NO. 789. EVENING STAR. THE NETTLE [¥ THE GARDEN. BY CATHARINE M. TROWBRIDGE. Jane Stevens came from the garden into the house, one morning erying bitterly. She had not yet learned to bear pain very heroically, and she had been badly nettled. iS What ie the matter, Jane?’ said her mo- ther. “ T've got nettled.”” “Nettled? How ?”’ ‘I was picking currants, and there was a great ugly nettle in the currant-bushes, and so I got nottled with it.” “You should have been more careful.’’ ‘Well, [didn’t see it; besides, it had no business to be there. It was no place for a nettle.” “That is very true replied her mother, smiling. ‘It is no place for #, and Thomas should have seen that it was removed. But come here, and 1 will put something on your hand which wil! soon make it feel better.” Jane’s hand was soon relieved, and she thought no more zbout the matter that morn- ing. fn the efternoon her cousin Lucy came to see her. ‘ 1’ve come to spend the afternoon— mother has given me leave,”’ said Lucy. “Oh, I'm 30 very glad!’ said Jane; and away the two gitls skipped to their play. In an hour, however, Jane came into the house, looking quite out of sorts, and Lucy Was not with her. ‘* Where is Lucy ?"’ asked Jane's mother. “She has gone home.”’ “Gone home! What does that mean ?—I thought she had come to spend the afternoorn.”” ‘She did'nt want to stay any Ipnger,”’ said Jane hurrying sway from her mother, as if she wished to ets f being asked apy more questions. Hor mother saw that something was wrong, but she saw, also, that Jane did not wish to be questioned ; and as Lucy was already gone, she thought she would say no more to her at that time. Jane went straight to ber own room, and there she remained until she was called down totea. When she came to the tea-table, her mother saw that she had been crying. After supper, ber mother called her te her own room and said to her, gently but firmly— “Now, Jane, you must tell me what hap- pened between you ard Lucy this afternoon. 4 heard her suy, when she came, that her mother had given her permission to spend the atternoon. It is not very often that girls de- cline to avail themselves of such a permission. Now, I wish you to tell me frankly, just as it 1s, why your cousin Lucy went home.” ‘+ 1 will tell you, mother,’ said Jane, ‘for I have been very unhappy about it ever since. While we were playing in the garden, I asked Lucy to go with me into the meadow, and gather some wild flowers. But she did not wish to go, because she wanted to come into the house and play with my great doll. She said she asked her mother to let her come on urpose to play with it. I was vexed with her sizes she would not go into the meadow, and declared that I would not bring out the doll that afternoon. Then she got augry, and said, ‘If I wore going to be so ugly she would go home.” “‘ You do not mean to go home, I know,”’ I said. “Aunt Lucy said you might stay until night. and I guess you will be glad enough to stay.’ ‘No, I shall not stay,” she eaid; ‘I shall go hLome;*’ and she turned to go out of the garden. “I thought she was only trying to frighten me, and make me bring out my doll; but the first thing I knew she was out of the garden and the yard, and running towards home as fast as she could. When I saw that she was really gone, 1 was sorry for what I had done.”’ ‘And what have you been about all the time since Lucy went away?" inquired her mother. “*T have beon up in my room, erying.”” “I should think so, by the looks of your eyes. I think you and far both have 2 pretty badly nettled this afternoon, and think it is time that the great, ugly nettle was pulled up. Jane looked at her mother as if not quite certain what she meant. ~ You have not forgotten how you were net- Ued this morning, have you?’’ **No, mother.” ‘And don’t you also remember that you said that the garden was no place for the nettle.”” +: Yes, mother.”’ ““What you said was very true. The gar- den is no place for it. Itshowld not have been suffered to grow there. Go out there, my dear, and see if you can find it there new.” She went to the spot where the nettle was growing in the morning, but it was not there, and she went in and told ber mother that it was me. “So I expected, my dear, for I ordered Thomas to-day to remove it. Now the spirit of unkindness in your heart, my child, is like that ugiy, stinging nettle. Do you think it should be suffered to grow there? Think of the mischief it has done, and the pain it has caused to-day. Lucy came here this afternoon hoping to have a very —- visit, and a grand time with your doll, which, having seen but once, is quite an attraction to her. When she came, you both skipped into the garden as happy as lambs; but your unkindness has spoiled it all, She was your guest, and you kuow you should have done all you could to make her visit pleas@™t. But instead of doing this, you were disobliging and positively up- kind, and your unkindness, doubtless, sent