Clinton ticttltardi MltS. lIKAIWSLEr. Three times In the course at tier life bad Mrs, lleardvley died, and three times bad she KOne to heaven, as she asserted with a ooid- placenoy rivalled only by ber resentment at bavinK been culled back from that abode of the good. Mrs. Ileardsley's idea of heaven, however, may bave been very different from ours, and indeed it may bave been quite an other place tbat she visited. It would only bave been heaven to ber if there were uo children there to disturb tbe eternal Illness of things, if there were no muslo to make diacord to ber ear or want of ear, It there were no flowers to make a clutter, and If there were no one present of any suuerlor authority to her own. Ope thing is certain, it Sirs. Ueardslfty bad remained there it would have been heaven to nobody else re maining tbere. Them (mapping black eyes o hern would spy something outer kilter In one o' the cor ners of heaven itself," said old Miss Malkln, tho nurse ; "and she'd set tbe angels by the quills, and get up a new revolt among 'em in less 'nno time." And ber long.eufTerir,g lit tle step-daughter in law didn't dare to smile acqulesoenoe. It Mrs. lteardsley had ever been a real mother to ber husband's eon Aaron, Mrs. Tacy, Aaron's wife, might bave felt different ly : but as she bad been the traditional step mother so completely, the son's wife felt nothing but hostility in the year of ber mar ried life and enforced companionship, Bhe was only a child men herself, having married at seventeen ; and when Aaron died and left ber alone with Mrs, Ueardnley, her heart sank within ber, and she hailed deliveranoe, when twn or three years afterward it came along in tbe person of handsome Harry llavermau, embraced tbe deliverance out of band, and became Mrs. Haverman without even asking Mrs. lieardsley'e opiuion ; and that lady's hysterical surprise was one of the the occasions when Mrs. Ilaardsley went to heaven, and to everybody's sorrow, as well as her own, failed to remain tbere. Tacy, at tbe time of what Mrs. Iieardsley persisted in calling ber elopement, owing to ber own lack of an invitation to tbe ceremo ny, left tbe bouse in Mrs. Ueardsley'a bauds, and a letter saying tbat her own small income should be at the disposal of tbat lady during her life. "I suppose she eipects me to thank her for my own," said Mrs. lteards ley to Miss M.lkin, "as if Aaron, my son, would have had it different. He knew what was duo bis father's widow, If be didn't know bow bis own widow would carry on. I won der how Bho oan reconcile it to her con Bcienoe 1" "Why, Mrs. lleardaley, you thought of marrying again yourself once I" said Miss Malkin. "That's the mischief of being a nurse I" exclsimed Mrs. lleardaley. "Norses know a a great deal more of folks' business than folks know themselves. At any rate, I did n't marry again." "No," said Miss Malkin, with full acquies cence now, aa became a nurse, although per haps with a manner that reminded Mrs. lteardsley why she didn't marry again. "Now here's some nice gruel ; you take it, like a lady." Mrs. Iieardsley, however, forgave Tacy ; at least she said she did. How oould she help it, with that old IlAverman house only a half-mile away, the inside of which she had never seen, and with Taoy's new outfit not yet Inspected by her, and with ber burn ing curiosity ungratitled ? To think that such an affair could have been carried on under ber very eyes? As she reviewed tho days now, a hundred incidents started op like points of fire to light ber on her way. And the moment she recovered from her bysterics she took a little walk for ber health in Taoy's direction. "Good morning," said Tacy, coming down in her pretty wrapper. ("I never bad such a gown in my life," said Mrs. Iieardsley.) "This is kind of you, Mrs. Betrdsley.) "This isklnd of you, Mrs. Iieardsley," "Why, Tacy, I thought you'd be feeling so strange you'd be glad to see your mother, and call ber mother, too," "I never called you mother while I was married to Aaron, Mrs. Iieardsley, so it would seem rather odd," Bald Tacy. "Bat there now, we won't talk of that. Just take off your things and stay to dinner, and yon'll have a chance to make Harry's acquaintance," she said, gayly. "H-m I I guess I don't need to be invited in my danghter's bouse, Harry or no Harry. And as for making his acquaintance, I used to think I knew enough of him when be was keeping company with Adele Freemantle. "Why, wnat on eartn do yon mean r cried Tacy. "Harry hardly knows Adele." Doesn't be ? Well. If be wants to tell you eo, I've no objection. It's not my mis sion to be making mischief in, families." Having Implanted which barb. Mrs. Iieards ley proceeded to make herself at home so much at borne tbat berore dinner time she bad become acquainted with the contents of every closet in the house, and had given tbe Kitcnen-maid ber own opinion or tbe care she took of ber lamp chimneys. "i d ratner run over and do them myself lor jou man nave them looking tbat way, said Mrs. Iieardsley. "Would yon f" said Becky, "Yes, I would. And don't you answer me tbat way, eltber. "Well, 'm, you're not my mistress; and when I ask yon to trim my lamps, it's time enougb to begin," "You'll find out who's your mistress, miss, and it won't be anybody in Ibis house long, I'll warrant," said Mrs. lleardaley. "Well, Tacy," said the guest tbat day at dinner, after liecky bad retired, "beginning lila again as you are. you can take advice from your elders, I suppose. And my advice to you Is to get rid of tbat Becky without warning. 