The Hack eyes of Mra. Peudcr gross, shot file. 'Well, she did say it, and a littl more,' Very quiet and insinuating w:ia the voice that said this. It came from a little wo man, who looked almost too insignificant for a mischief maker. 'That my Hotty was as uglv as sin? 'Her" very word.' 'What else did she say, Mies Perkins?' Wby she said that she eoiild make a letter face out of dough.' Mw. l'endergrgsa dropped the work she lield in her hand. Her face grew red aa avarle'- This was the crowning indignity. 1 A better lUce out of douhl' No wonder Mrs. Pendergrass was 'stirred up.' to use ber own worJa', 'from the very bottom.' 'Very well.

A better I'm out r.f dnughl Give me patieuce! If ut never win 1 I'll bare it out with her; see if I don't!' Kuthy Ann likes to tall, remarked Mi Perkins, miking an effort to. soothe the fee'ing she had spurred into excitement. Ihe's a littlo glib with her tongue, yon Inow, aud ig always trying to gay smart things. I heard her iM them very same words about Phoebe Jenkins, not six weeks j.one by. I'hoobs is dreadful homely, yog koow, and has no mora expression in her fiiee thun a turnip. I waa excessively m isrtd, and have laughed oyer it a doien t oim sinfta. I think she was only talking for talk'i sake, when she referred to Ilea-ter.' : " ' - . ! ' 'I don't care what alio was talking for, J replied Mrs. PnJrrass klurly. i;ut I oiiii toll Uur this muult, alius got to her glib tongue o.Tof me and mine. Hea ter is as irood looking as auy of her brata. Wait till I aee her!' , Mins J'erkios tried t) lay the storm she had raifed; but 4Mrs. Peudergrnss. win-touched iu a very tender spot. She had reoived a wound which no words of thi uifchief making gossip could heal. Whei. ber husband came home at dinner time she told him, with much feeling, abo.i t what Mrs; Johnson had said. Mr Ponder, grass, whose temperament was as difltrctit from that of hi wile aa December is from June, treated the matter-very iuditiereut. "I never considered our Hester much of a beauty,' ha said. 'But she's a good girl, which is the best of all. As to her being ugly as sin, that is a mero extrava' gance I expression sometime indulged in by thoughtless peopln, guth as Mrs Johnson. It amounts to nothing, and I WJiild Ut it psss as the idle w ml.' 'Indeed! and I '11 not let it pass then f..i j. i . . nouooY nni a ri,ni to lalK so atii ut my lleMer. J shall tell Kuthy Ann Jul nsin a piece of my mind.' 'You'd belter not, Maria. No good will come of it. You'll only make an euemy of her,' said Mr JVo trrgrasa. I don't care!' The black eye of Mrs Pcndergrass burneJ like eosla of fire. I'd rather hare such a woman for my eiiemy than my friend.' 'Never make an enemy, even of a !oj. Maria. It is'nt good policy. Eueuiie, are always diin.-erou.' Bi t there was no use in talking to Marin Peulergr.is. Pasaiou luJ usurped the thri.ne of reason. About four o'clock in tbd afternoon, Mrs Pendergrans sturfed for the In me of her offending neighbor, a woman of equal spirit with herself. Not tlu slightest lore-warning h id Mrs. Johnsons of the intnnd-ed visit. Khe was sitting with her basket! in a chair by her side, engaged in the important work of darning stockings, when Mrs. IVnderrass came in; w th a bunding, impressive air, and a face of uo very mild aspect. 'Good afor nooa, Mrs. Penderqrass', said Mr. Johnson, pleasantly, rising as she spoke; 'I am gJad to see you.' 'No you aim!' was the unexpected answer to this cheerful sa'utation. 'What is the matter? What do you mean?' said Mrs. Johnson, stepping bi'ek a , a:eor two,whiie l.cr faculcci u cassca . let. 'Just what I say,' was replied. You aint glad to see mo, you mean hypocrite.' j Mrs. Punderrat-s, at the very outset. went quite beyond herself. She had thought over all the wor.'s she would gay. and they were to be calmly spoken, but with a cutting edi upon them. Put on meeting tho neighbor who had so deeply offended, memory and sclf-posscsxion fled, and instead of asking as tin intended do. ing. whether Mrs. Johnson had spoken thus and go about her daughter Hester, she weakly and foolishly replied wiih in sult to a kind welcome. 'Let me be what I am. no lady would use suoh - laniiitge ' Th the house of a neighbor,' said Mrs Johnson. 