The squire went home, selecting
the shady path which lay part way
through the woods, aud crossiug
the noisy little stream on a make
Hditt bridge tormed oy a fallen ce
dar tree. Far down in the green
cross-lights and glinting reflections
ot the glen, he could see Will Dal
las, who had abandoned all preteus
es or nshing, and lay on tne moss
at Mary Sadley's feet, reading aload
to her, out of some uocket volume
of poetry. The squire frowned.
"Spooniug as usual," growled
he, under his breath, and pushed
steadily on. "
The old homestead, painted white,
with a refreshing contrast of green
blinds lay basking in the vivid
sunshine. The squire looked at it
with a complacent sense of proprie
torship, as he went aronnd to- the
back-door, where a great honey
suckle viue was all in curls of buff
and white blossoms. The roomy
kitchen, with its shining copper
boiler and white-board hoor, was
silent and empty. He looked
around. .
"Hallo!" he shouted. "Is every

the front room.
"Husli, father V said she, holdiug

"Asleep !" roared the squire. "A

the whole house wide open, ready
for any tramp that may come along,
and your grandmother'8 silver
spoons in plain view on the dresser
shelf. Asleep "
"I'm sorry, Titus," said an apolo
getic voice, as a pale, shadowy lit
tle woman issued from the hall be-
ond, where she had been lying on
a Procrustean lounge, fashioned of
unpainted piue boards, and draped
with a lumpy mattress, "I hadn't
any idea of falling asleep when 1
lay down ; but my head ached a
little it's the beat, I suppose and
I felt dizzy. I'm very sorry, but
surely it isn't twelve o'clock yet."
"It don't lack mauy- miuutes of
it,'' said the squire, gloomily, look
ing at the big wooden clock, whose
fa black Roman numerals glared
back at hiin from behind a. green
nebulseof asparagus branches. "The
heat, eh ? Well, I s'pose other
folk feel it, too. My head acbes,

wheu a man comes home tired and
beat out from the hay field, he nat

fortable I don't know what a wom
an hasher board and her keep for,
if it ain't to ?ee that meals is reg'lar

"I'm sorry, Titu?," nervously re
iterated the little woman, fluttering
to aud fro like a 1 a oie" winged pig
eon, "but I'll make all the baste I
can. Dinner will soon be ready.
Here. Kitty," (to the child) "wash
'hese potatoes in the sink as quick
as you can, aud trim the beets, while
I run out for some kindlings to bur
ry op the fire."
A minute afterward, he could
hf ar the quick stroke of the hatch
et, and he bethought himself that,
in the hurry incident to baying
time, the pile of kindHngs had been
allowed to get low.
"It does seem,'' he said, petulant
ly, "as if everything hindered a
man's dinner."
"Then, father," said Kitty, glanc
ing shrewdly over the top of the tin
potato-pan, "why don't you go out
and split the kindlings, and let
mother 'feud to the things indoors?"
"Hush, Kitty," said Mrs, Sadley,
quickly, as she touched a match to
the mass of crumpled papers under
the grate.
"Where's the last Gazettef" snarled
the squire, ignoring Kitty's query.
"Ob, Titus," cried his wife, "I've
just set fire to it ! I supposed, of
course, yon'd read it it's a week
old to-day, you know."
"Of course," said Squire Sadley,
''I might have known without ask
ing! It's waste and fling away and
burn up in this bouse. There ain't
nothing safe where an extravagant
woman's concerned !"
'Mother ain't extravagant!" said
Kittv.
"Where's them peas I brought in
this morning?" sharply demanded
the squire, looking around him,
with Argus eyes.
"There isn't time to shell them
now," said Mrs. Sadley, timidly.
'Time time !' repeated her hus
band. 'Of course there ain't time,
if you sleep away your life on that
there aofy. I mean to have it taken
away to-morrow. It s a deal too
handy. What's the use o' my plant-
ia' the earliest peas in market, and
hoeih' and brushin' 'em, if my folks
hain't life enough to cook 'em?'
'I'll hare 'em tor eupper," said
Mrs. Sadley, with a little tremolo in
her voice.
'No you wont, neither,' said the
squire. M'll send 'em over to Neigh
bor Barton's, wife's got some
snap in her ! I declare, it's clear
discouragiu' for a man to be dragged
back all the time by a shiftless wife!'
A big round drop plashed down
into the frying-pan which Mrs.
Sadley was just preparing to receive
sundry slices of well cured ham
which she had been cutting; she
made no verbal reply, however.
'Eli ?' said the squire, 'why don't
sou say something? Sulking, 1
s'pose, as usual i'
At this, poor Mrs. Sadley burst
into tears.
'No, Titus,' said she, 'I ain't sulk-
ng. nut l reel awtul bad to-day,
and it don't rake much to upset me.
It '3 all true what you say. I am a

'Then,' said Kitty, the enfant ter
rible, 'how do you suppose mother

In an instant, however, her fickle
childish attention was diverted.

