We frown on ahort sleeves; but when those short ekiris were seen waving in our sireeis, when lhey even floated up the broad aisle on the Sabbath, it would be hard lo ' say whether indignation or horror were iho pre¬ dominant feeling. Bui, to begin at the beginning, as is in al] casea most proper and satisfactory. Jane Atwood announced ai our Sewing Socioiy, and Mrs. At wood me;:ironed. in thecourse ofa round of calls lhat tney wtre expecting Misa Janet McLeod. a niece of ihc j.tic Mr. Aiwood, (opass the winter wi'h Ihem. We all knew Mr. McLeod by rep. uiaiion. llif Mrs. Atwood wna very proud of be*" reiuiionship to him, and r'jferencea lo her broih- er-in law were frequently nnd compJaceniJy made. V*'m had seen him, too, when now and then he had passed a day with the Atwooda—he never found time lo stay in Wesibridge more j feasor hurried offto inquire after hia charge. taace. He claimed a right, as an old triend of, George Mainwaring'a father, to intereathimBeU in lbe young eiudent's welfare : and. withaome hesitation, auch as every dependent mind natu¬ rally feels, Mr. Mainwaring accepted the offer¬ ed aid. The pecaniary obligation had long since been repaid, bat tho feeling of gratitude to the one who had enabled him to pursue the career best fitted to the bent of hia mmd remained in fuU lorce; and, from the influence of this feeling, he had been induced lo make an offer to Mr. Mc¬ Leod, which was the immediate occasion of Miss McLeod's visit lo Wesibridge- Mr. McLeod faad been for aome yeare devoting himself epasmodically to the study of Revcla- tinns. He fancied that he had discovered the clue to the meaning ofmany ofihe most myste¬ rious pans ol this book j but, untoriunately, tbore were many discrepancies between his ideas and those apparently conveyed by ihe words ofthia part of Holy Writ. These he at¬ tributed to a faulty translaiion, and had himself begun one ihat was to be free from such blem- iahea ; but, finding that his knowledge of the language was insufficient, or ihat his paiienre was soon exhausted, he deiermined that hia daughter Janet should qualify herself to perform this office for bim. She would havo undertaken to learn Chinese, if her fuiher had espresaed a wish to ihat effeci, and therefore made no opposition to studying Greek, nor to passing the Winter in Weat- bridge wiih her aunt, that she might avail her¬ self of the proposal Mr. Mainwaring had made to her faiher, that he ahould be her instructor. MisB McLeod had never been in Wesibridge, and Mr. Mainwaring had never happened to meet her. He knew that she was a young lady ofeighteen,and that, since her mother's death, some three years before, she had devoted her¬ self eniirely to makmg her father's home as comfortable and happy as possible. Her filial affection had pre-possessed bim very much in her favor, and he looked forward to aiding her in her studies wiih an unusual degree of pleas¬ ure. Jane Atwood, too, was delighted at the prospect of renewing an acquaintance thathad languished since her childnood. Mr. McLeod was prevented, by some of his numerous cnga^emeniB, from accompanying his daughter to Wesibridge, as he had intended ; and, placing her under the care ofan acquain¬ tance who was on his way to the city of Kew York, he telegraphed to Profesaor Mainwaring a request ihat he would meet Miss McLeod ai the Weaibridge depot. The cars arrived about twilight, and, punctu¬ ally at the appointed lime, Mr. Mai'nwaringatid Miss Atwood stood on the platlorm waiting fir lhe slopping of the irain. The yoiing lady look¬ ed in vain among the group that sprang hurried ly out ofthe cars to find one thatahe could re¬ cognize as her cousin. Mr. Mainwaring scruti nized the crowd wiih a like purpose, but as fruitlessly. Their aiiention was arrested at the aarae moment by the same object—lhe singular attire ofa person leaning on the arm of an old gentleman, who was looking around him evi¬ dently greatly perplexed. Mr. Mainwaringgave but one glance, and then looked away, appa¬ rently considering the individual hardly a prop¬ er subject of curiosity ; but Jane Atwood, less scrupulous, stood gazing so absorbed in what she saw that she entirely forgot her cousin. The person who thus aitracled her notice was a sraall and youthful wuman, dressed in a sort of sack or paleiot of black cloth, belling around her waiat and tailing a little below the knee, and loose trowsersof the sabe material gathered into a band around the ankle, leaving exposed a small foot encased in ihiak-soled, but neaily- fitting gaiter boots. A linen collar-tied around lhe throat with abroad black ribbon, and a straw bonnet and veil, completed the ature. "That must bca Bloomer, Mr. Mainwaring," aaid Jano Atwood ; *' do just look at her. 1 am very glod she happened to come in this irain. I have always wanted to aee one.'' " Indeed !'* said Mr. Mainwaring, in a tone that expressed more surprise than approval.— " Do you see your cousin anywhere, Mias At- Wood V ssid he, aftera moment's'pause. She replied in the negative. " Allow me to leave you a momeni, and I will make «ome inquiries."

