Won know. my dear madam, that if you
get angry with your cook and give her a

pecially if she is a good cook. But who
ever heard of govcrness giving warn,

of young women who will be glad to take
her place if she gives herself airs.
Well, at this time, there was not in all
the neighborhood better girl, prettier
girl, more loving, dutiful daughter than
Ellen Bird. She would often nurse her
mother the greater part of the night, and
then be up early to take her long walk
to the other end of the city. One morn
ing, when it had been raining hard, she
wet her feet badly in little pool in front
of grocer's chop. The shopkeeper hap
pened to be standing at the door, and in
vited her in to dry her shoes. Thus
sprang up little intimacy between them,
and she would often step into the store
for the same purpose, for, to tell home
ly truth, her shoes, we'll nigh worn out,
were far from waterproof, and where was
poor governess to get new ones9 The
grocer was the only acquaintance, besides
myself, that Ellen had. He always had
a kind word for her. Nor did Ellen fail
to ask him after the child that had brok-
en- its arm, or how his wife was, and
other little queries.
"a hard life hers" the man would say
to some customer, as Ellen left the store
mot hard at ALL" answered Mrs. Elan
agan, the washerwoman. "Put her over
\ wash-tub for five or six hours, and see
how she would bear it."
"You don't know ALL" he replied. And
he was right.
Mrs. Henshaw, to whose house Ellen
was going that morning, was little out
of spirits, and ready to take offense at
anything Ellen might do. The very dress
Of the governess displeased her-it was
too plain.

she began in aquerulous tone. "Are you
ready. with those quadrilles for Lucy to
practicei"
81 am very sorry, ma'am, but I have
been so much engaged; have so little
time to spare"
"Well, Miss Bird, if you have such
pressing engagements, suppose shall
have to engage a new"
ooh, ma'am," faltered Ellen, 81 am too
happy to be employed by you. IL GER
tainly will have them ready by to-mor-

Poor thing. She spoke the truth. She
was too happy to be employed by Mrs.
Henshaw.
swell, will excuse you this time. All,
! think you said. when We engaged you,
that you could teach Italian"
"Yes. ma'am," replied Ellen, looking
more cheerful.
Lucy is to learn. ! shalt expect you
10 teach her without any increase of pay.
! cannot Afford TO give any more"
Poor Ellen's face fell. She had antici-
pased that the increased employment
