Tbe^ pleasant Juno sunbeams came peeplag into the cool, stone- paved dairy, where pans of milk and cream were ranged in orderly array; great stone pots stood under the shelves, and a blue painted churn wub already placed on the table for service. Mr. Bolleden was Justly proud of his dairy. Not a chance guest came to the house but was invited down to see it; not a housekeeper in tbo neigh borhood but seoretly envied its many conveniences and exquisite neatness. “And it isn’t the dairy alone,” triumphantly remarked Seth Bcl- lendcn. ‘ And you may go through tbo house from garret to cellar, and you will never find a speck of dust. Thoro never was such a housekeeper ns my wife.” Mrs. Bellcnden was young, too— scarcely three and twenty. She had been the daughter of a retired army officer, delicately reared and qulto ignorant of all the machinery of domestic life until she married Seth Bellcnden. “It’s very strange,” Lucy had written to her father. “The farm is beautiful. You never saw such monstrouBold buttonball trees, nor such suberb roses, and the mead ows are full of red clover and the strawberries shine like jewels on a sunny hillside. But nobody sketches orresds. Idon’tthinkthero’sncopy of Tennyson in the neighborhood, and no one never heard of Dorc or Millais. All they think of is how many dozen eggs tho hens lay, and how many cheeses they can make in a year. And the woman who has a new recipo for waffles, or new pattern for a horrible thing they call ‘crazy quilts,’ is the lender in society.” But presently young Mrs. Bol* lenden caught the fcvei, and became a model housewife. Example is all-powerful, and Lu- ,* began to believe that the whole m of life was domestio thrift,* money-saving and the treadmill of work. My dear,” said Seth, ‘‘if you think you could get along without Hepsy, the maid, I might be able to afford that new reaper before the oat crop comes, in.” “I’ll try,” said Luoy. After that she rose before day break and worked later into tho night than ever. “What is the matter with your hands, Lucy?” Beth asked one day. “Thoy are not so while and beautiful ns they used to bo.” Lucy colored as slie glanced down at the members in question. “I suppose it is from making flres,” said bIio. And then she went to wearing old kid gloves at her sweeping and dusting and digging out of the ashes. “My coat is getting shabby,” Seth one day remarked. “Why don’t yon buy another one?” asked his wife. Seth laughed a short laugh. “What do you think Mrs. Hig ginbotham has done?” said be. “She has ripped up her. husband’s old suit and out a pattern by it and made a new one, and entirely savod him ten dollars.” ‘‘I could do that!” said Luoy, with sparkling eyes. “I’ll try it.” “You could do anything, my dear,” said Mr. Bellcnden, udmir* ingly. And Lucy felt that she had her rich reward. Company began to come as soon as the bright weather set in. All the affectionate relations of Mr. Bclienden soon discovered that the farm-house was cool and shady, that Lucy’s cooking was excellent, and the bed rooms were neatness itself. Some of them were even good enough to invite their relations ns well; and so the house was lull from April to December. All the clergymen made their home at Brother Bellenden's when they came to Sylvan Bridge for ecclesiastical conventions; all the agents for unheard of articles dis covered that they Knew somebody who was accquainted with the Bel- - Icnden's, and brought their earpet - bags and valises with tliat faith in o-borve i human hospitality which is one of -Itorae vultlv.lur^.uWc | J,f 0 ’ 8 |j es t gifts.

And then she uttered the pro- verb that heads our sketch. “Oh, it’s only Uncle I’aull” said Mr. Bellcnden. “Don’t Irct, Lutiel He’s the most peaceable old gentle men in the world. He’ll make no more trouble than ncrlcket. John's wile thought she couldn’t have him became nlie hail no hired girl just now ’’ “Neither have 11” said Lucy, ro- belliously. “And Sarah Kliza don’t like company.” “And I am supposed to be fond of it!’’observed Lucy, bitterly. “And llcubcn’s girls don't want old folks staving there. It’s too muclt trouble they say,” added Seth. Lucy bit her lip to keep back the words she might have said, in stead; “Whore is he to Sleep? The Bel- fords have the front room, and your Cousin Susan occupies tho back room and tho four Misses Patterson sleep in the two hail chambers, and the hired men have the garret room.” She might have added that she and her husband and the baby, had slept in a hot little den opening from the kitchen, lor four weeks vainly expecting Mr. and Mrs. Bel lord to depart; and that shu had never yet had a chance to invite her rather to tho farm in pleasant weather. But'Sho was magnanimous and held her peace. “Oil, you can find Borne place for him!” said her husband lightly.