We had quite a little excitement her last night. Lulu took tea here, by Uncle Simon ts invitation, and Mr. Parker happened in afterward. Mr. Parker was livelier than usual, quite brightening up under Lulu's chatter I am beginning to suspect him of an in elination id that quarter, the more so as Uncle Simon watched them jealously, "cutting " at every opportunity. His face quite beamed, when 1 took pity upon him, and inveigled Mr. Parker iuto a corner, leaving the field free for him. Talking to Mr. Parker was more up hill work than ever, with his glances straying away every moment to Lulu's corner. So it was & relief when Uncle Simon went into the dining -room to at- tend to the fire. One of the many ways in which Uncle Simon maddens Aman- da, is by poking and prying continually lUtOT every stove and fire -place in the house, under the firm conviction that no one can atten,d properly to fires but himself. After be had left the room, Lulu and Mr. Parker drifted together, while I kept my seat, which commanded the doer of the dining-robm across the hall. Suddenly, through a crack in the din- ing -room door, I saw a flash of brilliant light;. then came an insane scuffling and scurrying, and muffled shouts and ejacu- lations in. Uncle Simon's s-oice. Of course we all rushed into the dining - room, to find Uncle Simon incapable, for once, of giving advice, as he capered wildly about the room, quite inicertain what to de. In the course of his ex- plorations he had taken out the ash pan and set it upon a newspaper, to preserve the carpet from injury. Being hot, as ash pans are apt to be, the paper had _smouldered for a moment, and then flashed suddenly into a blaze. Mr. Parker was the only one of us who had any sense. He took in the situation at once, and rushing from the room, returned with some dark object, which he threw over the burning paper, pressing and trampling it down until the flames were completely smothered. Uncle Simon looked at the ruins for a moment, as Mr. Parker removed the charred remains of his new overcoat. "For once," I thought, "Uncle Simon will find it impossible to give advice." But I was mistaken. It is all Amanda's fault," said Unele Simon. " What does she mean by keep- ing her ash -pans so hot? I must go and speak to her about it." Even Amanda, the long-suffering, blazed up this time as fiercely as the paper had done. I heard her voice, choked with angry tears; but any idea of the mischief Uncle Simon was doing, I had not, for Lulu was whispering in my ear : "I had a letter from George Maxwell, to -day. He wants to know how you are getting on, and why you don't write to him. -What shall I say?" "Say ? _Let her say what she pleases. If he wants to know about me, let him ask me himself. It is an impertinence to send messages in this roundabout way. What is it to me? 11 p. m. Just as I wrote the last word, Amanda came to my door. "1 can't stand it no longer, she said. " It ain't the worinI mind— no, Miss, it ain't the work—but it's this beastly nag, nag, nagging, that an angel of light couldn't stand, let alone the olcl fellow hiznself, saving his presence! He must teach me to boil, and bake, and roast, and fry, to knead bread, and scrub floors, and make beds, and the dear knows what all! I've got a sick sister and a lame brother, and he gives good wages, or.I couldn't have stood it as long as I have. I'm at the end of my patience now, though, and good luck to him with the next one! I pinned a dish -cloth to his coat-tail, once," said Amanda, with a hysterical giggle - "and he wore it all day. I took it off at night, unbeknown - est to him, and he's been wondering ever since what made folks laugh so that day. I'm sorry- to leave you, Miss, but him I can't stand, nor won't. Only one thing, Miss, don't you go to cooking for him, not if he goes down on his bended knees. A saint's own temper couldn't stand ft, and you'd find wrinkles coming round your pretty eyes before you knew No, Amanda, I shall not cook for him —not I-s-Pll starve, first. I wonder whether our breakfast will be early to- morrow? " The day will come, and we shall be wiser," as Gregory Lopez was fond of saying. November 22. It wasn't early, and it wasn't good. I was awakened about eight o'clock by a modest knock at my door. I answered through the key hole Amanda has gone," said Uncle Si- mon. Then I expressed all due sur- prise. " Can you cook ?" was the next in- quiry, to which I returned a prompt and. decided negative. Having by this time struggled into a wrapper, I opened my door to find. Uncle Simon looking uncommonly thoughtful. "You are sure you cannot Cork, Mad - the?" he asked again. "Dear Uncle, what chance have I ever had to learn? But that does not matter, for you excel in it, you know." "Do I?" said Uncle Simon, rather dubiously. But I replied briskly Why, certainly. How often I have heard you giving Amanda directions, and wondered at your skill! What a breakfast we shall have! I am hungry already, at the thought of it. Uncle Simon went down stairs slow- ly, very slowly, and I am afraid that I laughed to myseif while completing my toilet., iiThe cloth was crooked, when I went down at last; the plates didn't match; there was not a spoon upon the table; but all that was nothing,. Such coffee! such toast ! such black, chippy, scram- bled eggs! and such a woful Uncle Simon It waswicked, but I laughed until I cried, as I surveyed the whole scene. "I have always heard, said, Uncle " that it is much easier to do things yourself, than to tell others how, but I begin to doubt it." Uncle Simon went, off on a servant - hunt after breakfast, and I washed up the dishes and put the things away, tol- erably certain that I should not be found fault with this time. Lulu came while I was about it. "It's precious little use for him to go servant -hunting," she said. "People about here know him a great deal too well." . It took only one look at Uncle Simon's face, when he came in at last to