Here lay the dally toll of Mr. Nathan Larkln, assistant principal,' a sensitive, , conscientious fellow, of Indomitable . will, loving work, and tolling to kindle in duller brains and lighter natures his own enthusiasm and his own resolve. The Reverend Edward -Granules, D. IX, Ph. D., LL. I)., principal of the Quaboag Seminary, being a gentleman of phleg matic temperament, much addicted to heavy din ners at noonday, was quite willing to let his es teemed young friend do most of the pulling of the double team, especially through the hard places, though simply for his own lmprovemenUof -course f racticed vivisection, should be, to his thinking; hough for opposite reasons, like Wordsworth's uicy, i A maid whtn tbers m pods to praise, Aad very few t lovs." He fancied he knew . how she would look ; slight. sandv-comDlexloned. her light. character less hair very neat and wholly uninteresting, her dress very upright and uncompromising about the biases, collars and cuffs prim and spotless no "sweet neglect" about her, nor even "th adulter ies of art," which, notwithstanding Ben Jonson, he thought most bewitching. She was so distsnt cousin that kinship had not made the Invitation obligatory. But his mother had dearly loved her son motherland when that gentle widow-wrote that her dear Allls had returned, and that she longed to have hei ever-beloved Candace know her before she settled down ! to - her profession, the ever- beloved and ever-obliging Candace replied at once that the young traveler should be made welcome. -' A caravan of unexpected guests could not upset Aunt Larkln's perfect order, nor find her garrison pn provisioned. But she confided to Thanny. that she "expected a girl 't had lived to Paris would find their way of Ilvln' dreadful old-fashioned and common." And heguessed that.shesecretJy dreaded the' Incursion," as be did. Polite he would certainly be, but be thought he would move his books out to tbe stable loft, and live as little as possible at home while. Dr. Allls remained. He wished women would keep to their own sphere, and let men's work alone. By the time the two sessions were over, the compositions inspected, all the school 'chores" done, and bis face turned homeward, he was sure that he detested unwom anly women, and of these sinners he reckoned women doctors chief est. As he opened .JbekJtchea-doorrAbadlah's Sarah Stood revealed, buxom, red-armed, good natured, carefully straining aromatic broth Into a china bowl. " 'Twas her notion," she explained. "I shouldn't never have tecbed tbe best set no, nor made tbe soup neither 'thout tell In'. I took her up tbe toast and tea, 's you said, an' she never looked at 'em. But the said she must takesuthln', an' she made it herself. . You never see seen a bandy little thing. My! I guess the full soul could eat that mesa. Honey-comb's cloy in' alwus.

'Taiu't strange the old doctors, that Jest look owlish, ah' don't do no good, don't want .women inter the business." They'd steal the trade in no time. There's sour cream enough, an' I told her I'd make some tip-top flapjacks for supper. 'Don't you take an extra step for mer Sarah,' she says. 'I'm going to feast on. brown bread an' milk while I stay.'

Aunt Larkln having repeated for thirty years that she "didn't see the sense of havin' a girl clatterln' round to pick up after," and her son being accustomed to accept as final whatever do mestic views his mother promulgated, received the new dispensation with submission on tbe one part and rejoicing on the other. .The doctor's luggsge appeared to . consist In great part of "Franklin Square'? novel, and the infinite riches," In a little room, of the "Half-hour Series." And when Nathan came home one afternoon to find his mother comfortably rocking In her large chair on the veranda, deep In the fortunes of the "Great est Heiress In England," Instead of stirring up pancakes or making button-holes, he said to him self, "Allls Is a witch, bless her!" Yes, already It had gone so fsr that the unwomanly doctor was "Allls0 to him, and at tea this .studious young ssge, who spent all his leisure In gardening among classic roots, announced that as to-morrow would be Saturday, be wasiure they could not do better than to drive over to Bethesda Springs, all of them, and spend an Idle day In that great Van ity Fair.- r-,- But to-morrow It was Nathan's turn.
