Toward autumn little Madame Bruyald
began to grow weak. There was no change
visible, for she had long been SO thin and
emaclated that she could no longer lose
nesh ut was only that she had tainted
several times when carrying heavy loads
up the steep kitchen stairs. She herself
never spoke ofit, but the children noticed
that she often put her hand to her heart as
If it panied her. But that mother should
be unwell and for once not prepared to do
anything and everything for them all was
something so remarkable and unbeard Of
as to be almost incredible. Bruvald noticed
nothing, except that it often happened
lately that he had to wait for his coffee
and his pipe, which he took in bed in the
morning. On such occasions he did not
look amiable. What on earth could DOS
sess her? Could she have anything to
think Of besides his comfort? But little
Madame Bruvald was weak and exerted
herself no longer. One evening she stood
ironing Bruvalds shirts. It had been an
unpleasant day bill for taxes had been.
presented. Bruvald had fairly snarled at
her, and had been as cross as an old tom
cat when she went up to his office in the
afternoon with his coffee. Down in the
kitchen Maa sat with her apron over her
head and cried. She had been promised a
new dress, and now the money was used
to pay taxes. Little Madame Bruvald
stood just before the window with a lamp
in her hand. 1t was dark and stormy
without, and the window had no curtains.
AS she put the lamp down she saw her re-
Election in the window. Her cheeks looked
hollow and she was SO pale. Suddenly a
wild, uncomfortable desire to throw herself
out Of the window came over her; to jump
to the ground and run away; only to get
away from everything, from herself, from
life. She only recovered when she smeled
something burning. She had burned the
bosom of one Of Brrvald'S shirts. The
same evening she tainted again, and next
day she did not get up.
This came to Bruvald as a surprise, as
an encroachment on his personal comfort.
The whole house was upset; no one knew
where to find that, or to place this. But
little Madame Bruvald remained in bed all
of that day and the following ones She
was alone in her room for the greater part

The rambling CORES pondent of the Port

dinner station. and is town of about 1000
population. She has enjoyed steady in-
crease during the past year, the Assessors
roll showing about eighty families more than
the year before. Some new buildings have
been erected: the general appearance of the
town is very good, the streets being wile
and sidewalks high and dry. and in excellent
condition. The merchants are doing very
encouraging business. Long credits are not
given as much as formally. aud the cash sya-

dence OF Mr.. D p Mason on last Friday
evening. So many boys and girls and
young men and women We have rarely
seen together in Albany. II was ful! OF
lifsfrom the beginning. Instead OF play
ing wall flower, games were played from
the very start: bag tossisg, monopolist,
pilgrims progress, checkers. jack straws,
soap bubble making, cake and fruit crush
ing. ETC., Everybody had something t.
do. The rooms fairly glittsred with spar
kiss of enjoyment aud soap bubbles. II
was the kind OF socials We need. Precon-
csrted arrangements for the enjoyment
of con pany substantially carried cut,
are sure, moro than anything else, to
make an evenings entertainment COM

young friends, particularly, are entitled to
much credit in this case for the way in
which they managed things.
