Her father had been respectuble nicchaiiio, but died afier about two years of illness, which bitterly .impov erished the family. I'va had, however, (she being the eldest,) received a good plain education before the great calamity came upon them, and no'.le hearted and unsclS.-h, begao her work of assieiing in tho support. The lust week previous to the holiday vacation 6ho had been boarding with a Mrs. Carpenter who was makiug gigantic preparations for guests she expected from Now York. . "You never met my brothars, Eva." sjiesuid, and then began to give the pret ty young teacher a description of them. There's Sam, George and Johnny, the youngejt ; and such times us they have whep tbey get out here to rest and rusti cate, as they call it!-13ut dear me, I don't get much rest or peucei for ihey are like a lot of boys let out of school. Such tricks and pmnks no one ever saw. The last timo they visitedfhe all together, John and Sam actually cut a pane of glass from the window acd polled George out of my best room with snow !

George ,and John did so, and wheu safely seated in the cars, began to speculate about, the absence of Sain. , ; . , -j ,. ., "No reason upon earth why he shouldn't have been along," said Georg. tl1, , , "No, for he told me this morning he would certainly bo on hand," replied John. "I can't make it out, unless he has ta ken the five o'clock train, by mistake.". "Not a bit of it,"' laughed John, who fancied he undertood tho entire pro gramme. "It is more, likely ho' took that train on purpose to get Aunt IlanDahs spare bed room and make us take up with straw-ticks end feathers." "I didn't think of that, but I reckon you arc right. We must contrive to get him out somehow" " ' ' ' "ISct your life on that."

She often reminds her brothers-in-law of her unceremonious introduction to a snowdrift at the dead of night, and .they retaliate by the fehower bath given tier by Sam. And she twines he,r arms about Sam's neck, and with tears in her . sweet blue eyes, declares that but for that epi sodo she fears she would never have had a husband! , Kindness to Cows.
