Her delicate form, large, beautiful eyes of light hazel, her brown hair, nearly approaching flaxen, need ed not the cherry mouth, nor the complexion like the sunny side of a peach, to set her down at once "as a beauty . Then her man ner, too, was so soft, eo insinuating, tbat you could not choose but love her. She had mar ried, at her father's command, a man whom she highly esteemed, if she did not love him with a young girl's romantic furor, and vhose sudden' death had left her with an infant daughter, and a competency, alone in the world at the early age of twenty-one. Many offers of marriage had already been refused by her, although she never asserted she did not iatend marryiDg again. Jeannie Martin, her husband's young eis ter, was now on a visit to her; she resided with her aunt, Mrs. Empton, and from her gay. cheerful disposition, had rendered her self a favorite with every one of their social circle. The plot discovered by Ellery was not entirely revealed by Jenannia to her sister-in-law st bed time; although she obtained from her the somewhat reluctant promise of allow ing her to personate the widow for a few days the farce begining tho next morning, with an excursion planned to the country. I do not ask you to fib, sister Juliette," said the merry girl, 'only not to unmask me. I wish to tease that young fellow, somehow or other, for a pretty little speech of his that Lad come to mv cars. "But I will not lend my aid in the least, if any one will be injured by your frolic, said Mrs Martin. "I beg you not to frighten yourself the slightest." returned Jeanuia. "No one I assure you. can be harmed." Well only for a few days. Jeannia. I think, however, you should let me into fhe secret, when you take my name." "No! no! bide a wee," said Jeannia. "I will promise you a merry laugh one of these days, for its use " Thus ended their conversation. The next morning Ellery came before breakfast, to beg leave to biing a friend to take the fourth seat in their carriage; which was the more reaJily granted, as Mrs. Empton had already started with little Annie Martin and the es sentials to where the pic nic was to be held. Dear old Mrs. Empton: she was certainly the nicest old lady on earth for a pic nic; al ways ready to attend to that most necessary part the "eatings;" but, withal, so deaf, that never a wcrd did she hear, unless shouted through her ear-trumpet. About ten of the ladies were awaiting their beaux. Ellery soon arrived, and oh,, 'mir ahile dictuV aceompauied by Shirley, whom, by some powerful eloqaonce, he had pressed into the service. In the hurry of seWingout and misled also by Ellery's discription, it is uot to be wondered at if he mistook Jcan naie for the widow, whilst the girlish looking blonde answered his own idea of Miss Martin. He therefore, true to his prejudice, left to Ellery the task of entertaining her the wid ow with the merry black eye whilst he was himself enjoying the bewitching smiles and sweet-toned warbling of his fair vis-a-vis, Ju liette.

They found Mrs. Empton "on hospital thoughts intent," buisj in setting out their dinner to the best advantage; whilst near them lay the little cherub Annie, fast asleep, Shirley the more readily answered the question. "Did you ever see such a lit tle beauty; trom it3 supposed mother, as he imagined he detected a striking resemblance to Juliette, who was kneeling to kiss the soft lips of the sleeping babe, and his look and tone would have satisfied the fond heart of any mother, as he replied, "she is an angel!" ap.d also, sta'd jto kiss, her lips. -.. Ellerv and Jennie seemed determined to enjoy each other's society far that day at least; and thus Juliette and Shirley were thrown upon their own resources. Thoy, however, appeared well content, for he told her of all his adventures "by flood and field," whilst she was almost ready to exclaim with the gentle Desdemoaa, "that she loved him for the dangers he had passed. What a delightful day it was to all, and esDeciallv to Shirlav! The dinner, though plain, appeared to him delicious; and what laughs the absence of many conveniences caused ! How beautiful did Juliette seem in his ej-es, as she held the little Annie in her lap. feeding her from her plate, though beg ged by hr sister not to tease herself with the child, but to give her to the nurse. Shirley could not refrain sharing with the dear child some of the daiuty pate to which his neighbor had helped him. "There, there! that will do, Mr. Shirley, I beg you wilTnot give her any more, carry her away, Lucy, or these good people will kill her with kindness." Thus was she borne off. notwithstandinjr her cntreates to stay with momma." Shirley had another fault to set down against the widow her thoughtless-unconcern towards her beautiful child as she sat smiling, chatting, flirting so carelessly with Ellery, whilst Juliette went away occaisoaally to see if the little ono was properly attended to. About sunset they set out on their return, and the drive was as delightsul aa the mor ning ramble, as they watched the early stars peeping forth, andhe listened to tones that to him were swe?t as tlie rippling music or the summer rills.

But good evening; I must go and make myself killing; for besides the widow, there will be lots of pretty girls at Mrs. Empton's to-night, and I always for the honor of the 'buttons look handsome. This conversation was held at Shirley s room, wnere ne was sitting, laxuy impiuua ing on the guitar, when bllery gave the invitation. Though not a woman hater, as his frieod had stated, yet from his retiring habits he did not seek the society of ladies u hen released from official duty, he prefered enjoying himself with books, music and male friends, and thus induced some oi his brother officers to bestow upon him the cognomen of woman hater. Where is the friend vou nromised to brine?" inquired Mrs. Martin of Ellery. "I must confess I have quite a curiosity to be hold Lieutenant Shirlev after all vou have been telling me ot'hitn."

