sister, Gertrude, w ho was tumbling over tho
contents of her trunk inscarch of somethings.
"Oh, I am delighted 1"
"He's tho best catch I know of, Louise,"
said Julia.
"Welle of course ho has como to spend a

Mrs. Anslic ; 'bnt I wiu at my wits' end for

"No, indeed. I can manage capitally with

"I havn't seen him for nearly five years,"
said Gertrude ; "but I used to be desperate

I got up from tho floor where I hail been
silting for the last ten minutes, with my
hair about my shoulders, and went then to
sec what a bright color there was upon my
cheeks.
My sisters wero drc.'sed in a few moments
more, nnd went down stairs with Louise
When the sound of their voices hud died

room btreamed out broadly upon the dark
ness, as some one drew tho window drape
ry nside, and an instant al'terwurds two per
son st( pped out upon tho terrace. It was
my sister Gertrude nnd a gentleman. I
could hear their words plainly us they pas
sed backwards nnd forwards. They talk
ed gaily and curcU-s-sly alKittt ft great many
things, some uf which I could understand,
ami others I could not. At last I was start
led bv tho words of my sister's companion.
"What is that ?' ho said.
"What said my siater. "What do you
I'mcati Mr. Cheston '("
"I thought I car.ght tho ghmpso of a
child's face ot that wiiy'.ow," replied the
.'cntlemau. "Ami if I am not mistaken it
was wet with tears." .
I tlrew back quietly with a beating heart,
I but I heard mv sister sav, "Oh 'tis Mattic,
my little sister, I suppose. Tho child is
averse to our givifi? this party to night, and
declares that wo are all heartless and forget
ful of my dear mother. Of course," as you
aro aware, tho idea is very absurd, but no
one could make her believe it, and she has
shut herself up in her room and cried all
Ulav."

iust the fiicts of the enso. If her wouls littd

ghoukl htive htited him forever: btitpcepinif
carefully lrom behind the curtain I saw his
lace as he passed by tho lighted window,
aud it was as mavo and sr.-utlo as I could
havo wished. Ho made Ocrtrudo no reply.
A few moments afterwards they stepped
through tho window into tho room again.
Leaning back into my old place dropped my
head into mv hands fell to thinking, but not
of my troubles, tniudenly 1 was startled by
hearing my namo called. Altera moments
bewildeiudhesilation 1 leaned forward and
looked out. .MV. Cheston was standing alone
Upon the terrace.

