I hate him. o We have never had a moment's e peace since he tcok possession of a the house,' declared Polly Patten, n with a stamp of her foot. Thbe 'he' referred to was not, as w might be supposed, a tramp or a i sheriff's officer, not even a poor c relation. or an Irish butler, or a fr heathen Chinee. Not at all. The ti object of Polly's wrath was a b personage lifted up, as it would i seem, by virtue of his position, b above human cr-iticism as above human rules, a my th, an unknown ci entity-no other, in fact, thani the s little god cupid himselt. He and a is machinations had of late wrought changes-wofuil ones, t Polly thought-in the constitu tion of the Patten family ; and to a er imagination represented all f manner of Jliscomfort and dis- a cofiture, the alteration of plans, s the blight of' hopes-innovations e and cross-purposes without end Se felt toward him a good, hon-0o est, bearty hostility, as one may n toward an- opponent of flesh and blood, as she sat in her bed-room, inveiging upon the subject to her b special friend Susan Gilmore, who was perched beside her on the a broad window-sill. 'Oh, it's all very well to !augh,' she went on ; 'but just wait tillI you try it yourself. All last year was given up, you know, to mar rying Helen. Her trousseau, anda her presents, and her furnishing --ntiges was thought of or spoken of for twelve long months. t The house was choked with her d things. We all wor-ked our fin- a gers to the bone. Nobody could C turn ronnd without finding a wo man and a sewing machine at his back. We never even pretended J1 to hear ourselves speak. Well, just as it was all over, and Helen comtortably off our minds, Lizzie P must needs set up a lover and a ' long engagement. John Shaw, too, S of all persons ! Now I may be e dull, but in the ntame of common c sense why John Shaw, of all men6 in the world ?'' Lizzie knows, I presume.' a Well, perhaps she does ; still, it ~ is provoking. Eve:-y morning of e his life John Shaw looks in for C half an hour on his way down 'I town. He and Lizzie absorb the 1t parlor, of course. That is all right, no doubt ; but, as it hap- t pens, that particular baIt hour is C precisely the one wbich I used , always to take to tidy up the flow ers, water and trim, fill the vases, c and make the room nice for the e day. and want of it puts me out t dreadfully. I sit and twirl my t thumbs, and scold to mother, and r she never will agree with me.v 'Lovers 9.re privileged,' she says.' lb 'Of course they are. Don't bo t a spoil-sport, Polly.- It's their un now. Yours will come.' i 'ever ! But there's more be- E iind. What do you say to Eunice's ndulging in an engagement too ?' t 'Not really ?' *Iery realhy indeed. John Nor- I nan is the happy iran this time. ['w Johns, you observe, by way r f making the confusion greater. o they sit in the dining-room r very evening, w hile Lizzie and s er John occupy the parior.' 'And where do the rest of you it?' .1 'Echlo answers. We sit wherever's ce may. Mother takes her mend ig-basket upstairs, and has a c tudent-lamp on the IOUfldi table i ;i the upper entry. Papa sbuts t imself up in that dreadful little lose den' of his, or goes to the . fnice. I observe that be has busi- i ess there of evenings much of ener than formerly--because there o no comfortable place for him at j ome, no doubt. Jim makes a oiut of being out. As for Amy y nd m~e, we sit on the back stairs, j r in the butler's pantry, or any b ther odd corner which nobody se wants.' Polly laughed, but b here w ere tears in her brow n e yes, and a very mutinous look bout the pretty mouth, which a ohn Norman, while in process of C sampling the family,' to borrow ( olly's own phrase, had once b kened to beautiful Evelyn o Lope's, of true 'geranium red.' 