He came out with < Bob in one pf the

.a quiet
way than any person I' ever saw ;
and it seemed a very high 't.ompli

was eating, his grave v owl:like eyes
were' fixed upon fluids, though why
I can't say, as I always did the cook

over,aien to the furnishing up of

but that all eould be right. It seem
ed as natural to me as seed-time and
harvest - that Hulda shduld marry
David, and walk Op the aisle in her
plain' silk gown and close bonnet,
and everybody should say what a
sweet wife was the. young pastor's.
But in the meantime Bob married
a Fashionable city girl, and in the hot
seasons he brought his wife and chil
dren home. 1 couldn't find mueb
fault with the gifii, thoogh 1 tried
hard enough ; she spent too). much
time distorting her. pretty halr out of
its natural comliness, and put as
many queer artificial hump; about
her as a- camel ; but she had a win
some, cheery. way with her. and I al
ways had a weakness for 'beauty, be
it in man, Woman or beast; and, be.
sides, she always had a good word
for the young p rson, often luring
Marley away with her coqut try and
wiles, so that David could have a
word with fluids.

mall now, and one of the partners of
Marley & Brothers; but before Ju
dith went away. she 'gave' me what she
called a piece of her mind. By the
grace of heaven it. happened that
Heide said one little word or two in
my - defense, when the termagant
turned upon her, and,among other
insults, accused her of' : entrapping
her brother into a marriage. :Hulda
did not reply,-but there , was some
thing in her face thaffrightened Jim
dith. She tried to.eat the, mischiev
ions words, but I knew.that the Mar
ley line was broken. Poor Bob took
up his wife's . quarrel, though one
could see this second"honeymoon. of
his had rather a bittet. flavor.' I f
sorry for him and the three poor li
tie stepchildren, as they went sober- i
ly down to their fine new house. •
I had Hulda to. myself now, and
will confess that I left no stone un
turned to accomplish my piirpose. I
sriared . neither her .suitor's age nor
his• infirmities, and repeated, with ,
many a sly exaggeration, the, taunt
of Judith. So all poor Marley's en
treaties, and the threats and wrath of
Bob, were unable to med the mis
chief of one woman's tongue. Hulda
gave up Marley, and settled down
with' me to old-maidenhood and the
dreary monotony of keeping board
ers. Even llulda was past middle
age when she came down to me that
morning on the kitchen • floor. As I
said, there was , no necessity . for Hul- ,
da's remaining among the
_rust and
roaches, the clatter of the dishes, and
the hustle of ihe black 'serving-maids. ,
I had keptUde the lady manager'
li
of the house. Her laces were real,
while mine w re any two - penny . cheat- •' ,
cry. that cam to hand ; she rustled
in her silks while I got about in a
gingham gown ; 'but we worked to
gether, Auld and I, and the time .
had come , nw when we could shake
the dust. and ashes of this drudgery
o F.
from our fee . It was growing hot
fur that season of the year. I had
been thinking all the morning of the
budding larches out on the old home
stead, and the tender green of the'
willow slips' dowh by the - meadow;''
ilt seemed • to me I could hear the 1
[young lambs bleat, and catch the
im:lky breath of the cows as they
(chewed their early cud. It might I
{have been the steam of the boarding
house breakfast that dimmed' my
eyes as I whispered to llulda: •
" It's all settled. The boarders
must be 'told today. We're rid of,
all this din and drudgery. ~I've•paid
thelast cent on the homestead, and
it's ours, dearie, to havedilld to hold
forever." i
" And shall we live there alone, 1
Magda? " she said," only you and I?'
"I shall take Chine tobelp about
the house," I said ; " butias to living
Mime,' that's what:l. thought we'd
been working and praying for.. You
certainly don't want to take any
boarders along? Mrs. Post wants to
bring her sick baby out for the sum-1
mer, and that young student on the
' secondlooi back is pestering me to
spendhis vacation with us; but sure-1
ly,-Hulda, you would not begin our
new life with %amen? " ." ,
.“
"No, Magda no," She said, with
thata ,little melancholy , '
deprecatory,
exasperating smile of "hers; and as!
she went away she left the germ of a ,
rather bitter misgiving, which - ripen- ,
ed into full maturity when we got
settled in the old homestead, with all
our heusehold gods about us. , These,
deities wore a rueful and rusty air.
There' was something out •of joint. ,
It was Time hi:knit, ao doubt. . The
tall clock, in the corner didn't tick in 1
the old cheery way, but put Iluida
in mind of some w-ary jingle she had
rea4-itith therefrain of "sever, for
ever—forever, never." I never could
see, myself, the useof reading rhymes
—either they ,are. too - silly or. too
grair: but Hulda had always beet

