KITTY CRAIG.
Kitty Craig was just married ; shed
the white satin and ll.eey lase, la which
oho had hooked so mmol like an angel
that her gnat, handsome giant el a
Mahood hardly dared to touch her, was
folded and pocked sway its one of the
trunks which cloud to the hat waiting
the arrival of the express waggon whish
was to take them to the train. And
Kitty in her travelling -dress looked ie -

than she had in all tbet •liven of leo•,
and satin and lowers, which had cost w
ready, and hal in foe insisted wpm the
white satin and soiree of things which
her asuther predicted she would never

white catio was for the ptmnhle party
which might be give* for her by sane of

had it all marked out in her naiad jell
what she should wear on difiereat oo-
Caltons, and knowing bet little of the

e tt happy accordingly.
They wen not to board ; John had
had enough of that, and felt sick every

the money left hon by hia uncle, and in
the abet nee of other feminine advice hal
ventured to ask Mrs Lottie to 'drive
round some day and see if it would do.'
There was a slight elevation of L•,tt e's
eye -brows and • look of surprise at the
boldness of the young man, and then
thinking within herself, '1 have talked
with him so much about music that I
dareesy he thinks he can take liberties,'
the lady graciously signified her readiness
to oblige. But mho found it very incon-
venient to go the day John find upon,
very inconvenient. in fact, to go any
day, and at last sent her maid, 'who had
nits,' as she had hitherto bees, she *squint. taste,' and who reported 'every -

out of town, they came one night to the

Susan, the maid of all work, hired in

stood waiting to greet them. John's

remarked to him once v reply to some -

that he hopedwould she and his wife wld see
a great deal of

And be did hope aa, though sewed,
he felt doubtfd with reseed to the mat-
ter. Still, he meant to du hie best for
the little lady whom he liked so mush,
and after his coffee was drink and his
paper finished, and he had eoosgl1ed
cautiously a few tinea, be began :
`By tl. way, Lottie, John Craig has
brought his wits to the city, and they
are keeping tome ui, in Fifty-seventh
street. I've dined with them several
time! '
'Ah -h !' and Lotriis great black eyes
looked across the table wonderingly.
'Yee, and it's a jolly phos, too ; so
home -like sod nice. and Kit—Mrs. Craig
I uncut, is very pretty.'
'Indeed !' and Lottie was interested
'I did not suppose Mr. Craig able
to support very much style, but, perhaps
it was the pretty wife which took you'
there
'It certainly was not style, but rather
the aliaetiom of it which pleased me se
much,' the husband replied. 'It is a
little nut -shell of a house. You could
almost pot the whole of at in end of our
parlours, and they keep but one servant,
a perfect gem, who makes the nicest
kind of apple pie and ginger -snap. I
say, Lottie, why don't we ever have such
things 1 They are a thousand times bet-
ter than enekTreuch dishes you get up
for dessert,'
Lottie .twill derisively, but her voice
was very sweet and pleasant as she
✓ id:
'I hardly think Celine is accomplished
to the extent of apple pie and ginger-
snaps.'
Amass felt the rebuke and wondered
at his temerity iu expecting anything so
common front • cook, whose name was
Celine, and who sumuttmes took the title
of Madame.
As yet he had made no headway with
regard to the all, and w at last be blurt-
ed it out, and told Mrs. Lottie plainly
that he wished her to tall on Mrs. Craig
and show her some attention.
'She is a lady, every whit,' he said,
'and pretty, too, and intelligent, and
well—yes—she rather expects you to
tall, and she would like to see a little of
New York society, and she don't know a
single soul, and its lonesome for her, and
you can show her some attention without
hurting you one bit, inn I hope you will
do it.'
He had said a great deal more than
he intended saying, fur something in
Lottii s proud eyes exasperated him,and
without waiting fur her to answer he left
the breakfast -room suddenly, and hia
wife heard the bang of the street door as
it shut behind him.
'Expects me to coil and show her some
attention ' How absurd,' she said to her-
seU, as she went back to her roots. 'She
cannot be much accustomed to the usages
of society if she soppxoses I am to call en
every clerk who happens to get married.
Why, my list is w large now that I am
nearly crazy, and .1 certainly shall not
add Mrs. John Craig's name to it.
Apple pie and ginger snaps, and one
servant ! Poor John ! He was • nice
kind of a fellow, and ought to have been

And then Lottie fell into a St of mus-
ing as to what might have been, had
Joon been rich instead of poor. The

