But Bridget was ofl on Ijer wedding tour—one of those utterly unexpected and unwelcome happenings that are,forever obtruding themselves when deluded souls that dreani of bli« imagine themselves to be comfortably settled for an indefinite period.

Brunhilda and

were fairly

sick of

gen

eral house-work, and could cheerfully have shojt the remorseless milk-man who persisted in making us a morning call at the witching hourof 5 a. m. while the front-door bell generally was the plague of our lives.

So, when it rang at 3 o'clock 011 the hot test of hot afternoons, just when we had donned pur undress uniforms and settled our braids for a long summer's nap, we felt a little like—well, if a man were writ ing this, he would probably say swear ing. "Let them ringil" said I, viciously, 'I shall not go down."

Branhilda looked reflective. "We might lose a great deal in that way." said she. "I think I will look out of the window, at least."

Brunhilda is always expecting things she seems to fancy that she is living in one of Wilkie Collin's novels. "A very lady-like-looking person," she reports, presently, irom her point of observation through the blinds ot a iront window "but what can she want at thin melting time of day?"

And hastily spearing her disordered locks with three mammoth hair-pins, she slips into civilized attire with marvelous celerity, and glides down stairs. I laugh quietly, for Brunhilda's curiosity is quite a family legend, and it will probahly bs rewarded in this case by a book agent or an 'inquiry for some other house in the neighborhood, or a solicitation for charity

Presently, however, I am callcd, and requested to come down stairs and won dering what it can mean. I, too, adorn mvseLf with hair-pins and the regulation dress, and follow in the toptsteps of my younger sister.

Brunhilda is comfortably perched on the stairs—there seerns to be a prevalent idea that this point is a sort of refrigera tor in hot weather—and seated oh one of the hall ci.airs is a plump, sweet-looking girl in a plain black dress and dainty stra.v hat. She glances up at me as I descend, and then'modestly drops her long lashes over the spft gray eyes and I look at Brunhilda inquiringly. "This—this yodng person," she an nounces, hesitatingly, "is looking for a place."

My inward amazement is only equaled by my outward composure, as I ask the pretty vision before me, "'Did any one send you here?"

She smiles, and such a smile! Alt me! what it is to be in onl'd^ns, and have white teeth and dimples!'*' "No'm," she replies, in the sweetest of voices "but I was passing by—and I liked the flowers and the look or things— and I thought I'd see if you wanted a girl."

All this was very interesting of course, and quite out of the Common way but Brunhilda and I have not cut all our wis-dom-teeth for nothing, and do not, as a general thing, engage our domestics upon the plea of their liking the looks of things. When we asked for references, the girl colored vividly, and took from her bag a carefully folded slip of paperl on which was written legibly: "This is to certify that Marv Murphy is a member in good and regular standing, of the Fourth Presbyterian Church. [Signed] "JAMES ELLSWORTH,

Pastor."

"But this does not qualify you for house-work," said t, laughing a little at the novelty of the recommendation. ''No'm," replied Mary, with another of her smiles „but I can do hoitee-work, and I think I could suit you. Perhaps you wouldn't mind trying me, if you have no girl at present?" "1 telegraphed to Brunhilda, "What do you think?" and she telegraphed back, "Take her and the result was that in a very short time pretty Mary Murphy, who really looked better suited to the parlor, was established in our kitchen, and running the domestic machinery with an ease and rapidity that made housekeeping perfectly idyllic-

Never had we been so respectfully served, nor accomplished the fact of three njeals a day and various other necessities of living with so little creaking of machinery and rasping against the, higher nature and we found ourselves wondering Tiow life had eyer progressed with us hitherto without our kitchen fairy. Every one told us that we had a "treasure" and her very panner of opening the door" to a visitor was bewitching while grocers' young men and the milk-man arid butcher seemed to linger entranced when thev. came to deliver their wares. Mary took their compliments calmly, and had a ready smile for them all, without departing from the quiet dignity Of her ways, and we felt no shadow of coming evil, until ma.ters began to look serious with the one-armed postman.

