"And how does your mother man;e, dear?" she asked smilingly?but ry happy?at the notion of the other-iu-law cropping out alnady.

You see when a woman is ways hiring her laundry work done id Ler gowns and bonnets made, and ?r scrubbing aud stove-blacking done id all that sort of thing?why, it just nlks in to a man's income and takes s breath away."

Upon ie termination of this visit, one tine oruing John received, to his blank nazement, a little package contain ? his euuuKement ling, accompanied ? the following letter: I Lave learned how your mother manages," and I am gojjpgto explain to you, since you confessed you du't know. I find that she is a wife, mother, a housekeeper, a business anager, a hired girl, a laundress, a am?iress, a mt-nder and" patcherra liry maid, a cook, a nuive, a kitchen irdener and a general slave for afamy of five. She works from in the orning until ten at night; and I alost wept when I kissed her handwas so hard and wrinkled, andcordl, and unkinged ! When I saw her jli&hing jhe stoves, carrying bigbucks of water and great armfuls of wood, leu splittiug the latter, I asked her hy John didn't do such things for ?r. '"John !" she repeated, "John I" aid she sat down with a perfectly dazI look, as if I had asked her why the igels didn't come down and scrub r her. "Why?John"?she said in trembling, bewildered way?"he orksinthe office from nine until >ur, you know, and when * he comes [>me, he is very tired, or elso-or else he goes* down town." Now, I have ?eome stronelv imbued with the con. | iction that I do not care to be so pood j "manager" as your mother. If the! ife must do all sorts of drudgery, so ' mstthe husband ; if-."he must cook,! 2 must carry the wood ; if she must I srub, he must carry the water; if shel itist make butter, he must, milk the | >ws. You have allowed your mother! do everything, and all that youl a ve to say of her is that she is an, excellent manager." I do not! ire for such a reputation, unless i iy husband earns the name also; and j idging froui your lack of considera-j ail for your mother, I am quite sure i latyou are not the man I thought >u were, or one whom I would care! marry.

' It was a sultry day in August, and a tired, over-beated woman bad toiled all day in the little pent-up kitchen. At last the baking was all done and the last dish, was washed and wiped, aud she pressed one hand on htr throbbing temples and s-ighed as she reached up to take the mop down from its hook to scrub the kitchen floor. Things had "gone wrong" all day, and she scolded and grumbled to herself while she pushed the heayy mop to and fro, back and forth, or wrung out tiie thick cloth with aching lingers. She felt that her lot was hard, to be baking and scrubbing and fainting all that day, while her neighbor iuet over the fence was lying at ease in her ham mock out under th~e trees and singing : "Oh, nobody knows the trouble I li#ve!" Presently a door wes opened softly, and her little daughter picked her way with prudent steps where the floor had not been wet and climbed to a safe perch on the table. The mother mopped away, hoping she need uot speak to her. "If I open ray mouth I shall say something cross," she thought, and kept her lips shut tightly. The little one watched her for a short time, bending her sunny head this way and that to study the dowucast countenance, and Anally she spoke. "Mamma," said she, "I have hardly ever seen you without a smile on your lace." "One time when you looked sorry was wbeu I was so sick, and the oilier time was now," resumed the serious nrrxlnrx oni 1 tllo /ihiM loono/l llAP UllJC VV1CC y uwu VUV vuim 1VUUVM ?v. cheek upon her hand nnd sighed. The mop handle dropped suddenly upon the floor, and two bare arms forgot their aches and pains and clasped the darling in a fond embrace. ''Sing to me, Alice. Siog : Nobody knows the comfort I have,' while I finish this patch of dirty floor. There's one good -thing about a little tucked-up kitchen, it doesn't take long to scrub it!" So it came to pass that out of that day of weary toil was learued a timely lessoii'of self-control and patience that never was forgotten. Two times of "looking sorry" were quite sufficient to live iu the memory of her children. ?American Messenger. The mother turned away for a moment's rapid thought. Was it indeed true that she had made "such an impression on that dear child's heart; mid should she spoil it now? Should she not rather net herself thenceforth to keeping a smiling face through all life's petty trials? How sweet to be remembered thus by all the children and her husband, too, for pleasant looks and ways! Making ttoom. BY MRS. ELLA BKECHER GLTTIXGS. Jack and Charley sat on the kitchen door-step, in the shade of the big willow-iree. eatuig their morning lunch of crisp soda-crackers. Jack's pet bantams, forgetting for the time their important little strut, scrambled so eagerly after the crumbs that every now and then the boys' bare toes got a vigorous peck from their greedy little bills. Little four-yea:-old Matty, hearing the boys laugh, wanted her share of the fun. She ran to the door, cracker in hand, and said eagerly: "Let me sit there too !" But Charley's blue flannel knees were so wide apart that one of them touched Jack's grey jeans, and the other lay against me uuur lowing. Against the opposite casing leaned Jack's head and shoulder. So it happened that Charley said hastily: "There isn't any room." And in the same breath Jack said crossly: "Oil! go 'way, Matty, and find some other place. It's too crowded with yon." t Matty put her little blue gingham sleeve up to her eyes, and left a trail of cracker crumbs across the kitchen floor, as she ran to lay her curly head on mamma's lap, and sob out that the boys hadn't any room for her to help feed the chickies. But in a minute Charley's voice rang out in the kindest of tones: '"Come on, jwauy; nere s room wr you." And Jack called also: "Yes, plenty of room, right between us." Matty brushed away her tears and ran back to the kitchen door. Sure enough, between the blue flannel and the grey jeans there was room enough for two such I ttle mites of girls as she wan. . "How did you happen to find room so quickly?" asked mamma, smiling. "We made it," said Charley, putting his arm lovingly about Matty's shoulder's, and throwing out a big crumb for Mr. and Mrs. Bantam to scramble after. "Remember, dearies," said grand- j ma from her corner, "there's plenty of j room iu this world for every kindly deed, if only we choose to make .it." j It is a mistake which we make, unconsciously ol'teutimeandyet amistake when we separate our lives into secular and religious parts.

