to associate this lovely little ''^'"8 '''"^ the grim tenant ofa closed room; but so it is. My cousin Violette is the family skeleton. Her father, my Unole Charles, was the head of the family. He married a French lady who did not long survive tho birth of her little girl. My uncle lived principally ahroad, but occasionally sent bis little daughter, with her bonne, to stay with his sister, who become pas¬ sionately attached to her. Years passed, tbe visits were discontinued. My uncle's health required a permanant residence in a warm climate; the society of his child was essential to him; he resisted my aunt's petitions to part with her o week. She grew up into beautiful woman¬ hood. The father's letters were full of raptures abo'ut his daughter's beauty, her talent, and her accomplishments. Then came the black shadow. I never knew exactly what  it was, I never cared   to

served. She was tall, and tipright, and scorned theuse of stays; her eyes had the fire of youth, her gray hair was plentiful, hor large teeth white, strong, and per. fectly entire. She was a Red Eepublican, who waded wiih retrospective delight in tho bloody shambles of the first Kevolu- tion. She gloated orer the agony of the aristocratic victims of the guillotine, and dilated on the sufferings of the unhappy Marie Antoinnette with fierce delight.

If my Aunt Thoodosia had proposed a visit to Timhuctoo, she could scarcely have met with greater opposition. TJncle Gilbert was dead against it—Aunt Jane's feeble treble w.ts raised in angry protest. "Go to France, indeed! Fcmaks were Sriiified to remain at home in her young days,"
Aunt Jane is always drawing invidious comparisons between her young days and mine. Sho mourns over the decadence of the present generation. She bewails tho habits, customs, manners and dress of Toung England.
Her youth was in the time of the Ee- gency—her girlhood's dress, the inch of boddice and statuesque drapery of that mpral period!
-lunt Theodosia stoutly mantained her position. She was determined to take roe to P.iris ; it would be of immense advan- t.ige to rae, she said. My mother was easily won over to the same opinion.
Aunt Theodosia is my deal father's sis¬ ter; she has lived tvith us since his deatb, and is tho recognized oracle of our house. Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Jane do not un- derstAnd iter in tho le.ast; they call her 'V''-:^hty." Di.tr Aunt Theodosia is cer tai.'ily rather high-ilown and romantic in her ideas, and a little declamatory in her stylo of conversation—there is a dash of tlte tripod and toga in ttU she says.
"Are you really in earnest, SoshiaV" sai-.l my uncle, *' Do you mean .to go trol- loping about the country, like a couple of she Don Quixotes ?"
" Very indecorous," bleated aunt Jane. "Certainly not in accordance with my ideas ot femins propriety," c:)ntinued my uncle,
*' Possibly not," said ray aunt, sarcasti¬ cally'. "John Ball cripples his women alter a diU'ereot fashion to John China- muu, but both have the same end in view, to k«-p in slavish obedienoo at home.— Tue pig tailed Ci'lestial induces his inle^ rior anunji to bend b:ifore the juggernaut .of ];i:iaion.

Aunt Jane smiled ooniplnoently. . She wears what wc North country people call a " lopping" of lla.xen curls, and Hatters he;-;ell, ivo believe, in  the nitasy fiction.
" You would like tho trip. Bjssie?'' said my mother,
1 ventured lo reply, that " I should like it very much indeed."   I had held my
olette.   The door of  the blue chamber would never bo opened by me.
My aunt's tears wrung a clumsy apolo¬ gy from my uncle; he offered no further opposition to the proposed trip. Tho mo¬ tion was triumphantly carried. Our pre¬ parations were soon made. Aunt Jane assisted with the air of a martyr. Sho as¬ pires to the crown of poartyrdom; bul I am certain llie thorns will be carefully extracted before sho places it on her head. .She mouths and grimaces inher pilgrimage through life, but the peas in her shoes are boiled very soft indeed.— flor limping is all make-believe.
My mothsr parted from us with many tears. She was very unhappy because my aunt Theodo'sia would nol consent to take a large lot of eatables aoross the Channel. French cookery is much distrusted in A^orth Loomshire, "VVe live in the faith of our forefathers. Frogs and snxils are darkly suspected to llurk in Mossoos cruisine. My mother implored me, with tears in her eyes, on no account to touch the made up dishes.
