My Lady's Satchel.

By T.R

•Oau'fc posbiblj stay to talk to you thia morning ' exclaimed my Lady cis She hastened pant me bre-tthl-saly,* there's au amaaiog letter from Auut Tib in my Satchel, which you must read. Good-byp. Qan't gay wh^n I'll be back, perhaps not till affe«- the Royal visit/ I consoled myself with Aanty's letter, which ran ' My dpar Girl—Oome to me aa soon »a yoaean conveniently I know you ij»v© a partiality for your Ancient Acmty Croeketi a;od all. Indeed, my Bear f I am not only orochety this morß- Inijßf, but positively quavering. You know how byal and patriotic lam* well, you tnay guese that 1 .aim more than anxious to ts^e tbe heirs to our Throne, descendants of oar late beloved sind lamented Qa" en, (best of women and greatest o* sovereigns ! if her wiae counsels had been followed, I believe we should not have been saddled with m dreadful Boer war, and the price ot groceries would not have gone up, as well as the price of mutton, which waa quite bard enough for ioipecunioas housekeepers) Well, Child! Where have I got too ? Oh ! yes I was speak ing about ray intense desire to see any one related to our d»ar, departed Monarch, and I really do not see how lamto do it. In She first place our patriotic citizens are all squabbling over the route the procession ia to take, (haviog, it may be surmised, prospecti of letting windows at a good figure, to Bight 868^) then, when the route is settied, how am I to get a good pod don! I am not a young woman, though by no means an old one. I was only 71 last birthday, but I am not equal to standing for hours on a door ■tep Until the Royal carriage drivw past, only to be Jostled off it, by iome ( larrikin * just at the moment, T have obtained a glimpse,—and my pocket is not equal to paying two or thrae guineas for a peep at the top of the hats —no matter how elegant they maybe of the Duke and Duchess. No, I suppose I may resign myself to remaining at home, and lamenting thai my poor, de&r respected lather ever ventured his sinal! savings in *ny •' Society " with a default ing manager. Mr dear child, you know 1 am not mercenary, and yon know that I abhor a marriage without love. If I had not; if I had been willing to marrf for money. I would not be sitting here, la «hi« plain little room, tioabls to'be extravagant, even to weloome a prince and princess, beloved for their grandmothers sake S Bat* thotjgh love raQHt some first, and have first place, moriq/, seal eolid money—none of your fiimtiy fiharte and expectations from onclev and aauties who will certainly live nntil they are 100, —ought to have a second place I dispiße a yoatJß man, who is anxious to marry th« girl of his choice, who is a'so qnita nlwafied to a*k her to eh are a/our roomed rented house and two hntidred a y-:*r ! Now, dont ta'k to me ! I know what you will say aboat po many being wonderfully happy on a hundred a y.*.arin a two roamed cottage wi h a ntrtry* well educated family of fifteen ! I i know batter, I have saen love in a cot* tafje very snag and comfortable, when the woman w»s a Sami-jn of strength, and had thepadecce of Job, aad the ewaefcest of an angel, and whom the man was a Chevalier B^yarH— bufc yon don'fc meet each a p >ir often. lam old enough to have sen live fly But of a good many windows because povwrv c m■* in at the doors. Any man, worth cal'ing $uch, knows that he masfc prov de the house he ake h'» wife to keep. His ambition should be to have one of his own suffi ciently furni.hfd before ha enters the holy bonds. What an amount of after anxiaty he would prevent, whu addnri pleasure there is in the new estate Whe>n preparation ha* been mi.de for iN No Heusiole young worn nehooM con°ent to he married until her intended husband makon this foundation for their fature happiness of cjurne, it all dep nd* upon their rank in life as to what U euffirent incorao to keep anxiaty from thsir door,- hnb tv beyin with i? ever no small, tkeir h^use ebotild ba ihefr own. Aud no dependence for future maintain*nee ehouid be placed upon wha& 'he wife can do B Jieve me, that is one of the drawbacks of our young - women, going into tra es and professions, b'hay create the feeling in young men's minds thab they—the girls— can keep themselves and they will bs quite willing to let them try. And Oh! my dear child, tha misery it brings into tbe home. Have you ever observed sne where the wife 1h out all day helping to mippori (he famil?/1 As if hit share of matrimonial ;esponsib« | Ility were nofc—even in ihe most favour* \ able clrcumaatanoes—heavy enough without being added to in thia unreasonable manner. No a really comfortable match begins with the foresight and provision of the man.' He earnes and the bright woman saves He brings the material together she wean. Bub If a sma has'nt een&e and capacity enough to earn three hundred a yea , and hive a eica little six roamed faou ,c mdrnd garden made In readi ness !it its "keeper, and his he has no right to ask a girl—of your pneition— ' ■ay, to marry him. Well well, I have ran oa. come in soon, and 1 might retrench In something and gee a window if you are ix> be with me. And if you know any any gentleman who would be useful on the occasion, I can't bear a crowd wi h oat a man, You can write him on my behalf, to accompany m> —I am your loving Aunt Tib,
