'If you' marry that girl brother Tom,
I'll have nothing to do with her. I won't
visit her, nor call her sister, nor speak to
her!"
And Lizzio Dawton put on as outraged
and indignant an air as it was posible for
her to assumo.
'What's the objection ?" asked Tom in
bis cool way,Gxing bis largo calm oyos up
on tho pretty face of bis sister, as she at
uneasily swaying half around and back
again on the pinna stool.
'Objection !" The young lady's cherry
lip curled. 'Who is she '( What is she ?'
'A swcet-teinporcd, true-boarted young
woman, who will make mo a good littlo wile
Are you not answered, sister mine?'
'A sowing-girl !' raid Liziie, contempt
uously.
'What ottr mother was, as I have been
told .before her marriano,' answered broth
cr Tom. 'And, if my eyes havo not de
ceived me, sho has been a sewing woman
since my recollection of her.'
'That's another thing,' said the sister.
Mother was superior to her clas?, and has
ricen abo7e it.'
'Suppose I answer your objections to
Harriet, and say that she is superior to her
class, and will rise above it? What then !
Jly father made a good matrimonial veu-
tu'ro, and I may do the same.'
'Dut why, brother Tom,' urged the sis
ter, 'don't -you choose a wifa from among
those on your own levol?'
What do you mean by those on your
own level ? Let us underotand each other.'
From among those who move in ourowu
circle. From the educated. retined and ac-
lomplisred.'
'Such as the Misses Wallons, for in
stance'
'Yes, or the .Misses EdenB,'
'Whose father supports them iu idle
ness, and expect thu young men who mar
ry them to do the same. Now Lizzie,the
fact of the business is, I like Mary Eden
very well, and once canto so near falling
in love with ber, that I was really fright
ened. I did not go near ber nretty face
ai;ain for tix months after I felt the lirts
movement of the tender passion.'
'Dear Mary ! O, Tom '. why not marry
her! I could love ber as my own tisUr.'
'Can't afford it, pretty, I'm but a pon
young.man, aud have only my talents and
ludustry to help me forward in the world.
Mary can't do anything berself.and would
xpect me to put her iu an establishment
but littlo less costly than the one ber fath
er OIVD.1,'
'Oh, but, Tom there'll bj no necessity
for going to housekeeping at first. And
then, you kuow,her f.itlior is well off in the
world, anil he'll give ber a house, aud furn
ish it, no doubt, when shu is married.'
U.it Torn shook his head.
'Mary Eden's father may or may not
bo rich,' he replied. 'My own private
opiuion is, that bo is living up to, if not ,i
liltlo beyond bis income. And as to the
house and furniture which Mary 's husband
is going to get, tint h tfoiiiothiug very line

'Preposterous I exclaimed Lizzie.
'You'll cry boiiiu other word when you
get on the old maids' list, and sec your
place filled in the hi nic of foiuo man that
is a man by a woman who wn not asham

Major appeared to study for a moment,
then abruptly proposed a gamo of ''old

daughter Fanny against tho crop of wheat.
This of course tLo young man indignantly
rcfuscdibecaupo ho could not bear the idea
that tin band of her loved should be made
tho subject of a bctj; or that ho should
win a wife by gambling ".for her ; and
perhaps because he knew the old man was
hard to bent, and there was a strong prob
ability of losing both wheat aud wifo.
It was not until tho Mnjor, with bis
ufual obttinaney, hnd sworn that unless
ho won her ho should never have her,that
the young man was forced reluctantly to
conoiit to play.
Tho tablo was p'acd, cauiilc3 lit, tho

tho butterflies who lounge on sofas all day

maidiaui. And now, as in all probability
you understand that I am in earnest about
marrying Harriet Parker, I hopo you will
reconsidered ycur hasty resolution ab.iut
not t'peaking to your sister-in-law. Tho
lo?j, let me toll you, will be all on your
own eide.'
Brother Tom understood his own posi
tion entirely. IIu was uot a man to
sto.ip below hinifclf iu marrying. He
could not unite himself with one who was
ignorant and unrefined againt that his
generously cultivated soul would have re
volted. Dut he wanted a real, not an ar
tificial, woman one who could take her
place bo tide him. as he said on tbe lowest,
round of for'uue's ladder, and keep step
with him upward, fuch a one he had
found iu Harriet Parker, and he was
independent enough to make her bis wife.
Lizzie soon discovered , after her broth
er Tom actually got inariied aud com
menced bousckseping in two room, with
his modest, cheerful, carueat-minded wife,
that her now sister about ber something
that insensibly won tho love, commanded
the respect and almost extorted tbe admi
ration of ail who were so fortunate as to
mako her acquaintance.
