BULBS BOB SOCIETY.
You ask n.e tor rules oi society,
The following were given to me.
Ala-.! though they sound i>ro«ty simple,
1 fall In each one of the three.
The first Is the shortest, but hardest;
Farg4t your««y-dre»s, looks and all.
Mot wishing you're Btouter or thinner,
Less dark, or less fair, or less tall;
Forget, though your dress may be shabby,
Forgot, too, the go of your hair;
Forgottlng. in short, all about you,
Uemcmbor all else who are there
Bule two \t,-TMn*alv>ay9 ofothtr:
And when you uro thinking be sure
To try and discover their btit points,
Don't dwell on tlio faults tlioy should cure.
If you only look and endeavor
You always may llml something good.
The. most disagreeable IS never
Too utterly honid anil rude,
Kemoinber th s one has hail trouble,
That other one may have feeble health,
This man lias been soured by poverty.
Another no less BO by wealth.
These two are bnt Just the exceptions,
For out of the people you meet
You'll Il>-i<l only one who Is soar
In proportion to ten woo are"sweet.
Think always tho best things about them,
It will not tie hard II yon try-
Ami then yon can always say truly
"In this thing he's bettor than I,"
The third rule Is, Make Ihem all happy:
Look around to see who is left out
Cheer up the shy girl In the corner,
Amuse the old man with the gout.
Take care of that pale-looklng,
And mlud that she's not In the draught,
Hut don't let her see what you're doing.
If needs be, with love mix some craft.
Talk politics now to tho statesman.
Converse with another on trade,
Talk of home and friends to the lonely boy,
And of flowers and woods to the maid.
11 ever you talk ot people,
HiMIIIMII IIIT the rule says "All,"
And you must not be entertaining one
At the cost of another's fall.
It's your mission to make all happy,
And never to drop a speech
That could carry sorrow to any hoart.
Wherever your words might ruach.
After all, It's the Bible maxim
That puts it shortest and best i
"He kind, be courteous, be full of love"—
You may talely leave the rest.
A. B.
THE MISSING WILL.
The autumn leaves rustled dla-nal-ly,
the old oak tree at the corner of
the Hazelton farmhouse, or Oak wood,
as It was called, waved Its bare branch-es
diearlly in tbe midnight wind, as
It sighed and groaned weirdly in a
fashion which reminds one of ghosts
and hobgoblins and almost, converts
tbe firm non-believer into a strong
apirltulists, and unless he Is possessed
of the bravery of some hold warrior of
old, makes bim quake with fear.
Inside.the scene was more sombre.
Old Farmer Hazeltou was breathing
bis last. His aged face was pinched
and drawn with p.iiu, his eyes bad a
troubled, restless, anxious look about
tli. in; bis long, snow-white hair
fell in bold relief against tbe black
kress of hi* adopted daughter as he
lay with his head pillowed on her
shoulder.
Paralysis, that most cruel of all dis-ease",
which strikes i hem down and
prevents (hem from saying; that last
farewell which is so coiufortluK and
takes so much of tbe bitter sting away
when parting from loved on«s. had
taken possession of him and bad since
rendered speech imposslb'e; hut be
bad found a lender and sKillful nurse
in the child he had taken and cared
for as one of bis own. His wife, dv-iog
several years before, had left him
childless and alone in tbe world, with
the exception of a cruel, ht-arlleHs.step-brother,
to whom he had not spoken
for years.
He had acquired a great deal of this
world's goods, and the prediction of
everyone was that Evelyn would be
bis heiress, for did he not love her as
an own dear daughter, and -vas he not
at enmity with his only living rela-tive?
Farmer Hazelton loo .ed at bar
pleadingly, with a longing expression
In bis sunken eyes, as though he
would fain speak with them, since bis
lips refused to his bidding.
"What Is It, papa? What would
you have me do? Oh, If you, could
only speak to me just once before you
die," said Evelyn in a heart broken
voice, as the tears streamed down ber
lovely face.
The old man glanced restlessly from
the window to her face. The branch-es
of the old oak tree tapped against
tbe window , semlngly saying, "here
here."
Thinking the wind annoyed him,
she rose aud closed the blind,but when
she returned there was the same de-spairing
look there, only growing
more helpless, as his breath became
shorter each moment. A sudden In-spiration
came over ber. "Papa, do
yeu"—eagerly—"wish i. e to promise
to always stay at Oakwood?"
The dissatisfied, anxious expression
passed away, be tried to nod bis head
affirmatively, hut ma ie but a feeble
success.
The huge old-fashioned clock chim-ed
twelve; the wind groaned louder
than ever; the tree kept up Its cease-less
tapping; the old man's head drop-ad
upon his c'.iest. Kvelyu was aloa e
at midnight with the dead.
With one hard, dry sob, she fell
across his dead body. She realized in
one dreadful moment that she was
alone in the world. Her last dear
friend had gone. Kind neighbors
coming In In the morning to Inquire
blB condition and see what could be
done, found them thus. The gently
led ber away and Insisted upon her
resting. The village undertaker was
sent for and arrangements made for
the funeral. Poor F.velyn was almost
heart-broken.
