Mr. Mildwayn face was clouded. He was biting his lip, It oarae again, "Bang -g- er Aunt Prudence rose from her chair.

Your wife has is headache and I wouldn't trouble her."_ "1 will attend to it, sister," he said ner- vously. He sprang up, and left the room. Then Aunt Prudence heard 'him mounting the hill -stairs. Then she heard his deep voice echoing out an order : "Nellie, you must not do that again.. If you don't like what your brother Torn is doing, mane to me, but don't slow your displeasure that way." Then, Aunt Prudenoe heard the peevish muttering of is ohild's voice. Finally, Mr. Mildreem ca.me downstairs, and resumed his seat in the parlor by the side of his sister. " Oh 1" thought Aunt Prudence, "1 see now who ib was. That was my niece, Nel- lie, and she was angry with her brother Tom and alacamed the door." :Aunt Prudence was correct in this WC - elusion. Nellie was a girl lovely in feet- ure, but lacking in good temper. To put it another way, she did not try to rein in her bad tenaper. The next day, Aunt Prudence witnesi ed another exhibition of peevish. nese. "I say, Nellie," remarked. Tom, pleas- antly, "Ib is hot here in the elbting-room.

"Nellie is spoiling her teraper, if it is not spoiledalready, and she is hurting Tom's goodinature, end, oh, dear 1 she does not know she is getting into a habit that will hold her like iron. What can I do ?" That WAS is difficult question to answer, Mrs. Milder:ay, the mother, saw Nellie's feult but neglected to cure it, making only some trivial euggestione of improvement to the girl; add she did not want Aunt Pru- dence or any one else to manage her children for her. She did not say exactly this to Aunt Prudence, but its equivalent. A cure, thoggh, was started. Perhaps, you may say, Nellie's own good sense broke up the habit ; that she herself saw how unladylike it wee to fire off her temper as if it wete v. cahnonicracker, a temper exploding in those doonalams. No, the cure began in another way. Nellie and Tom had anti ncle George. He WAS at me, commanding a ship, but while Aunt Prudence was visiting her brother Thomas, George was expected. Nellie had never sem this Uncle George. "I dare my, children," observed Aunt Prudence eo Tom and Nellie, "that Uncle George will give you tome presents." "Perhaps he may give no a piece of his mind," Nellie remarked ungraciously. "May be," said Aunt lerudence, good-nat- uredly, "and may be not. I hope not" "10h," said Tom, "if Uncle George is rich, he nay give Nellie a new, areas. I have teen him, and. he ili real generous.

In fact, one rarely meets is person, old or young, who ledulgea in sweeter at all who does not show is decided taste for maple augar. Sugar time is hailed with delight by the younger members. of the farrnms' fansilles throughout the wooded distriote of Ontario. Visions of countlest jollificetions and many surreptitious draughts of delicious sap crowd out yesterday's realities of skating and coast. ing. When the weather is jut right farmers and Sons start out to tap the maple. A lent -inch hole is bored in each tree on the southern exposure. Into the hole is insert. ed a small wooden trough about six inehes long. When the sun throws its warm rays about the trees the sap trickles through the troughs and down into the tin pails hung be- neath, making sweethausic in the album of the grove. There are patent &ratites used for runnigg the sup into the paile, but all farmera do not etveat in them. The home- made article ia cheaper, and whittling in not counted as work. It is done en odd. times, generally on stormy days, when the " wan- k:Ike" congregate in the barn, each armed with is good stout jeok-knife and plenty of the right material to work upon. There they tell stories, discuss the price of potatoes, and gossip just is little. The sap pails, which hold about is gallon, must all be hung at right, or very early in the morning, end when night comes again the same ground is gone over, the brimming pails emptied and hung again in place. To look at this colorless liquid one would hard- ly think it could be boiled into anything re- sembling syrup or sugar.

Holding it he said, "Hayes, you've killed me, but I don't blame you for it," Hayes is fully exonerated from all bleane in the matter, for Smith was is most desperate character.

Shirley Dare, in his series ea articles upon courtship in America, says "Wherever it was wlaen I called upon is young lady, I either saw no other member of the family, or if I found the young woman's mother in the front room she was preparing to vacate it. Usually the mother wore an apologetic mien and made evident haste to withdraw, greeting me with is few words about the weather before she retired for the rest of the evening. Often and often wheel my knock or my ring was mistaken for that of some neighbor or friend of the family have I known a general scamper from the trent room to follow the first sound of my voice in the hall; usually, though, it was the young leely's voice that did the work, as she exclaimed, purposely, aloud 'Why, Mr.--; I didn't expect you,' and so forth. In very few country homes did I ever see the members of the family. That happened 10 some of the larger towns, but the rule in such plemes alwaye was for the interlopers, as I considered all except the young lady, to retire s ery early, leaving her and myself together and undisturbed for the rest of the evening. - " I would net like to say how late I often stayed on such occasions. That 'I followed the general crest= in thia respect!, however, was thoroughly proved by the fact that, whenever I had friends who spent their evenings in the same way and agreed to meet elsewhere, they were as late as I wee. There is not is night constable in a country town in the United States, I dare say, who will not nob bear me out in stating that on Viteduesday and Sunday nighta the puler lights burn till long after midnight, and that he meets the young beau i of the place on their way to their homes in the growing hours toward daylight. The story told of the German maiden and the boas plumber who spent their courting nights in innocent slumber in their chairs was paralleled in my experience, for one of the young women in my list of sweethearts used to tell me that her sister had is beau, a farmer, who always fell asleep soon after he had come to me her.
