After his mother's death, which took place while he was . very Tounz indeed, he was left all in the world, as all his relations deserted him and never took notice of him any more. Thin wsa not so bad for Pip as it seems an he did not come of a good family. Indeed, it had better be said, once for all, that most of his relatives, on both sides, were -beggars and thieves, and always had been from the very first that had been known of his family history. There is no use in trying to hide it, lie- cause the bad character or nis ancestors is a fact that poor Pip never ceased to lifter from, though he never knew that thev were anv worse than other people The trouble was that from a long course of thievlnir and other bad liaww tne familv hail crown to be very ukIv, and their ill looks, being handed down from I father to on, and gaining ratner wan losing at each transmission, Pip, the last of his race, could not have been uglier if all the bad qualities of his ancestors had been shut up in nis lean ooay. But this was far from being the case, Whether a turning point had been reached In the family career, merely be- cause it could not be worse, and if it was I to go on at all must be better, or, which I is more nrobable. Pip's mother was of a I better character than the rest of his re- I lations. the fact was that Pip was really I better than any of them had ever been. I Pip's mother was not so very ill look-1 ing. She had large yeiiow eyes, long i . . . , . i. VI .. ..1. Anr1 i.Allrtur I WniSKers, ana a grcai, uim,.iiuuvn th. miHni nf her back, the rest of her being mostly white. I believe I forgot to state that Pip was qmw uu muj-uiw uh, ably have brought Pip up well, and given him a goenf education, so that her loss was a great misfortune for poor Pip, who had to be brought up by hand by the neonle with whom his mother had lived. Now, even at this early age, when his eyes were hardly open, everything seemed to go wrong with him. They used to trive him a little saucer of milk with a little rae in it, so that the rag, beinsr wet with the milk, Pip might suck at it. But poor Pip, in his eagerness to get enough, used to get into the saucer and soak himself in the milk till he was as wet as the rar : and as he could not wash himself, and the milk with which he was covered soon turned sour, ne nsed to smell terribly of sour milk al most all the time. It was owing to this, and while trying to wash himself, that I better advantage, and Pip waited patient he fell into the habit of sucking one of ly on the upper step. his fore oaws with a loud noise, which he always did as long as he lived, when- ever he felt very contented and nappy indeed-r-which 1 am afraid was not very often. He was a verv little gray kitten at that time, with weak looking eyes and very shaky little hind legs. It was then he was first called Pip. His whole name was Phllln. but nobody ever called him anv thin? but Pip. He would himself have preferred to have- been called Au gustus when he grew up, but people never have their own way in such thinsrs. Pip had very little of the playfulness which ought to have shown itself as he grew larger, the lack of which was laid to natural stupidity by the people who took care of him, but really came from excessive timidity of disposition. This timidity lasted all through his life, and overcame him wnenever ne iouna mm self attracting any special attention. either favorable or, as was mostly the case, the reverse. In spite of the imperfect way in which he got his nourishment Pip grew up lLllbO jaavnuu wau w " uuauvu chiefly by experience, for there was nobody to attend to it. He really had no friends, and if he had not been such a perfectly well-intentioned cat he might easily have fallen into bad courses, like all the rest of his family. Almost the only people he knew to speak to were Caw and Father Beppo, Caw was a crow. He came originally from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, but he had been brought up in Maine very trictly by a family of very good people, who bad tried to teacn mm to talk:. And as they knew his stock of phrases must be small, tney tried to mane mm learn only moral maxims. Caw did not take kindly to these. He learned to whistle and to make a loud squeaking noise like a wheel which needs greasing, and to laugh in a terribly harsh voice ; but he bungled over the moral maxims very badly. Indeed the only phrase he ever did learn was ix your duty, and even that he could never say very distinctly. As he said it it sounded like ' Too ye Tooty.' . But he made up tor nis poor pronunciation by the frequency of its repetition. One of the first things that Pip re membered was seeing (jaw going gravely about in his black clothes and repeating, Do your duty,' with great earnestness. especially when he thought anybody was looking at him. It Is true that Caw used to steal any small objects that he could conveniently carry off, even after he had been screaming 'Do your duty' at tne top of his voice, and witn every in dication of sincerity, which made Pip have his doubts after he had grown old enough to think on the subject; but still he couldn't help having a respect for Caw, on account of his biacK clothes and his very solemn and imposing manners. Old Beppo, who was called Father Beppo on account of his age and the great reputation he had for wisdom, was a dog who lived the next house to lap, He was an Italian exile, and it was cur rently reported that he had been a brigand in his younger days. However that may have been, he left Italy while still quite a youth, and any bad reputation he may have earned at home did not prevent him from getting a position in society in America, where he was looked upon as a distinguished foreigner, and said to understand four or Ave languages at least. He was very old now, and his mind was stored with the results of a long and varied expe rience. He was a very dirty looking oiu aog, wiiii a. uouy line a long Darrel, rather crooked legs, and hardly tan enousrh to express his feelings after the U8ualmanner of his race. His hair was white mixed with gray; his ears long and silky ; his eyes which were still very bright, were nearly hidden under his shaggy eyebrows, and he had a long, drooping mustache, which served to hide his dental deficiencies. He had a long, shaggy gray and white wat. Pip thought he was the most remarkable dog in the world, and perhaps he was. At least he had a reputation for immense wisdom, which he never risked by much talking; and, indeed, he slept the greater part of the time in the most comfortable place he could find.' Now, Pip had nobody to go to for ad vice but Caw and Beppo; and not much sympathy could be got from them, though Pip needed it quite as much as he did advice. -. So when he grew up and found the world going hard with him, because no- body understood what a good cat he really was, ana every ooay was sei against him on account of his ill looks and awkward and timid manners, he found it rery hard to keep up a fjood I I Perhaps you want to know whaH Fins- He had a vellowist I gray coat striped with black, and look I so, - I .. 1. 1. 1 rw - ! no 1112 very rusty anu uuauuy, tuinms ( long, lanK oociy. mis neaa was smaji. iaucu au ouim m uiu I tj: nmro and micrv anil I i nor the furniture.

