Only tbo mistress of a village school. I was an orphan, and lived with my aunt.mv mother's sister, to whom I owed a debt of gratitude We lived alone, In a modest, unpretending way, In a neat llttlo cottage situated on the outskirts of the village, ten minutes walk from my school. I had no sister nor brother, thcreforo was devotedly attached lo my now absent cous- , Gertie, whom my mother reared from Infancy. )Ve naturally looked on each other as sisters, and tho dearest of companions. But she left tho village, prepared .to travel and seek a position as governess, vjhlle I remained with aunt neir the lonely old home that was now deserted. It was near. ly three years since we parted, Gertie and I heard frequently lroin her. In her last letter slio told me she was engaged to be married, but declined to give mo the particulars, saying sUo hoped soon to liayo good news to tell me. Oh, how I waited and longed for letters from Gertie. I thought of ten,as tho weeks went by, that she must have entirely, for gotten me. It was probable that she was married, and had fouud a new and nobler love than mine. I was absorbed In these reflections, when the postman thrust In the open window of my schoolroom a letter which he held iu ills hand., In a moment tho envelope flew openr' : ' Oh, It is from Gertie! Dear Gertie, how could I think you so heartless?" The letter read as follows; "Deau Lottie, It seems a very long tlnco last I wrote, but I have abundant good-news to tell you. I have now a beau tlful borne, with the noblest and best of husbands. - The one wish to be gratified Is your presence here. I speak of you almost nceaslnsly to my husband, who knows how much wo love each other. Now that your holidays are come, won't yau spend them with George and me? The beauiiful surroundings, I know, will please you, and perhaps you will be persuaded to live with me and share my home; It will bo but a small return of the debt I owo you. Do not hesitate; come as soon as you are free. Write to us; and appoint the time ot your arrival. George will meet you at the depot, as we live a short distance In the country. Do not fall, dear Lottie. Love to auntie and yourself. Your affectionate cousin, Geiitib Dext." Never did a letter bring so much pleasure to a dreary spirit as Gertie's brought to me. I determined to accept het Invitation as early as possible. I hurried home, as I was unusually late, to meet my aunt look. Ing for mv return. What In the world has happened, child? You are excited. Is anything wrong?" Nothing, auntie. I have received a letter from Gertie, who is mariled, and sends a pressing Invitation to spend my holidays with her." "But, child, surely you would not think of such a thing? You have never been away from home; the distance Is long for ayounf Klrl." 'Auntie, I have determined to go, don't try to persuade me differently. Just read Gertie's letter, and I know you will approve." Well, I suppose I shall have to glye you your own way," wiping her glasses prior to adjusting them on her nose. Kissing her gratefully. 1 ran up stairs to pen a few lines to mj cousin, fixing the time of my visit The next task was not so easy. My wardrobe was not very ex tensive, and to adapt it for the advent at hand required tact and Ingenuity. How. ever, with my aunt's admirable judgment combined with my own taste, In less than a week I was perfectly satisfied with my outfit. The day of my departure came at last, Intolerably warm, but bright and sunny, as July days usually are. I bade my aunt an affectionate adieu, wiping away a tear as looked back, only to see her gazing at me through the window. I half regretted the s(ep I was about to take as tho distance lengthened and I could sea her dear old face no more, and thought bow lonely she would be In my absence. But I unconscl ouslv drifted from home thoughts when found myself In Ihe train. During my entire journey my mind was busv with my Intended visit. I had pictured to myself Gertie's husband waiting to receive me, but how should rreosnlza him? At last my destination was reached, and my heart gave a throb as I stepped from the tram to the piattorro, anxiously scan ,in!. evert face, hoping to find a inena Suddenly my attention was aiiracieu oy i ai in a. prripa. neninu a icenucui.u " " -I -! fieent calr of grays.

