DRIED BUTTEE3UP3.
I was looking over, the other day, a little
drawer in Cousin Carrie's writing-table.
afttr a letter of Kate Hamilton's Kate
Iluncan that was that shi had proniiwd to
show uie There were all sort" of treasnrea
in the drawer letters tied np with blue
ribbons, miniatures, locks of hair, trinkets,
and souvenirs innumerable. In .turning
them orer iu my search, I came across a
fanciful little box. made of carved sandal
wool, that looked as though it hid some
thinjr of preat value.
"May I open it, Carrie?"
-Yes."
There wa nothing in it but a bunch of
dried tutrercups, pressed on a piece of
Mack ppor.
'lVar me! is this all? What do you
irvn hero in. a box. for, Carrie?
he to-k the box from my hand, and
lo kvd at them thoughtfully.
''There is nothing in that drawer, Kate,
that I prixe as much as these buttercups.
I've kept thein in that box for two years."
''Of course, then, there, something in-taret-ting
about them if they are so precious,
an thereby hansrs a tale eh, Carrie ?"
"Yes, but more interesting to me than
to anyliody else, I faney."
"Uh, no 1 Stories about withered flowers
that are kept as souvenirs, are delightful
and romantic, always, aad I fee! ju.t like
h'-sring one n"w. Do tell nabout fheru."
I had to rxw: ever ?o Ion?, but at last she
eMisenfel; so I jut tf-e things back into
the drawer, and drew a seat c'oc up to
t'arric. where I eoul l watch her as she ta'k

inr at, and then she told me this story, just
a- I am cn'ng to tell it to you."
"About three years ago, Kate, mother's
h a'th wa so poor, that Dr. Field said she
Hiu-"t 5 to Cuba nothing but a warmer
citrate eo-t'J help her; so she ar.d father
w.-nt. and left uie with Aunt Lydia Merrill
wliile they were gone. She lives at Melton,
ina know. I had always lived in a large
ity, and it was a great change for me, for
Mcitim is about the amailest, quietest
little viilaee that ever was, and the society,
with the exception of one or two "famines,
worse than nothing. However, the Hfcsnery

the wa'ls and rides enchanting ; aud "Tlie
V-ti'l. ' Itliey would rail it a lake in Er.g
so beaariful, that it seems made on
mwsr !ir sailing parties. So after I had
g to Aunt Lydia, who, like most
Eiii.ien la lies that live alone, is rather prim
ar.J 'r-r.-iper' in her notions, I was quite
e,,fii, aud when Mary came, happy."
" Aatit Lrdia's house is so pleasant, Kate.
There's a piazza in front, w ith pillars almost
ld with sweet-brier and honey-suckle, and
great orchard behind the house, that
when the apple blossoms were out, was a
i n fect paradise ; and the trees all around
'. tm'y not so man7 but that the house was
f'Jil ot'sun-hinffa!! diy."
"lh)w I di'l luxuriate in the beauties of
t ature iLat sunuiicr ! Ynu needn't laugh,
Kate : it's a !-aeknoyed expression, bat it's
the very oe I wanted. I almost lived out
1 or. till I got to be as rosy and brown as
c.vu:itr- girl a real 'nut brown niayde,"
i 1 no mistake. I botanized , I went out
berrying ; I sketched, studied, and read, or
rtcn led to sew, out in the woods or down
the brock, rode horse-back, ' and, when

ikere was one drawback to' my harpi
a",f ' ,n'Jgh : there was not a girl in the
: se whom I cared to take as a friend,
151 15 'or beaux why, there was but one
i the place. Lsrael Parsons, aged about
One day, at dinner. Aunt Lydia quietly
Marked that Peter her man of all work
had ;u brought her a letter from Benjamin
frura the post office.
"Beijamin who?" said I, rather amused,
' the brother of Joseph ?"
' !Ls brother's name isn't Joseph," said
y Aunt ' simply ; it's SamueL Benjamiu
Resell yon know hiai, or used to. He's
a 'eeond cousin to you."
' "hat! Cousin Ben? W bat did you
fiy, Aunt?"
He is coming to Melton to stay three or
0Qr months, and is going to study law with
-J'e Mirot while he is here. Tie eau't
t lr the c:ty in the nimst. he ?av. and
as Melton is his. ideal of a country place, he
shall have a grand time to study, with noth
ing to lake his attention off ; and he wont
miss city society while you and I are here!'