I Jjlttle Maud uvea in tne same nouae I with Pip, but she hardly ever tried to make friends with him ; and when she did he was so awkward that he would scratch her when he tried to play and then slink away full of shame and dis tress at his own clumsiness. At last, one day when he had been vio lently hustled out of the parlor for he knew not what small onence, ne nearu the master of the house say to his wife, 1 My dear, what In the world do you keep such an ugly, gummy-eyed, useless cat as that for? Why not get rid of him and have one that is good for something Poor Pip was dreadfully alarmed at this, and crept away into the cellar to cry; but knowing that crying wonld only make his eyes still gummier, he soon dried tnem as well as ne couiu witu his fore paws and set himself to think in? what was to be done. 7L can't help being ugly,' said Pip, 'but at least I needn't be good-for- nothing.' And he went off to find Caw, who was taking a walk in the garden, Caw was in high spirits that morning. He was looking beautifully sleek and glossy, and came down the garden walk I to meet Pip with a dignified gait that was very imposing. He had just stolen a silver tea-strainer and successfully hid it under a currant bush, sir,' said Pip (he always spoke very respectfully to Caw), 'will you please tell me what a cat can ao to mage mm- self useful? Yon know, sir ' confined Pip, In explanation, 'that I never had any education to speak of, and I am afraid I am not very bright, naturally, bat if vou would only give me some directions what to do 'Do your duty,' said Caw, with great promptness, But that's the very point,' said Pip timidly. 'What u my duty?' Caw evidently did not consider it his affair to go into details. He put his head a little on one side, looked at rip, gave a long whistle, repeated 'Do your duty' in a very harsh tone of voice, and hopped off with great gravity. Pip heard him laughing to himself after he I was Quite out of sight around the corner of the house. He was really laughing I at the recollection of the tea-strainer, I though Pip thought it was at him. I 'Never mind,' said Pip, very humbly, I i suppose i ougnt to Know wnai my amy i 11.1 T I- . !

