a Particular Lady.

There is a GOODNESS and precision about
this persons dwelling that makes your heart
shrink back THAT is, if you have the least
atom of soeiability in your nature) with
lonely feeling, the same which your expe-
rence when you go by yourself and for the
first time among decided strangers,
Everything is in painful order The
damask table cover has been N Just the same
folds ever since it came from the vendors
shop, eight years ago and the legs o. the
chairs have been on the exact diamonds IN
the drugget they were first placed on by
the-by, do you ever remember of seeing that
same drugget off the carpet underneath ? No
for she never has company; the untidlness
they would occasion, would cause the poor
soul to be subject to fits for the rest Of
her natural, or rather unnatural-lile.
Though untidiness is fault all peopIr should
avoid, especially the young, yet for mercJ's
slke, urge them not to be particular. She
will become as hateful in tbs sight Of her
friends as sloven.
The particular lady generally lives in the
kitchcn--and an excruciatingly tidy enc it is
The great parlors, with their crimson cur
tains, Turkish carpets, mammoth mirrors
beautiful mantels, and elegant paintings, al
ways closed. Nobody visits them nobody
enjoys them the children tread on tip-toe to
steal glance into them, their eyes express,
i've of wonderment and cautious air Of
dread.
She is all the time dustlng and washing
and scrubbng and scrubbirg and washing
, and busting. The door-steps the wash-board'
must be daily scrubbed, though Immediately
white they already be. The very knives
forks and spoons are rubbed thin and gentce
by repeated cleaning.
You can tell her crossing the street she
watches for every vehicle and waits until II
has passed a square, for fear of being
splashed and even in dry weather she cross
es on the joints of her toes, and holds hel
dress above her ankles. Her tonstal hdge
wears the flesh from her bones and color from
her checks. She never can get serVan
to stay long with her. We never heard o
but one particular lady who retained a do
nestle longer than year, but then she wal
as "particular as her mistress"
