Mary Grey's Mother-in-Law'
A Christmas Story.

$50 your mother-in-law is coming to
live with you," remarked Miss Susan
Skinner, contemptuously, giving her
head toss which set sll the little pink
bows on her cap dancing.
Pretty, plump, little Mrs. Grey opened
her brown eyes in mild surprise at her
visitors tone.
"Why, yes, Miss Susan, mother Grey's
last child has married and moved away
from her, and now she is left quite alone.
Henry always was her favorite, and l,
knowing it would please him, suggested
that she should rent or sell the farm, and
make her home with US, and she has con-
sented to do So"
"Humph all the moro fool youl You
have got Yourself into a pretty fix now,
Mary Grey. She will never leave you as
long as she lives; you Gun make up your
mind to that, and bid goodbye to peace
for the rest of your days"
"Why, Miss Susan," said Mrs. Grey,
regarding her old neighbor with surprise,
81 don't understand you. am sure l
never want mother to leave US, and as
for peace, what difference can her CON-
ing make?"
aOh, you'll see," replied Miss Susan,
nodding her head wisely, while her knit
ting needles kept time to her shrill > les
with sharp click-click. you'll see !!
You will repent of your bargain before q
month is over, mind what tell you. Of
all the mean, conniving, meddlesome
women in the world, it is mother-in-
law"
Mrs. Grey began to feel little an
moved. "What do you know about it?'
she could not refrain from saying.
"Humph! you needn't twit me with
being an old maid, Mary Grey l thank
nv stars that Pm not tied to any man,
nor what's worse, to any mans mother.
What do know about mothers-in-law! >!
More than l want to, goodness knows
WHY, there was my cousin Lucinda, who
was obliged to leave her husband, and go
home to her father, just on account OF
her mothcr-in-law and Alice Lawson,
poor, little, weak creature, who used to
live in this very house, was so imposed
upon and i'll used by her husbands moth
er, that they do say it killed her; any
way, she died just three months after her
mothcr-in-law came to live with her.
Why, know of lots of such cases, and,
if a woman isn't awfully strong minded,
her mother-in-law just runs right over
her and rules the house, and il she Is
strong minded, they arc continual y jang-
ling and quarreling, so you see that, al
together, woman's best way is to keep
entirely away from her mothcr-in.la law" "
"But, Miss Susan, these are only e1-
ccptional CASES." said Mrs. Grey; Il am
sure there are good and true women in
the world belonging to this class"
"Well, I'd just like to see one OF them,
that's all see it's no use arguing with
you, Mary; you're too set on having your

GoING IN DEBT.-Halfthe young men
in the country, with many old enough to
know better, would ''go into business"
that is, debt, tomorrow, if they could.
Most poor men are so ignorant as to envy
the merchant and manufacturer, whose
life is an incessant struggle with pecu-
niary difficulties, who is driven to con-
stant Shining" and who, from month to
month, barely evades that insolvency
which sooner or later overtakes most men
in business so that it has been computed
that but one in twenty Of them achieves
O pecuniary success. For my own part
and 1 speak from sad experience-I
would rather be convict in state pris-
on, slave in rice swamp, than to pass
through life under a harrow of debt. Let
no man misjudge himself unfortunate or
truly poor so long as he has the full use
of his limbs and faculties, and is sub
stantially free from debt. Hunger, cold,
rags, hard work, contempt, suspicion, un-
Just reproach, are disagreeable; but debt
is infinitely worse than them all. re-
peat, my young friends, avoid pecuniary
obligations as you would pestilence and
famine. If you have but fifty cents, and
can get no more for week, buy a peck
of corn, parch it and live on it, rather
than owe man a dollar Of course, L
know that some men must often give
notes and other obligations, and | do not
consider him really in debt who can lay
his hand directly on the means ofpaying,
at some little sacrifice, all he owes. |
speak of real debt, that which involves
risk of sacrifice, on the one side, obliga.:
ton and dependence on the other; and
| say, from all such let every youth hum
bly, pray God to preserve him ever more,

- President Hayes and his policies
have again been beaten in the United
States Senate by Republican votes,
the New York nominations which
he sent in again, last week, having been
rejected on Wednesday. The supporters
of his policy have suffered themselves to
be beaten in detail. At the beginning of
the session they conceded everything to
Mr.. Conkling, knuckled to him in caucus
and in committee, and helped him to de-
feat the Southern policy in the rejection
of Judge Spoford. When at length the
question came up on the civil service re-
form policy, they found they had thor.
oughly wet their own powder, disgusted
and betrayed those who should have been
their friends and thrown away every OPP
portunity of advancement, either for the
party or for the country. Their timidity
deserved nothing better, but it is great
disappointment and setback to the
country.

john Welsh, new minister Of the
United States to England, was received
with much demonstration by the munich
pal authorities on his arrival at Lvei-
pool. There was Il banquet with spec.
es, and the President Of the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce took occasion to
urge free-trade upon America. Mr..
Welsh replied that England did what it
considered beneficial for the English ma
ton. In like manner America looked to
the interests of the American people.
Both had a good common object, but diff
fered in the node of procedure.

Chairman Committee

- The young king of Spain seems to
be fellow of spirit. When he told his
ministers that he wished to marry the
Princess Mercedes of Montpensier, they
objected, saying that the duke of Mont
pensier was so very unpopular. "What
has that to do with it?" replied the
youthful sovereign; 81 mean to marry
the dukes daughter, not the duke" and
so be carried his point. This obstacle
being removed, there yet remains the
formality of asking the papal dispensa-
ton necessary for marriage with q rela-
tive, and shortly it is to be presumed this
pretty romance of the Spanish king and
his pretty cousin will terminate in truly
blissfu! fashion.

A LoSG-WlNDED SICK MAS.-At
Toledo, Ohio, Judge West and Gen.
George A. Sheridan were appointed to
speak together.
1t was one of Judge Vests bad nights.
lie was not feeling strong, and as Sheri-
dan was rattling speaker, it was the de-
termination to give the night to him.
The chairman of the meeting therefore,
according to understanding, opened by
stating that Judge West was "feeble,"
and could occupy but few minutes.
The Judge opened at five minutes be-
fore s, and became so absorbed with the
subject he had in view, that he knew
nothing of the fight of time, and closed
with dazzling pcroration at nine min
utcs after II o'clock-occupying only
three hours and sixteen minutes.
Sheridan came forward and said that
he was somewhat feeble" himself, but
he did not think they required to hear
from more than one sickly man in one
evening. The audience roared them
selves out of the hall.

A reporter of the Chicago Tribune inter-
viewed Ex-Governor Seymour in that city
last Thursday. He took quiet view OF the
situation, and discoursed philosophically Of
notifies and politicians. He said: "The
worst class OF men in politics are those who
do not claim to be politicians. Politicians,
"a q rule, are not bad men. 1t Is the man
who does not claim to be q politician, and
who is in politics, that generally does the
mischief. Parties are necessary to coun-
try. They make men love their country.
They make them forget seltishness and
inculcate patriotism. 1t is political parties
that make and sustain nation. Our system
OF government is. peculiar, and political
parties are necessary. The world looks
upon us rs a combative race. But we talk
in our own exaggerated way from the stump
and through the press, but mean no. harm.
In parties men learn the characters OF their
opponents and friends, and see their faults,
though. they may not be willing to confess
them as regards their Own partisans. They
learn to. be- liberal in parties. We talk OF
our, political opponents inla:PiekWlckian
