He says he intends coming to sea us at once, we being the only relatives he has on this side of the !" world. I had frgotten his very exiet- ence "He is not our er ?" " No ; his father only half-brothers to each other." 1 firlt cousin, is he, moth. , and your father were rut they were devoted "1 wonder wha be will be like ?" mused the eldest Miss Cantwell. "Awfully Colonial, you may be sure, sighed Ethel. 1 ' Why, yes, I fear so," said Mrs. Cant- well. "1 can barely remember him as a little fairhaired boy in knicker-bocker. You know his people all emigrated a few years after I married your poor father. I halo never held communication with any of then since my widowhood. However, Pat now informs me that his father and mother have been dead some years, and his only sister is settled in \ an Diemen's Lenti How trine flies !" 4 i, Was it not Uncle Philip, mother, who was- 89 kind to you wh n --when poor papa got ;into such trouble ?' asked Kitty Cant- well. "1 Yes ; he and his ife Rose did their best for us, though, I deed, that was no much, for they were lways in difficulties thernselves, poor peop 6. A careless, spend- thrift, good-for-nothi g race' were those Cantwells, every one of_thern, as I can tell to my wet. Ali, my dear girls," continue the mother, feelingly, "-let me never ceas impressieg on you the Warning of my fate If you value your future-eif you care fo peace, pleasure, happiness in this world never marry a poor man!" . 0 No, mother, we never will 1" the girl replied in a sweet trebel chorus. Mrs. Cantwell of the Laurels had been left an almost pennilesa widow at, the age of thirty, burdoned with Eve little girls. She had married for love, against the consent of all her people, a goodloolting young Trish• mail of a hopeful, happy nature, but of ex- tremely improvident habits; and she had lived bitterly to repent her choice—lived to repent it during the long wearisome strug- gle in which she had wasted the best years of her life. Yet she had fought a brave fight in the sacred cause of motherhood, had coaxed, cajoled, intrigued, made friends with the rich and powerful, had stooped to conquer, and had succeeded. 'After- an ab. Bence of nearly a quarter of a century, ehe returned one day to the town of her youth, and presented herself 1 and her attractive family before a well-to-do elder brother who had never married. Mr. Butler preteseed p n e Li 8 0 .t I -8 6 leasure at seeing hhesister, approved of his eiees—their appearanee, manners and edu- ation—and finally, on oondition of being eld free from all turther monetary respon- ibilities in connection with them, bestowed n Mrs. Cantwell an eXtremely pretty cot. age residence, surrounded_ by two acres of and. The cottage wait most conveniently ituated—outside the smoke and noise of he'city, and yet well within the haunts of , men, both legal, commercial and military. With a reetful sigh the anxious'Inother ssettled down, after her wanderings in foreign lands, among the hackneyed, haunts of the impecunious Briton, and soon the Laurels became one of the most attractive of man- traps in the neighborhood. -The drawing room was a long low room, daintily but • economically furnished, and draped in the latest artistic fashion; two French windows opened on to the lawn and the well -kept tennis -court, whence a shady walk led to a charming little rose bower; and beyond that again stretched an old-fashioned kitch- en garden, where on the summer evenings the girls might be seen, clad in tlie freshest of ehintzea, weeding, clipping, watering, assisted by kindhearted swains who had he entree of the premises. Friends old and new rallied round the family, though few indeed of the old ones recognized in Mrs. Cantwell, careWorn, wasted, yet distinctly elegant, the blooming young bride who had left thorn so many years before. Toil and 'trouble bad left a searing mark on the fair brow; her very nature too was changed; she had net been purified by the furnace of afliietion, but, on the contrary, hardened and embittered. To her all mankind was divided into two great sections—eligibles and ineligibles—men who would make good husbands for her daughters, and men who would not. Her .daughters were on her side—he found no difficnIty with them; as they had been trained, so, they bloomed—five Ar't HURON piposirrpR FEBRUARY 9, 19001 u pretty, charming, accomplished, et•as worldly and as *cuticle! young pers Os al this artificial century could produce.

