THE EVENING STAR.
Along the unsay slope 1 sit.
And dream of other yean;
My heart is full of soft regrets,
My eyes of lender tears.
The wild bees hummed about the spot,
The sheep-bells tinkled far.
Last year when Alloc sat with me
Beneath the evening slur.
The same sweet star Is o'er me now,
Around the same soft hours;
But Alice moulders In the dust
With all tlio last year s flowers,
I sit alone, and only hear
The wild bees on the steep.
And distant beds that seem to float
From out the folds of sleop.

RUSSETS.
A late Maroh twilight, with a bitter
frost in the air, the new moon just
tipping its golden horn behind the
maple swamp in the west, aud the
ground sounding crispy under foot.
We had jusi come in from foddering
the cattle—"we" sounds rather singu-larly,
when you reflect that It meaut
Kitty and me, two girls of seventeen
and nineteen ; but you see there was
Dot anyone else to do it. Father had
been bedridden ever since that last at-tack
of paralysis, and we could afford
to hire no one to take his place about
the farm.
I was in great spirit*, playing with
pussy, who came to meet us with her
plumy tail erect ; but Kitty leaned
sadly against the wooden mantel and
looked into the fire with mournful
eyes.
"Kitty," cried I at last, "what does
make you so dull ?"
"To-morrow Is the third of March,"
said she, gravely.
"What of that," I demanded.
" Don't you remember ? The inter-est
on the mortgage comes due to-mor-row."
" So It does," said I, my radiant face
falling taster than a thermometer ou a
freezing day. " Thirty-five dollars!
And we have nothing to pny it with
except the fifteen dollars Lauru Osgood
paid for the old m<alodeon."
"Perhaps Willis Avery would wait,"
suggested Kitty.
I drew myself up s'iglitly.
"I don't choose to ask him to wait,"
said 1.
Now it happened that Willis Avery,
who held the mortgage on our home-stead,
was the son of a neighbor, and
a play-fellow aud a boy-beau of my
own, who had gone to the prosperous
young city a few miles north of us
and commenced business on his o*n
account, and I had a particular aver-
•iou to asking aid or help of him in
any way. I might be poor, but I was
also proud, and Kitty was sympathet-ic
enough to uuderstand me.
"But then, what are we to do?"
said Kitty.
I sat down ou the hearth rug with
my chin la my hands, and stared
earnestly at the big crackling black
log. Pussy crept away and uestled
down in the corner, as if she knew by
instinct that there was a chango of
temperature.
" Look here, Kitty," said I sudden-ly,
"those russet apples! We can
sell them. There are eight barrels at
the least. Eight barrels at two dollars
and ttfty cents a barrel "
"My dear Addy, no one will buy
them at one-fifth the price. Applts
are a drug In the market."
"Here, I grant you ; but not In the
city. I will take them to Mapleton
and selUthem."
"You will, Addy? '
"And why not? 'Squire Dyson
would charge at least 20 percent, com-mission,
and make a favorof it at thnt.
I can't afford either the price or the
patronage. Don't say anything about
it to father. He would only fret and
raise objections. What must be done
must be, and I am the girl to do it."
"But, Addy, how? All this seems
so perfectly wild and visonary to me."
"Well.it needn't; for, believe me,
it's the most practical thing in the
world. All we have to do is to sort
the apples out in barrels, nice and
sound—I can easily do it by lantern
light to-nig!it—aud to-morning we'll
rise early, harness old Dobbin to the
lumber wagon "
"But how are we to get the heavy-barrels
ui) into the wagon?"
"Qoosie!" cried I, laughing, "cant
I put the barrels in the wugon while
they're empty and fill them up at n\y
leisure? And I'll have them sold at
Mapleton before you've got the polk
and cabbage boiling for dinner."
"But where will you go?" asked
Kitty.
"O, I know o.' lots of places. I went
once to town with Obadlah Falrweath-er
when he sold a lot of cheese. I
have a pretty good idea of the locality
of the commission stores, I can tell
you.
" Just booghtft ship-load from Al-bany,"
said he, as carelessly as if
ship-loads of apples were as common a
produce us ten cents of tape. Aud I
drove on, beginning to feel infliiitesi-mally
small.
Mr. Lovejoy could give me $2 a b ir-rel.
"Apples wasn't worth no more
at this season of the year." And I
whipped old Dobbin up,determined to
carry them home again sooner tliau
sell at that price.
Aud the next place where I stopped,
a (.'l^asant-lookiug, middle-aged man,
came out aud critically examined my
apples, "Do they hold out like this ail
the way down ?"he asked.
"I'll warraut them," said I careless-ly.
"How muoh ?" he asked.
"Two dollars aud a half a barrel!"
He reflected.
"It's a good price," said he, as if
he were talking to his own vest but-tons
; "but then they look like good
apples, aud we've a tolerably large
Western Older to All. I'll see what
my partner thinks."
He went buck into the gloomy
depths of his store, and, I, happuuing
to glance up, saw the words printed in
black letters over the door : "Hull &
Avery."
My first impulse was to drive on aud
leave the chance of a bargain behind
me ;my next, to sit still and await mv
fate as Providence dealt it out for me-
And presently out came Willis Avery
himself.
•1 tbiuk we'll take your load, if—.
Why?" breakiug off short, "it's Ad-die
Walters !"
I colored scarlet.
"Yes," said I, as composedly as pos-sible.
"Good morning Mr. Avery. I
shall be obliged if you will examine
the fruit as^ speedily as possluleas I
am in a hurry."
"Uh, certainly." He looked as If a
nipping frost had chilled his enthuai-a-
iii iu the bud, and I secretely exult-ed
within myself.
Mr. Hull bought the load of apples
and said it' I hail auy more at the same
price-and of the same quality he
cautiously added—he would be happy
to take them. Willis Avery touched
his hut aud I drove away as loftily as
Queen Iloadieca iu her chariot of old.

