dred a year, it was that nsefnl but sometimes very ironble.aome appendage, a servant ofall work. Tbe hoa.«;e they moved into was cli se to that of ber sister, Mrs. Lant-e; and for Bnme time after taking possession of it, Mrs. Courten.iy chiefly spent her days in tears, and Captain Courtenay in sitting over the fire, witb a pipe and a newspaper.
The poor Captaiu war really to he pitied. He had tbe misfortune to he an idle man, a man of no profe.^sion or occupation ; and be bad been obUg*'d to give up bis comfortable (and expensive) club, his opera, and bis kid gloves. All bis old habits, confirmed and strong, were rudely brokeu throngb, and in¬ stead of playing the dandy abroad, he gave way to the sulks at home.
It was not altogelher a ¦le.-'irable home, for Mrs. Conrtenay had no idea of management: the servants, scenling wbat sort of a mistress tbey had, showed le^ii, and tha young chil¬ dren tore abont the house uncontrolled, de¬ stroying the peace of every room, and fre¬ quently coming to grief aud soreams. As to saving iu tbe domestic details of housekeep¬ ing, Mrs. Conrtenay had not the faintest con¬ ception how to begin, and tbe house remain¬ ed a perpetual scene of worry and confusion. One evening Mr. and Mrs. Lance were sit¬ ting together after dinuer in tbeir comfortable dining-room, in their pleasant house. Not that tbeir bouse was fine or large, but pleas¬ ant aud comfortable it certainly was, for tbere were no storms in it, wbether from pa- rei^s. Servants or children, bnt there was well ordered regularity. Tlieirchildren— hey had three—wnre with them now ; but they were uot trained to giva way to w.tyward hu- • roor3. Mr. Lance was a barrister, but brief¬ less, and be ha.i preferred accepting th« sec¬ retaryship of a public iiistiiniiou, at X300 a year, to starving on expectation, in a wi^and j gown. "Whilst tbey were talking, Mrs. Cour¬ tenay was shown in, and down sbe immedi¬ ately sat upon a chair and burst iuto tears.— Mr. aud Mrs. Lance approached her in sur¬ prise and commiseration; and little Annie, the eldest child, was so aghast at tho sight, that she backed against lbe wall, in donbt 'nhelhershe ^hould not set np a cry too.
" I am tired and worried out of my life, Annie," bepau Mrs. Courtenay to her sister. "All my efiiirls to beagood managerturnout wrong. I tboupht 1 would try and do the dinner to-day, fur tbat servant of mine is so in^nlenl and extravagant; I said there was enor.f.h mnitoD in the houbo for a dinner,
made into a haricot "
" Do you mean an.Irish stew ?" interrupt¬ ed Mrs. Lance.
"That's what vulgar people call it, Anni-j. Busan drew down tbe corners of her mouth, and said not if she made it; so the remark aettled me; and I said I would do it myself. And I thought 1 did do it beantifnlly," added the unhappy lady, with a choking sob be¬ tween every other word, "and wbeu it came to be turned out it was all burnt black to the saucepan, and smelt like a dozen blankets on fire."
" What a pity '." exclaimed Mrs. Lance. " So tbere was no dinner for any of us, and tbe captidn went out, swearing, with a hang that shook the ceilings, to get some where he coald. Bo pive me a few lessons, Annie, and tell me how you manage—though I had u ed tolaugb at ynnr ways. I'm afraid he'll swear at me next, and 1 should never survive tbat," Mr. Lance rose from his ohair and smiled. " It will all come right, Mrs. Courteuay, if yon only have a little perse veran t;e. Annie was a good manager from the first, but she is better now. And while you take your first lesson, I will go to my friend Pesborongh. I was telling Annie, when you oame in, that I owed bim a viait."
"I could nnt swallow a scrap of anything if you paid me, I'm too miserable," sobbed Mrs. Courtenay, interrupting her sister's hos¬ pitable iutentions. "I will drink a cup of tea ft ben you take yours."
" Yon shall bave it directly, Angusta. The servants must have finished dinner by now, and tbecbildreu shall go back to thenursery." . "Tell me exactly how you manage through¬ out the day, Annie," said Mrs. Conrtenay, ¦when they were alone " I will try, in my own bouse to imitate it."
"I manage much as 1 used to do in my early married days, only there is more to do," said Mrs. Lance.    " Mary gets up at six—"
"And my beauty crawls down staira at eight," interrupted Mrs. Courtenay, in atone of wrath, "and tbe more I talk to her the longer she lies; and the nurse is worse."

" I'm sure I have heard you talk of having aoup often enongh," angrily returned Mrs. Conrtenay.
"Yes: soup that costs nothing; or next to nothing."

"And you never have but ouo dinner.— Aunt Clem went on so to me once, in the otber house,: bout my having two dinners, one forourselves aud another for the servants. She called it waste."
" It ia so," answered Mrs. Lance; '* both of time and provisions. Tha children have theirs in tha middle of tbe day, thay are too youug to wait, bnt that is not mnch trouble. A rice-pudding, perhaps, and a bit of steak, or two matton chops, the baby does not eat meat yet."
