An old. bachelor ?\ said Honora May- wood,. That's what he told me, just in so many words,]? said Mrs. Pennypacker, who s'ood on the threshold of her best room, with her head tied up in a pocket- handkerchief, and a hair broom in her hand, wherewith she gesticulated, after a tragic fashion, as she talked, while Miss May wood, tall and slender as a wild lily, stood in the hall, with a roll of music un- der her arm, and her slight figure wrap- ped in a shabby black shawl. \\And he's willing to pay my price, cash down, every Saturday night. Neverattempted to beat me down a penny, if you'll be- lieve it my dear.\ ** Why should he?\ said Honora. C ** Most people do, my dear,\ said Mrs. Pennypacker. \ A wrinkled old widow woman like me, who has her living to earn, is mostly fair game for everybody. But he never objected to my terms. A real gentleman, my dear-every inch of him. But he's a little particular, I'm afraid.\ «'I suppose most old bachelors are,\ said Miss Maywood, smiling. ©\ Yes, my dear-yes !\ nodded Mrs. Pennypacker. \ But this gentleman is beyond the average, I think.\ \* And if he is ?\ '* Nothing,\ says Mrs. Pennypacker, making a dab with her broom-handle at a stray moth-muller which was fluttering blindly against the garnet damask wind- ow curtains-'* nothing except that one don't quite know where to have him.- He drinks only English breakfast tea, and he wants his pie-crust made with the best Alderney butter, instead of lard, as is good enough for other people ; and he must have ventilators to all the windows, and an open grate, instead of the base- burning stove ; and-I hope you will not be offended, my dear-but he particular- ly dislikes a piano.\ ** Dislikes a piano ?\ said the little mu- sic teacher, reddening, in spite of herself. \ And he says, says he, 'I hope, Mrs. Pennypacke, that there's no piano in the house. A piano,' says he, * plays the deuce with my nervous system, with its everlasting tum, tum I Those were his very words, my dear. So I courtesys, and says I, ' You'll not be troubled with one here, sir' And so, my dear, I'll be grateful if you won't mind doing your practicin' until he's out for his daily walk ; from one to three, just as regular as a clock.\ Miss Maywood looked piteously up in the old lady's face. \I will do anything to oblige you, Mrs. Pennypacker.\ she said, earnestly. I haven't forgotten how much I am in- debted to you, both in actnal money, and in kindness, which money can never re pay.” And her soft blue eyes filled wigh tears as she spoke. \*My dear, don't say a word,\ said Mrs, Pennypacker, hastily, \ You've been sick, and you've pot a little belkind- hand, and it's quite natural you should be a little low-spirited now and then- But you musn't get discouraged. Things will look up, after awhile. And you're quite welcome to stay on here, until you ara able to settle up your little account. Honora Maywood sighed, as she re- D. T.

And, as the time crept on, and no pu- pils came, Honora began seriously to ask herself whether she should go out in some meniel capacity, or stay genteely at home and starve. \* Clothes, ma'am !\ Honora started from her rewery, as the herself, like a human battering ram, up against the door, with a preposterously large basket on her arm. \ Yes,\ said Honora, coloring. \ Put them down, Sally. But I-I'm afraid it isn't convenient to pay your mother to day.\ + ** Mother didn't say nothing about the pay,\ said Sally. wiping her forehead with a whisl# of her arm, and sniffing herself well nigh off her fect. *I was to leave the clothes, with her'umble duty, and she 'oped they'd suit; but it was that damp and muggy on Monday and Tues day, as starch wouldn't stick. And she 'opes you'll excuse all mistakes, as they shall be done better next time.\ \I dare say they are quite right,\ said Honora, with a little sigh, as she marvel- ed at this unexpected access of courtesy on the part of her Milesian laundress. But when Sally had stuniped off down stairs, her flapping slippers heating a sort of tattoo as she went, and Miss Maywood took off the fringed towel that covered the basket, she gave a little start. \ Shirts,\ said Honora, \and socks, and turri-over collars, No. 16, and great big pocket handkerchiefs, like the sails of a ship, and white vests, and-good- ness ine! what does it all mean? Mrs. Mulvey has sent me some gentleman's wardrobe by mistake. I must send these back at once.\ But then Miss Maywood looked down at the articles in grave consideration. \I never had a brother,\ mused Miss Maywood; ''and I can't remember my father; but of this I am quite certain- if I had either one or the other, I should thank any girl to mend their dilapidated wardrobes,. if they looked like this Aud Mrs. Mulvey can't send before night, and unfortunately I've nothing to do, so I,!I just mand this poor young fellow's clothes, who ever he may he.

At all events, he's worse off than I am for he can't mend his own clothes, and I can.\ And the siniles dimpled around Hono- ra Maywood's little rosebud mouth, as she sat down to darn holes, sew on tapes: and insert patches. \He'll never know who did it,\ said Honora to herself; \but I dare say, he'll be thankful; and if one can get a charice to do a little good in this world, one ought not to grudge one's time and trou- ble.\ And as Honora stitched away, she mused sadly whether or not she ought to accept a position which had offered it- self of assistant matron in an orphan asy- lum, where the work would be almost unendurable, and the next to nothing. with no Sundays nor holidays. and a ladies' committee, consisting of three starched old maids, to \sit\ upon her. the first Friday of every month, \I almost think I'd rather starve.\ said Honora. \But dear mel starving is a serious business, when one comes to consider it face to face.\ Sally Mulvey came back, puffing and blowing like a human whale, in about two hours. \Mother says she's sent the wrong bas- ket,\ said she, breathlessly. ~ \I thought it very probable, Sally,\ said Miss Maywood. \And mother's compliments,\ added nothing been paid on your account since'test. - And he says he loves me; and last June.\ and- Honora felt herself turning scarlet. **Well?\ \I am very sorry, said she. | \Tell! \I almost thinkI love him' whispered your mother I will settle my bill as soon | Miss May wood. as I possibly can.\ And so, the problem of Honora's soli- Sally flounced out of the room, red tary life was solved. all through the and indignant, like an overcharged thun- | magic influence of Needue aiid thread.' der-cloud; and poor little Honora, drop- | ste ~> ping her head on her hands, burst into A Milwaukee Romance. tears.
