[Hje4m 11 IS FIRST WIFE'S RELA TIONS. ( Hubert Stickaev's choice of a second wife was not generally approved. If Mr. Stiekney had been an ordinary citizen there would undoubtedly have . been talk enough in regard to the un suitableness of tbe match ; but Mr. Stiekney was not an ordinary citizen, lie was selectman, surveyor, master I of the Grange, general administrator and advisor on all legal, moral and do mestic subjects. The governor him self could scarcely be more in demand than this well-informed find high.mind. Ed Vermont farmer. Now for such a man to choose a companion from fash ionable city life was inevitably to cast some doubt on the soundness of his judgment in tbe past, and so friends and neighbors shook their heads sadlv, and told each other that Stickney's in fluence was a tjijug of the past. Afow this gentleman, honorable he had certainly proved himself in every department of life, had not been quite frank with his lady-love. He had told her with some pride the exact amount of his income, ffe had pictur ed tbe flue old homestead with the warmth of one who loves what he is de scribing. His intended wife had known just how many elms there were in front of the house, as well as their ages and histories. fbP Uwn, tl}e orchards, the mountains, the little lake in the heart of the woods, she was perfectly acquainted with. In tact, there was nothing omitted from ♦.he picture but the human figures occupy ing the foreground; Tjiese were thp thp nrst wife's relations, and no one knew better than Mr Stiekney how prominent were the positions they oc cupied. The gentleman's voice did not seem quite natural when he presented his wife to the ladies assembled at the hompstead to meet the travelers. 'Florence,' he said, 'allow me. This is Mrs. Mazonson,' presenting the el derly lady, who certainly did not look very gracious, 'and Miss Maria and Miss Susan Mazonson,' indicated two ladies of uncertain age, equally stiff and uucordial. Miss Susan Mazonson ! The young wife, whose appreciation of tbe humor ous was very keen, had all she o|andMr. Stiekney summed it all : up by assuring himself that Florence ! could get along with the Mazonsons easily enough if she only had a mind to think so. i In the meantime Mrs Stiekney bad locked herself in her room, and with clinched bands and flashiug eyes was recu 1 ling every moment of the time since she first met tbe man she had married. She had been grossly deceiv ed and imposed upon, and worst of all, the deception and imposition had come from the one who had promised to love, honor aud cherish her to the day of her death. The drawn lips grew ten der and pitiful as she thought how ut terly she had loved and trusted him, anu how entirely she had believed in his affection for herself. 'To live with these solemn and automatic Mazonsons would be worse that keeping house in a tomb, with skeletons for company,' snc sobbed. She could not and would not endure it. Xo man had a right to ask such a sacrifice from bis wife. But she hadn't been asked. She had been cheated into her present position. She would leave the house where she had been and would continue to lie unut terably wretched, and go straight back to her father. Little did bethink that tbe rich and honorable Hubert Stiek ney would heap such indignities upon his daughter. She would go. No, she would stay, and show the Mazon sons, and her husband, too, what kind of stuff she was made of. That eviniiujf Mr. Stiekney was de tained below by callers. It waa ten o'clock before he was at liberty, and then, to his great delight, Florence was fast asleep. The poor child had for gotten her troubles, and the morning would show things in a more promising light. He would do everything he coultl to make up for the Mazonsonn, aud alter a little everything would go mioothly enough. Mr. Stiekney would not have been so certain of this if he had teen tbe tear-stained face aud quiv ering lids. Ignorant of all this, and in spite of his ten years' experience as a husband, utterly ignorant of the delicacy and sensitiveness of a true woman's nature, Mr. Stiekney went calmly aud comfortably to sleep. The next morning, after waiting to be called to breakfast, Mrs. Stiekney, in the daintiest of muslin wrappers, presented herself in the dining-room. Her husband had just finished his early morning work, and now greeted her with a smile and a kiss. The elder Mazonson looked exceedingly Hushed and Hurried, and Maria and Susan Mazonson Hew brinkly round at the bidding of their superior officer. 