Hut Mrs. Putney did not concur with That conscious silence, the opinion. those crimsoning blushes, that uneasily averted face to her seemed scarcely emblematic of innocence. Mrs. Piitmy, too, was characteristically precipitate in her conclusions: she was not slow to credit evil of another; and that the girl toward whom sin had been a benefactress would at last be revealed as a deceptive ingrate seemed to her to he neither improbable nor preposterous! And beside, she had an uneonfessed apprehension of having been rather niggardly in small matters toward the girl -- she had been chary of all little gifts for comfort and ornament toward Terise anil toward her own young sister no less!

A well known citizen was summoned fo serve as a juryman, but he forgot to make his appearance. After remaining out until nearly three oclock at morn ing, he entered his home. His wife asked him why he had not come home. In that peculiar voice usually taken home on such occasions, a voice of whose tones words fail to furnish a suggestion, he replied: Hung jury.
