"J
LOOKED IT IN."
1 took my grief and locked it in, SAnd bolted and barred the door, Xnd told mynU it bad never been,
And never should beany more. "For life goes on—and mustgo—the same For month*," I midland for year*. A man, aaA weak? It were acorn and sbamel
Let women give way to tear*,"
Bat lo! in the nlgbt I beard a sound, 1 woke with a start and cry. ... My grief stood there, with its withes unbound.
And looked with it* awful eye. It took ray hand, with an ley chill, And wild, with a mock and Jeen "Your bolt* were strong. but I haunt you
Ton thrust me out 1 am here." I seek the crowd but It follows there— I cannot drive it away. The tarmt wild ill* in the air.
It gnaws at my heart all day And lit midnight mirk it comes-tbe ghost I And It moek* beside my bed. Oh hopeieas moan for the loved and lost
Oh 1 hearts that break for your dead. —[George H. Westfleid.

Martha Washington.
"Martha Washington, it seems to me *4 you're forgetting your antecedent*."

*0h. I'm sick of said the j-oung girl w_ proved, punching the mas* of dongb which she was lust "putting In the pan*" vigorously as she spoke. "Yes, mother, yon needn't look so horrified. I believe that in the very bottom of your heart you wish there had never been a Washington, or. at least, that none of our folk* bad bad anv relationship to him. See what It has oast us! Father is too fine a gentleman to work, because of hi* antecedents. Grandma lot him be waited on by slaves till he could do nothing for himself, because be was a fifty-fourth cousin to the real Washington*—" "Sixth, Martha, sixth!" interrupted her mother.
•ho was thus re-
The girJ gave a light little laugh, recommenced tossing and turning her dough, which she bad forarotlen for a moment, and went on: ••Sixth or sixtieth, all the same it's been the ruin of this family. We've been too fine. I'm theft nit bit of earthenware turned out, sud I won't remember my antecedents, nor that old grand-uncle that may leave me money if I remember that I am a

The mother sat quietly sewing. The pretty, bright, wilful daughter finished her bread-milking, put away her flourboard and other utensils, tidied the kitchen deftly, and then, drawing a cricket to her mother's feet, sat down and laid he»bead in her lap. •'Mothershe said, catching hold of, Mrs. Washington's hand as it stroked her hair, "you are not a Washington and if yon had not married at seventeen —a perfect baby you must have been— you wouldn't be so afraid of the family. Now, honestly, mothgpr, did you never wish the antecedent* were in Guinea?"
Mrs. Washington's face broke into a •mile. Mettle saw her advantage, and pursued it: "You did! you did! When was it. motherT Did you long to bake aud brow? Or did you want to step out and earns little money?"
The mother shook her head: "No, no, Mattle I'm not sure that your father would care to have me tell you. Bat you're not like the rest, and yon would not be ashamed of me." ••Of yon. mother!" "Well, yon see, the Washington! always felt that your father married beneath him. I was, as yon know, an orphan but, as you do not know, I was teaching vour father's cousins—two little children—when he met me and fell in love with me. Oh, child, I've tried earning money, and I was very glad to stop it and be loved and cared for. I've not your spirit. Mattle." ••It's the Washington spirit," said the gl*| mischievously. "Really, mother, what sheer nonsense to hold that because we have the best Virginia blood In our veins we mast sit stiu and almost starve, when we could easily earn money —that is, I can/' "But in such a way, child! If you
could teach, or paint, or *•1 could tenon—how to cook, or paint doors and snbaseerbut there seems little demand for that," said Mattle. "No as I told you, I'm going to cook at the Boggs mansion. That house shall be come historical as another of Washington's headquarters., Now, listen: I've fixed matter* so that for a time, at least, father need know nothing, and that mysterious grand-uncle need not bear how I've tarnished the name of Washington. Oh, that's the one thing that makes me willing to marry—some time."
There was Uttte oonsclous tons in the merry voloo, a pretty, bright flitting of color In the soft, girlish cheeks, ana an avoidance of the mother's eye, that told a story of itself. But, for reasons of her own, Mis. Washington took no heed of tone or blush, bnt kept to the matter in hand: "It you will do this thing, Mattle, you wast prepare me for your lather's questions.''
"Oh, that's what began about. You sypre to tell papa nothing bnt the truth—

