.1. TiLK'OF "liA'GBANPE ABMKK. "
One StUl, summer nfternoon, thirty yeara ago, asmall sloop was .sailing slo\y- ly dowu the Seine from. Rouen. She iuadc but little progress iu her course, for the air WM3 ai) if asleep, and not a breath was stirring to fill the sails, or even to raise theih as the^r dropped heavily against the spars. The white- sailed pacUet-boat glided lazily, there¬ fore, dowu tlie stream, the curving, sun¬ lit ripples flashing from her bows, as from the bright breast of the snowy- winged swan.
On board all was quiet: it seemed as though the drowsy beauty of the sum¬ mer afternoon had cast a spell over tho lively and talkative passengers.   Eveu the mate's elieery Avhistle had subsided Into an occasional chirrup; uot a sound was to be iieard, save   an  occasional •  creak from a spar, and the low, monot- ,  onous inurmnr of the river, as it rippled b    agaifjst its stone-bound banks.
.On the forecastle sat a group of Nor-
.maa women,—strong, cheerful-looking
country people.   They were returning
fromi market, as was evidenced by the
. ;¦   baskets which many of them carried on
¦their arms, and which lay about the
deckl   Doubtless they had been with
butter and eggs, and fresh fruit, and
many other things, to the market held
in tiie . quaint old- square   at Bouen,
" where Joan of Arc looks down, from
, lier, stone pedestal, on the peaceful de-
V sOendants Of those for whom she fought
and suffered.   The market being ended,
they had hurried on board the sloop,
now drifting down between the Islands
opposite Moulineau, and were far on
their way home.
Suddenly the sloop rounded a curve in the stream, which, for the last half mile of her course, had obstructed tht viewof those on board; aud there ap¬ peared a long reach of glittering water, ;. which seemed to run to a point at the "horizon.
J^nst where the  banks  appeared to
unite, stood a cluster ot small houses,
j ; Interspersed with trees, and above them
a square church-tower rose dark against
the sky.
As the sloop come in view of-the little town, the look-out man shouted in a sharp tone, " La Bouille! "
At these words, a sudden spirit of ac¬ tivity seemed to seize on the passengers. Thosowho were to disembark at the town began to collect their packages ; friends exchanged farewells, and dogs ran about barking.
'¦ Of tlie group on the forecastle, only one had beeu fairly awake when the bustle began. The others were dozing in various attitudes; and oue of them, a good-looking young farmer, was fast ¦ asleep, with his head resting against the rail of the forecastle.
Disturbed liy the cry, liret one, tlien another raised her head, and on seeing that the packet was nearing La Bouille, begau to collect her panniers and pack¬ ages. But the young farmer slept on soundly, with his face upturned to the smi's warm rays.
At length ono of the group addressed a ruddy-faced woman, with snow-white cap and clacking wooden shoes, saying, " See, Madame Parcand! how soundly your nephew Jean sleeps! Unless you. waken him, I think he will not only go on to Aixelles, where he intends to land, but to Havre."
" O, I want him to st-ay to-Hjght witli us at La Bouille! " exclaimed Madame Parcand, "and I am determined he shall do so." Sayiiig this, she pulled her nephew by the arm, and called him' by name. For some time, nothing eould be extracted from the young man but a series of une. mtortable grunts; but at last he woke and sat up, rubbing his eyes.
"For'shame Jean!" said Madame Pai-cond in au expostulating tone; "see, I have made myself quite hot in trying to waken yon. Here' we are at La Bouille, and I want you to go home with me for the night. Instead of going¬ on to Aixelles."
