The broom was vigorously piled a minute, the tablecloth straightened, and she was in the act of giving her-hair a few smoothing brushes, when a low tap sounded ou the oaken door. She paused a moment, to get over the flut ter her recent activity ha v d thrown her into, and then proceeded to open it, and properly greet her visitor.

Why can’t you keep Yourself so five minutes? Then mother wonld take courage, and flx you up every nf- ought to be enough for any reasonable boy. In the afternoon you might find out some play that would not soil your clothes. Then you would be fit to be seen if any one called, and vou would learn luvbits of neatness. Don’t you feci better to be dressed up?* ,Why yes, Jenny, I would rather look decent any day; but tho jackets look so like time, 1 don’t care about keeping them clean. Xow you see if I spoil this one to-day!’ The call was over soon, and the children catuc down Mails looking s fresh and tidy that it suggested to mother the propriety of changing her own apparel ‘before anyone else should happen in.’ So, after putting the room aud kitchen to rights, and inakin little preparation for tea. she w away aud slipped on a nice dark de laine dress with narrow ruffles about the sleeve and neck, and fastened at the throat with a ucal pin she seldom wore now-a-days. She was quite pleased with her reflection iu the dres sing-glass, as she smoothed the glossy brown hair, which had not yet a thread of silver. *1 might ns well dress up every day,’ she thought, ‘if it was not so much trouble.’ The children looked pleased, and behaved better than they had for ninny an afternoon; they alwny. seemed to get to boisterous towards night, the poor motbei said, ‘she could not bear herself think.’ Won’t you wear this dress day. mama,’ said little Lolly, patting and smoothing it with evident admir ation. The children were engaged in some pleasant game which Jenny had taught them, when father returned with a brother-in-law from the city, who had come down by the evening train. It wns unexpected, and it was with many misgivings he invited him to his home. He had some forebodings with regard to the report he would be likely to carry back to sister Louisa. His surprise and pleasure made bis whole lace glow when lie saw the unwonted order displayed, and the quick eyes of the wife welt not slow to observe and comprehend bis satisfaction. It brought an answering tide of happi ness into her own heart, and the ex cellent supper was quickly on the table. Whatever other apitointmeats about the bouse were not what they should he, tlic meals were always Weli- propared and ucatly served. Her Knives were the brightest, her linen the whitest, her china the most spot less, and her food was never cooked too much or too little. Indeed, she made herself a needless slave to her kitchen, neglecting other pursuits which she had once had n taste for, nud, quite as bad, neglecting her per son and that of her children. Now the little people felt the responsibility ot clean clothes, and were more thoughtful aud silent than common— *a very good failing’ for children at . the table. They wcut to bed after tea, according to custom, after rejoicing over the pretty presents their city cousins had scut them, and obtaining permission to carry them up to bed.— They discoursed with Jenny sometime* ns to what present they could send baek in return, and she concluded that a basket of fine rosy apples would be as acceptable ns any anything, and piuch pleased with the idea, they fell .asleep. - *— A very delightful evening the elders spent in the parlor, the Indy feeling at case because she felt her appeal aura was respectable, and she had given her husband pleasure by the pains she bad taken. All were in good spirits, and when the brother-in-law returned, he gave Lis wife a glowing account of how fh'.ely George lived, away down there in the country, with such a nice, tidy wife, and healthy, well-behaved children. The mother thought much over the simple events of the day, and her eyes were opened as they never were be fore, to sec what a blessing order and neatness brings. She had seen the worried, unsatisfied look on her bus- band's face so often, even before bis well-ordered table, and had been at a loss to account for it, and now her eves were suddenly opened, aud she wondered how they could ever have been so blind. She resolved to turn 9ver a uew leaf, and she did it, and yns sui prised to find how much more harmoniously the wheels , moved on. Tlic childrcu respected 'themselves more in # cleau clothes, as all children do.nm! a greater fondness for civilizing, refining pursuits, gradually made its appearance. . ■Simple dresses and jackets, nicely ironed and trimmed aith an irexpeu- $ivu while rutile about the* neck, are great civilizing agents, besides great promoters of happiness.
