'I'm being rob- bed every day," Widows has hard tunes," said Mrs. Bort. And Neaera did not think it necessary to say, how soon her bard tines were coming to an end. Come agin to-morrer afternoon, and I'll tell ye," was Mrs. Bort's ultimatum. And mend you don't get into mis- chief.' "Why afternoon 1" asked Neaera. "'Cause I'mwashing," maid Mrs, Bort, snappishly. "That's why." Neaera in vain implored an immedi- ate answer, Mrs. Bort said a day could not matter, and if Neaera pressed her further, she should consider it an in- dication that something was "up," and refuse to go at all. Neaera was silenc- ed, and sadly returned to her hotel. How I hate that good, good wo- man!" she cried. "1'11 never see her again es long as I live, after to -mor- row. 0h, I should like to bit her 1" The propulsions of cause upon cause are, as Bacon said, infinite. If Mrs. Bort hart not washed -in the technical sense, of course-ou that particular Fri- day, Neaera woufd have come and gone -perhaps even Mrs. Bort might have gone too --before the train brought George Neston to Liverpool, and his inquiries landed him ab Mrs. Bort's abode. As it was, Mrs. Bort's little ecr- vant bade him wait in the parlor, as her mistress was talking to a female in the kitchen. The little servant thought "female" the politest possible way of describing any person who was net a man, sad accorded the title to Neaera on ac'.ount.of her rustling robes and gold -tip fed parasol. antGeorge therein shelvinoe ng' he, his inform- ant, role of date 1five, was a square peg in a round he b.

Women, also, of a low social grade, are not strangers to discord, and the pen of satire has not spared the tiffs and wrangles that arise between elderly ladies of irreproachable position, and between young ladies of possibly not ir- reproachable morals. It is harder to bo- lieve, harder especially for young men whose beards are yet soft upon tbeir chins, that .graceful gentle girlhood quarrels too. Nobody would believe it, if there were not sisters ui the world, but, unhappily, in spite of the natural tendoncy to suppose that all attributes distinctively earthy aro confined to his own sisters, andliave no place in the sis- ters of his friends, a man of reflection, checking his observations, in the vari- ous methods suggested by logicians, is forced to conolude that here is another instance of the old truth that a thing is not to be considered non exist- ent merely because it is not visible to a person who is not meant to see it. This much apology for the incident which follows is felt to be necessary in the interest of the .narrator's reputation for realism, The • foot is that there bad been what reporters .oall a"scene" at Mrs. Poaklinggton's, 11 so fell out that Isabel Bourne, accompanied bee Maud Neston, called on Laura to receive con- gratulations. Laura did her duty, fel- icitated her friend on Tommy in.posses- don and Tomenys tithe reversion,and loyally suppressed her personal opinion on the part these two factors had re- spectively played In producing the an- nounced. result, Her forbearance was ill -requited; for Maud, by way of elinohing the matter and conclusively demonstrating the satisfactory posi- tion of affairs, must needs 'remark, And what a lesson It will be for George!" Laura said nothing. "Oh, yyou mustn't say .that, dear," ob- jected Isabel. "It's realty not right." exctwlyayeesaai hathe deserves, Iknow be feels it himself.' "Did he tell you so asked Laura, pausing in the act of pouring out tea, Maud laughed. Hardly, dear. Besides, we are not on speaking terms, But Gerald and Mr. `Gerald both said so."

' Gcod-byye, Laura," said Maud, "I'm sure you'll be sorry when you come to think: ' "No, I shan't. I--" "There!" said Isabel, "I do not care to be insulted any more." The two visitors swept out, and Laura was left alone. Whereupon she began to cry. 'I do hate that sort of vul- garity," said she, onoppdng her eyes. "I don't believe he ever thought--" Mrs. Pocklington entered in urbane majesty, ""Well, is Isabel pleased with her little man?" she asked,- "Why, child, what's the matter?" Nothing," said Laura. "You're crying." T o, I m not. Those girls have been horrid," "What about ?" Oh, the engagement, and— "And wbat ?" "And poor Mr. Neston-George Nes- con." Oh, poor George Neston, What did they say?" Isabel pretended he had been in love with her, and -and was in love with her, and that she had refused him. "013, and that made you cry?" "No -not that-" "What, then?" "0h,_ please, mamma I" Mrs. Pocklington smiled. "Stop err- ing, my dear. It used to suit me, but it doesn't suit you. Stop, dear." "Very well, mamma," . said poor Laura, thinking it a little hard that she might not even cry. Aid you cry before the girls?" - "No," said Laura, with emphasis. "Good child," said Mrs. Pocklington. "Now, listen to me. You're never to think of him again -- "Mamma 1" "Till I tell you." "'Ala.;" "A tiresome, meddlesome fellow. Is your father in, Laura?" Yes, dear. Are you going to see hits about—?" Why, you're as bad as Isabel l" said Mrs. Pocklington, with feigned severity, disengaging Laura's arms from her neok. He's never asked you eigber 1" "No, dear ; but—" "The vanity of these children! There let me go; and for goodness' sake, don't be a cry-baby, Laura. Men hate wa- ter -bot ties.'• Thus mingling consolation and re - troof, Mrs. Pooklington took her way o her husband's study. "I want five minutes, Robert," she said sitting down, ;It's worth a thousand pounds a minute, my dear," said Mr. Pockling- ton, genially, laying down his pipe and his paper. "What with this strike-" "Strike I" said Mrs. Pocklington with indignation. "Why do you let them strike, Robert ?" I can't help it. Tbey want more money. Nonsense! They want to be taught their Catechisms, But I didn't come to talk about that." "I'm sorry you didn't my dear. Your views are refreshing." Robert, aura's got a fancy in her bead about young George Neaten." "Oh I" " 0h 1' doson't tell me much." "Well, you know all about him." "He's a very excellent young man. Not rich" A pauper?" "No, Bnough." "All right. If you're satisfied, I am. But hasn't he been making a fool of himself about some woman ?" Really, Robert, how strangely you express yourself 1 I suppose you mean about Neaera Witt?" Yes, that's it. I heard some rtunor." "Heard some rumor 1 Of course you read every word about it, and gossiped over it at the Club and the House, Now haven't you?" Perhaps I have," her husband ad- mitted. I think he's a young tool." "Am I to consider it an obstacle?" "Well, what do you think yourself?" "It's yottr business. Men know about tht sort of thing," "Is the child -eh ?" "Yes, rather," "And he?"

Hill, the well- known bailiff of Bracebrtdge, "I was so bad," says he, " that one of mY medical attendants said that I was dying, but, thank God, I &In not deed Yet. Prom the first few doses I took of Nervine I commenced to feel hot- ter, and arty to -day restored completely to my usual Health," A resident of the Maritime Prnvinccs, in the person of S. ,Tones, of Sussex, N,B., says : "Fur twelve years I was a martyr to lndi- eestion, constipation and headache.