a , preach .of a' moonlight night, for 1

When all: was done; I set the logs to
blazing upon the hearth,*and happily
ki•pt a warm drink in the ashes for
Chloe, who was . still fussing about
the. kitchen. The wind roared around
the house, swinging the branches- of
the trees against the weather-board

any poor creatures at the mercy of

"Amen!" said fluids.
At that moment we both heard
something like a human voice strain
ed to the utmost, and .Hulda started
to her. feet.
" Be quiet, Ilulda," I said, myself
far from easy; " only the shriek

But again we beard the voice;and
,again we heard my name. I reached
for' my cloak and bat, and buckled on
my rubbers, while Ilidda stood tremb

est' child in his arms.
• "Don't yon know us, Aunt Mag T"
said the little fellow. " I'm Bob, yon
know. The wagon all broke down,
and We're jolly glad to get hoOme."
Herwthe little man began to cry, for
his brave heart was over burdened,
and the child in Bob's arms took up
the refrain. , Bob himself was white
as the snow outside, and seemed
dazed and bewildered.
"See here, Mag," he' stammered
out,.'' I've brought the children to
yonto board for awhile. Everything's
at sixes and sevens in the city ; Mar;

but I'll get something in the way , of

them, and tricking them out as if for
a baby masquerade. The hot posset
was poured down their little throats,
and a bountiful supper was given
them of hot milk and buns. •
" There 'II be something grand for
breakfast," I said, looking as greedi
ly upon them as ever poor Marley did
upon Ilulda,._ How the old kitchen
echoed with their romps and capers !
They Were all handsome, every one
of them, with Bob's fine make and
build, and beautiful eyes like their
pretty dead mother's.
"Bob," I said,
_choking yearningly
over the thought, "if you'll give
them to me, 'the whole thitte", I'll
spend my whole life in making them
happy ; and after I'm gone, they shall
. have the homestead and every penny
I've got in the world."
" Yea, yea," said Bob. who had
never ceased shivering, and was now
as hot and red as , he had been white
'and cold, " I'll pay their board, Mag
da- this is only a temporary trouble.
I ope to get a clerkship, quite a lu

never get through the storm—never!

ray poor brother in a louu voice. "and
keep the tail of my coat firm in your

He got upon his feet, and seemed
to be plodding through the storm,
and as be made his way to the kitch

on which to rest their structure.. Now
for this purpose,the years of youth are

Obedience to parents or guardians
became a burden—they wanted to be
independent and do as they pleased.
To acquire good habits was not
their liking they wanted to choose
their own associations, and indulge
in ithatever they thought was right
or a pleasure. All that
,take such a
course put themselve in great danger
and in most of cases miss *their aim
and are , disappointed. It is farbet
ter not to be so anxious, to be con
tent with the opportunities of learn
ing, to obey the directions;of parents
and guides, and become fixed and
strong in good habits. Then, there
is a - better preparation , to, build a
gobd,-useful and successful life.
One thing is of especial importance
before you start out in the world as
Men and.women ;' that is, to possess
if• Christian character: This is a
strength, 'a guide and protection
which you most heed, and which will
ensure you an honorable and slices's
tut course. Therefore, make good
use of the Sunday-school, learn and
treasure up in your hearts the truths
and principles of the Bible, and give
:yourselves to God as His children,
through faith in Jesus. Byall'means
do thii—becorne truly members, of
the Church. Do not' think to wait
in this matter . until you get old. YOu
need it most when yonna , and it will
then do you the most g ood. . Persons
not connecting themselves with the
Church when young, seldom do so
when old. Even if they do when
old, they have lived the greater part
of their lives without etjoying her

ought" to have .done. Make your
start in life right - and good.
