TOM'S WIFE. I
Wo liad just finished breakfast.
Tom laid down an egg-spoon he bad
been playing with, and looked ocrofs
at mother.
"Aunt Anne.I think I'll take a wife,"
he said, exactly as he might have said,
"I think I'll take another cup of cof
fee." "Take a wife I" repeated mother, by
no means receiving the information as
tranquilly as it had been given.
"What for?"
"Well, I don't know," answered
Tom, thoughtfully. "It's a notion I've
got in my head, somehow.
"All nonsense! said mother, sharp-
ly.
"Do you think so 7 said lorn, ap
parently doubtful, but not in the least
put out.
"Xbink so 7 1 know it. What in
the world can you want of a wife?
After all these years we have lived so
comfortably together, to bring home
somebody to turn the house upside
down I And, then, whnt s .to become
of that poor child?"
Ihe "poor child. that was 1 red
dening at being brought into the argu
ment in una way, was suvui to epeait
for herself when Tom interposed,
warmly :
"I'm sure May knows I would never
have any wife who would make it less
a home for her don't you, May?"
"Of course," I said.
"And I'm sure she knows nothing
of the sort," persisted mother, "nor
you either, Tom Dean. How can you
answer for what a wife may take into
her head to do, once you get het fixed
here you can't expect her to forget, as
you do, that May has no real claim on
you.
"That I have uo real claim on her,
I suppose you mean, ma'am," Tom
put in for the second time, just as I
was getting thoroughly uncomforta
ble. "But, for all that, I intend to
keep her that is," added Tom, with
one of his short-sighted bunks side
ways at me, "as long as she'll stay
with me, eh, May ? And whoever has
anything to say against that arrange
ment will have to go out of ray house
to say it not that I'm afraid of any
such result in this case and, on the
whole, Aunt Anne, I should like to try
the experiment."
Mother smiled grimly, but Tom was
so evidently bent on his "experiment,"
as he called it, that she gave up the
argument.
"You can dance, if you're ready to
pay the piper, she said, shortly. "And
pray, how soon do you mean to be
married ?"
Tom's face fell a little at this qucs
tion.

"What 1" said mother, opening her
eyes ; "You uover mean to say, Tom,
you haven t spoken to her yet?
"Not yet," answered Tom cheerful
ly. "Time enough for that, you know
alter 1 baa spoken to you.
Mother, as a minister's widow, was
not much given to the idle mirth that
is as the cracking of thorns under
pot, but now she leaned back and
laughed till the tears stood in her
eyes. "Well she said, "if it was any
body else 1 should say be was cracked:
but you never were like other people,
and you never will be, Tom Dean.
But, at least, you have fixed on the
lady r
"Oh, yes," answered Tom ; "but, if
you will excuse. Aunt Anne, I would
rather not say any thing about her
just yet, for, if it any thing should
liappen, it wouldn't be pleasant for
either party, you know. And with
which veiled allusion to his possible
rejection Tom took his hat and left
the room.
Our household was rather queerly
put together. There was no particular
reason why I should have been of it
at all ; for 1 was not really related to
lorn, nor even to "mother," as I call
ed her, though I am sure we were as
dear to each other as any mother and
daughter could be. blie was the sec
ond wife of mv father, who, like most
ministers, baa been richer in grace
than in goods, and bad left us at his
death with very little to live on. Then
it was that Tom Dean had come for
ward, and insisted ou giving a home
to his aunt and to me, whom he bad
scarcely seen a dozen times in his life
beiore. lhat was exactly like Tom
"queer Tom Dean," as his friends were
fond of saying, "who never did any
thing like anybody else." I suppose,
in spite of his clear head for business,
there is no denying that he was whim
sical ; but I am sure, when I think of
liis unfailing generosity and delicacy,
I can't help wishing there were a few
more such whimsical people in the
world. Naturally, at the time I am
speaking of, my opinion had not been
asked ; all I had to do was to go
whither mother went, and, while she
gave her energies to the house-keeping,
give niiuo to growing up, which by
this time X had pretty well accomplish

ed. But perhaps for that very reason
for one sees with different eyes at
twelve and eighteen ray companion
in the house had already begun to
seem unsatisfactory to roe; and the
morning s words put it in a clearer
light, since it had been used as an ar
gument against Tom's marrying. I
knew that mother had spoken honest
ly, believing that such a step would
not be for his happiness; but was not
he the best judge of that? I knew him
it reflection should bring hira round
to her opinion, to be perfectly capa
ble'of quietly sacrificing his own wishes
for nry sake, who had not the shadow
of a claim on him ; so it must be my
part to prevent his own kindness be
ing turned against him now. Htill, it
was not so easy to see how I was to
provide for myself, in case it should
become advisable. What could I do?
