Poor thing she came home so late last night from the party, that I told her to sleep as long as she could this morning; I really wonder if the dear girl ever gets well rested, I'll go and see ifshe wants her toast and cc ffee in her room.”’ With these remarks the doating mother as- cends the staircase on her errand of inquiry In the meanwhile Kitty makes loud and impatient music with her pots and kettles, and thus soliloquizes : ‘“ Yes—baking to do, dinner to get, the front toclean; it’s all mighty eusy talking. Then when my find lady gets up she sgot to be waited on; very likely she'll send me on some errand to the milliner’s, and when I come back she’ll want a dress pressed in a minute to walk outin. ‘ Yes, Kitty can do it—it’s nothin; for Kitty;” but I guess if she had Kitty’s weak back and tired feet, she'd lay abed a week and send for the doctor—” “«Kitty,’’ screamed her mistress, at the top of her voice, from the head of the stairs. “Mam!” “ Are there any eggs in the house ?"’ “Nomam. There it goes again; now I just moeier eae they want with eggs this time o’day. *, Biep out, somewhere, Kitty, and buy afew, Araminta thinks she could eat one on her toast.”’ ~ Yes, mam; but how can I leave the bread that’s just ready to bake ?” “Oh! be right quick, Kitty, and the bread won't suffer ”’ Away went the distracted housemaid for the eggs, and on returning she covked and took it up tothe young lady’s room, where she had the satisfaction of hearing from that individual that it wasn’t half done, and more than that, she had waited so long that her appetite was all gone, and she could not bear the sight of it Well, atter much labor, the work was pretty well through with, and dinner served at the usual hour. Araminta managed, with the help of her mother, to drose herself, and thereby was enabled to make her appearance in the dining-room, with her heavy blue eyes and dress to match, about the time of her father's entrance. Her appetite being unusually good, she contrived to smell a bit of roast beef, and succeeded in eating three Lima beans, after gracefully taking the skin off each une. ‘ Pa,’ said she, very languidly, ‘I heard some one of the party last night speaking of a delightful ghost story—Hamlet, I believe, is the name of the man that saw the spectre and Ido wish you would get it forme. If it is in two volumes you needn't mind it though, as I should never get time to read it. Who knows but what it is as interesting as Dombey?”” “It would not be to you,” replied her fath- er, very gravely “Then don't trouble yourself about it, Pa. You know my taste, and can easily judge; but I do wish another number of Domhey would corme—I'm #0 anxious to kuow if sweet Florence has heard from her beau, Walter Gray, and if he ever intends to come back again. Where was it he went, pa?—to Mexico ?”” “ Mexico, fiddlesticks, child; no, he went to the Inlies, and { kvow where | had a notion to send you.” “Oh, where pa? er fot traveling.”’ ‘*Toschool,’’ replied her impatient father, “for you mortify me to death with your stu- pidity. However, your mother tells me to- morrow will be your eighteenth birthday, and I suppose you will expeot a handsome present Now, as you have an idea of getting married before a great while, ‘tis quite time you should understand the practical part of housekeeping, and my gift to you shall be either a good sized broom or a ecrubbing brush, which I shall ineist on your using ”” But Araminta had fainted before the con- clusion of his remarks. “Only see what you have done!” exclaimed his wife, asshe ran in haste to the daughter's assistance. ‘* Don’t disturb yourself,’’ said her husband, ‘she has only fainted, and I'll warrant she comes too in time for this evening’s concert. If she would take more healthful exercise she would hardly stop the circulation at soshort a notice.’’ And with this consoling speech, Mr. Makedoo went to his counting-room. Kitty was called again to bring the cologne bottle and fan from Araminta’s room, besides other jobs, wich left little time for the kiteh- en department; but hy dint of hard labor and perseverance, she found time to take the child- ren a walking, and thon hurried home to get This is delightful weath- er. Ni the tea-table, Mr. Makedoo said the bread was sour. The blame as usual rested on Kit- ty who was immediately summoned to account forit. When she made her appearance, she gave a piteous detail ofthe morning, how she had todo many errands after the bread was already for baking, and that she could not help it. Her mistress said that was no excuse what- ever, asshe might have hurried more than she did, and then the bread would have been sweet and * Mr. Makedoo looked frowningly at his wife and daughter. “Susan,’’ said he to the former, “if Ara- minta had at least been taught to wait on herself a little, and give some slight assist- ance in the house, Kitty would not thus be imposed on. As it is, you have absolutely ruined yourchild. Yet, if you would dress her less foolishly and expensively you would then find yourself able to keep more help on your own account” ¥ His wife put her laced pocket-handkerchief to her eyes, and his daughter was looking for a convenient place to swoon; and for fear of another scene, the unhappy husband and father left the department. i Mrs. Makedoo went below to give that lazy Kitty, as she termed her, a complete blowing up. Pere seems to me, Kitty, you complain a great deal about nothing. Pray, where did you live oe you one Laiaes : - . The poor girl, being fairly rous replie that she lived with Sars, Harris, Hs gues something like a lady, and never expected too much from her. “T used to know her very well—say, why did you leave her?” #8 her oldest daughter had left school and she said she wished her to learn to work, but while there was so much help in the the otter gir had ‘boon hers, longer thas i other gi re ir had, she sent me away with kind words and useful presents. “that Mrs. oo s thing as to oblige her daughter to do house- Se ree ———— Ee THE WEEELY s8TAR. ~ Whis excellent Family and News Journal—cen- saining & greater varicty of Interesting reading than an be found in any other—is pubiishod on Satur- day morniag. .