''So he knows I am here, then," said I ;
"I am glad he's coming. I used to like
Ben ever so much."
''Yes, he is a very good-looking young
man, I should judge," said Aunt Lydia.
"I hope you will be polite tu him, Caro
line," "When Cousin Ben was thirteen, and I
ten or eleven, we had 'been fast friends
companions in all each other's frolics and
scoldings, inseparable generally. Then his
father died, and they moved to another city.
I hadn't seen him since, and the correspon
dence that begun so furiously, had died out
years ago, so that we were comparatively
strangers to each other.
"The idea of renewing our old friendship
was delightful, besides the pleasure of see
ing some person from the city. He was
going to board at Judge Minot's about a
mile or so from Aunt Lydia' s and wxs ex
pected in a week. I knew he would call to
see us as soon as lie came, and was impa
tient to know of his arrival. The week
passed, then a fortnight, and no Cousin
lien, and I made up my mind that he was
not coming at alL
"One beautiful morning. Aunt Lydia
akd me to go over to Mrs. Woodbury's
for her, on some trifling errand or other, as
Peter was busy and could not go : so putting
on my white cape bonnet. I went. It was
half a mile, but I thought nothing of the
walk. In coming home, it was so warm
that I decided to go through the woods,
which lay between Mr. Woodbury's aud
our house. I sauntered along .till I came
to a brook that run through the wood ;
where it was narrowest, a board had been
laid across for a bridge but it wa3 old, and
when I was in the middle of it, the treach
erous thing broke. The water wasn't deep,
not above my knees ; but I didn't care to
wade it, so a I felt the bridge breaking, I
managed to jump oa a large stone close by.
I stood balancing myself on it, trying to End
a way to get across, when I was startled by
a voice from the bushes near me humming
a tune, and then ia a moment I hcird the
xclamation :
"Why, blew me! here's the divinity of
the place ! What a charming attitude !"
"Whoever you are, I called out, I wLsh
you would help me across here."
"It's a pity to jspoil such a pretty pic
ture, said tne voice. bull I shall be
most happy to serve you. Wait but a mo
ment." "A piece of board soon made its appear
ance, and was laid with one end on th'st'jne
I was standing on, a;id the other on th-j op
posite side of the brook."
"Xow, then. Undine."
"I landed safely, with no other damage
than a pair of wet foot, an 1 a neat nurn ing
drews much splashed an I drabbled. I
thanked the bridge maker, who only shrug
ged his shoulders, and s.iid comically :
"It's fortunate for me that I came along
this way. I hope you will pardon me, but
I am ashamed with that bri lfc for breaking
just when it did."
"He was just going to walk away, when
he stopped, and said :
"If you really are not a water wraith, per
haps you can tell me where Mis Lydia
Merrill, live?' '
The thought flashad across me, and I
looked at him again.
"Cousin Ben ! is this you ?"
"Cousin Carrie ! ia it possible? Now this
is so delightful 1" and he grasped uiy hand
warmly. "How did you recognize mc ?".
"By the old saucy look in your eyes as you
spoke, and by your aking where Aunt Ly
dia lives principally by the first, though."
"Thank you '" and he lifted his cap and
bowed very kw. "I should Lever have
known yoc. I left you a little scraggy witch,
all angles, and great brown eyes, and now
you ve grown so ,
"Handsome," I broke in.
He laughed. "'o, rain. Bat how wet
you are, you will take cold. How I wish I
could change into a coach and six, for then
you wuuld leave me carry yoa home. As it
is, will you take my arm ? and we wiJi get
there as soon as we can."
By the time we reached Aunt Lydia's we
felt as much at ea&e together as if it hadn't
been a dozen years since we saw eaeh oUier
last. He stayed and dined with us. and I
was charmed to see how cozily he adapted
himself to her set ways, quite taking her
maiden heart by storm in so doing. The
staid dining room hsdn't rung with so much
merriment for many months, and Cousin
Ben and I rallied each other mercilessly.
yet aunt never once shook her head at nie,
or asked me to "try and be more dignified."
"Cousin Carrie," I interrupted, "you
have not told me how he looked. Was he
tail and handsome ?"