know that his mission had been& dead failure. He glanced at the table, still covered with its red cloth. Dinner will be late, to -day, Uncle Simon," I said. Uncle Simon gepaned, but said noth- ing, and. presently I heard him knock- ing the things about in the kitchen. Feel mean : Of course I did. Under any other. circumstances I should have tried my hand at cooking, and no doubt made a thorough botch of it. As it is, I feel a d masterly inactivity" to be the only safe course. The door opens, and Uncle Simon's head appears. "How long do they generally boil po- tatoes, Maddie ?" Till they are done," I reply, prompt- ly. "Yes, but when are they done ?" "When they are fit to eat." We do not seem likely to get much nearer to it than this, and at present the success of the dinner seems problemati- cal. 5 p. m. A steak, very black outside, and very pink and transparent within, and potatoes with hard lumps in the middle—that was our dinner. Luckily, Amanda left us plenty of bread and but- ter, and the preserve closet is well stocked. After dinner I gave Uncle Simon a little advice in my turn, and we sallied out in search of provisions which need little or no cooking. With plenty of eggs, and canned provisions, we may carry on the siege for a while. I shall keep my eye upon Amanda, and am not without hope of inveigling her back, when Uncle Simon is quite tired of the present state of affairs. November 26. I think both Uncle Simon and I weigh a few pounds less than we did a week ago. Under our starvation regime, Un ele Simon has waxed meeker and meek- er every day. When it came to the pros- pect of eating a Thanksgiving dinner of his own cooking, he fairly collapsed. Then I decided that the time had come, and went in search of Amanda. She was 'loth to come back at first, but yielded to my representations of the altered state of affairs. I don't think Uncle Simon has been in the kitchen once since her return. In other re- spects he is gradually becoming more like himself, though decidedly subdued. And now about my own private af- fairs. It was on my way back from Amanda's, that I met him. "Him," of course, means George Maxwell. He was looking very fierce and angry when we first met, but softened a little as we shook hands. I supposed that he had come to see Lulu Belden, -and took very good care to express no surprise at his presence. I chatted on for awhile about the state of affairs at Old Farm, but he stopped me .suddenly. "Don't talk about such things now, Maddie. You know why I have come. Don't pretend to ignore it." • I stared at him. I had no idea what he meant, nor what answer he expect- ed. "1 have come," he continued, " to ask you why not one of my letters has ever been answered—why I have never heard a word from you since that first note which was filled with praises of Arthur ,Parker? Is he the cause of your si- lence. "Arthur Parker !" I cried, and then went into a fit of laughter which must have convinced the most incredulous. "But what do you mean by your let- ters? I have never had a line from you since I have been here." Georke stared in his turn. "I have written to you six times," he said.. Finally I grew wild, and wrote to .Lulu Belden to inquire about you. Her answer told me that you were well, and that‘was all. At last I could stand it no longer, and came to see for myself. But what on earth can have become of the letters ?" Evidently the wisest course was to go to the postoffiee and ask about them. The first inquiry brought forth the en- tire budget, which I grasped as one who has found a treasure: "Why in the world were they not given to Mr. Jones when he asked for Miss Barry's letters ?" asked George, and the postmaster laughed. "He never asked for them, and we didn't know who Miss Barry was. _ Mr. Jones doesn't come here any more for his mail. He has his letters sent to Eastbourne, three miles away." " What does he do that for ?" George naturally asked. The postmaster hesitated. "Well, you see—you're some kin to him, and may be you know his little ways. It's about a month ago now, that he wanted to show us how to sort the mail—by the initials of tire first name, instead of the last. We didn't feel like taking his advice, and so " " I see," said George; and then we • both laughed. "So you were not deeply smitten with Parker, after all," said Georg. "Not 1; but what about you and Lulu Belden?" I asked. • "You know, of course; that this is the rock upon which Uncle Simon and I split," said George. " Because you bath admired her, and he was jealous," I said, sagely; at which George fairly roared. "Not exactly. Because he wanted me to admire her, and I wouldn't, or rather I admire somebody else more. He advised me to address her, and when I declined, further advised me to leave the farm, which I did." There is no use writing down any more of that episode. There is no fear of my ever fogetting it, and as this jour- nal is written solely for my own eyes, it would clearly be a work of supereroga- tion. November 29. Yesterday George ate his Thanksgiv- ing dinner with me. Uncle Simon was dazed at first by the news which we bad to tell him, but, after some cogitation, was moved to look upon it favorably. More than that, it seems that I am something of a favorite with him, in view of which fact George is to be taken back into favor. Next week I go back to my school, the scarlet fever having disappeared, and George will take my place here until next spring, and then something may happen which will bring me back to reign over the old place as its mistress. "it isn't what I meant for either of you," said Uncle Simon ruefully. "You know what my plans were for you, George, and Madeline I had intended for young Parker. I promise -d him the first chance" I fairly jumped as Uncle Simon re- vealed the plot which I had never sus- pected. No wonder Mr. Parker always S.4 looked like a flsh' out of water in my presence. " The only thing I can see now," con- tinued Uncle