An Important Letter, Three Bro

IT was when postage stamps were
three cents apiece, and eggs twelve and
and a half cents dozen, that Mr..
Higgins, the proprietor of the little
country store at Elkton, sat at his high
desk one dreary afternoon, with his
head studiously bent over his book,

Mr.. Higgins slowly lifted his eyes
from the big book, to look for the small
speaker below them.
Ii was mite of a girl, not more than
six years old, who held letter in one
hand and with the other tightly grasped
her apron gathered together for the
safe keeping of three eggs lying within.
Mr.. Huggins' senses had been so alb
sorbed in the difficulties of his long sum
in addition, that it was several moments
before he could recall them and bring
them down to level with the little
head lifting itself eagerly up to him;
but reaching out his hand mechanically,
he took the letter, and supposing he

the little girl incautiously opened her
apron, when, alas, with a pip! pip! pip
as though they were kissing each other a
hasty good-by, out rolled the eggs,
and with a smash! smash! smash
lay on the floor, Il medley of gold and
silver, and ivory shells!

senger stood silent with dismay, and
