"She never would. But look At her. Nine years ago, when she was .n trried, she was a lively sunbeam, so bre flit and pretty. Now, pale, quiet an reserved, her voice is seldom heard, her smile seldom seen. A wintry shadow of her former brightness ! Nuw she has broken. You have never seen her at home, but surely when she is here you s.•e the change." "Yes, dear she has cion ; hut family cares—" "Has Louie changed sol She ha. been twelve years married.

She took all the household etre, and had - awlkily. But au hour later, loading a' k of dust w the flitting-rioa, tis declared empitatisally .it waa wet It ter a pig to bee in." Coming iuto it nest morning he found the curtains torn down, the carpets takeu up, the floor littered with pails, soap and brushes, and Lina in a dismal dress, her hair tied up in a towel, directing two women, scrubbing rigorously. "Good gracious ! What are you doing 1" "Cleaning the room." "Why, Easie had the whole "house cleaned till it shone, in the fall, and didn't make half the muss," he added contemptuously. "Well, said Lina slowly, "I thought this room a marvel of neatness, but when you skid it was not fit for pigs, I supposed you wanted it cleaned." "Thu room was well enough," was the curt reply. "For heaven's sake don't turn any more of the house upside down." At breakfast a tiny tear in Louie's apron caught her father's eye, and his own angry statement, "she never had a decent stitch of clothes, and he did wish somebody would see to her" Two days later a formidable dry goods bill was presented at the store, and Lina explained it in this wise, "You said, Herbert, that Louie hadn't a decent stitch, and you wished sone• body would see to her, so I bought a complete outfit. I could not see any fault myself, but of course I goat inure expensive articles, as you did not like those provided. I ani glad you ca'.led my attention b. the pons neglected child.".

And you tell me now she hu never fail- ed to do her duty to you. There is a grave error somewhere. The sadly earnest tune, the face of thoughtful gravity, sent every word home to Herbert Worthington's heart. He spoke no word of self detest, as Lina slowly lett the room. In the pro- found silence that followed, conscience reviewed the past, and he knew that his sister had spoken only the truth. 'Phis habit of fault-finding meeting nu resis- tenoe to Essie's gentleness, had gained in force, till all its monstrosity stood re- vealed in the experience of the past month. In the days when Elsie lay dangerous- ly ill, there had been no self-reproach like this in hor husband's sorrow. He had given his wife a fair home, an ample income, frequent social pleasure many costly gifts, and loved her faithfully, while poisoning her whole life. "God help me," he whispered, "to conquer this fault- Elsie shall heir no more fault-finding, I will send for her and let Lina return to her home." Never had wife and' mother & warmer welcome than greeted Elsie. The child- ren were unchecked in their loudest de- monstrations of delight. But Lins had to rush into the hall to hide her merry eyes, when Herbert, kilsiii Elsie, said: "We must let pother have Lino now• dear. She has been very kind, and worked hard for my comfort; but'there is no hone fairy like niy Elsie." The quick, -glad look in his wife's soft eyes told Herbert that one step had been taken in the right direction. As the days glided by, and Essie found ap- preciation meeting every effort to add to home comfort, a word of praise for every little triumph of cookery or needle work, her pale face grew bright with untold happiness. Gradually the careworn ex- pression was obliterated by one of sweet content, and Herbert found his own heart lightened by the cheerful voice, the sunny smile, the bright eyes of the Esaie he had wooed years before.' Lina made a visit six months later, and on her return, told her mother "Herbert had learned his lesson by heart. He appreciates Elsie now at her true value, and lets her know it.' five children, and pet Louie hal g.tined .I tonished Herbert.

The arimtocrasy of ants seem to have all the vias which broug1.1 antique aton- srchies to destruction. Bir John writes soberly, as a philosopher should, and weighs his words no doubt, which makes his conclusions the more astonishing. The author quotes some of Haber's ex- periments, the value of which he has himself tested. The bloated ant aristo- crats, it is said. "have lost the greater part of their instincts; their art, that is, the power of building; their domestic habits, for they show no care fur their young, all this being done by the slaves; their industry, for they take no part in providing the daily supplies; if the colony changes the situation of its nest, the musters are all carried by the slaver on their backs to the new one; nay, they have even lost the habit of feeding. Huber placed thirty of therm with some larvae and pupee and a supply of honey in a box. "At first,'' he says, "tl.ey appeare' to pay some little attention to the larvae; they carried thein here and there, but preseutly replaced thele. More than one-half of the Amazons Jietil of hunger in less than two days. They had not even traced out a dwelling; and the few ants still in existence were lan- guid and without strength. I com- miserated their condition, and gave thorn ono of their black companions. The in- dividual, unassisted, established ,•rear, fortned a chamber is the earth, gather- ed together the line, extracted several young ants that were ready to quit this condition of pupae, and preserved the life of the remaining Amazons. ' This observation has beeu fully confirmed by other naturalists. However atnall the prison, however large the quantity of food; these stupid creatures will starve in the midst of plenty rather than feed themselves. . . I have, howeve r, kept isolated specimens for three months by giving them a slave fur an hour or two a day to clean at d feed them; under these circumstances they remained in perfe.t health, while, but for the slaves, they would have perished in two or three days." tor leeward F'ES11 L offered , or am 0A00of C.tt.trrb flirt ' r l with f3s11 • Cigar' Core. n,ternally.
