COUSIN MARGARET. Margaret was cross—yes, cross 1 I- think r could give her pettishness of - that long ago morning, no 'milder. name then that. But I wo h id not have' cared ; she might have fretted and fumed at the children till this time for aught I had to do with it, if she had only been content to, let me alone. I am not an angel, neither are my eyes blue ; and, besides, Margaret bad wronged me too deeply to make it a virtue to bear with her ill temper any longer. But pardon me. Perhaps the reader wishes to know who • Mirgaret was, and of whom I was speaking ___ whenl_wroto that psoud little monoszllable "I." Well, I - will etplitin.

She had one of those bewildering, feed- Jutting countenances which dazzle and inter kale ; but if one were to take her in hie ,4rms, and strive to gather her up against his heart, le would Ond her, 'oh, ao cold Like a glacier was Margaret. \et every one admired her; almost every tongue was extravagant in lavishing eulogiums upon coy cousin. Margaret's disposition, how ever, was not quite so faultlessly attractive as her face., It reminded me of a volcano cased up in ice. Of her intellectual and mentat beauties I was never able to daer- j mine, for, try as I would, on that point, never succeeded in.drawing her out. Per haps she thought "discretion is the better part of valor," and as there was nothing to reveal, concluded not to reveal IL How ever, this may all have been a mistaken notion , of my own. Carey Piece, as we tailed our home, was si dear little cottage, itestled-down in a par adise of shubbery; ahtll not, as the name woultl suggest, a lofty, entitle dwelling, With,,Elizabethian columns, and boasting a gallery of paintings unequaled in the world. It was a dear, cozy home, though, and I spent many a happy hetn Slt.° in the spring preceding Margaret's advent among us. I wonder if my city cousin thought that we needed patronage, that, when tired of the ceaseless dissipations of a season in society, she should choose to impose her unsolicited presence upon us, instead of packing a dozen or less Saratoga trunks and going with her "dear live hundred friends" to Nahant or Cape May. • When I asked my mother that question she looked at me in mild displeasure, and rep c.

My father, of course, sided with her, so f had only_ the-littl4 onesto_ccuidale milli me, for my younger sisters did not like .the prospect of, au invasion of our quiet pre cincts, where we did as we liked, any better than I did: I looked at the baud of hutted gold on my right hand, and sighed. 14 - Cfirrquiet walks and talks on moonlight nights with PerrY ; no more horse-back rides with him only for a companion; no more excursions on the river with "just no two," but ther e , must be tfiefriablesome addition of a third party to our walks, tele-a-Wu, and eques trian exercises, and that person a danger ously beautiful woman. Perry was n't any better satisfied than I was. lie made a few exclamations contrary to etiquettical laws witen,l showed him Margaret's letter, and adiect that he hoped the air would not agrie with her health, so she'd hasten away soon. Ily concurred, Weren't we selfish Perry Southerland Was my betrothed hus band.

Then, tee , the girls seemed drawn together on the prin ciple of "extremes meet."

Therefore she only saw the beautiful exterior of Mar garet's nature, and, like thousands of oth ers, deemed the inner temple quite as lovely. Guy Ainslie. Ler brother, appeared to be a sfern, fOrbiddist, and unsocial win, car: ing bat little for the world, women in 'par ticular. He was thirty, Bel said, but surely he looked much younger, and his face, though not handsome, bore the impress of great intellectuality. Margaret told me, with a shrug of her handsome shoulders, that she was afraid of him ; he was a per fect ogre, and too horribly selfish to be yn ditred,.. I liked Lim at first, but he soon showed me' by his impenetrable reserve, that I might as well keep my distance, so I kept it. Ile had intended returning a few days subsequent to his arrival, but my fath er, who had taken a strong liking to his anomaly : as he playfully styled him, plead for his longer stay with us; and as business was dull in the city, and everybody out of town, he consented. To Bel and Margaret I gave up 'my dear little room, with the pretty vine-shaded verandah in front, and took one on the west side of the house.- Mr. Arnslie's room was below, as he disliked sleeping up stairs. I wanted Perry to see Margaret, for after she wassrally there, I determined to make Ler stay as agreeable as possible; besides, too, was he not an enthusiastic admirer of beauty? I asked that same question of Mr. Ainslie, as I had , been looking at herohalf ebtranced as she was sitting at the west window, with the golden arrows slanting over her polished ands and shoulders, and nestling deep down in the loose meshes of her purplish black hair. lie said " No," briefly and very coldly, and too much dis gusted with his lack ..o; good taste to ques tion why, I left him to bury himself in the brazen-olasned volume he bad brought from the library. l'erry came in with papa while she sat there with Bel at Ler feet, and was sintritui the last stado_of_"Auld Robin Gray," in a reef undertone to herself.