"I am she," I ventured timidly, vainly endeavoring to suppress a characteristic Unidcncc. lie cordially extended his hand. I am happy to meet you, Jliss Law- renco; you must bo very tired after so long ride. Gerllo is awaiting your arrival anxiously. Iler husband was called from home this morning, on business, conse quently tho pleasant duty of meeting you fell on his brother, I'hll." I must have showed evidence of mistrust ing his Introductory statement, for hu ad ded, his blue eyes beaming with humor: "I hopo you can trust yourself with me." I said yes, and In a short time wo had left the station and the village far behind. Tho gentle animals leisurely trotted along as we gained a gradual ascent in the road, which gave us an unobstructed view of the most beautiful landscapes I had ever seen. To tho north stood a rango of masslvo cliffs, out of whoso highest peak came the ceaseless roar of a mighty cataract, Its sli er spray being just then embellished by the beauteous hues of the rainbow, caused by tho last lingering rajs of the set ting sun. Beneath lay tho smiling valley, luxuri antly garbed with tho tlchcst treasures of tho season. Beyond stood a grove, and wrapped In its bosom could bo seen several white cottages, an occasional gleam of sunslilno transforming the windows Into burnished gold. I ventured to break the silence, being hardly capable of controlling the Impulse. "This Is one of the most charming spots have ever seen." 31c. Dent smiled. "I perceive, Miss Lawrence, that you arc an admirer of nature." "I am, Indeed," I replied. "I am glad you have come, Jlilss Lot- tic," ho continued; "we aro so lonely al tho Grove. I hopo vour visit will bo a pleasant one." I thanked him with as much composure as I could muster, and wc relapsed into si lence. At last my journey was ended; for Ger tie's familiar face peeped at mo from the portals of a pretty villa, and a mlnuto later we embraced each other. "Lottie, you must be very tired. Come now, tea is ready. But first I have some thing to show you which I kuo,v you will love." She led the way to an adjoining room, There n sweet baby lay asleep In its ctlb. "Oh, Gertie, why did you not mention this darling's existence to me before?" "Because I wanted to surprise you." I kissed tho sweet child carefully, lest I should Interrupt Its peaceful slumbers, and then followed Gertie to tho dining-room, where I met George, Gertie's husband, whose hearty welcome and generous hot- pltalltymado iner feel quite at home. It Is needless to describe how pleasantly my vacation passed. It seemed to me like coming into new life, as it really was, for- when I returned to my aunt I was the promised bride of Philip Dent. "Found a husband, oh?" said my aunt; 'then, my dear, I needn't give myself the trouble to ask you If you enjoyed your hol iday." My Wedding-day. BY NANNIE BEATTV. I was on my, knees before my trunk, tha trunk which contains my weddhuz tious seau. My mother nnd sisters stand loving ly by, giving me such help as I require. The tears aro falling thick and fast over my work, for to-morrow will bo my wedding-day, and I shall leave the dear, happy home of my childhood. Everything Is In at last, and I close the lid. No, here Is a bottlo of liniment which Bridget has given her "dear young mls- tliruss" in case of sprains. I tuck it lu among my handsome silk dresses, and arise fiom my knees with a feeling of satisfaction that my work Is done. There Is a ring at the door. I know It Is Jack; so I run down and open the door with a smile of welcome, which quickly disappears as I behold, not Jack, but a servant, who hands wo a bouquet of hot house flowers, and a note with "with Mr, Stuart's compliments." The note Is short and unsatlsfactory.only telling me that he cannot see me to-day, as be Is obliged to go out of town; but it Is from Jack; so, of course, I kiss It, and put It lit my bosom, and then run to put my flowers In water. This Is hardlv done when the door-bell rings again. This time It Is Teddy Lath- rope, dear old Ted, whom I have known all mv life. He comes In and greets me In his usual abrupt fashion, and setting a chair for me, places himself directly In front of me, "Well, how do you feel, .Yell?" he says, with an attempt at lightness in which he utterly falls, "Feel? why, with my fingers, Ted, don t you?" I say, gayly, feeling that I am mak ing a very silly speech. "Yes, I feel It to the tips of my Angers," Ted says, rather savagely. 