and Of the silly airs Of silly bride, and Of
boy with two guinea pigs buttOned into
/ bis Jacket for safe transportation, really
[ frightened the hope Of life IN his heart, and
after partaking Of nice supper prepared by
their pretty friend. he said
Now, girls, feel as If | was going 10 get
about again, and this Is the first time have
had any hope"
Love kept away from her father till she
had visited two market gardens in the out
skirts Of the town and secured great sup
ply OF cucumhers, onions, peppers, and to-
matocs, and had fetched back the strong
girl she had At first felt obliged to dismiss,
to help her in her new work.
But il you could only have seen the size
Of the old gentlemans eyes, and the style of
mouth he got mp, and heard his exclama-
tions
"Why, Love, you are crazy What viii
your mother say You surely forgot that
hcr first husband was president Of the L.
national bank. and that am cashier OF II !
Who ever heard of bank officers daughter
making pickles for taveus and groceries ?"
"Who ever hoard Of bank officers daugh-
Ger sitting down and starving when trouble
comes 2" replied the little lady
" NNN uuu NOU tcNcn music r
because | don't know enough"
lou might keep a few very genteel--
well, not just boarders but friends who don't
care to Keep house, but who would pay
largely 2"
Where are they, aud where's the house
and furniture for them?"
90, that's true; but you might--eh or
YOU mght-eh 2" aud here his wits failed
him there are SO few grand things that peo-
pie can do in the hope Of cheating others
into the belief that they are working for fun
rather than necessity. But soon the old
gentleman added-it was the truest word he
ever uttered declare | am afraid to go
home, lest II has reached yourmother'se ears ?"
The proud woman soon heard of il. and
she talked augrily about what Mrs. Adams
and Mrs. Col West, and purse-proud Miss
Alleu would say, and she was almost in
clincd to think II would be best TO give Love
$500 than 10 be disgrnced in society.
Glove wouldn't take any money" replied
the old man, whose attitude during the CON
veratlon was that of one caught in a cutting
hailitorm without any umbrella
Dreadful independent for anybody that's
penniless, cried the old lady.
Love and her stout help went to work at
once, and very soon the china closet, and next
the neat little diningToom, were filled with
glass jars through which tiny green cucmn-
bers and onions and everything else nice in
that line, was peeping. or as Love said, "smil-
ing ON the family"
The business went ON brayely, and in one
year loves husband, who was partially re-
covered to health, forsool, the bed and took
charge Of it and She went back TO the nur-
sely-every good woman's place when Proyi-
deucc does not call her out Of it.
This is no pretty fiction TO teach young
folks that where there's a will there's a
way" 1t is true story of brave little
woman, and We can tell you the street and
the number of large store in a certain city,
not far away where her enterprising hus-
band has built mp a large business and made
not a little money.
He says that if Love had never learned to
make pickles, or had been too proud TO make
them for others, in his dark time, he should
have been in his grave five years ago.
Who thinks less of her for doing it ?
