J. Singleton, Esq, is beginning to feel
life hard. His bronzed face appearing
above his breakfast cup looks quite pale.
What demon has put it into his head that
he was tired of travel and would like to
settle down In "Merrie England" so mis-
called
The settling down is proving too much
tax for any man--who has no woman to
defend him. The house, of course had
been easy TO get-but people to look after
the house had not been SO easy: and yet
how many there were who seemed eager
to tackle it. But such people, Well,
thank heaven. matters seem TO be on the
mend at last. The housekeeper, who
arrived last night, appears all she ought
TO be, really agreeable person, If tribe
nervous And even awkwardness would
be better than the abominable assurance of
those who have already presented them
selves as cooks, housekeepers housemaids,
parior-maids, and of all OF them the last
class were decidedly the most impossible.
Now the housekeeper, Mrs. Brierton,
evidently woman in thousand, looks,

them, have often to undertake things of
this sort nowadays Well. he Will see

ordinary looking parlor-maid seems to have

the first time, but now il did occur to him
that she has not once addressed him as

she is growing even whittier and that her
eyes are filing with tears
