My mother, Eleanor anil I. The tit-tit, pale and pretty, and nilvcr-haired, with the widow's cap and ber drcNS of black bombazine and crape j the swccteHt looking old lady I think that I ever saw. Eleanor sat beside her, looking, as she al'aya did, like a prineeHH, with largo, dark eyes, Diana like features, aud hair twisted iu a sort of coronal around ber tpicsn lyhead. While I, plain, homespun Susanna commonly callnil, "lor xLhort," Sny crouched upon a foot 7 . 1 II utool in t ho corner, mv elbows on my knees and my chin iu my hands, land I was never alraid of work.

He was stout and Hiioi t, vtitu a gnzzioi! niusiaciie, a . a a I little round, bald npot on tho crown) uf his head, and two glittering bluet eves that wero always sending their dusky lightnings in the direction least expected. Uncle B.truabas was rich and w wcro very poor. Uncle Itariiabas was wise iu tho ways of the world, and we were iuexperi euced. Uuclo Barnabas was pros perious in all be did, while if their was a bad bargain to be uiado we were pretty sure to be the ones to tuako it. Consequently, and as a matter of course, we looked up to Uncle Baruabas, and reverenced his opiuions. "What do wo proposo to do about it V Eleanor slowly repeated, lift ing her beautiful jotty brows. "Yes, that's exactly it," said my mother, nervously; 'because, Brother Barnabas, we dou't pretend to be business woraon, aud it's certain we cannot live comfortably on our pres ent income. Something Las got to bo doue." My motbor leaned back in her chair with a troubled face. "Yes,'' said Uncle Baruabas, 'some thing lias got to be doue but who's to do it T" Another dead silence succeeded. "I suppose you Kil ls are educated, said Uucle Barnabas I "I know I found enough old school-bills wheu I a as looking over my brother's pers. "Of courso," said my mother, with evident pride t "their education has been most expensive Music, draw ing, use of the globes" "Yes, yes, of courso,'' interrupted Undo Barnabas, "But is it piacticalf Cau they teach f " Eleanor looked dubious I was quite certain that I could not. Mme. Leuoir, omone all hor list of ac complishments, had not included the art of practical tuition. "Humph I" grunted Uncle Bar nabas. "Queer thing, this modern idea of education. Well, if you can't teach you can surely do something. What do you say, Eleanor, to a sit' uation 1" "A situation t" The color fluttered in Eleanor's cheeks liko pink and white apple blossoms. "I spoke plain enough, tlidu't I T" said Uucle Barnabas, dryly. "Yes,a situati m." "What sort of a situation, Unde Barnabas 1" "Well, I can't hardly say. Part servant, part companion to au elder ly lady," explained tho old gentle man. "O, Unele Barnabas, I couldn't do that."

"Service I Why, we're all out to servioe, in ouo way or another, iu this world." "Oh. yes.

"I can't help it," quoth I, holding valiautly to my colors. "Wo can't starve. Some of us must do somo thing. And yon can livo very nice ly, mother darling, ou twenty dollars a month." "That is truo," sighed my motbor from bohind bor black bordered pocket handkerchief. "Hut I never pa-'thought to see a danghtor of uiiue going out to to service I" "And Uucle Barnabas isn't going to no auythiiir for us, after all," cried our Eloauor, indignantly. "Stingy old fellow 1 should think he might ut leiiKt adopt one of us ! He's as rich as Crcesus, aud never a chick nor a child." "He may do as he likes about that," I auswered, iodepoudeutly. "I prefer to earn my own monoy." So the nexkjnorning I set out for tho unknown bourne of New York life. "Uncle Barnabas," said I, as the train rcachod tho city, "bow shall I lind whore Mrs. Prudence lives" "Ob, I'll go there with you,' said he. "Are you well acquainted with her' I veuturod to ask. "Oh, very well indood," answered Uncle Barnabas, nodding bis head sagely. We took a back at tho depot and drovo through to many streets that tuy head spun round aud round like a teetotum, beforo we stopped at a pretty brown-stone ruausion i t looked liko a palace to my unaccus tomed eyes and Uncle Baruabas helped me out "Hero is where Mrs.-Prudence lives," said he. with a chuckle. A neat little maid, with a frilled white apron, and rose-colored rib bons iu her hair, opened the door with a courtesy, and I was conduct ed into an elegant apartment, all gilding, exotics, and blue satin da mask, when a plump old lady, dress ed iu blaok silk, with the lovliost Valenciennes laoe at ber throat and wrists, came smilingly forward, like a sixty-year old sunbeam.
