It matters little where I was horn
Or if my parents were rich or poor
Whether they shrank at the cold worlds RC orn
Or walking in the pride of wealth secUrc-
But whether I live a.i honest man
And hold my integrity firm in „' lv clutch,
I ell yon my brother, as plain as I can,
It matters much!
It matters- little how long* I stay
In a world of sorrow, sin and care-
Whether in youth I Am Called away, '
Or live till my hones of flesh are bare-
But Whether I do the best I can
To soften the weight of adversity's touch
On the faded cheek of my fello* men,
Jt matters much!
It matters little whcie be my grave,
On the larid or on the sea;
By puiling brook; oi 'ueath titorrpy wave
It nlattfirs Utile or .naught to me;
But whether the angel of death domes down
And marks my brow with a loving touch
As one that shall wear the Victor's crown,
It matters much!

'Now, Charlie, jou'll be sure to re
member?'
•To remember—what?" Said Mr. Mer
edith, with a hopeless expression ot in*
anity on his countenance. Kate' Merc*
ditli dropped both hands despairingly at
her side.
'Charles!' she excitedly said, "you
don't mean that you nave forgotten aN
ready.'
'My dear,' said Mr. Meredith, fum
bling in the depth of his overcoat pock
ets for a missing glove, 'I may not have
forgotten, but 1 don't exactly remein*
her.'
'The oysters,' suggesled his wifo.
'Oh, yes, tiie oysters,' said he*.
'And the two ounces of double zephyr
-corlet wool.'
•Exactly.'
•And the depot hack lo be in Wailing
at 2 o'clock for your cousin from Phila"
delphia.'
Mr. Meredith slapped one hand on the
table.
'She is coming to-day, I declare!' lie
ejaculated.
'And a dozen Havana oranges for de
sert, and two pounds of' while grapes
and soinc of those delicious liitle Naples
biscuits and macc'iroons—oil, and let
tliem send up a girl from tit. Clair's.'
'A—which?'
'A girl, you goose. For general house
work, Phebe went homo this morning
with the I'aceachc; and I can't be leit
alone with company coining and all.
Miud she's a good cook and understands
waiting on the table.'
And Meredith rushed off to catch the
9:30 express, with a kaleidoscope confu
sion of grapes, zephyr wool, depot hacks
oyster and servant maids careering
through his brain, which boded ill lor
domestic plans.
While the lady, clasping both hands
over her forehead, in a sort of tragic des
pair, rushed down into the kitchen,
where a very good looking young man,
ot two or three and twenty, was on his
knees In front of the range, trying to
coax a most unwilling fire to burn.
The good looking young man glanced
up with a coniicil sparklo in his eyes,
and a 6inudgc of soot traversing his
nose.
'Well?,' sold he.
•Tom,' cried she historically, 'can you
make lobster salad ?'
'Like a bcok,' said Tom,
'And coffee?'
> «I learned in Paris.'
•Good. And I can make buttermilk
buscuit—and, between as we will get up
a decent lunch for a young lady iroin
Philadelphia. As for dinner "
•Well?' again remarked the young
man with the soof besmudged nose.'
'Providence must provide/ sighed the
v \
matron.
There's an old chintz colored rooster
in the barn-yard. If I could catch him
1 would have a chicken stew.'
'Tom dkl you ever make a chicken
stew?'
j -No '
I 'Then you do not know what you are
1 talking about,'said said the lady with
j gome asperity.
•Yes 1 do, too. Onions, potatoes, cel
ery, pearl barley, with a pinch of ealt f
and—'
♦Nonsense!' interposed Mrs. Meredith.
'Go pick that lobster out of its shell, and

