H I N E R Y,
Any one who visited Mr. Norris at his
fine place on the Hudson would be sure
to notice, after a Wlilie. an old man who
wandered about the place dressed all sum-
, mer in a white shirt mid linen vest and
trousers and a fisherman’s hat, and all
winter in a woolen dressing gown. He
was a meek, tall, bald old man, and peo-
ple at first took him for a superannuated
old servant; but, fin;, , his nice linen,
his neat hands, and a certain well bred
tone of voice, if, by ckmice, they heard
him speak, made them ask:
“Who is that?’’
If they inquired of-Miss Belie, the eld-
est unmarried daughter, she would an-
swer:
“An old connection of jfcor mamma’s.
I can’t see why pa has him hero—horrid
thing!”
If they asked Mr. Norris’ maiden sis-
ter, she would reply:
“Onfe of the blessings niy late sister-in-
law brought witli her into the family.
A miserable ne'er-do-weel of a relation.”
If the question were propounded to
pompous Mr. Norris, as he sat in his
armchair on his piazza, or drove about
his property in one of his handsome
vehicles, he would answer:
“Well, that’s a sort of a relation of
my wife’s, a ne’er-do-weel. The black
sheep of the flock, you know. Always
is one in every family. For her sake—
she was a very benevolent woman—we
let him stay about. He prefers eating by
himself. He’s very stupid, very; but-she
wanted him here, and she had her way,
poor soul. I grudged her nothing. Yes,
that’s poor Bill.”

Piano Pointers.
The pianos generally offered for sale
by small dealers are those which have
not been tested long enough to prove
their adaptability to the peculiarities of
our climate. First class and standard
manufacturers always sell their instru-
ments to the largest houses; besides,
these only have sufficient trade to repay
manufacturers for making costly changes
in construction. We are the largest deal-
ers in Texas. Our line is Steinway,
Chickering, Weber, Emerson, genuine
Mathushek and Hale pianos.

A sister’s love! a love that knows
No earthly stain, no selfish part,
A love pure as the love that glows
In heaven within an angel’s heart;
For you in early morning light,
For you in silence of the night,
Its prayers go up to heaven above—
This is a sister’s love.
A love that if you faint and fall
Beneath the burden of your cross,
Will share your griefs and sorrows’all,
And help you to retrieve the loss;
A love all patient to endure,
A love forever strong and sure,
Yet meek and gentle as a dove—
This is a sister’s love.
A love that as the years go by,
And age and days of pain draw near,
Still like a star that shines on high
Will shine upon you pure and clear;
A love’ no absence can estrange,
A love no time can chill or change,
Or from its deep foundation shove—
This is a sister’s love.
A love that still will live when this
Brief life has like a vision passed;
When you shall sit enthroned in bliss
In your celestial home at last.
A love that will unchanging be
Through all a glad eternity—
Part of that blessed life above—
This is a sister’s love.
—Constantina E. Brooks in Home Journal.
Goldfish. Have Fiin with the Turtle.
Fishes are not ordinarily supposed to
be gifted with any great amount of in-
telligence, but an incident which oc-
curred. in a Washington home proves
that they have a keen sense of humor
and are fond of practical joking. One of
the young women of the house in ques-
tion has for pets a baby mud turtle and
several goldfishes. The turtle is frequent-
ly placed in the same tank with the fish.
The other day he lay floating on the sur-
face of the water asleep, and with his
four feet out.
The goldfish saw in this a good chance
to play a trick on Mr. Turtle, and, after
putting their heads together a few min-
utes, they divided into four groups, and,
seizing his feet in their months, dragged
him to the bottom of the tank. When
awakened by his sudden immersion, he
had considerable difficulty in shaking
himself free from his tormentors. There
cannot be the slightest doubt that the
fishes had some means of communicat-
ing their ideas to each other, for it was
plain to those who observed the incident
that the trick was the result of precon-
certed action.-—Washington Critic.

Determined to Get Served.