We were to _ travel in company with a Belgian lady, a friend of les Djmoiselks T) 'sorme. at whose establishment my aunt had arranged to atop during our visit.— Tho demoiselles' lived a little out of Paris; they conducted an "e.tternat Pro¬ testant," and received lady boarders du- rin~g the holidays. We were introduced to our Flemish escort the day after our arrival in town. She was a pleasant, live¬ ly party, already in tbe autumn of her sc,:omlc }:mnessc, on good terms with her¬ self, and disposed to be equally so with the rest of the world. "There was good deal of her,alittle too much I thought, but she said her plumpness was not; detrimental because she was Ucrt fr'ttc. I did not myself consider slia had much cause for self gratulation on that score. Madam had decided on ths New- haven route- There was ,i fresh breeze blowing as we left the pier, which 1 did not altogether relish. My aunt got out her note book. She commenced a floivery passage—suddenly she stopped. A sickly smile was on her lips, a grtenish hue per¬ vaded her face — she tras in tfae grasp of the sea-monster! A sympathizing steward guided her faltering steps doivn the cabin stairs. Madam had Blready disappeared into that den of misery. I remained on deck, where I was sufBcicnlly ill myself to feel a malignant pleasurein the suffer ings all around me.
We neared Dieppe. 1 hastened to con¬ vey the news to the viotims below. Every red velvet bertli was tenanted by a mass of groans. My aunt suffered quietly ; not no Madame. Tho Flemish woman was wonderful in her grotesque contortions. She tossed and tumbled in hor berth; she groaned she raved, she wept, sho prayed. Sho appe.iled to all in tho cabin. "N'est ce pas que je suis la plus malade." She would bave quarrelled savagely with any one who had disputed her claims to pro- eminance in suffering. Slio tightly grasp¬ ed the neck of the stewardess ; (that much enduring person showed me tiie marks of Madame's nail's) ; she was al ways unhappy in the properarrangemen' of la cavctlc. Some of the passengers were dining in the next oabin. She was furi¬ ously enraged against them. Bah! les coehons Anglias vont manger de la viin- de, oui, absolument de la viande." Tho very idea brought on a fresh paroxysm of her agony.
Madame was not a pleasant tr.ivelling companion,  and went through a series of pantomines, painfully suggestive of her past sufferings.     Eich moment I appre¬ hended  a  tragedy—it   was   acting—sho ailed nolhing. AVhen we came in sight of Paris, sho brightened up considerably.— "A frienr" of hers," she said, with a sira per, "would meet us at the station." Tbe friend was there ; we were introduced lo him.    Monsieur Felix somdhini]—! never knew his surname—I retain a most grate¬ ful recollection of Felix.   He was devoted to Madame; they were affianced; she cal¬ led him her esciave, and he was proud of the title.    Thanks to Felix and the com¬ mercial  treaty,  tha examination of our boxes was a mere form—in a few minutes they had received ihe white chalk mark of approval.   Felix hurried us off to a re¬ staurant—in spite of bewilderment and fatigue, I was delighted with the gay room so brilliantly lighted.   A carte was placed in my hand by an obsequious garcon.— Hindostanee would have been as intelli¬ gible to mo.   I appealed to Felix ; he ca. teredforus.    My aunt ale the contents cf her plate in meek faith !   it was a pre¬ paration  of veal, and  white  beans — a wholesome supper for a weak digestion. Madame did not cat much; she enlivened tho meal by recounting the incidents of the voyage with pre Eaphaelite elabora¬ tion  of detail.   Felix listened with the tenderest sympathy.    Excellent Felix I how polite ho was—how amiable, and alas! how dirty !  He adored the Eoglish

It was mid. night when wo reached tho establisbment of Demoiselles and Madame Desorme.— Felix left us at the gate. lie implored us to command his services—he would bo delighted to show us the wonders ofParis. The Demoiselles received me very kindly. We mounted the slippery stairs, and were shown our bedrooms. My aunt looked aghast, the apartments were so far remov¬ ed from her English ideas of comfort.