drawing room, when there came a ring
at (he door hell. She put the turbaned
hentl out ol the window i|t a most ilncor
emonius manner.
'Who is there?' she demanded in a
high contralto.
'Does Mrs. Meredith live here?' re.
toned a woman's voice. And the same
instant tho young matron crtttght sight of
a neat black leather bag, a black alpaca
dress and a shawl of t:)o plainest High
land plaid.
'lt is the new girl, thank Providence!'
said Mrs. Meredith, as she run down tho
stairs, thanking honest Charlie in her
heart lor his unexpected promptitude.
'Come in,' said she, opening the door
wMe; 'I am 60 glad you ae punctual,
my good girl. From the St. Clair's in
telligence bureau, 1 supDoee; No, don*t
take off your tilings tip here, the, servant's
room is belotv stairs; you may as well
come directly down to the kitchen.'
She led the way down, followed by the
new girl, »ho*d countenance bore a
rather bewildered expression.
•What is.your name?' she asked pat
ronizingly.
'My name! Oh, its Martha,* replied
the stranger, in some confusion.
'Martha!' critically repeated Mrs. Mer
edith, "What an ugly name! I think 1
shall call you Pat'ie. lluvd you good
references?
'l—believe so.'
'I think' said Mrs. Meredith surveying
her from lip to too, 'you arc a little over*
dressed tor your station, Pattie; but of
course you have some plainer clothes in
your trunk when it comes?'
Tho stranger lilted a pair of grave bine
eyes to the tall form, girded around with
a towel, who was vigorously wrestling
with theclawsot a stupendous lobster
beyond,
'Do you keep a mar. cook?' asked the
girl.
Mrs. Meredith drew herself up.
'Certainly not. This is iny brother,
Mr. Selwyn, who is kindly assisting me
to tnake a salad,
'lint he is not doing it right. lie can
never got meat Iroin the shell in that
manner. Let me instruct you, Mr. Scl-
wyu.
And with deft fiugers she loosened the
luscious while fibre from the scarlet
shell in a manner that made Mr. tielwyn
cry, 'liravol'
'And now, Pattie, I'll show you where
the things arc, and leuve as nice a lunch
as you can lor 2:30 o'clock; Wo are ex
pecting my husband's cousin from Phil
adelphia. 1 desire ever> thing in perfect
order.'
'1 shall finish the salad,' said Tom, as
he had secretly been observing the pret
ty face and trim figure of the new do
mestic,'as 1 have commenced it; but
don't look perturbed, Pattie, it that is
your name, 1 shall be careful, and not
get in your road. Aud you can ask my
sister if 1 am not a bandy sort of a tellow
about the kitchen.'
Kate shook her head surreptionsly at
Tom behind the screen, but Tom res
olutely aflected not to perceive the warn
ing gesture*
Halt an hour afterward he came up to
tho dining-room where Nlrs Meredith
was Arranging her best lilac and gold
china.
'Kate, she is a jewel!—a gem of tho
first water I Depend upon it, she lias not
always labored in the kitcbcu. I quoted

other, 1 do not remember what, ami sbe
recognized the grand old words at once

have seeu the color come to her cheeks!'
'Quoting tihakspeare to a com uoii

amazement.
'Hut I tell yty} she is not a common
kitchen girl. 4
'I don't believe iu high life below
ttairs,' said his sister disdainfully.
The lunch came up at 2:30 iu perfect
order, bat no cousin from Phitudelphiii

'Forgot t'
'Yes—forgot. Isn't that plain English

the new girl came up courtesying.
Mr. Meredith uttered an exclamation
ot amazement.

THE MAN WILD OOT 111 OH.
A citizen ot repute has tor somo time

found he couldn't, he sat down on u

saying:
'Well, 1 might as well stop around and

'Uoy won't von go and get a man t

the citizen as the distance to the ground
began to increase in his estimation.
'jfot much, you might fall while I wat

WOMAN* TRUE LOIIRL'B OV

The strength of women lies in their
heart. It shows Us&lf in their strong
love and instinctive perception ot right

ly one of their \irlues. As a rule,
they are inclined to bo restless and
excitable, allowing their judgments Mud
action# to be swayed by quick emo
tions ot all kinds, but, above all,
it is in their hopefulness and their
Kitrinranee that they find their chiel
power. Who is the last person to give up
iu lue case ot a member of a family

the bad? What mother or sister with
deep and ardent love for such will ever

of woman is proveibiul, and their whole
lives are bound up in their adectious.
Few people will deny that love la one
loriuor another makes up the beauty ot
lite to woman. It enters into all she
does. Any wnrk ouUide her immediate
e'rele is undertaken most often from pure
desire to help some one el«e to know
something ot the mysterious happiness ol
love. Unlike men, women chiefly look
icr personal iuteicourHe with those for
wbom they are working, it their inter
est Jies among the twor, they are desirous
of sympathetic personal acquaintance
with them, and very little good work ot
a lasting kind has been done by women
