SWEET PEAS.~

Once within my garden wall,
From their daily flight,

Rested a flock of butterflies.
All in pink and white.

Why they chose my garden plot .
I shall never know——
But people call them now sweet peas
" And really think they grow.

A GIRL’S DIARY.

 

 

It was raining dismally, and Istood watch-
ing the drops fall wildly down, splashing
against the window as they came. A de-
spondent face I had, as I stood there think-
ing. Oh, the tiresome, dreary day! Oh, for
something to pass away the time! I turned
and went out of the library and up the broad
staircase. We lived in an old house on the
outskirts of the city. This old place had been
in possession of the family for over a century
now. A weather beaten old rookery it was,
but withal the most delightful place to live
in, with its broad halls, great winding stair-
case, and a perfect wonder of a garret ex-
tending the whole length of the house.

It was a wonder in more ways than one.
Old presses and old trunks were stowed away
against the walls, full of relics and fineries of
the departed Huntingdons. Old books and
manuscripts were piled on queer Old chairs
and tables, and all sorts of odd, interesting
things were to be found there.

Toward this place I wended my way that
rainy morning. Surely, thought I, in the
garret I shall find something to amuse me; it
has never failed me yet.

Up I went till I came to the door. I stood
on the threshold a moment. Such a ghostly
old place it seemed, with its shadowy cor-
ners, and the wild rain without knocking at
the windows!

For a second I stood there, half afraid to
enter, then, with a laugh at my foolishness,
walked boldly in.

I poked around among the old chests for
a while, and presently dragged forth triumph-
antly to the light a little escritoire. Such a
pretty one it was, all inlaid with mother of

pearl, with an ebony lid. The legs were'

slender and spindling, and in the key hole
was a tiny, worn, golden key, a faded blue
ribbon hanging from it. I turned the key
excitedly. It moved just a little hard, as if
not liking to disclose the secrets within.

The lid opened and showed numerous little

cubby holes and drawers which were locked, .

but which I found would open with the same
key. By the side of a tiny inkstand lay a
dainty penholder with the initials “D. H.
H.” cut in it.

I took the key and eagerly opened the first
drawer. A book with a golden clasp and the
same initials on the cover lay therein. ]
opened it excitedly—I think without feeling
that I might be doing wrong.

My eyes fell on the first page, on which
was written, in a man’s hand: “To my little
daughter." And then, underneath it, in a
delicate, childish hand, in faded ink, the
words: “The private thoughts and reminis-
cences of Dorothy Helen Huntingdon,” and
below, the date:

Dec. 25, 1730.-—Wednesday. I have wanted
adiary ever so long in my thoughts, but I
did not tell father till he did say to me yes-
terday: “I’Vell, clear, what will you have on
Christmas day?”

“A diary, father, please,” said I (only I
said dairy. I think I rather get it mixed up
with butter and eggs and cheese).

And father did laugh so, a'nd say: “What!
my little girl turn dairymaid?”

“Nay, dear father, a book I mean,” and 1
did feel so foolish at my making such mis-
takes—a girl of twelve years—on Christmas
day. I turned my face away, well nigh cry‘
in

“Why, what’s this?” said father, and he
raisedmy head. “I will bring thee twenty
books, but cry not, dear l”

“Nay, father, it is not that, but because I
do make such foolish mistakes.” And father,
quite gravely, with all the laughter gone
from his face, took my hand in his and did
say to me that this was nothing, only natural
that I should make some little mistakes; but
it was the great mistakes that we must all
guard against and pray against.

So this morning I found my diary on my
I pillow when I woke, and father had put
I within it, “To my little daughter,” and be
; neath it I wrote, as you see above, “The Pri-
1 vate Thoughts and Reminiscences of Dorothy
Helrn Huntingdon.” And I will write in it
every day till next Christin as if I be spared.