"I'm afraid I can't possibly stay, aunt," replied the youug farmer. ."I haveanappointmcnt at Chanjbord early to-tnorrow morning, and I could not by any means get there in time from La Bouille." ¦¦¦¦¦- ''An appointment invented for tho occasion, Jean, I think!—" ."Indeed, lam speaking truly, aunt. -Business must be attended to. anil if a farmer will not sometimes go t» seek his coatomers, he may chatioe to find ' •    that they will hot always come tii seek .,   Jiiiii.". ,     :

Now, Monsieur Perrandhad a great reputation in that little locality; for it
w**:5^eU;kn6iwn that h^'liia s>rv^ in ^^egrandei^rmee, under the'^rs't Napp-' ieqn, >ndi niaior told-of many perils 'ttobiigh-wliich he had passed to a'green bl^'iii^,- aAuBl hlB name wisa not atall uiiitartpjUt.to" Jean, who felt;»i>mewhat iWmnfe'd toitay stLa BoiWwl and:,8!ee. m^^mati, : He wished; a]s^,to.see the Paifcwids in tiieir vine-poienBi^epttate on the JiUl: still, he did not Uke tPmlBS hii)'fii>¥<»''*t«>«nt> «dli«fe*od*Sre.-joIUtei 's*!ngitfg-liis a'tltk to daatief,"'iik laat, 'with.abHghtehed face, he'excHiimed,—
"itiiink St.'i'eltrae's cutter is to Stan from iia B'oiiille this eveyiug for Havre, laden with timber. If'he goes moder¬ ate laiio, and will land me.at the pier ppposite AixeUos, it will suit me very weU;'aiid I can then spend part of the evening, at any rate, with you. I know he is on board this boat, and will go and look for him."
Now, amidst cheers and laughter, and much voblfemtion, the vessfel was warped up to the side of a litlle quay, juat in front of'La BoUille, and a gang¬ way was laid from the shore to the deck'. Across It hastened men, woman, ^ahd children,—a motley crew, for the most part chattering so volubly, that the wonder was, who did all the listen¬ ing.
When they had nearly all reached the
shpre, the pigs seemed to think their turn was fairly come. A porker led tho way across the gangway, m.oro eagerly probably than he would havedone had he known lie was destined for sausages on tiie morrow. .But Jean, who had not yet crossed, struck him ou the nose with hisstieiv, andsent him baok with very little ceremony.. He then went ashore, and found his aunt rauch per¬ plexed how to carry home two great market-panniers, and a wide, shallow bowl of glazed earthenware which she had lirought from Bouen for dairy pur¬ poses. Jean settled the matter bj- tak¬ ing the panijiors from her, and thus leavingher free to bestow her undivided care on the new purchase of whicli she was so proud.
" But, aunt," said he, as they pro¬ ceeded tlirough the town, " I fear you had not a very good market this morn¬ ing, your panniers are so hoavj-."
" Mon ami," repUedtheshrewd house¬ wife, "at Koucn I buy as well as sell. To-day I have bought some new china, some knives, and a reaping-hook; be¬ sides this nice milkpan. Will Monsieur Peltrac take you this eveuing?"
" Yes; I am to be on the quay at half past eight, and lie will land me nt Aix¬ elles, so I shall be able to spend a few hours with you.".
Their way led from tho town along a winding path to the foot of the wooded hill behind it. There the path divided; one lia^f leaciing with a steep ascent up the hill; the other curving to the right, aud following the winding.-j of the Seine.
Madame Parcand began boldly to climb the steeper path, but was soon obliged to stop and pant for breath. Having reached the summit of the as¬ cent, thej- turned in at a little gate which led into an apple-orchard, bound¬ ed by a hedge lined with prtjilars. Through the orchard a path led to the garden and farmhouse; but ere the aunt and nepliew reached the garden gate, they were met by a little black- eyed fellow, who rushed .into hifl moth¬ er's arms,. and clamoi-ously iatjuired what she liad brought him froni Bouen. Madame Parcand gave him a few sugar¬ plums of curious form, from pne of the parcels in her panniers, with which he walked off" towards the garden-; steaUng glances froin behind his jnotKer's gown at his half-remembered cousin, when he thought he was not observed.
On entering the garden, they were inet by Jean's uncle, and by a tall old majl, somewhat bowed with years, whom Jean at once recognized asthe Monsieur Ferrandof whom he bad so often heard. After greetings were ov^r, .Madame Parcand said,-"Monsieur Ferrand, I have often wished yon to know my nephew. UnluckUy, he can only spend partof the eveniug with us, as he must be at'Chambbrd early to-morrow morn¬ ing." As the two men. saluted each other with the accustomed ceremony of the French, she continued, " Now, let us have some dinner, I am quite hun¬ gry, for a shop-man kept me chaffering so long about the great milkpan, that I had but a very hurried meal before I left Bouen. -Run to the kitchen flre, Jacques, and see whether the soup is yet ready."
