This little girl'a name was Goody bo call- ed because ehe was always kind and obedi- ent. Now Goody lived in a tumble down old house whicn was hardly any protection, eqpecially, in cold or stormy Weather. ^A}thon;;h fihe was so badly off for shelter he fared still worse for food. SoEOBtimea, the neighbors would give her Bomeibisg for her and her mother but, as they were poor also, they could nos ^ive them much. The catise of all this little girl's misery^ was her fatner, who was a miser. Although, Goody's father lived in such poveity, he was a very rich man for be had chest upon chest of gold and silver concealed in the cellar where he retired every night to count it. Sevaial limes the little girl had earned a few peinies with whitb she intended to buy food for her and her mother but her father had always found ii out, asd taki:in the money from hor to add to his [stora in the oellar. Although the little girl was so badJy treated, *h8 w:-.a always cheerful snd tried her beat to mako ter mother (â- vhoni she loved veiy dearlj) more comfortable. IJattera kept tting worse and worse, whenosB Hny a litile old m2.n srepped up to ' the door.

"Whftt makes you look so glum, little gtrl" he asked after he had huished the jnat. " Mother is very sick, and there is noth- ing fer her to eat," said Goody. Tha4 is too bad, answered the lltt'eman how is it that your futher ir so pooi?' " Oh, father is not poor, for ne has haaps npoa heaps of geld and silvsr in the cel'iir; bu^. don't tell anyone,' said Goody. "2b your father very fond of money V in quiritd the littio mau. " Yes he likes it better then anybody or aayihiag;" repli»!d the little girl. •' Well, 'ea'd the lititle mau, 'ten him. tha£ 3 left this half dollar piece for him " so rajing, he vanished. WUsB Goody had recovered from her astoBlahment; ai:e called her father to come and geii the money. As u.sm as her fat'oer saw the bright sil- ver pi»co, he made a smatch at it but it rolled off the} able on to the floor and across the floor, and out of tho door wnere her fa- theriaabed out to get it, before any of the seishWrs saw it. 6a^ as soon as he stooped down to pick it op it commenced to roll and it went on rolling and rolling, and Goody's father kept on raanng after it until both wore outi of flight. Maay days passed, and still little Goody's fathtr did not return. And as the days grew into wseks and the weeks lengthened into mtnths and still he did not come back the nsigbbors advised Goody to use the money lying is the cellar wbioh she did. As the cellar was nearly fills-i wih chests of gold and islver both Goody and her mother be- came -very rich and lived in peace and pleety all the rest of their lives. T^s iittle old man who brought so much faappkisss to little Goody aid her mother, was a fairy who having heard about Goody and her troubles, resolved to help her. Tfa* piece of money was bewitched, and iroald sot allow a mortal to touch it. More- over, itDossessed the power of making any- one, when the little old man wished, follow it v]be?sver it went.

She was about the medium height, and rather slight, but the natural comeliness of her form was concealed in a sort of j acket made of untanned sheep skins, wfaicti she wore over a dress of Eomo dark material. Her head was covered by a jiunty libtlo tox skin cap, while her feet were encased iu coarse leather moccasins. Notwithstanding her uncouth exterior, there was an air of culture and refinement â€" a certain indescribable something about her walk and manner â€" which spoke of better days and showed she was not in har- mony with hsr attire. A gentleaan and his wife chanced to be in the room at ths time, end to them the stranger told this pitiful storyâ€" a tale o full of rare dramatic incidents as to read almost like a romance. Her name, she said, was Margaret Con ner, and her homo was at B7;ckford, 111., where she had lived from childhood. Har father was dead and she had for several years supported her mother, her little bro ther, and Herself by teaching in the public Echdols. About a year ago HER MOTUEB DIED, and Miaa Conner and her brother, Willie, who was now a lad of 16, finding themselves alone in the world, sold their iittle home- stead, and with their worldly effects emigrat- ed -to Dihkota, with a view to taking up a timber claim and going farming. They settled on Turtle Creek, in Spink county, about twenty miles south of Rsdfield. Going into a new country, and being ignorant of its ways, they found it necessary to buy many thinga, the need of which they had not anticipated, and they aaw with alarm their little sto^k of money dwindling rapid y away under these repeated drains. Tbe neighbors were kind, iu their rcugc way, and lent willing hands to give the young people a start. A warm sod house for themselves, nd cutbousea for the stock were built, the requisite number of trees were planted, the scuhborn prairie broken, and the spring sowing done. The story, at this point, is so full of startling incidents that it ia beet told iu Miss Conner's own words. "The crops,' said she, "aa every ore kaowb. on account o^ the prolonged droughts in the S3uth and West, were a total f liluie, and all that we had to ubow for our hard aammer's work was a few bushels of wheat and corn, hardly enough to furnish ua food for the %iuter. 