I pip found Father Beppo just climbing hca... iiuunc. .u " " quite stiff from.a touch ot rheumatism, and he found some difficulty in getting about. But Father Beppo was a pluloso- pher, and looked serenely at Pip from under his shagarv eyebrows. 'If you please, Father Beppo,' said Pip, going straight to the point, for he knew that Father Beppo did not approve of many words, 'what is the whole duty I of cats?' I Father Beppo was a little astonished . . i - i .1. i. 1 rt i u uii8,quesuuu, aiuiuugu no uuou uu signs of it, which would not have been I becoming in a philosopher. But as it I seemeu to require avajr uuuiicucuuvc answer, he said he would think a little about it. ' " So he lav down on the porch and shut his eyes for the purpose of thinking to But instead of thinkine Father Beppo went to sleep and snored so loud that somebody came out 01 tne nouse, and having with great difficulty, and by dint of much poking with the toe of a boot, waked him up, sent nun on into tne gar den. ' Pip, who had disappeared very sudden ly when he saw somebody come out, trotted down into the garden after him. Father Beppo selected a comfortable place, where the grass bad grown long, and began to walk round in a circle, wnicn grew smaller and smaller tin ne seemed to be going round on a pivot in the middle of it. Pip knew that this was the way the old gentleman prepared to lie down, and that if he allowed the pro cess to go on there would be small hope of getting any answer to his question. So he went and planted nimseir respect fully but firmly in the wap of Father Beppo's hind legs, just as ne was com pleting his last turn. Father Beppo, thus interrupted, immediately sat down with his fore legs very wide apart and nis mna legs, wnicn were not strong cjiuugu w DujinMH linn in uu, uwiuuu. sticking up on each side of them, and prepared to listen to Pip, whose presence he had entirely forgotten. Pip began again. 'Please, sir, what is the whole duty of cats ?' ; 'To catch rats and mice,' said Father Beppo rather gruffly, for he was annoyed at the interruption to his nap. 'What else?' inquired Qip. : 'Eat 'em up clean,' said Father Beppo. Hut tney don't agree witn me, sir,' said rip raintry. 'We are not talking of you at all,' said Father Beppo sternly; 'we are con sidering the abstract question of the whole duty of cats.' 'Very true, sir, said Pip; 'excuse me, please. Goon, sir.' 'The next duty of cats,' resumed Father Bepp, 'is to look beautiful, and culti vate graceful and elegant manners. 'Handsome is that handsome does, murmured Pip, ; 'Silence!' said Father Beppo. 'Your remark is uncalled for, even if it were true, wnicn it isn't." 'I beg your pardon, sir,' said Pin. The next duty of cats,' . continued Father Beppo, 'is to maki themselves as comfortable as possible, and thereby add a charm to the artistic 'beauty of domes tic interiors.' . 'Dear me,' said Pip, 'I never thought of that.' 'Silence!' repeated Father Beppo, in a very loud voice; 'if you interrupt me again l won't say auotner word.' 'There's only one question I want to ask,' said poor Pip, 'and that is, if I do all these things will people come to like me not all at once, yon know, but after a long while ? Will iv ybody ever think how hard it is to try slu 1 how easy it is to fidl? Will my trying,' said Pip, in desperation, 'ever De appreciated r Father Beppo uttered a successiou of short howls, which was his way of laughing. 'Appreciated ?' said he ; 'why, look at me ! Do you suppoee I am appreciated ? uidn't you see tnem turn me off the porch just now, just as if l had been a common dog?- And you expect to be appreciated!' and Father Beppo's voice subsided into a prolonged growl of dis gust. Now, Pip knew that Father Beppo had been petted all his life, and had every comiort during most or it tnat a dog'could have, and to think that he should go on in that way was very irritating. 'As to your being turned off the porch, Father Beppo,' said Pip$ 'allow me to remark that you were making a horrid noise snoring.' Father Beppo was a philosopher, but there were some subjects on which he was as sensitive as anybody, and one of mem was snoring. 'Snore!' shouted lie. lI snore. Cos- petto! You impudent rascal ! j Did you come here to insult me ? I never snored in all my life. Get out of my garden you rascal!" And Father Beppo jumped up with such energy that Pip went home as fast as his legs would carry him. But he thought none the less of Father Beppo's opinion for all that, and from mac urae ne iriea nard to conform to it. 'I should like to be appreciated,' said he to himself; 'but after all the first thing to do is to deserve it.' And it was reaiiy very strange how things went wrong with him. One day he caught quite a large rat and ate him all up, and for a while felt verv much rtleased with himself.

