AHTIIUB, Mr. Thornton came home at his usual mid day hour, as ho went by the parlor door, he. saw his daughter, a young lady of nineteen, lounging on the sofa with a book in her hands. The whirr of his wife’s sewing machine struck on his .ear at the same moment. Without pausing at the parlor, he Jcept on to the room from which came the’ sound of industry: ■ Mrs. Thornton did notdbserve the entrance of her Husband. She was bonding close down over her work, and the noise of her machine Was louder'than his footsteps on the floor. Mr. Thornton stood, looking at her a few mo ments without speaking. ■■ . “Oh, dear!-’ exclaimed the tired woman, letting :her foot rest on the treadle, and straightening.hersolf up; "this pain in my side is almost beyond endurance/' “ Then why do you ;sit killing yourself there?” said Thornton, « you sen •rhornton’Bn ’ 8 espoct was unusually ao “ What’s. tiie r matter ?

I,don't understand you, Harvey; What is wrong at homo, pray ?” “ Wrong for you to sit in pain and exhaus tion over that sewing machine, while nn idle daughter lounges over a novel in the parlor. That’s what I wished to say.” It isn’t B.ffie’s fault. She often asks to help me. But t Can’t sCe the child put down to household drudgery. Her time will come soon enough. Let her have a little ease and comfort while, she may,” “ If We said that of our sons,” replied Mr. Thornton, “ and netted on the word, what ef ficient men they would make, for the world’s Work I How admirably furnished they would lie for life’s trials and duties !’’ “ You are wrong in this thing—all wrong, continued the husband. . “ And ns to ease ana comfort, as VoU say, if Bffio is a right-minded girl; she will have more true enjoyment in the Consciousness that she is lightening her mother’s burdens, .than it is possible to obtain from the finest novel ever written. Excite ment of the imagination is ; no substitute for that deep peace of mind that oyer accompa nies and succeeds the right discharge of daily duties. . It is a poor compliment to Elfie’s nioralsense W suppose that she can be con tent to sit with idle hands, or to employ them in light frivolities, while her mother is worn down with toil beyond her strength. Hester, it must not be I” ‘‘ And it.shall hot be 1” said a quick, firm voice. Mr. Thornton and his wife started, and turned to the speaker, who . had entered the room unobserved, and been a listener to near ly all the conversation we have recorded. “It shall not bo, father.” And, Effie. came and stood by Mr. Thornton. Hor face was crimsoned; her eyes flooded with tears, thro’ which light was flashing; her form drawn up erectly; ht!r ttittttnor resolutei ‘ “It isn’t all my fault,” she said, and she laid her hand on her father’s arm, “I’ve asked mother o great many times to let me help her, but she puts it off, and says it’s ea sier to do a thing herself than to show anoth er. Maybe I am a little dull. But every one has to learn, you know. Mother did not get her hand in iuirly with that sewing ma chine for two or three Weeks, and I am cer tain it wouldn’t take mo any longer. If she’d only teach me how to use it, I could help her a ■ great. deal. And, indeed, father, I am willing I” “ Spoken in the right spirit, my daughter,” said Mr. Thornton, approvingly. .“ Girls should ho usefully employed as well as hoys, and in the very things most likely to ho re quired of them when they become women in the most responsible position of wives and mothers. Depend upon it, Effie, an idle girl hood is not the-way to a'cheerful woman hood. Learn and do now the very things that will necessarily he required of you in after years, and then you will have a required faeultyi Habit and skill make easy what might come hard, and he felt as very hurdeii some." “ And would you have her abandon all self-improvement?” said Mrs.^Thornton.— Give up music, reading, society-^” “There are,” replied Mr. Thornton, as his. wife paused for another • word, some fifteen or sixteen hours of each day in which mind or hands should be rightly, cm ployed. Now let us see how Effie is spending these long and ever-rcourringperiods.of time. Come my daughter, sit down. Wo have this subject fairly before us. It is one of life-long impor tance to you, ahd-should be well considered. How is it in regard to the, employment of your time. Take yesterday, for instance. The records Of a day will help us to get to ward the result after which we. are now searching.” Effie sat down, and Mr. Thornton dtew a chair in front of his wife and daughter, , “ Take yesterday, for. instance,” said the father. “How was it spent? You rose at ! scveh,T think ?” • ’ “Yes, sir; I came down just as the break fast bell rang,” said Effie. ■ . “ And your mother was up at half-past five, I know, and feeling so weak that sho'couhj hardly dress herself. But for all this she was at work until breakfast Jtime. Now, if you had risen at six, and shared your moth er’s work until seven, you would Lave taken an hour from her day’s burdens, and certain ly lost nothing from your music, self-improve ment, or social intercourse. How was it af ter breakfast? How was the morning spent?” “ I practised on the piano an hour after breakfast." “So far, so good. What then ?" “ I read ‘ Cavalier’ until eleven o’clock." Mr. Thornton shook his head and .asked: “ After eleven, how was the.time,spent?” “I dressed myself and went out."' “ At what time did you go out?" “ A little after twelve o’clock.” “An hour was spent in dressing?”