shrank back, till she was fairly hidden
behind her pOrtly aunt; so that that per-
formance was perforce pretermilted.
Mrs. Ford was rather scandallzpd at this
shyness; and eXpostulated, cOaXed, and
scolded, after the customary fashion on
such occasions. "Shame facedness was, -
she said, "Rachel's only fault, and she
believed the child could not help 1t. Her
uncle and cousins were as fond of her
as fond could be, hut she WAS afraid of
them all, and had never entered the shop
since there she had been. Rachel" she
added, twas singular in all her ways,
and never spent a farthing on apples or
ginger bread, thOuge she had brand
new six pence which her uncle had
given her for hemmng his cravats; she
believed that she was saving 1t to send
home"
One night as we were returning home
In the twilight from round of morning
visits, we perceived a sort of confusion
in the forge, and heard loud sounds of
scolding from within the shop, mixed
with bitter lamentations from without.
On nearer approach, we discovered
that the object in distress was an old ac-
quaintance, a young Italian boy. He
passed us almost every day. carrying
his tray full of images into every quarter
of the village. We had often wondered
how he could find vent for his COM
modities; but our farmers wives patron
lie that branch of art; and Stefano, with
his light firm step, his upright carriage,
his dancing eyes, and his broken English,
was universal favorite.
At present the poor boys keen Italian
features and bright dark eyes were dis
figured by crying; and his loud wailings
and southern gesticulatlons bore witness
to the extremity of his distress. The
cause of his grief was visible in the half
empty tray that rested on the window of
the forge, and the green parrot which lay
In fragments on the foOtpath. 1t ap-
peared that his youngest and favorite
son, william, had been chatting with
Stefano, for this Identical green parrot,
to present to Rachel, when mlschievous
lad, running along the road, had knocked
it from the window sill, and reduced it
to the state which we saw. So far was
mere misfortune; and undoubtedly if
left to himself our good neighbor would

LADY NAIRNE

In one of the wild hooks of heath land,
which are set so prettily amidst our
richly timoered valleys, stands the
cottage of Robert Ford, an industrious
and substantial blacksmith. There is a
striking appearance of dingy comfort
about the whole demesne, forming as it
does a sort of detached and isolated
territory in the midst of the uninclosed
common by which it is surrounded.
The inmates were also in excellent
keeping. Robert Ford, stout, middle
aged man, sooty and grim as a collier,
paced backward and forward between
the house and the forge with the step of
man of substance-his very leather
apron had an air of importance his
wife Dinah, a merry, cOmely woman, sat
at the open door, in an amplitude of cap
and gown and handkerchief, darning an
eternal worsted stocking, and hailed the
passer-by with the cheerful freedom of
one well to do in the world; and their
three sons, well-grown lads from sixteen
to twenty, were the pride of the village
for industry and good humour-to say
nothing of their hereditary love of
cricket.
Late in last autumn we observed an
addition to the family, In the person of a
pretty little shy lass of some eight years
old, fair, slim, small-boned child, with
delicate features, large blue eyes, soft
colour, light shining hair, and remark
able neatness in her whole appearance.
She seemed constantly busy, either sit
ting on low stool by Dinah's side at
needle-work, or gliding about the
kitchen, engaged in some household en-
ployment-for the wide open door gen
orally favoured the passengers with full
view of the interior, from the fully
stored bacon-racked to the nicely swept
hearth; and the little girl, if she per
celved herself to be looked at, would slip
behind the clock-case, or creep under
the dresser to AVOID notice. Mrs. Ford.
when questioned as to her new inmate,
said that she was her husbands niece,
the daughter of younger brother, who

FASHIONS IN UMBRELLAS.
Not only are umbrellas fashionable at
this season of the year but we even feel a
certain amount of pride and protection
when we have one. They are no mere
caprice of Dame Fashion; they are the
result of the elements of the universe
which cause the rain to fall upon our
otherwise defenseless heads. But even
such an everyday, commonplace thing as
an umbrella has style which is correct
and style which is Incorrect. A med
ium-sized umbrella is the only one which
should be used, the small ones being i'm
practicable, and the large ones inconven-
lent, unless for family use. But the size