This same postman had delivered bur letters regularly for .the last two years, always in the same business-like way, never lingering for a moment, never by any possibility smiling or exchangeing a word with either of us, and yet we looked upon, him quite in the light of a triend, and.speculated about his history, as lonely women will about those with whom they come in contact. He had been in the army and had lost an arm this was all we knew about him, except that he was evidently a German, and quite goodlooking—not to say scholarly in his aspect. "Were you aware," asked Brunhilda one morning, with an ominous expression "that Miss Murphy speaks German?" "Speaks German!" I repeated, in amazement. "And pray how did you find it out?" For Brunhilda's knowledge of German matches Shakspeare's Greek and Latin. "By hearing her address the postman in that delightfully musical and easily acquired tongue," was the reply. "And what did he say?" I continued excitedly. "As nearly as I could make out, this was his rejoinder:" and Brunhilda obligingly perpetrated a series of growls, with a squeal at the end of each one, which, so far as we were concerned, effectually illustrated Talleyrand's definition of language.

We both laughed, but with a chilling

matter. "I shall nip this in the bud,", sain severely. But presently te'ter thotighfs came to «e. I remembered my own ybu9 and I renfernbered Garaford,*hetf Miss Mattie, after the death of an old lov er, softens t* Martha»and allows "followers."

A week or two passed, and 1 was at tending to pt-eserves'one day in the kitch

en—jt

was a pleasure to do any thing in Mary's kitchen, every thing looked so im maculately sleajv ..poetical, thought—and I approached the subject upperraottc in? toy taind by saying, care lessly, "SOjMary, you know German it seems, How does .that happen?" 1

Mary'^pretty, fucr was overspread by a rosy doua as sfiti'replied, in a low tone, "1 picked it up bv myself. I had some G^rfnap books oiice*"

Then she s^t down and cri^d. much to my bewilderment and prcsetrfly she exclaimed, "I bhould like 'o tell someth ing, Miss Darlingford shall feel better when you know all." f'•I hope." said I, with a vague expecta tion of dreadful developments, "that ,ali is not very bad, Mary?.'

The flush deepened upon the pretty face, but for answer she took from her bosom a black ribbon to which was fastened- a plain gold ring I dropped tny preserves in amazement the girl lrioktd so young. •'You ar$ a widow, then?' said I, with a feeling of trader pity' "Poor child! don't knpw whether I am or not,' was the reply, with a fresh burst ot tears ''and that is what troubles me so."

I turned to my preserves again, with smile, as I thought of the good looking German ppstman "Miss Darlingford, continued the girl more composedly, "I. wanf to tell you every thing, and I am sorry now that I didn't do this at first. But I felt that it would.be against me,,ar!^ Xhad to get a place/ I have a boy six years old—" "In the name of wonder.' I ex-la,1T,^d "how old are you vourself?"

I am twenty-five." she saiJ, a little proudly ''and Mr. Blumenthal promises to take care of Willie lie wants me to let him pay his board now

Here I sat down hard in a chair to collect myself^ People have ot,her things besides greatness thrust uponjtliem and I saw that I was destined to prove a most unwilling benefactress to the .one-armed postman. What is it,(i thought, bitterly, that if one ever does happen upon that rara avis, a model servai^ all the powers of darkness seem leagued together to spirit her awav? "Where is your child?" I a^ked, with a strong effort. *4r h&va. put him to board a little way out of town," replied the girl, sadly. '"He is with a friend oftntoe,