In a very little while the party sat down to dinner in a room overlooking thegarden and orchard, though the view from the window-was somewhat check¬ ed by the profuse foliage ofthe over¬ hanging vine. They had thin soup to begin with, and the meat thathadbeen boiled in it; followed by several dishes, the names of which 1 shallpresume not to attempt. But I know that there were beans, dressed in some marvellous man¬ ner pecuUar to the French. Ourdsthere were, also, for those that liked them; and Madame Parcand piqued herself upon her dairy produce, as well as on her eider, of which there was abun¬ dance, for everybody drinks cider In Normandy.
After dinner they all went out into the orchard, and sat under the great apple tree, while the children raced, shouting, over the grass, vainly chasing the gorgeous dragouTflics that fluttered in all directions, and skimmed the sur¬ face of a dark pool under the hedge.
Evening was now on them, and a hot, shimmering haze hung over the dis¬ tance, while a low niurmur, like that in a shell, reminded them of the un¬ seen river, whenever there was a pause in the children's noisy glee. Presently out came the great turkey-ooek from the farmyard, making direct for little Jac¬ ques, swelUng itself out, and gobbling in a terrible way. Jacques retreated aa it advanced, uncertain whether to laugh or to cry; but his brother Guillaume came craftily beiiind the turkey, and dealt Jiim auch a rap on the head with a stick, tiiiitthc turkey, evidently think¬ ing two against one-was not fair play, heat a timely retreat. •Monsieur. Ferrand laughed, and said to Madatne Pai-cand, " What fine little feUows thoaeboys of yours are growing! I think Jacques must be ahout the age that Monsieur Eugene Deschamps was whqn he and I first became acquainted.' " How.did yoii come'^ meet him?" asked.''Miidaitae.Paroaiid.

Several French famjllesj ;till recenUy" resident in 'Moscow, ¦' came awaij .V¥rttbJ;| u?, because they feared that the Bna- sians would take merciless v.engeance on them for the injuries they had re- peived from pur soldiers. :. ;¦ For aomejittle time the retreat was' fairly prosperous; not altogether pleas¬ ant, certainly, for fodd was sParce, and' we wore hatnssed hy iwarms of Cpa- ^aciis;:wh'o tut'tiff ffli ifraggiPhs.: T6p heavy char'g?.s of our splendid Cavalty, regiments could not match in apeied the lightly equipped ponies ofthe Cossaeksi so that the army, and especially the baggage, was, in a sense, at the mercy of these pesLs. Nevertiielcss, our hard¬ ships were as yet eoniparatlvely few, and the retreat went on fora time with¬ out any serious privations.
" But this- only lasted a few days. Then, suddenly, without any warning, canie on the Russian winter, so terrible iu its benumbing frost!—Death's mes¬ senger to the grandearmee. How well I remember the (irst frosty eveuing, though nearly thirty years have since passed! Dp to that day t'he wpather had been dull, and not very cliilty; ao that we. hardy soldiers had not, till then, much suffered from the cold. My section, too, waa unluclty; for that night we could not induce the bivouac fire to burn well. Indeed if is wonder¬ ful we were not'all frozed to death. Only one of us felt any bad effects from it at the time. He had uhliickily drenched oue of his feet, by putting it into a ditch, in the course of our day's march. About midnight he roused me from souud sleep, and declared he could get no rest, owing to his foot, and he was afraid something serious was the matter with it. In fact, the poor fellow was froat-bitteu !
" Wliat became of him, you will aak? In truth I cannot tell; for next day there came on such a bittei'wiud and blinding snow-storm, that my regiment dispersed in it, and few, very fow, of my comrades have I ever seen again.
" Ah, how that snow feU! Not in showers, as it does here, for a few days in winter; but in storms, iu whirlwinds^ of which you who have never been a\vay from la belle France ean form no idea.
