Mrs. Clark came into the sitting room sud
'denly, and the girl lifted her head, and then
turned it away quickly, bul I'Ot until the f.rU
glance told the lady that the fair roso was
swollen undstiiined with tears.
.Janet Hill was a young seamstress whom
Mrs. Clark had occasionally employed for the
lu.-t six months. She 'was always attracted hy
her young bright face, her modest, yet digni
lied manner, and now the lady saw at once
that some "rent sorrow had smitten tlifl girl.
( looviug the prompting of a warm impul
sive heart, hho went to her and laid her hand
or. her arm, saving softly. "Won't you tell
ino what is troubling you .Janet?"
' Nothin ; that anybody can help," answered
the girl, trying still to avert her fac e, while
the tears swelled in her eyes from the i Hurt

there was evcrv pmspeet of his promotion;
hut he had seriously injured himself in the
summer hv lifting some bei.vv hales of goods,
and at ln-t a dangerous fever set in, which
kl finally 1 ft him in so exhausted a state
that the lloctor despaired of his recovery.
"And to think I shall never see him more.

The lady wont up staus and took the piece
out of her ivory port inounaie. There was a

I've set my heart on this velvet cloak," klm
thought, "and lMnrd will he disappointed.

Mr. Brown's -Mishaps.
Mr. ?'liphalet Urown wns a bachelor eif
thirtv five or theraoout, one of those men who
seem to be born to pass through the world
alone. Save this peculiarity, there was noth
ing to distinguish M r. itrown fr m thn nulti
tude of other Browns who are horn, grown up
and elie in this world of ours.
It chanced that Mr. Urowu had occasion
tc visit a town some fifty miles distant on
matter cf business. It was his first visit to
the place, anil he proposed stopping for a day,
in order to give himself an opportunity to
look about.
Walking leisurely along the street, he Was
fcll ftt once accosted hy a child of five, who
ran up to him exclaiming
' Father I want you to buy mo some more
candy."
"Father?" was it pnrVihle that lui a bache
lor, was addressed hy that title? Kn 'could
tiot believo it.
"Who were you (.peaking to my dear?'' ho
inquired of the little girl.
' I spoke to you futher," said the little one
surprised.
'Tleiilly," thought Mr Drown, 'tliia is em'
birrasssing."
"I am not your father my dear," he said,
"what is your name?'
The child Ian plied heartily, evidently think
ing it a good joke.
"What a funny father yon are," jdio said,
but you are going to buy me gome candy."
"Yes, yes, I'll buy yon a pound if you won't
call me father any more," said Mr. lirown
nervously.
' Clr' clapped her hands wiin ue-
light. The promise was nil she remembered
Mr lirowij proceeded to a confectionary
store, and actually bought a pmind of candy,
which he placed in the hands of the little
girl.
In coming out of the store they encounter-
1 cd the child's mothe r.
I "Oh, mother," said tho little glil "just
I si'e hoiv f-iieh candy father has bought for
1111'."
) "YeVu shouldn't have bought her so mii' h
! ret n time, Mr. Jones," said the lady, 1 I am
afraid she will make; hers'edl' nick. "B it how
' did von happen to get home so quick ? 1 did
not e xpect you till right."
I "Jones 1 madnine, ' said the eml.nrras
cd Mr. Itrown, "it's all a mistake; I ain't
Jones at all. It isn't my name. I nm Eli-
ph,lct Drown, of W , and ll.is ij tha
first time I eve.- came into this city."
! "flood heavens I Mr. Jones what has put
tills silly tale into your head? Voil have
c -included to change your name, Iimvo you?
Perhaps it is your intention to change your
w-To."
Mrs Jones' tone was now eh fiant, nnd this
tended to incn-use Mr. Brown's embarrass
rilent. "I haven't any wife, madam; I never had
any. On my word ns a gentli'inai!, never was
iiinriieel."
' And do yon intend to palm this tale off
upon 1111;? ' said Mrs Join's, with excile-mnut.
"If yon nre not married, I'd like to know who
I am '"
"I have no doubt you are a most respect
able lady," said Mr. Itrown, "and I conjec
ture, froui what you have said, that your
name is Jones, but mine is lirown, madume,
Bmi 'nJiS was.'
Meiinds," Bid the mother, sudder.lv tak
ing Imr child by the arm, and h nding her up
to Mr. Urown, Molimla is ho is this gentle
man ?''
"Why, that's father!" was the child's im
rnoe'iate reply, as the confidently placed he-r
band in his.
"You hear that Mr. Jones do you ? You
bear whr.t tho innoei-nt child says, and yet
you ban-the unblushing impudence te. deny
that you are my husband I The voie e ol
ns': tire, speaking through the child, should
overwhelm you. '( like to know, if you are
not her father, why you ate buying candy for
her? But I presume you never tow her be
fore in vourlife."
"I never did. On my honor, I never did.
I told her I would give hetr the) candy if she
wouldn't call me father any more."
"You did, did you? liribed your child
riot to call you father? Oh, Mr. Jones, that
is infamous! Do you intend to desert me to
the cede! charities of tho world? And is this
your first step ?"
Mrs. Junes was so overcome thut, without

Mr. Urown accordingly lent an arm to Mrs

was about to close the door upon her,
"Why are you not going yourself''
"Why, no, why should I ?"'
"Your wife should not go alcno; sha has

thoroughly convinced that be was Mr. Junes
followed the bolv in.
"Where shall 1 drive?" raid the whip.
"I I 1 don't know," said Mr. Itrown.
"Where would you like to he carried?''
"Home, of course," murmured Mrs Jones.
"1 elon't know 'vhere that is," said Drown.
"No 19.11 streei," said the gentle

"Are you quite sure that I am Mr .Ionos?'

"Of course," said Mrs .Tones
"Then," said he, ro-eignodly, "I ?1ippr,ie I
nm, I was firmly convinced this morningthni

Brown helped Mrs. Jones into tho parlor,
