Why Aut MontIo wa an Od rfatid.
'Twas a quaint old fashiored log
house, and nestled on tho suiy side
of a North Carolina mountain. Morn
ing glories were trained over i he low
doorway, and marigolds, twiolh-me
nots and bachelor buttons bloomed
in rich' profusion n the well kept
yard. On a huge flat rock used as a
doorstep lay a large yellow mastiff,
the protector and companion of
"Aunt Mollie" who lived there. She
was an old maid, loved by all who
knew her. In case of sicknevs she
was a valued nurse, and was ever
ready 'to render any needed service.
She was somewhat eccentric as old
maids generally are, and above every
thing in the world she hated a cat
the most. Wo young peopl1 likod
and respected her, but were a little
shy of her too, for she never hesi
tated to correct our faults or tell us
of our failings. Oono she had spent
the night at my father's, and next
morning at Lroakfast I commenced
to tell a dream. "Oh, mamit, such a
dream as I did have last night. I
dreamed thait--"
"Never dream, girl, never d ream,"
untappod Ant Mollie. "Never dream;
that's how I come to be an old maid."
I looked at her in astonishmne it, and
the expression on her face co ivinced
moc she wasn't joking, hut for :lhe life
ofme I couldn't see how dr taming
could be the cause of Aunt Mollie's
single blessedness. I tried t' ques
tion her, but she didn't choos ,'to en
lighten rme, and a look from mama
silenced my tongue; but my- mind
was still busy w'th the probl am for
many a d.aiy. I began to fool a new
interest in Aunt Mollie. Would
carry her fruit, flowors, book,i, nowv
lace patterns, quilt scraps, &c., and
did everything in my p)ower to wini
her confidence. I found by loolking
in her B3ible that the 15th of Juno
was her liftieth birthday, so on that
day a nicely iced cake of my own
make, dlecorated with candy and with
Aunut Mol lie's name in con tor, to
gether with a pitcher of lemonade
found their way to her table. That
completely won her. After thanking
me kindly she said: "Ethel yn, you
and your friend Bottio come sit
awvhile tonighrt and I'll tell you the
dream that caused me to be an 'old
maid. But you must never mention
it to me again." Of course Bottie
and I went, and I will relate as near
as possible in her own (Aunt Mollio's)
words. She b)egan: "I was 20
years of age and engaged to be mar
rid to Eli Higginson. Two wooks
before my wvedding day Eli's sister
Jane spent the night wvith me. ]
showed her my wedding clothes, and
as we were very olose friends, wr
talked pretty freely to each other.
We sat up very late, arid Jane teaser
me a greait deal ablout the comin~
event; said she never int.end(ed t<
marry, but would live with Eli ani

boy, was terribly sick with colic. It
wits midnight and bitterly cold, but
I walked tho I!oor andl sang to tho
baby until I wats aln,ost ready to
drop. I tried to wake Eli, but, man
like, he snore,d right on. I begged
him to got up aid go for the doctor,
thlat, our darling was terribly siek.
I told him I had done all I coild; I
had bathed him in hot water an(
given him paregoric, but all to no
avail; and that nuless the poor little
follow got relief soon, he would snre
ly die; but Eli snored right on. He
didn't seom to care if baly (lid die,
and didn't offer to help mne tho least
bit. In despair I hugged the poor
little thing to my breast and told
him 'papa wits a 11101n lazy fing an'

kissed him,. when 'squaw-wow wow!'
