to relinquish that title lor the less euphoni

hoped she would not. We might have
been so comtortahle, poor Fatty and I.

working at and blushing over, we won't say
how many years ago. Well, women are
better innmrd they say; but I think I would
rather have had Martha an old maid.
My second sister, Angeline, was fifteen
when I left England ; aud the very loveliest
creatine I ever I eheld. Everybody knew it.
everybody acknowledged it. She could
not walk down the .street without people
turning to look ufterher; she could not
enter a room without creating a general
whisper: "Who is she J", The same 1 1 1 i U

All the world was nt her ferr ; every one
said she would make a splendid marriage,
become acountesa at least; and I do believe
Augelinu herself had the fullest confidence
ill that probability. Shu refused lovers bv
the liuzer. ; every letter I got told moid
some new slaughter of Mis AngcUucV.
Hut like miift cruel damsels, she paid the
penalty ol ber hard hi-nrtcdness ; when 1
came home I found Augelinu Ileathcote,

herself became tenacious on the subject of

Alas for tne ! In ono week I had no less j

Angeline' decision was rather dilatory, i
they were all such excellent matches; and,
poor girl, with her beauty for her chief gift,
and with all the tinsel adoration it brought
her. she had never been used to think of
irurrintte ns anything more than a mere '
worldly nrrangi-iiietit. She was ready to

"(), yes ; nnd I like Sir How land extremely

though he has been fond of me so long, poor
fellow! Hut he will get over it ull men
do."
The Welsh ennse triumphed. Mr. Archer
quitted the field. He bail been an old ac
quaintance ; but what was tout to Sir Hnvv-
and nnd 10.01)0 a year ?
After Angeline' affair waa settled, there
came a lull in the family epidemic, possibly
i-erauso the head of the family grew savage
as a bear, nnd for a full month his spirit
hugged itseli into fierce misanthropy, or
rather misogvnv, rontt;niniiig the whole fe
male sex. especially such as contemplated in
the unholy slate of matrimony.'
fui wonder 1 could not bud peace in my
own house; Iliad not my own sisters' so
ciety ; not a single family fireside evening
could I got from week's end to week's end ;
not a room could I enter without lireakintr
in on some tete u tete ; not a corner could I
creep into without stumbling upon a pair of
lovers. I fled Hie firi'siilc ; I took relitge in
mv study. Woe betide tho next lover who
should assail me there ! ' '
It occurred to me that in the intcrvnl of
the weddings I w ould send for an old friend,
a bachelor like myself, nn honest, manly
fellow, who worked hard from circuit, nnd
got barely one brief a year. Yes, Will
Launccstoii would keep me company ; and

' i had just written to him, when my sister
Martha came in wilha very serious face. nnd
told me she "wished for a little conversation
with me."
Ominous beginning ! Hut she was not n

concerning any more of my sitters. At least,
so I congratulated myself slas, too soon I
My sister settled herself by the lire w ith a
serious countenance,

"My dear Martha."
"I wish to consult you on a matter which
has recently come to tiiy knowledge, and has
given me much puin, aud some anxiety."
"Indeed," und I am afraid my tone was
less sympathizing than eager, since, from

I hoped the matter in question indicated the
secession of Mr. Green. "Go on.' Is t

Perhaps this Bpcech hurt Martha, nnd yet
i it need not. i She and I both knew und re-
siness about Cons tnntia. The girl had long
' played contiibint to Mr. Archer in the matter
'i Angeline, and, as olten happens, the coo-
lidunt hud unwittingly taken too great
interest tn one of her rincipnls, until she
found herself envying ihu lot of the other.
When Mr. Archer's dismissal finally bruku
off alMntcrcourse with our family, there was
'"m of my sisters who missed him wearily,
crueny, aim nine was not Angeline
I was touched. Now. no doubt Constun-
tia had been very foolish. Little doubt,
likew ise, that the feeling would wear itself
out, or fade slowly away in the stern truths;
but tit present it was a most siucuie passion,
sad and sore.
Martha ar.d I held counsel together and
acted on the result. We took Constantia
under our especial charge; we gave her
books to read, visits to pay, work to do ;
keeping her much as possible with one or
other of us, aud out of the way of the child
ish flirtation of Cuihbert und Charlotte, or
the formal philandering of Sir Row land and
tho future Lady Grillith Jones. Ami if.
sometimes, as Lizzie told me my little
Lizzie, who laughed at love nnd lovers with
the lightness of sixteen Constantia grew
impatient with Lotty'a careless trifling, autl
curled her lip scornfully w hen Angeline pa
ladid the splendors of her troutteau, we
tried to lead the girl's mind out of herself
'd out tit dreamland altogether, as much
as possible.

