Lennox sighed ns. she rubbed rubbed the glasses of her spectacles, y dear,' said she, ¢ I should have had more if. T could have afforded them. But the tithes are hard, and---' TE I've beard all that before,' said Mary Irrev tly. {But the question is, grandma, aball we do about the washing, now rina cannot come ?' Jars. Lennox heaved another sigh. She was old and rheumatic, and the great piled up basket of clothes seemed a terrific bug bear before her eyes. I'm sure I don't know, said she. + But if you girls will help alittle about getting dinner, I will try and sce what T can do, It must be got out I suppose, and. ! » But here a slight, dark-eyed girl, with a clear, olive complexion, and wavy back hair growing low on her forehead, turned from the table; where she was rinsing china, You will do nothing of the kind, grand. ma,' snid she as resolutely agif she had been seventy instead of seventeen. 'You attempt a day's washing, at your age ?' 'But my dear,' said grandma Lennox, feebly, 'who shall do it?! «I will," said the dark-eyed lassie, 'Georgie, I'm surprised at you! said Mary 'why you never did such a thing in your life I" 'That's no reason I never should.' ¢ But, Georgie--if any one should see you!' ¢ We don't generally receive company in the kitchen,' said Gebrgio Lennox, | ¢ And if any one should come in Well 7 ¢ If they like my ocenpation I shall be very much pleased ; if they don't, they are quite at liberty to look the other way |' And Miss Lennox tied a prodigious crash apron around her, rolled up her s'eeves, and resolutely took her stand in front of the wash bench, * It seems too bad, my dear, with those little white hands of yours,' said old Mrs. Lennox, irresolutely, £Oh, wy hand|' laughed Georgie. ¢ What are they good for if they do not make them- selves usefal 7 Mary drew herself disdainfully up. ¢ Well)! she said, 'I never yet stooped to such degradation as that I! «It would be a good deal worse degrada-- grandmother do the washing,' observed Georgie, with philosophy, as she plunged her hands into the snowy mass of suds. Old Mrs, Lennox had been left with a picteresque farm house on the edge of Sidonia Lake, and nothing else, And so old her slender means by the reception of sum- mer borders. And in September, when her two grand-danghters obtained their fort. nights leave of absence from the type-sett, ing establishment in Proy where they earn. ed their daily bread, they came home for a breath of fresh mountain air, and helped grandma Lennox with her borders, For there was no girl kept at the farm house, and no outside assistance called in except ns Gérman Katrina came once a week to wash and scrub, . ¢ It's drudgery,' sighed Mary, who was tal and slender, with fair complexion, doll.bloe eyes, and a Byronic dissatistaction with her lot in life. It's tun!' cried Georgie, who had no such exalted aspirations, and liked to make custards, wash china and decorate the tea. table with flow: rs, * You'll hang out these clothes for me, Mary, won't you ?' said Georgie, as she flung the last red bordered towel on the top of the clothes basket, while I wash the pillow cases 2 ¢ Indeed Ishall not,' said her sister. "With the Miss Pooleys playing croquet in plain sight ? Never. # Then I must do it myself,' said Georgie with a little shrug of the shoulders, 'And'-- Just as she spoke there came a tap at the kitchen door, #Come in !' cried Georgie; viliantly, while her sister with burning cheeks, endeavored 80 hid herself and her occupation of peel- ing onions behind the big roller-towel., And Mr, Raymond Smith 'walked in,' ac- cordingly. ! +I beg your pardon, Miss Georgie," he said rather blandly. ¢1 didn't know I should disturbe you.' ¢Oh, you've not distrbing me at all,' said Georgie, serenely, resting one dimple-dotted, rosy elbow on the washboard, and looking like a practicalized copy of one of Guido's angels, out of a cloud of soapy steam.

