dresses. Where is Betsey, by the
way ?"
"Her father just carried her home
in the wagon" said Mrs. Dove. "She
broke her leg"
"And your charwoman ?"
"Oh, dear! oh, dear!'' said Mrs.
Dove.
"She got a visitation of the meas

rid disease in her family. And my
nephew Eric is to be gone for three
days; and I was sure l could finish
the house cleaning while he was ab-
sent"
"And we will, said Flora, cheerily.
"How can we?
"Oh, you shall see" nodded Miss
Lee.
And depressed though she was,
Mrs. Dove began to feel the mercury
rise in her mental thermometer at
once.
And Flora Lee arrayed herself in
one of Betsey's cast-of calicoes, tied
her rippled brown tresses up in a
cambria sweeping cap, and went
vigorously to work with a scrubbing
brush: bent her attention to the win
dow glass, and Adonjah, with more
zeal than discretion, splashed white

Mrs. Dove, however, was unused
to the severe exertions incident upon
house cleaning time, and went to bed
with sick headache, in the middle
Of the afternoon.
"Never mind, Mrs. Dove" said
Flora; '"I'll get tea, and I'll make
some of those cream waffles and a
short cake for Mr.. Dove, and you
shall see how nicely can fry oys-

"Indeed, indeed, I don't know
what l should do without you Florav'

Dove was unexpectedly detained on
business at Whiskill, neighboring
town, and instead of him who should
walk deliberately into the little sit

but Eric Hale himself, just as the
rainy dusk closed in, and the delic-
ious smell of oysters and Mocha coffee
filled the house.
"Hellow said Eric. $50 you are

1t is humiliatipg fact, and never

to say against the colonel; have great
admiration for the fidelity, integ rity
and honesty of the true

yield to the honest convictions of every

deeply to be regretted that the
learned aud hOnored gentleman
has taken the stand he has. The only
argument for this STEP he has, is "The

treasury department for admission at
the port OF New York of consign-
ment of rags shipped ut Marseilles In

was denied on the grounds that the
order prohibiting the entry of rags
from infected ports was imperative
and allowed no discretion.