luck I happened in when the ©#ok bad gone off in a flurry, and when Mrs. Boggs did not know what to do, because Florence was ordered all sorts of dellca4- oies which no one coold make. I volunteered, and had a splendid time in the kitchen. Oh, mother, what real poetry it is to cook with every modern applisacs, and all the eggs, cream and sugar you need, to say nothing of pastry Hour! well, yon know what a fan they made over It ail, what a lovely book they gave ra« (little dreaming rd have taken a a dollar bill gladly), and how, once in a while, since Florence has been well, I*ve had a delightful clay in that perfect kitchen, Yeetscdaj the cook gave warning, and, as there's to be a lot of -ompany all winter, Madame Boggs 'was tn despair, fat walked, with my hands in my apron pockets—**/" and
Mattle sprang up, to suit the action to

indnded. Think of that! The spirit of my illustrious cousin rises before me. I shall enter my kitchen with the same indomitable courage with which he ged the Delaware and it won't be so cold: cold is the one thing I hate." And Mattle shrugged her pretty shoulders, as if she felt some draught even in the warm kitchen. Perhaps it was because she knew that the kitchen was the only warm room in the house, for the Washingtons were very poor, though they fti" kept up some outward state. There was afire ready laid in the large parlor grate, bnt if callers bad made it

A
juiuie uy chances go by, till now tbev lived rent free on a place owned by uncle Wash sngtoii—an eccentric old bsohelor, who had declared that be would leave bis money to such of the Washingtons as proved worthy of the name. "Master George," as he had been called bv his Virginia slaves till Mattle was a girl of twelve, thought the only way in which his eldeet daughter oould

