Surely she said an. elderly lady, and the only person in the ladies’ roOm is a tall, graceful-looking young girl, dressed in mourning.” “But here is the trunk with her" name. and Jones says there was only one lady got off the train, and this bagâ€" gage belonged to her, so it must be Miss Edwards.” “Well,- I suppose, nothing venture, nothing have, so I will put on my best front, and inquire, loan but apologize 1 if mistaken.” “ By Jove l Percival is lunnding her into the carriage. “What can a girl like that mean by accepting a situation housekeeper? I wonder what Ella will say to her paragon of an elderly lady of twenty summers. Guess I’ll cut across the field, and prepare the way for her.” And Phil Brotherton, a fine specimen of _'a‘ six-footer, broad shouldered and manly, with eyes full of merriment, took the “short cut,” and reached the house just.“ the carriage came in View, and l ment of the htusekeeper’s arrival. “ She is fair, and less than forty. By the way, Ella how did you know that Miss Edwards was an elderly lady I” . “I did not know that she was; I merely took it for granted that only a person advanced in years would apply for such a position." And Mrs. Percival, a frail, delicateâ€"looking lady of about thii‘ty years of age, rose from a reclining lounge, smoothed back the disâ€" ordered hair from her aching temples, and seated herself in an easy chair, ready to receive the new comer. A few months previous to the Open- ing of our story, Mrs. Percival was stricken with asevere attack of typhoid fever, from which she had never fully recovered. The many cares and per- plexities of governing a household, in her shattered state of health, inducel her to secure the services of a house- ‘ keeper who was competent not only to exercise a general supervision of the house, but of the two children. And so it was with a feeling not only of aston- ishment, but of disappointment, that she beheld the young and beautiful stranger new ushered into her presence, though, with the true instinct of a lady, she betrayed no feeling beyond that of kindly welcome. “Miss Edwards, I am sorry to have left your reception to Oak Lawn to the tender mercies of the little ones, but this has been a day of suffering, and I have not been able to leave my room.” “Pray do not apologize; though a shy, it was a kindly welcome, and their sunny little faces relieved the strangeâ€" ness. I am so used to-children.” ‘ “ I feared that I was hardly explicit enoughjxi my letter, and that you failed to realize the care and responsibility that must necessarily rest upon you, You 1001: young and unexperienced_ You need apprehend no trouble with Mi», unmaud are old enough'to'wait' on themselves 5 still/, i with overtaxed strength which all were 'too occupied to see, how could she but grow sensitive and morbid’l To Mrs. Percival she always came with a smiling face, the same tender touch and gentle words, “ a ministering angel.” But, on this bright, June evening, even here her drooping spirits failed, and her son. cried out against her. Nothing but the thong t of her little sisters dependent on her cncrgy restrainedhcr from waver- ing in her chosen path. She leaned her head wearin on her hand, and scarcely heard the low tones of Mrs. Percival, as she talked of to- morrow’s guests, and the kindness of Alice Cummins in con‘enting to remain ioymen t. sounded with more mcrrimcnt.

She nerer caught the import of the words, She was Startled from 1101‘ YCVEI'Y to ant circle, and the youngguestsdeparted for home. Annie had wished them a “ pleasant time,” and with a smiling face watched them until the last of the party had disâ€" appeared from view. In spite of disappointment in not being of party, she turned with a light heart 1: her duty, for she had seen the look keen regret pass over the handsome face of Mr. ScldOn when he found that Mrs. “ Miss Edwards, I fear we are taxing weary tu-night, and sad.” “Thank you; but nothing is the matter beyond a slight headache, which will be well toâ€"morrow.” And she turned her- head to hide the blinding tears. Percival’s illness prevented Annie from‘ “ You confine yourself too closely to H d1 1 , I the house.