Draw and sing and play tolerably, but
not in a manner to compete with the
hosts that would be in the field against
me. Literature? I had read so many
stories whose heroines, with a turn of
the pen, dashed mto wealth and fame.
That would be very nice, only I was
not tho least little bit literary ; I had
never even kept a journal, which is
saying a great deal for a girl in her
teens, ihe hne arts, then, being out
of the question for me, what remain
ed ? There was some clerkship, or a
place in some family, and and there
was ill ISroomly I
That may seem like going away
from the point, but it was not. I was
matter-of-fact, but 1 could see well
enough what was going on right under
my eyes, aud I had a pretty clear idea
of what was bringing Will to the house
so often as he had taken to oommg
lately. There was a "situation," then,
that would give me the borne life 1
liked best and felt myself better suited
for; but would it answer in other re-
spets ? I overcast the long seam I was
sewing twice over, 1 was so busy try
ing to make up mind whether I liked
Will Brooraly well enough to pass mv
whole life with him, and even then I
had not come to any decision, when I
was called down atairs to Ltty Wal
ters.
Ijtty was the prettiest, I think, of
all my friends, and certainly the li vil
est. Tom called her "the tonic," and
used to laugh heartily at her bright
speeches. I suppose it was this that
made mother fix on Lictty ns his choice.
When I carao into the the sitting room
I found a kind of cross-examination
going on. It was amusing to anybody
in the secrgt, as I was, to watch moth
er's artful way of continually bring
ing the conversation round, as if by
chance, to bear on what she wanted to
know. JJut it all amounted to noth
ae. either because Lettv was too rood
a fencer or because she really had
nothing to betray. But, when Tom
came homo, mother took care to men
tion that Letty bad called.
"What, the tonic?" said Tom. "Too
bad I missed her.
"But fir your choice being already
made," said mother, with a covert
scrutiny of his face, "I dare say you
might have as much of the tonio as
you liken.
"But I go on the homoeoDhaticDrin
ciple, you know," answered Tom, with
a twinkle in his eve.
After that, mother's belief in Letty's
guiltiness wavered. Her suspicions
were transferred from one to another
of our acquaintance, but always with
the same unsatisfactory result.
"It passes my comprehension," she
said to me, desparingfy, one day. "I
am positive I could not toll the right
one ny Tom's face iu a minute, and
yet I nave mentioned, everybody we
know."
"Perhaps it is somebody we don't
know," I suggested; "some friend of
his we have never seen."
"What, a perfoct stranger?" said
mother, sharply. "Never talk to me,
child; Tom's net capable of that."
I was silent, for I did not want to
worry her ; but that was my opinion
all the same.
The same evening it was rather
more than a week since Tom had hurl
ed that thurderbolt of his at us
mother began about it openly.
"When are you going to introduce
your wife to us, Tom? I suppose you
have come to an understanding by
this time?"
"Oh, there's no hurry," Tom said,
as he had said before ; but this time
he did not speak quite so cheerfully.
"The fact is," he continued, with a lit
tle hesitation, "there there's a rival
jn tho case."