Helen Ashton's Married Life. ¢ No breakfast ready yet! I do wish I could get my meals when I want them; I should have been off an hour ago. This was the greeting John Ashton gave his wife, one cloudy spring morning, as be strode in- to the kitchen, « It will be ready in ten minutes,' said Mrs Ashton, 'I am sorry, but baby is so cross, and there were the children to dress, for Ellen has not returned yet.' The baby was erying lustily in his crib in one corner, while the two other little ones, Bertie and Annie, were playing horse up and down the room, and shouting with de- light. The noise irritated John, and sciz. ing the baby he gave him a good shaking, while the little fellow resented by screaming Jouder than ever; while little. Annie who, at sight of her father, had left her play to lisp 'Morning, papa,' found her- self seated not very gently in a chair, with a warning not to move till breakfast was ready. «0, John! how could you ?' said his wife, «Poor baby is hungry; I was obliged to neglect him or spoil the Lreakfas®.' 'There is no need of his crying so, why can he not be quiet some time ?' « You know he is not well, said Mrs. 1 | Ashton ; * he moaned half the night with his teeth.' «It is all nonsense,' said John, * sitting up all night rocking him ; I would give him a good whipping and he would be glad to go to sleep. If you would manage the children better they would not be so much trouble ; but you are spoiling them all.' Mis. Ashton thought of the weary hours she had sat by the crib, while her husband slept undisturbed, and it seemed very hard to be fcund fault with ; angry words rose to "| her lips, but she checked them and gave the children their places at the table. Her heart was too heavy to say much as she wiped away little Annic's tears, for John's face was cloudy as the sky, and he swallowed his breakfast apparently without noticing that she had prepared with great care his favorite dish in the absence of the only servant, But there was no breakfast for her till all was cold, for baby ust be taken up, com- forted pnd fed, and the others waited on. Then, as soon as he could be prevailed upon to sit in the crib again, John must be helped oft to the city, and it was run here and there, sew on a button, while he grumbled that his clothes were never ready, with never a kind word or kiss for the pale, thin face that bore all so patiently. | At last he was gone, and Mrs. Ashton took up the baby, who had get breath, She felt tired and worried, and when Aunic came, and stroking, her face He asked me," tafd Georgie. ¢1 shouldn't «Wo arg stirred in his heart when she looked at him | wearied of his playthings, and sat down to #3id, ¢ Poor mati had been restrained 4 fast. «Bertie loves boy.

In'God was her only comfort; Hodloyuiygarilfes her efforts, and crown them, with Suberss: Afters @ whild the baby dropped off to sleep, and, making, him comfortable for his nap, Mrs. Ashton sat down for a day's sewing. ., Ashitog-agould be: absent. all, dd¥, so the Mttre servant who had returned by this time would be able to perform the household duties, and get the simple lunche- on, with the aid of a tew directions from her mistress, As the mother sat and sewed her thoughts went back to the days shen young and free she was an jamate of her father's house in a distant city,--the pet and pride of the house. Not one of her brothers or sisters thought of doing anything without consulting Helen, and she was always ready with counsel or sympathy. Itwas a great grief toall when she left them for her neiy home in a distant raral district, as well as to the circle in which she had moved ; for she was a gereral favorite, Many of her friend wondered what had attracted her to the grave, stern stranger, much older than her self, who had rather repulsed the efforts of her friends to know him better, Her father felt the loss more than anyone ; for she being the eldest girl had grown to be his prop and comfort since the death of her mother some years before, 'But,' he said 'youmust do as you wish in this matter, Helen, you know your own heart, One| who has been such a good daughter must make a true wife, God grunt you have chosen wisely, my darling,' As her thoughts dwelt on (he past, her | | father's words recurred to fier, and she thonght, *Did I choose wisely ? but with 2 sigh of * Too late | too late I' she buried her {aching brow in her hands and wept, for her | heart was tull to bursting. It was hard to keep from comparing the past with the pre- | sent, Then, there was hardly a day bat she | was the recipient of thonghtfulness from | some one ; it might be a drive planned for | | her, or some little token of remembrance, or | her opinion was wanted on some subject, -- | But now, how different! John never seem- ed to think she nedded any change from the daily routine of -houschold and carestand what 'was ber opinion worth nowadays ? Her reward for gentleness and patience with the children was daily fanlt- finding. John was not naturally unfeeling ; !
