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.? Washington

No people in the world suffer as much
with Dyspepsia as Americans. Although
years of experience in ? medicine had failed
to accomplish a certain and sure remedy for
this disease and its effects, such as Sour

Headache, C'ostiveness, palpation of the
Heart, Liver Complaint, coming up of the
food, low spirits, general debility, etc., yet
since the introduction of Green's August