He stole Pin's meat and bullied rip when he remonstrated. But the worst thing to bear for Pip was hearing somebody say one day, 'Now, if we could only get rid of that ugly, goou-xor- nothing Pip, we might take this beauti tul black cat instead.' Pip did not think he was a beautiful cat at all. He had great, fierce, coward ly, yellow eyes, and a great, broad face, with long, white, bristly whiskers. As to his fur coat, Pip had to confess to himself that it was very handsome. After long consideration Pip made up j,is mind that it was his duty to fight this cat, and, if possible, drive him away, Indeed, nis tyranny became unbear able. At last, one night, the black cat came into the cellar through a window that had been left open and Pip met him on the top of the wood-pile. : uet out or this cellar,' said rip, stoutly. '1 won't do no such thlug,' said tne black cat, beginning to swear horribly. Pip noticed, even then, that be used bad grammar. 'He shall not have my place,' said Pip to himself. 'I know I am as good as he is. If vou don't tret out. I will turn you out, you you you ruffian?' said pip aloud and fiercely, I'll knock your head off,' yelled the I black cat. I Pip was not at all accustomed to light- I ing, Dut nis DacK was up ana nis long i tail erew as large round as his lean body. I The black cat made a rush at him.

Of course there was a great noise in the cellar Pip and the black cat yelling at each other and a great bumning of sticks of wood on the floor. The master of the house came hurrying down the stairs, calling down all kinds of mischief on the head of Pip for mak ing the disturbance.' The black cat bad disaDDeared out of the window, but there was Pip sitting on the cellar floor in triumDh. He was badly nun dui ne uian c leei it. Now, because he looked so well In his excited state, or because the light was so dim, or because the master of the I house was verv Bleenr. or for all these I reasons put together, it happened that I phy. master mistook him for the black cat. So he stroked and patted him kind-1 w saying, 'good cat,' 'fine fellow,' and 1 then shut the window and went away. I . .....

Then little Maud brought a root of pansies irom ner own particular tumcu and planted It on Pip's grave, and made a little screen of twigs and leaves to keep it from wilting till it should take root. Her father came by and-stopped to watch her. Presently little Maud looked up with a bright smile and said. 'Paoa. do cats tro to Heaven r ; '.Nobody is wise enougn to ten mat,' said her father. Little Maud's smile faded away. 'But if they are very, very good,' said she. - Maud's father did not like to see his little girl looking bo sad. . 'My dear,' said he, 'let us always hope and believe that nothing that is good will ever die.' And little Maud's face brightened up again. Just then a beautiful gray and yellow butterfly flew up from the pansies, where he had hovered an instant while her father was speaking, and little Maud followed him down the garden walk till he flew away up over the trees into the warm sunlight.

Froebel says : "He who will recognize the Creator must early exercise his own creative powers ; exercise them with a feeling of consciousness for the1 repre sentation of the good; for-works are the bond that next to faith unite the creature with the Creator ; and the consciousness of doing the same is the real living union between man and God ; alike in the indi vidual or in the race. With all this edu cation must begin, and to this end it must always tend. AGRICULTURAL. There is not a single tree in Osceola County, Iowa.

The Southern Farmer says that a tea- spoonful of fine salt or of horse radish in a pan of milk will keep it sweet for seve ral days. Milk can be kept a year or more as sweet as when it was taken Irom the cow, by the following method : Pro cure bottles, and as they are filled imme diately cork them well and fasten the corK with pacK thread or wire. Then spread a little straw in the bottom of a boiler, on which place the bottles, with gtraw between them, until the boiler con- tains a sufficient quantity.