She felt ihat the gentle than a day—and were ostuniahed to find that the rich Mr. McLeod, who has been for some lime a son of a myth among ub, a Wesibridge Mr- Harris, wae a plain, homespun looking man, wilh a comely sun browned face, white hair, and the kindest andmost trusting brown eyea in the world. His manners wero hearty and genial, but iheirsimpliciiy prevented him from making a great impression on us ; we like moro courtli. neas and a little moro formality. His benevo lence and upngii-ncsa logethcr wuh hia immense weahh, procured for him among us ihai degree of eonsideraiion which such things alwaya do procure among ibe numerous claas who lake the world as they find it, and wedismisaed him wiib the remark that, thuugh plain and unpolished in his manners, ho poejcascd sterling goodness and sound sense. This lasi quality might noi have been allowed him, if Mra. At wood had not been tareful in concealing, as far as possible, the peculiar reve- latiuna he made in each viait ofhis reigning en- ihueiaem. " That Mr. McLeod is a very sirange man," aaid Mrs. Atwood's nurs-? to a former employer of hers. "Do you know, ma'am, he spent all yesterday pulverizing Miss Jane! Miaa Jane wem sound asleep, andl thought in my heart she would uever wake up more." It was found oui allerwards lhat Jane Atwood had been uilderji^oing some expeiimente in mes¬ merism, wuich, allhough Mr. McLeod declared them iriumphanily successlul, Mrs. Atwood was rather indined lo conceal than converse about. This was on Mr. JVlcLeod's first visit. On his second, he found Mrs. Aiwood suffering from an auack of rbeumaiiem. He pulled out ofa capacious pociiet-book two galvanic rings, which he insisted on her wearing; and, for fear that lhey mf^h: not c/leci eo apeedy a cure aa he wished, he liabtcned to the city and returned with a galvanic baitery, by meana of whJch be gave his sisier-inlaw such severe shocks that she assured us olten " that her nervous syaiem w&a enlirely bhaiiertd by tbem." But as I have known many ladiea live and get a fair proportion of eijiiymuui ouiot ihis life withtheir nervoua syflieuib m the bamo dilapidated stale, I have corne 10 coi.sidtr il a very harmless complaint. Al anuuicr linie, Mr. McLeod had wonderful Btoritti to lull of spiriiual manileaiaiions, and on his lasl visit hu had been overflowing wilh in¬ dignation againsi liucicty on the score of wo¬ man's rights and wrungg. Yci, noiwiihataiiding ihceo peculiarities, Mrs. Atwood loved and csieeined Mr. McLeod wilh asinceriiy iJioi redetratd her otherwise worldly and timid characier. Her husband had been left dependent on his hajf broiher, and owed to him hia cducaliun and his establishmeni in the world ; and when a foriune was left by somo re¬ lation of lUeir mother lo be equally divided be- I'ween ihero, Mr. McLeod refused to take any poriion of it, saying ihat he had more than enuugh. Thego, with many other inatances ot his generosity and affection which Mrs. Atwood had received since her widowhood, mado her forget hid cccenlricities, and listen with forbear¬ ance 10 hid impetuous oatburBts of zeal or in* drguatiun, Thtre was another peraon in Wesibridge who ehated ^MrtJ.

"Excuseme, ma'am,'' said the gentleman, addressing Miss Aiwood ; "but I am afraid to j wait here any longer, for fear the cars will leave me, and I promised Mr. McLeod I would see"' hie daaghter safely to her friends. Do you know wheiher Professor Mainwaring is here to meet her V " Yes, he is,*' said Miss Atwood, with a sud den misgiving. " la—is -is ihis—person—lady —Misa McLeod ?'' Misa Atwood could hardly finish the question. Tbe Bloomer threw back her veil, and said, somewhat timidly— " la ihia Miss Aiwood—Cousin Jane V Misa Aiwood bowed, and the old genlleman, saying, "I am glad you have found your friends," hurried off. Thero were a few momenta of embarrassed silence, when Professor Mainwaring re-appear¬ ed. "Miss McLeod cannot be in this train,'' said he. *' Shall we wait here for the next I It will be down in an hour.*' " Thia is Miss McLeod, Professor Mainwar¬ ing," said Misa Atwood, hardly consciona ofihe i ungracious rnanner in which she effected the i iniroduction. Mr. Mainwaring bowed with his usual cere- moniouB politeness ; bul he said not a word, and his lipa closed with a firmer compression than usual. He was too indignant and astonished to speak. He wondered if his old benefactor had quite lost his senses that he ahould permi' his young daughter to go about dressed in that outrageous costume. And he did not see with whai propriety hc, the guide and controller o* more ihan a hundred young men, who required all the power of his example and authority to keep ihem in proper order, could be asked to teach, or in any way have hia name connected with that of a Bloomer. He was more than half inclined to walk away; but, restraining himself, he observed that the carriage waa wait ing, end had instinctively balf turned to Miss McLeod to offer her his arm, but, catching an other glimpse ofiho costume, in itself a son ofa declaration of independence, and remembering having seen a number of students lingering around the depot, he bowed hsBlily and led the way to tbo carriage. Miss McLeod's manner had all the lime been very composed and quiet. She could not help observingihat her greeting was not a very warm one ; but this was her first absence from home and her thoughis wero so full ol ihoso she had left behind that she waa not fully conacious of all that was paasing around her. Sho scaled herself in the carriage, and after answering the few formal (Reations addrefleed to her by her companions, she sank witb them into a ailence that remained