"Bc sure and do all you can to please
her." said Mrs. Mushroom to her
daughter 1--WE are the nearest rela-
lives she has, and if you play your cards
well she will be likely to leave you the
greater part OF her property. | don't
know what we shall do ii she doesn't,
for we have been going beyond our in
come ever since you came out.
SO Sarah Belinda did her best to Sc
cure the good opinion of Aunt Sally,
consoling herself for this forced COM
paisancc by ridiculing her peculiartics
of words and manner to her face. which
the old lady's deafness enabled her to
do with impunity.
This exhibition OF wit and good
breeding, while it often brought smile
to her mothers lips, aroused the secret
indignation of Ellen button, who grew
daily more and more interested in the
kind-h hearted though eccentric old lady.
One dav Mrs. Mushroom and her
daughter went out to make some calls,
leaving Aunt Sally in the care of Ellen.
find Mr.. Morton in the parlor, young
man of wealth and position, and for
whom Sarah Belinda had been angling
though unsucccSsfully, for some months
Dear me, MAJ whispered that
young lady; ''what will Mr.. Morton
think to find that we have such vulgar
relations. And he so fastidious and ex-
clusiveW
In the meantime, Mr.. Morton, who
seemed to have had very pleasant
chat with Aunt Sally and Ellen, rose to
take his leave.
Mrs Mushroom followed him to the
door

voice Aunt Sally, as we call her. is n
distant relative. She's good old soul,
but so odd and quite unused to the

"No apology is needed madam" re-
turned the young man with look OF
surprise; "rve often heard my father
speak of Mrs. Hooker, who was very
kind to him once when he had an attack
of fever am very glad to meet her."
"A fine young man," said Aunt Sally,
rs Mrs. Mushroom returned to the other
end of the room, land very like his
father"
II can guess who he comes to see"
she added, with sly look at Ellen.
This observation completed the sum
Of Sarah Belinda's Miniature. especially
as she was conscious that Ellen was
looking unusually pretty; the bright
color in her generally pale cheeks and
sad eye, giving her new beauty.
"Bold-faced thing" she muttered;
"she aud Aunt Sally are just of piece.
/ do wish the old fool would go home;
haven't taken bit of comfort since she
came"
Apparently quite oblivious to this
benevolent wish, Aunt Sally began to
admire some lace and white satin rib
bons she had been buying.

I've been wanting for cap"
Just think of her yellow face in any
thing so dclicate,' said Sarah Belinda
with a gigglc. ut would look like n
full blown sunflower."
Aunt Sally happened to be looking
that way rs she said this.
Perhaps her suspicious were aroused.
What did she say" she enquircd of
Ellen.
Ellen colored and remained silent.

"Why don't you speakP" said Mrs.
Mushroom sharply, rs the old lady re-
peated the question.
The face of the usually gentle and
quiet girl flushed with Indignation.
