A t first that seemed enough. i'vijySho was happy wandering about the iv^*u n n y slopes o f th e / a r m or making im - 1 im p r o v e m e n ts in tho house and garden. 1 r -*5he was abim dantly happy in the pcaec 1 md plenty o f her hom e—a peace a » d ' »lenty sho had n e v e r known before. Iho was more than lm p p y, this generous Iiild, in givin g to h e r heart’s content, | luppjying her parcnta w itli all the laxu - -1 “ os tho fann produced— fresh butter, iw-laid egg-i, fru it, flowers, vegetables, nUtry She had n o ticed that her hus- ind gave her less o f his time tlion I 10 ight have given h e r ; that ho caressed “ ow e l«M ly, m i n m ig k t a p * t animal; : o t'liis young m fo, aim to r o u s o w m w l f 1 to its cousequoiices. Ilia sisters had 1 'moro than onco spoken to liiin on tho , subject, and I 10 had silencod them by I aaying,\ “ I f » no fault o f hers, and I don't jvaut to troublo h e r .\ G eorge Goodwin soon began to open hia oyes to tho cost, .bu t still ho did not interfere. H e was afraid o f h u r tin g be cause ho did not lo v i; and, besides, ho | had promised La v in ia indulgence, aud , J indulgent ho would bo if it ruin e d him. 1 I t was not unlikely to do tins. I A crisis had nrrived w itli tho arrival of tho Bccoud baby. G e o rge G o o d w in'had invited his sisters to tho liouso, and Mr. mid Min, Jones had iu v itod theiusolve.i.- Tho housn was full, mid tho sisters stood aghast at tho cxponilituro w h ich Lavinia directed through her m other. I t was nothing but «pond, spend, spond, from m orning till night, nobody know how much, for it was not roady m o n ey. In kitchen extnivngaueo had m e r g e d into waste— waste, under Mrs. Jones’s ex ample, into dishonesty, w h ich George Goodwill doteslud and abhorred more than moat men, at least m o ro vigor ously. Meantime, in tho dining-room , luto which tho w intry suu was streaming, Georgo Goodwill, had dashed d o v « i ‘4ko blinds and Hung him self in to tlio arm chair, to think, aud from thinkin g ho felt that it was timo to act. H o began to act. H o miulo his way to tho dairy. A m aid was th e r e arrang ing the pans for tho com ing in o f tho mid-day m ilking. In a q u iet corner stood 11 small hiimjjcr. I t caught his eye. “ W hat is that?” ho asked, sternly. “ I don’t know, sir; it was M r s ; Ooucs as did it up.” “ O h ! ” H e turned it upside down. A roll of butter, a fow l, smno eggs and a liottlo — tlio latter m in g ling tlioir contents— dash ed down 011 tljo stones, tho p o r t wino runuiug in a littlo stream alon g tho floor. “ Don’t let mo lind any m o ro o f this. I shall hold you responsible fo r all that comes 111 and goes out here,” ho said to tho girl, as I 10 turned away in a ton times bitterer m ood than before. 'The things wero liis own, but ho fe lt as i f ho had com m itted a meanness in m e d d lin g with them. H o strode o f f to lind M r . Peck, tho gardener, cow-kccpcr, pig-keepcr, of tho farm, to put matters into liis hands. M r. I ’ eck, with a very w liito frock and a very red face, was com ing ou t o f tho cow-shod with a couple o f froth in g pails of m ilk. H o did not notice tho farmer, fo r there at his feet was tho farmer’s littlo daughter, her careless nurse-inaid leaning on tho fenco talking to 0110 of tlio men. “ M itty Pet, 1110 want to seo co moo cows,” said the child, running past him into tho shed, tho lloor o f w h ich was 1 'iuito clean and nice. .Hut M a g g ie, per fectly delighted w ith tlio w h isking of tho tails, made a dash forw a rd to seize one, and was splashed from head to fo o t over her plum -colored velvet dress and wliito hat and feather. “ Dear, d e a r !” cried M r . P e c k , setting down' his pails and liftin g her up— “ dear, dear! here you ’ve been andspoil- yonr line dress!” “ A great deal too fine,” said th e father, coming forward. “ Tako her into the cottngo, Peck,” — it stood n o t a stoue’s- tlirow from the shed— “ aud seo if your w ife can’t dress tlio child up in some thing -that won’t spoil so easily ” Ho took no notice o f tho niu'se-niind, who follow e d M r. Peck to claim her charge. T lio nurse took tlio cliild to her mis tress. M a g g ie was in a rod cotton frock and a brown pinafore, and lind, more over, been eating bread and treacle. She had certainly a rather moro. plebiau air than usual. “ I ean’t liolp her being such a frigh t,” cried tho maid , “ M iss M a g g ie would run iuto tho shed and get liersolf dirty, and tlio master said she. was n deal too line, and ordered M r . 1?cck to put them nasty, ugly things 011 her. .Shall I take them off, mum 1 -- , “ N o ,” said Lavinia, firm ly; “ leave them fo r tho present. W h e r e in your master?” “ 1 heard liim say li<^ was g o in g over to tho Grange, and 1 , saw him ride away,’’ replied tlio girl. “ Tlie'G rango ” was tho manor-houso in w h ich lived tlio owner o f G e o rge’s land. , H o waa riding thither hs fast as his horso w o u ld carry him. And fo r what purpose ? F o r no less a purpose than tho g iv in g u p o f hia tenancy, i f his laudlord w o u ld toko tho leaso out .of his hands. You aro too hasty, Jlr.

