THE WIDOW AND HER HOME.
A B.Or.Y OF THE TIMES.
BY JOSEPH B. BKOWM.
From the Little House Under the Hill.
In tbe Hpripg of 188 , at the lime
mv story begins, a P" * ' llt PloUi IDan
With bis family, consisting of a wife
and lour children -the eldest a boj, of
twelve years, and the youngest a little
girl of two suminers—moved from Ihe
oltv of P near the village of C •
It la one of those villages that is
■ltuated among the nigged mountains
in the Interior of the Htate of Pdiiti-
•ylyania.
The father bought a little farm, con-
•tatlnir of four acroe of tllable laud, in-cluding
a house and barn, just tho
kind of a place to make a poor man
feel himself at home upon, and BO it
will.
Can the buyer of »ucli a home pay for
it when he buv* the place. But that
was not the way that poor John D—
could do. He had bu* one hundred
dollars, so '. c was compelled to pay
that amouir '.own aud give a mort-gage
for (lie balance to Frank B—,
the man he bought the place from, tor
five hundred dollars.
80 this beautilul Hpring morning
fiuds John D— witb a family and foot
hundred dollars in debt. But what
waa that upon the broad nhouldern of
manly John. It was but small for a
man like him. He had hea'th and
plenty of strength ami might be help-ed
by the hand of look. But all IboM
things does not (klwiya ttiok by a man
nor did they bring to ooor John the
things he hoped for.
Well, Spring hid eome with plenty
of work for John aud his little family.
He is to lake the '.sad and to follow
after him those mild arms of trut'i
and love, which is always to bo fouud
in a true and loving wife, and that
was what John found In his wife
Mary.
She had been an orphau girl and
was raised by a good old Quaker, one
that believed too much kindness was
not good far poor children. It made
them lazy, and so Christmas did not
bring any presents for Mary ; but she
was not allowanced with hard work,
and that was why John thanked the
Quikwrfpr-him having a good wife.
Their\;Work bad now commenced,
John following laboring work; Frank,
the oldBsfboy, dr >pping corn and do-ing
other light work on the neighbor-ing
farms ; little Sallte carrying water
from the spring and Helping her
another in whatever way she could ;
the, two younger chlldieu playing in
_ sunshine beneath the grape arbor,
that shaded the door of that happy lit-tle
home beneath the arbor.
- John and Mary thought that in the
evening of their life their labor would
rest in peace, but time is wonderful,
and as it passes by it sometimes brlugs
with It many disappointments.
John and Mary could be seen setting
In the evening before their door after
the children were wrapped beneath
the clean white sheets In a nice soft
bed. One could hear him say "why
Mary, had we only taken this step
aooner and moved up here before;
now our reat is paying for us a home,
when In the city we Dald rent so long
ana we have nothing to show for it;
If we should be able to pay one hun-dred
dollars per year, in four years we
will have our place clear."
Poor John, little did he think that
he never was to see that happy time.
Spring and summer has come and
gone. John and Mary mtvde bay
while the sun shone. They I ad a
good garden and raised plenty ot pota-toes
and stored them away in the
cellar. Never before had they known
what it was to lav in for the winter.
The oldest children started to go to
ithe vHlage school. Out door work was
about alfdone, it was coming winter.
■Theenow had already commenced to
flail, but there was wood cutting going
.on on the side of the mountains near
John's house, and he would do that.
John cut wood, the children went
teacbool, his wife knitting and mend-ing,
setting dry clothes and warming
them tor John when he came IB from
the woods.
Thus things wvnt along nulll one
day a very heavy storm was raging
down the side of Ihe mountains. All
day the snow, clouds hovered over the
little village aiid'nearly every minute
it would bur*t and bury all
beneath. In the evening the enow
oeased falling and the wlud rose to a
fearful rage. Morning came with the
howling win 1 as fierce as ever.
The loving wife said "John dear,
don't go to the woods to-day," but
John could listen to nothing like that,
he was working lor a home, where he
could rest from toil In after years, and
BO he must go, and go he did.
The fire was buruiug bright on the
hearth, and the little ones were play-ing
with kitty on the rug. The noon
,tlma meal had been eaten , and every-thing
betokened happluess within,
aind it was a day never to be forgotten
toy that little family—no, never!
Marj went to the back window
where she could see far up the moun-tains.
A low moan Bnd shesank back
In a chair.
What did she see?
A flying tree, which had been
broken off by the wlrd. and Was de-scending
to crush Ihe rot f of their
ho"use? Oh, no, somethn'i: more sad-dening
than Hiat, was the cause of her
auddeu grief. A big, weaJi-r-he .en
woodman was carrying aometbiDg
which appeared to be a human being,
and such ii proved to be. Tho w il-man
was toiling under the heavy
weight Of kind-hearted John.
