"It isn't mjr fault that their husband are dead, and they're left with familiea to bring op. I advised them to etay tingle." .."But it would be your fault," said the mild clergyman, "if they starred or suf fered." ' "I don't see why." ' ;'''Brcaus yon have plenty of this world't goods, and they are poor ; be cause you hare but yourself to support, and tbey have little ones dependent upon them." . , "Oli, fudge !" taid uncle Paul. "I don't keep a poor house, and I'm sure I pay sufficient taxes and contribute to charitable institutions enough to fice me from extra demands, I told both of them how it would be ; but Hester waa always a self-willed creature, aud Letitia bad a quiet fashion of insisting upon having her own way, which was quite as bad in the long run " f Very well," said the clergyman, "I can't pretend to argue with you upon j the subject. I only state facts, and leave the rest to your own conscience." Saying this he went his way. Uncle Pant took np hie pen and re commenced writing entries in the fat old ledger which lay on the desk ; bnt, for all that, the rose-bnd faces of his nieces, nety and Letty, as they used to look flitting aiound his big .' armed-chair, would continue to haunt him. "Pshaw !' he exclaimed, at last, as he dropped his pen, making a great, apoplec tic ink blot on the middle of the page. "I wish that meddling minister had been obliging enough to mind his own busi ness. I suppose I must do something for one of them at least, but which shall it bet Hetty used to have the prettier face aud the more crdrxiug voice, but then Letty had still, velvet-Yboted way of always doingjttst what you want ed before you fairly knew it yourself. Het ty sang like lark all the old fashioned songs I liked best to bear, but Letty would play backgammon by the hour, aud never get tired of the rattle of the old man's dice-box. Well, veil, its hard to make a choice " ' A week elapsed, and Letitia Carver sat alone by the desolate b earth-stone sewing, her little ones at schools, the fire subdued to the fewest lumps of coal con sistent with calorie life, when the door opened, aud her cousin, the other young widow, entered, also hi deep black. " "Isn't it a sham !" cried Mrs. Hewitt, indignautly. "Of course you received a bundle too V "I don't think I quite understand what you mean, Hetty," said Mrs Carver. . "Mean 7 I mean that Uncle Paul Sheffield ia the stingiest, most parsimoni ous old miser in existence. To dare to send a bundle of old clothes to my door, a if I were a common beggar, with an insulting note, 'stating that, at he had un derstood I had two boys, I might very easily ent the garments up into some. thing useful. I declare to you, Letty, I was so angry that I cried 1" ' Angry ? What for t I am sure the clothes are very ' nice, only a little old- fashioned, and I can get quite a new suit out of them for each of my little men. Paul and Robbie are both small, an " "' Letty Carver T cried her cousin. wrathfully,' "you have no more spirit than a wooden image ! ' Letty smiled and' shook her head mournfully.;' "I cannot sit tamely oy, tiester, ami hear my little eaes crying with cold and hunger!-' . -!- ' - "Pshaw F said Hetty, imperiously. "I am not yet reduced to be the recipient of such charity aa that, from a man. like Uncle Paadr who rolla in gold-"" I "It is his own money, Hetty, and he has a right to do with it as he pleases. When you and ' I married against hi wishes we both ' tacitly abandoned all claims to hie wealth." ''"I don't' agree with' you there," said Mn. Hewitt, haughtily . tossing np her head.' "you've actuatly begun to rip up the odious old things "" ' "See," said Letty, holding up the sec tion of a well-worn waistcoat, with a faint smile. "I am dilligent at work at it now !" ' ' r "I sold mine to a rag-man far a pair of china vases," said Mn. Hewitt, indiffer ently. "Horrid tawdy things they were; only fit for the children to play with and break, but still better than nothing at all. What's that you are taking out of the pocket!" the added, with a quick start "A ten-pound note." Mrs Carver unfolded at the same mo ment a tiny (lip of crumpled paper, tack ed far down into- one of the pockets. It actually was, as her cousin had said, a ten-pound note. ; . . -' "Yoaare in luck I'' cried , Hetty. I wish I had. thought to look into the pockets of mine before I let the rag-man have them ; but it isn't at all likely that the old skinflint would make more than one mistake of the kind. What shall you do with it Letty 1" ,, " ,Do with it V repeated Mrs. Carver, opening her mild eyes with surprise. "I shall take it to Uncle Paul at once. . It is, aa you yourself say, a mistake." ' But lie has given you the suit.', . 