I am sure Miss Edwards would prefer being alone ; so come, let us have some music.” And Alice Cummins, who had entered un- observed, playfully took lxis arm. “ Miss Cummins is right. I will notf detain you. &od evening.” And, with a white face and flashing eye, Miss Edwards swept past them into the hall, and out into the evening air. ' loved her even in her own heart, but it was unconsciously there, and made sun- shine in the darkened room where she spent her morning beside the bed of suffering. At last Mrs. Percival was soothed to sleep, and Annie noiselessly left the room. The warm, sultry day, and the close confinement in the sick room, made her cheeks burn and ,her head throb. Mechanically she took her way, to her favorite retreat, the library. She sat down in an easy chair and leaned her head wcarily on her hand, and her eyes filled with tears as she thought of the happy days just passed, and she tried to school herself to the settling down in the same old routine of duty; She wasstartled from her revcry by a firm clasping of her hand, and, as she looked up. her cheeks flushing, she en- countered the smiling face of Mr. Sel- don. In her embarrassment she stanr mercd some excuse, and rose to leave the room , but he gently led her back, and sat down beside her. “ Miss Annie, when I found you were not to be of the party, it lost all charm for me, so I rode Over tothc village,and returned to answer some letters. I have waited here in hopes of seeing you, and fate has at last been kind. Miss Ed- wards, you havc heard that Mrs. Perci- val is going to dispense with your sci-1 vices? In fact, Mr. Brotherton has already engaged another housekeeper. Do not look so startled, he has suc- ceeded, after three years wooing, in persuading Ida to preside as Mrs. Bro- therton. And there is another house, lonely and deserted, that is waiting for a housekecpcr~â€"a house that needs just the, touch of our fair per ec '. unic, itt e come and be its light?” CHAPTER II. “ Come, Ida, if you are through un- packing, let us go down stairs.” And Alice Cummins smoothed her curls, brushed up her frizzes, shook out the folds of her dress, and swept out into the hall, rudely brushing past Miss Edwards without the slightest recog- nition._ “ Alice, who was the yOung lady that just passed on'the stairs l" v “' I did not see any keeper.” one but the house- “ How very graceful and refined she looks 3 Mrs. Percival has given me such glowing accounts of her thatI must cultivate hcr acquaintance.” “ Oh, bush 1 Youand Ella are always discovering shining virtues that no one else can see.

She was a noble woman you there will be much to require your care and attention.” “I said, in answer to your letter, (which was perfectly undeistwd), that I would endeavor to be willing and faithful, and I trust my years may prove no disparagemejnt.” Much as Mrs. Percivil would have liked to know the reason that one so evidently adapted to grace a higher poâ€" sition accepted the present- situation, ‘there was something so dignified and, reserved in Miss Edwards’ bearing to encourage curiosity: 9+ is a .v .r it it Several months have elapSed since the introduction of our heroine to Oak Lawn. It is needless to follow :her through her daily round of duty, in the accomplishment of which her thorough care and lady-like deportment, gained herrthe respect and confidence of M 1‘. and Mrs. Percival, While her gentle . ways and loving words endeared her to the children. The most menial services were rendered pleasant by her natural grace of manner, and her kindly con- sideration of the servants under her charge endeared her to them that her slightest wishes became law, and order outruled the previous chaos existing in the culinary department. l Nothing occurred to mar this har- mony until the arrival of Miss Cummins » .ayoung lady friend of the family. ’ Alice Cummins was one of those “gushing” girls who’ so well cover sar- casm and unkind actions in such an ap- parently artless manner, that, to the careless observer it seems mere thought- lessness,while to the ear intended for it, it becomes cutting stinging shafts. The youth and beauty of Annie Edâ€" wards, the high esteem with which she was regarded in Mrs. Percival’s house- hold, togetherwith a jealous magnifying of the kindly consideration of Mr. Broâ€" therton into something deeper, rankled deeply and bitterly in Miss Cummins’ mind , and no stone was left unturned which could wound Miss Edwards’ naturally retired and sensitive nature. Never had Annie felt so keenly the position she occupied until the arrival of the proud, imperious visitor. She would not have regretted the “good times” of fun and amusement among the young folks, in which her only share was work and preparation, if the orders, as issued by Miss Cummins, had been diâ€" vested of their undercurrent of bitter- ness. Her own proud nature rebelled against the insolent manner of that young lady, and her utter disregard of wounded feelings. ' Mr. Brotherton had invited,and Mrs. Percival had urged her to share in their pleasure excursions; but her seeming indifference, and household excuses, had so annoyed the gentleman that he ceased to say any more on the subject. But who could know the bitter tears shed and her inward shrinking from the duties before her, while, with outward composure, she entered with seeming interest into their. plans,’ ,Oversce'ing the house, the children ‘ ‘uiidl servants, ot who could think and act for herself, involuntarily commanding respect 5 yet, withal, she was so purely womanly, that you could forgive her, and love her, in spite of all waywardness and eccenâ€" tricity, if her independence might be so called. ' 4 With a queenly air, she .de’scended the broad stairway and joined the group on the veranda, when she was sur- rounded by an admiring circle of friends. “Miss Seldom, Aunt Lottie will be glad to hear of your arrival ; it is quite an unexpected pleasure. In her name I will extend an invitation to you and Mr. Seldon to attend a musical party at her house tomorrow evening. She would have driven over herself, only He had to bend to hear the faltering answer, and that it was a. satisfactory one you may judge by his radiant face as he clasped her to his bosom, and pressed her soft lips to his. ’ And Ida, noble Ida, said that one of her dearest dreams was realized the day she called the gentle Annie her sister. The Blue Laws. Many who have often heard of the Connecticut “blue laws" have probably never had an opportunity of perusing that clcbrated code. The territory now comprised in the State of Conâ€" necticut was formerly two colonies, she has been suffering from headache Connecticut and New Haven. The all day; so Hail and your humble serv- colony of Connecticut was planted by ant are here as her representatives. But emigrants from Massachusetts and where is Miss Edwards? I am charged with a special message for her. She is [quite a. favorite of Aunt Lottic’s, who considers her the only sensible young lady in the neighborhood. Here she comes, so I will go and deliver my errand.” . But, before going, Ida had left her seat, Miss Seldon was down the graveled walk, and before Annie fairly recog- nized her friend, she was clasped in loving arms, and warm kisses were rained on her face and neck, and gentle words of welcome whispered in her ear. Before her friends had recovered from their surprise in witnessing so much demonstration in the usually so digni- fied Miss Seldon, she had drawii Annie’s arm through hers, and ascended to the veranda. “Ah, Ella, little did I expect to find in your household fairy a very dear friend. “Brother Tom,” she added, turning to that gentleman, “this is Annie Edwards, of whom you have heard so much.” Never did Miss Edwards look love- licr than when, with glowing checks and dcwy eyes, she responded to his kindly greeting. ‘he took the proffered, seat, and he sat down beside her, and entered into pleasant conversation. So graceful was her manner, so gentle her smile, that, before the evening ended, Tom Seldon, who, through the glowing descriptions of his sister had already worshipped Miss Edwards in the distance, had re- solved, in his Own mind, to win this precious jewel, and make her as happy as wealth, social position and a loving heart could do. Windsor, in 1633, and Hartford and VVeathersfield 1635-6. The other colony, styled by its founders the Dominion of New Haven, was founded by emigrants from England in 1638. The two coloâ€" nies were united in 1665. The statutes copied below, from an ancient volume relating to the history of the American Colonies, were enacted by the “ Domin- ion of New Haven,” and being printed on blue paper came to be known as th “ blue laws.” ‘ T he Governor and Magistrates con- vened in General Assembly, are the su- preme power, under God, of this indc pendent Dominion.

