Candidly, do you believe in love at first
B ight, Amy ?" • - ,
A young 'man asked tiro quetitiMi, look;
jug up from the .novel hd was niatiirigl—L
And a young girl, probably his eoinkiii,
blushed ali'. she replied,' ' 4 sho °did 'itot
know. ,
I forget what else paged. They yeti
only fellow-travelers% a'railway carriage.
My friend, Mrs: - /gurrtly, 3rba *as taking
me to her home, called my attention to
some place of intereat'we were passing,
and the young man resumed reading his
book.
But the question.recurred to me, , and
as I leaned back in itly corner I tried. to
answer it for myself, and to solve a little
mystery that puzz'ed me.
Three times had I met a gentleman, a
handsome young man, tall, dark and list
less. We had never spoken, but his nd
tice of me had attracted - my attention.—
At a ball he followed me about, changed
color when our eyes met, but did not
seek an introduction.. •
At a concert he had stared me almost
out of countenance, yet gravely, almost
respectfully.
At a picnic—the last time I had seen
him—be was happy, laughing and talking
till he saw me, when his manner became
constrained, and in a few minutes he left
the party.
There was a strange fascination in his
*large dark eyes, and I wondered if I
should ever meet him again.
Ile must, have had"sonie reason for no-
ticiog me so strangely, for I was notprot
tv. No, no ! It could not be love at brat
sight, could it ?
We arrived at The Meadows tate in the
evening. Mrs. Murray introduced mew
her daughter Lydia, a lady - some fifteen
years older than myself. She was the on
ly child at home. Mr. John was married
and bad the rectory.' George, the eldest
son, was traveling abroad.:-
Mrs. Murray and my mother bad been
school friends, but bad been separated for
years, and so were comparative strangers
until they met again in society, and Mrs.
Murray asked me to spend two or three
months with her in the oonntry,to recruit.
my strength and the fatigue ofu London
season. ,
The day after our arrival Lydia showed
me over the house and grounds. Harold,
Hr. John's eldest child,
_eight years old,
came with us.
The conservatory door was locked.—
'Aiss Murray left us to fetch the key.—
flarold remained talking.

When I returned home Mrs. Murray
was _expecting her son, for his man and
luggage were there already.
" It is just like him," said Lydia; "he
comes and goes like Will.o'-the-Wisp ;
perhaps you mayinduce him to stay a lit

Again I blushed.
"Di I offend you,
dear.?", said Lydia
kindly, as she Passed her arm around my
sh,oulders, and we walked up and down
the terrace together.
" No," said I, "net,in the least ; if I
influence Ms. Murray at all, it will be to
drive him away."'
Then Itold her of our meetings, but: of
