In one Of her visits to Scarborough.
Mrs Wharton, with her usual econ

which she directed the footman to con-
Vey to the bake-house. This the man
declined 10 do. as not belonging to his
place, or rather as derogatory to his
consequence. The lady then moved
the question to the coachmaE. but
found still stronger objection.
To save the pride Of both. Mrs.
Wharton resolved to take the ME To
the shop herself She ordered one man
TO harness and bring out the borses
and the other to mount and ride behind
and thus the errand was done with
all honor and ceremony. Then In due
time the coachman was ordered to nut
to second time. and the footnan to
mount behind. and Mrs. Wharton
brought back the pie in the same dig
nified state.
Now" said the lady to the COACH
man. "you have kept your place. which
is to drive; and you yours" to the
footman. which is to wait: and I
mine. which is to have my pie for din

bright and fierce as two Goals Of fire.