! “Yes, sir.” “ Where did you go?” “ I called for Helen Boyd, and we took a walk down. Broadway.!’ “_And came homo just in time.for dinner? I think I met you at the door?" “ Yes, sir.” “ How was it after dinner?” “I slept from three until live, and then took n bath and dressed myself. From six until toatimo, I sat at the parlor window." “ And after tea?”- ... “Read ‘ Cavalier’ until I went to bed.” , “ At what hour?” “ Eleven o’clock.” , .“ Now we can make up the account,” said Mr, Thornton. “You rose at seven and re tired atMjleven. Sixteen hours. And from your account of the day, but a single hour was spent in anything useful—that was the hour at your piano. Now, your mother was up at half-past five, and went to bed from sheer inability to sit at her work any longer, at half-past nine. Sixteen hours for her also. How much reading did. you do in that time ?”■ And Mr. Thornton looked at his wife. “Reading? Don’t talk to me of reading 1 I have no time to rend 1” Mrs. Thornton answered a little impatient ly, the contrast of her daughter's idle hours with her own life of exhausting toil did not effect her very pleasantly. ‘•'And yot/' said Mr. Thornton, "you were always very fond of reading, and I can re member when no day went by without an hour or two passed with your books. Did you lie down after dinner?" ■ “Of ooUrse not." •• • • “ Nor take, a pleasant walk on Broadway ? Nor sit in the parlor with Bffie ?. How about that?" , There was no reply, . “Now, the case,is,a very plain one," con tinued Mr. T. In fact, nothing could be plainer. You spend from fourteen to sixteen hours every day,in hard work, while Effio, taking yesterday as a sample, spends about the same time in what is little hotter than idleness. Suppose a new adjustment wore to take place, andEfHo wore.to bo.-employed for eight hours every day, she would still have eight hours left for self-improvement and . re creation, and yon relieved from your present "OUR COUNTRY—MAY IT;ALWAYS BE BIGHT—2UT, BIGIIT (Sit tVIIONG, OUR COUNTRY.’’ | overtasked condition, might' got hack apor tion of tho health and.spirits,of which these too heavy household duties have robbed you,” “Father,” said Bffio, speaking through: tears that were falling over her face, “Inever; saw things in this light. Why havn’t;y"ii talked to mo before? ' I’ve often felt as if I’d 1 like to help mother. But she. never gives me anything to do; and if 1 offer to help her, she say’s: ' You can’t do it,’ or, ‘ I had rather do it myself.’ Indeed, it isn’t my fault!” “It ihay not have been in the past, Effie,” replied; Mr. Thornton. “ But it certainly will be in the future, unless there is ti new arrangement of things., It is a false social i sentiment that'lots daughters become idlers, I while mothers, fathers, ami sons take up tho daily burden of work; and bear it through all the busy hours.” Mrs. Thornton did not cpme gracefully into order of things proposed by her hus band and accepted by Effie. False pride in her daughter, that future lady idea, and ah inclination to do all herself, rather than to take the trouble to teach another, wore all so many impediments. But Effie and her father were both in earnest, and it wins hot long be fore tho mother’s face began 'to' lose its look of. weariness, and her languid frame to comp up to on erect bearing. She could fjnd time for.the old pleasure in books, now and then for a healthy walk in the street, and a call oh some valued friend. • And .was Efiie the worse for this change ? Did ■ the burden she was sharing with her mother depress her shoulders and take the lightness from her step? Not so. The lan guor engendered by idleness,-which had be gan to show itself, disappeared in a few weeks; the color ctime warmer into her cheeks; and her eyes gained' in brightness. .She was growing, in fact, more . beautiful,.foi;' a : mind cheerfully conscious of duty, was moulding every lineament of lier countenance into a new expression. •Did self-improvement stop ?.. 0, no I From one or two hours were given to close practice every day. Her mind becoming vigorous in tone, instead of enervated by idleness, chose a better order ot. reading than had been in dulged before, and she was growing toward a thoughtful, cultivated, intelligent woman hood. .She also found time, amid her home duties, for an hour twice a week with a Ger man teacher, and she began, also, to cultivate a natural taste for drawing. Now. that she was employing her dime usefully, it seemed wonderful how much time she found at her disposal for useful work. , . . How cheerful and companionable she grew! She did not seem like the Effie Thornton of a few months before. In fact, the sphere of.the entire household was changed. As an idler, Effie had been a burden to all the rest, and the weight of that burden had been sufficient to depress, through weariness, the spirits of all. But now, that slic was-standing up, self sustained, hut a sharer in the burden of each, all hearts enmo hack to a lighter measure, beating, rythmically and in. conscious enjoy ment. ; , ; [D 3- Some years, ago, an did sign painter, who was very cross, very gruff, and a little deaf, was engaged to paint the ton coinninridV incuts on some tablets in a church not; five miles from C—■ —.
