"George, wbeu did you get tbis
letter?" asked Mattie Henderson,
R8 she glanced into her husband's
face.
''Oa Wednesday," be said, with
fotne hesitation.
"And this is Friday," rebukiugly
replied bis wife. "You carried it
about in your pocket lor at least
two days. It is from your niece,
Fanny At wood. She left New York
yesteiday and will be here on tbe 8
o'clock train tbis morning, and it is
halt-past 7 now. This is a uicestate
of affair, isn't it ?"
It was careless in me, Mattie,''
tbe young farmer regretfully ad
mitted. lie was a bandsouie,good-uatured
fellow, bturdy in frame, and pleass
iug iu speech. lie had a whip in his
hand, aud his wagon, loaded with
milk caus, was stauding at the gate.
"be says she'll get otf at Forest
fetation, where you are to meet her.''
fclrs. Henderson said, her eyes once
more on the letter.
'Oh, Pshaw," cried the husband
with .i-t imp it!or:co unusual with
him. ! can'c. I must have my
milk at Heaver station on time.
Why didn't she come over the road
most convenient to me f"
"1 suppose she'll have to walk
here," replied tbe young wife. "And
a the says that she intends to'stay
three weeks,no doubt she basbrougbt
her trunk with ber a trunk
ot no meau dimensions, I'll ven
ture to predict. I am a good deal
more put out about it thau you are.
There's tbe butter to churn, tbe
clothes to irou, the current jelly to
make, and goodness only knows
what else. She'll b toodiintyto
lay a hand to auything, and will
spend her time reading, sleeping
aud lolling iu the hammock. She
might Lave waited to be asked."
'I know it will prove an inflic
tion,'7 tbe husband consolingly said.
"But I guess there's nothing to do
but to ber ir. Things may not turn
out so bad as ytu fancy they will."
He got into the wagon and drove
off. Mrs. Henderson walked into
the spring house to chum the but"
ter. She wa- seldom peev'h and
rarely complaiued, but the visit
n ally seemed inopportune. She was
not very strong, and as she worked
early and late and took no recre-.
ation, it was beginning to tell on
her nerve.
Tbe farm was not entirely paid
for, and they were not able to keep
a girl. She was a sensible little wo
man, aud felt hat it was her duty
to second her thrifty husban's ef
forts. Leisure, if not competency,
would come by and by.
Iu descending the steps ot the
Spring bouse she fen aml grained
hr ankle, tbe pain being go great
that she almost fainted.
?'That means a week of u forced
idleness,"' she despiringly thought.
Time so precious, and that tab-r
ionably -reared niece of George's
more of a hindiance than a help.
Qb, dear J "
Atter much paicful effort she
succeeded iu reaching the sitting
room, and threw herself npon the
VV'aitoi table lounge. She fell into a
doze, and when she opened ber eyes
nere Btood Fanny Atwood, looking
down into her face.
She had ou a plain, sensible-looking
traveling dres. Her figure was
compact, her complexiou healthy,
her air cheerful, her denuaneor
ielf-possessed. Her chek' were
limpled, her mouth iudicated res
lutiou, her soft brown eyes offered
confidence and invited it. She had
valked two miles through the hot
nun, over a dusty road, but one
vould hardly have thought so, she
looked so ueat, clean aud placid.
"You are my Aunt Mattie, I sup
post f she said, in a low, sweet
voice, a smile lurking among her
dimples.
"Yes," Mrs. Hendersou said with
au effort. "Your uncle forgot to
iive me your letter uutil tbis morn
ing. He could not meet you because
he hud to deliver the milk over at
the other railroad at tbe hour you
named. I am sorry jou Lad to
walk."
"I wasu't vexed about it," replied
