' “0h, 0, not sick at all," returned Mary, and then, as she saw the chair, with its cushions and pillows, she burst into a loud laugh, which finally ended in a- hearty cry, when she thought how kind was every one to IOU. . She had been at home but a few days when she was solicited to take charge of a small select school. But Mrs. Mason thought it best for her to return to Mount Holyoke, and ac- cordingly she declined Mr. Knight’s offer, greatly to his disappointment, and that of many others. Mrs. Brad- ley, who never on any occasion paid her school bill, was the loudest in her complaints, saying that, “for all Tim never lost a speck, and stood at the foot all summer long when Mary kept before, he‘d got so sassv there was no living with him, and she wanted him out of the way.” Widow Perkins instead of being sorry was glad,- for if Mary didn’t teach, there was no reason why Sally Ann shouldn’t. “You’ll never have a better chance,” said she to her daughter, “there’s no stificut needed for a private school, and I’ll clap on my things and run over to Mr. Knight’s before he gets off to his work.” __ v.0“)r "Vin- It was amusing to see Mr. Knight’s look of astonishment when the widow made her application.

She was a rapid walker, and almost before she was aware of it, reached the village. As she came near Mrs. Campbell’s the wish naturally arose that Ella should accompany her. Looking up she saw her sister in the garden and called to her. Val-AW UV 1.: “Whaâ€"aâ€"t?” was the very loud and uncivil answer which came back to her, and in a moment Ella appeared round the corner of the house care- lessly swinging her straw flat, and humming a fashionable song. 0n see- ing he_r _sister she _drev:v back the corn- â€"_â€"-‘L:â€"n Dunn, """U" - â€"y calling me, you looked so much like her in that gingham sunbonnet.

Fond as Mr. Stuart was of music. he did not call for a repetition from her, but tum- ing to Mary asked if she could play. Ella laughed aloud at the idea. and when Mary replied that she did play a little, she laughed still louder, say- ing, “Why she can’t play. unless it's ‘Days of Absence’ with'one hand, or something of that kind.” "Allow me to be the judge.” said Mr. Stuart, and leading Mary to the piano, he bade her play anything she pleased _- .u .

Mr. Stuart of course volunteered his services. and after a violent turning of the music-stool by way of elevating it. and a taming back by way of low- ering it, Ella, with the air of a martyr. declared herself ready to play what- ever Mr. Stuart should select, pro- vided it were not “old.”‘ For a. moment Mr. Stuart regarded her with an expression which it seem- ed to Mary she had seen before, and then consulting his much. said. he must go, as it was ggarly_w tune. :‘Z'Zhgigbéifig'midé; she dashed on Into a spirited yelp. ‘s‘lxippileg a good 5‘ _ ._2AL ed so much, and who was her teach- er; adding that. her fingering was wretched; "but then," said she. “I suppose you can" help it, your fingers are so stifi !” _ 7 ‘ _ 0000A A delicious drink and a sustaining load.
