frankness, Mabel remarked that she
did not consider ill founded by any

"Well, upon nty word 1" exclaimed
Keith, with what was perhaps in the
circumstances, not unnatural warmth.
"Obi, she is very aoute," said Mabel.
"Yon would not think it,but she notices

And with this vague menace, which
conveyedia certain sense of satisfac-

A couple of days afterward, at the

Keith. "There are plenty of nice girls

••••*••••••
" Well, She is a demure little soul,"
said Keith Verner," %ad not much of
a beauty, certaiely." a ‘
Upon which Mrs. Verner replied with
decision: "She it'll:mite as much of a
beauty, my dear, ara there is any need
for her to be." Ana the young man, at
that response, laughed
They were speaking of some into who
had iust left the roome-Mies Prudence
Hart, a young person who had 'entered
the Verners" family only a few days be-
fore,to fill the post of companion to Mrs.
,Verner's only daughter, Mabel. Mabel
Verner was nineteen, and was not in
very robust health. She was a little
fanciful, too, and had. of late developed
a certain fretfelness, with which her -
mother, who Was an active and cheer-
ful woman, had not much eympathy.
"The child tries me exceedingly," she
had often said to her husband: 'She
gl
has everythin to make her haPpy, and
yet she is not - appv. I wonder, she
had suggested one day, lately, "how it
would answer to give her some com-
panions of her own, age ?"
"What, another girl?" asked Mr.
Verner. "Well, that is not a bad idea."
, "I have had it in my .rind for some
time," contained Mrs. Verner, thought-
fully. "The only objection ' is that
there might be some difficulty with the
boys." 1
"Oh, not the least fear of that 17" ex-
claimed her hnsbaud in a tone of
amazement. "The boys, you may be
sure, would like it."
"1 have little doubt that they would
like it," Mrs. Verner anewered; shortly.
"What I fear is that they might like it
too well. If it were net that they are
so little here -t" '
"Ah, yes, that makes all th.e differ-
ence," he asseeted. living "If they were at home I should
not think of such an arrangement for. a
moment, but seeing how much they are
away, I am ditiposed to think that the
plait might be tried; especially if we
could find soree quiet girl, not very
goodtlooking," said Mrs. Verner.
And then senaething of the nature of
a protest rose . to her husband's lips;
but, on reflection, he did not utter it.
Soon after this, Mrs. Verner, having
consulted with her daughter, and re-
ceived Maberm
s assent to her schee,
began to roa.ke known , anaonget her ,
actpaaintancea that she wished to re-
ceive irrto her house some young person
of a modest and staid demeanor, in con-
sequence of which numerous young
rersons were !proposed to her, and from
amongst these variout candidates she
finally selected one who- seemed in a
happy degree to combine 'the several
qualificationsithat she most desired to
secure. Foe,' by the lady who recom-
mended her, Fruderice Efare was certi-
fied to be eheerful, eleven domestic, of
a sweet temper, and with regard to
propriety and modesty of deportment,
all that the most anxious mother could
demand. _
And then to sum up all, she was net
handsome. iMrs. Verner saw her with
her own eyes, and could testify to the
fact.
eA pleasant face ; yes, I shoiald. nail
it decidedly pleasant, healthy and fresh,
but with no pretensions to good, looks,"
she stated with decision to her hus-
band, speaking of Miss Hart before the
young lady took up her abode with
them. eA nice, plain, retiring, la.dy-
like looking girl -just the sort of a per.
son I had in my mind. Mrs.. Prescott
speaks of her in the warree_st Way. She
says we shall find she will be a com-
fort to- us all."
* "Well, that is, I snppose, assuming
we shall be in need of comfort ?" sug-
gested Mr. Verner, but his wife did not
, respond_ to this uncalled for remark.
It was turning dark on a spring even-
ing when a fly, that had brought Miss
Hart and her luggage from the station,
drew up before Mrs. Verner'a hall door.
"Will you take my two portmanteaus
in if yon please? The fare is three -and
six -pence," said the young lady, and
paid the money and entered the house.
The ' next monteut she saw Mabel
coming across the hall to meet her, and
she put out her hand with a little
smile.
" How do you de ?" Mabel said. "1
am afraid you are cold. We had hoped
you would come by an earlier train,
you know."" This has been a very nice train,"
anawered Prudence," and I like arriv-
ing at places in the evening."
And then Mabel took her to her
mother who was waiting to receive her
in the drawing -room.
Miss Hart was a young wonaa,n of
apparently two or three and twenty,
with a placid, rounded face and glossy
