Miss Becky's father y been the district schco teacher in 'Jiote far off days of her girlhood. He U taught her the simple lore at his com- Bind, but it was Larry Rogers who had tjjght her music, hour after hour, in the empty schoolhouse they had practiced Mether, while he wrote the score on the J^kboard. But al this had not sufficed to enable her to earn a livelihood. Her edncation, musical and otherwise, had (topped short of any commercial valufe. Id those days she never expected to earn iier living by the sweat of her brow. Ljrry was going to give her everything. How trivial the little quarrel seemed to- day which circumvented this fine resolve of his But what magnitude it had as- itmed at the time On his r«turn from atrip to a neighboring city, some busy- iody had whispered to Larry that Miss lie ky had been seen driving, with Squire Eiistis' son Sam behind his trotters. Sam ra just home from college, a harnm- Karum fellow, they said, who made love right and left and gambled a bit and when Uny reproached her with it she had|not de nied she had simply said " What then If you choose to listen to gossip rather than Tilt till youâ€"' "But you didn't tell me, and I've been home a week." " I bad forgotten all about it till yon re- minded me," said Becky. " It's such an every day affair for you to drivewithSam Kustis " â€" which inciedulity n stuDg Becky that she would not con- descend to explain that she had carried aome needlework up to Squire Eustia' which she had been doing for his wife, and that as she left to walk home Sam was just itartiog off with his smart chaise and new dapple-gravs, and the Squire had said, "Tike iliss Becky home, Sam, and show her their paces " and how she had been ishamed to refuse their kindness, although preferring to walk a thousand times and how, once in the chaise Sam had been the piak of courtesy, and had begged hei to Mve over with him to Parson Amory 'a tliree miles out of her way, " that Lucy Amory may see you don't disdain my com- PMy. For, you see," said Sam, who was Mt as black as he was painted, or as many liked to suppose, " Lucy can make me what "he will without her I ahall be nothing Md nobody but they've told her all kinds of wild things about me; they've told her «he might as well jump into the river as J»»rry such a scapegrace.

And Becky had consented. How could she raise to do a service for such a true lover â„¢ slight a thing, too She had often t^versed the same road since on foot, on Mr daily rounds of toil or mercy. Sam 'Mtis had married Lucy Amory years ago, "d was the foremost man in the country »â- %.

Some of her friends haa travelled to pastures new, some had mamed away, some had ignored or forgotten her. As for Larry Rogers, he had been away from Plymouth this many a year. Somebody had sent him abroad the year after Lucy Amory's mwTiage to develop his musical genius. He had g^own into a famous violinist, playing aU over the country to crowded houses, be- fore the finest people in the land. It was a beautiful romance to Miss Becky to read in the Plymouth Record about our "gifted townsman " she seemed te hear the echo of his violin when the wind swept through the pine boughs she did not blame him because she sat in the shadow, because her life had been colorless. She sang again the old tunes he had taught her, and made a little sun- shine in her heart. All of happiness she had ever known he had brought her. Why should she complain? And now s'le was going to the Old Ladies' Home. "It isn't exactly what I expected in my youth," she said to the old doctor's widow. " Ko but you'll have a nice room and a bright fire, and the neighbors will drop in to see you and make it home like. Now, there's old Mrs. Gunn. NoUiing can persuade her to go to f'e home. She says it s only a genteel almshouse after all and so she rubs along with what little she can earn and what the neighbors have a mind to send in, and they have to do it mighty gingerly too, just as if they were asking a favor of her. Jlior,' she doesn't earn her salt." "I dare aay." returned Miss Becky. " Now, if it hadn't been for the rheumatism I could earn my living for years yet, and maybe £;et something ahead again, but it seems as if the rheumatism laid in wait for the poor and friendless." "You ought to have married when you were young, Becky," said the doctor's widow, who had forgotten all about Becky's love affair and labored under the impression that she never had a chanceâ€" an impression which matrons are apt to entertain concern- ing their single friends. Miss Becky had been spending some weeka with Mrs. Dr. D wight, who had moved away from Ply- mouth after her husband's death. She was- there chiefly to put some stitches into the widow's wardrobe, which nobody else would do so "reasonably," that lady's grief hav- ing incapacitated for her holding a needle or giving her mind to material details of " seam and gusset and band." But during the visit Miss Becky had been seized with her sharpest attack of rheumatism, which had kept her in bed for weeks, till her wagetf were exhausted by drugs and doctor's fees. It was at this time that she made up her mind to go into the home on her return to Plymouth. Mrs. D wight saw her off at the station. " I hope you'll find the home cosy," ahe said outside the car window. " It's lucky Para ju Amory left you that hundred dollars after all. He might have doubled it." " Yes, I auppose so," Miss Becky anawer- ed meekly. Perhapa ahe was thinking that it she were Mrs. D wight no old friend of hers should go begging for a refuge at an almshouse. Perhaps she was thinkin? of the pretty, conofortable home waiting for her friend, and wondering why their fortunes were so unlike. " Write when you reach Plymouth and let me know how you're suiteid," said Mrs. Dwight, and just then the cars gave a lurch and left her behind, and Miss Becky turned her tr'anoe inwards. Somebody had taken the seat beside her. "Your friend was speaking of Parson Amory and Plymouth," he said. " I couldn't help hearing. I was born in Plymouth my- self, but I haven't met a soul from there these twenty years. I'm on my way to look up my old friends," " Twenty years is a long time," answered Becky. " I'm afraid you won't find 'many of your friends left. You'll hardly know P.ymouth." " I suppose notâ€" I suppose not- Havc you lived there long " " I I have lived there all my days." " Good I'm hungry for news of the peo- ple. Tell me everything you can think of. Did Parson Amory leave a fortune? He was called close.

