyful simle one morning, reached up both trembling hands on one 1,13 professional service to the people j weJ(Jin,r rjDir was shining and ,1 .i..,:o ami sitrror.r.iliiix ct.'ininuuity. uel weuuiu, a crying out, "Oh, J ames, 1 am so giaa, over the hills and far away she went, nobody knows where, to paradise. And" now, both old people having been as everybody admitted ten derly eared for in life, and piously buried at death, with a funeral sermon aoiece, it did seem as if Sister Bur ton might get out into the world again and be like other folks; and, as she did not hurry, all sorts of specula tions were rite. Old Mrs. Brown thought likely she was low spirited; she had always been a little strange; came honestly by it, too, for one of her uncles on her mother's side died insane or in solvent, she couldn't rightly recol lect which.

For her part she thought Miss Burton was duty bound to do it, and shejust gave her a piece her of mind too. "Crape?" cried John Burton's wife, with wide opereyes. "I wear crape for them when they have just gone into the Lord's own glory? Whv, it is the best of all good things that could ever come to them. Dear, happy souls ! I am so glad for them. It seems to me they must just be walking together all about holding hands." "Just as if8he knew what the Lord 1,0 lnirl nut for them, sain ttie shocked sister. "It sounded like sheer blasphemy to me, and it just made my blood run cold to hear it. Them dead and gone folks was sin ners just like the rest on us. Why, the old man himself was suspended from churchfellowship more'n sixty years ago for goin' to a sleigh-ride where there was supper and dancin to wind up with. Don't tell me! I know it for a fact; and it's on the church book now. And I've seen it, too." The ladies circle felt aggrieved. For years Mrs. Barton had been the greatest worker lor tnem an. They missed the piles of well made garments that fairly flew from under her slender fingers in days gone by. And stockings that women had knit for the soldiers! Why, if they had been hung top to toe on uie equator they would have reached half wav round the globe. Yes, a great worker, they all ad mitted: and such a mystery that now. with no old folks and no children, and nothing in the world to do, she should all at once fold her hands and sit down; a young healthy woman like her too. What had to break her health? By common consent there was no need of it, and no sense hi it; and, as occasionoffered, they all meant to tell iier so - The village schoolmaster, who boarded around, was not without his views. As he was the remote descen dant of a clergyman he was supposed to have inherited theology vrith kls Roman nose, and his opinions r; were And when she died for she said, truly, that she could never hold up her head again it was John Burton's wife who went with her down to the deep waters and gave her into the Lord's own hands, no doubt. Some contended that she was an out-and-out Spiritualist, because he had said, "How beautiful it was to think Grandpa Burton came back when grandma, died. It seemed so much easier for the gentle soul to have him go with her up to the gol den gates." The summer boarder at the post master's thought there might be a of Sweedenborgianism in that. And as noboi1- really knew anything about such far away heresies it was all the more likely to be true. The shepherd over this troubled flock was a j?oung man, acting as temporary supply. A newcomer, he had not met the offending Mrs. Burton, bnt so much had been said to him that he felt it to be plain duty to preach a sermon on the sin of staying away from church. In the course of his re marks he mentioned an excuse some times urged by certain vain and frivolous sisters that they had no seasonable bonnet. What he especially dwelt upon was the foolishness of committing so great a sin for so small an article for it was a time when bonnets had suffered a partial eclipse, as it were; for his part, when a bonnet was so small one couldn't tell whether a sister was bareheaded or not. or whether she had it on wrong side or to or not, and was trimmed so re markably one could scarcely tell by the bonnet whether a siBter was going out from church or coming in. he thought it made no difference whether the bonnet was in season or out of season. All this, being aimed at Sister Burton, was lost, for. as usual, she was not at church. Dr. Sims, being interviewed at every turn, said she was not ill, not as he knew of, so