hair, divided in the middle, and put
smoothly back from a broad, low fore-
head. The forehead and 'head were
good, and the eyes fairly handsome, but
the rest of the features were homely
enough.
"1 call her plain, decidedly," Mabel
said; after she had been in Ler com-
pany for an hour.
bis eisters's friend.
B,ut Keith, on his part felt a decided
curiosity to see the young lady again.
It had beoome quite clear to bis mind
that a girl who was capable of speak-
ing about him to Mabel in the way in
which Mabel had asserted she had
Spoken, was a girl who required to be
taken down, and he was eager, with the
natnral eagerness of a virtuous mind,
to set himself about this necessary
work. So he began by greeting her
when they met in the most chilling
way, and then kept his attention on the
alert, that he might be ready, whenever
the first opportunity offered, to put her
down as she deserved.
But the hours passed, and Mise Hart
was so quiet that the opportunity for
which he watched was slow to oome.
She sat at the dinner -table and in the
drawing room, the meet unobstrusive
of women, hardly speaking unless she
was' addressed, and speaking then in the
most modest way. She was bright and
alert, but her alertness showed itself, in
acts, not words; shewas quick to per-
form little services, to brieg a footstool
to his mother's feet, to place his father's
newspaper beside him, to play Mabel's
acoompaniments when she sang, and.
set in order the things Mabel left awry;
but all this was done in the quietest
way, and accompanied for the most
part only be little deprecating, inquir-
ing, grateful or kindly smiles, that it
would have been next to impossible to
take offence at. '
"She seems to get on very well with
them all, certainly," Keith thought to
himself, "and to be very amiable and
well-meaning. If it were not that Ma-
bel is a girl who tells the truth -e"
But then Mabel essentially was a girl
who told the truth, and so Keith was
perplexed.
Late in the evening he came sudden-
ly on Miss Hart standing alone out of
doors by the verandah, looking se the
stars. This seemed to Lin odd, for he
was not romantic, and never went star-
gazing himself; in facti her occupation
appeared to him so quer a one that he
peered at her inquiringly when he came
upen her in the dark, anicl said, "Hallo!"
He had come out to smeke a cigar and
wee not thinking of thelstars.
e Why -I say, aren't Yon cold. here?"
he exclaimed next morniant.
" Cold in this sweet air ?" she asked.
She looked at him and laughed. "1
have been fainting indoors with your
closei windows all night."
"Well, you have not looked like it,
then," he replied bluntly.
"Von are Saying that at hazard. Yon
don't knew how I have looked," the
young lady rejoined.
" Why should I not know? Do you
think I have not eyes," he asked.
And then she laughed again, very
sofitly and with a peculiar tone, and
made no other response.
- She was rather a small woman, with
a firm rounded figure, not sylph -like,
but pretty in its, way, and she dressed
well. She had bsea standing in the
shadow when he first spoke to her,but
she came out a step or two beyond the
verandah after his last question, and as
"Yes, my dear," replied her mother,
"1 told you she was plain; but I don't
consider that that is any drawback."
And then Mabel said, "Perhaps not,"
but thought at the same time in her
heart that it was a drawback, for Mabel
was pretty herself, and cared enough
for her beauty to fancy that hfe would
not be worth much without it.
The day after Miss Hart's arrival, the
girls spent a good deal of time together,
and Mabel found. her new companion
pleasant enough. "She tallts a good
deal when she is alone with me," she
told her mother, "and she can be
amusing too. I rather like her. I •
daresay, you know, she feels less shy
with me than she does with papa and
yen."
"Very probably," answered Mrs. Ver-
ner, suavely. " That iti only natural."
And she went presently to her desk,
and wrote a grateful note to Mrs. Pres-
cott, telling her that Miss Hart had
arrived, and. that so far she gave entire
satisfaction.
"And certainly I have every .reason
as yet to be pleased with the result of
our experiment," she Said complacently
to her husband at night.
To which Mr. Verner replied, " H'm
-she is an odd little person. She won't
contribute very much, I suspect, to the
general liveliness of the house."
"She will contribute probably quite
as ranch to it as it is desittable she
should do," replied Mrs. Verner with
emphasis. A prominent, showy sort of.
girl would not, I consider, have been at
all the kind of person to suit us."
"Well, no -no, I daresay not,'
assented Mr. Verner. el only meant

