Now, Mary E wily, what I want to speak about is, that baby of ourn, our youngest and last of four, our Madge ®ve is lost at that age now to begin thinkin of heviu beaux; and the worst of it is she's powerful han’some, the and ghe needs a tight rein and the closest vigi'ance to keep her foom givin these #ap-deanded lauds a chance to fall mn love with ber. I moet say, Mary Ewily, tho' | don’t want to hurt your feeling, you are not, and never have ben, half nor quarter strict enough in your government of our children; you give em too many chances to go it. Gad lin the streets 1s poor business, and gaddin off tv church sociables and the like is poor business, too. Ef it hadn't been fer your lowin the other three girls to go to them evenin geths erin’s they wouldn't & one of em ben gone to-day; as it is, the hull three of em are married. Ef our last and all goes and gets married our home'll be broken up sure, and its our dooty try hard to keep her with us 0, Taomas, tis the same old story; you're always borrowing ahont onr girls, and heller d eould nit be found, Madge yet sixteen, and 1 dare say thioks of the men, and has ne had a bean 80 declare war ne r Rather queer that you azainst vi vet all who dare to look at your daughters, when we think how very young I Thomas, when we were married.

Now, I hev goes a prowlin round, a watchi a lokin fer these scamps that’s alw ays after a pretty girl. Before I gave neighbor Wells a lease fer the house and lot jining this one, I took mighty good care to inquire ef he'd auy grownup sons, or single relatives of the male persuasion on his side or his wife's side that ever stopped with em. He told me they had none, so let him the house. Now, fer the past week I've seen a dandy dressed fel ler over there, and, what's more, [.ve seen him a lookin and leerin over this way at our Madge. Last night, when she and Wells’ little girl were playin eroquet, he had the boldness to stand there like as if he was star- zin, and I see his eyes dead set on Stadge more’'n once, Now, | won't bevit,s0 I've jest had the lumber brought to build a high fence, and to- morrer my carpenter puts up the most towerin fence that dude across the way ever see by a long shot.

The subject of Mr, Morley's anxiety entered —as radiant and sun- ny & creature as one's fancy paint. Dropping school books in one place. music in another, hat in an other, she made her way direct to her fa her, and administered the Joudest kiss on his fat chek she was capable of producieg, bringing a glow to his countenance aud ard a brightness to his eye that banished all trouble Madge did not believe in reserving ber smiles and good naiure for state occasions, but ever brought sunshine sad smiles to gladden the hearts of dear home folks. Mr. Morley wos wader a cloud from the time Madge Iefs him ll she returned, Well, Madgd, give us some music; play me a rollickin jig. No hiferla- Hu tunes fer me. Sealing herself at the pisno she played galops and horopipes, jigs and racquets till she had exhausted her re, wondering, meanwhile, why she received no encore. Tarn- ing from the plano, she discovered COMmes could | {erty {in 15840, { val she began her nomadic life, and | bas visited every section of this About my pretty gazelle, and wondering if she'll ever leave us as | the other three did. Never fear of losing me, papa, for I am too untamed and wild for any one to love bat you; so I an going to be { pop's dear old maid, only vot a real | prim one, for 1 never can give up my | out-door sports, and shall never get | too old or infirm to ride horseback. T.T. Morley was a self-made man, | a good man and a rich man, but a { terror to all the marriageable mas- { euline fraternity, for he idolized his | daughters, and thought no man good | enough for hem, It had ever be n his all-absorbing hobby to keep them single; but he | had failed to do so, as the three oldest | bad by some preordained fate mar | ried their hearts choiee, and with the | mother's consent only. Mr. Morley, | celebrated throught the village aud { for a radius of miles around the vil lage as being a man-chaser and a { man-hater, would consent to no man { taking, “till death did them part,” | one of his girls He relented, how, | ever, to the extent of presenting a {house and lot to each individual { daughter after the irrevocable deed | was done, | Mr, Morley's fears regarding the | neighboring young man were not groundless, Few could look upon Madge Morley in ber “rich warm beauty, full of life and purity, with out loving her; and Lee Barnard, the | object of Mr. Morley’s suspicions, was | not an exception, He was prospect. ing in this Western town, with a vi. w of locating, and, since Madge Morley | had unconsciously stolen his for it was love at first sight, his de cision was quickly made. He would invest in 8 -property, and settle there with hopes, very faint hopes, however, of winning this beautiful prize. Thomas, said Mrs. this look much like love very sson’ On looking out of the window upon a large orchard, Mr. Morley saw, at e topmost bough of a cherry az=lle, Her penchant climbing trees was something beyond had spied some h she covets i, and as it was beyond the f her arms, a long pole, she proceeded to the tree as gracefully as any The fruit hers. Her father beheld her perched aloft in that undignified position, swayed back and forth by the mild summer breeze, and seemingly unconsei that was breaking all rules of proprity, With lips as red as the cherries she ale; dark, langhing eves, full of con tentment, snd her dark hair falling in careless, ripling waves to her waist, beautiful witch of the woods pie Better be climbin 3 hevin be AUX, 5A d Mr M r ley, turning from*the window with a { smile upon his face.

She hea studied the Bible, and has several odd conundrums Ww propound ministers of the Gospel, Bhe is fond of children, and expends her few pennies in purchasing candy for the little while she goes hungry. The Qaeen of Tramps is vigorous, and her long siege of exposure and suffering has left few marks on her despite her advanced age. She left the police station and the board that had served as a hed as refreshed and contented as if she bad occupied a luxuriously appointed room in a hotel.