"A rival ?" repeated mother, with
unfeeling briskness.
"Yes, a young fellow younger by
a good deal than I am," and Tom s
face assumed an absurdly doleful look.
"He is always there now. I confess I
don't see my way clear; I'm wailing
for her to make up her mind."
"And she's waiting most likely for
you to make up your's," said mother,
forgetting in her propensity to right
matters, that she was playing the ene
my's game.
$2 PER ANNUM.
"There's something in that that nev
er occurred to me," said Tom, his face
brightening. Mother saw her mistake,
ana made a counter move at once.
"But the ways of my time are old-
fashioned now : young ladies, nowa
days, take matters into their own
hands. If she cared for you, you may
be pretty sure she wouldn't have wait
ed till this time to let you know it
that is, I judge by the girls I am in
the habit of seeing; but if this one is
a stranger to me (here mother
riveted her eyes on Tom's face; oh,
dear, my unfortunate word I) "if she
is an entire stranger, i cannot pretend
to form any opinion of her, of course."
"Of course, repeated Tom, absent-
ly.
"Not that I have any such idea,"
resumed mother, growing warmer ; "I
have said, and 1 say again, that to
bring a perfect stranger under this
roof is not my opinion of you, Tom."
I icit my mother s words like so
many pins and needles : for Tom was
looking meditatively across at me, and,
though that was iust a way of his, it
seemed now as if he were reading in
my face that the opinion was mine,
and that I had been meddling in what
did not concern me. I -felt myself, for
very vexation, getting redder every
moment, till it grew intolerable.
"It is so warm hore," I said, for an
excuse, turning toward the French
window. "I am going to get a breath
of air."
I went out into our little strip of
garden ground ; lom followed, i
thought I should never have a better
opportunity to say what I had it in
my mind to say, so I waited for him
by the bench under the old fear tree.
"Sit down here, Tom," I said, ."I've
something to say to you."
"Have you ?" said Tom ; "that's odd
for I . ' Well, never mind that just
yet. What is it, May?"
"Tom," I said, still surer now he
had misjudged me, and more resolved
to Bet him right, "I want a place"
"A place?" repeated Tom, puzzled,
as well he might be, by this sudden
and indefinite announcement; "what
kind of a place?"
"I don't know," I said, for, indeed,
my ideas were of the vaguest. "I
thought you might, being in the way
of those things. Now, pray, Tom," I
went on quickly, "don't fancy -1 am
discontented, or or Anything of that
sort ; the truth is, ever since I left off
school I have wanted something to do,
and had it in my mind to speak to you
about it." With this I looked at
Tom, fearing he might be vexed ; but
he did not look vexed, only preoccu
pied. "I do know of a place, as it hap
pens," he said, after a while, "only
I'm not sure how it would .suit you.
"That's soon seen," said I, "what is
it like ?"
"Well, it's a sort of of general use
fulness "
"It must be to run errands," said I,
laughing. "And where is it, Tom ?"
"Well," said Tom, hesitatingly
again, "it's with me."
"The sooner the better, so far as I
am concerned," said Tom, and with
that he turned round and looked at
me, and directly I met his eyes I knew
somehow, all in a moment, what he
meant; and I knew, too, both that I
could not have passed all my life with
Will Jiroomly, and why 1 could not.
I am sure Letty Walters, who inter
rupted us just then, must have
thought my wits were wandering that
evening, and, indeed, they were ; for
I was completely dazed with the sud
den turn things bad taken. But Tom,
who had the advantage of me there,
took it quite colly, and laughed and
talked with Letty just the same as
ever till she went away.
It was pretty late when we went iu.
Mother sat where we had left her,
knitting in the twilight.
"Wasn't that Letty Walters with
you a while ago ?" she said, as we
came up.
"Yes," said I, with a confused feel
ing of an explanation of something
being necessary; "she just came to
bring the new crochet-pattern she
promised me."
