A FORMAL CALL.

A knock comes at my door as L sit
alone in my room, sewing; and before
can say, "Come inp a little voice
says warningly, "I'm not Barbara.
mama; I'm Mrs Martin"
Whereupon I say, aOh! Well,
come in, Mrs Martin. And MRS
Martin"(as little Barbara often calls
herself)en
She wears over her night-gown a
white blanket coat with blue stripes,
and upon her bare feet are blue wor-
sted slippers.
She shakes hands with me very de.
murely, and, seating herself in her it
tie chair at my feet, remarks that sit
is very rainy day"

wet but she says "No," with shake
of her yellow curls-that she wore her
weather coat!
"Won't you move closer to the fire,
Mrs. Martin, and get warm ?" ] ask
Hospitality.
aYes," says Mrs. Martin, with a
sudden return to realism, "but | don't
see any fire hera!n
"Well pretend my sewing-table is
the fire" ! suggest.
"Oh, yes; SO we will" answers Mrs.
Martin, holding her feet very near the
imaginary blaze.
"Well, Mrs. Martin" say briskly,
whats the news at your house ?"
"The news isis, I've been read
ing book"
"Indeed ?-and what is the name of
the book ?"
aThe name is-'Cloris Chander,
and it tells about a man who dances
jig.a-maree for roast beefrs
This bold stroke Of fancy is too
much for even Mrs. Martins stilted
gravity, and she laughs merrilY.-
"That must be a very strange story,
Mrs. Martin. Have you read any

"I'm sorry for that, Mrs. Martin.
How does it happen ?"
"Well, / have no cook SO | have to
cook and cook all day My cook has
gone away"
II hope she will come back soon,
Mrs. Martin" I say feelingly.
"No, she will not come till Thanks

the way cook does!"
"Oh, indeed, Mrs. Martin, And
howldo you make your bread :"
. I put til bowel, and roll and roll
it around"
"Yes. but what do you put in it? :"
WE'LL" says Mrs. Martin,'T put
some-some : water, and-and not
sugar, sugar is not good for my child

spinach"
This is SO unexpected that | cannot
help laughing; and this vexes Mrs.
Martin, who suddenly changes back
into Barbara to reprove me.
NO, mama, you must not laugh.
Spinach makes good bread-very
good !"
I hasten to make my peace: "Oh,
excuse me, Mrs. Martin; you see |
never heard Of that way before, that's
all" Then, changing the subject,
"How hard it rains !! I fear the roads
are very bad fer walking"
"Yes," said Mrs. Martin, "but will
send for my horse and carriage to take
me home. ! have three strong horses,
and they can take me home as well as

Just then faint clatter Of china is
heard in the next room, the nursery

hostess. September St. Nicholas.

SERIOUS FIRE.


On Monday night, about an hour af-
ter the adjournment of the water
works meeting. in which the need of Il
more ample protection against fire was
discussed, cry of fire broke out in our
quiet streets. Flames were seen
bursting out of the large barn of Mr.
Frahk Hansberger, which was com.
llet-ly enveloped in flames in 4 few mo-
ments after its discovery. Fortunate>
~, those FIRST arriving ON the scene
were able to cut the horses in the barn
loose from their stalls and drive them
out before the flames reached them.
Three cows were also saved from the
peril so that no live stock, except few
chickens, were lost in the fire. There
was lot Of machinery stored in the barn
portion Of which was drawn out of the
building, with more or less breakage,
or damage by the heat, after it was
gotten out. The chief loss was that of
the building, and of the large stock of
bal+d hay stored in it. A large part
of it was owned by J. T. Fisher, of the
Worthington Hotel, which was pro-
tected by insurance to the amount of
ST. 900. MIR. uansberger had 800 in
surance on the building, but none on
his other prope ~ His loss e. in
surance will not be less than ST 500 to
$4,000. AS to the origin of the fire