Laurels; thrice a week Mrs. Ca twell was at home in her modest way to any friends who chose to drop in. She ould afford no costlier manner of reeeptio • she frankly admitted; and few young m u on whom she and her daughters smiled idled for any more elaborate style of ente tain- ment. •In feet, so charmingly and s eetly did these fine dameels receive their •treats that after balf-a-dt zen calls young lfred Robinson, of the Indian Civil Service u who had been paying stte,ntion to Miss Dora Grain!, the rich brewer's daughter—r tor- ously invited the eldest Mies Cantwell to ptrewide at his teadable in the valley •t the Neilgherriee, which invitation she had lad. ly accepted, to the entire approbati n of her family. Maud. the 8eoond girl, t king her place at the vacant board, had SoO en- gaged the affectione of a rising youn bar- risterawith some private means, to hom she was to be married after Chris matt. There yet remained three unmated, o e of whom—Miss Kitten--waa rather a ho • eless case. She was the only dark blosso n on , the family bush, utterly unlike the ther • girls, who taking after their mother, ere'' tall, slim and stately, fair-haired and.me- eyed, while Kitty was Rhea, rather s out, with a bright brown face, gray eyes and dark curly hair. She was not at all ill looking, bat she certainly managed t 'mar the family harmony. One of the maternal theorits cameo lung Kitty, and with which the young lady her- self fully agreed, was that she req ired greater tone and variety in her attire ban the other girls. • lit nee she affected' very brilliant and at times even startling s tides and shapes in her garments, was very par- tial to large crystal ear -drops, jin ling bangles, sparkling ahains and neekl ces, Roman pearls, Alpine diamonds, and sim- ilar cheap but effective armor. In her manner and mental tone Kitty also struck out a line for herself. She had • one of the refinedsweetness, the calm digni y of her sisters. Her style was rather fag and flippant, and she laid sharp things • hich sometimes alarmed, at other times attr ted men. She would also, in the privacy o her home circle, favor the family with wild un. • reasonable tirades against the artifici lty, the small meannesses the massoe'uve ing, the false tone of theiriives—which tir des, however, only slightly disturbed the nxi- ous mother, for she knew that of all her children Kitty was the least likel to sacrifice herself on the alter of sentimen Patrick Cantwell, the orphan emig ant, was steaming aorosis the Pacifio, anxi tidy looking forward to the hour when, to the sake of " auld lang syne," he hoped t re- ceive a rapturous welcome to the ho e of poor Uncle Ted's widow, whom he re em- embered as a very beautiful young wo with bright golden hair and a pleasant oice and manners. The young Colonist arrived at the rels one wet evening when the girls wer assembled together, reading, working an and painting, in their pretty sitting -room. -The- first startled glance revealed to the family that their worst surmises were fully rea- lized- Cousin Pat was certainly rathe an alarming apparition as be stood on the threshold, blocking up the whole fr me - work of the door—a young man of al ost colossal .prop nsions, Clothed in gar ents that were woefully Colonial, with grea red hands and terribly shod feet. His b ight bold face was sunburned to a most ivid brick color, and,further inflamed by a ass of tawney hair, covering his lips, eh eke, chin, and even streaming down the ba k of his ooat. • Mrs. Cantwell was the first to re over from the shock of his appearance, and she advanced hastily to meet him. " My dear Pat, can this be really 'ou? What an immense fellow you have g.lowi !I should never have known you !" "Nor you," returned Pat, with nore frankness than consideration, as he wa tidy embraced his relative. • " By Jove, my •ear aunt, you have changed too! • I reme iber yeti- such a—a --" " Well, well, here are my girls, Pt— perhaps they will recall Inv youthful I oks pleasantly to you. Mend, Ethel, Cathe ane, Oriselda—you r cousin'Pa--" • But cousin Pat. required no further res- entation, for, before the startled mai ens could retreat or Utter the tahatest remons- trance, he had borne down on them and had swept each delicate cheek in turn ith the full luxutiance of his tawny mousta he. Then, seizing the flimsiest ,Queen nne chair in the room, and throwing his mi bty Lege astride it, he sat, his arms reetin on the quivering back, facing the astoni hed group, smiling on them a smile of perfect contentment and entire approbation, hile he entertained them in a loud clear v ice with an account of his voyage. When at last, in obedience to some oc ult sign sfrom -headquarters, the girls eac in turn escaped from his presence and as ern - bled in the dining -room, they surveyed ach other grimly for a few momenta, and then broke forth— . " I say, isn't he awful ?"—" A reg tar bushman !" - "A perfect orang•outang !"—" What ill people think of him ?" "Such a coat !"—" Such boots !"—" 8 ch a voice !" " And such impudence!" added :,Kitts "Yes—wasn't it impertinent of him ?" "I was never so taken aback in my life !" "A good thirg for him Sidney wa n't present !" said the engaged Mise Cantwel "And yet," continued Kitty, musin ly, "if you pick him to pieces, he is not an ab- • solutely bad -looking man. There's eno gh of him; certainly !" " Oh, he's exactly what -a, country ho se - maid would call a splendid figure o a man' !"