'Well, tho fall dragged on into win cer, and Christmas the season of glad tidirgs and good cheer, found us reduced to cur last bushel of grain. What we should do when that vra gone was a problem beyond oar power to solve. Oh, THE GLOOM AND TERBOE of those long winter nights, without fuel aud v/ithcut Ifgho For hours atd hours we would lay, huddled in each other's arms, listenibg to tiie howling of the woivea and the shrieks cf the tempest as it whirled abcu: cur cabin door. "About this time," she continued, her voice choking withascb, "poor Willie took sick and died, and then it ae^med as if my cup of Bortow was full to the brim, and-1 thought for a time I should go mad, from the very horror of my situation. There I was, alone with my dead brother, in the midst of a desolate Dakota prairie, without the 'oarest necessities of life and not a friend at neighbor within ten miles. I clearly aaw that I cculi no longer remain where I was, for to do BO was to perish, and my only hope was to get to Kedfiald, and their by interest- ing the railroad cihoiala in my story obtain transportation to my friends in Illinois. Slowly and sadly I dug a hole in the hard srouud of cur cabin floor and laid poor Willie away, and after kissing his sweet pale face mauy times I covered the body with the cold frosty e-*rth and left him. ' Then, collecting a few things in a little hand hag, I bade a long farewell to the home which had been the Fcene of so much sorrow, and started on my journey for Rsd- field, in the face of A HOWLING BLIZZARD. The wind blew against me and buffeted me so tuat I could hardly walk the snow beat with blinding force into my eyec and eart so that often 1 could not see the road at all, " Nevertheless, I headed on, now plung- ing through snow drifts up to my waist, now falling, bruised and bleedinff, on the nlippery road, till about midnight I reached Rnd field at last, more dead than alive, and told my atory to the sta-.t^n agent and beggea uim to give me a pass to R30kford. He gave me enough to carry me to Sioux City, which place I reached laat Friday. 'i now became desperate; 1 waa in a strange city at night, without money and without friends. While I waa wondering what I had better do, I noticed a heavily- loaded freight train joat pulling ont of the depot for Omaha, and. hum^ry and cold aa I was, I rpvjffig into an empty box car and huddled down into a comer. The terror of that night 1 shall never forget, if 1 should live a hundred years. The dreary darkness, the monotonous hum of the car wheels, the bellowing of the stock, and the biting cold, all combined to make mi suprejaely miser- able. To increase my terror, the car next to mine was occupied by a number of tramps, who made nighc hideous by their oaths and foul t ilk, snd I trembled to think what would b;ive been my fate had they found out my hiding placa. ' ' vVhen the cars stopped at a little station above Omaha to wait for the aiaenger train I could bear it no longer, and getting out from my place of concealment I ran into the depot, where I met the condncior of the train and he brought me to Omah%. Such was Miaa Conner'a atory, whioh waa interrupted many timea by aoba and weep- ing. Mr. Harzia, a gentleman who was in the waiting room, waa deeply intereated in the ^rl, and anooeeded, through nla inflaenoe with the railroad men, in getting her a pau to her Eutera home. TflE TIDE AT MINA8 BASIS. M, WaU of ffnier EUht Feet Hltk BubIbk Ten Alles an Hear. The Bay of Pnndy forma a cnl-de-aao at which the Atlantic Ocean aeema to have taken a spite, and at regular intervale ponra in ita waters viciously and with intent to -io ail possible harm. Take for inatance the tiarbor of St. John. In most parte of the world a tide of from 6 to 10 feet la quite scffisient to aatitfy all reasonable demanda. In St. John harbar the tide rises 21 feet on an ordinary day, and occasionally varlea Che monotony by pushing the mark up three or four het, as the humor sefzsa it, and I was never struck so much with anything in my life as with this advance and reosdingof the waters. There ia a narrow eorge through which thn St. John River is forced into the Bay of Fandy. At low, tide, where the water drops into the bay, there ia a fall of some ten feet, the channel beinjr very rough and totally impassable for vessels of any description. At high water the fall is the other way, the bay falling into the river. This was the first tim«» that I had ever teen a river with the water flowing from its source and this occurs every day in tiie S6. John. Ofle good effect of the tide is this, when it is half up or half down the river is level with the harbor, and then the immecsa number of timber barges and otl er craft, which have gathered in the river while waiting for the riae and fall, are able to run nicely and easily out into the harbor. Sii. John, be it understood, is a great port for shipping. At any day you can see a dtzan of the largest ooeac going vessels loading