Harris now entered the lor, and am » after excusing herself, returned io her “How do you do, my dear Susan?” said Mrs. Harris cordially, shaking her band to her weleome guest. “I'm very well, I thank you, Mary.” “And how is Araminta and the ren?” “Ob, dear, thé children are weil, but trou- blesome as usual, though I don’t knew much about them. Araminta is often dull, and has no appetite at all. Poor thing, as “ Mrs Chick” said of old “Dombey’s’ first wife, I fear she will never be able to make an effort.’ Tis hardly worth while to ask after Lucy, she looks so very rosy, almost too much to suit my taste ; by the way, I heard from my Kitty that you had put her to work, and one reason for my calling was to know the truth of it—have you really done such anout-of-the- way thing?” _ ‘I am very happy to answer in the affirma- tive, Susan; when she left school her occu pa- tion, seemed gone; she became listless and languid, her appetite left her, in our anxiety we consulted @ physician in regard to her health. He told us the best thing for her was daily and regular exercise. though moderate- ly at first until her strength could bear more. So, after Mr. Harris and myself had talked the matter over, I diemissed one of the girls and went hand in hand for a while with ucy to encourage her. She now makes all the beds in the house before breakfast, sweeps the chambers occasionally, always belpe iron the clothes, and frequently assists in cooking— you must drink tea with us soon and taste some of her bread, it is so delicious " ‘But don’t she dress herself in her best, and‘vadk out everyday ?—my Araminta sould not exist without that.’’ “She is always neat in her dress, but sel- dom walks out merely for promenade. She is interested in every household department, and has sufficient exercise in-doors for her health. Her appetite and spirits are both good, and we are glad that we had the frm- ness to make her useful and thereby happy ; her needle, too, is not idle, as I am frequently »bliged to her for assistance with the chil- dren's garments.’’ “What wild Araminta think of all this?” said Mre. Makedoo “ Why, Mary, we only keep one girl, though I often think there's enough work in the house for two, but it never entered into my head to call on my own daughter for help. Dear me, she is the one we waited on the family.’’ “I hope you will be encouraged, Susan, to doasl ‘as done, and bestow a little of the care on her that your mother bestowed on you; for, fashionable as you have become, you cannot disguise the truth that you were taught to wotk aswell as me. Do you re- member, when we lived neighbors in tho country, the vpn é useful lessons our mother gave us; and en our present husbands courted our favor, do you suppose they (hought the less of us for being 1odustrious ?”’ «Tt is different in a city, Mary.”’ “ The difference, Susan, is only in our mind, and arises from faise pride. i have chosen to stick to first principles, belicving it will save my child much unhappiness in the fu- ture. The fate of nations depends, in a great measure, on a mother's training, and parents cannot be too much alive to their great res ponsibilities. I beg you will consider this subject, and pray for right wisdom to direct ou.?? Mrs. Makedoo bad listened in silence. Then her thoughts went back to her cnildhood’s home, beautiful and refreshing to her memory as to herself, when her innocent thoughts aud childish sports had made an Eden of that so cluded spot. When the gay song of the early birds awakened her from health-breathing slumbers, and she arose with the dawn, light hearted and happy, to perform her daily duties, trifling as they were, perhaps in reality, but rendered important, and regularly ex- acted by a mother, anxious for her daughter's welfare, and ever watchful to direct her youthful footsteps in the way that brings peace and ae pe Alas! alas! where stood she aow? It seemed as though all those early lessons and sweet counsels had been buried in the grave of her d mother. The rank weeds had come up and smothered the young buds of promise. ‘‘ How,” thought she, “ have I fulfilled the trust toward the im- mortal soulcommitted to my care? The ways of high life in a fashion-bound city have blinded my judgment and better knowledge ; my child has grown up beneath my eye igno- rant of all that truly ennobles our natures— vanity and love of dress the only end of her existence.”’ “«*Tis too late now, Mary,”’ said Mre. Make- doo, asshe rose in baste to take her depar- ture; ‘ ’tis too late to undo the deep injury [have done my daughter. Ifshe lives, she will have plenty of trouble, like the rest of us, andin = hours of trial, her hueband will, perhaps, and justly, too, blame her mother for not teaching her better how to meet and bow to bearit. I will go home and talk to fay husband; I know his heart will gladden atthe prospect of a reform in this matter ; he will encourage me to do what is yet in my wer for Araminta—and I promise you, my eS Mary, to try and take the rest of my children in good season for their improve- ment.”’ Mothers who read this, go ye and do like- wise. Stream Fire Enoine.—The corporation of St. Louis, Mo., are about to introduce the steam fire engine into their fire department. The Republican, alluding toa recent trial of the machine city, says: “lt has been said of it, that it ‘don’t drink whisky or throw brickbats.’ The first part of this proposition we willingly accord, for an ‘ institution’ that takes in as much water has no room for any- thing else; but as to the truth of the latter part we enter our protest. On yi 4 while it was working, a large stream was di- rected towards the chimney of a house on Market street, between Fifth and Sixth, and the way the bricks flew, or were thrown, was surprising to every body who witnessed it. The stack was demolished, and left not a sin- gle brick behind ”’ Creosorg ror Wants.—Dr. Raingy, of St. Thomas’s Hospital, London, has written an article to the Lancet, detailing the effects of creosote applied to warts. He applied it freely to an obstinate warty excrescence on the fin- ger, then covered it over with a piece of stick- ing plaster. This course he pursued every three days for two weeks, when the wart was found to have disappeared, leaving the part beneath it quite healthy. This is certainly a remedy which can be easily applied by any person. ig The Charleston Evening News under- stands that the —— which was lost over- board from a vessel bound to that port made its way safely into Mount Pleasant barbor !
