While I, plain, homespun Susanna cotntnouly callod, "for abort," Suy crouched upon a foot tool in tho corner, uiy elbows on my knees and my chin iu my hands. ('.fie llarnabas liorkelin sit in the middle of tha circle, ureut, stiff and rather criin. He was stout and mii.rt, wtiu a guzzled mustache, a little round, bald spot tin the crown of his Lend, and two glittering black eyes that wero always sending their dusky lightnings iu tho direction least expected. Uuclu H.iruabas was tich and wa wero very poor. Uncle Kartiabas was wise iu the ways of the world, and we wero inexperi enced. Uncle Ilarnabaa was pros perions in all he did, while if their was a bad bargain to be made we were pretty sure to be the ones to make it. Consequently, and as a matter of course, we looked up to Uncle liaruabas, and reverenced his opiuions. "What do wo proposo to do about it f Eleanor slowly repeated, lift ing her beautiful jotty brows. "lea, that s exactly it, said my mother, nervously; 'because, Brother liarnabas, we dou't pretend to be business women, aud it's certain wo cannot live comfortably on our pres ent income, botuotmng has got to bo done." My inothor leaned back in her chair with a troubled face. Yes,'' said Uncle Barnabas, 'some thing has got to be done but who's to do it V Another dead silence succeeded. "I suppose you girls are uducatod, said Uucle Barnabas t "I know I found enough old school-bills when I was looking over my brother's pa pers. "Of courso," said my mother, with evident pride i "their education has been must expensive. Mmic, draw ing, use of the globos " "Yes, yes, of course,'' interrupted Uncle Barnabas. "But is it piactioalT Can tbey teach t" Eleanor looked dubious I was quite certain that I could not Mnie. Lenoir, among all her list of ac complishments, had not included the art of practical tuition. "Humph !" granted Uncle Bar nabas. "Queer thing, this modern idea of education. Well, if you can't teacn you can surely do sometuiug. What do you say, Eleanor, to a sit uation f" "A situation 1" The color fluttered in Eleanor's cheeks liko piuk and white apple blossoms. "I spoke plain enongb, didn't I T" said Uucle Barnabas, dryly. "Yes.a aituati tn." "What sort of a situation, Uncle Barnabas 1" "Well, lean t hardly say. Tart servant, part companion to au elder ly lady," explained the old gentle man. "O, Uncle Barnabas, I couldn't do that." ' Not do it T And why not f "It's too much too muoh,' whis pered Eleauor, losing her regal dig nity in the pressor of the emergency , "like going out to service r "And that ia precisely what it is," retorted Undo Barnabas, nodding bis bead. "Service I Why, we're all out to service, ia one way or another, ia this world." "Oh. yes, I know loitered poor Eleanor, who, between her distaste for tb propesttd plan and bar anxiety at Dot to offend Uncle Barnabas Berke lin, didu't quite know what to say j "but I I've always been educated to bo a lady.'' So you won't take the situation, eh t" said Undo Barnabas, stariug up at a little whishy-washy waton color drawing of Cupid and Psyche, an "exhibition-piece" of poor Elea nor's which hung above the chimney piece. "I couldn't, indcod, sir." "Wages twenty five dollars a month," mechanically repoatod Un cle Barnabas, as if he was saying olT a lesson. "Drive out every day in the carriage with the iniaiiH, rat and I'tttiiiry to take care of, iso lui n house with all the improvements. Situd.iy afternoons to yourself, and two weeks, spiing aud fall to visit your mother." "No, Uucle Barnabas, no!'' said Eleanor, with a littlo shnddur. "1 nn a true Berknlin, and I cannot st ) to menial duties.'' Uncle Barnabas gavo such a pro longed sniff as to suggot tho i Ina of a very bad cold iu his head iu deed. Sorry," said be. "IToavcn liolps those who help thoinselves, and you can't expect to bo any more liberal minded than Heaven. ".Sister Ita I chel,'' to my mother, "what do you! sav t My mother drow lier pretty littlo figure up a triile luoro erect thau usual. "I think my tlaughtor Kleanor is quite right," said she. "The Berk elins havo always been ladies I I sat quite- silent, still with my chin iu my hands, during all this ' family discuHNioii ; but now I roso up and ciiuo creeping to Undo Barua bas' side. "Well, littlo Susie," said tho old gentleman, laying his baud kindly ou my rist, "what is it?" "If you please. Undo Barnabas," said 1, with a rapidly throbbing bout t. "1 would like to take tho sit uation." "Bravo!" cried Uncle Barnabas. "Myjdear child!'' exclaimod my mother. "Susannah !" tittered Klenor, in accents by no menus luiidatory. "Yes,'' said I, "twenty-five dollars a mouth is a great deal of inoiiev. aim 1 was never airaiu 01 worn 1 think I will go to tho old lady, LV . . 1 l do Barnabas.

