The speakers were Mr. Philip Wheel
er, commonly called Uncle Phil, and
his handsome, l devil-may-care nephew,
John Landon. Uncle Phil was stand
ing under the big brown horse•chestnut
tree, whittling a new handle for his
hammer, when a bay wagon containing
a bureau, stopped before the gate.

'By all means,' interrupted John;
'the buttery is just, the place for it;
three are as many as I can occupy, inas
much as I only brought a band-beg
along on my , little visit. If you were
to give me a fourth, I should be reduc

After much anxiety on Aunt Susan's
part; 'hair breadth escapes on the bu
rean's, and a good deal of harmless
swearing, such as, 'I snum l"hy golly r
etc., on Uncle Phil's, the old ; bureau
was at last deposited in the buttery,
where it took up just three inahes more
room than it could with any degree of
propriety be accommodated with. Oen
sequently, being of a firm and unyield- .
jug nature, a sharp and uncompromis
ing corner was thrust obtrusively and
offendingly out; against which unwary
toes and unfortunate shins would in
all probability be frequently punished.
But Aunt Susan was not • the woman
to go forth to meet trouble, and lie
shadow rested -upon her placid brow,
nor misgivings annoyed or made afraid.
The burcin *as a bargain, and that
sublime fact shed inch s halo of glory
over its somewhat battered surface as to
completely put to rout the inconven

Next morning Aint Susan rose bu

the back road, and enjoyed a day of
Viitting to rights.' Those days, in
which ahe caused to be brought forth
from garret, cellar and hidden store
rooms, treasures collected from auction
innumerable, were dear to ber heart,
though abominations in the eyes of
Uncle Phil, who wandered around amidst
the household gods in bitterness of
spirit.
John watched the 'cleaning' operation

The morning arrived, and Aunt Su

ticles, at last took her place in the
wa
gon which was' to convey her to the
depot. , l.
John delayedn few moments-to take
special parting with Uncle Phil. What
.wita said no-one beard save' the- pestle's
interested; but John's low words called
forth a series of energetic words from
his uncle, and a dry, hart chuckle, be
fraying an unusual amount of interest.
The journey ended safely, and Aunt
Susan was beginning to feel at home on
springs, and to sleep in spite of the
noise on the street, when a letter from
home Completely upset the good wo
man, and threatened to start her On the
homeward track without delay.

To sa4 that Aunt' Susan was stunned .

of mind; but she determined: : John's
happiness shOuld-not be diromed by her
anxiety. awl so by a- great effort ale
ancceeded in overcoming her despond

and waited with what patience - Abe
t could for John's return.
- Uncle Phil was , waiting tod—silently,
but no less anxiously. In fact, a little
air mystery hung over the old house
and hid shyly away amidst the wrinkles
f the kindly old faces of its excellent
earner. Uncle Phil had some secret he
did not tell Aunt Swan, and Aunt 811-
agn and some secret she did not confide
tb Uncle Phil, and stranger still, each,
sus so engaged with his own as to be
perfectly oblivious of 'the other's pos
session.
Only one person San, understood, en
joyed and remained silent—Uncle Phil's
sister, Martha.
The summer's heat slowly died out,
and autumn` as beginng to paint the
tree-tope in the gloriei . of red and gold,
when John wrote that he was coming
, with his wife to take np his home in
the little house. They ikere to remain
at Uncle Phil's till their 'house -was
ready. , '
Of 'course everything was on Up-toe,
Aunt Susan caused a supply of plea and
cakes to be baked that would have
victualed. ; a man-of-war; while Uncle
Phil spent the entire , day shaking out.
buffalo robes, and polishing up the old
carriage and wagon.
Train time came; so did John and
Mary, and the old people drove them
home from the depot critti great pride,
under the scrutinizing gaze of the en
tire village eye; so to speak•
Tea was soon ready, but not so soon
but Untie , Phil had found time to
divulge his secret to John, for from the
%madhouse came a lbw' murmur of
voices, with now and then a hearty peal
of laiighter in John's clear voice min
glad with Uncle Phil's low guffaw.
Twice did
_Aunt Susan call out and
demand to know the joke, and twice
, did she get her trouble for her pains,
for no hint was given.
After tea the whole,party strolled
down to the new houie. Now_ it was
Aunt Susan's turn. With a prouil step
she marched ahead and opened the door
of the house, a faint flush, on her
I withered cheek. Mary followed closely,
but John stood rooted in the hall, star
ing blankly and stupidly into the little
joarler.

'You don't seemed to be pleased,'
said /taint. Susan in a crestfallen manner,
her kind old voice, trembling 'a little.

But Uncle Phil was still speeehlees;-

to doltausurd work.

At this awful stage John recovered
himself sufficiently to confront Aunt
Martha and by dint of winks and nods
make her underst.sild that she was Mak
iag a mess of it.
. Poor %still' stared, as opened
mouthed as the rest; but the warning
bad - chino too late; Aunt Susan was by
no means slow, and the whole plot was
as plain as daylight to her.
"AndliO, Philip Wheeler," she burst
out with withering scorn, 'you thought
%would be line fun. to deceive me with
your trtunpt up story of theives that
has made the shiver's sun down my back

And Aunt Bann fairly broke down, and
bowing her head. on Mary's shoulder,
burst - into a shower of tears which
caused Uncle Phil and John to feel not,
only like sneaki and
,scoundrebs, but
'like midnight assassins and burglars as
well.
There vas not tauch to say, but what
could be said John said; he explained
that no harmvas intended, and that' it
was bit a foolish boyish trick, And
Uncle Phil scratched his head and tried
to look boyish, and failed utterly be
cause he slreadyllooked so sheepish and
mean.
Bat Mary did just whO a 'warm
hearted, clear-headed won an should
have done. She kissed Aunt Swain af
fectionately, and said--
'Uncle Phil and John meant to play
off a good joke on you, but you have
turned the tables finely, and I am clout).

And so she did; so quaintly sweet,
and altogether charming did the little
house grow under her skillful fingers
that it became' the rage. and the de
mand for old things was- almost as high
in Abe village as it was , in our big City,
where something, always rages.
John became a convert at ovary early
day, and even Uncle Phil said—

To which Aunt Susan would reply,—
'I altars knowed 'twas iristooratio;
