The Bride.
Emma had wheeled the sofa in from of
the fire. and as Charles seated ltitnsell he
‘_‘side her lie was certainly a happv fellow.
i Alas! he had as yetonly drank the bubbles
on the cup. Emma Inoltetl lovely. for the
glow of the warm coal lire had given hloont
to her usually pale cheek. uhtrh heighten
ed the lustre of her dark eyes. But there
came a shade of thought oter Emma's
hrow. and her husband instantly remarked
it, it is strange how soon husbands see
clouds ""57 their liege ladics' browa. It
was the first that Charles ever saw there,
and it excited his tender Inquiries. Was
she untrellL—ditl ’ she wish for anything?
limma hesitated. she blushed and looked
«‘onfttsetl. Charles pteesed to know what
had east such a shadow over her sptrils.—-
' I fear von will thtnk me very silly; bttt
Mary French has been sitting “ith me this
afternoon.’ ‘ Not that, certainly,’ said
('.hatles. smiling. ‘O. i did not mean
that, but you know we begun to keep house
about the same time. only they sent with
Mr. Brent to New York for carpeting.———
Mary would have me walk domn to Mr.
Brent's store this evening, and he has hro'ti

hit his lip ' Maty.’ she contintted, °said

she was sure you would never let that odi—
ous ,VVilton lay in the parlor, if you only
once saw that splendid Brussels—so rich
and so cheap—only seventy-five dollars?
Now, the ‘ odious “'ilton’ had been se
lected by ‘Charles' mother and presented to
them. and the color deepened on his check
as his animated bride continued —‘ Suppose
we walk down to Btent‘s and look at it;
there are only two, and it seems a pity not
to secure it.’ . Emma.’ said Charles,
gravely. ‘ you are mistaken ilymt suppose
my business willjnstify extravagance. It
will be useless to look at the carpet, as we
have one which will answer very well. and
it is perfectly new.‘ Emma’s vivacity filed.
and she sat awkwardly ptcltiug her nails.
Charles fol: embarrassed—he drew out his
watch and put it back, whistled, and final
ly e‘pyinga periodical on Emma’s table.
began to toad aloud some beautiful verses.
His voice was well-toned, and he soon en
tered into the spirit of the writer and forgot
his embarrassment. when, looking into
Emma’s eyes, how was he surprised, in
stead of the glow of sympathetic feeling he
expected to‘m'eet, to see her head benton
her hand. evident displeasure on' her brow.
and a tear trickling down her check.
3 Charles was a sensible young man—l
wish there were more of them—and he re
flected a moment before he said. ‘ Emma,
my love; get ‘your bonnet and cloak an.
and yell: with-ms, if you please.’ Emma
looked as ifsho would i ltlte to pants ltttlew _
longer; but Charles said ‘come’ with such
gravity on his countenance that Emma tho't
proper to accede; and not doubling but that
it fled to purchase the carpet, took his arm
Villa's-mile of triumph. They crossed
several strootstnthe direction of Brent’s,
,tlntil stlsst they stood before the door of a
miserable tenement on a back street.»-
