I beg your pardon, [didn‘t mean to hurt you, says I, and with that [set down and we rode and rode till we got into Broadway, and then I began to watch all the signs on the shops, so as to get out 'at the right place. At last we got most down to the ferries, so I ask- eda man that had got in, if we hadn’t passed Stewart’s. Oh yes long ago, says he. Dear me I must get out then, says I. I told the driver I wanted to go there, but I suppose he has ,a good deal on his mind a picking his way along, and so forgot it. So I got out and began to walk up the street, and I ran against every body and eveybody ran against me. and I came near'getting run over a dozen times, and was so confused that I didn‘t rightly know how far l‘d walked,so I stopped a girl, and says I. Oh, do you know where Stewart’s is? La, it’s three or four blocks down so, says 3110. You_don"t, come that! dodge over I name of ones me old woman, ‘sayslhe‘.’ "If you Rivas past five when I got to ‘ _ can’t'p'ay your fare ‘you’d better get Goshen post-office, and thinks I 'I guess you’ll have to look tiil‘out ahd walk. So I got out and Sam Avery wont be upbraiding dark if you’re looking for signs, walked till I was ready to drop, but; of me to-night for its quite a piece uuwu 5U, says one. ‘ I didn’t see no Sign up, ‘ Says" I, and so I passed it. I’ve no objections, ma'am, says he, and began to beat his armé a- bout, and blow his hands aS‘if he was froze. I didn't know what to do, where I was, but pretty soon hemmed his horses’ heads about, and began to go back the very way we’d come. So I pulled .1111: check, and says I, I want to go to Stew- art’s. ' W’ell aij't’tyou going? 5338 he. and 1 don't know as there is any need to ‘pull a fellow’s log off! I At last I got strong enough to ride out, and Maria went with me, and after awhile she used to stop at Stewart’srand such places to do her shopping, and I would stay. .in 1the carriage untill she got through, I wanted toysee what sou ofa‘plaee' Stewarts was. for] lleerd tell of it many a time, but [thought Marta "wOuldn'st Want-to hatve me gain with her, and that maybe I could go sometime myself. I asked her what they kept there and she said. Oh everything, and I’m sure the shop looked as big as all out doors. She used to get, into a stage some- times to go down town. and; I watched all she did in them stages so as to know how to manage, and one day I slipped out and got into the firstone that came along,‘ for thinks I, why shouldn't lgo to Stewart’s if I’ve a mind, all my- self? near a railroad depot and all‘ .1118 passengers but me got out. I wait- ed a linle while, and at last [got up, and says I to the driver, Ain’! you a going: no [11111161 P No, I ain’t, says he. But I want to go to Stewart’s, says I. ‘ It carried me up this street and across that, and at last it slgpped That was all she ever said to me about him after I'd signed that pa- per,'bnt when 101le hearts are full they ain’t apt to go to talking much. and I knew‘ now that Marla had got'a heart, and that it was .full, and more 100. Well it‘s an easy 'thing to slip down to the bottom of me hill, but it ain’t hallso easy to get up again as it}, isto lay their in 51 heap, it 'doing nothing. And it took a sight of wine whey. and calves feet jelly, and ale and porter, and them in- temperatekind of things to “drag me a, little way at a time back into the World again. .I'd'idn’t see much of Fred. but Maria used to come up and sit in my room and: work on a little baby's blanket she was coverâ€" ing \vtth leaves and flowers, and sometimes she'd speak quite. soft. andgentle like, and coax me, [to take my beef-tea, Just as if she wanted me to get well. she Was- n’t never much ol'a talker, but we, got, used to each other more’n 1‘ ever thought we should. And one daywthen! I. know it was silly, but when she was giving me some thing, I took hold of that pretty soft hand of hers and kissed it. And the color came and went in her face, and she burst out a crying, and says she : ' I shouldn’t han dared so much, onld i wanted 10 love Fred! ‘ I masm’t g0 and {have 1h5t’w‘cfil' a sounfiing inhevMav’s Liars. » And when I know I ought'not Io do a thing, I don’t do it. So that lime I didn’t die. No, Abuan, no, says 7, them ’ere cloaks ain’t for old women like me. Sol bid him goodbye and all the clerks good-bye that stood round a laughing in their sleeves, and I went out to look for a stage and there was a nice policeman a stand- ing there, so _l told him where l wanted to go, for, thinks I, it makes a good deal of odds which stage you get into,,and he put me in and [sat down by a man with a gold ring on his finger and little short, black curls round his forehead, and he was quite sociable andl told him where I’d been, and hoe} I hadn't bought nothing, and thenwe talked about the weather, and at last he got out. Andjust after that I put mv hand in my pocket to get my purse, and there wasn’t no purse there. - * Goodness! says I, to all the folks in the stage, my purse ain’t in my pocket ! That man with the 011er hair sat pretty close to you, says one of the passengers. But its no use trying to catch him now. But_I ain’t got no money to pay my fare, says I, and 1 must go right out. So I made the drlver slop, and