A LITTLE GEM OF A WOMAN.'
Hurrying down the street theothereveo

up as the speaker pasaed me, and saw stall,
robust, huuest-luoKiiig young tuan, who had
evidently addressed hie remark to bis com
panion, who waa appareully Jouuger some
what thsu himself.
Havipg uK-ertained only this, the crowd
took them and bore them away. 1 Still tbe
words, ' a little gem of a woman, kept
floating iu my mind. From it sprang via
iuu ol a nice, warm, coxy home, with wel
coming lighta in tho window, a delicious
supper in waiting, everything neatand tidy
and a ro.-y cheeked, bright-eyed little wo
msu a little gem of a woman. watch
ing luipatioiiily lor the sbaent basboud
for surely he was a husbsnd, for ha step
ped like a pi ince. aad seemed iu great au
xicty to get ahead. Yea, a young bUsbaod ;
all day long he bad been bard st work.
dreaming of this bright little Woman who
would welcome huu lu tbe shadows ot evsu
iug with her sweetest kiss. " "
How be longed for bouiehowsoxiously
he counted the hours, work iug faithfully all
tbe time . ' How eagerly be hurried on
ward with tbe iosthtig crowd. No feat to
him of a disorderly kitcheo, a littered par
lor, A slovenly wife. This little gem ol
a Wouisu always keeps his boms writing.
, I Wonder what tins waiting wile wouiu
think, could she have heard that remark as
Idid. Wouldn't ber cheeks burn some,
and aouldu'l her eyes shine (enfold brigh
ter? ' Don't tell me it was nothing but
oiere iiofi-ensa." It would hsVe been bet

Is It nothing to a woman to be prised, loved
polled? Ak the numberless woman who
