John abouuj find borne paradise ; he should always see a smiling face, shouM fare sumtueousl y every 'day, and never know the loss of n button. She brought so much love energy and cheerfuli.es to (be work, that she could not but sue eced, in spite of some obstacles. Her paradise was not a traiHjuil one ; for tbe little woman fussed, was over anx ious to please, and bustled about like a true Martha, cumbered with many cares. She was too tired, sometimes. even to smile: John crew dyspeptic after a course of dainty dihes, and un gratefully demanded plain fare. As for oultons, hhe soon learned to wohder where they went, to shake her bead over tbe carelessness of men, and to threaten to make him kw Altera on him self, and then see if bis work would stand impatient tngs and clumsy fingers any tetter than hers, They were very happy, even after they discovered that they couldn't live on love alone. John did not find Meg's beauty diminished, though she beamed at bun frun behind the fa mil tar coflec-pt ; nor dtd Meg rmae any of :be romanee from tbe daily parting, wise her husband followed up hi kiss with tbe tender inquiry, "Shall I send home soote veal or mutton for dinner, darliiuz 1" Tbe little bouse ceased to be a glorified bower, but it became a home, add the y oung couple soon (cJt tha it was. a change for the better. At first tbey played fcetp bouse, and frol icked over it like children ; then John took steadily to busine.s, feeling thi care of the bead of a family resting up on his shoulders ; and Meg laid by her cambric wrapper, put on a big apron and fell to work as before satd, with more energy than diaeretiou. While tbe cooking mania lasted, she went through Mrs. Cornelius' Receipt Book as if a was a mathematical ex ercise, working out the problems with patience and care. Sometime ber p family were Invited to help eat up A too bounteous feast of successes, or Lot ta would he privately despatched with S batch of failures which were to be concealed from all eyes, in the cotiveb tent stomachs of tbe little Ilummela. An evening with John over the acopuut books usually produced a temporary lull ia the culinary enthusiasm, and a frugal fit would ensue, during which tbe poor man wou:d be put through a course of bread pudding, hash, and v.araacd-rvr uBeeJ which tried his soul, although he bore it with praie worthy fortitude. Before the golden mean was found, however, Meg added to her domestic posses tons what young couple seldom get along without a family jar. Fued with a housewifely desire to ber store-room stocked with home made preserves, she undertook to put ujberoAu currant jeiiy. John was requested to order bouse a Juzea little pots, and an extra quantity of sugar, f r ijboir own currents were ripe, and were to be attended to once. As John firmly .believed thai umy wife" was equal to a) thing, and took, a natural pride in her skill, he resolved that sbe should be gratified, and their only crop of fruit laid by in the most pleasing form fur winter use. Home came four doz n d l igbltul little pots, half a bar- rel of sugar, and a small buy . to pick tbe currents for her. With ber pretty hair tucked into a little cap, arms bared to the elbow, and a checked apron, which had s coquettish look, in spite of the bah, the young housewife fell to noik feeling no doubts sb tut her success ; for hadn't sbe seen Hannah do it hundreds of unies ? The array of pots rather amazed Der at nrst, Out Joint was so tend of jelly, and the nice little jar would look so welt on the top shelf' that Meg resolved to fill tbeiu all, and so spent a long day pickling boiling, straining, and fussing over her jellev. She did her best ; sbe asked advice of Mrs. C melius ; she racked ber brain to remember what Hannah did ihat she had left undone ; re-btUed, re sugared at.d re-strained, but that dreadful stuff would not "jell." Sue longed to run home, bib and all and ask mother toieuda band, but John, and she had agreed that tbey would never annoy si y one wi'.h their private worries, experiments of quarrels They had laughed over that last word, as ia tbe idea it suggested was h most preposterous one , but they had held to their resolve, and whenever tbey could get on without help they did so, and no one interfered for Mrs. March had advised the plan. So Meg wrestled aluue with tbe refractory sweetmeats all that hot summer day, and at five u clock aat down in ber topsy-turvy kitchen, wrung her bedaubed bauds, ted up her voice, and wept. Now, in the first flush of tbe new life, she had often said : "My husband shall always feel free to bring a friend home whenever he kes- i shall always be prepaied ; the? e shall be no flurry, no scolding no discomfort, but a neat bouse a cheerful wife, and a good dinnei. John, dear, never etp to ask my leave ; invite w h.m you please, and be sure of a wel come from me. . - How charming that was to be sure ! John quite glowed with pride to b-sr ber say it, and felt whata blessed thing it was to have a superior wife. But s although tbey had company from time to time, it never happened to be un expected, and Meg had never had an opportunity to distinguished herself tilt now. It slwsys happen so in this vale of tears ; there was an inevitabili ty about the jelly ; it really would have been unpardonable in him to cbooae that day, of all the dsys in the year to bring a friend home to dinner unex pectedly. Congratulating himself that a handsome repast bad been ordered that morning, leeling that it would be ready to the rtunuu, and indulging in pit asant anticipations of the charming effect it wou d produce, when his pret ty wife came out to meet hiui, be escor ted bis friend to his mansion, with the irrepi eaeiblu satisfaction of a young bust and husband. Il is a world of disappoi utments as John discovered when he reached the dove-cot. The trout door usually stood hospitably open; now it was only shut hut locked, and yesterday's mud still adorned the steps. The parlor win dows were closed, and curtained, no picture of the.pretty wife sewing on the pteega in white, with a dtstrac ting little bow iu her hair, or a bright eyed hos tess, smiling a shy w-elboiue as she greeted her guest. Nothing of tbe sort for not a soul appeared, but a sanguinary looking buy asieep under tbe currant bus bee. , - c w ; . . ; . -I'm afraid something has happened : step into Uie garden, Scott, while I look up Mis. Brooke,' said John, alarmed' at tbe siieuce and solitude. Round tbe house be shot, and in the kitchen found two-thu da of what waeu'l current jelly sitting about here and there, two jell) pots bro oft, anil tbe other burning gaily on the stove.--LotU, with Teutonic phlegm, was calm ly ea.mg Usad and current wme, for she jittyvaaa st& bopeluesylujuid state, while Mr Brooke with her apron over her head, sal wbi?io& dismally. ,"My4twattfirl what is jhe,. at- 9RsSp555 lion at the thought of the guest in garden. i rdj Jm 'oh John I am so tired,,ei but. -audi worried.

"What wonie you, dear? Has anything happened f" asked anxious John, tenderly kissing the uQpWii of the little cap, which wasallakew. 'Yes" sobbed Meg dspsiriugly w'Iell me quick then ; don't CWft 1 can bear anything better th in that; out with it, love," a "Tbe-r-the jelly won 110 don't know what to do." IT Q 03 o . v .
