FAt Ptliktbl emi a widower. He '.
lived all alone in the old farm house that the
had been tl father's and his grand-father' like
beforet him, and how he lived there no- cver
body k#-'. Fil PriMndle .was naot touc
hospitable; since his wife had died--ive are
year- come' next November-not a humant
soul or body had been allowed to euter peat
the ltI,use of mourning. But if he was thou
not hospitable, he wp very sociable; not rem
because he cared thout for the society of S
his fellow-creatures. but because he wanted wat
to grulmble; and, as every one know.n,
good grumbling requires company. het
Every pkleasant evening Farmer Prindle old
a visited some of his neighlors, and favored am
them with his views of life. These views all
were gloomy in nature and stern in ex- "
pression. II'e could take up any bright ali

Mrs. M'ride was-right there. Thle my
-"horrid old thing." Peter Prindleh by self

handisome puppy-all hair and nobrmns." 'IT
Mr. lPrindhl was rather bald, and prided M'I
himuself on his brains; and immediately reete
atlil thLt nmeeting o.n Elm struet he began witl
to-d-th'pise Mr. Plum. the
Ila large town far away there livyd a tree
sweet little girl who honestly believed tile
that Mr. P'lum wn"a '.too good for this ver

he had vowed that he I',ved her. llut mel
they were poor, and tiley must wdlt. hi:
While'ht li ted Mr. l'lum hied a very eh- ! her
durable lift'.:tnd once a week he wrote to ei evv
his love. telling her how lonely he wa- tir
without heer. Mrs. M'llridle knew noth- ne.l
ing of the little girl, but hal sie known, ,mue
it would have made no difference in her, C
.laias. for she considered Mr. Plum much I wit
too young to fall in love with her. h'ie
This little war of the "weight in froM" lher
beigan in May. and during the following, we,
-eilnmer Mr. Plum's devotion to Widow the
M1'Iiride was tlhe gencral tople' of courtver- the
:ation. "'lid voun ever!" said the women. .-I
tergettin,, wl;at they hadl seen beftrce. wo
S"She's hooked himl" .eaid the men, with got
a knowing wink. 1
As tfor Mr. Prindle, he spent neerly all Lo
his e'vcning- at M1rs. C(rane's. smoking his .Mr
pipe by thle ide ofl Mr. Crane, aind freely int,
e.xpreslini his disaplprobation of Mrs. bhe
f'Bricd's behiavior. "-It is a sh:une! and bit
-he' that's cld enough to he' i.i mothler' It
i I her lonlley lie is after." ap
lie li.el said this se, ofrten that Mrs. Pr
Crane got tired of it at last; and as slhe
ha1.i nmath up her little luarrel with the I we
widtow.e. Ie' cdi termiinie to stand up for her Mr
friend.
' "An l why should it betfr her money?" an
sheI a keld. "She is gool e'nough lthr :any
mnan ; land :ia long as you don't want her dre
your-ell, why don't you let her alone?" we
"'Of course I don't want her," growled
the :farmer. bu
"Ohl. you needn't be afraid; she
wouldn't have you if you wanted her.
W'he e I 'old her what you said about it--'"
Then Farmer Pridleli got up, and stand
ing in the middle of the room, he forgot
his mother's teachings, and-uttered pro
f ei ltn huage' ! alter which he went away
without saying good-night, and did not re
turn forev'eral weeks. kni
"And he was as mad as mad can be !"
said Mrs. Crane to the widow, when sh "
related that little incident to her. w
"Men are so foolish," said Mrs. M'Bride,
complacently.
AeCldents will happen, and an accident
happened to Mr. Prindle: he was invited
to a tea-party. * it
"I won't go." he said to himself. "Yes.
I will, too. Why shoeldn't I? I ain't yt
afraine of her. if she does know. I meant
what I said. every word of it!" Ge
So Mr. Prindle adorned himself and
went. lie looked very well in 'his blaek w
I coat and clean shirt. but he did not know A
it. in the matter of good looks men are tr
either too vain or too modest, and Mr.
I'rindle was a to, moodest man. P
Widow M'Ilride was there in her pret- th
tiest "we'eds," heoking like a full-hlown
rose is a bedl of autumn flowers, for thi
Swas a mildle-aged tea-party, and she was at
time youngest woman in the room. She
I had made herself agreeable to the ladies, w
- as she always did; but when the gentle
Smen came in she felt relieved, and soon -
Sproiosed a walk in the garden. ki
tI The proposition was accepted, and, by
soome fatttcfli chance, Mr. Prindle found at
Shimself walking by the widow's side. At
Sfirst he felt rather sheepish. Although n
he had meant what he had said, "every
I. word of it," he could not help wishing he '
t had not said it. Was she angry ? he won
