" Godfrey, old boy," said lionry. Clayton, as lie tilted his chair back, and put his feet upon the mautlepiece, " when is the wedding to be?" • "Whose wedding?" " Miss Laura Somers, or Jenny, which is it?" " I don't know, sure." " Now don't be mysterious, Godfrey; you know you are a mast constant visitor, and all our set aro talking about the match. Don't pretend you have not seloeted one of the sis• tors." "How do you know thol &titer of thorn will nvo'rno ?" " Don't be, absurd, old boy. You, young, handsoino, talented, and with a large fortune, need not be over bashful. Come be frank, which is the favored sister?" "Pell, frankly then. Henry,. I cannot tell you. I have visited the family for several months, as you know, but I cannot decide.— Laura is certainly the handsomest, with her black flashing eyes and queenly manner ; but Jenny seems, although the youngest, to bp the most womanly and useful of the two. Yet, I cannot be sure of that. My entrance is the signal for cordial welcome and smiles, and let me call at what hourl will, they are always well dressed, and apparently disengaged. To be sure I always, in the morning, have to wait some time before Laura is visible." - " Pop in unexpectedly and notice the inter nal economy." • " How can I ? A card at the door will put any lady on her guard, or oven the notice of a gentleman visitor." "Go there in disguise. As a washwomon, for instance." " Good! I will !" "t Go there as a washwoman !" cried Clay- " Not exactly, but I will obtain adittance o a morning's privacy." " Well, lot MD know the result." Laura and Jenny Somers were the only children ofd widower, who, although in mod erate circumstances, moved in very fashiona ble society. Atathe period my orthort sketch. he was about to supply the lamented Mrs. Somor's place, after nearly ton years mourn ing, and, although a kind, indulgent father, had no objections to his daughter's 'marriage, and, indeed he had told them so. Laura, whose high spirit .resented' the probable su premacy of a step mother, had already select od Godfrey Horton as her future husband, and Fanny, who was younger and gentler in spir it, tried to conquer a carefully concealed pref erence for the same person. All his atten tions were ascribed, by her, to brotherly re gard, though every, act of kindness or cour tesy touched hor very heart. It was the morning after a large ball and the sisters more in the breakfast room togeth er. Laura, her glossy . black hair pushed neg ligently off her face, with the rough fumbled braids of last evening's elaborate coiffure gath ered loosely comh;. swearing a soiled wrapper, torn stockings, and presenting rath er an alarming contrast to the brilliant ball= room hello, was lounging on a sofa. Jenny. in a neat morning dress, with a large gingham apron, little white collar, and hair smoothly brushed into it neat knot, was washing the breakfast dishes. These is an old man at the door with some artificial flowers," said the servant, opening the dining-room door, "will you see him? " No," said Jenny. "Yes," cried Laura, "send him up." In a few moments the old man came in. He was poorly clad, with a CORI'S° blue cloak, which was much too large for him. His hair was white, and lie wore a heard and mous tache or the snowy hue. Making a low how, he placed the large basket he tarried on the tal?le, and opened it. " I have a bunch of blue flowers here," he said, taking them from the basket, "that will just suit your golden hair, Miss, and he held them before Jenny." "It was my sister who wished to look, k your flowers," said ninny quietly. "Yes, bring them here," was Laura's inglo rious command. The old men's eyes followed Jenny, as she washed, wiped and put away the dishes, swept the room, an Misted it, and then sat doWn be side Laura, who was still looking over the basket. "See, Jenny, this scarlet bunch. Will it not be lovely with a few dark leaves to wear with my new silk' " "But," whispered - Jenny. " .you can't afford it just now." " Yes, i eim. Father gage me some money :vosterthiv." "To pay the last dry goods bill." Well T can have that carried to my pri vate account." "Oh! Laura ; I hate to hear you talk 'of that private. account. It seems so mulch like cheating father:" ." Nonsense? It Will stand till 1 urn married, did then I. can easily save it out ur my house keeping money." I shouldlot like to marry in debt," said Jenny. 'ruin rill peddler loc,ked earnestly at the sis- I=l You better 'take this blue hunch, Miss," he.enid to Jenny. "If it ain't convenient to ray for it now, 1 will call again." " No, I shalt m - t take them." " They are-very *coining, Mixing with the glossy golden hair, tied setting off Jenny's dazzling complexion." " I wish my hair was light," said Laura. "I should like to wear blue. Godfrey Hor ton saidlast night, that forget-me-nots were his favorite flowers." Jenny colored, and placing the hunch again in the basket, Said : "Come, Laura, decide. You are kbeping one waiting whose time probabiyis valuable," then passing a chair, she added, "he seated, sir, you look tired." " I am tired, indeed," was the reply. "I will take this scarlet hunch, and these rod camelias and this white cluster," said Laura. "But, sister, you cuntiot afford it." " Yeg, I can. Godfrey Horn in rich." • The old man bit his lip. " Think," said Jenny, in a low tone, " if' you love him, how much it will grieve him if: he should discover it." " Nonsense ! Well, I'll