che visitor. "Nor am 1 in a hurry
about my trunk."
"I spraiued my ankle," Mrs- Hens
Jersou said, "I am afraid I wil not
:e about lor three or four days."
"That is too bad," commiserating
y rejoined Miss Atwood. "It Beems
I was just to come. I can d ever
40 many thiugs for you."
"Ye,'' grimly assented Mrs. Hen
iersou.
'Til first look after that ankle,''
tbe visitor said, briskly, cheerfully.
She removed ber dainty-docking
cutis, and then took off her aunt's
shoe and stocking.
"It is considerably swollen,"' she
said.
'T am not surprised,'' replied
Mrs. Henderson. "You'll find a bot
tle of liuiment in the cupboard,
yonder."
"I wouldu't put liuiment on it
just yet," advised Fanny. "Have
you any sugar of lead !'
"Very likely. Look in that med
icine box iu the cupboard. There's
a little of everyting there, almost.'
Fanny found the sugar of le;id,
and then some linen suitable for a
bandage. She put the sugar laj
in a ba-in, added c M wat r, soaked
rhe band-ige in it and then wrap
ped it arouud the swollen ankle.
She went about it like a professional
curse.
"That feels very cooling," Mrs
Henderson gratefully said.
"There is nothing reduces aswei
ing like sugr of lead water," re
plied Fanny. "I'll wet the bandage
-?very now and then with it. Just
you remain quiet, dearie, and don't
bother yourself about anything.
You have no girl '
"No child," Mrs. Henderson said.
-We cannot afford to keep one.''
'Til get uncle his dinner,'' an
nounced Fanny.
"You'i I get George 'his di nner!'
repeated Mrs. Henderson.
Fanny uoticed the incredulity in
her tone, laughed prettily, and said:
"Why shouldn't I f If yon will
allow me to skirmish around I'll
manage to find things. However, it
isn't near dinner time yet. When I
went to the kitchen for the bansin
I saw yoa bad sprinkled the clothes
Shall I iron them
She saw the odd smile that came
to ber tired aunt's lips and correct"
ly inteipreted it.
"Maybe you think I can't iron?'
she pleasantly said. 44 Just you wait
and see.''
"Bat the dress you have ou, Miss
Atwood ? It -''
"Was selected for service,'' com
pleted Fanny. 4 Of course I'll put
onone of your aprons.''
When Geo. Henderson returned
from his erraud, he heard some one
singing cheerily 'n the kitchen. He
sttpped in saw his niece ironing'
away as deftly a, if she had spent
the best part of her life at it. She
made such a pretty picture that he
atood still and looked at her. -
'How do yoa do, uncle V1 a twin
kle ot merriment ic- her own broi'n
eyes theti she went and kissed bim,
standing on tip toe to do so.
"I'm glad you've . come, Fanny,
he said with heartiness. "I suppose
Mattie explained why I did not
meet you at the statiou T But, why
are you ironing? Where is Mattie ?''
"She is lying down, uucle. She
fell aud sprained her ankle.''
Mr. Hendersou stepped iuto the
HtKiug room, a look of concern ou
bis face.
"Why, dear, how did this hap
pen ?'' he kindly aked.
"Ob, how does anythiug hap
peu t sue replied a nttJe queru
lously. "Turough my own awk ward
uess, no doubt. I almost fainted, tbe
pain was so great.''
"Does it pain you now dear '
"I am glad to say that it doesu't.
"I'll bathe it with sugar of lead
water," he said. "Tnere isu't auy-
thiug better.1'
"Fanny has already doue that,''
replied the wife. "It was ber own
soggestiou.''
"Ob," ejaculated Mr. Henderson,
with increasing appreciation of his
niece.
"And she iusists upou ironing. A
ptetty mess she'll make of it!"
"Well, mayba not,'' Mr. Hender
son said in aqniet toue. "I watched
her a little while. Mattie, you are a
good iioner, but she is your equal.