" She has none she is on her way to the Old Ladies, Home." " To the Old Ladies, Home 1 Becky Thorne " he gasped. " And I " "You aeemto know her pretty well,!' said Becky, who was beginning to enjoy the incognito. " I should think so.

Just then the train thundered through the tunnel and they forgot that they were " sixty odd."

Artificial asphalt is principallv distingu- ished from the natural substance by its dull colour and its scarcely perceptible odour. It is a product of the dis. illation of coal tar. The fluid distillate obtained in the manufac- ture of coal-gas represents about four to seven per cent, of the quantity of coal used, and, after about two-thirds of its weight has been removed in the shape of fluid oils by fractional distillation, a residue is left which cools into a firm black substance, known as artificial asphalt or black piteh. ing to the quantity of oil removed. One of the most important uses of this asphalt is for fuel in the shape of briquettes, small coal, sawdust, c. being mixed with it. Asphalt pipes and flooring are also made from it, as well as lamp black of inferior quality. For the manufacture of lacquers, artificial as- phalt is much less snitable^than the natural substance, as the coating obtained ia liable to crack, and is wanting in brilliancy. SOIENTinC AND USEPUL.

The proceaa of faatening fema to a book is very easily accomplished. With a small brush gently touch the back of the fronds here and there with a Uttle common gum, putting only sufficient to keep the fronds from turning up. Place a piece of blotting- paper on the top of the fern, and put a weight on- top of the book, and when dry the process is complete. A French phyaiciat haa been making re- searchea recently into the action of cane- sugar and treacle on iron, and finds that they corrode iron with the formation of an acetate of the metal. The fact ia of practi- cal utility in connection with boilers, be- cause it happens sometimes that sugar gets into the water supplied to boilers in sugar- refineries, and consequently tends to deteri- orate the boilers. The abolition of resistance is absolutely necessary in connecting a lightning-conduc- tor with the earth, and this is done, says Professor Tyndall, by closely embedding in the earth a plate of good conducting materi- al and of large area. The largeness of area makes atonement for the impfflfect conduc- tivity of earth. The plate, in fact, consti- tutes a wide door through which the^ elec tricity passes freely into the earth, disrup- tive and damaging effects being thereby avoided. If small quantities of butter, lard, and HOUSEHOLD. AmiuiDg Gbildien- Whether a child can be easily amused, de- pends somewhat upon the amount of im- agination which it possesses. Without this, very many sources of enjoyment are cut off from it. Where it is strong, we have seen a child perfectly happy riding on a- camel with a cane for a spear the camel being made from a small rocker, in- verted in a high chair and a hat or some- thing of the kind used for a head, while a rope answered all the purposes of harness, saddle and trappings. The novelty of so high a position with the unusual arrange- ment of the furniture were the actualities around which the imagination ot the little one built up the whole Eastern superstruc- ture. The same chUd used a wooden chopping bowl or tray for a boat and with two canes for oars world row on the floor for an hour at a time, perfectly contented with the imi- tation. Another child had for years a pet bear that he kept chained in one comer of the parlor and which he was fond of bring- ing out and showing to visitors. He also played with it when alone. This was pure imagination, for there was neither bear nor chain. He always acted as though it was real, stroking the imaginary back and hugging as though he had an animal about two net high. The realistic child, however, iieeds some- thing actual, and the making of dolls often furnishes the desired employment for the little ones. Two rolls of cloth tied together cross wise will form body and arms, while the legs may be ignored in moat caaea. A piece of cloth with a " puckering " atring in one edge and two holea for the arms, answers for a dress. Boys and girls can often be set at such work as this, and get no small amount of pleasure from the num- bers of " children " which they hafo. Boats that can be sailed on the floor are fm endleaa aource of amusement to children who live near the water or who have any interest in shipping or steamers. If boats are planned in a simple way, the child can make them himself, and have the pleasure of numbers added to hia interest in hia own workmanship. This element of number ia an important one, and at times adds greatly to the zest of the play oi the toys. As tar as possible, the child should be en- couraged to make his own toy's. Planning with the head to make with the hands brings out some of the most important beef -fat be teparately boiled and slowly powers of the child and at the aan^e time tt*Mliii^ Mir oftrMi mdr tlM eMiyingont aflkoae Bfein ' oftan be nMdetiMwnnaef i^ Bat soiM oaseatiieplaBiBiBg mnatbnt for the ehildiaa, in oUms an interaak Qnut betaken In their work IF on^ m m«^ )|i' ia diown fay going and locddng on at intarrala, or nving a wmd of nughborly advipa in re- gard to the " crops " or seme sick anJniia, »te etc Plays of this kind nuy be gradoated to the strength and age of the chud. For ^e little ones a house of three inohfs high with palings no larser tha2 matches will be quite as much as they can manage. The older ones, when they are really interested, may go so far as actually to build, pwhkps, a playhouse. In any event they can h|kve their playhouses large enough to entail some labor. But 1 here are children who were not bom to make. Their parents do not invent, do not whittle, have no mechanical talents. They are, perhaps, merchants, business people, professions! men. In that case there IS an opportunity to mke the bra'n play with the body by simulating the play to the profession and making it ont-«ioor work. "The child may imitate the active part of the parent's work and thus get play for body as well as mind, even in the case of playing at doctor. Id whatever way the child is amused it is well to remember that play is strictly edu- cational. The puppy, in running around after his tail, or the kitten jumping at the shadow of a leaf, is performing purely edu- cational work. Recoguizinir this fact, teachers and parents make a mistake which ia fatal to the very object which they seek. They attempt to make the educational part amusing and amusement instructive. The two are so rarely united that it may be ac- cepted as an axiom that they can not be joined. When a child plays let the play be the one and only object which they seek. Let the teacher select beforehand the play which gives the greatest advantages, but theu let the fun and pleasure be the chief and only object, rMnembering always that only sound bodies can contain sound minds. cooled for, say twenty-four hours, the re- sulting crystals will show very marked dif- ferences under the microscope. The normal butter-crystal is large and globular.. It pol- arises brilliantly, and shows a very well- TiiwkedSt. Andrew's Cross. That of lard hhows a stellar form, while that of beef-fat has a foliated appearance. In course of time, as the butter loses its freshness, the globular crystals degenerate, and gradually merge into peculiarly rosette like forms.

Cutting out I pictures and pasting them on screens is an ' endless indoor amusement which is full of instruction to both eye and hand. Making paper boxes is amusing but not always satis- factory, because the boxes are not always square and the covers do not fit.

Early Tndiuiu;- It is needless to demonstrate a fact so well established as that the future character of an individual depends very largely upon his early training. If purity and modesty are taught from earliest infancy, the mind is fortified against the assaults of vice. If, in- stead, the child is allowed to grow up un- trained if the seeds of vice, which are sure to fall sooner or later in the most care- fully kept ground, are allowed to germinate if the fint buds of evil are allowed to grow and unfold, instead of being promptly nip- ped, it must not be considered remarkable that in later years rank weeds of sin should flourish in the soul, and bear their hideous fruit in shameless lives. Neglect to guard the avenues by which evil may approach the young minc^ and to erect barriers against vice liy oarefnl in- struction and a chaste exMnple, leavea many innocent souls open to the aasanlts of evil, and an easy pr^ to lust.