The Brazilian nabob, Baron Fereau,
was as miserly in trifles as he was ex-
travagant in other directions. It was
one of his peculiarities not to fee ser-
vants, and the waiters at the various-ho-
tels at which he sojourned were forthat
reason not partial to him. One morn-
ing, while staying at the magnificent
Manx hotel in Rio de Janeiro, he came
down to breakfast and ordered a cutlet.
After he 11 d eaten it he ordered a sec-
ond.
“Baron,” said the head waiter, mali-
ciously, “it's a custom with us never, to
serve the same course twice at a meal.”
“Is that so?” said Fereau, and rising
from his chair he left the room.
In ten minutes lie came back into the
dining room; “Waiter,” said he, “I
have just bought this hotel, and am mas-
ter here now. As you will not be able
to get accustomed to my plan of serving
the guests according to their wishes, you
are dismissed at once.” Thereupon he
took up his napkin again and called to
another waiter:
“Now bring me another cutlet.”—Phil-
adelphia Times.
thafs poor Bill.”
But if it was Miss Phemie of whom
the question was asked she always an-
swered:
“Why, that is Uncle Bill. He’s a lit-
tle eccentric, but the dearest old soul.
I’m very, very fond of him, and he of
me. Dear old Uncle Bill!”
Certainly Phemie was the old man’s
only friend in that pompous household.
She it was who went up to his little room
with his meals and sat with him while
he ate them; who saw that he had the
newspaper and his pipe; who had fixed
that little out of the way place with a
pretty carpet, book shelves, a student’s
lamp, lots of pretty ornaments in worsted
and painted silk; who never received her
monthly allowance without buying some*
thing for him.
His pretty, snow white shirts were her
gift, and site saw that they were “done
up” properly. The flannel dressing gown
he wore in winter was of her contrivance.
In fact, up in that dormer roofed room
there were hours that were more home-
like than any spent in the great parlors,
or the big dining room, where Miss Belle
was only affectionate to “pa” when she
wanted him' to give her more money to
spend; and Miss Norris, the elder sister of
the master of the house, made bitter
speeches in the pauses of the needle work
in which she was perpetually engaged.
Sometimes directed at her brother, some-
times at Belle, sometimes at Phemie, but
all worded so circumspectly and clothed
in such a guise of piety that no one dared
resent them.
“What a comfort you are, Uncle Bill.”
Phemie would say, as she poured out the
old man’s coffee.
“And what a comfort you are, Phe-
mie,” old Uncle Bill would say. “If I
was a rich uncle, just home from India,
like those in plays and novels, you
couldn’t make more of me.”
“I shouldn’t make so much, uncle,”
Phemie would answer, “for you'd be a
victim of liver complaint, and that would
make you ill natured, and you’d scold
me and say naughty words. They all
do, you know. Now you haven’t any
money or stocks to worry about, like
poor pa; and you’re not irritable, and I
like to be with you. You’re like mam-
ma, too. You have her eyes.”
“lou are sister Susan’s image,” the
old.man would say. “Do you remember
the day that you came to the hospital
with her?”
“Yes,” said Phemie. “I was just 12
years old and mamma was crying over
the telegram. ‘My only brother, Phe-
mie,’ she said. ‘So sick that he may die,
and so poor that he’s in a hospital.’ Then
we came and I saw you in bed, and after
a while we brought you home and ma
nursed you well again.”
“And died herself, just as I got about,”
said Uncle Bill. “And your father and
the rest did not like a shabby old man
around the house. Well, I was lucky to ■
get a home I suppose, and luckier still to
find such disinterested love as yours.
You’re like Susan. She was the dearest
girl that ever lived. Yes, you're like Su-
san.”
► But they did not always talk thus.