JEFFERSON AND THE BOY.
IT WAS COLD.
Meredith Reed has some lutereetinii ^
aaeedotea concerning Governor M
gan aud Horace Oreeley in the Maga-zine
of American History. Among
others he tells the following :
With all his apparent coldness, Gov-ernor
Morgan has a keen sense of hu-mor.
I distinctly recollect that at a
meeting of the trustees of a certain
learned university the secretary failed
to arrive, and I, being the youngest
member of the board, was called upon
to act as secretary pro tern. In the
course of the subsequent proceedings
Horace Oreeley handed me a resolu-tion
which he had prepared with great
care at his hotel. After vain efforts to
decipher the extraordinary hiero-glyphics,
I handed back the paper
with the request that Mr. Greeley
would read it himself. Turning it In
every direction, with a most perplex-ed
countenauce he suddenly exclaim-ed,
in his high piping voice : "Plague
take it! I cau't ; it's cold!" Where-upon
Governor Morgan, whe was sit-ting
next to him burst Into a tempest
of laughter which carried with it every
one in the room.

One day as Jefferson was riding on
horseback through Virginia ou his
way from Washington to Monticello
he came upon a boy trudging along
with his clothes iu a satchel which
bung on a stick from his shoulder.
He was motioued to get iu, aud iu a
moment he was sitting by the side of
the President, who opened the con-versation
by asking him who he was
aud where he was going. He replied
that ids name was Morgan and that
he was goiug home from school, and
continued by putting the same ques-tions
to the President, saying, "I beg
your pardon, stranger, but what might
your name be?"
The President replied, "My name is
Thomas Jefferson."
The boy looked up astonished aud
asked :
"Not Tom Jefferson, President of
the United .States?"
"Yes," replied Jefferson, and as ho
did so the boy jumped from tbe gig
and into the road, sayiug, "I have
heard of you, Tom Jefferson. My
father says you are a rascal aud
wouldn't he thrash me if he caught
me a rldin' with you. Father knows
you ami he thinks you are the biggest
scoundrel in the country!"

