CINDIBILLA.
Her real name was Lucinda. I doubt if
Jane Gay had ever read- the story of the
Little Glass Slipper; but if she had she
never would have thought of giving to her
one baby such a heathcnish, out-of-theway
appellation as Cinderella. The child was
named for her grandmother; a good, old-
fashioned substantial name that had been
in the Gay.family for generations. Not
that any one called her by it, unless, once
in a while, in some sudden stress of anger
or oii‘eded dignity. Sometimes it was Cinda,
but generally Cindy—a d this last name
the girl liked best of al . She teamed to
like another still better after a timeI-é-but
thereby hangs a tale.
You remember the gold-fever, the sudden
wild enthusiasm that swept over the whole
land like a tornado in 1848, and bore so
many adventurous young men to the Pacific
coast? Weli,Phillp Gay was one of the
first to go, and one of the first to die. He
never came back. His wife led a half-aud-
half sort of existence that was not life, for a
year or two ; and then followed him to the
unknown land that is at once so much
nearer and so much farther than California.
Very far, very remote it seemed to the little
Cindy. ~
But she was not left utterly desolate.
Aunt Tilly lived in Millthorpe; and after
thefuneral she took the child home with
her. After the cottage and the bit of land
were sold, and the debts were paid, it was
found that there was a trifle left—enough, if
well invested, to clothe the girl and to send
her to school for a year or two. So she
was not quite pennilc‘ss.
And there in Millthorpe we find her, on
the eve oi her eighteenth birthday. It has
been a long hot July ds'y ; but now the, sun
has gone down in a blaze of glory, and a
soil purple haze lieelow in the valleys.
The house, . which stands well back from
the village street, is thrown open that the
grateful cool of the evening may steal in at
window and. doorway. Mrs. Munro stands
in the wide entrance hall, with a troubled
face, and an open letter in her hand. Her
daughter, Elizabeth. a tall, dark-haired girl.

reading by the fast-waning light. Laura,
the younger, lies laiiguidly on the sofa, fan-

common household words. She never
tired of sitting, metaphorically sytnking, at
Winthrop Alden’s feet and being aught of
him. Art was the one thing as ibl, and
her very soul did reverence‘at the brine of

Laura played a difl‘erent game. She was
arch and saucy and coquettisli. ‘ he prais-

in annoying or wounding him her peni-
tence was most bewitching; and ith tears
in‘her sweet blue eyes, and a «in ver of her
childslike lips, she would plead lier ignor-
ance and inexperience, and beglliis portion
with dangerous humility. -.
One day she came running to him with a
pretty afl'ectntion ofIsimplicityIt

she went on, naively, droo'pin hIer eyelids
till the long lashes swept her c ee‘ks, “may-
be I could appreciate your walk better if I
should try my own hand at It, andlearn
some of its difliculties.” ‘
Mr. Alden laughed outright? It seemed

idea of her being able to, judge of his difli-

But the very simplicity of the equest was
so amusing, that he said:
“Very well. Miss Laura. It a bargain,
it in return, you will be my ids to all

“Oh. thank you !" she cried. (“I have

she looks a trifle worn and weary.
Just then Mrs. Munro came out with the
open letter in her hand.
“I don’t know what to do, Cindy," she
said. “I hate, to refuse, and it's such a {use
to have him c‘ome!
“Have who come, Aunt Tilly l"