"He was tall, Kate, but I don't know
hether yoa would call him handsome or
not. There was a decided tascination about
his face I am sure of that and it was not
a common one. He had very light hair,
ith just the least curl in it, while his eyes,
which were large, were dark, almost black,
ith a laughing archness and sparkle in them
that was perfectly irresistible. There was a
most wonderful play of expression in Lis
face, and 1 never saw one that could change
so suddenly aad entirely as his. Then there
was a sort of careless elcganee and freedom
ia his manner that fascinates women always,
and comes only from mingling in society,
and a certain consciousness of one's power.
We suited each other exactly, and for the
future I had no reao!j to complain of want
of cor;'paBSinjh5p. It was astonishing low
! famously ws got on together, and how, be
cause we called each other 'cousin,' though
only second cousins, we felt at liberty to say
and do just what we chose. Being such old,
familiar friends, we declared that it would
be absurd to think of falling in love with
each other, and so there was no danger in
playing the agreeable, and having what we
should call io the city 'a des perate flirtation.
Cousin Ben's law studies proved rather a
failure, I'm afraid., for his time was other
wise taken up. We took long walks,' hunt
ing up specimens for my herbarium, sailed
on the pood, and took moonlight drives when
we felt romantic. A!mo3t every fine morn
ing Ecu's horse would come cantering up
the road and there was some reason why I
ought to go with him. If my cheeks were
redder than usual, he would sAy solemnly,
"Cousin Carrie, it really distresses me to
see you look so poorly. Perhaps I had bet
ter tell Peter to saddle your horse ; a ride
may do you good."
"When it was too warm to go out, we
read together, and Ben's superior culture
was an advantage to me that I appreciated.
Our readings generally ended in long talki
about everything, earthly and unearthly. In
the evenings we practiced duetts and songs
with cur heads over our music book, and he
learned to play the flute to please me. Some
times we would astonish good Aunt Lydia
by singing love songs to each other with an
amazing amount of expression, and when
she would look alarmed. first at one and then
at the other, through her spectacles, we
would go off in a perfect peal of laughter at
our own absurdity, and her wonder at our
performance.
"She was entirely mystified by our pro
ceedincs, and told me ones or twice, that
'the didn't approve of our going on. It
was in vain that I tried to explain to her
that we were merely having a platonic flirt
ation the most harmless thing, I assured
her, in the world."
"Platonic nensense! You need not talk
to me, Caroline, I know better. There is
no such thing."
"Do you know German, Cousin Carrie?"
asked Ben, as we sat sewing Aunt Lydia
and myself.
"Not a word of it, Ben."
"Then I think I must begin to teach it to
yoa. Don't you think I had better, Auut
Lydia?,
"Perhaps yoa had better teach her law.
Such hard study since you have been with
Judge Minot at Melton, must have render
ed you competent.",
"Very trr-e. Bat it might be best Io dis
cipline the mind first oti German," answered
Ben demurely. .
"i7e beg'ni it the n-st day.and the bursts
of hughtor that reached Aunt Lydia's ears,
as I undertook to pronounce the gutterals,
g;fe her occasion to remark that she was
not aware- before what an interesting study
Ocrritn was. I was never happier in my
life, thongh began to lse faith in that
mai-ic word 't'iaionic' and didn't let myself
think what Meltofl would be for me when
Ben was gone, and we sung no more love
songs together with 'expression.'
"One bright day we w.-Jked together,
laughing and talking as usual, he carrying
my portfolio, for I had teen sketching,when
he said: 'The Melton people can't under
stand us at all, Carrie. Do you know how
they talk about us?"
"What do they say?"
"O, all torts f things; that we have
been engaged for two years ; that we are to
be married next month, and the like. It
was only last night that Judge Minot told
me that he thought I loved yoa. and that it
was folly to eall it a flirtation."
'"And what did you say ?" I enquired,
for he wanted an auswer. -
"I didn't say anything; but I'll tcH you
what I thought, Carrie dial it was per
fectly true." - -
. "It came suddenly, Kate, that you can
not think how I- felt for a moment ! My
heart beat so loudly that you could almost
have heard it -and yet J was so glad and
happy. But I only drew my cape-bonnet
down, so that Ben could not see tay face,
and said :
"Well, and what then ?"
"O, nothing, only I should like to know
if you love me?" - -
"Are yoa really offering yourself to me,
Ben 1 Because if you are. I wish yoa would
kneel down, and do it in the real, novel
style."
