ponements which made her life
one endless endeavor to catch up,
with the transpiring present,
seemed to present themselves be-
fore her minds eye. What would
this end in? Was not the present
lesson sufficiently momentous to
teach her 10 train herself IN a diff
ferent school? She rose, and came
to her husbands side, laying one
tremulous hand on his shoulders.
There shall be no more missing
buttons, my love- she said, earn
estly.
He comprehended all that she
left unspoken, and silently pressed
the little hand in his own; and
not o word was said more than
this upon the subject.
But it was not forgotten. Fan
ny Chickerly set herself to work
to uproot the rank weeds growing
in the garden Of her life. And
she succeeded, as we all may do
when we resolve to do . wise

There, I forgot to tell cook about
having breakfast tomorrow morn
ing, and Of course she's abed and
asleep BY this time. III be up
early enough to see to it myself,
that will be just as we'll
/ And laying this salvo to her
conscience, Mrs. Chickerly turned
off the gas, and crept drowsily up
the stairs.
Fanny, Fanny, it's past FIVE,
and cook hasn't come down stairs
yet. Are you sure you spoke to
her last night?'
Mrs. Chickerly rubbed her eyes
and started sleepily around.
oh, Frank, I forgot all about
speaking to her last night she
cried with conscience face. But
I'll run right up-she can have
the breakfast ready in a very few
Minutes
She sprang out Of bed, thrust
her feet into a pair Of silk-lined
slippers, and threw a shawl over
her, shoulders.
Mr.. Chickerly bit his lip, and
checked her:
No need, Fanny he said, a lit
tie bitterly, 4 must leavethe house
in fifteen minutes, or miss the only
through train. It's of no use to
speak to cook now
I am so sorry, Frank
Mr.. Chickerly did not answer
he was apparently absorbed in
turning over the various articles
in his bureau drawer, while Fanny
sat shiVering on the edge Of the
bed, cogitating how hard it was
for her husband to start on a long
journey that bitter morning with.
out any breakfast.
I can make a cup Of coffee ny
self over. the furnace fire. she ex-
claimed, springing to her feet.
But Mr.. Chickerly again inter
posed;
sit down, Fanny please. I
would rather you would sew this
button On the neck of my shirt.
I have packed the others-those
that are fit to wear. I have shirts
enough, but mono in repair
Fanny crimsoncd as she remcm-
bcred how often in the course of
the last month or two, she had
solemnly promised herself to de-
vote day to the much-needcd
renovation of her husbands shirts.
She looked round for her himble.

III get it in a minutcn
The housemaid had just kindled
a fire in the sitting-room CRATE; it
was blazing and cracking cheerily
among the fresh Goals, and Fanny

pausing q moment to warm her
cold fingers, and watch the green.
ish-purpIe spires of fame shoot
anerrily up the chimney, until she
heard her husbands voice calling
her imperatively:
Fanny! Fanny what are you
doingr
'Oh, DEAR thought the wife, as
she ran up stairs, 4 wish Frank

in a hurry
Little Mrs: Chickerly never
stopped to think that the reairea-

never in a hurry.
The needle threaded, the thin
bic fitted on, an appropriate but
ton was next to be selected.
oh, dear, Frank, I haven't one
the right size!'
Sew on what you have, then ;

But Fanny was quite certain
there was Just the right button,'
somewhere in her WMork-basket,

There, I told you so". she cried,

Mr. Chickerly, glancing at his
watch uervously.
That's just your worrying way,
Frank; as if anybody could sew a

ONLY A BUTTON.

respond with the damask-corered
furniture and a little gilded clock,
which had just struck zine at
night-alI these things met Mrs.
Chickerly's eye as she laid down
her book, and yawned as widely
as her ripe cherry mouth would
admit. -...-. .--.
She was plump, fair-faced ma
tron of some four or FIVE and twen-
rty, with bright auburn hair, soft
blue eyes, and a complexion whose
roses stood in need Of no artificial
rouge to heighten their charms,
while her dress of soft crimson
n,erino was exquisitcly adapted to
the semi blonde style. Fanny
said Mr.. Chickerly, looking up
from his newspaper, did you call
ca those Carriers to-day??'
no, I never thought ofit.',
sAnd they leave townto-morrow
.morning; and Carter is ,absurdly
sensitive to all Sights, farcied or
real Fanny, I desired you TO
make a point Of calling - -.
'Weil, I did intend to, Frank, !
poutcd Mrs. ChickerIy, 'but one
can't think of everything
You cannot, it seems
asslt appears to me that you are
making a mountain out of a mole
hill,' said Fanny, rather tart|y.
1t may effect my business very
seriously. Carter's house carries
great influence with it,
Mrs. Chickerly was silent, pat
e,ng the velvet carpet with her
foot IN manner that indica,ed
some annoyance.
- i SHALL have to leave here very
carly tomorrow morning. said
her husband, presently.
To 60 to SccnersviIle. about
Aunt Eiizabcth's will
Yes
'Oh l wouldn't Frank
why not?' ...--
~ 1T is such bitter cold wcather
to travel in =; and Aunt Elizabeth
is such . whimsical old woman, it's
as likely as not that she'll change
her mind aboutmakinga q will when
you get there. I would wait a
little, if [ were you.'
Mr. ChiciSerly smiled.
That would be your system Of
doing things, Fanny, but not
mine
Ny system, Frank! What do
You mean?'
4 mean that you believe in put
ting things of Indefinitely, and
not always in the wisest manner.
I j7ish you would break yourself
Of that habit, Fanny. Believe
me, it will some day bring you to
grief
Mrs. Chiclcrly contracted her
pretty eyebrows.
4 don't believe in beinglectured,
Frank
tAnd I don't very often lecture
you, my dear; pray give me credit
for that
you didn't think you werc mar
rying an angel when you took me,
l hope?'
No, my love. I thought I was
marrying a very pretty little girl,
whose few faults might easily be
corrected
Faults! Have I any great faults,
Frank q
Little faults may sometimes en-
tail great consequences, Fanny
:Ieyou scold any more, I shall go
out of the room
