It re'd softly on Granunie, loaning back in her 1'i.r chair, her white hair put BtniKilhy back, her gray Quaker dress with its soft folds of white at the throat and wrists, and the dainty Sevres cup in her tiny, wrinkled hand. Js'an and Giamuile were both very fond of this Are, which was never allowed to go out, and of the big old andirons and the dusky oaken hall. They always took their tea here when the rest wre away and usually Nan had a basket of cones by her to throw into the Oancing flames. But to-day she was sitti jt with her head in her hands, starling with big brown eyes at the queer blue portiere covering one of the bw doors.

I'RF.SSLD MEAT. We are told that time spent in giv ing pleasure to others is never ill spent, so the hnsy housewife ntndies lew ways in which to sorvo old dishes, and various devices to make these dishes dainty and attractive looking, tho suc cessful result of which often affords her as much pleasure as it does tho Other members of tho family. As almost every ono is fond ol pressed meat I wonld like to tell the ladies a pretty way of arranging veal. Select a piece of venl that, as my Hetty s.iys is. "real meaty meat," boil until very tender, put into a chopping bowl an remove all bones, chop rather fine and season well with pepper snd suit, over this ponr the liqnor in which the veal was cooked, hiving previously strained it, to make snre it is free from fino pieces of bone. Mix this thoroughly and it should be quite wet but not sroppy, press, the mixtnro firmly into teacups and set away to cool; when wanted for use, run a knife aronnd the enp and take o.it tho mould of meat, slice in thin circles and arrange on a platter, garnish with psrsloy or tender lea-oof Icttncn. Thinly sliced lemon scattcteil over tho top, is also a pretty addition. In making this or any kind of pressed meat, I nso a little mixed sp'cc, which I prepare as follows, and keep always on hand: Ono teaspoonfnl finely powdered thyme, oh of boy leaves, oaa of pep per, ami test, teas) Kon ful each of sav ory, rnarjoiam, srrate 1 lemon peel, powderod cloves an I nutmeg. Sift all together three or fonr times. To every four tea .poonfnls of thn mixture add ono of salt, keep ia a large-mouthed bottle well corlted. For veal cutlet breaded, I always add a teaspoonful of the tcixeil spice to tho crumbs in which the cutlot is to be ro ed. If it is dnnirod to serve two kinds of cold moat, a platter of corn beef is nice, tho thin slices of pink boef mak ing a very pretty contrast to the plate of pressed veal, which is of coiirso very light in color.

