her heart would break the cause of her crying lay iu al experience of tha day before but her temper had sustained her thus far till ten oclock the next mornings when anguish had taken the place of anger aud she had abandoned herself to grief and regret a carriage drove up to the door and the bell rang mrs bronson drying her eyes as well as she could ran down stairs sare of whom she would find there oh aunt eunice she exclaimed open her arms to receive a serenefaced and whitehaired old lady who stood smil ing on the doorstep im so glad youve come the welcome ahoue lu her ej es and need ed uo words uotwithstandiug the flushed and tearstained face at which aunt eunice looked wonderiugly ive been hoasecleaniug more thau a week mrs bronson explained as she lea the way into the little sittingroom i hoped to get to rights before you came but you see i couldnt quite accomplish it and somebody has been painting and papering i see this is delightfdl 3dra howland looked about the room with esident pleasure it is certainly dehghtf ul to have a clean house but aunt eunice id give more just now for a clean conscience mrs bronsous lip trembled and the tears began to fall again tell me all about it niy dear aud mrs howland drew the younger woman down beside hertrpoa the sofa with tender invitations of conndeuce and mute promise of unlimited sympathy it was not easy for mrs bronaou to be gin the telling he touched the plain gold ring on her aunts finger a wedding ring ive had my first quarrel with harry she said at last in a queer broken voice the result of her effort to keep her self control that is weve had a dreadful time but it always takes twjomfce a quarrel as well as a bargain cloesnt it and there was only ooe iu this case v mrs howland asked only oue and i was the one thats the worst of it you see i never worked so hard in my life as i have the last week why aunt eunice ive actually scrubbed floors and bhe spread out her plump lit tle hands with a comical gesture i hired a woman for two days i couldnt afford to have her longer and between us we got the carpet down but there wasnt a single thing in place when harry came home last night nothing i mean except the f urni ture all the books and knickknacks were jiiled into the closet and the pictures were standing around you see every picture nail was pulled out of the wall and it was anything hot easy to drive- them in again so far up well i asked harry to wipe the dishes for me after tea so we could get to work as soon as possible of course 1 supposed hed help me and be glad to do it but what do you think aunt eunice f he just came into the sittingroom threw himself down on the lounge and took a newspaper out of his pocket i never was so astonished in my life i was too aston ished to speak even so i didnt speak i went for the stepladder dragged it along to the mantelpiece and climbed up 00 it to pound that great nail into the wad pi hammer wasnt half ug enough either and i hurt my hand awfully see there 1 and she pointed to a little bruise on one of 88 her fingers then i got down again aud lifted that m youi wedding present aunt eunice aqd managed im sure i dont knojv how to get it on to the nail just as i was gulling the ladder away harry became conscious of what i was about oh let me help yon 1 he cried as pleasantly aa possible threw down his paper and took hold of the ladder by that time i was just furious think of his not noticing and not trying to help me all that time 1 no i thank you i said as hatefully as i posaibly could tisnt likely you would feel any particular interest in fixing up your own home if you could have vxa the look he gave me i but i didnt appear to notice him the ladder was so heavy i had all i could do to man age it i gave it a vicious twist and it toppled over struck the mantel and the picture aud smashed the glass info fifty pieces harry laughed and that was the worst of all will you let me help ou now he said no i wont harry bronson never as long as i live he gave me that queer look again muttered some thing i dont know what but harry ne ver ewears and took op his hat and left the house of course i expected him back in a few minutes but aunt eunice and mrs bronson laid her hand on her aunts knee to emphasize the statement which she made in a most impressive manner it was halfpast eleven before he came back of course i was in bed though i worked the whole evening as hard as i could spring you know how you can work when your tempers up though i dont suppose you do aunt eunice she added youre too good mrs howland smiled significantly and shook hathead harry thought i was asleep when he came but i didnt sleep one bit all night we didnt speak to each other this morn- ing either not one single word i never was so miserable in all the days of my life and harry wont be home till six 9 clock tonight the temporary excitement of her talk died away in another storm of tears mrs howland tightened the clasp of her arm about her nieces waist well talk over this some time when youre not so excited she said gently i insist upon your lying down for an hour and using all the will power you possess to get calm again but the house is in such a state and then there6 lunch and never mind about the house i can help you myself wheu im a utile rested aud we neednt think about lunch for three hours yet mrs howland had her way as she gen erally did and for that reasou it was for tunate that her way was generally a wise one she sat beside her niece until the tears ceased flowing and the tense har rowed nerves gradually relaxed under her soothing presenos then left her to fall asleep if possible twenty minutes after harry bronson came home he greeted mrs howland as affectionately as his wife had done then looked anxiously into the next room wheres sis he inquired upstairs asleep i hope i made her lie down but why are you