"Certainly if yoa wish it. But it's dusty
here ; can you wait till we reach that gras3
there?" .
"O, yes! But did I not tell you that I
have always intended to refuse my first of
fer? I don't like to break my word."
"Very well; refuse me now, and when
we reach the aforesaid grass I will offer my
self again, and then yoa cwn accept me, fall
into my arms, and murmur yes !"
"I shall do nothing of the kind ; I shall
merely ask a week to consider in. "
"Bui, Carrie" this time without try
ing to conceal bis earnestness "yoa have
not answered my question yet"
"What question?"
"You know as well as I do, Carrie."
"Well, then, cousin Ben, go and get me
those buttereups, to prove that you are io
earnest, and I'll say yes !"
"We were walking past the only hill in
Melton, and away up the steep side I saw a
bunch tif buttercups in a crevice of a rock,
waving in the wind. I hardly thought that
he would take m at my word, for it seemed
barely possible to reach them; but quick
ad thought he darted from me and wad
clambering up the rocks. He reached the
buttercups.and as be did so turned to tue an
ar.-h look of triumph. I stood watchiug
Lim as be i g-ii to c-uit'. down , bat when
the descent was half made, a stone on which
be had planted his foot, rolled, aud I eaw
him fall to the bottom among the rocks."
"O, Ben, dear Ben, are you hurt ? O,
do speak to me?"
But there was no answer. I kneeled
down beside him. 1
'Oh, I do love him, and yet I hare kill
ed him ! Dear, dear cousin Ben, apeak to
me once more I And it was very foolish
Kate, but I put down my head and kissed
him.
As I exclaimed, "O, wht shall I do?
what shall I do? I saw a smile quiver round
hi9 mouth, and he opened his eyes aDd look
ed at me archly. He was not hurt he had
been deceiving me! I sprang to my feet
burning with indignation and shame; to
think that I had betrayed myself to him ;
and without one word I turned away with
the air of an injured queen, for I felt so, I
am sure.
"Now don't be angry, cousin Carrie,"
said Ben, springing up and coming to my
side; "I really didn't mean to frighten you
till you screamed and ran to me with such a
look of terror, and then an irresistable de
sire came over me to see if you really did
care for me."
"You have insulted me," I replied in
dignantly, "and yet you do not even ask
me to forgive you. or assume to be sorry."
"I do acknowledge that it was wrong, but
as to being sorry, Carrie," and he looked
me full in the face with a world of meaning
in his beautiful eyes "I would rather give
half my life than not had it happen as it
did !" Then he resumed his old rallying
tone, evidently not beleiving iu my anger,
while I walked on in dignified silence.
"Carrie, you do look like Mrs. Siddons
as Lady Macbeth, actually all but the
cape bonnet, which I think rather injures
the effect. Wouldn't you be kind enough
to take it off? No ! What a pity ! Your
mouth is suited perfectly to a pouting ex
pression, and it's a shame to hide it."
While we were' walking along, he had
been carefully arranging the buttercups and
shaking the dust from tho leaves, and now,
as we reached the gate before Aunt Lydia's
house, he held them out to me.
"Tli3 buttercups, Carrie, that yoa sent
me for. You know what your receiving
them was to mean."
I drew rxy band bac-k, saying, "I ahall not
take them."
nis manner changed instantly, and with
earnestness, and yet a quiet dignity that I
admired in spite of myself,. he answered :
"Cousin Carrie, you kaow that I love you
better than 'anything else on earth, but ift:
you wish to .let me know, by refusing the
buttercup?, that you do not care for my love
there is nothing more for me to say."
I was very ano'.and merely saying "you
may keep them," I opened the gate and
went in. wishing hiru baaghtily, "good
morning."
"What a turmoil tay mind was in that
night, Kate, as I sat at my . wiaow and
thought over all wc had said and done !
Sometimes indignation was uppermost, that
he had deceived me so, and heard my pas
sionate exclamations when he was lying
there, and that be knew that I had kissed
him. Then I would go orer and over again,
how he told me, and just how he looked and
his tone as he said it, and it thrilled me
with intense pleasure. By the next morn
ing aiy indignation had so far abated that I
made up my mind when Ben came to treat
him coldly at first, but if he should be very
penitent for his fault, perhaps I might for
give him in time. But he did not come. ;
"I suppose he thinks to punish me by
stiiyingaway to-day," I said to myself. ''
He did not come the next day, nor the
next, nor the whole week. How I wonder
ed at it, and listened to hear his voice every
time there was a kr.oek at the door, or a
footstep at the gate ; and how I mLved him!
