THE FEAR OF BEING AN OLD MAID
EY MRS. E. B. HALL.
When I was a little girl, I was . a fat,
merry, jolly dumpling, as happy as the
day was long. PVC? ybody pinched
my red cheeks, and I- waddled about
with my doll in my pi.UMp arms,
.find
ins, fun in everything;•aad fully believ
ing that my doll was as sensible as my
snit.; and perhaps she was, almost.
But, though I had a natural antipathy
to a spelling-bunk, and uo fondness
fin* spending a long summer's after
noon in poking a needle in and but of
a bit of calico; though I Considered
patchwork all foolishness, and igu.s
sets as utter superfluities; though I
was called a simpleton for asking my
mother why :die cut cloth up and , then
sewed it together again, still, I was
fond of picking up ideas alter my own
fashion. Wlien - the wise people
around me supposed I was thinking
of nothing but My play; my two little
cars were °pan to every word spOken
in my hearing. And many were the
words impressed on my memory,
_which the speaker forget next mo
ment. The talk, around me was my
teal education; as it is of all children,
send them to iVhat school you may.
When I WAS ten years old, I had
mie sister aged fifteen, and another
seventeen; and, as usual with girls .of
that age, they had a set of • cronies,
some very like and some quite unlike
them in charactei:. Oue. afternoon . , as
I was tending my doll Ophelia, who.
was sick in bed" ,heard a brisk dis
cussion amoag these girls,. which, I
may almost say, decided my fate, for
life.
The first words that caught my at
tention came from an animated, re
mantic girl. of sixteen . , scohling
cau•:o the heroine of a novel she had
just read was left unmarrie l l at the
end of the story ! • What surprise was
expressed at this catastrophe! what
indignation ! -
-One of my sisters did ‘ not seem .to
sympathize .with this burst .of disap
probation, and then — came •the pithy
question, "What, would you be wil
ling to die an old maid?" Mary said
very vietly, "Yee.and sister• Ellen
added, "So would I!"
Then such looks of amazement and
inct , .s.dulity. "You can't mean what •
you say," cried one.. "If I did not
know you too well to think you. a hy
pe ocrite,—" said another. "Why, iti
was =hut that all women should
married!". exclaimed :"Then
why are they not all married?" asked
Mary, with her usual simplicity. .
Eager and.hot'g,i•ew the controrver
sy,•and I lost not a.word, while Ophe-:
lia lay - flat on ber'itiff
arms sticking out; and her croup quite •
forgotten. ,Then first did I take notice
of that terrible combination of mono
syllables, " Old . Maid." In how.
'many different tones contempt,,
dread, and deprecation, did' I heal. it
tittered by those juvenile voices!, what,
anecdotes came forth abaut,the cross

You may be sure that the next time
theseladiCs camp t 0. .. our house,,
scanned very closely the face of Miss
Z., a face that: I had alivAys loved be
fore; but new . I. saw that it_ was ex
ceedingly plain.. I looked hard at
Miss Y.'s drab-coloied bonnet and
shawl, perceived that they were' old
fashioned and ordinary, and Alm . her
green spectacles looked pedant:ie. =
Then Miss X. beside whom I had
al
ways SqUeezed in up i on the sofa, en
con' aged by her kindly smile •and de
lighted with her conversation—how
uninteresting she had Itecomei They
were old maids! •
It must be observed that my sisters
—right good,,sensible, domestic girls,
thcy worc—had no par in this bewil
derment of my young ideas. They.
were in the minority; so I took. it fur
granted they were in the wrong. Be- .
sides, what children are evor as much
influenced by- what is uttered in the
faMiliar voices of their own fmily, as
by words of comparative straners?—
Take care of what you say at a friend's
house, with the young folks_ catching .
up every random sentiment you drop,.
'Many a judicious mother's morning

And now, [ assure 'you, my- educa

girl.is taught that it is a terrible thing
to be an old maid. Fools mover show
