"lOWA WO.II 3IY WIFE. ..lessie Hale was the Merriest, prettiest, most fvd,—Nroking daughter of Eve that ever existed—at e 3 and, t I thought so—tkongh perhaps I.was not an / impartial judge, as I must confess I was'decply in vc,—and, *Act, I don't believe I could re.; member of a time -when I was not in love with_ hei. It certainly was not when a youngster of twOvei took her ender my especial care, feeling thep prouder of, my curly headed charge than I could nowof a ,nurse of gold; nor when a tall, awkward boy of sixteen, I first ventured to ask foriher company home from church; or stilllater when, after four years absence, I returned to my, native town, and set up as a surgeon in the house where Dr. Moore's name had been since 'my ear liest recollection. - 8400,C03 I,OBBAB Qakplace was a remarkable place, or else the good people felta little afraid to trust their liYes in the hands of 'such a young scapegrace as they had known me to be, for my horse and gig found Mere employment in carrying Jessie Hale to ride thin in any more profitable business; and it is certain more of my time was.spent in Mr. Hale's pleasant parlor than in either study or practice of medicine. Sonie of the neighbors slyly remarked that I must hate a very sick patient there to.oc casimi such frequent visits; and I wak certain that if 1 had' no patient there, all the patience I ever had was required there at times; for of all the tantaliziffk little wretches that ever fakeinated and provoked a poor fellow—until he could pot hare told whether he were in the body or out of it—Jessie Hale was the worst. And there was I—William Trethailin r standing six ,feet two in my stockings, big enough to have known better; that is sure, led about by that little elf, coming and going at every beck and call, as if I were a great simpleton, as in truth I must have been, for after playing "yours most devotedly" for six months, I was no nearer - winning 'than at first. Qpen-hearted and candid she, wairon every other subject; but just let me speak of love or marriage, and I might as well talk to a stone wall, for all the sense I could get from, her. IZo matter how cautiouhly I might approach the sub ject, she was, always ready with some off-hand answer, as far from 'what I wanted maths equator from the poles, until I was almost in despair, bat more eager after every failure. "-All is fair in love.and a ar;" or at least I thought so, and re.: solved to try the result of strategy on my wilful little lady love. . - One fine morning, as we were about starting for'a ride on horseback, as I was assisting Itlis Jessie into the saddle, her horse commenced rear ing and kicking at an alarming rate; of course the jagged bits of iron that I had cautiously in serted beneath the saddle had nothing to do with' it. By thelime she was fairly, eated he had be come perfectly unmanageable, throwing her vio lently from the saddle . ; of course I caughther be fore she reached the ground. No sooner was she . in safety than, with a, deep groan, I staggered. beck aga inst the fence, my right arm hanging helplessly by my side. It took- nicely, for Jessie was beindsi me m a moment. -- • • "Oh, Will," she said piteously, "that terrible horse has broken your arm; and what Will you do I Poor t Virill! poor Will!" How like a rascal I, felt at sight of her distress; butl was not going to give up then; so answered, with another terrible groan— "lt is nothing, dear Jessie; I would suffer a thousand times more to feel that I have saved your. precious life. "But, oh, I am so sorry! What can be done for your she said in such touching accent that I half repented.' "The ead justifies the insane;" I thought. The end accomplished certainly did. My answer was in low, feint voice, as if I was dying— " Only tell me that you love me, Jessie, darling; it will soothe my pain more than anything else in the world." , And then, like the great simpleton that I was, I put that right arm around her, and never dits covered my 'mistake until she sprang suddenly away from me. "Wotildu't a little brandy and water do as well, hfr. Trecreaniner she said archly. • Wouldn't I have sold myself for a six-pence? But thth . e,was no help for it; so I bad to own the trick, and' went home wishing I had broke iny arm, or neck, I didn't care much welch.* After that, for A while, I was rather shy of the love soh jtiet, for I did nut fancy hearing of my last at tempt; but "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth.speaketh," and my heart Wag so full of love for Jessie Hale, that I could not force my tongue to keep silence very long. So one morn ing, after lounging' in my study until I was tired of everything--myself in particular—l went over the way, resolved that the matter should be de tided before I returned. Jessie was sitting by the parlor window, busily sewing, and humming shine merry tune, to herself when I entered. She was looking prettier than ever, I thought; and I found it terrible - hard to talk 'on eomniouplaee subjects, When my life was so full of the one so important to me. At last I broke iu upon seine of her careless nonesenso with-- "Why in the world, Jessie, don't you say whether you love me or not Whnt is the use of keeping a fellow in su,spense forever? I belike you do—in Met, I know you do," }Pre I was again waking a simpleton of myself. I might have known She never would have, told' me alter that, hut 1 did not understand woman kind as well then as I have doue since. "Oh! you do know, then, do you ?" she said, coolly, with a merry.twinkle iu her eye. "Then of course there is no need of my telling you." " No, I did not mean it, Jessie," I said pew'. teutly '"But do you love met will you answer me, vs. or no?" " Yes,or no," she answered demurely. "Oh,. Jessie Hale," I exclaime d impatiently, " you will - drive me crazy." "A terrible misfortune, surely," she, said with a laugh, throwing down her work and stepping through the low window uponthe lawn. " Now Will, I will tell you what I rcill do if you will promise never to plapie me again about this." " I will tell you what I will do if you will only give me an honest answer," I said eagerly. " then, if you catch me before I reachthe elm tree, I will give, you a candid answer, upoif my honor." I thumped my head against the window-sash, and away I went over the green sward with ten times more eagerness than I , ver displayed in playing catch in my boyhood days. A very dig'r nifted proceeding, truly, for a staid surgeon. a, ; the gossips , in Oakplace would have held up their hands in pious horror had they seen me then; but I did not- care if half the world saw me, so intent was Ton,catehing that flying gipsy ; and notch her I did, before she was half way, to the old elm.
