And you really can make a pud- ding?" said Mr. Hamilton, as he drew hiachair rather unnecessaTily near the table where Maggie v4s at work. "I really can," answered Maggie. "But what i.s there so very surprising in that ?" "Nay, 1 think it is very surprising," her said; "and. 1 question very mach. if you could find. a dozen young ladies of a certain class in all this great town of Winterbury who could say as much. And there's another mystery t� be solved. How is it you did not go to the Stephens' this evening ?" " Because she •volunteerecl to stay at home and amuse her old. unole," said Mr. Harrison, laying his hand carress-: ingly on her glossy hair. "But it was no .sacrifice," said. Mag- gie, “ for I did not want to go. I be- gan quite to long for a quiet evening at home. You play chess, Mr. Hamilton? Ah, then, you ancl uncle can have a, grand battle, and I will sit by and wateh the sfame." But Mr: Harrison declared he.had. not finished his paper, and. told, the young people to try their skill till he was ready. The game, however, progressed but slowly, and. the supper tray came in be: fore it was half over; and after that there was another hour of pleasant ani- mated chat; so that when Mr. Hard]; ton at last took his leave, he left quite convinced. that he- tad passed a far pleasanter evening than if he had gone to a &nen balls. "And what sort Of an evening did you have ?" asked Maggie, as the girls dawdled over a late breakfast next morning. "Pretty well," said. Sophy,languidly e "but I think I Ought rather to ask you! that. Pray, how long did. he stay ?"-- the “ he," of course, referring to Mr. Hamilton. t I - "Ob, he stayed to slipper, and it was nearly eleven o' lock when he left," re- plied Maggie. "How provok pettishly; "au( could you find time?" . " Oh, plenty gie. “ I think to know how pass their time in the country; so I gave him a slie t sketch of my ocou- pations-very "A.d did yo nd, hem d Harriet, rather spitefully. , though I might have done so," aggie, peietly i • " for 1 do both es: .

Fanny, "1 begin to suspect you are a very deep little girl." “ A 'very silly one," interrupted Sophy, hastilY. "What would he take you for? I consider pudding-realdng about OR a par with dish -washing, and cer- tainly no lady would wish to do either." "Then I suppose I am no lady," said Maggie, " for I must say I see no reason • why a lady should. not do both, if ' ne- cessity required. it; and I 'know dear, mamma thinks no girls education is, complete unless she understands house- keeping;. and 1 ani sure work is no dise grace to any one, '•?' Rut I beg pardon for into the world again." Maggie wisely held her peace, and gradually the scoffs and jeers died away; yet it was with unmixed feelings of pleasure that she saw the carriage drive up that wee to convey her to Deanley. She found her hostess wait- ing to receive her with a truly warm and. cordial greeting. Mrs. Hamilton was ono of those rare beings who Me- , prove upon acquaintance.

While this little domestic scene was going on at the Harrison's, one some- what similar took place between Mrs; Hamilton and- her son. They had breakfasted. early. as usual, and were seated on either side of a noble fire, burning in a grate of polished steel. She was a lady who might be between fifty and sixty though her eyes were still -bright, her cheek still smooth, and her figure queenly in. its proportions and bearing. And who lixe these Harrisons ?" she inquired, when her son had told her where he had spent the previous °venni a.

" Grown up," was the reply, "At least the girls aro; the boys are younger, raere schoolbojs, in fact." , There was a pause, during which Mrs. Jov Hamilton gazed thoughtfully into the fire.
