are perfectly raw, said he, holding
one up; and so they were. So
rang for Biddy and asked her why
she bad not baked the cakes. Sure,

put the cakes in the oven ies, as soon
as got in the kitchen, but was
afther taking them of as soon as tho
fire began TO be burning, for fear
they'd he afiher scorching.'
"A bright pupil, indeed, said I,
laughing, you will have to teach her
everything.
Everything That puts me in
mind of another blunder. When
she came, il was understood that |
was to instruct her in all the service
! should need of her. The morning
after she came, | left her safe in the
kitchen, and went into the parlor to
practice. A noise behind me at
tracted my attention, and turning, I
saw Biddy sitting on n sofa, appsr-
emily perfectly at home. why, Bid

'and never come into the psrlor
again unless | send for you 20,

aud Blddy went out. About one
hour afterwards, heard the piano,
and going down, found Biddy seated
on the piano stool, humping mo

which she struck they keys, while
look Of great satisfaction was visible
on her face. Why, Biddy,' said |.

For so young bride and house
keeper, you certainly have had some
experience, said laughing.
Are you ever coming TO see me-
said Lizzie, after we had spent some
time chatting. You have never
seen my Green Erin as Frank calls
her
BE sure, I shall pay Biddy visit
said |, us we parted.
About week after, met Lizzie
in the street, and she told me that
one of the 'entry thieves, as they
are called, had come TO the house
while she was out, and under pre-
tense Of waiting till her return, had
taken away all the smaller parlo, or
namen,s while Buddy was in the
kitchen. Ii is so provoking 10 lose
things So said Lizzie and many Of
these things ! valued because they
were bridal gifts. However, i'm
pressed il upon Biddy's verdant mind
that The next time people of that kind
called when was out, she was 10 tell
them TO come again, and never leave
them alone in the parlor. She rep
rescnts this theft as quite respecta-
BILE looking woman
A morning or two after this con-
versalion, started to spend the day
with Lizzie, according to our ngree-
ment. went quite early in the
forenoon. A gnl, whom | knew
must be the Green Erin of Lizzie's
stories, opened the door.

After much arguing, aud some in
science on Biddy's part, ] managed
to enec, an entrance. Biddy follow
ed me into the parlor, and seated
herself directly opposite me. Con-
GLIDING that she would leave the room
as soon as she had satisfied her curl
osi,y, for thought she wanted to
find out who was, | took up book
to read I'LL Lizzie came in.