After all my talking he had never dream eethat my cousin was half he found her to be. Ile had often said to me when I asked him, "Why do you love me ?" "Because you are a beautiful, little puss." And now, I could not help smiling as I compared the face at the window with _my own, and thought. "0 ! what a flimsy reasoi." They talked together for 'along timet and then stepped to the low window to gather flowers from without. Margaret held out her hand to Bel, bat Miss Ainslie laughing ly answered—,-"Two is company, three is none!" anti came over to our 'side of the room. Perry smiled, and tossed me a ales. When his sister Joined us, Gay laid aside hie book and as she sat down on the carpet at his feet with her head on his knees, he caressed the long loose curls of sunny brown hair, hanging negliemtly over her neat with all the tenderness ofa woman- Guy loved his sister, I believe, better than any thing else on earth, for the smile on his lips was net a forted one, as he stooped over to kiss her, saying : "You are the beat treasure, little sis." .Don't jou wish you. had such a dear, good brother, Katie t" Baked Miss Ainslie, looking up atvat with a contented smile.

It fell on the vari•eolored_carpet, and I looked for it in vain, then alluding to the language, told him his. confession was lost upon me. Margaret gave him another, and he came and put it in my hair. Did that suit Miss Etherigde. I could not tell, for she was smiling. * * * * * * * There were a great many callers at the house, but none upon whom Margaret looked with so decided a preference as Perry Southerland. Perry bad said he would not come often during my cousin's stay; but he had evidently changed his mind, for every day Margaret chained him to her side with fascinations she knew best how to use. At first I liked to see Marga ret strive to win hie attention thinking the while bow fruitless would be her endeavors if she angled for his love. I seldom saw him alone now, and moments—little stray ones—which he might have reserved for me, were spent in trivial conversation with her. But I never doubted him ; the thought never came to me that he was forgetting me, or if it did I banished it most speedily, and asked forgiveness of my fond heart for indulging in speculations unworthy of myself. Were we not pledged? --t Bel Ainslie shrank from contact with many gentlemen, and I loved her for it when she told me why. There was a diamond on Bel's hArid—she was betrothed to one who was traveling abroad, but he would soon return to claim her. She was faithful, and eared for the society of few of his sex since he was absent. a * * * * * * It was a beautiful moonlight e3t,euing in June. Bel had retired with• a headache. Mr. Ainslie was with pa in the library, Margaret and Perry had not returned trim their after-tea walk and L lay half asleep on the sofa in the parlor, clasping warm, bright hopes op my passionate heart, thinking of the blessed future—Perry's and mine.

There was another moment of silence, a kiss and good night exchanged—l board Margaret's silk sweep agaiant the bailee tride as she went up stairs, _aria also heard the Click of the Iron gate es it opened and shut, and Perry walked away.

Ile whom I had loved so faithfully had betrayed my affections. And she was it a woman? Could one, bearing that sacred name, have degraded herself to the level which Marga ret Ethridge had done? A lava tide of sorrow, scorn, and bitter disappointment swept through my heart. I fell upon my knees and prayed. When I went to my room, and laying down, drew the clothes closely over me—it seemed so cold. I don't know how long it was before I awakened, bat when I did Bel waiiiitting beside toe, and there was a costly boquet on the stand at the halide. She said I bad been very ill for weeks. Guy sent the flowers she said, and Margaret and Mr. Southerland had been in often to see me. I ieinembered it all then—l thought I was dying. Bel put a glassier water to my lips —told me to try to sleep--drew the curtains closer, and tip-toed softly out.
