My Wife's Relations.
••Broiled spring chickens for tea, eh?” said I.
• Ami lobster salad and fried oysters. Upon my
t\,,rd. this looks ns if we were going to have com- '
j. i nv.”
••So we are, my dear,” said my wife, looking a ,
little guilty, as she polished up the surface of the !
j, ; ,_r silver tea-tray with a new cliamoise leather. \
They are all coming to visit me - Unde Silas and j
Aunt Melicent, and the children, and Cousin !
j v ub, and the two Miss Wilmerdings, and my 1
Aunt Louisa, to meet the Rev. Mr. Spark well, |
f rom Minnesota, who married my cousin Jerusha I
Wilde. Mr. Sparkwell is troubled with catarrh, I
.rail he thinks of staying at our house a Tew
weeks, while he is being treated by Dr. Dosein.”
I put down my linen duster and brown paper
parcels with some emphasis.
“Oh, confound the Rev. Mr. Sparkwell!” I
said.
“John!” ejaculated my wife.
“Well. 1 can’t help it,” said I. “It’s not in hu
man nature to endure everything. And I’ve been
relationcd out of all patience ever since our mar
riage. The Jenkinses went away last week, the
Birdsalls took an affectionate leave yesterday,
and now, just as I was contemplating a peaceful
evening by ourselves, here’s a new swarm, hun
grier than the rest, just about to settle down on
us! In my opinion, Kitty, my dear, relations
.should be abolished.”
“I am surprised at you. John,” said my wife.
My own people, that are so fond of me.”
“That's where you are mistaken, my dear,”
said I. “It’s your comfortable spring beds and
good cookery that they are so fond of, and not
you.”
“.John!”
‘Td be willing to wager a goofl round sum on
.‘he truth of my assertions.” said I.
‘ Because you have no relations yourself ”
••Thank Providence for that!” said 1 devoutly.
•; was reared in a foundling asylum, and have
nobody to thank but myself for my tolerable suc
cess in the world.”
“It's no reason you should find fault with
mine,” said Kilty, with her bright blue eyes full
of tears. ‘‘And Mr. Sparkwell is such a spirt unl-
ly minded man, and (tear Uncle Silas loves you
j'ist as if you were his only son, and Cousin Joab
i> so interested in the children.”
“I’m much obliged to ’em,” said I, dryly. “But
I slept all last week on sofa coushions laid in the
bath tub; and we had fourteen people here over
the annivesaries; ami I was obliged to give up
my own room for a month last winter to old Mr.
Mansewell, not to speak of our being half poi
soned "with Aunt Louisa’s hygeian messes last
fall. When the poet said ‘There’s no place like
home,’ I presume he meant when there were no
relations visiting him. I’ll tell you what, my
dear,” with a sudden inspiration, ’‘I’ve a great
mind formally to deed over this house to your
relations, if they will agree solemnly to leave me
in peace for the rest of my life, wheresoever I set
up my family tents.”
“Nonsense!” said his wife. “Do go up stairs
and change your things, and brush your hair,and
get ready for tea. They’re all waiting in the best
parlor, and I was expecting your return to see
about hiring some cot beds from the village ho
tel. to put up in the attic for those four little
NparwelJ children. You see. Aunt Louisa has the
blue bed room, and Cousin Joab will sleep in the
i ttle wing chamber, and Mr. and Mrs. Sparkwell
will have our room, and--”
“Indeed,” said I. “And we are to sleep in the
barn, J suppose?”
‘Don’t be cross, John,” said my wife appeal
ingly. ‘‘One must be liosoitable, you know. And
I can easily fit up a sofa-bed in the back parlor
for our use for a week or two.”
1 said nothing, but ground my teeth in silt-lit
despair, as I sprang up stairs, two steps at a time,
to make what change I could in my toilet by the
aid of a ten by twelve glass, hung over the wash-
stand of a stuffy little bath room.
The Rev. Mr. Sparkwell was a big man, with a
still bigger voice, and a limp, faded little wife,
whose sole earthly interest seemed centered in
her four white-eyed, freckled-faced children. Un
cle Silas and Aunt Melicent were a silent couple,
with excellent appetites and two small hoys, who
giggled and snickered at each other in the inter
val* of the conversation.
Cousin Joab talked incessantly with his mouth
full, and the two Miss Wilmerdings served as
general echoes to the rest; while Aunt Louisa de
voured lobster salad ad libitum, and kept on
s. nding up her cup for more green tea, until I
bembled for her nerves.
While my wife, careful and troubled, like Mar
tini of old, with many things, looked ready to
ln }> with the hospitable exertions she had made,
um J, sitting a mere cypher at the head of my
table, felt as if I were keeping a boarding house
without any of the pecuniary emoluments thore-
"Mv trunks will be up in the six o’clock train.”
•>aid the Rev. Mr. Sparkwell. “I’ll trouble you.
! '"usin Poyntz* to send an expressman to the do-
"•t for ’em. And if there's any apartments in
'ins domicile, Cousin Poyntz, that could he fitted
up as a study for my temporary use, ir would
greatly facilitate my intellectual occupation dur
ing my sojourn in the suburbs of this great city.
Audi must beg that you will keep the house
very *,till during the hours which 1 devote to
study.”
Here niv wife looked at me aghast, thinking of
1,1 tl*; Johnny and the baby.
Never mind, my dear,” 1 remarked, sotto
• nee, “we can easily get them boarded soine-
■*v here.”
