"And so Kate Owen is coming heren said
AbsalOm Burr to himself as he paced to and fro
in his dingy apartment. "Why don't she get
married and 60 about her businessP A plague
on her, say. Just because my sister chose to
marry Jim Owen and then die, and leave this girl
behind, must take the thing and provide for it.
What fool was ever to tell my sister I'd sec to
her child. Why, here will be my house turned
tcpsy.turyy, and everything like peace fly out d
the windows. And then | suppose the first

shall. BY the host, she don't touch penny Of
mine. And if she stays here she will do my sew.
ing TO pay for hOuse-roOm, and do my cooking
and washing, to pay for her yictuals A plague
on the poor nieceSr'
Thus spoke Absalom, aud then he sat down
and stuck his feet close up to the fire. Absalom
Burr was perfect miser. Ills face was deeply
furrowed by the hand Of passing time, and IFS
lines were hard and cold. His clothes were old
and patched, and his shoes, even, were sadly in
want Of mcnding.
The cold breath Of winter was close at hand,
and yet the only fuel he had on hand was such
as he had been able to pick up by the roadside
and edge Of the pond. The house in which he
lived was but poor hOvel with only two rooms,
and furniture more ft for lirewood than anything
else. There were four windows in the house, and
every spare rag Of clothing he owned was in use
for the replacing Of broken panes.
And yet Absalom Burr was worth fifty thou
sand dollars, though he contrived to be taxed for
only ten thousand, which was invested in houses
in the town. He was never known 10 bcstow a
penny in charity, though many poor suffering
fellow sufferer had applied for. assistance at his
hand. Alone had he lived for many long year,
and his heart was all hardened and closed up
against every kindly feeling. He spent his time
in attending to his rents, picking up wood and
rags by the weysidc, and counting his money at
home
nMonday evening, near the last Of November,
the stage stopped in front Of AbsalOm's hut, aud
a young female was helped out by the driver,
and Q trunk and bandbOx put down alter her.
The old man had not seen her for ten years, but
be remembered how his sister looked when she
vast girl, and here was her exact image Kates
mother was the only sister he ever had, and thus
Kate the only near relative he had living. The
girl helped carry her own trunk in, and as soon
as she removed her bonnet she threw her arms
around bis neck and kissed him. lie started
back at this, and severe look passed over his
face. .sf.t.f"
Kate Owen was pretty girl, and she had lelt
behind her not one acquaintance that did not
love her. She was short, plump, laughter low
ing being, with brown hair and hazel eyes, and
when she laughed the dimples darkened in her
checks and chin, and the curls shook about her
fair temples 10 fact one look at her face was as
good as medicine for the blues and the ring Of her
merry laugh was contagious
Ny dear unelc,r she said, after she had seat.
