fact, she howls dismally, inasmuch ns
theso woesome sounds really iudicatu
light-hcartedness, nro evidence of con
tent, they nro tolerated. At nn early
slugo of Iter term of servitude sho gives
evidence of thu possession of what may
lie delicately described as intelligence of
a peculiar order. Encountered on tho
hack stairs bearing buckets of water, sho
explains that she wns ordered to turn
tho water off from the bath-room tho
night before; that she hns received no
onier to turn it on in thu morning, and
that therefore, in order to fill tho sowers
sho must depend upon tho faucets in tho
kitchen, iler explanation is received
approvingly, mental reference being mado
to tho heroic act of tho well-known Cos-
kbiauca, and tho less well-known vigil of
ticn. llavelocks son, upon iOiidon
Bridge. Not so much satisfaction is
manifested when ncasual request to light
tho gas in tho drawing room ut
tho samo timo that sho clcscs the shut
ters, is interpreted as an order to start
every burner in that apartment at its
full capaoity, especially as thu careful
closing of tho drawing room doors, joined
to tho absenco of thu family from homo
during tho tiventne, results in tho bril
liant illumination remaining in tho full
blast until tho next morning to tlio
material ndvantogo of tho gas company.
Several amiable indiscictions of some
what similar character lead easily nud
naturally to tho development of a pro
found conviction on tho part of tho ad
ministrative head of tho houso that tho
iiiiw.iin.il girl is littlo better than, as
ho himself expresses it, "a imtitnil-born
fool." Tho executive head of tho house,
w hoso gentle nature resents such harsh
phraseology, ami who still bears in
mind it lively remembrancu of tho old
hired girl's cyclonic and volcanic ways,
puts in thu extenuating pica that oven
if bIiu is a littlo stupid sometimes sho is
so food liiiturcd, cheerful nml will
ing that her errors of judgment
should bo torsiven her. Unties go
along upon this basis of equitable com
pensations for fcomo time. Tho now
hired girl's good nature, cheerful
ness and willingness briug her forgiven
neas for telling 11 former caller. "She's
not nt home, ma'am; sho making jolly in
tho kitchen for the party to-morrow,
nu'in;" for putting thu claret in ice, on
tho occasion of the party referred to, be
causo that was what she had been
onlered to do with the champagne; for
assaulting with bath brick and ias tho
silver sho had lieen told to clean, and for
a wholo string of liko performances, cal
diluted to woik confusion and breed
trouble. Finally, when sho loaves Kil
room windows oihjii during a driving
mill storm, because sho had been told
that the bed rooms uve to 1k aired every
day, it becomes evident that she must
go. M10 takes her dismissal, as slit) has
taken tho vanoub ratines bestowed upon
her for her misdeed, with placid good
nature. Sho is docile, willing, cheerful
to tho hist. Calmly, amiably, the now
hired girl, with the dewy freshness of her
newness still uiwn her, iiacks up herbac
like thu Anib, and silent!) steal nway.

Catching a Son-in-Law.
It wns tho second timo ho had accom
panied tho young lady homo from ono of;
thoso littlo social parties which nro so
often gotten up to bring fond henrts a
step nearer to each other.
When thoy reached the tnto sho asked
him if ho would como in. Ho said ho
would, nnd followed her into tho Iioubo.
It was a calm, still night, and thu hour
was so Into that ho find no fear of scenic
tho old folks. Sarah took his hat, told t
him to sit down, nnd bIio left tho room '
to lay off her things. Sho was hnrdlv
gonu beforo her mother camo in. smiled
sweetly and dropped down besido tho
young man, and bho said:
"I always tlid say that if a poor but
respcctablo young man fell in lovo with
baraii hu should havo my consont
Somo mothers would sacrifice their
daughters happiness for riches, but I
am not ono of that class."
Tho young man gavo a start of nlarm.
Ho didn't know whether ho liked Sarah
or not, and ho hadn't dreamed of such a
thing as marriage.
"Sho has acknowledged to ino that sho
loves you," continued the mother, "and
what is for her happiness is for mine."
Tho young man gavo two iitarts ofc
alarm this time, nnd ho felt his checks
grow pale.
"I I haven't," he Mummorod, when
sho said :
"Oh, novcr mini.. 1 know you haven't
much inonoy, but, of course, you'll livo
with inc. Wo'll take in boarders, and
I'll risk that wo'll got along all right."
It was a bad situation. Ilo hadn't
oven looked lovo at Sarah, nnd ho thought
to undeceive tho mother.
"I hadn't no itloa of of " ho btain
incrcd, when she held up her hands, and
said :
"I know you hadn't, but it's all right.
With your wages and what tho boarders
bring in wo shall got nlong as snug o
bugs in n rug."
"Hut madam, butbut"
"All I nsk is that you bo good to her,"
interrupted the mother. "Sarah has a
tender heart nnd n Iovinc nature, and if:
you should bo crow or ugly it would
oreaK uer ttown within n week.
Tho young man's eyes stood out liko
cocoanuts in a show window, and ho roso
up and trail to say something. Ho said:
"Ureat heavens I madam, I can t per
mit" "Never mind alwut tho thanka," sho
interrupted, "I don't beliove in long
courtships myself, nnd lot mo suggest aa
early day for tlio marriage. Tho 23d of:
September is my birthday, and it would
bo nico for you to bo married on that
dav."
'"Hut but but I"
"There, there I I don't expect any
speeches in reply," sho laughed. "You
and Sarah fix it uii to-night, and I'll try
to bo a model mother-in-law. I lwliovo
I am good-tempered and kind-hearted,
though I did onco follow 11 youg man
t!00 miles and shoot tho top of his head
off for agreeing to uarrv Sarah and then
jumping tho country !"
ciio paiieu nun on tho head and slid
out, and now that young man wants ad
vice. Ilo wants to know whether ho
had better get in tho way of a locomo
