Caarrer |. “You CAN’Y CATCH OLD BIRDS WITH cAaAFF.”’ There’s Stebbins's house been shut up three days, not a sign of life about it. I wonder where he’s sent the chiidren to” I suppose their grandmother’s. Poor little things! it's cruel to think of their being orphans, and no telling what kind of a stepmother they'll get to knock ‘em and beat ’em around, and eebinch em in clothes and vittals. However, may be their prospects is not so bad as they might be; perheps they're soon agoing to have somebody to after ‘em who never had the name of the advantage of anybody, let alone ssoneieres Do you know why Stebbins had his painted straw color, instid of white, and that sweet litue porteullis pnt over the front door? If you don’t, somebody does. It was only the day before he had the men to work, he says to me: *-Alvira’’—Stebbins has called me by my name ever since his wife died—“‘suppose you was going to have a house painted, what color would you prefer?” “La, now,” said I, “‘ people’s tastes differs; and serce the house isn’t mine, and nobody has ever said it was going to be mine, what do you eare what color i like best?’” ‘* Well,” said he, “I knew you was considered the tastiest person in the village, used to all sortsef pretty colors in ribbons and trimmin’s, and, sefdon’ purfeas to have much knowledge of such things myself, I thought I'd ask you."’ Wasn’t that adelicate way, now, of managing the matter, and letting the persons most interested know that he'd like her opinion? [ declare, my re- spect for Stebbins riz considerably! though I'd always thought well of him asa good man to his family, ard idy, industrious person, not bad looking, either, though rather old for agirlin her twenties. Let's see, he must be full forty year old; that would be fourteen years difference. So then I told bim I was sick of those everlasting white houses, and that I thought peach-bloom or straw color would lookly sweetly, and he thanked me, and asked me if [ could suggest any other improvement, and I fairly blushed at having him patting such questions to me, and I said: 'b, Mr. Stebbins, if you'd really like my ideas on the subject. I think a handsome port- cullis over the front door would make your house almost equal to Squire Higgins’s.” “The very thing '’’ said he; “and if it don’t cost too much, I shall have one right away.”” What's that to you say, Clara Brown’ ‘Stebbins is apt to look at the cost of a thing before be gets it.’’ Supposing he is, then; so is any prudent man; they’d be a fool not to. I guess there's as have to work in thia shop for seventy- cents a week and their board, would be clad of a chance to help spend what he’s been so prudential as to lay up. Mind that sher you're running. You're get- ting it as crooked as one of Tim Button’s sto- ries, and that buanit is for Mrs. Martingall, the particularest of ail my customers. What has Stebbins gone out of town for? I havn't insinuated that [ knew, havel? He may be gone to Boston to get a new set of hair- bottom chairs and a carpet for the front room before a certain ceremony comes off; but that s not saying that he Aas, not that I know any thing about his business. I may be going to make a wedding-bunnit for somebody not far away from this chair, out of this piece of white satin; but that’s not saying that Iam going to. Look here, Dora Adams, if you don’t quit that everlasting giggling and snorting outaiaughing you'll quit my shop. How much work do you suppose you get done in a day, between look- ing at them red danglers that you set up half the night to put in papers, and snickering at gooduess knows what every five minutes “Your hair isn’t red; its orborn, and curls naturally ?"’ humph! perhaps you'll yet some = young man to believe that, but not imme- jetly. Just seq that little stuck up Laura Griggs trotting along to school in her all-wool delaine dress, plenty good enough for Sundays. Her mother just dues it to spite better pes; le; but it what report says is true. she'll soon be in the fix of aman who bit off his nose to spite his face. It’s no matter what I mean. I’m never the first tospread bad news: and I don’tintend to be now. People that live beyond their means must expect to be brought up witha short tura sometime. When folks gets to send- ing to Boston and Lowell fur their buanits be- cause there’s nothing in their own village good enough for ‘em, its time—— Wonder whose dog that can be? here and look, beture he gets past the corn rT; that one with the erimpy tail, Black and whi Did either of you ever see it before?“ No Well, neither did I; and now somebody's got company, or somebody's been buying him. fis carious bis master wasn’t with bin, being a strange dog. so he'd be apt to have somebody with him to keep watch of him. He couldn't bea stray dog; he run along too contented for that. He's « beautiful feliow; such long, silky bsir; such intelligent eyes, and such a curly— Gracious’ here he comes, not the dog, but bis master! Yes, that must be him; for he’s a stranger; aud now hers a whistling tohim; and he’s got on one of them new fangled overcoats, is so stylish! Dear me! I wish I knew where he was visiting, and what brought him to Pennyville, and how long he was going to stay. Goodness! he looked right straight in the window; and he must have seen something te admire; fer he kept on looking full a min- ute. Girls, what are you peaking over my shoulder for?

IfSabina Higgins caugat that fish when she was away to her uncle's. she did more than,I gave her credit for. Hand me that Leghorn flat. It’s to becalled for at sundown, and I’ve not made the first bow yet, nor putin the lining. If there wasn’t so much gab going on in the shop, there’d be more work. I dont eee what they wanted so particularly to-night for. There’s no pic-nic nor nothing going off that I've heard of, and it’s three days to sun- day. Maybe Celestia's going to town with her father when he takes his grain to market. It's always hurry! burry! burry! Everybody hur- ries the milliner, just for the fun of it, L be- lieve. There's one thing, Alvira Slimmens don't intend to be their slave much longer. Bhe sighs for the repose of a straw-colored house, with a white portcullis to shade it like the satin cape of a Leghorn bunnit. What's that” “getting poetical”? Suppose I am? Young people mostly are occasionally; and I don’t vee what's to prevent. There are bat few in the interesting situation of an engage- ment but feels inclined, at times to express their feelings in verse. There was some tines by somebody to somebody in the Jast number ot the Pennyville Eagle, signed J. S ;” and if “J. 8.” don’t stand for Joshua Stebbins, what dves it stand for? I’ve answered them already, snd shall! send the verses over to the rinter’s to-night; but I wouldn’t have any- ody kuow that I wasan authoress. I wouldn't read them to anybody if I was asked; but Jil Tevite the last verse, because I knuw you'd like to hear it “* Long as theres water in the sea, Or plane s in the pravens, My beart shall only beat for thee, y voice shali murmur ### #44." _ 1 ve left the last word stars, so that the pub- lie might not perceive too much of what is too sacred to betray.