Afewmorninga since, while waiting at the station of a large oouutry town, I witnessed a little iucident that I think will interest some young people. The ticket agent had gone to breakfast, leaving the office in charge of a bright-looking Doy or rourieen or nrteen. .The boy was reading wfyat* '! must have been a very interesting. book, judging from the reluctant man- ' ? ner in which he laid it aside to wait on the passengers. Shortly ai'ler my arrival an old lady, oddly dressed and evidently not accustomed to traveling, came in, and after depositing-her bundles and procuring her t'oket,- inquired civilly of the boys "What time i9 the up-train due?" " l'liere'x a time-table on the wall behind you," wa* the surly reply. "You can read, I reckon." * Without a word the old woman put - 1 -ri. 1 ~~ ' on her glasses, auu ancr a lung koiuu gained the information the boy might have given her in less time than it had taken to give the ungracious answer.. "7 :35?7 :33? It must be most that time now," she soliloquised. Young ? man, will you please tell me what time it is ?" she asked timidly, glanchig at v the boy again. 'Why don't you look at the clock?" Bneered the smart lad. "M~ business is to ?ell tickets, not to answer questions." And old gentleman, very plainly /troiaori who had beeu sitting in a cor ner with his hat pulled over'bis eyes, i looked up quickly when he heard the'i boy's impolite response; but he-said nothing, and after the lapse of a few minutes sauntered slowly across the room to the ticket-window. ;' y : ''What is your name, my boy ?" he ' said kindly, after nodding intelligently to the telegrapher. "I don't know that it Ls any of your business; but if you have a fortune to leave, you can just name Dick Morton's kid Jack, and it wfll be all O, "You^father ought to oe prouu <n such a promising boy," returned tha ? gentleman dryly. "Is Mr. Johnson in ?" he asked a little sharply. "You can find out by mukfng u?e of your eyes, 1 guts*," ''Uid the tboy, glancing around under tables' and beuches, apparenily very much famused. Just then another boy came io with some papers for the agent, and his smart friend paid, loud enough to be heard all over the v? rlting-room. "Here, Fred! don't go away till Johnuou comes. Attend to the tickets if any are wanted. I have been bored to death answering questions, and I want, , * * * - * Vi/vtia ty/lhu to finish this oook ueiuic wc uwo , . around. ' r The new-comer quietly hung up l is " hat and coat'and went 10 wait iijon dome ladies who were standiug at' the window. A few minutes later the old nentlamau asked, somewbatsbarply: ''What time is the train due, Bub?" V'7 :35," was the prompt answer. "And what time is it now ?" derfaanded the same iiupatieut voice that bad , spoken before. "it is just fifteen minutes past seven," replied the boy cheerfully. "Ape!" sneered smart Jaok. " Whjr don't you bluff him off?' "What is your name?" persisted the old ni9N, wtepping up a little closer. * > "Fred Myerf," responded the boy politely. "Is the boss in?' was the next inquiry in a much lower tone. "No, sir; he has gone to breakfast, but will be back in few minutes," was the uiet answer. "Seeing that your master is not in, can't you give me cut rates to Wheeling? I'll sec that you are not found out." "My Master is always in," was the boy's quick reply.