says I, I'm very sorry, Mister, but my pocket's been picked and I cant pay my fare. He colored up and looked at me pretty sharp, and says he, excuse me for not recognising you Miss Avery. Its so many years since I left Goshen. I’ll send the cloaks for you with pleasure. VVODt you have one for yourself? No I ain’t, says I. l suppose you think there ain't no ladies but what wears silks and satins, laces and veivels. But I’ll tell you what, Abijah Pennell, when you‘ve lived as long in llle world as l have you wont judge lolks jest by their clothes. The clerk said. they had some, but, says he, They’re very expen- sive, and never offered to show them tome. W011 I ain't pertect, and I felt a little riled in my feel- ings. And says I, as mild as] could, Ididn’t say nothing about the price. Iasked you. ‘if you’d got any 0’ them cloaks. Upon that he took out one or two, and I liked them pretty well, though when I heerd the price I found my twenty dollars warn't a going ‘ to help much; but then Ididn't care. I don’t want such finery myself, thinks I, but Maria’s young and she wants it, and she and Fred feel pretty 'lrjadiland 1 don’t know as it’s any 01 Sam Avery's business how 1 spend my money. Folks down to Goshen they might say aunt Avery she’s grown worldly and fond ot the pomps aad vanities, but then ’taint true if they do say it. ’Taint worldly to wear good clothes, and' ’taint pious to wear bad ones. The Lord don’t look on the outside, and I have a feeling that its right for Maria to have one of them l cloaks So I says to the man,‘ Won‘t you be so good as to let me carry home two 0‘ them cloaks, to show Mrs Avery, for I don’t know which of ’em she'd like best. He stared at me half a minute, and then says he, Are you her seam- stress? No. they hadn’t got any kind of soap. Theronwas some other lllllf‘ l things I wanted, such as pins and neddles and buttons, bull didn’t like mask for ’om, {or iflhey didn’t happen to have none of'em it might hurt their feelings to have people know it. But there was one thing I thought I'd venture to ask for. and that was a velvet cloak. I'd heerd Maria saw a new kind of cloak was uncommon handy, and I had twemygdmlars invmy pocket 3. purposo to hay it with. For I kind 0’ liked Maria, and I piliod her too, for she and Fred didn’t seem good friends. and then I had made so much trouble when l was s1ck. ‘ savsrsldeg'andl'an'ay Sheri whim; l was" pretty well usd up, I_ wa‘S“so tired, but'l went baCk, and ‘1l1is time I found it and went in, The first thing I asked for was tape.â€"- We don’t keép'it, says the clerk. Do you keep fans? says l. No, fans are not in our line. ' Well1 have you got any brown Windsor soap? - We had an early spring this year, and Fred said the doctor told him l’d better not stay in New York till warm weather came. So I wrote to Sam Avery and told him 1 was a coming home in May, and I thought [ought to tell him how lid gone contrary to his advice and signed away all l’d ever lent Fred, and made him a life member of the Bible Society and them. And 1 asked him not to leel hard to me and to see that the Widow Dean had my room ready against 1 got back. Maria was stiller than ever. And we parted kindly, and Maria as good as said she was sorry to have me go, only it was time to take the children out of town. Fanny, she said she was a going with me, and she got a little trunk and put her things in it. And when I saw her heart so set upon it, I felt a pang such as l never felt before, to think 1 hadn‘t‘got no home to take her to, and how it wouldn't do to venture her on the widow Dean who could- n’t bear children. Well‘ her Pa had to carry her off by main force when the carriage came, and 1 had a dull journey home, for I didn’t seem to have no home, only the name of one; That night Maria had the chil- dren kneel down and say their pray- ers in her room, but l never see her shed no tears, nor heard her a griev- ing. She hid her poor broken heart away in her bosom, and 1herc wan’t no gelling at it to comfort it. lcouldn’t but lay awake nighls a hearing of her a walking up and down in her room, and a chafing and a wearing all to herself, and them tears she couldn’t shed was a wetting my pillow and fairly a bathing my poor prayers for her. Well I Well! there’s some has to ‘toil and fight and work their way up' hill towards the heavenly places, and there's some that never know nothing about no kind of battling, and their litlle white feet never go long enough over the dusty road to get soiled or tired. And when the daylight came in at my windows that morning, Fred and Maria was good friends again, and he had his arms around her and she clungr close to him, but little Gustavus was gone. Gone where such dreadful words as monev ain’t never mentioned; gone straight up 10 the great white throne without no fears and n0 misgivings! Oh Fred, you’re a rich man now, for you’ve got a child up in heaven. Little Fanny she and I kept to- gether a good deal, for she wasn’t no care, and Gustavus he got to be hanging around his old aunt, and I taught him to come in every night to say his prayers. That night he was so good, and coaxed so prettiiv to sleep with me, that l thought I wouldn’t care if the doctor did secld the dear child should