The gaslights were burning brightly in hall, reception-room nnd juniors ; tho soft summcc-liko atmos phere of a furnace dispelled any lingering idea of cold or wet; nnd there were groans of merry guests moving to and fro to tho inspiring notes of a grand piano. 'Smith never told mo a word of tho , place,' thought Major Parkinson ; 'but its it good idea a capital idea. Called unex pectedly into the country, cii ? Ah he's a sly dog, is Smith I' . . He plnced his dripping umbrella in the stund, nnd deliberately bung tip his hut, nud overcoat on the elegant black wnlnnt hall rack, nnd then lie came nnd stood in the doorway, both hands serenely joined under his coat-tails, nud a beaming smile upon his countenance, which showed all tho white teeth to a very go.nl advantage.

'1 never knrw that I had such a prctiy cousin,' was Uie Major's internal relleciiou; 'but I dare say it's all right. Smith knows.' 'And here's cousin George and Stephen, nud Margeret, nnd bcr'girls V cried the cherry-lipped damsel, eagerly pulling him forward. Major Parkinson shook hands with them all urotind, feeling that hu hud just come into a large and unexpected Inheritance of relations. '1 knew the Ghundarco would be in to night,' cried one of the girls, clapping her her hands. 'Wc have been counting the days, cousin John.' 'The Ghuudareo I Then I'm all right, after all,' thought the perplexed Major. 'I was beginning to think that there might bo some ackward mistake here, but tho Ghuudareo settles matteis.' Oh I here's mamma !' exclaimed the ir icsistable cherry lips, dancing backward and forward like a pretty littie iJcrvish. 'Granma, he's come I 1 knew he would be hero to night. Come end spruit to grandma, quick, John.' And the Major was pulled along by the sleeve of his coat lownr.l n cllver-haired ,,1,1 luJy UH a whito larc cap, nnd a siring of enormous gold bends nrouud her shriveled throat. 'Well, John, I do declare !' cried grand ma. 'Who would have thought tne cli mate of India would have chutiged you so? Why, you used to bo so tall aud slim liko n benu pole ; but I 6tipposo it's hurricanes and earthquakes, nnd all that sort of things that has settled you down so short and etotit. Major Parkinson did not know exactly what lo say lo this, so ho shook the old lady's hand, saying : 'How do you Hud yourself this evening, ma'am ?' 'And you haven't even asked after Clara, poor Clura ?' chimed in tho eighteen year old girl. ' 'Oh, nh, pardou me?' stammered our hero. '1 was just going to inquire after Clara.' The lass with the cherry lips beckoned to a tall, and graceful girl iu the bay win dow, not exactly young but still passing pleasant to look upon, with large gray eyes, aud soft drooping curls Of- glusJ browu. 'Clara I' she cried, 'come, havn't you a word of welcome for eousiu John ?' Hut tho graceful girl shrank back, blush ing and confused. 'Don't mind her !' said the other one, in an undertone. 'No, 1 won't, said tlio Major.' 'She'll be all right presently.' 'I dare say she will,' answered our lirr.i. 'Hut it's bucIi nousenso !' went o:i the elf, whom tho matrons addressed ns 'Grace.'

Surely it was time for an explanation now ; and ho was just opening his lips, when Grace whirled him round, standing ou tiptoe to ti hisiH-r knowiugly in his ear. 'Don't you want lo sua tho wedding cake, Cousin John Y and tho wreath t ami tho veil ' Without waiting for an answer, she tip toed hiin into another room, pulling him along by the coat tail.

'Only tliiuk of it,' said Grace, little thoughtfully, as she pulled an orange bins I will explain,' thought Iho bewildered Major, breukit:g Into a cold prrspiraliou.

G race's blue eyes grew big; her cherry lips parted what could it be ? Well,' she ejaculated, breathlessly. 'I'm not Cousin Johu nt nil!' said the Major with a jerk. 'It's a mistake I I'm Major Parkinson.' ' You are tint John MilwnrJ 1' ' 'No, I'miiothincof tltu sort.' said our Mnjor, visibly bivhteii:u up. 'Hut I know .Tolgi Milwnrd very well.

'Except that you oughtn't to have kissed me back so heartily,' Grace added, malici ously, j " 'I won't next time,' said the Major, hum bly. 'Hut fifteen yen rs in India it would of course, nhcr any one ao completely,' she said ; 'and what can have become of the real John ?' She conducted him bnc!c to the parlor, where he made hisexeu3i'B ns fluently ns he could. Grandma was n little Inclined to bo oll'ended nt llrrtl, and Stephen, a mus cular young man, muttered some half inau dible words about punching thu Major's head for him, 15ut fuller explanation's re stored a friendly feeling once more, and the pater familine, sensible man, insisted on the Major remaiuing. 'For if you are not our cousin John, you came over in the same steamer with him, and that ouyht to insure you a welcome,' he said cheerily. 'So sit down, sit dowu, Major. You are the rich Kast India nabob, then, who has bought the house next door? We've teased Graeia a good deal about set ling he cap for the now neighbor, haven't we.-wracie f' ..

'I'm clad to make your acquaintance,' went on the comfortable old gentleman, 'oven if the manner isn't quite so formal, as etiquette, books insist ou I My name is Corey Peter Corey and now let mo in troduce you to our family circle and friends!' So in less than live minutes, tho Major, entirely free from the trammels of his false position, was made cordially nt home, in tho merry party und exceedingly snug and jolly he found it. Presently a ring nt the door bull announ ced a new arrival, and thu real genuine cousin John rushed in. all aglow with his rapid walk, and dripping from head to foot wuii rain drops. 'Had no end of trouble at the custom house with my luggage couldn't come a second s-ioiier !' ho explained, hugging grandma and Clara, and Graces nil at once, with two or three little ones swarming over his back nnd Ii-h ": while. 'Why ballon! Major Parkinson, how the deuce eanie ,vmi here V' Then of course ensued a third edi tion of explanations and comments, and then they were merrier than ever. 'Of course the Major will stay here,' cried Mr. Corey, when finally his guest made a move to go. 'To night, at least !' Of course, of course !' echoed John Mil ward. 'Mustn't be, Grace ?' 'He must do as he pleases,' tix'A that young lady demurely. 'Yes,' said the Major, 'Iwiil. ' And he sat down again. Major Parkinson attended tlio weddin? the next week, and he helped to decorate tho drawing room with Mowers, nnd he car ried chairs back und irlh, and wont on errands, losing himself invariably, on their way, nnd lie sent tho brido a solid silver tea service, nud altogether he made himself so useful that Mrs. Corey said, feelingly : 'What xhiHild we have dotio without that dear Major ?' ' Grace, the gips.y, insisted on c.llling him eousiu John just the same ns ever; but from nil appearance i.'iero will be another wadding before the year is out in tho Corey family, and Mnjor Parkiuson's brown stone iiojuso will be graced by the mistress who I was-first sion by. the Major in the wronj muse. , SrtlluiKCES. A Question Tor Women.

There is certainly uo rea son why cultivated women in twos tud threes should not luaku housu-kecpitig un ions and so oi l tin something of tho inde pendence of being ."settled."
