81 think you have acted wisely in al
lowing Fred to learn the kind of business
he fancies. 1t is of no sort of use to
make people do what they were never made
for, and can never excel in. am acquaint-
ed with young man whose father insists
upon his going to college, with the view of
entering a profession. His fancy would
lead him to become a merchant, and if he
yields to his fathers wishes, the chances
are that he will fail entirely, and become
what call misplaced man."
"There is more truth than poetry in
what you say, Amy l have seen many in
stances of such mismanagement myself"
This part of the conversation between
Amy and her uncle was held after they en-
tered the house, and Herman Allen who
was an involuntary listener, could not help
admitting to himself that this city girl was
more sensible than he gave her credit for,
and perhaps, after all, she might not be
such bore in the house as he feared
In a few days Amy became accustomed
to the routine of the farmhouse, and, she
enjoyed, with keen relish, the simplicity
of her life. Attircd in neat calico dress,
which she brought expressly for the pur-
pose, she liked nothing better than to help
her aunt about the morning work, and then
to save the men q warm walk to the house,
she would take every day'a pail of lunch
con and pitcher of cool drink to the hay
field. Uncle Raymond blessed her in his
heart for this loving service, and Herman
thought that not the least of the pleasures
of his quiet stay at Shelby was the daily
companionship of this sweet girl, who al
though brought up in the midst of fashion
and folly, was sensible and true-hearted.

"Have you had any experience in the

"I should think I had" replied Amy.