Simon, thoughtfully, "is for Lulu and Parker to put up with your leavings. I shall advise them—" No, dear Uncle Simon, for Heaven's sake, no more advice I" I cried. " Just see the havoc it has, wrought in your own household, and would you go on scattering it recklessly about the world? You will have the universe in a blaze 1" Uncle 'Simon laughed, rather sheep- ishly, and was silent. Doubtful. Leopold Von Ranke, who is regarded in Germany as the greatest of all his- torians,died a few weeks ago, at a great age. is aim in writing history was, as he stated fifty years ago, to set forth the colorless truth, without any tinge from his own opinion. His books are, therefore, a collection of facts, un warmed by the special pleading which makes the pages of more brilliant his- torians interesting and untrustworthy. It is said that when Von Ranke first began to collect facts for his history, a singular accident occurred in his native town.' A small bridge gave way one morning, and some passengers were swept away in the current beneath. Von Ranke was absent at the time, but returned the next day, and inquired into the details of the catastrophe. "1 saw the bridge fall," said one of his neighbors. " A heavy wain had just passed over it, and weakened it. Two women were on it wheu it fell, and a soldier on a white horse." "1 saw it fall," declared another; "but the wain had pissed over it two hours previons. The- foot -passengers were children, and the rider was a ci- vilian on a black horse." "Now, said Von Ranke "if it is im- possible to learn the truth about an ac- cident which happened at broad noon- day, only twenty-four hours ago, how can I declare any fact to be certain which is shrouded in the darkness of ten centuries ?" He often declared that much of his caution and impartiality was due to this trivial incident. - =i All educated people desire to gain a true idea of the events of history, but very few of them can afford the time to examine into original documents to ob- tain this knowledge. The best course, perhaps, is to rea.d the accounts of two historians of differing opinions and par- ties concerning each epoch, and to take a middle ground of belief. The same plan is best in judging of living persons. Marriage -Service Blunders. Ignorance is the mother of blunders. An English clergyman, the incumbent of a parishwheremany of the laborers were unable to read, amused himself in noting the blunders they made while re- peating after him the words of the mar-• riage-service. One groom, when . giving the ring to the bride, said: " With my -body I thee wash up (worship); and with all my hurdle (worldly) goods I then thou (endow.)" A bride one day almost startled hin out of his self-control by promising to take her husband "to 'ave and to 'old /froth this day fortn't, for, betterer horse, for richerer power, in siggerness health, to cherries, and to bay.', She thought she was repeating the words, "to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worse'for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to ohey." Another ignorant bridegroom, who could read a little, had " crammed " be. fore taking his place before the altar. But, unfortunately, he had also read the baptismal service, and the answer to its question, "Dost thou renounce the devil and all his works ?" lingered in his mind. When asked, "Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?" he answered, "1 renounce thern all." A candid girl gave a muchbetter an- swer. She .had been foreed by her parents to a disagreeable , match, and when the clergyman _ asked her, "Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband ?" she replied,—" Oh dear, no, sir; but you are the first person whe has asked my consent to tire match !" Self -Control. A bright young girl once excused her- self for a senseless and unladylike dis- play of -temper with the remark " cannot help ; I inherit my temper from my father; I'm just like him." A woman who loved her dearly overheard the remark, and took occasion, not long after, to ask her if she was sorry she had such a temper. 'Very; it gives me lots of trouble. I wish I could get rid of it." "Would you not be sorry to give such a temper to a child of yours ?" was _then asked. A lcok of horror came into her eyes, but no answer was given. From that moment a change was noticed in the girl by her most intimatelfriends. A new force was awf. kened—self-control. 'She had heard so often that her quick temper was inherited that the - idea of personal -responsibility in its control had never occurred to her before. Is it not frequently true that inherited moral dis- eases are allowed free reign because the afflicted and -their friends consider them incurable? Yet ,this .position is not taken in matters of physical inheritance. Maudsley says that an examination into the physical tendencies of his family will be a guide to an intelligent man in' the care of his own health and in his indul- gences; that if a Mayi develop a certain disease, the -explanation that his father or mother had the same disease is con- sidered a sufficient reason, and nothing more is to be said, when, -in &Anal fact, the inherited tendency should have been a warning against a certain line of life, that led naturally to the intensifying of the predisposition. If a man inherits insanity, he Shows wisdom just so far as he leads a rational, healthful life, care- fully avoiding that which excites undue in His parents are to blame if, in boyhoOd, a taste for quit, ;healthful pleasures and work has not - been fostered. If the curse of a love of drink has been transmitted, every energy of guardians and teachers should be bent -to develop a normal appetite for healthful foods, and as early as possible a child should be warned of the demon lurking to de- stroy it, to be overcome only by the help of God and the power and habit of self-control. —Smoker—L,-,ok here, Isaac, this cigar I just bought of you won't draw.