unbroken uotil they reached Mrs. i Atwood's door. Pec I ining Miss Atwood's invitation towaik in, Professor Mainwaring bade them good-even¬ ing, murmuring something hastily about seeing MiB8 McLeod again soon, and walked off, glad to be released even for a moment from" his dis- laatelul duty of attendance. Miss Aiwood ushered her companion into the drawing room, snd then went to seek her moth¬ er. She found her in the kitchen giving direc¬ tions to a new cook about the preparations for tea. She beckoned her into the dining-room. " She's come, mother," said Jane, with wide open eyes. " Yes, dear, I kaow it. Go and stay with her; I will com_e in a minute." *' She'e a Bloomer!" continued Jane, unheed¬ ing the maternal bidding. " Yon don't Bay ao, Jane 1 What! liiils Ja netaBloomer ! Oh, Jane !'' And Mrs. Atwood Bank down on the neareat seat. This was worae than the galvanic battery. Her nervous eyatem gave way entirely, and she burst into a flood ot tears. " I cannot go into see her," said Mrs Aiwood. "I don't think I canhave her here in my house with my children.'' ** Oh yes, mother, we' muat," said Jane ; j "remember how"kind uncle McLeod has al¬ ways beenioua. Don't be so disiressed about it. Perhapa wc can iadiice her to change her style 01 dresa." ^ While Jano was endeavorioe; to aooihe her mother, Janet McLeod had been trying to over¬ come the shyness of two littlo children whom she had fouad in tho drawing.room. Sbe wae telhng them about a pooy and a dog ahtf bad at bome, when ifae hoy raised hia head and asked, witb lbs •Urftigbtforwardneia of a ohild— name. I am giad you ore a boy, great deal the best." Here Charley woa interrupted by his mother's entrance. Mrs. Atwood had composed herself' andbad come to the conclusion thot she might as well make the best of it- She greeted Janet in a manner rather constrained snd embarrassed, andyet not cold eoough tobe wounding; and this she ihought was doing wonders. The next day was Sunday, and Mra. Atwood saw, with dismay, Janet preparing to go to church in the same attire. "Have you no long dresses that you could wear to-day, my dear ?" she asked. " We are so unaccustomed bere to see anything of tbat kind, that I am afraid it will attract more aiten¬ iion than you would liko." ( '* No," replied Janet, with a composure lhat waa not a liitle irritating lo Mrs. Atwood, '" I did nnt bring any with mc. I promised father lhat I would wear ibis dress ai leaet a year.'* Jane Aiwood had a convenient headache which prevented her from accompanying the rest of the family to church, and .Mra. Atwood ' had to bea^ the whole brunt of thc popular I amazement and curiosity, ae, followed by a Bloomer, she made her entrance among the ae* ' sembled congregation. The walk up the aisle was accomplished with a fluried haste, very un¬ like the usual grave decorum on which Mrs. Atwood piqued herself, and, .slipping into her pew, she sat for some minutes withnul ventu¬ ring to raise her eyes. Miss McLeod did not ahare her aunt's pertur¬ bation. She appeared, in fact, hardly conscious of being an objeci of general remark, but ad¬ dressed herself to the duties of the sanctuary witha countenance as calm nnd iranquil as a summer's day. A very sweet and rural faco she had, as unlike her startling style of dress ns anything could well bo. Having always lived in the couniry, surrounded by an unsophistica¬ ted kind of people who had known her from her infancy, aud loved her lor her father'a aake as well as her own, and who, reverencing Mr. Mc¬ Leod (or his noble and kindly traits of charac¬ ter looked upon his many crotchets as the out¬ bursts of a generous, if an undisciplined nature, Janet had never learned to fear the ci iticiam or the ridicule of the unsympaiheiic world. Like most persons brought up in the theliered seclusion of thc country, far away from the bus¬ tle and turmoil of the city where every faculiy is kept in activity by the consiaot demand upon its aitention, her mind was slow inils opera¬ tions, and her perceplione were not very quick. At ease in heraelf, because convinced by her father's advice and persuasions that she waa in lhe path of duty, she hardly observed thc aston¬ ishment and remark of which sbe was the ob¬ ject. What Bulwer Lytion calls "the broad glare of the American eye" fell upon her as in- effeciuaily aa sunshine on a rock. With a disposition naturally dependent, and inclined to behevo rather than to doubt and ex¬ amine for herself, she had grown up wiih such a deep reverence for her father, and with guch an entire belief m him, that the idea of questioning lhe proprieiy or soundness of his opinions never entered her mind. It was hard labor for one so practical and unimaginaiivc as Janet lo fjllow up the vagaries of a man like Mr. McLeod, and it was one of lho strongest proofs of her great affection for him, thatshe had laid aside her own correctjudgment and good aense to do so That same evening Mrs. Aiwood had a long conversation with Miss McLeod about her dress. It was a disHgreeable task lo one of Mrs. Atwood's timid disposition to find fault withany person ; but she thought it a duty she owed to her motherless niece, at toast, to expostulate with her about so £reaiQ singulariry. " Willyou tell me, my dear," eho said, " how you came to adopt tbat costume ?" i " It waa my father's wish,'' Janet replied.