JMrs. Fairman was a proud wctnan, If she did enjoy misery, nd she had no in tention cf letting Miss Ilenslovr know that the family lired on canaille bread. Obed had bcon kicked in the chest by Black Uill, who was trying to run with the cart, and now be lay on the bed in the family bedroom, and Salome was with 1 iua. Mr3. Fail-man had told the men folls, more than a hundred times, that they ought to tell BUck 15iU ; but she was'nt anybody to bo considered, and no hesd was paid to what she said. There was one satisfaction though ; things bad turned out exactly as the predicted they would, and tkat was tho worst possible. Now as she stepped away from the store where she had been carefully corer ir.g up the little gray loves with a crash towel, she glanced out of the window at the. Fpriug pastures that wore perishing for the want of rain, and where the cattle could scarcely nibble a mouthful' ; and beyond to tho hard looking plowed Held that showed caly the faintest shimmer oT the bl j-5 green oats. The wells were gir ing out, and springs that never bad been known to fail. Mrs. Fiirmans face had a cut-watr outline. It was rheumy aud pinched in ut the nostrils, and tucked down at the corners of the mouth. Now, as she load ed at the cold, bleak, brown fields taken in connection with tha canaille loaves be hind the stove, it seemed plain to her mind that there was a judgment upon them ; and in a somewhat Tague way she connected the judgment with Obed, "who never had been under conviction since she married him," and who had seldom stepped his foot into the meeting "house at the Corners. She had read in the nws papsr that the drouth extended over the whole of New England, and a large por tion of the Western Stales j but it did not occur to htr that Providence was gcipg considerably out of its wy lo punish Obed for lii3 obstinacy and spiritual blind ness. A mnu had ridden early in the mornirv. otct from Salisbury tvilh Whit comb's bill, and Lad threatened to levy on some of the frin implements p.nd order a eher ili's pale, unlesa it was ptid for in ten days. Mrs. Ff.vrman knew that Obed was "drained" ef money, ht.u the pros pect of bcin sold oiU of house and homr a thing which fhe eo i f:en jiredicted wculd hup)ec, seemed dismally r.ea Misa Ileriflow lived Kcrors biO road in ! a httio house tii?.t ajipsarcu to be ulraj9 j in tae sulks. Now she left her j:oose ; heating, ?nd took n section of Deaeon j iJrodfiip's cont ortr her arm, with hr Mrs. D.tcrcs alway-s rejulated her sf big taiioi's fchc-iia kt her fide, nd went, fairs by the ilmrtntc; and the first of stooping, fecross the way. She bad a j May the sitlin-room store wus taken crooked back and a hooked nose, with a I dowu, whether or no ; and now the hocre mouth that hid itself in the bit; cavity of ! was rs chilly s a cellar, with a c'en her face, and which, eorne way, gave one j the linpressicn cf a gigantic owl. ;i,e 1 appeared to bare a three story lLroAt,and ! to speak cut cf tho basement doer. She j ttepped over one of Salome's tlower beds, i where the "sturtions"' could not push their heads through the baked soil, end the gave a sharp peck on the window pane with her sted thimb!?. 'I got the fidgcis filling alone," she be gan, as Mrs. Fnirmua ad runted her, and settled down and let her poke bonne-1 fad back, .showing a ring cf snulf brown hlr on each side of her l'ac-3 duna up with ia bz pin. "You see 1 dreamed of rat? last ni-h?, ci.d it's alwajs a bad n;n. The h.st lime it happened wj-.s just befors aunt Uebbv St ron Seih llaruabj and nis cousin went up to wstch toe last night, and they said Miss 1'ratt, who had been hired to stay thrc, set the tcan'.iefd supper evtr was. lid joti hear about Iliiiun Walkers wife? She was aunt j Derby's r.iec?1, and is ectnh-.g iuto the prei.e: ly ; and jusi as soon as sh? cot br.ek fi oia the grave, went to counting ever ths thing.-, and what do you think ! There nj six of the old lady's best linen sLeela jonn' "Uear me, r-s.i.1 ;.ji's. r airman, com :U2 out of the buttery with her apron half full of diiad apples, "tiicio ari solemn times. .- " Tlie fxpresilou had prcat f;rcc, al- th0U! it was a little uncr-nam wl.siuer it applied to aunt iJ-.bby's t-heuts cr to thirfis in general. "i "tieis they be," croaked Miss llens iow, suspending tba cperation of pe.ring one of the seams of Deacon Brod eip's coat. "It looks as though there wouldn't be a spear cf grain raised this sin sun ; and there's Pave IJ'iodett, une e;f ihem Milleriies second adventurers, they call themselves s.aiii ths world's .-oitjj to be burnt up this year, on account cf the hi;? horn ar.d the little horn in the liook of Daniel. I asked Lira if ho woulda't like to engage ni3 to make Lis ascension robe, for I thought if he didn't come out straight in hia calkerlutioiis, I miht as well have the j jb.'' Salome stepped out of the bedroom with a prucl bowl in her hand. She was a tall till, willi li,jht hair just turiuD a Tittle on fold. It had slipped out of its braid and was hanging against her white neck. "What a mop of hair Lome has got," sail Miss Ilenshnv, when f-he had got back into the bedroom. '"I notice that weakly girls are apt to run to hair." "Salome ain't rugged, that's certain," said Mrs. Fairman, w ho was interrupted in her calculations as whether she could rqueeza out mo!assc3 enough to sweeten the drictl apples she was coring. '-She ain't touedi, and had to be put to hard work before she got her growth. If Sa rah Jane didn't keep school to help to get along, I should let Salome pultcr around for a' year or two; and then I guess she'd get hearty ,- for the doctor eays there ain't anything chronic." "I don't know about that," broke ia Miss Ilenslow. "She looks to me j ist like sister Patty's piil that went eiF with galloping consumption." "Uieer ain't no consumption in the family," returned Mrs. Fairman, giving a snappish little j irk. to the baud that held the bread knife. "Wal, I didn't mean to scare you, Mr3. Fairman ; but then it's always best to b prepared for things as they come along." j "I'm never unprepared,' returned the other elijmaily.

"She may not b-J quite as etrong as some girls, but I fel sure she will turn out a healthy woman. I have told you before, mother, that I don't mean to marry a drudge or a glare. 1 shan t shan't go and look up a wife aa I would a horse.

"Do you think your fath or and me is going to give the mosey we have just worked and dug out of the ground to feed that Fairman tribe ?" "I don't ask for your money." returned Jo, rather savagely. "I shall take what grandfather left me, aud stock a hired farm, and. then I shall ask Salome to be my wife." , He strode cut of the house without eating his dinner, and marched olf to the woods to free his mind of excitement.
