When John Milling on thea, one of Mrs. John Millington's secret consola- tions was the thought hat she should be able now to carry •n their business a,ccoraing to her own ideas, and to make some of the ch ges for which her ainbitious heart sad been vainly pining many a. year— any a year in- _ deed, for, as she recol °G&W distinctly, now that she came to ook back, it was in the very first year o her apprentice- ship at sewing wigs th t she had said timidly to Mr. Milnagton one day, “Don't you think, air, hat it would be a sight handier waitin on the custom- ers if the short red counter was took down? It's no kind o use, except to tuek away rubbish un er, which is al- ways a bad thing to aye too handy, 'and—" "My good little girl,' said John Mil- lington, in his loftiest one, "I run this business. Attend to y ur work." • On which pretty lit le Nellie Sim- mons tossed her . hea misehievously, and thought to herself„."Very well, Mr. Millington; ,perhaps y U. won't alwaye _inn this business, and hen we'll see if that old red counter is bound to be iu the way of everybody going in .or put of the shop." John Millington wa a widower!—at least so he called him elf; but be was, in fact, worse off tha that. He had married, _ehortly after he death of his first wife, a dashing widow,about whom he knew little or nothi g, but very soon . learned so much that he parted from her in hot haste, and procured a di- vorce without difficult, . This had left him sore and bitter, a d very distrust- ful, and for many year he scarcely so much as looked at any woman, even if he were dressing her h ir or measuring her head for.a wig. But from the day Nellie SirOTTIOTIS took , er seat in his shop, and bent her graceful head over the old smooth -worn wig block on which she was making her first attempt at sewing dead hair into a lace founda- - tion, he found it hard o take his eyes from her piqtiant, ro schievous, affec- tionate little face. Hi was a reticent and dictatorial man b nature, and his unhappy matrimonial experience had so increased both the; traits that he was not a pleasant raa ter to serve, and none of his work-pe.pie loved him. The shop was a silen place, although there were some half- ozen men end girls busy there fro seven in the morning till late at ight. Fashion- able women, and men too, came at all hours of the day to e made young again—so far as false hair could go to- ward doing it—and ery droll were many of the revelatio B of tbe weak- ne,sses of human natur whichthe poor simpletons IL:incensed() sly made. It was a convulsive and rrepressible gig- gle from Nelly on one of these occasiOns, which first broke down the barrier of reserve between her and her employer. When she was reprimanded for it, and sharply,.too—for John Millington i was much too politic t allow .rich cus- tomers 'to be offended. in his shop— Nelly looked up at hi archly through her tears, and said : "Indeed, I'd ha' died, sir, if I hadn't a,' buat out in that laugh. To look a the`old woraten with the big bags und.e her eyes"—and here Nally, taking eau age from agleam in John Millington's face, suddenly pulled down and pine ed out her own pretty underlids` wit her fingers— "with the big yellow ags under her eyes, and her raouth ft 11 of false teeth, a-askin' you to bang h r hair, sir !" 11) John Millington lau:hed in spite of himself, and in such a case as his he who laughs is lost. hen and there, in the twinkling of an mons saw, and all he tices saw, that a tii when she couldtwist her thumb.

Re learned to trust to her judg- ment, however, and to feel some pride in the thought that when he died, his "little woman" would he quite equal to carrying on the busineis,a.nd keeping up • the reputation of the Old stand. If he had known, however, how firmly bent she was upon all the innovations which she had in vain suggested to him, he would have gone to his grave much less easy in his mind. "And as for that old red counter, I believe he'd ha' had it buried with .hina," said Nelly to one of her bosom • friends, "if he'd once so mach as thought I'd tear it down. You see, I hadn't said anything to -him about it for so long, he'd forgotten it. What's the use,when a man's made up his mind and you cau't move him? I never used to badger him about anything after I saw 'twa'n't any use. Mr. M. was a man you couldn't take liberties with, see that your- ut his lips up me no answer, well stop.