'You are no lady! You you hypocrite!' Mrs. IVudergrass was blinded with passion. Mrs. Johnson was a lurg, .strong wo man, wa ,le Mrs. Penderjrrasg was of rather diminutive statue. Outraged bv th s sudden, and for all she could see, wholly uuprovokel assiult, the former advanced suddenly upou her violent neighbor, and grasped her firmly by one of her arms, led her to the front door, and thrusting hct ito the yard, said, aa she ut elapsed her vice-like hand 'Don't let me gee you again until you know how to behave yourself like a decent woman. An 1 the door ws shut in Ler face. Maria Pendergrasa was bewildered, con. fou'ided, an I doubly outraged by this vio lent assault upon her person; exceeding, a; it di t, a thotm i I KM in her estimation, the wron,' already infliettid tbiougb i he person of her daughter! There wag scarcely any wicxed thing ah would not hare lelt inclined to do, by way of retaliiu tion, m the apur of the moment, had the opportunity been presented. One tempt- ation wjs to throw stones and break' her osighbor'g windows: Another was to kill a pot lamb thut happened to be lying on the grass ph, $ before tbb door; and anoth. er was to tramplo on a flowerbed in which some choice and valued plants were juat beginning to nnfold their tender leaves in the genial sunshine. But she refrained; nut in consequence or (X-ponderance of right sentiments, but because such acta would too feebly express her great indignation. The fiercer th tempest, the sooner it ia over. Violent naaaions anicklv exhaust chemselves. By tho time Mra. Ponder- ,4ml thisg'ie regarded as an unmistakable gfass read cd heme, the l) eini n ekr of'evidii.:e that Mrsi Pemlcr-nas., lI 8a a . hr feelings had lost many dc.rcg. Tl.e juDa was far LeW foer ,' . I We cauuotsay that she fell particularly well satitfied with her orn perform n- cos in the rather serious comedy at Mrs. J Vinson's, which had reached go sudden a termination. She had sludioJ her part thoroughly, but on the stage ' forgot even the opening passages, aud blundered most terribly. InsV ad of helping matters any she had made them ten times worse, by presenting her.ielf as an asvailaut, instead i f one demanding explanation and redress. I'm glad I didn't break her windows. nor kill her pet lamb, nor tramplo on her flower bed!" Mra Pendergrngg said this to I crscif. quite soberly, as shesat alone in her room. leBs than half aij hour after that fruitletg 'nJignation visit. 'Now h;iveu't I gone and made a fool of myself?.' aha added, with a depressing sense of what she had and done which present-. I itself with mortifying distinct-ness. 'What must Ruthy Am Johnson thV of me? She'll tell 1 er husband, of course, and he's a fiery, hot headod little whiffet, and will be after Pendergrass far explanations I'm mad at myself. Why didn't I talk to her rirbt? I had it all laid out; every word was in its place. I'm a fool! Maria Peni'cfg a;., you are a fool! There!' Very meekly did Mar'a 1 e idergras? bear this self-denunciation; though had anybody else dared to express a similar estimate of her character, she would have given a very dt&ereut exhibition of her iiality.-'I wish Miss rer'jinslalstayedat home. and winded her own busiucsB!' Ah! th' is the reward your pattling m:schief maker usually receives in the end even from those who with ever oj en ears, invite the tale of evil. I've hoard it said tht.t she will ftretih the truth, and it's ns likely as not alio has done so in this case. V'hnt if Mrs. John-son has never said anything of the kind? Or. what if Misa Perkins 4iiiea having told me?' These were sober conrderations. 'I've put my foot into it, ami no mistake!' Rather a coase compu-ipo i, Mrs. Pendergrass, but forcible and true. Po iple who make indignation visits generally do that thing. Your experience is quite up to the average of such experiences. Mr. rendergra8 could not summon sufficient courage to speak with her bus baud about the exciting events which had ,,( cur red. PI e meant to do so, in order to prepare his mind for an indignation visit from Mr. Johnson, wbiih was very certain would le made before the evening closed. Momentarily, from the time he came h(;tne at sundown, nntil ten o'clock relieved ber of her nuxious suspense, was she in expectation of this visit from John- Tho next morning found Mrs. Pender grass in rather a sober state. She cniild not look bapk on the events of the precel in? day with any feeling of self approval Her beheavi-T at Mrs. Johnson was certainly of an extraord;nary character, as was also the treatment she hid received. Every passing hour she looked for some m -ssage from Mrs. Joltnsont or for the visit of a friemlly neighbor to inqu're about the strange sir'esthat were bun'ii thro' ihe vill iire. Hut the entire morning passed without her eee'nga liviuj soul except her own family. As for Mri. Ru'hv Ann Johnson, the g ibiideiico ot her disturbe i teclings wag almost as sudden as the excitment, which h io extinguished in a moment, every fruc-t'on of t.'l'-eontrol. When she gr.isjied tho arm of M,-s. Pendergrass and pushed her violently fr iin the honse, she was angry bsyo.i 1 maa.oire. Wiien she turned back fr mi the shut door, and sat down hy tho basket of stockings, from which sho had started away on be'ng so roughly assailed by her lie ghl-or, the n h'rUii.d of p:ision was over, an I bowing her head upon her beads, the wept, violently. 