'He never intended to give me the money. Hester, and I have no right to appropriate it," Letty answered. Mrs Hewitt drew a long breath of con temptuous amazement. "Letty Carver, you are too absurdly Quixotic for anything. You don't de serve good luck if you fling it about af ter this fashiun." "I certaiuly should not deserve good luck if I acted dishonestly in even so small matter as this," "I don't call ten pounds a small sum to yon, whatever it may be to Uncle Paul. Take my advice, Letty keep the money and hold your tongue. You need it and he doesn't and he will never be a bit the wiser. What are yon tying on yonr bonnet for I" - I am going to Uncle Paul," was the quiet reply,- as Mrs. Carver folded a faded black eashmer shawl acros her slender shoulders. ' "You are determined ?" "Yet." "Then I'll go with you,", said Hetty Hewitt. "Perhaps between us both we can manage to shame the old ,screw out of a little of his surplus cash." "Hetty!" 'I mean it Letitia. He used to pre tend to be fond of ns " ''Until we set his wishes and judgment at defiance, and proclaimed ourselves en tirely independent of his will." .. Hester Hewitt shook her head; her wilful nature was entirely unconvinced, bnt she abandoued the argument tempo rarily. Uucle Paul Sheffield sat alone at hi desk when bis office-boy announced i - "Two ladies, sir." "Well, girls !" said Uncle Paul, stick iog bis pen behind his ear as'composedly as if it had been only six days since he bad seen them, instead of six years. "Sit dowu sit down ! Mrs Hewitt obeyed bat Letty Car ver advanced to her uncle's desk and laid the ten-pound note upon its blotted sur face of green blaise. Uncle Paul sur veyed, her. -from behind the moon-like orbs of his silver-mounted spectacles. , "Eh, what 'a this 1 ' heaaked, with, ap parent unconsciousness. "Wbat'a this I" ''You were kind enough, Uncle Paul," began Letty, hesitatingly, "to send me some clothes to make up for the children, f I found this money in the waistcoat pocket when I was ripping it up this morning." . "You did, eb 7" laid Uncle Paul, re flectively. Then, turning bis spectacles reflectively on his other niece, he demand ed, with embarrassing" abruptness : ,"Yoa, Mrs. Hester 1 what became of the ten-pound note that was iu the waiat- coat pocket of your bundle, eh 7" . . Heater hesitated, turned first scarlet, then pale, and was obliged to stammer forth ... "I I didn't suppose I could make the old garments useful, so I sold them to a ng-man. '- "For a shilling?' ' '"- "No, uncle ; for two nice ehina vaeea," - "Two filagree fiddlesticks!" barked Uncle Pan!, sharply. "Toe hiftleS-to make up a good suit of only half-worn clothes too proud to work for yonr own living, bnt not too sensitive to ex pect others to do it for you too haughty to accept charity you're the same Hetty that you alway were t Even the sea of trouble you have gone through j hasn't changed yon, and I dont believe anything will but death.' ". ' !i : ; "Uncle f" faltered Hetty, beginning weakly to cry, the worst policy the could possibly bare . adopted, if she had only known. - 'i .: 1 r ' J k Yee, went on Uncle Paul, rumpling ma hair over his eybrows ; ' I ' put the two notes in the two waistcoat packets to try you two girls. One of them is told to a rag man, the other has eome back to me. . I accept the omen. Letty, my lass, you and yonr little ones may re turn to the old nest again.'