" CHAEGE1 IT." .
That Is all. this uIternoon,I think," said young
Mrs. Grsy, looklnc; over her bundles In her
market-basket, as eho stood before the counter'
of tho village store. "Let me soe-engar.cofl'eo.
lea, staich, socio, cream of tartar, raalna, spioes.
and a can ot fresh lobsters. The two. bags of
flour you wlU send, 1 suppose?'
"Yos'in," saicj tho shopman, aflor-n second's
hesitation, which Mrs. Gray did not notice.
. "Iwouldy'fco'thombJ'BQycnln tho ovoalng.
If convenient"
Tho clerk bowed.
Mrs. Gray lifted her banket from the counter.
'- As for these things," said she. with a merry
laugh, to which the dork old not respond, ovon
by a smile. " I am not buciI a fine lady that T
cannot carry them home myself. You will
charge tbeni, It you please, flood afternoon."
"Goo4 afternoon, ma'am,", replied itho clerk.
HewasbtalL mlddlo-agod, somewhat BtlBi
mannered man. Somotbinfc.peemod to be on his
mind, which ho know not how to express!
And beforo Mrs. Gray had crossed the thros.
ho'd of the store, ho' had passed down to the
dosk at the lower end of tho'bulldlng, and laid
a memorandum of the things Just "told to her
before his master, who sit tucrty pouring aver
a groat account book;.
' Mrs. Gray, sir," said the olerki t'you told
motoletyouknowajwuf ber next, order, air,
Theroltis, 8ho said' ctiarga.itaa mu.U'. and
I didn't know what Jo do, as .you gayo no tlu
roctlons." '
The merchant lookefl'ovGr the ordor w.th a
ellgtit frown. Then ho turned ovtr a (ow leaves
in the account-book before him. and' glanced
down tho two' opposite plges at which bo paus
ed. Make out her bill, and send lt.in this eve.1
nlng, wlta compliments, and request speedy
aottleraent," said he. ;' Say that I have heavy
bills to meet next week) and Would ieol obliged,
uy tne immeuiato roceipt oi wo money.". t
' There ore' two bags of Bour'aiso ordcred.slr,
Onoof Grnhani-onoof eiipCrfluo, 'Shall I send'
thoeo down to-day V
" Were tboy ordered fbr'to-doy!'1
"Yes. sir."1 t
"then send them, and the bill With them.
Or, stay, Mr. Richards, let tbe port or take tbe '
flour at once, and do you deliver the bill this
evening as you go, home to supper. Perhaps
sho mayibe able to pay It af once. It bo,, you
cau lecclpt the bill.'!
Tho middle-aged clerk wout back to his place,'
not much relishing tbe task, that lay bof ore
him, To draw off the bill was'nothlnij to pre
sent It was much, since, as he fully behoved,'
protty Mre. Gray would not have tbo money on
hand with which to pay b ' ' '
" Ana then eho will'look scatoJ and griovco,
for I don't think -she baa any idea how' those
thing are mounting' up .here, dav by day,"
thoughtthe c.erk. Anl'I know sbo has not
much, to depend upon, except her house and.
garden, and that pension money, that Came to'
her after her husband's death. Tn be anre aim