She nas our sole shaterof tho secret ; and
I I must say, though she laughed ut her now
and then, Lizzie was extremely
loving and

patient with Constantia. After
lelt tho two girls wholly to onu another,
more especially as my time was now taken
up with my new trieiid Lauuceston.
O the comfort! a real honest man who
hud some sterling aim und object in life
some steady work to do some earnest in
terest in the uc'vaiice of the world, the duties
aim pursuits ol his broiner men ; w ho w as
neither handsome, witty, nor accomplished ;
w ho rarely shone in ladies' sa:iety ; in fact,
ral her eschewed it than otherw ise. For, he
said, nature had unfitted him to act the part
of a mere admirer, und adverse fortune for
bade him to apiear in the character of a
lover; so he kept aloof, keeping his own
company and that of one or two old friends
like myself.
I was fond of Lnnneesto!! ; I wished my
family to like him too; but they were ull too
busy about their own affairs. Evening niter
evening, could not get any of my sisters to
make tea for ns, or give us a little music
ufterwards, except the pale, dull looking
Constantia, or my bonny rose of June, little
Lizie. At lust, we four settled into a smull
daily company, und went out together, read
together, talked together continually. I
kept these two younger ones as much as
possible in our uuromatiticraetieul society,
that not only my mind, but Liiuncestou's in
its thorough cheerfulness and healthiness of
tone, might unconsciously have a good influ
ence upon Constantia.
The girl's spirit slowly began to host.
She sot aside her dreaming, and took w ith her
nil tho energy ol her nature to active work
womeu's work charity, school-teaching,
villagu-visiting, und the like. She put u
little tco much "romance" into all she did
still ; but there was life in it. truth, sincerity.
'"Mis Constance will make an admirable
lady-of-hll-work," said Luunccston in his
quaint way, watching her with his kindly
and observant eyes. "The world wuuts such.
She will tind enough to do."
And so she did enough to steal her too
from my sidu, almost as much as the three
fiimeftn. The circle in my study dwindled
gradually dowu to LUzic, Launceeston, and
me.
We were excelleut company still, we three.
I had rarely had so much of my pet sister's
society; I bad never fou ad it so pleasant.
True, she was shyer than Usuul, probably
from being with us two, older aud wiser
people men likewise but she listened to
our wisdom so sweetly she bore with our
dry, long-worded learning so patiently that
my study never seemed itself unless I had
the little girl stated at my feet, or sewing
quietly in the window corner. And then
she was completely "a little girl ;'V bail uo

