Tho orphan girl of a former servant ina wealthy faully, Mattie had shared the lessons and the way of tho younger daughter of the house, until a me came when it was con- senlent. to turn the humble companion adrift to work for lierself, It may have been a piece of Hl-uck hts neighbors aserlbed to Drow, that It should haye been to his farm the girl cane as help to hts sister, or ft may have been a piece of his good natura that made hin ugree to. take mnder his root thls pretty lass, wntratned for service and eduvated far above her station. Drew's widowed sister, Mrs, Bankes, who lived with him, and whose child it. was Mut tle had come to nurse, amongst other duties too numerous to mention, for here was but one servant kept—Drow's sister exelaliped fu despair when the farmer brought home the young lndy-like, dellcate-looking girl: “Woe wind a strong, hard-working lasst This one doesn’t know her right hand from herleft. She is as good ns a lady, or as bad, and has never milked a cow In her lfel What you thinking of to bring her hero?” “ANT that's Just my luck; well, we must do the best we can with her, Lf the steward had never mentioned her to mo now—but then he did mention her, and here she Is.” 'Thore she was, and there shu stayed, apt tolearn, willlng to be taught, grateful for the real kindness she mot with, Mattle was soon the best tind at mliklng for miles around, and soon deveted to the buby, ‘Three years passed quietly, and then came tha romance of Mutre’s life.