The cause can be related in a few
words. While cutting down a tree,
an ill wind had struck It, and, before
in- w*s able lo 1 seape, it had fal'en on
poor John.
They laid him on a bed tiatl sent for
a o lysician, hut to. no avail, for lie
di d that night; aud now that kind
and loving father and husband lies si-lent
in the village graveyard, never
■gain to bo welcomed home by loved
ones.
M»iy U»w finds herself in udlstrem-
1 situation; a family of children
a- d their home uot yet paid for, and
'only enough money to make one pay-ment
iu the Spring, and part of that
most be expended to bury the father
and husband.
Some ol the neighbors declared she
would never be able to pay off tb?
di b , while others sympathized with
her and ye' oooM do nothing.
But she kept her spirits up and
sintuil out to keep things in ship
shape, doing turns at washing and
1 lor >hlugs among the neighbers,
Frank weir, to work among the
fa mere, and thus secured enough to
make the first payment on their home,
ai d thus guaranteed their home for
ot e more year.
One day in the early part ot Spring,
there came to the village of C , a
tall, well-built gentleman. He seem-ed
to be bom for the business iu which
he waa engaged. There are some peo-ple
who know better what people
want than they do themselves.
He went to the cottage where John's
widow lived, and this part brings to
mind the quotation of scripture,
which says, "Turn not away strangers
fr. in thy door, lest ye turn away an
ai gel unawares."
He came to the widow in the form
of a pian who had an angel's duty to
pi 'form.
"Cast thy bread upon tbe waters,
and it will return to thee again."
1 it WHS the duty of the stranger, to
• r from the widows hand the
orumbs of bread, which after-wards
returned iu love's due right.
The. man done his good work so well
that furl her on In this story we will feel
that we should thank him, but for the
present he will have to remain a
straagM to us. He has left the village
of C , and may his good works fol-low
him The Winter ID which John
was killed has passed, and another
wluter is near at hand, but we fiud
the little family iu very good circum-stances,
and all well but Mary. The
loss of John, together with hard work
and the heavy weight of three hun-dred
dollars debt to carry, was not an
easy burden to be supporting by a
1 rw mi. But she proved a wor-thy
wife and one of the Lest of moth-ers
and we cannot reach all of this
world's happiness, nor does the stars
<7f good rortimo »i-«-y- ,■■■» mm "-
But she had her comfort in remem-brance
of the Scriptural quotation, in
which the Lord said : "I will be a
father !o the orphans and the widows;
I will never leave thee."
Mary was sick and looking care-worn
and it was plain to be seea that
she was sinking under her buiden,
but like a good woman aud a kind
mother with such bright prospects be-fore
her and the knowledge of when
her children would be grown up, she
would not give up. She was looking
for the Hme when she could rest urder
ber own fig tree. O, happy hope,
why should you be given to us aud
then be stolen from us again.
Winter has once more arrived with
Its long nights and dreary days, and
tbe little family is well prepared to
me. 1 i'. There was but little differ-ence
between this and the Winter
that John was living. So well did
they manage things that Ibe people
In tltat neighborhood, who loved to
talk a good deal, had been trying to
sum up why old bachelor Jim was
visiting the widow's house so much.
It was well known that James W—
was a wealthy man, and never beeta
married, but he was so mean and
dote that he never went to church,
aud all the people had set him down
as a money grabber. Every man's
doings have a purpose, aud so it was
tha: these visits which old Jim paid
to poor Mary's house, whether
it be for a good purpose or not, we
shall see further on. '
The time had come to make a pay-ment
of the debt and with It brought
Frank B-, who came to receive his
one hundred dollars, which was tbe
amount to he paid. He had been very
liberal with Mary and cnarged her no
interest on the money, and she could
not expect any more lrom him.
' Whose's wagon I* that which Is
standing in front of Mary's place?''
could be heard from two or three pair
of lips.
"Why," said one, "don't you know
who that Is ?" It is Dr. A-. I won-der
who Is slok ; perhaps one of the
children, "he said as the physiolau
enters the house.
Poor Mary islyiug on a btd ofsiok-uess,
never again to arise and move
around the happy home circle, among
the loviug chl'dreu and all she holds
dear.
The angel of death is already on the
threshold and summons pcor Mary 10
tbst home to which Johu had gone
before.
The doctor shook hi* head dubious-ly
as he said, "I can do nothing," to
those who were standing near.
Among those present was no other
than eld bachelor Jim, and the
doctor and Jim held a con-sultation,
after which they both 1 it
the house together,
James W—visited the sick woman
that ni.lit and and along talk with
her, and the next day he returned ac-companied
by a justice or ihe neaoe to
prepare her will.