her last chance for mercy was gone. Only she lived so far from the Hollow nobody could conveniently investigate or remon strate, for it was four miles or more, up hill all the way, a bad road except in mid summer, when it was delight ful to creep up its cool and shady ways, where the blue harebll Dodded and the wood thrush sung; but autum found it muddy and disagreeable, and it was slippery and perilous is the winter snows. Mr. Burton went down occasionly to store and postofflceand sometimes to church, but even he was not aa regular as he had been in his father's time. And the elderly woman said, with a sigh, that that was the way with children when the restraint was gone. Though, indeed, John Burton would hardly be classed with the young and giddy; a basheful man of 45, who had married the litte school mistress a few years before. To the oft repeated inquiries he always said : "Mrs. Burton would be down before long, he guessed." But the questioners thought he looked solemn and worried like, and it was surmissed that there might be trouble at home; and family troubles we all know, are second only to a church quarrell or a cabinet circles. It is rumored that some relative of Mrs. Burton had left her a large sum of money recently some said $500, some $1,00. Nobody knew, but it was a laree sum, anyway, and Mr. Burton couldn't touch a cent of it, either, unless she chose to let him and folks knew he had long wanted to buy the Widder Cockseu's' med- der lot, and Mrs. Burton was dead set'asrainst it. She'd rather have it in the bank where she could lay her hands on it at any time All these things having been duly rnmmented on. the ladies of the social circles decided that Mrs. Bar ton ought to be interviewed ; first, by t.hfl minister: second, bv a commit tee of ladies; third by the bretheren, if she proved unmanageable by the others. So the minister, like a pleni potentiary, went with full powers to treat. eyes. What a shame ! Such a: nice young man, and the minister, too. But then, it was just like a young man to be taken in by a pretty face, even if he were a minister. Some had always mistrusted that Mrs. Burton was a bit foxy. In a happy moment they fell iipon Aunt Sabrina Reed and implored her to pay Sister Barton a visit the very next time Mr. ' Burton came down. She waa a good little soul. Aunt Sabrina who lived alone; one of the Lord's own poor, always pinched herself in small ways to help on the charities of Moss Hollow. "I can't do much,' she said to her self, "but I can use poor tea and cheap molases and go without But ter. If the good Lord had only made me like them small churbs in the minister's picture, all head and wings, and no stomach to fill now handy it would be, and so economical !" Bnt, alas.! her appetite always seemed to grow in proportion as her means decreased. As for Sister Bur ton poor, dear lamb Aunt Sabrina had known troubk herself, and she Highest of all in Leavening Power.. 1 Latest U. S. Gov't Report. Tbe Truth at IjMt AtXmt tbe ECoopamake.

She filled her carpetbag with some of her choicest herbs, took and old dress and wore he best bombazine that had been willed to her by her great aunt in Dracut and set forth cheerfully with Brother Burton, who, all unsuspecting her secret mission, was heartily glad of her company. It was two weeks before the an nual meeting of the circle, and Aunt Sabrina was expected to return and make a report But Aunt Sabrina, having ascended to the upper regions in the flesh, came back no more than Elijah of old. When Mr. Burton finally appeared at the post office he said they were enjoying Aaut Sabrina's visit 'first rate and she guessed she would ' stop with them quite a spell. Poor Aunt Sabrina! She had never been so comfortable in her life. She had a warm little bedroom off the sitting room, with a sunny south window fall of blossoming plants; a soft bed oh, how soft to her poor old bones ; a bright rag car pet, to look cheerful to old eyes; a great, deep, cozy rocking chair, and a generous, open fireplace, with a cheeful fire all day. Why, it was like heaven to her, she said, over and over again, with happy tears in her faded eyes; and there was no more cheap molasses nor weak tea. . And what good naps she hsd in the capacious rocking chair! Bat, of coarse, the ladies felt that this was adding the last straw to their burden. It was rosolved, thereof, to. send a commit tee of good and wise men to deal with all three. Mr. Burton