to talk with you. '
bprinuinK up, 1 lelt mv room, and trip-
ing liirlitly down the stairs, stepped through
the hull door upon tho terrace, and stood
belore nun Willi a beating heart, lie took
my hand and stooping down Uo looked kind
ly into my face.
'What havo you been crying for ?" lie said,
gently.
"Vod know," I replied, laconically.
'rio I do, little Mattic," he said, smiling
ly, "und I called you down because I wihhed
to tell you that I don't think, it foolish at
all, us the others do, aud I'm veiyjsorry for
you."
I allowed hi in to kiss me, which was a
liberty I should have indignantly resented
under any other circumstances.
'"In a feV moments I am going awav, and
ehall begone forssverul years," he said, after
a pause, during which he looked keenly but
kindly into my downcast lace. '"When 1
come buck you will be a young lady, Mut-
tie."
'I know it," said L "And am very strry
font." .
"Kor what reason t" he asked. '
Because I dou't like young ludicB, I re
plied.
"W'hv not I" ha asked.
. "They are so foolish." I said. "They talk
about nothing else but dreiu, uud jjyiitleuii n
and parties, uud aro always Umcfojol oo-
ple in tho world to mc."
The idea that Mr. Cheston was laughing
nt mo Unshed upon my mind as I finished
speaking, but glancing up quickly in his
face I saw that it wns unnsuaily grave.
"Your opinion of your sex is not a very
flattering one, however truthful it may be."
ho said. "Do you believe all young ladies
uro like these, whom you see every day."
"I don't know," I said.
"Do you think it necessary that they
should be ?"' he asked.
" "No, sir," I Haiti, "for I don't think
mother was such a voting lad v."
my
"Don't you think that you could grow up
to bo a sensible, useful women, if jou were
to try t" ho nked.
"Yes, sir," I said.
"Will you try ?"' he asked.
"I will," was my earnest reply.
"And I hope jou may succeed, my dear
Mattie, both for your sake and my own,"
aaid Mr. Cheston. "Xow I must leave you.
Will you kiss 1110 good-bye?"
I astonished myself very much by the act i
when I pressed my lips to his, as ho ben
down. Something in my face attracted bis
attention for a moment after, nnd ho sigh
ed. "You'ro a queer little thihg," ho said.
"What would you tell mc if I were to ask
you if you liked me."
"The truth, of course,'" I replied.
"Then I'll spare your blushes, you remark
able morsel of womanhood," he said. "Hut
Mattie," ho continued, more seriously, "will
you kiss mc when I come back ?"
"Yes, sir," said I.
"You will be a young lady then, remem
ber," lie said.
"I shall be myself just the same," I said.
"So you will," said ho. "I shall hold you
to your proniiso. Remember it. Now, Uood
byc." lie turned away as some one came upon
the terrace, and I sprang through tho halt
door, and flew bivck to my room. And this
was the scene I was thinking over as I sat
upon the floor of my room nt the beautiful
country-scat of tho Anslies a girl ot seven
teen, dark, plain, shy und sensitive.
"Mattie, wkat for mercy's sake arc you do
ing that you are not dressed yet ? Tis near
ly "dinner-time," iaid my sister Julia, dash
ing into the room for something, and stopp
ing short as her eyes fell upon me. "Have
you been asleep V
"No," said I, sullenly, getting up and go
ing to the mirror.
"Oh, you queer child," said she. "Now
do be quick. Y'ott'll find me in the drawing
room if you ever get ready to como down,"
and on she swept.
I think there arc tew persons in the world
who can understand what 1 stitVercd when 1
entered the room where Mr. Cheston was.
Everything was a bhink to me as I crossed
to tho window where my sister sat. I real
ized nothing in existence but the heavy pul
sations of my heart, which seemed as if
they would beat out my life. When I came
to my senses I was sitting by good Mrs.
Wilson, who was always kind to me, und
whom I sometimes thought I loved better
than either Julia or Gertrude.
"lou did not expect to see so many peo
ple, dear, and were frightened," shu said
with a smile on her kind motherly face.
"1 saw it tl"i moment she opened the door."
I answered only with a glance, and slipp
ed my hand into hers.
"Mrs, Wilson," said my sister Gertrude,
"if Mr. Cheston comes this way again I want
vou to take Mattie round to the other side
of you. You will, won't you '"
"No, my dear; unit's very ungenerous ol
you, , replied .Mrs. ilson. "1 sua 1 warn
Mr. Cheston that you have serious designs
on him."
"I don't see the necessity of warning a
person against a danger of which he is al
ready aware," snapped a -young lady with
very black eyes, who stood behind the sofa
011 which we sat.