antecedent*!"
rove worthy of the name wae to take easily, in Southern fashion but that was just what Mattie would not do. From a little cbild'she had been a rebel, as was her cousin before her, bnt, like him, for years she had tried to submit to lawful authority. It was not till Jack and little Gecrge began to need an education that mattie resolved to use the one talent she had been able to cultivate. So, in spite of her mother's feeble protects and dire imaginations, the next morning saw our heroine established in the kitchen of the Big House, with a kindly American.girl as resistant. "It's just like a play or a story, Mattie," said Florence Boggs, who was far more democratic than Bogas pere desired. "You look just too bewitching in that cap, thongh yonr apron is rather big." "The cap I consent to, as it keeps my curly hair within bounds, but the aprons are none too large. Remember, Miss Florence', (with a mock courtesy), "I'm the cook and do remember dear," added Mattie seriously, "that Ann Brown won't mind me a bit, and will prove insubordinate, if you come in here and carry on too much." "Nonsense!" said Florence. "Why, It's only my carrying on that keeps the gltl over her second month. They like fun and frolic. But indeed I won't worry you lunch is at one o'clock, and I beard mamma order sweetbreads and Noples sponge so I'll leave you to agonize." "No agony about it but still I'm glad to be left, fer, to tell the truth, Ann and I will have a great deal of setting-to-rlghts to do for a few days."
Two weeks passed. Mrs. Boggs exulted over her delicate desserts, her clear soups, her entrees and lunches. She longed to tell the secret of who it wss that did the cooking all so much enjoyed, but for once she did not yield to temptation, bnt kept her promise.
Meanwhile, the old weather-beaten farm-house was a dreary place without the sunshine of Mattle's presence. The father, who delighted in the girl's vigor and loved to watch her flitting hither and thither as he sat listless, missed hor even more than her mother, who was kept busy doing the work Mattie had tak6n out of her hands for the past year. But, above all, the boys missed their ftist6r«
Only the fourth night of her "visit" (as they thought it) they were looking disconsolately ont of the window, when Jack jumped up, crying out, "Oh, mother, there comes Mr. Van Brunt from the Big House! he'll tell us something about Mattle."
Mrs. Washington nearly lost her selfpossession, for she knew, what Jack little suspected, that Mr. Van Brunt bad no idea of Mattle's being at the Big House. What- should she do? How oould she keep Mattie's secret "Jack," she said hurriedly,
,#you're
not fit to be seen go np-stairs at once and. George, you must chop some kindlings." "But, mother—" pleaded George, who was very fond of Mr. Van Brunt. "At once!" said the mother, shoving him so decidedly towards the cellar steps that be felt resistance to be useless.
She was just in time, and, thinking her lucky stars that her husband had strolled off to the barn, Mrs. Washington opened the door to welcomea manly
oung fellow, who inquired if "Miss were at home. "She is not," said the mother, secretly rejoicing, for the girl's sake, at the ml disappointment the young man took no pains to hide. "My daughter has left us for a time. I will tell her you called, Mr. Van Brunt and I thank you, in her name, for the box of books. They have been a great souice of comfort to Mattie: the girl does enjoy a good book." "That Is one of her charms. I bad counted on hearing her opinion of those books," said Mr. Van Brunt.
By this time, though trembling lest "father" should return or George put In an appearance, Mrs. Washington was forced to invite the young man in and cloee the door. She murmured some apology ss to the parlor fire not being lit, now that Mattie was not st home. (Mr. Van Brunt's former visits had been In the summer.) But the man hastened to say he lovedthe homeroom—that his earliest recollections were of just such a warm, cosy living-room, where his dear grandmother had presided. Indeed, he made himself so pleasant, and Mrs. Washington's heart so warmed toward him, that, feeling he had made a good impression, he ventured to ask tor Miss Mattle's address. He would like, if Mrs. Washington did not object, to write to Miss Mattie—only about the books. Qoold Mis. Washington trust him so fsr
Poor woman 1 she hesitated and stammered and be, sorry that he bad ventured the request, hastened to withdraw. Mrs. Wsshlngton would have detained htm, and tried to explain, if ever so lamely, but she saw her husband coming up to the back door as she followed Mr. van Brunt to the front. At all risks those two must not meet!
So Gilbert Van Brunt went back to the Big House, very much pooled as to Matties whereabouts, sna not inclined to show such attentions to his second cousin. Miss Florence Boggs. as Mr. and
Boras expected from him. It had setued yeius and years ago between
Mrs.
the parents that Florence and Gilbert should be thrown together and so make a match but match-making Is like spoage-tmks mixing—it requires a very dieft and dettotts hand. Whether the yonng people bad been thrown together too mocb, or not enough, 1 cannot say hot, at any rate, they are not at all inclined to make a match or, rather, he wss not. As to Florence, her head wss not deeply toadied, hat she liked Gilbert, sna rather looked upon him as bar property. She was glsd that he wss not very well off, for "JPs had pleotyfor both, it—n and there it stood with Flpr* •net. Certainly Gilbert gave her very little rea«c»n to repeat that "if' on the day when he xeiwaet from vbdting the
