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 <!buld
do to keep from laughing in tbe faces
of the unbending trio with the comical
names. It was very good of Mr.
Stiekney to invite friends to meet her,
she told herself, as she pleasantly
greeted her seeming guests. Hut why
had he selected such a funeral lookiug
party? At tbe tea-table Mrs. Stiekney,
fresh P.S a rose in her pretty summer
silk and dainty laces, sat beside her
husband- The elder Mazonson presid
ed at the tea-urn. This was more in
explicable then the rest; but perhaps,
it was the fashion in Vermont to treat
the lady of the house as a guest for a
time, and so this insult was good-na
tureuly accounted for. The table,
though unexceptiouably appointed, and
covered with every imaginable good
thing, was waited upon by her guests.
This was doubtless another act of
courtesy, the new comer told herself,
but the sight of a servant would have
been an inexpressible relief. It was
very annoying to be served by one's
visitors, but this being the fashion,
she mui-t make the best of it. After
starting numberless topics of conversa
tion, and having tbem all fall dead—
even her husband seemed suddenly
struck dumb—Mrs. Stiekney was
obliged to give up the contest. How
different this was from the home-com
ing she had so lovingiy anticipated I
Such jolly times as they had all through
their six weeks' wedding tour, and
now, in 'the twinkling of an eye,' every
thing had changed, or seemed to
change. Of course it was all seeming,
the young wife told herself, but it was
surely very disagreeable. After tbe
wretched meal was over Mrs, Stiek
ney, ulmost ready to cry, invited her
husband to take a walk, but here was
Mrs. Mazonson at his elbow.
'Hiram had to go away this noon,'
she said 'so I suppose you'll have to
milk, Hubert.'
Mrs. Maz jnson was very tall, very
thin, very dark, and her voice was so
unutterubly deep and hollow that Mrs.
Stiekney eou!d uot rid herself of the
notion that it belonged to somebody
else. The city-bred young lady knew
that cows had to be milked, but she
had never associated her husband with
the one that performed the operation,
and now turned an astonished face to
that gentleman and the assembled
Mazonsons.
'lt must be fun to milk,'Hbe remark
ed, determined to put the best possi
ble fuce on affairs. 'l'll go and see
you '
'Not in that dress, I hope,' said Mrs.
Mazonson, as Mr. Stiekney left the
room. 'I waa to say, u little
while ago,' she went on, 'that seein
as you was dressed up, you needn't
mind about the dishes.'
The dishes? What in the world
did this dreadful woman mean? Be
fore she had time to inqure, her tor
menter had left the room, and now,
more perplexed that ever, Mrs. Stiek
ney went in search of her husband.
She found him in the barnyard, and in
the excitement of a new sensation al
most forgot the disagreeable things
that had preceded it In a dilapidated
straw hat, patched coat, untl blue over
alls, she did not at first recognize her
husband; but when she did she clap
ped her hands like a child, and laugh
ed as merry a laugh as ever was heard
on the Stiekney farm.
'ls that the way the people always
dress when they milk?' she inquired,
touching the old coat caressingly with
her little white hands.
.'One must dress according to one's
work on a farm, Florence,' Mr. Stiek
ney remarked, aententiously.
Something in her husband's words
or manner must have recalled her late
annoyances, for the smile faded away
from her lips, and her eyes grew sad
and troubled. 'Hubert' she said, soft
ly, 'who are those—those ladies at the
house ?'
'Why, they are the Mazonsons,
Florence—Mrs. Mazonson and her
two daughters,' the master of the
grange replied.
'lt was very kind of you to ask Mrs.
Mazonson and her daughters to meet
me,' the voung wife resumed, with a
touch of something in her tone that
her companion was not familiar with,
'but I can't understand why they
should seem so very much at home,
Hubert.'
Mr. Sticknev moved the three-leg
ged stool to the side of another cow
and commenced milking again, before
! he replied.
'Didn't I mention to you, Florence,
that these ladies lived with me ?' he in
quired. 'I know I didn't dwell on the
subject,' he went on, 'but I must have
' spoVen of it.'
'Mention to me that these ladies liv
' ed with you !' Mrs. Stiekney repeated,
, oblivious to the rest of her husband's
remark, a bard look settling round the
| pretty mouth. 'May I ask, Mr. Stick
-1 nev who these ladies are? I know
they are the Mazonsous,' she udded,
in the same singular tone, 'but what
are they to you V
'They are the relatives of my first
wife,' the gentleman replied, in a voice
that had tbe calmness of desperatiou
in it. '1 must have taken for granted
that you knew, Florence. Mrs. Ma
zonson was Mrs. Btickuey's mother,
and Maria and Susan her sisters.'
'And they have always lived here?'
'For some time before and ever since
Mrs. Stiekney died Mrs. Mazonson has
been my housekeeper, and the girls
have been her assistants.'
'Why was there no servant, Mr.
Stiekney, to wait on the table this eve
ning ?'
'We have no servants, Florence,'
all tbe work of ypur house is
performed by the Mazonsons V
'Yes.'
'And who did it before the Mazon
sons came ?'
'Mrs. Stiekney, my dear '
For a moment there was silence in
the burn-yard. Then thefie was »
rustle of retreating silk, a light step
going swiftly toward the house, and
thus tbe singular interview ended
This was a very unpleasant commence
ment, Mr. Stiekney told himself, and
for awhiletbis gentleman's milking wau
purely mechanical. From the bottom
of his heart he wished he and his wife
could be alone. On the other hand
there was a great deal to do in the
house, much more than Florence
could ever manage if she worked night
and day. At this point Mr. Stiekney
really cjid have serious doubts as to
the wisdom of this second marriage of
his. For the first time he asked him
self whether it would be right to im
pose the drudgery of farm work on
this young and delicately nurtured wo- <
man. He had thought very little
about tbe domestic part of the pro- '
gramme. He was accustomed to see
ing the women about him constantly '
employed, and Florence knew she was i
accepting a farmer when she agreed
to marry him. Then, too, Mrs. Ma
zonson was exceedingly competent; in- i
deed, no housekeeper could be more
t>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

replied. 'lf be doesn't chouse to do

I this*, then there is a last resort: I can

'I ain't got anywhere to go,' said
Mrs. Mazonson, now- thoroughly sub
dued; 'but I suppose I eannot find a
place in a few days, if I may stay here
tili then. Maria is going to her uncle's
to-morrow.' 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. 'As far as lam
concerned, you are more than welcome
to stay,' she said, kicdlv, laying her
hand on one tyrannical shoulder. 'You
know better than anyone else how
things are done, and have my husband's
interests more at heart. I am sure that

I she added, sweetly, 'and I see no rea

would, but it is not. I shall never in

dear Mrs. Mazonson, and I am sure
you will not with my affairs.'
An hour later, Mrs. Stickney and
Miss Susan were driving toward Lake
Dunmore, as jolly a pair as one would
wish to see.
'I am glad you settled it, Florence,'
Mr. Stickney whispered, as they stood
on the piazza previous to setting out.
'No doubt,' she replied, with a touch
of the old tone he had learned to re
spect. 'Yesterday, Hubert,' she added,
'I made a discovery.'
'What is it?' he asked.
'That you arc a very great coward,'
she replied.— Harper'# Bazar.
GARFIELD'S BROTHER.
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.'
