Every thing was faultless—from the icing on tl cake to the arrangement of the bride's waterfall. Mrs. Vaughan cried just enough, not: to redden her nose ; Vaughan did the dignified paterfamilias to a.chartn ; and' George and Katie were so affectionate. as to give the world the idea, that here• was a match made in heaven. - The bridal breakfast over, the white moire antique and orange flowers were laid' aside, and the pretty traveling snit of alpaca, with macarine blue trimming, was donned—ihe sweetest love of a thing Madame D'Aubrey had made- up for the season. Then there was the little bonnet of gray silk to match the, dress, with its' blue face trimming to match Katie's eyes:; the golden bird of paradise dropping its plumage over the crown ; and it was such a fine morning,' and everything loolted _propitious; and in the midst of congratulatione and-kiss es; George and Katie started for the di pdt. They arrived just in season. The whistle sounded in the distance. Gorge buckled up his travelling shawl and Katie grasped her parasol. "George, dearest," said the bride, "do run opt and see to * the trunks I I should 'die 6, when we get to the Falls, my'' clothes should not be there I It would be dreadful to be .obliged= to go to dinner in my travelling dress I Go see to them, there's ' a daring.!" George vaniethed ; the train, puffing and smoking, shot into the depot. Con ductor popped hie head into the ladies' room, shouting at the top of his voice : aboard for Danville ! Come, hurry up, ladies! Five milmtes behind time and another train due." ,10., Katie did not know whether she 'was bound for Danville , or not ; probably ihewai, she said rapidly to herself, and she had better get in , and let George follow. So she entered the long and Smoky vehicle, feeling very muck at sea, , and ready ,to, cry at,the slightest provocation: ' -The conductor passed by her seat; she.canght him by the.. arm : , "Is my husband="- "Oh, yes, yes, all right," said the of hurrying on in a way renew officiala have. "I'll send him right along," and he vanished from view in THE WIFE BY CLARA AUGUSTA the long line of moving carriages. Meanwhile, George having seen to the baggage—a proceeding that had on copied more tune than he had intended —returned to the ladies' room to find Katie missing—searched about wildly, inquiring of every one he met, but with out success. " She's probably already in the train, sir," chid a ticket agent of whom he made inquiry. "You are going to Buf falo, I think you said; that's the train to Buffalo, you'll likely find her there. Just starting; not a moment to lose." George grasped the, .railing- of the hind car as it fiew,hy, and, flinging open the door, he . rushed through car after car, but seeking in ,yaiik for Katie., She was not on the train. " Most likely she got on the wrong train and went . by Groton," said a con ' ductor. - "Groton is a way station fifteen miles further ahead. We stop there fif teen or twenty reinures for refieshments. You'll doubtless find her there." The cars flew over the track. George mentally blessed the man who invented steam engines-Lhe could reach Katie so niuch sooner. Dear little thing ! how vexed and troubled she must George grew quite lachrymose over her desolate condition. . But it seemed ages to George before they whirled up to the platfortn at Gro ton, and then he did not wait to practice any courtesy. He leaped out impetu ously, knocking over an old lady with a flower pot and a bird cage in her band, demolishing the pot and putting the 'birds into hysterics. The old lady was indignant and hit George a rap with her -umbrella• that spoiled forever the fair proportions of his bridal beaver, but he was too much engaged in thought or h:s lost bride to spare a regret for his, hat. He flew'through the astonished crowd mashing up a crinoline here, and knock ing over a small boy there, _until he reached the clerk of the station. Yee, the clerk believed there was one lady had come alone ; she had gone to the Belvidere House—she must be the one. George waited to hear no more. He hurried up the street to the place, where the landlord assured him that no lady of Katie's style had arrived ; perhaps ehe had stopped at Margate, ten miles bask.' George seized on the hope. There was no train; to Margate until the next morn ing, but the wretched husband could not wait all night—be would walk. He got directions about the roads . ; was told that it was a straight one—for 'the most of the way through the woods —rather lonesome but pleasant. He let'forth at onee,'itot itopping to swat low a mouthful. Excitement had - taken away his appetite. - The fine day had developed .into a 'cloudy evening—the night would be•darker than usual. George.hastened 'on, too much excit ed to feel fatigue"—too much agoniied about Katie to notice that he had split _his elegant Frenck gaiters out at the sides. After three or four hours hard walk ing, he began to think that something mast be Wrong, He - ought to be ap proaching the suburbs of Margate. In fact, he ought to have reached the vill age itself eometitne before. He grew a little doubtful about his 'being on the right road, and began to look about him. There was no road at all, or rather it 'was all road ; for all vestige of fenceii and wheel tritcks had vanished—there was forest, forerft everywhere. 