Most husbands and wives, if we may credit all they say, find it diffi cult to live in the same house with a mother-in-law; but old 'Sol B. (as he was commonly called) of Bos-. ton, dwelt in peace and comfort for several years with five ladies bearing that relation to him. When 1 first knew the old gentle- man he appeared to be about fifty, but was in reality about sixty-eight, and had a charming wife who was then twenty six, and two lovely children, a boy and a girl, one seven and the other five. "His children by his first wife were all married, and themselves, had children oldet than Mr. B 's two youngest. On thefirst day of my visit at his pleasant home, not many miles from Boston, as 1 took my place at the dinner table with Mrs. B JI was surprised to see five old ladies come into the room together, and to be introduced to each of them in succes- sion as follows: --'My own mother, Mrs. B , Senior; my next mo- her Mrs. Henry, my third mother Mrs. James; my fourth mother, Mrs, William; my fifth mother Mrs John. Mrs.B ,senior,"who seemed the youngest of the old ladies laughed aloud at my look of consternation --a melodious laugh for one of her years and every ono smiled but Mr.B who invoked the blessing with his usnal air, and led the table-talk on different topics. - That evening, in the parlor, young Mrs. B---- gave us some music and the old ladies re. the 'own mother' going last when she some and I coaxed a real nice, sensi- ble lady of Philadelphia, not hand, some, but just as good as god; to marry me.

They had neither any property, but she owned a house and took boarders in it to support them all, * Well, I made the same proposi- tion to the two old ladies that I had made to my mother-in-law, and they both agreed. Then I wont home and built an addition to my house, and goon brought my second wife and her mothers there. We had some occasional pouting at first, but Lalwvays held two points' without yielding--1I was' master of my own house, ahd would never let anybody worry my wife. So pretty soon, my four-in-hand learned to travel smoothly together, 'Ah me! I looked forward toa happy old age with that dear wife, but in two years she was killed by a railway acoident, I was with her on the train, and was badly burt lying for weeks in a state of un~ consciousness. When I recovered, my dear wife's grave was green, I felt so bad and my health was so poor that I did not care for « woman again until all my children were married, and I was left alone with my four old ladies.

So one day I said to her: | Now, mother, there is no reason why you shouldn't mufe your home with us always while you live; but you can bring your own furniture if | « and besides what my wife may do, I will give you fifty | dollars a year for your clothe: (that | Co. are Soliciurs of American and Foreign | was an ample sum for a woman to | have all to herself in those times) You can teach if you wish, or do anything else to earn money if you wish to ; you will always be welcome "to our table and parlor, or, if you prefer, you can cook for yourself in your room.

Now, mother, what do you say ? ¢ She only said, 'You are a good man Solomon B----, and the Al- mighty will reward yous and I thank you from my heart.

Woe all lived together twenty yoars, and then my wife had an attack of penumonia and died ; and soon after my own mother was left a widow and came to live with me'-- My mother is only sixteen years older than Tam, and being so lively | Sol and smart, she seemed quite like a younger sister to mother Henry, and thoy got on easily rogether, But 'lafter a while when the children By order, F.

I lived in one hotel after another, but always went home on Saturday nights, to go to church the next morning as usual, and take my old ladies out fora drive in the afternoon as usual, so that the neighbors should not be gossiping about us. t How good they were to me then! They lived together like a nesto! kittens | But my mother assured me that peace would not last long if I lived at home without a wife; so when I met a pretty little orphan girl who had not a relative in the world; I told her all about my affairs and the sweet creature, with tears of pity in her eyes, consented to marry me and be good to my old Iadies.