The next morning going Into tbe
parlor where be was laid out all ready
for the funeral which was to take
place that afternoin, she knelt down
and sobbed until h< r very frame shook
with emot'on. Bhe had knelt there
but a few minutes wht-n a heavy,
rough baud, was laid on her shoulder.
Looking up she perceived a large,
rough man sta-ding above her. Sha-king
her rudely he bade Ijer "rise.and
no more of ber nonsense, (or he meant
business."
Evelyn, with quiet dignity, rose
wonderlBgly.attdaald, "Wtio are you,
sir, and why do you thus rudely In-trude
on my sorrow?"
"Who am I and why do I Intrude ?
I'd have you understand that I have
more right here tbao you—a poor pau-per
and foundling. I am that old fel-low's
brother," nodding scornfully at
the rofbn, "and have come to demand
the will that he left." The remem-brance
caure to ber in au Instant of
the step-brother, whose reputation
went lar from re-assuring her.
"The will!" In a surprised tone.
■'Why be didn't leave any."
An exultant, fiendish look passed
i ver his face. The thought flashed
through his head—If there was no will
;-iie was penniless, f>r shecould "claim
nothing regally.
"Eb, didu'i leave any? Well,then
see that you hurry this old fellow oil
aud you yourself take your departure
a* soon as possible; You understand 1
I, as the only living relative, will fall
heir to It all."
Her lonely condition now forced it-self
upon ber in all its awful aspects.
"O, but sir, I have no place else to
<o, aud It was his last wish that I
should always remain at Oakwood.
And," with d.rision, "I sha.l not
leave It, for I have promised and I
hold a promise to the dead sacred."
"it was, eb ?'' be said, determined
to insult ber to tbe extent of his pow-er,
and make bis revenge (as he
thought) on his dead brother perfect,
little thinking this proud-spirited girl
would accept the offer. "Well, Maria
snd Susan will want a maid and my
wlfe'll want a servant, BO if you stay,
you stay in those capacities only."
After considering a moment:
"I accept the terms ; there is noth-ing
else for me to do," and a proud
flush mounted to her lace, as she add-ed
: "I know, sir, that he Intended to
leave it all to me, but rather than
show any disrespect to bis wishes, I
will remain." This, with calm dig-nity
as she looked tenderly at the face
she loved so well.
Hough, Ignorant, coarse man though
he was, he was forced Into respectful
silence by ber grief. But his callous-ed,
I ardened heart, unknown to pity,
did not remain touched long.
"Well, we'll all be here, bag and
baggage, to-morrow, and see that you
air everything, and remember that
you are no longer mistress here, but a
servant." With this parting shaft, be
to k his departure.
The funeral with all its sad rites was
over. Evelyn, with several friends
and neighbors, had accompanied tbe
remains to their last-resting place in
the country churchyard, and she bad
returned home tiled, weary and heart-sick.
Sbe had/lot realised bar loss to
the full extent until returning to the
lonely house aud vl Itlng the room he
had occupied, where sbe wont to run
atter a shopping expedition to greet
him ard display her uurchases, sbe
missed bis familiar face, and then she
knew that she had indeed lost ber
dearest friend.
She had no time, however, to brood
over ber sorrow, for she bad yet to
prepare for the arrival of the new ow-ner
ot Oakwor«d. Her proud spirit re-lu'lied
against a servitude which was
tirjust, for she knew she was the
proper mistress of Oakwood, tbe home
she loved better than all else, since
her father was gone.
Having superintended the prepara-tions
for tbe new arrivals, she retired
lo her room, not to sleep, but to think
with dread of the sorrow,
« « • « •
Oak wood's new master had duly
taken possession of It. Each succeed-ing
day seemed to bring to Evelyn
new trials, and insults of tbe grossest
nature were constantly being heaped
upon ber. Sbe was compelled to per-form
tbe most menial services for
three ignorant, coarse women, until
indeed ber life was a burden to her.
Of a refined, gentle nature herself,two
months of this life bad left the r mark
upon ber.
After a day of unusually bitter ex-perience
and hard, thankless work,
she went out and seated heiself nnder
t e tree tbat bad tanped Incessantly
on the window tbe night after her
lather died. This had become her
favorite haunt at eventide after her
days' work as it had been ber father's
before her.
She reviewed the past month In her
ini ■ t <1 ; how the man that bad ■ een
more than a father to ber had said
with bis dying breath tbat it was his
desire that she would always stay at
the farmbo se ; the arrival of ber
people she bated at ber beloved Oak-wood
; their cruel, heartless treat-ment
to her ; ber life of toil and hard-ship.
Hue resolved to leave them, de-
Spite her promise to the co :trary.
"Poor papa," sbe murmured, "you
did not think I would be treated this
way or you woul.l not have asked me
lo stay."