\YhQ:takes

care of him and I always go to see him on my afternoons out but I dw miss him

And here she broke down again. "But what does it all mean?'' I contin ued, for mv. svmpathies were, get-.ing dreadfully worked-unon. "Why art you not living with jg^jy^m^bano, alive? or why is dead? Just Mary,-fiom begi

tli jfljyJiusbana, if lie is

At t.hi6 point Brunhilda, who always scehts a romance trom afar, appeared upon the scene, and gracefully established herself upon the kitchen dresser. "Seven years ago," said Mary, when I married William Murphv, I,thought there was no one like him in the, world, and I should think so yet it- hehadnt nearly worried the life out of me. But I shall always belie ye that his, mother as to blame for it all. She was that jealous of Will that it sometimes seemed as if she would:like to scratch my eyes out We lived with the old people for a year or two but after

little

Willie was born

I had rib peace at all for his grandmother, who insisted on hiving her way with bim, and I naturally thought that I had a right to mine. "The'old people had money, and lived very comfortably, and Will and his father carried on a coal-yard together but Will fell into bad company, and took to drinking and his father and mother wereso bitter toward him, it drove him to desperation. You see, they were people who had always been respected, and they couldn'trbear the disgrace and many's the night I've sat up watching for Will, so that they shouldn'tknow when he came

I taught myself German, Iv way of amusement, on those lonely evenings. Some one gave the books to Will and I nad' always been fond of study at school. ,, "After a whOe we leit the old people, and moved into two rooms of our own and I worked hard at: sewing and knitt ing and any thing I could get to support us. Will did not improve, though he was neveF-unkind-to me and one morning a

to California, and that he would never come back unlesss" he came a sober man andirfcH «p^oirtmf1nd our bpyi Hjs father had be^n with him than everjaiidyhe t|j&d he was Sidk of it all and as he was of ilo use to us, .he would not stay to be« disgrace. I have never :ard from him ainc^. •"Will'trmotKef- c&rte to *tfJe and said tbatMhe sHould lodk uport the boy as hers now, and we must go home wjth her at once. Bulf I put. her off to gain a .little time tor I was young, you see, and ignorant and I was afraid that she had the pOWer to rilake us go and wh she left me, I just packed mv trunk and Willie's, and went off to the depot, and came to 1—. I had this friend living near here—we used to go to school together and she got me a place in a stoie. But I couldn't pay my board and Willie's and clothe us both out of thnt, and finally I concluded to leave the boy' with Ellen, and get a place at service. "Ahd now I don't know whether Will is living or dead but I can't help thinking that if he was living he would have written to me, and sent me some money, for he always loved me."

It struck Mary's audience that he had a very strange way of showing his love but then they were old maids, and could not expect to understand such matters.

Mary presently produced a photograph, •which was just the opposite of what we expected for her Sweet William was a fine, manly-looking young fellow, and we felt drawn to him at once. But then we felt drawn to the postman, too and it was absolutely essential to the latter's happiness that number one should have departed from this terrestial seenUntil there was sufficient evidence of this, however, there was reason to fear an Enoch Arden denoument and we assured Mary that it was positively wrong for her to give Mr. Blumenthal any encouragement.

Ic was probably owing to this disinter-

cstsd advice-tW#we regular call from our friend. We were nearly as much sur prised hear him speak as though we had known him to be dumb and when he propounded the somewhat. startling question, 'iifl did not thittk the man what had jgpi^rpgdMa ryjjugljJJiO be dead by this one time, it cM appear as though —if the person in quesfixrhad a due regard for ihej^fitrtess. Of things—he would be but the point at issue was not so much whether he ought to be as whether he was.

Mr. Blumenthal, however, sipiply intended to exprefes hffcflrmlv grounded Opinion that,\V'ilHaJn Murphy was dead, and that hi? widow would show her good sense by dkandoning her present position of maid-of-all-work, and becoming Mrs. Blumenthal without delay. It seemed impossible to convince him that California was noLoutot the world, and that travelers did occasionally return from that boiurne. His own views of the region were evidently embodied in the belief that people who went there because they could not live.here, ended by giving up the attempt at living altogether, lie was certainly verv much in love, and it would be an excellent match for Mary, even if IK: hud not the regulation amount of limbs and belongings.

