There's an advertisement I want to save," Anna exclaimed, as she saw her brother tearing a strip from the _Herald_ with which to light his cigar, but as she spoke, the flame curled around the narrow strip, and Dr.Richards had lighted his cigar with the name and address appended to the advertisement which had so interested Anna.
How disturbed she was when she found that nought was left save the simple wants of the young girl.
"Let's see," and taking the mutilated sheet, Dr.Richards read the "Wanted, by a young unfortunate married woman." "That unfortunate may mean a great deal more than you imagine," he said.
"Yes, but she distinctly says married.

Don't you see, and I had really some idea of writing to her." "I'm sorry I was so careless, but there are a thousand unfortunate women who would gladly be your maid, little sister.

I'll send you out a score, if you say so," and John laughed.
"Has anything of importance occurred in this slow old town ?" he inquired, after Anna had become reconciled to her loss.

"Are the people as odd as usual ?" "Yes, more so," Miss Eudora thought, "and more presuming," whereupon she rehearsed the annoyances to which they had been subjected from their changed circumstances, dwelling at length upon Mrs.Roe's tea drinking, and the insult offered by inviting them, when she knew there would be no one present with whom they associated.
"You forget Mrs.Johnson," interposed Anna.

"We would be glad to know her better than we do, she is so refined and cultivated in all her tastes, while Alice is the sweetest girl I ever knew.
