-. MQther,' said Harrison, as he spoke
with .earnestness, 'to a woman who re
spects herself, a kitchen, is as .safe, a
place as a parlor ; it is not the trade
that gives dignity to a man or woman
rr-but the man or woman i that should
give dignity to the trade. If kitchen
work 18 actually so lisgraceful, why
did you ever go into your kitchen ?-
Why did you, a Christian woman and
mother, ever-let the child of another
mother go there?'
- Whyj my son, I don't think kitch
en work disgraceful you know I
don't,' replied Mrs, Grey, excitedly;
'but you know how all -ladies feel a
bout it. I can't control public opin
ion; and some how there is a kind of
reproach attached to hired girls, and
it's useless for me to attempt to get
society right in that matter. There
are too many kitchen girls who are
not intelligent and upright, and I sup
pose that is the reason tuey-stand so
low.'
'Exactly so ; but where a gaod girl,
. .i i ; .
one in every way wortny, maKes it
her choice of business, and does, day
by day, the same work that you have
done for years, is it right, is it just for
you to" withdraw rron k mlnos" from
her, because ufiw : tliv women have
done the same work ''. It Is the heart
that people carry into labor itself, that
degenerates.' t
Mrs. Grey knew her son was right,
but yet she was not quite willing, or
had not moral courage to acknowledge
her error; so, waiving his argument,
she replied : '
'Why did she, knowing all these
things, refuse all other modes of liv-
old friends and bid
I know vou will
ing ' I should have thought she would
have had more respect for us.'
'I tell you, mother, Kate had re
spect, and honor for us, and for her
self. You offered her a home. It
would have been a home of depend
ance, and the world would have said
'(QTiqttia nn Tfato shf is fishincr for
a nusband.' Mrs. Preston would have
her sewing, but she knew that a se
dentary life would not agree "wi th her,
and she preferred health to a false re
spectability. Father offered her a
school
'And she ought to have taken it,'
replied Mrs. Grey, tartly ; 'there Avas
no dependance or sedentary life in
that.
'Let us see about that, too. Mr.
Boyd ton years ago, was the wealthi
est farmer in P . lie was sent
to the State Legislature, as well as to
Confess, drank his wine and believed
like thousands of others; that he could
not fall, and like' thousands of others

mother, one we love will be, ere many
days pass, if he doe3 not take reed
The sons, tollowing the example 01 tne
father, fell also money went through
their hands like water. Meantime,
Mrs- Boyd, almost broken hearted, .to
save Kate's feelings, sent her off to
school, the time I went to college-
She remained three years, and then
returned, to find her, father a drunk-
en sot, property, all gone, and her