1 never met ber matob for Impu denoe, and I've met a good deal." "Becky ? Wby, site's a perfect treasure,' said Taoy. "A perfect treasure I" echoed Harry, with a gay twinkle of bis wicked eyes. "Well, you may call It a treasure that in sults your mother. I oall It a baggage. And I shall expect you to send ber packing It you care auytning aooui me. l'oor Tacy looked aghast. "No, no, now, Mrs. Iieardsley," cried liar ry, ooming to tbe rescue ; "that's too severe a test. Let Taoy keep tbe girl that salts ber. xou manage your girl, and shell manage hers." ."I haveu't any girl." said Mrs. Beardsley, deeply injured at the reminder of the fact. "if It wasn t tbat Mrs. Malkin aocepta home with ue between whiles, I should bo doing all my own work myself." "Well, you come over hero when you want a rest," be said, rising. "I'm going down your way now. If you want company, Mrs. Beardsley," And Taoy gave bim a glance of gratitude, although she did not know of It, tbat repaid blm lor tbe walk. Poor little Taoy I All ber late years bad been poisoned with the bitterness and epleen of Mrs, Ileardsley's tODgue. Tbere bad been a dispute going on between ber and her step. son Aaron that kept Taoy's bead aohing, and although she bad bo longed (or peaoe tbat Bbe would bave been wining to give up every' thing for the sake of it, she never seoured ft Tbe sharp sayings, tbe slanderous statements, in which Mrs. Beardsley gloried were hateful and painful to ber, and she felt tbat tbe In. nuendoce and contumelious sniffs and all tbe rest were degrading to the listener. And now to think that even by marrying out of tbe house she bad not escaped this ogress, whom family deoenoy compelled ber to treat with civility, and of whom sho did not wish to complain to Harry, through some senti ment of personal pride and reserve concern ing her as a part of ber past I But it was of no use to wish she should never see Mrs. Beardsley again, for here she was Immutably j nor tbat Harry's business was in some other plaoe, for bow could she bear to leave home and friends herself ? No she must make tbe beat of It here. And so every little while she sent over to Mrs. Beardsley certain luxuries she could not have bad otherwise great bowls of fresh cream and dishes of strawberries, melons and peaches and grapes, all In the Boasou, and va. rlous other more substantial tblngs, among them always Ibe marketing of a good Bun day dinner, which Harry himself ordered. None of this made any difference to Mrs. Beardsley ; it all only embittered ber a trifle more as the enforced recipient. And every time she spent a day at Tacy's she contrived to leave Taoy tolerably miserable at tbe end of it miserable in a way uf which she would not speak to ber husband, feeling tbat she must always receive Mrs. Beardsley, and that if Harry disliked ber more than need was, that would become impossible. What Mrs. Ileardsley's motives were in making Tacy uncomfortable, other than as envy inspired them, It would be difficult to say ; but there was not a detail of Tacy's housekeeping which was not eubj ct to her sneering criticism, as often before Harry as another. Tacy bad not a taste that she did not go outof berway to cast a slurupou it, and Taoy bad not n f rimd that Bhe did not assault with a perennial malice, not eo much from malignity toward those Individuals, appar. ently, as toward Tacy horsolf. Ketortlng at first, at last the victim took refuge in silence, and the silence spurred on Mrs. Beardsley more than tbe retort. Whether she cared for what was said or not, It was alt very upset ting to tbe nerves of tbe young wife; and always after the departure-of the enemy Ta cy felt as if she had done a bard day's work. "I saw Adele Freemantle to day," Mrs. Beardsley said, untying ber bonnet Btrings. "I declare she looked about as fresh as she did those days when Harry used to go with ber." "He nover did go with her 1" oried Tacy, in hot forgetf ulness of her silent system. "Didn't be ? Look here, Taoy ; husbands don't tell their wives everything. Wives have to take it out in despising the other par ties when tbey suspect anything " "I think such talk is disgractful and de grading." ".Such actions are. Ai for Adele, how do you know who goes with ber? At any rate she's monstrously fresh aud pretty. It's strange bow lime goes by some women and never touches them you've begun to look mighty peaked yourself, Tacy. Your face is all yellow with moth, and thin enough to split tbe wind. I declare I shouldn't want Marry to see the difference between you and such a blush-rose as she is, though I do be lieve she paints; such color at ber age can't be natural, and tbat I do say." "Harry would love me JuBt as well, no matter bow I looked," began Taoy. "I'm glad you think so. I often Bay, if women only knew what their husbands said and did away from them, they wouldn't rest at borne quite so easy. When people reach my time of life tbey know tbe world, and they don't believe in tbe best man alive that they don'l. I guess if Harry Haverman carried a glass iu his bosom, bo tbst you could read bis thoughts, you might Bing a dif ferent song. But I'm not going to make mischief, and I'm glad you're so confident. Did you see Quetnie Munro's bonnet last Hunday ? Bhe might just as well bave worn Queen Victoria's crown. Of all things I do despise middle aged women making believe young. You're getting along yourself, Tacy, bat you don't put on any airs about it, though you'd be justiflml if you did, for ev erybody knows how Harry likes young wo men and stares at a pretty face."

