Stepmother's Lesson.

How is it that I never lose or intalav my things? If you will listen, girls, I will tell you or one of the pleasantest as well as the most miserable episodes of my girlhood—one which I consider the turning-point of my life for up to that time, I was as harum-scaruni as you and Rosa can possibly be.

You see, girls, when I was fifteen I bad a stepmotner. I had been living with difle.cnt relations all along, and they had potted and spoiled me, and let me have my own way a great deal more than is good for any one. When my father married again, he sent for raj to come and livo once more in the old homo at New Kent.

Oh, dear, no! It was not at all like the fine brick house you BOO thoro new. There wero no fashionable bay-windows and mansard roofs and showy makebelioves at all. Indeed, the old house reminded one of a motherly old setting ben, with little wings and roofsand dormer uiudows in every direction.

And tbero w&s tho sweetest old-fash-ioned garden, with straight walks and broad borders edged with box and flags, and tilled, from early spring till nearly Christmas, with brilliant and fragrant bloom—masses of single bjacinths, blue, white, and pink scarlet and purplo tulip*, ragged-robbins, peonies, and white and blue violets and clove pinks everywhere. The damask-rosebushes grew higher than one's head, and no one could question their right to be called queen of the flowers, so loaded were they with buds and blossoms. In the dewy mornings stepmother tried to make me gather these into baskots, to be packed away with salt until such time as they could be distilled into rosewater.

Thon there were banks of single hollybocks lliuutim in their summer bravery of pink, red, white, and yellow, and the rioh autumnal crocus, cultivated, Hnot for their beauty, but that the care•fnl housewifti might add their dried saf^fron pistils to the bundles of dried thyme, lavender, and swoet marjoram.

Stepmother was tall and brisk, with bright, dark eyes, and a sweet smile for any one who cared to win it.

It is a pity my head was so full of novels, and the gossip of tattling relations, for, but for that, we would have jogged on well frwm the first.

As it was, I saw t^ingi as in one of thoso "monkey mirrprs,'* as children call them. Everything appeared crooked and distorted.

Father was in his store a great deal, and wo wero nocessarily together most of tho time. How she did toil and strive to teach me plain sewing! Tho

rule, in those days, was to take tw» threads in lioni tiling and skip four. Then there was feather-stitching, her-ring-bone, and sampler work, all of which wore necessary to a fashionable -education, and had been heretofore neglocted In mine.

I had born so fond of poring over "Children of the Abbey," "Clarissa," and other trashy novols, some of which spread Into as many as eight volumes, tnat my relations had mistaken for gonitis what wns simply idloness and lrivolity of mind, anu they would not force me to worry over sewing or knitting.

Now, I had my regular task .set each day, ind often tho work to pick out and «do over again. I tried to be as troublenome about it as I oould, though I had little need to try. It came perfectly natural to me to lose ray thimble, broak noodles, and soil my cotton.

Mother's savage barbarity was duly reported to my loving relatives, who lookod upon mo as a persecuted little saint.

I went on in this way. fretting and galling myself, imagining to oa chains what were rt-a!Ij* unties, and would have been pleasant duties ir willingly per^^formca.

At l»»4 tliryre was a rumor In the vlllage of a ball to be given by the young men at tho "Eagle Tavern"—they call it "Centennial House" now. Such things were talked about a long time beforehand hi thoso days, and it was one bright =•morning in October that an invitation canto to mo. a Sarah Nelson's mother bad been ransacking her trunks anu chests for a week, hunting up finery for Sarah to wear, ami I was perfectly wild to go.

Father called it "a will of tho devil's," i«5*"a snare set by tho wicked one," and "a tomptation to lolly" when I asked ^. his permission to go. I did not even '^mention the subject to mother, far I had persuaded myself that she took a delight -*.5 in seeing UJU miserable. The day came —I sat w-r my morning's task with a heavy heart, and the tears blinded me *jio, Ieouldscwwly dtotinttulsh"herringloiio" from "feathar^itch."

Mother wan exceedingly buvy all ^morning but had her back turned to me, and did not oven have ibe ?uriSositv to care what she was doing.

After my work was (intelted I wanderupstairs, and around my little room jtUat I never took any paina to make cho*rr or inviting, and then dragged 4 myself disconsolately down, seating Uft myself at bottom stair, feeling uttorforlorn.