think she is a solid, energetic, capa
ble sort of a girl, and it is lucky
that she came."
"Well, I hope it may prove so,"
doubtingly rejoined the wife
"George, there's the butter !''
"I'll churn that '' he said. "We'll
get along. Just you keep yonr mind
at ease. You will get about much
sooner if you do.''
Fanny Atwood prepared dinner,
now and then slipping into the sit-ting-room
to wet the bandage, and
to chat in ber cheery way with ber
patient.
On the third day Mrs. Henderson
was able to hobble into the kifchen
where she found everything in most
excellent order.
4Look at my current jelly,' Fan
m proudly said, as she held up one
r :h' lass jars to tbe fight. It was
rnnslucent and bright a9 ruby tin
ted wine.
'It is very nice,' Mrs. Henderson
said. "How much sugar! did yon
take V
'Pound for pound,' replied Fanny,
4I wasn't extravagaut, was I V
'You were wise,' her aunt said
with a smile.
She opened the door leading iato
the cellar.
'Fanny, did you whitewash fhe
stairway ?' she asked iu surprise.
'Yes, auntie. It needed it. I knew
you meant to do it, for I saw you
had slacked the lime. Isn't it nicely
done?'
'Yery nicely, Mrs. Hendersou
said. 'But it wasn't right for yoa to
do it. Surely yourhand '
'Look at them,' Fanny said, laugh
ing. 'They are as white and soft as
any lady's. I put gloves on aud
then I have a sort cf dainty way of
working. I can do it well without
pitching into it all over. I have a
knack, as mother calls it. If it was
right for you lo whitewash the cel-
I larway, it was right for me to
wnitewash it. I came hre to bln
you and to spare yoa ; to ride tbe
horse, to go to the mill with Uncle
George, and to make myself useful
and welcome. Ii you are not goijg
to let me work, or have any fun,
why, I'll go right back to New York.'
She spoke with volnble earnest
ness, her gestures rapid, her dim
ples rapid, her dimples dancing.
Mrs. Mattie Henderson sat down
in a chair and cried.
'Why, aunt, wh at is the matter?
asked Fauny.her brown eyes widen
ing. '1 hope I didn't say anytbiog
to '
'No,"dear, you didn't,' replied Mrs
Henderson in a broken vo ce. 4I am
crying becan?e I am ashamed ot
my8elf because Ihaveboen so un
kind to you in my thoughts. I sup-i
posed that you would anuoy me,
aud hinder me ; that you would be
helpless, selfish, faalt-flnding ; that
yot - -
But you think more kindly of mo
now, do you not !' interrupted Fan
ny, her hand rnovi ig ciressingly
over her aunt's hair.
Most certainly I do replied Mrs.
Henderson, explosively. 'Tuat is
why I confess my injustice why I
want to make amend why I
'Dou't mind it, aunty,' said the
eweet, forgiving, sympathetic voice.
'I dou't censure you, aud it's all
right now. There may be and, in
fact, there are iirle.8, frivolous,
helpless girls in New York City
ami in other cities but I a n not
oae of them. It I v ?s, I am afr-iid I
would despise msoM.'
'I am glad you buve come, Fanny,
and I will be sorry when you go,
Mrs. Hendersou said, aud she meant
it. 'My prejudices mislead me, aud
i nave oeen taught a lesson. Here
after I'll not be so hasty in estima
ting people, especially before 1 have