"But my servants grumble my life out when I order only one dinner; it was my aaying they must wait to-day, and dine aflar US, that put Susan out about the meat.'*
 ' I do not wouder at it with suoh irregular¬ ity, which to them must appear like caprice, how cau you expect cheerful obedience?— Let them uuderstaud, onoe for all, that they dine after you, and if they persist in being discontented, tbe beat plau will be to change-"' "Cbange! I am always changing: yoa know I am, Anuie. Aud then the taking out tbe children—ob, the worry it is! Of course I am uot going oat streaming with them, and Susan cau't go and leave the work, so I hire a girl, the green grocer's daughter, and give her sixpence a time, but the nurse doea not choose to approve of it, and pays she is more plague than help."
*' Ab, we aro well off" in tbat respect," said Mrs. Lance, with animation. " We have no rigbt tothe square, not absolutely living in it, but somehow we are popnlar in the neigh- bnrbood, and bave had a key given to ua.— It is so useful; the uurse goes there with all threa children, aud can sit down with the ba¬ by whilst Annie and the boy run about."
"All things seem to turn up well for you," i rejoiued Mrs.  Conrtenay, querulonsly; "I'm sure they don't for most people.    I  wish I [ oould get a key to the sqnare."
"I thiuk that when people set their faees resolutely to do their duty and strive to make the best of it, humbly trusting to be helped iu it, tbat many things do turn up for tbem qnite wonderfully," answered Mrs. Lance, gently.
'•Aunie! tbe idea ofyour mixiugup.ro- ligious notions with tho petty concerns of life !   It is quite methodistical."
"Rather high ohuroh, of the two, I fanoy," responded Annie, good humoredly, "But rely upon it, Augusta that until people have learnt to remember that God's eye is upon them iu all the trifles of daily life, they have not learnt how to live."
"You harp, too, upou 'system' and 'regu¬ larity.' I know I shall never learn to practice either."
"But you mnst; for the comfort of a family mainly depends upon that. At five, wbile we dine, the children take their tea in the nnrsery, aud wben we have finished, they come to us while the servants dine. By seven, tbe children are in bed."
"And then you sit stitching away here all the evening!" said Mrs. Courtenay.
"Very often I do, and Geolfry reads to me;
the newspaper, or our periodicals.  And nurse
does ber part to the stitching in the nnrsery."
"Such a humdrum, Darby  and Joan sort
of life."
"We would not change it for yours, Angus- ! ta," laughed Annie. "But I do not work al- [ ways: sometimes I read, or wo play at ohesa, or cribbage, and now aud tben a friend dropa in, or we drop into a friend's. Believe me, we are thoroughly happy and contented. I told mamma I kuew we could manage well on three hundred a year, and we have dono so, aud are fully satisfied. All of you. except papa, have spoken scornfully of my lowering myself to two servants, andone of those a nurse, but I have more regularity and com¬ fort in my house than you had with your four. No one who comes bere sees them otherwise tbau perfectly neat and tidy; for both the servants understand tbat were they to appear otherwise tbey must look out for fr«sh situatious." "Do your servants have meat at luncheon?'' "Never. Tbey have it at one meal ouly— dinner. They eat'.^as much as they pleaae, then. Believe me Augusta, we have no atiuting in necessaries, though we oannot afi'ord luxuries."
"You ore not too luxurious iu dresa, that's certaiu," said Mrs. Courtenay, looking at her sister's dressja ruby merino: "and yet it really
thought at first she said it out of delicacy, to prevent my goiug to the espouse of fish for her, but I believed afterwards that she really did prefer it. It was a treat to her, for she uever got it In England."
"What soup is itf'
" The French call it sonpe maigre. Ou fast days they put a piece of butter into a sauce. pan, on otber days a piece of dripping, let it melt, and put iuto it a quautttyof vegetables ready cat in small pieces, carrota, turnips, leeks, and potatoes. They stir all these about over tbe fire till tbey are well saturated with the dripping or hutter, but uot to brown tbem, theu fill up tbe aaucapau with water and let it boil for two or three hours, adding pepper and salt to tastA, You oannot think what a nice soup it makes."

'' I um seeing after things from morning till night, I think," retorted Mrs. Courtenay, wbo had not beeu down stairs teu minutes.
"And * Liza.'—what a pronunciation— where do they pick it up f"
" Oh, from the servants," replied Mrs. Courtenay, apathetically. "Eliza herself speaks badly."
"Ica»no(make it out," exclaimed poor Captaiu Conrtenay, in an impassioned but helpless tone; "no other family ^s-ema to have such servants as we g**!. They do nothing; they are troublesome in all ways.
" I am willing to take yonr word for it,"   Look at those two children : the buttons off returned Mrs. Courtenay, with an ungracious   tlieir shoes, their sooks dirty, tbeir pinafores accent.