Florence had introduced Gilbert to Mattie, snd knew thst he liked the
"Gilbert should be told who had cooked his dinner. The yoangman_was pretty thorouph-
farm-house again. Yet he longed to hear news of his friend he felt ,sure, from little signs, thst the sweet, #om~ anly girl did care somewhat, snd w&bt care still more, for him, unworthy Is he felt himself to be of such a—but you sll know, or will know, how he exalted thai beloved and humbled himself. At last, after his longing had brought on a reel headache, excusing himself one Sunday from church, he only waited till the coast was clear to walk over to the faina house snd try to get one more word wish Mattle's mother.
Mattie, too, only waited till the cotm was clear to run home. A boned turkory had been prepared the day before—hovr the girl longed for mother to see it plenty of cakes, custards and pies were on the shelves, and Ann, very proud of the trust, was to prepare the lunoh, so that Mattie might have several hours at home. She slipped up to the pretty room Florence nad fitted up for her in the attic, and. donning a suit which her friend had helped her to contrive, and a new bonnet she had insisted on adding
rejoicing in the tbougt girlish fashion. As she left the side door, Gilbert Van Brunt went out at the front, and, to the ride path, came face to face wit! the one of all others he most longed to see. "Miss Mattie!" "Shades of my forefathers!" groined Mattle, horrified, yet struck with the absurdity of the situation. "Good morning, Mr. Van Brunt. I am going to run home." "And I was just going to call on your mother, said the young man, commenting internally somewhat in this fashion, "What has the child done? her mother dee* not know she is so near. I cannot —I will not—believe anything but good of her-bless ber pure sweet face,"and deliberately refusing to question as to how it happened that Miss Mattie should be staying in the house with him and not be presented in the parlor pr seated at table.
As fpr Mattle, after the first shock was over, it seemed as if the only natural and possible thing was to be walking with this one man. Is it not always so? Love never sees anything incongrcau in any meeting it is simply a coming torn a nsrfact whole. So, 1 people let the
gether to form a perfect whole. So, by tacit consent the young people let the present alone, and talked of the past and the future—Gilbert's future, that is—but be managed to make her fe*]»Mir hie was hers. He bad Just Actioing medicine in a large *a jL? *d she ever been there? "No but I have an ui£J» Sg there —a queer old man,* whwf»j nave never seen, and never shall, I fancy." "So that old Mr. Washington is your relation 1 thought he must be, for he reminded me of you."
Mattie stared in surprise: "Uncle Washington aud I alike? Why, he is very peculiar!" "Yes, he has that reputation but I know what be does for the poor I know how he honors true manhood and worn-an-hood. It was that trait in bim thst made me think he was kiu to you Mattle."
They had reached the farm-house by that time, and Mrs. Washington, who had sent ber husband and boys to church, excusing herself on the score of dinner/stood at the door to welcome her girl, wondering how much of her secret Mr. Van Brunt had gueesed. He only knew there must be a sesret, and generously refused to come in at once, saying that be wished to keep out in the air longer on account of his head,—which, when we consider that it was real February weather, was oertainly heroic treatment of a headache. "Not a thing, mother," said the girl, as she shut the door, after' a few last words and smiles. "He met me at the Big House, and yet never asked a question But I shall tell him—" "Mattie, my child, what will he think? Ob, you were very headstrong and foolish to go. I really think Mr. Van Brunt meant—" •"Now, mother, does this look as if I had been foolish? interrupted Mattle, putting a roll of bills in her mother's lap, ana most anxious that Mrs. Washington should not express her thoughts as to Gilbert Van Brunt for had she not her own suspicions, which were bard enough to combst? "There is enough to pay for coal and lights and nioetles, and that good Mrs. Boggs has kept my secret peifectly. Florence gives me French lessons every day, and study as I cook, aud sew in the evenings. See my suit: is it not a perfect fit Ah, now, mother, say I'm a good girl. I did it for you and the boys, mother,—indeed I did f" And the girl, unstrung by the clash of varied feelings, burst into tears
The mother, soothed and comforted her as only mothers can, snd Mattie before long was quiet herself, and even had her pet fling at the antecedents, so that by the time Mr. Van Brunt knocked at the door Mrs. Washington felt thst the girl hsd better make what explanation she coold.
It was done very simply snd straightforwardly. Mattie did not dream bow truly heroic her story sounded in the ears of Gilbert Van Brunt. That she should hire herself out ss a cook, to give her mother and brothers delicacies and education, seemed simple enough to her: it was divine to him. He hsd hard work to hold back the love and admiration that surged within but be did, for what right had he to win such a woman He resolved first to win his