" tn the middle ofthe storm, I, like many others, lost my way. As I stag¬ gered along, bewildered and blinded, I came upon an overturned wagon. I thought I would take shelter for a while on the lee-side of it, and get breath to go on again. I therefore wallced round to the farther side, aud tliere, to my astonishment, I found a littlo boy, about the age of Jacques, crouching un¬ der the high wagon-tilt, very cold, and as white as a sheet. I. gave the poor little fellow some brandy from my flask, and chafed his chilled bauds. He revived, and told me that his father and lie were retiring from Moacow for fear of the Buaaians; but that the form¬ er had beeu carried oif by the Cossacks, while he was trying to right tlio wagou, which had beeu upset in the snow. Tbe Cossacks had nol seen the child, fdr his father had sent him into a small wood hard by, to look for water, just be¬ fore he was taken prisoner.
" After the little fellow had told me this historj-, he put his hand into mine, and said in a child's trustful way, ' You will take care of me now till papa comes, win not yo'u ?'
"Jiistimaginerayperplexity! Icould not for yery shame leave the poor little soul to certain death, but I did not at all see what to do with him. For a mo¬ ment, I was ready to grumble at tho 11 r fortune which hadledmeto the wagon. But the next instant I felt that there was very little hope that, in any case, I should ever see my own land again; and it seemed to .me that I should die happier-if I had endeavored tp give the boy a chance fbr his life. So I wrapped him ih my blanket, and left him inside the tilt while I went to try to flnd out my way back to the road by which the main body of the army was moving. Just then there was a lull in tha storm, and I distinguished the gray masses of our troops moving slowly along the plain at some distance. On this, I hur¬ ried back to tho wagon, fearing lest the auow should come ou again. and hide the road from me.
" Then, with ray little charge beside me, I walked off towarda it, dreadfully afraid lest the Cossacks ahould catch me, or that I should again lose my way. When we reaohed the line of march, I found myself iu the midst of gloomy, diahearteued men. I aaw one of my owucomradea in the crowd, and asked where the regiment was. He informed me tiiat a great part of it had diapersed in the anow-storm, and that stiU more, of wiioin he wiis one, had fallen behind, unable to keep up. Thus only a mere handful of men remained with tlie col¬ ors, which were some^ distance in ad-

Vance. I did not make any effort to overtake theni, as the child could uot walk fast, and to outstrip him was not to be thought of. Just then, he aeemeij to bave revived to a wonderful extent, and inarched along bravely, munching a bit of biscuit my comrade liad good- naturedly given hira. His naive re¬ marks made us laugh. In spite of tlie general gloom; and when he Insisted on blowing tlie bugler's horn, from which he evoked a mo.st' discordant noise, ahurstof merriment ran through our sombre party.
" Evening woa now closing in, und the snow was again fulling alowly, and ill large flakes. Ju^t at thia time we entered a pine wood, where some of the men wero iittcmptiiig to light bivouac fires. Among them I recognized u few of uiy owu friends, seated round one which was as yet burning very slowly. AVe greeted one another with mutual satisfaction, and they begged me to re¬ main with them, saying they had food, if the fire would but enable them to cook it.
"What did the food consist of?— Horse-flesh, to be sure! a cut out of a staff oiBcer's thorough-bred gray. 0, you may laugh. Monsieur Jean, but let me teU you there are times when horse¬ flesh ia accounted a great dainty. I've toasted a bit of myslioe-sole before now, but I confess it was rather tough. Any¬ how, horse-fleah was all we had that night, andif it were not done enough, why, that was the fault of the lire. Lit- tleEugene got plenty for his share,—at first he did hot like the look ofhis sup¬ per, but hunger overcame his serupips. Then we put him next the fire, aud one and all curled ourselves round it; and tried to sleep, taking it in turn to keep watch.
"Early next morning we continued our route. In passing througii a wood a few miles beyoud where we sleptj I beheld a weird spectacle. About a doz¬ en lancers of the guard had faUen asleep round their bivouac.fire without taking precautions to keep it alight. In flie night the fire had gone out, and there iay.the men, everyone of them' frozen to.death. I made Eugene turn 'away- ilia head, that'lie mig;ht nc>t see wliafc we were, passing; but 'the sightj will .lii^uiit.me.tQ my.dyingday.