Here, after a season of depression tbat task ed all Harry's good-nature, Tacy resolved tbat she would not condesoend to let Mrs. Beards ley meddle so with her happiness that, in short, she would quarrel with her if tbat must be ; and she kept her resolution by denying herself whenever Mrs. Beardsley came in sight of tbe window.

The November Century makes a new era In the history of that magazine, in beginning tbe publication of "Tbe Life of Lincoln," by bis private secretaries, John O. Nioolay and Col. John Hy. Two prefaces, one editorial and the otber by the writers, give ample ao- count oi me worn and call attention to tbe exceptional opportunities wbicb these gentle men nave bad to prepare wbat is certain to be tbe fullest and most authoritative work on the subject. Its authors were, in a sense, the chosen biographers of Lincoln, by whose aid they were rc enforced in tbe collection of material during tbe war. rrom an historical point of view the value of tbe work largely resting on documentary evidence not attaina ble by other writers must be ranked high. In fact the inner history of the war waits up on tbl. work. Tbe first part is concerned itb the Lincoln family as pioneers, includ ing their relations with Boone In Kentucky, and their subsequent life in Indiana and Illi nois down to tbe uiack Hawk war, and a plo ture of the society and surroundings of young Lincoln, involving a concise history of tbe western states of tbat day. Oa the pictorial side there is a frontispiece portrait of Lin coln in I860, from a remarkably fine and un- backneyed photograph, a portrait of Boone from Sully's painting from life, and tbe tra. ditions of tbe Lincoln homes and localities are gathered up piotorially to supplement the text. A fao-aimile of a passage of Mr, Low ell's "(joinmemoratlon Ode, referring to Lincoln, is printed at tbe beginning of the magazine, and certain otber rao-Blmlles throw new ngbt upon tbe early history or tbs Lin coins.

Ills glowing description of tbe country, teeming with 3,000,000 of Intelligent and fairly Indus trlous people, fired the hearts of English Ubristlans, Tbey sent several missionaries to live In the beautiful country near Victoria Nvanza. In Uganda's obief town. Freucb Koman Catbollos soon followed tbe English pioneers, and all worked hard and zealously lo help and Instruct tbe natives. It costs, tbe French tell us, $ft,000 to put a missions, ry in Central Africa. These Uganda missions have cost not only many thousands of dollars but also tbe lives of three white men and years of ceaseless toll and anxiety. The news reached us last week tbat tbe fruits of all these prloeless labors and sacrifices havo been wiped out in a bloody tragedy. Thd king uf Uganda has murdered all the converts of the missionaries, who are themselves In great peril and implore assistance. For a while a bright future seemed to be before these missions. They built churches and made quite a number of converts. A short time before King Mtesa'a death about 80 converts wore admitted to the English church on one occasion. Old and young crowded the schools to learn to read. Mr. O'Flaherty learned to epeak Kiganda liko a native. Mr. Mackay sailed tbe great Iske In tbe little bark Eleanor, which bad been sent in sections from England. Mr. A the excited much wonderment by digging wells and bulldlnga cart. But tbe king's counsellors alwaya viewed these whites with suspicion. They often advised the king to kill them on the plea that they were subverting the ancient beliefs and undermining bis bold upon his subjects. King Mtesa on the whole was friendly to the missionaries, and tbey and their work were Bare wbile be lived. Ills young son Mwanga, bowever, is tbe tool of bis council, and they bave filled bim with fear that the willies may some day try to deprive blm 01 the power which 17 of his ancestors for near, ly three centuries bave wielded. Tbe mur der of Bisbop Hannington, therefore, has been rollowed by tbe extinction or tbe native Christians. When the story of the massacre reaches ns It will doubtless be found tbat some of these hapless converts went to Ibeir death as fear lessly as the martyrs of old. A wbile ego King Mwaoga warned his subjects of the dan gers of embracing new faiths by burning at the stake two Christian hoys who refused to renounce their belief. Tbey died with Chris tian songs on their lips, perfectly sustained in tbe terrible ordeal by their nnfaltering trust In the Deity the whites had taught them to adore. v. Y. Sun. C3rovlh stlncv thn X.n.1 Crn.ll. now Bhall we realize something of tbe na tion's progress and power of growth 1 Since 1680 tbe population bas increased from 000,000 lo 00,000,000; an addition of 10,00(1,. 