’ have just got a letter from that Miss Alden,
who boarded here one summer. She wants
me to take her brother for a few months.
He's a painter, or something. ”
Cindy’s face sparkled all over. “He‘s
more than that,” she said. “ Miss Alden
told me about him. He’s a real artist.”
“What’s the difference i” asked Aunt
Tilly. “I'd be willing to have him come,
just to oblige his sister, but it will make so
much more work—and—"
“Never mind that, Aunt Tilly,“ interrupt-
od Cindy. “I don’t mindthe work, if you
think best to have him come.”
Brave little Cindy ! She never did “mind
the work ;” and the result was, she had it
all to do. Those who are willing to be
burden-bearers for others, have no difilculty
in finding the burdens. Not one of that
family meant to be unjust or ungencrous.
But Elizabeth was “literary" in a very
small way. She was iondl of her books,
fond of study. She wrote verses for the
county paper, and it was vaguely hinted
that she was engaged on something that
would some time, etc... etc. Of course her-
time was quite too precious to be wasted on
house-work.
Laura was a; fair, placid, indolent beauty.
She did not like to wash dishes, for it spoil-
ed'her hands. She did not like to sweep,
for it made her back ache. She did not
like to cook, for it reddened her face. As
for Mrs. Munro, she was one of those
women to whom. he she old, or be she
youngflhe grasshopper is a burden.
Money was not over plenty in the house;
and to take city boarders—just as an accom-
modation, you know—was considered a
respectable way to eke out a moderate in-
come. } was an easy way as well, when
there was 3 Cindy to the fore. Before
she went to bed that night Mrs. Munro had
written to Miss Alden that rooms should be
in readiness for her brother the last of that
week.
He came, this Winthrop Alden. a hand-
some, manly looking fellow, in spite of a re-
cent illness. Well born (and ‘well bred
with plenty of blue blood in his veins,
which was yet warmed and enriched by
the red of our common humanity—an
artist, as Cindy had said, but with so much
of ancestral wealth that he could ,afiord
time t'o'do good work. and to do" it"rwe‘ll—
It teas hard to be in the kitcheu,4doing the
rough work, while Elizabeth sat in the cool,
shaded parlor, leadingWinthrop Alden on
:to talk of its work and its aspirations,“
artist-life and its romantic associations—of
all, in short, that was dearest to Cindy's
soul. It was bonito be .shellingpoasfon
dinner, while Laura, in the "prettiest of
morning dresses, wandered over-the bills, or
sought out fairy nooks with her-drawing-
mastcr. ..
One day she was washing the dinner
dishes, trying vainly to recall the blytho
content of former days, and wondering
whither it had flown, when Mr. Alden pass
ed through the kitchen. Panning fora mo-
ment in the shadow of the trumpet honey-
suckle, with his hand upon the door-post
he looked down the fragrant: garden-paths
and then back into the room from which
the heat of various culinary operations had
not yet escaped. Cindy's checks were
flushed, her hair lay low upon her forehead
in little moist brown rings, her hands trem-
bled, and she looked thoroughly uncomfort-
able.
“ It is very warm to-day, Miss Cinderella,"
he said. Even genius can-utter common-
pla'ccs.
' " Cinderella!" she cried, opening her
brown eyes at him, as she nearly dropped a
tumbler. “ What a funny ideal That's
not my name, Mr. Alden."
“ It is not i I beg your pardon. But they.
call you Cindy—Cindy—do they not? I
supposed it was for Cinderella."
- “It is not. It is for Lucinda—just plain
Lucinda, Mr. Alden.”
“ Lucnida—Cinderella"——he repeated, mus-
ingly, while his eye roamed around the
room, taking quick note of everything,from
the pots and kettles on the hearth to the
saucer 'of pennies on the window-sill, to the
young girl’s tired face. “ A strange blun-
der of mine. But I really supposed it was
Cinderella." '
light broke over his face, and a smile played
about his mouth.
“ Cin-de-rel-la,"-—he said again, lingering
on the word. “We are not going to the
prince’s ball, Miss Cindy, but we are going
up the hill to the pine woods. Those cool.
green silences will be delightful such a day
as this. Won’t you go'with us i”

and a heart to feel whatever was best worth
seeing, and hearing, and feeling, .was it :any
wonder that he was sweet-tempered and
charming, and that he brought into the
quiet house a glow brighter gthan that of
the summer sunshine! ,
It does not seem strange to me that, in
%.than a week, there was a fluttering in
it dove-cote. Every one of these girls
had-her own ambitions; even Cindy, who
had Mfflfld’fl yet. Elizabeth» was only
seuiiblé of Evans longing for "something
better than she had known" in Millthorpe
-—for a higher culture and a lofticr living.
Laura was beautiful, and she knew it, and
meant to make the most of it. Beautiful
with more physical beauty-Abe beauty of
roundness and coloring, of. pink-and-whitc
flesh, blue eyes and golden ”hair. She was
not going to marrya Millthorpe clad-hop-
per-edo her own work, tend her own
babies, have two calico gowns a year—and,
may be, a new silk once in five—not she!
She was waiting for the prince to come and
array her in satins, and laces, and jewels.
But she was not suck a fool as to say this
even in whispers; and to all appearance
she was sweet simplicity itself, guileless and
unsophisticated as a child. ' -
What was Cindy’s ambition i It had
taken no tangible form as yet. But God
had given this girl, who had nevor. seen
more than two or three really fine pictures
in her life, whose knowledge of themirscles
of art was confined to a few engravings and
.photOgi-aphs, an instinctive love of form
and color, and a burning eagerness to re-
prodlicethem. The creativeinsiinct was
f. {gins within her. She drew, as the bird

