There is not a single store within four miles,

'Yes, one that w inexactly suit you ; were

'According to your description, it must be an
eiltftly Paradise. When shall we go?'
/Next Monday, if you. can be ready as soon

'1 could, if necessary, be ready before that

This allusion to Edward brought another
,blush to her chock, deeper than before.

that they were mistaken. by making some`nice

pains with them, and have succeeded pretty
well; I believe, till I came.to .thts buttonholes.

'I suspect you didn't begin right,' said Nary,
and so it proved. By carefully' following the
directions of of her instructress, her sixth but
tonhole, she felt sure, was quite .equal, if not
superior, to what Jane Horton, Ed ward's eldest

'So,' Thought Mary, as she listened to her re•
marks, and noted her earnest countenance, 'by

One woman, when compassionating her on
