Enrly tuorning was olways a bustling
tlmo iti Jocl Clark's grcnt kitcben, ln
old Shelburne, n hundrcd years ngo,
but thls was soap-maklng day, nnd
lhercforo cstra carly and cspeclally
busy.
JocI'b wife, Ilachcl, bad tbo bugo
brass ketllo swung ovcr tbo flrcplnco,
antl wns watching tbo odorous ruixturo,
with a little lrown tieiwcen ner cyee
whilo sho stirrod it tlowly with a long,
wooden rmddlo.
Patlcnco D:ow, tho housc-maid
stood bv tbo tnblc, nnd with n woolen
clotb nnd eomo fresh brlck dust was
ecourinc tho powtcr plates nnd porrin-
gers uscd at tho early breakfnBt.' Sbo
said, " Well, I'm proper plensed, Mis
Clark, tbat you took just tbis tlmo to
foilo tnat soap; JUis ueacon jmsk inado
bers last wcck, rlgbt iu tbo wrong o'
tho moou, and such a snlvy tness, I
think I uever see beroro in all my life;
you can't gct good jelly soap if it'll
como at all uniess you taitc ino ngni
timo ior it."
" Well," eaid II ichel, " I uevor would
try to mako aoap at all, witbout sludy
ing tbo almauac."
In tbo room beyond tbe pnssnge-way,
old Alexander Clnrk was fumbling at
his coat, nnd looking desperntcly nt his
Bhocs; but to a nian of ninety ycara of
ngo, bultonbolcs and shoo buckles nrc
evasivo things; bo, with n Bort of ini
patient snort, Alexander took up his
cano and wcut to tho kitcben to flnd
liachel.
" Wbat in timo, my cbild, does nil my
wnist-cul? I'v fussed tilll'm clean tircd
out."
"Wby, fatber," shouled Itachel to
Ueat old man, "you'vo nuttoncd tnc
top button into tho middlo button-bole."
"Eh! Wby nol Well, sure cnougb.
Now, do see what's got into my shoes."
" Wby, you've pot into tho wrong
ones, said liachel, laughing; thoee aro
mother's shoes, and your heels stick out
over tho back; hcro's n pair of Joel's
old elippers; put these ou."
" Pretty difllcult, Racbel, hain't I?"
eaid tbo old man, wistfully.
"Ohl no, fatber, tbat's nothing; just
see what a flne May morning it is. Ia
molber up yet?"
" No, not yet. 1M got a few fagots
nnd flx up tho flre in tbero," ho
answcred, hobbling out at tbe open
door.
" llercy, I must flx that fire, before
fatber gets nt it, nud scts tho houac
nDre," aaid Racbel.
" Herc, Patience, you stir the soap;
pour in a little cold lyo if its likc to run
over; better put somo chips under, the
flrst thing," nnd anatching tho bellows
from its hanging placo, on the wall,
Bho hurried away, whilo Patience gath
cred up bcr homespun npron, to hold
tho chips, and ran out just in timo to
seo grandfathcr chasing the pig nbout
tho gardcn; nnd before sbe could stop
tho diaaster, tho pig dashed blindly
into tho kitcben, with grandfathcr in
hot purauit. Findiug his retreat cut
off, his pigahip took, naturally, tho
open paaaago to grandmother's room;
when confronted by the natonishcd
Racbel, whodroppcd tbo bellows in tho
nBhes, nnd Bprang to hcr feet, tho pig
turned, to encounter a furious dig from
grandfatber'a cane, which sent him with
a equeal, to the center of tbo room, and
sceing, as be believed, n meaus of es
cape in the window at the back of tho
bed, be acrnmbled to tho center of
Rachcl's quilt, and began a hurried
trampling up and down poor grand
mothcr'B helpleas anntomy.
" Tako that, will ye? Havo at him,"
sboutcd Alexander, prodding contin
ually with his cane.
" Woof, woof," snorted tho pte.
"Wby, he's a killin' me," shouted
grandma, whilo in tho general uproar,
Rachel was trying in vain to mako her
Eelf heard, and screaming, " Father,
etopl do Btopl Finally, getting thor
oughly nlarmed f or her mothcr-in-law's
Bafety, Bbe laid violent hands on grand
pa, and setling him down backward,
into an easy chair, Ehe proceeded to
eject tho now nlmost i rantic pig through
tho front door, shoving him out, and
giving an empbaaizing whack with tho
cver convenlent brooin, then turning
to the old gentleman, Bbe said,
' Father, I aee Unclo Jobnny Stuart
coming. You just como out in tho
kitcben and talk, whilo I get motber
up, if sho nin't killed, and get your
brenkfast ready."
Aftcr baving cxplained tbo situation
in the kitcben, to Patience, Bbe said,
"Now watch fatber nnd Uncle Jobnny,
and if they get to quarreling, cjII mo."
A lew minutcs latcr, Alexander nna
When a man owns