Dec. 26, 17 ESQ—Thursday. I have been
greatly angered this day and very wicked.
Madame did say to me this morning: “Tell
me, ma chere, in French, that I am beauti-
ful!” But it did seem to me very queer, for
madame (though I mean nothing unseemly,
but quite the truth) is not beautiful. She is
quite yellow, tall and thin, and with a hooked
nose. So I did say nothing but— Ah!
when I think of it now I blush for shame at
my wickedness-but I laughed. And mad-
ame did rise up with a most awful look and
swept from the room.
blood rising to my face, and my heart seemed
like to choke Inc, and I did leave my chair
and go to father‘s room.

But the door was closed, and it did seem to
me that everything would now be closed
against wicked me. Then I did sit me down
outside the door and put my head into my
lap so that I would not disturb father writ-
ing within. But soon it did seem I could not
keep my heart down longer. it choked me so,

found me.
And father brought me in, and I did tell
him all, and nothing said he but, “Little
aughter, this is one of the small mistakes
hat sometimes cause great sorrows.” And
e did smooth my hair and take me to ma-
ame to ask for pardon, which most gracious-
, y she granted. And I now put this down so
hat I may never, never forget that the small
I istakes do sometimes make great sorrows.
Dec. 27, 1730.-—Friday. Father took me to
l he stables today, and there showed me o
.ost b lutiful pony, black as night, and with
I soft ‘n mane and tail. And fa did
-at me On her and say: “I bought this 1‘ a
v iend of mine, a little girl.” I think I am
' ost wicked, over angry and jealous. And
l did feel so envious, for I did want the pony
. much myself, and nothing did I say but,
‘ I am very glad for the little girl; I hope she
’I‘ lay like it.”
At that father did laugh outright and say:
be little maid isnot far away; mayhap
.- .u know her?” '
And then of a sudden it did flash across
e that the little girl was my very self, and
l 'd speak out quite boldly and say: “Oh,
, is it mine?” ,
And father laughingly did say: “Yes, lit-
: riend, it is a late Christmas gift and an
y New Year one. What will you call
_ ?”
“Gypsy, dear father,” said I; and I was so
. n that I knew not what to do.
: u I did think me what could I give father
return, and I did go to the kitchen and
_ cook if she would kindly allow me to
l : a. pie for father. ,

took . a. lessee . in riding. and Intel-gig

 

_when. growing frightened and trying to rise,

Then I did feel the ,

and father. hearing a sound, came out and

 

make me a present of a. beautiful gold han-
dled whip that did belong to my mother.

Dec. 2-8, 1730.—-Saturday. I rode forth
upon my dear Gypsy this morning with fa-
ther. It was beautiful. My Cousin Patience
comes this day. I am very glad, for Patience
is my favorite cousin.

Father did tell me that her mother was my
dear mother’s sister. Patience has hair that
shines gold like in the sun and her eyes are
blue as speedwells.

She hath some years more than I, being
20. She doth ride like the wind on a milk
white steed, and she bath a most beautiful
habit of green velvet, trimmed with silver
lace.

“But you will not have Patience long. may-
haps,” said father. “I think some one is go-
ing to take her away.”

“Nay, dear father,” said I; for it grieved
me sorely to think any one should come and
take my dear Patience away. “It cannot be
true.”

But father did laugh teasingly, and did
go off and leave me quite miserable to think
that after all it might be true.

Dec. 29, 1730. —— Sunday. Patience has
come! I was standing on the staircase last
evening when I heard the coach wheels, and
in a moment there was my dear at the door,
looking so beautiful!

But with her was a gentleman, so tall and
straight, but with such a handsome face, and
eyes all a laughing, that somehow I was nota
bit afraid till it came to me that he might be
the one who would take my Patience from
me. Then i did go up to him right boldly,
and when he did take my hand, said, “Are
you to take my Patience away?”

And he did laugh and say, “If thy Patience
wilt but come with me.”

And she, with a most beautiful red all
over her face, did take me in her arms and
kiss me. -

But I feel much better about it now, for Pa-
tience did tell me she would often come and
see me.