— There’s that little room at tho end of the hall where the spinning wheel is.” “But it isn’t finished,” pleaded Lucy. “You can easily sew a carpet to gether ont of thoso old pieces Irom tho Belford’s room; and it’s no trouble to put up a muslin curtain to tho window and lift in a cot bed. There are a plenty of good sweet husks in tho corn house, nnd you can just tack n mattress together and whitewash tho ceiling, and— “What’s that, Beniali? The cows in the rye lot! Dear me! Kvory- thing goes wrong if I step into the house a moment. And really, Lu* tie, those things are your business and not mine!” lie added irritably. Luoy could not help laughing ail by herself ns her husband ran up the steps. But it was a very sad little laugh and soon changed into a sigh. I wonder,” said she, in a whis per, ‘‘it my poor, tired-out ghost would haunt these stone pavements and scrub shelves, if I were to diet 1 never heard of a ghost in a dairy before, but I should think that it mighteasily be,” But this little bed room was fit ted up for all lliut, as fresh as a rose, and uncle Pnul arrived, a dried-up, yellow complcxioned old man, with an old-fashioned cravat tied in many folds around his neck, tnd a suit of navy blue, with brass buttons. Ha bad the polite way ol half a century ago, and Lucy thought she would like very him much if she only had lime to get acquainted with him. But she was churning ten pounds of buttor a day, and thcro was the baby, and tho company, and the young chickens, and tbo baking to do for tbo sewing society, which was to meet at her house that week. She was almost too busy to sleep. But Uncle Paul was watching her quietly all the time. He came out one day to the barn where his nephew was putting on a new handle on a sickle-blade. “Pretty busy times—eh, Uncle Paul?” asked the farmer, scarcely taking the lime to look up. “Aye,” absently answered the old man. “Did I tell you Nephew Seth, about the reason I left your Cousin Kliab’s?” “Not that I remember,” said Seth, breathing on the blade and polleblng it with his silk handker chief. “Dorothy died—Ins wife?” “Oh, yes,” said Seth. “Malarial fever, wasn't it?” “No!” bluntly answered Uncle Paul. “It was hard work. That woman, Nephew' Sctb, did the housework for eight persons. Kiiab didn't even let her have a woman to help her with the washing and ironing.” handle a little. “Ail the sewing, too,” added Uncle Paul—“the mending and making. Never went anywhere except to church. Kltab didn’t believe in women gadding about.” “The old savage,” said Seth. “She was fond of reading, but never got any time fbr it,” said Uncle Paul. “She rose before sun up, and never lay down until II o'clock. It was hard work that killed that woman, and Eiiab coolly declared that it was sheer laziness when she could not drngj!hcrself around any longer. And when she died he rolled up his eyes and called it a visitation of Providence.” “Why don’t the neighbors lynch him?” cried Seth, fairly aronsed to indignation at last. Undo Paul took off his glasses, wiped them vigorously, and looked his nephow hard in tho face. “Why don’t the neighbors lynoh you ?” said he. &cth dropped the sicklo and stnred. “Nophow Seth,” said Uncle Pnul, impressively, “thou arc the man. Are you not doing the same thing?” “11” gasped Seth. ‘‘Your wifo is doing the work of a household of fifteen people,”said Uncle Paul. “She is drudging as you could hire no foreigner to drudge. She is ruing early and lying down late; she is offering up her life on the shrine of your form and its requirements. I have seen her grow thiu and pale even during tho few days I have heen here. I have carried water and split wood for her, bccauso there was no one to do it. I have Been her carry up Mrs. Belford’s breakfast daily to her room, because Mrs. Belford prefers to lie in bed; and cooking dainty dishes lor Helen Patterson because Helen wouldn’t eat what the rest liked. No galley slave ever worked as Bb'e docs. And you, with your hired men—whose board only adds to her cares—and your labor-saving machinery, stand coolly by and sco her commit slow suicide. Yes, Nephew Setb; I think it is a enso for lynching!” Seth had grown pale. “I—I nover thought of this,” said he. “Why did’t some one tell mo ?” “Where were your own eyes?” asked Uncle Paul. Seth Bclienden rolled down ' his shirt sleeves, put on his coat, and went into tho liotiso. He told tho Bclfords and Patter- sons that it was inconvenient to keep them any longer. He gave Cousin Susuii to understand that her room was needed. He mado arrangements to board tho hired men nt the vacant form house, and engaged a stout dairyman and a bouse sorvant to wait on Luoy. And he telegraphed to her father lo coma to Sylvan Bridge at once.’ “She deserves a trost,” he said. “He shall spend the summer with And then ho went to toll Luoy. She had fainted among tho but tercups, picking strawberries for tea. Poor littlo Lucy I The machin ery had utterly refused to revolve any longer. llis heart grew cold within him. “Sbo will die!” he thought, “and I shall have murdered her 1” But sho did not die. She recov ered her strength by degrees. “It is better than medicine,” said she, “to know that Seth Is thinking of me and for me.” And Uncle Paul, “the last straw,” as site had csllcd him—had proved her salvation. “I didn’t want her to go as Eli- ah’s wife did,” said Uncle Paul. In his ‘‘Twenty Years ot Con gross,” referring to the eiovation of the Hon. Thomas A.