The Isle of Skye.
Scotland has got a land grievance as
well as Ireland, and the people of the
Idle of Skye have • already come into
collision 1 with the authorities. To
Eeglish speahing people the Isle of
Skye is chiefly known as the home' of
Flora Macdrald. At the present
time most of the island is owned by
Lord Macdonald, better known as the
Lord of; the Ides. Skye is an islandi off
the coast of Itiverness, and is remerk-
ably barren even for Scotland. Inland
it is mountainous and uncultivated,
but upon the shore a large number of
"orofters" Manage to pick up a .precitri-
otis livelihood! by agriculture and fell-
ing. These crofters, as they are called,
apparently because of their small hold -
hies of crofts; live in small collections
oehuts. The huts are irregular ovals
a piled up stoues covered with heather
atel thatch, Which are held_ on by ropes
trade of straw and rushes. A couple
of holes in the roof allow the smoke to
eecape, and a pane of glass as a sky-
light admits. the light. The fowls and
cattle share the hut with the family,
and everythieg betokens the most
abject poverty. The people rarely
taste meat, their principal sustenance
being potatoes and herrings. When
h4rings are scarce a little oatmeal
°eke and tea ?ere looked upon as luxu-
ries. ,
.Once or twice in a year one of the
black face sheep, which look so pictur-
. esque, but which are so unsatitfactory
on the dinner table, is killed. A crofter
who Owns twoecowS, a calf, and half a
dezen sheep is considered well off. By
the agreements under which the crof-
ters hold their crofts, each croft may
support a pony, but the tenant rarely
takes advantage of this right. Sense
time ago some of these crofters living at
Braes were deprived, according to their
story, of certalin rights of commonage by
the factor of Lord Macdonald. They
used to be [plowed to pasture their
cattle upon a mountain rejoicigg in the
semewhat Magnolian name dj Benlee.
'this they haye been deprived of with-
out any compensation in the way of
diminution of rent, and in consequence
they have refused to pay any rent at
all. Again they complained that they
were not allowed to keep dogs to drive
the deer away, so that these atimals
came down from the hills spoiled their
mops, and in 'winter raided upon their
hay and oat ricks. The other side deny
all this, and eat, that the land is un-
able to support so many • crofters; that
new lands had been offered to t em,
which they have refused to ace pt ;
and that as to the deer, Lord Max on-
ald long ago, erected a high fenc to
keep them out, but • the crofters were
toe lazy to keep it in repair. It is
said that some of the Irish Land Lea-
guers have been fomenting the ill -feel -
pg led some time ago to ati
attack on the police, in which the
crofters got the worst, some of thern
being arrested. A. number of influen-
tial Scotch gentlemen interfered, and
an amicable arrangement will probably
be made.

Celery for Rheumatism.
# It is asserted teat rheumatism is im-
possible if celery is eooked and freely
paten. The fact that it is always put
en the table raw prevents ite therapeu-
tic powers from becoming known. The
celery should be cut into little bits,
boiled in water until soft, and the water
drank by the patient. •Put new milk
with a little_flour and nutmeg into a
saucepan with a little boiled celery,
serve it warm with pieces of toast; eat
it with potatoes and the ailment will
Soon yield. Such is the declaration of
a physician who has again and again
tried the experiment, and was uniform-
ly sucaessfuly. He adds that cold or
damp never produces, but simply devel-
ops the disease, of which acid" blood is
the primary and sustaining cause, and
that while the blood is alkaline, there
can be neither rheumatism nor gout.
English statistics thew that in one
7ear-1876----3,840 persons died of rheu-
matism, and in every case, it is claimed
might have been cured or prevented by
the adoption of the remedy mentioned.
At least two thirds of the cases named
heart disease are ascribed to rheuma-
tism, which, it is maintained by many
physicians, can be prevented by obey
ing nature's laws in diet. But if you
have incurred it, boiled celery is pro -
pounced unhesitatingly to be a specific
remedy.