"Splash of grease !" echoed Mrs. Courie- uay, hastily caating her eyes on her dress,' aod beholding a broad, running slaiu,-— "Tbere? I must have done tbat to day, med¬ dling with that abominable cooking."
'¦You aureiy did not do your cooking in tbat expensive dress!" exclaimed the younger sister.
"What else could I do it in !" fretfully re¬ torted Mra. Courtenay, ''I could not be in a shabby wrapper aud a loose dirty jacket over it at two or three o'clock in the day, when people migtit be calling."
"I would uot he seen in either, at any time^ Augasta. But there's the advautage of having over these domestic jobs early In the day.— You should have a large apron to put ou iu the kitchen, aa I do."
" To save that dreas?" sarcastically asked Augusta Coartenay, who waa in a thorough ill-temper.
"No, this is nol my morning dress," quiet¬ ly returned her aiater.   "That is only alpaca.
in my house," said Annie. " We breakfast I fit eigbt, and I am out of bed befnre seven." i " Wbat in the world do yon get up so soon for ? Yuu, I mean. It is nuuecessary to ri.-e before eeven for an eight o'clock breakfast." " I find it none too early. I like to be neatly dressed ; uot lo como down stairs 'a figure,' as it is called, iu badly-arranged hair, or an untidy, ngly dressiug-gown. Then I spare a few minutes for my private reading, and a minute for the nursery, for I do not choose Anuie to slur over her little prayers to a carMesa nurse. 1 hope you always hear your children theirs, Augusta."
" I bear tbem now and then at nipht, if I have time ; never in a morning; I dou't think they say any. What do prayers matter for anch little children?"
" Tbe impressions made on young children last forever, aud they tend to good or to evil," remarked Annie, in a low voice. "But let me go on. Annie breakfasts with us, the Other two wllh nnrse in the kitchen: they are too yoong for that to hurt them," she added, Jn a meaning tone. "Afterwards, when Geof¬ frey is gouo, I read lo Annie for five minutes orto "

Aunie. " My huaband thinks them ao, and ,_ it is not necessary to proclaim your my ste-j ries of economy over the dinner-table. Both , these soups are very grateful ou a cold win- ' ter's day. Beside," she laughed, "they save ' tbe meal; my servan.s like these soups so much now that they often make their dinner of them, and will put away tho meat untouch¬ ed. Augusta," broke off Mrs. Lance, in a changed tone, "ifyou are to despise every word I say, as I see you do, why come to me for informatiou ?"
" No, I do uot despise yonr words, Annie ; I am obliged to you for being at tho trouble to explain to me; hut I cannot help despi¬ sing the cookery: tbe odd,parsimonious way of concocting soups ont of nothing. It is so ridiculous."
" Had I begun life upou the income yoa did, Augusta, I dare say I should never have learnt these frugal odds and ends of cookery. But I can testify that thoy are very helpful both to comfort and to thepurse: aud if those who enjoy hut my confined income do not understand them, or have them practised in tbeir household, they ought to do so."
" Wbat ought pies to be mada of?'* inter¬ rupted Mrs. Courtenay, remembering auother domestio stumbling-block.
" Many things. Apples, aud rhu barb, aud—"
" Nonsense, Annie. You know I meant the orust."
" No, I did not. I make mine of lard,— Sometimes of beef dripping."
"Beef  drip Well,   what   next?    Yon
most have learut that at the parsonage,"
"No, indeed, the parsonage was not rich enongh to possess dripping. If by good luck it did get any, the children used to scramble for it to put on their bread. Nicely clarified, it makes a very fair crust. But I generally use lard."
"Sasan won't uae anything hnt the beat fresh butter ; anch aquauiity: about a pound aud a half to every pie."
"Make them yourself, Augusta." "I can't; nobody can eat them. I have tried my hand on three or four, and they were as hard as lead, aud could not be cut inlo; you might throw them from here to York, aud they'd uever break. But all these things are nothing to the washiug ; that's dreadful. I have taken to have most of it done at home, for tbe expense wag ruinous, and the servants would uot ao much as rub out a   duster.    Every   Monday   morning

"Youshould have it doue ou Tuesday," I interrupted Aunie, " aud tha clothes ahould | ba soaped aud put iu soak ou Monday morn¬ ing : they come clean with half lhe labor.— Aud every fortnight would be often enoagh." " Tbey seem not to come cleau at alliu our house," groanod Mrs. Courtenay. " I tell Susan she must help tha woman, but I believe all the help ahe givea is gossip. Three days evory week is that washerwoman with us, and she has two shillings a day, aud eals enough to last hor till she comes again the next week ; and the housa is in a stream aud a warfare all three days, for they won't keep the doors shut, and the servants won"t irou or fold, sayiug they have no time, aud tbe things go to the mangling woman in the rough and she folds them and charges double pay, and they come home as wet as water, and He about for days to bs aired. Altogether the clothea don't get put away till tho Monday comea rouud again."
" I could not live in auch a housa I" exclaim¬ ed Anuie. " We wash every other Tuesday, as I tell yon, and by Thursday night tha things are in thedrawers, except what may want meudiufi."