I f you aro determ ined to go away, I w ill endeavor to m e e t you and g iv e you tolerably fail- term s; but, I do not want to losy you. ” H e Svas- o b liged to b o 'c o n t e n t with this, and to return hom e; bu t ho was a rcsolnto man, Gieorgc G o o d w in, and nat likely to change his m ind w h e n ho lmd mado i t up.

Sho closed her eyes and clasped her thin whito hands, and pm y ed to bo rando ablo to bear her life fo r the sake o f 'h e r babes, aud the tears oozed out from under her closed eyelids and w e tted her_ pale cheeks. ' “ She’s fretting, I can rsee,” said tlio nurse to herself, “ and that’* w h y she doesn’t get' on, n o r the baby neither;” nnd she m entally bestowed a very nncomplimentary ep ith e t or. tho master o f the house, nnd resolved that i f possible she would plant a thorn or two in his pillow. She waylaid him, accordingly, on his return, and g a v e lum a rather exaggerated account « o f L a v in ia’s condition— an ac count- wluch vexed him exceedingly, and therefore made him m o r e angry than ever. “ F r e ttin g , is sho ?” ho said to liim n e ll. “ W hat m o re docs « h e wpnt 1 Is she not satisfied w ith m in in g mo ?” H e could be very perverse, this man, but lie could not bo c r u e l ; so he went up stairs at last and inquired v e r y kindly fo r L a v im a and her baby. H o did not thinlc sho was looking very i l l and miser able, b o v m r , . t e ik * had Saabad v brightly at liis coming, and rccoivcd him with a smile.

And what w ill become o f papa and mamma?” Slio said it all in a breath, rising up nnd sitting fu lly roused beforo him. - Tho last w o rds drovo him w ild. “ Sho doc3 not caro a straw fo r m o ,” ho thought, “ only thinks what w ill bccomc of them .” “ i shall leave yo u and them all that I h a v e ,” I 10 said, w ith passion, “ and go away and «Kirn m y bread as a aboror.” . “ Lea v o tho m oiioy to them , nnd tnko 1110 w ith you !’ ’ cried L a v in ia , looking quite radiant as the brilliant idea struek her. Sho had not understood liim any moro (than ho had understood her.

O f herself slio had not thought at all, except fo r 0110 bright moment, as hor husband’s companion, more to him than sho had e v e r been be fore, nnd ho to hor. H o had misunderstood h e r then. I t was im p ossible to misunderstand hor now. • l i e looked at hor sLrangely, “ You w o u ld miss all your lino tilings, Lavin ia,” ho said. “ Y o u would have to rough it as an im m igrant's w ife ” “ I don’t caro for ilno th in g s ,” sho said. “ I wa-s far happier when I had not any.” “ Th a t doesn’t say much fo r your hap piness w ith m e ,” ho said. Slio clasped her hands nnd spoko moro eagerly. “ Oh, you don’t kn o w all that I can do,” slio said., “ or all that I can boar,” and sho poured out to him the sad experiences o f her girlish days. H o listened w ith quivering lips to tho recital, and when sho told liim how sho had had to wear E m ily W a r d o u r ’s old pink dress to go to tho ball w ith him, ho burst into an odd excited laugh. “ B u t wo should have to leave the children behind us,” ho said next. H o waa only tryin g her now, bu t ho had the worst o f it. “ Should w o ? Oh, G e o r g e ,” sho said, and paused fo r a moment, paler and loss eager now. Then slio said, quietly, maltuig no question o f g o in g from him, “ Oonldn’t I take baby ? M a g g ie might stay w ith you r sisters. T h e y would bo good to her, but baby w o u ld want a nurse.” “ M y d a r lin g / ’ hocricd; nndwithsom c- tliing lik e a sol) I 10 Hung him s e lf at her feet. G eorgo G o o d win was not a man to do tlmigH uy halves. H o had repented o f his hasty m arriage— o f tho hasto of it, that is to say— anil ho began courting liis own m f o as but few maidens aro courted. H o retraced his steps com pletely. H o consulted L a v in ia about ovcrything, ways and means included, and was not above h e lpi.ig her, at her desire, ^to ^regulate th o . household ex penditure. I t is needless to say tlm t th e y did not find i t necessary to leave E n g land, nor yet to liv e in penury at hom e . Lavinia could still help her parents, and that 'm o re'effectually, by tlio aid o f hor hus band’s judgm ent. H e r sister and tho sickly ch ildren could still fin d needful change lit the farm, and L a v in ia herself, happy and healthful, looked prettier than over in her simplo h o u s e w ifely attire. This rom antic little wom an had turned iuto tho thriftiest o f w ives, at least Georgo G o o d w in thought no, nnd what was m oro, sho mado th r ift a pleasant, and not a lm rd, unloving thing. Thcro waa only one step which she took w ithout consulting her husband. Sho saw that his sisters m issed tlio oc cupation and various interests o f tho farm, and w ero pining in tlioir littlo town-liouse. Thero was p len t y o f room and plen ty o f work fo r thorn in their old hom e, so sho invited them back on the generous plea that things did not go so w e ll w ithout them. And slio found her rew a rd. Tlio sis ters coidd im a g ine nothing better than to dovoto them selves to G e o r g o and liis children, and G e o rge’s w ife camo in for her share. So at the head o f her increas ing household thero is not, at this m o ment, a h a p p ier littlo v.-oman in tlio county than tho pretty yo u n g miutress o f H o lb r o o k farm.