Yes, and they -are cavalry too!—oti'e, two, three, squadrons,-and Just look at thut dark mass behind!'
"A message was Immediately sent up to the column, saying, thdtabpdy of cav¬ alry would be at dur heels in a few inln¬ utes ; aud the party with which ll was marching, pushed on to have the pro-f lection of the othera. Beforo wejpould succeed in tliia endeavor, and were yet some distance in the rear, we saw a body of Cossacks come sweeping up to¬ wards us. We halted, and every man who could use his: bayonet rallied round the two officers. Careless of ex¬ act parade order, we formed into a sort of rougli circle, wedged together shoul¬ der to shoulder, the first rank with one knee on the ground, the; rear rank at the charge, while those whose muskets were flry made ready. In the centre were the two offlcera, a few badly wouuded men, and little Eugene, who was aatduiahed, rather than frightened, at the wild appearance of Ihe advancing horaemen.
"Not aaound could be heard as the Coaaacka galloped up to our circle, ex¬ cept the deep thunder of horse-hoofs, and the voice of our senior officer; who called on us to bo steady lest we ahould be ridden down. At first these: wild horsemen seemed determined to charge us; but when close to tho bayonet points, they swerved right and left, and paased in a divided torrent round our circle, cuttingus off from the main. column.
"In the rear of the latter we, now heard firing begin, which showed us that the Cossacks had ventured to at¬ tack it.. We were very sure they could uot possibly break the main body of the division, but it was impossible not to think that the attack might prevent our comrades from sendi ng us aid. Tills was very discouraging, but the mere fact of being closely sunouudod by such a crew of barbarions was enough to make one's heart sink. Tho Coasacka theraaelves seemed quite sure we should fall an e;isy prey to them in the' end, aud more than one of them was killed close to the bayonets, while taunting, us with our extremity.
"Thus, iu dire need, we awaited .wliat Providence shoulil send us, when suddenly wc observed a commotion among the Cossacks. Theh came the soul-reviving shout of " Vive I'Empc- reur."' and as the Cossacks turned (heir bridles, somosquadroiisoflancerscame charging up like ii whirlwind. In front of them rode Murat. While at a con¬ siderable distance, his attention had been called to the cloud of Cossacks hovering iu the horlzou. Anxious to seizeso favorablo an opportunity of de¬ livering a heavy stroke against them,- he iiad drawn together such troops sis were at hand, and charged fiercely with¬ out a moments's hesitation.
"Y^ou may judge if we did not cheer him tilU pui- throats were hoarse. The story grows long, my friends, but I have not much more to tell. As our retreat lengthened, our privations becaihe more severe. Many a timo did I never taste food for twonty-foirr hours, and perhaps In the mean time I had to fight fasting. Cold and want, my friends! these wero what destroyed the Great Army.
" At length the retreat ended, and we crossed the' Beresina. Eugene and I wero among the first to pass the fron¬ tier. A ragged scarecrow I was, top! very unlike the smart soldier who liad marched to Moscow a few mouths be¬ fore.
" When the army was reorganized, I was promoted to the rank.of sergeant, ahd rejoined my old regiment, where, \ alas! I found few of the old familiar faces. Then I and some others were Bent to France, to drill the young con¬ scripts who were being sent out by thousands to join the army In Germany. Everywhere I was accohipanied by Eu¬ gene, who bad borne the hardships of our retreat wonderfully weU.
^'When I reached France, lobtaiued leave to take my little charge up to Paris, thatl might deliver him to his aunt, the only relative whose name he remembered. The old lady lived in a great iiouse in the Rue des Augustlna. She was at dinner wheu we arrived, and waa greatly surprised that a ser¬ geant and little boy wanted to speak to her. siie entered the room into which we had been shown, tall aud upright, with a grand gray head, and a counter naiice like a queen's.
"Then I told Eugene's story ; and. when I mentioned her brother's name and 'the circumstalncea of his capture, adding that I feared \ye ahould never see him again, she sank into a cliairj and her laced handkerchief was steeped In bitter tears.