Brunhilda was quite carried away by the postman's eloquence ahd good looks. "I believe he is right," she said, when he had gone it not at all probable that Murphy is living, or he would certainly have written to his wife Adding, with her usual disregard of logic, "And whyshould two lives be spoiled with the uncertainty about a man who, after all, isn't worth it?"

I began to entertain a private opinion that Ilerr Blumenthal kept back our letters from mail to mail for the pleasure ot bringing them singly, and having a moment's confab with Mary several times in the course of the day for she had declined receiving visits from him until she could be assured that her husband was really dead. Poor girl! she was certainly very much to be pitied and it seemed quite inexcusable in William Murphy to give her so little,satisfaction either in liv ing or dying,

But one ipornirc something happened Mary received a letter trom her mother-in-law, that came through her triend Ellen, in which she was sternly summon ed to aittend her tiu sband's funeral. He had died of fever in a hospital, and the remains, by his own dying request, had been sent on from San Francisco to be laid in the family bi-rving ground.

The poor littie widow wds nearly beside herself at this news', and it was as much as we could do to get her and the bov off properly. She promised faithfully to'reti'rn to us—nothing, she declared, would induce her remain with old Mrs. Murphy but? it was with heavy hearts that we saw her depart.

I am sorry to say that our Teutonic postman, instead of sharing his inamor ata's sorrow, was evidently in a state of confused bliss—not much to be wondered at, perhaps, in the existing state ot tilings but bpmewhat inconvenient in its results, as w^e were constantly favored with letters' never intended for us, while our rightful correspondence watered elsewhere. We took a genuine interest, however, in this strange love affair, even while selfishly congratulating ourselves that the inevitable catastrophe of losing Mary would not occur for some months yet.

Alas! it wns,nearer than we dreamed. On the third day, instead of Mary, as we had expected, there came a letter and the letter began with the astounding announcement that our cidevant handmaid^ en wa=s so happy that she scarcely knew how to Write to trs!

People have different ideas of happiness but it really seemed to us jthat a slight decree of'unhappiness would have Men more becoming in Mrs. Murphy just then.

We went on with the letter in a soit of blank amassment, and read that, on the writer's arrival at tHe Murphy mansion, the first person she encountered Was the deceased himself. As may be conjectured, he had never been dead at all. although he had been very ill with fever in a hospital, and fancying himself dying, he had made the request to have hii remains sent on to his parents. The occupant of the next cot had died, and the two became somewhat mixed up in the minds of the officials—hence ihe n.: take, which, although inconvenien, was cheerfully borne with for the sake of seeing the lost son walk in alive and well.

Clothed in his right mind, too for he had long ago deplored his evil ways, and his industry and self-denial, had accumuated a nice little sum for the purchase of cozv home nest. Thither wife and child were to be taken at once and Mary wrote joyfully that she never knew how much she loved Will until she saw him standing before her at his father's door, when she had supposed him to be dead.

Not a word of poor Carl Blumenthal, except to say that Will Was so good, he did not blatne her or Mr. B. in the least, and would certainly shake hands with the latter should he chance to meet him —only, he waB-very .glad that he got home when he did.

We rejoiced, of course, in Mary's' joy but, if the trnth must be totd, we were very sorry for ourselves, and as to poor Mr. Blumenthal he was scarcely to be thought of at all—his future stretched before us such a grayj dismal. blank. We broke our dreadful news to him in fragments, giving him a morsel at a Hrne as we thought nitri. able to swallow it.

After along period of silence, the deserted German shook his head sorrowful ly, and said: "Thatone little woiiian she have a dreadful smile" (poor fellow, he meant "irresistabl^'),

Evidently he could not divest himself of the idea that Mary was in some way to blame for Mr. Murphy's unexpected appearance.

Bsunhilda actually cried for sympathy, arid took a melancholy pleasure in running to the door foi our letiers. But such is the ingratitude of human nature, that she was probably compared, somewhat to hsr disadvantage, with the los one.