We went to church this day. I wore my
new pelisse trimmed with fur that Cousin Pa-
tience brought me. I greatly fear I did think
more of that than of the sermon; but I am
truly penitent, and wore my oldest pelisse af-
terward to mortify my vanity.

Dec. 30, 1730.—Monday. I have told my
dear about the diary and shown it to her.
Not the inside yet, but I did say to her,
“When I am with my mother, then, Patience,
you must have my book and read it.” And
Patience smiled, and her eyes seemed so
bright and sparkling that methought there
were tears in them, and she said, “Sweet-
heart, I thank thee; but myflie time be far
away.”

Last night I did dream of my mother. Me-
thought I saw her ,holdinmt her arms to
me, with a smile, _ theiright angels round
about her were .Ilso, and I drought)
did starttogoto her,but hearing acry,l
turned back and saw my father weeping, his
face upon his hands, and I woke.

IhavebeguntorldowithmyPatienceand
the captain. Father comes also at times.
The captain is part0! his name—he who came
to take Patience. We have flue timesand it
doth seem I like him every da the more.

Butthegrcatsecretis,“ tellittoyou,
for you will never say ought about it, my
dear is to be taken away, married, on New
Year's day, Margery says.

That is why Patience came here, and 1
never knew it until last night, and she told
me.

Father wished it so, and everything is in
be so beautiful. I did see the lace, the veil,
Patience is to wear upon her head, and it is
to float downward o’er her dress.

Margery did tell me people always give
presents to those who are to bemarried. And
I did think me what I could give to my dear.
So I told father, and he asked me if I had
thought of anything.1 Then I showed him a
little ring that he ad given me, that was
my mother’s—a beautiful gold ring with a
circlet of pearls.

And father did say to me: "My dear, wilt
thou part with that?” and his face looked
stern and sad. Then I did put my arms round
his neck and say: “To none other but‘ my
Patience, for she will love it well, and I give
it as the best I have.” And father did kiss
me and say, as though speaking to himself:
“Thy mother‘s self, thy mother’s self.”

And Patience coming into the room, I
placed the ring upon her finger.

Jan. 1, HEEL—Wednesday. I never, never
thought it would happen. I feel much
stronger now, and will tell all about it.

It was yesterday; my dear and the captain
and I did go out riding. We rode along right
gayly for a time (Margery is saying not to
write more, but I say to her that I must tell
you all), and then somehow Gypsy did slip
and fall and threw me on the ground, and

methinks she hurt me in the side. But she
did not mean it. I think I forgot everything
for a time, then, and only remembered my
dear’s white face and Gypsy putt-ing her
pretty head down, and then I must have?
gone to sleep. _

Then I did find myself upon my bed at
home, with my dear father sitting by me.
But his face was fallen upon his hands, so I
put out my hand softly, and it did almost
fall, so heavy it was, and laid it on his arm.

And father, quickly raising his head, did
cry out, “Dorothy!” And said I, “Father,
dear, it was not Gypsy’s fault”——for I did
think me they might blame my pretty Gypsy.

M y eyes were so blurred with tears that I
could scarcely see the faded, trembling writ— ;
ing. Once more they fell upon the yellow j
page where, underneath, was written:

“My little Dorothy! She died this morn— ;
ing. The sunshine of the new year falls softly i
in upon her as she lies asleep. Good-by! dear; ,
I have read the gentle story through, and so
I close the book.”

The rain that had been falling wildly, wept '
softly now. The branches Of the dead tree .
swept against the window, and my tears fell I
on the tender story of a young life, while the '
darkening shadows filled the room.——Annie

Roman Bride's Toilet.