childhood, impressed on va-^ infant mind *..'. painlul senso of my personal insignifi- caucc, and hushed mo to silence, with the   oft repealed cry   that   "little girls should be scon and  not heard."   I have left  my girlhood   behind   me, but  my claims to being'audible, as well as visible, are still unrecognized by her. Uncle Gilbert waxed wroih. " After the severe lesson you bave had, Doshia, of the evils of foreign intercourse —;t is of no uso frowning and shaking your head, Mr-ggie," he said to my moth¬ er, " I will rovorct to it.     Do you wish your daughter to follow in the footsteps of uer cousin YioUite^   n^ yon wish—" Mj aunt burst into aioh a passion of tears, then uncle Gilbert-.vas silenced, .and even slightly ashamed.
In our carefully swept and garnished household there is a blue chamber.   Tha door is rarely opened.   My uncle is inva¬ riably tho porter on these occasions, k    I have a fai
tho bourgeois. Was thero any difference in the color? N'est ce pas qu'il-elait par" faitement do la memo manu 2" sho snarled triumphantly. When excited her eyes flashed, foam flew from her lips, and sbe purred like a vicious old cat. My aunt had a perfect horror of this woman. She had been a widow many years, and had lost all her children with the exception of har pctili: lieniiein, the miserable dwarf, who was the daily recipient of pleasant tokensof her mother's sweet temper. Of Monsier Analole Madame, rarely spoke; but from tbe liltle she said, I should say their domeatio atmosphere had been very murky. Monsieur was safe from her ven¬ geance" now; lucky man ! so she consoled herself with bitter vituperations against the sex in general. " Take my advice, mademoiselle," she said lo ma one day. "Do not marry. All men are liars. We give them our young love, healthy, vigor¬ ous, strong; they give us—what?—A rick¬ ety, puny liking, a cretin, the spawn of idleness and vanity. We nurse this feeble creature; we feed it with soft words and tender kisses. If we coax one sentient gleam from cettc miserable petite. Dieu ! are we not content ? Our puny nursling dies in our arms. We weep, we bemoan ; they who are the most imbecile wiil try to animate the loathsome dead thing, will seek to galvanize it into convulsive twitoh- ings; "tja'elles sont sagis, ces femmessla." .^fll petite tkrnicre was I think the most light-hearted creature I have ever met.— Cruelly cursed hy nature, snubbed and savagely snarled at by her mother, she yet danced through life in the merriest manner possible, she took intense inter¬ eit in all the details of the toilet, and was perpetually remodelling the fashion of her dre.=5eB.
There w.a5 another inmate of lhe de¬ moiselle's establishment who was an ob¬ ject of intense interest to the amiable Josephine, a little sickly black-eyed girl, the only child of the Cjunt and Countess St. Pierre. It was hya mere accident Clemence was first placed under Madem oiselle Josephine's care; but her health had so much improved her mother did not dare remove her. My aunt end the child iTcre great friends; they sat togeth¬ er in the garden for hours. The bonne, round eyes, and grinning with her wide mouth, al my aunt's quaint French. La Comtesse was passionatsly atlached to her child; she had stayed for weeks together at fhe demoiselle's establisbnent—a great condescension, Josephine said. She was coming again shortly ; her husband was averse lo it, but had yielded to her wish¬ es. He was a proud, haughty man de¬ voted to his beautiful wife, but totally indiffcrant to his little girl, who, however much resembled him. Mademoiselle was eloquent in praise of tho beauty of the Comtesse, and even Madame Anatole, who detested aristocrats, admitled loveliness- "You have nothing equal to it in Eag¬ land," she said.
Mademoiselle .fosephine came to me one day in a state of great excitement.— The countess was coming ; she would be here directly; she would appear ac din¬ ner ! Poor Mademoiselle was quite hot and red; she had made some cbange in her cuisine when this haughty lady had graced her table before. Mademoiselle was rather loo fond of serving us with homely dishes. There was one, I remem¬ ber, we had sometimes—&/oi du cochen— I shuddered to thiok it might be one of the plates of lo day.
It is rarely any one comes to the stand¬ ard of highly wrought expectation. The countess fair surpassed mine. The was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. Tall and magnificently formed, fair as alabaster, straight Grecian features, violet eyes, superbly lashed luxuriant rich brown hair—from the crown of her head to the aole of her foot, she was perfect.—' .A.unt Theodosia is such an admirer of beauty, she was quite mesmerized by the lovely creature.