— " He waa convinced ihnt it waa a much more eensiblc and useful mode of dresa than the usu¬ al fashion of long trailing Bkirts, and he was very anxious ihat il fchouid be generally adopt, ed ; but he aaid it never would be unlesa it were worn habitually by ladies occupying a certain Slalion in society. He thought that, as we had so many advantages, we ought to be willing to make some sacrifices for lhe general good. I did not much like ihe idea ai firet, but I found ' that faiher was righi when he said ihat I should soon becomo accusiomed lo the einguleriiy ol ' the thing; and indeed it is hardly considered singular in Danvers now. Several of the ladies there have adopted the same siylc of dress.— We find it a great deal moro convenient.'' Mrs. Aiwood could not assent; she could not see a singlo redeeming quality in the odious costume. " Wouid you object, Janet, lo laying it aside while ynu remain in Wesibridge? 1 am ^urc that you will effeci no good by wearing it, and I am alraid you will be rendered .painfully con¬ spicuous by it. Young Indies t-bf.'uld never do anything to make themselves an object of re¬ mark." This aphorism, which was tbe guiding princi¬ ple of every, lady trained in Wesibridge, was a new idea to Janet. She pondered upon it for a while, and then replied— " It secma to me, at least so my father always ' lells me, lhat the only thing necessary to be considered is, whether we aro doing right or not; and ifthis drcas is to do as much good as father thinka it will, it must be myduty lo wear il. I promised father I would wear it for a year atleast." "Ifyour father, will consent, will you not be willing 10 dress like thc rest of us while you re¬ main here ? It would be a great favor to me if yeu would." " Certainly, dear aunt, I will. Bui itseems strange to me that you should be so annoyed by what lather is so mnch delighted with.'' Mrs. Atwood wrote what she considered quite a strong appeal to McLeod, enircaiing him lo allow his daughter to resume her former attire. But in reply, IVlr. McLeod wrole that Janet was now occupying the position in which he had always wished a child of his to be placed. She wasin the front ronk of reformers; giving an eiamplc lo the people in Westbrldue, whom he hadalways conaidered shamefully behind the ago, which he hoped would awaken in them some desire for progress and improvement. He was proud of Iier and of her poaiiion. He would not for tho world have her falter now, when, for tha firat time, she had had any con¬ flict 10 endure. Janet read the Idler, and, with a blush for hCf weakneas in yielding to her aunt's suggestions, sho resolved to allow no pusillanimous fear of cenauro to degrade her faiher'a daughter from the high slalion in which he had placed her.— Mrs. Atwood was indignant at Mr. McLeod's anawer. *' I never read anyining with so litlie common aense or common feeling in it. I am aure he would notbe willing to subject himsolf lo aSj the annoyances to which he is exposing his poor young daughler, persuading her thatshe iain the path of duty, and that she ought to mako a sacrifice of hersalf, I have no patience with him," and Mrs. Atwood, in her vexation, came very near giving Charley a Buperffuous whipping. Meantime, the people in Weaibridge were de bating aa to the expediency of calling on the new arrival- They were in great perplexity aboul it. Aa Mrs. Atwood's niece, Miss Mc¬ Leod ought certainly to be visiied ; but aa a Bloomer she ought to be frowned upon and dis- countenanced, Tbe generai opinion was de¬ cidedly ogdinsi bhowing her any aiiention. One lady did call, but repented it afierwards, and atoned for her imprudent sociabiHiy by declin¬ ing to recognize Mias McLeod when »he met | her in the street. There were very few inviia- ! lions sent to Mrs. Atwood's during the wimer, and those that came were very pointedly addres- ' sed to Mra. aud Miss-Aiwood. These theyat first declined, with much inward reluctance on Jane's part; but Janet perceiving this, and di- viningthat politeness to her waa the cause of the refusals, insisted on being no restraint on her cousin's pleasure. She waa willing to en¬ dure mortificaiions hereefffor wbat she conaid¬ ered her duty, but it would be a needless addi¬ tion to her trials, she said, if those who did no approve ot her course had to suffer for it. - It aeema ft piiy that there shouldbe auch aau pejflaity of ths martyr spirit in wonunkind, or 1 tbnt thtr* w<i« not soaeibins «f monjeitfti im¬ all women wfao had in aoy way mBde'theinselyes conspicuous. But there aeema to be naturally a perversity in alt raaiiera of this kind. Love evi¬ denily delights in bending the inclinations in that very direction againstwhicfa (he professionB have been the loudest and rnost decided. cordiality with which she waa at firat inclined to receive him, as one whom herfather loved and esteemed, met with no response, but she attributed it to his natural reaerye. The first thing that lessened the. cold diaapproval with which Mr. Mainwaring regarded Janet was the discovery that atudy was to ber a painful labor, and that she was not very fond of reading. There is a popular fallacy lhat a high cultivation ofthe intellect implies a corresponding deficiency in lhe offections, and profoundly senaible aa Mr. Mainwaring was, fae w.is, like most men, a firm believpr la this erroneous opinion; and there¬ fore be welcomed all Janet's mistakes as pledges that, though her judgement might bo wrong, her heart waa right. And there was a yielding docility about he' that was exceedlnly pleasing to one accustomed, aa Mr. Mainwaring waa, to have his opinion re¬ garded as law by mosi of those wiih whom he was thrown. It was not a mere inen softness either, but the pliability ofa substance so finely lempercd and wrought lhat it could be moulded by a master hand into any form without losing its native and inherent firmness and goodness. He began at taat to underatand faer. andto per¬ ceive that she had one of