home at this hour harry i dont feel well aant eunice i didnt times troublesome article human nature the elder lady replied one is too sensi tive the other too thoughtless one sees things in detail as women usually do the other in the large a days difference in getting a house to rights is a great deal of difference m the housekeeper it may very naturally seem of very slight account to the man who spends all his days down town i suppose you see how the same principles might apply to many different things mrs bronson nodded her head vigorous ly lifting it from her husbands shoulder for the purpose it is certainly unreasonable to expect that the man and woman will see things from exactly the same point of view mrs howland went on yet half the misery of married life comes from a failure to recog mze that fact to the husband or the wife harry bronson asked with a twinkle in his eye to the wife first naturally the more sensitive one she is hurt then she grows angry or melancholy half the time at least the husband is puzzled to i know wherein he has offended being so perfectly innocent in intention then what else can be expected he grows angry at her for being unreasonable and what a com fortable state of things is the result i told a out eunice about it as soon as she got here mrs bronson volunteered humbly 1 j and i told her as scon as i got here her husband added and we will never never quarrel again harry i ix you can learn to eipect less and harry can think to give more aunt eunice said impressively your accounts will balance as a general thing it will take time though you know that heaven is not reached by a single bound but we build the ladder by which we rise harry quoted not a stepladder i hopr laughedhis wife a little excitedly that was what nearly broke cur hearts as well aa the madonnas head and you must climb together mrs howland added hold of hands too as far as possible not on the ground on each side of the ladder and pulling different ways mrs brouson regretted that the article which suggested the metaphor belonged to oue of the painters who took it away the next day for aa she declared id like to keep it before me as an hourly reminder of aunt eunices advice ripe rd raspberries raspberries red will yon boy madam buy many a mileln the ton

till night im always tired ont when i get home y was last night but i offered to wipe the dishes for her she looked so dragged out after that i lay down to rest and read the paper the first thing i knew there was sis tugging away at a greatatep- ladder heavy for a man tdhandle i jump ed up to help her hut i wont tell you what ahe said i couldnt haliave mv ears if she wanted me to help her why didnt ahe say so i should think that was easy enough yes it was easy enough in one way and altogether too hard in another prob ably she wanted you to do it without her asking but i didnt think of it very likely that was the whole trouble she might have been hurt because you didnt think pshaw thats unreasonable weve never quarreled before since we were mar ried i couldnt stand it going off this morning aa i did so i got away from the office to to i know i was to blame sis was as tired as x was and shes not half so strong i dont wonder she hated to ask me jl i was loo stupid to see it was all my fault f no twasnt harry it was all mine v they both started as a figure with white face and red eyes ranlnto the room and into her husbands arms the little do mestic drama which followed might hare

last week publishes the following letter from mr jasmenzies reeve of nassagaweya and one of the most influential and widely known residents in halton county dxaa snt according to promise 1 send you a few lines in regard to the working of the scott act in this bounty i suppose you are aware from experience that the way to find out whether a person is in favor of the act or opposed to it is- to ask the question how does the scott act work in this county ii opposed to it the answer will be it is a failure ii in favor of the act the answer wfll be it is a success now that a man may vote honestly and intel ligently on this matter either in this or any other county he ought to know where it has failed and where it is sasoscaful if the fact that liquor has been sold in this county since the passage of the act is true then it has bees a failure as witness the convictions but we have frequent violations of other laws and no one thinks of these laws being failures i believe the scott act has been fairly successful in this coun ty drunkennebs has largely decreased as ev by our county and township tall exhibitions and other gatherings the congregation of our young men and boys in the barrooms has entirely ceased as far as my observation gees and i think that this is one of the grandest achievements of the scott act because it was with recruits from these that the great army of drunk ards was kept up yon will also have no ticed in your travels in this county the different answers given to the question has the scott act injured business from one party the answer will bej nol and from the other it has ruined busi ness but if you have gone a little further as i have done and asked some one who is crying that business has been mined has your business decreased v oh no but business in general they seem to think that with their superior business ability decrease would be out of the question with very few exceptions we have the same accommodation as we had before the pass ing of the act 8ome people say that the tables are not as abundantly provided bat personally i have found ne difference in this township nassagaweya there were three hotels under the license system we have now two in campbellville we had two hotels and two stores before tbe-paes- mg of the act we have now one of the former and three of the latter yours truly airss mexzxes campbellville july 38th