ots, and (then to ask her to allow tc be her knight. Mattie saw thst she hsd not lowered herself in his eyes he only Insisted that Florence should be told that he "knew the cook," for he was sure he could not keep (mt of the kitcken! Could he not snare In the French lessons?
Then as "father and the hoys** would be home soon, Mr. Van Brunt took his leave, and the two women "got dis ner." How very poor and plain It seemed to Msttie, yet bow delightful, because it wss a home dinner!"

Mattie tried to be very faithful. Luckily, Ann was developing into a real assistant, snd then one can talk while one "mixes," and Gilbert insisted on beating eggs—once: ss he spilled half the whites, he was never trusted again. What merry times tbey had,—Florence, Mattie and Gilbert! French, as fsr ss possible, was the language ol the hour, which simplified matters very much as to Ann's presence.
But all the fun snd frolic had to be laid aside when Mattie received notice that Mrs. Boggs has invited four gentleman friends, besides the company already here and as two of them are perfect strangers to me," said Mrs. Boggs, ss he interviewed her youthful cook, "I wish to have everything very perfect. Spare no trouble, Mattie, and spart from the month's payment, I will ve yon ten dollars for getting np thst one dinner."
So all visitors were forbidden entrance to Mattie's domain. For three days sne planned and worked, until, on the day itself, she felt ready for the combat. Then, suddenly, at the very last moment, came disaster: James, the butler, was taken ill: the dinner would never go smoothly without some one at the head of the three waiting-maids! Mrs. Bonn and Florence were in despair. Mr/i
Tan Brunt surmising that if it were hot for his presence Mattie would volunteer, went to her and asked her if she would mind masquerading as a waitress. "I'd like nothing better." said the girl, '•to tell the truth. I only feared lest you or Florence might forget, and speak to me. Will you promise to treat me 'en domcstique f" "I promise to hide my real feelings for a little longer, Mattie." said the young man, with sacb a look that Mattie was glad to hide her face by running to "look after" something on the stove.
So, to Mrs. Boggs' intense relief, Ann sent up the dinner, and Mattie dressed in a charming waitress costume, stood behind her chsir, ready for any emer-
fency.
TJae guests, all but Gilbert Van
trunt, were strangers to the girl, and only one gentleman seemed worthy of much notice. He was a large, powerfullooking old man his balr, white as snow, fell almost to his shoulders his dark, keen eye took note of all that was going on, and responded by frown or smile to every word. He was not a talker, but a listener. Mattie longed to hear his voice, but nevelr happened to be within its res.ch till, the dessert placed upon the table, she was about to withdraw. Just then, in a sudden stillness, a sentence struck ber ear, and she lingered to hear Mrs. Boggs' answer, for the old gentleman had been the speaker: "Excuse my commenting on the food we have eaten, my dear madam, but I have been at many a table, and have never tasted such elaborate dlsbes, with such true home-flavor. Your cook must be a treasure, Good cooking is my hobby." "She is a treasury" said Mrs. Boggs. "She! Yon don't mean to tell me, tnadam, that this dinner has all been prepared by a woman "No," said Mrs. Boggs, "for she Is a youn^girl,—a very young girl. Indeed, "Allow Bse."said Gilbert, Interrupting his aunt tibst shamefully, to ask you a question, sir. Suppose a girl, talented in many ways, bnt with no opportunity ot improving any talent but the one for cooking, should need to earn money: would von think it beneath her to enter a friend's kitchen and serve that friend as cook f" "Bessath her? I should say aqtit a girl— But 1 always lose patience whep I talk oil these matters. 1 only ask "to know ySnr girl cook. I should like to take )MM£er to see some relatives of niine noHftl fjom here,—people who, because they bear an illustrious name, —and no one can deny that our name is a proud one,—scorn to do one single action worthy of a man or woman. The father sits by his fireside, too much the gentleman to go out and earn an honest penny. The daughter—1" "Is before you, and cooked this dinner, Mr. Washington," interrupted Gilbert Van Brunt, rising, and catching hold of poor Mattie, who had almost fainted with surprise. "What? Is that— Good heavens! Is there really a Martha Washington who could do that?" ejaculated the old man. Then, as Mattle stood confused and embarrassed, he added, "And ss pretty as any Washington ever was,"— which brought down the house snd sent Mattie off.
But she was hunted up again and introduced in good form to ber uncle, though not before Gilbert had managed to tell her his plan as to spurs snd knighthood, which Mattie thought very unnecessary: she was no fine lady, but a good cook! "Well, well," said the old man, as he caressed Mattie's hand, which showed some signs of real work, "I vowed I would not leave my money to any Washington who had not a true Washington spirit but I little dresmed it would be a slight, delicate girl that would share it. Do you know, my girl, that you will not need to cook for others after this I wi'l give you a handsome income as long as I live, snd you shall hafe all when I am gone." "But I've promised to cook for Gilbert, sir," said Mattie very quickly, for she feared he would never come forward to claim her after hearing of her fortune. "Gilbert! Gilbert! I do trust he's not some clodhopper. Itopper. "He is your friend Dr. Van Brunt,"
"He is xclaimea Mr. making the best
of bis own disappointment as to Flor-
"Well, well, I sm lncky fellow," exclaimed Mr. Washington, shaking hands with Gilbert. "Many a time, as is young of the poor, I've wished be son ana now I can adopt him as
I have beard of this yonng man's care pt as my brave Martha. I have but one regret,—that he is not a Washington. Our antecedents"
Mattie could not help it: the merry laugh would escape, and Gilbert and
Florence, who knew of her bete noire,
"So you don't like to hear of yonr antecedents?" said the old gentleman, pretending to be very angry, when Florence had explained matters somewhat. "Ah, well, I grant that it Is better to look forward Instead of back bnt I'm an old man, and childless."
Mattie's sweet face grow serious, as she slipped ber hand once more under her uncle's arm, as If to remind him that be had kith and tan, if no son or daughter. The kindly old face brightened at the girl's toudi: he too would look forward.
Mrs. Boggs talk**of that dinner-party to this day, and continually lanwrats the loss of her one nerfoet eopk, wbi^the Books mansion is called the "Wasblng-tonHead-Quarters" by all the inittetM.