those delicate and con¬ scientious natures that, wfaen once convinced of of a duty, selxe uponit with a graspof iron, and would suffer to the death for ii. Wiih hiaadnii- raiion for Janet, his intereat in ber increased, and he became truly distressed to see her throw¬ ing away, as it seemed, her usefulness and faer happiness in endeavoring to uphold a fantasiic fashion. The life oi seclusion and study to which the resolute neglect of the people of Wpstbridge had condemned Janet was bo unlike anything to which she had been accustomed, that, strong in constitution as she was, with ailthe vigor thai a free country life gives, her healih began at last to fail. The spring breezes sought in vain for the roses that the autumn winds had left upon her cheeks. "It seems to mo ihat you are looking rather pale. Miss McLeod," said Mr. Mainwaring, one day. It was the first time that he had ever spoken to heron any subject uoconnected with tha les¬ sons, and Mias McLeod colored slightly aa she answered— "Iam quite well, I believe." "I am afraid you do not exercise enough. 1 see Miss Atwood walking every pleasant after¬ noon. Ii you would join her sometimea, you might find a benefit from it.'' Again Janet blushed as she answered, with n frank smile— "Cousin Jane is very kind ; but I believe she would do any ihing forme sooner than walk with me. At any rate, I would not like to place her in aposition ihat would be so painful lo her. And I do not like to walk by myself here." Miss McLeod did not acknowledge, what Mr* Mainwaring had perceived, thata growing shy nCse hsd been coming over hersince her resi dence in Wesibridge, leoding ber lo koep out of sight aa much as possible. A very faint-hearted reformer was poor little Jan§t, and I om afraid that her co-workers would have disdained to nc- knowlrdge her. "You have not made many ocquaiuiances in Wesibridge, I think. Miss McLeod?" "No, none besides aunt Atwood's fomily nnd yourself." "I am sorry for lhat, for there are lony very agreeable and intelligent people here. Few country villoges can boast of as good society. I do not see you oiten at churcfa lately, I tfaink." "No, I do not go 80 regularly as I ought,'' oaid Janet, sadly. "How would yvu Uhe cIcbs in lho Sunday School 7 It might be on object of intereet, and visiting your scholora would be a motive to take you out occflsionally. The clergyman rnemioncd iaioly that they were very rauch in want of teachers.'' Tha lears came in Janet's eyes. It seemed to her that Mr. Mainwaring must be trying to wound her, or that he was one of the most un- iibsetvant of men, that wilh ao hule tact, he was reminding her of all tho social dutiea anjl kindnesa from whicfa sho was debarred. "I offered ray services theother day, bul they were declined," said she. "On account of your mode o( drees, I pre sume." said hc- Janei bowed. "If my obligations to your faiher hadnot been ao great that they can never be repaid, f might i teel lhat I was taking too great a liberiy, if 1 ¦ should veniure lo express any disapproval of | anything that you might think proper to do But I will run lbe riskoi diHpleasing you, and nsk you wheiher you tfaink it worlh wbile, even supposing one mode of dress to possess far more real superioriiy over tfae prevaiUng fashion than the one doea whicb you have adopted, to sacri¬ fice not ooly your social enjoyments, but your usetulness, for the purpose of making an ineffec tual attempt to change a fashion under which go many people have lived in heahh and comfort, that it will be difficult to persuade ihem that il is injurious?" "At home, my style of dress was not ihoughi so wrong.''said Janet. "There are not many places. I think, where I should not have met wilh more liberality and charity than in West- bridge." "All over tho world, Miss Janei"—and, for the first time, the profeasor called Miss McLeod by her chrisiian name—" dress isconsidered as an exponnet of charocter. When a pereon ia thrown among strangers, they are judged almost as much by lhat as by their countenance. And when lhey adopt a style oi dreas, the mark ofa particular clique, they are considered as indors¬ ing all tfao opinions belonging toit. Now, the ideas o! the Bloomeriles are many of them so flighty, and have so Hitle reason or common sense in them, that I am sure you aro not ac¬ quainted with them, or you wouldnot so openly rank yourself with their party." Poor Janet faad heard hor father talk for houre aboutthe absurdity of tfae usual modeof dresa and the advantagea of tfae Bloomer coatumi!; but now, in her time ofneed, ahe could not re¬ call a eingle one ofhis arguments. Not lhat she was entirely overpowered by the professor's reasons,bul, panly from herown observation ofhis character, and partly from general report, she had imbibed eo bigb an opinion of Mr. Main waring's judgement and underslanding. that she fell unequal to opposing him. There was a Boundnees in his opinions, wlih a firmness and strength in his whole naiure, to which she yiel¬ ded an unconscious deference. This was by no means the only conversation Mr. Mainwaring and Janet had on tfae subject ofher unfortunate dress. Slowly and gradually tbe young giri began to realize that she. might hove heen wasting tfae whole energiea of her earnest naiure in s Quixotic contest with what was in iiself harmlefls. At any rate, ahe became convinced thai " le jeu no vaut pas le ekandelle,^' and yet efae was unwilling to ttfke any decided step without consulting her father. Sfae was alraid that he would be greatly disappointed in her, when ho found her «o weak ihat she ehrank from lhe noiice and commems her attire attrao- From Godey's Lady's Book.