- If the boys are like you I shall take to them.' ' "But, uncle," whispered Hetty Hewitt through her tears, "what shall I do V '."Sell yourself to a rag-UMtn for a match box to match your ebinaj vacea !" quoth the old man, waxing grimly face lions. ' Don't tell you I'll have nothing more to do with you I". No tears or entreaties on the part of either Hetty or Letty could move the old man 'a adamant resolve. Hetty bad sealed her own doom past redemption, aad her more thrifty cousin had become a presumptive heiress, al through Uncle Paul's whim. . A WORD TO THE GIRLS. One of our religious papers, in a recent articles addretted to the young ladies, gave them some excellent advice as well aa hard hits, saying "Yonr bodies are the most beautiful of God's creation. In the Continental galleries I always saw groups of people gathered about the pic tures of women. It waa not passion ; the gazers were just as likel; to be wo men as men ; it was because of the won derous bcanty of a woman's body." Commenting ou this fact, the writer says further, en imagiuiog a lady pasting his range of vision, "Now isn't that a pretty looking object 7 A big hump, three big lumps, a wilderness of crimps and frills, a hauling up of the dress here and tliere, an enormous, hideous mass of false hair or bark, piled on the top of their heads, surmounted by a little flat, ornamented with bits of lace, birds' tails, 4cc. The shop windows tell us all day long of the paddings, whale bones and steel springs, which occupy most of ihe space within that outside rig. In the name of all the simple, sweet sentiments which cluster about a home, I would ak, how is a man to fall in lovo with such a piece of compound, double twisted, touch-me-not artificiality, as yon see in that wriggling curiosity 7" With a wap-wait, squeez ing lungs, stomach, liver and other vital organs, into one-half their natural size, and with thit long trail dragging on the ground, he wonders how any man of judgment, who knows that life 18 made Bp of use, of sense, of service, of work, can take luch a partner. He mnst be desperate, indeed, to unite himself for life with such a fettered, half breathing ornament He further tells the girls that the bad dress, added to the lack of ex ercise that is so general, lead to bad health, and men wisely fear that instead of a helpmate they would get an invalid to tike care of. This bad health in wo men, just as in men, makes the mind as well as the body feeble and effeminate, leaving them no powers, no magnetism. He tells those who giggle so freely, and use large adjectives, such a "splendid," 4c, that it deceives no one uuless as eil ly as they arc, only showing others that they are superficially, affected, silly, and have none of that womanly strength and warmth which' are so atsureing and at tractive to man. He tells them they have become so childish and weak mind ed, that they refuse to wear decent names even, and insist upon baby names In stead of Helled, Margaret, Elizabeth, they affect Nellie, Maggie, and Lizzie When brothers were babies they were called Robby, Dicky, and Johny; bnt when they grow up to manhood, no more of that silly trash, if yon please. But he knows a woman of twenty-five years, and she Is as big as both his grand mothers put together, who insists on be ing called Kitty, and her real . name is Catharine ; and although her brain is big enough to conduct affairs of state, she does nothing but giggle, cover up her face with her fan, and exclaim, once in four miuutes, "Don't now ! you are real mean " He wants to know how a man cau propose a life partnership to so silly a goose. He denies the common remark that most sensible men are crazy after butterflies of fashion. Occacionallw a man of brilliant success may marry a silly, weak woman, but nineteen times in twenty, sensible men choose sensible wo men. In company tbey are very likely to ebat and toy with those overdressed and forward creatures, but they don't ask tbem to go to the alter with them Girls must also remember that among the young men ia the matrimonial market, only a small number are independently rich, and in America such very rarely make good husbands. But the number of thoe who are just beginning in life, who are filled with noble ambition, who have a future, is very large. But such will notVthey dare not. ask girls to join them, while they see tbem so idle, silly, and so gorgeously attired. .. Let them see that girls are industrious, economical . with habits that secure health and strength ; that their life is earnest and real ; that they would be willing to be gin at the beginning in life with the man you would consent to marry then mar riage will become the rule, and not, as now, the exception. i f .ufis cj-ADmTi3.e.f I ' All-txivertlaiag lesataasm stall sssaafts for one sauan of ain lintt r less. wfftb charged oa insertion, 75 teat, three fifl, aad M tents for sack be sweat insertion.