“And,” went on the Reverend .Mr. Sparkwell,
l should esteem it a favor if a horse and buggy
' "’ild be procured for my daily use when going
'*•» Doctor Dosein, in the city, as the motion of
•ue train disagrees with my nervous system.”
I don’t happen to own a carriage,” I said, “but
l might buy one.”
Thank you, thank you. Cousin Poyntz,” said
” 1 '- ■'■’parkwell, blandly.
And if there’s any other little thing you
- -mid happen to want/’ I added, "pray d >n’t be
backward in mentioning it/
“No, I won’t Cousin Poyntz,” said tlie reverend
gentleman, with the utmost gravity.
And 1 am bound to say that lie kept his word.
For three days I endured the swarm of visitors
”mich literally infested my home, and then f
ode up my mind that patience had ceased to be
a \ nine.
1 II put a stop to this thing." said I.
. 1 came home one night with a tragical expres-
S1,, n/m my face.
Katharine.” I said to mv wife. “I am ruined”. |
“.’A hut?" cried all the company at once,
i *’hose shares in the Western Union, you
mow!” said I, smiting my forehead.
Ays, dear,” gasped poor Kitty.
” They have gone down/ said 1. “Not wo>1h :»
penny/’
"Oh, John:”
,”! wish l had taken your advice and let ’em
a “‘ne,“ said I. “But after all i» doesn’t so much
matter, as if I had no friends.”
I looked beamingly around at my wife’s rela
■''"ns. They returned the giauce bv the blankest
■ I Mares.
"If I can borrow two hundred dollars apiece
' t iiil the»e dear kindred/’ said I, with obtrusive
r leertulness, “and request uncle Silas to endorse
*ny business notes ”
”I couldn’t think or such a thing/’ hurriedly
interrupted that gentleman.
' I should be most happy to oblige.” said f’oiis-
ln Toi ib, “but I am quite out of funds at pres
ent.”
"And I,” said the Reverend Mr. Sparkwell.
pushing back his chair, “must save what huh- (
•‘■•uire I possess in this world’s filthy lucre to pay
111 / passage and that of mv family back to Min
nesota.”
’’•Surely,” cried I, “you would not go away and I
ta \v me in such pecuniary .-traits as these.
fhe Rev. Mr. Sparkwell significantly buttoned
hp his pockets.
"It’s every man’s business to look after himself
( "U-sin Poyntz,” said lie; “and I don’t scruple t"
®ay that it is downright dishonesty for a business
m an like yourself to get into such financial diffi
culties.”
And in fifteen minutes every cousin of the lot
uuu, upon one excuse or another, vanished from
the room, to pack and prepare for immediate do- 1
part ure.
I looked at my wife; ray wife looked at me. I
burst out laughing; Kitty twgan to cry.
‘‘My dear,’ said I, ‘Mt’a an easier job than 1 |
thought it would he. I didn’t know out that it
would be necessary for me to catch the smallpox
before I could get rid of your relations.” j
“But are we very poor, John? And must we give 1
up this dear little cottage? Oh, how cruel it is of
Cousin Joab, and Mr. Sparkwell, and Uncle Silas,
and all of them, not to help you! I know Mari*
anna Wilmerding lias $6,000 that she wants to
put out nt interest, for she told me so only yes
terday. and -”
“Yes. exactly.” said I. “But probably she does
not regard me as a good investment.”
After all 1 have done for them!” sobbed my
wife.
‘‘Relations are only human, my dear.” said 1. 1
The company took their leave without much
ceremony of adieux, and that afternoon my wife
< ame to me with tear** in her eyes.
‘‘John," said she, “will you tell mo how much
money you have lost in that horrid Western
Union stock. Because I would rather know the
worst at once."
“Lost?” repeated I, looking up from the news
paper, which 1 was reading in Uncle Silas’s fa
vorite easy chair, now vacated for the first time
in many days. “Why. who said I had lost .un
tiling?
“You did.”
“Excuse nu*. my dear; 1 said nothing of the
kind. 1 merely stated that tile Western Union
• hares were not worth a penny. Neither were
they to me, as 1 had sold out all I possessed a
week ago.”
‘•John.”
“1 low could you?”
“Very easily.” said 1, with a latent smile. “My
•bar. I think if your relatives hud stayed another
week I should have committed suicide."
“And you told that horrid story just to get rid
of them?”
“I made that unimpeachable statement with I
that precise intention.”
“They were rather trying,” confessed Kitty.
And I think they might have helped you a little
when they thought you were bankrupt."
“They will not conic visiting here again,” said
I. quietly.
And I was right. They did not.
Courtship in (hutch.
Waycross Reporter.]
A young gentleman happened to sit at church ,
in a pew adjoining the one in which sat a young :
lady for whom he conceived a sudden and vio- j
lent passion. He was desirous of entering into a I
courtship on the spot, but the place not suiting a |
formal declaration, the exigency of the case sag- ;
gested the following plan: He politely handed bis ;
fair neighbor a Bible (open) with a pin stuck in I
the following text: Second Epistle of John, verse '
fifth --‘‘Anil now 1 beseech thee, lady, not as |
though I wrote a new commandment unto thee j
but that which we hod from the beginning, that I
we love one another." She returned it, pointing j
to the second chapter of Ruth, verse tenth:— |
"Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to
the ground, and said unto him: Why have I
found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldst
take knowledge of me, seeing that I am a stran
ger?” He returned the book, pointing to the
thirteenth verse of the Third Epistle of John—
“Having many things to write unto you, I would
not write with paper and ink, but I trust to come
unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy
may be full." For the above interview a mar
riage took place in another week.