Gertrude turned round with a crimson
face.
"What is the subject of your discussion?
Won't you odtnit me to your confidence, la
dies ? said a familiar voice, so near my ear
that I started in affright.
The black-eyed voung lady slipped aside
to givo Mr. Chefton a place near us. Sev
eral persons were presented to him ; I among
others- Ho p;.id mo no particular attention
and took a chair beside Gertrude.
"Did'nt you inquire what wo wero talk
about, Mr. Cheston!" said tho bUck-cyed
young l;.dy.
"I believe I had tho audacity to do so,"
he replied, smiling. Hut the smile was very
dilferent from, the one I remembered to have
seen upon his face.
"We were speaking of kisses," said Ger
trude, qickly with a suuev smile. "Aud
I Initio Latimer declared that she didn't be
lieve you cared for them."
I started. I had never before heard my
sister utter a deliberate falsehood.
"I am very sorry that Miss Latimer thinks
mo so indifferent to the most perfect luxury
iu life," he replied, glancing up at her.
"Victory, Ilattie:-.Mr.;utieston does ueueve
in kisses," cried Gertrude, with a smile so
bniilit as to dazzle tlio eyes, so una uui two
of us saw the hiddcu malice.
I thiuk Miss Ilattie was about making aa
attempt to struggle out of tho position into
which mv sister had thrust her; but Louise
Ansiie, w'ho had sauntered up a moment be
fore exclaimed, "Oh, .Mr. Cheston, don't
you remember that you once attended a for
feit liartv. and wore tho must dissatisfied
face 1 ever saw iu my life, all tho evening!
"Hut Mrs. Ansiie, that was because I con
sider forfeits a sacrilege of the caress," he
replied, "it is converting the beautilul
into tlio uselulnn.t mining its pecuiar viuue
by so doing I regret, however, that my face
betrayed my feeling. I assure jou that the
rudeness was not intentional.
Mr. Cheston is apparently unconscious
that several ladiis are looking at liita very
admiringly, said a low voice near me.
I turned rmuid. It wns Mr. Maynaru,
who was in a lever of jealousy because Hose
Lawtou's bright eyes wero lixod upon the
gentleman in question.
"Tako care, Mr. Cheston," cried Gertrude.
"I'm afraid you dou't know what .you are
briuging upon yourself. Having declared
vourself so much in favor of the "most per
fect luxury in lite," we young ladies may
have you quite at our mercy. According to
vour assertiou. I doubt if you could resist
the reward of a kiss from a pretty girl who
might be sueing for a favor. Could you i"
"Yes," he replied.
"How so " she asked.
"Hecatiso a kiss given in that way would
be of Jittlo vulue," said Mr. Cheston.
"I consider that a very aurfkiud speech,
coming as it does from tho lips of a man
who is well aware that kisses are a lady a
favorite bribe,", replied Gertrude, flushed,
but laughing. . "It i a most utigallant
speech, Mr. CheiUm; you niut tud trial
for iiuuiehmeuV ......
"I will make it short by choosing Rose
Law ton for my judge," he replied, laughing
and glancing up into the smiling eyes of the
little beauty.
"Y'otir chantisement shnll be to confess
whom you kissed lust," said site gaily.
"Tha't is not fair," ho said.
"Why ?" she demanded quickly. .
"Because," said he, "the lady is present,
and the punishment would rather fall upon
her than me." Whereupon they all burst
into a merry laugh.
"Well, then, you can tell whom you in
tend to kiss next," said Hose.
"That will not do either," said he. "I
should never be able to put my intentions
into effect."
"Do you keep an account of your kisses,
as you do your expenses, Cheston '(" called
out Mayna'rd.
"Yes," replied Cheston, quietly.
Now I havo it!" cried .Rose Law ton.
"You shall tell us how many Indie. you
have kissed during the last five years."
"I will do so on condition that my word
shnll not be doubted," he said, gravely.
"Wu will believe yon, certainly," said
Rose. "Now listen, good folks."
"N'9t one," said Mr. Cheston, quietly;
upon which everybody looked astonished.
"Oh, Mr. Cheston, you amaze us I" cried
Rose.
"Hugh is probably faithful ta soma fair
lady who favored him before," said Mr.
Ansiie, who had been listening quietly for a
few moments.
"Exactly," said Mr. Cheston, rising with
a bow- and turning away to some ono who
called him impatiently.
Oh, the1 significant glances arid exclama
tions of wontler that were circulated through
the group nfter his departure 1
"And what are you thinking of, little
mouse," said Mrs. Wilson, bending toward
me. "Your cheeks are rs led as rores."
She would have been overwhelmed with
astonishment if I had told her.
Three weeks passed, and Mr. Cheston and
I were on no more intimate terms than we