As for Annie, it was with a brighter heart, and almost the gayety of by-gone days, that‘ she separated from her friends for the night. She unloosed the heavy braids of her hair, and sat down beside the open window. Thoughts, sometimes bitter and sometimes pleas- ant, chased each other through her revery. And it seemed that even for her the cup of happiness was not yet drained. No priest shall abide in the Domin- ion; he shall be banished, and suffer death on his return.

All the signs of the times indicate the 'coming Of a new order of things, The rapidity with which faithless public men, largely trusted by the people, are being brought to judgment, and their guilt made clear as noonday, is some- thing marvellous. Rings and combi- nations, organized for no other end than to aggregate power for the more certain work of plunder, are broken up at a single ponderous stroke of some cour- ageous citizen who drags their iniquity to light. Buried wrongs are dug up, and their hideous caresses shown to the aroused and indignant people. Men long trusted, and regardedby the na- tion as representatives of the highest integrity. are found to be weakly venal, or deliberately corrupt. Everywhere good and true men are feeling a sense of relief. They see the dawning of a better day; the advent of a new era, when public virtue shall be something more than a name. ' Such an era. is surely advancing upon us. Evil and corruption are not stronger than goodness and virtue, but' essentially weaker. Steadil y the peo- ple are rising to a higher sense of right. The coming generation will take their places, as the receding ones retire ,' and the shame and disgrace 'of those trusted public men who have been weighed in the balance and found wanting, will stand out as a warning to all in whom the people confide. And the people themselves will be more .careful in their selection of those to whom great interests are'intrusted. all of whom have a prico-â€"--will be set aside, and their places be given tO‘inen' .of known integrity.

At the Earl of Dudâ€" ley’s ironworks in Staffordshire a fur- nace has now begun to be used, by which a saving of fuel to the extent of 10 cwt. to 13 ewt. upon every ton of iron produced is effected.
