Her nose, I must acknowl edge, was slightly celestial in its tendency, but what oflhatT It only gave her a saucier air, and made her, if possible, more bewitching than ever. Lizzie could 101 l a story inimitable ; her flashing black eyes, ever changing in expression, and rosy dimpled mouth, added indiscribable oUnrraa toiler powers of descript ion and contributed to make her one of tho most fascinating creolurse living. In oddiUon to all these •Unctions, shb possessed others of a more solid na ture, and much more to tho purpose in tho opinion of many of the sterner tez, who look upon wealth as the alpha and omega of everything desirable in this world. Lizzie Leslie was left an orphan end an heiress el an early age, with no brother or sisters, and was now et tho headof e large and elegant establishment in one of our large cities, its solo mistress. Of course she was much courted and admired. Crowd* of flatterers hovered around her f admirers without number, and how she queened it over thorn. She would listen to none of their rows and protestations. She was pronounced hearllecs, but it was not so. for she strongly suspected were she poor and penniless, her crowd of suitors would greatly dimmish.

Thus abandoned, Lizzie.was obliged to return with Mr.'Summer, and did not seem inconsolable ot the exchange. Soon tho attention of tho whole village was engrossed by the approaching marriage of Esther Henderson to Augustas'Summer; The peoplo of S had but low topics to discuss, and such an occurrence as this was-a glorious ryindfall to thorn; it was tho point of debate at all tea parlies, sewing circles ond other gatherings.

On a bright sunny morning there was a marriage in tho village church ; tho good minister of S officiated, and joined in holy wedlock, Augustus Summer and Esther Henderson. Tho bride had never looked so lovely, and tho fnco of tho bridegroom was radiant with happiness. Immediately otter tho ceremony they bade adieu to tho vilago, ond depart ed lur (ho hum bio homo which Augustus hsd so oft en and so eloquently portrayed to his dear Companion »nri she was delighted will) the idea of soon surpris ing him with tho riches and elegance she would make him master of.