"You muat have Aladdin's lamp. How¬ ever do you mauage il ?"
" Management and system ; with, of course, industry. Uuless you can bring suoh to bear iu your honse, Augusta, it will bo the samo scene of coufusion forever. How uncomfort¬ able it must make your husband,"
" Il makes bim vary cross, if you mean that it is all confusion ; no comfort and no peace,"
Mr^. Courtenay had good cause to aay ao, and lho confusion grew more confused aa time Went on. Sbe made atrenons efforts, to the best of her ability, to remedy it, but succeed she could not. She changed hor servants perpetually, she made sudden plunges, by fits aud starts, iulo tbe arts of cookiog and oontriviug, but tho only resulta wore the spoiling of provisions, the waste of money, short comings, and ill temper on all sides. Her husband took refuge again in his clnb, for society, sheerly driven out of his own housa, which augmented expenaes  greatly.
CHAPTER V. '    Ciiptaia Coortensy sat one summer'a xnom-
cuasing the merits ofa capital ham (actually boiled well, by some mistake) the captain grew pleasant aud talkative.
"We had a snug party at the club last night, and a famous rubber.    I cut in tbree times." "Did you win ?" inquired his wife. " No," said the captaiu,' lugubriously.    " I lost eleven points."   -        _ -      "
"Whieh was eleven shillings, out of your pocket, and we can't afford it. Y'oa ought not to go there ao much."
" Then"you should mako the house habi¬ table." - -     '   ^     -'
" I don't make it unhabitable, Robert: it'a theso wretches of servants."
" U's something," said the captain.   '' By the way," he added,- a reoollectiou coming over him, " Ord has returned, aud was there. , He is coming to dine with us to-d:iy."
" Oh ! How could you ask him, Robert ? Such a fuss aud trouble as it wiU be.''
" He asked himself; said he wanted to see you aud the childreu. Nothing pleases you, Augusta. I go out too much, you aay ; au i I am uot to have a friend here: what am I to do ? Sit iu this room all day aud all night, counting my fingers, whila you storm at the ill-doings in the kiteheu ?"
" If my servants were worth anything I would not miud who came ; but I expect if wo give Harriot two thinga to cooksho'll spoi^ one "
"Ord will take us as he Uuds us. Will yourchlldren he quiet ? Ho knows it is not with us as it used to be, and he is a good fel¬ low. A hit of fish and ajoint; it's all we need have."
" No fish, uo fish," hastily oried Mrs. Courte¬ nay. " Remember that piece of salmon on Sunday: she sent it up iu rags, ou a bare dish, and all tht* scales on. I'll get aome aoup instead."
" Very well. Friday: it'a uot a very good day for choice, but I'll go out and cater for you, as I walk to the club. I am goiug di¬ rectly after breakfast."
Tbe resnlt of the captrin's catering proved to be a piece of meat for soup, some  lamb chops, a couple of fino ducks, green peas, as- | paragus, and yoong potatoes.
" The ducks must be stuffed, Harriet," ob ¦ served Mrs. Courteuay, " aud you must make a nice gravy fur thom."
" The gravy falla from 'em in roasting, don't it ?" was Harriet's response.
" No," wrathfully returned Mrs. Courteuay, "don't you know better than that ? It must he a made gravy, and a very good one."
" That'll make another saucepan on the fire," cried Harriot; "I ftinst have the range out as wide as he'll go. It'll be a bother to get them feathers off the wings."
" What!" uttered Mrs. Courteuay, the re¬ mark causing her to look rouud hastilyat the ducks. Aud thou she saw tbat the inexperi¬ enced captain had not ordered them to be made ready for dressing, hut had brougbt and sent them home just as they were displayed iu the poulterer's shop, part oftheir feathers on, and their heads banging down.
"If ever I saw anythinz so stupid in all my life !" uttered sbe, in her vexation. " And we don't know where tbey were bought, to seud them baok to be done. You must draw aud trusc them, Harriet."
" Never drawed uo animal in my life, aud dou't know how to do it," proudly return¬ ed Harriet. ™
Neither did Mra. Courtenay kuow. And ahe foresaw the day would have aome per¬ plexity. Harriet euggeatod that Mrs. Brown shonld come in, aud her mistress eagerly caught at it: so tho childreu were left to the mercies of the staira, like Mrs. Jellaby'a Peep, wbile Eliza was flying round tba neighbor¬ hood in search of Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown was the weekly washerwoman, aud tho two Horvants were oa very good terms with her.
" Do you know how to prepare ducks for roasting ?" was the auxious question Mra. Coartenay put to her, when she returned witb Eliza.
" Please, mem, I've seen 'em done. I can't say aa I've bad a deal of experieuce in such Hke. But i tha matter of scour ng out of saucepans' and putting on of coal, and get¬ ting ready of plates and dishes, aud aorapiug of potatoes, and ahelling of peas, and 9ll them odd jobs, there ain'^ nobody more quick- nor handier thau me."