deals for different parts of the world. This timber mainly comes down the St. John River. I saw the tide come in around the head- land at the Minas Basin, and it is a sight worth going to see. The head of the advanc- ing tide Js called " a bore." If yon can imag- ine a straight wall of water eight feet high curling over at the top, advancing upon yon at the rate of ten miles per hour, you will get an idea of what a "bore" is and what a turn of the tide means. At the Minas Bisin this wall of water comes tearing around the headland like an expres!) train, and the man who waa do«ru on the flit eands ol the bay at this time took a remarkably good cbanca of never leaving the saada alive. If he get a good start of ihe "hore" he might escape and if ho did not he was drowned. You can- not foci with tho tide of Minas Bishi. It is 'i\ piythm^ that the native who is ao- quii.inted with the animal avoids. The rise of oae tide at Mtnas Bistn is forty-five feet. At the exoreme head of tne Biy of Fundy the tide ;isis from sixty -live to seventy five feet, and ruus at tho rate of fifteen miles an hour. This is not suly the highest tide in the known world, but it is doub'e the height, 1 am told, o! any other known tide. The uirl Who Hints. NatorUy ycu didn't ask him and yon would be very indignant indeed if anybody suggested that y«u had forced the poor fellow into bringing you the flowers, candy or in taking you to the concert. No, you didn't ask him, but ycu couldn't have been any clearer about it than you were when you looked into his eyes in ycur moat beseeching way and told him how anxious yon were to hear the great violinist; how sweet you thought violets and how you did wish for a pound of chscolate. He didn't want to get any of these, he hadn't the money to spend for them; he doesn't get a very large salary, he is tryiug to keep himself out of debt and yet because he is generous and can't resist a pretty girl you have forced him into a dia- houest poaition. That's it in plain English. When the end of the week comsa and he ia $10 short in his money a little bit os his board bill must wait, his laundress cannot be attended to and the mosey that should go home must be apologized for. This is the first step toward not doing his duty, and ycu have made him take it. The Canadian man is generous and when he has the money he will invite you himaelf with- out your auggesiing to him what yon like, or what you think he ought to do. Bssides the harm yoc do to him yen are making yourself vulgarâ€" he has a perfect right to go away and say tha'j he doaen't want to visit at your house aiiy more, because yon hint and hint until he has to take yon to some place of amusement, or make' you presents and that for his part he cannot afford it. Continue as you are doing and after a while you will get the reputation among men of being an undesirable girl to know, and certainly no man who has heard of your reputation to "get things out of an' will want to ask you to he his wife. Better stay at home forever than go self- invited, better never taste candy than eat that obtained at the high coat of aelf -reapect, better never smell a violet or a rose than to forget, in your search for them, that it b the modesty of the violet and the dignity of theVoae that makes them pre-eminent amonr flowers.

Fruits are the natural correccive for dis- ordered digestion, but tbe way in which many peraoas eat them converts them into a carsb rather than a blessing. Instead of being taken on an empty sromach or in combination with simple grain prep3.ration5, as bread, they ar,e eaten with oily foods, with meat aud vfigetabie?, pangenn season- ingaor othtr unwholatome condiments, or they ar t jiken u{ the end of tho meal, after the stou'i :h ia already full, and perhap. th)who' uass of f ood washed down wit a ta V ccfiee r other Ifquid or 'hey arc -eaten at all hours of the day or late at cighr, with ics cream, cake or other rich desserts. Fruita to do their best work should be eaten on a a empty stomach or with bread â€" never with vegetables. In the morning, before the fast of the night has been broken they are not only exceedingly refreshing, but theysarve as a natural stimulus to the digestive organs. And to produce their fullest, finest effect they should be ripe, Eound and every way of good qual- ify moreover they should be eaten raw. What is better than a bunch cf lus- cious grapes or a plate of berries or cherries on a summer morning tho ti'st thing en tittingdown to brer.kfast Or a fine rips apple, rich and juicy, eaten iu the aame wayl In our climate, apples should constitute, not the finishing but the beginning of the nieal, particularly the breakfaat, for at least six months in the year, and fruits, raw or cocked, should make a part of the morning and evening meal during the entire ye»r. The good tffeots that would follow the abcindaat use of fruits are often more than counterbalanced by the pernicious habit of completely saturating them with sugar. Very few fruits, if thoroughly ripe, and at their best, require any sugar, particularly if eaten in the raw state. "8 to ihsJ^hii WHAT TBEi^K^^ TI058!