'As if all this wasn't enough,' b be went on presently with a half n iggle, half sob, 'here is a letter n xme to-day from Fanny Allen- G ur cousin, you know-and she is e ngaged too ; and she proposes to t iake us a visit, and her young f ian means to 'drop along,' for- b >oth, while she is here. Now d -here are they to sit? I can't nagine, unless they take the air- h bamber of the furnace. The a -ont steps are quite too cold at x :is time of the year. Or might a ave the trunk room cleared out r them ; I hadn't thought of that efore.' Polly, you are ridiculous. Your ansin will manage that for ber lf-see if she doesn't. They bi -il take walks, or something.' d 'Oh, if they only would ! If h be whole lot of thorn would 'take alks,' and keep on walking, and ever wvalk this way, how corn rtable it would be ! Sue, you d re abominably tolerant about uich matters. That miserable upid ! I wish I could hold his d rings in the ca.ndle and burn them b if. He never flies in but to do b iscief somewhere. How peace 1 and happy we all were to eter before this sort of thing f, egan !'d 'Take care ; he will hear you, y nd he is a revengeful creature.- h believe him to be the original s ittle pitcher with long eats,' ughed Susan.o 'I don't care if he does hear me.,' n sserted Polly, defiantly.I s Has cupid ears ? Certain it is nl bat matters grew worse rather b ban better for P01lly from that ay forward. Fanny Allen came. b nd in due time her lover, ac- 0 ording to programme, and with be latter a cousin, Mr. Othniel t )liphant, a successful merchant, I ist home from China for a brief li isit. His return was not purely Ib >r business purposes. Mr. Oli- 'u hant was on the look-out for a rife; and with the prompt dcci-h ion of a mercantile man, he elect- n d Polly Patten fcr that position fi n a two days' acquaintance. A ii rm believer in the faith that a 'aint heart never won fair lady,' fi nd 'nothing venture, nothing I aye,' he offered himself at the v nd of the week, and quite undis- a ouraged by Polly's dismayed 1 io,' sat rresolutely down and s raced his parallels, resolved to It ain by siege what he had failed, n win at a coup by assault. This omplication set the seal to Pol. u t's discontentis.a 'For just imagine what a state b f things it makes,' she told her onfidante Sue. 'Thbere they sit- ~ le three sets of ninnies-one in 0 he parlor, one in the dining- i om, one in the 'den,' from P chieb poor papa is turned out 0 ag arid baggage ; and there ist hat abominable 0! 0!

How can he A nake me care for lim, he says, if' t ie never has the chance to se' me A lone ? It is the most e;uoar. S assing, abominable condition of fc ffairs. I seriously meditate run- n ing away to teach school-or a omething. Home is growing un- ti carable.' c 'Why do you dislike Mr. Oi- 1( Ihai,t Si) much ? He seems to me cry pleasant- k 'S:e ! When he teases the life s] ut. of me ! I declare she is blush ng. Are you turning traitor Si oo?' r 'Not in the least- don't know d hat you mean, that is. What P wanted to tell you was that 7e're going to have a young man f our own also. My brother P ack is coming home next week.' S 'How coherent! I declare, Sue, ou make me suspect something. S ack? He's the one who's been so >ng in Germany. Well, I hope ou'll enjoy him ; but pray keep c im to yourselves. I've had nough of young men, Johns es ecialLy. I never, want to see one it gain as long as I live-I think. b rracious ! there's that tiresome . O. strolling up and down in a opes of catching me as I come ut. I declare it is unendurable. rood-by, Sue. I'm going home a y the back door, if you don't iind.' And catching up her bon- s et, Polly vanished, while Susan ilmore, with a guilty look in her fc yes, and a pair of red, red cheeks, ed hers on, and issuing sedately p -o tbe front door, encounteredd [r. Oliphant, and presently, un er his escort, walked up the tret. 'After all,' she thought to b eiseif, -if Polly can't like him, r nd doesn't want him, why not ?' ai hy not, indeed ? It was un nswerable. tl Another fortnight passed. Cou- t v n Fanny and her finance went way, but 0. 