'I Then ahe called the -boy to her, stroked his head, ami bade him come and live with her and be to her like a son. The pretty boy stood irresolute, and lookpd wIsH'oliyat me;'on whieii I said, ' itousieur, I have now placed you iii the bosom of your family, and my eonneclion with you ia for theproa- entendod.

I will still be your friend, all the same, if a poor soldier, may take tiiat title; I love'j'ou very much, my boy, and shall alwaya be ready to do you aiiy service in my power." •
" Then; before either of tliem could speak, I turned and went out.at tbe door.-That afternoon, I wandered about tbe streeta of Paris for hours, feeling as If the sun had grown darker since I lost my little friend.

To hear the dinner Uoni. Tho -welcome blast was heard at la.s L.
And down ho dropped his hoe ; But the old mau shouted In his ear— '" My boj-, hoe out your row!"  '
Although a " hard oue" waa the row.
To use a plowman's phrase, The lad, as sailors have it,
Begiiinlnff well'to " haze',"— " I c'an.'i said ho, and manfully
He selieil again his hoe, Aud tho old man smiled to see

A STOEY FOE THE LITTLE FOLKS.
PSENIE HAVEN'S SUKPRISE PARTY. Phenie Haven was a new scholar. She combed her hairHtruight back froin lier face, and screwed It up behind in a waterfall tlie size of an English walnut. The color of it was dirty yellow.
She. told " Whoppers," so the boys said; but the girls generally swallowed her stories, envyiiig her at the same time dreadfully. And I'd like to know who eould help envying a girl with six¬ teen bran new ailk dresses packed Into her bureau drawer; sky-blue velvet pe¬ lisses, satin bonnets, and gold rings, and clmiua, and bracelets without number! ¦One day Maria Jane Jones' got mad with hor. ^"X don't believo any oue tliut has such grand things as you tell about would wear a faded out calico, and liaveahecl in thoholeof her stock¬ ing," said she.
Phenie tossed her hoad as ahe replied, " 'VVbat is the use of wearing nice clothes to this common school? I keep them to wear at home wboni I play on the grand piano in the big parlOr, and ait on the velvet sofas and oinbroider in satin stitch."
'' Pooh!" answered the saucy Maria Jane; "yoii can't cheat me."
" Come to my house, ifyou don't be¬ lieve it, then, iind I'll show you all my things," said Phenie. ^
"How, when I don't know whore you live?"
"Easy aa nothing to find," ran on Phenie, glibly; "justgodown the street till you como to the molasses candy shop, and turn straiglit round the cor¬ ner; and when you've gone three or four blocks, take the first street you see, and there's the house—a tall, ten-story cream-colored one, with elegant, high, marble steps.   You can't miss it."
Somehow or other, I don't kuow ex¬ actly why, Maria Jane didn't go to Phenie's house; and after a while they "made up."
"I'U tell you what, girls," Phenie said one day, " I'm going to give a party- only don't yoii.tell."
"When?"'they asked, crowding about her, crazy with delight.
" O, some time—soon," answeied Plienie; only none of the boys must know. I shan't invite them, just for their imiiudence."
"Weii, I don't know how lean keep It from my brother," said'little May Eoss; " fpr he'll see my wiiite dress when ita done up, and he'll be sure to bo round when I'm dressing."
" I'll have to give it uiJ, .then," re¬ marked Piienie, rather : willing than otherwise.
"0,no, don't,"..<'J!ied all, in one voice; "we won't let the boys know. May shan't ieither; we'll fix it someway. Are you going to hiivo us in the big pallor ? and what are you going to have nice.to eat ?
" Of course you'll be In the big par¬ lor ; and I'm going to have a new pinino'i wltli gold keys, on purpose fpr the par¬ ty ; and you're going to have supper up in the glass cupola. I'm going to have bony turkeys, and scalped oysters, and ice cream, all kinds;'and bun-buns (that's French), and floating Islands, aud Charley's ruslies, and everytliing else."