her home feeling very unhappy. Don’t you think it caused her more pain than the nettle did this morning? Don’t you think it worse to have te heart stung than hands? And this same ugty nettle has stung you as well as Lucy. Is it notso? Had you not rather bear the pain of being nettled this morning than the self-reproach you have felt for treating her as you did »”’ “Yes, mother, I am sure I had; for I have been very unhappy this afternoon.” * The nettle in the garden has been pulled up and thrown away. What shall be done with that ugly weed of unkindness and selfish- ness which has sprung up in your heart? Would it not be a fine plan, if that could be ulled up too? So long as it remains it will bs stinging some one as it has this afternoon. Who do you suppose planted the nettle in the garden?” ** Planted the nettle, mother! I never heard of such a thing as planting a nettle. They come up of themselves quite fast enough.’’ “Did you ever hear of corn and potatoes coming up of themselves ?”’ . ** No, motker, I guess Thomas would like it if they would.”’ “So it is with our hearts, my daughter. They may be compared to a garden. The wetds of unkindness, selfishness, and pride come up of themselves. They need no culti- vation. If we take no care of our hearts, these will be sure to grow rank e! But the beautiful plants of love, gentleness, kind - ness, and self-denial will not grow without cul- ture. Again, let me ask you what shall be done with the weed of unkindness in your heart? Shall it be suffered to grow there, or will you try to pull it up? ie looked at her mother and replied, ee- riously and earnestly. ‘‘ I will try to get rid of it, mother, I know it has done a deal of mischief already. I don’t wantit inmy heart any longer.’’ “Iam glad to hear you say op, bak, yon must remember that one effort will not . Do you suppose that Thomas will never bsve to pull up another nettle in the jen ?”” “I know he will have to pull up many net- ped , J know that they keep growing all the e. ** Let this teach yous lesson, my dear.

Evening Post. Strange Activity of an Insane Woman. There is a woman in Whitney, who, for the past ten yosrs, has been insane. Ii is nit fully known what the cause was that lel to this very peculiar state of the mind. About eighteen years ago she lost her husband, but since that time she has performed the dutics of her household with as much care and pru- dence as is common—oooks, washes, does ail the household work without assistance or guid- ance. But, unlike most women, she spends no useless time in doors engaged upon the nicer kinds of lace work, or even at the toilet She has a work to do, and all her energies are ie tit. As soon as the dishes are washed, urniture set in order, she lights her pipe and Starts for the field. About six rods from her house are two smal! hills which she is at work in leveling. They are about 12 feet high, and on the top contain nearly quarter of an acre. During the past ten years all her leisure moments have been thus ocoupied. Early in the morning. with her crowbar and hoe, which are the only tools she usgd, she starts for those bill tops, and there works till night. She carries the smal] stones to the foot of the bill. rolls the large ones, and the dirt boes down.- In this way she has lowered one hill more than 6 fect, the other 44. The work she has performed is said to be more than any one man in thie town could have done in the same time with the same tools. The stones alone she has carried to the foot of the hill would now require the labor of five men and four oxen two months to remove Notwithstanding this immense and continuous labor, she enjoys at this time the very best of health. When in the house about her work she is perfectly rational, never destroys anything, and is guilty of no cunning tricks, such as crazy people generally are. She uses ber son's wood to heat up large rocks, which she cannot remove without breaking, then pours water upon them, sbelling them into smali pieces to enable her to carry them inte ths valley. Upon almost every subject of the day she expresees herself, !.aving ideas peculiar to her- self alone. Inscriptures she i¢ we'll versed. The word Swz is not properly spelled, she con- tends it is Nas, becouse it nourivhes the ea: a.

She ioe had occasional ¢1- counters with this personage while at her work on the hills. Once be attempted to take hor crowbar from her. It was badly bent in the struggle and her face scratched, bat she over- powered him. She has great faith in charms, or what she calls power-stones; her bed is accordingly filled with these stones which she takes from the hills—also the windows, corners, and various other “pes of the house. She puts them also around hercorn, which she plants upon the hills, and which grows well and yield abund- antly, though all the soil is removed. These stones, she assures people, keep off the witches and make the corn grow.—Bangor Mercury.
