"Do you really mean it, darling?*’
"Of course I do, Frank. Do you
think 1 would joke about such a sub
ject?” replied pretty Grace Ramsey to
her affianced husband, as she nestled
her sunny little head on his broad
shoulders one bright March evening,as
the dving sun glinted through tho cosy
drawing-room, casting a golden glory
upon tho pictures, carpet, and crimson
curtains, as if trying to outvie the
cheerful fire that blazed in tho highly-
polished grate.
"I could not refuse you anything, my
sweet Grace,” he said tenderly, as he
pressed her dewy lips; "but I would
much rather you had asked mo any
thing in tho world than this.”
"Why, Frank?” she returned, look
ing up into his handsome face with one
of her bewitching smiles, that always
finished any argument in her favor.
"Well, you see, to spend one’s hon
eymoon iu a new home, and at this
treacherous time of year, might not be
so comfortable, my pet, as a well-ap
pointed hotel in tho South of France or
Street, Italy,” he urged deprecatingly, feeling
tho ground slipping fast away from
him with her bright eyes looking shyly
his, her sweet face in close prox-
ity to his moustache.
But it is my great wish; and I will
obey you in everything after wo are
married, you know, like a dutiful little
wife.” she said playfully.
“What put this notion in your little
head?”
"Grandmamma; and you must agree
that she is clever. Now you sit down
here, and I will take my old place on
this stool,” as she cusconed herself at
his feet coaxiugly.
"So grandma has put this notion in
to your mind?”
"Yes; she said that when she was
married grandpa took her straight
from the church to their new home,and
they were as happy as birds.”
"But what time of year might that
happy event hayji taken place?” he
asked mischievously.
"July, I believe,” Grace said de
murely. “What matters tho time?
Surely it could make no difference.”
"That is just what does. March and
July, little sweetheart, are very differ
ent in our changeable climate; besides,
I fancy a little bird whispered to me
that their home was & tine old mansion
that had welcomed several brides,
whereas ours is a newly-built modern
villa, that should bo well-aired before
wo take possession.”
"So it is,” she persisted. "Jane and
grandma were there all laat week, and
tho fires are blazing beautifully from
morning till night Come, say ’yes’;”
and her soft white arms were round his
perfectly wet and peeliai|jft I most
see the fellow who papenjjnB tttok •

"Oh, that is nothing, BHU, it is of

she said timidly.

neck, and a pair of tempting lips placed
dangerously near to his; and Grace, as
usual, gained her point out she had to
pay her lover tho penalty of a score of
kisses.
"This is delightful,darling husband,”
whispered Grace, as they drove to their
new homo at Clapham, after tho wed
ding-breakfast. "I shall ,bo Such a
happy little wifey—commencing life in
onr own dear home; it^ntfit be better
than those big, coljjHodkirijf hotels,
with staring waiters and pert chamber
maids”
"So long as my sweet wife is happy,
I am content” ho said tenderly; “but
there is a nasty east wind to-day;” this
as he folded her furs around her with a
lover’s anxious care. "I hope every
thing is ready for us.”
"Oh, you need not be uneasy; I feel
sure Jane will attend to everything; she
is a perfect pa ra g° n -”
"Here we are at last! Welcome, dar
ling wife, to your home!” he said as he
led her up the flight of steps where old
Jane stood with two maid-servants to
receive their young mistress.

looks so anx
ious," thought Grace; "I hope every
thing is all right. Oh dear! what should
I do if there was anything gone wrongP
Frank would never cease teasing me.
Where are the stair-carpets, Janer’ she
whispered, when they were in the draw
ing-room. “I thought everything was
straight”
"So it was, but the dratted cistern
took to leaking this morning, and be
ing Easter-time no man can do got for
loto or money. I never saw such a
gingerbread house as this in all my
born days!” she said gloomily.
"Can't you manage to put them
down, so that Frank won’t notice it?"
the poor little bride faltered.
"Put them down to be spoilt! Why,
they are already wet through in some
places; but here comes the master,” as
she bustled out of the room.
"This certainly looks cosy and home
like.” said Frank Wharton at ho clasp
ed his bride in a loving embrace, and
seated her in ad easy-ebair by the fire:
"but what is the matter with that wall?
Whj, I believe it’s damp, the paper ie

sharply for Jane. "Wh;