a grea t sharpener of the eyesight. ' It
the fashionable and talented Charles
Preston was to desert our dear Mary,
simply because I choose to mary the
girl of my heart, and Mary was made
to suffer, as we know she would,;your
love my mother, for the sufferer, would
open your eyes to the wrong, and we
should condemn without stint,; the base
ness of the action.'" - If Kate and Julia
Preston were equal in point of wealth j
and position, now, mother, which would
you rather have me bring home as a
aaugnier : .
AVell,' said Mrs. Grey,' composed
ly, 'Kate was always a favorite of
mine. ' ' v ,
'And still you urge me to give up
the fiivorite, and wed wealth land po
sition ; making the bride only a kind
of appendage to the rest.':
'I know it does seem "wrong in the
ory ; but yefeit docs seem to me you
had better give up Kate.'
'Give up my happiness and honor,
because you can't brave public opin
ion. Qh, mother, after all your teach
ings, to advise me to such a step.
'Well, it is the way of the world.'
The door bell rang and the conver
sation was interrupted. Company was
announced, and Harrison slipped out
upon the street, to quiet his per tuvbed
spirits in the moonlight.
'The v ;:y of theworld,' he mutter
ed, as he passed to apd fro, before the
elegant mansion that now made his
home. 'My I father makes it a boast
that he was ouce a, poor man, and has
worked his way up: from poverty to
wealth, by his own 'energy and pru
dencei Yesl he makes' it his boast;
but after all I think it's more luck or
good fortune, or perhaps we niay say,
the unexampled growth of this great
country, than anything else, that has
eriven us ouri position. Little dream
ed he, when he, bought his farm here,
that twenty years would increase its
value one hundred fold. Then he look
ed upon farmer Boyd as superior, and
was delighted when his boy played
hide and seek in the summor moon
light with the Congressman's daugh
ter. And mother, too, how much
pains she took. Bah ! and now, that
misfortune hath fallen on the house
hold, and Kate, the gentle Kate,
strong in the purity of her own nature,
is doing the very thing that lather
and mother, have all their life long
taught me was right and proper and
praiseworthy, I am called upon to act
the paltroon and torsake her. un : it
is strange how deeply rooted is this
oreiudice against female labor, and
particularly household labor, in tne
hearts of our American people from
the haughtiest aristocrat of us all, (I
say us, for we lovingly profess to be
a band of brothers,) who traces his
proud blood back to some offshoot of
nobility, down to the ignorant booby
whose father was a coal heaver, and
who by some sudden freak of fortune
ha3 grown to a millionaire. Through
every branch ot society to its most
minute ramification, is this feeling
found; Vice itself, if it happened to
be a fashionVis not so noxious as hard
labor, to the mushroon aristocracy ot

to Grey's nestion . the lady replied
with affected pertness i 'Notldrink

not a. teetotaleer, I.hopel' ,.
Yesj a teetotaleer., -I drink no
beverage stronger than pure water.' .
,'La me. I don't believe watdrwa
evr jhade to drink," it's so insipid.'
'May-be Miss Leland, to those who
indulge daily in high seasoned" food
anrl drink f but as I do'neithery it is
very delicious to my palate.' ' '
'You, may drink it all for me,' said
the proud beauty, with, a toss of Jier
head evidently piqued at,the, young
roan's sobriety. 'Lhave no sympathy
with .those who make capital outi of
tbieir weakness. A man that has hot
resolution and character enough to use
the ood things of this world without
abusing them, is no man at all. Come,
now, let me tempt you to taste , this
delicious beautiful wine. Come, Mr.
Grey, surely you will not refuse a la-
'Yes, even a lady cannot tempt me
from what I feel is my duty.'
The lady bit her lip with vexation,
and Mr. Grey rose to depart. Pres
ton, reallv alarmed and mortified fol
lowed him to the doOr,and begged him
to be silent, averring that 'the lady
had met him on the street, and given
him a banter which he could hot evade,
kc'
'Could not evade,' said the bold and
strong Harrison Grev, as he anain,
with still more excited stps, strode
alonr- Tf he cannnt evade now," will
he be able to do - so hereafter ? f No,
no ; Mary must not be ship-wrecked
upon an unconcealed breaker. He
begs me to be silent. He loves. Mary
how can he help it. But his tone
is not that strong anchor, deeply bed
ded in manliness and virtue, that will
hold him fast, when the whirlwind of
passion overtakes him, or the rude
waves ot temptation rock him to ana
fro. Mary must be warned, and Charles
must be saved,' if possible.'
But Charles Preston was forgotten.
Young Grey's-hand was upon Squire
Willoughby s bell-knob, and its ener
getic ding, ding, ding, forthwith an
swered by the neat kitchen girl, who
put all other things out of his head,
and turned his physiology out to take
an airing for the time being.
It is not often that one meets so fine
a specimen of womanhood as Kate
Boyd. Not a sylph, nor yet an ama
zon, nor a blpnde, nor yet a brunette.
Her eyes did not sparkle with jetty
blackness, nor melt away inliquid blue.
Her hair was neither raven or flaxen,
nor yet blue black, (as Mrs. South
worth talks of.) nor golden hued, nor
rich auburn ; nor falling ringlets, or
done up in massive madona braids ; it
was a' kind of brown. Her nose was
not' Roman, -nor aquiline, nor snub ;