They were very busy often, over books;
over Phemie’s embroidery, for which he
designed patterns; teaching her little dog
a thousand tricks; feeding the blind kit-
ten Phemie saved from drowning; mak-
ing a little well, from which the canary
drew buckets of water. And Phemie
and the old man would wander off-to the

I shall give, and he will return in fall to
be married to her. An English noble-
man would hardly like a brother-in-
law who makes, perhaps, twenty
dollars a week. My eldest daughter,
Mrs. Timpkins Trotter, has married
a gentleman who is esteemed the
wealthiest man in Mineville. My son is
with my brother in New York:—a man I
am proud of. (Now I shall never make
a fuss about Phemie. I only tell you
this: If she marries you I disown her.
You can take her if she chooses. I shall
never give her a penny. She may have
her clothes and,trinkets and go. If she
obeys me she shall be, married or single,
well provided for. She is plain and unpre-
possessing; but I know a young clergy-
man who will attain eminence who only
needs my permission to propose. She
might do very well with a proper por-
tion for him. She has a thick waist, a
large mouth and ordinary features,” con-
tinued Mr. Norris, turning his eyeglass
on his daughter, “but a clergyman should
not look for beauty.”
“She is the prettiest girl I know, and
if I may earn her bread and butter I can
do it,” said Fred Howard. “You give
her to me, sir?”
“No,” replied Mr. Norris. “She may
give herself to you if she chooses to be a
beggar.”
Then he walked away.
As Phemie and Fred stood looking at
each other old Uncle Bill’s head arose
above the shrubbery.
“I give my permission,” he said, with
more than usual dignity; “and I am her
mother’s brother. I think you will make
her happy, young Fred Howard.”
The maiden aunt and the sister, who
was to be the bride of an Englishman, explosives is proposed jn France, the ad-
led Phemie a sad life of it for a while;
but one morning she walked out of her
home in her simple church going cos-
tume, and was married in the little chapel
of St. John. Old Uncle Bill, in his old
fashioned broadcloth suit, went with
them, and gave the bride away. Mrs.
Howard was there, and a school friend
of Phemie’s, and a fellow clerk of Fred’s.
None of the Norris family. And after
the wedding they were to go upon a
little trip. Phemie’s trunks had been
sent to Fred’s mother’s little house. The
bride was not as happy'as she might
have been under other circumstances,
but at home nd one bad ever loved or
considered her since her mother’s death;
and Fred loved her, and she loved him.
Her only trouble was that she must
leave old Uncle Bill.
“That is hard,” the old man said,“very
hard, Phemie.” And then Fred held out
his hand.
“Uncle Bill,” he said, “we shall live in
a very plain way, but if you will live
with us we will do our best to make you
happy and shall be happy ourselves.”

“Will you be so, boy?” cried Uncle
Bill. “A poor old man like me—eh! re-
ally?”
“Really!” cried Phemie, dancing with
joy.
“Really and truly, heaven knows!”
And Fred grasped his hand and shook
it. “You brought us together, Uncle
Bill,” he said.
“It’s lucky,” answered Uncle Bill,“for
Brother-in-law Norris has turned me out
of his house for aiding and abetting you
—told me that I might be fown poor if I
liked. I didn’t, but I just said: ‘Very
well; I’ll go.’ ”
“I’ll get yqur things and take them to
mother’s,” said Fred. “You’ll be com-
pany for her while we’re gone; after
that, one home for all of us.”
Then the old man looked at them with
a smile; looked at Mrs. Howard with
another, and laughed his sweet, good
natured laugh.
“You’re two good, honest, generous
children,” he said. “And you’re Fred’s
mother, ma'am. But I’ve an explana-
tion to make. Five years ago my sister
Susan heard that I w7as sick and at a
hospital, and took me to her house. She
nursed me back to tolerable health, and
was very good to me. Then, sweet
angel, she died. She thought that being
in a hospital meant poverty. I was pay-
ing fifty dollars a week there.
a fortune that even Mr. Norris would
respect, but seeing what he was, I took
a fancy that I’d find out what his chil-
dren kvere. I have. I’ve lived about the
place as old Uncle Bill, a poor relation.
I wasn’t wanted, .even at table. I was
despised by all but Phemie. She, dear
little soul, lias been a daughter to me.