Monsieur, her husband, escorted her, and remained some little time in the sa¬ loon.   He waa the best looking French¬ man 1 had yet seen;  taller and better built than ordinary Mossoo.   His features were straight, and though his hair was hideously cropped,  the head ilself was well poised. He was haughtily polite, but his politeness evidently  sprang from aense of what was due from himself rather than wbat was^due to us. Hewas devoted to his wife, but he scarcely looked at his lit. tie girl.   The poor ohild clung to her mother, whosmothered her with caresses It was all very fine dining every day with a live countess.   The dinners were better, but  I must confess those social galherings were infinitely more pleasant before the advent of this noble lady.— The light merry chat of the amiable de" moiselles was hushed.   Madame;Archam- baud was dumb.   Madame Anatole, with true republican spirit, asserted her inde- pendance and equality by overhearing in¬ solence.    The   countess   was   haughtily reserved : we rarely saw her excepting at dinner.   She passed the mornings in her own room, wiih her child.   Sho unbent tho moit with my aunt.   She was, per hap3,fgrateful for the dear soul's kindness to the little Clemence.   She listened pa¬ tiently   as   my   poor   aunt   floundered amongst the French idioms.   Sho occa¬ sionally lifted her out of the slough.   The count was the mostattentivoof hnsb.tnds. Every day he called lo see his wife    He brought her beautiful hoquets; ho loaded her with presents; he was devoted as the callowcst of boy lovers.   1 drew Madame Anatolo's attention lo this fact.   I cited it in refutation ofher tirades on the flick- leness of men.   The count must have been married some years.   The countess was secure of his affection, I sai^.
".Secure," cried this old infidel, "as the shifting sand, as the treacherous waves. She sleeps in the paradise of fools. Josephine was secure of Napoleon! VVhen
wnnr rrtwnl nrM.lroi.'a t-l-      - —
I was playing picquet with the Eed Ee¬ publican. I
The bonne entered with a note for Mad¬ emoiselle Josephine. Before she had fin¬ ished reading it she had exhausted almost every interjection in the French language. Her faoe was a ghastly lyellow. She con. eluded with an emphatic, " Mon Dieu I mais c'est impossible I" She handed the note to her sister—its effect on the de¬ moiselles with the solide^ coiffure waa equal¬ ly powerful. Our curiosity was greatly excited, French women are not remarka¬ ble for reticence. We were immediately taken into Mademoiselle's confidence.
The note was writtenjin a bitterly iron¬ ical style. Was virtuiiius mademoiselle acquainted with the antecedents ofall the ladies she received into her establishment? Above all, did she knon- anything of the past life of the beautiful oomtesse?— Mademoiselle Coryphee had much pleas ure informing her of a few particulars.— In the first place, the soi-distant comte held a higher title; siscondly, madame was not his wifo—he wj:s already married
Mademoiselle C was in a situation to
furnish Mademoiselle .1; with convino.
ing proofs of the truth of her assertion.
I never heard such a noise aa followed the reading of tha noto. A howl of tri. umph from Madame Anatole, (I knew ehe always hated the beautiful aristocrat) waa followed by a shrill deuliand that Madame oisellle should insist on the immediate departure of cette femme in/ame and her miserable petite. To this there was not a dissenting voice; eyen the squinting
Josephine!   This of her great  tri-
dwarf protested she could not breathe the atmosphere polluted by the presence of this creature abominable.
Poor Mademoiselle countess had been one: umphs. She had hope^d permanently to retain the little Clemence- All her air- built castles were desuoyed. She was, too, ofa kind, womanly nature—the task imposed was most repugnant to hor. I dreaded the coming meeting. 1 cannot hear to seeahaughty ci^cature humiliated. I pity the poor epaniell crouching under the lash, but it is more than pity I feel lo see the leopardess chained oomp.elled lo endure the degradatioti of blows.
Like a coward, I wss about to shrink quietly from the room I had not time.— My aunt, the countess, and tho count en¬ tered at that moment There are some scenes which photogriJph thematlvas on the brain- Tbat group 1 shall never for¬ get. The countess lo iked superb, her natural loveliness enhanced by a perfect toilette, she wore a driss of fleecy black tulle, which admirably contrasted with the milky whiteness of her complexion. Monsieur was haughty polite, as usual,— Ue addressed a few ciV|il words to Made¬ moiselle Josephine, lile feared the opera would not conclude before midnight.— " Would Mademoi3eIiei"he inquired, with a smile, "object to receive his wife into her well-ordered establishment at so late an hour ?"