So engrossed was she with her
thoughts tbat she had not noticed the
gathering clouds aud brewing storm
until the leaves came spattering dowu
between the leaves of the huge tree,
and the rumbling of distant thunder
warned ber that she had better return
to the house. She had scarcely paes-ed
from under the tree before a flash
of llghniug rent It, and sbe saw tbe
tree that had stood for centuries a
broken heap. While sbe stood there
lo ber amazement, a white paper flut-tered
to ber feet. Picking it up and
examining it as closely as possible In
tbe faillug light, sbe read, "Last Will
and Testament of John Hazelton 1"
Her heart seemed to almost stop beat-ing.
Sbe was startled by tbe rasping
voice of ber mis' ressasking her "what
sbe meant standing there wasting her
time wheu tbe young ladies were
wailing to have their hair prepared
for the night."
Hastily conceallug tbe paper, her
heart beating high with hope, sbe en-tered
the bouse and went immediately
to tbe room wbere tbey were waiting
for her to perform the nieuial task of
brushing their Imir. Never did the
time seem so long to her, nor never
did they seem lo want more done
than on that night. No sooner hud
she assisted them Into their dressing-gowus
aud put on their slippers, limn
sbe donned her doak aud hor-d, and
went with flying steps to the village
tosee Mr. Markluy, the lawyer, who
had served her father for several
years. She arrived there out of breath
just as be was at.odt to leave.
"Oh, sir, just one moment, please,"
she manage.) lo say breathlessly, "I
haye something ntgtv.it importance to
show you. I could not sleep unli! y u
had seen it."
"Why, Misi Kvelyu is it you ?
Come in, my ehild ; you should uot be
out alone at ibis lime of the night."
Re-entering bis office, lighting the
luuin aud seeing her comfortably seat-ed,
he opened, the paper, aud after
glauoing at it n momeul, said :
"I am indeed thankful, my child.
You are at last to lie righted. This is
a will I drew up for my client long be-fore
bis illness. I have often wonder-ed
as to its whereabouts, but could do
nothiug to prove its existence. But
where did you li ml it ?" be asked in a
puzzled way.
Sbe told bim all tbe story or tbe
broken tree.
"I think I understand," he resumed
"He had long feared this stepbroth-er's
stealing it, and would not trust It
out of his own hands, and did, no
doubt, put It there for safe keeping,
aud by Providence It has been giving
to its rightful owner. It bequeaths
everything to 'my beloved daughter
Evelyn, with tbe exception of a few
hundred dollars to his brother. I will
take steps the first thing iu the morn-ing
to h-ve the rightful owner install-ed,
and permit me to say it will be a
ehaimlng one. And now, with your
permission, I will drive you home In
my gig."
He was only too glad of the oppor-tunity
to do so, for, although several
years her senior he had long secretly
loved her, but he was \*a ting to gain
a name iu his profession.
Evelyn slipped into the house un-noticed,
and she lay awake long that
night wondering how the women who
had no pity for her would feel when
they knew tbey were no longer to
reign there. At first she felt only re-sentment
and triumph, but her better
nature asserted itself and sbe resolved
that they should not he wholly de-prived
of their present comfort.
With the first grey dawn of morn-ing
sbe was up and went through ber
usual routine of duties us though
nothing had happened.
About nine o'clock she was sum-moned
to the parlor, where were
seated Mr. and Mr*. Hazetton, two
daughters and two gentlemen In the
legal profession besides Mr. Mark ley.
At first there was only rage ilieplet-ed
on the faces of the four people who
were so soon lo have nil taken from
them, but when Evelyn In a gentle
way told them that she would divide
her property wilh Ihem, their rage
turned to shame, and each humbly
asked her f rglventss.
Evelyn bus consented to become
Mrs Mark ley as soon as she ha» laid
her mourning garments aside.

part in "Michael Strogoff," at Oak-land,

Have ynu aeen it-. "Ifn beautllul,"
-niil a lady to u«. "How did you get
it uii ?" ; lie naked. "Muob the name
us OOOKIDS a flab," we auBwereil.
'•First catcb your fish ; and so bere,
iir.-i get tiie carpets, and this is tbe
main part, itll tin rest being easy
enough."
But to gather together such a stock
of Carpets, Rugs and Curtains as we
have shown requires much time, care-ful
nlit'tii inn and deep study. It's uot
the buying of a certain amount of
goods ; tli is Is tbe smallest part.
Mouths and months ago we began vis-iting
tbe mills iu various parts of tbe
country,learning the general character
of the deaigns likely to be adopted for
this fall, givitiL' order* here and there
as we found the desired styles; writing
and answering letters, meeting sales-men
from abroad, talking carpets by
the week, still giving careful orders as
style aud price met our views, until
we bad gathered together a line of
goods that for style, <(tiality aud price
had been heretofore unthought of for
tbe Norristowu market.
From this stuck it lim beeu little
trouble to dress tbat window. Have
you seen it ?
We have tbe cheapest and best rag
Carpets.
We have Ingrains at any prloe.
We have hundreds of styles of Tap-estry
Brussels.
We have Norrlstown Body Brussels.
We have Palmer Body Brussels.
We have the Biglow Body Brussels.
We have any style of 8tair Carpet.
We have over 100 styles of Oil Cloth.
Wt have every grade of Linoleums.
