Ann Warren, why ditrnt you knew supper was ready long ago?' "I'm coming in a moment, mother," answered Ann tel herday-dreams, minding bar treasure hurriedly, she paused to make a slight addition to her toilet lip smooth ing her hair. While she is absent let us employ our in turning over a leaf or two in her post history. Ann Warren is the only daughter of a New Hampshire farmer, who had slowly accumulated a comfortable fortune despite the' draw-backs of early poverty, and a rooky soil, for by no poetical license can we 'sy,eak of ft-rtile meadows, so called by covey.-peon a hill-side. If he had earn ed his dollar hardly, he knew bow to keep them. Itpantiot therefore be su pposed, that either he or his ' thrifty spouse would prepose a love match for the ir only daugh ter with William Bradley, Who had neith er money nor expectations, while Dr. (it-veiniest - 8 only son had professed an en tire willingness to marry her at once, if he could but obtain her consent. There were pret'lty girls in the village, who wondered at Ann Warren's taste. The dashing, rat tle-breined, black eyed Greenleatehanneill those who could see nothing remarkable in the modest dignity of William Bradley's derbeanor. After the usual method had beep pursued by William's falling so me eipeetedly and desperately in love with Ann, that he must needs consult her upon the subject, they bethought themselves of acquainting her father and mother of the fact.

Thus his thoughts hurried' from Ruby and Mercy Warren, whose names and ages be had so often spelled off the gray_panite slabs in.. boyhood, back t the pallid Ann, whose blue veined fore d and colorless cheelt tose in sad con t beside the blooming picture of his Ares of one brief year ago.

Evidently William was too proud to open any door of communication, yet he could not go back leaving his er rand undone. He resorted again to the convenient common-places of conversation, a little nearer the mark this time. "They say your'e doing well down there." William briefly stated the wages he al ready received, with the promised increase if he remained another year. "Batter than fanning, a good deal," re rillettl'hontas. "Well, I'm sure I'm glad of it. I always wished you good luck, though you may have thought different." "I never blamed you," answered Wil liam, coldly, relapsing into silence, as he felt the force of this indirect allusion, Nothing but a dogged determination to accomplish his object could have brought 'Thomas Watren out. lie had been can dowdy trying his ground until he saw that .William was unapproachable.

Will your father ?" "Father," interrupted Thomas vehe mently, "he just begins to see what he has done. He wouldn't have you go back to Lowell for any money, if he want afraid to say so. You call round to-night and talk with him, won't ye! And Thomas hurried away in earnest this time. It was well for both that they were alone with their emotions, * What we all know of Ann's history will account for her recovery, and explain. as far as words may, her happiness, as letters, neither few nor brief, kept her faithfully informed of other matters, more interest ing to Annwidoubt, which dri noaeoreciail ly concern us.