There was a dead silence.
Fierce looks from the Ead Eepublican and tho dwarf, her daughter, impelled poor Josephine to the 'performance ofher unwelcome task.
She commenced wi apology. She had reel communication ; it ha' Madame la Comtesse.
rightly interpreted the words^ which came from that burning mass.      'r
It was not a time for covering deform¬ ity with conventional, garments—not a time for whitened s^^torea and gilded lies. Death in its worip&rm was hover¬ ing over thia beautiful sinner. Worldly shame was absorbed iii overwhelming pity. I said she was indiifd my cousin.— There was a noise of angry voices below. Madame went to inquire the oause of this

It was then that the wrath burst open, and a torrent on thecrimii found ohoice epithet! with which to de¬ luge the lovely sinne -. She stood like a beautiful wild anima brought suddenly to bay. The insulU of tho vixenish French women stung her into action.— She turned defiantly t< warda them. They continued wildly to declaim.
"Silence, canaille l'l thundered Monsi¬ eur. "Courage ma bicn cherie. You have too long honored such miserable bourgeoises with yout lovely presence.— Aliens! We will leava this detestable hole at once."
With an air ot conilemptnous insouci¬

from bis case, and
lit the weed in the sa'cred saloon.
Madame Anatole's rage then knew no bounds. She made aii though she would rush upon the aristoclrats, and rend them with her hands-   I was sick and faint.—

And that horrid old woman Madame Anatole has woke up the little Clemence to tell her that her mother is a bad woman, and has been burnt for her wickedness I"
Sueh a statement would have fired an angel, I got up at once. Passion gave me strength. 1 went first to Mademois¬ elle Josephine. She was not difficult to manage. It was easy to uee she was only the unwilling agent of others. " Madame Anatole," she murmured. "Leave her to me." I eaid. My energy oarried all before ine. I threw myself upon the Eed Eepublican. I did not think my French would have saved so well. I lashed her savagely with my tongue. Evary word must have left a mark. The old woman was dumq from suppressed rage. I did not wait until she had regained her speech —I did not wait for her ill-omened purr. My next thought was the little Clemence. The poor ohild was in agony of grief. She cried perpetually for her mamma, her beautiful mamma. I took her in my arms. I comforted her as best I could. I told her she should see her mamma. I ex¬ hausted all my art to soothe her. She became more oalm, and thsn I le.'t her with her bonnet. I wont to the sick room. I dreaded the sight I muits-ie. Myaunt met met meat the door; sha looked ten yeais older. Tho room was darkened— not so dark but that I saw, extended on the bad, the total wreck of wh-at an hour ago was beautiful! The doctor was there; hecouldgive no hope.- "She will not suffer long," he said.—Monsieur stood by her bed. The first agony of his grief was over. He appeared to me a little loo eagerly anxious about his own burnt hands, It was evident he could not as¬ sociate that blistered, red, disfigured faca with the lovely bsing he had so wildly worshipped. There was almost a look of disguist in his eyes when they were turn¬ ed towards the sufferer. I saw it, and I despised him for it. Did she see it too 1 God help her! I think she did. She was quito calm. She wished to bo clone with .aunt Theodosia, and then to see her child. Monsieur got up a tableau at this. —"Did his beloved angel wish him to leave her?" &b., &3 , but I saw he was by no means sorry to go. Honest Felix ivas worlli a million such as he.
She died the nexlh day. My aunl was with her to the last. She closed those poor eyes; sho poured balm into that fleeting soul.
Enclosed ina magnificent coflin, the body was removed by Monsieur's ordera to his hotel. We left the house an hour afterwards; il was impossible to remaiu nnder the sama roof with Madame Ana- tola we took the liltle Clemence and her bonno with us. Mademoiselle Josephine offered no opposition ; she rejoiced at our departure.   If was an e.todus of lepei-s.
