AT AUNT'S.
HY J. R. w.
At a cettatn door in a certain squaro
(boti very smart nnd fresh) and be
tween three and five one fine summer
afternoon, a gentlemanly man, of
clonded countenance, inlizlit have hpen
seen to knock, and with a sense uf
having done so before
A footman opened It.
"Oh, good morning, Henry. Is my
aunt In ?'
"No, sir; but wo expect the carriage
every moment. Will you wait?"
"Yes; for I want to seo Miss Ford
very particularly."
After being shown Into the drawing
room, certainly ho did not take a seat,
for tho man In llvety heard him tramp
ing up and down, backwards and for
wards, Incessantly.
Three minutes after, on looking from
ono of the windows, ho saw a cab drive
up to the door, where a young person
descended, and performed a very re
markable fantasia on the door knocker.
As tho occupant of the drawing
room looked, he saw a young lady bend
forward and smile as she addressed tho
servant.
"What a jelly pretty glrll"
"This Is Miss Ford's house, I think?"
"Yes, miss."
"Is she at home?"
"No, miss."
"Will sho be at homo boforo long?"
"Wo expect my mistress in every
moment, miss."
"Then If you please I think I will
wait for her. Will you kindly open the
door?"
Well, it is impossiblo to say that
tliero was anything very attractive
about these words; nevertheless, Mr.
Tom Angel found them some of the
most pleasant he had ever heard, so un
expected and incomprehensible are our
likes and dislikes.
When the young lady entered the
drawinc-room and saw it was occupied,
she drew bask In some hesitation, evi
dently combatting with herself whether
she should enter or not.
However, clearly her business was
of considerable urgency, for suddenly
her very pretty features became set,
and she stepped firmly Into the room,
bowing, without any reserve, to tho
gentleman she saw there.
He found her qulto delightful.
"All the windnwsaroopen," lie said,
when tho servant had withdrawn. "Is
the wind to much for you? Shall I close
one or two?"
"Oh, dear me, no 1" sho replied, with
out nny of that reserve so common to
young ladles when they find themselves
In the ptesence of a stranger. "lam
sure I want all the air possible."
"Ah! you suffer from tho heat."
"Not at all; but sometimes one re
quires all the air and open tpace
possible."
"I am of your Opinion," ho said
earnestly. "1 quite comprehend that
feeling. I am mjself an example in
point, for It was I opened all tho win
tlows; and when your carriago arriv
ed, I was tramping up and down the
room liko an angry grenadier."
"It is not a carriage," said tho young
lady, with considerable, if amiable, as
petity; "it Is a common cab, and the
young person inside Is P.iwklns, who Is
looking so surly because I havo made a
dash from homo, while I am supposed
to bo walking in tho enclosure in our
square, and have come to ask Miss Ford
to help mo."
"Ah, you know Miss Ford?"
"I havo not seen much of her. Wo
have lived abroad a good deal, and Miss
Ford does not like tho Continent. She
came to us last Autumn, however, and
sho and I became great filends, and I
havo como hero for her Bervlces. Pray,
mny I ask why you aro waiting?"
"I was thinking how similar are our
errands here," lie replied; "for I havo
come to seek Miss Ford's advice, or,
rather, to ai-k her to tako up the cudg
els In my favor, and Insist with my
people upon having my own way."
"Just my case," said the youug lady.
"I must Insist upon Miss Ford Insisting
upon my father nnd mamma listening
to my very reasonable objections "
'Ha P' said tho young gentleman,
whose brow had clouded; "your i"-'plo
at home aro Interferelng with you?"
"Very much so, indeed," replied the
young lady. "I'm old enough to mati
ng e tny own affairs!"
' Quito right," acquiesced the other,
enthusiastically. "1 know what I am
about to ask is very Impertinent, but do
allow me t shake you by tho hand."
"Certainly," she cried, Willi great
alacilty ; ' it Is qulto delightful to meet
with some one who Is sympathetic I I
know it is most imprudent to be eonfl
deutial with qulto a stranger, but tho
fact that you know Miss Ford imbues
mo with greater courage. W11 have
been living abroad, and my people posi
tively Insist upon my marrying a man
I havo not seen since he was a mere
boy, aud all because of some, curious
family understanding that took place
before I was bom, even I"
"Something my case," he said. "But
I will never submit, and I st.atl prufcr
the alternative to bo Bent away as a
steerage passenger to Australia, with
one hundred dollars in my pocket!"
"Ha I" cried the young lady, with
astounding keenness; ''thru, if you are
ready to go away, you do not refuse
the young lady your people wish you to
marry becauseyou like somebody else?"
"Dear me, 110: I am free as the air."
"fco am I,'' she said, bursting Into u
silvery laugh.
He came forward a step, tud then
hesitated.
"Oh, yes," said she, "you must
shake hands again."
It was at this point that Miss Ford, a
hand-oniH, hearty, bonny woman of
fifty c.amo Into the room, and said, In
the titterest astonishment
"Bless my soul I I thought you two
young people detested each other; and
hero have I been to your fathers and
mothers, and shown them your two
distressed notes to myself, and I havo
got them to promise that they will break
the match off, nnd I come homo to find
you making love under my very roofl"
The young people wero still smiling,
but looking at each other in the utmost
perplexity.
"Cousin Bessie," ho said, "Is that
you?"
"Cousin Tom, it is I And you are
you I How you are changed for tho
better, since you were ten I"
"And you what a difference since
you wero five, nnd burst out crying be
cause I, at eight, was,greedy enough to
steal your cherries " "
Miss Ford was laughing now.
"Come, come, you young people,
shako hands. That Is right. You see,
you disliked each other until you met,
and now you adoro one another. Yes
terday you each wrote praying me to
go to my brothers, your fathers, and
break off tho proposed match between
your families, and now you aro terribly
afraid I have dono It. There Is no
managing you young peoplo who do not
know your own mluds for ono moment,
and after disliking each other, they
know not why, love each other for life,
and would never forgive their family
for patting theml"
Here bonny Miss Ford, sat down be
fore the young couple, and, with n
radiant smile she continued
"You young people, listen to me.
My two brothers-in-law married two
sisters, and, of course, the women
quarreled, or thought they did, and
were too proud to admit their faults.
Your two fathers wero very sorry for
the rupture, nnd yours, Bessie, went
abroad, that the brothers might not ex
perience any pain of meeting, with the
knowledge Miat it would Irritate their
wives. As you both grew up, It struck
me that your marriage with each other
must reuullu your mothers; nnd this
morning, under veiy dexterous manage
ment, they havo met, have owned their
foolishness, and will, I am sure, never
allow division between them. It was
then I suggested, ou the strength of
your two stupid letters, that If you
could not agree, it would be well for
you to keep apart; and while your
mothers quite agreed upon that point,
and wished there had never been any
cause for disagreement, they both evi
dently wished that you might marry.
What is to be done ?"
"Cousin Tom." said tho young lady,
"my cab Is nt the door. Will you come
and see papa and iimraraa?"
Ho leapt up very willingly.
"No, uo," said Miss Ford, "wo will
go In state; nnd as it seems that I have
done pretty well for you already, I had
better be iu at the death that id to say,
I had better look after you as far as the
altar; thenceforward, shitt fur your
selves. Come along !"