" Me and Mra. Brown will manage well be¬ tween us, ma'am," said Harriet. "Dou't yott stop here, please; for yoa'll only pat ua out. Now as I have got her to do the rough part, I be bound I'll do the fine."
Mrs. Coartenay was but too willing to ac¬ cede to thia advice. She hated the kitchen, and waa always aa thankfal to get oat of ft)
ing a uew novel.
Late in the afternoon abe was surprized by II visit from her old maiden annt, Miaa Clem¬ entina Marah, whom she had not seen for twelve mouths, and who had come to pass a few days with Mrs. Lanoo.
" Now you muat stay and dine with me. Aunt Clem. I ahall be glad of yon, for M-ijor Ord ia coming, and yon will make the fourth a*, table."    ¦
" I am agreeable," answered Auut Clem.— "Annie has sent me to ask you to her house to tea. Ynnr iramma is there,.and the doc¬ tor is coming In tha evening. I told Annie perhapa I should have my dinner with you, and bring you iu afterwarda.!'
" Then come up stairs aud take your things off."
"Why, what's this ?" uttered Aunt Clem, as she followed her niece to her bedroom. " Half past four in the day, and your bed not made 1"
" Oh 1 Harriet must have forgotten all abont the up stairs work, and I'me snre I did. It must go now till after dinner. She is a fresh servant, aunt, and she knows little about cooking, and the womau t'lat's helping har aeema to kuow leas. It is of.no uae seek¬ ing for good cooks in serrants'.'of all-work, and they plague one's Hfe ont."
" Y'our nurse might do iCrt-j bedrnoms on busy days," said Aunt Clem,
" She might, but she dnea'ut, She ia out now with the ohildren. We have got a key of tha square, like Annie, and aha takes the whola tribe there, and I get a quiet honr in doors."
Thay were to dine al five, earlv hours suiting Major Ord ; and a few minutes hefore the hour ha and the Captain were heard to outer.
"Where ara they going?" cried Augusta, JU dismay. " Never up staira to wash their hands! My gooduesa me! cau .Robert be ta¬ king him up to that untidy room I"
" I should hope not,'' cried Aunt Clam ; I* it aat my teeth of order on edge. There'a no water, and no clean towels, aud the hot water jug, and razor, aud shaving paper and xoapauds, are ou tbe dresaing table, as your husband must have left them this morning, and the bed's just as yon got out of it, aud the room in a shocking litter altogether.
"They are gone in there! Robert's as aensless as au owl."
•' I think it's somebody else that's sensless Btgnificantly retorted- Aui?l-»^!<:m., "How could he suppose the room haa uot been put to rights ?"
"Hark! he is going for water to tho nur¬ sery : Eliza keeps a pitcher there. What will Major Ord think of it all ?"
"Some water,' roared oxit the oaptain, •'there's none auywbeie."
Mrs. Courtenay rang the bell in a tremor; 1 aud Harriet was heard to go up.
The geutleman came dowu. The major waa a pleasant man, much older than Captain Courtenay. He had plenty to tell Mrs. Courtenay of his sojourn abroad, aud was in the midst of it, wbeu a crash startled them from the kitchen.    Something had gone.
" It sounds like a dish," laughed the cap¬ tain "I hope our dinner, was uot in it."
Half-past five, and no signs of dinner.— " Had you not better step and see what they are about?" cried out old fashioned Aunt Clem to her niece.
'¦ Oh dear no," coldly replied Augurta, too much the fiue lady to do so iu the sight of the major.    "Tbey do uot Uke to be interfered with." , ' A littlo more
grease) bearing oue dish, and Mra. Browu another, and then both returned for the vege- btes. The major gently rubbed hia hands and tba covera were removed.
"Lambchopa, and ducks, major," said Mra. Courtenay.    "We mado no stranger of you."
Which were tbe chops and whieh were the ducks? Tho dish before Mrs. Courlenay ap¬ peared to contain a mass of something aa black aa pilch. It was tha chops, burnt to a cqal. That waa unpardonable of Harriet, for she conld cook chops well. "I fear I cannot recommend the chops,** said the miserable hostess, "hut I think I can the "
Mrs. Courteuay came to a dead standstill. For upon lookiug towarda the ducks sbe waa atraok by tho extraordinary appearance they presented. The captaiu was also gazing upon them witb open mouth, aod Aunt Clem waa putting on hor apectacles fnr a better view.
"What d'ye caH them/"' asked Aunt Clem. "They mnat be some foreign shaped creatures from abroad."
"Harriet, are those the ducks ?" ullared Mrs. Courtenay.
"They were tbe ducks, bnt- ."
"I wiah I had your occupation, Lance ; or aome other,".exclaimed tha captain.
" I wish you had, indeed. An Idle man need to have a pooket full of money."
"But, Lance," mused the captain, "you must have had a atrong will to bear down your old habita when you married Annis."