himself having now fallen under the ban of suspicion, as well as his wife and Sister Sabrina Reed. It was fearful traeling. The snow had fallen aDd fallen and fal len again, until the roads were almost impassable. Fences were blotted out, leaving here and there black spots, where the top of the post appeared like a line of floating buoys on the sea. Somebody had floundered through with an ox team, and a freeze having followed the tracks of the oxen were hardened into many ah ,Icy pitfall, so that it was as much one's life was worth to travel over the 'place where the road had been, and it was some misgiving that the three good' and wise men started on their periloas errand. They had all been made thoroughly aware of Sister Burton's alleged shortcomings there was realy, no room for farther ' conjecture, and t.her therefore refreshed their minds J , , with various abricultnral matters as they toiled along such as the merits of triangular churns as compared with round ones, prospects of maple suo-ar and winter wheat, and some forebodings on the subject of oleomargarine,- varied i occasionally by one or more of them jumping out to balance the sleigh or to lead the horse over some dangerous place -"in and Mr. Brown were to be the Aaron and Hur to stay his hands with appropriate remarks as they might seem to be required. At last all being arranged, they rode with becoming gravity to the offending house. Brother Burton had seen them toiling upward for the last ten minutes. He met them with a cheerful face, although a little flushed, as though conscious of their errand and his own impending doom. The good brethren thought among themselves that possibly he was secretly glad to have some sympa thy and friendly counsel. Meanwhile, Mr. Burton, mindful of hospitality, put their tired horse into the barn and gave him a gener ous feed of oats. Then he ushered them into the sunny kitchen, where the table was spread as if for com pauy uid the oven gave forth a savory smell of roast meat; but Mrs. Burton and Aunt Sabrina were nowhere to be seen. Doubtless, aware of their shortcomings.- they had retreated to the uttermost liniit of some interior apartment, and .were tremblingly waiting to be sum moned forth and dealt with. "Take your things right off, breth ren," said Mr. Burton, heartily. "W hy, how plesant this is; you are just in time for supper." We have come," said Broter Jones, not to be diverted from his errand, solemnly opening the meet ing, "to inquire for Sister Burton and our Sister Sabrina Reed. They haye been somewhat remiss of late." "Oh, yes yes,, to be sure ! Take some seats, brethren," said Mr. Bur ton, rather flurried ly, offering the corpulent brother his wife's chair, which was altogether too small for him. "My wife oh, yes well er the fact is er I guess I'll call Sister Sabrina," and he darted out of the room, his broad face beaming like the full moon at harvest time, while the three rusty black coats sat in a row, eyeing the tabie as three hun gry crows might survey a freshly planted cornfield in April. The door swung slowly open, as though pulled by uuwilling hands. In.-tead of Sister Burton whom they expected to see like a weeping willow on a monumental stone Sister Sabrina Reed appeared, waxed almost fat with her good living, flushed and smiling actually smiling in their faces. The brethren started to their feet, and, if they had had time they would have been amazed and displea3 ed at such a brazen conduct. But what? How is this? She was bringing something to the table : not a turkey, nor even a goose, nor a chicken a lamb, rather, by the soft bleat. ! "Good gracious !" exclaimed Brother Some Good Advice to the Wheat Growers of I the County. As the time is drawing near for preparing land for seeding ' wheat, every farmer who is going to sow wheat this fall should take the ad vantage or the weather from now on and not wait until he wants to sow and then commence to prepare his land. If he does he must not ex pect much wheat the next year. I hear complaints from farmers on all sides about the extremely low. price of wheat. Tnat the price of '; wheat is low we all admit, bit this will not be the case always. Wheat has not been so cheap in thirty years, and I doubt if any one ever saw : wheat sell at 60 cents and corn at 65 cents before. If they did I should like to Know when it was. rarmers say they can't grow wheat at 60 cents, Now I amoing to show you that it can be done at that price.
