"Uncle Joseph, will you see to the luggage ?" 'Certainly, madam," I replied. 1 always called my brother's second wife, 'madam ; we never fusrreled, but each thought that the other was the most dis agreeable person in the universe ; and as we each knew what the other thought, it may be imagined our intercourse was not a very cordial kind. I did see to the luggage, and then .took tickets for the party lor the York Express by the Great Northern Rail way. j Fortunately we had a compartment to ourselves, that is, Mr. Web.-tor, my niece Clara, and myself. 'Clara, my dear, you look as ill as you can link ; no ono would think, that to.monow was your wedding day. "Do I look ill, iimtiia ?'' said Cl(.ra ' dteaui ly "YtM. my no-iir, nnd wretched too.

"Why. it was one of the erudition, Mr. Vehslci, that ho Mlouid not write," I exclaimed. Clara said noiliing. but looked her thanks at her old utiele. "However I'nclo Joseph, ho ought to have come back and taken his dis. missal quietly. I have no patience with these puor men blighting a girl's thunee ot getting well settled in life in this way ; however, thank goodnes-, it's all over uow ; the four yeuri are gone this three mouths md ty morrow ou will he the happy iviiu oi a man whose age will e.oiitiuHiid your respect, and whose posi tion will secure you every comfort." "Ami one, mania, whom nothing on earth but the solemn promise to my poor lather would make me call husband." "Well, dear, it is fortunate lor your ' future interests that you made that promise. I 'm sure Mr. 'I icdgar is a man 1 alter my own heart. If I hadn't niher ', views for my children's sake. I bhould , have set my cap at him myself." "L m sure, madam, Mr. I r.dgar would feel too much honored if he knew your Hcutiinents ; the candid iivowell of them is, I think, Irghly calculated to add to Clara's happiucss under existing circum stances." "Well, you know, Uncle Joseph, Iain candid to a fault." "Decidedly, madam, most decidedly," 1 replied, a remark which caused M ....

I am so wretched ; I dread to.morrow; oh, why will uot God pity me, aud take away my life ?"

But it was iotpoMible, ud to-iuorrow would TERMS $1 50 per Annum if paid in Advance seal her fate. It was not a pleasaut journey, that, Mrs Webster read and slept at intervals the whole time, and when eho slept Clara nestled close to me. We arrived at. York about six o'clock and, just as the train was slacking speed into the station, a iuai d jumped on to the footboard, locked or unlocked the door, and ret laiticd there uutil the train stopped.