had been on that first evening. We rarely
met except at tho table or in the drawing
ro'om of an evening, uud he seldom address
ed mo when wo did meet. Ry degrees I
overcame my shyness and sensaliveness re
garding him. He had forgotten, 1 thought,
the romantic incident ot my childhood,
which had always had such a charm. for me,
and I wondered at myself for ever supposing
that he had remembered it beyond tho mo
ment. It made me a little sad to know
that air my pleasant thoughts concerning it
were cast less in the air, aud slightly humilia
ting, taken in connection with his polite in
dill'erence to me, to kuow that those
thoughts were so many.
0fcMr. Cheston was a great lion among the
party at "The Maples." Tho ladies liked
him; tho gentlemen were jealous of him
while they strove to immitatc him. Every
body talked of him; everybody admired
him, cithor secretly or openly.
The suminar wore graduily away. .Sever
al of our party had returned home, and one
clear September morning Mr. Cheston in-
tormed .Mr. Anslto nt the broaklnst table
that ho should bo obliged to return to town
the next morning. It frightened mo to
know how shocked and pained I wns, nnd
at the first opportunity 1 roso aud left the
room.
That evening, when tho drawing-room
was deserted by the few that remained of
tho gay company, and I could hettr their
voices far down the mooulit park, 1 strolled
into the dark, silent room, and sank upon a
cushioned seat. Instantly some ono started
up in the dusky light, and coming lorward,
sat betide me. It was Mr. Cheston.
"Mattie," said he, ''I intend going awav
before six o'clock to-morrow morning, nnd
shall probably not . see you again." I did
not reply, aud he continued "Haven't I a
right to ask for a good-bye kiss ?''
The light was not so dim but that I
could see a laughing light in his eyes.
"You have the right which the promise
of a chihl gives yon, 1 suppose," I replied,
somewhat annoyed by his light manner. It
was so little for him to say good-bye to me.
It was so much lor me to say good-bye to
him.
"A child iu years you certainly wcrp,
Mattie, but more of a w oman at heart than
thousands tw ice your age," said he. "Do
you know that you made a conquest of me,
little one, when you kissed me upou tho
terrace iu the darkness that night f"
"A conquest I" 1 said, startled.
"I carried that kiss away with mc," ho
replied. "1 love the remembrance of it ns I
did my life. I would not have parted with
it for all the wealth in the world, for it was
a sweet hope on which hung all my light of
tho future. The lips of 110 other woman
have pressed to mine since then. I said to
myself that, until I kissed another, your kiss
remained. Do you understand ?"
My eyes Were full of tears, but I tried to
smile.
"You were a sweet clild, Mattie," he con
tinued, "ami have grown into a sweet wonii'n
such a woman that I havo beeu waiting to
find that I might marry. Now I ask for that
promised kiss, and if you give it to inel bhall
take it for granted that you give mo yourself
with it."
Mr. Cheston was sure of what I had never
ncknow lodged to myself my lovo for him.
I felt in the confident clasp of his arm ; I saw
it iu the confident glances of his rye ; aud
content that he bhould read ihu heart of
which ho was so certainly the master,! acted
my simple self und gave him "Tho l'romucd
Kiss." '

Tut. Efkixt of Makm.xok. Doubtless
you have remarked with satiffaction how
the little oddities of men who marry rath

marriage. Y'oh have found a man who
used to bo shabbily and carelessly dressed,
with a huge shirt collar frayed at the edges,
and a glaring yellow silk pocket hanker

tiatron of neatness. Y'on have seen a man
whose hair and winaKers wero rniiouousty
cut, speedily become like oilier numnii
beiugs. You Stave seen a clergyman who
wore a long beard, in a little while without
one. You have seea a man who used to
sing ridiculous sentimental songs, leavo
them off. You havt. seen a man w ho took
snuff copiously, Kiid who generally had
his breast covered with snuff, abandon tho
vile habit. A w ile is tho grand weilder of
the modem pruning knife. If Johnson's wifo
had lived there would have been no hoard
ing up of bits of orange peel; no touching
alfthe posts in walking along tho streets;
no eating and drinking with disgusting
voracity. If Oliver Goldsmith had been
municd, he would never have worn that
memorable aud ridicjloti coat. Whenever
yon find a man whom you know little about,
nddily dressed and talking ridieuously, or
exhi'.'iling and eccentricity of inaneer, you
may be suru he is not a married man. For