She had not realized, herself, until this sum-
mer, how ditierent a life was hers from that
led by her cousins. .
The young man touched his hat and
walked away. But as soon as he was out
of sight, Cindy dropped her dish-towel and
flew up stairs in a passion of Cars. Cin-_-.
derella, indeed! She saw it all now. Yet
there was no cross step-mother; there win
no cruel sisters. Her aunt and sisters were:
simply thoughtless, and, maybe—she did:
not like to say it—selfish. That was all.’
But, alas! there was no fairy godmother
either. -
She wiped her eyes and came down stairs
again. The water was cold and thefire had
gone out. So much,for quarreling with
fate. she thought. It was better to go quiet-
ly on and not fall into spasms. But she
had made up her mind during that seeming-
ly wasted hour. She. would be her own'
godmother. She would make no disturb-

thing in the doing Of which» the best of her-
self might find expression. ‘ ' ,
But if she could only share the‘lessons
about which Laura made such an add—and
about which, it must he confessed, Cindy
felt no little curiosity. Laura kept her port-
folio under lock and key. Cindy remem-
bered that when they were in school she
could hardly draw a map ofthe simplest
figure in geometry. Was she developing a
new talent—one that she had hitherto hid-
den under a napkin? Had her beautiful
cousin found a soul at last i For more than
once she heard Mr. Alden praisihg her
work, and telling her how far it surpassed
his expectations; while Laura listened with
shy. downcast eyes, and the softest, sweet-
est flush deepened on her white rose check.

“But you are in the room sometimes

Cindy, with a question in her voice.
“Oh, Mr. Alden does not teach like a

makes suggestions, She won’t draw 'so

flushed. She turned;,j,towsr_ds the door.

He hesitated, glanced at her. curiously;

“Did you liitIthis l" he asked. “ Did you

“ Oh, no, no i” she cried, coloring. “ How
can you ask it, Mr. Alden? Indeed, I have
looked at nothing that you did not leave in

His own face flushed. _

It was a quaint old kitchen; dim, shad-.

TIRED HOMO.
A little elbow leans upon your knee.
Your tired knee that has so much to bear ;
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thatch of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
Of warm, moist fingers holding yours In
light ; -
You do not prise this blessing overmnch:
You. almost are too tired to pray to-night.
But it is blessedness! A year ago
I did not see it as I do to-day—
We are all so dull and thankle‘ssnnd too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away.
And now it seems surpassing strange to me
That, while i wore the badge of mother-
hood,
I did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only 300d.
And if, some night, when you sit down to
rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee
This restless, curling head from ofl' your
breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters con-
stantly;
11' from your own the dimpled bands had
slipped,
And ne’er would nestlé in your palm
min; I
If the white feet into their grav‘e had tripped,
I could not blame you for your heart-ache
then.
I wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown;
Or that the foot-prints, when the days are
wet, '
Are ever black enough to make ' them
frown.
If I could find a little muddy boot,
Or cap or jacket on my chamber floor;
if could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter in my home once more :
If I could mend a broken cart today,
To-morrow make a kite to reach the sky—
There is no woman in God’s world could say
She was more blissfully content than I
But. ah! the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head;
My singing birdling from its nest has flown ;
The little boyI used to kiss is dead!

A song for the baby, sweet little Bo—peep;
Come, wee Willie Winkie, and sing her to
sleep.
Come, toss her high up, and trot her low
down;
This is the road to Brinklepeeptown.
Come, press down her eyelids, and sing in
her ear
The wonderful songs that in Dreamland we
hear:
The chime of the waters, the drone of the
bees.
The tales that the blossoms are telling the
breene. .
For. spite other crowing and cooing, I see
The baby is sleepy as sleepy can be.

Now whist ! Willie Winkie, she’s gone fast

returning home one night, said to his noble
wlfc :—
“ My dear, I am ruined; everything we
have is in the hands of the Sherifi i”
After a few moments of silence, the wife
looked into his face and said :— '
“ Will the Sheriff sell you i”
“ Oh, no.”
“ Will the Sherifl' sell me I"
it Oh, no."
“ Will the Sheriff sell the children i"
" Oh, no.”
. ‘f Then do not say we have lost everything.
All that is most valuable remains to. us—
manhood, womanhood, childhood. We have
lost but the results of our skill and industry.