" Yes: and aa strong a cousnlence," replied Mr. Lance, in a low tone. " We both delib¬ erated well upon what we were going lo do, and we felt that we could go throagh with and succeed.     It   ia difficult   for meu^

"If I don't believe they have been cooked witb their heads oui" uttered Annt Clem.-— "And thoae things, sticking up iu the air, are the beaks, aud those four things are tbeir eyes. Uy gracious, girl I" turning aharnly ronnd to Harriet, "did you ever sea ducks cooked with tbeir heads ou, before ?"
The beads had been elevated, iu an in¬ genious ivay, a quarter of a yard high, by means of upright skewers, with, as Aunt Clem expressed it, the beaks sticking up.— The feot wero sticking np also, and spread out like fans. Harriet mado hor escape from tho room.
"Tbey won't eat the worse for it," aaid
Major Ord, good naturedly; and tbe captaiu
proceeded to carve them in the best manner
he could, considering the array of skewers.
"Stuffing, major?"
"If you ploase. It is caUed a vulgar taste, I believe, but I plead guilty to liking it.."
"So do I air," said Aunt Clem, fixing her spectacles on the major's face, "and I hope I never shall abriuk from avowing it, though tbe world doea seem to be turning topsy¬ turvy, aping after what It oalls refinement. A duck witbout the sage and onions, would be no duck to me." "Nor to me either, ma'm," aaid the major. "What extraordinasy stuffing!" uttered Aunt Clem, who was the first helped.— "What's it mado of?" continued sho sniffing nnd tasting.
"Made of!" he.^jitated ihe unhappy Mra. Courtenay,
"Please, gentlefolks, its chiefly made of suet, with thyme and pa'sley and crambled bread and pepper aud salt," spoke np Mrs. Brown.
"Fortnne be good to ust" uttered Aunt Clem, "why that'a a veal atuifing. Ducks , are stuffed with sage and onions.". !
"Please, gonllefolks, I tolled Harriet I had | seen *em done with saga and intoiis, and sho asked ifl thought I k uowed better tbtin her?" "Will you have any of it, major?" in. quired the captain, very quietly, in his mov- i tificilion- "Well, I dou't know. How will it taslo?"

'• Aud wbat will you do for money when your childreu want educating, Augusta?" asked Mrs. Marah,
" I'm sure I don't know, mamma," waa the helpless answer.
" We are putting by for that," aaid Annie.
" Putting by, out of three hundred a year."
ejaculated Captaiu Coartenay.
"A little," she reph'ed, "And the first year or two of onr marriage we were enabled to put by really a groat deal. Bnt it causea ma mauy an anxious thought,for I know how ex¬ pensive education is."
"We aball weather il Annie," said her husband.
" Yes," aho sighed, "I hopo we shair Aud I believe we shall," she added, more cheerful¬ ly ;" I uever loae my trust, save in some wrong moment of despondency. Augusta has made me look on the dark side of things to¬ night.
" f know we shall," Mr. Lance replied, ga¬ zing at her witb a moaning smile aud a bright eye.

came a timid kuock to the room door. " Come in."
" Please, gentlefolks, the dinners a wait¬ ing."
A cold shiver ran right throngh Mrs. Courteuay, as tho major held out his arm.— For it occurred to her that she had said noth¬ iug to Harriet about who was to wait, and that voice was Mrs. Brown's. Could Uarriet be sending tbat fright of a wonian into the dining-room, and ho slopping, herself, in the kitchen?
It waa so. Screwing herself right behind the door, in her timidity, was humble Mrs. Browu. A pale, half starved womau, w th pale cheeka, aud a black beard. A white ap¬ ron of Harriet's waa tied over the corners of her shawl aud ber patched gown, and « calico cap ou her head, with a wide spreading calico border, tbat flew up as she moved. On the table, wbere the soup ought to havo beeu, was a largo jlated dish cover, completely covering wbat might be underneath, aud rest¬ ing on tho tablo-o ot>i.
The captaiu was speechles.^. Ila looked at airs. Brown, he looked at th,-^ 0T^«r, and he looked at hia wife, & wonld have been thank¬ ful uot to look anywhere, but to sink through the floor or escape np the chimney.* But they took their seats, Mrs. Brown drew up, aud Auut Clem volunteered grace, during the captain's maze.
"Please, air, am 1 to take off the kiver?"     i " Wbat ia the meaning of this?" ejaculated the captain, unable to conta,in himaelf any longer.
He probably me.ant Mrs, Brown, bhe thought otherwise. She lifted the "kiver," and tliaclosed a pio-diah containing the soup* "Please, gentlefolks, wa had a misfortin aud broke the tureen: but it'.s only iu three piecea, and can be rivatod."
"Where's Harriet?" fiercely demanded Captain Conrtenay.
"Please, sir, she's in the kitchen." "Go dowu tbere, aud send ber up." Mrs. Brown weut down: bot Mr.s. Brown came up again.
" Ploase, genllefolki>, Harriot haven't a cleaned of herself, and she's rather black.— Please, as soon as she have dished up ber ducks aud chops, she fir^Vrlr'H-wash her hands and face, and come."
