Mr. Harkwell, solicitor of Wattleport, had to give the matter serious consideration,for his income only amounted to £600 but 'the ques- tion did not dismay him, for he debated it with himself from the point of view of his children's interests, and without any reference to social prejudices. Nine- teen frtthers out of twenty would have solaced themselves with the 'thought that three out of the seven. girls would in all probability get married, and that the other facer would find sustenance somehow. One would remain at home ; another might:go out as a governess ; the third could reside, with her married sisters turn about, and the fourth could become a companion to Aunt Jenny, Auras .Bessie, or Uncle George. With. suoh calculations do fathers of large families often dismiss troublesome musings, especially when they are in the prime of life and have good profes- sional prospects, as was -the case with. Mr. Harkwell. But this gentleman bethought him that to bring up his girls with the notion of being idle ladies and husband -hunt- resses, would be to follow a foolish Oriental plan, which it is high time was uprooted from the manners of Eng- land, So he called his four eldest girls, who were aged 16, 14, 13, and 11 respec- tively, and took counsel with them as he would have done if they were boys, that is, he addressed them as rational beings. It may be as well to state that none of the children promised to be pretty, for neither Mr. ITarkwell nor his wife were handsome, and the girls took after them. Jenny, the fourth, was the nicest looking of the four, but theavere all good girls, fond of one another and their parents. " My dears," said Mr. Harkwell,,' I May summoned yon that yon ay hear an account of my circumstances, and decide for yourselves whether you would like to be put in the way of becoming honorably independent when yon grow older. Please Gad, I may live to _see - you all grown up ; but even if my high- est ambitions were realized, and I could leave you each a small compet-ency when I died, I could never do so much foryou as yot may do for yourselves if yon try." The attention of the girls was keenly aroused by this exordium. The ©ager hopefulness as to the future, which is always so strong in boys, but which can scarcely exist in girls, to whom the future is an enigma—a sort ot stonewall beyond which they cannot see kindled in their eyes, andshowed that all their faculties were'quickened.' One need not detail the conversation that ensued, but the upshot of it was this—that Mary, the eldest, caught with delight at the idea of becoming a doctor ; Florrie, the second, agreed to act es .a clerk in her father's office ; Evie, the third, was to apply herself seriously to study, with a view to going to Girton by-and-by, and: obtaining a certificate that should enable her to get a first-rate situation as a schoolmistress ; and Jenny, the fourth, who had a great taste for mimi- cry, playing charades, and so forth, de- cided that she should like to become an actress. Within a month after these schemes. had been formed, Mr. Harkwell had taken measures to realize them Mary and Jenny were sent to London, the one to reside in a physician's house and commence medical studies the other to live with an actor and his wife, who had undertaken to train her for the stage. Evie went to school in Paris, and. Florrie succeeded to a stool in her father's office. As Mr. Harkwell had laid by a few hundred pounds, he was enabled to make these arrangements without crippling his income. But, as one ma!a. suppose, such doings caused no small amount of gossip among the lawyer's friends. At Wattleport, as elsewhere, people were very .fond of dis- cussing their neighbor's affairs in a crictical spirit. Mrs, Harkwell, who was a pleasant and sensible woman, de- voted to her husband, and having every confidence in his judgment, was obliged to submit to a great many questions uttered with perfidious commiseration. Nobody would take it for granted that in entreating her daughter Jenny to an actor and actress she had taken careto select persons of unimpeachable charac- ter. Perhaps these good folk did hot think that such people were to be found in the profession. And then how strange to make a she -doctor of " poor Mary !" Was it really of her own free will that the dear girl was going to attend dissect- ing -rooms, and mix with medical stu- dents. Nobody would have suspected such tastes in a girl so quiet and re- fined. As to Fiorrie, she was nicely bantered by the girls of her own age. " Is it really true that your father - makes you sit on a high stool and scratch parchment ! I suppose the male clerks get up flirtations with . you all the while 7" " I sit in a room by myself," laughed Florrie, attd Lcopy deeds and letters. I think i.t's very good fun." " Lor', what an idea 1 Why, hell send you about the town with writs next. Do you get any pay for that drudgery 2''' " Yes, papa a has increased my allow- ance; he gees me ten ahillings a. week now." " Well, t never 1 and I suppose you have to pay for your dinner outof that ?'" Nevertheless, there were some who thought Florrie a lucky girl to have £26 per an- num to buy her own dresses with at fourteen years of age. They knew well enough that Florrie only worked in the. office two or three hours every day, and Was continuing her education juat like themselves, only with far more interest in her studies now than she had ever shown before, or than they showed in theirs. If Mr. Harkwell had only had chaff to put up with, he would have experi- enced no great hurt but he was made