' Twelve o'clock and the washing ain't out yet!'' said Nancy Norton, with a frightened glance at the clock. "But I've had such a sight o' set-backs! I'll have to wait a spell now till the hired men Lave had their dinner." She blew the hora at the back door, then made haste to set the plentiful, if plain, meal on the table, whicti feat she had barely accomplished before Uncle Feter and three stalwart helpers appear ed on tte scene. 'Nancy does make A. No. 1 pie?," said Hiram Senifer, reaching for a second slice. 'I don't mind if I drink another cap o co lice, ouservea JNoan joncson, wi;a plenty of sugar, Nancy, please." While llezekiab. Hooper made a plunge at the butter with his own kni e, remarking, sotto voice: "That to his taste there wa'n't no butter like Juco butler, an' it didn't waie hat once a year !" "No hot bread," said 1'ncle Peter, with a comprehensive glance around the board, "nor riz biscuit eh, Nancy ?" "I couldn't manage it to-day," with a conscience-stricken look. "With the washin' and all " 'Nancy's yesterday's bread good eaotih for me !" observed Lliratn phil osophically. "For my part," said Uncle Feter, "I don't see how these women folks contrive t jputiathe time, pottering around all day, a-doing next to nothin'." "Oh, now, that ain't fair !" spoke np Noah Johnson, good-naturedly. "Tain't no j"ke to cook an' wa&h an' iron for four men." The color had risen in two roand spot-i to Nancy's cheeks ; a quick retort hover ed on her lips, when Uncle Feter inter rupted the unspoken words. "Oh, by the way," said he," I'd most forgotten to eay anything about it, bat brother Sam's girl's to be here to-day." ' Brother Saul's girl?" "Why, yes your cousin Nannie from Bridgeport your Uncle Stn'wei's gai, that's to teach the district school here. Sam, he was inq'iirin' round for a place, an' I calculated we could board her here, S3 I told him to send her on. He'swil lin' to pay five dollars a month, and that counts np ! Nancy looked at her uncle with startled eyes. "But there ain't no room for her ta sleep in," said she. ' She can have your room, and yoa can tike the little corner chamber in the gar ret. One person more or less in the fam ily don't make co ditTe'cnce, and five dollars is five dollars. Hive some more of the dried peach sasi, Johnson ?" Nancy said not a word. Of what avail was it to remind Uncle Peter that the little girret chamber was cold in winter and hot in summer, that the roof leaked, and the rats played high carnival there? She only help Hiram Jenifer to a cu cumber pickle , and replenished the coffee pot for the third time. "There's a gal, nox Brother Sam's darter," reflectively observed Mr. Norton as he sprinkled peper and vinegar over his summer beets "as is worth her salt. Arnin twenty dollars a mouth at teach- in'. If Nancy could make money like that! But Nancy hadn't never no facul- ty!" "I never had a chance !" cried Nancy, with rising color and tear-brimmed eyes. "I've been kept hard at work since I was a child, and and" There, there don't get excited !" said Uncle Peter, waving his hand in a pat ronizing manner. "Gais is queer creet urj. You can't so much as speak to 'em but they fly off at a tangent. Get things ready for Sim's gal, that's all I ask of you and mind yoa have some fried chicken for sapper. Hi Jenifer hasn't bid a bite of fried chicken sines he's b?ea here. And look after the young goslin's that's comin outen the ihell down to the barn I Eii?ficion there's weasel about some here and mind the calves don't get into the corn. I reely must mend that gate pin some of these days. Come, boys' if you're suro yoa can't worry down no more vittles" It was not until the four men had shorHed i ff to the barnyard to look after Uncle Peter's latest investment in a new Durham cow, ere they returned to the hay field that Nancy sank wearily down into patch-cushioned rocker and bursts into tears. Why, wkat's the matter, Nancy? Yoa're Nancy Norton, aren't yoa?" A sweet, cherry voice sounded ia her tYir a lignt nana toucatxi ner suouiuer. Nncy jumped to her feet. "A re yoa Uncle &' daughter?" she cried. " Why, of e?orse I ax I Xaoey Nortom jast like yoareelt Nuned af:er our d old grandmother only they call me Nannie." A smouldering feeling of resentment had possessed Nancy's heart toward this unknown relatnu; but it was all dis persed cow in the light of those clear haael eyes the sunshine of that win ning smile. "Nothing is