Poor Mrs. Courtenay's faco wauted wash¬ ing—washing with some cooling lotion, to allay its fever beal. Tiie captain, helpless and crestfallen, served out the soup.
" What soup d'ye call this?" nnceremoul-
ously asked Aunt Clem, at the first spoonful.
"Vermicellisoup,"replied Mrs. Courtenay.
" Are you sure it is uot made of coffee bor-
iles?" returned Aunt Clem.
Whether the soup was mada of water, or grease, or coffee berries, nobody could tell; bul it waa like a mixture ofall tbree.
" If these are not coffee berries, I never saw coffee berries," peraistod Aunt Clem, striking her spoon against sundry hard browu sub¬ stances in her plate.
"They are coffee berries," uttered the per¬ plexed captian.
"Please, gentlefolks, when Harriot was a
that he would ruu away to Africa with morn- ; iug light.
"Oh, Auut Clem I did ever an^'thing go ao unfortunate V burst forth Mrs. Courteuay, in a shower of agoniziug tears, the momeut she j escaped from the diiiiug room. "What is to be dono? What will Major.Ord Uiiiik of mu I as the mistress of such a household—such housekeeping?"
*'Ue will think you are au idiot," was the complimentary reply of Auut Clem. "And so dn J. 1 am going to Mrs. Lauce: it- is late."
"I'll go with you," feverishly uttered An- gusU. "I cannot stay here, and face my husband aud the major at coffee."
" Caution tho kitcbeu first, then, that they don't make tlie coffee of vermicelli," retorted Aunt Clem,
The peaceful homo of her sister Aunie, everything so quiet and orderly, v/s.s like a haveu of rest, after her own, to Mrs. Court¬ enay. Dr. and Mrs. Marsh were tbere, hut Mr. Lance had not returned from towu, to the extreme surprise, if nol alarm, of his wife^ for he was alway.i puuctual. Ue soon c.iiu» in, and Captaiu Courtenay with him. Major Ord having pleaded an evening engagement. " Wecannot go on like this," cried the Cap- tain, suppressing his temper, as he looked al his sobbing wife, who had been detailing her griovancea, " Whe,-e lies the fault, and what is lobe done?"
" I think tho fault lies in Augusta's inca pacily for management," said Dr. Marsh, " aud—"
"Oh, papa," ahe sobbed, "you dou't kuow how I have tried to learu."
"Aud in your beiug unable, both of you, to accommodate yourselves to your reduced income," he added. :'? Angusta, child, you iuterrupted.me.:It Is now throe hundred a year ; bat with nil your dicicomfortyou must ba exceeding it."
.." Four huririred won't cover our expenses thia year,'! answered the captaiu, gloomily. "And what will they be next," choked Augusta, "when tbeie's going to be—I'm afraid—another—baby ?"
An ominous panse ensued : all preseut felt that such pro.specLs wore not bright ones- — Auni Clem broke it ivith a groan
" Oh, of course ; that's sure to be it.   The 'ess tbey are wauted, the more they come," " Courtenay," observed lbe doctor,  "your clnb and your out-door luxuries must be in¬ compatible with your moans."
" I can't live without my club," interrupt¬ ed the captain, iu an earnest accent; ** I must have some refnge from such a bome as mine. And how to spend less in any one point thau we do, Is more than I can tell; or Augusta either, I believe. Lanee—Annie— wity dou't you teach us your secret ?"
"Ah, we began at the right end," laughed Mr, Lance; " wa economised at firat, and il is now pleasant to us. We have had to practice self-denial patiently, to boar aud for¬ bear ; but we bavo evory wished for comfort aud aro happy "
" Aud you seem to live well, and yon some¬ times havu a friend to dine with you, Lance,"

Sketches from my Note-Book.—No. V.
TEACUERS.
Below are collected the principal stalistics that we have collecttrd during llie past ye;ir, referring to the Teachers of thecounty. The table coutaius tbe average qualilicatioos in the art nf Teaching, for each District, it may not be out of place for me to Elate here, what I have ofteu said throngh the county, that I have adopted No. 2 as the IVrmauent Certifi¬ cate mark ; No 3, as niiddliug ; and No. 4 a.s h.id. I have none marked No. 1. As the ;iver.igerf, therefore, approach No. 2, you will know how they approximate the ProfeSaionaJ grade.
ter coauty T In reply, we havo 415 responses; 304 in the affirmative and 115 in the negative. We receivo aconaiderable help from our aiater Chester in some parts of the couuty, and we would have no ohj.ictions to take a fdW more of the right stamp. Other oouuiied have made us valnahlo contrilmtioua, through the Normal School, and we have 3otue aorc of aa idea that we have the host rijjht to thetu nuw. Question 4th. Uow long have you taa-.jht ? To this we have 420 replies—and we ati.l that there are 280 teache s who have been engaged thns for 2 years and 1'85—73 who have labored from 2 to 5 years—21 whose rtervico waa betweeu 5 aud 10, and 44 who liad taught over 10 year.q. The moit noticeable fact in the above is the large proportiou of quite young teachers, and poiuts tmt the ne¬ cessity of traidiug schools where tlte scieuce of teaching may be imparled. In the present case we may regard it as a fruit of the school at Millersville, as a large proportiou of our beginners come from that place.