'Tile very character of the ground be - neath his feet changed at-every step he. took., It grew softer. and ;softer, _until he sank , ankle , deep in mud; and, ,sud denly, before be ,could turn about, he fell in almost to his - armpits. 'He had stumbled into a quagmire 1 A swift horror Came over him ! People had died befortknoW in places like. his—and it would be so dreadful to die thus, and 'Katie neireektiow what had become of him. Fie struggled with the strength "of desperation to free himself; but he might as well hive taken it coolly. He was held fast. Thus slowly the hours wore away. 'The night was ages long. The sun had `iieVer" taken .so- much time to rise in'; but probably' it•realized ' that nothing ...could. be done-nntil it was up ; WA Was •nclt 'dfspoiled to hurry, As soon as it was' fairly light, George began: to scream at theitorrothisvoice, in the-hope that Some one-who-inight be gding - eoteewhere tight heel.

At last, just as George was beginning to despair, he heard a voice in the dis tance calling out': " Hillo, there I is it you or a frog V' _ me;'- - cried - Onorge; -- - and I shall_he -dead in ten .minutes I Come quick I I'm into the' mud up to my 'eyes ' Directly an old woman appeared, a sunbonnet on her head and a basket on her arm. She was, huckleberrying. " 'lle land. sake," cried she, "you're in for it, ain't ye ?" " Served ya right! I'm glad of it ! Didn't ye see the notice that the old man put up, that nobody must come a huckleberrying in this 'ere swamp?" "Huckleberrying !" exclaimed George angrily. "You must think a fellow be side himself to come into the jungle, if he knew it Ifuckleberrying, indeed ! I am after my wife I" " Land sake`!'Your wife ! Well, of all things, I declare I never I" `.She got on the wrong train, and so did I ; and respect she's at Margate, and I started from Groton last night to walk there, and lost my Way. Help me out, do, that's a dear woman !" The old woman steadied herself by a tree, and being a woman of good muscles, she soon drew George out— mud from head to foot. He shook him self. " There, if you'll show me the way I'll go right on—" "No. you won't, eitherl You'll go right over to our house and have a cup of coffee and something to eat, and a suit of the old man's clothes to put on while I dry yourn.; and send Tom over to Margate with the horse and wag on to bring your wife." "You're a_ trump," cried George, wringing her hand. "God bless you l You shall be well rewarded for your kindness." Mrs. Stark's house was only a little way distant, and to its shelter she took - George. Tom was dispatched to.Mar gate to bunt up Mrs. Jameson; and George, arrayed in a suit of Mr. Stark's clothes—blue swallow-tailed coat, home made gray pantaloons, cow-bide boots, and white hat, with a broad brim,. for the Starks were Friends—felt like a new man. They gave him a good breakfast, which did not come amiss ; and, while Tom was absent, the old lady mitile him lie down on theilounge and take a nap . Tom yeturned about.. noon._ He had scoured the whole village:but found nothing. Only one passenger had - left the train at Margate on ,the previous day, and he was an old man with pat ent.plasters for sale. Poor George was frenzied. He rush ed out of the house and stood looking first np and then down the road, uncer tain which way' to wend his course. Suddenly the train - for Groton, swept past, and a white handkerchief was swinging from an open window, and above' the handkerchief George" caught the gleam of the golden hair and blue ribbons 1 It was Katie beyond a doubt He cleared the fence at a bound, and rushed after the flying train. He. ~ran till be was ready,to'drop, when ha ,came upon some‘men with a hand-car, who were repairing the road. He,gave them ten dollars to take him to Groton. He was sure he could find Katie there 1 But no the train had not stopped at all. This was the express for Buffalo. Brit a by-stander infdrmed him that a lady answering the description he gave of Katie, had been seen 'the day bef.pre at Danville, crying, and saying she had lost.her husband. George, darted off. He caught with avidity at the hdpe thus held out. . must be Katie ! Who else had lost her husband? A train was just linving for Danville, He sprang on board, and suffered an eternity during the transit, for it was an accommodation train, and everybody knows about those horrible delays a every station. But they reached Denville at last. George inquired for the lady who had lost her husband. Yes, she was all right—she had gone to the American House to wait for him. She iiipeoted him by every train, till he came, ,said the ticket master. . e. hurried With ,all ,speed,,to , the American. Yes, she was there,. said the eark ; she was Vatting for her heshand:4ooin 221 light hand,•second flight.