Hording expressed her thanks, and old Dobbin was whirled round the corner tnatanier. ond they were in full pursuit of the Smitfasons. "Here's the house, motfaer ,* this is tho third," eaid Walter, as tfaey came in sight ofa comfort- ablo-lookingtarm houw, which stood upon qoiie abhiff upon ibft right. Everylhing about the premisefl looked very neat. The bright green grasa grew clear up to the front door of the cot¬ tage, which, with the closed curtains in the ".forenoon,''gave a panicularly staid, go-to- meeting-like aspect to the Iront. A narrow footpath wound round to the back door, which Ivwas evidently the only approved mode of en uance. Mrs. Harding alighted and took the well-worn path to the back door, and knocked. " Como io," called out a shrill voice within.— Obeying tbe summons, st^e saw before faer a very tidy-looking matron, with a very while bleacbed cotton cap upon her head, holding in her hand a face or muslin ariiclo of the same fiori, which she v/aa spatting and pulling, evi¬ dently wiih the intenlion of "doing it up." The aspect oflhe kilchen was very inviting. The morning work waa all OUl of the way, and the polished stuve and very white unpainied floor were really charming " I have called to see if one of your daughlers would go out to work," said Mrs. Harding, whh hope fast rising in faer breast, fcr she felt thai she had at laat come to the right plnce. *¦ Well, I don't know; they go out Eome¬ times. Where dp you want them to go V ask. ed lhe woman, with a glance of curioaiiy ot the stranger. Mrs. Harding mentioned the name of the town and the distance, adding that ahe should have a large family through the aeason, and wisfaed some one to cook and do general work. *'I don't know wbat they'd say to it. Tbvy can do as they've a mind to. But they ain't good tor much, nohow," said the mother, who continued lo spat and pull her muslin vigorous- ly. "How old are lhey V " The oldest seventeen this, momh, and t'oiher is two years younger." At ihis moment thedoor opened, and in walk¬ ed a coarse overgrown girl, munching apieccot pie. and staring boldly at the siranger. *' Do you want to go oui to work. Einmelino ? Here's a woman that wants you," said the mother, the moment sho mado her appearance *' Yes," Baid ihe girl, in coarse tones, wiihobt relaxing her stare. Mrs. Harding's heart aank within her. She eaw, at a glance, that ilie great, coarse, unman- nered girl would be more care than help. She hardly knew how lo make an honorable reircai in tfae case j but after a slight cross-examina tion of the capabiliiies of the girl, ahe exproased her beliefihai she was too young for her hard work, and bowed herself out, leaving both moiher and daughter lookiug quite disconcert¬ ed. "Isfifae going?" whispered Walter, as his mother approached the carriage. A shake of the head a.iswered him. " Oh. dear, where shall we grj now ?" "Straight before us. Walter; you must m.t give up for trifles,'* said hia m'jihcr, laughin.'j good humoredly, notwiihsianding tho uneusi ness that wos creeping upon her own hesrt.

