It was a new life for the girlâ€"not too easy, as one may fancy ; but having passed through the ordeal of learning the stock with credit, and having made up her mind that Mrs. Tolboys‘ sour aspect, and Mr. Talboys‘ harsh voice were natural _attributes, and not called forth by a dislike to her â€"alas | she was a little wrong here, for the Talboys could smile when it was advantageous to them to do so, and she was a thorn in their sides=â€"shesct to herself to earning her wages honestly. . ) We Ee Ns 1 Mrs. Talboys did know. Dominie Rivers, as he called him, had done him a great service. Ignoring the gossip that was afloat regarding something the Talboys had been supposed to be leonne(etg,gl with, which did not redound to their cretmv as honest folk, taking them into the church and inviting them to visit him, he had been their great friend in Stickinthemud, and they understood so little of a noble natâ€" ure that they fancied he would revenge himself if they offended him by refusing. to take his advice. In reality he had merely believed them innocent people who were slandered, and had done his good work from truly Christian moâ€" tives. Mow, though the wallk was long, the weather hot, and his simple dinner waiting for him, he hurried to the widow‘s little cottage to give them the good news, and was well repaid by the tears of gratitude in Efic‘s eyes. "Domminie Rivers will poke his nose into evarything," said the husband. «We ought to get a girl for half." ‘‘And I‘d have told him we‘d choose our own clerks, it I‘d dared," said the wife ; "but you knowâ€"" _ When she had heard that the Talboys advertised for a clerk in their dry goods store and [were willing to take a woman, she felt that in might be a chance for her. Her sewing could _be done in the evenings, and they could be together still, and good Mr. Rivers had volunteered to recommend her; and, as you see, he had done £0, . and had, moreover, induced the Talâ€" boys to give her the wages they had given the young man who had just lefté them. However, the smile faded on Mr. ‘Balboy‘s lips and the simper from those of Mrs. Talboy‘s when Mr River was quite out of hearing. ph vided for the means of the two sorrl;w- sul women, and Effie had feared that, she would be obliged to leave her mother in order to support her. ‘ Effie Chauney had lost her not long before, and the neec she had managed to gset had n "Then I auncy to send he / said the minis| u_ so ‘much. .. e _ He shookâ€"nanasand departed.

Three days afterward Mr. Rivers entered the Ta‘boys‘s shop with his wife to buy muslin for some white cravats, Mrs, Talboys felt a little nervous,.

On Monday Effie presented herself at the store as usual.

He turned and walked with â€"her. Almostat the door of her own home they came face to face with Mr. Talâ€" boys, who had bsen to the butcher‘s to pay his weekly bill, and was returning with a pair of chlekens, dangling by their long, yellow legs from his right hand, and a paper of sausages in hisg left. â€" Effic felt that she was insulted, but none the less would her week‘s wages buy bread and meat. That day she met young Dearborn, quite accidentally on her part at least, on the way home. "Very well, for once I excuse It,"* said Mrs Talboys, "but remember it Your manner was very illâ€"bred." "I knew Mr. Deatborn as a littls boy," said Effle. ‘‘We often played together.
