'I don't know, without t-'s a sound

'Now, sister you're huid on Lavinj.'
said Mr. Hinkle, in an injured tone
*>he ain't tough, like what you be.'
'Her temper is t 'Ugh en -ugh ; but

Miss l'hebe hunted for both sage uud

that all the poppies in the world
couldn't soothe Luviny when sbo once

Men-wAiim Mrs IIinkle hud been
doing a furious foreuuuu's work, and.
ready to drop from e*hnv*tion, was just
hanging up the mop jifer scrubbing the
kitchen floor, w.he;i dear, blundering old
Rouboti twCull'ed teitJM the threshold
with his toru paper bags, scattering
dried leaves like uu autui/u wind, aud
leaving muddy moccasin tracks at every

Mrs lliukle's l>-eb)o fo.rjb.e:irnuce fled.
"I'll.- lie h? her hu.ibiiid had trusted

'You're rather hard on 'em, L&rioj?'

a C/z your nerves had been in lately.'
'So you're been ruooing mt dowo to

at her husband. 'After all I'vo stood
from you, it's too much.'
Mr. IIink 1# was a mild man?mild as

sometimes turn sour in a thunder storm,
end oft recurring matrimonial tempests
bnd bad their effect upon him.
I've always make excises for you,

'taint in tbu power of mortal man to

Theu, in a state of gre't amazement
at himself, he Went out to unUckle

turned the 'bouse halfen hoar pa't

I hadn't oughter dono it ? peat's a fact.'
Having relieved his mind by this last
confession, Mr. Hiukle ate his diunor
wuh nu cxcelb-ut appetite, and in due
lime his sapper also, his wife not havi.ig
nppeared.
'1 oxpoot she calculates for me to go

'Laviny ain't sick, I bnpV ?'said Mr
11 inkle, anxiously.
'No, 'li-^n't that/ replied Mr. Tripp,

'Layioj says phe won't com? back."
in'erreipted Mr. Tripp, desperately ;
.'er she's lived yrith you as long as she

Mr. Ili;;kle flopped dowu like a
stsrchlccs dickey.
?I might have knowajd she couldn't
bear what I do,' groaned hu. 'This

Mr. '1 ripn muttered something about
his sister indaw being 'pretty resolute,'
and turned away.
'1 ni#h you'd carry over Laviny's

rousing himself. 'Lord ! to think of her
backing in the night, and me out hear
ing her! And, "Szra, I'd take if kindly
of you jl you'd atep iu in the moruiug
and tell me how she rested.'
Mr Tripp consigned tbe buttle to hia
coat packet, while Keubon, returning to
the dusertod kitchen, which already
wore s masculine *ir, tilted his chair
ugainst the wall, and listened to the
dirges of *he frags, or ?*vji expression

Hut net withstanding this alarming

?ITae Lavi'iy left you, Reuben ? It

Mr. Hinkle nodded his hoed solemn
ly, his mouth being not available just
then as an organ or speech,
'The worst is her own,' stormed Miss
Phebe, raining a shower of hairp ns
from her falling chignon. 'I guoia we
sha'nt die od her account 1'
The reflection seemed to convey uo
consolation to Mr. Hiukle.
lYuti never felt right toward Laviny,' j
said he, sorrowfully, 'I don't lay this up
again ber, her clearing out ; I blame it
on to Miss Niddlins. She always had
a dreadful faculty for onsettling Laviny.'
Miss Phebe had a contemptuous nose,
turned upward at tho end like a slod
runner. It curled higher yet at this
remark.
'I wish you had sumo of my spirit,
Reuben Hiukle,' said sho, coiliug her
back hair with a rapid oircular motion,
as if she wore winding herself up ; 'if
you had, you wouldn't go nigh Laviny