Mary took If vdry bard when she
knew that she could not gel well
IgalD, and it was hard to think of
leaving her children, and tbe place,
and those children that she struggled
so haul in life to keep, was now by
di illi to be separated, but in health
she wnrjM I"' called away from her
children, but no, she had all
things prepiied so nleeiy that death
had no sting for her, and the grave
did not appear to be such a gloomy
place to her.
Day by day the mother grew worse,
aid tltelitileoies didn't feel the heavy
weight of sorrow that was haiigit g
(ivi 1 their little home, which was once
made happy by a father's presence and
a mother's love, and was now so soon
to be borsted and cover them in the
greatest of sorrow.
It was a bright aud clear morning,
one we o'ten see at the c'ose ofautumn,
and the sun bad just unvailed her
face, ai d tie goldeo rnys were streak-ing
their waj through the rents of tbe
soft si v r clouds just 1 pened by the
passing wind ; Ibe waters of the moun-tain
brook caught the notes of the
meadow lark, and formed Into tune
while wondering over the moss-cover-ed
r<cks. It wae that morning that
the ptisserbj could see a long piece cf
cri'-pe with a white bow ou It,banging
to the door of poor John and Mary's
house. There, a little over two years
before, John and Mary D. had cast
their little portion with so many
bright prospects, and to-Jay he sleeps
In the little graveyard on the side of
hill, and In a few days the dear wife
who shared with him, his sorrows or
Joys so many'years, will be lying be-side
him In tbe cold ana silent grave
Yes, poor Mary bad paid the debt we
all must pay, and now she lays beside
him she loved so dear in life, and the
children are left fat! erless and moth-cil>
--, while a two hundred dollar
debt rerualus upon their home. To sell
the roof from over their heads, to be
separated will be very hard for them
but the debt must be paid.
There is a stranger just s.epped off a
stage iii the village of C . I wonder
who he i„? In the city of P there
was a voice heard saying, "go, release
them and let them go" That Voice
came from tbe ifflre of the Metropol-itan
Life Insurance Company,aud tbe
stranger we s?en get off the stage, was
no other than the tall, well-built man,
who, a little under two years ago,
went to poor Mary's house as an agent
of that Company, and, ou that-day be
Insured her Hie, through the advice of
James W , for three hundred dol-lars,
and he was on his way to pay to
the children's guardian, James W ,
who received the money and paid off
tbe debt on the children's house, and
thus saved their home.

It undertook the land to wreck
And it did its flag unfold.
But Sumpter'B walls were hardly down,
Before the echo flew
Into the homes in loyal States,
And trave ones donned the Bins.
From every walk of busy life,
stepped lover, brother, son,
And husband too, with parent pride,
To save onr land and home.
With firm resolve we sallied forth
To strike rebellion down;
Thon came again to home and friends
Bedecked with viotor's crowns.
For four long years the struggle raged,
Between the Bine and Gray;
But Heaven smiled, the right prevailed,
The Onion gained the day.
To homes we came from camp and Held,
With heavy hearts and light,
But Joy was lull throughout the land
As wrong gave place to right;
Bat Joy prevailed throughout the land
When peace supplanted fight.
And now we meet in evening time.
To talk of battles past;
That young and old to-day may learn
How much oar blessings cost.
It cheers our hearts, as years roll by,
To light old tiros again,
And gather round the blazing HghU
And talk of comrades slain;
To gather round the blazing light*
And talk of true brave men.
Long live the Union soldier boy,
To talk of march mil strife;
As we'll relate the sonny times
With dark of soldier life;
80 come my comrades, one and all,
Balls to this camp-fire bring;
Come with the best you have in store,
And talk, and laugh, and sing.

call your attention to
our $6 spring mattress, #5.50
cash. It is'the cheapest and
best spring for the money in
the market.
Also, our walnut lounge,
carpet covered, round end, for
only, $8.00 or $7.25 cash.
Marble top tables at $6.00
or $5 -5° cash. We have a
few more of those ileese-lined
stockenette coats that we will
close out at $4.00 We again
assert that our 25-ct. Ingrain
carpet cannot be beat in Phil-adelphia
for the price. Our 60-
cent Ingrain has never been
sold for less than 70 cts. in the
borough.
We do not claim to have the
largest store in town, but we
do claim to be able to sell the
same goods at less profit than
some of our more pretentious
neighbors, which we think
more to the interest of pur
chasers.
We also have a large stock
of other goods—suitable for
house-keeping, etc., but we
have not enough space to de-scribe
them. Call at our store
and we will be pleased to show
you our stock.