Kind Felix had engaged apartments for us in a street near the Madeleine— Thither was removed. My anntand the child were so prostrated by their grief it required all my efforts to sustain them.^ After the funeral my aunt wrote to Mon¬ sieur, appointed a meeting. lie oame clad in the severest sables, his features arranged to suit the dress. Ue was act¬ ing the role of the disconsolate lover.— He made the most of his burnt hands; they were but slightly injured, but he oarried one in a sling. I explained to liim my aunt's wishes with regard to Clemence he eagerly covered with her proposal lo adopt the ohild. He made some liberal offers about money, but these were stern¬ ly refused. Clemence was to go with ua to England. My aunt would provide for ber. She was never to known the secret of her mothers's 3h.ame. Monsieur wine ed a little at this, but he soon rallied.
"Did hewish to see his child?" I ask. ed. "There was no occasion," he said; "it would be better not." With all his hypocrisy he did not attempt to play the part of the fond father. Ue was a con¬ temptible creature, this count—a miser¬ able counterfeit-rage aud sawdust trick¬ ed out with fair seemings. We never saw him again.
We left Franca as soon as my aunt and the child were fit to travel. We return¬ ed to Eagland via Boulogne, The steam er was crowded with Englishmen; il refreshed me to see the fine figures, well- poised heads, and straight features of my tawny-bearded countrymen. Little Clemence flourishes in the pure air of North Loomshire. She is the pet of our hou.sehold. Uncle Gilbert and Aunt think a great deal, no doubt, but they say nothing. They dare not allude to the chamber—the door is hermetically closed. The family secret sleeps beneath a costly mausoleum across the channel.
and dustpan, is exercised as an intruder by the indignant inmate.
"Go!" I exclaimed, interrupting ber> and rising from my chair as I spoke.
She retreated precipitately, slamming the door behind her, as she disappeared; I stepped to the door, turned the key in the look, and returned to my desk. "Now then," I aaid to myaelf, " I think that matter is satisfactorily settled. How cu¬ rious it is," I continued, " tbat all woiiien folks take such pleaaure in sweeping.— Now, if there be one thing I dislike more than another, it is a broom. Brooms were invented by.the evil one to try the pa. tience of mankind." Then I returned to my writing.
Before five minutes elapsed, a knock at the door disturbed me. ,
" Who is there ?" I asked.
" Meself, it is," said the original Biddy •
" What do you want?" I inquired.
" The mistress bids me oome baok and sweep tho room."
" It can't be done," I replied; go away."
" Will ye let me in, sir?" she asked.
" No," I answered.
"Then I'll tell the mistress," she said.
For a few minutes I enjoyed compara¬ tive quiet. Only my liltle boy, taking advantage of the maid having left the dustpan by my door, converted it tem¬ porarily into a drum, using the handle of the feather duster as a drumstick, and getting astride the broom, was riding up and down the hall. Going to the door, told him he might lake them all into the yard and play wilb them there. Then I resumed my writing, congratulating my¬ self upon haviog disposed of the servant, the boy, and the sweeping utensils. I had written six lines, perhaps, when a gentle tapping at my door disturbed mt. I knew it was my wife, so I opened it and admit¬ ted her. She walked in with rather a do¬ mestic air, and took a seat on the lounge, without speaking.
" Wall, my dear." I said, " what is it ?"
" That is exactly what I came here to have answered," sha replied.
"Then you'll hove to inquire of Bii num," I said, " for I can't tell."
"Oh, it's no.joking matter, sir, I can assure you," she continued. How doyou suppose that I can keep my house in cleanliness and order, if the servants are not allowed to sweep and tlust when I tell them to?"
"I'm sure I don't know," I replied, "but Ihen, I don't see the necessity cf one's coming in here while I am writing, and raising suoh a dust as she necessarily must. Why she can't sweep some other room just ai well as this, I confess puzzles me. The fact is, this room doesn't require sweeping. It isn't more than two or three weeks ago, since I saw some iine sweeping it."
"Two or three weeks!" echoed my wife; " if it had not been swejit nntil then, I think you would find a cart-load of dirt in it. It was thoroughly swept on Wednesday, and now Friday is my regular day for sweeping and cleaning through¬ out llio house. So, if you will just let the servant come in here and sweep, I wlllbe raucli obliged to you."
"I ut, actually, I don't think the room rcqu res it," I said ; " besides, it beiag a rainy day, I had decided .to remain at home and write. It will be very annoy¬ ing for me to stop at this moment; and, indeed, I won't do it." And I resolutely took up my pen and resumed writing.