"What a nieo namo,' said I. "I know I shall like bur." "Well, I think you will." said Uucle Barnabas, looking kindly at 1110. "Aud I think sho will liko you. Is it a bargain for tho nine o'clock train to-m nrmv morning t ' "Yes,'' I auswered, stoutly, taking euro not to look in tho direction of I my mothor and Kleanor, "You're the most sensiblo of the lot," said Undo Barnabas, appro v-j ingly. But after ho had gone to bed in 1 tha bestcbambor, whero tho milled 1 pillow cases were, aud the chintz cushioned oasy chuir,the full streugtu of the family tongue broke on my devoted Inad. "I can't help it," q'totli I, holding valiantly to tuy colors. "We can't starve. Some of us must do somo thiug. Aud you can livo very nice ly, mother darling, ou twenty dollars . 1 . .1 H IIIUIllU. "That is true," sighed my mother from behind hor black bordered pocket handkerchief, "lint I never thought to see a daughter of mine going out to to service I" "And Uucle Ham abas isn t going to no lauyt'jinfr for us, after all, cried our Kleanor, indiguuntly. "Stingy old fellow , I should think he might at least adopt one of us ! He's as rich as Crosstts, aud never a chick nor a child." "He may do as he likes about that," I auswered, independently. "I prefer to earn my own money." So the nextjnorniug I set out for tho unknown bourne of New York life. "Uncle Barnabas," said I, as the train reachod the city, "how shall I find where Mrs. I'rudence lives" "Oh, I'll go thore with you,'' said he. "Are you well acquainted with her," I venturod to ask. "Oh, very well indood," answored Uncle Barnabas, nodding bis head sagely. We took a back at tho depot and drove through ao many streets that tuy bead spun round au l round like a teetotum, before we stopped at a pretty brown-stone ruausion i t looked like a palace to my unaccus tomed eyes and Uncle Barnabas helped me out "Here is where Mrs.-Prudence lives," said he. with a chuokle. A neat little moid, with a frilled white apron, and rose-colored rib bona in her bair, opened th door with a courteay, and I was oonduot ed into an elegant apartment, all gilding, exotica, and blue satin da mask, when a plump old lady, dress ed iu blaok silk, with tba lovlieat Valenciennes loo at ber throat aud wrists, oama smilingly forward, like a sixty-year old sunbeam. "So you've ooina back, Barnabas, bavajoaP laid sue, and brought C'l sam a-ll KM i one of the dear girts with 3 ou. Come and kiss me, my dear." "Yes, Husy, kiss your aunt." said Uncle Barnabas, flinging his bat one way and his gloves another, as he sat complacently down on the sofa. "My aunt t" 1 echoed "Why, of course," said tho plump old lady t don't you know ! I'm your Aunt Prudence," "But I thought," gasped f. "thai I was coming to a situation." "Wall, so you aro," retorted Uncle Barnabas. " Tue-ni(uation of adopt ed daughter in my family. Twenty live dollars a month pocket-money, tho care of your Aunt Prudmiffy's cat and c iliary, and to maUe your self gem ra'ly useful " "t Hi, Undo? ' cried I, "Kleanor would have boon so glad to come il she had knowu it." "Fiddlestrings and little fishes ! ' lllogically responded my undo. "I ve no patience with a girl th it's ton lino for work. Kleanor had tho sit uation offered her and sho choso to decline. You decided to como, and hero vml stav. liin.' tho bell. Prim. land order tea, for I'm as hungry as a hunter, and I dare say little bust ! horo would relish a cup of good tea." Aud this is tho way I drifted iuto my luxurious homo. Lleanor, iu tho country cottage, envies me bit- tcrly, for sho has all tho tast s which wealth and a metropolitan home can gratify. But Undo Barnabas will not hear of my exchanging with her. "No, no!" says ho. "Tho girl I've got is tho girl I mean to keep. Miss Kleanor is toj Ujo a lady to suit ! me " But ho lets rao send thorn liberal presents every mouth, so I am iiappy. Troubles of a Newly-Wedded Pair. The Troy "Press" tells an amusing story of tho vexatious disappoint ments which befell a recently miir 1 rod pair. It reads thus : "George W.
