THE NEW GIRL.

"Now Charlie, you'll be sure to
remember?'
ITO remember-what:" :" said Mr..
Meredith, with Il hopeless expression
of insanity Of his countenance. Kate
Meredith dropped both hands des-
pa;ringlyat her sides.
Charles p she exclaimed. 'you
don't mean that yen have for gotten

"My DEAR" said Mr.. Meredith,
fumblng IN the depths of his over
coat pocket for a missing glove. Il
may pot have forgotten-but |

"The oysters!' suggested his
wife.
"Oh. yes, tie OYSTERS said Mere
dith.
"And the two ounces of double
zephyr scarlet wool"
"Exactly."
"And the depot hack to be in
waiting at 2 O'Clock for your cousin
from Philadelphia"
DR. Meredith slapped one hand
On the table. 'She of coming to-day?
/ Ideclare TO goodness" he calculated.
sAnd q dozen Havana oranges
for dessert, and two pounds white
grapes aul some OF those delicious
little Naples biscuit and maccaroons

"A-which ,"
"A girl, you goose. For general
Homework. Phebe went home this
morning with faceacne, and L can't
be left alone with company coming
and all. Mind she's good cook
and understands waiting at table"
And Mr. Meredith rushed off to
catch the $50 express, with a ka-
leidescolic confusion of grapes,
zephyr. wool. depot hacks, oysters
and servant maids careering through
his brain, which boded ill for Mrs.
Meredith's domestic plans.
While that lady, clasping both
hands oyer her head in sort Of
tragic despair. rushed down into the
kitchen, where a very good looking
young man of two or three and
twenty was on his knees i'll front
of the range trying to coax a most
unwilling fire to burn.
"Well?" said he.

"Wen?" again remarked the
young nan with the soot-besmudg-

''Progidence must provide"
sighed the matron.
There's an old chintz-colored

The value OF wives varies in diff
ferent countries. In America they
are often expensive companions,
but in the higher regions of the river
Amar, and OH the Ussuri, in Siberia,
according to information furnished
to the British Scientific Association
by the Rev. Henry Lansdell, the
price of wife is eight to ten dogs,
a sledge or two cases of brandy. In
another part of the world according
to evidence furnished to the same
Association by Wilfred Powell, in
New Britain and the neighboring
,slands on the east coast of Guinea,
the wives are the absolute property
of their husbands, and ere bought,

dith, in amzement.
But l tell you. she is not com
mon kitchen girl.
Il do not believe in high life be-
low stairs" said his sister, disdain-
fully.
The lunch came up at 2:3O in
perfect order, but no cousin from
Philadelphia arrived, no hack roll
ed up ut the door.
How provoking!" said Kate.
"Miss Meredith must have missed
some connecting train. Charlie
will be SO vexed. But, however, 1
DO pot SO much mind company
coming in at any time, now that |
have got an excellent girl"
The dinner of delicately roasted
quails and rabbit fricasse, with a
dessert of custard and Jelly, was
duly served at precisely seven
o'clock, at which hour Ar. Mere
| dith bounced in, hot and flushed
with the haste he had made.
"Where is sfle??"
Where is whu9" cried Kate.
MY cousin from Philadelphia.
CON- she has not come"
''Not Gomez"
"No."
Mr.. Meredith drew a sigh of
mingled regret and relief.
'"Ihen, after all, it is not so very
unlucky!" said he.
"What is not SO unlucky? Ny
dear Charles, you are expressing
yourself entirely in riddles
That I forgot all about the oys-
ters and the zephyr wool, and the
servant girl"
"Forgot?'
"Yes-forgot. Isn't that plain
English?"
But you did not forget" re-
monstrated Mrs. Meredith. "You
sent her. She's here now, in the
kitchen"
MIR. Meredith started. 81 have
sent no one; never thought of the
girl from that moment to this, /
give yen my word of honor"
''Ihen who did send herr" eiacu-
lated his wife slowly. "Ring the
bell. Let us have her up. Who
knows but she is one of those con-
fdence women, with an eye to the |
forks and spoonsl"
As she spoke she jerked the bell |
cord with some energy. In min
ute or SO the new girl came up
courtesying.
MIR. Meredith uttered an exclama-
ton of astonishment.
'Whv, it is Martha Meredith"
shouted he. 1T is my cousin from
Philadelphia"
And he clasped her in his arms, /
with a shower of kisses which made
honest Toms hair stand on end.
81 wish she was my cousin from
Philadelphia" he uttered in stage
whisper, aside.
Kate turned scarlet.
''Oh, good graciousl" she cr ed,
clasping her little hands nervously.
"And L took her for cook |"

Martha Meredith, making her peace
with a kiss. DO not be vexed &C