My wife answered not a word, but sat silent for at least five minutes. I did not once look up from 'my paper, although I knew her eyes were upon me, and that she was regarding ma attentively. It is very trying to a sensitivo man like myself to be made the target ot a woman's eyes for many minutes at a time. Atlast, throwing down my pen, I exclaimed, " I wish you would go away and leave me to my writing. Tuis is my room, and I don't want it to be swept. It seems to me, Ihat sweeping was done for no other purpose than lo raise a dust—so that one can go about with a feather brush and a dusting cloth, and scatter the dust which has set
tied on the furniture over the floor again.
What possible good is accomplished there¬ by, I don't see."
"The obtuseness of seme persons," she answered, maliciously, "often  prevents
their seeing good in anything."
" Indeed !"'  was all I vouchsafed to re-
Ply.
At this moment Biddy made her ap. pearance, complaining that some one had carried off her broom and dust pan, and she could not find them. My wife regard- ded roe attentively.
Great God! The r'jom was dim with smoke. The countess was a sheet of fiame! JThe unhappy man, in his excitement, had thrown the lighted paper with which he had kindled his oigaf, all ablaze upon her tiresa,. j
All that I have detailed occurred so rap idly, and I had been so interested in watching the principal actors in thescene- I had not observed my aunt.
God grant t neveri again see such dumb despair, such concentrated misery, as met my eyes when I looked at her in this mo¬ ment of horror.

"It is very singular," ahe continued, "what has become of them."
I looked out of the window, and asked my wife what the noise waa that cime up from the rd
" Well, if that was not too bad," she said; "there is that dear little boy out in the ra=n without any cap on, nnd with the dust pan and broom. What a careless girl you are to have left them lying where the little fellow could get them, — Go, quickly, and bring in the child. After all, iiis your fault," she added, turning to me, "ifyou had allowed her to attend to her sweeping here as usual, thi' -.vould not have happened. Now, be ha< proba¬ bly taken a terrible cold, and will have the croup and die, for ought I know."
Here the lad made his appearance, struggling in Bridget's arms. He was thoroughly wet, and had apparently been thrown from bis horse, for he was covered with muiL from head to feet.
"Look at himl" exclaimed-my  wife, "can he ever be got clean ?" "He's in a pickle," I said " Pa said I might go out,  and take the broom, too," said young hopeful. I frowned at the rascal. "Is that true?" my wife asked. "Certainly it is," I said. "And now just see," I continued,  " how wrong it was in you to send Bridget to sweep  my room, when you knew I was engaged in writing. It will be all owing to your ill manage¬ ment ot household affairs, if that boy be sick and die.   And.it this should be the sad result, how you ever can forgive your¬ self, I do not know."
"But, my dear," she said, looking im. ploringly into my face, "I didn't send him into the yard."
"I can'thelp that," I replied, "the fault ia yours, just the same.   It all comes from
die?" and she clasped the lad, muddled though he was, within her arma.
" I oannot tell," I replied, " how five mi¬ nutes' exposure to a warm spring rain may affect him; but at all events," I added smiling at her terror, " the fault will rest at your door."
" Ah 11 see how it is," said my wife, her oonfidenoe somewhat restored; " it ia the old story enacted in the Garden of E-len by our first parents—the mon put¬ ting the blame on the woman."
"My dear," I said, "as it has ceased raining, " I think I will take a walk, and while I am absent, you can let Bridget sweep and dust my room; but," I added, as I took up my hat and coat, " if there be one thing I dislike more than another it is a Friday's cleaning."
A  WIFE   WASTI.NG   3I0XEY.
Mrs. Gray one morning asks her hus¬ band for money, The children's dresses and the large gas bill account for the de¬ mand, but the irritable husband is dis¬ posed to find fault. " I believe," he says, " the servants burn gas all night; and if they do, it is your fault."
" I do not think, my dear, that the ser¬ vants are at all wasteful of it."
" Then there js something the matter with the confounded metre," I'said.— " Can't the children get at it, and set the register ahead in some way ?''
My wife laughed.
"Oh, youneedn'tlaugh," I continued; " it's a probable thing, as they are given to all kinds of mischief. I'll go directly down to lbe company's oflice, and enter a complaint about the metre." And I put on my hat resolutely, and opend the door to depart.
