But, what, under the canopy, are you going to do with a great growing boy, eating Sou out of the home, at the age when he needs a man to look after him, too. I tell you Jemima, it's non- sense. Bundle up the boy's clothes, end let Lim jump iuto the eart and go with me. His Aunt Polly'Il see that he has plenty to do, and he oan step in now and then to see you on market -clays, if you like. 'We'll do well by the boy, Jemima. Dont turn away a fair offer. Come, Ralph, you know which side your bread is buttered on. You want to ho Homo with me, don't you ? It hardly seemed poseible that Ibis coarse -looking, red face man, could owned. brother to the slender refined woman in widow's mourn- ing against whom the boy was lean• ing, his arm thrown fondly around her shoulder. Tho thought of liv- ing with Uncle Ichabod and Aunt Polly was hateful, and Rnlp shud• dered at two bare idea. But he was a well•trained boy, and pulitely answered : I walnut leave mamma, uncle. Papa told me Batt I was to be the mull of the house. Papa had died u mouth ago. Humph I Pretty man of the house you'll be 1 Neto a man over you, I say 1 And smutting and blustering, Uncle 'chatted departed, slamming the door behind Lira, and driving old Whiteface elattr•:ty-bang down the road at the great pace. I hope I've done w'ircl , 1lalph, said Mrs. Alford, l,muuthiug hack her boy's fair hair. We have very tittle money, and yc,ur smote is 11811. I .won't cal any mere Blau 1 can help, mamma, and I'd atop growing so fast if I possibly could, Bless the dcnr child l Eat all you TALE, laddie and dont worry Omit glowing. The miner you gruw to be : tall man, as lapa was, the sooner yofr will be able to take good care of mamma and 3oui• sfslete. If there was or little money in the Alfords' home, there was some- thing much better—a great deal of love. Mrs. Alford knew how to bo merry over bread and milk, and not to cloud her children's pleasure, she kept a cheerful face even when she felt asd and lonely. Ralph went to sehoe1 every day, and tried not to worry his mother by oomplaints; but it was hard for a boy eleven to wear troueers which were too short in the legs, and jackets which per- sisted in getting -slight over the chest, with sleeves which orept hal'fttvay to the elbow. One day Miss Meredith, his teacher in tho cluysohool where he attended, asked him to remain a few moments. She knew how bravely and patiently the little man of the house was hearing his heavy burdeu, and so she wished to en- courage him all she could, and keep his quits up., Ralph, dear, she said. Yee, Mins Meredith ? You 1110 a wonderfully good read- er for your age, Haven's you been used to reading aloud.? Yes, Miss Meredith, answered Ralph ; 1 used to read to papa, every day, the paper, and stories, and poetry, and the Bible. • 1 thought so, Now 1 have a proposal to matte. There is a bimd lady in the house where I board ; site requires somebody to amuse her and she will pay three dollars a week to a person who oan read to her two hours every day. I have f een thinning that I could crenae you every morning at a quarter be - bore twelve, and let yon run home, eat your luncheon, and then you might go to Mrs. Merrifield for an hour. Then if you could give her another hour from four to five 111 the afternoon, slip would be satin. feed. Ralph almost jumped for joy at the prospect of earning three dol- lars a week. Wby, how glad he would be to help mamma so much an that 1 That would be like the man of the house. Miss Meredith proceeded. Mrs, Merrifield is an abrupt old lady, and sometimes rather impatient in her manner. You must not mind her plain•spealcing, however. And her taste in reading may seem very dry to a boy like you, but you will be prepared for that, as it will Only take two hours each clay. • Mies Meredith, said Ralph, I do not mind anything, if I can only please the lady, and earn some money for my mother. It's dread- ful, be added, confidentially, to grow i•o fast and to eat so much as I do. It wasn't the very pleasantest thing in the world for a boy who liked to play ball and cricket and lively game to -spend two hours a day reading Baxter's Saint's Rest and Owen's Fourfold State to a blind lady, but Ralph did it. Mrs. Merrifield took a great fanny to him from the moment she pas- sed her fine wrinkled hands over his smooth face, and the longer be came to her, the more pleased she was, saying now and then to Mies Meredith, There's good blood there my dear. The little lad's to gentle man. She could not see him color pain. fully one day when elm felt his bare wrists and divined the outgrown jacket, but she had ton delicate a sense of his natural pride to send him the order for a new suit of clothes, which she had roaolved upon for his birthday present, un- til a fortnight later. Miss Meredith had happened to mention the boy's birthday. Before Mrs. Merrifield sent her gift she had a good excuse for doing so. Ralph was sitting by the win- dow. A pause had come in the reading. The old lady lilted to stop vow and then to consider what Ler favorite author had been say. ing. Suddenly, with a hurried "1 beg your pnrclon ; I must go," the boy dashed out of the room, as if lie had been stung by a hornet, leav- ing hie patron with uplifted hands in a state of amazement. Never had this gentle boy behaved in so unparalleled a manner. A moment later he was back, bearing in los arms a beautiful dark eyed child, whoa° little dress was stained with mud, while her hand was bleeding from a sharp scratch. A Skyo terrier brought up the rear, barking violently, and r. very muuI1 demoralized maid came straggling after. ' Olr, grandma! grandma 1 cried the little girl. I would have been dunned over if this big boy had not ! jumped down from the sky just in j chile, Just in time, barked the Skye terrier. And where were you, Melusine ? inquired the old lady, severely, of the maid, who was ashamed to tell the truth, which was that she had forgotten her little charge, while gossiping with a tall policeman, who in his turn was unmindful of his duty, and did not observe the horses . which came whirling round the corner faster •than the law al- lowed. It was niter that that Mrs Merri- field sent the order for the new suit. But I think there was greater merit in the steady sol f.denial which made the boy ready to give up two solid hours a day to uncongenial work, than in the sudden impulse whieh sant him out to snatch a baby from peril. He is proving himself a.really oberating man of the house, though Uncle Iohabod still grumbles at Je- mima's wilfulness in spoiling that boy. t'u.bsisIon Notes.

There in a serpent blue as well as a groan by this disagreeable name, and the blue is certainly pretty if its name is not. The short sliirt is still fashionable except for ceremonious occasions and is always quite the thing for vary young ladies. The milkmaid skirt, with its high• land bouffant drapery, is .a pretty fashion for the flowered fabrics, worn for house costumes. Large hats are good form and are generally wore by stylish women- in preference to a close bonnet for or- dinary occasions this season. The white braide used to trim all sorts of colored fabrics are affective on halt tints, such au French gray, mauve and the biscuit shades.
