A HEART TO LET.
"llic said .Viss Wilhelmina. "1
think I've got it Mack enough now!"
Miss Willielinina had been wrestling
with pen and ink. N'ot that she was
a literary I s I.- that was far from be
ing the case.
The effusion upon which she was so
hard at work was neither more nor
less than a big "TO LET," printed on
the hack of a slit el of her deceased
father's sermon paper, and she viewed
it with solemn satisfaction.
: t let- a i'i'L v ' win i i x.
'1 won't pay any agents' fees," said
she, "nor I won't pay good, hard mon
ey for a nol ice that I can print myself.
I've economized all n:y life, and I'm
not going to leave off now. Meryl, 1
say ?"
In answer to the last word, spoken
ia quick, arbitrary accents, a hright
eyedgirlof seventee.t came running
in, wiping her dimpled hands on a
frilled apron. Her cheeks were lluhel
-with hiiiiscliol.l exercise, her shining
brown hair was coiled in a luMrcus
braid at tho bad; of her bead, and her
hmg-lashed hazel eyes sparkled like di
amonds. "What is it, aunty y" said Heryl
Prand.
"Get the paste-pot and a brush,"
ttaid Miss Wilhclmina, "and put up
this -TO l.VV"."
Beryl lonki d lirst at her aunt, and
.hen at the fat, black -lettered sign, in
dismay.
"Aunt," said she, "are you going to
tnon '"
"Yes," said Miss Whilelmina, "I've
made up my mind to give up housekeeping."

l uiisin 1-rcii, wnose wne, iiiy, is ice
ble, and can't keep an eye to things."
Beryl colored violently.
"But, Aunt Willielinina," said she,
it was m that Cousin Fred wrote for
to cane and help Lily, and be a com
panion to the girls."
"Ves, I know," said Wilhclmina,
with the Indifference of utter selfish
ness; "but Fred hadn't any idea how
young and inexperienced you are, and
I've w rote him that 7 will come there,
if he'll pay me liberal wages and give
me the complete management of every
thing." "Hut, Aunt Willielinina
"Well?"
"What is to become of me?" pleaded
poor Beryl.
"Some' people are always thinking of
themselves!" said Miss Willielinina
sharply. "Why, what should become
of you? You can g't a place with
Mrs. Somerset in thu millinery busi
ness; or you can go out as a compan
ion. And now 1 think of it, it was
only yesterday 1 saw in the daily pa
per that Lyon and stubb wanted a
dozen smart young women to stand be

jilenty of things for a woman to do if !
she has a liitlo ambition and energy
And now don't stand there, looking as
it your senses were all (lying up the
chimney, but bustle out and put up
that notice as sharp as possible, for it's
a nice day, and all the house-hunters
will te out."
Beryl obeyed, with nn indescribable
"celing as if the whole world were
irning itself upside down.
And as she leaned over the iron rail
of the steps, fastening the big "TO
LET" against the mildewed brick wall,
a certain scent of greening grass and
opening dandelions saluted her senses,
while the warble of a prisoned thrush
in a cage across the street, reminded
her of a visit she bad once made, years
and years ago. to this same Cousin
Fred up in Leicestershire.
The tears came, unlld ten, into
Beryl's eyes.
"Oh, how delightful it would be to
ive in the real country!" she said to
herself. "And I know I could make
myself useful at Cousin Fred's. But
if Aunt Willielinina is going herself,
I here is an end of the matter."
For Beryl was too well used to her
aunt's overbearing egotism even to at
tempt a s'ruggle against it.
All her life long she had been the j
victim of Aunt Wilhelmina's selilsh-j
ness. It was too late fur any rebellion "Yes!"

"What do you think about it?" said
Mr. Wedderburn.
Beryl's dark-fringed eyelids drooped.
"I have no choice," said she.
He gazed kindly at hor; her hear
began to throb a pube or so faster
than its usual wont.
What pleasant blue-grey eyes he
had! What a frank, smiling mouth!
"Do you like the country?" said he.

IIo leaned forward and took her

"Beryl," he said, gently, "your
words encourage me still more in the
mission upon which 1 came. I have
bought an old manor houso in Kent,
with a farm and plenty of green trees.
Will you go thither with me. Beryl,
and be the Eve to my little Paradise?
Will you marry a man who, although
he is close to forty, is still young at
heart, und who ill iry his host to
make you happy?"
And without a s'uilu.'i' coiu ir-.

fully answered:

Beryl was manic I the next week,
and went to a sui ei b old mansion,
which seemed like a palace to her un
sophisticated eyes.
And Aunt Wilhclmina sorrowfully
took her way to Leice-ter.
"I'm af.aid I've mismanaged mat

Cousin Fred's at oicc, perhaps Mr.

from pain or irritation, unless they :
provoked a return of tho malady by:
1 again engaging in the dance. Those !
who for any season failed to lind per- I

the manner above described, found
some mitigation of their pains by the ,
ruder process of having the parts (
affected violently thumped or stamped

a great horror of such as had sharp
points to them, which were the gene

reason it became necessary to interdict
the wearing of red colored garment
which inflamed the fury of the dancers,
as they are known to do that of mad
bulls. 1
At Cologne and Met, the mania ran
to a greater height than in any of the
cities previous y attacked. Tn si reel t
of these towns were filled with hun-
dreds o! these dancers, the inhabitants
everywhere hastening to join them,
unable, as it seemed, to resist the in
fatuation. As in the instance of tho
Flagellant frenzy, the laborer left his
plough, the artisan his woodwork, the
tradesman his shop, to swell the band ',
of devotees, and these great centers of
Industry and commerce became forthe
time scenes of the wildest and most
lawless disorder, tiroups of idle vag
abonds, beggars and thieves pretended
to be seized with convulsions of those
really affected, and imitated their de

impossible to distinguish the true from
the fitlse. The governors of the
