A FAMILY LESSON. u a § Your last day? Dear, dear! Must you go to-day, Harvey?" said Mrs. Seely, looking across the hreakfast table at her son with affectionate coneern, And hor daughters, Kitty and Margery, echoed her words, «Conldn't you have got off for another | week 2” anid his father, breaking his hot roll earefully ; “now you're a partner,” « “Now that I'm a partner, it's hard work getting off,” responded Harvey Secly: “in fact ,, He paused suddenly. ** « What was all you could do?” inquired Kitty. “Well,” said Harvey, laying down his | knife and fork with a beaming smile, | ; soa we “ I am going lo be vaorrind “here goes! Here's the news I've been | saving up for,you till the last, from a natural modesty, It was all I could do to get things arranged so that I could go on my wedding trip, a month hence. I am going to he married.” Kitty's spoon fell into her saucer with a clatter, and Mr. Seely dropped his roll. « Married I" said Margery breathlessly. Mrs. Seely felt that this was a crisis. When Harvey his pleasant home for the neighboring parently forty years, with a face powered and painted in the most unblushing man. Inor, with thin gray hair Sriiped over a | wrinkled forehead in a sickening affocta. tion of youthfulness, and with a diminuy | tive gally-trimmed bonnet perched there- lon; with an affected, mincing gait, and | a simpering smile, “This 1s my wife,” Harvey repeated; | “have you no welcome for her?" | The bride tittered, { ** Mebbe they think I ain't good enough for 'em, dear?” she observed tartly. “ Impossible, my pet,” Harvey re- sponded, and patted her falsely-blooming chook affectionately; ‘besides, if you were but a shadow--a caricature of your own beautiful self, they were prepared for the worst.” Yes, they had all sald repeatedly, that “it could not be worse.” But this wretched, wrinkled, bedizened creature had they dreamed of this? Harvey watched them with an undis- turbed smile--his father, turning away at last, and rubbing his forehead with his handkerchief weakly; Mrs. Seely, gazing | nt her daughter-in-law with a dreadful | fascination, and the girls sinking Into { chairs In dismayed silence | * Well, mother,” said Harvey lightly, | * of course a new addition to the family {is an object of interest; but don't forget {that I have an appetite, and getting { married has rather improved it. Take | off your bonnet, my own. Here, Kitty!” Kitty came forward to receive the mar- | vellous combination of beads and silk | | | | flowers held out to her with a disgusting alr of sprightliness, “ Turtle soup!” the bride observed, i looking round the table with a girlish their only son—had left | city, they had all expected great things of | him. He had proved himself possessed of remarkable business qualities; he had | risen quickly, and had reently exceeded | their wildest ambitions by being made a junior partner of his firm. i All that now remained to be desired was his safe conquest of a beautiful and : aristoeratic young wife. i It was not to he wondered at, therefore, | that the girls were trembling with eager- | ness; that Mr. Seely fumbled with his watch chain in nervous suspense, and that Mrs. Seely opened her lips twice be- fore she found strength tosay: 3 Re “Who is she?” I “She is a Miss Dora Berdan, at present,” | said Harvey smilingly. tf ** Berdan?" Mrs. Seely repeated, and raised her brows Inquiringly. “1 don't think I have heard of the family.” — « “Not at all likely,” Harvey rejoined. “They are quiet people.” - “is + “ Berdan!” Mrs. Seely repeated mus- ingly. ‘No; I have not hoard of them. Where do they live?” mm. =, »3 ~~ “In Weyman Street.” oo § Mrs. Seely fell back in her chair with a little gasp; her husband turned a dis. mayed face upon his son, and Kitty and Margery gave a little scream. = “Not Weyman Street, Harvey?” said his 'ather appealingly. a ‘Certainly — Weyman Street.” * “But she is not family, living in Weyman Street? Mrs. Seely anxiously. “The family is quite respectal Dora's mother is a widow.

How sensible pro sumably sensible people,” Harvey cor- rected rather bitterly, “ ean say, in re gard to a person they have never seen, that ‘it could not be worse,’ is past my comprehension.” We will not talk of it,” sald Mr=, Beely, holding up a restraining hand “Discussion will not mend matters, And You are to be married next month?" “One month,” Harvey rejoined. Of course you will all be there?” - i» “By no means,” said his father shortly. x * “You could hardly expect it,” said Mra.

If this is all, when a young man calls to see a young lady, send him into the pantry to taste the bread and cakes that she has made, or send him to sec the pecdle-work and bed-mak- lag, or put a broom in her hauds aud send him to witness its use, Such things are important, and the wise young msn will quietly look after them, Bot what the true man most wants of a wife is ber comp nionship, sym- pathy, and love, The way of life has places in it, and a man needs a com panion with him. A man is sometimes overtaken with misfortune; he meets a failure and defeat, trials and temptations be- set him, and he needs one to stand by and sympathize with] him. He has some stern battles to fight with poy- erly, with enemies, and with sin, and be needs a woman who, as he puts an arm around her, feels that he has s mething to fight for, and will help him to fight, who will put her lips to his ear and whisper words of comfort aod her band to his heart and impart vew inspiration. — A A— THE YOUNGEST COWBOY The youngest cowboy in the world is at prosent visiting this city, says a Fort Worth (Texas) lester to the Chi cago News He is Logan Mulball, a herd owner in the Cheyenne nation, and he is just a month or +0 Over six yesrsold- The boy owns over a head of cattle, bas his own barnd, which is duly registered, and he does fully as much of his own work soy boy of six has done, even in the West.