0. still lingered. ~ 'oly gave an exclamation of des airing disgust when she learned is intention ; but, after all, he t id not prove the nuisance she C ad feared. He had other friends 1 town by this time, other en- g agements, and did not haunt the 'attens' hcuse every day, and all ay long, as at first. Polly heard ai f him often at the Gilmnores'.. he saw little *of Sue in those i ays ; Sue was occupied with er brother, just returned after is long absence. Mindful ofm 'olly's interdict, perhaps she was no haste to present him to her t w -iend-a fact which Polly was isposed to resent, when. a full eek after his arrival, she was at Lst brought face to face with him. he liked John Gilmore at once. S am Le was quite different from the ther Johns, and not at all for. tidable, Polly thought-tall and pare, quiet in speech and shy in N ianner, wearing spectacles, too,. ut altogether very 'nice.' Whatt myraid of diverse meanings may s e included in that word, beloveds f girls, 'nice !' bi In John Gilmore's case it meant f dat e did not talk nonsense to olly, and yet that he see,med to fr ie the nonsense she talked; at ast he brightened under it al ays, and it made him laugh. He ever bored her with sense and ci )ng explanations, brit she was 1 ever in his company without. uding herself nfterward think-, it ig about thbings w hich he had said, nd looking up little points of in-b >rmation suggrested by his talk. [e was so kind-hearted, too-al- am -ays so kind ! He didn't sneer i her diatribes against love and t vers; and he seemed to under-W band and be a little sorry for her,D ft out in the cold, solitary in the midst of' the sisterly circle oncef one in interest and so closely nited. Hiere was a genuine friend last, she reflected--a friend of~ lil er own ;and comforted thereby P >r her losses, she grew a little at tore tolerant of the happiness of b ther people; and even when, ab ttle later', a great wave of sur- 1' rises and sudden changes broke tC ver the home and all in it, still be toerance continued. P For, first, John Norman had a si artership offered him in South hi -tc~a., nd he and Eunice had > gct ready at two months' no ce to sail to their new home. .nd while Polly was toiling over .e hu:ried preparation which as all that time made possible, usan Gilmore, her olne special Ieud, called one morning, and ith a burst of emotion quite un onted in the staid Sue, confided ie fact that she was engaged -)gaged to 0. 0., who was the veliest, dearest man that ever as, though Polly had been so un ind as not to find it out-a fact ie (Sue) was very glad of now -and they were to be married in x weeks, and sail for China di ,ctly afterward. And vould her arest Polly forgive her, and roimise to love 0. 0. all she pos bly could, just for her sake ? Yon too ?' was all Poliv's, re ly. P>ut she put her arms round ue's neck with a tear and a sob, id all was smooth between them. ue, who had dreaded the inter ew, was amazed at Polly's for >arance. A change had evidently me over the spirit of her dream. rials, wejare told, have a chasten g effect on the character. Was her trials which were thus essed to Polly ? After that all was bewildcrIment id confusion dire till the two eddings were over. Eunice and )hn departed the day after theirs, 1 id a lull tell upon the weary )usehold. Mrs. Patten went up airs to lie down. Polly, who ghed for fresh air, departed r a walk with John Gilmore, ho missed his sister so much, or fellow ! and Amy, the ca atte of the family, prepared to debrate their newly recovered eedom by adorning and making autiful the dining-room, now scued from courting purposes, Id restored again to the com on use of the household. A busy afternoon indeed did lit e Amy make for herself, but it as a merry one, and she sang as ne worked. Every vase in the om she filled with violets and ld flowers, or apple blooms from e just blossomed orchard. The rtains wvere pulled to exactly e ideal angle, the chairs re ouped, all the horrid look taken I vay, Amy thought, as if the5 om were meant only for two, id for no one else. It was dusk hen she finished, and curling up the sofat corner, she awaited ith impatience Polly's return ally, who had bated the love akmng as much as she had andt ould be so pleased. Folly wast e one person in the house of ose sympathy Amy felt quite re. She was long in coming, bntt e came at last. Amy heard ber. ep on the porch, and with it other step, louder, firmer.