"With all thia company upon your bands, ond warm weather coming on, il would be raadnesa for you to try to got along alone." " That ia truo," sighed Mra. Harding ; "but the question is, where to get it. The wfaole vicinity faas been searched over ond over, and th^ is not a girl to be bad." " One muat be had," replied her husband, in a determined lone. " Eight or ten visitors, more or less, for the summer would kill you outright." And he caat a troubled glance at lho pale face and slender form of his wife. " Well, how ahall we get help then V osked Mrs. Harding half laugbing in the midst of faer vexation. "Tfae daya are gone by when girls apply for places." " Yea, there is noway bui to go after them. Ifmy troubleaome rheumatism would jusi leave me for a few daya. you sfaould have two girls.— But as it is, wife, I aee no way but for you to go yourself wilfa Walter for driver." Mrs. Harding laughed to think how she would look driving about the country for " help,'' and would almost have preferred id iry h«r hand alone ; but her husband's troubled counlenauce and the necessities ofthe caae decided her, and she aaid— " I have almost no faith in lbe undertaking, but am willing to try, and it I fail I shall ba no worse off than now. But where shall I go ?" Mr. Harding ihought a moment, and then said— " I have hoard that there nre girls enough on Seccombe Plains." " How far is that ?'' " Only twelve or fifteen miles. It is only fout or five miles from Cousin Hurriraan'e." •' Ofa, that will be nice!'* exclaimed Mrs. Harding, well pleased with the suggestion. "I wltl spend the nigbl with Cousin Clarissa, and start from there in the morning-'' After dinner, tfae same day. Waller brought lhe carriage round to the front door, and Mrs. Hatding started off, infinitely amused with her errand, though with no very sangaine faopes of success. Tho nexi mor ning, il/rs. Harnman gave her guests an early breakfast, and by 7 o'clock thoy were ready to commence ihcir search. It was a lovely morning in early June. Tho sun had noi been up long enough to kiss the glisten¬ ing dew from ihe grass, and tbe thousand song¬ sters of grove ond forest had not qnite fitiiphed their matin song. Everythiug looked bright with hope ; and hope beat higher, agreat deal higher in Mrs. Harding's breasi ihan it had done the day before. The whole world looked so deauii ful that it seemed almost wicked lo doubt, and they rode on over the retired hilla towards Sec¬ combe Plains, feeling almost aa sure of the " bird'' OS ihough they had her "in hand."

Atwood faad hinted at, aa tha conaequence I ofhia daughter's singularity, was alarmed and distressed ot Ihe idea of her illness.; He came : immediately to Weaibridge and took Janet home lo recruit.

"You couldn't wait threa or four weeks, I s'poae.'* " No," was lhe reply: and sbe laid her hand upon Walter's arm. as a signal to drive on. " We- come pretty near gelling a giri that time," said Walter, laughing. " Quiie as near as was beat lor us. It ia well that SftUy is gone, I daro say, replied his mo¬ ther, with a smite.

" Yea.'' said his moiher, as ehe espied a man coming round the corner of the house. " It can do no harm to inquire." •' Can you tell me of ony girls in the vicinity who go out to work ?''sung oul Mrs. Harding to the slovenly:looking man, who had no idea of drawing nearer. "¦V^hal? I didn't hear.'' ! Thc question was repealed, and the sound of' a stranger's voice brought three or four bare¬ footed, uncombed juveniles lo thc door, and the morher'a head to the window. " Cau you tell this woman where she can find to gal to do housework?" said thc man, ad¬ dressing hia betier half. " Why, yes; there's gals enough, but I can't seem to think on 'em," said the woman, with a perplexed look. " P'raps she could get one o^ Smtthson'a gals. He haa got two ihai go out to work." " Would thcy make good help ?" aaked Hire. Harding. "Fust rate. One on 'em worked for mea spell iast wlnto-, and she did well.'' iUrs. Harding thought thai was no great re¬ commendalion but she simply thanked 'her, and asked ifshe could tell of eny others. " Wai, I don't ihink of any ; but there's enough nn 'em a leetle farther on, at Maple- ton." " How far is that ?" " Six miles beyond the Plains." Mrs. Harding loanked her infotmer, and they drove on down ihe long steep hill, at the foot ofwhich lay the insignificant villoge of Secpombe Plaina. " We have heard of ono girl, mother," aaid Waiter, looking very bright. " Perhaps she will be just the one for us •' " Perhaps so," said Mrs. Harding, doubtfully. " We shall foel pretiy grand if wo can carry back a good girl." Mrs. Harding laughed, and iaid something about " counting chickens before they were hatched;'' but just then they found themBelves- at the foot oi the long hill, nnd directly opposite a low farm house, the mistress of which was out, broom in hand, sweeping tbe Utile footpath which led lo the road Mrs. Harding inquired W tho knew of any glria for housework. " Where do you want'em to go J" asked tho woman, wboae curiosity was at once awakened. "Only about fifie&n milea," waa the evasive reply, "Well, I don't know otany," replied the woman looking a littla diBappointed.

A white homespun towel covered the atand between the windows, upon which atood a cracked tea pot, over *bicb straggled long branches of petunia, which were under the necesaiiy of lying down because there was noihing to hold ihem up. " Betty waa soon faeard approaching, and she came in dressed in quite a atnkmg manner.— Her gay, large figured calico was decorated wilh three deep flounces. Large gold ear-rings were in her ears, and rings, which glowed with great yellow and red stones, adorned tho handa which were damp wiib dish-water. To Mn. Harding's inquiry ehe replied, in loud tones— " I don't kalkilate to work out. I atn*^ oble^ged teu. And I mean to go to Boston a viaiting soon os haying is over." Great as were Mta, Harding's necessides, ehe fell liiile inclined to urge Betty Symonda 10 live wilh faer, and on tfaey were soon jogging towards iUapIeion, ^ " Where are you going now, mother f" asked Walter, looking quite blue. " Oh, I don't know, Wally. I am almoat discouraged.'' "Do let us go home, mother; we shall not find a good girl." " We may ; we will try a little longer," aaid iUra. Harding, trying to be cheerful. As they rode imo i^apleton village, they met a man ot whom Mrs. Harding ventured to in¬ quire. *• Oh, there is girls enough," he repliedi cheerfully. "You've just oome by a hou«e where there are ihree." " How far back is it ?" asked Mrs. Harding' eagerly. " Oia. a mile or so.