worse, marriage uotions, crossing her iumi

fools men are.
I was just about to suggest the possibility
of naming one, say two, wise individuals
among our sex, when in stole a white fuiry
tny pretty Lizzie in her bridesmaid's dress.
Her presence changed the current of conver
sation ; until from some remark she made
about a message Angeline had left as to the
proper way of inserting her marriage in the
Times newspaper to morrow, our talk imper
ceptibly fell back into '.be old channel.
"I. like you, Lstinceston, hate the whole
system of love and marrying. It is one great
sham. Beginning when Miss,, at school,
Icarus that it is the apes of feminine honor
to be a bride tho lowest depth of feminine
humiliation to be an old maid. Continuing :
when she, a young lady at home, counts her
numerous offers ;' taking pride in wbnt
ought to bo to her a source either of regret
or humiliation. Ending when, timeslipping
by, she drops into the usual belief that no
body ever marries her first love; so takes the
best match she can find, and makes marriage,
which is merely tho visible crown and com
pleliou of love, the pitiful, dishonored sub
stitute for it. I declare solemnly that I have,
seen many a wife w hom I held tu be scarcely
better than no wife at ull.
I hud forgotten my little sister's presence)'
but she did not seem to hear me nor Laun
ccstoii, either, for that matter. His earnest
ness had softened down ; he sut, very
thoughtful, over against tho window, where)
Lizzie had taken her sewing. What a pret
ty picture she made.
"Come here, my little girl," I said ; "I
should not like thee logo thu way of the
world ; and yet I should bo satisfied to give
thee away some day qm'etly, in a muslin
gown and straw bonnet, to some honest man,
who loved thee and was loved so well, that
Lizzio would never dream of inarryiug any
other, but would have been quite content, if
tieetl be, tn live an old maid for his sake to
the end of her dave. Thut'B what I call lovo
eh, my giil?"
Lizzie dropped her head, blushing deeply,
Of course, girls uhvays do.
Launceston snid. in a tone so low that I
quite started, "Then you do believe in true
love, alter all."
"It would be ill for mc, or for auy human
being, if I do not. Anil I believe in it tho
more earnestly because of its numberless
counterfeits. Nay, as since iu the false creed
there -lurks, I hope, a modicum of absolute
truth, I would fain trust that in the poorest
travesty or masquerade of love, one might
lind a fragment uf the sterling couitnodi.'y,.
Still, my Lizzio dear, when all our brides are
gone, let us congratulate ourselves lliat for
a long time wc shall have no more engage-'
ments."
"You object to engagements?" said Lizlie,
speaking timidly and downfaccd-as I rather
like to see a young ludy speuk on this sub
ject. "Why, how should you liko it yourself,
my little maid ? To be loved, wooed and in
public for the benefit of an amused circle of
friends, neighbors and connections. To
have one's actions noticed, one's uffairs cun
vassed, one's feelings w eighed and meusuied,
to He rougralulated. condoled and Justed
w ith. Horriblu ? literally horrible. My won
der is that any true lovers can ever stand it."
"Perhaps you are right," Launceston re
plied, "no man ought to place the girl he
loves in such a position. Whatever it costs
him, he ought to leave her free altogether
free und offer hot uothing until he can offer
her his hand, ut once, anil with no deluy."
"Bless my soul, Luunceston, what ure jou
in such excitement about J Has anybody
been offering himself to your sister i Be
cause you mistook me. Ask her, or Lizzie,
or any good woman, if they' w ould feel flat
tered by a gentleman's actitig.in the wsy you
suggest ? As if his hand with the ring in
it were anj thing to them, and himself, aud
his true love nothing at ull f"
Launceston laughed uneasily. "Well, but
hut did you mean 1 A a friend of uiina
would like to kuovv your opiuioo in this
matter."
"My opinion Is simply nn opinion. Every
man is the best judge of his own affairs, es
pecially love uffairs. As the Eastern proverb
says, 'Let not the lions decide fur the tigers.'
But I think, did I love a woman" and it
pleased me to know I was but speaking out
her mind who years ago lived and died ia
her fond simplicity wiser than any of these)
"did I love a woman, I would like to tell
her so just to myself, no more. I woyld
like to give her uiy love to rest ou to re
ceive the help and cousolation of hers. I
would like her to feel that through all
chances and changes she and I were one;
one. ueilher for foolish child's play nor head
long passion, but for mutual strength aud
suppoit, holding ourselves responsible both
to Heaven and each other for our life end
our love. Ohe, iudisai'lubly. whether we
ever married or uol; ono iu ibis world, and
we pray one id the wi rid everlasting."
Was I dreaming? Dull actually tea my
friend Launceston take, unforbidden, my
youngest sister's hand, and hold it flimly,
tenderly, fast ! Did 1 hear, with iqy own
natural ears, Lizzie's soft little sob. not of
grief, certainly, as she slipped out of tho
room, as swift and silent as a tnoonlieaiii ?
Eh! What? Good UYuvtual Was there
ever any creature so bliud as a middle aged
elder brother !
Well, as 1 told Laonceston. it was half my
owu fault . aud I must bear it stoically. Per
haps, on the whole, things might have been
worse, for he is a ublo fellow, and jio won
der the child loves him. They cannot tie