Cook & Sons. Don't you fear I" rs. Ca twell smiled a sickly smite and sail no more at the time. Though she re- tumfned to the attack, aide1 and abetted by he attentive daughters, though she de- scrbed in_glowing language the wonders of Lo.don, the delights of Paris, the beauties of :witzerland and the fair Rhine valley, it wa all of no use—this appalling young mai, clung to his purpose. He put up for an Indefinite time at a small commercial ho el in the neighborhood, and literally ha nted the Laurels. Morning, noon and ni ht his heavy footsteps, cheery laugh and rin ing voice echoed in the tortured ears of his affectionate aunts and cousins, There wa no getting rid of him. He proved to be ut erly impervious to snubs ; he would not take offence at anything; the )3tronges6 hi t, the most palpable sneer were alike un- avt fling to move the dense stupidity or the contemptable sweetness of his nature. f course this newly -found cousin was w fully in the way; his mighty presence seined to fill the room and drove away m e welcome guests; he dwarfed the ten- ni. !round, and the pretty shrubs that or- na ented the 'lawn. He was out of har- m ity with everyone and everything, and ye iho never seemed to discover this trying feel. Then the off -handed freedom and the bo °nue pf his tone and bearing towards all uests it the _Laurels, irrespective a age, ra , or moneyed importance, was most ex perating to his poltin relatives. Never in. ;ed would the girls forget the day wh.n a tremendous "swell" in the clikinards ho' red the family with a call, aftereet- ing hut Ethel at a dance two nights before, an cousin Pat managed to introduce him - eel i into a specially select tennis -est get up for he gentleman's entertainment, immedi- ate addressed him as "old fellow," and thel proceeded to chaff him good-humoredly on he incompetency of hie play. The stare wit which the warrior favored the uncons- ciou offender brought the blood rushing to the girls' fades; and, though Kitty at the timi was quite as annoyed as her sisters, stithafterwards she could not help laughing at the incident. To this young lady the rampant Colonial was rather a study, for never before bad she come aaross a man of his type. His supreme good hunror, his entire unconven- tionality, hijs wonderful frankness of man - r, combin d with a vague sense of power, th mentaij as well as physical, rhioh his esenee suggeeted, puzzled her greatly at me $ ; while his eallousnees to affronts ir- ritated her-ifilled her wit an unreasonable anger against him'agains herself and her peopile. At thew times t isvery forebear - once excite in 1 her feeling of admiration forhich eh could not distinctly account. Certtinly she had plenty of opportunities of stud ing the eccentricities of his character, ere than he sisters, and haying generally bein less ocoupied with suitors and admir- the eitioe of leading him off premises where his tresspaming was too obtrusive end dot- 1 trimontal. For instance, one morn rig when 1 young Dauber Browne came to give Indus- , trim' little Zeldie her weekly 41 ootich " in fine Arta, and the exuperaUg bushman I volunteered to superintend he les.on. and , guide their pallettes by the experfence of color- and shade -the picture they were jointly copying unfortunately represented a scene in Southern Australia, in whihh bold Pat discovered many defects and deficien- cies -4 -Kitty, taking pity on the discomfited artist, challenged the obtrusive critio forth to a game of tenni', and then, throwing her- ! _self sulkily down upon the grans, refused to : play, , " .What.did you ask no out for, then ?" • demanded Pat. 1 . " I asked you out because you were in the way! Didn't you sec they were dying, to get rid of you ? asked Kitty, shortlyt. , Pat's blue eyes opened wide in astonish- ! riling. 1 " Dyin to get rid of me, eh ? I -el won- der why. Zeldie can't find Mr. Dauber a very amu ing companion. He always etrikes me as being a bit of a muff." "Dauber Brown is the only son of his father, and he is a great railway c ntrao- tor !" "My dear Kitty," said Pat, lig ting a cigar and 'throwing himself OD the g aaa by • her side, "epigrammatic sentences of that kind ill become those girlish lips. What should railway contractors or any of their kind be to you or yours, basking an you do In the sunshine of a happy, peaceful, loving home from which you cannot take wing for some years ?" 'And why not pray ?" "Because your mother won't allow it. As soon as Sydney has carried away fair Maud, she will cage her other birds safely, so that in no circumstances can there be an- other flight from the family nestlfor ages and ages." "She has told you -so ?" " Yee • she told me and two or three other felows that hot afternoon we got jammed in between Zeldie's easle and the tea -table; and very fair ; and reasonable I thought her arguments Were.

I must confess there is much in what she "Pat," said Kitty, fixing her gray eyes, with a critical expression upon his placid countenance, "do you know you puzzle me?

It is often said that the reason why young men show a disinclination to marry when their Incomes—thong not large—wotald yet admit the luxury o a wife, is beektise they are afraid to take girls out of luxurie ous homes, where everfr wish is gratified and girls grown up in modest household8 are not to their taste. The general idea undoubtedly is that for men of very moder- ate means the proper wives are girls who have been brought up in a "small way," and who have learned to inake a shilling go as far as possible, and are adepts at econ- omy in things great and small. But ex- perience often points to the opposite. It is the girl accustomed to wealth who Makes the best poor man's wife. Given good ' health, a clear head, and a detetmination to make the best of things, she nearly &limp' becomes a real helpmate and not a draw- back. She kpows what money will do, and what it will not, and is more careful than her poorer sititer, who, having been ,pinah- big and screwing all her life, thinks $500 a Destiny Changed.

The novelty of the whole thing amuses her far more than a round of gaieties did, when, dressed in smart clothes, she hurried from one party to another, meeting nearly alwaye the same people, who did not interest her in the east. Of course, she will have much to learn. "Rome was not built in & day," nor is a perfect housewife made in a, few 1 years.