I told now Sister Susan the truth on her
death bed, and promised to do my best
by this sweet girl; and my money has
been growing under good care for five
years. Why, had I been the beggar they
thought me, I'd have gone to an alms-
house rather than eat Norris’ bread all
these years. As it was, I enjoyed the
joke. To think how he would have re-
spected me if he had known the truth.
How he scorned me for being poor, wflien
I was a wealthy man; but let all that
pass; we are happy together and what
need we care?”
There was great excitement at the Nor-
ris mansion when the news reached its
inhabitants, and Mr. Norris sent a. forma]
forgiveness to his daughter.
She was a good girl and felt glad that
this was so, but she only began to know
what real happiness was in the home
where she and those who truly loved her
lived contentedly together for many long
and pleasant years.—Mary Kyle Dallas in
New York Ledger.

river side, where, he would fish, seldom
catching anything, and she would read ]
or knit.. :
None of the family knew of these in-
timacies. Belle, older than Phemie by ;
six years, preferred that she should con-
sider herself a child until Miss Norris
was married. And Aunt Marcia detest- ;
ed her for her resemblance to the sister-
in-law who “had never been congenial.”
No one in the house knew, but some
one not of the household did, and shared
at times in them.
Sometimes, when the old man's rod
dangled over the water, a younger angler
would take his place near him—a hand-
some young fellow with black hair and
the brightest eyes in the world; and then
the hours went by like hours in a dream,
and Phemie felt happy as she had felt
when a child by her mother's side. And
Uncle Bill laughed and told fishermen’s
stories. As for the young man, silent or
talkative, he was al ways charming; So
thought Phemie. She was 17; she had
never had a lover. She was well read in
romantic lore. What happened was only
to be expected. In a little while two
lovers sat beside old Uncle Bill on the
banks of the pretty stream, a^d walked
together as far as the littlo gate in the
hedge that nobody else used, and did
not hide from the old man that they
parted with a kiss.
Fred Howard was not a fashionable
man, only the son of a poor widow who
had made a bookkeeper of her boy.
What holidays he had he spent at home.
This was his midsummer vacation; he
was bright, and good, and handsome,
but Mr. Norris surely would have had
other views for his youngest daughter.
And so, one day, as the two, having
met accidentally on the road, were talk-
ing together, with an expression on
either face that made an old country
lady who drove past remark to her hus-
band: “Hiram, take my word for it,
them’s beaus,” Mr. Norris marched up
behind the pair, and appeared like a
very florid ghost between them, with an:
“I was not aware, Mr. Howard, that
you had ever been introduced to my
daughter!”
The young man blushed, but answered:
“But I have, sir—by my friend, her un-
cle.”
“Oh!” replied Mr. Norris, lowering his
tone a little. “Then you know my bro-
ther, Mr. Whipple Norris, in the city?
He is a relative I am proud of—worth
half a million if he is a cent.”
‘‘I often heard of Mr. Wliipple Norris,”
replied the youifG- man frankly; “but I
owe my introduction to Miss Phemie
Norris to her Uncle William—ah—ah.”
The young man‘suddenly remembered
that he did not know Uncle Bill’s last
name.
“Her Uncle William!” repeated Mr.
Norris. “Euphemia, does young How-
ard allude to your poor mother’s unfor-
tunate brother Bill?”
Phemie bowed her head.
“Young Howard!” repeated Mr. Nor-
ris. “That person has no authority to
introduce my daughter. Consider your-
self a stranger to her henceforth.”
Phemie looked at Fred. Fred looked
at Phemie.
“It is too late, sir,” the latter said. “I
love your daughter, and have won her
heart. She has promised to be my wife.”
Mr. Norris stared at him, lifted his
eyebrows; stared again through his dou-
ble eyeglass, and spoke sternly:
“I have one daughter who is a credit
to me. Lord McTab paid great attention
to her last winter. He has written to
ask my consent to their nuptials, which