Mr. IIinkle groaned in answer As j

tsinly, in her husband's present i, Mrs.
Hioile had been a patient Griselda
compared to what sho now was, freed
from home restraints. She fretttd and

an unwonted fermentation in the Tripp

fast subsiding, when the rumor thai
Miss Phebe was wielding her domestic
sceptre, agitated it anew. Pretty work
it waa, to be cruwdad out o* ber own

Heubea had not come. They had been
setting Rim agaiuat her. What if he
should uever couie 7 For the Grat timo
this thought intruded itself, aud iu her
anguish she Bought relief in the cam
phor bottlo. What right had Phebe iu
her kitchen, solacing Reuben with de
lectable cookery, when he should have
been huugeriug in solitude after his
wife ? tSlie declared such conduet
would provoke a saint, though she did
not give her authority for this convic- j
lion. One thing was sure. Rhube
should not liav* tie washing of her tea
spcot* ; aud without delay Mrs. Hiukle
aent a juvenile Tripp to remove these
sod other personal valuables, choosing
lite dinner hour 'or the erand, that the
fccnio effect might be greater. When
Mr Hinklt was forced to atir his tea
with a fork, perhaps he would be in
more hast to conciliate bis wife 1 The
plan was well laid ; but it failed in the
execution through the tardiness of little
Joe, who, having a woodchuck to at
tend to oa the way, did not reach bis
uncle's till the remains of tho dinner lay
cold on the pantry shelf, and Mr. Hink
le was half a 0?ile away at hia alteraoon
plowing.
Miss I'll-ho sent the spoons ?bedient
iy, iuwitcdly resolved that Reuben
should not know nf thia proof of 'La
viny's Ugliness, for she was well .ware
that only her own ropoatod assurance
that Laviny would soft on toward him if
left to herself had kopt line passive thus
far.

Mr. 11 inkle did know, unfortunately,
and, kuuffiuao sokooled himself to pa

Thus the days were .en, and he plod

alarmed bj his non appearance, worried
herself into a course of e~ speratiag

out tbe sualight from the house of tbe
Trippa. In the midst of paint-scrub
bing Mrs. Tripp found no leisuro to de
vote to her complaining sister, but left
one of her children to wait upon her.
Mrs. Iliukle felt abused. When had
Reuben been too basy to bathe her
aching temples? Little Joe made her
oervus as a witch, and one daj she
told bim so, and a moment after had
the satisfaction of hearing him saj to
his mother in the kitchen that he 'could
net get altng with Aunt Laviny nohow.'
Why, that was just what Reuben had
said?Reuben, who had never spoken
hastily to her in his life ! Was she an
uncomfortable person to Uro with 7
'Taint iu the power of mortal man to
get along with you, Layiny.' The
worin came back to her with the stal
ling force of a proof text, aud haunted
her afterward continual'v.
It tuust hare been in rhubard time,
for dandelion greens bad gone by, when
one morning little Joe rushed in with
the terrible tidings that 'Uncle Reuben

Mrs. ilinlls fore the bandages from
her head and started up.
'Where's my bmnet, ousau i I'm

'Maybe he isu't bodlj injured. Wait <

Yet, though nu bones were broken"by

Flow Kite in a Sihinq Room.?A
correspondent writes: "I saw a sin^ie
petunia in a lady's sitting room that was
perfectly lovely. It was placed in a
hanging baakel and suspended in front
of the window. Some of the long stems
fell yrcr the sides of the basket, some
were looped half way, and some wore
tied up straight All were covered
with blotsoins It was a purple and j
white variegated variety. On one Bide
of tbe rooin was a Madeira vine, cover
ing* nearly all*the wall and lestnooed
over tho door; ou another side :n Kng
liah ivy ; in the corner a Wandering
Jew ; and these, with a few pretty but
cheap plants, made a room fit fur a
queen in its ruotio beauty, and the
whole not costing over fifty oents. Very (
orettv hanging pots can be made of the
tops of goblets or the half of a eocoanut
?Holl, by crochctiug a net of foms bright
worsted to hang ihom in.'"
