THE WEEKLY RECORDER. 8IXTEBNTH YEAR HOME FIRST—THI 1BWAHDB. ESTABLISHED 1B89.-RE-E8TABLISHED 1877 I \ VOL. XVI. NO. 2i>. 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. —RiclMrd Henry Stoddtirtl. 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. IS IT ANYBODY'S BUSINESS. CONSHOHOCKEN, PA., BATj IDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, L885.

"Just $35, counting the melodeon money," cried Kitty, gleefully. "Aud now, Mr. Avery may come as BOOU as he likes." She had scarcely spoken the words before there came a knock at the door and in walked no less a persnu tbau Mr. Willis Avery himself. I received him with the air of an empress. "Your money is ready, Mr. Avery." "I was not thinking of the money, Addy," said he almost reproachfully. ways on money?" "Mine does, a good deal," said I, laughing. "But I had no idea you were reduc-ed to this. I did not know." "Mr. Avery, this is scarcely busi-nesslike," I interposed. "Addy," said he abruptly, "I admir-ed your spirit and courage to-day. I always liked you as a girl, but now—" "Well,,' for he hesitated. "I would do something more if you would let me. 1 would love you." I did uot answer. Iu truth and in fact I could-not. "Dear Addy, will you let me sigu back the old place to your father on our wedding day?" he asked earnestly And somehow he had got hold of ray hand, and somehow before I knew It, we were engaged. 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. $1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE POWDER Absolutely Pure. 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!" The Presideut was so amused at the h!«i.m»'» teo.hathrueiiucaKrrciaagnedoarn<tThanrtohtiijriiiTnviiitietdn 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 ill' to the mountains in very shame. BREAD WITHOUT YEAST. *"- - —HI ,_ , <-.„., .u,. rL ---:) 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 tbe oveu In a few minutes , an advan-tage which will be redlly appeciated by every housekeeper. This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength ana wholesoincness.

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;

The wild bees on the steep.
And distant beds that seem to float
From out the folds of sleop.

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