000 inhabitants, about as many as Oreat Britian has gained in thirty years, is but one of the elements at work. From abroad wo bave added during the six years, by immi gration alone, a population greater than that of tbe entire state of Ohio or Illinois. An other nation, more populous than this nation was when it achieved it independence, has been brought to these shores across the sea since the last census was taken. What is an able-bodied inhabitant worth ? Tbat depends on where he f. In some countries, where be can get neither land nor freedom, neither opportunity or stimulus to effort, he is worth but little. Here be produces farms, cities and railroads ; be produc a wealth far more than be consumes; he raises children, and they in turn add to tbe producing power of the nation. But while a population as large as that of Ohio bas come to us from across the sea, another population greater than that of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut together in 1880 has been added by natural increase in eix years. Consider wbat these four states were and wbat tbey produced in 1880, and then conceive that a population as great as that of these four states bas been added to the country in six years. Growth in population, surpassing that of any other great nation, is but the least sur prising feature in tbe nation's development, Tbe census reported about 87,000 miles of railroad ; on the first of September we had 132,000. The middle states bave added one third to their mileage; the states between them and the Mississippi nearly one-third, and the southern states nearly one-half, and tbe states west of the Mississippi more than one-half over 10,000 miles. In four states and one territory Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Mionesota and Dakota bave been added 10,000 miles. Then consider that every mile of new railway, in regions not already sup plied, brings within ready reach of markets 6100 acres of land, enough to support the entire population of another town, and tbat we bave added in bIx years tbe means of sup porting 45,000 such towns.

Dr. Salmon, oblet of the bureau of animal industry, in bis official report upon tbe out. break of pleuro-pneumonia at Chicago, de tails his personal examination of the diseased and infected herds and says that it is impos sible to say how widely the disease bai been disseminated, but as tbe diseased cattle have been found in nearly all tbe herds and as they bave browsed upon nearly all of tbe open pastures around the city tbb infection must be very widespread, particularly as the own ers themselves practiced inoculation exten. slvely, which, wbile it reduced tbe mortality among cattle, bad a tendency to spread the disease over a vast territory. After detailing the manner in which the disease is supposed to have started, and various difficulties in tracing it to Chicago, tbe report oontinues : Tbe state live stock commission has cooper ated cordially in an effort to discover and iso late the affected and exposed cattle, but neither tbe state law nor the appropriations made to secure tbe enforcement of its pro visions are adequate o tbe emergency. Ev. ery animal in the distillery stables and every one which has been upon tbe infected com mons of Chicago, should be summarily seized, condemned and slaughtered. Experience of tbe world wltb this plague teaches us tbat no other course can be relied upon to extermin ate the contagion. Unfortunately it is only too plain that such a measure cannot be car- ried out, and that it will not be attempted without additional legislation. A Ccmous CiacousiANCE.

It was no light matter to groom a horse in tboso days, for, just as the beads of gentlemen wero plastered and bewigged, so the horses wore made to undergo wbat would seem to us now rather absurd practice. The night before a horse was to be ridden, he was covered from bead to foot with a paste mado of whiting and other ingredients ; then be was welt wrapped In rlotb and laid to sleep on clean straw, By tbe next morning the pasto hail hardened, and it was then vigorously rubbed In, and the horse curried and brushed. The result was a satiny and glossy coat. Tbo hoofs were blackened and polished, the mouth washed, the teeth picked and cleaned, and tbe horse was then ready to bo saddled and brought out, bl.