B VOL. XII.--NO. 32. " My Katie ! my darling I my darling I have I found you at last ?" She turned her face and looked at him before she spoke, and then she set up such a scream as made the very hair stand on George's head. "You are-not my James !" she cried. "Oh; heaven ! Help help ! Some body come quickly. I shall be robbed and murdered ! Help ! help! Murder! thieves !" George stood aghast. The lady was middle aged with false teeth, and a de. cidedly snuffy-looking nose. No more like the charming little Katie than she was like the Venus de Medici I He fumed to flee just as the stairway was alive with people alarmed by the cries of the woman. They tried to stop him, but he would not be stayed. He took the stairs at a leap, and landed somewhere near the bottom, among the wreck of three chambermaids, and as many white aproned waiters. And before any one could seize him be was rushing down over the front steps. A lady and gentleman were slowly ascending them, and George in his mad haste, ran against the lady and broke in the brim of her bonnet. "You rascal 1" cried the gentlemen with her, "what do you mean by treat ing a lady in this manner ?" and he seized uur hero by the collar. Then, for the first time, George looked at the couple before him. " 'Tis Katie I Oh, Katie l'' cried he, for this time there was no mistake; it was Katie and her uncle Charles. "Oh, my wife ! my wife I" He tried to take her in his arms, but she Bed from him in terror. "Take that dreadful man away," she cried. " I am sure he is insane or drank ! Only see his boots and his aw ful hat I" "I tell yoti I am your own George Oh, Katie, where have you been ?" ex 'claimed he. Katie looked at him now, and recog nizing him, began to cry. "Ob. dear I that I should have ever lived to see this day ! My George that, I thought so pure and good, faithless and intoxicated! Oh, uncle Charles what will become of me ?" "My. dear niece, be patient," said her " I think this is George, and we will hear what he has to say before con demning him. Mr. Jameson, I met your wife in the cars yesterday, and she in formed me that you had deserted her at the Windham depot. Of course I could not believe that your absence was in tentional, and I persuaded her to re main here while I telegraphed to„ the principal stations along the road for in formation of you. Why did I receive no answer ?" "Because the telegraph does not run into old Mr. Stark's huckleberry swamp, where I had the honor of spending last night," said George, losing his temper. "Bat this extraordinary disguise 7" " My clothes were muddy, and I have got on Mr. Stark's,"' said George. And though the explanation was not partic ularly lucid to those who heard it, they were satisfied. "My dearest George," cried Katie rushing into his arms, "and so you did not desert me, and I shan't have to .be divorced 2" "Never, my darling ! and we'll never be eepttrated again for a moment." "No, not for all, the baggage in the world 1 Oh, George, you don't know bow I have suffered." - The crowd, could be kept ignorant no longer, for scores had assembled around the hotel, drawn Thither by the disturb ance. Matters were explained, and cheers long and loud rent the air. The landlord got up an impromptu wedding dinner, at which Katie presid ed ; and George, looking very sheepish in Mr. Stark's swallow-tail, did the hon ors. They, proceeded on their tour next day and soon afterwards Mr. and Mrs. Stark were delighted to receive a box by express, containing the lost suit of the old gentleman, and the wherewithal to purchase him another, beside the most handsome drawn silk bonnet for Mrs. Stark that the old lady had ever seen. " There, old man," said she, turning from the glass.at which she had been -surseying herself in the new bonnet, "I killers told'-yon that huckleberry swamp would turn to something if it was only to raise frogs in.
