@You haven't heard the truth then.
said my daughter-in-law My hus-
bands mother is a very fine woman in
every respect. But when my husband
told her suddenly that he was going to
marry a girl she never saw, she was
naturally startled, and said some things
about me, knowing / was fresh from
boarding school and no hOusekeeper,
that offended Gregory, and so there
has been an estrangement. 1 think
my dear husband a little to blame, and
I have urged him dozen times to go
and see her. He is very fond Of her,
and thinks no one like her In many
things; but his temper is up, and it
viii take time to cool it; meanwhile, I
feel quite sure if she knew me she
would like me better. Perhaps that
is a piece of vanity, but I should try to
make her, you know, and I won't fall
into absurd superstitiOns that a woman
must hate her mOther-in-law. I can't
remember my own mother, and Greg
ory's certainly would seem to come
next to her. Now you have the story,
Mrs. Switzer."
81 am sure it does you credit, and
the old lady ought to be ashamed of
herself"
daughter-in-laW then and there, but
that would have spoiled my fun, so
after that I sewed hard and didn't say
much, and together we finished the
pretty silk dress, and had Just finished
it when a key in the door caught both
our ears.
"That is my husband, said my
daughter-in-law; and I knew it was
Gregory. Up stairs he came, two steps
at a time, opened the door, and looked
at us with bright smile on his face.
"This is as it should be. Fanny,
shall kiss mother first this time"
And he put his arms around us both,
but Fanny gave little scream.
ooh. Gregory what are you about ?
This is Mrs. Switzer, who is making
my dress. At least, I have thought
so all day"
"My DEAR" said I, give played a
little trick on you. or rather let you
play one on yourself, but you've turned
out as good as gold. 1 could not get
you to say a word against the old lady.
1 am GregOry's mother, my dear, and
yours, too, if you'll call me so.
Indeed I will, said the dear girl,
"but have kept you sewing hard all
day. You see, 1 was expecting a Mrs,
Switzer, and T."
We've been all the more sociable
for that, my dear, said I, "and Pm
glad it happened. I've been very fool
ish all the while, and Gregory has
chosen a better wife for himself than
I could have done"
And so think to-day, for L believe
there never was a better woman than
Gregory's wife Fanny.

The collection box in a certain Scotch
church was found empty. The minis
ter thereupon joined Tam, the kirk
officer, in his hOmeward walk after ser
vice, and Iamented to him that he
would have to do thing he did not
like, which was Gust to raise the
deevil, and he'll come to the man that
took that money, either in wind
that'Il no leave him leaf nor sheaf, or
WI a rope to hang him over his own
door" The kirk officer made no reply.
The next night the minister sent a man
over to Tam's barn to hang a rope with
a moose at the end of 1t on the door.
Tam came down to thresh; but, seeing
the moose and his own shadow on the
wall, he rushed back to bed and re-
NAMED there till daylight. When he
returned the rope was gone. He was
shortly afterward seen proceeding to
the kirk; and when the box was opened
next Sabbath every missing penny was
found inside.