"Tell me, too, Mr. Ellery," said a young lady about twenty, who approached and whse merry eye- betokened a kindred spirit to his own. "Tell me, too, and I will answer for it that sister Julette enters heart and soul into your plans, whatever they may be." "I shall be a thousand fold indebted to you. Miss Jeannie," said Ellery. "Well now for my plot, or rather the outline of it, if you will accept my arm to lead you to that cozy seat: for I must confess I should like some i woman wit to perfect my ideas." "None of your plots and conspiracies for me: I'll have uoce of them." said Mrs. Mar- J m had already nassed he be ean to think the widows sister at least narticularlv interesting. At mis cris- . .. - ... - the sudden stODDace ot the carriage, anu the hurried exclamation of the driver of 'open the door, Mr Ellery, quick, please, and let th ladies out!" showed that something was amiss. The widow screamed as she clung to Ellerv's arm; and even at that time, Suir lev could not but admire the calmness of the beautiful Juliette, for she bad beard ncr can ed, aa she endeavored to soothe her sister. It was found that one of the horses had got one of his feet over the trace, and was already rearing and plunging, so as to make the car riage very unsafe. After some trouble in ex tricating him; but as both the horses continu ed very unruly, the ladies proposed walking to their destination, bo forth they set, en route; the widow, pro, tem., on the arm of Ellery, and Juliette following with Shirley, chatting and laughing. Insensibly Shirley s conversation with his fair companion took a deeper tone, for their path led through a thick forest, where the tall stately trees, use piuars in some oiu uai lowed minster, shed their peculiar fragrance on every passing breeze that swept through thpir Rhade. Kllerv- and h's ladv were iar j ahead. Shirley' felt surprised at himself, at feeling such a tender sentiment springing from his heart, for the fair young creature leaning so confidantly on his arm in the depth of the forest. "How glad I am.'' soliloquoised he, 'that tho widow did not fasten herself on me instead of her enchantiag sister; for jaking aside, they are always bo exacting, and by no means dependent. There is certainly an exquisite charm in the timid reserve of his fair Juli ette. Methinks I shall begin to play Romeo in very truth; for I wish even now that I might be a glove upon that hand, so that I could kiss her cheek." And Juliette, to juJge from the bright Then the evening was as happy for him as the whole day Ltd been; for the ladies insisted that their escort should enter and spend it with them. When the tea was handed round Shirley had the extreme felicity of putting cream into Juliette s enp, and better still, ot sitting near her for several hours. Then, too when tea was over, she was his antagonist at cheES, and be looked with delight on her taper fingers, looking still whiter by contrast with tho red pieces she moved so daintily and skillfully over the board. Her delightful voice was still lingering on his ear as he clos ed his eyes in sieep, for no other train of thought bad broken the enchantment. His friend and himself did not talk much as they wended their way home that night; but Shirley was not quite so monrose as to decline his friendks invitation, given at part ing, "what say you to calling on the ladies to-morrow, to 8&5" if they have recovered from their fatigue?" The uext day they did in deed call, and paid them an unconscionable visit if one can trust Miss Henderson's ac count, who lived opposite, and who actually lost the whole morning, peeping through the blinds to see when thoy would leave. And the next day, and again the next, Shirley had an ever ready excuse for calling To day it was "I must take those drawings 1 promised ; at other times 'l have a piece of music which I must take," or a new book; till at last, grown bolder, he made no excuse at all, but visited there quite en familie or to use the prying neighbor's expression, as she watched with envious eyes the commiugs and goings of the handsome lieutenant "he had . hung up his hat thero for a dead cer taiuty " One morning he sat with his friend Ellery it was two weeks since the opening of this story in the same room, and his face was not IRtlesj as then, but wore a pre occupied and rather troubled look, as turning with a sigh to his friend, who was watching the wreaths of smoke curling over his head from his cigar, he said "Ellery ! what do think will be my chance for success with Miss Martin?" "Miss Martin t replied Jllery, with a nrovoking smile, as he knocked the ashes from his cigar deliberately against his boot, "why, to be plain with you, my dear fellow, 1 think vou have but a slight chance. Take my advice far better try the widow." "Oh! hang the widowl" exclaimed Shir ley. "But. jokeing aside, why do you think so? She appears to like me; and, without vanity I may be considered Handsome and agreeable enough for any girl with an unoc- the same,' as the old saying has it, and I really believe she has a faDcy for you." He did not stop to hear his friends answer, us he left the room with a laugh. Shirley continued his walk now rappidly, then stop ping, again fast till be came to a dead halt in front of the window. "Impossible! There is no truth in this world if it exist not in Juliette Martin. I have heard her express an opinion of Ellery, and even laugh at him, which no women ev er does at the one she loves. I will go. by George, and ask her indeed. If 'tis true, then I will never trust womaukind again. And walking to the glass he brushed his dark locks as carefully as ever did one of the weaker sex, and then, taking his gloves and hat, he started for Mrs. Empton's. His own heart was thumping as loud as the old fashionad knocker to his nervous rap, as he stood on the door-step. He was ushed into the comfortable parlor, where the fun's rays ame slyly in through the closed blinds, Dlavinr- hide and seek with the roses of tne carpet, and where the red glowing light from the fire fell upon the bright face of Juliette, as she Fat on a low ottoman, playing with the curly-head Annie, whose silvery laugh was echoed by the mellow, cheerful one of the mother. There was no one else in the room. After the morning salutations, Shirley said, "Has not Ellery been herei," "Yes," she replied, "he and my sister are out visiting." Shirley moved his chair closer to the low ottoman. "Excuse me," he said; "if I ask you one question, and do not, I beg, deem me impertinent: I entreat you to answer me frankly, for I assure you my whole earthly happiness depends on your answer. Are you really engaged to Ellery?" "Who! I, Mr. Shirley? You must Ve dreaming," said Juliette, and she opened her large dark eyes still larger in her surprise, her face and neck coloring deeply as she meet his glance.
