As u boy I liu.il but one great trouble
in the world. ami its name WHS Eliza. (
"My Kliz s" lioiliiiother U chard* culled
her. She was a eery nightmare. lam
sorry to say that news of her demise j
would Imve given me intense joy. But

for but for her I should never have east
a thought upon Kill a or ai y otlur girl.

When 1 was in Irooks this model little |

ecstatically w hen evor Godmother Itch.

other godchild, a model of grace and
oeautv slid obedience. "1 .hall bring
her up for Billy," ' ind mot her Richards

and wife. Don't you want to send a kins

f At four I used t i send it. At eight 1 al

my godmother's ample -k rts and wept
and refused my lips, \\ hereupon i. id
mother Richards would say :
"Well, well, there's not too mueh mod

in short, how it was the hope of the old
lady's heart to bring us together some ,
day and m.ke a match of it. Kv II the
dislike I had to i|uarreling with t|. ;
tairy godmother who could n.overt tiy

make me exhibit any show of • uqlH

scoivelel in silence and refu-d ',-i.t:
and had the aati.-laction of In n.g

thought all the world so. inform itfl
mother, in a stage-aside, that u-iIH
the dear boy was head and ears in

ssfely out of hearing, "dear, indeed, aH

This tort of thing went on until I w-fl
twenty-two, growing even worse ;tl
time, and fast apj roach itig a elimaxfl
We were to be introduced to each othefl
before long; a meeting wason the tspi-
We were ordered to be mutually stri<>
en with love lit fir<t eight— to do . ourt 1
ing in the shortest |x>vtible spare of I
time, and to live there after with <lod- '
mother Hichard*, who confessed to hav.

fording to her account of atlcr*, the
young la ly would throw no obstac'e in
ruy way. "but felt a* though she knew
rue already."
"Forwaid little wretch." I naid to my- !
rlf. "She i perfectly disgusting. So
pow r on earth shall ever make u ar- ,
• piain ted." Perhaps my brother Tom
who introduced ' My K;i*a" iotohicon- ;
versation in the most trying manner,
and who drew a picture upon our bed
room wall of our imaginary met ting,
wherein she fell into my arms in highly !
dram itio style, the whole figure, Tom
licing no ariist, having square heads and
duck feet, excited my wrath against the
voung lady to a pitch to which it could
scarcely have arisen otherwise, and do
termincd me more deci ledly in my res
olution.
I was shaving in the early morning ,
when loin • one at my door cried, "Ifon't
mind me," and in earne (iodmother
Itichard*, with her black silk cloak and i
big green umbrella, with her cap in a
paper and a little b*ket on her arm. i
"Prepare yourself for ajoyf'il surprise, ;
my dear Billy," she cried. "She ha*
■ onsented at last to meet you. lam go- i
ing to have you both, with your parents,
at my house for a week. Wedneeday is (
the day, and if you can't manage to
- make her say "yes" in that time, why i
' you're net worth of your gydrnother." <
Then the old lady at down upon a 1
chair and fanned herself. ,
The surprise had made me gssli my j
< bin furiously, and I turned upon her
with anything hut an amiable rounte ,
nance. I
"I hope she hss not been annoyed on
u>y[aceount r " I said, sarcastically "Don't i
urge her to meet me, I beg. I wouldn't
li.tre her do er>**thing disagreeable to 1

"Dui'tbebe angry, Hilly," said she,
"Girls arc natural y timid, mid she
knows how smart and handsome you
are, and is just a little afraid of you.
She think- ever so much ot you, and is
always talking iihoul you, ami asking
quest ion* afoul you. Don't be angry
with your K iza."
I didn t use wicked language, hut 1
wante I to. My Kliza!
"You'll ho there, ol course, Billy, '
s iid my godmother, "and look your best.
' Blue neckties do Income you, and those
I whiskeis are growing. I'm sorry you
cut your chin hcl wecit 'em ; put on a bit
of Court ]< aster. NoW, ho sure to route.
You'll aiuttie her so, I know, Hilly,"
And my godmother departed,
j Go volunlari y lo meet ''My El za?'
Never ! That afterm on 1 packed my
i trunk and tied tie bouse, determined
. never lo retui II liouic, or give my god
mother a clew to my whcrcitlmuts a-
I long as "My Kliza" awaited my coming.
| "I.et her leaver her confounded money
j where alto pleases," 1 said, spo-trophiz
itig my absent godmother. "No one
shall saddle me with a wife against my

My eons II , the <'ripins, took summer
Imai'deis. Their house was like ilo< New

| "And we can accommodate you, •ou

"We li.rl II v. ry nice room yesterday,

and was glad alter all that it was ovr,
! and went on boating, and driving, and
i croqueting a* before, t'ntil one day I
| received a sudden shock, on learning
j that Miss Lizzie Smith was g. ing home
We were to part then. I resolved
that we should not be sej mated I <-f, re
I knew whether she really liked me well
enough to make me happy.
So the next day f drove her over to
an old fort she had longed to see, and
| having reached the spot, found our-. Ive*
alone anu I crumbling stones and rank
grass nd tangled bushes, just as I hop. d
I should. Withrw the fort a g <at block
iof stone lay, with in's ujion it, tbis k
and green and spongy. There I made
Lizzie seat herself, and stood beside her.
"Lizzie." I said, "we haven't known
eeh other very Irng, but I have known
you long enough to l sure that I love
you with alt my heart and soul. Will
you be my wife, Lizzie?"
Lizzie hung hor ryes down and blush
ed and said nothing.
"Can't you like me well enough ?" I
asked, bending over her.
"I—l think 1 do," faltered Lizzie.
"Rut the thing is, what will they say
about it?"
"They?" I queried, venturing to steal
an arm about her waist. "You mean
your parents 7"
"Yes," said Lizzie, "aod my god
mother."
Visions of my godmother flashed
across me.
"You see," said, Lizzie, between laugh
ing and crying, "ahe'a a very peculiar
old lady, and really did conaider heraelf
bound to teach me my oatecbiam. Most
sponsors think giving you a silver apoon
it onough, you know. That waa very
well. But why should she think she
must choose me a husband, I don't
know."
Again my godmother rose before my
vision.
"But she did," said Lizzie, hystatical
ly, "And that It not tho vrortt of It.
