Grandmother's Bedfellow.
BY MRS. S. M. WALSH.
Come, now. I've just thought
of a story true, every word ol it I
"just as true as preaching," as
tou children sav: and I'm sure
that's the kind of a story good
children'love best.
I do wish we could just sit
around a good, roaring wood-fire,
in the open fire-place, instead of
being gathered around this little
onen-work .'hole in the floor."
then there'would,be some relish
to the talk' about;tlie;times when
your great-grandmother was
young.
Yesrshe was ayounggirLabout
as old, as Jessie, I guess, when
oneUime she went.tojspend the
nightwith a friend about her own

they:evenTdiscussed-the fashions,
and consulted each other about
the style of the next "petticoat

but doubtless a good, stout wool-

Whistled and moaned abound the

how dismal it must have graded
through the fops of the great for-

lonely log heuse;and even if they

But they were no sooner set-
tied comfortabl v in bed than both
were startled by a rattle, rattle,
ratUe,that chi!led their voung
blood, and made their hearts
stand stUl with terror.
"0 bark! What's that?" whis-
pered one to another, as they
hugged each other closer, and
snooK with cold Inght.
Then they lifted their heads
from the pillow and listened in
tently, and it came again rattle

scarcely have frghtened them,for
a wen-aimea stone or two has
been the death of many a rattle-
sa&ke.
But1 now, where was he? They
could not step out of bed lest
mey snouia put a oare toot r.gnt
on me noma reptile. So all
tney could do was to lie still as
ihg; and, sure, never was morn-

At last, when it seemed they
could endure it no longer, day

the-little curtained window, and
anxiously surveying thefloor,and
making sure.beyond a doubt,that
his snakship was not there, how
joyiuiiy iney sprang irom the
bed and stretched their cramped
lhs!
starting up the fire and hurrv-
ing on their clothes was the work
of but fewminutes, and then be-
gan the, search for the enemy of
tneir peace. Cautiously stripping
uu me oeu-ciouies, one covering
alter another .right under the last
quilt, next the sheet, layMr.Rat-

ness, with his venomous head
peering out from the midst of
his horrid", coiled-up body; and if

So this was grandmother's bed

would you have liked it?

A Good and Cheap Dinner.
There are a good many recipes
n i .
given lor cases, Bies, nuddinss
and the like; I would like to tell
how to get a simple dinner that
may suit the tastes, and purses
ui n goou muny now
vrec wnat uutcuers call a soup
pone, irom a nice, tender beef;
salt it over mght. Put it on in
time, so that it will be cooked
lender about half an hour before
dinner. Put in potatoes, if large,
put in sooner. About, fifteen or.
twenty minutes before dinner lift
meat and potatoes into a pan,
with a little of the broth, and, if
you have sweet potatoes have
fork will enter,and put them,too.
in tne pan. JNowatter the pan
of meat and potatoes has been
placed in the even, have a batter
made ready, as stiff as it can be
stirred. This batter should be
made with an egg,.a cup of sour
milk, a small teaspoon of soda 2
pinch of salt, and flour to 'thiclr-
en. Into the soup .(and there
should be plenty ofitj)'- seasoned
to taste, and boiling, drop the
batter: a small teasnonnfnl at.
time dipping the spoon into the
soup between spoonsfuls. Keep
the pot boiling, and stir gently,
so that the separate spoonfuls of
batter will not run together. As
soon as done thev should be lift-
ed at once.or thev will net heavv.
Such a dumplin soup, with good
bread and butter, and a cup of
nice coffee, or anvlhinp- pIsr that.
can be afforded for dessert,makes
good and cheap dinner at any
ume.

wishes to Pearl Wood.. Cincina

The Dog Dictator.
1 am none ofyonrmeanly-
inoumed, compromising fellows
that are airaid of saying the
truth," said a blustering, ill-tem-full
pered dog, that could never let
passengers go by in peace with
ed a growl or a bark, intimating
that they were in the wrong way

"That would be all very woll
if they wanted to know itxand
your mind were worth speaking,
said another dog; "but I rather
think such is not considered to be
the case, for generally those who
don't pass you as if they hadn't
noticed you, go bv on the other
side to keep out, of yoar noise;
now, perhaps, if you keep a little
quieter, and didn't attempt to
manage the whole street, you
would be of some use, and pass
for an honest guide instead of a
noisy, quarrelsome puppy, full of
yourself.