to feel that even in such a matter as the education of his own daughter a mail cannon please himself if -he flies in any way at social prejudices. The post of clerk of the peace to the borough unexpectedly fell vacant;; and in the ordinary course of things Mr. Harkwell would have stood a good chance of getting the appointment, for he was known to be both an able lawyer and an honest man ; but his views upon the bringing-up of girls caused prudent magistrates to shake their heads. They smacked of Radicalism and female tights ; they evinced an eccentricity of character which might prove Mischliev- ious in a court of petty sessions. So the appointment was given to a younger mean, who Was unmarried; and Mr. Harkwell lout the opportunity of add; ng £500 a year to his income, and of great- ly extending; his private praot11e at the same time.; " There, see what you have done for yourself," said one of his friends, who really wished him well. " Yonk. fanc`es have thrown : away a lot of money wh oh you might have saved up for your gi Is, so as to give them a handsome portion apiece when they marrried, or to le; ve them comfortably settled when y u were gone." "• That seems true enough," confess Mr. Harkwell, and he remain thoughtful for a moment. -'•After though," he added, " you can't pulp o tree when it has "only just been plant: It would take me a good deal of savi • and I should have to be very sudcess in speculation to leave each of my gi a hundred a year apiece, besid s pi viding for their mother. I m. st ll another twenty years at least to db th • and a hundred pounds income is n mach after all, whereas in a fev yea I hope to see my danghters'indeeenden and much happier for being so than they were wholly reliant on me." " Yes, but there are other things o consider, observed the friend. " You have lost caste by what you hive don: yon must be aware that a great mai ladies who looked upon your danghte is as equals could no longer receive the as such if they became actresses, fema clerks, and all that sort of thing. ' r' I don't see why that should e so. answered Mr. Harkwell, mildl . am a gentleman, I trust, and my aug tars will remain ladies, though the earn their own living. Come, j a t re son on our position calmly.' Is it t atur:1 that a man of . my means should brin up seven girls in absolute I depe'. deno on him, with the risk of leaving the chargeable upon others if he were to di without haviug amassed a fortun: ? I: there any law in commgn sen..e b which a father of seven girls; pin oul look upon himself as having seat). I elp less mouths to provide . for so' 19 g a these girls may live ? Am ',I bou d t • argue that if two or three of my girl: lige to ninety, unmarried, they : hall severity or eighty years hence b: sup porting themselves only ll y me: es of what I shall have been able to a ve ?" " That is all very well, but . the orld is not going to be reformed oat of ' at- tleport," replied his friend. "I' you meati to set up as a prophet, Har . ell, you must expect a prophe't's rew: . in his own country." This hard truth was not ' to be ;sin- said, and Mr. Harkwell was not a• in- different to the world's esteem as . be altogether callous to the tbkens a re- probation with which• he was vi ted. His former associates—lawyers, d a ors, clergymen, small squires—looked . pon him els a disseminator of dangerou: • oc- trines which might possibly infect! I. eir own girls ; and those of them who:: in- comes were most precarious, and -ho would have done best to follow hi ex- ample, became his sharpest' censor: An event which occurred two 1r :ars after Jenny Harkwell had gone to study of dishonest midwiv s. did •not profesa to 'tten patients of her ow ' sex consulting room, a n 000as•on to regret script ons.

The piece had a run of t�ihr hundred nights, and Jenny earned ao £1550 ; after which she got another e gagement at three pounds a ss e Stimulated by this example, Mr. H well's fifth daughter, Lucy, deol' she would be an actress too, and as sister's instructors said they woul happy to take her in hand, she welt London likewise. But hereupon some truly good peel began to murmur aloud. It was �t that Mr. Harkwell intended that tone his daughters should becqme a. cirb rider, another a barmaid, and that !it youngest child, aged three, was etre` being trained by her mother to balm herself on a tight -rope. One, or two charitable associatin which had employed Mr. Harkwell, s their solicitor, dismissed him ;from ti t post of confidence, -drawing other char able clients away with them ; and It lawyer found he had reached rather! anxious crisis in his affairs. Bat' struggled on, and gradually Iwon be e clients than he had lost, for hard til spurred him to fresh exertions.

Wattleport, had seen his daughter act in Lona''. was so pleased that he called on. h father to say so, and from that dayt • IF to consulting him in all his affairs. Tfi s example was followed by others,' s • 4 rival lawyers soon notioedi that a gra:,t deal of important and respectable b i-{ ness somehow found its way irt`to Harkwell's office. • Thus five years more passed, and the end of that time the seed which t thoughtful father had apwil was beard fruit with a vengeance, Jenny a Lucy had been solucky as to make a gr hit in a play where they had appeal together and their reputation as char ing, admirably trained actresses �t established. On her nineteenth birf� day Jenny signed a. two years' enga, went for herself and her sister,by whiff she was to receive £1,200 a year, a Lucy £800. Evie, who after finishi her studies in France and .
