RACHEL'S EXPERIMENT.
BY SHIRLEY BROWNE.
"I wouldn't have believed it of
you, Rachel," -Baid Mrs. Edmon-
stone, plaintivelj. "No, I wouldn't,
not unless Bessie Tacker, the manty
maker, had told me; and Betsy she
never tord a lie no more than George
Washington did."
"Why, mother, what are you talk
ing about?" questioned Mrs. Thomas
Edmonstbne, untying the elder la
dy's bonnet strings and relieving her
of a splint basket, a "black silk" bag.
a water-prooi cioag, ana an um
brella.
And I've come to see if its true,''
added the old lady.
"If uokat's true, mother?"
"That you said you wished there
wasn't any such person' as m me !"
faltered Mrs. Edmonstone.
lMother, you know-1 never could
aid such a thing," cried Rach
el. . - r -
"Well, it wasn't quite exactly like
that. But Bessie Tacker, she heard
you say you wished there wasn't any
such thing as a mother-in-law."
"Oh !" cried Rachel, with a hys
terical little laugh, "I plead guilty.
I did say that.. But it was under
such strong provocation, and I never
meant you. How could I, when you
have aIways--always been so good to
me?" '.
"I knew it could not be true," said
Mrs. Edmonstone, . seating herself
in the easiest rocking-chair and nod
ding her- cap-strings comfortably.
"But how came you to make that ex-tra-or-di-na-ry
speech, Rachel, about
mothers-in-law in general?" ; '
."It was Tom," said the young
wife. "He was so aggravating !"
"Thomas always was aggravating,"
said Mrs. Edmonstone, stirring the
cup of tea that Rachel had brought
herl "And what was it about now!
The breakfast cakes?1" . ' ' L
"Oh, you remember about the
breakfast Cakes, don't you?'.' said
Rachei, with merry mischief spark
ling in her eyes. "No, it wasn't the
breakfast cakes this time ; it was the
shirts." - . ; x':
"The shirts I" "
"Well, you remember , about the
shirts ; what he said about them was
it was a wasteful,', extravagant pro
ceeding to' buy,, shirts ready made,"
explained Eacheh ;lHe said. the linen
was poor, and the work regular work
shop, fllop-shop style, s and he de
clared you always used, to make his
shirts at home, 3 everyrstitch, before
he was married." " . - " V - i
"So, '. I did," "acknowledged Mr.
Edmonstone,: with.'a '. groan.. ."But
that was in the old times, before you
coul4 buy such a good article as theyl
, i4Tes, -but' Tom don't make any
allowance for difference in times and
customs sighed Rachel." 'He want

"And he said they: set like ; meal-;;-

the world! -Ana jLJetsy iacKersat

' ."Don't mind it, ; my - dear.&aid
Mrs. Edmonstone "1
' ; NoI won't,' "protested 1 Rachel.
"But "oh,: those '"shirts 1 .Fve been
ripping them apart and sewing them
together again,' and -rounding them
off here and taking a plait there, un
til I've got so that I dream oftam-at
night ; and the , more I try 'em on,
the worse they fit, and the more un
reasonable Tom becomes. 'My mother
never made such work of it as this'
says he. -
"Thomas forgets," observe d Mrs.
Edmonstone, serenely. , -
- "And I am sure if things go on
like this," added Rachel, pushing ber
short brown" curls off, her 'forehead,
"it will end in a Reparation ,on ac
count of -incompatibility of : tern
per.V?v . A , " ?
; "No, it won't, my "dear," said the
mother-i.n-law. I "Here, get- me the
pattern and some shirting ' muslin
and a pair of scissors." ' - - -r
'What are,you going to do, moth
er?' eageriy questioned Rachel. .
"I am goirlg to make Tom a'shirt.
But don't you tell him,-Rachel. We
will see whether it's Tom or the pat
tern that has altered" ' t -
Once more the mischievous light
came into Rachel's bright blue eyes.
"I wish all thcworld was mothers-
in-law," she cried, gleefully. 'Why
why didn't I think of this before?"
"One ' can't think of " everything i
child," said Mrs Edmonstone, con
solingly;.,": - .iz.u
Thomas Edmonstone welcomed his
mother pordially when he came home
from business. - " '
""I'm so glad you've come,' -"said
he. " We can have some of the nice
old-fashioned dishes now.; Rachel
can't seem to get the hang of them,
althougn she has always had your
book of receipts to guide her.'
"Rachel's a great deal better" cook
than ever I pretended to be," said
Mrs. Edmonstone. v "They have" . pa
tent egg-beaters and cream-whippers
and raisin-seeders : and all that' sort
of thing now that they didn't have
in my aay. I never tasted nicer
bread than Rachel makes, and these
popovers are-just de.licious." 3
J'You are just saying that to en
courage Rachel, saidl Mr. Edmon
stone, with an incredulous smile.
"Things will run- smooth now you've
come; that's one comfort.' - -
f'Oh, I should not think of , inter
fering in Rachel's kitchen," said the
old lady; ,
"Please do, mother," coaxed the
wife, not without a certain quiver in
her lip., "Do let Tom. have a remi
niscence of the old days while you
are here-." " "
- ." Well, just as you childen say,"
conceded the mother-in-law," : good
humoredly. ' S - '
She remained a week-at . her son's
house, during which period of time
Tom-was all exultant "complacency.
- fThis,;said ' he, is something like

