How pleasant 1t looks out there, MUIR
meryd Mrs JohnsoA 60 herself rs she
stood upon the Doorstep, with the break
fast boil raised in her hand. She paused
= momont ere che rang, " enjoy the cool
breeze and look upon the picture before
her.
Il vss one Of those close sultry morn
inOs which sometimes come, even IN 'he
early spring, TO encrvnte the frame ana
make The Isbors Of life seem irksome.
Out of doors there was slight breeze,
and a. che stood there in the shade and
Sslt 4 m her heated brow, II seemed as II
Il must be happiness enough to have ones
vork ont IN the pure air Of heaven. The
sky bent down 50 lovingly, rs IL TO close
~ World IN a fond embrace tbo trees
vsre 20 besutifu In their new wealth Of
foliage; in the distance she could see tho
cleaning river, and she knew the flower:
were springing SO brightly in the sheltered
hooks along its banks.
oh, IL che only had time to run dowf
and get her some! No, II was impossible
She wa late already, and she rang the
bell with an energy born Of fear, lest she
should give way 70 the sudden temptation
Glad 70 hear IL ut last, muttered farmer
johnson, as he started for the house at n
Quick pace. 4 began to think she was
Eoing 10 stand out there all day, idIing
away her time, while we were starving
How very warm IL is this morning, re-
marked Mrs. johnson, as she poured the
coffee.
Guess you'd think SO, If you had TO
work out In the broiling sun this morn
M erowled the husband. You wimm'n
Solks, who don't have anything to do but
70 stay In the house all the time, don't
know what hot weather Is.
Mrs. johnson thought Of the kitchen in
which she had toiled all the morning.
She had laid the table In the shadey porch.
She thought Of the hours she must yet
spend over the stove, ere the large iron
ing and baking would be dore, and din
nef ready for the hungry household. She
felt the cool breeze upon her brow; she
smelt the breath Of Spring, even amid the
savory odors Of tho breakfast, and she
really was not In state Of mind just then
70 appreciate the privilege Of staying in
the house oil the time"
~ suppose the violets arc in bloosm,"
she answered, rather abscntly ;.did You SEQ
any - you come along2'
No; I had something else to think Of
bssldes flowers. II I don't get that corn
cultivated pretty soon, We shall have TO
81 weeds instead Of corncakes for break

been injured by Q pleasant answer TO his
wifss question, but she did not say 80.
The iittie sieh was not intended "a u re-
proof 70 his want Of sympathy, but TO her
self for having for moment expected II.