A YOUNO BENEDICT AND HIS INTRU-SIVE
MOTHER-IN-LAW.
HIS EARS DECEIVED HIM.
Featherly (matting an evening call)
—8o your mother has returned from
the country, Miss Clara?
Miss Clara—Ob, no ; she won't be
home until next week.
Featherly (surprised)—Strange ! Is
not that her voice I hear upstairs ?
Miss Clara (in a contrained voice)—
No ; that is Bobby at work with hie
new scroll saw.—New York Sun.
DON'T SCOLD.
'After all,Addy," hesitated my con-servative
little sister, "it isu't a wo-man's
work."
"Why isu't it, I should like to
know, so long as a woman can do it?
At all events, a woman must pay her
debts—so, if you'll hurry up the tea,
I'll be off to tlfe barn."
" And what shall we tell papa?"
"Oh, he'll think Ive gone to sing-ing
schcol with the Dyson girls, aud I
don't think it's a Christian duty to
undeceive him," answered I.
But notwithstanding the brave face
I put upon affairs, my heart quivered
- "tile the next day as I drove off to-
WBl^ , with the scarlet staiu
of sunrise dyeing all the east, and my
own cheeks flushed with the keen
morning air.
But It wasn't so bad, after all. With
pardonable egotism, I supposed that
every one would be staring at me, but
upon tbe contrary, a young woman
selling apples might be the common-est
eight In the world, so little com-ment
or surprise did it apparently ex-cite.
Mr. Halloway, of the firm of
Halloway Brothers, produce and com-mission
merchants, didn't want any
apples, I speedily learned.
"I met my fate at a picnic last week,
said a dejected looking young man
who dashed breathlessly into the
Tombs yesterday.
" Well, go ou," said Justice Power.
"We were married aftertwenty-four
hours" acquaintance. She is nineteen
with lovely red cheeks, blue eyes "
"I don't cure for that," impatiently
remarked the justice.
"I had money saved up'" continued
the young man, "and I took her to a
nice home We were as happy as a
p-iii" of doves. Tbe second day after
inarringe a tall, grim-looking woman
rushed into the house and clasped me
Iu her arms. 'Pay the express man,
my son, and fetch iu the trunks,' sie
said ; 'I cau't live without my daugh-ter.
Jviy home will be here hencefor-ward.'
I felt like dropping in my
boots. My troubles be^au from that
moment. My wife didn't like her
coming, either ; she seemed afraid o
her. She wasu't a day in the house
when she assumed control. What-ever
I did she found fault with. My
life was a burden to me. I thought of
many plans to get rid of her, but this
one worked successful: I learned from
my wife that tier mother had a sister
living in Philadelphia, aud I wrote a
de-patch to my molher-iu-law, telling
her to come on immediately as she
was dying. My mother-lu-law was on
a train inside of an hour and I hurtled
here for your advice."
"Run home quic«ly and pack up
your things and move to another
neighborhood," said the justice, "for
I'll warraut she returns on the next
train and then, young man, she'll
warm you nicely."
••Yes—yes, I'll do that." said the
young husband. "But I have her
two trunks iu the house. I don't
Want to keep auythlngH-eloDging to
her."
• Hasn't she any home ?"
"Yes, juduejabe has a room in
Brooiue street."
"Well, let an expressman take her
trunks there, and you suit out of that
house as fast as you can."
"Thanks, thanks," be said ; "and if
by your advice I get rid of her, I shall
never forget you."
arougr
to his journey's end,.urging him be-fore
leaving to call upon him at Wash-ington,
promising blm nuythlng he
desired should he honored with a vis-it.
"You'll not forget me?" asked the
enfant terrible.
"Not I," replied Jefferson.
A year or thereabout after this oc-currence
young Morgan, becoming
disgusted with things about home,ran
off to Washington, trudging his way
with Ftaff ana gripsack, and covered
with mod and dust and clay made his
way to the White House and walked
boldly Into a room where he saw Jef-firson
bending over a table writing.
He went up to him and laying his
hand on his shoulder shouted: "Hello,
Tom Jefferson, I've come alter that
ofllce." The President looked up but
could not remember the hoy. Noting
his amt-z-d look, young Morgan con-tinued
; "There, I told you you would
not remember me when I came here."
Jefferson replied that bis face was
familiar, and on Morgan telling who
he was the President treated him
kindly ,aud asked him to be seated. He
then callct. a servant and ee*t the boy
off to be brushed up, asking h m if he
had another suit of clolbes, to which
he replied that he had. He was then
given a room in the White Hotibe.snd
the President told him to look about
for a few days and see what kind of
an ofllce he wanted. This young
HnrgftO did, and at the < no: of the first
dny told Jefferson he believed he
would take a colonelcy in the army.
Presideut Jeffenoo laughe 1 and told
him that the colonels were always old
men. H»> must take something Jelse,
but not to he in a hurry—to look
around aud see the city. He then sent
a midshipman with him to make
things pleasant for him, and in a day
or two young Morgan decided that he
would rather be a midshipman than
any thiug else. Jefferson at once gave
him the appointment, and he went on
a ship immediately. He made a splen-did
naval officer, and died a commo-dore.
For the sake of your children, don't
do it. It is a great misfortune to have
children reared In tbe presence and
under tbe influence of a scold. The
effect of the everlasting complaining
aud fault-finding of such persons is to
make the young who hear It unaml-able,
malicious, callous-hearted, and
they often learn to take pleasure in
doing the very thing for which they
receive such tongue-lashings. As they
are always getting the blameof wrong-doing,
whether they do it or not, they
think tbey might as well do wrong as
right. They lose all ambition to strive
for tbe favorable opinion ot tbe fault-tinder,
since they see they always
strive in vain. Thus a scold is not on-ly
a nuisance, but a destroyer of the
morals of children. If these unloved,
dreaded people could only see them-selves
as others see them they would

made without yeast, it eaten before it
becomes stale, ferments again in the
stomach, producing indigestion and
numerous other complaints. Bread
raised with Royal Baking Powder, in-stead
of yeast is entirely without this
defect ; but on the contrary, is a
preventive of indigestion and dyspep-sia.
By the me ot Royal Baking
Powder the saccharine properties of
the flour, which are destroyed by fer-mention
with yenst.are preserved and
the bread Is made more nutritious.
Ten per ceut more bread is baked—be-cause
of this saving—from the same
quautlty of flour.
The Rjyal llaking Powder will also
make sweet, white bread, from ac in-terior
quality of flour, a property pos-sesses
by no other leavening agent.
Thus, much flour that Is dark in color
or from other cause is considered be-low
the finer grades, and therefore
much cheaper, can be utilized and
turned iuto a perfeotly sweet and
wholesome bread. Nor cau bitter
bread ever result from the use of too
much, or more than the required
quautity, of Royal Baking Powder ;
as, whether used in tniall or large
quantities, its proportions are in such
equivalents that they always neutra-lize
each other. Bread made iu this
way does not require mixing over
night, but may be prepared ready for

which will be redlly appeciated
by every housekeeper.

relief obtained by Its use. I heartily rec-ommend
it to those suffering from this or