And you who declared you bated men named John! Well, after this, I never, never will believe in anybody again.' Amy, dear, I talked a great deal of nonsense. You must for get it. I didn't know.' But Polly urged in vain. Amy pushed her hand aside, and rushed away to console herself as best she might with a hard lit of crying, and Polly, convicted, repentant, but by no means unhappy, was left behind. So ended Polly's controversy with cupid. She was vanquished, .s Pollys are apt to be in such warfare; but there are defeats which count for more than vie tories, as we all know, and this may have been one. I regret to say that she never formally apo! Dgized for her inconsistency, and she took possession of the dining room every evening without the east apparent perception of the selfishness of the proceeding.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE. The loose garments worn by women and children expose them o special danger from fire. If he fire starts from the bottom of ,he dress, the natural upward ten lency of the flame soon envelops he whole person, unless by self on trol and presence of mind the iecessary care be taken by the sufferer, or some one near, with >ut a moment's hesitation. To0 >bey the first impulse and open he doors and rush out is sure de truction. The only safety is to all down instantly on the floor, ~nd roll over on to the fire snatch ng a woolen shawl or rug, if near. ~o wrap round the body. One is ~omparatively safe by rolling over wd over, for the flames will not ise to the face, and the lungs and reathing~ will be less.likely to be njurcd. Those who may be ini he room, or may come in. have heir work plainly before them. ieep doors and windows closed; natch the first woolen thing to > found-a table cover-without hinking of the work of art on it. ?ull it orT! Who car-es where t be >ric-a-brae rolls to ? It is ai hu nan life in danger. Or snatch a voolen shawl from a chair, a cur ain or a rug ; anything-that one iuman form is more valuable. rap the sufferer- instantly into omething that is woolen-the oat from your back, if nothing se offers-and thus closely wrap ed roll her on the floor in the bids. Scores of lives have been aved in this way, or lost for- want ~f such immediate action. In ase the house is on fire there here should be one 'captain,' if ossible, who can lead the less elf possessed out of tbe burning >U ildi ng.

Of the three great di visions into which the rose fam ily is separated. viz., the damask, the noisette and the tea, the last two may be propagated with more 01r less readinesb from the slip, or by budiiri-g the first on!v by di vidin g the roots, and plantint the seed, which latter method is re sorted to, ho-a ever. only when it is desired to obtain new varie ties. The best sea-,on f.r taking rose lips is in June, just after the pro fuse bloom of early summer is over, although a person who knows exactly how to cut a slip 'nay find good cuttings througb. out the warm rn"nths. Judgment and discernment are needed for the selection at all seasons. I know a generous lady who sent her friends immense armfuls of boughs. with hardly a real cutting .nnI) them. One should choose from a good v=,^'"ous branch of last year's growth a fresh shoot, containing two or three buds, such as will always be found more or less Swollen at the base of the leaf stems. It should be cut from the parent branch diagonally, with a smooth, clean cut that will bring off a little of the old bark as well, in order to make the condition as fitvorable as possible for the for mation of roots. have ready a box or pot of rich mold. With a round, pointed stick, make a hole several inches deep, and fill it up with clean sand ; insert the end of the slip in this sand to the depth of one or two inches ; be sure to make it - drm in the soil, and the sand act ing as a percolator foi moisture, you may keep your slip well watered. You can soon see, by the swelling of the buds and the dropping off of the old leaves, whether the slip is indeed taking root, but do riot attempt to re move it~ to the place where you would wish it permanently to re main, until it has put out several sets of new leaves. An ingenious way- to raise a set of slips has been recommended by Mrs. Loudon, which we have tried with unvarying success. It is to take an earthen ware flower p)ot, gallon-size, and fill it more than half full of broken potsbreds, pebbles, bits of slate or such things ; now set in the middle, on top of these refuse materials, ano ther similar flower pot, half-pint size, with the hole at its bottom stopped up tightly with a cork let its mouth be even with that of the large, outer one-fill up the interstices with silver sand or other pure sand, and set in a row of slips all aronud, cut according to the dir-ections given above. Keep the inner pot full of water all the time6, but do not water the slips dlirec-tly. In about six weeks your slips will have fine roots, and can be potted. A hand-glass al ways hastens the process of root ing, and enables von to take ad vantage of the sunshine, but if y-ou ar-e not provided with one, he careful to keep your plants in. the shade until they show certain signs of independence of life. R~oses need very r-ich soiljo bring them to perfection, thriving best in a mixture of well-rotted manure, sand and garden loam, ann to stint them of nourishment is indeed poor economy. (Scribner. No woman is capabie of being beau tiful who is not incapable of being false. If you are toiling in an unrequited way in life, think how Christ labored. Pleasure comes through toi! and not by self indulgence or indolence. Never anything can be amiss when siwpleness and duty tender it. Our actions are our own; their consequences belong to Heaven. Politeness has been well defined as benevolence in small things. Darkness, solitude and remorse are grim and hateful company.