" But you are not going without leaving me some money, I hope," she said,
"There it is again!" I exolaimed; " money! money I it is always money with you women. Well, how much do you waut? Come, dou't keep me standing here forever, when you know I am in a hurry,"
"Can you spare me twenty dollars?" she aaked.
"No!" I answered.
"Fifteen then?" she suggested.   '
" Scarcely," I answered; " hut there are twelve; and now don't ask me for m:)ney again in a week."
" But what shall I do abont the child¬ ren's spring clothing?" she inquired; " after paying the gas'bill,' I shall nol have any great amount left."
" I don't know, nor I don't care what you you'll do," IiepUed.   "The fact is the ohildren are well enough dressed.    I don't approve ot arraylag them in velvet and laces."
"Fifteen or twenty dollars," she an¬ swered, smiling, " would scarcely be suffi¬ cient for the purchase of any quantity oi velvets and laces. No! all that I ivant is to have the children appear clean and re¬ epectable. I cm't abide to see them in soiled and faded olothes."
"But lliey look well enough to me," I said.    "I   don't   see why their presen clothes are not good enough for them to play around in, as they do; nor why it's necessary to buy them anything new."
" Ifyou had lo attend to  the mending
of their clothes, as I do, you wouldn't ask
me why I wanted to get them new ones.''
" Well, well," I said,  " thera are ten
dollars more; but don't, for goodness sake
ask me for money again un til"	
"Until," interrupted my wife, smiling, "I want a new bonnet—which will be next week."
"My dear," I ssid, impressively, " don't speak lome of bonnets. It thero be one thing I dislike more than anolher, it is to hear ahout a new bonnet."
But I am very economical as regards bonnets, you know, my dear," she said. " I only have four a year, whereas most ladies have a dozen."
" A dozen !'' I exclaimed, astonished, "why that is equal to one a month. It is prepostorous. Does your milliner have many such customers ?"
"Oh, yes! Miss Modisto aisures me that there are some of her purchasers who get a new bonnet every month."
" I am thankful my dear-" I said, " that you aro not one; but, it appears to me, that four hats h year are more than you can afford to have, especially in such hard times Its these are, when every one should study economy. Don't you think you can get along with lwo a year?"
"I really don't see how it would be pos¬ sible," she replied ; "because every three mouths the fashions change, and I would not, you knoiv, like to be out of the fash¬ ion."
"Well, the faot is, my dear," I replied, "that we must economize somewhere; and I think we oan bast di-ipense with new bonnets. .As for being in Ihe fashion, it is all nonsense. If there ba o.i-i thing I dislil^e more than another, itii seeing you forever studying a fashion plate."
" I am not forever studying a fashion plate," my wife answered, with sjiirit; "it is rarely, indeed, that I sea one. If you want to economize, why don't yuU stop smoking, and leave off drinking wine ? You man are always accusing us of being extravagant, and spending our time be¬ fore a mirror; but in my opinion, and in that ofall the thinking portion ofmy sex, too, we are seldom as extravagant or as vain as your sex. You'll spend almost as much for one dinner, down-town, as would .suffice lo feed your whole family well for a week. As for vanity, I have never seen the greatest coquette stand longer before a mirror than I have you when engaged tying an elaborate knot in your cravat." Leaving this pretty quarrel as it stands —though the intelligent reader will, of course surmise that the lady ultimate¬ ly bas her own way—we close our extracts from Birry Gray's charming book with this little sketch of

I stay out late at night without fear of rebuke. I lie abed of mornings, and no one insists on my getting up. My friends pass tho evening with me, and there be none who tell me the next day that the window curtains are filled with tobacco smoke, and the parlor has the fragrance of a bar¬ room. If two or three friends come homo to dine with me, the cook never asks why I brought them, nor complains of a hoad. ache. What is mere, she does not insist upon having a new silk drees every week, nor burst into tears if I ulter crut;o nnd naughty words. The fact i.i, if there bo one thing I like more than anoth'-r, it is to have my wife often visit her nr.othor.'j
Mrs. Jinks says when she v-js in love, she felt aa if she wos in i-. tunnel with a traiLi of cars coming I>:.in ways.