Through th! half open door I beard M1 nnother sav U) father: Now, Mr. JMllon, you bare got to *t *1grani mo a favor, and I will not take ftir snansw«r." +&W Ho «nswer«*d cheerfully, a* h« always did to her. and then kiaaed her.

Not being really a bad-hearted girl, I burst into tears, and then and there begged hor forgiveness for air my past evil behavior.

There were tears In her eyes, too, but she quickly dried them, and made me hurry with my dinner that I might have time*to dress.

Italia commenced in those days long before dark, and I was in such a flatter of excitement, that I would have been too late but for her aaaistanoe.

While I stood looking at and admiring myself In the mirror, she brought a pair of boautifully carved gold ear-rings, and fastened them in my ears.

Tbev were aiven me by my mother, Pbwbe,^ she said, "and you must promise to take the best care of them in the world."

I quickly promised, and with my locket and gold chain, thought I was as fine as a queen.

Mother had sent word to Sarah Nelson and her brother to call by for me, and in a little while I was on my way to my flret ball. was it, to be sixteen and never at a.ball? You, children, go now-a-days when you ought to be in your trundle-beds.

You may depend my cousins opened their eyes when they saw me so tine, and nobody aftor that ever dared to make a spiteful speech In my presence about mv stepmother. 'Dance We certainly did I None of your Germans, and Bostons, and Lanoers, but regular breakdowns. The girls minded their steps and got off the "halfwing," heel and toe, and "rocklng-bal-ance:" while our partners "doubleshufiled" and out the "pigeon-wing" very neatly. There was a grand supper —roasted pigs with lemons in their mouths, ducks, geese, turkeys, hams, beef and lamb—everything substantial! And, after the dancing of those days one needed something solid.

We had slapjacks and hot waffles, pies, puddings, and snowy mounds of sliced loaf-bread. For the last, were large aishes piled with "kiss-caudy," and we thought tho loving mottoes were the best part.

When we went back to the ball-room we played games, "Fishing in the Corner," "Sister Phcebe," "Clap In and Clap Out," and "Choose the Lady

Then came tho last wild dance, "Money Musk," ahd the "Old Virginia Reel."

Your Uncle John Lewis danced it with me, and then we all started for home. Your Uncle John left me at my door, when the day was just breaking, and I went up to my room in such a flutter that I could not have told you what twice two made.

I was dead-tired, and throw my pretty dress in a heap over a chair, my shoes and stockings jnst whore they chose to drop, and to this day I have no idea wh*t I did with the oar-rings.

When I awoke from what appeared to me a short nap, the midday sun was pouring in at the window. My head was clear as a bell, and I sprang to my feet, blnshing with shame at having so completely forgotten my promise to mother about the ear-rings.

I shook every article of clothing, climbed a chair to look on the tall mantelpiece, searched my trunk, and looked In all the possible, and then the Impossible, places where they could have been concealed. Tbey were not to be found. I hope, my dears, you may never be so miserable as I was all that day and the next.

I could not eat, and scarcoly answered the questions that were asked me. Mother did not say a single word about tho ear-rings. Ob, bow I racked my mind and body searching for them If she had asked me, I hope 1 should have had the strength of inind to tell her the truth but it was borne in upon my mind very strongly at that time what misery, and evon'sin, may arise from careless habits.

At the end of tho second day, I went to her with tho tears in my eyes, and owned my fault. But she said nothing, only turned to a bureau drawer, and taking them out, laid them on my lap. "Tlioy aro yours, Phcebe," she said, kindly "and I trust tho trouble you have exprrlenced in the last two days may make you tako good care of them as long as you live."

I thanked her as veil as I could for thie jewelry then, but have thanked her for tho lesson she taught me a thousand times since.

THB last Legislature of California passed a law authorizing tho infliction of corporal punishment upon men for whipping their wives. There have been several cases of wife-beating since the the enactment of tho statute, but magistrates have hesitated in ordering the use of the lash. A Justice of tho Peace in Colusa, however, resolved to enlorce the law, and sentenced man convicted of lioating his wife to rer»i ve twenty-one lashes on his back. The attorney for the defendant line appealed against the conviction and sentcnco, and tMs will probably raise the question as to the constitutionality of tho act. The Constitution of California says, "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines enforced, nor shall cruel or unusual punishment be Inflicted." It is olaimod that whipping is both cruol and unnsual punishment.