It was a sub- siaiitiallookiiig farm house set in the midai oi a green field aurrounded by a srons wall, it.- only openitie being a fi)rrnidable farm yard gaie- fastened to a post by a piece ol ropo. Tbe pre" mises were guarded by a noisy dog, wh'i ruahed out the moment he heard the pound of wheels and ran barking lowarJs the carnage. Mra. Harding, however, pushed open the gate, and quickly made her wny lo ihe bouse. A pale, fresh louking matron wua buatlins obout ihc kiichen ; and standing ni a apinn.ng wheel, near do'ir, was a girl in a lidy looking dark calic< * whnm Bhe knew, at a glance, was the object of her t-earch. She at once raade known her errand. " Oh, no," wns the response of the girl; " T couldn't possibly go. Idon't eee who ever iboughil would.'' " I wae recommended to come here.*' repljed Mra. Harding, who liked ihe looks of ihe girl. and was determined to plead her cause with all her might. ''Iwas told ihat you wentout, and very likely would go now,'* *' Who told you so?'' •'An old genlleman whom I mat ihrae or four miles back." " With a gray limping horse I" " Yes, I ahould think so.*' " It must have been old Mr. Cartwright. mo ther ; I don't see what made him ihink ao." "Could Inot induce you to go?" asked Mrs. Harding, bringing her back to the mam point, and ent**ring very fully into the cireum. stances of the family. "Iwill give you gouo wages. Two dollars a week, ifyou eay so." " Well, I couldn't go nohow. They can't spare me." " Could not you go for a few weeks I" asked MxB. Harding, anxioualy, *' Six or eight weeks would do me a great deal ot good- Y'on shal be well paid, ifyou will go. You may sel your own price.'' " No, I couldn't possibly go," »aid the girl, wift a tantalizing smile. ''I ain't'obliged lu work out, and I can't go." iUrs. Harding looked and feh disappointed, but she made her way out, not knowing whore to go. Sho iell that sho w.i9 on a hopeleas er¬ rand, and was half di-posed lo turn her face homeward. But, on second thought, ahe con eluded to try a liule lunger, and ihey rode on. mailing fruitless inquiries here and there. Ai length Bhe recollected ihat snme one had tuld her lhat there were plenty ot girls in iUaptetuu. In an iuatant, old Dobbin was headed that way, j despiie Walter's sinking spiriia and they rodt nlong drinking in the perfume of a thousand flowera and charmed into someihing liko hnpe by the harmonies which float upun the breeze.- of early summer. "i will inquire here," said i>ira. Harding- ae lhey neared an old-fashioned house some iwo or ihree miles beyond thePJafns; and, suiting ihe action to lhe word, she sprang lightly trom ihu carriage and ran up 10 lho duor and knocked.— Alter knocking iill her fingers were eorc, for neither bell nor knocker graced the panel, she heard steps of some one who came stubbing leis¬ urely along to thedoor. The face which pre sented itself was coarse and greasy, and the uu tidy dress of the owner strongly suggestive ol yellow sniiff. "Do you know of any girls for housework X* ¦aid M.19. Hardi.ng, hardly expeoiiug any availo- blo inlormation. " Don't b^'ove there's such thing to be found in ten mile. Folks can't gii gals when they're sick, and dun r.o where well folka can find *em. S'pect they'll have to do iheir own work; at any rate, tbey ono." *' But well peoplo »om«times hovo more work than lhey can do, and then lhey need help,'' re¬ turned Mrs. Harding, ina lone of rsmonatrance. " Wai, gala round here won't go wherc they're looked down on» They'd rather do sunihin* eUt than work for folks that's too grand lo eat with thera," said i'he woman, wilh a look which in¬ dicated that she though: ihe stranger one ofihe oris* ocrocy. *' Then you cannot toll mo of any one I" in¬ terrupted iUra. Harding, inicndin/ to cut obon the uncivil harangue. •• Nu4 not unleas Betiy Symonds would go j but, thon, she wuuldn't, I know,'' replied ihe woman, who seemed a liule softened, now thai khe had given vent lo her spleen against the "giand lolUi."

Who Bonowed my TTmbrella?
A hri^ht round dollar once I epent, For an umbrella, which I lent; And though the fellow really meant, For auch be eaid wa.i bia intent, Back again to have it sent. Vot many an nniioua bour I spent, WnlUng for that same event; But wind or weather did prevent, Or be his promiFe did repent. And oft in storm though out I went, ,&ndslaiDly «|foke-my dincontent, YeWwWn vain wa«i my lament— Asd^M^ilery document, Blun ia perFuasive argument, Tbough very little blundi^bment. No Joubt to bi-i oston ij«bm out, Tbr*iugb tho office to him went; Wben back he wrote tbat accident, My umbrella. mui:b bad rent. Ilo h |
