"Ay, I had a brother once," returned
Caleb, Ireandly ; " he was deformed,

"Yes, just for fun," returned the

So speaking, with less anger in my. voice
Than sorrow, I rose quickly to depart."
Carwen Leigh.
Queenie Marriott was right in assert-
ing that she never failed to undertake
asaything to which she had really made
up her mind. Strong impulses were
rare with her ; but now and then they
gained lthe mastery, and overbore all
dread cf opposing obstacles. At such
times the forces of her mind lay dormant;
argument could not shame, persuasion,
even conviction, availed nothing. In
such moods Queenie was inexorable,
and triumphed in the exercise of her self-
will.
" I have nothing to lose in this mat-
ter, and all to gain," she had said. to
Cathy. On the afternoon orthe next
half -holiday she had arrayed herself,
with the stoicism of a young Spartan,
and, with the help of feminine art and
canning arrangement, had even given a
certain style to her shabby garments.
"No one could take you for anything
but a. lady," Cathy said, as she watched
her, half emiously and half enviously;
"when people look at you they will not
notice what you wear, I mean. I wish
I knew where you learnt deportment,
my dear Madam Dignity. There," as
Queenie buttoned her old gloves with a -
resolute air, "I.-eannot even lend you
my pretty new ones, they would be
ever so iitich too large."
