A W estern pastor relates the fol- lowing suggestive incident: When the late Dr. Hodge vras drawing near tbe close of liis life he spent two or three days at my house. Hediscovered in my study a piece of furniture he greatly admired and asked me to buy for him, if I could, a duplicate. "Upon receiving it from my hand he pulled out of his pocket a purse in order to reimburse me, but there was nothing in it. I playfully remarked that his treasures were all laid up in heaven. He bade me pause to see if he did not still have all he needed for earth. He soon found thechangehewasin search of and handed it to me to pay for the fnrnilitto, saying : " I have from boy- hood taken the precaution to have some treasure at both ends of the journey.* This simple expression contains the sum and substance of his masterly ctomes on didatic theology. There is saiO to be a large band of atient through the horrors of yellow fevjp. "No w, say no more about it, Mb s Abigail, and thank GoA that tho contagion has not spread. Yours wai the only cise. Aud now the black frost has come, anl all danger is.over." Yes, all danger was over, tha:)k* to the heroic womin who had risked her own life to nurse her enemy. But enemy no longer. There is now no warmer advocate of Harvey Layne's wife in the whole country thaa Miss Abigail Harris. She has secretly made a will bequeathing all her possessions— quite a fortune—to Myra Lane, who had heaped coals of fire upon her head.—V irtiide Comp%n,io'n. HAEVEY'S WIFE BY MRS. E. BURKE COLIJN3. "So Harvey's married, eh? Wai, 1 s'pose there will be a change in the family to be sure l And they do say he's married a gal from the city, who's been to college or some other sucli fool place, and lamed cvery thin' that a wom- an hadn't ort to know; clr.mistry, botany, philos'phy, gceology and physiology. They say she knows more about the human body than sho docs about makin' bread. Fine housekeeper she'll make for your llaivey ! Sister Layne, I'm soiry for ye!" The speaker—a tall, gaunt old lady in a scant gown of blue check, and a huge white sun bonnet—sunk into the big willow chair upon Farmer Layne's vine-covered porch, and began to fan herself with a big turkey wing. Mrs. Layne, a small slight o' .d lady, in a brown hollaaJ. dress an I white apron, a silvery- haired, placid-faced, motherly body, glanced up from the dish towel th-it sho v:ai busily hem- ming, and smiled serenely. "Well, now, Abigail, I'm not afraid of Myra,"she observed, quie iy. "Tlie girl U a littlo lcarnel perhap', bu ', then, I jud ge by her letters that she is very modest over her acquirements. And Harvey thinks there isn't another such a woman on the fac j of the earth, " The visitor sighed lugiibri-susi y. " I should think that wo.:l I bo a great trial to you!" observed this female Job's comforter. "You was allus used to Laviti' Harvey look up to you a* the fust and last among women ! There'll be a change, sister L lyne ; there'll be a changol' Mrs. Layne lau^hod aloud—a charm- ing little laugh, which di I one good to hear. ''Of course, I expect that, Abi gail" —spoken with sweet seriousness— "'3 should be very sorry if ilirvey were to care more for his mother than for his wife. But a mother's love need not in terfere with the other lovo. And, any ¦way, he and Myra are married ; be will bring her home tomorrow to the old farm, and it will not be my fault if she is not satisfied here, for 1intend to do all in my power to make her contented and happy ! " "Humph 1 Wai, I'm sure" I hope you'll never regret it, that's all ! '1 suys Miss Abigail Harris, as she arises to take her departure. Her call has Leen fashionably short, but then she has ac- complished the purpose for which she came, and that was something. The following day brought Harvey Layne, only child of the worthy oil couple who owned Ilillsdale Furm , home to the old farm-house, and with him a tall, elegant girl— ' .in briJe. Myra was not pretty ; but one glance into the fair, c.ilin face, with its seri- ous brown eyes, which yet hel'l a merry gleam somewhere i;i their depths, and Mrs. Layne held out her arms. "My dear, 1h'-pc you will be happy here. We're p'aia people—father and 1—but we will do all we can to make you happy, for Harvey's sa'te.1 ' "And for my own, I hope," she said, softly, as sho returned the old lady's affectionate greeting—after which she was duly presented to- her father-in- law. As the day3 went by tho coming of Haivey's wife began to work wonders in the old brown farm-hous?. She re- moved the hideous ornaments from the parlor and substituted dainty creations of her own—painted placque3, brackets anl paintings. A velvet lam i requin soon covered the eyesore of a tall, paint- ed mantle, delicate lxe tidies, orna- mented with gay ribbons, covered the faded repp furniturj . The green paper shades disappeared from the windows, and pretty and inexpensive drapery of delicate scrim took 'their place. The basket of paper flowers vanished like magic from the round table in a corner of the parlor, and ia its s!ead a plush- bound album upoa a plush,easel. Myra smiled when she arranged it for she knew that this was commonplace in the extreme; but anything was be' .ter than the paper flowers. Then beautifully em- broidered stools and foot-rests began to be scattered throughout the parlor. And when the old deacoa found how very comfortable a foot- rest proved to his tired feei—he wore now a pair of handsome sli ppera which the same tire - less hands had prepared—he was never weary of praising this new comfort. But one person remained unconverted to Myra Layne's praise. All the young people in town, except of course the in- evitable jealom few, were won at once by her kindness, her deftness, her edu- cational acquirements. Everybody had a pleasant word to speak of Harvey Layne's wife, all save Miss Abigail Har- ris. She alone remained unchanged. She shook her stiff gray head uncom- promi singly over the praise lavished upon the young wife; she treatel her ¦with cold civility, and steadily refused to be won. It was a cise of the stern- est prejudice. •'She's a whited sepulcher," the old spinster would say^ grimly, "fair enoug h outside , but withia—"-and an sb^ow flb^ei pf the head would con> THE NEWS EPITOMIZED Eastern and Middle States.