The servant question is one of those which are always with us. It is the Everlasting Flower ot society, and neither changes its color nor sheds its petals. Stiff, onyielding and unfad ing, it lasts from year to year; and tho diflioulties which surround it are as im penetrable as a thorn fence, and as tenacious as a cactus hedge. How much authority the mistress may be allowed to exercise, and how much liberty the maid may be allowed to have how far to reconcile professional skill with domestic subservience, and superior knowledge in her work with personal obedience these are tie tongnes of flame which make the ques tion "burning" and defy the efforts of the well-intentioned to put out. The present day is one of those rapidly changing times when all the old landmarks are being removed and grand old temples are beiug ttestroyed; when the gods whom oar fathers wor shipped are east down from their shrines and burnt in the common market-place like so mnoh rubbish; when the cherished customs of onr an cestorsare discarded and decried. When families had to bake and brew, wash churn, and kill at homo when all the stand-by supplies the stores for winter use,, the fruit, preserves and f'ekles, the hams and sides of bacon, the pre served eggs and stored potatoes were matters of home arrangement and care there was, of course, much more for both mistress and maid to do; and the intercommunication between them was closer and more friendly as well as more authoritative on the one side and more subservient on the other than it is now. Then the mistress was the head and superintendent, who knew better than her maid how things onght to be done, and thus had the place of superior professional skill. Now domestic service has become a profession, where the mistress is a "duffer" and the maid is a proficient. Women, as a rnle, are not logical. They feel more than they reason, and when things go eontrary to their lik ing, they are more angry with resnlts than ke n to search into causes. The troubles lying round this question of domestic service are, for tho most part, those which belong to hnmnn nature free of cla?s or education; and onr white-capped friends are women be fore they are servants. j We cannot expect two irreconcilenble things professional anteriority and professional subservience. The ser vant is a free and independent worker, i and no mere serf to be brntaliz! at pleasure of bis lord no mere Blavo to be punished at the pleasure of ber mistress She has ber rights like all the rest of ns. The air is fnll of the doctriues of rights; and while then are not .wanting advocates for tho rights of animals, we need not be as tonished at the higher advocacy for thn right of servants. The servant knows hor worth. She has her profession at ber fingers' ends all the same as a goldsmith or a mil liner, and if she does not like ono place she can find another. And she knows that, wherever else the labor market is congested, it is sparsely peopled enongh in that corner given up to domestic service. For one good placa there nsed to be twenty applicants. Turn it round the other way, and say now that for one good servant there are twenty eager bidders. Molly and Biddy know this; and act on their knowledge to their own advantage and the liowildormeut of mistresses. How unpopular private domestio service is) "may be teen by tho ease with wlneli Hotels and largo establish ments fill up their vacancies. As a rnle, the servauta in theso places re abominably fed, and not in the least cared for. Still, with poor food, wit'i neglect and the absence of all kindly consideration, girls will swarm into these places where they have the ex- citement of society and the absence of i c ose personal supervision. They have no more lilierty than when in private j service. Dm iney cave tne sense ot space and freedom and companionship for which tbey are willing to barter tho more solid advantages of a homo. Their tenure, too, is slighter, and this easy holding tells as much for them as against them. A week's notice on either side severs a connection which has not the faintest shade of personal feeling in it. The g rl knows that she can find another such place as this, the honsekeeper th it she can find another such servant. For the domestio popu lation of these mansions and hotels is eminently floating, peripatetic, nomad ic. In change there is a certain ex citement which is not displeasing; and it is highly unlikely that Scrimp Honse will be wor-o than Scrape HoteL It is of no nso to flout and fionnce over things we do not like. All that we have to do is to recognize that they exist, and make the best of th m where wo cannot change them. Tho want of personal feeling on the part of ser vants for thoir mistresses and the fam lies they servo is mot by the want of the sumo feeling for them. Both states are duo to the altered economio aspect of life and the changes wrought by natural conditions. We have then to make our account with tho residue. For the close authority which came with active participation and clone su pervision we must accept the looser rein belonging to professional skill an the oco side and more distaut rela tions on tho other. For the family jolidaritv of mistress and s rvants we mnst acknowledge the merely com merc'al value of the work rendered nd payment made therefor. For the feudal sense of fidelity we mnst be con tent to find tho generalized fooling that , honesty is the best policy in tho long i run. tne whole thing has cnangod;and is little good as is to be had by crying jver spilt milk, so littlo shall wo find by lamenting this inevitable conver sion. It is part of the Spirit of the rimes, and who enn kill - that spirit? But we mnst always remembor that the loving nature creates love; that a good LMstress has for tho most part good servants; and that the woman who is maternal jnst, kind and firm will find among her "Whito caps" more than one dear girl who will lovo her and .rvo hor wiih zeal as well as fidelity, nd who -i!l reprdnce for her bene fit ab the best traditions of the past.

The King Jamos version of tho rtiblo Is a classic of classics, but there have not been wanting men who fancied that it needed retouching and rellning. Dr. Harwotnl, an English divine of some two hundred years ae;o, 'ent so far as to make a new and "elegant" translation. His pur pose, as lie modestly expressed it, was to "clothe the genuine idea and tc trines of the apostles with that pro priety and perspicuity in which they themselves, I apprehend, would have exhibited them, had they lived and written In our language." Some of his attempts to avoid "the bald and barbarous language of tho old vulgar version," arc worth quot ing ns terrible examples of what ele gant writing Is not. The plain-spoken warning to the Laodicean Church is improved thus: "Since, therefore, yon are now in a state of ltikewariiincss, a disagree able medium ltetwt-n the two ex tremes, I will, In no long time, eject you from my heart with fastidious jontempt. The translator is especially happy !n what may lx- called his personal euphemisms. Isicodemus is "this gentleman;" ono of the apostle's Athenian converts Is "a lady of dis tinction," and the daughter of Hero dias Is young lady who danced with inimitable grace and elegance." The father of tho prodigal is "a gentleman of splendid family," and St. Taul no longer leaves a "cloak" at Troas, but a "portmanteau," as was certainly more Incoming to a dignified ecclesiastic On the Mount of Transfiguration,' 6t Teter no longer says in vulgar, everyday language, "Lord, it is good for us to be here," but "Sir. what a delectable residence we might Bx od this spot!" The apostle's saying, ""We shall not all sleep, but we shall all he changed," becomes "We shall not all pay the common debt of nature, but wa shall, by a soft transition, be changed from mortality to immortality."