Question Sth. Do you iuienl to make teach- ; iog a pennanent profes.-isiou ? Wo find on record SOS responses—315 professing sui'h to be their design and S3 professedly aotiiig aa supplies. Some declined answering, and others no doubt, said "yes" witha lueutal reservation, especially among the laiHes.
Quesiion tith. Have you read any profea- .•iioual works? 4i:^ anawereil; aOG atfirma- tively, 107 uegativeJy. When I couiiueuced teaching I had never seeu a book—:*pecially prepared on the aubject of teacliin:;. Nnw it is ralherasnrprise to heareyeu.the (luiubiest teacher avow iguoranee of manuals. W«* es¬ teem the increasing desire for reading among our teachers oneof the brightest promises fur the future. Everywhere when we geta peep intothe room ofthe teacher, we mark the evidence of his progress by the silent com¬ panions that grace his shelves or table, A taste is being cultivaled—a thirst arising which after-life aloue cau satisfy.
Question 7th, Do you approve of tbe "new methods" of teaching ? 417 replied, and wo are glad to find that ao mauy as 408 are In favor of reform. Of course, some of these j wo imaaiue, had imperfect uoti"ns of the sys¬ tem and ground ideas of the method of schotd reform, but theirreply at least evinces no hostility lo it. Only niue declared them¬ selves opposed to the present aud comiug school "millennium," as .some are pleased to term il derisively.
Qaestion OiU. Have yon attended auy County Insiitute during the past year ? To this 414 replied—yeas 171, n:iy5 243. Tho oumber attending is smaller tlian it onght to be by far, Auother year would present a large increase. The Institute held in the win¬ ter of 1S57 was very much ihiuued by the iuclement weather iSc impassable snow-drifts.
Question llth. Doyou belong toany El- ncalioual A?50i;taliou ? 180 replied affirma¬ tively, aud 2:13 negatively, Duriug the last year District Inslilules were generally orga¬ nized and better su-jtained than ever, in riome places they failed and nobody was to be lilatue.I. The necessity of a.Jsoci:tti-.l elf./rt need uot here be pointed out. It is the uharacteri.'itic of onr age and couslitules it an age of progress. Tradesmen of every kiud, farmers, laborers, and urnfe3.-;iopal men have availed themselves itf this power, aud wby should not tlie Teacher?
Question J2(h. Is th- Kihl^ read iu your school.' Tho?e who have n^vyr taught cmld oniy "iechire iutentiou?. 401 re>poiiile.l. By this we learn that iu 291 of our schools we have the Word oi God d.iilir read. In 110 it has not beeu used regularly. In many eases it seems to have been neglected uuiiiteulion- ally—ill others it is purposely exuludeil.
This euds my list of quesliiius and tny sta¬ tistics on this head, unless it should interesl any one to kuow tbat thy whole uumiier of certiGcales issued during the year was 454. Nn record was kept of il.o.-Je that were re¬ jected.
I must not fail lo record the pleasant and friendly reception I met fn»m the Teachers. Some seemed a little sour, hut ouly a few, aud those uotof much accnuut. A few i^eeiu- ed nervous—but a little experiened will cnre that, as far as it need he oured. I wnuM also tiear witness to the hearty aud ready co-np- eratiou of onr Teaclier^j in every gimd work I proposed. A nobler band of men and wtunen uo couuty can Imast of; and often when worn and weary in ray labors, it inspires me with new lifo to hear their hopeful wonl.-*, and seo their burning z-*al iu the cause to which they have devoted their lives. We always leave a Teachers meetiug stronger than tvh*;n wo weut. To many we feel personaliy attached —anil drawn hy the ties of frieudsliip; lo all we feel houud by a cuinmon lahor and :i cum. mou hope.

During my examinations last snmnier, it was my custom to distribute blanks contain¬ ing priuted questions of of a geueral nature- Iu reply to these the followiug faots were com muuicated :
Question 1st. What is your ag^ .' The whole numberof replies elicited was 435.— Of these, 141 were twenty years and under ; 205 were between tweniy and thirty years ; 73 were between thirty and fifty, and sixteen are in tbe service whose years outiiumlwr fifty.
Question 2od.    Were you born in Penusyl
[ vania ? 42ti answers woro returned : by which I learnt that 390 are natives of the State, and ;Jl) have had their birth places in various parts of the world—principally, however in the North. Is there'not cause for gratulatioa inthis significant fact—Ihat Pennsylvania haa now auffioieut intelligence amoug her aona and daughters to train her own childreu? I suppose many will readily call to mind, in contrast with the above, that other fact, that uot many years ago the teaching was in the hands of quite a different claaa. Who shall say no progress Is attained in the Common
|k School cause?