Cousin Mary and Mr. Dallas over
the hill! Ob, father! they're en

Yes absently answered the
squire, intent on his paper.

aid Kitty, with a twinkle of an eye,
aud they didn't know it. And I
heard them talking to each other.
Aud he called her his darling

Humph!" grunted, the Squire.
A reg'lar case o' spooning."
And she said he was hr dearest,
iearest one," added Kitty the circum
stantial.
"Young tools !" snapped Squire I
Sadley.
Father,' said Kitty, leaning on
bis shoulder she was the only one
n tbe bonse who was not afraid of
the Btem despot "don t all lovers
talk so ?"
"They're fools for their pains, if
they do."
"Didn't you love mother when she
was a girl like Oousiu Man? Did
n't you say just such things to her?"
The squire moved uneasily in his
chair under the calm, searching
light of Kitty's eyes.
"I might ha' done," he owned at
last. "I s'spose I was just as great
an idiot as other folks be."
"1 don't see why people ever leave
it off," said Kitty abstractedly.
"Was mother a pretty girl ?"
"Don't talk nonsense," said the
equi re, almost angrily; and he got
up and walked around to the od
wooden bnch beside the well curb.
Had Kitly's mother been a pretty
girl les, that she had rose
cheeked and limpideyed, with a
l iugh sweet as the note of a thrush,
and the lightest foot, in a Virginia
reel, of any girl in the neighbor
hood. And now, "I am a poor,
wornout, feeble creature," she had
said, in the faiut, weary accents,
looking at him out of the dim, fad
ed eyes; "and I dou't blame you
for getting out of patieuce.'' Yes ; it
was all true. But what had wrought
tue change? Whose fault was it?
"I don't know,'' said the wquire,
staring at Heaven's blue eye reflect
ed far down in the heart of the deep,
cjoI well, "but I'most think I've
been too hard on her. Now I come
to study on it, I've had lots o' hired
help about the farm aud she's done
ail the housework herself. And she
uever was very strong ! Was she a
pretty girl ? There wasn't none
prettier in a radius o' twenty miles
around Kingsley Church 1 And to
look at her now t'?
The squire got up and stamped
uueasily around the well.
"I've been a brute!" he muttered
to himself. "Worse than a dumb
brute for they ain't suppose! to
know no better. 1 don't know what
rve been thiukmg of, all these
years. Leave off loving her ?
bKin't never left it off. I love her
aow bless her faithful patient soul
a-? well as ever I did, onlv I've fell
into the way ot bein' carele.-s and
neglectful. But I'll turu over a new
leaf this very day, see if I don't?"
He kept his word.
"Engaged Mary ? Is it really a
settled thing?" said Mrs. Sadley
"Ob, I hope you'll be bappy! I hope,
after twelve years of marriage, dear
Mary, you'll be as happy as I am
now!"
Her eyes shone: a faint color
ou her ordinary pale cheeks. Mary
Sadley looked at her in surprise.
"Would you belies'e,", went on
the squire's wife, "he has hired
girl to come here aud do all the
rough work, so as to spare me? And
there is such an easy, spring-up-
noisterea sora in tne uaw, m place
of the lumpy old lounge; aud there's
one of the hay-bands splitting a
pile ot wood to last from now to

did then. Such nonsense, you kuow;
aud yet it is nice of him to say so
uow, isn't it?''
And Mrs. Sadley laughed through
her tears.
Pour soul! The sunshine had
come late in life, yet it filled her
whole being with blessedness.
"I'm so glad?" said Mary. But
you deserve it all, Cousin. Euuice.''
And the newly betrothed lovers
whispered to each other that the
milennium must surely be at band,
tor what else could so have changed
the squire?
They did not stop to reflect that
there is truth in the old saw: Good
in all, and none all good."

Mr. Cleveland's advantage lies in
tie fact that he originated the pol

duties us our State chief have not
called for any couspicuous utter