"H'ra 1" said mother, as much as to
say she had her own ideas as to what
Letty came for.
Tom had been wandering about the
room in an absent sort of fashion, tak
ing up and putting down in the wrong
places all the small objects that full
in his way. He came up and took a
seat by mother. I became of a sud
den very busy with the plants in tho
window ; for I knew he was going to
tell her.
"Wish me joy, Aunt Anne,' 'said be,
"it's all settled."
"Settled, is it?" said mother, in any
thing but a joyful tone. "It is as I
suspected all along. Well, you have
my best wishes, Tom ; perhaps you
may be happy together after all, I'm
suro I hope so."
This wasn't a very encouraging sort
of congratulation, and Tom scorned
rather taken aback bv it.

"I'm sorry you're not pleased," he
said, after a pause ; "I had an idea
somehow you would be."
"I don't know from what you judged.
But there, it's no use crying over spilt
milk. You'll be married directly, I
presume; I must be looking out for a
house," and mother stroked her nosa
reflectively with a knitting-needle.
"What for?" said Tom ; "I thought
of keeping on here nil the same."
"I never supposed otherwise," said
mother, "Of course I did not expect
to turn you out of your own house."
"But what is the need of looking
for another, then ?"
"Why, for myself."
"For yourself 1" repeated Tom, in a
tone of utter amazement. "Going to
leave us just now? Why, Aunt Anno,
I never heard of such a thing 1"
"Now, Tom," said mother, speaking
very fast, and making her needles fly
in concert, "we might as well come to
an understanding at once on this sub
ject. 1 am fully sensible of your past
kindness now just let me finish I
say I appreciate it, and have tried to
do my duty by you in return, as I hopo
I should always bo ready to do. I
wish all good to you and your wife,
and shall be glad to help her if lever
can, but to live in tho samo houso
with her is what would turn out pleas
antly for neither of us, and, once for
all, I can't do it."
"Aunt Anne," said Tom, pushing
back his chair, and staring in mother's
excited face, "either you or I must bo
out of our wjts."
."It's not me, then, ot any rate," re
torted mother, getting nettled.
Amusement and a certain embar
rassment had kept me a silent listener
so far, but there was no standing this ;
I tried to speak, but could not, for
laughing.
"I think you are all out of your
wits together," said mother, turning
sharply. "What ails the child? It's
no laughing matter."
"You don't understand each other,"
I gasped ; "oh, dear 1 it it's not Let
ty oh oh, dear!" aud relapsed
again.
"Not Letty ?" repeated mother, turn
ing to Tom. "Then why did you toll mo
so r
"I never told you so," said Tom.
"Yes you did," persisted mother.
"You came in and told me you wero
going to be married."
"Yes, so I am," said Tom, still at
cross-purposes.
"Now, Tom Dean," said mother,
rising and confronting him, "what do
you mean? And who is to be your
wifo?"
"Why, May, of course," answered
Tom.
"May 1" and then, after a pause of
inexpressible astonishment, it was
mother's turn to laugh. 'Do you
mean to say, Tom, it was that child
you were thinking of all the while?'
'Why, who else could it be?' said
Tom, simply.
'Well,' said mother, 'I ought to
have remembered you never did do
anything like anybody else. But,
still why in the world did you go to
work in such a roundabout way ?'
'I wanted to see how you took to
my idea,' said Tom.
'And how did you suppose we wero
to guess your idea meant May ?' moth
asked. 'Who else could it be?' repeated
Tom, falling back on what he evident
ly found an unanswerable argument.
It was no use talking to him. Mother
gave it up with a shako of the head.
'And you won't want another house
then, Aunt Anno?' said Tom, sudden
ly. That set mother off again ; Tom
joined with her, and altogether I don't
think we ever passed a merrier even
ing than the ono that made us ac
quainted with Tom's wife. Applelon's

commendable, and always meets tho
smiling approval of the tyrant man
who pays the household bills. Re

on earth that will muke an old tar
