I was olmoit dircouraged. Such a dreary,
disordered house I never 'saw: "In even ,
chamber the curtains hung over•tht windows
,trowdi
like el. fie, =and the air was cold nod damp
at a dungeon. There was dust on the isrn)l;,,
on the windows a'nd' furniture;_ there was .

might have been a delightful .room, seemed
like n sepulchre. The furniture; - na t. Well:as
the pictures, were covered with . canvas. A
locked bookcase stood in a recess, anda'leok

little 'May, who had-kept close by me all the
morning, why this was so: . • -
' Aunt Jane doesn't like music.' she said ;
and she'keeps the bookcase locked, because
she says we must not read books until we areolder.'
--
And why is the furniture nil covered?' '
• The parlor is scarcely , ever •opened,' .an
swered May. • Aunk.jano'wants to keep .it

:I - said; ' go how hod, ask Aunt
Jane for the key of the bookentie. - I want- to
see the hooks:.
•
~Slte ran quickly, and' returned, followed by
Miss Jane; who delivered up , the key to me
with a dubious kind of grace.
I hope you *ill look the bookcase when
you have examinell the hooks, ma'am,' • livid
she. .‘ I don't allow the chindren• to spend
their time in light reading '
What are They now reading ?'I naked:
They • learn their lessons,' p he . replied
shortly.' • . *.
r—She-disappeared,-finit
ease, which Hound to contain a most excel- .
lent collection-of books. The beet poets, the'
nest historifrs, the best novt4.lists and biogra•
pliers, were there, making a librory
but of rich value. It was'the first renlry
.pleasant thing I had found in - my nor-home,
and I eat an hour or two, ' glancing over—one
voliime after another, and re arranging them
on the shelves. -
Suddenly, Miss Jane looked in, and in a
metnent her face was pale with indignation,
for there eat little May on the carpet, hurried
in a Chayming old • English annual. , Miss Jane
took two steps forward, .and : snatching the
book out of the ohlid's hand, threw it on the
tatle, and led her by thouhoulder out of ' the
room. I wee mute with -amazement at this
rough government at first, then I sprang ,up
and would hal/a-followed herhad not the fear
of an outbrelik restrained me.
'Selfish oreatartl' I exclaimed, you are
trying to make these children Into youreerf;
ruining them for all good or happiness in life.
HI Ellen's aullennexeand coldnes's I see the •
fruit of your labor. - Was Arther Fleming
blind when be left his children in your keep

I saw no more of the children until dinner,
when; by
.questioning, I leiirued that they
lad been studying nil the mo fp—with-1i as
, informed ber that 1 should 'sit
with them in the afternoon, us I wished to see
what progress they ,were Liking. The look
with which she received this announcement
phinly indicated that I should be au- uuwel
come listener to her lessons, and for a few
moments my heart so failed me, perplexed by
her contemptuous glo v es, that I half delhy_
mined , to have nothing to do with ibt_ri viaken
but to leave them to her', since she was so
jealous : Of them. But my better spirit pre
vailed, over me: 'They are miss now,'
thought, for lam their father's wife, and all
his aro nibie. Their interests, must be ,mine.
