She had been a Miss Cathcart, poor and pretty, and she had at an early age mar ried ilobert Pierce, a rich manufacturer of a great city, whose money was abun dant, if bis family was doubtful. To him Mr. Pierce and his wife, the guardianship of the young he'ress had been consigned, notliecausethelateMr. Barrington considered them the most desirable persons to bring up a ypng jrirl not because ho liked their stvle. or their friends, or their mode of life. but because Laura Pierce was the only relation his girl had, and because, with all her foibles, she was a kind-hearted woman, and because Mr. Pierce, if not a gentleman, in Mr. BarringtoVs sense of the word, was also a kindly naturcd man, and away from his home, where he was indulgent to weakness, was a keen, shrewd man of business, and hon est withal who would take care of Margaret's money as if it were his own. Stringent provisions for the education of the young lady were made in her father's will; she had, to use Mrs. Pierce's plaintive expression, " enjoyed every advantage" which the best schools, the first masters, the most accomplished mistresses, could give. She had passed with honor examinations bristling with difficulties; she had imbibed an immense amount of condensed science, condensed art, condensed theory of music, general facts, music and languages. She had never been allowed to go out alone; she had been taken to hear the most cele brated singers and musicians, to lect ures, to concerts, to literary and scien tific tournaments; she had been strictly kept aloof from anything like woman's rights on the one hand, and a vulgar flirtation on the other. With the best intentions in the world, her pastors and masters had employed every energy to make her into a model young lady a model in a social, a domestic, a benevo lent point of view. The Established Church had seen after her morals and religious belief; she had. "learnt po she had " learnt" litical economy, because she would some day have an estate to mam.ge; many other things had been done to improve and make her what she ought to be. Aud with what result? The result that when, at nineteen years of age, she was committed into the hands of her guardian and -his wife as a finished young lady, it was found that all her training had not spoiled her; had not been able to prevent her from deciding for herself on many matters; had not made her less incorrigibly natural and outspoken. She did not altogether be lieve in the Church of England. She said she did not understand Wagner's music She said she thought there was a great deal of truth in what the woman's rights ladies said for them selves. She said she did not sec any harm in a flirtation. She said she did not believe that her first duty was to be sure she married a man who would look after her money and take care of her. She aid she was not going to marry any one at all until long after she was twenty-one until she had tried whether she could not look after her money for herself. She said many oth er things of a like nature, not loudly, but with a very soft, delightful yoice, and with a smile at once soft and bright. Moreover, she said she did not care much r.bout girls, and she thought it must be because she had never known anything but girls. She had no special friend to whom she wrote daily half a ream of paper, and called it a letter. She bad struck up a great friendship with Master Thomas Pierce, the eldest hope of her guardian, and Laura, his wife. Thomas and his sisters a.dored her. She had early gained from Mr. Pierce the soubriquet of "The Incor rigible," and ho had called her by it ever since. Yet Margaret, as she stood in the window, silently sipping her tea, and so allowing me time for this long digress ion, diu not look a very incorrigible person, or a very bad person in any way. Indeed, one vas particularly struck with the womanly softness of all her traits a softness tempered by a cer tain fire, bnt which never for a moment disappeared. She was indisputably a beautiful creature; tall, and formed on the lines of a Juno rathor than of a Hebe, none of her features, taken sepa rately, could be called handsome; but the tout ensemble was charming. When she smiled, a sunny, generous smile, one quite forgot that her face was more broad than oval; one pardoned the ir regular shape of her nose, because no other nose would have been suited to the rest of her face; and there was no possibility of disputing the beauty of her red-gold hair, of the -true Titian- esq ms bat nettJwrlJmaanirgJhgSSort: tSfce WMtaer,aore;amf)y Bore richlv JaUnuid tliin iamt .airls of W iM.tidwitktaii brn laxuriaaee -oT life aa.lallty. rat miPgfeC:afo soma Siiulhwrii, ataivhaa1l aaifaWa!iia."1Li-f yjciyttwr ' Bssssl -iaraw-.swsl s a as ' " Ba4elMrsMjlUwfaa ow, -1 ibwi Mr; W" mmt- VIl,).l TJl.'N.rO.VHr a career before-me icm-at-uiM' i i wnanUiiuVjrnK I.-'. r- . 2l z - 1' -v . 3iMjHJB!riiiter.cw ffe yoa asTt is j5-- L 1 I wonder what?"

Pieree's touching picture of rural life and mutual goocl will was inter rupted by a little, hard, sarcastic laugh on the part of the recipient of her ad vice. " Your scheme is too, too beautiful, Laura. I must think about it. Sup pose I talk it over with Mr. Biddulph to-night." " I wish you would. As I said, I am sure he would be delighted." "Oh, he is vastly obliging, I know. 'Miss Barrington of Beekbridge Ab bey;1 'Mr. Biddulph, of Beekbridge Hall.' How well the two names sound together, don't they?" Laura, though not a humorist, nor a woman of mind, usually knew when people were really agreeing with her, and when they were only pretending to do so. She replied: "No, not at all, as yon say them. I know it is of no use talking to you. You will listen to no one, though you have seen nothing of the world, and I " "Was married at eighteen, and have never seen anything but drawing-rooms of well-to-do people since; if 'ou call that knowing the world. As you say. Laura, I have seen nothing of the world. The one object of mv instructors ap pears to have been to keep me quite ig norant of it. Tom knows far mor about it than I do; yet he is not twenty one, nor has he an estate and an income to manage. It is just for that reason that, whatever else I do, I will see a lit tle of the world before I before I think of anything else. .Meantime, I hope you won't imagine every time yu see mt open my purse that I am about to dissi pate my entire fortune upon some un worthy or absurd object.

I shall bt too limp to dance a step, if I have any more advice to-night." Mrs. Pierce, relieved toknowtbat her husband was in the house, inquired next: "How many dances have you promised for to-night, Madge?" "Dances. One." "Only one. Is it the first?" "It is the first." "I think I can guess who will have it." "I don't believe you ecu. You may have three, tries if you-like. Now then." "Maurice Biddulph.", "No," said Margaret, coldly and composedly. "No!

DeB't Sccld the Beys. Parents too often induleo in a fruit- Ll6S scolding of their boys, and in under rating-every thing they attempt to do. No boy ia going to develop all his latent worth and power when he is constantly underrated and belittled in his efforts to do something. Boys should be taught self-relianae and confidence, for these are the traits most needed when they become men; but these they must acquire after they have broken off from parental control, if indeed they ever are acquired. Better far stimulate a boy's confidence in himself, even at the risk of his becoming' conceite'd and self-important, than dwarf his self-respect and confidence. Children arc incapable of rendering double the service to parents that is usually performed by them, only because they are made to believe that they are of no account, merely great awkward boobies, and don't know how to perform even the simplest aots. This is a great wrong to the child and also lo the parent, whe losea-years of- valu able service; and the child, who has wasted and frittered ,away its most sus ooptible period for Instruction. Let your boys believe thatjjiey are capable of accomplishing almost anything, eVen to the pulling dow'n of .mountains or tiie uprooting of forests. Let them try it 3t won'rSurt them. Asa general rule a boy's confidence in 'Bis own powers needs stimulating rather than weaken ing.