A lasting and most certain method of preservation lor eggs consists in cover ing the eggs in a jar filled with lime water, recently prepared, and keeping them in a cool place. The lime water is prepared from quicklime, or that which Has been Blackened Dut lately, by plac ing it in a quantity ot water greater than would cover the eggs. The milk of lime which is thus formed is allowed to stand several hours. The clear liquid which separates itself from the excess of lime used is the lime water which is poured off for use. Lime water not only prevents the evaporation, since the eggs are plunged in the liquid, but the alkali which it holds in solution, closes the pores of the shell and prevent all fer- mentation, either of the eggs or of the organic matter which the water might contain, w. li.uo nn hoaitanir in r(Unmmpr1. .: "e have no hesitancy in recommend- SS",!- entv hens to two cocks -R,,fr Cnphinti twentv-foiir hpns to two Dorldn7s ten hens to one S'IuS rtn hens to r'l.V" 3.r5. ... one cock; Spanish, twelve hens to one cock ; Branmas, twelve nensto one cock ; Hamburgs, fourteen hens to one cock; Polands, twelve hens to one cock; Game, ten hens to one cock, witn tms propor tion of hens to a cock the vitality of the eggs will prove good, and at least eleven out of twelve eggs set will produce "chicks."

The value or cnurcn property is estimated at $10,- The Executive Committee of the American Unitarian Association are non- Isideringthe project of building a Uni unan cnurcn in wascington; A. peti tion, asiang tne committee to take action in the matter, and suggesting the raising of a special fund of $50,000 for the pur pose, was presented at the last regular monthly meeting by Dr. Bellows, Mr. Hale and others. Thesubject was referred for further consideration. xne sunuay sonooi movement in JNortn western .Minnesota is assuming encouraging proportions. Sinee the arrival of Mr. Mason, agent of the Sun day school union, he has established eleven schools, all of which are doing well and bid fair to be permanent and do much good. As a means of civilization these Sabbath schools have thus far proved excellent, and they deserve and should receive the support ot every citi zen. A recent number of the Catholic World directs attention to the rapid growth of the Roman Catholics in the United States. It says : "Nowhere has the Catholic Church increased so pros perously witninne last nity years as In the United States of America. Two thousand churces and chapels were built an increase of 1,800 clergymen; 160 schools established for the Catholic train ing of 18,000 boys and 34,000 girls, moreover, mere existed in 1807 06 asy lums, wun 4,oo orpnans or Doth sexes ; 26 hospitals, with 3,000 beds; 4 insane asylums, besides many other charitable institutions, all supported by the private charity of Catholics." The number of clergymen in the United States is put at 91,000, and their average salary $700, which is a tolerably small sum, considering the ordinary di mensions of a minister's family. As a class the clergy are poor, and suffer many privations. They do their duty as they understand it to congregations that are far from responding as they should. The few clergymen who receive large salaries are exceptions, and Mr. Beech er's $20,000 Is probably the largest sti pend paid any clergyman in the world under the voluntary system. In Old England endowments and rates, and tithes carry up the income of some of the clergy into the tens of thousands of pounds.' IN1 UST OF FAIRS.

WOMAK'S LOVE. Mrs. H. B. Stowe, in 'Pink and White Tyranny,' on the 'love which makes the posessor of it only a little lower than the angels,' lias the following choice morceau : 'She, (Lillie,) and nianv other women. suppose they love their husbands, when, unfortunately they have not the begin- ing ui an iuea wnai lovens. Let me ex plain it to you, my dear lady. Loving to be admired by a man, loving to be petted by him, loving to be caressed by him, and loving to be praised by him, is not loving a man. All these mav be when a woman has no power of loving at " -"cjf xxiay uc siuipiy uecause sne loves herself, and loves to be flattered, praiseu, caressed, and coaxed, as a cat likes to be coaxed and stroked, and fed wiui cream, ana nave a warm corner. But all this is not love. It may exist, to be sure, where there is love : it tren- erally does. But it may also exist where there is no love. Love, my dear ladies is self-sacrifice; it is a life out of self and in another. Its very essence is the pre ferring of the comfort, the ease, the wisnes ot another to one's own.' TOUCHING INCIDENT. A little newsboy attempting to jump xiuiu a Btieet uar, me otner day, lell un der the car and was fearfully mangled As soon as he could speak he called piteously for his mother, and a messen ger was sent at once to bring her to him. On her arrival she hung over the dying boy in agony and grief. 'Mother,' he whispered, with a pain ful effort, 'I sold four newspapers and the the money is in mv Docket!' With the hand of death upon his brow, the last thought of her suffering child was for the poor hard working mother whose burdens he was striving to lighten nucu tic lubt ilia me.