the matter," Raid she, "except the washin' is behind to-day, and I'm clean dif couraged and tired ont." Where's the girl?" "Where's the girl," Nancy answered. "Then, I'll be girl, to," Nanuia laugh ed out, taking off hergioves and nnfast ening her piquant little cipe. "You go and hang out, the clothes and 111 see aboat clearing off this table. Be cause I'm to board here, father says, and you and I are to be great friends." Nancy looked wistfully at her. "Kiss me, won't you," said she. "Ob, yea, I'd so like to be friends with yoa! I haven't never had no girl friends. The three hired men were overcome with embarrassment, when, on arriving in time for the fried chicken and hot watlles that evening, they found them selves confronted with such a daintily, dressed, smiling young lady. Uncle Peter evinced UbostenUtiou ap proval of his new niece, and it required all Nancy's heart affection for the new comer to preserve her from the stings of jealousy. "I don't see," said Uncle Teter, "Why Nancy can't earn money like yoa do." "How much do you pay her?" aked Nannie, lifting ber eyes to his face. "Me? Pay Nancy? Why, her board and clothes, to be sure. It's all she is worth." "And what does the do?" "Just odd turns about the hou. She did pester me for an allowance occe, bat I eoou laid it doan to her t'uit I wau't goiu' to hev no such nonsens." "Oh !'' said Nannie. Never in her life had Nancy Norton had a genninesympathetio woman friend before, and it was an indescribable relief to pur out her troubles in Nannie's ear. "It's a shame !'' riied warm-hearted Nannie. "Why, yoa do the work of three women in this heme. You ri.e early and lie down late; ou have no j recreations, no holidays, and Suadujs 1 you work harder than ever, because Unci j Feter likes to invite people here for their nooning? to see how nice he has things. Oh, you needn't thick that I'm blind! You are pile and thin, because yoa areoverworked. You don't like to go nny where, because Uncle Peter won't give yoa any new clothes until you have worn oat Aur.t llepay's old wardrobe. It's an imposition, that's what it i, and I wouldn't submit to it if I were you." "Bet," sighel Nancy, "what can I doT' "Tell him once "a;a!n ' how matters stand!" cried Naacie, her lovely eyes tiosliir. "Insist upon fir wacs for fair work." Thus instigated, N.tncy made her plea, but Uncle Peter's brow grew dark. "I don't W3nt to hear no 6uch nonsen3e as this," he roareJ." Wages Ain't yon jjot your home, and board and clothes? What else d'ye want? Why, I never heard such talk in my life !" "Is it yes or no ?" persisted Nancy. "It's ne-0-0 !" thundered Uncle Feter. That same evening Nannie incident ally alladed to the fact that they would ail rise beti-tes the next morning, for she was goicfc to give them their break fast and hada'trauob. time before school hours began. "Why, Where's Nancy?" aakel Hi ram. "Oh, didn't you know ? she's gone." Uncle Peter dropped the gite pin he was whittling. Hiram let the two days' old copy of the Wakefield Eigle slip to thefljor; Noah stared with w ide open mouth. "She wants to make a living for her self," serenely added Nmnie "to earn a little money. Every girls wants that, you know." "Humph !" growled Uacle Peter. Td like to s?e her make money ! Why, she never had no more gumption than a katydid? She'll be back q-iick enon'i you'il find." "Batin the mentitne," said Niariie, coolly, "yoa muat look around far some one to fill her place, fur, at you can easily imagine, I hive go: my hau J.t fa'.!. "I gue?s that's easy done," sud Uncle Peter, beginning to whittle afresh. But to his infinite amazement, it was cot so easy task as he had fancied, and, after many vain efforts and stinging dis aj point.nent, he found himself with to wasteful, complaining, inetiijient hired gir!s ia possession, for everyone had resolutely refused to do the work alone. "It was too much," they averred, "for one." "It'll ruin me it'll clean ruin me!" groaned Uncle Feter wringing his hands. "Ten Dollars a msnth for one and eight for t'other and every Thursday after noon aai every Sauday eveoingont! And look at theta half slices ' bread in the pig's pail, and my best toeiS, not three years old, took fur cleania' clothes, and a broom a week stumped through; an' they don't wash nnlesj I get 'em a new patent wringer, an' the fit scraps ail thro wed away, and nothin' half took took care of! Don't you know anyone I could get, Nannie, as