THE MOTHER-IN-LAW'S VISIT. Mrs. Bartlett belonged to that unpopu? lar class iji the ^community known as mothers-in-law.. A :ino^er's^dfev6tion'-tof her children and'iuterest in"tTieir welfare"; has always, been'the theme of preist iff song and story ^but-lcfe-^one bhher chil? dren marr)% ancTshe^is" at"ImCe trans? formed into a most meddlesome, detested creature, whose noble virtues have sunk into vices of the most unendurable char? acter. As far as she can perceive, she is the same woman that she was before, with the same warm afTections, quick sympathies and untiring devotion >n'c\ self-sacrifice; but all the rest of the world sees her in quite a different light. I presse fijoraco?Bnrtlett -.-did. -not praise his"*mother and her ways ?f doing ' things oftener than any dutiful son of a good mother, but hi3 littlejrife,'Mattie, had come to look wiMTlriJto fear~amcL: trembling on the proposecT' visit of^ald"1 mother-in-law to her little snuggery of a iip/ne. Mother fvns getting on m years; the journey was a long one, and very ^ikclyvtbis} -woulfi be her last, as well a^ ner first visit tbTier son's house." Horace' was in a_flutter,pf_happiness.at the pros? pect of seeing 'her Oncer more, and very anxious to have everything on hand that could possibly add to her comfort. See? ing him in such a state of anticipation, Mattie carefully smothered her own ap? prehensions, and dropped tears in secret over Horace's hints and suggestions about the children, and how mother would like this or that in reference to them. That oor unconscious mother-in-law was fast ecoming the bugbear of her life. She wished the dreaded visit over, -^ahd/felt that she could never breathe free" a*g?ih until she was on her homeward way once more. - Do not censure her iuliospftftfity,': unless you are quite free to cast a stone at* her. vrHas.- ;not <ssme expectedi visit of some keen-eyed relative of "his" set your own heart fluttering with apprehen? sion? Have you not, metaphorically, wished her "in Guinea" a dozen , times before she came under your rpof? \ It seemed as if the \nearer~the"third came the more "'mixed up" everything became. Mattie - could" ihot make* head-, way with her work with those*three little childrea^always about-her feet ,The baby took*' the" time to cut a few more teeth, as is the manner of babies when mamma is in a hurry and worry, and Mattie grew so nervous that Horace was drcwh into the same net. So far he had experienced about, the usual vicissitudes of-young fathers and householders, who have small means out of which to provide for a family. But somehow the tangle affairs had takeu sometimes caused a sharp word or taop on both sides, to.be followed by bitter repentings in cooler moments. "More system" was Horace's unfailing remedy for housekeeping ills, and any woman will appreciate the aggravating nature of such advice under such circum? stances. After all, the reception passed off fa? vorably?a great point in entertaining a fuest; first impressions are so lasting, 'he good, motherly grandma took the little ones on her knee so fondly, and cuddled them in her. ample bosonrsolav-s ingly, that the mother's heart warmed toward her instantly. Horace was^grati? fied, and Mattie more than pleasea that things had turned out so differently from her fears. Is it not usually so with our anticipations? The evils that cause us most suffering are those which ,never happen. jj \ $ But mornig brought its usual perple^i* ties, and Mattie's heart sank at the pros? pect of going on .with her day's work, after Horace had gone to his business,, with those experienced eyes ever watch? ing her?sore to see her shortcomings, Mattie thougbi. and ready, perhaps, with cool advied ?obut "system," which would be sure to try her so keenly! Mother was late after her journey, and' Horace had little time for a chat, as his business'required punctuality. Mattie must attend to her baking, and that noisy Charley had,,of course, .to.upset itjchair just at the:he??' of the cradle, and'' then such.a cry as came from a sturdy pair qf little lungs! Maybe Mattie would have given the mischief-maker a good shake if grandma had not been by; she,certauily felt ready to, as she rubbed tbe-dough from her hands and prepared to take up the little one. "I guess he will come to me, daughter," said:tho old lady kindly. "We'll see: 1 am kind of lame, Mattie, or I would spry about and help you do up the work. But if I can keep the baby happy, maybe it will help U little.'* - ' \ ; It did helpfc&rje?t deaL '. Mother had the faculty of bewitching the baby in some way, so he was charmed with her, and Mattie felt so grateful that she wanted to stoop down and kiss that wrinkled face with ite crown of whitened hair beneath its snowy cap. And this was the dreaded mother in-law! She felt, rather than thought, that she could go to the mother quicker than to the son with her many perplexities in housekeeping. The worfciucvfed on very etaiopthly that day, with' grandmother to keep the chil? dren out of her way. It seemed like dap ing the work in a new atmosphere. The afternoon found Mattie settlea down com? fortably to her sewing, the baby soothed to sleep, a soft towel dipped in warm water wrapped about his chest, carefully covered with flannel. "How soundly and sweetly he is sleep? ing \n said his mother. "He has not slept like that for a week.