have his way now and then. And seeing the-little creature a lying there so innocent and so handsome, and :1 looking just as Fred used to look, I couldn’t help praying more’n common for him, and says 110 myself, He won’t have the croup to-night, any how, with me to cover him up and keep him warm. But. about two o’clock [was woke out ofa sound sleep with that ’ere cough of his. It went through me like a knife. and I got up and gave him his drops right away, and put on more coal and covered . him up warmer, but he didn‘t seem no better, sol had to go and call'Fred to go for the doctor. La I 1 never! says she, I thought you had an idea Ihat every body ought-Io wear sackcloth and ashes. But she did seem sort of pleased and gralcful, and Fred did 100, when he came home, and he and Maria béhaved quite decent locach other, but 1- Could 500- there was something on their minds, and that they wvcrn’t good friends by no means. rNo, dear. save; 1, it ain’tFr'cd, its you}! did aunt that wants to see You pleased and happy and that’s went down to Stewart's and picked out them cloaks. Aunt Avery somebody‘s sent me 1hese cloaks: to choose which I’ll have, and I’m ah‘aid it’s Fred,â€" And Fred’s not going to makeup with me with cloaksJ cantell him. \vlienl Went in, Illerc,was Maria admiring of them cloaks, and says she :‘ ’ TERMS $1 00 In Advance Whole N0. 265. l - . Dear me, is any of ’em Sick? says I. And I put on my things, and Sam whipâ€" ped up the old horse, and next news, we 3 was driving up to the house. Things l didn’t look so changed after all. Them trees was gone, there’s no denying of it, but there wasn’t nothing else gone, and when I went in there wasn’t none 0’ Squire J aekson’s red and yallcr carpets on the floors nor none 0’ his things a. laying about. But there was my little light-stand a setting in the cerner, and my old Bible on it with the spectacles handy by jest as they used to be, and our out she came a rubbing of herself against me, as much as to say: Glad to see you back Aunt Avery, and them two little children, they come running up, and the one kissed me and the other hugged me, and ’twas Fanny and Matili da, and then Fred Avery he walks up, and says lieâ€"\Velcome home aunt; Avery, and Maria she takes both ’0 my‘. hands and a squeezes of them up to her heart, and then says she, Here’s our new baby come to see you, and her name's Aunt Avery, says she, and she put it: into my arms and ’twasn’t bigger than a.- kitten, and it had a little mite of a smile a shining on its face all ready a waiting for me. By this time I was a’most beat out, but they set me down in my old chair, and them children they Was round me, and Fred a smiling, and Maria a smiling, and Sam Avery a shaking hands wlth every body, and I didn’t pretend to make nothing out ’0 nobody, for I knew ’twas- n‘t nothing real, only something I was reading out of a book. Only that he little bubyth'at was named Aunt Avery, it hold tight hold ’0 one ’o my fingers with its tiny little pink hand, and that wasn't nothing you could read out of :1. book no how. And then Amanda she opened the door into the big kitchen and there was a great long table set out with my best china and things, and our minisâ€" ter and his wife and all them chil- dren, and Deacon Morse and the Widow Dean, they’d come to tea. And the minister he stood up, and says he, Let us pray. And in his prayer he told. the Lord all about it, though I guess the Lord knew before, how Maria. had made Fred sell that big house of his, and how he’d bought me back the old place, and how we was all come to tea, and a good many things I couldn‘t rightly in and says he ‘Aunt Avery you put on your bonnet and get into the shay and go right down to the old place. There's somebody down there wants looking after,’ says he. So I didn’t go‘near the old place, and, I didn’t want to, and the time it slipped; by and I got to feeling that nothing ag-: gravating hadn’t never happened to mom Folks come for aunt Avery when they. was sick jest as they used to, and the‘ minister he dropped in every now and then, and Deacon Morse he had over; plenty of them rough sayings of his that didn’t mean nothing but good-Will, and so I felt quite to home. There wasn’t but one thing a stinging of me, and that was Fred and his ways, and Maria and her ways.

For of counsel ‘ wasn’t going to New York without- gettin a black silk gown for my ministers wife, and a doll for little Rebecca, and wooden cats and dogs for the rest of’cm. Sam Avery he was a going and a coming more'n common this spring, and he- says to me one day, Aunt Avery don’t you go to looking at the old place when you’re wandering out‘ You soc squire Jackson’s been cut- ting:r and a hacking, and there’s a good deal going on there, and it might rile yonr feelings to see the, mass, says he. At breakfast I eypcclpd Sam would begin about Fred; but he didn’t, Amanda she didn'yand we two we washed up the dishes and swept Ihe floors and made the b'éds'; and Amanda she let me do jest hag I had a mind'to, andit didn’t seem like Vboardin’ at all.» ' And after a} he read a clzflpley and we had pré’yi 91's, and I went to bed, and'l hever knew nothing after I laid my head on the pillow, but. slept all night like a liule baby.
