If you think best we will quit: har-. ing company at the house, especially people who do not belong to your set. Wo will also ' strive, v O, so hard,, to make it pleasanter for you in every, way. f we had " known four , or live years ago that children .we re:- offensive; to you, it would have been dinerent. But it is too late now. All we can is to shut them up in a bairn, and feed them through a knot-hole. If they; shriek loud enough 'J;o . give : pain to your throbbing brow, let no one know, ttnd we will, overcome any A alse senti ment we. may feel' towards them, and send them to the Tombs. . " : m ? .Since you went away we can see how wicked and; selfish we were, and' how little we considered your comfort. - We miss your glad smile, also your Ten jnessee marble-cake and; your slat-pie. We have learned a valuable' lesson since you went away, and it is that the blame should not. have rested on one alone. , It should . have been divided equally, leaving me to bear half of it and my wife the other half. ; - Where we erred wa3 in dividing up the blame on the basis of tenderloin steak or peach-cobbler, compelling you to bear half of it yourself. That will not work, Wilhelmina. Blame " and preserves do not divide on the same basis. Wo are not now in favor of what maybe called a sliding scale. We think you will like this better; We also made a grave mistake in the matter of nights out. While young I formed the wicked and pernicious habit of having nights out myself. I panted for the night airj andrwould. go a long distance and stay out a long time to get enough of it for a mess, and then bring it home in a paper bag, but I can see now that it is time for me to re main indoors,, and give young people like yourself a chance, Wilhelmina. . So if I can do anything evenings while you are out that will assist you, such as stoning raisins or neighboring windows, command me. I am no cook, of course, but I. can - peel apples or grind coffee, -or hold-your head for you when you need sympathy. I could also soon learn to ' do the plain cook ing, I think, and ' friends who come to see us after this have agreed to bring their dinners. There is no . reason why harmony should not be restored among us and -the old sunlight coxae back to our roof tree. ; ' - Another tlr'ng I wish to write before I close this humiliating personal. I wish to take back my harsh and bitter wcrds about your singing. . I said that yoi. sang like a shingle-mill, but I was mad when I said it, and I wronged you. I was maddened by-hunger, and you told me that mush and milk was the K-proper thing for a brain-worker, and i-you refused to give me any dope on my dumpling, (loaded to madness by this, I said that you sang like a shingle-mill, but it was not my better nature that spoke. It was my grosser and more gastric nature that asserted itself, and I now desire to take it back. ' You do not sing like a shingle mill - at least so much as to mislead a practiced ear. Your voice has more volume, and when your upper register is closed is mellower than any shingle-mill I ever heard. Come back, Wilhelmina. We need you every hour. After you went away we tried to set the bread, as we had seen you do it, but it was not a success. The next day it came off the nust with a litter of small, sallow rolls which would easily resist the action of - acids. If you cannot come back, will you please write and tell me how you are getting along, and how you contrive to insert air-holes into homo-made bread. The Great Salt lake, in spring, when the mountain snows are melting, the lake sometimes spreads over the plains that border its shores. But it is a large lake at any time about ninety miles in length, I believe, and forty miles wide. An immense sheet of water! And no living thing can exist in it. Not a fish in all tht silent sea! It is the heaviest sort of brine, charged with salt and other min eral substances. Leave a stick in it a few hours and when you take it out it will appear covered with crystals. Put a live trout in it and it will turn over on its back and die in about three or four gasps. It ia a wonderful lake. SL Nicholas. , Gaining a Treasure.