“I am sure, sir.it
mine,” said poor Jane; say that
the paper in new booses fiftoa sweats—
at least, that’s what tfit man styled
it”
"Is there no other roonhALto receive
us?” he asked; "surely tlmmmlng-room
would be better?”
"Well, you see, sir, thMIoveis what
they call slow cobustion. w
"Slow what?” he said, Hmghlng in
spite of himself. -
"I don’t know exactly
nounce the name, but it’s n sorry thing
at the best, and won’t aoOfeohow, try as
you will”
"It’s a beautiful grats^ Frank,” in
terposed Grace; "it’s one of the mod
ern ones, and is called Slow combus
tion.”
"It’s dratted slow!” gambled Jane.
"I’ve spent three-quartern of an hour
over it and can’t get a flfifi to burn, so
it’s slow enough in all cascience.”
"Never mind. Jane: iHn beautifully
warm and comfortable—Indeed I am,
dear Frank.”
"Well, I suppose we AHMt make the
best of it now,” he said, trying to ap
pear cheerful.
"I know what I’ll do/* murmured
Grace; "mus c always suits Frank; I’ll
play and sing some of his favorites.”
In a few minutes the little cloud was
blown over, and the pair were
as turtle-dova, as Grate sang song
ter song to FrankVinteo* delight.
"Wh&t on earth are they doing in the
kitchen?” she thoughts "I must go
and see. I feel sura tfiey will break
tho grate to pieces in a minute. Oh
dear, oh dear! I wilh I had taken dear
Frank’s advice. What are you Oil do
ing, and where is the dinner?” said
Gracj. "It is nearing the time.’ 1
"Dinner, indeed! If you get supper
it will be a wonder to me,” gasped
Jane, as, armed with an ImmensMue-
brush, she and her assistants were
making frantic raids upon the kitchen
er, while tho smoke pound out in vol
umes, nearly choking poor Grace, who
stood the image of despair, gazing at
the fowls, fish, and joints, that lay
strewn about, getting peppered with
blacks.
"What’s to be done, Jane?” she
stammered, as she covered her golden
head to evade the showeg of soot, and
caught up her satin robes nervously;
"it Ts past six o’clock, and Frank was
just saying he felt rather hungry. Can
nothing be doue? Couldn’t you get
some hotel to send In adtnaor?”
"Where’s the hotel in this outland
ish hole?" snorted Jane, as she thrust
the broom savagely up into the offend
ing draughts; "I can only assure you
that no dinner can bo cooked to-<tty in
this gingerbread affair.”
Scpino^nd hope from the faces of any
of tfie scared servants, Grace returned
to her husband, and In her pretty coax
ing manner, broke the unhappy tidings
to him, and in less than ten mautes a
telegram was dispatched to tfe Gros-
venor Hotel, and a rooherche little din
ner ordered.
"So that littlo difficulty is over, my
darling,” he said, as they drove to
Pimlico; "but don’t you think it might
have been better if yeji haAMstened. to
my advice and spent our. < honey moon
at one of those big cold hotels?” this
with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
"As you are mighty, be merciful,"
she said, laughing merrily. "I had no
idea that tho stove wouldn’t cook, or
"That the drawing-room was damp,”
he added; "or
"Fie! is that being merciful, sir,” she
pouted.
But further domestic argument was
broken by a waiter opening the broug-
h&m-door, anuv rank assisting her out
into the comfortable hotel.
"Thank Heaven we are in a civil iced
place at l&st!” murmured the new Ben
edict fervently, as they seated them
selves at an elegantly arranged dinner-
table, laden with flowers, bright silver,
and sparkling glass; "this is comfort,
at any rate.
They both enjoyed their dinner and
pledged each other in rare wine, and
said, and did any amount^ of silly
things, doubtless as’ thoiaands of
brides and bridegrooms have done be
fore; and, if trutn must be confessed,
Grace was sadly loth to return to her
villa at Clapham; trat she was a true
daughter of Eve, and determined to
keep her own counsel from her lord
and master.
"Here’s a pretty go, Miss Grace—1
begyour pardon, I mean Mrs. Whar
ton,” said Jane OS the pretty bride em
tcred the breakfast-room next mornini
looking as fresh and sweet as a blush-
rose iu her azure-blue morning-robe,
with its clouds of lace around her fair
neck and arms.
"Why, Jane, what is the matter
now?” she said anxiously; "aurelv you
can manage to get ns some breakfast of
some kind?”
"That’s right enough solar,” groan
ed Jane; "but there’s no water for the
master's bath, it’s leaked out somehow
through some dratted pipe and soaked
your wedding-dress, and the cake that
your poor dear grandma sent home last
night while you were out at dinuer. I
went and unpacked it at once, thinking
the dress would be better laid loosely
like than crumpled up, aud there’s the
splendid cake and satin dress all of a
pulp; the flowers, too, all soppy and
spoilt.”
This was the proverbial last straw,
and proved too mooh for poor Grace,
who threw herself on the coach, and
covering her sweet face, burst into a fit
of tears, exclaiming:
“Never will I try to get my own way
again! What will dear Frank say? Oh,
oh! he will never forgive me—I know
he won’t.”
In another moment she felt a strong
pair of arms lift her from the couch,
and a tender voice whispering in her
ear:

"Is she dead yet?”
1 should grieve to hear that she woo,
I am referring to the good-natnred,
ever-ready, old-fashioned grandmother
of days gone by. She was my grand*
mother and yours, and, indeed, every
body else’s, when one was needed. I
remember her as gray-haired, wrinkle
faced, and hands crippled with the
hard work of pioneer days. I remem
ber her sympathetic voice and soft
touch—her steel-bowed spectacles—her
quaint old snuff-box—her bustling look
and anxious tones as she came in the
back way and called out:
"And so that boy’s had to give up
and go to bed, eh? Dear me! hut It’s
too bad, though I guess it’s nothing
serious, and I nope you won’t worry.
Let’s see him. Ah—um! Stomach out
of order and he’s got some fever. Had
my children taken this way dozens of
times and in two days they were out
playing.”
It was worth a month’s sickness to
sec her bustle around after horse
radish leaves to make drafts for tha
feet; cloths to wet in cold water for the
head—mustard for tho back of the
neck—a bit of rhubarb to”swcotoa the
stomach, and to hoar her say:
"Well, now, who’d thought it; but
don’t worryf Mercy on me! but my
Dan’l has been sioker’n that fifty differ
ent times and Isn’t dead yet. Just
you go right down and finish your
baking and leave me to take care of
him. I just dote on sick folks!”
And didn’t things turn ont just as
she predicted? And three days after
didn't she come down into the back lot
where I was eating sour crab-apples
aud fling up her hands and exclaim:
"For the land’s sake! but does this
boy mean to kill himself afore tho
summer is out!”

A farmer goes across a fine field. He
discovers a Canada thistle, and a panlo

endeavors to affect the minds of his

Now let us imagine that her friend, to
whom she writes, by some chance were
traversing that field and there heard of
