' I paid mv pew-rent right up to the day, and our minister k‘nOWS how often I had him and his wife and all the child- ren to tea, and how there wasn’t never any stint. and the best cups and saucersgot out,and them child- ren eating until they couldn’t hold no more, and a filling their pockets full ofdoughnuts. and 1 making be- have not see ‘em do it. 1 don‘t suppose you ever was down to Goshen, in the State-of Maine. But if you was, you-bad the oldliAvery place pointed out to you, and heard a kind word spoke about them as had lived there. My father was well-to-do, and so was his father before him. And so'when one by one our family dropped, aivay I was left in the old place, rich and lonesome. At least it looked as if I was lonesome ; and everybody was glad when I took a little friendless nephew of mine to be the same as my own child. I hadn’t no great use for money, and there’s no sense in pretending I knew how to take care ofit. Some has a faculty that way, and some hasn't. And so it happened that. after Fred grew up and Went to New York to live, he got, into the way of taking athou- sand dollars here and a thousand there, partly to take care offor me and partly to use in the way of his business. Well! I never shall forget the (lay DeaconMolrée come round to get the pew~rent. and I had to say out and out,'Deacon Morse I’d give you the money if[ had it. but the fact is.

Fred has been plagued agood deal about his business, andi’I’Ve had to help him along; and then you know I ain’t no- hand at taking care‘ ol money, and so he’s been keeping it for me.

' ' ‘ It‘s the most -shamefu1 thing I ever heard,’ said Sam. ‘And you take it as cool as a‘ ‘cucumber.’~â€" Why, Aunt'Avery, do you realize that you won’t never have a. red cent to give away?’ ’ ‘ We“ 1 hope it ain’t so bad as that,’ says I.

And I always was a fool about such things, and. what did I do but burst right out a crying there before all the people. But I don’t think none of’em see me, for they all passed on, and so I got out and got home, land I laid them two cents down on ‘the table," and I knelt down, and" ago. says I ‘ 0h l-Lord look} at them two cents" I couldn't say no more, but he knew whatl meant. just as well as if I’d prayedan hour, and.

I do you keep Saturday night?’ ‘ says he. I i I I ‘ Yes deacon, I do,' says I. : ‘So do we to home,’ says he, . and it’s- all the same as Monday 1 mornin’ after sunset,’ says he, ‘ so there ain’t no harm a talking of worldly things. And I want to ‘ know what you went and left your : pew lor, and took and set up in the gallery a fillin’ every body’s mind with all sorts of thoughts, and a making ’em break the Sabbath day talking of it all the time between meetings?’ If you wern't so good you’d put. me all out a’ patience, says he.â€"â€"-' The pew’s yonr’n. and there ain’t no hurry about them taxes, and if there was, why we could sell the pew and get our money's worth.â€" And don't you go to being stuck up ’cause you’ve lost your money and making believe humble ; the Lord don’t like them sort ’0 things. I don’t mean to hurt your feelings, Aunt Avery, says be, my ways is rough but my heart ain’t. And what I mean is dont you go to set- tin‘ up there in the gallery, but you sit in the old Avery pew and let’s have it look natural down stairs so‘ we can listen to the sermon and not be staring round thinking to ourselves, if there ain't. an Avery up in the gallery. ‘ Winâ€"y I hadn’t no right to no Other seat,’ says I, and Ididn‘t mean to do no harm. says I. 'l)eacon Morse, says 1, you don’t mean , no harm. I‘m sure, and I don’t mean, no harm. And I'm sorry'l ever told you where my money had gone. It‘s turned vour natur’, and made'ymllkind ‘o sharp and cumin, says 1. And ifs turned you and every body against Fred Avery. and he aim! to blame for being poor. I‘m s'ure he feels bad enough {hat he‘s taken away my living, and we ought to be a-pity- ing of" him instead of upbraidi‘ng him. After hefd genie Fs’eti'éh‘d thought and lhougjjt, 'and at fast I'got‘some paper air a pen 'and ink and 1' wrote a letter to Fred, and told him So Deacon Morse be wiped his eyes, and says he, it did rile me to see the old pcw empty. Aunt Avery, but-"good bvei; next Sunday we’ll 'havélhings bur own wgy; So Fred he promised to make all right and pay me up besides, and he gave me money enough to pay my pew rent and to get along with a few monthsâ€"law'. I didn‘t need much! and so all began to go on jest asit did before, and Deacon Morse and Sam Avery lelt of worry- ing me about things. But I was turning them over in my mind un- bekno’wn to them, and one day when there was only a dollar left,l put on my bonnet and went over to Squire Jackson’s, and says I, Squire Jackson, if you still want to buy' the old place, 1 MW. concluded to let you have ll.“"l am getting old and I don‘t want my affections sot too strong on things below, and snmehow my heart feels kind of sore and as if it wouldn‘t mind parting even with the old place.â€" The fact is, though I didn‘t know it, I‘d get sort ‘0 weaned from this world by satan‘s bothering me and saying : Tain‘t right for Fred Avery to cheat you so! He aint a man to be depended on! For if there was anybody] ever did love ‘twas that boy, and I never looked to see him grow up selfish or mean ; and his last letter sounded kind ‘0 sharp and out o’ patience, as ifI was the one that owed the money and not him. Squire Jackson didn‘t wait to be asked twice. He jumped right up and went for Lawyer Ro- gers, and had the papers drawn up, andl signed my name. And the old Avery place} wasn‘t the old Avery place any more. Squire Jackson cut down those trees my grandfather was so proud of. and had the house turned upside down, and inside 'out. 1 went to board at the widow Dean's and she gave me her best bed-room, and I tried to make it out 1 was to home. But ’twasn‘t home after all. and I couldn’t have the minister to tea. nor fry doughnuts for them dear children. and the widow Dean‘s ways wasn’t like my ways, and things seemed kind of strange, and I began to feel as if it wasn‘t ' La! do they now? says I,“ the little dears !

I thought it was the tea, and that the widow Dean didn‘t make it right, but I didn‘t like to hurt her feelings by saying that, and at last I said to myself: The fact is, Aunt Avery, you‘re an old maid and full of no- tions, and you‘ve no business sit- ting here boarding as if vou was a lady :‘you ought to be doing some- thing as you was brought up to.â€" But .when I. happened to speak to the doctor about them queer [eel- ings infmy head, he saldzAunt Avery,“'a journey would do you more good than all the doctors in the [can't sleep nights for thinking of it, says he, and my wife can‘t sleep either, and mv little children they keep asking papa, hadn’t we better stOp going to schOol, and go and Work for our living, so as to pay’Aunt Avery all that money?