*' i. "There is no soothing syrup equal to it," said grandma, "where there are any feverish symptoms; and there is not the slightest danger, where you cover the towel well with flannel. Now I can help yon sew, daughter, if you will be kind enough to give me my specs. I am a master hand at patching, and I see that Charley is much like other boys, and pokes his knees through his trowsers, just as his father did . before him. I thought that, the cjothrthat could hold out for six weeks-with that boyf was cloth to be re? commended." ?? "Could you always have as much sys? tem about I your work as you wished, mother, when your children were little?" asked Mattie, broaching the sore subject. Grandmother laughed a good, hearty laugh, maybe at remembrance of the old times?certainly it was not a laugh that hurt any body's feelings. Mattie knew she was not laughing at her, and her voice was's?'cheerirrg that sbecaught the spirit and laughed too, though that sub? ject had always been regarded as any thing but a laughing matter. "All young housekeepers nearly have the samctug and toil, and the same "fight for system about their work, and pretty much the same discouragements? that is, when they i make an effort to do their duty. They'set out with fine plans of order, and maybe carry them out for a while; but, dear me, one little baby..can knock all-their fine plans in the head, and.not be mucfr of a Hercules-either. I know how it goes, dear; I can speak from experience. " Babies are_ terrible autoc&t*,! a^Cther^fegeV'-theiwwe im? perious. A young mother, who loses hours of sleep' every, day, may welljhe excused for .leaving many-things undone which she could otherwise' do very easily, A,, baby's wants inust'be attended to first, even when well, and. when sick, the duty is doubly biuding. - Sou must learn to bear patiently ^ those' worries which neg* leetea work will cause- us] not neglected duties, for nothing is a duty which one cannot do. You oap^ij^oep your work up square and even" with 'little children to care' for, unless you have the raeans.io secure good help." 1 "I am'so glad you do not blame me," said'Mattie/^^ratefully, and' then she dropped the Rocking she was mending and .^pan'd, one..-arm around- the. good worjOT's^oki.-as. she kissed'her wrinkled cheejkr&'ore than once. "Blame you, darliagl. I should like to see any^^ne bla^-jBuch a busy; effi-^ cient littie Vorfcer asry?u are. ?3? Horace; ever does, his,;'motlier will-see fttfliim forthwith.- He^s taken a': .great cfieai ofc seeing in his day, and it did him good. Don't you think so'?" g. Mattie laughed; and .-said Horace al^ tvaysi'declared he "owed everything to. his mother." ?: ? . ?Sp & ' - "Of course I w^n't thorough' enough," said-ine old l?yf^smifing,#or I naaght have made him a still better boy; but it is easier looking back than looking ahead. But speaking of- systems, dear, I will tell you of one platT*that nas~becn "a great help to me. I never thought much of setting down on a slate or paper the par -ticuLir duti es-pf .each dayvw itkthe hours kef to them* Buch' things eaunot be car? ried out in a woman's evefy-cfay life, even if students and . professional men can. r'But it doesCheljf me to set down on a slip of paper the things I have to do in-doors ana^t-^as^.for instance, the, pieces of sew4ng -I yisli? t^^-^Everytriing I can -think of .in 'ihat-liner I'seI down. - Theny. when I have time to sew, I glance over it, and decide which piece.1 will go about first. A8 soon as it is done/1 cross it-O^ff." That is such a comfortable thing to do, .'th^t.crossiftgoff! . Sometimes I will finish several smiHl pieces in a day, and that makes the list look beautifully less. ? By< setting them down I do not forget any, and I can more easily choose which one I want first. I do the same about vari? ous kinds of housework, housecleaning. and aUthaj^sortrof jaiing, and it is a reap heJpt? tib &h% atP letclt. You might "not: find it so." "I am sure I should," said Mattie, with great interest. "I know I should enjoy the crossing off wonderfully. I forget so ?many things in'the Butty ?nd worry "of' lithe day, that I might have easily.doue if I had only thought of them." I. -"Jt.is pleasant work to look overmuch Tr list at the end of the week?''said ; mother. "You can see^for- yourself thatr you have done something. That is what tries us housekeepers so much?we see no results of our labors! The men^ftoint with pride to their waving grain fields, -their newly- built houses; ^ma^their -fyt- j Jshed machinery, as the ifesiilts of their j labors, but we feel that our work counts for nothing, because there is nothing to. show.' Never mind, if'we Can see it our-' selves. We can appreciate one another's work, and remember always that One above, more kind than a mother, notices every cup of water you place to your child's lips."?Country Gentleman. .As Untrustworthy Corpse.?About die-sharpest dodge attempted by impos? tors in the charity line was almost suc? cessful a few days since in this city. A female of good address, but poorly clad, cabled; an the rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, and stated that she had been a member of thatchurch and attended there when she could afford respectable cloth? ing, but that now she was reduced in circumstances, and what was worse than all, her sister was a corpse, in her house, and she had no means wherewith to bury ber. She gave her address, a house on New Jersey Avenue, southeast, and so moved was the pastor by her appeal, that through his efforts and others charitably disposed, quite a sum of money was raised by the day following. ..This sum,. together with the address of the supposed sufferer, was handed to some ladies, who, proceeding"iio the place indicated, were shown to a second story room, wherein was the body of a woman, on a bed, ap? parently dead, and motion k-ss as a corpse, .with the side scenes ,pf;,a child cryjug, yu!>d the woman ;wbo made tfie? appeal ?Ieaning:her head 6h the viflndow-sill over? come with grief The" scene was so .so.lemn aud impcssive .that the ladies soothing the grief of the ialter handed her the amount collected and left, each thinking how-Httle one-frilf the world knew of.the sufferings of the other half. One of the party; through having left her gloves in the apartment, returned, when what should she see to her astonishment but the corp-e sitting up in bed counting the money they had left! The scene that followed and the ruse need no ex? planation, and it is unnecessary to say that the donors immediately repossessed themselves., of the funds of which they were well nigh defrauded.?
