I ;amen, of °warm, to the people who hays given the party—espeolally when, like my uncle and aunt, their are of quietgoing habits and moderate means, and mut let their gueets dame hi the dialog -resin and have supper in the biggest bed -room. It was the day after the party, and every individual be the house waa naiserablo, The days borer° the party had not been remarkable for comfort, but they at /east had been tinged 'with the radiance of hope at d bright anticipation, while now nothing weinained but " dregs and bitterness," and to elan away and get the houee into order ,again. Thia werdd have seemed rather a dreary teak in any circumstanced, I dare eay ; but it was greatly aggravate el by the fact that we were all in very low splrite, or, te put it honestly, in dreadfully bad tempera, having each and al/ a epecial grievance ef our own. My uncle's household consisted of him- aelf and my aunt, Mn and *Mrs. Gibe; their twe sone, Christopher and Peter, 'their two daughters, Lottie and 5ephy, and myself, Meg Merton the orphan ieaughter of my aunt's only sister. My mother had died when I was eight years eld, and my tether, vyleese habits were by no means of a domestic hind, sent me to school, and allweed me te teemed all my holidays at my aunts ; and, vtnen he died and my achool days were over, my temperary home became a permanent one. This came to pass quite naturally, and was taken aa a matter of course by my kind- hearted cousins ; and aunt Charlotte, who had always regardedmo as ene of her own children, never menaed to suppose that she was conferring any pertionler favour upon me by giving me a happy home amenget them all. But 1 appreciatee it, and en. deaveured to prove my gratitucie in every way portable. I was eider than Lottie and Sophy, and left seheel before they did; and I became very aseful In the home. Aunt Charlotte was ef a nervous thnid nature, and, as I happened to be golf- possemed and ceel and decided, she soon cern, to rely entirely en my judgment and , energy ; and in a year or two I was house- keeper -ha -chief, and my advice was asked and pretty generally taken en mattere bath small and great—indeed " Meg's advice " became proverbial in the hounhold. Natimally I grew a little dictatorial, for I, often wonaered what they could have done without me. Chris wee the only ene I could net manage. "Bully the ethers as much as you like,' he wruld say, "but you shall never bully me ;" and somehow or ether I never felt Inclined to try. "Tiffe " occurred amongst us now and then ; but, en the whole, we were a very happy family until the day after the party, when, as I have said, we were each and all miserable, My uncle was confined to his room with a bilious attach, where he lay groaning and anathematising "that cham- pagne." My aunt looked very haggard when she firat came down in the morning, and mid her head aohed badly; and her appearance did net brighten as she and I inyestigated the state of the crockery, et ccetera. "1 ebail never give a party again," she said quietly, but it was the quietness of deeper. "Nine champagne gleeses broken, two ;sherries, and three of the best china plates, and a great stain on the drawing. room carpet! We might have been enter- tairie g a tat ef barbarians Christopher and Peter, usually the most affectionate of brother; were now not en apeakieg terms with each ether, as my aunt and I at bre/Wan-time ; and, instead of going to business together, Peter linger. ed until Chris had gone, and then started about five minutes afterwards. This ma- friendlinese arose, as I well knew, because of a stylish disagreeable London belle, whom some friends of ours had brought with them to the party, and whe had flirted deeperately, but with maddening impartiality, with both my deluded cousins. Hence their coldness towards each other this morning. As for Lottie and Sophy, I wished, before the day was ent, that they were not on speak, Ing terms, for they were nagging at each ether all the time and finished just before dinner with a downright spitefui quarrel; and aunt Charlotte cried. Their grievance was about two brothers Tom and Harry Newill ; for Lottie liked Harry beet, and Sophy liked Tom ; and, with the usual oon- trariness of mankind, Harry was desperate- ly in leve with Sophy and Toni with Lottie; se it was usual, after every merry- making we might have, for Lottie and Sophy tofall out abeat them, I felt vexed with everybody ; batI think I was quite aatiefied In befog se, for they would all persht Itt believing—or saying they Willey- ed—that 1 was in love with ridiculous John Howarth just because he happened to be in love %with MO, and took care that every one ehould knew he was to!

"Now don't you two begin quarreling," said Saphy impatiently, "But let Meg tell as about Mr. Howarth.

A Lon7 Sleep. Endoxie Adelautn, ;he 'sleeper of the Sal. petriare, has awoke from her long sleep, which was continued, without a moment'a interruption, for nineteen days. She had had a slamber of fitty days early in the year In the hospital where Mao is now, and has been for many years. While the was on both emasions sleeping relays of medical men kept watch by her bedoide, &me hours before her second period ef eoranolence ended she elm wed great nervous agitation often started, and had intertnittent fits of trembling, She at length opened her eyes in the meta of loud laugh- ter, vvhieh continued for abaut ten minutes. During that time she attired fixedly and appeared, although laughing so hard, as if under oeme initial apprehension, Then Mao spoke as if o'ae wore addroming her Mother, who was not with her, in an endearing reuniter, and on being handed, a glees amid the only eaw her mother% image ila it.

Thus if she is given aloes, and told it is sugar, she will mallow it, but makes a way face to show dislike.