'I beg your pardon,' said Mrs. Stiek ney, in her calmest and coolest man ner. 'I thought breakfast was ready. I hope 1 am not intruding.' A smile played round the lips of Misti Susan, who, in spite of her dread ful name, was not altogether so hide ous as Florence had thought at lirst sight. The rightful occupant ol the chair at the head of the table waited to see if Mrs. Mazonson would occupy it, and finding that she did, went calm ly round and sat by her husband. 'Yes, breakfast is ready,'said Mrs. Mazonson, in a voice between a ijrowl and a groan. 'lt's beeu ready for some time.' 'I hope you slept well last night, Mrs. Stiekney?' This from Maria : Mazonson, whose voice Florence hoard now for the first time. 'Very well, thank you,' Mrs. Stick . ney cordially replied.' 'You slept late enough, if that's any sign,' said Mrs. Mazonson, in her most sepulchral tone. '1 always sleep late, Mrs. Mazonson,' Florence replied, as she slowly poured the cream into her coffee. 'You can't sleep late on this farm very well,' the elder lady began again, her face ablaze. 'l've been up since half j_ast four,' she went on, 'and now it's half past seven. I've skimmed eighteen pans of milk, washed all the pans, and made twenty-five pounds of butter this morning.' 'You must be very tired,' Mrs. Stick ney remarked, looking the irate dame iuuocently in the face. 'Well, I guess I'm tired,' the house keeper replied. 'The girls helped me all they could, and—' 'Ob, ma,' Susan interrupted, flush ing painfully as she spoke. 'Why shouldn't we help you, I should like to kuow ?' At this point Mrs. Stickney made up her mind that she was going to like one of the Mazonsons alter all. 'Tbey got this breakfast, I want you to understand.' Mrs. Mazonson finish ed what she had to say in spite of in terrupting. 'lt is a very nice breakfast,' Florence remarked. 'I don't know when I have enjoyed anything so much.' Mr. Stickney glanced at his wife. There was something in her tone which reminded him of the barnyard tete-a tete. There must certainly be an un derstanding between himself and his wife right away, he thought. It would never do to let things go on in this style. Mrs. Mazonson must be rebuked also. Her attitude was cer. tainly very objectionable, and should be corrected immediately. Meantime Mrs. Stickney ate her breakfast with relish, and passed her cup for some more coffee. "Which of you ladies," indicating the Missess Mazonson, "made this coffee ?" she asked pleas antly. "It certainly is delicious." "Neither of 'em made it," Mrs. Ma zonson answered promptly. "Do you think I'd trust anybody to make cof fee but myself?" Mrs. Stickney had decided that her platform should be plainly understood both by her husband and the Mazon sons. It promised to be a hard battle to fight; but the young wife had cour age enough now for a host of husbands and a regiment of first wife's relations. "Are you going to be very busy to day. Hubert ?" Mrs. Stickney asked her husband, as the meal drew to a close. "I have been away so long that my days will lie occupied for some time to come," the owner replied. "Perhaps theu, Miss Susan or Miss Maria would go to ride with me this morning!" and Florence threw a glance full of sweetness at the Misses Ma zonson. "It is such a lovely morning!" she continued ; "and after a little it will be too warm I 'ear." Mrs. Stickney waited a moment for some kind of a reeponce, and receiving none, said, "You would like to ac company me, womld you not, Miss Susan ?" This young lady was on the point of replying, but her mother came in ahead. 'Hubert,' she began, 'I should think it was high time you gave your wife to understand what kind of a place she has come to live in. 1 don't sup pose this wife can gad off and leave the work'—and now Mrs. Mazonson's voice shook with grief or anger, Florence didn't kuow which—'any more than your first wife, my daughter, Mr Stickney. She never left the work un til it was done.' 'Perhaps if she had left it occasional ly she might be living now,'the second Mrs. Stickney coolly suggested. A this crisis Mrs. Mazorson sniffled, and Miss Susan left the table. 'Florence will become accustomed to our ways after a while,' Mr. Stickney responded, with so much consideration in his tone for the tyraut at the head of the tabic that his wife felt ashamed of him. 