You school, and entered it.art and soul
into the work, and found fast friends
among the ragged girls and boys, who
luukd upon her as a kind of divinity.
From the sewing society, however, she
shrank at first, dreading to enoounter w
many strangers ; but when she heard
what need there was for help, she laid
aside her own personal feelings and went
week after week, mostly from a sense of
duty, and • little, it may be, with a hope
that by some chance she might come to
know those with whom she worshipped
Sunday after Sunday, and with whom
she had more than unca knelt around the
chancel on communion days.
And there, in the little sewing -room
of Sr.. 's she sat, one Thursday
morning, se much aloe° as if around her
there were not twenty ladies or mem
talking socially together, and all unmind-
ful of the stranger in the midst, poor
little Kitty, who actually started in sur-
prise when she heard herself addressed
by a pleasant -faced, elderly woman, who
.at near her, and who seemed herself to
be • stranger.
'Con you tell me who that i. 1' she
asked, nodding toward n young and
dashing -looking lady, who sat near them
talking and laughing merrily, and show-
ing in all she did that she felt herself a
privileged character, and could do and
say what she pleased.
Kitty, too, had been wetcbing her,
and taking notes of the cut of her dream
and style of her hair, but she did not
know who she was, and she said so to
her interlocutor; thea, as if the wend of
a voice speaking kindly to her upon some
other topic than her work hal unlocked
her pent-up feelings, she continual :
'1 do not know anyone. I have been
hers week after week, too, and not a
person has spoken to me except about
my work.'
'Is it possiblo 1—and they will call
themselves Christians, tato,' was the re-
ply of the wo;nan, who having once pass -
.d a similar ordeal, knew just how deso-
late and neglected Kitty felt.
Meantime there was s hill in the con-
versation of the Wise at the right, and,
as Kitty's voice was very clear, her
words were distinctly beard by one of
the group, at least. Stiffly the proud
black eyes scanned Kitty's face and per-
son, and then, as if continuing an inter-
rupted conversation. the lady said loud-
ly .Dough for Kitty to hear :
'There is one thing this society needs,
aad that is a committee,whose bushiness it
shall be to look after the new-comers—
the sensitive ones, who feel slighted if
they are not noticed --and introduce
them, you know.'

thought, seemed a little sorry.
And John was ,lorry that onem young

A withering glance from Lottii s eyes
. naiad Ira Agatha,; while Latin's
throb-
bed• were scarlet, and her pulse throb-
bfaster than use its wont. She was
not naturally bard and cruel, and Rivse
to wounding people unnecessarily. She
professed to be a Christian ; perhaps she
was tine She certainly was very rigid
n
with regard to all the faanti holy days,
and Do religiooes devotee kept Lent, so
far as church -going was concerned, more
strictly than she did ; _but she bad been
lied nd trained in the school of fash-
ion and casts until many of her better
impulsesimpulawere warped and deformed, and
she sometimes did things thoughtlessly,of which she relented afterward. Bear-
ing the reputation of being exceedingly
exclusive, she had no idea of inviting in -
Ito her charmed circle any who wished to
eater, and deemed it her duty to shut
and bar Sho doors against all intruders,
especially if she felt that the intruder
had some claim upon her. Soo, wl:en
she overheard Kitty's complaint, a:.d
felt iu her heart that not only herself
but many of her sisters in the church
• sadly remiss in their reception of
strangers, she said what she did, in a
sodden fit of impatience that any one
should expect to make her acquaintance
at a sewing society. But she had no
idea it was Kitty Craig whom sloe .:.a
lashing so unmer..tfuly, ant she wouiJ
have given considerable for the privilege
of recoiling her thoughtless words. But
it was too late ; the mischief was done,
and Kitty was gone, and, ea is frequent-
ly nt-
ly the se when we are conscious of bav-
iag injured a person in any way, Lottie,
after the first pangs of self reproach was
over, found herself with a greater avers-
ion than ever to that 'nut -shell of a
house' which might be 'put in her par-
lor,' and Kitty's chancee for an acquain-
tance with Mrs. as
Ams Steele were far
less than before. 'A rat among oats '
she eertainiy was, and she felt it keenly
as she walked home, with Lottie's scorn-
ful words ringing in her ears and making
her heart throb w painfully.
'The sensitive ones, who feel slighted
if they are not noticed.'
Hatt it really come to this, that she
was thus designated 1—she who at home
No, thank you ; that u not in my
line. I've no patience with people who
wish to make the sewing society a step-
ping -atone to other society. I came (rpm

minded person should c'o the same ; and
main the black eyes looked sidewise at
pc.or Kitty, who could hardly restrain
her tears, and who would have orifi out-
right had she been alone, with no curi-
ous ones around her.
Jest then there was • fresh arrival,
and the new -Domer greeted her of the
black eyes with the exclamation :
'Why, Lottie Steele --it's an ail• since

she was wrong, and toward Lottie Steele
she might feel a, kindly as before. Kit-