That is the princlple on whlch Doctor

It cleanses, purifies and enriches the blood,

Unclo Jobnny, sbowing tbclr toothlcsa

"Well, Patience. don't cet mnrried

"iNo, Uncle Jolinny, 1 cun't uud anv
ouo to havo mo," said homely Patience,
gany.
"Well, well," mumbied Alexander.
"got a good man, ye'll be glad ye
waited till ye got him, but get a poor

"lle, lie, ne, ni, ni, lii," lauched
both jokere, gleefully. "Batter tell
him to take thered tasselsoff his boots,
Patience," chuckled Unclo Johnny.
jNow, Abner was a soro subicct to
Putience; tho foppishncss of his drcss,
and a ridicu'ous lisp in his Bpeech cavo
him nn cffeminatc air tbat to common
Benae Pationco waa unbcarable, but Ab
ner was too obtuso to bo eho tban ner-
sistent, nnd cvening nfter evening be
was nsked by niiscbievous Wilkins to
1 Uivo us a Bong, now, Abner."
Tben while Abner awung tho red
ta8scls to nnd fro, with one kneo over
the other, ho kept timo with his foot to
the refrain:
' When you Rot old, aud bunpry and cold,
i tuwoar, i uopo you'ii lreetu, ireetn,
I tbwear, I bopo you'll freetb."
Thia was tho awful fnto callcd down
upon tbo maidcn in Abncr's sonc for
daring to refuBe tho gallant swain who
proposed to nllow her to mnrry him.
WUklng would jnennwhtle look wlth
cycs of mock solemnity and meaning
at Patience, who had como to hatc the
sound of Abnor's name.
So, when Racbel now returned to tbo
kitcben, Pationco was glad togct away,
to prepare tho vcgetables, and bang tbo
pot over grandmother'd fire for tbo
boiled dinner; but sho lound here n
fresh war cloud, as little Cathorino had
8lipped in somehow, and waa vigoroua
ly disputing right of lerritory with
grandma, to the last lituit of endurance.
(Jatuerine was tbo onlv creat crand-
cbild, and fierco indced wcro somo of
tbo struggles between tbo cbildisn old
couple and tho apoiled four-year-old
baby.
"Away with ye," cned tho old lady.
as Catbarine for tbe third timc Bnatchcd
the choicest morsel from grandmother's
breakfa9t; " now, will ye go?" giving
her a push that sent hcr backward on
to the Btone hcartb.
" You old lado," said little Catharine
vehemently, apringing up nnd Btnrting
determinedly for the door, her chubby
form alive with fury. " Wait till I get
me a Btick and Pll give you ono good
licking."
Patience locked tho door and was
obliged to watch the rcmainder of tbe
forenoon, in tbo kitcben, to kecp tno
enemy from npproacbing at tbo rcar;
but all tbese thlnga bo interfered with
tho Eoap boiling tbat it wns lato fore
noon before tnoy got tno kettlo irom
tbe crane, and set it to cool on the
wide beartb.
"Now, Pationco," Baid Rachel, "wo'll
ladle out tho keg full, and tho rest will
cool soon, and tnen it can bo cmptieu
into tbo soap trougb, down ceiiar; we'ii

Tho morning work flniBhed up, and
dinner ovcr, Racbel hasloncd away
to her weaving, whilo l'atlenco drew
out tbo flax-wbeel and began splnnlng
cnergetically; aa tho thrend rounded
upon tho spindlo, sho bogan singiug in
ln nasai tones, wuu many Biurs.