How to be Happy,
A boon pf inestimable worth "is a
calm, thankful heart a treasure that
few, very few, possesses. v-fWe once
met an old man whose face was a
mixture of smiles and - sunshine.
Wherever he went he succeeded; in
making everybody .; about him ; as
pleasant as bimself. - - -
, Said.5 we, one day for he was', of
that dehghtful class whom everybody
seems privileged to be related Jo
"Uncle, : bow - is it that you "contrive
to be happy ? t. Why is your face ; so
cheerful, when., so -many thousands
are crapau over wnn a mosii" uncom
fortable glodminess?"' f
"My young ihend he answered,
with his placid smile, 1 am even as
others afflicted - with - infirmities. I
have had my.' share -of sorrow- some
would say more but X have found
out the secret of being happy, and it
is this? Forget self ' -v :
'Until you do this you can lay but
little' claim .to a cheerful spirit. For
get what manner or. man you are,
and think more - with,: and rejoice
more : lor, your neighbors, u x am
poor:, let- me look upon my ; richer
friend, and estimating -his blessings,
forget my privations. -.,
: "If my neighbor is building a house,
let me watch with him its progress,
and think, Well, what a comfortable
place it will be, to be sure ! how much
he will enjox it with his family I!
Thus I have a double pleasure that
of delight , in rioting the structure as
it expands into beauty, and making
my Neighbor's weal mine. If he has
planted a fine garden, I feast 'my
eyes on tKc flowers, smell their, fra
grance; couldI do more if it was my
own? ' : - -
v .Another has a family of fine chil
dren,: tney . blessed . nim and are
I.-'- - i- . .. ....... -i, .- .
blessed by him mine are all gone
before me; I have' none that bear my
name ; . shall I, therefore?, envy , my
neighbor .his .lovely- cMldrenf ,?- No,"
let mejenjoy thek" innocent smiles
with him ; let me forget myself my
tears when they- were put away . in
darkness; -or if I wept may it.be for
joy that God took them untainted to
dwell - with His holy angels forever.
... "Believe an old man when he says
there is a great pleasure in living -for
others: . The heart of the selfish man
is like a city full of crooked lanes
ii a generous thought irom spine
glorious temple strays in there, woe
to it it' is . lost, j It s wanders about
and about until enveloped in dark
ness,' as "the mist of j unselfishness
gathers around, it lies, down upon
some : cold thought . to ; die, v and is
shrouded in oblivion, "i " -1 ' ' '""
- "So if you would be happy; shun
selfishness; "do a kindly deed for this
jane," speak a kindly word for another.
He who is constantly giving pleasure
is constantly receiving it. . The little
river goes .to the , great .ocean", and
the more 'it-gives the faster it runs.
Stop its flowing and the hot-sunshine-would
dry it up,;" till it would be but
filthy jmud, sending forth bad odors,
and currupting the.; fresb air "of

1 I say, jmy dear young friend,:take
the word of , an old man for it, : who
has tried every known panacea, 'and