The woman of Rome in did days were mar- ,
ried at nightfall. She was dressed in a white I
robe, a symbol of her virgin purity, bound
round her waist with a woolen sash; her hm'r
was plaited into six troupes, after those of the
Vestal virgins; on herhead e wore a flame
colored veil and a fresh wreat of the sacred
verbena, for the wife and priestess in her
family. Under the protection of J una Domi-
duca (the home leader) she through the I
streets accompanied by her friends, and light-
ed on her way with torches. By her side
there walked a young boy carrying an open
basket, in which lay a bank of wool, a distafii
and a spindle, for spinning was the great dut
of the Roman matron of. the republic. To
a good spinner-was a. gem inhercrown of
virtues, by the side of chastity and frugality.

The Voctlbulo an a Safety Device.

Closely related to the coupler is the vesti-
bule, which within the last few years has
become so fashionable. The vestibule is not
merely a luxury, but been. certain value as
a. safety device. The full measure of this
value has not yet been proved. Occasionally
lives are lost, by passengers falling from or
being blown from the platforms of moving
trains. Such accidents the vestibule will
prevent, and, further, it decreases the oscil-
lation of the cars, and thus to some degree
helps to prevent derailment. It is also sonic
protection against telescoping. A few months
ago a coal train on a double track road was
derailed, and four cars were thrown across
in front of a solid vestibule train of seven
Pullman cars approaching on the other
track. The engine of the vestibuled train
was completely wrecked. Even the sheet
iron jacket was stripped off from it. The
engineer and fireman were instantly killed,
but not another person on the train was in-
jured. They escaped, partly because the
cars were strong, and partly, doubtless, be-
cause the vestibules helped to keep the plat-
forms on ‘the same level and in line, and
thus to prevent crushing of the ends of the
cars—H. G. Front in Scribner.

Adultorution of Cofi‘ee.

So extensive is adulteration of coffee it is
not easy to obtain the pure article, even al-
The sub—
stances commonly used in adulteration are
chicory, roasted grains, peas or beans. The
principal element of roasted chicoryis sugar;
it is useful in coloring the decoction, but adds
nothing to its virtues. As for the other sub-
stances, although they may be harmless, con—
sidering their use from an economic point of
View, nothing is made in buying coffee which

ture be much under that demanded for the
This is evident when it is known
that not infrequently what passes for low
price coffee contains at least 60 per cent. adul—
teration. In buying coffee the pure is actu-
ally the cheapest. And in the matter of adul-
teration of this important article of food
there is a weighty consideration beyond that
of economy. The more good, pure coffee
there is obtainable the less will be the demand
for spirituous liquors, for even tho veriest
toper will often choose the former in prefer-

, once to the latter.——Ilostou Herald.

Mind Destroy-in}: Drugs.

An insanity specialist, in a recent conver—
sation as to the number of young men and
women at present in asylums from the use of
opium, morphine, cocaine and kindred nar—
cotics, stated that the subject had given him
more trouble than all other forms of insanity
combined. He said that zfinong his patients
were those whose minds had become unbal-
anced through drink, family afllictions, busi-
ness losses and from other causes; but the
worst cases were those whose minds were de—
stroyed through the use of narcotics. The
number of patients from this cause is rapidly
increasing, and there have been more men
and women committed duringT the past six
months suffering from demedtia occasioned
by drugs than there were fnom the same
0131.159 during the ten previous ymrs. It is
beyond question that narcotics are a more
prolific source of insanity than all other
causes combined—New York Telegram.

Making Haste Slowly.

A western girl, whose home was in a new
town where sidewalks were made when the.
town lots were staked out, and where banks,
electric cars and school houses all followed
within two or three years, made a vantion
visit to the old town of Plymouth.

She was delighted with the historical charm
of the place, and stood in silent admiration
béfore the small rock, now safely fenced in
and well guarded, on which the Pilgrims
landed.

“But how funny it seems not to have any
sidewalks in Plymouth I” she exclaimed, as
she walked up the street with one of the na-
tives of the town. '

“Oh well,” was the easy reply of the citi- .

zen of the town where people have been liv-
ing ever since that memorable winterof 1620;
“Oh well, we shall have sidewalks by and by.
We haven’t got round to it yet. ”—‘Youthb
Companion.
