There were "old . ?/T "'r^s" tlu-re, with , tho hard, insolent \ ,ook vvh,cU onlj becomes developed bj tb?

There wore the votaries of incoru- j petcnce, who sailed under the banners of "General Housework," and the elegant females who called themselves "children's nurses." Hut not one of the perspiring crowd ! would consent to go out into the coun- j try with Mrs. Allendale to do the 1 housework of her brother ltoubeu. "It's a light place," appealed Mrs. Allendale, looking helplessly around. "Only my brother and his invalid daughter. A lovely farm on the Lehigh ltiver, with ail sorts of fri^t and splendid seeuery, and the most healthy air in the world. And he'll pay sixteen dollars a month to any one who gives satisfaction." But still an ominous silence pre- j vailed in the ranks. "I'm sorry, ma'am, said the super lutendent, in an apologetic touo , "but vou see, all the help nowadays has such an objection to the couutry." And Mrs. \lleudale was just turning away in despair, when a pretty, pink cheeked young girl, neatly dressed in browu calico, came ml >f '.he crowd. "If you think I would do, ma'am ?' Tin- uesmuou Mrs. Allendale's despondent face brightened up, iiutl she began asking tpiestious at once. The pretty girl's naiue was "Lyddy j Ann." She was eighteen; she had lived out before; her reference was Mrs. (leneral Sutnpter, who resided at No. I'd I'assillora Court. Oli, yes, of course Mrs. Sutnpter would testify to her character! An! she would meet Mrs. Vlleudale at the three-forty train that afternoon to accompany her into the country. "I am so pleased!" thought MrAllcudale, as she tripped lightiy away from the intelligence oflice. "The girl has such a pretty, modest face, and she seems so willing to learn any thing thut sue may not already kr >w And now for Mrs. General Sumpter's. It's a mere form after all. Lyddy Ann s face is her best reference.' No. I'd Pass 1 flora Court was a showy stucco house, in a semi-fashionable street, finished in colors that made the eyes ache.