'It" means my wedding, I know. Ted Is bitter about it; be does not llko Jack. There Is an awkward pause, a yery awk ward pause. Ted has placed himself In such a way before me that I cannot look up without looking straight Into his eyes, which are fixed yerj earnestly on me, I wish you woald moyel" I say pet tishly. He makes no answer, nor does he move, only to lean forward and say, earnestly: "Nell, do you love this fellow, btuartT" "Why, yes, Ted, I suppose so, else why should I marry htm?" I say, with a short, uneasy laugh. Ted Is terrible when he is In such an earnest mood. He rises and holds outils band. "Good-bye, Nell." "Aro you going?" I ask In surprise, 'Tes," he answers shortly, "Won't you stay to" But he has gone and left me staring blankly at the door, Poor Ted, I wonder what's the matter, with bltnr I hope he'll be in a oei er numor, to-morrow," I say as I run lightly up stairs. down snd sec him," my sister says.t "Ho has rjone." "Gone!" and then she must sea by my face that I want lo bo alone, so sho leaves me. My wedding morning has come; It Is a beautiful morning, n morning such as poets dream about and painters vainly try to put upon the canvas. "Blessed bo tho bride whom tho sun shines on!" exclaims my sister, as she runs In and kisses me. Then wo go down to breakfast, the last I shall cat In tho dear old house for many a day, for Jack and I aro going abroad for a year or two. I am to bo married at eleven o clock,nnd they tell me that I have an hour to do what pleaso In. At my request they leave me alone, and I wander around, thinking that sixty min utes neycr seemed so long. I wonder what Jack Is doing? Is he ns restless as I am? I open the piano and try to play, but my fingers aro stiff, and I make sad work of It. I go and throw my arms around dear papa's neck and kiss him over nnd over again, asking him If ho is "sorry to lose his Utile Nell." At last they tell rac It Is timo to get dressed, and I go up stairs. Eleven o'clock, and Jack has not come, Tho guests are assembled In the drawing' loom, and the ministers are walling with their robes on. I am still up stairs, very nervous and pale. Ono of my bfldcmalds wants to put a llttlo rouge on my cheeks, but I will not let her. Quarter past eleven, half past, quarter of twelve, still Jack hasn't come. Tho guests aro getting restless. What can bo tho matter? They havosent a messenger over to the hall. Llzzlo has goi;e down to speak to Ted, who Is stand' ing just outside tho drawing-room door, looking anything but happy. Poor Ted, I feel sorry for him I Tho messenger has returned. I run half way down the stairs to hear what ho has to say: . "Mr. Stuart has gone abroad; bo sailed this morning," comes distinctly to me from tho hall. I feel faint and dizzy, and the next mo mcnt Ted Is bcsldo me, whlspcilug very low and earnestly: "Darling, forgive me, but I cannot help It. I love you, Nell. Can you over love rac? Oh, my little doyc, come down and be married to met" For answer, I hldo my head on his shoulder, and then I know that I never loved Jack Stuart, but Ted, always. fo wo go down and are married, and at the wedding breakfast aftcr.I feel supreme ly happy, and I know Ted does. And when I kiss tbcm all good-bye, my eyes are so blinded by both happy and re gretful tears, that I scarcely know who I am klsstng, and Ted always will Insist that I threw my arms about Bridget's neck and I kissed her heartlly.thlnklng It was mother. l never quite know, but I don't think i did. "You had a row with Grlsby to-day, understand?" "Not much of a row, fortunately." "How did It occur?" "Why, ho called me a horse-thief, swindler, and numerous other disagreeable names." "What did yon say?" "I told him that for two cents I would whlphlm." "Did ho give you themency?" "No, ho had nothing but a two-cent stamp, and I never take stamps."
