SETH'S COURTSHIP.

NOU are the torment of my life, Seth
Smith. What under the sun, moon
and stars are you forever poking about
my kitchen for ?" and the speaker, a
pleasant-faced serving woman, looked
up from the pumpkin she was sitting,
which quite belied the severity of her
words.
" You mean Miss Caroline's kitch-
en-" said Seth with grin, as he seated
himself by the pine table, which he had
been heard to say was whittier and shini-
er than Deacon Browns bald head, and
considerable more wholesome look

I" rather think you know, Huld alb,
why 1 stick round in this ere way" he
continued; land If you really want me
to tell you the story over again, am

ing an unnecessary racket with her
sieve against the side of her milk pan.

amt got no time to listen to stories"
Seth grinned again, and without stop
ping to reply, though his great mouth
was eloquent with words, which Huldah
might have seen had she looked at him,
were only postponed-arose and did as
he was bid. Mechanically and abstract
edly,he threw piece after piece of the dry,
split wood into the oven, until Huldah,
alarmed at the blaze which shot from its
mouth, thrust him quickly to one side,
and with long poker, separated the
burning mass.
Well, 1 should like to know, Seth
Smith," she exclaimed, as she finished,
''what you wor doing? Ask a man to
help you, and if he don't set the house
a-fire, 'tain't his fault
"You're more scared than hurt, HUI
dah," Seth replied cody. "What shall
do now-stir the pumpkin for you ?"
"No, you won't do anything of the
Sort" his companion answered. IF
there's one thing that L hate above
another, it's to have man fussing

"More shame for you,' replied HUI
dab. "There wasn't anybody to blame
but yourself if you did, for you know
that I'd come over and made 'em for
you. All that wanted was an invita-
tion."
"Why, I've in vited you hundreds of
times to come and stay" said Seth, in
that same pathetic manner.
"Well, suppose you have" was the
irritated response. ~ should like to
know how you think Miss Caroline
would get along without me? I've
been in this kitchen good many years,
Seth Smith, and the folks that 1 served
are all gone now, 'cept Miss Caroline,
and wouldn't give her the slip for
hundred men, no, not for thousand !
So you can put that in your pipe and
smoke it quick as you're mind to-"