1 1t provocation she had received was very great, bat lm did nut look buck upon it iu any spirit of self jiisiificiMon. The afternoon wore away, aud evenlu.' bmugirt the return of Mm. - Johns. m's husband- the isl.ed to talk with him abo it the unpleasant affair, but he war an exe'tulle and nut vary wise little man; an 1 she feared to trust him with liar vr- 1 on of the story, lest he should do some thing that would-only make matters worse So she had to bear tha burden of bar no. pleasant thoughts ulon, ' Like Mrs. Pendergrass, she passed most of tha day in a eon di tion of uahappy suspense; every moment expecting soma an tioying message, or visii in company with intores.ed friends, from tha neighbor be handlod so roughly. STie did not go out to gee any one, for she really telt ashamed to look a neighbor in tha eyes, after she had disgrtead herself by such unwomanly e3 Iuot. No one came nenr her a day, all over tho villd-c, giviug Ler version o"' P the tiry. : , I The third djy brought no el an ;e in thai aspectof thing", and no epeoiul eomfort to either of the unhappy la lies. ISoth felt dirigracaxl in the eyes if 'heir neigh bors, and each was angry with tha other for having provoked ber to uuseemly an ger. In the meantime, Miss Perk I . g was gll liigin and out among the various fam-i .is in the village, smooth of ton.mo, insinuation, yet all seeing and all-hearing. On the fourth da.', Mrs. Johnson cama in turn. She received her usual welcome but soon ?w that her friend every lady iu town was her 'friend seemed ill at ease, and was under considerable restraint.' Every moment Mr. Johnson expected to hear gome questiou or remark on the subject of her late trmble with Mrs. Pender-grasf. But not the slightest allu'iun was made thereto. This wag strange; Mrs. J. could not understand it. What had Mrs Pendergrass said ? Something very dis creditable, or "lso Miss Perk'ns would not be so silent on tho subject a silence evi dently meant to save her fjclings. At last, unablo to endure the suspense anv longer. Mrs. Johdson determined to-npin the way for Miss 1 erkin by say'i; When did you see Maria Pendergrass?' 'Well, let me thi k.' Miss PerVins spoke almost indifferently. I; in now threo or four days, I believe, since I was there Yes, now I renieinbej. 'It s just four d.-.ys I saw her on Tuesday.' 1 hat was the memorable day! 'In tho morning or afternoon?' asked Mrs Johnson. 'It was In the mon ing. Why do yon ask?' And Miss Perkins looked curious'y at her friend. "Mrs JohiiM.n's eyes drorped to the floor 'Y'ou haven't seen h r since?' f Mrs Ji lmsou looked up with a more con-fiJu'it mnnneft 'Not since;norlnve I heard of her being out anywhere, whk-h is a I'ttle curious, nof I ouiiio to think of it, for she goes about a great deal, you know. As M.a Jenkins says of her: Sh'sulwnys on tho run. Maybe sho'a sick?' remarked Mrs John-sun.'I shouldn't wonder; for I don't know of anything but gickaess that would keep her three days in the house. By the way,' added Miss Perkins, smiling, 'don't you remember that funny speech you made about her Hester once?'-'No; what was it?' 'I've laughed about it a hundred times since; it was so ludicrous, and yet go true. Hester, you know, :a as homely aa mud 'She is not hao'lsom, certainly.' replied Mrs Johnson. 'But she's good; an I that's worth far more than beauty.' 'Just wh it you said afterward, to tuk e the edge off of your funny rpeech.' 'What was the speeult? I have entirely forgotten it.' 'You said that you could make a better face out of dough, IU ! Ha !' 'It was thoughtless aud unkind, ana by no means expressed my true fee'ing tow.i'ds the child. Ludicrous ideug often present themselves to my mind, and I have the bad habit of clothing them iu language at tiin-swhcn it wre better to be silent.' Somebody who heard yon say this, was kind enou;h to tell Mra. Pendergrass. 'Oh. no!' Mrs. Jtfhutiuu looked surprised and grieved. ' 'It's true, aud she ia very angry about it. 'I dou't wonder,' said Mra. Johnson. 'It was thoitghtlesg in me to make the remark, but wicked iu the oue who repeated it.'