Said bo, "I can't sthop loug wlth Pa

and tbought Pd jsl Bthop in and get n,

Patience, wlth n contemptuous gl'anco
at his immaculate attiro, took up tbo
cldor pitcher and went dowu cellar,
leaving Abner, lcaning with whut ho
fondly ibolioved to bo an air of casy
graco agalnst tho kitcben tablo. Now
grandfathor Alexander bad becn up

"Well, wbatin tbo nation, fathor,"

Tbo bearing chlld just lcnrning to
talk is quito unlntclllgiblo at flrst, but
gradually tbo organs lcarn thoir lcsson,
and uttoranco grows distinct. liul tho
car is tho guldo and critlc of thoso
carly attompts, Tho doaf cbild, how
ovor, hcats no sound, and scos only tho
elight movcmcnts of thu Ups and
tonguo, nnd can novor lcarn to spoak
by liis own unnidod obsorvatlon anu
itnitation of thoso molione. Tho lonch
or raust furnlsh tho corrcction and
training tbat tho car ordinarily sup
pllcs. Tho tcaching of spccch to a
totnlly dcaf chlld wbo has novor spokcn
is truly a wondorful achlovcmcnt. Ho
has no conccption of sound, aud can
nnvcr havo; for tho only sonso by
which ho can bo taught tho cslstcuco
of sucb a thing is that of touch, which
sitnply glves fiim a knowledgc of tho
motions that accompany sound, but aro
no moro tbo Bound ltsclf than tho vi

To traln tho doaf child's organs to
tako thoir propcr positions for tho ut
toranco of words as unconsciously as
thoso of a hoaring porson is a vory slow
proccss. Tho dovolopmcnt of any sot
of reflex action3 is alaborious task ovon
whero mlstakcs can bo recognized nnd
corrcctcd by tho learnor himself; iu
tbis caso, howovor, tho loarner cannot
correct his own crrors, but muBt rtly
upon tho alsrt car of his tcacbcr to
kccp him from acquiring a wrong set
of reflex actious and formiug habits
that it will bo almost impossiblo to
brcak up.
Sido by sido wlth articulation comos
tho task of tcaching languago. Imag
inoyoursclf in u country whose speech
you did not know, and whose iubabi
tauts did not undorstand yours. Imag-
ino, in auuitton, tnat you werc suddcn
ly deprived of your hearing. IIow well
do you think you would succced in
learning tho now languago? Yot tho
congcnitally deaf child is under cvcn a
grcator disadvantago than tbis. Ho is
not only in a foroigu laud tbo languago
of which ho does not understand, but,
to begin wltb, bo has no conception of
what lancuago is. II c has no lan
guago of his own which can be used ns
n framework on which nnd by whlcb
to build tho now. If ho is more than
two years old, ho may have invcntcd
for himself n few nntural, gestural
signs to indicato isolatcd obiects or tbo
simple needs of his body, such as hun
gry, tired, thlrsty; but these signs can
no moro bo calle'd a languago than the
differcnt movomcnts of a dog's tnil nnd
cars which indicato his fcclings or his
wanls can be dignified bv that name.
He has no conception of n structurnlly
connccted menns of exprcssion.
Is it any wonder, then, if, aftcr some
years of instruction, the tcacher occa-
sionally linds a sentenco likc this, writ
ten by n boy in his journnl aftcr com
ing to school ono cold March morning:
"Tbo wind is very blew, and I am a lit
tle shiver?" Or this substitution of
act for imploment: "The man chopped
tho ground with his dig, and tho dog
hurrahed with his wag?" The irregu
laritics and inconsistoncies of Englisb
grammar and spelling mako it much
barder, of course, to teacb the deaf, and
no class of peoplo would bo moro great
ly beneflted by a strictly phonetic spoll
ing and an excoptionlcss grammar tban
they. That the denf child is not frigbt
ened by these irregularities is shown
by tho reply of n bright little girl when
asked to give tho principal parts of
Bomo irregular verbs. Saveral were
given correctly, and then sho began on
another: "Eat ato" sbe paused for n
moment in 'tbought, nnd then added,
"swallowed." "Spcech nnd Speech-
