ST. J'OHN'S WIFE
It was in olden times, before croquet
or lawn parties were, in vogue. When
the good wife wanted a few friends to.
meet at her ample board, for a social
chat, a quilt --there was always _one on
hand—was stretched upon the frames,"
the larder stored with good things, and
invitations were sent far and near for
the ladies to meet in the afternoon,
with gentlemen and tea in the evening.
Behold, then, a goodly number gath-
ered in the front room•of Farmer Good -
win's ` house, matrons and maids ;' but
the latter were !expected to do little
work, and they gathered in groups on
the piazza or strolled through the yard.
Neighbors' affairs were talked over,
weather andhousekeeping fully dis-
cussed, and occasionally a choice bit of
news of a more interesting character
made known. On this particurar occa-
sion it consisted in the fact that. St.
John was going to marry. Some glanced
up in surprise, but matter-of-fact Mrs.
B. exclaimed, " How do you know ?
I've heard that story so often as to Lose
all faith in the report."
" Oh, it's a fads this time, for Miss
Jay told me, herself that Abigail St.
John had engaged her to come and Sew
for her three weeks. She is to have
her black silk made over, and has one
or two new ones. She expects to go
south with an invalid friend ; but you
all know she would never leave her
brother unleSs there was some one com-
ing to -take h r place."
All concurred that it was a good thing.
They did not consider Miss Abigail just
the party to make her brother happy.
True, she was a good housekeeper, but
then she was considerable of a scold,
and St. John was such a mild,pleasant,
kind-hearted man, how had he ever
borne with it ? Such a contrast, too, to
the first Mrs. St. John !
St..John was a general favorite—
always had a pleasant greeting for every
one. So the elderly ladies remarked ;
and as for the younger ones, certainly
his handsome face and agreeable man -
n Hers were attractive. The lady=elect
was next in order.
"Folks say," continued Mrs. 5.,
the widow Granger's daughter ov
Piumville. At any rate St. John
been seen to stop there quite oft
late."
"Well, perhaps she'll make a
wifer" and the lady's dance reste
half a minute on her teen daughter,
was standing by the Window, " but
heard she's a proud, high spirited la
So they chattered on, while
Abigail in her' pleasant sewing -r
stitched, all unconscious of their
paraging remarks, her thoughts
out to the new hoe in the far s
and her heart rejoicing that her d
at the farm were over. Miss Abi
dearly loved her brother, and at
request, five years before, -gave up
own home, came and tended the
wife, and had since kept house for
She had carefully concealed the s
ton—for this house was not exe
from one. St. John was unconscious of
it, Miss Abigail knew. In her endeavors
to make the best of it, she felt she was
losing her own peace of mind and sereni-
ty of temper. She had found it, and so
had the young wife who now slept so
quietly in the church -yard. For an in-
stant the sister's heart went out in pity
to the young girl who was to take .her
place. But it was_ not for her to give her
warning ; and Rose- Granger, in her
cozy village home, , dreamed bright
dreams of a future; strewn with flowers.
People might harp on the ills of life ; for
her part she did not more than half be-
lieve them. It was . their . own fault,
they brought them on themselves ; but
she, oh, it would be so different ! : And
the bright air -castles :rose.

Yet she was not without the range of
the gossips' tongues.They were busy
at Plumvle, too, and Rose Granger,
calm, self-possessed young lady though
she was, had not failed to note certain
looks and mysterious nods, although
apparently oblivious to them, and vain-
ly she wished, as so many others have
done, that people would not interest
themselves in 'her affairs. One old lady,
presuming on herage and long acquaint-
ance to offer a little advice, remarked to
her one day :
" I wish yon much happiness, and
yon have apparently made a gond choice.
Mr. St. John is intelligent, and owns a
good property, so you can have every
comfortyon wish. Then, too, he's
agreeable and kind-hearted. But trou-
ble comes in all lives ; all men have
their faults,"—then, misinterpreting the
expression on Rose's face, she contin-
ued, " but I don't wish to frighten you,
my dear; I've no doubt you can -man-
age him."
Manage him !" exclaimed Rose
scornfully. "I loathe the idea. No
woman who had any respect for herself
would stoop to such manoeuvering."
" Very fine talk, my dear ; but to let
you into a matrimonial secret, most
wives have to ; they would have a sorry
lot if they didn't."
Rose's lip curled, and she deigned no
reply. The words came to mind the next
time she met St. Johan ; but a glimpse
of his handsome face and sparkling
eyes dispelled all unpleasant thoughts.
That face spoke to her of perfect man-
hood ; yet a close observer of human na-
tnre would -have read in that easy, non-
chalent manner and beneath that glance
a certain lack of energy. Not that St.
John was indolent, cp.ite the reverse.
• He was always busy and fall of plans,
but he lacked the perseverance neces-
sary to fulfil them. Some other time
would do ; meanwhile something else -
was in -hand.
Tirae glided by, and one summer
evening Mrs. St. John arrived at her
new home. Miss Abigail remained with
them a few weeks ; then, early one Mon-
day morning, her brother carried her to
the depot, and after their departure
Mrs. St. John gathered up the clothes
preparatory to washing. The cistern
pump was broken, and in peering in she
discovered that the cistern was empty.
She met her husband on his return with
" What am I to do ? I've everything
ready for washing, and there is not a
drop of water in the cistern 1"
St. John smiled at her look 'of dis-
tress, and replied, " And hasn't been for
years ; the eigtern Ieaks."
" Why ! what did Abigail do ?"
" Used well water, I suppose."
His wife made no reply, but gathering
up the clothes, said : " I will' wait till
we have rain," and carried them back
to the closet. St. John was a little
abashed at her manner, and exclaimed,
" P1I have it repaired right away. I
meant to have done so before."
So Rose washed dishes and cleaned