would look arter things a Nancy U3el to do? I declare to goodness I can't live so !" Nannie knit her brows and reflected. "There's a young woman working far father," said she " capital housekeep er and the beat economist in the world at least, so he says. And since my mar ried sister is coming bick from Nebraska next week, he may be able to dispense with her. But she has fifteen dollars a month." "It's wuth it it's wathit!" breathless less cried Uncle Peter. ' I'll go to Bridge port and see Brother Sim at once and secure her. The hired gal business will be the death of tne !" Brother Sam was sitting oa his porch reading a newspaper, as Mr. Norton came op. "Yes," said he; "she's A amirt gal. The best gal lever had. Thorooghg ing New Eaglander. Fraps yoa may be able to get her though I doubt if she'll come to yoa for fifteen dollars a month." "Ill make it eighteen," gasped Uncle Peter, "since yoa say she's a New Eng Under." 'Well, yoa cab try," said Brother Saa. "Here ehe isl" He firing open the door ot the kitcheo, as! there, making a blackberry short i Al cake at the whitely-sconred table, stood his own niece, Nancy Norton ! "Why, it's Nancy !" cried he. "Yes." nodded brother Sam, "Nancy it is ! The beet, smartest ereetar that ever stepped, and worth her weight in gold." Uncle Peter swallowed something like a lampia his throat. "Nancy," said te, "will yoa come back" here he srallowed a second lump "to me for eighteen dollar a month ? For I da verily b'lieve yoa will earn it." Nancy went np to him and kissed bin "Yes, Uncle Peter," said she, "I'll come back." For the oli man had learned a lesson, and his teacher had beea Naary Norton and Brother Sam's daughter. S-.uvr.l-n Xij'U. Marital Strategy. If we wocld get oa peacefully and successfully, we muat have an eye to the poculiaritiea of temper and disposition cf tho.se with whom we have to do. Such wis the lesson which one husband lately tried to teach another. "It's strange I can't get my wife to mend my clothes," remarked Mr. Bridie, in a tone of disgust.

"You haven't been married very long, and perhaps you'll take a pointer from me," answered Mr. Norris, with a father ly air. "Never ask a woman to mend anyth'mg. That's fatal." "Why, what do you mean?" "Do as I do. When I want a shirt mended, for instance, I take it in tuy hand and hnut up my wife. ' Wheie's that rag ba, Mrs. Norris?" I demand iu a stern voice. " 'What do you want the rag big for ?' she says, suspiciously. " 'I want to throw this shirt away. It's all worn out,' I reply. '"Let me see," she demand a "But I ps the garment behind my back.

Then there are the .sidewalk cranks, who always step on each third or forth crack, according to the w i lth of the boards, or, if they are walking on a pavement, they step between and oa the (racks. After these come the stair cranks. They wouldn't teli it to any one if they were asked about it, but the fact is that these persons always start up stairs left foot first and feel badiy if the right foot doesn't strike the top of the sta:rs lir.-t. These persons, I may remark, are usual ly those who have beva at'licted with a semi-iurutary' education, as are those sock an-! shoe cranks who p:t their hosiery and lo3tg"ar on the kf: f j?i first. Then some men Lave a piciiiar way of entering a room. They will always enter with a certain foot formest and their exit w ill be mule in the sarae way. And, great Scott! I might go on for a year about cranks and never get through The New Year. Among the Latin Christian countries there were seven different dates of be ginning the new year. March !, Janu ary 1, December 25, March 23, used in two ways first by beginning the year nine months sooner than at present ; second by beginning it three months later at Ulster and on the feast of As cension. The U3ae of the Sims country has varied at different times. In France under the Merovingians the year begius oa March 1. The Cirlovinsiias begin their year on D?cember 2-", and the Ctyetias at Ulster. The Romans, till Gear's time began the year on March 1, and an illustration of the reluctance to change cam?e is seen in the fact, 1 thongh the names September, October, November and December originally denoted the number of the months, they are cow grossly inapplicible. The Egyptians, Chaldean, Persians, Syrians, Phoenicians and Carthagenian3 began their year in the autumn, as did the Jews their civil vear. Don't Omit Yhem.
