A SKET CHI.
BY MRS. CAROLINE LEE HENTz

A pleasant little group was gathered round
uncle Ned's domestic hearth. He sat on
one side of the fireplace, opposite aunt
Mary, who with her book in her hand,
watched the children seated at the table,
some reading, others sewing, all occupied,
but one, child of larger growth, a young
lady, who, being a gust of the family was
suffered 10 indulge in the pleasure of idle
ness without reproof.
'Oh | lore rainy evening, said little
Ann. looking, up from her book, and NEE
ting her mothers smiling glance, it is so
nice to sit by good fire, and the rain pat
tering against the windows. Only | pity
the poor people who have no house to cover
them, to keep off the rain and cold.'

George, boy of about twelve. i can

the bright moon and stars. My heart feels

Uncle Ned smiled and gave the boy an
approving pat on the shoulder. Every one
smiled but the young lady, who, with Ian
guild, disconnected air, now playing with
pair of scissors, now turned over the leaves
of a book, then with an ill suppressed yawn,
leaned idly on her elbow and looked into
the fire.