There was no pleasure in going alone, and
there was no pleasure in practicing or study
ing, or doing anything without Cousin Ben.
Aunt Lydia could not account for his ab
sence at all ; only once she said to me with
curious look at ue over her spectacles r
"I hope, Caroline, that there has not
been any trouble between you and Benja
min?" "What trouble could there be?" I repli
ed, pretending to be amused at the thought
of such a thing. '
"Well, it's very queer! I should think,
he must be sick, if Peter hado't seen him
at the post office yesterday."
A fortnight, seeming to me two months,
passed drearily by. One evening I had
just come in from the garden, and was
standing listlessly on "the piazza, when I
heard a voice in the parlor that made me
start. It was Cousin Ben's. lie was talk
ing to Aunt Lydia, aad I could hear every
word they said through the open windows,
while I myself was hid by the curtins. lie
told her that he had come to the conclusion
that he had better leave Melton, and that he
was going in the morning, and had only
rome to take leave of her. Aunt Lydia
told him how sorry she was to have him go
away, and then I heard her ask him if he
had seen me. "No,"he said, and then he
hesitated. "I do not think she will
care about seeiag me before I go. Will you
bid her good-bye for me ?"
I could not bear anything" more. It
seemed as if there was something in my
throat choking me. " I turned away, sta
tioning myself by one of the pillars, where
I thought he could not see me, that I at
least might get one glimpse of him before lie
went away.
"I shall not see hirn again," I said to my
self, and I thought of that line in Kathleen
Mavourcen. that w bad so often saiJS to
"It may be for years, and it may be lorerer."
In a moment or two he came out, when'
jm-t as he waa stepping off the piazza, he
somehow got a glimpse of my dress. He
stopped and hesitated ; theu came up and
held out his hand.
"Good-bye, Cousin Carrie."
I was startled as I looked at him, and saw
the settled sadness and paleness of hw face.
"Good bye," I said.
He had turned to go away, when I called
to him quickly, "Cousin Ben."
He came back.
"I will take the buttercups. Will you
give them to me?"
He started, and you should have seen the
sudden flush of joy that lit up his face.
"Oh. Cousin Carrie," I interrupted, "I
am so glad. What did he do?"
"He took the flowers out of his pocket
aud gave them to me."
"Of course.' But is that all he did ?"
"No, Miss Kato Ware." said Carrie,
laughingly, "it was not all he did, but you
should not be so inquisitive. It is quite
sufficient for you to know that we were both
so happy that we staid out there talking for
a full hour. It is a wonder I didn't catch
cold, it was such a damp night. And theu
Ben had to hurry 'off to tell the stage driver
that be need not call for him ia the morning
as he had ordered him to.
"Aunt Lydia was astonished beyond eve
rything when I told her that Bon wasn't
going to leave Melton, and that we were en
gaged. But a3 soon as she had recovered
her equanimity she said she wasn't surpris
ed in the least, she knew how things would
turn out long ego."
"So your Cousin stayed at Melton as long
as yon dLL I em afraid there wasn't much
law studying after that," I said.
"That's because you dou't know Ben at
all. He began at once to study so hard that
he not only redeemed his character with
Judge Minor., but won from him the highest
praise, and the Drophccy that there was a
splendid future before him if he but went
on with the same earnestness. I was very
happr and very proud of him, though his
time was so occupied that I saw him but
little except in the evening ; but I knew hcl
was working for me, and desired distinction
only for my sake. When father and moth
er came home we were married ; and I have
never had reason to regret the time whea I
told Ben I would take the buttercups. Now
you kaow, Katfe, why I prize them so much."
A love sick swain, in order to" more fully
ascertain the mind of his lady love, closed a
letter with the following verse :
If you were a dog, and I was a hog,

Would you worry or bite very Lai d ?
An exchange says a sentiment so sublime
deserves an answer, and ventures to svppose
the lady's answer:
When I am a dog, and you are a hog,
A wandering from the sty,
I'll not breathe a bark, but merely remark,
Go it, porkie, root hog, or die.

"Oh!" replied the elder, "I have been