The glrla drew a long breath.; tliey were quite overcome. Tliey talked it' over after acliool, asking each other, " What are you going to wear?" "Shall you do your hair up in papers ?" " Are you going to tie your sash iu front, or behind?"
Said one, more matter-of-fact tiian the real, " I shall wait tilll know wheii it's going to be."
" Sure enough," was the cry ; "ahe didn'f. tell ua. Let's ask her now- Phenie Haven! AVliere's Pliouie Hav- ,pn?"   ,
But Phenie Haven liad gone home. She waan'tto be found; and she didn't cpme tP school for more than a week afterwards. When she did appear, the girls fiew round her, asliing," Where have you been?" "Yoii haven't foi-r gotten theparty?" ,   ,
"No," saii^ Phenie, rather shortly. " Well, Joc are all ready.    Says why don't yoii have It Saturday? tliaPs day after to-morrow ; that'll   be' first-rale. Say, WiU you?"
"Yes," .answered Phenie, very much as if she were cpriicred, ahd saw no way out.
•" All right,!' said the giria; anfl then
tbey fell to chattering soi loud and so
fasti and laughed so m|iqh at nothing at'
i ail, that thenle s'lljaped away again, un-;

They turned the molasses candy cor¬ ner, and then the search fpr the ,cr/eam colored fpn:Story bouse jylljji tlie'marbie steps; began. They, went three blocks and took the first atreet; they tried: four blocks and the ftret' street,^ then five blocks, six blocks; and by this time the stoutest-hearted was ready to give It.up. AU at once May Boss gave a ahout "Look tliere!" cried' she; aud as she pointed :4er finger, the fvlilak of a faded calico dreas was seen going through a door.
Every oue kuew that dress. " Do yo'u-suppose she lives there?" said they in dismay, eying, the dirty brosyn wood-' en. house, the Tickety steps, aud rusty ddpr-knph airaskew;'. t .', : ,',' I'll jiist find, out," said Maria Jane Jones, walking lip boldly; arid tbe rest followed her iead.
She knocked smartly with the tip of her parasql, and Phenie iiersolfcatne to the door.      ,
"How do you do?" said Marla.'sweet- ly; "w-e'veoometo the grand jiarty iu the big parlor. , We are all dying for a sight of the new piano with tbe gold keys.
At this aU the girls laughed scornful ly, and Phenie tried to shut t:be door, but they pushed againgti-Jt'; and tjien she tried to run awaylJ Thliy ran after lior In^o'arobin filled with steam and the perfume of soft soap, whorea -woman, Willi her gown tucked up and Tier aleeVes rolled above her elbows, stood over a tub washing. '' "We're the company that Phenie in¬ vited," said.Maria Jane, aa abie looked up- .
"A pretty time, washing-day is, for company!'.' said she, turning toPhenie; " there's no place butthe wpod-.iJiedT- you may take tbem but .there.!'
Phenie's face was rather chopfallen as she. ushered, lier guests Into tho wood¬ shed;; but she aat dowu on the saw- horse, siiying, " I don't dare fo tako you iuto the pj.rlor to-day, for ma's cross as pizoh7 but-
" There's no use In talklug," inter¬ rupted Maria Jane Jones;i'Vj'Ou'ie just going to get your pay for tliis." ^he unbolted the gate that led into the street, and, with a "Whoop, whoop,, whoop, hurrah!" twenty or more of the school-boys camp tumbling In, aud, joining hands, danced round Phenie like orazy tilings.
'• Sucli a splendid cream-colored house! O, my!" they cried, laughing as though they would die.
" When's tlie supper to bo, in the glass oupolo-oroh ?"
"Jlother, inother!" screamed Phenie, getting frightoned. '" What does this mean?" asked Ii.or mother, who had overheard all  that, had been said.
"She's been lyiug liko sixty!" spoke up the boj's.
Tiien ono told something Phenie had said, and another told something else, and so on.
"Phenie!" scolded her mother, ang¬ rily, "ure you a fool? Get into the house. I guess you'll ache for this!" and she helped her along with.a alap and a puah.
So ended "Phenie Haven's aurprlae party,"' -which turned put a decided surprise all round.