toll you how to rem edy it. Lend me some money not of the house keeping funds." • " So, thought the old man, she is house keeper. Miss Laura gave me to understand that was her post." " Laura! Steal\front my father !" Then don't preach." "Miss Jonny,'t said a servant, entering nt that moment, " the dinner has come.,' Jenny left the room, and Laura still turned over the gay flowers, while the old man point ed out their Various beauties, his oyo in the meantime running over the disordered hair, shabby dress, and lazy position, whilst 'he mentally contrasted them with Jenny's neat attire. " Not decided yet 2" said Jenny, returning after a short absence. " No, Come here," " I can't ! Father has sent home a calf head, and I am afraid to trust it entirely to Marga ret. I must superintend the dinner, make a pudding, and the parlor must be dusted, and there is my white mull() to be finished." "Before I would he the drudge you are !" cried Laura. " Drudge! I have plenty of time for omplo'y ment and father cannot have a comfortable house, if some one does not superintend these things. When 1 marry you may do it," and she laughed merrily. As if I should not marry first !"said Laura. " There, I have chosen all I want." " Shall I call for the change ?" said the pedlor. " I Shall be happy to put. the Miss Somers on my list of customers." „ Yes, call again.” So the pedler stood up. his basket,L . -walked home, threw aside his wig, board, and disguise and wrote an offer of his hand and heart to Miss Virginia Somers which was accepted . Laura Somers has two seources of profound speculation: One is, " Why did Godfrey Hor ton purpose to Jenny instead of. me ?" The other, " I- wonder why that old man never called to be paid fur thoes exquisite flowers?" MYSTERY or KISSING.—Depend upon it, a kiss is it. great mystery. There is many a thing we know that we can't explain, still we are sure it is a fact for all that. Why should there be a sort of magic in shaking hands, which seems only a mere form, and come times a painful one,-koc4—for folks wring your fingers almost off, and make you fciirly dance with pain, they hurt you en. It don't give much pleasure at any time. What the magic of it is we can't tell, but so it is for all that. It seems only a custom, like bowing, and noth ing else! Still there is more in it than meets the eye. But a,kiss fairly electrifies you; it warms your blood, and sets your heart beat ing, like a bass drum, and makes your eyes twinkle like stars in a frosty night. It is a thing never ter be forgotten. No language can express it ; no letters will give the sound.— Then what in nature is equal the flavor of it E , Whitt an aroma it has! How spiritual it is! It lit' not gross, fir .you can't feed on It is neither visible nor tangible, nor portable, nor transferable. It is neither n . substanect, nor a liquid, nor a vapor. It has neither col or nor form. Imagination can't conceive it. It can't ho itnitated'or prod. it is coutlbed to no clime or country,:hut übiquitous. It is disembodied when completed, hut is instantly reproduced, and is so immortaj. It is Its old as the creation, and yet wiyoutigilnd &will as ever. It pre-existed, still exists, and always will ex ist. It pervades all nature. The breeze as it passes kisses the rose, and the pendant vine stoops down and hides with tendrils Its:blush es, as it kisses the limpid stream that waits In the eddy to meet it and raises itA tiny Wayetk like anxious lips to receive it. Depend uphii it, Eve learned it in Paradise. How it is adapt ed to all circumstances ! 'Flier° is the kiss .o welcome and of parting, the long-lingering, lov ing, present one, the stolen or the mutual ono; the kiss of love, of joy and of sorrow; the seal of promise, and the receipt of fulfillment. Is it strange, therefore, that a woman is invinci whose armory consists of kisses, smiles, sighs, and tears? A Slum—Nothing on earth smiles but Man. Gems may flash reflected light, but what is a diamond-flash compared with an eye flash and a mirth-fraelt ?-4"lowers cannot smile Birds cannot smile, nor any other lk;ing thing. There is a charm which oven they cannot claim. It is the prerogatiVe of man. It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulneSs and joy —these three. It is the light in the window of the thee, by which the heart signifies to the father, husband and friend that is at home and waiting. A face that cannot smile is iike a bud that cannot bloom and dries .up on the stalk. Laughter is day ; Sobriety is night, and a Smile is twilght. that hovers between— more lovely than either. But all smiles aro not alike. The cheerfidness of vanity is not the smile of love. The smile of gratified pride is not like the radiance of goodness and truth. The rains of summer fall alike on all trees and shrnbs ; but when the storm passes, -and every leaf hangs drooping, a gentle puff of wind brings something of the nature of the leaf or blossom on which it hung. The road Ride loaf yeilds dust, the walnut leaf to bitter ness, some flowers poison while the grape blossoms, and the rose and sweet brier lead their aroma to the twinkling drops, and send them down perfumed. And so it is with smiles which every heart perfumes according. to its nature. Selfishneis is acid ; pride is bitter good will, sweet and fragrant. • gerMan's riches are to be.esteemed rather by the fewness of hie wants' than the greatness of him possession. :i.+.-r.;^r. ~,"':v