'She'll work into it after a while,' he added, endeavoring to appear ai his ease. 'That furbelowed white gown looks like working into it!' said Mrs. Mazon son, defiantly. 'I am not afraid to trust my wife to do the proper thing, Mrs. Mazonson,' Mr. Stickney remarked, with a tardy decency. 'lf I may be allowed,' the young wife began, with the deliberation of one making a mighty effort (or self control, 'I should like to say a word.' As th*? brave little woman surveyed the as sembled group, there crept into her face a look that one of the party never for got. This one was her husband, who started to lay a determined hand on her arm, but for some inexplicable rea son gave it up. 'When I take my rightful place as mistress of my hus band's house,' Mrs. Stickney went on, 'then it will be time enough to talk of my duties. You may consider me a summer boarder, if you please,' she added smilingly, 'but in whatever light you may regard me'—and now the (ino eyes struck fire—'please remember t hat I am the wife of the proprietor of this establishment and the owner of these acres, and expect to bo treated, if not with kindness, at least with civili ty- 'l should like to sec you make twen ty-live pounds of butter ltoforo break fast!' said Mrs. Mazonson, when she could recover herself. Mr. Stickney played with his spoon, and looked steadily into his coffee cup, but said not a word. 'You will never see me make twen ty-five pounds of butter before break fast,' Mrs. Stickney responded, 'and 1 think it very doubtful if 1 ever make any butter after breakfast either. 1 don't intend to give up my music, my painting, my reading, my writing or anything else that I have been educa ted to enjoy, an I I want this under stood also.' 'I wonder what you will do if I go away V Mrs. Mazdas >n inquired, dubi outtly, bi.t respectfully. 'Mr. Stickney is abundantly able to pay for ull necessary service,' Florence replied.

The basso-profundo was all broken up, and tears rained down the old lady's face. Mrs. Stickney rose from her seat, and walked round the tublo to the housekeeper's side.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean has recently bunted up the brother of President Garfield, and found him living obscurely in the back woods of Michigan, sixteen miles from Grand Rapids. Thomas Garfield— for such is his name—is the eldest brother of the late President, and he settled in Michigan in 1867, where he has since resided. He purchased forty acres of land, and, by the help of his wife, cleared it for farming. He said thai his brother James had frequently helped him in various ways, and twelve years ago purchased forty acres of land adjoining his farm and gave it to him. It is now occupied by his eld est son, 31 years old, who is named after his uncle, James Abraham Gar field. In speaking of his early life Mr. Garfield said: 'I was a child between 10 and 11 when father died, and, and James was the baby of 18 months. Mother was often urged to find places for her chil dren among neighboring irieuds, but she always refused, and in our humble home spinning and weaving for such people as would give her employment, while I set out working wiih all my might among the neighbors to contrib ute what a child could for family sup port, I used to earn twenty-five cents a cord for chopping fifteen-foot wood, and from my slender earnings paid nine shillings a bushel for meal, wich I packed two miles and a half from the mill and this largely formed jur diet. And that winter mother wove a lartre piece of cloth for the children and I paid for the dyes to color it. James was 7 years younger than the next oldest child and was teaching school when we were married. I well remember carrying him on my back to the school-house when he was a child. His mind seemed fully occu pied with his studies and, if I say it myself, James was a good and Bmart man.' Mr. Garfield said that he was too poor to go to Washington to see his brother duriug his illness, but he attend ed tbe funeral at Cleveland. He gives the following account of their last meet ing: '1 can never forget the last time I met him. It was at Mentor last New Year's, when we held tho family meet ing. No money could buy of me tbe remembrance of our parting. He took me kindly by the hand and said : 'You are going back to your peaceful home, while I must encouter trouble aud anx iety increasing.'