Old MaidH.
There is a class of women iu ev
ery age of the world and iu all com
munities called old maids, though
many ot them are ef y ung in life.
They runs! u a iiu- ity et fid a
large place in the social aud domes
tic world. Why the epithet oldshould
be indiscriminately applied to all of
the class is a mystery aud injustice
but it has co ne to be u iderstood iu
a good aud not iu an offensive sense
These old maids, it has beeu said,
fill up the gaps of life, and iu doing
this they fill a void which no others
can rill and make the world all the
brighter and happier. They have a
mission in life ordered by a wise
Providence that, mission lies between
those of father mother, sou and da
ughter and touches all these at ev
ery angle, and thus fills np and
rounds out the grt missiou of
life. .
Miss Alcott said that it was her
destiny to till up the gaps of life;
that she was a wife to her father, a
mother to an orphaned daughter of
her siter,jind still she was daugh
ter and friend. To one who recog
nizes sach a life as "her destiny'
what a noble destiny it is! What a
noble rervice tuongh it be one ol

And how beautifully and grace

are her spirits to be cheered bv
tbe bright sunshine of seniles
and the sati-factious arising from
from neatness, order aud comfort
in the home, who is more willing
and better fitted than the old ma'd?
Are the young ladies to be encour
aged in the duties of the household
taught in the domestic arts and the
intricacies of social science, their
habits corrected and their tastes re
'ined. who en dj this like the geus
tie reaped old maid! A re tK sick to
be visited and minis'ered to with
gentle loviug ban is and words of

she occupies aud the work which
Providence hus astd-jned her have
made her a necess'ty iu the world,
filling a space unoccupied oy others
and at tbe same time deue'oping in
her those gifts and graces which go
very far in the make up of t:e ooly
lite worth living iu thi . world.
There are some luits that fiud
their only complements iu their exs
c-ptiousj there are soane laws boe
greatest exccllenceis ia their breach
and thoir are -cra apparently minor
oiderings of Providenca, which we
are only too apt to iorget or fail
properly to understand that are ab
solutely necessary to the filling up
and rounding out of the general
plan. In no other life tiin that of
an old maiden those laieut taluta
bo evoked which show in its true
glory the devmeuesa of the female
character. There is a beauty and a
glory in youth. Ther is a diviuity
in motherhood and each shines in
its own peculiar light to the glory
and praise of G d: but there is a
bva-ity aud glory io old maidbood
which for the true excellence of our
humanity, lor the value of noble
elt sacrifice, and fo: rhd illustra
tion an I glorification of tbe -ex, out
shines ail. She is an 'XrepMon to all
ge-ieral laws fiii-u a destiny not
contemplated in the grrden of E I-
en an-i mao )o til .5 result of tne tall

overruled for the gol ot .society

Aud in this how biautiiuily ap
pear the wisdom and the love ot
God. Like much other of the good
that has survived tbe fall it comes
iu a way least expected. It comes
by accommodation. It comes con
trary to our plans and wishes. It
comes on thf heel of disapp iut

graces which shin in life as the
brightest ornament ot the female
character.
We levereuce the old maid. We
look upon her as necessary to the
highest well being ot society. Her
very existence rills a gap of life as
well a tbe noble life she lives. We
leel that life would not be as cLe?r

The Farmer H'lio Kobhed Hi
Boy.
Last spring a farmer found m his
flock a irtin winch t be -in I Jirr would
oot own. He gave it to b:s s n, a
boy fifteen years o'd, who saved ij
and raised it: The boy called it h's
all summer, all the family called ir
bi, and it ws his. P.at this .'ah
when the father sold tue other
lambs he let this ore go with them,
and takiug tbe pay for it tucked i:
into bis wallet and carried it off to
pay taxes or put it m th bank.
Now this faroier did not intend to
do any toiug wrong. Least of all
did be intend to wrong hi bov.
Probably be did not give the matter
macb thought any way ; r.ud if be
did he conj-idered ihe bovs owner-
ship ct the lamb a sort of pleasng 1 , , ,. ,. ,

ction or reasoned that the boy, , , - . , , ,. , 1
, .... . ... ;'pler which lav on th kitchen ta-
having all his needs supplied out of
the famdypurse, did not need tbe
pay for the lamb, and it was better
to put into the common fund. But,
for all tba taking the lamb and
selling it in that way, and pocket
ing tbe proceeds was stealing. Xo
it was robbery, an, as between this
boy and bis father, one of the mean
est robberies tint could be perpe
trated. Not only thi', bnt by robbiug
the boy of that two d. .liars the far

No matter how well the boy's
wants are supplied from a fund
which is common to tbe whole lam
ily, he takes no particular interest
in adding to tbt because he does
not feel that it is his, and he tires
of labor and thought, the proceeds
